[12:01] <sethk> alienbrain, usbdisk, I believe is the name
[12:01] <hellbound1> something didn't allow it to go completely when I ran the half hour long download there was still something left it was at 99% when I tried for it
[12:01] <sethk> alienbrain, there are two modules levels you need
[12:01] <hellbound1> its extracting alot now
[12:01] <sethk> alienbrain, the low level one, which depends on the usb hardware, is loaded, as you noted.
[12:01] <iShock> Is there some sort of script creator like Microsoft Visual Basic?
[12:01] <dyrne> hellbound1: yeah itll take a while
[12:01] <rausb0> tuskernini: btw, i assumed eth0 is the interface connected to the router. is that true?
[12:01] <sethk> alienbrain, the usbdisk driver is one level up, and emulates a disk for a usb device
[12:01] <Guest11549> mcphail You think that if I haven't a static ip I never can send mail (not-spam) to another address?
[12:02] <sethk> alienbrain, so you need both to do what you want to do.
[12:02] <Tarkus> hey, anyone know why certain programs that i have open (firefox, thunderbird, totem, etc..) stay in the taskbar when i switch to a different workspace? (it does this even when desktop effects are disabled). i have re-installed ubuntu 3 times and it still does that. i cant seem to figure it out, any ideas?
[12:02] <tuskernini> rausb0: can it be because i use a wireless and it is actually eth1? I am dumping again... can you test once more?
[12:02] <dyrne> hellbound1: sometimes there is something you need in universe. if it cant find a package you might need to sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment remove the # from in front of the deb urls. the save and exit and sudo apt-get update
[12:02] <iShock> Is there some sort of script creator like Microsoft Visual Basic?
[12:03] <rausb0> tuskernini: alright
[12:03] <mcphail> Guest11549: you will be on the DUL (dynamic user list) at MAPS. The only way around it is to set your server to relay mail to your ISP
[12:03] <rausb0> tuskernini: so?
[12:03] <iShock> Tarkus: It's supposed to?
[12:03] <tuskernini> rausb0: nada
[12:03] <hellbound1> its unpacking a bunch of stuff now
[12:03] <rausb0> tuskernini: hmmm
[12:03] <tuskernini> rausb0: damn.. how do you test?
[12:03] <mcphail> Guest11549: if it is any consolation, i feel your pain
[12:03] <iShock> Is there some sort of script creator like Microsoft Visual Basic?
[12:03] <rausb0> tuskernini: test with nc (netcat)
[12:03] <Seb> is there any way to convert an existing debian system into an ubuntu one ?
[12:03] <tuskernini> rausb0: shoud i not have verbose mode on?
[12:03] <Seb> without reinstalling from scratch ?
[12:04] <rausb0> tuskernini: verbose mode of what?
[12:04] <dyrne> Seb:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation   yep
[12:04] <Tarkus> iShock, well i have my taskbar prefs set to "show only windows from current workspace.. and its only those 3 programs that i mentioned.
[12:04] <tuskernini> rausb0: the command you gave me
[12:04] <iShock> Tarkus: IDK then
[12:04] <iShock> Is there some sort of script creator like Microsoft Visual Basic?
[12:04] <dougsko> iShock: no VB, but linux is pretty much a scripter's dream. even bash is a programming environment
[12:05] <rausb0> tuskernini: no, it should display you tcp port 22 packets if there were any
[12:05] <Dandre> mcphail:
[12:05] <Dandre> what do you think about this:
[12:05] <Dandre> dd if=/dev/sda of=/mnt/usbdrive/sda-backup
[12:05] <Dandre> then
[12:05] <Dandre> dd of=/dev/sda if=/mnt/usbdrive/sda-backup
[12:05] <Seb> dyrne: i don't see it I think
[12:05] <slackbr> how i close, and stop to start cups at boot ?
[12:05] <iShock> dougsko, is there a program like it for a Linux scripting language, that uses interfaces instead of you having to type the script?
[12:05] <tuskernini> rausb0: ah.. ok thanks will do the port forwarding again...
[12:05] <mcphail> Dandre: how large is your usb drive?
[12:06] <dougsko> iShock: i dont think so...i mean, even in VB, you still have to write it, dont you?
[12:06] <rausb0> tuskernini: that's why i don't rely on crappy hardware routers. i use a linux box as my router, doing NAT and port forwarding.
[12:06] <dyrne> Seb: sorry thought it was on that page. it is possible
[12:06] <iShock> dougsko, it has like something to click and add buttons to it...
[12:06] <Dandre> I have +200 G of free space mcphail
[12:06] <Tarkus> Anyone know why certain programs that i have open (firefox, thunderbird, totem, etc..) stay in the taskbar when i switch to a different workspace? (it does this even when desktop effects are disabled). i have re-installed ubuntu 3 times and it still does that. i cant seem to figure it out, any ideas?
[12:06] <andres_ubuntu> holaa....
[12:07] <andres_ubuntu> alguieen habla espaol aqui?
[12:07] <rausb0> !es
[12:07] <ubotu> Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[12:07] <IrishDave> iShock, if you look up Qt, i think it provides what you are looking for and you can use it with C++ or some other languages
[12:07] <dougsko> iShock: there are things like that to help you write GUIs, like Glade, but 99% of scripts dont really need a GUI
[12:07] <mcphail> Dandre: do you have anything you need to keep on the usb drive?
[12:07] <Dandre> mcphail: yes I do
[12:07] <iShock> IrishDave, Link me?
[12:07] <mcphail> Dandre: that command will obliterate everything on the usb drive
[12:08] <IrishDave> iShock, www.google.co.uk
[12:08] <dougsko> iShock: and there are easy hooks to GTK, Tk, QT for pretty much every scripting language.  you have to write stuff yourself, but it's really not that hard
[12:08] <IrishDave> its open source but there is a company who provide support
[12:08] <IrishDave> Trolltech
[12:08] <IrishDave> iShock, there are ubuntu packages as well
[12:08] <cp> can anyone help me with why  i dont see the startup after the grub boot ?
[12:08] <iShock> !qt
[12:08] <ubotu> Qt is the Q toolkit, which forms the base of KDE and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI. Install the libqt3-mt-dev package to compile Qt applications
[12:09] <GrueTamer> cp: are you waiting for it, because it can take awhile
[12:09] <Dandre> mcphail:  I don't understand why. I want to create one large 80G file with all my disque image
[12:09] <benanz2> you want to see output on your console while booting?
[12:09] <sp1d3r> hi
[12:09] <dougsko> iShock: my advice would be to learn some bash scripting. its simple, but very powerful, once you get the basics, your commandline skill will level up many times :)
[12:09] <iShock> dougsko, tut?
[12:09] <hellbound1> dougske:where could I find a tut?
[12:09] <dougsko> iShock: one sec...
[12:09] <cp> i dont see anything after the grub loading part.. just black until it boots to X  ... is this normal
[12:09] <NickGarvey> 18:09 You advanced in command line usage.
[12:10] <mcphail> Dandre: that command doesn't create a file - it bitwise copies the filesystem.
[12:10] <GrueTamer> cp: that sounds like a boot failure
[12:10] <diginet> Hello everyone, im here in the IRC because i had a problem installing the recent ATI DRIVERS in my kubuntu. I follow all the Second method in  http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Feisty_Installation_Guide  - fglrxinfo trows me {MESA GLX DRIVERS|
[12:10] <slackbr> how i close, and stop to start cups at boot ?
[12:10] <cp> ?
[12:10] <cp> how so?
[12:10] <GrueTamer> cp: do you get, like, busybox or something?
[12:10] <IrishDave> iShock, the problem with QT is you need quite a bit of programming knowledge to make ur programs do anything useful, QT only really provides the GUI
[12:10] <dougsko> iShock: http://pegasus.rutgers.edu/~elflord/unix/bash-tute.html
[12:10] <GrueTamer> or do you want to see the verbose output of the boot process/
[12:10] <Answer> !ati | diginet
[12:10] <ubotu> diginet: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:10] <mcphail> Dandre: you _can_ easily create a file instead, but you can't write an 80GB file to FAT32
[12:10] <GrueTamer> ?*
[12:10] <cp> nothing Blank screen for about 30 sec then it starts ubuntu gnome
[12:10] <Dandre> so what command should I use mcphail?
[12:10] <benanz2> do you see the ubuntu logo and progress bar?
[12:10] <GrueTamer> cp: hmm....
[12:11] <dougsko> iShock: i found that by googling 'bash scripting tutorial'
[12:11] <GrueTamer> try booting into recovery mode, see if an answer is there
[12:11] <GrueTamer> but at least the system works
[12:11] <cp> benanz2,  no nothing
[12:11] <Answer> cp: this is on a laptop?  it sounds like the terminal display does not work.  what happens if you go to CTRL+ALT+F2 ?  I bet it is just black there too.  CTRL+ALT+F7 restores to X
[12:11] <bobbob1016> anyone know how to unhide/delete hidden truecrypt files?
[12:11] <cp> i had to edit my  horz on verti
[12:11] <mon^rch> soundrecorder isn't working properly (not able to play back what I've recorded) is ther an alternat piece of software so I cn record my guitar?
[12:11] <cp> 1 sec let me try that
[12:12] <benanz2> trying editing your /boot/grub/menu.lst and comment out the word "quiet" under the section for your default kernel, see if that produces console output.
[12:12] <dougsko> iShock: the best part about bash scripting is, youre already in a bash environment (your shell). your CLI-fu will become strong
[12:12] <cp> ok
[12:12] <cp> when i press  ctrl alt f2 i see the terminal
[12:13] <cp> but in a  640*680 screen
[12:13] <cp> why is that?
[12:13] <Baktaah> Is there a way to "save" ur session when you reboot, like in Xubuntu?
[12:13] <Dandre> may be dd if=/dev/sda | split -b 1G mcphail?
[12:13] <IrishDave> hey,does anyone know how to improve the resolution of the other shells available (i.e. pressing ctrl alt F*), i had ones that were a lot better looking when i ran sabayon
[12:13] <GrueTamer> cp: do you mean that the letters are big, or the screen size is small?
[12:14] <cp> screen SMALL
[12:14] <GrueTamer> hmmm...
[12:14] <cp> goes to half the size of now
[12:14] <Dandre> and then cat x* | dd of=/dev/sda
[12:14] <cp> looking into the  /boot/grub/menu.lst
[12:14] <cp> 1 sec
[12:14] <Shuttle`> My only problem was to get the install done without a cd-rom or usb-stick. PXE-boot etc. Nice indeed. Thank you! Even the printer is working (didn't work in debian). No hassle whatsoever with the twinview setup
[12:14] <void^> IrishDave: look into framebuffer consoles.
[12:14] <mcquaid> could i make a dummy soundcard.  For example, could I make a /dev/dsp1 even though it doesn't exist?
[12:14] <Shuttle`> keep up the good work. Now I'll move on to ircnet
[12:14] <mcphail> Dandre: yes - that sort of thing will do the trick. You might need to play with the syntax a bit so do a dummy run first
[12:15] <Dquestions> anyone here got screenlets going?
[12:15] <Baktaah> Dquestions ask ur question
[12:15] <Dquestions> how the hell do you start it
[12:15] <Dquestions> i installed it
[12:15] <cp> $a12-b847-5bdaa5dd93e0 ro quiet splash
[12:15] <cp>      ?
[12:15] <cp> that ?
[12:15] <mcphail> Dandre: looking back, your dd invocation was ok (I read it wrong), but would cause a headache on FAT32
[12:15] <Baktaah> Dquestions  screenlets-tray
[12:16] <mcphail> Dandre: any chance of mounting your new laptop drive in a USB caddy and doing the thing directly?
[12:16] <IrishDave> thanks void^
[12:16] <rausb0> tuskernini: it works!
[12:16] <Baktaah> Is there a way to "save" ur session when you reboot, like in Xubuntu?
[12:16] <cp> GrueTamer,  should i comment out that?
[12:16] <Dandre> ok so the use of split is mandatory mcphail
[12:16] <Dquestions> Baktaah, thanks.. but do you know how to use it.. there is no do documentation
[12:16] <Dquestions> only how to install it
[12:16] <Dquestions> is there a menu.. where hsould it pop up?
[12:16] <Dquestions> i'm using beryl btw
[12:16] <Baktaah> Dquestions screenlets need no docu, its all GUI baby
[12:16] <Dandre> mcphail: I don't havesuch a caddie
[12:16] <GrueTamer> cp: that, in exactitude, is part of the boot process?
[12:16] <tuskernini> rausb0: how do you know?
[12:17] <rausb0> tuskernini: i connected once again
[12:17] <GrueTamer> because that looks rather weird
[12:17] <tuskernini> rausb0: ahh i see
[12:17] <Dquestions> Baktaah, how do I use it heh.. i see this little monitor now
[12:17] <tuskernini> cool
[12:17] <rausb0> tuskernini: nc 84-75-63-3.dclient.hispeed.ch 22
[12:17] <cp> kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-15-generic root=UUID=d8b914d6-f15a-4a12-b8$
[12:17] <cp> 
[12:17] <cp> is the first part
[12:17] <GrueTamer> ill look at mine quick
[12:17] <tuskernini> rausb0: thanks..
[12:17] <rausb0> tuskernini: you cannot test that from inside your private net
[12:17] <cp> quite is on the end
[12:17] <mcphail> Dandre: ok, then piping dd through split is the best idea!
[12:17] <Dquestions> Baktaah, whats the shorcut to bring screenlets up
[12:17] <tuskernini> rausb0: ah.. ok.. but can i ssh to another pc and ssh back to mine?
[12:18] <GrueTamer> cp: i guess that is pretty normal
[12:18] <Baktaah> Dquestions dunno make ur own :)
[12:18] <Baktaah> Dquestions what DE ur running?
[12:18] <GrueTamer> im not used to seeing a boot process like that, as mine on gentoo were always very simple
[12:18] <cp> u see quiet spash  also?
[12:18] <rausb0> tuskernini: if another pc is one outside on the internet, yes
[12:18] <Dquestions> Ubuntu Feisty with Gnome
[12:18] <Baktaah> I got geany open (a text editer with a compiler) and lots of files open in it, however I need a quickreboot to windows, so is there a way to "save it as it is" and reboot for a quicky
[12:18] <Dquestions> DE?
[12:18] <Baktaah> Is there a way to "save" ur session when you reboot, like in Xubuntu?
[12:18] <tuskernini> cool it i s.. i am gonna try now
[12:18] <Baktaah> Dquestions desktop envior... are u running gnome, kde or xfce?
[12:18] <cp> brb i will try
[12:18] <Dquestions> gnome
[12:19] <Dquestions> i want to migrate to kde eventually but gnome for now
[12:19] <benanz2> remove "quiet splash" that should give console output on bootup.  You can add "quiet splash" back in later.
[12:19] <CCmonster> hola peoples.
[12:19] <Baktaah> Dquestions  then look in ur applications->accessorioes
[12:19] <Baktaah> hola CCmonster
[12:19] <ghostdog> anyone having issues with kopete and msn?
[12:19] <ghostdog> cannot sign on
[12:19] <benanz2> is that on a separate line?  if so just put a # in front of it.  so you don't forget where is was
[12:19] <Dandre> ok thanks mcphail, I must go
[12:19] <benanz2> it
[12:19] <Baktaah> ghostdog no
[12:19] <Dandre> bye
[12:20] <CCmonster> i was pondering swapping over to ubuntu from *gaps* XP Pro, and i was just curious about the Bluetooh support
[12:20] <Mighty> hey guys
[12:20] <ghostdog> i guess rm kopete "rc"
[12:20] <CCmonster> i gots a bluetooh desktop..so it would be important
[12:20] <benanz2> what kind of bluetooth stuff ?   Ubuntu has great bluetooth support.  I use all the time on my macbook
[12:20] <Mighty> i have a problem running the Live Cd on my dell inspiron laptop with an ati vga
[12:21] <CCmonster> I have a MS Bluetooth Kb and Mousey
[12:21] <Baktaah> I got geany open (a text editer with a compiler) and lots of files open in it, however I need a quickreboot to windows, so is there a way to "save it as it is" and reboot for a quicky
[12:21] <Dquestions> Baktaah,  the thing is already running... i just dont know how to use it cuz theres no damn documentations
[12:21] <Dquestions> =(
[12:21] <Baktaah> Is there a way to "save" ur session when you reboot, like in Xubuntu?
[12:21] <Baktaah> Dquestions look at the tray
[12:21] <Baktaah> notification area Dquestions
[12:21] <dyrne> Mighty: yes i can see how that would be a problem :)
[12:21] <OHlo> Hello
[12:21] <Dquestions> yeah i see it

[12:21] <Baktaah> Dquestions doubleclick on something u want
[12:22] <rausb0> tuskernini: so does it work now?
[12:22] <Baktaah> Dquestions the rest is self explanatory
[12:22] <dyrne> Mighty: try a alt-ctrl-f2 then sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and choose vesa as your driver. then just default on everything else
[12:22] <OHlo> I was trying to isntall the ssh server?  And, I was following a tutorial at here: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu_6.06_p3?s=ff65b877252952a1caaa060100494742& It says, after editting, that my hostname should show as server1.ex... but my hostname is server and hostname -f is unknown.
[12:22] <Dquestions> Baktaah,  sweet dude.. but can i make them "Go away"
[12:22] <dyrne> Mighty: i should tell you ive never touched an ati card
[12:22] <fiveiron> anyone else not getting sound from flash at all?
[12:22] <fiveiron> in feisty
[12:22] <Baktaah> Dquestions rightclick delete
[12:23] <Dquestions> Baktaah, my fault.. i meant "hide"
[12:23] <dyrne> fiveiron: does pkill firefox and reopening work?
[12:23] <Baktaah> Dquestions define HIDE
[12:23] <Mighty> i've tried to see the xorg.config and played around and it gave me a msg no screens found :S
[12:23] <tuskernini> rausb0: whoo hoo.. it works! great stuff, dont know what was wrong, but forwarding the port again on the router did the trick... thanks again
[12:23] <Dquestions> Baktaah, like OSX does.. hehehe
[12:23] <rausb0> tuskernini: cool
[12:23] <Dquestions> Baktaah, hide all of them at once when i'm not using them
[12:23] <Baktaah> Dquestions press show desktop
[12:24] <Dquestions> Baktaah,  any other way? btw now how do you brig them back
[12:24] <Gr3nad3> can someone answer a quik qeustion4 me?
[12:24] <Dquestions> Baktaah,  is there any other way to hide them?
[12:24] <Baktaah> Dquestions well you could STICK them onto ur desktop?
[12:24] <Dquestions> Baktaah,  i know how to bring them back but .. hmm pressing that "hides" all my other windows
[12:24] <Answer> !ask | Gr3nad3
[12:24] <ubotu> Gr3nad3: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:24] <Baktaah> Dquestions there is function for that on screenets
[12:25] <Baktaah> Dquestions try gdesklets
[12:25] <Jay2> which file stores the runlevels that are used at bootup?
[12:25] <Bluetooth> hi all
[12:25] <Baktaah> Anyone around :) to help me out abot saving sessions?
[12:25] <rausb0> Baktaah: in gnome?
[12:25] <Bluetooth> I was trying to install some package but got an error saying

[12:26] <Baktaah> rausb0 yes
[12:26] <eternaljoy> !swiftfox
[12:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about swiftfox - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:26] <rausb0> Baktaah: something under preferences -> session
[12:26] <CCmonster> im sorry, i missed anything u mighta said
[12:27] <eternaljoy> anyone know what Swiftfox is?
[12:27] <GrueTamer> swiftfox is just firefox configured and with no source available
[12:27] <eternaljoy> how do I install GoogleEarth on feisty please?
[12:27] <rausb0> Baktaah: i don't run gnome here, so i can't tell exactly
[12:27] <Baktaah> rausb0  I dont think thats the same thing
[12:27] <eternaljoy> GrueTamer: its same as Firefox?  diff in what way?
[12:27] <Baktaah> rausb0  I want a button my close dialog that asks if I want to save sessions when I reboot
[12:27] <GrueTamer> optimized to be faster, but not in ways that you cant do yourself
[12:27] <eternaljoy> !googleearth
[12:27] <ubotu> Google Earth is now available, for free (only as in price), for Linux, too. To download it see http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html - A package for Ubuntu is available in the !Medibuntu repository
[12:28] <Mighty> dyrne: thanks
[12:28] <rausb0> Baktaah: no, gnome handles that different
[12:28] <eternaljoy> !Medibuntu
[12:28] <ubotu> medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/
[12:28] <dyrne> Mighty: worked?
[12:28] <HOT> anyone seen this error with the ati drivers? Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display "localhost:1.0".
[12:28] <Gr3nad3> does anyone know when i tryed  to get the ubuntu disk to run it will show the kernel loading and stuff then whenever its done and trys to boot it just sits there and the monitor recieves no signal
[12:28] <fiveiron> dyrne: i haven't had sound in firefox since I upgraded.... killed it many times, I've restarted a couple of times... still no sound
[12:28] <Baktaah> rausb0  how?
[12:28] <rausb0> Baktaah: there is a check box "save session automatically on logout" or something
[12:29] <cp> well
[12:29] <Mighty> i'll try it
[12:29] <rausb0> Baktaah: somewhere in the session settings
[12:29] <cp> i can press  alt cntrl  f2 and see the txt boot  but the  graphical boot still doesnt work
[12:29] <cp> any ideas?
[12:29] <skrubbles> hi all
[12:29] <GrueTamer> cp: why do you want the graphical boot to work, exactly?
[12:29] <cp> well im wondering why it isnt
[12:29] <cp> i dont care if it does
[12:30] <cp> i just would like to know the cause...   you know what i mean?
[12:30] <dyrne> fiveiron: i had an issue similar in firefox/linux once.. id mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla-bak and remove the flash drivers in /usr/lib and then drop ones in you download. someitmes you have a driver in ~/ and one in / for all users and it screws things up
[12:30] <bobbob1016> how can I move all of my /home folder to another directory, and save all my settings and everything, and format the partition (it's on a different partition than my root dir), from a livecd or something, then re-format it as ext3 or something whichever it is now, and put everything back without ubuntu knowing?
[12:30] <bobbob1016> I've google a bit and that is all I can do to get rid of hidden truecrypt files
[12:30] <GrueTamer> bobbob1016: so you want to make a home partition?
[12:31] <cp> GrueTamer,  if my system cant handle the graphical boot thats fine.  I want to disable it then and make it show me the txt boot ... Is there a way to do that?
[12:31] <GrueTamer> i think its quiet....
[12:31] <dyrne> bobbob1016: do this to preserve symlinks also http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/
[12:31] <bobbob1016> GrueTamer, well, move my current one somewhere, format it's partition, and put the data back
[12:31] <GrueTamer> but compare the regular ubuntu boot process and the recovery boot processes
[12:31] <ward_> is there anyone that got LIRC working?
[12:31] <GrueTamer> because recovery has a text boot
[12:31] <bobbob1016> GrueTamer, dyrne, I have it on a different partition already
[12:31] <skrubbles> I'm a newb when it comes to Linux and so obviously I'm a newb with Ubuntu... I'm just now installing in on another computer of mine.  After installation and booting my computer I get asked for my username (which is skrubbles) and my password... so I input the correct info and now all I sww is skrubbles@ubuntu:~$
[12:31] <cp> i mean its acting like its trying to start the graphical boot.. but it switchs and goes to a blank screen...
[12:32] <GrueTamer> bobbob1016: that guide might still apply to you
[12:32] <cp> u know what i mean
[12:32] <cp> ok yea GrueTamer   good idea
[12:32] <skrubbles> is there a command I need to use to boot into the desktop?
[12:32] <GrueTamer> startx
[12:32] <Answer> skrubbles: hit CTRL+ALT+F7
[12:32] <mike__908> Could someone tell me the diffrences between haskell and clean?
[12:32] <joel__> hi
[12:32] <GrueTamer> skrubbles: startx is the command
[12:32] <GrueTamer> hi joel__
[12:32] <ward_> skrubbles, normally u just get the loginscreen and u see your desktop, try startx
[12:32] <Answer> mike__908: haskell is a functional programming language
[12:32] <dyrne> skrubbles: at the prompt $ type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and choose vesa driver and defaults after that then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart to test it
[12:33] <joel__> i started vmware and it gave a me a error bout the sound and now i dont have any sound
[12:33] <ward_> skrubbles, do what dyrne said :p
[12:33] <D3b|4n> hi all peple i need help
[12:33] <D3b|4n> i need install kompozer
[12:33] <bobbob1016> GrueTamer, is it possible to do it through XP or something?  wuth the ext3-fs plugin?  I don't have a spare partition to move the data to
[12:33] <hellbound1> alright its final
[12:33] <dyrne> skrubbles: ward's approach intails finese. identify the problem and correct. mine is a sledge hammer :)
[12:33] <mike__908> that didn't answer my qustion
[12:33] <hellbound1> I've got server installed and not desktop I want to un-install server
[12:34] <mcphail> joel__: try typing "killall esd" before starting vmware
[12:34] <hellbound1> how do I un-install server? what command? or what do I do?
[12:34] <GrueTamer> hellbound1: you can install over it, i bet
[12:34] <skrubbles> ok... I'll try this stuff out... thanks guys :)
[12:34] <GrueTamer> like, a fresh install
[12:34] <hellbound1> tried that and no go
[12:34] <ward_> is there anyone that got LIRC working? i've never ever been frustrated more before
[12:34] <GrueTamer> hmm...
[12:34] <SolidasArocK> #unbutu.fr
[12:34] <GrueTamer> SolidasArocK: type /join #ubuntu-fr
[12:35] <skrubbles> btw, startx apparently wasn't installed so I installed it.  Then I tried it and it doesn't seem to want to work
[12:35] <andy__> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sun-java6/+bug/87665 <-- that's the bug I'm experiencing. How can I set a variable for my X session?
[12:35] <ward_> lol skrubbles
[12:35] <SolidasArocK> thx GrueTamer :)
[12:35] <GrueTamer> SolidasArocK: youre welcome
[12:35] <hellbound1> what do I do to remove ubuntu server? someone please tell me now
[12:35] <joel__> still no sound
[12:35] <ward_> skrubbles, i don't even know how u install ubuntu without x if i wanted to
[12:36] <hellbound1> so this way I can get it goin' before I get frustrated and pass out from aggrovation
[12:36] <SolidasArocK> GrueTamer or in french "merci beaucoup" ;)
[12:36] <skrubbles> ward, yeah I'm amusing LOL... luckily this is just an experiment computer I just want to see what Ubuntu is like
[12:36] <OHlo> Is there a way I can get defaults of certain files?
[12:36] <ward_> skrubbles, i'm a beginner myself, and ubuntu = nice :-)
[12:36] <ward_> skrubbles, how did u install?
[12:37] <hellbound1> someone please tell me how to remove ubuntu server
[12:37] <GrueTamer> hellbound1: why doesnt a fresh install over it work, exactly, because thats what i would do
[12:37] <ixxixxi> is there a command i can type to see what Linux I am running?
[12:37] <ixxixxi> .
[12:37] <GrueTamer> or just use a livecd to go into gparted and deleting every partition there is
[12:37] <Answer> ixxixxi: uname -a
[12:37] <joel__> i started vmware and it gave a me a error bout the sound and now i dont get any sound, vmware worked good last time
[12:37] <hellbound1> it just starts up when I put the desktop disc in
[12:37] <wim> hi - anyone have any luck getting a HighPoint RocketRaid 454 card to work?
[12:37] <crabgrass> how is it that i deleted 10gb worth of files and emptied the trash, yet i still have the same amount of space left?
[12:37] <ixxixxi> thanks
[12:37] <GrueTamer> hellbound1: check your boot order
[12:38] <GrueTamer> i assume thats what your problem is...
[12:38] <joel__> i started vmware and it gave a me a error bout the sound and now i dont get any sound, vmware worked good last time
[12:38] <skrubbles> well I did a different install... My experiment computer only has a cd drive (no floppy or dvd), and I only had an old cdrw lying around that only has space for 650mb.  So I couldn't fit the normal ubuntu iso on it.. I had to download the 10mb version that downloads the files as you install the OS
[12:38] <Bonkers> I have a .deb with some uninstalled dependencies, how can I automatically install all the deps (at least those that are available via apt-get) in one go?
[12:39] <skrubbles> so... I'm working with that... need to try some of the above suggestions though and see if they work
[12:39] <bobbob1016> does anyone have experience with truecrypt and/or forcefield?
[12:39] <mon^rch> how can I tell if someone has hacked, of "rooted" me?
[12:39] <hellbound1> how do I remove the partitions with the desktop CD?
[12:39] <mon^rch> or*
[12:39] <bobbob1016> I made a few volumes, but I can't delete them because they're hidden
[12:39] <ward_> skrubbles, please put the name(s) of the person(s) you're talking to in the message, then we can see it better
[12:39] <GrueTamer> hellbound1: launch gparted
[12:39] <GrueTamer> in the terminal, gksudo gparted
[12:39] <hellbound1> how do I do that?
[12:39] <Answer> mon^rch: you're probably not that special.  why would someone hack you
[12:40] <crabgrass> help: i need to free up some space, but deleting files does nothing. any ideas?
[12:40] <wim> how do I get a HighPoint RocketRaid 454 card to work on Ubuntu?
[12:40] <skrubbles> ward - sorry will do that from now on
[12:40] <mon^rch> Answer: I got my reasons... so how do I tell?
[12:40] <ward_> skrubbles, never did that before, my advise would be to get a 700MB CD tomorrow :p
[12:40] <Answer> mon^rch: run "top" and see if there are malicious progs taking up your mem or cpu
[12:40] <Answer> mon^rch: run tcpdump or netstat and see if there is unwanted traffic
[12:41] <Och4> !iso
[12:41] <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.
[12:41] <ward_> skrubbles, no problem, when u use xchat and many other software, it highlightes the lines with your name in it :-)
[12:41] <skrubbles> ward, I'll end up doing that most likely.  I just have a little bit of freetime today and wanted to see if I could get it done with what I have
[12:41] <hellbound1> alright its booting with the desktop it seems a bit of help here?
[12:41] <Jowi> Bonkers, if the dependencies are available to apt they should be automatically installed. if not, when you try to install the app it should tell you what's needed and you should be able to simply apt-get install them manually.
[12:41] <cp> well thats fixed
[12:41] <mon^rch> Answer: is ther a log somewhere tat'll tell me who's logged on?
[12:41] <rubberducky> !ipod
[12:41] <ubotu> For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto See !rockbox for information on liberating your iPod
[12:41] <Answer> mon^rch: type "who"
[12:42] <Och4> whats the best iso/image burner out there to date????
[12:42] <dyrne> mon^rch: a simple 'w' in terminal might be what you want
[12:42] <crabgrass> help: i need to free up some space, but deleting files does nothing. any ideas?
[12:42] <ward_> is there anyone that got LIRC working? i've never ever been frustrated more before, in windows it worked in 1 minute...
[12:42] <Answer> crabgrass: which files do you want to delete and how are you trying to delete them
[12:42] <dyrne> Och4: for features k3b
[12:42] <cp> !activesync
[12:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about activesync - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:42] <Jowi> Bonkers, might be that there is a difference in version between what is in the repository and what the app needs.
[12:42] <mon^rch> Answer: ty :)
[12:42] <Bonkers> Jowi: using what command to install the .deb? dpkg -i doesn't seem to have that behavior
[12:42] <Och4> dyrne, sorry i ment for gnome though.  thats for kde
[12:42] <rubberducky> Can someone help me get my ipod to work?
[12:42] <Pelo> crabgrass, did yo empty your trashcan ?
[12:42] <Answer> !ipod | rubberducky
[12:42] <rubberducky> I've been reading a lot of guides online
[12:42] <ubotu> rubberducky: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto See !rockbox for information on liberating your iPod
[12:42] <crabgrass> Answer: miscelanous media files, hitting [del]  and going to the trashcan and emptying it
[12:43] <rubberducky> and have checked almost aeverything I could
[12:43] <vanberge> anyone successfully use cinelerra on fiesty?
[12:43] <Pelo> rubberducky, try gtkpod as an alternative to itune
[12:43] <rubberducky> Answer: did that already
[12:43] <hellbound1> alright seriously. easy no fail way to remove ubuntu server
[12:43] <Answer> crabgrass: goto command line and try "rm -f filename"
[12:43] <dyrne> Och4: yes but gnomebaker doesnt really compare. and its only a few mb of libs to install it
[12:43] <vanberge> i installed cinelerra but it doesnt run
[12:43] <rubberducky> Yeah...I'm using gtkpod
[12:43] <rubberducky> Gtkpod doesn't see the ipod files
[12:43] <Sergo> good night
[12:43] <rubberducky> I mount it but it doesnt find the mp3's
[12:43] <dyrne> rubberducky: is ipod mounted when you click 'load' ?
[12:43] <crabgrass> Answer: well, they're not there anymore, because i emptied the trash.
[12:43] <Sergo> how can i play movies? In Movie player there is only black screen
[12:44] <Sergo> and no pictures of movie
[12:44] <crabgrass> Answer: it's safe to delete my .trashes , right?
[12:44] <dyrne> !restricted > Sergo
[12:44] <crabgrass> Sergo: do you get audio?
[12:44] <rubberducky> dyrne: I think it is
[12:44] <Sergo> crabgrass: no
[12:44] <Jump86> anyone here know how to setup an ftp server? i have puradmin going w/ a home folder and a user but i dont know how to connect.. how do i get the hostname or IP for my ftp server so i can test this?
[12:44] <Answer> crabgrass: sorry I don't know about the trash... if you rm the file it will be deleted.
[12:44] <Sergo> i have no audio
[12:44] <Och4> dyrne, k3d isn't for gnome right??  gnomebaker, didn't seem that good to me.
[12:44] <crabgrass> Answer: alright, ty anyway.
[12:44] <rubberducky> dyrne: "Could not find iPod directory structure at '/mnt/ipod/iPod_Control/iTunes'."
[12:44] <Answer> Jump86: proftp is pretty easy
[12:44] <Och4> whats the best iso/image burner out there to date on gnome?
[12:44] <dyrne> rubberducky: open a terminal and type 'mount'
[12:44] <hellbound1> how do I remove all ubutu operating systems from my computer?
[12:44] <Jowi> Bonkers, then it might be a difference in versions. dpkg has got an option to ignore dependencies, but not sure if that is advisable to use.
[12:44] <crabgrass> Sergo: check out what ubotu told you.
[12:45] <Jump86> Answer, is it a GUI thing?
[12:45] <Answer> hellbound1: format your harddrive.
[12:45] <Pelo> Och4,  gnomebaker works well
[12:45] <GrueTamer> Och4: cdrecord :)
[12:45] <dyrne> Och4: you can run k3b in gnome no problem
[12:45] <hellbound1> how do I format it?
[12:45] <Answer> Jump86: nope.  go to Synaptic and search for FTP
[12:45] <Bonkers> Jowi, but I thought dpkg has no knowledge of apt? I would think I'd need to use some other command to get apt to install things
[12:45] <LinuxHelp> What's the best way to permanently change the nice level of apache?
[12:45] <Pelo> hellbound1,  just repartition
[12:45] <hellbound1> how do I format my hard drive useing ubuntu server?
[12:45] <hellbound1> how do I do that in server?
[12:45] <Jowi> Bonkers, apt-get, dpkg, aptitude and synaptic all use the backend called apt.
[12:45] <Och4> dyrne, really?
[12:45] <Pelo> hellbound1, parted
[12:46] <hellbound1> just parted?
[12:46] <Jump86> Answer, I have a GUI ftp server going which helped me turn the server on, add users set permissions password etc.. how do get the hostname to connect to? is it just my IP?
[12:46] <sp1d3r> mcphail Hey, I followed your suggestion about to relay my requests of sendmail and I found a daemon called DRAC... Do you know it?
[12:46] <Answer> !parted | hellbound1
[12:46] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about parted - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:46] <rubberducky> dyrne:  what am I looking for now?
[12:46] <crabgrass> Answer: think logging out then in will get rid of that ghost trash?
[12:46] <Answer> !gparted | hellbound1
[12:46] <ubotu> hellbound1: 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
[12:46] <dyrne> rubberducky: do this. uplug ipod; plug back in; type 'dmesg | tail' if it says sda or sdb type 'sudo mkdir /media/ipod; sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda2 /media/ipod/'
[12:46] <Och4> dyrne, does it work for dvds too?
[12:46] <Answer> crabgrass: I don't think you deleted the files
[12:46] <Baktaah> Is there a way to "save" ur session when you reboot, like in Xubuntu?
[12:46] <Baktaah> I got geany open (a text editer with a compiler) and lots of files open in it, however I need a quickreboot to windows, so is there a way to "save it as it is" and reboot for a quicky
[12:46] <Jowi> Bonkers, what are you trying to install and where did you get the package from?
[12:46] <mcphail> sp1d3r: no
[12:46] <Pelo> hellbound1, I beleive that is the name of the cli partition app,   try man parted for more info on it
[12:46] <vanberge> what is the base compiler tools package... base-utils ?
[12:46] <dyrne> rubberducky: where sda2 is sdb2 or whatever shows up in dmesg
[12:46] <crabgrass> Answer: well, i don't know what else could have happened
[12:46] <dyrne> Och4: yeah
[12:46] <sp1d3r> mcphail DRAC is a D
[12:46] <Pelo> vanberge, build-essential
[12:46] <Brackhar> Wow, busy in here.  First time for me to be in this channel.  @.@
[12:47] <Answer> crabgrass: sounds like you just deleted pointers (shortcuts) which are only 1k files so it wouldn't save much space
[12:47] <dyrne> Och4: scarry as hell when it completes buring and sounds that trumpet though :)
[12:47] <Och4> dyrne, radical!
[12:47] <sp1d3r> Dynamic Relay Authorization Control
[12:47] <crabgrass> Answer: it's obvious i didn't, but im not sure how to delete them now, considering that the trash got emptied and they're no longer there
[12:47] <mcphail> sp1d3r: looking at the webpage, i don't think it does what you need
[12:47] <Bonkers> Jowi, I think I just inadvertently did what I wanted, I did dpkg -i which failed, but then I ran 'apt-get -f install' and it installed the deps and then the failing package
[12:47] <Och4> dyrne, hhaha
[12:47] <stefg> !build | vanberge
[12:47] <ubotu> vanberge: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[12:47] <crabgrass> Answer: you sure? these were files in ~/, that i put there.
[12:47] <cp> !active sync
[12:47] <crabgrass> Answer: i dont recall setting up any pointers
[12:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about active sync - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:47] <Och4> dyrne, is there instructions on how to install it?
[12:47] <sp1d3r> mcphail no?...
[12:47] <hellbound1> hopefully the liveCD will co-operate
[12:47] <rubberducky> dyrne: what am I looking for in dmseg?
[12:47] <crabgrass> !ubotu > ubotu
[12:48] <Answer> crabgrass: sounds strange.  I don't know
[12:48] <OHlo> Is there a way I can get defaults of certain files?
[12:48] <ward_> is there anyone that got LIRC working? i really don't understand what goes wrong
[12:48] <crabgrass> Answer: yeah...
[12:48] <rubberducky> Too much talking in here...hard to keep up.
[12:48] <spiraldark> Hey, I have a problem... Last time I booted Ubuntu (7.04) it said some weird things about file systems or something and wouldn't boot... it told me to do a fchk or something like that... so I did... and after that it ran (with errors at boot still)... I haven't turned it off since... but now whenever I  turn on desktop effects it suddenly turns to only one desktop and the windows don't work...
[12:48] <crabgrass> Answer: i'll try logging out
[12:48] <spiraldark> ...right (the windows still wobble and if I add more desktops again it will cube with them) but it's just not loading window contents and it used to work..... any ideas?
[12:48] <Jowi> Bonkers, I hope it works fine for you. if not, try to get a version of the package that match your system (maybe you grabbed a debian version or something)
[12:48] <sasimon19> #php
[12:48] <codecaine> anybody had problems with festy not install compiz?
[12:48] <Och4> dyrne, i think i found some.  thanks man. ^_,^
[12:48] <dyrne> rubberducky: looking for a sda or sdb or c or d. if you havent mounted yet do this command instead sudo mkdir /media/ipod; sudo mount -t vfat -o umask=000 /dev/sda2 /media/ipod
[12:48] <rubberducky> okay
[12:49] <rubberducky> Now what?
[12:49] <mcphail> sp1d3r: gmail will report your mail as spam because your IP address is in the DUL.
[12:49] <rubberducky> It should work? Try gtkpod?
[12:49] <dyrne> rubberducky: did you type the mount command
[12:49] <Pelo> spiraldark,   check in synaptic for a compiz manager,  from there you will be able to set the desktop effects to have more then the default one desktop
[12:49] <rubberducky> Yes
[12:49] <rubberducky> It still doesn't work
[12:49] <rubberducky> I tried to get it to work all last night and this morning
[12:49] <rubberducky> :/
[12:50] <dyrne> do sudo gtkpod from terminal and try. see if its permissions issue
[12:50] <Bonkers> Jowi: it seems to be working now, thanks
[12:50] <mcphail> sp1d3r: http://www.mail-abuse.com/an_rteoutgoing.html

[12:52] <MonaLeilani> I've got KDevelop open and I have a .cpp file I need to run. But it won't let me just run it. Why?
[12:52] <Brackhar> Is it possible to create a RAID install using the desktop iso, or do I need to get the alternate install ISO?
[12:52] <sp1d3r> mcphail ok so, I just accepted my domain in gmail as no-spam mailer and now work fine... but for all other domains for ex like hotmail, my sendmail notify me that my mail was rejected :(
[12:52] <MonaLeilani> And why does it need to make a billion files just to run it?

[12:55] <ulti2001> hey guys
[12:55] <GrueTamer> Sergo: yeah you can, but its a little bit different
[12:55] <GrueTamer> hi ulti2001
[12:55] <nick_> so it would be like "sudo tar ....?

[12:56] <nick_> GrueTamer, what exactly would i put into terminal?
[12:56] <Sergo> ubuntu work nice
[12:56] <GrueTamer> nick_: just put sudo in front of the command you were typing before
[12:56] <nick_> I am confused :(
[12:57] <nickrud> nexous, lshw
[12:57] <Sergo> nick_ you need to be under root privelegies

[12:57] <nexous> nickrud: thank you.
[12:57] <nick_> ok
[12:57] <dyrne> rubberducky: im back if you still need help
[12:57] <nickrud> southafrikanse, the panel at the top and bottom of the screen
[12:58] <nickrud> nexous, np
[12:58] <chump> nick_: gksu file-roller
[12:58] <rubberducky> dyrne: it works now...but I was wondering how do i make it so I dont have to use sudo all the time to get it to work?
[12:58] <Och4> i can't install a package with this command line "# su -c "make install" maybe it's different for gnome?  it's kde program, whats the command line for gnome?
[12:58] <rubberducky> dyrne: I don't want to have to be a root user every time i do that with the ipod
[12:58] <southafrikanse> nickrud: When I start Ubuntu, a small window, named gnome-panel wont get off in the middle of the screen
[12:58] <rubberducky> Because my mom uses this computer and she won't know how to work it
[12:58] <Och4> dyrne, ya still there?
[12:59] <chump> nick_: this will open your archive manager in gnome
[12:59] <AaronMT> Hi does anyone recieve 'BUG CPU#0 Soft Lock detected' - a hardlock - upon returning from standby? Do you also have a wireless adapter using ndiswrapper?
[12:59] <Brackhar> I have a very simple question regarding which CD to download.  If I want to set up a FTP server with RAID 1 partitions and Gnome desktop environment, should I download the server CD, the Desktop CD, or the alternate desktop CD?
[12:59] <chump> nick_: with root privilege
[12:59] <hellbound1> alright
[12:59] <Sergo> GrueTamer is needed to restart the pc after the ubuntu-restricted-extras has installed?
[12:59] <Sergo> =] 
[12:59] <andy__> how can I set an environment variable so that it is set system wide, also when I'm using X
[12:59] <hellbound1> tried useing liveCD but its giving me problems
[12:59] <nick_> chump, then I can't see any archive files
[12:59] <aqua_lotus> i'm sorry but someone knows why i can`t make ascii characters whith xchat in ubuntu? :|
[12:59] <compilerwriter> nalioth crimsun either one of you two about?
[12:59] <dyrne> rubberducky: id copy the mount command and sudo chown $USER:USER /media/ipod other than that check ubuntuforums for mounting fat32 with read write
[12:59] <nickrud> southafrikanse, is it an extra panel? I mean, right click and remove if so. Otherwise, what's the exact error message?
[12:59] <dyrne> Och4: yeah
[12:59] <GrueTamer> Sergo: i dont think so, but you might have to
[12:59] <skrubbles> YES!  I found a black cdr... time to install ubuntu correctly :)
[12:59] <GrueTamer> i dont know whats in that file
[12:59] <chump> nick_ : menu archive then open ..
[01:00] <skrubbles> er *blank
[01:00] <preaction> Brackhar: if you want a GUI by default, you can probably get away with the live CD. if you want more customization over your install, use the alternate CD
[01:00] <Cryoniq> Question: I am confused regarding sound system on ubuntu (running Feisty). I have the mixer.. which using ALSA, but I am able to switch to OSS in it and change stuff, but not too successfully it seems. Should I have OSS at all there? I am wondering since I am trying to get teamspeak to work (but with no success of course ;P )
[01:00] <Och4> dyrne, question.  "i can't install a package with this command line "# su -c "make install" maybe it's different for gnome?  it's kde program, whats the command line for gnome?"
[01:00] <southafrikanse> nickrud: There is no error, only a small blank windows that appears in the middle of the screen
[01:00] <Brackhar> Preaction:  Can I do Raid 1 on the desktop CD though?  I remember not being able to in 6.06
[01:00] <southafrikanse> nickrud: There is no error, only a small blank window that appears in the middle of the screen
[01:00] <nick_> ahh
[01:00] <rubberducky> dyrne:  sorry chatzilla froze
[01:00] <nick_> thanks
[01:00] <rubberducky> Did you respond?
[01:00] <preaction> Brackhar: if it's a hardware RAID, either CD will work fine. if it's a software RAID, i'd go with the server install
[01:00] <chump> nick_: you're welcome
[01:00] <nickrud> southafrikanse, how do you know it's about gnome-panel? (just asking)
[01:01] <dyrne> Och4: yeah without root that wont work. im not sure of sudo syntax as i tend to enable root
[01:01] <dylnuge> hi
[01:01] <preaction> Brackhar: at least i didn't see the option to set up a RAID on the live CD installer
[01:01] <GrueTamer> hi dylnuge
[01:01] <Brackhar> preaction:  Thanks, it's software.  That's what I wanted to know.  Final question:  Should I put the boot and swap on the raid partition?
[01:01] <rubberducky> dyrne:  how do I enable root?
[01:01] <dyrne> Och4: well i guess syntax would just be sudo - command :)
[01:01] <roig> hello, can you help me with GRUB?
[01:01] <GrueTamer> rubberducky: sudo su
[01:01] <dylnuge> I just got Ubuntu Fiesty running :)
[01:01] <rubberducky> Sudo su does what?
[01:01] <aaroncampbell> I'm on Kubuntu Feisty (7.04), and java can't seem to see my print service.  Has anyone else had this problem?  I get "No Print Service Found." when I try to print.  I tried in jedit and Zend Studio.  I also tried using Sun Java 5 from the repos, and the java that comes with Zend Studio.  Any Ideas?
[01:01] <GrueTamer> awesome dylnuge
[01:01] <rubberducky> Makes me a root user?
[01:01] <dyrne> rubberducky: that wasnt for you sorry
[01:01] <nickrud> southafrikanse, if you could but up a screen shot of it somewhere ...
[01:01] <dylnuge> thanks
[01:01] <rubberducky> oh
[01:02] <rubberducky> lol
[01:02] <GrueTamer> im 52% done installing xubuntu on the ancient machine next to me :)
[01:02] <rr_lap> when i suspend my laptop my wifi card doesnt like it when it resumes. is there a way to run sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart or another way?
[01:02] <chump> roig ask your question ;)
[01:02] <preaction> Brackhar: swap, sure. you'll get more performance if it's spread over the disks. boot partition probably not (since it's a software RAID, your BIOS might not like it). but do not quote me, i know nothing about that
[01:02] <Och4> dyrne, then whats the command line, cuz i don't think i know it "sudo make install" (becauses that doesn't worl
[01:02] <southafrikanse> Well you be here? nickrud?
[01:02] <roig> ok ihere i go then
[01:02] <Brackhar> Praction:  Thanks.  Now I've just got to figure out if I go with 6.06 or 7.04
[01:02] <nickrud> southafrikanse, for a while, maybe a half hour. I'm resetting xchat options for a bit :)
[01:02] <dyrne> rubberducky: word of advise on gtkpod i had a bad time with playlists i made until i realized they had to be drug to the top just under dyrne's ipod  for some reason to show up in the ipod
[01:03] <mmeiser> hello world
[01:03] <AaronMT> Hi does anyone recieve 'BUG CPU#0 Soft Lock detected' - a hardlock - upon returning from standby? Do you also have a wireless adapter using ndiswrapper?
[01:03] <GrueTamer> hello mmeiser
[01:03] <snoops> hey, say I install a piece of software which doesn't come from apt..is there a way of telling apt about it? So I can uninstall it from apt, or perhaps update it, if a newer version comes available from apt?
[01:03] <southafrikanse> nickrud: I'm going to restart Ubuntu
[01:03] <chump> hi mmeiser
[01:03] <rubberducky> dyrne: okay...How do I stop gtkpod from giving me error messages every time i mount my ipod?
[01:03] <southafrikanse> nickrud: Be right back
[01:03] <dyrne> Och4: that be what i would do. what are you installing?
[01:03] <preaction> snoops: if you install from a .deb package, yes. if you didn't, you'd need to make a .deb package. there're instructions in the wiki i believe
[01:04] <Och4> dyrne, the k3d. thats it
[01:04] <dyrne> rubberducky: not sure. it expects you to load/unload before un/mounting
[01:04] <snoops> ah right..yeah I'm talking about things like opera, or google earth preaction..both using binary files and such
[01:04] <dyrne> Och4: that is in repos. just do sudo apt-get install k3b
[01:04] <rubberducky> dyrne: I get an error log after mounting each time
[01:04] <dyrne> Och4: installs automatically
[01:04] <rubberducky> dyrne: Could not open "iTunesDB.ext" for reading extended info.
[01:05] <preaction> snoops: you make the .deb package after binaries are all compiled, so it'd be possible. but i think there might be .deb packages already available around the internet
[01:05] <phy2> hellbound there?
[01:06] <preaction> snoops: http://deb.opera.com <- opera deb package
[01:06] <dyrne> rubberducky: there is a backup under /media/ipod/something/something called iTunesDB.ext-bak i believe i had to sudo cp iTunesDB.ext-bak to iTunesDB.ext in that directory
[01:06] <roig> I have one SATA and two old Hard drives, i have installed Windows in one SATA partition, and then i install ubuntu in one of old hard drives. During install i put the GRUB on the same hard drive where i installing Ubuntu, when it finishes, reboot changed in BIOS the first boot drive , and grub says: a"waiting message"  i waited 20 minutes.. xD what im doing wrong? sorry about my english hope you understand.
[01:06] <dyrne> rubberducky: then they went away
[01:06] <snoops> okay, thanks preaction
[01:07] <rubberducky> wait...copy iTunes.ex-bak to what?
[01:07] <rubberducky> The error directory?
[01:07] <bootsmorris> I need to get some help with my media buttons on my laptop
[01:07] <preaction> snoops: an answer to "google earth .deb" https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/3133
[01:07] <mcphail> snoops: deb http://deb.opera.com/opera etch non-free
[01:07] <mmeiser> does anyone know how to mount hfsplus drives with proper permissions under ubuntu feisty? - have disabled journaling, but "volume properties" has UID=0 and GID=0, attempts to change in volume properties panel via "mount options" all fail citing, improper mount options, standard command line or fstab mounting does work, just trying to figure out why automount doesn't... thanks
[01:07] <rubberducky> dyrne:  it doesn't give an error directory...just says can't find that file
[01:07] <Vall-k> hi! (sorry for my english) i have a problem with GAMBAS. I have a file (list.txt for example) in the same directory of the gambas executable. The list.txt (and the dir) have all permisions, but if i write in gambas: file.save ("list.txt",textarea1.text) when i executing, the program show an error: "access forbidden"... Can you help me please?
[01:07] <Och4> dyrne, thanks man
[01:07] <southafrikanse> nickrud: Now it didn't show up
[01:07] <nickrud> southafrikanse, heh.
[01:08] <mcphail> snoops: (but, of course, that's a non-standard repo)
[01:08] <ShayGuy> Can anyone tell me why upgrading to Feisty killed my wireless connection?
[01:08] <dyrne> rubberducky: no. under /media/ipod/ there is i think its called iTunes directory where config files are there hopefully is a backup of that file you can copy to the normal filename
[01:08] <dyrne> Och4: np
[01:08] <nickrud> southafrikanse, if it does, grab a screenshot
[01:08] <mmeiser> GrueTamer: thank you and good day
[01:08] <southafrikanse> nickrud: OK.
[01:08] <snoops> mcphail they were just examples - there's other software I install which isn't part of apt, so was just wondering about manually adding uninstall info/entry info to apt
[01:08] <southafrikanse> nickrud: I can't believe I forgot to take a screenshot
[01:08] <bootsmorris> i installed fnfxd and it gave me an error and said enable something in the kernel
[01:08] <rubberducky> dyrne:  I don't get where you move it to...
[01:08] <rubberducky> You lost me
[01:08] <southafrikanse> nickrud: Thanks any way
[01:08] <nickrud> southafrikanse, I forget 3/4 of the stuff I should remember. I'm a d'oh kinda guy
[01:09] <dyrne> rubberducky: sudo nautilus&  might make it easier with gui. just copy filename.ext-bak to file.name.ext
[01:09] <Jowi> Vall-k, I never had that prob. try the gambas mailinglist (they are pretty quick to respond)
[01:09] <tarzeau> anyone join? deepirc.net:5322   please bub-n-bros.sf.net
[01:09] <dyrne> RemoteViewer: copy and rename
[01:09] <dyrne> rubberducky: ^^
[01:09] <southafrikanse> nickrud: lol
[01:09] <southafrikanse> nickrud: Bye
[01:09] <AaronMT> Hi does anyone recieve 'BUG CPU#0 Soft Lock detected' - a hardlock - upon returning from standby? Do you also have a wireless adapter using ndiswrapper?
[01:09] <koshari> anyone know how to turn the bluetooth on on an acer travelmate?
[01:10] <bootsmorris> i need some help with my media buttons on my laptop
[01:10] <rubberducky> Okay
[01:10] <bulle> AaronMT: what wireless chipset ?
[01:10] <dyrne> rubberducky: ive only had that happen once
[01:10] <rob65> !mouse
[01:10] <ubotu> Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto  - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto
[01:10] <rubberducky> dyrne: i used nautilus to search for iTunesDB.ext-bak...didnt find it
[01:10] <koshari> bootsmoris what laptop?
[01:10] <Raptor45> mplayer is improperly setting the aspect ratio on my videos, how can I fix that?
[01:10] <bootsmorris> toshiba
[01:10] <bootsmorris> satellite
[01:10] <dyrne> rubberducky: navigate to /media/ipod
[01:11] <dyrne> then iTunes
[01:11] <bulle> Raptor45: by reading the mplayer manpage, and finding the flag for manualy setting the aspect ratio, and then use it
[01:11] <roig> :(
[01:11] <Vall-k> jowi, thanks ;) i'm in the gambas channel, but is empty, i try with the mailinglist...
[01:11] <rubberducky> dyrne:  there is no itunes
[01:11] <rubberducky> iPod Control
[01:11] <dyrne> rubberducky: thats it
[01:11] <Raptor45> bulle, tried using -noaspect but its still incorrect, and -aspect 4:3 is still wrong
[01:11] <rubberducky> Then itunes
[01:11] <dyrne> rubberducky: i was sorta close ;)
[01:11] <rubberducky> :p
[01:12] <snoops> Raptor45 are you using a widescreen display? If so there's a mplayer file you need to edit to change the 'system' aspect - what mplayer goes off of
[01:12] <bulle> Raptor45: so try the correct aspect then ? instead of no or 4:3 ?
[01:12] <rubberducky> Now which file ?
[01:12] <Jowi> Vall-k, I had great luck with the mailinglist actually. they are nice, helpful and concrete.
[01:12] <Raptor45> snoops, I am where is that file?
[01:12] <rubberducky> :/
[01:12] <rubberducky> iTunesDB.ext-bak isnt there
[01:12] <dyrne> we really need to work on our frontends to these common tools..
[01:12] <snoops> Raptor45 so that's a yes on the widescreen display?
[01:12] <roig> Wheen i start GRUB shows me a: Waiting message.. and never passes it.. anyone know what i am doing wrong?
[01:12] <Raptor45> snoops, yep I am using a widescreen display
[01:12] <chump> bootsmorris: system >> preference >> keyboard shortcuts
[01:13] <vanberge> anybody know... in vi, can i use :g/(*/s//g  to remove from a a paren to the end of line?
[01:13] <ShayGuy> Why does Feisty hate my wireless?
[01:13] <bootsmorris> i tried that linux doesnt recognize my extra buttons
[01:13] <vickdini> hi
[01:13] <Jowi> Vall-k, be sure to mention which version of Gambas you're using (testing or otherwise) and if you use gtk or qt, etc etc. gtk was not very mature last time i tried...
[01:13] <vanberge> ShayGuy, fiesty hates cinelerra too.
[01:13] <vickdini> i installed apache
[01:13] <hellbound1> dunno shay but mine works no problem I'm useing wired though since my wireless isn't reliable.
[01:13] <bulle> vanberge: cinelerra hates everything, so i dont blame fiesty for that
[01:13] <koshari> bootmorris do a dmesg after pressing a button and see if there are messages
[01:13] <dyrne> rubberducky: well im not sure of the -bak but it is something similar to that filename with a -something or .something if its not there you might need to use itunes to recover from a mac or win machince. ipod is so encumbered its a pain sometimes but i just cant give mine up
[01:14] <vanberge> bulle,  lol
[01:14] <AlivesWrk-> im having problems installing pidgin with dpkg in dapper... http://pastebin.ca/476236
[01:14] <bootsmorris> yea alot of them
[01:14] <nickrud> bootsmorris, try prefs->keyboard, there's a toshiba keyboard there that might work
[01:14] <rubberducky> I cant give mine up because I have an alpine stereo
[01:14] <snoops> Raptor45 okay, the file is ~/.mplayer/config
[01:14] <rubberducky> and i use the ipod fast connect for my car
[01:14] <dyrne> rubberducky: do a google search like site:ubuntuforums.org whateverthatfilenameis
[01:14] <rubberducky> If I could use the ipod connect from alpine with linux running on the ipod...I'd be so happy...But it isn't supported yet
[01:14] <Raptor45> snoops, okay... what do I have to add?
[01:14] <snoops> in that file Raptor45 add "monitoraspect=16:10" assuming you're using 16:10
[01:14] <dyrne> rubberducky: might get lucky
[01:14] <Raptor45> snoops, I am... let me try
[01:14] <snoops> without the double quotes
[01:15] <vickdini> i installed apache but when other people opened my website it didn't open. then i changed the port to 8000 and it works but it's annoying to type 8000 every time. how can i unblock port 80
[01:15] <roig> When I start my computer, Grub says: GRUB loading stage 1.5 Please Wait.. but i waited 20 minutes and nothing.. anyone can help me?
[01:15] <bulle> vickdini: first step is to figure out where port 80 is blocked
[01:15] <nickrud> vickdini, are you behind a firewall?
[01:15] <Raptor45> snoops, aha! thanks
[01:15] <Tarkus> Anyone know why certain programs that i have open (firefox, thunderbird, totem, etc..) stay in the taskbar when i switch to a different workspace? (it does this even when desktop effects are disabled). i have re-installed ubuntu 3 times and it still does that. i cant seem to figure it out, any ideas?
[01:15] <sdfasdfawef> whats a good gui for par2 ?
[01:15] <Raptor45> bulle, fixed now, thanks for helping
[01:15] <sdfasdfawef> gnome gui
[01:15] <dyrne> vickdini: might be your isp
[01:15] <rubberducky> dyrne:  is gtkpod interface easy to manipulate?
[01:15] <vickdini> i installed ubuntu yesterday with its default settings so i don't know
[01:16] <snoops> Raptor45 no problem.. Pretty ridiculous how mplayer doesn't find that info out dynamically.
[01:16] <Vall-k> jowi very thanks :) is late in spain, i go to the bed... tomorrow send the mail. Thanks and see you next time. Bye :)
[01:16] <bootsmorris> the buttons are on the outside of the case on the front so that you can use them with the lid closed
[01:16] <AlivesWrk-> any ideas?
[01:16] <bulle> vickdini: i wouldnt think ubuntu is the culprit here, but more like your isp, or your router or something like that
[01:16] <nickrud> Tarkus, right click the taskbar and select not having apps in all desktops
[01:16] <dyrne> rubberducky: id assume. what do you mean by manipulate
[01:16] <mcphail> vickdini: did you install apache from the repos?
[01:16] <vickdini> actually i installed xampp
[01:17] <vickdini> through the console
[01:17] <rubberducky> dyrne:  I dont like the way there are two file browsers...wikth the same stuff to browse...
[01:17] <Raptor45> snoops, I've been enabling ass subtitles through the command line, can I add that command to that config file instead? the ubuntu version doesn't have the setting in the GUI for some reason
[01:17] <ShayGuy> My wireless worked fine in Edgy earlier today. Then I downloaded Feisty and...ka-isolated!
[01:17] <mcphail> vickdini: i suspect that may be your problem
[01:17] <bulle> ShayGuy: and what wireless chipset are you using ?
[01:17] <bulle> ShayGuy: and what is the problem ?
[01:17] <dyrne> rubberducky: its wierd. i usually end up opening nautilus (well thunar) and dragging from that to gtkpod
[01:17] <bootsmorris> i need some help with my media buttons in ff
[01:17] <ShayGuy> BCM4318.
[01:17] <snoops> Raptor45 oh, I'm not sure on that.. I'd assume you can. Let me bring up a link to the help file on mplayer configs
[01:18] <rubberducky> dyrne:  do you know how to back up all my music from my ipod to my computer?
[01:18] <bulle> ShayGuy: so, you got new kernel when you uppgraded to feisty, did you copy firmware files for the bcm driver to the new kernel dir ?
[01:18] <koshari> bootmorris are you getting messaages like this Use 'setkeycodes e058 <keycode>' to make it known.
[01:18] <koshari> [  801.264000]  atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xd8 on isa
[01:18] <ShayGuy> bulle: How do I do that?
[01:19] <vanberge> anybody can tell me the vi command to replace a phrase?  i.e. "(random data in parens)"  - want to remove all between the parens
[01:19] <AlivesWrk-> im having problems installing pidgin with dpkg in dapper... http://pastebin.ca/476236
[01:19] <Tarkus> nickrud, its already set to "Show windows only from the current workspace"..
[01:19] <andrewkk> i think i'm going to go crazy. why do my iwconfig settings not last more than a minute or two?
[01:19] <bulle> ShayGuy: what driver did you use before upgrading, the bcm43xx one ?
[01:19] <Tarkus> nickrud, and its only certain program, the rest stay on one workspace.
[01:19] <ShayGuy> bulle: No, bcmwl5.
[01:19] <dyrne> rubberducky: there is a Music directory under the ipod config directory you can just tar cfv /home/$USER/musicbackup.tar /media/ipod/whatever/Music/  i think will work
[01:19] <dyrne> rubberducky:  then gzip it to make it more managable
[01:20] <optimistul> i have installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras but the movies are in yellow background in move player
[01:20] <Raptor45> snoops, by trial and error, it seems "ass=yes" in that file does the trick
[01:20] <optimistul> yellow, black and the movies are hard visible in movie player
[01:20] <bimberi> vanberge:    :%s/from/to/        (note that % means global replace, leave it out so that it applies to the current line only)
[01:20] <bulle> ShayGuy: is that a windows driver, so you were using ndiswrapper ?
[01:20] <bootsmorris> no it just plain doesnt detect them.
[01:20] <optimistul> why is this
[01:20] <dyrne> rubberducky: i have done that and it works. just not sure of syntax
[01:21] <snoops> Raptor45 haha, great. Good to know :)
[01:21] <ieldib> hey everybody
[01:21] <dylnuge> hi
[01:21] <vanberge> bimberi, but /from/ will change.   /from  /fron  /frown...  etc.   but always start with fr
[01:21] <optimistul> :(
[01:21] <ShayGuy> bulle: ndiswrapper, yes. And ndiswrapper -l looks different after the Feisty upgrade.
[01:21] <buzzbo> I am using liveCD for fiesty with safe graphics 800x600.  The installer dialogue doesn't fit on the screen (the buttons are off).  Can anyone tell me how to proceed?
[01:22] <bulle> ShayGuy: dont use ndwiswrapper in feisty, use the native in kernel driver, called bcm43xx instead
[01:22] <optimistul> what to do?
[01:22] <bootsmorris> should i just give up on getting any help
[01:22] <optimistul> or this is a bug?
[01:22] <bimberi> vanberge: no, from will only change from
[01:22] <ShayGuy> bulle: Okay, so to deactivate ndiswrapper, what do I do?
[01:22] <sdfasdfawef> any recommendations on a good gnome gui binary newsreader?
[01:23] <buzzbo> any idea how to see the entire installer dialogue box on 800x600?
[01:23] <Corbin|Tuxing> how do u change the desktop enviroments
[01:23] <MarLaw> hello all
[01:23] <Sergo>  GrueTamer do you know why the Movie players can't play normaly movies
[01:23] <bootsmorris> I NEED SOMEONE TO HELP ME WITH MY MEDIA BUTTONS ON MY LAPTOP
[01:23] <EADG> Whats the name of the package I need to install so I can setup/use a mouse in the console (not in X)?
[01:24] <dyrne> sdfasdfawef: pan is the standard really
[01:24] <bimberi> Corbin|Tuxing: select them from the Sessions menu of the login screen
[01:24] <crdlb> !info gpm
[01:24] <ubotu> gpm: General Purpose Mouse Interface. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.19.6-23build1 (feisty), package size 340 kB, installed size 660 kB
[01:24] <rubberducky> dyrne: Yeah but the music directly on the ipod is all screwy...it has them in wacky folders and they are named weird
[01:24] <crdlb> EADG: ^^
[01:24] <EADG> :) hi
[01:24] <Corbin|Tuxing> ok how do u install them
[01:24] <bulle> ShayGuy: i bet there is a nice howto available somewhere on the ubuntu homepage
[01:24] <sdfasdfawef> dyrne: thanks
[01:24] <nickrud> sdfasdfawef, I've used pan in the past
[01:25] <EADG> Thanks
[01:25] <bulle> ShayGuy: i found one, and used that one atleast
[01:25] <bimberi> Corbin|Tuxing: kubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-desktop are the  metapackages
[01:25] <dyrne> rubberducky: yeah that the whole cumbersome thing about ipods on other player you can just drag and drop.  it will tar the whole folder and you can untar later and copy over. its not a great solution becaulse youll have to overwrite the existing music dir for it to work i think
[01:25] <bimberi> nickrud!!
[01:25] <nickrud> bimberi, hi! back from the dead
[01:26] <Sergo> i will try to install another player if this will not help then ubuntu 6.10 was more stable
[01:26] <dyrne> rubberducky: maybe just drag all the songs from gtkpod to a directory
[01:26] <Raptor45> snoops, since you seem familiar with mplayer... when in fullscreen no GUI pops up for seeking/pausing/etc... is this a limitation of the default skin, or mplayer itself?
[01:26] <bimberi> nickrud: yes, it's been a while.  Great to see you back.
[01:26] <buzzbo> All I changed font size for apps to 6pt, and I'm able to barely see the buttons now. (like anyone is listening ;) )
[01:26] <Corbin|Tuxing> what if i want Xfce
[01:26] <EADG> HA! i have a big blocky mouse cursor now. :)
[01:26] <nickrud> bimberi, my machine broke in transit, so I saw that as a sign to do something else for a while :)
[01:26] <rubberducky> Is there a better irc program for ubuntu besides chatzilla and the terminal one?
[01:26] <sdfasdfawef> nickrud: does it read .nzb files?
[01:26] <preaction> rubberducky: xchat
[01:26] <preaction> rubberducky: but not xchat-gnome
[01:26] <nickrud> sdfasdfawef, I'm not sure.
[01:26] <EADG> e songs from gtkpod to a directory
[01:26] <EADG> <  Raptor45> snoops, since you seem familiar with mplayer... when in fullscreen no GUI pops up for seeking/pausing/etc... is this a limitation of the default skin, or mplayer itself?
[01:27] <EADG> <   bimberi> nickrud: yes, it's e songs from gtkpod to a directory
[01:27] <bimberi> nickrud: :)
[01:27] <EADG> <  Raptor45> snoops, since you seem familiar with mplayer... when in fullscreen no GUI pops up for seeking/pausing/etc... is this a limitation of the default skin, or mplayer itself?
[01:27] <buzzbo> hey bimberi--i've successfully booted into the GNOME environment using fiesty.  thx for your help
[01:27] <EADG> <   bimberi> nickrud: yes, it's Sorry.
[01:27] <bulle> rubberducky: "better" is all about your own opinion, its impossible to say what you think is better
[01:27] <rubberducky> Well chatzilla uses a lot of resources on my computer
[01:27] <sdfasdfawef> dyrne: do you know if it accepts .nzb files (newzbin)
[01:27] <EADG> Damm, sorry 'bout that folks.
[01:27] <rubberducky> Firefox keeps freezing on me lately
[01:27] <bimberi> buzzbo: cool, np :)
[01:27] <buzzbo> cya wish me luck on the installer...

[01:29] <Flannel> !anyone | Sergo
[01:29] <Sergo> i mean 7.04
[01:29] <ubotu> Sergo: 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?
[01:29] <bulle> Sergo: how can we know, when you dont tell anyone what you need help with ?
[01:29] <nickrud> sdfasdfawef, try http://www.infoanarchy.org/en/Pan
[01:29] <Sergo> i can't play movies
[01:29] <Sergo> i had installed ubuntu-extra-codecs
[01:30] <Alonea> rubberducky: I might have the older version of it on my computer here somewhere if you want to try installing that after uninstalling the other.
[01:30] <rubberducky> What was the irc client in the terminal
[01:30] <Flannel> Sergo: what sort of movies?
[01:30] <AlivesWrk-> im having problems installing pidgin with dpkg in dapper... http://pastebin.ca/476236 ... what do these errors mean?
[01:30] <bulle> Alonea: i have some random lockups with firefox aswell, and i run new flash
[01:30] <sdfasdfawef> thanks
[01:30] <Flannel> rubberducky: irssi
[01:30] <bulle> for what its worth
[01:30] <Sergo> Flannel comedy
[01:30] <rubberducky> I'll just install irssi...it used to be pretty cool

[01:30] <Flannel> Sergo: no no.  DVD? or what?
[01:30] <gik> helo
[01:30] <Sergo> Flannel, mpg... avi...
[01:30] <gik> does anybody know what listens on tcp 2208 on ubuntu ?
[01:30] <Alonea> bulle: yeah. I have not installed the new version yet. one day when I said firefox crashed he started talking about this flash problem
[01:31] <Flannel> Sergo: Well, it depends on what codec youre trying.  So you'll need to be specific.
[01:31] <Sergo> i can't see my film in player, it's just an yellow color or black in some time..
[01:31] <rubberducky> Thanks dyrne ...Later
[01:31] <nexous> How do I do about printing a file via terminal or Nano?

[01:31] <troughton> is it posible to have kde and gnome running side by side ??
[01:31] <Heygabe> Bash says I have mail. What do I do?
[01:32] <bulle> troughton: depends a bit on what you mean with side by side
[01:32] <Devyll> how can I see what type of filsystem a certain partition has ?!
[01:32] <nickrud> troughton, yes, but you'll need to enable new login in the menu. Thats the easiest
[01:32] <troughton> so i can chose between kde and gnome on start up
[01:32] <bulle> troughton: you can always run two x servers, and run kde on one and gnome on the other
[01:32] <variant> Devyll: mount
[01:32] <SolidasArocK> #ubuntu.fr
[01:32] <nickrud> troughton, or, select from the options in the lower left when you log in
[01:32] <bulle> troughton: sure, just install both kde and gnome, and then choose either kde or gnome session, at login time
[01:32] <gik> bulle do u know what listens on 2208 on ubuntu?
[01:32] <dyrne> sudo fdisk -p /dev/hda might also work
[01:33] <bulle> gik: sudo netstat -lp
[01:33] <troughton> ok how do i install kde as it was not an option on the install
[01:33] <Alonea> bulle: I would post an older version of the install, but I no longer have the install file. I deleted a bunch of unneeded files the other day because I needed space
[01:33] <nexous> I'm not getting anything from my printer.
[01:33] <crdlb> troughton: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[01:33] <bulle> Alonea: no worries
[01:33] <Jester45> hello, im trying to get 2 moniters to run on 2 video cards, i got them both working  but they only work one at a time,  screen one is on a older intergrated card and i just want it for a ttyl and it does that but only when screen 2 is not on F7 so, i can pick screen 1 or 2 but both will not work. I have no idea where to start with fixing this maybe 2 xservers or telling ttyl to use screen 1 and X to use 2
[01:33] <troughton> thank you
[01:33] <nexous> Hold on, It's still Processing..
[01:33] <gik> bulle it doesnt show what proc is attached to it
[01:34] <dyrne> Jester45: twinview or what?
[01:34] <gik> bulle do u have a proc on ur ubuntu that listens to 2208 ?
[01:34] <Jester45> dyrne: no just xorg.conf
[01:34] <dyrne> Jester45: ah
[01:34] <bulle> gik: no
[01:34] <Jester45> i will paste conf
[01:34] <crdlb> Jester45: you should be setting up xinerama
[01:34] <ShayGuy> bulle: Well, I seem to have uninstalled ndiswrapper. So now what do I do to get bcm43xx in place?
[01:34] <gik> bulle trojan?
[01:35] <Devyll> with fdisk -p /dev/hda it doesn't work; with mount I don't know how to do that . Can anyone help me ?
[01:35] <bulle> gik: once again "sudo netstat -lp"
[01:35] <bulle> gik: it will tell you what it is
[01:35] <Dquestions> so I have an app i want to add to my sessions.. its on my accessories menu.. but i cant find the command for it

[01:35] <crdlb> Dquestions: screenlets-tray
[01:35] <gik> bulle thanks
[01:35] <rever75> Hi can someone recommend an AntiVirus program. I know I do not need one for Linux. I was thinking more to help scan my Windows Partition in an emergency. Also to scan Windows programs I download or am sent via e-mail.
[01:36] <nickrud> ShayGuy, the easiest is to use bcm43xx-fwcutter, it'll download and install the firmware for you
[01:36] <Dquestions> doesn anyone know how to find out the commands?
[01:36] <crdlb> Dquestions: you can just drag it to the panel then right click on it and hit properties
[01:36] <Flannel> Dquestions: If you go to edit the menu, it should show it.
[01:36] <nexous> How do I go about troubleshooting my printer in linux?
[01:36] <Dquestions> i mean.. if I dindt know it off the top of my head
[01:36] <rever75> I do not want something constantly running I am looking for an on demand AV client
[01:36] <Corbin|Tuxing> how do i install enviroments
[01:36] <karlheg> Dquestions, drag the menu item onto the panel, then right click that and select "Properties".
[01:36] <dyrne> nexous: google search like 'site:linuxprinting.org printermodel'
[01:36] <Safrole> Anyone know of any links for a glib or glibc repository on ubuntu's site?
[01:36] <nexous> dyrne: thank you.
[01:36] <omri> http://www.jewbuntu.org/ - heh :)
[01:37] <Jester45> crdlb: do i have to sure that, and my cards are both ati
[01:37] <synjet> corbin|tuxing, shells? like bash, csh?
[01:37] <Dquestions> thanks
[01:37] <vanberge> any bash gurus?  im trying to open a file for reading... i.e. "  read file | while read lines do  echo "$lines" done
[01:37] <crdlb> Jester45: because you are using two cards I believe you have to use xinerama
[01:37] <whtet> how do i configure ddns client ? http://www.cpqlinux.com/hostname.html I have configured the /etc/network/interfaces to include 'hostname' options but it is no updating my ddns server
[01:37] <Jester45> crdlb: that will let me use both at the same time
[01:37] <rever75> Safrole, Glib and Glibc should be in the main repos
[01:38] <OliverW> Hello :) Hey, just wondering is there an easy way to compare 2 text files and get the differences between them? I don't mean the 'diff' way, so not putting lines next to eachother and then compare. The order of the lines are quite random
[01:38] <crdlb> Jester45: that's what it's for
[01:38] <Safrole> rever75: I can't find them in synaptic
[01:38] <Tarkus> anyone know of a good program for creating a simple screencast in ubuntu?
[01:38] <Safrole> Is that where you mean?
[01:38] <jefroo> i have a self extracting winzip .exe, is there anyway i can convert it or get it to extract under ubuntu?
[01:38] <Corbin|Tuxing> nm
[01:38] <crdlb> jefroo: use wine?
[01:38] <Jester45> crdlb: on i havent looked into that much, i just tried xorg.conf ing ti
[01:38] <jefroo> tried it, but it falls over
[01:38] <Lunderhage> jefro: Try to unzip it...
[01:38] <Steve^> Why does the aptitude auto-complete list have more entries than synaptic? (Example: synaptic has libgpod1, aptitude has libgpod0 too)
[01:38] <crdlb> Jester45: you should enable xinerama and set it up in your xorg.conf
[01:39] <rever75> Safrole, What exactly are you looking for?
[01:39] <Jester45> crdlb: ok i will work on that
[01:39] <whtet> jefroo try winrar command line program, wirar can extract self extrating program in windows enviorment
[01:39] <Safrole> rever75: I'm trying to compile something, and I showed the error to someone and they said that it was generated because I'm missing glib or glibc
[01:39] <jefroo> ok
[01:40] <rever75> Safrole, aptitude install build-essentials
[01:40] <crdlb> no s
[01:40] <crdlb> build-essential
[01:41] <Safrole> crdlb: thanks
[01:41] <rever75> crdlb, lol oppps thanks for the correction
[01:41] <Safrole> okay let me try to compile what I was trying before and see if it happens again
[01:41] <Safrole> thanks rever75
[01:42] <crdlb> Safrole: if another version of the package is in apt, you can: sudo apt-get build-dep package
[01:42] <nickrud> Steve^, aptitude shows packages that used to exist but don't anymore :)
[01:42] <crdlb> and that will pull in all the build dependencies
[01:42] <DevLaVaca> Hi! How do I remove a wireless network from NetworkManager?  I accidentally clicked on one that is not mine, and now it tries to connect to that every time I restart.
[01:42] <Safrole> I don't even think it's in there
[01:42] <Steve^> nickrud, how helpful...
[01:42] <rever75> DevLaVaca, is there connection faster? LOL
[01:43] <nickrud> Steve^, well, apt-cache policy <packages> will at least tell you if that's the case
[01:43] <DevLaVaca> rever75: I wish!
[01:43] <spiraldark> Ok, regarding my compiz problem from quite a while ago in here... I have reinstalled compiz and still when I run it it almost freezes up.. (it used to work...)
[01:43] <dyrne> vanberge: concatonate variable from read to a file?
[01:44] <crdlb> spiraldark: #ubuntu-effects
[01:44] <jorgp> is the ubuntu-7.04-desktop-i386.iso also a live cd?
[01:44] <crdlb> jorgp: yes
[01:44] <rm_you> I'm in the feisty liveCD and I can't seem to get my raid working... this is what I get when I do "mdadm --assemble /dev/md0":
[01:44] <crdlb> that's all it is
[01:44] <rm_you> mdadm: failed to add /dev/sdd1 to /dev/md0: Invalid argument
[01:44] <rm_you> mdadm: /dev/md0 assembled from 3 drives - not enough to start the array.
[01:45] <Sergo> the problem was in desktop effects
[01:45] <nexous> My printer can be accessed via an ip, so in ubuntu, I should be able to add the IP as an IPP Printer right?
[01:45] <Sergo> i turned it off and now i can play movies with no problems
[01:45] <jorgp> crdlb, can you install feisty with it also, or is it just livecd?
[01:45] <crdlb> Sergo: ati or intel?
[01:45] <crdlb> jorgp: yes you can install the live environment
[01:45] <patattack> I tried to install vmwareplayer and it wouldn't install properly, now I cannot even remove it
[01:46] <Sergo> crdal: intel
[01:46] <OliverW> Tarkus, try wink :)
[01:46] <crdlb> Sergo: that's a known problem in the video drivers, you can avoid it by using mplayer
[01:46] <dyrne> patattack: as a rule i stay away from the player and just download vmware-server form their website
[01:46] <crdlb> and it will be fixed in xorg 7.3 (gutsy)
[01:47] <patattack> dyrne: Yeah, that's what I want to do, but I cannot get player to uninstall, not even with synaptic
[01:47] <Dquestions> is it possible to "pipe" a command into sessions for a konsole window to start up with that command (starting another service) and have it "hang" the konsole until you want to quit the program (simply close the dedicated konsole window)
[01:47] <dyrne> patattack: i guess you could do something like sudo find / -name *vmware* | xargs -i rm -fr {}  that might not be safe though
[01:47] <nickrud> patattack, what kind of error message?
[01:47] <patattack> E: vmware-player: subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
[01:47] <dyrne> patattack: best not to listen to me sometimes :)
[01:48] <phixxor_> is there a chat client for gnu/linux that supports audio chat
[01:48] <graft> so, i got this usb2 pci card, assuming it would be linux-compatible, which it maybe is not. How do i find out?
[01:48] <patattack> dyrne: I would rather not run another ubuntu install, so I may not listen to you :-P
[01:48] <rm_you> Does anyone have links to some good resources for mdadm raid management? I'm trying to figure out how EXACTLY to reformat one of the drives in the array and add it back, and get it to be rebuilt correctly
[01:48] <dyrne> phixxor_: just voip ot text and voip
[01:48] <Sergo> crdlb: i can't avoid it , i have try a lot of players but no one work correctly with desktop effects enabled feature
[01:48] <Sergo> =[
[01:48] <crdlb> Sergo: try mplayer with Xv, it will work
[01:48] <phixxor_> dyrne: um, what are those? Do they work with aim or jabber?
[01:49] <patattack> I'm glad I got myself on an nvidia platform!
[01:49] <patattack> beryl just isnt the same without it
[01:49] <vanberge> can anyone help me with apt?  every time i do something in apt-get it gives me a huge list of packages that are no longer required.  but when i apt-get autoremove it doesnt do anything
[01:49] <dyrne> phixxor_: try searching for chat clients that support sip. sorry that last post wasnt clear.
[01:49] <nickrud> patattack, you might be able to see what's going on if you can read bash :) that problem is in the file /var/lib/dpkg/info/vmwareplayer.prerm
[01:49] <crdlb> Sergo: you just get no video right?
[01:49] <synjet> phixxor: kopete allows webcam, hence I guess even voice-chat
[01:49] <vickdini> does anybody know how to unblock port 80
[01:49] <phixxor_> dyrne: alright, thanks
[01:49] <Sergo> crdlb: yes
[01:50] <crdlb> vickdini: where is it blocked?
[01:50] <graft> anyone? how do i know if a USB2 pci card will work in ubuntu?
[01:50] <Sergo> right
[01:50] <crdlb> Sergo: then mplayer -vo xv video.avi     will work
[01:50] <Dquestions> is this possible with any terminal software?
[01:50] <dyrne> vickdini: you might edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config to listen on port 80 and test if its your isp
[01:50] <Sergo> i will remember this
[01:50] <patattack> nickrud: I noticed that it was erroring out trying to pick a subnet to run player on durring the install
[01:50] <nexous> Whenever I go to print something, it shows up State: Printing: job-printing, it sends the request to my printer, but it won't print out anything, not even feed the paper.
[01:50] <Sergo> thanks
[01:51] <nickrud> patattack, I don't know a thing about vmware, so the details of what it'd do on removal ...
[01:51] <patattack> nickrud: that file doesn't exist
[01:52] <nickrud> patattack, change that to vmware-player
[01:52] <patattack> k
[01:52] <dyrne> patattack: the xargs thing will work im just not sure of package problems later
[01:52] <Corbin|Tuxing> my i cant burn DVD's
[01:52] <Arrick> how do I find out which version of PHP is running in my LAMP 6.06.1 Server install?
[01:52] <halpern> all...im considering using Ubuntu..how does it differ from most distros?
[01:52] <OlliW> arrick, make a file called info.php
[01:52] <cotton> halpern: It is better
[01:52] <halpern> like slackware, debian, etc
[01:52] <cotton> !best | halpern
[01:52] <ubotu> halpern: 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.
[01:52] <OlliW> put <?php phpinfo() ?> in it then visit the page
[01:52] <MoLE_> graft, check the chipset numbers on the card - this info can be used to determine if the chipset is supported in linux
[01:53] <nickrud> halpern, it's so close to debian it stings
[01:53] <hellbound1> anyone know how I make a file that opens the terminal and runs a command just by double clicking something?
[01:53] <crabgrass> what do i use to search for files?
[01:53] <patattack> nickrud: This file is definately greek to me
[01:53] <dyrne> halpern: well honestly i like dapper but feisty hd io performance kinda sucks. thats one difference. overall community and easy to install alot of packages
[01:53] <graft> MoLE_: argh.
[01:53] <snoops> emphasis on ease of use halpern
[01:53] <mneptok> halpern: that's sorta offtopic for a support channel
[01:53] <codecaine> when I use dvd rip the sound is a little off from the movie how can I fix that?
[01:53] <nickrud> patattack, you probably should look at bugs.launchpad.net and find out if there's a bug filed about this.
[01:53] <graft> MoLE_: okay, is there some way I can use BEFORE i actually buy a card and have it in my hands?
[01:53] <halpern> mneptok: ill just read the docs and make the decision on my own :)
[01:54] <patattack> I notice that I have a lot of vm-net stuff running in ps -A  Do you think that stopping those might help the uninstall?
[01:54] <synjet> halpern: or check out ubuntu-offtopic channel
[01:54] <mneptok> halpern: now yer talkin'. opinions on IRC are hardly reliable.
[01:54] <halpern> :)
[01:54] <MoLE_> graft, well, you could try and check the hardware compatibility lists on doc.gwos.org
[01:54] <koshari> crabgrass in term type    locate <search>
[01:54] <halpern> let me check out the offtopic channel..i apologize for the spam
[01:54] <Corbin|Tuxing> what is a good programing for making data dvds
[01:55] <Arrick> wow according to webmin, there is no php on it
[01:55] <atrus> i'm having some problems with avahi in feisty. seems like a have to restart it by hand from time to time to get it working. suggestions on where to look for more information would be appreciated
[01:55] <Arrick> yet my site is php
[01:55] <koshari> corbin K3b
[01:55] <crabgrass> koshari: tyvm
[01:55] <nickrud> patattack, heh. try looking in /etc/init.d, find the vmware one, then sudo invoke-rc.d <vmwarething> stop, and try again. The prerm should stop that itself, but maybe ...
[01:55] <Wanderer> does ubuntu have a file->package listing to find what package you need to install a file you do not have?
[01:55] <crabgrass> koshari: any ui?
[01:55] <vickdini> dyrne: i opened the file but it doesn't say anything about port 80
[01:55] <nickrud> Wanderer, packages.ubuntu.com

[01:56] <nickrud> ah, gotta go. patattack good luck. Check the bugs
[01:56] <crdlb> Wanderer: /msg ubotu find filename
[01:56] <patattack> I just got rid of it
[01:56] <patattack> yay!
[01:56] <dyrne> vickdini: you can add a line like Port 80  then save and sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart and try to ssh to your comp using the outsid ip like ssh 00.00.00.00 -p 80
[01:57] <Arrick> how do i create a file from terminal called info.php?
[01:57] <OlliW> just open an editor
[01:57] <OlliW> like gedit
[01:57] <dyrne> vickdini: of course after that remove the Port 80
[01:57] <BigToe> oh god!
[01:57] <Arrick> OlliW, what part of SERVER INSTALL didnt you read?
[01:57] <Arrick> terminal only

[01:58] <OlliW> you're welcome
[01:58] <OlliW> *mutters... why do a server install if you don't even know how to edit a file :(*
[01:58] <Arrick> now OlliW how do I go there and get info?
[01:58] <OlliW> like I said
[01:58] <Arrick> because I normally dont need to get this kind of info
[01:59] <synjet> olliw: he should have apt-get remove attitude :)
[01:59] <patattack> has anyone in here installed a windows virtual machine in ubuntu?
[01:59] <OlliW> create a file with the content <?php phpinfo() ?>
[01:59] <Arrick> uhmm, how-to on visitint eh page please?
[01:59] <Arrick> did that part
[01:59] <OlliW> then visit info.php in your webbrowser

[02:00] <crdlb> Arrick: it's a webserver right?
[02:00] <Scunizi> patattack:  I have win2kpro running in a window right now.
[02:00] <Arrick> yes
[02:00] <Arrick> crdlb,
[02:00] <OlliW> lynx http://arrick.whatever.com :P
[02:00] <crdlb> then put it in /var/www/ and visit it
[02:00] <ShayGuy> bulle: I keep coming back to the same problem: my laptop doesn't have a wired connection, so I can't download what I need directly there.
[02:00] <OlliW> so you can reach your webserver from any browser in the world... right?
[02:00] <Arrick> ohh ok
[02:00] <Arrick> thanks

[02:02] <Wanderer> crdlb: I think the packages.ubuntu.com might be better.  I'm looking for "config.h" ...
[02:03] <usser> hello everyone
[02:03] <Wanderer> need to compile a realtek driver
[02:03] <patattack> Scunizi: I need to get a VM up for work, there are applications I need that I cannot port with wine. What VM software do you use?
[02:03] <OlliW> Wanderer, you probably need the kernel headers
[02:03] <cotton> "Linux, because I'd rather own a free OS than steal one that's not worth paying for. "
[02:04] <OlliW> #sudo apt-cache search kernel-headers
[02:04] <OlliW> or linux-headers
[02:04] <OlliW> one of both
[02:04] <Wanderer> OlliW: that's odd.  I have the "kernel-headers-2.6.20-15" installed but there's no linux/config.h there
[02:04] <Wanderer> that's what i thought but it's missing
[02:05] <telejedi> some of my applications i can't handle under gnome, because i do not have permissions - how can i change it???
[02:05] <Scunizi> patattack:  I'll open a private channel.. this could be lengthly.
[02:05] <OlliW> "Linux, I don't mind paying, but I would rather do whatever I want with my computer what I want without an dictatorial vendor telling me what I can't do"

[02:10] <dodgyville> Hi. Since yesterday my total swap space has dropped to zero (total, available, used = 0) - what could be causing that?
[02:10] <OlliW> yellow_chicken: try 'wait'
[02:10] <NickGarvey> dodgyville: swap isn't mounted, "sudo swapon -a"
[02:10] <amicitas> Normally I would put these setting in my .login (I use tcsh) but this is not read when I login to KDE (or gnome).  Where should I be putting these settings (I want this to be done on a user basis)
[02:10] <dodgyville> NickGarvey: It says "swapon: /dev/mapper/Ubuntu-swap_1: Invalid argument"
[02:11] <synjet> dodgyville: try viewwing swap info using gparted
[02:11] <NickGarvey> dodgyville: could you pastebin "sudo fdisk -l" please?
[02:11] <compilerwriter> amicitas I would guess the bashrc
[02:11] <Snowma1> can anyone help me with that?
[02:11] <Wanderer> OlliW: hmm, installing apt-file and searching
[02:11] <riddlebox> can someone help me with my terminal not starting?
[02:11] <Wanderer> thanks
[02:11] <Wanderer> but the packages site gave no hit
[02:11] <benkong2> hello
[02:12] <yellow_chicken> OlliW: command not found. synaptic does not have it either
[02:12] <needhelp> Hi, need help upgrading Dapper 6.06 to Edgy 6.10. After doing an upgrade, a Errormessage keeps popping up telling "The Application "nautilus" has quit unexpectedly". How can I fix and complete the upgrade ?
[02:12] <dodgyville> synjet, NickGarvey: There's three partitions: hda1 = boot, hda2 = extended, hda5 = unknown (same size as hda2). That doesn't sound good.
[02:12] <amicitas> compilerwriter: bashcr is parsed every time that a terminal is opened, but what I want is the file that is parsed only on login (normally this would be .bash_profile (if i were using bash) but this is not parsed at login either I think)
[02:12] <OlliW> yellow_chicken: it should be there, it's part of bash :)
[02:12] <usser> amicitas: well according to my shell scripting book, bash looks for these files, in home .bash_profile .bash_login .profile
[02:12] <NickGarvey> dodgyville: yeah.. thats a bad thing..
[02:12] <usser> amicitas: in that order
[02:12] <kazol> When I press super+F6, the windows get minimized, but disappear from the bottom panel. Is this supposed to happen with beryl?
[02:13] <NickGarvey> dodgyville: do you know what hda5 is?
[02:13] <compilerwriter> amicitas you have the system set up so that you use the tcsh when you open a terminal?
[02:13] <usser> amicitas: if it i finds one it stops looking
[02:13] <OlliW> yellow_chicken: or try sleep ?
[02:13] <yellow_chicken> OlliW:
[02:13] <OlliW> 'sleep'
[02:13] <dodgyville> NickGarvey: The flags are lvm
[02:13] <OlliW> :)
[02:13] <dodgyville> Maybe it was the swap space?
[02:13] <kazol> Could someone who runs beryl please try pressing super+F6 and telling me what you see in the bottom panel?
[02:13] <OlliW> 'sleep <number of secs>'
[02:13] <NickGarvey> ah crap I don't know anything about lvm
[02:13] <Flannel> kazol: #ubuntu-effects
[02:13] <Snowma1> does someone know how I can restore the mixer for my sound card?
[02:13] <NickGarvey> dodgyville: how big is it? were you aware of another partiton?
[02:13] <kazol> flannel: I tried, but no one did it.
[02:13] <amicitas> ussr: that is normally true, but that does not seem to work in ubuntu (again I am using tcsh instead of bash so for me it would be .cshrc and .login
[02:14] <NickGarvey> dodgyville: actually, I bet it was, because I remember some distros liked to put swap in its own extended partition
[02:14] <benkong2> I am trying to install ubuntu-server 7.04 and keep getting a malloc error on boot. Debian Etch boots fine any idea what's wrong?
[02:14] <dodgyville> NickGarvey: It is/was filetype 8e ...
[02:14] <yellow_chicken> OlliW: i am using sleep, but want a command to pause, so until i hit space key. my script will not process on forward until i am done reading
[02:14] <dodgyville> It's standard ubuntu
[02:14] <amicitas> ussr: I can easaly set things up so that stuff  get parsed when I open a terminal, but I want it set on login to Gnome/KDE
[02:14] <compilerwriter> amicitas should it not be the .tcshrc and .login, or will it default to the .cshrc if you have no .tcshrc?
[02:15] <Snowma1> I guess not...
[02:15] <amicitas> compiler: yes it defaults to .cshrc
[02:15] <Flannel> dodgyville, NickGarvey, 8e is LVM
[02:15] <NickGarvey> ok, now I know one thing about lvm
[02:15] <dodgyville> Hmm, is it worth reformattting that partition?
[02:15] <NickGarvey> :)
[02:15] <johnl> l
[02:15] <OlliW> yellow_chicken: is it just to read text?
[02:15] <needhelp> Need help upgrading Dapper 6.06 to Edgy 6.10. After doing an upgrade, a Errormessage keeps popping up telling "The Application "nautilus" has quit unexpectedly". How can I fix and complete the upgrade ?
[02:15] <Flannel> dodgyville: You should be able to work with LVM partitions, what areyou ultimately dealing with right now?
[02:15] <yellow_chicken> OlliW: man wait, no manual
[02:16] <NickGarvey> Flannel: his swap disappeared on him
[02:16] <patattack> needhelp: are you booting from the CD to upgrade?
[02:16] <OlliW> yellow_chicken: if you just want to read a textfile in the terminal try 'more filename.txt' :)
[02:16] <yellow_chicken> OlliW: to pause, i will have enough time to read, but don't want to use sleep and set a default time
[02:16] <synjet> needhelp: you could try safe mode and see whats wrong (but I doubt even that might crash)
[02:16] <Flannel> NickGarvey: oh.  Thats... rather unusual.  dodgyville, did you have LVM setup originally?
[02:16] <whtet> how do i configure ddns client ? http://www.cpqlinux.com/hostname.html I have configured the /etc/network/interfaces to include 'hostname' options but it is no updating my ddns server

[02:17] <neopsyche> channel?
[02:17] <dodgyville> Flannel: My swap space has dropped to zero (vanished). As I recall, swap space usually has its own partition - I can't see it, but there is a strange broken LVM partition that I think was it once...
[02:17] <whtet> well, i found the solution to my question
[02:17] <needhelp> synjet: how do I do a safemode upgrading ?
[02:17] <dodgyville> Flannel: I just install ubuntu a year or two ago and never had a problem
[02:17] <dodgyville> methinks its time to back up my stuff
[02:17] <yellow_chicken> OlliW: nope, it's perl; so system("do stuff"); system("pause until i hit enter"); system("do more stuff");
[02:17] <Flannel> dodgyville: well, If you don't think anything was there (well, anything not-swap), go ahead and reformat and re-add it as swap.  What does your fstab say about it?
[02:17] <whtet> Uncomment and Edit the following lines in  /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
[02:17] <whtet> #send host-name "mydebian.mydomain.com";
[02:17] <whtet> Then restart the network service as follow (with root privilege)

[02:18] <neopsyche> Want to know about satellite broadcasting but no #satellite channel????
[02:18] <needhelp> synjet: you mean before I log in to GNOME ?
[02:18] <dodgyville> Flannel: There's nothing in fstab about it. And it gets reported by  fdisk as being the same size as hda2
[02:18] <synjet> yellow_chicken, oh, I dont know perl, but it might have an equivalent to C where you can give an empty getchar() which waits for a key to be pressed (crude pause) :)
[02:19] <synjet> needhelp: GDM: where you loginto Gnome.. the login screen where you enter username and pw
[02:19] <Flannel> dodgyville: well, if hda2 is extended, then you ... should have logical partitions inside of it.  Right?
[02:19] <needhelp> synjet: okay, I'll come back soon :-)
[02:19] <yellow_chicken> synjet: yes, i guess i have to do something like getchar(); was looking for a native bash command to wait. but i guess i'll use a perl code like getchar
[02:20] <AlinuxSOS> hello, is there some GTK based tool for ADSL pppoe connecitons ? (I have no flat connection)
[02:20] <ziggy23> What is the proper thing to do if Ubuntu does not shut down properly? is there a way to run fsck safely?  What about defrag?
[02:20] <OlliW> or you could use bash' read command
[02:20] <Arrick> is there a phone tools type application for ubuntu 6.06.1 that will utilize a modem and be an answering machin?
[02:20] <synjet> ziggy23: try "shutdown" from terminal
[02:21] <OlliW> it's a bit of a hack, but it should work
[02:21] <Flannel> ziggy23: to run fsck at next bootup: `sudo touch /forcefsck` then reboot.  ext3 (and most linux filesystems) don't need defragging
[02:21] <dodgyville> Flannel: I don't know enough about how partions and file systems work to answer that :(
[02:21] <Workaphobia> is this a good place for install issues? Specifically resizing ntfs?
[02:21] <Flannel> Arrick: there are, or there were.  Search the repositories, some ought to show up
[02:21] <synjet> workaphobia: yes, go ahead and ask
[02:21] <arnold-0953> Can anyone help me fix a permissions problem with my Desktop?
[02:21] <swheatley> I would like to re-arrange my partitions after deleting a Windows parition on a dual-boot machine. Is it possible to shift all the partitions towards the front of the disk?
[02:21] <Flannel> !anyone | Arrick
[02:21] <ubotu> Arrick: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[02:21] <Flannel> arnold-0953, not Arrick
[02:22] <Arrick> lol Flannel
[02:22] <arnold-0953> hahaha
[02:22] <ziggy23> Flannel what does the "touch" part of the command do?
[02:22] <Workaphobia> I'm helping my friend install and we had issues with resizing his 80 gig NTFS partition down to 65ish, using the install icon on the desktop from the livecd
[02:22] <synjet> arnold-1953, is it a apecific app or many apps?
[02:22] <NickGarvey> ziggy23: man touch
[02:22] <NickGarvey> wow, that is awkward
[02:22] <Flannel> ziggy23: touch (in this case) will create the file
[02:22] <Workaphobia> originally it would fail and we found that was due to it being unclean, so we reloaded and shutdown windows and that worked
[02:22] <Arrick> lol NickGarvey
[02:22] <usser> hehe
[02:22] <chump> Arrick: http://www.freeos.com/articles/3715/
[02:22] <ziggy23> ok thanks

[02:23] <OlliW> NickGarvey: nice for bash.org ;)
[02:23] <usser> OlliW: lol
[02:23] <arnold-0953> synjet: somehow the permissions ended up disallowing me from moving things on the desktop, so i chmod'd it (and investigated - it is owned by a user that is not me - 'staff'), and i can use it, but when I drag a file or something, a copy is made
[02:23] <Workaphobia> Ug. Apparently it was working the entire time without updating the progress bar. Is that normal?
[02:23] <Arry> Can anyone help me sort the sound out in my new install?

