[12:00] <kofler> nickrud: Thanks.
[12:01] <Henica> Same thing happens to me, Nrbelex.
[12:01] <sytimax> how do i add a nic to start at boot that doesnt have a ip adress associated to it?
[12:01] <kofler> nickrud: Would installing both cause conflicts?
[12:01] <Nrbelex> Henica, any solution
[12:01] <dyrne> CppIsWeird: sometimes very good sometimes not so much.  windows has the advantage of the manufacturer actually providing drivers. you can dual boot with windows and ubuntu
[12:01] <Henica> Not that I know of.. just installed last night. :)
[12:01] <barbarella_me> Hamm_sand:dpkg -l |grep gtk
[12:01] <moonwatcher> anyone?
[12:01] <stefg> CppIsWeird: expect a bit less battery endurance, but that depends on the particular model
[12:02] <nickrud> kofler, no, they're designed to coexist. And as a general rule, packages that can't coexist are have the conflict written into them so you couldn't install both without some gyrations.
[12:02] <dyrne> CppIsWeird: ive been toying with the idea of making a laptop tool that adjusts wifi transmit power, cpu speed, brightness etc in a gui to control battery life
[12:02] <kofler> nickrud: Okay, cool.
[12:02] <CppIsWeird> nah, dual boots never did too well, i'd end up using windows out of convience
[12:02] <Hamm_sand>  :)
[12:02] <Yggdrasil> how do you hibernate from cmd line ?
[12:02] <Yggdrasil> ehm or suspend even
[12:03] <omri> check /proc/acpi
[12:03] <CppIsWeird> but my new laptop comes with vista, and i'd rather use DOS 2.0 then vista.
[12:03] <viasmdfa> a
[12:03] <CppIsWeird> came with rather.
[12:03] <Yggdrasil> i bet dos 2.0 runs fast on a 3.5 ghz computer
[12:03] <moonwatcher> can anyone one enlighten me?
[12:03] <Yggdrasil> omri check it ?
[12:03] <Yggdrasil> i wanta cmd to suspend the computer
[12:03] <moonwatcher> its not such a big topic
[12:03] <CppIsWeird> i bet it does, but not multitaskable, and probably doesnt support dual core
[12:04] <moonwatcher> i am sure one of you super geeks can whip an answer....
[12:04] <omri> Yggdrasil, nvm ..
[12:04] <moonwatcher> when i click one of the ftp "servers" in the "Places" menu firefox opens up instead of nautilus
[12:04] <omri> don't have time to explain; sorry
[12:04] <LaTcH> m
[12:04] <Yggdrasil> omri :(
[12:04] <Yggdrasil> ill just hit button and click a mouse
[12:04] <Yggdrasil> but i would like to do it from cli
[12:04] <ethereality> craaaaap
[12:04] <barbarella_me> moonwatcher:then google for file types
[12:04] <Zoofmu> Does anyone use FreeNX that can help me?
[12:04] <kazol> How do I find the hard drive names-hda, hdb, etc.?
[12:04] <realcr> is there a way to do a global alias in bash ?
[12:04] <ethereality> i tried the desktop effects, but now my firefox window is stuck
[12:04] <jTr0n> Yggdrasil: what it would run would run to fast to use
[12:04] <moonwatcher> barbarella_me, thats a very wide googeling....
[12:05] <dyrne> kazol: sudo fdisk -l  ?
[12:05] <CppIsWeird> also, how much of a pain in the ass would it be to install this on ubuntu and still have ubuntu's automatic functions like when you install applications and control panels and so forth: http://www.xpde.com/
[12:05] <pepse> does anyone by chance know how to use Ez-IpUpdate behind NAT (with local IPs)?
[12:05] <kazol> ethereality: Use beryl instead. The Desktop Effects has bugs in it; I tried. Plus the effects are worse, nothing compared to beryl.
[12:05] <moonwatcher> barbarella_me, i just want to have nautilus open when i click those. like it used to
[12:05] <ethereality> beryl...? where would i find more info about this?
[12:06] <Jeaners> I need help with a issue with speakers, They work fine during a speaker-test. But when it comes down to actually playing music, games, videos not all speakers work.
[12:06] <barbarella_me> moonwatcher:file..open with..do it always. It is the same in windows I think
[12:06] <jTr0n> beryl and compiz soon will be no more.  anyone know what the new project will be?
[12:06] <Vistasux> how do i find out how much ram i have in ubuntu?
[12:06] <moonwatcher> barbarella_me, its not a file....
[12:06] <siloko> ethereality: beryl-project.org
[12:06] <kazol> ethereality: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#Eye_Candy
[12:07] <kazol> ethereality: install video card drivers first, then follow the directions
[12:07] <Zoofmu> Does anyone use FreeNX that can help me?
[12:07] <Zoofmu> I can authentiocate
[12:07] <hammedhaaret> Hi.. how do i get to play mp3 on ubuntu... the codecs and evrything.
[12:07] <Zoofmu> but
[12:07] <Vistasux> how do i find out how much ram i have in ubuntu?
[12:07] <Zoofmu> startup session
[12:07] <moonwatcher> barbarella_me, where do i configure these "file type" associations in linux?
[12:07] <Zoofmu> fails
[12:07] <Zoofmu> everytime?
[12:07] <barbarella_me> Vistasux:free -m
[12:07] <Zoofmu> Vistasux vista doesnt suck
[12:07] <slvmchn> vistasux, you can't check on boot?
[12:07] <moonwatcher> barbarella_me,  i am sure there is some config file...:)
[12:07] <dyrne> smacks even
[12:07] <slvmchn> vistasux your splash screen on boot should tell you
[12:07] <Vistasux> vista sux
[12:07] <stefg> CppIsWeird: you will not want this ... that's an off-project which won't be supported in ubuntu. either take kubuntu, or get yourself familiar with gnome
[12:08] <kazol> ethereality: make sure you use "sudo apt-get install beryl themes ......" instead of "sudo apt-get install beryl."
[12:08] <SwissMan> hi all i got a problem.. gcc test.c -o test gives a bunch of errors cause it cant find any library such as stdio.h and so on.. how do i set a path?
[12:08] <slvmchn> can i follow these instructions for beryl on feisty for edgy?
[12:08] <ethereality> why did you say beryl will soon be no more?
[12:08] <jTr0n> lol if you can't figure out how much ram is in your machine, then you can't criticize any software
[12:08] <slvmchn> i thought beryl was recent, a split off compiz?
[12:08] <sytimax> how do i add a nic to start at boot that doesnt have a ip adress associated to it?
[12:08] <jTr0n> they're remerging soon, but yea it's based on compiz codebase
[12:08] <dyrne> CppIsWeird: it is possible to do that in gnome and im sure kde. ive made gnome look pretty archaic before
[12:09] <kazol> Beryl is much better than compiz, and has less bugs.
[12:09] <CppIsWeird> stefg: its not really familurity, im pretty proficent with the gnome interface that comes with ubuntu, i just thought it would be neat, more up my alley for the look and feel of a windows box.
[12:09] <koruptah> Hey guys, how can i make a partition bootable with grub?
[12:09] <dyrne> CppIsWeird: why not try to outdo xp rather than emulate?  check out beryl
[12:09] <slvmchn> cppisweird i think there's windows-ish themes
[12:09] <stefg> CppIsWeird: will be a pita... one man project and quite off the mainstream
[12:09] <Vistasux> after i do a MAN command how do i exit out of it?
[12:09] <moonwatcher> barbarella_me, im not talking about opening a file... the servers on the "Places" menu
[12:09] <kazol> I tried both compiz and beryl; Beryl has almost no bugs compared to compiz and has TONS of settings you could tweak.
[12:09] <slvmchn> ctrl-z vistasux
[12:09] <moonwatcher> ftp servers
[12:09] <siloko> Vistasux: press Q
[12:10] <jTr0n> ctrl-alt-backspace
[12:10] <CppIsWeird> well its not nessicarly look im after, its mostly where everything is, habbit wise, i work with windows boxes all day, and it just in my opinion looks nice, im not trying to get in a fanboy arguement.
[12:10] <Vistasux> thanks!
[12:10] <Nrbelex> Is there any reason a wireless card would be able to detect a network but not connect to it? The network monitor shows sent data but nothing in response...
[12:10] <aro> jTr0n, not cool
[12:10] <jTr0n> heh
[12:10] <pepse> i like vista
[12:10] <kazol> pepse: why?
[12:10] <Vistasux> is there a site i can goto to view every console command there is for ubuntu?
[12:10] <jTr0n> bash commands
[12:11] <pepse> kazol: it's pretty, and it's got all the things you want nice and easily accessible
[12:11] <[GuS] > Vistasux: there are many sites...
[12:11] <dyrne> CppIsWeird: i agree its a good idea. esp for corporate environments trying to save mone with linux.
[12:11] <haru> pepse, thank you for the info.. it makes a lot of difference to me now
[12:11] <cables> Can anybody tell me where to put a command to have it execute when X starts?
[12:11] <pepse> kazol: if you go through and you're configuring something, the next place you want to go is usually linked to in the bottom left corner
[12:11] <ethereality> this room moves pretty quickly ...
[12:11] <LjL> Vistasux: type  apropos -s 1 ""   :)
[12:11] <ethereality> hey, where do i go to install the plugins needed to listen to mp3 and mpeg, and why doesn't ubuntu have them already installed?
[12:11] <siloko> Vistasux: press <tab> at the command line :)
[12:11] <qazwsxqn> spam   : *         http://s19.bitefight.pl/c.php?uid=30101
[12:11] <kazol> pepse: You could much more things with Ubuntu. You are either using an old version of it, or have not installed programs.
[12:12] <jTr0n> ethereality:  they're restricted formats
[12:12] <kazol> pepse: When I first installed Ubuntu, it looked boring and minimal.
[12:12] <stefg> Vistasux: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO.html is a good start
[12:12] <nickrud> cables, system-preferences-sessions if you use gnome
[12:12] <pepse> kazol: I'm not saying I don't like Ubuntu
[12:12] <Henica> Okay. So. I tried that. But I can't seen to figure out what 'model' my monitor would be if I'm using a laptop.
[12:12] <pepse> I'm just saying Vista's not bad
[12:12] <jTr0n> google will tell u if you type restricted formats ubuntu
[12:12] <koruptah> how can i make a partition bootable with grub?
[12:12] <cables> nickrud, that's when I log in. I said when X starts.
[12:12] <pepse> Ubuntu kicks ass

[12:13] <Henica> So I think I need some more help. Rather than just this webpage. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto#head-c7979448ab81077f16349d3ca4be7aa5a5a52de2

[12:13] <ethereality> why are all my problems in switching to linux freaking copyright based?
[12:13] <ethereality> like, itunes ... webcam ...
[12:13] <jTr0n> open source
[12:13] <haru> pepse, no vista isnt a program
[12:13] <ethereality> the only things i lack ...
[12:13] <jTr0n> its all legalities
[12:13] <kazol> pepse: Google beryl, gdesklets, and gkrellm.
[12:13] <haru> it just need 1G ram
[12:13] <pepse> haru: ?
[12:13] <haru> and a powerful graphics card
[12:14] <nickrud> cables, herm. I know it's there, used it before.
[12:14] <kazol> pepse: Very cool effects, because you said Vista looks better.
[12:14] <nickrud> cables, I mean the one you're looking for
[12:14] <kazol> pepse: You're missing out on a lot.
[12:14] <Rev> etherreality  there is a prgram called easy ubuntu that installs all the restriced codecs for mp3 and dvd
[12:14] <CppIsWeird> actually, what would be better (and probably quite a bit more efficent) is an interface that looked more like win98 using normal window and button objects, instead of a mimic of XP (i currently have my XP machines on classic view without all the pretties anyways)
[12:14] <haru> pepse, i am saying.. vista is not bad considering it just hogs on 1G ram and needs a powerful graphcis card
[12:14] <cables> nickrud, I've used it before too :)
[12:14] <pepse> kazol: Ah, I just mean that vista being pretty is one of the reasons i like it. Also, it's very intuitive IMO. MS has paid millions and millions in market research and has really made a good OS
[12:14] <stefg> !offtopic
[12:14] <jTr0n> i saw vista on a geforce fx 5200.. thats a $30 card

[12:14] <CppIsWeird> there a linux window manager that acts like that?
[12:14] <haru> pepse, and yea.. its got compatibility issues
[12:14] <Henica> Can someone help me please? This tiny resolution is burning my eyes. x.x;
[12:15] <cables> haru, Linux uses about 100% of RAM by default... using more RAM as cache is a good thing.
[12:15] <pepse> kazol: btw, XP was the first ever version of windows that I liked. never liked NT/2000/whatever
[12:15] <stefg> !offtopic
[12:15] <jTr0n> yea.  all this memory hog bs about vista is from simpletons jumping on the criticism wagon
[12:15] <siloko> waiting for the flaming to begin :)

[12:16] <kazol> pepse: Why don't you think Ubuntu is prettey? With fully customized panels, screensavers, backgounds along with gkrellm, gdesklets, and beryl looks more than prettey to me. I doubt Windows could do that.
[12:16] <Henica> Anyone?
[12:16] <pepse> kazol: It is, I didn't say it wasn't. Linux can be as pretty as you'd like it to be
[12:16] <jTr0n> he never said ubuntu wasn't good
[12:16] <magicrobotmonkey> would disabling cups in the services dialogue be expected to fubar X?
[12:16] <jTr0n> he said vista isn't bad
[12:16] <pepse> yeh
[12:16] <valle> hi, I has just install the ubuntu server 6.06. I select to install it on the HD, now I want to configure a LAMP. There is an option at the cd, that says install LAMP, that will only configure the LAMP or will install ubuntu all over again?
[12:17] <ethereality> ohhh, yeah
[12:17] <aro> magicrobotmonkey, my guess is no
[12:17] <kazol> pepse: Exactly, you just need to customize it once you install it. Windows was already configured so it looks attractive to sell for profit.
[12:17] <haru> jTr0n, ermm ubuntu runs with all the vistaish effects and all my needed apps pretty fine on my p3 with 512 ram
[12:17] <ethereality> where do i get this easyubuntu thing? isn't there a section on it in the forums?
[12:17] <stefg> pepse, jTr0n take that to #ubuntu-offtopic please.. NOW!
[12:17] <haru> jTr0n, vista doesnt.. hence the criticism
[12:17] <pepse> kazol: i usually have to customize windows to make it the way i like it too :)
[12:17] <pepse> ok ok
[12:17] <kazol> pepse: Have you tried beryl and emerald themes?
[12:17] <dyrne> !easybuntu | ethereality
[12:17] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about easybuntu - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:17] <barbarella_me> valle:nop...it will not install all over again
[12:18] <pepse> kazol: I have been meaning to, been busy with school lately
[12:18] <pepse> I've heard good things
[12:18] <ethereality> !easyubuntu | ethereality
[12:18] <cables> !msgthebot | ethereality
[12:18] <ubotu> ethereality: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (see also !Bot). Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops...
[12:18] <ethereality> oh ...
[12:18] <ethereality> oops.
[12:18] <magicrobotmonkey> i think i may have accidently disabled dbus from the services interface - does anyone know how to re-enable it from the CLI?
[12:18] <valle> barbarella_me, then I need to install ubuntu on the hd first and the select the install LAMP option
[12:19] <cables> ethereality, that's ok... just use /msg ubotu whatever next time, to avoid taking up space in the channel
[12:19] <jTr0n> i had to trick easyubuntu into running on feisty
[12:19] <ethereality> why does it say use at your own risk?
[12:19] <Henica> ... can ya'll help me out please? :)
[12:19] <cables> ethereality, stuff like Automatix and EasyUbuntu can screw up your computer
[12:19] <cables> ethereality, what are you trying to do? We can probably tell you how to do it without easyubuntu.
[12:19] <koruptah> Question: I'm trying to upgrade to Fiesty from Breezy, I have the iso, but my cd burner is busted. So is there any way for me to extract the ISO image, and install with out using a burnt CD?
[12:20] <jTr0n> they're auto installers in beta mode.  it worked fine for me.  i installed the nvidia drivers manually though
[12:20] <barbarella_me> valle:it will ask you for it after installing the base system
[12:20] <cables> koruptah, you can upgrade over the internet to Dapper, then to Edgy, then to Feisty
[12:20] <stefg> Henica: so you have a laptop with an unknown video adapter and want it to run at 1280x800 ?
[12:20] <valle> it, didn't ask me, and I am already running ubuntu on the hd
[12:20] <ethereality> I want to listen to my music collection in Rhythmbox, unless you know of something better (that has last.fm compatibility and podcast compatibility)
[12:20] <cables> koruptah, unfortunately, you have to do that one version at a time...
[12:20] <haru> is compiz 0.5 package available on the repos??
[12:20] <ethereality> but i need m4a and mp3 and mpeg
[12:20] <soneil> I'd almost lay money on it being an intel chipset that needs 915resolution installed
[12:20] <cables> !info compiz | haru
[12:20] <ubotu> haru: compiz: OpenGL window and compositing manager. In component main, is optional. Version 1:0.3.6-1ubuntu13 (feisty), package size 26 kB, installed size 60 kB
[12:21] <schrollini> Anyone have experience mounting Compact Flash cards?  I'm getting IRQ errors.
[12:21] <ethereality> so i still have to read that thing about restricted formats, it seems
[12:21] <skinnypuppy1334> VMServer, Selected quick switch, how do I get back to the VMserver view???
[12:21] <kazol> cables: I tried upgrading dapper to edgy, and it did not work when I booted it. The upgrades are not guaranteed to work.
[12:21] <cables> ethereality, no need
[12:21] <koruptah> cables, could i just extract the iso to a partition and make it bootable?
[12:21] <cables> kazol, I never said they were
[12:21] <jTr0n> ethereality:  use easyubuntu for that, just dont use it to install video drivers
[12:21] <cables> koruptah, my guess is no
[12:21] <Nrbelex> I just switched networks and my wireless card will no longer receive any data and can't connect - has anyone seen this before?
[12:21] <cables> jTr0n, no
[12:21] <cables> ethereality, find a file of the type you want to open, and doubleclick it
[12:21] <haru> cables, ermm it still doesnt say anything about compiz 0.5
[12:21] <jTr0n> why not?  it installed all the formats for me in about 3 clicks
[12:21] <cables> ethereality, the player that opens will automatically install a codec for it that will work with Rhythmbox
[12:21] <koruptah> cables, hrmm ok, so where do i go to do the upgrade sequence?
[12:22] <cables> !worksforme | ethereality
[12:22] <ubotu> ethereality: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[12:22] <dyrne> Nrbelex: sudo dhclient wifi0     acquires an ip?
[12:22] <cables> koruptah, I don't know how to do that on breezy.
[12:22] <dyrne> Nrbelex: where wifi0 is whatever
[12:22] <jTr0n> lol
[12:22] <pepse> so, nobody knows how to use ez-ipupdate with local IPs?
[12:22] <valle> barbarella_me, can I install the LAMP without the need to boot again he cd?
[12:22] <cables> haru, which means that that version isn't in the repos
[12:22] <jTr0n> ubuntu forums even say easyubuntu
[12:22] <koruptah> cables, yeah i've tried, but i dunno exactly what to do erg
[12:22] <nickrud> ethereality, the usual complaint we used to see here about automatix and it's ilk came when people tried to upgrade to the next ubuntu release
[12:22] <ethereality> oops. then what do i do when ubuntu tells me updates are available?
[12:23] <barbarella_me> valle:yes
[12:23] <ethereality> first thing i did when i installed this ubuntu 7.04 was install like 15 updates ...
[12:23] <ethereality> i thought that's what it wanted me to do ... like those stupid microsoft windows updates
[12:23] <valle> barbarella_me, I read the you can do it only with a command? do you know which one it is?
[12:23] <cables> ethereality, you click the update icon and it installs it for you
[12:23] <Evildobbi> Hey I have a mouse problem. I have tried 2 different mice but same result. If I press left and right mouse button at same time it will do something like as if I did a middle scroll button press. Anyone seen this before & or know how to fix it?
[12:23] <cables> ethereality, updates are completely different from codecs
[12:23] <nickrud> ethereality, it was the funny looking orange starburst icon?
[12:24] <ethereality> yeah, that thing in the top left corner
[12:24] <Nrbelex> dyrne, no such device - what else might it be listed as besides wifi0
[12:24] <ethereality> updates for ubuntu packages and stuff
[12:24] <skinnypuppy1334> I'm stuck in quick switch view in VM server, how do I get back to the host os and server view?
[12:24] <nickrud> ethereality, that's the right way then
[12:24] <cables> ethereality, so what's the problem with that?
[12:24] <ethereality> well, i didn't think anything.
[12:24] <koruptah> ok well does anyone know how i can make a partition bootable with grub?
[12:24] <ethereality> but you say not to do it just because i can.
[12:24] <jTr0n> easy ubuntu doesn't force install anything and doens't break updates
[12:24] <nickrud> ethereality, automatix, not upgrades
[12:25] <ethereality> gotcha.
[12:25] <cables> ethereality, i meant automatix and easyubuntu, not upgrades
[12:25] <parys> hello
[12:25] <cables> ethereality, can you do what I told you? Find a file of the type you want to be able to play, doubleclick it, and it will automatically install a codec that will work properly with Rhythmbox as well.
[12:25] <nickrud> Evildobbi, that's exactly what's supposed to happen in general
[12:25] <ethereality> i am right now
[12:25] <ethereality> thx :)
[12:25] <hikenboot> greetings all.. is there a boot time speeder for ubuntu?

[12:26] <nickrud> Evildobbi, any particular reason you want to turn it off?
[12:26] <skinnypuppy1334> Anyone, How do you turn off the Quick Switch view in VMserver ??? As soon as i run VMserver it goes into quick switch mode full screen. I need the server view back.
[12:26] <nickrud> Evildobbi, just so you know, that's a holdover when almost no one had three button mice
[12:26] <cables> ethereality, the ubotu message that latest versions aren't always best doesn't means Ubuntu's official updates are bad. Those are tested for stability.
[12:26] <parys> can anybody tell me if there is a possibility to switch workspaces in gnome in ubuntu 7.04 by moving window to screen edge ?
[12:27] <ethereality> um ...
[12:27] <Evildobbi> Well when i play a game left button is for fire and right button is for jump. When I go to do both it dose like i hit middle mouse button and than niether of what i wanted to do happens.
[12:27] <ethereality> well, i clicked on a m4a file
[12:27] <cables> parys, only with Beryl, as far as I know
[12:27] <cables> ethereality, are you using Feisty?
[12:27] <ethereality> GStreamer plugins for mms, wavpack, quicktime, musepack
[12:27] <ethereality> came up
[12:27] <cables> ethereality, yep, that should work
[12:27] <ethereality> GStreamer plugins from the "bad" set
[12:27] <canas2> how can I backup user settings?
[12:27] <dyrne> skinnypuppy1334: i dont do alot in vmware you mean the alt-ctrl-enter or whatever?
[12:27] <cables> ethereality, those are fine, it's just a weird nickname
[12:27] <ethereality> Gstreamer Bad Plug-ins is a set of plug-ins that aren't up to par compared to the rest. They might be close to being good quality, but they're missing something - be it a good code review, some documentation, a set of tests, a real live maintainer, or some actual wide use.
[12:27] <ethereality> oh ...
[12:27] <ethereality> okay then ...
[12:28] <Henica> Kay. We'll try again. I need some help. I'm trying to follow the guide to fix my resolution. I have an intel 950 graphics card, so I was following the intel directions. But, when I input the command "gksudo gedit /etc/default/915resolution" A blank screen comes up. Trying to edit/save it produces the error that the file could not be found. What am I doing wrong?
[12:28] <imbecile> can someone point me to a vpn client side tutorial for feisty? i'm extremely new at setting one up
[12:28] <parys> cables: shame, in xubuntu it works great
[12:28] <sam000> I can't get video to play in firefox
[12:28] <nickrud> parys, there's a package called brightside that adds that stuff
[12:28] <barbarella_me> valle:ther is no apt-get install lamp, if you mean that
[12:28] <cables> ethereality, it means what it says... they're not exactly up to par, but they should work fine.
[12:28] <skinnypuppy1334> Not the ctl+alt needed to get out of the VM no not that.
[12:28] <canas2> how can I backup user settings?
[12:29] <Nrbelex> dyrne, when I changed it to eth1, I get DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval (blah) a bunch of time then no DHCPOFFERS received
[12:29] <Evildobbi> its doing like i did paste LOL..
[12:29] <cables> canas2, back up your home directory (/home/your-user-name), including all the hidden files in there.
[12:29] <nickrud> Henica, did you install 915resolution?
[12:29] <Henica> Yes.
[12:29] <barbarella_me> imbecile:depends of the server software you want to connect to
[12:29] <ethereality> erm, i just installed that package, but the search for suitable codec error came up again. should i click no and see if the track will play again?
[12:29] <Possum> okay... weird quetion maybe... I'm running 64-bit ubuntu, have 64-bit and 32-bit firefox installed  I tend to use the 64-bit one since I don't generally need flash/java support.  But when I do need to view something flash or java I have to _close_ my running firefox to open the 32bit one... How can I work around this? (or should I ask in #firefox?)
[12:29] <sam000> I can't get video to play in firefox I installed all the restricted codecs and it worked fine in 6.10
[12:29] <canas2> cables, cause with a new user gnome start with old user no
[12:29] <cables> ethereality, close the player window and click again
[12:30] <cables> canas2, what?
[12:30] <parys> nickrud: thanks, brightside works great for me now :)
[12:30] <canas2> i have two user
[12:30] <skinnypuppy1334> There is an icon on the VM server says quick switch view... just had to try it... server now starts in quick switch mode and i can only see my vms in a quick switch format.. can't get back to host desktop, ctl alt doesn't escape
[12:30] <nickrud> Henica, then try typing /etc/default/9  and then hitting the tab key twice: if there's a file there that starts with a nine you'll see it
[12:30] <canas2> with the first gnome not start
[12:30] <Rev> ehtereality did you get my message?\
[12:30] <nickrud> parys, yw
[12:30] <ethereality> erm
[12:30] <canas2> with new user gnome start
[12:30] <ethereality> not sure
[12:30] <bjifas> joing irc.freenode.net
[12:30] <cables> ethereality ?
[12:31] <ethereality> will the GStreamer -- yeah?
[12:31] <Rev> www.easyubuntu.com  or org
[12:31] <ethereality> oh
[12:31] <ethereality> yeah
[12:31] <ethereality> i did
[12:31] <ethereality> and then i opened the file again
[12:31] <ethereality> um, i'm intalling the plugins for mpeg4 now
[12:31] <cables> ethereality, ok, that seems normal
[12:31] <ethereality> will the plugins for aac also take care of m4a?
[12:31] <ethereality> i thought they were both from apple itunes
[12:31] <ethereality> or sometihng.
[12:32] <cables> ethereality, whatever it tells you to install, you should... I did that and it works great.
[12:32] <Henica> Nickrud , it said there was no such file. Did i do something wrong?
[12:32] <nickrud> Henica, one sec
[12:32] <sam000> I can't get video to play in firefox I installed all the restricted codecs and it worked fine in 6.10
[12:33] <Henica> nickrud: I'm following this guide, about Intel Graphics Cards. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto#head-c7979448ab81077f16349d3ca4be7aa5a5a52de2
[12:33] <Henica> I just want to be able to have my screen res at 1280*800. ^^;

[12:34] <skinnypuppy1334> Anyone here ever used the quick switch view on VMware server???
[12:34] <nickrud> southafrikanse, hi back :)
[12:34] <Henica> nickrud: I see the 915resolution listed.
[12:34] <sam000> sorry
[12:35] <barbarella_me> southafrikanse:yes, those russian planes have to be on the ground!
[12:35] <Keiken_Hate> i m having a problem with the kde... can someone help me plz?/
[12:35] <CCmonster> sup folks,
[12:35] <cables> !ask | Keiken_Hate
[12:35] <ubotu> Keiken_Hate: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:35] <CCmonster> i need to map my Mouse Keys
[12:35] <CCmonster> i have a bluetooth Explorer Mouse
[12:35] <cables> !mouse | CCmonster, see if this helps
[12:35] <southafrikanse> barbarella_me: Sorry? Are you talking to me?
[12:35] <ubotu> CCmonster, see if this helps: Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto  - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto
[12:35] <CCmonster> i cannot get the forward and back buttons to work in firefox
[12:35] <nickrud> Henica, then it's a typo you're doing:  gksudo gedit /etc/default/915resolution
[12:35] <jTr0n_> hmmm i just started playing a dvd, then it started playing slomo, and now it says i dont have codecs for it
[12:35] <ethereality> ... what is your preferred format? what's the difference between "CD Quality, AAC (MPEG-4 audio)" and "CD Quality, Lossy (Ogg multimedia)" ... ogg is better than aac? but aac is perfectly fine?
[12:35] <barbarella_me> southafrikanse:yes, you talked about a mic
[12:36] <cables> !dvd | jTr0n
[12:36] <ubotu> jTr0n: 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
[12:36] <southafrikanse> barbarella_me: lol, mic as in microphone
[12:36] <Keiken_Hate> i want to change file manager in kde because when i click on a folder it tries to open everything with vlc player.. what can i do?
[12:36] <cables> ethereality, Ogg is free software. I use AAC and mp3 because they work on my iPod
[12:36] <jTr0n_> but it WAS playing...
[12:36] <Keiken_Hate> i want konqueror:/
[12:36] <CCmonster> has anyone had to alter their mouse?
[12:36] <kmasta> i got a new monitor a while back, but xorg didn't detect the new one and I can't get the 1400x900 resolution option that I want, what should I do?
[12:36] <jTr0n_> OGG is a container format, not a codec
[12:36] <cables> !mouse | CCmonster

[12:37] <CCmonster> i see that,
[12:37] <Jack_Sparrow> After the last update my screen went to 640 x 48- and I cant see enough of anything to even get it closed down correctly.  I am on that machine, but dual booted into windows to come here..
[12:37] <CCmonster> but some of that is confusing because imwheel doesnt work as advertised
[12:37] <IdleOne> are there any GUI encoders that can convert .mov to .avi?
[12:37] <cables> jTr0n, Ogg and Vorbis are free container formats and codecs, respectively. Happy?
[12:37] <barbarella_me> southafrikanse:have you enable it for recording in your mixer and is the volume up?
[12:37] <jTr0n_> :D yes
[12:37] <southafrikanse> barbarella_me: Yes
[12:37] <cables> IdleOne, I don't know of any GUI encoders, but there's a CLI one called mencoder.
[12:37] <Henica> nickrud: That seems to have worked, and I successfully edited the file. Do I reboot now?
[12:37] <Keiken_Hate> the problem is that i want to change file manager in kde because when i click on a folder it tries to open everything with vlc player.. what can i do?
[12:38] <IdleOne> cables, yeah I would prefer GUI :/
[12:38] <gravemind> hey, in gimp,  if I have an image on a white background and I only want the image, how do I get it? I'm pretty new at image manipulation
[12:38] <CCmonster> there are front-ends to mencoder
[12:38] <nickrud> Henica, that's what it says :)
[12:38] <jTr0n_> cables:  that libdvdread3 is installed
[12:38] <IdleOne> CCmonster, what are hey called
[12:38] <IdleOne> ?
[12:38] <Henica> Okay. ^^; Thanks for your help hon. I'll be back in a bit with more problems, I assure you.
[12:39] <CCmonster> one sec,
[12:39] <nickrud> Henica, but just logging out and hitting ctl-alt-backspace may be enough
[12:39] <CCmonster> there was one i saw the other day
[12:39] <cables> IdleOne, can you open a terminal?
[12:39] <IdleOne> cables, yeah why?
[12:39] <cables> IdleOne, to get libdvdcss installed
[12:39] <CCmonster> acid-rip i believe is one
[12:39] <IdleOne> cables, it's already installed
[12:39] <cables> CCmonster, that only rips DVD's, it doesn't do general encoding.
[12:40] <cables> IdleOne, libdvdcss, or libdvdread?
[12:40] <CCmonster> one sc
[12:40] <CCmonster> i know i saw one the other day
[12:40] <barbarella_me> southafrikanse:in the console, when you type "amixer controls" can you see something with MIC?
[12:40] <IdleOne> cables, css
[12:40] <cables> IdleOne, ok, then it should be fine... since it's not, try install vlc.
[12:40] <ethereality> (aren't there supposed to be four, not two, workspaces? or is that also customizable ... maybe i should shut up and start right-clicking ...)
[12:40] <IdleOne> cables, I think you mean this for jTr0n
[12:40] <CCmonster> gmencoder?
[12:40] <cables> IdleOne, vlc is a media player
[12:40] <atrus> any way to specify commands to execute before and after a suspend-to-ram?
[12:40] <cables> ethereality, start rigt clicking :)
[12:40] <ethereality> got it.
[12:40] <ethereality> yeah
[12:40] <ethereality> lol
[12:40] <cables> IdleOne, quite possible
[12:40] <ethereality> i figured it was that simple
[12:40] <ethereality> i like ubuntu
[12:41] <ethereality> :)
[12:41] <southafrikanse> barbarella_me: Yes. 2 Things
[12:41] <ethereality> but it takes me so long to figure things out sometimes :(
[12:41] <cables> jTr0n, can you open a terminal?
[12:41] <barbarella_me> southafrikanse:and they are?
[12:41] <CCmonster> avidemux?
[12:41] <harry> how do I create a new user from the command line?

