[12:01] <Ricky28269> Does anyone know how I might be able to run Microsoft Office 2007 under Linux? I am really thinking about switching from Vista to Ubuntu, at least to try it, but I don't know if OpenOffice will be good enough... I love the new features of Office 2007, enough for it to be a reason why I would stay on Vista (and I don't want to dual boot, my hard drive is small enough as is, this is a laptop)

[12:02] <Madpilot> vio, isn't that one of MS's fonts? It might be in the MS core fonts package
[12:02] <DrNick> i think it is
[12:02] <mapez> mdma yes you can
[12:02] <vio> its a m$ font yeah.. need it for wine
[12:02] <DrNick> (in ms core fonts)

[12:03] <vio> Ricky28269: thanks buddy :)
[12:03] <Ricky28269> vio: I hope it works, I copied it from my currently-running Vista but I shouldn't think it would be incompatible...

[12:03] <lockmist> *waves*

[12:04] <Ricky28269> vio: I don't see why it wouldn't, it's a .ttf file so I'm assuming it would be standard

[12:05] <csarven> whast the difference between 6.10 and 6.06 LTS?

Is there any way for Ubuntu to retain the "acpi=off" parameter even when the kernel is updated so that I don't have to hand-edit menu.lst everytime?

[12:18] <morpheus74> Hi.  Can someone who's used both Ubuntu and Xubuntu tell me if there is a huge performance difference?
[12:18] <sethk> zilly6_, dpkg has options to orce
[12:18] <sethk> morpheus74, biggest difference is how long the system takes to start up
[12:18] <SuperQ> brent: you need to update the kopt= line
[12:18] <mapez> mdma you get that?
[12:18] <sethk> morpheus74, once it's running, if you have enough memory, the difference is small, but not zero
[12:18] <SuperQ> brent: I have the same issue with some machines
[12:18] <mdma> mapez, it's too hard

[12:19] <TaZCorp> good afternoon guys, well... ill be looking now for 2 weeks for controlers , drivers to get my lexmark x5450 working on my faboulus Ubuntu edgy, any of you guys haz idea where i can get it.   i know CUPS should have it but they dont :(
[12:19] <sethk> morpheus74, not yet, no.  I've been using wmaker recently, which I consider a real sleeper and an excellent option.
[12:19] <brent> SuperQ: how do I do that?  I'm an experienced Linux user, so you can just point me in the right direction if you don't have the patience/time
[12:19] <Akuma_> which one should i go for, nvidia or ATI ? which one is best supported on linux/ubuntu?
[12:19] <sethk> morpheus74, it has close to the features of KDE is it's seriously faster
[12:19] <Alumin> _dwezel_: they don't call it anything...as far as I know, the feature doesn't exist
[12:19] <Alumin> that's what I'd call it if I wrote it :)
[12:19] <RAW-mEAT> Akuma_ use nvidia
[12:19] <brent> SuperQ: update kopt=line, that is.  I've never heard of it.
[12:19] <SuperQ> brent: just add the acpi=off to the line # kopt= in /boot/grub/menu.list
[12:19] <sethk> zilly6_, what's the exact error.
[12:19] <morpheus74> sethk, Thank you.
[12:19] <SuperQ> brent: and then run update-grub
[12:20] <brent> SuperQ: thanks!  that's exactly what I needed!
[12:20] <deftonesgirl> Does anyone have any idea how I can get the linux-swap to load at boot-up?
[12:20] <SuperQ> brent: yea, no problem
[12:20] <mapez> mdma, sorry I couldn't help but alot of times its just.. getting dirty and hope you configure stuff right.. I have to run to work though, sorry and goodbye
[12:20] <Akuma_> RAW-mEAT: how is it better? driver support?
[12:20] <bruenig> deftonesgirl, put it in /etc/fstab
[12:20] <AMTXP> hi
[12:20] <RAW-mEAT> nvidias driver support is better.
[12:20] <SuperQ> brent: one funnything is, there is also the "defoptions=quiet splash" line
[12:20] <sethk> deftonesgirl, you mean swap space?
[12:20] <mdma> mapez, no worries thanks for affort anyway

[12:21] <chili555> michup will install and let you know
[12:21] <zilly6_> thanks bruenig
[12:21] <SuperQ> brendon: you can't remove both options, update-grub will put it back.. but you can replace "quiet splash" with a non-existant keyword like "nosplash" it will work
[12:21] <bruenig> deftonesgirl, what is the name of the drive /dev/what

[12:30] <jimmygoon> jesus christ, Is there a way of removing the crap names gcj without it removing eclipse?
[12:30] <Znuff> bruenig, trust me, there are
[12:30] <PORDO> AAC?!
[12:30] <zilly6_> the faac library was crashing left and right
[12:30] <blahman> here is my problem with installing ubuntu, here is the link:  http://youtube.com/watch?v=Bn3GD0JxsFA
[12:31] <Znuff> but the disk/cpu/ram etc. can't keep up with that speed under wine
[12:31] <zilly6_> PORDO what's wrong with AAC?
[12:31] <bruenig> Znuff, well works great here, you probably have configured poorly
[12:31] <Znuff> bruenig, what's your maximum download speed?
[12:31] <vio> omg, what is the command to mount example: Mount /home/User_name/Desktop/tda.cue /media/cdrom3 ?
[12:31] <Ricket> Can someone please tell me what the bar thing is, at the top of the window at about 3:30 in this video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xC5uEe5OzNQ
[12:31] <zilly6_> vio you have it backwards
[12:31] <Ricket> It looks like a really awesome shortcut bar program that I kinda want
[12:31] <zilly6_> wait, sorry
[12:31] <vio> zilly6_:  how does it go?
[12:31] <blahman> here is my problem with installing ubuntu, here is the link:  http://youtube.com/watch?v=Bn3GD0JxsFA
[12:31] <zilly6_> i didn't relize you had a cue file
[12:32] <vio> its actually a *bin file
[12:32] <AMTXP> ok well
[12:32] <vio> shouldn't that command work?
[12:32] <TaZCorp> sizzam, tow weeks ago i bought a lexamark x5450, since then ill be looking for the controlers to make the printer or scanner work, but i havent found them :( i asked on several forums, even sent an email to lexamark asking for help, i looked into CUPS, SANE, and linux printers web pages. none of them has the right controlers :( so u or any of ur friends haz idea how to make my lexmark x5450 work ?
[12:33] <AMTXP> i can't figure out what the heck people are talking about, too many users -- anyone I can privately chat with that could help me with my Ubuntu installation problem(s)

[12:33] <jimmygoon> Rephrased: how can I install eclipse without gcj crap?
[12:33] <zilly6_> vio http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/show/2699 maybe this might help
[12:33] <vio> zilly6_:  thank you :)
[12:33] <sethk> TaZCorp, I can probably help with printing.  Not sure about scanning.
[12:33] <zilly6_> any other torrent client recommendations?
[12:33] <TaZCorp> any help , thnks
[12:34] <TaZCorp> :D
[12:34] <bruenig> zilly6_, all pretty much goes downhill from utorrent with azureus at the bottom of the pile

[12:35] <zilly6_> so utorrent+wine is the best? this is a crazy world we're living in
[12:35] <bruenig> Ricket, kiba-dock
[12:35] <Ricket> bruenig, thanks
[12:35] <Enverex> I seem to be suffering from generally slow hard-drive speed, can anyone suggest anything?
[12:35] <bruenig> zilly6_, they are said to be contemplating a port, hopefully
[12:36] <Znuff> Ricket, if you find out, let me know :)
[12:36] <Ricket> Znuff: bruenig said it was "kiba-dock"
[12:36] <sizzam> TaZCorp: i can't find anyone that has had any luck with the lexmark x5450
[12:36] <zilly6_> bruenig, why isn't the source free?
[12:36] <innooo> Enverex, man hdparm
[12:36] <Znuff> uh. let's see
[12:36] <sizzam> TaZCorp: this is the only article i could find:  http://www.ubuntu-es.org/index.php?q=node/41187
[12:36] <sizzam> TaZCorp: its in spanish, but the only feedback in there is 'buy an HP' ;-)
[12:36] <pengulord> hello
[12:36] <brunoUT> can someone help me install from a dvd....im getting an PERMISSION DENIED error when trying to install??
[12:37] <zilly6_> bruenig, but you recommend uT on wine?
[12:37] <bruenig> zilly6_, yeah, works great
[12:37] <Enverex> innooo, I've read it lots, but it makes little sense when you don't know what half the things do (even with the vague descriptions)
[12:37] <pengulord> what is the cheapest notebook i should buy for decent performance
[12:37] <jimmygoon> Is there really no way of getting eclipse with gcj? thats a dang shame
[12:37] <AMTXP> !prefix
[12:37] <ubotu> If you prefix your lines with the nickname of the person you're talking to, you have a greater chance that that person reads your messages
[12:37] <bruenig> zilly6_, it depends on what you are really looking for, if you want fully featured rss goodness with low overhead then utorrent through wine, if you want some simple thing to download a torrent every once in a while, just use some small native thing like bittornado

[12:39] <sizzam> TaZCorp: nope, i'm just telling you i don't know how to fix the problem :-(
[12:39] <bruenig> AMTXP, oh for ubuntu itself
[12:39] <AMTXP> yes
[12:39] <bruenig> AMTXP, what is the problem
[12:40] <TaZCorp> thank you anyway for your help sizzam :D
[12:40] <AMTXP> enyc, i'm using Trillian on windows rightn now
[12:40] <barcode> anyone used any of the mactel patches?
[12:40] <sizzam> no problem TaZCorp, good luck
[12:40] <asdasda> when i installed ubantu from cd I noticed for one the loading bar doesent move.., glitch i figured, but then it moves to a dos type area and nothing happends i can type but no cmd's work
[12:40] <TaZCorp> and sethk ? where are you?
[12:40] <vio> does any1 know how to mount a *bin file or a *cue file?
[12:40] <bruenig> AMTXP, just to preface, I recommend 32 bit to prevent headaches in the future, but if you wish
[12:40] <sizzam> TaZCorp: i would recommend putting a post in ubuntuforums.org about that one, i don't see any results in the forums when i search for that printer model
[12:40] <bruenig> !iso | vio convert it to iso
[12:40] <ubotu> vio convert it to iso: 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.
[12:40] <enyc> AMTXP: right.. can you see extra window r.e. me?
[12:41] <TaZCorp> okai sizzam, thats my next step
[12:41] <vio> bruenig: thanks i'll try that
[12:41] <barcode> does anyone know how to fix an error "patches will not apply cleanly" when compiling your own kernel?
[12:41] <sethk> TaZCorp, you mean where am I geographically, or why didn't I answer?
[12:41] <TaZCorp> why u didnt answer :D
[12:41] <Cara_WCAM_MSN> hi folks........ i wanted to install ubuntu, but I don't want stuff like Evolution, Thunderbird, GAIM, etc installed with the system. Does downloading the SERVER ISO and later issuing "apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" produce the SAME exact effect as to install a completely working functional desktop like "kubuntu"?
[12:41] <AMTXP> bruenig, well for starters with the Live CD (for both 32-bit and 64-bit) messes up my mbr - and I spent a lot of money on this proccesor and I really would like to use it's 64-bit capabilities
[12:42] <bruenig> AMTXP, there is very little upside on the desktop, and there are a lot of drawbacks, such as no flash or java
[12:42] <AMTXP> bruenig, ok
[12:42] <AMTXP> bruenig, i'll hold off on that then
[12:42] <sethk> AMTXP, I doubt the problem with your MBR is really caused by your processor
[12:42] <nixnoob> how can I make it so that I can run a program from command line?
[12:42] <AMTXP> sethk, i know
[12:43] <sethk> AMTXP, ok.  do you want to try and fix it?
[12:43] <nikin> Cara: kubuntu-desktop installs kind of 1,2 Gigs of packages inclusing gaim, and such
[12:43] <bruenig> nixnoob, you mean so that when you run the program it opens in the command line or something else
[12:43] <foug> how can i rename my drives in linux?
[12:43] <michup> i installed libwxbase.2.4-1 and reinstall this game
[12:43] <TaZCorp> sethk, i meant, why u didnt answer
[12:43] <AMTXP> bruenig, ok so using 32-bit Ubuntu 6.10 then
[12:43] <michup> but still error accoure
[12:44] <nixnoob> bruenig, no current i have to cd to the dir which contains the file and then ./ it, I want to open a terminal and type "program" to run it.
[12:44] <Cara_WCAM_MSN> nikin: oh I see, everything is integrated and is set up to have another package here and there
[12:44] <michup> scorched3d: error while loading shared libraries: libwx_gtk-2.4.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No scorched3d: error while loading shared libraries: libwx_gtk-2.4.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[12:44] <michup> such file or directory
[12:44] <Chai_Sangeen> hello everyone
[12:44] <AMTXP> enyc, your window isn't showing up on Trillian, do you have aim or something else
[12:44] <bruenig> AMDXP, yeah, recognize also that ubuntu 7.04 comes out in 8 days, so that will be a short lived install
[12:44] <sethk> TaZCorp, I'm doing paid support also; have to answer them first when they show up.  :)
[12:44] <billy> !hi | Chai_Sangeen
[12:44] <ubotu> Chai_Sangeen: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[12:44] <enyc> AMTXP: hrrm you may well want to try with feisty when its' released in <2 weeks
[12:44] <TaZCorp> oOoOOoO i see...
[12:44] <vio> !bin2iso
[12:44] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bin2iso - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:44] <EADG> What is the file I need to edit to NOT startx at boot?
[12:44] <enyc> AMTXP: I am on telnet talkers ;-)
[12:45] <bruenig> nixnoob, oh, just put it in the path
[12:45] <sethk> bruenig, not usually advisable to install a distro release on the day it is released.  Nor on the week, or even month.
[12:45] <bruenig> nixnoob, what is this thing you have to type
[12:45] <TaZCorp> ill wait for your help :)
[12:45] <nikin> Cara but you can install kde4
[12:45] <enyc> AMTXP: telnet to bandicoot.merseine.nu port 9390  or something ;-)
[12:45] <bruenig> sethk, come on
[12:45] <AMTXP> bruenig, you can call me amt or andy or andrew. I will definately be using fiesty though - I might use the beta
[12:45] <Znuff> anyone knows if you can get Kiba-Dock to act like the mac-osx dock?
[12:45] <Znuff> like a systray?
[12:45] <nikin> it needs some playing, and tweeking :D but it is doable
[12:45] <nixnoob> bruenig im lazy, cd D* cd Peer* ./Peer.pl
[12:45] <sethk> bruenig, come on, what?  I install a new distro release on a test system only.  That has paid off exponentially, especially with the most recent ubuntu release.
[12:45] <bruenig> nixnoob, but are there other things in the directory that it uses to run?
[12:45] <asdasda> question, after installing ubantu desktop it stay's at a cmd prompt and no com's work anyone else have this problem before?
[12:45] <jonah8204> i haven't been able to get my ene internal card reader to work, i've googled and found a bunch of forum posts with people in the same situation. anything i should try or is it hopless?
[12:45] <chable> !ati
[12:45] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:46] <Cara_WCAM_MSN> nikin: is it possible to have GNOME desktop without evolution and the other clutter?
[12:46] <enyc> AMTXP: there should be a release-candidate feisty any moment now... would avoud beta version mysely
[12:46] <nixnoob> bruenig yes probably
[12:46] <bruenig> sethk, well you do serious work on your machines though right
[12:46] <Znuff> nikin, it is?
[12:46] <chable> hmm
[12:46] <sethk> bruenig, right.  I install the new release on a non-critical machine or two.
[12:46] <AMTXP> bruenig, ok but generally with installing Ubuntu - it cannot detect my  IDE hard drive. With windows xp pro, I have to use a floppy with drivers that came with the motherboard. Strangely enough, though, Fedora core does detect my hd
[12:46] <nikin> Cara_WCAM_MSN,  i ame sure it is...  just it will be not easy
[12:47] <bruenig> nixnoob, ok I would symlink it then with "sudo ln -s /home/$USER/Desktop/Peer/Peer.pl /usr/local/bin/peer"
[12:47] <TaZCorp> Znuff,  go to , system, preferences, sesions
[12:47] <nikin> Znuff, i ame sure....
[12:47] <TaZCorp> ham
[12:47] <vio> bruenig: how can i execute bin2iso? or what is the command to convert my file tda.bin to tda.iso?
[12:47] <Znuff> TaZCorp, yes?
[12:47] <enyc> AMTXP: sounds like a special chipset/controller
[12:47] <MrMakeveli> hey guys whats happenin?
[12:47] <nixnoob> bruenig I want to have your babies.
[12:47] <bruenig> vio, you have to compile it, it tells you how to compile it, using gcc
[12:47] <vio> bruenig: i've done that
[12:47] <enyc> AMTXP: sounds like it is not a common PATA controller... some kind of extra promise (or whatever) chip...
[12:48] <bruenig> vio, well use ./bin2iso nameoffile.bin
[12:48] <sethk> AMTXP, what ency said sounds likely to me.
[12:48] <vio> bruenig: thanks ;)
[12:48] <enyc> AMTXP: you may well find feisty w/ 2.6.20 kernel has the necessary driver... or not..
[12:48] <AMTXP> bruenig, well its not specialized just for this ASUS motherboard
[12:48] <nixnoob> vio you have to specify an output file as well
[12:48] <MrMakeveli> does anyone have any suggestions for a partition scheme and/or suggested filesystems for those partitions?
[12:48] <AMTXP> bruenig, i've seen it on other's as well
[12:48] <Znuff> gotta go, bye
[12:48] <ror> ahh, nice being back on x86; at work I use amd64 and I cba to get flash working in it
[12:48] <nixnoob> ./bin2iso nameoffile.bin nameofis.iso
[12:48] <TaZCorp> OoO
[12:48] <bruenig> AMTXP, yeah don't know much about that
[12:48] <vio> nixnoob: thanks buddy :)
[12:49] <AMTXP> bruenig, i'm trying to remember the name of hte drivers now....they have a linux release but i never found out how to make a driver disk
[12:49] <AMTXP> when the RC comes out, i'll try it
[12:49] <sethk> MrMakeveli, I strongly advise you to use only one partition.  Another for swap, if you need swap.
[12:49] <asdasda> whats better to have as an alt Os to Xp? Ubantu, Kubantu, or Xubuntu?
[12:49] <foug> how can i rename my drives in linux?
[12:49] <sethk> MrMakeveli, the supposed advantages to complicate partitions are illusory
[12:49] <nikin> Cara_WCAM_MSN, but better dont use the server ISO .. if you want a desktop system.. the CD has a menu to install a console only system.. but so you get a desktop kernel
[12:49] <AMTXP> bruenig, ok and the other problem is - probably related to it not finding the hd, is that the LiveCD messes up my mbr
[12:50] <sethk> foug, they aren't named, so you can't rename them.  Be more specific about what you need to do.
[12:50] <Jump86> im playing an mp3 in rhythmbox but its not using the tag info from Easytag.. is it possible that this file has two types of tags on it and rhythmbox is using one while easytag updates the other
[12:50] <michup> do i have to reboot my computer after installed libwx_gtk to take effect?
[12:50] <AMTXP> bruenig, and i have to reformat with windows xp to get it working again
[12:50] <foug> sethk: well i right click on my external hard drive and Rename is greyed out
[12:51] <enyc> AMTXP: Im just looking for RC now... its due 2007/04/12 apparently
[12:51] <sethk> foug, you have to be root.  But be careful, that's not a simple name.  it exists in automounting configuration, not just in the /dev directory.
[12:51] <nixnoob> bruenig it began to run and came back with an error
[12:51] <foug> sethk: yea i'm a big noob still so i'll work wit it later hehe
[12:51] <sethk> foug, good plan.  :)
[12:51] <bruenig> nixnoob, how are you running it
[12:51] <cab10886> #ati
[12:51] <AMTXP> bruenig, ite8211 is the name of the motherboard driver....is there someplace i can search to see if Ubuntu 7.x supports it?
[12:51] <cab10886> dang
[12:51] <MrMakeveli> sethk: im thinking for backup purposes it might be helpful to have a seperate partition for ~/
[12:52] <asdasda>   whats better to have as an alt Os to Xp? Ubantu, Kubantu, or Xubuntu?
[12:52] <bruenig> AMTXP, don't know
[12:52] <vio> nixnoob: i get this error: bash: bin2iso: command not found
[12:52] <MrMakeveli> sethk: so that if there is some kind of corruption, my home folder will be left intact
[12:52] <nixnoob> type "peer" in console. after doing sudo ln -s /home/$USER/Desktop/Peer/Peer.pl /usr/local/bin/peer
[12:52] <bruenig> vio, you have to be in the same directory as the program and do ./bin2iso
[12:52] <bruenig> nixnoob, and what does it say
[12:52] <MrMakeveli> sethk: thats why im wondering if it might help to have it for other ones as well
[12:52] <sethk> MrMakeveli, there's some sense to that, but backup to a different physical device is necessary.
[12:52] <dregin> Running edgy on a Dell D400 laptop. There is no splash screen on boot or shutdown. Only a blinking "_" cursor. This has been the case since a clean install. Any ideas what might be up?
[12:53] <Chai_Sangeen> hello billy :)
[12:53] <vio> bruenig: i am.. the file doesn't have an extension like bin2iso.x or what ever doesn't have any *...
[12:53] <billy> watup Chai_Sangeen
[12:53] <MrMakeveli> seth: it has to be a seperate device completely? i thought it was still beneficial even if it was still on the same hd
[12:53] <nixnoob> can't locate ToolBar.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl ..................
[12:53] <sethk> MrMakeveli, I don't believe that it's necessary.  It used to be common because of restrictions on the maximum size of things (like file systems), but that's no longer an issue.
[12:53] <asdasda> hey i have the same problem on my Dell laptop
[12:53] <bruenig> nixnoob, hmm
[12:53] <sethk> MrMakeveli, I'm not saying it's not at all beneficial
[12:53] <Chai_Sangeen> billy, nothing much just hanging around....
[12:53] <foug> sethk: do you know why my taskbar won't stay unexpanded? i have Expand unchecked but it won't listen
[12:53] <foug> sethk: sometime's it's small but most of the time it's always expanded
[12:53] <sethk> MrMakeveli, I'm saying that you really need to back up to another device, anyway, so it doesn't buy you much if you are properly backing up.
[12:53] <enyc> AMTXP: hrrm i remember that.. ite controller... had this before...
[12:54] <sethk> foug, in gnome?  kde?
[12:54] <vio> bruenig: i just compied the complied file to the folder i wanted to covert
[12:54] <foug> sethk: gnome
[12:54] <billy> Chai_Sangeen: come on over to #ubuntu-offtopic.  It's a rockin good time.  :|
[12:54] <nixnoob> bruenig I think I know why, its probably dependencies on those files in the folder along with peer.pl and it doesnt kno where to look.
[12:54] <bruenig> nixnoob, you could try creating a small script that will launch it and then put that in the place of /usr/local/bin/peer
[12:54] <enyc> AMTXP: erm... I would test with the livecd ;-)
[12:54] <vio> bruenig: copyied
[12:54] <sethk> foug, can't help with gnome, sorry, I run kde and wmaker
[12:54] <nixnoob> bruenig that might be the answer
[12:54] <foug> sethk: darn, with KDE can i have my taskbar unexpanded like gnome? and freely click and drag all panels around?
[12:54] <vio> bruenig: i copyed bin2iso to the folder i wanted to covert the file like ~/Desktop/tda/
[12:55] <AMTXP> enyc, found a wiki entry on gentoo-wiki "in kernels > 2.6.19 there is a new driver available. For the newer kernel you need"
[12:55] <sethk> foug, yes.  but I'm not saying gnome has a problem with the task bar, I'm saying I don't know enough about gnome to help you with the task bar problem.
[12:55] <asdasda> guys, can anyone pls tell me the main difference between ubantu, kubantu, and xubuntu
[12:55] <bruenig> vio, and then what command did you use
[12:55] <Jump86> im playing an mp3 in rhythmbox but its not using the tag info from Easytag.. is it possible that this file has two types of tags on it and rhythmbox is using one while easytag updates the other
[12:55] <MrMakeveli> sethk: if i had some kind of file corruption where my drive was starting to act funny, if i had a seperate partition for my home folder it would be safe right? so long as the problem wasnt coming from there?
[12:55] <foug> sethk: o i know, just wondering if i should maybe switch to KDE
[12:55] <AMTXP> bruenig, what kernal did you say fiesty has?
[12:55] <Lunar_Lamp> I've used setkeycodes to add a keycode for a previously uncrecognised key - however xev doesn't pick it up.  What should I do?

[12:56] <sethk> MrMakeveli, frequently, yes, but not 100% of the time.
[12:56] <odat> anyone here able to make a patch for a module?
[12:56] <MrMakeveli> hmm
[12:56] <brian_> asdasda: they use different window managers ubuntu=gnome kubuntu=kde xubuntu=xfe
[12:56] <sethk> MrMakeveli, could have a hardware problem, which might corrupt the other one as well.
[12:56] <vio> bruenig: only this:    bin2iso tda.bin tda.iso
[12:56] <MrMakeveli> sethk: i see
[12:56] <bruenig> vio, ./bin2iso
[12:56] <chemisus> what package should you search for if you want to play mp3s?
[12:56] <vio> ok..
[12:56] <Heywood> Can anyone tell me how to fix this message, "Package linux-headers has no installation candidate"
[12:56] <sethk> MrMakeveli, drives do go bad, eventually, and sometimes there's a bad batch and they go bad sooner than eventually.

[12:57] <AMTXP> bruenig, i know but someone told me what bersion of the kernal fiesty is released with
[12:57] <MrMakeveli> sethk: i have two hds, a smaller 80gb and a larger 160gb. if i where to use the 160gb for my normal root, and then use the 80gb for the home, would there be a dramatic diffference in seek time because they are seperate drives?
[12:57] <vio> bruenig: thanks for the help :)
[12:57] <bruenig> AMTXP, 2.6.20, go to #ubuntu+1 for feisty
[12:58] <shadowhywind> does nayone know where the usplash pictures are stored?
[12:58] <bruenig> !usplash
[12:58] <ubotu> To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork
[12:58] <shadowhywind> i am just looking for one of the pictures, not how to make my own
[12:58] <Lunar_Lamp> MrMakeveli, no.  Personally, I would use the 160gb for my home drive, as that's where nearly all my space is taken up.  I have barely 15gb outside of home with loads of apps installed, and >70gb in /home
[12:58] <bruenig> shadowhywind, looks like /usr/lib/usplash
[12:59] <sethk> MrMakeveli, just the reverse.  You'll get overlapping seeks, which will increase performance
[12:59] <chemisus> bruenig, i dont see anything on those pages that say which package to search for. and i dont want to convert 20 gigs of mp3's into oggs or flac =/
[12:59] <shadowhywind> bruenig all that i see there are to .so files
[12:59] <crimeboy> shadowhywind: i make a usplash theme, with a script to install it
[12:59] <bruenig> chemisus, there is a command in the first link about half a page down, that you can copy to enable loads of codec support
[12:59] <AMTXP> ALL: thanks for your help
[12:59] <chemisus> bruenig, thanks, will check it out
[12:59] <MrMakeveli> sethk: really now? thats great. if you have time you mind explaining it a little further?
[12:59] <bruenig> shadowhywind, yeah that is what the usplash is
[12:59] <AMTXP> i'm going to dl the fiesty RC when it comes out
[01:00] <crimeboy> shadowhywind: u can find it at gnome-look.org  is atari-usplash
[01:00] <asdasda> is feisty better?
[01:00] <shadowhywind> ok thanks
[01:00] <Heywood> bruenig: Will that install the latest kernel headers?
[01:00] <crimeboy> shadowhywind: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/atari-usplash?content=53826
[01:00] <vio> bruenig: it's in iso how can i mount it ?
[01:00] <vio> !mountiso
[01:00] <dregin> Running edgy on a Dell D400 laptop. There is no splash screen on boot or shutdown. Only a blinking "_" cursor. This has been the case since a clean install. Any ideas what might be up?
[01:01] <ubotu> To mount an ISO disc image, type  sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint>  - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[01:01] <nixnoob> bruenig lol I tried the script idea and it cause some hard ass lag.....
[01:01] <Jump86> help needed: I'm playing an mp3 in Rhythmbox but its not using the tag info from Easytag.. is it possible that this file has two types of tags on it and rhythmbox is seeing one while easytag sees the other?
[01:01] <sethk> MrMakeveli, the o/s tells the hard drive to seek, and then suspends the program that requested the data, and runs other processes until the driver sends the kernel an IRQ saying "I'm ready"
[01:01] <asdasda>  dregin : I also have the same problem on my dell laptop
[01:01] <michup> ive question if i have a beryl added to start in my session in gnome even if i swich it of in beryl panel is it really switched off then?
[01:01] <sethk> MrMakeveli, so, say, one program is reading something from /, and another from /home, the two seeks can occur at the same time.
[01:01] <MrMakeveli> oh perfect
[01:02] <dregin> asdasda: I've been googling it for about a week now to no avail :(
[01:02] <shadowhywind> crimeboy i am more looking for the one from fiesty
[01:02] <bruenig> nixnoob, the script should only have to say /home/$USER/Desktop/Peer/Peer.pl
[01:02] <MrMakeveli> sethk: that would help a lot, because i store music and other media i constantly use while doing other stuff. so i should see a noticeable difference
[01:02] <bruenig> nixnoob, and the #!/bin/bash of course
[01:02] <MrMakeveli> sethk: in the home*
[01:02] <asdasda>  dre: aye.. i can't determine why either.. u trying ubantu x64?
[01:02] <crimeboy> shadowhywind: its works on feisty
[01:02] <sethk> MrMakeveli, I would expect so, yes.  won't always work out that way, but often enough to be worthwhile
[01:02] <michup> i mean do i have to remove it from start gnome session or switching it off is the same as working with normal metacity?
[01:02] <nixnoob> bruenig i gave up and did it the sloppy way but thanks
[01:03] <Enverex> Great, now that the kernel has moved all IDE devices into the SCSI section, hdparm doesn't work for setting options :(
[01:03] <dregin> asdasda: nope
[01:03] <am1> Does anyone know how to find your windows partition within Ubuntu?
[01:03] <MrMakeveli> sethk: well all it would do is help right? so seems good. maybe i should do it when feisty comes out?
[01:03] <shadowhywind> crimeboy i know, but i am looking for that picture. not a replacement
[01:03] <bruenig> am1, sudo fdisk -l
[01:03] <MrMakeveli> sethk: my current 160gb has windows xp on it that i've been meaning to format anyways
[01:03] <crimeboy> shadowhywind: the .so?
[01:03] <shadowhywind> sure, if there is a picture file within the .so
[01:04] <sethk> MrMakeveli, if you want to use it the moment it is released, then yes.  I wait a few weeks, at least, for a new release to get more stable.
[01:04] <crimeboy> shadowhywind: i just make that
[01:04] <am1> sudo fdisk -l where do you do that?
[01:04] <NessieLiberation> am1: in a terminal
[01:04] <Enverex> Does anyone know any way of optimising IDE HDs anymore?
[01:04] <NessieLiberation> does anyone know much about disks / mounting / swap?
[01:04] <shadowhywind> crimeboy how do i transform the .so file into a .jpg
[01:04] <LoneShadow> whats the best way to upgrade from dapper to edgy from console ?
[01:04] <NessieLiberation> each time i boot i have to manually set my swap
[01:05] <h4writer> hi, I got maybe a stupid question, but now I have a laptop (doesn't support polling) with two fans. The first goes down when the temperature is beneath 50C, the second by 40C. Now is my computer in idle 43C. Can I do anything to bring it beneath 40C so it is quiet?
[01:05] <sethk> NessieLiberation, you need to add the swap information to /etc/fstab
[01:05] <bruenig> LoneShadow, sudo sed 's/dapper/edgy/g' -i /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[01:05] <NessieLiberation> sethk - it is
[01:05] <EADG> What is the file I need to edit to NOT startx at boot?
[01:05] <crimeboy> shadowhywind: the imagem .so is compiled in C language and put into kernel iniit
[01:05] <|PiP|> hey just upped to 7.04 from 6.10. where is the control panel?
[01:05] <sethk> NessieLiberation, paste your /etc/fstab to the paste web site, and we'll look at why
[01:05] <NessieLiberation> sethk: but each time i boot the UUID of the swap partition changes, so it doesnt seem to work

[01:06] <LoneShadow> bruenig: is it ok if I have some external repos in sources.list as well ?
[01:06] <sethk> NessieLiberation, that's very odd.  I'm not sure what it means.  what type of device is the swap on?
[01:06] <NessieLiberation> the relevant line: UUID=e113e993-e624-463a-a40b-264ae49e53aa none swap sw 0 0
[01:06] <bruenig> LoneShadow, I would at least comment them out after the sed command, and then do "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
[01:07] <LoneShadow> I am thinking of using aptitude instead of apt-get
[01:07] <sethk> NessieLiberation, oh, don't identify the partition that way.  Use /dev/whatever

[01:15] <gRaCiOsO> MarcN,  it only has lan boot option
[01:16] <MrMakeveli> i dont know where to get the commands though, i went to the factoids site but i want fun ones
[01:16] <cab10886> bruenig, i don't want to reinstall the whole frigging thing...
[01:16] <NessieLiberation> patrick-: do ctrl+shift+t
[01:16] <bruenig> MrMakeveli, do this /msg ubotu whatever and it will return it in pm
[01:16] <patrick-> NessieLiberation: argh, you don't understand.. :/
[01:16] <MarcN> gRaCiOsO: that is PXE boot.
[01:16] <vio> cab10886: try getting envy System->Synaptics Package Manager and search for envy (install it)
[01:16] <NessieLiberation> if you have more than 1 tab open in the terminal window
[01:16] <NessieLiberation> patrick... i understand fully
[01:16] <patrick-> NessieLiberation: I know that alt+f1 or f2 or f3 switch the tty
[01:16] <cab10886> vio, what does that do?
[01:16] <bruenig> vio, envy is not in the repos
[01:16] <MrMakeveli> i want to know if anyone here knows any good commands for me to try out in the pm w/ ubotu
[01:17] <vio> i'll get the link
[01:17] <gRaCiOsO> MarcN,  so what else would i have to do or look for?
[01:17] <vio> cab10886:  it can remove your drivers "or" reinstall them
[01:17] <patrick-> NessieLiberation: but what do alt+1 alt+2 alt+3 etc... when i do this combination (arg: 1) or (arg: 2) or (arg: 3) appears
[01:17] <MarcN> gRaCiOsO: you'll need to be able to configure a DCHPd server (which  you don't want to do on your corp network unless you are behind a firewall) and tftpd and a place to unpack the ISO.
[01:17] <preaction> MrMakeveli: ubotu keeps telling you about its search function... maybe that'd be a good place to try
[01:17] <patrick-> NessieLiberation: but when I do*
[01:17] <MarcN> gRaCiOsO: it is bunch of work if you haven't done it before.
[01:17] <MarcN> gRaCiOsO: no floppy?
[01:18] <gRaCiOsO> MarcN,  no floppy and no cdrom
[01:19] <vio> cab10886: try this: http://albertomilone.com/ubuntu/nvidia/scripts/envy_0.9.1-0ubuntu4_all.deb
[01:19] <cab10886> what does that do?
[01:19] <vio> cab10886:  you can read about it here: http://www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[01:19] <MarcN> gRaCiOsO: there is probably a HOWTO on PXE install.
[01:19] <gRaCiOsO> MarcN,  i have ubuntu edgy installed at home in a desktop pc i could configure the dhcpd there and i have already configured proftpd is it?
[01:20] <livingtm> if i drop an executable script in /etc/cron.daily, should it be executing  daily?
[01:20] <bruenig> livingtm, yes
[01:20] <livingtm> bruenig, any way to prove that its working, or find errors if its not?
[01:20] <bruenig> livingtm, runs at 6:25 each morning theoretically
[01:20] <niall> SIZZAM: you are a WONDERFUL human being
[01:20] <sizzam> niall: it worked i take it?
[01:21] <niall> haha
[01:21] <niall> yeah
[01:21] <niall> thanks
[01:21] <niall> much better
[01:21] <sizzam> excellent, you're welcome
[01:21] <bruenig> livingtm, put something in the script that you can check like add "echo test > /test" or something tha is what I usually do
[01:21] <niall> no laggyness
[01:21] <IndyGunFreak> will Xubuntu 7.04 be as stable as Ubuntu 7.04
[01:21] <niall> thanks again
[01:21] <cab10886> hmmm that will get rid of the ati drivers and potentialy reinstall them?
[01:21] <livingtm> bruenig, okay thanks
[01:22] <Solitarius> patrick-, NessieLiberation: I'm pretty sure it have to do with the readline behavior of bash.  But I don't understand the man very
[01:22] <Solitarius> well.
[01:22] <gRaCiOsO> MarcN,  i will look for a PXE install howto thanks a lot =)
[01:22] <bruenig> IndyGunFreak, pretty much yeah
[01:22] <MarcN> gRaCiOsO: yes install dhcpd there, you'll also need to configure tftp (trivial FTP, not ftpd), get the appropriate kernel/initrd for PXE booting and setup ftp, http, nfs to serve the unpacked contents of the iso.
[01:22] <IndyGunFreak> bruenig: i kinda figured, think i'm gonna put xubuntu 7.04 on my laptop
[01:22] <vio> bruenig: it seems you know quite alot, how can i activate the compiz-theme-manager in feisty?
[01:22] <bruenig> !compiz | vio
[01:22] <ubotu> vio: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[01:22] <MarcN> gRaCiOsO: I use it all the time at work for RHEL, SLES but it requires a bit of setup.
[01:22] <livingtm> bruenig, interesting, if i run the script from the terminal it works fine, but it hasnt fired for the past 3 days
[01:22] <MarcN> gRaCiOsO: if you find a floppy, this is a handy site: http://www.instalinux.com/
[01:23] <vio> bruenig: i allready have compiz installed (and working) i just can't seem to find the manager im using aiglx..)
[01:23] <bruenig> vio, last line "Help in #ubuntu-effects"
[01:23] <MarcN> gRaCiOsO: actually you need a CD
[01:23] <livingtm> What user do cron jobs execute as?
[01:23] <bruenig> vio, and feisty is in #ubuntu+1
[01:23] <bruenig> livingtm, root
[01:23] <gRaCiOsO> MarcN,  i think i cant get a floppy for that laptop but i will try with PXE dont u have hotmail msn?
[01:24] <bruenig> livingtm, the ones in /etc/cron.daily do at least
[01:24] <yop> # ubuntu -es #
[01:24] <vio> bruenig: i'm not getting any answers in #ubuntu-effects, ill tryk #ubuntu+1
[01:24] <bruenig> livingtm, there is a user crontab that you can access with crontab -e
[01:24] <yop> sorry whi can i get to he spanish canal
[01:24] <bruenig> !es | yop
[01:24] <ubotu> yop: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[01:25] <yop> who
[01:25] <yop> how?
[01:25] <AlefBet> Apt just installed a new kernel, and --configure seems to hang on configuring grub.  Anyone seen this?
[01:25] <bruenig> yop, /join #ubuntu-es
[01:25] <yop> ok thanks
[01:26] <MarcN> gRaCiOsO: what?
[01:26] <unooblnxvet> Anyway, I guess no one knows.  I leave you with this: there are two major products that come out of Berkeley - LSD and Unix.  I do not believe this to be a coincidence.  No I did not make that up.  Peace
[01:26] <IndyGunFreak> bruenig: i've got one more question about xorg.conf, if you have a sec
[01:26] <sethk> AlefBet, I have, but not recently.
[01:26] <AlefBet> sethk: do you remember how you worked around it?
[01:26] <gRaCiOsO> MarcN,  i ask if u dont have hotmail messenger account to add u and i will ask u if i have dudes
[01:27] <bruenig> IndyGunFreak, just ask the channel
[01:27] <NessieLiberation> unooblnxvet: lsd is swiss ?
[01:27] <livingtm> bruenig, do the scripts in cron.daily execute sequentially or in parallel?
[01:27] <h3h_timo> hey all, has anyone had any idea updating aptitude or installing amarok?? because i havent been able to ... any help is appreciated
[01:27] <IndyGunFreak> bruenig: yeah, i just trust you're judgement...lol, when I upgrade my desktop to feisty, it has dual monitors that was a bit tricky to set up, can i just replace my feisty xorg.conf, with my edgy one, and it work?
[01:28] <bruenig> livingtm, nothing executes in parallel technically
[01:28] <unooblnxvet> whatever bruenig it was funny when I read it ;-)
[01:28] <bruenig> IndyGunFreak, that might be a question for #ubuntu+1, I don't know
[01:28] <IndyGunFreak> bruenig: good thought
[01:28] <IndyGunFreak> cuz it was a pain
[01:28] <bruenig> livingtm, it executes through the command run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily
[01:28] <bruenig> livingtm, so man run-parts and see what exactly that means
[01:29] <Fathefner> hello do u know were i can get a wireless card driver

[01:36] <NessieLiberation> Xsylotte: have you visited debuntu.org ?

[01:39] <francois> AlefBet: but being the owner of that folder, why can't I write to it ?

[01:39] <MarcN> gRaCiOsO: did you get my message?

[01:39] <whtet> thx anyway tho
[01:39] <theonlyalt> thespore, not so much. I just did a full reinstall, figure I'd get all the junk outta the way.
[01:39] <roadfish> bruenig: ok, I see ... you are feeding "deb" into /etc/apt/sources.list ... so forget my question

[01:39] <bruenig> Xsylotte, weird
[01:39] <AlefBet> francois: (you can get the permissions by typing ls -ld directory_name)
[01:39] <mrak> Ax3: there's nothing int he log
[01:39] <gRaCiOsO> MarcN,  no sorry what was it ?
[01:39] <preaction> mina_linux_Tux: you have to run depmod first though, to rebuild the dependencies
[01:40] <mrak> Ax3: it's like it never gets spawned?
[01:40] <francois> AlefBet: drwxr-xr-x 3 francois francois 4096 2007-04-08 23:05 /home/francois/Dev
[01:40] <Xsylotte> well beta5 is better then beta3? :)
[01:40] <Ax3> mrak: anything in /var/log/messages?
[01:40] <francois> AlefBet: thats for the /dev directory, in my home
[01:40] <mina_linux_Tux> preaction: it's ok did you check the Readme file , it requires that the insmod to be inserted in the /etc/rc.d/rc.local which is not present under ubuntu, so i put the module under /etc/modules what i have to than that ?
[01:40] <AlefBet> francois: what error do you get when you try to create a file there?
[01:41] <thespore> theonlyalt, reinstall no dice?
[01:41] <rg535748>  adept updater tells me another process is using the database but I do'nt have anything else running. Anyone have any idea how to fix this?
[01:41] <mrak> Ax3: no?
[01:41] <mrak> I mean, no.
[01:41] <theonlyalt> thespore, where'd you get the wireless connection manager applet? I want to give it a shot.
[01:41] <SlimeyPete> rg535748: have you closed it and then re-opened it? I find that often works
[01:41] <roadfish> can you mix packages from different releases when one release is missing that package?
[01:41] <vio> !wireless
[01:41] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[01:41] <rg535748> SlimeyPete: Yes, no dice.
[01:41] <francois> AlefBet: if i mkdir /dragan/ it says that hte file exists,
[01:41] <bruenig> roadfish, you can, not a good idea though
[01:41] <mina_linux_Tux> preaction: it requires too to be loaded before startx
[01:42] <preaction> mina_linux_Tux: most kernel modules do/are
[01:42] <SlimeyPete> rg535748: I also find that loading Synaptic and then closing it fixes Adept, but of course that relies on you having Synaptic installed ;)
[01:42] <AlefBet> francois: Are you typing "mkdir /dragan/"?
[01:42] <thespore> theonlyalt, http://sourceforge.net/projects/gtkwifi/
[01:42] <mina_linux_Tux> preaction: do/are what ?
[01:42] <preaction> mina_linux_Tux: loaded before X
[01:42] <SlimeyPete> rg535748: there's a lock file somewhere, I'm not sure where it is though. If you google around a bit you may be able to find out where it is and then remove it manually.
[01:42] <francois> AlefBet: no, sry, i did mkdir dragan/
[01:42] <mina_linux_Tux> preaction: so now what i have to do ?
[01:43] <AlefBet> francois: what are the permissions on "dragan"?
[01:43] <theonlyalt> thanks, thespore and thanks to vio for pointing that out. :)
[01:43] <mina_linux_Tux> preaction: and is it right to put it in /etc/modules at the time /etc/rc.d/rc.local not present
[01:43] <preaction> mina_linux_Tux: what do you mean by "it"
[01:43] <Ax3> mrak: ok so nothing's happening at all, but you're absolutely sure lighttpd.conf settings are all correct?
[01:43] <francois> AlefBet: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-04-11 20:28 dragan/
[01:43] <Xsylotte> bruenig, hmmm it has installed beta5
[01:43] <nikin> i have learnd something new today.. SVN is HDD eating thing ... :D
[01:43] <mina_linux_Tux> preaction: the module , as you can there is the tkusb.ko
[01:43] <mrak> yes, when I run it with /usr/sbin/lighttpd -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttp.conf -D (foreground)
[01:43] <roadfish> bruenig: if the package didn't run well, would an uninstall work reliably?
[01:43] <mrak> it runs and everything is fine
[01:43] <francois> AlefBet: but i don't know why, because i didn't use sudo, i just used mkdir
[01:44] <AlefBet> francois: Did you create "dragan" as yourself or as root?
[01:44] <elpargo> ?abiword
[01:44] <bruenig> SlimeyPete, /var/lib/dpkg/lock, there is also one i /var/lib/aptitude/lock and /var/lib/apt/lists/lock not sure which is which
[01:44] <francois> AlefBet: as myself,
[01:44] <AlefBet> francois: that's odd.  Try typing "chown francois:users dragan"
[01:44] <bruenig> roadfish, you would have dependency issues likely and that becomes tiresome
[01:44] <SlimeyPete> bruenig: ah right, cheers
[01:44] <elpargo> anyone can help me with dictionaries and abiword, how do I install one?
[01:45] <Xsylotte> bruenig, maybe because i have amd64 ?
[01:45] <francois> AlefBet: chown: changing ownership of `dragan': Operation not permitted
[01:45] <Xsylotte> btw. any idea how to install two things
[01:45] <francois> AlefBet: maybe use sudo in front of that ?
[01:45] <preaction> mina_linux_Tux: did the module load? is the module in the appropriate /lib/modules/`uname -a` directory?
[01:45] <bruenig> Xsylotte, doubt it
[01:45] <Dan4> does anyone know how to add spaces to a printer URL without it removing everything after it
[01:45] <bruenig> Xsylotte, how to install two things in general or two specific things
[01:45] <Xsylotte> flash player in firefox  (amd64) and logitech mx500 optical mouse (edgy eft)
[01:45] <mrak> Ax: I removed the --quiet option for start-stop-deamon in the init script and now it seems to work?
[01:45] <Xsylotte> couldn't find any manual that works
[01:45] <michup> ive problem with my VGA and sound
[01:45] <bruenig> Xsylotte, flash player is not going to work except through some hacking, not sure on the latter
[01:45] <michup> can someone help me?
[01:46] <preaction> mina_linux_Tux: make that: /lib/modules/`uname -r`
[01:46] <Xsylotte> then it's better to wait for flash player
[01:46] <Xsylotte> and logitech mx500 on edgy
[01:46] <francois> AlefBet: woah, now i have a dragan/ directory in my /
[01:46] <MrMakeveli> !someone
[01:46] <Xsylotte> ?
[01:46] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[01:46] <AlefBet> francois: Try "rmdir dragan && mkdir dragan".
[01:46] <mrak> How could I install version < 1.5.0.11 of firefox on dapper?
[01:46] <francois> AlefBet: :S
[01:46] <bruenig> Xsylotte, wait? it isn't coming
[01:46] <Pelo> michup,  what is the problem ?
[01:46] <Xsylotte> it won't come at all ?
[01:46] <Xsylotte> lol ?
[01:46] <michup> this is output lspci and dmesg of my laptop
[01:46] <mina_linux_Tux> preaction: i just posted all the logs that shows if it loads or not , and as before i did put it in the /lib/modules/'uname -a' and run depmod i got the NIC and the mouse not working after a restart
[01:46] <michup> its asus a3h5012
[01:46] <bruenig> Xsylotte, adobe seems less than uninterested in 64 bit flash
[01:46] <AlefBet> francois:  Sorry, I assumed you were in ~/Dev.
[01:46] <NessieLiberation> Xsylotte: i've heard of people doing it by installing the 32bit version of firefox
[01:47] <NessieLiberation> then installing the 32bit flash in the 32bit browser
[01:47] <bruenig> yeah hacking
[01:47] <Xsylotte> NessieLiberation, i've found some tutorials, but i couldn't make it work
[01:47] <Pelo> michup,  sorry I can't help with that ,  try in the forum if noone else volunteers
[01:47] <SlimeyPete> I think you can do it via a 32bit chroot or something
[01:47] <theonlyalt> thespore, omg... I think that worked... there's no signal strentgh but at least it says I'm connected!
[01:47] <AlefBet> francois: if you're not in ~/Dev, add "Dev/" before "dragan"
[01:47] <SlimeyPete> sounds like a lot of hassle, though ;)
[01:47] <michup> vga is very pure performance in games, i thought first it is because of implementation of libraries in cedega
[01:47] <NessieLiberation> but 32bit flash in 64bit browser doesnt work
[01:47] <NessieLiberation> ah ok
[01:47] <mina_linux_Tux> preaction:  on what must i run depmod
[01:47] <Xsylotte> heh :)
[01:47] <Xsylotte> maybe that is reason
[01:47] <preaction> mina_linux_Tux: actually, /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel (`uname -r` runs the command uname -r and gets the output, it should look something like "/lib/modules/2.6.17-11-generic/kernel")
[01:47] <bruenig> chroot, or 32 bit firefox or wine or nsplugwrapper can work I think
[01:47] <Xsylotte> well i have flash player in windos
[01:47] <bruenig> nspluginwrapper*
[01:47] <Xsylotte> wine doesn;'t support amd64
[01:47] <michup> but then i figure out that it might be other problem because i try native games
[01:47] <thespore> theonlyalt, well try it out and see.. someone just suggested i install the windows drivers with ndiswrapper
[01:47] <francois> AlefBet: i was.....but i guess at some point i typo'ed and made a directory in my / :S
[01:47] <bruenig> oh well if it did
[01:47] <michup> and 3d chess
[01:47] <mina_linux_Tux> preaction: i did ,
[01:47] <cab10886> whoever helped me with that envy script
[01:48] <francois> AlefBet: man i'm being dumb tonight
[01:48] <michup> and performance is still pure
[01:48] <cab10886> thankyou
[01:48] <michup> second is sound
[01:48] <AlefBet> francois: I've been there.
[01:48] <michup> it stops for a while in each second
[01:48] <michup> in games
[01:48] <preaction> mina_linux_Tux: so now depmod -b/lib/modules/`uname -r`
[01:48] <cab10886> vio, did you help me with that envy script?
[01:48] <AlefBet> francois: anyway, try "cd ~/Dev && rmdir dragan && mkdir dragan && ls -ld dragan"
[01:48] <theonlyalt> thespore are you running a Linksys by chance?
[01:48] <mina_linux_Tux> preaction: what i'm asking for is how to load the modules before the startx , and on what i must run depmod and what's the difference between /lib/modules/"uname -a" and /etc/modules
[01:49] <francois> AlefBet: done, things are perfect, i guess i screwed up somewhere, but its fixed now, thanks alot :D
[01:49] <roadfish> suppose I install multiple desktops (such as adding kubuntu-desktop and edubuntu-desktop) to an Ubuntu install. Is it easy to switch between the desktops? Maybe during the login prompt?
[01:49] <AlefBet> francois: NP
[01:49] <Pelo> roadfish,  that is exactly it,  you select your desktop during the login
[01:49] <NessieLiberation> roadfish: i did kubuntu and ubuntu, it worked fine - just a few thnigs
[01:49] <Xsylotte> bruenig, thx a lot
[01:49] <NessieLiberation> like the login screen was alwyas KDE
[01:49] <Xsylotte> nn everyone
[01:50] <MrMakeveli> 30.
[01:50] <Xsylotte> i hope that beta5 doesn't crash that much
[01:50] <preaction> mina_linux_Tux: it must be backticks, it must be ``, the directory should be /lib/modules/2.6.17-11-generic/kernel, you run "depmod `uname -r`", and /etc/modules is just a list of modules to load, you put the name of your module there
[01:50] <MarcN> NessieLiberation: you can change that with dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[01:50] <NessieLiberation> so the gnome administration => configure login window didnt work right
[01:50] <NessieLiberation> ah ok thanks MarcN
[01:50] <theonlyalt> roadfish, I've had Ubuntu, Kubuntu, AND Xubuntu installed without any problems.
[01:50] <NessieLiberation> i got rid of kde now :P
[01:50] <thespore> theonlyalt, my router is linksys but the adapter is belkin
[01:51] <preaction> mina_linux_Tux: the entry in /etc/modules should not include the ".ko"
[01:52] <mrak> any idea on how to install older firefox version on dapper?
[01:52] <mina_linux_Tux> preaction: as i said , i did put the put module tkusb.ko in /lib/modules/"uname -a" and i did run depmod on this directory and restarted got the mouse and NIC not working , and u told me before to undo what i did and come back and here i'm , don't know if you do remember it
[01:52] <Ltar> is it possible to change the default behavior of dragging a file between windows from "copy" to "cut/paste"
[01:52] <theonlyalt> thespore, ok, mines the opposite. Linksys card with a belkin router. I tried using a belkin 802.11g card, and I just got fed up with it.
[01:53] <Pelo> mark_,  remove it from synaptic and  install the olderverion from source you get on the site or where ever,  get a deb package if you can
[01:53] <jrib> Ltar: ctrl-drag will do that, I don't know of a way to make it default though
[01:53] <roadfish> theonlyalt: what's the attraction of Xubuntu? just uses fewer resources?
[01:53] <bruenig> Pelo, a deb might not be a good idea
[01:53] <theonlyalt> basically, I was having some problems with my system getting overloaded.. it's kind of a piece...
[01:54] <MarcN> theonlyalt: I have a belkin 802.11g card and it works great.  The key is to know the version of it.  They seem to have used 3 different chipsets.
[01:54] <Pelo> roadfish,  that is pretty much it,  altho  thunar as an interesting block renaming feature
[01:54] <preaction> mina_linux_Tux: and Now i'm saying that it should actually go in the "kernel" directory underneath /lib/modules/`uname -r` <- note that it's backticks and -r. my uname -r says 2.6.17-11-generic, so i would put the modules in /lib/modules/2.6.17-11-generic/kernel, and then run "depmod 2.6.17-11-generic" and then put the module file name (w/o the .ko) in /etc/modules
[01:54] <goldbond> hello, does anyone know how i can determine my computer's ip address on the network?
[01:54] <mrak> Pelo: where could I look for older packages?
[01:54] <NessieLiberation> ifconfig
[01:54] <MarcN> roadfish: yes, less resources.
[01:54] <goldbond> thanks
[01:54] <Pelo> goldbond,   ifconfig
[01:54] <blahman> ifconfig
[01:54] <calamari> what is the default dpi setting?  I've made some changes and lost my original settings
[01:54] <MarcN> goldbond: ip addr   or   ifconfig
[01:54] <Pelo> mrak,   firefox site archive ?
[01:54] <preaction> calamari: usually 72
[01:54] <calamari> preaction: thanks
[01:54] <goldbond> thanks a lot
[01:54] <Ltar> marcN- how does xubuntu save resources? the site mentions reliance on GTK+ ... is GTK more efficient than... the alternative?
[01:55] <MarcN> goldbond: or System->Admin->Network tools
[01:55] <mina_linux_Tux> preaction: then what after running depmod uname -r ?
[01:55] <rgd55>  booting into windows safe mode using F8 does not work after installing ubuntu
[01:55] <ericu> what is the difference between lo, eth1, and eth0?
[01:55] <MarcN> Ltar: xubuntu uses less background processes and things like xterm is much smaller than konsole/gnome-terminal.
[01:55] <MarcN> Ltar: less libraries typically too
[01:56] <roadfish> Pelo: what is "block renaming"?
[01:56] <cblack0> long-time linux user installing ubuntu/kubuntu for the first time. Using a laptop that already has a good install of suse I want to keep. I have a 5GB partition totally free that I have set aside for ubuntu. However, when I boot ubuntu installer (7.04 beta) and choose manual partitioning it oddly shows me an sda drive rather than the hda drive I am used to. This is an older laptop and definitely does NOT have a sata or scsi drive. In addition, I do not see
[01:56] <cblack0> my existing partitions in the graphical partitioner. Does anyone have any advice or pointers? I did not find anything about this in the faq
[01:56] <Pelo> roadfish,  renaming multiple files in one go
[01:56] <ericu> what is the difference between lo, eth1, and eth0?
[01:56] <madsporkmurderer> ericu, lo is loopback- your own computer eth0 and eth1 are 2 different ethernet devices- do you have 2 network cards?
[01:56] <NessieLiberation> lo is a your own computer
[01:56] <Pelo> roadfish,  you can add it to ubuntu , just install thunar
[01:56] <chili555> ericu lo is loopback, ignore it, eth1 is usually wireless and eth0 is wired
[01:57] <ericu> madsporkmurderer, yeah I have wirless and wired
[01:57] <preaction> mina_linux_Tux: after that, modprobe should work. or put the name of the module w/o the .ko into /etc/modules, and reboot
[01:57] <slop> is there a console command that will tell me how much RAM i have installed?
[01:57] <jrib> slop: free -m
[01:57] <slop> jrib: thx
[01:57] <blahman> what is the cycle/second ration for a sata cable
[01:57] <mina_linux_Tux> preaction: must i run depmod uname -r or depmod /lib/modules/"uname -r"
[01:57] <jrib> slop: or   cat /proc/meminfo   too
[01:57] <madsporkmurderer> ericu, in that case one will have the ip you are after, the other you can ignore(try both if unsure)
[01:58] <preaction> mina_linux_Tux: the first one, read man depmod
[01:58] <mina_linux_Tux> preaction: ok i'll try and come back
[01:58] <ericu> madsporkmurderer, ok thanks
[01:58] <madsporkmurderer> np
[01:58] <Solitarius> Is patrick- still here in any kind of shape or form?
[01:58] <slop> jrib: is there a similar command for processor information?
[01:59] <jrib> slop: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[01:59] <MarcN> slop:  /proc/cpuinfo
[01:59] <slop> jrib: thx again
[01:59] <MarcN> slop: /proc has a ton of interesting 'files'
[01:59] <roadfish> cblack0: something like that happened to me. I had an PATA drive in hdg (connected on an extra IDE card) and it has been renamed as sda in my (Feisty) Ubuntu install. This /dev/sda _is_ my old /dev/hdg. I don't know why this happens.
[01:59] <DualCortex> Hey guys, anyone know how to align (for example) the list of most resource hungry processes in conky? In the current conky setup I have they're not aligned. They keep moving depending on the length of the name of the process.
[02:00] <slop> MarcN: cool, i'll check them out :)
[02:00] <nikin> is there somewhere a list about wlancards with Wavelan Chip? i heard thoose are  working with all Linux distros
[02:00] <roadfish> Pelo: tnx for the info. and to everyone else too.
[02:00] <cblack0> roadfish, interesting. I am ok with that, I just want to be able to install on ONLY the hda3/sda3 I put aside for ubuntu
[02:00] <cblack0> and the partitioner is not showing my old partitions
[02:01] <DualCortex> Hey guys, anyone know how to align (for example) the list of most resource hungry processes in conky? In the current conky setup I have they're not aligned. They keep moving depending on the length of the name of the process.
[02:01] <MarcN> nikin:  a good wireless resource is: http://linux-wless.passys.nl/
[02:01] <roadfish> roadfish: try running "sudo cfdisk -P s /dev/sda". Does its partitions match hda on your SUSE? I'd like to know why Ubuntu does this renaming.
[02:01] <Pelo> DualCortex,  have you tried clicking the column header ?
[02:02] <BlankTim> Can anyone help me with a WINE install issue?
[02:02] <jrib> BlankTim: what is the issue?
[02:02] <DualCortex> column header?
[02:02] <DualCortex> Pelo: what column header?
[02:02] <roadfish> cblack0: oops, see my message to myself above
[02:02] <Pelo> BlankTim,   ask in #winehq
[02:02] <cblack0> k, hold
[02:02] <DualCortex> Pelo: conky barely shows text afaik
[02:02] <NessieLiberation> gnome
[02:02] <Pelo> DualCortex,  sorry, I thought you had columns with names at the top that you could try clicking on
[02:02] <BlankTim> Not entirely sure, but when I try to run wincfg I get exec: 29: /usr/bin/wine: not found
[02:02] <NessieLiberation> sorry - wrong channel

[02:03] <Ollie|> i did apt-get install wu-ftpd I no longer want this software what is the command to remove/uninstall it?
[02:03] <Pelo> DualCortex,  man conky
[02:03] <ahron> i need help with running the edgy installer on a system that has a tv connected to its nvidia card with s-video and i have no monitor for it. when i boot up i see the ubuntu start up screen but when X starts the tv goes blank, is their any way around this so that i can run the installer from the live cd on my tv, or a way to remotely install from my laptop? thanks for any help
[02:03] <BlankTim> when
[02:03] <BlankTim> I ls that /usr/bin directory wine is there
[02:03] <jrib> Ollie|: sudo aptitude purge wu-ftpd
[02:03] <jrib> !apt > Ollie|    (Ollie|, see the private message from ubotu)
[02:03] <NessieLiberation> what's the difference between purge and remove?
[02:04] <BlankTim> I'm running an AMD64 processor, so I had to force wine to install, I'm wondering if it might be related
[02:04] <MarcN> NessieLiberation: purge removes config files
[02:04] <Pelo> NessieLiberation,  purge will also remove settings folder
[02:04] <roadfish> !apt > roadfish
[02:04] <NessieLiberation> oki
[02:04] <cblack0> interesting, I get "Bad primary partition 3: partition ends after end-of-disk"
[02:05] <eimajenthat> Howdy everyone.  I'm having an issue with vCards.  I just got my wife to move from the Mac to Ubuntu Feisty.  Well, it's going alright for the most part.  But she had a really big contact database in Apple's Address Book.  She exported it to vCards, but Evolution won't let me import them.  I found a program called Rubrica that imports them and reads them, but none have addresses, just names and sometimes phone numbers.  I know at
[02:05] <eimajenthat> least 80% had mailing addresses.  Does Apple do something weird with vCards?
[02:05] <jrib> BlankTim: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WineForAMD64
[02:05] <tjs> I'm not really sure what to make of this.. run dpkg -l | grep popularity-contest on your ubuntu machines.. how many people knew they were running something that was sending system info back to ubuntu about every package they installed ?
[02:05] <ahron> does anyone know how to get the live install cd to use s-video when it starts X?
[02:05] <cyrillic> does anyone know how i can install a 32 bit firefox so it has flash player on 64 bit ubuntu?
[02:05] <shooters> I can't upgrade to feisty.  It says I need at least 123M of free disc space on /var/cache/apt/archives, and I have over 1G free on /
[02:05] <cyrillic> (as in i want a precompiled 32 bit binary that is configured for flash... similar to how gentoo does it)
[02:05] <Pelo> tjs,   there is a switch in the windows where you enables your repos that you can check uncheck for that
[02:06] <jrib> !flash > cyrillic    (cyrillic, see the private message from ubotu)
[02:06] <BlankTim> Ok I'll give that a try, thanks!  :)
[02:06] <jrib> cyrillic: the way I do it, I use nspluginwrapper and run 32bit flash in my 64bit browser, but the bot will give you instructions for what you asked
[02:06] <tjs> Pelo: I don't run X
[02:06] <sizzam> cyrillic: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_install_Firefox32_in_AMD64
[02:06] <cblack0> so apparently my partition table is a bit odd...
[02:06] <roadfish> cblack0: beats me what's happening. I'm having a bit of trouble with one of my eSATA drives but this hdg-renamed-as-sda works for me.
[02:07] <tjs> Pelo: is it off by default?
[02:07] <cyrillic> darn it, i'm using sun right now and i can't figure out how to switch to a new window because alt+5 doesn't work.  i'm using irssi
[02:07] <Pelo> tjs,  well,  in anycase, the feature is not hidden,   it's just to let canonical know what packages ppl are installing ,  stats
[02:07] <Ollie|> jrib, thanks man
[02:07] <mina_linux_Tux> preaction: are you there
[02:07] <Pelo> tjs, I don'T remember,  I know I have it on but that is all

[02:07] <SlicerDicer-> anybody familar with nvidia.ko being liquidated from /lib/modules/2.6.*/volatile/?
[02:07] <SlicerDicer-> every reboot it gets removed for some unknown reason
[02:08] <PriceChild> SlicerDicer-, notice the path "volatile"
[02:08] <tjs> Pelo: yeh I don't really care about it, seems like a good idea to me.. but my employers? If I said 'every time we install software on one of these VMs ubuntu is informed' the pointy-headed powers that be might decide I should switch to redhat or something ;)
[02:08] <SlicerDicer-> PriceChild: why is it looking there then?
[02:08] <SlicerDicer-> PriceChild: how do I get it to look elsewhere?
[02:08] <andre> hi folks
[02:08] <mina_linux_Tux> ppl depmod uname -r and depmod "uname -r", returns can't read module no such a module name , is it the right way to use depmod ????
[02:08] <PriceChild> SlicerDicer-, because that's where it should look? That's where the thing is put.
[02:09] <cblack0> no critical data on here, altho I'd prefer not to lose my known-good suse install. I may try just deleting that partition w/ fdisk and recreting it
[02:09] <Pelo> tjs,   I'm sure you can remove it , or disable it,  check for info in the forum
[02:09] <SlicerDicer-> PriceChild: /lib/modules/2.6.17-10-386/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko
[02:09] <SlicerDicer-> thats where it shoves it
[02:09] <SlicerDicer-> makes no sense what so ever..
[02:09] <PriceChild> SlicerDicer-, and it should be copied into volatile to be used
[02:09] <SlicerDicer-> PriceChild: well.... this is wonderful
[02:09] <mina_linux_Tux> may anyone answer me
[02:09] <thrasher> is there a svn for yahoo messenger?
[02:10] <PriceChild> SlicerDicer-, what have you broken?
[02:10] <SlicerDicer-> PriceChild: my head I guess...
[02:10] <SlicerDicer-> its been doing this for quite a while
[02:10] <Pelo> tjs,  man popularity-contest
[02:10] <tjs> Pelo: yeh I'm sure I can, just my point is its not really the kind of thing that some people want on by default.. for -some- people discovering that might be enough to find another distro.. can you imagine the military using ubuntu with something like that?
[02:10] <PriceChild> mina_linux_Tux, afaik " and ' don't work, you need `
[02:10] <tjs> Pelo: *nods*
[02:10] <cyrillic> so gnash is the answer for flash on 64 bit ubuntu?

[02:13] <cyrillic> ubuntu's help on flash for 64 bit is a bit confusing.  will gnash actually work well?
[02:13] <jrib> andre: oh I see.  If you pastebin any errors you get when you try to run it from a terminal, someone may be able to help
[02:13] <mina_linux_Tux> PriceChild: i'm really got tired from it , i'm on this channel for 4 days without any way to get it work on ubuntu 6.10
[02:13] <jrib> cyrillic: no, not really
[02:13] <clever[rev] > Epic720Admin: having an input/output error on a folder is probly a bad sector on the harddrive
[02:13] <cyrillic> what is the answer, then?
[02:13] <jrib> cyrillic: I use nspluginwrapper to run 32bit flash in my browser
[02:13] <Epic720Admin> clever[rev] : How do I fix it?
[02:14] <cyrillic> so if i just install nspluginwrapper with apt, it'll configure itself?
[02:14] <clever[rev] > Epic720Admin: bit complex
[02:14] <jrib> cyrillic: it isn't in apt
[02:14] <foug> guys, my sound has constant static, i never had this problem when using windows. Any ideas or suggestions?
[02:14] <mina_linux_Tux> PriceChild: any comment ...?
[02:14] <cyrillic> i'm noticing =/
[02:14] <pkgraves> Guys, can RSYNC back-up a file that is currently open/in-use?
[02:14] <whtet> i am building a ssh replacement box, the old one store all the info in /etc/passwd without using /etc/shadow how can I work on it?
[02:14] <Epic720Admin> clever[rev] : it is on a mounted NTFS raid setup, using ntfs-3g
[02:14] <cyrillic> is there any solution that's in apt?
[02:14] <cyrillic> such as a 32 bit binary?
[02:15] <PriceChild> mina_linux_Tux, reading, don't expect much
[02:15] <jrib> cyrillic: installing a 32bit firefox probably, I don't know though, since I never did that
[02:15] <clever[rev] > Epic720Admin: ahhh umount and fsck it using -c
[02:15] <pkgraves> Can Someone please answer my Rsync question?
[02:15] <cyrillic> how would i tell apt to use 32 bit instead of 64 bit, though?
[02:15] <Pelo> tjs from what I am reading on the ubuntu site  it leads me to beleive that it is not enable by default,
[02:15] <clever[rev] > Epic720Admin: was thinking it was your rootfs which is more work
[02:15] <snowpunk98> Good PDF printer, can anyone recommend one?
[02:15] <andre> jrid:  it simply restarts the X server.
[02:15] <PriceChild> mina_linux_Tux, don't the instructions as printed work?
[02:16] <jrib> cyrillic: the restricted formats page links to some instructions
[02:16] <Ollie|> how can I change the root directory of apache from /var/www to /home/username/www/ ?
[02:16] <Epic720Admin> no, just an extended data raid
[02:16] <clever[rev] > Epic720Admin: running a winblows scandisk may do better
[02:16] <clever[rev] > !ask
[02:16] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[02:16] <cyrillic> you mean where it talks about a 32-bit chroot environment?
[02:16] <jrib> cyrillic: yeah
[02:16] <mina_linux_Tux> PriceChild: never, as there's no a /etc/rc.d/rc.local to insert the insmod instruction in it before the startx
[02:16] <Epic720Admin> clever[rev] : could I do that with an install disk.... I don't have winblows on here
[02:17] <clever[rev] > Epic720Admin: ahhh try fsck -c on it first then
[02:17] <clever[rev] > Epic720Admin: not shure if fsck can handle ntfs yet though
[02:17] <HOT> hey folks, if i have a dual cpu say a turion x2 do i have to compile a SMP kernel or will fiesty unstall by default and if so how can i tell?
[02:17] <mina_linux_Tux> PriceChild: someone on this # , asked me to put the tkusb.ko in /lib/modules/'uname -r'
[02:17] <Epic720Admin> clever[rev] : I can do that from here and be fine? Should I stop all services that might read from it.... like my web server>?
[02:17] <matkam> I have a ppc ubuntu server box. How can I run e2fsck+badblocks on the root partition?
[02:18] <theonlyalt> foug: try searching the forums with the name of your sound card. and check back if you can't find anything.
[02:18] <matkam> the server cd doesnt seem to have fsck or badblocks
[02:18] <Pelo> HOT,   feisty questions should be directed to  #ubuntu+1
[02:18] <foug> theonlyalt: rgr thanks
[02:18] <mina_linux_Tux> PriceChild: but don't know what do after that , what's regarding the insmod, or depmod
[02:18] <chili555> HOT it willSMP by default and you tell by uname -a
[02:18] <clever[rev] > Epic720Admin: youll need to stop all access to it before you can umount
[02:18] <Epic720Admin> ok
[02:18] <Epic720Admin> I will try that, thanks

[02:20] <mon_away> fffffft
[02:20] <PriceChild> mina_linux_Tux, I'm thinking... I'm really not the best guy to be talking about this. If I were you I would stick to instructions as close as possible
[02:21] <HOT> are bogomips actually a valid benchmark for testing?
[02:21] <PriceChild> mina_linux_Tux, we just need to figure out where the insmod needs to go instead
[02:21] <casa> hi
[02:22] <chutiya> hi aituhc
[02:22] <chili555> HOT i understand thet are stimates, hence the similarity to 'bogus'

[02:22] <matkam> since i just have an ubuntu server cd, do i have to download ubuntu client to be able to run badblocks on my root partition?
[02:22] <HOT> allright thanks, never played with these turion cpus before, trying to work out what they have under the hood

[02:25] <Pelo> camer0ff,  the way this channel works is : you state your problem and if someone can help they will try to
[02:26] <aituhc> yes what is the actual problem?
[02:26] <HOT> pkgraves, im not totally sure about this but as rsync is a bit level copier it has no concept of a "locked" file
[02:26] <camer0ff> pelo, yeah... was hoping though :)
[02:26] <PriceChild> mina_linux_Tux, I'm sorry my googling isn't turning anything up for me either :(
[02:26] <Pelo> camer0ff,  bare in mind that everyone here are user/volunteers ,  and the crowd changes during the day, different skills become available at different times
[02:27] <kev2> Fedora vs ubuntu? plz give details in terms of opinion
[02:27] <zero88> anybody know of RubyGem?
[02:27] <Pelo> kev2,  this is a ubuntu channel , what do you think the opinion is going to be ?
[02:27] <vio> kev2: try #ubuntu-offtopic ubuntu rules ;)
[02:27] <NessieLiberation> fedora FTW

[02:27] <zPacKRat> I would go with Fedora kev2
[02:27] <zues^63> hey guys i am trying to open an ebook in lit format what program can i use to open it or convert it
[02:28] <kev2> pelo- for once i hope the opinion is unbiased
[02:28] <HOT> well dont want to start a flame but i found fedoras device support badly lacking...
[02:28] <MoneymoneymOOOON> Ubuntu question, Can I get 6.10 now and upgrade to 7 without getting another iso?
[02:28] <GaiaX11> kev2: ubunut = apt-get; Fedora = rpm. You choose what suites you better
[02:28] <MoneymoneymOOOON> over network or something
[02:28] <NessieLiberation> yes, but it'll use a lot of network
[02:28] <vio> MoneymoneymOOOON:  yes
[02:28] <Pelo> zues^63,  search for your format in synaptic,  I am sure you'll get a load of packages listed, just read the description to know wich one you need
[02:29] <Pelo> MoneymoneymOOOON,  yes
[02:29] <kev2> gaiax11- does that only means that one download stuff differently than others.
[02:29] <theonlyalt> MoneymoneymOOOON: once the update is released it'll show up in the update manager.
[02:29] <MoneymoneymOOOON> I have about 40gb of bandwidth a month and I get stuff at 600 kbs, so it shouldn't be painful
[02:29] <zues^63> ty pelo
[02:29] <MoneymoneymOOOON> alright thanks : )
[02:29] <MoneymoneymOOOON> I'll get 6.10 now and start settling in
[02:29] <zPacKRat> kev2, I have had many broken packages with Fedora, wont touch it anymore.
[02:29] <vio> MoneymoneymOOOON: ubuntu (feisty fawn) 7.04 is really stable though, so i got 6.10 first then switched to 7.04 pretty quick
[02:29] <zPacKRat> if you want RPM based then maybe CentOS is a better choice
[02:29] <NessieLiberation> when i installed i only had a 5.10 disk handy, and no blank CDs
[02:29] <HOT> MoneymoneymOOOON; logically it cannot be more than 740MB download, thats the size of fiesty on CD
[02:29] <NessieLiberation> so i decided to do 2 network upgrades in about 12 hours
[02:30] <GaiaX11> kev2: No. It means the way of downloading and installing.
[02:30] <MoneymoneymOOOON> I guess this should be off topic, but should I head out for kubuntu or ubuntu?  I want performance and I like kopete, but I like everything else gnome...
[02:30] <kev2> should i go with ubuntu? plz don't be biased b'cuz of the channel
[02:30] <nikin> for the lit format: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chick_lit what you think?
[02:30] <mzuverink> what recommendations for an .avi to dvd program?  Currently trying mandvd, but its terribly slow.
[02:30] <MarcN> kev2: yes.
[02:30] <NessieLiberation> the last 2 upgrades were about 5-700MB
[02:30] <vio> kev2:  #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:30] <cyrillic> does this bootstrap method of getting flash and firefox to work on 64 bit ubuntu work for 64 bit intel?
[02:30] <kev2> MarcN- okay
[02:30] <NessieLiberation> i tried Kubuntu, expecting to prefer it
[02:30] <zPacKRat> kev2, Ubuntu is not as much a "development" platform as Fedora is so it should be more stable
[02:31] <NessieLiberation> but didnt
[02:31] <chili555> MoneymoneymOOOON most kde apps will run in gnome, I esp love K3b
[02:31] <MarcN> kev2:  you didn't give any requirements, so ubuntu is a good of a distro as any to use.
[02:31] <Jump86> will easytag 2.0 be in feisty apt get?
[02:31] <NessieLiberation> i use amarok and konversation
[02:31] <HOT> again just my opinion but in fiesty form kubuntu has some really bad issues, beryl is a nightmare to get going imo, i would give it a few more weeks to mature
[02:31] <bruenig> !info easytag feisty
[02:31] <ubotu> easytag: viewing, editing and writing ID3 tags. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0-0ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 788 kB, installed size 2552 kB
[02:31] <PriceChild> !offtopic
[02:31] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[02:31] <Jump86> i currently cant install easytag 2.0 in edgy.. says i dont have a high enough version of glib
[02:31] <snowpunk98> I need to print a webpage to a PDF which application should I use?
[02:31] <jrib> Jump86: it is
[02:31] <kev2> zpackrat- is there any possible way to make ubuntu look like Mac os x or Vista with all the features?
[02:31] <bruenig> Jump86, yes it will
[02:31] <vio> HOT: beryl is unstable try compiz ;)
[02:32] <theonlyalt> kev2:  dual boot and see for yourself, or get the live cd. in the mean tim #ubuntu-offtopic. they'll be happy to help.
[02:32] <Jump86> i need 2.0 of easytag to remove ape tags.. without that it messed up in rhytmbox
[02:32] <Jump86> i guess ill wait for feisty, thanks
[02:32] <zPacKRat> Mac OS close, Vista? why would you do that It's linux
[02:32] <pygo|lappy> how about getting VLC working through one of the package managers? It can't be found currently
[02:32] <NessieLiberation> vista is definately possible
[02:32] <pygo|lappy> Is it broken?
[02:32] <zPacKRat> there is a screenshots thread at justlinux.com
[02:32] <HOT> vio: under vanilla fiesty beryl is proving very stable on the 2.01 release, thats just my experience though, under kubuntu it was locking all the time and debug showed nothing usefull, so i went back to gnome
[02:32] <nikin> Jump: installing from source is not an option?
[02:33] <GaiaX11> kev2: Go for ubuntu. When I started with linux I did in Red Hat and then Fedora after that I came to Debian and Ubuntu IMO they are the best at least for me
[02:33] <NessieLiberation> there are many themes for beryl which look very similar
[02:33] <jrib> pygo|lappy: it is in universe
[02:33] <bruenig> sh: lappy: not found

[02:33] <jrib> !universe > pygo|lappy    (pygo|lappy, see the private message from ubotu)
[02:33] <bruenig> hmmm
[02:33] <pygo|lappy> jrib I'll have a look
[02:33] <HOT> pygo: you need to enable universe than sudo apt-get install vlc
[02:33] <thespore> can someone help me get my usb wireless adapter to work? it connects to the network but i have no signal strength and no net access
[02:33] <bruenig> pygo, to add all the extra official repositories and install vlc, make sure synaptic, update-manager, or any other package managers are closed, open a terminal (applications>accessories>terminal) and copy and paste the following all at once:
[02:33] <bruenig> sudo sed -e 's/# deb/deb/g' -e 's/universe$/universe multiverse/g' -i.backup /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install vlc
[02:33] <NessieLiberation> i know more people switching from Suse/fedora to ubuntu than the other way around
[02:33] <pygo|lappy> thanks all. :)
[02:34] <kev2> zpakrat- it's actually my brothers computer and he wanted to wate money on vista i told hime i will install vista-like operating system -except it is more secure than Crappy vista
[02:34] <Jump86> when i control left click it makes little squares on the screen, anyone know what that is for?
[02:34] <darx> where can i find in depth documentation about ubuntu?
[02:34] <Pelo> NessieLiberation,  ppl are abandoning the suse /opensuse ship because of the MS deal,  don't know about Fedora
[02:34] <kev2> chutiya- why such a name?
[02:34] <MarcN> Jump86: selecting stuff on the desktop.
[02:34] <chili555> thespore can u ping router? google?
[02:34] <NessieLiberation> Pelo: the person i know who switched did so irrespectively of the MS deal

[02:35] <zPacKRat> what does he need to do, if he is a gamer then stick with XP, vista = bloatware
[02:35] <jk_> it's not a painless upgrade, just so ya know
[02:35] <Jump86> MarcN, not that, but spinning squares.. its an animation that plays.. might be something w/ beryl
[02:35] <GaiaX11> kev2: Go for ubuntu. When I started with linux I did in Red Hat and then Fedora after that I came to Debian and Ubuntu IMO they are the best at least for me
[02:35] <Solitarius> NessieLiberation: remembers that guy patrick- with his odd question?  The "(arg:1)" thing he was talking about was due to the readline capabilities of his bash shell!  Thanks to redendos from #bash, I've just learned it.