[02:25] <arnold-0953> mcphail: i'm not sure what you mean; the only thing I can remember doing in between noticing this is running an executable (which required sudo) which was c urrently residing on the desktop
[02:25] <OlliW> tuxplorer: ubuntu doesn't have a sysconfig I think

[02:28] <needhelp> Hi, need help upgrading Ubuntu to version 7.04. After I did a 'gksu "update-manager -c", theres a window which informs me "Preparing the upgrade" and "Fetching file xx of 29". The problem is it waits forever and finally fails (times out) at file 28 of 29. How can I fix the problem ?
[02:28] <aqua_lotus> do you guys kow if ubuntu is thinkin or will lunch one netinstall cd?
[02:28] <OlliW> tuxplorer: I'm having a short look...
[02:28] <bruenig> kazol, k just making you aware, which you appear to be so good
[02:29] <bruenig> jvai, you can do ffmpeg -i whatever.avi -target ntsc-dvd whatever.mpg and then use dvdauthor from there
[02:29] <jordan> Can anyone give me advice on what new networking hardware I should buy, or redirect me to the appropriate forum please?
[02:29] <swheatley> I would like to re-arrange my partitions after deleting a Windows parition on a dual-boot machine. Is it possible to shift all the partitions towards the front of the disk?
[02:29] <jordan> Scratch that, I mean channel or forum
[02:29] <jvai_> dvd author @br
[02:29] <Pelo> jordan,  I guess it would depend on what kind of network you have in mind
[02:30] <amoore> does any one know if gstreamer supports dvd nav
[02:30] <IgorSobreira> anybody knows any program to show the CPU temperature in a notebook....the gdesklets doens't work for that here
[02:30] <jvai_> breu i have dvdrip is it the same?
[02:30] <Arrick> amoore, you need to change your nick
[02:30] <Pelo> !dvd | amoore
[02:30] <ubotu> amoore: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[02:30] <amoore> lm sensors
[02:30] <jordan> Pelo: Im not sure whether I need a router or a switch.  What I need is huge LAN to LAN throughput, but having a port forwarder would be nice.. albeit not 100% necessary.  I need gigabit speeds, fastest possible
[02:30] <synjet> swheatley: linux tends to have partitions together unlike windows that scatters  the files (you might have to defrag to bring them "close", I read at o'reilly howto)
[02:31] <vickdin1> anybody knows how to unlock port 80??
[02:31] <Pelo> IgorSobreira, check in this wiki for instrutions on how to setup sensors and related stuff  http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty
[02:31] <bruenig> jvai, no, I will write up a script to do it and put it in pastebin
[02:31] <amoore> Im using elisa and its powered by gstreamer
[02:32] <amoore> elisa is a fulendo project

[02:32] <Pelo> jordan,  you might try in #networking
[02:32] <magez> from where i can found those istructions for ati drivers with patch for feisty???
[02:32] <jordan> pelo: thanks
[02:33] <mcphail> vickdin1: have you removed XAMPP and install apache from the repos?
[02:33] <Pelo> !ati
[02:33] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:33] <vickdin1> i didn't remove it but i did a telnet test on it as a website said and its something on my pc not on the isp
[02:34] <rummik> anyone have the missing window border problem with beryl?
[02:34] <SeveredCross> Lots of people, get in line.
[02:34] <amoore> try reloading the window manager
[02:34] <SeveredCross> You may need to reload Emerald or Beryl.
[02:34] <jhford> does anyone know the command line switch to run multiple firefoxes?
[02:34] <Pelo> rummik,  you probably need to specify a beryl theme
[02:34] <riddlebox> is there any reason that gnome-terminal would have any problems now because I have three monitors?
[02:34] <amoore> in beryl
[02:34] <Flannel> vickdin1: if XAMPP is still running, Apache won't be able to bind to :80
[02:34] <vickdin1> i had the same problem with apache on winxp though
[02:34] <mcphail> vickdin1: i'm afraid we would struggle to support XAMPP here.
[02:34] <Frizz0> Hello
[02:34] <^punisher> hi
[02:34] <jvai_> oo ok ty so much @ breunig
[02:34] <rummik> amoore, SeveredCross: tried it

[02:35] <mcphail> !lamp > vickdin1
[02:35] <rummik> Pelo: ok, i'll try that
[02:35] <SeveredCross> rummik: What's your card?
[02:35] <amoore> ????
[02:35] <^punisher> dunno
[02:35] <Frizz0> fun
[02:35] <jhford> does anyone know the command line switch to run multiple firefoxes?
[02:35] <synjet> jhford, could you be lil more specific?
[02:35] <FakeOutdoorsman> i can't connect to some web sites right now, even using ip addresses, so it isn't DNS. others sites work fine.  this is land based wireless.

[02:35] <Dquestions> i have already installed it
[02:35] <jhford> or else know how to install mplayer-plugin for i386 without hacking it out
[02:35] <Flannel> !chroot | jhford
[02:35] <ubotu> jhford: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box
[02:36] <rummik> SeveredCross: i'ts a nvidia geforce 7300 gs
[02:36] <bruenig> jvai, ok here is the script, it should be able to create a dvd iso out of any media file that ffmpeg can handle which is almost anything. You do need to install ffmpeg and dvdauthor to use it. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19712/
[02:36] <SeveredCross> Oh, okay, nVidia.
[02:36] <vickdin1> isn't there any way to redirect ports like 8000-->80
[02:36] <SeveredCross> That's odd, you shouldn't have so many problems.
[02:36] <Flannel> vickdin1: Instead of pounding through workarounds, just fix the issue.
[02:36] <Pelo> Dquestions,  I think there is a menu entry in accessories,  or try avant in the tarminal
[02:36] <guerrillawon> Can anyone help me patch directx into my wine installation? I have the patch but not sure how to properly implement it.
[02:36] <OlliW> rummik: try $ sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals
[02:37] <mcphail> vickdin1: as we don't support XAMPP we won't know your configuration.
[02:37] <jhford> i really don't need to run that, i just need to know how to launch 2 firefoxes as seperate processes
[02:37] <Pelo> guerrillawon,  ask in #winehq
[02:37] <vickdin1> well thanks any way
[02:37] <jhford> that is a little much for me, but thanks anyway!
[02:37] <OlliW> but backup your /xorg.conf
[02:37] <rummik> OlliW: ok
[02:37] <needhelp> Where is the room to ask for ubuntu installs and upgrading ?
[02:37] <guerrillawon> Pelo that makes sense
[02:37] <jhford> here?
[02:37] <mcphail> vickdin1: honestly, the ubuntu way is _much_ easier, and we can diagnose the problem from a standard install
[02:37] <guerrillawon> thanks buddy

[02:38] <Flannel> needhelp: Disable that repository.
[02:38] <Flannel> needhelp: err... wait.  What version of ubuntu are you running currently?
[02:38] <synjet> jhford: I guess invoking from their respectiv dirs should call the respective FF
[02:38] <jhford> snyjet: no, it firefox is just a script
[02:38] <magez> do i have to remove old ati drivers if im gonna install new ones..?
[02:38] <Pelo> needhelp,  it doesn't mean anyone currently in knows how to help you with your issue,  you might want to check in the forum,  my advice,   move your /home to another partition and clean install , you'll have a lot less trouble
[02:39] <needhelp> Flannel: I've just upgradet 606 to 610
[02:39] <Flannel> needhelp: Why do you still have a breezy repository in your sources.list then?
[02:39] <OlliW> he's hardcore :)
[02:39] <Pelo> magez,  if you are using feisty start with the restricted driver tool in menu > system > admin(or prefs)
[02:39] <needhelp> Flannel: dunno... is there a simple command to remove it ?
[02:39] <synjet> jhford: yes, untar the 32 and 64 bit FF to diff locations (dont apt install), and then go to those dirs and use ./firefox
[02:39] <jhford> lemme try
[02:39] <Flannel> needhelp: yeah, open up /etc/apt/sources.list and remove it (or comment it out)
[02:40] <OlliW> you can also comment it out in the graphical packetmanager
[02:40] <needhelp> Pelo: that sounds like a lot of work... I havent enough disc space to move the /home directory, except for a NTFS partition....
[02:40] <OlliW> (forgot it's name)
[02:40] <jhford> synjet: nope, i am getting them all as whatever the running firefox is
[02:40] <magez> Pelo: that says: your comp doesnt need those drivers
[02:40] <Flannel> jhford: what version of FF are you using?
[02:41] <Pelo> magez,  as you were then
[02:41] <synjet> flannel: he needs to run 32 and 64 bit FF parallelly
[02:41] <jhford> 2.0.0.3 in 32/64bit flavours and swiftfox-athlon64 2.0.0.3
[02:41] <CVirus> !mp3 > CVirus
[02:41] <Flannel> needhelp: no need.   Just comment out that repository, and ... well, any other odd ones
[02:42] <jhford> well, the real problem is that i want flash and totem-mozilla, but i don't want to hack it out
[02:42] <jhford> but running two firefoxes is easiest

[02:46] <nexous> Maybe I'm wrong: But isn't Samba to allow my linux files to be shared to my windows connection?
[02:47] <jhford> bob111 which one?
[02:47] <NickGarvey> nexous: yup, /msg ubotu samba for more info
[02:47] <Flannel> needhelp: comment that out too.  apparently that repository (which is run by someone else) is down at the moment (or maybe disappeared completely), but.  Commment out that last one too.

[02:48] <bob111> yeah, shows up there

[02:48] <bob111> says that it's using the HAL driver...
[02:48] <Pelo> nexous,  I don'T know I don't use samba myself,  would assume it is  apermission issue
[02:48] <bob111> Same as on the LiveCD, it just doesn't show any networks in network manager.

[02:56] <usser> nexous: u have to do it with sudo
[02:56] <codecaine> np
[02:56] <synjet> faerynatsuki, hmmn, it should be smooth, but there have been reports of things getting messed up.. always backup and proceed (nohing new that I could say) :)
[02:56] <patattack> |Zippo|: Sorry, haven't done it with intel. I'm sure it is easier than ATI was, though
[02:56] <zerotime> hi, anyone with a xfi working under ubuntu?
[02:56] <jhford> well my brothers, i fixed my issues, i just opened the mozilla-mplayer package in file-roller and hacked out the libraries and copied them into my 32bit directory
[02:56] <nexous> usser: I should be able to access via My Network places in windows right?
[02:56] <jhford> zerotime: no one in the world
[02:56] <zerotime> damn, but when!?
[02:56] <|Zippo|> patattack: do you have the same config to 2 monitors + ATI?
[02:57] <synjet> needhelp: oh.. then I guess you should try livecd
[02:57] <ubuntu> hii, i need a little help installing grub, i create a boot partition but is a logical partition, can i install grub on it??
[02:57] <patattack> |Zippo|: I don't use ati any more
[02:57] <|Zippo|> can you send me or past in a query to guide me?
[02:57] <|Zippo|> ahhh ok...
[02:57] <patattack> |Zippo|: went to nvidia
[02:57] <usser> nexous: yep
[02:57] <jhford> zerotime: http://opensource.creative.com/soundcard.html
[02:57] <usser> nexous: but u have to restart samba first
[02:57] <Druntar> what are the differences between feisty and edgy? I'm having some serious issues with feisty and my mouse.
[02:57] <nexous> usser: already have.
[02:57] <zerotime> thx jhford
[02:57] <|Zippo|> i think that it's just put another monitor section at xorg.conf
[02:57] <ubuntu> can i install grub on a logical partition?
[02:58] <crabgrass> how can i fix this?"could not access file /home/dissonance/.ICEauthority : permission denied"
[02:58] <usser> nexous: now u have to be able to have full access to var/www
[02:58] <|Zippo|> and another screen... am I right?
[02:58] <needhelp> I have 900 MB disk free on my linux/gnu partitions and 33GB free on Windows NTFS partition. Is there another way to steal more space from the Windows NTFS partition without formatting it ? gparted dont let me resize the NTFS partition.
[02:58] <nexous> usser: when I go to View workgroup computers, I double click on 'nexous-dev (Nexous-dev)', enter credentials, and then it just keeps asking for credentials.
[02:58] <patattack> |Zippo|: that wouldn't hurt to try, back up xorg.cfg first :-P
[02:58] <CSWookie_> I recently updated ubuntu, and now my sound doesn't work.  alsamixer errors with no such device.
[02:58] <usser> nexous: what do u enter there?
[02:58] <jhford> zerotime: check out a CMedia based board like the Auzentech X-Mystique, it sounds a lot better than the X-Fi, is cheaper and works in linux out of the box
[02:58] <usser> nexous: root
[02:58] <synjet> crabgrass: 1 min, I had similar prob longtime back
[02:58] <usser> nexous: and the password
[02:58] <usser> nexous: right
[02:58] <|Zippo|> patattack: thanks... i'll try
[02:58] <Druntar> that's odd needhelp, I've never had an issue using qparted to resize ntfs
[02:58] <nexous> usser: yes.
[02:58] <mcphail> crabgrass: "sudo chown dissonance:dissonance /home/dissonance/.ICEauthority"
[02:59] <crabgrass> synjet: holding, thanks
[02:59] <Jarekb84> I seem to have pressed something that made the minimize,maximize, close buttons on windows dissapear...what do I do to get them back?
[02:59] <patattack> |Zippo|: I did that a long time ago with an old nvidia riva TNT2, I'm pretty sure that worked.
[02:59] <jhford> what exactly is .ICEauthority
[02:59] <bob111> Hey guys, go figure... I just restarted AGAIN, didn't change a setting and the thing worked!
[02:59] <mcphail> crabgrass: and don't run graphical programs with sudo
[02:59] <synjet> mcphail, you beat me :) crabgrass, yes it was a permission prob
[02:59] <mrrcp> hehe
[02:59] <usser> nexous: hm try adding yourself to smbpasswd
[02:59] <cp> i almost mess up X lol
[02:59] <jhford> bob111: it fixed itself automagically! network manager is an fiddly app
[03:00] <|Zippo|> i'll try
[03:00] <cp> xorg is nasty
[03:00] <nexous> usser: I have added my username to it already...
[03:00] <bob111> It's weird it didn't fix itself the FIRST time I restarted.
[03:00] <crabgrass> mcphail, synjet: i cant run anthing, i can't even log in
[03:00] <synjet> crabgrass: failsafe terminal mode
[03:00] <nexous> usser: 'valud users = nexous root'
[03:00] <nexous> valid*
[03:00] <|Zippo|> nexous: i'm getting the same troubles with nautilus here
[03:00] <mcphail> crabgrass: press "ctrl-alt-f2" and log in there
[03:00] <bob111> Is there a Pidgin package yet?
[03:00] <crabgrass> mcphail: you mean i cant do things like "sudo gparted"?
[03:00] <jhford> bob111: why?  it is one release
[03:00] <TheUni9> Hi
[03:00] <mcphail> crabgrass: no - use gksudo
[03:00] <TheUni9> confidential
[03:00] <usser> nexous: yea but did u do smbpasswd -a nexous
[03:00] <|Zippo|> nexous: if you fix it, please tell me how
[03:00] <fierycleric> !find pidgin
[03:00] <CVirus> !vjava > CVirus
[03:01] <CVirus> !java > CVirus
[03:01] <usser> nexous: i had this same exact problem
[03:01] <CVirus> oops
[03:01] <cp> ooOO  sopranos
[03:01] <ubotu> Package/file pidgin does not exist in feisty
[03:01] <nexous> usser: I did smbpasswd -a nexous and smbpasswd -a root
[03:01] <hellbound1> damn I'm gettin' good and quick with ubuntu
[03:01] <synjet> !gksudo?crabgrass
[03:01] <needhelp> Druntar: gparted. First I unmounted the NTFS partition. Then when rightclicking, the only options available are Delete, Format and Information. Resize option is an gray and inactive option. The NTFS is the primary and boot partition and has a yellow exclamation mark ("!") to the left of the partition icon
[03:01] <bob111> Just wondering because I know it's an upgrade from gaim, just not sure if it's any good.
[03:01] <mike__> is anyeone else having a problem locking their screen with fiesty?
[03:01] <synjet> !gksudo>crabgrass
[03:01] <jhford> bob111: pidgin is just GAIM 2.0 Beta7
[03:01] <cp> !xconf
[03:01] <bob111> Oh.
[03:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xconf - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:01] <cp> hrm
[03:01] <bob111> Well, I guess my next job is Automatix and then I should be set to go.
[03:01] <nexous> usser: want me to display my smb.conf file?
[03:01] <usser> nexous: hm ok, backup your /etc/samba/smb.conf file
[03:01] <bob111> Not sure if I'm going to go with KDE or not.
[03:01] <jhford> bob111: NOOOOO
[03:01] <jhford> automatix is the devil
[03:01] <crabgrass> synjet: oh wow, never knew that. thanks
[03:01] <usser> nexous: nexous yea
[03:01] <bob111> Really?
[03:02] <usser> nexous: pastebin it
[03:02] <RAOF> !automatix > bob111
[03:02] <synjet> bob111: try easyubuntu
[03:02] <nexous> usser: okay.
[03:02] <jhford> bob111: it is horible, don't use any of those crap scripts
[03:02] <bob111> Oh, haha.
[03:02] <crabgrass> synjet: but is there a way to get my .ICEauthority back to the way it used to be?
[03:02] <bob111> Okay, okay, okay.
[03:02] <jhford> bob111: what do you want to use it for
[03:02] <crabgrass> synjet: so i can log in?>
[03:02] <bob111> I'll go easy ubuntu :P
[03:02] <jhford> bob111: easy ubunutu is just as bad
[03:02] <bob111> Um... Flash, Java, codecs.
[03:02] <usser> nexous: i remember my pblem was that i used gui to setup smb first and it kept messing up
[03:02] <mcphail> crabgrass: i told you how, above
[03:02] <jhford> bob111: those are simple
[03:02] <zerotime> dont use that, find the appropiate sources for apt
[03:02] <usser> nexous: then i just did it by hand and everything worked
[03:02] <zerotime> the install
[03:02] <nexous> usser: I also did that already.
[03:02] <ubuntu> hii, i need a little help, i'm installing ubuntu right now, windows cracches my old ubuntu
[03:02] <zerotime> its easy
[03:02] <jhford> without automatix
[03:02] <synjet> crabgrass: everything is same, just type the command that mcphail asked to.. that should fix
[03:02] <ubuntu> can i install grub on a logical partition???
[03:02] <bob111> It worked well for my last time but it was a mess.
[03:03] <bob111> You're right, it was a mess.
[03:03] <crabgrass> mcphail: ctrl-alt-f2, thene log in. got that. i want xfce back, though.
[03:03] <jhford> bob111: they are garbage.  make sure you have all the repositories enabled in synaptic, then search for flash non-free, sun-java6
[03:03] <mcphail> crabgrass: "sudo chown dissonance:dissonance /home/dissonance/.ICEauthority"
[03:03] <bob111> Alright, well... I'm going to make a list of things and then maybe someone can help me out with some...
[03:03] <crabgrass> mcphail: one sec.
[03:03] <bob111> Okay, I'll give that a go.
[03:03] <zerotime> automatix seems to work, but later on, when you need an update or now what u got installed it really meses it all up
[03:03] <bob111> I've been out of the loop for a while... I got sucked into Vista.
[03:03] <nexous> usser: http://www.pastebin.ca/476360
[03:04] <jhford> bob111: also, install gstreamer0.10 good bad ugly including multiverse versions
[03:04] <mcphail> crabgrass: then "chmod 600 /home/dissonance/.ICEauthority"
[03:04] <zerotime> jhford, any web site to check linux compatible hardware?
[03:04] <jhford> bob111 also install the xine/libxine ffmpeg plugin, and get a real media player (VLC/Mplayer)
[03:05] <bob111> Yeah, I always get VLC.
[03:05] <RAOF> jhford: My Totem objects to that :P
[03:05] <jhford> zerotime: tons, but they are no good from my experience
[03:05] <bob111> I also always have the problem integrating VLC with firefox for streams.
[03:05] <jhford> RAOF:  haha,  well my totem shifts all the colors!
[03:05] <crabgrass> mcphail: didn't work, same error
[03:05] <jhford> bob111: mozilla-mplayer
[03:05] <bob111> I hate to ask this jhford, but can you type all the things you told me to get in a pvt message?
[03:06] <jhford> yah sure
[03:06] <jhford> msg me
[03:06] <usser> nexous: ah there we go
[03:06] <usser> nexous: invalid users = root
[03:06] <bob111> Because right now I'm reloading package info
[03:06] <usser> nexous: comment it out
[03:06] <mcphail> crabgrass: what is the output from "ls -l /home/dissonance/.ICEauthority"?
[03:06] <nexous> usser: okay.
[03:07] <nexous> usser: woot! in the system we are :-p
[03:07] <usser> nexous: congrats
[03:07] <usser> nexous: =)
[03:07] <mike__> is anyeone else having a problem locking their screen with fiesty?
[03:07] <cozby> hey, I just installed ubuntu-server and this is completely foreign to me coming from fbsd... I'm trying to install x and I have no idea whats going on
[03:07] <usser> nexous: is it a work computer?
[03:08] <usser> nexous: or a home one?
[03:08] <bob111> There, PMed.
[03:08] <crabgrass> mcphail: ls: /home/dissonance/.ICEauthority: Permission Denied
[03:08] <cozby> I ran sudo apt-get install x11-common and I guess it downloaded it..?
[03:08] <usser> nexous: cause its still not safe
[03:08] <mcphail> crabgrass: "ls -l /home/dissonance"
[03:08] <nexous> usser: ehhh, more like a home devstation.
[03:08] <crabgrass> mcphail: k
[03:08] <cozby> also how does one view available packages.. I use apt-cache search <whatever> buuut I dont see my package (xfce)?
[03:08] <synjet> cozby: after installing xserver, gdm.. "startx" command  should get you going
[03:08] <usser> nexous: what i'd is change permissions on var/www to include your local nexous user and then try to use this instead of root
[03:09] <cozby> synjet: gdm?
[03:09] <usser> nexous: cause enabling root in samba is not entirely safe
[03:09] <nexous> usser: okay.
[03:09] <crabgrass> mcphail: oh shit... everything has ????'s where the permissions should be
[03:09] <usser> nexous: try to sudo chown /var/www
[03:09] <jvai> hey ty ppls.. enjoi the wathr
[03:09] <synjet> cozby: gnome desktop manager
[03:09] <mcphail> crabgrass: paste the line
[03:09] <bob111> The apt servers are sooooo slow, haha.
[03:09] <cozby> synjet: I'm trying to find xfce, but no cigar?
[03:09] <cozby> might you know what the package is called?
[03:09] <crabgrass> mcphail: which one?
[03:10] <^punisher> Hi
[03:10] <mcphail> crabgrass: "ls -l /home/dissonance"
[03:10] <Frizz0> Hi
[03:10] <crabgrass> mcphail: btw i'm on a second computer right now
[03:10] <jhford> bob111: still there?
[03:10] <synjet> cozby: sudo apt-get install xserver xubuntu-desktop
[03:10] <crabgrass> mcphail: i'll take a picture of it
[03:10] <nexous> usser: hold on, renaming the folder real quick.
[03:10] <usser> nexous: k
[03:10] <bob111> Yeah
[03:10] <bob111> I am
[03:10] <cozby> synjet: i'll give that a twirl thx
[03:10] <bob111> jhford: whenever you are ready
[03:10] <jhford> bob111: i have written a little script for you
[03:10] <synjet> cozby: ok, let me know if that works (it should)
[03:10] <Frizz0> out of interest
[03:10] <bob111> Okay?
[03:10] <^punisher> secret
[03:11] <mrgxr> is anyeone else having a problem locking their screen with fiesty?
[03:11] <jhford> bob111: msg me, i can't msg you
[03:11] <nexous> usser: what am i missing in the command
[03:11] <RAOF> mrgxr: No, not I
[03:11] <synjet> mrgxr: I have heard from *some*, though a minority.. not me
[03:11] <nexous> do i run nexous or root after command
[03:11] <bob111> jhford: I have messaged you, I dunno, I'm using GAIM right now until I get xchat.
[03:11] <bob111> Do you have MSN? That might work out easier...
[03:11] <usser> nexous: sudo chown nexous:nexous /var/www
[03:11] <jhford> yah
[03:11] <cozby> synjet: err.. it says the package xserver is not available, package is missing or obsolete or avail from another source...
[03:12] <nexous> usser: no backslash after www?
[03:12] <cozby> synjet: i guess the default apt source they got sucks
[03:12] <magez> drivers works \o/ thanks
[03:12] <mrgxr> because the hotkeys wont lock for me and when i try to use the power button it gives me an error
[03:12] <usser> nexous: should work without it
[03:12] <nexous> usser:okay, now what?
[03:12] <cozby> synjet: I ran update prior to anything also... should I edit the source.list file with a better server?
[03:12] <bob111> jhford: Join #bobhelp
[03:12] <usser> nexous: great now go ahead and disable root again in smb.conf
[03:13] <crabgrass> mcphail: uploading
[03:13] <synjet> cozby: no. the default ones are pretty good.. just try xfce-desktop.. I guess it would pull the relevant xserver packages
[03:13] <usser> nexous: make invalid user again
[03:13] <usser> nexous: and try to login using your credentials
[03:13] <nexous> usser: okay, now will i just login with username nexous?
[03:13] <usser> nexous: supposedly
[03:13] <crabgrass> mcphail: http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i72/dissonance_ms/DSC00162.jpg
[03:13] <nexous> usser: okay, test 2.
[03:13] <jsoto> my sound card is not working propertly, i can't record from my microphone, some body??
[03:13] <Shaba1> Hello folks
[03:13] <ztomic> Feisty is cool as heck!
[03:13] <cozby> kk
[03:13] <mcphail> cozby: you trying to install xfce?
[03:13] <cozby> mcphail: yah man
[03:14] <mcphail> cozby: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[03:14] <Shaba1> I have a unbuntu live cd that I want to install on a ntfs drive that is going to get a NEW windows installation
[03:14] <usser> ztomic: u bet ;)
[03:14] <cozby> to be honest i've heard nothing but praise for ubuntu, but this is more painful than setting up netbsd
[03:14] <nexous> usser: Now I'm getting \\Nexous-dev is not accessible. on my windows machine. It doesn't even ask for credentials.
[03:14] <Shaba1> should I install windows from cd first
[03:14] <mcphail> cozby: that is a meta-package which should pull in everthing you need
[03:14] <Shaba1> or install ubuntu first
[03:14] <hou5ton> with 7.04, can one safely "save" files to ntfs?
[03:14] <synjet> cozby, it is only the GUI part for the server..
[03:15] <theconartist> Shaba1, windows first is usually the most hastle-free way
[03:15] <usser> nexous: bah windows have a sick habbit of saving your last worked credentials for u
[03:15] <RAOF> hou5ton: Almost
[03:15] <usser> nexous: so it still tries root
[03:15] <sripple0502> how do i run the make uninstall command
[03:15] <nexous> usser: reboot? or do i reset cache or something?
[03:15] <pheaver> can someone help me with nfs?  It was working fine, but after I switched the client computer from gentoo to ubuntu, it just freezes when I try to mount
[03:15] <nvc> usser bah lol
[03:15] <usser> nexous: frankly i dont know the other way to make it stop other than restarting
[03:15] <Flannel> cozby: the other solution is to download a CD with a GUI on it, and then add whatever server stuff you'd like
[03:15] <Shaba1> I have already repartiioned the HD from the live cd using gparted from 37gb to 26gb ntfs/11gb unallocated
[03:15] <hou5ton> RAOF: :-) .... well ... in other words, .. NO?
[03:15] <cozby> Flannel: yeah I guess I could do that...
[03:15] <usser> nvc: what?
[03:15] <nexous> usser: okay, well if I have any trouble, I'll be back, if not, I won't, Thanks for your help though.
[03:16] <nvc> usser are u gaucho kkk
[03:16] <cozby> I thought the server version would be that.
[03:16] <Flannel> sripple0502: just like that, provided your makefile has a remove command.
[03:16] <synjet> cozby, then try xubuntu (though xubuntu-desktop should work fine)
[03:16] <ward_> how do i know wich IO-port is my serial port? its com1 in windows
[03:16] <sripple0502> ok thanks
[03:16] <usser> nvc: gaucho?
[03:16] <RAOF> hou5ton: Check out !ntfs-config.  It uses ntfs-3g, which is pretty safe (as in, no-one has reported data loss)
[03:16] <axl000> whats the difference between gtk and metacity?
[03:16] <crabgrass> mcphail: should i just chown and chmod -R my ~/ ?
[03:16] <Flannel> cozby: Well, the server version is just a normal install, sans GUI stuff.
[03:16] <nvc> usser forget...
[03:16] <cozby> ah
[03:16] <pheaver> axl000: they're completely different :)
[03:16] <preaction> axl000: gtk is a gui toolkit, metacity is a window manager
[03:16] <usser> nvc: forget what?
[03:16] <synjet> axl000: gtk is the engine behind gnome.. metacity is the window manager
[03:16] <Flannel> cozby: really, the only difference (in any "version") is just the default choice of installed packages
[03:17] <sripple0502> it says make comand not found...???
[03:17] <Safrole> I'm trying to install a latex plugin for pidgin called ugha!, here is the following problem when I run make http://pastebin.ca/476378
[03:17] <mcphail> crabgrass: what are the permissions just now?
[03:17] <usser> nvc: did u say something lol :)
[03:17] <nvc> usser kkkkkkk
[03:17] <jsoto> some body, knows how can i record from my mic??
[03:17] <crabgrass> mcphail: now? looks like the permissions are ??????
[03:17] <cozby> Flannel: so I could have just installed Ubuntu desktop and throw on some server packages and thats it.
[03:17] <ward_> how do i know wich IO-port is my serial port? its com1 in windows
[03:17] <Flannel> cozby: yep.  ubuntu, or kubuntu, or xubuntu.  And then add whatever daemons you want.
[03:17] <cozby> or xubuntu whatever
[03:17] <axl000> ubuntu uses gtk2?
[03:18] <halpern> Does anyone know what can play mss: in ubuntu?
[03:18] <halpern> i can't seem to be able to watch videos from channel9.msdn.com
[03:18] <synjet> halpern: vlc plays mms
[03:18] <nvc> halpern play patience kkk
[03:18] <hellbound1> I'm getting really damn good with desktop ubuntu damn this OS is a hella more fun then shitty microsoft
[03:18] <crabgrass> !permissions > crabgrass
[03:18] <hou5ton> RAOF: I haven't installed Ubuntu yet ... want to make sure it can work off of my NTFS partition ... so .. i guess the ntfs-config is part of the options with 7.04?
[03:18] <Flannel> Safrole: Pidgin isn't supported in this channel, you might ask in the pidgin channel
[03:18] <hellbound1> atleast I've got a challenge with attempting to figure it out
[03:18] <axl000> im searching for gnome themes, and there are gtk2 themes, and metacity themes
[03:18] <synjet> !multimedia > halpern
[03:18] <mcphail> cozby: many people choose not to run X on a server, hence the separate disk. But server disk plus "apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" will give you X with XFCE
[03:18] <axl000> im confuse
[03:18] <Safrole> Flannel: They told me that ugha! isn't supported in their channel either
[03:18] <Safrole> This is like a giant cluster fuck
[03:19] <sripple0502> it says make comand not found...???  any help?
[03:19] <Flannel> Safrole: Well, Pidgin isn't even in ubuntu.
[03:19] <RAOF> hou5ton: Yes.  And if by "work off of my NTFS partition" you mean "I can install it to my NTFS partition", then you'd be wrong.
[03:19] <Flannel> sripple0502: Did you remove the source stuff already?
[03:19] <Safrole> Define "even in" ubuntu
[03:19] <hou5ton> RA
[03:19] <Flannel> Safrole: Pidgin is not in the repositories, therefore isn't supported.
[03:19] <sripple0502> no im trying to install ndiswrapper and its giving me problems
[03:19] <atarinox> how do they have gaim in feisty? i thought they had to change it
[03:19] <scot524> I have a 60 mb USB external drive and wish to use with Ubuntu operating systems only. Currently, the drive is using the NTFS file system, but I would like to repartition and format it. Is ext3 the correct choice?
[03:19] <Shaba1> xubuntu was the only way I could get linux on my laptop
[03:19] <sripple0502> what do you mean delete the source stuff?
[03:19] <hou5ton> RAOF: no ... just meant being able to open files in My Documents, change them, and then save them back.
[03:19] <Shaba1> unless I wanted to try DSL
[03:19] <cozby> mcphail: yeah, no need to run X on a server.. I just thought what the hell, I'll give ubuntu a spin with a GUI
[03:19] <RAOF> hou5ton: In that case.  Yes. :)
[03:20] <ward_> how do i know wich IO-port is my serial port? its com1 in windows
[03:20] <Flannel> sripple0502: After compiling whatever program you installed, did you remove the source? or whats the case?
[03:20] <mcphail> cozby: adding the gui is pretty painless :)
[03:20] <Flannel> usser: Because its GAIM beta 6.  It was still called GAIM at thta point.
[03:20] <sripple0502> im a noob i know but i havent installed it yet ive only unpacked it from the tar.gz  i havent removed the tar file if thats what your asking...thanks for your help
[03:20] <crabgrass> anyone know what a bunch of ????? where my permissions should be means?
[03:21] <synjet> scot524: ntfs is better (so that you can switch b/w other comps)... but if ubuntu-only-use, then ya ext3
[03:21] <Flannel> sripple0502: if you havent installed it, why are you trying to remove it?
[03:21] <sripple0502> thats what the directions say
[03:21] <Flannel> sripple0502: what are you trying to install anyway?
[03:21] <sripple0502> kinda weird i thought of it too
[03:21] <sripple0502> but i cant issue a make command is there a reason why?
[03:21] <openminddj> Can someone assist me with the package manager.  When I go to update I have three failed repos and have no idea why
[03:21] <scot524> synjet: ubuntu use only --- I am going with ext3, thx!
[03:21] <usser> sripple0502: did u do ./configure?
[03:22] <Flannel> openminddj: which repositories
[03:22] <sripple0502> no whats that do?
[03:22] <Flannel> sripple0502: what are you trying to install?
[03:22] <cac__> hi room
[03:22] <usser> sripple0502: that configures the package before make
[03:22] <XmagicX> hi

[03:22] <Flannel> sripple0502: follow that guide.  Ndiswrapper is already available in a repository, there's no need to compile it

[03:23] <karlito> Hi. I got a computer running with ubuntu-server 6.06, I try to set a static ip by editing /etc/network/interfaces and end up not able to communicate with the other computer is connect to. any idea ?
[03:23] <SpiderDan> hello!  I'm having a couple problems with 7.04... first one is, I can't get display to set to 1280x1024.  I've modified the Screen portion of /etc/X11/xorg.conf to include "1280x1024" for all 6 display subsections...
[03:23] <sripple0502> ohh thanks flannel
[03:23] <sripple0502> big help
[03:23] <openminddj> Flannel: Whoops, not quite one line
[03:23] <crabgrass> mcphail: anything?
[03:23] <SpiderDan> but it still only offers 1024x768 in the Screen Resolution dialog
[03:23] <sripple0502> how do i scroll up in irssi?
[03:23] <Flannel> openminddj: er... pastebin your sources.list
[03:24] <mcphail> crabgrass: you were going to show me a screenshot
[03:24] <Flannel> sripple0502: pageup
[03:24] <bimberi> sripple0502: PageUp key
[03:24] <crabgrass> http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i72/dissonance_ms/DSC00162.jpg
[03:24] <openminddj> where is sources.list?  Im new to ubuntu
[03:24] <synjet> karlito: doesnt allow ssh-ing into the server?
[03:24] <Flannel> openminddj: /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:24] <Flannel> !paste | openminddj
[03:24] <ubotu> openminddj: 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)
[03:25] <bobstro> crabgrass:  i did that to my system recently.
[03:25] <mcphail> crabgrass: "ls -l /home"?
[03:26] <usser> nvc: wth im not gaucho
[03:26] <nvc> haha
[03:26] <jhford> well, goodnight everyone
[03:26] <karlito> synjet the server can take inbound tranmission if it dhcp the client, but not initialize a outbound transmission from the server
[03:26] <mcphail> crabgrass: and tell me the details of the "dissonance" line
[03:26] <bobstro> crabgrass:  sorry i'm coming in late. do you mount ext2/3 under windows?
[03:26] <usser> nvc: heh
[03:26] <karlito> maybey the gateway... is not set properly ? or the route table ?
[03:26] <o1> ooook
[03:26] <usser> read wiki page
[03:26] <o1> good evening
[03:27] <o1> havnig a problem
[03:27] <synjet> karlito: oh, the net seems to be down on  the server but still properly functions as a server (allowing inbound requests).. right?
[03:27] <o1> is there a line?
[03:27] <usser> bobstro: u can ext2 at least
[03:27] <karlito> yes right :)
[03:27] <openminddj> Flannel: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19722/
[03:27] <SpiderDan> any suggestions on why the Screen Resolution dialog only offers up to 1024x768 when /etc/X11/xorg.conf has 1280x1024 as an option for all display subsections?
[03:27] <bobstro> usser:  yes, trying to figure out if that's what is causing crabgrass problems.
[03:27] <usser> bobstro: oh
[03:27] <crabgrass> bobstro: how'd you fix it?
[03:27] <openminddj> SpiderDan: Do you have your monitor type included in xorg.conf or does it display the generic monitor type?
[03:28] <RAOF> Spider-Dan: pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log - that will probably tell you (or us) why Xorg doesn't think 1280x1024 is a valid resolution
[03:28] <crabgrass> mcphail: it's "ls -l /home/dissonance"
[03:28] <bobstro> crabgrass:  well i didn't fix it, but if figured out why it was happening. not sure if it'd apply to your case though.
[03:28] <RAOF> SpiderDan: Also, pastebin your xorg.conf while you're at it :)
[03:28] <bobstro> crabgrass:  so i *avoid* it now.
[03:28] <crabgrass> bobstro: and no, i didn't try to mount anything
[03:28] <SpiderDan> monitor is set to generic monitor type currently
[03:28] <mcphail> crabgrass: yes, but i want to know "ls -l /home"
[03:28] <halpern> the mms: link is trying to open Totem by default
[03:28] <Flannel> openminddj: er... that's how it looks in the file?
[03:28] <SpiderDan> I will pastebin both files
[03:28] <sgtmattbaker> does anyone know why the hostname of my Ubuntu install is sabayonlinux-28 ?
[03:28] <sgtmattbaker> can I change that
[03:28] <o1> I just installed Ubuntu 7.04, after the long install it asks to restart, to which I say OK, and then it asks me to remove the cd from the drive and press enter, I do so, yet it does nt continue
[03:28] <NickGarvey> sgtmattbaker: um..
[03:28] <bobstro> crabgrass:  ok, it may not be related then.
[03:28] <NickGarvey> sgtmattbaker: you are running ubuntu?
[03:28] <Flannel> openminddj: the stuff at the bottom has those long lines like that?
[03:28] <usser> sgtmattbaker: are u sure u on ubuntu
[03:29] <synjet> karlito: did you cross check the network file with proper gateway , netmask etc?
[03:29] <bobstro> crabgrass:  and have you run fsck on that volume?
[03:29] <o1> so I hard reboot it, the boot menu comes up and no matter the choice I make in the menu, the screen turns off after it says ignite
[03:29] <sgtmattbaker> NickGarvey: yes.. but my name as seen on a network is sabayonlinux-28.. can I change that
[03:29] <neonimr> how can i read a flash drive
[03:29] <neonimr> ?
[03:29] <openminddj> Flannel: yes, that was a straight copt and paste
[03:29] <usser> neonimr: plug it in
[03:29] <usser> neonimr: a dialog should pop up
[03:29] <neonimr> i did
[03:29] <RAOF> sgtmattbaker: System->Administration->Network->General->Host Name
[03:29] <Arry> I'm trying to build 'alsa-utils-1.0.14rc4' and I get this message : mv: cannot stat `t-ja.gmo': No such file or directory make[2] : *** [ja.gmo]  Error 1, anybody know what I should do?
[03:29] <Flannel> openminddj: odd.  Well, that explains why.  This is all screwed up.
[03:29] <neonimr> i mean the command way
[03:30] <crabgrass> mcphail: 1 sec
[03:30] <o1> so can anyone help me?
[03:30] <o1> I'm running from the Live CD atm
[03:30] <crabgrass> bobstro: no, i haven't, i dont even know how. should i?
[03:30] <Kewlb> how do you turn off reverse dns lookup on openssh?
[03:30] <sgtmattbaker> can I change the name that my PC is identified on the network as?
[03:30] <SpiderDan> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19724 is xorg.conf
[03:30] <antoniuk> I have some more questions about shell login files in ubuntu.  If BASH is set as a users shell when a user logs on /etc/profile is parsed. However I cannot find a coresponding file for TCSH.  I would have epected /etc/csh.login to be parsed, but it is not.  Does anyone know what is going on with this?
[03:30] <neonimr> i mean the command way
[03:30] <neonimr> hello
[03:30] <Kewlb> taking 1-2 mins to ssh into my ubuntu serrver
[03:31] <openminddj> Flannel: I bet this happened when I was checking and unchecking options in my package manager.  I was only choosing different sources, but when i put them back, i was left with the errors.  I believe this is a bug
[03:31] <bimberi> eddmul: well done :)
[03:31] <NickGarvey> sgtmattbaker: /etc/hostname is where it should be set, the GUI way should work too
[03:31] <kiltedbrandon> I have a question about dd when someone gets a chance please
[03:31] <Jarekb84> how can I edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf? Can't save my changes
[03:31] <bobstro> crabgrass:  perhaps. in my case, it was a non-root volume. fsck "cleaned up" those entries, but nothing was really salvageable.
[03:31] <bobstro> kiltedbrandon:  best just to ask away!
[03:31] <eddmul> thank you bimberi
[03:32] <openminddj> Flannel: Are you able to provide the default sources.list file per chance?
[03:32] <Catoptromancy> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19713/
[03:32] <o1> when someone gets a chance, I'd like to get my Linux experience started
[03:32] <crabgrass> bobstro: wait, cleaned up? as in got rid of?
[03:32] <synjet> karlito: just check your /etc/network/interfaces or via network-manager, the details.. I had some trouble getting it to normal from where you are
[03:32] <Catoptromancy> Anyone know how to get ALSA on the right port
[03:32] <Catoptromancy> and remove a few timidities
[03:32] <antoniuk> Anyone on my issue with parsing /etc/csh.login at login?
[03:32] <kiltedbrandon> great -- I'm trying to get an image of the first 80G of /dev/hdb2 onto ~/Desktop/first.image
[03:32] <superkirbyartist> Hey people, I'm trying to load a DVD.
[03:32] <usser> Mutal1ty: click on install button and off u go
[03:32] <SpiderDan> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19725 is Xorg.0.log
[03:32] <sgtmattbaker> how can I change the name my PC is being seen as on the network?
[03:32] <kiltedbrandon> then the same thing with the second half
[03:32] <Mutal1ty> I did
[03:33] <Flannel> openminddj: yeah, thats what it looks like.  Uh, file a bug about it (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+filebug) and include that sources.list with it (and instructions on what you did)
[03:33] <Mutal1ty> it installs, then reboots and gives me the menu
[03:33] <superkirbyartist> I want to load a DVD without proprietary software.
[03:33] <bobstro> crabgrass:  yep. they all wound up with random names in the lost&found directory, and it wasn't worth the time trying to figure which was which. you can find the entries there if it *is* something important.
[03:33] <bimberi> !upgrade | eddmul
[03:33] <ubotu> eddmul: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[03:33] <kiltedbrandon> I need to do this to use foremost to recover lost files
[03:33] <bobstro> crabgrass:  don't give up yet, somebody may have a clever fix, but i never found one.
[03:33] <Mutal1ty> no matter the choice I make, it starts the ignite then the monitor goes to sleep mode
[03:33] <Ranbee> hi, is it normal to have exim4 running? i have it in the results of this - sudo lsof -i
[03:33] <Flannel> openminddj: so, right now copy that sources.list down somewhere, since we'll be fixing it right now so you can have a wokring system.
[03:33] <Mutal1ty> and it does nothing
[03:33] <cables> Anyone can create a GPG key on a keyserver under any name... how do I know which one is legitimate?
[03:33] <crabgrass> mcphail: ls -ll /home returns "drw-r--r--  53  dissonance dissonance  4096 2007-05-07 dissonance
[03:33] <biggahed> hello there... can anyone help me configure my svideo to work with my tv? cant find anything that works
[03:33] <sc0tch> Anyone have recommendations on a lightweight editor with syntax hightlighting? I've been using Jed, but it doesn't play well with console in xfce.
[03:34] <crabgrass> bobstro: yeah, it's all my music, movies and photos. fairly important
[03:34] <openminddj> Flannel: in the process of doing just that.  How can i fix this in the mean time?
[03:34] <synjet> sc0tch: anjuta?
[03:34] <antoniuk> Anybody on what files ubuntu sources on login when using tcsh?
[03:34] <openminddj> Flannel: will do
[03:34] <Mutal1ty> I suspect it has no xwindow settings for resolution or something
[03:34] <preaction> cables: you have to have access to the server to put a GPG key on it, so you can probably assume the ones from the official repos are just fine and dandy
[03:34] <needhelp> sc0tch: gvim
[03:34] <Mutal1ty> but I'm not sure
[03:34] <bobstro> kiltedbrandon:  you might check out some of the forensics pages. lots of tools for that sort of thing, but not my area.
[03:34] <bobstro> crabgrass:  any backup?
[03:34] <Arry> what's ja.gmo, and where do I find it?
[03:34] <sgtmattbaker> how do I change my hostname (regarding to this PC's name on a network)
[03:34] <Flannel> openminddj: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19726/
[03:34] <kiltedbrandon> would they be on this server?
[03:34] <halpern> any idea how to change the default mms: tool (totem) to another one?
[03:34] <usser> sgtmattbaker: aha hsync out of range =)
[03:34] <cables> preaction, what do you mean? When I generated my key, I clicked sync and it uploaded it to Ubuntu's keyserver. I could have put any name in.
[03:34] <crabgrass> mcphail: and "drwxr-xrwx   2  root        root    16384   2007-04-27 12:30 lost+found"
[03:35] <crabgrass> bobstro: some of it
[03:35] <kiltedbrandon> I thikn I can run foremost after I create the image.  dd is confusing though
[03:35] <karlito> synjet: iface eth0 inet static - address 192.168.2.2 - netmask 255.255.255.0 - gateway 192.168.2.1 (one element per line)
[03:35] <usser> sgtmattbaker: for 1280x1024 mode
[03:35] <Flannel> openminddj: replace your sources.list with that one.  You might need to re-start your editor with sudo (gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list)
[03:35] <cables> preaction, I don't mean repo keys, I mean gpg keys for personal email signing and stuff
[03:35] <Ranbee> can some run this command and tell if they have exim4 in the output? sudo lsof -i
[03:35] <bobstro> kiltedbrandon:  try searching on "forensics toolkit" and such perhaps. not aware of anything ubuntu-specific.
[03:35] <kiltedbrandon> thanks
[03:35] <bobstro> kiltedbrandon:  now, you're not after something like a norton ghost, right?
[03:35] <kiltedbrandon> no
[03:35] <Mutal1ty> what is the console command from a console boot to set the resolution in gnome, and then start it?
[03:35] <loco_aullador> Hello, anyone knows a good book about linux? not only for novices but for all levels, something like the linux bible lol
[03:35] <mcphail> crabgrass: hmm - try chmod u+x /home/dissonance
[03:36] <superkirbyartist> People?
[03:36] <kiltedbrandon> I'm building this box because my mom hosed her drive and wants to get some jpegs off the old drice
[03:36] <GrueTamer> brb
[03:36] <superkirbyartist> I want to watch a DVD.
[03:36] <Flannel> loco_aullador: check out the official Ubuntu book.
[03:36] <preaction> cables: oh, then you're correct. there are "key-signing" parties, where people with GPG keys bring identification to other people and they both sign off that their key is actually the person. social-networking for verification, i guess
[03:36] <bobstro> crabgrass:  if you have no better luck, and everything does wind up in lost&found, the "file" command can help you identify what is in various files. the names (e.g. .mp3) will be gone.
[03:36] <kiltedbrandon> foremost will read a dd image but not /dev/hdx
[03:36] <skrubbles> hi everyone... managed to get Ubuntu installed on this ol' computer  YAY
[03:36] <cables> preaction, okay, but where on the keyserver can I find out if a key has been signed?
[03:36] <Mutal1ty> I haven't
[03:36] <crabgrass> bobstro: i just cd'd to lost+found, and it's empty
[03:36] <loco_aullador> Flannel,  im thinking in a general linux book not only for a specific distribution
[03:36] <RAOF> SpiderDan: Ok, so the "ati" driver is seeing "1280x1024", and saying "that's an invalid mode".
[03:36] <synjet> karlito: maybe it is the netmask.. I would suggest cross-checking that with your admin/ISP.. sorry, not quite helpful
[03:36] <Mutal1ty> noone seems to be available to help
[03:36] <bobstro> crabgrass:  yes, but it won't be after the fsck.
[03:37] <crabgrass> bobstro: ah
[03:37] <bobstro> crabgrass:  think of it as "chkdsk for  linux"
[03:37] <sgtmattbaker> usser: what are you talking about?!
[03:37] <crabgrass> mcphail: alright, trying
[03:37] <SpiderDan> ok
[03:37] <usser> sgtmattbaker: sorry wasnt for u
[03:37] <RAOF> SpiderDan: As to *why* it's doing that, I don't know.  Try asking crdlb, maybe in #ubuntu-effects
[03:37] <superkirbyartist> Peoples?
[03:37] <eddmul> Hi guys, can you help me how to upgrade from Edgy to Feisty? Because I always got error message when upgrade from update manager.
[03:37] <karlito> still thank synjet. the most strange is that my IMA
[03:37] <bobstro> kiltedbrandon:  may i ask why you want it split? to process each part separately?
[03:37] <superkirbyartist> Eddmul?
[03:37] <superkirbyartist> Yes
[03:37] <crabgrass> mcphail: operation not permitted... should i sudo it?
[03:37] <needhelp> eddmul: try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[03:37] <eddmul> Yessuperkirbyartist
[03:37] <mcphail> crabgrass: ok
[03:37] <superkirbyartist> Eddmul, Alt+F2, run "sudo update-manager -d"
[03:37] <GuyFromHell> Can someone tell me what is wrong with my xorg.conf for a MergedFB radeon setup: http://rafb.net/p/M05Xkl22.html
[03:37] <preaction> cables: http://www.la-samhna.de/library/PGPSignatures.html <- look for "verifying the owner of a pgp key", it's called "Certifying" i guess
[03:38] <usser> SpiderDan: it says in xorg.log that hsync out of range something something
[03:38] <crabgrass> mcphail: i'll take that as a yes
[03:38] <openminddj> Flannel: Thanks! This worked wonders! Do you find it odd that my system is "up to date?"  I probably havent downloaded an update in about a week because of the messed up sources.list file i had
[03:38] <superkirbyartist> Now if anyone helps me play a DVD it could be nice.
[03:38] <cables> preaction, ok
[03:38] <RAOF> usser: That's for a bunch of other, non 1280x1024 resolutions.
[03:38] <SpiderDan> RAOF: thanks.  I was using fglrx driver in edgy and I was able to get 1280x1024, maybe the open source driver can't handle it
[03:38] <kiltedbrandon> bobsrto: the source and destination drives are both 160 GB.  Since the source was a fragmented FAT32, I dont know that the files are not all over the place
[03:38] <bobstro> crabgrass:  i'm going to monitor this in case it bites me again. good luck sir!
[03:38] <karlito> still thank synjet. the most strange is that my IMAC can connect to the client, where my server cannot, so it is not a hardware problem... I will a little more research
[03:38] <usser> RAOF: i think for 1280x1024 too
[03:38] <synjet> superkirbyartist: libdvdcss is in multimedia packages (restr)
[03:39] <GuyFromHell> It's the weirdest thing right now, half of a monitor is on the other monitor and then it extends for the other half of the monitor. I'd have difficulty believing this had i not done it...
[03:39] <kiltedbrandon> hence I'd like to split into 2 80G files for a slight bit of optimization
[03:39] <neonimr> i seem to have the forcedeth module but it doesnt load
[03:39] <superkirbyartist> Synjet: Open source?
[03:39] <synjet> karlito: I know, I had the "exact" prob..
[03:39] <bobstro> kiltedbrandon:  you may be about to learn some job skills. there are definitely forensics tools for finding jpg images on drives!
[03:39] <RAOF> usser: You'll notice it also says that for "1024x768", which is what he's using :)
[03:39] <synjet>  !multimedia > superkirbyartist
[03:39] <eddmul> Superkirbyartist, have try VLC Media Player?
[03:39] <crabgrass> mcphail: chmod u+x /home/dissonance did nothing, it's still all ????'s
[03:39] <skrubbles> is there a way to get Ubuntu allow me to have 1920x1200 as my resolution?  I'm only able to choose 1280x1024... I have an ati radeon 9000 in this old thing
[03:39] <usser> RAOF: oh yea
[03:40] <bobstro> skrubbles:  it should be doable, yes.
[03:40] <RAOF> !resolution > skrubbles
[03:40] <sgtmattbaker> I looked at /etc/hostname and it says bill.. but ssh says that isn't a valid service.. ?
[03:40] <mcphail> crabgrass: ok, try "sudo chmod 770 /home/dissonance", then log out and log back in again as dissonance
[03:40] <openminddj> Flannel: Thanks for the help! Much Appreciation
[03:40] <crabgrass> mcphail: alright
[03:40] <superkirbyartist> Eddmul, I couldn't tell you now.  I am juicing Becky St. James.
[03:40] <superkirbyartist> Eddmul, I had to type all song names :(
[03:40] <SpiderDan> the terminal command to restart samba is just "sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart", correct?
[03:40] <superkirbyartist> Why can't Ubuntu detect them automatically?
[03:41] <eddmul> Ok guys, I'll try to do it, thank you needhelp and superkirbyartist
[03:41] <skrubbles> awesome how do I go about getting that resolution?
[03:41] <superkirbyartist> No problem eddmul
[03:41] <Mutal1ty> <-- still needs some help if anyone is available plz
[03:41] <skrubbles> just saw your messege RAOF
[03:41] <skrubbles> !resolution
[03:41] <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
[03:41] <neonimr> how can i burn an iso in ubuntu
[03:41] <kiltedbrandon> bobstro:  this "foremost" program looks promising.  I've been looking around for a while and this seems to have been written for the airforce compsec department
[03:42] <synjet> neonimr: gnome-baker
[03:42] <mcphail> neonimr: right-click on it
[03:42] <sgtmattbaker> my hostname is bill and my router identifies this PC as bill but when I try to ssh it says that isn't a valid service..
[03:42] <bobstro> kiltedbrandon:  should be fish in a barrel for those tools.
[03:42] <bulmer> sgtmattbaker: ssh from where to where/
[03:42] <bulmer> ?
[03:42] <bobstro> kiltedbrandon:  it's an interesting area. not my thing, but some good toys.
[03:42] <crabgrass> bobstro, mcphail: YES YES YES, it worked,  thank you both so much, i was scared shitless for a while there
[03:42] <RAOF> sgtmattbaker: How are you resolving "bill" to an IP address?
[03:42] <Mutal1ty> obotu: I cannot even get it to boot normally
[03:42] <NickGarvey> sgtmattbaker: that is because you need to have it in /etc/hosts
[03:42] <mcphail> crabgrass: well done
[03:42] <ohadz> anyone have experience installing on ubuntu 7.04?
[03:42] <Mutal1ty> only console
[03:43] <Mutal1ty> is there a way to try a normal boot and do an error log?
[03:43] <crabgrass> bobstro, mcphail: erm... any reccomendations on an automatic backup program, or is it better to do by hand?
[03:43] <RAOF> sgtmattbaker: Because that's what SSH is after.  If you're using 7.04, you should be able to "ssh bill.local", which will use avahi to resolve
[03:43] <kiltedbrandon> it should be yes.  I just need to make a dd image and I'm having trouble parsing the docs,  The program simply refuses to read from a block device
[03:43] <Mutal1ty> so that I might pinpoint the problem
[03:43] <zero_> hi, im totaly newbie on ubuntu, ive tried to work with bittorrent and it's supposed to be installed but i just can't find it
[03:43] <synjet> zero_, sudo apt-get install bittornado
[03:43] <bulmer> RAOF whats this avahi? totally new to me..
[03:43] <mcphail> crabgrass: a simple rsync script and a cron job would do the trick
[03:44] <RAOF> bulmer: Also known as "zeroconf" or "bonjour".  Basically, no-configuration network stuff.
[03:44] <synjet> zero_, bittorrent should be in apps-->internet
[03:44] <mcphail> crabgrass: but don't use sudo with graphical apps in the future!
[03:44] <crabgrass> mcphail: point taken, i won't
[03:44] <kazol> how do I crop an image in gimp?
[03:44] <bulmer> RAOF: okay..thanks
[03:44] <crabgrass> mcphail: thanks again, man!
[03:45] <kazol> How do I crop an image in GIMP by specifying a value?
[03:45] <sgtmattbaker> bill is in my /etc/hosts.. but ssh keeps saying it isn't valid.. I can login doing bill@sabayonlinux-28 though... also my router also sees it as bill
[03:45] <halpern> How do I get MMS: streams to not open with Totem by default?
[03:45] <synjet> kazol: gimp gives you coords.. that might help
[03:45] <mcphail> kiltedbrandon: have you tried "photorec" to recover the jpegs?
[03:46] <ztomic> kazol, #gimp
[03:46] <kiltedbrandon> mcphail:  no, I have not heard of it
[03:46] <zero_> synjet: yeah i should be there, but is not there...
[03:46] <zero_> synjet: it **
[03:46] <mcphail> kiltedbrandon: it is a nice tool. Very simple.
[03:46] <luca89> hello
[03:47] <kiltedbrandon> mcphail: I assume it doesnt need the filesystem to work, ie, it can read off a block device?
[03:47] <synjet> zero: try #gimp for detailed help
[03:47] <bobstro> mcphail:  will photorec work on a damaged fat32 dpartitoin?
[03:47] <superkirbyartist> Here goes nothing!
[03:47] <mcphail> kiltedbrandon: bobstro: yes, it will work fine
[03:47] <eddmul> superkirbyartist have you install VLC media player yet?
[03:48] <bobstro> mcphail:  good to know. by coincidence, i installed testdisk package about 10 minutes ago!
[03:48] <SpiderDan> one more samba related question... I have a fat32 partition (hda5) that I would like to share, but it belongs to the group "plugdev".  I have an ntfs partition on another drive that works as a share just fine, but it belongs to group "root"
[03:48] <superkirbyartist> Eddmul: Somehow, works in totem (although VLC is excellent too).
[03:48] <zero_> synjet: it didnt show anything
[03:48] <mcphail> bobstro: :)
[03:48] <kiltedbrandon> mcphail:  I will try that now.  thank you
[03:48] <SpiderDan> can I just symlink hda5 to something like "fat32", change ownership, and edit smb.conf accordingly?
[03:48] <synjet> zero: type here: /join #gimp
[03:49] <SpiderDan> I thought about trying to change owner on /media/hda5 directly but I'm scared it might break something
[03:49] <superkirbyartist> How do I remove the proprietary crud?
[03:49] <cyanics> question for the group: I just picked up a Dell Poweredge 840 with a PERC 5/i. 4x 250GB drives. This is for a domain-esq environment. Should i do RAID-5 or RAID10?
[03:49] <Hegemon> my comp frezzes up when it goes to the keyboard lock (or whatever it is)
[03:49] <brianw> Raid 10 I say
[03:50] <cyanics> raid 5= 750GB available, raid 10 = 500GB available.
[03:50] <brianw> Unless you need 750GB as opposed to 500
[03:50] <zero_> what does gimp stands for?
[03:50] <skrubbles> I'm trying to get 1920x1200 resolution on my ati card... when I type sudo aticonfig in my terminal it says command not found
[03:50] <skrubbles> any workarounds?
[03:50] <brianw> gnome image manipulation program
[03:50] <NickGarvey> zero_: gnu image manipulation program
[03:50] <Pelo> zero_,  gnu image manipulation program
[03:50] <brianw> er yeah, gnu
[03:50] <Pelo> ...
[03:50] <synjet> !gimp>zero_
[03:50] <brianw> heh
[03:50] <eddmul> superkirbyartist can we chat in private?
[03:50] <cyanics> anyone have any experience growing a raid-5?
[03:51] <brianw> cyanics: md raid?
[03:51] <zero_> ok thx..
[03:51] <superkirbyartist> Eddmul, sent you a PM.
[03:51] <brianw> zero_: clearly stated on the site for gimp :)
[03:51] <cyanics> brianw, megaraid.
[03:51] <cyanics> brianw, if that is your question.
[03:52] <brianw> cyanics: lsi, yeah I did it  afew times
[03:52] <kiltedbrandon> mcphail:  it's grinding away.  cool
[03:52] <bobstro> skrubbles:  you might try making a backup of xorg.conf, then do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and specifying those modes.
[03:52] <superkirbyartist> Eddmul, wake up ;)
[03:52] <zero_> synjet: there is no ppl there, what im supposed to do there?
[03:52] <guerrillawon> Does anyone know of a good cross platfrom, windows / linux video conferencing software?
[03:52] <cyanics> brianw, : size isn't a matter for the client. moving from 20gb total environment to 500+gb total environment. just can't decide which raid level to do it at.
[03:52] <skrubbles> bobstro, thanks, I'll give it a shot
[03:53] <bobstro> skrubbles:  just make that backup first!
[03:53] <guerrillawon> I am using amsn, which is not so good, and can't get mercury to install properly. :/
[03:53] <mcphail> kiltedbrandon: it is a superb piece of software. Quite surprising what it picks up at times!
[03:53] <bobstro> skrubbles: you'll need a re-start of x. do it at a shell (non gui) session.
[03:53] <superkirbyartist> Cheers.
[03:53] <synjet> guerrilawon: kopete is good
[03:53] <brianw> cyanics: raid 10 will perform better and could potentially survive two disk failures
[03:53] <DanielX> Good evening, everyone
[03:53] <skrubbles> bobstro, I'm new to linux and ubuntu how do I make that backup?
[03:53] <brianw> skrubbles: cp
[03:54] <cyanics> brianw, so you say RAID10? cause i just started initializing the array ;-)
[03:54] <homlove> Entrez le texte ici...hello
[03:54] <synjet> zero_, I could walk you through the gimp thingie in PM, but I aint registered.. you could return to #gimp later
[03:54] <homlove> omar-bravo-18@hotmail.com
[03:54] <bobstro> skrubbles:  you might want to find a hand-hold tutorial somewhere if this is new to you. just cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.save or some such thing. it's in /etc/X11
[03:54] <brianw> cyanics: I use raid 10 on my 4 X 320GB file server
[03:54] <cenuij> http://www.miracleas.com/BAARF/RAID5_versus_RAID10.txt
[03:54] <guerrillawon> Thanks synjet I'll check it out.
[03:54] <cyanics> brianw, just wish there was a way to grow raid10.
[03:54] <homlove> hello
[03:55] <zero_> synjet: ok... but i don't get it, what about #gimp?
[03:55] <synjet> guerrilawon: but kopete only runs on linux.. but I got yahoo webcam to work
[03:55] <cyanics> brianw, but i guess if you do it slowly by replacing each disk, eventually you can reincorporate the extra space.
[03:55] <skrubbles> bobstro, ok I think I'll find a tutorial and try this out... thanks :)
[03:55] <DanielX> The update manager is telling me "failed to fetch" the new update manager from ca.archive.ubuntu.. how do i add repositories?
[03:55] <guerrillawon> Synjet here's a noob question, can I run KDE applications in gnome?>
[03:55] <synjet> guerrilawon: I am doing so.. yes
[03:55] <brianw> cyanics: I am never ocncerned w/ growing myself. But that is just me
[03:55] <guerrillawon> Ok thank you.
[03:55] <XServer> if u install them you can gerilla
[03:55] <skrubbles> doesn't matter much if I mess up... I'll just reinstall
[03:55] <Minstrel> any chance someone has a zoltrix fm/tv card installed and working?
[03:55] <synjet> guerrilawon: no prob
[03:56] <bobstro> skrubbles:  you rarely need to do that!
[03:56] <guerrillawon> Ahh I see, I thought maybe the two interfaces would have problems since programs seem to be specifically geared towards one of the other.
[03:56] <guerrillawon> Also do you guys recommend installing beryl?
[03:56] <zero_> how can i run bittorrent from shell?
[03:56] <guerrillawon> ahem guys/girls
[03:56] <brianw> guerrillawon: I would rather stick to gtk+ or qt apps, but you can mix if you wish.
[03:57] <Flannel> zero_: btdownloadcurses
[03:57] <SpiderDan> hmmm.  I tried using chown on /media/hda5 and it says operation not permitted
[03:57] <cyanics> brianw, i have a 4tb file server at a colo which i needed an additional 4 tb. the first configuration was with raid10. i ended up just having to do a raid-10 of the raid-10 on the array to make a growth.
[03:57] <brianw> imo beryl is a horrible window manager...
[03:57] <SpiderDan> to recap, I can't access a samba share of a fat32 partition
[03:57] <SpiderDan> but I can access an ntfs partition
[03:57] <guerrillawon> ok, I will not bother then. I don't need it it's just been so highly praised I thought I might be missing out.
[03:57] <cyanics> brianw, it was a pain in the ass. should have done a raid-5 first time round.
[03:57] <SpiderDan> the only difference appears to be that the fat32 partition belongs to group "plugdev"
[03:57] <eddmul> guys thank you for helping me, I've found the source how to upgrade it
[03:57] <SpiderDan> while the ntfs belongs to group "root"
[03:58] <brianw> cyanics: w/ that many disk, raid 6 would be much more appropriate
[03:58] <skrubbles> bobstro, I'm just saying even if I manage to mess something up (given I'm a newb with this wouldn't suprise me) it wouldn't destroy my life because this is just an old experiment computer with nothing on it
[03:58] <cyanics> have never used 6.
[03:58] <zero_> Flannel: it doesnt has graphic interface?
[03:58] <skrubbles> I'd like to avoid it though, lol
[03:58] <phy2> guerrillawon: I would say, install beryl, play with it.... if you don't like it, log out/ log in, and you are back to normal (it has to be started again at each login if you want to use it)
[03:58] <cyanics> isn't that RAID5, with striped parity?
[03:58] <homlove> omar-bravo-18@hotmail.com
[03:58] <brianw> cyanics: keeps 2 parity copies
[03:58] <bobstro> skrubbles:  true, but make a point of resisting the "microsoft fix" of reformat and reinstall!
[03:58] <Flannel> zero_: what?  It has a terminal interface, because you asked for it in a terminal.
[03:59] <synjet> homlove? spamming?
[03:59] <guerrillawon> phy2 might do so in the future, right now I'm focused on getting mercury running.
[03:59] <cyanics> brianw, sorry. didn't direct that.... isn't that just raid 5 with striped parity?
[03:59] <phy2> mercury mail?
[03:59] <guerrillawon> And I can't for some reason, it's having problems with the java virtual machine.
[03:59] <guerrillawon> The messenger.
[03:59] <zero_> Flannel: actually i'd like to run a graphic interface, but i dont know how, it doesn't appers on applications>internet
[03:59] <homlove> ooooooooooooo
[03:59] <guerrillawon> mercury.to
[03:59] <Flannel> zero_: for all your options, type "bt" and then hit tab twice.
[03:59] <cyanics> brianw, i was actually interested in raid 50, but not too many vendors support it in hardware.
[03:59] <guerrillawon> err www.mercury.to
[04:00] <Flannel> zero_: oh, just donload the torrent and then double click it.  It'll automatically do it's thing
[04:00] <rob_65> Can anyone recommend me an application to rip DVD's to my hard disk and encode them as MP4?
[04:00] <cyanics> brianw, oh well. raid 10 for this client.
[04:00] <rob_65> .avi ?
[04:00] <brianw> cyanics: :)
[04:00] <homlove> hello
[04:00] <crdlb> rob_65: mencoder :)
[04:00] <brianw> cyanics: I prefer linux md raid over hw for the most part. Unless it is using an areca card. :)
[04:00] <cyanics> it is amazing (dude i am old) how easy it is to make a terabyte now-a days.
[04:00] <guerrillawon> I am getting errors trying to load shared librarys.
[04:00] <kaha> Does anyone else have a problem with Docker locking up their Openbox3 display when called?
[04:00] <cyanics> brianw, i like hardware.
[04:00] <rob_65> mencoder? wicked, i'll give it a try :
[04:00] <zero_> Flannel: ohh, ok i'll try it now
[04:00] <rob_65> :)
[04:01] <brianw> cyanics: heh I know. My first hard disk I bought retail was 512MB
[04:01] <cyanics> brianw, not as easy to work with, but much more reliable.
[04:01] <brianw> cyanics: not ime
[04:01] <Wbee> testing
[04:01] <cyanics> brianw, to each, his own.
[04:01] <brianw> cyanics: I should say w/ mediacore hw raid, which is about 85%
[04:01] <zero_> Flannel: thx man ^_^!
[04:02] <crdlb> rob_65: that is *the* encoding app for linux, but you'll probably want a frontend to it
[04:02] <_Codeman_> I'm trying to rip a cd to mp3 format but kaffeine won't let me... any suggestions?
[04:02] <brianw> cyanics: I am not referring to on board fake raid either.
[04:02] <cyanics> brianw, yeah, i understand that. i used to work as a hardware-lab engineer. could definately see the difference between an LSI controller failure rate, and a megaraid failure rate.
[04:02] <synjet> rob-65: dvd-rip, check ubuntuguide.org
[04:02] <cyanics> brianw, fakeRAID isn't even worth mentioning.
[04:02] <brianw> cyanics: lsi makes megaraid
[04:02] <rob_65> synjet: Okay, thanks :)
[04:03] <cyanics> brianw, went through way to many fake controllers claiming to be "hardware" raid
[04:03] <homlove> Entrez le texte ici...omar-bravo-18@hotmail.com
[04:03] <eddmul> guys, I've a problem when upgrading Edgy to ?Feisty, here are the errors : The upgrade aborts now. Please free at least 445M of disk space on /usr. Empty your trash and remove temporary packages of former installations using 'sudo apt-get clean'. Anyone can tell me why?
[04:03] <homlove> hkjlmmlkhv
[04:03] <cyanics> brianw, didn't used to. LSI used to use adaptec chipsets, back when adaptec made raid controllers.
[04:03] <Flannel> eddmul: because you don't have enough space to download the packages to upgrade
[04:03] <_Codeman_> I'm trying to rip a cd to mp3 format but kaffeine won't let me... any suggestions?
[04:03] <brianw> cyanics: I have a 6 port sata lsi megaraid controller on my desk right next to me
[04:03] <cyanics> brianw, considering how old i am. i remember when megaraid was using AMD chipsets for their controllers.
[04:03] <brianw> cyanics: battery backed up cache
[04:04] <cyanics> brianw, talking cirqa 1995.
[04:04] <SpiderDan> anyone have any idea why I'm unable to access a samba share of a fat32 partition?  seems like it's related to group permissions
[04:04] <brianw> cyanics: aye
[04:04] <kupesoft>  What's a good small computer like the mini-mac or something for a headless Ubuntu Linux home server (with a least a pci slot to be a wireless ap)
[04:04] <cyanics> brianw, back when you could find "raid 3" and "raid 2"
[04:04] <brianw> heh
[04:04] <kupesoft> I'm having trouble navigating through the sea of distributors!
[04:05] <bobstro> kupesoft:  the mini/micro-itx fit the bill.
[04:05] <SpiderDan> kupesoft: I bought a shuttle
[04:05] <[Tuxedo] > Can anyone help  me with fdisk?
[04:05] <brianw> kupesoft: I remember reading about something the same footprint of that mac mini.. but I do not recall
[04:05] <SpiderDan> kupesoft: mine has 4X AGP, 1 PCI, athlon xp 2800
[04:06] <SpiderDan> not a screamer, but decent for a test box
[04:06] <brianw> kupesoft: you could use the mac mini as well :)
[04:06] <homlove> allk
[04:06] <homlove> kjl
[04:06] <homlove> o$
[04:06] <brianw> or does ubuntu not have a ppc port?
[04:06] <Pici> !ppc
[04:06] <ubotu> PowerPC.  Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ
[04:06] <bobstro> kupesoft:  the itx guys have ap platforms, and ruggedized car servers and such if that's what you're after.

[04:07] <brianw> kupesoft: if you just want an AP/router, the soekris boards are great
[04:07] <kupesoft> I want a server with a hard drive or two and at least 256mb or ram
[04:08] <kupesoft> 1ghz chip

[04:08] <jrib> homlove: this channel is for Ubuntu support.  Please stay on topic
[04:08] <usser> its a shame ppc gets off the scene
[04:08] <brianw> kupesoft: the nano-itx boards are pretty slick
[04:08] <brianw> kupesoft: especially for power savings
[04:09] <taggie> kupesoft, check out ebay for firewall platform machines, they tend to go cheaply and have tons of power. for example: http://cgi.ebay.com/St-Bernard-iPrism-1200-CPU-Internet-Ethernet-Firewall_W0QQitemZ220108052228QQihZ012QQcategoryZ51168QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

[04:11] <Punkunity> i want to turn my yahoo mail contacts intio a csv file so i can import them into gmail, and or evolution
[04:11] <mcphail> Punkunity: OpenOffice.org is the one which springs to mind
[04:12] <phy2> Punkunity CSV = a text file with values separated by commas... so, a text editor can do it
[04:12] <brianw> kupesoft: http://www.mini-box.com/VIA-EPIA-EX10000EG?sc=8&category=99
[04:12] <kaha> Does anyone else have a problem with Docker locking up Openbox3 when called?
[04:12] <Punkunity> i was about to try that, thought id ask first thanks mcphail and phy2 ok i didnt know about the text editor
[04:12] <brianw> Punkunity: so use yahoo mail to export
[04:12] <eddmul> Flannel, I've 883.2 Mb free space... from 3.4 Gb,
[04:13] <Flannel> eddmul: In /usr?
[04:13] <phy2> I didn't see your cconversion needs... but that is what a CSV is
[04:13] <synjet> punkunity: yes, just export the address-book to csv which gets imported to gmail
[04:13] <jrib> Punkunity: Comma Separated Values  <-- that was a bit of an epiphany for me when I relaized it
[04:14] <synjet> jrib: epiphany the browser? :)
[04:14] <Punkunity> synjet, whats that?? how do i export the address book to csv?
[04:14] <eddmul> from root directory /
[04:14] <Punkunity> lol jrib
[04:14] <Flannel> eddmul: Do you have /usr mounted somewhere else? or is /usr on that same partition?  How about others?
[04:14] <synjet> punkunity: yahoo-mail --> addresses top right side import/export link
[04:15] <bootsmorris> can i get some help with my media buttons on my latop
[04:15] <dougsko> is there a way to use aptitude to install a package locally?
[04:15] <eddmul> In the same dir

[04:15] <ubotu> bootsmorris: 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
[04:15] <Punkunity> ty synjet
[04:15] <Flannel> dougsko: just use dpkg
[04:15] <bootsmorris> i tried that
[04:15] <synjet> punkunity: np
[04:15] <bootsmorris> keytouch wont pick them up
[04:15] <Cerda> i can get an ip but i have about 70% packet loss in my network, i think full duplex isnt working good, can anyone help me????
[04:15] <gu2> Hi... a question.. I am not being able to record sounds... It seems that somehow ubuntu recognizes 2 audio drivers.. ALSA and OSS, I need the apps to use ALSA, but they are hooked to OSS,  how could I change that???
[04:16] <dougsko> Flannel: so dpkg has a --prefix option or something? (im cecking out the man page now)
[04:16] <eddmul> flannel, can you help me how to free my /usr ?
[04:16] <Punkunity> it is giving me only import options uder that menu nothing for export....
[04:16] <Punkunity> nm im nidiot
[04:16] <Punkunity> and tired
[04:16] <synjet> gu2--> system-->prefs-->sound
[04:17] <Flannel> dougsko: --prefix?  what?  dpkg -i [deb] 
[04:17] <Workaphobia> Bah. I just tried an install on a friend's laptop, and the GUI slider that controls how much space to allocate to the existing NTFS drive and how much to give to ubuntu was labelled in reverse. He now has a 15 gig ntfs partition instead of a 65 gig one.
[04:17] <gu2> THANKS synjet!!
[04:17] <vanberge> does anyone on right now use dvd::rip ?  can't get it to do any kind of encoding other than xvid.   L-/
[04:17] <leagris> Cerda, does ifconfig eth0 show some significant errors, overruns, frame errors?
[04:17] <synjet> punkunity: scroll the page down :) the export tab is there
[04:17] <Workaphobia> So we're trying to fix it by resizing with gparted, but every time we attempt to commit the changes, it automounts the partition to stop us
[04:17] <Flannel> eddmul: Do you have /usr on it's own partition?
[04:17] <Workaphobia> anyone know how to kill the automounter?
[04:17] <eddmul> no flannel, it's in root
[04:18] <Punkunity> lol yeah i already said i was an idiot but thanks lol
[04:18] <cheeseboy> how do i make file excuteable?
[04:18] <eddmul> is it possible to move it somewhere else?
[04:18] <eddmul> flnnel?
[04:18] <dougsko> cheeseboy: chmod +x <file>
[04:18] <Flannel> eddmul: well, I suppose it's feasible that you need more room than you currently have.  How much extra stuff (from a stock ubuntu install) do you have?
[04:18] <synjet> cheeseboy chmod a+x
[04:18] <gbutler69> I would like to work towards becoming an Ubuntu contributor and MOTU. Is there any assistance available for this process?
[04:19] <Flannel> gbutler69: #ubuntu-motu
[04:19] <gbutler69> thanks
[04:19] <phy2> whatza MOTU ?
[04:19] <novacheck> does anyone have a tv card they would recommend?
[04:19] <Mutal1ty> ... k, I THINK I solved the UI problem
[04:19] <Mutal1ty> ran the console config

[04:19] <FuzzplugJones> hello, i'm trying feisty for the first time on my notebook, i use linux on the server side a lot but the desktop has been a difficult transition every time i try but it's looking good
[04:20] <Cerda> hi i have about 70% packet loss in network, maybe full duplex isnt working, anyone knows how can i enable it??
[04:20] <dougsko> Flannel: i meant a local install, as opposed to a system wide one. can you install a package without root?
[04:20] <Amchi> anyone know how to bridge DSL modem and wireless card to make Ubuntu a wireless AP ?
[04:20] <leagris> Cerda, does ifconfig eth0 show some significant errors, overruns, frame errors?
[04:20] <dness> does anyone know how to get Doom 3 working in ubuntu
[04:20] <Cerda> leagris no, its fine
[04:21] <CL> exit
[04:21] <eddmul> I've used 3.4 Gb for Ubuntu installation and 1 Gb for swap, because I'm running in dual OS, Win and Ubuntu, that's it flannel. And I've 1 partition but Ubuntu doesn't recognize it.
[04:21] <leagris> Cerda, so your packet loss is ot hardware related
[04:21] <bootsmorris> i need help with my media buttons, such as my pause play  and fast foreward.  as well as internet button
[04:21] <Workaphobia> Does anyone know how to disable the automounter on the livecd so I can resize the partition?
[04:21] <Cerda> leagris but it works fine in windows
[04:21] <leagris> Cerda, software related problem
[04:22] <leagris> Cerda, did you check the MTU betwen both units ?
[04:22] <gu2> arrrhhhhhhh doesnt work!
[04:22] <Cerda> leagris no, dont know what that means
[04:22] <cheeseboy> anyone use mirc in wine on linux?
[04:22] <davor> what I need to read/write a mac os journal partition?
[04:23] <gu2> sound recorder doesnt offer Microphone as Record source input.... why would that be???
[04:23] <bootsmorris> can neone help me with my media buttons on my toshiba laptop?
[04:24] <synjet> bootmorris: I doubt if the media keys work for toshiba (satellite).. though the fn keys (brightness, vol etc) work pretty fine
[04:24] <Flannel> dougsko: try --instdir (close to the end of the man page)
[04:25] <LordTureis> workaphobia: I don't know how to disable the automounter, per se.  But, you can unmount it by right-clicking  -> unmount volume.  Is that enough, or do you actually need to keep ubuntu from automounting?
[04:25] <dougsko> Flannel: hehe i was just about to say i found it...thanks
[04:25] <bootsmorris> i have figured this out
[04:25] <leagris> Cerda, Max Transmit Unit. Define maximum packet length allowed on a link. Usually it is 1500bytes on an ethernet link. Wan links over ppp tend to limit this to 1452 1492 and while both system should agree on length or provide proper fragmentation. Sometimes it can't due to firewalling settings or equipment limitations.
[04:25] <Flannel> dougsko: does that work?  awesome
[04:25] <bootsmorris> thnx

[04:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mtu - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:26] <Workaphobia> lordtureis: we've unmounted from the command line without a problem, it just keeps remounting it. I just found an option in preferences and disabled it, trying again...
[04:26] <BWolf1985> Can anyone offer Wireless Network help?
[04:26] <LordTureis> workaphobia: if the volume is removable, you can disable the automounter through System > Preferences > Removable Drives & Media   ... but you seem to have found it perhaps?
[04:26] <|Zippo|> hello, somebody know where can I get PYXF86CONFIG to Ubuntu 7.04
[04:26] <eddmul> Flannel, where r you?
[04:27] <Workaphobia> lordtureis: That's what I found, but it's not removable, it's a scsi disk
[04:27] <Workaphobia> lordtureis: But I think it partially completed by chance because the automounter was too slow the last time around
[04:27] <Workaphobia> anyway I tried it again even though it seems to have worked last time, and it didn't pop up
[04:28] <Workaphobia> so for some reason the livecd gnome considers the internal scsi disk to be removable
[04:28] <Workaphobia> that's annoying...
[04:28] <synjet> !wireless>bwolf1985
[04:28] <leagris> Workaphobia, if you don't mind erasing everything you could dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/scsidevice to blank and terminate any trace of remaning partitions.
[04:28] <dsfsdf> when i try modprobe forcedeth it says
[04:28] <Workaphobia> Anyway, gonna finish creating the other partitions and reboot into windows and see if it died...
[04:28] <mcphail> Aren't scsi drives generally removable?

[04:29] <Workaphobia> stand by, I'll try finishing the partitioning and rebooting..

[04:31] <synjet> gu2: did you try prefs-->sound-->sound capture test?
[04:31] <Induane_> Quick question, I have managed to break a feisty system beyond repair (afaik) and would like to do a reinstall keeping the home directory intact so as not to lose any settings.  It was already a feisty install before.  I tried the rescue broken cd option on the installer but it can't even execute a shell on the partition.  I can execute a shell from the cd though and mount the disk and the home directory appears to be fine.  A fsck also sho
[04:31] <Induane_> So how can I do a reinstall without formatting? Or rather, how can I reinstall leaving only the home directory intact?
[04:31] <AndrewB> hmm
[04:32] <LordTureis> Workaphobia: you might consider installing gparted through synaptic (should still "install" to the livecd).  It is a much more powerful partition editor than the built-in one on the live cd
[04:32] <Punkunity> anyone know evolution mail client?
[04:32] <chump> i sugges bootin the live cd backup your home then reinstall
[04:32] <synjet> andrewb: cron, gcrontab
[04:32] <gu2> will try it now..
[04:32] <Punkunity> i am trying to put a second email accoutn as well as a third eventually onto m,y evolution.....i want to be able to read 3 seperate email accounts with the one client
[04:33] <LordTureis> Induane: is your /home on a separate partition?  That would make it a lot easier
[04:33] <Induane_> chump possible, but the issue is the wired net is broken, and the wireless only works with ndiswrapper - I don't have a way to actually get the home dir off.  The drive in the laptop is not a burner either, nor do I have an external hd or cd to do it to.
[04:33] <danielm> Question: is the daily build iso actually daily? the timestamp for when it was last modified is the day of the feisty release
[04:33] <Induane_> LordTureis no it was a default install.  I should have done it on a seperate partition - thas how I did my desktop
[04:33] <gu2> it doesnt do anything!!!
[04:33] <Workaphobia> lordtureis: I believe gparted is already installed and we're using it - we went to system->admin tools, not the install icon on the default desktop
[04:33] <leagris> Upgrading edgy to festy with update-manager wrecked menu.list from grub. I had to drive my friend on the phone, mounting the partition with fromme the live CD, editing and rebuilding a workable menu.lst from scratch or from remanents of undestroyed parts. He had dualboot.How and what could have caused all this wrecks?
[04:34] <Punkunity> nm i got it
[04:34] <|Zippo|> hello, somebody know where can I get PYXF86CONFIG to Ubuntu 7.04
[04:34] <LordTureis> k, nvm
[04:34] <Workaphobia> lordtureis: Whoops, now that the grub conf file's wiped, can't boot windows.. Have to look up the command for that
[04:34] <bimberi> danielm: yes, but they haven't started doing daily builds for gutsy yet.  Not sure when that will start though
[04:34] <synjet> gu2: after hitting the test, speak into it.. do you hear anything? (btw hope you ticked the mute option for mic in volume-manager)
[04:34] <Induane_> Or maybe someone can suggest a way to get around the boot issue.  It simply says running /scripts/init-bottom   Done.    And nothing after that.  If I press special keys on the keyboard it tells me to map them... thats about it.
[04:34] <gu2> I can hear sounds when I knock the mic
[04:34] <danielm> btw, anyone have what appears to be the jmicron issue where you can't even boot the feisty install cd?
[04:34] <gu2> yes of course I did... yes.. I hear... online
[04:34] <gu2> I just can not record.. or make any app to record sound.. :(
[04:35] <cables> I've enabled Sync to VBlank in nvidia-settings, but I have to reenable it every time I boot up.
[04:35] <Induane_> cables try setting the save to x config file option
[04:35] <gu2> /who gu2
[04:35] <Induane_> in nvidia-settings
[04:35] <RAOF> cables: Add "nvidia-settings --load-config" (or something similar, see man nvidia-settings) to your session start up.
[04:35] <bimberi> danielm: there have been some questions regarding boot issues in here.  What's this issue though? Link?
[04:36] <cables> RAOF, ok, the problem is Beryl has to be started after that.
[04:36] <synjet> gu2: audacity doesnt record?
[04:36] <cables> Induane_, I will try your suggestion
[04:36] <gu2> hmm... Ill try it...
[04:36] <LordTureis> workaholic: don't look at me
[04:36] <RAOF> cables: Then load beryl as "nvidia-settings --load-config && beryl" ?
[04:36] <gu2> I have to install it first..
[04:36] <cables> RAOF, that makes sense
[04:37] <usacomputertec> can someone help me with BERYL
[04:37] <cables> !effects | usacomputertec
[04:37] <ubotu> usacomputertec: For help with Beryl or Compiz desktop effects, please go to #ubuntu-effects.
[04:37] <usacomputertec> I installed it but the tops of my windows are gone

[04:37] <ubotu> synjet: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[04:37] <Induane_> IS there a way to force the computer to boot the main system using the cd's kernel?
[04:38] <Induane_> maybe I could get rolling that way
[04:38] <synjet> cables: wow.. thanks

[04:48] <rubberducky> I just installed samba
[04:48] <rubberducky> Anyone?
[04:49] <gbutler69> rubberducky: I can give it a whirl. Whaddaya need?

[04:49] <rubberducky> it is a windows xp machine
[04:49] <rubberducky> I've googled a few articles and still can't get it running
[04:50] <redcard> rubberducky: You should be able to just open nautilus and be done.. or is it passworded?
[04:50] <ohadz> hi, how do i make the icons/folders on my desktop smaller?
[04:50] <gbutler69> OK, how familiar are you with windows file sharing?
[04:50] <rubberducky> Pretty familiar
[04:50] <rubberducky> You mean from linux
[04:50] <Centaur5> Can anybody tell me what kind of a howto I would look for to be able to choose a few different types of installations over a network using pxeboot?
[04:50] <rubberducky> or just in windows ?
[04:50] <gbutler69> OK, there are a couple of options.
[04:50] <rubberducky> I have samba installed too
[04:50] <gbutler69> Just windows....I'll help you (or try to) with the Linux part.
[04:50] <danielm> bimberi, i just gave an additional boot option (irqpoll) that seems to have worked! let me see how that fares
[04:51] <rubberducky> k
[04:51] <gu2> synjet.. amazing program!!!  It records!!!
[04:51] <gbutler69> Are you using a domain controller under windows, or a simple login?

[04:51] <gu2> unffortunatly with a very low volume..
[04:51] <nalpha> guys how to setup sources.list or apt that can switch automatically if one of the repisotory is failed or down? thanx.
[04:51] <gu2> but works!
[04:51] <rubberducky> What do you mean gbutler69 ?
 right mouse on it - stretch icon ...
[04:51] <rubberducky> I have a work group setup that my windows computers are in
[04:51] <LordTureis> ohadz: right-click the icons and stretch icons.  Unfortunatly, I think you can't change them all at once on the desktop, at least right now.
[04:51] <rubberducky> Named Games95
[04:52] <craigbass1976> rubberducky, does the windows box have a firewall running?
[04:52] <gbutler69> rubberducky: let me put it another way. What is your network configuration? Simple linux box connecting to windows box on standalone network?
[04:52] <gbutler69> (not counting the internet).
[04:52] <rubberducky> Um
[04:52] <ohadz> yeah. that sucks
[04:52] <Blond1> absolute newbie.  when steps in a guide are in that box, where do  i type that information
[04:52] <rubberducky> We have 2 windows computers
[04:52] <rubberducky> and 1 linux
[04:52] <rubberducky> connected using a firewall
[04:52] <gbutler69> OK.
[04:52] <RAOF> nalpha: Just add more than one "deb" line for each section, like "deb http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty main" and "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty main"
[04:52] <_Codeman_> do I need xscreensaver?
[04:52] <gbutler69> Both XP on the Windows boxes?
[04:52] <_Codeman_> cuz it's buggy as hell
[04:52] <rubberducky> Yeah
[04:53] <nalpha> RAOF: ow.. just that?
[04:53] <rubberducky> The firewall is really just a router
[04:53] <gbutler69> OK. What kind of firewall? Do you mean a router with built in FW?
[04:53] <vanberge> anybody ever use Pitivi  ?
[04:53] <nalpha> RAOF: okey.. thanx alot.
[04:53] <rubberducky> Yes
[04:53] <rubberducky> Linksys
[04:53] <rubberducky> Wireless router...but the two computers im networking are wired to it
[04:54] <gaten> Blond1:  goto Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal
[04:54] <bimberi> danielm: cool, I've been looking at that bug report.  The kernel on the Feisty Desktop CD should include the fix mentioned at Comment 110.  Perhaps it's another issue - Ben Collins felt that many of the comments to that bug could be caused by other problems.