[12:42] <southafrikanse> barbarella_me: Yes.
[12:42] <Jack_Sparrow> I could use some help getting my screen off of 640 x 480

[12:52] <kmasta> hey guys, i'm programming in eclipse and I think i'm only using Java 1.4, anybody know how to update my Java libraries to Java 5.0?
[12:52] <ethereality> i'm trying to add a new startup program ... how do you find the command to enter?
[12:52] <IdleOne> sercik, kqemu is in repos I believe
[12:52] <CCmonster> dont you copy it over ti /etc/init.d
[12:52] <sercik> Baktaah, you can also download an evaluation of win4lin.
[12:52] <IdleOne> !repos > sercik   (sercik, see the private message from ubotu)
[12:53] <Baktaah> sercik is there another one
[12:53] <Baktaah> sercik  vbox or something
[12:53] <Baktaah> I forgot it name
[12:53] <southafrikanse> barbarella_me: Didn't understand. Not English you know :)
[12:53] <codeyman> nickrud: .. Actually I added gaim to the startup and now forgot where i added it. I dont have a .gnomerc and its not there in the sessions
[12:53] <ethereality> (that's the program i was trying to add to startup; gaim.)
[12:53] <sercik> thak you again IdleOne
[12:54] <IdleOne> your welcome
[12:54] <barbarella_me> southafrikanse:in the console, when you type amixer cget numid=13 What does the values= say
[12:54] <nickrud> codeyman, you create the ~/.gnomerc, and I haven't used the latest version of session yet, so I can't vouch that it works :)
[12:55] <southafrikanse> barbarella_me: 30,30
[12:55] <ziggy23> I am trying to get the Firestarter firewall to start minimized as soon as I log on.  I entered the command "sudo firestarter  --start minimized" in the Starup tab of Session manager, but the command does not seem to work.  Ideas?
[12:55] <buz1> Yei! I got ubuntu dapper drake installed and it seems to be working :-)
[12:55] <Jack_Sparrow> Can someone walk me through changing my monitor type in my xorg.conf ?
[12:56] <nickrud> codeyman, try this: open session, and look at current session: you'll gaim. Select it, and use the tab below to change it to restart
[12:56] <nickrud> codeyman, it appears that gaim understands gnome's session protocol
[12:57] <mobutu> how do i make gnome open video in vlc instead of totem?
[12:57] <barbarella_me> southafrikanse:when you type in the console alsamixer. Can you see if the bar of the MIC is up? (esc is to get out)
[12:57] <nickrud> codeyman, erm. please ignore the last, I had a brain fart.
[12:58] <sgtmattbaker> are OEM computers put together by machines? (I dont mean building the actual components.)
[12:58] <afief> How can i specify that a specific module should not be loaded at startup?
[12:58] <chump> can someone help me understand why when there is an accent .. like  or  in my title bar that this caractere is replace by a rhombus with a question mark inside ?
[12:58] <southafrikanse> barbarella_me: Yes it is up. If I put it higher a loud sound comes
[12:59] <afief> chump: bad unicode support i suppose?
[12:59] <nickrud> ziggy23, you can't give the password to sudo in the startup like that ...
[12:59] <ffm> How can I stop Ubuntu from rewriting the /etc/motd every time on boot?
[12:59] <chump> hmm well .. it doesnt do it in every page .. :s
[01:00] <buz1> I've "made" a file which controlls the fan speed on my laptop. In the package is a script file. Will the service run automatically if i place the script in /etc/init.d?
[01:00] <nickrud> mobutu, right click an appropriate media file, at the bottom select properties, and change open with
[01:00] <buz1> or do I need to add it to a list of services somwhere
[01:00] <mobutu> chump: i just attached my screen with screen -U utf8 , now character display correctly
[01:01] <nickrud> buz1, run sudo update-rc.d defaults <scriptname> after you drop it in /etc/init.d, that will set you up
[01:01] <ethereality> do you know what "GStreamer error: failed to change state" means?
[01:01] <chump> mobutu: i guess that this is only one website who does not display correctly ...
[01:01] <poilm> Why does the font in ubuntu look so aweful? It never looked this bad in windows.
[01:01] <buz1> thanks nickrud
[01:01] <poilm> Why does the font in ubuntu look so aweful? It never looked this bad in windows.
[01:01] <nickrud> buz1, man update-rc.d will explain what's happening
[01:01] <dyrne> ffm: is motd.tail overwritten i think i just made my changes there.  anyway its /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh
[01:02] <chump> well let's all forget about this lol
[01:02] <barbarella_me> southafrikanse:what is the number of the command in a console, amixer controls |grep "Capture Source"
[01:03] <barbarella_me> poilm:and windows is even worse as Mac
[01:03] <southafrikanse> barbarella_me: If I type what you said nothing happens
[01:03] <poilm> barbarella_me, ? For some reason, it seems to small. Also, when I make it larger, It looks too big.
[01:04] <sambiase> hi..does anyone here have XQDE?
[01:04] <ziggy23> nickrud: yes changed sudoers
[01:04] <n0deal> Anyone have an opinion on whether installing ubuntu lampp packages seperately or using say Xampp makes more sense for development?
[01:04] <barbarella_me> southafrikanse:what is the hardware soundcard you have?
[01:04] <Ademan_> is "organisations"  the european way of spelling organization?
[01:04] <sgtmattbaker> are OEM PCs built with machines
[01:05] <Ademan_> sgtmattbaker: probably depends on the OEM
[01:05] <dyrne> Ademan_: yeah. british s vz american z
[01:05] <dyrne> Ademan_: i think
[01:05] <southafrikanse> barbarella_me: HDA intel?
[01:05] <nickrud> ziggy23, start a fresh terminal, and type sudo /usr/sbin/firestarter, does it start?
[01:05] <poilm> barbarella_me, ? For some reason, it seems to small. Also, when I make it larger, It looks too big.
[01:05] <poilm> barbarella_me, ? For some reason, it seems to small. Also, when I make it larger, It looks too big.
[01:05] <ZCODE> Can you perform a quick format on Linux?
[01:05] <vulcan40> is Java in Synaptic manager??
[01:05] <southafrikanse> barbarella_me: If I type what you said nothing happen
[01:05] <nickrud> ziggy23, the fresh terminal is important
[01:05] <southafrikanse> barbarella_me: I think it's that one
[01:05] <Ademan_> ah alright, i just saw that on canonical's front page, and it caught my eye (and open office's spellchecker) and i figured it was probably just an alternative spelling
[01:06] <IdleOne> !java | vulcan40
[01:06] <ubotu> vulcan40: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[01:06] <dyrne> ZCODE: the default format is what windows call quick. its not low level
[01:06] <barbarella_me> poilm:you are right, it is poor.
[01:06] <poilm> barbarella_me, I was talking about the linux font.
[01:06] <ethereality> do i want RPMs or BINs?
[01:06] <ethereality> http://java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp?locale=en&host=java.com:80 to install ...
[01:06] <jTr0n> hmm rebooting didn't fix my dvd issue.  i installed libdvdread3 and ran install-css.sh .  it was working fine for a couple of minutes, but then the dvd playback went into slow motion, sound cut out, then stopped.  now i can't get any dvd's to play, even after rebooting
[01:06] <IdleOne> ethereality, neither
[01:06] <IdleOne> ethereality, you want .deb
[01:07] <ethereality> oh ....
[01:07] <southafrikanse> crimsun_: hello
[01:07] <barbarella_me> southafrikanse:in a console, what does lspci say about your soundcard
[01:07] <jTr0n> i reinstalled libdvdread3 but now when i try to run install-css.sh it tells me invalid command
[01:07] <nickrud> ethereality, bins if you absolutely must use something not in the repos
[01:07] <ethereality> that's what i've been trying to do, use the add/remove thingy
[01:07] <cblack0> apt-cacher is cool
[01:07] <ethereality> i've installed two different Sun Java things from it and neither seems to be the right one
[01:07] <jTr0n> anyone got any idea what could be wrong?
[01:07] <ethereality> so i thought maybe i should just try the file they provide
[01:07] <ZCODE> dyrne: mke2fs -J on a 300GB drive takes forever
[01:08] <ziggy23> and changed the line username ALL= NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/firestarter  to username ALL= NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/firestarter because ubuntu is based on Debian.
[01:08] <southafrikanse> barbarella_me: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)
[01:08] <nickrud> ethereality, try running sudo update-alternatives --config java , and select the java you want (this selects from the java's that are available from the repos)
[01:08] <crimsun_> southafrikanse: hi.
[01:08] <dyrne> ZCODE: mkfs.ext3 or mkfs.ext2 -J shouldnt take that long. though i might be wrong. it happened once
[01:08] <cblack0> there is a built in update-java-alternatives
[01:08] <southafrikanse> crimsun_: I will never forget the guy that helped me with my sound problem :P
[01:09] <loco_aullador> Hi, anyone knows a web that explains how to setup iptables with fwbuilder?
[01:09] <cblack0> update-java-alternatives -s java-1.5.0-sun
[01:09] <afief> How can i specify that a specific module should not be loaded at startup?
[01:09] <nickrud> ziggy23, have you tried the test I gave you above?
[01:09] <eegore> putridp: /leave
[01:09] <ethereality> yeah, it was already selected, the #6 ....
[01:09] <ethereality> ugh
[01:10] <dyrne> !blacklist | afief
[01:10] <ubotu> afief: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add  blacklist <modulename>  to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type  sudo update-initramfs -u 
[01:10] <ziggy23> nickrud: checking my scroll buffer
[01:10] <nickrud> cblack0, things change. I haven't run across that yet. Thanks
[01:10] <PaulButler> iwconfig gives me this, but my wireless still does not work - any ideas? iwconfig: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20273/
[01:10] <Deez_Nutz> hi ... where can i find the minimum system requirements for ubuntu fiesty fawn ???
[01:10] <amit> hi i have this problem. every time i press "u","i" or "p" on the keybaord i get number instead of letters. 4 instead u, 5 instead i etc. any idea what this is? i guess it might get fix if i reboot, but i want to file a bug and i dont know how to repreduce this bug. ps i write this messege via a different terminal (ctl+alt+F1)
[01:11] <cblack0> the other thing you sometimes have to do w/ java is manually edit /etc/jvm to put the one you want at the top. annoyingly apps like eclipse do not respect the alternatives setup and look in /etc/jvm instead
[01:11] <dyrne> PaulButler: essid is blank
[01:11] <haru> Deez_Nutz, its way too low.. successfully tested on p3 512 ram
[01:11] <dyrne> PaulButler: sudo iwconfig eth1 essid networkname
[01:11] <Deez_Nutz> is it documented someplace?
[01:11] <dyrne> PaulButler: then sudo dhclient eth1
[01:12] <afief> thanks dryne, too bad I can't restart and check(compiling new kernel right now)
[01:12] <nickrud> amit, does your keyboard have a function key that turns on a number pad on those letters? (mine does)
[01:12] <ethereality> what does /etc stand for? so i can better remember it.
[01:12] <Henica> Does anyone use CrossOver Office 2.0, or know a program like it that works well?
[01:12] <nickrud> cblack0, O^0 that might explain my eclispe issue then
[01:12] <yimmmmy>  ok guys i really need help i think im screwed  :{
 i just installed ubuntu and i went to restart now and the when i did it says error loading os
[01:13] <dyrne> ethereality: in my little corner of geekdom we always pronounced it etcsee
[01:13] <sytimax> how do i add a nic to start at boot that doesnt have a ip adress associated to it?
[01:13] <barbarella_me> southafrikanse:his it a laptop
[01:13] <yimmmmy> please help me
[01:13] <nickrud> was kinda interested in looking at that bloated thing
[01:13] <amit> okay i feel very stupid now! :( thanks  nickrud
[01:13] <barbarella_me> southafrikanse:is it a laptop?
[01:13] <southafrikanse> barbarella_me: Yes.
[01:13] <nickrud> amit, np. You didn't see my brain fart earlier ;)
[01:14] <yimmmmy> please some one
[01:14] <barbarella_me> southafrikanse:is it a hp?
[01:14] <yimmmmy> yes
[01:14] <southafrikanse> barbarella_me: LG
[01:15] <cblack0> nickrud, most likely your eclipse issue DOES have to do with not having a real (non gcj) java in /etc/jvm
[01:15] <yimmmmy> hello
[01:15] <nickrud> cblack0, I'll check that out in the near future. Thanks
[01:15] <cblack0> no problem
[01:16] <Demon`> Hello
[01:16] <dyrne> Demon`: hi
[01:16] <PaulButler> thanks dyrne, looks like I'm still having connection issues though
[01:16] <yimmmmy> helo can u help me
[01:16] <Demon`> I need some clarification about the 7.04 installer
[01:16] <Henica> Anyone?
[01:16] <PaulButler> i don't remember where i left off on the installation, so i might just do a reinstall
[01:16] <yimmmmy> that is what used
[01:16] <IdleOne> Demon`, ask away
[01:16] <dyrne> PaulButler: does it acquire an ip? is it wep or something too?
[01:17] <barbarella_me> southafrikanse:i have heard about some mixer issues with the 82801G. so you can better file a bug report. http://www.ubuntu.com/community/reportproblem
[01:17] <PaulButler> it is WEP, yes
[01:17] <southafrikanse> barbarella_me: What do you mean a bug report?
[01:17] <ziggy23> nickrud: says sudo: /user/sbin/firestarter : command not found
 i just installed ubuntu and i went to restart now and the when i did it says error loading os
[01:17] <ethereality> is there anything special you have to do with firefox so it'll use ja.....
[01:17] <ethereality> hmmm
[01:17] <ethereality> lol
[01:17] <ethereality> besides make sure it's enabled in prefs
[01:18] <dyrne> PaulButler: sorry i dont know gui well but try 'sudo iwconfig eth1 essid networkname key whateverwepkey; sudo dhclient eth1'
[01:18] <yimmmmy> error loading os
[01:18] <nickrud> ziggy23, now that is very odd, what does   which firestarter say?
[01:18] <afief> could someone try to port scan me? I wanna see if my router is port forwarding correctly, my IP is 89.138.65.238
[01:18] <southafrikanse> barbarella_me: Ok. Don't mind. I already read it :D
[01:18] <southafrikanse> barbarella_me: Thanks for the help anyway
[01:18] <rogue780|laptop> in edgy when I inserted a SD card into my laptop it would automatically mount it and put an icon on my desktop. now when I insert an SD card under feisty nothing happens. the card reader is built into my laptop.
[01:19] <yimmmmy> error loading os
[01:19] <Demon`> I have two HDDs, one with an XP installation(ATA), and the other is mostly empty (SATA). I went through the process of partitioning, and I was too afraid to continue without knowing if GRUB will ask where to be installed, since I want to use the XP bootloader to boot grub (had my shard of GRUB+XP issues)
[01:19] <The_Green> Arnt SD readers in laptop not supported at all in linux?
[01:19] <ziggy23> afielf: there is a good port scan at the grc.com site -- look for shields up!
[01:19] <ZCODE> I accidentally delete the sg module for 6.06.  Could someone /dcc me a copy.  Thanks
[01:19] <ethereality> i guess i'm going to uninstall all these javas from the repository and try manually installing the version from http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp
[01:19] <yimmmmy> error loading os
[01:20] <yimmmmy> help
[01:20] <barbarella_me> southafrikanse:whe have to help each other to get linux going. So if you found something, tell ubuntu.
[01:20] <afief> ziggy23, I'm actually using nmap, but i'd like someone from outside my LAN to try
[01:20] <southafrikanse> barbarella_me: Ok.
[01:20] <southafrikanse> barbarella_me: Goodbye
[01:20] <ziggy23> nickrud:  I am confused by your reply....I typed in the command at a terminal
[01:20] <yimmmmy> can you see me typeing
[01:21] <yimmmmy> ?>???
[01:21] <afief> yimmmmy, yes
[01:21] <nickrud> ziggy23, sorry.  which firestarter    will tell you where firestarter is
[01:21] <felixx> no
[01:21] <Demon`> Will I be prompted before GRUB gets installed?
[01:21] <felixx> its faded a little :P
[01:21] <jvai> brb
[01:21] <barbarella_me> southafrikanse:ok
[01:21] <buz1> I lost track of the advice I got earlier. I've put a script in /etc/init.d. What is the update command I need to run, to get the service to run at boot time
[01:21] <yimmmmy> i need help
[01:21] <afief> yimmmmy, but unless you give some more details we won't be able to figure anything out
[01:21] <nickrud> Demon`, if you use the alternate install cd, you can tell grub where to put itself
[01:21] <yimmmmy> error loading os
[01:21] <rogue780|laptop> in edgy when I inserted a SD card into my laptop it would automatically mount it and put an icon on my desktop. now when I insert an SD card under feisty nothing happens. the card reader is built into my laptop.
[01:21] <afief> yimmmmy, okay, does it say anything else before that error?
[01:22] <iceman_> can someone help me with my sound
[01:22] <yimmmmy> i just installed ubuntu
[01:22] <yimmmmy> no
[01:22] <Demon`> googling...
[01:22] <chump> google is your friend !
[01:22] <joeExample2> hi all
[01:22] <Horscht> hey, i finaly found a way to change the color of the tooltips in feisty. But how can i change this blue line to something else?
[01:22] <Horscht> http://img247.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bildschirmfotodi5.png
[01:22] <dyrne> iceman_: tell the channel your problem someone will probably be able to help
[01:22] <afief> yimmmmy, that's weird... I am no professional, but perhaps you should just try to reinstall?
[01:22] <ziggy23> still confused?  are you trying to get me to find the actual location of the executable?  (Newbie linux user comung from Windows XP here.)
[01:22] <felixx> yimmmmy: i just installed it as well not a few days ago. and i have to say one thing, sign up on the forums. there are people just waiting to help
[01:23] <ZCODE> I accidentally deleted the sg module for 6.06, could someone /dcc me a copy of it.  Appreciate it.
[01:23] <joeExample2> is there a way to get ubuntu to boot strictly into terminal mode (i.e. to not start X)?
[01:23] <afief> rogue780|laptop, can you find any mentioning of your card in lsusb, lspci, ls(anything)?
[01:23] <felixx> i was amazed of the response time
[01:23] <barbarella_me> iceman_:sounds like a question!
[01:23] <yimmmmy> the fourm at ubuntu
[01:23] <felixx> yes
[01:23] <yimmmmy> i need help now i need my pc like now
[01:23] <felixx> there is a beginner forum
[01:23] <yimmmmy> ineed to work on it
[01:23] <iceman_> yes the sound went out about 3 months ago
[01:23] <felixx> http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=73
[01:23] <cafuego> ZCODE: just apt-get install --reinstall you kernel
[01:23] <iceman_> just need some help
[01:24] <felixx> absolute beginner
[01:24] <Henica> Hmm.. I notice that in firefox, all of the text is blurry. Kinda of like when you turn on smoothing text for windows. Is there a way to fix this?
[01:24] <buz1> got it - update-rd.d
[01:24] <felixx> check it out
[01:24] <afief> yimmmmy, work on the liveCD? I've been working on it last month(because my HDD died)
[01:24] <Demon`> you got to kidding me... I can't use the GUI installer and decide where to install GRUB?
[01:24] <nickrud> ziggy23, yeah, (I stepped away)
[01:24] <afief> yimmmmy, and try to reinstall
[01:24] <ethereality> actually, yeah, henica, a agree with you
[01:24] <cafuego> ZCODE: dccing binary kernel modules from strangers on irc is such a bad idea, i don't know where to satrt
[01:24] <dyrne> iceman_: you might want to pastebin the output of amixer and give us the url
[01:24] <ethereality> *i agree
[01:24] <dyrne> iceman_: dont paste it here :)
[01:24] <iceman_> i have no idea what that means
[01:24] <dyrne> !pastebin | iceman_
[01:25] <ubotu> iceman_: 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)
[01:25] <recon> !pastebin | iceman_
[01:25] <iceman_> my brother is a computer person im not
[01:25] <crimsun__> iceman_: 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.
[01:25] <dyrne> iceman_: open a terminal and type amixer then copy all the stuff it says
[01:25] <ziggy23> ok how would I do a command that would let me search for the executable (like DOS dir command)?
[01:25] <EruditeHermit> hey, I am trying to setup ubuntu as a guest on my debian xen box. However, my debootstrap doesnt have a fiesty script. Can anyone point me to somewhere where I can either get that script or can install it from a CD?
[01:25] <ethereality> ugh, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware makes manual installation seem difficult. i really don't want to go through this hassle if i can just install it with the Add/Remove... thing! This is pretty frustrating.
[01:25] <dyrne> iceman_: listen to crimsun hes much better than me with sound
[01:25] <wiseelben>  what does mem in "top_mem mem x" return? the memory used in mb or a percentage of sort? because it doesn't match the memory in System manager
[01:26] <Henica> Is there a way to fix it though, ethereality?
[01:26] <recon> ethereality: see the topic in #ubuntu-offtopic.
[01:26] <nickrud> ziggy23, ls is the dir command; but which firestarter is quicker. if it comes back with nothing, then firestarter is not on the command search path
[01:26] <Henica> It's terribly hard to read.
[01:26] <ethereality> not from what i've seen, henica, but i'm very new, and don't know much. oh, mine's not that hard to read.
[01:26] <ethereality> it's just not as sharp as here in gaim
[01:27] <ZCODE> cafuego: It's okay.. .this is a test machine.... Could you dcc it to me?
[01:27] <TriGz_> Hey hey - was wondering if anyone can help me mount a windows hard-drive so i can listen to the music that's on it?
[01:27] <ziggy23> ok so edit the PATH variable in Linux then?
[01:27] <Henica> Perhaps it's becasue I have terrible eyes them, ethereality. ^^;
[01:27] <recon> TriGz_: OK.
[01:27] <TriGz_> recon: yay =] 
[01:27] <recon> TriGz_: Do you know what /dev/ it is?
[01:28] <Henica> But hopefully some in here will tell us how to fix it.

[01:28] <rogue780|laptop> c Unknown device 0551 (rev 01)"
[01:28] <TriGz_> recon: /dev/? :P
[01:28] <recon> TriGz_: OK.
[01:28] <recon> TriGz_: First, go to your home directory.
[01:28] <yimmmmy> how do you post a thread
[01:28] <nickrud> ziggy23, yes, but: that should already be set properly. does dpkg -l firestarter show two i's at the beginning?
[01:28] <yimmmmy> on the fourm
[01:28] <TriGz_> recon: yah?
[01:28] <barbarella_me> TriGz_:is it a ntfs partition?
[01:28] <recon> TriGz_: OK, in the terminal type "mkdir windows".
[01:28] <dyrne> TriGz_: sudo fdisk -l then whatever drive is ntfs: sudo mkdir /media/windows; sudo chmown $USER:USER /media/windows; sudo mount -o umask=000 /dev/hda1 /media/windows   <--or something
[01:29] <recon> TriGz_: What dyrne said works too.
[01:29] <jTr0n> i found a solution to my media problems on linux.  same one i had in windows all these years.  vlc :D
[01:29] <nickrud> ziggy23, this is not rocket science you're doing here; there's just a few troubleshooting steps to take
[01:29] <afief> rogue780|laptop, so I guess the driver is loaded(I don't know your specific hardware, so don't take my word on it) which means you could try mounting the stuff in /dev
[01:29] <rogue780|laptop> afief, that is from lspci
[01:29] <jTr0n> totem blows
[01:29] <TriGz_> Heh, thanks guys ^^
[01:29] <ziggy23> lnickrud: lemme check -- run sudo -dpkg ... from a fresh terminal?
[01:29] <rogue780|laptop> afief, but /dev/what?
[01:29] <afief> rogue780|laptop, I don't know :(
[01:30] <dyrne> TriGz_: i left the $ off second user but you get the idea
[01:30] <afief> jTr0n, write a patch to make it better
[01:30] <barbarella_me> dyrne:hmm, i don't want to have you computer hd, when rebooting in windows.
[01:30] <nexous> Do I need to install anything into Feisty to start working with C++?
[01:30] <nickrud> ziggy23, that one doesn't matter: the reason you ran the sudo command from a fresh terminal was to be sure sudo wasn't using a cached password
[01:30] <jenni> hola
[01:30] <jTr0n> vlc works better, so i'll just migrate my user base... ie me
[01:31] <dyrne> barbarella_me: hmm? i havent actually had a ntfs drive for a while is that wrong?
[01:31] <afief> nexous,  yes, the g++ compiler, but i'd recommend the build-essentials
[01:31] <TriGz_> dyrne: yah
[01:31] <nickrud> ziggy23, I'm running short on time; I leave in about ten
[01:31] <jenni> hola
[01:31] <jenni> hi
[01:31] <nexous> afief: build-essentials will have a compiler i presume?
[01:31] <barbarella_me> dyrne:so how do you know it works?
[01:31] <unfold> nexous, of course
[01:31] <nexous> unfold: okay thanks.
[01:31] <afief> nexous, build-essentials is a meta package that will install C, C++ standard libraries and the manpages(dunno if i missed something)
[01:31] <ethereality> thanks for all your help, everyone.
[01:31] <dyrne> barbarella_me: well the umask option should make it to where the normal user can read it
[01:32] <afief> nexous, c compiler=gcc, c++ compiler=g++
[01:32] <unfold> nexous, you might want to use some kind of ide
[01:32] <unfold> i.e. kdevelop
[01:32] <nexous> afief: thanks
[01:32] <buz1> is this right?
[01:32] <buz1> I updated a script with update-rc.d and got this output
[01:32] <buz1>  Adding system startup for /etc/init.d/dellfand ...
[01:32] <buz1>    /etc/rc0.d/K20dellfand -> ../init.d/dellfand
[01:32] <buz1>    /etc/rc1.d/K20dellfand -> ../init.d/dellfand
[01:32] <buz1>    /etc/rc6.d/K20dellfand -> ../init.d/dellfand
[01:32] <buz1>    /etc/rc2.d/S20dellfand -> ../init.d/dellfand
[01:32] <buz1>    /etc/rc3.d/S20dellfand -> ../init.d/dellfand
[01:32] <buz1>    /etc/rc4.d/S20dellfand -> ../init.d/dellfand
[01:32] <buz1>    /etc/rc5.d/S20dellfand -> ../init.d/dellfand
[01:32] <nexous> unfold: okay, i will check one out for gnome.
[01:32] <buz1> I guess this means that the script i srun when the kernel has finished loading. The service controlls the fan of the laptop, so I want it to load as early as possible and shut down as late as possible. Can I change any of the settings to make this better?
[01:32] <TriGz_> Hmm weird.
[01:33] <afief> nexous, I think unfold is right, you could use anjuta(gnome) or kdevelop(kde) they help a lot when you're new. but I strongly advise using the terminal since you're (becoming) a developer
[01:33] <barbarella_me> dyrne:so...and you don't think MS will change something in the ntfs code when they like to. Very dangerous
[01:33] <nexous> afief: yes, I'm fine with using terminal, do majority of my php and ruby programming in it.
[01:33] <TriGz_> Anyone got any idea's why amarok won't play my .mp3's that are on the NTFS HD, but it will play the mp3's on my thumb-drive?
[01:34] <afief> nexous, then rock on:D but i have a question: do you have a good source for a C developer to learn php?
[01:34] <cblack0> TriGz_, the DRM in amarok won't allow it
[01:34] <TriGz_> cblack0: that sucks :(
[01:34] <cblack0> TriGz_, I was kidding
[01:34] <cblack0> sorry
[01:34] <nolan__> DRM sucks
[01:34] <jTr0n> lol
[01:34] <TriGz_> cblack0: =[
[01:34] <nickrud> buz1, looks good
[01:34] <barbarella_me> buz1:please pastebin next time!
[01:34] <nexous> afief: I'm not sure on language similaritie.. but,
[01:35] <afief> please keep linux drm free or i'll bomb you all to hell:D
[01:35] <nolan__> haha
[01:35] <buz1> thnx nickrud
[01:35] <nolan__> anyone know how to hide events in xchat?
[01:35] <nickrud> buz1, yes, look at the manpage for update-rc.d. also, you might like bum, it's a graphical one you can use to fine tune
[01:35] <buz1> @barbarella: I'm sorry, I dont know what you mean - this is my firs time in Gaim and also on IRC...
[01:35] <PrimoTurbo> Is there anyway to make xchat go to tray on close?
[01:35] <nexous> afief: but, for the most part, it's just a thing you have to get used to, plus it's another 'common sense' language as I look upon it.
[01:35] <ziggy23> nickrud: not getting success if you have to run I will ask someone else sorry I couldn't get this going
[01:36] <dsmith_> http://blog.fon.com/en/archive/technology/fon-abandons-microsoft-adopts-ubuntu.html
[01:36] <dsmith_> Another switcher
[01:36] <dsmith_> :)
[01:36] <buz1> @nichrud: i read the man, but it isn't clear to me what I can enable at which runlevel
[01:36] <PrimoTurbo> I have the xchat icon in tray and can right click it and select hide but I close the damn window so many time thinking it work slike pidgin or azuerues
[01:36] <|StOnE|> hi ppl
[01:36] <afief> nexous, it sure is, but i was kinda looking for something to get me started without handholding me and saying "this is a variable, variables are very nice and tasty with ketchup"
[01:36] <nickrud> ziggy23, just so you know: the firewall that firestarter creates is run on startup: all you're doing is starting the frontend
[01:36] <nuked_omen> where does ubuntu mount a digital camera memory?
[01:37] <barbarella_me> hi |StOnE|
[01:37] <afief> |StOnE|, hi
[01:37] <PrimoTurbo> using xchat 2.8.0 from repo, any help pls?
[01:37] <Pelo> sudo make rain
[01:37] <|StOnE|> hi
[01:37] <afief> nuked_omen, well, it didn't mount mine, but it offered to import everything from it(weird)
[01:37] <Horscht> how can i add/change a background picture into nautilus?
[01:37] <nuked_omen> sudo make fire
[01:37] <Pelo> PrimoTurbo,  what is the issue ?
[01:37] <dsmith_> BASH.. rain not a recognizable filena,e
[01:37] <dsmith_> BASH.. rain not a recognizable filename
[01:37] <PrimoTurbo> Okay when I press X button on xchat I want it to minimize into tray
[01:37] <PrimoTurbo> instead of close
[01:37] <Pelo> nuked_omen,  no fire it's hot enough already
[01:37] <ziggy23> nickrud: understood...but I need the frontend until I am more proficient with the command line
[01:38] <afief> Pelo sudo make dist-clear && sudo make windows_die
[01:38] <nuked_omen> afief: it mounts mine too, but i just wanted to access the drive
[01:38] <|StOnE|> any person know how i can install the usb ?
[01:38] <nickrud> Horscht, right click the desktop, and drag a picture onto the dialog window
[01:38] <dsmith_> afief: lol
[01:38] <PrimoTurbo> I have the xchat icon in tray but I can only right click and select hide to hide xchat into the icon
[01:38] <nuked_omen> Pelo: i like it hot
[01:38] <nuked_omen> :P
[01:38] <Pelo> PrimoTurbo,  check in  settings > prefs
[01:38] <nickrud> ziggy23, hang in there
[01:38] <afief> nuked_omen, if it's mounted then it's supposed to be in /media or /mnt(probably the former)
[01:38] <PrimoTurbo> Pelo: cant see anything about that :(
[01:38] <nuked_omen> afief: i tried /media already didn't find it
[01:39] <Pelo> PrimoTurbo,  you might need to disable the tray icon ,  consider asking in #xchat
[01:39] <ndee> whenever I try to logout of gnome, I have to press log out twice, otherwise, it won't logout. What could that be?
[01:39] <firefoxman> Hello.