[02:40] <andre> Hey guys, I just updated the most recent updates, and it asked me to reboot.  upon rebooting one of my software stopped working, it restarts X server to be more precise.  can anyone help?
[02:40] <MarcN> andre what software?
[02:40] <jk_> General: well, your first step is finding the driver for your wireless adaptor that's for certain
[02:41] <zero88> marcn what about the client?
[02:41] <francois> jrib: theres a bunch of weird query errors from pastebin.com....got another pastebin i can use ?
[02:41] <andre> MarcN: ioquake3, or both urban terror and world of padman to be more precise.
[02:41] <Generalmozamota> jk, i've been trying to look for one for about a week, am I retarded or something?
[02:41] <jrib> francois: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[02:41] <MarcN> zero88: then install mysql-client and you'l get the command line interface.
[02:41] <thespore> i can't get my wireless connection to work.. i'm using a belkin 802.11g usb adapter .. ifconfig shows wlan0, but if i type ifup wlan0 it says no such device.. if i do ifup ath0 it spits a bunch of errors
[02:41] <zero88> marcn ok im downloading both
[02:41] <MarcN> andre: games? piffle.
[02:42] <andre> MarcN:  is ubuntu not trying to capture the desktop market?
[02:42] <chili555> thespore what does iwconfig show?
[02:42] <MarcN> andre: I don't play PC games.  Never have.
[02:42] <francois> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15146/
[02:43] <thespore> chili555, shows the essid, the AP's mac address.. everything looks fine there
[02:43] <jrib> francois: "#include" not "#includ" :)
[02:43] <zilly6_> francois you need to type include
[02:43] <snowpunk98> Can someone tell me an easy way to print to a PDF file like a program I can get through apt-get?
[02:43] <Benny_132> anybody here install the Feisty beta on a mac book pro
[02:43] <zilly6_> snowpunk98 just click print to file
[02:43] <chili555> thespore as wlan0?
[02:43] <HOT> snowpunk98: Openoffice exports pdf
[02:43] <thespore> chili555, yes
[02:43] <kev2> chutiya: what are u been up to?
[02:43] <andre> MarcN:  it'd still be nice to find out why an update killed my ability to run my software
[02:43] <jrib> francois: there is also another bug in your program, it's "hello world", not "hwllo world"
[02:43] <jk_> General: googling doesn't look promising .. "The only problem was wireless: there aren't any linux drivers for the Dell 1450 miniPCI card (that I can find anyway). D'oh!"
[02:44] <zilly6_> snowpunk98 that produces a ps, then do ps2pdf filename
[02:44] <chili555> thespore and sudo dhclient wlan0 does what?
[02:44] <thespore> chili555, oh wait.. it says Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 .. is that normal?
[02:44] <MarcoPoti> sera
[02:44] <gils> what is the best way to connect remotely from windows using SSH? putty?
[02:44] <Generalmozamota> Yeah, so I have no idea what to do jk_
[02:44] <MarcN> andre: Are they closed source games?  Hard to tell, but I'd guess it is related to use of OpenGL.  That seems to be the most fragile part of X
[02:44] <duelboot> jk_, linuxant's driverloader may be able to do it, but it's not free
[02:44] <NessieLiberation> gils: easiest... putty
[02:44] <thornomad> Hello everyone, I had a quick question: if I create a separate partition for /home ... and then I reinstall ubuntu (not formatting the /home partition) but create the same username I had previously on the re-install ... will ubuntu erase my home folder ?  Or will it leave it alone and things will be as they were (sort of) before the reinstall ?
[02:44] <NessieLiberation> but not really the best
[02:44] <francois> jrib: ok, lol so i fixed that, i still get this error : hello.c: In function main:
[02:44] <chili555> thespore yes until it connects
[02:44] <francois> hello.c:5: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function exit
[02:44] <mindstate> im having some trouble install llibsdl1.2-dev .. i get this error when trying to apt-get The following packages have unmet dependencies:  libsdl1.2-dev: Depends: libglu1-mesa-dev but it is not going to be installed or libglu-dev, could someone please help me, im not sure how to fix this issue
[02:45] <HOT> gils: putty works great for me, supports X forwarding as well, that or use VNC if you need GUI
[02:45] <gils> ok, i want a command line non GUI accesss to ssh server from windows
[02:45] <thespore> chili555, tries the DHCPDISCOVER and then fails
[02:45] <andre> MarcN:  No quake 3 engine is GPL,   Perhaps a reinstallation of my graphics drivers are in order?
[02:45] <MarcN> gils: install cygwin
[02:45] <thespore> chili555, No DHCPOFFERS received
[02:45] <snowpunk98> Thanks ill check that out in a minute
[02:45] <zilly6_> thornomad you'll need to mount that old home folder
[02:45] <jk_> General: http://www.google.com/search?q=ndiswrapper+dell+1450+linux ?
[02:45] <jrib> francois: exit is in stdlib.h
[02:45] <HOT> gils: putty is the answer, awesome little stand alone app, runs off a usb drive if needed
[02:45] <rabri> chutiya are you there
[02:45] <chili555> thespore r u sure ap MAC and essid r correct? did u iwlist wlan0 scan?
[02:46] <zilly6_> thornomad figure out what partition it's on, and put it in fstab
[02:46] <adsims2001> I agree, no need to install all of cygwin if all you need is ssh
[02:46] <chutiya> yeah rabri
[02:46] <thespore> chili555, DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7
[02:46] <thornomad>  zilly6_, okay ... but if I specify during install to mount /home in the old /home partition and I don't tell it to format it ... then, will everything remain ?
[02:46] <jrib> francois: for the record all my hello worlds just do return 0; instead of exiting.  But ##c is probably a better place to go from here
[02:46] <gils> ok putty it is....thanks all
[02:46] <chili555> the spore OK
[02:46] <veb> hey, I have a problem, for some reason on my box I can't view a particular website, I can ping it fine, and my friend on the same ISP and DNS servers, it works for him too, but doesn't for me
[02:46] <snowpunk98> Thanks that worked
[02:46] <dibblego> !xinerama
[02:46] <ubotu> xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead
[02:46] <veb> also, on my windows box, it doesn't either? :s
[02:46] <francois> jrib: you are god, and if you ever need someone beaten up please let me know, lol :)
[02:46] <zilly6_> thornomad can you spedify a home folder during install?
[02:46] <adsims2001> try accessing it directly through it's server's IP address
[02:46] <zilly6_> francois what about me?
[02:46] <MarcN> gils: putty is a gui, cygwin is a bunch of unix apps ported to windows so you get ssh, rsync, etc all the command line stuff you need.  Also X11 is available.  Makes Windows almost comfortable.
[02:46] <thespore> chili555, yeah scan shows signal level=(-138dBm) Noise level=(-160dBm)
[02:46] <adsims2001> you can find it with dns tools
[02:47] <francois> zilly6_: your good too, lol, just not as fast, hahaha
[02:47] <adsims2001> or tracert
[02:47] <adsims2001> i think
[02:47] <veb> i did
[02:47] <thornomad> zilly6_, okay, I could do that too.  thanks.  I just didn't know if it would create a new/second /home/thornomad folder for me automatically instead of keeping my old one and using that.  i think i can specify where to mount /home during install ... not the /home/username portion though.
[02:47] <jk_> veb: try a different DNS server
[02:47] <rabri> anybody have any idea regarding sdk problems in ubuntu (related to stellarium)
[02:47] <veb> its not DNS servers
[02:47] <veb> it's somehow my network
[02:47] <jrib> francois: haha ok :)  If you install 'manpages-dev', you'll get man pages for a lot of C functions.  For example, you could have done 'man 3 exit'
[02:47] <veb> i know 3-4 other people using same DNS and it works
[02:47] <chili555> thespore r the essid and MAC address the exact same as iwconfig?
[02:47] <jk_> ok well traceroute it, netstat it and see where the issue is
[02:47] <gils> MarcN: great thats what i was wondering
[02:47] <francois> jrib: whats the 3 ?
[02:47] <Generalmozamota> I don't think i'll ever get this stupid thing working
[02:47] <veb> ok jk
[02:47] <zilly6_> thornomad, personally i would just do the install, and modify fstab after the install is complete
[02:47] <gils> cygwin, will look for it now
[02:48] <HOT> veb: are you getting anything at all, like a 404 or does it just "hang" ?
[02:48] <gils> thanks a bunch
[02:48] <jk_> General: if there's no (free) driver for it then ... well ..
[02:48] <veb> I get a hang
[02:48] <MarcN> gils: i really recommend cywgin if you have to use windows.  sshd is also available so you can ssh to windows.
[02:48] <thespore> chili555, uhmm no...
[02:48] <jk_> General: at some point, we have drivers because folks like you with missing drivers wrote them
[02:48] <gils> right
[02:48] <zilly6_> jk_ how do you write a driver?
[02:48] <chutiya> hey, can anyone tell me how can I hack widows frrom ubuntu?
[02:48] <thornomad> zilly6_, okay, then i would have to go ahead and reassign the home folder using usermod ?  and then, I suppose remove the /home folder that was created by default with the installation ?  yea, could try that. thanks
[02:48] <Generalmozamota> jk_ do you have any suggestions for other cheap wireless devices that are actually supported?
[02:48] <HOT> gils: i always check with lynx before i go on a mad diagnosis just to see if its anything silly "lynx www.example.com" from the command line
[02:49] <HOT> you might have to install lynx
[02:49] <kristjans> hello. does
[02:49] <jk_> zilly6: you look at the linux source code and start there
[02:49] <zilly6_> thornomad, no need for usermod
[02:49] <gils> right
[02:49] <veb> HOT, i get a hang
[02:49] <zilly6_> thornomad no need for removal either, you need
[02:49] <HOT> with lynx?
[02:49] <kristjans> does anyone know a reason for why the gnome's window borders got huge after restart?
[02:49] <chili555> thespore iwconfig wlan0 ap <MAC address> then iwconfig wlan0 essid <essid> then sudo dhclient wlan0
[02:49] <gils> i am looking at cygwin.....looks great
[02:49] <veb> shit, sorry, i
[02:49] <veb> i have it
[02:49] <gils> will get that going
[02:49] <veb> sec
[02:49] <jk_> General: start with your hardware and google and work backwards
[02:49] <thornomad> zilly6_ ... oh, I guess just reassign where it mounts ?
[02:49] <chutiya> hey, can anyone tell me how can I hack widows frrom ubuntu?
[02:49] <gils> thanks boys/girls
[02:49] <gils> much appreciated
[02:49] <gils> good night
[02:49] <NessieLiberation> gils: cygwin is a nuisance sometimes
[02:49] <zilly6_> thornomad that's all you need pretty much
[02:49] <thespore> chili555, put in the mac address of the router?
[02:49] <chutiya> gils... not girl here
[02:50] <jk_> chutiya: try "man mount"
[02:50] <NessieLiberation> it ran/run it a lot
[02:50] <adsims2001> Hey all, i'm running eft right now and I can't get my surround sound to work. I have an onboard Realtek ALC655. I already tried to compile the alsa drivers from Realtek's site, but that just screwed up the partially working drivers that came with Eft. Long story short, I just want to try Feisty and see if that works better. Has anyone had good experiences with surround in Feisty's beta?
[02:50] <NessieLiberation> but it does strange things a lot
[02:50] <NessieLiberation> and is very hefty
[02:50] <chutiya> man mount... what does it mount on?
[02:50] <chili555> thespore u dont have to give us 23 lines, just 'connected' or 'timed out'
[02:50] <Generalmozamota> i've been googling for far too long to solve this problem by that simple fix, what I need to do is just get a new wireless receiver
[02:50] <chili555> thespore yessir
[02:50] <gils> Nessie: thanks of the heads up
[02:50] <jk_> you'd want to mount win drive
[02:50] <gils> later
[02:50] <thespore> chili555, okay right back
[02:50] <NessieLiberation> for ssh, i prefer putty
[02:50] <HOT> adsims2001: i thinl thats exactly what im using, let me check...
[02:50] <jk_> General: if it's not supported that might be your best bet
[02:50] <chutiya> but... i want to *hack* a remote windows machine...
[02:50] <thornomad> zilly6_, okay thanks. appreciate it.  i will give it a shot.  take care.
[02:51] <Generalmozamota> Do you have any suggestions jk?
[02:51] <adsims2001> Thanks, HOT.
[02:51] <zilly6_> thornamod you too
[02:51] <jk_> chutiya: define "hack"
[02:51] <NessieLiberation> i keep it running on 1 machine, as it's effectively a win^nix server
[02:51] <jk_> General: you on a laptop?
[02:51] <Generalmozamota> desktop
[02:51] <chutiya> to *hack inside*.....
[02:51] <voidmage> How can I find out what process is locking a file?
[02:51] <HOT> adsims2001: my mixer is Realtek ACL883 (OSS Mixer) , not exactly what you have but its working fine for me
[02:51] <chutiya> i am a newbiw, plz help
[02:51] <jk_> General: not really.  you just need a supported card
[02:51] <matkam> how can i run fsck -c on my root partition?
[02:51] <voidmage> debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable
[02:51] <jk_> chutiya: try google
[02:51] <jrib> voidmage: fuser or lsof maybe
[02:51] <chutiya> jk_: supported card?
[02:51] <veb> HOT, "Making HTTP connection...
[02:51] <adsims2001> i'll look around for some other drivers for general realtek stuff then
[02:51] <veb> hang
[02:52] <coach> hi@all
[02:52] <chutiya> google isn't helpful i tried, all high-level....
[02:52] <coach> i've got a problem with wine@amd64
[02:52] <GaiaX11> chutiya: How to "hack outside" then? :-)
[02:52] <jk_> chutiya: seriously, read up on the "mount" command
[02:52] <coach> i installed it with --force-architecture
[02:52] <jk_> go read the man page on "mount"
[02:52] <coach> but he sais no such file or dir
[02:52] <HOT> veb: can you ping it?
[02:52] <veb> im doing a tracert now
[02:52] <zilly6_> is feisty gonna have good smp support?
[02:52] <chutiya> ok... here i read... should i read it out loud?
[02:53] <jrib> coach: have you seen https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WineForAMD64 ?
[02:53] <veb> there seems to be *** at hop 1
[02:53] <veb> then * * * after hop 14
[02:53] <zero88> how do you create users and passwords for Mysql?
[02:53] <chutiya> sorry jk_: No manual entry for mount
[02:53] <Parisi> Hello
[02:53] <HOT> zilly6_: funny you should ask, i just installed on a turion x2 and its picked up a SMP kernel for me and everything seems fine
[02:53] <voidmage> jrib: thanks, that worked
[02:53] <jk_> General: good luck.  unsupported hardware is frustrating, but hardware only gets supported because people support it
[02:53] <voidmage> had to kill -9 that
[02:53] <voidmage> but there we go
[02:53] <rabri> hi chutiya
[02:53] <chutiya> hi rabri
[02:54] <veb> i thought it was a ubuntu dns thing, howerver, it's exactly the same on my windows laptop ;s
[02:54] <rabri> I think mount is quite difficult for newbies
[02:54] <chutiya> jk_: No manual entry for mount
[02:54] <rabri> can you try something which is basic
[02:54] <chutiya> jk_: ????
[02:54] <zilly6_> HOT nice, i'm getting the X2 in a new dell soon
[02:54] <chutiya> what kinda basic....
[02:54] <chutiya> ?????
[02:54] <jk_> chutiya: google --> http://www.techonthenet.com/linux/mount.php
[02:54] <rabri> like you can start reading from some good book
[02:54] <ayLaNuR> selam
[02:54] <thespore> chili555, didn't work
[02:55] <zilly6_> HOT this will be my first dual core and 64 bit, are there things i need to do differently or pay attention to with ubuntu or linux in general?
[02:55] <theonlyalt> chili555: I'm having the same problem as thespore. Iwconfig shows the right info, but I don't get any DHCP offers when I run dhclient for wlan0
[02:55] <nikin> veb: did you try tcptraceroute?
[02:55] <chutiya> rabri: can you recommend some good book.
[02:55] <HOT> zilly6_: i didnt have to do anything, i just installed and got  2.6.20-14-generic #2 SMP kernel by default
[02:55] <rabri> sumitabha das can be good book to start with
[02:55] <corden> anybody who is using sony ericsson mobile phone as modem to connect to the internet via ubuntu?
[02:55] <chutiya> rabri: i hate INDIANS
[02:56] <chili555> thespore when u scan, any encryption at router? WEP? WPA? Romulan?
[02:56] <thespore> chili555, no encryption
[02:56] <thespore> chili555, scan shows no encryption
[02:56] <rabri> hmm
[02:56] <zilly6_> HOT how about with applications in general
[02:56] <goldbond> i am trying to set up my network using samba. i hope to add windows machines, but right now i am trying to get two ubuntu machines to communicate. i have gone through several tutorials, but cannot read files on the other computer although i can see it. i get the error message "sorry cannot display all files". does anyone know what is wrong?
[02:56] <odat> hello everyone
[02:56] <odat> anyone able to compile a module?
[02:56] <chutiya> jk_: but i don wanna do nething with file system/whatever
[02:56] <thespore> chili555, just noticed wlan0:ava in ifconfig now shows 169.254.2.231 for ip..
[02:57] <chili555> thespore: that just means no external connection
[02:57] <jk_> chutiya: it's all there
[02:57] <thespore> chili555, okay
[02:57] <chutiya> jk_: and it seems challanging
[02:57] <chutiya>   To mount a Windows file system from Linux can be a challenging task.
[02:57] <jk_> chutiya: "hacking *inside* the windows box" is a great challenge and deep mystery
[02:57] <HOT> zilly6_: broadly speaking linux is SMP aware, so i can watch CPU threading all the time without any specific application support, im not an expert but from what i understand all apps "support" SMP, i tihnk the only decision you need to make is fiesty 32 or 64, i went with 32 for now just to be safe
[02:57] <odat> anyone able to compile a module?
[02:58] <goldbond> this is my samba config: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15147/
[02:58] <chili555> thespore: not using NetworkMangler, i hope
[02:58] <chutiya> jk_: and thats why i wanna learn it!
[02:58] <thespore> i have no idea
[02:58] <GaiaX11> chutiya: rabri Stop the childish in this channel! It is not a place for this. chutiya - stop saying that you hate people! The world is already full of violence. Go for /join ubuntu-offtopic
[02:58] <jk_> odat: ./configure and make ?
[02:58] <zilly6_> HOT why 32?
[02:58] <thespore> chili555, how do i find out?
[02:58] <chutiya> GaiaX11: am sorry if i hurt you
[02:58] <Pelo> !update > pelo
[02:58] <chutiya> i didn't mean to, though
[02:58] <corden> is there any dial-up program that don't requires me to type username and password? i want to try my se k610i  as modem in ubuntu. I alrady did this on XP.
[02:59] <_nnx_> For the kernel upgrade that came out today, for Edgy, will I need to do something special to upgrade my nVidia drivers, as well?  They aren't mentioned in the list of packages to upgrade.
[02:59] <chutiya> but i seriously hate bloodddy indians
[02:59] <corden> just the dial number
[02:59] <HOT> zilly6_: good question :) , i think i was just paranoid from getting stung with windows, if i get round to it i will reinstall with 64 bit
[02:59] <chili555> thespore: it shows as a whirly gizmo in your panel
[02:59] <HOT> anyone else running 64 bit and can offer feedback?
[02:59] <thespore> whirly gizmo? no..
[03:00] <odat> jk_, its the vicam module i can't seem to figure out how it looks more like a kernel patch
[03:00] <chutiya> jk_: ????
[03:00] <zilly6_> HOT that's funny, i read a lot about how windows is no where close to linux in 64 support. it's like the most prominent reason to use linux
[03:00] <thespore> chili555, i removed it with apt and i got a message saying network manager cannot continue.. so apparently it was running
[03:00] <dibblego> I am trying to run an ATI x550 Radeon with dual head; the mouse pointer on the second display is a large square, however, if I set "Composite" "0" as an Extension, I am fine; but then, if I set Option "Xinerama", I am back to the same problem - am I on my own?
[03:01] <InFlux> Hi, I have a small problem. I just installed some updates, and .11 kernel was installed, however X will not load. It comes up with this bluescreen that states "no screen found". Anyone have any ideas.
[03:01] <InFlux> ?
[03:01] <chili555> thespore: is dhcdbd also installed? pls remove
[03:01] <corden> anybody know how to access dial-up connection without typing the username and password, just the dial-up number
[03:01] <zilly6_> InFlux the kernel header updates?
[03:01] <jk_> odat: ah, is it part of the kernel?
[03:01] <HOT> zilly6_: agreed, altough you have to ask yourself what you are gaining with 64bit, i cant break the 4GB block on my home pc anyway, but at work i run Sun Grid over a RHEL4 cluster and we only use 64bit, never had a single compatability problem
[03:01] <jk_> odat: i'm not familiar.  you might have to rebuild your kernel (possibly)
[03:02] <jk_> zilly6: that article "30 days with linux" was pretty damning of linux 64 bit support
[03:02] <HOT> zilly6_: on balance i would go for 64 bit and test it if your doing a new install
[03:02] <odat> jk_ it is currently in the kernel but this patch enables the automatic gamma control
[03:02] <zilly6_> HOT speed maybe? again i'm new to 64/2core
[03:02] <zilly6_> jk_ 30 days with linux?
[03:02] <GaiaX11> jk_: Where is the article?
[03:02] <zilly6_> was it biased?
[03:02] <jk_> odat: sounds like you have to patch your kernel & recompile it
[03:02] <InFlux> zilly: I'm not sure. The updates icon stated I had updates, I installed them and it installed a kernel update from .10 to .11.
[03:03] <jk_> zilly: no
[03:03] <ll_HELL_ll> hi jk_
[03:03] <chili555> thespore: i would restart networking now sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[03:03] <jk_> zilly: http://consumer.hardocp.com/article.html.  see "the ugly"
[03:03] <Bagoor> I need a urgent help. Is there anyone here from Georgia Tech ? If yes, please PM me. (Also excuse me for this non-related message)
[03:03] <thespore> chili555, alright
[03:03] <bruenig> Bagoor, narrow net there
[03:03] <HOT> zilly6_: i think its a question of try it and see for now, we use 64bit at work because our cluster nodes have 32GB of RAM each, but that was the only factor for going 64bit
[03:04] <odat> jk_ have a look  http://arron.dnip.net:81/files/vicam.c-2.6.16-agc-Nikolov
[03:04] <thespore> chili555, failed to bring up ath0
[03:04] <zilly6_> HOT sounds good
[03:04] <chili555> thespore: and wlan0?
[03:04] <jk_> zilly: sorry that was a bad link: http://consumer.hardocp.com/article.html?art=MTI5OCwxMSwsaGNvbnN1bWVy
[03:04] <thespore> chili555, ifconfig shows my wlan0 connection
[03:04] <zilly6_> this kernel update problem seems popular today, i just installed the updates and am afraid of restarting
[03:04] <Bagoor> bruenig, ?
[03:04] <jk_> odat : looking ...
[03:04] <zilly6_> how do you roll back an update?
[03:05] <chili555> thespore: with an IP address???
[03:05] <thespore> chili555, says wmaster0: unknown hardware address type 001
[03:05] <Arrick> !samba
[03:05] <ubotu> samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[03:05] <_nnx_> Does anyone here know anything about the recent kernel upgrade for Edgy (2.6.17-11)?
[03:05] <thespore> chili555, wlan0:ava still has that 169 ip.. wlan0 has the right info
[03:05] <_nnx_> zilly6_: So far as I know you can't.
[03:05] <h3h_timo> hey guys, is there any reason why i shouldnt be able to install amarok??
[03:05] <trev_> does anyone know what monitor color temperature Ubuntu is optimised for use with?
[03:05] <corden> anybody know how to access dial-up connection without typing the username and password, just the dial-up number
[03:05] <bruenig> h3h_timo, sudo apt-get install amarok
[03:05] <HOT> h3h_timo: not that i know of
[03:05] <_nnx_> zilly6_: I guess you could totally uninstall the package, then get an old version and install it.
[03:06] <jrib> h3h_timo: do you get errors when you try?
[03:06] <goldbond> i am trying to set up my network using samba. i hope to add windows machines, but right now i am trying to get two ubuntu machines to communicate. i have gone through several tutorials, but cannot read files on the other computer although i can see it. i get the error message "sorry cannot display all files". does anyone know what is wrong?
[03:06] <zilly6_> _nnx_ well i meant for these kernel update problems people are having
[03:06] <chili555> thespore: wlan0 has an address on your network??
[03:06] <zilly6_> and i might have
[03:06] <goldbond> this is my samba config: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15147/
[03:06] <HOT> goldbond: for nix to nix machines NFS is prefered
[03:06] <_nnx_> zilly6_: Are you having a problem right now?
[03:07] <thespore> chili555, yes but i think it got manually assigned somehow, cause it's .1.111 and i know dhcp would't have assigned that
[03:07] <h3h_timo> bruenig, HOT , jrib, it just cant find amarok
[03:07] <h3h_timo> even after i apt-get update
[03:07] <bruenig> !info amarok
[03:07] <ubotu> amarok: versatile and easy to use audio player for KDE. In component main, is optional. Version 2:1.4.3-0ubuntu10 (edgy), package size 14370 kB, installed size 31288 kB
[03:07] <goldbond> hot, yes but i want to add windows machines to the network
[03:07] <jrib> h3h_timo: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:07] <bruenig> h3h_timo, pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:07] <bruenig> !paste
[03:07] <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)
[03:07] <HOT> h3h_timo: do you have universe enabled?
[03:07] <bruenig> HOT, it is in main
[03:07] <HOT> oh my bad
[03:07] <chili555> thespore why? can u ping router? ping google?
[03:07] <goldbond> hot: is it much better to set up two networks?
[03:07] <Arrick> ok, whats the name of the file again to edit the dns of a ubuntu server from terminal?
[03:08] <odat> jk_,   ?
[03:08] <thespore> chili555, can't ping router says destination host unreachable
[03:08] <jk_> odat: looking ...
[03:08] <h3h_timo> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15148/
[03:08] <NessieLiberation>  /etc/resolv.conf
[03:08] <NessieLiberation> this one?
[03:08] <thespore> chili555, i set it manually in system->adminstration->network earlier
[03:08] <ardchoille> How do I get the right-click context menu to popup via the keyboard?
[03:08] <h3h_timo> HOT, jrib , bruenig , did you get that?
[03:08] <Arrick> is that for me NessieLiberation ?
[03:08] <NessieLiberation> Arrick, yes
[03:09] <Arrick> ok thanks
[03:09] <zilly6_> _nnx_ not right now, but other people are like InFlux
[03:09] <Stevewabc_Laptop> goldbond, here http://www.howtoforge.com/samba_setup_ubuntu_5.10 works well and is a easy howto
[03:09] <zilly6_> i have restarted yet
[03:09] <goldbond> thanks
[03:09] <chili555> thespore: hard to know definately if u r connected with static. can u pls change back to dhcp?
[03:09] <jrib> h3h_timo: pastebin the output of:   sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install amarok
[03:09] <bruenig> h3h_timo, check the command, sudo apt-get install amarok (make sure you aren't misspelling)
[03:09] <duelboot> Arrick, How's the business?
[03:09] <InFlux> Zilly, did I miss something?
[03:09] <Arrick> duelboot, very well
[03:10] <chili555> thespore  put in correct essid when u r in there
[03:10] <thespore> chili555, okay now i've got wlan0 which doesn't have any ip info.. wlan0:ava which has the 169 ip, and wmaster0 which has the .1.111 ip
[03:10] <_nnx_> zilly6_: Well, if it were me?  I wouldn't worry too much about it.
[03:10] <jk_> odat: ok so http://arron.dnip.net:81/files/vicam.c-2.6.16-agc-Nikolov is an updated version of vicam.c in the linux source ?
[03:10] <Arrick> sites not much better yet though, I did change to a apache2 server duelboot
[03:10] <HOT> goldbond: typically you would connect to a samba share like this " ount -t smbfs //servername/sharename /mountdirectory -o username=mywindowsusername,password=mywindowspassword"
[03:10] <duelboot> sweet, Arrick
[03:10] <chili555> thespore  did you put in correct essid when u r in there
[03:10] <zilly6_> _nnx_ time to give it a shot
[03:10] <_nnx_> zilly6_: Kernel problems are the sort of thing that can hose one person but completely untouch another.
[03:10] <Arrick> check it out, if you remember the address duelboot
[03:10] <Stevewabc_Laptop> goldbond, that is what your tring to do corect?
[03:10] <Arrick> duelboot, pm
[03:10] <HOT> now i know that looks a bit crazy, but if you look at it is pretty straight forward
[03:10] <thespore> chili555, yeah there's another connection (wmaster0) now that's not configured
[03:10] <zilly6_> bruenig the uTorrent was great, thanks
[03:11] <goldbond> steveabc_laptop: no
[03:11] <thespore> chili555, should i configure that one too?
[03:11] <odat> jk, yup it enables automatic gamma control
[03:11] <duelboot> Arrick, I setup a family website using LAMP with Ubuntu of course, but it's password protected and uses SSL...pretty cool
[03:11] <linux_kid> How do I configure bcm43xx to be faster ?|?|?
[03:11] <goldbond> steveabc_laptop: i have two ubuntu computers i want to add to my roomate's network
[03:11] <chili555> thespore no, leave it alone, but make it dhcp if u can
[03:11] <goldbond> hot: how can i use the ubuntu gui?
[03:11] <_nnx_> zilly6_: I'd only personally be concerned if there was evidence of file system or hardware damage, or it was a mission critical system.  But if it was the last you shouldn't be upgrading the kernel right away anyway.
[03:11] <InFlux> nnx: Software update updated my kernel to 2.6.17.11 and X will not start. It states "Screen Not Found". However, .10 works just fine.
[03:11] <h3h_timo> jrib, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15149/
[03:11] <jk_> odat: ok, the direction i'd be looking is to grab the linux source code and make sure you can compile it with the vicam module. then copy over the newer code from http://arron.dnip.net:81/files/vicam.c-2.6.16-agc-Nikolov and recompile
[03:11] <HOT> goldbond: go to "places" > "network"
[03:12] <_nnx_> InFlux: Do you have nVidia drivers?
[03:12] <HOT> then click around a bit :)
[03:12] <Arrick> cool duelboot
[03:12] <zilly6_> _nnx_ thanks
[03:12] <goldbond> hot: yes i opened that and i can see the computers
[03:12] <bruenig> h3h_timo, that is a crazy mess
[03:12] <odat> jk, sheesh that seems like alot of work i'm not that versed with linux yet to do something like that
[03:12] <thespore> chili555, okay well i brought wlan0 down and back up and now that wlan0:ava is gone
[03:12] <jk_> if you get the linux source to match your running kernel, and build the vicam.c module against that you should be able to "make modules" then copy the module into your /lib/modules folder and modprobe it in
[03:12] <h3h_timo> bruenig, basically its not updating right
[03:12] <odat> jk, is there anyway to make a patch for the current module?
[03:12] <h3h_timo> i keep having problems updating
[03:13] <HOT> goldbond: good, have you set up shares on the windows machines?
[03:13] <InFlux> nnx: Yes, I sure do. It does stated that the Nvidia module was not loaded. It's very strange.
[03:13] <goldbond> hot: however when i try to access the remote one i get the message "sorry couldn't display all the contents..."
[03:13] <jk_> odat: i don't know an easier way other than google like hell to find a compiled version
[03:13] <chili555> thespore ok fine
[03:13] <bruenig> h3h_timo, it is not updating right in 100 different ways
[03:13] <thespore> chili555, well now it's back up.. lol
[03:13] <goldbond> hot: no i am starting with the two ubuntu computers
[03:13] <h3h_timo> bruenig, why would it not be updating right??
[03:13] <thespore> chili555, i don't know what wmaster0 hs that .1.111 that's what i had hardcoded in
[03:13] <HOT> goldbond: so are you looking at another linux box or a windows box?
[03:13] <bruenig> h3h_timo, you have some serious apt problems there
[03:13] <jk_> odat: well, you have to compile it
[03:14] <goldbond> hot: another linux box
[03:14] <bruenig> h3h_timo, not sure how to fix that
[03:14] <h3h_timo> bruenig, its an almost fresh install
[03:14] <_nnx_> InFlux: The upgrade hosed the module.  That's what happened.  You're going to need to either upgrade the driver, roll back the kernel version (if you can - I wouldn't recommend it), or wait for them to update the kernel module, if that'll end up coming up in package update.
[03:14] <chili555> thespore change it to dhcp, too
[03:14] <bruenig> h3h_timo, could be all your third party repos, probably not though
[03:14] <jrib> h3h_timo: how do you connect to the internet?
[03:14] <odat> jk_, would someone else be able to compile it then release the updated module?
[03:14] <_nnx_> InFlux: You can also temporarily switch over to the standard driver.
[03:14] <thespore> chili555, in the adminstration->network dialog?
[03:14] <HOT> goldbond: ok make a folder inside your home directory called test, then right click and do share, then refresh the network view
[03:14] <chili555> thespore yes
[03:14] <h3h_timo> jrib, im at school
[03:14] <thespore> chili555, it won't let me switch to dhcp unless i put the ssid in too
[03:14] <jk_> odat: you could try firing off an email to the 4 guys listed on top there if you don't want to build it yourself.  worth a shot
[03:14] <_nnx_> InFlux: Unfortunately I don't recall off of the top of my head how to do that.  You'd probably end up modifying XF86Config, or whatever they're calling it these days under X.org.
[03:15] <h3h_timo> jrib, i live on campus
[03:15] <goldbond> hot: on the local computer?
[03:15] <chili555> thespore go right ahead!
[03:15] <goldbond> hot: i have already shared a folder on each computer
[03:15] <jk_> i personally would just build it the way i described but it's a process
[03:15] <chili555> thespore the exact correct one from scan
[03:15] <InFlux> nnx: It's all good. I am running .10 right now and it's running ok, :)
[03:15] <systemd0wn> anyone have a quick recommendation for re-sizing my ubuntu partition?  GUI would be nice.  Want to play with another OS.
[03:15] <jrib> h3h_timo: can you view 91.189.88.31 in your browser?
[03:15] <HOT> goldbond: and when you double click the machine in network view it says no visible? , do you have a firewall running?
[03:15] <bruenig> systemd0wn, gparted
[03:16] <_nnx_> systemd0wn: I think gparted can do that, but I've never tried it, so YMMV.
[03:16] <bruenig> systemd0wn, you are going to have to do it in live cd though if it is your root partition
[03:16] <exs> Is there a tutorial to setup my ubuntu edgy for a simple http/ftp server?
[03:16] <thespore> chili555, with the quotes?
[03:16] <aussieaubs> plenty - go to google
[03:16] <systemd0wn> bruenig, _nnx_, thanks.
[03:16] <jk_> exs: install it, then install apache and enable ftp :)
[03:16] <h3h_timo> jrib, yep
[03:16] <bruenig> !ftpd
[03:16] <ubotu> FTP servers: !ftpd, !proftpd, !pure-ftpd, !twoftpd, !vsftpd - Graphical front-ends: !PureAdmin, !GProftpd (for !GNOME), !KcmPureftpd (for !KDE) - See also !FTP
[03:16] <h3h_timo> shows index
[03:16] <h3h_timo> of /
[03:16] <exs> jk_:  install what?
[03:16] <chili555> thespore no quotes unless there is a spcace in it
[03:17] <chili555> thespore make all interfaces match
[03:17] <thespore> okay then both wireless connections are configured in the network settings dialog, essid is right and address set to dhcp
[03:17] <thespore> chili555, wmaster0 still shows the .1.111 address though in ifconfig
[03:17] <jk_> exs: well, you need ubuntu running on the box.  apache is as easy as #aptitude install apache2 ...
[03:18] <chili555> thespore sudo dhclient wlan0
[03:18] <zilly6_> _nnx_ looks like is well
[03:18] <jk_> exs: or just use the synaptic gui to install it
[03:18] <jrib> h3h_timo: does your browser use a proxy possibly?
[03:18] <h3h_timo> jrib, nope
[03:18] <_nnx_> zilly6_: Excellent.
[03:18] <exs> jk_:  yeah im doing that
[03:18] <_nnx_> InFlux: I would, after a cursory glance at the package lists...
[03:18] <Zambezi> Is there an application like nano with a possibilty to print? (Not using X)?
[03:19] <zilly6_> when's feisty launching?
[03:19] <_nnx_> InFlux: Try -> sudo apt-get upgrade nvidia-glx nvidia-glx-dev nvidia-kernel-commonnvidia-kernel-source nvidia-settings nvidia-xconfig
[03:19] <Zambezi> zilly6_, 19/4
[03:19] <HOT> i should really put up that IPV6 fix for firefox on the tips and tricks but then i have to register on the forums..so much work.
[03:19] <thespore> chili555, no dhcpoffers received
[03:19] <jk_> exs: ok you're 90% there
[03:19] <_nnx_> InFlux: Try -> sudo apt-get upgrade nvidia-glx nvidia-glx-dev nvidia-kernel-common nvidia-kernel-source nvidia-settings nvidia-xconfig
[03:19] <bruenig> HOT, bet it is up there already
[03:19] <_nnx_> InFlux: Corrected a typo for that last one.
[03:19] <exs> jk_:  cool stuff. ok, it's installed apache.. :)
[03:19] <jk_> ok great, you pretty much have it then
[03:19] <InFlux> nnx:, Thanks, I'll do that.
[03:19] <bruenig> HOT, I know I saw some optimize firefox stuff before and I think that was in it
[03:19] <jk_> exs: remember apache runs as a service ...
[03:20] <chili555> thespore: can you dhcp wmaster0 in the Networking gui?
[03:20] <erikgz> how does one go about downgrading a package?  (e.g. the most recent mutt has broken pop3 support in feisty)
[03:20] <exs> jk_:  hmm, ok.. ummm
[03:20] <erikgz> (and i want to go back)
[03:20] <HOT> bruenig: your right, its just gone stale, over a month old
[03:20] <thespore> chili555, i set it to dhcp in the networking gui yes.. both wlan0 and wmaster0
[03:20] <goldbond> hot: i do not have a firewall running
[03:20] <exs> jk_:  im in services now
[03:20] <jk_> exs: System->Administration
[03:20] <_nnx_> InFlux: If I'm on when you try it, please let me know how it goes.  I came on this channel to ask about that specific thing, actually, before I tried a kernel upgrade.
[03:20] <w3ccv> WIFI-Relay Question:  The /etc/wifi-relay.conf file contains the [SSID]  for each 'network'. Is there a way to have a [UserGeneratedNickname]  for a section with the ssid specified in that section. I've run into a couple networks that use the same *dumb* name of "wireless" and I need to keep them straight.
[03:20] <jk_> exs: exactly.  last one, probably
[03:20] <HOT> erikgz: go into package manager, find the package the select "force version"
[03:20] <chili555> Zambezi lpr /etc/X11/xorg.conf? or whatever?
[03:20] <jk_> exs: "Web Server"
[03:20] <jrib> h3h_timo: do you know of any other ubuntu users on your campus that successfully update?
[03:20] <corden> anybody know how to access dial-up connection without typing the username and password, just the dial-up number
[03:20] <zilly6_> HOT you have any good optimize/reduce memory guides for firefox?
[03:20] <HOT> goldbond: can you ping the other machine from both ends?
[03:21] <abruzzi> Hi!
[03:21] <jk_> exs: That controls whether apache is running automatically.  just like a windows services.  same idea
[03:21] <abruzzi> Need help
[03:21] <h3h_timo> jrib, i wish i did
[03:21] <exs> jk_:  I'm not seeing web service nor apache
[03:21] <chili555> thespore lets restart networking, remember how?
[03:21] <h3h_timo> im from a pretty small school
[03:21] <erikgz> HOT: ok.
[03:21] <HOT> zilly6_: not really, i strongly recommend disable ipv6 lookup though, its makes firefox much much faster
[03:21] <jk_> exs: you just installed apache?
[03:21] <abruzzi> Need help with Grub
[03:21] <erikgz> HOT: i've only ever used the aptitude command line :)
[03:21] <exs> jk_:  yes
[03:21] <_nnx_> zilly6_: First off, if you have the technical know-how, I'd install a copy of Firefox straight from the Firefox website.  They seem to run a little bit faster.
[03:21] <thespore> chili555, err /etc/init.d/networking restart ?
[03:21] <IndyGunFreak> abruzzi: just ask your question
[03:21] <_nnx_> zilly6_: And less memory hungry.
[03:21] <h3h_timo> jrib, could i do a traceroute to that ip address and see where its dropped?
[03:21] <abruzzi> I resized my partition I know I get Error 17
[03:21] <chili555> thespore yes
[03:21] <thespore> chili555, woot.
[03:21] <_nnx_> zilly6_ : Second - lemme see if I can look this up (no promises)...
[03:21] <abruzzi> and now*
[03:22] <HOT> erikgz: sorry chap dont know how to force a version from the CLI
[03:22] <abruzzi> I resized my partition and now I get error 17
[03:22] <IndyGunFreak> !enter | abruzzi
[03:22] <zilly6_> _nnx_ thanks the thing that kills me is the memory/cpu usage
[03:22] <jk_> exs: and System->Administration->Services doesn't have an entry for "Web Server" ?
[03:22] <chili555> thespore and did wmaster0 give up its 1.111?
[03:22] <zilly6_> is there a way to tweak how paging works?
[03:22] <ubotu> abruzzi: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[03:22] <exs> jk_:  no. do I need to restart?
[03:22] <thespore> chili555, i dunno it's doing a dhcpdiscover on wlan0
[03:22] <jrib> h3h_timo: well the thing is, you can get to it with your browser so it isn't always unreachable for some reason.  Sometimes this works:  comment all of your sources.list, sudo apt-get update, then uncomment the main repo and try sudo apt-get update again
[03:22] <jk_> exs:
[03:23] <h3h_timo> jrib, just uncomment the main one??
[03:23] <jk_> exs: open a terminal Applications->Accessories->Terminal
[03:23] <_nnx_> zilly6_ : Yeah, same here.  Here's what I did, IIRC...
[03:23] <erikgz> HOT: it feels broken :(  the gui is much easier to do downgrades with
[03:23] <exs> jk_:  done
[03:23] <jrib> h3h_timo: to test.  First you comment everything though
[03:23] <thespore> chili555, now it's doing the same on wmaster0
[03:23] <_nnx_> zilly6_ : Go to about:config, and find browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers and set it to 1.
[03:23] <jk_> exs: type in "/etc/init.d/apache2 start"
[03:23] <h3h_timo> jrib, alright
[03:23] <HOT> erikgz: sadly thats my experience as well
[03:23] <jk_> exs: (without the quotes)
[03:23] <InFlux> nnx: I'll let you know how it goes :)
[03:23] <_nnx_> zilly6_: If I recall correctly that setting governs some caching that Firefox does that's bluntly more trouble than it's worth in my experience.
[03:24] <_nnx_> InFlux: Thank you muchly.
[03:24] <grayman> hmmmm
[03:24] <HOT> zilly6_: you might want to do IPV6 disable = true as well
[03:24] <grayman> i wonder why i got a kernel update that seems to be exactly the same
[03:24] <thespore> chili555, okay yess it gave up the .1.111 address, doesn't have any info now
[03:24] <ror> cool!
[03:24] <h3h_timo> jrib, alright i uncommented them and then it updated and it just read the lists and said done
[03:24] <_nnx_> zilly6_ : I'd look up how to disable IPv6 in the kernel.
[03:24] <linux_kid> How do I config bcm43xx ??
[03:24] <jk_> exs: when you're typing at the command like "tab" will auto complete
[03:24] <_nnx_> zilly6_ : As for paging, if you mean virtual memory...
[03:24] <jrib> h3h_timo: ok now uncomment just the line that contains "edgy main"
[03:24] <chili555> thespore but dhcp timed out, eh?
[03:24] <jk_> exs: for some reason, i didn't realize that for like my first 2 years using links (doh!)
[03:25] <IndyGunFreak> !wireless | linux_kid
[03:25] <ubotu> linux_kid: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[03:25] <exs> jk_: Yeah I know the tab thing. it told me "chown: changing ownership of `/var/lock/apache2': Operation not permitted"
[03:25] <ror> "The program 'convert' can be found in the following packages:" that's a really cool thing to do
[03:25] <_nnx_> zilly6_ : Look in /etc/sysctl.conf
[03:25] <corden> HELP!!! using SE K610i as modem in Ubuntu.
[03:25] <thespore> chili555, yup
[03:25] <mehsin> hi...did anyone have any success installing XGL/compiz on dapper?
[03:25] <zilly6_> _nnx_ yeah vm, i'm not using half of my ram yet and it starts paging memory
[03:25] <jk_> exs: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[03:25] <h3h_timo> jrib, there are abunch with edgy main
[03:25] <_nnx_> zilly6_ : There should be an entry that has 'swappiness'.  Desktop machines supposedly do best when that's set to 0.
[03:25] <linux_kid> IndyGunFreak, I have it installed, I just need to speed it up
[03:25] <jrib> h3h_timo: the first one
[03:25] <IndyGunFreak> couldn't tell ya
[03:25] <jk_> exs: sudo will execute the command as root
[03:25] <pdelgado> hello all
[03:25] <corden> HELP!!! using SE K610i as modem in Ubuntu.
[03:26] <jasont308> hello all
[03:26] <InFlux> nnx: the command states: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not to get
[03:26] <h3h_timo> jrib, some work, other says error reading from server
[03:26] <exs> jk_: " * Forcing reload of apache 2.0 web server... apache2: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName apache2: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName"
[03:26] <_nnx_> zilly6_ : I forget which is which, but I /think/ that one encourages trying to avoid using the swap file the most.  It ranges from 0-100.  100 helps servers more and uses the swap file more often, I /think/.
[03:26] <jrib> h3h_timo: pastebin please
[03:26] <jk_> exs: ok that's plausbile.  open firefox to http://127.0.0.1
[03:26] <_nnx_> zilly6_ : It's been a while since I read up on this, but my machine has its swappiness set to 0.
[03:26] <bruenig> or just localhost
[03:26] <chili555> thespore it shud connect easily, did you put the MAC back in, colon separated? 00:22:44 etc?
[03:26] <thespore> chili555, lemme try changing some settings in my router.. brb
[03:26] <HOT> oh swappiness i forgot about that...
[03:26] <exs> jk_:  ok I get the directory listing of apache default
[03:26] <zilly6_> _nnx_ i don't see any swappiness setting
[03:26] <erikgz> ugh, gnutls is so broken :(
[03:27] <jk_> exs: so, great, you now have apache running
[03:27] <thespore> chili555, yeah it's in there
[03:27] <_nnx_> zilly6_ : Alright, stick this line in - vm.swappiness = 0
[03:27] <exs> jk_:  sweet.
[03:27] <_nnx_> zilly6_ : Copied out of my own file.
[03:27] <zilly6_> _nnx_ thank you
[03:27] <pdelgado> quick question: I installed Kubuntu 6.06 from a CD and I'm upgrading to 6.10 (or should I upgrade straight to 7.04?) ... anyways... to update from 6.06 to 6.10 all I did was edited my /etc/apt/sources.list and replaced all "dapper" occurrences with "edgy" ... is that all I need to do? (and run apt-get update)
[03:27] <jk_> exs: that's it, that's your webserver.
[03:27] <chili555> thespore in iwconfig?
[03:27] <thespore> chili555, brb
[03:27] <thespore> chili555, yeah
[03:27] <h3h_timo> jrib, http://pastebin.ca/435646
[03:27] <jrib> !upgrade > pdelgado    (pdelgado, see the private message from ubotu)
[03:27] <jrib> pdelgado: you are correct, that you need to upgrade to 6.10 first and then to 7.04
[03:28] <pdelgado> jrib.. thank you
[03:28] <HOT> cant reemember why but i settled for swappiness of ten in the end "sudo sysctl -w vm.swappiness=10"
[03:28] <jrib> h3h_timo: and that ip works in your browser too right?
[03:28] <exs> jk_:  I want to make my ip public, so someone can wack in my ip (http://344.245.294.293/) and be able to access a html page. is this hard to do?
[03:29] <h3h_timo> jrib, dunno let me check
[03:29] <jk_> exs: depends on your network.  if this is just at home, you'll have to make sure port 80 is open on your router and port forward requests to your router for port 80 to your machine's ip
[03:29] <fizzmahon> hello, i am trying to install something, i have done ./configure, but when i type "make" i get this error "make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop." can anyone be of any assistance?
[03:29] <zilly6_> _nnx_ here's a good swap guide http://lwn.net/Articles/83588/
[03:29] <mescon> sheesh
[03:30] <jrib> fizzmahon: what are you trying to install?
[03:30] <_nnx_> zilly6_ : Thanks.  I'll bookmark that.
[03:30] <fizzmahon> jrib, ksmoothdock
[03:30] <mescon> there's alot of trial and error when it comes to installing Ubuntu (or rather, making GRUB work) with 4 SATA drives in software RAID
[03:30] <h3h_timo> jrib, yep
[03:30] <_nnx_> zilly6_ : Here' sthe article I configured my /etc/sysctl.conf file with -> http://tvease.net/wiki/index.php?title=Tweak_ubuntu_for_speed
[03:30] <jk_> exs: for example for me that's my linksys router at (internally of course) 192.168.1.100 or something like that
[03:30] <Viaken> I'm trying to install Dapper to an XFS /, with a seperate ext2 /boot partition, but the installer keeps telling me to use something other than XFS for /boot (which I'm not doing). Am I doing something wrong?
[03:30] <ardchoille> !info ksmoothdock
[03:30] <ubotu> Package ksmoothdock does not exist in edgy, edgy-backports, edgy-seveas
[03:30] <_nnx_> zilly6_ : However, DON'T do the file system tweak.  It's just not worth it IMO.
[03:30] <h3h_timo> jrib, could it be firestarter for some reason?
[03:30] <jk_> fizz: that's a bit vague
[03:30] <Heartsbane> mescon, you ain't kidding, I did that this weekend
[03:31] <exs> jk_:  I use static routing, and my ip is 192.168.1.10. I use a linksys router. I have forwarded port 80 my local network address (192.168.1.10)
[03:31] <zilly6_> _nnx_ this is random, do you ever wish you had a "notepad" to jot stuff down online?
[03:31] <fizzmahon> jrib, but i have also been trying to install KDE themes all day and i get the same error, none will make
[03:31] <zilly6_> _nnx_ thanks
[03:31] <mescon> Heartsbane, trying it now
[03:31] <mescon> I think I got the hang of it
[03:31] <jk_> exs: ok that *should* do it
[03:31] <jrib> !compiling > fizzmahon    (fizzmahon, see the private message from ubotu)
[03:31] <jk_> exs: i suppose it's possible your ISP would block port 80 -- you'd have to examine your network
[03:31] <drusepth> Any doctors in here willing to answer some questions in private chat?
[03:31] <mescon> /boot is RAID1 (RAID1 + GRUB should work according to various sites), swap is RAID0 and / is RAID5
[03:31] <exs> jk_:  http://85.210.53.230/ there you go.
[03:31] <jk_> exs: port 80 in terms of serving up pages
[03:31] <Heartsbane> mescon: I just did the 6.10 it detected things better than 6.06
[03:31] <jrib> fizzmahon: when that happens, it means you need to read the documentation for your program, usually you can find a README or INSTALL file with instructions
[03:32] <jk_> exs: sweet, ya got it
[03:32] <Derek_Russo> Hi, I've been trying for some time now to get my video card drivers working.  I have an ATI video card and I've tried several of the tutorials with no luck.  Does anyone think they might be able to help?
[03:32] <bruenig> attack
[03:32] <jk_> exs: keep in mind your isp might change your IP
[03:32] <mescon> Heartsbane, Im doing 6.10 right now on an FS Primergy TX150 S5 server
[03:32] <h3h_timo> jrib, im reading through the forums and it seems that other users are having this problem when at a school network
[03:32] <jk_> exs: this is where dymamic dns comes in
[03:32] <jrib> h3h_timo: ah, interesting
[03:32] <jrib> h3h_timo: can you link me?
[03:32] <mescon> 4x250gb 10k rpm SATA drives, xeon dual core and 1gb of memory...
[03:32] <thespore> chili555, okay that didn't do anything lol
[03:32] <fizzmahon> jrib, i did read the install and it said to "./configure" then "make" then "make install" and it had no troubleshooting for this specific issue
[03:32] <_nnx_> zilly6_ : Oh yeah, to re-read sysctl without a reboot, do this -> sysctl -p
[03:32] <mescon> the server will be acting as a mailserver for 188 residents in our apartment complex
[03:32] <exs> jk_: Yeah, I used dynamic ip on my old windows machine, I can sort that out a bit later...so, how do I edit the html page? thanks for all your help by the way
[03:33] <jrib> fizzmahon: did you read the output of ./configure to make sure there were no errors?
[03:33] <h3h_timo> jrib, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=383191
[03:33] <h3h_timo> and i saw another one
[03:33] <h3h_timo> how do i know if i have a firewall on?
[03:33] <fizzmahon> jrib, nope, never done that before
[03:33] <zilly6_> _nnx_ thanks
[03:33] <mescon> or rather, 188 apartments, 1gb per apartment (188gb of maximum data) that needs to be stored on the RAID5 array...
[03:33] <jk_> exs: your next stop is probably your /etc/apache2/httpd.conf file
[03:33] <Derek_Russo> does anyone think they might be able to help?>
[03:33] <bruenig> exs, http://www.no-ip.com/services/managed_dns/free_dynamic_dns.html here is a good solution if you want
[03:33] <fizzmahon> jrib, there are 4 configure files, which do i look at?
[03:34] <jrib> fizzmahon: none of them, look at the output when you do ./configure
[03:34] <thespore> chili555, i'm using this wireless connection manager thing (gnome applet) and it shows that i'm connected but signal strength is 0%
[03:34] <h3h_timo> jrib, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2328394
[03:34] <jk_> exs: i take that back (apache2 change) : /etc/httpd/sites-available
[03:34] <h3h_timo> there is another link
[03:34] <jk_> exs: default file
[03:34] <chili555> thespore it oughta connect in a heartbeat, all i can suggest is check your work carefully. iwconfig essid, ap MAC and dhclient shud connect all day
[03:34] <jrib> h3h_timo: hmm that last one mentions firestarter like you suspected.  Does turning it off work for you too?
[03:34] <Zambezi> chili555, lpr file.txt didn't work. "Command not found".
[03:35] <HOT> mescon: you using LVM for that raid ?
[03:35] <mescon> Heartsbane, it's really nice to see the speed of the drives though :) 86075K/Sec right now
[03:35] <exs> jk_:  ok, I have sudo gedit open this httpd/sites-available. So, is this my html file? (aka index?)
[03:35] <h3h_timo> jrib, i dont even think i have it on
[03:35] <exs> bruenig:  thanks for this link
[03:35] <mescon> HOT, nope... the setup is rather "static", so no need to add/remove space or disks...
[03:35] <jk_> exs: no this is the apache configuration file that controls where apache looks to serve content
[03:35] <HOT> mescon: no hot swap?
[03:35] <mescon> there is
[03:35] <mescon> but
[03:35] <ardchoille> !gksudo | exs
[03:35] <ubotu> exs: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use  gksudo , as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Avoid ever using  sudo <GUI-application> 
[03:35] <jk_> exs: use that file to change -- for example -- your web root dir
[03:35] <jrib> h3h_timo: sudo /etc/init.d/firestarter stop     fails then?
[03:36] <Zambezi> chili555, After installing lpr it says unknown printer.
[03:36] <mescon> I dont feel comfortable enough with LVM to go about installing it, because if something would happen I wouldn't have the skills to get the data back by LVM :P
[03:36] <h3h_timo> jrib, no i just installed it and then stopped it
[03:36] <mescon> mdadm works fine for that purpose in RAID5
[03:36] <Cosmo_> I am trying to install the VPN my job uses but it keeps giving me this error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15047/
[03:36] <trev_> can anyone tell me the command to make X restart?
[03:36] <jrib> h3h_timo: sudo iptables -L    shows no rules?
[03:36] <h3h_timo> jrib, i have connections in the tech department here, im gonna find out from one of the bosses if they block connections to the canonical repositories for some reason
[03:36] <mescon> mdadm works fine for that purpose in RAID5
[03:36] <HOT> mescon: fair enough :). its not actually that scary though and has saved my ass more than once
[03:37] <jk_> trev: ctrl+alt+backspace :)
[03:37] <mescon> trev_, /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[03:37] <trev_> thankyou
[03:37] <chili555> Zambezi i wish i could tell u how to set up a printer from the command line, i cant
[03:37] <h3h_timo> jrib, everything says accept
[03:37] <jrib> h3h_timo: yeah their firewall may be doing what firestarter did for others then, gl
[03:37] <tjb13> hey guys is there a rc cd comming out at midnight tonight?
[03:37] <h3h_timo> jrib, thanks
[03:37] <mescon> HOT, You have any "simple" guides for it? I googled it a bit, but wanna learn more about how it works (the concept of it, LVM on RAID blabla)... tldp.org howto's are scary :P
[03:37] <exs> jk_:  cool thanks. right, so it's open under gksudo now, is there any specific (and simple parameters) i should set up?
[03:38] <trev_> thx
[03:38] <ardchoille> tjb13: Should be
[03:38] <jk_> exs: you might want to change your "DocumentRoot" and <Directory > to point elsewhere
[03:38] <jk_> exs: if you want.
[03:39] <jk_> exs: otherwise, just note where your root is and you can jump into creating whatever content you want with an index.html
[03:39] <jk_> exs: read the README under /etc/apache2 for more info
[03:39] <francois> how can i find out what version of ubuntu i am running ? can i do uname -r at the command line ?
[03:39] <mescon> HOT: "tldp.org: How to reboot your computer." ..... "as previously stated in chapter 18, the 'now' parameter means that the computer should reboot at the present time in space. Alas, the command is shutdown -h now. If you want to learn how to reboot in 10 minutes, read chapter 41."
[03:40] <exs> jk_:  "DocumentRoot"  </home/engle/serverhtttp>
[03:40] <HOT> mescon: you could grab Ubuntu 6.10 Alternate Install CD , then throw together say a vmware system with a couple of SCSI's just to get a feel for it, once you understand it, its actually very straight forward, if you want a little more help try using webmin as a wrapper, has all the flags you could ever need
[03:40] <ardchoille> francois: lsb_release -a
[03:40] <exs> jk_:  that's in my sites available
[03:40] <francois> ardchoille: thanks a bunch
[03:40] <HOT> mescon: the alternative cd has LVM support straight out the box
[03:40] <ardchoille> francois: You're welcome :)
[03:40] <exs> jk_:  ops, ignore the extra t in http
[03:41] <mescon> hm, the 6.10 Server edition has support for LVM as well, right? (perhaps thats what you meant by 'alternate edition'?)
[03:41] <Zambezi> chili555, It works with cups, but I can't make it work over the network. It's either that or commandline.
[03:41] <theonlyalt> im inches away from getting my wireless network up and running but I've run into a small connundrum. in gtkwifi I can connect to the router, but there is an "Unknown signal on network 'Wireless'". The router shows up in iwconfig (finally...) but it just won't connect. any ideas?
[03:41] <jk_> exs: so that file is good for things like subdomains, modules, apache directives, etc
[03:41] <fizzmahon> hello again. ok so i solved my problem with configure as i did not have build-essentials installed but now when i type make i get this error "/bin/bash: aclocal-1.9: command not found" any ideas?
[03:41] <Axsuul> is there a way to configure ftp file transferring so that no matter what ftp client a user uses, files will automatically have chmod of 664?
[03:41] <shriphani> just upgraded to edgy
[03:42] <HOT> mescon: server supports lvm but also adds a lot of "fluff" like a LAMP config and such, if you just want a basic NAS or something then alternative cd is the weapon of choice
[03:42] <chili555> Zambezi its a network printer?
[03:42] <exs> jk_:  for some reason there is no such directory or file of ' /etc/httpd/sites-available' .. even /etc/httpd/ is not there
[03:42] <mescon> HOT: does LVM add another layer of security if a harddisk dies? I was under the impression a RAID array was sufficient, in co-operation with nightly offsite backups
[03:42] <jk_> Axsuul could you use the sticky bit for that ?
[03:43] <Axsuul> jk_ sticky bit?
[03:43] <jk_> exs: /etc/apache2/sites-available
[03:43] <zilly6_> _nnx_ the firefox is much faster from the site
[03:43] <zilly6_> thanks again
[03:43] <_nnx_> zilly6_: N/P
[03:44] <_nnx_> zilly6_: If you want you can try swiftfox, but I've found that to be a bit of a hassle and a bit more crashprone than the vanilla versions.
[03:44] <francois> can you install from the breezy live cd ?
[03:44] <fizzmahon> can anyone help me with this issue http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15154/
[03:44] <mescon> HOT: This machine will be doing qmail, spamassasin (blabla, mail-setup, 1gb per apartment, 5 IMAP-accounts per apartment and so on), will act as Intranet webserver (telling people to go help the old ladies in the garden and so on)
[03:44] <mescon> and possibly DNS as well
[03:44] <HOT> mescon: basically you are getting two things for buck, dynamic disk resizing and physical volume spanning over logical partitions
[03:44] <Hasrat_USA> hi guys I'm a freaking and annoying noob so please forgive me If i sound stupid but I have a few questions. if anyone's interested, please share your knowledge on the topic in question with me. 1) what/who is a 'local attacker' ? 2) does a 'local attacker' need to have physical access to my system to execute an attack? 3) I just went to Ubuntu Official forums and in the 'Ubuntu news and announcements' section discovered that
[03:44] <Hasrat_USA> developers are urging 6.10 edgy eft users to upgrade their kernel from 'whatever they have' to 2.6.17.1-11.37 to prevent 'local attackers' from running arbatrirary codes or doing anything malicious to the system. does the local attacker need to have physical access to my system if i don't choose to update the kernel? Thanks in advance
[03:44] <jrib> fizzmahon: you need automake1.9
[03:45] <zilly6_> _nnx_ i used to use swiftfox gave up on it in the summer
[03:45] <mescon> HOT, wont disk resizing affect the filesystem? Or does LVM also mean you have to use a specific fs?
[03:45] <jk_> axsuul: sticky bit is a way of retaining file attributes
[03:45] <dj-fu> Hasrat_USA: local attacker implies shell access
[03:45] <MrMakeveli> hey guys i got some more partition questions
[03:45] <mescon> LVM + resize_reiserfs perhaps :)
[03:45] <fizzmahon> jrib, so just "sudo apt-get install automake1.9" ?
[03:45] <Tom47> !floppy
[03:45] <ubotu> To mount floppy disks, see here : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MakeFloppyDriveAvailableToEveryone
[03:45] <jrib> fizzmahon: yes
[03:45] <Hasrat_USA> shell access
[03:45] <fizzmahon> jrib, thanks
[03:45] <camer0ff> hey, how do i change my name from "oem" to something else in xubuntu 7.04|
[03:45] <camer0ff> ?
[03:45] <Hasrat_USA> dj-fu can you show an example?
[03:46] <exs> jk_:  On the 'default' file within '/etc/apache2/sites-available', upon right clicking the file, and selecting the permissions tab, I get 'you are not the owner'
[03:46] <HOT> mescon: when you format the disk you get a list of destructive and non destructive fs you can use for instance i think ext4 is non destructive and can be dynamically resized, we use reiserfs, i know that works for sure
[03:46] <jk_> exs: edit it as root
[03:46] <Tom47> does anyone know how to get access to the floppy drive in ubuntu?
[03:46] <jk_> exs: sudo or gksudo
[03:46] <Hasrat_USA> floppy drive in 2007? oh god!
[03:46] <mescon> ah... I've been doing Debian on alot of servers I administer, and using Win XP as workstation (because my previous attempt at using GNU/Linux as workstation had me all worked up about glx, xinerama and dri incompability on Radeon cards)...
[03:47] <GaiaX11> Tom47: Mount it
[03:47] <_nnx_> camer0ff: Do you have an entry in the menu about users and groups?
[03:47] <exs> jk_:  this is odd. I am able to open it via GUI, but when I go into terminal and 'gksudo gedit' nothing appears within the text file (as it should)
[03:47] <Tom47> GaiaiX11 its in my fstab
[03:47] <Arrick> is there anyone here that can help me setup a non-DC samba setup on 6.06.1 server install?
[03:47] <_nnx_> camer0ff: In Gnome/standard Ubuntu it's under System->Administration->Users and Groups
[03:47] <MrMakeveli> lets say i create a partition on a hard drive (lets call it hard drive #1) that has my /home folder in it and nothing else, and then have another hard drive with my normal root shit (hard drive #2). if i format or upgrade to fiesty on hard drive #2, what happens w/ my root?
[03:47] <HOT> mescon: it sounds like 6.10 server might be a better distro for you, has a nice precomiled LAMP for you , with fairly sane security defaults
[03:47] <Arrick> I installed it, but the comments and man are making my brain mush
[03:47] <mzanfardino> Having trouble converting an mp4 file from 320x240 to 720x480.  The problem appears to be an audio codec. specifically I get an error: Unsupported codec (id=86018) for input stream #0.1 which refers to my audio stream.  Any ideas?
[03:47] <dj-fu> Hasrat_USA: what do you mean an example? a LOCAL user
[03:47] <camer0ff> _nnx_, i found users and groups
[03:47] <thespore> chili555, you still there?
[03:48] <mescon> HOT: now that I finally saw a distrobution that I felt wouldn't get in the way of what I was actually trying to do, the Xinerama bugs had been worked out and so on, I gave edgy eft a try and I must say I fell in love with it from day one
[03:48] <Hasrat_USA> dj-fo no. i want to know what you wanted to imply by saying 'shell access'
[03:48] <yuricurri> I have installed ubuntu 7.04 on vmware to try it out, and during the installation I entered a password and retyped it, but when the installation was complete and I booted up, it asks for a username, and then password...
[03:48] <_nnx_> _nnx_ : Alright, go there.  Then you should see a listing of the users, do you?
[03:48] <yuricurri> well, i dont know what username
[03:48] <yuricurri> i tried root, etc..
[03:48] <chili555> thespore yessir
[03:48] <Hasrat_USA> dj-fo i have access to my own shell, which is called 'konsole'
[03:48] <_nnx_> camer0ff: Oops.  ALright, go there.  then you should see a lsiting of the users, do you?
[03:48] <dj-fu> Hasrat_USA: you're a retard, go and die
[03:48] <thespore> chili555, the driver i installed is rt73.. but if i modprobe rt73 it says it's not found
[03:48] <mescon> got 24 servers running debian, but instead of learning Windows-stuff and Debian stuff simultaneously I can focus on a debian based system both for my workstation and for the servers
[03:48] <dj-fu> that's a terminal emulator, not a shell.
[03:49] <jpsamara> Hi] 
[03:49] <camer0ff> _nnx_, yep... just wondering how i get to keep the files that are currently under /home/oem/
[03:49] <Hasrat_USA> dj-fu then what's a shell?
[03:49] <chili555> thespore sudo modprobe rt73?
[03:49] <yuricurri> can anyone help me please
[03:49] <thespore> chili555, yeah a wiki page told me to..
[03:49] <dj-fu> Hasrat_USA: /bin/bash? /bin/sh? /bin/zsh? /bin/csh?
[03:49] <MrMakeveli> !anyone
[03:49] <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?
[03:49] <dj-fu> and a plethora of others?
[03:49] <camer0ff> _nnx_, and what would my group and id be?
[03:49] <billy> how can you make panel text white?
[03:49] <dj-fu> seriously, learn2google
[03:50] <francois> is it possible to install breezy from the livecd ?
[03:50] <Hasrat_USA> oh mine is /bin/bash
[03:50] <HOT> mescon: well sounds like you know what your doing :) on board raid can be more than enough for most recovery scenarios, i guess im just saying LVM offers a level of disk fluidity thats a nice to ahve
[03:50] <MrMakeveli> Question: lets say i create a partition on a hard drive (lets call it hard drive #1) that has my /home folder in it and nothing else, and then have another hard drive with my normal root shit (hard drive #2). if i format or upgrade to fiesty on hard drive #2, what happens w/ my root?
[03:50] <chili555> thespore is it a usb device?
[03:50] <jk_> dj-fu this "Ignore" feature of xchat is great, isn't it ?
[03:50] <jk_> :)
[03:50] <thespore> chili555, yes
[03:50] <_nnx_> camer0ff: Well, I'm not sure it's the same in Xubuntu and Ubuntu, but, with Ubuntu, you select the user you want to change.  Then, you go to Properties.  Then change the name, and then go to Advanced and make sure /home/oem is still your home directory.  That changes your name but leaves the home directory intact.
[03:50] <dj-fu> heh, rather.
[03:50] <dj-fu> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_(computers)
[03:50] <yuricurri> I have installed ubuntu 7.04 on vmware to try it out, and during the installation I entered a password and retyped it, but when the installation was complete and I booted up, it asks for a username, and then password...
[03:50] <mangojambo> people, I'm having a problem with a usb multi-card reader ... Doesn't mount! Do someone knows something about it ?
[03:50] <Hasrat_USA> damn i'm such a noob
[03:51] <Hasrat_USA> lol
[03:51] <camer0ff> _nnx_, yeah that is what i was thinking... was hoping to get it transfered
[03:51] <chili555> thespore it may be sudo modprobe rt73usb
[03:51] <camer0ff> _nnx_, oh well.. thank you for the help though :)
[03:51] <_nnx_> camer0ff: Well, if that's the case, what you could do is...
[03:51] <mescon> 14 gameservers, 1 DNS+gateway+mail, 6 at work (SQL, LDAP, Web, Mail, DNS, CUPS)  with hardware RAID, offsite backups every 2 hours) and 3 at home for various things *cough*, and now I'm installing the new server for the apartment complex
[03:51] <_nnx_> camer0ff: Load up a terminal before you do this.
[03:51] <jk_> yuricurri: always remember, you can boot into single user mode and be root on any linux machine you're in front of
[03:51] <dj-fu> offsite backups every 2 hours?
[03:51] <mescon> HOT, yeah, I should probably learn more about it
[03:51] <_nnx_> camer0ff: Then, switch the user name and the directory name.
[03:51] <Zambezi> chili555, It's a Brother HL2030 with USB-connection. It's installed on my Dapperserver.
[03:51] <dj-fu> I'm at a datacentre and we don't even backup that much.
[03:52] <_nnx_> camer0ff: Then IMMEDIATELY afterwards go to the terminal, and type -> sudo mv /home/oem /home/mynewhomedirectoryname
[03:52] <mescon> HOT, I never get the time to learn though... I'm so busy just keeping all the servers up and maintaining all the services
[03:52] <trpr> jk_: thats what a grub password is for
[03:52] <_nnx_> camer0ff: Followed by sudo ln /home/oem /home/mynewdirectoryname
[03:52] <_nnx_> ER, wait
[03:52] <jk_> trpr: or a bios password
[03:52] <HOT> mescon: thats always the problem, vmware helps a lot though if you just want to play
[03:52] <_nnx_> camer0ff: Followed by sudo ln -s /home/oem /home/mynewdirectoryname
[03:52] <MrMakeveli> lets say i create a partition on a hard drive (lets call it hard drive #1) that has my /home folder in it and nothing else, and then have another hard drive with my normal root shit (hard drive #2). if i format or upgrade to fiesty on hard drive #2, what happens w/ my root?
[03:52] <chili555> Zambezi and its been configured properly and prints a test page?
[03:53] <trpr> jk_: *nod* had forgotten about that.. Could just alter bios settings to boot from another drive
[03:53] <Hasrat_USA> ok dj-fu, so, a local attacker is someone who/whoever can illegally gain access to the shell, right? and even if the attacker gains access to the shell from the internet but doesn't have physical access to my system, he still would be called 'local attacker, right?
[03:53] <_nnx_> camer0ff: That SHOULD (note I say SHOULD) work.  I don't think any of your data will be screwed up in any case, though, but things might get screwy if it gets messed up.
[03:53] <mescon> HOT, I could talk to you about the gameservers and how they are connected to an SMS gateway (as in cellphone textmessages), keeping track of payments, activating gameservers and stopping them on time, rsync setups and so on
[03:53] <mescon> oh
[03:53] <jk_> trpr: i've been able to get around bios pwds too though
[03:53] <HOT> dj-fu: we always do real time mirroring , i think i would get bitch slapped if we risked anything else :)
[03:53] <_nnx_> camer0ff: I'd immediately log out and then log back in anyway, though.
[03:53] <camer0ff> _nnx_, i guess i could always do sudo mv -r /home/oem/*; chown * <username>?
[03:53] <mescon> two ftp-servers with the meanest loadbalancing scheme ever
[03:53] <mescon> :)
[03:53] <jk_> trpr: basically, if someone has physical access, it's game over
[03:53] <mescon> completely custom
[03:53] <_nnx_> camer0ff: chown shouldn't be necessary.
[03:53] <cara> Hi all
[03:53] <cara> is this where I can get help with the livecd?
[03:53] <trpr> jk_: right. thats what that little reset jumper is for. :\ gawd you really do have to lock it up
[03:53] <_nnx_> camer0ff: IIRC file systems hold ownership by user ID #, not name.
[03:54] <HOT> mescon: sounds good, we heavily bastardised nagios to take care of most of the back end alerts for us
[03:54] <mescon> HOT, didn't find anything suited for my needs... two machines on two separate 100mbit fibers in two geographically diverse locations...
[03:54] <camer0ff> _nnx_, ah okay
[03:54] <mescon> hehe
[03:54] <dj-fu> Hasrat_USA: a local user is a user who already has access to your system, through normal means (/etc/passwd, etc). be it an ftp account, shell account or whatever.
[03:54] <bruenig> _nnx_, it is by name
[03:54] <_nnx_> camer0ff: So i'd just move the directory (rename it, in other words) and install a symbolic link, to sum it up.
[03:54] <mescon> I usually end up writing things from scratch if I just want some specific function instead of trying to alter some code that is bloated with other functions
[03:54] <Tom47> GaiaX11 i tried "sudo mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0" but its just gone into turtle mode
[03:54] <camer0ff> _nnx_, why the link?
[03:54] <chili555> Hasrat_USA or telnet or ssh
[03:55] <mescon> i soooo wanna tell you about the FTP setup because I'm proud of it :P
[03:55] <_nnx_> bruenig: That's news to me.  Huh.
[03:55] <addams> Feisty fawn will put Linux on the map
[03:55] <addams> I just installed the beta
[03:55] <bruenig> _nnx_, I just jumped in on this, are you talking about chown
[03:55] <addams> all i can say is wow!
[03:55] <_nnx_> camer0ff: In case any persnickity applications decided to hard-store your home directory for one reason or another.
[03:55] <jk_> addams: i have the beta too. .. haven't noticed huge differences
[03:55] <mescon> taking care of videolan.org downloads, mozilla.org downloads and alot of the files that our hosted sites have
[03:55] <jk_> addams: not to say much work hasn't gone into it. but as a user ...
[03:55] <_nnx_> bruenig: We're talking about if, if a user name were changed, if everything would need to be re-chowned from the old user name to the new user name, keeping in mind that the user ID # would be the same.  For instance, I changed my login name from foo1 to foo2, and changed nothing else.
[03:56] <camer0ff> _nnx_, okay... also noticed that i dont have any files that i want to keep in home... so
[03:56] <exs> guys, is the 'sudo' (for my username) the same as 'root' ? .. because  I'm trying to edit the '/etc/apache2/sites-available/default' file in apache2, but it's not letting me.
[03:56] <_nnx_> camer0ff: If that's the case...
[03:56] <HOT> mescon: we use off the shelf Cisco kit for replication but a "cheap" solution is good old rsync#
[03:56] <_nnx_> camer0ff: I'd just make a new user.
[03:56] <bruenig> _nnx_, oh
[03:56] <addams> jk_ at any rate i'm impressed so far, maybe  some bugs will crop up
[03:56] <Hasrat_USA> oh okay dj-fu. so my last question is: if there is no user in my system except me and 'root' (which i never use) and my system is connected to high-speed broadband connection 24/7 and up and running and rarely shutdown or restarted, do i have to update the kernel or worry about doing it?
[03:56] <jk_> exs: just su to root and then edit it
[03:56] <camer0ff> _nnx_, still do the link though?
[03:56] <_nnx_> camer0ff: Nah.
[03:56] <jk_> exs: purists will tell you that's bad but it'll get you where you want to be
[03:56] <_nnx_> camer0ff: Just leave the OEM account to rot.
[03:56] <gunny01> can anyone point me to a tutorial on how to dual boot OSX and ubuntu on a macbook?
[03:56] <exs> jk_:  it tells me the password is wrong upon using 'su'
[03:57] <jk_> exs: sudo su password
[03:57] <bruenig> exs, su is not enabled by default at least
[03:57] <HOT> Hasrat_USA: there is a line of though which states if it aint broke dont try to fix it
[03:57] <corden> HELP!!! Using SE K610i mobile phone as modem in Ubuntu.
[03:57] <Rule34> C-C-C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER?
[03:57] <trpr> exs: use sudo.. the root password isn't set by default; therefore no su
[03:57] <dj-fu> lol. combo breaker
[03:57] <_nnx_> camer0ff: Give it an insane password if there's any security concerns, once you're sure you don't need OEM anymore (be SURE to test the new account out with sudo beforehand).
[03:57] <mescon> HOT, the cisco-kit acts as a reverse proxy, yes? so loadbalancing effects are mainly lower cpu/mem per server, but the bandwidth is still limited to the link that the cisco-box has
[03:57] <mescon> correct, or have i missed something?
[03:57] <exs> trpr:  but sudo isn't allowing me to edit the default file in apache
[03:57] <bruenig> corden, we hear you the other 5 times, stop spamming, your question isn't even a question
[03:57] <trpr> exs: sudo -s
[03:57] <jk_> addams: the desktop affects integration is nice
[03:58] <camer0ff> _nnx_, hmm... why not just delete oem?
[03:58] <Tom47> anyone any ideas on how to mount a floppy ....?
[03:58] <HOT> mescon: cisco IOS takes care of all that, you basically just define balance on a port basis and it does the rest, fire and foget stuff
[03:58] <_nnx_> camer0ff: That's my own paranoia speaking.  I usually leave such things dead in-place in case there's something I forgot that's gonna bite me in the butt.
[03:58] <harry_> is there a way to estimate how many people are using ubuntu?
[03:58] <NessieLiberation> 7638450
[03:58] <_nnx_> camer0ff: However, when making the new user, again, be absolutely certain you can use sudo from it.
[03:58] <HOT> my estimation is 32335115.2
[03:58] <mescon> yeah, but you have to have all machines connected to it by TP-link right?
[03:59] <NessieLiberation> i was thinking 239874 + 29488i
[03:59] <_nnx_> camer0ff: Because if you can't and you've disabled or deleted OEM, you're fux0red and will have to use a rescue CD and manually edit /etc/passwd
[03:59] <exs> ok got it working now guys, thanks
[03:59] <corden> Sorry about that
[03:59] <bruenig> I was going to go with 500,000pi
[03:59] <camer0ff> _nnx_, was just thinking.... i wrote down something before... when i was installing...
[03:59] <_nnx_> camer0ff: And probably some other not-so-fun stuff
[03:59] <Tom47> harry_u i would be surprised if canonical dont have a reasonably good idea from people accessing the repos
[03:59] <mescon> my version is something like DNS-roundrobin, except its not random... (50/50)
[03:59] <_nnx_> camer0ff: Wrote what down?
[03:59] <NessieLiberation> any maths uni student here?
[03:59] <chili555> 7+E9
[03:59] <mescon> HOT, my version is something like DNS-roundrobin, except its not random... (50/50)
[03:59] <HOT> mescon: are you running border protocol?
[03:59] <dual0006> hello people
[03:59] <mescon> no, let me tell you
[03:59] <Rule34> I like mudkips
[03:59] <jk_> harry: http://counter.li.org/
[04:00] <camer0ff> _nnx_, i am not sure... not even sure where i put it... i used the alternate cd for feisty... installed the OEM version..
[04:00] <NessieLiberation> what is it that they call i j and k when you get to uni?
[04:00] <jk_> harry: go register yourself
[04:00] <NessieLiberation> E0 E1 E2 ?
[04:00] <corden> Is there any other way to establish dial-up connection without using Username and Password - Just only the dial-up number. tnx
[04:00] <Hasrat_USA> harry_: currently 13207 users took the time to register themselves with the official/unofficial ubuntu counter to confirm that they are valid Ubuntu users and I'm user no. 12312
[04:00] <eternaljoy> corden hello
[04:01] <camer0ff> _nnx_, found it...
[04:01] <mescon> HOT, so, here's the deal... in western sweden I happened to get some space in a rack, 2U below the core-router of Bredbandsbolaget (a large Swedish ISP)... so I thought: "Hey, I can get unlimited uncapped 100Mbit fiber from them for free", so I put in a machine there
[04:01] <NessieLiberation> i didnt register yet
[04:01] <mescon> AND
[04:01] <camer0ff> _nnx_, sudo oem-config-prepare
[04:01] <NessieLiberation> and i know another user who isnt registered
[04:01] <corden> hello eternaljoy
[04:01] <camer0ff> _nnx_, i guess i will see how that goes...
[04:01] <_nnx_> camer0ff: What does that do?  Did it say?
[04:01] <harry_> is there an estimate of the people who didn't register?
[04:01] <camer0ff> _nnx_, it said to run it after the machine was set up :S
[04:02] <mescon> HOT, in Kista (stockholm) were our co-location facility is, connected by DCS.net, we have another "spare" 100Mbit out on a 10Gbps nordic backbone (1Gbps peering all over the world except the obvious places)
[04:02] <_nnx_> camer0ff: Ah.  Then you should run it, yes.
[04:02] <bruenig> harry_, you don't quite understand the concept of registering do you
[04:02] <NessieLiberation> 83789 * pi
[04:02] <mescon> HOT, so, they have nothing to do with each other network-wise
[04:02] <camer0ff> _nnx_, lol.. sorry for putting you through that.. but thanks for the help :)
[04:02] <jk_> harry: one could perhaps extrapolate from weblog stats
[04:02] <Hasrat_USA> harry_: i bet that would be a little less than a half billion of people
[04:02] <_nnx_> camer0ff: No problem.  Good luck.
[04:02] <bruenig> divide digg users by 5 and that is a good approximation
[04:03] <The3Infinit3On3> Hey everyone, I have the Razer Barracuda AC-1 soundcard and it doe not have any Linux drivers but I was wondering if anyone had gotten it working somehow or perhaps knows a way I might be able to get it working?
[04:03] <jk_> bruenig: lol
[04:03] <mescon> HOT, so, here it is:
[04:03] <HOT> heh@bruenig
[04:03] <jk_> bruenig: they should post people's os next to their slashdot comments
[04:04] <bruenig> jk, but with some autodetecter so that all the frauds can be exposed
[04:04] <ror> is there a quick way to switch to 16bpp?
[04:04] <jk_> bruenig: Anonymous Coward (os: win2k) Score (-2) Yea well WINDOWZ SUCKS!
[04:04] <bruenig> jk, exactly
[04:04] <harry_> bruenig: No, I do, but obviously not everyone registers. Is there a way to extrapolate from, say, cd image downloads, or something an estimate of the # of ubuntu machines out there?
[04:04] <HOT> i know 7 peeps that would convert to linux today if they could play games on it
[04:04] <gregcha117> can someone tell me how to set my monitor to 1280x1024, its missing, i tryed adding it to the xorg.conf file but it doesnt seem to be appearing
[04:04] <mescon> HOT, http://ftp.endpoint.nu = 217.118.215.117, http://ftp.endpoint.nu/pub/$FILE == mod_rewrite to http://go.yi.se/http://ftp[$1] .endpoint.nu/pub/$FILE, http://go.yi.se has mod_rewrite and reads the load from ftp1 and ftp2 every 5 seconds and directs you to ftp1 or ftp2 depending on current load
[04:05] <bruenig> harry_, I don't see how, I mean there is no real logical way to do it, you can guess but that is all it will be
[04:05] <snowpunk98> what would be the best way to move a .tar off my ubuntu server to my ubuntu desktop
[04:05] <diabolix> does anyone know where to get the murrina theme for metacity?
[04:05] <mescon> HOT: ftp1 = 217.118.215.179 (same network), ftp2 = 213.115.0.11 (at the core router of bredbandsbolaget)
[04:05] <jk_> harry: you're not the first to think of counting.  http://digg.com/linux_unix/8_million_Ubuntu_users_Then_get_counted
[04:05] <xtknight> diabolix,  murrina theme engine?
[04:05] <bruenig> snowpunk98, wget it and then delete it off the server?
[04:05] <diabolix> xtknight: no, the metacity theme.
[04:05] <HOT> mescon: thats a very clean way to balance, i like it
[04:05] <addams> In Feisty Fawn, how do I get the weather map to work?
[04:06] <xtknight> addams, which one?
[04:06] <addams> beta
[04:06] <xtknight> addams, gnome weather applet?
[04:06] <addams> i'm not sure, i thought some weather thing came standard
[04:06] <NkZ> Greetings.
[04:06] <xtknight> addams, same as in edgy.  go to the preferences and set the town in which you live.  enable the radar and save the prefs.
[04:07] <mescon> HOT: its fast as hell... go.yi.se redirects approx 200k downloads per day, but each request takes less than a second... the content is synced by rsync as you might have suspected
[04:07] <xtknight> addams, right click the weather thing and go to prefrences
[04:07] <snowpunk98> bruenig, I do not have Apache setup
[04:07] <bruenig> snowpunk98, I say to set it up then
[04:07] <mescon> HOT: the only drawback is that mod_rewrite uses 302 Redirect, which apt-get doesn't understand, so it doesn't work as an apt-get repository
[04:07] <HOT> mescon: tweaking rsync to behave itself is an art imho, i have spent days on that
[04:07] <addams> mine doesn't have weather that i can see
[04:07] <mescon> hehe, tell me about it :P
[04:07] <addams> maybe i'm screwed up in the head
[04:08] <mescon> all content is synced once an hour
[04:08] <NkZ> I have a problem with my Xconfig. It starts all right if I run the 6.10 (Something) kernel (I choose it from the GRUB) but the X fails to load if I run it on an upper version of the kernel. I installed the Nvidia drivers following the Forums how to.
[04:08] <mescon> HOT, if any of the admins of the sites we host needs to get a file up and synced directly (to allow for public download), they can initiate a sync by entering http://sync.ftp.endpoint.nu (password protected of course)
[04:08] <vio> i managed to remove my "systemtray" from panel by "pressing" remove from panel, how can i retrive it?
[04:09] <mescon> everything is properly logged in W3C format
[04:09] <bruenig> vio, right click on the panel, select add the panel, add the notification applet
[04:09] <mescon> and graphed by awstats
[04:09] <mescon> :)
[04:09] <vio> bruenig:  what would i do without u
[04:09] <vio> !opsnack | bruenig
[04:09] <ubotu> bruenig: Chocolate!  And Peanuts!
[04:09] <bruenig> vio, that should be something you figure out on your own
[04:09] <numist> opsnack?  that's a new one
[04:09] <HOT> mescon: biggest problem with rsync is trying to help people understand the danger of using a bit level replicator, what filesystem journal are you using?
[04:09] <xtknight> addams, lol
[04:09] <NkZ> I have a problem with my Xconfig. It starts all right if I run the 6.10 (Something) kernel (I choose it from the GRUB) but the X fails to load if I run it on an upper version of the kernel. I installed the Nvidia drivers following the Forums how to.
[04:09] <vio> i've tried everything, and i prob will ^^, some day
[04:09] <bruenig> when in doubt, right click on it
[04:09] <xtknight> addams, what weather are you speaking of?
[04:09] <xtknight> how did you get the weather map?
[04:10] <xtknight> addams, if you want the weather map, right click the top panel and do Add To Panel.  then choose Weather
[04:10] <addams> the weather map
[04:10] <HOT> mescon: filesystem choices can really come back to haunt you if you get it wrong
[04:10] <addams> If you want to set-up local weather map on your ubuntu desktop it is very easy in ubuntu feisty.Sample screenshot as follows
[04:10] <vio> bruenig:  thank you very much :)
[04:10] <gregcha117> can someone tell me how to get my 1280x1024 resolution back?
[04:10] <h3h_timo> jrib, i figured something out
[04:10] <xtknight> !fixres
[04:10] <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
[04:10] <h3h_timo> just takes alot to install
[04:11] <vio> i wasted about 2-3 hours on that.. ^^,
[04:11] <h3h_timo> have to run the same command over and over to get everything downloaded
[04:11] <snowpunk98> bruenig, Thanks that worked, I got it
[04:11] <mescon> I use reiserfs for the FTP userland, ext3 for system, ext2 for /boot
[04:11] <xtknight> addams, link?
[04:11] <h3h_timo> does anyone know why amarok wont play mp3 files but i can play them in totem??
[04:11] <mescon> HOT, though none of our users can directly interact with the filesystem
[04:11] <mescon> HOT, the FTP-filesystem
[04:11] <addams> xknight: http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2007/03/ubuntu-704-feisty-fawn-beta-preview.html
[04:12] <xtknight> addams, yes.  its' the gnome wather applet.  Add it to the panel
[04:12] <ian__> hello ppl.
[04:12] <HOT> mescon: good choices, altough reiser has seem really weird quirks imho, IBM and Dell wont touch it at the moment, they are ext3 or nothing
[04:12] <mjr> I wouldn't touch reiser either
[04:12] <Puppy_> Has anyone got Google Earth to work? My Google Earth does not work. Can anyone help?
[04:12] <xtknight> addams, to get the dialog they show, you right click the gnome weather applet (after adding it to the panel), and click Details to show the full weather map and details
[04:12] <mjr> not really what I'd call reliable
[04:13] <ian__> i have activated desktop effect in my feisty fawn what shall i press to see the cube?
[04:13] <addams> thanks xlknight
[04:13] <addams> I just got it
[04:13] <mescon> HOT, they upload to /chroot/$USER/ftp.. once every 5 minutes it checks if $USER has an open ftp connection, if it does, then dont do anything, if $USER does NOT have an open ftp-connection, then run clamav on the files, if pass, move to /chroot/sync/, when the secondary server has synced from that folder, send a signal back to the master server, which then puts the file in /chroot/ftp (public file area)
[04:13] <addams> ok now how do I change the location ?
[04:14] <xtknight> addams, right click preferences
[04:14] <mescon> HOT, so, all files that site admins upload undergo a clamav check, its moved to a temporary location waiting to be synced, when its done, move to the public area (so that both files appear at 100% filesize on both servers at the same time)
[04:14] <HOT> mescon: clamav is a nice to have but not in a commercial grade solution, but maybe that can change in the future
[04:14] <mescon> HOT, yeah... low income company I have on the side
[04:15] <mescon> Endpoint is just for game-server rental and for something to challenge my mind with
[04:15] <addams> wow xtknight
[04:15] <addams> I got it
[04:15] <addams> Feisty fawn is incredible
[04:15] <HOT> nah vista is better
[04:16] <addams> omg
[04:16] <xtknight> ;p
[04:16] <addams> this radar map is awesome
[04:16] <ian__> hello pll. what shall i press to see cube effects?
[04:16] <mescon> HOT, stuff at work is usually the same... all clients use a fubar Delphi client to manage daily operations... it works with a central SQL server as a backend... all offices are connected by VPN so the data is loaded live from the SQL server
[04:16] <xtknight> addams,  edgy had the weather applet too
[04:16] <xtknight> lol
[04:16] <addams> doh!
[04:16] <_nnx_> addams: Do tell, to someone who's too cowardly to try it on his machine until it's full up released?
[04:16] <HOT> mescon: openswan for vpn?
[04:16] <mescon> openvpn
[04:16] <mescon> NAT-to-NAT
[04:17] <mescon> 1 HQ, 3 sattelite offices
[04:17] <ror> it's the xeffects stuff that is really sweet, having it all there with zero configuration to be done by the user
[04:17] <mescon> all clients and two of the servers at work are windows though :/
[04:17] <HOT> _nnx_:  be brave and dive in, i like feisty so much i installed it in all the critical life support machines at the local hospital
[04:17] <addams> honestly
[04:17] <addams> If I owned m$sft stock
[04:17] <addams> I'd sell it
[04:18] <cafuego> What makes you think anyone would buy it off you?
[04:18] <addams> hah
[04:18] <mescon> HOT, if the company I work for would just get the custom app (built for us by contractors) ported to C/C++ or Java, we could skip windows altogether... all we really need for the clients is Word, Excel and WinTL (the custom app).
[04:18] <HOT> mescon: i really dont have patience for openvpn , just do everything in ios, its hard to make the commercial argument for ipsec when everyone wants PTP
[04:18] <addams> Well ubuntu was better than xp, but I think feisty makes it bar-none the best system I've used yet
[04:18] <mescon> that way we could cut licensing costs by ALOT
[04:19] <mescon> HOT, we dont have any roadwarrior configuration setup... if a sales-rep wanna connect back to the office, they use Terminal Services right now... most of the sales work is done inhouse anyway
[04:19] <zYe_> can anyone help me fix my open gl
[04:19] <robert_> my primary server computer can't access the Internet- help
[04:19] <HOT> mescon: makes sense a lot of the time
[04:20] <Cosmo_>  I am trying to install the VPN for my job using these instructions https://216.241.173.165/full_linux_instructions.html but it keeps giving me this error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15047/ can anyone help me?
[04:20] <nuts0002> Question: trying to get Flash to work with Firefox, running under 64bit Ubuntu
[04:20] <gregcha117> i cant change my resolution to 1280x1024
[04:20] <zYe_> help with open gl!
[04:20] <HOT> i keep harping on, if some big companies get together 10M to get directx 9 totally working in any nix variant im sure there would be mass migration
[04:20] <HOT> grumble grumble
[04:21] <camer0ff> _nnx_, i guess it worked :)
[04:21] <eternal_p> Cosmo_ are you "sudo" your install?
[04:21] <Cosmo_> yes
[04:21] <HOT> nuts0002: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-flash-java-realplayer-under-64bit-firefox.html
[04:22] <eternal_p> where it says "detected Linux--unknown" I wonder if it doesn't know how to build..
[04:22] <mescon> HOT, if there's something I'm happy about, its that our CEO looked at Windows Vista and thought it was counter-productive, introduces a new learning curve, adds no production value, has higher licensing costs and "probably has alot of security holes" :)
[04:23] <Ademan> is it just me or is facebook now using tango icons?
[04:23] <HOT> mescon: the thing i really like about vista
[04:23] <Cosmo_> HOT: I think the issue is more of getting software companies to quit relying on Direct x
[04:23] <mescon> HOT, and then added "I wish we didn't have to pay all these licensing costs"
[04:23] <HOT> is the box helps keep my monitor level
[04:23] <mescon> :P
[04:23] <Cosmo_> lol
[04:23] <HOT> Cosmo_: not really going to happen dx10 is so tied to the hardware level ati and nvidia are not going to move "backwards"
[04:24] <eternal_p> Cosmo_: they tried that with opengl...
[04:24] <mescon> I actually used an un-opened "ASP for dummies" book as a monitor stand back when I had a 21 CRT and a 17 CRT (the 17" needed to get in level with the 21 vertically)
[04:24] <nuts0002> HOT: thx I will try that
[04:24] <HOT> nuts0002: sorry meant to say, use the ubuntu specific link down the page
[04:24] <addams> ok
[04:25] <addams> I've lost my ability to switch between work spaces some how
[04:25] <addams> how do I turn it back on?
[04:25] <stephen> hello
[04:25] <HOT> if the business world had the will, the act of actually reverse engineering dx10 or 9 would take a few months
[04:25] <MrMakeveli> hey you guys know of any standalone flash players? i have some kinda book in an swf that i need, and i think i've played swf on one of my media players, but this doesnt need to be played, but interacte with
[04:25] <addams> n/m
[04:25] <trev_> does anyone know how to run azureus as root so I can let it update itself?
[04:25] <addams> I figured it out
[04:26] <HOT> look at vmware 6 or whatever brings in 3d support, cant remember now...
[04:26] <MrMakeveli> trev_: cant you just sudo azureus     in a terminal?
[04:26] <eternal_p> trev_ from the command line, do a sudo /fullpath/azureus
[04:26] <trev_> thx
[04:26] <mescon> the only thing that MIGHT change things with Direct X is if there is an "open source" alternative that is better, has alot of documentation and support companies surrounding it
[04:26] <stephen> MrMakeveli
[04:27] <mescon> MrMakeveli, none comes to mind, but you could always use Wine
[04:27] <stephen> libflash-swfplayer
[04:27] <eternal_p> mescon: supply and demand, as long as people buy vista (see dx10) that is where the buisness go, regardless of what is 'better'
[04:27] <stephen> sudo apt-get install libflash-swfplayer
[04:27] <ardchoille> !offtopic
[04:27] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!