[04:55] <jbj^> where can I download Ubuntu "Gutsy Gibbon"
[04:55] <RAOF> jbj^: You can't.
[04:55] <LordTureis> non|inear: that depends.  can you be more specific
[04:55] <LordTureis> ?
[04:55] <ward_> RAOF, i'm trying to get LIRC to work
[04:55] <gaten> ward_:  03f8? that would be 1016
[04:56] <ward_> RAOF, 03F8 should be serial port
[04:56] <gaten> Blond1:  its ok, we all start somewhere
[04:56] <gbutler69> rubberducky: Have you tried "Places - Network" from the panel main menu?
[04:56] <kandrews> Hi, is there a way to configure a mirror during an install? thanks!
[04:56] <RAOF> jbj^: Not yet.  You can replace "feisty" with "gutsy" in your /etc/apt/sources.list, but don't do that on any system that you want to *work*.
[04:56] <gbutler69> Does your "Windows Network" appear?
[04:56] <gbutler69> rubberducky: Which version of Ubuntu are you using?
[04:56] <RAOF> ward_: Ah.  Well, I'
[04:56] <ward_> gaten, 03F8 should be serial port
[04:56] <ward_> RAOF, sorry wrong nickname
[04:57] <Davo_Dinkum> I lost my root password :( Any ideas how to reset it? Without booting off a CD?
[04:57] <gaten> ward_:  my bad, felt like doing some hex->dec conversions
[04:57] <redcard> Davo_Dinkum: Not really.
[04:57] <mneptok> Davo_Dinkum: Ubuntu has no root password
[04:57] <Flannel> Davo_Dinkum: Did you set a root password?
[04:57] <ward_> gaten, its expressed in hex where i see it
[04:57] <RAOF> ward_: I've never tried to get LIRC to work, so I don't think I can help you.  However, posting what you're trying to do, what you've done, and the exact error you get is pretty much necesary to get any help :)
[04:57] <gbutler69> Davo_Dinkum: Try, "sudo passwd"
[04:57] <crdlb> Davo_Dinkum: you should be able to use your user password for sudo'ing
[04:57] <Davo_Dinkum> What's the password it keeps asking me for when I try to run software update?
[04:58] <mneptok> your user password
[04:58] <Blond1> gaten: ok, so the first thing i wanna do is get vid drivers right? Is that done by typing:  "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-common sudo nvidia-xconfig" into the terminal thing?
[04:58] <gbutler69> Davo_Dinkum: Your own password.
[04:58] <redcard> Davo_Dinkum: That's going to be your user password.
[04:58] <gaten> Blond1:  what ubuntu version
[04:58] <redcard> Caveat.  Your FIRST user's password.
[04:58] <Blond1> 6.1
[04:58] <mneptok> "6.10" ;)
[04:58] <gaten> Blond1:  ok. and i'm assuming your have a nvidia graphics card
[04:58] <ward_> RAOF, i've been working on it whole night its kindof hard but i'll try to
[04:59] <Blond1> gaten: 6.10 = ) umm it might be ati
[04:59] <telejedi> dumdiedeldum
[04:59] <gaten> Blond1:  thats something you need to find out
[04:59] <marlinth> Hey folks
[04:59] <mneptok> Blond1: lspci
[04:59] <SpiderDan> hi! just wondering how to set VLC as the default media player (when a file is double-clicked in nautilus)
[04:59] <crdlb> lspci|grep VGA
[04:59] <davor> the generic kernel supports HFS partition to write?
[04:59] <LordTureis> blond1: what does System > Admin  > Restricted Drivers Manager  say?
[04:59] <ward_> they've been trying to help me at mythtv-users, last thing they asked was to pastebin the results of a command
[05:00] <ward_> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19736
[05:00] <marlinth> My logitech g5 mouse keeps cutting out on me any suggestions?
[05:00] <c01100011> have this problem everytime i do a new install, never remember the solution. My rounded corners are not transparent (they have a dot of white) all other transparency including beryl works
[05:00] <ward_> RAOF, gaten, sorry forgot nicknames
[05:00] <redcard> marlinth: Battery, at a guess..
[05:00] <_Codeman_> All the rippers I try keep telling me there's no disk but Kaffeine sees the disk so that's not a problem
[05:00] <marlinth> it's a wired mouse
[05:00] <rubberducky> or just in windows ?Hmm
[05:00] <redcard> Oh. :P
[05:00] <Davo_Dinkum> The terminal says "<user> is not in the suders file. This incident will be reported."
[05:00] <gaten> SpiderDan:  right click on the file you want to open, goto properties and select "open with". then add your program
[05:00] <redcard> Davo_Dinkum: Then you need to be the first user on the account
[05:00] <marlinth> I'll be doing something and then all of a sudden it'll stop working
[05:00] <konam> i'm having problems with the amsn in the ubuntu repos
[05:01] <redcard> Davo_Dinkum: Er.. box.  On the box
[05:01] <rubberducky> Can someone help me with my networking problems
[05:01] <ward_> RAOF, gaten, the LIRC_serial module was compiled earlyer
[05:01] <marlinth> hey hitmanwilly
[05:01] <rubberducky> I can connect to my windows xp machines but I can not see any of the files actually shared on those computers
[05:01] <hitmanWilly> hello
[05:01] <redcard> rubberducky: If you can connect to the shares, it might be a permissioning issue
[05:01] <rubberducky> Like I connect to machine "scott" ...it just shows an empty folder
[05:01] <rubberducky> How do I deal with that?
[05:01] <gaten> ward_:  "use 'setserial /dev/ttySX uart none'" that looks like your answer
[05:01] <marlinth> This is Druntar
[05:02] <redcard> rubberducky: Check the windows machines
[05:02] <erikrocha> wao!!!
[05:02] <erikrocha> tanta gente?
[05:02] <marlinth> I changed to Ubuntu and the mouse problem lessened
[05:02] <rubberducky> Check the shared folders preferences
[05:02] <rubberducky> ?
[05:02] <leagris> Davo_Dinkum, you need to add your user to the admin group. The admin group define allowed sudoers
[05:02] <redcard> rubberducky: Make sure that there is read access on them.
[05:02] <erikrocha> con ubuntu!!!
[05:02] <RAOF> ward_: Yeah, what gaten said.  This is why we *read* error messages :)
[05:02] <rubberducky> kk
[05:02] <XServer> jajaja pa que tanto clon?
[05:02] <marlinth> but it's still there
[05:02] <erikrocha> alquien que hable espaol?
[05:02] <Flannel> !es | erikrocha
[05:02] <ubotu> erikrocha: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[05:02] <ward_> gaten, offcourse i allready tried that before i entered this channe, that's why people don't just assume stuff
[05:02] <Davo_Dinkum> leagris: Do I need root access to do that?
[05:02] <ward_> :-)
[05:02] <erikrocha> perfecto! mi amigo, gracias por el dato! :D
[05:02] <XServer> erikrocha que onda que necesitas
[05:03] <RAOF> ward_: After that, you might want to "sudo rmmod lirc-serial", then "sudo modprobe lirc-serial"
[05:03] <leagris> Davo_Dinkum, yes
[05:03] <redcard> Davo_Dinkum: Yes, you need to be on the first account to do it.
[05:03] <erikrocha> XServer
[05:03] <erikrocha> puedo chatear por aqu man verdad?
[05:03] <Davo_Dinkum> :(
[05:03] <non|inear> ok, well last night i rebooted, booted into XP, and on the next reboot grub gave me error (i think it was 14 or 1, can't temember atm, would have to boot back into xp).  proir to this was OK.  i think the problem is either 1)I installation of "NTFS configuration tool" (dont think i unmounted before booting) and 2) merger of two NTFS partitions in acronis, which failed.  I had to restore partion table that i saved right before installin
[05:03] <non|inear> g ubunti, and then had to rebuild it to correct for my ext and swap parts.  now when i load grub, i get error 22 - no such partiton.  somehow, super grub disk got me into ubuntu now.  what i want to do from here is 1) correct my partion table for the linux so that will be OK no matter what and 2) format NTFS parts and copy xp partiton images back. any suggestions?
[05:03] <ward_> RAOF, think i did that too but i'll try again just to be sure
[05:03] <erikrocha> o me voy al otro canal? :P
[05:03] <redcard> Davo_Dinkum: Do you not have access to the account?
[05:03] <konam> erikrocha ve a #ubuntu-es
[05:03] <erikrocha> ok man!
[05:03] <Davo_Dinkum> redcard: I forget the password
[05:03] <redcard> Davo_Dinkum: Then you need to use a CD to get in.
[05:03] <Pelo> erikrocha,   /join #ubuntu-es
[05:03] <erikrocha> si sera lo correcto! :D
[05:04] <gbutler69> Davo_Dinkum: Only way is to boot off resuce CD.
[05:04] <davor> somebody can help me... the generic kernel supports HFS partition to write?
[05:04] <gbutler69> Davo_Dinkum: or other "Rescue" bootable (e.g. USB FOB)
[05:04] <Davo_Dinkum> FOB?
[05:04] <XServer> si erik
[05:04] <erikrocha> gracias, ni bien entro y me siento a gusto! ... es el software libre ps! gracias! :D soy nuevo en Linux y estoy muy a gusto! :D
[05:04] <XServer> ok
[05:04] <XServer> bien
[05:04] <XServer> algun problema con tu pc?
[05:05] <ward_> RAOF, gaten, output of the setserial command: /dev/ttySX: No such file or directory
[05:05] <Flannel> Davo_Dinkum: did you forget your userpassword?  Or did you set (then forget) a root password?
[05:05] <Toma-> Im not getting any sound devices on a dell d300 laptop.... how can i find out what card it has?
[05:05] <Flannel> gbutler69, redcard, no.  He doesn't, that's what the rcovery console is for.
[05:05] <gaten> Davo_Dinkum:  read about the /etc/shadow file and learn how to reset your password once you boot the cd
[05:05] <redcard> Davo_Dinkum: And, I am going to recommend if your computer is in a safe area that only you use , that you use a non-common (meaning, one you don't use in other places) password and you write it down near the computer.  Many would have a problem with that, but the reality is, if you have access to the physical machine, you can compromise it anyway
[05:05] <Flannel> Davo_Dinkum, gaten, gbutler69, redcard, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword
[05:05] <Blond1> lordtureis: i dont see restricted drivers manager
[05:05] <leagris> Davo_Dinkum, boot on the live CD. Mount your root partition somewhere. Edit the file as sudo (no password required for sudo on the livecd)
[05:05] <gordy_au> hi, why does ping, ssh and other network tools never attempt to resolve an address from my secondary dns server when the first server doesnt have the answer?
[05:05] <Blond1> gaten: its an ati radeon
[05:05] <gaten> Flannel:  ahh my thanks
[05:05] <nicnicnic> anyone know how to install new Nvidia drivers? i need to get out of XWindows
[05:05] <Davo_Dinkum> OK thanks
[05:05] <Flannel> Guys, seriously, he doesn't need *any* additional media
[05:05] <marlinth> how do I edit my xorg.conf file in Ubuntu?
[05:05] <rubberducky> redcard: my windows box already had sharing enabled
[05:05] <RAOF> ward_: Oh, you want to replace the "X" there with a number.
[05:06] <rubberducky> still can't access the files in that folder
[05:06] <redcard> rubberducky: Yes, but check the permissions on the windows box.
[05:06] <gaten> Blond1:  ok, now you need to search the ubuntu forums for an "ATI howto"
[05:06] <redcard> rubberducky: It might have defaulted to some weird permissioning.
 use automatix wit will handle that for you
[05:06] <rubberducky> redcard: how do you do that exactly?
[05:06] <Pelo> nicnicnic, start with the resricted driver applet in meny > system > admin ( or pref I never remember)
[05:06] <Flannel> !automatix | XServer, nicnicnic
[05:06] <ubotu> XServer, nicnicnic: Automatix2 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
 if u have feisty u should have them by now
[05:06] <ward_> RAOF, how do i know wich one?
[05:06] <konam> im having problems with the aMSN in the ubuntu repos.
[05:06] <redcard> rubberducky: Right click on the directory on the windows machine, and check the permissions.  I think they're under the "Security" tab.
[05:06] <RAOF> ward_: I don't know.  Why not try all of them :)
[05:06] <Pelo> konam,  what problem exactly ?
[05:07] <marlinth> how do I get into root on Ubuntu?
[05:07] <gordy_au> hi, why does ping, ssh and other network tools never attempt to resolve an address from my secondary dns server when the first server doesnt have the answer? anyone? Thanks in adv...
[05:07] <gordy_au> marlinth: su
[05:07] <Pelo> !sudo | marlinth
[05:07] <ubotu> marlinth: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[05:07] <gaten> marlinth:  in the terminal, type 'sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf'. but back it up before you edit it
[05:07] <nicnicnic> ok i believe i do have feisty
[05:07] <Flannel> marlinth: You don't.  The root account is disabled, use sudo instead.
[05:07] <Anguis> Hi, folks1
[05:07] <Anguis> !
[05:07] <gordy_au> sudo passwd will enable it.
[05:07] <redcard> nicnicnic: Type lsb_release -a
[05:08] <redcard> nicnicnic: What's it say?
[05:08] <ward_> RAOF, sudo rrmod lirc output = ERROR: Module lirc_serial does not exist in /proc/modules
[05:08] <leagris> gordy_au, normal RFC defined DNS rules. If first DNS can't answer, ask the second, third...
[05:08] <Flannel> gordy_au: there's no reason to enable it.  Please don't recommend in here that any do.
[05:08] <rubberducky> redcard: everyone on the network has read/write privileges
 enable the nonfree repostiroies
[05:08] <non|inear> does ubuntu save partition table info?
[05:08] <ward_> i rememberd it was 0
[05:08] <RAOF> nicnicnic: Then System->Administration->Restricted Manager
[05:08] <ward_> the number
[05:08] <marlinth> gaten : how do I save it now?
[05:08] <rubberducky> I used it yesterday to backup my files from my window installation redcard
[05:08] <Beyond_The_Grave> Does anybody know what the default sudo password is if you installed ubuntu in safe graphics mode?
[05:08] <redcard> rubberducky: Hmm.
[05:08] <redcard> Are you sure your brother didn't delete it?
[05:08] <gaten> marlinth:  ctrl-x
[05:08] <konam> Pelo in install it with a simple sudo aptitude install amsn and when im type amsn in a terminal the promt says "core dumped" or something alike
[05:08] <rubberducky> Yeah
[05:08] <RAOF> ward_: That's OK.  That was just to remove the module so you could re-load it.  Since it's not loaded... :)
[05:08] <Pelo> non|inear, youcan run gparted from the system admin menu,  but you may hvae to install it
[05:08] <rubberducky> I was just on the computer
[05:08] <rubberducky> the files are there
[05:08] <marlinth> thank you gaten hopefully it will fix my mouse
[05:08] <ward_> RAOF, lol ok
[05:09] <nicnicnic> ra
[05:09] <gordy_au> leagris: ubuntu doesnt try the secondary though
[05:09] <nicnicnic> rad*
[05:09] <rubberducky> redcard: ubuntu sees the computer on the network, just not the files in the folder
[05:09] <nicnicnic> thanks
[05:09] <derek[] > Hi! How do I make the change done by xset +fp /fonts/path and xset fp rehash permanent? Where should I place these commands so that I don't need to run them everytime on booting?
[05:09] <gaten> marlinth:  ok good luck
[05:09] <redcard> rubberducky: Hmm.  Possibly check the user access to that shared folder (on the windows box) and make sure "Everyone" is allowed
[05:09] <non|inear> can gparted try to repair pt info?
[05:09] <Flannel> Beyond_The_Grave: The sudo password is always your user password
[05:09] <ward_> RAOF, output from second command: FATAL: Error inserting lirc_serial (/lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/misc/lirc_serial.ko): Input/output error
[05:09] <redcard> rubberducky: Otherwise, I'm kinda out of ideas..
[05:09] <Pelo> noneee, not that I know sorry
[05:09] <Beyond_The_Grave> Well, I tried that but it didn't work...
[05:09] <Anguis> I've tried installing AMD64 Feisty a few times on my system - did the md5 check - and cannot get it to move past the first options screen - I can't even load the live cd. Any direction on getting it installed?
[05:10] <rubberducky> Already did that
[05:10] <rubberducky> redcard: everyone is allowed
[05:10] <rubberducky> Could it be something on my ubuntu box?
[05:10] <redcard> Anguis: Hmm..move over to the alternate CD?
[05:10] <rubberducky> www.geocities.com/thelastcaboose
[05:10] <rubberducky> err
[05:10] <rubberducky> wrong link
[05:10] <rubberducky> Error "Unsupported operation" while creating a link to "smb://games95/SCOTT"
[05:10] <redcard> rubberducky: Possibly, but the thing that has me confused is that you can see the folders..
[05:10] <RAOF> ward_: Ooooh, dear.  That doesn't sou8nd like a good prize.
[05:10] <leagris> gordy_au, may be the first DNS answer no such host instead of serverfail
[05:10] <rubberducky> redcard: I can't see the folder
[05:10] <Flannel> Anguis: did you check the validityu of the CD itself? (the menu option on the CD)
[05:10] <rubberducky> redcard: only the computer on the network
[05:10] <redcard> rubberducky: Oh.. thought you said you could..
[05:11] <rubberducky> redcard: it sees the actual computer....but nothing on it
[05:11] <redcard> Hmm.. Try doing by the IP address?
[05:11] <Anguis> Does the alternate cd contain a full version? Will it allow me to test before instaling?
[05:11] <ward_> lol RAOF, any suggestions?
[05:11] <leagris> gordy_au, behaviour says check next DNS on serverfail but not on unknownhost
[05:11] <Flannel> Anguis: yes, and no. (respectively)
[05:11] <strabes> kupesoft: http://excito.com
[05:11] <rubberducky> how do I find the ip address of that computer from here?
[05:11] <rubberducky> Is there a way?
[05:11] <ward_> RAOF, this is how i compiled: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Install_Lirc_Feisty#head-a16ce36bda606b84aca7755980afb5999ba537b0
[05:11] <gordy_au> leagris: thanks i'll look into that
[05:11] <strabes> If my laptop already has a 1gb stick of 533mhz RAM should I buy a 2gb stick of 667mhz or 533mhz? Or does it even matter?
[05:11] <Beyond_The_Grave> Well, nevermind I guess I should be asking... How do I get WPA-PSK to work on ubuntu? I don't even see it as an option in System>Administration>Networking...
[05:11] <ward_> RAOF, on ubuntu 7.04 offcourse
[05:11] <calc> crimsun: hi :)
[05:11] <Anguis> Yes, I did try to check the validity, but it crashes every time.
[05:12] <Pelo> strabes, stick to the same mhz
[05:12] <redcard> rubberducky: You may be able to "ping" the computer name
[05:12] <strabes> Pelo: is there a specific reason?
[05:12] <gsosure> can anyone help me out with an issue, i have an ati video card and i'm running ubuntu + beryl and when i load the ati drivers beryl won't run.. any ideas?
[05:12] <leagris> gordy_au, some broadband gateways provide internal DNS proxy that are unefficient ad providing accurate answers.
[05:12] <crdlb> gsosure: #ubuntu-effects
[05:12] <RAOF> ward_: Sorry, no idea.
[05:12] <Pelo> strabes,  that's what I was told a long time ago
[05:12] <strabes> gsosure: fglrx doesn't support AIGLX. you have to use XGL
[05:13] <cyanics> gsosure have you tried starting beryl-manager?
[05:13] <ward_> RAOF, no problem i'll just try to recompile and do it all over
[05:13] <strabes> Pelo: ok, thanks though
[05:13] <redcard> rubberducky: Otherwise, I'm out of ideas.. typically it'd appear under the Windows Network in Nautilus.  My only other suggestion would be to try the forum
[05:13] <Beyond_The_Grave> How do I get WPA-PSK to work on ubuntu? I don't even see it as an option in System>Administration>Networking...
[05:13] <godlygeek> So, if i found something that i think is a bug (in this case, something in gnome-power-manager) and can point to a line in source that i believe to be wrong, is the proper etiquette to file a bug report and let someone else close it if they think i'm wrong?  :)
[05:13] <Anguis> How does the alternate cd differ in installation such that it would be successful where the normal version is not?
[05:13] <gsosure> yeah i have, the manager starts and says the effects are active, but none of them work
[05:13] <Smilez> Does anyone by chance know of a TV scheduling website that has RSS feeds?
[05:14] <Beyond_The_Grave> How do I get WPA-PSK to work on ubuntu? I don't even see it as an option in System>Administration>Networking...
[05:14] <godlygeek> Anguis: I believe the alt CD doesn't launch a live CD gui, just an installer.
[05:14] <Flannel> Anguis: theyre entirely different installatoin methods. Alt CD is textmode (no LiveCD)
[05:14] <Pelo> Anguis,  text based install will install the os allowing you to install the proper video drivers later
[05:14] <marlinth> well that didn't work
[05:14] <leagris> gordy_au, on a LAN nated behind such broadband boxes, the DHCP service provide the box's IP address as DNS service. Sometimes you may prefer using your internet providers provided DNS directly from LAN workstations or setting a real DNS srvice on the LAN for local stations and forwarding other requests to the providers DNS services.
[05:14] <marlinth> Apparently I can't use the evdev driver for my mouse
[05:14] <strabes> godlygeek: Anguis: that is true. they install the same thing though. I usually just get the alternate CD because i don't want to bother with loading the GUI becaues I already know all of my hardware works with linux
[05:15] <marlinth> How do I install new themes for ubuntu?
[05:15] <Smilez> Does anyone by chance know of a TV scheduling website that has RSS feeds?? anybody?
[05:15] <Beyond_The_Grave> Anybody know anything about WPA-PSK on Ubuntu?
[05:15] <Smilez> marlinth: http://gnomelook.org
[05:15] <marlinth> thank you smilez
[05:15] <Anguis> Thanks, folks - I'll give that a try.
[05:15] <non|inear> OK, in gparted i'm getting an error "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda5, missing codepage or other error."  this is my linux partition that i am on right now.  also had a grub error ww (no such partiotn) when trying to boot ubuntu.  how to fix thius?
[05:15] <redcard> strabes: I got the alt CD for my parents new machine :)  It's got OEM mode on it :)
[05:15] <crimsun> Beyond_The_Grave: using wpasupplicant directly or network-manager?
[05:15] <RAOF> Beyond_The_Grave: If you're using network-manager, it should Just Work (if, and only if, your driver supports it)
[05:15] <Smilez> marlinth: no problem. its all categorized. download it, save to desktop, extract, go to prefs>themes>add new
[05:16] <Jas1> I am a newbie here, and I'm trying to use the live cd, but I get and error that says "failed to start the X interface". Can anyone help?
[05:16] <strabes> redcard: nice one. i put ubuntu on my parents' computer as well.
[05:16] <neonimr> how to provide a username/password to my ethernet connection
[05:16] <Beyond_The_Grave> The Network manager preferibly
[05:16] <cyanics> Jas1, you probably don't have a supported video card, or a video configuration.
[05:16] <redcard> strabes: They love it.  I swear, when this thing is installed via OEM, it's beyond easy
[05:16] <gordy_au> leagris: thanks, its in a work enviroment. I need to use both dns servers. I think i may have found a work-around in nswitch
[05:16] <leagris> non|inear, the superblock for that partition may be broken. tryes fsck
[05:16] <non|inear> ok
[05:16] <non|inear> thnx
[05:16] <redcard> strabes: I just wish there was a way to generate a restore CD
[05:17] <Smilez> anybody: TV Scheduling site with RSS feeds?
[05:17] <Beyond_The_Grave> If I have to use wpa_supplicant, just tell in detail
[05:17] <Jas1> I have an ATI Radeon X1400?
[05:17] <strabes> redcard: just back up their home directory
[05:17] <strabes> Jas1: me too
[05:17] <Jas1> Do I have to setup a video configuration?
[05:17] <redcard> strabes: No, I mean like the OEMs give out.  Where you just put the CD in and reboot, and it acts like it's out of box
[05:17] <neonimr> how to provide a username/password to my ethernet connection
[05:17] <Beyond_The_Grave> RAOF?
[05:17] <cyanics> Jas1, what kind of monitor?
[05:18] <non|inear> leagris, how do i do that?  it tells me i can't run fsck on a mounted filesystem
[05:18] <Smilez> neonimr: You mean PPPoE? DSL?
[05:18] <FuzzplugJones> just installed fiesty on an HP Pavilion zv6315us.  When i tap my mousepad to click, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.  didn't do this in that *other* OS nobody likes... it's driving me crazy, help!
[05:18] <strabes> redcard: what's the difference between that and the live CD
[05:18] <Jas1> cyanics: it's a Dell laptop (inspiron 6400), 1280x800
[05:18] <cheeseboy> wheres eggdrop config ?
[05:18] <strabes> FuzzplugJones: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Synaptics_Touchpad
[05:18] <Beyond_The_Grave> OK, anybody else know about WPA-PSK or how to configure wpa_supplicant?
[05:19] <FuzzplugJones> thank you strabes
[05:19] <crimsun> Beyond_The_Grave: which driver are you using?
[05:19] <neonimr> Smilez: mmmmm.... DSL yeah
[05:19] <redcard> strabes: Well, all the manipulation and stuff I did after I installed the base OS and such.  You ever see OEM mode installs?
[05:19] <leagris> non|inear, unmount the partition. If it can't then either do that from the livecd or go to single mode by init 1 then mount -oremount,ro (readonly) the partition befor fsck
[05:19] <non|inear> yea, i can't burn any working CDs cause my burner sux
[05:19] <non|inear> heh
[05:19] <cyanics> Jas1, it might not recognize the screen resolution. try specifying the screen size in /etc/X11/xorg.conf as 1024x768
[05:19] <neonimr> Smilez: in windows they use the Cicso Clean agent
[05:19] <strabes> redcard: no. I just use the alternate CD every time
[05:19] <non|inear> ok
[05:19] <cheeseboy> eggrop config where?
[05:19] <Noonan> Tarkus, hey
[05:19] <strabes> redcard: don't want to bother with the GUI install.
[05:19] <strabes> don't need to
[05:20] <Beyond_The_Grave> Well, it recognizes my card (which is a ralink card), I just need to figure out why it won't let me choose WPA-PSK...
[05:20] <Smilez> neonimr: whats your dsl provider? and what dsl modem do you have?
[05:20] <crimsun> Beyond_The_Grave: oh, you mean n-m?
[05:20] <Smilez> neonimr: you don't have a router to handle the connection?
[05:20] <crimsun> Beyond_The_Grave: I generally avoid n-m.
[05:20] <Beyond_The_Grave> n-m?
[05:20] <Jas1> cyanics: how do I access /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[05:20] <Wiseguy> hey guys, what do i need to do to get my nvidia card fully working?
[05:20] <Wiseguy> with 3d and all
[05:20] <kandrews> Hi, is there a way to install the base system even if the cd drive fails? Can I configure the repositories from the install?
[05:20] <crimsun> Beyond_The_Grave: network-manager.
[05:20] <shigutso> how to make Desktop Effects work on ATI Video Card?
[05:20] <Flannel> !install | kandrews
[05:20] <ubotu> kandrews: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - See also !automate
[05:20] <Smilez> Wiseguy: Google -> "
[05:20] <neonimr> Smilez: i have a router , but it is a unveristy connection
[05:20] <crimsun> Beyond_The_Grave: I use the interfaces(5) method for wpa_supplicant.
[05:20] <redcard> strabes: Basically, it works like this.  It does the Alternate CD install, and then lets you use an account named "oem" to set up drivers, settings, the like.  Once you get done, you type "oem-config-prepare" and it removes the OEM account and on the next boot up asks the user for a time zone, language, user name, and password.
[05:20] <Smilez> sorry Wiseguy: Google -> "Envy nvidia script"
[05:20] <Beyond_The_Grave> Oh, well, I like to use it but, if I have to do something else that's fine, just be detailed
[05:20] <Tarkus> Noonan, yo, whats up?
[05:20] <Flannel> !nvidia | Wiseguy
[05:20] <ubotu> Wiseguy: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:20] <cyanics> Jas1, you should be able to do a <ctnl><alt><f1>
[05:21] <Beyond_The_Grave> How do you do that?
[05:21] <cyanics> Jas1, and get to the console.
[05:21] <Smilez> neonimr: why do you need pppoe on a university lan?
[05:21] <Noonan> Tarkus, nmnm
[05:21] <dsfsdf> sorry
[05:21] <dsfsdf> got disconnected
[05:21] <marlinth> please someone help me fix my (expletive deleted) mouse
[05:21] <dsfsdf> Smilez: did u say somehting
[05:21] <cyanics> Jas1, then just cd to "/etc/X11/" and vi xorg.conf
[05:21] <strabes> redcard: so you don't have problems with drivers and things especially with ATI cards that don't support the open source driver?
[05:21] <marlinth> every time I get into doing something it cuts out on me
[05:21] <redcard> strabes: Oh, I have the problems.
[05:21] <Smilez> Wiseguy: http://www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html <-- dont bother with built in Nvidia drivers
[05:21] <crimsun> Beyond_The_Grave: read /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/README.modes.gz
[05:22] <Smilez> dsfsdf: what was your question?
[05:22] <Noonan> Tarkus, i give u second ok
[05:22] <Jas1> cyanics: what should I enter to change the screen resolution values?
[05:22] <redcard> strabes: But they don't.. they just start it up, set their information, and then are presented with this nice neat OS , background , bookmarks, and collection of jpgs of their kids :)
[05:22] <dsfsdf> Smilez: did u say somehting
[05:22] <Smilez> Jas1: you got problems with resolution with nvidia drivers?
[05:22] <Smilez> dsfsdf: not sure, what was your question?
[05:22] <Jimdb> hey GURUs I have a question.  I have recently installed Adobe reader and want to use it instead of the "document viewer".  When I right click on a .pdf file and choose properties then go to the "open with" tab and I see the two programs available, I don't seem to be able to switch it from the default "document viewer" to the adobe reader.  how to i ensure it will allow me to make this change.
[05:22] <Smilez> oh my bad
[05:22] <carlos> hola
[05:23] <Smilez> yeah i asked why you need a l/p for pppoe on university lan?
[05:23] <Smilez> you've always had to? do you have a modem?
[05:23] <Tarkus> !permissions
[05:23] <Wiseguy> Smilez, so its better to use the drivers off nvidia.com than use the ones in synaptic?
[05:23] <Jas1> smilez: no I'm having trouble with live cd. I have ATI Radeon X1400
[05:23] <godlygeek> No one answered the first time, so I'll try once more:  If i found something that i think is a bug (in this case, something in gnome-power-manager) and can point to a line in source that i believe to be wrong, is the proper etiquette to file a bug report and let someone else close it if they think i'm wrong?  :)
[05:23] <Beyond_The_Grave> Ok, so what do I do with that? (and please understand now, I am VERY new to linux)
[05:23] <ubotu> 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
[05:23] <Smilez> Jas1: oh sorry...
[05:23] <dsfsdf> smiles: in windows they use cisco clean agent to authenticat with the a username ( univ. ID ) and a password
[05:23] <Smilez> Wiseguy: video drivers or mouse drivers?
[05:24] <redcard> godlygeek: Go ahead and file the bug report.. it'll get triaged from there.
[05:24] <Wiseguy> video drivers
[05:24] <Smilez> dsfsdf: let me see what can be done
[05:24] <Smilez> you might have to install cisco clean agent in wine
[05:24] <dsfsdf> oh shit
[05:24] <fwp> how do I boot with no vga?
[05:24] <godlygeek> redcard: works for me.
[05:24] <fwp> I added vga=no to my grub line but it doesn't seem to work
[05:24] <Smilez> dsfsdf: hold up... i found some forum posts on this exact topic
[05:24] <crimsun> Beyond_The_Grave: read it.  Use mode #2.
[05:25] <crimsun> Beyond_The_Grave: please do not query me unless I request it.
[05:25] <Tarkus> can someone send me a link to the file/folder permissions page on the ubuntu site. i cant find it atm..
[05:25] <Beyond_The_Grave> OK...
[05:25] <Tarkus> i need to see how to use chmod
[05:25] <Beyond_The_Grave> Anything else I might have to worry about?
[05:25] <redcard> godlygeek: If ya know , what line and all that, be descriptive ;)
[05:25] <crimsun> Beyond_The_Grave: nope.  If you have additional questions, feel free to ask.
[05:25] <godlygeek> I am almost 100% positive that the gnome-power-manager in feisty hibernates at a low battery percent when set to use time, and a low battery time remaining when set to use percent, heh
[05:25] <Beyond_The_Grave> OK ;)
[05:26] <godlygeek> redcard: Yeh, I'll point out the lines i think are wrong.. i think it's just a little logic error on one line.

[05:27] <Smilez> dsfsdf: If you don't already have Wine installed, go to applications -> Add/Remove software and install wine
[05:27] <Smilez> dsfsdf: then download the cisco clean agent, and get it installed
[05:27] <Phab> is anyone having a focus problem ?(new windows not being on top) and does someone how how to fix it?
[05:27] <Smilez> dsfsdf: its worth a shot... i tried google, but didn't seem to have too much info
[05:27] <LordTureis> phab: are you using beryl?
[05:28] <Phab> LordTureis, no i'm not using beryl or desktop effects (no for both)
[05:28] <Wiseguy> Smilez, do you know if that envy script will work for fesity fawn?
[05:28] <sanityx> Vistasux, we share you're sentiments but that nick is immature.
[05:28] <sanityx> your*
[05:28] <Phab> LordTureis, I am however using the NVIDIA RESTRICTED driver
[05:28] <Smilez> Wiseguy: I installed feisty, and envy, and swear by it
[05:28] <crdlb> Wiseguy: don't use it
[05:28] <Smilez> Wiseguy: prior to using envy, i couldnt go beyond 800x600, and now i got full functinoality
[05:28] <Smilez> crdlb: why do you say that?
[05:29] <crdlb> because it sucks
[05:29] <Phab> what is envy
[05:29] <sanityx> Smilez, Why is envy even necessary now
[05:29] <Prez> this is very strange, using x-chat in feisty, when I connect to undernet network eveyrthing is fine, as soon as aI join a channel, x-chat crashes completely
[05:29] <Smilez> it detects the proper hardware, and downloads the appropriate drivers
[05:29] <crdlb> the restricted manager works just fine and does it the right way
[05:29] <sanityx> Smilez, Feisty can get the driver on its own automatically
[05:29] <Wiseguy> crdlb, so just use the .run file from nvidia?
[05:29] <sanityx> Envy is now officially retarded, unless you MUST have the newest driver
[05:29] <Smilez> sanityx: when i installed feisty, i did it the normal way, and it wouldnt let me go beyond 800x600 with graphics card enabled
[05:29] <crdlb> Wiseguy: no
[05:29] <sanityx> Smilez, Strange.
[05:29] <crdlb> that's just as bad
[05:29] <Smilez> sanityx: in my case, it was necessary
[05:29] <Thatguy> How do I change the background when using compiz? Like when using the cube thing. I'm speaking of 7.04 of course.
[05:29] <sanityx> Smilez, Agreed.
[05:29] <Smilez> i ended up reinstalling about 3 times
[05:30] <crdlb> Wiseguy: system>administration>restricted manager
[05:30] <Smilez> before someone suggested envy
[05:30] <crdlb> after using the restricted manager you may want to upgrade to nvidia-glx-new
[05:30] <nomin> any mythtv users in here?  I'm only getting sound out of the left speaker.  Is the problem with mythtv or with the set recording source option?
[05:30] <crdlb> if you have at least a FX card
[05:30] <crdlb> but there's no need to
[05:30] <Wiseguy> ive got an 6200LE
[05:31] <Thatguy> hello?
[05:31] <Thatguy> any takers?
[05:31] <Wiseguy> crdlb, does that make the necessary changes to my xorg.conf as well?
[05:31] <crdlb> Wiseguy: yes
[05:31] <crdlb> it does everything
[05:32] <crdlb> that's why it's called the "restricted drivers manager"
[05:32] <Smilez> Thatguy: wish i knew
[05:32] <crdlb> Thatguy: do you mean the skydome?
[05:32] <Thatguy> yes
[05:32] <crdlb> !info gnome-compiz-manager | Thatguy

[05:33] <crdlb> you'll find it at system>preferences>gl desktop
[05:33] <Smilez> how do you even get compiz installed? Download the .deb?
[05:33] <crdlb> Smilez: it's included by default
[05:33] <Smilez> i had xgl/beryl in opensuse, but it sucked big time... super buggy
[05:34] <Smilez> crdlb: so its enabled when i turn on desktop effects? and is trans cube possible?
[05:34] <crdlb> Smilez: yes, and no
[05:34] <Thatguy> So I just type gnome-compiz-manager in the terminal to install it?
[05:34] <crdlb> Thatguy: no use a package manager
[05:34] <dsfsdf> smilez: oh all i needed is just rebooting
[05:34] <Thatguy> Oh,got it
[05:34] <Smilez> dsfsdf: hahah nice one :D
[05:34] <Smilez> crdlb: thats cool... the cube is slightly useless
[05:34] <dsfsdf> smilez: i get directed automatically to a login page
[05:34] <Smilez> and theres only so many times you can play with snow/rain/wiper blades
[05:35] <dsfsdf> smilez: no need for Cisco clean agent
[05:35] <Smilez> oh nice dsfsdf, thats what i thought
[05:35] <shigutso> how to make Desktop Effects work on ATI Video Card? (ubuntu 7.04)
[05:35] <Smilez> dsfsdf: when you first explained it, you made it seem like you had DSL (PPPoE)
[05:35] <crdlb> shigutso: #ubuntu-effects
[05:35] <dsfsdf> smilez: i think that agent is because windows is for dump people with trojans and all sorts of worms , but in linux it can detect from the web browser so all you need is just loging in
[05:35] <shigutso> crdlb, thanks :)
[05:36] <Smilez> dsfsdf: that very well may be the case... it knows theres nothing to worry about
[05:36] <dsfsdf> smilez: i never had dsl before ,so i thought it is the same as a t1 or so
[05:36] <Smilez> my girlfriend needed the same thing at boston college lan
[05:36] <dsfsdf> smilez: exactly
[05:37] <Smilez> dsfsdf: what school is that?
[05:37] <dsfsdf> smilez: linux rocks
[05:37] <dsfsdf> smilez: wayne state univ
[05:37] <Smilez> dsfsdf: I agree... I just wish it was ready to take on vista..... vista enrages me
[05:37] <Smilez> dsfsdf: tru tru

[05:42] <DigitalNinja> How do I get line in working?
[05:42] <Wiseguy> ummm crdlb this doesnt seem to have helped... it shows that the restricted 3d driver is in use, but the resolutions are screwy and so are the refresh rates... does let me go above 1024x768 or 50hz
[05:42] <megafauna> hi which key is the SUPER key pls?
[05:42] <|Zippo|> Vistasux: ctrl+s?
[05:43] <Smilez> crdlb: See what im saying....
[05:43] <troxor> megafauna: the corporate logo (windows) key, usually
[05:43] <megafauna> troxor: thanks!
[05:43] <crdlb> Wiseguy: did you use the restricted manager to enable it?
[05:43] <oscar> somebody can help me? I have troubles with Nautilus.. This can't work fine.. IF I open some directory the computer begin to work very slowly.. Somebody know if Nautilus can't work with some aplication?.. I upgrade the system to 6.10 but the problem continue...
[05:43] <DigitalNinja> I'm trying to use a voip phone app but the line in doesn't work. How do I get line in working?
[05:44] <Wiseguy> crdlb, yes
[05:44] <Smilez> Wiseguy: I had the same exact problem. I ended up reinstalling like 3 times (no joke) give Envy a try http://www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[05:44] <megafauna> troxor: thanks! it's finally snowing:D
[05:44] <crdlb> Wiseguy: then: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new
[05:44] <troxor> megafauna: np
[05:44] <Smilez> no offense to crdlb, but i believe his hardware worked right out of the box
[05:44] <etzerd> Hello all
[05:45] <neonimr> smilez: by the way
[05:45] <etzerd> how is the new version of ubuntu?
[05:45] <Smilez> yes neonimr
[05:45] <etzerd> great I guest
[05:45] <Smilez> etzerd: its nice
[05:45] <neonimr> smilez: that was Scientific Linux i am using (based on RHEL) not ubunt :)
[05:45] <Smilez> etzerd: though i came from opensuse 10.2
[05:45] <mikey_sd> a bit slow I thought
[05:45] <etzerd> Smilez: I heard about it
[05:46] <Smilez> neonimr: All good.... linux is linux in my opiniohn
[05:46] <Wiseguy> crdlb, does that get the newest nvidia driver?
[05:46] <Smilez> err opinion
[05:46] <neonimr> smilez: exactly
[05:46] <Smilez> choose your flavour accordingly
[05:46] <crdlb> Wiseguy: yes
[05:46] <crdlb> well almost the newest
[05:46] <Wiseguy> crdlb, and what do i do after i install it?
[05:46] <neonimr> Smilez: i have both actually
[05:46] <etzerd> Smilez: Me too. I came from Opensuse 10.2 it's crap
[05:46] <crdlb> Wiseguy: nothing
[05:46] <Smilez> yeah i hated it, super slow, I hate KDE
[05:46] <crdlb> just reboot
[05:46] <neonimr> Smilez: but i cant get the built in nVidia lan to work
[05:46] <Smilez> thats odd
[05:46] <Smilez> generic drivers wont work?
[05:47] <Smilez> its wired lan right? not wifi?
[05:47] <crdlb> Wiseguy: that's assuming you used the restricted manager to enable the driver
[05:47] <etzerd> I'm using Fedora Core 6 now, but I heard about the new ubuntu it seems I'm going to switch from Fedora to Ubuntu
[05:47] <neonimr> Smilez: yeah
[05:47] <Smilez> etzerd: what don't you like about fedora, before you switch to ubuntu?
[05:47] <sanityx> Smilez, how about broken packaging
[05:47] <neonimr> Smilez: i am using ubuntu 6.06,which is old (that is the cd they sent me)
[05:47] <etzerd> It take too much to install the codecs to play dvd
[05:47] <Smilez> sanityx: you dont like that? :D
[05:48] <crdlb> neonimr: you need feisty to use that
[05:48] <^punisher> hi
[05:48] <Frizz0> hi
[05:48] <neonimr> Smilez: and it seems the old kernel didnt have a good support for that nVidia driver
[05:48] <Smilez> etzerd: codecs will always be somewhat of an issue
[05:48] <etzerd> where ubuntu have a guide that you can just copy and paste
[05:48] <^punisher> good
[05:48] <TheUni9> sup?
[05:48] <Smilez> neonimr: weird dude
[05:48] <sanityx> Smilez, Well I PERSONALLY love figuring them out. But you know, other people might not :-P
[05:48] <TheUni9> out of interest
[05:48] <Frizz0> you tell me
[05:48] <etzerd> I know
[05:48] <Smilez> sanityx: heheh i hear you on that one :D
[05:48] <etzerd> but ubuntu make it easier to deal with
[05:48] <Smilez> sanityx: I miss my slackware
[05:48] <sanityx> Smilez, Hey, slackware rocks!
[05:48] <neonimr> so what happened to slackware
[05:49] <Smilez> i completely agree
[05:49] <ahh> erver irc.blackened.com
[05:49] <neonimr> did they name
[05:49] <Smilez> it was the first linux i got my hands on
[05:49] <neonimr> did they change name
[05:49] <Wiseguy> crdlb, still no good
[05:49] <etzerd> where Fedora don't give you a clue at all
[05:49] <sanityx> Smilez, as long as you read up on what dependancies a package has in slackware, and install those deps, its works just fine
[05:49] <crdlb> Wiseguy: did you reboot?
[05:49] <Wiseguy> yes
[05:49] <Smilez> yeah... i got tired it after this many years :)
[05:49] <crdlb> Wiseguy: now use nvidia-settings
[05:49] <Smilez> crdlb: can you just let him try envy :D
[05:49] <crdlb> no
[05:49] <sanityx> Smilez, The problem with slackware is that all the packages are like 5 years old. Its still only has apache 1.x
[05:49] <DigitalNinja> How do I record audio?
[05:49] <Smilez> crdlb: I'm telling you hes describing the exact same issue i had, and envy solved it in less than 3 minutes
[05:49] <sanityx> DigitallyStoned, You speak into a microphone.
[05:49] <crdlb> there's nothing envy does that's going to fix it
[05:49] <etzerd> Smilez: what operating system that you use?
[05:50] <Smilez> sanityx: yeah... its a shame... but thats what happens to distros
[05:50] <DigitalNinja> sanityx: It's not working
[05:50] <crdlb> telling someone to run envy is equivalent to telling them to run automatix
[05:50] <Smilez> etzerd: i went from opensuse 10.2 -> ubuntu 7.04
[05:50] <sanityx> DigitalNinja, I was just messing with you
[05:50] <Wiseguy> crdlb, is that a commandline tool?
[05:50] <DigitalNinja> oh
[05:50] <DigitalNinja> lol
[05:50] <crdlb> Wiseguy: no
[05:50] <DigitalNinja> :0
[05:50] <Smilez> crdlb: i dont think those are two in the same
[05:50] <Jas1> I am trying to run the live CD, but I receive a "Failed to start the X server". Can anyone help?
[05:50] <crdlb> they're not but they suck equally
[05:50] <Smilez> well.. it worked for me. so im a fan
[05:50] <etzerd> Smilez: do you ever tried Fedora at all?
[05:50] <Smilez> i understand its not the best way to go about it
[05:51] <sanityx> crdlb, no it isnt. envy installs one package. automatix brakes EVERYTHING :-D
[05:51] <Smilez> but it fixed my problems very quickly, while everything else i tried gave me a solid white screen, no Gnome, and i had to reinstall 3 times
[05:51] <crdlb> yes but the video drivers are really important :)
[05:51] <Smilez> etzerd: I tried Fedora at school... on a test machine... that was about it
[05:51] <Thegiver> hi, lets say I want to create a shortcut which opens up konsole (or any other terminal) and executes a command .. but the terminal window for it stays open so i can later close the terminal and force quit the program
[05:51] <Smilez> crdlb: im telling you man... envy will solve the riddle
[05:51] <etzerd> Wow
[05:51] <etzerd> meaning you don't like it at all
[05:51] <sanityx> Smilez, I used fedora on production servers BEFORE yum was integrated.
[05:51] <Smilez> i had the same exact problem. I couldn't go beyond 800x600 and 50Mhz
[05:52] <sanityx> It was impossible to manage Smilez
[05:52] <etzerd> ?
[05:52] <Smilez> sanityx: when it comes to servers, i run FreeBSD
[05:52] <sanityx> yum = apt for redhat
[05:52] <sanityx> Smilez, I don't run unix at all.
[05:52] <Smilez> etzerd: I liked it, but not enough for my home PC
[05:52] <sanityx> Smilez, Actually that isn't true. I run solaris on some servers.
[05:52] <Smilez> sanityx: I swear by FreeBSD
[05:52] <Smilez> i like solaris too, but this opensolaris is garbage
[05:52] <crdlb> Wiseguy: did you get nvidia-settings open?
[05:52] <sanityx> Smilez, I'm not saying FreeBSD is great. I'm just not sure it'll be around in 10 years. And I don't run opensolaris I run sol10
[05:52] <etzerd> I install both Gnome and KDE on my computer is it a good idea? or should I just install one meaning either Gnome or KDE
[05:52] <Smilez> crdlb: let me know when you're done with him :D
[05:53] <sanityx> isnt great rather
[05:53] <sanityx> I dont want to learn a dying operating system.
[05:53] <Smilez> etzerd: KDE is slow imo.... i like Gnome
[05:53] <etzerd> Smilez: what you mean by not enough for your home PC
[05:53] <Wiseguy> crdlb, yup
[05:53] <crdlb> Wiseguy: go to X server display configuration
[05:53] <Wiseguy> didnt end up in my Applications menu like i thought it would
[05:53] <Smilez> sanityx: solaris is very similar to unix... just minor differences.... and FreeBSD has been around a while, and theyre still updating and maintaining
[05:53] <kristopher> Hey, i have a question regarding installing arhieved version of the nvidia drivers
[05:53] <sanityx> Smilez, I know that  but come on less people use freebsd every year.
[05:53] <Wiseguy> what is the best way to restart X after i make my changes?
[05:54] <kristopher> that question is.. How do you do that.
[05:54] <sanityx> Smilez, solaris IS unix.
[05:54] <Smilez> etzerd: not sure really.... fedora just never really grabbed me... i guess im not a fan of redhat
[05:54] <sanityx> Smilez, and so is freebsd
[05:54] <crdlb> Wiseguy: ctrl+alt+bksp works
[05:54] <theilliniguy> Anyone use desklets?
[05:54] <Smilez> sanityx: you know what i meant
[05:54] <mikey_sd> desklets?
[05:54] <etzerd> Thanks Smilez.
[05:54] <Smilez> sanityx: and though less people use it per year, it doesn't mean it doesn't do its job properly
[05:54] <crdlb> Wiseguy: do you see a way to fix the resolution in nvidia-settings?
[05:54] <Smilez> etzerd: no problem
[05:54] <theilliniguy> mikey its like widgets
[05:54] <etzerd> It's late in New York now I have to go to bed
[05:54] <sanityx> Smilez, I get that. But if it dissapears, it wont be a very marketable skill.
[05:54] <Smilez> sanityx: I install everything from the source, and install all the deps manually
[05:54] <mikey_sd> ah
[05:54] <etzerd> Talk to you tomorrow guys
[05:55] <Jas1> is there any way to make a Dell laptop with ATI X1400 detect the monitor?
[05:55] <Smilez> sanityx: any skill in Unix/Linux is good on the resume
[05:55] <Smilez> later etzerd
[05:55] <sanityx> Smilez, Ah, I install everything using apt, because its easier to maintain
[05:55] <|Zippo|> Jas1: i'm trying to do this with my sony vaio
[05:55] <Smilez> sanityx: I do that now at home :D but for servers... its all FreeBSD
[05:55] <sanityx> Smilez, ubuntu: server edition :-D
[05:55] <darwin> When I install a new theme it does not appear under Themes
[05:55] <Smilez> BSD skills make Linux = cake :D
[05:55] <sanityx> Smilez, I will admit ubuntu server blows. But its going to get better.
[05:56] <|Zippo|> i've put my monitor in clone mode, but I use 1280x800 on notebook and my monitor it's not widescreen
[05:56] <Smilez> sanityx: freebsd is minimalistic, fast, and most secure os out of the box for a server... of course configuration is key as is any server
[05:56] <Jas1> zippo: I keep trying to run the live cd/install, but it can't load the X server, because its unable to detect the monitor. the support page doesn't say anything
[05:56] <Smilez> sanityx: the problem with getting comfortable with APT/Yum/ and other packages, is when something breaks... you sit aroudn scratching your head too long
[05:56] <gerzel> I am thinking of getting a pda what plays well with ubuntu?
[05:57] <Smilez> sanityx: instead of jumping into the dep hunting, and fixing the root of the problem
[05:57] <sanityx> Smilez, Yeah thats one thing I like about ubuntu server. Next to nothing is installed by default. Just the gnu userland tools and apt and thats about it
[05:57] <|Zippo|> Jas1: did you try ubuntu?
[05:57] <Smilez> gerzel: I have a Nokia N800, it runs Linux... plays well with other Linux flavours, and has tons of open source possibilities
[05:57] <sanityx> Smilez, I've never had dependencies brake on me, except in fedora.
[05:57] <|Zippo|> Jas1: recognized all my hardware, including my webcam
[05:57] <Smilez> sanityx: my point was.... at somepoint... in a server environment... things will break
[05:58] <sanityx> Smilez, True
[05:58] <Smilez> sanityx: and the more comfortable they make the admins... the more they turn into windows admins
[05:58] <sanityx> Eww.
[05:58] <Smilez> sanityx: next thing you know, you got 16 year old kids with 1 book saying "I are a netadmin in leetnux sucka"
[05:58] <Smilez> sanityx: the easier they make it... the closer it gets to windows.....
[05:58] <sanityx> Smilez, Eh.
[05:59] <Smilez> Wiseguy: you still in here? Hows the nvidia driver install going?
[05:59] <sanityx> Smilez, I don't agree. Because the system works in a fundementally different manner.
[05:59] <sanityx> You can't argue that making linux easier to use is a bad thing.
[05:59] <sanityx> If you want things hard, go back to slackware :-P
[05:59] <Smilez> sanityx: on the desktop, I agree... ease of use is for the better... but in a server environment... i want an admin to use his terminal skills... not his mouse
[06:00] <sanityx> Smilez, Well of course. I never install X on a sever, unless its for a specific purpose.
[06:00] <Smilez> sanityx: you don't.... but others???
[06:00] <sanityx> Smilez, I don't care about others :-P
[06:00] <phy2> ...as long as the front ends are just manipulating text config files, it won't be windows
[06:00] <Smilez> sanityx: heheh... you should... they might give you a bad rap one day :D
[06:00] <sanityx> I r t3h l33t hax0r admin!
[06:00] <Jas1> does anyone know how to make the ATI Radeon X1400 detect the monitor?
[06:00] <sanityx> :-P
[06:00] <Smilez> hahaha
[06:01] <sanityx> Feisty has been a godsend for my laptop.
[06:01] <Smilez> sanityx: i agree, i really like feisty
[06:01] <fxfitz> With Ubuntu (Feisty), I've realized a significant decrease in battery life (more than an hour shorter than Windows). Is there any thing I can do to help this?
[06:01] <sanityx> I don't have to dive into wpa_supplicant every time I want to connect to a new network.
[06:01] <sanityx> wpa_supplicant is the most half arsed sollution to WPA i've ever seen
[06:01] <sanityx> it shouldnt be that complicated.
[06:01] <sanityx> and now its not :-D
[06:01] <Smilez> fxfitz: its one of the drawbacks of the OS...
[06:02] <gerzel> 2nd question I am also thinking of getting a graphics tablet what plays well with Ubuntu?  Wacom?
[06:02] <sanityx> fxfitz, That's strange. I've noticed about the same battery life.
[06:02] <fxfitz> Smilez, Drawbacks of Ubuntu? Or of Feisty? Or of Linux in general?
[06:02] <sanityx> gerzel, There are wacom drivers for linux.
[06:02] <Smilez> sanityx: luckily for me i don't need that :D but i had an easy time on another pc using Ndiswrapper for my BT chip wifi card
[06:02] <sanityx> gerzel, There hve been for year.
[06:02] <Smilez> fxfitz: linux in general
[06:02] <crdlb> gutsy will have a tickless kernel
[06:02] <sanityx> Smilez, Yeah I use ndiswrapper as well.
[06:02] <crdlb> which will help hugely
[06:02] <sanityx> Smilez, I haven't noticed less battery life.
[06:02] <crdlb> in battery life
[06:03] <sanityx> I recently deleted my windows partition :-D
[06:03] <Smilez> sanityx: im running this on a desktop... so im not sure... but i did read about problems with battery on some laptops
[06:03] <sanityx> Not mine, I get 4.5 - 5 hours.
[06:03] <jenocin> hey people, i'm braindead right now, where's the setting to start/stop gdm on boot, i'm used to runlevel 3/5
[06:03] <fxfitz> Blah. I get an hour and ten minutes! :'(
[06:03] <sanityx> fxfitz, What kind of CPU, and how many cells is your battery.
[06:04] <guhhh> how can i add a new keyboard layout?
[06:04] <sanityx> guhhh, Fairly certain you can apt-cache search them
[06:04] <boubbin> !flash
[06:04] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[06:04] <fxfitz> sanityx, Err... I'm sorry, I really have no idea. I'm new to Ubuntu and Linux in general.
[06:04] <gerzel> ok cool
[06:04] <sanityx> fxfitz, You dont know what kind of processor your laptop has?
[06:04] <fxfitz> sanityx, Is there any nice commands that I could use to figure it out? :-P
[06:04] <fxfitz> sanityx, Well, that I know: Intel Core Duo
[06:04] <sanityx> fxfitz, A pentium 4? a core duo? a turion?
[06:05] <sanityx> fxfitz, Ah. You should get way more than 1 hour then.
[06:05] <jryer> Hello all... How do I format my usb hard drive in ubuntu?
[06:05] <fxfitz> But I have no idea bout the battery.
[06:05] <Smilez> i had a pentium 4 once.... i think it burned a whole thru my pants
[06:05] <sanityx> fxfitz, Unless its like a 4 cell battery
[06:05] <sanityx> Smilez, I had a P4 laptop for 1 week. It got 45 minutes of battery life.
[06:05] <Jas1> how do I detect the monitor with an ATI X1400?
[06:05] <Smilez> hahaha..... p4 on a laptop should have been aborted
[06:05] <fxfitz> Hehe
[06:05] <Druntar> .....:*(
[06:05] <sanityx> Cuz they actually used the desktop CPU in laptops.
[06:05] <fxfitz> So any idea whats wrong here? :(
[06:05] <Smilez> yep
[06:06] <sanityx> fxfitz, Is the battery old
[06:06] <guerrillawon> My webcam is up and running, I was just wondering if anyone knew how to check where the video is loacted, like, /dev/usb0 or something similiar?
[06:06] <Smilez> fxfitz: sorry buddy... i got no ideas
[06:06] <sanityx> fxfitz, are you running like 10 virtual machines?
[06:06] <underzr0> Why was i in the Kubuntu channel?
[06:06] <guerrillawon> Or more accurately which device locationg ubuntus recieving the video from.
[06:06] <yetiman> ls
[06:06] <LtL> guerrillawon - try /dev/video0
[06:06] <yetiman> ls
[06:06] <crdlb> I have a 9-cell, that I just replaced because it was down to about 45 minutes after 2 years of use
[06:06] <Smilez> underzr0: are you using konversation?
[06:06] <sanityx> wow
[06:06] <underzr0> yes
[06:07] <Jas1> What is the difference between ubuntu and kubuntu?????
[06:07] <underzr0> it comes set with it
[06:07] <sanityx> Jas1, Ubuntu uses gnome. Kubuntu uses kde
[06:07] <fxfitz> sanityx, I bought the laptop in August of last year (Dell e1505) and no, no virtual machines. The programs I run: xchat, gaim, Open Office, Firefox, Terminal, emacs, and XGL (except that is quite new and the battery life suxed before I got it working)
[06:07] <guerrillawon> Ltl thanks
[06:07] <sanityx> fxfitz, I donnu man.
[06:07] <Smilez> underzr0: konversation  defaults to Kubuntu because it prefers KDE
[06:07] <jryer> Do you (or anyone out there) know how to format a usb hard drive? I see no option to do this in ubuntu.
[06:07] <underzr0> Whoever thou uses Kde is cursed with a never ending curse!
[06:07] <fxfitz> :'(
[06:07] <sanityx> fxfitz, Core and Core 2 cpus normally get great battery life.
[06:07] <Smilez> hahaha
[06:08] <underzr0> it be true!
[06:08] <Jas1> my computer is hopeless.
[06:08] <underzr0> so is mine
[06:08] <guerrillawon> Or I m sorry.
[06:08] <sanityx> My computer rocks.
[06:08] <fxfitz> Yeah, it really sucks having an hour and ten minute battery life since most of my classes are and hour and twenty five minutes
[06:08] <ubrnub> will flashplayer work in 64-bit ubuntu (amd 64-bit processor)?
[06:08] <Druntar> System : Intel pentium D 3 Ghz, asus p5nsli mobo, dual nvidia 7600 GS with 526mb, logitech g15 keyboard, logitech g5 mouse. Using Ubuntu Feisty. Mouse randomly stops working. Stops system from rebooting properly. Must press button on tower.
[06:08] <Smilez> sanityx: hahah.... proud parent? :D
[06:08] <sanityx> Smilez, Turion 64 X2 (dual core) 1.6 Ghz, 2gb ram, 256 MB video card.
[06:09] <Jas1> my computer is good, but my video card is mest and ubuntu can't find a montior!
[06:09] <Druntar> Can anyone help me fix it?
[06:09] <godtvisken> Can I record sound from my USB mic? It works fine in skype, but i can't seem to record in audacity
[06:09] <sanityx> godlygeek, You need to find a way to tell audacity which audio recording device to use.
[06:09] <mikey_sd> time for a cocktail..anyone else?
[06:09] <sanityx> godlygeek, Skype is very good about that.
[06:09] <crdlb> ubrnub: not without some hackery
[06:09] <Smilez> nice. I went the intel route. 915D dual core 2.8ghz, 2gb ddr2, 256 geforce
[06:09] <crdlb> there's no 64bit version
[06:09] <crimsun> sanityx: godtvisken.
[06:09] <sanityx> Smilez, 2.8ghz cpu?
[06:09] <sanityx> in a laptop?
[06:09] <Smilez> desktop
[06:09] <crdlb> so you have to use nspluginwrapper or 32bit firefox
[06:09] <sanityx> ah yeah
[06:09] <sanityx> well
[06:09] <sanityx> Intel is 10x better
[06:09] <sanityx> but
[06:09] <Smilez> i had to give my laptop back to my school :D
[06:09] <sanityx> AMD is a bit cheaper still.
[06:10] <sanityx> And I'm a poor college student
[06:10] <ubrnub> crdlb: ok, thanks (just what i thought)...
[06:10] <Smilez> had i owned it, i woulda gone AMD
[06:10] <sanityx> Nah.
[06:10] <Jas1> is nvidia or ATI better?
[06:10] <Druntar> anyone?
[06:10] <sanityx> Core 2 Duos OWN Turions
[06:10] <Smilez> sanityx: tell me about it.... i just graduated, and im moving to san francisco with my GF... ima be brokeeee
[06:10] <crdlb> Jas1: for new cards, nvidia
[06:10] <sanityx> Jas1, For linux nvidia is way better.
[06:10] <crdlb> for much older cards, ati
[06:10] <sanityx> For windows, doesn't matter that much
[06:10] <ubrnub> crdlb: would it work with 32-bit firefox?
[06:10] <crdlb> and for cheap: intel
[06:10] <Jas1> dell sent me a replacement computer, and they took out the nvidia and put in ATI.
[06:11] <sanityx> Jas1, ATI SUCKS for linux.
[06:11] <sanityx> I should now.
[06:11] <sanityx> know*
[06:11] <sanityx> I have ati.
[06:11] <crdlb> not all ati
[06:11] <gerzel> hmm anyone used a palm tx with ubuntu?
[06:11] <Jas1> me too, it can't find the monitor
[06:11] <crdlb> old ati works great
[06:11] <sanityx> gerzel, I've used a treo
[06:11] <gerzel> anyone used one at all?
[06:11] <gerzel> I know palm in general works with linux
[06:11] <sanityx> gerzel, Your problem is you need to modprobe two additional modules to get palm sync to work
[06:11] <crdlb> ubrnub: yes but I don't know anything about how
[06:11] <sanityx> gerzel, I'll let you know what they are hold on
[06:12] <Smilez> real quick before i go... Anyone know of a website that has RSS feeds for Television programming?
[06:12] <Pelo> gerzel, state your issue, you're more likely to get an answer to your problem
[06:12] <crdlb> it's a pain
[06:12] <ubrnub> crdlb: ok, and thanks again
[06:12] <borgista> Question/Problem: My Optical Drives are detected but they don't detect a Blank CD-R.
[06:12] <sanityx> gerzel, modprobe usbserial and modprobe visor
[06:12] <gerzel> Oh no!  Sorry I'm looking to buy something to work with my system, not looking to get something working
[06:12] <sanityx> gerzel, then sync.
[06:12] <sanityx> gerzel, Ah ok.
[06:13] <leandro> Hi I am using Ubuntu edgy and I am unable to boot my client because he can't mount my nfs. But I am sure my nfs kernel server is running. Any ideas?
[06:13] <guerrillawon> Or I'm sorry, I asked the wrong question. I am getting a streamed webcam and was wondering where it is coming from, I'd ultimately like to be ablke to broadcast it from my computer to my pda.
[06:13] <Pelo> borgista,  did you enable it in menu > system > prefs > removable media ... ?
[06:13] <guerrillawon> So I need the incoming webcam information.
[06:13] <leandro> sorry, I mean I am using ltsp on ubuntu edgy
[06:13] <borgista> Yes, Pelo
[06:13] <guerrillawon> And was hoping someone would know how to locate it.
[06:13] <EADG> How do I umount with this error?  fusermount: failed to unmount /media/music: Device or resource busy
[06:13] <lord_daemon> [al4nc4ds]  x;)
[06:13] <Druntar> System : Intel pentium D 3 Ghz, asus p5nsli mobo, dual nvidia 7600 GS with 526mb, logitech g15 keyboard, logitech g5 mouse. Using Ubuntu Feisty. Mouse randomly stops working. Stops system from rebooting properly. Must press button on tower. Can anyone please help me fix this problem?
[06:13] <borgista> Pelo: it's set to automount anything
[06:13] <Pelo> borgista,  do you have the correct command to start the prog ?
[06:14] <borgista> Pelo: well I'm using the launcher in the menu to launch GnomeBaker to burn a CD.
[06:14] <tidrion_> question about fiesty fawn, installed it, was really excited about the update to the network admin, trying to connect to my wap router and can't even find it as an option I updated from dapper, any ideas?
[06:14] <Pelo> borgista,  that app I directed you to  has a switch in it to start a prog when blank media is mounted
[06:15] <crdlb> tidrion_: the network admin hasn't changed much, the change is the inclusion of network manager
[06:15] <LtL> EADG - are you in that dir [pwd]  or have it open? umount wont work that way.
[06:15] <borgista> Pelo: all the "ticks" are marked off, so I'd assume all should 'just work' as it did in Edgy.
[06:15] <crdlb> which is completely separate
[06:15] <wizard_> crimsun: hey are you here?
[06:15] <Pelo> borgista, just reviewing the basic
[06:15] <borgista> Pelo: ok, thanks :-)
[06:16] <tidrion_> before (in dapper) I could see my wireless but not connect
[06:16] <tidrion_> now in fawn I can't even see it
[06:16] <EADG> LtL
[06:16] <tidrion_> any thoughts?
[06:16] <crdlb> tidrion_: do you have the network manager tray icon?
[06:16] <tidrion_> yes
[06:16] <tidrion_> shows no wireless networks
[06:16] <godtvisken> Can I record sound from my USB mic? It works fine in skype, but i can't seem to record in audacity
[06:16] <EADG> LtL: yes, there was a program in that dir. Thanks.
[06:16] <crdlb> I don't know then
[06:16] <tidrion_> I can hit 8 from my other box
[06:17] <crdlb> what chipset?
[06:17] <tidrion_> is there anyway to change the 802.11 card prefs
[06:17] <tidrion_> crdlb: Where do I find that?
[06:17] <compilerwriter> wizard I haven't seen crimsun all night.
[06:17] <Jas1> is there a command or something I can use for ubuntu to recognize my monitor, since my ATI X1400 can't?
[06:17] <crdlb> tidrion_: lspci|grep Ethernet
[06:18] <Pelo> Jas1, just add the rez you need manualy in xorg.conf
[06:18] <wizard_> compilerwriter: that sucks
[06:18] <tidrion_> 00:12.0 Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6102 [Rhine-II]  (rev 78)
[06:18] <tidrion_> is that my wired card?
[06:18] <crdlb> yes
[06:18] <Jas1> pelo: I don't know how to access xorg.cong
[06:18] <crdlb> there should be another
[06:18] <guerrillawon> How to I check incoming internet connections?
[06:18] <compilerwriter> Don't I know it.  I finally gave up and did a total reinstall to fix my issue.
[06:18] <tidrion_> hmm
[06:18] <crdlb> or ubuntu doesn't see it at all
[06:18] <Pelo> Jas1,   gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:18] <lord_daemon> [01:18:30]  <Jas1> pelo: I don't know how to access xorg.cong
[06:19] <lord_daemon> xorg.conf
[06:19] <tidrion_> BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN
[06:19] <tidrion_> from the device manager
[06:19] <crdlb> tidrion_: oh it's broadcom
[06:19] <Pelo> lord_daemon,  I understood which file he meant
[06:19] <crdlb> they don't identify themselves in lspci right
[06:19] <Jas1> pelo: I don't have ubuntu installed, I'm trying to use the live disk/install it
[06:19] <crdlb> tidrion_: sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter
[06:19] <crdlb> then reboot
[06:20] <wizard_> i am sure that this question is gonna get me flamed
[06:20] <wizard_> any ideas why linux is slow on myspace?
[06:20] <Pelo> Jas1, same would apply   crtl alt backspace to restart X once you've saved the edits
[06:20] <wizard_> windows w/ firefox handles myspace pages fine... linux feels like its about to explode.
[06:20] <crdlb> wizard_: because flash on linux sucks
[06:20] <borgista> wizard_: flash
[06:20] <C> hello folks, just installed ubuntu..
[06:20] <wizard_> crdlb: i thought that it was fixed with the flash 9 release?
[06:20] <crdlb> no it just sucks less
[06:20] <Jas1> yes, but once I boot from CD, it brings be to a menu. how do I access the xorg.conf from there?
[06:20] <C> got my bluetooth enabled YAY, so its off to learning the ropes now.
[06:20] <crdlb> but it still is terrible
[06:20] <Pelo> C welcome to the madhouse
[06:20] <wizard_> lol
[06:20] <tidrion_> brb
[06:20] <Wiseguy> hey guys, amarok keeps crashing saying it has no mp3 support, does anyone know what i need to install to stop this?
[06:20] <wizard_> sucks less, love it
[06:21] <borgista> Pelo: any other ideas on why my drives ARE detected but no cd-r's?
[06:21] <C> p.s running an OS without a mouse is interesting, esp when u'v never used the OS before :O
[06:21] <Jas1> pelo: yes, but once I boot from CD, it brings be to a menu. how do I access the xorg.conf from there?
[06:21] <Pelo> !mp3 > Wiseguy  check your pm window for a msg from ubotu
[06:21] <borgista> Wiseguy: sudo apt-get install libxine-extracodecs
[06:22] <Pelo> borgista, not realy,  I assume you have tried several cd to make sure it wasn't one borked one
[06:22] <borgista> Yeah, I have Pelo
[06:22] <guerrillawon> Does anyone know how I would check incoming internet connections? I'm trying to find the infor for a webcam I am receiving.
[06:22] <guerrillawon> I'm sure it is a simple terminal command that is evading my searches.
[06:22] <crdlb> Wiseguy: so what happened with your nvidia card?
[06:22] <Pelo> Jas1, you can'T from the boot menu,  you boot into the live cd, make the edit and then restart X wihch restarts the window manager but not the computer or the os
[06:23] <borgista> Oh I wish I could burn CDs... ::sigh::
[06:23] <LtL> guerrillawon - netstat -tunap
[06:23] <Pelo> borgista, and itworks in other OS ? and it reads cd fine ?
[06:23] <Wiseguy> crdlb, oh sorry, i thought i told you... works great it seems, no problems, thanks a bunch for your help... even my tv was detected
[06:23] <borgista> It used to work in EDGY, just fine...before the update.
[06:23] <godtvisken> Can I record sound from my USB mic? It works fine in skype, but i can't seem to record in audacity (and sound recorder gives an error)
[06:23] <guerrillawon> again thank you very much ltl
[06:23] <borgista> I did a clean install of Feisty.
[06:23] <Pelo> borgista,  do you mean you can'T burn cd at all ? I thought you were just complaiing that it didn' auto start
[06:23] <C> so guys, whats the best IRC app to use.
[06:24] <crdlb> C: xchat is a popular choice
[06:24] <C> i grabbed xchat because i had heard of it...but im not liking not being able to see the user list easily
[06:24] <borgista> Pelo: I can't burn a CD because the CD-RW drive doesn't detect when I put a disk in there
[06:24] <crdlb> I like xchat-gnome myself
[06:24] <Pelo> borgista, check the device manager  and make sure the cdrw is recognised properly
[06:24] <crdlb> C: you got xchat-gnome
[06:24] <Jas1> pelo: when I boot into live cd, it starts loading, then the error message "failed to start the X server" appears. I then end up with a command prompt. what do I type here to open the config file?
[06:24] <crdlb> not xchat
[06:24] <borgista> C: try pidgin (formerly gaim)
[06:24] <C> yea, i have x-chat-gnome
[06:24] <crdlb> C: in xchat the userlist is in the sidebar
[06:24] <crdlb> C: get the real xchat
[06:24] <C> yea..i have to click to expand..
[06:24] <Pelo> Jas1,  ahhhh,  not the same thing at all
[06:24] <C> how do i get the "REAL XCHAT"
[06:24] <C> :)
[06:24] <borgista> Pelo: I'll check
[06:24] <crdlb> C install xchat
[06:25] <C> and what adv does it have
[06:25] <Pelo> Jas1,  try  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-conf
[06:25] <crdlb> C: I personally like xchat-gnome, but xchat has more features and configurability
[06:25] <wizard_> i swear to you my harddrive gets hotter in linux
[06:25] <crdlb> it has the userlist on the side like you want
[06:25] <crdlb> !info xchat | C
[06:25] <ubotu> c: xchat: IRC client for X similar to AmIRC. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.8.0-0ubuntu4 (feisty), package size 295 kB, installed size 796 kB
[06:25] <crdlb> !info xchat-gnome | C
[06:25] <ubotu> c: xchat-gnome: a new frontend to the popular X-Chat IRC client. In component main, is optional. Version 1:0.16-0ubuntu3 (feisty), package size 305 kB, installed size 784 kB
[06:25] <Jas1> pelo: what do I do after that?
[06:26] <C> i see..
[06:26] <Pelo> Jas1, follow the instructions,  when in doubt go with the default
[06:26] <borgista> Pelo: all seems fine in the "device manager"
[06:26] <troxor> 3D/q
[06:26] <sanityx> Man why hasn't anybody built a kickarse torrent client for linux yet
[06:26] <Jas1> pelo: ok, thanks for your help
[06:26] <Pelo> wizard_,   I swear  my comp is generaly running hotter in feisty then in edgy or dapper
[06:26] <borgista> sanityx: Have you tried Deluge?
[06:26] <Quixotic> Hi everyone I'm a new ubuntu user. Converted from windows cold turkey yesterday
[06:26] <C> im trying to find the common, or creme de le creme apps for shit i used in windows...so that i dont feel lost :)
[06:26] <wizard_> linux makes my harddrive mble to roast marshmellows
[06:26] <RAOF> sanityx: Because people think they already have :P
[06:27] <Pelo> Jas1,  if that doesn't work you might have to resort to the alternate isnstall cd
[06:27] <sanityx> borgista, Yeah. Its alright.
[06:27] <wizard_> in windows the thing idles nice and cool
[06:27] <crdlb> !ohmy | C
[06:27] <ubotu> C: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[06:27] <wizard_> linux it feels ready to explode
[06:27] <C> i had things like winamp etc, and codecs and such, and a nice dvd/cd program etc etc
[06:27] <C> LOL
[06:27] <sanityx> borgista, Nowhere near as goot as utorrent
[06:27] <Jas1> pelo: how do I get one of those?
[06:27] <C> p.s. utorrent is amazing :)
[06:27] <borgista> you can use utorrent with wine
[06:27] <crdlb> rtorrent is king
[06:27] <borgista> sanityx: you can use utorrent with wine.
[06:27] <sanityx> borgista, I know that but running it with wine is lame.
[06:27] <Pelo> borgista,  check the forum
[06:27] <borgista> i know.
[06:27] <Flannel> sanityx: bittornado
[06:27] <C> yea, i want something native.
[06:27] <Quixotic> is utorrent better then azureus ?
[06:27] <sanityx> Flannel, Isn't that a curses client
[06:27] <C> whats the best native torrent app
[06:27] <underzr0> YES
[06:27] <sanityx> Quixotic, Yes.
[06:27] <C> YES, much better quix
[06:28] <Pelo> !alternate > Jas1  check your pm window for a msg from ubotu
[06:28] <sanityx> Azuerus is essentially uTorrent: Bloat Edition
[06:28] <Quixotic> I've always used azureus on windows and I just recently setup linux yesterday so I just went and got azureus again.
[06:28] <Flannel> sanityx: it's curses, and GUI, and headless.  Yes.
[06:28] <sanityx> Flannel, I'll check it out
[06:28] <Pelo> Quixotic,  utorrent uses a lot less resources then azureus,  even running on wine
[06:28] <C> is azureus any more efficient on linux?
[06:28] <wizard_> azureus is okay if you odn't mind the resource hogging
[06:28] <wizard_> k-torrent has come along nicely
[06:28] <borgista> C: I find it's the same
[06:28] <wizard_> i wish there was a gnome equivilent of that
[06:28] <sanityx> C azureus is FAR WORSE on linux then it is on windows
[06:28] <C> eww.
[06:28] <sanityx> C much less stable.
[06:28] <borgista> I love using Deluge
[06:28] <inoex135> i try to remove my tomcat but i got this error message "subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 127
[06:28] <inoex135> "
[06:28] <C> no bueno
[06:28] <dools> where are the powerpc versions for ubuntu? the download page has changed and i can't find them anymore
[06:28] <inoex135> aarrgghh
[06:28] <Flannel> sanityx: it's already installed, in a terminal, "bt[tab] [tab] " to see the various options.  (and double clicking a torrent file in nautilus brings it up)
[06:28] <C> so whats the native torrent prog of choice
[06:28] <inoex135> how can i fix it?
[06:29] <Vistasux> whats the apache configuration file called?
[06:29] <Pelo> wizard_,   deluge torrent is comming along but not upthere yet
[06:29] <wizard_> yeah is there a ktorrent for linux?
[06:29] <Quixotic> hey guys sorry for the silly question but I am using x chat for the first time is it possible to view a user list of who is in the chat room. I dont see any type of list.
[06:29] <sanityx> Flannel, oh yeah I know that client.
[06:29] <inoex135> somebody?
[06:29] <wizard_> ktorrent for gnome*
[06:29] <sanityx> Flannel, how do i get a gtk gui for it though
[06:29] <C> gnome is the default for ubuntu no?
[06:29] <sanityx> ah the  bittornado-gui
[06:29] <sanityx> C gnome is yes.
[06:29] <turiessia> hii
[06:29] <sanityx> C if you want KDE get Kubuntu
[06:29] <borgista> C: yes, and KDE is for Kubuntu
[06:29] <Pelo> Quixotic,  it 's probably just hidden,  mouse over the left and right edges
[06:29] <C> whats the pro's cons to KDE v gnome
[06:30] <turiessia> hiiiiiii
[06:30] <C> i know this is like a coke pepsi debate.but just curious
[06:30] <RAOF> C: Gnome is cool, KDE is crap :P
[06:30] <dools> C: use xubuntu
[06:30] <turiessia> jiooooooooooo
[06:30] <wizard_> now now
[06:30] <dools> xfce4 is better than either
[06:30] <Flannel> dools: PPC isn't supported as of Feisty, but you can get a community supported port here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/feisty/release/
[06:30] <tonyyarusso> turiessia: Do you have a question?
[06:30] <inoex135> i try to remove my tomcat but i got this error message "subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 127
[06:30] <crdlb> RAOF: KDE is krap :)
[06:30] <C> ive heard xubuntu is nice n lite
[06:30] <wizard_> desktop environments are totally subjective
[06:30] <Quixotic> Pelo, I don't see it hidden not much places it looks like it cna hide.
[06:30] <borgista> C: it's all personal choice...try both
[06:30] <wizard_> to each their own, elitests shut up
[06:30] <C> :)
[06:30] <C> whats the adv of xfc
[06:30] <C> ?
[06:30] <wizard_> C: xfce is great for machines that don't have a lot of resources to go around
[06:30] <wizard_> or for someone who likes their gui extremely streamlined
[06:31] <C> ah, very lite
[06:31] <dools> C: it's faster than either and doesn't try to do anything a window manager shouldn't
[06:31] <Pelo> Quixotic,  play around with the display option it will reapear when stuff gets resze ( and I mean play )
[06:31] <C> so xfc is whats in xubuntu?
[06:31] <dools> C: yep
[06:31] <wizard_> C: yes
[06:31] <crdlb> xfce
[06:31] <C> so whats the audio app of choice
[06:31] <Jas1> How does the minimal install CD work if I boot off of it, and my network card drivers haven't loaded yet?
[06:31] <wizard_> C: thats subjective
[06:31] <C> i use to use winamp, so thats my style..lite...features..etc
[06:31] <sanityx> Flannel, bittornado's gui is lame.
[06:31] <dools> Flannel: how difficult is it to switch window managers in ubuntu after you've installed it?
[06:31] <wizard_> C: banshee is nice in gnome, amarok in kde
[06:32] <dools> C: xmms
[06:32] <wizard_> those are the two most common
[06:32] <sanityx> Flannel, You need a seperate window for each torrent. its no better then the default gui torrent ubuntu has
[06:32] <C> banshee?
[06:32] <Flannel> sanityx: no, it's functional.  It downloads torrents, why do you want fancy dials and knobs and flashy things?
[06:32] <borgista> C: I prefer rhythmbox
[06:32] <Quixotic> I;m going to go blind in no time flat at this resolution and font
[06:32] <RAOF> !info banshee > C
[06:32] <Flannel> sanityx: bittornado IS the default torrent ubuntu has
[06:32] <Pelo> Quixotic,  change it
[06:32] <dools> C: check out Streamtuner, it's a nice app for tuning into shoutcast servers
[06:32] <sanityx> Flannel, yes but the bittornado-gui package is different from the default gui for it
[06:32] <sanityx> Flannel, I want a client that can display a list of downloaded torrents.
[06:32] <sanityx> Flannel, in ONE window.
[06:32] <Flannel> sanityx: but, the curses ones are more flexible. yo can do more than one, etc.
[06:32] <C> hmm, is stream tuner effective as an mp3 player..not jus a streamer?
[06:32] <Jas1> Can someone explain how the minimal install CD works?
[06:33] <sanityx> Flannel, In one window/terminal?
[06:33] <borgista> C: it's not an mp3 player
[06:33] <Flannel> sanityx: yeah, btlaunchmany
[06:33] <sanityx> Jas1, It installs a basic system and downloads the other pacakges from the net
[06:33] <dools> C: it's a streamtuner, i use xmms as an audio player
[06:33] <Flannel> Jas1: it doesn't.  THe minimal CD gets all the packages from the interblags
[06:33] <leandrobianch> what up
[06:33] <sanityx> Flannel, Interesting. But for torrents ill take gtk thanks
[06:33] <dools> C: so i browse shoutcase with streamtuner, double click on a station, and it plays in xmms
[06:33] <dools> s/case/cast
[06:33] <Jas1> flannel: will it be able to load my network card drivers?
[06:33] <C> is mplayer good?
[06:33] <Flannel> sanityx: shrug.  I prefer being able to logout and keep my torrents running in screen.
[06:34] <sanityx> Flannel, This is a laptop.
[06:34] <Flannel> Jas1: I have no idea what network card you have, so... I don't know.
[06:34] <sanityx> Flannel, I take it everywhere. When I'm not on it, its not on.
[06:34] <tidrion_> lmfao
[06:34] <C> mplayer...or vlc?
[06:34] <dools> C: xmms is a front end fo mplayer afaik
[06:34] <Flannel> sanityx: this is precisely why the !best factoid is there, and immensely relevant
[06:34] <crdlb> no it isn't
[06:34] <tidrion_> who was I just talking to?
[06:34] <Jas1> I have a broadcom, it is on the hardware compatibility list
[06:34] <tidrion_> crdlb: I had to go back to a recovery volume
[06:34] <dools> C: but i'm far from certain on that front
[06:34] <tidrion_> but....
[06:34] <RAOF> sanityx: deluge-torrent.  Does what you want it to do.
[06:34] <tidrion_> now my wireless network shows up
[06:34] <Quixotic> how do i reattach the tabs in x chat? i just did a detatch and I cant undo it lol
[06:35] <inoex135> i try to remove my tomcat but i got this error message "subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 127" somebody can help?
[06:35] <tidrion_> crdlb:  any thoughts
[06:35] <wizard_> i swear linux is not laptop-ready
[06:35] <Quixotic> ah there it goes
[06:35] <crdlb> tidrion_: none at all
[06:35] <wizard_> i spend more time fixing stuff that breaks out of the blue than i do actually using it
[06:35] <C> so can i use Amarok in gnome?
[06:35] <tidrion_> said something like: compression type not known
[06:35] <wizard_> C: you can use either in either but amarok will look absolutely ugly in gnome
[06:35] <sanityx> RAOFd , Yeah I had it installed and then it started segfaulting on me
[06:35] <Quixotic> palo I found my user list hidden away as you said.
[06:35] <RAOF> wizard_: Maybe not *your* laptop, but I got in early in Feisty's development cycle and all *my* laptop bugs are fixed :P
[06:35] <C> i see
[06:35] <Flannel> C: yep
[06:35] <wizard_> C: it will look absolutely uggleh!
[06:35] <wizard_> lol
[06:35] <C> whats the best movie player?
[06:36] <godlygeek> Flannel: lol@interblags.  :-D  best webcomic, hehe
[06:36] <C> vlc? mplayer? xmms? etc etc etc
[06:36] <RAOF> C: Totem :P
[06:36] <godlygeek> C: I prefer mplayer to all the others.
[06:36] <mikey_sd> I like vlc.  plays everything u throw at it
[06:36] <sanityx> Anybody know how I can read a .chm (windows help file) in linux.
[06:36] <danh_> how do i make mysqld not consume 100 percent of my CPU 24/7 ?
[06:36] <C> totem? i havent heard of that
[06:36] <wizard_> C: might i make a suggestion to you?
[06:36] <crdlb> totem is included
[06:36] <godlygeek> C: totem is installed by default, i believe.
[06:36] <Hell_Spawn> funny i seiously have few problems with my laptop and ubuntu
[06:36] <sanityx> C totem is gnome's default video player
[06:36] <Quixotic> forgot pelos nick so just took a guess
[06:37] <tidrion__> crdlb: well...
[06:37] <C> sure, whats the suggest...?
[06:37] <tidrion__> it works
[06:37] <Quixotic> dont be so touchy over 4 letters ;o
[06:37] <EADG> It's hard to choke VLC
[06:37] <Flannel> Quixotic: it's the highlighting thats important
[06:37] <Hell_Spawn> just use vlc its better than totem
[06:37] <DanaG> I figured out a partial solution for my inability to use the LADSPA host with pulseaudio:
[06:37] <Quixotic> I'm not sure how that works. First time using this.
[06:37] <Hell_Spawn> and requires less stuffing around with codecs
[06:37] <DanaG> Put a sock in the port of the subwoofer.
[06:37] <crdlb> I have (almost) all the mis-spellings of my nick in the also highlight box :)
[06:37] <Quixotic> Thx for helping me find my user list tho pelo.
[06:37] <Jas1> Has anyone successfully installed Feisty on a computer with an ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 Video Card?
[06:38] <DanaG> But PulseAudio still crackles.
[06:38] <wizard_> C: in the linux world... no ones opinion but your own matters on whats best. You've entered a gateway to liberal software, freedom of customization, and a world of amazement. You are your own leader in a game of constructing a system around who you are. Don't ask people whats best, as we'll all see differently. Instead, play, experiment, and grow... Make linux work for YOU, not you work for it! Enjoy it, experiment, and learn to love it.
[06:38] <danh_> what is mysqld doing?

[06:38] <danh_> wizard_: are you high
[06:38] <Pelo> Quixotic,  you're welcome
[06:38] <C> thanks for the mantra and all ..im just trying to avoid the stuff thats ehh...but i understand ur point
[06:38] <wizard_> danh_: how is that a high statement?
[06:38] <wizard_> thats what linux is all about, making it work for you
[06:39] <danh_> you actually talk like that in real life?
[06:39] <danh_> that's amazing
[06:39] <dools> haha
[06:39] <Quixotic> lol
[06:39] <wizard_> danh_: yes, this is my philosophy on life, does it bother you?
[06:39] <dools> he is a wizard after all
[06:39] <danh_> can anyone give me some tips on how to make mysql quit being restarded
[06:39] <RAOF> DanaG: Hm, have you filed bugs?  'Cause we may be getting pulseaudio by default for Gutsy :)
[06:39] <Quixotic> I like the philosophy. I was tired of everyone using the same apps in windows and it not doing what anyone wanted.
[06:39] <dools> danh_: did you compile --with-non-retarded-behaviour ?
[06:39] <sanityx> Oh mighty wizard, shine down your knowledge upon us.
[06:39] <sanityx> dools, haha
[06:39] <DanaG> ....still haven't gotten around to it.....
[06:39] <danh_> dools: im just using a fresh install of Feisty
[06:39] <wizard_> I believe opinions are 100% subjective, and someone telling C what is "best" is misleading, because only he knows what works best for him. He may be unaware now, but he needs to learn and grow on his own
[06:40] <Quixotic> in here I have so many choices its just like crap ill try this one.
[06:40] <DanaG> When I do post one, I'll post my configs with it.
[06:40] <dools> danh_: what does that have to do with mysql?
[06:40] <danh_> i think you should all install 8 different window managers
[06:40] <wizard_> if he wanted an OS to tell him what to do, he'd still be on windows, hes here for a reason: The thrill to explore.
[06:40] <danh_> dools: i dunno.  i instlaled a packge. i didnt compile it
[06:40] <mikey_sd> yes
[06:40] <C> i understand wiz, im just trying to get "some" direction, if i find i dont like whats been suggested, move on..try something else.
[06:40] <C> im just trying to get "comfy" in my new surroundings...
[06:40] <wizard_> C: try them all! find what works best for you
[06:40] <Jas1> Has anyone successfully installed Feisty on a computer with an ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 Video Card?
[06:40] <dools> danh_: right, so when i asked if you compiled --with-non-retarded-behaviour you took that as a serious comment and actually think there is such an option?
[06:40] <wizard_> and then come in and show off your awesome customized linux one day and we'll exchange buttslaps!
[06:40] <tidrion__> wrong cord...
[06:41] <danh_> wizard_: you are definitely high
[06:41] <Quixotic> can anyone link me to or explain a procedure on coping dvds under ubuntu.
[06:41] <tidrion__> lol
[06:41] <|chiz|> poop
[06:41] <C> it would be foolish not to grasp at the wisdom of others who have gone through the transition im now experiencing
[06:41] <danh_> dools: no.  but do you know of anything that would make mysql consume all my cpu all of the time?
[06:41] <wizard_> C: ohh no, im not saying don't ask.. just ask whats out there, but don't listen to someone who tells you whats "Best"
[06:41] <Quixotic> C I am new to ubuntu also. What I did for a little bit of direction was looked at the star ratings on the apps listed in the add/remove app list.
[06:41] <dazza> danh_: lots of queries?
[06:41] <dools> danh_: having to make heaps of queries?
[06:41] <danh_> all queries are sleeping
[06:42] <thedonvaughn> Quixotic: wiki.ubuntu.com, do a search for restricted
[06:42] <DanaG> I will also file a feature request of "keep streams around for a while so you can move them"
[06:42] <danh_> im not running twitter off of my machine
[06:42] <oscar> I have some trouble with Nautilus... Some time ago that work slowly.. and now I upgrade the sistem.. Now that can't work..
[06:42] <Vistasux> question '/var/www/mysite.com/.htaccess ', if i dont own a domain and i want to password protect my website on my lan, do i need to put mysite.com in the .htaccess?
[06:42] <DanaG> and "remember preferred sinks for each app"
[06:42] <danh_> just a few php queries
[06:42] <Pelo> Jas1,  I'm sure it's been done , just install with the alternate cd , you'll get the vesa driver or somerthing then you can install the ati drivers,  there is a nice little app for restricted drivers in the admin menu
[06:42] <Quixotic> ty thedonvaughn
[06:42] <jenocin> so how do I keep gdm fro starting on boot?

[06:42] <dools> anyway, i'm out of this cesspit of n00bs
[06:42] <C> well xmms is just like winamp ..i like :)
[06:42] <wizard_> C: xmms was my favorite for a while too
[06:42] <Quixotic> hmm thats a cool feature you just did flannel.
[06:42] <Pelo> cesspit of noobs,  what a lovely image , what a lovely person
[06:42] <wizard_> C: fresh out of windows you'll want familiarity... then you'll grow into your own and change to better and bigger things.
[06:42] <Quixotic> Is that function open to anyone to use ?
[06:43] <RAOF> Quixotic: Yes.  Explore with private messages, though (/msg ubotu !stuff)
[06:43] <danh_> jenocin: sudo update-rc.d -f remove gdm
[06:43] <Pelo> Quixotic,  if you want to play with it   /msg ubotu  !keyword
[06:43] <Megaqwerty> I've been getting this error lately: "Couldn't load driver ALSA: dsnd_pcm_open(hw:0): Device or resource busy" any idea how to fix it, or its counterpart: "Couldn't load driver OSS: RageSound_OSS: Couldn't open /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy" ?
[06:43] <C> wow, its much lighter than winamp (resource wise)
[06:43] <Quixotic> pelo does /msg nick work for anyone or only the ubotu?
[06:43] <C> like it
[06:43] <LtL> jenocin - try f6 or whatever in the grub boot menu, login 'single that should do runlevel 3, then startx starts x.
[06:43] <jenocin> danh_: thanks was thinkni that, but i'm more use to using run levels
[06:43] <crdlb> RAOF: when you /msg ubotu you don't need the !
[06:44] <Pelo> Quixotic,  you need to be a registered user
[06:44] <RAOF> crdlb: But it doesn't hurt :P
[06:44] <bloodMuffin> can ubuntu mount an .iso in the same way that daemontools does: aka virtual drive. or do i need a separate tool for that
[06:44] <Quixotic> pelo where can I register my self? is it free?
[06:44] <sanityx> Does X have a native gui, independant of gtk or qt?
[06:44] <Megaqwerty> (The latter I usually get in vmware)
[06:44] <Pelo> Quixotic, registerd on the netowrk   /nickserv help
[06:44] <danh_> bloodMuffin: mount -o loop /mnt/directory /filename.iso
[06:44] <LtL> jenocin - apt-get install bum   bum = boot up manager.
[06:44] <jenocin> DanaG: thats more standard
[06:44] <Quixotic> sweet thanks pelo
[06:44] <Yggdrasil> i think totem is , being loaded up as my default player for mozilla, and i used to use mplayer does anyone know how to switch it ?
[06:44] <thedonvaughn> sanityx: X is a server.  and it has xlib.
[06:44] <oscar> If I write in the console sudo nautilus appear some message with problems with DBUS.. What can be that=?
[06:45] <Quixotic> everyone is so helpful here I think i might cry
[06:45] <Megaqwerty> bloodMuffin: There is a nice nautilus script to mount .iso files, I'll pastebin it for you
[06:45] <jenocin> LtL: i use diff os's, i'd prefer to keep em somewhat standard, actually i'm just trying to get Xvnc running off the xinetd
[06:45] <Pelo> Yggdrasil,  uninstall totem-mozilla in synaptic
[06:45] <DanaG> It lets me add "3" to the command line to prevent X from starting, if it is broken -- without restricting me to single-user.
[06:45] <crdlb> oscar: use gksu, not sudo
[06:45] <Yggdrasil> ok thanks
[06:45] <Pelo> oscar,  use gksu but you'll get a msg anyway, ignore it
[06:46] <Yggdrasil> ill try it
[06:46] <thedonvaughn> why use gksu instead of sudo?
[06:46] <kod> wow, i was about to ask about fixing boot levels, but bum looks great.
[06:46] <Pelo> gksu for gui apps
[06:46] <Yggdrasil> pelo doesnt seem to be playin

[06:46] <DanaG> Best thing I ever did with Beryl:
[06:46] <Yggdrasil> pelo, totoem doesnt seem to be playing cnn.com
[06:46] <danh_> how do i make s2disk not mess up my resolution after hibernate ?
[06:46] <Megaqwerty> bloodMuffin: take this script: http://megaqwerty.pastebin.ca/476544 and put it in ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/ and don't forget to make it executible
[06:46] <Pelo> Yggdrasil,  you also need to install mplayer-mozilla and the codecs if needed
[06:46] <RAOF> thedonvaughn: Using "sudo" with graphical apps can have annoying side effects.
[06:47] <oscar> and what can I do?? Nautilus use a lot of CPU process.. And after some time the sistem is very slowly and I need restart :S
[06:47] <DanaG> Set Beryl to twice the native framerate, with vsync off; set nvidia-settings to vsync ON.
[06:47] <tidrion__> gonna try to reboot, see if my default is working yet
[06:47] <jenocin> so is anyone running vnc through inetd?
[06:47] <Pelo> Yggdrasil,  I thought you wanted to get rid of totem-mozilla ?
[06:47] <crdlb> !gksu | thedonvaughn
[06:47] <C> so what are the better torrent handlers ?
[06:47] <ubotu> thedonvaughn: 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> 
[06:47] <Yggdrasil> pelo i do
[06:47] <Yggdrasil> ;)
[06:47] <Yggdrasil> i was jsut tellin you why
[06:47] <Megaqwerty> bloodMuffin: then you can right click on the iso, and choose whatever you named the script, and it will be mounted. run the same script on it to unmount it
[06:47] <thedonvaughn> ah ok right on
[06:47] <Vistasux> hey whats the touch command do?
[06:47] <bloodMuffin> Megaqwerty: ok let me try that thanks
[06:47] <Wiseguy> hey guys, is there anyway to test and make sure my 3d is working?
[06:47] <riddlebox> how do I totally remove a package that I apt-get'd?
[06:47] <Flannel> Vistasux: depends.  It'll create a file, or update the timestamp on the file.
[06:47] <Pelo> Yggdrasil,  remove totem-mozilla,  install mplayer-mozilla ,  then get the codecs
[06:48] <danh_> Vistasux: use it to update the file update time of a file
[06:48] <Yggdrasil> yea
[06:48] <Yggdrasil> thanks
[06:48] <Flannel> riddlebox: sudo apt-get remove --purge [package] 
[06:48] <riddlebox> ahh thanks
[06:48] <oscar> crdlb: what can I do?
[06:48] <danh_> i use it to see if a partition is read/write read/only
[06:48] <Vistasux> touch /var/www/mysite.com/.htaccess
 what can i do?
[06:48] <Pelo> oscar,  for what ?
[06:48] <Megaqwerty> bloodMuffin: actually, on second thought, I don't think this script unmounts it. But you should be able to unmount it easily
[06:48] <QuixoticJ> aw the nicks i wanted are aready registered -(
[06:48] <anotherpunk> should I use the fiesty alternate disc if the live disc hangs upon installation?
[06:49] <Megaqwerty> I've been getting this error lately: "Couldn't load driver ALSA: dsnd_pcm_open(hw:0): Device or resource busy" any idea how to fix it, or its counterpart: "Couldn't load driver OSS: RageSound_OSS: Couldn't open /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy" ?
[06:49] <badserii> The applet in my bar, that was showing me the applications that were running (ex. Gaim, Ekiga), in my taskbar dissapeared. How can I put it back?
[06:49] <Geoffrey2> can someone provide me a link for instructions on how to set up ftpd?
[06:49] <Yggdrasil> pelo worked like a champ thanks
[06:49] <Pelo> Yggdrasil,  tell your freinds
[06:50] <oscar> Pelo: Nautilus begin to work very slowly some time ago.. and  if I use the computer some  moment after 10 or 15 minutes the computer is absolutely used by the the nautilus processa.. What can i do??
[06:50] <anotherpunk> I have a slow CD drive, and Fiesty just freezes during install, should I use the alternate disc?
[06:50] <Pelo> oscar,  I donT'know what your problem could be , check the forum for a solution,  but you shouldn'T be running nautilus or any apps as root
[06:50] <Flannel> Geoffrey2: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html
[06:50] <C> hmm...azureus or ktorrent?
[06:50] <C> or bittornado
[06:50] <DanaG> Cannot talk to klauncher
[06:50] <Yggdrasil> pelo yar
[06:51] <Flannel> anotherpunk: Check the CD for defects, a slow drive shouldn't cause freezing (well, unless it's slow and malfunctioning)
[06:51] <DanaG> how do I restart klauncher, then?
[06:51] <Pelo> C utorrent running on wine
[06:51] <danh_> C: wizard_ says use all 3
[06:51] <danh_> i like utorrent under wine
[06:51] <anotherpunk> well i'm unaware as to the speed of the drive but it's OLD, is there any way I can make my external CD/DVD Drive boot instead?
[06:51] <C> is utorrent on wine still the best. wouldnt that hog some resources
[06:51] <sanityx> eh. i dont like using wine unless its necessar
[06:51] <sanityx> y
[06:51] <thedonvaughn> hey, if using an athalon64 in 32bit systems.. what's the recommended CPU setting for kernel config?
[06:51] <danh_> C: I think the overhead is negligible
[06:52] <danh_> there is definitely a lot less overhead than running Java+Azeurus
[06:52] <sanityx> danh_, its very ugly though
[06:52] <Pelo> C amazingly no, it's still more efficient then az,  but then so is verything else
[06:52] <danh_> it has to download files, not look pretty
[06:52] <Flannel> thedonvaughn: -generic kernel
[06:52] <sanityx> danh_, I like interfaces to look clean
[06:52] <Stumpf> rtorrent for the win
[06:52] <danh_> sanityx: I want a pony
[06:52] <sanityx> danh_, Me too! omg!
[06:52] <Flannel> !offtopic
[06:53] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[06:53] <QuixoticJ> danh_, C, Is there something wrong with the default torrent client that came with ubuntu ? I'm just curious since I'm a new user I'm wondering if I should seek an alternate as well.
[06:53] <sanityx> oh shush
[06:53] <Pelo> sanityx,  it's easily solved in more recent versions,  just edit the /.wine/user.reg file for your own colours
[06:53] <sanityx> Pelo, Do it for me :-P or i could just use deluge/bittornado/whatever
[06:53] <C> QuixoticJ: i used utorrent forever and its hard to lose that....so im looking for a good option - i was spoiled :)
[06:53] <DanaG> Oh yeah, another bug: try the Human msstyles theme in Wine: you'll find it joyously gobbles up a whole CPU when rendering a tab control.
[06:54] <danh_> QuixoticJ: I use uTorrent because it makes it easy for me to limit the upstream bandwidth used, specify a folder containing torrent files that will be automatically downloaded, automating stuff, providing a fast dialogue to select which files in a torrent to download, specify ports
[06:54] <jlilly> C, what does utorrent do that ktorrent doesn't?
[06:54] <sanityx> Pelo, hahahaa
[06:54] <danh_> QuixoticJ: and a bunch of other things.  Im sure you can do all of that in rtorrent ktorrent ctorrent bittorrent whatever
[06:54] <C> i dont know yet, lilly, i havent used ktorrent yet.
[06:54] <DanaG> I use Azureus because uTorrent doesn't do encoded filenames very well.
[06:54] <jlilly> bah! forgot this was #ubuntu and not #kubuntu
[06:54] <anotherpunk> Can I make an external CD/DVD Drive boot before my internal drive?
[06:54] <jlilly> I <3 ktorrent, though. I'm grepping an RSS feed for TV shows I want to watch.
[06:55] <DanaG> For example, things named like this woud probably choke it: /media/XP/Documents and Settings/Dana/My Documents/My Music/ - .hack--SIGN Original Sound & Song Track 1
[06:55] <jlilly> anotherpunk: that's a bios option.
[06:55] <fierycleric> #bios :)
[06:55] <anotherpunk> it doesn't show up, i've looked
[06:55] <Jas1> When I install ubuntu, will it create a new partition on my hard drive and leave the windows one alone?
[06:55] <anotherpunk> yes it should, jas
[06:55] <jlilly> anotherpunk: look for "boot device order" or something like that.
[06:55] <jlilly> anotherpunk: your bios has that option somewhere. gaurenteed.
[06:55] <Jas1> anotherpunk: ok
[06:55] <anotherpunk> does it matter that it's a USB drive?
[06:55] <Pelo> Jas1,  as long as you have unallocated space ,  other wise you have to rezise the windwos partition to make room
[06:56] <jlilly> anotherpunk: it might... depends if your bios supports booting from USB
[06:56] <danh_> Azureus handles  ?
[06:56] <Jas1> pelo: how can I resize the partition?
[06:56] <rubberducky> Can anyone help me with my file sharing problems?
[06:56] <anotherpunk> alright thanks, i'll go check it out now :)
[06:56] <alien8ed>  was in a chat before trying to get help, and I think I was the butt of a joke
[06:56] <sanityx> Pelo, wow. that really looks excellent. thanks!

[06:57] <Punkunity> i g2g back to gnome which is home
[06:57] <fierycleric> xSUSHix: cant you just restart the ftp service...
[06:57] <danh_> xSUSHix: unless you are doing something really odd, i don't think processes are bound to ip addresses
[06:57] <alien8ed> I need help undoing a command some jerk told me to put into terminal.  can anyone help me?
[06:57] <Jas1> pelo: can I change the partitions from windows?
[06:57] <rubberducky> However when i click to go to the computer...it just loads up a blank screen and doesn't show the files
[06:58] <xSUSHix> fireyclerk : no i have other users connected - but this guy is connected and i dont know what user name he is using - i just have his IP
[06:58] <sanityx> Pelo, Oh . .  . yeah i dont think you can effect linux boxes with .reg files :-P
[06:58] <DanaG> I'm having a helluva time getting TCP/IP to work, however -- it needs VDE, and all I can find a daemon for is UML.
[06:58] <rubberducky> aliden8ed: what'd you put in?
[06:58] <GenNMX> rubberducky: Make sure you have smbclient installed as well, and a file explorer which supports smb://
[06:58] <Pelo> Jas1,  you'll need a windows partition manager, I can't realy help you with that
[06:58] <danh_> xSUSHix: you can use lsof to figure out what process is using which socket which is being used by what user
[06:58] <rubberducky> Um GenNMX I installed samba and am using naut
[06:58] <rubberducky> I need smbclient?

[06:58] <xSUSHix> danh - well how would i find out what user name he is on under ?    i checked the log file it doesnt say hes connected - but firestarter is showing he is
[06:59] <rubberducky> alien8ed: I think you are messed up
[06:59] <rubberducky> it deleted a lot of important files..
[06:59] <rubberducky> Just reinstall ubuntu
[06:59] <danh_> xSUSHix: are you sure he's using something?  pstree username
[06:59] <rubberducky> Don't worry...someone made me do it once too...it is a noob thing :p
[06:59] <Pelo> Jas1, I won'T be able to help you much with repartitionning anyway unless you can boot the live cd, I'm pretty much a noob at this myself
[06:59] <dac_> I get pop-up notice in email,"leaving an encrypted area, do you want to continue?"; how do you encrypt?
[06:59] <danh_> i wish someone could fix my no sound after hibernation problem
[06:59] <rollerskatejamms> Man. I kinda want to use Kubnutu but I find the experience lacking on a laptop.