[01:49] <Slofp> %50%65%6c%6f%2c%20%70%6c%65%61%73%65%20%72%65%61%64%20%6d%79%20%61%62%6f%76%65%20%70%6f%73%74%21
[01:49] <crimsun__> Jeaners: download that file and rename it to ~/.asoundrc
[01:49] <nuked_omen> mobutu: produce what? isn't there enough already?
[01:49] <chump> Slofp: if you have a question ask it but don't paste that shit over here !
[01:49] <crimsun__> Jeaners: then restart your alsa apps.  Upmix will work for all native ALSA apps.
[01:50] <nolan__> i have a beginner question
[01:50] <Pelo> soldado, I would investigater furnther before doing the switch,  try asking here at different times of day ( different ppl in )  and check the forum for basic info on it,   it will at least let you know if ppl are using hthat featuer
[01:50] <dyrne> barbarella_me: i looked at the mounting script in wiki. is there a reason different mask values given to files and directories? why is 0000 dangerous for files?
[01:50] <nuked_omen> nolan__: ask
[01:50] <afief> mobutu, what is the reason for a computer to be there? to process 0s and 1s(and store/send them), but that doesn't exactly cut it, does it?
[01:50] <Pelo> nolan__,  ask away
[01:50] <barbarella_me> Slofp:do you think so!
[01:50] <nolan__> if i want to download an app, what do i look for?  ex. debian, fedora, what does this all mean?
[01:50] <Jeaners> It doesnt work?
[01:51] <Jeaners> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_setup_the_surround_speakers_.285.1_and_others.29_with_ALSAhttp://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_setup_the_surround_speakers_.285.1_and_others.29_with_ALSA
[01:51] <Pelo> nolan__,   either packages identified as ubuntu or deb packages ( debian) or source files   ( http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/ )
[01:51] <Jeaners> I used that and it doesnt play with all speakers? Do I need to restart after I do that?
[01:51] <afief> nolan__, you're in ubuntu(debians cousin), they differ in the packaging(one prefers cartons the other bags)
[01:51] <fox2k> @nolan  first try a look in the repository
[01:51] <fox2k> @nolan  --> synaptics
[01:51] <Pelo> Jeaners, what doesn't work ? the links or the guide ?
[01:51] <Slofp> %62%61%72%62%61%72%65%6c%6c%61%5f%6d%65%2c%20%64%6f%20%49%20%74%68%69%6e%6b%20%77%68%61%74%3f
[01:51] <nuked_omen> nolan__: basically you have to download the package for your operating system
[01:51] <Jeaners> The speakers
[01:51] <nolan__> okay, fox2k, do you know suggest and supplement repositories for ubuntu?
[01:52] <afief> nolan__, but generaly you should stick to what synaptic provides(don't forget to enable multiverse and universe)
[01:52] <Jeaners> Like I did what the guide said
[01:52] <Jeaners> and the speakers still dont work?
[01:52] <nolan__> how do i enable that afief?
[01:52] <soldado> Pelo : I agree with you but you know i want to delay this big change after taking CISSP exam but my manager pushing to
[01:52] <Pelo> Jeaners, ic,  consider checking the forum as well ,  but I donT' think rebooting woud do anyting
[01:52] <nuked_omen> nolan__: the fiesty repositories got pretty much everything i need
[01:52] <Evildobbi> Hey is there a way to chmod 666 /dev/input/event* permently? I have to do it every time i reboot and I need it that way for my specific device driver to work.
[01:52] <Jeaners> Pelo : I already posted a topic.
[01:52] <scotv453> is there a media player i can use on my home computer and get clients/web browser to play my music anywhere? Like mpd but i can't get it to work.
[01:52] <Jeaners> But NOBODY will even look at it
[01:53] <nolan__> okay, thanks nuked_omen
[01:53] <afief> nolan__, system->administration->synaptic. then in the menu (don't remember where exactly) press repositories and check them
[01:53] <fox2k> @nolan   what do you want to install?
[01:53] <nuked_omen> np
[01:53] <Pelo> Jeaners,  I meant search what is already there,  there is probably a fix in theforum already
[01:53] <crimsun__> Jeaners: does ``aplay /usr/share/sounds/*up.wav'' work?
[01:53] <scotv453> is there a media player i can use on my home computer and get clients/web browser to play my music anywhere? Like mpd but i can't get it to work.
[01:54] <afief> Evildobbi, well, I don't know, but out of curiosity, what driver is that
[01:54] <Evildobbi> afief: Belkin nostromo n52 linux driver.. :D
[01:54] <Evildobbi> afief: won't load the driver without it being chmod'ed
[01:54] <afief> scotv453, vlc and mplayer?
[01:54] <Pelo> scotv453,  if you already know of an app that does that , look in wikipedia for that appl  toward the bottom of the page there is often a list of alternatives or link to comparison with other similar app
[01:54] <Jeaners> aplay /usr/share/sounds/*up.wav'' work?
[01:54] <Jeaners> wait
[01:55] <Jeaners> aplay: main:550: audio open error: Device or resource busy
[01:55] <afief> Evildobbi, wait a sec, drivers run in kernel space, so they should be able to access it anyway
[01:55] <nuked_omen> Evildobbi: i'm sure there is a script that gets executed everytime you boot so you could insert whatever you want
[01:55] <crimsun__> Jeaners: lsof /dev/dsp* /dev/audio* /dev/mixer* /dev/snd/*
[01:55] <nuked_omen> you just have to know which one
[01:55] <Evildobbi> thats the fun huh nuked? D:
[01:56] <Jeaners> COMMAND     PID  USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE  NODE NAME
[01:56] <Jeaners> mixer_app 10483 chris   18u   CHR 116,13      13470 /dev/snd/controlC0

[01:56] <nuked_omen> Evildobbi: yeah :D i don't want to take it away from you
[01:56] <crimsun__> Jeaners: close Firefox.  Flash 9 doesn't play well with upmixing.
[01:56] <Evildobbi> lol
[01:56] <Jeaners> Closed.
[01:56] <Jeaners> Now what?
[01:56] <crimsun__> Jeaners: try the aplay command
[01:56] <afief> Evildobbi, should be something at /etc/rc from what i remember reading in LFS
[01:57] <Jeaners> It worked
[01:57] <Jeaners> All speakers
[01:57] <Jeaners> It works!
[01:58] <Jeaners> Thanks all!
[01:58] <eiceic> oi
[01:58] <Evildobbi> afief: dose it matter that it only works if I do sudo chmod blah blah?
[01:58] <Jeaners> Thanks to all who helped me, really, I mean this has been a problem for a LONG, LONG TIME.
[01:58] <eiceic> may name is alex

[01:59] <Pelo> eiceic,  hello alex,
[01:59] <afief> Evildobbi, I am no professional in this, never even tried it, but i think you don't even need sudo since that script runs with root previliges anyway
[01:59] <eiceic> hollow
[01:59] <afief> Evildobbi, or were you asking about something else?(sorry)
[01:59] <the_hammer> i want to know if anyone has problems playing dvd +R
[01:59] <IdleOne> the_hammer, whats the question?
[01:59] <afief> the_hammer, kindly restate your question, not everybody looks all the time,
[02:00] <the_hammer> ok
[02:00] <afief> the_hammer, didn't try. that's why i didn't answer in the first place
[02:00] <IdleOne> !dvd | the_hammer
[02:00] <Pelo> the_hammer,   look better, quesitons are getting answered all the time
[02:00] <ubotu> the_hammer: 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
[02:00] <ndee> how can I convert a iso 8859-1 encoded file to utf-8?
[02:00] <the_hammer> i can burn a dvd+R but i cant play 1
[02:00] <Pelo> ndee, try looking it up in the forum
[02:00] <the_hammer> doesnt make any bloody sense
[02:00] <the_hammer> i have that btw
[02:01] <the_hammer> i have all the libdvd and also the win32codes and all that jazz
[02:01] <Pelo> the_hammer, check the forum
[02:02] <__mikem> Did you know that in old english, the word "bloody" was a bad word that was as reviled as the "f" word is today
[02:02] <ircusr> hi all
[02:02] <the_hammer> when i say play i dont mean movie dvds im talking any dvd+R period
[02:02] <Pelo> __mikem,  profanities are a very cultural thing
[02:02] <Pelo> the_hammer,  data dvd ?
[02:03] <GNUro> Ho i can know my kernel configuration?
[02:03] <the_hammer> anything ya
[02:03] <the_hammer> no dvd+R will read
[02:03] <the_hammer> its pissing me off i can burn them but cant read them
[02:03] <pappy> youse guys are way over my head..I'm still trying to learn how to turn my pc on
[02:03] <Pelo> the_hammer,  do they mount ?
[02:03] <the_hammer> nope
[02:03] <the_hammer> -R does tho
[02:03] <Pelo> the_hammer,  have you tried to mount them manualy ?
[02:03] <sebas_> the_hammer: have you tried reading in other pcs?
[02:03] <the_hammer> how do u do that?
[02:04] <jTr0n> alot of burners have trouble with alot of +R media
[02:04] <barbarella_me> ndee:apt-get install convmv
[02:04] <usser_> is there thunderbird 2 deb?
[02:04] <Pelo> the_hammer,   sudo mount /dev/cdrom ( or whatever the dev add is)  /media/mountpoint
[02:04] <makuseru> is there a ubuntu program to make audio_ts and video_ts files to burn a video dvd form a video file?
[02:04] <ndee> barbarella_me, I got it working it iconv
[02:04] <ndee> thx though
[02:04] <Pelo> the_hammer,  make a mount point first   sudo mkdir /media/mountpoint
[02:04] <jTr0n> it's the lesser of the two R's in my opinion.  i've seen more failed +R's then -R's.  the difference between the two aludes me though
[02:05] <Pelo> makuseru,   devede
[02:05] <the_hammer> i wanna mount to Desktop
[02:05] <the_hammer> sudo mkdir /media/mountpoint/home my name /Desktop then right?

[02:06] <Pelo> yimmmmy,  grub is the boot menu,  yes you need it
[02:06] <barbarella_me> ndee:so what is the problem?
[02:06] <yimmmmy> ok what do i do with it
[02:06] <yimmmmy> burn it to a cd
[02:06] <yimmmmy> ?
[02:06] <the_hammer> i can burn +r no probs at all with k3b
[02:06] <dyrne> Jeaners: /msg ubotu fixres
[02:06] <Pelo> Jeaners,   sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf   add the resolutiosn you need manualy
[02:06] <the_hammer> i just cant read data or anything at all thats +R
[02:06] <afief> yimmmmy, it is installed when you install ubuntu
[02:06] <the_hammer> makes no sense
[02:06] <Jeaners> Thanks!

[02:22] <crimsun__> rbennitt: 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.
[02:22] <iMacThere4iAm> IdleOne: Fiesty
[02:23] <redcard> Nerger: In linux: md5sum nameofcd.iso
[02:23] <IdleOne> iMacThere4iAm, seems it isnt ported to powerpc
[02:23] <praxx> jere, eeh. That is a very tough question to answer
[02:23] <jere> i think krylon is best for tagging
[02:23] <redcard> Nerger: Though, Ubuntu can do self checks
[02:23] <Nergar> redcard, how?
[02:23] <Sunbow> -iMacThere4iAm: ubuntu feisty is only for this machines types: x86, amd64 and Spark for ubuntu server
[02:23] <redcard> Nergar: On the Ubuntu CD?
[02:23] <rbennitt> no startup sound
[02:23] <praxx> how abt easy-tag , bansee etc
[02:23] <Nergar> redcard, no, another cd
[02:23] <iMacThere4iAm> IdleOne, Sunbow: but I'm running it right now on my PPC
[02:24] <the_hammer> http://pastebin.ca/481822
[02:24] <jere> !662/761Gx
[02:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about 662/761gx - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:24] <iMacThere4iAm> IdleOne, Sunbow: Booting from the livecd though
[02:24] <Sunbow> -iMacThere4iAm: but what version of ubuntu do you have now?
[02:24] <Nergar> redcard, i want to see if the cd i burned has the same md5sum of the .iso
[02:24] <IdleOne> iMacThere4iAm, then read the wiki page ubotu gave you and see if you can get it installed. should be pretty simple
[02:24] <redcard> Nergar: Oh.  I don't know if you can.
[02:24] <the_hammer> http://pastebin.ca/481822   <afief>
[02:24] <Bradf0rd> Does anyone here know anything about LAPACK?
[02:25] <iMacThere4iAm> Sunbow: This is Fiesty
[02:25] <iMacThere4iAm> IdleOne: I will
[02:25] <Nergar> :(
[02:25] <Bradf0rd> I'd like to know if there's a version of LAPACK that I can run in Linux
[02:25] <Sunbow> -iMacThere4iAm: and what version do you have installed?
[02:25] <redcard> Nergar: Hmm.. I just tried md5sum /dev/cdrom
[02:25] <redcard> That MIGHT work
[02:25] <iMacThere4iAm> Sunbow: Fiesty
[02:25] <crimsun__> Bradf0rd: apt-cache search lapack
[02:26] <Sunbow> ubuntu 7.04 amd64 iso, ubuntu 7.04 386,iso?
[02:26] <bruenig> redcard, /dev/cdrom is not the name of the drive nor mount point
[02:26] <bruenig> Nergar, you could try to copy the iso off of it and then md5sum it but I don't know if the md5sum would change if it was burned or not
[02:26] <redcard> bruenig: I know that.
[02:26] <mayorbuttes> Hey guys, let's say hypothetically I set up a website using Ubuntu Server and LAMP. Now I want to get a .com name... do I HAVE to register with a DNS, or is there any free alternative to this?
[02:26] <redcard> bruenig: But this worked awhile ago..
[02:26] <Nergar> thnx for the suggestions redcard, bruenig
[02:26] <iMacThere4iAm> Sunbow: No,  7.04 PPC
[02:26] <kovrt> exit
[02:26] <redcard> bruenig: So I'm seeing if it works now :)
[02:26] <bruenig> Nergar, as in do "dd if=/dev/whatever of=name.iso && md5sum name.iso"
[02:27] <Feldegast> iMacThere4iAm are you using grub?
[02:27] <skinnypuppy1334> I'm running a piece of trial software on windows that won't save files, it's in a virtual machine, is there anyway to retreive the contents of this open file from the ram directly and save as a file?
[02:27] <the_hammer> lol where did my helper go
[02:27] <Sunbow> -iMacThere4iAm: can you put here the link where do you have downloaded that version?
[02:27] <redcard> mayorbuttes: You have to purchase a domain name from an ICANN approved vendor
[02:27] <IdleOne> mayorbuttes, if yopu have a static ip addy and your isp doesnt mind you hosting a website from your machine you can point your .com to your ip addy
[02:27] <iMacThere4iAm> Feldegast: no, I have the standard mac firmware bootloader now
[02:27] <iMacThere4iAm> Feldegast: i need to install yaboot i think
[02:27] <the_hammer> afief?
[02:27] <Nergar> nice, let me try bruenig
[02:27] <iMacThere4iAm> Sunbow: let me have a look if i can find it
[02:28] <Bradf0rd> crimsun__, Yeah, I know how to find it, but Lapack3 says it's a "binary incompatible upgrade for lapack"
[02:28] <Nergar> right now i'm trying md5sum /dev/cdrom
[02:28] <mayorbuttes> IdleOne: thanks, but was asking possibly ways of acquiring said .com
[02:28] <Sunbow> ok iMacThere4iAm thanks
[02:28] <Nergar> and i think its working
[02:28] <sync0> Hey, anyone know how to switch from Kubuntu to Ubuntu?  I was running Ubuntu origionally, switched to Kubuntu about 5 or 6 months ago, and now I'm still technically using Kubuntu, but under session options i'm logging into Gnome.  How can I just use Ubuntu like I did origionally, (ie. so that at startup it says Ubuntu instead of Kubuntu; using the Ubuntu login instead of the Kubuntu login, etc.)
[02:28] <mayorbuttes> redcard: Thanks
[02:28] <redcard> Nergar: That MIGHT not work :)
[02:28] <redcard> Nergar: It worked many, many years back with slack..
[02:28] <Nergar> daniel@ubuntu-lap:~$ md5sum /dev/cdrom
[02:28] <Nergar> md5sum: /dev/cdrom: Input/output error
[02:28] <IdleOne> mayorbuttes, you can use any number of registrars
[02:28] <Nergar> D:
[02:28] <IdleOne> google
[02:28] <redcard> Hmm.. it gave me an md5sum :)
[02:28] <Bradf0rd> So that means I have to have the original lapack? and if so, what's binary incompatible mean?
[02:28] <the_hammer> someone pls help me heres pastebin http://pastebin.ca/481822
[02:29] <skinnypuppy1334> K or Ubuntu.. you can add one to the other in the package manager and choose which to boot at Xlogin
[02:29] <skinnypuppy1334> much easier than dual boot
[02:29] <Nergar> redcard, it didn't for me
[02:29] <durance84> Can anybody help me make my wireless card work in 7.04? I've tried every solution I could find online and none worked

[02:39] <carlos_> but I don't know if this can happen
[02:39] <sudo> is my nick as annoying as possible ?
[02:39] <sync0> sudo: this is what i tried last: sudo dpkg-reconfigure ubuntu-desktop

[02:40] <strabes> sudo oh you mean the bootsplash?
[02:40] <sudo> yeah
[02:40] <strabes> sudo: that's easy to fix. hold on let me look for the page
[02:40] <Nergar> sudo, your right, i did the same from xubuntu tu ubuntu

[02:43] <sync0> yay strabes that worked, thanks a bunch :)
[02:43] <sync0> i was scared that it wouldn't revert to ubuntu, then i'd be stuck without either lol
[02:43] <strabes> sync0: yeah you can have both (or all 3) installed at once
[02:44] <strabes> sync0: you might still have to choose the default login manager (kdm or gdm) i don't really know how to do that
[02:44] <strabes> maybe a dpkg-reconfigure kdm or something
[02:44] <sync0> ugh.. its still saying kubuntu while it boots :\

[02:47] <makuseru> is there any program that will let you create a DVD and make yuor own menus for them?
[02:47] <makuseru> self: pci or pci-e
[02:48] <self> PCI, not express
[02:48] <makuseru> no clue then

[02:48] <makuseru> look around tiger direct
[02:48] <self> I have a CRT right now that's burning the eyes out of me
[02:49] <makuseru> CRT > LCD

[02:49] <self> CRT is better?
[02:49] <self> O_O
[02:49] <usser_> selft: take a look at that one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814139012
[02:49] <makuseru> i think so
[02:49] <makuseru> no veiwing angle to deal with
[02:49] <makuseru> they last longer
[02:49] <self> Someone wack him :P
[02:49] <makuseru> and i think they look better than the stupid 150$ cheapo lcds
[02:50] <self> They also suck alot of power, and have a 15" viewable area

[02:51] <Nrbelex> Hi - I have my wireless card up and running. Using the network manager, I have previously used it to connect to a wireless network elsewhere on a corporate WPA system. However at home, I'm unable to connect to our standard WEP network with the correct hex key or any other nearby unsecured wireless networks. In the system monitor, I see spikes of sent data but 0 received bytes. The card is a...
[02:51] <Nrbelex> ...BCM43XX series and I used fwcutter to get it running properly.
[02:52] <sytimax> how do i add a nic to start at boot that doesnt have a ip adress associated to it?
[02:52] <makuseru> is there any program that will let you create a DVD and make yuor own menus for them?
[02:52] <redcard> Nrbelex: I recommend using the ndiswrapper
[02:53] <HellenKjoerleber> hican i upgrade from breezy to dapper
[02:53] <self> I always heard LCDs were easier on the eyes
[02:53] <Nrbelex> redcard, why is that?
[02:53] <redcard> Nrbelex: I found slow performance and weird things with the fwcutter method.   There might be some other weirdness
[02:53] <makuseru> self: i dont think so
[02:54] <makuseru> are you listning to people who have brightness and contrast on 100?
[02:54] <makuseru> ha
[02:54] <jvai> dvdrip
[02:54] <HellenKjoerleber> gots it
[02:54] <HellenKjoerleber> cu
[02:54] <sync0> one other question, when I go to System->Administration->Login Window, it prompts for my pass, i put it in, then nothing happens.  Anything I can do about this?
[02:54] <jvai> makuseru, dvdrip
[02:54] <Nergar> redcard, same error
[02:54] <sudo> what are you talking about, LCDs dont flickr like CRTs, they are almost always easier on the eyes
[02:54] <Nergar> :(
[02:55] <Nergar> i'm going to try and burn it again
[02:55] <yimmmmy> i neeed help installing grub i dont know what it dose
[02:55] <redcard> Nergar: Good luck
[02:55] <Nergar> lol
[02:55] <Nrbelex> redcard, to use ndiswrapper, I first need to uninstall the fwcutter package, correct?
[02:55] <redcard> Nergar: Mebbe burn at a slower speed
[02:55] <noname1> Kart Rider!
[02:55] <redcard> Nrbelex: Yeah..
[02:55] <Nrbelex> thanks
[02:55] <Nergar> ok, redcard
[02:56] <redcard> Nrbelex: There might be something on the wiki
[02:56] <yimmmmy> dose any one know
[02:56] <makuseru> my crt is from 1998 and it is very easy on the eyes, and a doubt a LCD that old would still perform the same as when it was bought
[02:56] <redcard> Nrbelex: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
[02:56] <CorpseFeeder> Hi.. a java app is asking me for the location of the browser to use to open URLs.. what do I tell it? I want to use firefox to open the URL.
[02:56] <Nrbelex> redcard, thanks, I was looking for that
[02:56] <yimmmmy> i neeed help installing grub i dont know what it dose
[02:57] <strabes> CorpseFeeder: /usr/bin/firefox is the location of the executable
[02:57] <yimmmmy> i neeed help installing grub i dont know what it dose
[02:57] <xSUSHix> if you dont know what grub does then why do you know you need it ?
[02:57] <sudo> makuseru: that's because you are 9 years older and are going blind
[02:57] <redcard> Nrbelex: If you have a 4318, the automated thing is what I used
[02:57] <yimmmmy> i want to install linux
[02:57] <strabes> yimmmmy: don't repeat your question so quickly. here's a howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[02:58] <strabes> yimmmmy: the ubuntu install CD installs GRUB automatically
[02:58] <xSUSHix> yimmmmy grub is automatically installed when you install ubuntu
[02:58] <makuseru> sudo: no, not hardly
[02:58] <CorpseFeeder> strabes: thanks, that was it.
[02:58] <Nrbelex> redcard, negative, I have a 4303
[02:58] <redcard> Nrbelex: Hmm
[02:59] <redcard> pretty much the same instructions will work, though
[02:59] <yimmmmy> i just installed ubutu and i got error loading os
[02:59] <yimmmmy> do i have to install grub before installing ubutnut
[03:00] <Kyral_Laptop> it will do it for you as part of the install process
[03:00] <yimmmmy> i dint
[03:00] <sync0> you don't really have to worry about grub at all
[03:00] <yimmmmy> well i got a error loading os
[03:00] <sync0> did you install it properly?
[03:00] <strabes> yimmmmy: do you have an ATI card?
[03:01] <yimmmmy> yes
[03:01] <strabes> great. does somebody want to walk yimmmmy through the process of fixing the feisty bug with ATI cards? I'm busy ATM.
[03:01] <xSUSHix> 'error loading os' is a first stage boot error - has nothing to do with the video
[03:01] <foug> does anyone use rhytmbox for their ipod?
[03:01] <strabes> xSUSHix: he didn't say when the error occured
[03:01] <yimmmmy> :{"""i just want my pc working again
[03:02] <strabes> foug: rhythmbox doesn't sync ipods AFAIK. use gtkpod or yamipod or amarok
[03:02] <Nrbelex> redcard, is that script specific to the 4318?
[03:02] <yimmmmy> when i restarted after the instalinaion
[03:02] <xSUSHix> strabes if the error is "error loading os"   then that is where the error occurs
[03:02] <redcard> Nrbelex: I think the script is.. but the wiki page is generic
[03:02] <foug> strabes: i tried gtkpod but it wouldn't sync, i'll try yamipod
[03:02] <strabes> xSUSHix: let him explain
[03:02] <Nrbelex> redcard, ok
[03:02] <redcard> foug: Was it formatted on a mac?
[03:02] <yimmmmy> what should i explain
[03:02] <foug> redcard: nope
[03:03] <foug> redcard: it's a directory issue i have
[03:03] <strabes> yimmmmy: what was the exact error that you got, and when did it occur?
[03:03] <xSUSHix> yimmmmy when you turn on the comoputer - what and where is the error
[03:03] <strabes> xSUSHix: you got this? i'm busy
[03:03] <xSUSHix> yimmmmy re-install ubuntu
[03:03] <yimmmmy> it says errror loading os boot from cd
[03:03] <yimmmmy> i did like 4 times now
[03:03] <xSUSHix> you can not boot from cdrom?
[03:03] <yimmmmy> yes
[03:03] <StarScream> hi guys, i did the edgy-feisty update via the gui tool
[03:03] <yimmmmy> no
[03:04] <yimmmmy> i can boot from the cd
[03:04] <StarScream> and it seems to have worked
[03:04] <redcard> StarScream: *grins* but...
[03:04] <yimmmmy> the istalion worked fine no errors
[03:04] <StarScream> but things like openssh isn't there and  i checked my apt sources still have edgy in them
[03:04] <StarScream> surely this isn't correct?
[03:04] <makuseru> how can i edit ogm videos? be able to set the defualt audio and subtitle track?
[03:04] <HJacksonT> I see there are people here
[03:05] <iMacThere4iAm> Sunbow: no luck i'm afraid
[03:05] <Nobstompa> Hi, i have a question about GRUB, how would i change it so that Windows default boots instead of ubuntu (damn windows and its relativity)
[03:05] <nekyinboots> I am a people Hi room
[03:05] <dinkle> can anyone help me figure out a way to work around adding a start up program? system -> preferences -> sessions does not work.
[03:05] <xSUSHix> yimmmmy ubuntu is your only operating system ?
[03:05] <redcard> StarScream: Hmm.. no.. it's not.  edit /etc/apt/sources.list, and replace all instances of Edgy with Feisty.   Then, run apt-get update  ; apt-get dist-upgrade  (I think.. someone double check me please)
[03:05] <yimmmmy> i t is now
[03:05] <Sunbow> -iMacThere4iAm: why?
[03:05] <i-am> i think that ubuntu is not for laptop pcs ://///////////////////
[03:05] <yimmmmy> my windows got wiped in the first install
[03:05] <iMacThere4iAm> it boots straight into OSX
[03:06] <StarScream> redcard: yeh i can't as it wasn't me  that did the update physically. it was my parents. I can't ssh in to do this
[03:06] <iMacThere4iAm> there is no sign of yaboot giving me a choice
[03:06] <StarScream> i managed to get my mum to copy paste some commans
[03:06] <makuseru> i-am: its fine on mine
[03:06] <StarScream> to let me view the sources
[03:06] <StarScream> but i don't fancy my chances getting her through vim
[03:06] <nekyinboots> Ubuntu running great here
[03:06] <HJacksonT> can I get somebody to give me a hand for a second?
[03:06] <redcard> StarScream: Okay.  Hmm.  They should be able to still do apt-get install openssh-server
[03:06] <dinkle> can anyone help me figure out a way to work around adding a start up program? system -> preferences -> sessions does not work.
[03:07] <rbil> Nobstompa: stanzas in Grub start counting from 0, so default=0 will launch first stanza. Count down to Windows and set default to that number.
[03:07] <i-am> makuseru: well, i cannot start the installation cd... i just get a blank screen :/
[03:07] <StarScream> redcard: no coz they are running feisty
[03:07] <HJacksonT> this will take like maybe 30 seconds
[03:07] <makuseru> how much ram ya got?
[03:07] <Nobstompa> ok
[03:07] <StarScream> redcard: it complains. the update doesn't seem  to have changed the sources
[03:07] <Nobstompa> ill try that
[03:07] <dinkle> anyone?
[03:07] <xSUSHix> yimmmmy boot from cd - open terminal - type grub - enter root (hd0,0) - then setup (hd0)
[03:07] <xSUSHix> quit and reboot
[03:07] <redcard> StarScream: Okay.. so.. can it be changed by hand?
[03:07] <makuseru> i-am: how much ram?
[03:07] <yimmmmy> what will that do
[03:07] <iMacThere4iAm> Sunbow: would it help if i showed you my yaboot.conf file?
[03:08] <dinkle> can i add a start up program from the terminal?
[03:08] <StarScream> redcard: hmm no i guess i'm just going to have to go visit
[03:08] <yimmmmy> how do u open terminal
[03:08] <xSUSHix> yimmmmy - so grub, root (hd0,0), setup (hd0)
[03:08] <xSUSHix> that will install grub on the first hard disk on the first partition assuming thats where u installed ubuntu
[03:08] <nekyinboots> Q: how do you or do you need to defrag drives in Ubuntu
[03:08] <Sunbow> -iMacThere4iAm: im not an expert
[03:08] <xSUSHix> yimmmmy - terminal is in accessories
[03:08] <StarScream> yimmmmy: you got to IRC but you don't know how to find the terminal ?
[03:08] <redcard> StarScream: Sounds like it.. sorry :P  I personally installed from scratch after having too many non-standard repositories in place
[03:08] <iMacThere4iAm> Sunbow: know anyone who is?
[03:08] <yimmmmy> im on my lappy

[03:10] <Biggieb> how do i use a usb hard disk in ubuntu ?
[03:10] <Sunbow> -iMacThere4iAm: how goes ubuntu in ppc?
[03:10] <xSUSHix> yimmmmy that is not all it said was it

[03:10] <yimmmmy> partion tabel error
[03:10] <iMacThere4iAm> Sunbow: it runls beautifully, but atm i can still only boot from the cd
[03:10] <a5benwillis> mikedep334: /home/'user'/.trash
[03:11] <mikedep334> a5benwillis: ok, is there a user friendly way to access it too?
[03:11] <yimmmmy> thats afeter i installed ubuntu for the 4th time
[03:11] <xSUSHix> yimmmmy re-install ubuntu tell it to use the entire hard disk
[03:11] <a5benwillis> cd ~.trash
[03:11] <xSUSHix> oh
[03:11] <yimmmmy> ok
[03:11] <mikedep334> a5binwillis: good enough for me, thanks
[03:11] <a5benwillis> what command do I use to 'tail' a log file in real time?
[03:11] <Biggieb> how do i use a usb hard disk in ubuntu ?
[03:11] <Biggieb> i plug it but it wont let me write just read
[03:11] <xSUSHix> yimmmmy use the whole hard disk - and later if you need a partition for some reason you can resize it to be smaller
[03:12] <iMacThere4iAm> Sunbow: i might try installing edgy because that seems to get the yaboot settings right first time, then go over it with fiesty
[03:12] <yimmmmy> ok ill try it
[03:12] <Ademan_> !webcam
[03:12] <ubotu> Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras
[03:12] <Sunbow> -iMacThere4iAm: how many hard disks do you have?
[03:12] <yimmmmy> thank you
[03:12] <iMacThere4iAm> Sunbow: only one
[03:12] <iMacThere4iAm> Sunbow: and i don't want to reformat it because it has my main OS X install on it
[03:13] <Sunbow> -iMacThere4iAm: it can be a possibility go to edgy and then upgrade to feisty from there... but...
[03:13] <Biggieb> how do i change the permits to allow me to write in a usb ntfs drive ?
[03:13] <xSUSHix> !ntfs | biggieb
[03:13] <ubotu> biggieb: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[03:13] <xSUSHix> ntfs-config will do it biggieb
[03:14] <Biggieb> ok ill try
[03:14] <iMacThere4iAm> Sunbow: but?
[03:14] <xSUSHix> it uses ntfs3g
[03:14] <redcard> Oh.. side note.  ANyone know a program like Delicious Library for Linux?
[03:14] <rob__> how do i add a start up program?