[04:27] <exs>  In /etc/apache2/sites-available/default, I have (all that is in there) is '"DocumentRoot" </home/engle/serverhttp/>' Now, within serverhttp folder is my simple 'index.html' with some content. The online address to my ip is http://85.210.53.230/ yet, when you go there, I am confronted with the default apache file listing, and upon entering 'apache2 default' I do not see my index.html. Thanks
[04:27] <HOT> i think with all this hypervisor stuff going on with the new cpu's there is no reason why linux couldnt run windows bins with no loss
[04:27] <MrMakeveli> stephen: now what wil lthat give me?
[04:27] <apecat> how do i list available wlans/ssids in a console?
[04:27] <trev_> eternal_p:how do I find out the fullpath to it
[04:27] <ian__> hello pll. what shall i press to see cube effects?
[04:28] <MrMakeveli> trev_: find azureus
[04:28] <cafuego> HOT: Correct, if only microsoft would give useful documentation to the developers who care.
[04:28] <trev_> thx
[04:28] <mescon> eternal_p, true.... betamax vs vhs.... porn industry says "VHS ftw!", techies say "Betamax ftw!"... which format prevailed? :)
[04:28] <MrMakeveli> i think
[04:28] <eternal_p> trev_ from a terminal, first do a sudo updatedb when its done locate azureus
[04:28] <HOT> trev_: "find \ -n "azuereus"
[04:28] <robert_> I'm running 6.06
[04:28] <MrMakeveli> thanks hot
[04:28] <stephen> exs, why are you trying to put your index.html in apache2-default?
[04:28] <robert_> (on my server)
[04:28] <ardchoille> trev_: which azureus
[04:28] <eternal_p> mescon: exactly...DX isn't going anywhere
[04:28] <trev_> ardchoille:the one automatix installs
[04:28] <robert_> the internet just went out on it
[04:28] <MrMakeveli> trev: see HOT
[04:28] <eternal_p> I'm sure someone will get DX10 going on wine one of these days :)
[04:28] <ardchoille> !automatix | trev_
[04:28] <ubotu> trev_: 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
[04:29] <mescon> trev_, another one is: find /* -name azureus (or find /* -iname azureus for case insensitive)
[04:29] <trev_> thx
[04:29] <eternal_p> locate is much quicker though :)
[04:29] <stephen> :)
[04:29] <MrMakeveli> eternal: i think locate is what i meant
[04:29] <mescon> eternal_p, if updatedb is up to date :)
[04:29] <eternal_p> sudo updatedb ;)
[04:29] <ardchoille> 'which azureus' should work regardless of who or what installed it.
[04:30] <MrMakeveli> hey you guys know of any standalone flash players? i have some kinda book in an swf that i need, and i think i've played swf on one of my media players, but this doesnt need to be played, but interacte with
[04:30] <trev_> had no idea automatix did all that stuff, next time ill take the extra 20 minites to do it manually
[04:30] <mescon> whereis azureus works too
[04:30] <stephen> MrMake
[04:30] <stephen> i said before...

[04:32] <stephen> hmm
[04:32] <stephen> weird
[04:32] <bruenig> MrMakeveli, what are you trying to do, don't install that for flash
[04:32] <MrMakeveli> stephen: is it its own app?
[04:32] <ian__> what should i press for the cube effect? i have enable the effect.
[04:32] <stephen> maybe you could wine... and get SWFplayer
[04:32] <ian__> :)
[04:33] <Fonty> hi eternal, just a simple thing hopefully.. I want to know how to stop ubuntu from turning my monitor off during idle
[04:33] <bruenig> or are you on 64 bit
[04:33] <MrMakeveli> bruenig: i have flash support for one of my media players
[04:33] <HOT> ian__: i think ctrl + alt and left arrow ?
[04:33] <HOT> works on beryl...
[04:33] <Gumby> ian__: I think its ctrl+alt+left/right or click and drag desktop
[04:33] <MrMakeveli> bruenig: so thats ok. but what i need is one that doesnt just play flash videos, but also interactive ones
[04:33] <eternal_p> Fonty: system - prefrences - power prefrences
[04:33] <Gumby> ctrl+alt+click and drag desktop
[04:34] <stephen> yea, how do you get the cube?
[04:34] <eternal_p> sorry, power management
[04:34] <eternal_p> stephen: ctrl - alt- left mouse button
[04:34] <Fonty> yes power management, I've been in there
[04:34] <Fonty> I've set it to never put the computer to sleep
[04:34] <ian__> gumby: it does not work :(
[04:34] <HOT> ok, here is the killer feature of linux, being able to change the font DPI on the fly
[04:34] <MrMakeveli> bruenig: no ideas?
[04:34] <HOT> how hard is that in windows :(
[04:34] <stephen> eternal, but does it spin round a cube thing :(
[04:35] <eternal_p> Fonty: I believe the putting the computer to sleep is the smae thing
[04:35] <eternal_p> stephen: yup
[04:35] <bruenig> MrMakeveli, don't think such a thing exists
[04:35] <eternal_p> once you press all three, move your mouse around
[04:35] <Fonty> but it's already set to never eternal but it always does it
[04:35] <eternal_p> Fonty: then I'm not too sure actually
[04:35] <Fonty> okay thanks anyway eternal
[04:35] <eternal_p> Fonty: what video card do you have?
[04:36] <MrMakeveli> bruenig: you know how if you have a normal flash player in windows, you can watch videos or if its a game or interactive flash, you can operate it?
[04:36] <Fonty> I have no idea eternal how do I find that out?
[04:36] <eternal_p> Fonty: is it ATi, built in, nvidia, etc?
[04:36] <bruenig> MrMakeveli, revision:  don't think such a thing exists for linux (although I think I have a game that uses standalone flashplayer 6 or something really old
[04:36] <camer0ff> Is there any reason that when i used lynx to open www.google.com, AbiWord opened instead?
[04:36] <MrMakeveli> bruenig; oh ok so you know what im talking about. hmmmmm
[04:37] <Fonty> I don't really know eternal it just came with this pc
[04:37] <MrMakeveli> bruenig: because i have a swf of an ebook or something, and if i open it w/ a media player it kinda does weird things
[04:37] <MrMakeveli> haha
[04:37] <eternal_p> Fonty: system, administration, device manager
[04:37] <Fonty> yep
[04:38] <camer0ff> Is there any reason that when i used lynx to open www.google.com, AbiWord opened instead?

[04:48] <Gumby> Bawlsfuff: try kernel-headers
[04:48] <bruenig> Bawlsfuff, sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[04:48] <bruenig> Bawlsfuff, and apt-get install pakcage update is not correct syntax
[04:49] <bruenig> Bawlsfuff, you either sudo apt-get install something or you sudo apt-get update something you do not do that hybrid thing
[04:49] <bruenig> or rather sudo apt-get update updates the repos, not packages
[04:49] <Bawlsfuff> bruenig: I tried what you said, and it gave me the message: linux-headers-2.6.17-10-generic is already the newest version
[04:49] <addam2> well,
[04:50] <bruenig> Bawlsfuff, there you go
[04:50] <addam2> The cube effect in my feisty fawn quit working already
[04:50] <addam2> any ideas?
[04:50] <Bawlsfuff> bruenig: But I wanted to get 2.6.17-11, I thought that's the newest one out
[04:50] <bruenig> Bawlsfuff, right now you are using 10
[04:50] <Zambezi> Anyone know how to add a networkprinter installed with cups on another server?
[04:50] <Bawlsfuff> bruenig: Uh-huh...how do I get 11?
[04:50] <bruenig> Bawlsfuff, change it to sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.17-11-generic
[04:50] <dabaR> Zambezi: gnome-cups-add
[04:50] <Bawlsfuff> bruenig: Sorry, I'm a newb
[04:51] <Zambezi> dabaR, I know that, but what about the rest? ;-)
[04:51] <Bawlsfuff> bruenig: Comes back saying it couldn't find package linux-headers-2.6.17-11-generic
[04:51] <dabaR> Zambezi: click the add new printer icon
[04:52] <bruenig> !info linux-headers-2.6.17-11-generic
[04:52] <Zambezi> dabaR, But I don't know what I should write. IPP and that shit.
[04:52] <ubotu> linux-headers-2.6.17-11-generic: Linux kernel headers for version 2.6.17 on x86/x86_64. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.17.1-11.35 (edgy), package size 893 kB, installed size 24104 kB
[04:52] <bruenig> Bawlsfuff, it is in there
[04:52] <bruenig> Bawlsfuff, are you on dapper
[04:52] <Bawlsfuff> bruenig: I'm on edgy
[04:52] <bruenig> Bawlsfuff, it's there, sudo apt-get update and then do that command again
[04:52] <Bawlsfuff> bruenig: And I'm not currently on that computer, because I'm doing all this so my wireless card will work
[04:52] <dabaR> !cups
[04:52] <ubotu> Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[04:53] <dabaR> Zambezi: read some of that.
[04:53] <Bawlsfuff> bruenig: So update doesn't work because I can't connect to the internet
[04:53] <meal3837> anyone here familiar with intel's g965 chipset?
[04:53] <bruenig> Bawlsfuff, how do you expect to download software
[04:53] <Bawlsfuff> bruenig: I thought that 11 came with the cd...
[04:53] <bruenig> Bawlsfuff, apt-get downloads stuff from the interwebs and installs it
[04:54] <Bawlsfuff> bruenig: Wow.....well, that explains a ton, now doesn't it....
[04:54] <Bawlsfuff> bruenig: Is there somewhere I can download it from and then put it on a flash drive and install it on my linux computer?
[04:54] <bruenig> packages.ubuntu.com
[04:55] <Zambezi> dabaR, There's a problem. The printer is installed on a server without X. Every howto is for install on the same computer. :-/
[04:55] <Bawlsfuff> bruenig: And once I get it onto the computer, how do i install it? Or should I just come back here when I've gotten that far?
[04:55] <sachrioja> hi
[04:55] <bruenig> Bawlsfuff, sudo dpkg -i name.deb
[04:55] <NelsonLRuffmuff> bruenig: Sorry, I got kicked offline
[04:56] <NelsonLRuffmuff> bruenig: Haha, and it apparently changed my name as well
[04:56] <sachrioja> i have problems to configure midi in ubuntu
[04:56] <sachrioja> i need some help
[04:57] <NelsonLRuffmuff> bruenig: Which ones am I supposed to download?
[04:58] <robert_> okay
[04:58] <robert_> Im back
[04:58] <robert_> sorry
[04:59] <meal3837> !ich8
[04:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ich8 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:59] <robert_> eternal_p: it comes up with eth0, however I'm unable to ping the outside world
[04:59] <bruenig> NelsonLRuffmuff, the package called that
[05:00] <eternal_p> robert_ what IP does it have...what does netstat -rn say, are you static IP or dhcp, etc?
[05:00] <AlexC> every time i login in gnome it never gets past the splash, so i have to use failsafe gnome. What do i do to fix gnome to make it run normally?
[05:00] <robert_> I can't ping
[05:00] <NelsonLRuffmuff> bruenig: Okay, I found it, downloaded to a flash drive, its on the linux computer
[05:00] <robert_> I don't know why
[05:00] <bruenig> NelsonLRuffmuff, sudo dpkg -i whatever.deb
[05:00] <killerguy> how do i find what my mtu is set at in ubuntu
[05:00] <robert_> it's like I'm not plugged into the network at all
[05:01] <dabaR> robert_: are you on the same computer atm?
[05:01] <gireesh> AlexC: you might try creating a new userid and seeing if that one logs in fine
[05:01] <starz> ok ok ok
[05:02] <AlexC> gireesh: ok
[05:02] <robert_> the computer is right next to me, yes
[05:02] <quaal> does anyone have a breakout box for an nvidia video card
[05:02] <gireesh> breakout box?
[05:02] <quaal> yes.
[05:02] <gireesh> what is that?
[05:02] <LM1> boot from ubuntu edgy cd my computer wiggs out
[05:02] <quaal> for example http://images.tomshardware.com/2005/12/09/seven_of_nvidia/msi_breakoutbox.jpg
[05:02] <LM1> can anyone help
[05:02] <LM1> ?
[05:03] <quaal> LM1, press the de-wiggout button
[05:03] <NelsonLRuffmuff> bruenig: It says there's some sort of dependency problems....
[05:03] <LM1> :c
[05:03] <peepsalot> how can i know what command is actually running when gdm starts my desktop
[05:03] <bruenig> NelsonLRuffmuff, figured
[05:03] <dabaR> robert_: eternal_p asked you whether you have an IP address, shown as inet addr in the ifconfig output in the eth0.
[05:04] <dabaR> robert_: I did not see your answer.
[05:04] <robert_> yeah, I do
[05:04] <robert_> I assigned it manually though
[05:04] <dabaR> And this is a network with a router?
[05:04] <robert_> yes
[05:04] <LM1> it says cannot allocate resource region 1 of device 0000:00:14.0
[05:04] <dabaR> and why not get the IP with dhcp then?
[05:04] <LM1> does anyone know what that means
[05:04] <robert_> because it's a webserver
[05:05] <corden> guys what configurationg setting in wvdial so that i wont ask username and password
[05:05] <Paddy_EIRE> anyone know how to completely remove grub and then restore the vista boot loader
[05:05] <corden> tnx
[05:05] <dabaR> and you can not set up the staticness of the IP on the router, robert_ ?
[05:05] <gireesh> Paddy_EIRE: boot from the Vista disk and do an fdisk mbr
[05:05] <LM1> :C
[05:05] <robert_> hm, you mean set up a static route?
[05:05] <NelsonLRuffmuff> bruenig: So what do i do about that?
[05:05] <Cryoniq> Is it possible under Gnome to configure different backgrounds for each workspace?
[05:05] <robert_> based on the server's MAC address?
[05:05] <dabaR> LM1: is it a specific program that gives you that error?
[05:06] <dabaR> robert_: exactly.
[05:06] <Fathefner> my grub everytime i log to windows it messes up and i can get to any os
[05:06] <LM1> cannot allocate resource region 1 of device 0000:00:14.0
[05:06] <dabaR> not a routem, but to assign that MAC axddress a static IP.
[05:06] <LM1> trying to boot from livecd
[05:06] <robert_> hm, I never thought about that
[05:06] <Fathefner> r u talkin to me'
[05:06] <LM1> wont let me even if graphics safe mode
[05:06] <dabaR> robert_: try that ,.
[05:07] <NelsonLRuffmuff> bruenig: Any ideas?
[05:07] <dabaR> Fathefner: you logged into windows and you can no longer access the grub menu?
[05:07] <Fathefner> ya
[05:08] <Fathefner> like when i get off then i cant even get on window or ubuntu
[05:08] <Fathefner> the grub doesnt work any more
[05:08] <dabaR> Fathefner: and what do you do to fix it?
[05:08] <Fathefner> i reinstall
[05:08] <dabaR> Fathefner: or are you asking that now?
[05:08] <Fathefner> ubuntu
[05:08] <Fathefner> then it reinstalls the grub then i works
[05:08] <amarant_coral> What is the difference between installing ubuntu server edition and a command line install off the alternatve cd? besides the fact that there is no x in either.
[05:08] <dabaR> Fathefner: Tell us about your partition setup.
[05:09] <ian_> hello my wired network would not work for the first boot. i have to disable and enable the eth0. i tried to put it in the rc.local. but no luck. can somebody help me.? :(
[05:09] <gireesh> the alternative CD does have X
[05:09] <robert_> let's see if it'll let me do that without taking a crap on me
[05:09] <dabaR> amarant_coral: different kernel:)
[05:09] <amarant_coral> dabaR: Is that all it is? The server kernel?
[05:09] <gireesh> it allows you to install the bootloader on the root partition
[05:09] <robert_> dabaR: my router is pretty particular- it doesn't like changing settings without having me reboot the damn thing
[05:09] <dabaR> ian_: you want a command to get ran everytime you boot, right?
[05:09] <Fathefner> i just have an extra hd that i installed it onto
[05:09] <dabaR> amarant_coral: ya.
[05:09] <amarant_coral> gireesh: Yes, it does have x, but it doesn't install it if you install the command line version
[05:09] <Paddy_EIRE> this is looking bad, trying to remove grub and restore the vista boot loader.. fixboot /mbr fdisk /fixboot and as many other commands care not to work
[05:09] <robert_> hm
[05:09] <dabaR> amarant_coral: to some people it is a sufficient difference.
[05:09] <amarant_coral> dabaR: thank you
[05:09] <robert_> could it be there are packet collisions?
[05:10] <gireesh> Fathefner: it is easy to repair an install of grub
[05:10] <dabaR> amarant_coral: AFAIK.
[05:10] <ian_> dabR: yes.
[05:10] <Fathefner> really
[05:10] <ian_> dabR: yes.  can you help me? :)
[05:10] <dabaR> amarant_coral: maybe there are other difference, but I can not think of anything that would make sence.
[05:10] <LM1> can I get gparted on knoppiz
[05:10] <LM1> knoppix
[05:10] <LM1> I need to partition a drive
[05:10] <robert_> 10.0.0.20 | unknown | 00:01:02:42:83:1e <-- that's the ip address of the computer I want it to pull
[05:10] <robert_> brb
[05:10] <amarant_coral> dabaR: me either, and i'm having trouble finding out on ubuntus page.
[05:11] <dabaR> ian_: well, you put those into /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh
[05:11] <robert_> okay here we go
[05:11] <gireesh> LM1: there is qtparted
[05:11] <robert_> rebooting
[05:11] <robert_> the router
[05:11] <ian_> dabaR: what about the rc.local?
[05:11] <dabaR> amarant_coral: there should be nothing else different. Nothing else would make sense.
[05:11] <Fathefner> so how do i fix a grub
[05:11] <NelsonLRuffmuff> Can anyone walk me through how to update kernel headers without an internet connection?
[05:11] <LM1> I think I will try the feisty beta
[05:11] <LM1> first
[05:11] <ian_> dabaR: what is there difference rc.local?
[05:11] <gireesh> Fathefner: you could reinstall it from the command line
[05:11] <gireesh> when you get to the grub loader hit ESC
[05:11] <LM1> does anyone know is it possible to defrag a sata ntfs drive with feisty
[05:12] <Fathefner> or do i need or have to partition
[05:12] <gireesh> then root (hdx,y)
[05:12] <gireesh> then setup (hdx,y)
[05:12] <Fathefner> do i tyep
[05:12] <Fathefner>  root (hdx,y)
[05:12] <Fathefner> type
[05:12] <gireesh> yes but make sure you know x and y
[05:12] <dabaR> ian_: I do not really know. But I do know that the bootmisc file is where you ~put miscelaneous things to run at boot.
[05:12] <Fathefner> what r the x and y
[05:12] <gireesh> how many hard disks do you have?
[05:12] <ian_> dabaR: i will try your suggestion :) thanks!
[05:13] <Fathefner> 3
[05:13] <LM1> should I download the amd64 if I have a 64bit machine
[05:13] <LM1> amd x2 3600+
[05:13] <gireesh> which hard disk is the primary master? do you want grub on the master boot record?
[05:13] <Fathefner> no
[05:13] <gireesh> LM1: not unless you want to try it out
[05:13] <Fathefner> i have it on my 40gb slave drive
[05:13] <gireesh> too much trouble with plugins and stuff
[05:13] <[LD] Rushil> - DCC SEND "12345678901233" 0 0 0
[05:13] <inono> install grub on an MBR of your second HD and swap the boot order when you need to get into linux :P
[05:13] <dabaR> Fathefner: how many hard disks, how are they partitioned, where is which OS...
[05:14] <robert_> dabaR: nope,  can't do that
[05:14] <robert_> er- dabaR: nope, can't do that
[05:14] <gireesh> slave on what?
[05:14] <dabaR> robert_: and does dhcp setup work for the same machine?
[05:14] <Hobbsee> !staffers
[05:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about staffers - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:14] <PORDO> i bought this thing to slow down my cpu and make my system quiet and it works brilliantly.  7 bucks.
[05:14] <Fathefner> srry
[05:14] <gireesh> Fathefner: is it a slave on master or secondary?
[05:14] <robert_> how do I switch to dhcp again?
[05:14] <alindeman> Hobbsee: I nuked him
[05:14] <Fathefner> master
[05:14] <Fathefner> i think
[05:15] <Hobbsee> alindeman: great, thanks
[05:15] <Fathefner> ya
[05:15] <dabaR> robert_: how did you switch to static?
[05:15] <gireesh> do you know the partition name? /dev/hd..?
[05:15] <gireesh> or /dev/sd..?
[05:15] <robert_> dabaR: I set it up that way
[05:15] <Fathefner> its dev/hd
[05:15] <gireesh> hda or hdb or hdc?
[05:16] <dabaR> which files did you edit, robert_, or what program did you use?
[05:16] <gireesh> and which partition on it?
[05:16] <Fathefner> that i dont know
[05:16] <robert_> dabaR: I used the ubuntu curses setup app to do it
[05:16] <robert_> I don't remember what it's called
[05:16] <robert_> and no
[05:16] <dabaR> Fathefner: are you using Ubuntu right now?
[05:16] <gireesh> what are you running right now?
[05:16] <robert_> dhcp setup fails
[05:16] <dager> robert_, gonna jump in here.. "dhcpcd eth0", or whatever your device is, should start it
[05:16] <robert_> ok
[05:16] <LM1> :C
[05:16] <Fathefner> windows
[05:17] <gireesh> XP?
[05:17] <LM1> linux doesn't like amd/ati motherboard chipsets does it
[05:17] <dabaR> Fathefner: you have 2 hard disks?
[05:17] <gireesh> LM1: I use AMD mobos but Nvidia cards
[05:17] <Fathefner> no i have 3
[05:17] <LM1> ive got a motherboard with the amd/ati 690 chipset
[05:17] <robert_> dager: I don't have that binary
[05:17] <Ollie|> how can I give the user www write permissions to a certain directory?
[05:17] <dabaR> Fathefner: which one is windows on?
[05:17] <gireesh> Fathefner: in Administrative Tools in XP you can go to COmputer Management and in Disk Management find out which HD is which
[05:18] <Fathefner> my main drive
[05:18] <dabaR> Fathefner: does that one only have C, or C and D?
[05:18] <gireesh> LM1: ATI has generally been problematic
[05:18] <LM1> :c
[05:18] <robert_> oh
[05:18] <robert_> haha

[05:23] <dabaR> !ask | zero88:
[05:23] <ubotu> zero88:: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[05:23] <zero88> haha supaplex
[05:23] <dabaR> thiago_: why do you think you need to?
[05:23] <Fathefner> is there a grub fixer
[05:23] <Supaplex> take it to the vet?
[05:23] <zero88> supaplex ok, here it is. i am having a program use mysql right.and when it tries to connect i get an error,give me a second and il tell you what it is
[05:23] <dabaR> grub
[05:23] <dabaR> !grub
[05:23] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[05:24] <thiago_> i try to use unrar
[05:24] <zero88> supaplex sorry 1 sec
[05:24] <robert_> grr
[05:24] <robert_> dhcp config sort-of works
[05:24] <tjb13> hey guys do you know when the rc cd will be released, do they come out exactly at midnight?
[05:24] <robert_> but then it stalls after SIOCADDRT: Operation not permitted
[05:24] <dabaR> peepsalot: what script?
[05:24] <thiago_> and the system said that i need glibc 2.4
[05:24] <tjb13> i'm very excited
[05:25] <tjb13> as the last one did not boot on my macbook pro
[05:25] <dabaR> tjb13: no, not at midnight.
[05:25] <zero88> Supaplex this is the error i get when trying to use a program to make a db.  error: 'Access denied for user 'zero88'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'
[05:25] <dabaR> when it's ready
[05:25] <robert_> I'm going to update my server
[05:25] <robert_> bah
[05:25] <zero88> supaplex but ive added a pass for root
[05:25] <dabaR> hmph...new to mysql, eh...
[05:26] <Supaplex> zero88: mysql keeps a different set of passwords/users than linux will. so add one.
[05:26] <BlankTim> I hate to ask again, but could I have the link for doing a forced install of wine on AMD64 systems? I lost the link I was given last time around  :( Thanks!
[05:26] <dabaR> Supaplex: zero88 wait...
[05:26] <tjb13> dabaR damn, i was pretty eager to test that stuff out
[05:26] <zYe_> if i install feisty beta, when the final release comes out, will it upgrade itself?
[05:26] <dabaR> tjb13: it will come out..
[05:26] <dabaR> zYe_: if you upgrade
[05:26] <zero88> dabar yes?
[05:26] <dabaR> zero88: what exact command do you run?
[05:27] <zero88> dabar well in the program i do a   db_create
[05:27] <dabaR> zero88: and you have added a password for your root mysql account, or your ubuntu root account?
[05:27] <LM1> any fans of watching this torrent is like watching paint dry
[05:27] <LM1> lol
[05:27] <LM1> i mixed that one up
[05:27] <zYe_> dabar: so it will upgrade if i choose to, yes?
[05:27] <zero88> dabar the mysql account
[05:27] <dabaR> zYe_: ya, it will tell you in the top right as always.
[05:27] <pbw> Dager: how do update amarok without an internet connection?
[05:27] <zYe_> dabar: awesome, thanks.
[05:27] <peepsalot> dabaR i want to run X on a separate virtual console with a remote desktop application nx, or vnc running
[05:27] <dabaR> zero88: well, what is the line of code that does db_create?
[05:28] <LM1> are there any other distros besides gentoo that the latest kernels
[05:28] <dager> pbw: do a "cat /etc/hosts.allow >> .amarok_update" and reboot kde
[05:28] <dabaR> peepsalot: is it a daemon, or just a command?
[05:28] <pbw> there are no other distros.. none.
[05:28] <zero88> dabar um what do you mean.i think it does a cmd_db_create but im not sure
[05:28] <zero88> dabar i cant post the file in pastebin
[05:28] <dabaR> zero88: do that.
[05:28] <zero88> dabar k
[05:29] <spenc3> zero88, u wanna add user in mysql??
[05:30] <zero88> spenc3 well... this is the error i get    error: 'Access denied for user 'zero88'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
[05:30] <peepsalot> dabaR, just a command I guess.  i'm not sure yet even how to start it up correctly
[05:30] <zero88> !pastebin

[05:30] <dabaR> peepsalot: you may just need to install a daemon that will get started by Ubuntu at start-up.
[05:30] <peepsalot> dabaR, something like "xinit /usr/NX/bin/nxclient -- :1" i think
[05:30] <zero88> dabar http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15162/
[05:31] <dabaR> peepsalot: to add a random command to when your computer starts, add it to the /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh file.
[05:31] <dabaR> zero88: K, well, that is RUby...
[05:31] <zero88> dabar ya
[05:31] <zero88> dabar do i have to edit that file somehow?
[05:31] <spenc3> zero88: have u add ur user into mysql?
[05:32] <peepsalot> dabaR, how do I associate a command with a particular virtual console?
[05:32] <zero88> spenc3 uh, i duno,ive only added the pass for root
[05:32] <dabaR> zero88: and do you run this program yourself from the command line?
[05:32] <peepsalot> x is such a mystery to me
[05:33] <spenc3> zero88: oh then u should check and see if u can login with ur root user, try mysql -u root -p
[05:33] <zero88> dabar ruby or the program thats trying to create the db
[05:33] <spenc3> zero88: and then input ur password.
[05:33] <zero88> spenc3 yes i can liek that
[05:33] <LM1> i can't figure it out
[05:33] <LM1> it boots with ultimate boot cd
[05:33] <spenc3> zero88: u in mysql right now?
[05:33] <dabaR> zero88: do you run the program you posted to pastebin yourself on the command line?
[05:33] <LM1> which uses linux isos
[05:33] <LM1> :c
[05:33] <pbw> how do i install notepad?.. i cant edit any files and i have no internet
[05:33] <zero88> spenc3 but i am using another program to use mysql and it doesnt give me the option to you -u -r -p
[05:34] <zero88> dabar well, i load that plugin.that file is a plugin for metaspolit.and yes its used through command line
[05:34] <|NewUser|> pbw:  there is gedit.. if u want to edit any file.. gedit is kinda notepad.
[05:34] <dabaR> pbw: there are a few notepads installed by default. DO you have gnome installed, the graphical desktop...
[05:34] <zero88> spenc3 no not at the moment
[05:34] <spenc3> zero88: but the Access denied error is from mysql itself.
[05:34] <zero88> spenc3 um... yes through another program
[05:34] <dabaR> zero88: do you pass any command line arguments to this prorgram?
[05:35] <dager> zero88: are you using the framework snapshot? or a depreciated version?
[05:35] <SpaceGhost> Panel Question: Does anyone know... Why my panel icons say my pc in on MUTE, and why it says "No Network Connection"?!??!
[05:35] <zero88> dabar all i can do is db_create, ive tried db_create -p but same thing happens
[05:35] <zero88> dager i beleive its the framework,off the site
[05:36] <dabaR> zero88: are you just happy if I tell you how to create a database, or do you need this program to be able to run?
[05:36] <dager> zero88: and, sorry for jumping in, but whats the problem?
[05:36] <|NewUser|> SpaceGhost: same as me ;) the icon says " NO internet COnnection " but Internet working fine :/
[05:36] <pestilence> !esd
[05:36] <ubotu> esd is the enlightened sound deamon. It's deprecated, use !alsa instead
[05:36] <zero88> dabar well i think i need the program to do it,well access mysql
[05:36] <DevLaVaca> I am having trouble getting a second monitor to work; I want to have it be a clone of the main desktop.  I can get it to come on, but all I see is a field of color and parallel lines, and my cursor is a square of vertical lines.  Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?  My xorg.conf is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15163/plain/
[05:36] <peepsalot> what is the proper terminology for the different consoles?  eg Ctrl-Alt-F1, Ctrl-Alt-F2, etc.
[05:36] <ian_> how do i know rc.local runs in boot time?
[05:36] <zero88> dager no problem, im trying to use MetaSploit to screate a database
[05:37] <dager> zero88: Metasploit doesnt create databases
[05:37] <pbw> dabaR: i have a graphical desktop
[05:37] <zero88> dager the plugin for it does
[05:37] <SpaceGhost> Two icons on my panel show wrong information. One icon shows Mute, yet i have sound. The other shows NoNetworkConnection, yet i obviously have internet. This problem occured as I was installing a METACITY theme. any ideas????
[05:37] <dabaR> pbw: you can then click on applications>utilities>text editor for a notepad program.
[05:37] <zero88> dager i have to load a mysql plugin
[05:37] <dager> zero88: im 99% sure it exploits them, or maybe creates a malicious mysql database remotely
[05:38] <dabaR> zero88: if I tell you how to create a database on your mysql server, and tell you to not use that program, is that OK?
[05:38] <zero88> dager sorry, i dont understand
[05:38] <peepsalot> how can I make X start on a specific tty?
[05:38] <pbw> i dont have a menu dabaR
[05:38] <spenc3> zero88: try to run terminal and then type in mysql -u root -p
[05:38] <zero88> dabar ya, that will help also
[05:38] <FriedGeek> is there a way to make NTFS drives writeable?
[05:38] <dager> zero88: Metasploit is a framework for exploiting security flaws on different servers.. not for setting up your own
[05:38] <fizzmahon> hello, trying to install a .deb but package installer is giving this error "error: dependency is not satisfiable kdelibs4c2a" and i am almost sure i have that depenency
[05:38] <|NewUser|> !ntfs
[05:38] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[05:38] <FriedGeek> awesome thanks.
[05:39] <mister_roboto> ian_: do you mean, if you add something there, how do you know that it actually ran?
[05:39] <zero88> dager ya i know, im checking the 2 window boxes on my network
[05:39] <dabaR> zero88: mysqladmin -u root -p create <db_name> where db_name is the name of the db, of course.
[05:39] <dager> zero88: if the exploit fails, then you're good :D
[05:39] <zero88> spenc3 i am able to login liek that
[05:39] <dager> zero88: so being unable to create a database means your secured
[05:39] <DevLaVaca> SpaceGhost, with the mute, have you tried muting and unmuting the sound?  Also, the Network icons are notoriously finicky.  Are you using NetworkMonitor or nm-applet?
[05:40] <dabaR> dager: not in the case he showed, cause it was just trying to create the db with a non-existent user.
[05:40] <zero88> dager no no, not on the other machine,my machine
[05:40] <dabaR> dager: but I get your point.
[05:40] <dager> zero88: OH! I see what you mean.
[05:40] <zero88> dager :)
[05:40] <ian_> mister_roboto: yes. how will i know it actually ran.
[05:41] <ekis> hello, somebody speak spanish here?
[05:41] <SpaceGhost> DevLaVaca, Im using default Ubuntu Gnome panel, im not sure what that is. nm-applet is techno-lingo to me hehe i dont know what it is. im using fresh install of ubuntu. i installed a graphics theme and it messed my icons. i tried muting/unmuting and even changing icons. not fixed so far.
[05:41] <dabaR> ian_: make a command that creates a file only if the previous command is succesful, using &&
[05:41] <dabaR> !es
[05:41] <ubotu> Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[05:41] <mister_roboto> ian_: one easy thing you could do is to add a line to write to a log file. then you will know it ran
[05:41] <ekis> dabaR: thanks, !!!
[05:41] <dabaR> de nada
[05:41] <zero88> dabar how could i set mysql up so anyone can login witout a pass? locally
[05:42] <ekis> dabaR:  i can see that you can speak spanish "de nada" lol,
[05:42] <dabaR> ekis: I know a few words.
[05:42] <mister_roboto> ian_: something like:   echo "rc.local ran at `date`"
[05:42] <ekis> unbuntu-es is empty ... :P~
[05:42] <ekis> my english it's so pooor
[05:42] <dabaR> zero88: not sure. It would be in the /etc/mysql/ directory a conf file probably.
[05:42] <mister_roboto> ian_: something like:   echo "rc.local ran at `date`" >/tmp/rc.log
[05:42] <dabaR> ekis: give it a shot.
[05:42] <zero88> dabar ok
[05:42] <ekis> i need change between desktops in ubuntu gnome
[05:42] <dabaR> zero88: there is a #mysql, eh?
[05:42] <ekis> without the buttons on the bar
[05:43] <zero88> dabar yes i shall check that out
[05:43] <ekis> how can i change between desktops in other way?
[05:43] <DevLaVaca> SpaceGhost, probably changing themes made it all screwy.  Have you already tried logging off and then back in?
[05:43] <dabaR> ekis: alt-ctrl-<left_or_right>
[05:43] <ian_> mister_roboto: this is the command in my rc.local ifdown eth0 ifup eth0
[05:43] <ekis> dabaR:  ohhhh thanks ... that's that i wan to do it !!
[05:43] <ekis> exacly that !
[05:43] <dabaR> ekis: cool.
[05:43] <ian_> mister_roboto: i want to know if it was executed in boot
[05:44] <dabaR> ian_: that is two commands.
[05:44] <gubluntu> anyone here a *lynx* scripting _master?_
[05:44] <dabaR> ian_: do you have them in a bash script?
[05:44] <greenman> What is a good p2p program?  Right now I'm using Limewire on OS X
[05:44] <SpaceGhost> DevLaVaca I've unplugged  my machine and waited ten minutes. that didnt fix the two messed icons in panel. I did however just fix my NETWORK icon by Disableing the network and reinabling it. Now just my MUTE icon is still messed.
[05:45] <ian_> dabaR: yes its two command.
[05:45] <dabaR> greenman: I use gtk-gnutella.
[05:45] <DevLaVaca> I am having trouble getting a second monitor to work; I can get it to come on, but all I see is a field of color and parallel lines, and the cursor is a square of vertical lines.  Any ideas?  My xorg.conf is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15163/plain/  Please take a look; I need to do a presentation tomorrow!
[05:45] <dabaR> ian_: in a bash script?
[05:45] <ian_> dabaR: i just put it in the rc.local
[05:45] <ian_> file
[05:45] <greenman> dabaR: thanks, I'll give it a try
[05:45] <dabaR> ian_: what id the first line of that file?
[05:45] <mister_roboto> ian_: if that's the actual text in the file it will give you an error. you should have an "&&" before "ifup" at the very least. you will see messages in "/var/log/messages" related to those commands.
[05:45] <Arrick> hi all
[05:46] <Arrick> for ubuntu 6.06.1 I have "sudo apt-get install libnss-ldap" how do I reconfig that?
[05:46] <DevLaVaca> SpaceGhost: Well, I'm stumped.  I've had that happen in the past, and all it took was muting, unmuting, and then raising and lowering the volume.
[05:46] <dabaR> Arrick: reconfig?
[05:46] <ian_> dabaR : #!/bin/sh -e
[05:46] <Arrick> yes dabaR
[05:46] <dabaR> Arrick: what is that?
[05:46] <mister_roboto> Arrick: dpkg-reconfigure <package-name>    is the generic way
[05:47] <Arrick> used with samba
[05:47] <gubluntu> ubotu tell Arrick about libnss-ldap
[05:47] <ian_> mister_roboto: so you mean i will put && before ifdown
[05:47] <SpaceGhost> DevLaVaca I'm going to go out into the wilderness of the internet and download a heap of themes and experiement with this. You've helped and inspired me. Thank you for being awesome. <3
[05:47] <Arrick> uboto has no idea gubluntu thanks though
[05:47] <mister_roboto> ian_: clearly you don't read well  :)
[05:48] <Arrick> that isnt working dabaR
[05:48] <dabaR> Arrick: what does it mean to reconfigure a library?
[05:48] <payan> hmm
[05:48] <ian_> mister_roboto: sorry for clarifying :) im new in linux. i do not want to ruin my OS :) i have spent 2 days now. hehehe
[05:48] <hanasaki> anyone have a recommendation for a good highend (developer class) laptop that ubuntu runs on ?
[05:48] <dabaR> Arrick: you want to change some settings of the ldap server that it installs or something?
[05:48] <Arrick> dabaR, reconfig the program
[05:48] <Arrick> yes
[05:48] <stepanstas> Whats the best Universal Media player for Linux?
[05:49] <dabaR> Arrick: maybe the settings are stored in /etc.
[05:49] <hanasaki> xine
[05:49] <pbw> winamp
[05:49] <dabaR> !media players
[05:49] <ubotu> Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Banshee, Beep Media Player, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).  Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine  -  See also !codecs
[05:49] <Rio79> i just set up proftpd on my LAN so that i could transfer files between windows and ubuntu.  im currently transferring some files ,but its at around 250 KB/s... seems slow, no?
[05:49] <hanasaki> stepanstas:  of course there are religous wars
[05:49] <ekis> stepanstas: mplayer for me ... !
[05:49] <DevLaVaca> SpaceGhost: glad to help (more or less)
[05:49] <stepanstas> Hmm, a lot of choices
[05:49] <gubluntu> !best
[05:49] <ubotu> Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[05:50] <ekis> stepanstas: try mplayer ... !! it's awsome !
[05:50] <SpaceGhost> DevLaVaca you helped more than you would believe. You breathed new life into my trust of using IRC <3333
[05:50] <mister_roboto> ian_: you have two commands there: 1) ifdown eth0 and 2) ifup eth0.   you can't just put them together in one string like you did.   if you put "&&" between them that means to run the second command only if the first succeeded
[05:50] <stepanstas> ekis, does it play mov, avi and stuff?
[05:50] <gubluntu> video lan does
[05:50] <ekis> stepanstas: of course
[05:50] <gubluntu> ...everything
[05:50] <mister_roboto> ian_: but let's step back and ask why you are doing that in the first place?
[05:51] <dabaR> ian_: and as an extension, add another &&<command> after those, and that command will get run only if the first two succeed.
[05:51] <stepanstas> And what about .ram (real) .lst (winamp)?

[05:52] <WaxyFresh> what do you guys do to keep your sytem running well/the best it can?
[05:52] <ian_> mister_roboto: my real problem is my network interface does not connect at first boot. when i sudo ifdown eth0 then ifup eth0. it will connect. so im tried to put it in rc.local. nothing happens. :( do you have any sugestion?
[05:52] <crdlb> xzai, gparted
[05:52] <xzai> thxs
[05:52] <WaxyFresh> xzai, fdisk maybe?

[05:55] <pestilence> denys: if you know the ssid, then no.
[05:55] <WaxyFresh> trpr, what about conigureing certain files?are there any that could add to my systems performance?
[05:55] <mister_roboto> ian_: i would try to fix the problem with it not coming up when you boot rather than a nasty workaround like what you're trying. do you have any clue as to why it fails to come up on boot? any error messages from /var/log/messages or anything like that?
[05:56] <pestilence> WaxyFresh: sounds like you and gentoo were meant for each other
[05:56] <WaxyFresh> pestilence, no no no

[06:05] <pestilence> greenman: sure
[06:05] <mister_roboto> ian_: i'm sorry but offhand i don't know what's going wrong. however, that's what i would try to find out. if you want to pursue the rc.local route, you can put an entire sequence of commands into a subshell and log all that shell's output to a file by doing something like:  ( command && command && command ) >/tmp/output.log 2>&1
[06:05] <ViciousParker> has anyone had this problem before, "'E:The package automatix2 needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.'"
[06:05] <greenman> hmm.
[06:06] <greenman> solved that one, but I'm still getting these two...
[06:06] <greenman> ERROR: Cannot compile against GLib.
[06:06] <greenman> ERROR: Cannot compile against Gtk+.
[06:06] <ian_> mister_roboto: ok thanks.
[06:06] <pestilence> greenman: the easiest thing to do is "apt-get build-dep <whateverpackage>
[06:06] <pestilence> greenman: you need -src repos for that command to work, of course
[06:07] <greenman> pestilence: what do you mean?  Right now I'm trying to configure gtk-gnutella
[06:07] <pestilence> greenman: if there is a ubuntu gtk-gnutella package, running "apt-get build-dep gtk-gnutella" will install everything you need to build gtk-gnutella
[06:08] <greenman> pestilence: well I did a apt-get install gtk-gnutella and that worked fine, but when I went to run it, it said it was an ancient version.  So I went to the site to download and build it myself and ran into the problems
[06:08] <greenman> I'm assuming that if it installed it, then I have those deps somewhere...
[06:08] <pestilence> greenman: exactly.  so just do what i'm telling you to do.
[06:09] <pestilence> greenman: you have the run-time dependencies.  not the build dependencies
[06:09] <crdlb> greenman, you can follow the instructions it gives to make the "ancient" version run
[06:09] <pestilence> greenman: you need things like header files to build, which aren't needed just for running
[06:09] <cmatheson> this is sort of a retarded question... but i just got a dell inspiron 6000 from work and i put feisty on it... but no wireless is detected.  i'm going through the output of lspci and i don't even see any wireless cards listed there.  is it possible to get a laptop w/ no wireless in this day and age?
[06:09] <greenman> crdlb: isn't that what you aren't supposed to do?
[06:09] <pestilence> greenman: and build-dep will get those headers
[06:09] <greenman> pestilence: ah, I'll do that
[06:09] <crdlb> greenman, it's not that old
[06:10] <mister_roboto> cmatheson: i have an inspiron 8200 and it has no built-in wireless
[06:10] <mister_roboto> cmatheson: i have a wireless cardbus card that i used
[06:10] <greenman> crdlb: okay, I'll probably just do that on my friends comp.  Might as well finish this now though.  :)
[06:11] <cmatheson> mister_roboto: oh ok... maybe it just doesn't have wireless then.  i've been trying to figure out if that was an available config option, but it's been hard finding that on the internet.  i guess if your laptop is newer that is fairly likely though
[06:11] <ViciousParker> how can i disable extra synaptic repositories using the terminal?
[06:11] <pestilence> ViciousParker: edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:11] <am2> can see my sound card but do not hear sound any suggestions?
[06:11] <pestilence> !sources.list | ViciousParker
[06:11] <ubotu> ViciousParker: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[06:12] <mister_roboto> cmatheson: when i ordered this from dell a while ago, the wireless option was to add the plugin card to your order :)
[06:12] <cmatheson> mister_roboto: ah, thanks
[06:12] <greenman> well that didn't work.  I guess I'll just use the apt-get install of it
[06:13] <ViciousParker> k, thanks pestilence (what a funny thing to say)
[06:13] <am2> no sound but system recognizes sound card. Any suggestions?
[06:14] <pestilence> am2: is it muted?  is the cable plugged in? :-D
[06:14] <mister_roboto> am2: sounds silly but i had that happen once and it turned out that the volume was turned all the way down in the mixer
[06:14] <green> just being curious i ran that sudo apt-get build-dep package name as mozilla-mplayer and came up with 100mbs worth of stuff
[06:14] <pestilence> green: heh
[06:14] <pestilence> green: have you ever built anything on that machine?
[06:15] <green> does that mean it was all missing?
[06:15] <green> nope
[06:15] <pestilence> green: missing in what sense?  missing if you wanted to build that package.  but you don't need the build dependencies to use a package
[06:16] <pestilence> green: probably half of it is common to building any package (e.g. see how big "apt-get install build-essential" is)
[06:16] <green> well i mean is the mplayer going  to work now
[06:16] <pestilence> green: no :)
[06:16] <green> ok
[06:17] <green> hummmm
[06:17] <pestilence> green: does it work streaming anything?
[06:17] <green> nope
[06:17] <pestilence> green: mozilla-mplayer is broken AFAIK for things like CNN
[06:17] <am2> hey pestilence. nothing muted volume all the way up any other suggestions?
[06:17] <pestilence> green: there is bug in it.
[06:17] <green> it said something about missing doc files and motif
[06:17] <pestilence> green: install MediaPlayerConnectivity and use it with vlc
[06:18] <pestilence> am2: ls -ltr /dev/dsp
[06:18] <green> do u know what the code would be?
[06:18] <pestilence> green: code?
[06:19] <green> command sorry
[06:19] <pestilence> green: MediaPlayerConnectivity is a mozilla extension, you have to google it.
[06:19] <pestilence> it installs through firefox
[06:19] <pestilence> green: as for vlc..."apt-get install vlc"
[06:19] <green> ok ty
[06:19] <josh_> hello all i have a what i assume is a hostname problum

[06:21] <josh_> i have it on DMZ
[06:21] <pestilence> oh.

[06:23] <josh_> i can get to it from teh internet though
[06:23] <atoponce> !sudo | niall
[06:23] <ubotu> niall: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.

[06:35] <epoch> whats the command to broadcast a message
[06:35] <jtt> atoponce: he wants to make copy of sources.list
[06:35] <epoch> like xmessage or whatever it was
[06:35] <LM1> jtt, after I tell it to boot in safe mode
[06:35] <atoponce> jtt: ahh. why doesn't he just say so?
[06:35] <ajmorris_> anyone successfully installed Enigmail for Thunderbird? i found it on their site but for seamonkey and i am using just thunderbird so it won't install
[06:35] <niall> atoponce: not sure

[06:35] <jtt> atoponce: he did you may have missed the line
[06:36] <atoponce> niall: use the 'cp' command: 'sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.back'
[06:36] <niall> and that will make a back up copy of my ... registry?
[06:36] <atoponce> niall: no, of the file
[06:36] <jtt> LM1: why would you boot in safe mode on a live cd
[06:36] <niall> I see
[06:37] <niall> thanks
[06:37] <LM1> well because I tried normal and it didn't work either
[06:37] <josh_> can someone familiar with seting up hostnames.. or half-life servers.... PM me pleas
[06:37] <atoponce> niall: linux doesn't have a registry. it's an evil concauction that should be thrust into hell
[06:37] <jtt> LM1: please explain normal
[06:37] <Kefka> Anybody ever have the problem of being "stuck" in 640*480 screen res on 6.06 LTS or know how to fix this?
[06:37] <wapityyy> Hey, im new to ubuntu, what is syntax to use to call a php script as well as a function of it
[06:37] <niall> atoponce: I agree
[06:38] <jtt> atoponce: if linux had a registry i would'nt use Linux
[06:38] <wapityyy> what is linux %
[06:38] <wapityyy> ?
[06:38] <LM1> well whatever the default option is for the live cd
[06:38] <atoponce> jtt: agreed
[06:38] <eman_> hey all!
[06:38] <meal3837> i'm having trouble installing ubuntu (or any distro, for that matter) on my new computer
[06:38] <wapityyy> Hey, im new to ubuntu, what is syntax to use to call a php script as well as a function of it
[06:38] <eman_> I have a problem while trying to make-kpkg.. It keeps doing an old-config and overwriting my .config
[06:38] <meal3837> i'm pretty sure it's relatet to the PATA controller on my board
[06:38] <jtt> LM1: ok how about you boot live cd normal and tell me what is happending
[06:38] <eman_> how can I stop it from doing that?
[06:38] <niall> atoponce: so then what is this asking me to do ? http://www.qbittorrent.org/
[06:39] <atoponce> niall: i don't know
[06:39] <josh_> anyone have a server runing on DMZ though the 2wire???
[06:39] <niall> I thought I had to use the terminal for  "following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list"
[06:39] <niall> drat
[06:39] <niall> oh well
[06:39] <niall> thanks again
[06:39] <ajmorris_> meal3837, what happens and what errors do you get?
[06:40] <atoponce> niall: is it saying to add lines to the file?
[06:40] <jtt> niall: read man page on  kate  may help you edit your file
[06:40] <meal3837> to preface, my mobo is an intel dg965ry . . . ICH8 has no native PATA support
[06:40] <meal3837> but i get the "cannot access tty" error
[06:41] <meal3837> or when i install debian, it just doesn't detect the optical drive
[06:41] <atoponce> niall: i would advise against adding 3rd party registries to you /etc/apt/sources.list file
[06:41] <LM1> k when I boot from the livecd it hangs on a black screen
[06:41] <niall> atoponce: okay
[06:41] <atoponce> niall: only use and trust the official ubuntu repositories
[06:41] <atoponce> niall: by using 3rd party repos, you expose your system to attack. not a smart move
[06:42] <niall> atoponce: ahh I was going to say
[06:42] <niall> alright then
[06:42] <atoponce> niall: sorry, but i won't support users adding 3rd party repos to their computer. :(
[06:42] <jtt> LM1: ok when the grub menu appears do the following  press function key 6  (f6)  and remove the  words  splash and quiet from the end of the line that displays on the terminal then enter the character  b  to boot and tell me what happens
[06:43] <niall> atoponce: no thats alright I understand and I'm going to take your advice
[06:43] <yashton> exit
[06:43] <niall> you've been a big help
[06:43] <atoponce> niall: if you want torrents, there are a number of them in the ubuntu repos
[06:43] <shnastybiznastic> Does anyone mind if I ask a samba question here?  #samba is pretty dead, and I know these arent exactly peak hours
[06:43] <meal3837> ajmorris: from what i gather, if i use a SATA optical drive, it bypasses this issue
[06:44] <meal3837> ajmorris: i was just hoping there was a "no purchase necessary" work-around
[06:44] <jtt> shnastybiznastic: fire away maybe someone has the answer
[06:44] <ajmorris_> meal3837, i don't know if there is one
[06:44] <ajmorris_> meal3837, i'll do a quick search and see what i can find
[06:45] <payan> go ahead
[06:45] <meal3837> ajmorris_: i've seen suggestions for boot-line params including all-generic-ide, irqpoll, noapic, nolapic
[06:46] <meal3837> ajmorris_: none of these worked
[06:46] <fojod0i> what do they mean by "feisty+1" ?
[06:46] <Flannel> fojod0i: the release after feisty
[06:46] <meal3837> whatever comes after fiesty
[06:46] <shnastybiznastic> jtt: thanks,
[06:46] <fojod0i> ah
[06:47] <shnastybiznastic> So I'm trying to connect to a samba server running on a slackware box on my local LAN from an ubuntu box on the same lan and I get the following error:
[06:47] <shnastybiznastic> timeout connecting to 64.158.56.56:445
[06:47] <ajmorris_> meal3837, what version of ubuntu are you trying to install
[06:47] <shnastybiznastic> that's not an IP within my lan
[06:47] <Flannel> shnastybiznastic: if youre connecting on the same LAN, why do you have an non-subnet IP?
[06:47] <LM1> jtt: the last thing it says is about attached scsi
[06:47] <shnastybiznastic> Flannel: that is an excelent question
[06:48] <Vaske_Car> where does Ubuntu import pictures from SD card?
[06:48] <meal3837> ajmorris_: i've tried dapper (live and alt.), dapper 64, edgy and edgy 64
[06:48] <ajmorris_> meal3837, someone said this "Using 6.06 no PATA devices are found. So
[06:48] <ajmorris_> installing ubuntu is not possible if you have only a PATA hard drive.
[06:48] <ajmorris_> My SATA dvd drive is detected fine."
[06:48] <Flannel> shnastybiznastic: well, how are you choosing what to connect to?
[06:48] <shnastybiznastic> Flannel: the ip that smbmount returns in it's error message is not one from my subnet, and not the ip of the server I'm trying to connect to
[06:48] <jtt> LM1: so it printed a bunch of text to the screen when you made those changes and do you have a scsi anything on the MB
[06:48] <meal3837> ajmorris_: figures
[06:48] <shnastybiznastic> Flannel: smbmount //<server>/<share>
[06:48] <jtt> LM1:  or connected to the machine
[06:49] <LM1> I have a sata drive
[06:49] <Flannel> shnastybiznastic: and what <server> are you using?
[06:49] <niall> atoponce: I have a question again sorry: I will use bittorrent but uh where is it located?
[06:49] <LM1> western digital 250gb
[06:49] <shnastybiznastic> Flannel: one called purple, the slackware box
[06:49] <josh_> anyone that can help me with my half-life server  ????
[06:49] <jtt> LM1: and all works well in say in Windows
[06:49] <Flannel> shnastybiznastic: What happens when you put the IP in there?
[06:49] <LM1> yes
[06:49] <shnastybiznastic> Flannel: it connects fine
[06:49] <atoponce> niall: there are a lot of clients, most of which, you'll probably have to install
[06:49] <LM1> windows loads ok
[06:50] <Madpilot> niall, find a .torrent file and just double-click on it, it should launch gnome-torrent automatically
[06:50] <atoponce> niall: http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?searchon=names&subword=1&version=edgy&release=all&keywords=torrent&sourceid=mozilla-search
[06:50] <niall> ahh thats what I needed
[06:50] <niall> thanks
[06:50] <atoponce> niall: there are the avail packages for ubuntu that you can install
[06:50] <niall> cool
[06:50] <Flannel> shnastybiznastic: so, your issue is with the lookup of purple.  And... well, I have no idea how that works ;)  But at least you know where it is
[06:50] <niall> thanks alot guys really
[06:50] <jtt> LM1: i bet there is a kernel boot option that needs to be set
[06:50] <ajmorris_> meal3837, have you tried feisty?
[06:50] <atoponce> niall: just use your terminal to install them. if you need to add the universe repo, then it will say in red
[06:51] <niall> you have no idea how good it is to have this when you're just starting out
[06:51] <jtt> LM1: but since i dont have any sata i have not run into that one yet
[06:51] <shnastybiznastic> Flannel: that's what I thought, but google isn't being much help.
[06:51] <niall> atoponce: great
[06:51] <Flannel> shnastybiznastic: what about man smbmount?
[06:51] <green> ok the mplayer bug has got me i installed media connectivity and added vlc as the player and i still get nothing?
[06:51] <josh_> can anyone even tell me if this looks right  "127.0.0.1       foryd.xxdilbertxx.servegame.com froyd.linvillenet localhost froyd"
[06:51] <shnastybiznastic> Flannel: I hadn't thought of that, I'll check what it says about lookups.  thanks

[06:52] <LM1> :/
[06:53] <jtt> LM1: one question what live cd version is it
[06:53] <meal3837> ajmorris_:no, i haven't . . . idk why, i have a disk sitting right here, maybe tomorrow, or later tonight.  If that doesn't work, i'll just break down and get a new drive
[06:53] <LM1> tryed 6.10
[06:53] <LM1> and the latest feisty beta
[06:53] <jtt> LM1: beta feisty is old and possibly a little buggy do you know how to get a daily image
[06:54] <Flannel> LM1: did you try the alternate CD?
[06:54] <LM1> whats the alternate?
[06:54] <ajmorris_> meal3837, apparently this problem is fixed with 2.6.18 kernel
[06:54] <josh_> is this the correct line if my box's name is froyd and i am using no-ip ddns  "127.0.0.1       foryd.xxdilbertxx.servegame.com froyd.linvillenet localhost froyd"
[06:54] <jtt> LM1:  alternate good idea
[06:54] <watsbox> I updated the Fiesty Fawn beta and no longer have the network manager for my wireless adapter on the upper right of my screen. Any takers?
[06:54] <LM1> k
[06:54] <LM1> thanks
[06:54] <ajmorris_> meal3837, so feisty will prolly work
[06:54] <LM1> will try tommorrow
[06:54] <Flannel> LM1: alternate CD isn't a live environment, just an installer.  Much more robust

[06:54] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).

[07:18] <mneptok> shukhrat: sudo apt-get install mc
[07:18] <Ollie|> there are two install versions of a addin .tar.gz and .tar.bz2 which one do i go for?
[07:18] <Flannel> shukhrat: yeah, you'll need to enable universe
[07:18] <mneptok> shukhrat: what does the apt-get command tell you?
[07:18] <neozen> shukhrat: did you apt-get update after you changed the file?

[07:19] <mon^rch> in synaptic l-->click the big window on right with all the software... start typin in your program name... find it and r--> click remove
[07:19] <Flannel> shukhrat: If you've added universe, you'll need to `sudo apt-get update` to reload the cache, then apt-get mc
[07:19] <Ollie|> yell0w, thanks i am going to use wget do i just do wget http://www.libgd.org/releases/gd-2.0.34.tar.gz

[07:19] <yell0w> Ollie|, nothing else, but why don't you search in the repos first ?
[07:19] <neozen> Olliel: no parameters needed .... but you might want to use -c if the tranfer goes kaboom... -c resumes
[07:19] <mon^rch> zero88_: you catch that?
[07:20] <shukhrat> neozen: how i can enable universe ?
[07:20] <green> anyone know where the media player connectivity wizard is stored?

[07:20] <blahman> YES, I FINALLY GOT UBUNTU TO INSTALL, YAHOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
[07:20] <peeps> Flannel, the problem persists
[07:20] <neozen> synaptic is the more gui way

[07:21] <pavs> hi i think i messed up my madwifi i was trying to install a custom compiled one (following instruction online) I think I need it back because when i use my PCI wireless card it doesnt show up as ath0 like it used to, it doesnt sho up at all. please help
[07:21] <blahman> man, that synaptic program and automatix are awesome
[07:21] <dts> Why does this simple command not work? time a -o"test" ls
[07:21] <atarinox> can somebody help me....it seems like xubuntu has been slowing down significantly lately, and i can barely run more than 1 or 2 apps at a time, whereas after I first installed the OS i had no problem running multiple processes...is there something i should be looking for? or is there some system maintenance i should be doing to keep up the speed of hte OS?
[07:21] <neozen> shukhrat: and you've also checked the boxes for universe under software properties yes?
[07:21] <Derek_Russo> hackle577: thing that annoys me on gaim is how a lot of my buddies are listed twice when I'm logged on 2 screen names (some of the names are overlapped)
[07:21] <hackle577> Derek_Russo: I'm not sure, it's been a while since I've used it
[07:21] <blahman> i mean, i could just search there for the program for installation
[07:21] <blahman> thats krzy
[07:21] <Ollie|> is there a command to limit the amount of text listed
[07:21] <blahman> and program info is listed right there too
[07:21] <farruinn> Derek_Russo: have you tried dropping their names onto one another?
[07:21] <mon^rch> zero88_: scrollup
[07:21] <hackle577> how do i display system information (ie, processor type, RAM, etc.) in Ubuntu 6.10?
[07:21] <neozen> shukhrat: read descriptions next to each box carefully
[07:21] <Ollie|> when i do apt-cache search gd too many things come up and can't see them
[07:22] <yell0w> atarinox, ps faux , get rid of processes that you don't need
[07:22] <Flannel> Ollie|: libgd is in the repositories.  Why do you need to install it?
[07:22] <mon^rch> zero88_: or would you like me to pm you?
[07:22] <Flannel> Ollie|: oh.  apt-cache search gd | less
[07:22] <shukhrat> neozen: Thanks
[07:22] <tieTYT3> sorry, how do you use fsck on the root fs?
[07:22] <Ollie|> thanks
[07:22] <neozen> shukhrat: you've got it then?
[07:22] <zero88_> mon^rch pm
[07:22] <Flannel> Ollie|: you're looking for libgd though, with some binding.  so, search for libgd
[07:22] <neozen> shukhrat: you all set?
[07:22] <Ollie|> I am doing image resizing/watermarking from php and I need the gd library
[07:22] <Flannel> tieTYT2: touch /forcefsck and reboot
[07:22] <fold0in> derek_russo: whats the problem? that theyre listed twice or that theyre combined (overlapped)?
[07:22] <Aldante_Fax> I am having problems with Ubuntu 7.04 Desktop installation. I am currently on step 5 of 7 (Migrate Documents and Settings) and it will not let me bypass this step to continue.
[07:22] <Flannel> Ollie|: right.  It's in the repositories
[07:22] <jscinoz> I'm using a Dell Multimedia Keyboard (SK-8135), I've gotten the keys to all work correctly in the keyboard shortcuts dialog. However, by default they control RhythmBox, i wish to change them so they control Songbird. How would i do this?
[07:22] <tieTYT3> Flannel: thanks
[07:22] <shukhrat> neozen: is it okey i mark all boxes ?
[07:22] <Flannel> Aldante_Fax: #ubuntu+1 for Feisty support
[07:23] <neozen> shukhrat: sure
[07:23] <Aldante_Fax> Flannel: Thank you
[07:23] <neozen> shukhrat: that'll do it
[07:23] <Ollie|> Flannel, many thanks
[07:23] <pavs> hackle577 type cat /proc/cpuinfo
[07:23] <kaizoku> Are there any incredibly simple GUI wifi managers for GNOME?
[07:23] <Derek_Russo> fold0in: listed twice.  I find it very annoying
[07:23] <varsendagger> where are the startup scripts for gnome?
[07:23] <neozen> shukhrat: just make sure you reload your package lists after you do it
[07:23] <Flannel> Ollie|: but actually, you want "php5-gd"
[07:23] <pavs> hi i think i messed up my madwifi i was trying to install a custom compiled one (following instruction online) I think I need it back because when i use my PCI wireless card it doesnt show up as ath0 like it used to, it doesnt sho up at all. please help
[07:23] <yell0w> kaizoku, network-manager-gnome
[07:23] <hackle577> pacs: Thanks! :-)
[07:23] <neozen> kaizoku: yeah... you've already got it
[07:23] <hackle577> *pavs
[07:23] <pavs> np :)
[07:23] <neozen> kaizoku: if you've got gnome installed
[07:23] <peeps> would it help to reinstall xorg via apt-get?
[07:24] <Derek_Russo> fold0in: I am looking for a management system either like AIM itself, where the lists are kept separate, but not in completely different instances, or like trillian where you set a default to talk to a screen name or select which name you want to use when you start an IM
[07:24] <shukhrat> neozen: Many Thanks .... Ubuntu realy good OS !
[07:24] <neozen> kaizoku: sorry... if you've got UBUNTU installed
[07:24] <jscinoz> Hey everyone, I'm using a Dell Multimedia Keyboard (SK-8135), I've gotten the keys to all work correctly in the keyboard shortcuts dialog. However, by default they control RhythmBox, i wish to change them so they control Songbird. How would i do this?
[07:24] <kaizoku> neozen: Can someone who knows nothing about computers use it?
[07:24] <Flannel> peeps: that's not necessary  And probably won't help.  Does it only happen with your account?
[07:24] <mon^rch> zero88_: helloooooo
[07:24] <kaizoku> yell0w: Can someone who knows nothing about computers use it?
[07:24] <neozen> kaizoku: can you do windows wireless networking?
[07:24] <peeps> Flannel, i only have one acount
[07:24] <yell0w> kaizoku, yes
[07:24] <zero88_> mon^rch ya im talking to you in there
[07:24] <neozen> kaizoku: its laid out almost exactly the same way....
[07:24] <zero88_> mon^rch you cant see my words?
[07:24] <fold0in> you could always manually group them
[07:24] <neozen> kaizoku: fewer clicking actually
[07:25] <kaizoku> neozen: I know plenty about linux, but this is for my mom.
[07:25] <fold0in> make two groups.  one for each account
[07:25] <Flannel> peeps: alright.  Try, under sessions, choosing "safe gnome"
[07:25] <neozen> kaizoku: yeah... its easy enough
[07:25] <kaizoku> neozen: I can do any configuring before hand, but when she's wherever using it, I just need it to be simple.
[07:25] <zero88_> mon^rch ?
[07:25] <neozen> kaizoku: she might have to wait a bit for new networks to appear
[07:25] <kaizoku> Aliright thanks neozen.
[07:25] <neozen> kaizoku: but yes.. its grandparent proof
[07:25] <green> i muxt be totally stupid i didnt write down where the media player connectivity wizard is stored
[07:26] <JacktheHomeless> I have a ps2 controller to USB that i bought at radio shack. It allows me to use my ps2 controller to play pc games. Any clue how i could get this working in ubuntu?
[07:26] <neozen> JacktheHomeless: ooooh boy... sounds like fun
[07:26] <kaizoku> neozen: What's it called?
[07:26] <kaizoku> neozen: network-manager-gnome?
[07:26] <neozen> kaizoku: yeah
[07:26] <neozen> kaizoku: its probably already installed
[07:27] <JacktheHomeless> yeah, it is. if only i could get it working. It worked in windows using the drivers that came with it.
[07:27] <neozen> kaizoku: what kind of card is in the box?
[07:27] <JacktheHomeless> but unfortunately, they dont have linux drivers
[07:27] <peeps> Flannel, that did not work either.  I saw some error boxes popup very fast, then it was back to gdm
[07:27] <kaizoku> neozen: It's a broadcom card.
[07:27] <neozen> kaizoku: EWWWWWW
[07:27] <neozen> kaizoku: lol
[07:27] <kaizoku> neozen: haha
[07:27] <neozen> kaizoku: have you got the card working properly?
[07:28] <neozen> kaizoku: the 43xx serious can be a real pain in the arse
[07:28] <kaizoku> neozen: I think so..
[07:28] <neozen> *series
[07:28] <Derek_Russo> will Kopete work in gnome?
[07:28] <kaizoku> Hang one
[07:28] <kaizoku> *on
[07:28] <Flannel> peeps: hmm.  Sorry, Ive run out of ideas.  What do your logs say?  without a specific error, it's sort of a goose chase
[07:28] <mon^rch> hmph, nerermind then :/
[07:28] <Flannel> Derek_Russo: sure
[07:28] <Derek_Russo> heh, that's a stupid question almost certainly
[07:28] <Paddy_EIRE> hey guys which linux OS has been able to use 64 bit processor properly?
[07:29] <Crazytom> kaizoku, what chipset is it?
[07:29] <Flannel> Paddy_EIRE: all of them?
[07:29] <neozen> Paddy_EIRE: all of them with ubuntu kernels
[07:29] <mon^rch> zero88_: you didn't asnwer your pm
[07:29] <Derek_Russo> Flannel: cool, I'm going to give it a try.  Seems a lot nicer than gaim
[07:29] <Paddy_EIRE> at its best performance
[07:29] <neozen> Paddy_EIRE: the newer kernels can handle 64 bit somewhat ok
[07:29] <Derek_Russo> First things first though, I need to get my video card working...
[07:30] <zero88_> mon^rch yes i was
[07:30] <kaizoku> neozen: Yeah, the scanning works and detects my wireless network.
[07:30] <neozen> Paddy_EIRE: you still have to run most stuff in 32 bit mode though
[07:30] <neozen> kaizoku: awesome
[07:30] <Zambezi> I was told to use this command: sudo dpkg -P --force all packagename, but It doesn't work. Now he's sleeping. What command does he mean?
[07:30] <neozen> kaizoku: that's the nasty part
[07:30] <jscinoz> Hey everyone, I'm using a Dell Multimedia Keyboard (SK-8135), I've gotten the keys to all work correctly in the keyboard shortcuts dialog. However, by default they control RhythmBox, i wish to change them so they control Songbird. How would i do this?
[07:30] <neozen> kaizoku: just poke the network manager in the system tray
[07:30] <peeps> Flannel, the Xorg log says X.schedreal: client 1 rejected from localhost
[07:30] <neozen> kaizoku: (near the clock)
[07:30] <Paddy_EIRE> neozen what do you mean running apps in 32 bit mode ? do I have to use a command or something
[07:30] <peeps> then client 3 and 4 and 5 in no particular order
[07:30] <neozen> kaizoku: and it'll give you a list of the viewable networks
[07:30] <yell0w> Zambezi, sudo dpkg --purge packagename ?
[07:30] <kaizoku> Ah hah!
[07:31] <neozen> kaizoku: got it?
[07:31] <neozen> kaizoku: mom-proof yes?
[07:31] <Zambezi> yell0w, I
[07:31] <kaizoku> Yep! Thanks neozen!! :P
[07:31] <Zambezi> yell0w, I'm going to delete everything about the packages and then reinstall.
[07:31] <shnastybiznastic> Is there any particular method for adding a drive in ubuntu that I need to follow, or can I just add a filesystem and set it as mountable in /etc/fstab?
[07:31] <neozen> kaizoku: my pleasure
[07:31] <yell0w> Zambezi, yes, that'll purge it out of your system
[07:32] <Crazytom> kaizoku, did it connect?
[07:32] <neozen> shnastybiznastic: nah... that'll do
[07:32] <neozen> shnastybiznastic: that's about it
[07:32] <yell0w> Zambezi, better yet, why not use aptitude or apt-get ?
[07:32] <mon^rch> zero88_: start synaptic, r-click in the right pane (with all the software) and type in the name of the program you want to get rid of, find it and r-click and remove
[07:32] <yell0w> Zambezi, sudo aptitude purge packagename
[07:32] <neozen> yay aptitude!
[07:32] <yell0w> Zambezi, sudo aptitude install packagename
[07:33] <shnastybiznastic> neozen: cool.  I was worried about vfs or whatever it is that ubuntu uses causing problems
[07:33] <zero88_> mon^rch ive tried that,"sorry for some reason we cant comunicate in pm,i can see your words but u cant see mine" but i didnt install it with synaptic.and all the boxes for the program havent been checked
[07:33] <neozen> I've heard no such beast
[07:33] <yell0w> Zambezi, that'll remove it, including everything (config files, etc) then reinstall it
[07:33] <clearzen> shnastybiznastic: it's nfs and no it won't cause problems
[07:33] <Epic720> I can't seem to figure out how to run fsck on my NTFS raid array. Can anyone help?
[07:34] <neozen> Epic720: you don't want to do that
[07:34] <shnastybiznastic> clearzen: thanks
[07:34] <green> can someone install the media connectivity wizard and tell me where the wizard gets stored?
[07:34] <mon^rch> hehe zero88_ register with nickserv... type: /nickserv register <password>
[07:34] <neozen> Epic720: ntfs support for linux ..... even with ntfs-3g is .............. tricky
[07:34] <Epic720> neozen: why not? I can't write to my sdisk...
[07:35] <mon^rch> zero88_: then you can pm :)
[07:35] <Epic720> but I have been using it so far, now I can't write to the disk.
[07:35] <neozen> Epic720: linux doesn't write to ntfs out of the box
[07:35] <blahman> how come the windows dont run that smooth
[07:35] <yell0w> Epic720, use it at your own risk
[07:35] <Epic720> I am using ntfs-3g
[07:35] <neozen> Epic720: ok
[07:35] <trevlyn13> has any tried to dual-boot windows and ubuntu on an HP dv6000 series notebook?
[07:35] <neozen> Epic720: what went kaboom?
[07:35] <Epic720> I just want to run fsck and try to fix the bad sectors
[07:36] <Epic720> i get I/O errors when trying to write
[07:36] <neozen> Trevinho: vista getting ye down?
[07:36] <neozen> Epic720: is one of your drives bad?
[07:36] <trevlyn13> me?
[07:36] <clearzen> Epic720: NTFS is not supported mainly because it was developed as a proprietary system and not open source
[07:36] <Zambezi> yell0w, Everything is messed up.
[07:36] <neozen> trevlyn13: yeah... you
[07:36] <yell0w> Zambezi, huh ?
[07:36] <trevlyn13> oh, ha
[07:36] <clearzen> ntfs-3g works but it is reversed engineered
[07:36] <Epic720> I don't think either of them are bad, I have only had them a couple of months
[07:36] <trevlyn13> it is running xp, thankfully
[07:37] <neozen> trevlyn13: good
[07:37] <Zambezi> yell0w, I'm going to reinstall the server later today. I can't remove the packages.
[07:37] <Messyman> sweiki
[07:37] <trevlyn13> but i'd really like to learn *nix anyway
[07:37] <Messyman> :)
[07:37] <neozen> trevlyn13: you shouldn't have any probs dual booting
[07:37] <trevlyn13> okay
[07:37] <yell0w> Zambezi, what's the error message ?
[07:37] <Arrick> Flannel, you still around?
[07:37] <trevlyn13> are hassles related to onboard stuff very common>
[07:38] <neozen> trevlyn13: depends on the chipset
[07:38] <Epic720> when I try to run fsck it says that the device or resource is busy while trying to open /dev/sda
[07:38] <Zambezi> yell0w, Writing extended state information... Error! // E: I wasn't able to locate file for the brhl2030lpr package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package. // E: Couldn't lock list directory..are you root?
[07:38] <clearzen> trevlyn13: yes they are. At least in my experience
[07:38] <trevlyn13> hrm
[07:38] <neozen> trevlyn13: for certain hardware
[07:38] <yell0w> Zambezi, did your run it as root ?
[07:38] <trevlyn13> i figure this is a pretty common laptop, so i should be able to find answers if needed
[07:38] <yell0w> Zambezi, forgot sudo ?
[07:38] <neozen> trevlyn13: certain manufacturers
[07:38] <kaizoku> Crazytom: No, it's not connecting..
[07:38] <shnastybiznastic> Epic720: don't try to fsck when it's mounted.  also, if you want to check for bad sectors then run badblocks on the device
[07:38] <neozen> trevlyn13: yeah...
[07:38] <kaizoku> I'm not sure which interface to use, there are three!! O_o
[07:39] <trevlyn13> i guess i'll back everything up tonight and go for it then
[07:39] <clearzen> trevlyn13: There is a lot of support. Maybe I could help what is the problem?
[07:39] <trevlyn13> i haven't started yet
[07:39] <Epic720> the device is not mounted, how do i run badblocks on it?
[07:39] <yell0w> kaizoku, eth1 is wireless
[07:39] <neozen> trevlyn13: what kind of network card, wireless card, etc?
[07:39] <kaizoku> yell0w: Alright, thanks.
[07:39] <trevlyn13> it's integrated wireless/network
[07:39] <trevlyn13> that's my big concern
[07:39] <neozen> trevlyn13: yeah.... what kind of card?
[07:39] <trevlyn13> i've heard that there are problems with getting that to work
[07:39] <shnastybiznastic> epic720:  badblocks /dev/<device name, including partition number>
[07:39] <clearzen> trevlyn13: What is the chipset?
[07:39] <trevlyn13> let me check
[07:39] <Zambezi> yell0w, No. I didn't. I'm getting so annoyed. I just want my printer to work on the network.
[07:39] <Crazytom> trevlyn13, are you on linux now?
[07:40] <neozen> trevlyn13: if its the intel pro wireless 3945abg .... just update to the latest kernel... and you'll be dancing
[07:40] <Crazytom> kaizoku, do lspci -v | grep Broadcom
[07:40] <trevlyn13> no, i'm not
[07:40] <shnastybiznastic> epic720: so. badblocks /dev/sda1 (assuming you have only one partition on the drive
[07:40] <trevlyn13> i'm on windows xp media
[07:40] <trevlyn13> it's not intel wireless, i'm sure of that
[07:40] <safer> crdlb: are you here or afk....?
[07:40] <clearzen> neozen: I think our names are to similar....damnit
[07:40] <trevlyn13> it's a turion
[07:40] <crdlb> safer, here
[07:40] <neozen> trevlyn13: turion?
[07:40] <Crazytom> trevlyn13, broadcom?
[07:40] <yell0w> Zambezi are you running it with synaptics or other install/reinstall utilities opepend ?
[07:40] <trevlyn13> yup
[07:40] <kaizoku> Crazytom: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306
[07:41] <trevlyn13> broadcom
[07:41] <safer> crdlb: Hello ---- have you ever used Xgl before?
[07:41] <clearzen> trevlyn13:  pastebin lspci -v
[07:41] <clearzen> oh
[07:41] <neozen> Crazytom: she's already got it running mon
[07:41] <Crazytom> kaizoku, good you're extremely lucky
[07:41] <neozen> Crazytom: no worries
 Crazytom: No, it's not connecting
[07:41] <Zambezi> yell0w, I'm installing it on a server so I can have the printer in another room with alot more space.
[07:41] <trevlyn13> sounds like i should be okay then
[07:41] <Crazytom> kaizoku, have you installed fwcutter?
[07:41] <crdlb> safer, only before compiz supported aiglx (and lets go to #ubuntu-effects)
[07:42] <Zambezi> yell0w, I'm not using X on that computer.
[07:42] <yell0w> Zambezi, also, are you sure blhl2030lpr is the pakcage name ?
[07:42] <trevlyn13> you guys haven't scared me off
[07:42] <neozen> trevlyn13: it'll get nasty.... then it'll get better
[07:42] <kaizoku> Crazytom: No
[07:42] <trevlyn13> i figured as much
[07:42] <trevlyn13> i have a few more PCs, so it's not like i'm doing this on my main box
[07:42] <neozen> trevlyn13: broadcom's can be ....difficult
[07:42] <kaizoku> Crazytom: My home network is using WPA btw.
[07:42] <Crazytom> kaizoku, you want help?
[07:42] <Zambezi> yell0w, Yes cause I used bash completion.
[07:42] <kaizoku> Crazytom: Yeah, that might be nice.
[07:42] <yell0w> Zambezi, i can't find it in any repos, and im' running dapper
[07:42] <kaizoku> Crazytom: I don't really know my way around Ubuntu.
[07:42] <trevlyn13> well, i guess i'll start working on it tonight and see what happens
[07:42] <kaizoku> Crazytom: I'm familiar with gentoo, and that's about it
[07:42] <neozen> kaizoku: no worries.... network-manager-gnome plays nice with wpa_supplicant
[07:43] <neozen> kaizoku: manages all the nasty stuff behind the scenes
[07:43] <trevlyn13> thanks for the insight
[07:43] <Zambezi> yell0w, I found it on a howto on www.ubuntuforums.org for my Brother HL-2030.
[07:43] <jscinoz> Hey everyone, I'm using a Dell Multimedia Keyboard (SK-8135), I've gotten the keys to all work correctly in the keyboard shortcuts dialog. However, by default they control RhythmBox, i wish to change them so they control Songbird. How would i do this?
[07:43] <neozen> trevlyn13: no worries mon
[07:43] <vaibuntujohn> is there a way, after install, to get ubuntu to recognize a second (or even third) hard drive with all my partitions containing music and movies and other various files? The partitions are in FAT32 but I don't need to write to them at all... only read, so I can open all of my files i've saved from windows? sry so long
[07:43] <wmhtet> where can i check log for last login info?
[07:43] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: heck yeah
[07:43] <OpenTokix> Anyone know how to get grub to boot SATA-drives from intel 975-mobo?
[07:43] <vaibuntujohn> saweat
[07:43] <Crazytom> kaizoku, in a terminal sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter
[07:43] <vaibuntujohn> how?
[07:43] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: really easy..... now where did I put that guide
[07:44] <kaizoku> neozen: So I can just put my WPA PSK in for the "Network Password"
[07:44] <vaibuntujohn> lol
[07:44] <kaizoku> ?
[07:44] <vaibuntujohn> hmmm
[07:44] <neozen> kaizoku: yeah... after selecting the proper key type
[07:44] <Crazytom> kaizoku, btw you haven't installed ndiswrapper either have you?
[07:44] <neozen> kaizoku: and if you're running gnome services on bootup .... which you should be...
[07:44] <kaizoku> Crazytom: No
[07:44] <yell0w> Zambezi, ok , try sudo dpkg --purge packagname then
[07:44] <Messyman> what is the replacement of windows c++ builder on ubuntu?
[07:44] <neozen> kaizoku: the gnome keyring daemon will remember all your network password
[07:44] <neozen> Messyman: LOL
[07:45] <Crazytom> kaizoku, good
[07:45] <neozen> Messyman: g++
[07:45] <Zambezi> yell0w, Seriously I'm about to give up.
[07:45] <clearzen> Messyman: gcc
[07:45] <yell0w> Zambezi, it should work
[07:45] <neozen> clearzen: c++ mon... not c
[07:45] <arooni> hey does anyone know how to speed up the playback of the mplayer plugin?
[07:46] <neozen> arooni: you have an ati or nvidia?
[07:46] <kaizoku> Crazytom: "E: Couldn't find package bcm43xx-fwcutter"
[07:46] <arooni> neozen: hmmm i have an integrated intel video card thig (brand new sony laptop, so not quet sure).. i know the '-' seems to slow the video down
[07:46] <arooni> i cant find its inverse
[07:46] <kaizoku> Crazytom: Oh whoops, nevermind, I unplugged the ethernet cord.
[07:47] <neozen> arooni: + perhaps?
[07:47] <arooni> neozen: thats whad you think;;; doesnt do anything :(
[07:47] <Zambezi> yell0w, The problem is I despreatly need to put my server online soon. I can't mess around with it anymore. :-(
[07:47] <arooni> i can only watch slowwer
[07:47] <arooni> not faster
[07:47] <neozen> arooni: strange
[07:47] <neozen> arooni: man mplayer
[07:47] <yell0w> Zambezi, all that'll do is try to purge the specific package
[07:48] <yell0w> Zambezi, it won't affect other stuff like apache or whatever
[07:48] <vaibuntujohn> neozen: any luck on that guide? sry im very new to lynux
[07:48] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: no worries
[07:48] <neozen> !ntfs
[07:48] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[07:48] <Zambezi> yell0w, I want to get rid of everything cupssys-related, so I think I'm going to reinstall it.
[07:48] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: that'll do for now
[07:49] <shukhrat> how i can change my root password ?
[07:49] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: take a look at the first recommendation by ubotu
[07:49] <neozen> shukhrat: you don't..... there is no root password
[07:50] <yell0w> Zambezi, ok, if you say so, all i'm saying is, a problem like this shouldn't make you have to reinstall
[07:50] <neozen> shukhrat: I think you mean change YOUR password
[07:50] <vaibuntujohn> thanks guys
[07:50] <neozen> shukhrat: and the way to do that ... from the command line is passwd
[07:50] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: no worries
[07:50] <neozen> !botsnack
[07:50] <ubotu> Yum!
[07:50] <kaizoku> Crazytom: It still can't find the package.
[07:50] <neozen> good botling
[07:51] <Zambezi> yell0w, I got an idea. Sleep a couple of hours, reinstall the server :-( and setup a printserver on another computer.
[07:51] <neozen> awwwwwwwww
[07:51] <Crazytom> kaizoku, try using synaptic
[07:51] <neozen> but sleep is a good idea
[07:51] <neozen> has helped me with a lot of things
[07:51] <yell0w> Zambezi, lol, sweet dreams, i'm about to hit bed soon as well
[07:52] <wm_eddie_> Has anybody noticed that .bash_history is owned by root in the feisty beta?
[07:52] <shukhrat> neozen: i type in terminal su to switch root , but it's say's Authentication failure
[07:52] <kaizoku> Crazytom: I did..
[07:52] <neozen> ....getting away from the computer and making food or something typically causes a perspective shift
[07:52] <yell0w> !sudo | shukhrat
[07:52] <ubotu> shukhrat: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[07:52] <neozen> shukhrat: with ubuntus you don't use su.. you use sudo
[07:52] <yell0w> 'night all
[07:52] <Crazytom> kaizoku, are you sure it's connected to the net?
[07:52] <neozen> nini yello
[07:52] <kaizoku> Yes
[07:53] <neozen> w
[07:53] <neozen> Crazytom: I think she's ok mon
[07:53] <Zambezi> yell0w, I'm going to bed now. The server would be down, but I can't do anything about it. And then I reinstall this computer when Feisty is released. And then I start over from zero.
[07:53] <lgc> Hi! What's the command to find out about my hardware?
[07:53] <Zambezi> yell0w, Good night.
[07:53] <neozen> Crazytom: its working from what she's saying
[07:53] <neozen> Crazytom: if it ain't broke.... don't break it
[07:53] <Arrick> is there a way to create a user that has access to the complete root dir other than root
[07:53] <Arrick> ?
[07:53] <Ademan> is GNU Hurd still being actively developed? i always thought microkernels were interesting
[07:54] <neozen> lgc: lspci
[07:54] <lgc> neozen, thanks.
[07:54] <wm_eddie_> Ademan:  Kind of.  Some people have gotten GNOME to run on it.
[07:54] <neozen> lgc: no problem
[07:54] <Arrick> or at least something like sim-links for connecting to stuff other than a home dir
[07:54] <wm_eddie_> Ademan: Or you can run Apple's hybrid micro-kernel darwin.
[07:54] <neozen> lgc: lsusb works for usb devices
[07:54] <neozen> mmmmmmmmmm darwin
[07:55] <neozen> tasty kernel
[07:55] <gRaCi0s0> who has here a cache proxy configured with squid here and could help me please?
[07:55] <Ademan> darwin isn't GPL is it?
[07:55] <Crazytom> neozen, what are you talking about?  they reconnected the ethernet and synaptic can't find the fwcutter package.  the wireless still isn't working.
[07:55] <kaizoku> Ademan: No, OpenDarwin has it's own license.
[07:55] <neozen> Crazytom: oooh
[07:55] <kaizoku> Ademan: I don't know about just plain Darwin though.
[07:55] <OpenTokix> *phew* my windows installation boots again =)
[07:56] <neozen> Crazytom: she said it could see all the wireless networks
[07:56] <lgc> neozen, thanks again.
[07:56] <neozen> Crazytom: he?
[07:56] <neozen> lgc: no problem mon
[07:56] <neozen> Crazytom: kai.. that one
[07:56] <Crazytom> neozen, seeing wireless networks doens't mean that it can connect that happens when the firmware isn't installed hence the fwcutter package
[07:57] <gRaCi0s0> who has here a cache proxy configured with squid here and could help me please?
[07:57] <neozen> Crazytom: O.o
[07:57] <neozen> Crazytom: didn't know
[07:57] <neozen> Crazytom: strange beastie
[07:57] <Crazytom> neozen, i'm just trying to help, i have no idea the gender
[07:57] <Crazytom> neozen, perhaps we could ask
[07:57] <neozen> Crazytom: not that it matters much
[07:57] <Crazytom> kaizoku, ?
[07:58] <kaizoku> Crazytom: Yah?
[07:58] <Crazytom> kaizoku, are you a chick?
[07:58] <neozen> lol
[07:58] <kaizoku> Crazytom: No, why?
[07:58] <Crazytom> kaizoku, neozen seemed to think that so i didn't know
[07:59] <neozen> I've been helping many girls out w/ that damn series of cards
[07:59] <kaizoku> Huh
[07:59] <kaizoku> haha
[07:59] <neozen> kaizoku: sorry
[07:59] <kaizoku> Oh, don't worry about it.
[07:59] <Derek_Russo> SUCCESS! I got my ati video card installed
[07:59] <Derek_Russo> That may not seem exciting, but I've been trying for several days
[07:59] <neozen> kaizoku: funny thing is.... I don't actually own one myself
[07:59] <TaJMoX> Apparently linux is hogging all the internet bandwith on my LAN and nobody else can view a webpage when i'm downloading a single file.. is there any way i can limit the ammount of bandwith my computer uses?   Like if I can limit it to 50KB/s that'd be awesome.
[08:00] <lgc> Arrick, do you want just ONE user to have such privileges?
[08:00] <neozen> kaizoku: so I haven't actually had the ability to do much pounding on it first-hand
[08:00] <Crazytom> kaizoku, can you ping yahoo.com for me?
[08:01] <Arrick> lgc, i want to learn how to do this, so i can assign a home directory and also let them access their respective /var/www/www.blah.com dir's
[08:01] <kaizoku> Crazytom: Done.
[08:01] <Crazytom> guys what's a good repository that's sure to have fwcutter in it?  anyone?
[08:01] <gRaCi0s0> who has here a cache proxy configured with squid and could help me please?
[08:02] <Derek_Russo> Can I get some help installing Kopete?  I'm new to linux so I've never really installed something like this
[08:02] <Crazytom> my fiesty install has had that package in the repositories by defaut
[08:03] <lgc> Arrick, I don't quite understand what you want to do, but at the risk of saying something trivial, have you considered changing the g+rw permissions of the /home/root dir?
[08:04] <thiagocmartinsc> TaJMoX: Try a script from Linux Advanced Routing & Traffic Control HOWTO to control your bandwith
[08:04] <TaJMoX> hey thanks
[08:04] <Arrick> lgc, Im not changing permision on /home/root for anything
[08:04] <thiagocmartinsc> I can do a ssh session smothly with this script from howto
[08:04] <Crazytom> kaizoku, what version are you using?  edgy?
[08:04] <crazyb> #ubuntu
[08:04] <kaizoku> Crazytom: The latest.
[08:04] <crazyb> oops
[08:05] <Crazytom> kaizoku, the one that's beta?
[08:05] <gRaCi0s0> who has here a cache proxy configured with squid and could help me please?
[08:05] <crazyb> is there a ubuntu noob section?
[08:05] <kaizoku> Crazytom: Um..yeah, it's Edgy.
[08:05] <TaJMoX> The beta isn't considered the latest release.
[08:05] <crazyb> cause i have some serious noob questions
[08:05] <kaizoku> Crazytom: 6.10
[08:05] <Crazytom> kaizoku, ok
[08:05] <camer0ff> using xfce4-terminal, how to i put running applications into the background?
[08:06] <neozen> crazyb: let 'em fly mon
[08:06] <lgc> Arrick, you do well. But perhaps you might want to make a special group of users with privileges over /home/root files, with chgrp.
[08:06] <crazyb> well i need help with beryl, and some comands that are not working, dont make fun
[08:07] <neozen> Crazyb: ahh ... beryl
[08:07] <Crazytom> kaizoku, make sure you have access the the universe repos here's a link
[08:07] <Crazytom> kaizoku, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages?action=show&redirect=UniversePackages
[08:07] <Arrick> that might be a possiblilty, but right now... I think a symlink will do well
[08:07] <crazyb> yeah, i want to check it out
[08:07] <Arrick> lgc, I think man ln is working for me
[08:07] <neozen> crazyb: get thee to #ubuntu-effects
[08:07] <crazyb> my friend wants it on his laptop, but i need to figure it out first
[08:07] <crazyb> ok, thanks
[08:07] <neozen> crazyb: they've got beryl locked down over there
[08:07] <thiagocmartinsc> TaJMoX: Hey man... I found the script you need apply in your gateway: http://lartc.org/lartc.html#AEN2233
[08:08] <crazyb> ok, thanks
[08:08] <thiagocmartinsc> :-P
[08:08] <lgc> Arrick, see also the 'sudo' command. It might help you.
[08:08] <tehchieftain> how does one change their ubuntu password?
[08:08] <Arrick> yeah
[08:09] <enyc> tehchieftain: erm... tere are probably other ways of doing this...  use the "passwd" command at terminal
[08:09] <Crazytom> how do i get a list of bot commands like !hi and such
[08:09] <gRaCi0s0> who could help me with squid i have a dude?
[08:09] <kane77> tehchieftain, passwd
[08:09] <Arrick> how do I set the system time for the correct time in ubuntu 6.06.1?
[08:09] <Arrick> this thing is 3 hours off
[08:10] <lgc> Crazytom, hiTABTAB, or whateverTABTAB.
[08:10] <thiagocmartinsc> Ubuntu guys... I want to use syslog-ng... but aptitude tell me ubuntu-minimal will be BROKEN... why ubuntu-minimal doesn't deppend on "syslog-ng | sysklogd"  ??
[08:10] <enyc> Arrick: well theses probably other ways to get it to keep itself right...  open terminal and "sudo ntpdate -u pool.ntp.org"
[08:10] <kane77> Arrick, do you have correct timezone?
[08:10] <kane77> Arrick, use "sudo ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com"
[08:10] <Arrick> kane77, not sure, i thought I did when i installed
[08:11] <Arrick> kane77, arrick@Lamp-Server:~$ sudo ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com
[08:11] <Arrick> sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Apr 12 05:21:10 2007
[08:11] <Arrick> arrick@Lamp-Server:~$
[08:11] <Arrick> its only 2:11 here
[08:11] <niall> hey guys
[08:11] <enyc> Arrick: thats intreresting.. you cant run sudo seemingly!!
[08:11] <icyhot> anyone know how to get a true transparent borderless terminal in ubuntu?
[08:12] <Arrick> enyc, I just did to install samba, I dont see how you got that from there
[08:12] <kane77> Arrick, look up your timezone (System -> Administration -> Time and date)
[08:12] <Crazytom> kaizoku, how's it going?
[08:12] <Arrick> kane77, this is terminal only
[08:12] <kane77> icyhot, beryl/compiz
[08:12] <thiagocmartinsc> :-S
[08:12] <kaizoku> Crazytom: Alright, I wasn't getting the same dialouge listed there, but I figured it out.
[08:12] <LoneShadow> Hi, I just upgraded from dapper to edgy. Now all my applications open up left top corner, and I cant move those windows
[08:12] <LoneShadow> any idea what might be broken ?
[08:13] <thiagocmartinsc> ptz...
[08:13] <kane77> icyhot, although I found the transparency that is present suits me better..
[08:13] <Crazytom> kaizoku, ok try this again sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter
[08:13] <kaizoku> Crazytom: PWNAGE
[08:13] <niall> I have 3 hard drives mounted. One has Ubuntu on it and the other two are for storage. I have one mounted and can read and write to it but the other one says that I don't own it. Is there a way to change this?
[08:13] <kaizoku> "P
[08:13] <kaizoku> *:P
[08:13] <icyhot> kane77: thanks for that.  i found a thread @ http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=81727 that suggested alltray/composite/transset-df, do you think ur suggestion is better and does it work with gnome-terminal?
[08:14] <octoberdan> I have a list of files that need to be coppied from one place to another while preserving directory structure. I was planning on using tar and --files-from, but fail when the tar file reaches a certain size. Is there a way I can do this with cp?
[08:14] <lgc> Crazytom, did you get my answer?
[08:14] <enyc> Arrick: puzzzzling... try "sudo -K" first
[08:14] <kaizoku> Crazytom: Is that all?
[08:14] <Crazytom> kaizoku, no
[08:14] <Crazytom> lgc, kindof, i figured it out
[08:14] <icyhot> i just want something like http://img494.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tterm27ja.jpg
[08:14] <octoberdan> I know I should use --archive, but what I need to automate the coppying from the list since there are thousands of files
[08:14] <jscinoz> Hey everyone, I'm using a Dell Multimedia Keyboard (SK-8135), I've gotten the keys to all work correctly in the keyboard shortcuts dialog. However, by default they control RhythmBox, i wish to change them so they control Songbird. How would i do this?
[08:15] <Arrick> enyc, not that i dont trust you, what does sudo -K do?
[08:15] <LoneShadow> anyway know how I can fix my X windows on edgy ?
[08:15] <enyc> Arrick: then try "sudo ntpdate -u ntp.ubuntu.com"
[08:15] <Crazytom> kaizoku, download this to your desktop http://boredklink.googlepages.com/wl_apsta.o
[08:15] <enyc> Arrick: apparently remozves users' sudo tmiestampp... so you can re-authenticate with sude if somethingc being silly...
[08:15] <LoneShadow> "I just upgraded from dapper to edgy. Now all my applications open up left top corner, and I cant move those windows"
[08:15] <kane77> icyhot, yes, beryl/compiz is realy a composite manager...
[08:15] <shukhrat> !lamp
[08:15] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[08:15] <lgc> Crazytom, OK.
[08:16] <jscinoz> !mediakeys
[08:16] <ubotu> Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts (Gnome) or "Input Actions" in KControl (KDE). If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try keytouch - http://keytouch.sourceforge.net
[08:16] <Crazytom> lgc, thanks
[08:16] <enyc> Arrick: just tried it mysely... does not stop me running sudo
[08:16] <Arrick> ok
[08:16] <Arrick> enyc, timestamp too far in the future
[08:17] <Arrick> great, now I cant sudo at all enyc
[08:17] <Arrick> so you were correct
[08:17] <icyhot> kane77: ok, cool.  would you happen to know if either of them would work with an ATI mobility x700 card?  I heard rumors awhile back that they only work with nvidia hw, but not sure.
[08:17] <sorcerer> guys i tried installing my codecs and wat not this morning but thet all were messed up i just installed ubuntu and .. i need flash .. and java script to work with firefox
[08:17] <Crazytom> kaizoku, done?