[07:00] <Pelo> g'night folks
[07:00] <DanaG> Lacking?  How?
[07:00] <DanaG> Oh, guidance-powermanager sucks compared to kpowersave.
[07:00] <alien8ed> rubberducky: I won't be able to recover anything?
[07:00] <fierycleric> dac_: using your web browser?
[07:00] <GenNMX> rm -R / would prompt you for each file...if you sit there, accepting all the prompts, then that will kill your ego out-right
[07:00] <Jas1> pelo: you are very helpful though
[07:00] <ZeZu> rubberducky, ftp?
[07:00] <dac_> yes.
[07:00] <rollerskatejamms> DanaG, Well I only used it on 6.10 not feisty. But gnome seems to just work better, especially when it comes to network connections
[07:00] <GenNMX> rubberducky: Try smb://windows box ip address
[07:00] <rollerskatejamms> DanaG, Also, I can't stand the Qt widgets.
[07:00] <DanaG> add knetworkmanager.
[07:01] <jlilly> xSUSHix: you have anything good on that ftp server ;)
[07:01] <xSUSHix> There is a user connected to my proftpd - how do I disconnect him?
[07:01] <xSUSHix> yes i do
[07:01] <xSUSHix> but only 15K upstream
[07:01] <GenNMX> rubberducky: Also, make sure Samba is properly configured, such that at least Samba and the Windows Box is in the same group
[07:01] <rollerskatejamms> DanaG, I find KDE applications to be more feature rich, but uglier, then gnome applications.
[07:01] <rubberducky> How do I do that?
[07:01] <drwxr-xr-x> xSUSHix: you could get rid of anonymous connections to your proftpd
[07:01] <rubberducky> Configure samba?
[07:02] <sjck_> Hey, somehow I cant delete files and ls -l looks weird for some files/folders -> http://rafb.net/p/h2KE7z33.html I cant even delete them :(
[07:02] <jlilly> xSUSHix: mind if I pm?
[07:02] <DanaG> Same here.
[07:02] <Megaqwerty> I've been getting this error lately: "Couldn't load driver ALSA: dsnd_pcm_open(hw:0): Device or resource busy" any idea how to fix it, or its counterpart: "Couldn't load driver OSS: RageSound_OSS: Couldn't open /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy" ?
[07:02] <drwxr-xr-x> xSUSHix: isnt their ip address in the logs?  you could block that ip at the firewall level
[07:02] <GenNMX> rubberducky: Yes, you need to configure samba for client connections too...
[07:02] <fierycleric> dac_: some sites only encrypt when you are loggin in , so after that they go back to normal http , look in the address bar, when its yellow starts with https:... its an encrypted connection to the website, when its white and starts with http is a normal connection
[07:02] <rollerskatejamms> I do still use yakuake though :-D
[07:02] <DanaG> I'm using the Polyester style for KDE apps, because it's the only decently close thing to Human-Ubuntulooks.
[07:02] <rubberducky> I didn't know that... GenNMX ...
[07:02] <rubberducky> How do I do that?
[07:02] <drwxr-xr-x> I hate Human
[07:02] <QuixoticJ> omg I just put a dvd in and it showed up on my desktop. And when I right click it there is an option that says copy disk, Is it really that crazy simple ?
[07:02] <drwxr-xr-x> Blubuntu is tolerable
[07:02] <rollerskatejamms> DanaG, Yeah but you still have those ugly buttons.
[07:02] <GenNMX> rubberducky: SWAT
[07:03] <DanaG> I made them glass, and I used a Human color theme I downloaded.
[07:03] <drwxr-xr-x> QuixoticJ: doubt it
[07:03] <rollerskatejamms> DanaG, I actually use Wasp :-D
[07:03] <dac_> ok, thank you
[07:03] <rubberducky> im guessing Swat is a gui for samba?
[07:03] <rollerskatejamms> I kinda like beos
[07:03] <DanaG> I also set the button color to match the background.
[07:03] <GenNMX> rubberducky: Yes.
[07:03] <rollerskatejamms> rubberducky, A very poor one.
[07:03] <DanaG> wasp?
[07:03] <Megaqwerty> QuixoticJ: quite possibly
[07:03] <rollerskatejamms> DanaG, BeOS theme.
[07:03] <Akuma_> are there a lot of apps that don't work under 64bits? would they work fine with ia32-libs*
[07:03] <Akuma_> ?
[07:03] <Megaqwerty> QuixoticJ: if not, install k3b it's great for all your CD/DVD needs
[07:03] <rubberducky> I really need to skin irssi...this color scheme blows
[07:03] <rollerskatejamms> Akuma_, I think most work.
[07:03] <rollerskatejamms> rubberducky, Or download xchat :-P
[07:03] <rubberducky> Hah
[07:03] <drwxr-xr-x> rubberducky: /script load nickcolor.pl
[07:03] <QuixoticJ> do you have to have kde for that megaqwerty?
[07:04] <GenNMX> You can't run xchat in screen!
[07:04] <Akuma_> rollerskatejamms: i heard flash and skype don't play well with 64..?
[07:04] <Megaqwerty> QuixoticJ: nope, you can run it in gnome
[07:04] <rubberducky> Okay... Whats that do?
[07:04] <rollerskatejamms> Akuma_, Idk about skype. but yeah flash is hard to get working.
[07:04] <xSUSHix> drwxr-xr-x i do not have anonymouos access enabled - he is connected as my main user and has somehow acquired my password.   he is currently downloading my files - how do i set up the firewall to disallow him?  im using firestarter and only see how to allow - not disallow
[07:04] <rollerskatejamms> Akuma_, you have to mess with it to get 32 bit flash installed
[07:04] <rubberducky> drwxr-xr-x: What does that do?
[07:04] <drwxr-xr-x> xSUSHix: change the password
[07:04] <Jas1> xSHSHix: unplug your network cable?
[07:04] <rollerskatejamms> xSUSHix, kill the ftp server temporarily
[07:04] <drwxr-xr-x> rubberducky: makes pretty colors
[07:04] <DanaG> Try gaim-text in screen.
[07:04] <drwxr-xr-x> xSUSHix: change your password, restart vsftpd
[07:04] <DanaG> it's sweet.
[07:04] <QuixoticJ> Megaqwerty im really looking for the best solutions for simple dvd coping and dvd data disc creation. Since I have to teach it to my family members also. They are use ot my 2 click windows solution of dvd coping.
[07:04] <rubberducky> Does irssi have a nice theme built in or no?
[07:05] <rollerskatejamms> DanaG, gaim-text is nice. waaaay nicer then naim
[07:05] <drwxr-xr-x> rubberducky: irssi has about 1000 different themes
[07:05] <rubberducky> already installed?
[07:05] <rubberducky> I just need a visible one...
[07:05] <DanaG> I never managed to 'grok' how to use naim.
[07:05] <Akuma_> rollerskatejamms: that kinda sux. i dunno whats worst, an unused 64b cpu or messing with non-64b apps
[07:05] <lil_cain> rubberducky: the defualt one is ok
[07:05] <rubberducky> When people say my name...their name shows in an unreadable yellow
[07:05] <rubberducky> I can't see shit :/
[07:05] <rollerskatejamms> Akuma_, an unused 64bit cpu is actuallly meaningless for most things.
[07:05] <Megaqwerty> QuixoticJ: Well, k3b has a great gui, just download it, and try it out. If you don't like it, you can remove it.
[07:05] <lil_cain> it should turn up yellow, but not unreadable
[07:05] <tonyyarusso> !ohmy | rubberducky
[07:05] <ubotu> rubberducky: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[07:06] <drwxr-xr-x> rubberducky: i like madcow
[07:06] <Megaqwerty> QuixoticJ: but it's very easy to use
[07:06] <drwxr-xr-x> rubberducky: http://irssi.org/themefiles/madcow.theme
[07:06] <jenocin> ok got vnc running through xinetd but getting May  8 01:02:57 vtg2 xinetd[9463] : warning: can't get client address: Transport endpoint is not connected
[07:06] <jenocin>  in the logs
[07:06] <GenNMX> rubberducky: Are you using irssi in a ssh session from your Windows machine, or on the machine through X, or at the console?
[07:06] <drwxr-xr-x> i wish i could get otr-proxy working in ubuntu
[07:06] <rubberducky> Through my ubuntu machine
[07:06] <GenNMX> rubberducky: For the first two situations, your problem is not irssi.
[07:06] <rubberducky> I'm sitting here on it :p
[07:06] <QuixoticJ> megaqwerty I will check it out. But first im going to see what this right click copy disc does. If it actually works I will be totally amazed
[07:07] <drwxr-xr-x> rubberducky: you could change your terminal colors
[07:07] <rubberducky> Did you really just tell me not to say sh*t?
[07:07] <Megaqwerty> QuixoticJ: it also makes .iso files of dvds, which it can then subsequently burn to a blank dvd, or dvd+rw
[07:07] <drwxr-xr-x> rubberducky: you are arguing with a perl program
[07:07] <GenNMX> rubberducky: Are you using Gnome Terminal box?
[07:07] <Megaqwerty> QuixoticJ: cool, good luck!
[07:07] <rubberducky> Oh okay..
[07:07] <rubberducky> haha
[07:07] <rollerskatejamms> rubberducky, its policy.
[07:07] <rubberducky> I was like...dude ...chill
[07:07] <alka_trash> I just posted on Dell's Idea storm for dell to work with gaming on Linux ( I know good luck ) but anyone want to help me get some points?   Thanks in advance  http://www.ideastorm.com/article/show/67072/Work_with_gaming_companies_to_promote_Linux_gaming
[07:07] <rollerskatejamms> rubberducky, its lame, i admit, but deal with it :-P
[07:07] <QuixoticJ> megaqwerty have you ever used the clonedvd or clonecd programs they are windows programs
[07:07] <rubberducky> Yeah I'm using the gnome terminal
[07:07] <drwxr-xr-x> rubberducky: you can change your colors
[07:07] <rollerskatejamms> rubberducky, You could just run xchat in you know, X.
[07:07] <drwxr-xr-x> black on white all the way
[07:07] <Megaqwerty> QuixoticJ: no, I haven't but I assume that they make .iso files, correct?
[07:08] <drwxr-xr-x> irssi is the only irc client you need!
[07:08] <rubberducky> Yeah
[07:08] <rubberducky> :P
[07:08] <GenNMX> rubberducky: Gnome terminal had weird font and colour defaults for me, you probably need to tweak it for your video card + monitor + X general settings
[07:08] <rubberducky> I dont want to download xchat
[07:08] <EADG>  green on black ftw
[07:08] <rubberducky> because i heard
[07:08] <alien8ed> I can't believe all of my files are gone
[07:08] <rubberducky> I heard xchat in the gnome reposit sucks
[07:08] <QuixoticJ> megaqwerty no it just rips the dvd no matter what kind and then tells you to put a blank dvd in and writes a copy of it. then removes the files that it created.
[07:08] <tidrion_> when trying to boot from linux 2.0.20 kernel (I think)
[07:08] <rubberducky> and y9ou need to get it off the website
[07:08] <rubberducky> <<<being lazy
[07:08] <rollerskatejamms> rubberducky, No. xchat-gnome sucks. install xchat
[07:08] <rollerskatejamms> rubberducky, its in the repos
[07:08] <rubberducky> oh
[07:08] <xSUSHix> someone's hacking my http too - there are 2 connections to my httpd and i dont even have a web page set up yet
[07:08] <rubberducky> I like irssi
[07:08] <rubberducky> I just need a cool skin
[07:08] <rubberducky> :p
[07:09] <rubberducky> Its really simple and low on resources
[07:09] <GenNMX> rubberducky: xchat has nothing to do with gnome, except there is a gnome branch
[07:09] <QuixoticJ> megaqwerty makes coping movies very easy I'm wondering if there is similiar functilaity or just the ability to copy movies on here. megaqwerty
[07:09] <tidrion_> when trying to boot from linux 2.0.20 kernel (I think) it fails but if I revert back to 2.0.17 it boots
[07:09] <Punkunity> in beryl whats the difference between emerald, and aquamarine and all that jazz?
[07:09] <Megaqwerty> QuixoticJ: so it does exactly what I just said. Just behind the scenes. k3b also has that ability :-P
[07:09] <Punkunity> anyone?
[07:09] <tomx> anybody can talk to me?
[07:09] <GenNMX> rubberducky: xchat is also very minimalist, except it runs in X. Although personally I use irssi in a screen session, since I switch to different computers as I roam around the house.
[07:10] <rollerskatejamms> Yeah I love xchat.
[07:10] <rollerskatejamms> anyway, why irssi and not bitchx?
[07:10] <drwxr-xr-x> xSUSHix: what is your ip address
[07:10] <rubberducky> How do I install the irssi theme that I have downloaded?
[07:10] <tomx> o...my god
[07:10] <GenNMX> rollerskatejamms: bitchx fails in so many ways. You could even say it fails EPICly.
[07:10] <drwxr-xr-x> rollerskatejamms: bitchx is for retards
[07:10] <rollerskatejamms> why?
[07:10] <xSUSHix> drwxr-xr-x can't you just /whois me
[07:10] <Punkunity> i answered my own question nm
[07:10] <drwxr-xr-x> rubberducky: put it in ~/.irssi/themename.theme
[07:11] <DanaG> bitchx has a bad name, in my opinion.
[07:11] <tomx> oooo
[07:11] <tomx> it's so good
[07:11] <QuixoticJ> megaqwerty sounds good thanks Ill check it out. IThe dvd showed up on my desktop upon insert I right clicked its icon and it had a copy disc option. Is it possible to see which program is handling this copy? Since it was just built right into the system.
[07:11] <drwxr-xr-x> rubberducky: then
[07:11] <drwxr-xr-x> rubberducky: /set theme themename.theme
[07:11] <drwxr-xr-x>  /set theme themename
[07:11] <drwxr-xr-x> might work too
[07:12] <danlock2> okay, does anyone remember me talking about my Computer Defense Competiton
[07:12] <drwxr-xr-x> xSUSHix: THE COMPUTER IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE
[07:12] <xSUSHix> oO!
[07:12] <Henica> Hey guys. I think I'm going to need some help in a minute, so I figured I'de come here, heh.
[07:12] <xSUSHix> im on unencrypted wifi =] 
[07:12] <Megaqwerty> hm...unknown to me. It could be nautilus (the file manager) which has it's own cd/dvd burning capability akin to the one in windows. (Drag and drop files into the cd making window, select burn)
[07:12] <rubberducky> It didnt work too well
[07:13] <rubberducky> Do I have to reload irssi after that
[07:13] <drwxr-xr-x> nope
[07:13] <Megaqwerty> QuixoticJ:  the only problem I've ever had with k3b is when it wasn't able to access my cd/dvd drive, which is solved by running it as root (i.e. Alt+F2 then typing into the box "gksu k3b" without the quotes) you can also just change the launcher to do this automagically, by right clicking on the launcher, choosing properties, and changing the command to "gksu k3b" (without the quotes)
[07:13] <Hell_Spawn> i have a laptop hard drive that is connected through usb i want to mount because ubuntu is not automounting what is the correct syntax ??
[07:13] <tomx> o ,,,,
[07:13] <insta> anyone know of a good daemon that will broadcast to an icecast server without requiring a local soundcard or loopback cable?
[07:14] <rubberducky> Here we go...That's better.
[07:14] <Flannel> insta: Does mpd not do that?
[07:14] <tomx> go go go
[07:14] <rubberducky> So who wants to help me get my windows filesharing to work :D
[07:14] <odie> my ubuntu isnt automontin any drive
[07:14] <Henica> I'm installing ubuntu for the first time on my laptop. And I just want to make sure that eeverything works right.. heh. only problem is that it's an old version, and I want to connect to the net to upgrade from my laptop. Will it like.. set it up automaticaly? Or will it force me to stay up nother two hours to make it work?
[07:14] <insta> Flannel: I don't know, does it?
[07:14] <jlilly> rubberducky: just look up a samba tutorial
[07:14] <DanaG> insta: is icecast RTSP?
[07:14] <tomx> what?
[07:14] <Megaqwerty> odie: I need you to be more specific than that
[07:14] <crdlb> insta: it certainly does afaik
[07:14] <DanaG> Pulseaudio will do rtsp.
[07:14] <insta> RTSP?
[07:14] <xSUSHix> Hell_Spawn : sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt      or change sdb1 to whatever your device is (hdb1 hdc1 sda1 etc)
[07:15] <rubberducky> !samba
[07:15] <Geoffrey2> what would the key combo be to interrupt the ping command?
[07:15] <tomx> are u come from USA
[07:15] <ubotu> samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[07:15] <jlilly> Henica: mine updated all on its own.
[07:15] <Hell_Spawn> thanks
[07:15] <insta> Geoffrey2: ctrl+c
[07:15] <tomx> hehe
[07:15] <Henica> Well that's a good sign, jlilly. I hope it works out for me as well.
[07:15] <Megaqwerty> odie: is it a partition, a usb drive, etc.
[07:15] <tomx> a usb drive,etc
[07:15] <odie9999> usb drive and cds
[07:15] <Geoffrey2> ok, thanks....I keep thinking ctrl-z, which obviously does something completely different in linux
[07:15] <tomx> yes
[07:15] <Henica> I have to have this PC for work tomorrow, and Windows is being crappy, per usual. ;p
[07:15] <tomx> ok
[07:16] <mikey_sd> anybody use ntfs-3g?
[07:16] <tomx> i know
[07:16] <tomx> haha
[07:16] <Megaqwerty> mikey_sd: yes, it works very well
[07:16] <Megaqwerty> (for me at least)
[07:16] <mikey_sd> yes it does
[07:16] <Hell_Spawn> sorry to bother again
[07:16] <EADG> Is there a way to grep throught every command? ex to find every instance of stat... nstat, netstat, bmstat, etc.
[07:16] <stevenrushing> quick question... is there a way to search these chats?  a week ago i had a problem, and someone helped me fix it, and i forgot what we did.
[07:16] <mikey_sd> logs
[07:16] <jlilly> stevenrushing: If you log them...
[07:17] <stevenrushing> that was my first time on irc... =)
[07:17] <QuixoticJ> i have a bad harddrive in my system. I'm not sure if its totally dead or just alot of bad sectors on it. It makes my linux load time really long since it has to say input/output error on the drive over and over again with different numbers or something along those lines of an error. Is it possible for me to disable that in linux so it ignores the drive completely and just runs normally ?
[07:17] <jlilly> heh. oops!
[07:17] <xSUSHix> stevenrushing : if your client logs your chats - check preferences
[07:17] <Megaqwerty> odie9999: you need to go to System>Preferences>Removable Drives and Media
[07:17] <tomx> :)
[07:17] <mikey_sd> many clients have logging turned off by default
[07:17] <tomx> :(
[07:17] <tomx> :~
[07:17] <insta> Flannel: do you have any experience with mpd?
[07:17] <Megaqwerty> odie9999: you will find your answers there
[07:17] <tomx> :)
[07:17] <Madpilot> tomx, are you a bot, or just a human acting like a twit?
[07:17] <underzr0> Ello!
[07:17] <mikey_sd> ;)
[07:17] <disinterested> whats the command to install mplayer?
[07:17] <stevenrushing> yes, just saw it is turned off by default...
[07:18] <odie9999> megaquerty: i have tried that
[07:18] <stevenrushing> i guess that means there isn't a community log somewhere
[07:18] <mikey_sd> bummer, then.
[07:18] <crdlb> stevenrushing: this channel is publicly logged
[07:18] <tomx> Madpilot:

[07:18] <disinterested> ive done that one and i dont have any config files for it
[07:19] <Madpilot> tomx, a 'twit' is someone doing stupid things - like spamming a busy IRC channel.
[07:19] <odie9999> megaqerty: yep, and i haven find any other case on the web
[07:19] <stevenrushing> um, ubuntu-x-2007?
[07:19] <HLM> tomx: Twit = ID10T
[07:19] <tomx> o ,sorry...
[07:19] <stevenrushing> what is the file name for this room?

[07:21] <odie9999> megaquerty: but my sister is learning linux and i she cant
[07:21] <Hell_Spawn> sorry had to server a customer how do i figger out what a usb hdd is detecting as E.g /dev/hda1 .... sdb1 etc
[07:21] <justin_> It can't find some modules or something
[07:21] <martman> justin_ funny i _just_ did that
[07:21] <fusion> #ubuntu
[07:21] <gonnaeatthat> hey guys what is a good theme manager for compiz? i tried gnome-look to load some themes but they all require beryl emerald.
 did what?
[07:21] <Megaqwerty> odie9999: then you could create a script that she can double click on to mount them. ( it's a dirty hack, but I can't see your computer, and thus have no idea what the problem is)
[07:22] <martman> justin_ installed vmware server
[07:22] <crimsun> Hell_Spawn: dmesg.  All USB HDs will be mass storage and thus SCSI, so they'll be /dev/sdX
[07:22] <bimberi> justin_: feisty? if so, you can install it via Applications -> Add/Remove...
[07:22] <justin_> Ok how do I do it then in fiesty 64 bit
[07:22] <blenna> i want to run fsck on my drives. i  booted into the live cd; what options do i need to run a full scan of my drives for fsck?
[07:22] <odie9999> megaqwerty: mmm thats right,
[07:22] <justin_> I can install server?
[07:22] <justin_> that way
[07:22] <crdlb> gonnaeatthat: you can install a special version of emerald that will make emerald work with compiz
[07:22] <justin_> how?
[07:22] <bimberi> justin_: sorry, not sure about 64bit.  yes, server
[07:22] <martman> justin_ not sure about that. i did plain old x86
[07:22] <Megaqwerty> odie9999: if you would join me in a private chat, we can compose a script together. (I don't want to flood the channel with our code)
[07:22] <eyequeue> i've got a question, about the bash 3.2-0ubuntu7 (aka 3.2.13(1)-release)

[07:23] <tomx> Madpilot:can u give me a Chatroom?
[07:23] <ubotu> gonnaeatthat: Automatix2 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
[07:23] <strabes> because it breaks the upgrade path
[07:23] <crdlb> because it's the devil
[07:23] <Flannel> drwxr-xr-x: thats for you too
[07:23] <gonnaeatthat> okay won't do it
[07:23] <blenna> in other words, what switches do i use for fsck to run a through scan?
[07:23] <gonnaeatthat> if it kills my laptop like beryl did im a no for that then
[07:23] <bimberi> justin_: in add/remove... ?
[07:24] <eyequeue> why is /etc/bash.logout not working, as mentioned near the end of bash(1)?  what do i need to do differently?  are my perms right?
[07:24] <strabes> here's how you can do everything automatix does: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras flashplugin-nonfree
[07:24] <fusion> Hi guys,
[07:24] <drwxr-xr-x> satanic automatix works great for me
[07:24] <eyequeue> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root   6 2007-05-08 06:53 /etc/bash.logout
[07:24] <Megaqwerty>  I've been getting this error lately: "Couldn't load driver ALSA: dsnd_pcm_open(hw:0): Device or resource busy" any idea how to fix it, or its counterpart: "Couldn't load driver OSS: RageSound_OSS: Couldn't open /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy" ?
[07:24] <crdlb> gonnaeatthat: but those emerald packages have nothing to do with automatix :)
[07:24] <justin_> bimberi yes in add/remove

[07:24] <ubotu> drwxr-xr-x: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[07:24] <rubberducky> Still can't get my damn file sharring to work
[07:24] <gonnaeatthat> okay good crdlb
[07:24] <Madpilot> tomx, no, but if you want to start your own channel, go ahead - just use /join
[07:24] <drwxr-xr-x> ubotu: you are the cutest bot ever
[07:24] <Megaqwerty> odie9999: irc troubles?
[07:24] <bimberi> justin_: hmm, give me a minute
[07:24] <gonnaeatthat> what about skype cani install without automatix?
[07:24] <EADG> Is there a way to grep throught every command? ex to find every instance of stat... nstat, netstat, bmstat, etc.
[07:25] <crdlb> !skype | gonnaeatthat
[07:25] <ubotu> gonnaeatthat: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto
[07:25] <napkin> hey, anyone know how i would prevent vmware server from starting at boot?
[07:25] <Flannel> gonnaeatthat: you can install *everything* without automatix.  Don't be silly.
[07:25] <fusion> How come when i switch to a different desktop workspace all my icons and tool bars disappear?
[07:25] <odie9999> megaqwerty: yep (control+c) jeje
[07:25] <mikey_sd> rubberducky: what's the prob?
[07:25] <rubberducky> Anyone have any experience getting file sharing to work between windows boxes and an ubuntu box?
[07:25] <Megaqwerty> lol
[07:25] <rollerskatejamms> Well, here I am on irssi now.
[07:25] <gonnaeatthat> flannel im new to this ball game
[07:25] <mikey_sd> a bit
[07:25] <gonnaeatthat> i had a bad experience with beryl in dapper and never loaded it again on my laptop
[07:25] <gonnaeatthat> :)
[07:25] <drwxr-xr-x> does Vista even do windows file sharing as we understand it
[07:25] <napkin> rubberducky: a little.  feisty?  have you installed the samba package?
[07:25] <justin_> The prebuilt modules are missing and I get Error 1 and Error 2 durring install
[07:25] <eyequeue> basically i want to do a "clear" in that file, but even "/usr/bin/clear" in that file, thinking maybe it loses $PATH by then(?) doesn't work
[07:26] <rollerskatejamms> ok so, i know this was already discussed, but who can reccomend a good irssi theme for me?
[07:26] <rubberducky> mikey_sd, I installed samba...and my computer sees the windows box. But when I go to connect to the box, it doesn't display the files...or folders...just shows an empty folder
[07:26] <odie9999> i dont know how to join a private chat
[07:26] <justin_> of course thats using the tar.gz
[07:26] <stevenrushing> thank you very much.  i downloaded like 10 days worth, did a beagle search, and found my name!
[07:26] <eyequeue> it *does* work as ~/.bash_logout btw, but i want this system-wide, not something per-user
[07:26] <Henica> okay, I need help now. xD
[07:26] <xSUSHix> odie9999 : /msg <user> <message>
[07:26] <mikey_sd> have you set user security in samba.conf?
[07:26] <Megaqwerty> odie9999: are you registered with nickserv?
[07:26] <Henica> "apm: BIOS not found"
[07:26] <rubberducky> napkin, yes i did
[07:27] <tidrion_> are errors on boot logged anywhere?
[07:27] <bimberi> justin_: make sure you have "All available applications" set next to "Show:" at the top right
[07:27] <rollerskatejamms> tidrion_: somewhere in /var/log probably
[07:27] <gonnaeatthat> ubuntu chat room is seriously better than microsoft corporate support
[07:27] <napkin> rubberducky: don't bother messing with smb.conf.  just go to preferences -> administration -> shared folders.  all you have to do after that is run 'sudo smbpasswd -a <nameofyouruser>' at a terminal.
[07:27] <EADG> rollerskatejamms: try /ignore #ubuntu joins parts quits  to slow the scroll
[07:27] <eyequeue> odie, also, the   /query othernick   command may be what you are looking for
[07:27] <Megaqwerty> !register | odie9999
[07:27] <ubotu> odie9999: Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[07:27] <gonnaeatthat> lol even with a company investing over 40 million in windows i can come on here get q's answered faster
[07:27] <eyequeue> odie9999, rather
[07:27] <justin_> Ya I did that
[07:27] <rollerskatejamms> EADG: huh?
[07:27] <drwxr-xr-x> gonnaeatthat: there is a #vista channel on freenode
[07:27] <Henica> I just installed Ubuntu 5.10 - And it loaded and said - [4295321.932000]  apm: BIOS not found - Help?
[07:28] <napkin> rubberducky: er, i meant system -> preferences -> shared folders.
[07:28] <gonnaeatthat> lol drw if my corporation ran vista we would no longer be the #1 candy company in the world :)
[07:28] <crdlb> Henica: 5.10? are you sure?
[07:28] <tidrion_> anyway to recompress your linux kernel?
[07:28] <rollerskatejamms> Hey how can I impliment a framebuffer on the terminal, so that I can have a 1280x800 terminal instead of the tiny one
[07:28] <justin_> It's not prebuilt for 64 bit but there is modules for it. I still have to download it to install manually
[07:28] <Henica> *nods* Old CD, crdlb
[07:28] <EADG> rollerskatejamms: in irssi, gets rid of the annoying join & quit msgs.
[07:28] <rollerskatejamms> rollerskatejamms: I mean on the regular terminal that you get with ctrl-alt-f1
[07:28] <tidrion_> my system keeps saying that the compression is invalid
[07:28] <rubberducky> napkin, the problem isn't me accessing the ubuntu box..
[07:28] <crdlb> Henica: install a newer version
[07:28] <Flannel> rollerskatejamms: a vga= option in your boot parameters
[07:28] <crdlb> breezy is unsupported
[07:28] <strabes> rollerskatejamms: with a vga grub boot flag
[07:28] <rubberducky> it is the ubuntu box retrieving files from the windows box
[07:28] <napkin> rubberducky: oh :)
[07:28] <justin_> vmware-config.pl just returns errors when it compiles and I have make and gcc installed
[07:28] <eyequeue> anyone have any odeas on getting a system-wide /etc/bash.logout working, as mentioned near the end of the bash manpage?  it fails with feisty's bash, anyone care to test it on other versions?
[07:28] <drwxr-xr-x> rubberducky: vista or XP
[07:28] <Henica> I was going to upgrade once I got this working on the net, crdlb
[07:28] <tidrion_> 0
[07:29] <rubberducky> xp
[07:29] <bimberi> justin: it's available - see here: http://archive.canonical.com/pool/main/v/vmware-server/
[07:29] <tidrion_> 3
[07:29] <crdlb> Henica: it's a long upgrade path to feisty
[07:29] <rubberducky> The computer sees the xp box...but wont show the files in the shared folder
[07:29] <tidrion_> my system keeps saying that the compression is invalid
[07:29] <Jas1> Does youtube work well on ubuntu?
[07:29] <rollerskatejamms> Flannel: strabes: ok but how do I figure out what vga option to use?
[07:29] <Flannel> rollerskatejamms: vga=ask ;)
[07:29] <justin_> Jasl yes
[07:29] <xSUSHix> Jasl : ???? youtube is a web page
[07:29] <Henica> crdld, I need this PC to work in about 6 hours. What would you suggest?
[07:29] <Flannel> rollerskatejamms: then after that, go back and set it to something you know
[07:29] <xSUSHix> is YouTube a program ?
[07:29] <rubberducky> drwxr-xr-x, xp
[07:30] <rollerskatejamms> Flannel: nice thanks
[07:30] <phixxor> hey sup, I'm trying to do X11 forwarding with ssh, but I just learned how to do ssh today so I'm probably doing something wrong. I'm able to get the remote connection by doing "ssh -X phixxor@192.168.1.20" but when I do xeyes, I get "Error: Can't open display:" what am I doing wrong?
[07:30] <bimberi> justin_: I had read that it was in Add/Remove... - perhaps misread :|
[07:30] <strabes> rollerskatejamms: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Grub_configure_examples#Vga_-_Resolution_settings
[07:30] <Jas1> xshshix: it needs ad-ons and stuff
[07:30] <crdlb> Henica: how fast is your net connection?
[07:30] <eyequeue> Jas1, you want to configure your browser to support flash of course
[07:30] <drwxr-xr-x> rubberducky: who knows.  you might have goofy firewall settings on your XP box, or maybe a machine on your net thinks it is the master browser, or 10 different other things
[07:30] <Henica> crdlb Not that fast, plus, I don't think I can burn a CD on my desktop.
[07:30] <bimberi> Jas1: works fine with the flashplugin in feisty, edgy-backports and dapper-backports
[07:30] <fierycleric> eyequeue: on my bash man it only mentions ~/.bash_logout
[07:30] <Henica> (If that's what you were going for.)
[07:31] <rubberducky> Grr
[07:31] <crdlb> Henica: it is indeed
[07:31] <nxvl> hi. im trying to install ubuntu via netboot, but i'm having problems with dhcp, are they changes in the process or configuration?
[07:31] <budluva> can someone help me here, i have an x264 sample here that will play out of the box in vlc on my laptop, but on my desktop i can see the first frame and thats it, audio is fine, no skipping or anything
[07:31] <rubberducky> drwxr-xr-x, I backed up all my stuff to that machine before I installed feisty
[07:31] <eyequeue> fierycleric, which version?  dapper etc
[07:31] <mikey_sd> rubberducky: u could also try http://www.ntfs-3g.org/
[07:31] <rubberducky> I need the stuff back:/
[07:31] <drwxr-xr-x> phixxor: try -Y
[07:31] <fierycleric> eyequeue: dapper
[07:31] <crdlb> I certainly have no idea why breezy might be broken
[07:31] <justin_> Well bimberi if this means anything to you the Christian Version of Ubuntu is not available in 64 bit so I decided to use convert_to_ubuntu_christian_edition_feisty.tar.gz and it worked
[07:31] <Henica> crdlb, perhaps I can make this work and then use another work computer to burn it. But I need this to work tonight.
[07:31] <tidrion_> vmlinuz-2.6.20-15-386
[07:31] <rubberducky> When connecting the box named "scott" I get "Sorry, couldn't display all the contents of "Windows Network: scott"."
[07:31] <justin_> 64 bit christian edition
[07:31] <rubberducky> But the permissions are set on the xp box
[07:31] <tidrion_> is there anything I can do to update or change vmlinuz-2.6.20-15-386
[07:31] <drwxr-xr-x> what does the christian edition have
[07:32] <tidrion_> my system fails to unzip or decompress vmlinuz-2.6.20-15-386 on boot
[07:32] <drwxr-xr-x> i should make a Mormon edition
[07:32] <drwxr-xr-x> rubberducky: there's logs you can look at
[07:32] <eyequeue> fierycleric, line 4845 of the feisty man page, waaaay down in the FILES section of the man page, 99%
[07:32] <drwxr-xr-x>  /var/log/samba/ i think?
[07:32] <rubberducky> okay...
[07:32] <rubberducky> I'm just saying Sorry, couldn't display all the contents of "Windows Network: scott".
[07:32] <drwxr-xr-x> look at nmbd.* too
[07:32] <rubberducky> I get that when it won't connect
[07:33] <drwxr-xr-x> yeah there can be 80 different things going wrong, debugging samba remotely is hard
[07:33] <fierycleric> eyequeue: ok  must be new
[07:33] <bimberi> justin_: it's of interest, but that only, thanks :)
[07:33] <phixxor> drwxr-xr-x: it still doesn't work : (
[07:33] <rubberducky> Maybe i'll just burn everything ot a cd
[07:33] <rubberducky> :/
[07:33] <rubberducky> Lame
[07:33] <drwxr-xr-x> phixxor: ssh -X -v
[07:33] <drwxr-xr-x> -v for verbose mode
[07:33] <justin_> I figured that had nothing to do with it exept that all my software thinks it's running on an 32 bit os
[07:33] <eyequeue> fierycleric, what i'm trying to accomplish is clear the console screen upon users logging out (/usr/bin/clear) so there's no "sensitive" things left around after they walk away
[07:34] <drwxr-xr-x> phixxor: also forwarding X might be turned off on the destination machine, check out /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[07:34] <phixxor> alrighty
[07:34] <Henica> crdlb, is there any way to make 5.10 work so I can have this for work in the morning, or am I screwed?
[07:34] <NETWizz> Wow
[07:34] <NETWizz> how did Ubuntu get so many people?
[07:34] <insta> feh, I'm now willing to pay for help
[07:34] <NETWizz> Looks like maybe the busiest channel
[07:34] <drwxr-xr-x> NETWizz: magic
[07:34] <fierycleric> eyequeue: how do they login ?
[07:34] <NETWizz> Yet it is the worst distro
[07:34] <Geoffrey2> is there an apt-get install flag that you can use to also install recommended packages?
[07:34] <NETWizz> Just kidding
[07:34] <bimberi> argh, the nick drwxr-xr-x is messing with my mind :/   :)
[07:34] <crdlb> Henica: I don't have a clue, I didn't use ubuntu until dapper because I thought it was terrible
[07:34] <drwxr-xr-x> NETWizz: i will send your slackware boot floppies
[07:34] <insta> Geoffrey2: install with aptitude instead
[07:34] <Jas1> What is a distro?
[07:34] <rubberducky> Hey mikey_sd , for that ntfs driver.,.
[07:35] <rubberducky> Do I install Dapper or Edgy?
[07:35] <rubberducky> Since I'm using feisty?
[07:35] <drwxr-xr-x> Geoffrey2: you might try aptitude instead of apt-get
[07:35] <NETWizz> Um, 775, floppies?
[07:35] <NETWizz> Erry
[07:35] <NETWizz> 755 Floppies?
[07:35] <eyequeue> fierycleric, username enter password enter, at a console prompt (no X)  like tty1 through tty6 (alt-ctrl-1 type thing on your machine)
[07:35] <unimatrix9> hello all
[07:35] <NETWizz> drxwr-xr-x, can I call you 755?
[07:36] <drwxr-xr-x> NETWizz: only if you install automatix
[07:36] <phixxor> drwxr-xr-x: /etc/ssh/sshd_config is emptyt...
[07:36] <budluva> can someone help me here, i have an x264 sample here that will play out of the box in vlc on my laptop, but on my desktop i can see the first frame and thats it, audio is fine, no skipping or anything
[07:36] <eyequeue> fierycleric, so "exit" will lof them out, but i'd like it to auto-run "clear" leaving that tty in a pristine state
[07:36] <unimatrix9> i really need an program that can "roll back" or "freeze" an ubuntu installation , for school and kiosk use, all tips are welcome!
[07:36] <eyequeue> s/lof/log/
[07:36] <rollerskatejamms> Flannel: Ok that vga thing was nice, but in slackware I could set the specific resolution of the terminal.
[07:36] <NETWizz> what is automatix?
[07:36] <crdlb> the devil
[07:36] <rollerskatejamms> Flannel: e.g. 800x600
[07:36] <Flannel> !automatix | NETWizz
[07:36] <ubotu> NETWizz: Automatix2 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.

[07:36] <rollerskatejamms> !automatix | NETWizz
[07:36] <drwxr-xr-x> phixxor: on the destination and uh... whatever you call the non destination machine?
[07:36] <jlilly> urg. trying to load OS X in a VM is a huge pain.
[07:37] <fierycleric> eyequeue: ok have you looked at getty ?
[07:37] <Flannel> rollerskatejamms: you do that via the vga option, certain numbers are certain resolutions
[07:37] <NETWizz> Oh
[07:37] <budluva> !x264
[07:37] <NETWizz> I got my system configure well
[07:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about x264 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:37] <C> sup guys, im back and i have a few questions
[07:37] <unimatrix9> i really need an program that can "roll back" or "freeze" an ubuntu installation , for school and kiosk use, all tips are welcome!
[07:37] <rollerskatejamms> Flannel: The vga=ask was only prompting me for like 80x60 and stuff like that, which I believe is charecter count.
[07:37] <C> my batteries on my bluetooth mouse died, and apparently it does not re-connect automatically..
[07:37] <insta> unimatrix9: virtual machines + thin clients?
[07:37] <rollerskatejamms> C: press the connect button on the bottom?
[07:37] <C> i was wondering if anyone knew what i should do to get it to quickly re-scan and re-connect
[07:37] <C> ??
[07:37] <drwxr-xr-x> unimatrix9: what do you mean?  you could install ubuntu... and kill off the update manager
[07:37] <jlilly> unimatrix9: vmware... just run a virtualized copy of ubuntu
[07:37] <QuixoticJ> im very desperate to know what is handling the default dvd / cd coping of ubuntu when I just right click the disc and I get a copy option. I just tested it and I am very amazed and must know how the heck its doing it so good with something just built in like that.
[07:37] <C> yea..roller.. did that
[07:37] <fierycleric> eyequeue: you could a very big /etc/issue file
[07:37] <drwxr-xr-x> unimatrix9: then it'll never update ever again!
[07:37] <eyequeue> fierycleric, yeah, though not tonight.  do you kind of have a feel for what "clear" in ~/.bash_logout would do for you, logging out of console on tty1 as your user
[07:38] <eyequeue> fierycleric, lol, true
[07:38] <Flannel> rollerskatejamms: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Grub_configure_examples#Vga_-_Resolution_settings  someone gave that link
[07:38] <crdlb> QuixoticJ: it's using nautilus-cd-burner
[07:38] <phixxor> drwxr-xr-x: Let's call them iMac for the one doing the ssh, and destination for the one i'm sshing into
[07:38] <NETWizz> Audacity with lame, Gnomad 2 mp3 player, filezilla, firefox2, google earth, skype, vmware, audio tag utility, VLC, codecs, Microsoft Office, Dvd Decrypter, Dvd Shrink, Avant Window Navigator, Beryl, Gaim, and Acrobat reader
[07:38] <crdlb> which just runs cdrecord at some level
[07:38] <NETWizz> How did I do?
[07:38] <drwxr-xr-x> nautilus-cd-burner handles demuxing DVDs ?
[07:38] <phixxor> drwxr-xr-x: the iMac has the empty file
[07:38] <fierycleric> eyequeue: i see what you are trying to do....
[07:38] <C> anyone?
[07:38] <NETWizz> I also installed Crossover, Open Office, NTFS3G
[07:39] <EADG> rollerskatejamms: vga=791 is 1200x800, thats the only one i know.
[07:39] <eyequeue> fierycleric, once you mentioned /etc/issue, i could tell you did :)
[07:39] <Flannel> !away > azteech
[07:39] <QuixoticJ> i dont know what demuxing means but it seems to be making perfectly fine copies of my dvds im trying it right now.
[07:39] <NETWizz> and K3B and Azureus
[07:39] <NETWizz> I think Ubuntu Kicks ass
[07:39] <rollerskatejamms> Flannel: I need 1280x800 :-P
[07:39] <drwxr-xr-x> phixxor: so on iMac, is there anything like ForwardX11 No in /etc/ssh/ssh_config ?
[07:39] <Vistasux> how do i uninstalll apache2 from console?
[07:39] <schueler> hi
[07:39] <NETWizz> I hve more software on my ubuntu machine than Windows
[07:39] <QuixoticJ> this is so amazing i dont need some fancy dvd cloning program im freaking out here.
[07:39] <C> anyone know what i should do?
[07:39] <Flannel> rollerskatejamms: I'm not sure widescreen framebuffers exist.  Heh.
[07:39] <insta> QuixoticJ: do you ever work with ISO files?
[07:39] <NETWizz> ANd unlike Windows, Ubuntu doesn't feel the need to start 300 things at startup
[07:39] <rollerskatejamms> Flannel: grr.
[07:39] <budluva> Vistasux: sudo apt-get remove apache2
[07:39] <EADG> rollerskatejamms: vga=791 is 1200x800, thats the only one i know.
[07:39] <drwxr-xr-x> QuixoticJ: you need more excitement
[07:39] <C> i dont know what to do to reconnect my bluetooth
[07:39] <schueler> fuck you
[07:39] <eyequeue> azteech, ask the bot about !away and !repeating ;-)
[07:39] <Flannel> Vistasux: Feisty or Edgy/Dapper?
[07:40] <QuixoticJ> insta on windows i did ya alot.
[07:40] <tonyyarusso> !ohmy | schueler

[07:40] <QuixoticJ> insta but this isnt needing an iso or anything im jsut right clicking the dvd and boom copy right there.
[07:40] <C> i was wondering if anyone knew what i should do to get it to quickly re-scan and re-connect
[07:40] <insta> QuixoticJ: check this out ... drop to a terminal, put a CD in ... cat /dev/cdrom > ~/myfile.iso
[07:40] <QuixoticJ> insta is it making isos of the things its coping? or just storing them tempoarily some where?
[07:40] <Flannel> Vistasux: sudo apt-get remove --purge apache2 apache2.2-common apache2-mpm-worker

[07:41] <NETWizz> What software do you install?
[07:41] <QuixoticJ> insta where can I read bout this built in burning software im so amazed I need to know what its using.
[07:41] <insta> QuixoticJ: I don't know
[07:41] <drwxr-xr-x> phixxor: on the destination machine, then restart ssh, if you can
[07:41] <eyequeue> cva, forgive my nosiness, but what use is bluetooth acomplishing there for you?  hardware i mean
[07:41] <Flannel> Vistasux: please don't paste.  Do you have another package manager running?
[07:41] <insta> Why do you need to know what it's using?
[07:41] <phixxor> drwxr-xr-x: k I have to leave
[07:41] <carbine>  I have Feisty installed, and am using a Broadcom wireless card which honestly seems to work right out of the box. I want to use Wifi-Radar to connect to WPA networks, but I'm not sure what to put for the driver in it. WPA supplicant is installed..
[07:41] <NETWizz> Just asking
[07:41] <eyequeue> C not cva, sorry
[07:41] <rollerskatejamms> Flannel: you're right it doesn't work. I guess I'll try 1024x768
[07:41] <drwxr-xr-x> phixxor: also make sure you ssh -v , and see if there's anything more descriptive in your error messages
[07:41] <NETWizz> sort of a survey
[07:41] <QuixoticJ> this is amazing I thought I was going to have to hunt around for dvd burning software to make movie copies.
[07:41] <C> cva?
[07:41] <Vistasux> yes
[07:41] <Vistasux> and sorry for pastin
[07:41] <NETWizz> Use DVD Decrypter
[07:41] <Gulpi> hi
[07:41] <Gulpi> hi
[07:41] <Gulpi> hi
[07:41] <C> i just had my BT working a while ago, but when my batteries in the mouse died, the mouse once i put the batteries back in , did not re-connect
[07:42] <C> DVD Decrypter is mazing!
[07:42] <C> too bad its not in development any more
[07:42] <eyequeue> C ... (xchat converted that to "cva" before) forgive my nosiness, but what use is bluetooth acomplishing there for you?  hardware i mean
[07:42] <Gulpi> germany
[07:42] <Flannel> Vistasux: You'll need to wait for that to finish (or close it if its not doing anything) before using apt-get
[07:42] <C> mouse / keyboard
[07:42] <Vistasux> can i reinstall apache2 on top of php5?
[07:42] <unimatrix9> i really need an program that can "roll back" or "freeze" an ubuntu installation , for school and kiosk use, all tips are welcome!
[07:42] <Gulpi> fuck you
[07:42] <carbine>  What do I put for driver under WPA in Wifi Radar?
[07:42] <Flannel> Vistasux: Eh?  What?  Yes.  Notreally "ontop"
[07:42] <QuixoticJ> netwizz I dont think i need it. somehow the built in burning is making copies of the movies.
[07:42] <insta> unimatrix9: are you even there or just a bot?
[07:42] <C> my keyboard is still working, but when the batt's on the mouse died , after putting fresh batteries in, it wont reconnect

[07:42] <Brian1> Hello my fellow feathered friends.  I'm having a bit of a spot with a TV tuner card - it's an older one in a newer system.  BT878.  I can get picture but I can't get any sound out of my soundcard from it.  I can, however, get sound from it when I plug my headphones directly into the tuner card.
[07:43] <drwxr-xr-x> unimatrix9: what does that even mean
[07:43] <Gulpi> sorry
[07:43] <Vistasux> i unistalled apache2 without uninstalling php5, can i reinstall apach2 and will it work?
[07:43] <Gulpi> fuck

[07:43] <C> i got it working
[07:43] <C> lil magic
[07:43] <C> :O
[07:43] <C> :)
[07:43] <telejedi> how can i best backup my system - feisty ???
[07:43] <BHSPitMonkey> ty tonyyarusso
[07:43] <unimatrix9> insta : thats an fresh ubuntu install , then some program like deep freeze, that preserves your install, so it does not get messed up, and on reboot everything is as it was
[07:43] <eyequeue> C congrats, what was the fix?
[07:43] <fah> does anyone know how to get /etc/network/interfaces automatically read upon inserting a wireless card?
[07:44] <Flannel> Vistasux: "apache2" didn't remove anything important.  You need to remove "apache2.2-common", why are you shuffling all this stuff?
[07:44] <fah> or is that beyond the scope of this channel?
[07:44] <insta> unimatrix9: ok, how many machines are you talking about using here?
[07:44] <Flannel> !enter | C
[07:44] <ubotu> C: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[07:44] <unimatrix9> we use for windows deep freeze , or reborn cards
[07:44] <drwxr-xr-x> telejedi: do you have a cd burner?  do you have an external drive?  tape drive?
[07:44] <unimatrix9> school project ( many pc' s )
[07:44] <QuixoticJ> netwizz dvd decrypter im guessing is to get past commercial dvd anti coping protection type stuff right ?
[07:44] <Vistasux> i was trying to pw protect a dir now its screwed up, and i justy want to reinstall all this crap
[07:44] <Vistasux> Flannel will it work?
[07:44] <Flannel> unimatrix9: have you looked into edubuntu's thinclient thing?
[07:44] <fah> does anyone here know what the /etc/network/interfaces file is?
[07:44] <C> sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth start
[07:44] <eyequeue> telejedi, "best" is opinion, but i'm a huge fan of "ubiquity" for remote backups ... you might accomplish *your* needs with a dvd burning app though, you know?
[07:44] <NETWizz> Yes, exactly
[07:45] <NETWizz> What else would it be fore?
[07:45] <unimatrix9> hmm, most are stand alone , and yes i looked into that
[07:45] <NETWizz> for
[07:45] <Flannel> Vistasux: why are you wanting to reinstall apache?  (why not just keep installed?)  did you break the configuration?
[07:45] <C> threw that in terminal and got it to go
[07:45] <telejedi> drwxr-xr-x: yes there is a dvd/cd-burner - but i want to sync my sys on another hd ...
[07:45] <fah> does anyone know what the /etc/network/interfaces card is?
[07:45] <Vistasux> yes it wont work now its says internal screw up!
[07:45] <drwxr-xr-x> telejedi: rsync
[07:45] <unimatrix9> And i am not aware that edubuntu has an roll back option...does it?
[07:45] <QuixoticJ> netwizz i was exspecting that. Thats y I was about to start hunting for some program like the one you just mentioned. But I think the built in dvd copy when you right click the movie seems to be doing just that. I dont know how its possible but it seems to be working fine.
[07:45] <Vistasux> now it doesnt work damn
[07:45] <Flannel> Vistasux: sudo apt-get remove --purge apache2 apache2.2-common apache2-mpm-worker
[07:46] <drwxr-xr-x> telejedi: if you want to keep track of the actual diffs between rsynings, look up 'rsync' and 'snapshot'
[07:46] <insta> unimatrix9: the difference between a unix and windows machine is that unix machines don't require things like deepfreeze.  normal users can't make *any* changes to the machine itself
[07:46] <rollerskatejamms> Flannel: Well . . . its no 1280x800 widescreen, but its better then the default. Thanks for your help.
[07:46] <Flannel> Vistasux: then after that's done, reinstall apache2, and apache2-mod-php5
[07:46] <eyequeue> telejedi, ubiquity uses ssh to transmit a gpg-encrypted set of files to a remote server, the only thing that you need to have on the remote and is a ssh-accessible account, if that's what you want to use
[07:46] <carbine>  What do I put under "Driver" in Wifi Radar for WPA?
[07:46] <Jas1> Does Mcafee Security work in ubuntu?
[07:46] <rollerskatejamms> Jas1: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
[07:46] <Jas1> probably not huh?
[07:46] <NETWizz> Quixoticj, Um I doubt the built in copy rips CSS
[07:46] <rollerskatejamms> Jas1: Windows software does not run on ubuntu.
[07:46] <eyequeue> fah, many do, but "man 5 interfaces" can tell you details
[07:46] <Vistasux> dpkg - warning: while removing apache2.2-common, directory `/var/www' not empty so not removed. ,Flannel this is what it said
[07:46] <drwxr-xr-x> Jas1: do they make a linux version, that would rule.
[07:47] <unimatrix9> insta : not true , you can delete the panel, delete the menu, delete programs, although you can restrict that a bit, there are many things , and that why we need an solution to that
[07:47] <Flannel> Vistasux: that's fine.
[07:47] <rollerskatejamms> drwxr-xr-x: how would that rule.
[07:47] <rollerskatejamms> drwxr-xr-x: you dont need it on linux
[07:47] <Jas1> I have a subscription with six months left
[07:47] <pbr503> does anyone know what the /etc/network/interfaces file is?
[07:47] <insta> unimatrix9: no, that's the local user's home folder
[07:47] <insta> that's NOT the machine itsel
[07:47] <rollerskatejamms> Jas1: you dont need it.
[07:47] <rollerskatejamms> exit
[07:47] <balarka> hello
[07:47] <eyequeue> telejedi, oh and yes, rsync is sweet (ubiquity uses the rsync protocol for the actual transfers btw)
[07:47] <balarka> insta: hello
[07:47] <gonnaeatthat> Flannel, i know you hate automatix but if i get it to load a few things then uninstall will i keep the packages i installed with it?
[07:47] <Jas1> rollerskatejamms: that's true
[07:47] <pbr503> no one?
[07:47] <drwxr-xr-x> pbr503: it's a file, what about it
[07:47] <NETWizz> Jas1, it runs on Wine
[07:47] <insta> balarka: sup
[07:47] <Wiseguy> hey guys, is there some sort of ubuntu way of setting up a samba share?
[07:47] <Vistasux> Flannel it says fail
[07:48] <NETWizz> on top of Ubuntu
[07:48] <NETWizz> I am telling you that it runs extrmely well too
[07:48] <QuixoticJ> netwizz is there any way i can verify. information about the built in one. And is dvd decrypter one of the best for doing real straight movie copies? Id like to read about each because I need to have some form of coping setup for my family member and it has to be easy for them to do or ill be forced to install windows for htem =(
[07:48] <unimatrix9> ok, you are right there, i could make more users, so when one is messed up i can use the next...
[07:48] <drwxr-xr-x> gonnaeatthat: it just installs deb files, the deb files will still be on your system somewhere
[07:48] <pbr503> drwx; do you know how to get it read whenever you insert a pcmcia card?
[07:48] <bimberi> Wiseguy: System -> Administration -> Shared Folders
[07:48] <Vistasux> Flannel im screwed if this doesnt work
[07:48] <Flannel> gonnaeatthat: believe so.  But, you still run the risk of it screwing things up, even with just installing "a few things"
[07:48] <Flannel> Vistasux: what error did it give?
[07:48] <telejedi> drwxr-xr-x: thanx - will have a look
[07:48] <Flannel> !paste |  Vistasux
[07:48] <ubotu> Vistasux: 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)
[07:48] <Flannel> Vistasux: paste it there
[07:48] <unimatrix9> good tip, keep on going...:P
[07:48] <Jas1> netwizz: okay
[07:48] <NETWizz> DVD Decrypter is great
[07:48] <gonnaeatthat> ah ill just install the deb files themselves then
[07:48] <insta> unimatrix9: or you could create a user, configure it like you want it, and have a script which restores the home directory on logout
[07:48] <NETWizz> It takes a movie and creates an 8 GB Rip of it
[07:48] <Vistasux> what?
[07:48] <gonnaeatthat> at least i asked before doing so :) rather than get mad at ubuntu
[07:48] <NETWizz> The rip is a .ISO and a .MDS
[07:48] <budluva> can someone help me here, i have an x264 sample here that will play out of the box in vlc on my laptop, but on my desktop i can see the first frame and thats it, audio is fine, no skipping or anything
[07:48] <Vistasux> this is not easy
[07:49] <drwxr-xr-x> that doesn't sound very free software like
[07:49] <NETWizz> There is no encryption or anything
[07:49] <drwxr-xr-x> i'm offended
[07:49] <unimatrix9> yes thats what we want. any how to some where?
[07:49] <Vistasux> please help me flannel
[07:49] <NETWizz> Then I open it in DVD Shrink and Compress it to about 4.36 GB and burn it
[07:49] <Flannel> Vistasux: pastebin the error it gave you.
[07:49] <Ta1> Anybody know of a reader for Linux that reads Tomeraider files?
[07:49] <Vistasux> invoke-rc.d: initscript apache2, action "start" failed.
[07:49] <eyequeue> NETWizz, m d esss?  not m d five?
[07:49] <QuixoticJ> netwizz ya thats too many steps for my family member.
[07:49] <gonnaeatthat> drwxr-xr-x, ever use gdebi installer? that any good?
[07:49] <Flannel> Vistasux: It gave you that error when you removed apache?
[07:49] <danlock2> omg, i hate fedora core 4
[07:50] <mikey_sd> budluva: sounds like a video codec prob. on the desktop
[07:50] <QuixoticJ> netwizz i need some type of way to make it just a few brainless clicks for them. like insert movie copy movie burn movie done.
[07:50] <Vistasux> no when i reinstalled it
[07:50] <drwxr-xr-x> gonnaeatthat: i have no idea what that is.  i install single deb files with sudo dpkg -i filename.deb
[07:50] <gonnaeatthat> ok
[07:50] <_Codeman_> I can't seem to get a program to rip+encode a cd to mp3, I've been trying all day can anyone help me?
[07:50] <Flannel> Vistasux: do "sudo apache2ctl start", what does it say?
[07:50] <budluva> mikey_sd: well how can i re-install my codecs? i dont understand why it wouldn't work on the desktop, both are new feisty installs
[07:50] <eyequeue> NETWizz, md5 is a "hash", commonly used for verifying the integrity of files transferred from an site, like iso files
[07:50] <gonnaeatthat> ill terminal it out :) im jsut trying to find easy ways for new ubuntu users :) terminal is intimidating for the guys i converted
[07:50] <mikey_sd> same version of vlc on both?
[07:51] <pbr503> 755: is that a no?
[07:51] <unimatrix9> thanx for the tips, i will look into them all..
[07:51] <eyequeue> NETWizz, run "md5sum yourisofilenamehere.iso" to see if the output is the same as the .md5 file from the site
[07:52] <Ta1> Any tomeraider readers for LInux?
[07:52] <Jas1> Does anyone play Armagetron Advanced?
[07:52] <Wiseguy> bimberi, is there anyway to make it so i dont need to login?
[07:53] <Vistasux> Flannel, when i type localhost in firefox i see apache2 logo, however when i typr in 127.0.1.1 its gives me an error any idea?
[07:53] <rollerskatejamms> Is it possible to set up an automatic nickserv password in irssi?
[07:53] <drwxr-xr-x> why not 127.0.0.1
[07:53] <therealnanotube> Vistasux: it's supposed to be 127.0.0.1
[07:53] <Flannel> Vistasux: because localhost is 127.0.0.1
[07:53] <pbr503> wiseguy; if you have a USB flash drive you can use pam_usb to bypass logins
[07:53] <drwxr-xr-x> what does /etc/hosts say
[07:53] <NETWizz> I know about md5sum
[07:53] <eyequeue> Vistasux, you probably want 127.0.01, not 127.0.1.1
[07:53] <Vistasux> im trying to view this page on apache2 from a differerend cpu on my lan
[07:53] <NETWizz> But what do you want me to check?
[07:53] <eyequeue> Vistasux, you probably want 127.0.0.1, not 127.0.1.1 (typo before)
[07:53] <Wiseguy> pbr503, nah i dont want that
[07:53] <bimberi> Wiseguy: Login to Gnome?
[07:53] <nickname> anyone do an install on a fujitsu 3400?
[07:53] <gonnaeatthat> drwxr-xr-x, debi installer automatically does the terminal commands and installs packages pretty neat little tool
[07:53] <drwxr-xr-x> rollerskatejamms: in the 'server' stanza for that network in ~/.irssi/config you put password = "yourmom";
[07:53] <Flannel> Vistasux: that's probably a 192.168.X.X IP then, not 127.0.1.1
[07:54] <Wiseguy> bimberi, no the samba share
[07:54] <disinterested> i have tried every download i can find of mozilla-mplayer and with everyone of them i dont get any conf files
[07:54] <Vistasux> it used to work, now it doesn't
[07:54] <DigitalNinja> Has anyone tried recording audio in Feisty?
[07:54] <gonnaeatthat> digital i did some video
[07:54] <gonnaeatthat> from my camcorder worked great
[07:54] <drwxr-xr-x> ok i answered 100 questions, someone fix my sound after hibernation problem please
[07:54] <rollerskatejamms> drwxr-xr-x: yeah ok. now i just have to figure out how to create a freenode stanza
[07:54] <drwxr-xr-x> rollerskatejamms: /network add freenode
[07:54] <Flannel> drwxr-xr-x: Thats a known issue.  You might check launchpad
[07:54] <NETWizz> Oh, I have a fix for you
[07:54] <NETWizz> Reboot
[07:55] <drwxr-xr-x> rollerskatejamms: /server add -network freenode irc.freenode.net
[07:55] <Vistasux> like im hostin it on 192.168.1.66   when i type that in on my xp box i dont see anything, yet on my linux box when i type localhost i see the apache logo,,any idea?
[07:55] <drwxr-xr-x> NETWizz: install plan9
[07:55] <_Codeman_> I can't seem to get a program to rip+encode a cd to mp3, I've been trying all day can anyone help me?
[07:55] <bimberi> Wiseguy: ah.  I've found that if windows password is the same as samba password then it doesn't ask for login
[07:55] <NETWizz> isn't that a Bell Labs OS?
[07:55] <drwxr-xr-x> rollerskatejamms: then manually edit .irssi/config and /reload
[07:55] <Madpilot> _Codeman_, SoundJuicer will rip to mp3...
[07:55] <drwxr-xr-x> NETWizz: it's an OS for comedians like you
[07:55] <NETWizz> Comedian's?
[07:55] <punsad> are there any particularly good perl editors available in ubuntu?
[07:55] <therealnanotube> Vistasux: are you saying you want to access your apache server from a /different/ computer? in that case, don't use the localhost ip. localhost means "this very same computer i'm typing this on", as does 127.0.0.1. to access between computers use a real ip. ;)
[07:55] <NETWizz> I don't think so
[07:55] <carbine>  I'm not able to get WPA working..
[07:55] <NETWizz> Plan 9 Sucks
[07:55] <Madpilot> punsad, gedit
[07:56] <NETWizz> sudo apt-get install wpa-supplicant
[07:56] <drwxr-xr-x> punsad: vim, emacs, eclipse
[07:56] <Vistasux> i am and its not working
[07:56] <carbine>  I've got wpa_supplicant
[07:56] <oscar> Hello.. Somebody can help me? NAUTILUS use all the CPU and after some minutes I need restart my computer because all the sistem is slowly... Some idea?
[07:56] <Wiseguy> bimberi, hmmm, well the passwords are the same, but no luck
[07:56] <NETWizz> clean install?
[07:56] <NETWizz> Just kidding
[07:56] <therealnanotube> punsad: scite is a good code editor, it does perl among other things...
[07:56] <zilly66> !java
[07:56] <ubotu> To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[07:56] <eyequeue> punsad, i like "vim" myself, and there's a vim-perl pacakge too
[07:56] <Wiseguy> and now the folder isnt even showing up from the windows PC anymore
[07:56] <NETWizz> I would remove and re-install ubuntu-desktop with a clean xorg.conf
[07:56] <bullgard4> My Evolution spell checker does not find two words. To what file should I add these two words? (My  locale is de_DE.)
[07:56] <drwxr-xr-x> automatix is really good at install java for you!
[07:56] <Jas1> is gimp anything like paintdotnet?
[07:56] <carbine>  I'm using a broadcom card, I can connect using wifi-radar, but I don't know what to put for Driver in wifi radar to let me connect to wpa
[07:57] <punsad> thanks all for the suggestions.
[07:57] <Vistasux> Flannel?
[07:57] <pbr503> do any of you run ubuntu on a laptop?
[07:57] <therealnanotube> pbr503: i do
[07:57] <NETWizz> I run it on a laptop
[07:57] <NETWizz> and on a desktop and at work too
[07:57] <drwxr-xr-x> Jas1: sort of , the gimp likes opening 423 different toolbars on your screen though
[07:57] <eyequeue> punsad, i think vim-perl allows you to extend vim using perl routines of your own?
[07:57] <pbr503> do you use a pcmcia card for your networking?
[07:57] <therealnanotube> Jas1: depends on what paintdotnet is like. :) gimp is kinda like photoshop-lite
[07:57] <NETWizz> In fact, I convinced our school district to run Ubuntu in a computer lab of 37 computers
[07:57] <Jas1> drwxr-xr-x: lol okay
[07:57] <bimberi> Wiseguy: this is after you've done the first connection.
[07:57] <carbine>  Any ideas on what to use for driver?
[07:57] <Och4> hello, does anyone know how to tell a launcher to launch a mount iso towards a dir?
[07:57] <punsad> eyequeue: interesting
[07:57] <therealnanotube> pbr503: no, i have a built-in wifi card.
[07:57] <NETWizz> The teacher of the lab reports no problems with Ubuntu
[07:57] <Wiseguy> bimberi, yeah after i tried and failed
[07:58] <dss> pbr503: i do as well
[07:58] <Jas1> therealnanotube: pdn is like photoshoop but not as fancy
[07:58] <therealnanotube> NETWizz: nice work!
[07:58] <NETWizz> She reports her lab works better than it did with Windows
[07:58] <carbine>  Looking for a nice gui method for WPA networking
[07:58] <rollerskatejamms> Ah I got it all working now thanks.
[07:58] <telejedi> may the force be with you! - bye ...
[07:58] <drwxr-xr-x> Jas1: there's something called gimpshop that runs gimp in just one window instead of 233, so it's a little easier
[07:58] <NETWizz> I used Partimage
[07:58] <NETWizz> Securing it was the big challenge
[07:58] <oscar> NAUTILUS use all the CPU and after some minutes I need restart my computer because all the sistem is slowly... Some idea?
[07:58] <sente> helo
[07:58] <sente> hello
[07:58] <bimberi> Wiseguy: hmmm, that is a hmmm
[07:58] <punsad> pbr503: when I put ubuntu on my thinkpad (with PCMCIA card)... it 'just worked'
[07:58] <NETWizz> I installed Microsoft Office on Wine and used Windows Group Policy to capture the registry settings
[07:58] <eyequeue> punsad, if you are new to vim, i highly recommend spending a few minutes running the "vimtutor" program btw
[07:58] <therealnanotube> Jas1: in that case, maybe gimp is like pdn. ;) if you go to gimp.org, you can see screenshots and feature list and stuff like that, so you can figure out what it's like
[07:58] <NETWizz> Then I opened Crossover's regedit
[07:58] <dss> punsad: yup same here, thinkpad t41p
[07:58] <NETWizz> and imported those settings nto the registry
[07:58] <punsad> eyequeue: been using vi for a while now
[07:58] <sente> i already have XP installed on the only partition on my laptop.  Can I install Ubuntu and duel-boot without having to ReInstall XP?
[07:58] <rollerskatejamms> How can I go to the main server window in irssi?
[07:58] <NETWizz> Hence, I locked down office in Wine
[07:59] <Och4> does anyone understand launcher files?  and know how to work them?
[07:59] <NETWizz> Yeah
[07:59] <NETWizz> They are easy
[07:59] <Madpilot> sente, yes
[07:59] <NETWizz> Open them in a text editor
[07:59] <rollerskatejamms> sente: yes.
[07:59] <BlackDalek> Anyone know what this message means? "/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off (initramfs) [55.880400]  scsi 0:0:0:0 rejecting I/O to offline device"????
[07:59] <eyequeue> punsad, learn the features you need today, and come back to the rest "next week" :)
[07:59] <Jas1> therealnanotube: cool I'll go there rite now :)
[07:59] <sente> Thanks guys
[07:59] <eyequeue> punsad, ah cool then
[07:59] <therealnanotube> Jas1: enjoy ;)
[07:59] <sente> what do I need to do to start?
[07:59] <pbr503> i am just having a problem that when I have my wireless card inserted in the laptop when I boot up everything works great but if I do a "pccardctl eject ; pccardctl insert" it will NOT read the settings in /etc/network/interfaces
[07:59] <wims> sente:  you could, but you'd have to resize your xp partition
[07:59] <bimberi> Wiseguy: I am in a full-on Windows domain environment here.  Perhaps that makes a difference.
[07:59] <nolan_> ubuntu warned me that "windows wouldn't like the partition cluster size"
[07:59] <NETWizz> Can  I run Spylocked on ubuntu
[07:59] <sente> wims: recommend software?
[07:59] <nolan_> is that a big dea?
[07:59] <NETWizz> that woudl be awsomeI want to install some spyware on Wine
[08:00] <rollerskatejamms> NETWizz: Haha I thought of that once.
[08:00] <punsad> pbr503: why do you need to issue those pccardctl commands?
[08:00] <aigozhe> can feisty+amd64 install wine?
[08:00] <wims> sente:  i think gparted is on the ubuntu live cd that would do the job
[08:00] <Wiseguy> bimberi, yeah i dont have a domain controller... just trying to get the plain old file sharing working
[08:00] <rollerskatejamms> aigozhe: i think so
[08:00] <therealnanotube> BlackDalek: google the part before the first open parenthesis
[08:00] <drwxr-xr-x> sente: if you stick in the ubuntu CD, and start installing, you will have an opportunity to resize your disk drive partitions
[08:00] <NETWizz>  Boo Hoo plain text
[08:00] <NETWizz> Geeze
[08:00] <sente> damn.
[08:00] <NETWizz> That should take about 5 minutes
[08:00] <Och4> netwizz, got a question for ya then, do you know how to tell a launcher to launch a mount iso towards a dir   ie: mount file "apple" needs to mount the dir of "orange" but it wants to mount off an "pineapple"  did i use ya yet??? do you know what i mean?
[08:00] <gonnaeatthat> sente, are you wanting to dual boot?
[08:00] <drwxr-xr-x> sente: then you make one big enough to fit ubuntu into it
[08:00] <aigozhe> rollerskatejamms : how to?
[08:00] <BlackDalek> i accidently closed the chat.. oops :)
[08:00] <wims> sente: if not there's always partitionmagic, but thats payware
[08:00] <sente> so everything will just work, providing I have 10gigs (or however much space) free?
[08:00] <oscar> Somebody know what Nautilus work so slowly in my computer and use all the CPU?
[08:00] <NETWizz> System Administration Shared Folders
[08:01] <Vistasux> * Forcing reload of web server (apache2)...                                    Syntax error on line 3 of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/mod_python.conf:
[08:01] <Vistasux> Invalid command 'PythonHandler', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
[08:01] <Vistasux>                                                                          [fail] 
[08:01] <NETWizz> It is honestly more work in Windows to setup a share
[08:01] <QuixoticJ> so wine is a program that lets you run windows apps?
[08:01] <drwxr-xr-x> sente: it's probably easier to boot with a live cd, and rearrange your partitions with 'gparted'
[08:01] <Vistasux> Flanell any ideas?
[08:01] <drwxr-xr-x> sente: there are 800,000 tutorials for this on google
[08:01] <sente> what are the chances gparted screws up my filesystem?
[08:01] <Jas1> Does anyone know of any partition manipulators for windows?
[08:01] <gonnaeatthat> sente, it just depends on how many packages you want to install is all
[08:01] <Wiseguy> this is weird... i cant even see the listing on the windows box anymore
[08:01] <drwxr-xr-x> sente: more than 0, but you'll probably be fine
[08:01] <gonnaeatthat> sente, very slim chance just do not format existing windows partition
[08:01] <punsad> NETWizz: isn't it as simple as right clicking and click 'share this folder?'
[08:01] <aigozhe> Quixoticj: yes
[08:01] <gonnaeatthat> sente,  try wubi though
[08:01] <NETWizz> Och4, you need a script
[08:01] <gonnaeatthat> wubi is the new way to install man
[08:01] <NETWizz> A shell script perhaps
[08:01] <drwxr-xr-x> gonnaeatthat: what the hell is that
[08:02] <NETWizz> with a mount command in it
[08:02] <e501> Would I be able to change my root password from a live CD?
[08:02] <sente> does wireless work well 'by default' on ubuntu?
[08:02] <oscar> Somebody can help me?? IF i  write in the console: sudo nautilus.. This problem appear NAUTILUS use all the CPU and after some minutes I need restart my computer because all the sistem is slowly... Some idea?
[08:02] <sente> or should i have to expect to use a hardwire
[08:02] <gonnaeatthat> drwxr-xr-x, a revolutionary new way to dual boot
[08:02] <therealnanotube> Jas1: why you need a partition editor for windows? just use gparted from the ubuntu livecd. :)
[08:02] <punsad> sente: depends very much on your wirless chipset
[08:02] <NETWizz> @punsad, in Windows sometimes it is that easy
[08:02] <NETWizz> if you make an allowance in Security Center
[08:02] <oscar> libgnomevfs-WARNING **: Failed to open session DBUS connection: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
[08:02] <oscar> Volume monitoring will not work.
[08:02] <pbr503> punsad; we have two wireless routers at work and it's easier to just flush out all the settings by doing a pccardctl eject/insert since they have different subnet schemes
[08:02] <gonnaeatthat> without setting up a linux partition to really test software, comes in a windows installer and does not use grub
[08:02] <sente> Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
[08:02] <gonnaeatthat> check it out at http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html
[08:02] <drwxr-xr-x> e501: you would boot with your live cd, chroot to the root device of your computer, THEN run passwd
[08:02] <gonnaeatthat> cool idea
[08:02] <gonnaeatthat> and works
[08:02] <gonnaeatthat> ive tested on 4 machines so far
[08:02] <Och4>  netwizz, i got one already. kinda, the sprint just tells it to boot in windows mode. how would i get a script to do what i want it to do?
[08:03] <NETWizz> Boot any linux live CD
[08:03] <NETWizz> such as ubuntu
[08:03] <e501> thanks, drwxr-xr-x.
[08:03] <NETWizz> Then open shell
[08:03] <gonnaeatthat> sente, that wireless card works in feisty, i am using it required no drivers to load manually
[08:03] <NETWizz> and do sudo
[08:03] <punsad> pbr503: that's easier than just issuing some different iwconfig commands?
[08:03] <NETWizz> Get to #
[08:03] <zilly66> !dvd
[08:03] <ubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[08:03] <NETWizz> Then chroot /dev/sda1
[08:03] <gonnaeatthat> sente, check the link i posted
[08:03] <NETWizz> or sda2
[08:03] <NETWizz> or hda1
[08:03] <NETWizz> whatever
[08:03] <aigozhe> Quixoticj: but i installed a 64bit linux
[08:03] <NETWizz> make it your /
[08:03] <pbr503> punsad; i mean it's definitely easy to make a script that just does a "iwconfig ath0 essid work1 ; ifconfig ath0 192.168.0.50 up ; route add default gw 192.168.0.1"
[08:03] <Och4> netwizz, if your talking to me, put my name infront of ya sentence. ie: ocha,
[08:03] <pbr503> but it bothers me cant it doesnt work as it should
[08:03] <Och4> netwizz, och4,*****
[08:04] <QuixoticJ> aigozhe so for programs or functionality that i need that i had in windows i can just wine it ?
[08:04] <drwxr-xr-x> QuixoticJ: some work, most don't
[08:04] <gonnaeatthat> drwxr-xr-x, you check that link out? pretty cool huh
[08:04] <punsad> pbr503: so you just want to be able to pop it out and popit back in... makes sense... seems like you should be able to do that..
[08:04] <sente> gonnaeatthat: damn. Wubi seems sweet
[08:04] <Jas1> therealnanotube: my live cd won't boot because of my video card, so I need to edit the partitions to install ubuntu before I can change anything
[08:04] <drwxr-xr-x> gonnaeatthat: im afraid of links in this channel
[08:04] <drwxr-xr-x> gonnaeatthat: you might be a bad person
[08:04] <therealnanotube> QuixoticJ: check out winehq.org - they have a compatibility list. so you can figure out which progs will work...
[08:04] <Och4> netwizz, i didnt't catch anything ya wrote. i missed it. coudl you rewrite it again with my name infront of it?
[08:04] <pbr503> yes. and I was ABLE to do it before i upgraded to feisty. ;)
[08:04] <eyequeue> QuixoticJ, "sort of"    meaning some games and things may not work, using things that require "weird" access to hardware
[08:04] <punsad> pbr503: what kind of card is it?
[08:04] <gonnaeatthat> drwxr-xr-x, hardly am i am a linux blogger
[08:05] <arooni> hey folks.....  i have a Belkin F5D7230-4 .... and it has a WEP key as security..; i can't connect via my wireless card even though i entered they key right.  i tried using wifi-radar and regular settings in network ... i have a sony laptop with centrino wirless and am running ubuntu 7.04
[08:05] <gonnaeatthat> thats how i know about things, just type wubi in google
[08:05] <NETWizz> !dvd
[08:05] <arooni> please help@!!!!
[08:05] <ubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[08:05] <freeza> theres this awesome tutorial in the ubuntu community for virtualbox and integrating it with gnome for windows apps
[08:05] <drwxr-xr-x> gonnaeatthat: wow you have a livejournal?
[08:05] <therealnanotube> Jas1: when you boot from livecd, then, just choose to boot in safe mode - does that work? if not, choose to boot in text mode, then edit xorg.conf to use the "vesa" driver, then "startx", that should work.
[08:05] <gonnaeatthat> drwxr-xr-x, wordpress custom theme :)
[08:05] <drwxr-xr-x> gonnaeatthat: they use linux there
[08:05] <QuixoticJ> well there is these 2 programs anydvd and clonedvd that my father is use to using in windows. and he will really want them back so he can make copy of movies very easy without any trouble. and im pretty sure he will be pissed if he cant do the same in linux or have to learn some complicated work around so it might be benefical if i can just give him the same apps somehow like through this wine thing. Anyones thoughts ?
[08:06] <punsad> pbr503: does the card require ndiswrapper?
[08:06] <therealnanotube> QuixoticJ: there are dvd copy programs in linux, too.
[08:06] <pbr503> the one in particular is a D-Link WNA-1330
[08:06] <Madpilot> gonnaeatthat, drwxr-xr-x - if you're just chatting, please move to PM or #ubuntu-offtopic - this channel is busy enough. Thanks!
[08:06] <Och4> netwizz, ya still with me?
[08:06] <NETWizz> dvd decrypter is easier to use
[08:06] <NETWizz> Yeah
[08:06] <pbr503> no it does not require ndiswrapper
[08:06] <NETWizz> What can I help you with
[08:06] <pbr503> it uses madwifi
[08:06] <pbr503> and as I said it worked before just fine
[08:06] <therealnanotube> QuixoticJ: check out k9copy, and qdvdauthor
[08:07] <gonnaeatthat> sente, are you going to give wubi a test run?
[08:07] <eyequeue> QuixoticJ, usually, it's nice to have equivalent linux apps for the person to use, from day one, and learn those ... i just don't do movies myself to have recommendations
[08:08] <QuixoticJ> ya hes just really anti learn anything new or complicated so im sure he will just argue and complain with me since me buying him dvdcopy for windows was like the best thing for him ever. he has to make like 2 clicks and insert a blank dvd and hes done.
[08:08] <NETWizz> Just install DVD Shrink
[08:08] <NETWizz> it runs like a champ on Linux
[08:08] <NETWizz> Just install Wine First
[08:08] <sente> gonnaeatthat: yes
[08:08] <therealnanotube> QuixoticJ: so, check out on winehq.org, if dvdcopy runs under wine. if it's listed, then you should be ok.
[08:08] <gonnaeatthat> are there any clonecd or dvd programs for linux?
[08:08] <NETWizz> and set it for NT 4.0 Compatibility
[08:09] <sente> gonnaeatthat: i'm moving files over so i have >4GB to free :P
[08:09] <therealnanotube> gonnaeatthat: k9copy
[08:09] <NETWizz> Just try it
[08:09] <NETWizz> almost everything works under wine
[08:09] <QuixoticJ> and he gets new movies too so im worried that the linux apps may not be able to get passed the protection to make real copies. because on the ubuntu wiki it says k9copy dosent support everything or somehting like that.
[08:09] <freeza> i thought there was a dvd shrink for linux
[08:09] <QuixoticJ> for my self ideally id like toi have everything native linux apps cuss i dont want to do anything with windows anymore its driven me insane.
[08:09] <gonnaeatthat> sente, do you need my gaim or im name incase you need help?
[08:09] <gonnaeatthat> therealnanotube, thanks i need that see if it'll work better than clone :)
[08:09] <insta> alright guys ... I really can't take fighting this stuff anymore.  $20 paypal to the first one who can get me broadcasting to a shoutcast server from linux
[08:09] <eyequeue> QuixoticJ, there's a couple of dirt-simple cd apps that are popular, do you run gnome there for him or kde?
[08:09] <sente> gonnaeatthat: wouldn't hurt :)
[08:09] <QuixoticJ> im running gnome for all my stuff.
[08:10] <exs> how do i schedule ubuntu to shutdown in an hour?
[08:10] <QuixoticJ> his friends borrow him dvds all the time and he copies them so this is important to him. if i can get this to work flawlessly i can put linux on all the computers in the house lol.
[08:10] <NETWizz> This
[08:10] <NETWizz> http://mrbass.org/linux/ubuntu/dvdshrink/
[08:10] <gonnaeatthat> sente,  information is sent incase you need help
[08:10] <NETWizz> This tutorial works perfect
[08:10] <QuixoticJ> im writing all the info down that u guys are giving me btw so thanks alot
[08:10] <NETWizz> Hell it isn't even as hard as the author makes it out to be
[08:10] <NETWizz> It is less than 10 minutes work
[08:10] <therealnanotube> exs: sudo shutdown -h +60
[08:10] <Wiseguy> hmmm, well now the folder shows up but i cant use anything to login
[08:11] <pbr503> stumped?
[08:11] <eyequeue> QuixoticJ, "k3b" might be what he needs, install it on your own box first and play before giving it to him
[08:11] <insta> nobody wants to take me up on $20?
[08:11] <exs> therealnanotube:  thanks. what about hibernate?
[08:11] <QuixoticJ> just to rehash out some of the options you guys suggested i can wine his apps possibly. I can use dvd shrink and possibly get same functionality.
[08:11] <mfmenzer> Hi Folks! Anyone here who know how to get Network-manager to send the hostname on dhcp?
[08:11] <QuixoticJ> eyequeue he will be using my box my parents use my computer when they need too. which is y i was forced to stick with windows so long so they can have their AOL and other silly apps
[08:12] <freeza> download xdvdshrink for ubuntu
[08:12] <ball> Does Ubuntu require a powerful processor?
[08:12] <therealnanotube> exs: no clue... :) there must be a hibernate script somewhere under /etc/acpi (or something like that). you could just run command "sleep 1h; sudo /path/to/hibernatescript"
[08:12] <insta> ball: it runs reasonably comfortably on a 600mhz 128mb ram
[08:13] <QuixoticJ> k3b dvdshrink and wine are my best possible bets then ?
[08:13] <eyequeue> insta, try xmms-liveice
[08:13] <exs> ok
[08:13] <bimberi> ball: it runs ok on my Celeron 466
[08:13] <insta> eyequeue: have
[08:13] <QuixoticJ> thanks alot everyone for all the information ill test as much of it as i can tonight and hopefully he  is happy.
[08:13] <insta> eyequeue: it's likely I'm just a retard
[08:13] <Madpilot> ball, not especially
[08:13] <eyequeue> insta, "apt-cache search shoutcast" should get you a nice list of options to try too
[08:13] <gearw0lf> I installed edubuntu and now want to go back to ubuntu "theme" - but login session doesnt give edubuntu option, just gnome - ideas ?
[08:13] <freeza> QuixoticJ: xdvdshrink is all you need
[08:13] <therealnanotube> exs: on dapper, i have /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh, maybe it's the same on whatever version of ubuntu you've got.
[08:13] <ball> Hmm... wonder what's up with my machine then.
[08:13] <NETWizz> don't think anybody cares about only $20
[08:13] <exs> therealnanotube:  ok
[08:13] <insta> but the same setting for winamp's shoutcast plugin (which does work) fails silently for icecast
[08:13] <NETWizz> it isn't enough money to be important
[08:14] <eyequeue> QuixoticJ, good luck
[08:14] <insta> NETWizz: for a 2 hour job, no, but I seriously doubt it would be
[08:14] <QuixoticJ> freeza you have used xdvdshrink freeza? it is brainless dvd cloning along those lines ?of jsut click and insert blank dvd and no problems with disc protection?
[08:14] <ball> What are we being paid US$ 20 for?
[08:14] <QuixoticJ> freeza if you have tested this your self i will try that one first then.  All of you guys have been so great this my first day running linux really appreciate all the help everyone has been giving me.
[08:14] <NETWizz> $20 is not really worth the effort
[08:14] <kahrytan> QuixoticJ: DVD Shrink is better.
[08:15] <QuixoticJ> kahrytan is xdvdshrink and dvdshrink 2 different things ?
[08:15] <freeza> QuixoticJ: xdvdshrink is basically somewhat of a linux port of dvdshrink
[08:15] <eyequeue> insta, $20 is not something i would throw away :)   but i don't charge for ubunti support like this, myself, ... if i had to fly there to do it in person, i'd sure have you pay my expenses though, heh
[08:15] <kahrytan> QuixoticJ: Yeah. DVDShrink is built for Windows but can work under Wine.
[08:15] <Punkunity> manim not able to get my dell j740 printer to work on feisty...theres absolutely no support for almost ANY dell printer....thats not good
[08:15] <rollerskatejamms> Is there a keyboard shortcut to search in aptitude?
[08:15] <bullgard4> My Evolution spell checker does not find two words. To what file should I add these two words? (My  locale is de_DE.)
[08:15] <Punkunity> I thught dell and linux were cool with each other
[08:16] <rollerskatejamms> Punkunity: they are now :-D
[08:16] <BlackDalek> is there a help channel specific to old intel motherboards on this network?
[08:16] <therealnanotube> rollerskatejamms: just run "sudo aptitude search blabla"
[08:16] <rollerskatejamms> therealnanotube: ooooh! thanks!
[08:16] <ball> BlackDalek: what are you trying to run on it?
[08:16] <danlock2> how do ifigure out my external IP?
[08:16] <therealnanotube> rollerskatejamms: np:)
[08:16] <QuixoticJ> so to use dvdshrink i will still need wine. and to use xdvdshrink i dont ? is there major differences between the 2 apps?
[08:16] <Flannel> therealnanotube, rollerskatejamms, you don't need to sudo to search.
[08:16] <ball> BlackDalek: you could try #hardware
[08:16] <Punkunity> well wheres all the damn drivers for this printer, Dell says this printer and every other one they have isnt supported in linux or Novell
[08:16] <therealnanotube> danlock2: run "ifconfig"
[08:16] <freeza> QuixoticJ: http://dvdshrink.sourceforge.net/ check out the screenshots
[08:16] <rollerskatejamms> therealnanotube: Oh no, see i want the full package description not the one liner.
[08:16] <danlock2> therealnanotube thanks.
[08:16] <ball> (or you could exterminate it ;-)
[08:16] <kahrytan> QuixoticJ: xdvdshrink doesnt have gui i believe.
[08:17] <therealnanotube> rollerskatejamms: sudo aptitude show packagename
[08:17] <Madpilot> Punkunity, checked linuxprinting.org?
[08:17] <rollerskatejamms> therealnanotube: thanks again
[08:17] <QuixoticJ> karhrytan gasp no gui he will die!
[08:17] <freeza> kahrytan: it does now
[08:17] <therealnanotube> rollerskatejamms: but like Flannel says, probably can do without sudo :)
[08:17] <kahrytan> freeza: Oh yeah. It's crappy one. I didnt want to remember it
[08:17] <insta> *sigh*
[08:17] <ball> Are there any lower-traffic Ubuntu channels?
[08:17] <insta> part of what makes this harder is that this machine has no soundcard
[08:17] <rollerskatejamms> therealnanotube: well i already did sudo -i so im good :-D
[08:17] <Punkunity> Madpilot, no not yet but i will....
[08:17] <therealnanotube> rollerskatejamms: yea, sudo doesn't hurt. :)
[08:18] <pbr503> it seems almost as though ifup/ifdown arent running when a pcmcia card is inserted
[08:18] <therealnanotube> rollerskatejamms: it's just not /required/ for a search or show.
[08:18] <freeza> kahrytan: heh well it gets the job done, last time i tried it was a long time ago in suse so im guessing its gotten a lot better
[08:18] <danlock2> therealnanotube: so the part that says inet addr is the right one?
[08:18] <kahrytan> freeza: But if you used DVD Shrink, then you understand. It is much better
[08:18] <therealnanotube> danlock2: yea, that's the one. just make sure you are looking at the right interface, if you have more than one. :)
[08:19] <danlock2> therealnanotube, nope, just me eth0 and my l0
[08:19] <danlock2> errrr lo
[08:19] <danlock2> damn, connection timed out
[08:19] <therealnanotube> danlock2: heh, then eth0 is it. ;)
[08:19] <kahrytan> freeza: It keeps the original menu structure and just shrinks the mpeg files.
[08:19] <danlock2> therealnanotube: so lets say i'm trying to ssh into that......
[08:20] <therealnanotube> danlock2: so, let's say. you type ssh ipaddress. :)
[08:20] <QuixoticJ> kahrytan, freeza but does it also burn it back to dvd onces its done reading it all in one sweep motion ?
[08:20] <rollerskatejamms> I <3 screen
[08:20] <kahrytan> QuixoticJ: It creates an iso.
[08:20] <danlock2> therealnanotube: connection timed out, damn
[08:20] <kahrytan> QuixoticJ: and burns dvd.
[08:20] <therealnanotube> danlock2: are you trying to ssh from a remote machine, or to the same comp?
[08:20] <Punkunity> Madpilot, i dont see my printer here http://www.linuxprinting.org/printer_list.cgi?make=Dell
[08:20] <freeza> kahrytan: yeah i never keep the menus when i rip dvds, i just go straight for the movie
[08:20] <danlock2> therealnanotube: remote
[08:21] <therealnanotube> danlock2: is the comp behind a NAT router?
[08:21] <kahrytan> freeza: What about episode ones?
[08:21] <danlock2> therealnanotube: no
[08:21] <Madpilot> Punkunity, hmm, not a good sign. not sure what to suggest
[08:21] <therealnanotube> danlock2: is the firewall set to pass through incoming port 22?
[08:21] <danlock2> therealnanotube: i would assume so... i'm supposed to be able to do this
[08:21] <danlock2> lol
[08:21] <Punkunity> sux balls, time to go back to windows....anyone know a good way to dual boot form here and set up xp again....
[08:21] <BlackDalek> ball: i got an old intel server board, and I'm trying to install feisty on it.. it's giving some weird error message at boot up about "Expansion ROM not initialised - PCI mass storage controller blah blah blah" - it happens every time you try and boot it with a hard disk connected. It's not related to installing linux - it happens regardless.... which is why I was asking if there might be an intel specific chat channel on this
[08:21] <BlackDalek>  server somewhere.
[08:22] <therealnanotube> danlock2: well, pm me your ip address, and i can try a ping, to see if the machine looks to be "up"
[08:22] <rollerskatejamms> Can somebody reccomend a good textual imap/smtp client, that isn't pine?
[08:22] <ball> BlackDalek: what is the host adaptor that's throwing the error?  Is it integrated?
[08:22] <eyequeue> rollerskatejamms, mutt
[08:22] <freeza> kahrytan: i just do one ep after another and just hit the next button on my dvd player lol
[08:23] <kahrytan> freeza: I like menus.
[08:23] <eyequeue> rollerskatejamms, if you're looking for a Mail User Agent, that is.  otherwise did you mean something like fetchmail?
[08:23] <kahrytan> freeza: I suppose you could shrink ep at a time. and re-author the dvd
[08:23] <kahrytan> freeza: and make your own menu
[08:24] <tondar> how do I install emule on feisty?
[08:24] <freeza> although i never ripped an episode dvd with xdvdshrink since i always had a windows box lying around
[08:24] <eyequeue> rollerskatejamms, if you want a pine replacement, yeah, mutt for the mail side of things and slrn for the newsgroups
[08:25] <kahrytan> Freeza: But you dont now?
[08:25] <BlackDalek> ball: yes and no. There is a built in SCSI host adapter, to which a SCSI hard sik is connected - that makes the error. Also I just put a ATA-133 add in adapter in with a DVD-ROM connected as a test, and it also is making the same error (except for "card in slot 1" instead of motherboard)
[08:25] <BlackDalek> sik=disk
[08:25] <tondar> emule deb??
[08:25] <eyequeue> tondar, sudo apt-get install amule, should do it
[08:25] <freeza> kahrytan: still do, just havent ripped a dvd in over a year
[08:26] <tondar> eyequeue: thnx
[08:26] <eyequeue> tondar, i did "apt-cache search emule" in coming up with that, btw
[08:26] <kahrytan> freeza: So, you don't have a need to backup dvds?
[08:26] <freeza> kahrytan: not really
[08:26] <eyequeue> tondar, i really have no emule experience, so don't know if its a good app, heheh
[08:27] <tondar> eyequeue: I do
[08:27] <tondar> ;)
[08:27] <freeza> kahrytan: i used to when i traveled and just took the copies with me
[08:27] <unimatrix9> we would like to have an script for rollback the users home at logout , so its restored to its original settings, for school workstations, any tips are welcome!
[08:27] <BlackDalek> I've googled for "expansion ROM not initialized" errors and I find millions of results but never seen any solution.
[08:27] <unimatrix9> or an other method..
[08:27] <unimatrix9> :P
[08:27] <kahrytan> freeza: You still burn dvds ?
[08:28] <Och4> does anyone know launcher files????
[08:28] <tondar> how would I search in cache using aptitude ?
[08:28] <Tarelerul> I have a true mobile 1180 internal 802.11b min-pci card ? is that saported ? in 7.04 ubuntu?
[08:29] <therealnanotube> tondar: aptitude search blabla
[08:29] <BlackDalek> I haven't tried booting this intel board with just an IDE hard disk and no SCSI disk connected. I will try that now, see if the error message persists.
[08:29] <eyequeue> tondar, apt-cache show amule, you might also want the -daemon -utils or -utils-gui packages
[08:29] <tondar> eyequeue:
[08:29] <tondar> k
[08:29] <freeza> kahrytan: i burn a movie dvd here and there like when its a dvd for the kids, i let them have at it on the copied ones
[08:29] <eyequeue> tondar, the "apt-cache" command should work fine :)  it doesn't call apt-get really, it just uses the same databases
[08:30] <tondar> how about lookin up if there is a particular package available? using commands
[08:30] <tondar> ?
[08:30] <kahrytan> freeza: no tv tuner?
[08:30] <rollerskatejamms> Is there a textual interface for the network manager?
[08:30] <tondar> like if amule exists in the repos?
[08:30] <rollerskatejamms> and please don't say interfaces file
[08:31] <Och4> I just want to redirect where the mount file is going to the dir????
[08:31] <eyequeue> tondar, apt-cache search some-thine-here, and apt-cache show exact-package-name, are the two commands i use the most, but man apt-cache shows the many other options
[08:31] <freeza> kahrytan: tv tuner for what?
[08:31] <ball> Does Ubuntu understand DVD-RAMs?
[08:31] <therealnanotube> unimatrix9: well, seems like a simple thing to do - have a "clean" home dir copy somewhere, and on logout, have it delete the "working" copy, and copy over the "clean" copy. so it would, basically, be two commands - a "rm -rf", and a "cp -R"
[08:32] <tondar> eyequeue: thn
[08:32] <tondar> x
[08:32] <freeza> if you dvd drive understands dvd-ram, so will ubuntu
[08:32] <Lilacor> tesuto
[08:32] <Lilacor> 
[08:32] <budluva_> whats the difference between x264 and h264? why cant i play h264 but i can x264?
[08:33] <tondar> so why when I do this sudo apt-cache search xxxx works and sudo aptitude search xxxx wont??!
[08:33] <eyequeue> tondar, apt-cache search emule (only two hits) but try something like "apt-cache search voip" or something, for a more realistic length output length
[08:33] <Flannel> tondar: you shouldn't be using sudo with either of those commands
[08:33] <tondar> o ok
[08:33] <unimatrix9> its strange that there is no " instant " solution to this problem yet, but thnx for the tip, we will look into that too
[08:33] <Och4> 
[08:33] <tondar> what is the diff between aptitude search and apt-cache search ??
[08:34] <Punkunity> hey i need to switch to the root user, what is the stock password??
[08:34] <Och4> 
[08:34] <Lilacor> 
[08:34] <Flannel> Punkunity: There is no password, it's locked.  And you don't need to switch to it, use sudo instead
[08:34] <Och4> 
[08:34] <Punkunity> i am the admin but i need to install something and it says i need to be root
[08:34] <aboyousif> tondar, apt-cache search only in cached files (those downloaded during installation order)
[08:34] <eyequeue> tondar, then apt-cache show some-exact-package-name  from that list, for specifics on that package, just to see what type of info it has ... "apt-cache show amule | less"  for example
[08:34] <Madpilot> Punkunity, what're you trying to install?
[08:34] <Flannel> aboyousif, tondar, no, that's wrong.  apt-cache search searches the repositories.
[08:34] <Punkunity> i dont know all the commands to do it Flannel sudo apt-get dvdshrink doesnt work
[08:35] <Punkunity> Madpilot, i wanted that xdvdshrink or whatever and i downloaded it but  it wont install
[08:35] <Flannel> Punkunity: that's probably because dvdshrink isn't in the repos by that name
[08:35] <Madpilot> Punkunity, "sudo apt-get install dvdshrink" - you forgot the 'install'
[08:35] <Punkunity> im tired of using the damn terminal, exe files are easier for me
[08:35] <Lilacor> Punkunity: Hmmmm....okay.
[08:35] <Punkunity> i did the install thing too
[08:35] <Och4> 
[08:35] <tondar> Flannel: that is right
[08:36] <Lilacor> 
[08:36] <Och4> 
[08:36] <Flannel> Punkunity: linux doesn't use exe files.
[08:36] <tondar> aptitude search then searches where?
[08:36] <eyequeue> Punkunity, you left out a word :)  sudo apt-get *install* packagename :)
[08:36] <Lilacor> 
[08:36] <Punkunity> retarded, how am i suuposed to know what to type in there??
[08:36] <Punkunity> seriiiyusly do i need to take a class??
[08:36] <Och4> 
[08:36] <BlackDalek> removing the SCSI disk and using an IDE disk instead gets rid of the motherboard's "Expansion ROM not initialized" error, but Feisty install still dies with BusyBox error "can't access tty; job control turned off" I am googling for that but am still unsure what it means...
[08:36] <Punkunity> i typed install eyequeue
[08:36] <Madpilot> Punkunity, use Synaptic or Add/Remove to find packages, far easier than the command line
[08:36] <Lilacor> Punkunity: you just need tenacity, curiousity, and the willingness to make mistakes
[08:36] <Punkunity> i nkow it doesnt flannel
[08:36] <eyequeue> Punkunity, k
[08:37] <Punkunity> madpilot there is no dvd shrink on synaptic
[08:37] <Madpilot> Punkunity, then there won't be via apt-get either.
[08:37] <Och4> 
[08:37] <Lilacor> 
[08:37] <phy2> BlackDalek -- do you still have multiple disks?
[08:37] <Lilacor> 
[08:37] <Lilacor> 
[08:37] <Madpilot> Och4, English here please
[08:37] <Punkunity> ive been on linux for over 2 weeks now, ud think i should know my way around by now, but all these commands to remember
[08:37] <Lilacor> 
[08:37] <NETWizz> back
[08:37] <Flannel> Punkunity: have you checked out K9copy/
[08:38] <Och4> what about lilacor,hes doing it too >.,
[08:38] <NETWizz> I just got a lacquered up
[08:38] <Punkunity> well sourceforge has the program Madpilot
[08:38] <Punkunity> i saw that one Flannel
[08:38] <Punkunity> is it good Flannel \
[08:38] <Madpilot> Lilacor, English please - there are non-English channels, though.
[08:38] <Lilacor> Punkunity: it's not that simple to learn in two weeks.
[08:38] <kraut> moin
[08:38] <SurfnKid> how do i check what services are running on my system?
[08:38] <Lilacor> Punkunity: even windows takes a while to learn
[08:39] <Punkunity> well linux should be a little simpler to use then i guess
[08:39] <Lilacor> SurfnKid: you can run htop
[08:39] <EADG> htop is amazing
[08:39] <Lilacor> SurfnKid: or you can use 'ps'
[08:39] <Och4> 
[08:39] <Punkunity> i mean i dont like windows but linux is hard to use and theres no really good games that blow my mind
[08:39] <HymnToLife> Punkunity, I think the same about Windows
[08:39] <Lilacor> Punkunity: surprise surprise...most folks don't use linux for games
[08:40] <SurfnKid> Lilacor, oh nice, htop :)
[08:40] <BlackDalek> phy2: No. I just took out the SCSI disk - now the IDE disk connected to an add-in ATA-133 host adapter is the only one in there, apart from a CD-drive on the motherboard's on-board slow old IDE (whatever it is) connector.
[08:40] <Punkunity> I LOVE BERYL...I drool for that stuff....but i cant play oblivion or command and conquer
[08:40] <Lilacor> Punkunity: welp... do this
[08:40] <owh> SurfnKid: You can run gnome-system-monitor
[08:40] <Lilacor> Punkunity: install linux...love beryl...and then install windows on another partition to play your games
[08:40] <Punkunity> Lilacor, umm i think i know why they dont....
[08:40] <eyequeue> tondar, i don't do aptitude here much, so i just tried "aptitude search emule" and got no hits, only with aptitude search emule ... so far, i prefer apt-cache search emule :)  aptitude show amule seems to be identical output as apt-cache show amule :)
[08:40] <phy2> BlackDaledk -- OK, I had SATA and IDE, I had to remove IDE hard disks to get past the error, and was installing to SATA
[08:41] <Och4> lilacor, i sent you a PM >.<
[08:41] <Och4> lilacor, i sent you PM
[08:41] <SurfnKid> owh, but to see the "services" like apache and those
[08:41] <tondar> eyequeue: k thanks
[08:41] <Punkunity> well i seem to be really bad about partitioning seeing how the last time i did it, feisty erased 120 GB and the whole XP Partition altogether....
[08:41] <eyequeue> atc (6)              - air traffic controller game
[08:41] <Punkunity> just to make room for itself
[08:41] <owh> SurfnKid: They show on my screen.
[08:41] <eyequeue> i use that ^^^ asa my linux gaming hehe
[08:42] <Lilacor> Punkunity: hmm....sounds like you might need to brush up on your HDD skills
[08:42] <SurfnKid> ah ok
[08:42] <phy2> BlackDalek -- so my LiveCD only liked it when I had one SATA and the CDROM installed
[08:42] <owh> SurfnKid: You also see the dependency tree, the children, etc.
[08:42] <phy2> BlackDalek - but after install, multiple disks were fine
[08:42] <SurfnKid> on gnome-sys-mon?
[08:43] <DigitalNinja> How come I can't record any audio?
[08:43] <Punkunity> well f it all then i guess, im too tired for this right now, but thanks for your help Lilacor and eyequeue and Madpilot and everyone, sorry for being a dickhead im just frustrated thats all, ill get over it but thanks again im out
[08:43] <owh> SurfnKid: Yes.
[08:43] <eyequeue> does anyone know anything about the file /etc/bash.logout in feisty? (as opposed to the man page that says it works, on line 4845)
[08:43] <codelion> ya
[08:44] <Lilacor> Punkunity: good night
[08:44] <eyequeue> Punkunity, nighters
[08:44] <codelion> good nite
[08:44] <generalcola> I did something kind of stupid, I unchecked the box in the User and Groups window that made my user able to administer the system, and I now I'm not able to get into the user and groups window, is there any way I could get my user to have those privileges again?
[08:44] <SurfnKid> owh, nice thx
[08:44] <Tarelerul> do any of you use wireless card to get net?
[08:44] <eyequeue> generalcola, i'm guessing you removed your user from the wheel group
[08:44] <Lilacor> generalcola: login as another user that has those privs?
[08:45] <owh> SurfnKid: You can also right click on a process and see further information, like which files it has open etc.
[08:45] <owh> SurfnKid: Enjoy.
[08:45] <Lilacor> Tarelerul: lots of us are using wireless
[08:45] <wizard_> anynoe make a pidgin deb yet?
[08:45] <Lilacor> Tarelerul: it's not easy yet....but much more managable than before
[08:45] <eyequeue> generalcola, "grep generalcola /etc/groups" to see
[08:45] <wizard_> !pidgin
[08:45] <ubotu> pidgin is the new name for Gaim forced by AOL's legal dept - At the time of feisty's final freeze, Pidgin has not been released, so Pidgin will not be going into feisty.  Expect Pidgin in feisty+1!  See http://www.pidgin.im/index.php for more info
[08:45] <Lilacor> wizard I'm using pidgin right now
[08:45] <generalcola> I only have one user. I'm the only one that uses this computer and now I can't even do a sudo command.
[08:45] <wizard_> anyone make a deb for it?
[08:46] <Lilacor> wizard_: not sure how to make a deb but it compiles like a dream
[08:46] <rollerskatejamms> Why is postfix a dependancy of mutt? Can't i just use my regular smtp?
[08:46] <wizard_> Lilacor: got a guide?
[08:46] <eyequeue> generalcola, then, as a user that *can" admin the system, add yourself back to that file, or brute force it using a rescue disk
[08:46] <Lilacor> wizard_: download the tarball, run configure, then make
[08:47] <Lilacor> wizard_: if it complains you don't have this program or this library...download it and then run make again
[08:47] <eyequeue> rollerskatejamms, i think *any* MTA should satisfy the dependency line ... which package do you use as MTA there?
[08:47] <Tarelerul> I fear my card it between the old one and the newest  one from Broadcom .
[08:47] <ubuntuuser12> Just installed Ubuntu 7.04 this is what I see on first login: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=4knf3h0
[08:48] <ubuntuuser12> Is Feisty broken?
[08:48] <wizard_> ubuntuuser12: in general no
[08:48] <wizard_> there may be some bugs for you
[08:48] <ubuntuuser12> wizard, What has to be done to fix this?
[08:48] <Lilacor> ubuntuuser12: you might have a rather finicky soundcard
[08:49] <Lilacor> ubuntuuser12: look up your HW, then search for errors or drivers for it
[08:50] <leperkhanz> I keep getting a 404 when I try to update Pidgin.
[08:50] <leperkhanz> Any advice?
[08:50] <eyequeue> rollerskatejamms, any package that Provides the virtual package mail-transport-agent, the thing usually listening on port 25
[08:50] <NETWizz> How do you prevent viruses?
[08:50] <Lilacor> leperkhanz: what are you trying to update?
[08:50] <wizard_> Lilacor: it wans glib development headers?
[08:50] <ubuntuuser12> It's a via ac'97 onboard chip it should be fine. Ubuntu 6.10 upgraded to 7.04 through apt was working perfectly fine earlier today (that hard disk is no longer with us though).
[08:50] <eyequeue> NETWizz, good hand washing habits
[08:50] <wizard_> i installed glib-dev but still nothing
[08:50] <leperkhanz> pidgin.
[08:50] <Lilacor> NETWizz: you unplug your computer and throw it away.
[08:50] <Lilacor> NETWizz: what do you mean?
[08:50] <NETWizz> yeah
[08:51] <NETWizz> I have users at work who ask me what I do as an IT guy to prevent viruses at home
[08:51] <eyequeue> NETWizz, in linux, you don't have those worries really, that's why we don't run as root, heh
[08:51] <Lilacor> wizard_: yes..so get them.. libglibc blah blah -dev
[08:51] <NETWizz> I tell them that I do nothing
[08:51] <ubuntuuser12> NETWizz, Do not use proprietary operating systems
[08:51] <wizard_> i did
[08:51] <NETWizz> They are like, "Do you use macs?"
[08:51] <wizard_> Lilacor: still says they're not there
[08:51] <NETWizz> I say, "Um, no I have a few PCs"
[08:51] <NETWizz> Aren't you worred about virues?
[08:51] <leperkhanz> pidgin should really be in synaptic.  That way I'd not have to worry about it. *sigh*
[08:51] <NETWizz> Not really
[08:51] <Lilacor> leperkhanz: I'm using 2.0 and don't have to update...
[08:51] <Lilacor> leperkhanz: how did you install it?
[08:52] <NETWizz> Propretary
[08:52] <NETWizz> only Windows
[08:52] <Tarelerul> What do you all use all use for your wireless card
[08:52] <NETWizz> But I run it on only one computer
[08:52] <NETWizz> and on VMWARE
[08:52] <eyequeue> leperkhanz, isn't pidgin the name gaim will have in the gutsy release?
[08:52] <Frizz0> interest
[08:52] <generalcola> eyequeue: I don't have any other users that can use root, I just installed ubuntu 2 days ago and I haven't created any users except for the one I created at the installation.
[08:52] <NETWizz> I do 95% of everythign without winodws
[08:52] <_Codeman_> Ok, I installed SoundJuicer but it wont let me rip to mp3, I can see the mp3 profile in the "Edit Profiles" menu but not where you select the profile to encode with
[08:52] <ubuntuuser12> wizard, Looks like a dbus issue? http://pastebin.ca/476615
[08:52] <leperkhanz> .deb off the ubuntu forums....
[08:52] <NETWizz> the other 4% I do in VMWARE
[08:52] <Lilacor> NETWizz: that's good
[08:52] <budluva_> can i re-install my codecs so i can watch x264/h264 video? i dont understand why it wouldn't work on the desktop, both are new feisty installs
[08:52] <leperkhanz> eyequeue: I suppose.
[08:52] <NETWizz> and the remaining 1% I do on real windows
[08:52] <Madpilot> NETWizz, #ubuntu-offtopic for just chatting, please. This place is too busy.
[08:52] <NETWizz> Each day I go to work, I suffer
[08:52] <eyequeue> generalcola, two options come to mind, being that it is such a new installation there
[08:52] <NETWizz> I suffer with Windows
[08:52] <Lilacor> leperkhanz: You can update to pidgin by installing from the tarball
[08:52] <Lilacor> NETWizz: I feel your pain.
[08:53] <Lilacor> leperkhanz: 'er.. update your pidgin installation
[08:53] <mpt> What's the keyboard equivalent for opening the Applications menu?
[08:53] <budluva_> i have 2 computers, both with new feisty installs, one plays x264 the other doesnt, how do i re install codecs to get x264 working?
[08:53] <Lilacor> x264?
[08:53] <Lilacor> budluva_: what's that?
[08:53] <eyequeue> generalcola, first, if you have nothing all that customized yet, re-install ... not the only choice, but less intimidating perhaps, so i mention it, not knowing your fluency/comfort
[08:53] <crdlb> x264 is only an encoder
[08:53] <NETWizz> I sit at work and have a core 2 duo with 2 GB memory and nice video card
[08:54] <rollerskatejamms> budluva_: if you play the movie in totem, it will automatically prompt you to download any codec you need
[08:54] <ubuntuuser12> mpt, alt-f1
[08:54] <budluva_> Lilacor: for viewing HD video
[08:54] <crdlb> its decoder is broken, so ffmpeg's h.264 support is used
[08:54] <Lilacor> crdlb: oh.... so it's to encode H.264
[08:54] <crdlb> yes
[08:54] <eyequeue> generalcola, the other involves using the command line and booting from a rescue disk (like the ubuntu cd you installed from, probably)
[08:54] <NETWizz> I am sitting and staring at Internet Explorer (Not Responding), Outlook (Not Responding), Explorer (Not REsponding), SVChost 99% CPU, You have Updates, Restart Now?
[08:54] <NETWizz> It is real pain
[08:54] <budluva_> so how do i tell vlc to use ffmpeg's h264 codec?
[08:54] <rollerskatejamms> NETWizz: laff
[08:54] <_Codeman_> Anyone?
[08:54] <NETWizz> That shit happens each day
[08:54] <Lilacor> _Codeman_: hmmmm?
[08:54] <_Codeman_> Ok, I installed SoundJuicer but it wont let me rip to mp3, I can see the mp3 profile in the "Edit Profiles" menu but not where you select the profile to encode with
[08:55] <crdlb> !ohmy | NETWizz
[08:55] <ubotu> NETWizz: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[08:55] <NETWizz> I just think, if only this comnputer were runnign Ubuttu, I would probably be doing some actual work
[08:55] <tampan_pemalu> n
[08:55] <tampan_pemalu> j,
[08:55] <Lilacor> _Codeman_: Oh... doh, sorry. I dunno. :S
[08:55] <tampan_pemalu> l
[08:55] <EADG> I installed Automatix 6 months ago in Dapper and I hear that it breaks the upgrade paths, will I be OK to upgrade if I remove Automatix & all that it installed?
[08:55] <Madpilot> NETWizz, Seriously, random chat about non-support topics needs to happen elsewhere. Thank you.
[08:55] <ubuntubeginz> hi guys,how do i disable the firewall in ubuntu
[08:55] <Tarelerul> I think I am going to get the wireless card in the hope to get wireless action Broadcom WLAN.
[08:55] <mpt> ubuntuuser12, thanks :-)
[08:55] <eyequeue> generalcola, "vigr" and add your username to the wheel group, after chrooting to your root partition
[08:55] <DarthMeow> Stupid, stupid, stupid ...
[08:55] <_Codeman_> Lilacor: it's cool thanks :)
[08:55] <generalcola> eyequeue: I've been using a few distros off and on for the past few months, but in a random fit of stupidity i accedentally took away the option to allow me to administer. I probably could handle the command line.
[08:55] <DarthMeow> Anyone good with ALSA and dual-audio chips give me a PM. I have a problem that is making me want to smack stuff
[08:56] <Lilacor> ubuntubeginz: Hmmm?
[08:56] <eyequeue> generalcola, or "adduser generalcola wheel" after chrooting to the root partition
[08:56] <eyequeue> generalcola, if either of those ring a bell, you can probably handle it just fine :)
[08:56] <Stormx2> Is my ubuntu clock kept in sync?
[08:56] <ensgabe> Hi there- has anyone run into trouble using nfs to share external usb drives?
[08:56] <generalcola> eyequeue: Thanks
[08:56] <tonyr1988> ubuntubeginz: Why do you need to completely disable the "firewall"?
[08:57] <eyequeue> generalcola, or whatever the account really is called, like say, "adduser alex wheel"
[08:57] <ubuntubeginz> i cant seem to access plone(open source cms) from the web...someone tol me to disbale the firewall for it
[08:57] <tonyr1988> !ohmy
[08:57] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[08:57] <timfrost> Stormx2, only if you install the ntp server package
[08:58] <wizard_> Lilacor: was make supposed to be ran as sudo?
[08:58] <ncd> erm
[08:58] <gordonjcp> tonyr1988: aye, very good
[08:58] <eyequeue> generalcola, the trick is, you need to do this as root, and you have effectively locked yourself out of "as root", hence why we brute-force it by :
[08:58] <ncd> why is the boot up so weird
[08:58] <gordonjcp> I don't know why, I just don't like the look of the word