[03:16] <xSUSHix> rob__ check the permissions on your sessions folder - i forget the filename but its a .directory   maybe in .grub

[03:20] <mneptok> yimmmmy: stop please
[03:20] <xSUSHix> nonbstompa - that is a problem with your bios recognizing your keyboard
[03:20] <Nobstompa> is there anyway i kan edit grub from ubuntu?
[03:20] <i-am> redcard what do You mean by "bad cdrom"?
[03:20] <xSUSHix> nobstompa - grub files are located in /boot/grub
[03:20] <IndyGunFreak> i-am: i believe you're endearing yourself to everyone here, you'll get help very quickly

[03:21] <ubotu> marshall: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus cd burner (Gnome), gtoaster, xcdroast, cdrecord (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto

[03:21] <Nobstompa> kuz i can choose like boot devices etc
[03:22] <redcard> i-am: Well, what you're describing is the Live CD not booting, correct?
[03:22] <Trigz_> !no screens found
[03:22] <carbanm> is ther e away i can just reinstall ubuntu and keep my file system in tact otherwise?
[03:22] <Nobstompa> before i come into grub, then BAM my keyboard kinda just stops then comes back
[03:22] <marshall> cables: which one is the best?
[03:22] <iMacThere4iAm> Sunbow: ok
[03:22] <Trigz_> ffs.. dumb bot :(
[03:22] <mneptok> Nobstompa: USB keyboard on a Dell?
[03:22] <cables> marshall, are you on Windows or Linux?
[03:22] <marshall> cableroy: for gnome on ubuntu linux
[03:22] <redcard> i-am: Only suggestion I have is to check your bios, make sure nothing weird is in there, and then if it still doesn't work attempt an install from the alternate CD
[03:22] <Nobstompa> no
[03:22] <Ademan_> anyone know an easy way to test if your webcam is working?
[03:22] <xSUSHix> rob__ this is a common error - i got it in dapper - it worked after i made a new user account =\ u sure the forum didnt have a solution?   i thought it was a permissions error
[03:22] <i-am> redcard it is booting...to the main screen where can i start or install ubuntu, start ubuntu in safe graphic mode etc etc...when i start ubuntu by boot: live i get the error
[03:22] <mneptok> Nobstompa: USB or PS/2?
[03:22] <marshall> cables: for gnome on ubuntu linux
[03:23] <Trigz_> ANYONE (yay capitals mean people read lol) help me with a error im getting on startup? x server fails and gives me the error "No screens found"
[03:23] <Sunbow> -iMacThere4iAm: exactly here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/PowerPC
[03:23] <cables> marshall, you can just right click on the ISO and click Write to Disc
[03:23] <i-am> redcard alternate cd? is it worst version??
[03:23] <redcard> i-am: Hmm.  And you did the "Check the CD for Defects" thing?
[03:23] <Ademan_> Trigz_: did you screw around with your xorg.conf?
[03:23] <Nobstompa> i have a custom built, i tried my RAZER tarantula, an old USB HP keyboard, a Z-BOard, anda  a logitech wireless
[03:23] <i-am> redcard i did
[03:23] <Nobstompa> all usb
[03:23] <Trigz_> Ademan_ no.. the last thing i done was open WoW via cedega :(
[03:23] <mneptok> Trigz_: capitals also really annoy the bejebus out of people. like me. :)
[03:23] <Nobstompa> i cant find a non usb keyboard
[03:23] <rob__> ok i'll try making another user
[03:23] <cables> i-am, it's not any worse than the other CD,  it just doesn't have a graphical installer.
[03:23] <redcard> i-am: Hmm.  Did you try safe-mode?
[03:23] <Trigz_> mneptok sorry <3
[03:23] <marshall> cables: i have a cd in the drive that i want to make into a .iso and save to a usb key
[03:23] <rob__> someone said they found a work around but i dont know what it is..
[03:23] <cables> marshall, ohh, ok
[03:24] <Trigz_> Ademan_ then i maximized the window.. and BAM.... monitor shut off, so i rebooted.
[03:24] <mneptok> Nobstompa: got a wall-powered USB hub?
[03:24] <i-am> redcard it is only safe mode for graphic - same error
[03:24] <cables> marshall, if you want to take a CD and make an ISO image, right click the CD, click Copy, and select File Image under Destination Device
[03:24] <mneptok> Nobstompa: it could be that the BIOS is underpowering the USB bus.
[03:24] <Trigz_> a
[03:24] <xSUSHix> Trigz_ ati or nvidia drivers arent correct - edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and change driver to either ati or nv or nvidia  (towards the end of the file under driver)
[03:24] <redcard> i-am: Okay.. well, then I would use the Alternate CD to install
[03:24] <Trigz_> xSUSHix i'd just updated to envy (someone told me they were the best
[03:24] <i-am> redcard or maybe provide me with a good link of ubuntu 7.04 and a good way to burn it.... but i have like 4 copies already
[03:25] <IndyGunFreak> i-am: 4 copies?... have ou gotten it to boot?
[03:25] <redcard> i-am: If you have verified it via the Check for Defects, it's a good CD
[03:25] <mneptok> i-am: use a torrent download. md5sum the .iso. and burn at the slowest speed possible.
[03:25] <xSUSHix> trigz_ apparently ur card doesnt like it - change back
[03:25] <iMacThere4iAm> Sunbow: I think I am going to install edgy and upgrade
[03:25] <xSUSHix> trigz_ you probably have a backup of your xorg.conf file - use it
[03:25] <marshall> cables: thanks, i figured there would be something in ubuntu that could do this seeing as its great and all
[03:25] <redcard> I would follow mneptok's suggestion.
[03:25] <mneptok> i-am: http://montreal.canonical.com/torrents
[03:25] <IndyGunFreak> Paddy_EIRE: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2612593
[03:25] <IndyGunFreak> that might help
[03:25] <iMacThere4iAm> Sunbow: it seems likely to work
[03:25] <Ademan_> Trigz_: envy has literally RUINED at least 5 computers i know of including mine
[03:25] <i-am> mneptok x4 is ok? i have them allready... 2 versions of 6.12 and 2 of 7.04
[03:25] <redcard> And then failing that, use the Alternate CD
[03:25] <cables> marshall, and there is :)
[03:25] <Sunbow> -iMacThere4iAm: why?
[03:25] <i-am> all are for amd processors

[03:26] <mneptok> i-am: 4x should be fine. md5sum your ISOs.
[03:26] <ToeNad> I updated my laptop and now I have this wmaster0 as well as an eth1 for my wireless card
[03:26] <xSUSHix> rob__ makind a new user worked?
[03:26] <iMacThere4iAm> Sunbow: because last time I installed that, it got yaboot working without any difficulty
[03:26] <Paddy_EIRE> IndyGunFreak, checkin it out now
[03:26] <redcard> i-am: A thought might be to go back to LTS and upgrade forward.
[03:26] <Sunbow> -iMacThere4iAm: ok, its your choice
[03:26] <mneptok> ToeNad: expected. don't worry about it.
[03:26] <ToeNad> and for the life of me I cannot get either one to connect to the network, any ideas?
[03:26] <Sunbow> ok
[03:26] <i-am> i tried even ubuntu 5 ;p
[03:26] <Trigz_> xSUSHix - Edited, working, Thanks! :)
[03:26] <ToeNad> mneptok: expected, in which way?
[03:27] <redcard> i-am: Did you do the RAM check?
[03:27] <ToeNad> mneptok: as in ignore wmaster0?
[03:27] <xSUSHix> yay me: 3
[03:27] <Trigz_> Yay you! :P
[03:27] <i-am> redcard and you know how many options are in laptop bios? almoast none
[03:27] <mneptok> ToeNad: it's expected that you'll get >1 entry for a wireless device in /etc/networking/interfaces
[03:27] <xSUSHix> =] 
[03:27] <Sunbow> -iMacThere4iAm: im going, bye, good luck
[03:27] <Trigz_> I was gonna do that.. but my way was the nooby way around asking how to get to xorg.conf (I forgot the path to it.. /etc/X11/xorg.conf) :P
[03:27] <i-am> redcard yes, with memcheck.... 18h without errors
[03:27] <luisgmarine> Hello guys, I want to upgrade to Ubuntu x86_64, but I have close to about 40 GB worth of music and videos, is there any to upgrade without loosing all that awesome music I have?
[03:27] <ToeNad> mneptok: so I can effectively get rid of one when troubleshooting my issue right?
[03:28] <mneptok> ToeNad: no. they both need to be there.
[03:28] <Gerro> luisgmarine: yep you can
[03:28] <usser_> luisgmarine: do u have an extra harddrive?
[03:28] <Trigz_> Grr wtf! It wont let me use a res any higher than 800x600? What a gay thingymabob :(
[03:28] <mneptok> ToeNad: did you edit /etc/networking/interfaces by hand?
[03:28] <ToeNad> mneptok: nope
[03:28] <mneptok> Trigz_: "gay" as a pejorative is lame.
[03:28] <Gerro> luisgmarine: what file system is that 40gb on?
[03:28] <ToeNad> just via the kde network config tools
[03:28] <luisgmarine> No I don't have an extra hdd, and Gerro how on earth is that possible?
[03:28] <xSUSHix> trigz_ now u have to install the opensource drivers for ur card - ati or nvidia ?
[03:28] <luisgmarine> well its all under one hdd
[03:28] <luisgmarine> and its ext3
[03:29] <Trigz_> mneptok I belive it's 100% fine for me to say it, since i'm a homosexual :).
[03:29] <Trigz_> xSUSHix, nvidia.
[03:29] <xSUSHix> !nvidia | trigz_
[03:29] <ubotu> trigz_: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:29] <Gerro> luisgmarine: try to resize the ext3 file system and create two partitions one with music and one without
[03:29] <ToeNad> mneptok: shoud I be doing more web searches instead of asking you?
[03:29] <mneptok> Trigz_: not if you want the str8s to stop using it.
[03:29] <Gerro> luisgmarine: then make ubuntu on one and leave music on other
[03:29] <Trigz_> mneptok: That's never going to happen, you know that as-well as i.
[03:29] <xSUSHix> trigz_ what works for me is - apt-get install nvidia-glx    then do nvidia-glx-config
[03:29] <IndyGunFreak> Paddy_EIRE: following those instructions worked for me, i've  been rying to figure out divx forever
[03:29] <usser_> cool it with gay guys
[03:29] <mneptok> Trigz_: well. it will happen in here. :)
[03:29] <ToeNad> mneptok: perhaps so, annoying to have a good thing going, then upgrade and have it be utterly different though
[03:29] <Trigz_> mneptok - yay :)
[03:30] <luisgmarine> Gerro, lmao, I didn't know how that is possible, you mind helping me set that up?  Or point me to a guide on how to do all the required steps?
[03:30] <jTr0n> gparted

[03:30] <i-am> redcard i have no idea what to do...i am downloading alternative 7.04
[03:31] <interfear> I made a seperate partition for music/movies and mounted it on "/blank" , I was the directory to be read/write for users, ch mod 666 ?
[03:31] <_MMA_> Hi all. Ubuntu Studio 7.04 has been released. http://ubuntustudio.org
[03:31] <Paddy_EIRE> IndyGunFreak, was startin to thin something was wrong with my new laptop as I have not had these problems with ubuntu in the past
[03:31] <Trigz_> xSUSHix - "nvidia-glx is already the newest version"
[03:31] <mneptok> i-am: are you using Windows?
[03:31] <jTr0n> its easy.  you resize your root ext3 partition, so that there is 40gb free.  turn the freespace into a new partition.  exit gparted and copy music to new partition
[03:31] <Trigz_> mneptok - ghey is more e-thuggish :(
[03:31] <strabes> i'm an e-thug
[03:31] <i-am> mneptok Yes
[03:31] <IndyGunFreak> Paddy_EIRE: did you get it to work?...
[03:31] <luisgmarine> jTr0n, i can edit my current partition even though its mounted and I"m using it?
[03:31] <mneptok> Trigz_: yeah. it makes us feel "tough" and "scary." like an attack hamster.
[03:31] <Trigz_> omg :(
[03:32] <Trigz_> Not an attack hampster!!
[03:32] <IndyGunFreak> Paddy_EIRE: i've never gotten divx to work before, so i'm glad glad that worked.
[03:32] <Paddy_EIRE> IndyGunFreak, checkin my mozilla directory now
[03:32] <i-am> mneptok i have preinstalled vista...but i want to get rid off it this week
[03:32] <mneptok> i-am: lemme find you a Windows md5 tool
[03:32] <jTr0n> good point.  get the gparted live cd
[03:32] <i-am> mneptok i have md5tool allready
[03:32] <mneptok> jTr0n: got gparted installed?
[03:32] <Trigz_> omg :( strabes is a true e-thug!
[03:32] <i-am> now i download alternative 7.04
[03:32] <xSUSHix> trigz_ sudo nvidia-glx-config
[03:32] <redcard> i-am: I would also download knoppix or similar to give it a run to see if it can pick your cards out
[03:33] <mneptok> i-am: use the md5 tool to checksum one of the Feisty images you have.
[03:33] <luisgmarine> would I not have to add the new music partition to my fattab or w/e its called?
[03:33] <NemesisD> hi guys, is there a way from console to do a find/replace on multiple files with like grep or something?
[03:33] <Trigz_> xSUSHix done that ;o
[03:33] <luisgmarine> and once I install x86_64, is it possible to merge those two partitions back together
[03:33] <mneptok> jTr0n: do you have gparted installed?
[03:33] <i-am> ok, i will try with knoppix also
[03:33] <Gerro> how can I restrict the size of a directory?
[03:33] <tin_nqn> hello people. I need mount /dev/hdc1 (ext3 format) into a dir.... I've edited fstab and the partition is mounted, but in read-only mode. How can I mount it writable? Here my fstab http://rafb.net/p/Aj6Ciq38.html
[03:33] <Trigz_> xSUSHix - /usr/sbin/nvidia-glx-config called with unknown command:
[03:34] <mneptok> Trigz_: what are you trying to do?
[03:34] <jTr0n> mneptok:  no i just installed this system.  ubuntu doesn't have gparted by defualt.   its on the live cd though
[03:34] <Trigz_> mneptok - Make my desktop res higher than 800x600 :(
[03:34] <mneptok> jTr0n: oh, i was gonna show you a fun easter egg :)
[03:34] <Trigz_> mneptok - Then find a good nvidia driver so i can play games like a pro :P
[03:34] <mneptok> Trigz_: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:35] <xSUSHix> trigz_ oops i meant sudo nvidia-glx-config enable
[03:35] <Nobstomp1> hey what was the terminal line run /boot/grub/menu.lst so i could change the default OS booted?
[03:35] <Trigz_> xSUSHix - done that :P
[03:35] <jTr0n> i'm definatly keeping my windows partition.  all the games I have won't run online mode in linux and thats so useless
[03:35] <jTr0n> except for oblivion
[03:35] <Trigz_> mneptok - Which driver? there's a great list to choose from lol :P
[03:36] <mneptok> Trigz_: use "nv" for now
[03:36] <yimmmmy> holy s
[03:36] <Nobstomp1> Jtron: have u tried using wine? i am running World of warcraft and abuncha steam games off it
[03:36] <jTr0n> mneptok:  Trigz_ wants acceleraction
[03:36] <yimmmmy> holy s$@#   pation tabel invaild or cruppted
[03:36] <jTr0n> action??
[03:36] <jTr0n> lol
[03:36] <mneptok> jTr0n: let's get the resolution dose first
[03:36] <jTr0n> tru
[03:36] <mneptok> *done
[03:37] <Nobstomp1> hey how would i change the default OS booted from GRUB while in the ubuntu OS?
[03:37] <Jordan_U> yimmmmy, Don't panic :) Where are you getting that error?
[03:37] <jTr0n> nobstomp - steam would be nice yes... i have wine but it won't install for me
[03:37] <nicholas76> I need a reason why ubuntu is beter than Windows. I MUST convince my parents to switch to ubuntu!
[03:37] <Trigz_> xSUSHix - done that :P
[03:37] <yimmmmy> partion error invaild or croupted
[03:37] <yimmmmy> oh my god
[03:37] <Trigz_> nicholas76 - because its linux.
[03:37] <yimmmmy> im painicing
[03:37] <mneptok> OYG!
[03:37] <Jordan_U> nicholas76, #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:38] <Jordan_U> yimmmmy, where are you getting that error?
[03:38] <xSUSHix> yimmmmy - u might have to partition manually using the manual partition option - its pretty intuitive and you should be able to figure it out
[03:38] <Nobstomp1> Jtron: ya it was a bit of a hassle for me it took like a week of straight messing around, but i finally got it, so i recomend doing it on a vacation of some sort
[03:38] <yimmmmy> i dont @$$%@% understand what the problem is
[03:38] <xSUSHix> jordan_u after he installs ubuntu - thats the first stage boot error
[03:38] <yimmmmy> when i boooooy
[03:38] <strabes> nicholas76: that shouldn't be too hard to do
[03:38] <yimmmmy> boooot
[03:38] <jTr0n> i had the same thing
[03:38] <strabes> yimmmmy: maybe your hard drive is toasted
[03:38] <jTr0n> it was because my bios was auto detecting my drives
[03:38] <Ironman273> Could I get some help troubleshooting a network issue on my laptop?
[03:38] <blackgraz> has anyone ran an infobot before?
[03:38] <jTr0n> people like strabes told me the same thing
[03:38] <yimmmmy> no its goood it had windows on it
[03:39] <jTr0n> google had no information
[03:39] <variant> yimmmmy: you won't get any help unless you calm down and talk like an adult
[03:39] <Nobstomp1> Hey how would i change the default OS booted by GRUB, while inside the Ubuntu OS?!??!?!?!?!
[03:39] <Rigel> how can I view a list of currently running processes?
[03:39] <strabes> jTr0n: what did i tell you?
[03:39] <Rigel> from the terminal
[03:39] <jTr0n> finally poked at the bios.. turned off auto detection of my drives, and it booted fine
[03:39] <Trigz_> xSUSHix - what now?! :(
[03:39] <variant> Rigel: top or ps
[03:39] <Rigel> Thanks.
[03:39] <jTr0n> people like you told me that my drives were toasted
[03:39] <yimmmmy> im trying to calm down but ive been doing this all day
[03:39] <kitche> Nobstomp1: change the default in your menu.lst
[03:39] <yimmmmy> was you drive broken
[03:39] <jTr0n> nope
[03:39] <yimmmmy> what happend
[03:40] <yimmmmy> then
[03:40] <chael> Lion_Dart oi :}
[03:40] <jTr0n> bios configuration was just haggaring grub
[03:40] <Lion_Dart> (chael) hi
[03:40] <Boelcke> Help! The power-saving turn-off-the-monitor feature worked fine on 2 different desktops on breezy, but now won't work on Dapper.  Any pointers?
[03:40] <yimmmmy> how do i change that
[03:40] <variant> jTr0n: all advice taken from random people should be taken with a pinch of salt of course. you have no idea as to the experience of anyone that your talking to
[03:40] <Nobstomp1> Hey how would i change the default OS booted by GRUB, while inside the Ubuntu OS?!??!?!?!?! i know its                                       Sudo
[03:40] <yimmmmy> and what do i do after that
[03:40] <chael> Lion_Dart do u speak inglish?
[03:40] <Nobstomp1> Kitche: i know that what is the terminal command
[03:40] <variant> jTr0n: it's easy to sound like you know what your talking about.. thats my job :)
[03:40] <jTr0n> lol i know.  but to say the hardware is pooched is a cop out answer
[03:40] <kitche> Nobstomp1: you have to edit menu.lst
[03:40] <kitche> Nobstomp1: by opening it in gedit
[03:40] <yimmmmy> i just want this to work
[03:40] <Nobstomp1> its sude something /boot/grub/menu.lst
[03:41] <Nobstomp1> ty
[03:41] <variant> Nobstomp1: try asking without too much punctuation
[03:41] <clouder`grr> How can I show a duration column for a folder containing audio files?
[03:41] <strabes> Nobstomp1: There are a couple ways. just do a google for "change default OS grub"
[03:41] <xamox> is it possible to run OSX in a VM in ubuntu?
[03:41] <jTr0n> on a ppc
[03:41] <stmiller> qemu can emulate ppc but it's not pretty
[03:41] <xamox> jTr0n, not on a x86?
[03:41] <Jordan_U> yimmmmy, You can restore your default windows bootloader by running fixmbr ( or something like that ) a windows install CD, that should at least give you windows back
[03:41] <clouder`grr> xamox: you can try using PearPC
[03:41] <xSUSHix> trigz u follow the stuff ono the binary driver howto ?
[03:42] <xamox> shit, i just want to run safari for web dev stuff.
[03:42] <jTr0n> look into osx86.. tho it aint pretty either
[03:42] <jTr0n> and far from legal
[03:42] <srbaker> folks.
[03:42] <deltaphc> I think OS X's license prohibits running it in any kind of VM
[03:42] <srbaker> anyone know if dell has their ubuntu-loaded boxen ready yet?
[03:42] <srbaker> i can't find it on dell's website

[03:43] <Nobstomp1> Jtron: one thing u wanna do if u use wine to run steam and other games is copy your font folder from C:/Windows on your windows OS and migrate it to the folder into the Wine          /home/swiss73/.wine/drive_c/windows

[03:45] <srbaker> Jordan_U: oh, thanks, that'll be handy.  but i'm looking specifically for desktops with no os
[03:45] <jTr0n> don' tknow how i got that you had a dell
[03:45] <i-am> yimmmmy i cannot even start live on my HP :>
[03:45] <srbaker> Jordan_U: not laptop yet.
[03:45] <pheaver> If I am using repositories that "overlap" (different versions of the same package appear in each repo), is there a way to choose which one to install?
[03:45] <stmiller> anyone listen to the Linux Action Show? They gave some ubuntu love
[03:45] <Jordan_U> srbaker, They have desktops too
[03:45] <Trigz_> mneptok - STill the highest i can go is 800x600
[03:45] <yimmmmy> i have the live cd on my pc
[03:45] <yimmmmy> and it works
[03:46] <mneptok> Trigz_: did the reconfigure offer you other resolutions to enable?
[03:46] <srbaker> Jordan_U: yeah, i can't find them without an OS
[03:46] <srbaker> i'm sorta toying with the idea of getting a linux desktop instead of getting another mac
[03:46] <Pelo> pheaver, yes,  I beleive you can with a rightclick funcion
[03:46] <jTr0n> anyways, if you can get into your bios.. and change the ide auto detecting settings off.. you're more than likely to boot fine
[03:46] <Ironman273> WOuld anyone know why I can't get on the internet with my laptop?
[03:46] <srbaker> i was a linux user for 10 years, and then i bought a mac.
[03:46] <Trigz_> mneptok - Yea, i made sure they were checked :/
[03:46] <Pelo> Iron_Chef,  we need more info
[03:46] <pheaver> Pelo: what about from the command line?
[03:46] <mneptok> Trigz_: pastebin your xorg.conf
[03:46] <Jordan_U> srbaker, http://www.dell.com/content/products/features.aspx/nseries?c=us&cs=04&l=en&s=bsd&redirect=1
[03:47] <Ironman273> Well, it's a wireless PCMCIA card, it was working previously and now it's not.
[03:47] <Pelo> pheaver, well if the package name includes the version there woud not be a problem but other then that I donT' realy know
[03:47] <jTr0n> i've had to do it to build xbox harddrives for years now, but never had any problem loading grub with it on until i installed on this box
[03:47] <srbaker> Jordan_U: thanks
[03:47] <Trigz_> mneptok - ok
[03:47] <pheaver> package name does not include version, it's a conflict :)
[03:47] <Ironman273> It detects and connects to the network, the DNS is OK, but I can't get on the internet
[03:47] <pheaver> i think i figured it out though... i just have to carefully manipulate sources.lst
[03:47] <Pelo> Ironhand,  fiesty ?  start with using the restricted dirver option in admin see if your card is automaticaly supported
[03:47] <SurfnKid> how can i set the mouse wheel to scroll on any browser?