[08:18] <sorcerer> any one can help
[08:18] <sorcerer> please ?
[08:18] <kaizoku>  Crazytom Yah

[08:18] <enyc> Arrick: bah
[08:18] <enyc> Arrick: Ive not heard of that problem...
[08:18] <enyc> Arrick: sudo is complaining due to time...
[08:18] <kane77> icyhot, there are ati drivers for sure, but I cannot tell if it works, I have nvidia... but I believe it does...
[08:18] <Crazytom> kaizoku, sudo bcm43xx-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware ~/Desktop/wl_apsta.o
[08:18] <enyc> Arrick: stamp between 2 files
[08:19] <Crazytom> kaizoku, here's a tip: use tab to autocomplete
[08:19] <enyc> Arrick: err... see if you can "sudo -s" -- can you get a root (ends in #) prompt up then?
[08:19] <kane77> enyc, it's not sudo complaining its ntpdate... happens to me sometimes
[08:19] <kaizoku> Crazytom: Yeah
[08:19] <Crazytom> kaizoku, done?
[08:19] <kaizoku> Crazytom: I'm not a *total* n00b.
[08:19] <kaizoku> Crazytom: Yes
[08:19] <icyhot> kane77: alright, thanks.
[08:19] <Arrick> enyc, timestamp too far in the future
[08:20] <Crazytom> kaizoku, sudo bcm43xx-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware/`uname -r` ~/Desktop/wl_apsta.o

[08:20] <denys> hey. I just tried to change my skydome in beryl. it worked fine before, but now all i can see are the two gradient colors. i've tried going back to the skydome image i used before, but it wont show either.....anybody get that bug before?
[08:20] <kaizoku> Crazytom: If you haven't yet, you might want to try out zsh's autocomplete features.
[08:20] <michup> hi, ive problem with my VGA and with my sound controller
[08:20] <kane77> Crazytom, yep, autocomplete saves keyboards :)
[08:21] <neozen> kaizoku: zsh... hmm.... heard of .. never poked at

[08:21] <michup> can someone help me?
[08:21] <kaizoku> neozen: It's really nice, and incredibly extensible.
[08:21] <neozen> kaizoku: I too use bash... but I'll start poking @ zsh
[08:21] <kane77> !anyone | michup
[08:21] <ubotu> michup: 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?
[08:21] <kaizoku> Crazytom: You should definitely check out zsh if you like bash's autocomplete.
[08:22] <kaizoku> Crazytom: zsh's is so customizable..
[08:22] <Crazytom> kaizoku, ok i will
[08:22] <neozen> kaizoku: O.o.... that's one of my favorite features of bash
[08:22] <michup> my vga is VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML
[08:22] <Crazytom> kaizoku, your wireless is probably working now
[08:22] <kaizoku> Crazytom: It also has autocomplete for a lot of command line options like chmod's and gnupg's.

[08:26] <tunganet> Does anyone know if Macromedia Flash MX (the program for making animation) work on ubuntu?
[08:26] <lgc> Crazytom, you should be able to get it from the command line!
[08:26] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: and affect the changes you made
[08:26] <neozen> tunganet: um.... take a look @ winehq
[08:26] <michup> and i works pretty nice until i get in place with large space

[08:27] <Crazytom> lgc, i was talking about bot commands in here not in a cli
[08:27] <Mr_Giraffe> i can see colors for events, but not when i try to use them
[08:27] <neozen> kaizoku: if you're using network-manager-gnome... it'll take care of wpa & wep
[08:27] <broedje> sorcerer : maybe
[08:28] <kaizoku> neozen: So I should be using eth1, right?
[08:28] <kaizoku> neozen: Not wlan0?
[08:28] <sorcerer> broedje:  automatic installation failed due to network problems or upstream changes i get this error when i try the update the flashplug in after installing it
[08:28] <neozen> kaizoku: hmmm.. you use the one.... that works
[08:28] <vaibuntujohn> neozen: is that the same as the first option in the guide? so i would just type in terminal "sudo mount -a" ?
[08:28] <lgc> Crazytom, oops!

[08:28] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: yeah... do that

[08:30] <Crazytom> me
[08:30] <Mr_Giraffe> Crazytom, are you able to use color codes?
[08:30] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: should be an option in your irc client to play a sound when someone says your name in irc
[08:30] <Mr_Giraffe> or text formatting in general?
[08:30] <broedje> gaim => pidgin
[08:31] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: I know there is in gaim
[08:31] <TaJMoX> Arrick : try setting your date earlier see if it does something

[08:35] <neozen> Epic720: personally .. I'd go for ext3
[08:35] <TaJMoX> mmDDHHMM YY
[08:35] <neozen> Epic720: but that's just me
[08:35] <vaibuntujohn> neozen: i'm using gaim (ive seriously used it less than an hour so far, so i dont know where that setting would be, or if it even does any notice when someone types your name) right now it's not doing it. Does any one know how to turn that option on???
[08:35] <scottam> epic720: is there any reason to use ext2?
[08:35] <Arrick> says the exact same thing TaJMoX
[08:35] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: goooood
[08:35] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: I can talk you through gaim
[08:36] <vaibuntujohn> saweet
[08:36] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: I'm using a seriously decrepit version (the one from the dapper repos) but hopefully they haven't changed too much
[08:36] <Crazytom> neozen, you are violating copyright law
[08:36] <HAKANTURK> H0130 ALL
[08:37] <gesus> hey there
[08:37] <neozen> Crazytom: am I?
[08:37] <Epic720> scottam: IDK, never ran raid with linux FS
[08:37] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: in the buddy list window, hit cntrl-P
[08:37] <Epic720> is it easy to set up raid 0 with hardware raid?
[08:37] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: or select Tools Menu -> Preferences
[08:37] <vaibuntujohn> yep
[08:37] <Crazytom> neozen, just kidding, but gaim isn't gaim anymore
[08:37] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: should see sounds
[08:38] <neozen> below conversations
[08:38] <gesus> i've got a text file a and i want to make a directory from each line in the text file (i.e. it is a text file, with a list of students' names separated by line break) and i don't want to manually create 1200 directories. easy answer??
[08:38] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: conversations might be expanded...
[08:38] <vaibuntujohn> neozen: im golden, thanx
[08:38] <vaibuntujohn> :)
[08:38] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: awesome
[08:39] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: now you should be set for ....... a few hours or so
[08:39] <scottam> epic: i'm running 2 software raid 5 arrays LVMed together with ext3 on top just fine.....the "hardware" raid that came on my motherboard wasn't really hardware, so you're best bet may simply be to software raid it if you don't mind a 1% of a 1.8GHz P4 performance "hit"
[08:39] <vaibuntujohn> neozen: now to turn the stereo up and scare the piz out of my roomates cat!:-D
[08:39] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: you'll wake up 3 hours from now to the red-alert from star-trek being emitted from your comp every few secs
[08:39] <scottam> epic720: but it's not my boot drive, so i can't give any input there
[08:40] <Epic720> neither are mine
[08:40] <achandra> scottam: ahh the wonders of software raid...it works just fine...doesnt it :)
[08:40] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: lol.... run gnome-alsamixer
[08:40] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: from terminal or from the run window you get by pressing alt-f2
[08:41] <scottam> software raid used to suck in 2002, but since the 2.6 kernel it's really nice
[08:41] <neozen> achandra: software raid.... OOOOO
[08:41] <neozen> achandra: got a good guide for that?
[08:41] <neozen> just kidding
[08:41] <neozen> but still.. I've got a buddy interested in that
[08:42] <erUSUL> !fakeraid
[08:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fakeraid - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:42] <michup> is there other drivers for intel then i810?
[08:42] <erUSUL> !lvm
[08:42] <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
[08:42] <michup> mayby better?
[08:42] <sogen> can someone sey what is wrong with that comand ?  ./poweriso list /mnt/iso/obsd39/cd39.iso /
[08:42] <sogen> it dont works :(
[08:42] <vaibuntujohn> neozen: hahahh... tried in run and said coulnt open file? hmm
[08:42] <thoughtfix> It's been a long time since I crawled into IRC asking for support on Linux, but my "desktop linux" experience is quite limited. Anyway: Installing Ubuntu on an ultra-mobile PC with only an 800x480 display. Specifying 800x480x32 on boot doesn't do it for me... the installer windows still go off the screen.
[08:42] <achandra> neozen: the best guide I know of is actually put together by redhat...its is an advanced server 3.0 guide available freely on the internet in PDF format. It really is well written.
[08:42] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: might want to install via aptitude
[08:43] <OpenTokix> sogen: What did you want to happen?
[08:43] <scottam> mdadm is what i use, but i don't have a good guide for it
[08:43] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: good solid mixer
[08:43] <sogen> OpenTokix: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-do-i-open-daa-direct-access-archive-files-under-linux-or-unix-oses/
[08:43] <vaibuntujohn> neozen: just google aptitude?
[08:43] <sogen> OpenTokix: i do like there is writed and it dont works
[08:43] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: no
[08:43] <vaibuntujohn> hahaha
[08:43] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: load up a terminal
[08:43] <sogen> OpenTokix: i need burn cd with .daa file
[08:43] <vaibuntujohn> aight
[08:43] <matason> Hi I've got Dapper installed on my IBM X31, it's got an Atheros wireless card built but I get incredibly slow data transfer over wireless compared to my HP NX8220 which also has Dapper installed - any ideas why?
[08:43] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: sudo aptitude install gnome-alsamixer
[08:44] <OpenTokix> samit: mount -o loop -t iso9660 /path/to/your.iso /mount/point/
[08:44] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: I might have the name wrong
[08:44] <thoughtfix> Best case scenario: Is there a text-only installer?
[08:44] <OpenTokix> samit: ^^^^
[08:44] <user____> what do i do when linux freezes?
[08:44] <neozen> matason: hmmmmmmmmm
[08:44] <OpenTokix> samit: Im having tab-completion problems here =)
[08:44] <neozen> matason: update to latest kernel
[08:44] <OpenTokix> sogen: mount -o loop -t iso9660 /path/to/your.iso /mount/point/
[08:44] <user____> for instance i start wine wow.exe and sometimes it just freezes..
[08:44] <matason> I'm not sure exactly how to test the speed difference but it's noticable
[08:44] <user____> is there a way to do ctrl+alt+delete on linux?
[08:44] <scottam> user____: first see what froze, is it the entire OS or the windows manager?
[08:44] <OpenTokix> sogen: Then you have it mounted like a filesystem and you can extract whatever files you like.
[08:44] <neozen> matason: original dapper kernel drivers not so good with certain cards
[08:45] <matason> neozen: Yeh I've got that coming down now
[08:45] <user____> how do i see that?
[08:45] <neozen> matason: good stuff
[08:45] <OpenTokix> user____: does caps lock work?
[08:45] <scottam> user____: do you have another computer to try to ping or ssh in?
[08:45] <user____> os doesn't feeze cause xmms continues to play
[08:45] <user____> caps works
[08:45] <OpenTokix> sogen: as root ofc.
[08:45] <neozen> matason: when its done installing ... reboot (installing a new kernel is the ONLY time you HAVE to reboot linux)
[08:45] <matason> neozen: linux-image-2.6.15-28-386
[08:46] <OpenTokix> user____: ctrl+alt + F1 will drop you in a text console
[08:46] <scottam> user____: ok, so you can ctrl-alt-1 into a new shell?
[08:46] <icyhot> kane77: i've got beryl all installed now and have the emerald tray icon.. but um... how do i do anything?
[08:46] <scottam> user____: oops, F1
[08:46] <neozen> matason: yeah.. that's the newest one to my knowledge
[08:46] <neozen> matason: its the one I use
[08:46] <OpenTokix> scottam: you made me unsure there =)
[08:46] <neozen> matason: its support for the intel pro wireless 3945 is superb
[08:46] <user____> and if that doesn't work?
[08:46] <vaibuntujohn> neozen: it looked like it installed alright (it said "done done done") but uhh, its still not working  to pull it up from run?
[08:46] <scottam> user____: that's odd.....
[08:47] <OpenTokix> user____: ctrl + alt + backspace ?
[08:47] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: hmmmmmmmmmmm
[08:47] <matason> neozen: I've always installed the updates and it's not improved it in the past, this has been a long term problem, I'm just didn't have time to sort it yet
[08:47] <OpenTokix> user____: that will restart X11
[08:47] <neozen> matason: awwwww
[08:47] <neozen> matason: sorry to hear that
[08:47] <user____> ok
[08:47] <scottam> user____: and all your programs you opened in it
[08:47] <matason> neozen: Yeh I've thought about just replacing the card
[08:47] <OpenTokix> user____: yes, what scottam said
[08:47] <user____> hope next time  i won't have to reboot
[08:47] <vaibuntujohn> neozen: im gonna mess with it for a min and get back to ya, i'm sure ill figure it out
[08:47] <vaibuntujohn> i hop[e
[08:47] <neozen> matason: I've got a lot of friends with cards using the atheros chipset... and they've had no issues whatsoever
[08:47] <OpenTokix> scottam: incl irc =)
[08:47] <user____> i use  terminal - wine wow.exe -openGL
[08:47] <matason> neozen: But I'm not sure where to get one and exactly which to get
[08:48] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: kk... go have fun poking you
[08:48] <user____> and firefox
[08:48] <user____> gaim xmms and xchat
[08:48] <user____> those where my programs when it happend
[08:48] <scottam> user____ and opentokix: =) thats why the first thing i did was ask if he had another computer
[08:48] <matason> neozen: OK well I'll keep my fingers crossed for this kernel :)
[08:48] <neozen> matason: me too
[08:48] <OpenTokix> scottam: hehe - stupid other computers! ;)
[08:48] <matason> neozen: Thanks
[08:49] <OpenTokix> scottam: but good point
[08:49] <sogen> OpenTokix: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
[08:49] <sogen>        missing codepage or other error
[08:49] <sogen>        In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
[08:49] <sogen>        dmesg | tail  or so
[08:49] <Arrick> ok got that issue fixed by hard reboot
[08:49] <vaibuntujohn> neozen: i didnt look very closely; Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "gnome-alsamixer"
[08:49] <vaibuntujohn> No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.
[08:49] <user____> so if it freezes either ctrl+alt+f1 or ctrl+alt+backspace
[08:49] <AndrewB> !pastebin | sogen
[08:49] <ubotu> sogen: 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)
[08:49] <scottam> user____: so you're running IRC on the computer with the freeze problem?
[08:49] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: ahh
[08:49] <user____> yes
[08:49] <OpenTokix> sogen: ok, bad luck - did you download poweriso?
[08:49] <user____> i restarted linux
[08:49] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: let me double-check that packagename
[08:49] <scottam> user____: but it's not frozen now?
[08:49] <sogen> OpenTokix: yes
[08:49] <user____> ofc not
[08:49] <sogen> OpenTokix: but i dont know how it works :(
[08:50] <OpenTokix> safer: ok
[08:50] <sogen> OpenTokix: i have .daa file and i do not know what to do with it
[08:50] <OpenTokix> sogen: ok
[08:50] <thoughtfix> I am completely insane. I am trying to install Ubuntu on an origami ultra-mobile PC with a pair of 2GB CompactFlash cards instead of a hard drive.
[08:50] <OpenTokix> sogen: rm? ;)
[08:50] <user____> let's say i  use ctrl+alt+f1  then what? i get in text mode.. what do i do? startx?
[08:50] <sogen> OpenTokix: rm ?
[08:50] <vaibuntujohn> neozen: you want the rest of what came up? that was only a portion
[08:50] <OpenTokix> sogen: Delete it and you don't have to worry about it anymore =)
[08:50] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: have you added the universe repository?
[08:50] <vaibuntujohn> nope
[08:50] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: you're going to want to do that
[08:51] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: all the good free stuff is there
[08:51] <OpenTokix> sogen: but the page you pasted to me explained good
[08:51] <sogen> OpenTokix: but how i can burn .daa file without poweriso ?
[08:51] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: not officially supported by ubuntu
[08:51] <scottam> user____: if ctrl-alt-f1 doesnt do anything now, btw use f7 to get back i think, then it won't do anything later
[08:51] <OpenTokix> sogen: you do know that ./ means "use binary  from this folder I am in"
[08:51] <jscinoz> Hey everyone, I'm using a Dell Multimedia Keyboard (SK-8135), I've gotten the keys to all work correctly in the keyboard shortcuts dialog. However, by default they control RhythmBox, i wish to change them so they control Songbird. How would i do this?
[08:51] <vaibuntujohn> neozen: alrighty, google? brb
[08:51] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: so running it on an enterprise server is iffy buuuut
[08:51] <sogen> OpenTokix: ahh..
[08:51] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: nahh
[08:51] <OpenTokix> sogen: =)
[08:51] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: you're heeere
[08:51] <sogen> OpenTokix: then with it will be for me ?
[08:51] <user____> so when i get in text mode press f7?
[08:51] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: we won't make you go to google
[08:52] <neozen> !universe
[08:52] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[08:52] <sogen> OpenTokix: /home/sogen/ ... ?
[08:52] <OpenTokix> sogen: so if you palce the poweriso binary in /usr/local/bin you can then just write poweriso option option /files/files
[08:52] <Arrick> ok, now that root is enabled, how do I fix the clock on ubuntu 6.06.1 server (terminal only) install, so that kerberos will work?
[08:52] <scottam> user____: what i'm saying is that if you can't get into text mode now, it won't help you later.....but to get out of text mode, press ctrl-alt-f7
[08:52] <scottam> user____: it just occured to me that it's a bad idea to tell someone how to get into text mode, and not how to get out
[08:53] <scottam> =)
[08:53] <OpenTokix> sogen: maybe something like: /home/sogan/downloads/poweriso-1.0/poweriso /home/sogen/downloads/myporn/porn.daa
[08:53] <user____> it works ctrl+atl+f1 and +f7 to get me back
[08:53] <OpenTokix> sogen: or something like that
[08:53] <OpenTokix> scottam: hihi =)
[08:53] <user____> so if it freezes again .. i will try that to see what it solves
[08:53] <nrdb> does anyone know what version of ltsp is installed via 'ltsp-server' on ubuntu 6.06 and 6.10 ?
[08:53] <Arrick> !ntp
[08:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ntp - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:53] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: not when most of the guides you need for ubuntu can usually be found from one of three places: 1) linked from the front page of www.ubuntu.com and 2) scoping out the ubuntuforums (www.ubuntuforums.org) or 3) asking ubotu, our faithful bot
[08:54] <scottam> user____: so if you can get into text mode after something fullscreen under X11 locks up, go into text mode if you can, and kill the specific process, and if that doesnt work, use ctrl-alt-backspace
[08:54] <Arrick> what is the time client thing for ubuntu?
[08:54] <OpenTokix> nrdb: write: apt-cache show ltsp-server
[08:54] <user____> so .. how do i kill a specific process?
[08:54] <OpenTokix> user____: kill pid or kill -9 pid (-9 is a more brutal way)
[08:55] <tgelter> I don't know much about the "find" command under bash, but I need to search for a line of text and I don't know where the file is or what it's called. How can I search for a specific string contained in some file (searching recursively) ?
[08:55] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: here's the official ubuntu guide.... it'll answer a TON of questions
[08:55] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/index.html
[08:55] <user____> and how do i know the pid of a process?
[08:55] <OpenTokix> user____: ps ax |grep -i name
[08:55] <vaibuntujohn> neozen: awesome... wow, didnt even know ubotu was bot... yeah i just got ubuntu installed today
[08:55] <icyhot> anyone know how to enable openGL for fglrx?
[08:55] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: yeah.. read that guide... it will help sooooo much
[08:56] <sogen> OpenTokix: i do like you sied and i have  "Bad parameter: list"
[08:56] <OpenTokix> sogen: ok
[08:56] <user____> icyhot  there is a nice topic on that on ubuntu forums
[08:56] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: you've probably got a local copy (one stored on your computer itself)
[08:56] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: try pressing alt-f1 .. something might come up
[08:56] <sogen> OpenTokix: ok what ? it is good or not ?:P
[08:56] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: unfortunately... it is time I leave
[08:57] <OpenTokix> sogen: can you paste me the exact line you wrote?
[08:57] <vaibuntujohn> neozen: cool. yeah i'm loving lynux already! alt f1 open the apps menu btw
[08:57] <icyhot> user____: ok i'll search there, thx
[08:57] <vaibuntujohn> neozen: adios
[08:57] <OpenTokix> sogen: bad parameter don't seem good =)
[08:57] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: I must sleep soon.... or I'll be useless tomorrow.. er... today
[08:57] <vaibuntujohn> thanks for all the help
[08:57] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: keep in touch mon... let me know how it goes
[08:57] <vaibuntujohn> will do
[08:57] <neozen> vaibuntujohn: I'm in here from time to time
[08:57] <vaibuntujohn> peace
[08:57] <vaibuntujohn> then im sure ill see ya around
[08:58] <neozen> yep
[08:58] <Gambaroni> Is the server for releases.ubuntu.com down?

[09:04] <jscinoz> Hey everyone, I'm using a Dell Multimedia Keyboard (SK-8135), I've gotten the keys to all work correctly in the keyboard shortcuts dialog. However, by default they control RhythmBox, i wish to change them so they control Songbird. How would i do this?

[09:12] <Ayabara> Anyone using xterm? I'm missing the vertical slidebar.
[09:12] <robokop> djensen47: no i was thinking how i should formulate the next sentence
[09:12] <scottam> djensen47: you could download a tarball?
[09:12] <OpenTokix> Ayabara: pg up and pg down
[09:12] <robokop> djensen47: or compile from source
[09:12] <YNWA> what do you do when a restricted drive notice comes up? It's happening to my Wireless Card
[09:12] <djensen47> I'm trying to avoid compilation
[09:12] <Ayabara> OpenTokix, I know, but shouldn't there also be a slidebar there?
[09:13] <robokop> djensen47: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python
[09:13] <pc03> Hi, guys!
[09:13] <wapityyy> i <3 compiling my kernel
[09:13] <scottam> djensen47: we all try to avoid compilation....but sometimes...
[09:13] <djensen47> is there no way to specify a repo for just one package?
[09:13] <robokop> scottam: i don't avoid it
[09:13] <YNWA> any1?
[09:13] <pc03> i am a new user for Ubuntu
[09:13] <pc03> do you speak spanish?????
[09:13] <wapityyy> anyone know the proper way of using this in terminal ? php -r "require('test.php'); $a=1; $b=2;" ??
[09:13] <scottam> robokop: ok fine, you're special ;-)
[09:13] <OpenTokix> Ayabara: I don't remember - but I doubt xterm has such fancy features
[09:13] <robokop> !es > pc03
[09:14] <OpenTokix> compliling kernels feels so 90s
[09:14] <wapityyy> its ownage
[09:14] <robokop> scottam: i don't want my window manager to have the default settings
[09:15] <user____> anyone can tell me where from is this ip? (82.82.171.230)
[09:15] <Ayabara> OpenTokix, ok. a fedorauser at work has a scrollbar in his xterm, so I just thought I'd check :-)
[09:15] <wapityyy> user____: www.whois.com
[09:15] <Gumby> user____: thats my IP.  why?
[09:15] <Gambaroni> Can I run ubuntu from a USB stick?
[09:15] <OpenTokix> Ayabara: are you sure its xterm and not like gnometerm, kterm or someother of the all millions of terminal applications out there+
[09:15] <Gumby> user____: hehe, I am just kidding
[09:16] <wapityyy> Gumby: from RASnet ?
[09:16] <Ayabara> OpenTokix, yes :-)
[09:16] <YNWA> what do you do when a restricted drive notice comes up? It's happening to my Wireless Card
[09:16] <Ademan> how would i re-map caps-lock to shift?
[09:16] <OpenTokix> Ayabara: ok, sorry - dunno =)
[09:16] <wapityyy> YNWA: scream in fear
[09:16] <wapityyy> thats what i'd do anyways
[09:17] <Ayabara> OpenTokix, thanks anyway
[09:17] <OpenTokix> Ayabara: is it a game breaking feature for you? =)
[09:17] <YNWA> I have the flu
[09:17] <YNWA> I cant even talk in fear
[09:17] <wapityyy> hmm
[09:17] <YNWA> anyway, ....?
[09:17] <wapityyy> let me think then
[09:17] <OpenTokix> YNWA: good thing you have IRC to vent your fears on
[09:17] <YNWA> yes
[09:17] <robokop> user____: http://www.geobytes.com/IpLocator.htm?GetLocation
[09:17] <scottam> ademan: xmodmap
[09:17] <YNWA> otherwise I might implode
[09:17] <wapityyy> did you try busting some napoleon dynamite dance moves?
[09:17] <Ayabara> OpenTokix, hehe. not at all.
[09:17] <user____> thx
[09:18] <YNWA> ... :O
[09:18] <wapityyy> YNWA: did ya try ?
[09:18] <Ademan> thanks scottam, any GUI frontends?
[09:18] <YNWA> no
[09:18] <Ayabara> OpenTokix, but pgup/pgdn actually don't work either. mouse scrolling does though
[09:18] <wapityyy> do it... works fine
[09:18] <scottam> ademan: i've never used it, so i can't help mucdoh, but i know people who
[09:18] <YNWA> :-[
[09:18] <Ayabara> not even sure I like xterm...
[09:18] <Ademan> scottam: well thanks either way, it's either a good starting point or a minor inconvenience
[09:18] <djensen47> ok, is there a way I can get a .deb file for a package from one version, Edgy, and install it on an older one, Dapper?
[09:18] <YNWA> busting some napoleon dynamite dance moves???? ... :-/
[09:18] <wapityyy> anyone know the proper way of using this in terminal ? php -r "require('test.php'); $a=1; $b=2;" ??
[09:19] <OpenTokix> Ayabara: maybe some modifyerbuttton is needed shift, ctrl or alt (never remeber wich)
[09:19] <YNWA> so, anyway, after the screamin' and dancin', is there a way of using the wireless card?
[09:19] <Ayabara> OpenTokix, shift :-)
[09:19] <Crazytom> YNWA, what chipset
[09:19] <Ademan> wapityyy: are you wondering how you're supposed to execute a small script supplied on the command line? because i think "man php" should get you most of the info you need
[09:19] <OpenTokix> Ayabara: wii! =)
[09:19] <robokop> Ademan: xkeycaps should be gui xmodmap
[09:20] <YNWA> crazytom: uh - I don't know what that is
[09:20] <Ademan> thanks robokop
[09:20] <wapityyy> Ademan: im trying to call a php script and modifying 2 vars in it
[09:20] <Crazytom> YNWA, lspci -v and look for a wireless card
[09:20] <YNWA> okay
[09:21] <Ademan> wapityyy: right, but what exactly is the problem? does the code not work? or does the command complain about bad parameters?
[09:21] <YNWA> Crazytom: this is what I got
[09:21] <YNWA> lspci -v
[09:21] <giuseppe> hi guys, only one question, I want to change the start button on gnome, I go to apps -> panel -> object but there isn't a voice with objective = menu :( help?? thanks

[09:22] <smo> hi
[09:22] <stevethepirate> *sigh* feisty seems to have screwed up my /etc/fstav
[09:22] <stevethepirate> *fstab
[09:22] <michup> ive problem with game scorched3d
[09:22] <michup> i use deb package to install it
[09:22] <robokop> stevethepirate: #ubuntu+1
[09:22] <giuseppe> hi guys, only one question, I want to change the start button on gnome, I go to apps -> panel -> object from gconf-editor but there isn't a voice with objective = menu :( help?? thanks
[09:22] <YNWA> crazytom: anyway, uh what am I looking for?
[09:22] <wapityyy> stevethepirate: Ubuntu comes with absolutly NO WARRANTY
[09:22] <michup> and i get scorched3d: error while loading shared libraries: libwx_gtk-2.4.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[09:22] <michup> when i try to run it
[09:22] <GekiBlue> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15183/ <- I just got this when trying to run pitivi... Does anyone know if I can do anything about it?
[09:22] <Ademan> wapityyy: have you tried it WITHOUT quotes? (just for the sake of trying it)
[09:23] <michup> so i lunch synaptic and try to find that package
[09:23] <wapityyy> Ademan: tryign now
[09:23] <michup> so i find it and install
[09:23] <scottam> stevethepirate: B.E.T.A = backup everything then apply
[09:23] <michup> then reinstall package with game
[09:23] <wapityyy> Ademan:  bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
[09:23] <giuseppe> hi guys, only one question, I want to change the start button on gnome, I go to apps -> panel -> object but there isn't a voice with objective = menu :( help?? thanks
[09:23] <michup> and try to run it and the same error displays
[09:23] <YNWA> what's the chipset thing?
[09:23] <Crazytom> YNWA, what does it say when it tells you about the restricted packages?
[09:23] <wapityyy> apt-get install internet :|
[09:24] <giuseppe> lol
[09:24] <Ademan> wapityyy: well the man page seems to suggest you should have a -- after your command, followed by the rest of the args
[09:24] <Crazytom> YNWA, that's just the type of card
[09:24] <YNWA> it says Ubuntu is using driver software that may not be supported
[09:24] <Ademan> wapityyy: so maybe php -r "your code" --
[09:24] <jochus> my .bashrc doesn't get loaded as "source" when I login at my gnome-terminal ... what can the problem be?
[09:24] <Arrick> hey guys
[09:24] <scottam> jochus: does .bash_profile?
[09:25] <wapityyy> Ademan: tring
[09:25] <wapityyy> trying*
[09:25] <Crazytom> YNWA, did you tell it that was fine and to go ahead?
[09:25] <Arrick> whats the default read/write number for ubuntu?
[09:25] <giuseppe> someone can help me please? :(
[09:25] <wapityyy> Ademan: nope still the = error
[09:25] <smo> i try to change my gdm default session by command line and generating a .desktop... in /usr/share/xsessions/xgl.desktop for my exemple it run fine then restart gdm as i want ... now i add my login then he ask me to login the new xgl session then do not execute Xgl, if i make a simple ctrl+alt+backspace then choose Xgl session normally in the session menu in gnome it works!!! any idear idear??? why not directly
[09:25] <YNWA> it was just a notice, didn't ask me what to do
[09:25] <Ademan> wapityyy: http://www.hmug.org/man/1/php.php   seems to suggest the use of single quotes around your code snippet
[09:25] <jochus> scottam: hmm, there's no .bash_profile? :$ ...
[09:25] <giuseppe> wapityyy, can u help me?
[09:25] <wapityyy> giuseppe: im afraid not
[09:26] <scottam> jochus: echo "echo .bash_profile executes" >> .bash_profile
[09:26] <scottam> jochus: and open a new terminal
[09:26] <Ademan> wapityyy: and i think you'd need to then change your require to either be double quotes, or escaped single quotes \' or \"
[09:26] <smo> change gdm session is just .dmrc no??
[09:26] <giuseppe> wapityyy, ok thanks ;)
[09:26] <smo> any other file?
[09:26] <wapityyy> Ademan: well i dont think thats the problem
[09:26] <wapityyy> Ademan: i can call functions perfectly with that
[09:26] <jmworx> Any idea why the AU mirror is so damn slow/unreliable for me?
[09:26] <jochus> scottam: jochus@Jochus ~ $ su - buildtool \n Password: \n .bash_profile executes \n
[09:26] <wapityyy> but cannot modify vars
[09:26] <YNWA> crazytom: it just says the driver is restricted, and it cannot be changed easily to fix any future problems
[09:27] <jochus> scottam: so yes, it executes :-)
[09:27] <LoneShadow> anyone know how to fix a problem related to windows getting stuck at upper left corner ?
[09:27] <YNWA> :(
[09:27] <Crazytom> YNWA, did you tell it ok?
[09:27] <Ademan> wapityyy: well i mean if you have       "require("foo.php")"    bash is gonna get all confused, and split up "require("   foo.php and ")"
[09:27] <michup> how can i delete previous installed deb package?
[09:27] <YNWA> there was a close button, and I clicked on that, yes
[09:28] <wapityyy> got disconnected
[09:28] <LoneShadow> sigh.. I shouldnt upgraded to edgy, anyway I can role back to dapper ? :(
[09:28] <giuseppe> some one can help me one moment please? it's a stupid problem :P
[09:28] <scottam> jochus: so worst case, you can move your stuff there of add a line telling it to read .bashrc
[09:28] <Ademan> michup: apt-get remove NameOfDeb     OR just find it in synaptic (system->administration->synaptic package manager) and click on it and hit remove :-)
[09:28] <Ademan> wapityyy: well either way i think it's worth it to try single quotes
[09:28] <wapityyy> kk
[09:28] <jochus> scottam: yes, perfect! :-)
[09:28] <Crazytom> YNWA, so what is the wireless card doing
[09:29] <robokop> LoneShadow: not really lots won't get back because it is newer packages
[09:29] <YNWA> crazytom: well, right now, not much - no internet connection etc..
[09:29] <scottam> jochus: NO! it's a horrible workaround and i'm looking for a better solution
[09:29] <ostiffel> I'm having trouble with preseed files
[09:29] <jochus> yes, but I searched on google to find a better solution, and I don't know how to solve it
[09:29] <ostiffel> I can't make the install automatic
[09:29] <LoneShadow> robokop: hmm , so I guess either I have to fix my X in edgy or do a clean install ?
[09:29] <Crazytom> YNWA, do this sudo iwlist eth1 scan    assuming that your interface is eth1
[09:29] <jochus> scottam: I created the user with the "useradd" command ... so nothing really special ...
[09:29] <robokop> LoneShadow: basically yes
[09:30] <YNWA> crazytom: alrighty
[09:30] <robokop> LoneShadow: what is your problem with X
[09:30] <scottam> jochus: i mean there is nothing wrong with it, but there is a much more elegant solution, i think you want to put the reference in /etc/bash.bashrc so it works for all users or something
[09:30] <ostiffel> even when I try http://interthingy.com/digby/
[09:30] <YNWA> crazytom: what am I looking for?
[09:30] <ostiffel> it still asks me for the keyboard
[09:30] <michup> Ademan: but it was game not supported with ubuntu i just download package from their website
[09:30] <Crazytom> YNWA, please join #ubuntuwireless
[09:30] <ostiffel> anybody here manage to build a fully-automatic install using d-i preseeding?
[09:30] <LoneShadow> robokop: I used wiki guide to upgrade from dapper to edgy (basically using "update-manager -c")
[09:30] <YNWA> okay
[09:31] <Crazytom> YNWA, i'll be waiting
[09:31] <LoneShadow> now all my windows open up at the top left corner, I cant move the windows or minimize
[09:31] <jochus> scottam: you mean a reference to where?
[09:31] <Ademan> michup: well if it was a deb, and you installed it, it will end up visible in synaptic (and you shoudl still be able to remove it with apt)
[09:31] <LoneShadow> robokop: actually I dont even see the bar for those minimize/close buttons
[09:31] <ostiffel> I need an install using preseeding that doesn't ask any questions becuase I have a cluster to install
[09:31] <ostiffel> and I have to do a lot of machines very quickly
[09:31] <michup> Ademan:and i install it manually by gdebi 0.1.6
[09:31] <robokop> LoneShadow: seems metacity is bugging
[09:32] <crazy_penguin> Good morning to all!
[09:32] <michup> Ademan: the package name was scorched3d.deb
[09:32] <Ademan> michup: then it should show up in synaptic
[09:32] <robokop> LoneShadow: can you move the windows while pressing the <alt> button
[09:32] <michup> Ademan: when i type sudo apt-get remove scorched3d i says
[09:32] <ostiffel> but every time i try preseeding, it still asks me the normal questions (like choose the keyboard)
[09:32] <LoneShadow> hold on, let me check
[09:32] <scottam> jochus: what does /etc/profile look like?
[09:32] <ostiffel> Is anybody even listening
[09:33] <scottam> hi
[09:33] <giuseppe> hi guys, only one question, I want to change the start button on gnome, I go to apps -> panel -> object but there isn't a voice with objective = menu :( help?? thanks
[09:33] <michup> Ademan: Package scorched3d is not installed, so not removed
[09:33] <ostiffel> Does anybody here have any experience with this
[09:33] <scottam> but i have no idea how to solve your problem =(
[09:33] <jochus> scottam: check this pastebin: http://pastebin.ca/435935
[09:33] <ostiffel> has anybody used a preseed file
[09:34] <LoneShadow> robokop: nope cant move it, cant even resize the window
[09:34] <Zxynax> anybody else having dvd drive access issues?
[09:34] <Ademan> michup: instead open up synaptic and use the search function, search for scorched,  just because the file was scorched3d.deb doesn't mean thats the package name that apt knows it by (which is rather confusing)  but i'll bet the name has scorched in it somewhere
[09:34] <wapityyy> Ademan: would you konw how to run a php script in the terminal using get vars ?
[09:34] <ostiffel> P R E S E E D  ___  F I L E :    ANYBODY?
[09:35] <michup> Ademan: okay thats correct thx
[09:35] <Ademan> wapityyy: haha no sorry, but there is a ##php on this server that *might* know
[09:35] <Ademan> wapityyy: what are you trying to do anyways?
[09:35] <robokop> LoneShadow: run apt-get install metacity
[09:35] <Zxynax> what do you mean get vars?
[09:35] <robokop> LoneShadow: as root
[09:35] <michup> Ademan: and another question id install ufoai game from run file how can i remove all it contents too?
[09:36] <wapityyy> Ademan: i am trying to call the same script but with diffrent vars
[09:36] <Ademan> wapityyy: GET and POST are intended for websites really, if you're testing a website, there's certainly a better way
[09:36] <wapityyy> in a php script
[09:36] <ostiffel> ******************   P R E S E E D  ___  F I L E :    ANYBODY USE THIS SUCCESSFULLY ******* (YES< I KNOW I AM SHOUTING)
[09:36] <wapityyy> Ademan: ##php redirects to ##overflow
[09:36] <scottam> jochus: adding a line below line 9 reading ". ~/.bashrc" might work, otherwise, adding it to ~/.bash_profile should work....but i should tell you i'm in a bit over my head and making suggestions that i think will work without having tested anything
[09:36] <scottam> SHUTUP

[09:38] <michup> how can i delete all contents of run file i had installed?
[09:38] <gesus> i've got a text file a and i want to make a directory from each line in the text file (i.e. it is a text file, with a list of students' names separated by line break) and i don't want to manually create 1200 directories. easy answer??
[09:38] <Chousuke> ostiffel: You make no sense.
[09:38] <Ademan> wapityyy: what are you trying to do anyways?
[09:38] <Zxynax> anybody here have any experience with drives not working

[09:39] <Ademan> michup: it's very hard to do, which is why debs are around

[09:39] <wapityyy> Ademan: clone bots using diffrent socks proxy settings
[09:39] <pc14> hello
[09:39] <Ademan> michup: there's a *good* chance that the run file installed to /usr/local/whatever, and there's generally very little there, so you could probably remove it by hand
[09:39] <Zxynax> so nobody can help me
[09:39] <pc14> My name is paco

[09:40] <allardh> Hello all, I'm having troubles with my multimedia keyboard. When toggling the sound volume up or down, the bass volume actualle gets toggled, not the main sound or pcm. I cannot seem to find where these volume calls are being made. Does anyone know where I can tune this behaviour or otherwise hack/patch it?
[09:41] <michup> it install files in my home directory but i wasnt shure is it all
[09:41] <Ademan> michup: ah, yeah then i'd check /usr/local and maybe even /opt
[09:41] <allardh> ah, running gnome, that is
[09:41] <gordonjcp> allardh: window manager keyboard shortcuts?
[09:41] <pc14> speak spanish???
[09:41] <robokop> !es > pc14
[09:41] <gordonjcp> is it possible to get "apt-get dist-upgrade" to run unattended?
[09:42] <robokop> pc14: check your pm's is one from ubotu
[09:42] <gordonjcp> as in, can I force it to actually believe that I mean "-y" when I use "-y"
[09:42] <michup> okay ill check there
[09:42] <allardh> gordonjcp: not exactly, you can only specify "volume up/down" as the results of shortcuts, but you cannot specify which control to toggle up.down. It seems like gnome is toggling the wrong volume control.
[09:42] <LoneShadow> robokop: getting help from #xubuntu, they asked me to run xfwm4 from a xterm, and that fixed it
[09:42] <Ademan> gordonjcp: have you checked the man page? i'm looking myself right now
[09:43] <michup> Ademan: if there is no deb package is it better to download this run installations or to download source then?
[09:43] <gordonjcp> allardh: ah, so no matter which key you map to "volume", the wrong thing happens
[09:43] <gesus> robokop, no good. with the '' included it just made a directory "cat test.txt" without the '' included it made the directory 'cat' and then said can't make directory text.txt, file already exists...
[09:43] <gordonjcp> Ademan: yes, of course
[09:43] <pc14> Do you speak in spanish??
[09:43] <allardh> gordonjcp: yes, the bass gets toggled

[09:44] <pc14> por favor ayudadmeeee
[09:44] <Hobbsee> pc14: no one in here does. they do in #ubuntu-es
[09:44] <gordonjcp> giuseppe_: no-one, until you ask your question
[09:44] <pc14> Como me meto en ese chat?
[09:44] <giuseppe_> gordonjcp, I writed my question 1 minutes ago ;)
[09:44] <giuseppe_> by the way
[09:45] <Ademan> michup: eh, both are undesirable, but i guess with the (evil) checkinstall, you can turn a source into a deb, though it's a rather painful proccess, and even more painful to do the RIGHT way (with PBuilder, but if you're interested in helping the community you might check out the #ubuntu-motu channel)
[09:45] <Hobbsee> mneptok: shoulda banforwarded that
[09:45] <allardh> gordonjcp: sure, I can toggle all the controls. The keyboard does trigger volume up/down, but some piece of software toggles the wrong control (bass in stead of main volume)
[09:45] <mneptok> Hobbsee: he started swearing
[09:45] <Hobbsee> mneptok: ahh
[09:45] <michup> Ademan: i mean when i have source package it is easier to search where files where unpacked correct?
[09:45] <gordonjcp> giuseppe_: no, you didn't
[09:45] <pwuertz_> #ubuntu-motu
[09:45] <giuseppe_> I want to change icon of start button, I run gconf-editor and browse in apps>panel>objectives but there aren't objective with value of menu...:( help?
[09:46] <robert_> heh
[09:46] <robert_> what's a good cd recording program?
[09:46] <giuseppe_> gordonjcp, I writed my question 3 or 4 time and then I disconnected for connection interrupted :)
[09:46] <Ademan> michup: oh i see what you mean, eh, i dunno, debs are around for a reason :-) everything else is really pretty, well, crappy
[09:46] <gesus> robert_, scottam : you mean the key above tab?
[09:46] <gordonjcp> ah
[09:46] <scottam> gesus: yes
[09:46] <michup> Ademan: or simply tarball file?
[09:46] <robert_> one which DOESN'T need SCSI emulation
[09:47] <Ademan> robert_: like burning a cd?
[09:47] <michup> because many times there is no deb package for program or file im interested
[09:47] <Ademan> robert_: or like ripping a cd?
[09:47] <robert_> burning
[09:47] <gordonjcp> giuseppe_: ah, I didn't see you in the logs ;-)
[09:47] <scottam> gesus: it tells the shell that it should execute the contents like a command
[09:47] <robert_> I need to burn Dapper's ISO image to cd
[09:47] <Ademan> robert_: k3b is great, as is graveman, and i think the other one is gnomebaker
[09:47] <giuseppe_> gordonjcp, no problem ;) ...ps: can u help me? :P
[09:47] <Ademan> robert_: OH, you mean in windows?
[09:47] <gesus> scottam, robokop : ok so i did: mkdir `cat test.txt -- but it didn't create any dirs, instead in the prompt it just presents me with a new line: >
[09:47] <robert_> no
[09:48] <Ademan> robert_: oh yeah, then i'd go with k3b
[09:48] <robert_> Linux version 2.6.20-13-386 (root@palmer) (gcc version 4.1.2 (Ubuntu 4.1.2-0ubuntu4)) #2 Sun Mar 25 00:18:53 UTC 2007
[09:48] <scottam> gesus: you forgot the trailing `
[09:48] <robert_> heh
[09:48] <robokop> gesus: also close it with a `
[09:48] <gesus> ahh ok :)
[09:48] <allardh> gordonjcp: thanks, I'll try and ask in ubuntu-desktop
[09:48] <gesus> robokop, _, scottam : i love you thankyou so much you have saved me about a decade of time
[09:48] <Ademan> michup: well i guess installing from source is sort of better than nothing, but ideally there'd be a deb
[09:49] <Ademan> michup: also, i believe you can request that things be packaged (so that you can install them from the repositories)
[09:49] <michup> Ademan: do you have some knowledge about hardware i mean ive problem with my vga and sound too
[09:50] <Ademan> michup: i can sure try, but no guarantees hehe
[09:50] <Pathogen246> Sup guys, anyone help me with a virus problem?
[09:50] <giuseppe_> I want to change icon of start button, I run gconf-editor and browse in apps>panel>objectives but there aren't objective with value of menu...:( help?
[09:50] <Ademan> Pathogen246: haha a virus? how'd you manage that?
[09:51] <michup> Ademan: great, ill give you some hints first about my hardware
[09:51] <robokop> giuseppe_: sorry not using gnome here
[09:51] <Pathogen246> well, it's not on my linux partition
[09:51] <robert_> ugh
[09:51] <robert_> doesn't Ubuntu come with SCSI emulation support?
[09:51] <Ademan> michup: i'm at a total loss on sound, so i don't think you should bother with that, i've mucked around with enough video cards to maybe be useful though
[09:51] <giuseppe_> robokop, in ubuntu nobody with gnome? :)
[09:51] <michup> Ademan: okay
[09:51] <Pathogen246> it's on my windows partition, but it's blocking internet and stuff so i can't do anything in windows really, lol
[09:51] <tekkel> join #jronline
[09:52] <robokop> giuseppe_: i meant me isn't using it
[09:52] <giuseppe_> robokop, ah ok, thanks a lot for the attention ;)
[09:52] <Pathogen246> I can't update my antivirus, can't go back to an earlier system checkpoint, nada
[09:52] <robokop> giuseppe_: maybe in #gnome they can help you
[09:52] <Ademan> Pathogen246: you might consider burning some useful virus tools to cd from your linux partition then run it in your windows partition
[09:52] <giuseppe_> robokop, thanks ;)
[09:53] <scottam> pathogen246: can you install and run a less well known anti-virus? often they target the big ones only
[09:53] <Pathogen246> Ademan: any suggestions?
[09:53] <michup> Ademan: this is my lspci output http://rafb.net/p/xkU2J412.html
[09:53] <scottam> pathogen246: there are some free ones out there like clamAV or something
[09:53] <Pathogen246> Scottam: it's blocking any outgoing internet
[09:53] <scottam> pathogen246: clamAV should work from linux or windows
[09:53] <Pathogen246> I had AVG and it doesn't help
[09:54] <robert_> uh
[09:54] <Pathogen246> scottam: anyway i can run a virus scan from linux to windows partition?
[09:54] <robert_> that's my fault
[09:54] <robokop> Pathogen246: download them under linux and put them on a partition both can reach and install and use it under windows
[09:54] <robert_> I forgot to put in my DVD-RW
[09:54] <robert_> <-- asshat
[09:55] <scottam> pathogen246: if it's fat32, and maybe if it's ntfs and you have all the experimental write stuff installed
[09:56] <Ademan> michup: ah, a laptop, let the games begin haha
[09:56] <scottam> pathogen246: you might also be able to download the antivirus definitions and then using a CD or flash drive get them to update in windows?
[09:56] <michup> Ademan: and this is my glxinfo output http://rafb.net/p/QoIil224.html
[09:56] <michup> Ademan; yes
[09:56] <michup> Ademan: my problem is that even poetchess (3d) has pure performance
[09:57] <Ademan> michup: wait, pure performance?
[09:57] <michup> glxgears -printfps
[09:57] <michup> libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x5b
[09:57] <michup> 3508 frames in 5.0 seconds = 701.526 FPS
[09:57] <michup> 3857 frames in 5.0 seconds = 771.360 FPS
[09:57] <michup> Ademan: yes i mean fps about 15
[09:58] <michup> but beryl works fine
[09:58] <robokop> Ademan: poor instead of pure i guess
[09:58] <michup> Ademan: but i switch it off when play
[09:58] <Ademan> ouch, have you tried playing with composite disabled?
[09:58] <robert_> brb
[09:58] <Ademan> i mean just flat out turn it off in your xorg.conf?
[09:59] <gzyang> no
[09:59] <michup> Ademan: yes, i switched it of from my session eaven
[09:59] <michup> even*
[09:59] <michup> Ademan: so it not lunch at start
[09:59] <Ademan> michup: hrm that's very strange, have you tried playing other games as well and had similarly crappy performance?
[09:59] <michup> Ademan: my first show was with cedega, do i thought the cedega opengl implementation is not enough for my card
[10:00] <michup> Ademan: so i try native games
[10:00] <michup> Ademan: like neverwinter nights 1
[10:01] <robert_> wow
[10:01] <wolke> when i try to install virtualbox, there are quite a few unsolved dependencies
[10:01] <robert_> I'll be back
[10:01] <michup> and it works better then cedega but i think it was not enough for my card
[10:01] <wolke> which repo can i use to solve them?
[10:01] <michup> in large spaces it was very pure performance unplayable
[10:01] <michup> and second problem is sound
[10:01] <michup> its something like echo
[10:02] <michup> but with pauses
[10:02] <Ademan> michup: wow, you seem to have covered the bases pretty well, although i can't really imagine what the problem is...
[10:02] <gesus> robokop, scottam :: you know that txt file i was creating dirs from ... well they are student#[space] lastname[space] firstname ... that command mkdir `cat file.txt` doesn't seem to want to create dirs with spaces.. can i change that?
[10:02] <michup> i mean there is sound for a sec then next sec there isnt and next it is and so on
[10:02] <Ademan> michup: well, unfortunately i don't know squat about sound
[10:02] <michup> Ademan: next i tried tux racer or chess like i sed
[10:03] <scottam> gesus: yes, first do a find and replace on the file to chance every instance of " " to "\ "
[10:03] <gesus> ok
[10:03] <michup> and it works ... pure
[10:03] <michup> glxinfo says direct yes
[10:03] <michup> i tried hdparm -tT to check cashe
[10:03] <Ademan> michup: what COULD be happening is that your video card is being forced into 16 bit mode, or some other totally wierd mode, and for most (modern) cards, 16 bit modes aren't 3d accelerated
[10:03] <BUMBACL0T> ok, i fixed AddHandler thing, now my problem is, everytime i visit something locally that ends with .php, its says Permission Denied
[10:04] <BUMBACL0T> but everything is setup right though, permission and all that
[10:04] <scottam> gesus: or put quotes around the entire line, but that's harder
[10:04] <vaibuntujohn> I have a ati radeon x1600 Pro 512mb and i want to get the correct drivers and support and hopefully 3d excel... any help greatly appreciated
[10:04] <michup> about year ago id playd on this laptop guild wars pretty nice with normal graphic options
[10:04] <gesus> scottam, that "\ " is meant to have a space after the \ , yes?
[10:04] <jack_deltrino> Hmm, I haven't kept up with the times. Do you need Java 1.4 with Java 1.6 now? Back with 1.5, 1.4 was still completely necessary, but does 1.6 have any special compatibility modes?
[10:04] <scottam> yes
[10:04] <Ademan> michup: i'm not entirely sure why it would be forced into 16 bit mode (maybe something having to do with the stuff about video mode 0x5b)
[10:04] <gesus> ok thanks
[10:04] <Ademan> michup: heck, i could be totally wrong...
[10:05] <michup> someone told me but im not sure of it that is something to do with memory
[10:05] <michup> this chipset ive heard use RAM memory if needed
[10:05] <Ademan> yep, it should do that
[10:06] <michup> and with older version of kernel there was greater problems with it
[10:06] <Ademan> maybe the card doesn't have DMA? (direct memory access)
[10:06] <michup> some stack overflows etc
[10:06] <gesus> scottam, i did replace all on " " and replaced with "\ " but when i ran that command it still created a directory for each word in the line..
[10:06] <Andruk> what is going on with the ubuntu studio project?
[10:08] <michup> my programmer teacher shot that could be if for example one program a game take some memory for GPU and then some other process like xorg try to take the same part of memory but it was only a guess
[10:09] <michup> how to figure out is it has dma or is it works properly and how to find out is it forced to run in 16 bit mode?
[10:09] <fenrig> hi
[10:09] <fenrig> i have major problems
[10:10] <vaibuntujohn> can anyone help me with some tips on getting my ati radeon x1600 pro supported ? please :-D
[10:10] <fenrig> when fsck checks my hard disk it gives a major problem at a round 60 %
[10:11] <fenrig> then it ask to go on hold or something
[10:11] <fenrig> and it ask for my root pasword or type control-d to continue
[10:11] <gesus> scottam, i did replace all on " " and replaced with "\ " but when i ran that command it still created a directory for each word in the line..
[10:12] <scottam> gesus: i know.....i'm trying to make it work here
[10:12] <gesus> ah ok sorry mate
[10:12] <fenrig> and when i type control d the pc just restarted and ubuntu gave the same process
[10:12] <fenrig> now i give my root pasword
[10:13] <pavs> my laptop edgy game me an option to update to fiesty through update manager how come my desktop doesnt do the same?
[10:13] <fenrig> and then it gives all kind of problems appareantly there no programs installed in root mode
[10:13] <fenrig> pavs did u restarted??
[10:13] <gesus> every line ends with ) if that helps. so if you had a command that could insert a " at the beginning of each line, i could do a replace-all on the character )
[10:13] <pavs> fenrig yes
[10:13] <fenrig> pavs: cant help u
[10:14] <fenrig> so i type su matthias (matthias my user name)
[10:14] <fenrig> and i give my login pasword
[10:14] <fenrig> i now type in X
[10:14] <fenrig> and x cant start
[10:14] <gesus> shit i gtg bbs i will read this when i get back thanks again
[10:14] <fenrig> i wanted to go in gaim terminal
[10:15] <MarkFeathers> I'm trying to get a torrent downloaded of rainbow tables in azureus, but azureus wont let me continue downloading because it can't check the file.  What are some other good bittorrent programs for linux?
[10:15] <fenrig> and no it doesnt do it
[10:15] <scottam> gesus: ok, i think i got it
[10:15] <fenrig> MarkFeathers: azureus or ktorrent
[10:15] <fenrig> so can anybody help
[10:15] <fenrig> can i execute something
[10:16] <fenrig> or so from the live cd to fix the problem that way?????
[10:16] <gordonjcp> MarkFeathers: afaik ubuntu comes with a simple bt client
[10:17] <fenrig> please somebody help
[10:17] <scottam> gesus: add #!/bin/bash to the top, then add the \s before every space, then add "mkdir " to the beginning of every line, make the file executable, and run it
[10:17] <MarkFeathers> gordonjcp: Yea, but it's kinda lacking in features
[10:17] <scottam> gesus: i'd back up the file first
[10:18] <scottam> gesus: or, IIRC, "perl -p -i.bak -e 's/$/mkdir /g' file.txt" will add the stuff to the beginning
[10:19] <Lucifel> MarkFeathers: uTorrent works in wine as well
[10:19] <scottam> gesus: no, that regex doesn't work.....$ is end of line....
[10:20] <MarkFeathers> Lucifel: I know i'm being picky, but i'd also like to keep wine out of my workflow... though i do like utorrent (they need to port that...)
[10:20] <ropiku> Hello, I need some help recovering my feisty. I want to grub-install but after I chroot there's no /dev/sda
[10:20] <fenrig> please help me
[10:20] <Lucifel> *shrug* to each their own
[10:21] <Lucifel> You can just make it a shortcut on the desktop if that helps any
[10:21] <Tomcat_> Dependence on Windows software is never a good thing. ;)
[10:22] <scottam> gesus: in vim: %s/^/mkdir /
[10:22] <Lucifel> Yeah it's not open either, but people seem to like uTorrent
[10:22] <MarkFeathers> Lucifel: yea i know.  if it was open it would have been ported already
[10:22] <pavs> i am depended on vi now i forgot how to use notepad!!
[10:23] <MarkFeathers> Lucifel: If you look on their site they actually say it is made for Wine, Windows 95, NT/2000, XP and above.  I'm suprised they list wine
[10:23] <ropiku> Any ideas on how to grub-install ? After chroot /dev/sda doesn't exist
[10:23] <MarkFeathers> ropiku: you do not need to chroot to run grub-install
[10:24] <ropiku> MarkFeathers: really ? somewhere I read that you have to chroot
[10:24] <MarkFeathers> ropiku: nope
[10:24] <Lucifel> Well that would explain how well it integrates despite being a Doze app
[10:24] <ropiku> MarkFeathers: Ok, i'll try
[10:24] <scottam> gesus: how's it coming?
[10:25] <ropiku> MarkFeathers: "Could not find device for /boot"
[10:25] <MarkFeathers> ropiku: alright, can't hurt to do it in a chroot
[10:25] <MarkFeathers> ropiku: If you need /dev/ in a chroot, you need to bind it "sudo mount -o bind /dev/ /pathtochroot/dev", and "sudo mount -o bind /proc/ /pathtochroot/proc/"
[10:26] <MarkFeathers> ropiku: Also make sure to mount your boot partition to /pathtochroot/boot
[10:26] <MarkFeathers> ropiku: If you aren't sure which partition is which, pull up gparted and look there
[10:28] <CAP2321> porque tanta gente en este chat
[10:29] <ytoox> hi, where can I get single screenlets, besides the ones that screenlets comes with?
[10:30] <AnAnt_> what players can play amr files ?
[10:30] <fulat2k> hi folks, are there any gtk/kde based pppoe configuration util?
[10:31] <MarkFeathers> AnAnt_: Check with vlc, i've never had problems with getting that to play anything
[10:31] <osfameron> is openoffice known to crash stupidly if run while music is being played (in xine or quodlibet at least) ?
[10:31] <osfameron> that's my current hypothesis for it crapping out really regularly
[10:31] <osfameron> how would I check that?
[10:31] <MarkFeathers> osfameron: openoffice is known to be bloated.  It crashes.
[10:31] <MarkFeathers> fulat2k: gnome-ppp?
[10:32] <sphynx> hi guys! I have a huge amount of such messages in kern.log: "VFS: busy inodes on changed media". Could you please help me? Thanks
[10:32] <fulat2k> MarkFeathers: but it shouldn't be crashing if i'm doing something totally unrelated to it :P
[10:32] <ytoox> hi, where can I get single screenlets, besides the ones that screenlets comes with?
[10:32] <fulat2k> MarkFeathers: lemme check that out. thx
[10:32] <osfameron> MarkFeathers: yeah, don't I know it.  But for example, until recently it crashed every minute for no reason, and I was seriously learning latex-beamer instead to do a presentation.  Yesterday, with no music player open, I did 2 hours' work on it.
[10:32] <osfameron> that makes the difference between being a broken POS and a bloated, annoying, but roughly functional piece of software
[10:33] <MarkFeathers> osfameron: My advice: use abiword for word processing and impress for presentations (save often)
[10:33] <fulat2k> MarkFeathers: i do have kppp installed.  any idea if it supports pppoe devices?
[10:33] <djensen47> if I have a VPS running ubuntu 6.06; are there any issues doing an apt-get dist-upgrade to feisty?
[10:33] <MarkFeathers> fulat2k: it should
[10:33] <MarkFeathers> djensen47: I wouldn't recommend it, but it is possible
[10:33] <osfameron> MarkFeathers: yeah, save often is good, but with music playing, once a minute was kinda impossible (good thing the crash recovery tool works so well!)
[10:34] <djensen47> why not, out of curiousity?
[10:34] <sphynx> so does anybody knows answer to this question about VFS message in kern.log?
[10:34] <MarkFeathers> djensen47: Alot has changed, it will replace many config files, change the way networking works, change settings for older programs, and some programs dont upgrade that cleanly.  Also if you have installed much from source it is likely to break
[10:35] <djensen47> it would be a clean install
[10:35] <sphynx> I have googled but I've found only that's connected with mount/unmount issues
[10:35] <MarkFeathers> sphynx: I'm really not sure, i wouldn't worry about it if it isn't causing problems.
[10:35] <djensen47> fresh Ubuntu server Dapper to Feisty
[10:35] <sphynx> But I cat't read log..
[10:36] <sphynx> MarkFeathers, it is annoying and log reading is harrdened by this :(
[10:36] <MarkFeathers> djensen47: Should work then, but I know there was something upgraded that has to do with shutdown that will not work that cleanly.  You will actually have to do a hard shut down
[10:37] <djensen47> what about edgy?
[10:37] <djensen47> might that work better?
[10:37] <MarkFeathers> djensen47: that power issue was in between dapper and edgy, i'm assuming it will do the same for feisty
[10:39] <MarkFeathers> sphynx: fair enough.  see if you can get those messages when you are not plugged into a network.  gnome vfs can mount things over the network.  I didn't think it dealt directly with inodes but it is something to try if you are trying to narrow down what mounted devices it could be.  Also check in dmesg for anything suspicous
[10:39] <sm> good evening all. why doesn't embed-ed sound work in firefox 2 on ubuntu edgy ? I have the totem-mozilla plugins
[10:40] <sphynx> MarkFeathers, ok, I'll try to do so, thanks!
[10:40] <MarkFeathers> sphynx: your welcome, good luck
[10:42] <EmxBA> hi, I have weird problem :)
[10:42] <SilentDis> EmxBA: I might have a weird solution! :D
[10:43] <SilentDis> EmxBA: if it involves gibbons in any way, i'm right out though.  *giggle*
[10:43] <EmxBA> check this http://pastebin.ubuntu-nl.org/15193/
[10:43] <EmxBA> I can't install any package suddenly...
[10:44] <OpenTokix> EmxBA: try apt-get clean
[10:44] <OpenTokix> EmxBA: to start you off
[10:44] <OpenTokix> then apt-get update
[10:44] <OpenTokix> EmxBA: maybe your partition is full? df -h
[10:45] <SilentDis> yes, it looks like either a full partition, a corrupt status file or the like
[10:45] <aldin> EmxBA, #ubuntu+1
[10:45] <EmxBA> it's not full :)
[10:46] <SilentDis> ahh, what with release being so close... what version of ubuntu are you running?
[10:46] <EmxBA> 7.04
[10:46] <EmxBA> up-to-date
[10:46] <SilentDis> might be best to bug 'em in +1, I have yet to update myself.  I always wait for release :)
[10:46] <OpenTokix> EmxBA: did yyou try apt-get clean?
[10:47] <EmxBA> yes, problem remains
[10:47] <EmxBA>  EOF during value of field `Package' (missing final newline)
[10:47] <aldin> EmxBA, if u are on ff, ask on u+1... worked for me hehe

[11:00] <nikin> http://www.codesourcery.com/archives/qmtest/msg01246.html
[11:00] <dromer> hi all, does anyone know of a commandline-tool foor exporting swf to gif?
[11:01] <mzuverink> How do I make webboard paste to the ubuntu pastebin?  Currently it says it cant past...
[11:02] <CoRnJuLiOx> does anyone here know of any good fraps clones for linux? something that'll let you record a video (w/audio) of you playing a game like Stepmania?
[11:05] <djensen47> now I need mysql.h ... is that in libmysqlclient-dev ??
[11:05] <nikin> just a sec
[11:06] <stork> 7 days to go :)
[11:06] <djensen47> and how can I find that out myself accurately and quickly?
[11:07] <djensen47> I can answer my first question ... yes
[11:08] <djensen47> the second question is still a mystery
[11:08] <djensen47> what are some good tools for searching for which apt-get package has which files?
[11:09] <nikin> djensen: look around apt-file
[11:11] <meal3837> has anyone in here installed ubuntu on an i965 chipset?
[11:11] <djensen47> k, thx
[11:11] <nikin> sudo apt-get install apt-file && sudo apt-file update && apt-file search /mysql.h
[11:12] <mzuverink> meal3837, if your talking graphic cards, then yeah, it uses the i810 driver
[11:13] <meal3837> mzuverink: intel packaged a cd with linux shell scripts to install drivers for the board . . . only, the shell script doesn't work
[11:13] <nikin> djensen47, any luck?
[11:13] <bobslaede> anybody familier with rdesktop, and how to "share" a printer to a windows terminal server?
[11:13] <djensen47> yes!
[11:13] <djensen47> thank you for the help
[11:13] <mzuverink> meal3837, you wont need them, it usws yhe i810 driver
[11:13] <nikin> djensen47, :)
[11:14] <djensen47> I am now the proud user of MySQLdb 1.2.1 p2 and thereby django 0.96 as well
[11:14] <meal3837> mzuverink: i guess the i810 works ok, but there are some artifacts with some of the vis effects and screensavers
[11:14] <meal3837> not a big deal, but . . .
[11:15] <mzuverink> meal3837, did you do a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to make sure its not usin vesa?
[11:15] <meal3837> mzuverink: yep, it was already using i810
[11:15] <ra21vi> hello there
[11:15] <meal3837> i'll reboot, just to make sure
[11:16] <mzuverink> meal3837, does your have dedicated ram or steal from system ram?
[11:16] <ra21vi> Byan: r u from Ubuntu official team
[11:17] <ra21vi> does feisty comes with beryl-compiz ?
[11:18] <nikin> ra21vi, can i ask something? Why is beryl-compiz good? and i read that it will be easyer to install in Feisty
[11:19] <LC> do Ubuntu have drivers for SiS 651 with 3D support?
[11:19] <justthisguy> join #topsecretcompo batcave
[11:19] <justthisguy> ach
[11:20] <nikin> LC: does SIS 651 have 3D ? AFAIK not
[11:20] <ra21vi> nikin: just some shadows let me feel there sun rise from east.. opacity gives me feel of Openness, and it eats my RAM and CPU cycles a lot, that i let it sometimes... got it.. thats just eyecandy and 3d effects, truly for Desktop..
[11:20] <LC> nikin: at Windows 3D works
[11:21] <Costel> can someone help me with this log ? imapd :Errot reading ACLs for INBOX.Sent :No such file or directory
[11:21] <nikin> ra21vi, if you like it use it...
[11:21] <ra21vi> nikin: may be 3d emulation.. google it, find if it really had 3d accelerations
[11:21] <ra21vi> nikin: i dont think so if it has...
[11:21] <ra21vi> nikin: i m using it, sometime
[11:23] <Veronica-Bot> rc.metachat.net
[11:24] <Costel> postconf -e "home_mailbox = Maildir/"
[11:24] <nikin> so the SIS driver in Linux does not support 3D and the sis 651 has no hardware render capabilitys.... just like my Intel 855 :D and my Girlfriends SIS 630
[11:24] <rj_> anyone got ipw2200 with injection working?
[11:26] <Beau> Hi.
[11:26] <nikin> hi
[11:27] <Beau> #ubuntu probably isn't the place for me... as I'm using Mepis
[11:29] <nikin> zhis is a channel about ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu  .. so i think you are
[11:29] <osfameron> but you could always ask rather than asking to ask
[11:29] <nikin> !ask
[11:29] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[11:33] <nikin> Anyone else using here ubuntu lite?
[11:34] <Appears> hi guys
[11:35] <nikin> hy
[11:35] <gordonjcp> anyone here skilled in the art of getting Ubuntu to talk to Mac networks?
[11:36] <osfameron> not me
[11:36] <ben^> hi, does anybody know, when the 7.04 release candidate images will be available today?
[11:36] <osfameron> I've never managed to get my lappy to talk to friend's or gf's mac laptops over wireless connection at all
[11:37] <osfameron> they can see each other, but not share files or do anything useful.  very annoying
[11:38] <nikin> osfameron: samba is not working?
[11:38] <Karol84PL> Hello, anyone could send me Tahoma font? k.a.r.o.l@gazeta.pl  - Thanks in advance
[11:40] <robert_> yay
[11:41] <robert_> I finally got my nick back
[11:41] <osfameron> nikin: could be samba.  I think I asked to "enable windows networking".  But actually, I don't get an IP address from other laptop (or vice versa if I'm the one creating the wireless network).  Not  sure if that's important too.
[11:41] <nikin> oh.. so you try to do an ad-hoc network..
[11:41] <nikin> http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,122932-page,1/article.html
[11:41] <nikin> maybe this can help
[11:42] <VSpike> Hey everyone.  I seem to have the situation where every program takes about 5 seconds to start.  A bit of searching indicated that this was a networking problem, and I've commented out the IPv6 lines from my /etc/hosts and also modified the lines for my local host entries... but the problem does not seem to be any better.
[11:42] <Crazytom> osfameron, normally when you connect to a wireless network a dhcp server gives you an address.  with an ad-hoc network you'll have to assign one
[11:42] <VSpike> Is there any way I can actually diagnose if the programs are having trouble connecting to the x server?
[11:42] <elifed> robert_, I'm glad I didn't try to login using my real name as a nick then :D
[11:42] <robert_> :P
[11:42] <osfameron> Crazytom: ah, has to be done manually?  I thought the mac at least would do that magically when connecting to me though...
[11:43] <Crazytom> osfameron, to both networks and on the same subnet
[11:43] <osfameron> Crazytom: ah.  definitely not automagic.  sounds like I actually have to understand something to get it to work. :-(
[11:43] <Crazytom> osfameron, the mac is just an id no magic involved
[11:44] <robert_> hm
[11:44] <robert_> bah
[11:44] <robert_> brb
[11:45] <osfameron> Crazytom: er, I meant Mac iBook laptop.  I thought they tried harder to pretend that things "just worked" on their side.
[11:46] <theTrav> ok, so the default install of ubuntu comes with rythmbox, but the music player can't play mp3's without codecs
[11:47] <theTrav> gstreamer is supposed to have the codecs, so I installed it through the package manager
[11:47] <theTrav> but still no mp3's
[11:47] <valehru> theTrav, install gstreamer codec packs.
[11:47] <valehru> and perhaps totem-xine
[11:47] <theTrav> yeah that's what I thought
[11:47] <theTrav> what's totem-xine do?
[11:48] <theTrav> what is it also?
[11:48] <valehru> its a media player
[11:48] <theTrav> but I already have a media player ...
[11:48] <theTrav> isn'
[11:48] <theTrav> t that what rythmbox is?
[11:49] <SpAc> Just installed the Feisty Beta
[11:49] <SpAc> It's running really well
[11:52] <elifed> SpAc, I'm trying out the Xubuntu version myself
[11:52] <Astinus> Helloh, with SSH it is possible to create a socks proxy, by creating a tunnel to a ssh server, but how can i create this socks proxy without having to use the ssh client, i.e. socks proxy on the server directly?
[11:53] <SpAc> elifed: I have 342MB worth of updates waiting on a fresh install
[11:53] <elifed> haha
[11:53] <elifed> that sounds about right
[11:54] <elifed> when I installed this about two days I had about 250 packages to grab
[11:54] <SpAc> elifed: I didn't have that much on a fresh edgy install, and this is supposedly new!
[11:54] <elifed> it's not the final version yet
[11:55] <elifed> the beta CD was done a couple of weeks ago IIRC
[11:55] <SpAc> elifed: ok... so I guess the final will be a little more up to date
[11:56] <elifed> part of that big pending download is new kernel images and OpenOffice
[11:56] <SpAc> elifed: still... it's a lot of stuff just for a few weeks of being released
[11:57] <elifed> SpAc, you'll probably see a lot more before Fiesty is final
[11:57] <robert_> bah
[11:57] <SpAc> elifed: it's getting pretty close to final though isn't it?
[11:57] <robert_> brb
[11:57] <elifed> I think it is due to be released about the end of this month
[11:57] <SpAc> my only comment about gnome is that everything is so big.
[11:57] <Visti> Well, release is stil 19th, right?
[11:57] <Visti> *still
[11:57] <SpAc> by big I mean graphically
[11:57] <elifed> 19th or 29, I forget
[11:58] <Openix> 19th
[11:58] <nikin> 19
[11:58] <Visti> Big is good!
[11:58] <elifed> SpAc, you actually have some control over that
[11:58] <gruber> siema
[11:58] <SpAc> Visti: I must say that I am a fan of thin and low profile
[11:58] <robert_> bbs
[11:58] <elifed> SpAc, in the font settings of all places
[11:58] <Visti> That's what I dig about Gnome.. I blow my icons up so they're huge and then remove the name, I think it looks superclean with highres icons.
[11:59] <SpAc> Visti: I don't mind large icons, it's the big fonts I don't like
[11:59] <SpAc> Visti: it's just a personal preference I know
[11:59] <SpAc> Forgive me, but I was once a windows user... I got so sick of it that I'm making the switch
[11:59] <elifed> SpAc, hmm, I don't have Gnome installed, by if you look at the preferences menu and select fonts
[11:59] <Visti> Yeah, big fonts can be a bit uncharming.
[11:59] <Karol84PL> How to install fonts in ubuntu to make to make them seen by all applications?
[12:00] <Visti> Bah, I'm on windows right now.
[12:00] <elifed> rather than just changing font sizes, you can chand the overall size of how fonts are rendered on the screen
[12:00] <SpAc> Visti: I'm not anti windows, just exploring what else is out there
[12:01] <nikin> elifed: how to do that.... i have to liitle 8px on a 12" TFT 1024x768
[12:01] <elifed> nikin, change the DPI settings in Gnome font configuration
[12:02] <nikin> i use ICEwm
[12:02] <Visti> SpAc > That's good! You might get hooked.. Like I did. When you get back to Win after having used Ubuntu with Beryl for a while, everything just seems so stiff.. I want more desktops!
[12:02] <SpAc> perhaps a nice trim theme is in order
[12:02] <elifed> xdpyinfo|grep resolution
[12:02] <elifed> making them match the output of that is a good starting point
[12:02] <Rich_li_ny> Power management????:   System does not shut down properly.  Monitor goes blank but in a very dark room I can very faintly see Xbuntu bar unloading in monitor.  Also when exiting to a command prompt I get this: " [17179569.184000]   ACPI: Unable to locate RSDP  "  System worked properly with xp and puppy.  Ho do I correct this?
[12:02] <SpAc> Visti: I used Beryl with Edgy for a while... then when I saw Vista it was nothing new!
[12:03] <zlate> Hey, i am running a ubuntu-server 6.10 (edguy) and im trying to install the package honeyd with apt-get but apt-get does not find that package?
[12:03] <nikin> 75x75 by Inch
[12:03] <elifed> okay, it's probably set for 96 by default
[12:03] <muczy> hello
[12:03] <SpAc> someone told me I would get sick of Beryl after a while, but I found it actually made me more productive
[12:03] <muczy> sensor-applet doesn't save it's settings, how can i fix this?
[12:04] <elifed> you can set it for 75 and try it
[12:04] <jrib> !info honeyd | zlate
[12:04] <ubotu> zlate: honeyd: Small daemon that creates virtual hosts simulating their services and behaviour. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8-4 (edgy), package size 164 kB, installed size 892 kB
[12:04] <Fir3> powitanko ;] 
[12:04] <jrib> !universe > zlate    (zlate, see the private message from ubotu)
[12:04] <Visti> Yeah, it was never really eyecandy for me except for the first few hours.. It's making me so much more efficient.
[12:04] <elifed> nikin, you can always bump it up incrementally until you find bliss :P
[12:04] <nikin> elifed: and how to set that?
[12:04] <ian_> hello ppl. how do i know what version kernel my system has?
[12:05] <SpAc> should I be trying a different window manager other than gnome (if that is the right terminology)?
[12:05] <jrib> ian_: uname -r
[12:05] <Visti> ian_ - It probably says so in GRUB too
[12:05] <jrib> SpAc: if you don't like GNOME or just want to try something new, sure
[12:06] <SpAc> jrib: was hoping for a recommendation
[12:06] <Visti> I think when you have the freedom to do so, you should try them all..
[12:06] <SpAc> ... just keen to explore
[12:06] <ian_> jrib : thanks!
[12:06] <SpAc> Visti: did you say you were using ICE or something?
[12:06] <jrib> SpAc: well I like GNOME :P  But give kde, xfce, fluxbox a try
[12:07] <elifed> nikin, give me a minute, I'm mostly an XFCE user :D
[12:07] <Visti> No, not me. I use gnome. I've been bumping around a bit and tried to convince myself that KDE is cooler, but I'm just more comfortable with Gnome.
[12:07] <elifed> nikin, do you know how to get to font settings?
[12:07] <nikin> elifed, i used to be to :D but now i use ubuntu-lite :D
[12:07] <elifed> from Gnome?
[12:08] <nikin> i have no gnome
[12:08] <nikin> but i have KDE Contoll Center installed
[12:08] <nikin> i found it
[12:08] <nikin> ty
[12:09] <elifed> ack
[12:09] <Visti> I wonder if I can run abandonware-type games in Wine easier than newer games.. Anyone knows?
[12:09] <elifed> I'm not sure if the KDE settings work as profoundly
[12:09] <reubs> is there any settings i have to change after i install sshd? e.g., firewall, ipchains. I get a good 1 minute delay before it allows me to login
[12:09] <nikin> elifed: i try.... just need to restart x
[12:09] <nikin> brb
[12:09] <elifed> it's actually one of the things that Gnome does way better than KDE
[12:09] <JosefK> reubs, I noticed that too, only on my Ubuntu box (not my Debian etch box).  I haven't figured out what's causing it yet
[12:10] <SpAc> my other drives you to be displayed as icons on the desktop
[12:10] <ian_> does anybody tried TV out in ATI video cards?
[12:10] <SpAc> they don't do that anymore...
[12:10] <orbin> Visti: well there's dosbox for those really old ones
[12:11] <nikin> elifed, you was right... atleast i dont see any effect
[12:11] <gesus> hey is there a command to add text to the beginning of each line of a text document??
[12:11] <jrib> gesus: you can use sed, do you know regexp?
[12:11] <Visti> orbin - Yeah, but I'm talking like that mid win95-blur.. I think. I got a nostalgia-rush and tracked down some old, but not dos-old games..
[12:11] <gesus> jrib, nup? is it pretty straight forward?
[12:11] <reubs> JosefK: yeah, i have other boxes with ssh set up on my network and they all work instantly. And if i look at the logs it behaves exactly the same as if i was ssh'ing from the ubuntu box, it just takes a minute longer
[12:12] <elifed> it has given me some drama in KDE before
[12:12] <JosefK> reubs, the obscure thing is that I get the same behaviour if I SSH from my Ubuntu box to my Debian box, it seems to affect even the client
[12:13] <orbin> Visti: not sure.  i haven't played around with wine too much.  don't they have a list a of game compatabilities?
[12:13] <elifed> nikin, Gnome does it very well, I was shocked the first time I used and it actually works
[12:13] <jrib> gesus: kind of, www.regular-expressions.info/, is a good intro I suppose.  To do what you want to do, would look like this:  sed 's/^/FOOBAR/'    .  If that does what you want, add the -i switch for it to actually change the file
[12:13] <elifed> on the fly no less
[12:13] <elifed> no restarting X
[12:13] <Visti> orbin - Yeah, it might - I'm just on XP now, so I couldn't remember.
[12:14] <elifed> s/works/worked/
[12:14] <nikin> elifed: then i will somehow install the gnome settings stuff
[12:14] <ROnewbie> Hi there; I'm trying to get sound on a Gateway 3040GZ laptop. Any help ?
[12:14] <elifed> crap, I have to get ready for work soon
[12:14] <orbin> Visti: http://appdb.winehq.org/
[12:14] <theTrav> jeesub this is getting painful >_<
[12:14] <theTrav> ubuntu doesn't want to recognise my mp3 codecs
[12:15] <elifed> nikin, it only seems to work in Gnome
[12:15] <theTrav> I've installed gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp4 from synaptic
[12:15] <theTrav> is there anything I have to do to get rhythmbox to pick it up?
[12:15] <reubs> JosefK: well at least one thing i learnt from it was the 'usedns no' :) so even tho it's agravating.....
[12:15] <nikin> elifed: then i will have little fonts.... thank anyway
[12:16] <elifed> nikin, there are ways you can sort of due something similar by conducting minor surgery on your xorg.conf
[12:16] <elifed> er s/due/do/
[12:16] <ROnewbie> Sound on laptops? Anyone?
[12:17] <nikin> elifed: oh... thats ok
[12:17] <orbin> !sound | ROnewbie
[12:17] <ubotu> ROnewbie: 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
[12:17] <green_> anyone know about kiba-dock?
[12:17] <elifed> ROnewbie, my experience has been if it's AC97 it just works
[12:17] <zlate> hej hej
[12:18] <Visti> Does anyone know if a Geforce FX 5200 (worst card ever) uses the legacy driver or not? Every time I install the Nvidia driver, it just breaks X on Feisty..
[12:19] <green_> looks like i wont be installing feisty
[12:20] <Visti> Meh, I'm sure stuff like that will be ixed by release..
[12:20] <elifed> the compositor Xubuntu has in XFCE is pretty damn slick
[12:20] <green_> i take it u ran the 5200 on edgy first?
[12:21] <ROnewbie> elifed: I'm right now going through the forums, trying to get the basics of this; what is AC97 ?
[12:21] <Visti> Yeah, it was alright in Edgy, I think (My fathers computer), but it broke in Feisty
[12:22] <green_> idk i just bought my 5200
[12:22] <green_> but its working fine with the nvidia driver in edgy
[12:23] <Visti> Well, I haven't found anybody with the same problem on the forums, so it might just be me screwing stuff up..
[12:23] <theTrav> ARG
[12:23] <theTrav> I wants my mp3s!
[12:23] <gordonjcp> is there a way to browse appletalk networks in Ubuntu?
[12:23] <green_> i kept messing mine up by not following the directions exactly
[12:23] <jrib> !mp3 > theTrav    (theTrav, see the private message from ubotu)
[12:24] <theTrav> thanks jrib
[12:24] <abuyazan> hello guys
[12:24] <elifed> ROnewbie, integrated audio chipset spec
[12:24] <abuyazan> please help me http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15199/
[12:25] <elifed> ROnewbie, how old is this laptop?
[12:25] <Thuryn> ??
[12:25] <ROnewbie> elifed: aaa .... about a year and half
[12:25] <ROnewbie> elifed: 2005 or so
[12:26] <elifed> oh, okay it's a little newer than mine, but not bleeding edge...
[12:26] <green_> ROnewbie does it have a crank handle on the side of it?
[12:26] <elifed> green_, evil :P
[12:27] <Fathefner> my grub still messes up
[12:27] <ROnewbie> elifed: "intel 82801db ICH4" - I think that's the sign of the beast. / crank handle ? sorry, me newbie.
[12:27] <ROnewbie> green_: crank handle ?
[12:27] <elifed> ROnewbie, he was joking
[12:27] <predaeus> Fathefner, what does it do?
[12:27] <green_> yeah as in a wind up?
[12:27] <elifed> I think...
[12:27] <ROnewbie> oooooooooooo
[12:28] <Fathefner> when i get on wondows then i try to get on ubuntu it doesnt open
[12:28] <Fathefner> windows
[12:28] <ROnewbie> funny. quietly funny. :-)
[12:28] <abuyazan> how can i fix this problem about ttf-opensymbol
[12:28] <abuyazan> i sent the error in pastebin
[12:28] <elifed> ROnewbie, okay, ironically intel designed the AC'97 spec
[12:28] <abuyazan> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15199/
[12:29] <green_> with as many wifis there are around u wouldnt even need a home if laptops had a wind up handle
[12:29] <Fathefner> then i have to reinstall ubuntu so i can get the grub working again
[12:29] <predaeus> Fathefner, sorry I don't understand what you mean. you mean after booting windows and then rebooting into ubuntu you can't reboot into windows?
[12:29] <Loevborg> How do I show, on the command line, all installed packages matching a pattern (name with wildcards such as *wlan*)?
[12:30] <jrib> Loevborg: dpkg -l '*wlan*' | grep '^ii'
[12:30] <ROnewbie> elifed: I ran a couple of weeks ago, last time I had the patience to go through this (I really want to quit windows), into a forum post where a guy with a similar problem solved it by playing with the alsamixer - he just turned some switches on and off again; I turned all of mine on in alsamixer, just in case. Nada. Zip.
[12:30] <zeroflag> could someone take a look at this script, whether it makes sense or could be useful? http://pastebin.ca/436093 (installs newest NVIDIA drivers)
[12:30] <elifed> green_, OLPC
[12:30] <Loevborg> jrib: yea, but that's awkward and needs nasty "COLUMNS=999" hacks
[12:30] <Visti> Can't you just do a 'sudo aptitude rem wlan' - As long as there's not a package actually called wlan
[12:31] <jrib> Loevborg: or   aptitude search '~i~n*mplayer*'

[12:31] <gesus> hey there wondering if someone can help me --> i'm trying to create a heap of directories from a text file (i.e. each line needs to be a directory). i'm using the command " mkdir `cat file.txt` ".  Each line is in inverted commas, but even still that command creates directories wherever there is a space. i.e. "this is one line" creates four dirs, "this", "is", "one", "line". can anyone help me??
[12:31] <Gothfunc> hi.  in vlc, i have a subtle yet obtrusive diagonal line from top left to bottom right across any movie or dvd.  i'm using ubuntu edgy, can anyone help?
[12:32] <theTrav> it instructs to click add to enable repositories, but that's no longer available
[12:32] <elifed> ah, yeah I have drama like that with this laptop in Slackware
[12:32] <Gothfunc> the line is formed seemingly by the two diagonal halves being misaligned slightly
[12:32] <jrib> Loevborg: there are probably some switches to pass to aptitude to get it to return only packages, but I forget
 or something like     dpkg --get-selections | grep *wlan*
[12:32] <Fathefner> is that what i do
[12:32] <elifed> well, off to work

[12:32] <ROnewbie> elifed: can you recommend anyone with audio experience around here ?