[08:58] <tonyr1988> gordonjcp: Sorry, got curious. :)
[08:58] <Lilacor> wizard_: no, but if you want to run 'make install' then the answer would be yes
[08:59] <wizard_> all the install told me to do was run "make"
[08:59] <wizard_> so i guess make install is next
[08:59] <wizard_> doing the pidgin from source install
[08:59] <tonyr1988> ubuntubeginz: So you're hosting the CMS on your computer, and you want it to serve as a server?
[08:59] <Lilacor> wizard_: did you make sure all of your libraries were there?
[08:59] <ncd> how do you know what version of X your using
[08:59] <wizard_> Lilacor: i made sure ./configure had no more complaints first.
[08:59] <eyequeue> generalcola, step 1, boot from rescue cd, step 2, mount the root partition, step 3, manually edit that /etc/group file, using vigr or something or even the higher-level command adduser
[08:59] <tonyr1988> ubuntubeginz: Does it work by typing in localhost (or 127.0.0.1)?
[08:59] <Lilacor> wizard_: did it say your proper SSL libraries are there to connect to MSN?
[08:59] <wizard_> all it said was that configure was complete, run make
[09:00] <Lilacor> wizard_: yes but what about in the configure report
[09:00] <wizard_> i didn't see any errors
[09:00] <Lilacor> wizard_: I'm not talking about errors
[09:00] <wizard_> if it eluded me i can go back to add it correct?
[09:00] <ensgabe> Anyone here familiar with NFS?
[09:00] <_Codeman_> Can anyone help me rip a cd to mp3, I've tried many different programs and I've yet to get mp3's :(
[09:00] <Horscht> !pidgin
[09:00] <ubotu> pidgin is the new name for Gaim forced by AOL's legal dept - At the time of feisty's final freeze, Pidgin has not been released, so Pidgin will not be going into feisty.  Expect Pidgin in feisty+1!  See http://www.pidgin.im/index.php for more info
[09:00] <Lilacor> wizard_: I'm talking about the libraries to connect to MSN messenger
[09:01] <Horscht> hi
[09:01] <wizard_> Lilacor: if it didnt' say to dl it probably not
[09:01] <Lilacor> wizard_: if you don't use msn messenger, then forget it
[09:01] <wizard_> i do
[09:01] <generalcola> eyequeue, thanks for the help, I'll go try that now
[09:01] <wizard_> qutie often
[09:01] <tonyr1988> _Codeman_: Have you tried Goobox? I found that one of the easiest rippers.
[09:01] <timfrost> eyequeue, generalcola, wheel is *not* the critical group in ubuntu.  The admin group grants the right to run sudo
[09:01] <Lilacor> wizard_: okay...then check what it said at the very end of the configure command
[09:01] <tonyr1988> _Codeman_: It's in Synaptic, or if you prefer the Terminal, "sudo apt-get install goobox"
[09:01] <Tarelerul> codeman_ did the ripping going ?
[09:01] <_Codeman_> I will try that
[09:01] <rollerskatejamms> pidgin will most likely be in feisty backports at some point
[09:01] <wizard_> Lilacor: any way to check it after make began? it already overlapped my terminal history
[09:01] <Lilacor> wizard_: just run configure again...it's not going to blow your computer up
[09:02] <tonyr1988> _Codeman_: Of course, it's just personal preference. I'm sure some people hate it.
[09:02] <Horscht> I tried to install pidgin on ubuntu feisty, but during ./configure it complained about the glib 2.0+ dev headers to be required
[09:02] <Lilacor> Horscht: so install them
[09:02] <Horscht> I installed glib 2.13.1 and still get that error
[09:02] <rollerskatejamms> Horscht: theres a deb around somewhere
[09:02] <Lilacor> Horscht: install libglibc blah blah-dev
[09:02] <tonyr1988> Horscht: libglib2.0-dev ?
[09:02] <eyequeue> generalcola, presuming your username is alex there, do grep alex /etc/group (or run "groups" as alex)
[09:02] <_Codeman_> tonyrl1988: Yeah, but at this point if I can find something that works, I'll be doing good :P
[09:02] <wizard_> Lilacor: it says no
[09:03] <wizard_> Lilacor: where do i get those?
[09:03] <Lilacor> wizard_: install NSS or just install the gaim dependencies
[09:03] <jpiccolo> i am having alittle problem with the sshd
[09:03] <eyequeue> timfrost, thanks, and i confirmed that by looking in /etc/sudoers, you are certainly correct
[09:03] <wizard_> what do you man gaim dependencies?
[09:03] <wizard_> the gaim dev?
[09:03] <tonyr1988> _Codeman_: If I remember correctly, it should have any mp3-related things as dependencies. If not, we can try and help you out more.
[09:04] <Lilacor> wizard_: so.... hmmmm crap. I fergit.. hold on
[09:04] <_Codeman_> tonyrl1988: ok, thanks :D
[09:04] <Horscht> tonyr1988, no i didn't install those. I went to the gtk site and downloaded installed glib 2.13.1
[09:04] <Lilacor> wizard_: so apt-get build-dep gaim
[09:05] <tondar> anyone here worked with x-develop?
[09:05] <Horscht> gonna try that libglib 2.0 dev
[09:05] <Lilacor> wizard_: or something like that
[09:05] <timfrost> Horscht, 'sudo apt-get build-req gaim' should install the packages needed to compile pidgin.  To compile a program, you need the -dev packages
[09:05] <tondar> how would I install it?
[09:05] <wizard_> okay
[09:05] <tonyr1988> Horscht: Yes, the -dev package will be completely different from the others
[09:05] <wizard_> Lilacor: build dependencies for gaim could not be satisfied
[09:05] <Lilacor> wizard_: uhh..what timfrost just siad
[09:05] <jpiccolo> would anyone know why i can ssh into a machine if i use the ip address but not if i use the hostname?
[09:05] <wizard_> build-raq not a valid operation
[09:06] <Lilacor> jpiccolo: probably because yourDNSisnt working
[09:06] <Lilacor> wizard_: raq?
[09:06] <tondar> x-develop anyone?
[09:06] <Lilacor> or req?
[09:06] <wizard_> req*
[09:06] <jpiccolo> Lilacor, well i it asks me for a password but doesnt accept it
[09:06] <_Codeman_> tonyrl1988: does it not show up in the applications menu?
[09:06] <eyequeue> wizard, sudo apt-get build-dep gaim
[09:07] <wizard_> build dependences could not be satisfied
[09:07] <timfrost> Horscht, Lilacor  except that 'build-dep' is correct to get the packages (not 'build-req' as I cited)
[09:07] <tonyr1988> _Codeman_: Mine showed up in Sound / Video I believe. I'm not sure if I added it or not.
[09:07] <tonyr1988> _Codeman_: Open a Terminal and type "killall gnome-panel"
[09:07] <Horscht> yeah, build-req was giving me an error :p
[09:07] <eyequeue> wizard, sudo apt-get install build-essential, before building anything, if you haven't already done that
[09:07] <_Codeman_> what's /usr/bin/esd?
[09:07] <Lilacor> jpiccolo: are you trying to ssh as root?
[09:08] <tonyr1988> _Codeman_: You can always start Goobox via Alt+F2 and typing "goobox"
[09:08] <eyequeue> esd (1)              - The Enlightened Sound Daemon
[09:08] <jpiccolo> Lilacor, if i ssh 192.168.1.xxx it works, but if i ssh mymachine.freedns.com it doesnt work, it asks me for a login but doesnt accept my password
[09:08] <loekken> Hey folks I have a sound problem use a toshiba machine and runs Ubuntu but i have no sound any1 who can help me?
[09:08] <eyequeue> _Codeman_, ^^ that's the output of "whatis esd" in a terminal
[09:09] <jpiccolo> Lilacor, no user login
[09:09] <Lilacor> jpiccolo: I'm not sure.
[09:09] <Lilacor> loekken: first...check what hardware you're using for sound
[09:09] <_Codeman_> do I need that?
[09:09] <Lilacor> loekken: then...check if that hardware is compatible with linux
[09:09] <eyequeue> Lilacor, ping mymachine.freedns.com, i'll bet it's not a 192.168 addy, is it?
[09:09] <loekken> Lilacor: where do i check it?
[09:10] <Lilacor> loekken: then...if it *IS* compatible, see what you need to get it working
[09:10] <wizard_> Lilacor: it says it can't be satisfied no amtter what i say
[09:10] <_Codeman_> cuz it I've had a few programs that when ran from terminal gave me "/bin/sh: /usr/bin/esd: not found"
[09:10] <Lilacor> wizard_: go ask a quick question in #pidgin about what you need to install for SSL
[09:10] <eyequeue> Lilacor, "host" mymachine.freedns.com" is probably the better way to check, i'm just used to using ping to both check the ip and test it heh
[09:11] <Lilacor> wizard_: pidgin was all pissy at me for that too until I installed NSS
[09:11] <Lilacor> wizard_: install NSS libraries
[09:11] <loekken> Lilacor: Where do i check my hardware?
[09:11] <Lilacor> loekken: use 'lspci' or 'lshw'
[09:12] <disinterested> madpilot where's the bees?
[09:12] <Madpilot> disinterested, the what?
[09:12] <disinterested> the honey bees
[09:13] <disinterested> 4 years left soon
[09:13] <eyequeue> wizard, libnss3 and libnss3-0d in feisty btw
[09:13] <loekken> Lilacon: okey i found it now how do i know if it is compatible with linux?
[09:14] <Lilacor> loekken: use all resources you can find about your sound hardware and linux
[09:14] <thor> does it show up with lspci?
[09:14] <loekken> Lilacor: okay.... thanks:)
[09:14] <viler> hi, could any1 help me install kmediafactory for amd64. ubuntu 7.04 seems to lack it?
[09:15] <rollerskatejamms> exit
[09:15] <_Codeman_> Do I need esd?
[09:15] <thor> viler
[09:15] <viler> thor: yes sir?
[09:15] <thor> how are you trying to install it
[09:16] <viler> thor: in the add programs, i checked all software sources and search all available software - no result
[09:16] <thor> what about Synaptic
[09:16] <eyequeue> viler, okay, let's start here ... i see, in feisty Filename: pool/multiverse/k/kmediafactory/kmediafactory_0.5.1-0ubuntu2_i386.deb
[09:17] <eyequeue> viler, not amd64 btw, but ... the key word may be multiverse, do you have that repo installed?
[09:17] <eyequeue> !multiverse | viler
[09:17] <ubotu> viler: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[09:17] <viler> yep, multiverse - checked
[09:18] <eyequeue> viler, grep multiverse /etc/apt/sources.list, does it show what you'd need there?
[09:19] <eyequeue> viler, sudo apt-get update and then apt-cache show kmediafactory
[09:19] <_Codeman_> hello?
[09:19] <thor> hi
[09:19] <timfrost> !info kmediafactory
[09:19] <ubotu> kmediafactory: template based DVD authoring tool for KDE.. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 0.5.1-0ubuntu2 (feisty), package size 2408 kB, installed size 5996 kB
[09:20] <viler> eyequeue: yep i see it with apt-cache show
[09:20] <eyequeue> _Codeman_, i'm no sound guru, but esd hasn't been "needed" in ubuntu for a couple of releases, if i'm remembering correctly, it's more alsa-based these days, iirc
[09:20] <eyequeue> viler, soulds to me like "sudo apt-get install kmediafactory" should do wht you want then
[09:20] <thor> dont forget OSS
[09:21] <viler> eyequeue: ok, i can see it in synaptic but NOT in the add/install app. doesn't make sense...
[09:22] <Quixotic> i just installed wine an downloaded some windows exes but i dont know how to exsactly run them. im trying to install 2 apps
[09:22] <Madpilot> viler, add/remove doesn't show everything - synaptic does
[09:22] <Quixotic> can someone help me please
[09:22] <lau> what do this command ? cp `find . -size -12k` /tmp
[09:22] <_Codeman_> well goobox crashed... what now? lol
[09:22] <thor> Quix, whats up
[09:22] <ryan__> hey, how do i launch a script in terminal
[09:22] <eyequeue> viler, to be honest, i've never been that into add/install app, so never really check it, can't say much, sorry
[09:22] <thor> ryan
[09:23] <lau> ryan__ : try . yourscript.sh
[09:23] <Quixotic> thor I just installed wine through synpatic and i have these 2 windows installer exes that im trying to run to setup 2 applications. but im not quite sure how to do it. i downloaded the exes to my desktop.
[09:23] <viler> eyequeue: thanks for your help :)
[09:23] <thor> sh script.sh
[09:23] <eyequeue> ryan__, a bash shell script?  you could "bash your-script-name-here"
[09:23] <lau> ryan__ : or source yourscript.sh
[09:23] <RAOF> Quixotic: "wine your_setup_file.exe" from a terminal
[09:23] <eyequeue> viler, no prob
[09:23] <viler> thor: thanks
[09:23] <Eliz> Hi, I'm trying to upgrade an Ubuntu/Kubuntu machine that doesn't connect to the internet using  the Ubuntu alternate CD and Kubuntu desktop iso file on a USB disk. The Kubuntu iso gives malformed URI errors in synaptic. Has anyone tried this?
[09:23] <sotzing> hey - does anyone know how i can add write permission to tty devices? for some reason 'sudo chmod a+w /dev/pts/0' is not working
[09:23] <thor> pretty much ya
[09:24] <Zoffix> If I am running KDE and open a new "terminal" should `sudo` ask me for the password? I remember it _DID_ before, now I tried to upgrade to Fiesty and it told me that I don't have enough disk space, and to run `sudo apt-get clean` I did, and it didn't ask me for the password, then I closed the terminal opened it again ran `sudo uptime` and it didn't ask for password again. I wonder if it's a vulnerability or not.
[09:24] <lau> what do this command ? cp `find . -size -12k` /tmp
[09:25] <eyequeue> lau, what size is negative 12k ? ;-)
[09:25] <Quixotic> raof there is no gui for it. or will the programs be able to run through an icon once i use the terminal to isntall them? im setting them up for a family member and they dont know about terminal they just need icons. i can do the terminal stuff but im setting it up for them.
[09:26] <lau> eyequeue: guess the dash stands for 'less or equal' with find
[09:26] <Zoffix> Never mind, I get the point.
[09:26] <timfrost> lau, that command builds a list of files smaller than 12k in size (find . -size -12k), then copies all of them to /tmp
[09:26] <eyequeue> lau, anyway, it copies the file named as the output of that find command enclosed in backticks, to the /tmp directory
[09:26] <predaeus> lau, check "man find" for details, I don't know but I assume it copies all files in the current directory that are bigger than 12kB to /tmp or so. Not sure.
[09:26] <RAOF> Quixotic: They *should* install to Applications->Wine->where_they'd_normally_go_in_windows
[09:26] <Quixotic> raof so once i do terminal install the user should be able to run them as if they did on windows ?
[09:27] <Quixotic> raof by just htiting an exe icon and going from there.
[09:27] <RAOF> Yes, indeed.
[09:27] <eyequeue> lau, just run the part in backticks by itself to see the file affected first, if you want to be careful
[09:27] <Horscht> cool, pidgin now works. Thanks for everyone who helped
[09:27] <Quixotic> raof ok good. im trying to not explain to my father that im using emulation and such.
[09:27] <pibarnas> my openoffice icons just disappeared! could anyone help me?
[09:27] <RAOF> Actually, you should probably be able to right click on the executables on the desktop and go "run with wine"
[09:27] <_Codeman_> tonyrl1988: you still there?
[09:27] <thor> Wine Is Not Emulator
[09:27] <lau> timfrost, when i launch it i got bash: /bin/cp: Argument list too long
[09:28] <Quixotic> raof the exe installer i ran in wine has finished and says my computer needs to reboot to complete installation. like it typicall does in windows. does that mean i have to reboot my whole linux box or since its just using wine just like restart my terminal or something?
[09:28] <RAOF> Quixotic: No, just ignore that :)
[09:28] <sotzing> has anyone heard of a problem logging into Ubuntu 6.10 as root after a fresh install?  i can use sudo (it accepts the password) but when I run su, or try to login from the X login dialogue is says password incorrect
[09:28] <eyequeue> Quixotic, curious here :)  are you avoiding the discussion and turning him off by it or are you hiding the fact that he's now on linux from him completely? :)
[09:29] <Quixotic> eyequeue no he sort of knows im on a new system. he just dosent know the full extent of it
[09:29] <crdlb> Quixotic: wineboot iirc will do a "wine reboot"
[09:29] <Myrtti> !root | sotzing
[09:29] <ubotu> sotzing: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:29] <phy2> I guess Quixotic needs a "Windows" skin
[09:29] <Myrtti> sotzing: you did know that, didn't you?
[09:29] <thor> why would you want a window skin?
[09:29] <Quixotic> eyequeue i just really wanted linux for al ong tiem and continued to sacrafice dealing with windows and all its problems so my parents cna have aol and simple burning software and such. but they dont use it that often so why should i have to suffer.
[09:29] <sotzing> =/
[09:29] <timfrost> lau, what are you trying to do, and where?   The output of the find is captured by the shell, then passed on a command line.  If there are lots of files, you need a way to break the list up.
[09:29] <eyequeue> sotzing, you seem to be logging in using gdm, right?  reconfigure it to accept root logins, if that's what you want.  "fresh install" means you have the defaults, and ot defaults to not allowing root (which is a wise default)
[09:30] <predaeus> sotzing, by default there is no root password set I think, or maybe some placeholder. you need to set one first with sudo if you really want to use the root account itself which is not recommended by Ubuntu as far as I know
[09:30] <sotzing> i know what sudo is - but for some reason the same password that works for sudo will not log me in normally
[09:30] <Myrtti> eyequeue: ehhhhh?
[09:30] <jpiccolo> why does my motd keep going back to the orginal version after i edited it?
[09:30] <Quixotic> eyequeue so my win xp install was all messed up again cuss my second harddrive is dieing and i basically didnt want to deal with it anymore so i setup linux and trying to make them somewhat happy by giving them at least usefull apps like they are use too without running real windows.
[09:30] <Myrtti> eyequeue: enabling logging in as root in a graphical environment is not a good idea...
[09:30] <predaeus> eyequeue, sotzing, you should not log into gdm as root
[09:30] <eyequeue> Quixotic, yeah, i gathered that earlier, i was just curious how little he should know, by objective, yet :)
[09:30] <timfrost> jpiccolo, because one of the init scripts re-creates it.
[09:31] <thor> You could try using FireFox OS
[09:31] <sotzing> eyequeue, predaeus - i don't really need to login gdm as root, but i can't even change to root in the terminal with su
[09:31] <eyequeue> Myrtti, i agree, and the defaults agree, but it *is* an option that can be configured, if someone has some pressing need
[09:31] <Myrtti> eyequeue: they can always use recovery boot
[09:31] <predaeus> sotzing, yea if you really need it set a password for root   like   "sudo passwd"
[09:31] <RAOF> !sudo > sotzing <- Read your PM
[09:31] <eyequeue> sotzing, did you read the part about "sudo -i" on the web page the bot gave you?
[09:31] <jpiccolo> timfrost, how would i be able to see what init script is doing that
[09:31] <Quixotic> eyequeue he wont really care as long as he gets his fuctionality its in different to him. but he will complain and moan if stuff isnt working easy for him and get all frustrated and start arguments.
[09:32] <eyequeue> Quixotic, nod, i know the type, very well even
[09:32] <bullgard4> Evolution > Spell checker: What is the difference in functionality between the buttons 'Ignore' and 'Skip'?
[09:32] <mEck0> Is it possible to sync dir's over network with rsync/grsync?
[09:32] <lau> timfrost, i understand but after a caple of test i think it is not a valid command
[09:32] <thor> ignore wont create error logs?
[09:32] <Quixotic> O no the program is saying initilize dynamic() failed! when i run it with wine! NOOO
[09:33] <thor> Quix, try using CodeWeaver
[09:33] <thor> Crossover Office
[09:33] <predaeus> bullgard4, probably ignore will ignore next time aswell and skip will just skip this time
[09:33] <timfrost> jpiccolo, on edgy, the script is /etc/rcS.d/S80bootmisc.sh.  Try 'grep motd /etc/rc?.d/S*'.
[09:34] <eyequeue> Myrtti, i'm personally not sure i can see any need for a gui anything as root myself, though gksudo appname is there for those cases (logged into x as user)
[09:34] <zoro_> Hey everyone - quick question - does the paritioning app that the install uses in feisty fawn resize partitions destructively, or does it actually move the data in the area where the new partition is to go, so that it doesn't get overwritten?
[09:34] <thor> it can do both
[09:34] <bullgard4> predaeus: thank you.
[09:34] <lau> timfrost, it works with -3k but with -12k give cp: omitting directory `.'
[09:34] <Myrtti> eyequeue: exactly
[09:35] <predaeus> np
[09:35] <Quixotic> ive got no idea what that is thor!
[09:35] <lau>  timfrost, does it mean cp can't copy the current '.' dir?
[09:35] <zoro> thor: is it as simple as a bright red button labelled "click this so i don't overwrite your files"? :)
[09:36] <eyequeue> Myrtti, options are there, linux is great for giving you options, but i like ubuntu's defaults of not making shooting yourself in the foot toooo easy, make them insist on it before doing it, heheh
[09:36] <JJ|Laptop> lol
[09:36] <JJ|Laptop> eyequeue: like iptables over ssh...
[09:36] <thor> zoro you should choose the manual configuration
[09:36] <sotzing> eyequeue, RAOF, predaeus - ahhhh thanks for your help
[09:36] <timfrost> lau, yes, the '.' is the current directory.  To just copy files add ' -type f' to the find command in the '`' (but then all files will be copied to the one directory)
[09:36] <eyequeue> JJ|Laptop, yeah, that sounds like a scary one heh
[09:37] <JJ|Laptop> i've done it many times
[09:37] <JJ|Laptop> then i found  a program that you jsut use the config to lay it out and it will reet it in 5min
[09:37] <zoro> thor: well that much i know ;) What I'm wondering is how the partitioning app will behave if there's, say, part of a text file near the end of the HD. does it use the space BETWEEN the text file and the rest of the hd data, or does it move the file to nearer the start of the disk and use the end of it for ubuntu?
[09:37] <Quixotic> argh what can i do about the program saying intilize_dynamic() failed! in wine. This is a disaster if i cant get the wine to run these. =(
[09:37] <ryan__> anyone know about running aircrack on ubuntu?
[09:37] <thor> more importantly, how many partitions do you have setup now?
[09:38] <eyequeue> JJ|Laptop, though i've learned "by experience" not to upgrade an ssh package remotely without at least opening a new session, sshing out and then back in, before disconnecting from the original ssh session ;-)
[09:38] <zoro> thor: just the 1
[09:38] <thor> ah ok, then just use the option that has Resize and use remain space %
[09:38] <RAOF> Quixotic: You can check the app-compatibility database at winehq.org, but not everything works.
[09:38] <zoro> eyequeue: heh. like "sudo /etc/init.d/network stop" :D
[09:39] <zoro> thor: fair enuogh :) thanks for your help
[09:39] <zoro> eyequeue: i know i've done that more than once :(
[09:39] <eyequeue> zoro, lol
[09:39] <zoro> eyequeue: queue a phone call from zoro to a friend in the data centre: "er, guess what I did again?"
[09:39] <zoro> :D
[09:39] <thor> !!
[09:39] <eyequeue> ryan__, aircrack-ng is in universe
[09:40] <eyequeue> ryan__, which ubuntu there?
[09:40] <zoro> thor: right, tim to find out how this baby behaves ;)
[09:40] <ryan__> fiesty
[09:40] <ryan__> whats universe
[09:40] <JJ|Laptop> lol
[09:40] <wizard__> evolution sure hates gmail with cox internet
[09:40] <thor> the repositories
[09:40] <JJ|Laptop> eyequeue: iptables is even more fun to play with though!
[09:40] <eyequeue> !universe | ryan__
[09:41] <ubotu> ryan__: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[09:41] <JJ|Laptop> you can brick a server very easilly
[09:41] <ndlovu> hi all. I've recently upgraded to firefox 2.0.0.3 on edgy, and a lot of small images (esp. with text) are not displaying properly. Is this an antialiasing problem or something else?
[09:41] <wizard__> hey can anyone help me figure out how to properly, and fully, remove my webcam that i installed?
[09:41] <wizard__> i can remove it from modprobe and the works, it still runs in camorama
[09:42] <eyequeue> ryan__, once you enable the universe repository, then "sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng"
[09:42] <preaction> wizard__: unplug it?
[09:42] <wizard__> its kinda uh
[09:42] <wizard__> built into the laptop
[09:42] <thor> kill it
[09:42] <wizard__> how?
[09:42] <RAOF> with a sword.
[09:42] <eyequeue> JJ|Laptop, what's fun is to edit iptables on a router and lock yourself out, always good for blowing productivity for the day
[09:43] <wizard__> no i mean how do i find the process for it?
[09:43] <ubunDummy> Can anyone tell me what way (if any) there is to change the size of the taskbar/titlebar/default text size, etc? Is this stuff customizable (using Feisty)
[09:43] <thor> yep
[09:43] <RAOF> ubunDummy: System->Preferences->Fonts should go some way towards what you want.
[09:43] <RAOF> For other things, see System->Preferences->Themes
[09:44] <ubunDummy> RAOF - But themes doesn't let you actually edit the size of things does it?
[09:44] <RAOF> ubunDummy: Themes can change the size of things.
[09:44] <RAOF> ubunDummy: But to change the size of the panels, for example, you can right click on them, go "Properties", and change the size :)
[09:45] <ubunDummy> I know but in order to change I would have to find a specific theme which would alter the size
[09:45] <Quixotic> so theres nothing i can do to try to make this run properly in wine? once i get the error I have to abandon and look for new solution? is there anything else similiar ?
[09:45] <eyequeue> btw, what's it mean when a theme describes itself as "efficient"?
[09:45] <preaction> eyequeue: ugly
[09:45] <eyequeue> it can't mean that it renders faster, can it?
[09:45] <ubunDummy> RAOF - I see... I was wondering if there was a default size in general because things like firefox are opening with an address bar that is farily hard to read
[09:46] <thor> hold CTRL + Scroll wheel on your mouse
[09:46] <RAOF> ubunDummy: Heh.  Firefox'll ignore all your gnome settings anyway :(.  But the "DPI" setting under System->Pref->Fonts might be what you're after.
[09:46] <thor> it will change the font size in a browser
[09:47] <Quixotic> ok i have no clue what i just did but one of the programs is not showing up under applications > wine > program > any longer but the shortcut on the desktop is there and i clicked it and now the program runs.
[09:47] <ubunDummy> RAOF - that's strange though because most apps seem to be creating the same size text boxes and what not..
[09:47] <eyequeue> ubunDummy, i seem to recall a bit of discussion, often mentioning firefox, about "fonts" after a distro release a while back, i think it was edgy, so that might be a source of info for you too
[09:47] <Hellevator> is there a shell command to determine what linux distribution you are running? I'm sshed into a linux box and want to see what its running.
[09:47] <Quixotic> i dont remember what i changed to make it dissapear from that applications > wine > programs > menu but it seems to have worked
[09:47] <RAOF> ubunDummy: That's because most programs are Gnome programs.  Firefox is different.  It decides to do everything itself.
[09:47] <RAOF> Hellevator: lsb_release -a
[09:48] <ubunDummy> RAOF - ok, is there a way then to go and change the default size for gnome programs?
[09:48] <voltagex> is there a known issue with mounting remote FTP and SSH directories?
[09:48] <RAOF> ubunDummy: It's still System->Preferences->Fonts :)
[09:48] <hatter> is there any conception about ubuntu being more stable than kubuntu ?
[09:48] <crdlb> Hellevator: you can try:
[09:48] <crdlb> !version
[09:48] <ubotu> To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type  lsb_release -a  in a !shell
[09:48] <ubunDummy> RAOF - I get it.. Interesting I will give that a whirl
[09:48] <crdlb> that should work with any distro
[09:48] <mcalamelli> hi all, is it possible to migrate from Debian Etch to Ubuntu Feisty without formatting the HD?
[09:48] <neil> How to customize the Ubuntu installation??   Give me some hints or URLs.
[09:48] <zaggynl> I just installed jackd via synaptic, but I  can't get it to run, there is nothing at /etc/init.d that's anything like jack
[09:48] <RAOF> mcalamelli: Not if you want the result to work :)
[09:49] <voltagex> mounting directories of ftp or ssh servers on the net seems to yield no output and double clicking does nothing
[09:49] <Hellevator> crdlb, RAOF, the server is not running ubuntu. says command is not found
[09:49] <hatter> mcalamelli: i wouldnt try it, it will break lots of things,  you could install etch in a virtual machine
[09:49] <crdlb> Hellevator: do you have any guess what it's running?
[09:49] <voltagex> neil: customize in what way? Be specific, that's like saying give me instructions on how to customise my car
[09:49] <zaggynl> !jackd
[09:49] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about jackd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:49] <zaggynl> !jack
[09:49] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about jack - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:49] <Hellevator> crdlb, i think fedora
[09:49] <RAOF> Hellevator: Then it's running something *old*.  lsb_release is Linux Standard Base, supported by a whole lot of distros
[09:50] <Angel-SL> hello, how do I get cp to copy a file to every folder in the directory?
[09:50] <voltagex> so, no one's had trouble mounting drives from remote machines/
[09:50] <ubunDummy> RAOF - yup that was what I was looking for. Changing the font size changed the buttons. Interesting.
[09:50] <Hellevator> possibly fedora core 4
[09:50] <linuxlingam> my xmms and audacity menu disappears in feisty. what could be the solution. have tried gnome, kde, even enabling and disabling buggy nvidia restricted drivers. however, all other apps are ok
[09:50] <linuxlingam> please help, this is my second request to the irc
[09:50] <mcalamelli> RAOF: ok... i've a prob with my cd/dvd reader, it can't boot/load my feisty cd, and i haven't floppy (laptop). Other ways to install feisty?
[09:50] <linuxlingam> thanks in advance
[09:50] <neil> I don't want some program to be preinstalled and want other programs. I have a Ubuntu 7.04 DVD
[09:51] <RAOF> neil: Install ubuntu, then remove the programs you don't want and install the programs you do.
[09:51] <ryan__> with aircrack, what do i need to do after installing it
[09:51] <neil> But it's kinda of annoying still.
[09:51] <thor> run it
[09:51] <ubunDummy> I have to say I'm pretty impressed with ubuntu. It's about 3 lightyears beyond Fedora 3
[09:51] <ryan__> do i need to use airodump?
[09:51] <ubunDummy> then again Fedora 6 probably is too
[09:52] <bobslaede> hey. i have a problem checking mail. apparently no mail client on my ubuntu box (6.10) is able to access a pop3 server. What could be the problem, just a hint would do.
[09:52] <thor> FC6 was super glitchy for me
[09:52] <wizard__> lol 3 lightyears beyond fc3
[09:52] <wizard__> thats kinda an insult to ubuntu
[09:52] <thor> to run aircrack Ryan
[09:52] <thor> terminal> aircrack-ng
[09:52] <ubunDummy> wizard - Insult. rofl
[09:52] <rollerskatejamms> sudo fluxcapacitor --fix
[09:53] <X-Martin> I have installed Ubuntu 6.06 .... it runs well
[09:53] <learnin9> hehe
[09:53] <neil> Anybody know how to make a customized version of Ubuntu installation DVD??
[09:53] <wizard__> im about to punch gmail where it counts
[09:53] <wizard__> its being a lamer
[09:53] <learnin9> haha
[09:54] <ubunDummy> The rate at which linux is improving is scary
[09:54] <rollerskatejamms> ubunDummy: You mean ubuntu :-P
[09:54] <thor> heh
[09:54] <thor> even dell things its great
[09:54] <X-Martin> among the other distros ... so far i like Ubuntu the most
[09:54] <ubunDummy> roller- heh ubuntu even more so.
[09:54] <X-Martin> before ... i consider and only attracted to Redhat
[09:54] <rollerskatejamms> X-Martin: Redhat kinda sucks.
[09:54] <wizard__> i swear google has a time set aside at night to break stuff
[09:55] <hatter> i have just been suffering with kubuntu random freezes , i am back to gnome to see if it continues or not
[09:55] <X-Martin> anyway, does anyone here know how to mount shared folder ?
[09:55] <RAOF> neil: http://code.google.com/p/reconstructor/
[09:55] <rollerskatejamms> X-Martin: Places -> Connect to server
[09:55] <ubunDummy> Once Microsoft got to the point where they decided that they didn't want users to mess with things, they would decide it got a little scary too
[09:55] <neil> Thank you RAOF
[09:55] <eyequeue> neil,
[09:56] <eyequeue> neil, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization
[09:56] <_Codeman_> "maybe try instead=" isn't a command right?
[09:56] <shimete> I have a problem, can anyone help me?
[09:56] <eyequeue> neil, sorry it took so long, i knew i'd read it in depth not too long back :)  preseed is what you eant
[09:56] <eyequeue> want
[09:56] <neil> Thank you <eyequeue>
[09:56] <Meglo> Those are giants; and if thou art afraid, away with thee out of this and betake thyself to prayer while I engage them in fierce and unequal combat
[09:56] <eyequeue> !ask | shimete
[09:56] <ubotu> shimete: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[09:56] <shimete> my dad loaded ubuntu on our machine a couple of days ago, and well, sound doesn't work on my account. when i double click the volume control icon (in the top right), i get an error message saying "no volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices detected"
[09:57] <eyequeue> neil, no prob, good luck
[09:57] <crimsun> shimete: is your account the primary one or not?
[09:57] <shimete> crimsun: not
[09:57] <thor> maybe the ALSA daemon isn't set to run on a non root acc???
[09:57] <voltagex> I assert that gnome-vfs is broken in Ubuntu, and unfortunately I'm not getting an answer - mounting remote drives either hangs or silently fails, any ideas where to start debugging this?
[09:58] <openminddj> Can someone please send me a working copy of /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10.storage-policy.fdi for Ubuntu 7.04?
[09:58] <crimsun> shimete: add your user to the audio group.
[09:58] <ubunDummy> Dumb question actually but if you are running a Nvidia driver does that mean that Desktop-Effects cannot work for you?
[09:58] <crimsun> shimete: then log out and back in.
[09:58] <_Codeman_> Is "maybe try instead =" a command?
[09:58] <rollerskatejamms> ubunDummy: no, thats only true of ati
[09:58] <eyequeue> is it as simple as "adduser whoever audio" and relog?
[09:58] <crdlb> ubunDummy: it will work fine
[09:58] <thor> voltagex do you have SMB and NTF installed and runing?
[09:58] <Alonea> ok, why is dvd playback so bad in kaffeine?
[09:58] <crimsun> shimete: sudo adduser $YOURUSER audio
[09:58] <crdlb> ubunDummy: it will make you install the proprietary driver first though
[09:58] <X-Martin> rollerskatejamms: yes.. it runs heavily
[09:59] <anotherpunk> i'm running the fiesty text installer and I just hit the 'Configure the Network' part
[09:59] <crimsun> shimete: replace $YOURUSER as appropriate, of course
[09:59] <anotherpunk> how do I know which is my wireless card?
[09:59] <voltagex> thor: smb is installed, do I have to install something for FTP and SSH?
[09:59] <ubunDummy> I don't know why then, because as soon as I got the Nvidia drivers to work it said it cannot make Desktop-Effects work. Maybe beacuse my Nvidia card is 2 years old?
[09:59] <crimsun> shimete: and please don't query me unless I request it.
[09:59] <neil> I can't image using Ubuntu  without Internet!!!    It needs much libs from the Net when installing other programs.
[09:59] <rollerskatejamms> anotherpunk: iwconfig scanning
[09:59] <crdlb> ubunDummy: did you use the restricted manager?
[09:59] <rollerskatejamms> anotherpunk: whichever card shows networks is your wifi card
[09:59] <ubunDummy> crdkb - Yes I did
[09:59] <hannes_> anybody talking german?
[09:59] <crdlb> ubunDummy: and it's working?
[09:59] <rollerskatejamms> hannes_: isn't there an #ubuntu-de
[09:59] <wizard__> hallo, wie gehts?
[10:00] <wizard__> and thats all the german i know
[10:00] <anotherpunk> there are three choices for cards, and I think I chose the right one
[10:00] <anotherpunk> what happens if I didn't?
[10:00] <crdlb> ubunDummy: does the enabler give a specific error?
[10:00] <rollerskatejamms> wizard__: Usen steicen snitzel feisen.
[10:00] <ubunDummy> crdlb - yes I am now in the resolution I need but desktop-effects does not work
[10:00] <X-Martin> does any one here know how to mount shared folder, i've able to connect to windows network ... but don;t know how to map / mount
[10:00] <manolo_> Hi to everybody!!!!
[10:00] <wizard__> rollerskatejamms: i said thats all the german i know lol
[10:00] <crimsun> shimete: private message.  Whisper.  Whatever your client calls it.
[10:00] <rollerskatejamms> wizard__: And what I just said wasn't actually german :-P
[10:00] <rollerskatejamms> wizard__: It was junk I made up
[10:00] <wizard__> hahahaha
[10:00] <thor> voltagex install NFS as well, and then see what happens
[10:00] <wizard__> it looked real enough, but again, im drunk
[10:00] <eyequeue> neil, i'm sure most of the cd customization advice will work fine for dvds, but i'm curious *why* the standard dvd does *not* have the things that are on the alternate cd added to the things from the standard cd :/
[10:00] <voltagex> thor: does FTP need extra stuff to work via gnome-vfs?
[10:00] <wizard__> and i just tried to compile while drunk, and it turned out bad
[10:00] <shimete> crimsun: ok
[10:01] <voltagex> thor: I don't use any NFS mounts
[10:01] <shimete> crimsun: sorry
[10:01] <X-Martin> is there any kind of software lie Lin Neighborhood that we could install at Ubuntu ?
[10:01] <ubunDummy> crdlb - no I hit the enable button and after 4 secs it says "Desktop Effects cannot be enabled"
[10:01] <thor> hmm
[10:01] <CheshireViking> X-Martin, is it a windows folder on another computer?
[10:01] <rollerskatejamms> ubunDummy: sudo fluxcapacitor --fix
[10:01] <crdlb> ubunDummy: run: glxinfo|grep direct
[10:01] <ubunDummy> crdlb - however before I used those drivers it was working fine (btw I have to say it's amazing
[10:01] <crdlb> ubunDummy: on an nvidia card?
[10:01] <ubuntu> Guys I need to build a debian package for pidgin. I downloaded the tarball, untarr'ed it, ran ./configure
[10:01] <crdlb> that's impossible
[10:01] <tondar> any good met file location for amule?
[10:01] <X-Martin> CheshireViking: shared windows folder pricely
[10:01] <tondar> please paste
[10:01] <ubuntu> Do I run make next? then what?
[10:02] <rollerskatejamms> ubuntu: there already is a pidgin package
[10:02] <ubuntu> I know, but I need to learn how to do this
[10:02] <eyequeue> neil, i'd like to see some document explaining what they add to the install cd when creating an install dvd :)
[10:02] <ubunDummy> crdlb - yes on an Nvidia chipset card
[10:02] <thor> voltage what happens when you run the shared folder app and try to add it there?
[10:02] <pibarnas> When I choose "Tango" icons on gnome-theme-selector, Openoffice icons disappear... could anyone help me?
[10:02] <eyequeue> rollerskatejamms, where?  and when?  i looked all over for a pidgin deb not too terribly long back
[10:02] <crdlb> ubunDummy: then there's no way desktop effects worked without the restricted driver
[10:02] <CheshireViking> X-Martin, so on the same computer as the Ubuntu installation?
[10:02] <voltagex> thor: ftp folder fails to open (silently, unhelpful) from the desktop, but from within a nautilis window it says my username and password are incorrect - it never asked for any
[10:02] <X-Martin> CheshireViking: i've able to browse the folders, but i need to make it auto mount
[10:02] <rollerskatejamms> eyequeue: getdeb.net
[10:03] <ubuntu> So after having run ./configure, then make, I have to run 'check install' to build a package from source correct?
[10:03] <ubunDummy> crdlb - why do you say that?
, have added the local DVD in the source-list, but it still wanted the Net for more stuff.
[10:03] <crdlb> ubunDummy: the open source driver has no DRI
[10:03] <eyequeue> rollerskatejamms, sounds like a site i should have known about already, but didn't :/  i wonder how i dind't
[10:03] <X-Martin> CheshireViking: shared folder from Win2k3 server
[10:03] <thor> so your on a wondows domain/workgroup?
[10:03] <crdlb> it's purely 2d
[10:03] <voltagex> thor: so if I choose public FTP for something that needs a login, it fails to tell me that.
[10:03] <rollerskatejamms> eyequeue: its a crap site. just happens to have a pidgin package
[10:03] <shimete> crimsun: what's sudo?
[10:03] <manopulus> Hello, I have some trouble. I had ubuntu, installed xubuntu-desktop and removed some gnome packages... everything ok, but I lost icons at openoffice. How I can restore them?? Thanks!
[10:03] <crdlb> ubunDummy: run: glxinfo|grep OpenGL\ version\ string
[10:03] <eyequeue> rollerskatejamms, heh
[10:03] <ubunDummy> crdlb - I have no idea how it worked then... here is the out put I got from that command: Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
[10:04] <crimsun> !sudo >shimete
[10:04] <crdlb> ubunDummy: then you did have the drivers installed, but now you don't
[10:04] <rollerskatejamms> ubunDummy: without DRI you cant have effects, you need to set up Xgl
[10:04] <pibarnas> manopulus: I've lost mine too!
[10:04] <crdlb> no you don't need Xgl
[10:04] <rollerskatejamms> ubunDummy: run glxgears and tell me if its smoothe or choppy
[10:04] <manolo_> -----Hi To Everyone there... Is There Someone Who Could Help Me?------
[10:04] <thor> voltagex: the machines your trying to mount, do they (assuming they're doz box's) IPX/SPX protocols installed?
[10:04] <rollerskatejamms> manolo_: !ask
[10:04] <X-Martin> CheshireViking: i have tried to use mount //server/shared folder /home/destination -o username=name....... and so on , but it doesnt work
[10:04] <CheshireViking> X-Martin, i was doing this yesterday, I followed these instructions from UbuntuGuide, maybe these will help http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_mount_network_folders_on_boot-up.2C_and_allow_all_users_to_read.2Fwrite
[10:05] <ubunDummy> crdlb - first message was the same as I just gave you and then this: OpenGL version string: 1.4 (1.5 Mesa 6.5.2)
[10:05] <rollerskatejamms> !ask | manolo_
[10:05] <ubotu> manolo_: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[10:05] <manopulus> pibarnas: and you solved problem? :)
[10:05] <crdlb> ubunDummy: ok: what card is it?
[10:05] <pibarnas> manopulus: nope, I'm here for it!
[10:05] <ydo> my printer stopped working after upgrading to feisty, I've reinstalled a vanilla foo2zjs and firmware installation seem to work, but I cannot print: usbfs: USBDEVFS_CONTROL failed cmd hpiod rqt 128 rq 6 len 255 ret -110
[10:05] <neil> Too many people here, gonna go!  Bye
[10:05] <rollerskatejamms> ydo: sudo fluxcapacitor --fix
[10:05] <crdlb> ubunDummy: are you sure the restricted driver is checked in System>administration>restricted manager ?
[10:06] <CheshireViking> X-Martin, I did it two machines yesterday and it worked without problems, have a look at that walkthrough & I'll try & answer questions if I can
[10:06] <manolo_> Sorry... I'm new on Irc.... and it's all a caos :( can anyone contact me on private? Wanna run Beryl on Ubuntu Festy 7.04 with ATI X1600
[10:06] <ubunDummy> crdlb - I'm a total moron. I have no idea how I didn't realize this but I do in fact have an ATG card
[10:06] <rollerskatejamms> ubunDummy: if you have an ati card you need Xgl
[10:06] <crdlb> ubunDummy: lspci|grep VGA
[10:06] <crdlb> rollerskatejamms: untrue
[10:06] <thor> lol
[10:06] <crdlb> or at least not necessarily true
[10:07] <rollerskatejamms> crdlb: Unless he has one of the few cards that works properly with the open source driver cuz it has direct rendering
[10:07] <shimete> crimsun: so i can't use sudo unless the root account says i can...
[10:07] <ubunDummy> crdlb 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AS [Radeon 9550] 
[10:07] <rollerskatejamms> crdlb: my card has direct rendering but still requires XGL
[10:07] <rollerskatejamms> cuz its too new
[10:07] <X-Martin> CheshireViking, thx ... i check your link
[10:07] <crimsun> shimete: so use it with the primary account.
[10:07] <crdlb> ubunDummy: you should absolutely uncheck the restricted driver
[10:07] <manolo_> ok...
[10:07] <manolo_> lspci|grep VGA
[10:07] <ydo> rollerskatejamms: fluxcapacitor?
[10:07] <rollerskatejamms> ydo: indeed.
[10:07] <manolo_> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M56P [Radeon Mobility X1600] 
[10:07] <crdlb> ubunDummy: the free driver for that card is very good
[10:08] <crdlb> ubunDummy: just use that
[10:08] <rollerskatejamms> ydo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flux_capacitor
[10:08] <X-Martin> <CheshireViking
[10:08] <ubunDummy> crdlb - The problem is I wasn't able to get a higher resolution than 1000xY with that
[10:08] <ubunDummy> I need to be at 1200xY
[10:08] <zie> Anyone use Xara Extreme??
[10:08] <CheshireViking> X-Martin, good luck, I installed smbfs through synaptic & then it was straight forward, when it talks about smbcredentials & username/password, that was a valid username & password for the Windows server though, not your ubuntu ones
[10:08] <crdlb> ubunDummy: lcd or crt?
[10:08] <X-Martin> CheshireViking: have u know kind a software named Lin Neigborhood, it's a package with Knopix distro ?
[10:09] <ubunDummy> crdlb-Yeah just standard big old crt
[10:09] <ydo> rollerskatejamms: :) can we please work together with this?
[10:09] <manolo_> I beg your perdon... I'm not able to understand in this mix of conversations....
[10:09] <CheshireViking> X-Martin, sorry, i've not heard of that
[10:09] <crdlb> ubunDummy: then you can fix it with a modeline
[10:09] <Rupert-Giles> LOLersk8s?
[10:09] <crdlb> !modeline | ubunDummy
[10:09] <ubotu> ubunDummy: A Modeline is a config line in the X server configuration file that gives info about a connected display and how to drive it at a specified display resolution. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFree86_Modeline for more details. Here are 2 links to generate modelines which fit your monitor: http://bohne-lang.de/spec/linux/modeline/ and http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl
[10:09] <manolo_> can someone please contact me on private?
[10:09] <crdlb> ubunDummy: so uncheck the driver
[10:09] <OmiKrOn> hi, are remote isntallations possible in ubuntu?
[10:10] <eyequeue> manopulus, did someone solve that OOo icon problem for you yet?
[10:10] <ubunDummy> crdlb - Ok doing it now
[10:10] <gunny01> how good is ubuntu hardware support on a macbook? does wifi work?
[10:10] <ubunDummy> crdlb 0 that command threw back: bash: !modeline: event not found
[10:10] <manolo_> If  <crdlb> is answering to me to uncheck the driver, well... if i do it X won't start anymore
[10:10] <eyequeue> manopulus, openoffice-style might be the fix, see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=426855&highlight=openoffice+icons
[10:10] <ubunDummy> 0 = -
[10:10] <OmiKrOn> hi, are remote isntallations possible in ubuntu?
[10:11] <Kasio> I have replace Evolution with Thunderbird, and I was wondering if you could link the dates in the Date and Time panel to another calendar application i.e. Rainlendar.
[10:11] <crdlb> ubunDummy: no that was just a command to ubotu
[10:11] <rollerskatejamms> !ubotu
[10:11] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[10:11] <X-Martin> CheshireViking: the tools it's really easy to use and based on GUI, purposed to maintain shared folders on network
[10:11] <ydo> there ought to be channels like #ubuntu-printers #ubuntu-graphics etc..?
[10:11] <openminddj> hi all, i seem to have misplaced 10.storage-policy.fdi.  Would any of you be kind enough to send me a copy of this file for Feisty?
[10:11] <oldude67> whats a good way to split a hard drive without losing my 7.04?
[10:11] <ubunDummy> crdlb - ok. It has the ATI graphics driver not checked under "enabled" but it's status says it's "in use"
[10:12] <crdlb> ubunDummy: come to #ubuntu-effects and I'll help you set up a modeline
[10:12] <gunny01> !macbook
[10:12] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about macbook - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:12] <crdlb> ubunDummy: that's because you haven't rebooted yet
[10:12] <ubunDummy> crdlb ok thanks
[10:12] <rollerskatejamms> !mac
[10:12] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mac - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:12] <ydo> !channels
[10:12] <ubotu> A list of Freenode channels is available via http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - Ubuntu related channels can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat
[10:12] <CheshireViking> X-Martin, I've never found any need for tools to maintained shared folders, I only have one shared server drive for media & documents
[10:12] <manolo_> --------Is there a way to get your attention please?!?--------
[10:13] <rollerskatejamms> !ask | manolo
[10:13] <ubotu> manolo: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[10:13] <eyequeue> ydo, -ChanServ-        Topic: Official Ubuntu Hardware Channel. We are deserted, please try #ubuntu for support
[10:13] <Kasio> I have replace Evolution with Thunderbird, and I was wondering if you could link the dates in the Date and Time panel to another calendar application i.e. Rainlendar.
[10:14] <eyequeue> ydo, /msg ChanServ info #ubuntu-hardware
[10:14] <manolo_> ok.... i'm beging to contact me in private chat... i'm having an headake with all those messages and even dunno with one is direct to me and which one is not!!! :(
[10:14] <oldude67> if i add a hard drive from my old system to this will it let me boot windows or will i have to redo the settings for this...?
[10:14] <dimebar> manolo_: if it says manolo_: at the beginning its directed to you
[10:15] <CheshireViking> !who
[10:15] <ubotu> As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[10:15] <eyequeue> manolo_, it helps most is people address things to your nick at the beginniong of the line (like this)   i don't know much about your problem here myself though, sorry
[10:15] <ward_> did anyone got LIRC to work on ubuntu 7.04 (feisty) ?
[10:15] <openminddj> hi all, i seem to have misplaced 10.storage-policy.fdi for Fiesty.  Would any of you be kind enough to PASTE their file in the pastebin for me?
[10:15] <manolo_> well... easier on private... but seems you are against that... I don't know why...
[10:15] <shimete> !tab
[10:15] <ubotu> You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[10:16] <shimete> ahhh
[10:16] <soundray> !pm > manolo_
[10:16] <ward_> shimete, if u type the person's nickname u talk to, it will highlight the sentence on the other person's screen
[10:16] <gunny01> anyone know about wifi on a macbook under ubuntu?
[10:17] <CheshireViking> manolo_, if everybody keeps their questions & answers in the channel rather in private it might help somebody else, or if the preson helping you goes offline, somebody else might be able to pick the help up
[10:17] <shimete> ward_, yeah i picked that up
[10:17] <ward_> shimete, i meant manolo lol
[10:17] <ward_> shimete, i meant manolo lol
[10:17] <shimete> ward_ lol
[10:17] <ward_> did anyone got LIRC to work on ubuntu 7.04 (feisty) ? i'm getting extremely desperate
[10:17] <thor> LIRC?
[10:18] <ward_> the tutorial i followed: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Install_Lirc_Feisty#head-a16ce36bda606b84aca7755980afb5999ba537b0
[10:18] <ward_> what doesnt seem to work: load the newly compiled module "lirc_serial"
[10:18] <Robbster> lo all. I want to install php5-pear, but it depends on php5-common? I don't want php5, will php5-common mess up a php4 installation?
[10:18] <ward_> FATAL: Error inserting lirc_serial (/lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/misc/lirc_serial.ko): Input/output error
[10:18] <Robbster> lo all. I want to install php4-pear, but it depends on php5-common? I don't want php5, will php5-common mess up a php4 installation?
[10:18] <thor> is it in the universe?
[10:18] <ward_> thor, LIRC = software to use IR receivers with your PC
[10:19] <manolo_> ok... so... any suggestion to run Beryl on Ati cards?
[10:19] <thor> ward_ oh, eh, id have no way of testing it
[10:19] <ward_> thor, u can solder the receiver yourself for like 5euros
[10:19] <manolo_> or any channel to ask for it?
[10:19] <anotherpunk> I just started partitioning but it hasn't moved past 0%, how long should I expect?
[10:20] <CheshireViking> !beryl > manolo_
[10:20] <ward_> thor, also works on windows with the port winLIRC (apperantly MUCH easyer)
[10:20] <soundray> ward_: is your hardware okay?
[10:20] <ward_> soundray, my hardware works fine in windows
[10:20] <gunny01> anotherpunk: using standard install cd? or alternative?
[10:20] <anotherpunk> alternative
 what does     "!beryl > manolo_"   means?
[10:20] <JohnFlux> How do I get fsck to run on the next reboot+?
[10:20] <JohnFlux> I thought there was an option in tune2fs but I cant find it
[10:20] <ward_> soundray, the problem is my comp won't load the new module
[10:21] <CheshireViking> manolo_, you should have a private message from ubuto with instructions on where to find help with beryl
[10:21] <soundray> ward_: I read that
[10:21] <anotherpunk> i'm using the alternative cd and I started maybe ten minutes ago
[10:21] <gunny01> anotherpunk: haven't done that for a while, but I recently installed debian from the txt installer and it took a couple of hours for the whole to work..
[10:21] <gunny01> anotherpunk: hasn't moved off 0%
[10:21] <soundray> ward_: is it a standard serial port? What's the device name?
[10:22] <oldude67> i have a stupid question, i know linux was written on a 386 but what chip? was it intel?
[10:22] <anotherpunk> Not yet it hasn't, so two hours ETA?
 thanks for your informations!!!! ;)
[10:22] <ward_> soundray, its my only serial port, i'm not sure what you mean by the device name, if u tell me how to get it i'll tell u
[10:22] <ward_> (i'm a noob)
[10:22] <CheshireViking> manolo_, did it come through?
[10:23] <soundray> ward_: in Windows, is it COM1?
[10:23] <ward_> soundray, correct
[10:23] <gunny01> anotherpunk: if it hasn't moved in 30min or so, there might be a hardware/install disk problem
[10:23] <manolo_> still waiting for help.... looking at the infos you sent me...
[10:23] <soundray> ward_: if you do a 'ls -l /dev/lirc', do you get any output
[10:23] <anotherpunk> well if it hasn't moved by then, how do I exit the partition manager and should I expect data loss or what?
[10:23] <soundray> ?
[10:23] <manolo_> CheshireViking  still waiting for help.... looking at the infos you sent me...
[10:23] <eck> anotherpunk: you can switch to another VT and view the installer log to see what is going on
[10:24] <ward_> soundray, i get this: crw-rw---- 1 root root 61, 0 2007-05-08 02:03 /dev/lirc
[10:24] <shimete> crimsun, do i need to be an administrator to add myself to the audio group?
[10:24] <eck> anotherpunk: ctrl-alt-fX where X is some number i don't know off the top of my head
[10:24] <crimsun> shimete: you need to have sudo/root access, yes.
[10:24] <CheshireViking> manolo_, ok, that info should help you get started, I don't use beryl so I'm not up-to-date on installing it
[10:24] <gunny01> oldude67: Linus Torvalds started work on linux on a Intel 80386 based IBM PC. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus_Torvalds
[10:24] <soundray> ward_: that's a good sign. Hang on...
[10:24] <ward_> soundray, byut the time = last night... :s
[10:24] <anotherpunk> eck, what's a VT?
[10:24] <shimete> crimsun: ok thanks
[10:24] <eck> anotherpunk: virtual terminal
[10:25] <anotherpunk> virtual terminal in XP?
[10:25] <oldude67> gunny01: thanks....
[10:25] <gunny01> oldude67: my pleasure
[10:25] <eck> uh... a linux console
[10:25] <Akuma_> where can i find an official checksum for feisty?
[10:26] <oldude67> gunny01: i was just wondering cause i had no problems with install, just a few newbie questions...:(
[10:26] <OmiKrOn> hi, are remote isntallations possible in ubuntu?
[10:26] <ward_> soundray, glad to hear finally something is a good sign :p
[10:26] <eck> Akuma_: ftp.releases.ubuntu.com
[10:26] <zaggynl> Akuma_, http://ftp.stw-bonn.de/ubuntu-cd/feisty/MD5SUMS
[10:27] <soundray> ward_: I suggest you try going on with the tutorial and see if you get any other errors/failures. Since udev has already created /dev/lirc for you, you may be able to access your device without the lirc_serial module.
[10:27] <Akuma_> eck: zaggynl: thanks
[10:27] <zaggynl> welcome
[10:27] <gunny01> oldude67: that's cool. wikipedia should have the answers to any other history questions (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux)
[10:27] <oldude67> can anyone tell me how to split my hard drive without losing my fiesty?
[10:28] <eck> OmiKrOn: how do you mean?
[10:28] <regetch> oldude67: you need to resize your partitions
[10:28] <regetch> Then you need to rebuild something I think
[10:28] <eck> oldude67: it may or may not be possible depending on what filesystem you are trying to shrink
[10:28] <regetch> Can't remember what
[10:28] <oldude67> regetch: yes, i want to run unix and slackware.
[10:29] <_Codeman_> sudo: timestamp too far in the future: May  8 04:01:20 2007 <-- how do I fix this?
[10:29] <regetch> I think it is possible with certain tools
[10:29] <willvarfar> having come from Kubuntu, I'm fairly fond of KDevelop; what equiv should I install on Ubuntu?
[10:29] <regetch> KDevelop is avaliable for ubuntu I believe?
[10:30] <predaeus> OmiKrOn, there was somebody here once who mentioned some netinstall with some tool for ubuntu. Which would change the bootsector to boot some installer to retrieve ubuntu over the network. Don't remember the name of the tool though. I think it was mentioned in the forums.
[10:30] <eck> _Codeman_: try updating your clock (e.g. ntpdate pool.ntp.org)
[10:30] <oldude67> eck: i only run linux on this computer and i only have ubuntu on it...built just for linux and unix
[10:30] <regetch> Just you need to install the kde stuff
[10:30] <predaeus> too late :-(
[10:30] <eck> oldude67: some filesystems still cannot be shrunk (e.g. XFS)
[10:30] <soundray> _Codeman_: sudo -K
[10:30] <eck> oldude67: you can shrink ext2/3 for sure though
[10:30] <jacquesmerde> sorry, i'm new to ubuntu. how do i find out the configure flags of a package in universe?
[10:30] <crimsun> regetch: yes.
[10:30] <oldude67> dont want to shrink just want to use what its not.
[10:31] <ward_> soundray, nope still nothing, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19766/
[10:31] <_Codeman_> I just adjusted my clock it was an hour fast
[10:31] <oldude67> eck: i dont remember for sure what im using....how do i tell?
[10:31] <eck> oldude67: are you trying to use space that currently has a filesystem?
[10:32] <oldude67> eck: i dont know. im new?
[10:32] <esculapius> hi
[10:32] <eck> oldude67: i would just use gparted (or parted)
[10:32] <esculapius> I would have a question
[10:32] <oldude67> well qt parted did not even see the hard drive im using now....and like i said im new.....
[10:32] <soundray> _Codeman_: if 'sudo -K' doesn't work, boot in recovery mode and remove /var/run/sudo/yourusername
[10:32] <esculapius> how to install a old usb adsl modem (d-link dsl 302-t) on the old machine of my father?
[10:33] <esculapius> where I am starting from?
[10:33] <Hamm_desktop> ne1 here familiar with linksys networking equipment
[10:33] <oldude67> eck:well qt parted did not even see the hard drive im using now....and like i said im new
[10:33] <eck> oldude67: do: sudo parted /dev/your_hdd
[10:33] <esculapius> I would like to install there xubuntu but I'm not sure the modem will work
[10:33] <eck> oldude67: then type 'print' (without the quotes)
[10:33] <esculapius> how to do?
[10:33] <eck> and then 'quit'
[10:33] <ward_> soundray, any more suggestions?
[10:33] <oldude67> eck: that should tell me what?
[10:34] <eck> oldude67: the layout of your hdd and what filesystems you are using
[10:34] <oldude67> eck: ty
[10:34] <esculapius> anyone kwons anything about that?
[10:34] <Thor> about what
[10:34] <eck> esculapius: i think it depends what brand of modem you have
[10:34] <Hamm_desktop> i have a question if maybe someone could take a looksi:   http://rafb.net/p/ImigAZ81.html
[10:34] <soundray> ward_: it's looking for /dev/lirc0 rather than /dev/lirc, so you want a link like this: 'cd /dev ; sudo ln -sf lirc lirc0'
[10:35] <ward_> soundray, will try, thanx
[10:35] <tRSS> ~date
[10:35] <tRSS> !date
[10:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about date - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:35] <_Codeman_> that worked thanks :D
[10:35] <soundray> _Codeman_: sudo -K or recovery?
[10:35] <eck> Hamm_desktop: it should be fine
[10:35] <esculapius> eck, i have d-link dsl 320t
[10:35] <Hamm_desktop> ok sw33t
[10:35] <eck> Hamm_desktop: as long as you have the drivers for the card
[10:35] <tRSS> how can I change the time and the time zone from bash. i am on ubuntu 7.04 server.
[10:36] <_Codeman_> sudo -K
[10:36] <ward_> soundray, still exactly the same problem
[10:36] <Hamm_desktop> eck:  ubuntu found the card right away....do you think fedora 6 will do that
[10:36] <esculapius> Thor,about installing on xubuntu an adsl usb modem? Is it difficult?
[10:36] <soundray> ward_: can you give me that URL again please
[10:37] <Kasio> Can anyone tell me how to link the days in the Date Time applet in the top panel to another calendar program , not Evolution?
[10:37] <eck> esculapius: it looks like it is supported out of the box (see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=274626)
[10:37] <BioNik> hello.. i'm using ubuntu and some kde programs.. where to set the kde-programs to open folders using double click instead of one click.. i wouldn't like to install whole kde to achieve that :)
[10:37] <rollerskatejamms> Why would you want to install xubuntu ON the modem?
[10:37] <Thor> exculapius depends, does the device appear at all?
[10:37] <ward_> soundray, pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19766/
[10:37] <Thor> im not familiar with adsl lines as the USA really doesnt use them
[10:37] <jacquesmerde> sorry, i'm new to ubuntu. how do i find out the configure flags of a package in universe?

[10:37] <soundray> Kasio: I don't think you can. You'd have to use another applet, and I'm not sure whether Mozilla provides one or not.
[10:38] <rollerskatejamms> Thor, the usa has plenty of ADSL lines
[10:38] <rollerskatejamms> Thor, most home dsl is ADSL
[10:38] <soundray> ward_: yeah, the latter, thank
[10:38] <Thor> >.<
[10:38] <soundray> s
[10:38] <Hamm_desktop> yup i'm on adsl it sux
[10:38] <eck> jacquesmerde: you mean the flags used to build the package?
[10:38] <rollerskatejamms> ADSL = asynchronous ADSL, it means your up and down speeds are different thats all
[10:38] <rollerskatejamms> im in new york city, I have ADSL
[10:38] <jacquesmerde> eck: yup
[10:38] <ward_> soundray, no thank YOU lol
[10:38] <rollerskatejamms> 3 megabits down, 768 up
[10:38] <eck> jacquesmerde: afaik you need to download the source (apt-get source some_package) and look at debian/rules
[10:39] <jacquesmerde> eck, in this case, the flags given to ./configure specifically
[10:39] <eck> jacquesmerde: someone on #ubuntu-motu might know a better method
[10:39] <Thor> are you connected to your modem via USB?
[10:39] <el_chato> no
[10:39] <jacquesmerde> eck: what's motu?
[10:39] <soundray> ward_: try 'sudo irrecord -d /dev/lirc lircd.conf'
[10:39] <eck> jacquesmerde: the maintainers of multiverse/universe i.e. the people you can bug without upsetting the real ubuntu devs ;-)
[10:40] <ward_> soundray, ok
[10:40] <esculapius> Thor, actually I am using windows on this old machine that I would convert to xubuntu?
[10:40] <esculapius> do you think could be difficult?
[10:40] <crimsun> eck: erm, some of us are also real ubuntu devs.
[10:40] <ward_> soundray, same
[10:40] <eck> yes, well the ubuntu devs wear many hats :-)
[10:40] <ward_> soundray, i'm starting to think irrecord was programmed to output those lines :-p
[10:40] <Thor> esculapius, just d/l the live CD and test it.
[10:41] <Thor> but generaly, a wired connection works almost flawlessly
[10:41] <anotherpunk> just finished partitioning :] 
[10:42] <JarJarBinks> rollersk1tejamms: how much do you give for that connection?
[10:42] <jacquesmerde> eck: apparently i need dpkg-dev (1) to run apt-get source???
[10:43] <bam> Hi. I was wondering if anyone could hep me out with why my Kubuntu Feisty mp3's suddenly start going faster and then slow down and then maybe a few seconds later go faster again and so on?
[10:43] <Thegiver> i installed vlc but it doesnt show in any of my menus
[10:43] <Thegiver> how do i start it
[10:43] <anotherpunk> If I have 14 GB to use for ubuntu, how should I allocate it?
[10:43] <Thor> thegiver
[10:43] <MenZa> Thegiver: vlc&
[10:43] <MenZa> afaik
[10:43] <Thor> run it from terminal
[10:44] <thebillywayne> anotherpunk, 6GiB for /. Rest for /home.
[10:44] <JarJarBinks> anotherpunk: 1G swap 13G joined root and boot
[10:44] <eck> jacquesmerde: i belive you need it so apt-get source can properly unpack the source and stuff in the debian patches/files and whatnot for you
[10:44] <Thegiver> it keeps on bringing up some remote control interface
[10:44] <tRSS> how can I change the time and the time zone from bash? i am on ubuntu 7.04 server. Help would be appreciated!
[10:44] <thebillywayne> anotherpunk, oh yeah.  don't forget swap.  at least 256 MB.
[10:44] <anotherpunk> I have 256 MB RAM so double that for Swap, right?
[10:44] <BioNik> thebillywayne: tzselect
[10:44] <eck> tRSS: use tzselect (or tzconfig)
[10:44] <noget> hey eveybody, can someone tell me why the video "flickers" in firefox, when streaming a file?
[10:44] <tRSS> thanks eck!
[10:44] <thebillywayne> anotherpunk, that's a good rule of thumb, yes.  :)
[10:44] <BioNik> oops wrong nick :P
[10:45] <Thor> double to tripple is a safe bet
[10:45] <z987k> I'm having problems with fsck, it keeps wanting to run on sda1 at every stratuy saying it hasn't been checked in 30+n times, it does this every boot
[10:45] <noget> sometimes its completely black
[10:45] <thebillywayne> BioNik, it's cool.
[10:45] <bam> anybody?
[10:45] <eck> tRSS: there is also an environment variable you can set, but on a single user system that might be suboptimal
[10:45] <ward_> soundray, any more suggestions? maybe i should try to compile the source?
[10:45] <anotherpunk> thanks guys :) i'll get back to you after I repartition this
[10:45] <thebillywayne> good luck
[10:45] <soundray> ward_: I'm looking for the bit where it recommends running 'modprobe lirc_serial'. It doesn't, or am I just not finding it?
[10:45] <Thor> trss im not sure how to change time for bash
[10:46] <ward_> soundray, it says: sudo modprobe lirc_mceusb
[10:46] <eck> i think triple ram for swap is too much
[10:46] <ward_> soundray, but that's an example
[10:46] <BioNik> i'm using ubuntu and some kde programs.. where to set the kde-programs to open folders using double click instead of one click.. i wouldn't like to install whole kde to achieve that :)
[10:46] <ward_> soundray, i have a serial receiver so i build lirc_serial
[10:46] <z987k> I'm having problems with fsck, it keeps wanting to run on sda1 at every stratuy saying it hasn't been checked in 30+n times, it does this every boot.  Every time I let it run and then it does it again next time.  Plus I hate running it on the drive, it's 400gb - takes forever
[10:46] <soundray> ward_: did you follow the advice on disabling kernel serial support?
[10:46] <jacquesmerde> eck: ok, the package is unpacked. but now i have no idea where to look
[10:47] <soundray> ward_: section "Serial Receiver / Transmitter"
[10:47] <ward_> soundray, yes i tried that yesterday but i'll try again now
[10:47] <eck> jacquesmerde: if you go into the directory package-version/debian you'll see all the build stuff
[10:47] <anotherpunk> hey what is swap for anyway?
[10:47] <Thor> z987k make sure that its not a service thats enabled, if so disable it
[10:47] <Thor> swap is like windows virtual memory
[10:47] <tRSS> oooh... is it that difficult to change time from bash. my suppor staff installed the machine with EDT , instead of GMT+5. i need to change it to GMT+5
[10:48] <soundray> ward_: also, use 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' to see any error messages that are logged before you even try to load lirc_serial.
[10:48] <Cryoniq> Help: Trying to get TeamSpeak working under Feisty. Sounds works ok in system, and mic reccords. But in TeamSpeak both sound and mic are muted and cannot be unmuted. Tried every faq and howto out there + forums. I am clueless after days of trying.
[10:48] <z987k> Thor,  yes that would work but don't I want fsck to run every now and then?  I just dont want it running every time, which makes my think something is wrong
[10:48] <eck> jacquesmerde: i think the main thing you want to look at is debian/rules, but the debian build system can be pretty hairy
[10:48] <ward_> soundray, so i now first do tail -f /var/... ?
[10:48] <soundray> ward_: if it still doesn't work, you should probably look somewhere else for help, like lirc mailing lists.
[10:49] <jacquesmerde> debian/rules ? damn, that was hard to find. i was hoping to read that file from within synaptic
[10:49] <soundray> ward_: yes, you can run the tail in a separate terminal to see what's happening while you are trying things.
[10:49] <Thor> tRSS you should be able to just change it by System>Administration>Time and Date
[10:49] <ward_> soundray, or jsut use windows lol, it works perfectly there
[10:49] <ward_> soundray, never thought a windows-port would work better then the original :(
[10:49] <Kasio> any1 here aged 15 or under
[10:49] <z987k> also fsck isn't a service, it's something that is ran at startup.... or manually
[10:50] <soundray> ward_: I only have superficial knowledge of lirc, and nobody else here seems to know better.
[10:50] <Kasio> i am 14 and looking to talk to another ubuntu (teen) enthusiast
[10:50] <Thor> hmm
[10:50] <soundray> ward_: it's probably something basic, like the kernel serial support interfering or similar.
[10:50] <zaggynl> Kasio, ..wait...what?
[10:50] <ward_> soundray, i know, its not that i don't appreciate it, i just don't understand how an application can be so hard to get working
[10:50] <imbecile> hey guys, :) what program do i use to open rar files? the type with the r00.r01 extensions
[10:50] <thebillywayne> Kasio, join #ubuntu-offtopic please,  :)
[10:50] <soundray> ward_: LIRC is famous for that, though.
[10:51] <tantillum> Hello everyone, just thought I would introduce myself. I'm new to Linux in general, but I'm willing to learn. I'm currently using Ubuntu 7, and it works perfectly on my system. I thought this would be a good place to come and learn a little more.
[10:51] <soundray> ward_: I should say notorious.
[10:51] <Thor> imbecile: Arc, or archive manager
[10:51] <ward_> soundray, i'm trying now for at least 8hours, i think many people would have gave up allready
[10:51] <Myrtti> tantillum: welcome!
[10:51] <imbecile> Thor,  thanks alot man
[10:51] <miranda82> hello guys
[10:52] <tantillum> I'm currently at work, and I can't help but brag about having Wireless work on my system for the first time without using Windows. :p
[10:52] <Thor> or Ark i think for kde,
[10:52] <soundray> ward_: I know what it's like
[10:52] <miranda82> how can i adjust the size of subtitle, when using mencoder with -sub option?
[10:52] <Thor> tantillum welcome
[10:52] <z987k> imbecile, or you could use the cli unrar
[10:53] <Thor> i too have wireless on a laptop with ubuntu
[10:53] <eck> miranda82: isn't the subtitle in a separate file?
[10:53] <soundray> tantillum: well done. You've come to the right place to ask support questions.
[10:53] <miranda82> eck, yes
[10:53] <eck> miranda82: there's some option you can put in .mplayer/config to change the subtitle font/size/color/etc.
[10:53] <miranda82> eck, not for playing, the problem comes encoding
[10:53] <miranda82> eck, when playing it's just nive
[10:53] <miranda82> nice
[10:53] <Thor> ubuntu 7 + beryl FTW!
[10:54] <eck> i'm not sure, i would just try to use a file format that allows the inclusion of a subtitle as a separate file
[10:54] <ward_> soundray, just to make sure, its enough to make a file called lirc.conf in /etc/modprobe.d/ with the lines from the tutorial in it?
[10:54] <ward_> soundray, (because if so, that file is still there)
[10:54] <miranda82> eck, what i say, is when i merge them, the size of the subtitle goes too big
[10:54] <tantillum> soundray: Judging by your name I'm wondering if you'd know anything about how to get my sound from being scratchy? I am using a Toshiba Satellite P105-S6187, and it was buggy and difficult to get my sound working in the first place. Something to do with the ACPI and modifying my DSDT. I managed to find some resources online and walked through the process. With help from a friend who apparently likes me for some reason. ^_^; The only issue with my sound
[10:54] <imbecile> do any of the have a gui?
[10:55] <soundray> ward_: if you have standard IRQ and IO port settings, yes
[10:55] <wizar> hello, i have a problem with edubuntu 7.04 and ltsp. every client is able to connect to the server, but now i'm trying to boot from a toshiba notebook (with a marvell 88e8036 pci-e network-card), it shows the bootsplash, and after that te screen is freezing...
[10:55] <eck> miranda82: not sure, i would try #mplayer
[10:55] <soundray> tantillum: sorry, my nick stems back from a time when I worked with medical ultrasound.
[10:56] <g0vner> i dont knwo why but when i install linux it says "error loading operating system" but with winxp it loads fine.. :/ any idea what's the origin of the problem ?
[10:56] <miranda82> eck, thx
[10:56] <s_spiff> cab someone tell me how to use/install a webcam for gaim?
[10:56] <ward_> soundray, yep they sohuld be correct
[10:56] <g0vner> i need a direction
[10:56] <g0vner> i know it can be many things
[10:56] <tantillum> soundray: Sorry. u_u
[10:56] <eck> g0vner: do you have the exact error message?
[10:56] <g0vner> yes i wrote it above
[10:56] <Thor> g0vner
[10:56] <wizar> ipconfig: eth0: SIOCGIFINDEX: No such device
[10:56] <wizar> ipconfig: no device to configure
[10:56] <wizar> Kernel panic
[10:56] <soundray> tantillum: do say what your sound issue is, though. It was cut off above.
[10:57] <g0vner> "error loading operating syster"
[10:57] <Thor> sounds like you messed up your MBR
[10:57] <Thor> or forgot to install GRUB
[10:57] <g0vner> Thor yes im getting the feeling it has to do something with it
[10:57] <tantillum> soundray: It's scratchy when I play Frozen Bubble, Chromium or Supertux. The music is scratchy and also causes the graphics to flicker a bit.
[10:57] <s_spiff> anyone here who can help me with setting up my web cam?
[10:57] <g0vner> could it be that the mbr won't let me change what's in it ?
[10:57] <Dandr1> hello
[10:58] <g0vner> Thor andatche since i had winodws on it it won't work with anything else ?
[10:58] <tantillum> soundray: It works fine when I start the games without sound or music. After which it works perfectly and smoothly. I have a similar issue with Xine but I just started that with the XShm switch and it works fine.
[10:58] <Dandr1> Where should I find all boot options for seisty live cdrom?
[10:58] <g0vner> Thor : could it be something with bios ? some safty?
[10:58] <eck> g0vner: if you are getting an error you've already changed what's in it ;-)
[10:59] <Thor> g0vner that shouldnt matter, might as well do a full blown install over the entire disk
[10:59] <eck> Dandr1: i believe if you hit the F* keys while it's at the boot screen you can view the options
[10:59] <imbecile> can anyone recommend a good linux tutorial book?
[10:59] <rudylar> hello
[10:59] <Thor> otherwise your last ditch effort to save your XP partition is to run the recovery console off the XP cd and repair the MBR, otherwise your kinda SOL
[10:59] <Dandr1> I haven't found the option for setting the default language eck
[11:00] <tantillum> I'll be right back.
[11:00] <ward_> soundray, still nothing :( thanx for your help anyway
[11:00] <soundray> tantillum: which driver are you using for your graphics?
[11:00] <eck> imbecile: i liked the linux administration handbook, although it has a sysadmin focus and it wasn't the first book i read
[11:00] <eck> (by evi nemeth)
[11:01] <soundray> ward_: when you've made changes to the modprobe configuration, it's sometimes best to reboot to ensure the new settings are used.
[11:01] <ward_> soundray, will do that now then because that's the ony think i didn't do
[11:02] <ward_> brb
[11:02] <imbecile> eck,  you think that will be an easy way to better get aquainted with the os?
[11:02] <zie> Need an opinion on a websites Design, RESPOND and ill put out the link to the site
[11:02] <z987k> have another problem, beryl just stopped working on day for absolutely no reason.  Just woke up and the default theme of ubuntu was up and loading beryl does nothing, and ideas where to start there?
[11:03] <D_STAR> hi can some one help me? i got a problem when i should install wine.my acc name is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
[11:03] <Thor> zie what site
[11:03] <zie> http://www.getashell.com/~skylight/pacificwave/
[11:03] <zie> i built it
[11:03] <eck> imbecile: i think a book is a good idea, it depends on exactly what you want to learn though
[11:03] <zie> i want to know if its good
[11:03] <zie> its just the home page
[11:03] <zie> no links work yet
[11:04] <Thor> zie its a good start
[11:04] <zie> like the graphics? are they all good and stuff
[11:04] <zie> lol
[11:04] <ward_> soundray, nope nothing :(
[11:05] <soundray> ward_: sorry... LIRC mailing lists?
[11:05] <Supergirl> Guys, how do I change my password on here? Just curious.
[11:05] <zie> hmm are you allready IDENTIFIED
[11:05] <s_spiff> Supergirl, one the top panel : System>Admin>Users and Groups
[11:05] <Thor> ya its smooth
[11:05] <s_spiff> ohh ok here.sorry
[11:05] <Thor> i do design myself
[11:06] <Supergirl> Uh, I mean on IRC.
[11:06] <zie> kool
[11:06] <zie> yah im putting together a design team Im actually looking for Designers
[11:06] <ward_> soundray, nah, i'm gonna try #mythtv-users and #ubuntu-nl, if that still isnt enough i'm gonna stop wasting my time on LIRC, because this is without a doubt the worst "install" process i ever been trough
[11:06] <soundray> D_STAR: the first user you create is normally automatically in the admin group and thus in the sudoers list.
[11:06] <s_spiff> Supergirl, sorry, didn't realise :P
[11:06] <ward_> soundray, could you please tell me how to get everything from LIRC completely from my system if i can't find a solution?
[11:06] <g0vner> wait thor , lemme get it stright, isn't there an option in bios that won't let me change the mbr ?(cause i did install on all the drive , and got grub installed)
[11:07] <Supergirl> :( I'd really like to change it if someone knows how to help me with that?
[11:07] <Thor> zie: my stuff- http://keeperfx.com/newgallary/index.php?cat=0
[11:07] <zie> Thor: DO you have a portfolio
[11:07] <zie> lol ok
[11:07] <soundray> ward_: well, LIRC isn't end user software. It's experimental.
[11:07] <wizar> is here someone who has install edubuntu with ltsp
[11:07] <wizar> feisty
[11:07] <D_STAR> soundray: k how to fix that?
[11:07] <soundray> ward_: I wouldn't try to remove anything. It won't eat any bread if you see what I mean.
[11:07] <Thor> g0vner, i suppose it could be an option, its just something your gonna have to look at
[11:08] <soundray> D_STAR: are you trying to install wine while you're logged in as the first user on your system?
[11:08] <zie> Thor: wow, im actually impressed, nice work man
[11:08] <ward_> soundray, i'm not sure, its a server, i would rather get it off
[11:08] <g0vner> Thor : any direction in what i should look for ?
[11:08] <cake> hey which chan to get support on beryl stuff?
[11:08] <cake> here or someplace else?
[11:08] <zie> so i take it that thoose graphics where maid are just for fun,
[11:08] <zie> BRB
[11:08] <CheshireViking> !beryl | cake
[11:08] <ubotu> cake: Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[11:08] <Supergirl> Nevermind, I figured it out.
[11:08] <Supergirl> Smart I am. :p
[11:09] <Supergirl> When In doubt, use HELP.
[11:09] <D_STAR> soundray: i dont know....  i installed it today
[11:09] <D_STAR> soundray: i only created one acc
[11:09] <Thor> ya i made them
[11:09] <Supergirl> I'll idle now. If that's okay.
[11:10] <Thor> g0vner, ummm check in the boot options, or in the IDE settings, just explore
[11:10] <g0vner> i did :/
[11:10] <g0vner> havn't noticed anything peculiar
[11:10] <bobslaede> I have a ubuntu 6.10 machine running (custom kernel, nfs stuff), and i'm not able to connect to my pop3 server on port 110, no tls or ssl
[11:10] <wizard__> !beryl
[11:10] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[11:11] <wizard__> ohh wow nice ubotu
[11:11] <wizard__> you're useful
[11:11] <wizard__> next time why don't you just say "i don't know crap, go somewhere else"
[11:11] <shimete> crimsun: you still there?
[11:11] <soundray> ward_: 'sudo apt-get --purge remove lirc lirc-modules-source' should get rid of it. Also remove any module packages you've compiled.
[11:11] <tomix> can anyone recommend a ftps client with gui?
[11:11] <Myrtti> ftps?
[11:11] <soundray> D_STAR: when you run 'groups', is 'admin' in the list?
[11:11] <Myrtti> not sftp?
[11:11] <tomix> myrtti yes
[11:11] <tomix> no not sftp
[11:11] <bobslaede> tomix: gftp
[11:11] <Myrtti> that's a new one
[11:13] <tomix> as far as im aware the two are different and gftp doesnt seem to have support for FTPS
[11:13] <D_STAR> soundray: this is what i se adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev powerdev netdev
[11:13] <sente> i just loaded ubuntu for the first to install java, i'm following the guides on java.sun.com, but i can't su because i don't know my own root password..which i've never set
[11:13] <eck> bobslaede: ubuntu is on the pop3 server?
[11:13] <zie> Thor: Im looking for someone who can create commercial graphics for online and offline use, you think you can be of service
[11:13] <bobslaede> eck: no
[11:13] <bobslaede> eck: ubuntu on the client
[11:13] <eck> bobslaede: nmap the server and check that you can see pop on the server
[11:13] <tondar> how can I add stuff to kiba-dock?
[11:13] <bobslaede> eck: i have alot of other linux and windows clients running on the same network, everybody else can check their mail
[11:14] <Xpert> Hi
[11:14] <bobslaede> eck: i did, i can also telnet it
[11:14] <eck> bobslaede: although you ought to be able to at least telnet in
[11:14] <Xpert> I need support in an installation of ubuntu
[11:14] <Xpert> please...
[11:14] <Thor> zie: its been a while, but ya im game
[11:14] <soundray> D_STAR: reboot, and at the boot menu, choose the second option, recovery mode. When it's up, run 'adduser d_star admin' (assuming that d_star is your username).
[11:14] <bobslaede> eck: but, no email client can get mail from it
[11:14] <tondar> I drag them into, but the dock will close and after restart the dragged item is not in there!!
[11:14] <zie> ok so you would be apoart of PacificWaveDirect
[11:14] <zie> if so you need to join our IRC
[11:14] <eck> weird
[11:14] <ward_> soundray, thanx
[11:14] <bobslaede> eck: very
[11:15] <Thor> exciting
[11:15] <soundray> D_STAR: reboot in normal mode, then you should be able to use sudo.
[11:15] <bobslaede> eck: and nothing blocking port 110 on my machine
[11:15] <zie> hold on amoment
[11:15] <D_STAR> soundray:  :D thx thats great!
[11:15] <Neocicak> hi all... does anyone know how i can set the screensaver setting? i.e. i know each screensaver has different setting, and i cant find a way to set them in the screensaver preferences in GNOME
[11:15] <eck> bobslaede: can you get in on the ssl port (openssl s_client -connect server:port)?
[11:15] <Xpert> I have a notebook acear AS5620 with centrino core duo 1.6, 1gb ram, but i got the latest desktop version the 7.04 and burn a cd of instalation... as i m running windows too i m using a virtual machine (wmware) to emule it.. but when i go to instal appers a message that my system do not support long mode... and say to me obtain a 32 bits version
[11:15] <Xpert> is it a 64 bits version...
[11:15] <bobslaede> eck: ill give that a quick try
[11:16] <Xpert> that version in the site ???????
[11:16] <Xpert> acer*
[11:16] <bobslaede> eck: it connected
[11:16] <Neocicak> !screensaver
[11:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about screensaver - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:16] <Xpert> who can help m
[11:16] <Xpert> please
[11:16] <bobslaede> eck: 10140:error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol:s23_clnt.c:567:
[11:16] <soundray> Xpert: yes, you got the wrong CD. You can only run the i386 version in vmware.
[11:17] <bobslaede> eck: i don't think it has ssl support on the pop3 server, and the mail client wont connect with tls, or ssl
[11:17] <Xpert> soundray which one i have to obtain i only saw in site a 6... and 7.04 version
[11:18] <rollerskatejamms> Neocicak, You can't change screensaver settings in ubuntu.
[11:18] <Cryoniq> sigh.. TeamSpeak must be the worst piece of crap ever getting to work..
[11:18] <Xpert> which is the 32 bits, and which should i get
[11:18] <eck> i'm not really sure what the problem could be. i think you can run fetchmail in a verbose mode where it prints everything that is going on, that might help you get started
[11:18] <soundray> Xpert: the one where the filename ends in i386.iso (the PC version).
[11:18] <bobslaede> eck: i'll give that a try, thanks
[11:18] <Neocicak> rollerskatejamms: hmm... thats a bit sad isnt it... i'm sure there are plenty of tweaks you can do to the screensavers... e.g. gltext--> why would I want to show my kernel version????
[11:19] <soundray> Xpert: 7.04 is the latest, so pick that.
[11:19] <Xpert> soundray but in download page there are only two...
[11:19] <Xpert> let me see
[11:19] <Xpert> soundray i picked this one!
[11:19] <Wohoo0> does anyone use macchanger?
[11:19] <Xpert> 698 mb
[11:19] <shimete> I need a bit more help
[11:19] <rollerskatejamms> Neocicak, yeah. There've been bugs filed against that, and they're all rejected.
[11:19] <sente> how do i install java on ubuntu? it doesn't even come with `rpm' which is what the java.sun.com site says to do
[11:19] <Xpert> soundray ubuntu-7.04-alternate-amd64
[11:19] <Xpert> that is the archive name
[11:19] <Neocicak> rollerskatejamms: that is such a shame
[11:19] <zie> im hurrying
[11:19] <PriceChild> !java | sente
[11:19] <ubotu> sente: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[11:20] <rollerskatejamms> apt-get install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin
[11:20] <rollerskatejamms> oh and sun-java6-fonts
[11:20] <shimete> i've just gotten my dad to add me to the audio group using sudo but my sound still wont work and i'm still getting the same errors "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found."
[11:20] <soundray> Xpert: look carefully: it ends in amd64, not i386. So you downloaded the wrong one. You can install the amd64 version on your machine, but not in vmware. You would have to set up a dual-boot system with it.
[11:20] <Thor> its cool, im watching tv anyways zie
[11:21] <zie> lol ok
[11:21] <nada> hi every body
[11:21] <MenZa> !hi
[11:21] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[11:22] <Xpert> soundray a, then i need to obtain the 7.04 but i386 socket right?
[11:22] <soundray> Xpert: I don't know what you mean by "socket"
[11:22] <Xpert> ok
[11:23] <Xpert> thanks very much soundray
[11:23] <Xpert> i ll seek it.

[11:24] <MenZa> !offtopic | zie
[11:24] <ubotu> zie: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[11:24] <soundray> D_STAR: something must have seriously gone wrong during the installation. If it was my system, I would start over and install again.
[11:25] <pwuertz_> I want to unmount a an usb drive, but it says "cannot eject volume" what can I do about it?
[11:25] <zie> Im off topic
[11:25] <zie> lol

[11:26] <zie> lol
[11:26] <Thor> but i just read above
[11:26] <zie> THor join #pacificwavedirect
[11:26] <soundray> D_STAR: if that's not an option, you could try creating the admin group, but with a weirdness like this, it's hard to tell what else has gone wrong.
[11:27] <D_STAR> soundray: isnt adm=Adimin
[11:27] <soundray> Xpert: it's not a problem.
[11:27] <Xpert> soundray  =DDD
[11:27] <Xpert> ok
[11:27] <soundray> D_STAR: no, the adm group has a different function.
[11:27] <zie> why was i kicked
[11:27] <bobslaede> eck: nothing happens with fetchmail, it tries to connect, but just stands there, doing nothing
[11:27] <PriceChild> zie: pm me please
[11:27] <Amaranth> zie: Spamming.
[11:27] <D_STAR> soundray: ah ok
[11:27] <Xpert> zie do not spam
[11:28] <Xpert> who are the ops?
[11:28] <Xpert> where are the @ symbols ?
[11:28] <PriceChild> Xpert: /msg chanserv access #ubuntu list
[11:28] <Xpert> ok
[11:28] <zie>  i was just gathering my design crew that where in ubuntu
[11:28] <zie> sorry
[11:28] <eck> bobslaede: i'm not sure how that could be, given that you can telnet into the host on that port
[11:29] <bobslaede> eck: its very weird
[11:30] <orbin> fsckr: hiya
[11:31] <laughing_at_yo1> hello all, how do i get ubuntu to use my swap partition, i installed it to hard drive and there is no hard drive activity
[11:32] <thebillywayne> laughing_at_yo1, sudo swapon /dev/sda?
[11:32] <laughing_at_yo1> ok
[11:32] <soundray> thebillywayne, laughing_at_yo1, not /dev/sda please
[11:33] <thebillywayne> :D
[11:33] <laughing_at_yo1> i know
[11:33] <laughing_at_yo1> it would be /dev/hdb1
[11:34] <valehru> Im having problems with my bcm4318 card....it works fine one minute then drops completely.....really strange....
[11:34] <laughing_at_yo1> it says device or resource busy...
[11:34] <laughing_at_yo1> how do i find out if i have a swap loaded?
[11:34] <thebillywayne> laughing_at_yo1, free
[11:35] <bobslaede> eck: i can perfectly fine check mail with fetchmail on another linux machine. only difference really in the machines, is the kernel version
[11:35] <simplexio> laughing_at_yo1: top tells that. mount too
[11:35] <thebillywayne> laughing_at_yo1, you should read something in "Swap" row.
[11:35] <eck> bobslaede: if you are feeling ambitious you can tcpdump it
[11:35] <laughing_at_yo1> using 34mb of it...
[11:35] <ferguscan> Is there a way to magically initiate the Edgy->Feisty upgrade from the command line?
[11:35] <bobslaede> eck: i'll try it
[11:35] <ferguscan> Or do I have to edit my sources.list manually?
[11:36] <ssscotty6> Good morning all.
[11:36] <soundray> !upgrade > ferguscan, please read the private message. You'll have to follow the "not recommended" procedure.
[11:36] <coolgeek> is there a command to view all users that i have?
[11:36] <soundray> coolgeek: cat /etc/passwd
[11:37] <PriceChild> ferguscan: system > admin > software sources
[11:37] <eck> coolgeek: you might want to grep out accounts with shells like /bin/false or /bin/nologin
[11:37] <ferguscan> PriceChild, that doesn't sound very command line.
[11:37] <PriceChild> ferguscan: well its either that or editing the file
[11:38] <laughing_at_yo1> mount doesn't say anything is mounted under /dev/hdb1 or /dev/hdb at all
[11:38] <vlt> Hello. How can I connect from Ubuntu (UTF-8) to an ISO-8859-1 encoded SSH server?
[11:38] <ferguscan> PriceChild, manual edit it is!
[11:38] <Lopi_> wiHi
[11:38] <Lopi_> Hi
[11:38] <Mayjestic_12> hello... is there any Terminal (RS232/Serial) application (gui) available on Ubuntu?
[11:38] <bobslaede> eck: what would be a good expression for tcpdump to capture the "good" packets?
[11:38] <PriceChild> ferguscan: kep backups! :)
[11:38] <eck> vlt: afaik there shouldn't be a problem
[11:38] <eck> bobslaede: i'm not sure, i just cheat and use wireshark :-)
[11:38] <soundray> ferguscan: did you get ubotu's pm?
[11:38] <bobslaede> eck: heh
[11:39] <ferguscan> soundray, yup, thanks.
[11:39] <Myrtti> vlt: luit is probably the easiest way
[11:39] <bobslaede> eck: i'll just cheat too then
[11:39] <Myrtti> vlt: luit ssh <hostname>
[11:39] <eck> bobslaede: you can also import a tcpdump capture into wireshark if the box is headless
[11:39] <vlt> Myrtti: I'l try, thanks.
[11:39] <laughing_at_yo1> the way this thing's running there is no way i have a swap on, i didn't format a swap partition when i installed because i already had one
[11:39] <laughing_at_yo1> i have another 2gb drive that i use for nothing but swap
[11:40] <bobslaede> eck: i'll see what happens with wireshark in a minute, then maybe just save the tcpdump output to file, theres alot though
[11:41] <laughing_at_yo1> hdb1 would be my swap partition if i formatted the whole drive for swap right?
[11:41] <Lopi_> i would like to learn linux  by the talk in english on the skype rfor example. Any body wants to talk on skype?
[11:41] <soundray> Myrtti: I've had this problem that vlt was asking about. Can you explain how using luit ssh addresses it?
[11:41] <vlt> Myrtti: YES! luit worked immediately, without any other given options. Thank you again.
[11:43] <laughing_at_yo1> how would i unmount a drive?
[11:43] <soundray> Myrtti: okay, I've got it now
[11:43] <soundray> Myrtti: good tip, thanks from me too.
[11:43] <Myrtti> np :-)
[11:44] <laughing_at_yo1> would having such a large swap partition make my computer run slow? (it's 2gb)
[11:45] <soundray> laughing_at_yo1: no
[11:45] <Cryoniq> !sound > Cryoniq
[11:45] <laughing_at_yo1> hmmm...
[11:45] <sahil> I just installed Frostwire and KTorrent, but none of them have icons near them, just a white empty box
[11:46] <laughing_at_yo1> anyone know if gyach works on ubuntu?
[11:46] <awk_> hi, I have this problem with my soundcard (ac'97) and mixer.. if i want sound to be quiet, i have to turn down both master and pcm faders. i think the behaviour should be that when master is down, everything is quiet
[11:46] <praveer_fedora> laughing_at_yo1: gyach project seems abandoned
[11:46] <bobslaede> eck: ugh, i get some bad tcp, but nothing pop that i could find
[11:46] <laughing_at_yo1> i meant gyachi
[11:47] <Lopi_> how can i make java and flash in opera? i wrote this path /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.00/bin/i386/ in opera's java options but dont work it
[11:47] <insecure> how to do i run nmap to check which comp is down on my own network /intranet
[11:48] <MenZa> What's a good GTK+ front-end for GPG?
[11:48] <MenZa> I had one once, but I forget what it's called
[11:49] <praveer_fedora> laughing_at_yo1: gyachi is a fork of gyache it reports so even gyachi seems abandooned?