[03:49] <yimmmmy> no hp destop
[03:49] <Trigz_> mneptok - sent link in a /msg
[03:49] <rand> since Ubuntu has a small CD of packages during initial install, is there a way to install a lot of packages at once (without having to manually select each one) like you might get with a DVD distribution (where you select everything during initial install)?
[03:49] <i-am> yimmmmy ooo i have problems on laptop
[03:49] <yimmmmy> i am not putting it on my laptop
[03:49] <yimmmmy> i wnat it on my destop
[03:49] <__mikem> !repeat | rand
[03:50] <ubotu> rand: 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
[03:50] <Pelo> SurfnKid,  I beleive it's the same instructions for that function, if you don'T find it there I know there is a wheel mouse how to in the forum somewhere
[03:50] <CCmonster> whats a good text publishing program?
[03:50] <__mikem> AbiWord
[03:50] <rand> __mikem, first time I asked in this channel
[03:50] <CCmonster> like..similar to waht i would do in Adobe Illustrator or InDesign.
[03:50] <Gerro> rand: what was your question?
[03:50] <jTr0n> yimmmmy:  have you got into the bios yet?
[03:50] <SurfnKid> Pelo, ok ill consider it, have you tried it? im on firefox
[03:50] <Jordan_U> rand, You can use: sudo apt-get install <list of packages>
[03:50] <yimmmmy> would there be anything on my pc blocking this from installing
[03:50] <tin_nqn> hello people. I need mount /dev/hdc1 (ext3 format) into a dir.... I've edited fstab and the partition is mounted, but in read-only mode. How can I mount it writable? Here my fstab http://rafb.net/p/Aj6Ciq38.html
[03:50] <yimmmmy> yea im in my bios
[03:51] <cfbb> Hi, can someone help me with installing a USB wifi diver?
[03:51] <CCmonster> does ABiword save in file formats i could use on a windows machine later?
[03:51] <jTr0n> do you see anything about auto detect or auto settings ?
[03:51] <Jordan_U> cfbb, What chipset?
[03:51] <Pelo> rand,  there realy isn'T a point , you get a lot from the default install,  all the rest of the stuf is pretty speicalised,  you are better off selectign afterward,  if this is about a re-install you can make yourself a bash script with apt-get to isntall all the extra packages you need
[03:51] <sgtmattbake1> CCMonster: yes abiword is compatible with MS word doc formats
[03:51] <CCmonster> im looking for something more than a MS word,
[03:52] <kikr> hey do I need a monitor to install ubuntu?
[03:52] <CCmonster> something closer to a adobe illustrator or inDesign
[03:52] <cfbb> tl-wn321g
[03:52] <yimmmmy> no
[03:52] <Pelo> SurfnKid,  I know there is a howto for whele mouse because I search for instrctions for you marble FX ( I had no luck)  I know there are instrctions for FF but I realy donT' remember anything
[03:52] <Jordan_U> CCmonster, PDF?
[03:52] <CCmonster> sure,
[03:52] <CCmonster> have you ever used Adobe Illustrator?
[03:52] <CCmonster> or Adobe InDesign
[03:52] <Pelo> kikr,  it would be helpfull to see what you are doing
[03:52] <Jordan_U> CCmonster, Yes
[03:52] <yimmmmy> ok i just put a new hdd in it was my xboxs old hdd i wnat to put linux on it what do i do
[03:52] <CCmonster> something with those kind of features
[03:52] <kikr> Pelo, what about ssh?
[03:53] <Pelo> kikr,  if you are talking about a remote install I realy wouldn't know
[03:53] <Jordan_U> CCmonster, Depending on what exactly you want try Xara or inkscape
[03:53] <kikr> k
[03:53] <CCmonster> whats the diff/
[03:54] <cattellar> hello people
[03:54] <dthomasdigital> Hey How do you but the users to the side on xchat?
[03:54] <jTr0n> is it unlocked using your xbox eeprom key?
[03:54] <cattellar> I was wondering, If someone knew how to change the functions of the buttons in a mouse??
[03:54] <Jordan_U> CCmonster, Xara is much faster for very complex images but inkscape has better svg support and ( IMHO ) an easier interface.
[03:55] <CCmonster> im not messing with images
[03:55] <CCmonster> im messing with print quality text
[03:55] <CCmonster> and vector text manip
[03:55] <jTr0n> go for inkscape
[03:55] <Pelo> dthomasdigital,  it is probably hiden from just mouse over the right edge of the window and try dragging, or play around wth the options in display ( and I mean play)  it migth reset it
[03:55] <yimmmmy> im not sure dose it have to be unlocked
[03:55] <yimmmmy> ?/
[03:55] <spasticteapot> Inkscape is very nice.
[03:56] <spasticteapot> Very different from illustrator, though.
[03:56] <Pelo> cattellar,  that would be a xorg.conf edit,   search the forum for  mouse buttons,  you migth need to extrapolate from  instructions for many button mouse
[03:56] <jTr0n> yimmmmy:  if you just take an hd out of yoru xbox it is locked with a key unique to your xbox
[03:56] <spasticteapot> I've only used the latter a little bit - it does seem quite a bit more powerful, but for simple vector graphics, Inkscape can be quite useful.
[03:56] <Jordan_U> CCmonster, I would go with inkscape, but try xara also, it may be more like other commercial application that you are used to
[03:56] <yimmmmy> i have an unlocker dose it need to be unlocked
[03:56] <strabes> yimmmmy: you'd have to hard mod your xbox
[03:57] <jTr0n> no you don't
[03:57] <Pelo> later
[03:57] <strabes> yimmmmy: if youwanted to change the hard drive you would
[03:57] <jTr0n> no
[03:57] <strabes> really?
[03:57] <strabes> are there soft mods?
[03:57] <Gerro> really really :)
[03:57] <jTr0n> really.  i've done dozens on softmods
[03:57] <yimmmmy> i dont care about my xbx i got that ccoverd
[03:57] <strabes> oh sweet
[03:57] <strabes> is it free?
[03:57] <jTr0n> yea your drive is locked with a key in your xbox
[03:57] <yimmmmy> i just want to kno w if i need to unlock my hdd befor i put it in my pc
[03:57] <jTr0n> no you need supplies
[03:58] <strabes> jTr0n: oh bummer
[03:58] <jTr0n> a game, a save card with a save on it, and thats about it
[03:58] <jTr0n> offtopic tho
[03:58] <strabes> jTr0n: oh yeah
[03:58] <foug> where do i go to insteall yamipod?
[03:58] <Keroman> I could use a little help installing Ubuntu.  I'm a first time installer, but I know my way around computers, so I shouldn't need too much help hopefully.
[03:58] <jTr0n> yimmy - you can't unlock it with just some unlocker tool.  u need the xbox's unique key
[03:58] <IAmWill> i am having trouble with my SD card reader on my laptop, it can read the 128MB card, but the 2G card can't be read, both cards are same brand, just different sizes.... any ideas?
[03:58] <bruenig> Keroman, it is pretty much a point and click endeavor
[03:58] <dthomasdigital> I'm using Xchat and I can't get the users to show up listed on the side. Any ideas?
[03:58] <yimmmmy> i have it
[03:58] <yimmmmy> holy crap
[03:58] <yimmmmy> dose it need to be unlocked
[03:58] <Keroman> Yeah, except neither my desktop or my laptop will boot to the disc I've burnt the .iso file to.
[03:59] <yimmmmy> or not
[03:59] <bruenig> dthomasdigital, it is tucked in, you need to get near the edge and pull it in
[03:59] <jTr0n> that was the first thing i said i believe
[03:59] <rand> thanks Jordan_U and Pelo for your suggestions
[03:59] <yimmmmy> so yes
[03:59] <jTr0n> yes
[03:59] <dougie> I'm trying to format my usb thumb drive is there a command at the prompt that will do it?
[03:59] <Keroman> I've booted to discs before on both of them, and when I put the disc in while the computer's on it opens the DiscTree automatically.
[04:00] <yimmmmy> ok im going to try to put it on my small hdd can i put my big hdd in later and put stuff on it
[04:00] <strabes> dthomasdigital: i think the keyboard shortcut is CTRL+L or somoething
[04:00] <DJTrey> aright, im trying to install ubuntu on a compaq presario sr1020nx, but it keeps rebooting. here's someone else with the problem - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=145603

[04:00] <foug> strabes: how do i install yamipod? ,/configure isn't working when i navigate to the directory
[04:00] <Keroman> I'm thinking I might just have funky BIOS's, but like I said I've booted to CDs and DVDs before.
[04:00] <bruenig> foug, I assume you mean ./configure, is there a configure script in that directory?
[04:01] <foug> bruenig: nope
[04:01] <bruenig> foug, is there a README or INSTALL
[04:01] <foug> bruenig: yea it only tells me this program has no warranty
[04:01] <NickGarvey> I am trying to install tomcat on my apache2 server, but all jsp files simply show the source code of the html file, how can I avoid this?
[04:01] <bruenig> foug, when you ls, is there anything that shows up as green?
[04:02] <foug> bruenig: libfmodex.so.numbers here and YamiPod
[04:02] <bruenig> foug, run ./YamiPod
[04:02] <einar_> hallo
[04:02] <yimmmmy> walk me trough the install please

[04:03] <dougie> I'm trying to format my usb thumb drive is there a command at the prompt that will do it?
[04:03] <foug> bruenig: along with an error about not copying the lib to usr/lib and i'l haveno audio which is fine. I just need to put songs onto my ipod
[04:03] <spasticteapot> dthomasdigital: Click the View tab at the top, select Userlist.
[04:04] <einar_> i can not install real player on ubundo
[04:04] <bruenig> foug, do you have a link to this package?
[04:04] <zerosan> I've got the following question: I shrinked my NTFS Windows Partition at the installation of Ubuntu, that went totally well because I defragemented the partition. How can I do that inside a running Ubuntu System?
[04:04] <Jchord> 
[04:04] <yimmmmy> i hate this stuff
[04:04] <bruenig> zerosan, you can use gparted, sudo apt-get install gparted
[04:04] <foug> bruenig: http://www.yamipod.com/main/modules/downloads/
[04:04] <anandanbu> does anyone know how can i install counterstrike in ubuntu 7.04
[04:05] <cjae> does the cubestorm screensaver freak out with anybody else
[04:05] <foug> bruenig: ok, i tried to put songs onto my ipod in rhythmbox and they are not there, but it lists them
[04:05] <dougie> ananadanbu, use wine
[04:05] <foug> bruenig: now i open yamipod and it says the songs are there on my ipod but they aren't when i liten to it
[04:05] <zerosan> anandanbu, use wine and install Steam, only problem is that the Steam interface is a bit buggy in there
[04:05] <pureDesi> how do I add kiba-dock to autostart?
[04:05] <foug> bruenig: wtf? how do i finalize my aditions to my ipod
[04:05] <einar_> i think it s not possible to install conterstrike on linux
[04:05] <zerosan> einar_,  it is
[04:05] <anandanbu> how can i install wine with synaptic or automatix
[04:05] <Jchord> anandanbu: goto http://www.winehq.org/
[04:05] <dougie> einar_ yea it is
[04:05] <bruenig> foug, calm down, I am trying to see what this package is, I don't have an ipod so I am not completely certain
[04:06] <einar_> ok good to know
[04:06] <bruenig> !automatix | anandanbu
[04:06] <ubotu> anandanbu: 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
[04:06] <zerosan> anandanbu, just search for wine in it
[04:06] <dvds> hello
[04:06] <anandanbu> ok then can i apt-get wine
[04:06] <dvds> "Out of memory: kill process" , during an installation... is this terrible? :E
[04:06] <dougie> anandanbu, you can also visit #winehq
[04:06] <foug> bruenig: i'm trying ot copy songs onot my ipod, i doubt this will work though
[04:07] <dougie> !wine | anandanbu
[04:07] <ubotu> anandanbu: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[04:07] <bruenig> foug, ok the readme says to do this "sudo cp libfmodex.so.4.02.05 /usr/lib && sudo cp YamiPod /usr/local/bin"
[04:07] <cjae> it seems to switch back and forth between it last position and the new one
[04:07] <Keroman> Anybody have any ideas as to what I can do if my computer won't boot to CD, DVD, or USB drive?  I'm sure I've got the .iso file for Ubuntu burned correctly.
[04:07] <bruenig> foug, or it says to do something and that is the best way to do it
[04:07] <rajkosto> how do you config dns ?
[04:07] <foug> bruenig: i don't need audio for yamipod, i just need to put songs onto my ipod
[04:07] <bruenig> foug, after you do that, run "YamiPod"
 use the alternate install cd
[04:08] <dougie> Keroman, I've got that same problem...i'm trying to get it to boot off a usb thumb drive though
[04:08] <foug> bruenig: i don't understand why drag and drop doesn't work in rhythmbox, i've tried GTK pod and it wouldn't even detect my ipod. Telling me i had some /media/ error
[04:08] <cyan_ronin> what is the correct md5 checksum of ubuntu-desktop-7.04?
[04:08] <bruenig> foug, do those things and tell me what happens
[04:08] <Jordan_U> dvds, How much RAM do you have?
[04:08] <Keroman> I tried a thumb drive and got a realtek network adapter error.
[04:08] <bruenig> cyan_ronin, the sums should be located on the mirror where you got the iso
[04:08] <bruenig> cyan_ronin, called DIGESTS sometimes
[04:08] <dougie> i just need to format my thumb drive...
[04:08] <dougie> noone seems to be able to tell me how to do that
[04:09] <cyan_ronin> thanks bruenig
[04:09] <cjae> does the cubestorm screensaver freak out with anybody else
[04:09] <Keroman> How to format it?
[04:09] <Keroman> You in Windows?
[04:09] <dougie> yeah
[04:09] <dougie> no
[04:09] <dougie> lol
[04:09] <Keroman> Heh heh.
[04:09] <Keroman> Find a windows comp, open My Computer, right click, and format.
[04:09] <Jordan_U> dougie, Gparted?
[04:09] <dougie> Gparted? whats that?
[04:09] <dougie> !Gparted
[04:09] <ubotu> 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
[04:09] <Jordan_U> dougie, It's like partition magic but better and Free :)
[04:10] <cjae> gparted is the greatest thing invented for free in a long time
[04:10] <bruenig> dougie, this is not the place for windows help, ##windows would be a more appropriate channel
[04:10] <dougie> ok i'll give it a try
[04:10] <foug> bruenig: i don't understand why drag and drop doesn't work in rhythmbox, i've tried GTK pod and it wouldn't even detect my ipod. Telling me i had some /media/ error
[04:10] <bruenig> oh wait
[04:10] <bruenig> foug, ok
[04:10] <dougie> bruenig, i'm not asking for windows help
[04:10] <bruenig> dougie, yeah, I just realized you said "yeah" and then "no"
[04:10] <bruenig> and yeah
[04:10] <bruenig> so I retract
[04:10] <cjae> the live cd is a very good partition and disk managing solution
[04:10] <bruenig> foug, what happens when you run what I said?
[04:11] <anandanb1> how do i install wine in ubuntu 7.04
[04:11] <Keroman> Sorry, my fault.
[04:11] <xSUSHix> anandanb1 - sudo apt-get install wine
[04:11] <foug> bruenig: i don't get the error anymore but yamipod takes forever to open up
[04:11] <foug> bruenig: and copying songs didn't work
[04:11] <xSUSHix> anandanb1 then do winecfg
[04:11] <dougie> hmm...
[04:11] <foug> bruenig: pretty sure yamipod just froze
[04:11] <bruenig> foug, perhaps it is an ipod problem, if you are having problems in three separate applications, maybe it is having a hard time mounting or something
[04:11] <foug> does anyone here use rhythmbox for their ipod?
[04:11] <cjae> does the cubestorm screensaver freak out with anybody else
[04:11] <dvds> Jchord - Jordan_U : it was the alternate cd, about 200mb ram :\
[04:11] <foug> bruenig: yea it's a mount problem, it doesn't see it, i hate linux
[04:12] <MarkeH> i cant even use rhythmbox to play sounds on my hdd :s
[04:12] <chimaera> where can i get the latest nvidia drivers
[04:12] <bruenig> foug, is it actually mounted or not?
[04:12] <foug> bruenig: couldn't tell ya, i can see my songs on my ipod
[04:12] <anandanb1> why to do winecfg
[04:12] <Keroman> Nvidia's website has drivers for linux.
[04:12] <budluva> anyone else here know of a good mp3 streaming daemon, like gnump3d???? or is that the only option, its the only option in the repos, but i want something that looks better
[04:12] <foug> bruenig: i just don't know how ot add any to it
[04:12] <bruenig> foug, ok so it is mounted you say
[04:12] <foug> bruenig: all these programs suck worse than itunes. rhythmbox seemed simple enough but drag and drop does nothing
[04:13] <cjae> chimaera, the nvdia site
[04:13] <foug> bruenig:
[04:13] <foug> (YamiPod:19051): Gtk-CRITICAL **: _gtk_accel_group_attach: assertion `g_slist_find (accel_group->acceleratables, object) == NULL' failed
[04:13] <bruenig> foug, it is likely a hardware issue not a program issue, you should calm down a bit, "it doesn't work" doesn't mean "the program doesn't work" necessarily
[04:13] <foug> bruenig: is what happens when i open yamipod
[04:13] <foug> bruenig: well, it was working fine in windows
[04:13] <xSUSHix> foug - mounting ipod and drag and dropping in nautilus works fine with me
[04:13] <foug> xSUSHix: let me try
[04:14] <bruenig> foug, gtk spits out a bunch of stuff, unless the thing doesn't open, it can generally be ignored
[04:14] <julian_> under the sound option under system, i can get the usb sound to work. but i cant play music
[04:14] <jTr0n> i like amarok
[04:14] <dougie> hmm ok gparted is not letting me format it.....the option is not selectable
[04:14] <xSUSHix> foug try gtkpod
[04:14] <bruenig> foug, well it could be a problem with "mount" not rhythmbox
[04:14] <foug> xSUSHix: i did, it made no sense
[04:14] <xSUSHix> foug - http://www.ubuntux.org/how-to-use-an-ipod-with-ubuntu
[04:14] <MarkeH> Has anybody tried installing steam via wine recently? (7.04 + 0.9.36) I need to know why im downloading SteamInstall.msi instead of .exe :s
[04:14] <cjae> does the cubestorm screensaver freak out with anybody else
[04:14] <chimaera> may i noe wats the difference between feisty's restricted nvidia driver and nvidia site's drivers
[04:14] <Jordan_U> dougie, Right click on the partition in gparted and unmount it
[04:14] <xSUSHix> works great with me no problems and easy to use
[04:15] <redcard> Is there a graphical grub tool?
[04:15] <dougie> Jordan_U ohhh...ok now it works :) What's a good FS to use if i'm trying to make it bootable?
[04:15] <bruenig> foug, try to unmount your ipod and then mount it again
[04:15] <xSUSHix> redcard - grubconf
[04:15] <foug> bruenig: how do i unmount it
[04:15] <AaronCN_> AaronCN, .
[04:15] <bruenig> foug, do you know its name? /dev/something
[04:15] <redcard> xSUSHix: It says it's not around..
[04:16] <cjae> does the cubestorm screensaver freak out with anybody else
[04:16] <Jordan_U> dougie, There is a guide for installing Ubuntu to a flash drive, do you want the link?
[04:16] <foug> bruenig: it's in /media/ for me , unless it goes somewhere else i don't know
[04:16] <xSUSHix> redcard http://grubconf.sourceforge.net/?page=shots
[04:16] <bruenig> foug, that is the mount point, how do you usually unmount it, is there something you can click on to say unmount
[04:16] <bruenig> like right click on the icon, that generally works
[04:16] <foug> bruenig: i can eject it
[04:16] <bruenig> foug, ok that is the same
[04:16] <foug> xSUSHix: dragging in nautilus does not work
[04:17] <dougie> Jordan_U, I'm not trying to install it too a flash drive...i'm trying to put the install files on there and boot it on my system that doesn't have a working cd rom drive
[04:17] <bruenig> foug, unplug it after that, plug it back in and then immediately after you plug it in do "dmesg | tail"
[04:17] <Jordan_U> chimaera, Ubuntu's will automatically update when you get a new kernel and is supported by Ubuntu ( recommended ) and the one from nvidia is hard to install and will break whenever you get a kernel update but is newer
[04:17] <foug> bruenig: i plug it in and now my computer doesn't even recognize it, no icon opens on my desktop
[04:17] <bruenig> foug, do the command
[04:17] <tom_kelleher> quick question, is it worth downloading the 7.04 CD or would it just be faster to use my Edgy CD and update later?
[04:17] <foug> bruenig: k it's opened and i did the command
[04:17] <yimmmmy> what should i do if i want to put thhis on with somthing already on there but i wnat it off ther
[04:18] <foug> bruenig: rhythm box opened
[04:18] <Jordan_U> dougie, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[04:18] <bruenig> foug, pastebin the output if you don't mind
[04:18] <bruenig> !paste | foug
[04:18] <ubotu> foug: 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)
[04:18] <Gerro> tom_kelleher: use install not update, doesn't work for update
[04:18] <dthomasdigital> should I have settings as an option on xchat on the bar at the top of my window?
[04:18] <foug> bruenig: when i double click my ipod the songs i added arel isted, but when i play my ipod there isn't anything on it that i want
[04:18] <cjae> does the cubestorm screensaver freak out with anybody else
[04:18] <anandanb1> how do i install appliactions using wine
[04:18] <tom_kelleher> Gerro: so you think I should just wait for 7.04 to download ?
[04:18] <Gerro> foug: remember to umount it?
[04:18] <chimaera> Jordan_U: ic thnx
[04:18] <Jordan_U> tom_kelleher, Updating will require more downloading than just getting the Feisty install CD
[04:18] <bruenig> foug, yeah I know, I am trying to troubleshoot, repeating the problem on the highest level, the graphical level, is not helping much
[04:18] <foug> bruenig: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20284/
[04:18] <Gerro> tom_kelleher: yep
[04:19] <bruenig> anandanb1, wine whatever.exe

[04:19] <Gerro> g2g
[04:19] <xSUSHix> foug i used this guide http://www.ubuntux.org/how-to-use-an-ipod-with-ubuntu
[04:19] <sergio_> whats pija?????'
[04:19] <tom_kelleher> great thank you I appreciate the advice.
[04:19] <anandanb1> am i suppose to type it in the terminal
[04:19] <foug> bruenig: i gotta go to work, was hoping this problem would be simple to fix
[04:19] <foug> bruenig: i'll talk to you later if i can, thanks man
[04:19] <Ademan_> anandanb1: yes, or, you should be able to double click on the installer
[04:19] <yimmmmy> i have no os at allll

[04:21] <yimmmmy> im scared
[04:21] <Jordan_U> yimmmmy, If there really is a problem with your partitions try testdisk ( can be installed / run from the LiveCD )
[04:22] <xSUSHix> yimmmmy boot from cd and use gparted to make an ext3 partition and format it
[04:22] <xSUSHix> yimmmmy - make sure you click apply
[04:22] <dougie> Jordan_U it looks like this guide wants you to use windows to create the disk
[04:22] <yimmmmy> it dont have gparted
[04:22] <IAmWill> are there any tools, like qtparted, that will format  SD cards?
[04:22] <yimmmmy> were can i get a good cd that will install this with no problem
[04:22] <xSUSHix> yimmmmmy if its not on the live cdrom use apt-get install gparted
[04:22] <xSUSHix> yimmmmy are you using the x86 ubuntu cdrom ?
[04:23] <yimmmmy> http://releases.ubuntu.com/feisty/ub...rnate-i386.iso
[04:23] <yimmmmy> that is one
[04:23] <yimmmmy> im not useing that one
[04:23] <yimmmmy> though
[04:24] <anandanb1> how do i copy files to an USB pendrive in Ubuntu 7.04
[04:24] <Jordan_U> dougie, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent will tell you how to install the LiveCD to a thumb drive ( you can ignore the persistence and second ext2 partition ) and you can install from that

[04:30] <eternaljoy> i will pay someone to help me tell me what file to run to play this game :)
[04:31] <ed1t> is there any way to avoid that keyring password everytime it connects to wireless network?
[04:31] <anandanb1> yeah its an NTFS drive
[04:31] <david_gorla> gutsy should have screenlets
[04:31] <MarkeH> [Neurotic] : cant you get hold of a couple of cheap nic's + a cat5 cable?
[04:31] <msh> anyone here? http://pastebin.ca/481954
[04:31] <Ronald|laptop> ed1t, take the password off it with keyring manager. unfortunately that also takes the password of your other passes in the keyring as its all stored in the default keyring.

[04:31] <cjae> does the cubestorm screensaver freak out with anybody else
[04:32] <cjae> anybody
[04:32] <MarkeH> Ah right...
[04:32] <wy> I installed the new ubuntu and found emacs 22 keeps reading a file named 00debian-vars. It seems to slow the start up of emacs. I removed the file from /etc/emacs/site-start.d, but emacs still displays the message. How can I get rid of it?
[04:32] <[Neurotic] > looking at the forums, it seems like a bunch of people have the same issue, but no solution
[04:32] <TraceGreen> Hello, every time my linux kernel would "Checking if this processor honours the WP bit", How can i disable it?
[04:32] <Jordan_U> msh, Maybe try the main mirrors instead of the US mirrors ?
[04:33] <MarkeH> Offer to buy your network/sys admin a beer then ;)
[04:33] <dougie> what is mcopy???
[04:33] <xSUSHix> cjae works fine on my end sorry
[04:33] <msh> Jordan_U: how would i change that
[04:33] <msh> Jordan_U: just remove the us.?
[04:33] <Vistasux> has anyone gotten gallery installed corectly?
[04:33] <anandanb1> i have installed the ubuntu 7.04 and how do i install the kde in it
[04:33] <Jordan_U> msh, System -> Administration -> Software sources, or edit your sources.list and remove the us
[04:33] <cjae> xSUSHix, could it be parts of my xorg
[04:33] <[Neurotic] > MarkeH: heh. well some new network cable is 'coming'.. and we all know that that means 'at some point in the next century'
[04:34] <MarkeH> hehe

[04:34] <MarkeH> "When hell freeze's over" if its anything like the company i used to work for ;p
[04:35] <cjae> xSUSHix, does it work for sure all the time
[04:35] <anandanb1> with synaptic or apt-get
[04:35] <[Neurotic] > maybe I should just buy a little switch
[04:35] <anandanb1> and also how to install the NTFS 3G driver
[04:35] <Jordan_U> anandanb1, Yes :) ( either one, they do the same thing )
[04:35] <[Neurotic] > stick it on the end of my cat5 port
[04:35] <baegle> I'm trying to upgrade to Feisty but I'm getting stopped by the 50MB /boot requirement. I've found one solution on the web that has me editing a tmp file during the upgrade process to get around the check, but I can't get it to work. Are there other methods for solving this problem?