[12:33] <ROnewbie> elifed: forums don't help.

[12:33] <Fathefner> is there a way that i can boot grub
[12:33] <Loevborg> jrib: no output, that is
[12:33] <jrib> Loevborg: if you get rid of ~i, it lists packages?
[12:34] <Loevborg> jrib: I gotta read up on aptitude search patterns
[12:34] <jrib> Loevborg: http://people.debian.org/~dburrows/aptitude-doc/en/ch02s03.html is good

[12:45] <ROnewbie> every time I boot, I have to type this in order for my wifi to work "sudo iwconfig eth1 ap *mac nr* /  sudo iwconfig eth1 ap *wep key* / sudo dhclient eth1". What should I do not to have to do that every time ?
[12:45] <superkirbyartist> Rambo: Dell is garbage compared to this iMac G3!
[12:46] <Lightness1024> ROnewbie, script it maybe ?
[12:46] <rambo3> well we all have our perspectives
[12:46] <johny42> put it in your rc.local?
[12:46] <ROnewbie> lighness1024: how do I do that ? Mind the "newbie" section.
[12:46] <thoreauputic> ROnewbie: have you tried commenting out all entries in /etc/network/interfaces except the "lo" stanza and using network-manager ?
[12:47] <Gambaroni> How do I show the apt error in another language?
[12:47] <Lightness1024> but he has to enter a wep key anyway
[12:47] <thoreauputic> ROnewbie: that works here
[12:47] <johny42> just put the command you have to run every time into /etc/rc.local
[12:47] <thoreauputic> Lightness1024: only once - the keyring manager handles it sfter that
[12:48] <Lightness1024> okok

[12:51] <thoreauputic> Fathefner: ^^^
[12:51] <thoreauputic> sorry FatalError :)
[12:51] <superkirbyartist> Fathefner, there is no such thing as Ubuntu 6.1  try Ubuntu 6.10
[12:51] <thoreauputic> hope my error wasn't fatal
[12:51] <Fathefner> thats it

[12:52] <thoreauputic> ROnewbie: and be sure to make the file excutable

[12:53] <Lightness1024> I think if t already exists and contains exit 0, it should be executable already
[12:53] <SpAc> I've installed a new theme, but it's only half working
[12:53] <ROnewbie> thoreauputic: what's that ?
[12:53] <superkirbyartist> We need to enable direct rendering on an iMac G3 500mhz.
[12:53] <thoreauputic> Lightness1024: no, it isn't by default
[12:53] <SpAc> the window borders work, but not the buttons or controls
[12:53] <Lightness1024> orly
[12:53] <SpAc> where do I put the GTK side of things?
[12:53] <superkirbyartist>  P.S don't use XGL it disables direct rendering.
[12:53] <OpenTokix> any grub-guru awake?
[12:53] <thoreauputic> ROnewbie:  sudo chmod +x makes the file executable so it will actually do something :)
[12:53] <KenSentMe> I try to update my ubuntu server but the repository seems down (ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/mirrors/ubuntu/). Can it do any harm if i switch this to another mirror in my sources.list?
[12:54] <superkirbyartist> I would actually pay 10$ to the one who helped me enable direct rendering on my iMac G3.
[12:54] <SpAc> how do I change the GTK theme?
[12:54] <superkirbyartist> But you can't send money on the Internet.
[12:54] <predaeus> SpAc, just drag-n-drop theme archives onto the theme manager to install them. you need separate themes for window borders (metacity) and buttons and the like (gtk+ or something)
[12:55] <thoreauputic> Lightness1024: ah, apologies - you were right, it's executable by default
[12:55] <rambo3> KennethP, just do it
[12:55] <Lightness1024> thoreauputic, you know, anyway it was just a guess
[12:55] <predaeus> SpAc, see gnome-look.org   and art.gnome.org
[12:55] <SpAc> predaeus: the metacity part of it seems to have worked, how do I change the gtk part
[12:55] <SpAc> predaeus: I have the theme I want to use
[12:55] <rambo3> KennethP, and your repos should point to offcial ubuntu mirrors
[12:55] <tatters> I use TV as monitor 1 I have no secondary monitor, I installed feisty and managed to set the resolution with gnome applet to 800x600, I then tried installing and running KDE Desktop however the resolution was back to the default size and it is nearly impossible to read or see the txt , icons etc, so how can I change the resolution in KDE I see no applet to do this in the menu?
[12:55] <SpAc> predaeus: I dragged in to the theme manager window
[12:55] <thoreauputic> Lightness1024: I think mine was too :) Although I remember having to chmod it some time in the past
[12:55] <gabz> superkirbyartist, who said you can't send money on the internet :P
[12:55] <predaeus> SpAc, usually they come in 2 separate files and you just combine what you want
[12:56] <superkirbyartist> Gabz: PayPal can always crash, you know.
[12:56] <SpAc> predaeus: yep, I have a metacity directory, and a gtk directory

[12:56] <superkirbyartist> De rien.

[12:57] <equipo01> hola
[12:57] <KennethP> rambo3: Please stop - you are mistaking me for somebody else...
[12:57] <rambo3> ok batman
[12:58] <predaeus> SpAc, you can put themes to ~/.themes/ but i think those are only metacity themes
[12:58] <predaeus> don't remember where the others go
[12:58] <SpAc> fixed the problem by running: sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-pixbuf
[12:59] <ROnewbie> thoreauputic, lightness1024: it won't let me save it, after typing in the new lines. "you do not have the permissions necessary to save the file"
[12:59] <SpAc> I have no idea how I would have figured that out!
[12:59] <Lightness1024> ROnewbie, yes, execute your text editor as root
[12:59] <thoreauputic> ROnewbie:  edit it with  gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local

[01:06] <thoreauputic> niru:  Ubuntu != Debian

[01:06] <thoreauputic> niru: I know
[01:06] <Fathefner> i want to take ubuntu off a duel boot

[01:07] <Fathefner> and remove grub
[01:07] <spikeb> niru, ubuntu is fine with the terms, debian is not. hence ubuntu has firefox, debian iceweasel
[01:07] <thoreauputic> niru: umm - from mozilla presumably

[01:09] <gabz> Fathefner,  you obviously didn't pay for windows ....learn to love the penguin
[01:10] <thoreauputic> tatters: resolution is an X issue and has nothing to do with the desktop you use - maybe you have  a font issue?

[01:16] <tatters> thoreauputic: if I run xvidtune in KDE willl it allow me to change resolution in KDE? I have no idea what it is ?
[01:16] <ROnewbie> lightness: there's one thing I don't get, though: in windows, for all its sins, I can actually see all the wireless networks available, encrypted or not, and just click on them if I have the key. Anything like that in Ubuntu ?
[01:16] <Loevborg> xxtreme: you can install using the text mode installer
[01:16] <meal3837> xxtreme: try the alternate install cd
[01:16] <gabz> xxtreme, the live cd won't launch ?
[01:16] <thoreauputic> tatters: I can't imagine why you would see an actual resolution change from gnome to KDE - this is set in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and is the same for all window managers/ desktops
[01:16] <Loevborg> xxtreme: and then manually configure xorg
[01:16] <jasont308> does the next release of ubuntu include the talking install?
[01:17] <thoreauputic> tatters: xvidtune is kind of dangerous unless you read the documentation and know what it is doing

[01:21] <ROnewbie> Lightness1024: yep, I have lo, eth0, eth1, and a sit0 ,.... never saw sit0 before
[01:21] <mina_linux_Tux> #debian or where ....?!!
[01:21] <ntze> bef_, http://bcm43xx.berlios.de here you go
[01:21] <gabz> mina_linux_Tux, what do you want to know ?
[01:22] <Fathefner> i nedd to install a ter.gz how do i do that
[01:22] <thoreauputic> mina_linux_Tux: this is the ubuntu support channel
[01:22] <meal3837> rxd: pretty much anything
[01:22] <tatters> Y does gnome have a applet to set desktop resolution yet KDE does not
[01:22] <meal3837> rxd: i have a sandisk, works fine
[01:22] <Lightness1024> ROnewbie, ok, I think for your actual wireless card you should get the list of every channel that you can recieve at the moment. and the encryption information also
[01:22] <ROnewbie> thoreauputic: i think I already have network manager, is this just an additional packager or something ?
[01:22] <Lightness1024> you certainly can do this with a GUI
[01:22] <thoreauputic> tatters: try typing kcontrol in a terminal

[01:22] <Loevborg> xxtreme: and don't say Loevborg_, that isn't highlighted in xchat
[01:23] <ntze> bef_, get the bcm43xx-fwcutter tool then pass your win32 firmware file as a parameter and it shoud work
[01:23] <thoreauputic> ROnewbie: what thappens if you type  nm-applet &  in  a terminal ?
[01:23] <mina_linux_Tux> gabz: i said , i want to insert my touchscreen modules to the kernel on ubuntu 6.10 , following the Readme http://pastebin.ca/435492, not compatible with ubuntu
[01:23] <ROnewbie> Lightness1024: it's only eth1 that has that kind of info

[01:23] <TLE> jameson_: yup just install it and all its dependencies (will happen automatically)
[01:23] <jameson_> thank you, TLE
[01:23] <blank> Hi. I just installed Kubuntu Edgy Eft from the CD. Can someone please tell me what should I add to /etc/apt/sources.list to add installation CD to repository list?
[01:23] <rxd> thank you for your answers... i installed one using imation while am running ubuntu i see blinking lights most of the time will that shorten the life span of my stick?
[01:24] <meal3837> rxd: i've never had a stick just go kaput
[01:24] <ROnewbie> thoreauputic: :~$ bash: nm-applet: command not found
[01:24] <Lightness1024> ROnewbie, ok, then it must be your wireless card.
[01:24] <TLE> jameson_: but be aware that if you haven't already installed any other KDE apps it might be a sizeable download
[01:24] <meal3837> rxd: they usually die from like . . . washing machines
[01:24] <gabz> mina_linux_Tux, this is the right place to ask sorta...this is the support channel but your question isn't so noobish
[01:24] <thoreauputic> ROnewbie: sudo aptitude install network-manager-gnome
[01:24] <meal3837> rxd: even then, they're usually fine as long as they dry out before you use them again
[01:25] <Lightness1024> ROnewbie, but, its the old fashioned way to deal with that list, now you can find more usable GUI I think
[01:25] <thoreauputic> ROnewbie: you *are* running gnome, right?
[01:25] <mina_linux_Tux> gabz: __noobish__ ?
[01:25] <tatters> thoreauputic: got the kontrol up I cannot find any option that shows resolution
[01:25] <jameson_> TLE, hmm I see. I guess that's the problem of runing KDE applications on a Gnome environment
[01:25] <jameson_> but it's not that much of a problem
[01:25] <rxd> so this is expensive then running from the usb stick as in intend to put ltsp on it so a lot of reads..
[01:25] <thoreauputic> tatters: i don't have KDE here - but such a screen does exist in KDE - try asking in #kubuntu
[01:26] <tatters> k
[01:26] <blank> I've tried with "deb file:///cdrom edgy main restricted" but it doesn't work and now I again in Windows (best friend of every Linux user ;))
[01:26] <ROnewbie> Lightness1024: I think that's what I'm doing now, installing that - thoreau's advice. that's funny, I thought I had the network manager already.
[01:26] <Lightness1024> ROnewbie, ok
[01:26] <gabz> mina_linux_Tux, most questions asked here a begginer questions but i'm sure you'll find someone who knows about what you want
[01:26] <TLE> jameson_: yeah well it's just because there are some common stuff it needs, so its only for the first KDE app that you will need to install some extra stuff
[01:26] <ROnewbie> thoreauputic: : did that. Should I reboot, or can I use it now ?
[01:26] <chili555> blank: with the disk in the drive, do sudo apt-cdrom add then sudo apt-get update
[01:27] <mina_linux_Tux> gabz: u know that i passed 5 days here on channel without an answer ?
[01:27] <thoreauputic> ROnewbie: no need to reboot
[01:27] <green_> anyone know whats wrong with kiba-dock?
[01:27] <rxd> reading i guess won't affect much its the writing to the usb stick will give a try using it if it will last  a month
[01:27] <jameson_> TLE, oh I see
[01:27] <ROnewbie> thoreauputic:  so where is it ?
[01:27] <thoreauputic> ROnewbie: if it isn't in the tray, type nm-applet &
[01:27] <Lightness1024> ROnewbie, I have to go for dinner now (yeah japan time), my friend is waiting me. good luck with your wifi :) follow thoreauputic instructions ! bye
[01:27] <jameson_> TLE, thanks for the tips :)
[01:28] <thoreauputic> ROnewbie: it should appear top right in the notification area of your top panel
[01:28] <blank> chili555, Thanks, I'm going to try that out.
[01:28] <ROnewbie> Lightness1024: thanks a lot, bye
[01:28] <ROnewbie> thoreauputic: it did, but I already had one just like it
[01:28] <gabz> mina_linux_Tux, how far have you gotten in installing it so far ?
[01:28] <thoreauputic> ROnewbie: you can then click it to see networks etc
[01:28] <TLE> jameson_: your welcome
[01:28] <thoreauputic> ROnewbie: umm - no, not if the system said it could not find the nm-applet command
[01:29] <TLE> jameson_: err: you're
[01:29] <thoreauputic> ROnewbie: you mighthave had the network status applet
[01:29] <jameson_> :P
[01:29] <ROnewbie> thoreauputic: yeah, after I typed nm-applet I got "[1]  5447"; that's what I got last time too, except then i also got the "couldn't" find the nm-applet
[01:29] <ROnewbie> in the following line
[01:30] <mina_linux_Tux> gabz: following the instructions in the Readme file , i didn't find the /etc/rc.d/rc.local , so i tried to put the module in /lib/modules/`uname -r` then i did run depmod -ae then modprobe module-name , returned invalid module format
[01:30] <ROnewbie> thoreauputic: this was before the install - ionut@ionut-laptop:~$ nm-applet &
[01:30] <ROnewbie> [1]  5066
[01:30] <ROnewbie> ionut@ionut-laptop:~$ bash: nm-applet: command not found
[01:30] <thoreauputic> ROnewbie: if you click the icon you should see networks within range, and/or wired network if it is connected
[01:31] <ROnewbie> thoreauputic: and here's the new result ionut@ionut-laptop:~$ nm-applet &
[01:31] <ROnewbie> [1]  5447
[01:31] <gabz> mina_linux_Tux, do you know what distro the how to was written for ?
[01:31] <thoreauputic> ROnewbie: well, it isn't complaining now, is it?
[01:31] <thoreauputic> ROnewbie: have you clicked the new icon?
[01:32] <ROnewbie> thoreauputic: no, it's not about that, I just hope i didn't do something silly; on the old icon I can see both eth1 and lo, and that's it; on the new one I only see an inactive "wired network"
[01:32] <Teres_> i just installed an update on fiesty but now when i log in it doesnt do anything. i put in my username and password and then it does nothing...the screen just goes to the background
[01:32] <ntze> Hi there, i have to install windows on my ubuntu box. Is there any way to get them running togheter?
[01:32] <Teres_> wat do ido ?
[01:32] <tatters> #Kubuntu  is dead as a dodo, does anyone have kcontrol tell me where the option to set screen resolution is located pls
[01:32] <mina_linux_Tux> gabz: they written it for Fedora, mandriva http://www.irtouch.com/unitop_en2/download.asp
[01:32] <thoreauputic> ROnewbie: did you configure your network using the system-networking tool?
[01:33] <thoreauputic> ROnewbie: if so, nm-applet will be confused
[01:33] <ROnewbie> thoreauputic: aaaa ... don't know. Which one is that ?
[01:33] <gabz> mina_linux_Tux, rc.d in ubuntu will be rc0.d - rc6.d
[01:33] <mina_linux_Tux> gabz: i have to load the module before startx
[01:34] <thoreauputic> ROnewbie: netork-manager likes to control all network config - you will want to disable all manual config either in /etc/network/interfaces , or in the GUI under system- admin - network
[01:34] <warriorforgod> has anyone here successfully installed NoMachine NX server on 6.10 amd64?
[01:34] <jon_> !ndiswrapper
[01:34] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[01:34] <thoreauputic> ROnewbie: your /etc/network/interfaces file should have only a loopback ( lo) stanza
[01:35] <gabz> mina_linux_Tux, so which howto are you trying to flow mandriva ?
[01:35] <thoreauputic> ROnewbie: if you want to use network-manager
[01:35] <mina_linux_Tux> gabz: are these r0.d insertable and which of them i have to insert the insmod in ?
[01:35] <gabz> mina_linux_Tux, follow
[01:35] <mina_linux_Tux> gabz: Fedora
[01:36] <xxtreme> Loveborg_ u there
[01:36] <ROnewbie> thoreauputic: ok, let's simplify this: I right-click on the old icon and in the "about" section it says "network monitor 2.12.0"; the new icon, very similar to the older one, says in the "about"  that it's "NetworkManager Applet 0.6.3". So I guess it's not one and the same, right ?
[01:36] <thoreauputic> ROnewbie: right :)
[01:37] <thoreauputic> ROnewbie: nm-applet is the second one
[01:37] <thoreauputic> ROnewbie: the other one is basically useless IMHO
[01:37] <thoreauputic> ;)
[01:37] <Fathefner> is anyone here using ndiswrapper
[01:37] <thoreauputic> !anyone
[01:37] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[01:37] <ajehuk> Fathefner : I am
[01:37] <xxtreme> Loveborg_ it says xserver not installed
[01:37] <jonathan_> hi
[01:38] <Fathefner> then can u get it in a .deb
[01:38] <ROnewbie> thoreauputic: ok; it's just a little confusing that they look almost the same, and the older one also has a bar that shows me the strength of the wifi signal ... it's so confusing, I'd take that to mean it's a networking manager too.
[01:38] <jonathan_> my firt time using ubuntu
[01:38] <gabz> mina_linux_Tux, i'll give things a read
[01:38] <thoreauputic> ROnewbie: yes, it is confusing I agree
[01:38] <ajehuk> Fathefner : you can but you still need to use module assistant to create the kernel module
[01:38] <ROnewbie> thoreauputic: so, if i'm not too much of a pain in the ass, how should I go about using the second one ?
[01:38] <Fathefner> idk what ur talking about im a noob
[01:38] <thoreauputic> ROnewbie: now make sure your /etc/network/interfaces file has *only* a loopback stanza
[01:39] <ajehuk> Fathefner : to get a working ndiswrapper install you will need to install...
[01:39] <ROnewbie> thoreauputic: ok, is this the gedit thing again
[01:39] <ROnewbie> ?
[01:39] <Fathefner> and i dont know how to install .tar
[01:39] <thoreauputic> ROnewbie:  comment any others out with a # mark
[01:39] <ajehuk> Fathefner : it should all be available via your repositries through apt
[01:39] <Fathefner> i just to ubuntu
[01:39] <thoreauputic> ROnewbie: yes,  gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
[01:39] <Fathefner> whats that

[01:40] <xxtreme> Anyone know how to get xserver working on new install
[01:40] <ajehuk> Fathefner : OK do you know how to install software normally? sudo apt-get, or aptitude etc?
[01:40] <ajehuk> xxtreme : is an xserver installed?
[01:40] <Fathefner> no
[01:40] <BVBBQ> hello, since the recent update my sound doesnt work. can someone help me?
[01:40] <s-toned> my problem from yesterday (OO.o wouldn't start anymore) could be solved by "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[01:41] <ROnewbie> thoreauputic: ok, I'll do that, but I'm guessing it will cut my connection off at one point. What do I do after changing the file ?
[01:41] <ajehuk> Fathefner : OK first off then, open an xterm, type alt+F4 and enter xterm into the run command
[01:41] <Fathefner> i dont have internet on my ubuntu
[01:41] <thoreauputic> ROnewbie: once you have that file in order, run    sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart
[01:41] <ajehuk> Fathefner : Ah that would make it harder
[01:41] <OpenTokix> init.d <3
[01:41] <thoreauputic> ROnewbie: that will tell network-manager to set up yout connection
[01:41] <xxtreme> Ajehuk_ no cause it won't install nothing, help please
[01:41] <predaeus> BVBBQ, did you check alsamixer settings?
[01:41] <Fathefner> can i just talk to u viz pm
[01:41] <thoreauputic> *your
[01:42] <ajehuk> sure Fathefner
[01:42] <ROnewbie> thoreauputic: thanks, I'll give this a shot
[01:42] <BVBBQ> predaeus, how do i check?
[01:42] <ROnewbie> thoreauputic: brb
[01:42] <ajehuk> xxtreme : what are you installing (package name)
[01:42] <thoreauputic> ROnewbie: if you get stuck, there is plenty on the wiki about all this
[01:42] <gabz> mina_linux_Tux, yeah the listed OS are too different from ubuntu to be any real help.. i don't know enough about how the kernel drivers work i suggest going to the debian irc and see if they have any answers i gtg restart x
[01:42] <predaeus> BVBBQ, I mean did you check loudness settings, sometimes the output is just muted
[01:42] <predaeus> BVBBQ, you can run alsamixer from a terminal/console
[01:42] <Fathefner> ndiswrapper
[01:42] <xxtreme> Ajehuk_ I'm trying to install ubuntu 6.10
[01:43] <BVBBQ> predaeus, yeah, thats fine when i try running alsamixer from terminal it says command not found.
[01:43] <ajehuk> Fathefner : You need to get hold of a number of things to install ndiswrapper, quite a large number in fact, do you have any way of getting a network connection under ubuntu?
[01:43] <predaeus> BVBBQ, oh, well I guess your device does not use the alsa driver then, should be fine. No idea what else it could be sorry.
[01:43] <BVBBQ> predaeus, when i first set up the computer i had to do something to get the sound working. but now i dont remember what.
[01:43] <predaeus> BVBBQ, are you on feisty or still on edgy?
[01:43] <Fathefner> nope

[01:43] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs

[01:44] <Fathefner> ive tryed direct and wireless
[01:44] <predaeus> BVBBQ, probably search the forums for info about your sound card
[01:44] <Xteven> when is 7.04 supposed to come out ? :)

[01:44] <Xteven> "when it's finished" ?
[01:44] <BVBBQ> predaeus, how can i check to see what kind i have?
[01:44] <xxtreme> Ajehuk_ I'm trying to install on 17" laptop, with intel chip and it can't find my monitor
[01:44] <Xteven> predaeus: ah ok
[01:44] <Teres_> ??
[01:44] <ajehuk> Fathefner : That could make it quite difficult to install ndiswrapper, but inshort, you need to get hold of the ubuntu ndiswrapper packages and module assistant, as well as your kernel-headers.
[01:45] <predaeus> BVBBQ, hm you could do a lspci and look for anything that looks like a sound card
[01:45] <suok_0> hi
[01:45] <ajehuk> xxtreme : so do you currently have command line access to the machine?
[01:45] <Slick>  hey guys, I've just started using xubuntu.  I've noticed that open office doesn't look very good under xfce, I did a google and someone suggested that you should install openoffice-gtk, does anyone know how to do that?
[01:45] <Fathefner> it wont regonize y hardware
[01:45] <suok_0> i need a tutorial for creating VIDEOGAMES
[01:45] <suok_0> in flash...
[01:45] <suok_0> (action script)
[01:45] <Fathefner> my
[01:45] <suok_0> do you wanna help me.. ?
[01:45] <xxtreme> Ajehuk_ correct but nothings installed
[01:45] <suok_0> please
[01:46] <BVBBQ> predaeus, ok it says i have a Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family)
[01:46] <ajehuk> xxtreme , in that case I suggest you install xserver-xorg by using apt at the command line,
[01:46] <BVBBQ> predaeus, i remember i had to use some other driver from alsa to get it to work.
[01:46] <predaeus> BVBBQ, hm
[01:47] <Fathefner> how do i make my network connection work
[01:47] <kristjansiimson> hello
[01:47] <BVBBQ> predaeus, when i go to test my sound it says "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open resource for writing."
[01:47] <kristjansiimson> how come i cant make extended partitions in ubuntu feisty installer?
[01:47] <ajehuk> Fathefner - do you have a normal wired connection as well as your wireless?
[01:47] <xxtreme> Ajehuk_ so I type sudo apt-get install xserver
[01:47] <Fathefner> ya
[01:47] <thoreauputic> Fathefner: I think you need to give some thought to asking more specific questions
[01:48] <kristjansiimson> should it be possible to create extended partitions in feisty installer?
[01:48] <Fathefner> how do i make ubuntu see my connection
[01:48] <ajehuk> xxtreme : I believe it is xserver-xorg you may also need x-window-system and x-window-system-core
[01:48] <thoreauputic> Fathefner: it depends - your question is so general that it doesn't have a clear answer
[01:49] <xxtreme> Ajehuk_ ok I'm typing now
[01:49] <Fathefner> is there a program in ubuntu that can mange a network connection
[01:49] <thoreauputic> !network-manager-gnome | Fathefner
[01:49] <ajehuk> Fathefner : There is, best thing to do is to go through a few steps with you, I assume (since you are on irc) that you have a network connection elsewhere
[01:50] <kristjansiimson> help... theres only primary and logical partition types, i need extended
[01:50] <Fathefner> i am on windows
[01:50] <thoreauputic> !network-manager | Fathefner
[01:50] <ubotu> Fathefner: networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager
[01:50] <mina_linux_Tux> no one on this # is experienced with kernel modules on ubuntu , is there another place ... for this issue?
[01:50] <predaeus> BVBBQ, see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=398340&highlight=intel+82801G+ich7     last post
[01:50] <BVBBQ> predaeus, thanks
[01:50] <keyo_> hello everyone
[01:50] <predaeus> BVBBQ, you probably need to install alsa aswell or something
[01:51] <thoreauputic> hmm network-manager doesn't just do wireless
[01:51] <ajehuk> Fathefner : is your ubuntu box on at the same time or is it a different operating system on the same computer?
[01:51] <BVBBQ> predaeus, its killing me not having any music
[01:51] <Fathefner> yes
[01:51] <ROnewbi1> thoreauputic: I cannot believe this, it works ... I've been on the network monitor for 2 weeks thinking I was all set ..
[01:51] <Fathefner> i have 2
[01:51] <xxtreme> Ajehuk_ it says xserver is already the newest version
[01:51] <thoreauputic> ROnewbi1: it works? Great!
[01:51] <predaeus> BVBBQ, I know what you mean,  I always have problems with my mic, but at least sound output works out-of-the-box
[01:51] <ROnewbi1> thoreauputic:  thanks a lot. btw, should I also change the rc.local edits I made earlier ?
[01:52] <BVBBQ> predaeus, its odd. everything worked fine. untill the last update. now no sound.
[01:52] <mina_linux_Tux> ppl may anyone answer me
[01:52] <ajehuk> Fathefner : great, I would suggest that you open a xterm window on your ubuntu installation and run 'sudo ifconfig -a' and then tell me when your done
[01:52] <thoreauputic> ROnewbi1: I was thinking about that - if it doesn't interfere, leave it
[01:52] <predaeus> BVBBQ, I guess that config file got overwritten, the one they state
[01:52] <ajehuk> xxtreme : OK thats fine, next, if you can run as root, or sude X -configure
[01:52] <predaeus> BVBBQ, probably you did that change before
[01:52] <ajehuk> *sud
[01:52] <ajehuk> *sudo
[01:53] <thoreauputic> ROnewbi1: if weird things happen, just make /etc/rc.local not executable ( sudo chmod -x /etc/rc.local )
[01:53] <BVBBQ> predaeus, the change i did was more complex
[01:53] <ROnewbi1> thoreauputic: well, I haven't restarted yet, so I'm guessing it may become a problem once I do restart ... I hope that won't be the case
[01:53] <kristjansiimson> is there anything about the new feisty partitioner? so far its bs
[01:54] <predaeus> BVBBQ, probably look at this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=314383   and just search the forums for more info, there is a SEARCH option on the top right.
[01:54] <thoreauputic> ROnewbi1: ah - try making it non-executable and see if n-m works by itself
[01:54] <wizard> ^^ Yay for scanner issues.  Supposedly the hp officejet 5610 is out-of-the-box xsane compatible... but apparently it's not?  xsane can't find it when scanning for devices...
[01:54] <thoreauputic> ROnewbi1: if not, chmod +x it again
[01:54] <wizard> it works as a printer, though.
[01:54] <ROnewbi1> thoreauputic: ok, I'll try this.
[01:54] <predaeus> kristjansiimson, you can also join #ubuntu+1 for feisty related issues, since feisty is still beta
[01:54] <BVBBQ> predaeus, one last favor. can you put that post in laymens terms for me. just so i dont mess anything up
[01:54] <mina_linux_Tux> No UBUNTU Kernel ppl here
[01:54] <thoreauputic> ROnewbi1: you may have to re-enter your keys etc
[01:55] <thoreauputic> ROnewbi1: a GUI box should pop up to do that though, when you login
[01:55] <NickGarvey> mina_linux_Tux: I'm not an ubuntu kernel person but I might be able to help you with a question
[01:55] <predaeus> BVBBQ, which one?
[01:55] <xxtreme> Ajehuk_ it says xorg is not able to detect mouse and to test the server run X -config
[01:55] <ajehuk> xxtreme : that is very common and probably why your X server isnt starting
[01:55] <ajehuk> xxtreme : you wouldnt believe how many times I have come accross this
[01:55] <BVBBQ> predaeus, actually just got it. but how do i edit a read only file?
[01:56] <ajehuk> xxtreme : luckily we can confirm that it is the problem and then fix it
[01:56] <NickGarvey> BVBBQ: you don't genearally.. what file is this?
[01:56] <mina_linux_Tux> NickGarvey:  i said , i want to insert my touchscreen modules to the kernel on ubuntu 6.10 , following the Readme http://pastebin.ca/435492, not compatible with ubuntu
[01:56] <ROnewbi1> thoreauputic: well, I did that (sudo chmod -x /etc/rc.local), nothing happend, I'm still online. And nmanager asked me for the keys when I started it anyway
[01:56] <BVBBQ> predaeus, i cant remember the command.
[01:56] <ROnewbi1> thoreauputic:  so i guess it's ok now
[01:56] <NickGarvey> mina_linux_Tux: how do you know it is not compatible with ubuntu?
[01:56] <thoreauputic> ROnewbi1: something would only happen on boot
[01:56] <BVBBQ> NickGarvey, alsa-base to get my sound working again
[01:56] <predaeus> BVBBQ, sudo gedit filename       but probably do a      sudo cp filename filename.bak    first
[01:56] <ROnewbi1> thoreauputic:  :-D. let's find out
[01:56] <ajehuk> xxtreme : what I need you to do next is install a simple console text editor / file manager (unless you are comfortable using vi)
[01:56] <xxtreme> Ajehuk_ I hope so, what to do now?
[01:56] <thoreauputic> ROnewbi1: that script only runs on boot, or when you run it yourself
[01:56] <NickGarvey> preaction: (gksudo)
[01:57] <ajehuk> xxtreme : I sugest installing 'mc'
[01:57] <predaeus> BVBBQ, to make a backup in case you need the original file later
[01:57] <BVBBQ> predaeus, your a king pred!
[01:58] <rambo3> mina_linux_Tux, why dont you just copy the modules into soruce and do depmod
[01:58] <mina_linux_Tux> NickGarvey: enough i tried it....? ,  i have to put the insmod in /etc/rc.d/rc.local before startx which isn't not present , i tried to put the module in /lib/modules/`uname -r` and run depmod -ae , modprobe mod. name , returned Invalid module format
[01:58] <wizard> Anyone have experience with HP Officejet All-in-ones
[01:58] <wizard> ?
[01:59] <NickGarvey> mina_linux_Tux: did you compile the module?
[01:59] <predaeus> mina_linux_Tux, you need to have modules compiled for the exact same kernel  that you are running to be able to load them
[01:59] <NickGarvey> mina_linux_Tux: let me reword, how did you?
[01:59] <thoreauputic> !anyone | wizard
[01:59] <ubotu> wizard: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[01:59] <cableroy> hi, i have problem with burning with k3b, Encountered an incorrectly encoded filename, this may be caused by a system update witch changed the local character set... how do i fix that?
[01:59] <selinuxium> hi all!
[01:59] <ajehuk> xxtreme : how is that going?
[01:59] <Fathefner> ok im back
[01:59] <theTrav> ok, so I've got a laptop here and I'm trying to set up the video out to go to my projector
[01:59] <mina_linux_Tux> NickGarvey: i got it from http://www.irtouch.com/unitop_en2/download.asp
[02:00] <blank> Hi. I've installed Kubuntu Edgy Eft amd64. Can someone please tell me where can I find "br2684ctl" package for, without it, I cannot make my ADSL modem to work?
[02:00] <rambo3> !locales > cableroy
[02:00] <ajehuk> Fathefner : how are you getting on?
[02:00] <theTrav> step 1, ask for the right docs
[02:00] <Nuke13> Anyone need hlp?
[02:00] <NickGarvey> mina_linux_Tux: what one did you download?
[02:01] <BVBBQ> predaeus, do i need to add an extention to alsa-base for it to recognise it as a text file? because when i tried sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base it gave me a bunch of errors about the card.
[02:01] <xxtreme> Ajehuk_ I typed sudo apt-get install gedit
[02:01] <mina_linux_Tux> predaeus: and how to compile it and i don't have its source code , so as i mentioned they provide the driver for Fedora and mandriva http://www.irtouch.com/unitop_en2/download,asp
[02:01] <joe4444> i finally figured out why my Right ALT key didn't work... it seems the default settings use it as the "third level chooser" ...anyone else had this problem?
[02:01] <theTrav> anyone?
[02:01] <blank> joe4444, do you use KDE?
[02:01] <NickGarvey> joe4444: um, I wouldn't call it a problem, its for internation keyboards
[02:01] <NickGarvey> national*
[02:02] <ajehuk> xxtreme : that wont work as it is a X based editor, you need something like vi or edit, although mc is probably the most usable editor, (i.e. not as command driven)
[02:02] <ROnewbie> thoreauputic: wow. great. I feel human again
[02:02] <joe4444> and related to that, that keyboard option forces me to choose a key....
[02:02] <ROnewbie> :-DD
[02:02] <NickGarvey> joe4444: I had it set up like that on XP so I could do the N with the squiggle
[02:02] <thoreauputic> joe4444: yes, known bug - if you rerun  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, just blank the entry that refers to it
[02:02] <joe4444> NickGarvey, i see
[02:02] <theTrav> connecting an external monitor to a lappy running edgy
[02:02] <Fathefner> i too what is said
[02:02] <Fathefner> let me send it to u
[02:02] <mina_linux_Tux> NickGarvey: FC6 Last update , may is there any one of these available updates with the same kernel version of ubuntu 6.10 ?
[02:02] <ajehuk> xxtreme : I would strongy suggest installing that, unless you know howto use vi
[02:02] <thoreauputic> ROnewbie: :) Glad it's working
[02:02] <wizard> ^^ sane-find-scanner detects my HP, xsane does not.  sudo scanimage -L does not.  What should I do?
[02:02] <BVBBQ> predaeus, nevermind. im am an idiot. figured it out.
[02:02] <NickGarvey> mina_linux_Tux: fedora != ubuntu, http://www.irtouch.com/unitop_en2/UploadFiles/Linux_Com.zip
[02:02] <ajehuk> xxtreme : thats sudo apt-get install mc
[02:02] <xxtreme> Ajehuk_ ok I'm installing vi
[02:02] <predaeus> blank, the package has that name
[02:02] <NickGarvey> mina_linux_Tux: use that one and follow the instructions in the readme
[02:02] <Fathefner> ajehuk
[02:02] <ajehuk> xxtreme - you happy using vi?
[02:02] <Fathefner> i am sening u the txt
[02:03] <blank> I'm (trying) using Kubuntu Edgy Eft amd64. Can someone please tell me where can I find "br2684ctl" package for it, without it, I cannot make my ADSL modem to work?
[02:03] <Fathefner> i has what is said
[02:03] <rambo3> !compile > mina_linux_Tux
[02:03] <joe4444> thoreauputic, well i changed it to the Menu key... i don't have a menu key on my US keyboard... is it just another name for a standard key or is it only on international keyboards?
[02:03] <ROnewbie> thoreauputic: it works; there's one thing that scares the living s.. out of me; I'm soon thinking of upgrading to Feisty, and i REALLY hope I  won't have to go through the tweaking of the last weeks; do you know if these changes can be maintained, and just upgrade to 7.04 ?
[02:03] <blank> predaeus, But where is it??
[02:03] <predaeus> blank, the package has that name

[02:17] <ubotu> fat_hefner: 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
[02:17] <NickGarvey> YNWA: hm
[02:17] <Thuryn> Hello
[02:17] <wizard> I fixed my scanner, thanks ^^
[02:17] <predaeus> BVBBQ, does speaker-test work?
[02:18] <YNWA> NickGarvey: and also on my camera, too
[02:18] <fat_hefner> ok i have ubuntu pluged with a cord
[02:18] <fat_hefner> what do i do next
[02:18] <Thuryn> confidential
[02:18] <xxtreme> Ajehuk_ what's the last part of that address, I only got to m/mc
[02:18] <NickGarvey> YNWA: where are you plugging it in? directly into the computer?
[02:18] <BVBBQ> predaeus, one sec
[02:18] <YNWA> NickGarvey: yeah
[02:18] <fat_hefner> can someone kick fathefner
[02:18] <jon_> chili555: can i query
[02:18] <NickGarvey> fat_hefner: you do it
[02:19] <NickGarvey> fat_hefner: /msg nickserv ghost Fathefner password
[02:19] <ajehuk> xxtreme after /m/mc there is   /mc_4.6.0-4.6.1-pre1-3ubuntu1_i386.deb
[02:19] <chili555> jon_ not working at the moment
[02:19] <BVBBQ> predaeus, no i still get the error i had when i started
[02:19] <rambo3> mina_linux_Tux, ok google : tkusb.ko ubuntu or debian
[02:19] <fat_hefner> i dont have a login in this sever
[02:19] <thoreauputic> fat_hefner: do you need someone to hold your hand for *everything* ?
[02:19] <NickGarvey> fat_hefner: register it then
[02:19] <fat_hefner> ajehuk
[02:19] <NickGarvey> heck I can do it I think
[02:19] <chili555> jon_ try asking here
[02:19] <predaeus> BVBBQ, what does it say? if the output is more than 3 lines please post to the pastebin.
[02:19] <ajehuk> fat_hefner : yeah?
[02:19] <NickGarvey> maybe not
[02:20] <fat_hefner> is the one from before
[02:20] <Kanzie> so, is the general concencus that Feasty is working well or is noone using it?
[02:20] <jon_> chili555: ok, well, sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf had some error, couldn't copy bcmwl5.inf at /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper-1.8 line 144
[02:20] <theTrav> ok, so... Is there any app for helping manage multiple monitors?
[02:20] <ajehuk> fat_hefner : I figured
[02:20] <fat_hefner> i have ubuntu pluged in
[02:20] <NickGarvey> YNWA: hm..
[02:20] <jon_> chili555: and then jon@jon-desktop:~/bcm4306$ sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf
[02:20] <jon_> bcmwl5 is already installed. Use -e to remove it
[02:20] <fat_hefner> but how do i get on the net
[02:20] <thoreauputic> Kanzie: it's working well and lots of people use it, but be aware there are still breakages happening
[02:20] <theTrav> or am I going to have to root around in xorg.conf
[02:20] <jon_> chili555: try to remove, says it isnt installed, list and it says installed drivers: bcmwl5  invalid driver!
[02:20] <NickGarvey> YNWA: sudo rmmod ehci_hcd
[02:20] <NickGarvey> YNWA: run that
[02:21] <NickGarvey> YNWA: then pull it out and put it back in
[02:21] <BVBBQ> predaeus, audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open resource for writing.
[02:21] <YNWA> NickGarvey:alrighty
[02:21] <Kanzie> thoreauputic, how is the driver-support for it? Can I just use Edgy-repos without any conflicts?
[02:21] <mina_linux_Tux> rambo3: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22tkusb.ko+ubuntu%22&btnG=Search
[02:21] <ajehuk> fat_hefner - slow down, first of all are you using a router for internet access?
[02:21] <thoreauputic> Kanzie: of course not - use feisty rpos for feisty
[02:21] <theTrav> anyone? anyone here running multiple monitors at all?
[02:21] <fat_hefner> a modem
[02:21] <xxtreme> Ajehuk_ ok so do I just use sudo apt-get and enter the address
[02:21] <NickGarvey> theTrav: I really think google would be your best bet
[02:22] <ajehuk> xxtreme : no
[02:22] <Kanzie> thoreauputic, but in times when no feasty-repos has been set up, am I screwed then or?
[02:22] <thoreauputic> !upgrade | Kanzie
[02:22] <ubotu> Kanzie: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[02:22] <theTrav> yeah I'm giving google and the ubuntu community docs a thorough thrashing
[02:22] <predaeus> BVBBQ, does ls /dev/dsp   list anything?
[02:22] <ajehuk> xxtreme : you use wget to download the file
[02:22] <Kanzie> ubotu, cheers
[02:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cheers - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:22] <theTrav> but they keep turning up solutions that involve conf file jiggery pokery
[02:22] <ajehuk> xxtreme : i.e. wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/m/mc/mc_4.6.0-4.6.1-pre1-3ubuntu1_i386.deb
[02:22] <thoreauputic> Kanzie: the feisty repos are set up and work just fine
[02:22] <YNWA> I get this error saying module ehici_hid does not exist in /proc/modules
[02:22] <NickGarvey> theTrav: I'm pretty sure you will find something
[02:22] <NickGarvey> theTrav: yeah, you might need to do that
[02:22] <theTrav> and I want an app to make it easy
[02:22] <NickGarvey> YNWA: hm..
[02:22] <ajehuk> xxtreme : and then sudo dpkg -i ./mc_4.6.0-4.6.1-pre1-3ubuntu1_i386.deb
[02:22] <thoreauputic> Kanzie: ubotu is a bot :)
[02:22] <NickGarvey> theTrav: write one ;)
[02:23] <ajehuk> xxtreme : to install the downloaded package
[02:23] <BVBBQ> predaeus, "no such file or directory"
[02:23] <predaeus> !bot > Kanzie
[02:23] <theTrav> especially since I'm going to want to be plugging in and removing monitors all the time
[02:23] <theTrav> write one?
[02:23] <YNWA> I think my version is lazy...
[02:23] <NickGarvey> theTrav: (joke..)
[02:23] <YNWA> :(
[02:23] <theTrav> hmm, not a bad idea
[02:23] <henry_> hi! i'm trying to setup ubuntu server, but it fails after first reboot: grub detects the kernel, but befor anything is printet on the screen, the box reboots. has anyone seen such a behaviour before?
[02:23] <theTrav> but I don't know how yet
[02:23] <chili555> jon_ are you able to install it now that you erased it?
[02:23] <predaeus> BVBBQ, what does    lsmod | grep snd    say? probably paste to the pastebin if it is a long output
[02:23] <kane77> Kanzie, feisty works well...
[02:23] <theTrav> I'm a povo web developer
[02:23] <ajehuk> fat_hefner so what have you plugged into your network port? the modem?
[02:23] <NickGarvey> YNWA: maybe.. I dunno I run feisty
[02:23] <HaRDaWaY> hi
[02:24] <kane77> Kanzie, and it has all software in repos that edgy has...
[02:24] <YNWA> I would do a clean install, but Feisty seem to only be content with wiping my Windows partiton

[02:24] <fat_hefner> i have it pluged into my network port
[02:24] <NickGarvey> YNWA: no, do the manual partitioning instead
[02:24] <NickGarvey> YNWA: I personally don't like the partitioner in the installer, I use gparted to partition first
[02:24] <predaeus> BVBBQ, hm probably try installing    alsa-base   and alsa-utils
[02:25] <kane77> NickGarvey, agree... partitioner is what needs to be changed I guess..
[02:25] <YNWA> NickGarvey: yeah - I'm not sure how to install Feisty where and all that...
[02:25] <YNWA> and what kind of filesystem to partition them with
[02:25] <NickGarvey> YNWA: you can just format the current ubuntu partition..
[02:26] <NickGarvey> YNWA: if you have linux installed already its all set up for you
[02:26] <NickGarvey> YNWA: just need to wipe the old and put in the new
[02:26] <predaeus> BVBBQ, I am not sure but I think the alsa modules are not loaded. There is no sound device in /dev which is the reason for the programs complaining.
[02:26] <chili555> jon_ gotta run, work calls
[02:26] <BVBBQ> predaeus, ok got alsa-base, alsa utils says no such file.
[02:26] <YNWA> NickGarvey: hmmm...  I format using...?
[02:26] <ajehuk> fat_hefner : OK I suggest you try typing ifup eth0 at the command line o see if you get a net connection.  this will happen IF you have connected your PC to the correct port on your modem, and the modem supplies dhcp leases, (effectivley if the modem is a router too). It also assumes that the network card is working, but I have yet to see a desktop network that doesnt
[02:26] <kane77> YNWA, create a partition with gparted (if you dont have one already, if so you can select manual partitioning and chose the existing one..) use ext3 filesystem
[02:26] <YNWA> Windows?
[02:26] <NickGarvey> YNWA: the partitioner in the installer
[02:27] <YNWA> NickGarvey: Thanks, I'll give that a try. I'll reboot and load the Live CD... See how that goes
[02:27] <NickGarvey> 5 bucks says the q distro will be "quirky quail"
[02:27] <NickGarvey> oh, sorry, wrong chat
[02:27] <NickGarvey> YNWA: alright, I will probably still be her
[02:27] <predaeus> BVBBQ, what do you mean? alsa-utils no such file? it should be in the repos
[02:28] <kane77> bbl
[02:28] <thoreauputic> Nicke: Querulous Quoll - and #ubuntu-offtopic is --> that way ;p
[02:28] <predaeus> BVBBQ, sudo apt-get install alsa-base alsa-utils
[02:28] <fat_hefner> ok will do
[02:28] <thoreauputic> NickGarvey: ^^
[02:28] <BVBBQ> predaeus, sorry typo
[02:28] <BVBBQ> predaeus, ok got them. now what?
[02:29] <predaeus> BVBBQ, not sure how to load the sound modules from here, try a reboot to see if they get loaded automatically.
[02:29] <henry_> nobody ever stumbeld over my "reboot-after-install-issue"?
[02:29] <predaeus> BVBBQ, or see what alsamixer says
[02:29] <BVBBQ> predaeus, ok. rebooting.
[02:29] <jon__> now ndiswrapper -l returns: bcmwl5          driver installed, hardware present -- but the LEDs are not on, and it's not working lol
[02:29] <simono> how is 64bit support coming along? any major packages that won't work?
[02:29] <NickGarvey> jon_: is there a button to hit?
[02:29] <simono> it think about install feisty64
[02:29] <NickGarvey> simono: flash.. java.. (I use 32 bit on a 64 system)
[02:30] <fat_hefner> it said permission denyed
[02:30] <simono> Nicke, still flash and java probs... hm... that's how it was 6month ago :-)
[02:30] <getBeer> Hi y'all... my conky is too transparent so id like to set it darker, does any1 know how to do it?
[02:30] <ajehuk> xxtreme: Ive got to go in a moment but look at http://pastebin.ca/436276
[02:30] <BVBBQ> predaeus,  function snd_ctl_open failed for default: no such device
[02:30] <ajehuk> xxtreme : give me a shout as soon as you can...
[02:30] <fat_hefner> ajehuk: it said perission denied
[02:30] <predaeus> simono, I only know of flash, wine and some windows video codecs having problems.   There is java for amd64 as far as I know.
[02:31] <simono> predaeus, thanks.. but this is still a no-go for me.. i was hoping everything works as in 32
[02:31] <predaeus> BVBBQ, yea try a reboot
[02:31] <ajehuk> fat_hefner : sorry - should have said sudo ifup eth0
[02:31] <henry_> got it from to forums, sorry for asking before searching properly
[02:31] <fat_hefner> ok
[02:32] <ajehuk> xxtreme : did you get that?
[02:32] <predaeus> simono, there is gnash which supports flash for amd64 but it's only flash 7 or something I fear. I think they are reverse engeneering, crappy commercial codecs and protocols.
[02:32] <thoreauputic> Visti: turn that script off please
[02:32] <BVBBQ> predaeus, brb, restarting
[02:32] <fat_hefner> ajehuk: eth0 already configured
[02:32] <Dextorion> hey hey..  How can i unbind a socket?

[02:33] <ajehuk> fat_hefner - do you now have web access?
[02:33] <predaeus> Dextorion, are you programming?
[02:33] <jon__> NickGarvey: a button??
[02:33] <jon__> NickGarvey: it's a PCI card, lol, there is no button.
[02:33] <fat_hefner> eth0 already configured
[02:33] <NickGarvey> jon_: eh, mine has a button
[02:33] <Dextorion> predaeus: ya, i have a kind of broken socket  class that im working on. I get those nasty address already in use all the time.
[02:33] <NickGarvey> jon_: try "sudo ifconfig devname up"
[02:33] <Dextorion> predaeus: i cant close the socket from the program right yet.
[02:33] <predaeus> Dextorion, just wait a bit for the kernel to free it again, after a run.
[02:33] <Dextorion> predaeus: Would be great...
[02:34] <fat_hefner> i does
[02:34] <predaeus> Dextorion, or use random sockets in the proggy
[02:34] <fat_hefner> it works
[02:34] <fat_hefner> ajehuk: it does
[02:34] <Dextorion> predaeus: ah.. well. :) Guess i just have to do that. Thanks anyways :)
[02:34] <ajehuk> NickGarvey - if xxtreme comes ack looking for me can you point him/her at http://pastebin.ca/436276
[02:34] <predaeus> Dextorion, the  kernel frees them after some time.
[02:34] <Dextorion> predaeus: yeah, know..  :) just eager, you know. hehe
[02:34] <rambo3> Dextorion, just fclose the socket
[02:35] <tonyjones56> Hey all. I have a simple, but odd question. I lost the garbage can from the lower right screen... How do I get it back?
[02:35] <thoreauputic> tonyjones56: right click the panel, add it back
[02:35] <fat_hefner> ajehuk: what do i do know
[02:36] <fat_hefner> now
[02:36] <getBeer> my conky is too transparent so id like to set it darker, does any1 know how to do it?
[02:36] <fat_hefner> lo
[02:36] <predaeus> Dextorion, well might be possible to free them maybe ask in ##C if you are programming in C, they might have experience with this. But they are sometimes harsh with answers, but they know their stuff well.
[02:36] <tonyjones56> The panel next to the 4 little screen switcher thing?
[02:36] <tommy1987> anybody know of some software to view music collection by covers (like a physical collection of music) much like you can with some mac software I saw the other day (forget the name)
[02:36] <fat_hefner> getbeer:is that cocky the bar
[02:36] <ajehuk> fat_hefner : OK wery quickly, look at http://pastebin.ca/436283 - that should help - I've really got to go now.
[02:36] <thoreauputic> tonyjones56: yup - the long panel at the bottom
[02:36] <predaeus> Dextorion, maybe they know how to force a close from the cli.
[02:36] <fat_hefner> ok thank u
[02:37] <BVBBQ> predaeus, still no luck.
[02:37] <inside__> jest tu kto?
[02:37] <ajehuk>  NickGarvey - if xxtreme comes ack looking for me can you point him/her at http://pastebin.ca/436276
[02:37] <BVBBQ> predaeus, still complaining about gstreamer
[02:37] <tonyjones56> thoreauputic: there doesn't seem to be an option for that. I get pref, help, translate, etc
[02:37] <Dextorion> predaeus: thats what im looking for yeah :)  Alrighty, i have some options now anyways. Thanks alot. o/
[02:37] <thoreauputic> tonyjones56: the trash applet is in the dialogue that pops up for "add to panel"
[02:37] <fat_hefner> ajehuk: i owe u one
[02:38] <thoreauputic> tonyjones56: click on free space, not the desktops applet
[02:38] <predaeus> BVBBQ, does ls /dev/dsp still say nothing?
[02:38] <BVBBQ> predaeus, nothing
[02:38] <tatters> Anyone run KDE know how to invoke applet to change screen resolution?
[02:38] <thoreauputic> tonyjones56: you might need to do it on the top panel, then choose "move" and drag it to the bottom
[02:38] <predaeus> BVBBQ, probably do the changes recommended in the forums, now that alsa is installed. not sure though what else to try.
[02:38] <tonyjones56> thorauputic: ahhhh, brilliant! got it. thanks so much.
[02:38] <tonyjones56> This channel is indeed very helpful.
[02:38] <tonyjones56> THanks huys
[02:38] <thoreauputic> tonyjones56: no problem :)
[02:40] <xxtreme> Ajehuk_ I queried you, u get it?
[02:40] <getBeer> fat_hefner, yes the conky bar...
[02:40] <BVBBQ> predaeus, what changes from the forum. the ones i already did?
[02:41] <warriorforgod> has anyone here successfully installed NoMachine NX server on 6.10 amd64?
[02:41] <predaeus> BVBBQ, yea check if they got overwritten by the recent install.
[02:42] <thoreauputic> warriorforgod: do they supply amd64 binaries?
[02:42] <BVBBQ> predaeus,  they are still there
[02:42] <warriorforgod> I am not sure.  I just downloaded the tar files
[02:43] <linux4ever> i have proplem with mount how i mount ext3 ?
[02:43] <thoreauputic> warriorforgod: I would check what architecture they are for
[02:43] <fat_hefner> getbeer:i know that
[02:43] <fat_hefner> right click
[02:43] <predaeus> BVBBQ, no idea then sorry. Maybe search the forums some more. Or try again asking here a bit later.
[02:43] <fat_hefner> prefences
[02:43] <thoreauputic> warriorforgod: or look for freenx
[02:43] <SlimeyPete> linux4ever: you should be able to just use "mount" as usual
[02:43] <thoreauputic> !freenx | warriorforgod
[02:43] <ubotu> warriorforgod: FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX
[02:43] <fat_hefner> getbeer:i know that right click preferaces then i will have a pick color and transparancey
[02:43] <angle> im trying to get a lexmark printer to work  can any6 one please help me do what this guide suggests http://pastebin.ca/436295
[02:44] <getBeer> fat_hefner, right click where ? im using fluxbox
[02:44] <thoreauputic> warriorforgod: afaik the freenx server may now ahve problems with NoMachine's version though
[02:44] <thoreauputic> *have
[02:45] <getBeer> fat_hefner, that config might be in the .conkyrc file but i cant figure out wich line to change
[02:47] <Ina> decki
[02:47] <Ina> bok
[02:47] <igcek> imam par pitanja...
[02:49] <tatters> is there any command in terminal I can type which will open up the gnome applet which changes screen resolution? if so what
[02:49] <angle> what dose this mean "emerge --digest -av lexmark-z600"
[02:49] <fatman> hey all, what's the right kernel for pentium M 1,4ghz ?
[02:50] <angle> and where do i type it , http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Lexmark_Printers#Part_One_-_Installing_the_driver
[02:50] <dyrne> fatman: in dapper or edgy?
[02:50] <cableroy> hi, i have problem with burning with k3b, Encountered an incorrectly encoded filename, this may be caused by a system update witch changed the local character set... how do i fix that? i have checked my locales, and i have my native lang and US, using US as default lang
[02:50] <fatman> dyrne: dapper
[02:50] <mikeconcepts> why is it sometime a kernel update required a reboot and sometimes not
[02:51] <orbin> tatters: gnome-display-properties
[02:51] <jon_> this is driving me crazy, eth2 has now disappeared from iwconfig.. >_>
[02:51] <mikeconcepts> today I did a kernel update and did not have to reboot - Feisty
[02:51] <mikeconcepts> why
[02:51] <tatters> orbin: thnx
[02:52] <dyrne> fatman: well you could i guess install any of the 686 kernels.  in edgy we are using a generic kernel that is basically the 386 for everything. so you prob wont notice a diff but i usually install 686 or k7 if im using amd
[02:52] <thoreauputic> mikeconcepts: are you sure it was a kernel update and not modules or headers?
[02:52] <Xteven> hi
[02:52] <fatman> dyrne: so wich one is it, cuz i saw a kernel intel classic too in the packge manager
[02:52] <Xteven> is there an overview of the new features of feisty compared to edgy ?
[02:52] <mikeconcepts> thoreauputic, no, I am not sure
[02:53] <angle> can any one help me setup a lexmark printer ?
[02:53] <bigmoe> i just have a question how can u change how the alt-tab switch in ubuntu?
[02:53] <dyrne> fat just grab a 686 one
[02:53] <thoreauputic> mikeconcepts: there hasn't been a kernel update in feisty for several days at least
[02:53] <fatman> anyone know wiche kernel is for Pentium M 1.4ghz?
[02:53] <__bmgz__> I can't get dvd+r recording higher than about 8 average (should be about 16x) I have dma on but I can't match the performance i get under windows? I have tried just about everything.. using LG 4163B
[02:53] <mikeconcepts> thoreauputic, I need to read more about this somewhere
[02:53] <alduin> Xteven: http://www.ubuntu.com/news/Ubuntu704Beta
[02:53] <thoreauputic> mikeconcepts: unless your updates were behind
[02:53] <Xteven> alduin: thx
[02:53] <ROnewbie> any sound experts around here ? I've been having fun with the audio problems sections for a couple of hours now, to now avail. There's no reason my Intel 82801DB card shouldn't work; all i unmuted, alsa is selected all over, it sees my card, it's loaded, I don't get it.
[02:54] <corbin> hey
[02:54] <ruffe> i'm not able to boot ubuntu 7.04
[02:54] <__bmgz__> im am using growisofs with premage iso images
[02:54] <bigmoe> i just have a question how can u change how the alt-tab switch in ubuntu?
[02:54] <mikeconcepts> thoreauputic, seem to get updates just about every day, so it is more of a need to understand
[02:54] <angle> http://pastebin.ca/436314
[02:54] <corbin> my ubuntu net works
[02:54] <bigmoe> alt-tab animation anyone??
[02:54] <nicko1> Hi. Since VLC mozilla plugin is crap..i have to use Totem :(  how can i clear the history though??
[02:54] <usher_> hey guys, I've had Feisty installed since it was released as Beta and it's been working fine, but here these last two days it's been acting screwy.. almost scary.. similar to winXP behavior... my monitor gets crazy lines going across it like my video card is messing up, but there no reason for it.. each time it happens my PC finally locks up to where I have to turn it off and turn it back on - any ideas?  Feisty related or is my hardware actually dying
[02:54] <mikeconcepts> thoreauputic, is there a way to list the updates I did today?
[02:55] <thoreauputic> mikeconcepts: afaik there has been no kernel update since 2.6.20-14
[02:55] <usher_> NVIDIA video card, btw
[02:55] <predaeus> angle, that howto is for gentoo and will not work with ubuntu.
[02:55] <ruffe> anyone using feisty?
[02:55] <angle> predaeus:thanks
[02:55] <thoreauputic> mikeconcepts: look in the file menu for synaptic - it has a history
[02:55] <angle> predaeus: any way i can get my printer working ?
[02:55] <nicko1> Any1 knows how to clear Totem Player history??
[02:55] <SlimeyPete> ruffe: If you're looking for support, head over to #ubuntu+1 and ask there.
[02:55] <fat_hefner> hey ajehuk told me to do sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper* module-assistant
[02:55] <chili5555> angle, 'emerge' is a Gentoo command we no speak Gentoo
[02:56] <usher_> I took it off of 1024x764 and set it to 800x600 and that seems to have fixed it for the time being... are the video card drivers just incompatible?
[02:56] <fat_hefner> and the module-assistant did work
[02:56] <predaeus> angle, guess so but I don't know for that printer sorry. You can search the ubuntuforums.org
[02:56] <thoreauputic> nicko1: probably places - recent documents in the main menu on the gnome-panel
[02:56] <nicko1> I searched google but can not find anything
[02:56] <zlate> search msn instead
[02:56] <zlate> its better
[02:56] <angle> i have been there http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=49714
[02:56] <usher_> zlate, LOL
[02:56] <fat_hefner> hey ajehuk told me to do sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper* module-assistant and the module-assistant did work
[02:56] <thoreauputic> nicko1: see above
[02:56] <__bmgz__> I can't get dvd+r recording higher than about 8 average (should be about 16x) I have dma on but I can't match the performance i get under windows? I have tried just about everything.. using LG 4163B,  growisofs
[02:56] <fat_hefner> hey ajehuk told me to do sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper* module-assistant and the module-assistant didnt work
[02:57] <angle> but i don't have the option to select the driver i had just installed
[02:57] <thoreauputic> nicko1: the clear c=documents option clears other apps too, just be aware of that
[02:57] <nicko1> thoreauputic: that still wont remove Totem's history :(
[02:57] <predaeus> angle, so you did everything they said in that thread?
[02:57] <angle> yeh
[02:57] <mikeconcepts> thoreauputic, linux-restricted-modules-common (2.6.20.5-14.16) to 2.6.20.5-14.18
[02:58] <angle> the list of printers to choos fom dose not have the x600
[02:58] <mikeconcepts> so I need to understand modules versus kernel
[02:58] <thoreauputic> nicko1: it does here...
[02:58] <Hugo_> hy
[02:58] <thoreauputic> mikeconcepts: yes, those are just modules, not the whole kernel
[02:58] <nicko1> thoreauputic: Place>Recent Doc...>Clear.. does not
[02:58] <angle>  predaeus:the list of printers to choose from dose not have the z600
[02:59] <predaeus> angle, in gnome or on the download site or where?
[02:59] <gabz> mina_linux_Tux: did you get your touch screen sorted ?
[02:59] <thoreauputic> nicko1: I'm on feisty here - I just did it and totem's recnet plays are gone
[02:59] <thoreauputic> *recent
[02:59] <nicko1> thoreauputic: im on edgy
[02:59] <thoreauputic> nicko1: *shrug* I don't know then - what version of Ubuntu are you using?
[02:59] <thoreauputic> ah OK
[03:00] <xxtreme_> ajehuk_ u here
[03:00] <thoreauputic> nicko1: well maybe it's a bug - the list is probably under ~/.gconf somewhere
[03:00] <corbin> hey
[03:00] <corbin> i want to fix my grub
[03:00] <NickGarvey> thoreauputic: it is supposed to clear totem's playlist, not a bug, there is no other way to do it I believe
[03:01] <angle> predaeus:i have downloaded the driver and installed it successfully. but its not on the list on the gnome printer installer. make sense ?
[03:01] <thoreauputic> corbin: that's nice - do you have a question?
[03:01] <corbin> when i get on windows my grub wont let me back on ubuntu or windows
[03:01] <corbin> yes
[03:01] <corbin> i do
[03:01] <nicko1> Is it stable to upgrade to feisty now?
[03:01] <NickGarvey> nicko1: no
[03:01] <thoreauputic> NickGarvey: what I meant was, if it doesn't clear it, maybe it's a bug
[03:01] <NickGarvey> thoreauputic: oh I see, sorry
[03:01] <thoreauputic> :)
[03:02] <NickGarvey> nicko1: thats what a beta is ;)
[03:02] <corbin> and i dont know how to fix my grub is there a way that grub can be loaded
[03:02] <angle> corbin:are you on live cd ?
[03:02] <predaeus> angle, hm no idea sorry. somebody mentioned something like that in that thread.
[03:02] <dyrne> nicko1: honestly though you've about as much chance of success -seamless upgrade- as you will at release. there are always occational problems with upgrading
[03:03] <w3ccv> WIFI-Relay Question:  The /etc/wifi-relay.conf file contains the [SSID]  for each 'network'. Is there a way to have a [UserGeneratedNickname]  for a section with the ssid specified in that section. I've run into a couple networks that use the same *dumb* name of "wireless" and I need to keep them straight.
[03:03] <angle> predaeus:i was it ,but no one reply to him
[03:03] <mikeconcepts> thoreauputic, reason I'm into this area of interest is the need to assure vmware-server and any other programs that are tied to the kernel don't break
[03:04] <angle> replyed*
[03:04] <corbin> no
[03:04] <corbin> i installed it to my hd
[03:04] <predaeus> angle, ah, hm no idea sorry, try asking around here.
[03:04] <angle> corbin:any way you can get to a terminal to fix grub ?
[03:04] <thoreauputic> mikeconcepts: I see. There is often a lag between the new kernels and the vmware modules becoming available, I've noticed
[03:05] <thoreauputic> mikeconcepts: work-around is to use the older kernel unless there are security issues
[03:05] <thoreauputic> not optiml, I grant you
[03:05] <tatters> Fixed my screen resolution problem by running gnome-display-properties in KDE ,iit seems I can have a separate resolution for gnome and KDE
[03:05] <corbin> is there a grub bootable CD that i am run that makes a grub menu pop up
[03:05] <thoreauputic> optimal *
[03:06] <tatters> gnome looks ok at 800x and kde looks best at 640x
[03:06] <thoreauputic> corbin: you can boot the system from the hard drive with the live CD, if that's what you mean
[03:06] <orbin> a kernel update to 2.6.17.1-11.37 has broken my system.  how would i go about fixing this?  i've booted up an older kernel to be able to login
[03:06] <ROnewbie> any sound experts around here ? I've been having fun with the audio problems sections for a couple of hours now, to now avail. There's no reason my Intel 82801DB card shouldn't work; all i unmuted, alsa is selected all over, it sees my card, it's loaded, I don't get it.
[03:07] <angle> corbin:do you have a live cd ? if so boot with it on the system you want to fix grub.
[03:07] <corbin> or like a grub cd
[03:07] <corbin> yes
[03:07] <corbin> when i get on windows on this computer then i get off i cant get on linux or windows
[03:07] <thoreauputic> ROnewbie: I suggest sending a question to the users mailing list - there are sound gurus there ( crimsun is one)
[03:07] <mikeconcepts> thoreauputic, so what does adding vmware-server modules for Linux (kernel 2.6.20) do for me?
[03:08] <thoreauputic> mikeconcepts: enables you to run vmware?
[03:08] <corbin> i also want to be able to get on windows
[03:08] <ROnewbie> thoreauputic: oh, yes, crimsun, heard about him before. 10x
[03:08] <thoreauputic> mikeconcepts: without the modules, vmware player for example won't run
[03:09] <ROnewbie> thoreauputic: sorry, forgot -what's the users' mailing list ?
[03:09] <ROnewbie> !mailing list
[03:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mailing list - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:09] <mikeconcepts> thoreauputic, I see, but I installed something that indicated it protected me for the kernel change issue

[03:10] <corbin> angle: so can i boot grub off the live cd
[03:10] <dyrne> ubotu: well youre no dpkg
[03:10] <thoreauputic> mikeconcepts: in theory yes - but the packagers have to compile the new modules to make them available
[03:11] <mikeconcepts> thoreauputic, and vmware-player modules for Linux (kernel 2.6.20) really only applies to vmplayer, not vmware-server?
[03:11] <thoreauputic> ROnewbie: random bot requests in channel will incur the wrath of the ops :)
[03:12] <orbin> ROnewbie: see the support link in the channel topic.
[03:12] <thoreauputic> mikeconcepts: I don't know - you will need to look on packages.ubuntu.com I guess

[03:14] <thoreauputic> corbin: umm - you can boot your hard drive install from the live CD
[03:14] <andreus> what is the latest kde available for apt-get?
[03:14] <ROnewbie> thoreauputic, kane77: thanks, I now what mail is, i didn't knew where I could find them. Thanks
[03:14] <corbin> well what about windows
[03:14] <orbin> rec: sure.
[03:14] <rec> It's works , no?
[03:14] <rec> Thanks orbin :)
[03:14] <orbin> rec: that'd be a dualboot
[03:14] <ROnewbie> thoreauputic: sorry about the inquiries, I thought they were private

[03:14] <thoreauputic> ROnewbie: uncle Google is your friend, too ;p
[03:14] <ROnewbie> thoreauputic: now I know
[03:15] <corbin> thoreauputic: and u can boot the hd version off the cde
[03:15] <kane77> is there 64-bit wine?
[03:15] <thoreauputic> corbin: what about windows? this is a linux channel
[03:15] <orbin> rec: yes, it works.  it's how i've got mine set up.
[03:15] <rec> Okey:) thanks orbin.
[03:15] <corbin> i know but i like dreamweaver
[03:16] <jash> How do I create a root user?
[03:16] <corbin> thoreauputic: dreamweaver
[03:16] <kane77> !wine
[03:16] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[03:16] <corbin> thoreauputic: and i got some files that i need for work

[03:17] <CheesyJedi> hello
[03:17] <CheesyJedi> I have a question
[03:17] <corbin> thoreauputic: but back to my real question is there a grub that u can boot off a cd
[03:18] <babyhuey> i would imagine, there is a grub that you can do off of a floppy
[03:18] <orbin> thoreauputic: you told mikeconcepts that there has been no kernel update since 2.6.20-14.  is that the latest available kernel for edgy systems?
[03:18] <thoreauputic> corbin: you can make a grub CD or a grub floppy, but that is kind of a bit much to explain on IRC and there is a lot on the web about it, Try googling for "grub floppy"
[03:18] <CheesyJedi> I'm using ubuntu 6.10 on my notebook and the built in audio control works fine for the laptop's speakers, but when I pop in headphones I can't control it (it's stuck on a certain volume)
[03:18] <CheesyJedi> anyone know anything about this?
[03:18] <corbin> ok thank u
[03:18] <kane77> what is a good synchronization utility (eg I have my usb disk and I'm working on one project that I need to sometimes take with me and work on different computer... so what I need is to synchronize a folder on my computer with usb disk's folder (take the newest version))
[03:19] <thoreauputic> orbin:  that's what I have here
[03:19] <thoreauputic> 2.6.20-14-generic
[03:19] <thoreauputic> orbin: fully updated feisty ^^
[03:19] <orbin> thoreauputic: ... take your time in disclosing. ;)
[03:20] <thoreauputic> orbin: ?
[03:20] <orbin> thoreauputic: nvm, i thought you were running edgy
[03:20] <ICEMANno1> hi guys
[03:20] <thoreauputic> orbin: no, I have a dapper / feisty dual boot :)
[03:21] <orbin> thoreauputic: had started typing something edgy relevant, and then you said you were on feisty 5 seconds later. :)
[03:21] <[e] mdma> ppl why i cannot run nvidia gt6600 on 32bit with ubuntu?
[03:21] <thoreauputic> orbin: used to be dapper/ edgy until about herd 4
[03:21] <kane77> [e] mdma, what problems does it have?
[03:22] <ICEMANno1> can anyone help me with a grub problem
[03:22] <[e] mdma> config file says defualt mode is 24 bit
[03:22] <thoreauputic> orbin: ah i see - sorry I missed the edgy part :)
[03:22] <ritcereal> so i compiled my kernel last night, and now every time i boot i get an error: 18 selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by bios on all of the kernels except my recovery deals -- what did I do wrong?
[03:22] <[e] mdma> when i override it with 32 system styuck
[03:22] <habeeb> Time to introduce my cousin to Linux. I'm obviously thinking of Ubuntu as his first distro. Can you give me a howto for dual-booting, gentlemen?
[03:26] <[e] mdma> kane77,
[03:26] <thoreauputic> [e] mdma: 24 is equivalent to 32 - the extra 8 bits are an alpha channel
[03:26] <ICEMANno1> can anyone help me with a grub problem
[03:26] <dyrne> !grub > habeeb
[03:26] <usher_> ICEMANno1: maybe
[03:26] <kane77> !anyone | ICEMANno1
[03:26] <ubotu> ICEMANno1: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[03:26] <thoreauputic> [e] mdma: i.e. 24 on linux is the same as 32 on win
[03:26] <ICEMANno1> :D
[03:26] <ICEMANno1> k
[03:26] <YNWA> Hi can anyone help with manually install Feisty?
[03:26] <dunstabulos_> !dualboot > habeeb
[03:26] <[e] mdma> thoreauputic, then explain me why windows and ubuntu have same resolution and frequency when both show different size of screen ?
[03:26] <thoreauputic> YNWA:  /join #ubuntu+1
[03:26] <habeeb> Thanks, dyrne
[03:26] <usher_> ICEMANno1: I'm not a Linux PRO, but I've had a GRUB Error before
[03:26] <thoreauputic> [e] mdma: I have no idea - I only use linux
[03:26] <ICEMANno1> yesterday the kubuntu packet manager told me there are new packages available
[03:26] <corbin> thoreauputic: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Making-a-GRUB-bootable-CD_002dROM.html
[03:26] <ICEMANno1> I thoght, ok, let's see what he got
[03:26] <thoreauputic> corbin: there you go then :)
[03:26] <ICEMANno1> there where some linux sources
[03:26] <corbin> thoreauputic: but what do they want me to do
[03:26] <[e] mdma> kane77,  u still here mate ?
[03:26] <ICEMANno1> and I updated everything
[03:26] <kane77> [e] mdma, yes
[03:26] <thoreauputic> corbin: follow the instructions?
[03:26] <[e] mdma> kane77, so any ideas ?
[03:26] <ICEMANno1> and now grub tells me he can't boot
[03:26] <ritcereal> so i compiled my kernel last night, and now every time i boot i get an error: 18 selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by bios on all of the kernels except my recovery deals -- any idea's on how to fix this?
[03:26] <habeeb> dunstabulos_: thanks..
[03:26] <CheesyJedi> does anyone know a solution to my problem?
[03:26] <ICEMANno1> because he can't find out the filesystem type
[03:26] <kane77> [e] mdma, still the 24 bits??
[03:26] <ICEMANno1> so, what can i do?
[03:26] <asx> in my router, how can i port forward some ports to all pcs that are connected to it?
[03:26] <habeeb> dunstabulos_: but I highly doubt if my 13 years old cousin will understand the: "Create a swap partition of around 500 MB."
[03:26] <ntfx> can someone please help me out with an ATI related problem in PM?
[03:26] <ICEMANno1> how can I undo the update without booting to my kubuntu
[03:26] <habeeb> Also, when is Feisty coming live?
[03:26] <[e] mdma> kane77, nope i want linux and windows show exact screen size on same resolution and refresh rate
[03:26] <disasm> on ubuntu edgy, I have a machine with 2 gigs of memory, it's idling in gnome, and top shows 50M free mem and 304M used of swap... this doesn't seem right for an idling system

When I try to install it via page installer it tells me there is a new version installed. I see files in /usr/lib and /usr/share ... but thats it.  How can I get wireshark installed or get this so called newer version uninstalled ?
[03:27] <Trist_an> what kind?