[12:00] <ubotu> TooR4u: 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)
[12:00] <TooR4u> okey
[12:01] <sahil> whois sahil
[12:02] <rezasyah> halo guys...
[12:02] <the_sultan> i have updated my source file from the ubuntuguide.org and i apt still cant find mplayer ;/
[12:03] <praveer_fedora> sahil: use whois <ur ip> on a shell like bash
[12:03] <soundray> the_sultan: after changing the sources.list, you should run 'sudo apt-get update'
[12:04] <sahil> whats a shell and a bash?
[12:04] <Thor> ha
[12:04] <sahil> and where can i get my ip?
[12:04] <the_sultan> soundray: i just did what does it do
[12:04] <Myrtti> sahil: your ip is 59.183.52.217
[12:05] <soundray> the_sultan: updates your local package database
[12:05] <sahil> How did you know that?
[12:05] <the_sultan> oh okay
[12:05] <eyequeue> sahil, /whois sahil    * [sahil]  (n=sahil@59.183.52.217): sahil
[12:05] <praveer_fedora> sahil: open gnome-terminal or xterm or konsole and type ifconfig for ur ip, then type whois <ur newly found ip> to get that info
[12:05] <the_sultan> soundray: thanks problem fixed
[12:05] <eyequeue> sahil, via irc, but you can see things there yourself with the "ifconfig" command, to see your interfaces
[12:06] <sahil> and how can someone else come to know my IP then?
[12:06] <afief> ndiswrapper doesn't run unless I type "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" whenever i start the PC. how can i automate this?
[12:06] <eyequeue> sahil, all of us on irc can see it via the "/whois sahil" irc command, type that yourself and try it and see
[12:07] <Ahmadinejad> http://alanhaggai.cvjcorp.com/?p=5
[12:07] <sahil> i typed in /whois eyequeue but it didnt give me your IP
[12:08] <admin0> hi .. anyone using macromedia dreamweaver or equivalent in ubuntu ?
[12:09] <eyequeue> sahil, no, there's some procedure listed on the freenode website that explains how you can get a "cloak" to have yours hidden as well, if you are interested in that
[12:09] <Juhaz> sahil, he's using a cloak, you are not
[12:09] <predaeus> How can I get GLSL highlighting in Anjuta 1.2.4a?
[12:09] <eyequeue> the first step is to have a registered nickname
[12:10] <sahil> is there any reason that someone would need a cloak?
[12:10] <eyequeue> !register
[12:10] <ubotu> Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[12:10] <eyequeue> there you go, and i suspect the cloak info is very on that faq page as well
[12:11] <Myrtti> sahil: well for one thing, some channels are extensively logged publicly
[12:11] <Myrtti> some consider it a security risk.
[12:12] <sahil> can you do anything to me after knowing my ip address
[12:12] <Myrtti> note: *some* channels, and *some* people
[12:12] <sahil> like hack into my computer and then steal all my info and blackmail me ?
[12:12] <CheshireViking> sahil, some people log in from different places on a regular basis, so to keep things consistent they use a cloak to avoid confusion with different ip addresses
[12:13] <sahil> why does the ip address even matter
[12:14] <eyequeue> sahil, in the "bad old days" of skriptkiddies and the like, there was a practice of launching attacks, such as DDoS attacks against other users if the ip address was public ... not cool, but yes, even linux is vulnerable to that, so it can be a consideration, especially if you attract "enemies" sigh
[12:14] <sahil> im just a normal ubuntu user, what do i do now?
[12:14] <Myrtti> I applied for a wikipedia cloak just for the knack of it
[12:15] <eyequeue> sahil, if you care about such, start at the url the bot mentioned (!register)
[12:15] <heroin> Hallo i wish to install beryl i already activated the extra desktop effects, so is that only XGL?
[12:15] <Cnl_Delta> hi how do i stop aptitude from doing a download ( i closed a window earlier but i think its downloading)
[12:15] <sahil> !register
[12:15] <ubotu> Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[12:15] <sahil> nothing happened
[12:16] <Myrtti> !register > sahil
[12:16] <eyequeue> sahil, watch for ubotu to say something in the channel, i think the bot may belagged a bit
[12:16] <Madpilot> sahil, read the URL that ubotu just posted
[12:16] <heroin> !botsnack
[12:16] <ubotu> Yum! Err, I mean, APT!
[12:16] <sahil> yeah there is a person called ubotu who sent me a message
[12:16] <sahil> who is he?
[12:16] <Myrtti> !bot > sahil
[12:16] <eyequeue> !ubotu
[12:16] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[12:17] <heroin> Sahil ubuntu is a robot
[12:17] <eyequeue> and while we're at it, anyone reading may now be interested in:
[12:17] <eyequeue> !cloak
[12:17] <ubotu> Tor & other common anonymizing proxies get abused to attack & spam Ubuntu channels, so they're blocked. Get a cloak from Freenode instead, and stop wasting your time with Tor: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks
[12:17] <sahil> a ROBOT! ?
[12:17] <heroin> yes..
[12:17] <sahil> This is what it said: Myrtti wants you to know: I am ubotu, all-knowing in
[12:17] <Myrtti> sahil: actually a program
[12:17] <Myrtti> that responds to our commands on some ubuntu IRC channels
[12:17] <Madpilot> sahil, ubotu is generally the more intelligent participant in this channel. And also a computer script. :)
[12:18] <sahil> are u a program?
[12:18] <heroin> Anyway iam running the extra desktop effects, does that mean i have beryl?
[12:18] <soundray> sahil: yes, your plastic pal who's fun to be with.
[12:18] <eyequeue> sahil, automated software, commonly used in here to help with technical support, and commonly-asked questions and their answers
[12:18] <soundray> :)
[12:18] <delire> heroin: nope
[12:18] <heroin> !ubotu beryl
[12:18] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[12:18] <scd> hi. can anyone help me about starting apps over the "layer" of beryl?
[12:18] <sahil> man i feel like something bad is happening to me
[12:18] <heroin> /leave
[12:18] <sahil> im going
[12:18] <eyequeue> hmmm
[12:19] <Myrtti> :-/
[12:19] <delire> the turing test
[12:19] <soundray> eyequeue: after all the friendly help and advice...
[12:19] <eyequeue> soundray, yeah, i don't think anyone was too terribly fear-mongering or anything, oh well
[12:19] <punkfreak> lo ubuntu gurus
[12:19] <delire> soundray: some people find the concept of a (conversational) software agent very unsettling.
[12:20] <TooR4u> it is possible to crack the password of *.rar file
[12:20] <punkfreak> got a quickie ... i need a tool that takes snapshots of html page and saves it to jpg
[12:20] <delire> others don't believe it, which was perhaps sahil's case.
[12:20] <TooR4u> I have downlaed a file of size 200mb
[12:20] <punkfreak> anyone any ideas;
[12:20] <TooR4u> now it is asking for password for extraction
[12:20] <soundray> delire: that's hard for me to imagine. But then I was raised by ELIZA ;)
[12:20] <TooR4u> what i have to do?
[12:20] <delire> punkfreak: html code or webpates?
[12:20] <delire> soundray: muarharhar
[12:20] <TooR4u> any software provides decoding mechanism?
[12:20] <eyequeue> i cn see being embarassed if you've had a long chat with it publically and not caught on, but "intimidating" isn't something i'd have thought
[12:21] <aliasd> so does feisty still have all that UUID crap in fstab and grub?
[12:21] <soundray> aliasd: use professional language please
[12:21] <soundray> !uuid > aliasd, read ubotu's message
[12:22] <aliasd> thanks soundray but it doesnt help when cloning a drive :)
[12:22] <TooR4u> any body can solve my problem?
[12:22] <delire> punkfreak: if just webpages: 'sudo apt-get install scrot; while true; do scrot -d 2'; done
[12:22] <delire> punkfreak: that will take snaps of any thing on the desktop every 2 seconds
[12:23] <soundray> aliasd: it does, if you consider the bit about blkid
[12:23] <eyequeue> oh cool, i've never seen the *rationale* for uuids before! (/msg ubotu uuid)
[12:23] <soundray> aliasd: btw, you can still use the old syntax, nothing forces you to be future-compliant.
[12:23] <Nalleman> shouldn't pidgin/gaim be upgraded automatically?
[12:23] <aliasd> soundray) i tried that, but it keeps on setting stuff back to uuid
[12:24] <soundray> aliasd: what is "it"?
[12:24] <aliasd> eyequeue) sorry, it doesnt provide a rationale
[12:24] <eyequeue> aliasd, it provides a url that contains it heh
[12:24] <aliasd> soundray) using traditional dev nodes in menu.lst and fstab
[12:24] <eyequeue> aliasd, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks
[12:25] <aliasd> sorry, umm it
[12:25] <aliasd> id ont know what it is
[12:25] <aliasd> cause if i knew it i would kill it
[12:25] <aliasd> it must be something in init
[12:25] <aliasd> actually no
[12:26] <eyequeue> it looks like that page was written prior to the edgy release
[12:26] <aliasd> kernel upgrades mabye?
[12:26] <voltagex> has anyone got the logitech cordless gamepad to work under ubuntu? I'm interested in using it to control MythTV
[12:26] <aliasd> and other upgrades
[12:27] <soundray> aliasd: look, just because you're used to old /dev/ nodes doesn't mean they're that great. Go read the pages that ubotu and eyequeue have linked you to, understand them and you will know what you need to do after you've cloned your disk.
[12:27] <eyequeue> aliasd, i wonder if it's any of the things that call update-initramfs, or whatever the command is called that kernel image packages have that in their postinst's ... a few other things have it too i recall
[12:27] <anotherpunk> Is there a setting in ubuntu to disable the pointer stick on my laptop?
[12:27] <aliasd> soundray) i do know what i need to do, it just turns a 5 minute job into a 30+ minute job
[12:27] <soundray> eyequeue: it's update-grub (aliasd)
[12:28] <soundray> aliasd: that's just nonsense.
[12:28] <aliasd> yea, well you try finding a decent boot cd when you need one :P
[12:29] <wkbode> Hello
[12:30] <kameron> what's a clean alarm clock program to use, fits with gnome nicely?
[12:30] <wkbode> I am a first time Linux user and have just installed Ubuntu on my work computer.
[12:30] <hsga>  how do i chance permission from root for a entire folder?
[12:30] <pyrohotdog> Just upgraded to 7.04, when enabling Desktop effects, I get no window decorations. All the effects work, but no decorations.
[12:30] <kameron> hsga, sudo -s
[12:30] <soundray> hsga: chown and chmod have -R switch
[12:30] <kameron> hsga, sorry i thought you said something else.
[12:31] <delire> pyrohotdog: you should diable and renable your restricted driver.
[12:31] <SlimeyPete> pyrohotdog: check that Emerald is installed.
[12:31] <delire> pyrohotdog: this worked for me.
[12:31] <pyrohotdog> delire: I'll give that a shot...
[12:31] <wkbode> Is it easy to connect to my work network?
[12:31] <pyrohotdog> Wait, where do I do that?
[12:31] <bobslaede> eck: sorry it took some time. nothing shows up when search for pop in wireshark
[12:32] <SlimeyPete> though... actually, does compiz use Emerald? Or is that just Beryl?
[12:32] <hsga> soundray, thanx
[12:32] <delire> pyrohotdog: system->administration->restricted driver manager
[12:32] <anotherpunk> Why does it say Ubuntu is using driver software that cannot be supported?
[12:33] <Joh1> Hi guys. I know it's probably gonna look lame, but I'm quite new to Ubuntu and I still have much to learn... Can anyone tell me where can I set default text encoding?
[12:33] <zsolty> hello, I requaire some help installing Ubuntu 7.04
[12:33] <thedonvaughn> anotherpunk: what is "it"? It is probably because you are using a restricted driver for nvidia or ati card.
[12:33] <pyrohotdog> zsolty: gksu "update-manager -c"
[12:34] <anotherpunk> that actually sounds head on, my dell has an ati card, can I update it?
[12:34] <delire> anotherpunk: system->administration->restricted driver manager
[12:34] <anotherpunk> thank you
[12:34] <kevkev832> is there a channel for server support?  i want to install LDAP and Squid proxy should i install LAMP then install squid and LDAP within it? how would i get the GUI for the server versus just the command prompt ? tq.
[12:34] <zsolty> pyrohotdog: I'm using the live cd
[12:34] <Cnl_Delta> hi how do i view/stop aptitude processes?
[12:34] <wkbode> Is anyone using Opera with Ubuntu?
[12:35] <Yayan> I use ubuntu on my NEC Versa laptop, but the sound doesn't work (no sound at all). How can I make the sound work properly?
[12:35] <bobslaede> Cnl_Delta: ps ax | grep aptitude
[12:35] <zsolty> pyrohotdog: my partiotions are all detected as sda, but in reality they are all hda-s :) what should I do ?
[12:35] <SolidasArocK> #join ubuntu.fr
[12:35] <soundray> wkbode: it should be easy to connect to any wired Ethernet.
[12:35] <simplexio> zsolty: nothing.. it works
[12:35] <pyrohotdog> ditto.
[12:35] <SolidasArocK> #ubuntu.fr
[12:35] <Cnl_Delta> k bobslaede, i can see the processes with that
[12:35] <delire> Cnl_Delta: ps ax | grep apt
[12:36] <delire> Cnl_Delta: alternatively see the system process monitor GUI
[12:36] <Nameeater> wkbode: yes
[12:36] <zsolty> all right, but in that section when I entered my username, it appears the crash report, I ' ll trie again
[12:36] <Cnl_Delta> is there a way i can manually stop them, i don't see the process running in the taskbar since i closed the window
[12:36] <wkbode> I am on the network using the internet right now, it is the windows drives in the server I would like to access.
[12:36] <Yayan> help me please, I use ubuntu on my NEC Versa laptop, but the sound doesn't work (no sound at all). How can I make the sound work properly?
[12:36] <delire> Cnl_Delta: system->administration->system monitor
[12:36] <bobslaede> Cnl_Delta: killall aptitude, og kill PID
[12:37] <wkbode> Nameeater is there any advantage over firefox?
[12:37] <bobslaede> or*
[12:37] <delire> Cnl_Delta: or yes, ps ax | grep apt'
[12:37] <Nameeater> wkbode: I prefer the way it does things
[12:37] <sldkfj> Pardon my french but we have a situation here:  Let's say a person uses Gnome as their desktop, they want to view screensavers in fullscreen and uses the "Preview" option to do so.  They click through various sundry screensaver presentations to have one in mind they would like to set and it comes time to go back to the main applet to designate that selection; BUT THE FREAKIN THING HANGS AND YOU HAVE TO HIT THE POWER BUTTON......
[12:37] <SolidasArocK> #join/kubuntu.fr
[12:37] <delire> Cnl_Delta: note the process number (PID) and 'sudo kill -9 PID'
[12:37] <Nameeater> wkbode: if your not sure which one you want to use, use each one for 2-3 days solid, then swap and use the other one, then decide
[12:37] <thoreauputic> Cnl_Delta: stopping aptitude processes might not be a good idea - it can bork the packaging system
[12:38] <bobslaede> sldkfj: ctrl+alt+backspace should restart the x server
[12:38] <soundray> wkbode: Places-Connect to Server, select Service type "Windows share"
[12:38] <Cnl_Delta> k killall worked
[12:38] <SolidasArocK> hi,plz how i can join french room ubuntu?
[12:38] <pyrohotdog> delire: I disabled the nvidia driver in restricted drivers, and it just finished uninstalling it. Now it says status "Needs restat". Should I restart before I reenable it?
[12:38] <bobslaede> Cnl_Delta: it your apt is borked, run apt-get -f install
[12:38] <delire> Cnl_Delta: see the GUI system monitor also.
[12:38] <soundray> !fr | SolidasArocK
[12:38] <ubotu> SolidasArocK: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[12:38] <Heavenquake> In Edgy, I can't get my sound working. The card is a C-Media CM8738. The module seems to be loaded, but no sound whatsoever
[12:38] <delire> pyrohotdog: perhaps best yes.
[12:38] <Cnl_Delta> i'm on kubuntu, not sure what the gui task monitor is
[12:38] <sldkfj> bobslaede, I never thought of that; if it works you're a pro
[12:38] <delire> pyrohotdog: this process might take two reboots unfortunately
[12:39] <SolidasArocK> :) great thx sioundray 'n ubotu :)
[12:39] <pyrohotdog> delire: worth it if it works. :)
[12:39] <delire> pyrohotdog: sure did here ;)
[12:39] <bobslaede> sldkfj: or just switch to a console, ctrl+alt+F(1-..)
[12:39] <delire> Cnl_Delta: oh.. i'm sure Kubuntu has something that'll do it.
[12:40] <sldkfj> bobslaede, ten-roger
[12:40] <bobslaede> Cnl_Delta: top
[12:40] <wkbode> thanks that worked great1
[12:40] <bullgard4> /usr/share/aspell/de-common.cwl.gz: Why doesn't function "detlef@MD97600:/usr/share/aspell$ sudo word-list-compress d de-common.cwl de-common.txt"? I returns "Usage: word-list-compress c[ompress] |d[ecompress] ".
[12:40] <sercik> Good day to all people
[12:41] <bullgard4> It
[12:41] <delire> bullgard4: because it's a gzipped file by the look of it.
[12:42] <bullgard4> delire: Before I applied I de-zipped.
[12:42] <delire> bullgard4: you might have better luck working with this dictionary file in #ubuntu-de by the way.
[12:42] <sercik> i have configured my system to start in text mode.. (init 3) and now i want to startx with the possibility to execute gnome, kde or xfce.. i remember of a file called .xinitrc in home directory
[12:42] <bullgard4> delire: Why?
[12:42] <sercik> but i don't know the command to start xfce...
[12:42] <delire> bullgard4: so do you have an /usr/share/aspell/de-common.cwl.gz or not?
[12:42] <kevkev832> anyone know how to take notifications of users join/leave, change nickname in GAIM IRC? tq.
[12:43] <delire> bullgard4: i think it may be trying to decompress it and failing, as it's already decompressed (by you)
[12:43] <delire> bullgard4: that or the gzipped file may no longer exist.
[12:43] <bullgard4> delire: I have one. But I have another file named  'de.contents'
[12:43] <sercik> NDPTAL85
[12:43] <mooky> what is the best technique to clean up the dpkg database. I've just removed postfix and exim packages from abox, and rebooted however dpkg -l still shows postfix as rc  postfix                                2.2.10-1ubuntu0.1
[12:43] <kevkev832> btw, i'm installing UBUNTU server and it asks if my computer system clock is set to UTC, Coordinated Universal Time,  how i know? what should i select? tq.
[12:44] <soundray> bullgard4: you have to direct the output into the .txt file with >
[12:44] <soundray> bullgard4: from the manpage: "word-list-compress d <wordlist.cwl >wordlist.txt"
[12:44] <thoreauputic> mooky: sudo spkg --purge postfix  or sudo aptitude purge postfix   etc
[12:44] <sercik> kevkev832 if you use other operating system it is better that you set no utc
[12:44] <bullgard4> soundray: I don't believe you. The man page does not request a > sign.
[12:44] <soundray> bullgard4: then you're on your own.
[12:44] <thoreauputic> mooky: sorry dpkg --purge (typo)
[12:45] <mooky> thoreauputic thank you, should that have not been done with "apt-get remove" or is it just lingering files such as a config file that shows dpkg -l to still list it
[12:45] <bullgard4> soundray: What does mean 'to be on my own'? Say it in other words, please.
[12:45] <soundray> bullgard4: I think the German word for your attitude is "unverschmt".
[12:45] <delire> mooky: man apt-get shows that the clean and --list-cleanup options are useful to these ends. i just ensure that i dpkg -P some.deb however
[12:45] <thoreauputic> mooky: apt-get remove leaves the config in place
[12:45] <mooky> thank you both
[12:46] <delire> mooky: clean however only clears out the /var/cache/apt/archives i believe
[12:46] <pyrohotdog> Why do I get an error every time I log in telling me that HAL failed to initialize?
[12:46] <thoreauputic> mooky: you can also do   apt-get --purge remove <package>
[12:46] <bullgard4> soundray: Well, asking questions is 'unverschmt'? Not so in an Ubuntu channel.
[12:46] <delire> mooky: (which isn't what you want)
[12:46] <mooky> again, thank you both
[12:46] <thoreauputic> delire: the "rc" is just residual config
[12:47] <sldkfj> Another thing: I loaded that ipkungfu iptables script and got about 6 statements that it wasn't loaded.  Does anyone know if those type scripts are necessary for Iptables to work?   I tried to gain some info about it in their channel but couldn't rouse anyone from their sleep.
[12:47] <soundray> bullgard4: no, saying "I don't believe you" when you've received perfectly sound advice is unverschmt.
[12:47] <delire> thoreauputic: yep. a purge should knock that out.
[12:47] <thoreauputic> delire: yes
[12:48] <sercik> sorry for repeat.. how can i start my X with xfce if i have installed gnome and xfce?
[12:48] <Myrtti> sercik: pick xfce at the gdm login
[12:48] <Myrtti> sercik: sessions
[12:48] <AutumnCat> ubotu: hello
[12:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hello - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:48] <thoreauputic> sercik:  I think you want " startxfce4"
[12:48] <bobslaede> pyrohotdog: i cant help you, but let me know i you figure it out, my box does that same thing
[12:48] <eltese> anyone who knows howto turn mouse acc off?
[12:49] <anotherpunk> why does it ask me to insert my ubuntu disc when I went to download some package files through synaptic?
[12:49] <sercik> ... but i dont' graphical boot
[12:49] <bobslaede> anotherpunk: your sources.list has your ubuntu cd as a repository
[12:49] <HotAsianGirlie> anotherpunk i would think cause it can get some files locally.
[12:50] <anotherpunk> so do I just pop in my live CD or my alt CD?
[12:50] <sercik> i need to insert startxfce4 in .xinitrc?
[12:50] <thoreauputic> sercik: I know - that command should startxfce4 - if not , use  startx `which startxfce4`  ( note the backticks)
[12:50] <bobslaede> anotherpunk: gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:50] <HotAsianGirlie> you use the cd that u used to install that OS. keep it default.
[12:50] <praveer_fedora> AutumnCat: hello
[12:50] <bobslaede> anotherpunk: your live cd probably, or edit sources.list
[12:50] <sldkfj> another, open the sources with..........  sudo nano /apt/sources.list ..........and  put a # on the left margin of the line with cd in it
[12:50] <pyrohotdog> bobslaede: will do.
[12:50] <anotherpunk> since i'm fresh to this, how do I edit sources.list?
[12:50] <thoreauputic> sercik: usually in Debian distros it would be ~/.xsession, but yes, that would work with startx too
[12:51] <rocky|away> what's the standard way to determine the currently running ubuntu version via shell ?
[12:51] <bobslaede> anotherpunk: gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:51] <thoreauputic> rocky|away: lsb_release -a
[12:51] <sldkfj> anotherpunk, open the sources with..........  sudo nano /apt/sources.list ..........and  put a # on the left margin of the line with cd in it
[12:51] <soundray> rocky|away: cat /etc/lsb-release
[12:51] <delire> anotherpunk: i think you're probably best to do it with the GUI. system->administration->software sources
[12:51] <delire> anotherpunk: only given that there's less option for error.
[12:51] <sercik> thoreauputic do you mean .xsession and not xinitrc?
[12:51] <sercik> .xinitrc?
[12:52] <rocky|away> thanks!
[12:52] <sldkfj> anotherpunk, typo.........  open the sources with..........  sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:52] <anotherpunk> well thanks delire, where do I go from there?
[12:52] <thoreauputic> sercik: either should work
[12:52] <anotherpunk> I don't know how to open a command line!
[12:52] <sercik> thank you!
[12:52] <bobslaede> anotherpunk: alt+f2
[12:52] <thoreauputic> sercik: .xsession is more usual in Ubuntu or Debian
[12:52] <HotAsianGirlie> Another punk, read the USER FRIENDLY UBUNTU Manual first.
[12:52] <bobslaede> anotherpunk: but, do as delire said
[12:52] <sldkfj> anotherpunk, open synaptic
[12:52] <sercik> sorry for repeat but i'm a bit confused.. i must create a file .xsession and i need to write inside startxfce4 i sright??
[12:53] <wkbode> :-D
[12:53] <anotherpunk> I have synaptic open.
[12:53] <anotherpunk> What now?
[12:53] <thoreauputic> sercik: you would need  " startxfce4" in that file, yes
[12:53] <HotAsianGirlie> anotherpunk if all else fails, try searching in the User manual for keywords. then try googling for "keywordGoesHere Ubuntu"
[12:53] <SolidasArocK> hey,i'm french have little question,any have instal the new package for dcgui(valknut0.3.9)
[12:53] <sercik> ok
[12:54] <SolidasArocK> source ther -->http://wxdcgui.sourceforge.net/
[12:54] <thoreauputic> sercik: check that command though - I don't have xfce4 installed here atm
[12:54] <sldkfj> anotherpunk, sorry, forget that ..... open the link above Synaptic .....  "Software Sources"
[12:54] <mooky> Is anyone using a web admin tool on postfix such as postfixadmin or myPFXAdmin on an ubuntu box
[12:54] <hsga> how do i chance permission from root to user for all the files in a folder? when I tried chmod -r I lost all access as normal user
[12:54] <sercik> i will check!
[12:54] <delire> anotherpunk: click on third-party software and see if you can see a reference to the CDROM in there. if so, click 'remove.
[12:54] <bobslaede> hsga: chmod -R XXXX folder
[12:54] <soundray> hsga: it's -R, not -r
[12:54] <mooky> or is there one officially package for ubuntu, I can't see anything in the repo to suggest so
[12:54] <thoreauputic> hsga:  sudo chown user:group foldername
[12:54] <sldkfj> anotherounk, that's where you need to be.... un-check the link in the window on that fist page
[12:54] <sercik> someone knows in debian which is the corrispective of /etc/inittab?
[12:55] <anotherpunk> 3rd Part Software doesn't have a thing in it :/
[12:55] <thoreauputic> hsga: sorry with the -R flag
[12:55] <sercik> in kubuntu that file doesn't exists
[12:55] <delire> anotherpunk: oh..  i no longer have an entry there as i removed mine a long time ago. for this reason i can't tell you what to look for.
[12:55] <delire> anotherpunk: follow sldkfj's lead
[12:55] <HotAsianGirlie> anyone know if i should install LAMP or just the default server if all i want to install is Squid and maybe LDAP? tq.
[12:55] <sldkfj> anotherpunk, that's where you need to be.... un-check the link in the window on that fist page   it will read  CD
[12:55] <sldkfj> anotherpunk, sorry, forget that ..... open the link above Synaptic .....  "Software Sources"
[12:56] <pyrohotdog> delire: worked like a charm. thank you. :)
[12:56] <thoreauputic> sercik: Ubuntu 7.04 no longer uses inittab
[12:56] <delire> pyrohotdog: cool ;)
[12:56] <anotherpunk> well I just unclicked the CD box
[12:56] <hsga> ok, thanx
[12:56] <sldkfj> anotherpunk, close it and try what you want with Synaptic
[12:56] <kevkev832> HotAsianGirlie, you're a little bit too advance for everyone here.  i dont even know what squid and ldap are.  goodluck.
[12:56] <delire> pyrohotdog: ubuntu needed to add a special line to your xorg.conf to get compiz working smoothly.
[12:56] <sercik> yes i know.. and when can i put the command init:3:initdefault ?? or which is the best way to start in text mode?
[12:57] <Sagi> cau
[12:57] <thoreauputic> sercik: Ubuntu/Debian does not use runlevel 3 as text mode
[12:57] <pyrohotdog> delire: no easier way than uninstalling the driver, restarting, installing the driver, and restarting again? Ha....
[12:57] <hsga> thoreauputic, group=user?
[12:57] <thoreauputic> hsga: normally yes
[12:57] <thoreauputic> hsga: depends on the directory
[12:58] <delire> pyrohotdog: you can edit the file directly and start X, but the danger is that Ubuntu (apt) will consider the config 'customised' and so won't upgrade it later.
[12:58] <anotherpunk> Thanks everyone, Synaptic is downloading flawlessly
[12:58] <heh> 7
[12:58] <sercik> so which is the best way to start system in multiuser console?
[12:58] <soundray> HotAsianGirlie: you don't need LAMP to run a squid proxy.
[12:58] <thoreauputic> sercik: try disabling kdm/gdm instead
[12:58] <sldkfj> anotherpunk, enjoy!
[12:58] <delire> pyrohotdog: sorry - "restart X"
[12:59] <pyrohotdog> delire: Oh well, said and done, and it worked.
[12:59] <thoreauputic> sercik: for example  echo "false" | sudo tee /etc/X11/default-display-manager
[12:59] <anotherpunk> I'm better off opening install files like the new firefox than saving them right?
[01:00] <sercik> thoreauputic interesting command you are a guru :)
[01:00] <thoreauputic> sercik: no, i just read a lot ;)
[01:01] <sercik> thoreauputic i though to remove a link in /etc/rc3.d to kdm what to you think about?
[01:01] <crusie> hi
[01:01] <sldkfj> anotherpunk, not sure what you mean
[01:01] <thoreauputic> sercik: why bother ? Anyway you would use update-rc.d for that
[01:01] <crusie> I need some help - I want to print out a guide to set up wine... only I can' seem to figure out how to install my printer
[01:01] <anotherpunk> I need help, I just downloaded Firefox 2 and it opened, do I extract or what?
[01:02] <SlimeyPete> why did you download it? It comes with Ubuntu....
[01:02] <thoreauputic> sercik: remember that runlevel 3 is not used in Ubuntu unless you configure it
[01:02] <sldkfj> anotherpunk, it's installed, close synaptic and hit the firefox link
[01:02] <crusie> I'm trying to... but can't select USB as the port.. it only has lpt and serial and com
[01:02] <anotherpunk> but I want the newer version of firefox
[01:02] <sercik> in ubuntu is used 5.. right?
[01:02] <sldkfj> anotherpunk, the firefox link in the menu
[01:02] <ziroday> anotherpunk: its the newest
[01:02] <kevkev832> I've installed LAMP, anyone know what is the root username and password?  cause im at the login command prompt and its asking for login.  tq.
[01:02] <delire> anotherpunk: typically in Linux you don't go to websites to download and install software. it's all done using a desktop interface called 'Synaptic'.
[01:02] <delire> anotherpunk: anyway, you are running the new version of Firefox.
[01:02] <thoreauputic> sercik: no, runlevel 2 is both X and non-X
[01:02] <pyrohotdog> How come even though I'm using Beryl, it's still using the gnome theme? Selecting one in emarald does nothing.
[01:02] <sldkfj> anotherpunk, that's the update
[01:02] <anathematic> hey i just downloaded ubuntu 7 client from the website, i can just load it in damon tools and copy it to another cd right? I don't need to make it a boot-able or anything =\?
[01:03] <anotherpunk> oh alright thanks guys
[01:03] <sldkfj> anotherpunk, you have just updated it
[01:03] <sldkfj> you have the new version
[01:03] <ziroday> !install | anathematic
[01:03] <ubotu> anathematic: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - See also !automate
[01:03] <spikeb> hmm
[01:03] <delire> pyrohotdog: i don't think you are using Beryl. if you're using the 'desktop effects' that's just compiz.
[01:03] <SlimeyPete> anathematic: you mean you downloaded the ISO? In which case you do need to make it bootable, yes - you're best off using a CD burning tool to burn the ISO
[01:03] <clement> bonjour, y a t'il des personnes parlant francais dans l'assistance
[01:03] <thoreauputic> sercik: those runlevel games are Red Hat etc - Debian does not use runlevels for this
[01:03] <thoreauputic> !fr
[01:03] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[01:03] <kevkev832> How can I install the GUI for server? i am in the command prompt thankyou.
[01:03] <anathematic> SlimeyPete:  yeah i just downlaoded the iso
[01:03] <clement> merci
[01:03] <spikeb> anathematic: what you're copying is bootable so i dunno. try both ways :)
[01:04] <bobslaede> kevkev832: apt-get install gnome-desktop
[01:04] <anathematic> haha well i've had a funny problem
[01:04] <anathematic> with it
[01:04] <SlimeyPete> anathematic: if you burn the ISO it'll be bootable - if you just copy the filesout from it onto a CD then you'll need to manually make the thing bootable
[01:04] <ziroday> kevkev832: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[01:04] <sercik> thoreauputic is strange for me. i though that linux usued runlevels and not redhat...
[01:04] <pyrohotdog> The beryl-settings manager --> select window manager says Beryl.
[01:04] <sldkfj> anotherpunk, you can check to be sure with  Help / About
[01:04] <anathematic> SlimeyPete:  okay i think that's what i was doing wrong thank you
[01:04] <anathematic> we'll find out in 5 mins :D
[01:04] <jscinoz> hey everyone
[01:04] <crusie> I got this printer called brotehr hl 1440.. I'd like it installed can anyone help me ?
[01:04] <Arry> I can't get my sound to work properly......it's too quiet, I've trid installing the lattest alsa stuff, but still no joy, can anyone help me?
[01:04] <thoreauputic> kevkev832: by default the server version has no GUI  - you can install ubuntu-desktop if you wish
[01:04] <anotherpunk> Thanks sldkfj, it is updated, I love the ease of use of Ubuntu.
[01:04] <anotherpunk> Any recommendations as far as downloads?
[01:05] <sldkfj> anotherpunk, and verify the version number
[01:05] <ziroday> crusie: System > Adminstration > Printing
[01:05] <jscinoz> Has anyone here ever used a program called "GPRS easy connect"
[01:05] <delire> pyrohotdog: ahah, so you are running Beryl. i understand. i think you're best asking in #ubuntu-effects (i think it's called) about that.
[01:05] <thoreauputic> sercik: distros vary - for instance Slackware used to use runlevel 4 for X
[01:05] <thoreauputic> sercik: don't know what it uses these days..
[01:05] <pyrohotdog> delire: thanks, will do.
[01:05] <ziroday> Arry: have you checked ALL volume levels (PCM)
[01:05] <crusie> ziroday: I've tried that, but it doesn't detect the printer and I can't select USB as the port
[01:05] <sercik> if i have understtod... ir ubuntu doesn't use runlevels.... the best way is to run chkconfig and remove kdm or gdm...
[01:05] <rique_> hello, pals
[01:05] <rique_> i have a small trouble...
[01:06] <sldkfj> anotherpunk, what downloads? oh, you wnat to install more..... uhh, nah, just look forward to using synaptic again I guess
[01:06] <ziroday> crusie: brother are a pain (like lexmark) look in synaptic for any brother drivers and google your model
[01:06] <delire> sercik: probably update-rc.d remove no?
[01:06] <thoreauputic> sercik: no chkconfig in Ubuntu or Debian - have a look at  man update-rc.d
[01:06] <sldkfj> anotherpunk, well thee is something, have you installed Beryl?
[01:06] <sercik> i have never used update-rc.d
[01:06] <rique_> I installed Debian. Before I was running Ubuntu. The system was working, but slowly. In Debian I installed madwifi drivers... and my hardware now is recognized...  But i only have internet access when using the wired card. What could I do?
[01:06] <anotherpunk> Nope, what is Beryl?
[01:06] <crusie> is synaptic installed in a fresh install or is it something I have to download on the side?
[01:06] <delire> sercik: sudo update-rc.d remove programname
[01:07] <dv5237> hi, i just installed evilwm but i cant choose from gdm when im booting
[01:07] <thoreauputic> sercik: well, that's the tool you probably need
[01:07] <delire> sercik: but be carefeul..
[01:07] <sldkfj> anotherpunk, a window manager
[01:07] <ziroday> crusie: its installed by default
[01:07] <sldkfj> pretty slick
[01:07] <sercik> ah i undersood
[01:07] <anotherpunk> alright let me go dig for it
[01:07] <crusie> ziroday: where would I find this program? through the terminal ?
[01:07] <thoreauputic> sercik: sounds like you have never used a Debian based distro, right? :-)
[01:07] <sldkfj> anotherpunk, anotherpunk, go into #Beryl and ask coz_ to help you, it involves a graphics driver update  (you do have nvidia I pray)
[01:08] <ziroday> crusie: System > Administration > Synaptic
[01:08] <sercik> so i need to sudo update-rc.d remove gdm or kdm
[01:08] <delire> sercik: that's the way i'd do it, yes
[01:08] <sldkfj> anotherpunk, it's all over youtube
[01:08] <crusie> ah yes
[01:08] <thoreauputic> sercik: yes - or use the command I gave you a while back
[01:08] <anotherpunk> I am 50% sure I do, but then again, who knows what Dell packs into their computers these days.
[01:08] <sercik> i have used red-hat and then fedora but now i think that ubuntu is better
[01:08] <anotherpunk> look for beryl on youtube, what?
[01:08] <shane_> Anyone here good with ubuntu linux?
[01:09] <sldkfj> anotherpunk, view some flash files there to see what Beryl's about
[01:09] <ziroday> shane_: everyone
[01:09] <thoreauputic> sercik: Red Hat and Fedora use the commands and runlevels the way you were thinking before - Ubuntu and Debian are different :)
[01:09] <sercik> expecially dapper.. fedora is slow and then the ubuntu community is very good
[01:09] <anotherpunk> alright i'll be back
[01:09] <delire> anotherpunk: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6kd42jIaHk
[01:09] <kevkev832> well i did : sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop, with my ubuntu server in the cdrom drive, then it says "reading package lists... Done, Building dependency tree.. Done.. . E: Couldn't find package gnome-desktop.  am i suppose to use the ubuntu regular installation cd instead of the Server?
[01:09] <thoreauputic> shane_: no, we are all useless ;p
[01:09] <ziroday> kevkev832: its ubuntu-desktop
[01:09] <shane_> Alright. Basically For some reason when GAIM signs in it exits, and when I do something on Mozilla it randomly exits too
[01:09] <sldkfj> anotherpunk, okie doke
[01:09] <kevkev832> okay duh..thanks!
[01:10] <shane_> I need help because mozilla crashes every time I open an emial
[01:10] <sercik> i have tried kubuntu 7.04 but is slow and buggy..
[01:10] <ziroday> kevkev832: np
[01:10] <shane_> email*
[01:10] <anotherpunk> Beryl looks amazing, reminds me of Vista.
[01:10] <shane_> I'm running Ubuntu 5.10 Breezy Badger
[01:10] <ziroday> anotherpunk: beryl owns vista hands down
[01:10] <sercik> shane_ upgrade to dapper is the best
[01:10] <shane_> Upgrading isn't an option
[01:10] <anotherpunk> no doubt there, but what's this about an upgrade?
[01:10] <mooky> this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixCompleteVirtualMailSystemHowto is recommending the install and use of webmin, surly this is against the ubuntu reconnemendations, should this be allowed in the wiki ?
[01:10] <anotherpunk> to my driverf?
[01:10] <shane_> My mozilla crashes when I try to download anything -.-
[01:11] <ziroday> anotherpunk: go to www.beryl-project.org for info or you can try #beryl also on freenode for more info regarding beryl
[01:11] <thoreauputic> shane_: why is upgrading not an option?
[01:11] <sldkfj> anotherpunk, do you use an nvidia graphics darc?
[01:11] <sldkfj> card
[01:11] <shane_> I told you, my mozilla crashes when I try to down load anything
[01:11] <anotherpunk> How can I find out if I do?
[01:11] <shane_> Plus I don't have a CD drive
[01:11] <delire> shane_: sounds like mozilla-firefox itself is broken. i'd back up your bookmarks and remove the user configuration directory.
[01:11] <sercik> shane_ in fact i think you can update if you want
[01:11] <thoreauputic> shane_:  use wget to d/l an iso :)
[01:11] <sldkfj> anotherpunk, hold on
[01:11] <aventin> Hmm, okey, I'm almost done nigrating to ubuntu (yeah!), but i still have an outlook 800 Mb outlook .pst-file that i need to convert to another mail program (evolution or thunderbird?). Any ideas on how to do it?
[01:11] <leperkhanz> How do I solve this error: W: Failed to fetch http://apt.schmidtke-hb.de/dists/feisty/main/binary-i386/gnome/pidgin_2.0.0-schmidtke1_i386.deb
[01:11] <leperkhanz>   404 Not Found
[01:12] <ziroday> shane_: you can use update manager
[01:12] <anotherpunk> kay, thanks for the help.
[01:12] <christine_> i have copied the content of my dvd. how do i play it in my HD?
[01:12] <shane_> How do I use update manager? I've just migrated from Windows and have no idea how to use linux!
[01:12] <sldkfj> anotherpunk, go to the menu... system    preferences   Hardware Informantion
[01:12] <ziroday> leperkhanz: do sudo apt-get update if you get the same error the files not there
[01:12] <bobslaede> christine_: you can make an image of your dvd, and play that
[01:12] <shane_> I got told ubuntu was the most user friendly OS there!
[01:12] <sldkfj> anotherpunk, look for your graphics card
[01:12] <sercik> if you have already installe dlinux you can format and reinstall ubuntu dapper
[01:12] <leperkhanz> shane_: It is.
[01:13] <CheshireViking> shane_, normally update manager will tell you when there are updates needed, if there are, there's normally an icon  appears in the top right of the screen to let you know, if it does, just click on the icon
[01:13] <shane_> It's not being friendly to me :(
[01:13] <anotherpunk> looking...
[01:13] <ziroday> !upgrade | shane_
[01:13] <ubotu> shane_: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[01:13] <shane_> Oh right no, Breezy badger is no longer supported
[01:13] <sercik> ubuntu is the best because many people help users
[01:13] <sldkfj> anotherpunk, is there anything there like....  GeForce
[01:13] <leperkhanz> shane_: Updates will show up automatically as a white asterisk in an orange box.  tehn you can right click it, install updates.
[01:13] <christine_> bobslaede: what do you mean? its the copying the content not enough?
[01:14] <bobslaede> christine_: no, that probably wont work
[01:14] <shane_> I had 223 updates when I installed the OS, but version 5.10 is no longer supported
[01:14] <kevkev832> it looks like my LAMP server is downloading to install the UBUNTU-DESKTOP, it says need to get 394MB/449MB of archives. does that mean it will download that much?? that can take forever.  so i can't just stick a regular UBUNTU regular installation cd and expect it to pull the ubuntu-desktop files from there??/ tq.
[01:14] <sercik> i think the most user friendly ismandrica or pclinuxos
[01:14] <CheshireViking> shane_, sorry, i didn't see that you used 5.10
[01:14] <shane_> I just need a way to fix GAIM and Firefox randomly exiting
[01:14] <anotherpunk> I don't see anything definitive yet.
[01:14] <anotherpunk> hang on a sec
[01:14] <sercik> mandriva sorry
[01:14] <christine_> bobslaede: what shall i used to make an image of  my dvd?
[01:14] <delire> christine_: just play it from the DVD. you could possible just point mplayer to the files. that may work: 'mplayer -zoom /path/to/the/copy'
[01:14] <sldkfj> hangin
[01:14] <ziroday> shane_: do alt-f2 then type this in "gksudo update-manager -d"
[01:15] <ziroday> shane_: no quotes
[01:15] <thoreauputic> kevkev832: the alternate CD can be used as a repository - sounds like you chose the wrong CD to install from
[01:15] <sldkfj> anotherpunk, I think it is time to open a terminal
[01:15] <sercik> in ubuntu proprietary software are not incuded so you need to install it before
[01:15] <shane_> New distribution 6.06 LTS is available
[01:15] <bobslaede> christine_: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=file.iso bs=1024
[01:15] <bobslaede> christine_: while NOT mounted
[01:15] <ziroday> shane_: click it and it will upgrade
[01:15] <phy2> kevkev832 -- I tried that couple days ago, never figured it out
[01:15] <shane_> Is it as easy as just upgrading or do I need to burn it to disk?
[01:15] <delire> shane_: click on that button.
[01:15] <sercik> !multimedia
[01:15] <ubotu> Ubuntu 7.04 installs multimedia codecs automatically. For older versions of Ubuntu, or if you can't use the automatic installer, see https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - For multimedia applications, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaApplications
[01:15] <ziroday> shane_: thats it
[01:15] <anotherpunk> well walk me through it, i'm excited
[01:15] <ziroday> shane_: just click
[01:15] <shane_> cool bananas
[01:15] <shane_> I love you guys :)
[01:15] <sldkfj> anotherpink,    menu entry......     Applications    Accessories   Terminal
[01:15] <anotherpunk> by the way, I have an ATI card
[01:15] <christine_> delire: yes i have tried that. there are mpeg video but i menu will not work.
[01:16] <ziroday> anotherpunk: youre f*****
[01:16] <bobslaede> christine_: i dont think menus work in mplayer at all
[01:16] <anotherpunk> damn, forreal?
[01:16] <bobslaede> christine_: try gxine
[01:16] <shane_> Any hints on how to install programs from the source code though? Like what do I do when I get a tarball
[01:16] <anotherpunk> my terminal is open
[01:16] <shane_> like tar.g2
[01:16] <sldkfj> anotherpunk,    and cut and paste this into it and hit enter...........    lspci | grep -i vga
[01:16] <ziroday> anotherpunk: no but theyre a royal pain
[01:16] <delire> anotherpunk: you're out of luck... i am too on one machine.
[01:16] <thoreauputic> !docs > shane_
[01:16] <leperkhanz> Yeah, ATI is anti freedom.  There are a number of problems.
[01:16] <ziroday> ATI SUCKS
[01:16] <thoreauputic> shane_: normally you don't need to compile
[01:17] <sercik> shane_ if you are new to linux compiling is not a simple operation
[01:17] <anotherpunk> copy and paste lmao, i'm on two different computers here, ubuntu is sitting on my lap but i'll type it over
[01:17] <m_0_r_0_n> I cant find the package for the ati opensource driver. What s the name of the package?
[01:17] <delire> shane_: ATI folk write terrible drivers and don't want to support Linux kernel developers to help write them.
[01:17] <EmxBA> does beryl work with ATI?
[01:17] <sldkfj> anotherpunk, ok, I thought you were on it.
[01:17] <sercik> but if you are lucky.... to compile a program you need to extract source from archive..
[01:17] <anotherpunk> yep, a radeon mobility card
[01:17] <shane_> I want to get into linux! lol
[01:17] <ziroday> EmxBA: yeah (just)
[01:17] <sldkfj> EmxBA, ati is sketchy
[01:17] <christine_> ok i will try gxine
[01:17] <shane_> I'll be back when I've installed 6.06 :)
[01:18] <sldkfj> iffy
[01:18] <thoreauputic> EmxBA: depends - it works with some cards with the open source driver
[01:18] <ziroday> shane_: have fun
[01:18] <anotherpunk> if I wanted to run irc on my ubuntu laptop, how would I do it?
[01:18] <sercik> to extract a .gz you need tar -xvzf filename.tar.gz
[01:18] <delire> shane_: cool see you soon
[01:18] <ziroday> anotherpunk: gaim
[01:18] <sldkfj> load xchat
[01:18] <scriptdevil> hey.. does anybody know the package name for wxruby?
[01:18] <sldkfj> like you did in synaptic
[01:18] <sercik> shane_ to extract a .bz2 you need tar -xvjf nomefile.bz2
[01:18] <sldkfj> plug a cord into the laptop
[01:18] <anotherpunk> kay let me go see
[01:18] <sldkfj> and give it a go
[01:19] <sldkfj> anotherpunk, and then join #Beryl
[01:19] <leperkhanz> yeah, or #ubuntu-effects
[01:19] <scriptdevil> sercik: that isnt a general statement.. bunzip is enough to unzip a .bz2.. you need tar only for .tar.bz2
[01:19] <sldkfj> leperkhanz, yeah
[01:19] <EmxBA> I have X1600 and it didn't work...
[01:19] <EmxBA> just getting mesa
[01:19] <sercik> shane_ then you need to do in directory extracted ./configure && make && make install
[01:19] <EmxBA> and I've checked everything three times
[01:19] <ziroday> EmxBA: you tried the open source driver?
[01:20] <ziroday> sercik: shane is upgrading to dapper
[01:20] <sercik> scriptdevil you are right and not right...
[01:20] <EmxBA> no
[01:20] <EmxBA> I've been trying 'ati' and 'fglrx', ziroday
[01:20] <Betazoid> fuck
[01:20] <Betazoid> they are real people
[01:20] <sercik> i'm happy for shane
[01:20] <Betazoid> hey Feldegast
[01:20] <Betazoid> hey felipe
[01:20] <ziroday> EmxBA: have you tried envy?
[01:20] <thoreauputic> !language | Betazoid
[01:20] <ubotu> Betazoid: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[01:20] <agentnewb> hmm yesterday I was complaining about not being able to use md5sum and now some other application is saying it can't find md5sum even though its checking where it is installed. Is there something wrong with xubuntu when it comes to that basic app?
[01:21] <Betazoid> sorry duede
[01:21] <EmxBA> ziroday: yes, it works for nvidia but doesn't work for ati :)
[01:21] <m_0_r_0_n> Is "ati" the open source driver for ati graphic cards?
[01:21] <anotherpunk> can someone walk me through connecting to irc really quick?
[01:21] <agentnewb> anotherpunk: connecting to irc with what? like telnet or something?
[01:21] <thoreauputic> m_0_r_0_n: yes - or radeon
[01:21] <anotherpunk> no i plan on using gaim
[01:21] <scriptdevil> anotherpunk: get irssi
[01:21] <EmxBA> anotherpunk: install xchat (sudo apt-get install xchat), then run xchat, it's way too simple
[01:21] <bobslaede> agentnewb: ssh and irssi
[01:22] <anotherpunk> okay sounds easy
[01:22] <scriptdevil> anotherpunk: type /server irc.freenode.net
[01:22] <ziroday> EmxBA: the latest? and yeah i tried it on a ati comp and it had a fit :p but radeon works okay have you tried adding the other options?
[01:22] <agentnewb> bobslaede: what about it?
[01:22] <aventin> Newbie question:  I'm almost done migrating to ubuntu (yeah!), but i still have an outlook 800 Mb outlook .pst-file that i need to convert to another mail program (evolution or thunderbird?). Any ideas on how to do it?
[01:22] <scriptdevil> anotherpunk: then type /join #ubuntu or some stuff
[01:22] <hsga> i tried chmod -R  "folder" but  what mode do I use if I want full access with the user?
[01:22] <sldkfj> anotherpunk, do what Emx8A said
[01:22] <bobslaede> agentnewb: missed that it was anotherpunk :P
[01:22] <EmxBA> OK, i'll try some... ziroday
[01:22] <ziroday> EmxBA: gd luck
[01:22] <EmxBA> :)
[01:22] <agentnewb> bobslaede: which one?
[01:23] <thoreauputic> hsga:  the full command would be   chown -R user:group folder
[01:23] <sldkfj> anotherpunk, plug the cord into the laptop and install xchat with his command
[01:23] <anotherpunk> I just typed this into the terminal:  (sudo apt-get install xchat)
[01:23] <anotherpunk> and it asked me for a password but it wouldn't let me type
[01:23] <bobslaede> agentnewb: the irc thing i think
[01:23] <sldkfj> without parenthesis
[01:23] <anotherpunk> I did
[01:23] <sldkfj> hit it
[01:23] <jrib> anotherpunk: you are typing but you do not see it
[01:23] <sldkfj> it will ask for the password
[01:24] <kevkev832> well i'm install server again, this time not the LAMP, it asks for Choose your Location, so i'm in asia now but i'm from the US, so if i put down an asian country am i going to get screwed with the language being something else but English, and if i choose the US then would it put area codes and settings that would not be of Asia?  Which one should i choose Asia or US? tq.
[01:24] <thoreauputic> anotherpunk: you don't see the pasword when you type
[01:24] <thoreauputic> anotherpunk: in case someone is watching :)
[01:24] <anotherpunk> okay so what is the password? this is all so confusing!
[01:24] <bobslaede> Gerro: you shouldn't connect as root
[01:24] <thoreauputic> anotherpunk: the one for the user who installed the OS
[01:24] <ziroday> kevkev832: go asia and select singapore they only speak englisj
[01:24] <Frizz0> hello

[01:25] <anotherpunk> oh NOW it works haha
[01:25] <sldkfj> what you use to log in
[01:25] <TheUni9> you tell me
[01:25] <Frizz0> tell me
[01:25] <thoreauputic> !sudo | anotherpunk
[01:25] <ubotu> anotherpunk: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[01:25] <gnudo> can anyone recommend me a  tv-tuner card for a *laptop* that works with GNU/Linux out of the box for less than 70 dollars(60 euros)??
[01:25] <sldkfj> your userpassword
[01:25] <thoreauputic> hsga: what folder is it?
[01:25] <Gruelius> if my spooler on Vista was crashing when i tried to access cups shared printers in gentoo, am i equally screwed for ubuntu?
[01:25] <ziroday> gnudo: i think god has one

[01:26] <sldkfj> anotherpunk, I guess we know who's gonna party tonight!
 God? do you mean out Patron Saint?
[01:26] <thoreauputic> hsga: why are you messing with permissions when you don't understand them ? :-)

[01:26] <sldkfj> Linux is nothing to be scared over
[01:26] <ziroday> gnudo: whichever one u agree with. you might wanna try linux certified
[01:26] <anotherpunk> definitely! red hat turned me off linux before, the installation was pretty terrible and confusing
[01:26] <CheshireViking> gnudo, i've got an old Hauppauge tv tuner, must be at least 5 years old (not sure what model though) which worked out of the box
[01:27] <DarkPriest> i did that....i ran the scan modem.gz then installed the drivers....still it refuses to connect....any ideas?
[01:27] <crusie> I've tried to install my printer but I get this error Cannot read file /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/printer/Brother.xml!
[01:27] <sldkfj> anotherpunk, I gotta go so talk to adamk or crdlb in either #Beryl or #Ubuntu-effects or coz_ in #Beryl
[01:27] <kevkev832> if my ubuntu crashed can i stick the harddrive into a windows machine or another buntu machine and have it come up as a 2nd drive and pull data files from there? tq.
[01:27] <hsga> thoreauputic, home\"user"\........
[01:27] <anotherpunk> alright later!
[01:27] <Neocicak> hello.. just wondering if this is a known issue: when I enabled the 'desktop effects' sometimes the windows cant be minimized/maximized/resized ... clicking on the minimize/maximize/close window button simply defocus the window
[01:27] <anotherpunk> thanks for the help
[01:27] <thoreauputic> hsga: then group=user
[01:27] <Gerro> gnudo: www.thefunny.org/easter.php :P
[01:27] <ziroday> gnudo: my hauppage worked out the box to but its ona desktop
[01:27] <spikeb> Neocicak: yeah it should be known. seems fairly common.
[01:28] <thoreauputic> hsga: for instance   chown -R hsga:hsga /home/hsga
[01:28] <anotherpunk> i'm in :)
[01:28] <sldkfj> great
[01:28] <sldkfj> later
[01:28] <anotherpunk> later
[01:28] <Neocicak> spikeb: what did you do when that happen?? it is quite annoying.. i cant even move the window.. it would cause the window to lose focus
[01:28] <CheshireViking> gnudo, didn't spot you were asking about laptops, mine was a desktop as well
[01:28] <thoreauputic> hsga: you will probably need sudo prepended
[01:28] <ziroday> Neocicak: its compiz disable the effects nad download and use beryl
[01:28] <spikeb> Neocicak: alt-tab to pick a window
[01:28] <hsga> thoreauputic, thanx
[01:28] <spikeb> Neocicak: or i turned the effects off and back on
[01:28] <mr_cha0s> can someone tell me what kind of process i have to go through to submit a .deb package? or somewhere i could read?
[01:28] <ziroday> Neocicak: no fix has been found only workarounds :p
[01:29] <shane_> Well, 752 out of 1020 files downloaded
[01:29] <shane_> 2 minutes remaining
[01:29] <jrib> !packaging > mr_cha0s (see the private message from ubotu)
[01:29] <Neocicak> ziroday: i think i'm using beryl...
[01:29] <pfelicity> exs: did you ever find the rss desktop tool you were looking for?
[01:29] <IdleOne> mr_cha0s, #ubuntu-dev is a good place to start
[01:29] <ziroday> shane_: it may take a while ;)
[01:29] <ziroday> Neocicak: not if youre using desktop effects thats compiz
[01:29] <mr_cha0s> thanks
[01:29] <kevkev832> anyone know of Ubuntu or Linux that does routing of NAT network address translation comparable to Mikrotik brand?  tq.
[01:29] <shane_> how do I whisper?
[01:29] <koala_man> is netinstall to a usb disk likely to work?
[01:30] <Neocicak> ziroday: ah ok... so what should i do so that it is beryl that will be started automatically instead of compiz (i already have beryl installed)
[01:30] <thoreauputic> kevkev832: that is done with iptables ( no idea what Mikrotik is)
 Jesus? No way! Saint Ignucius is our Patron Saint! Blessings be upon him!
[01:30] <ziroday> Neocicak: disable desktop effects and in System > Preferencs >Session
[01:30] <thoreauputic> kevkev832: I suggest you need to do some reading about Linux ")
[01:31] <shane_> I don't understand linux. On windows the sound came out of my speaker distorted and echoing, I was told it was my motherboard damaged. On linux the sound comes out perfect
[01:31] <spikeb> hah
[01:31] <spikeb> that's great though
[01:32] <kevkev832> thanks. www.mikrotik.com probably the most confusing routerOS to use for Network Address Translation, however its router embedded boards are cheap. tq.
[01:32] <Neocicak> ziroday: add a new startup program ? (beryl) ?
[01:32] <ziroday> shane_: thats cause the comp ppl where wrong and so they made it up basically they have no idea (i do it a ll the time)
[01:32] <spikeb> haha
[01:32] <ziroday> Neocicak: yeah "beryl-manager"
[01:32] <spikeb> ziroday: many "professionals" do that :)
[01:32] <christine_> how can i play a dvd that i have copied to my hard disk with dvd menu?
[01:32] <Neocicak> ziroday: ok.. thx!
[01:32] <thoreauputic> kevkev832: any Linux can do routing and NAT ( that's what iptables are for, among other things like firewalling)
[01:33] <CheshireViking> shane_, if you paid somebody to check it in Windows, you should ask them for your money back
[01:33] <ziroday> spikeb: its diagnosing at its best i like the hairline fracture excuse the best
[01:33] <thoreauputic> kevkev832: have you read the Ubuntu server guide?
[01:33] <spikeb> ziroday: hehe
[01:33] <shane_> ziroday: You should have heard the guy on the phone when I called up BT about an alternative way to check my emails
[01:33] <ziroday> shane_: soz im not from america whos BT?
[01:33] <Neocicak> ziroday: now.. if this failed (touch wood!!!) and i need to edit the setting from command line.. where would i do that?
[01:33] <shane_> Ziroday: He said, which version of windows are you using? Is said Linux, he said, is that XP
[01:34] <thoreauputic> kevkev832:  http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/index.html
[01:34] <ziroday> Neocicak: it wont fail
[01:34] <shane_> ziroday: bt is my ISP, British Telecom
[01:34] <mm2000> hello, is it easy to upgrade from drake to fawn?
[01:34] <ziroday> shane_: LOL thats pretty good
[01:34] <IdleOne> !upgrade | mm2000
[01:34] <ubotu> mm2000: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[01:34] <ziroday> mm2000: you have to go thru edgy first
[01:34] <vega-> hmm, why does ubuntu-desktop depend on xsane? cannot remove the package even though i don't have a scanner
[01:34] <Neocicak> ziroday: where.. say it does... isnt there a config file that i can edit, to erase that 'start up beryl on startup' ?
[01:34] <sdf> hi all
[01:35] <mm2000> ziroday: and how do i upgrade to edgy?
[01:35] <ziroday> Neocicak: dunno sorry it will work though dun wory
[01:35] <IdleOne> vega-, you can safely remove ubuntu-desktop it is just a metapackage
[01:35] <thoreauputic> vega-: you can remove ubuntu-desktop - it is only a metapackage
[01:35] <kevkev832> thoreauputic, i read somewhat. let me go read it completely.  Mikrotik is the industry leader, it also create hotspots and used for long range wireless for factories and also for up to 10-30 km wireless using long range Access points.  i've been trying to figure out for months now. its so mysterious.  I also thought of just using a Linux NAT since i'll be using squid too. Thanks for the link.
[01:35] <ziroday> mm2000: gksudo update-manager -d
[01:35] <sdf> i want strong antivirus
[01:35] <Neocicak> ok.... i'll try to logout & login
[01:35] <sdf> what is called ??
[01:35] <erpo> mm2000: The simplest method is to use update-manager. However, I have never heard of anyone getting a 100% working system out of that.
[01:35] <thoreauputic> kevkev832: you're welcome :) Linux is different... ;-)
[01:36] <ziroday> erpo: only if youre using non ubunut repos or gfx card drivers (basically everyone)
[01:36] <vega-> IdleOne: thoreauputic: hmm ok, but does it affect my next distro-upgrade?
[01:36] <IdleOne> vega-, possibly could yes
[01:36] <shane_> The Downloading and install the upgrades has shot from 2 hours 14 minutes to 1 hours 30 minutes in the space of 45 seconds.
[01:36] <mm2000> erpo: so you suggest to do a fresh install then?
[01:36] <sdf> i installed ubuntu and winxp and i want to know how can i use antivirus from ubuntu to scan winxp?
[01:36] <thoreauputic> vega-: yes, but you just reinstall ubuntu-desktop before you dist-upgrade
[01:36] <erpo> mm2000: Yes, I do.
[01:36] <mm2000> is it worth going from 6.06 to 7.04?
[01:37] <Dquestions> if i want to take a peek at some of the sample linux source code.. how could i do that
[01:37] <ziroday> shane_: dun worry it will prob be somewhere in between
[01:37] <Dquestions> without downloading the entire soruce
[01:37] <sdf> what is the strongest antivirus for ubuntu
[01:37] <thoreauputic> vega-: which won't be for at least 5 or six months :)
[01:37] <ziroday> mm2000: yes
[01:37] <shane_> ziroday: 1 hour 9 minutes now lol
[01:37] <ziroday> mm2000: if you have time to fix
[01:37] <ziroday> shane_: it will do due to variable ip sppeds :p
[01:37] <shane_> ztr6 rr vb v nb
[01:37] <vega-> thoreauputic: IdleOne: that's what i remembered, althgouh doesn't the graphical update manager take care that ubuntu-desktop is installed before beginning..
[01:37] <shane_> Sorry it's my nephew's birthday
[01:37] <shane_> So I let him type on the pc
[01:37] <sdf> any one help
[01:37] <shane_> Didn't think he'd get to use the enter key...
[01:38] <thoreauputic> vega-: probably does now - but reinstalling it won't hurt anyway
[01:38] <ziroday> shane_: happy bday nephew
[01:38] <mm2000> ziroday: time to fix?
[01:38] <shane_> chhyhujk,klyhdfffffffffff' n kli,l uuuuuuuup[] #
[01:38] <ziroday> mm2000: it will very poosibly break sumthin going up
[01:38] <shane_> Seems he's figured out which button is enter... not bad for a 1 year old
[01:38] <mauricev> hi all
[01:38] <vega-> thoreauputic: IdleOne: ok, thanks
[01:38] <mauricev> any consed users around?
[01:38] <ziroday> shane_: same with my cat
[01:39] <shane_> ZIRODAY: What's your cat's name?
[01:39] <mauricev> i got this strange problem with remote X sessions
[01:39] <hsga> thoreauputic, tried typing what wrote but still no access except as root
[01:39] <sdf> inow i installed clamav
[01:39] <ziroday> shane_: ski
[01:39] <sdf> how can i use it from trminal??
[01:39] <sdf> terminal$
[01:40] <mauricev> and i can replicate it only in the program consed
[01:40] <thoreauputic> hsga: what does ls -ld /home/username   say ?
[01:40] <ziroday> sdf: not sure try typing clamav
[01:40] <mauricev> so maybe i should be asking the authors instead
[01:40] <thoreauputic> hsga: how did you get into this mess ? ;-)
[01:40] <shane_> ziroday: Tj is my nephew...
[01:40] <shane_> ziroday: I think my sister named him after my dog
[01:40] <ziroday> shane_: happy bday Tj
[01:40] <ziroday> shane_: lol
[01:40] <freesydney> I just installed Ubuntu from alternate CD with raid 1, and am now trying to get desktop working. Problem is that running X always corrupts my screen (funny colours randomly, going back to terminal doesn't help). My card is a Geforce 7600 GS..... any ideas?
[01:41] <sdf> ziroday i install clamav but i can tuse it  how can i do that??
[01:41] <ziroday> freesydney: sounds like a fun install try the envy script
[01:41] <sdf> viroday from terminal
[01:41] <ziroday> sdf: its prob there just hiding
[01:41] <ziroday> sdf: in a terminal type clamav
[01:41] <bad1> hi! I've installed feisty on machine where debian etch previousely was. so I leave /home untouched. it seems that everything is alright but gome menu has missing applications. i.e. firefox, evince, totem are absent there though they actually installed.
[01:42] <sdf> ziroday  command not found this that i had
[01:42] <shane_> One more question, I play a game called astonia. the client is only available in .exe extension
[01:42] <daath> Yesterday, I tried to install Ubuntu 6.10 (because I want to run LinuxMCE) - But the installation failed becuase it did not detect any modes it could use - I use the built in graphics on the Abit Fatal1ty F-I90HD motherboard (ATI Xpress 1250 IGP)  - Any pointers how I get through the installation? I tried choosing several VGA modes and safe graphics...
[01:42] <freesydney> ziroday: I installed nvidia-glx.... is that incorrect?
[01:43] <DjViper> shane_: get wine
[01:43] <spikeb> daath: perhaps use the alternate cd
[01:43] <thoreauputic> freesydney: no, that is right
[01:43] <thoreauputic> freesydney: and don't use the envy script on feisty
[01:43] <daath> spikeb, There is an alternate CD? :)
[01:43] <shane_> djviper: will I be able to install astonia to linux with wine, or will I need to load wine everytime I want to use astonia?
[01:43] <leperkhanz> shane_: You can check winehq to see if astoria plays in wine.
[01:43] <ziroday> freesydney: that dosnt always work have you got a gui?
[01:43] <hsga> thoreauputic, I installed sabnzbd but for some reason I can only run program using sudo  because of permission to the folder
[01:43] <thoreauputic> freesydney: in fact, avoid the nvidia drivers from their website if possible
[01:44] <leperkhanz> it uses wine everytime, but doesn't take any extra resources, really, it runs in the background.
[01:44] <drewhemm> hello?
[01:44] <DjViper> shane_: you will have to load wine first to run .exe's
[01:44] <thoreauputic> hsga: I have no idea what you are talking about, sorry
[01:44] <spikeb> daath: yes. it uses a different installer, should let you get up and running so you can install a driver that works :)
[01:44] <sdf> ziroday i had the command not found when i type clamav
[01:44] <DjViper> shane_: if wine doesnt work, you could try Cedega
[01:44] <sdf> ziroday what do i do?
[01:44] <thoreauputic> hsga: what is "sabnzbd" and why did you install it?
[01:44] <freesydney> I've installed feisty, and whenever I try to start X (normal bootup or running gdm or X from command line) I get a corrupted green, so no GUI.
[01:44] <leperkhanz> shane_: Or you can make a launcher that opens it up in wine automagically for you.
[01:45] <ziroday> sdf not sure check your /usr/bin/
[01:45] <daath> spikeb, Sounds good! Is it also available from the ubuntu site? Because I didn't notice it...
[01:45] <spikeb> daath: it should be yeah
[01:45] <ziroday> freesydney: do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:45] <spikeb> daath: if you cant find it i can find you a direct link if you want
[01:45] <ziroday> freesydney: make sure you select the vesa driver
[01:45] <daath> spikeb, Found it! Thanks man! I will try it tonight! :)
[01:46] <spikeb> daath: you're welcome :)
[01:46] <ziroday> freesydney: then go to www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[01:46] <sdf> ziroday  what can i write in terminal to know please help??
[01:46] <spikeb> daath: it's much easier to find something if you know it exists haha
[01:46] <leperkhanz> How do I get Thunderbird in the "Send To" right click dialog instead of stupid stupid evolution.
[01:46] <leperkhanz> ?
[01:46] <hsga> thoreauputic, its for downloading nzb files
[01:46] <daath> spikeb, hheheh yeah that's true! :)
[01:46] <ziroday> freesydney: install the file then install your driver and then youre good
[01:46] <freesydney> why is thorauputic recommending against envy?
[01:46] <thoreauputic> hsga: I don't even know what those are - what do they do?
[01:47] <ziroday> sdf: not sure try searching in your /usr/bin or searching for it
[01:47] <thoreauputic> freesydney: because it isn't necessary
[01:47] <ziroday> thoreauputic: for his card it is
[01:47] <thoreauputic> ziroday: are you sure?
[01:47] <drewhemm> anyone have any success with vnc on a headless ubuntu server?
[01:47] <ziroday> thoreauputic: 7600 is notorius
[01:47] <daath> I haven't found anyone with the Abit Fatal1ty F-I90HD on google that tried to install LinuxMCE - Any of you guys know of any?
[01:47] <ziroday> thoreauputic: go look at the forums
[01:47] <hsga> thoreauputic, like a torrent for newsgroups
[01:47] <jrib> ziroday: I have a 7600, restricted manager worked fine
[01:48] <huwshimi> I have a leadtek winfast 2000xp (tv tuner card) with a remote. I have not installed anything (such as lirc) and some of the buttons work fine (like play/pause, sleep etc.), however some buttons do not work at all. How would I go about configuring those missing buttons? Thankyou.
[01:48] <thoreauputic> ziroday: I rarely believe anything I read on the forums :)
[01:48] <ziroday> thoreauputic: 7600 GS?
[01:48] <thoreauputic> ziroday: Ok I'll leave you to it then :)
[01:48] <ziroday> jrib: sorry wrong person 7600 GS?
[01:48] <jrib> ziroday: ah no, gt
[01:48] <ziroday> jrib: bingo
[01:49] <ziroday> 7600Gt is good
[01:49] <medfly> what do i need to get if i wanna boot to the cd from a floppy disk?
[01:49] <hsga> thoreauputic, ls -ld home/user= drwxr-xr-x 41 bard bard 4096
[01:50] <ziroday> freesydney: before running the envy script you could try the restricted manager once you reconfigured your xserver
[01:50] <ziroday> freesydney: you there?
[01:50] <thoreauputic> hsga: it sounds like you have boked the permissions on your $HOME directory, anyway - should be owned by your user and group (same) and be 755 IIRC
[01:50] <thoreauputic> hsga: that looks right
[01:50] <freesydney> ziroday: yep... am trying the dpkg reconfigure
[01:50] <sirandy> !find ati

[01:51] <predaeus> leperkhanz, doesn't it work if you set thunderbird under Prefered APplications
[01:51] <BlackSonar> hi all
[01:51] <BlackSonar> help me
[01:51] <ziroday> freesydney: great first try the restricted driver once youre done
[01:51] <ziroday> !ask | BlackSonar
[01:51] <ubotu> BlackSonar: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:51] <sirandy> what is the page for ati video card install?
[01:51] <BlackSonar> you need asm debugger for Linux...
[01:51] <medfly> what do i need to get if i wanna boot to the cd from a floppy disk? can i even do that? :/
[01:51] <ziroday> sirandy: what card?

[01:53] <drewhemm> i've tried all the tutorials but no luck...
[01:54] <ziroday> sdf: why do you need clamav?
[01:54] <freesydney> ziroday: I ran through dpkg reconfigure, but decided to select nvidia just in case it worked... which it did. I ran gdm and am now in the desktop.
[01:54] <BlackSonar> you need good asm debugger for Linux
[01:54] <freesydney> very strange, I guess X was misconfigured somewhere before
[01:54] <ziroday> freesydney: sweet i was wrong have fun
[01:54] <kevkev832> how do u exit out of "man sudo_root"  . i'm stuck in there. hehe
[01:54] <thoreauputic> hsga: i.e. is the executable actually executable?

[01:55] <medfly> ziroday, he wants to remove his windows viruses on ubuntu
[01:55] <thoreauputic> hsga: then you should be able to run it using ./programname
[01:55] <sdf> ziroday that for windows xp
[01:55] <thoreauputic> hsga: from its directory
[01:55] <sdf> medfly right
[01:55] <thoreauputic> hsga: or with the full path
[01:56] <ziroday> freesydney: System > Administrator > Restricted
[01:56] <anotherpunk> When I ran the live disc, my wireless connections showed up when I clicked the Network button by the clock but not once I installed, why not?
[01:56] <freesydney> duh... silly me, thanks

[01:59] <thoreauputic> hsga: try  sudo chmod 755 programname
[01:59] <medfly> what do i need to get if i wanna boot to the cd from a floppy disk? can i even do that? :/
[01:59] <zaggynl> Is there something like daemontools for linux? I'm getting of swapping cd's for games
[01:59] <thoreauputic> hsga: you have no read permissions there
[01:59] <zaggynl> +tired
[01:59] <tondar> hey all
[02:00] <tondar> I accidentally added the mail check screenlet to the desktop
[02:00] <tondar> and now desklets hangs
[02:00] <anotherpunk> I need help with a notorious cursor drift my laptop is plagued with
[02:00] <tondar> how do I remove it
[02:00] <Myrtti> zaggynl: http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic483.html
[02:00] <anotherpunk> how do I disable the pointer stick on my laptop?
[02:00] <tondar> I can't right click
[02:00] <zaggynl> *click*
[02:00] <thoreauputic> hsga: after that try running it again
[02:01] <zaggynl> Myrtti, right, you can do it via commandline, but isn't there a gui for it? for really lazy people like me?
[02:01] <tondar> how do I reset the desklets?
[02:01] <medfly> is it possible to boot from a floppy disk onto my ubuntu cd so i can install ubuntu on an old computer?
[02:01] <medfly> please?:p
[02:01] <fr0nk> medfly: yes
[02:01] <fr0nk> medfly: just boot a minimal linux that fits on a floppy
[02:02] <fr0nk> then copy the directory structure to your hdd
[02:02] <fr0nk> then chroot into that "preinstallation"
[02:02] <thoreauputic> hsga: those permissions are for a directory, not an executable as far as I can see anyway ( the d- is a directory designation)
[02:02] <Myrtti> zaggynl: not that I know of, but you could do a small script quite easily and launch it with a launcher
[02:02] <mm2000> when will there be a proper flashplugin for linux?
[02:02] <hsga> thoreauputic, i type ./SABnzbd.py -d -f SABnzbd.ini to start it so  sudo chmod 755  ./SABnzbd.py -d -f SABnzbd.ini
[02:02] <fr0nk> and then run the installation routine within the chrooted environment
[02:02] <thoreauputic> hsga: umm, no
[02:02] <Myrtti> mm2000: there already is?
[02:02] <zaggynl> Myrtti, I think I found something in Synaptic
[02:02] <fr0nk> medfly: this should def. work
[02:03] <kevkev832> what is the command (apt-get?) to download UBUNTU alternative OS so that if the internet drops it keeps on reconnecting until it finish download the .iso file?  let't say the file is at  www.ubuntu.com/alternativeUbuntu.iso  tq.
[02:03] <mm2000> Myrtti: there is one, but not a proper one..?
[02:03] <heroin> kevkev832: wget
[02:03] <crusie> hmm seems I've made some serious screw-up
[02:03] <thoreauputic> hsga: SABnzbd.py is th eexecutable, presumably ( python script)
[02:03] <Myrtti> mm2000: define "not a proper one"
[02:03] <anotherpunk> How do I disable the pointer stick on my Dell laptop?
[02:03] <Thor> #pacificwavedirect
[02:03] <heroin> How do i install flash player whatever so i can see shit on youtube?
[02:03] <thoreauputic> !flash
[02:03] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[02:03] <crusie> could someone please telle me how I fix this? I try do open synatic and get E: The package hl1440lpr needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[02:03] <fr0nk> *G*
[02:04] <tidrion_> this is what I get when I try to boot from Feisty's kernel Invalid compressed format (err=1). I can boot from edgy's kernel without issue but not from feisty's any thoughts?
[02:04] <thoreauputic> heroin: and watch your language please
[02:04] <fr0nk> i have a problem watching .rm (realmovie) files
[02:04] <hsga> thoreauputic, ok
[02:04] <heroin> thoreauputic:  owyah :X
[02:04] <ziroday> sdf: try clamscan
[02:04] <fr0nk> whenever i use totem to open a .rm file it says i have to install a codec
[02:04] <Slart> fr0nk: I think everyone has.. it's a feature of the format =)... have you tried vlc?
[02:04] <fr0nk> Slart: yes, doesn't work
[02:05] <josh_> apt-get install large-coffee
[02:05] <ziroday> sdf: in terminal "clamscan"
[02:05] <ziroday> sdf: its the name
[02:05] <fr0nk> Slart: totem says i have to install some kind of codec, but it is already installed
[02:05] <fr0nk> i have re-installed it severall times
[02:05] <heroin> thoreauputic: Package flashplugin-nonfree is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[02:05] <fr0nk> rebooted
[02:05] <fr0nk> prayed to satan
[02:05] <fr0nk> tried everything
[02:05] <fr0nk> :(

[02:05] <thoreauputic> heroin: it's in multiverse
[02:05] <punkfreak> back again and sorry for dissapearing ... as before i'm looking for an application that takes the rendered output of a web page and saves it as an image .... is there such a thing ?
[02:05] <Slart> fr0nk: hmm... then I don't know... I don't use totem much.. vlc works for everything I use.. sorry
[02:05] <fr0nk> Slart: .rm, too?
[02:05] <savetheWorld> punkfreak: take a screenshot
[02:05] <thoreauputic> heroin: check System- Admin - Software Sources
[02:05] <heroin> thoreauputic:  damnit iam on AMD64bit machine..damnit
[02:05] <fr0nk> Slart: i'll try it out
[02:06] <josh_> Did you sacrifice a live chicken while praying to Satan. --Oh wait, that only works with Windows
[02:06] <thoreauputic> heroin: ah, no flash for amd64
[02:06] <Slart> fr0nk: I'll go find an rm-file and try... I'll be back
[02:06] <ziroday> josh_: we use kittens
[02:06] <stefg> !flash64
[02:06] <ubotu> You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava
[02:06] <spikeb> gnash and swfdec are both coming along pretty nicely though. won't be too long before they're adequate
[02:06] <thoreauputic> stefg: useful, thanks
[02:06] <Sunbow> hi, how can i move conky's graphic for another place in my desktop? which file is the settings of conky?
[02:06] <heroin> i will go gnash
[02:07] <punkfreak> savetheWorld: I need to do it on a schedule :'(
[02:07] <thoreauputic> heroin: I tried gnash on ppc - it only works occasionally, sadly
[02:07] <tondar> how can I remove the mail screenlet? it freezes when screenlets start to run
[02:07] <kust0m> Sunbow: try man conky from a terminal. I think it's like .conkyrc in your home directory.
[02:07] <savetheWorld> punkfreak: so you need a scriptable tool to take a screenshot.
[02:07] <Sunbow> ok kust0m
[02:07] <heroin> thoreauputic: iam on a AMD64
[02:07] <heroin> thoreauputic: atleast i have one of those stickers :X
[02:08] <punkfreak> savetheWorld: that would be correct :D
[02:08] <thoreauputic> heroin: I know - I was just suggesting that gnash isn't quite there yet
[02:08] <thoreauputic> heroin: as in , it rarely works in my experience
[02:08] <thoreauputic> heroin: YMMV
[02:08] <savetheWorld> punkfreak: see "import"
[02:08] <sdf> ziroday thanx
[02:09] <heroin> thoreauputic:  ZOMG gnash sucks balls
[02:09] <ziroday> sdf no prob sorry it took so long
[02:09] <sdf> ziroday never mind
[02:09] <heroin> wow taht really sucked
[02:09] <sdf> ziroday i have another question??
[02:09] <thoreauputic> hsga: any luck with your python thing?
[02:09] <ziroday> sdf: sure i might not know the answer
[02:10] <savetheWorld> punkfreak: you'll need to open a browser on the url from thecommand line and then call import, and then kill the browser window.  If you need help with that see #bash
[02:10] <hsga> thoreauputic,  still  no premission after typing sudo chmod 755 SABnzbd.py
[02:10] <sdf> ziroday how can i update clamav for the new viruses
[02:10] <sdf> ??
[02:10] <punkfreak> savetheWorld: now would this be doable in the crontab?
[02:10] <thoreauputic> hsga: you typed that in the right dir, I hope?
[02:10] <Enselic__> !metacity
[02:10] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about metacity - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:11] <ziroday> sdf: i saw a command when i typed clamav --help but you may just wanna get a gui (i think synaptic has one)
[02:11] <ziroday> !gnome | Enselic__
[02:11] <ubotu> Enselic__: gnome is a project that provides two things: The GNOME desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop for end-users, users, and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework for building applications that integrate into the rest of the desktop.
[02:11] <heroin> is wine affected by the fact i have a AMD64 processor?
[02:11] <savetheWorld> punkfreak: if the user has access to the X Display, yes
[02:11] <thoreauputic> hsga: all I can suggest is that you re-read the instructions for installing it then - I am not familiar with this script
[02:11] <punkfreak> ok
[02:11] <lowie82ph> how to make a link in /usr/bin/
[02:11] <lowie82ph> named tethereal pointing to /usr/bin/tshark
[02:11] <Enselic__> lowie82ph: sudo ln -s source new_link
[02:11] <hsga> thoreauputic,  i typed it in the dir I have no accsess to
[02:12] <kaze_> heroin: wine should not be drunk too close to an AMD64 cpu. It's way too hot.
[02:12] <chulo04> hallo
[02:12] <tondar> anyone help me with screenlets??
[02:12] <hsga> thoreauputic,  ok thanx for trying
[02:12] <thoreauputic> lowie82ph: sudo ln -s /usr/bin/tshark /usr/bin/tethereal
[02:12] <Dimensions> Hiya ... i want to run a script on bootup ... can i use /etc/init.d/rc.local for it ?
[02:12] <lowie82ph> thanks
[02:13] <sdf> ziroday  i do scan and the result was i had i infected file how can i remove the virus?
[02:13] <thoreauputic> Dimensions: try /etc/rc.local
[02:13] <thoreauputic> sdf: umm, an infected file on linux??
[02:13] <thoreauputic> sdf: highly unlikely...
[02:14] <ziroday> sdf: its complex in the command line you can get a gui by doing "sudo apt-get install clamassassin" or "sudo apt-get install clamtk"
[02:14] <punkfreak> savetheWorld: how do i find out what the name of the window is ?
[02:14] <sdf> media/hda1/pagefile.sys: Trojan.Spy.Goldun.Gen FOUND
[02:14] <sdf> that was the result
[02:14] <thoreauputic> ah on Win...
[02:14] <ziroday> sdf: not sure in console ive never used clamav before
[02:14] <savetheWorld> punkfreak: set it on the command line when you invoke the browser... maybe.
[02:15] <punkfreak> savetheWorld: right ... my newbie roots are beginning to show now :'(
[02:15] <savetheWorld> punkfreak: not "beginning"... :-)
[02:16] <Enselic__> How do I officially configure metacity, e.g. I'd like Alt + F11 to toggle_fullscreen
[02:16] <ziroday> savetheWorld: thats nice
[02:16] <punkfreak> savetheWorld: right ... my are now totally visible amongst the gurus :|

[02:17] <Michael1028> Hi - wondering if someone can answer a few questions regarding installation of ubuntu to an external usb HD
[02:17] <Yayan> I'm using Ubuntu on my laptop NEC Versa, but the sound doesn't work. Can anyone help me please?
[02:17] <heroin> can i install wine on a 64bit system
[02:17] <Enselic__> crimsun: oh, that's even logical :)
[02:17] <crimsun> Yayan: please read http://www.linux-sound.info/alsa/index.php?task=support and tell me the URL of the paste generated by the script linked from that page.
[02:18] <gudinio> Hi, why 7.04 is bad under load? The system almost stalls when I update programs. Never had that before :(
[02:18] <Enselic__> gudinio: sure there are no cron jobs currently running?
[02:18] <Michael1028> In the installation software, there is an advanced tab that allows to to install grub to a different drive.  If I have two drive and the default is HD0 will it install to my internal drive or my usb
[02:18] <bad1> does feisty run with MALLOC_CHECK enabled?
[02:18] <Enselic__> sure -> are you sure
[02:18] <Dimensions> thanks thoreauputic
[02:18] <gudinio> Enselic__, nope.
[02:19] <mooky> bad1 enabled onwhat ?
[02:19] <Enselic__> gudinio: in what way does it stall?
[02:19] <Enselic__> gudinio: slow download?
[02:19] <anu> SZCDascd
[02:19] <bad1> mooky: by default
[02:19] <anu> sorry -_-
[02:19] <mooky> bad1 but default on what?
[02:19] <Neil-> hey all, i cant use update manager
[02:19] <Neil-> it says resource temporarily unavailable for E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock, any ideas?
[02:20] <mooky> Neil-: use sudo
[02:20] <gudinio> Enselic__, for ex now I reencode a video file - responsiveness of the system is aweful :(
[02:20] <bad1> mooky: I dont understand. You mean some applications may be compilled with MALLOC_CHECK and other don't?
[02:20] <Neil-> it asked for my pass, i put it in
[02:20] <bulle> gudinio: "man nice"
[02:20] <mooky> bad1 thats a pretty generic option - you need to be more specific
[02:21] <Enselic__> gudinio: does top give any clues?
[02:21] <Yayan> thanks a lot crimsun
[02:21] <crimsun> bad1: MALLOC_CHECK_?  echo it and see.
[02:21] <gudinio> bulle, ok
[02:21] <crimsun> Yayan: make sure you tell me the url.
[02:21] <stefg> Michael1028: you should generally use the alternate-installer for an install on an external hd. you might end up with your mbr overwritten with grub, pointing to a nonexisting partition
[02:21] <mooky> crimsun its not going to be in his environment bariable
[02:21] <Yayan> OK
[02:21] <mooky> variable
[02:21] <redox91> hey how do i get KDE onto my ubuntu?!?
[02:21] <Pelo> morning folks,  is the python2.5-dev package borked ?
[02:21] <mooky> redox91 install it from the repo
[02:21] <gudinio> Enselic__, ok mea culpa that is the compiz thing, Turned it off
[02:21] <thoreauputic> redox91: sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
[02:21] <stiv> hey everyone ... i'm trying to build my own distro based on ubuntu. i have a working apt-mirror where all packets are signed with my own gpg-key. now i'm trying to netboot using that server to install everything - only the installer won't accept my mirror, because he doesn't like the keys. i already added my key to "/usr/share/keyrings/ubunt-keyring.gpg" in the initrd of the installer, but it's still not working. does anyone know what i can do to
[02:21] <stiv> make it accept my key?
[02:21] <Pelo> redox91, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[02:21] <redox91> where are them?
[02:21] <Enselic__> redox91: sudo apt-ge install kubuntu-desktop
[02:21] <ziroday> !kde
[02:21] <ubotu> KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu:  sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop , or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . Latest KDE version is 3.5.6 for Feisty and Edgy, and 3.5.5 for Dapper. See http://kubuntu.org for more information.
[02:22] <mooky> stiv we don't support "build you own distro" if you are building your own distro you should know what your doing
[02:23] <bad1> mooky: I see that my system not as fast as debian was. then I encountered MALLOC_CHECK diagnostics during running axiom application. So I decided that that slowness may be caused by MALLOC_CHECK system-wide. But I don't know how to get sure
[02:23] <stiv> i think i know what i'm doing - at least most of the time, i just wanted to ask if anyone knows where i can tell the installer to accept my key - just adding it to the keyring file doesn't work (as it did when creating a install cd)
[02:23] <mooky> bad1 if you don't know what your saying - then you can't make assumptions thats the problem.
[02:24] <mooky> stiv this is ubuntu support though not stivbutu support
[02:24] <ziroday> mooky: did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed or sumthing
[02:24] <mooky> ziroday not at all
[02:24] <heroin> exit
[02:24] <thoreauputic> mooky: be a fraction less brusque, perhaps :)
[02:25] <ziroday> mooky: and its obviously stivBUNTU
[02:25] <mooky> thoreauputic just stating the facts
[02:25] <anas> guys, i have configured a dial-up account throug pppconfig and i'm able to connect through my dial-up modem, but each time i get disconnected after a short period sometimes it's shorter and sometimes a bit longer, why do u think is that?
[02:25] <stiv> hm. k, thanks anyway
[02:25] <mooky> ziroday correct its not - so I'm informing him this is "ubuntu" support not home made distro support
[02:25] <Neil-> how do u swap active channels in Irssi??
[02:25] <sdf> ziroday when i open clamtk i had error message  " you don tappear to have virus definitions"
[02:25] <thoreauputic> mooky: My suggestion was about social interaction, not accuracy :)
[02:25] <mooky> Neil- man irssis
[02:25] <ziroday> sdf: not sure
[02:25] <ziroday> mooky: what thoreauputic said
[02:26] <Juhaz> swap active channels?
[02:26] <thoreauputic> mooky: rtfm is deprecated around here
[02:26] <Traxiux> hello i have a problem with whine. it says " no application suitable for automatic installation is available for handling this kind of file".
[02:26] <Traxiux> wine*
[02:26] <Fred_Sambo> lol @ whine
[02:26] <Traxiux> hehe :P
[02:26] <sdf> any one help??
[02:26] <ziroday> stefg: but how many of them are actually here?
[02:27] <mooky> thoreauputic thoreauputic I didn't say rtfm, I asked him to check the man pages
[02:27] <mooky> thoreauputic: I understand what your saying though
[02:27] <thoreauputic> mooky: :) OK
[02:27] <mooky> thoreauputic but this is ubuntu specific support not general "don't know how to use linux or applications support"
[02:27] <thoreauputic> mooky: I agree
[02:27] <thoreauputic> !lists
[02:27] <ubotu> mail is another medium to communicate. Ubuntu mailinglists can be found at http://lists.ubuntu.com
[02:28] <anas> anyone has some experience with dial-up modems on ubuntu?
[02:28] <scriper> HI all

[02:29] <alencar> hi everyone, how are you?
[02:29] <orbin> anas: yes, but i'm no expert on getting them to work.  what's the problem?

[02:30] <fredl> is there a way to debug totem-plugin-viewer?!?!
[02:30] <Pelo> kingcobra, try it , I might be wrong
[02:30] <Max-B> I'm running Ardour with Ubuntu 7.04 with "standard" kernel.... I have a lot of xruns... could someone help me to configure Jack in order to reduce xruns?
[02:30] <SlimeyPete> scriper: different version of ubuntu (a bit like Windows 98, Millenium, 2000, XP, Vista)
[02:30] <fredl> it seems to start up in firefox when I click on an mpeg, but it doesn't play anything
[02:30] <SlimeyPete> scriper: Feisty is the latest
[02:30] <kingcobra> Pelo, it doesnt work
[02:31] <kingcobra> Pelo, any ideas
[02:31] <crimsun> Max-B: try installing the -lowlatency kernel (universe) and configuring PAM for audio usage.
[02:31] <crimsun> Max-B: I'm happy to help you in #ubuntustudio if you'd like assistance.
[02:31] <scriper> so 7.04 is called feisty, right I am?
[02:31] <raf256> crimsun: is it CK patched one?
[02:31] <orbin> !release > scriper  (read pm from ubotu)
[02:31] <crimsun> raf256: no.
[02:31] <SlimeyPete> scriper: yep
[02:31] <Pelo> kingcobra, search hal in synaptic,get the right spelling for the package and try to start that
[02:31] <bobslaede> anybody up for a crazy mail problem!? :) I have to "identical" machines, one connecting thru our router normally, the other was its own global ipadress, one-to-one thru the router. The one with the global ip, can't check mail thru pop3, i can however telnet the mail server on port 110 just fine. The other machine works with no problems what so ever! The only difference i can see, is the ip/router thing... But theres no NAT.
[02:31] <scriper> thx a lot
[02:31] <fredl> then when I right click the black screen from totem-plugin-viewer and select "Open with Movie Player" it runs just fine.
[02:32] <raqamy> hi
[02:32] <driverz> hi
[02:32] <fredl> okay I'll make the question real simple. Does anybody here ever click on mpegs from within firefox? do they play?
[02:32] <alencar> hi
[02:32] <Michael1028> Hi - Looking for some support on an install to an external HD?  Anyone willing to chat for about 5 min?
[02:32] <orbin> crimsun: no?
[02:33] <xme> scriper:  they are just updated of versions of ubuntu.  they run alphabetically so from oldest to newest it goes like this: Dapper Edgy Feisty
[02:33] <driverz> I'm looking for some help installing Feisty on an external USB drive
[02:33] <Max-B> crimsun: thanks I will go there
[02:33] <Pelo> fredl,  install mplayer-mozilla  remove totem-mozilla,  install the codecs
[02:33] <crimsun> orbin: no what?
[02:33] <raqamy> when using rm command with a file, that means it has gone, and there is no way bakc ever ?
[02:34] <bobslaede> raqamy: yes
[02:34] <fredl> Pelo - Hrmm... is totem STILL fubar?
[02:34] <Pelo> no totem is something else
[02:34] <orbin> crimsun: bah, nvm.  thought you said no to scriper's question :-/
[02:34] <raqamy> bobslaede,  LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
[02:34] <driverz> Michael1028... are u installing to a USB drive?
[02:34] <raqamy> bobslaede, thanks
[02:34] <Michael1028> yes
[02:34] <bobslaede> raqamy: np
[02:34] <Michael1028> driverz:yes
[02:34] <fredl> why the hell do they include, no even prefer, totem over mplayer. I just recently upgraded and AGAIN I have this totem bullshit.
[02:34] <driverz> What prob are you having?
[02:35] <driverz> ... and is it Feisty?
[02:35] <phy2> Undeleting linux files -- http://recover.sourceforge.net/linux/
[02:35] <Pelo> fredl, totem is the default player in gnome
[02:35] <SlimeyPete> fredl: some of the mplayer stuff is a bit dodgy, legal-wise. Personally I'd prefer they used VLC with a custom skin.
[02:35] <kingcobra> Pelo, theres a package called hal in synaptic
[02:35] <raqamy> bobslaede, i was just downloaded ubuntu server
[02:35] <s1gma> Hi has anyone got any info as to how I can get involved with Ubuntu Mobile
[02:36] <raqamy> bobslaede, and used that command wthis it
[02:36] <kingcobra> Pelo, hal in terminal says command not found
[02:36] <bobslaede> raqamy: oh, that sucks
[02:36] <fredl> it's such a POS though, I mean if I'm having problems with it I can't imagine it'll make much sense to any newbies.
[02:36] <Pelo> kingcobra, I know, try reinstalling , and use the "hal" in the terminal to try and start it
[02:36] <scriper> Well, i have installed kubuntu 7.04 and some time ago i updated kdm theme from kdm theme manager. Right away i wanted to change it again, but now there is no button for administrator mode. How can i get it back?
[02:36] <driverz> Michael1028 is it Feisty ur installing?
[02:36] <tsw> any ideas howto create full image of a remote server?
[02:36] <kingcobra> ok
[02:36] <Michael1028> I want to install to my USB Drive - but not overwrite my MBR on my primary drive.   I assumed the advanced tab let's you choose which drive GRUB get's installed to - it's default is HD0.  In my system I would assume HD0 is the internal drive and HD1 is the external - so I need to change that correct?  My goal is not to dual boot but to have the machine boot to the internal or external based on my power on config.
[02:36] <bobslaede> raqamy: as phy2 pointed out: http://recover.sourceforge.net/linux/
[02:36] <PriceChild> s1gma: its being discussed at UDS Sevilla this week, but I think you'd be best being patient and see what happens
[02:37] <s1gma> PriceChild: Thanks : I really want to get involved I like what ubuntu has done for linux
[02:37] <Pelo> Michael1028,  sounds about right
[02:37] <raqamy> bobslaede, thanks, for the info i will check
[02:37] <Hadron> can anyone here confirm that the systemrescueCD x86-0.2.5 can reinstate grub after reinstalling xp in a dual boot scenario?
[02:37] <driverz> I have read that Feisty recognizes all drives as SCSI but I got hd0 for a choice to install GRUB
[02:37] <PriceChild> s1gma: i'm in sevilla right now at the summit and there may be meetings still to come
[02:38] <PriceChild> s1gma: find the schedule on the wiki.
[02:38] <don_jln> Hello
[02:38] <kingcobra> Pelo, i reinstalled but hal still gives command not found in terminal
[02:38] <spikeb> PriceChild: any news on the ultra free edition?
[02:38] <s1gma> PriceChild: I'm trying to get my head round : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UDS-Sevilla
[02:38] <Pelo> kingcobra,  try HAL
[02:38] <driverz> I think you might want to try the alternate install CD so you can choose where to install GRUB
[02:38] <PriceChild> spikeb: -> offtopic
[02:38] <kingcobra> Pelo, doesnt work either
[02:39] <Michael1028> OK - so here's a dumb question - why is it not HD0 for the internal and SD0 for the external
[02:39] <Pelo> kingcobra,  hald ( from my system manager)
[02:39] <driverz> I've tried changing the GRUB install to sda, sda1, sd0 - all with no luck
[02:39] <driverz> Michael1028, I believe it used to be until Feisty was released
[02:40] <Pelo> driverz, grub doesn'T recognise  sda sda1 ect,  it works with (hd0,0) ie hdA,B where A is the number of the hdd,  and B the number of the partition,     the numbering starts with 0
[02:41] <nir_ai_> Hey, I am getting "Argument list too long" when I try a simple grep on a directory with many files. what is going on? what should I do?
[02:41] <don_jln> I am new to ubuntu and I soon want to install it. My problem is that I have got version 6.06 and the current version is 7.04, is it easily possible to update?
[02:41] <driverz> Pelo... the why didn't GRUB install when I tried sda and sda1??
[02:41] <aventin> anyone here with experience with gsynapics?
[02:41] <driverz> Sorry,,, I meant hd0,0
[02:41] <kingcobra> Pelo, is there anyway to check if hal is running
[02:41] <spikeb> don_jln: you can either keep using 6.06 until the next long term service release comes out, or you can upgrade to 6.10, and then to 7.04
[02:41] <Pelo> driverz, maybe the installer does the conversion for your
[02:41] <Michael1028> driverz: sounds like it doesnt recognize scsi drives (SD) oh Hard Drive HD
[02:42] <Pelo> kingcobra,  system monitor,  display show all processes
[02:42] <kingcobra> Pelo, its not running
[02:42] <void^> don_jln: considering you'll have to redownload pretty much everything anyway to update it will be easier to just download a new iso and install that
[02:42] <Pelo> kingcobra,  maybe you need to reboot
[02:42] <driverz> I installed to the USB drive finally letting it install GRUB to hd0 (I had a secondary internal IDE installed) so GRUB went to the IDE rather than the USB
[02:42] <don_jln> okay, thanks
[02:42] <kingcobra> Pelo, hald executes but doesnt seem to do anything
[02:43] <kingcobra> Pelo, ok ill do that thanx
[02:43] <Michael1028> driverz: that's exactly my problem - I don't want that to happen
[02:43] <nir_ai_> anyone?
[02:43] <nir_ai_> Hey, I am getting "Argument list too long" when I try a simple grep on a directory with many files. what is going on? what should I do?
[02:43] <Michael1028> Pelo: Anyway from Live CD to see how grub views my external USB drive
[02:43] <driverz> I have read some changed the GRUB file(?) to sdb and got things working.... I don't get it?
[02:44] <Pelo> Michael1028, what do you mean ?
[02:44] <void^> nir_ai_: use something like find . -type f | xargs grep some_text
[02:44] <Michael1028> Pelo: sounds like groub does not recognize SD's only HDX,X -- How do I confirm that my external USB HD is referenced as HD1 or HD2
[02:45] <void^> nir_ai_: or, use grep on a directoy with the -R option
[02:45] <don_jln> and do you have any suggestion which variant is best? ubuntu or kubuntu?
[02:45] <bulle> don_jln: its just the same thing, with different desktops installed
[02:45] <Pelo> Michael1028,   grub won't see it as sd, it sees all hdd as hd where hd0,1 is  first hdd, second partition
[02:45] <pirx> hey! does the system somehow keey track of stuff that was started from a script in /etc/init.d/ and keeps it alive?
[02:45] <don_jln> with regard to my lowspeed computer
[02:45] <rambo3> you cant start grub from terminal and run list to se partitions
[02:45] <bulle> don_jln: you can install kde on ubuntu and gnome on kubuntu, and then you have both kde and gnome, and can choose what you want
[02:46] <timmi> is somebody using avant window navigator?
[02:46] <Buckminster> question: I installed ubuntu months ago, then upgraded to feisty and it wrecked my gnome session, couldn't log in anymore, so I installed the kubuntu desktop, if I apt-get removed ubuntu desktop and reinstalled it would I be able to go back to my gnome<33 desktop?
[02:46] <Pelo> timmi, what is the issue you are having ?
[02:46] <don_jln> bulle: which variant does need less power?
[02:46] <rambo3> Buckminster, yes
[02:46] <driverz> Pelo... if it sees all hd's as hda, hdb, et, then what will it call a SCSI drive?
[02:46] <Buckminster> would I need to delete all the gnome related .files?
[02:46] <nir_ai_> void^, find also fails with 'Argument list too long'
[02:46] <rambo3> Buckminster, you need to install gnome
[02:46] <bulle> don_jln: they are pretty equal in that department
[02:46] <Buckminster> I have gnome it just doesnt work anymore
[02:47] <Buckminster> are there files in /etc that should be deleted too?
[02:47] <Pelo> driverz, it doesn'T see them as hda hdb, it sees them in another naming system altogether,
[02:47] <void^> nir_ai_: find itself without the 'xargs grep' part fails?
[02:47] <rambo3> Buckminster, you could just move .gnome and gnome2 folders as .gnome_old and try loging in
[02:47] <don_jln> bulle: do you know anything about xfce and its requirements?
[02:47] <wouter__> hello
[02:47] <timmi> Pelo, i want to use it as a starter bar, so i want to disable the part that shows the active tasks.
[02:47] <nir_ai_> void^, "find *.html" fails
[02:47] <Keyseir> How do I determine my computers static IP address for the purpose of port forwarding?
[02:47] <wouter__> damn
[02:47] <nir_ai_> I think its a folder with around 5000 files
[02:48] <wouter__> dirty anyone?
[02:48] <void^> nir_ai_: that's wrong, use 'find . -name "*.html"'
[02:48] <Keyseir> Port forwarding anybody?
[02:48] <Pelo> timmi,  as far as I know avant is just a window-list  not a starter bar,  look in gdesklets for that,  laucher bar
[02:48] <bulle> don_jln: dunno realy, i dont use xfce
[02:48] <driverz> Pelo...Ok... so I want to install to USB external.... where should I tell it to install GRUB?
[02:48] <wouter__> wauw
[02:48] <wouter__> 02its blue
[02:48] <bulle> don_jln: i would guess its a bit slimmer, but no big difference, if you intend to use say firefox and so on
[02:49] <kingcobra> Pelo, hal still fails to load
[02:49] <Pelo> driverz, not sure,  how many other hdd ( all type included) do you have on your comp?  the numbering starts with zero so hd0,0 or something
[02:50] <porcho> e97micua
[02:50] <Pelo> kingcobra, try the forum , it happens to me occasionnaly but a restart usualy takes care of it
[02:50] <stefg> Keyseir: you mean how to configure your ubuntu to use a static LAN-IP ?
[02:50] <don_jln> bulle: okay, thanks
[02:50] <driverz> Pelo I have one IDE internal on the secondary channel
[02:50] <Keyseir> stefg, I guess that's what I mean.
[02:50] <kingcobra> Pelo, when i run hald in terminal it doesnt exit
[02:50] <Pelo> drivera90, then I assume the grub ident for your usb drive would be  (hd1,0)
[02:51] <Keyseir> stefg, I was figuring it might have been by default and I just didn't know how to see what it was.
[02:51] <nir_ai_> void^, how do I make grep treat the generated text as file list ?
[02:51] <sdf> how can i formate fat32 file system from linux ???
[02:51] <kingcobra> Pelo, when i run hald in terminal it doesnt exit
[02:51] <driverz> Pelo... to be clear one USB external and one IDE internal
[02:51] <sdf> format*
[02:51] <Pelo> kingcobra, it was just a suggestion, it might be that you can't run hal from the terminal , I'm not an expert on this
[02:51] <kingcobra> i got disconnected there
[02:51] <stefg> Keyseir: it's in the system-admin-network applet. Default is dhcp, so you gotta change that to an IP that fits with your routers subnet
[02:52] <kingcobra> Pelo, ok thanx
[02:52] <void^> nir_ai_: as above, '| xargs grep some_text'
[02:52] <Pelo> drivera90, and you want to install grub on the usb external, so my best educated guess is that you will be instaling to (hd1,0),   second hdd ( in this case a usb) first partition
[02:52] <Pelo> driverz, and you want to install grub on the usb external, so my best educated guess is that you will be instaling to (hd1,0),   second hdd ( in this case a usb) first partition
[02:52] <Keyseir> stefg, How do I access this applet or do this through terminal?
[02:52] <nir_ai_> void^, ah, I got it, xargs...
[02:53] <nir_ai_> thanks
[02:53] <driverz> Pelo  Thanks I'll give it a try.... nothing to lose at this point.
[02:53] <stefg> Keyseir: ever heard of dropdown menus ? :-) You're on gnome, aren't you?
[02:54] <Pelo> driverz, if youcan open up your comp, consider unplugging your ide driver so there is nothing else to install to ,  but the os on it will not be automaticaly added
[02:54] <Keyseir> stefg, No, I'm on fluxbox. Though I can log in gnome to access these drop down menus I suppose.
[02:54] <Michael1028> Thanks Pelo and Driverz - I'll give it a shot.
[02:54] <driverz> Good Luck Michael1028
[02:55] <Keyseir> stefg, right so. Find applet, change from dhcp to a nice static IP with said applet from drop down menu in gnome.
[02:55] <driverz> Pelo  The internal has data on it that I want to be accessible. It will be recognized after the install when I reconnect it, yes?
[02:55] <stefg> Keyseir: i see.. it's probably easisest to simply 'sudo gnome-network-preferences' in a term
[02:55] <driverz> ...Pelo... or I just add it to fstab at that point I guess?
[02:56] <Pelo> drivera90,  recogninsed but just not bootable from grub unless you manualy add it to the menu,  you might have to edit your fstab as well
[02:56] <driverz> Cool - doesn't need to be bootable
[02:56] <stefg> Keyseir:  correction:  'sudo gnome-nettool' in a term
[02:57] <driverz> Pelo  I'll go and see what happens... thanks again

[02:59] <humbolto>  how to find out via console whether a cpu supports intels virtualization extensions?
[02:59] <dj-fu> grep cpuinfo for it
[03:00] <nuu> cat /proc/cpuinfo should give some hints in the "flags" field
[03:00] <nuu> not sure what flag you're looking for though, just an idea.
[03:01] <dj-fu> This file specifies whether the vmx (Intel) or svm (AMD) extensions are supported.
[03:01] <Traxiux> hi how to see if the grafic card drivers are working?
[03:01] <humbolto> nuu, dj-fu: yes, which flags? one would suspect VT but there is none. I know one of my machines supports it. Just don't know which one.
[03:01] <Pelo> Traxiux,  lsmod I think
[03:01] <dj-fu> humbolto: 'vmx' (intel) 'svm' (AMD)
[03:01] <colo_work> what package can I find libXm.so in?
[03:02] <humbolto> nuu, dj-fu: do you guys know, is there a way to get the exact CPU name somehow? t5500 ...
[03:02] <Traxiux> pelo: k thx

[03:04] <kupesoft> Where's a good place to start looking for computers
[03:05] <kupesoft> I'm having trouble navigating through the sea of distributors on the interweb,
[03:05] <Traxiux> pelo: ok i cant find it
[03:05] <bulle> kupesoft: just go to some local store that can build a box for you
[03:05] <Pelo> kupesoft,  I have a fondness for local stores myself,  you can get them to build you what you want
[03:05] <stefg> kupesoft: rather put that to#hardware, it's offtopic here
[03:05] <spikeb> kupesoft: system76.com has ubuntu machines. duno if they are in your price range

[03:06] <kupesoft> stefg: I wasn't aware of #hardware
[03:06] <dj-fu> is what my vmware host here says
[03:06] <Pelo> Traxiux, that was my best guess, I've never needed to check if my driver was working myself
[03:06] <stefg> kupesoft: now you are :-)
[03:06] <kupesoft> stefg: ty
[03:06] <humbolto> dj-fu: do I have to start a special kernel to see this extension? I guess 2.4.x does not support identifying this flag, right?
[03:06] <Traxiux> pelos: ok :S

[03:07] <humbolto> dj-fu: does not tell me to much, does it?
[03:07] <stefg> Keyseir: what's your routers ip, and which one did you choose for your box?
[03:07] <Keyseir> stefg, I've got a "smc7004vbr", I did some googling and apparently this may be a problem unless my ISP has given me a static actual ISP..?
[03:07] <Pelo> Traxiux, ah now you are talking,  in fiesty  in menu < system > admin ( or prefs) restrictec drivers,  it one is available it will show it should also show if in use,
[03:07] <Keyseir> stefg, Router: 192.168.2.1

[03:15] <xnet-2> jember
[03:15] <Pelo> slavik, check in synaptic and install the missing package ,  you can always remove it afterward
[03:15] <xnet-2> brown
[03:15] <slavik> Pelo: there is no missing package
[03:15] <Enverex> My laptop has an Atheros chipset PCMCIA WiFi card and network manager detects it and picks up access points, but if I click on the access point to use it just shows that whirling animation indefinately and never connects...
[03:16] <Pelo> spinz8r,   in /home/user/.config/autostart, remove the beryl file,  so it won'T get started at startup
[03:16] <Pelo> slavik, that was my best guess
[03:16] <Tom47> Hagg5: do you mean active at close down?
[03:16] <pink^panther> anyone can help me on my NAT problem?
[03:16] <pink^panther> version 7.04
[03:17] <bobslaede> how do i disabled checksum offloading on my NIC, it seems to be causing a bit of trouble?
[03:17] <CheshireViking> Enverex, I have the same problem with the enable roaming ticked as being on, I got round it by manually configuring my wireless connection
[03:17] <ikonia> pink^panther just ask the question
[03:17] <kingcobra> hello

[03:17] <spinz8r> .
[03:17] <CheshireViking> Enverex, i haven't spent any time trying to work out why it doesn't work yet - so if anybody comes up with an answer, I'll be watching with interest
[03:17] <Nomikos> Hints on rotating and compressing AVI movies, anyone?
[03:18] <ikonia> pink^panther clearly I didn't see it or I wouldn't ask you to ask again
[03:18] <pink^panther> ok
[03:18] <Pelo> spinz8r, cp to the proper dir , and rm filename
[03:18] <tidrion> how difficult is it to reinstall the linux kernel?
[03:18] <Enverex> CheshireViking, It worked perfectly on Gentoo, so unless something big has changed since I used to use it...
[03:18] <ikonia> PriceChild which is you ?
[03:18] <Pelo> spinz8r, ls to dsplay the files
[03:18] <pink^panther> my problem is that after I'e upgraded to version 7.04, my fetchmail don't work properly anymore
[03:18] <tidrion> I'm getting Invalid compressed format (err=1)
[03:18] <PriceChild> ikonia: ?
[03:18] <kingcobra> how would i change the permissions of a filesystem to allow at least the current user full permissions
[03:18] <ndee> how can I add a program to the autostart that requires root priviliges?
[03:18] <ikonia> PriceChild wrong channel -sorry
[03:18] <Pelo> ndee,   sudo progname as a command line
[03:19] <pink^panther> running fetchmail -v shows that it has logged into port 110 of my remote server but stop at the top 1 999999999 command
[03:19] <pink^panther> is there a way to solve this?
[03:20] <pink^panther> ikonia... any solution?
[03:20] <tondar> is there a plugin for deluge to start and stop download at a given time?
[03:20] <ndee> Pelo, thx
[03:21] <kingcobra> does anybody know how to mount a filesystem with full permissions for current user
[03:21] <Pelo> tondar, deluge is in its infancy ,  I donT' think there is much fluff yet
[03:21] <pink^panther> it was running properly before I upgrade to version 7.04
[03:21] <tondar> Pelo: any other choices?
[03:21] <Pelo> kingcobra,  it should mount like that automaticaly,  try reading the man page for more info  man mount
[03:21] <Pelo> tondar, utorrent on wine
[03:21] <Mishaal> can the hackers attack ubuntu ???
[03:22] <tondar> Pelo: k
[03:22] <kingcobra> either setting current user as owner and giving them full permissions or root as owner with group full perissions
[03:22] <Pelo> Mishaal,  what hackers ?
[03:22] <Mishaal> spy
[03:22] <kingcobra> Pelo, it doesnt because of this hal problem

[03:22] <spinz8r> Pelo: listed files hv no beryl config. indicated or shall i need to issue commands. need handholding guidance. just want my ubuntu back. tks
[03:23] <SlimeyPete> Mishaal: some hackers can, but it's harder for them to attack Ubuntu than it is for them to attack Windows
[03:23] <Enverex> CheshireViking, Didn't work, it's not scanning now but it's not connecting... ifconfig shows "invalid nwid" going up and up
[03:23] <Pelo> Mishaal,  linux is more secure then other os by default, but if you behave stupidly there is nothing that will protect you,  donT' run stuff as root, avoid nasty sites,  don'T open unknonw email attachements
[03:24] <pink^panther> hmmm
[03:24] <tondar> wine in the repos?
[03:24] <pink^panther> stil no solution for my prob
[03:24] <SnapLinux> they cant do anything unless they get your keyring or root passwords
[03:24] <Mishaal> ohh that means there is a chance for hackers to spy on linux ?? Pelo
[03:24] <tondar> is wine in the repos?