[04:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about urban terror - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:36] <strabes> foug: you're trying to compile it from source? Forget about it. Try to find a debian package.
[04:36] <xSUSHix> cjae i just tried it 5 times it works all the time same with the rest of the screensavers
[04:37] <cjae> xSUSHix, cause mine works a few times then quits
[04:37] <Jordan_U> baegle, you could resize your /boot
[04:37] <cjae> xSUSHix, on perview
[04:37] <baegle> I could, but I couldn't do it anywhere near easily
[04:37] <baegle> It's not an LVM, and it's the first partition on the disk
[04:37] <FantaOrange> i need help with a program called gallery ?
[04:37] <cjae> xSUSHix, on preview sorry
[04:37] <FantaOrange> can anyone help
[04:38] <DocShay> would somebody possibly be able to give me a little bit of help?
[04:38] <baegle> DocShay: don't ask to ask, just ask
[04:38] <DocShay> =) I like the sound of that
[04:38] <DocShay> Well i'm new to linux, just installed yesterday. Coming from windows - its a little difficult. Anyway
[04:39] <DocShay> I managed to install Irssi, I want to load a theme
[04:39] <drew1> anyone know how to install the ati drivers on ubuntu 7.04?
[04:39] <DocShay> So looking on a site is says...
[04:39] <mneptok> DocShay: irssi is a console IRC client. it does not have themes.
[04:39] <nom_> Can someone assist me in the process of reverting back to windows?
[04:39] <MarkeH> drew1: is it in the "Restricted Drivers" menu?
[04:39] <mneptok> nom_: ##windows
[04:39] <cjae> xSUSHix, it seems to switch back and forth between it last position and the new one like jumping back and forth while making it path along the screen
[04:39] <DocShay> Erm, it sats right on the site you can load themes.
[04:39] <drew1> ok
[04:40] <mneptok> DocShay: URL?
[04:40] <DocShay> http://www.irssi.org/themes
[04:40] <drew1> that fixed it
[04:40] <drew1> THANKS
[04:40] <FantaOrange> i need help with image gallery , anyone ever installed it?
[04:40] <baegle> Anyone have a way to upgrade to feisty with a < 50MB /boot that doesn't involve resizing /boot
[04:40] <DocShay> Just can't figure out where the ~/.irssi/ directory is...
[04:40] <skinnypuppy1334> Is Gcam available in universe? ?
[04:40] <baegle> DocShay: ~ is your user's home directory
[04:40] <cjae> xSUSHix, not that it is that big a deal but I think it is been broken for awhile unless it my  xorg
[04:40] <mneptok> DocShay: it's in ~/  ;)
[04:40] <baegle>  /home/DocShay
[04:40] <mneptok> baegle: how big is /boot on your system?
[04:41] <baegle> and files that begin a period are "hidden"
[04:41] <baegle> you can find them using ls -a
[04:41] <MarkeH> If its not there DocShay, its hidden
[04:41] <baegle> or viewing hidden files
[04:41] <mneptok> DocShay: ctl-H while looking in Nautilus
[04:41] <baegle> mneptok: It's 50MB, but it already has a kernel in it
[04:41] <DocShay> How do I get there? Looking in File Browser I don't see home or anything
[04:41] <DocShay> I see File System, and my 2 other HD's
[04:41] <Jordan_U_> baegle, Does update-manager give you an error or a specific package?
[04:41] <mneptok> DocShay: ctl-H
[04:41] <bytecolor> skinnypuppy1334, I dont see it but I'm on 6.06
[04:41] <MarkeH> I know because i spent ages looking for my .wine folder :D
[04:41] <baegle> Update-manager tells me I need to free up 11MB of space to proceed
[04:42] <Defian> I need help getting UT2004 to run.
[04:42] <mneptok> baegle: do you only have 1 kernel?
[04:42] <DocShay> pressed ctrl + h and nothing happened? lol
[04:42] <kitche> Defian: what is the error
[04:42] <mneptok> DocShay: look at the window again
[04:42] <baegle> mneptok:  I had more, but I tossed them to try to free up space
[04:42] <Defian> well thats it, there isn't one. It just closes the terminal when i try to exec it
[04:42] <mneptok> baegle: ah.
[04:42] <MarkeH> DocShay: got ot view, click "show hidden files"
[04:42] <Defian> and when I double click the ut2004-bin file, the splash appears, disappears, and thats it
[04:43] <^keoni^> hello room
[04:43] <Defian> the game is up to date
[04:43] <Jordan_U_> baegle, If you want to go on the wild side you could remove your current kernel :)
[04:43] <mneptok> Defian: launch it from a terminal and look at the output
[04:43] <baegle> rofl
[04:43] <baegle> It's probably not going to be enough anyway
[04:43] <kitche> Defian: there is an error try running ut2004 in a terminal
[04:43] <Defian> mneptok: when I launch from terminal, it closes on me
[04:43] <aboutblank> if alsa is built into my kernel, how do I ./configure it? (or equivalent)
[04:43] <Defian> it wont display an error, it just closes the terminal
[04:43] <mneptok> baegle: 50MB is no way enough for /boot these days
[04:43] <FantaOrange> someone please help
[04:43] <baegle> mneptok: It's been enough for me for years
[04:43] <mneptok> Defian: what does it say in the terminal?
[04:44] <larson9999> linux rocks!
[04:44] <mneptok> baegle: the Linux kernel ain't getting smaller
[04:44] <DocShay> nothings coming up
[04:44] <DocShay> Show hidden files is clicked
[04:44] <DocShay> checked*
[04:44] <Defian> mneptok: it doesn't say anything... the terminal closes before it says anything
[04:44] <baegle> It also isn't normally built in the boot partition
[04:44] <MikeJC> Any bugzilla admin's out there that have configured it with one code base but multiple databases?
[04:44] <MarkeH> Its not there then :(
[04:44] <bruenig> Defian, the terminal closes?
[04:44] <DocShay> :(
[04:44] <Jordan_U> baegle, baegle Grab another drive and put /boot on it :)
[04:44] <Defian> yes, the terminal closes on me
[04:44] <JacktheHomeless> Got a quick opinion question. Ive been using Ubuntu for a while now. I recently got a computer to use as a home media server, which distro would be best suited for that purpose?
[04:44] <baegle> Jordan_U: I'm on a laptop
[04:44] <mneptok> Defian: the terminal shourd not close
[04:44] <DocShay> Mike what irc client do you use?
[04:44] <Defian> I know it shouldn't.. but it does
[04:45] <DocShay> mark*
[04:45] <bruenig> Defian, you are saying that the terminal (the command line thing that you typed the command in) closed?
[04:45] <baegle> So, no one has a good solution to this
[04:45] <mneptok> baegle: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1745100 2007-04-15 04:07 vmlinuz-2.6.20-15-generic
[04:45] <kitche> bruenig: think he's getting terminal and the game mixed up
[04:45] <mneptok> baegle: 17MB for one kernel
[04:45] <bruenig> kitche, yeah I do to
[04:45] <bruenig> p
[04:45] <bruenig> o
[04:45] <MarkeH> me DocShay? Konversation
[04:45] <yimmmmy> yok
[04:45] <DocShay> Can you theme it?
[04:45] <baegle> mneptok: I don't have a need for lots of kernels
[04:45] <Defian> Yes, the terminal closes on me everytime I attempt to launch ut2004-bin with it.
[04:45] <MarkeH> Err
[04:45] <MarkeH> Ive not looked tbh
[04:45] <DocShay> heh
[04:45] <Jordan_U> baegle, Thumb drive :) ( if there really is enough space you can copy the files over to your regular /boot and switch it back after the upgrade
[04:45] <bruenig> Defian, there is no way
[04:45] <DocShay> I think i'll look into getting that one
[04:45] <MarkeH> Ive only switched to linux recently too
[04:46] <DocShay> oh ok
[04:46] <MarkeH> Well, installed it
[04:46] <Defian> exec ~/ut2004/System/ut2004-bin -- that just closes the terminal on me
[04:46] <mneptok> baegle: are you *really* debating the "50MB is not enough" issue as you ask for help overcoming the "50MB is not enough" issue? ;)
[04:46] <MarkeH> messed around with a few live cd's
[04:46] <bruenig> Defian, the thing at applications>accessories>terminal
[04:46] <bruenig> Defian, that thing closes?
[04:46] <Defian> Yes, bruenig, that closes
[04:46] <bruenig> Defian, wow
[04:46] <Defian> EVERYTIME i try to
[04:46] <baegle> The issue is that the upgrader is trying to build the kernel in boot, which is ridiculous
[04:46] <bruenig> Defian, don't run it with exec
[04:46] <mneptok> DocShay: are you using Ubuntu or Kubuntu
[04:46] <bruenig> Defian, just type the path
[04:47] <baegle> No one builds kernels in boot
[04:47] <Jordan_U> Defian, What about xterm?
[04:47] <DocShay> Also having a weird boot problem. I have 3 HD's. 1 windows. 1 spare (installed ubuntu on it) 1 with media. Whenever I boot up my PC it goes straight into windows with no option of going into linux...only way I can get here is booting thru CD, then choosing boot from harddrive. How do I fix it so I dont need a CD to boot into it?
[04:47] <bruenig> I wonder what would happen if he did it in tty
[04:47] <Defian> ok ok wait a second, so how should I execute it? everyother way that I have tried doesn't do anything
[04:47] <bruenig> Defian, just type the path to it
[04:47] <Jordan_U> DocShay, Did you install windows after Linux?
[04:47] <MarkeH> You need to change your boot order in bios to the drive that grub was installed onto
[04:47] <mneptok> bruenig: it would fail as there's no X session
[04:47] <DocShay> Nope, Windows first
[04:47] <shawn34> can't seem to get xchat to join multiple channels on network connect, how are the channels separated?
[04:47] <bruenig> mneptok, DISPLAY=:0
[04:48] <bruenig> mneptok, no I mean to keep the x session going
[04:48] <Jordan_U> DocShay, Did it ever work?
[04:48] <DocShay> I just installed linux yesterday
[04:48] <Defian> aha, thanks bruenig. Wow indeed. Anyway, the error is.. ./libSDL-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[04:48] <bruenig> Defian, look in synaptic for sdl
[04:49] <Defian> rgr
[04:49] <DocShay> ubuntu works..just gotta boot off cd...then choose "boot from harddrive" so im running it off the HD right now
[04:49] <Defian> I feel sorta stupid now -_-
[04:49] <DocShay> Just can't get here, without CD first
[04:49] <MarkeH> DocShay: GRUB will have been installed onto a different HDD than the one that is first in your boot list in bios..... if you get me
[04:49] <Jordan_U> DocShay, Do you have more than one drive?
[04:49] <DocShay> I have 3
[04:49] <DocShay> Linux is NOT on the windows HD
[04:49] <MarkeH> I had the same problem with 2 sata's
[04:50] <Defian> I find a lot of results for sdl... bruenig. What should I install?
[04:50] <systimax> Does anyone know how to get a nic that has no ip adress assigned to it start at boot?
[04:50] <bruenig> Defian, well look at the version numbers, look if any of them are libsdl, etc
[04:50] <Defian> libsdl-ttf2.0-0?
[04:50] <Jordan_U> DocShay, Set the Bios to boot from the HD that has grub installed.
[04:50] <systimax> im ready to pay for a answer
[04:50] <bruenig> !find libSDL-1.2.so.0
[04:50] <ubotu> Package/file libsdl-1.2.so.0 does not exist in feisty
[04:50] <blackgraz_> has anyone got torrentflux working on ubuntu?
[04:50] <DocShay> When im in my bios and select boot options. Theres CD HD and all that - doesnt give me the option of which HD to boot from.
[04:50] <bruenig> Defian, the version is 1.2
[04:50] <MarkeH> Really? Odd
[04:51] <Defian> ok
[04:51] <DocShay> Just says HD
[04:51] <bruenig> Defian, although it can probably be higher
[04:51] <Jordan_U> DocShay, You need to install GRUB to the Drive with windows on it then ( this won't touch windows itself, just the MBR )
[04:51] <baegle> got it, I had to wait till my sudo rights ran out, that way as the upgrade processes started, it would sit a tmp state prior to loading the python scripts to execute the upgrade. Then I edited the python scripts, reduced the required size of /boot in the check from 50 to 25 and put my sudo password in. (boom headshot?)
[04:52] <MarkeH> DocShay: is that in advanced bios options > boot order?
[04:52] <HKJGN_> i know this isnt ubuntu specifis, but anyone tried updating BF2142 in Cedega?
[04:52] <HKJGN_> specifically*
[04:52] <DocShay> How do I do that? Insall GRUB into the windows HD without the entire ubuntu?
[04:52] <DocShay> I belive so mark
[04:52] <dunklegend> Hi: this is my first time in IRC
[04:53] <Jordan_U> DocShay, GRUB is just a bootloader ( You can also install it to a floppy if you have a floppy drive )
[04:53] <geokeratz> hello!
[04:53] <geokeratz> dunklegend>
[04:53] <DocShay> So jordan, where do I put it on my windows HD?
[04:53] <dunklegend> I asked this question in the forums but nobody answered
[04:53] <DocShay> And how do I install it?
[04:53] <MarkeH> Actually, RE Grub.. Can i install it onto a USB drive so my pc wont boot without the USB drive connected?
[04:54] <dunklegend> I installed cowbell but it's not working
[04:54] <MarkeH> USB memory stick i mean
[04:54] <Jordan_U> MarkeH, Yes
[04:54] <Alpha_Cluster> ok how do i add myself to a group?
[04:54] <MarkeH> ta Jordan_U, i'll look into it :)
[04:54] <HKJGN_> ggrrr
[04:54] <DocShay> Jodran i'd like to know how to do that...therfore without my USB stick it only boots to windows...but when its in I can boot to linux or windows, right?
[04:55] <Jordan_U> !grub | MarkeH DocShay
[04:55] <ubotu> MarkeH DocShay: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[04:55] <dunklegend> when I click on the cowbell icon it' just tells me "Starting cowbell music organizer"
[04:55] <MarkeH> ta mate
[04:55] <dunklegend> and it doen't do anything
[04:55] <Jordan_U> DocShay, Yes.
[04:55] <lucky_> ubuntu-id
[04:56] <Defian> bruenig, i installed all the libsdl options, but i still get the same error.. hm.
[04:56] <bruenig> Defian, what is the name of the package
[04:56] <lucky_> sorry any one can help me to jpin to #ubuntu-id?
[04:56] <lucky_> sorry any one can help me to join to #ubuntu-id?
[04:56] <Defian> libsdl1.2deibian-all
[04:56] <MarkeH> lucky_:  type "/join #ubuntu-id"
[04:56] <mneptok> lucky_: /join #ubuntu-id
[04:57] <geokeratz> my problem: I was thinking for a format and wondering how to keep my firefox as it is right now. I want ,when i will reinstall it after the format, to have the same add-ons ,scripts in Greasemonkey etc..
[04:57] <lucky_> tanks markeh
[04:57] <bruenig> Defian, do dpkg -L libsdl1.2deibian-all | grep SDL, and see if that outputs anything
[04:57] <lucky_> thanks 2u too mneptok
[04:57] <MarkeH> no probs
[04:58] <geokeratz> if i keep in a CD the ./firefox folder, will it be ok to replace the new one after the format to work as now?
[04:58] <Defian> bruenig, not installed, that figures.
[04:58] <Jordan_U> DocShay, You can also just phisically connect the Ubuntu drive where the Windows drive is
[04:58] <dunklegend> I installed cowbell but it's not working when I click on the cowbell icon it' just tells me "Starting cowbell music organizer" and it doesn't do anything
[04:58] <bruenig> Defian, that must not be the name of the package
[04:58] <bruenig> Defian, are you sure it isn't just libsdl1.2
[04:58] <bruenig> Defian, do the same command but just with libsdl1.2
[04:58] <DocShay> lol, maybe thats why I never had the boot option for unbunto or windows...I never had grub installed =/
[04:58] <DocShay> Installed now...time to reboot and find out if it worked.
[04:59] <MarkeH> Good luck :D
[04:59] <DocShay> brb
[04:59] <HKJGN_> this is infuriating
[04:59] <HKJGN_> XO
[04:59] <Defian> bruenig, not installed. I don't see a package that just says "libsdl1.2"
[05:00] <bruenig> Defian, you didn't install it, install something please
[05:00] <Alpha_Cluster> I cannot find my user at all in User Settings does anyone know why this would be happening?
[05:00] <skinnypuppy1334> how can I check what gtk version i have?
[05:00] <geokeratz> anyone? I think the answer is yes, isn't it? thanx
[05:00] <HKJGN_> Cedega is apparently too stupid to apply updates correctly, since i cant seem to update BF2142 at all, it has no idea were the BF2142 folder is, even when its sitting /right inside the folder/
[05:01] <dunklegend> I installed cowbell but it's not working when I click on the cowbell icon it' just tells me "Starting cowbell music organizer" and it doesn't do anything can someone help me with this?
[05:01] <Alpha_Cluster> skinnypuppy1334,  what version of ubuntu do you have?
[05:01] <skinnypuppy1334> 7.04
[05:01] <Alpha_Cluster> 2.10

[05:02] <infidel> which file contains the programs the start when booting?
[05:02] <bruenig> Defian, if you could give names of these packages, it might be very simply to symlink files to get it to work

[05:04] <dougie> should i install the 64bit version or the 32bit version?
[05:04] <Alpha_Cluster> Does anyone here know about users? Somehow my current login DOESNT exist
[05:04] <lucky_> thankyou
[05:04] <shawn34> dougie, 32
[05:04] <levon> i have a question i have two hard drives one with linux one with windows now linux is the slave and windows is the master, how would i get linux to boot windows? for a start i think i have to make windows slave and linux master but will the grub menu notice windows on the slave cable?

[05:05] <MarkeH> dougie: if you have a 64bit proc, install the 64bit :)
[05:05] <dougie> ....
[05:05] <dougie> well its a core 2 duo that supports 64bit it says
[05:05] <infidel> Alpha_Cluster, ok found it thanks
[05:05] <mneptok> dunklegend: type "cowbell" (no quotes) in a terminal and see wha'ppens.
[05:05] <shawn34> dougie, i have 64 bit proc but run 32
[05:05] <Alpha_Cluster> dougie, look on www.ubuntuforums.org there are a few threads about 64 or 32
[05:05] <shawn34> dougie, more apps avail and less headache
[05:05] <mneptok> dougie: stick with 32 bit on desktops
[05:05] <phy2> Levon -- the easy way (for me) is to use BIOS to choose the boot drive

[05:06] <ZeZu[c] > "ZeZu" has proper IP but i haven't been on freenode in days i dont think
[05:07] <levon> aright
[05:07] <dunklegend> sorry
[05:07] <bruenig> Defian, right, the point is this, there is probably a file in one of those that this program is looking for, it probably has a different but similar name, if we can symlink this file to the name of the file the program is looking for, it will work, you didn't really help much by installing everything possible because now you have to look through everything possible for a similar file
[05:07] <mneptok> ZeZu[c] : /msg nickserv ghost Zezu $password
[05:07] <levon> so then if i choose from bios to boot the slave first it will also reconize windows?
[05:07] <dunklegend> it's my first time in IRC
[05:07] <ZeZu[c] > thanks
[05:07] <dunklegend> I don't know how to do that
[05:07] <nonlinear> quick question.... for an xp/linux dual boot with single 100 gig hd, would it be possible to put Documents and Settings and /home on a shared FAT partition?
[05:07] <bruenig> Defian, dpkg -L packagename | grep so, that is how I would do it and if I found something called libsdl.so or whatever it was, symlink it
[05:07] <ZeZu> whoa
[05:08] <ko12upt> cha chingy
[05:08] <ZeZu> it rejoined, some weirdness
[05:08] <phy2> levon --- I think haveing linux / windows on separate disks is the better way, there may be an expert that can help with grub coinfiguration, but I just do it in BIOS, always have, always (I guess) will
[05:08] <Alpha_Cluster> nonlinear, i would advise you to store your docs and stuff on a shared but keep home with ubuntu
[05:08] <nonlinear> phy2: thanks!  but it's a laptop with single drive :(
[05:08] <ko12upt> phy thank you
[05:09] <dunklegend> mneptok: can you make something out of the message that I pasted above?
[05:09] <phy2> Oh... you said two disks
[05:09] <geokeratz> my problem: I was thinking for a format and wondering how to keep my firefox as it is right now. I want ,when i will reinstall it after the format, to have the same add-ons ,scripts in Greasemonkey etc..
[05:09] <ko12upt> yes two hard drives
[05:09] <MarkeH> ununtu can read/write ntfs partitions anyway
[05:09] <Alpha_Cluster> nonlinear, when you are done installing you can use syslinks to make it seem like your shared folders are in /home
[05:09] <geokeratz> if i keep in a CD the ./firefox folder, will it be ok to replace the new one after the format to work as now?
[05:09] <mneptok> dunklegend: i would look at LP bugs for Cowbell. then check upsteram. then ask a Cowbell dev.
[05:09] <nonlinear> alpha: OK, that's how i have it now.. jsut thinkimng seperate home would be easier for reinstalls etc... when i reinstall can i just copy the /home to save settings etc?
[05:09] <FantaOrange> whats gallery2?
[05:09] <Alpha_Cluster> nonlinear, yeah you can just copy it
[05:09] <kbrosnan> geokeratz, http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder

[05:11] <Oy> hi all
[05:11] <jTr0n> it says the package is missing, but i have all the repositories setup
[05:11] <nonlinear> :)
[05:12] <Oy> a quick question...i am on mandriva now since it was the only linux to recognise my speedtouch 330 dsl modem
[05:12] <jTr0n> Package flashplugin-nonfree is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[05:12] <jTr0n> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[05:12] <jTr0n> is only available from another source
[05:12] <mneptok> jTr0n: enable multiverse
[05:12] <Oy> if i go through al the flashing the firmware etc in mandriva, will it be recognised in a live ubuntu?
[05:12] <jTr0n> yea it is
[05:12] <godlygeek> what's the right way to associate Abiword with the msword mimetype?  I hate OOo, but firefox keeps opening it.  ;)
[05:12] <mneptok> jTr0n: apt-cache show flashplugin-nonfree
[05:13] <FantaOrange> which ftp server should i use?
[05:13] <drwxr-xr-x> how do i make sound work after I hibernate ?
[05:13] <mneptok> jTr0n: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[05:13] <pyrohotdog> What's the best way to bring an iPhoto library to Ubuntu?
[05:13] <mneptok> FantaOrange: you shouldn't use FTP ;)
[05:13] <timthelion> anyone know of command line scanner software?
[05:13] <FantaOrange> just ssh?
[05:14] <dunklegend> mneptok: thanks I'll check LP and then come back
[05:14] <mneptok> FantaOrange: yup, and sftp/scp as part of that
[05:14] <FantaOrange> hey mneptok have u ever installed gallery?
[05:14] <jTr0n> says the same thing.  that apt-cache line didn't do anything
[05:14] <non|inear> one more question.... for xp/linux shared partitons, would it be better to use fat32 or ext3 (with a ext3 support addin for xp)
[05:14] <jTr0n> well, no output
[05:15] <mneptok> jTr0n: did you update?
[05:15] <dunklegend> how do I create a new bug for cowbell in LP?
[05:16] <mneptok> jTr0n: that package definitely exists, and apt-cache show Worked For Me(r)
[05:16] <Alpha_Cluster> dunklegend, are you loged in?
[05:16] <mneptok> non|inear: i'd use ekt3
[05:16] <mneptok> *ext3
[05:16] <jTr0n> obviously it exists hehe.  yea i'm updated to
[05:16] <jTr0n> i'm on feisty

[05:16] <mneptok> jTr0n: oh
[05:16] <non|inear> really?  i undrestand benefits of ext3, but will it affect windows performance at all?
[05:16] <jTr0n> yea that works
[05:17] <Alpha_Cluster> by LP you mean launchpade right?
[05:17] <mneptok> jTr0n: no Flash for you, dude.
[05:17] <jTr0n> well thats what i have this script from ubuntu forums for
[05:17] <MarkeH> Not true mneptok
[05:17] <jTr0n> i guess the site is just slow
[05:17] <Oy> thanks for the lack of reponse
[05:17] <mneptok> MarkeH: true. there is no Flash for x86-64.
[05:17] <MarkeH> I have flash running in FireFox(32-bit) on 7.04 64bit
[05:17] <mneptok> MarkeH: if *you* want to walk him through a chroot'ed 32 bit instance, be my guest.
[05:18] <jTr0n> there is 32bit flash that can run on 64bit fiesty
 I logged in
[05:18] <jTr0n> lolol thats why there's a script i bet
[05:18] <Alpha_Cluster> click on bugs
[05:18] <mneptok> jTr0n: not without a chroot or nspluginwrapper
[05:18] <dunklegend> ok
[05:18] <Alpha_Cluster> then report a bug
[05:18] <swuboo> I've run into a small problem.
[05:18] <swuboo> I installed a new widescreen monitor tonight, put the new resolution into xorg.conf, etc... and my taskbar's gone.
[05:18] <MarkeH> Again, not true mneptok :E
[05:19] <Alpha_Cluster> dunklegend, then in there go and select distro Ubuhntu and package cowbell
[05:19] <swuboo> Not off the bottom of the screen gone, I can use the desktop cube to see that it's actually vanished.
[05:19] <mneptok> MarkeH: OK, so how is it done without a chroot or a plugin wrapper?
[05:19] <dunklegend> ok
[05:19] <MarkeH> one sec
[05:19] <mneptok> MarkeH: and if you start talking about installing 32 bit libs inside a 64 bit system i'll slap you. :)
[05:19] <dunklegend> now what?

[05:20] <eexpress> sth funny here?
[05:21] <mneptok> MarkeH: that is UGLY. it pollutes a 64 bit install with 32 bit libraries. there is a very good chance this will cause updatues and upgrades to completely break your system.

[05:32] <bruenig> Defian, no idea
[05:32] <Jordan_U> shawn34, Where are you getting that error?
[05:32] <ian_> i want to auto mount removable drive with force option how shall i do that?

[05:34] <Nrbelex> I have my wireless card up and running. Using the network manager, I have previously used it to connect to a wireless network elsewhere on a corporate WPA system.

[05:35] <carbanm> well, not really
[05:35] <carbanm> but hard. i cant figure it out.
[05:35] <Jordan_U> shawn34, One general problem with  programs not made for Ubuntu is that they use /bin/sh when they should use /bin/bash , that is just a stab in the dark but you might try changing whatever script is having the problem to use /bin/bash instead ( it can't hurt )
[05:35] <rsaldanar> geokeratz my inglish don is ready

[05:38] <eexpress> :D
[05:38] <wy> I got disconnect just now. I think I've missed the ideas about emacs snapshot here.
[05:38] <WebMaven> Jordan_U: does that suggest anything?

[05:38] <rsaldanar> amigo pero en que web puedo descargarla
[05:38] <Jordan_U> shawn34, You can try symlinking /bin/sh to /bin/bash but you should revert it back to /bin/dash after if it's a one time thing
[05:39] <carbanm> RedRebel: do you have flgrx installed?

[05:39] <skinnypuppy1334> how do I apg get openGL1.1  ???
[05:40] <dam> swuboo, does your LCD have a auto mode?
[05:40] <swuboo> dam:  The Windows version of the nvidia drivers had a whole wizard-doodad that got everything pretty much perfect.
[05:40] <pyrohotdog> So I just plugged in my usb thumb drive...how do I mount it? Or at least find what /dev/ to mount?
[05:40] <swuboo> dam:  Auto in what sense?
[05:40] <eexpress> 
[05:40] <dunklegend> in the ubuntu-es channels there's a lot less help
[05:40] <tonyyarusso> pyrohotdog: it should mount automatically, but if not, look for /dev/sd??
[05:40] <dam> swuboo, 'nvidia-settings' has all the right settings for changing those values.

[05:41] <dam> swuboo, buttons on the monitor that allow you to change settings. usally a auto or default button exists!

[05:41] <FantaOrange> how do i find out the name of my machine?
[05:41] <swuboo> dam:  Right, well I'll give that a go then.
[05:41] <Aerotwelve> Can anyone help me setup my GUI? On boot, I get a message saying no "screens" can be found. This is a Wubi install. Anyone?
[05:41] <Jordan_U> WebMaven, Sounds like possibly a driver problem
[05:42] <tonyyarusso> eexpress: That's what #ubuntu-cn is for.

[05:42] <rukuartic> dunklegend: Do you speak spanish?

[05:42] <skinnypuppy1334> What's wrong with this command?   sudo apt-get install OpenGL1.1

[05:45] <tonyyarusso> !lamp | FantaOrange, one of the steps here
[05:45] <ubotu> FantaOrange, one of the steps here: 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+)
[05:45] <dam> swuboo, ok. i would just play around with settings while looking at a famous logo with many colours. config it that way
[05:45] <swuboo> dam:  Works for me, I guess.
[05:45] <Jordan_U> skinnypuppy1334, Do you just want 3D acceleration ?
[05:45] <rukuartic> dunklegend: You don't have to be a linux-guru to help... I still can't fix grub/alsa/xorg problems, but I help out here... 'this is how to do wireless', 'this is how to search for packages'... etc
[05:46] <startxjeff> FantaOrange:   What ubotu said...   or, go to Apachefriends.org and download a nice tar file.  =)
[05:46] <skinnypuppy1334> it is  needed for Gcam that I am installing
 can you help me with my cowbell?
[05:46] <FantaOrange> im trying to get gallery2 installed , and mysql will not work
[05:46] <dunklegend> that's what I really came for
[05:46] <rukuartic> dunklegend: what do you need help with?
[05:47] <rukuartic> FantaOrange: Do you have a mysql server installed?
[05:47] <dunklegend> I could paste the error but I got told that it wasn't acceptable to paste longe paragraphs
[05:47] <dunklegend> I pasted it above
[05:47] <FantaOrange> mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
[05:47] <FantaOrange> error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
[05:47] <startxjeff> FantaOrange:  did you also install phpmyadmin?
[05:47] <rukuartic> dunklegend: Well use the paste bin then... and what is 'cowbell'?
[05:47] <FantaOrange> this is what it says
[05:47] <rukuartic> FantaOrange: Did you set a root password?
[05:47] <Ashex> Alright, I have a computer running Ubuntu Dapper LTS
[05:48] <Ashex> and I'm going to convert it to a server
[05:48] <dunklegend> how do I use the paste bin?
[05:48] <FantaOrange> im trying it wont work
[05:48] <startxjeff> or, check that the mysqld is a running service
[05:48] <Ashex> first thing though, how do I set it so it doesn't launch X
[05:48] <rukuartic> dunklegend: http://rafb.net/paste -- Just paste the long eror in there, and link me to the page.
[05:48] <Ashex> Just change the runlevel in inittab?
[05:48] <rukuartic> Ashex: chmod -x /etc/init.d/gdm
[05:48] <FantaOrange> mysqladmin -u root password your-new-password
[05:48] <FantaOrange> why will it not work?
[05:48] <Ashex> rukuartic, that would create an error during startup, wouldn't it?
[05:49] <startxjeff> in order to set the root password, the sql service has to be running
[05:49] <FantaOrange> rukuartic: jhow do i set root password
[05:49] <rukuartic> FantaOrange: I don't know if you have the right syntax there, I'm not exactly a guru with mysql... try this. "mysql -u root -h localhost" and see if you get a login screen.
[05:49] <rukuartic> Ashex: I don't think so
[05:49] <startxjeff> did you "/etc/init.d/mysqld start" first?
[05:50] <MarkeH> Jordan_U: did DocShay come back? :E
[05:50] <skinnypuppy1334> I need to apt get OpenGL1.1 as a dependency for GCAM,  would someone tell me how to apt get that file?
[05:50] <rukuartic> Ashex: Super simple start would be 'apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop' I think... easy way tho is just to get a Server CD
[05:50] <Ashex> heh, true
[05:50] <timthelion> uh
[05:50] <rukuartic> startxjeff: I'm assuming the server's started, since we get 'permission denied' instead of 'no route to host'
[05:50] <PuppiesOnAcid> Where is the ubuntu-offtopic channel?
[05:50] <Jordan_U> MarkeH, No, I am curious also
[05:50] <PuppiesOnAcid> I have lots of off topic ubuntu stuff to talk about
[05:50] <rukuartic> PuppiesOnAcid: #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:50] <timthelion> how come there is no package sane-frontends?
[05:50] <dunklegend> rukuartic: http://rafb.net/p/PeLoLg27.html
[05:51] <MarkeH> He could still boot from cd, even if he broke his bootloader?
[05:51] <rukuartic> dunklegend: Is this a windows app you're trying to run with WINE?
[05:51] <dunklegend> nope
[05:51] <dunklegend> it's a music organizer
[05:51] <rukuartic> dunklegend: Was it something you found in the repos?
[05:51] <Jordan_U> MarkeH, His bootloader wasn't broken, it's just that the drive that was set to boot in BIOS wasn't the one with GRUB installed
[05:51] <FantaOrange> Access denied for user 'user'@'localhost' (using password: NO) what in the hell, how do i get mysql to work?
[05:51] <dunklegend> yes

[05:52] <Jordan_U> Hariharan, Are you trying to install the program "crash" ?
[05:53] <dunklegend> rukuartic: I think it's similar to amarok but I don't know because it never worked

 ok
[05:54] <Hariharan> Jordan_U: any hints to get vmlinux
[05:54] <startxjeff> It has a method to start the mysqld and reset the root password
[05:55] <Jordan_U> ian_, *Why* with force option?
[05:55] <rukuartic> dunklegend: I just installed it, it works fine...
[05:56] <non|inear> if i use fs-driver for ext3 support in xp, would it be possible (and advisable) to share a swap partition between xp and ubuntu?
[05:56] <dunklegend> rukuartic: it doesn't work for me I even reinstalled feisty and it still wouldn't work
[05:56] <rukuartic> dunklegend: man... you have a messed up problem.
[05:57] <Jordan_U> Hariharan, If you are looking for crash ( the kernel debugging tool ) it's available in universe and all it's dependencies should be available also
[05:57] <FantaOrange> how do i uninstall mysql from console?
[05:57] <Nergar> i need, help. this is windows related, but if i don't fix this i can't install ubuntu: when i start gparted, it says my windows partitions needs to be checked with chkdsk /f in wondows and reboot twice, but in vista (yes i know), i tried to run the command and it says i don't have permission to do that, so i think i need a "sudo" like command but how?
[05:57] <rukuartic> FantaOrange: sudo apt-get autoremove --purge mysql-server-5.0
[05:57] <startxjeff> FantaOrange:   apt-get remove mysql
[05:57] <startxjeff> sudo
[05:57] <startxjeff> sorry.... I don't normally sudo.
[05:58] <ian_> Jordan_U: because every time i put my external drive with ntfs and error occurred "Volume is scheduled for check. Please Boot into windows twice or use the force mount option...." so i have to go to  terminal and manual mount it. i want it to be auto.