[03:28] <thoreauputic> andreus: umm - do you mean /etc/apt/sources.list ? To install kde just type  sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
[03:28] <[e] mdma> ye
[03:28] <Boul2neige> ok happy to know i'm not alone :p
[03:28] <asx> why won't the ubuntu 7 have beryl?
[03:29] <[e] mdma> kane77,  i did it though aenvy
[03:29] <Boul2neige> it's a good thing to speak english for me, that makes me work a little
[03:29] <jhaig> asx: I think it can be enabled but it isn't by default because it is still not stable enough.
[03:29] <Trist_an> Boul2neige, I see
[03:29] <habeeb> Also, let's say that my cousin has an nvidia card, will he have DRI by default?
[03:29] <[e] mdma> Boul2neige,  perhaps you right
[03:29] <ntfx> okay then, I have the usual xserver problem, and then I got past that and managed to install, but then when I startup I get a small green text anyways.. and the boot hangs
[03:29] <Blooder> !list
[03:29] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[03:29] <Boul2neige> Trist_an, my english is not very well ;)
[03:29] <ICEMANno1> I still need help with a ubutnu update
[03:30] <andreus> thoreauputic: done, this should pre-install all required programs as well?
[03:30] <thoreauputic> Blooder: this isn't a warez channel :)
[03:30] <andreus> disasm: what do you mean, pinning?
[03:30] <thoreauputic> andreus: yes
[03:30] <CheesyJedi> hey, I have a problem with ubuntu edgy
[03:30] <CheesyJedi> can someone help me?
[03:30] <Trist_an> Boul2neige, that's a way to improve your english
[03:30] <andreus> thoreauputic: thank you
[03:30] <habeeb> Also, will he have a "Dualboot" option on the partitioner?
[03:30] <Boul2neige> Trist_an, exactly !
[03:31] <CheesyJedi> anybody?
[03:31] <thoreauputic> andreus: kubuntu-desktop is a meta package that all the apps in hubuntu depend on - so you get KDE with kubuntu configurations
[03:31] <kououken> Is there a one-line apt-get command that will grab the ubuntu feisty kernel source?  (this is for nvidia driver compiling)
[03:31] <thoreauputic> umm s/hubuntu/kubuntu
[03:31] <kane77> !any | CheesyJedi
[03:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about any - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:31] <kane77> !anyone | CheesyJedi
[03:31] <ubotu> CheesyJedi: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[03:31] <disasm> andreus: iirc, the apt.conf file is used for pinning packages, if you're pulling from multiple releases (not recommended), unless you're referring to where to dl the packages from, in case I think you mean sources.list
[03:32] <Trist_an> Boul2neige, but you don't join #ubuntu-fr also?
[03:32] <CheesyJedi> I have a problem with the sound control on ubuntu
[03:32] <thoreauputic> kououken: 1) you don't need to compile the nvidia drivers 2) linux-source
[03:32] <Boul2neige> i'm new on this chat
[03:32] <CheesyJedi> it controls the laptop speakers fine
[03:32] <asx> what is the broadcast address for port forwarding?
[03:32] <Boul2neige> i didn't know ubuntu-fr :p
[03:32] <CheesyJedi> but when I pop in headphones I can't control it
[03:32] <thoreauputic> !nvidia | kououken
[03:32] <ubotu> kououken: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:32] <CheesyJedi> it's stuck on a certain volume level
[03:32] <CheesyJedi> any Idea of what I can do?
[03:32] <DaGiz> how do i uninstall a program that isnt showing up in package manager
[03:33] <Daverocks> CheesyJedi: um, try adjusting a different channel?
[03:33] <andreus> disasm: i have downloaded this file apt.conf from one of kde's mirrors. there i've found this so i assumed this is something i might use in conjunction with apt-get to install it directly instead of downloading and compiling manually
[03:33] <CheesyJedi> ?
[03:33] <sandra_> how do i install xfce on my ubuntu ?
[03:33] <thoreauputic> kououken: also, to compile modules you only need linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[03:33] <CheesyJedi> I did, and one of them works
[03:33] <habeeb> Do you get a Dual-Boot option in the partitioner of Feisty, or do you still have to do it "manually"?
[03:34] <blueboy> how can I get airport card to work on the ibook
[03:34] <ritcereal> so i compiled my kernel last night, and now every time i boot i get an error: 18 selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by bios on all of the kernels except my recovery deals -- any idea's on how to fix this?
[03:34] <CheesyJedi> but I want to be able to control it via the keyboard on my laptop
[03:34] <Daverocks> CheesyJedi: like for example the usual "PC speaker" doesn't do anything on this machine, i had to change it to "front"
[03:34] <thoreauputic> sandra_:  sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop
[03:34] <sandra_> ty m8
[03:34] <disasm> andreus: ditch, the file, go into synaptic, and choose kubuntu-desktop
[03:34] <nikin> sandra: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[03:34] <thoreauputic> sandra_: jsut ype that in a terminal
[03:34] <kououken> thoreauputic: does that apply to 8800GTS/GTX as well?
[03:34] <blueboy> NEED HELP how can I get the airport card to work on ibook g4
[03:34] <Daverocks> CheesyJedi: you can configure what the laptop function keys do
[03:34] <sandra_> is runing :)
[03:34] <CheesyJedi> no, they work fine
[03:35] <CheesyJedi> it even shows the volume going up and down
[03:35] <Daverocks> CheesyJedi: they work fine for the channel that doesn't do anything, right?
[03:35] <thoreauputic> kououken: those are high end cards - i don't know - read the wiki ubotu gave you to see what is supported
[03:35] <CheesyJedi> but the volume stays the same
[03:35] <habeeb> btw, kudos to the webdesigners who finally made the download page friendly...
[03:35] <andreus> disasm: already, thanks
[03:35] <Daverocks> CheesyJedi: exactly, but you said _another_ channel _did_ actually change the volume?
[03:35] <CheesyJedi> ya
[03:35] <kououken> thoreauputic: OK, will do. Thanks..  and nice nick btw! :D
[03:36] <thoreauputic> kououken: :)
[03:36] <Daverocks> CheesyJedi: so i interpreted your problem as that the laptop keys adjusted the "wrong" volume channel
[03:36] <CheesyJedi> oh
[03:36] <CheesyJedi> so how do I change it?
[03:36] <Arrick> how do I add kerberos authenticated users to the ssh usergroup?
[03:36] <Daverocks> CheesyJedi: which is why i said you can configure what the laptop keys do :P
[03:36] <kane77> what is a good synchronization utility (eg I have my usb disk and I'm working on one project that I need to sometimes take with me and work on different computer... so what I need is to synchronize a folder on my computer with usb disk's folder (take the newest version)) I tried unison but it doesnt work I guess...
[03:36] <ICEMANno1> did someone of you guys the security update from yesterday?
[03:36] <JosefK> kane77, rsync?
[03:36] <CheesyJedi> ok, how?
[03:36] <whaleofconfusion> volume is for old ladies
[03:37] <Daverocks> CheesyJedi: you could use xmodmap, i'm not familiar with gnome (which i assume you're using) so i don't know how gnome manages that
[03:37] <andreus> disasm: btw, could you please tell me. i've installed sshd server, reading manual didn't help much. is there an easier way to start daemon .. without specifying all arguments. most of which i'm unaware of
[03:37] <Daverocks> CheesyJedi: because you'd need to disable or configure gnome's thing
[03:37] <kane77> JosefK, can I set that to synchronize when I plug in the usb stick?
[03:37] <thoreauputic> andreus:  sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart
[03:37] <JosefK> kane77, rsync -rav /source/path /dest/path
[03:37] <disasm> andreus: it should auto start when you install it
[03:37] <morpheus74> How do I play an mp3 podcast in Rhythmbox?  The description states it plays mp3.
[03:37] <disasm> andreus: try ssh localhost
[03:37] <JosefK> kane77, I don't think so, but you could make a shortcut to it on your desktop
[03:37] <thoreauputic> andreus: i assume you installed openshh-server from the repos
[03:37] <CheesyJedi> i have no idea where to get started on what your telling me
[03:37] <disasm> andreus: if it doesn't, /etc/init.d/ssh start
[03:37] <andreus> thoreauputic, disasm: alright, thanks
[03:37] <thoreauputic> openssh-server I mean
[03:37] <Daverocks> CheesyJedi: yeah sure, um..
[03:38] <corbin> thank u
[03:38] <thoreauputic> andreus: the ubuntu install of ssh starts the daemon by default btw
[03:38] <andreus> thoreauputic, disasm: already started. great
[03:38] <JebJoya> Hey all, bit of a rubbish one I'm afraid - yet another wireless issue for me (I think I've been unlucky, 3 different PCs, 3 different chipsets, 3 different issues).  Anyway, I have a Linksys wireless card (PCI) with a Broadcom chipset (BCM4303 802.11b Wireless Lan).  I probably need to use NDISwrapper, but having had issues with my gf's computer could someone walk me through it?  Also, Wireless Card is listed in System>Network. Any Ideas?
[03:38] <thoreauputic> right
[03:38] <andreus> thoreauputic: corresponding to all apps i install?
[03:39] <andreus> thoreauputic: daemon-wise
[03:39] <JebJoya> I've been googling around but not found anything quite right
[03:39] <thoreauputic> !bcm43xx | JebJoya
[03:39] <ubotu> JebJoya: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx
[03:39] <matason> Hi can anyone recommend an app to help me keep track of time spent on projects? Like a list of timers on the desktop that I can start and stop etc...
[03:39] <Daverocks> CheesyJedi: looking around on the net, i've come across "System -> Preferences -> Keyboard shortcuts" ... can you set it there?
[03:39] <thoreauputic> andreus: I don't understand the question
[03:39] <JebJoya> thoreauputic - thanks, i'll have a look
[03:40] <CheesyJedi> hold on
[03:40] <andreus> thoreauputic: if i also install httpd, it will auto-start upon completion?
[03:40] <CheesyJedi> I went into the preferences and told it to control PCM (which is what works)
[03:40] <senorJ> HELP! - had this problem the last few days when playing music through Amarok (with gnome desktop). After a while another mp3 on my system starts playing in the background but not through Amarok??? Can't figure out what it's playing through? it's happened 3 times now and is always the same file that plays... any ideas anyone ??
[03:40] <thoreauputic> andreus: you would normally install apache2, and I think it will start, yes
[03:41] <CheesyJedi> so now I can control the headphone volume from the little volume button on my pannel, but not from the keyboard
[03:41] <thoreauputic> andreus: of course it will need configuration though
[03:41] <matason> senorJ: Did you try ps -ef to see what was running?
[03:41] <CheesyJedi> is there a way to associate the keyboard buttons with the little audio thing on my panel?
[03:41] <Daverocks> CheesyJedi: you told it to have the keyboard control PCM?
[03:41] <nikin> senor: didnt you pint your sursor on an mp3 ikon?
[03:41] <ShredderLM> Could someone tell me if it will be possible to upgrade a system from the current Ubuntu beta version (7.04) to the final version without re-installing the whole system?
[03:41] <albert> hi, can anybody tell me how i can ripp my audio-cds to ogg (or even mp3)
[03:42] <Daverocks> albert: grip
[03:42] <CheesyJedi> daverocks: no, the little audio icon on the panel controls PCM now
[03:42] <CheesyJedi> daverocksL I want to get the keyboard to control PCM
[03:42] <Daverocks> CheesyJedi: ok, but that couldn't have been in "keyboard shortcuts"
[03:42] <dave__> hello i was asking for help yesterday
[03:42] <thoreauputic> andreus: in general, starting and stopping daemons is done with either /etc/init.d/<daemon-name> start|stop|restart or invoke-rc.d which is the same thing really
[03:42] <nikin> if yyour cursor is on an mp3 icon nazutikus autmatically plays it... for preview
[03:42] <albert> Daverocks, the program is called grip?
[03:42] <Daverocks> CheesyJedi: i understand, you changed the master channel in gnome mixer, but didn't change what the keyboard did
[03:42] <Daverocks> albert: yep
[03:42] <senorJ> nikin: No, don't think i did. (actually it's a wav that starts playing from nowhere, not sure if that makes a difference?)
[03:42] <dave__> i need somemore help
[03:42] <CheesyJedi> yes
[03:42] <albert> Daverocks, ok, thx
[03:43] <CheesyJedi> I'm in keyboard shortcuts now
[03:43] <CheesyJedi> so what do I change here?
[03:43] <Daverocks> albert: there's also gnome sound juicer, which may be easier to use
[03:43] <nikin> senor: any gaim? amsn? other messages?
[03:43] <Daverocks> CheesyJedi: hang on, let me vnc into my ubuntu box :P
[03:43] <dave__> do you know of anyother program that runs like wine
[03:43] <albert> Daverocks, i'm on xubuntu
[03:43] <andreus> thoreauputic: that's what i needed to know. last question i guess. i am new to linux and perhaps you could recommend me some file manager. something like midnight commander (which i cannot find).?
[03:43] <Daverocks> albert: oh, well then grip :P
[03:43] <albert> Daverocks, ty ;)
[03:43] <thoreauputic> andreus:  apt-cache show mc  :)
[03:43] <CheesyJedi> like, it has volume control in keyboard shortcuts, but I can't tell it what to control
[03:44] <senorJ> nikin: nope?
[03:44] <thoreauputic> andreus: there are heaps of others of course
[03:44] <THEoracle> hello all
[03:44] <JebJoya> thoreauputic - one other thing, I am currently running up in WinXP and since I don't have internet I'm not going to be able to get hold of the fwcutter - any suggestions on what i'd need to get in windows to be able to copy it across and install?
[03:44] <TheInfinity> one little question ... did you ever heard from an bug with vncserver - i set it to the right font path in vnc.conf and it just ignores it?
[03:44] <thoreauputic> JebJoya: yes, use cafuego's debs of the firmware
[03:44] <Daverocks> CheesyJedi: yeah i see, just says "volume down" and "volume up"
[03:44] <thoreauputic> JebJoya: hang on a second
[03:45] <andreus> thoreauputic: ah, cache :) and i was wondering that why there is nothing to search with :p
[03:45] <Daverocks> CheesyJedi: ah, so you thought that if you changed the master channel to PCM, then volume up and volume down would do that
[03:45] <dave__> any help
[03:45] <str> Hi there...
[03:45] <thoreauputic> JebJoya: http://ubuntu.cafuego.net/dists/edgy-cafuego/bcm43xx/
[03:45] <CheesyJedi> ya
[03:46] <CheesyJedi> guess I was wrong
[03:46] <albert> Daverocks, rip works well, thank you
[03:46] <CheesyJedi> so...any idea how I'd do that?
[03:46] <thoreauputic> JebJoya: you can just install the firmware deb
[03:46] <Daverocks> albert: np
[03:46] <str> In aptitude, how can I know wich repository does a package come form?
[03:46] <Okidan> hi all
[03:46] <thoreauputic> andreus:  sudo aptitude install apt-howto && apt-howto
[03:46] <acalvo> hi!
[03:46] <thoreauputic> :)
[03:46] <JebJoya> thoreauputic - okay, just downloading it now from http://ubuntu.cafuego.net/dists/edgy-cafuego/bcm43xx/
[03:46] <andreus> thoreauputic: hehe.. once i go to another computer now and log into server through ssh. how do i recover my windows in console?
[03:46] <andreus> thoreauputic: roger
[03:47] <Daverocks> CheesyJedi: not sure because i don't know what gnome does when it says "volume up" and "volume down"
[03:47] <dave__> i can get wine to run on my system
[03:47] <thoreauputic> JebJoya: I use that with a bcm 4306 on my iBook
[03:47] <albert> switching from windows gives you sometimes hard times, but after a while you get very often excited about how easy it can be...
[03:47] <CheesyJedi> ok, thanks anyways
[03:47] <CheesyJedi> I have to brb
[03:47] <thoreauputic> andreus: google "GNU screen" :)
[03:47] <JebJoya> thoreauputic - thanks for all that, is that all i'm going to need to install it do you reckon?
[03:47] <acalvo> I'm having a hard time with vmware-player and a madwifi wireless card. Is there any way to force to uninstall the package? It keeps crashing while installing/uninstalling and can't continue with other packages.
[03:47] <Daverocks> CheesyJedi: k
[03:47] <JebJoya> thoreauputic (you're really popular today :P)
[03:47] <thoreauputic> JebJoya: assuming your card is supported
[03:47] <dave__> albert my i have a word
[03:47] <JebJoya> fingers crossed then
[03:47] <andreus> thoreauputic: alright. a lot of thanks. that's all i suppose.
[03:47] <JebJoya> :)
[03:47] <thoreauputic> JebJoya: hang on a sec
[03:47] <JebJoya> yep
[03:48] <albert> Dave__: pardon me?
[03:48] <dave__> could you help me
[03:48] <albert> can't tell
[03:48] <albert> ah, no experience at all with wine
[03:48] <JebJoya> thoreauputic - my chipset seems to be listed here http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/?go=devices
[03:48] <ShredderLM> could someone help me with my question?
[03:48] <thoreauputic> JebJoya: http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/?go=devices  <-- supported devices
[03:48] <dave__> welll i have some but none with this
[03:49] <thoreauputic> JebJoya: ah you are ahead of me :)
[03:49] <JebJoya> thoreauputic :) heh
[03:49] <thoreauputic> JebJoya: ;-))

[03:53] <dave__> do you know anything about wine
[03:53] <CheesyJedi> not really
[03:53] <CheesyJedi> (I'm a newcomer to linux)

[03:55] <VictorBR> i just installed ubuntu, whats the roots default pass?
[03:55] <vox754> !root
[03:55] <atoponce> !sudo | VictorBR
[03:55] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[03:55] <ubotu> VictorBR: please see above
[03:55] <thoreauputic> !root | VictorBR
[03:55] <VictorBR> thanxs
[03:55] <fugore> VictorBR: sudo passwd root
[03:56] <Mikey> hello guys, im havving a difficulty finding alt CD on the web site, can anyone help? (im looking for the command line only install, as in no X)
[03:56] <ICEMANno1> fugore: but what should I change there?
[03:56] <thoreauputic> fugore: not necessary
[03:56] <VictorBR> i konow the sudo thing, but i needed the root pass
[03:56] <thoreauputic> VictorBR: there isn't one by default
[03:56] <BooGer_xXx_330> does anyone have a C-media sound card working in edgy?? I need help
[03:56] <atoponce> VictorBR: there is no root pass. it's disabled in ubuntu
[03:56] <thoreauputic> VictorBR: you can make on easily, but it is not needed
[03:56] <Arrick> how do I add kerberos authenticated users to the ssh usergroup?
[03:56] <atoponce> VictorBR: using sudo is all you need for admin privs
[03:57] <siennalizard> thoreauputic: it is occasionally needed
[03:57] <thoreauputic> VictorBR: for a root shell, type sudo -i
[03:57] <thoreauputic> siennalizard: no, it isn't
[03:57] <siennalizard> thoreauputic: you need a root password is you need to use su for any reason
[03:57] <thoreauputic> siennalizard: you can do anything as root by using sudo -i
[03:57] <atoponce> siennalizard: you don't *need* su
[03:57] <atoponce> siennalizard: you *want* su
[03:57] <thoreauputic> siennalizard: and su doesn't mean super user, it mewans switch user
[03:58] <elementz> guys i need to recompile my kernel with a 16k stack - never done that before? maybe somebody happens to know a walkthrough?
[03:58] <atoponce> thoreauputic: you're one of the very few who understand that
[03:58] <Mikey> but sudo means super user do
[03:58] <atoponce> :)
[03:58] <thoreauputic> siennalizard: anyone who knows another user's pass can su to that user's identity
[03:58] <atoponce> Mikey: nope. switch user and do
[03:58] <Mikey> switch to root? :S
[03:58] <Mikey> doesnt make sense?
[03:58] <Vilhelms> How can I get rid of that kernel upgrade Ubuntu released yesterday? It has my system going crazy :(
[03:58] <atoponce> Mikey: you can switch as other users on the system, not just root
[03:58] <ICEMANno1> fugore: I'll reboot and test something, thx for yoor help
[03:59] <Mikey> so with sudo you can exec as somone else?
[03:59] <siennalizard> thoreauputic: I stand corrected. I should read the man page...
[03:59] <atoponce> Mikey: su and sudo by default use root. you can uso *any* other user on the system
[03:59] <thoreauputic> Vilhelms: boot the previos kernel
[03:59] <Mikey> hmm, i must man sudo
[03:59] <atoponce> Mikey: yes
[03:59] <thoreauputic> siennalizard: :) no worries - I just like to clear up that common confusion :)
[03:59] <atoponce> s/uso/use/
[03:59] <Mikey> but anyways, im getting sidetracked here, back to my question
[03:59] <Mikey> hello guys, im havving a difficulty finding alt CD on the web site, can anyone help? (im looking for the command line only install, as in no X)
[03:59] <Vilhelms> thoreauputic, I know that much, but every other boot or so (not always the same) my keyboard and mouse don't work... or sometimes it doesn't detect my ethernet card, and it just boots with some hardware not working right. Oh and it crashes a lot when I live it idle...
[03:59] <atoponce> Mikey: you want the server cd
[04:00] <thoreauputic> Vilhelms: bug report time then
[04:00] <thoreauputic> !bugs
[04:00] <BooGer_xXx_330> c-media sound card anyone?
[04:00] <ubotu> 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
[04:00] <Vilhelms> thoreauputic, Alright, thanks
[04:00] <thoreauputic> hmm ubotu is slow today...
[04:00] <siennalizard> BooGer_xXx_330: I've had Dapper, Edgy and Feisty all working with my C-Media card.
[04:01] <asda> hello, im upgrading the sshd service, im configuring well so far but when i hit make, it goes down with this error : sshconnect2.c:1:1: error: unterminated comment
[04:01] <asda> make: *** [sshconnect2.o]  Error 1
[04:01] <siennalizard> BooGer_xXx_330: You must have a very new one, or something.
[04:01] <BooGer_xXx_330> is it onboard?
[04:01] <siennalizard> BooGer_xXx_330: it worked just fine from the install
[04:01] <YNWA> Hi does anyone know where to change the brightness of a laptop monitor?
[04:01] <siennalizard> BooGer_xXx_330: yes, onboard. I've since put a EMU card in, though.
[04:02] <atoponce> YNWA: it's done with a function key and an f key combo, most likely
[04:02] <atoponce> YNWA: like f1 or f2
[04:02] <BooGer_xXx_330> it sees it but won;t use it?
[04:02] <YNWA> I know but the fn key don't work
[04:02] <orbin> atoponce: isn't that a barebones install?
[04:02] <siennalizard> BooGer_xXx_330: are you sure it isn't just the volume turned right down? try using alsamixer to check the volume levels
[04:02] <dyrne> YNWA: an alternative is to use xgamma command   xgamma 4  or whatever
[04:02] <siennalizard> BooGer_xXx_330: does it appear in the mixer?
[04:02] <BooGer_xXx_330> that is set fine.
[04:02] <joeljkp> how do you print a pdf in "banner-mode", so it extends over 2 or 3 sheets of paper?
[04:02] <atoponce> orbin: it's just the server install. no X is what he wants, that's the right solution
[04:03] <YNWA> dryne: xgamma?
[04:03] <thoreauputic> YNWA: it's a command
[04:03] <BooGer_xXx_330> yeah it shows up.
[04:04] <utaaaaaaaa> waa
[04:04] <utaaaaaaaa> hola mijos
[04:04] <thoreauputic> YNWA: the xgamma manual page is pretty easy to follow - try typing  man xgamma
[04:04] <orbin> atoponce: i thought he was asking for the cd with the old text-based installer, i.e. not the liveCD desktop install

[04:05] <uFo-Z> i have subversion running with apache. but i want to disable random access for my repository. anybody an idea ?
[04:05] <dave__> my data sever just died ill be back for more help later
[04:05] <atoponce> Mikey: what exactly are you looking for? installing ubuntu server with no X, or using a live cd with no X?
[04:05] <YNWA> ah thanks
[04:05] <jscinoz> Does anyone know how to change which media player is controlled by keyboard shortcuts?
[04:06] <Mikey> atoponce: im looking for a command line system to run on a VM to suppliment my windoze :)
[04:06] <Mikey> and for learning of course
[04:06] <elementz> guys is there a way to obtain a 16k stack kernel patch somewhere?
[04:06] <atoponce> Mikey: ok. so you want an install with no X? then the server cd is what you want
[04:06] <drewzf> Mikey: Cygwin
[04:07] <Mikey> oh no, cygwin is a pile of...
[04:07] <drewzf> No need for VM
[04:07] <drewzf> Lol?
[04:07] <drewzf> How so?
[04:07] <atoponce> drewzf: cygwin is just a bash shell for windows. if you want to learn linux, that's not the way to go
[04:07] <drewzf> Coming from the windoze user
[04:07] <Mikey> crashes, freezes, i can go on
[04:07] <drewzf> atoponce: But neither is VM
[04:07] <jscinoz> Guys, i got all my multimedia keys working, however by default they control RhythmBox, how can i change it so they control a different player
[04:08] <jscinoz> anyone at all?
[04:08] <Shenky> I find my wired network card change to wireless card after I update..... But it's wired. It can't go on internet anymore.......Does anyone know how to slove it?....><
[04:08] <atoponce> drewzf: sure. a vm is just fine. why not? it allows you to learn an entire os, without partitioning or dual booting
[04:08] <beni> is there any manual how to set up a proxy for all apps?
[04:08] <thoreauputic> !patience | jscinoz
[04:08] <ubotu> jscinoz: The people here are volunteers, your attitude may determine how fast you are helped.  Not everyone is available all the time, likewise not every answer is available instantly. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[04:08] <Mikey> i have no choice, i want a cli but i still need windows....
[04:08] <drewzf> atoponce: And cygwin does what?
[04:08] <drewzf> The entire system is powered by bash or sh
[04:08] <drewzf> And Cygwin supports both
[04:08] <jscinoz> Alright.. its just i've been asking this all day..
[04:08] <Mikey> brb im in school
[04:08] <drewzf> Screw partitioning or dual booting
[04:08] <jscinoz> and digging through the forums...
[04:08] <drewzf> Delete your windows partition and install wine
[04:08] <atoponce> drewzf: but it's *just* bash. no devices. no filesystem. no nothing. just a bash shell
[04:09] <drewzf> Ubuntu <3
[04:09] <BooGer_xXx_330> siennalizard you still here?
[04:09] <drewzf> atoponce: There are ext3 libs for Windows
[04:09] <jscinoz> Goodnight everyone. talk tomorrow
[04:09] <thoreauputic> jscinoz: not really an answer I suppose, but if you use fluxbox you can customise all your keyboard shortcuts to your heart's content :)
[04:09] <dave__> mikey are you a student
[04:09] <drewzf> And I think cygwin has device libs too
[04:09] <drewzf> But I'm probably incorrect
[04:10] <dave__> drewzf my i have a word
[04:10] <drewzf> I'd just delete win
[04:14] <Mikey> yes dave, im a student :)
[04:14] <drewzf> dave__: Absolutely
[04:14] <thoreauputic> guys, i think both windows and cygwin are off-topic here
[04:14] <atoponce> drewzf: a vm is a perfect solution. certainly better than cygwin
[04:14] <dave__> do you know anything aboyt wine
[04:14] <dave__> mikey i am i student also
[04:14] <drewzf> dave__: I know a bit
[04:14] <atoponce> thoreauputic: good point. thx
[04:14] <drewzf> dave__: I use it regularly
[04:14] <atoponce> Mikey: server edition: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
[04:14] <dave__> ok drewzf i am trying to get wine to run my windows webcams software but it wont anyideas
[04:14] <drewzf> dave__: Any error output?
[04:14] <Mikey> atoponce, yea i allready dled it, thx
[04:14] <kootaphor> Does anybody know how to make funky terminal characters (eg, the lines in "pstree" and Midnight Commander) come up right in a Windows terminal? Can I change settings on PuTTY, or should I try a different client? Am forced to use XP at work.
[04:14] <dave__> no it install and the and the nothing else happen my webcams dont work and i ned the for my senior project
[04:14] <valehru> Hey guys, from /var/www/ I am unable to rename or edit files or folders...what gives?
[04:14] <dave__> i used automatix
[04:14] <dave__> any ideas drewzf
[04:14] <atoponce> Mikey: np
[04:14] <thoreauputic> !automatix
[04:14] <drewzf> dave__: Make sure you're executing your .exe through wine (wine path/to/program.exe), make sure you have the windows true type fonts installed...
[04:14] <dyrne> kootaphor: if you type bash then try you have same problem?
[04:14] <siennalizard> valehru: you don't have permissions. I don't know what the others think, but I like to make my web folders writable for my user
[04:14] <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
[04:14] <kootaphor> dyrne --Not sure I understand what you mean?
[04:14] <Mikey> atoponce: im gonna install it in qemu right now
[04:14] <MajorPayne> I just installed something called mail-notification, how do I have it start up when ever I log into Gnome?
[04:14] <siennalizard> MajorPayne: put it in your sessions
[04:14] <atoponce> Mikey: sweet. good luck. :)
[04:15] <drewzf> dave__: I'd also try to locate a wine error log and double check there, and maybe compile the newest wine release from cvs
[04:15] <siennalizard> MajorPayne: click System>Preferences>Sessions
[04:15] <dave__> drew i shall try that now
[04:15] <siennalizard> MajorPayne: you can add it there.
[04:15] <dave__> drew i shall try that now
[04:15] <MajorPayne> siennalizard: Thankyou.
[04:15] <atoponce> valehru: either use sudo for admin access, or chmod and chown the /var/www/ dir
[04:15] <dave__> hold on
[04:15] <valehru> atoponce, I did  sudo -R valehru /var/www/ and that didnt seem to work
[04:16] <dyrne> kootaphor: ive not had that problem in putty. only time ive run into issues like that is when my default  shell is something else
[04:16] <nikin> what is the best way to sincronize my files between my PC and Laptop? its not much , just 1 directory.... but if i ame online i need a sync each 10-30 minutes
[04:16] <siennalizard> valehru: I would recommend the second approach. switch to /var/www and try this: chown -R username:users *
[04:16] <atoponce> valehru: of course it didn't. you didn't specify what you want sudo to do
[04:16] <jatt> !rsync
[04:16] <Mikey> atoponce: is server installs as cli by default? becasue i remember from dapper alt cd, you pick cli only
[04:17] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about rsync - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:17] <Wenx> What is the command for ubunturd to compile files
[04:17] <valehru> atoponce, I meant to say sudo chown -R valehru /var/www/
[04:17] <atoponce> valehru: try this: 'sudo chmod -r 766 /var/www/'
[04:17] <atoponce> valehru: you need to chmod it too
[04:17] <jatt> Wenx: java compiles files
[04:17] <_pinky_> hello world
[04:17] <jatt> javac
[04:17] <nikin> rsync is not a bit to much for this task
[04:17] <nikin> ?
[04:17] <kootaphor> dyrne - the colors are fine..but lines come up as a's with little tilde's or something on them..hmm.
[04:17] <nikin> i have read some tutorials... and it seems a bit hard for me
[04:17] <_Neil> launchpad down?
[04:18] <atoponce> Mikey: server only installs cli. no X at all. if you want X, you'll need to 'sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop'
[04:18] <_Neil> is Launchpad down for anyone else?
[04:18] <Pici> _Neil: I cant connect at the moment either.
[04:18] <valehru> atoponce, that seemed to do the trick... 766 =?
[04:18] <Pici> _Neil: Actually... it just seems really really slow
[04:18] <Mikey> atoponce, no i dont want x, thats the whole point haha
[04:18] <Schalken> is anyone else having trouble accessing bugs.ubuntu.com?
[04:18] <Mikey> x is too slow in emulation
[04:18] <_Neil> pici: yeah.. ah well at least it snot just me, thanks
[04:19] <atoponce> valehru: 766 means owner has read/write/execute, group has read/write and and everyone has read/write
[04:19] <valehru> atoponce, ahh ok.
[04:19] <valehru> atoponce, thx
[04:19] <atoponce> valehru: np
[04:20] <dave__> drew where would i locate my web cam in ubuntu 6.10
[04:20] <elementz> guys - how do i apply foo.patch files to my kernel?
[04:21] <Schalken> elementz: thats a complicated task for a package maintainer
[04:21] <ubuntuEdgy> can any one help me with a lexmark printer i have tryed every guide on the Internet
[04:21] <_Neil> Pici: They are aware and trying to figure it out, just asked :)
[04:22] <elementz> Schalken, hmm so should i rather just recompile? i need 16k kernel stack for ndiswrapper
[04:22] <ToXedVirus> hm, the foo.patch patches the source code
[04:23] <Schalken> elementz: there should be a page in the wiki about ndiswrapper, unless that, too, involves patching your kernel
[04:23] <elementz> Schalken, there's a patch file from linuxant - but i really can't figure out how to apply it really
[04:23] <ToXedVirus> one or another way, you have to recompile it
[04:23] <dave__> elementz my i have a wod
[04:23] <dave__> word
[04:23] <Schalken> elementz: best follow the wiki, its specifically made for ubuntu.
[04:23] <_Neil> How do we traceroute in ubuntu?
[04:23] <elementz> dave__ shure
[04:23] <_Neil> Does seem to be installed
[04:23] <Artemis3> _Neil, tracepath
[04:23] <_Neil> thanks
[04:23] <dave__> do  you know anything about wine
[04:23] <elementz> Schalken, thx - but it does not really explain how to apply patches though
[04:23] <drewzf> dave__: Did you try what I suggested?
[04:24] <Schalken> elementz: no i mean you shouldnt need to apply a patch to get ndiswrapper going.
[04:24] <dave__> drew i have some wat of a break through
[04:24] <Schalken> elementz: just do what the wiki says.
[04:24] <drewzf> dave__: Where are you now? What's the new issue?
[04:24] <nikin> isnt ther e a compiled for the use with ndiswrapeR?
[04:25] <elementz> Schalken, ndiswrapper is not the problem really - but the windows driver needs a 16k kernel stack otherwise it freezes after some time online
[04:25] <dave__> drew i put wine in my applications menu and i found the icatch web software but its only the install
[04:25] <Schalken> elementz:ah so this is a problem specific to your driver, and you ahev already followed the wiki on ndiswrapper?
[04:25] <dave__> drew i mean the uninstall
[04:26] <drewzf> dave__: From a terminal type the following: wine /path/to/install.exe
[04:26] <drewzf> oh
[04:26] <dave__> yea
[04:26] <[GuS] > Hello!
[04:26] <drewzf> dave__: And you say you ran wine's install already?
[04:26] <pakart> Hello
[04:26] <dave__> yes
[04:26] <drewzf> err, the icatch install*
[04:26] <dave__> yes
[04:26] <elementz> Schalken, yep - ndiswrapper is cool - it's just that i need 16k kernel stacks to run it properly
[04:27] <drewzf> Open your wine file browser and look through the virtual windows directory
[04:27] <drewzf> you should be able to find the executable there
[04:27] <pakart> hai
[04:27] <dave__> okay hold
[04:27] <Schalken> elementz: okay, err, anything in the wiki about that? lol
[04:27] <craigbass1976> I'm trying to make a desktop icon (gnome with ubuntu 6.10) that runs a shell script, and while I can do that, I want a terminal to pop open while it's running to see the script's progress.  How do I do that?
[04:27] <mweichert> hi guys, I'm trying to preseed an install that has no network connection at the time of install. How do I tell d-i not to install components from a mirror? I keep getting the error "Bad archive mirror" as naturally, the computer cannot connect to the internet without a network connection
[04:28] <dave__> ill be back in a seond
[04:28] <pakart> How to burn cd with ubuntu
[04:28] <craigbass1976> pakart, gnomebaker
[04:29] <craigbass1976> pakart, You can also install k3b without having to install all of KDE.
[04:29] <ToXedVirus> gnomebaker roolez
[04:29] <ToXedVirus> :D
[04:30] <pakart> tq.. know I want burn like nero from Cdrom to cdr
[04:30] <drewzf> meh I like k3b better
[04:30] <drewzf> gnome > kde, k3b < gnomebaker
[04:30] <osio> Hello everyone
[04:30] <elementz> Schalken, lol not really
[04:30] <Andeh> Hello
[04:30] <craigbass1976> drewzf, I always did too, and I think it's because I got used to it in Fedora
[04:30] <Schalken> elementz: okay :P
[04:30] <osio> has someone installed interbase 7 on ubuntu successfully?
[04:31] <drewzf> craigbass1976: lol same, <3d Fedora until I found Ubuntu
[04:31] <craigbass1976> drewzf, how long since you switched?  HAving trouble with anyhting?
[04:31] <adam__> hello, just a quick question, does anyone know if the gnome calculalor can do inverse trig functions
[04:31] <drewzf> craigbass1976: About 2 years, and no. I love Ubuntu to DEATH
[04:32] <craigbass1976> drewzf, oh, wow.  I've only been totally Ubuntu for less than a month.
[04:32] <drewzf> Simply for it's community and constant forward momentum.
[04:32] <craigbass1976> longer life cycle is what did it for me
[04:32] <Bobbon> hi. i have a problem when i try to update  ubuntu 6.10  it only reach 37%  then it stops.  and it says. Temporary failure resolving "security.ubuntu.com
[04:32] <craigbass1976> and newer stuff than CENT
[04:32] <drewzf> craigbass1976: I'm not a linux fan boy, I've been doing linux for a while. But I am certainly an Ubuntu fanboy.
[04:32] <drewzf> fanman I suppose
[04:32] <guillem101> pakart, k3b is a must. Plain Nautilus is OK for certain tasks. Gnomebaker would do in most of cases.
[04:33] <craigbass1976> I'm trying to make a desktop icon (gnome with ubuntu 6.10) that runs a shell script, and while I can do that, I want a terminal to pop open while it's running to see the script's progress.  How do I do that?
[04:33] <Artemis3> something tells me the net is not good today...
[04:33] <wishmaster> Bobbon try again later...
[04:33] <Lukian> I'm running ma linux off a live-cd because feisty updates decided to kill my nvidia / xorg.
[04:33] <elementz> guys how would i apply this patch to my kernel? http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/wlan/full/archive/linux-2.6.20-16kstacks.patch
[04:33] <drewzf> craigbass1976: You can shell script, perl, python, PHP-GTK, there's many methods
[04:34] <dyrne> Lukian: vesa isnt working?
[04:34] <Bobbon> Wishmaster a have try  sens yesterday
[04:34] <tommus> help needed, i installed windows xp on a partition and after fixing the grub so that it loads as default bootloader i am in a bit a problematic situation. My XP is on sda3 and I need a entry to put into the menu.lst so that when i choose Windows Xp to Load, it will load. Help me out, I know its easy but i cannot find anything that works.
[04:34] <Lukian> dyrne: vesa + dual monitors ?
[04:34] <disasm> craigbass1976: I tend to use aterm terminal, so it's a little different, but a icon that opens aterm -e /path/to/script does it for me
[04:35] <dave__> drew you there
[04:35] <adam__> does anyone know if the gnome calculalor can do inverse trig functions
[04:35] <drewzf> dave__: Yes I am
[04:36] <dave__> i have good news but i feal dumd
[04:36] <dave__> in the terminal i typed wine winecfg and i ot the webcams to apper
[04:36] <dave__> i feal like a fool
[04:37] <drewzf> dave__: Why's that?
[04:37] <orbin> adam__: looks like it
[04:37] <Mikey> the partitioner on ubuntu server is harder to use :(
[04:37] <guillem101> adam__, yes : see the "inv" toggle at the top-left region
[04:37] <dave__> because u have been trying to get it to work for 2 days
[04:37] <drewzf> dave__: Linux isn't easy business for newcomers. I've asked all the questions you're asking and more.
[04:37] <Mikey> does anyone know minimum space server requires?
[04:37] <tommus> How do i add windows to my grub? Windows is on Sda3.
[04:37] <dave__> yea true
[04:38] <craigbass1976> drewzf, I already have the bash script written, and clicking the icon runs it.  I just want to see things go by.
[04:38] <drewzf> dave__: 90% of the time it's just that you need to know WHERE, not WHAT. It's okay. You're on the right track being in here asking questions.
[04:38] <adam__> oooooooh thanks guys, i thought that might do it, but when the buttons didnt change i wanted to check
[04:38] <dave__> thankx man
[04:38] <drewzf> No problem.
[04:38] <dave__> see i use windows linux mac
[04:38] <drewzf> Same.
[04:38] <drewzf> Not a mac fan
[04:38] <drewzf> I hate windows
[04:38] <tommus> How do i add windows to my grub? Windows is on Sda3.
[04:39] <dave__> so i have exp in alot of feld but linux is not very strong right now
[04:39] <drewzf> But I like to be as cross platform as the apps I develop ;)
[04:39] <dave__> i a bigg gammer im a tester for epic games
[04:39] <dave__> on the side
[04:39] <drewzf> tommus: Find the windows partitions phyical location and add it to your grub configuration
[04:39] <craigbass1976> disasm, aterm isn't working.  Is that a program I need to install?  WHat hapened to a "run in terminal" option when making the launcher in the first place?
[04:39] <dyrne> tommus: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst   there is an example windows entry # commented out. copy that to bottom of file and change the partition info
[04:39] <drewzf> tommus: There's tutorials everywhere if you google it
[04:39] <tommus> drewzf: how do i find the physical loc of windows? thats what i need to know
[04:40] <dave__> drew do you play any oline games
[04:40] <fyremaker> The splash screen on my Ubuntu installation doesn't display right unless I put vga=0x301 in menu.lst.  Kernel updates always overwrite my edit.  Short of backing the file up how does one make manual changes to menu.lst survive kernel updates?
[04:40] <disasm> craigbass1976: yeah, aterm is in universe I believe, that's just how I do it, not necessarily the correct way
[04:40] <drewzf> dave__: I play CS, but I run a game server hosting company and I'm something of a pseudo-programmer, so I prefer being on the other end of the spectrum.
[04:40] <tommus> drewzf: yeah, but i just werent able to find any that worked for me.
[04:40] <craigbass1976> tommus, probably /dev/hda1 or /dev/hda2  Manufacturers often put a little DOS partition first.
[04:40] <Lukian> dyrne: thanks, going to try vesa -- wish me luck.
[04:41] <guillem101> fyremaker, I'm not sure, but I *think* that you shoud leave the desired options at the COMMENTED blocks above the boot  lists
[04:41] <dave__> i would like to invite you to a game of mine and sweet deal
[04:41] <tommus> i installed windows on /dev/hda3, is that the physical path then? im not a linux-guru at all.
[04:41] <disasm> craigbass1976: on the point of "run in terminal", I'm not sure, I only use gnome when I absolutely have to, ie. troubleshooting a gnome issue for faculty/researcher
[04:41] <Arrick> is winbind a seperate package from samba?
[04:41] <ebichete> fyremaker: stick it in the default options section of your menu.lst
[04:42] <jtt> tommus:  fdisk /dev/hdXN  look at partiton type
[04:42] <drewzf> tommus: that's the device path. I think grub allows you to use device path.
[04:42] <Arrick> oh, sorry wrong channel I can only get help for ubuntu from ##linux
[04:42] <jtt> tommus:  when in fdisk  execute  p
[04:42] <dfgas_> would i be able to install ubuntu on a 2gig drive?
[04:42] <drewzf> tommus: jtt's command will show you, or should.
[04:42] <dave__> wel drew thanks for the help and the offer always stands
[04:42] <jtt> Arrick: no #ubuntu
[04:42] <dyrne> dfgas_: i know breezy used to be about 1.8 gigs for default install. havent done default install for  a while
[04:43] <fyremaker> ebichete: thanks, I'll give that a try
[04:43] <drewzf> dave__: Well, if you're serious about the offer I'm interested. you can Pm if you'd like.
[04:43] <craigbass1976> disasm, ok, the aterm prefix to the path worked.  Something is different in 6.10 GNOME, because I did not have to do this on Dapper.
[04:43] <tommus> "Unable to open /dev/hdXN", i tried hda3, hda1 etc, same result.
[04:43] <jtt> tommus: look in the System column  after executing  p  command in fdisk
[04:43] <shnastybiznastic> so I want to edit an entry in the applications menu, but when I try to edit the menu, it shows arotating cursor and displays a panel in the taskbar called starting menu layout, but no application actually comes up
[04:44] <dyrne> tommus: just sudo fdisk -l
[04:44] <dave__> okay do you play uk4
[04:44] <dave__> im pout for lunch ill be back in 30 mins
[04:44] <drewzf> uk4?
[04:45] <tommus> System for /dev/sda3 is HPFS/NTFS. Thats my winxp partition.
[04:45] <jtt> tommus: sounds like it
[04:45] <tommus> Yea, so what do i add to my menu.lst? I am really off clues right now.
[04:45] <Mikey> what is the minimum size of hard drive does ubuntu server install require?
[04:46] <Adam|Weishaupt> hi people, can anyone help me -- xmms/sylpheed starts with problems (Missing character set..) >> http://sial.org/pbot/24164
[04:46] <jhaig> Mikey: Debian can install on <500Mb, I believe.  I would imagine that Ubuntu would be the same.
[04:47] <Mikey> bah, im looking for something smaller
[04:47] <Artemis3> dont use xmms its outdated, get ardacious d
[04:47] <Mikey> but cli only
[04:47] <jcazor> hi
[04:47] <Artemis3> audacious
[04:47] <jtt> tommus: since i dont run windows i cant tell you  google  grub chainload    it should show u
[04:47] <jtt> tommus: know a LOT about grub is essential
[04:48] <jtt> tommus:  knowing
[04:48] <jcazor> i've got a problem with su. When i change user using su - from root it works well, but if try it from another user it goes very slowly... do you know why??? the machine is cpu and memory ok
[04:48] <Mikey> jtt: grub or lilo ? thats the question? :P
[04:48] <tommus> jtt: yeah, i know. im 2 months into using linux, im trying to learn as i go but i've never used linux before so its a big world :)
[04:48] <jhaig> Mikey: How small?  That 500Mb was plucked out of the air, and it might be much less than that.
[04:49] <jtt> Mikey: you still here  i left 8 hours ago and you wer on then  wow
[04:49] <Mikey> <128 ? maybe smaller? DSL manages to fit into 49 and thats *with* X
[04:49] <jtt> Mikey: grub over lilo  grub 2  is either out or on the way
[04:49] <Mikey> jtt: im a different mike :)
[04:49] <jtt> Mikey ok
[04:49] <steel_lady> Please help! Every time I need to reset my computer several times in order to get sound :-(((
[04:50] <Mikey> jtt: i think grub is too invasive (once i set up what i want to boot i dont need all other options, just a simple prompt for about 2-3 sec
[04:50] <drewzf> steel_lady: Any error output on startup
[04:50] <shnastybiznastic> steel_lady: what sort of computer is it?  A laptop or a desktop, model number, etc.?
[04:52] <jtt> Mikey: so do you use grub for that
[04:52] <paki> hi
[04:52] <Mikey> jtt: i tried lilo and its damn fast :)
[04:53] <steel_lady> drewzf, no error
[04:53] <steel_lady> shnastybiznastic, I have a dell laptop. the rest of components are good but sound and graph card are very simple
[04:54] <aib> anyone know what causes this when ssh'ing to a host? "connect /tmp/.X11-unix/X0: No such file or directory"
[04:54] <shnastybiznastic> steel_lady: what's the model number?
[04:55] <jonah> hi guys, got permission problems!! can anyone please help me out?
[04:55] <steel_lady> shnastybiznastic, its Inspiron 6400
[04:55] <drewzf> jonah: chmod -R 0777 filenmame
[04:55] <HorizonXP> hi guys
[04:55] <jonah> i backed up my old home dir and reinstalled them pasted the home folder back
[04:55] <mzanfardino> I'm trying to play a DVD and I'm getting an error that tells me I may not have sufficient rights to my device.  A) how can I check the right I have to the device (ls /dev/scd0?) and B) how do I change the rights such that I have permission to play a DVD (chmod 777 /dev/scd0?)
[04:55] <drewzf> change the modtype accordingly
[04:55] <HorizonXP> can anyone help me with ACPI on a laptop?
[04:55] <jonah> but now all permissions are wrong
[04:55] <drewzf> jonah: chmod -R 0777 /home/user/
[04:56] <jonah> drewzf, i need a way to do my whole home folder, but won't things all need different permissions?
[04:56] <reep> jonah: how did you back it up?
[04:56] <kmyst> Hi...anybody know much about booting thin clients and dhcpd.conf really well?
[04:57] <jonah> reep, i had  a broken ubuntu setup so i used simplymepis as a live disc, drag home folder to external hardrive, installed ubuntu clean and then dragged from external drive back
[04:57] <jonah> reep, only prob was i had to drag back with mepis also as my external drive wouldnt mount in ubuntu
[04:58] <jonah> reep, so now i've got all back in place but everything has padlocks etc. and i get error message on startup saying that .drmc needs to be 644
[04:58] <reep> jonah: does the external harddrive have fat32?
[04:59] <jonah> reep, external drive is ext3
[04:59] <reep> jonah: hm, weird that it didn't preserve ownership and permissions then
[04:59] <Mikey> jtt: now i use grub, but i dont like it, its starts too slow
[04:59] <jonah> reep, yeah, so is there anything i can do to sort it out?
[04:59] <ebichete> kmyst: Probably not here. Have you tried the Edubuntu guys? They do that kind of stuff.
[05:00] <rausb0> aib: i guess ssh tries to use X11 forwarding. disable with ssh -x ...
[05:00] <kmyst> ebichete: thanks, i'll try that
[05:00] <HorizonXP> does anyone know how to set up ACPI on a laptop?
[05:00] <reep> jonah: first of all, run sudo chown -R username /home/username for each home in question
[05:00] <jonah> reep, this is where mac os x is cool cos it has permissions utility to fix stuff hehe
[05:01] <jonah> reep, ok doing that now
[05:01] <Rio79> im trying to figure out why 26GB of a 40GB master harddrive is used.  at one point, i used to have lots of video on there, but not anymore.  when ubuntu downloads updates, does it store tar files someplace.... files that could be deleted? i typed "ls" at the main folder, and it doesnt show where the majority of the files are located
[05:01] <reep> jonah: I think you can use nautilus to fix such permissions too... if you run nautilus with sudo you can also change ownership
[05:01] <rmaugusto> Does anybody know when ubuntu 7 will be stable?
[05:02] <reep> jonah: I suggest you set the permission on all files to 644, and all dirs to 755, and then afterwards set more restrictive permissions on files that need it
[05:02] <jonah> reep, tried it in nautilus already and doesnt seem to wrk very well and slow too. rather put terminal
[05:02] <imdz> hello, i'm using ubuntu 7.04 and networking doesn't start when i start ubuntu
[05:02] <jonah> reep, ok that's cool, is there a batch way to do this from shell prompt?
[05:03] <CheesyJedi> hey guys
[05:03] <Shaffox__> !chmod | jonah
[05:03] <ubotu> jonah: The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[05:03] <reep> jonah: to change permission on all files: find /home/username -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
[05:03] <CheesyJedi> I want to setup compiz on my laptop
[05:03] <CheesyJedi> can anyone help me with that?
[05:03] <reep> jonah: to change permissions on all dirs: find /home/username -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
[05:03] <LegolasV> hi, is it possible to run two instances of amarok, using different preferences? I have two (actually three) soundcards and want each instance to use another card. (For use with a hardware mixer)
[05:04] <CheesyJedi> how do I find out if my graphics card is even up to snuff with compiz
[05:04] <CheesyJedi> ?
[05:04] <bcochofel> What's the thing about hyperref package on ubuntu? I can't define pdfauthor, title, etc...
[05:04] <toscano88> Enter text here...can someone help me?  i'm having difficulty getting ubuntu installed.
[05:04] <fwtest> hello, i am trying to install ftp reverse proxy, which package would you recommend me?
[05:05] <wo0lverine> hello
[05:05] <arrow> I'm having trouble burning x264 movies (.avi container) with gnomebaker, but k3b works fine, does anyone know how to make gnomebaker work?
[05:06] <gary> Is there a good program for drawing database layouts, class layouts etc.. for gnu/linux?
[05:07] <arrow> toscano88, whats the problem
[05:07] <shnastybiznastic> steel_lady: this guy seems to have a solution: http://domrep-jamaica.blogspot.com/2006/05/new-laptop-dell-inspiron-6400.html
[05:07] <ebichete> gary: Try Dia or Inkscape. There are others but those two are in the default repositories.
[05:08] <tommy1987> gary: i find that dia is good
[05:08] <toscano88> here's my problem...i had an issue with the partitioning.  i'm loading ubuntu on a computer that's already running windows.  i selected ext3 and it loads about 50% give or take and then it locks up
[05:08] <Keneo> hello, I'm looking for  a good uml tool to use in ubuntu
[05:08] <Keneo> I liked how 'umbrello' works ( a uml tool for kde) but it kinda hangs alot, and can't always load his own created files right :s
[05:08] <tommy1987> keneo: uml tool for ubuntu = dia!
[05:09] <toscano88> for a while, it said that i didn't have anything selected for the root file system, but i did.  i got past that and now it gets between 40% - 60 % and just freezes
[05:09] <tommy1987> dia is awesome, and has never hung for me
[05:09] <tjb13> hey guys what is the 7.04 beta alternate?
[05:09] <fliptechnology> I am trying to get my camera to talk to ubuntu, dmesg shows the device as sda1 via usb but there is no sda1 file in /dev. any ideas?
[05:09] <Keneo> hmm, but at first sight it doesn't has all the features that umbrello has
[05:09] <tommy1987> what features are you missing?
[05:09] <toscano88> by the way, i'm loading 6.10
[05:09] <tommy1987> what is the harm in giving it a go, it cant wipe your arse but it comes close
[05:10] <fliptechnology> basically how would I go about creating the sda device files?
[05:10] <Keneo> :p
[05:10] <Keneo> tommy1987, I'll read the help :)
[05:10] <borogx> sweetjaja
[05:10] <Keneo> but could you help me gettings started making a classdiagram?
[05:11] <tommy1987> ;-) good compromise, but literally you just run it and select UML from the drop down list and all the tools you could want are there, on the contrary, I tried umbrello and hated it
[05:11] <gary> tommy1987: I'm using dia, however, the arrows don't seem to work that great, when trying to join up two database tables for example
[05:11] <steel_lady> shnastybiznastic: I am bad in this, how can I know which driver do I have? I think the driver is working but I am suspecting the hardware problem...
[05:11] <tommy1987> indeed I could, am looking at a UML book right now and studying it also ;-)
[05:11] <Wanderer> If I wanted to get the date "2 days ago" how would you do that with /bin/date?
[05:11] <HorizonXP> aww... i guess no one knows how to set up ACPI?
[05:11] <Wanderer> nevermind
[05:11] <toscano88> so arrow, what do you think?
[05:11] <Wanderer> found it
[05:11] <arrow> toscano88, if you don't type my nick before your response I won't relize you responded
[05:11] <tommy1987> there is also a good one written in java (I say good, the only good thing about it is it does all your code and class creation) it is called ArgoUML
[05:11] <toscano88> oh, sorry
[05:11] <arrow> and I'll look to see if I can find anything
[05:11] <soho> hello, is somebody here who have experience with compiz and the tray-icon?
[05:11] <toscano88> ok
[05:12] <YetiChick> HorizonXP:  What part of ACPI are you trying to set up?
[05:12] <toscano88> arrow...here's my problem...i had an issue with the partitioning.  i'm loading ubuntu on a computer that's already running windows.  i selected ext3 and it loads about 50% give or take and then it locks up
[05:12] <HorizonXP> well, it's installed and everything
[05:13] <HorizonXP> the MAIN problem i'm having is the temperature of my laptop
[05:13] <HorizonXP> there are other probs, but those are minor in comparison
[05:13] <HorizonXP> my laptop gets REALLY hot... and I don't remember it being this hot in Windows XP
[05:13] <arkora> I am running linux 2.6.20-*14* on feisty, and need to install the old version 2.6.20-*13*. Where can I find these debs? They do not exist in the repositories anymore, and I have deleted my archive cache. Any ideas?
[05:13] <Qwell[] > If apt fails mid upgrade, am I completely screwed?  The packages it was trying to upgrade aren't in the list anymore
[05:13] <toscano88> arrow...for a while, it said that i didn't have anything selected for the root file system, but i did.  i got past that and now it gets between 40% - 60 % and just freezes
[05:13] <soho> i want to start it while i login to gnome, but i always get an window opened where i have to check "tray" and the the icon is in tray. is there a way to directly put it to tray without the window?
[05:13] <gnomefreak> arkora: join #ubuntu+1 and ask
[05:13] <arrow> toscano88: did you look at this page? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UserDocumentation?action=fullsearch&context=180&value=dual+boot&titlesearch=Titles
[05:13] <Keneo> tommy1987, in dia you have to draw everything yourself, I would like to just create a class, add methods, and get it visual in uml
[05:13] <soho> i speak about the compiz-tray-icon
[05:14] <toscano88> arrow...i'm running 6.10 btw
[05:14] <crimeboy> the feisty RC is out?!
[05:14] <mads__> Anybody know how to reduce the power consumption when running Linux? ... I am travelling a lot and Windows on my laptop consumes far less power than linux ...
[05:14] <gnomefreak> soho: join #ubuntu-effects and ask please
[05:14] <HorizonXP> YetiChick, it's installed and everything
[05:14] <drewzf> Qwell[] : aptitude reinstall the packages
[05:14] <soho> gnomefreak; thanks
[05:14] <Qwell[] > drewzf: ...there were about 800
[05:14] <toscano88> no, i'll take a look
[05:14] <drewzf> Qwell[] : ouch
[05:14] <gnomefreak> soho: yw
[05:14] <HorizonXP> Yetichick, but the laptop's temperature is very high, like close to 70C, and i don't remember it being this high in Windows XP
[05:15] <toscano88> ok arrow.  i'm going to look at that page.  i'll be back
[05:15] <arkora> gnomefreak: thx
[05:15] <Qwell[] > whoever maintains the gnome packages needs to seriously learn how to actually manage packages
[05:15] <gnomefreak> arkora: yw
[05:16] <deefzi> why doesn't 'unrar x -r *.rar' extract all the .rar-files on directory, it says "extracting from (the first file)" but then "no files to extract"
[05:16] <jonah_> reep, hi again, sorry was disconnected, is there a way to do this from prompt?
[05:16] <arrow> mads__ this is all I could find https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Fglrx_lowpower?highlight=%28power%29
[05:17] <YetiChick> HorizonXP:  I see.  Unfortunately, I've never had a problem with laptop temperature.  Not sure if I can help much.
[05:17] <Qwell[] > deefzi: recursively?  If so, bash will be globbing the * in the current dir
[05:17] <YetiChick> HorizonXP:  What kind of laptop is it?
[05:17] <PaulDev> deefzi: unrar x -r '*.rar'
[05:17] <twigathy_> Hey all. Got a weird problem - Plugged in my external hard drive and it appears to be picked up as a floppy drive (Getting /dev/fd0) and leading to "Apr 12 15:57:24 Monkey kernel: [17938888.964000]  end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0" errors in /var/log/messages....anyone got any ideas as to what may be wrong?
[05:17] <reep> jonah_: from a terminal you mean? I posted some commands earlier, but you didn't get them then?
[05:17] <HorizonXP> YetiChick: Dell Inspiron 8500
[05:18] <PaulDev> deefzi: or just : unrar x '*.rar'
[05:18] <soho> gnomefreak; is there also a channel for encryption in ubuntu?
[05:18] <jonah_> reep, sorry i didnt get them, dodgy internet connection
[05:18] <anhdepyeu> deefzi: try this: for f in *.r ; do unrar "${f}" ; done
[05:18] <gnomefreak> soho: thats a good question
[05:18] <christos> hello, do you know of any ftp text client where I can do "get *.html" ??
[05:18] <gnomefreak> soho: not real sure
[05:18] <YetiChick> Well, that's a plus.  I've read about a program to control fan speed on Dell laptops.  Not sure if it's in the default Ubuntu distribution, though.
[05:18] <Pelo> HorizonXP,  look into powernowd  it varies the cpu freq according to usage,  it might help a bit
[05:18] <anhdepyeu> deefzi: that's supposed to be *.rar -- sorry
[05:18] <olimpico> How can I install all the packages that I have installed in one computer automatically to another which I installed from scratch?
[05:18] <Qwell[] > christos: try mget
[05:18] <soho> gnomefreak; ok
[05:18] <Qwell[] > mget *.html
[05:18] <HorizonXP> well
[05:18] <olimpico>  Is there a file which I can copy and then upgrade the system and all my configuration will be installed automatically?
[05:18] <deefzi> anhdepyeu: thank you
[05:18] <Qwell[] > some clients will do that properly
[05:18] <tonyyarusso> soho: I'm not aware of a specific one.
[05:19] <sidny4> I just installed wpasupplicant, where do I find wpa_supplicant.conf? it's not in the /etc folder
[05:19] <gnomefreak> ty tonyyarusso me neither
[05:19] <soho> tonyyarusso; ok, thanks
[05:19] <YetiChick> HorizonXP:  I8Kfangui...  hm...  Here's a link.  http://www.diefer.de/i8kfan/index.html
[05:19] <PaulDev> sidny: find / -name wpa_supplicant.conf
[05:20] <jonah_> hi guys i've got a problem with wine, when i type winecfg it says: exec: 29: /usr/bin/wine: not found
[05:20] <HorizonXP> YetiChick, Pelo, I've installed i8k for Dell laptops, so my system is controlling fan speeds. I'm able to turn them on or off myself, or system automatically does it.
[05:20] <drewzf> jonah_: slocate bin/wine
[05:20] <Pelo> jonah_,   ask in #winehq
[05:20] <reep> jonah_: made a script that should change the permissions for all homedirs: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15233/
[05:20] <christos> thanks Qwell[] 
[05:20] <dave__> drew are you here
[05:20] <drewzf> dave__: yes
[05:21] <dave__> i have retured from my journey of getting fat
[05:21] <olimpico> How can I install all the packages that I have installed in one computer automatically to another which I installed from scratch?
[05:21] <olimpico>  Is there a file which I can copy and then upgrade the system and all my configuration will be installed automatically?
[05:21] <YetiChick> HorizonXP:  So, you're saying that with the fan working properly you're still seeing higher temps than usual?
[05:21] <cheiron> does anyone in here use TurboPrint?
[05:21] <Pelo> olimpico,  your /home folder,  it will restore all your settings,  but you will still have to re-install the progs
[05:21] <HorizonXP> YetiChick,Pelo, I installed the CPU frequency scaling stuff, using p4-clockmod, with a HOWTO i googled for; and apparently, it DOESN'T use powernowd, but i was able to set the cpu clock speeds; until i restarted. now it just hovers at 2.2Ghz, and 1.65Ghz; no lower
[05:22] <HorizonXP> YetiChick, Pelo, yes, with my fans working, that's what I'm seeing
[05:22] <dave__> wolfenstien drew
[05:22] <HorizonXP> right now it's at 65C.... it can go to 55C, but very rarely
[05:22] <olimpico> Pelo: I'm not talking about the settings, I know that if I copy my homefolder I will get the same configuration. I'm talking about the packages.
[05:23] <YetiChick> HorizonXP:  Mmm...  Well, if the only difference is the OS, then you're looking at CPU scaling - or CPU usage.  Is this while in use, or at idle?
[05:23] <dave__> do u plau
[05:23] <UberPsyX> need help with a bcm4318 chip desktop wifi card, cant get lights on back to turn on. had it running once but had to reinstall ubuntu now cant remember how to get it working again
[05:23] <Pelo> olimpico,  you can make an install script using apt-get and run it ,  it will reinstall all your progs that way
[05:23] <olimpico> Pelo: apt-tool doesn't register all the installed software?
[05:23] <jonah_> reep, thanks for the script, that's awesome
[05:23] <olimpico> Pelo: I assume that is possible, what I want to know is where are all this installed packages register in Ubuntu.
[05:24] <Pelo> olimpico,  I have no knowldege regarding apt-tool,
[05:24] <sidny4> how do you create a wpa_supplicant.conf? my computer doesn't have one (tried find / -name wpa_supplicant.conf, found nothing)
[05:24] <Pelo> olimpico,  no clue
[05:24] <olimpico> Pelo: apt-get is a command from apt-tool
[05:24] <jonah_> drewzf, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15235/
[05:24] <olimpico> Pelo: apt-tool has many commands.
[05:25] <Luofei> Luofei, 
[05:25] <PaulDev> sidny4, sudo vim  /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
[05:25] <Luofei> Luofei: 
[05:25] <HorizonXP> YetiChick, while in use... if it's idle, I can maybe get it to 60C... only when i first turn on the laptop will it be at 55C.
[05:25] <YetiChick> HorizonXP:  Or, I suppose it's possible that the fan runs at a more consistent, higher speed in Windows.  I've seen some machines run warmer in Linux at idle because, well, the screensavers are so much more... intense.
[05:25] <GoClick> We have a server that hangs after "Mounting root filesystem"
[05:26] <Pelo> olimpico,  you wouldn't have to reinstall everypackage anyway,  most of them will be part of the install process, you only need to make a script for the progs, you need,  and if you save the deb files for progs you installed that weren'T part of the repos you can dkpg those from the same script as well
[05:26] <HorizonXP> YetiChick: i don't know how much faster these fans can run, they're already pretty loud, and fast at 2200RPM and 1800RPM
[05:26] <dave__> drew i have 1 final question
[05:26] <YetiChick> HorizonXP:  Are the temperatures you're mentioning now in Windows?  And you said 70 in Linux, right?
[05:26] <HorizonXP> YetiChick: These temperatures are in Linux
[05:26] <dave__> or to anyone who can help
[05:26] <UberPsyX> hey, ive been on this IRC 4 days now and no one ever responds! please can someone help im getting stupidly annoyed with the whole wifi thing
[05:26] <Noiano> hello everybody
[05:26] <YetiChick> HorizonXP:  And what were the temps in Windows?
[05:26] <Noiano> can anyone advise me on a good ftp server, simpler than proftp?
[05:27] <YetiChick> UberPsy:  What wrong?
[05:27] <PaulDev> UberPsyX: what's the problem???
[05:27] <olimpico> Pelo: What do you mean I wouldn't need that, I have installed many, many codecs & applications which were not installed by default.
[05:27] <UberPsyX> i need help with a bcm4318 chip desktop wifi card, cant get lights on back to turn on. had it running once but had to reinstall ubuntu now cant remember how to get it working again
[05:27] <HorizonXP> YetiChick: I don't have reference temperatures for Windows... this was a friend's laptop that she gave to me, and she told me that it was never this hot.... like, it's VERY hot to the touch on the bottom
[05:27] <Weems> my network icon on the panel keeps showing my network as disconnected, but obviously it isnt. what gives?
[05:27] <olimpico> Pelo: It will take me days to have the same configuration I have now in my laptop.
[05:27] <olimpico> Pelo: And possible I wouldn't have all the software installed.
[05:27] <dyrne> Noiano: pureftpd has a gui front end called pureadmin  though ive never used it. anything wrong with ssh? you can use winscp as client in windows
[05:27] <PaulDev> UberPsyX, sorry can't help you (bailing out)
[05:28] <Pelo> olimpico,  most packages listed as installed were installed as part of the os, you only have to make a script for those package you installed yourself
[05:28] <dunstabulos_> UberPsyX: have you tried https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs ?
[05:28] <UberPsyX> lol why does everyone cower at the mention of wifi
[05:28] <UberPsyX> yes
[05:28] <YetiChick> HorizonXP:  Mmm...  Well, if you have the fans maxed out, and you're using CPU scaling, you might want to make sure it's not a change in the hardware that coincides with the change of OS.
[05:28] <olimpico> I know that I can copy the repositories, but I can't believe that apt-tool doesn't have a registry os something where all the installed software is listed
[05:28] <UberPsyX> but i still cant seem to get it working
[05:28] <Qwell[] > UberPsyX: bcm43xx sucks, just use ndiswrapper
[05:28] <Qwell[] > and ndiswrapper is dead simple to get going
[05:28] <YetiChick> HorizonXP:  It's bad when you spend a week trying to troubleshoot a software problem that turns out to be hardware.
[05:29] <UberPsyX> ndiswrapper doesnt work
[05:29] <Qwell[] > yes it does
[05:29] <arrow> I'm having trouble burning x264 movies (.avi container) with gnomebaker, and k3b does anyone know how to burn x264 files?
[05:29] <cara> Hi all
[05:29] <Noiano> dyrne: with that gui can I use proftpd without knowing how to configure it?
[05:29] <Pelo> olimpico,   open up synaptic and click the status button on the lower left, that is the best I can do for you
[05:29] <dyrne> olimpico: i thank god every day that i dont have to deal with registry issues in linux.
[05:29] <YetiChick> HorizonXP:  Is it possible for you to image the drive, install Windows and see if the temps change?
[05:29] <morpheus74> Hello.  Will the contents of the /tmp directory be deleted when I restart my machine?
[05:29] <UberPsyX> it says the correct driver and hardware are there but it still doesnt work
[05:29] <piekarz> lol
[05:29] <cara> I was wondering how to get my wifi working with the livecd on a dell inspiron 1501
[05:29] <piekarz> hello
[05:29] <Qwell[] > UberPsyX: well, did you configure it?
[05:29] <piekarz> s polacy?
[05:29] <piekarz> blabla
[05:29] <olimpico> Pelo: Yes, but they are too many packages, I don't even remember. I don't want to check which packages I have. With Gentoo, it is very simple to do this, I was assuming in ubuntu will work the same way
[05:30] <Pelo> !wireless | cara
[05:30] <ubotu> cara: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[05:30] <UberPsyX> ermm...sorry im a complete linux noob so how do i do that?
[05:30] <Qwell[] > UberPsyX: iwconfig help
[05:30] <arrow> !x246
[05:30] <Qwell[] > or maybe it's --help  I forget
[05:30] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about x246 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:30] <dyrne> olimpico: btw /var/something/dpkg/status  is  plain text file that has that. or dpkg -L
[05:30] <Pelo> olimpico,  that is all I have for you,  try checking the forum
[05:30] <Qwell[] > arrow: h264 you mean?
[05:30] <UberPsyX> Qwell[] , oh i tried iwlist scan before but it says eth1 does not support scanning
[05:31] <arrow> Qwell[]  possibly, a new high def  thing for movies
[05:31] <Qwell[] > UberPsyX: many cards don't - that isn't unusual
[05:31] <Qwell[] > arrow: heh, that's just h264
[05:31] <Qwell[] > it's an "HD" video codec
[05:31] <olimpico> dyrne: I'm not talking about a stupid registry like in windows. I'm talking about a file which has all the software installed in the system, which you can just copy to a brand new installed system and then run update and the new system will install all the software you had in the old system automatically. Like it happen sin Gentoo.
[05:31] <UberPsyX> Qwell[] , the annoying thing is ive had it working once
[05:31] <seravitae> Anyone here made an animated gif in linux before?
[05:32] <Pricey> !aptoncd | olimpico
[05:32] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about aptoncd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:32] <Qwell[] > UberPsyX: but, when you do iwconfig, it *does* show up there?
[05:32] <Pricey> !info aptoncd | olimpico
[05:32] <ubotu> olimpico: Package aptoncd does not exist in edgy, edgy-backports, edgy-seveas
[05:32] <Qwell[] > seraphim: burnallgifs.com
[05:32] <Pricey> bah
[05:32] <Pricey> !info aptoncd feisty | olimpico
[05:32] <Qwell[] > .org?  I forget
[05:32] <ubotu> olimpico: aptoncd: CD-based repository creator for packages downloaded via APT. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.1~rc-0ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 149 kB, installed size 916 kB
[05:32] <UberPsyX> Qwell[] , ill just try it
[05:32] <Pricey> olimpico, that's what you're looking for :)
[05:32] <Qwell[] > yeah, .org
[05:32] <cara> Pelo is this possible with the livecd? because I don't plan on installing ubuntu until after I test it.
[05:32] <seravitae> Qwell[] : i'll check it out
[05:32] <SlimG> Is there a command that regenerates the same xorg.conf that get's generated under the ubuntu install? (not the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg wizard)
[05:32] <seravitae> uhh
[05:32] <Qwell[] > seraphim: use png/mng
[05:32] <seravitae> that site doesnt look very uh.. gif related.
[05:32] <arrow> Qwell[] : yeah, thats what I meant to say, I'm having trouble burning them, they're in .avi containers (I think thats whats its called), I tried gnomebaker and k3b
[05:33] <Qwell[] > seravitae: yeah, it's .org, sorry, heh
[05:33] <seravitae> Qwell[] : i'd like to make a gif.. not a png. for animation. and the .org site is about device drivers
[05:33] <Qwell[] > arrow: well, neither of those will transcode
[05:33] <Qwell[] > eh?
[05:33] <olimpico> I'm not sure, that's getting the repositories, I can also copy the same repositories I have to the new system, I just want the new system to apt-get install all the software I have in the old system automatically.
[05:33] <Firefoxman> Help!
[05:33] <Qwell[] > well, the point is - you shouldn't use gif
[05:33] <Qwell[] > ever
[05:33] <Pelo> cara,  I don't know,  I can tell you those mods won't be save , for obvious reasons,  behond that I have no idea , if the proceedure involves restarting I think you should forget it , sorry,  I can't help behond that, I donT' hve a wireless connection, I was just pointing you to the info
[05:33] <seravitae> Qwell[] : that is abstract to my question
[05:33] <olimpico> Pricey: I'm not sure, that's getting the repositories, I can also copy the same repositories I have to the new system, I just want the new system to apt-get install all the software I have in the old system automatically.
[05:33] <vieirar> Hi I am using Fiesty atm and have a Dell 19 LCD matched with a Nvidia 256Mb video card. My LCD can do 1600 x 1200 and the video card also supports that. How come my resolution will not allow this. I am using the latest Nvidia drivers with glx
[05:33] <Firefoxman> I am installing 6.06 LTS on a NFTS partition , and it cannot resize
[05:34] <Qwell[] > the answer is, open source programs *can't* (legally) make gifs
[05:34] <UberPsyX> Qwell[] , it does show up and it says things like access point: invalid and other things like dB: ...
[05:34] <arrow> Qwell[] : now that I now the proper name, I'll google it again
[05:34] <cara> hmm
[05:34] <Helmi> evening guys
[05:34] <dyrne> !fixres| vieirar
[05:34] <ubotu> vieirar: 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
[05:34] <Qwell[] > UberPsyX: You have to set them
[05:34] <tonyyarusso> vieirar: #ubuntu+1 for feisty
[05:34] <olimpico> Firefoxman: Please use 6.10, then you would have no problems
[05:34] <Pelo> cara,  consider a direct cable connection for your testing requirements
[05:34] <Helmi> i gotta hp laserjet 3320 (with jetdirect network adapter from HP) - any idea how i could get this running under ubuntu?
[05:34] <cara> ok 6.10 is the efty something
[05:34] <UberPsyX> Qwell[] , so does that mean i just need to configure the settings in there?
[05:34] <morpheus74> Can someone tell me if the contents of /tmp are removed on reboot?
[05:35] <cara> Pelo I don't have one
[05:35] <Pelo> cara,  yes  6.10 is edgy
[05:35] <Pricey> olimpico, (on feisty) that software can burn all the packages you have installed to a disc
[05:35] <tonyyarusso> morpheus74: Not 100% certain, but I believe so
[05:35] <cara> ok
[05:35] <vieirar> I know I can go into the xorg config and modify it but how come it does not pick up the usable resolutions? This also happened in Edgy
[05:35] <cara> I was making sure
[05:35] <Pricey> olimpico, not just an entire repo... you choose
[05:35] <Qwell[] > UberPsyX: yes
[05:35] <UberPsyX> Qwell[] , thanks, if i get stuck ill be back
[05:35] <cara> I was told my ram maybe able to hold it, and I was thinking about the persistance thingy as well
[05:35] <UberPsyX> thanks for the help
[05:35] <Pelo> gotta go , later folks
[05:36] <gav616> some one know a dirty fix for the udp/kad disconnect bug in wine. using feisty beta atm...ty
[05:36] <olimpico> Pricey: That's fine, but I don't need it on a disk, the repositories are in teh internet, i want apt-tool  to install for me from the repositories in the internet all the software I have in my old sytem to my new installed system.
[05:36] <dave__> drew you here
[05:36] <tonyyarusso> !cloning | olimpico
[05:36] <dave__> i need some help
[05:36] <Pricey> olimpico, hmmm ok give me 5 minutes
[05:36] <ubotu> olimpico: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type "dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages", move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type "sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade" - See also !automate
[05:36] <Pricey> uuu thanks tonyyarusso
[05:36] <dave__> ubotu my i have a word
[05:37] <SlimG> Is there a command that regenerates the same xorg.conf that get's generated under the ubuntu install? (not the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg wizard)
[05:37] <Pricey> dave__, ubotu is a bot
[05:37] <olimpico> Pricey: That's cool, where did you find this?
[05:37] <Pricey> !xconfig > SlimG (see pm from ubotu)
[05:37] <dave__> i just figured this out mabye you can help me
[05:38] <dave__> pricey a word
[05:38] <Pricey> dave__, just ask in channel :)
[05:39] <dyrne> olimpico: dpkg has an option to create a file with list of everything installed then i think on new system you can point to this file. of course you could do the same thing by cat ./status and pipe it to a few things the > to a file to get format you want then do a one liner on the new system to install all of em.
[05:39] <dave__> is there anyway i can add all the dll overrides in the wine config at once
[05:39] <UberPsyX> Qwell[] , how do i change the settings? is it: sudo iwconfig eth1 essid: xxxxxxxxx
[05:39] <Qwell[] > UberPsyX: no :
[05:40] <UberPsyX> how?
[05:40] <dave__> i guess not
[05:40] <reep> UberPsyX: sudo iwconfig eth1 essid myNetwork
[05:40] <UberPsyX> ok thanks
[05:40] <gav616> is there a limit in half open connections in buntu?
[05:40] <reep> UberPsyX: iwconfig --help shows available options and syntax
[05:40] <curator> Hi, how do I mount LVM paritions from a (going bad) 2nd drive?
[05:40] <UberPsyX> ok thanks

[05:41] <HorizonXP> YetiChick: Yeah probably, but I'll have to do it in about a week, i have exams right now;
[05:41] <gl8di8tor> Can anyone tell me the "Keycode" for the combination Fn+F8 on a Samsung R55 Notebook (I want to write a script to adjust the brightness, because it won't work without it)
[05:41] <SlimG> Pricey: Thanks!
[05:41] <HorizonXP> Yetichick, that's probably the best course of action so I can seee exactly where the problem lies.
[05:41] <dave__> does anybody know what the override for apm in wine
[05:41] <dyrne> gl8di8tor: why not use xgamma in the script?
[05:42] <gl8di8tor> because i don't know anything about xgamma! ^^
[05:43] <YetiChick> HorizonXP:  Sorry I can't think of much else to try.  Until you know for sure, you're trying to fix a completely subjective problem based on user info.
[05:43] <YetiChick> HorizonXP:  And 55-60 is not that hot at all.  70 under load?  Not bad, either.
[05:43] <Qwell[] > 70...degrees?
[05:43] <Qwell[] > That's EXTREMELY hot
[05:44] <YetiChick> Qwell[] :  Really?  What processor?
[05:44] <Qwell[] > uhh...any?
[05:45] <greg1> wow ...
[05:45] <greg1> hi

[05:45] <greg1> 1100 people here, that's madness
[05:45] <arrow> so Qwell[] , I can't find anything on burning h264 movies, do you have any advice?
[05:45] <cc_> yes, 1100 users
[05:45] <Qwell[] > arrow: no, I was just pointing out your flaw
[05:45] <abcdef> lol

[05:45] <greg1> lol
[05:45] <guillem101> greg1, wait to feisty release day...
[05:45] <GoClick> Can I reinstall Ubuntu without losing the non Ubuntu files on a partition?

[05:46] <arrow> guillem101: I can't wait till release day!!
[05:46] <Qwell[] > why the heck does dia depend on gnome-games-data?