[03:25] <Pelo> Mishaal, it you are that paranoid you shouldn'T use a computer
[03:25] <CheshireViking> Enverex, I don't what to suggest, my pcmcia card worked straight off once I changed to a manual configuration - I'm not at the machine at the minute so I can't check what settings i've got to compare with yours either
[03:25] <bootsmorris> how do i switch to the winehq channel
[03:25] <pink^panther> doesn't seems like anyone here can help me
[03:25] <Tom47> Mishaal and if you run wine then you have many of the "exposures" as windows though nobody is doing any attacking right now
[03:25] <Enverex> bootsmorris, Update to .36 before joining that channel
[03:25] <Pelo> tondar, it should , you might have to turn on some extra repos but you can install wine with aptituce
[03:25] <SnapLinux> type /join #winehq
[03:25] <bootsmorris> update what??
[03:25] <sdf> tom47 help please
[03:25] <Enverex> bootsmorris, ... Wine, obviously

[03:27] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[03:27] <sdf> pelo how can  i find themes for ubuntu??
[03:27] <Pelo> kingcobra,  gksu nautilus /pathtomountpoint
[03:28] <kdubois_> kingcobra, if you're not, you should get familiar with filesystem commands..... but if you're bent on using a gui, then make sure the drive is mounted so that its not read only, and you have 777 permissions.....
[03:28] <zaggynl> !themes
[03:28] <ubotu> Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy

[03:30] <kingcobra> Pelo, this install is working ok
[03:31] <Pelo> kingcobra,  I beg to differ,  you can'T get hal to work,  that's not what I call ok
[03:31] <kingcobra> Pelo, i thought i could just connect a hd and copy over
[03:31] <driverz> Pelo... The install is finally proceeding. The first several partitioning schemes resulted in the installer claiming there was no /root partition - but it was there with the correct mount point. I had to put the / partition in the middle of the disk before it quit complaining. We'll see what happens
[03:31] <Pelo> kingcobra,  you can
[03:31] <kingcobra> Pelo, :) its not great alright
[03:32] <gerry_> hello, where can i get alsa lib and headers?

[03:33] <Pelo> driverz, that is one more then me
[03:33] <driverz> LOL

[03:51] <Trae> Ran Ubuntu 6.10 forever, no problme at all,...
[03:51] <Trae> just upgraded to new version
[03:51] <Trae> and I keep getting video lockups
[03:52] <Enverex> Trae, What video card and drivers?
[03:52] <shane_> Anyone here?
[03:52] <Trae> Enverex, sec
[03:52] <SnapLinux> ubuntu is easier than windows on this old P3 1ghz but pain in the butt on my new AMD64.....i think M$ is paying someone to NOT support Linux
[03:52] <Enverex> shane_, Silly question to ask in a channel with nearly 1300 people
[03:53] <Trae> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600/GeForce 6600 GT]  (rev a2)
[03:53] <shane_> Yes! they are. Okay I need a hand. How do I install a program on ubuntu? Like, with the .tar.gz
[03:53] <Trae> and let's see... how can I ascertain the drivers/
[03:53] <Trae> drivers?
[03:53] <Enverex> SnapLinux, Or it could be because AMD64 has been around a lot less time than i386...
[03:53] <shane_> SnapLinux: How do I install a program using the .tar?
[03:53] <SnapLinux> shane_ theres many ways but i usually click it and let pacage manager do it for me
[03:54] <shane_> SnapLinux:Where did you get package manager?
[03:54] <cabuloso> whats the command to chmod a folder recursively to anyone have all powers ?? plz
[03:54] <SnapLinux> should have installed w/ ubuntu
[03:54] <Enverex> SnapLinux, Erm, that wont work for Tar files as they're source, not .deb files
[03:54] <CheshireViking> shane_, before you go  trying to install from a tar.gz, have you looked in synaptic to see there is a package already available, if it is, it'll save a lot of work
[03:54] <SnapLinux> click the tarball see if it opens
[03:54] <Enverex> cabuloso, chmod -R 777 /place
[03:54] <thoreauputic> cabuloso: that is usually a very bad idea
[03:55] <shane_> Tarball opens with Archive manager
[03:55] <shane_> Where is Synaptic?
[03:55] <cabuloso> thoreauputic: i know, its just for a while
[03:55] <SnapLinux> maybe extract it and look for a readme file
[03:56] <Enverex> shane_, heh, you're not gonna do well trying to compile from source if you don't know what the archive even is. Look for a package in Apt
[03:56] <cabuloso> Enverex: thanks a lot man, saved my life
[03:56] <shane_> Enverex: I got linux yesterday and have never used it before.
[03:56] <Enverex> shane_, I guessed
[03:56] <telejedi> is there a possibility to backup my hole system with just one rsync-command ???
[03:57] <telejedi> i mean whole not hole :-)
[03:57] <shane_> So what am I looking for in Apt
[03:57] <SnapLinux> shane_ enverex is right most anything you need can be got by the add remove or through synaptic
[03:57] <Izem> how can I open thunderbird profile manager
[03:57] <shane_> Where is synaptic!

[03:58] <Enverex> SnapLinux, Well... there's lots that can't, but compiling is not easy for newbies, heh
[03:58] <Izem> how can I open profile manager in terminal?
[03:58] <stefg> !wifi | Kubuntu , rather ask in #kubuntu and

[04:00] <shane_> Alright scrap it
[04:00] <shane_> I'll linux myself :)
[04:00] <shane_> One last question, Is there any pretty desktop backgrounds with the linux penguin?
[04:00] <SnapLinux> firefox should have installed with ubuntu
[04:00] <stefg> !synaptic | shane_
[04:00] <telejedi> how do i sys-backup with rsync ?

[04:02] <ml--> im trying to install ubuntu edgy server edition on an old iMac. at the end of the installation i get "unable to install yaboot in /target/", so i never get yaboot installed. is there some kind of workaround for this?
[04:02] <SnapLinux> people in here more than happy to help
[04:02] <ml--> maybe to boot via cd, get into the shell, and install yaboot manually via apt?
[04:02] <stefg> !automatix | Izem
[04:02] <ubotu> Izem: Automatix2 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

[04:08] <Izem> i reinstalled TB 1.5 with synaptic but ./mozilla-thunderbird -profilemanager in terminal makes nothing
[04:09] <thoreauputic> heroin: e.g.  /usr/local/bin/your-script-here
[04:09] <phy2> Xplore, keep opening things
[04:09] <Kaso> Say i have a file which i want to strip all newline charaters from, what would be the best way to go about that? Gedit seems to crash due to the number of them or something
[04:09] <heroin> thoreauputic:  ok i will test it now :X
[04:09] <SnapLinux> we got it working yesterday , on the 64bit, but wine wouldnt display any butto icons
[04:09] <heroin> nothing happends
[04:09] <ompaul> Hi everyone a large group of unbans are about to take place
[04:09] <phy2> Xplore, when your physical ram gets full (or close) then watch swap
[04:09] <thoreauputic> heroin: although that is a bad example since /usr/local/bin/ is in the PATH anyway

[04:10] <SnapLinux> holy crap\

[04:10] <thoreauputic> heroin: you need to prepend "wine" i think
[04:10] <ikonia> Izem what is the problem
[04:11] <heroin> thoreauputic:  wine is the command and the rest is the url to file which needs to be wined
[04:11] <Izem> how can I launch profile manager in terminal?
[04:11] <ikonia> Izem profile manager ?
[04:11] <ikonia> Izem sorry I don't know what you mean by profile manager

[04:12] <Izem> what the clue for my little problem??
[04:12] <AhmedTheGreat> I have installed Ubuntu, and after I enabled my VGA, everytime I turn on my system, I get a black screen instead of the log in screen.
[04:13] <ikonia> Izem I don't understand what your asking
[04:13] <thoreauputic> heroin: I was just saying I don't know about wine - someone else might help you though
[04:13] <ikonia> AhmedTheGreat enabled vga ?

[04:13] <heroin> Anyone know how to create a shortcut for executing a program?
[04:14] <Mutal1ty> whats the best Bittorrent client for Ubuntu?
[04:14] <accept> Does Feisty have a firewall installed by default?
[04:14] <phy2> !best
[04:14] <ikonia> Mutal1ty thats just personal opinion, try them
[04:14] <accept> !firewall
[04:14] <ubotu> Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[04:14] <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).
[04:14] <ikonia> accept iptables is the firewall, but you need to script your own rules
[04:14] <stefg> rosaunte: i'd recommend xubuntu on that... gnome/kde are happier with 256 MB
[04:14] <Mutal1ty> where might I find a list?
[04:14] <ikonia> Mutal1ty in synaptic
[04:14] <rosaunte> ok, thanx!!!
[04:14] <AhmedTheGreat> ikonia, my nvidia vga was set on "Not in use"..
[04:14] <ml--> stefg: looks like some poeple experience the same issue
[04:14] <AhmedTheGreat> I enabled it.
[04:15] <ikonia> AhmedTheGreat where was that set ?
[04:15] <Mutal1ty> the Package Manager?
[04:15] <Xplore> !ntfs-3g
[04:15] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[04:15] <ikonia> Mutal1ty yes, thats usually where you find packages
[04:15] <timmi> when i open a program with the bash and i close the bash afterwards the program also closes, how do i have to open the programs in the bash so that i can use the bash for other things?
[04:15] <AhmedTheGreat> Then it has asked me to restart, and ever since then I can't get to the login screen, I get the loading screen then poof black screen.
[04:15] <stefg> ml--: so did i... i recall having the drive repartitioned 2 or 3 times until i got it right
[04:15] <Mutal1ty> sorry I'm new to all this
[04:15] <ikonia> AhmedTheGreat where did you "enable" vga
[04:15] <thoreauputic> timmi: append & after the command
[04:15] <Mutal1ty> I used redhat a few years ago, but no releases since then

[04:17] <Mutal1ty> is it the Live CD?

[04:17] <LjL> ew, you scared me
[04:17] <AhmedTheGreat> ikonia.. There was this dialog when I first started ubuntu, it was called "Restricted drivers" or something similar.
[04:17] <valehru_> thoreauputic, I already said sorry, maybe you should speak to ompaul and pricey
[04:18] <thoreauputic> valehru: they are doing maintenance
[04:18] <ikonia> ompaul why did zeroreblic get banned
[04:18] <Mutal1ty> I'm trying to get OSS to work with my Audigy XFi
[04:18] <thoreauputic> valehru: has to be done sometimes
[04:18] <ompaul> ikonia, we are just unbanning
[04:18] <AhmedTheGreat> It even shows up "the option to enable my nvidia vga that is" when I try to enable desktop effects.
[04:18] <valehru_> thoreauputic, so am I...
[04:18] <valehru_> ;)
[04:18] <Mutal1ty> I have the one with the drive bay thing
[04:18] <AhmedTheGreat> It says that I must install its driver first.
[04:18] <AhmedTheGreat> So I did.
[04:18] <valehru_> anyhow, anyone have a clue about that problem?
[04:18] <ikonia> ompaul I noticed him in the list, how come he got banned
[04:18] <ikonia> mistake ?
[04:18] <RapidStorm> Mutal1ty: it starts up when i reboot
[04:18] <ompaul> ikonia, lets have a look in the other place
[04:18] <ikonia> ok
[04:18] <RapidStorm> off cd
[04:18] <calin> how can I import all my email from Windows Thunderbird to ubuntu thunderbird (i'm new to ubuntu/linux) ?

[04:19] <Mutal1ty> the installation, did you do it through the ubuntu live cd?

[04:19] <ompaul> ikonia, msg if you need more
[04:19] <heroin> could someone please help me create a shortcut for this?
[04:19] <Mutal1ty> if so there was a section in the installation about partitions

[04:20] <AhmedTheGreat> ?
[04:20] <crusie> how do I get apt-get to ignore a package?
[04:20] <Mutal1ty> its good to know the sizes of your partitions beforehand so that you don't accidentally delete the wrong one
[04:20] <Hewus> calin: I did the same thing a few weeks ago. Grab the folder through c:/documents and settings/application data/Thunderbird...etc and put it in ~/.mozilla-thunderbird
[04:21] <Arry> hi, can anyone help me sor out my sound issues, please?
[04:21] <crusie> anyone ?
[04:21] <ppcUser> how do you get hotmail to work in evolution?
[04:21] <Zoffix> Hi, I've already started upgrade to Fiesty but I did not update my system to be most current one before I started the upgrade. Is that fatal?
[04:21] <SnapLinux> crusie i learned how to do that in portage sorry cant hep w/ adept it frightens and confuses me lol
[04:21] <stefg> !sound | Arry
[04:21] <ubotu> Arry: 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
[04:21] <ml--> stefg: ok. we're on the case trying to get the partitions right now.
[04:21] <Zoffix> ppcUser, IIRC they don't have POP services.
[04:21] <RapidStorm> Mutal1ty: how do u partition if yr hard drive just has one
[04:21] <ml--> stefg: im not sure how big a boot-partition should be though
[04:21] <crusie> SnapLinux: it portage?
[04:21] <stefg> ml--: 1m is enough
[04:22] <crusie> SnapLinux: you mean by synaptic?
[04:22] <Arry> thanks ubotu
[04:22] <Mutal1ty> does that drive have windows on it already?
[04:22] <AhmedTheGreat> ?
[04:22] <RapidStorm> yes
[04:22] <SnapLinux> crusie no sorry prtage is gentoos package manager.....ubuntu uses adept
[04:22] <crusie> ah :(
[04:22] <SnapLinux> portage*
[04:22] <colo_work> any hint where I could find help regarding m*therf*ck*ng Citrix on freenode?
[04:22] <Mutal1ty> ok, first you wanna run the drive cleanup wizard in windows
[04:22] <Polis_ttt> anyone that got a tip of a simple statistic-script that i can run, like php-script or so, that shows the load of my server? like cpu and networkload?
[04:22] <SnapLinux> the commands are similar but different
[04:23] <Mutal1ty> its a good idea to defrag as well
[04:23] <xxxxx1> anyone here is using reiser4?
[04:23] <LjL> snaplinux, ubuntu uses Synaptic, kubuntu uses Adept
[04:23] <thoreauputic> SnapLinux: actually kubuntu uses adept and ubuntu uses synaptic
[04:23] <crusie> so noone has any ideas? I'd have to reinstall for the 3rd time today then..
[04:23] <thoreauputic> LjL: :)
[04:23] <Mutal1ty> then start up the installation
[04:23] <Izem> I did it
[04:23] <RapidStorm> Mutal1ty: i defaged and deleted all temp files and all that
[04:23] <Mutal1ty> keep in mind linux usually makes more than one partition
[04:23] <AhmedTheGreat> Anyone can help?
[04:23] <SnapLinux> well whsatever i got ubuntu kbuntu and xbuntu installed
[04:23] <Mutal1ty> like the "SWAP" partition
[04:24] <RapidStorm> Mutal1ty: so make it about 8 or 9gb then?
[04:24] <Hewus> calin: the exact path is C:/Documents and Settings/yourname/Application Data/Thunderbird/Profiles/xxxxxxxx.default/Mail -> /home/yourname/.mozilla-thunderbird/xxxxxxxx.default/Mail
[04:24] <SnapLinux> whatever it is its different than portage by far.....i hate portage
[04:24] <thoreauputic> crusie: why do you need to make apt ignore a package?
[04:24] <Mutal1ty> you Downloaded Feisty 7.04 from the Ubuntu side correct?
[04:24] <stefg> crusie: what package is it that apt is complaining about?
[04:24] <RapidStorm> yeah
[04:24] <Mutal1ty> how large is your HD?
[04:24] <crusie> becuause it gives me an error after installed a package for my printer
[04:24] <Izem> i tell you g'd bye
[04:25] <RapidStorm> Mutal1ty: 160gb
[04:25] <Mutal1ty> how mush free space does it have?
[04:25] <Mutal1ty> much*
[04:25] <crusie> hl1440lpr to be excat
[04:25] <RapidStorm> 135gb
[04:25] <Kubuntu> #ubot
[04:25] <RapidStorm> or there about
[04:25] <thoreauputic> crusie: put the error on a pastebin then and link to it
[04:25] <kbrosnan> calin, Hewus you should follow http://kb.mozillazine.org/Migrating_settings_to_a_new_profile and don't move over the whole folder
[04:25] <tihiy> hi guys! my nautilus dint want to show contents of LAN! help me!

[04:25] <ubotu> crusie: 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)
[04:25] <SnapLinux> 15 gigs is plenty for all i need .....use the rest as one big storage drive

[04:26] <crusie> the one from apt-get or from synaptec?
[04:26] <ml--> stefg: ok. thanks.
[04:26] <thoreauputic> crusie: apt-get preferably
[04:26] <crusie> oki
[04:26] <LjL> SnapLinux: anyway i'm not sure how adept or any package manager has to do with getting hotmail to work in evolution...? i mean, i suppose you could be thinking of a plug-in, but i can see none anyway
[04:26] <AhmedTheGreat> Is there a way to go back to default settings?
[04:26] <tihiy> my nautilus dont want to show contents of LAN! what have i to do???
[04:26] <RapidStorm> Mutal1ty: well like dual boot
[04:26] <SnapLinux> oh i dont use evolution...never ran it

[04:27] <stefg> crusie: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=470122
[04:27] <Mutal1ty> when you go boot the cd up, select the first option
[04:27] <SnapLinux> he wanted to be able to exclude a certain package from updating.....
[04:27] <RapidStorm> ok
[04:27] <Mutal1ty> it will boot ubuntu up in live mode3
[04:27] <Mutal1ty> mode*
[04:27] <RapidStorm> and it will not del windows
[04:27] <Mutal1ty> there will be an install icon on the desktop
[04:28] <tihiy> hi! my nautilus dont want to show the contents of LAN! what do i have to do? help please!
[04:28] <Mutal1ty> it doesnt start the install when you select the first one, it actually RUNs the OS
[04:28] <SnapLinux> and i was saying i learned how to edit my make file for portage to keep world update from doin that but i did not know how to do it w/ adept
[04:28] <Mutal1ty> you install from the OS

[04:30] <Mutal1ty> the cd will show a menu
[04:30] <RapidStorm> Mutal1ty: ok
[04:30] <RapidStorm> yeah
[04:30] <crusie> thoreauputic: it's not just whith this file... it's no matter what I do in apt-get or synaptic
[04:30] <madduck> i just installed feisty on a laptop and now when i start, after grub, it says "Starting up" and then has a black screen until gdm has started
[04:30] <Mutal1ty> you select the first option on that menu

[04:30] <madduck> where is the fancy splash?
[04:30] <RapidStorm> got it
[04:30] <Mutal1ty> and it will start the OS (Ubuntu) FROM the ced
[04:30] <Mutal1ty> CD*
[04:30] <madduck> i did not make any changes or remove any packages...
[04:30] <RapidStorm> ok
[04:30] <SnapLinux> thx LjL interesting
[04:30] <pord> any1 know how to get a nebula electronics digiTV PCI freeview card  working on feisty 64bit?
[04:31] <thoreauputic> crusie: try sudo apt-get -f install && sudo dpkg --configure -a
[04:31] <soundray> madduck: the splash screen uses a standard VESA mode which, apparently, your system doesn't support. Remove the "quiet splash" options from menu.lst to see boot messages in text mode.
[04:31] <Mutal1ty> it will be slower than from a HD, because your disc drive is much slower, but after Ubuntu boots in live mode, there will be the Install icon on the Workspace, also, before you install you can look around the OS, check out its programs and stuff
[04:31] <Mutal1ty> decide if its the distro for you
[04:32] <SnapLinux> I took a walk on the darkside for awhile with Sabayon Gentoo......was nice until it was time to update.......farkin nightmare

[04:32] <BruceW> Hi, I'm running Ubuntu from a live CD for the first time.  Could someone help with a problem I have please? I have two screens (1xDVI @ 1440x900 & 1xVGA @1024x768) attached to an HP DX2200 via an Asus EAX300SE-X TD 128Mb PCI graphics card.  Can anyone tell how to configure Ubuntu to recognise the two screens individually not as a cloned screen?
[04:32] <valehru_> 2.6.16.29-xen is edgy right?
[04:33] <crusie> thoreauputic: no ideas?
[04:33] <madduck> soundray: but i saw the splash during the install... i mean when caspar booted
[04:33] <stefg> killerbunny: that's gnome... you are not going to change it, it's designed that way
[04:33] <thoreauputic> crusie: I gave you commands above
[04:33] <RapidStorm> Mutal1ty: ok just to clarifly will it ask me to partition the drive
[04:33] <Mutal1ty> you can actually get back in here from the live CD Rapid
[04:33] <crusie> ah sorry
[04:33] <killerbunny> stefg, cant i add/remove items on it ?
[04:33] <thoreauputic> crusie: [00:31:26]  thoreauputic crusie: try sudo apt-get -f install && sudo dpkg --configure -a
[04:33] <Mutal1ty> yes
[04:33] <killerbunny> Eg. i have "change background", but i want eg. terminal
[04:34] <killerbunny> ls
[04:34] <Mutal1ty> first it will show you your windows installation and ask if you want to "add other accounts"
[04:34] <soundray> madduck: you can try fixing the VESA mode with the vga= kernel boot option. Start with 'vga=ask' and enter 'scan' at the prompt at boot time.
[04:34] <RapidStorm> ok\
[04:34] <stefg> killerbunny: speaking of the right-click desktop menu? No... the 'Interface-Nazis' (quote from Linus T.) don't want you to do that
[04:34] <Mutal1ty> make sure you put a checkbox on it so the Dual boot GRUB menu will contain your windows install
[04:34] <killerbunny> stefg, thats broken
[04:34] <RapidStorm> ok
[04:34] <crusie> thoreauputic: this is what I got http://pastebin.co.uk/14179
[04:35] <RapidStorm> will do
[04:35] <Mutal1ty> then it will show you your drives and ask you about partitions
[04:35] <RapidStorm> ok
[04:35] <RapidStorm> and go 15gb?
[04:35] <Mutal1ty> make sure you don't select "whole drive"
[04:35] <AhmedTheGreat> Is there a command to restore default settings of ubunto?
[04:35] <Mutal1ty> yes
[04:35] <killerbunny> stefg, gnome just lost points in my book, but thx for the help. I have been spending a few days tryong to fix that
[04:35] <RapidStorm> ok
[04:35] <Mutal1ty> 15 shoud be plenty
[04:35] <matthew_> how do I give a user write access to a mount poin?
[04:35] <thoreauputic> crusie: looks like a bug in the post removal script
[04:35] <matthew_> how do I give a user write access to a mount point?
[04:35] <soundray> AhmedTheGreat: you can reinstall or restore from your backup.
[04:35] <crusie> thoreauputic: so what do I do ?
[04:36] <Mutal1ty> after that its pretty straight forward
[04:36] <crusie> reinstall ?
[04:36] <pord> any1 know how to get a nebula electronics digiTV PCI freeview card  working on feisty 64bit?
[04:36] <madduck> soundray: thanks, will try
[04:36] <thoreauputic> crusie: try just  sudo dpkg --reconfigure -a
[04:36] <stefg> killerbunny: all you can add is templates for certain document types
[04:36] <AhmedTheGreat> Don't have any back up. ._.
[04:36] <RapidStorm> ok ty 4 all yr help will be back
[04:36] <Mutal1ty> once its done and you reboot you should see the "Grub Menu" for selecting your OS
[04:36] <thoreauputic> crusie: else you might have to force remove it
[04:36] <computermc> QUERY BruceW
[04:36] <soundray> AhmedTheGreat: get into the habit of making backups.
[04:36] <Mutal1ty> okies, good luck
[04:36] <RapidStorm> ok
[04:36] <RapidStorm> ty ty
[04:37] <crusie> thoreauputic: doesn't seem to be a correct syntax
[04:37] <matthew_> how do I set a certain directory to be read/write for a certain group?
[04:37] <thoreauputic> crusie: sudo dpkg --reconfigure -a   ?
[04:37] <soundray> AhmedTheGreat: if it's just your desktop settings that are messed up, you can remove all gnome-related settings from your user home.

[05:00] <fr0nk> (not bash or something you know) :D
[05:00] <marshall_> hey guys
[05:01] <marshall_> how do you disable IPv6?
[05:01] <ramezhanna> what repos do i need to be able to install tomcat5.5 on ubuntu dapper
[05:01] <soundray> fr0nk: it could mean "test whether b is unequal c and assign the test result to a"
[05:01] <mc44> fr0nk: a equals b not equal to c?
[05:01] <gonnaeatthat> ROnewbi1, contact me on gaim gonnaeatthatnet
[05:01] <systimax> is there a way to save the cd contents on the hard-drive so the ubunut server stops asking for the cd everytime i install a package ?
[05:01] <dabaR> AhmedTheGreat: do you know what the name of the package is that installed nvidia vga?
[05:01] <ROnewbi1> yahoo mess ?
[05:01] <gonnaeatthat> ROnewbi1,  I do not want to bog the chat down with what I got to tell you :)
[05:01] <ROnewbi1> gonnaeatthat: how about private here ?
[05:02] <soundray> fr0nk: or it could mean "test if a equals b, then test if the numeric result unequals c".
[05:02] <SnapLinux> well im off into blenderland   going to learn me how to use new sculpting tools
[05:02] <gonnaeatthat> ROnewbi1, okay
[05:02] <stefg> matej: http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki
[05:02] <dabaR> systimax: you should comment out(put # on the beggining of) the line that has the CD entry in /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:02] <AhmedTheGreat> I think nvidia-glx or something like that
[05:02] <SnapLinux> almost as good as Zbrush i hear
[05:02] <dabaR> AhmedTheGreat: can you find out?
[05:02] <soundray> SnapLinux: quick question for you about blender... ?
[05:03] <AhmedTheGreat> How?
[05:03] <ImMortaL> so
[05:03] <fr0nk> thanks everyone
[05:03] <SnapLinux> shoot
[05:03] <ROnewbi1> gonnaeatthat: I can see your lines in private, can you see mine ?
[05:03] <ImMortaL> what u ppl saying about the new version? (7.04)
[05:03] <ROnewbi1> gonnaeatthat: how do I register my name ?
[05:03] <systimax> thanks
[05:03] <ramezhanna> i can find tomcat5.5 on 7.04 but not on dapper
[05:03] <gonnaeatthat> I sent you instructions
[05:03] <ImMortaL> what u ppl saying about the new version? (7.04)
[05:03] <mc44> ImMortaL: what do you mean?
[05:03] <ramezhanna> how do i get tomcat5.5?
[05:03] <ImMortaL> is it good
[05:03] <mc44> ImMortaL: yes
[05:03] <dabaR> AhmedTheGreat: this may be the way: run "aptitude search nvidia" in that console window(alt-ctrl-f5), see what results come up with i on the beginning of the lien
[05:03] <ImMortaL> better then the others
[05:03] <soundray> SnapLinux: can you load 3D volume images, ie. an x-y bitmap for z slices?
[05:03] <ImMortaL> has bugs?
[05:03] <mc44> ImMortaL: yes
[05:03] <mc44> ImMortaL: yes
[05:04] <ImMortaL> as every software ur saying huh? ;)
[05:04] <mc44> ImMortaL: yes
[05:04] <mc44> ImMortaL: (this is easy) :)
[05:04] <ImMortaL> do love sex?

[05:05] <SnapLinux> no animate not texture
[05:05] <soundray> SnapLinux: okay, thx
[05:05] <stefg> ImMortaL: why not D/L a Deskto-CD, testdrive it and see yourself. Makes more sense than trolling...
[05:05] <soundray> SnapLinux: have fun
[05:05] <dabaR> ImMortaL: please stop making my screen scroll much without need. Maybe you can chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:05] <SnapLinux> soundray i shall....;) thx
[05:06] <dabaR> AhmedTheGreat: 1.hold down alt and ctrl, and press f5. 2. log in with your user name and password. 3. type "aptitude search nvidia", press enter. 4. write down the names of the packages that have the letter "i" on the beginning of their lines. 5. come back here and tell me the names.
[05:06] <SnapLinux> i like to just make models let the other guys texture them......im a sculpter at heart
[05:07] <SnapLinux> all that UV crap makes my brain hurt
[05:07] <kevkev832> how do i get out of >  cause that's all i see on my command prompt of UBUNTU server

[05:10] <soundray> kevkev832: Ctrl-C
[05:10] <dabaR> ramezhanna: you will have to compile it.
[05:10] <SnapLinux> funny Autodesk (who used to own 3d Studio) now owns Maya lol......bye bye maya they gonna run you into the ground
[05:11] <stefg> kevkev832: are you caught in vi ?
[05:11] <kevkev832> control c worked. i guess that was vi, i dont know, i'm new to this server thing and ubuntu linux.
[05:11] <swampmallard> Is there one standard place in the filesystem where ubuntu installs python modules?
[05:12] <r00t3r-j03> Is there any way for me to mount an FTP server as a drive?
[05:12] <soundray> kevkev832: no, that wasn't vi. ">" is the secondary shell prompt. It shows when you have entered an incomplete command.

[05:16] <marshall_> how do you disable IPv6 in ubuntu feisty?
[05:17] <soundray> !ipv6 > marshall_, please read the private message from ubotu
[05:17] <bootsmorris> will ubuntu automatically install my drivers for my NvIdia GForce FX Go 5200 Graphics Card?
[05:17] <marshall_> soundray: ok, thanks
[05:17] <stefg> bootsmorris: it takes one click to make it do so
[05:17] <SlimeyPete> bootsmorris: it'll install open source ones. For full 3D functionality you'll need to install the nvidia ones via the Restricted Hardware Manager (assuming that nvidia support your card on Linux)
[05:18] <argh> hi, i'd like to change my icons without using a particular theme... How can i? using 7.04
[05:18] <SnapLin> i think snaplin much better do you?
[05:18] <Jesus> hello children.
[05:18] <dabaR> argh: there is a tab in the theme manager for customization, which includes icons.
[05:18] <elliotjhug> anyone know where I can find log files for compiz/beryl?
[05:18] <dabaR> hi chef
[05:18] <bootsmorris> do i need to go to the nvidia web site to see if they have drivers?
[05:19] <stefg> bootno
[05:19] <SnapLin> yo biatche (jesus)
[05:19] <stefg> bootsmorris: no
[05:19] <bootsmorris> ok
[05:19] <robert_g> Q: Anyone know of the best SCO UNIX/Linus news group(s)?
[05:19] <argh> mmm but i can change icon's theme there...
[05:19] <bootsmorris> how do i check and see?  do i need to go to the restricted drivers manager?
[05:19] <SlimeyPete> bootsmorris: yup
[05:19] <Pelo> how do I unload a module ?
[05:20] <stefg> !offtopic | robert_g
[05:20] <AhmedTheGreat> dabaR, now, I don't have an interface anymore, how can I fix that? >.>
[05:20] <ubotu> robert_g: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[05:20] <dabaR> AhmedTheGreat: what interface? you mean the graphical user interface?
[05:20] <AhmedTheGreat> Yes.
[05:20] <argh> you mean tab in the window opened after pushing customize? (i dont got english version)
[05:21] <rbd> how would I check which version of a specific package I have installed on my system? I see there is an apt-show-versions utility, but there has to be a way without having to install this utility
[05:21] <Mutal1ty> problem time
[05:21] <Morrissey> hi, I am trying to open a file with VLC, but when I right click a file, and open with -> VLC, it justs open vld ... it doesnt actually start playing the file ... any ideas?

[05:22] <n0urs-> salut tout le monde
[05:22] <elliotjhug> Mutal1ty:  whats the actual problem?
[05:22] <dabaR> AhmedTheGreat: well, I am not sure. Try typing "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart" in that same place, and then press enter. I am going to use run "" instead of type "" and press enter from now on in our conversation.
[05:22] <dyrne> rbd: dpkg -l or -L i forget and | grep -i packagename
[05:22] <LjL> !fr | n0urs-
[05:22] <Mutal1ty> I did the fstab edits

[05:22] <n0urs-> ok
[05:23] <Mutal1ty> I added the line [/dev/sdb2 /media/windows ntfs-3g defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 0]

[05:23] <RapidStorm> question: getting errors on installing here are some i wrote down: can't access tty job control off, [41.784761]  ata5 port failed to respond (30 secs Status 0xd0)
[05:23] <AhmedTheGreat> dabaR I may need to install the nvidia thing again.
[05:24] <Mutal1ty> it gives me the error:  Failed to mount '/dev/sdb2': Input/output error
[05:24] <Mutal1ty> NTFS is inconsistent. Run chkdsk /f on Windows then reboot it TWICE!
[05:24] <LjL> well, maybe try doing what it says
[05:24] <Mutal1ty> ... I no longer have windows :|
[05:24] <rbd> thanks guys
[05:24] <AhmedTheGreat> dabaR, because it gave me a message saying "Failed to start the X server (your graphical interface)." and stuff..
[05:24] <Enverex> Mutal1ty, Use the force option
[05:24] <Mutal1ty> force?
[05:24] <LjL> Mutal1ty, Linux can barely read/write to NTFS, it certainly cannot correct filesystem errors reliably (or at all). if the filesystem is unclean, you need windows.
[05:24] <argh> mmm is there a particula chan for desktop custumisation?
[05:24] <M_42> use the force mutal1lty
[05:25] <Mutal1ty> hmmm
[05:25] <LjL> Mutal1ty: if you force, and the filesystem actually *was* corrupted, and you write to it, you're likely to destroy it.
[05:25] <Mutal1ty> ok
[05:25] <dyrne> argh: there is ubuntu-effects but its mostly 3d accel stuff
[05:25] <RapidStorm> Mutal1ty: getting errors on installing here are some i wrote down: can't access tty job control off, [41.784761]  ata5 port failed to respond (30 secs Status 0xd0)

[05:33] <soundray> madduck: you could try setting up the kernel framebuffer driver, if there is one for your card.
[05:33] <madduck> soundray: way too much effort for such a tiny glitch
[05:33] <soundray> madduck: I can only wave in the general direction, not help you in detail with this
[05:34] <madduck> soundray: instead i'll tell the user that's it's a design choice to position the logo asymmetrically. :)
[05:34] <Enverex> Why isn't Mozilla Seamonkey in Apt?
[05:34] <soundray> madduck: well, framebuffer drivers can sometimes do other cool things.
[05:34] <z3r0ph3wl> hej, maybe somebody knows any good app for ubuntu optimization?
[05:34] <SoulChild> bernet: u mean i should uncomment all lines with this module name ?
[05:34] <madduck> soundray: she wants a laptop to surf the internet. no more.
[05:34] <Parmenion> hey guys
[05:34] <CCmonster> Heya people
[05:34] <soundray> madduck: do have a look at the other files next to vesafb.txt in that directory.

[05:34] <SnapLin> oh god the market cruising (forex -spot)....i cant do my blender tutes now i got to make moneyy
[05:35] <madduck> soundray: maybe another day. now i must do laundry. :/
[05:35] <soundray> madduck: in that case, have it boot just with 'quiet' but without 'splash'
[05:35] <dabaR> AhmedTheGreat: I am not sure
[05:35] <SnapLin> Anyone els trade 4x for living?
[05:35] <r00t3r-j03> SpaceBass: Errm, It's Xubuntu, But i will hapily switch to gnome if thats a problem..
[05:35] <oldude67> ok im going to put my windows hard drive in this machine will i have to make any major changes or will it auto let me do a duo boot?
[05:35] <Mutal1ty> can anyone look over this fstab line and tell me if there are errors? :      /dev/sda1 /media/windows vfat user,auto,fmask=0111,dmask=0000 0 0
[05:35] <soundray> madduck: I bet she'll like it just as much :)
[05:35] <SpaceBass> r00t3r-j03, no... it should work...im just not as farmiliar with xubuntu
[05:35] <dyrne> r00t3r-j03: whats the problem again?

[05:37] <AhmedTheGreat> Is there a way to use standard stuff? or keep the nvidia thingy "not in use" ?
[05:37] <oldude67> i would just reformat the hard drive and run linux on it but it has all my pics and music on it...well until about 3 weeks ago...

[05:37] <Mutal1ty> noone?
[05:38] <ee99ee> I'm on a remote box, and I just noticed my fstab looks weird: "UUID=d8bdee75-489b-4043-8744-e6e4d028c836 /               xfs     defaults        0       1"
[05:38] <uros> wow mess here :)
[05:38] <ee99ee> is that something screwed up, or is that normal
[05:38] <dooglus> ee99ee: it's normal
[05:38] <ee99ee> I'm afraid to reboot it to find out, b/c I'd have to drive 3 hours :)
[05:38] <oldude67> ok let me ask this...my  windows computer is on the same network, how can i copy the files i want to save over to this machine?
[05:38] <ee99ee> dooglus: okay thanks
[05:38] <CCmonster> i cannot for the life of me, get my bluetooth keyboard back up

[05:39] <dooglus> ee99ee: the 'xfs' bit is unusual, but I suspect you chose xfs on purpose, right?
[05:39] <CCmonster> my BT mouse is working fine, and loads up instantly within startup, but the flippin keyboard just wont....urg, it was working before and now...:O
[05:39] <ROnewbie> gonnaeatthat: no, it doesn't work

[05:49] <r00t3r-j03> SpaceBass:  but it didnt work
[05:49] <V15> hi, when i installed ubuntu earlier, the partition manager didnt give the option to resize my partitions, or create a new one, but just to install on /hdc, which i thought at the time was just the 10gb ext2 partition automounted. but now i have lost all of my other partitions, is there anyway i can recover this data?

[05:50] <SpaceBass> r00t3r-j03, I've never actually done what you are trying to do...but I have mounted volums using SSH and SFTP in gnome, just by using the "connect to server" menu
[05:50] <r00t3r-j03> SpaceBas Yep, i did a sudo apt-get install curlftpfs - I have just realised it deleted my ftp folder...
[05:50] <uros> ja
[05:51] <r00t3r-j03> I want to use it with BlueFish Editor.. But the connection i made with connect to server didnt show up..
[05:51] <V15> it would also be useful to know whether it did a quick or full format
[05:51] <z3r0ph3wl> magnetron, okay thanks for help but now i must go. i try to ask later ;)
[05:51] <stefg> V15: looks bad, because it's not only deleted, but overwritten. you could try if testdisk can still find something but chances are the installer did what you told him to do.... overwrite the disk
[05:51] <V15> ok, thanks
[05:51] <pepe_> Anyone knows if it is possible to make persistence (casper-rw) to work with 7.04?
[05:51] <chjunior> in ubuntu server edition, is there a front end for configure apache
[05:52] <V15> should the installer have had the option to create new partitions though? so i can know for next time
[05:52] <LjL> chjunior: err, as far as i know server edition comes with no GUI at all.
[05:52] <beep> [offtopic:survey]  please /msg beep your age, hair length [specify cm or inches] , and number of computers you have that boot
[05:52] <V15> i checked out both 'guided' and 'manual'
[05:52] <beep> V15, you choose "manually partion" to add new partions usually
[05:52] <chjunior> LjL, hummmm
[05:52] <chjunior> LjL, ok :D thanks
[05:53] <dyrne> V15: manual option is it. its not the most intuitive though. be easier if they just launched cfdisk imo
[05:53] <hc_> Is there any way I can make the back and forward buttons on my mouse working properly in 7.04? Looks like forward is right-click, and backwards is nothing.

[06:03] <shane_> Someone tell me how to get WINE!
[06:03] <soundray> marcin: it would help if you said what the problem is
[06:03] <haleq> sudo apt-get install wine
[06:03] <zaggynl> yer
[06:03] <zaggynl> !wine
[06:03] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.

[06:03] <haleq> ;P
[06:03] <marcin> soundray: it's about eclipse and wireless toolkit, I can't import any devices...
[06:03] <bobstro> wedontneed:  there's a line in /boot/grub/menu.lst. there you can enter whichever image you want to use.
[06:04] <haleq> whats Ubuntu squid?
[06:04] <stefg> berent: try !libdvdcss instead :-)

[06:04] <kevkev832> UBUNTU Squid Proxy.
[06:04] <FTMunch> Hi all, When I open Azureus it starts no probs then suddenly closes as soon as it has loaded?? any ideas?? im using feisty
[06:04] <bobstro> SnapLin:  the thought police will come for you.
[06:04] <haleq> reinstall it?
[06:04] <berent> stefg : whats that
[06:04] <mwik> !jboss
[06:04] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about jboss - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:04] <berent> !libdvdcss
[06:05] <bobstro> FTMunch:  stupid question, but you're sure it's not just minimizing to the tray?
[06:05] <ubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[06:05] <anto> Heya guys and girls,  i got a problem while trying to install feisty fawn on my portable, it says i have not selected a root partion please select in partition menu.
[06:05] <magnetron_> kevkev832: for installation, use Synaptic package manager. for configuration, see the documentation that Squid provide
[06:05] <soundray> marcin: you probably should.
[06:05] <shane_> Okay can someone actually start a private chat with me or something helping me to get WINE
[06:05] <berent> stefg : i want the keyboard controls for vlc
[06:05] <haleq> wine is not very easy to configure
[06:05] <FTMunch> yeah i checked, that, its defiantly halting the process for some reason.
[06:05] <magnetron_> !wine > shane_
[06:05] <shane_> Hence why I need help
[06:05] <haleq> fair enough
[06:05] <kevkev832> just where i can read to configure Squid, i've managed to install it already.  but i did it in the SERVER UBUNTU and there is no ubuntu-desktop so i can't use the synaptics.
[06:05] <wedontneed> bobstro: i enter menu.lst but i cant find where can i change design
[06:05] <Enverex> shane_, Don't bother with Wine until you learn how to use Linux
[06:05] <haleq> i know not though
[06:05] <SpaceBass> berent, vlc has many interfaces.... you can use the keyboard easily
[06:05] <stefg> FTMunch: azu - package is broken... try if deleting your ~/.azureus - dir brings things back to normal, else get the sourceforge package and replace the azureus.jar
[06:06] <haleq> try crossover
[06:06] <shane_> Enverex: But I need to use some .exes
[06:06] <haleq> its user friendly
[06:06] <soundray> anto: you have to select and format a partition on your drive to be the system or "root" partition. It's the one where the mountpoint is called "/"
[06:06] <berent> SpaceBass : I see only one!
[06:06] <haleq> go applications-ad/remove and select wine
[06:06] <Enverex> shane_, Would I be right in thinking that "need" = "want"?
[06:06] <haleq> then u can run exes
[06:06] <FTMunch> Thx stefg,,,,,i'll give it a go! c ya
[06:06] <stefg> berent: http://videolan.org
[06:06] <anto> soundray: okej gonna try
[06:06] <shane_> enverex:To an extent, no.
[06:06] <SpaceBass> berent, i came in late...just saw your last VLC comment...whats your goal?
[06:06] <Enverex> shane_, What "exes" anyway?
[06:06] <magnetron_> kevkev832: i remember the squid homepage having some nice documentation about configurating it.
[06:07] <shane_> Enverex: I can't tell you it's top secret
[06:07] <kevkev832> okay thanks all.
[06:07] <haleq> shane go add/remove and select wine
[06:07] <bobstro> wedontneed:  is there a line like splashimage=(hd0,1)/boot/grub/splashimages/KUBUNTU_splashscreen_blue_neon_logo_
[06:07] <bobstro> 03.xpm.gz
[06:07] <Enverex> shane_, Well expect no support then.
[06:07] <marcin> soundray: so, I've installed java, eclipse, eclipse me and wireless toolkit and when I go to Device management and import device, point WTK folder and when refresh I get nothnig...
[06:07] <berent> SpaceBass : when i try scrolling or forwarding the vcd in vlc it hangs.
[06:07] <haleq> then u can run exes by right clicking on them and selecting run with wine
[06:07] <hc_> Nice, now I need the dualscreen.
[06:07] <hc_> !dualhead
[06:07] <ubotu> Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama
[06:07] <shane_> Where can I learn how to use linux?
[06:07] <Enverex> haleq, and no, NEVER run EXEs like that
[06:07] <SpaceBass> berent, ahhh sounds like a problem with the VCD
[06:07] <haleq> oh?
[06:07] <berent> SpaceBass : nope
[06:07] <magnetron_> hc_, use /msg ubotu !dualhead
[06:08] <berent> SpaceBass : i have ripped it successfully though
[06:08] <CCmonster> CC
[06:08] <haleq> how come
[06:08] <soundray> marcin: ask the channel, I'm not the eclipse expert
[06:08] <heroin> How can i mount a .iso file?
[06:08] <SpaceBass> berent, but when you try and move forward or backwards it locks up?
[06:08] <dyrne> shane_: wiki.ubuntu.com you can search for things like wine and mp3 and whatnot. searching ubuntuforums.org is a good idea too
[06:08] <soundray> !iso > heroin, please read the private message from ubotu
[06:08] <CCmonster> w3tf is it saying CC
[06:08] <berent> SpaceBass : exgactly
[06:08] <CCmonster> wtf is my irc doing
[06:08] <haleq> Enverex
[06:08] <shane_> dyrne: thanks
[06:08] <heroin> soundray: i dont know how to see msg iam using irssi
[06:08] <marcin> soundray: sorry it's my first time at irc
[06:08] <graulich> When I set my layout to German one letter and all the numbers act as if shift was pressed. What gives?
[06:09] <soundray> !iso | heroin, please read the private message from ubotu
[06:09] <ubotu> heroin, please read the private message from 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.
[06:09] <SpaceBass> berent, hummm ... I have noticed some strangness with the version of vlc in the repisitory ... have you tried compiling ?
[06:09] <dyrne> heroin: mount -o loop     need the loopback option
[06:09] <james> is there some reason my hda is being read as sda now... and see's my thumbdrive as hda
[06:09] <CCmonster> why cant i find a fine i dl'd in amule
[06:09] <magnetron_> heroin: try the gmount-iso program
[06:09] <CCmonster> it says it dl'd it to home/brianbutters/.amule/incoming
[06:09] <berent> SpaceBass : nope
[06:09] <stefg> !UUID | james
[06:09] <ubotu> james: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell:  blkid  (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[06:09] <CCmonster> but that doesnt show up in my home folder
[06:09] <heroin> i will et gmount
[06:09] <SpaceBass> berent, its never as much fun as apt-get but at least VLC almost always compiles cleanly
[06:09] <marcin> I've installed java, eclipse, eclipse me and wireless toolkit and when I go to Device management and import device, point WTK folder and when refresh I get nothnig... anyone knows why?
[06:09] <aa^way> how you rename file with sudo?
[06:09] <dabaR> aa^way: with the mv command
[06:09] <soundray> marcin: imagine you were looking to help others with their ubuntu troubles. What would you want to know about that eclipse problem? That's what you need to describe.

[06:10] <haleq> cheers
[06:10] <dabaR> aa^way: the manuals for commands are accessed using the man command. so to see the manual for mv, you run man mv
[06:10] <CCmonster> CC
[06:10] <berent> SpaceBass it does it plays but there's that one problem .do you know keyboard controls
[06:10] <SpaceBass> berent, ohhh another idea... try launching vlc from the commandline...in a terminal...then you'll see the console output
[06:10] <heroin> gmountiso is in f**** french
[06:11] <marcin> soundray: but first I must look for someone who want to read that all stuff
[06:11] <SpaceBass> berent, see if you see anything suspicious when you try and fast forward
[06:11] <SpaceBass> berent, keyboard controls... arrow right is fast forward, space is play/pause....
[06:11] <soundray> marcin: if you have a lot of info, put it on the pastebin (link to follow) and tell us the URL
[06:11] <soundray> !pastebin | marcin
[06:11] <ubotu> marcin: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[06:12] <SpaceBass> berent, when you say keyboard controls...you still mean for the gui, right?
[06:12] <haleq> thanks enverex didnt know all thta
[06:12] <konam> someone here can tell me how can i change the default preferences in the compiz that ubuntu feisty ships
[06:12] <berent> SpaceBass : itried not happening
[06:12] <haleq> *that
[06:12] <SpaceBass> berent, or do you mean for the text-based interface
[06:12] <berent> gui
[06:12] <SpaceBass> berent, from a terminal, just type "vlc"
[06:12] <SpaceBass> berent, it should launch the gui, then use the gui to play your VCD and try and fast forward and see what happens in the termainal
[06:13] <marcin> soundray: thx for info :)
[06:13] <konam> i want to have access to more options of compiz, not only the ones that the "desktop effects" let you configure
[06:13] <taime1> can i flood abut 4 or 5 lines pleaes?

[06:14] <taime1> haha

[06:19] <Hunding> so when I first boot up my laptop I come to a screen that asks me to connect to a host.

[06:23] <DrZeus> hi all.  Ive tried to install the canon PIXMA 1300 but im having issues.  I downloaded some rpm's for 2200 that supposedly worked perfect(as the website said) with the 1300; i used alien to make them deb's and dkpg'ed them; nothing happened.  Any ideas?
[06:23] <bobstro> Hunding:  those are legit private ip addresses. have you tried them?
[06:24] <Yggdrasil> sethk just a blinking cursor
[06:24] <sethk> Yggdrasil, is you gui display on control-alt-f7?
[06:24] <Yggdrasil> sethk yes ifi i go back to ctrla alt f7 the guis fine
[06:24] <Hunding> bobstro: I have, and they all work...just not sure where they are comming from
[06:24] <soundray> DrZeus: bad idea, especially with printer drivers. What ubuntu version do you have?
[06:24] <CCmonster> ive already looked there, and ive gotten the mouse to work, but the keyboard although able to be scanned for (hcitool scan or hidd scan) it wont sync up
[06:24] <sethk> Yggdrasil, did you make any changes to /etc/inittab?
[06:24] <bobstro> Hunding:  you don't recognize the machines?
[06:24] <Yggdrasil> sethk, i don thinks so
[06:24] <Yggdrasil> i upgraded from dapper to fiesty
[06:24] <Hunding> bobstro: NO...
[06:25] <DrZeus> soundray: im using feisty, updated online from edgy
[06:25] <Hunding> bobstro: that is the part that is strange
[06:25] <DarkestHorse> Hi everyone
[06:25] <bobstro> Hunding:  but you're getting logged in? what are hostnames?
[06:25] <DrZeus> soundray: I read that using the driver for canon bjc7000 worked also, but it didnt with me
[06:25] <sethk> Yggdrasil, check it, then (/etc/inittab).  There should be siz lines that show some numbers between colons, then /sbin/getty 38400 tty1 (tty2, 3, etc.)
[06:25] <sethk> Yggdrasil, see if those are there, and not commented out.
[06:25] <SnapLin> this definatly the biggest chat room ever
[06:25] <Yggdrasil> sethk i lie, after this problem started i went into inittab. and played around in there..
[06:26] <DrZeus> soundray: i tried some of the "suggested" drivers of the add printer list, and none of them worked also
[06:26] <sethk> Yggdrasil, ok, but if the problem was already happening at that point ...
[06:26] <Hunding> bobstro: they are all running under my hostname for the lpatop
[06:26] <Yggdrasil> yes

[06:26] <CCmonster> well ..anyone?
[06:26] <bobstro> Hunding:  does ifconfig show those ip addresses in use on the lappie?
[06:26] <sethk> Yggdrasil, that looks good, you should also have 3:..., 4:..., up to 6:..., and the 1 line should be a bit different, 1:2345:respawn ...
[06:26] <Yggdrasil> sethk, can you pastebin yours perhaps ?
[06:26] <Yggdrasil> yea
[06:26] <jaqque> is there anyone here that is responsible for the ubuntu installer?

[06:26] <Yggdrasil> 1 is ia bit different
[06:27] <dotpavan> !bluetooth>CCmonster
[06:27] <Yggdrasil> would you like me to pastebin it ?
[06:27] <sethk> Yggdrasil, sure.  it's probably not the problem, but it should be checked.

[06:28] <Hunding> bobstro: VMnet 8 and VMnet 1
[06:28] <DrZeus> stefg: those instructions could work for PIXMA 1300?
[06:28] <CCmonster> I checked out the page
[06:28] <bobstro> Hunding:  yes, those are vmware.
[06:28] <Shaba1> Can anyone recommend a vnc server/client package for ubuntu?
[06:28] <Hunding> bobstro: thanks :)
[06:28] <bobstro> Hunding:  it's listening on those interfaces.
[06:29] <dotpavan> CCmonster: what is the specific issue? If you elaborate what the prob is, someonw might help
[06:29] <stefg> DrZeus: i avoid canon , so i can't tell. But as other forum entries show the drivers don't differ too much

[06:30] <DrZeus> stefg: i see; i read this before but dissed because of
[06:30] <DrZeus> the printers it said it worked with
[06:30] <shwag> how can I take a screenshot ?
[06:30] <DrZeus> soundray: let me see
[06:30] <Hunding> bobstro: I never used the VM for that. It is only my dev server and tomcat servers...
[06:30] <taime1> http://pastehere.com/?ictwtc    is this a result of a change in repos.... or gzip error?
[06:30] <AhmedTheGreat> Can anyone help me with the interface?
[06:31] <DrZeus> soundray: yes; thats where I downloaded the rpms'!
[06:31] <CCmonster> what is confusing is that, when i scan for the hid device, my keyboard comes up,

[07:00] <cblack0> How do I change the default value of $LANG for all shells/sessions?
[07:01] <cblack0> I think I found it... /etc/default/locale
[07:01] <esodan> hellbounded: Are you there?
[07:01] <Pici> !locale
[07:01] <ubotu> To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf
[07:02] <Pollywog> would 'dpkg-reconfigure locales' do that?
[07:02] <EDinNY> does anyone know what to install to get the full menu in icewm?
[07:02] <Mutal1ty> since there are obviously no drivers for the Adigy X-Fi cards, I was thinking of reverting to my MOBO's audio which is the ABIT A8N SLI mobo with "Audiomax 7.1 HD"
[07:02] <Mutal1ty> anyone know if it is supported by a generic driver?
[07:02] <Mutal1ty> Abit has no linux drivers for this audio
[07:03] <Obererpel> hi! how can i delete a directory with all its files? (shell)
[07:03] <magnetron> Mutal1ty: maybe it is AC97 compatible? then it is supported in linux
[07:03] <a5benwillis> Anyone had trouble installing ubuntu viaa SATA dvd drive?
[07:03] <magnetron> Obererpel: rm -r
[07:03] <Pollywog> EDinNY: I think I installed icewm-gnome and got it
[07:03] <Mutal1ty> how do I test this?
[07:03] <Obererpel> magnetron: thx
[07:04] <EDinNY> Pollywog: I have that installed, but no dice here!
[07:04] <magnetron> Mutal1ty: make sure it is enabled in BIOS. choose it in preferences
[07:04] <Pollywog> try icewm-gnome-support
[07:04] <Pollywog> it is a package
[07:04] <EDinNY> How do I check from the command line if that is installed?
[07:05] <Mutal1ty> magnetron: I don't see anything in preferences having to do with sound
[07:05] <Pollywog> dpkg -l | grep icewm
[07:05] <Mutal1ty> magnetron: n/m I'm blind
[07:05] <magnetron> Mutal1ty: in gnome, in the System > preferences > sound thing
[07:05] <EDinNY> icewm-gnome-support?
[07:05] <Mutal1ty> when I click test the box disapears
[07:06] <Pollywog> yes
[07:06] <Pollywog> dpkg -l | grep icewm   will show you all icewm packages installed

[07:12] <squid0> !shipit
[07:12] <aboyousif> AhmedTheGreat, what is the problem ?
[07:12] <ubotu> shipit is a service that sends free Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Edubuntu CDs. See http://shipit.ubuntu.com/ and http://shipit.kubuntu.org and http://shipit.edubuntu.org - Shipit will send Feisty (7.04) CDs
[07:12] <ncd> AhmedTheGreat, lots of things DO not work in feisty
[07:12] <jusama14> yesterday my gxmame was running perfecly but now today when i try to play it runs very slowly
[07:13] <ncd> I have a growing list of gripes and areas that need to be enhanced
[07:13] <magnetron> AhmedTheGreat:  how did you install the proprietary nvidia drivers?
[07:13] <AhmedTheGreat> aboyousif, (salam. xD) I had a problem with my vga and stuff, found the solution on http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=83130 but I have no idea how to apply them.
[07:13] <CCmonster> well i followed some thing about making VLC run embedded video, but most of what runs is WMV , and i didnt realize that VLC does not do WMV and such
[07:13] <LordTureis> crusie: does wine automatically put the shortcut somewhere under Applications > Wine ?
[07:13] <AhmedTheGreat> magnetron through the "restricted drivers" thingy.
[07:13] <aboyousif> AhmedTheGreat, what is your card ?
[07:13] <Pelo> ncd,  I think you mean that need to be adressed , but go on
[07:13] <AhmedTheGreat> GeForce 420go (old laptop)
[07:13] <squid0> hey, anyone care to comment on their feelings of kubuntu feisty vs. edgy?
[07:13] <ncd> Pelo, Im not finished evaluating yet

[07:13] <fabio__> how can i see the list of the packages installed from a specific external repository? thanks
[07:14] <tondar> where does cron save it's files??
[07:14] <Wiseguy> hey guys, is it possible to give file roller rar opening privileges?
[07:14] <squid0> tondar: try man cron
[07:14] <ncd> but getting DRI to work on this rats ass of chip would be nice before i draw a conclusion
[07:14] <ncd> final*
[07:14] <aboyousif> AhmedTheGreat, tired the legacy driver ?
[07:14] <Pelo> fabio__, go in synatpic,  select the repos in the list, order by install status in the package list
[07:14] <AhmedTheGreat> I have no idea what the legacy driver is. x.x
[07:14] <Webspot> Can anyone recommend a mobile phone that can be used as a modem with an ubuntu PC over GPRS?
[07:14] <AhmedTheGreat> I know nothing about linux btw, I just got it today.
[07:14] <ncd> I recompied my kernel for i830/drm and have the latest Xorg
[07:15] <AhmedTheGreat> But I am a 100% sure that it is better than windows so.. x.x
[07:15] <aboyousif> AhmedTheGreat, where are you from ?
[07:15] <EDinNY> CCmonster, do you know where to find the multimedia codecs?
[07:15] <ncd> and Ive tryed to give it every thing it wants in xorg.conf
[07:15] <julez> Wiseguy, have you installed the rar package?
[07:15] <CCmonster> No EDinNY

[07:15] <CCmonster> but it apparently didnt add the needed codecs
[07:15] <aboyousif> AhmedTheGreat, where are you from ?
[07:15] <AhmedTheGreat> Pelo, I do not get it.
[07:15] <AhmedTheGreat> aboyousif, again, Kuwait. x.x
[07:15] <CCmonster> should i get the ffmpeg gstreamer plugin?
[07:16] <EDinNY> CCmonster, search for "codec":  http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty
[07:16] <Pelo> AhmedTheGreat,  never mind what is your issue ?
[07:16] <aboyousif> AhmedTheGreat, well you should call me first to not miss your answer
[07:16] <AhmedTheGreat> Pelo, here: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=83130
[07:16] <LordTureis> CCmonster: probably
[07:16] <AhmedTheGreat> This is the exact thing I am going through.
[07:16] <AhmedTheGreat> With more details. x.x
[07:16] <aboyousif> AhmedTheGreat, ok do that .. sudo apt-get install nivida-glx-legacy
[07:16] <AhmedTheGreat> There are solutions there, I just do not know how to aply them.
[07:16] <aboyousif> AhmedTheGreat, from the terminal
[07:16] <Pelo> AhmedTheGreat,  what is your video card ?
[07:16] <Flannel> fabio__: comment out your third party repositories, then go into synaptic, hit "reload" then check the "local and obsolete" package section in synaptic
[07:17] <AhmedTheGreat> installing.
[07:17] <fabio__> ok!
[07:17] <matthew_> how do you find out the uuid of a device?
[07:17] <Flannel> !uuid | matthew_
[07:17] <ubotu> matthew_: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell:  blkid  (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[07:17] <AhmedTheGreat> Um.. my laptop is not connected online. x.x
[07:18] <AhmedTheGreat> Pelo, GeForce 420 go.
[07:18] <magnetron> AhmedTheGreat: i suspect you need to install the nvidia-glx-legacy package
[07:18] <IppatsuManXYZ> Hi all. Is there any tutorial about setting up a crypted partition? From /proc/crypto seems that the defaul feisty kernel doesn't support aes, is that normal?
[07:18] <aboyousif> !nvidia | AhmedTheGreat
[07:18] <ubotu> AhmedTheGreat: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:18] <ncd> Pelo, mainly gripes in areas where switching M$ users over in concerned
[07:18] <Pelo> AhmedTheGreat, in menu > system > admin ( possibly in pref)   look for  restricted driver,   click and see if anything comes up
[07:19] <matthew_> ubotu: bklid command not found
[07:19] <void^> IppatsuManXYZ: sudo modprobe aes
[07:19] <Flannel> matthew_: it's blkid
[07:19] <AhmedTheGreat> Well, could anyone tell me how to do those? "Option "IgnoreDisplayDevices" "CRT, TV""
[07:19] <matthew_> ohh ok
[07:19] <ncd> you want to switch them over and leave them thicking FUCKING HELL m8 that windows malarky is a alload of crack head  bullshit

[07:19] <ubotu> ncd: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[07:19] <Pelo> ncd,  they can be turned,  the trick is getting them to realise that they don'T have to shell out 1000$ + for a working system
[07:19] <Pelo> AhmedTheGreat,  ah
[07:19] <paok> anyone can help with wireless mouse problem???
[07:19] <jusama14> yesterday my gxmame was running perfectly but now today when i try to play it runs very slowly

[07:20] <AhmedTheGreat> But I can use the ctrl+ alt+ F1,2,...etc
[07:20] <Pelo> !nvidia | AhmedTheGreat  start with this then
[07:20] <ubotu> AhmedTheGreat  start with this then: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:20] <magnetron> ubotu, tell paok about anyone
[07:20] <Flannel> fabio__: yeah, that could be.  Apparently the wording is changed.
[07:20] <ncd> gah my spellling is like a a load of crack head bullshit today .. i do apologise
[07:20] <fabio__> Flannel: i have the italian version so i try to translate :D
[07:20] <AhmedTheGreat> It didn't help, that is why I was thinking about the display thingy.
[07:21] <paok> bcause im tired to repeat magnetron
[07:21] <paok> ....
[07:21] <paok> i have a broken finger ...
[07:21] <IppatsuManXYZ> void^: thanks - should I use cryptsetup to setup the encrypted partition?
[07:21] <Pelo>  AhmedTheGreat  did you have the gui before and now you can't get back because you messed with beryl ?
[07:22] <paok> so my dam n wire usb mouse work ok when i plugg it now another usb on same port but wireless no move at all...
[07:22] <AhmedTheGreat> Pelo, when I first installed linux, I was able to get in.
[07:22] <paok> ok in dmesg loaded on /class/input/input3 (strange)
[07:22] <AhmedTheGreat> I did not get any black screens.
[07:22] <jusama14> Does anyone know any good FPS games for ubuntu that are free and doesn't require a good computer?
[07:23] <AhmedTheGreat> BUT, It showed me the "restricted drivers" thingy, saying that my nvidia card is not in use.
[07:23] <LordTureis> jusama14: tremulous
[07:23] <Pelo> AhmedTheGreat,  I see,   you might get better help on this in #beryl then,  they've probably dealt with this before
[07:23] <magnetron> jusama14: how good is your computer?
[07:23] <AhmedTheGreat> When I tried to enable desktop effects, it asked me to enable that "no in use" vga..
[07:23] <julez> jusama14, return to castle wolfenstein
[07:23] <kevkev832> how do i save a a GNU Nano file i've edited such as "block.html"  cause it has some commands with that arrow pointing up and x, k, u , c, t.  thanks.
[07:23] <jusama14> LordTureis, I tried that but the textures are messed up, my mouse leaves a trail basically everything leaves a trail
[07:23] <AhmedTheGreat> So I did, it downloaded nvidia-glx and asked me to restart, ever since then, I'd get a black screen after the boot screen.
[07:23] <jusama14> I have a sempron
[07:24] <jusama14> 2800+ I think, and onboard video card
[07:24] <Flannel> kevkev832: ^O is save (ctrl-O)
[07:24] <aboyousif> jusama14, is it notgood ? i use pIII :)
[07:24] <jusama14> any ideas?
[07:24] <Pelo> AhmedTheGreat, you had to use the restricted thing to enable your nvidia card, then you would have been ok,  but I donT' know how to get you back from where you are,  #beryl or #ubuntu-effects  might be able to help
[07:24] <innu> Hey. Can i somehow lock mic volume from mixer so some other programs wont be able to change it
[07:24] <jusama14> aboyousif, sempron is worse than p3 I think lol
[07:24] <asincrono> hi

[07:24] <jusama14> or if someone could help me fix the game, that would work
[07:25] <asincrono> is it an echo server running on port 7?
[07:25] <aboyousif> AhmedTheGreat, you should enable your restriected repositories ?
[07:25] <asincrono> and, if answer is true, how can I check it?
[07:25] <magnetron> jusama14: try nexuiz . it is in "add/remove" applications
[07:25] <AhmedTheGreat> aboyousif, this has happened right after enabling my VGA.
[07:25] <yemu> im using encfs and i was wandering is it safe to export encsf encrypted directory using nfs?

[07:26] <yemu> i mean is it safe for multiple users to write to encrypted directory simultaneously
[07:26] <julez> you have to install it manually

[07:30] <ncd> tryed to c ompile from source but ubuntus desilation dev enviroment doesnt have cpp
[07:31] <jbsn> what do I need to apt-get to get zlib-devel ?
[07:31] <jusama14> okay guys please help
[07:31] <hellbounded> cas13y:so your alright being able to view windows partitions I've got a dedicated ubuntu system. and I'm able to view this windows system over the network. so pretty much network and duel systems are basically alike
[07:31] <jusama14> I just tried to run that game
[07:31] <jusama14> and the cursor was moving very slowly
[07:32] <holycow> !en-ca
[07:32] <jusama14> yesterday my computer was running perfect
[07:32] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about en-ca - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:32] <hellbounded> jusama14:which game?
[07:32] <a5benwillis> I cannot get Ubuntu to install completely. It gets stuck while copying files at 6%. How can I tell if its a disk problem?
[07:32] <koala_man> can I boot a network install from an usb device?
[07:32] <jusama14> hellbounded, basically everything, gxmame and nexuiz
[07:32] <ncd> jusama14, have you consulted loki games?
[07:32] <holycow> does anyone here know what the deal is with the lack of canadian spellcheck and thesaurus for oo in dapper?
[07:32] <hellbounded> a5benwillis:boot with the disk and have it check for disk defects it will tell you if something is wrong
[07:32] <jusama14> ncd, ?
[07:32] <soundray> DrZeus: I wonder whether that missing file is in /cnijfilter-common-2.60-1.tar.gz. Look at the contents with 'tar ztvf /cnijfilter-common-2.60-1.tar.gz'. Pastebin it if you want ot.
[07:33] <ncd> every penguin must receive that knowelege
[07:33] <hellbounded> jusama14:not sure what those games are about I haven't seen anything with those name nor tried
[07:33] <soundray> s/ot/to/
[07:33] <dyrne> a5benwillis: check the md5 sum. also if you reburn do so at slowest possible speed
[07:33] <a5benwillis> hellbounded: Can I do this with the ALt cd?
[07:33] <jusama14> well gxmame is a mame emulator, yesterday it was running perfect, not today
[07:33] <paulDGT> i cant install ndiswrapper its not even available in synaptic - does anyone know whats happening
[07:33] <ncd> and become a giver...  not a receiver pal
[07:33] <DrZeus> soundray: let me check
[07:33] <deadeyes> hi all, I installed proftpd on ubunut feisty. What do I have to change in /etc/default/proftpd.conf to let it only run at one NIC?
[07:33] <DaHex> join #ubuntu
[07:34] <a5benwillis> dyrne: This media has been used on this system before and it worked fine. I think that my HD is having troubles. Its a SATA and when it fails the drive makes a quiet ticking noise
[07:34] <CCmonster> so is it common in WMV that you cannot "FAST FORWARD" cuz i woulda swore i could fastforward in windows
[07:34] <hellbounded> dyrne:it would be smarter if they checked with the disc. something may have gone wrong while the ISO was burning so it would be smarter to check off booting the disk
[07:34] <deadeyes> hi all, I installed proftpd on ubunut feisty. What do I have to change in /etc/default/proftpd.conf to let it only run at one NIC?
[07:34] <soundray> !repeat | deadeyes
[07:34] <ubotu> deadeyes: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[07:35] <jusama14> Any help guys???
[07:35] <DaHex> Hi all, how do I configure console to get higher resolution and unicode support?
[07:35] <DWRZ> I want to do a clean install of Ubuntu 7.04, currently on 6.10. What should I backup before I go ahead? Evolution E-mails, Firefox Bookmarks, Documents...what else?
[07:35] <kitsuneo1doom> It appears that my alternate-install disk is crashing when I try to install LVM
[07:35] <hellbounded> jusama14:sorry, what was your problem again?
[07:35] <jusama14> stuff on my computer is running real slow
[07:35] <deadeyes> jusama14: check your process list
[07:36] <jusama14> deadeyes, how do i check that?
[07:36] <dyrne> jusama14: what is slow? disk seek or what?
[07:36] <hellbounded> jusama14: there might be a coding error in your ubuntu due to an install. or like deadeyes said check your process list there might be a faulty process running though the program has been shut down
[07:36] <dyrne> jusama14: open a terminal and run 'top'
[07:36] <jusama14> dyrne, programs on my computer
[07:37] <dyrne> jusama14: sort of like task manager in win will tell you if anything is taking alot of cpu
[07:37] <jusama14> i found the problem
[07:37] <DaHex> How can i configure console to run 1024x768 mode?
[07:37] <jusama14> how do  i end task it?
[07:37] <DWRZ> anybody?
[07:37] <soundray> DaHex: with the vga= boot option.
[07:37] <jusama14> tremelous is using 80% of my cpu....although i don't have it running
[07:37] <crusie> I got a problem here... I got 2 auidio devices installed on my computer... and the sound seems to be set to the wrong one
[07:37] <crusie> how do I change it ?
[07:37] <dyrne> jusama14: pkill name  or killall name
[07:38] <dyrne> jusama14: or kill pidnumber
[07:38] <soundray> DaHex: install linux-doc and read /usr/share/doc/linux-doc-$(uname -r)/Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt
[07:38] <deadeyes> jusama14: type "top"
[07:38] <a5benwillis> dyrne: This media has been used on this system before and it worked fine. I think that my HD is having troubles. Its a SATA and when it fails the drive makes a quiet ticking noise
[07:38] <deadeyes> jusama14: and you see a list
[07:38] <a5benwillis> hellbounded: Can I do this with the ALt cd?
[07:38] <jusama14> yeah
[07:38] <jusama14> i see the list
[07:38] <DWRZ> if I want to do a clean install of Ubuntu 7.04, currently on 6.10. What should I backup before I go ahead? Evolution E-mails, Firefox Bookmarks, Documents...what else?
[07:38] <jusama14> and i see the program that's causing the jam
[07:38] <crusie> I've changed it under system/preferences/ sound but still if I play back a video or something on video google it doesn't produce any sound
[07:38] <deadeyes> jusama14: just use the Process ID
[07:38] <deadeyes> jusama14: kill PID
[07:38] <crusie> the tests sounds under there seems to work tho
[07:39] <dyrne> a5benwillis: im not happy at all with feisty and hd performance.  one reason i cant recommend it. sorry dont know what going on with you though
[07:39] <tatters> if I use rsync   /mp3a   /mp3b  does this mean next time I run the rsync cmd only changes in /mp3a will be copied to /mp3b, so if I add another mp3 to /mp3a only that mp3 will be copied over to /mp3b?
[07:39] <jusama14> k got it
[07:39] <jusama14> thx
[07:39] <deadeyes> jusama14: or if it does not want to stop "kill -9 PID"
[07:39] <soundray> DaHex: or, if you trust me, just use vga=0x317 as a boot option.
[07:39] <fabio__> is it possible to reduce the memory used as cache? with just few open application ubuntu use my whole 750mb of ram....
[07:39] <kitsuneofdoom> DWRZ: if you want to keep everything, just your /home diectory.
[07:39] <deadeyes> jusama14: np
[07:39] <ekholm> can i use VMware to run my native XP? (i run ubuntu 7.04 now)
[07:39] <Ng> DWRZ: if you want to retain all your desktop settings you should grab .gconf* from your home directory. Generally I take a copy of my whole home directory anyway so I can pull anything back later if I forgot I wanted it ;)
[07:39] <AirRaven> @DWRZ- check all your hardware's compatible with 7.04 first? A lot of people have had trouble with their wireless cards- especially RT2500 chipset-based WLAN cards.
[07:39] <DWRZ> That will have mail and bookmarks?
[07:39] <a5benwillis> dyrne: Im using Edgy..
[07:39] <a5benwillis> thanks though!
[07:39] <dyrne> ekholm: yes. id recomment downloading vmware server from their website
[07:39] <DWRZ> Thanks, I think I'm fine with requirements and wireless...
[07:40] <crusie> seems my mic works with my headset... it's one of those usb ones
[07:40] <crusie> but all other sounds goes to the other card I think
[07:40] <deadeyes> hi all, I installed proftpd on ubunut feisty. What do I have to change in /etc/default/proftpd.conf to let it only run at one NIC?
[07:40] <Ng> dyrne: vmware-server is in the commercial ubuntu repository :)
[07:40] <soundray> DaHex: am I making sense?
[07:40] <ekholm> dyrne: can you find me a guide of how i install it? (total beginner9)
[07:40] <AirRaven> I just reinstalled XP on a fresh Hard Disc- I can't get at GRUB anymore or load Ubuntu. Is there any easy way of reinstalling GRUB from the LiveCD?

[07:42] <kitsuneofdoom> Ok, I'm trying to install Ubuntu with LVM. I have a 7.04 alternate-install disk. It keeps freezing when I try and create logical volumes, or assign them to mount points (ones that I've already created)
[07:42] <ath3ist> Hello room
[07:42] <soundray> elcasey: there is a "Boost Mic +20dB" switch somewhere. You may have to explicitly activate it in Preferences.
[07:43] <ath3ist> I have a question about mounting an iso
[07:43] <crusie> no ideas guys ?
[07:43] <ath3ist> can anyone help?
[07:43] <soundray> ath3ist: depends on what your iso question is. Try asking.
[07:44] <ath3ist> i have a dual boot computer right now with 2 hard drives. one is feisty and the other is 2k.  i have since attained a windows xp iso that i have saved on my ubuntu hard drive
[07:44] <kevkev832> admin@bsn001ubuntu:~$ ps -e | grep squid
[07:44] <kevkev832> admin@bsn001ubuntu:~$ sudo squid -k reconfigure
[07:44] <kevkev832> squid: ERROR: No running copy
[07:44] <sivik> reconfigure-xorg, is that the correct command to do the redo of the xorg.conf
[07:45] <ath3ist> i am wanting to mount the image so that it is usable to install onto the 2k partition
[07:45] <elcasey> I'm having a problem with low mic volume
[07:45] <elcasey> Front Mic is at 100% in alsamixer, but it's still *very* low
[07:46] <elcasey> I have no other settings to mess with, and I got it working once before
[07:46] <elcasey> any ideas????
[07:46] <soundray> ath3ist: the XP disk contains a setup program that won't run in Ubuntu. You have to burn it and boot off it.
[07:46] <soundray> elcasey: what was wrong with my suggestion?
[07:46] <elcasey> soundray: I didn't see it...but I don't have that Boost +20dB box available. In "Switches" I only have "Headphone"
[07:46] <crusie> anyone has ideas to how I'll get sound on my computer ? seems like it's set to the wrong sound card
[07:47] <soundray> elcasey: be so polite to read my entire response.
[07:47] <elcasey> soundray: I did...it's not available in Prefs
[07:48] <jroque> Hello
[07:48] <elcasey> soundray: hm, I just enabled some "Capture and Input Sources" so I'll try that. Thanks, anyway.
[07:48] <soundray> elcasey: did you check gnome-volume-control  Edit-Preferences?
[07:48] <kevkev832> well i'm doing this squid server and apache web server in my UBUNTU default desktop installation, was i suppose to only run squid in the Server installation?  cause my server installation didnt' have a ubuntu-desktop GUI, so i just installed it on my ubuntu desktop.

[07:49] <Flannel> kevkev832: please don't paste here.  And, there's no difference between a "server" and a "desktop" as far as linux is concerned, theyre all just progrms.  You just have squid misconfigured, it looks like

[07:51] <pancho> doew anyone noes if ubuntu supports soundbalster cards  ?
[07:51] <khermans> I am unable to see the SAMETIME protocol available under Feisty -- I don't see it in the core or in an availanle plugin package
[07:51] <Nalleman> Hi all. Is there anyone who knows how I can change the preferences for the splash screen?
[07:51] <CheshireViking> which kernel does Ubuntu Dapper use?
[07:51] <soundray> pancho: most of them, yes. X-Fi - no chance.
[07:51] <pancho> i see
[07:51] <soundray> CheshireViking: 2.6.15
[07:52] <pancho> what about ati video cards ?
[07:52] <khermans> Can anyone check this for me?  Gaim -> Accounts -> View -> Protocol -> (is SAMETIME/MEANWHILE listed?)
[07:52] <magnetron> !ati | pancho
[07:52] <ubotu> pancho: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:52] <soundray> pancho: most of them are supported by free drivers, but without acceleration.
[07:52] <coolgeek> guys, some how.... obviously something i did, ive changed the logo duing loading to edubuntu..
[07:53] <coolgeek> i could just rename the images and place them in the correct place, but instead i want to know how to change the loading image
[07:53] <pancho> i see
[07:53] <soundray> pancho: to get 3D acceleration, you have to get a closed driver from ATI which is fairly buggy, but runs well on some systems at least.
[07:53] <magnetron> pancho: ati and nvidia provide their own (closed) drivers for ubuntu
[07:53] <pancho> i understand
[07:53] <TranceLife> Hello , how i can add to start programs..?
[07:53] <coolgeek> so basically the question is how do i change the loading screen?
[07:53] <pancho> what better on ubuntu....ATI or Nvidia ?
[07:53] <coolgeek> TranceLife: in gui?
[07:54] <soundray> pancho: some "older" radeon cards have free 3D acceleration, but I don't think this is true for any currently marketed ATI card.
[07:54] <magnetron> !best | pancho
[07:54] <ubotu> pancho: 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.

[07:54] <CheshireViking> soundray, thanks
[07:54] <coolgeek> TranceLife: in the graphical interface?
[07:54] <soundray> pancho: NVidia is slightly better, but the accelerated driver suffers from the same principal problem of being closed source
[07:54] <coolgeek> how do you change the loading screen guys?
[07:54] <pancho> basically, for using Beryl, and playing games
[07:55] <coolgeek> TranceLife: are u using Gnome?
[07:55] <soundray> !usplash > coolgeek, please read the private message from ubotu

[08:06] <hellbound> got one question, how do I run wine after I've installed it
[08:06] <soundray> coolgeek: no. 'locate usplash' reveals /usr/share/doc/usplash/README which you should probably have a look at. It may be located in /usr/lib/usplash/

[08:07] <JimmySkull> hu!b
[08:07] <geoff_> Could someone help me with a kind of dumb problem?
[08:07] <ulisse> crusie: try to select it as default in the audio preferences panel
[08:07] <geoff_>  I tried getting the Flash player with apt-get, and it timed out, so I killed it, but now every time I try to run apt-get, it tries to download it again. How do I get it out of the queue?
[08:07] <Lam_> my kubuntu doesn't shutdown properly like 50% of the time and i heard it was related to usplash. how do i disable usplash?
[08:07] <soundray> crusie: have you set the Default sound card? System-Preferences-Sound-Sounds-bottom of dialog
[08:07] <Taladan> geoff_: sudo apt-get install -f
[08:08] <geoff_> Taladan: Thank you kindly!
[08:08] <ulisse> geoff_: sudo apt-get remove flashplayer-plugin-nonfree
[08:08] <crusie> soundray: did yes
[08:08] <hellbound> how do I start wine?
[08:08] <crusie> didn't work
[08:08] <crusie> but then I did sudo asoundconf set-default-card card here

[08:09] <hellbound> how do I start wine on ubuntu?
[08:09] <lapt_teenbeat200> with wat command do i register my nickname
[08:10] <koala_man> hmm, ubuntu must be the only distro that can't do a netinstall from the internet
[08:10] <matthew_> how do you change the group of a directory?
[08:10] <soundray> hellbound: wine yourwindowsprogram.exe
[08:10] <hellbound> soundray:could you explain a little more?
[08:10] <jrib> matthew_: chgrp
[08:10] <matthew_> ok
[08:10] <jrib> !permissions > matthew_ (see the private message from ubotu)
[08:10] <hellbound> soundray: do I run that command in terminal?
[08:11] <coolgeek> there is something called gnome-splashscreen-manager.desktop how do i install it
[08:11] <maiken> hi all... i am kinda nooby, so bear with me. My wireless is finally working with wpa, but it is very unstable, and after some time it usually stops working, even tho it has full signal strength... can we fix it. (by the way it works just fine in windows)
[08:11] <soundray> matthew_: 'sudo chown .groupname directoryname' (watch the dot)
[08:11] <soundray> hellbound: yes. cd to the location of your windows program first.
[08:11] <matthew_> use chown or chgrp?
[08:12] <jrib> matthew_: either one will work
[08:12] <coolgeek> soundray: do you know where the defualt usplashs are kept?
[08:12] <coolgeek> oops
[08:12] <coolgeek> there is something called gnome-splashscreen-manager.desktop how do i install it
[08:12] <hellbound> so open terminal and type in  wine yourwindowsprogram.exe but where it says "yourwindowsprogram" put the name of the windows installer?
[08:12] <soundray> !info gnome-splashscreen-manager
[08:12] <ubotu> gnome-splashscreen-manager: manage your GNOME splash screen images. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2-5 (feisty), package size 14 kB, installed size 152 kB
[08:12] <bobstro> coolgeek:  do you want the gnome splash screens, or usplash boot up?
[08:12] <soundray> coolgeek: just install the package ^^
[08:13] <coolgeek> usplash bootup
[08:13] <coolgeek> soundray: with what command im trying...
[08:13] <coolgeek> the file i find is.
[08:13] <coolgeek> /usr/share/app-install/desktop/gnome-splashscreen-manager.desktop
[08:13] <bobstro> coolgeek:  i think the gnome-splash is just the startup screens for gnome.
[08:13] <ThomasWaldmann> wow, 1314 nicks :)
[08:13] <coolgeek> how would i install it?
[08:13] <coolgeek> install doesnt work
[08:13] <soundray> coolgeek: are you aware that this is not usplash-related?
[08:14] <[swb] > hello all
[08:14] <bobstro> coolgeek:  well, i just used synaptic, but apt-get should work too.
[08:14] <budluva_> has anyone here ever installed XAMPP??? formerly known as lampp

[08:14] <ThomasWaldmann> btw, 7.04 autopartitioning doesnt work for a 3TB disk :))

[08:14] <maiken> can anyone help me with my wifi?

[08:14] <soundray> !wireless > maiken, please read the private message from ubotu
[08:14] <budluva_> xampp install is telling me to extract the tarball to /opt but ubuntu/debian doesnt use opt in the filesystem
[08:14] <bobstro> coolgeek:  there is no .desktop in the package name
[08:14] <coolgeek> so does any one know a bit more about this usplash stuff?
[08:15] <matthew_> how about using chmod.  I want to make a directory have read and write access to the group.  doing this:  chmod +rwg directory doesn't work.
[08:15] <xgermx> i dislike usplash
[08:15] <bobstro> coolgeek:  what are you trying to do?
[08:15] <xgermx> its more compilcated than it has to be
[08:15] <Res> hi does anyone know where the command "SHOW  DESKTOP" ist set?
[08:15] <ThomasWaldmann> and even manually, it shows all sorts of flaws
[08:15] <soundray> matthew_: chmod g+rw
[08:15] <coolgeek> bobstro: check query!
[08:15] <soundray> matthew_: use man chmod
[08:15] <matthew_> ok thanks
[08:16] <matthew_> i've read the man a million times.  in general man pages are terrible but the chmod is especially terrible.  it's a difficult command to learn and that man page doesn't have a single example.
[08:16] <xgermx> does anyone know how I run a .py
[08:16] <soundray> coolgeek: what's wrong with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto ?
[08:16] <soundray> xgermx: python file.py
[08:16] <spunk> Hello! problem: Under 7.04, I'm using network manager + openvpn to connect to a vpn. I've managed to set it up so that I get connected but my resolv.conf gets cleared. Any ideas how to keep the resolv file intact?
[08:16] <ThomasWaldmann> xgermx: python bla.py
[08:16] <coolgeek> soundray: it doesnt have the sufficient info im lookin for
[08:17] <bobstro> coolgeek:  there are some howtos, but after reading through some of them, i decided they're more trouble than they're worth.
[08:17] <soundray> coolgeek: why don't you ask a specific question then? "Does anybody know"-type stuff only annoys people here.
[08:17] <xgermx> thanks.
[08:17] <xgermx> now to install pycurl
[08:17] <DrZeus> soundray: we did it! it printed!  But now after printing it doesnt accept more jobs after a while
[08:17] <CCmonster> if i wanted to download pidgin, how would i do that?
[08:18] <Sivart0> Does anybody know ho-*shot*
[08:18] <coolgeek> the thing is it changed on its own, well i think when i changed the theme, but ive tried changing the theme back and the usplash hasnt changed but the theme has..
[08:18] <Res> Hello, problem : may anyone know how the Change the Icon of the  "show Desktop" HK on the bottem left (STANDART...)
[08:18] <soundray> matthew_: it is highly precise, and has all the information you need. If you need a tutorial, check the factoid (private message) and search the web.
[08:18] <soundray> !cli > matthew_
[08:19] <Paula> witam
[08:19] <coolgeek> it currently says edubuntu. i just want to get back to the original ebuntu one
[08:19] <coolgeek> dont want to add my own, or anything like that
[08:19] <Sivart0> what x version does fiesty fawn use?
[08:20] <matthew_> soundray: please stop talking down to me.  i know how to use the cli.  chmod is difficult command and the man page (like most man pages) is written for people who already know how to use the command
[08:20] <weas3l> ...so why do i have to install the xine libraries just to install libmad0?
[08:20] <coolgeek> so i guess the question is how do i get back to the default ubuntu usplash
[08:21] <CompuCh|p> Hmm, I am a bit disappointed. I upgraded to Feisty and suddenly it no longer recognizes both my grafics card and my wireless connection. Can I do a full hardware detection routine or something?
[08:21] <soundray> matthew_: I'm not talking down to anyone. I'm just concise, because other people here need help, too. If I sound curt, well, that's how it sounds. Take it or leave it.
[08:21] <weas3l> CompuChip, try putting a 0 at the end of the network ssid.
[08:21] <soundray> DrZeus: how did you crack it?
[08:22] <coolgeek> soundray: presuming you cannot help with this?
[08:22] <CompuCh|p> weas3l: It doesn't recognize my card at all. ifconfig only shows lo and eth0, no longer wlan0
[08:22] <weas3l> :S
[08:22] <weas3l> that... sucks.
[08:22] <coolgeek> CompuCh|p: my wlan wasnt recognised as wlan...
[08:22] <CompuCh|p> Yep, badly
[08:22] <sea2> h
[08:22] <jrib> coolgeek: have you seen !usplash factoid?
[08:22] <coolgeek> CompuCh|p: eth1 for me
[08:22] <weas3l> sorry for the wrong info then ;)
[08:22] <[swb] > anyone run ubuntu on a toshiba laptop?
[08:22] <CompuCh|p> np
[08:22] <soundray> DrZeus: would you mind adding your experience to the forums discussion on the 2200 printer?
[08:22] <coolgeek> jrib: nope??
[08:22] <jrib> !usplash > coolgeek (see the private message from ubotu)
[08:23] <CompuCh|p> coolgeek: ? what do you mean? I have lo and eth0, and wlan0 is just gone
[08:23] <coolgeek> CompuCh|p: have u checked its not running on eth1?
[08:23] <sercik> i have read an article on internet that speak very good about mepis... do you know about it?
[08:23] <Do``> can someone help me with an automount issue?
[08:23] <soundray> coolgeek: try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure usplash', and failing that, 'sudo apt-get --reinstall install usplash'
[08:23] <CompuCh|p> coolgeek: if I do ifconfig I just get those and iwconfig also lists just those with "No wireless extensions"
[08:23] <matthew_> soundray: it doesn't have "all the information you need".  Go read the first paragraph of the description in the man page.  It sounds like something out a technical manual, not a description so that people can understand how to use the command if they don't already understand how to use the command.  here's what it says:  "chmod changes the  permissions of each given file according to mode, which can be either a  symbolic  representati
[08:23] <matthew_> on  of changes to make, or an octal number representing the bit pattern for the new permissions."  Sorry bro, but I don't need a beginners guide to using the CLI just because I don't understand what that nonsense means.  Defend the man page all you want, but it's junk.
[08:24] <jrib> matthew_: was the wiki page not helpful?
[08:24] <humbolto> is there an easy way to setup Xen in feisty?
[08:24] <soundray> matthew_: you're posting offtopic. Don't ever quote a man page back to me. Assume that I know it by heart.
[08:24] <CompuCh|p> coolgeek: It's a built in wireless card but it acts like it doesn't see it at all
[08:24] <sortadi> * mannyto_ est dispuesto a tomar todas las pertenencias de santiago-ve
[08:25] <coolgeek> CompuCh|p: yes as i said... my built in card which is intel was recognised as eth1
[08:25] <coolgeek> not wlan.
[08:25] <Sivart0> X_VERSION=<xdir> ./ati-driver-installer-<ver>-<arch>.run [--install]    <-- what's the "xdir"?

[08:26] <CompuCh|p> coolgeek: sorry, doesn't help me.
[08:26] <Res> where is the command to clear the screen ?
[08:26] <jrib> Res: in cli?  "clear"?
[08:26] <tatters> Phoebus: Motion is repos but cli only no gui
[08:26] <coolgeek> CompuCh|p: are u in gui?
[08:26] <CompuCh|p> Can't I just have a "Detect all hardware" routine?