[05:58] <skinnypuppy1334> How do I install OpenGL 1.1???
[05:58] <rukuartic> startxjeff: Nooo no no.
[05:58] <FantaOrange> it wont let me remove it even as root from console
[05:59] <Jordan_U> ian_, You should run checkdisk on the drive from windows, mounting with force is *not* a solution

[06:02] <Jordan_U> swuboo, What would you have it do?
[06:02] <rukuartic> FantaOrange: I've had these problems before... I think you've changed the root password somewhere.
[06:02] <ZeZu> anyone know what might be the problem, i even tried installing the "new" nv drivers as they are marked in synaptic

[06:04] <rukuartic> FantaOrange: My bad, wrong person.
[06:04] <Jordan_U> swuboo, I mean what would you have it do instead of reshaping, it has to be wider than it is tall in any orientation, how can this be phisically accomplished without distorting it?
[06:04] <swuboo> It was quite smooth and picturesque in a 5:4 resolution, but in an 8:6, it's almost nauseating.
[06:04] <Supaplex> the heck with cowbell, I use cowtazer
[06:04] <rukuartic> FantaOrange: Yeah try uninstalling now.
[06:04] <pyrops> can someone help me with beryl theme thingimabob
[06:04] <FantaOrange> i just did, now i need to reinstall it
[06:04] <non|inear> if i use fs-driver for ext3 support in xp, would it be possible (and advisable) to share a swap partition between xp and ubuntu?
[06:05] <rukuartic> FantaOrange: sudo apt-get install mysql-server-4.0 or 5.0, whichever you like better
[06:05] <swuboo> Jordan_U:  Why would a 3-d model of a six-sided shape have to reshape itself based on viewing angle?
[06:05] <FantaOrange> im trying to get gllaery2 installed, have u ever installed it before: rukuartic?
 well anyway there's nobody on the channel that the bot suggested that's why spanish people try to get help here instead
[06:05] <rukuartic> non|inear: I just have a fat32 partition to share between the two
[06:05] <Supaplex> dunklegend: bien.
[06:05] <Jordan_U> non|inear, Swap partitions aren't formatted ext3, they are formatted as swap
[06:05] <rukuartic> FantaOrange: No, but I've installed things similar to it.
[06:05] <non|inear> jordan: oh yea OK... can i use ext3 for swaP?
[06:06] <non|inear> im just trying to save a gig of hd space :)
[06:06] <Supaplex> non|inear: apt-cache show swapd
[06:06] <non|inear> rukuartic: what cdo you think of sharing?
[06:06] <non|inear> supaplex: what is apt-cache for
[06:06] <swuboo> Jordan_U:  Let me try to rephrase.  It's obviously not a true cube, and isn't in any regularly used resolution.  It has to be wider than it is tall in any computer resolution.  Why, then, should it not appear to physically change shape at 1280x1024, but appear to violently rearrange itself at 1680x1050?
[06:07] <ko12upt> okay it works fine, another question though im running two hard drives one windows one linux i want to save to windows from linux how do i make this possible its giving me an error as root so im stumped i tried to change the permissions on it too still nothing
[06:07] <navets> i am trying to use svideo to connect my tv to my laptop on linux, can anyone help me
[06:07] <swuboo> It's like there's a funhouse mirror involved.
[06:07] <Supaplex> non|inear: man apt-cache :)
[06:07] <rukuartic> non|inear: Here's my setup. [ 10 Gb | NTFS | Windows ]  [ 10 GB | ext3 | Linux ]  [ 256 MB | swap ]  [ 60 GB | fat32 | my share drive :3 ] 
[06:07] <linuxnub> can anyone help me get SAMBA setup plz
 cowbell still doesn't work :(
[06:07] <dave132> whats the best way to view real player files in ubuntu?
[06:08] <ko12upt> ruk u dont have much to play with lol
[06:08] <MarkeH> ko12upt: try looking at this - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[06:08] <rukuartic> dunklegend: Try this... dpkg -l | grep sharp... lemme know if you see something like libmono-sharp
[06:08] <ko12upt> aww okay thanks
[06:08] <MarkeH> Might be of help to you
[06:08] <non|inear> supaplex: thanks!  but i'm in xp, in process of formatting and no ubuntu atm
[06:08] <Jordan_U> swuboo, What do you mean by violently re-arrange, it is going to have to be a much more drastic change if you have a much more larger difference between width and hight
[06:08] <dunklegend> Supaplex: what is cowtazer, is it similar to cowbell?
[06:09] <Jordan_U> swuboo, * much larger, not much more
[06:09] <Jordan_U> :)
[06:09] <Supaplex> dunklegend: well, it's like a normal every day tazer, but much more painful.
[06:09] <EmperorCezar> I was wondering if anyone knew why my nvidia-settings would only show it's own configuration options?
[06:09] <xjkx> my mp4 player (a hardware such as ipod, which isnt popular all over the world, but you can guess an ipod) understands a amv format, ok, i couldnt find an avi to amv converter, but what about play? I have w32codecs/mplayer and i cant play
[06:09] <rukuartic> dunklegend: Either way, there's other id3 tag editors out there.
[06:09] <slilburn> if I download the alternate install cd, can I upgrade without having to do a major download?
[06:09] <Supaplex> non|inear: apt-cache (8)        - APT package handling utility - - cache manipulator
[06:09] <FantaOrange> do u know how to setup mysql?
[06:09] <swuboo> Jordan_U:  What I mean is, suppose I've already zoomed out.  And I wish to turn the cube, still in cube mode, to view a different face.  While I'm rotating, the relative angles as viewed from the top of the different sides change dramatically.
[06:10] <dunklegend> rukuartic: ii  libmono-sharpzip2.84-cil                   1.2.3.1-1ubuntu1
[06:10] <rukuartic> dunklegend: Yup, I got that too. You have a wonky support issue
[06:10] <FantaOrange> rukuartic: do u know how to setup mysql?
[06:10] <anandanbu> does anybody know how to install gnome-dock in ubuntu 7.04
[06:10] <rukuartic> FantaOrange: Barely. But I need to go in the next few minutes.
[06:11] <Jordan_U> swuboo, So you want the top to only match the aspect ratio or your screen when you are zoomed in, correct?
[06:11] <dave132> will mplayer play real player files and if so which plugins do i need?
[06:11] <dunklegend> rukuartic: what's another good id3 tag editor, I used musicmatch jukebox in XP, is there something similar in ubuntu?
[06:11] <navets> i am trying to use svideo to connect my tv to my laptop on linux, can anyone help me
[06:11] <swuboo> Jordan_U:  Yes, I think that would be fair.  The top and bottom should be actual squares, rather than reflect the aspect ratio of the screen.
[06:11] <rukuartic> dunklegend: No... cuz musicmatch is adware. We don't have that :P
[06:12] <pyrops> whats the program which supports iPODs ?
[06:12] <pyrops> called
[06:12] <rukuartic> dunklegend: try "apt-cache search id3 editor | less"
[06:12] <r3dragon> i hope everyone is doing great
[06:12] <r3dragon> my question is this..
[06:13] <dunklegend> rukuartic: cool
[06:13] <Supaplex> r3dragon: 42.
[06:13] <r3dragon> can firefox v2 coexist w/ firefox v1.5 on ubuntu 6.06 LTS
[06:13] <rukuartic> Night folks :)
[06:13] <Jordan_U> swuboo, I don't think that there is an option to do that currently ( but if you find a dev in #beryl they are very responsive to suggestions, they implemented my suggestion to prevent windows from seperating in 3D world when they spam 3+ desktops )
[06:13] <sailor_boy> ...............
[06:14] <MarkeH> r3dragon: i would assume so, if they are installed in different folders?
[06:14] <dn4> Does anyone know how to take a 900mb iso and turn that into a iso composed of two cds?
[06:14] <r3dragon> supaplex thanks for the fish
[06:14] <r3dragon> heh
[06:14] <swuboo> Jordan_U:  Alright.  I may do that then.  I'm glad you were able to figure out what the Hell it was that was bothering me.
[06:14] <Supaplex> :P
[06:14] <sailor_boy> asem
[06:14] <Supaplex> dn4: there's split, but they won't be cd's anymore.
[06:14] <swuboo> Jordan_U:  That was definitely it; the top and bottom are switching their long and short axes, and the entire 'cube' then induces nausea in me.
[06:14] <dn4> Supaplex: what would it be?
[06:15] <dunklegend> dn4: why don't you burn it to a dvd
[06:15] <Supaplex> dn4: two big files.
[06:15] <gr33npho3nix> anybody have any pointers? I setup a htpasswd and the AuthType, AuthName, AuthUserFile, and Require statements but i'm getting no passowrd box in apache its just taking me to the site
[06:16] <linuxnub> does anyone have a clue about SAMBA can help me set it up plz
[06:16] <dn4> dunklegend: I don't have a dvd burner or rom
[06:17] <Supaplex> !ask | linuxnub
[06:17] <ubotu> linuxnub: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:17] <linuxnub> i thought i did
[06:17] <Nergar> if i have a pci wireless card, but the driver that comes with ubuntu doesn't work well and i want to use ndiswrapper instead, what should i do?
[06:17] <linuxnub> 4 times now lol
[06:18] <Supaplex> linuxnub: yes, we all have a clue, but we're clueless to mind reading.
[06:18] <Jordan_U> linuxnub,  SAMBA server or client?
[06:18] <linuxnub> i need help configuring SAMBA so that my windows machine can access shares on ubuntu
[06:18] <Shang> Supaplex, lol...
[06:18] <anandanbu> does anybody know how to install the Gnome-Dock in Ubuntu 7.04
[06:19] <linuxnub> i have setup a shared folder on ubuntu but the windows machine cant access it
[06:19] <Supaplex> linuxnub: does the windows box prompt for a password when you access the share?
[06:19] <linuxnub> yes
[06:19] <Nergar> no one?
[06:19] <Supaplex> linuxnub: did you smbpassword <user> on the linux box?
[06:20] <linuxnub> sudo smbpasswd -a name fails to accept a password
[06:20] <tonyyarusso> !wifi | Nergar
[06:20] <ubotu> Nergar: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[06:20] <Supaplex> linuxnub: how does it reply?
[06:20] <xjkx> my mp4 player (a hardware such as ipod, which isnt popular all over the world, but you can guess an ipod) understands a amv format, ok, i couldnt find an avi to amv converter, but what about play? I have w32codecs/mplayer and i cant play

[06:21] <MarkeH> Right, gotta boot back into windoze hell, cya's later :(
[06:21] <pyrops> vlc
[06:21] <Supaplex> linuxnub: just failed. no reason why? Is the same user in /etc/passwd ?
[06:21] <dougie> Jordan_U, is there a guide to install from a usb hard drive?
[06:21] <linuxnub> dont know about /etc/passwd
[06:21] <Jordan_U> !install | dougie
[06:21] <ubotu> dougie: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

[06:22] <Chicory> I installed 7.04 on a VGN-N230E, and it works fine -- but my Fn key bindings are screwed up.
[06:22] <Supaplex> linuxnub: what user are you changing the smbpassword for?
[06:22] <Chicory> How can I change my Fn key bindings back to normal?
[06:22] <godlygeek> Chicory: What are the function keys doing?
[06:23] <linuxnub> tried to setup a user from windows machine and it fails
[06:23] <Chicory> Namely, uh, for some reason volume-up and volume-down are doing their job -- but for the microphone.
[06:23] <linuxnub> i mean a user of windows machine
[06:23] <Chicory> Considering that it worked just earlier today and I have yet to know how to so much as configure it in the first place?  It's a bit confusing.
[06:24] <DLB|Maximus> i guess i wont mess with xfontsel again, i hope it didnt trash my gnome, locked my laptop hard.....
[06:24] <godlygeek> Chicory: Uh... i don't run gnome, at the moment, but in the preference menus in the gnome panel, there's an audio preferences or something like that, where you can change the channel that the buttons adjust...  That's the best i can do off the top of my head...
[06:24] <Chicory> Inexplicably.
[06:24] <Malachi> I'm having trouble streaming AVI files from the internet.
[06:24] <Nergar> tonyyarusso, it didn't help
[06:24] <dougie> Jordan_U do you know if that syslink thing will work with hard drives?
[06:24] <Chicory> ...
[06:24] <Chicory> godlygeek, thank you.
[06:25] <Nergar> i need to blacklist a driver and use ndiswrapper, anyone know how?
[06:25] <Chicory> It was a stray click that screwed it all up.
[06:25] <Chicory> Thank you for clearing that up!
[06:25] <Grirahan> I need help.
[06:26] <Defian> Whats the problem, Grirahan?
[06:26] <Grirahan> I am trying to connect to a linksys router thorugh wireless with Ubuntu, and it doesn't find it at all.
[06:26] <godlygeek> Chicory: no problem.
[06:26] <Jordan_U> dougie, I believe so, yes
[06:26] <tom_kelleher> Greetings all, I just installed 7.04 and all seems well. I just have a few issues I'd like some help with if somebody could help. Restricted Drivers, my graphics driver doesn't seem to want to install via the Restricted Drivers Manager. Second Ubuntu seems to boot slowly, any way to speed that up? Lastly, Grub how can I fix it to boot Windows also.
[06:27] <Defian> ahhh... wireless.. sorry, I don't have any experience there. All my stuff is wired. :\ sorry
[06:27] <Grirahan> That's ok
[06:27] <Grirahan> Does anyone here know anything about wireless with Ubuntu?
[06:27] <Chicory> Er ...
[06:27] <tom_kelleher> Grirahan: what you looking for?
[06:27] <Chicory> Mine always worked out of the box because I selected for Ubuntu in mind.  Xd;;;
[06:28] <Grirahan> I'm looking to connect to the wireless network here at my house, and it doesn't see the network in the list.
[06:28] <Jordan_U> tom_kelleher, To get Grub to boot windows also you *should* just have to run "sudo update-grub" and it should detect that you have windows and add an entry to boot it
[06:28] <tom_kelleher> Grirahan: are you using 7.04
[06:28] <Grirahan> yes
[06:28] <godlygeek> Grirahan: do you not what the name of your interface is?  ath0 or wlan0 or eth0 or eth1...?
[06:28] <Grirahan> eth1
[06:29] <godlygeek> Grirahan: from a terminal, try 'iwlist eth1 scan' and see if it's listed in the results
[06:29] <Grirahan> no scan results
[06:29] <orbin> Nergar: how far have you gotten?
[06:29] <godlygeek> and, if you do 'iwconfig', the only interface listed with wireless extensions is 'eth1'?
[06:30] <godlygeek> ^to Grirahan
[06:30] <Grirahan> yes
[06:30] <tom_kelleher> Jordan_U: did the sudo, that should fix my problem? the terminal didn't say anything about any new boot options
[06:30] <eli_reu> i was updating my sources.list file and was having some trouble with something.  can someone help me out?  usinf feisty
[06:30] <PrimoTurbo> Can compiling a custom kernel increase the overall speed of ubuntu?
[06:30] <eli_reu> 'using feisty, i mean
[06:30] <Nergar> orbin, no where, i just installed feisty and i have no interet
[06:30] <Toma-> PrimoTurbo, by a few ms at boot, maybe.
[06:30] <Nergar> so no new packages or anything
[06:31] <owh> eli_reu: Trouble with what specifically?
[06:31] <godlygeek> Grirahan: Anything unique about the router?  For instance, some routers let you set them up to not broadcast beacons for security... that can stop them from being automatically found...
[06:31] <PrimoTurbo> Toma: what about overall performance of GUI?
[06:31] <PrimoTurbo> I feel my GUI even under XFCE underperforms
[06:31] <Grirahan> Not that I know of. It's a Linksys Wireless-G Router.
[06:31] <Jordan_U> tom_kelleher, That should add it but at the same time it should have checked if you had windows installed when you installed Ubuntu and added the entry then, so I don't know if it will work
[06:31] <orbin> Nergar: what card/chipset?
[06:31] <Toma-> PrimoTurbo, put it this way, the speed difference will not offset the amount of time spent trying to compile one.
[06:31] <PrimoTurbo> feels slugish compared to Windows
[06:31] <PrimoTurbo> how long does it take to compile?
[06:31] <owh> PrimoTurbo: Likely the difference is the video drivers you are using.
[06:31] <Nergar> orbin, i know how to use ndiswrapper but my feisty already comes with a driver for my card (RaLink) but it doesn't work well
[06:32] <Toma-> PrimoTurbo, unless you use your computer for a few thousand years
[06:32] <eli_reu> owh: i added this line (deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org etch main) to the sources list, and when i tried to do apt-get update it said that the following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not avilable
[06:32] <godlygeek> Grirahan: do you know the SSID?  and does the router have any security turned on?
[06:32] <eli_reu> owh: i also added the same line with deb-src after that
[06:32] <Toma-> PrimoTurbo, surprisingly long. not to mention the amount of times you will mess it up, and read docs
[06:32] <tom_kelleher> Jordan_U: I hope it found it, I had Vista installed when I installed 7.04 so I'm surprised it didn't find it.
[06:32] <PrimoTurbo> I am using the ATI restricted drivers I can run doom3/quake4 with slightly lower fps then Windows
[06:32] <Grirahan> yes, I know the ID, and there's no security on it.
[06:32] <owh> PrimoTurbo: In addition, you might also have a challenge with disk access speed. Neither of which are likely solved by a re-compile of the kernel.
[06:32] <Jordan_U> eli_reu, You can't use Debian repositories in Ubuntu
[06:32] <PrimoTurbo> aproximatley how long?
[06:32] <lg8> Hi
[06:32] <Toma-> PrimoTurbo, there are ways to make it more responsive than ripping the engine out
[06:32] <crdlb> PrimoTurbo: those drivers suck
[06:32] <lg8> secret
[06:32] <eli_reu> JOrdan_U really?
[06:33] <PrimoTurbo> what are better drivers to use for a 9700 Pro?
[06:33] <godlygeek> Grirahan: and are you sure that your card supports 802.11G?  ;)  (that is, does it work in windows, hehe?)
[06:33] <crdlb> PrimoTurbo: I don't think their 2d acceleration is very good
[06:33] <Toma-> PrimoTurbo, what speed CPU do you have?
[06:33] <PrimoTurbo> 1.6Ghz p4
[06:33] <orbin> Nergar: find out which module you need to blacklist, add a relevant line in /etc/modprobe/blacklist.d , then do all the ndiswrapper stuff.
[06:33] <Grirahan> yes, it does
[06:33] <eli_reu> Jordan_U: oops
[06:33] <Nergar> orbin, RaLink RT2561/RT61
[06:33] <owh> eli_reu: For starters, as Jordan_U points out, Debian repositories don't often work under Ubuntu. Also, running Edgy stuff under Feisty is asking for problems.
[06:33] <Toma-> PrimoTurbo, about 3 hrs id say + 3 or so hours making it compile correctly
[06:33] <crdlb> PrimoTurbo: I'd personally use the free drivers (that came with ubuntu), but their performance in games will be worse
[06:33] <orbin> Nergar: sorry - /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[06:33] <Jordan_U> eli_reu, Yes, they are not binary compatible ( neither are any other debian derivatives
[06:33] <Nergar> orbin, thats my question, how do i find which module to blacklist?
[06:34] <owh> eli_reu: The actual error you see is because likely the repository isn't signed. However, I have not actually looked into the specifics of checking how that is actually achieved.
[06:34] <PrimoTurbo> I used the free drivers but they are slower in video and games a lot slower
[06:34] <dougie> Jordan_U ok well it didn't like the usb thumb drive but it likes the hard drive :) but now its missing files...
[06:34] <godlygeek> Grirahan: alright, so, try, in a terminal, 'sudo iwconfig eth1 essid NETWORKID ; sudo dhclient eth1'
[06:34] <PrimoTurbo> and there is no difference between them and ATI restricted that i notice, both feel a little slugish
[06:34] <eli_reu> Jordan_U: nice.  thanks for the tip.  i'm still pretty new at this.  been using edgy for about a month, updgraded to feisty and couldn't get it to work, so i did a clean install today, and it's running better
[06:34] <PrimoTurbo> Windows XP is so responsive when compared against
[06:34] <Jordan_U> dougie, What do you mean missing files?
[06:34] <ed1t> i just installed Banshee music player, it wont any songs, it says no codec found...
[06:35] <ed1t> which codec do i need?
[06:35] <dougie> it said it couldn't find /install./vm or something
[06:35] <PrimoTurbo> However I used a full fledged KDE desktop under Vector Linux and it feels faster then XP
[06:35] <owh> PrimoTurbo: As I said, it could also be drive speed. That is, your disks are being accessed via 16 bit without DMA for example.
[06:35] <PrimoTurbo> using XFCE now and it feel slugish
[06:35] <PrimoTurbo> how do I enable DMA?
[06:35] <PrimoTurbo> or check if it's enabled?
[06:35] <dougie> Jordan_U i know why though
[06:35] <Toma-> PrimoTurbo, there are alot of performance settings that might be disabled
[06:35] <Grirahan> ok, I got something
[06:35] <Toma-> PrimoTurbo, hdparm
[06:35] <owh> PrimoTurbo: You will need to do some specific testing to check what is causing your grief.
[06:35] <PrimoTurbo> what is hdparm
[06:36] <owh> PrimoTurbo: It's a command.
[06:36] <PrimoTurbo> and are there any good guides I can read something not too technical I'm a little new
[06:36] <godlygeek> Grirahan: got something?
[06:36] <Toma-> PrimoTurbo, its a tool that shows that paramaters, like DMA are set on a particular drive
[06:36] <ed1t> what codecs do i need to play .mp3 song in Banshee?
[06:36] <Jordan_U> dougie, Try this guide, it is overkill for just installing but it's more up to date it seems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[06:36] <Grirahan> yes, it bounded itself to an IP
[06:36] <ed1t> my .mp3's are stored on a ntfs partition
[06:36] <dougie> Jordan_U nah this one will work i just have to edit the syslinux.cfg a little more :)
[06:36] <PrimoTurbo> hdparm in terminal shows me a ton of options anything specific I should check to see if dma is on?
[06:36] <owh> PrimoTurbo: I understand what you really want is for Ubuntu to work in every situation "out of the box". Unfortunately that's not yet the case. Getting better each day.
[06:37] <orbin> Nergar: possibly hunt through dmesg.  my guess is it's called rt<something>
[06:37] <PrimoTurbo> owh: I dont mind tweaking I just need to know how
[06:37] <eli_reu> anyone know of any sources i should add to my sources list for a fresh installation of feisty?
[06:37] <owh> PrimoTurbo: You should do a man command like this: man hdparm. The actual command you likely need is hdparm -i /dev/{drive}
[06:37] <PrimoTurbo> I'm not even using a lot of CPU and Ram and I get decent 3d performance
[06:37] <Shaner> hey i have i quick question i just downlaoded ubuntu and put it on a cd all i want to do is try it out and not switch over permently how would i do that
[06:38] <strabes> just boot from it
[06:38] <crdlb> shan: just boot the cd
[06:38] <godlygeek> Grirahan: no idea how to make gnome do that automatically, though.  i'm not exactly a gnome person, ;), so at present, you'd need to type that command each time you logged in.
[06:38] <owh> PrimoTurbo: There are literally hundreds of things that might cause things to slow down. What we're talking about is investigating those, so we don't just attempt to help you with "It's not working, can you fix it for me?"
[06:38] <odat> anyone know how you get mplayer to work with streamtuner?
[06:38] <Jordan_U> eli_reu, I never need anything more than universe and multiverse, both of which can be added in System -> Administration -> Software-sources
[06:38] <odat> it doesn't like the urls
[06:38] <Nergar> thnx orbin
[06:38] <shan> just on the start up ok ill try that thanks
[06:38] <crdlb> shan: as long as you got the "desktop cd"
[06:38] <PrimoTurbo> owh: okay np what can I read to figure some possible ways to fix it?
[06:39] <orbin> Nergar: running lsmod may help too
[06:39] <asc> anybody know in mplayer can utilize multiple cores?
[06:39] <godlygeek> Grirahan: i'd recommend checking out the router's settings and see if it has an option called 'don't broadcast essid' or 'don't send beacons' or something like that turned on.
[06:39] <shan> whats the desktop cd
[06:39] <Nergar> thnx for the suggestions orbin
[06:39] <strabes> shan: it's the default CD
[06:39] <Jordan_U> eli_reu, And you should be careful about adding a bunch of random sources, not all of them are maintained well :)
[06:39] <ed1t> what codecs do i need to play .mp3 song in Banshee?
[06:40] <shan> alll i have is the cd i just made from the downlaod ontheir dite
[06:40] <strabes> ed1t: just install ubuntu-restricted-extras or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[06:40] <shan> site*
[06:40] <owh> PrimoTurbo: Well, google is a good start. Look for your motherboard and issues with it. Also, things that can slow you down are running an 32-bit version whilst you're running a 64-bit CPU. Not enough RAM, disks too full, no swap allocated, drive access as we discussed, the wrong video driver or driver version.
[06:40] <strabes> shan: you sholud be fine then
[06:40] <shan> ok thanks
[06:40] <strabes> Shan
[06:40] <owh> PrimoTurbo: Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to fob you off.
[06:40] <pyrohotdog> Just plugged in my NTFS external drive, mounted fine, but it claims to be a read only device?
[06:41] <Jordan_U> ed1t, Try opening an mp3 in movie player, it will automatically install the needed codecs
[06:41] <owh> PrimoTurbo: The question you asked is too big to troubleshoot without some work on your end.
[06:41] <Jordan_U> !ntfs-3g | pyrohotdog
[06:41] <ubotu> pyrohotdog: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[06:41] <pyrohotdog> ntfs-3g is already installed.
[06:42] <strabes> pyrohotdog: you need to mount it as ntfs-3g filesystem
[06:42] <owh> PrimoTurbo: There could also be issues with device interrupts, broken USB devices, network drivers, to name just a few things :)
[06:42] <Jordan_U> pyrohotdog, install ntfs-config
[06:42] <pyrohotdog> strabes: sudo mount -t ntfs-3g ?
[06:42] <Griraha1> godlygeek, you there?
[06:42] <strabes> pyrohotdog: and then the /dev location and then the mount location
[06:43] <tarelerulz> the ntfs-config is great tool
[06:43] <Jordan_U> pyrohotdog, If you install ntfs-config it will automatically mount NTFS drives RW
[06:43] <Griraha1> My wireless is working now. Thank you so much.
[06:43] <strabes> pyrohotdog: yeah just do that
[06:43] <pyrohotdog> Jordan_U: thanks, installing now!
[06:43] <tarelerulz> it make so you don't have to mount it every time . It auto mount ntfs
[06:43] <pyrohotdog> thanks guys, another bump in the road quickly eliminated.
[06:44] <owh> Anyone else got any suggestions to hand over to PrimoTurbo with a "sluggish" machine?
[06:44] <strabes> owh: use openbox
[06:44] <Jordan_U> pyrohotdog, Once installed you can go to Applications -> System Tools -> NTFS config   to toggle RW for NTFS on and off
[06:44] <tarelerulz> I feel you on that pyrohotdog . I have all my movie and song on my ntfs partitioni
[06:44] <PrimoTurbo> dma is on, hda2, hda5, hdc everywhere I get using_dma    =  1 (on)
[06:44] <pyrohotdog> tarelerulz: ha, exactly. :)
[06:44] <Toma-> PrimoTurbo, have you got prelinking turned on?
[06:45] <owh> PrimoTurbo: What about 16 bit?
[06:45] <strabes> blasphemy!!! I installed ntfs-config in kde and it's not running
[06:45] <strabes> oh, it needs to be run as root
[06:45] <foxiness> is there a way to reload hal ?
[06:45] <PrimoTurbo> I dont know about prelinking no idea what u mean by 16bit
[06:45] <owh> PrimoTurbo: In hdparm, 16 bit access, is it on?
[06:45] <connorp> How can I install ver. 2.8 of evolution (and its -dev packages) through apt get? I'm trying  sudo apt-get install -t edgy-security evolution=2.8.1-0ubuntu4.1 but it's not workin :)
[06:46] <tarelerulz> any of you install non-free flash player for Konqueror and have it not work
[06:46] <PrimoTurbo> is there a command to check?
[06:46] <tom_kelleher> Grub is still giving me some issues, any body know what I can do to put Vista back on it?
[06:46] <PrimoTurbo> I use sudo /sbin/hdparm /dev/hda5 | grep dma it only tells me about dma
[06:46] <Toma-> PrimoTurbo, prelinking is not needed in feisty, sorry
[06:46] <owh> connorp: From memory you need to drop the -0ubuntu4.1 from that command, but I may be wrong.
[06:46] <PrimoTurbo> yeah I read that before Toma, thats what I was thinking
[06:46] <owh> PrimoTurbo: hdparm -c /dev/hda5
[06:47] <connorp> tom_kelleher, follow MS Safe Practices and simply wipe your HD, install vista, then if you still want Ubuntu, install Ubuntu after you install Vista
[06:47] <Defian> Can I get some help with UT2004? it won't start...
[06:47] <PrimoTurbo> I get /dev/hda2:
[06:47] <PrimoTurbo>  IO_support   =  0 (default 16-bit)
[06:47] <PrimoTurbo> which means now
[06:47] <PrimoTurbo> no*
[06:47] <tom_kelleher> I would normaly do that connorp. but at this time that isnt an option
[06:48] <connorp> Defian, what does $ glxinfo |grep direct give you?
[06:48] <connorp> sorry "glxinfo |grep direct"
[06:48] <happyguy> hi
[06:48] <connorp> tom_kelleher, ok, whats your grub error?
[06:48] <owh> PrimoTurbo: What do you get for hdparm -tT /dev/hda5
[06:48] <Defian> heh, thats not the issue. buuuut... direct rendering: Yes
[06:48] <tom_kelleher> connorp: Vista just isnt on it, thats my problem
[06:48] <connorp> Defian, does your UT2004 command have a -v or --verbose?
[06:48] <Defian> No
[06:49] <PrimoTurbo> hda5 is swap let me check hda2 first
[06:49] <tarelerulz> I have weird problem . I can't get firefox it run in command line or anything else and I install it with adept and I don't get error.
[06:49] <connorp> tom_kelleher, 1s, I'll grab somethin for you :)

[06:49] <PrimoTurbo> I'm running firefox, terminal, xfce, azuerues, xchat
[06:49] <owh> PrimoTurbo: What kind of machine is this?
[06:50] <PrimoTurbo> Pentium 4 - 1.6Ghz - 768 DDR RAM - PowerColor 9700 Pro 128MB 8 Pipelines
[06:50] <eshaase> my system freezes once every few days and I notice a strange noise that happens everytime (I'm assuming its a broken harddrive as /var/log/messages indicates errors with /dev/hda and /dev/hdc). So I was told to checkout smartmontools which I've used to run three different tests (offline, short and long) on both harddrives and I'm getting no errors, don't know how to further debug this issue, any ideas?
[06:51] <connorp> ok, tom_kelleher, describe your partition map
[06:51] <owh> PrimoTurbo: What kin of drive?
[06:51] <connorp> Defian, try $ aoss ut2004command
[06:52] <tom_kelleher> connorp: SDA1 Ubuntu, SDA2 10GB Storage Partition, SDA3 Windows Vitsa, SDA4 1024 Swap.
[06:52] <drwxr-xr-x> how do i keep pictures from http://tamalozosbigass.blogspot.com/ from appearing in my firefox?
[06:52] <connorp> tom_kelleher, I'll create a grub entry for you, 10 sec :)
[06:52] <PrimoTurbo> kin of drive not sure what u mean but it's a WD 250GB
[06:52] <PrimoTurbo> not Sata but the other one
[06:52] <tom_kelleher> connorp: thanks your the best

[06:53] <Defian> connorp, exec: 13: ut2004command: not found
[06:53] <foxiness> if i want to reload/restart hal ,did i need to restart dbus or udev?
[06:53] <emss> grammar police!
[06:53] <strabes> Referring to yourself in the third person are we? You need a beating.
[06:53] <connorp> Defian, sorry :D I meant put in your path to ut2004 :)
[06:54] <owh> PrimoTurbo: Ok, the timing you're showing us seems a little slow. Can you use pastebin to paste the output of hdparm -I /dev/hda (that's a capital i)
[06:54] <connorp> so, perhaps $ aoss ut2004 ?
[06:54] <owh> !pastebin
[06:54] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)

[06:56] <PrimoTurbo> k
[06:56] <Defian> when i search around about this error.. it's usually what happens when they get a crash of sorts
[06:56] <PrimoTurbo> i used the ca version
[06:56] <Defian> atleast it has more of a message then
[06:56] <PrimoTurbo> http://pastebin.ca/482187
[06:56] <Defian> all i get is :
[06:56] <tarelerulz> I just keep trying to update it . I had the problem myself
[06:57] <asc> strabes: Know what's even better? I actually got that error once.
[06:57] <strabes> wow
[06:57] <happyguy> well i've had the problem for several weeks now
[06:57] <happyguy> :-(
[06:57] <happyguy> any time of the day or night
[06:57] <strabes> happyguy: pastebin the error you get or what it says
[06:57] <happyguy> i'm just determined to find the problem instead of re-installing

[06:58] <tarelerulz> I have do many problem with my Kubuntu install I am going to do fresh install.
[06:58] <happyguy> is a forum link good enough?
[06:58] <tom_kelleher> connorp: no problem at all, I appreciate the help.
[06:58] <PrimoTurbo> I tried it again with some stuff closed
[06:58] <strabes> happyguy: that's crazy. it's like you're behind a proxy or something