[05:46] <greg1> ok, I had a question, I did create a package, do you guys know how to submit the package ?
[05:46] <dyrne> GoClick: thats a good reason to have seperate partitions for /home and maybe a /shared for music and such
[05:46] <YetiChick> guillem101:  Farenheit.
[05:46] <tripitaka> hello, I have a dual head Matrox G550 card with two identical monitors, is there a recommended way to stretch the display accross them? I've just installed feisty faun and the two monitors are both displaying the same thing
[05:47] <Bsims> Qwell[] : its gnome be lucky it doesn't depend on gnucash
[05:47] <GoClick> dyrne: I didn't ask if it was a good or bad idea for who setup the machine
[05:47] <Gambaroni> How do I install using PXE?
[05:47] <Juanca> hey everybody. How can I clean my repository
[05:47] <GoClick> I was just asking if it could be done
[05:47] <nikin> i have insalled my system with the name ubuntu, but now i want to change it.... how do i do that?
[05:47] <greg1> Gambaroni: well explained on Debian website
[05:47] <guillem101> YetiChick, Qwell[]  , 80 Farenheit is about 41 Celsius, if I recall correctly
[05:47] <tripitaka> nikin: hostname foo.bar.com

[05:48] <tripitaka> nikin: whoops, `sudo hostname foo.bar.com`
[05:48] <GoClick> Is it possible to get root while using the live cd?
[05:48] <Qwell[] > guillem101: If you can make me a fan that can cool my laptop to 60F, I will give you like $100
[05:48] <PaulDev> gl8di8tor, xgamma --help

[05:49] <Kovvensky> I have a Geforce4
[05:49] <greg1> that's crazy
[05:49] <YetiChick> Qwell[] :  I suppose it's more likely, yes.  Although I wouldn't go so far as to call it obvious.
[05:49] <Juanca> How can I clean up my repository?
[05:49] <tripitaka> Yoriel: save the file /etc/shadow

[05:51] <vsamel> HI I have a DELL D620 with a docking station? Ubuntu does not support docking/undocking..can I make this work anyhow?
[05:51] <dyrne> gl8di8tor: wait... what are you trying to do?
[05:51] <Yoriel> 	<tripitaka> i have to do this file?
[05:51] <tripitaka> GoClick: if you've forgotten your root password, you'll need to boot to single user mode and edit /etc/passwd - change the line root:x:etc.. to read root::etc..
[05:51] <GoClick> I'm using a livecd
[05:51] <gl8di8tor> dyrne: i want to use xgamma or something else (smartkey) with a hotkey (Fn+F8)
[05:52] <UberPsyX> Qwell[] , are you still there?!?!?
[05:52] <sebaji> i am using squid but i can not use amsn...what must a do to use amsn and msn ?
[05:52] <tripitaka> yoriel: that file contains the hashed passwords of your users. If you save the lines corresponding to your users and copy them to another machine, their passwords are copied over
[05:52] <guillem101> tripitaka, Can't you use the passwd command in single user mode???
[05:52] <gl8di8tor> dyrne: sry, Fn+Uparrow and Fn+DOWNarrow to adjust the brightness
[05:52] <EnsignRedshirt> Any idea why this prints an extra line with no file name: ls | xargs -n 1 echo "File: "
[05:52] <Juanca> greg1: It says it couldn't open '/var/cache/apt/archives/lock' which is "blocked", "13 access denied2
[05:52] <tripitaka> guillem101: you're right, you can
[05:52] <dyrne> gl8di8tor: ive never really fooled with keymapping
[05:52] <vsamel> QUESTION : I have a DELL D620 with a docking station? Ubuntu does not support docking/undocking..can I make this work anyhow?
[05:52] <tripitaka> guillem101: and it's easier
[05:52] <OpenTokix> Juanca: sudo apt-get clean
[05:53] <tripitaka> does anyone here run with dual monitors?
[05:53] <guillem101> tripitaka, I am not happy changing the /etc/passwd file anymore since shadow passwords....
[05:53] <gxe> help!  the latest updates i installed for edgy appear to have updated all the entries in /boot/grub/menu.lst to point to my feisty installation... i've fixed menu.lst but do i need to report this problem?
[05:53] <Strzalek> hi
[05:53] <Yoriel> 	<tripitaka> let me try
[05:53] <Juanca> OpenTokix: I did, and it says it couldn't open '/var/cache/apt/archives/lock' which is "blocked", "13 access denied"
[05:54] <tripitaka> guillem101: AFAIK, the second field either has an :x: (ie. look in /etc/shadow) or nothing (ie. this account has no password)
[05:54] <gl8di8tor> dyrne: ok, thanks! normally it should work, but this is just happening when i'm booting!
[05:54] <UberPsyX> reep, can you take a look at the output of iwconfig and tell me if anythings wrong
[05:54] <HorizonXP> YetiChick, Qwell[]  I'm talking about 70 degrees Celsius; I'm Canadian, that's how we roll here.. metric stylez
[05:54] <OpenTokix> Juanca: crazy, try "sudo su -" to get a root shell
[05:54] <guillem101> tripitaka, Could be, but I'm not willing to play with it :-P
[05:54] <tripitaka> :D
[05:54] <Qwell[] > HorizonXP: CPU temps are pretty much always measured in C
[05:54] <Juanca> OpenTokix: Ok, and now?
[05:54] <vsamel> DOES anyone use a docking station with Ubuntu?
[05:54] <Qwell[] > HorizonXP: and that's extremely hot
[05:54] <OpenTokix> ps aux |grep dpkg
[05:54] <OpenTokix> Juanca: ps aux |grep dpkg
[05:54] <YetiChick> HorizonXP:  Sorry, I was thinking in Farenheit.  What processor?
[05:55] <OpenTokix> Juanca: ps aux|grep apt-get
[05:55] <Strzalek> I have a problem ;/ I installed ubuntu nvidia drivers, and I still don't have resolution of 1280x1024. Can you help me?
[05:55] <OpenTokix> Juanca: maybe you have some processes running
[05:55] <blackest> hi when I logout of ubuntu desktop the login screen comes up closes then comes up again any idea why ?
[05:55] <OpenTokix> Juanca: or dselect or aptitude etc. running?
[05:55] <Qwell[] > YetiChick: I'd be *thrilled* if my processor was running at 70F...
[05:55] <rEvolution27> I heard feisty has the gives you the option to install the required codec when you try to play a file..
[05:55] <rEvolution27> How can I get this feature in edgy? Or can I just upgrade to feisty now?
[05:55] <GoClick> Actualy pretty much every temp is mesured in C it's only when Americans are looking at the weather that anyone used F, Even in American industry C is pretty darn common
[05:55] <OpenTokix> GoClick: Thank god
[05:55] <YetiChick> Qwell[] :  Yeah, me too.
[05:55] <Valandil> join #ubuntu-fr
[05:56] <gl8di8tor> Strzalek: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:56] <HorizonXP> Qwell[] , YetiChick: It's at 65C right now... Pentium 4 Mobile 2.2 Ghz
[05:56] <Qwell[] > HorizonXP: laptop?
[05:56] <UberPsyX> Qwell[] : can you help me *please* it still doesnt work
[05:56] <Juanca> OpenTokix: I did what you told me in the root chell. What kind of processes
[05:56] <Juanca> ?
[05:56] <HorizonXP> Qwell[] : Yes
[05:56] <blackest> rEvolution27 there is automatix which does a similar thing but i get told off when i mention it as automatix can cause problems
[05:56] <Qwell[] > HorizonXP: got a screwdriver and some q-tips?
[05:56] <OpenTokix> Juanca: Do you have any package handlers running?
[05:57] <rEvolution27> i've had automatix problems on other systems
[05:57] <Qwell[] > clean out the CPU fan/heatsink and all the grills
[05:57] <Juanca> OpenTokix: like synaptic?
[05:57] <rEvolution27> won't try it again
[05:57] <Juanca> OpenTokix: no
[05:57] <guillem101> HorizonXP, perhaps it is an acpi problem.. If I were you, I would reboot the machine and quickly see what the BIOS says about the CPU temperature... to see if it matches what you read at ubuntu
[05:57] <Qwell[] > HorizonXP: you'll see a surprising difference
[05:57] <HorizonXP> Qwell[] : not on hand, but I probably have some at home;
[05:57] <OpenTokix> Juanca: ok, hmm - something is locking your reposotiry
[05:57] <Juanca> OpenTokix: I think so
[05:57] <OpenTokix> Juanca: By far easiest solution should be a reboot
[05:57] <HorizonXP> guillem101: unfortunately, this stupid Dell BIOS doesn't have temp readouts
[05:57] <LjL> !adept fix
[05:57] <ubotu> If Adept crashed on you and your database is locked, try this in konsole:  sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a 
[05:57] <guillem101> :((
[05:57] <OpenTokix> Juanca: Also I have to go to the gym =)
[05:57] <Juanca> OpenTokix: reboot or reinstall ubuntu?
[05:58] <OpenTokix> Juanca: reboot
[05:58] <rEvolution27> I was wondering if it was safe to switch to the feisty repos and upgrade everything
[05:58] <Juanca> OpenTokix: doesn't work
[05:58] <OpenTokix> Juanca: you can't reboot?
[05:58] <Juanca> OpenTokix: thank you anyway
[05:58] <LjL> Juanca: try typing the above.
[05:58] <OpenTokix> Juanca: in your rootshell write: shutdown -r now
[05:58] <HorizonXP> Qwell[] : A friend suggested resetting the heatsink with some thermal paste... said it dropped his brother's temp significantly, like 15C... i think he's exaggerating tho, since most i've heard is like 5C drop
[05:58] <OpenTokix> Juanca: to reboot if you wanna
[05:58] <Qwell[] > HorizonXP: yes
[05:58] <Juanca> OpenTokix: I can (reboot), but that doesn't solve the problem
[05:58] <OpenTokix> Juanca: oh
[05:58] <OpenTokix> Juanca: then something else is wrong
[05:59] <HorizonXP> Qwell[] : Really? That much of a diff?
[05:59] <Qwell[] > I had an amd xp2000 that was running at > 65C..  I replaced the heatsink/fan and put on arctic silver - it ran at 35C
[05:59] <Yoriel> 	<tripitaka> how i do?
[05:59] <Qwell[] > my wifes laptop I cleaned it all out, put on arctic silver, and it dropped about 15-20C at full load
[05:59] <HorizonXP> Qwell[] : Hell, I'll do it then....
[05:59] <HorizonXP> Qwell[] : HOLY CRAP
[05:59] <Qwell[] > You have to actually apply it properly though
[05:59] <Qwell[] > too much is just as bad as too little
[06:00] <Kovensky> any bugs with the Edgy nvidia-glx drivers? I can't run the XServer with the nvidia driver, only the nv one. I get a modprobe error, either when I run modprobe or when the server starts and loads it automatically.
[06:00] <Qwell[] > possibly even worse, because it can run
[06:00] <exs> is msn messenger working?
[06:00] <Strzalek> gl8di8tor: ok, a now I should ctr+alt+backspace yes?
[06:00] <Strzalek> :D
[06:00] <HorizonXP> Qwell[] : Yeah I know... a little dab, and spread it with like a razor blade
 i want that when the user start up the dont have to write the wireless key
[06:00] <Qwell[] > HorizonXP: I'd use something a little less sharp :p
[06:00] <gl8di8tor> Strzalek: yes
[06:00] <Qwell[] > but, along those lines, yeah
[06:00] <Qwell[] > about the size of a BB
[06:00] <Qwell[] > maybe less for a laptop CPU
[06:01] <Qwell[] > I think the surface area is a lot smaller
[06:01] <HorizonXP> Qwell[] : Lol, touche... ok, that'll be the first thing I do next week then... because this temperature is going to kill the laptop very quickly
[06:01] <Strzalek> gl8di8tor: ok, thx, I hope that will work :)
[06:01] <UberPsyX> Qwell[] , back need a bit more help please
[06:01] <Qwell[] > HorizonXP: clean everything thoroughly first
[06:01] <soho> does totem-gstreamer support dvb?
[06:01] <soho> i get an error!
[06:02] <HorizonXP> Qwell[] : Yeah for sure... i'll do it in steps; I'll open it up, clean out all the dust and crap, see how it affects temps; then I'll apply Arctic Silver and etc.
[06:02] <YetiChick> HorizonXP:  Although according to Intel, you're operating at normal temperatures.
[06:02] <Qwell[] > soho: "an error" is completely useless
[06:02] <soho> somebody have info about this?
[06:02] <leticiareyes> ola
[06:02] <LjL> !es
[06:02] <ubotu> Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[06:02] <Qwell[] > HorizonXP: for the $7 USD or whatever it costs, it really does do wonders
[06:02] <Qwell[] > make sure you get *real* arctic silver though
[06:02] <HorizonXP> Qwell[] : I'm running my fans at full speed right now, and we're sitting at 64C
[06:02] <Qwell[] > yuck
[06:02] <rEvolution27> can anyone tell me if it's safe to upgrade to feisty?
[06:02] <YetiChick> HorizonXP:  But...  It can't hurt to use Arctic Silver.  I have a teeny tube right here.  I hate those sticky pads.
[06:03] <HorizonXP> YetiChick: Yeah I know, this old line of P4s relaly had high temps
[06:03] <Qwell[] > those pads suck, I always get rid of them...
[06:03] <LjL> rEvolution27: it'll be safe when it's released
[06:03] <thoreauputic> rEvolution27: no, if you upgrade your family will be shot, you will fall down the stairs and break your neck, nad kittens all over the world will die
[06:04] <rEvolution27> sigh
[06:04] <HorizonXP> YetiChick, Qwell[] : Aiight thanks for your help with that, now I have a course of action that I can take.
[06:04] <YetiChick> HorizonXP:  Good luck.
[06:04] <vox754> thoreauputic, funny
[06:04] <thoreauputic> rEvolution27: seriously, feisty is looking pretty good now :)
[06:04] <rEvolution27> I want it now! But I guess i'll wait... I had problems upgrading from dapper to edgy before
[06:04] <HorizonXP> YetiChick, Qwell[] : Now, how much can you guys help with the other ACPI settings? I can't get my laptop to suspend or hibernate properly... I'm running Feisty
[06:05] <Gambaroni> jhaig have you used PXE sometime?
[06:05] <_Neil> Hey guys, my pc fails to resume from suspend, submitted a bug report but heard nothing back.. any ideas?
[06:05] <_Neil> It hangs at a black screen
[06:05] <Qwell[] > _Neil: edgy?  yeah, you and me both
[06:05] <thoreauputic> _Neil: not enough information to say anything really
[06:06] <Yoriel> hi
[06:06] <Qwell[] > _Neil: on the plus side - it appears to be working in feisty now
[06:06] <jhaig> Gambaroni: Some time ago.
[06:06] <_Neil> Qwell[] : Awesome :)
[06:06] <Yoriel> hw i save the wireless passwd for my users accounts
[06:06] <Yoriel> ?
[06:06] <UberPsyX> YetiChick: can you have a quick look at the results of iwconfig and tell me if theres anything wrong?
[06:07] <YetiChick> rEvolution27: I can't get the ns83820 module to work properly with an SMC gigabit card under Feisty, although it works in other distributions.  Not sure about other Ubuntu distros, though.  Feisty is the only one I've used on this workstation.
[06:07] <Shenky> How to add 1024*768 option to resolution?....there exist this option in xorg.conf file.....but I still can't choose this option.
[06:07] <YetiChick> rEvolution27: Everything else is working wonderfully.
[06:08] <Qwell[] > SheaTara: 1024x768 - x, not *
[06:08] <YetiChick> UberPsyX:  Um...
[06:08] <gl8di8tor> Shenky: sudo dpgk-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:08] <wolfeon> is cleartype rendering disabled in Ubuntu 6.10 or 7.04?
[06:08] <Gambaroni> jhaig ok.. now it worked.. :P.. but it doesn't use pxeconfig.cf/default.. =/
[06:08] <YetiChick> UberPsyX:  Um...  I think I missed most of your earlier discussion.  Wireless problems?
[06:09] <UberPsyX> well kinda, i think its mostly working but i still cant get it to find aany connections
[06:09] <jhaig> Gambaroni: pxeconfig.cfg/default, you mean?
[06:09] <Shenky> I've already did it.... But there still doesn't exist this option.
[06:09] <UberPsyX> can you see anything in this that could be affecting it? :eth1 IEEE 802.11b/g ESSID:"OstridgeWireless" Nickname:"Broadcom 4318" Mode:Managed Access Point: Invalid RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Link Quality=0/100 Signal level=-256 dBm Noise level=-256 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid

[06:09] <Gambaroni> jhaig yes.. it tries with pxeconfig.cfg/mac and then some other number =/
[06:10] <Gambaroni> i will see if it tries default :P
[06:10] <jhaig> Silly question, maybe, but does pxeconfig.cfg/default exist?
[06:10] <Gambaroni> yes
[06:10] <Strzalek> gl8di8tor: thanks very much!
[06:10] <jhaig> Gambaroni: What was the error?
[06:10] <Strzalek> it works :)
[06:11] <jamesbrose> Hmm, I've got an AMD 64 cpu does this mean I have to have the x64 of ubuntu? Or will 32 bit work?
[06:11] <gl8di8tor> Strzalek: no Problem! :)
[06:11] <wolfeon> youd thingk people would be asking this question much and place the answer in the topic, heh
[06:11] <GoClick> How can I get Ubuntu to give me more detailed startup status than the progress meter, it hangs after Mounting Root Filesystem....OK with no error message
[06:11] <UberPsyX> YetiChick: how can i get it working
[06:11] <Pici> jamesbrose: 32bit will work fine
[06:11] <HorizonXP> Hey, anyone know why my laptop won't hibernate or suspend properly?
[06:11] <Strzalek> gl8di8tor: btw, do you know some app that let mee to crate fisheye menu - mac os x like ;) ?
[06:11] <UberPsyX> YetiChick: can you see anything in this that could be affecting it? :eth1 IEEE 802.11b/g ESSID:"OstridgeWireless" Nickname:"Broadcom 4318" Mode:Managed Access Point: Invalid RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Link Quality=0/100 Signal level=-256 dBm Noise level=-256 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid
[06:11] <HorizonXP> It doesn't seem to resume
[06:11] <UberPsyX> misc:0 Missed beacon:0
[06:11] <wolfeon> HorizonXP: the nvidia driver most likely
[06:11] <Qwell[] > HorizonXP: see above
[06:11] <jamesbrose> Pici, Its just i'm having a problem with the new kernel (when on 32bit) and was wondering if I switched to 64bit it would solve the problem? (Kernel panics...)
[06:11] <wolfeon> if you have one ;)
[06:11] <Qwell[] > bug reports that go unresolved ;)
[06:12] <HorizonXP> FAQ?
[06:12] <GoClick> How can I get Ubuntu to give me more detailed startup status than the progress meter, it hangs after Mounting Root Filesystem....OK with no error message
[06:12] <gl8di8tor> Strzalek: something like dock.... in synaptic ?
[06:12] <wolfeon> Qwell[] : do you know if cleartype rendering is enabled in ubuntu by default?
[06:12] <Qwell[] > wolfeon: no, I'm only here to find and flame the gnome package folks
[06:12] <UberPsyX> Qwell[] : can you look over my previous message and see if anythings wrong
[06:12] <Qwell[] > UberPsyX: see above
[06:12] <Gambaroni> jhaig now it uses default.. will see if it finds it.
[06:13] <HorizonXP> I don't get it, see above where?
[06:13] <Qwell[] > HorizonXP: it does that - and several bugs have been reported...  they've been ignored
[06:13] <Qwell[] > it works in feisty though
[06:13] <Pici> jamesbrose: It might, but then you'd have difficulty running proprietary binary packages that don't have 64bit versions/
[06:13] <UberPsyX> Qwell[] : where i cant see a reply?
[06:13] <Qwell[] > or, seemed to
[06:13] <Strzalek> gl8di8tor: hehe, I'm ubuntu user for ... half an hour :D What is synaptic? Is this that place where is firefox button as defult?
[06:14] <Shenky> How to add 1024*768 option to resolution?....there exist this option in xorg.conf file.....but I still can't choose this option. I've already done "sudo dpgk-reconfigure xserver-xorg" this configuration. But it doesn't work. Does there exist posible mistake or solution?
[06:14] <HorizonXP> you mean the NVidia driver? That sucks... cuz I do have an Nvidia driver, I had to revert back to the 96xx versions..
[06:14] <gl8di8tor> Strzalek: System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager
[06:14] <MrElendig> Strzalek: synaptics is an application that you can use to install about every other application you will ever need
[06:14] <thoreauputic> !synaptic | Strzalek
[06:14] <ubotu> Strzalek: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
[06:14] <Gambaroni> jhaig what is the default chown on /var/lib/tftpboot/?
[06:14] <Gambaroni> jhaig /var/lib/tftpboot*
[06:14] <YetiChick> UberPsyX:  I didn't catch most of your earlier discussion of this topic.  Is this an open network?
[06:14] <gl8di8tor> Strzalek: btw, i am a ubuntu nebwie (3 weeks), too
[06:15] <wolfeon> gnubs :P
[06:15] <jhaig> Gambaroni: I cannot remember, but I guess the user that runs tftp need read access on files and browse access on directories.
[06:15] <MrElendig> Shenky: what does xrandr say?
[06:15] <UberPsyX> YetiChick: im a noob, whats an open network? one with no WEP/ WPA things?
[06:15] <Gambaroni> jhaig ok.. what is nobody:nogroup then?
[06:16] <MrElendig> UberPsyX: usualy a non encrypted wlan with essid broadcast
[06:16] <jhaig> Gambaroni: Is that the owner/group of /var/lib/tftboot?
[06:16] <YetiChick> UberPsyX:  Yes.  No WEP/WPA.
[06:16] <MrElendig> and no login
[06:16] <Gambaroni> jhaig yes
[06:16] <UberPsyX> YetiChick: then yes
[06:16] <jhaig> Gambaroni: That's probably right.  tftp user is probably nobody.
[06:16] <Gambaroni> jhaig i followed a guide.. and that guide did that.. but seems to be wrong..
[06:16] <Shenky> MrElendig:
[06:16] <Shenky> SZ:    Pixels          Physical       Refresh

[06:16] <Shenky> Rotations possible - normal
[06:16] <Shenky> Reflections possible - none
[06:16] <usher_> I'm having some problems with my screen flickering and locking up in Feisty.
[06:16] <Gambaroni> jhaig no? :O it just works when i run with root
[06:16] <Strzalek> ubotu, nice mode :D
[06:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nice mode :d - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:17] <gl8di8tor> Strzalek: yeha, nice! :)
[06:17] <malcome> hi
[06:17] <MrElendig> you did ofcause, restart X after changing xorg.conf?
[06:17] <vieirar> h
[06:17] <jhaig> Gambaroni: There is a user called 'nobody' that has minimal rights and things like tftp run as this user.
[06:17] <Strzalek> gl8di8tor: I was trying to use Slack, but it was to hard for mee, and I download ubuntu
[06:17] <Strzalek> but now I see it's lame
[06:17] <Strzalek> :P
[06:17] <Gambaroni> jhaig i changed so in inetd.conf it says that root runs it
[06:18] <jhaig> What error did you see?  Could it find the default config file?
[06:18] <Shenky> MrElendig: Yes, not only restart X, but also restart computer
[06:18] <MrElendig> Strzalek: come, join the dark side, join arch :D
[06:18] <Gambaroni> jhaig really don't know.. It says: could not find kernel image: linux.
[06:18] <thoreauputic> Strzalek: great strategy to enter a distro channel for help and call the distro "lame"
[06:18] <MrElendig> yea
[06:18] <jhaig> Gambaroni: Where is the kernel image for the PXE boot?
[06:18] <Strzalek> MrElendig: no, I think that I will use ubuntu for while, and back to Slack ;)
[06:19] <Gambaroni> jhaig /var/lib/tftpboot/ubuntu-installer/i386/
[06:19] <jhaig> Gambaroni: What is the image called?  And what does it say it is called in the default config file?
[06:19] <Strzalek> thoreauputic: hmm, sorry. Mabye that becouse I my languange this word understand something else ;)
[06:19] <Strzalek> sorry
[06:19] <Strzalek> :P
[06:20] <Gambaroni> jhaig i will see in the config file.. it is called linux
[06:20] <tbuss> is there a certain place external css files need to be place in apache2?
[06:20] <thoreauputic> Strzalek: ah Ok - no worries :)
[06:20] <Strzalek> I'm form Poland - Did I made a lot of mistakes ?
[06:20] <Strzalek> hehe, It's my  first engilsh conversation :)
[06:20] <thoreauputic> Strzalek: no, you are doing fine :)
[06:20] <Gambaroni> jhaig config file says the same
[06:20] <Strzalek> good
[06:21] <jshriver> greetings :)
[06:21] <frandavid100> hiya
[06:21] <YetiChick> MrElendig: I like arch.  Thinking about trying it in more than a VM one day.  Maybe now.  I'm currently playing with Sabayon, but don't like it much, really.
[06:21] <frandavid100> sorry, how can I make Openoffice use the tango icons?
[06:21] <tbuss> is there a module that needs to be loaded for apache to handle style sheets?
[06:21] <jshriver> anyone know of a way from the cli to do string manipulation? sed?
[06:21] <UberPsyX> YetiChick:....so can you see anything wrong
[06:21] <Gambaroni> jhaig don't you have access to a computer to check what the standard owner and so on is :)? i think that's the problem.. maybe
[06:22] <MrElendig> jshriver: you answered your own question
[06:22] <kevman> Hi, my Xorg stopped working on boot... A series of green lines just appear beneath the logo. But if I boot into recovery mode and startx, it runs.
[06:22] <Strzalek> thoreauputic: ubuntu is like windows :D
[06:22] <Strzalek> but with terminal
[06:23] <Strzalek> ;)
[06:23] <YetiChick> UberPsyX:  Well, not specifically in that bit you posted.  I'd need to start over from scratch to help you much - and preferably while sitting at my laptop.
[06:23] <kevman> Making troubleshooting about impossible. How is KDM started?
[06:23] <anessen> <3 terminal
[06:23] <GigaClon> kubuntu is more like windows
[06:23] <thoreauputic> Strzalek: no, thank goodness, it is not at all like windows :)
[06:23] <GigaClon> or its all the good parts minus all the bad parts
[06:23] <UberPsyX> YetiChick, well Qwell[]  started to help then kinda started to ignore me
[06:24] <jshriver> MrElendig: I dont know sed :)
[06:24] <MrElendig> man sed
[06:24] <MrElendig> info sed
[06:24] <jshriver> How can I strip the extension off of a filename string
[06:24] <Epic720> how can I get gparted to see my raid array?
[06:24] <thoreauputic> UberPsyX: that's IRC - remeber there are over a thousand people here, and they are sometimes busy
[06:24] <YetiChick> UberPsyX:  It can be hard to help from remote, sometimes.
[06:24] <Gambaroni> jhaig now it had timeouted.. It says: "boot: " what would i like to put there?
[06:25] <treq> anyone been able to install vmware 1.02 on 7.04?
[06:25] <tbuss> is there a dir that external css have to load; /var/www/apache2-default does not work even if I link index.html to the same dir
[06:25] <MrElendig> UberPsyX: people ofthen have a life outside irc too :D
[06:25] <usher_> Epic720: I would like to know that answer to that question as well
[06:25] <UberPsyX> yer i know its just ive been trying to sort this out for about a month now
[06:25] <jshriver> say I have $i that stores a filename, how can I keep $i without the .ext
[06:25] <Epic720> can anyone help usher_ and I get gparted to see a raid array?
[06:25] <Strzalek> hmm, thoreauputic, ok, let's say, that is the most like windows among of all distros :P (ohh, my poor engilsh)
[06:25] <thoreauputic> treq: I would ask that in  #ubuntu+1
[06:25] <Strzalek> :P
[06:25] <kevman> Woo, I fixed it!
[06:25] <jshriver> right now I'm doing for i in $(ls); do whatever done;
[06:25] <YetiChick> UberPsyX:  For example, I'm sitting here in my office, eating lunch.  Food gets distracting.  :)
[06:26] <lazka> treq, try the vmware workstation beta.. that one worked for me without patching, workaround etc...
[06:26] <thoreauputic> Strzalek: I shudder when I hear the word "windows"
[06:26] <MrElendig> or vmware server
[06:26] <moosa> has anyone been having proplems with the search function on the forums?
[06:26] <MrElendig> that's even free as in free beer
[06:26] <Strzalek> thoreauputic: mee to so I started to search an alternative :)
[06:26] <treq> lazka, workstation is free?
[06:26] <UberPsyX> YetiChick, well im a 14 yr old trying to sort out my wifi connection while using the family pc to get help on an IRC
[06:26] <thoreauputic> Strzalek: :)
[06:26] <YetiChick> UberPsyX:  Have you confirmed that your wireless adapter is being recognized and loaded?
[06:27] <treq> i think it costs money
[06:27] <Strzalek> thoreauputic: hmm, for mee the best is to buy iMac
[06:27] <Strzalek> uummmm
[06:27] <lazka> treq, at least the beta.. dunno, just worked :P
[06:27] <Strzalek> I'm loving it :D
[06:27] <treq> k, lemme check :) thx
[06:27] <moosa> it seems that i dont have any matchs no matter what i type into the search box :(
[06:27] <velko> !offtopic | Strzalek
[06:27] <ubotu> Strzalek: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[06:28] <UberPsyX> YetiChick: well it comes up in the iwconfig and ndiswrapper says the driver and hardware are there but it wont find any networks and the lights on the back arent flashing
[06:28] <thoreauputic> Strzalek: we don't usually discuss other operating systems here - it is off topic for the channel
[06:28] <famir> Be Careful from thin kernel   2.6.17-11-generic
[06:28] <Strzalek> ups, sorry
[06:28] <usher_> where is the default location of totem, amule is telling me to assign a video player
[06:28] <famir> dont really works
[06:28] <Strzalek> I didn't know
[06:28] <tbuss> apache; where should I put style sheets for my pages, no matter what they still do not load
[06:28] <MrElendig> UberPsyX: iwlist <nic> scanning show up anyting?
[06:28] <Strzalek> so, my question - fisheye
[06:28] <Strzalek> like in osx
[06:29] <Strzalek> how to?
[06:29] <Epic720> does anyone know how to get gparted to see a raid array?
[06:29] <thoreauputic> Strzalek: well, just ask about ubuntu :) We are here to help with Ubuntu
[06:29] <UberPsyX> MrElendig: <nic>?
[06:29] <HorizonXP> hey, anyone know where i can find a full set of icons for Feisty that are better than the default?
[06:29] <HorizonXP> i love the tango set, but they seem old...
[06:30] <thoreauputic> HorizonXP:  gnome-look.org perhaps
[06:30] <lazka> usher_, try "/usr/bin/gnome-open" - that will open the video with your default application. totem is "/usr/bin/totem"
[06:30] <Weems> how do I tell grub to boot from hdb2 as my windows install?
[06:30] <tbuss> thanks everyone, you could of helped but instead you provided so much more.........like usual
[06:30] <usher_> lazka: Thanks!
[06:31] <jhaig> Gambaroni: Sorry, got distracted.  If I were you, I would check to see the name of the file it is trying to find as the kernel image.
[06:31] <Gambaroni> it says it looking for "linux"
[06:32] <feistyman> Hey, does anyone know the code for real audio plugin?
[06:32] <jhaig> Gambaroni: The kernel image isn't a sym link to a file somewhere else, is it?  That's a problem I remember having.
[06:32] <Strzalek> thoreauputic: so, I would like to create menu link in Mac OS X, like on this pct - http://jarzebski.pl/admin/store/publish/huge1.jpg
[06:33] <aliasxerog> yoyoyoyo
[06:33] <jamesbrose> think it would be to risks to upgrading from dapper to edgy to fiesty?
[06:33] <mojo> HI! At my house I am the LAN admin and the Linux guy.  I do a lot of work from time to time on my roomies and friends' drives.  I have mixed feelings about the UUID feature in fstab... it is not human-friendly, but it is damned convenient, as I understand it will let me properly mount any partition based on it's UUID regardless of where I plug it in.  QUESTION:  How do I get the UUID of a partition so I can set up my mount table to use it
[06:34] <mojo> on drives/partitions only occasionally plugged in???  THANKS!
[06:34] <jhaig> Gambaroni: And I cannot remember if you said.  Is the actual kernel image called linux?  Sorry if you have already said - it's not easy to find things with the traffic in this channel.
[06:34] <Gambaroni> jhaig ok.. what should it link to then?.. Could it be that it's missing nfs-user-server? It only to load it if i using root instead of nobody
[06:34] <Epic720> does anyone know how to get gparted to see a raid array?
[06:34] <aliasxerog> i need help
[06:34] <borogx> how do i install ai
[06:34] <Gambaroni> jhaig yes.. that is almost standard in the netboot.tar.gz..
[06:34] <aliasxerog> the wifi on my laptop is not happy...
[06:35] <MrElendig> Epic720: do you have a md* device in /dev?
[06:35] <YetiChick> UberPsyX:  Sorry for the delay.  Does your dmesg log show your wireless nic being assigned an interface?
[06:35] <jhaig> Gambaroni: It shouldn't link to anything.  That was the problem I had - the PXE boot could see the link but not the actual file.
[06:35] <mojo> jhaig: it helps if you converse with ppl (and they with you) if you put the nicks in your commentary... then you get beeped when something is written to you/ they when from you in many IRC clients
[06:35] <Epic720> MrElendig: Not sure what you mean. But the drives were originally formatted NTFS and I could mount them right now, what I want to do is format them to ext3.
[06:35] <Gambaroni> jhaig humm.. ok.. so how do I do then?
[06:36] <bikini> whats the command to check for system updates?
[06:36] <SlimeyPete> sudo apt-get update
[06:36] <mojo> jhaig: sry... i see you already do (doh)
[06:36] <Gambaroni> bikini apt-get update
[06:36] <jhaig> Gambaroni: Can you put the contents of your 'default' config file in a pastebin?
[06:36] <UberPsyX> YetiChick: My whatwhat does what to my whatwhat?!?!?
[06:37] <nikin> is there any tutorial, on how to maximize the battery life on ubuntu?
[06:37] <GoClick> I setup a software RAID1 while installing Ubuntu and now that machine if frooked up and I need to mount the RAID having booted to a liveCD how can I do this?
[06:37] <Gambaroni> yes
[06:38] <YetiChick> UberPsyX:  Your network interfaces will usually be assigned a name (like "eth0") when the devices are detected by their kernel drivers - or in your case ndiswrapper.
[06:38] <mojo> ALSO, do NTFS and VFAT partitions also have a UUID???  Is it a partition table feature or is it specific to certain file systems like ext2/3??
[06:38] <velko> mojo: tune2fs -l /dev/hdX | grep -i uuid
[06:38] <mojo> velko: thanks !
[06:39] <Stig> can someone help please? I am trying to download the latest nvidia drivers from this link: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_1.0-9755.html firefox asks where I want to save it, I click download and nothing seems to happen.... Is it the website or something wrong my end?
[06:39] <UberPsyX> YetiChick: well iwlist scan says eth1: scanning not supported but iwconfig lets me edit all th essid things
[06:39] <Stig> It does say "Right click and select "Save Target/Link As..." but I can't do that with firefox!
[06:40] <mojo> velko: so does that work for non ext2/3 filesystems?
[06:40] <anessen> Save Link As... is what you're looking for
[06:40] <Stig> Ohhhh weird.... The file is now on my desktop, but it didn't show in "downloads" in firefox or anything... :S
[06:40] <Gambaroni> jhaig http://paste.cplusplus.se/paste.php?id=5596
[06:41] <Epic720> does Gparted not support hardware raid 0>?
[06:41] <fotoflo> i routinely find my commandline # too long,  how do i put a \n before the #  ?
[06:41] <cyrenity> NetworkManager says "no device found" when configured for static ip
[06:41] <Stig> ah yes, save link does work... thanks.
[06:41] <velko> mojo: i have here only jfs and ex3. so i don't know the commands for win file systems. sorry
[06:41] <UberPsyX> YetiChick: i remember when i last got it working i ended up changing the name from eth1 to wlan0
[06:41] <Ubuntu_noob> hello room, can someone please help me to trigger scim to run in en locale ?
[06:42] <mojo> velko: thanks anyway... i'll try it out at next opportunity and see
[06:42] <velko> mojo: this command works definetly only for ext2/3 partitions
[06:42] <cyrenity> NetworkManager says "no device found" when configured for static ip
[06:42] <jhaig> Gambaroni: And what does "ls -l ubuntu-installer/i386/linux" give?
[06:42] <cyrenity> how do i resolve ti
[06:42] <mojo> velko: np i will google around or try ubuntu forums then
[06:42] <dave__> what would be some web cam programs for lan use and the network in linux
[06:43] <mojo> velko: just re-did my fstab and thought i'd find a quick answer
[06:43] <guillem101> fotoflo, adding \n at PS1 environment variable
[06:43] <dave__> any ideas
[06:43] <mojo> dave__: there are probably other solutions, but videolan server might do the trick
[06:44] <Epic720> if gparted won't work on my raid array, What program can I use to format my raid array in ext3?
[06:44] <dave__> thankx ill check it out
[06:44] <Gambaroni> jhaig it's actually a file.. maybe it doesn't is enought with this: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz?
[06:44] <dave__> mojo where would i find that
[06:44] <gils> hello, i am having some serious issues with aMSN today.? locks up my system!!
[06:44] <mojo> dave__: videolan.org i believe
[06:44] <MrElendig> that's normal for amsn
[06:44] <imdz> hello, i'm using ubuntu 7.04 and i have to use "sudo /etc/init.d/networking force-reload" to enable networking.
[06:45] <YetiChick> UberPsyX:  wlan0 is the more likely name for a wireless nic, but I'm not sure how Ubuntu is set up by default.  Try "sudo dmesg | grep eth" and see what it spits out.
[06:45] <mcdonaldswes> is there any way for me to tell what HZ is set to on a running system?
[06:45] <dave__> i think i can get it as a update
[06:45] <mcdonaldswes> I thought there was supposed to be /proc/sys/kernel/hz or something
[06:46] <fotoflo> guillem101 thanks!
[06:46] <jhaig> Gamberoni: I'm not sure.  Do you see the contents of boot.txt when you try to boot?
[06:46] <malcome> hi
[06:47] <malcome> hello
[06:47] <guillem101> fotoflo, I have to go, but here is my PS1: (sorry for the flood): \n\[\033\] \[\033\] \t\[\033\] \[\033\]  \u@\h\[\033\] \[\033\] 64 \[\033\] \[\033\] \w\[\033\] \n\$
[06:48] <UberPsyX> YetiChick: it says lots of stuff is there anything in particular im supposed to be looking for? btw earlier i said that eth 1 said scanning not supported, well it actually say no scan results
[06:48] <Epic720> if gparted won't work on my raid array, What program can I use to format my raid array in ext3?
[06:48] <malcome> when is newfiesty out
[06:48] <guillem101> (the 64 is because I'm now in 64bit, not in my 32bit chroot)
[06:48] <Gambaroni> jhaig nope.. i see this: http://syslinux.zytor.com/pxe.php#config that /mybootdir..... and a little bit of text before..
[06:48] <ReTyPe> how do i use mplayer plugin instead of totem as media player ?
[06:48] <fotoflo> guillem101: is this in /etc/profile or in .bash_profile?
[06:49] <GoClick>  setup a software RAID1 while installing Ubuntu and now that machine if frooked up and I need to mount the RAID having booted to a liveCD how can I do this?
[06:49] <GoClick> help meeeed
[06:49] <Gambaroni> jhaig and please try to highlight me, else i wouldn't see in this channel :P
[06:49] <GoClick> If I try and boot from the drives in the machine it kernel panics
[06:49] <zero88> Who hear can help me with a little scripting?
[06:50] <guillem101> fotoflo, in my case, at .bashrc, but your mileage may vary
[06:50] <guillem101> fotoflo, I really have to go... good luck!
[06:50] <fotoflo> ok thanks a
[06:50] <dave__> hey mojo
[06:50] <kbyte> hi everyone
[06:50] <kbyte> somebody can help me?
[06:50] <dave__> you there
[06:50] <dave__> just wanted to say thankx
[06:51] <YetiChick> UberPsyX:  "Scanning not supported" is not unusual, but, unfortunately, it doesn't help.  What interfaces does ifconfig show?  I just want to be sure we're working on the right interface.
[06:51] <velko> GoClick: assemble the array: mdadm -A /dev/md0 /dev/hdX /dev/hdY
[06:51] <velko> GoClick: mount the array: mount /dev/md0 /mnt/raid
[06:52] <GoClick> velko:  that didn't work
[06:52] <velko> GoClick: for what reason?
[06:52] <mojo> dave__: yeah dave?
[06:52] <GoClick> Oh I have to mount after madam?
[06:52] <UberPsyX> lo: scanning not supported
[06:52] <UberPsyX> xxx something else but still says scanning not supported
[06:52] <UberPsyX> eth1 and then its says that bit i typed earlier
[06:52] <jhaig> Gambaroni: What does "ps aux |grep tftp" give?  (I'm assuming the tftp daemon is called something with tftp in it.)
[06:52] <dave__> thankx i got it to work
[06:52] <zero88> Anyone know of a linux scripting channel?
[06:52] <Ind[y] > I know it is totally offtopic, but how can someone start using Usenet?
[06:53] <dave__> mojo ur the man
[06:53] <UberPsyX> YetiChick, gtg for tea be back after
[06:53] <YetiChick> UberPsyX:  Have fun.  :)
[06:54] <mojo> dave__: np man.  lol  though what if i was a hacker chick? lol
[06:54] <GoClick> so madam /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1?
[06:54] <Gambaroni> jhaig in.tftpd /var/lib/tftpdboot, but maybe i need the vmlinuz?
[06:54] <anessen> I'm trying to upgrade from Edgy to Feisty using Update Manager -c -d. All goes well, until it completes the "Modifying the software channels" stage. I get an error that says: Error during Update - Failed to fetch http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty-commercial/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2)
[06:54] <mojo> dave__: gl with vls though... i never tried it, but i use vlc (vidoelan client) as my primary media player
[06:54] <Gambaroni> jhaig or is it the same as linux?
[06:55] <GoClick> velko ?
[06:55] <velko> GoClick: what?
[06:55] <cara> Ok I have another issue, ubuntu isn't recognizing my hard disk. Per the Howto presented by someone on the ubuntu forum I passed the pci=nomsi option upon boot but I'm presented with an error stating there's no such option.  What is the option get ubuntu to recognize my sata hard disk?
[06:55] <jhaig> Gambaroni: The kernel image is sometimes called vmlinuz.
[06:55] <mojo> dave__: only gripe i have is that it doesn't work with gnome vfs so i can't browse the winshares and play media without explicitly mounting the winshare.
[06:56] <mojo> dave__: i have roomies on my lan with win boxen
[06:56] <GoClick> So as root I go madam /dev/md0 /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb2 and then mount /dev/md0 /mnt/myfolder and I don't need to tell it that it's RAID1 or block sizes or anything?
[06:56] <velko> GoClick: you don't
[06:56] <dave__> sweet deal
[06:56] <velko> GoClick: it should just work
[06:56] <dave__> win boxen what is that
[06:56] <Gambaroni> jhaig ok. what the heck could be wrong =/
[06:56] <GoClick> madam command not found
[06:56] <Gambaroni> jhaig maybe permissions to the folder?
[06:57] <Epic720> velko: if I do that also, would I be able to format my raid 0 array in ext3?
[06:57] <dave__> see i have 4 linux and 4 windows pc and i need to get a video confrence goin on between them
[06:57] <velko> GoClick: and include my nick in your posts, so that i see them highlighted. i don't look the whole time here
[06:57] <jhaig> Gambaroni: I'd check the tftp configuration, and make sure that it is running.  Is it running through inetd?  Have you restarted inetd since configuring tftpd?
[06:57] <jhaig> Gambaroni: Could be the permissions.
[06:57] <velko> Epic720: yes
[06:57] <GoClick> velko: The live CD doesn't seem to have madam :(
[06:57] <cheiron> does anyone in here use TurboPrint?
[06:58] <jhaig> Gambaroni: To test it you could (temporarily) change permissions to 777 (but change them all back afterwards, as it is not secure)
[06:58] <dave__> mojo what is win boxen
[06:58] <velko> GoClick: strange. it should have it because you installed from it. or?
[06:58] <mojo> dave__: windows boxes... they run windows xp on their computers, so they have windows (smb/cifs) shares with their media on them.  i can browse the network and see their stuff and totem will play it cuz it recognises gnome virutal file system pathnames.  but for vlc i have to make a mount point and mount the windows share first
[06:58] <Epic720> velko: the command is: madam /dev/mdo /dev/sda /dev/sdb then mount /dev/md0?
[06:58] <Sjogren> Hello fellas! Now.. I'm going to try to change the DVD-Rom firmware in my Xbox 360.. I've found tons of tutorials on the net, but nothing for Linux.. :S Anyone of you know how to do it?
[06:58] <GoClick> velko:  I'm booted to a live CD, I tried running synaptic and it doesn't have anything for "madam" when I search either
[06:59] <dave__> okay sweet deal
[06:59] <Gambaroni> jhaig ok.. how do I see the current permissions then? yes i have rebooted all the times.. it is running through the inetd and running as root.. Does the owner and group matter then?
[06:59] <velko> Epic720: i suggest you read before you do this. -A means "assemble" and the name is md0 and not mdo. don't execute blindly commands you don't understand
[06:59] <abruzzi> I need help reinstalling grub
[06:59] <fotoflo> alias addalias="echo alias $1="$2" >> ~/.bash_profile"
[06:59] <velko> GoClick: do you execute it as root (sudo)?
[07:00] <jhaig> Gambaroni: ls -l
[07:00] <fotoflo> how do i make that work?
[07:00] <leticiareyes> a
[07:00] <mojo> dave__: it's not hard to do but my one roomie for whatever reason keeps having to reinstall his windows and he never makes the share names exactly the same.  poor bastard.  it's the only way he knows how to tech support his own windows.  and i'm not always around so ZAP, he just reinstalls, like every other week.  lol
[07:00] <Gambaroni> jhaig drwxr-xr-r is it now
[07:01] <dave__> wat a fool
[07:01] <Epic720> velko: I can't find anything on madam, and it's nowhere in synaptic
[07:01] <dave__> he should take som elession from you
[07:01] <mojo> dave__: well hey be kind.  he was in a car wreck and suffered a coma, so he's not the sharpest tool in the shed.  but it is not his fault
[07:01] <jhaig> Well, with read access it should be OK.  It shouldn't need anything else.
[07:01] <Gambaroni> jhaig ok.. i try anyway =)
[07:02] <velko> Epic720: i use debian and here the package is named "mdadm". i don't know for sure about ubuntu. do a "apt-cache search mdadm"
[07:02] <dave__> sory about and thanks again for the help
[07:02] <Solitarius> Greetings all and thanks you for reading me.  Is there a way to call the network setup routine of the installation once the initial installation is done?
[07:02] <mojo> dave__: well as he would say "it's all good man"  ;)
[07:03] <jhaig> Gambaroni: Can you pastebin the tftp config file?
[07:03] <abruzzi> I have Grub Error 17 after resizing the ext3 partition

[07:03] <Gambaroni> jhaig where is it? i haven't changed that i think :$
[07:04] <velko> Epic720: i just did a search on packages.ubuntu.org and it suggest that the package is named "mdadm" in edgy
[07:04] <Epic720> ok thanks
[07:04] <mojo> Epic720: ktuberling... i love it!  our living room computer is named spudnik with user names like tuber and couchpotato, lol
[07:04] <velko> Epic720: http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=mdadm&searchon=names&subword=1&version=edgy&release=all
[07:04] <jhaig> Gambaroni: Somewhere in /etc?
[07:04] <mojo> Epic720: or actually it is toober
[07:05] <Gambaroni> jhaig cannot find it =/
[07:05] <Gambaroni> jhaig how do I search =)?
[07:05] <N0xTrUm> hello
[07:06] <Epic720> velko: Does mdadm (or madam) only work on software raid? I have hardware raid.....
[07:06] <jhaig> Gambaroni: Try: find /etc -name "*ftp*"
[07:06] <velko> Epic720: it implements software raid
[07:06] <Epic720> ok
[07:07] <velko> Epic720: i don't know about hw raid. so don't take my word for it
[07:07] <Solitarius> So uhm, what would be the proper way to make a clean network setup.  Is editing the /etc/network/interface at hand recommended?

[07:08] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[07:08] <Gambaroni> jhaig it is just: RUN_DEAMON="yes" and OPTIONS="-l -s /var/lib/tftpboot"
[07:09] <sogen> #ubuntu-pl
[07:10] <Ayabara> there is no equalizer or ffmpeg post processing in totem?
[07:11] <YetiChick> Solitarius:  Have you tried the network settings control panel?
[07:11] <xocet> Anyone have time for a quick question?
[07:11] <anessen> any ideas on how to fix Failed to fetch "http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty-commercial/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2)" while updating to Feisty in Update Manager?
[07:11] <dunstabulos_> !ask > xocet

[07:11] <Neuling> I get no sound my soundcard is sis si7012 what should i do? can anybody please help me
[07:12] <Solitarius> YetiChick:  I've installed the server edition.  I don't have graphical interface.
[07:12] <badzo> Hello.
[07:12] <hjt> hi
[07:12] <ardchoille> Hi
[07:13] <GoClick> How do I mount an NTFS5 partition as writable?
[07:13] <badzo> not possible IMO
[07:13] <xocet> It's risky to mount any NTFS partition as writeable
[07:13] <Lunar_Lamp> I installed edgy onto an LVM2 partition system on my server, with a separate /boot partition (hda1).  I've upgraded to feisty, and I can't get it to boot.  I just get told that hdaX does not exist, whatever partition number I put down there.
[07:13] <ardchoille> !ntfs-3g
[07:13] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but please remember to keep backups of critical data. Installation instructions at http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710 (Dapper) and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009/ (Edgy)
[07:14] <Neuling> I get no sound my soundcard is sis si7012 what should i do? can anybody please help me
[07:14] <YetiChick> Solitarius:  Then, yes, you'd probably be best to edit /etc/network/interfaces by hand.
[07:14] <crimsun> Neuling: pastebin your output from http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems
[07:14] <Epic720> Goclick: I mounted my NTFS raid 0 array using ntfs-3g... but now I have write I/O errors and am forced to reformat
[07:14] <Neuling> ok thanks
[07:15] <xocet> I'm having trouble getting the side button on my MS Optical Mouse 4000 to be recognized properly in X. The scroll wheel works fine (Option ZAxisMapping 4 5), but regardless of how I set the "Buttons" option, the side button doesn't do anything. If I don't set the Buttons option (protocol auto or IMPS/2) the side button acts as a right-click.
[07:16] <Solitarius> YetiChick:  Okiedokie.  I was heading that way but was wondering is there was another way.  I'll dig interfaces(5) and do that.  Thanks.
[07:16] <YetiChick> Solitarius:  Although, I'm surprised that there is not a setup script for post install configuration.  Have you tried searching for something like "setup.sh" or simply "setup"?
[07:17] <badzo> I have low FPS playing Enemy Territory, with all details low. It was OK before I re-installed Ubuntu. I tried to install closed drivers for my ATI Card, but it didn't help. What else should I do?
[07:18] <UberPsyX> YetiChick: back now
[07:18] <Solitarius> YetiChick:  I was looking for a dpkg-reconfigure.  But, hmm, maybe a standard shell script.  I didn't think of that.  Do you know where the setup script might be?
[07:18] <UberPsyX> YetiChick: what do i do now then?
[07:19] <xgermx> can anyone confrm the name of Fiesty +1
[07:19] <Pici> xgermx: Gutsy Gibbon
[07:19] <xgermx> i thought they were kidding
[07:19] <xgermx> ok
[07:19] <mzanfardino> I've an Ubunut 6.06 server installed and I want to add a very light wieght GUI.  I'm looking to install xcfe4, which is easy enough.  However, once it's installed, how do I initiate the GUI?
[07:20] <gate> GATEway21
[07:20] <tonyyarusso> mzanfardino: If you install xubuntu-desktop you get gdm
[07:20] <tonyyarusso> otherwise, 'startxfce4'
[07:20] <YetiChick> Solitarius:  While I've been using Linux for a very, very long time, I'm new to Ubuntu.  A little Googling has turned up multiple references to a script named setup.sh.  Maybe that's what you're looking for?
[07:20] <mzanfardino> tonyyarusso: I'm trying to avoid installing the whole xubuntu-desktop as I don't need all the extras.
[07:20] <tommy1987> Anyone got problems with frostwire?
[07:20] <xocet> No ideas for how to configure xorg.conf for a mouse with side buttons?
[07:20] <tonyyarusso> mzanfardino: then 'startxf<tab>' should do fine
[07:20] <tonyyarusso> !mouse | xocet

[07:21] <uczen> \;doijf;P
[07:21] <uczen> :)
[07:21] <uczen> ??
[07:21] <YetiChick> Solitarius:  Although those seem to be related to the VM version of the server.
[07:21] <mzanfardino> tonyyarusso: yeah, I thought that was it too, but I'm getting a message that another X sesison has already been started (might have been me when, after running xorg-configure I attempted to test with X -config /etc/xorg/xorg.config.new as is suggested following the xorg-configure.
[07:21] <Gambaroni> jhaig it is just: RUN_DEAMON="yes" and OPTIONS="-l -s /var/lib/tftpboot"
[07:22] <mzanfardino> tonyyarusso: now however I can't seem to kill the previous X session
[07:22] <tonyyarusso> mzanfardino: ps aux | grep X, and kill it
[07:22] <UberPsyX> YetiChick: hello again, any ideas on how to fix the wifi troubles?
[07:22] <Solitarius> YetiChick:  I'll go do some which and some locate.  We'll see if that work and if I can make it work!
[07:22] <tonyyarusso> mzanfardino: use kill -9 if necessary
[07:22] <mzanfardino> tonyyarusso: yeah, tried that too, but I'm not seeing any processes for X... it's very strange
[07:22] <YetiChick> Solitarius:  Good luck.
[07:23] <UberPsyX> YETICHICK!!!!!!!!!!!
[07:23] <xocet> tonyyarusso: You've tried just restarting?
[07:23] <UberPsyX> lol are you there!!
[07:23] <YetiChick> UberPsyX:  I'm here, don't yell.  :)
[07:23] <tonyyarusso> xocet: huh what now?
[07:24] <UberPsyX> YetiChick: lol
[07:24] <UberPsyX> YetiChick: any ideas?
[07:24] <jhaig> Gambaroni: I'm sorry, but without actually looking at the machine myself, I'm not sure I can be much more help.
[07:24] <xocet> Tonyyarusso: Reboot the machine, instead of tracking down the process, so long as you're convinced that the existing X process was something you created yourself while troubleshooting
[07:25] <Gambaroni> jhaig what machine do you want to look at? and if you got time, you can get root access
[07:25] <xan_> Hi,
[07:25] <YetiChick> UberPsyX:  Trying to think of an answer that might help, but without my laptop here, I'm not familiar enough to help with wireless stuff from memory.  It also doesn't help that at the moment my workstation is booted into Sabayon Linux.
[07:25] <jhaig> Gambaroni: It seems to have made contact to the PXE server, so DHCP and networking works, but it cannot find the config file for some reason.
[07:25] <xocet> Sorry ;)
[07:25] <Gambaroni> jhaig yes.. or the kernel image..
[07:25] <xan_> I just want to make a question: how to disable that at startup ubuntu check other file system than / ?
[07:25] <xocet> mzanfardino: Reboot ;)
[07:26] <jhaig> Gambaroni: Well, I don't really have time - and giving root access to random people you meet on IRC is not generally a good idea.  :-)
[07:26] <Gambaroni> jhaig i know.. but i trust you.. and it's just a test machine anyway
[07:26] <UberPsyX> YetiChick: ok its just really annoying that ive had it working once and now i cant get it working
[07:26] <ninebelow> anyone have an idea why my digital camera can't import photos anymore
[07:26] <ninebelow> get the following error:
[07:26] <jhaig> Gambaroni: You could look in /var/log for any hints.
[07:26] <ninebelow> 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.
[07:27] <psycho78> any tips on what to do when ubuntu freezes up and becomes unresponsive? I hate having to just kill the power. Any key combos or anything? ctrl + alt + backspace & alt + f2 don't do anything.
[07:27] <YetiChick> UberPsyX:  Oh, I know how annoying that can be.  Look, I'll try to remember to bring my laptop to the office tomorrow.  Maybe I'll be able to help more then.
[07:27] <Gambaroni> jhaig client does not accept options :O
[07:28] <UberPsyX> YetiChick: oh ok thanks a lot youve helped me a lot already
[07:28] <HorizonXP> hey guys, I have a question about deskbar-applet and beagle
[07:28] <dunstabulos_> psycho78: do you have another machine handy? ssh into the machine if you do?
[07:28] <YetiChick> UberPsyX:  I can't promise it will help.  :)
[07:28] <UberPsyX> YetiChick: is there anything i could google that could bring up anything that could help?
[07:28] <HorizonXP> it seems that when I search for anything, it finds stuff, but I can't open it.... It returns an error saying it cannot open the file, etc
[07:28] <dunstabulos_> (& have ssh install)
[07:29] <psycho78> dunstabulos_: no, I don't. It doesn't happen very often, but I just wanted to know if there was a trick to get around it.
[07:29] <YetiChick> UberPsyX:  Well, I'd start with ndiswrapper.  I've never liked it much.  I much prefer native drivers.
[07:29] <xan_> ?
[07:29] <dunstabulos_> HorizonXP: what is the exact error given, and is this for any file? can you open the file from nautilus?
[07:29] <YetiChick> UberPsyX:  What do you see in the network settings control panel?  I mean, is the nic recognized there as wireless?
[07:29] <dunstabulos_> psycho78: well, if you cannot kill X or switch to a VT i don't think anything will break you out
[07:30] <UberPsyX> YetiChick: yer
[07:30] <jusama14> Hey what's a good video editing software for linux??
[07:30] <mzanfardino> tonyyarusso: I'm hoping not to have to reboot as this is my vmserver and I have active vm's...
[07:30] <xan_> Please, how to make fsck _only_ check / at boot?
[07:30] <UberPsyX> YetiChick: well it says eth1 is wireless
[07:30] <psycho78> dunstabulos_: thanks for the info
[07:31] <equilibri1> hi, does anybody know how to set Thunderbird to be a default email client?
[07:31] <dunstabulos_> psycho78: sorry i couldn't be more helpful
[07:31] <jusama14> Hey what's a good video editing software for linux??
[07:31] <YetiChick> UberPsyX:  You do know that the SSID is case sensitive, right?
[07:31] <dunstabulos_> jusama14: diva?
[07:31] <_Neil> equilibri1: system > prefs > preferred apps
[07:31] <jusama14> diva? good?
[07:31] <sogen> Hi
[07:31] <UberPsyX> YetiChick: Yup :P
[07:31] <Gambaroni> jhaig what could cause that :O?
[07:32] <equilibri1> _Neil: Great, thx!
[07:32] <YetiChick> UberPsyX:  Just checking.  I've had that one bite a few of my cleints.  :)

[07:32] <_Neil> equilibri1: np :)
[07:32] <jusama14> is diva free? where can i get it?
[07:32] <jhaig> Gambaroni: Sorry, I have to go.  Try Googling for some of the messages you find in /var/log relating to tftp.
[07:32] <YetiChick> UberPsyX:  If you're broadcasting, it shouldn't matter, anyway.
[07:32] <jhaig> Gambaroni: http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2003-June/002093.html <- This, maybe?
[07:33] <biblio> olaaaaaaaaaaa
[07:33] <sogen> can someone help me with cd rw ?
[07:33] <HorizonXP> dunstabulos_: It's for any file... For a file, it's for example, "Cannot Show URL:  'file://file%3A///home/xitij/School/ECE%2520332'"
[07:33] <Gambaroni> jhaig nothing to worry about =) :P
[07:33] <HorizonXP> dunstabulos_: Couldn't find "/file:/home/xitij/School". Please check the spelling, for a folder
[07:34] <UberPsyX> YetiChick: well i have a modem/router wired via ethernet cable to the family pc (windows), then i have a wireless desktop pci card in my (ubuntu) pc
[07:34] <jusama14> Hey, where can i get DIVA?

[07:35] <YetiChick> UberPsyX:  Well, the only obvious suggestion I can make right now is to double check and make sure that your SSID *exactly* matches.
[07:36] <andres__> OLA NEIL
[07:36] <jusama14> I don't see either of these in package manager
[07:36] <andres__> ESQ NO ME PUEDO CONECTAR NI AL AMSN NI AL GAIM

[07:36] <dunstabulos_> HorizonXP: file a bug in malone
[07:36] <LikwidN2> Hey, I've been searching and I can't find an answer to my specific question. I have the Live CD, and I'm looking to install Ubuntu onto a small partition on my secondary hard drive. Is there anyone that can point me in the right direction? I don't want to waste your time explaining if there's a pre-written answer somewhere.
[07:36] <HorizonXP> dunstabulos_: Boo....
[07:36] <UberPsyX> YetiChick: what do you mean? the ssid on my router and the ssid in the settings in "networking"
[07:37] <YetiChick> Solitarius:  Sorry.  I usually dig right into the files first thing, so I never discover the config scripts 'til later.  If I find one, I'll let you know.  :)
[07:37] <andres__> OK, HI IM FROM SPAIN, I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE AMSN AND THE GAIM, IN LINUX
[07:37] <HorizonXP> dunstabulos: I know Python decently enough, I think I isolated the problem down to which line was casuing the probelm
[07:37] <andres__> I CANT CONECT
[07:37] <_Neil> What happens when you try?
[07:37] <Hory> what's the default password that ubuntu sets when sharing folders on SMB (windows network)?
[07:37] <_Neil> No need to SHOUT btw ;)
[07:37] <cara> Ubuntu does not recognize my hard drive, I have a Hitachi SATA hard disk, I passed the acpi=force irqpoll and it still didn't find it.  Am I missing something?
[07:37] <dunstabulos_> HorizonXP: try to fix it, see if it works!
[07:37] <kubuntu_newbie> so can anyone help me with my wireless problem?
[07:37] <HorizonXP> dunstabulos_: I did
[07:37] <andres__> WHAT? I DONT UNDESTANT
[07:37] <HorizonXP> dunstabulos_: It didn't work
[07:37] <jusama14> dunstabulos_, I got LIVES cant figure out how to install it
[07:37] <andres__> I KNOW A FEW OF ENGLISH
[07:37] <tcpip4lyfe> lol
[07:37] <matej> i upgraded kernel, now nvidia drivers dont works anymore. What to do?
[07:38] <UberPsyX> YetiChick: ok ill see if i can find something helpful via 'google'ing
[07:38] <Solitarius> YetiChick:  I'll do the same! :-)
[07:38] <Juhaz> andres__, DON'T SHOUT
[07:38] <YetiChick> UberPsyX:  Yes.  The last time I had someone with this problem, she was using "MyBusiness" in her client settings and "mybusiness" on her router.
[07:38] <iulian_> hi
[07:38] <andres__> OK
[07:38] <HorizonXP> dunstabulos_: Basically, Beagle seems to store its URIs as file://....
[07:38] <cara> matej try reinstalling the nvidia drivers?
[07:38] <_Neil> andres__: Are you firewalled?
[07:38] <iulian_> Is it possible to start my computer remote?
[07:38] <_Neil> Try this:
[07:38] <andres__> NO
[07:38] <UberPsyX> YetiChick: ok, cya later
[07:38] <HorizonXP> dunstabulos_: the deskbar-applet Beagle-Live plugin wants to prepened that with another file://
[07:38] <_Neil> Accounts > Your Msn Account (MSN) > Edit Account
[07:38] <matej> cara, tried
[07:38] <cara> if you update the kernel you'll have to reinstall nvidia drivers, that's what I've always done
[07:39] <dunstabulos_> HorizonXP: yeah, that's what it looks like
[07:39] <_Neil> andres__: Then click advanced
[07:39] <marco_linux> hi
[07:39] <_Neil> tick use http method
[07:39] <HorizonXP> dunstabulos_: I try doing string manipulations to remove the extraneous file://... but no dice
[07:39] <HorizonXP> dunstabulos_: I don't know Python THAT well

[07:39] <jester626>  (failed to start).
[07:39] <dunstabulos_> jusama14: look it up
[07:39] <jester626> Any ideas what to look at?
[07:40] <ScottyK> What's the best kind of blank DVD to use to burn 6.10? I've tried two so far and both are just a bit small

[07:40] <kitche> jester626: umm something is using that address already use a different one
[07:40] <marco_linux> Is anyone having problems writing DVDs using GnomeBaker?
[07:40] <cara> sigh, I may just go with gentoo.. I was trying ubuntu because I wanted to see what the rave about but I can't even get it too recognize my hard disk.
[07:40] <jester626> you mean reconfigure my IP address of my internal NIC?
[07:41] <Mohoho> I just did a fresh install of ubuntu and it can't connect to msn through gaim... it says servers are down but they aren't as I can connect through webservices (Ebuddy etc)... what gives?
[07:41] <Mohoho> password and e-mail are right for sure
[07:41] <dunstabulos_> HorizonXP: file a bug against the deskbar
[07:41] <HorizonXP> yeah, i guess I'll have to
[07:41] <kitche> Mohoho: doesn't mean the gaim stuff is down since gaim doesn't exist anymore
[07:41] <_Neil> hmmm
[07:42] <Mohoho> kitche: Huh? Gaim doesn't exist?
[07:42] <_Neil> Mohoho: Same here
[07:42] <HorizonXP> dunstabulos_: I wish i could fix it... It worked so nicely in Edgy
[07:42] <_Neil> I think there are issues
[07:42] <_Neil> Mine was working 1hr ago
[07:42] <bean-oh> Mohoho, gaim is called pidgin now
[07:42] <Agrajag> Mohoho: http://pidgin.im
[07:42] <Mohoho> I'll try again around 4 then
[07:42] <dunstabulos_> HorizonXP: or you could post the relevant code to a pastebin, and i'll have a look, but i'm more of a perl man than a python
[07:42] <_Neil> Mohoho: Think MSN is dead :)
[07:42] <Mohoho> well, why doesn't ubuntu have the latest pidgin
[07:42] <Mohoho> will it get it
[07:42] <kitche> Mohoho: it's called Pidgin now
[07:42] <Mohoho> through update?
[07:42] <moxie0> Anyone have experience using xvfb on a headless dapper server?
[07:43] <marco_linux> MSN is dead now.
[07:43] <jontec> okay, I've got a serious problem. I just used the ubuntu live cd 6.06 and gparted to attempt to force a chkdsk on my windows partition by resizing the drive. However, this partition had an unsanitary journal and now I have a two partitions of unknown format in gparted.... can someone help me here or is there someplace else that I should go?
[07:43] <HorizonXP> Are they going to get Pidgin into Feisty?
[07:43] <bean-oh> Mohoho,  we do, gaim 2beta 6 is the current pigdin. its just not there in name.
[07:43] <Mohoho> woahwtf msn just retried and connected
[07:43] <jusama14> hey i got checkinstall
[07:43] <dunstabulos_> Mohoho: when the package is updated they may change the name
[07:43] <jusama14> lol cant get it to run haha
[07:43] <_Neil> Mohoho: same here, scary
[07:43] <Mohoho> msn died for a few mins I guess
[07:44] <dunstabulos_> Mohoho: unlikely to happen until Fiesty or Fiesty+1

[07:44] <ScottyK> What's the best kind of blank DVD to use to burn 6.10? I've tried two so far and both are just a bit small. using Nero 6.12 for the burn
[07:44] <Mohoho> Can I run a netupdate to get the feisty beta off of edgy 6.10?
[07:44] <_Neil> bean-oh: apparently no pidgin till Fiesty+1
[07:45] <bean-oh> _Neil, doesn't really matter, its just a name change at this point.
[07:45] <HorizonXP> dunstabulos_: Ok, i"m putting it into the paste bin, gimme a sec

[07:49] <kitche> seashell11: turn off the kdm script
[07:49] <yell0w> jontec, there's a couples of things that imight do if i were you but i'm not very sure that it won't break something
[07:50] <seashell11> Ok, that will stop all kde apps from running? Unless I typ in kdm?

[07:51] <eidolon> hi folks - i have a user with a 6.1 ubuntu CD... they need to get the ndiswrapper off the cd (they see it under pool/main/n/ndiswrapper).  how do you install it?  looks like apt-get only is referring to net resources (and the reason he needs ndiswrapper is to bring up his network)
[07:51] <kitche> seashell11: sudo chmod -x /etc/init.d/kdm is one way
[07:51] <Tomcat_> eidolon: With "sudo apt-cdrom add", you can add CDs to the apt database.
[07:51] <GoClick> How can I install PostgreSQL 8.1 when 8.2 is all synaptic shows me?
[07:51] <eidolon> hmm.
[07:52] <seashell11> Ok, Thanks!
[07:52] <eidolon> so insert the ubuntu cd, sudo apt-cdrom add, then apt-get install ndiswrapper?
[07:52] <eidolon> (with appropriate sudos in tehre)

[08:19] <MikeyMike> hey can anyone tell me what dhclient does? i have no earthly idea what its for.. but my girlfriend uses it to get her usb-wifi device working in edgy.... she claims someone told her to just run dhclient and it will magically fix everything... well it works.... but sometimes dhclient binds her to random ip's.... can someone explain what dhclient is .....
[08:19] <dwellshere> ok, thanks guyes
[08:19] <dwellshere> guys
[08:19] <dwellshere> and especially that charming ubotu
[08:19] <HymnToLife> !dhcp | MikeyMike
[08:19] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dhcp - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:19] <MikeyMike> i know what dhcp is......
[08:19] <MarcN> MikeyMike: it asks a dhcpd server for an ip address and applies it to your nic
[08:20] <MikeyMike> MarcN,  ok but how does it know which dhcp server to ask?
[08:20] <mbt> MikeyMike, DHCP dynamically asks for IP addresses.  That's what dhclient does.
[08:20] <dunstabulos_> HorizonXP: i am now, had things to do irl
[08:20] <Lazyguy> I've downloaded the beta and it works fine, if a little slow. The only problem was, it crashed during a session, so I restarted. When I start Ubuntu again, however, it makes me log in. But I don't know the password for the root account! Will I have to re-burn my CD?
[08:20] <MikeyMike> how does dhclient have the authority to assign an ip inside a router's network?
[08:20] <MarcN> MikeyMike: you don't get to choose.  Whichever dhcpd answers on the network first.
[08:20] <MikeyMike> its NOT the router.....
[08:20] <HorizonXP> dunstabulos_: that's cool, as do i, studying for exams.. take ur time :)
[08:20] <mbt> MikeyMike, It's in the DHCP protocol.  A broadcast request goes out, and the server answers (if there are multiple servers, the quickest one is the one that it gets the IP from).
[08:20] <MikeyMike> MarcN,  ok so you cant point it?
[08:21] <kane77> MikeyMike, it doesnt realy fix wifi :) it only assigns you an IP adress (provided that your ISP uses dhcp)
[08:21] <MarcN> MikeyMike: dhclient asks for an address.
[08:21] <mbt> MarcN, I must be typing really slow today.  :)
[08:21] <MikeyMike> ok so basically she has more than one dhcp enabled router or pc assigning ip's.... (it's a network mess)
[08:21] <Organizm> perfect, tgelter.  that worked like a charm.
[08:21] <dunstabulos_> HorizonXP: pastebin link?
[08:21] <bart__> hello everyone. I'm having big trouble getting my ATI radeon 9600 TE to work with 3D... Is there someone who can get me in the right direction ? I've been through some howto's and stuff...
[08:21] <macpo3> or your wireless router / cm / whatever
[08:21] <HymnToLife> ubotu, dhcp is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol a protocol for automatic IP assignment from a router. Ubuntu uses dhclient as a DHCP client but other ones (and DHCP servers too) can be obtained from the !repos. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCP
[08:21] <elubie> Can anyone give me some hints on what I can do to find out what the problem with the network is?
[08:21] <YetiChick> MikeyMike:  If it's wifi, she's probably getting addresses from more than one open wireless network.
[08:21] <kane77> mtb, me too :) but I just had couple of beers :)
[08:21] <elubie> even ping doesn't work
[08:22] <Web> kitche check your query.. i slap you with problem
[08:22] <MikeyMike> how can you make it force to a router
[08:22] <MikeyMike> is there any way to force dhclient to look at one server?
[08:22] <mbt> MikeyMike, Only have one server on the network.
[08:22] <kane77> elubie, what device do you use?
[08:22] <HorizonXP> dunstabulos_: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15251/
[08:22] <Pici> MikeyMike: Is it a wireless adapter?
[08:22] <Lazyguy> Or is there a default password for root?
[08:22] <MikeyMike> its wifi mbt
[08:22] <vox754> !dhcp
[08:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dhcp - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:22] <macpo3> dhcp will normally just find the local server
[08:22] <Pici> Lazyguy: There is no password for root, use sudo instead
[08:22] <MikeyMike> yes its a USB wifi adapter
[08:22] <MikeyMike> so she might be picking up neighbors.....
[08:22] <mbt> MikeyMike, Yep.  Regardless, if you control the WiFi network, then only have one DHCP server on it.
[08:23] <YetiChick> MikeyMike: Well, you'll probably want to set up the wifi network to only use a specific SSID rather than just activating the first one it sees.
[08:23] <macpo3> in a home wireless network, that's normally your home router
[08:23] <w3ccv> elubie, you have to tell us what your network problem really is - don't work - doesn't say much
[08:23] <mbt> MikeyMike, Then restrict the WiFi to use your network, named by it's network ID (SSID).
[08:23] <Web> kitche ...
[08:23] <MikeyMike> mbt in what? the router?
[08:23] <MikeyMike> im slightly confused here.....
[08:23] <dunstabulos_> HorizonXP: try this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15257/
[08:23] <tgelter> Oranizm: glad to hear it
[08:23] <dunstabulos_> i dont have beagle installed
[08:23] <mbt> MikeyMike, No.  The client.  The router broadcasts the SSID.  THe client seeks it out and connects to it.
[08:23] <MikeyMike> right
[08:23] <Lazyguy> Does sudo have the same priveliges as root?
[08:23] <MikeyMike> but she's using edgy with dhclient and usb wifi adaptor..... how
[08:24] <Organizm> Lazyguy, it depends who the user is
[08:24] <macpo3> mikeymike, sounds like you need a basic wireless networking faq / howto
[08:24] <MikeyMike> and WHAT do you tell to look at the router's SSID only
[08:24] <mbt> MikeyMike, For example, I have a wireless network.  It is named "Chadeux"
[08:24] <MikeyMike> no i know how SSID works.... i dont need a FAQ she's using DHCLIENT to assign herself an ip
[08:24] <Pici> Lazyguy: Yes, if your user is in the sudoer's file, which the default user in Ubuntu is.
[08:24] <Organizm> but yeah...
[08:24] <mbt> MikeyMike, So, I tell NetworkManager to use the network named Chadeux.
[08:24] <MikeyMike> i dont use WIFI in linux
[08:24] <kane77> Lazyguy, yes if you are in sudoers list
[08:24] <MikeyMike> mbt THANKS
[08:24] <mbt> MikeyMike, Of course she is using dhclient to get an IP address.
[08:24] <w3ccv> WIFI-Relay Question:  The /etc/wifi-relay.conf file contains the [SSID]  for each 'network'. Is there a way to have a [UserGeneratedNickname]  for a section with the ssid specified in that section. I've run into a couple networks that use the same *dumb* name of "wireless" and I need to keep them straight.
[08:24] <MikeyMike> that makes sense
[08:24] <HymnToLife> MikeyMike, DHCP has nothing to do with making the wireless work, it just gets an IP from the router
[08:24] <Lazyguy> Is there a password for sudo?
[08:24] <MikeyMike> i know what dhcp is
[08:25] <MikeyMike> for christs sake
[08:25] <Pici> Lazyguy: Your password
[08:25] <MikeyMike> lol
[08:25] <mbt> Lazyguy, Yes, your user's password.
[08:25] <Dimetera> anyone here running ubuntu on a ppc?
[08:25] <Pici> MikeyMike: Maybe we dont get what you are asking then..
[08:25] <Lazyguy> I didn't make one...
[08:25] <MikeyMike> mbt she's not using network manager because she's using a usb adaptor....
[08:25] <kane77> mbt, but network manager doesnt work very well with rt2500 chipsets as far as I can tell...
[08:25] <MikeyMike> it isn't seeing it... it says she's offline
[08:25] <Web> ppl i need help.. i need write in NTFS i'm already installed all APP's that ubuntu wiki said.. but i system said me that i dont have permission to write
[08:25] <Web> ppl i need help.. i need write in NTFS i'm already installed all APP's that ubuntu wiki said.. but i system said me that i dont have permission to write..
[08:25] <mbt> MikeyMike, That shouldn't make a difference unless it's an old driver that NM can't support.
[08:25] <elubie> ah, guys forget it, suddenly, miraculously is working again.
[08:25] <mbt> MikeyMike, If NM can't support it, then "man iwconfig"
[08:25] <mbt> MikeyMike, and "man 5 interfaces"
[08:25] <kofler> How to add that package into the apt-mirror hosted locally without setting up a separate 'localhost' repository
[08:26] <MikeyMike> mbt she was told to run dhclient to make it work
[08:26] <HorizonXP> dunstabulos_: I think I tried this before and it didn't work, but let me try again
[08:26] <mbt> MikeyMike, That should help you out.
[08:26] <Web> ppl i need help.. i need write in NTFS i'm already installed all APP's that ubuntu wiki said.. but i system said me that i dont have permission to write..
[08:26] <MikeyMike> mbt im not in linux right now :-/
[08:26] <HorizonXP> dunstabulos_: you just removed the "file://" part right?
[08:26] <kane77> elubie, probably the interface was down.. next time to bring it up again you can use sudo ifup interface_name (eg eth0, ra0 etc...)
[08:26] <mbt> MikeyMike, Those man pages will explain it to you, so you may want to write them down.
[08:26] <Pici> MikeyMike: dhclient will only work if you're already associated with an SSID.
[08:26] <MikeyMike> mbt okay
[08:26] <kofler> Anyone know?
[08:26] <Web> ppl i need help.. i need write in NTFS i'm already installed all APP's that ubuntu wiki said.. but i system said me that i dont have permission to write...
[08:26] <dunstabulos_> HorizonXP: yup, you shouldn't be prepending it on a uri
[08:26] <faust_> Where can I find error logs as far as network-manager is concerned. It complains about missing resources on boot.
[08:26] <MikeyMike> pici how does that work then.....
[08:26] <faust_> Hasn't been an issue before..

[08:27] <elubie> kane77: thanks, will try ifup eth0 next time then ;)
[08:27] <kane77> vox754, patience man!
[08:27] <mbt> MikeyMike, NM is probably automatically associating with a network.
[08:27] <YetiChick> vox754: Cute...
[08:27] <dunstabulos_> HorizonXP: a uri should already have the file:// in it
[08:27] <Pici> MikeyMike: Which sounds like she isnt.  `sudo iwconfig eth1 essid "essidname"`
[08:27] <vox754> !patience > Web
[08:27] <vox754> !patience > Web
[08:27] <MikeyMike> she was told to plug the usb stick in..... type sudo dhclient...... and it worked..... she never did anything else

[08:27] <MikeyMike> Pici,  rasub0
[08:27] <Xteven> hi
[08:27] <HorizonXP> dunstabulos_: Well apparently a Programming Error was detected
[08:27] <HorizonXP> wait.
[08:27] <HorizonXP> dunstabulos_: I messed up, hold on
[08:27] <Xteven> is there a command to get the homedirectory of a user ?
[08:28] <kane77> Xteven, what do you mean by "get"?
[08:28] <Pici> MikeyMike: So, it would be `sudo iwconfig rausb0 essid "whateveryouressidis"`
[08:28] <Pici> MikeyMike: Then `sudo dhclient rausb0`
[08:28] <dunstabulos_> Xteven: in a shell script?
[08:28] <Neuling> sorry i am a newbie how do i safe in Terminal :)
[08:29] <mbt> MikeyMike, Oh, ha.  I just started using that driver myself.  If it's setup it isn't through networkmanager.  Check /etc/networks/interfaces for a configuration.
[08:29] <MikeyMike> ok im telling her hold on
[08:29] <HorizonXP> dunstabulos_: Now I get this error for a folder - Cannot execute program:
[08:29] <HorizonXP>  '/home/xitij/School/ECE 332'
[08:29] <mbt> MikeyMike, That is how mine is set up.
[08:29] <faust_> Nevermind.. worked after a quick reinstall.
[08:29] <mbt> MikeyMike, rausb0 (rt73 driver) is the only one that works with my card.  :)
[08:29] <MikeyMike> mbt hmm
[08:29] <kane77> Neuling, ?
[08:29] <MikeyMike> i dont have a clue about wifi in linux ..... i dont do it
[08:29] <HorizonXP> dunstabulos_: and Cannot execute program: '/home/xitij/School/3A Work Term Report/q.pdf' for files
[08:29] <Xteven> kane77, dunstabulos_ in a shellscript yes
[08:29] <vox754> kane77, grrr they kicked the wrong guy
[08:29] <Neuling> kane77 i changed a file and want to save it
[08:29] <MikeyMike> using driver wrappers never appealed to me
[08:30] <mbt> MikeyMike, It's not that hard compared to wired Ethernet.  Over the next couple of years, it will most likely be completely standardized.  Right now, some old drivers (like the rausb0 interface) don't work with the newest stuff.
[08:30] <kane77> Neuling, in what way? in text editor? (which text editor?)
[08:30] <MikeyMike> she needs to find out how she can use her usb DWLG122 with network manager
[08:30] <MikeyMike> is there a way?
[08:31] <MikeyMike> then all this will be avoided
[08:31] <kane77> Xteven, $HOME
[08:31] <Neuling> kane77 nano etc/modules
[08:31] <mbt> MikeyMike, No.  NetworkManager requires a driver that can be used with WPA Supplicant.
[08:31] <Neuling> i want to add a driver
[08:31] <dunstabulos_> HorizonXP: but you get an error on the version you posted?
[08:31] <kane77> Neuling, ctrl+x and say yes (to save file...)
[08:31] <mbt> MikeyMike, rausb0 cannot be used with WPA supplicant, so no NetworkManager functionality for that driver.  There is a newer driver, but it doesn't work all that well.  It works with NetworkManager, but it doesn't drive the hardware all that great.
[08:31] <Xteven> kane77: thats the homedir of the current user
[08:31] <MikeyMike> mbt and the DWLG122 doesnt?
[08:31] <Neuling> kane77 thanks a lot
[08:32] <MikeyMike> mbt hm......
[08:32] <mbt> MikeyMike, If you're using the rausb0 driver, no.  It's the driver's thing, not the card.
[08:32] <MikeyMike> ok
[08:32] <mbt> MikeyMike, You can try the rt73usb driver...
[08:32] <mbt> MikeyMike, but, it isn't likely to work well.
[08:32] <HorizonXP> dunstabulos_: Yeah, I get an error on the version i posted too... but not that error
[08:32] <MikeyMike> hm
[08:32] <RaD|Tz> Is feisty out? My shell is no development branch anymore
[08:32] <mbt> MikeyMike, My performance with that driver stank, and it wouldn't init the USB WiFi card unless I had Windows init it first.
[08:32] <Xteven> although I can do: su user -c "echo \$HOME"
[08:32] <dunstabulos_> HorizonXP: can you post the exact text of the error?
[08:33] <tonyyarusso> RaD|Tz: no
[08:33] <mbt> MikeyMike, That's why I am using rausb0 now.  :)
[08:33] <Pici> RaD|Tz: Release candidate is today. I beleive they're updating the lsb info out of beta.
[08:33] <HorizonXP> dunstabulos_: Cannot execute program: '/home/xitij/School/3A Work Term Report/q.pdf'
[08:33] <MikeyMike> okay
[08:33] <dunstabulos_> HorizonXP: on the version you posted?
[08:33] <RaD|Tz> Pici, I got that then
[08:33] <HorizonXP> dunstabulos_: I gtg for a little bit, my gf needs to read an article on my laptop
[08:34] <HorizonXP> dunstabulos_: No, that error was on the version you postede
[08:34] <mbt> MikeyMike, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/104382 for the problems I had with that driver.

[08:39] <muxecoid> Hey. Are there any plans for Ubuntu Mobile? I mean Ubuntu for computers with ARM processors, small touch-screens and little memory.
[08:40] <funnyav> Hello
[08:40] <h4lfl1ng> muxecoid that would rock, my gp2x would rock then
[08:40] <chedabob> muxecoid, I think if you can get hold of the appropriate patches, you could compile itself
[08:40] <funnyav> You know what would be useful?
[08:40] <chedabob> 'it yourself
[08:40] <dunstabulos_> muxecoid: try debian for arm devices
[08:40] <funnyav> A tiny ad space to add to one of the panels
[08:40] <muxecoid> Nokia already offers Linux Mobile, palm plans too.
[08:41] <funnyav> Auto refresh every 10 seconds and you can go back
[08:41] <timerabu> hi
[08:41] <timerabu> brother
[08:41] <funnyav> And the money goes to ubuntu
[08:41] <timerabu> whats up
[08:41] <timerabu> need some help
[08:41] <muxecoid> funnyav, wt???
[08:41] <dunstabulos_> h4lfl1ng: does lspci see your sound card?
[08:42] <funnyav> muxecoid: So they dont have one of those :(
[08:42] <timerabu> i tried downloading some torrent files but its takes ages why is that?
[08:42] <funnyav> :D
[08:42] <h4lfl1ng> dunstabulos_ yes
[08:42] <ceeg> I'm having trouble setting up the network on my Ubuntu server. I have configured /etc/network/interfaces, and /etc/resolve.conf, and ifup'd the interface. I still can't get out. Any assistance?
[08:42] <dunstabulos_> !sound | h4lfl1ng
[08:42] <ubotu> h4lfl1ng: 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
[08:43] <YetiChick> Anyone here know how to get involved with testing Ubuntu?
[08:43] <h4lfl1ng> dunstabulos_ when i double click on volume control, it says cannot find any elements..it stays muted
[08:43] <ceeg> It was working before, then we lost internet for a few days, but now its back. Also, I'm using a static IP.
[08:43] <funnyav> Where can i suggest this: A plugin included with ubuntu, OPTIONAL, shows ads in your panel, non intrusively, related to what your doing, and earned money from the ads goes to ubuntu
[08:43] <daniele_982> hi this morning while i shutdown my knoppix it speaks: "init shutup sequence" is possible to abilitate it in ubuntu?
[08:43] <chili5555> ceeg: u meant /etc/resolv.conf right? without an e?
[08:44] <dunstabulos_> h4lfl1ng: did you following the troubleshooting steps?
[08:44] <h4lfl1ng> that was the first step :D
[08:44] <timerabu> how to improve download speed
[08:44] <timerabu> brother
[08:44] <h4lfl1ng> ill get to it! i think i might have done this already
[08:44] <h4lfl1ng> but ill do it again
[08:45] <Pricey> funnyav, I don't think that's ever going to happen because ads are horrible and people could just easily turn them off. If you still think it has merit then make a spec on launchpad.
[08:45] <michael> hey I was wondering if anyone knew how to disable touchpad from being able to click items.  I am am very new to Ubuntu so I am afraid I dont know, it doesnt seem to be part of system preferences > mouse

[08:46] <dunstabulos_> h4lfl1ng: asking in irc when you have not read the troubleshooting steps in the wiki is wasting everyones time. is your sound card listed when you run 'aplay -l'? do ALSA drivers exist for your sound card?
[08:46] <ceeg> chili5555 yes of course.

[08:47] <chili5555> ceeg: ping router?
[08:47] <KenSentMe> Hi there. I installed postfix on a Ubuntu Dapper install and use ISPConfig to manage things. I've configured my system and postfix with a hostname that isn't currently usable (e.g. the domain is currently set another ip). I've edited main.cf and set myhostname to localhost. But everytime a mail comes in postfix tries to deliver it user@old.hostname.org. I've restarted postfix, but that didn't help. Any ideas?

[08:58] <hamlet> mzanfardino: make sure you installed the fonts (100dpi and 75dpi at least)
[08:58] <Andeh> Hello
[08:58] <octol> mzanfardino; my initial instinct would be to check the output of your xfree/xorg log file

[08:58] <Andeh> No matter what theme i choose its just a different shade but the same shape
[08:58] <mzanfardino> variant: using vm to resolve issue with live server. not yet convinced in vm (yet)
[08:59] <bighouse> not sure if its eclipse specific or related to our Ubuntu port?
[08:59] <jontec> bighouse: ask it :D
[08:59] <mzanfardino> octol: I've checked xorg.0.log and I'm afraid I'm not adept enough to interpret
[08:59] <Andeh> ??
[08:59] <mzanfardino> hamlet: could you suggest the apt-get command for the fonts?
[08:59] <bighouse> it doesn't happen on 3.2 on my Win machine
[08:59] <muxecoid> Reading about Debian for ARM. Looks like it is too far from being a real Linux Moile
[09:00] <jontec> andeh: gnome or kde (ubuntu or kubuntu)

[09:00] <Andeh> My GTK themes, how do i change them
[09:00] <jontec> (I suck with gtk, then sorry. I'm not on linux. :D) I think it's probably in system > preferences, though
[09:01] <tonyyarusso> !changethemes | Andeh
[09:01] <ubotu> Andeh: [Ubuntu]  Install gnome-themes or go to menu, system settings, appearance. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy for a guide. [Kubuntu]  For a Kubuntu guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CustomizeKubuntu
[09:01] <soho> somebody here, who uses totem?
[09:02] <variant> soho: most people probably
[09:02] <YetiChick> soho:  I don't "use" totem, but I have it fully working.
[09:02] <variant> soho: seing as it is the default
[09:02] <MK_Mike> Is there a tool i can use in kde to enable xdmcp?
[09:02] <defjux> hi how do i get my ip address plz??
[09:02] <soho> variant; YetiChick can you play mpegts files? my totem wont do this
[09:02] <hamlet> defjux: as seen from outside or inside?
[09:03] <ionicu> buna
[09:03] <octol> have mplayer and xine been made into ubuntu packages?
[09:03] <variant> soho: yeah
[09:03] <defjux> hamlet i need my internal 192 one
[09:03] <variant> octol: indeed
[09:03] <defjux> so from inside
[09:03] <hamlet> defjux: ifconfig
[09:03] <octol> aye
[09:03] <jonbue> yes octol
[09:03] <defjux> ty
[09:03] <chorly> join #alicante
[09:03] <octol> always been a mplayer fan, myself
[09:03] <chorly> hola
[09:03] <Whtiger> hallo
[09:03] <variant> chorly: no advertising here please
[09:03] <YetiChick> soho: Hmmm...  I actually haven't tried any of the very few .ts files I have.
[09:03] <chorly> join #cam
[09:03] <zurdok> defjux: ifconfig
[09:04] <soho> variant; do you use gstreamer or totem as backend?
[09:04] <chorly> join #espaa
[09:04] <chorly> join #espana
[09:04] <soho> YetiChick; ok
[09:04] <variant> soho: gstreamer
[09:04] <bighouse> when clickin on Preferences under the Eclipse Window Menu - Eclipse freezes if i select Visual Editor (proper) but not if i select SWT or Swing after expanding the Visual Editor menu
[09:04] <soho> variant; i get this message from totem: ** Message: don't know how to handle video/mpegts
[09:04] <hamlet> chorly: just type / infront of all that
[09:04] <YetiChick> soho:  I ended up changing to the xine backend, though.  gstreamer was...  not working wuite right.
[09:05] <bighouse> i end up stopping the java process and Eclipse in System Monitor
[09:05] <variant> soho: yeah, you need to install the various plugins.. i'm ashamed to admit that i'm using feisty and it installed them for me
[09:05] <YetiChick> soho:  I prefer both mplayer and vlc to totem, though.
[09:05] <vuln> Somebody here, speak portuguese?
[09:05] <hamlet> !br | vuln
[09:05] <ubotu> vuln: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigado.
[09:05] <vuln> The 'Receita Federal' in Brazil, is telling MONEY to free my ubuntu cds
[09:05] <vuln> ubotu: thank you :D
[09:06] <VSpike> outlook sucks
[09:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about thank you :d - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:06] <mcsd> is there a way to reset or have the OS autodetect xserver configuration?
[09:06] <soho> variant; totem say it wont play, and want to install the plugin to play it, but it is already installed
[09:06] <variant> mcsd: X -configure
[09:06] <hamlet> VSpike: thank you for this enlightement
[09:06] <YetiChick> VSpike:  I agree.
[09:06] <VSpike> hamlet: yw :)
[09:06] <mcsd> I broke mine trying to load ATI drivers and now my onboard Intel 82945G chip is broken too
[09:06] <VSpike> just had to vent
[09:06] <variant> soho: sorry mate..
[09:06] <joel>  I am getting this error: http://sial.org/pbot/24176 everytime I try to compile SSL-Explore. Prior to install I installed via Adept the following: sun-java5-jdk and ant. What is going wrong?
[09:07] <psycho78> soho: I have codecs installed on my laptop and totem won't play most of my files (divx & mp3) but gxine and vlc play them just fine.
[09:07] <ton1> does anybody know where to find wine for ubuntu 7.02?
[09:07] <bighouse> i loaded the same pkgs on win and in ubuntu, GEF, EMF and VE at the right levels
[09:07] <YetiChick> soho:  That was one of the problems I had with Totem in Feisty.  I used Automatix2 with 6.10 and things worked well.  Still not fond of Totem.
[09:07] <mcsd> is there a way to reset or have the OS autodetect xserver configuration? I broke mine trying to load ATI drivers and now my onboard Intel 82945G chip is broken too
[09:07] <delcoyote> nas pillo
[09:08] <soho> psycho78; totem made some bad problems
[09:08] <soho> YetiChick; i think i will stick with mplayer, but thanks
[09:08] <defjux> i avoid totem. VLC and Mplayer are my preferences. for a winamp clone i like xmms but regularly i use Amarok which has revolutionized my listening experience.
[09:08] <hamlet> mcsd: if you used dpkg-reconfigure they should be backups in /etc/X11
[09:08] <octol> ton1; tried winehq.org/download ?
[09:08] <YetiChick> soho:  yeah, mplayer is my personal favorite.
[09:09] <mcsd> hamlet: thanks
[09:09] <psycho78> defjux: i like amarok a whole lot, it just takes FOREVER to load
[09:09] <ton1> can anybody tell me how to get wine to work on my 64bit AMD chip one ubuntu 7.02?
[09:09] <mixandgo> any idea why enemy territory freezes my PC ?
[09:09] <habeeb> In Feisty, is there an option of Dual-Boot in the partitioner?
[09:09] <VSpike> Got it running in VMWare, as a legacy of my switch from windows.  Set up courier-imap + postfix so I could move mail from Outlook to the IMAP server, and then use KMail or whatever as my mail client.  Problem is, Outlook hangs every time I try to make it talk to the IMAP server.  Got Outlook on another machine, that works OK.  Outlook express on the VMWare works OK. KMail works OK.  Now I'm going to have to do something horrible like
[09:09] <VSpike> export/import the mail from outlook to t-bird or outlook express, then move to the imap server.  Much more chance of doing something bad along the way
[09:09] <daniele_982> is it possible to speak ubuntu during the shutdown???
[09:10] <Bob_Lablah> YOU FHKIN NIGS
[09:10] <mzanfardino> hamlet: ok, I've installed the suggested fonts and I think I'm getting closer.  However, I'm now getting a fatal error: could not open default font 'fixed'.  I've added the xfonts-terminus based on the keyword fixed in the description, but that doesn't do the trick.  Any suggestions?