[08:29] <shnastybiznastic> I want to use JACK in ubuntu, it's installed, but when I try to start an application that wants jack, it dies saying that it couldn't start jack.
[08:29] <tecta> when will pidgin be in the repositories ?
[08:29] <jrib> Res: well you can set a keyboard shortcut in system > preferences > keyboard shortcuts, but for an actual command you may have to play with libwnck (it has nice python bindings)
[08:29] <bobstro> mEck0:  you can't create a new vm with player, probably want server.
[08:29] <shnastybiznastic> when I try to start jackd, it complains about me not having a realtime kernel
[08:29] <Juhaz> Res, keyboard shortcut? there is already one by default, ctrl+alt+d
[08:30] <LucianSolaris> I mount a drive using sudo mount /media/xyz and it mounts ok, but when I try to navigate as a user it denies me with permission denied.  it has an fstab entry and users is stated
[08:30] <Zoofmu>   ANyone got a quake 3 mirror for apt-get quake3-data
[08:30] <shnastybiznastic> can I just apt-get the realtime kernel modules?  or do thise need to be compiled in?
[08:30] <mEck0> bobstro: ahh, okey, so I can just use the default preinstalled stuff in player?
[08:30] <Juhaz> and wmctrl can do that without having to play with wnck
[08:30] <bobstro> mEck0:  yes, you can use but not modify the vm in player.
[08:30] <weas3l> hmmm, still can't get "Mp3 support" enabled
[08:30] <DrZeus> soundray: we did it! it printed!  But now after printing it doesnt accept more jobs after a while.
[08:30] <LucianSolaris> how do I stop the permission denied error?
[08:30] <CompuCh|p> Can someone help me letting Feisty recognize my wireless card? I found it using lspci but it's not among the list of network cards in ifconfig
[08:30] <Res> jrib: well i want to set the "clearing"/"show desktop" command to an icon ... so to get a shotcut , not a hotkey...
[08:30] <bobstro> mEck0:  hint -- create an "empty" image, then use it to create images in player.
[08:30] <soundray> DrZeus: how did you crack it?
[08:31] <mEck0> bobstro: ok, thx. Is it just to install the server from synaptic and start it up?
[08:31] <tatters> shnastybiznastic: I had same problem ignored warning and jackd seemed to run fine
[08:31] <bobstro> Res:  you don't have it in gnome? mine's at bottom left.
[08:31] <jrib> Res: yes, that's why I mentioned libwnck.  But I didn't know about wmctrl that Juhaz mentioned.  That will be easier for you to use
[08:31] <bobstro> mEck0:  there's a nice howto on the forums i believe.
[08:31] <Res> bobstro: i have it but i need to reicon it ...
[08:31] <bobstro> mEck0:  don't install both.
[08:31] <DrZeus> soundray: i just ran the head cleaning, and printed a pattern.  After that it printed once
[08:32] <mEck0> bobstro: aha, I will see if I find the howto
[08:32] <bobstro> Res:  you mean it's gone?
[08:32] <shnastybiznastic> tatters: well, that would be great, but my jack wanting app doesnt ignore it.
[08:32] <LucianSolaris> HELP:  I mount a drive using sudo mount /media/xyz and it mounts ok, but when I try to navigate as a user it denies me with permission denied.  it has an fstab entry and users is stated.  How do I solve this issue?
[08:32] <bobstro> Res:  right click on the panel and select add to panel... if so
[08:32] <Res> bobstro: no i still have i if i klick left an options/settings of the bar ... but i want an other skin for it
[08:32] <tatters> shnastybiznastic: you got jackd running?

[08:34] <a5benwillis> stupid SATA dvd drive was causing my installation to fail. Is this a limitation in Ubuntu or a bad drive?
[08:34] <Res> jrib: well i am really new w/ ubuntu and well don't know how to do it ... and after that what to do w/ it
[08:34] <bobstro> a5benwillis:  sata shouldn't be a problem.
[08:34] <soundray> DrZeus: I'm impressed that you made it this far. You can probably solve the remainder of the problem by looking at the error_log. Please consider adding your experience to the forums discussion.
[08:34] <bobstro> a5benwillis:  ah, you were installing FROM sata?
[08:34] <shnastybiznastic> tatters: okay, it's doing new things now, I'm going to go investigate
[08:35] <a5benwillis> bobstro: Yes FROM a sata DVD drive TO a sataHD
[08:35] <Res> jrib: i "already" know how to install packages
[08:35] <jrib> Res: I've never used wmctrl before. Juhaz do you happen to know how to minimize (and can you help out Res )?

[08:39] <CompuCh|p> ThomasWaldmann: lspci gives "00:09.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8180L 802.11b MAC (rev 20)"
[08:39] <Juhaz> Res, "wmctrl -k on" should show the desktop
[08:39] <soundray> DrZeus: see if you can print pdfs from evince. If that works, you have at least a workaround. To get unstuck from where you are, try 'sudo invoke-rc.d cups restart' or a reboot.
[08:39] <LucianSolaris> holzmodem my GUESS is that init5 isn't loading kdm
[08:39] <Res> that is a termianl command?
[08:40] <DrZeus> soundray: roger that
[08:40] <kaje> When I enable Desktop effect in 7.04, I lose all of the window frames... No titlebar, no min, max, close buttons, etc... What's going on?
[08:41] <Juhaz> Res, yes
[08:41] <CCmonster> anyone able to help me get pidgin onto ubuntu?
[08:41] <Res> Juhaz: SWWEEEET thanks!
[08:41] <redhandbr> anyone has the repository of pidgin?
[08:41] <LucianSolaris> soundray, i get a fusermount: mount failed: Operation not permitted when mounting not using sudo
[08:41] <holzmodem> LucianSolaris: i didn't change an options
[08:42] <kaje> Also, I remember in 6.10 there was a nice application that allowed me to configure all the fun options with Desktop Effects... what ever happened to that?
[08:42] <Railer> simple question, does ubuntu have a screen saver or program that scrolls through pictures in a file like windows xp does?
[08:42] <LucianSolaris> i'm unsure about ubuntu, but kubuntu has gwenview
[08:42] <soundray> LucianSolaris: add yourself to the fuse group: 'sudo adduser yourname fuse'
[08:43] <pthread-help-plz> hey, im getting error messages when linking a pthread program. How can I tell my compiler to look in the right location for the pthread library?
[08:43] <LucianSolaris> soundray already a member
[08:43] <Gorlist> Evening
[08:43] <soundray> LucianSolaris: oh
[08:43] <dfgas__> ok, when i close out vnc when running x11vnc on the the linux box, x11vnc closes out, how do i get it to stay running all the time?
[08:43] <jrib> Railer: there's a "Picture Folder" screensaver in system > preferences > screen saver
[08:44] <r00t3r-j03> Gah, How do you install JRE?
[08:44] <tatters> kaje:  not sure if you had same prob as me but if you got a nvidia card adding Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True" to your device in xorg solves the problem
[08:44] <Gorlist> right slight problem - im currently trying to setup NTSF write using the following page for Fiesty - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009
[08:44] <LucianSolaris> i dunno about you guys, but I can order pizza using the following command: pizza [options] 
[08:44] <LucianSolaris> at the command window :D
[08:44] <c0ffee> soundray, when i look up the device in hal-device-manager, it is listed as scsi.type unknown (instead of disk or something)
[08:44] <r00t3r-j03> I have downloaded the RPM Self-Installer, But after i accept the TOS, It just closes the window
[08:44] <Gorlist> the problem im having is the "Enable write support for internal device" is greyed out when I run the config?
[08:44] <Squirrely_Wrath> Can someone help me with a little problem on 6.06 LTS?
[08:44] <soundray> LucianSolaris: in that case, you may have to add uid=1000,gid=1000 to the options in fstab and go back to using sudo mount. Unfortunately, that limits you to that user.
[08:44] <kaje> tatters: thanks, I'll check that out
[08:45] <LucianSolaris> soundray, to save me time, have you a command that gives me my uid?
[08:45] <Gorlist> any suggestions on the possible cause?
[08:45] <LucianSolaris> and gid?
[08:45] <soundray> LucianSolaris: id
[08:45] <tatters> kaje: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-389390.html     link to the fix
[08:45] <Squirrely_Wrath> Okay, since no one said anything I'll just throw my question out there.
[08:45] <soundray> LucianSolaris: :)
[08:46] <pthread-help-plz> can anyone tell me how to point g++ to my pthread library? Getting linking errors on a pthread program
[08:46] <Squirrely_Wrath> In Synaptic package manager, I accidentally deleted the first repository, ubuntu 6.06 lts (source). How would I get that back?
[08:46] <LucianSolaris> soundray even with uid and gid set in fstab, i am still denied
[08:46] <LucianSolaris> to change dir with cd
[08:46] <CCmonster> i found a deb repo for Pidgin, see if it works
[08:46] <LucianSolaris> not to mount (mounted with sudo)
[08:47] <andi_> hallo
[08:47] <CompuCh|p> Hi
[08:47] <soundray> Squirrely_Wrath: 'gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list', remove the comment from the repository you want back.
[08:47] <LucianSolaris> lemmie see if i have an entry for my ipod
[08:47] <andi_> kann pidgin nicht installieren
[08:47] <Squirrely_Wrath> That's the thing, I dunno what the address or anything was for it.  It was one of the defaults.  First in the list.
[08:48] <r00t3r-j03> Can somone help me install JRE? I have downloaded the RPM Self-Installer, But after i accept the TOS, It just closes the window
[08:48] <soundray> Squirrely_Wrath: failing that, create a new sources.list with the upcoming factoid (private message)

[08:48] <soundray> !easysource > Squirrely_Wrath
[08:48] <c0ffee> soundray, playing a bit more with it, it appears that the problem came from a hal from feisty-backports

[08:48] <kaje> tatters: do you know where I can find that nice compiz config tool that Ubuntu had in 6.10?
[08:48] <c0ffee> soundray, removing the backports from sources.list and reinstalling hal (which is indeed a lower version) fixed it
[08:48] <Squirrely_Wrath> Any chance you can pm me and explain that a little.  this is only my second day
[08:48] <Belboz99> Hey all
[08:48] <soundray> c0ffee: excellent, well done.
[08:48] <CompuCh|p> Hmm, clearly Feisty is not ready for me yet. I'll just go back to Edgy for a while :S Too bad, it looks cool.
[08:49] <Belboz99> I need to pipe something to rm, how do I go about that?
[08:49] <soundray> c0ffee: I would never have thought of it...
[08:49] <DrZeus> soundray: i checked error_log again, and found some errors: i had a stop with status 1, and all the time this shows up: cupsdAuthorize: Local authentication certificate not found!
[08:49] <LucianSolaris> damnit!
[08:49] <DrZeus> soundray: be right back
[08:49] <tatters> kaje: sry feisty is my first linux distro
[08:49] <soundray> LucianSolaris: could the problem be your mountpoint permissions, even before you mount?
[08:49] <noname1> \q
[08:49] <__Ace__> wtf
[08:49] <kaje> ahh, ok =) welcome to the good side!
[08:49] <LucianSolaris> soundray elaborate
[08:49] <soundray> DrZeus: that repeated message is just a side effect. You can ignore it.
[08:50] <__Ace__> where can I check whats wrong if I bump out to login screen after typing login and pass?
[08:50] <Squirrely_Wrath> Thanks for hteh elp.  I'll give that a try and see what happens.

[08:52] <LucianSolaris> shouldn't it be as stupid as inserting a CD
[08:52] <LucianSolaris> ?
[08:52] <stefg> UbuntuN00B_HBG: how did you install it?
[08:53] <soundray> LucianSolaris: is it a CD you're trying to mount?
[08:53] <LucianSolaris> no
[08:53] <LucianSolaris> it's wikipediafs
[08:53] <LucianSolaris> a fuse based drive
[08:53] <YetiChick> __Ace__, The last time I saw that, the person having the problem was out of space in their home directory.
[08:53] <LucianSolaris> i also had this issue in the past with extra hdds
[08:54] <LucianSolaris> why the **** can't I read my ****ing drives?
[08:54] <UbuntuN00B_HBG> stefg: dont remember :-[ it was a while ago... (downloaded from official homepage... i think it was a .tar that i just unpacked into /opt) (im currently looking through the /opt dir to try to locate any uninstallation script)
[08:54] <eletido> is there a way to see hidden files/folders from the terminal?

[08:56] <Squirrely_Wrath> *does the zulu dance*  It worked!  wOOhOO!  Thanks.   I know that's a newbie fix and nothing I should celebrate but it helps alot.
[08:56] <Mutal1ty> lets try again
[08:56] <LucianSolaris> HELP does anyone know how to get rid of this:

[08:56] <LucianSolaris> fusermount: mount failed: Operation not permitted
[08:56] <LucianSolaris> fuse: reading device: Bad file descriptor
[08:57] <kneeki> What would be the easiest way to install Pidgin in Ubuntu? They only have Fedora Core/Windows/source on their download site.
[08:57] <Mutal1ty> When I boot, Generic causes the system to hang and the monitor to turn off; I boot recovery Mode, I get the "Failed to initialize HAL" error, and I cannot mount ANY of my drives... though when I boot from the live CD, I don't get the error and I can mount the drives.... can someone help me troubleshoot this?
[08:57] <stefg> UbuntuN00B_HBG: but just deleting the openoffice tree in /opt and thne apt-getting the feisty pacjages should be okay. apt will complain if there's still files in the way
[08:57] <deramin> msn voice chat
[08:57] <deramin> ?
[08:57] <LucianSolaris> OR get me to read the damn drive when mounted with sudo?
[08:57] <Mutal1ty> anyone?
[08:58] <xtknight> spunk, it may be dhclient, not network manager
[08:58] <LucianSolaris> anyone?
[08:58] <xtknight> spunk, check a dhclient conf file
[08:58] <Squirrely_Wrath> One last question.  Is there an easy way to get VLC installed on Ubuntu with all the necessary codecs since ubuntu doesn't support jack squat on the a/v sice of things?
[08:58] <darwin> Is there a good fax program for Ubuntu?
[08:58] <Squirrely_Wrath> or even just codecs that work with the built in programs
[08:58] <xtknight> !fax
[08:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fax - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:58] <Mutal1ty> I'd really like to actually start USING Ubuntu rather than spending days on end FIXING IT
[08:58] <spunk> xtknight, ok. The problem appears when I connect to a VPN using networkmanager...
[08:58] <preaction> Squirrely_Wrath: there's an add/remove programs option for restricted formats
[08:58] <stefg> Squirrely_Wrath: it's just an apt-get away :-)
[08:58] <UbuntuN00B_HBG> stefg: ill try that.. whops... phone... brb if any probs... thanks for the help so far!

[09:00] <joebob777as7> is there a wacom channel or can someone help me troubleshoot an issue?
[09:00] <stefg> Mutal1ty: hold on a sec
[09:00] <bullgard4> What Linux tool will show me the contents of the first storage cells on my USB memory stick?
[09:00] <Mutal1ty> k
[09:00] <xtknight> somebody may be able to help troubleshoot your issue but you'll need to tell us what your issue is
[09:00] <xtknight> bullgard4, what is a "storage cell"?
[09:01] <xtknight> in fact you can see the whole contents of your USB memory stick....most of the time you can just plug it in, but it sounds like that didn't work for you?
[09:01] <CCmonster> so my gf has a computer on our network, and im curious how i would connect to her network, and be able to share my stuff to hers (if possible)
[09:01] <dfgas__> when i close out vnc when running x11vnc on the the linux box, x11vnc closes out, how do i get it to stay running all the time?
[09:01] <stefg> Mutal1ty: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#head-fd6993472b20e64d715ae8f44a496dc2cf9f7cbd and fiddle with the options to see if it gets you further
[09:01] <bullgard4> xtknight: A storage cell is an elementary area on a storage medium that stores information.
[09:01] <YetiChick> Squirrely_Wrath, VLC is installable with synaptic, and mplayer is also quite good.
[09:01] <dyrne> CCmonster: hacker ;p
[09:01] <CCmonster> lol
[09:01] <ydo> bullgard4: hexdump -C /dev/sdb | less for example?
[09:01] <joebob777as7> i am running wacom tools and have my laptop set up to autorotate the screen... it works fine in gnome's window manager but when I turn on beryl my desktop stops refreshing itself when i rotate it and no one in #beryl will help me at all they don't even acknowledge...
[09:01] <Mutal1ty> ok, thaks
[09:01] <Squirrely_Wrath> wow, haven't heard of mplayer in a long time
[09:01] <Mutal1ty> thanks*
[09:01] <bobstro> CCmonster:  different homes i assume?
[09:01] <CCmonster> No,
[09:01] <Squirrely_Wrath> will try all those suggestions
[09:01] <CCmonster> same home
[09:02] <bobstro> CCmonster:  both are linux?
[09:02] <CCmonster> NOPE :(
[09:02] <CCmonster> i wish
[09:02] <YetiChick> Squirrely_Wrath: Mplayer is actually my preferred player.  Not fond of Totem at all.
[09:02] <xtknight> bullgard4, and what is the size of this area?  i dont really understand what you're talking about
[09:02] <xtknight> bullgard4, storage area==sector?
[09:02] <bullgard4> ydo: I will try what you suggested.
[09:02] <bobstro> CCmonster:  what os are they?
[09:02] <spunk> xtknight, Ok, thanks anyway,
[09:02] <ydo> bullgard4: sdb may be something else though
[09:03] <bullgard4> xtknight: I am interested in bytes.
[09:03] <xtknight> bullgard4, ah a raw byte dump of the USB stick
[09:03] <kneeki> How do I determine what version of GTK I am using?
[09:03] <CCmonster> GF = XP ME = Ubuntu
[09:03] <bullgard4> xtknight: What tool is suitable?
[09:03] <xtknight> bullgard4, dd if=/dev/sdb1 | less
[09:04] <xtknight> bullgard4, where /dev/sdb1 is the block device of your USB key
[09:04] <xtknight> that will allow you to scroll through all of the bytes as parsed by LESS
[09:04] <xtknight> a string dump can be obtained by "dd if=/dev/sdb1 | strings | less"
[09:04] <jacekowski> hi
[09:05] <xtknight> you may actually want to use sdb if you mean the device, and sdb1 if you mean the first partition on the device.  if you would like to see the partition table also, sdb is what you'd want
[09:05] <starshipindignat> hi
[09:05] <jacekowski> how on kubuntu 6.06 livecd play ani divx
[09:05] <bobstro> CCmonster:  you can set up samba on your machine. should allow you to pass data both ways, share printers.
[09:05] <jacekowski> amy*
[09:05] <DrZeus> soundray: ok I see; and the E [08/May/2007:13:42:29 -0500]  PID 28622 (/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstocanonij) stopped with status 1! what could that be related to?
[09:05] <dyrne> !restricted > jacekowski
[09:05] <CCmonster> Ah, and to setup samba?
[09:05] <jacekowski> i copied from my gentoo win32 codecs to /usr/lib/codecs

[09:07] <billbalt> I upgraded to feisty and lost my audio. Any suggestions.
[09:07] <MenZa> !audio | billbalt
[09:07] <ubotu> billbalt: 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).

[09:08] <khermans> bullgard4, fdisk
[09:08] <noname1> is there any way to install from the live CD without having to boot up the live installation?
[09:08] <xtknight> bullgard4, perhaps you could give me more of a overview of what you're really trying to do?  i think there are easier ways to do what you want
[09:08] <noname1> 7.05 that is
[09:08] <noname1> er 7.04

[09:09] <khermans> noname1, it offers a text mode
[09:09] <xtknight> bullgard4, if you would like to wipe the partition table, you can go "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdx bs=512 count=1"    that will wipe the first 512 bytes of /dev/sdx where /dev/sdx is your usb key
[09:09] <khermans> bullgard4, fdisk /dev/sdb

[09:22] <suilt> If i want to add a 2 nic to ubuntu that was already installed with the server do i just need to go to /etc/networking/interfaces and add it?

[09:22] <bootsmorris> shane:  type  /join #winehq
[09:22] <Possum> bootsmorris, if you don't want to go all out w/ beryl you can look at enlightenment as a window manager
[09:22] <SoftIce> hi, ubuntu dapper server is supported untill 2011, so is package kernel-patch-vserver kept up to date, as debian has stopped release of this package?
[09:22] <bootsmorris> i just tried beryl and i dont have enough machine to run it smoothly
[09:23] <shwag> why does scanner software always have a Preview button?  Why not just scan?
[09:23] <CCmonster> well thats wack, it wont let me type inside frost wire :O
[09:23] <kritzstapf> shwag: to decide what to scan?
[09:23] <SoftIce> to see if you happy with what the quality will look like
[09:23] <bootsmorris> also i want to kill beryl on my system i closed the little ruby in the tray but it is still running
[09:23] <shwag> kritzstapf: isnt a  'preview' a scan anyways?
[09:23] <Squirrely_Wrath> Because some people like to get an idea of what their scan will look like before they save it to memory.
[09:23] <Squirrely_Wrath> :P
[09:23] <iMilad> i am workong in console and my computer is set to be working with PPPOE, but now I've connected it to a router-style adsl modem that works with DHCP and doesn't need any password and i ubuntu hasn't detected my connection. any solution?
[09:23] <kritzstapf> shwag: its way faster
[09:23] <Possum> bootsmorris, I personally like enlightenment 17 (16.7+ is good as well)... again that's just a personal opinion; you might wanna try it
[09:23] <SoftIce> shwag yes
[09:24] <stefg> SoftIce: after import from debian the ubuntu packages are maintained by ubuntu, not debian anymore.
[09:24] <SoftIce> I see thanks
[09:24] <suilt> so no one knows how to add a nic
[09:25] <bsdfox> anyone here running software raid5?
[09:25] <spx2> why is it that whenever i run fsck(whatever flavour of it) i end up with a read-only partition and a f***** up linux ?
[09:25] <dyrne> suilt: eh?
[09:25] <dyrne> spx2: dont run it on mounted partition :)
[09:25] <shwag> doesnt seem any faster
[09:25] <Possum> spx2, yea, try running it from a livecd
[09:25] <spx2> dyrne, would you be careful to give more details or a place to read about this ?
[09:25] <shwag> but it allows me to select a subsection i guess
[09:26] <suilt> ive been asking on how to activate a nic card via command line, It was already in the box when i installed ubuntu
[09:26] <spx2> Possum, would you care to give a good documentation on this ?
[09:26] <suilt> do i just go to /etc/networking/interfaces
[09:26] <Possum> spx2, docs? nah, I don't read any documentation besides manpages usually >.>
[09:26] <M_42> anyone know a program to record what you are doing on ubuntu

[09:27] <brettnem> Hey, I'm trying to install Fiesty Fawn desktop on a HP Laptop.. It hangs at 46% complete every time
[09:27] <inthepit> Package cups is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[09:28] <concept10> M_42, it does have a gui.. thats what GTK is for
[09:28] <dotpavan> !cups-pdf>inthepit
[09:28] <Possum> M_42, Just a warning... if you're recording beryl your comp will be running _very_ _slowly_ while recording
[09:28] <compengi> how can i change my username's pass?
[09:28] <concept10> please, no more beryl screencasts
[09:28] <atarinox> is there a program which i can use on linux to stream mp3's from my windows box?
[09:28] <compengi> through the terminal
[09:28] <nickrud> compengi, passwd
[09:29] <inthepit> !cups-pdf
[09:29] <compengi> nickrud, only passwd newpass?
[09:29] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cups-pdf - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:29] <nickrud> compengi, just type passwd, it'll prompt
[09:29] <dotpavan> atarinox: you want to play streaming mp3 (being streamed from a m/c)?
[09:30] <mads-> Is there a file who contains the current chosen screensaver?
[09:30] <dotpavan> inthepit: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/03/23/print-to-pdf-using-cups-pdf/

[09:30] <atarinox> dotpavan: m/c? ....i have mp3's on my windows box, on my local network, which i'd like to stream on my linux laptop
[09:31] <LtL> atarinox - try amarok or vlc to stream
[09:31] <nickrud> mads-, that's kept in the .gconf directory; gconf-editor will let you browse that configuration stuff
[09:31] <nickrud> compengi, yw
[09:31] <inthepit> Package cups-pdf is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[09:31] <inthepit> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[09:31] <inthepit> is only available from another source
[09:31] <inthepit> E: Package cups-pdf has no installation candidate
[09:31] <jacekowski> atarinox: samba
[09:31] <dotpavan> atarinox: use vlc to stream the mp3s from the windows box, and use any player like xmms to play the stream
[09:32] <Dr_Drainman> anyone nows why mplayer wont play video files on a windows network share??
[09:32] <dyrne> inthepit: im not on ubuntu right now.. maybe someone can apt-cache madison cups-pdf for you
[09:32] <nickrud> inthepit, cups-pdf is in the universe repo; you'll need to enable it
[09:32] <Dr_Drainman> it does when opening them on my own hdd
[09:32] <dotpavan> inthepit: check your sources.list against the one listed here: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_add_extra_repositories
[09:32] <Squirrely_Wrath> How do I tell ubuntu to save a theme to a folder on my desktop so I can drag it into my theme manager?  I want to save it in /desktop/themes

[09:33] <YetiChick> Dr_Drainman:  What error are you getting?
[09:33] <spx2> Possum dyrne you know that fsck runs after a certain number of cold-reboots or boots , and it is automated to run , how do i stop it from running ?

[09:33] <spx2> Possum dyrne because if it does run it messes up my whole system
[09:33] <Dr_Drainman> YetiChick: non... how do i open files trough the terminal??
[09:33] <Dr_Drainman> YetiChick: i know how
[09:33] <dyrne> spx2: i forget the scriptname in /etc/init.d/ but you can sudo update-rc.d -f scriptname remove  itll still chack / but not the other paritions
[09:33] <stefg> Squirrely_Wrath: misconception... your theme-folder is .themes. that's fixed and already decided for you
[09:33] <Gorlist> Hi, having some problems with Onboard sound - fresh install of Fiesty 7.04, everything is running fine though I have no sound...  Using a ASRock  AM2NF3-VSTA/A/ASR    -   any suggestions?
[09:33] <dotpavan> brettnem: tricky? no, messy? might be
[09:33] <Dr_Drainman> YetiChick: but not a smb share
[09:34] <spx2> dyrne, isnt this a common problem amongst new linux users ?
[09:34] <brettnem> dotpavan: will synaptic install it? or do I need a new repo?
[09:34] <Dr_Drainman> YetiChick: it wont give me any errors when opening from nautilus
[09:34] <Squirrely_Wrath> so when I try to install a theme, it askes me what location.  what do I put in there?
[09:34] <YetiChick> Dr_Drainman:  For something like that, I usually mount the smb share.
[09:34] <dyrne> spx2: the check it does shouldnt hurt anything.. im not sure what youre running into
[09:34] <nuxil> hi all
[09:35] <dotpavan> brettnem: synaptic is sufficient
[09:35] <ctrl_> ahi
[09:35] <Dr_Drainman> YetiChick: ok, but im on a laptop can i make it mount only if im on this network or is that done by it self??
[09:35] <didem> I've installed all the packages I could find with Turkish in them in synaptic, and the search I did didnt turn up any dictionaries for OO
[09:35] <brettnem> dotpavan: great thanks. saw a lot of people in forums saying it didn't install from synaptic
[09:35] <ctrl_> anyone also had this problem: after upgrading to 7.04, opneoffice opens documents just read-only from nfs-shares...?
[09:35] <nickrud> Squirrely_Wrath, ~/.themes
[09:35] <dyrne> spx2: could it be bad hd and ubuntu runing fsck is not cause but just another symptom?
[09:35] <nuxil> is ther anyting i need to enable to get the com port working on feisty? im using kernel 2.6.20-15-386
[09:35] <johnficc1> I installed a mac like metacity theme then I didn't like and tryed to switch back to human and now the human window border is very thin and ugly, does anyone know how to fix this ?
[09:36] <bootsmorris> how do i enable enlightenment window manager
[09:36] <ncd> what motherboard and cpu should I be in holy matrimony with
[09:36] <SoftIce> hi, is only main updated in ubuntu dapper?
[09:36] <nickrud> Squirrely_Wrath, but you can just drag the tarball onto the themes preference manager
[09:36] <SoftIce> or is backports, etc updated too?
[09:36] <Squirrely_Wrath> I have a feeling this will be loads of fun learning this. *cough!* now I gotta learn a new file system and whatnot. lol
[09:36] <stefg> Squirrely_Wrath: it asks for the .tgz /source/-file, but the them itself will be unpacked to ~/.themes. just drag the downloaded .tgz into the theme-manager taht's tehe easiest way
[09:36] <ncd> Im thinking a dc opteron + nvidia 590SLI board...
[09:36] <johnficc1> I am running ubuntu feisty fawn

[09:37] <bootsmorris> how do i use enlightenment window manager, i downloaded it...  now what??
[09:37] <dotpavan> brettnem: with feisty, it isnt a prb

[09:42] <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+)
[09:42] <hellbound_> I tried downloading it but not working
[09:42] <nuxil> is there a way to check if the com port is working ?
[09:42] <dotpavan> hellbound: sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin
[09:42] <hellbound_> I had it installed on ubuntu before

[09:42] <hellbound> dotpavan:explain better please?
[09:42] <coolgeek> guys, when i shut down, i get a error about usr/bin/bionic cannot be found...
[09:42] <coolgeek> How do i stop that?
[09:43] <dotpavan> hellbound: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin
[09:43] <hellbound> kk thanks
[09:43] <nuxil> LtL, thanks.. let me check that out ;)
[09:43] <stefg> LtL: yup... saves typing and explaining the stuff over and over
[09:43] <bootsmorris> that is too advanced for me
[09:43] <dotpavan> hellbound: you have to accept the license agreement to complete the install
[09:43] <CCmonster> p.s. which NTFS app should i go with
[09:43] <rever75> Hi I have Feisty installed on a workstation. I would like to have me and 2 other able to log into it remotely. Like a terminal server. Is this possible and what do I need to install?
[09:43] <xtla> when will ubuntu put pidgin in their repositories?
[09:43] <CCmonster> there are multiple, and im not sure which is the way to go
[09:43] <hellbound> said it could not get lock
[09:43] <hellbound> going to save the command restart and try it again
[09:43] <bootsmorris> i have the little cd player controls on the front of my laptop and they dont work.  how can i get them to work??
[09:44] <dotpavan> bootsmorris: for toshiba satellite, I doubt if they work
[09:44] <coolgeek> looks like ubuntu is trying to load the bionc server and then trying to close it..
[09:44] <coolgeek> but its not there to do eaither.. how do i tell it to stop
[09:44] <bootsmorris> how did you know that is what i had?
[09:45] <CCmonster> i have a 5 button mouse, is there a way to get my buttons programmed
[09:45] <nuxil> LtL, do you know if the com port is disabled by default in kernel 2.6.20-386 ? i did a lsmod and get serio_raw loaded
[09:45] <CCmonster> because, my back button on the mouse isnt active and wont go back on webpages like it should
[09:45] <dotpavan> bootsmorris: :) I remember reading a few mins before (I aint spying)
[09:45] <johnficc1> I installed a mac like metacity theme then I didn't like and tryed to switch back to human and now the human window border is very thin and ugly, does anyone know how to fix this ?
[09:45] <bootsmorris> ic
[09:45] <bootsmorris> ok
[09:45] <bootsmorris> well
[09:46] <LtL> nuxil - try 'ls /dev'   the port should have a node assigned to it.
[09:46] <aldin> i have kubuntu 7.04 x86_64, ho to install opera for 64bit arch?
[09:46] <bootsmorris> i figured out how to get the fn buttons working (some of them still dont)  but what about the other shortcut buttons?
[09:46] <LtL> nuxil - example tcpdump -v -i eth0
[09:46] <bootsmorris> and hibernation and power management
[09:47] <kevkev832> anyone know of a linux UBUNTU NAT network address translation for Router software? tq.
[09:47] <nuxil> LtL, i never said anything about my nic's.. its the com port "serial" port
[09:47] <dotpavan> fn buttons work fine, others have a prob.. even HD temp and fan control arent perfect inspite of having tosh-utils and fnfxd in ubuntu
[09:47] <bootsmorris> kevkev832:  what kind of router
[09:47] <kahrytan> kevkev832: Trying to build a Linux router?
[09:47] <nuxil> LtL, why eth0?
[09:47] <dotpavan> bootsmorris: fn buttons work fine, others have a prob.. even HD temp and fan control arent perfect inspite of having tosh-utils and fnfxd in ubuntu
[09:47] <bootsmorris> i dont have tosh-utils and fnfxd installed
[09:48] <[xtla] > how do i turn of avahi-daemon, really irritating with that message at the start every time you log in...
[09:48] <YetiChick> CCMonster:  I *hate* setting that button for "back".  Ick.  I end up hitting it by accident a dozen times a day.  That said, it would involve setting options in both your x server config and your desktop environment.
[09:48] <kevkev832> router for NAT network address translation so that our ip cameras, LAN computers can get on the internet.  we use it for our Wireless setup too. tq.
[09:48] <bootsmorris> i tried to and it said something about /proc or something like that
[09:48] <dotpavan> aldin: does opera have 64-bit ver out? I dount
[09:49] <bootsmorris> how do i install them?
[09:49] <nuxil> LtL, hmm.. ls -la /dev/ttyS0 game me this..
[09:49] <nuxil> crw-rw-rw-  1 root  tty       3,  48 2007-05-06 16:12 ttys0
[09:49] <nuxil> crw-rw----  1 root  dialout   4,  64 2007-05-06 16:12 ttyS0
[09:49] <nuxil> strange
[09:49] <kevkev832> cause i can't figure out how to use www.mikrotik.com router its too complicated. i rather use a LINUX router if they make something comparable to mikrotik which is popular amount small to medium size ISP
[09:49] <frojnd> How can I change resolution to 1240*1024 since there is no such option under Monito & display? only in xorg...
[09:49] <coolgeek> how can i completely remove boinc frm my computer?
[09:49] <CCmonster> so where do i start YETICHICK
[09:49] <frojnd> coolgeek: apt-get remove boinc-client
[09:49] <LtL> nuxil - you might apt-get install sysstat   [universe repo] 
[09:50] <dotpavan> bootsmorris: I apt-get installed fnfxd and tosh-utils, but they dont get inserted into the kernel.. you have to recompile or something 9I didnt want to risk)
[09:50] <cox377> FOR SOME reason, when i go to log in ubuntu just hangs, it's the new 704 version, it doesnt crash just doesnt load
[09:50] <dotpavan> bootsmorris: for seeing which progs are there specially for toshiba, do this: "apt-cache search toshiba"
[09:50] <bootsmorris> i am not even gonna attempt to recompile
[09:50] <kahrytan> kevkev832: Why can't you just use regular router?
[09:50] <bobiiiiu> http://bobochan.free.fr/clique.php
[09:51] <boblenain> http://bobochan.free.fr/clique.php
[09:51] <jujimufu> does anybody know any good video-capturing programs?
[09:51] <johnficc1> I installed a mac like metacity theme then I didn't like and tryed to switch back to human and now the human window border is very thin and ugly, does anyone know how to fix this ?
[09:51] <coolgeek> frojnd: im having problems as that command and any other removal command says its not installed
[09:51] <coolgeek> frojnd: but when i shut down my computer im getting bionc errors.
[09:52] <nuxil> LtL, now. what do i do with these tools?
[09:52] <YetiChick> CCMonster:  Well, in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, first.  One second.
[09:52] <LtL> nuxil - gnome ppp might configure your port also.
[09:52] <kevkev832> well we'll have 10 ip cameras, 6 hotspots,  3 wireless bridges using 2 parabolic grid dish antennaes, 1 omni,  15-25 LAN desktops, 1 squid server.  currently we are using mikrotik to route all those ip adresses so they can go through the internet. what you mean by using a regular router? u mean one of them home user Wireless Access Point routers?
[09:53] <neildarlow> jujimufu: kino works nicely
[09:53] <LtL> nuxil - gnome ppp is a GUI app.
[09:53] <inthepit> ok... got the cup-pdf installed.  how can i enable it via command line.  i can only access the ubuntu machine over ssh
[09:53] <spunk> Anyone with experience with openvpn+networkmanager=problem with resolv.conf?
[09:53] <CCmonster> why is it that when i plugged in my USB webcamera..
[09:53] <CCmonster> the camera import thing is going nuts
[09:53] <dotpavan> inthepit: the link I sent previously has the info to start the cups-pdf
[09:53] <YetiChick> CCMonster:  http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-3828.html
[09:53] <CCmonster> every few seconds popping up
[09:53] <nuxil> hmm
[09:54] <CCmonster> "CAMERA IMPORT"
[09:54] <kahrytan> kevkev832: So you need yourself big @** HUB. and link them all together?
[09:54] <LtL> inthepit - i'd suggest /etc/init.d/cupsys start
[09:54] <deramin> that looks about right
[09:54] <CCmonster> fucking thing is going nuts
[09:54] <LjL> !language
[09:54] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[09:54] <YetiChick> CCMonster:  Might have something you can use for your mouse there.
[09:54] <kevkev832> yes a NAT router, plus also the ability to limit bandwidth pertaining to each static ip addresses for our LAN computers as well as those laptops that get on with dhcp.  does linux make such a router software?
[09:55] <LtL> kevkev832 - iptables will do all of that.
[09:55] <bobstro> kevkev832:  you can certainly do that, but don't overlook the linksys routers running modified (linux) firmware.
[09:56] <bobstro> kevkev832:  if your shared link is typical (e.g. dsl or cable) they may be the perfect fit.
[09:56] <kahrytan> http://www.dd-wrt.com/
[09:56] <cheeseboy> no i need to change permissions of eggdrop modules folder for eggdrop to work?
[09:56] <bobstro> kevkev832:  there are several that will do exactly what you're describing.
[09:56] <cheeseboy> do8
[09:57] <coolgeek> frojnd: but when i shut down my computer im getting bionc errors.
[09:57] <spunk> Im going nuts! Is the networkmanager in 7.04 broken or what?
[09:57] <kevkev832> yeah we pay 800 usd/month for our KUBAND satellite internet that give us 300 mbits/second which is more like 150mbits/sec  cause were a factory in the middle of a junle. okay great i'll look at those. tq very much.
[09:57] <frojnd> coolgeek: apt-get remove boinc-manager
[09:57] <bootsmorris> i need help installing steam in wine
[09:57] <cheeseboy> do i need to change permissions of eggdrop modules folder for eggdrop to work?
[09:57] <coolgeek> frojnd: ive done that
[09:57] <bobstro> kevkev832:  well... now that you've described what you need, no those won't work.
[09:58] <frojnd> coolgeek: and also apt-get remove boinc-client ?
[09:58] <bobstro> kevkev832:  you'll need something that can handle those speeds.
[09:58] <kahrytan> kevkev832: Goto http://www.dd-wrt.com for the OSS Linksys firmware.
[09:58] <kane77> what can I use to open .rmvb files? (those are real media variable bitrate files i guess)
[09:58] <coolgeek> yes,,, but they both says its removed... I dont see it eaither, except when i do locate boinc
[09:58] <bobstro> kevkev832:  the linksys are 10/100 max
[09:59] <LtL> cheeseboy - you need not change any permissions to run an eggy. depending on where you install it. e.g., ~/homedir

[09:59] <bobstro> kahrytan:  sounds like it.
[09:59] <solsTiCe> it's a session problem
[09:59] <kevkev832> oops i'm sorry, i meant to say 300 bits/sec. u know just a lil less than dsl. well i forgot its the typical download speed for satelite internet.  okay i'll go read that site. tq.
[10:00] <bobstro> kahrytan:  ups the ante a bit.
[10:00] <LtL> ccmonster - open vlc try device video0

[10:00] <spunk> Is there a IRC-channel for only network related problem?
[10:00] <bobstro> kevkev832:  the linksys may be ideal. you've got ethernet ports for that link, right?
[10:00] <kevkev832> yup, we have ethernet ports.
[10:00] <qman> hello everyone, I'm having a problem with dhcpd
[10:01] <LtL> cheeseboy - i know of no one who has gotten the ubuntu eggdrop to work. install from source tarball and edir eggdrop.conf
[10:01] <isti> Hello !!! Could someone show me how I can print a DVD label (a programm is the best)?
[10:01] <kahrytan> bobstro: could he use Hubs that connect to the router?
[10:01] <bobstro> kevkev832:  yes, the linksys + dd-wrt will be ideal.
[10:01] <bobstro> kahrytan:  or just link to a switch internally for the desktops.
[10:01] <Vistasux> How do i simply login as root from consol so i dont have to type sudo the whole time
[10:01] <kahrytan> bobstro: And He's got all those cameras.
[10:02] <Draconicus> brb
[10:02] <bobstro> kevkev832:  you'll still want a proxy etc. for performance, but the linksys is a breeze to set up for everything else you describe for the sat link.
[10:02] <dotpavan> !glabel>isti
[10:02] <qman> I have a system with four network cards, eth0 - eth3. I am setting this machine up as the main router and internet gateway for my network. eth0 will be attached to the internet with an automatically assigned address, and the other three interfaces run 192.168.x.x networks, with a DHCP server running on the same box. However, dhcpd will not start unless I define a subnet for eth0. Since it's dynamic, I can't very well do this. Is there
[10:02] <qman>  a workaround?
[10:02] <nuxil> !lirc
[10:02] <LtL> Vistasux - you would have to enable root passwd [not recommended]  sudo passwd root
[10:02] <bobstro> kahrytan:  i'm seeing those as "internal", so the linksys mostly to shape traffic for the sat link.
[10:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about lirc - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:02] <nuxil> !lircd
[10:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about lircd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:02] <Flannel> Vistasux: you don't want to enable the root password, if you want a root terminal, `sudo -i` will give you one

[10:10] <LtL> cheeseboy - get a real copy of eggdrop, tar -zxvf eggdrop.tar.gz then cd eggdrop.xxx then ./configure : make : make install : edit eggdrop.conf. simple.
[10:10] <mike71800b> thanx guys
[10:10] <FunnyLookinHat> isti, probably the best way would be to use Gimp and then when you go to print choose the correct side dimensions so your printer scales it correctly
[10:10] <coolgeek> is there a shutdown log or similar?
[10:10] <Tangrim> bonsoir
[10:11] <dyrne> cheeseboy: what was your question?
[10:11] <guest2378> Is there an ettercap support channel?
[10:11] <coolgeek> Flannel: ?
[10:11] <isti> FunnyLookHat, yes but what pixel is that ?
[10:11] <cheeseboy> dyrne im getting errors about loading modules
[10:11] <matej> hey, which is good client for torrents like azureus?
[10:11] <bisaru> anyone know the wiki page for installing beryl on feisty?

[10:12] <FunnyLookinHat> isti, it's not in pixels...  it would be in inches.  Just use a ruler on a DVD to find the dimensions.
[10:12] <hbaigu> isti: i never used but appear that gLabels do that
[10:12] <Nanu> Flannel explain more
[10:12] <budluva_> matej: what environment are you running? kde or gnome?
[10:12] <dyrne> qman: there is ##linux
[10:12] <coolgeek> there must be some sort of shutdown log somewhere
[10:12] <cheeseboy> dyrne yes one sec

[10:19] <LtL> cheeseboy - it installed in the wrong place.
[10:19] <s-ndh-c> hey guys

[10:20] <kane77> I recently noticed my mouse is lagging a lot at higher loads. what could be the cause?
[10:20] <LtL> cheeseboy - get the source tarball and compile it. the synaptic install or apt-get install eggdrop never worked for anyone i know of.
[10:20] <s-ndh-c> can someone tell me how that automount stuff works? i mean what components are involved? i want to create rules for the mounted volumes so it gets mounted with the right options that my user cann write to it
[10:20] <kivi> i love ubuntu... :)

[10:21] <kivi> ive just installed it... and i love it
[10:21] <majnoon> yup get same thing
[10:21] <cheeseboy> Ltl anything i have to install first?
[10:21] <majnoon> even tried chmod +s too
[10:21] <LtL> cheeseboy - it might complain about missing tcl stuff but synaptic has tcl somewhere.
[10:22] <LtL> cheeseboy - you cant hurt anything trying
[10:22] <majnoon> even installed non-wodim cdrtools too same thing
[10:22] <s-ndh-c> i just cant belive it mounts my reiserfs partition on my usbdisk with access for root only

[10:23] <aimtrainer> hi! im preparing a usb stick to install feisty from. In the tutorial it says I'm suppose to copy the files from the ubuntu cd. Would it make a difference to unpack the iso with winrar (atm at a win machine) so I would not need to burn the iso first?

[10:27] <dooglus> !virtualizers
[10:27] <LtL> cheeseboy - http://www.eggheads.org/   get your compile-feet wet :)
[10:27] <ubotu> There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu or !qvm86), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications
[10:27] <stefg> dooglus: you can't
[10:27] <dotpavan> mavers: so you arent even getting a terminal?
[10:27] <mavers> no I am not

[10:27] <cheeseboy> LtL build-essential somtin like that?
[10:27] <Flannel> !compile | cheeseboy
[10:27] <ubotu> cheeseboy: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[10:27] <Linuturk> I can still click the launchers on my menus, but the entire screen is white!!!
[10:28] <cheeseboy> i know how to compile
[10:28] <dooglus> stefg: you think "you can't" is a sensible answer to my question?  you think it's technically impossible to do what I'm asking about?
[10:28] <Nanu> How to write a directory of  this folder name (New Folder) i mean there is a space .. what should i put instead?
[10:28] <cheeseboy> just not the thing i need
[10:28] <LtL> cheeseboy - yes, you will need build-essential to compile anything
[10:28] <majnoon> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19845/ eck
[10:28] <mavers> dotpavan:  No, I've been using it for a day or two...was just trying to get some extra buttons on my logitech mouse working when I rebooted, then it didn't load.  I had to power down manually during this.
[10:28] <alecjw> Linuturk, wait 30 secs or so and it will go back to normal
[10:28] <stefg> dooglus: IT IS NOT POSSIBLE
[10:28] <dotpavan> Nanu: use "\"
[10:28] <Linuturk> alecjw, I already logged out and back in. It isn't going back to normal!!
[10:28] <LtL> cheeseboy - sudo apt-get install build-essential
[10:29] <kanpachi> hello, i was using ubuntu and now i installed the xubuntu-desktop package and i wanna get rid of the ubuntu logo at boot and replace it with the xubuntu logo, how do i do it please?
[10:29] <Nanu> \ = space?
[10:29] <alecjw> Linuturk, then you must have accidentally clicked "keep the new settings"
[10:29] <mavers> dotpavan: I already undid the changes in xorg.conf that I had made when working on the mouse...that didn't solve anything
[10:29] <Linuturk> alecjw, is there a config file I can delete ?
[10:29] <cheeseboy> Package build-essential is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[10:29] <cheeseboy> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[10:29] <cheeseboy> is only available from another source
[10:29] <cheeseboy> E: Package build-essential has no installation candidate
[10:29] <eck> majnoon: look at dmesg just in case any errors were printed there
[10:29] <dooglus> stefg: why do you say that?
[10:30] <dotpavan> mavers: and there is no error message either? hmmn
[10:30] <LtL> cheeseboy - open synaptic and enable universe and multiverse
[10:30] <majnoon> i'll look dmsg|grep cdrom ??
[10:30] <eck> majnoon: just tail it
[10:30] <eck> e.g. dmesg | tail -n 30
[10:30] <lbawinowns> !openoffice

[10:31] <solsTiCe> omg. rythmbox really sucks. ican't resize the column. and i can't even reisze the window. that too big too fit on my screen.
[10:31] <mavers> dotpavan: no error, when in recovery it loads a bunch of stuff, then the last line I saw was something like 58.123456 [10:31] <dooglus> stefg: help.ubuntu.com tells me "With VMWare workstation you can also use an existing physical partition as a virtual machine. VMware workstation requires a paid license to use." - which seems to contradict you.  I'm hoping to find a more free way of doing the same.
[10:31] <LtL> cheeseboy - it's in the development repo
[10:31] <cheeseboy> ltl/
[10:31] <alecjw> Linuturk, try going into the terminal (ctrl+alt+f1) and doign the command killall compiz ; killall compiz.real
[10:31] <stefg> dooglus: so go, buy vmware-workstation and ask  vmware for support :-)
[10:31] <cheeseboy> allare enabled
[10:32] <mavers> dotpavan:  Is there a way from the live cd that i can backup everything in my home/<user> directory and then just reinstall?
[10:32] <dotpavan> mavers: oh, then maybe the disk is corrupted.. try booting from a live CD and see if the drives are ok..
[10:32] <mavers> dotpavan:  I have it booted to a live cd...how do I check the drive?
[10:32] <dooglus> stefg: no
[10:32] <dotpavan> mavers: the partition is mounted automatically?
[10:33] <cheeseboy> LtL
[10:33] <cheeseboy> wont install
[10:33] <HamfistedIdiot> Good evening. I've been pointed to this IRC channel for some beginner-friendly support. I think I've been a bit of a klutz and broken nautilus. May I pick someone's brain for some advice, please?
[10:33] <LtL> cheeseboy - try #eggdrop channel. build-essential is definetly available.
[10:33] <Linuturk> alecjw, deleting the .gconf and .gconfd files fixed the problem
[10:33] <majnoon> eck no see any errors
[10:33] <mavers> dotpavan: I was able to mount it using nautilus (double-clicked the 54G disk in the left hand pane)
[10:33] <cheeseboy> LtL
[10:33] <alecjw> Linuturk, ok
[10:34] <cheeseboy> it wont let me install and ive tried there
[10:34] <majnoon>  i have BAD feeling it bad generic scsi driver(s)
[10:34] <LtL> cheeseboy - what is the error?
[10:34] <eck> majnoon: from pastebin it looks like cdrecord thinks your device is just a reader (i.e. DVD-ROM)
[10:34] <dotpavan> mavers: then just get the home dir out safely (copied somewhere over network or somewhere online)
[10:34] <eck> HamfistedIdiot: what's the problem?
[10:34] <cheeseboy> Package build-essential is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[10:34] <cheeseboy> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[10:34] <cheeseboy> is only available from another source
[10:34] <majnoon> is there a way to fix that ??
[10:35] <dotpavan> mavers: randomly check if the files are ok..
[10:35] <eck> majnoon: there might be some esoteric cdrecord option, check the man page
[10:35] <cheeseboy> help?
[10:35] <aventin> hello! i'm a recent convert, and i'm having serious problem configuring my trackpad. it's supposed to work when installing "gsynaptics" - but i can't get it to work. Please? Anyone?
[10:35] <cheeseboy> ??
[10:35] <topcat> HanfistedIdiot -- Welcome to the chatroom from another newbie
[10:35] <HamfistedIdiot> I can't get any response from any entries in the "Places" menu, and none of the folder icons (Computer, Home, Network, etc.) on the Desktop respond with a nautilus window.
[10:35] <LtL> majnoon - try using xcdroast and choose the proper crdom manually.
[10:35] <s-ndh-c> hm it allways mounts my reiserfs partition without uid or gid parameter so only root can write to it, any idea to solve that?
[10:35] <majnoon> i'll look
[10:35] <dotpavan> mavers: actually, try "fsck", this might fix the prob (i.e. IF the disk had some hiccups)
[10:35] <mc44> cheeseboy: what does apt-cache policy build-essential say?
[10:35] <HamfistedIdiot> If I try to launch any of those folders, right-click on the Desktop also stops working.
[10:35] <LtL> xcdroast has never failed me.
[10:35] <Cyrus25801> topcat: can you help me mount a sata drive
[10:35] <s-ndh-c> it seems like the thing that calls pmount is gnome-volume-manager,but i cant find anything usefull in gconf to configure it
[10:35] <HamfistedIdiot> Thanks, topcat.
[10:35] <matej> how to set ports on qtorrent_
[10:36] <s-ndh-c> any hints?
[10:36] <eck> HamfistedIdiot: i would try backing up ~/.nautilus and ~/.gconf/apps/nautilus and then removing those directories; when you log back in they should be regenerated with the default values, which may fix your problem
[10:36] <topcat> Cyrus25801 -- I am afraid not, all of my equipment is older
[10:37] <pure> would anybody know why my wireless connection (broadcom w/ laptop) is incredibly slow?
[10:37] <wedontneed> how can i install my x1950 driver?
[10:37] <HamfistedIdiot> eck: I'll try that now. Thanks.
[10:37] <Cyrus25801> topcat: thanx
[10:37] <saftsack> hi, is there a reason why speedstep-centrino isnt included by feisty?
[10:37] <LtL> Cyrus25801 sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/your-pre-made-mount point/ or whichever partition you need.
[10:37] <eck> saftsack: because it's speedstep_centrino ;-)
[10:38] <topcat> General question:  I installed edubuntu 7.04 and had some weird problems.  Anyone else relate?
[10:38] <Cyrus25801> LtL: cool it seems that the command worked. but nothing comes up.nothing really happens.
[10:38] <eck> topcat: i think that's a little too general
[10:39] <saftsack> eck, modprobe doesnt make a dfference between - and _
[10:39] <s-ndh-c> who would want a automount feature that mounts unix filesystems so only root can write to them?
[10:39] <eck> saftsack: well either way, it's loaded on my computer (without doing anything special)
[10:39] <LtL> Cyrus25801 - check 'ls -la /media/'    see if it mounted.
[10:39] <ex-parrot> can anyone tell me what I need to do to get lpr working under Feisty?
[10:39] <s-ndh-c> seems silly as ubuntu is most likely used in single user configuration anyways
[10:39] <solsTiCe> wtf. what's that frakked up desktop that is gnome ? i can't get a wm to run if i enable saved session and firefox may be that do its frakking mess ...
[10:39] <LtL> Cyrus25801 - or type 'mount'
[10:39] <s-ndh-c> i mean there will only be that one user using it
[10:39] <eck> s-ndh-c: so use fstab and automount will ignore it
[10:40] <solsTiCe> googdbye ubuntu
[10:40] <topcat> OK, then-- I have 12 terminal server clients that used to load in about 2-3 minutes.  After the upgrade thay take up to one hour to connect.
[10:40] <James085> does somebody play flightgear @ Ubuntu?
[10:40] <s-ndh-c> eck: but its a usb hdd and i dont want to mount it manualy
[10:40] <__mikem> James085, I did but I wasn't really impressed with it
[10:40] <Fathefner> i cant burn DVDs "media is not formatted or unsupported." thats what it tells me all the DVD burning software tell me the same thing
[10:40] <s-ndh-c> i just dont understand why gnome-volume-manager isnt more customizable
[10:40] <asdir> does anyhere know who I can see the specifications of my RAM-chips without actually opening the box? Any command or some such?
[10:40] <shane_> Help! I use Wine, and I cannot get my keyboard to work!
[10:40] <eck> s-ndh-c: with what mount options? it should use the permissions on the hdd
[10:40] <asdir> *anyone here
[10:41] <Cyrus25801> LtL: when I try to go to /media/windows where i mounted it it tell me i don't have permission to access the folder
[10:41] <dooglus> s-ndh-c: nothing in GNOME is very customizable.  use KDE if you want customization.
[10:41] <s-ndh-c> eck: with uid=myuser and gid=myuser
[10:41] <James085> I want to install a aircraft @ Flightgear but I can't find how to install it in the right way
[10:41] <saftsack> eck, do you have 2.6.20-15-lowlatency?
[10:41] <dyrne> asdir: other than cat /proc/meminfo i dunno
[10:41] <Cyrus25801> LtL: when I run the command you gave me part of the output is: /dev/sda1 on /media/windows type ntfs (rw)
[10:41] <LtL> Cyrus25801 - yeah, its mounted with superuser access, you need sudo
[10:41] <eck> s-ndh-c: mount it normally so the permissions are correct
[10:41] <majnoon> need to install xcdroast first
[10:41] <eck> saftsack: i'm using the generic kernel
[10:41] <saftsack> eck, ok
[10:41] <Macce> hello :D
[10:42] <HamfistedIdiot> eck: No dice, I'm afraid. ~/.nautilus got recreated, and the desktop icons reappeared nicely tiled, but ~/.gconf/apps/nautilus did not get recreated, and the behaviour described still occurs.
[10:42] <s-ndh-c> i see
[10:42] <Cyrus25801> LtL: I don't understand
[10:42] <s-ndh-c> i think i will just use udevrules then
[10:42] <eck> s-ndh-c: uid and gid are not options for most unix filesystems (look at the mount man page)
[10:42] <asdir> what I meant was data like vendor or if it's DDR2 or 3, these kinda things
[10:42] <majnoon> LtL:  need to install xcdroast first doing it now
[10:42] <Corbin|Tuxing> i cant burn DVDs "media is not formatted or unsupported." thats what it tells me all the DVD burning software tell me the same thing
[10:42] <s-ndh-c> i think i can execute a command like pmount with some optiosn in an udev rule
[10:42] <dooglus> HamfistedIdiot: try making a new user and seeing if he has the same problem
[10:42] <s-ndh-c> i guess that should do it
[10:42] <s-ndh-c> :)
[10:42] <dotpavan> majnoon: xcdroast is for kde, gnome-baker is for gnome
[10:42] <eck> s-ndh-c: the gnome automount already uses pmount
[10:43] <LtL> majnoon - i don't know if xcdroast does dvd's.
[10:43] <HamfistedIdiot> dooglus: Thanks. I'll try that now.
[10:43] <dotpavan> majnoon: though it doesnt matter, just htought of letting you know
[10:43] <Macce> any idea how to put baryl to ubuntu ?
[10:43] <LtL> Cyrus25801 - sudo ls -la /media/windows
[10:44] <majnoon> no want dvd
[10:44] <dyrne> !beryl| Macce
[10:44] <ubotu> Macce: Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[10:44] <majnoon> it cd burner /dvd reader
[10:44] <LtL> majnoon - dvdrip is a place to start
[10:44] <mattwalston> anyone know of working hardware raid devices for ubuntu?
[10:44] <Macce> oki :P
[10:44] <eck> err i guess not
[10:45] <Cyrus25801> LtL: I see the dirctories listed but how do I access it through the GUI (file manager)
[10:45] <zwerkje> semi hardware drive by bios?
[10:45] <Macce> any newbies here ? :D
[10:45] <LtL> Cyrus25801 - configure nautilus to do so. you'll need the wiki or others docs to accomplish that but it's not difficult.
[10:46] <aventin> just a quick question; when guides say "Restart X", does that mean Ctrl-Alt-Backspace?
[10:46] <Cyrus25801> LtL: thanx a stack
[10:46] <eck> aventin: yes, that's fine
[10:46] <dyrne> Macce: all the newbies hang out in #gentoo :)
[10:46] <LtL> Cyrus25801 - use fuse to mount ntfs drives for r/w access.
[10:46] <fxfitz> I've been having troubles with my battery life, so I downloaded cpufrequtils and tried changing my processor speed to powersave (instead of performance). Once I did that, I didn't notice anything different about the battery life and I noticed that whenenver by CPU did something, a small (but highly annoying) sound came out of the laptop. I turned it back to performance, uninstalled cpufrequtils, but its still happening. Can anyone help me? It
[10:46] <fxfitz> s driving me nuts.
[10:46] <aventin> eck: and when i do that, all my open programs are closed, right?
[10:46] <eck> aventin: you should preferably do it after logging out, when you're at the gdm login screen
[10:47] <aventin> eck: ah, makes sense.
[10:47] <HamfistedIdiot> dooglus: I just created a new user, as per your suggestion. The problem does not seem to occur with that account. So I'm wondering what I did to break it under my own account.
[10:47] <aventin> eck: thanks! :)
[10:47] <eck> no problem :-)
[10:47] <__mikem> Hey I have a photograph that has dust on it and is a bit out of focus. I scanned it into my machine and now need to find a piece of software to doctor the picture. GIMP didn't cut it so I need some suggestions.
[10:47] <eck> HamfistedIdiot: if you totally remove ~/.gconf and ~/.local you'll basically have a new gnome account
[10:48] <phy2> !control
[10:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about control - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:48] <eck> HamfistedIdiot: not an elegant solution, but it works ;-)
[10:48] <fxfitz> Please? Can anyone help me get rid of this god awful sound?
[10:48] <Cyrus25801> LtL: sudo nautilus /media/windows (or whatever directory) does the trick
[10:48] <imbecile> how do i restart x?
[10:48] <Heavenquake> I'm on an Edgy liveCD. While running the session I've installed xchat, as well as I've installed a wireless-driver. Will I be able to install to hdd through same session, or will the installation be corrupt because of these temporary installations?
[10:48] <nickspoon> Ctrl-alt-backspace.
[10:48] <fxfitz> imbecile, Ctrl-alt-backspace
[10:48] <nickspoon> imbecile: ^
[10:48] <dyrne> fxfitz: sudo nohup cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp&
[10:48] <LtL> Cyrus25801 - thx for the tip :)
[10:48] <HamfistedIdiot> eck: Worth a try. Heck, if all else fails I can always whip out the 7.0.4 CD and reinstall. This isn't a production machine anyway; I'm using it to learn. If I break it, no biggie.
[10:49] <mattwalston> _mikem: what is your problem with the gimp.  in my esperiance it is the only mature photo editing package
[10:49] <Heavenquake> I'm on an Edgy liveCD. While running the session I've installed xchat, as well as I've installed a wireless-driver. Will I be able to install to hdd through same session, or will the installation be corrupt because of these temporary installations?
[10:49] <Cyrus25801> LtL: thanx for you help
[10:49] <sercik_> Hi
[10:49] <lix> sercik_ hi
[10:49] <eck> HamfistedIdiot: there are a few other directories that might have some settings like ~/.gnome2, but i think .gconf and .local represent the bulk of it
[10:49] <sercik_> do you know how connect to cups from another pc?
[10:49] <fxfitz> fxfitz@lappyman:~$ sudo nohup cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp
[10:49] <fxfitz> bash: /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy
[10:49] <mattwalston> Heavenquake: you will be fine installing
[10:49] <LtL> Cyrus25801 - happy to help, g'luck.
[10:49] <lix> sercik_ Ipaddress: 631
[10:49] <__mikem> mattwalston, I I need to doctor the picture and GIMP can't do it.
[10:50] <dyrne> fxfitz: so whats the problem again?
[10:50] <HamfistedIdiot> Thing is, if I nuke ~/.gconf and ~/.local, will it do anything detrimental to any other applications?
[10:50] <sercik_> i know this but server don't accept connection
[10:50] <sercik_> from another pc
[10:50] <Heavenquake> mattwalston: okay, thank you. Just heard somewhere that installing language-packs before doing the real install was troublesome, so thought it might apply to normal packages and stuff too
[10:50] <HamfistedIdiot> Eh, what the heck. One way to find out...
[10:50] <sercik_> l
[10:50] <lix> sercik_ is there a firewall in between?
[10:50] <eck> fxfitz: i think the redirection is run as your local user, which might not have permissions on that device
[10:50] <mattwalston> _mikem: good luck, i know of nothing better... more likely though, you don't know how to use the gimp to do what you need
[10:50] <fre4k> my microphone is not working .. can someone help me with that ?
[10:50] <fxfitz> dyrne, I've been having problems with my battery power, so I decided to try out cpufrequitls. I noticed that after I started using it, whenever my computer did something (like opened a program) it makes this horrible noise from the laptop.
[10:50] <eck> HamfistedIdiot: it should be fine, but you'll almost certainly want to back things up
[10:51] <sercik_> i think the problem is not firewall because i see a reply in mozilla
[10:51] <lix> sercik_ is cups running on the printserver?
[10:51] <HamfistedIdiot> eck: Too late.
[10:51] <lix> sercik_ what's the reply?
[10:51] <dyrne> fxfitz: horrible like a cell phone next to computer speakers or what?
[10:51] <HamfistedIdiot> eck: But it does seem to have solved the problem. Nautilus windows are appearing once more.
[10:51] <herzenstern> hi ! how do i get the rea write rights for hda3?
[10:51] <mavers> dotpavan: fsck won't run on that drive as it is ext3 not ext2
[10:51] <eck> HamfistedIdiot: now don't break it again :-)
[10:51] <HamfistedIdiot> Yes, sir.
[10:51] <herzenstern> it is ext3
[10:51] <sercik_> cups is running on 10.0.0.1 and i'm on 10.0.0.3 if i try to access cups from 10.0.0.1 it works with lynx 10.0.0.1:631
[10:52] <herzenstern> and internal
[10:52] <fxfitz> dyrne, No no, its not coming from the speakers. Its just this small sort of "working" sound. It reminds me of a CD spinning up.
[10:52] <sercik_> if i try to access from 10.0.0.3 i see Forbudden
[10:52] <dooglus> what's the command to create a huge sparse file?
[10:52] <HamfistedIdiot> eck: Thanks for the suggestion. Now for me to be more careful...
[10:52] <sercik_> if i try to access from 10.0.0.3 i see Forbidden
[10:52] <lix> sercik_ sounds cool
[10:52] <lix> sercik_ forbidden?
[10:52] <dyrne> fxfitz: oh, that would have been pretty cool
[10:52] <roler> 1
[10:52] <fxfitz> Hehe. No no, the sound gets very annoying quick
[10:52] <lix> sercik_ mhmm did you configure cups properly (to access it from other ip addresses)?
[10:53] <eck> sercik_: there must be an option in the cups web interface, connect to it from 10.0.0.1
[10:53] <sercik_> i have read cupsd.conf and there is a list of ip where i have added Allow From 10.0.0.3
[10:53] <lix> sercik_ /etc/cupsd/cupsd.conf
[10:53] <sercik_> good idea the problem is that i have not a graphic interface
[10:53] <dotpavan> mavers: it works for ext3, just force it (man fsck has good syntax examples)..
[10:53] <fxfitz> dyrne, Hmm. Any ideas?
[10:53] <lix> sercik_ sorry: /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
[10:54] <sercik_> yes i have already opened that file and i have added: Allow From 10.0.0.3
[10:54] <lix> sercik_ maybe you can connect through ssh to 10.0.1.1
[10:54] <milanm> hi guys, anyone knows if it's possible to take a process by PID (this really massive zip taking a long time) and attach it to a new 'screen' session?
[10:54] <sercik_> yes i can
[10:54] <sercik_> i use putty from windows
[10:54] <lix> sercik_ and you restarted cupsd?
[10:54] <sercik_> yes...
[10:55] <sercik_> two times
[10:55] <lix> sercik_ by /etc/init.d/cupsd restart
[10:55] <eck> milanm: i don't think so, if you find out how let me know
[10:55] <lix> sercik_ by mhmm
[10:55] <dooglus> milanm: it's not, I don't think.  but see "dtach" for future reference
[10:55] <fre4k> hi guys ... my microphone is not working .. can someone help me with that ?
[10:55] <milanm> thanks
[10:55] <milanm> ciao
[10:55] <dooglus> eck: there would have to be some way of 're-parenting' a process for that to work
[10:56] <sercik_> lix i have a redhat derivate on server i use ubuntu on desktop so the command is service cups restart
[10:56] <lix> sercik_ that souldnt be a problem
[10:56] <eck> dooglus: wouldn't you just have to change the tty associated with the process?
[10:56] <lix> sercik_ cupsd is the same as on ubuntu
[10:56] <UnholyLegion> hi
[10:56] <sercik_> cups is cups
[10:57] <dooglus> eck: oh, I suppose so.  I don't know.
[10:57] <lix> sercik_ you are shure you did not miss-type/misspell the " Location> allow 10.0.1.3" option?
[10:58] <bloodytux> how do i change a password???
[10:58] <lix> sercik_ cups is cups :)
[10:58] <lix> sercik_ lol
[10:58] <sercik_> i control
[10:58] <bloodytux> quick i just killed my sis's pc
[10:58] <eck> bloodytux: passwd
[10:58] <Tybor> let's say a package is added to Debian unstable.... how long it will take to show up in multiverse?
[10:58] <sercik_> the file is correct.. 10.0.0.3
[10:58] <madman91> tommorow
[10:58] <tarzeau> Tybor: up to half a year
[10:58] <bloodytux> so running as an account called user i can change another accounts password
[10:58] <bloodytux> ???
[10:58] <lix> sercik_ i use a mac os x printserver with cupsd and it works the same from my ubuntu client
[10:58] <madman91> tarzeau: is there a way to get those sooner?
[10:59] <tarzeau> madman91: get them from debian?
[10:59] <sercik_> how can i disable iptables??... to try if.....
[10:59] <lix> sercik_ maybe try to read the error files in /var/log
[10:59] <Tybor> tarzeau: as I suspected.... 10x
[10:59] <lix> sercik_ (on the server)
[10:59] <sercik_> yes
[10:59] <babis> hello everyone! any suggestions on how to upgrade thunderbird to version 2... im using feisty
[10:59] <sercik_> on the server
[10:59] <madman91> tarzeau: how?
[10:59] <LtL> fre4k - double click on the volume ctrl, un-mute the mic and volume up.
[10:59] <madman91> tarzeau: use a debian repo?
[10:59] <tarzeau> madman91: see packages.debian.org/package then download the source package and build it? install it?
[11:00] <tarzeau> madman91: i don't think mixing debian and ubuntu repos is good
[11:00] <lix> sercik_ what does "telnet 10.0.0.1 361" say?
[11:00] <fre4k> LtL, its un muted and volume is full
[11:00] <tarzeau> madman91: but then i've never tried it
[11:00] <tarzeau> madman91: i'm a debian user (sid)
[11:00] <madman91> tarzeau: ok.. i think i will just use source tarballs
[11:00] <tarzeau> madman91: you could also just add a deb-src line to your sources.list (see man page)
[11:00] <sercik_> lix i have read the log and there are rows that tell:
[11:00] <sercik_> 10.0.0.3 - - [08/May/2007:22:33:06 +0200]  "GET / HTTP/1.1" 403 0
[11:00] <tarzeau> madman91: telnet linuks.mine.nu for an example
[11:00] <LtL> fre4k - do other sounds work?
[11:00] <madman91> tarzeau: but they are still old?
[11:00] <tarzeau> madman91: then use apt-get source pkg
[11:00] <fre4k> i'm getting sound from speaker
[11:00] <sercik_> and i see 403 forbidden on my browser
[11:01] <tarzeau> madman91: debian packages from sid? no they are very new, there's only experimental that seldomly has newer stuff
[11:01] <madman91> tarzeau: but wont that source be the same version as the package?
[11:01] <lix> sercik_ does cups run with the correct user?
[11:01] <tarzeau> madman91: sure, but ubuntu is not the same like debian, so build it from source
[11:01] <fre4k> LtL,  i'm getting sound from speaker/headphones
[11:01] <sercik_> lix what do you mean?
[11:01] <madman91> tarzeau: ok thanks!
[11:01] <tarzeau> madman91: to see if the deps are fine, and if it builds and stuff
[11:01] <fre4k> LtL, i tried alsamixer ... but not sure as to how to use it
[11:01] <lix> sercik_ well try "ps aux | grep cups" to see what user runs cups
[11:01] <sercik_> i have only installed cups and execute service cups start i don't know other
[11:01] <bloodytux> please can someone help?
[11:01] <sercik_> ok
[11:01] <Szeraax> anyone here have experience with booting over a network and win?
[11:02] <loco_aullador> hi i have a problem with my hard drive....when i try to reboot, using grub, from one of the hard drives (with the windows installed) it starts loading but then it stops in a black screen, what can i do?
[11:02] <lix> bloodytux: help what?
[11:02] <LtL> fre4k - right click on volume, and choose properties, try a different device, but you may lose sound altogether
[11:02] <sercik_> cupsd ir executed by root
[11:02] <AngryElf> is it true that I need root privs to start anything on port < 1000 ?
[11:02] <imbecile> ok guys,  my video players arent working all of the sudden and the top bar to my programs is missing now.. i've already tried restartin X with no luck in fixing the problem.. any other suggestions?
[11:02] <bloodytux> reset a passwd for another accnt
[11:02] <tarzeau> AngryElf: yes
[11:02] <eck> AngryElf: yes (< 1024 actually)
[11:02] <bloodytux> within 5 minutes or else i die!
[11:02] <lix> sercik_ should run under cupsd not root (i think)
[11:02] <HamfistedIdiot> Earlier today I copied tahoma.ttf and tahomabd.ttf from the Windows partition (it's a dual-boot machine) to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts, and ran sudo fc-cache -f -v. All worked; I could set my Gnome fonts to Tahoma size 7. Now, after having sorted my earlier problem with nautilus by nuking ~/.gconf and ~/.local, Tahoma won't display properly. It doesn't preview in the Font selection window, and if I'm, er, hamfisted
[11:02] <madman91> omg
[11:03] <bloodytux> the account is called ashley, and i know the pw but it won't work
[11:03] <bjron> I've got a strange web browsing problem:  I'm trying to go to http://www.mdsplus.org but normal browsers (firefox, epiphany, galeon) immediately get a connection reset error, while light browsers (dillo, lynx, w3m) seem to have no trouble
[11:03] <bloodytux> all i did was ctrl+alt+backspace after installing fglrx
[11:03] <eck> bloodytux: can you be root?
[11:03] <HamfistedIdiot> Nuking those two directories and restarting X got me back to a usable desktop, but it'd be nice to work out why Tahoma no longer works, and what I can do to fix it.
[11:03] <bloodytux> with ubuntu? how?
[11:03] <sercik_> excuse lix i don't want tell you are wrong but as root couldn't have more priviliges?
[11:03] <eck> bloodytux: sudo passwd other_accountname
[11:03] <HamfistedIdiot> I'm living up to my nickname today.
[11:03] <bloodytux> no
[11:04] <bloodytux> i'm a desktop user
[11:04] <bloodytux> not admin
[11:04] <bloodytux> arghhhh
[11:04] <lix> sercik_ hangon. (checking on my cupsd) :)

[11:04] <Bjellereven> How do i stop alt+LMB from moving my windows around?
[11:04] <cables> Where can I find ".xinitrc"?

[11:04] <bloodytux> 'm screwed
[11:04] <cheeseboy> how do i chane permission of file so anyone can use?
[11:04] <eck> bloodytux: you can boot into single user mode, but that would be cheating
[11:04] <bloodytux> how?
[11:04] <eck> bloodytux: use the rescue option in grub
[11:05] <eck> bloodytux: if there is no root password it will drop you into a root shell
[11:05] <HamfistedIdiot> Bjellereven: Go to System -> Preferences -> Windows, and amend the Movement Key to one of the other choices.
[11:05] <dyrne> cheeseboy: easy way is 'sudo chmod +x filename' where x is r or w or whatever
[11:05] <cables> Bjellereven, System>Preferences>Windows, but that won't work if you use Beryl or Compiz.
[11:05] <lix> sercik_ my cups is running under the cupsd user.
[11:05] <cheeseboy> dryne how i tell which is which?
[11:05] <tobrob> hello i have a problem installing ubuntu on a c2d system with the 965p chipset. I have checked through the forums and all related google material, but still the installation does not proceed; drives are seen, but once i try to boot, it hangs; the gcard is an 8500gt

[11:06] <bloodytux> how do i do the rescue thing?
[11:06] <lix> sercik_ there must be a problem in the cupsd.conf file

[11:07] <loco_aullador> how can i remove a program with the console?

[11:07] <LtL> lix - excuse the interruption, restart cupsys to parse the new conf file
[11:07] <dyrne> DK_II: linux-restricted-modules also get those
[11:07] <eck> DK_II: you need some X11 fonts... i'm not sure which ones, but i ended up grabbing like all the fonts available before i finally figured it out
[11:07] <lix> sercik_ or maybe use http://hosname:631 instead of http://10.0.0.1:631
[11:07] <loco_aullador> kitche,  what does purge?
[11:08] <eck> DK_II: if you don't have the proper fonts X11 can't start at all

[11:10] <fre4k> LtL, changed it to OSS Mixer .. still no use ..
[11:10] <sdlfk> !smc is Speed Modelling Challenge
[11:10] <Jeepster[] > smc!
[11:10] <sdlfk> !smc
[11:10] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about smc - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:10] <Not_Me4> hi
[11:10] <Jeepster[] > !smc
[11:10] <sdlfk> darn
[11:10] <sdlfk> who did it? Not_Me4 ?
[11:10] <DK_II> Should I use apt-get or aptitude when installing from the server CD?
[11:10] <SkWaRa> hi all, can any one tell me how to make ubuntu stream computer name to a router?
[11:10] <LtL> Cyrus25801 - if it's named in /etc/fstab  change ro to rw.  proceed with caution.
[11:11] <Not_Me4> hi sdlfk
[11:11] <matej> is it enought to install gstreamer-extra codecs to have ALL working movies, dvds and so on?
[11:11] <eck> SkWaRa: how do you mean?
[11:11] <Jeepster[] > sdlfk !
[11:11] <sdlfk> yo!
[11:11] <eck> DK_II: fwiw i think it's better to just not install X11 on a server though
[11:11] <scarter> is there a channel specifically for webcams (Logitech QuickCam Pro for Notebooks - [046d:08c3] )?
[11:11] <eck> ssh is the way to go
[11:11] <cox377_> does anyone know how to make the cube work?
[11:11] <HamfistedIdiot> Thanks again.
[11:11] <loco_aullador> how can i use purge to remove the config files? what is the sintaxis?
[11:12] <imbecile> ok guys,  my video players arent working all of the sudden and the top bar to my programs is missing now.. i've already tried restartin X with no luck in fixing the problem.. any other suggestions?
[11:12] <LtL> fre4k - use alsa or intel, one has a mic decibel boost of 50 db.
[11:12] <lix> sercik_ i'm sorry
[11:12] <DK_II> eck, what is ssh?
[11:12] <sercik> lix not important thank you so much
[11:12] <DK_II> !ssh
[11:12] <ubotu> SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[11:12] <lix> sercik_ welcome :)
[11:12] <DK_II> oh right
[11:12] <eck> DK_II: it lets you login remotely
[11:12] <SkWaRa> eck: let me explain it :) it might take some time as I'm from Polish and my english isn't good :_
[11:12] <sercik> see you soon..
[11:13] <nighthawk_> I just installed a new network card on my ubuntu machine and it doesn't seems to work,.
[11:13] <bloodytux> how do i create a user?
[11:13] <bloodytux> withing console?
[11:13] <eck> bloodytux: useradd or adduser
[11:13] <bloodytux> k
[11:13] <bloodytux> and how about change permissions?
[11:13] <DigitalNinja> I can't record audio. I think it was working yesterday. What's going on?
[11:13] <dyrne> bloodytux: adduser is a little easier one step way
[11:13] <SkWaRa> eck: I have a Netgear wgt634v2 router, with wireless enabled and WPA-PSK as a encryption method
[11:13] <DigitalNinja> I'm trying to use skype
[11:13] <eck> bloodytux: don't create a new user and copy over the files and then change permissions
[11:13] <mavers> doh...the tech helping left...can someone assist please?  My ubuntu system won't boot in recovery mode or normal.  No error message.  Tech had me fsck the drive and I got a "clean" result.  At this point, can someone tell me how to back up my files using a live cd so I can try to reinstall?
[11:14] <eck> bloodytux: just fix the password
[11:14] <SkWaRa> eck: also I'm using mac address filtering
[11:14] <bloodytux> the account disappeared
[11:14] <bloodytux> its not there
[11:14] <nighthawk_> ethtool eth1 -- sais a link was detected... but I can not access the web or the local network
[11:14] <bloodytux> it says user ashley not found
[11:14] <eck> bloodytux: the file in /home must still be there
[11:14] <bloodytux> :)
[11:14] <bloodytux> not user ashley:0
[11:14] <erpo> If an e.SATA device is not mounted, can I safely hot-unplug it?
[11:14] <bloodytux> bbl
[11:14] <eck> bloodytux: if so just use adduser and specify the correct uid and gid
[11:14] <SkWaRa> eck: if I am on windows and I go to mac address filter page and try to add router shows skwara-lap - MAC addr of wi-fi
[11:15] <Not_Me4> 03240324dbfedda9dbfedd91dbfedd90dbfedd79dbfedca8dbfedcc1dbfedcaddbfedca8dbfedc9bdbfedc0fdbfedc06dbfddfeddbfedc01dbfddf28dbfddf2adbfddf13dbfddf26fffdfffdfffd
[11:15] <Not_Me4> 03240324dbfedda9dbfedd91dbfedd90dbfedd79dbfedca8dbfedcc1dbfedcaddbfedca8dbfedc9bdbfedc0fdbfedc06dbfddfeddbfedc01dbfddf28dbfddf2adbfddf13dbfddf26fffdfffdfffd
[11:15] <fsbp> hello
[11:15] <eck> SkWaRa: can you just not manually enter the MAC address?
[11:15] <SkWaRa> eck: but if I''m on ubuntu and go to this page it shows Unknown - MAC Addr
[11:15] <SkWaRa> it displays mac correctly
[11:15] <sdlfk> Not_Me4, what is that your error?
[11:15] <jshriver> greetings
[11:15] <jshriver> Using bash, how can you store the last file in a ls into a $filename variable?
[11:15] <fsbp> quick question, how do you extract a .sh file in the terminal?
[11:15] <Not_Me4> dbfedda9dbfedd91dbfedd90
[11:16] <SkWaRa> but when I try connect with wpa_supplicant it says Authenticated and then CTR_EVENET_DISCONNECTED
[11:16] <jshriver> fsbp .sh is a script not a archive file
[11:16] <erpo> fsbp: some .sh files are self-extracting archives. You run it.
[11:16] <jshriver> chmod +x name.sh  && ./name.sh
[11:16] <alexpe> hello, does anybody knows about a visio like program under linux?
[11:16] <jshriver> alexpe: dia
[11:16] <eck> jshriver: ls -1 | tail -n 1
[11:16] <fsbp> jshriver: what's the second command?
[11:17] <jshriver> fsbp: just says make sh file executable then run it
[11:17] <sl00> Hi. Is there a FAQ somewhere that explains how to install by booting up from USB? (my cd-burner is broken)
[11:17] <matej> is it enought to install gstreamer-extra codecs to have ALL working movies, dvds and so on?
[11:17] <zaphands> Hello
[11:17] <cox377_> so no one here uses cube?
[11:17] <fsbp> hello
[11:17] <eck> SkWaRa: so you need to enter the computer's mac address into a page on the router, right?
[11:17] <LjL> !equivalents > alexpe    (alexpe, see the private message from Ubotu)
[11:17] <zaphands> When I enable desktop effects all the window borders disappear. does anyone know how to solve it?
[11:17] <imbecile> ok guys,  my video players arent working all of the sudden and the top bar to my programs is missing now.. i've already tried restartin X with no luck in fixing the problem.. any other suggestions? help pleeaaasssee
[11:17] <mavers> anyone know how I can copy files from my local drive while booted into the live CD so I can reinstall?
[11:18] <cables> imbecile, are you using effects?
[11:18] <LjL> !install > sl00    (sl00, see the private message from Ubotu)
[11:18] <fsbp> quick question, how do you extract a .sh file in the terminal?
[11:18] <cables> !effects | zaphands
[11:18] <ubotu> zaphands: For help with Beryl or Compiz desktop effects, please go to #ubuntu-effects.
[11:18] <cables> fsbp, .sh files are scripts, not archives
[11:18] <sl00> Thnks
[11:18] <SkWaRa> eck: there's a radio with Unknown and Mac addres next to it (on the router's page) and under it there are two inputs, one for computer name and second for MAC
[11:18] <imbecile> cables, yes beryl
[11:18] <cables> fsbp, just type "sh <filename>"
[11:18] <kane77> I recently noticed my mouse is lagging a lot at higher loads. what could be the cause?
[11:18] <cables> !effects | imbecile
[11:18] <ubotu> imbecile: For help with Beryl or Compiz desktop effects, please go to #ubuntu-effects.
[11:18] <fsbp> cables, doesnt work
[11:18] <zaphands> cables, Thanks
[11:18] <eck> SkWaRa: i believe you can put anything for the computer name, that is just there so you remember which computer is associated with the mac address
[11:18] <cables> fsbp, try again, without the sh
[11:18] <LjL> zaphands: if you're using an nvidia card, it's probably a matter of adding the argbvisualssomething option. can be done with a command that's given in the BeryOnEdgy howto (linked in the #ubuntu-effects topic)
[11:19] <herzenstern> hi ! how do i get the rea write rights for hda3 ( ext3, internal )  i tryed it with chmod/chown -R 777 "/media"/hda3  but still nothing works?
[11:19] <fsbp> cables: i know the first command is chmod +x /filename.sh, but i need to know the second command
[11:19] <herzenstern> as user
[11:19] <zaphands> LjL, Thanks :-)
[11:19] <eck> herzenstern: what filesystem?
[11:19] <cables> fsbp, ./filename.sh
[11:19] <herzenstern> ext3
[11:19] <rukuartic> Hey, do any of you guys know how to fix a ntfs hard drive with a bad superblock?
[11:19] <fsbp> cables: that's all? you're sure?
[11:19] <SkWaRa> eck: ok than, but why I cannot connect while I'm on ubuntu, and why there's Unknown on the router's page, while on windows there is my computer name that I've set
[11:19] <cables> fsbp, very :)
[11:19] <cables> fsbp, if that doesn't work, put sh in front of it
[11:20] <rukuartic> I googled around, just found some inconclusive stuff, looking for a quickfix.
[11:20] <eck> herzenstern: the permissions should just be whatever the permissions on the filesystema re then
[11:20] <fsbp> thanks much
[11:20] <cables> fsbp, if that doesn't work, it's not actually an sh file
[11:20] <herzenstern> heres my fstab  http://paste.debian.net/27480
[11:20] <Cyrus25801> lts
[11:20] <herzenstern> eck ???
[11:20] <alexpe> LjL, thanks
[11:20] <loco_aullador> hello i have problems with my hard drives...i cant reboot from the other hard drives using grub....
[11:20] <herzenstern> can u repeat that plz
[11:20] <eck> SkWaRa: maybe it's the NetBIOS computer name? If you're router requires that, i'm not sure if there's a netbios service for linux
[11:21] <cables> loco_aullador, I don't think Grub can operate across hard drives, I believe you need to pick the drive from the BIOS.
[11:21] <frojnd> what do I need to install that I can connect via console onto my computer?? ssh or something else, I need the name of package(s)
[11:21] <cables> loco_aullador, I'm not sure about that.
[11:21] <eck> herzenstern: the permissions on the mounted drive will be whatever they are on the filesystem, i.e. the uid and gid of files on the mounted drive will be unchanged
[11:21] <jrib> frojnd: openssh-server
[11:21] <jrib> !ssh > frojnd (see the private message from ubotu)
[11:21] <herzenstern> how do i change
[11:22] <eck> herzenstern: you can do a regular chmod, you may have to use sudo or be root for it to work
[11:22] <loco_aullador> cables,  when i installed linux i can reboot from the other hard drives using grub but now i cant...i dont know why
[11:22] <RockClimber> does out-of-the-box 7.04 have a running firewall (or need one). Fedora comes with iptables preconfigured and a module to handle samba browsing. I nmaped my eth0 and found it all closed and samba browsing works fine, so no problem, just a question
[11:22] <cables> loco_aullador, it has to do with your grub configuration file not having the other OS's in them... I don't know how to fix that, but somebody else might.
[11:22] <loco_aullador> cables,  ok thanx anyway
[11:23] <jrib> RockClimber: default ubuntu has no iptables rules since default ubuntu also has no services listening on any ports
[11:23] <SkWaRa> eck: in windows' wifi connection I have checked check-box: Use NetBIOS settings from the DHCP server. If static IP address is used or the DHCP server deos not provide NetBIOS setting, enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP. So is there any chance to get it works whith MAC filter turned on?
[11:23] <cables> loco_aullador, I'd ask your question more specifically (How do I change my Grub config file to recognize OS's on other hard drives) and someone else may be able to help you.
[11:23] <tarzeau> any briquolo players in here?
[11:24] <RockClimber> jrib, thanks for the answer
[11:24] <kane77> what can I use to open .rmvb files? (those are real media variable bitrate files i guess)
[11:24] <Jump86> anyone know how to make ubuntu auto log into a certain user without having to type a pwd?
[11:24] <hammedhaaret> hello.   can someone help me with a problem?
[11:24] <eck> SkWaRa: i think you should turn off NetBIOS completely
[11:24] <matej> is it enought to install gstreamer-extra codecs to have ALL working movies, dvds and so on?
[11:24] <jrib> Jump86: system > administration > login window
[11:24] <rukuartic> jrib: you're fast.
[11:24] <jrib> matej: no
[11:24] <jrib> !restricted > matej (see the private message from ubotu)
[11:24] <Jump86> jrib, you rock thanks
[11:24] <kane77> hammedhaaret, ask to ask protocol wastes more bandwidth than any ask protocol, so just ask your question ;)
[11:25] <LjL> kane77: SYN
[11:25] <eck> SkWaRa: on my router i can have dhcp hand out static IPs based on MAC address alone, i'm not sure about yours, but that would be better than using NetBIOS
[11:25] <SkWaRa> eck: I think there's no such option in my router
[11:25] <mike71800b> Thinking of building a new system, how well does ubuntu do with dual processors?
[11:25] <loco_aullador> cables,  but the strange thing is that it starts booting windows, i mean, the other drives....but it stops suddenly
[11:25] <kane77> LjL, is that a program?
[11:25] <catid> kane77: i believe he's attempting a connection with you
[11:26] <LjL> kane77: right, you're supposed to reply ACK
[11:26] <rishi> what does make: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop. mean?
[11:26] <catid> SYN,ACK :P
[11:26] <hammedhaaret> right (:  i just installed ubuntu on my laptop... but even though i have installed the Nvidia driver i can't put the resolution to more than 1024x768.. can anyone help?
[11:26] <rishi> should have put that in quotes.
[11:26] <eck> rishi: there is no install rule in the make file
[11:26] <LjL> rishi: means your makefile is stupid, i think
[11:26] <rishi> well that's not good
[11:26] <Jump86> anyone know how to make feisty boot faster? on the same pc vist boots in 45 sec but feisty takes 120 sec
[11:26] <rishi> stupid howto isn't all that intuitive.
[11:26] <EADG> How do I turn off directory colors when using ls? (I'm working in the console, not X)
[11:26] <catid> hammedhaaret: try editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf at the bottom where it shows your screen resolutions
[11:26] <kane77> LjL, ?? i dont get it... :/
[11:26] <eck> SkWaRa: the problem is that there is not a netbios service running on ubuntu
[11:26] <TheUni9> don't know
[11:27] <eck> rishi: no, the person who wrote the makefile sucks ;-)
[11:27] <catid> Jump86: read /var/log/syslog  the lines are timestamped so you can see where the big slowdowns are
[11:27] <eck> catid: i belive it's something like ls --color=off
[11:27] <willskills> hi guys, I'm wondering how best to edit my menu.list for grub, I have 3 disks, Ubuntu on my SATA, a master IDE (file dump) - and then a slave IDE with windows on it - can anyone offer any help?
[11:27] <Jump86> catid, thanks!
[11:27] <eck> catid: look at the ls man page and then alias ls to that in your .bashrc
[11:28] <catid> eck: what?
[11:28] <eck> oops, wrong person
[11:28] <eck> that should be to EADG
[11:28] <EADG> Thanks eck
[11:28] <mike71800b> /var/log/syslog to look for boot up delays? Trying to learn
[11:28] <rishi> in that case: How do I change my resolution to something that isn't listed in the screen resolution chooser
[11:28] <LjL> kane77, SYN, SYN/ACK, ACK is the three-way handshake that the TCP protocol uses for estabilishing any connection.
[11:29] <catid> mike71800b: yeah when you compile the kernel you can configure it to display timestamps.. Ubuntu is set up that way
[11:29] <mike71800b> nice to know, I'll make a note
[11:29] <catid> mike71800b: alternatively you can boot in recovery mode from the GRUB menu and watch it in real time
[11:29] <kane77> LjL, OH! right :)
[11:29] <SkWaRa518> eck: so I'm back and I've check router's settings and I already have attached an IP to my wifi MAC
[11:29] <catid> mike71800b: to leave recovery mode just cancel the prompt or log in as root and type "exit"
[11:29] <SkWaRa518> s/ I've checked
[11:29] <jrib> scarter: there's no special channel for webcams, it's best to just ask here/state your problem
[11:30] <rishi> so there is no way to change your resolution to something that isn't listed?!
[11:30] <jrib> !webcams > scarter (see the private message from ubotu)
[11:30] <jrib> !fixres > rishi (see the private message from ubotu)
[11:30] <Mutal1ty> is there a channel for sound help?
[11:30] <eck> SkWaRa518: i think it should be fine then
[11:30] <catid> mike71800b: also if you edit /boot/grub/menu.lst you can turn off the pretty progress bar and watch the printk's from the kernel instead
[11:30] <jrib> Mutal1ty: not a special one, just ask here
[11:30] <catid> mike71800b: it looks cooler :)
[11:30] <eck> SkWaRa518: another option is to turn off mac address filtering, since it can be faked and you're using wpa anyway :-)
[11:30] <rishi> jrib: thanks
[11:30] <tobrob> guys i need serious help, i am going nuts here :(
[11:30] <Mutal1ty> my card is AC-97 compatible and i must "enable" <M> Intel/SiS/nVidia/AMD/ALi AC97 Controller
[11:30] <mike71800b> catid thanks I was wondering where verbose boot was
[11:31] <Mutal1ty> but I have no idea how to go about htis
[11:31] <Mutal1ty> this*
[11:31] <rollerskatejamms> tobrob, sudo fluxcapacitor --fix
[11:31] <josie> hi is this where i can get help with ubuntu?
[11:31] <eck> Mutal1ty: it is already in the ubuntu generic kernel
[11:31] <jrib> josie: yep, welcome
[11:31] <SkWaRa518> eck: I will try now on ubuntu
[11:31] <josie> thanks
[11:31] <Mutal1ty> yet my sound card is not being seen
[11:31] <rollerskatejamms> !ask | josie
[11:31] <ubotu> josie: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[11:31] <matej> jrib: tnx =)
[11:31] <SkWaRa518> eck: thx for help
[11:32] <eck> Mutal1ty: check that the module is loaded
[11:32] <catid> Mutal1ty: if you know the name of the module, run lsmod | grep -i MODULENAME  to see if it's loaded.. if not try modprobe MODULENAME  to see if you have it.. if not you'll need to get it!
[11:32] <mike71800b> I'm thinking of putting some new guts in my box since I can't run Beryl , how well does Ubuntu do with dual processors?
[11:32] <Mutal1ty> how do I do that?
[11:32] <tobrob> i am trying to install ubuntu on a 965p motherboard, i have some sata disks and a single IDE upon which the / fs is to be located; but ubuntu - classic cd 7.04 hangs at boot due to screen hang (8500gt card here) and if i use alternative, it installs but again, not possible to boot OR have X at all, no matter what i do
[11:32] <catid> mike71800b: using SMP here.. it works well out of the box
[11:32] <Mutal1ty> I know not the name of the module
[11:32] <rollerskatejamms> mike71800b, very well :-D
[11:32] <Cyrus25801> I have mounted a ntfs partition and I can't copy off it. can someone help
[11:32] <eck> Mutal1ty: lsmod | grep ac97
[11:32] <mike71800b> what processors?
[11:32] <rollerskatejamms> mike71800b, but what you need for beryl is a video card
[11:32] <tobrob> rollerskatejamms, what is --fix ???
[11:32] <rollerskatejamms> tobrob, a joke.
[11:33] <jrib> Cyrus25801: do you receive any errors?
[11:33] <tobrob> yeah ok i dont know these jokes, but this problem aint a joke :(
[11:33] <rollerskatejamms> tobrob, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flux_capacitor
[11:33] <Mutal1ty> I get bash: /home/dj: is a directory
[11:33] <Cyrus25801> jrib: no nothing
[11:33] <catid> mike71800b: core duo here..  note that newer kernels than Ubuntu's have better support for process scheduling on SMP as well as core duo temperature sensors
[11:33] <jrib> Cyrus25801: how are you trying to copy?
[11:33] <catid> mike71800b: might be a fun project to build your own
[11:33] <rollerskatejamms> Ubuntu's kernel is SMP I believe.
[11:33] <mike71800b> yeah I still have 2x agp and 133 FSB 2.4 Celeron, thought of using a mb with another celeron to match
[11:33] <rollerskatejamms> I wish ubuntu would go back to non-generic kernels on the desktop.
[11:33] <Cyrus25801> jrib: right click copy, then right click past
[11:33] <tobrob> any ideas, has anyone had trouble to install 965p + 8500gt combos before?
[11:34] <jrib> Cyrus25801: try in a terminal
[11:34] <kane77> I recently noticed my mouse is lagging _a lot_ at higher loads. what could be the cause?
[11:34] <rollerskatejamms> kane77, High load :-P
[11:34] <cables> kane77, I have that too...
[11:34] <Mutal1ty> when I type :  lsmod | grep ac97  it goes straight to the next prompt
[11:34] <Mutal1ty> no output
[11:34] <catid> kane77: poor scheduler implementation..  i am using CFSv10 and it's pretty slick under high loads
[11:34] <eck> Mutal1ty: what about lsmod | grep snd
[11:34] <jjchico> willskills, please see http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19856/. the commented out part is for Windows running in a slave disk. The bios is configured to swap master and slave (map) so that windows thinks it is in the master disk. Windows requires that.
[11:34] <cables> That really should be dealt with, Windows never used to mouse-lag on high load. It other-things-lagged, but not mouse-lagged.
[11:34] <kane77> rollerskatejamms, but that shouldnt affect the mouse (the XWM)...
[11:34] <Mutal1ty> nothing
[11:35] <rishi> woo! it works, thanks to whoever got ubotu to send me that message
[11:35] <rollerskatejamms> kane77, Yeah well as others have said, linux
[11:35] <cables> Can anyone explain to me what a GPG passphrase is? Does it decrypt your private key stored on disk?
[11:35] <rollerskatejamms> kane77, Yeah well as others have said, linux's default scheduler aint that great. But that's being worked on.
[11:35] <eck> Mutal1ty: err, you don't have any sound moduels loaded at all
[11:35] <dogmeat> which util can i use to combine my windows desktop with ubuntu?
[11:35] <eck> cables: basically, yes
[11:35] <Mutal1ty> how do I load them?
[11:35] <hammedhaaret> Catid: i found the xorg.conf file and where my 3 choices of screen res is... should i just write some random res that i think will do?   isn't there a way to make it recognize my screen right?
[11:35] <cables> eck, ok.
[11:35] <cables> eck, thanks
[11:35] <rollerskatejamms> dogmeat, you can't "combine" them. but the installer has an account import tool.
[11:35] <mike71800b> Before I get ahead of myself does XP support dual processors? I wouldn't ask this but I have to have winderz for Mastercam.
[11:35] <kane77> catid, how can I change the scheduler (I was asking about that, but nobody understood what scheduler is)?
[11:35] <catid> hammedhaaret: if you know your screen resolution just write it in place of one of those
[11:35] <Mutal1ty> I downloaded and installed most all the OSS, and ALSA I could find
[11:36] <rollerskatejamms> mike71800b, yeah it does.
[11:36] <catid> kane77: you'd need to rebuild the kernel =(
[11:36] <daath> hey :) can anyone help me get my base install working? I've just used the alternate boot cd to install ubuntu 6.10 to install LinuxMCE later - I have an Abit Fatal1ty F-I90DH motherboard - My graphics don't work and I have no network either...
[11:36] <Cyrus25801> jrib: how do I copy from the drive to a windows network drive
[11:36] <eck> kane77: it is not too hard to rebuild it, there is a howto on building kernel packages on the wiki
[11:36] <josie> thanks all
[11:36] <kane77> catid, :/ oh well... in that case...
[11:36] <ghost8> cze mwi tu kto po polsku?
[11:36] <tobrob> ok, anyone able to help me with 965p woes, ubuntu will not install and yes i have tried everything from the forums as well
[11:37] <kane77> eck, I remember my first kernel building experience @ gentoo box...
[11:37] <Mutal1ty> eck: How do I load the Modules?
[11:37] <jrib> Cyrus25801: is the windows network drive mounted somewhere?  you can just do 'cp from_location to_location'
[11:37] <rollerskatejamms> Anybody know something like freeciv, but with a bit better graphics?
[11:37] <cables> IMHO, Ubuntu should include Seahorse, and possibly add mozilla-thunderbird-enigmail as a dependency for Thunderbird, and remove Gnome Keyring Manager, since Seahorse can manage keyrings. That way OpenPGP use would be easier and more encouraged.
[11:37] <kane77> eck, Im still not too sure if I got it right...
[11:37] <ricmik> Hello! I've installed Ubuntu on a laptop with a 4 in one card reader... I can see 02:06.0 CardBus bridge: O2 Micro, Inc. OZ711M3/MC3 4-in-1 MemoryCardBus Controller in lspci, but I can't use the card reader.. Any ideas?
[11:37] <eck> Mutal1ty: you can load them manually if you figure out what hardware you have, but they _should_ but automatically loaded if your sound card was seen by the kernel
[11:37] <rollerskatejamms> cables, Well it's a good thing your ho isn't law :-D
[11:37] <catid> rollerskatejamms: if you have Sid Meyer's Civilization, you could run it in WINE
[11:37] <cables> rollerskatejamms, why don't you like my idea? :)
[11:37] <eck> kane77: this will be easier, you just need to change one option, you don't need to do the whole thing
[11:37] <rollerskatejamms> catid, Civ 4?
[11:38] <catid> rollerskatejamms: *shrugs* ask over in #winehq or check out the website: appdb.winehq.com

[11:38] <Mutal1ty> I have the  Abit AudioMAX. it is basically a Realtek ALC850 chip which has been moved off the motherboard
[11:38] <eck> kane77: although tbh i wouldn't worry about it, the generic kernel is fine for desktops and the kernel server is good for batching
[11:38] <Mutal1ty> this site I'm looking at says
[11:38] <Mutal1ty> To enable support for this card, enable  PCI devices  --->     <M> Intel/SiS/nVidia/AMD/ALi AC97 Controller
[11:39] <jrib> Cyrus25801: I don't think those get mounted anywhere (or I don't know where).  This is using samba right?
[11:39] <PocketIRC> Is it true that only maybe two or less of all the ideas for gutsy in the forum will be added?
[11:39] <eck> Mutal1ty: i would start by checking the ubuntu forums to see if anyone has any threads on your card
[11:39] <olive_> hi
[11:39] <Mutal1ty> I have
[11:39] <Mutal1ty> I'm pasting from it

[11:39] <catid> PocketIRC: ask over in #ubuntu+1
[11:39] <cables> PocketIRC, I don't think they have a specific number that they'll include...
[11:39] <Cyrus25801> jrib: yes
[11:39] <eck> you need a bunch of other stuff too though
[11:39] <kane77> eck, ubuntu saves me so much time, I guess anything  is easier under ubuntu (compared to gentoo...) evenn my frriend (hardcore gentoo-ist) installed xubuntu on a computer he needed running as fast as possible :)
[11:40] <Mutal1ty> that command returned :  FATAL: Module snd_ac97_codec not found.

[11:45] <jrib> Cyrus25801: instead of mounting it with the gui, use the mount command to mount in a directory somewhere and then try copying in a terminal
[11:45] <eck> Mutal1ty: i guess you can grep it, but you probably just want to scan through and look for anything that seems to be an error loading sound things
[11:45] <dyrne> z0man: dont forget about /home :)