[09:12] <solique> Oh, sorry I thought I was there!
[09:12] <VSpike> hehe
[09:12] <hamlet> mzanfardino: i have installed also xfonts-base xfonts-encodings xfonts-scalable and xfonts-utils. i dunno which are essential
[09:12] <solique> Both windows open :)
[09:12] <solique> sorry
[09:12] <habeeb> Comedy gold... every time I see this phrase, I really think that someone is stuck in the 80s..
[09:12] <habeeb> that or irony..
[09:13] <daniele_982> ufffiii
[09:13] <habeeb> pornbot :/
[09:13] <Pathogen246> malakia: so how do I install it once I've opened the archive?
[09:13] <daniele_982> is an impossible question???
[09:13] <Ax4> hey if a service is stopped, for example vsftpd, where in the logs would it show up? :)
[09:13] <Ax4> tia
[09:14] <habeeb> Again: In Feisty, is there an option of Dual-Boot in the partitioner?
[09:14] <hamlet> Ax4: /var/log
[09:14] <riaal> anyone? where is a screendump from VLC stored? =S
[09:14] <Ax4> cat: /var/log: Is a directory
[09:14] <hamlet> Ax4: indeed
[09:14] <mcsd> hamlet: I used "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" which broke my configuration to begin with but I do not know the name of an Intel x server driver i.e. apm, vga, fbdev, ati?
[09:14] <DJ_HaXE> can i start an own server?
[09:14] <Ax4> ok so you didn't answer my question
[09:14] <Ax4> lol
[09:14] <mzanfardino> hamlet: I'll give em a try
[09:14] <daniele_982> Ax4: you know the solution?
[09:14] <tonyyarusso> DJ_HaXE: what kind?
[09:14] <Ax4> there's tons of files within /var/log i dunno which one lol
[09:15] <octol> riaal; i think vlc drops the "vlcsnap.png" files into your home dir
[09:15] <Thug-N-Me> hi all
[09:15] <Whtiger> Ax4: check there for somethign relating to ftp.
[09:15] <Thug-N-Me> someone please have a look at my box here http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00282850&lc=en&cc=uk&dlc=en&tool=product&product=444645&query=1239uk&rule=38834&dest_page=product
[09:15] <Whtiger> like.. vsftpd.log =p
[09:15] <hamlet> mcsd: did you found the backup files in /etc/X11 ? you can just use one which worked for you before
[09:15] <riaal> octol, can't find it
[09:15] <Thug-N-Me> i would like to know if i can buy me a 500 GB hard disk
[09:15] <Ax4> ahhh
[09:15] <Ax4> im blind
[09:15] <Ax4> danken
[09:15] <what_if> how do I make ftpd chroot jail users ??
[09:15] <tonyyarusso> daniele_982: Impossible question, no - but an intriguing one that I don't know the answer to, definitely...  It would involve a program called 'festival', most likely, so you may be able to add some festival lines to the init script manually
[09:16] <Thug-N-Me> this hard disk here http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=97633&_LOC=UK
[09:16] <riaal> octol, found it! .vlc/vlcsnap
[09:16] <DJ_HaXE> tonyyarusso: like this
[09:16] <Ax4> ax4@ruby:~$ ls /var/log | grep vsftpd
[09:16] <Ax4> vsftpd.log
[09:16] <octol> riaal :"find /home -file *.png" ?
[09:16] <Ax4> niiiiice
[09:16] <Pathogen246> How do I install programs from a tar.gz archive?
[09:16] <Thug-N-Me> will it work on the computer shown above ^^^ ?
[09:16] <ton1> can i get some help installing wine on my amd 64bit fiesty version of ubuntu?
[09:16] <daniele_982> tonyyarusso: what the init script ??
[09:16] <Whtiger> Pathogen246: first you extract it using `tar`
[09:16] <Ax4> Pathogen246, tar xvfz /directory
[09:16] <mzanfardino> hamlet: brilliant!  xfonts-base did the trick!
[09:17] <tonyyarusso> daniele_982: One sec...
[09:17] <_Neil> Hey, cant get anyone help in +1, can someone here help. I have corruption issues in edgy when booting the livecd or fresh install, it hangs with a corrupted screen as soon as the splash appeared
[09:17] <riaal> octol, cheers
[09:17] <_Neil> Sadly, its STILL in Fiesty
[09:17] <Pathogen246> I've extracted it, I just don't know what to do after that
[09:17] <octol> riaal; :)
[09:17] <_Neil> http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1996187&postcount=14
[09:17] <daniele_982> tonyyarusso: knoppix speaks :D
[09:17] <_Neil> I found this solution and it works, I'm Bluedog
[09:17] <_Neil> however, ubuntu should have it working by default, surely
[09:18] <_Neil> A new user wouldnt be able to get into shell and install the drivers manually without a lot of help, surely against the point of the livecd
[09:18] <habeeb> And I'm asking again... Is there an option of freaking Dual-Boot in the partitioner during the install?
[09:18] <tonyyarusso> daniele_982: Stuff in /etc/rc6.d/ most likely, For a more information see /etc/init.d/README.
[09:19] <octol> ton1; While there is currently no Wine package explicitly designed for the 64-bit version of Ubuntu, there is an easy hack that can be used to install the 32-bit package into the 64-bit distribution and have it function normally. See this page on the Wine wiki for more details."
[09:19] <SeveredCross> habeeb: Uh, just edit the partition table manually.
[09:19] <ton1> can anybody tell me how to install wine on my AMD 64 bit comp ..... its running ubuntu 7.04
[09:19] <tonyyarusso> daniele_982: You could poke around Knoppix's /etc/rc* and /etc/init.d/ directories for ideas.
[09:19] <_Neil> Anyone? shall i report this as a bug or what?
[09:19] <_Neil> Vanilla install or livecd hangs with graphical corruption on a 7800gt, seems a common problem. Requires you going into terminal and manually getting drivers.
[09:20] <daniele_982> tonyyarusso: ok thanks
[09:20] <habeeb> SeveredCross: unfortunately, it's not for me..
[09:20] <habeeb> SeveredCross: but well, thanks.
[09:20] <hamlet> _Neil: why not. at worst it will be rejected. but no harm to report it
[09:20] <octol> ton1;full instructions for you at : http://winehq.org/site/download-deb
[09:20] <_Neil> I've submitted bugs before and they just sit on unconfirmed and undecided
[09:20] <_Neil> is there a way to get them checked?
[09:20] <hamlet> _Neil: no
[09:21] <defjux> ok BEST QUESTION EVER ;) can i change my desktop icons to LIST view? instead of icon?
[09:21] <kane77> is there any notifier (eg to notify in some other, more visible way, when the windows like xchat or gaim blink)??
[09:22] <muxecoid> defjux do you want to change to list?
[09:22] <hamlet> defjux: this is very strange desire. i guess the answer is no. but i don't want to think how your desktop looks like...
[09:22] <dyrne> _Neil: generally the easier they are to understand and verify but thats it
[09:22] <_Neil> ok, thanks guys
[09:22] <_Neil> ill submit one anyway then :)
[09:22] <Lin> how can I change a keymap on feisty? I couldn't find any keymap on /usr/share/keymaps/. What is setupcon? it hasn't a man page?
[09:22] <_Neil> there are a lot of ppl with the problem
[09:22] <muxecoid> defjux, you can always use the source, indeed. ;)
[09:22] <Andeh> Hello

[09:23] <Andeh> I am in gnome. How do i change my GTK theme?
[09:23] <_Neil> Andeh: system > Prefs > Theme
[09:23] <dyrne> Andeh: art.gnome.org has a FAQ
[09:23] <raven2223> In x chat how do you display the users list?
[09:23] <Andeh> _Neil: No, that changes the color, buttons and icons. Where do i go to change the FRAMES?
[09:23] <_Neil> thats the window decorator theme then, ie metacity/beryl, etc
[09:24] <Andeh> art.gnome.org doesnt exist
[09:24] <Andeh> Oh
[09:24] <Andeh> Oops
[09:24] <Andeh> it does
[09:24] <dyrne> Andeh: hah!
[09:24] <_Neil> :D
[09:24] <comosicus>  my cd does not whant to get out of my comp....what shoud i do?
[09:25] <Andeh> Uh...
[09:25] <MarcN> comosicus: umount the CD -- should be on your desktop
[09:25] <dyrne> comosicus: got a paperclip?  or make sure its umount'd
[09:25] <apereira> somebody can help me about edgy on SPARC?
[09:25] <Andeh> My "theme details" windows doesnt HAVE a frame borders tab...?
[09:25] <octol> comosicus; umount it, then use paperclip trick id it still wont eject
[09:25] <gravemind> what program makes isos from cds that copy all the cd (like raw and subchannel or whatever they're called)?
[09:25] <Andeh> Maybe installing the Kubuntu and Xubuntu packages messed things up :O
[09:25] <bighouse> bbl folks - im gonna give #eclipse a try
[09:25] <defjux> haha ok muxecoid and hamlet, yah all i want to do is to change to list, but i dont want to make any great efforts at that particular change. btw, my desktop is fine right now, but my icons often spill onto my second monitor. :P
[09:25] <bighouse> tc
[09:25] <justthisguy> gravemind: I think xcdroast can

[09:26] <fuzzy_logic> how can i disable the popup that asks me to fill in my pwd after opening my laptop?
[09:26] <chell> Does ubuntu have more packages in its repositories than debian?
[09:26] <VSpike> anyone got any idea about a problem where almost any gui app takes about 5 seconds to open?
[09:26] <gravemind> octol: does cdrdao work for data cds, and get the whole thing? I've used it for music before
[09:27] <MarcN> VSpike: not enough memory?
[09:27] <gravemind> dyrne: cool, thanks
[09:27] <Andeh> wow
[09:27] <fuzzy_logic> chell: no they use just the same
[09:27] <Andeh> Beryl actually works FASTER on gnome, not XFCE
[09:27] <chell> okay
[09:27] <fuzzy_logic> chell: you can add third party repositories
[09:27] <Andeh> How come beryl is super fast and the windows/text is laggy?
[09:27] <Andeh> lol
[09:27] <pitillo> (I read at nvidia website that there are drivers but not sure if that is the correct way to do that)
[09:27] <chell> I know
[09:27] <hamlet> chell: no. the new debian comes on 21 cd's
[09:27] <chell> lol
[09:27] <octol> gravemind; it should, and i think it will even write to the standard .bin/.cue format with the right switches
[09:27] <chell> I think I'm gonna install the Feisty RC tomorrow
[09:28] <fuzzy_logic> anyone have answer to my question?
[09:28] <zeroflag> how can I install kernel modules into the kernel?
[09:28] <abhi> how to play 3gp files
[09:28] <gravemind> octol: great!
[09:28] <chell> Is the RC out yet?
[09:28] <apereira> can,t start x11 on ubuntu for SPARC; what's the chipset for Sun XVR-550  graphics card?
[09:28] <gravemind> octol, can bin/cue be mounted?
[09:28] <shirish> igor47: shirish here
[09:28] <hamlet> fuzzy_logic: configure gdm to log your user automatically
[09:29] <octol> gravemind; yep, insert the "loopback kmod if you don't have it, then "mount -o loop"
[09:29] <Andeh> Hello
[09:29] <Andeh> How do i change how far apart my desktop icons are?
[09:29] <fuzzy_logic> hamlet: i'm still quite new to the ubuntu-thing.. so can you please explain how i can exacly do that?
[09:29] <gravemind> ok, I'll try it
[09:29] <_Neil> How do I choose edgy and fiesty to tell people my bug report affects both?
[09:29] <_Neil> the live cd wont boot past splash unless you mess with xorg.conf, a bug
[09:30] <yves__> hello everyone, how can I filter out the join / part messages in x-chat? I don't want to see them all the time
[09:30] <micahcowan> _Neil, just use the comments to say that.
[09:30] <VSpike> MarcN: Got 2 gig, should be enough :)
[09:30] <hamlet> fuzzy_logic: i don't know how it is called in the menus. should be something like "login window configuration" in "system" perhaps?
[09:30] <rambo3> _Neil, well know bugg
[09:30] <MarcN> VSpike: yeah.  Anything sucking up cpu time?  (run top)
[09:30] <octol> zero88; try modprobe, or less ideally insmod
[09:30] <jonbue> fuzzy if u look in administration and click login window look under the security tab
[09:30] <VSpike> MarcN: Nope
[09:30] <jonbue> it has a checkbox for automatic login
[09:31] <k6rfm> yves__: right click the channel name (in the tab) and choose the menu item that has the channel name. there will be a checkoff for join/part messages
[09:31] <VSpike> MarcN: I found some stuff indicating this was a network problem.  Tried the fixes suggested, but no joy.  Seems they don't work for everyone
[09:31] <MarcN> VSpike: does xterm startup fast?
[09:31] <shoot^> is there a way i can move my entire home directory to a different disk?
[09:31] <dyrne> shoot^: yes
[09:32] <k6rfm> shoot^: cp -r, tar it up and untar it over there, many others
[09:32] <YetiChick> shoot^:  What dyrne said...  Slow typing today, I guess.
[09:32] <yves__> k6rfm, thank you! will try it now
[09:32] <octol> shoot^; tar -cvf /home/shoot/ will likely do it
[09:32] <shoot^> sweet, cheers
[09:32] <shoot^> then just edit the fstab entry?
[09:32] <MarcN> shoot^:  I like to use rsync -azv /here /there
[09:32] <dyrne> shoot^: or http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/
[09:32] <hamlet> shoot^: don't follow octol's advice
[09:33] <VSpike> MarcN: It's a bit random.  xterm took five seconds to start the first time, then only 1 or 2 subsequently.  xeyes and xclock start almost right away.  konsole took ages to start...
[09:33] <jmsebolt> I have a question regarding the Desktop Effects in Feisty. I have them enabled, and they are working great (even on my ATI mobility!)...As I understand it, these are compiz effect? Are there any other ones that can be activated? Add on's perhaps?
[09:33] <VSpike> MarcN: now may not be the best time to test as I have something hammering the disk
[09:33] <octol> hamlet; why is tarring a home dir "bad advice" ?
[09:33] <pitillo> can anyone give me a clue about nforce chipset and ubuntu edgy?
[09:33] <hamlet> octol: the idea is perfect. the command - not
[09:33] <yves__> k6rfm, there is no such option on rightclicking the channels name in the tab (#ubuntu). I am using XChat-GNOME 0.16
[09:34] <MarcN> VSpike: hammering on a disk will slow down app startups...
[09:34] <hamlet> octol: you may try it for yourself if you are right now for in linux :-)
[09:34] <kuba> hello
[09:34] <dyrne> kuba: hey
[09:34] <octol> hamlet; yes, it is not grammatically correct
[09:34] <brynee> hi
[09:35] <kuba> hay
[09:35] <octol> tar -cvf file /home/
[09:35] <kuba> andbye
[09:35] <VSpike> MarcN: Yeah. It does happen even when that's not running :) I just mean now is not a good time to diagnose/compare
[09:35] <hamlet> octol: you will wonder how much people don't understand what they type and see all this as some magic mumbo-jumbo...
[09:35] <_Neil> micahcowan: Insists I choose a package name for the report, but I don't know what causes it
[09:35] <k6rfm> shoot^: after you get the data moved you can use system>administration>users and groups to change the home directory (in the Advanced tab on the account properties)
[09:35] <_Neil> all i know is, it happens with fiesty and edgy
[09:36] <k6rfm> shoot^: or just edit /etc/passwd if you're comfortable with that
[09:36] <jonbue> this is wierd i tried to open a port with sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp dport 6881 -j ACCEPT but when i go to see if the ports open it doesnt say it is how do i permanently open the port?
[09:36] <brynee> does anybody here know how to install beryl so it works on ubuntu 6.10?
[09:36] <octol> hamlet; good point, duly noted
[09:36] <ror> is there an easy way to go to 16bpp without editting xorg.conf
[09:36] <Alam_Ubuntu> ror, no
[09:37] <chaostrophy> brynee, i just installed beryl and the emerald-theme through apt get and it showed up in my kde menu
[09:37] <chaostrophy> and it works, although a bit buggy
[09:37] <k6rfm> yves__: I have it in XChat 2.6.8 (non-GNOME).  I have noticed it comes, goes, and moves around in various versions
[09:38] <yves__> ok, I will install that
[09:38] <bowman_> rrakis.es
[09:38] <wo0lverine> re
[09:39] <kuba> hey.i've got a question(sorry if stupid:) -how can i run internet pages in terminal?
[09:39] <hamlet> kuba: use text based web browser. like elinks, lynks...
[09:39] <Rawn027> i have edgy running on raid and lvm
[09:39] <octol> kuba; try the lynx or links cli broowsers if you have them installed
 how buggy is it?
[09:39] <Rawn027> ubuntu installed lilo by default
[09:40] <abhi> how to play 3gp files
[09:40] <dyrne> kuba: programs: either lynx or links or links2  etc.  just to download something use wget http://whatever
[09:40] <RickJones> how do you enable ntfs access on ubuntu ? i want to delete some files on a ntfs usb external drive, but i do not have access due to permissions having it set to read only
[09:40] <Rawn027> i am trying to use xen which required grub
[09:40] <Rawn027> can i get grub working with ubuntu
[09:40] <micahcowan> _Neil, package name  != Ubuntu release version. If you've chosen ubuntu as the target, though, it shouldn't be /requiring/ a package name: it's up the Triage team to determine that if the user doesn't.
 can i get grub working with ubuntu < yes
[09:40] <Andeh> Hello
[09:40] <Rawn027> Ghaldez: how could I go about doing that
[09:40] <Rawn027> just point me in the right direction :)
[09:41] <Zoohouse> When it says "Find the Java installation Dir" how do I go about looking that up???
[09:41] <Andeh> I want to uninstall KDE and XFCE from my Ubuntu install. How do i do that?
[09:41] <_Neil> micahcowan: thanks, I refreshed and it let me submit 'dont know' as the bullet, so all is well :)
[09:41] <kuba> dyrne: ok what is lynx?:)
[09:41] <Ghaldez> lo
 Ghaldez: how could I go about doing that < install ubuntu ;) ubuntu uses grub
[09:41] <hamlet> Andeh: sudo apt-get instal kubuntu-desktop xubuntu-desktop
[09:41] <dyrne> Andeh: remove a common dependancy like a gtk lib for xfce or qt i guess for kde
 dyrne: ok what is lynx?:) < a browser
[09:41] <chaostrophy> lnyx is a command line web browser
[09:41] <hamlet> Andeh: sorry
[09:41] <Rawn027> Ghaldez: I just installed ubuntu onto a RAID with LVM and LILO was installed
[09:41] <octol> RickJones; last time i checked NTFS write support was still very unstable under linux
[09:42] <mwe> Andeh: kdelibs. remove that
[09:42] <dyrne> kuba: just a text based browser
[09:42] <RickJones> so i need to find some one with a windows box and plug it up to it ?
[09:42] <kuba> dyrne: thanks
[09:42] <archwolf> Hey, does anyone here know anything about compatibility with Ubuntu and the Samsumg SGH-i607 phone? (Samsung Blackjack)?
[09:42] <salty-horse> hi. when installing nvidia-glx and changing xorg.conf to run the "nvidia" driver. i'm getting the following error. any ideas? "Error: API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has the version 1.0-7184, but this X module has the version 1.0-9631"
 do you have the right bios boot option?
[09:42] <dyrne> !ntfs-3g | RickJones
[09:42] <Rawn027> Ghaldez: BIOS option?
[09:42] <ubotu> RickJones: ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but please remember to keep backups of critical data. Installation instructions at http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710 (Dapper) and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009/ (Edgy)
[09:42] <archwolf> I installed synce-kde, but I don't know how to use it
[09:42] <Rawn027> grub is a bootloader
[09:42] <octol> RickJones; you can do it with the correct support module, but it is risky, and possibly recommended to do under a native Win environemnt
 Ghaldez: BIOS option?< when you start your pc there is the frst screen with a big yellow "BIOS" logo
[09:43] <livingdaylight> hello guys
[09:43] <pitillo> the only way to get it working is moving to other distro? (nforce400)
[09:43] <kuba> dyrne:ok it's working.but if i would like just type an adress and that page show me in my browser(for example mozilla)??
[09:43] <Rawn027> Ghaldez: how the heck is the bios going to tell ubuntu which bootloader to install to the MBR?
[09:44] <RickJones> ok, thanks
[09:44] <livingdaylight> i haved to install a new os, should i wait for ubuntu release or can i just go ahead now?
[09:44] <Rawn027> The computer boots just fine with lilo
[09:44] <Rawn027> i need grub to run xen
[09:44] <dyrne> kuba: use the 'g' button and a url field will appear
[09:44] <Rawn027> do you know what Xen is?
[09:44] <dyrne> kuba: also like lynx googl.eom  should work when you launch it
[09:44] <rambo3> well this was the easyes install of java flash and mp3 . on feisty
[09:45] <dyrne> kuba: well itll work as long as you can type better than i can
[09:45] <Rawn027> i already tried to use mbootpack to make a conglomerate kernel that contains both the xen kernel and the vmlinux kernel for the dom0 no such luck
[09:45] <Rawn027> Ghaldez: any ideas now that you got that BIOS idea out of your head?
 yes ...,i mean i got ubuntu and xen on 2 sata hdd's and grub wasn't loading so i set the bios boot option so tha he first boots ubuntu and friom the grub i can choose xen
[09:46] <Rawn027> i know how to use grub as well as Xen
[09:46] <Rawn027> i was wondering if there was any secret to useing grub in raid/lvm setup
[09:46] <Rawn027> you might not have LVM
[09:46] <livingdaylight> Guys, can someone tell me
[09:46] <Martyo> what time is the feisty fawn release candidate likely to become available tonight?
[09:47] <RickJones> octol, that require a reboot ?
[09:47] <nox-Hand> Anyone want to help me get X starting? I have a pastebin with my error :D http://paste.stgraber.org/426
[09:47] <firefly2442> Anyone know how to put inter-document links in an open office document?
[09:47] <solique> Martyo: It's been postponed
[09:47] <mjr> Rawn027, there's the secret that grub can't read lvm or raid (except raid-1, where it actually just reads one part of the mirror)
[09:47] <dyrne> who had the java question?
[09:47] <octol> RickJones; inserting a kernel module shouldn't require a reboot, but the drive will have to remounted
[09:47] <Martyo> solique: ah, really? where does it say that?
[09:47] <Rawn027> mjr: so if my boot is on raid 1 i should be ok?
[09:47] <mjr> Rawn027, yes
[09:47] <RickJones> ok just cehecking
[09:48] <Rawn027> could i specify /dev/sda instead of /dev/md0?
[09:48] <RickJones> checking*
[09:48] <livingdaylight> are people using feisty here already?
[09:48] <Rawn027> mjr: and what do i specify my root as? /dev/md3?
[09:48] <solique> Martyo: On the dev mailing list. Apparently there are issues with the network connection tool and some ATA drivers. Should be out in a couple of days apparently
[09:48] <jshriver> How can you free up memory or see what's really consuming so much? I check "free" and it seems over 2/3 of my memory is used, so I checked "top" and only 1-2 processes use any measurable amount 1-2% each... so what's eating my memory?
[09:48] <TheSilentW> hi, is it possible to add a red line across the console below the line that it actually got a user input? so i can see my own commands quickly
[09:48] <Martyo> solique: ah, thanks!
[09:49] <solique> Martyo: np :)
[09:49] <firefly2442> jshriver: it's probably cached for use later if you use that application
[09:49] <mjr> Rawn027, hmh? If you mean where you should install grub, yes, probably /dev/sda; and as root, well, yes, /dev/mdX, where X is appropriate
[09:49] <Rawn027> ok sounds good
[09:49] <dyrne> jshriver: it is sort of 'caching' stuff its not necesarily using all that.
[09:49] <Rawn027> thanks
[09:49] <zeroflag> someone tell me how to activate kernel modules before I go nuts!
[09:49] <octol> jshriver; "ps -uax" at the cli should give you detailed memory/ cpu usage
[09:49] <jshriver> thanks
[09:50] <jshriver> is there a way of clearing the cache? I'm about to run some intensive code and need all the memory I can get
[09:50] <hamlet> TheSilentW: you are talking about program X?
[09:50] <jshriver> right now only firefox and Xorg are taking up anything really
[09:50] <livingdaylight> can someone tell me: is Feisty safe already?
[09:50] <fsg> is there a way tu run and edit c# code in ubuntu
[09:50] <TheSilentW> hamlet, i am talking about the normal....console
[09:50] <fsg> ??
[09:50] <hamlet> TheSilentW: no. you can't
[09:51] <jshriver> fsg: mono
[09:51] <TheSilentW> hamlet, or... maybe a console mod?
[09:51] <dyrne> jshriver: it will switch it out. the ram isnt doing anything any good if its not being used so it caches some stuff. as soon as you run an app that will have priority
[09:51] <fsg> jshriver: thanks
[09:51] <jshriver> mono-mcs and mono-gmcs
[09:51] <MajorPayne> When 7.10 comes out can I do an upgrade over the internet like Debian or must I download a new cd and upgrade that way?  I currently run Ubuntu 6.10.
[09:51] <hamlet> TheSilentW: not that i'm aware of
[09:51] <TheSilentW> ok
[09:51] <gikid> omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgogmogmgomgomgomgomgomg
[09:51] <TheSilentW> thx anyway
 you might not have LVM < yes ,sry i can't help with that
[09:52] <Rawn027> Ghaldez: thanks anyway
[09:52] <Rawn027> mjr: what about grub2
[09:52] <octol> zeroflag; as root, use "modprobe <module name>"

[09:59] <mauriicio> ok
[09:59] <gikid> i'd run around in public naked
[09:59] <archwolf> Is there a way to map usb ports to COM ports?  Wine doesn't support USB, apparently.
[09:59] <zeroflag> octol: lsmod says that snd_hda_intel is loaded but not used. and I can't get alsa to use it...
[09:59] <augusto_feisty> mauriicio: what do u need??
[09:59] <gRaCi0s0> someone who could help me with a transparent caching squid proxy ?
[10:00] <ts_> user
[10:00] <octol> zeroflag; you may need to rerun your alsa config scripts after inserting the new module
[10:00] <ts_> help
[10:00] <ts_> ?
[10:00] <gRaCi0s0> someone who could help me with a transparent caching squid proxy ?

[10:02] <zeroflag> octol: alsamixer runs in the terminal but gnome's alsa mixer crashes when I try to set up my sound device...
[10:02] <mauriicio> augusto_feisty, my system don't iniciate !
[10:02] <K3rl0u4rn> cheers channel :)
[10:02] <Pricey> mauriicio, #ubuntu+1 for feisty please.
[10:02] <zeroflag> octol: and other tools wont recognize the sound device either...
[10:03] <K3rl0u4rn> I have a CD with read errors which I would like to build an as close as possible iso image
[10:03] <firefly2442> Anyone know how I can add links into my document in the table of contents in open office?
[10:03] <mauriicio> ok
[10:03] <archwolf> Anyone know anything about this?
[10:03] <K3rl0u4rn> I can not cat /dev/cdrom to an iso file because of  the read errors
[10:03] <K3rl0u4rn> what should I do ?
[10:03] <sonictwin> if i have read-only access to an NTFS partition on my drive, can i copy files to linux partitions?
[10:03] <augusto_feisty> mauriicio: what it happens?
[10:03] <octol> zeroflag; it crashes ? I believe "alsamixer" is a terminal program
[10:04] <sonictwin> i can't access my partition right now but i want to copy music from windowsXP to linux
[10:04] <mwe> K3rl0u4rn: isn't it a symlink?
[10:04] <kane77> sonictwin, yes you can
[10:04] <VSpike> sonictwin: of course
[10:04] <augusto_feisty> mauriicio: it appears some messages?
[10:04] <K3rl0u4rn> mwe: what ?
[10:04] <zeroflag> octol: it is and it works. but all the other tools can't open the sound device.
[10:04] <sonictwin> the ntfs partition is under /dev/hda2
[10:04] <soho> how can i tell compiz-tray-icon to directly go to the tray instead of showing a preferences-window?
[10:04] <zeroflag> octol: uhm, what IS the sound device? maybe some permission issue (I ran alsamixer as root)...
[10:05] <mwe> K3rl0u4rn: /dev/cdrom, isn't it just a symlink pointing to the real device file?
[10:05] <sonictwin> here is my /etc/fstab line for the drive
[10:05] <Pricey> augusto_feisty, mauriicio feisty support in #ubuntu+1 please. It is not finished yet.
[10:05] <sonictwin> UUID=4054F6DF54F6D71E /mnt/ntfs ntfs defaults 0 0
[10:05] <zeroflag> octol: HAH! alsamixer doesn't work as user, only as root.
[10:05] <K3rl0u4rn> mwe: yes it is, /dev/cdrom points to hdb but this is not a problem :) the CD has been used too much :)
[10:05] <augusto_feisty> \j #ubuntu+1
[10:05] <mwe> zeroflag: It's supposed to work as normal user, though.
[10:06] <Pricey> archwolf, What's up?
[10:06] <mwe> K3rl0u4rn: oh
[10:06] <zeroflag> mwe: I probably used too much root when I was setting it up. any idea which device it is?
[10:06] <archwolf> Pricey: trying to get wine to recognize usb devices, which it apparently doesn't do
[10:06] <apollo2011> I am having a problem that I guess is fair game for both the Edgy and the Feisty chatrooms. I have been trying for quite some time to get nvidia-glx to work. I had it working and I did some kind of update and it broke and I am finally getting around to actually figuring out the problem. My card (GeForce3 Ti200) is still listed as a supported card on the nVidia site, but I can't get any versions of the driver to work. I am now having the same results o
[10:06] <apollo2011> n Feisty as I did on Edgy. When using the 9631 driver, everything loads but the gamma appears off and nothing I do fixes it. 9755 does not run, and several other versions give one of those two results.
[10:07] <Rawn027> mjr: when trying to run grub-install i get the following
[10:07] <Rawn027> mjr: /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-root does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.
[10:07] <mwe> zeroflag: hmm. well /dev/snd/*
[10:07] <Pricey> archwolf, Are there any reports at all of it working? Because I doubt you'll have much help here sorry.
[10:07] <octol> I beleieve the typical device files affected my alsa  are /dev/mixer and in /dev/sound & /dev/snd
[10:07] <Thug-N-Me> ls sata II same as sata ?
[10:07] <mwe> zeroflag: is your user in the audio group?
[10:07] <octol> s/my/by/ , even
[10:08] <mwe> zeroflag: type groups as the user to check
[10:08] <defjux> i think if its possible VMWare is a LOT better than wine.
[10:09] <mwe> zeroflag: or just 'groups username' as any user
[10:09] <zeroflag> mwe: no, how can I add it?
[10:09] <archwolf> it seems like forum posts are telling me that it might work if I can get usb mapped to com ports
[10:09] <archwolf> but i don't know how to do that
[10:09] <mwe> defjux: I think it depends on the job. It uses a lot of resources
[10:09] <mwe> zeroflag: sudo gpasswd -a username audio
[10:10] <mwe> zeroflag: then relogin
[10:10] <mwe> zeroflag: I bet it will work then
[10:10] <nodonnel> problem: i have alsa-base installed, along with several softsynths including alsa modular, but when i try to start alsa modular i get an error saying that the alsa sequencer cannot be found. any suggestions?
[10:11] <octol> apollo2011; I had a similiar issue with the nvidia drivers, they stopped support for a lot of the older cards at the "7174" release, so I had to revert to that build
[10:12] <gEveze316> yaraklarrrrrr
[10:12] <sonictwin> how safe is write access to NTFS?
[10:12] <whatspy> it slipped my memory... the "find" syntax to list files containing text "foo"
[10:12] <mwe> sonictwin: safe if you use ntfs-3g at least
[10:12] <Pricey> whatspy, locate ?
[10:12] <mwe> !ntfs-3g | sonictwin
[10:12] <ubotu> sonictwin: ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but please remember to keep backups of critical data. Installation instructions at http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710 (Dapper) and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009/ (Edgy)
[10:12] <Pricey> sonictwin, like any filesysytem keep backups
[10:12] <bigmb> Does lspci tell me what motherboard I have?
[10:12] <apollo2011> octol: That is kind of what I have been reading, but nvidia maintains a supported card list for each version of the driver, and my card is consistently listed as being supported.
[10:13] <sonictwin> mwe: i just installed it with apt-get, just wanted to ask before i restarted
[10:13] <octol> I'll second Pricey's advice on keeping backups before using ntfs write
[10:13] <sonictwin> and i did edit my /etc/fstab
[10:13] <whatspy> Pricey: for text within files ?
[10:13] <Pricey> whatspy, ah no then :P
[10:13] <mwe> sonictwin: always keep backups of critical files, though ;) linux and windows alike
[10:14] <cara> Hi
[10:14] <whatspy> Pricey: oops, I should have been more specific
[10:14] <cara> I just can't get ubuntu to see my hard drive
[10:14] <K3rl0u4rn> so how do I build an iso of an old CD with read errors ?
[10:14] <nodonnel> should ams work right away after installation with synaptic?
[10:14] <Jaxster> how do I open a .bin file?
[10:14] <zeroflag> mwe: thank you SO much. I was about to go nuts about this. -_-
[10:14] <Jaxster> in terminal?
[10:14] <ardchoille> K3rl0u4rn: I would think that, since an ISO building app would need to read the CD, you may be scewed.
[10:15] <pitillo> !nforce
[10:15] <mwe> zeroflag: heh. np
[10:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nforce - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:15] <ardchoille> s/scewed/screwed/
[10:15] <octol> apollo2011; nvidia is swamped with work on their Vista drivers, I think unfortunately linux users with older cards are low priority for them
[10:15] <tts> after editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf. is there any command i should run to update it. or is it just a reboot ?
[10:15] <YetiChick> K3rl0u4rn: I'd probably copy everything readable from the disc and build a new ISO from that directory.
[10:15] <K3rl0u4rn> ardchoille: would it be possible to copy a single track of the CD ?
[10:16] <ardchoille> K3rl0u4rn: I wouldn't know how.
[10:16] <sonictwin> mwe, thanks :-)
[10:16] <mwe> tts: you don't need to reboot. just restart gdm
[10:16] <YetiChick> K3rl0u4rn: Is this an audio CD?
[10:16] <defjux> [YES VIRGINIA THERE IS A SANTA CLAUS AND ITS NAME IS OPEN SOURCE] 
[10:16] <mwe> sonictwin: yw
[10:16] <tts> ok thanks
[10:17] <sonictwin> tts, ctrl + alt + bkspc
[10:17] <K3rl0u4rn> YetiChick: no, a game
[10:17] <hamlet> tts: either press alt+ctrl+backspace (if you are in graphical mode) or "sudo /etc/init.d.gdm restart" or reboot the computer
[10:18] <mwe> It's funny. I'm almost positive ctrl-alt-bs doesn't reload the config for me. only sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[10:18] <ardchoille> /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[10:18] <mwe> at least last I messed with xorg.conf
[10:18] <YetiChick> K3rl0u4rn: Ugh.  Not good.  I'd probably try to repair the disc with a bufing tool rather than make a copy of that disc.  You might be able to recover all of the files with a recovery tool, but if there's copy protection on the disc...
[10:19] <pitillo> may be I need to use ubuntu 64bits version with nforce400?
[10:19] <YetiChick> K3rl0u4rn: Wait...  Is the disc damaged, or are you simply getting read errors trying to copy it?
[10:19] <defjux> ok, i added a repository so when i install software or update it always hangs on some setiathome thing, where do i go to remove that repository?
[10:19] <K3rl0u4rn> YetiChick: no copy protection, what do you call a recovery tool ?
[10:19] <K3rl0u4rn> YetiChick: yes, the disk is damaged :)
[10:19] <MikeyMike> ok so ... i need help haha
[10:20] <mwe> defjux: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list is one way
[10:20] <MikeyMike> actually.... i'll get the person in who needs the help ... im a middleman
[10:20] <K3rl0u4rn> YetiChick: I mean I can see it's really old (don't have the words for this, sorry)
[10:20] <Jaxster> how do I open a .bin in terminal?
[10:20] <defjux> thanks mwe
[10:20] <mwe> defjux: I believe you can do it from synaptic as well, though. I don't use that though
[10:20] <YetiChick> Well, there are quite a few cool tools which use multiple passes and re-reads to attempt to get files off of a damaged disc.  But most games require *all* of their files, or they have big problems.
[10:21] <Ahorner> mesa need helpsa
[10:21] <MikeyMike> where do you set dns at if using dhcp client?
[10:21] <dyrne> Jaxster: an image?
[10:21] <octol> K3rl0u4rn; your local video store can probably recover the disc for a few bucks if it's just superficial scratches
[10:21] <Jaxster> is there anything I can just run it with ?
[10:21] <Jaxster> not in terminal maybe?
[10:21] <MikeyMike> ip addresses work in firefox and xchat and anything else.... but if using names it wont connect.... so i know its a dns issue.... but this person is using DHCLIENT with rasusb.....
[10:21] <K3rl0u4rn> YetiChick: one chance would be only audio tracks are damaged, right ? maybe I can image the data track only ?
[10:21] <octol> dd and other tools can be used as a last resort
[10:21] <Ahorner> will somebody help me
[10:21] <Jaxster> like Alcohol 120% would in XP, can I mount the .bin to a virtual drive somehow?
[10:22] <Winball> I've installed aq2(quake2). And now I cant run ./aq2   It worked fine in edgy eft
[10:22] <cara> same here
[10:22] <MikeyMike> here she is
[10:22] <cara> I've been here like three times
[10:22] <Ahorner> im running wine and i keep getting a x11 driver missing even though ive reinstalled it multiple times
[10:22] <YetiChick> K3rl0u4rn:  So a damaged game disc is probably dead unless you can restore the disc.  And octol said what I was going to.  You can also buy a disc restoration kit for a fairly small amount.
[10:22] <K3rl0u4rn> octol: isn't dd a tool to write 0s on the harddrive ?
[10:22] <mwe> K3rl0u4rn: well can't you just put it in and see what the file manager can handle?
[10:22] <Ahorner> reinstalled wine i mean
[10:22] <rambo3> !iso | JackInTheGreen
[10:22] <ubotu> JackInTheGreen: To mount an ISO disc image, type  sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint>  - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[10:22] <rambo3> !iso | Jaxster
[10:22] <ubotu> Jaxster: To mount an ISO disc image, type  sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint>  - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[10:22] <Ahorner> wow
[10:22] <cara> with the same problem and searched forums and nothing seems to work
[10:22] <YetiChick> K3rl0u4rn:  yes, some tools might just be able to read one track and copy it.
[10:23] <octol> Jaxster; you can do this, you will need loopback support as a module or kernel driver, and the "mount" command
[10:23] <YetiChick> K3rl0u4rn:  If I recall, the original Tomb raider CD worked that way.  About 8 audio tracks and a single data track.
[10:23] <mztriz> what is vmnet8?
[10:23] <cara> something for vmware
[10:23] <dave132> how do i stop the movie player from trying to play the real video files?
[10:23] <cara> a module that it builds for the network interface it uses
[10:24] <YetiChick> mztriz:  It's one of vmware's virtual network devices.
[10:24] <K3rl0u4rn> mwe: will try
[10:24] <mwe> octol: isn't loopback support enabled by default?
[10:24] <MikeyMike> ....... "i didnt do anything"
[10:24] <octol> K3rl0u4rn; not really, dd can make cdrom images, but it will not do recovery routines that other cd specific imaging tools have.
[10:24] <mztriz> KLDFJKDLSJFklsdjfksd
[10:24] <K3rl0u4rn> YetiChick: c&c and red alert did it this way also
[10:25] <YetiChick> K3rl0u4rn:  Those are also quite ancient, in game terms.  :)  But yes, a lot of older games did.
[10:25] <billy> how do I backup the hidden home files?  cp -a?
[10:25] <octol> mwe; depends on your linux
[10:25] <d00d> Can someone help me i cant get x to load in livecd im runing a GeForce 8800 Intel Core 2 Extreme 6800
[10:25] <sonictwin> i'm copying my music right now, sweet!
[10:25] <guitarra> Hi. I am using ubuntu 6.10, on an Intel machine (Pentium 4 Prescott 3Ghz) and would like to install the g++ compiler.
[10:25] <rambo3> epiphany game!
[10:25] <d00d> 6.10drapper btw
[10:25] <guitarra> What version should I choose?
[10:25] <K3rl0u4rn> is there a way I can preserve file dates at copy time ?
[10:25] <mwe> octol: well since the is #ubuntu I asume ubuntu ;)
[10:25] <octol> mwe; I'm on a slack box atm, so for me, no. hehe
[10:26] <rambo3> guitarra, then install it ?
[10:26] <YetiChick> billy:  I use rsync -a
[10:26] <rambo3> guitarra, latest ?
[10:26] <guitarra> There are several versions
[10:26] <mwe> octol: huh. slackware doesn't have loopback support by default ?!
[10:26] <rambo3> !info gcc
[10:26] <mwe> octol: report that as a bug
[10:26] <ubotu> gcc: The GNU C compiler. In component main, is optional. Version 4:4.1.1-6ubuntu3 (edgy), package size 5 kB, installed size 64 kB
[10:26] <billy> YetiChick, you use that command for backup purposes?
[10:26] <d00d> weird how x wont load in livecd
[10:26] <rambo3> guitarra, g++4.1 then
[10:26] <octol> mwe; i have to load the loopback module
[10:26] <mwe> octol: It did when I used it 9 years ago
[10:26] <guitarra> rambo3, that would be the trivial answer, but does anyone know about a reason NOT TO INSTALL the latest?
[10:26] <mwe> octol: oh
[10:27] <sonictwin> hmm is there a virus scanner for linux for that can scan a NTFS drive for viruses?
[10:27] <cara> sigh hello? how do I get the livecd to recognize my hard drive.  I'm using a Toshiba SATA
[10:27] <YetiChick> billy:  Yes, I backup to a directory on a separate hard drive and then burn a DVD every now and then from that directory.
[10:27] <billy> sonictwin, clamscan.
[10:27] <guitarra> (btw, I want to install g++ , gcc 4.1 is installed with the default Ubuntu installation
[10:27] <mwe> octol: that sucks.
[10:27] <octol> mwe; not really
[10:27] <mwe> octol: I see
[10:27] <billy> YetiChick, blessings upon you.
[10:27] <mwe> octol: I think so
[10:27] <octol> mwe; i boot lean and clean
[10:27] <sonictwin> billy: ill check it out, thanks
[10:27] <mwe> octol: loopback support is not clean? ;)
[10:28] <billy> sonictwin, I think the package name is clamav, though.  clamscan is the command that you'll enter into the command line.

[10:28] <Dev_CanLight> hi
[10:28] <VSpike> So, anyone got any ideas why it takes 5 or more seconds to open most GUI apps on my system?
[10:28] <augusto_feisty> guitarra: do it: apt-get install build-essential
[10:28] <d00d> r
[10:29] <VSpike> It's a X2 4400+ w/ 2GB
[10:29] <guitarra> augusto_feisty - what would that do?

[10:31] <sonictwin> billy: i'm downloading it now
[10:31] <Dev_CanLight> there is someone here that to past install CodeBlock with QT
[10:31] <guitarra> So I am truely sorry if I am asking stupid questions

[10:32] <K3rl0u4rn> ok people, another question for you all, suppose I have a system with configured applications such as web server, ftp server, printer drivers etc... I would like to reinstall a fresh system without loosing those parameters. Is there a way I should do that or should I do it all by hand ?
[10:32] <guitarra> is  ubotu a bot which responds to the   !info   keyword, or to every  "!" - prefixed keyword?
[10:33] <Nessieliberation> ubotu is a bot which responds to a lot of things
[10:33] <billy> guitarra, yeah.  certain keywords though.  !info <packagename> gives info on packages.
[10:33] <Dev_CanLight> someone to help me ?
[10:33] <guitarra> How can I obtain an IRC tutorial for that channel, without having to bother you people ?
[10:33] <Dev_CanLight> bye

[10:45] <Jaxster> Is there anyway to burn an image of how I have everything set up so I can reformat and install to new hd without reconfiguring everything again?
[10:45] <guitarra> Can't I type   !es | guitarra and message myself? I tried that but it didn't really work... I didn't see the bot output
[10:45] <SpaceBass> truecrypt seems to run fine, but when I try and mount a volume I get an error about failing to insmod the kerneal module
[10:45] <Ahorner> and is there any way to log onto root not from terminal
[10:45] <Ahorner> (sudo)
[10:45] <Pricey> guitarra, ubotu would have sent you a private message or two
[10:45] <jonty_rocks3> can someone make me a beryl script?
[10:45] <Ahorner> guitarra: you have to be regestered
[10:46] <hamlet> Jaxster: just copy the files. if you don't mess the permissions and install on the same partition everything will be fine
[10:46] <Ahorner> guitarra: and i cant spell today lol
[10:46] <cara> dudes seriously, I'm losing faith in the ubuntu community, I wouldn't be here asking if I hadn't already searched for myself
[10:46] <Pricey> jonty_rocks3, beryl is not for beginners. Scripts like that break machines. #ubuntu-effects for support

[10:47] <ubotu> guitarra: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (see also !Bot). Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops...
[10:47] <armyriad> Why does Ubuntu use a wacky version of OpenOffice?
[10:47] <pranxor> Jaxster: the easiest sollution would be to clone your disk with ghost or any similar image tool.
[10:47] <Ahorner> b33r: for what?
[10:47] <b33r> formatting a new drive
[10:47] <Nessieliberation> armyriad : define wacky..
[10:47] <hendrixski> :-( I don't have a $QTDIR variable set after installing qt3
[10:47] <arrinmurr> is it a known problem that sometimes firefox renders websites blank (grey) until the firefox window is resized? and is there a way to fix this?
[10:47] <armyriad> All the programs in OpenOffice have incorrect names and it doesn't include the whole suite.
[10:47] <Nessieliberation> oh
[10:48] <Ahorner> !gparted | b33r
[10:48] <ubotu> b33r: GParted is is a !GUI partitioning program. Type  sudo apt-get install gparted  in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[10:49] <jshriver> Does KDE have a memory bug? it keeps crashing on me when loading semi-large text files
[10:49] <hendrixski> to compile MythTV I need $PATH to include /usr/lib/qt3/bin ... but there isn't one... and I think I've installed every qt3 package there is
[10:49] <hendrixski> what should I include in my $PATH??
[10:49] <hamlet> cara: a lot of people indeed do ask without researching. what is your problem exactly?
[10:49] <hendrixski> or is there something separate I need to apt-get that will give me the /usr/lib/qt3/bin?
[10:49] <armyriad> So, could someone explain why Ubuntu uses a weird version of OpenOffice.Org?
[10:49] <cara> the livecd does not recognize my hard drive
[10:50] <jshriver> armyriad: it does? what's different or weird about it
[10:50] <mwe> armyriad: explain what you mean. I haven't noticed
[10:50] <cara> I've passed, pci=nomsi and grub doesn't recognize that command
[10:50] <niriven> Anyone here use JFS?
[10:50] <cara> that and a few other parameters
[10:50] <mwe> niriven: I used to
[10:50] <kitche> armyriad: it doesn't but what do you mean by weird
[10:50] <SpaceBass> truecrypt on server? anyone?
[10:50] <niriven> mwe: Why used?
[10:50] <petr478> hendrixski i do not know but what include file it does need? perhaps you have it but in different directory
[10:50] <cara> nolapic noapic apci=force irqpoll
[10:50] <armyriad> The programs in Openoffice are all named incorrectly. Plus, Ubuntu does not include the whole OpenOffice suite.
[10:50] <cara> nothing...
[10:51] <hamlet> cara: can you post the content of the file /var/log/messages in pastebin
[10:51] <cara> its a sata hdd
[10:51] <diabolix> where can i find the source code the kernel that ubuntu uses?
[10:51] <mwe> niriven: because it's supposed to be safe and I had have a reiserfs partition go haywire on me
[10:51] <cara> hamlet how would I copy them over?
[10:51] <kitche> armyriad: hmm they seem to be named correctly here
[10:51] <Xintruder> Hi
[10:51] <hamlet> !pastebin | cara
[10:51] <ubotu> cara: 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)
[10:51] <Xintruder> is installing ubuntu easier than gentoo ?
[10:51] <niriven> mwe: I mean, what made you not use it anymore?
[10:51] <mwe> niriven: It was slow when processing a lot of small files
[10:51] <cara> hamlet again, how would I copy them over, this is the livecd I'm using
[10:51] <Pricey> Xintruder, yes, see the pm from ubotu
[10:51] <kane77> Xintruder, yes!!
[10:51] <kitche> Xintruder: depends what you mean by easier
[10:51] <mwe> niriven: fast at large files, though.
[10:51] <cara> it doesn't recognize my hdd
[10:52] <h4wk0> Xintruder, very easy :)
[10:52] <hendrixski> petr478: where else would Ubuntu decide to build it?  I didn't build it myself, this is when I apt-get it
[10:52] <cara> I would have to boot into the livecd and write everything down on a sheet of paper
[10:52] <Xintruder> I mean faster, needing less reading, and more of next next maybe?
[10:52] <niriven> mwe: Yeah i noticed that :-/ its unbalanced. Could you recommend something a bit more balanced?
[10:52] <mwe> niriven: I mainly process many small files so I went to ext3
[10:52] <kane77> Xintruder, yes it is lot faster in this regard
[10:52] <mwe> niriven: ext3
[10:52] <hamlet> cara: open the file and copy the content. i'm not sure i understand your question
[10:52] <kitche> Xintruder: yeah less commands and such sorta like a windows install really
[10:52] <niriven> mwe: What about xfs? know anything about that at all?
[10:52] <mwe> niriven: only downside is the forced disk checks now and then
[10:52] <hamlet> cara: so you are not currently running the livecd?
[10:52] <cara> hamlet I cannot copy anything over, I'm not on the livecd because my wifi doesn't work in it and I don't have a wired connection.
[10:52] <cara> lol yes..
[10:53] <diabolix> the only problem i have with ubuntu is that its debian based.. is there another distro that does everything as well that doesn't use apt or any of the weird debian quirks?
[10:53] <mwe> niriven: I haven't used it personally but I heard you need a stable power supply or you could loose data
[10:53] <h4wk0> What is 6.06lts Server edition like on stabibility?
[10:53] <hamlet> cara: how do you exect us to help you then?
[10:53] <EmxBA> who can help me creating ubuntu logo like http://www.ubuntu.com/themes/ubuntu07/images/ubuntulogo.png ?
[10:53] <cara> anyway I have to go right now, thanks hamlet
[10:53] <niriven> mwe: Heh.
[10:53] <petr478> hendrixski: perhaps the build tool (make) is searching in different place. it may not know where apt-get installed them
[10:53] <mwe> niriven: supposedly XFS uses heavy caching
[10:53] <Ahorner> !gimp
[10:53] <ubotu> gimp is an advanced image manipulation application for Ubuntu. See http://www.gimp.org for tutorials and more information.
[10:53] <diabolix> xfs=hard on ram
[10:53] <niriven> mwe: Ah, so more ram needed?
[10:54] <diabolix> reiser=fast without too much ram usage
[10:54] <mwe> niriven: It should be blazing for file servers with millions of files
[10:54] <Pricey> EmxBA, you can easily get some vector versions of the logo I think
[10:54] <Nessieliberation> EmxBA: there should be svg versions
[10:54] <Nessieliberation> then use inkscape
[10:54] <mwe> niriven: I don't think so for normal usage
[10:54] <hendrixski> petr478: I haven't even gotten that far yet... "'m at the pre-configuring your system before installing myth" part
[10:54] <YetiChick> niriven:  I've used jfs, xfs, reiser3 and the various ext filesystems over the years.  I always end up going back to ext, so far.
[10:54] <Pricey> EmxBA, i think the ones you get for use on member's business cards are nice svgs... i'll find a link
[10:54] <EmxBA> thanks
[10:54] <niriven> Yeti: Ah, thanks. Thats what i figured. Can i convert my jfs to ext3?
[10:54] <zitch> niriven: XFS is *very* fast, though I have lost stuff when I ran it on my laptop and had to do an unclean shutdown.
[10:55] <mwe> niriven: I don't think you'll notice the difference between XFS and EXT3 on a personal computer
[10:55] <Xintruder> can i run ftp server on ubunto desktop edition ?
[10:55] <diabolix> xfs can save alot of battery on a laptop.
[10:55] <diabolix> Xintruder, yes.
[10:55] <mwe> niriven: but again I don't have personal expeirence with XFS
[10:55] <hamlet> niriven: you cant convert it. you have to copy your data somewhere, reformat and move it back
[10:55] <diabolix> Xintruder, i don't know of a linux that you can't...
[10:55] <YetiChick> niriven: XFS requires absolutely stable power, or you will eventually lose data.
[10:55] <mescon> hey everyone.. I'm trying to install Ubuntu 6.10 Server on an LSISAS1068 controller. The disks are properly mapped to /dev/sda, sdb and so on
[10:56] <hendrixski> niriven: I just had some issues with my JFS partition too... I think I'll be switching it back to ext3
[10:56] <mwe> YetiChick: I told him ;)
[10:56] <niriven> YetiChick: Sounds kinda iffy
[10:56] <b33r> Ahorner, should I make the new drive primary or extended partition?
[10:56] <Xintruder> Can I use any server software i want on a ubuntu desktop based software?
[10:56] <diabolix> yep.
[10:56] <tonyyarusso> Xintruder: I use vsftpd myself
[10:56] <YetiChick> mwe:  I missed it.  :)
[10:56] <tonyyarusso> !ftp | Xintruder
[10:56] <niriven> JFS seems ok, i just dont like how slow it is with large amounts of small files
[10:56] <ubotu> Xintruder: FTP clients: !Nautilus, !gFTP (for !GNOME) - !Konqueror, !Kasablanca, !KFTPGrabber (for !KDE) - See also !FTPd
[10:56] <tonyyarusso> !ftpd | Xintruder
[10:56] <ubotu> Xintruder: FTP servers: !ftpd, !proftpd, !pure-ftpd, !twoftpd, !vsftpd - Graphical front-ends: !PureAdmin, !GProftpd (for !GNOME), !KcmPureftpd (for !KDE) - See also !FTP
[10:56] <mwe> JFS is painfully slow when processing many small files. find takes forever
[10:56] <petr478> hendrixski: sorry, i was confused about header path versus path to binaries
[10:56] <mwe> so does unpacking large tarballs
[10:56] <Ahorner> b33r: well, what are you planning to do with it
[10:57] <hamlet> niriven: i use jfs for all my partitions and i'm very happy with it
[10:57] <octol> no glftpd ?
[10:57] <diabolix> in ubuntu, the prompt when you press the power button, is that gnome or something particular to ubuntu?
[10:57] <YetiChick> niriven: My primary reason for staying with ext3 on personal computers is the number of tools available for it.  Data recovery, specifically.
[10:57] <diabolix> proftpd!
[10:57] <hendrixski> petr478: I'll just keep googling it :-/  there's got to be something that I missed when apt-getting qt3
[10:57] <b33r> music/vids maybe some apps
[10:57] <niriven> hamlet: Yeah i am too, but it seems lik ei mess with smaller files rther then large
[10:57] <neuton> #xubuntu
[10:57] <neuton> sry
[10:57] <niriven> hamlet: And i wait, and wait :-0
[10:57] <petr478> hendrixski: i would try to find out what executables the scripts need
[10:58] <Ahorner> b33r: are you going to run the os on it or just store things
[10:58] <mwe> hamlet: I think it was very stable but I got fed up by the slowness when processing a lot of files. I guess that depends on your hardware as well, though.
[10:58] <YetiChick> niriven: *All* of the mature filesystems are good.  You have to look more at the specific circumstances and decide what's best for the use.
[10:58] <bokey> hi clamav package seems to be outdated in edgy.
[10:58] <Ahorner> b33r: nevermind. format it as an ex3 primary
[10:58] <b33r> Ahorner, store things so I geuss extended?
[10:58] <bokey> !clamav
[10:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about clamav - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:58] <YetiChick> niriven: Kind of like choosing an OS.  :)
[10:58] <excitatory_> is there a way to probe ones keyboard in order to figure out a way to configure these three 'special' buttons i have?  (it's a generic keyboard, with fancy 'sleep', 'wake up', and 'power' buttons.  i would like to configure them as volume keys for amarok)
[10:58] <b33r> Ahorner, primary?
[10:58] <Ahorner> hang on
[10:58] <kitche> bokey: yes it is versions are frozen in a release
[10:58] <niriven> Yeti: Yeah :), thanks
[10:58] <b33r> Ahorner, k thnx
[10:58] <kuma> hi, i don't know if this is the right channel to ask this, if not please tell me where i can find an appropiate one. I need an application to do diagrams both in linux and windows if possible that stores this diagrams in XML or another open standard method, thanks
[10:58] <niriven> Yeti: I guess ill go format under ext3
[10:58] <neuton> I just re-installed xubuntu edgy version,however I can not access my windows partition to listen to my music,can you guys help please?
[10:58] <petr478> hendrixski perhaps by creating empty gt dir and running the script
[10:58] <hamlet> mwe: maybe. i don't feel it is slower than ext3. but it may be subjective
[10:58] <bokey> ricky chan has provided a backport of version 0.90.1. why isn't it available in the repo yet ?
[10:59] <kitche> !backport | bokey
[10:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about backport - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[10:59] <Ahorner> yes, primary
[10:59] <Epic720> if gparted won't work on my raid array, What program can I use to format my raid array in ext3?
[11:00] <cyberkun> hello
[11:00] <diabolix> niriven, its been known to lose alot of data if you don't shutdown cleanly.
[11:00] <hendrixski> msg ubotu !qt3
[11:00] <petr478> After booting freshly installed kernel the suspend-to-disk did not resume previous session. Any ideas?
[11:00] <hendrixski> oops
[11:00] <mwe> hamlet: I'm positive things like unpacking tar.gz files of 50+ MB took ages longer with JFS for, though ;)
[11:00] <jshriver> Does KDE have a memory bug? it keeps crashing on me when loading semi-large text files
[11:00] <YetiChick> hamlet: The speed of a filesystem various so much depending on usage that a subjective view is really all most people will get on a home computer.
[11:00] <cyberkun> I need a little help with the upgrade manger
[11:00] <Epic720> can someone help me format my NTFS raid 0 array to ext3?
[11:00] <cyberkun> it will probly be stupied
[11:00] <b33r> Ahorner, k thnx
[11:00] <hamlet> niriven: look at the xfs faq: http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/faq.html. search for null
[11:00] <jshriver> or does anyone recommend a program like kdiff3?
[11:00] <zitch> niriven XFS seems to zero out files that were opened if the filesystem was not cleanly shutdown.  Though, at the time, I was running beryl (which was fairly unstable, especially with the fglrx drivers)...
[11:01] <petr478> Epic720 i think it is not done by gparted but mdadm
[11:01] <YetiChick> Epic720:  Hardware or software RAID?
[11:01] <niriven> I really like ufs on my freebsd machine, too bad linux doesnt have built in support for it
[11:01] <Epic720> hardware raid
[11:01] <kitche> niriven: it does just readonly
[11:01] <mwe> hamlet: unpacking the linux source takes about 15 seconds now I think. It used to take minutes
[11:01] <Epic720> how do I do it with mdadm?
[11:01] <niriven> kitche: Ah
[11:01] <mwe> hamlet: other than that I was happy with. never had any errors
[11:01] <YetiChick> Epic720: You need to create your RAID with the proper tools, first.  Usually, it can be done from within the RAID BIOS.
[11:01] <petr478> Epic720 mdadm does software raid only. but i recomned software
[11:01] <petr478> Epic720 see man page
[11:02] <knoppix_> i am using knoppix, but installed Kubuntu, it's great but it's failed to read my modem! S.O.S. Help! Anybody there?
[11:02] <hamlet> mwe: YetiChick: i respect your opitions. i don't wanted to start an fs war. just to express mine. thank you for sharing yours
[11:02] <YetiChick> Epic720: Then you need to load the correct kernel driver for your RAID.
[11:02] <niriven> Thanks all, much appreciated conversation!
[11:02] <dyrne> !winmodem | knoppix_
[11:02] <ubotu> knoppix_: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto
[11:02] <Epic720> YetiChick: I have mounted the drives and been using them, but now I want to format them in ext3
[11:02] <YetiChick> hamlet:  Was there a war?  I didn't notice.  :)
[11:02] <niriven> Yetichick: no war, just helpful insight
[11:03] <niriven> Noone here said anything about the best fs (which there isnt any) :)
[11:03] <cyberkun> iyea, what do I do about this. WHen I try to install something, even using the updater I keep getting this error. installArchives() failed . I do have Ubuntu 6.10
[11:03] <hamlet> YetiChick: nope. but i've seen it comming very fast often :-)
[11:03] <mwe> hamlet: I think every fs has it's best purpose
[11:03] <petr478> After booting freshly installed kernel the suspend-to-disk did not resume previous session. Any ideas?
[11:03] <hamlet> YetiChick: out of nowhere
[11:03] <Epic720> YetiChick: I have mounted the drives and been using them, but now I want to format them in ext3.
[11:03] <niriven> hamlet: Acutally im going to stick with jfs for now, it not too bad.
[11:04] <YetiChick> Epic720:  mkfs is used for that, but are you using them as individual drives, or as a RAID array?
[11:04] <armyriad> When is Feisty going to be released?
[11:04] <knoppix_>  i am using knoppix, but installed Kubuntu, it's great but it's failed to read my modem! S.O.S. Help! Anybody there?
[11:04] <Epic720> YetiChick: Raid array
[11:04] <mwe> hamlet: people tend to get very upset with a certain file system if they lost everything using it ;)
[11:04] <iamjk> is there some issue with 7.06, where the live cd runs and installs, but at startup it gives a black screen?
[11:04] <b33r> Ahorner, done now how should I mount it?
[11:04] <Ahorner> b33r: i dont really know lol
[11:04] <YetiChick> Epic720:  And they are already recognized by your OS as a RAID?
[11:04] <Ahorner> b33r: i'm pretty new
[11:04] <h4wk0> [22:01:57]  <ubotu> knoppix_: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto
[11:04] <bokey> kitche, clamav 0.90.1 is not in the edgy backport. deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy-backports main universe multiverse restricted
[11:04] <mwe> hamlet: that goes for me and reiserfs as well ;)
[11:05] <hamlet> mwe: yes. for that reason i wont considering xfs for a veeeery long time ;-)
[11:05] <Epic720> YetiChick: I was able to mount the raid using ntfs-3g
[11:05] <b33r> ;|
[11:05] <dyrne> iamjk: turn your monitor on
[11:05] <mwe> hamlet: good thinking
[11:05] <hamlet> mwe: yes. this is a piece of junk!
[11:05] <knoppix_> ty ibutu
[11:05] <iamjk> dyrne: I wish it was that simple
[11:05] <bokey> Epic720, you don't mount a raid
[11:05] <mwe> hamlet: it was very fast, though.
[11:05] <mwe> hamlet: at melting down
[11:05] <Epic720> bokey... yes you do.
[11:05] <YetiChick> Epic720: Okay...  Well, you don't format mounted drives.  And you're going to lose any data on them.  Okay so far?
[11:05] <b33r> Ahorner, and it's kinda weird took only 1 minute to make 80gb ext3
[11:05] <mwe> ;)
[11:06] <Epic720> YetiChick: yes, I unmounted it.
[11:06] <dyrne> iamjk: so it installed. do you get the loading screen at boot and just black when the gui starts?
[11:06] <niriven> My only fear about reiser is the whole legal case, and its future. I guess thats everyones
[11:06] <bokey> Epic720, raid is a concept. a fail over mechanism and it's default in Ubuntu
[11:06] <Ahorner> b33r: that's normal
[11:06] <YetiChick> bokey:  I know what Eipc720 means.
[11:06] <b33r> oh k
[11:06] <iamjk> dyrne: grub does it's thing, then the screen flickers then nothing
[11:06] <Flare183> Can I get some help?, I can't mount my MP3 player
[11:07] <zitch> hamlet: actually, for all of my ragging on XFS, I would consider it if I was doing video-processing or something that needs a large amount of scratch space.
[11:07] <knoppix_> j was already going through ubuntu,com however
[11:07] <mwe> Flare183: well mine just pops up as an usb disk
[11:07] <Epic720> YetiChick: I just would like to be able to format the array in ext3
[11:07] <b33r> anyone know how to mount a partition?
[11:07] <kitche> bokey: then you have to get it fromt heri website
[11:07] <Flare183> mwe:>my does nothing
[11:07] <bokey> kitche, heri website ?
[11:07] <YetiChick> Epic720: Then it's just basically "mkfs.ext3 -j </dev/whatever>".
[11:07] <kitche> bokey: clamav website
[11:07] <mwe> Flare183: do you know if it's behaving as a standard usb drive?
[11:07] <petr478> b33r sudo mount /dev/device /media/something
[11:07] <bokey> kitche, i found a backport for edgy @ http://www.ricky-chan.co.uk/ubuntu/dists/dapper/main/binary-i386/
[11:08] <Flare183> mwe:> it works fine on windows
[11:08] <octol> b33r; "mount -t ext3 -o <options> /dev/<device> /mnt/<mountpoint"
[11:08] <mwe> Flare183: or supposed to be
[11:08] <YetiChick> Epic720: Assuming you want a journal - which you probably do.
[11:08] <mwe> Flare183: yeah. like a normal external usb drive?
[11:08] <Epic720> YetiChick: ok, which do I use? /dev/mapper/pcb_BLAH, or /dev/sda? Because sda is just the single drive
[11:08] <kitche> bokey: ok so use that then since that's for dapper not edgy
[11:08] <Pricey> kitche, bokey, that's not a backport, its a 3rd party repository
[11:08] <Flare183> mwe:> yeah
[11:08] <bokey> kitche, could any canonical dev atleast put it in the main edgy backports ?
[11:08] <mwe> Flare183: hmm.
[11:08] <bokey> Pricey, it's not i know.
[11:08] <RedLobster> dear god, i just talked to some people in the haiku team (beos clone) and they are keeping the beos api, naming functions "b_draw_window" for instance, instead of e.g. "haiku_draw_window".
[11:08] <dyrne> iamjk: sounds like another issue but if you have the livecd you could try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2404557
[11:08] <bokey> :)
[11:08] <kitche> Pricey: I know it's not a backport
[11:08] <hamlet> zitch: cool. but the speed turned to a second important property for me (next to reliability) after losing data
[11:08] <Pricey> bokey, request a backport then
[11:08] <kitche> bokey: umm they don't accept packages from 3rd party
[11:09] <YetiChick> Epic720: You have more than one drive, right?
[11:09] <mwe> Flare183: I'd check if the usb modules were loaded. usb_storage is essential I think. ehci-hcd etc
[11:09] <Epic720> YetiChick: yes, 2
[11:09] <Juanca> Hi everybody. How can I clean up my repositories?
[11:09] <bokey> kitche, i should learn diff properly. :(
[11:09] <Ahorner> sudo apt-get install cheese :-)
[11:09] <Flare183> mwe:> my usb flash drive mount and they work fine on Ubuntu
[11:09] <bokey> kitche, maybe manually diff the packages source and see
[11:09] <Ahorner> mwe: fdisk -l
[11:09] <mwe> Flare183: odd
[11:09] <hamlet> Juanca: what do you want to do exactly?
[11:10] <Ahorner> Flare183: fdisk -l
[11:10] <mwe> Flare183: check the output of 'dmesg' after you plug it in
[11:10] <zitch> Flare183: What model of MP3 player is it?
[11:10] <h4wk0> sudo rm -rf *
[11:10] <Ahorner> zitch: i think itsa flash drive
[11:10] <Flare183> GPX MW3818
[11:10] <b33r> octol, can u pls b more specific with <options> and <mountpoint> ?
[11:10] <Ahorner> or not
[11:10] <h4wk0> !server
[11:10] <ubotu> Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is 6.06. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/ - The #ubuntu-server channel provides specific support
[11:11] <Ahorner> !sudo
[11:11] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[11:11] <YetiChick> Epic720: Um...  Okay.  You usually see "/dev/mapper/blah" when you're using LVM to make your RAID.  I'm used to seeing a hardware RAID show up as "/dev/sdX"
[11:11] <Ahorner> is there a way to run a root permissions gui?
[11:11] <poningru> Ahorner: like nautilus?
[11:11] <Ahorner> like have root privelages to right click move to trash
[11:11] <poningru> in a terminal type gksudo nautilus
[11:11] <Epic720> YetiChick: I originally had troubles mounting my array, I installed dmraid and was able to see it under /dev/mapper.
[11:11] <Ahorner> ok sweet
[11:12] <poningru> make sure you use gksudo
[11:12] <Ahorner> k
[11:12] <Flare183> zitch:>GPX MW3818
[11:12] <poningru> sudo will screw you up
[11:12] <mwe> Ahorner: running the whole system as root is a bad idea (TM)
[11:12] <Epic720> YetiChick: There was never a folder named sdx
[11:12] <Ahorner> mwe: :-p
[11:12] <biff_> anyone had any luck using Compiz or Beryl with a Radeon X1400?
[11:12] <hariseldon> poningru; lol re:" sudo will screw you up"
[11:12] <bokey> Pricey, kitche who are the people responsible for backports ?
[11:12] <Flare183> biff:>i have beryl working with my Radeon 9000 Series
[11:12] <kitche> bokey: the developers of ubuntu
[11:12] <mwe> biff_: you'll probably get more help in #ubuntu-effects
[11:13] <ompaul> h4wk0, the request for people to that that is not considered funny come back in 24 hours
[11:13] <bokey> kitche, heh
[11:13] <YetiChick> Epic720: dmraid.  Ah... Okay...  Well, then, in your case, you're going to use the "/dev/mapper/blah" device.
[11:13] <Ahorner> now how do i end nautilus
[11:13] <DimaKorzhevin> I had problems with radeon cards...
[11:13] <Pricey> bokey, I think the easiest way would be to request one in the backports section on the forums
[11:13] <bokey> !backports
[11:13] <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
[11:13] <biff_> is that using the open source drivers, Flare183?
[11:13] <Epic720> ok
[11:13] <YetiChick> Epic720:  I didn't mean a literal "X".  :)
[11:13] <Epic720> got ya
[11:13] <biff_> thanks mwe, I'll check that out
[11:13] <Juanca> hamlet: I get a some problems when I update Synaptic, and I thisk that's because I alter the repositories file inappropriately
[11:13] <Flare183> biff:>using the radeon driver on the xorg.conf file
[11:13] <octol> b33r; i use "mount -t ext3 -o ro,noatime /dev/hdd1 /ftp/files" to mount an ext3 partition that houses media files
[11:14] <Epic720> so just to clarify, the command would be: mkfs.ext3 -j </dev/mapper/X>
[11:14] <hamlet> Juanca: you added stuff to /etc/apt/sources.list or you used synaptic for adding repositories?
[11:14] <Juanca> hamlet: yes I did
[11:14] <octol> b33r; it's the first partition on the 4th drive, "ro" is read-only since the files don't change,
[11:14] <YetiChick> Epic720:  That "hardware" RAID you have isn't what I think of as a real hardware RAID.  Um...  Yes, that should work fine.  You're going to use the same device that shows when you do a df.
[11:14] <Epic720> and I use the one with the highest number, like pdc_bcbgddd1
[11:15] <hamlet> Juanca: in any case you can edit /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the repos you don't want. as root of course
[11:15] <octol> b33r; does that help any ?
[11:15] <b33r> k lemme try :/
[11:15] <YetiChick> Epic720: So, when you do a df, and the drive is mounted, what device it shows is the device you format when it's unmounted.
[11:15] <petr478> After booting freshly installed kernel the suspend-to-disk did not resume previous session. Any ideas?
[11:15] <Juanca> hamlet: I'm not sure I will do it right this time, and I don't want to risk
[11:16] <Flare183> mwe, zitch:> any luck?
[11:16] <YetiChick> Epic720: And I know that wasn't a very clear sentence, so if I confused ou, let me know.  :)
[11:16] <Epic720> YetiChick: ok, Thank you for your help up to this point. I do have a PCI hardware controller that the drives are connected to. Should I be going about this in a different way?
[11:16] <mwe> Flare183: luck?
[11:16] <Epic720> BTW, these drives are not root drives.
[11:16] <Flare183> mwe:> on help me with my problem
[11:16] <hamlet> Juanca: instead of deleting you can just comment lines out. puting # infront of a line does comment it. so you can reenable it if someting goes wrong
[11:16] <hamlet> Juanca: no harm if you just comment stuff out
[11:16] <Flare183> hold on
[11:17] <Juanca> hamlet: let me tell you what are the problems  that promp...
[11:17] <zitch> Flare183: Unfortunately, no.  I actually can't find that specific model, but I did find the MW3347.  I can't find anything relating to linux with it though.
[11:17] <YetiChick> Epic720: No, you're fine.  :)  It's just that in most "servers", a hardware RAID shows up as a SCSI device when its driver is loaded.
[11:17] <mwe> Flare183: did you try what I suggested?
[11:17] <Epic720> ok, I will try that command
[11:18] <Flare183> mwe:>http://pastebin.ca/437075
[11:18] <syntaxx> im having a problem integrating mysql+samba i can login using smbclient on linux machine but when i tried to access the file server using windows it wont let me any of you have idea?
[11:18] <YetiChick> Epic720: The most it should do is destroy the data on those drives.  As always, be *very* careful when typing a format command.  One typo cancause immense damage.
[11:19] <kbidd> has anybody successfully gotten 6.10 installed under microsoft virtual pc?  (I'm using the alternative CD since the graphics dont work on the desktop-iso, but my install keeps freezing at 34% of the way through "installing the base system", with no error messages)
[11:19] <mwe> Flare183: It is suggesting the cable is bad. Is it? probably not if it works in windows.
[11:19] <Flare183> yeah i know
[11:19] <mwe> Flare183: does it work in another port?
[11:20] <hamlet> syntaxx: you have to change the authentication method for windows. google for it (samba windows xp login) or so. i don't remember the exact changes to the registry you have to make
[11:20] <Epic720> Yetichick: I made sure the command was correct with what you said. Typed it in. and it is currently "Writing inode tables". Thank you so much!
[11:20] <Juanca> hamlet: first, when I Reload the progress bar freezes at sme point (84 of 90 files)
[11:20] <YetiChick> Epic720: Glad to help.  :)
[11:21] <syntaxx> hamlet: ok
[11:21] <Epic720> YetiChick: And I am very glad you did help. Earlier this morning I couldn't get a single soul to help.
[11:21] <hamlet> Juanca: this may be a temporary unavailable server. try it tomorow and if it persist comment the offending server out
[11:21] <Juanca> hamlet: then it says it can't download this repositories: http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/repo/dists/edgy/Release.gpg

[11:21] <YetiChick> Epic720: To be fair, it's hard to help everyone.  Patience is the key.
[11:22] <vox754> Juanca, the ops are coming...
[11:22] <Pricey> vox754, no they're not :)
[11:22] <Flare183> mwe:> nope
[11:22] <Pricey> Juanca, please use the pastebin next time, details frmo ubotu
[11:22] <mwe> Flare183: I haven't encoutered anything like that before. Did you have to install extra drivers for it in windows?
[11:22] <Flare183> mwe:> no
[11:22] <vox754> Pricey, hey there, where can I get the source for ubotu?
[11:22] <Flare183> mwe:> just plug in use

[11:23] <zitch> Flare183: no having to put in a CD and install something before hand in Windows?
[11:23] <Pricey> vox754, and then the extra plugin is at bots.ubuntulinux.nl/code
[11:23] <hamlet> Juanca: than try to comment them out
[11:23] <Flare183> zitch:> nope
[11:23] <YetiChick> Epic720: Time for me to head home.  Good night.
[11:24] <Pricey> Jump86, make it executable and then place its location in system > prefs > Sessions > startup
[11:24] <Jump86> which chmod should i use?
[11:24] <vox754> Pricey, you mean I can get a copy of ubotu, and then add my personal factoids, obviously in another channel?
[11:24] <Pricey> vox754, yes
[11:24] <Pricey> Jump86, +x
[11:25] <Jump86> and where should i store the file
[11:25] <Pricey> Jump86, wherever you want

[11:30] <IgorSobreira> what_if: i need to install it...thats right?
[11:30] <Floker> sth like wurmex
[11:30] <Artemis3> Dimetera, and i recommend you burn xubuntu alternate

[11:31] <hamlet> walterdimov: gnome-terminal has proprties dialog and you can specify the font there
[11:31] <roadfish> "date" is acting screwy. When I installed feisty a few days ago, I specified EDT (4 hours ahead of Greenwich mean) as my timezone. Then, I booted up Ubuntu and the time was 4 hours ahead. So I set the time back by 4 hours. But this setting messes up my other Linux install and, also, disagrees with my BIOS time.
[11:31] <what_if> IgorSobreira: its a separate program

[11:34] <qebab> Okay, so I have this "HTTP Cache Cleaner" popping up every now and then, is there a way to either make it stop coming in the workspace I'm currently in or make it stop popping up at all?
[11:34] <roadfish> zitch: yes, the Feisty insntall is using the clock os UTC ... what should I do?
[11:34] <zilly66> anyone know of a good CSS irc channel?
[11:34] <octol> b33r; which part ?
[11:35] <b33r> sudo mount -t ext3 -o /dev/hdb1 /media/newdrive is this right or no?
[11:35] <Floker> one problem that cannot be solved using apt-get, i want to have a smoke, but i dont have a lighter
[11:35] <Chetwin> Just recently I noticed that the volume controls on my keyboard are controlling the PCM instead of the Master volume.  Can anyone suggest an option to change my volume controls back to master control?
[11:35] <qebab> Floker, use your cooking plate
[11:35] <octol> b33r; that looks very close, but not quite
[11:35] <qebab> then quickly run outside
[11:35] <zitch> roadfish: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime?action=show&redirect=ChangeTimezoneHowto
[11:35] <hamlet> Chetwin: right click on the sound slider on your panel, select "settings" (or so) and change the default control to master or whatever you want
[11:35] <kbidd> Floker, steal some matches from a restaurant :P
[11:35] <Floker> thx qebab good ideas, both of em
[11:35] <octol> b33r; just drop the "-o" if you don't need any extended options
[11:36] <zitch> At the bottom, it has some instructions on how to reset the UTC setting.
[11:36] <roadfish> zitch: tnx
[11:36] <qebab> Not an idea, experience :x
[11:36] <b33r> oh was wondering what o means anyway lol
[11:36] <Chetwin> ty!
[11:36] <octol> b33r; sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb1 /media/newdrive
[11:36] <qebab> So does anyone actually know what HTTP Cache Cleaner does and how it works? Or more importantly how I can configure it
[11:36] <zitch> roadfish: under "Make Linux use 'Local' time"
[11:36] <walterdimov> imagine that you dont have X, where should you be? That console! (sorry for bad english)
[11:36] <Floker> sudo apt-get install xigarette-lighter
[11:37] <octol> b33r; -o can be used to set the drive read-only, no acess time updates, no file execution, etc
[11:37] <b33r> b33r@b33r:~$ sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb1 /media/newdrive
[11:37] <b33r> mount: mount point /media/newdrive does not exist
[11:37] <nikin_> i use ubuntu-lite.. what do i have to install to automatically handle plugged in USB devices?
[11:37] <hamlet> walterdimov: you have to pass option to the kernel on boot for that. the thing is called "virtual console"
[11:37] <octol> "mkdir /media/newdrive" ?
[11:38] <b33r> done :D
[11:39] <b33r> anyways will it be permanent?
[11:39] <octol> b33r; df -hm should now reflect the new drive, and its free space
[11:39] <walterdimov> hamlet: where can I find that options?
[11:39] <sk4jvoker> i have 2 network cards and i have internet in one and lan i the second one how do i get internet to the lan :) , any link or something :)
[11:39] <octol> b33r; to make it permanent, use "/etc/fstab"
 b33r; df -hm should now reflect the new drive, and its free space
[11:40] <b33r> ?
[11:40] <kbidd> When installing from the alternate CD, the install stalls while installing the base system... the console output shows "Apr 12 17:31:20 debootstrap: Setting up ubuntu-minimal (1.30) ..."  and no error messages below it... any ideas what is going wrong?
[11:40] <Msword> hello
[11:40] <Msword> !iso
[11:40] <ubotu> To mount an ISO disc image, type  sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint>  - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[11:40] <dobblego> sk4jvoker, google "how to use linux as a router"?
[11:40] <sk4jvoker> ok
[11:40] <Death_Sargent> nm applet does ot work properly
[11:40] <b33r> nvm
[11:40] <octol> b33r; df is command line to show free space on your drives
[11:40] <Msword> what is an ISO burner for windows?
[11:40] <Death_Sargent> won't show any networks
[11:40] <Death_Sargent> img burn
[11:40] <nikin_> i use ubuntu-lite.. what do i have to install to automatically handle plugged in USB devices?
[11:40] <qebab> So no one actually knows anything about the HTTP Cache Cleaner?
[11:41] <UNDERsoN> !kernel
 b33r; to make it permanent, use "/etc/fstab" how? lol
[11:41] <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
[11:41] <dobblego> why does nautilus do nothing when I try to burn a CD on edgy?
[11:41] <octol> b33r; my fault , edit the /etc/fstab file in your favorite text editor and include the new drive
[11:41] <chili555> domo arigato, mr. ubotu
[11:41] <Death_Sargent> nm-applet won't detect wireless networks
[11:41] <kbidd> Msword, thats not really a question for this channel, but most CD burning applications can burn ISOs (eg. nero)
[11:42] <hamlet> walterdimov: start with that http://enterprise.linux.com/article.pl?sid=06/05/04/1621224&tid=39&tid=89

[11:43] <UNDERsoN> Anybody knew name of openobex gnome-vfs plugin
[11:43] <canadianman> how would i combine a subtitle file (srt) to an avi?
[11:44] <dobblego> are there any other applications for burning CDs besides nautilus?
[11:44] <UNDERsoN> canadian vlc or so on
[11:44] <octol> b33r; "/dev/hdb1   /media/newdrive  ext3"
[11:44] <chili555> dobblego K3b
[11:44] <dobblego> chili555, cheers
[11:44] <rage0ne> hey all
[11:44] <whtet> is scp part of ssh package?
[11:44] <canadianman> i want to hard code the subtitles
[11:44] <hamlet> canadianman: you don't have to. just give the avi and the subtitle the same names and put them in a common directory. all players will play them togehter per default
[11:45] <UNDERsoN> canadianman What You wanna do. Just watch?
[11:45] <hamlet> canadianman: avi containers does not support subtitles
[11:45] <b33r> octol, ok 1 more thing lol I can't add anything to new drive without using sudo
[11:45] <hamlet> canadianman: use something else: matroska, ogm...
[11:45] <b33r> I should've used -o I think right?
[11:46] <octol> b33r; sorry, i assumed you were using root
[11:46] <octol> b33r; yes, fstab is typically only editable by root
[11:46] <b33r> I edited fstab
[11:46] <canadianman> i would like have my movie all in one place, reason for combining the subs and movie together
[11:46] <b33r> but I mean using the new drive with nautilus adding stuff to it
[11:47] <plus_M> Hi I'm trying to cross compile VLC-svn for win32 and when I run ./configure it complains about $AM_PATH_LIBGCRYPT being undefined, but I have libgcrypt installed
[11:47] <madman91> hey
[11:47] <madman91> what is a good rss viewer?
[11:47] <octol> if you have your user write permission set on "/media/newdrive" you shouldn't need root
[11:48] <hamlet> madman91: i use liferea. i don't know if it's good for you
[11:48] <b33r> well it seems it's not
[11:48] <canadianman> does mplayer combine srt and avi when it plays the movie by default
[11:48] <octol> b33r; "chmod 777 /media/newdrive" will allow all users to read and write to the newdrive
[11:48] <madman91> hamlet: thanks
[11:48] <octol> b33r; ... as root
[11:49] <bokey> plus_M, wrong place
[11:49] <hamlet> canadianman: if they have the same base names and are in the same directory - yes.
[11:49] <plus_M> bokey, well I'm doing it in Ubuntu
[11:49] <madman91> hamlet: do you use that with mozilla or by itsself?
[11:49] <b33r> k worked
[11:49] <b33r> thnx for ur time :)
[11:49] <plus_M> I figured if I asked it in both #ubuntu and #videolan I would get help somewhere
[11:49] <octol> b33r; gald to be of service :)
[11:49] <hamlet> madman91: this is standalone application. the firefox integration is not very good. but it plays quiet nicely with epiphany
[11:50] <b33r> let me restart and if it's still b there ;d
[11:50] <madman91> hamlet: thanks.. i decided on using the standalone
[11:50] <madman91> hamlet: it looks good
[11:50] <piratepenguin> "Gutsy will not be an LTS" huh? I thought every 3rd release would be LTS. This is the third release, isn't it?
[11:51] <hamlet> madman91: take a look at www.gnomefiles.com for other ideas though
[11:51] <Pricey> piratepenguin, no-one said every 3rd release :)
[11:51] <spikeb> nobody said every third release, afaik.
[11:51] <hamlet> madman91: sorry www.gnomefiles.org
[11:51] <spikeb> and there isnt a need for a LTS yet
[11:51] <frojnd> how do I check what hardware do I have ?
[11:51] <piratepenguin> Pricey, hmm.. I picked it up somewhere a long time ago. guess it was bad info
[11:51] <Pricey> piratepenguin, LTS's happen when the development of components reaches a stable and mature "plateau", supportable for a long time.
[11:52] <piratepenguin> Pricey, ah k, thanks
[11:52] <bokey> piratepenguin, but that's never a case. LTS -> Long Time Surpise
[11:52] <frojnd> how do I check what hardware do I have ?
[11:52] <defjux> how do i search for a package?   "apt-get search libvisual-plugins" ?
[11:52] <pieman> if i want to be able to connect to my computer from outside my house (and perform command line operations on my computer)....what is it I need to be searching for on google to help me do it?
[11:52] <piratepenguin> bokey, lol
[11:52] <Bales> Anyone know if XGL works on an Nvidia GeForce 7600GS?
[11:53] <macd> defjux, yes, or packages.ubuntu.com for a contextual serach
[11:53] <frojnd> defjux: apt-cache search package
[11:53] <defjux> ah cache
[11:53] <defjux> ty
[11:53] <chili555> frojnd sudo lshw?
[11:53] <macd> pieman, you want openSSH
[11:53] <H1tm3n> safe graphics didn't work out, it just hangs and doesn't send any signals to monitor. Ubuntu 6.06 64bit, X800GT
[11:53] <H1tm3n> can anyone help?
[11:53] <H1tm3n> I mean
[11:53] <chili555> frojnd or sudo lspci -v
[11:53] <macd> pieman, so, on your computer 'sudo apt-get install openssh-server' and make sure your router/nat device forwards port 22 to the outside world.
[11:53] <H1tm3n> Will ubuntu work if I install them?
[11:54] <H1tm3n> that is, is this only live cd problem?

[11:54] <macd> H1tm3n, stay away from 64bit, use 32bit.
[11:54] <pieman> ok cool
[11:54] <pieman> thanks
[11:54] <H1tm3n> macd why?
[11:54] <defjux> del@del-desktop:~/Desktop/libvisual-0.4.0$ sudo apt-get libvisual-0.4-plugins
[11:54] <defjux> E: Invalid operation libvisual-0.4-plugins
[11:55] <macd> H1tm3n, 64bit linux isnt ready for your desktop.
[11:55] <defjux> why doesnt that work?
[11:55] <Pricey> defjux, apt-get install
[11:55] <macd> defjux, sudo apt-get install
[11:55] <defjux> eyeroll thanks pricey
[11:55] <kbidd>  has anybody successfully gotten 6.10 installed under microsoft virtual pc?  (I'm using the alternative CD since the graphics dont work on the desktop-iso, but my install keeps freezing at 45% of the way through "installing the base system" -- at "configuring makedev", with no error messages)
[11:56] <macd> kbidd, ms vpc 2007?
[11:56] <ffm> Ubotu is a supybot, right?
[11:56] <frojnd> chili555: hm, cant see how fast memmory i have...

[11:57] <kbidd> macd, yes
[11:57] <d00d> weird how x wont load in livecd
[11:57] <mzanfardino> I'd like to compare two directories and get a report of the differences.  What is the best tool for this?
[11:57] <Tahir_H> Easy question: how do I search for files in the easiest way possible?  (not command line but I will learn that later)
[11:57] <H1tm3n> macd 32-bit kubuntu wouldn't run either
[11:58] <clearzen> Tahir_H: if you want a GUI use beagle or tracker
[11:58] <Tahir_H> cheers clearzen
[11:58] <macd> H1tm3n, yeah, mnost likely you need to use the alternate install CD>
[11:58] <pieman> macd, if i currently use a vpn client to connect to my campus, does that mean my router already forwards port 22 out?
[11:58] <macd> pieman, no.
[11:59] <yxairyggen> How do I add startup-programs i gnome?
[11:59] <Darwin> when will the 7.04 Release Candidate be released?
[12:00] <yxairyggen> Darwin, The 19:th I think
[12:00] <nero> say, if I was to upgrade to the Fiesty beta, when the final version comes out, is it as easy as doing a sudo apt-get upgrade
[12:00] <nero> ?
[12:00] <nero> or would I have to download the new disks and re-install from scratch?
[12:00] <benoitc_> apt-get dist-upgrade
[12:00] <macd> nero, no, its just apt-get upgrade or dist-upgrade
[12:00] <Darwin> According to Wikipedia, the 7.04 release candidate comes out today
[12:00] <Pricey> Darwin, day or two... however may be after weekend.
[12:00] <RedLobster> does anyone know how to reorganize row/columns in an OpenOffice spreadsheet?