[06:58] <happyguy> note that i can access the sites fine in firefox
[06:59] <strabes> happyguy: do you have any special connection settings in ff?
[06:59] <strabes> happyguy: you might need to set some environment variables in ~/.bashrc or something
[06:59] <tarelerulz> I think this happyguy. I think sometime stuff don't work for any good reason. I have to just do fresh install a lot
[06:59] <happyguy> um, i think i disabled ipv6 a long time ago
[06:59] <happyguy> ok what should i try?
[06:59] <connorp> tom_kelleher, haha found it :) I couldn't remember the name of th emap command
[06:59] <strabes> happyguy: do you have any special connection settings in ff?
[07:00] <tom_kelleher> connorp: the problem was, I messed up the MBR I believe and now Vista is just hanging out like a looser on my HDD
[07:00] <connorp> tom_kelleher, can you still boot Ubuntu?
[07:00] <happyguy> strabes: i don't think i have any special settings other than disabled ipv6
[07:00] <tom_kelleher> connorp: on it now.
[07:00] <strabes> tom_kelleher: just add a vista entry to your /boot/grub/menu.lst
[07:00] <Defian> tra la la la la...!
[07:00] <strabes> happyguy: weird. i have ipv6 disabled as well
[07:00] <happyguy> when i boot from a live cd i can update fine
[07:01] <happyguy> but when i chmod into my system, i can't
[07:01] <owh> Hmm, PrimoTurbo, the settings appear normal. Can you paste the output with a lower-case i, that is hdparm -i /dev/hda, I still cannot see what might give you that slow speed.
[07:01] <connorp> tom_kelleher, your MBR is fine, I'm happy to say :D just your grub boot list is changed
[07:01] <tarelerulz> I had windows just not work . Then one day it just started working right.
[07:01] <tom_kelleher> connorp: phew... I've messed up the MBR before that's not fun.
[07:02] <strabes> tom_kelleher: just add a vista entry to your /boot/grub/menu.lst
[07:02] <happyguy> strabes: any idea what environmeent variables i should set?
[07:02] <PrimoTurbo> http://pastebin.ca/482195
[07:02] <PrimoTurbo> reuslt of -i
[07:02] <tom_kelleher> connorp: by chance will this get of that "Press ESC to open the boot menu" thing before it boots Ubuntu
[07:03] <strabes> happyguy: i was thinking along the lines of proxy type things but since you don't have any then I have no idea
[07:03] <yurimxpxman> how can I access the menu bar in GNU Emacs?
[07:03] <tom_kelleher> strabes: connorp has been kind enough to type up a fix for my problem, thank you though.
[07:03] <connorp> tom_kelleher, $ sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[07:03] <owh> PrimoTurbo: Hmm, there are two udma3 to udma5 entries in line 13 of that post.
[07:03] <connorp> tom_kelleher, I can remove that too :)
[07:04] <PrimoTurbo> what does it mean?
[07:04] <connorp> tom_kelleher, now that you have the menu.lst open, put a # before hiddenmenu
[07:04] <tom_kelleher> connorp: sudo'd and opened the list
[07:04] <owh> PrimoTurbo: Only that it's something I've never seen.
[07:04] <happyguy> strabes: wow, i sure wish i had some clue as to how to fix it, i'm just not willing to re-install it without a fight.  that's not how an operating system is supposed to wrk, reinstalling every couple weeks
[07:04] <happyguy> at least not imho
[07:04] <connorp> tom_kelleher, now, add the following text to the bottom :) http://pastebin.ca/482196
[07:05] <happyguy> anybody have a clue how to re-install apt or synaptic?
[07:05] <happyguy> would that possibly fix my update problems?
[07:05] <strabes> happyguy: i did that for like the first month but after a few months you learn how to not break your system, just like with windows
[07:05] <tom_kelleher> connorp: thats it?
[07:05] <andres> \join #mexico
[07:06] <strabes> happyguy: just back up your home folder and format
[07:06] <strabes> happyguy: it takes maybe an hour
[07:06] <PrimoTurbo> owh: any suggestions? unlikley it's hard drive? I don't think it's the video card either. But I did notice that no matter what settings I get 25FPS in doom3 most of the time in the timedemo
[07:06] <connorp> tom_kelleher, should be! if you still cant boot, just boot back into Ubuntu, and ask here again. If my rootnoverify doesnt work, play with that :)
[07:06] <phorsaken> finally a distro where my wireless works right out of the box
[07:06] <PrimoTurbo> around 30-35 under windows
[07:06] <happyguy> strabes: yeah, i guess you're right... i hope it's just something i need to learn
[07:06] <connorp> tom_kelleher, but it certainly won't kill your system, so nothing to worry about there :)
[07:06] <dougie> how do i figure out what my hard drive is mounted under?
[07:06] <strabes> happyguy: something like your problem never happened to me though. the frustrating part is that it's probably some boolean variable in some config file somewhere
[07:07] <owh> PrimoTurbo: Well, from this page: http://forums.storagereview.net/index.php?showtopic=22131 I see that your drive has an 8Mb cache, so technically you should be able to set it to read chunks of that size. Not sure if that would significantly improve things.
[07:07] <tom_kelleher> connorp: great I'll reboot and let you know, thanks.
[07:07] <PrimoTurbo> but it's probally because the cpu is underpowered for doom3
[07:07] <connorp> tom_kelleher, see you soon :)
[07:07] <dougie> i need to mount it as a cdrom for the installer to continue
[07:07] <connorp> dougie, which installer?
[07:07] <dougie> Ubuntu Feisty
[07:07] <dougie> i'm installing from a USB Hard drive
[07:07] <PrimoTurbo> owh: my cpu goes to 100% when I do any visual tasks like when I move a window across the sceen
[07:07] <owh> PrimoTurbo: So, on your things to investigate, you can add, the drive access speed. Over to the next thing. Have you done any graphics speed tests?
[07:07] <PrimoTurbo> screen*
[07:08] <connorp> dougie, so you're booting off of a USB HD, and attempting to install to a local HD on a Desktop/Laptop
[07:08] <PrimoTurbo> yes I have I get around 20-25 fps in doom3 timedemo demo1
[07:08] <owh> PrimoTurbo: That's not normally what I would expect.
[07:08] <happyguy> strabes: yeah i hear ya, it's been frustrating searching for solutions becuz searching for "re-install synaptic" just turns up lots of stuff about installing with synaptic.... duh
[07:08] <dougie> connorp, yes thats correct
[07:08] <owh> PrimoTurbo: 100% cpu on screen movement I mean.
[07:08] <dougie> connorp, the guide i'm useing says to mount it as a cdrom drive when it comes up saying that it can't mount the cdrom
[07:08] <connorp> oh, I see! ok
[07:09] <dougie> connorp, but i'm not sure what the installer see's my ext usb hard drive as
[07:09] <dougie> connorp, on here its /dev/sdb1
[07:09] <dougie> but that doesn't seem to be right for the installer
[07:09] <connorp> dougie, try "$ sudo mkdir -p /mnt/ubuntu & mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/ubuntu"
[07:09] <ruben> hello
[07:09] <strabes> happyguy: forget about synaptic, it's just a front end. you could aptitude -purge apt-get and then reinstall it or something. I'd be careful though.
[07:09] <TtyS3> hi
[07:10] <PrimoTurbo> owh: my bad it's more like 60% cpu load when I very quickly drag a file browser window across the screen in circles similar stuff happens in XP
[07:10] <connorp> dougie, are you using a SATA, SCSI, or ATA harddrive for your destination HD?
[07:10] <dougie> it doesn't have linux installed yet
[07:10] <dougie> sata
[07:10] <happyguy> what's the diff between aptitude and apt-get?  i know i read  it somewhere but i forget
[07:10] <connorp> dougie, right, what I'm doing is creating a folder in the temp memory to mount your harddrive into
[07:10] <ruben> satan
[07:10] <owh> PrimoTurbo: That sound normal.
[07:10] <TtyS3> how do i compare the checksum on a file against the checksum given online when using md5
[07:10] <eli_reu> where do i find and install GLib 2.0 development headers?
[07:10] <PrimoTurbo> yeah I think so
[07:10] <owh> PrimoTurbo: While this document is written for Gentoo, have a look through it. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/dri-howto.xml
[07:10] <dougie> are you sure it see's it as hda1?
[07:11] <connorp> dougie, make that folder, then try $ sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/ubuntu
[07:11] <connorp> dougie, no, I wasnt sure, I was assuming you had an ATA harddrive, but try sda1 for a scsi harddrive
[07:11] <strabes> dougie: with sudo mkdir /mnt/ubuntu
[07:11] <PrimoTurbo> I think I better record a demo and show a comparison between xp and ubuntu speed wise
[07:11] <NemesisD> have any of you successfully set up phpgroupware before?
[07:12] <connorp> NemesisD, stop what you're doing right now and go here: http://zimbra.com
[07:12] <connorp> :d
[07:12] <Defian> I get the feeling i'm never gonna get this problem fixed.
[07:12] <owh> PrimoTurbo: Well, I'm not sure if that will actually help. Likely you're experiencing a configuration issue.
[07:12] <connorp> NemesisD, Zimbra is a fantastic groupware system, its opensource, and easy to manage
[07:12] <NemesisD> and why is it better than phpgroupware?
[07:12] <owh> Defian: I've been doing something else, can you give me a 30 second rundown you your challenges?
[07:12] <PrimoTurbo> maybe it's in my head I just like things very very fast
[07:12] <connorp> NemesisD, check out their hosted demo, see for yourself :)
[07:13] <Defian> owh sure, one moment
[07:13] <owh> PrimoTurbo: Perhaps you should gather some actual evidence first.
[07:13] <dougie> i don't have to use sudo in here i don't think
[07:13] <connorp> NemesisD, http://www.zimbra.com/products/hosted_demo.php
[07:13] <Defian> owh http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=439634 here, the first post sums it all up.
[07:13] <tarelerulz> I still seem to have two differrent firefox on my computer
[07:13] <dougie> but it keeps saying no such file or directory
[07:14] <tarelerulz> I can't run firefox
[07:14] <connorp> dougie, installing from CD would be a lot easier. is there a particular reason you're going from harddrive?
[07:14] <PrimoTurbo> this is under windows but the program used to record slow me down quite a bit it's a bit faster than that there is frames skipped like the window movement is faster in reality
[07:14] <PrimoTurbo> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPhbHp7WhGg
[07:15] <owh> Defian: Well, the first thing to do is run it using strace, it might take a little while but it should give you some clues: strace ut2004-bin
[07:15] <dougie> my cdrom drive is broke
[07:15] <dougie> lol
[07:15] <tom_kelleher> connorp: alas, it didn't work
[07:15] <Defian> ohw, i've got plenty of time.
[07:15] <NemesisD> connorp, does it do tasks? thats the main reason why i was looking at phpgroupware, we are trying to eliminate outlook tasks for something more group oriented
[07:15] <owh> Defian: That won't fix it, but it will show you what is happening.
[07:15] <dougie> connorp, cdrom drive broken
[07:15] <connorp> dougie, ooh :S darn... well, if you can't get sudo to work, I'm sorry, but I can't help. good luck :)
[07:15] <foxiness> my system cannot mount any new device auto anymore,can one guide me how can i fix it to work normal again ?
[07:15] <Defian> owh, it's done already
[07:16] <dougie> connorp, its the install cd...you don't have to use sudo
[07:16] <owh> Defian: Pastebin the result.
[07:16] <connorp> dougie, to mount an HD, like you requested, you need to have root priveleges
[07:16] <Defian> owh, i'm not sure what you mean by that
[07:16] <connorp> NemesisD, 1s :) I'd love to talk to you about this
[07:16] <connorp> tom_kelleher, what was the error?
[07:16] <owh> !pastebin > Defian
[07:16] <dougie> connorp, yeah on the install cd you automatically have root permissions
[07:16] <musya> i uninstalled kubuntu desktop from my ubuntu machine but i still got the kde programs how can i get rid of them all?
[07:17] <^BeLLo^> some one can help me with irssi?
[07:17] <tom_kelleher> connorp: there really wasnt an error, just stayed on "starting up . . ."
[07:17] <dougie> connorp, i'm not on the live cd its the alternate cd
[07:17] <connorp> dougie, have you double-clicked the installer?
[07:17] <tarelerulz> I run firefox and I don't get anything plus I don't see errors
[07:17] <connorp> tom_kelleher, hmm, let me look up an alternate config
[07:17] <NemesisD> connorp, ls?
[07:18] <connorp> NemesisD, 1s = 1 second = 1 second please :D
[07:18] <tom_kelleher> connorp: I may not have given you the correct address of the Vista partition
[07:18] <Defian> owh http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20293/ here ya go
[07:18] <NemesisD> ohhhh
[07:18] <Matrix9> I just installed, Ubuntu Server 7.04 in vmware 6.0, how come it boots to a command line version and not a graphical? is this by default? or did ubuntu not detect a proper graphics card with vmware?
[07:18] <NemesisD> why does l look so much like 1 on here >:|
[07:18] <musya> anyone?
[07:19] <NemesisD> sweet fancy jesus, zimbra looks fancy
[07:19] <musya> NemesisD: it doesnt.
[07:19] <stmiller> anyone know how to restore the ubuntu boot splash after compiling and installing your own kernel?
[07:19] <musya> must be just your system
[07:19] <dougie> ok i'm downloading the live cd will give it a try with that
[07:19] <NemesisD> musya, must be
[07:19] <connorp> NemesisD, what are your end clients using for clients? the only thing I DONT like about Zimbra is that it has a restrictive approach to Outlook and PocketPC. You have to pay to be able to use those products, but is otherwise open source. If you are looking for something for Outlook/PPC, I like Kolab+Funambol
[07:19] <stmiller> Matix9: Ubuntu server is for servers (no X)
[07:19] <strabes> stmiller: install ubuntu-desktop
[07:19] <musya> I uninstalled kubuntu desktop from my ubuntu machine but i still got the kde programs how can i get rid of them all?
[07:20] <stmiller> thanks strabes
[07:20] <connorp> tom_kelleher, ok, lets see
[07:20] <asc> Matrix9: The server edition doesn't come with a graphical display by default. You can try installing e.g. gnome-desktop, but that didn't work for me with server version when I tried.
[07:20] <Anon092321> this firefox is driving me nuts, I'm trying to access certain videos on a website that I've subscribed to, the videos are streaming, and the site charges per minute, how do I navigate ubuntu so I can select Reaplayer when Firefox prompts me what program I'd like to use to view the streaming video?
[07:20] <asc> Matrix9: That was with 6.06 though.
[07:20] <happyguy> strabes: i'm gonna restart in feisty and try to re-install apt, i'm in vista right now
[07:20] <NemesisD> connorp, wait is this easy to set up on a web host? all the computers in the office are windows and the best we have is our crappy web host and the access to a mysql 4.1 db :|
[07:21] <stmiller> musya: apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop kdebase
[07:21] <happyguy> so i might be back later, dunno
[07:21] <musya> Anon092321: is it porn?
[07:21] <Anon092321> yea musya lol
[07:21] <musya> stmiller: thanks ill try it
[07:21] <musya> Anon092321: you got to share
[07:21] <Anon092321> hahaha
[07:21] <Defian> owh, any thoughts?
[07:21] <Anon092321> i actually paid, get your own account! haha
[07:21] <owh> Defian, there is a lot of references to files missing. I have never run ut2004, nor do I know what it does or how it works, but the .ut2004 directory in your home directory appears to have stuff missing. Perhaps you could rename it, then try to launch it again.
[07:22] <connorp> NemesisD, the great part about Zimbra is that it has a nice 200mb binary installer that installs OpenLDAP, MySQL, PostFix, SpamAssasin, ClamAV etc. in less than 10 minutes, and automatically sets up with minimal user input. In other words, you're at a GUI webmin in less than 10 minutes, no futzing
[07:22] <Anon092321> na but seriously, can you let me know? on windows i'd just go c:/program files/realplayer and click the .exe
[07:22] <Anon092321> how does this work on linux?
[07:22] <happyguy> strabes: this is actually the first time i've ever used IRC, finally got XChat instead of trying to figure out how to do it in Gaim
[07:22] <happyguy> anyways, see ya
[07:22] <connorp> NemesisD, oh, I should say that you need at minimum a Ubuntu VPS to run this, or a local server at your office
[07:22] <musya> Anon092321: not sure
[07:22] <strabes> happyguy: yeah i'm not a fan of gaim's irc
[07:22] <Defian> owh, thanks, i'll do that.
[07:22] <musya> im sure there are plugins check the repos
[07:22] <stmiller> Anon: open a terminal and type realplay and hit enter. (Or realplayer)
[07:22] <strabes> happyguy: i use kde so i use konversation
[07:23] <dougie> how can i list hardware that is mounted?
[07:23] <tarelerulz> I love linux the mistery system.  I install something and it don't work and then you restart you computer and it works
[07:23] <connorp> NemesisD, it is a LOT of software. However, VPS's are very affordable these days. I'll link you to my ISP
[07:23] <happyguy> strabes: cool, i have that in gnome too
[07:23] <stmiller> dougie: type mount
[07:23] <Matrix9> asc, are you sure server version doesn't come with graphical display? whats up with that? even RHEL/Centos is graphical and that is the standard server distro. Can anyone confirm this?
[07:23] <connorp> NemesisD, I've had good luck with http://vpslink.com for my VPS's. Do you have CLI experience with linux?
[07:23] <NemesisD> connorp, maybe it would be a good idea to do it that way, but lemme ask this, does it install on windows or is it linux only, i don't know if they have people experienced with linux
[07:23] <strabes> happyguy: you might also want to try lostirc. it's a gnome app and back when i used gnome it was my favorite irc client
[07:23] <musya> well i uninstalled kubuntu-desktop
[07:23] <strabes> happyguy: i don't really remember why though
[07:23] <musya> so kubuntu-desktop kdebase doesnt work
[07:24] <dougie> stmiller, and can i find whats plugged into the usb ports?
[07:24] <Anon092321> well i understand how to open realplayer, i'm asking how do i get firefox to open the file by default when i click a link to a stream?
[07:24] <asdf> Hi all - Just did my 2cnd reload of Kubuntu - can't remember where I found driver in synaptics for my Nvidia GeForce 7300 GT - any help would be appreciated.....
[07:24] <musya> says kde base not installed
[07:24] <asc> Matrix9: How big was the .iso you downloaded? The gnome-desktop packages are something like 300 MB.
[07:24] <dougie> stmiller, remember i'm in console only lol
[07:24] <connorp> NemesisD, its Linux or Mac for the server, but the web interface and IMAP/POP is for any OS client
[07:24] <Massah> Hey guys, assuming Im installing console version of ubuntu, and I want to have Boot/Root/Swap partitions, what is the prefered size for Boot partition?
[07:24] <strabes> musya: you might have to aptitude -purge those packages instaed of just removing them
[07:24] <stmiller> dougie try typing dmesg in a terminal
[07:24] <musya> Anon092321: not sure it should do it right away
[07:24] <NemesisD> connorp, we really are mainly interested in having users be able to keep a task list that our manager can view at all times and edit, all employees will be local except maybe 1 remote employee (me)
[07:24] <connorp> tom_kelleher, where did I leave you, sorry
[07:24] <Anon092321> it asks me if i want to use "movie player"
[07:24] <Anon092321> or "save to disk"
[07:24] <musya> strabes: so aptitude-purge kdebase
[07:24] <connorp> NemesisD, do you already have a server for Domain Control?
[07:24] <musya> ? or the packages individually?
[07:24] <NemesisD> connorp, we won't really need the email part or the contacts even i don't think
[07:25] <tarelerulz> hay when you guys install a program does it just run right after you have it insatll. or do you have to restart to make the change stay
[07:25] <Anon092321> when i click "more" it gives me a filesystem to navigate, but i have no clue where to find the executable for realplayer
[07:25] <NemesisD> connorp, there are no local servers in the office as far as I know
[07:25] <strabes> musya: sudo aptitude purge kdebase kubuntu-desktop
[07:25] <NemesisD> connorp, but theres lots of parts to build one
[07:25] <musya> Anon092321: check for firefox plugins for real player or use media player on the site
[07:25] <asc> Matrix9: And yes, I'm pretty sure. You can run linux without a GUI, and it's been said that X isn't the single most secure program in existance.
[07:25] <musya> and install a media player plugin
[07:25] <connorp> NemesisD, if you're going to get paid (or at least get Kudos :D) I would build a nice 1GHZ sever with 512mb ram and try it out
[07:25] <noiesmo> Anon092321, its prob in /usr/bin/realplay
[07:25] <musya> oh and linux doesnt use .exe
[07:26] <Apeezee> Is there a reason why for some reason i can't edit my xorg.conf right now?
[07:26] <Apeezee> It only opens as read only
[07:26] <strabes> musya: by the way i don't have any idea if that will fix your problem. it was kind of a shot in the dark.
[07:26] <morphius_> What is xinputextension? It is causing kdm to crash when I vnc.
[07:26] <NemesisD> connorp, the scary thing is that its completely up to them, im in a different state and relegated to part-time status so I'm not building a gosh darn thing
[07:26] <musya> strabes: no packages to install/remove/upgrade
[07:26] <tom_kelleher> connorp: I think maybe I should try and find out the exact location of Vista, would that help?
[07:26] <musya> oh,ok
[07:26] <strabes> musya: forget it
[07:26] <Defian> owh, ah HA! thank you soooo very much
[07:26] <Matrix9> asc, the ISO is 504 MB.
[07:26] <tarelerulz> I am just asking what is the real windows exe and executable for linux?
[07:26] <musya> so i should probably just reinstall ubuntu huh?
[07:26] <NemesisD> connorp, we use commit CRM in the office and i'm trying to get some kudos for finding a free alternative to their stupid $180 outlook sync module
[07:26] <musya> they kinda bug me
[07:26] <connorp> tom_kelleher, yes, please :)
[07:27] <musya> being there
[07:27] <dougie> ok the device is /mnt/sdb but when i try and do mount /dev/sdb /mnt/ubuntu it outputs Invalid argument
[07:27] <StarScream> talisein: an executable file on linux has the +x bit set
[07:27] <StarScream> talisein: so if you do ls -la
[07:27] <owh> Defian, I'm guessing that it now works :)
[07:27] <musya> oh does anybody know what changes were affected on c libraries also on c++ libraries in ubuntu?
[07:27] <tarelerulz> I mean the real different between the exe format for window and  Linux  exacutebles
[07:27] <tom_kelleher> connorp: do you know how I can find the exact location from within Ubuntu or do I have to load Gparted or something
[07:27] <musya> i heard they did some wierd stuff with them
[07:27] <NemesisD> connorp, but about the tasks thing that i described, does that sound doable and easy to have an admin view/edit individual and group tasks (they also MUST have due dates, priorities, etc)
[07:27] <connorp> tom_kelleher, yeah, 1s
[07:27] <strabes> dougie: used /dev/sdb1
[07:27] <strabes> use*
[07:27] <StarScream> tarelerulz: oh linux is elf
[07:27] <connorp> NemesisD, 1s :)
[07:27] <StarScream> afaik
[07:27] <asc> Matrix9: Hm.  Then maybe, but still probably not. The one I had was like 200. Have you tried 'sudo gdm' or 'startx'?
[07:28] <dougie> strabes, that doesn't work either
[07:28] <StarScream> tarelerulz: i don't know what windows exe's are
[07:28] <Defian> owh, i've been slamming my head against concrete all day trying to figure this out. Now I know about strace, woo!
[07:28] <musya> btw how do you starge gde from command line?
[07:28] <musya> or start x
[07:28] <owh> Defian, all good. Happy to help. Have fun.
[07:28] <connorp> tom_kelleher, ok, so do this $ sudo fdisk /dev/(yourhd) , then press "p" and then enter. Paste that into a pastebin, and link me, then press "q." PRESS NOTHING ELSE! you'll kill your system ^^
[07:28] <Anon092321> noiesmo thanks a lot
[07:28] <Defian> owh, Thanks. People in these linux communities are so much nicer than the gaming ones...
[07:28] <Anon092321> theres no video, just audio now :S arrrghhhhh, if its not one thing its another
[07:28] <Bidash> breezy is an older version of ubuntu right?
[07:28] <noiesmo> Anon092321, np :) don't forget to share your pron
[07:29] <asc> musya: If you mean gdm, do 'sudo gdm'
[07:29] <tarelerulz> Starscream thanks for the info
[07:29] <owh> Defian: :-)
[07:29] <noiesmo> Bidash, yes
[07:29] <Bidash> thanks
[07:29] <Anon092321> do i need a codec now or something?
[07:29] <StarScream> tarelerulz: np.
[07:29] <asc> musya: You can configure it to start a DTE with startx, but gdm is usually easier.
[07:29] <musya> asc: thanks
[07:29] <noiesmo> Anon092321, yes you might need codecs
[07:29] <musya> Anon092321: yea sharing is caring
[07:29] <musya> lol
[07:29] <musya> j/k
[07:29] <musya> man
[07:29] <tarelerulz> When I get couple more things working on Konqueror I will be happy. I like more then firefox.
[07:30] <Anon092321> haha i got a few DVD's i could seed, once i figure out how to set up a torrent, but thats for another day
[07:30] <Anon092321> is there somethin i can type in terminal to update realplayer's codecs?
[07:30] <noiesmo> Anon092321, check out this site has repos for ubuntu but read first page http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/index.php
[07:30] <RD58> i wanto to known the distro version,what is the command
[07:30] <musya> Anon092321: ill keep i touch ;_
[07:30] <creamdog> hey, I have a problem with ubuntu on my laptop. whenever I do something cpu heavy, the tempererature reaches critical and the laptop shutsdown. any tips?
[07:30] <musya> Anon092321:  sudo apt-get updte
[07:30] <musya> update*
[07:30] <musya> sorry
[07:30] <musya> then sudo apt-get upgrade
[07:30] <Bidash> i'm reading a guide on ubuntu official site about how to install alternatively to booting from a cd. I'm reading about booting from c:\boot folder (ntfs partition). It starts with giving me a link and tells me to "download linux and initrd.gz" however that link leads to a breezy subdir and i want the latest/feisty. any tips?
[07:30] <tom_kelleher> connorp: umm sry but how do I find the exact info for my HDD
[07:31] <connorp> tom_kelleher, that would be one way. the other way is to open up GPARTED
[07:31] <noiesmo> Anon092321, add the right repo for ur dist then do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install w32codecs
[07:32] <tom_kelleher> connorp: installing it now
[07:32] <Matrix9> asc, I googled it and yes, I guess by default the server edition doesn't come with a gui, but all you need to do is type "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop"
[07:33] <tom_kelleher> connorp: Vista is on /dev/sda3
[07:33] <asc> Matrix9: Righto.
[07:33] <connorp> tom_kelleher, cool, ok
[07:33] <Anon092321> ok
[07:33] <Anon092321> do i restart now?
[07:33] <tom_kelleher> connorp: brb
[07:33] <Anon092321> i'll restart
[07:33] <Anon092321> brb
[07:34] <Anon092321> if i don't come back it worked, and i appreciate everyone's help
[07:34] <Anon092321> :D
[07:34] <connorp> tom_kelleher, sure :)
[07:34] <tarelerulz> Have any of you had to restart you system to get package or say program to work right ? I installed flash player for Konqeror and it did not work after I installed it ,but when I restart my computer it did work.

[07:35] <Bidash> help about netboot: I am confused wether this automatic installer will install the latest ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows The reason i doubt it is that the manual process is describe and it's about ubuntu breezy.

[07:40] <Bidash> crdlb i'd prefer the automatic way the site mentions.. do you think that will use files from the feisty dirs even tho they forgot to update the manual process links?
[07:40] <tondar> connorp: used to thunderbird
[07:40] <titun> musya: no idea, but in a public internet cafe
[07:40] <musya> can she get other messages?

[07:44] <morphius_> flowingfire: chmod
[07:44] <flowingfire> morphius: chmod then the filename?
[07:45] <morphius_> flowingfire: Depends, what permissions do you want to set and for what users. I suggest you RTFM by doing man chmod
[07:45] <morphius_> in a terminal
[07:45] <tarelerulz> any one have problem getting beryl to work with an upgrade of kubuntu 6.10 to 7.04 ?
[07:46] <morphius_> flowingfire: I think you can also right click and go to properties in X, but I'm not sure, I usually use the command line.
[07:46] <flowingfire> Umm... I want to make my sda1 windows partition share-accessable from Linux, but I have to change the permissions because it doesn't allow outside users access..
[07:46] <Bidash> about installing ubuntu without an actual cd: can i use this instluxCDROMUbuntu6_06swedish.exe even though i haven't found the ubundu cd image with a swedish ubuntu?
[07:46] <kust0m> tarelerulz: you might want to try #ubuntu-effects
[07:46] <morphius_> flowingfire: then you to be setting the umast for ntfs-3g
[07:46] <morphius_> flowingfire *umask
[07:46] <flowingfire> Hmm..... I'm sorta new... what does that mean? lol
[07:47] <Bidash> flowingfire haha don't set the umast for ntfs-3g
[07:47] <carbanm> Why does my beryl have 6 sides? who decided i needed a stop sign?
[07:47] <NemesisD> ok guys now whatever i do in synaptic i get "subprocess new post-removal script returned error exit status 1"
[07:47] <carbanm> anyone?
[07:48] <flowingfire> I typed "chmod sda1"...
[07:48] <carbanm> plus, how do you zoom out on the cube?
[07:48] <morphius_> flowingfire: umask is shor for User MASK. This is a series of octal settings for user permissions. It has to do with binary code. Somewhat uninteresting why.
[07:48] <kust0m> flowingfire: i'd be careful..windows might not boot by the time you're done chmodding things.
[07:48] <flowingfire> uh oh lol
[07:48] <Bidash> carbanm im just a curious noob but.. isn't that beryl stuff the cube-desktops you can spin around? why wouldn't the cube have 6 sides?
[07:49] <tom_kelleher> connorp: no luck :( same as last time
[07:49] <noiesmo> NemesisD, Open a terminal and type "sudo apt-get install -f"
[07:49] <morphius_> kust0m: not true. This is just how it appears to linux. You do not actually change the permissions of the files.
[07:49] <kust0m> Bidash: that was my question..compiz only uses 4 cube sides by default tho.
[07:49] <carbanm> Bidash: its got 8 technically, 6 like a hexagon and top.bottom.
[07:49] <kust0m> morphius_: really?
[07:49] <noiesmo> NemesisD, I would say there has been a clash in packages and it needs fixn
[07:49] <morphius_> kust0m: linux permissions are very different than windows permissions. to my knowledge you cannot set windows permissions from linux.
[07:49] <Bidash> aah cool
[07:50] <kust0m> morphius_: so, does linux create some kind of db on the drive for the ntfs-3g driver to use?
[07:50] <NemesisD> noiesmo, same error at the end
[07:50] <pureDesi> hey, I'm trying to create a folder on an external hard drive, however it keeps saying that I don't have permission
[07:50] <Bidash> the vid i saw of beryl was just a simple 6 sided cube
[07:50] <connorp> tom_kelleher, sorry man :( ask around here again, I've gotta get at this point. Good luck, sir.
[07:50] <pureDesi> how do I get permission?
[07:50] <kust0m> pureDesi: are you root? is it mounted with read/write perms?
[07:50] <morphius_> flowfire, kust0m: the umask simply sets how the permissions _appear_ to linux. For example, setting permissions one way makes every file on the partition appear as a unix executeable.
[07:50] <noiesmo> NemesisD, ok what package does it complain about
[07:50] <pureDesi> kust0m: I don't think I am
[07:51] <tom_kelleher> connorp: np I appreciate your help. I have a feeling it's not being mounted or something
[07:51] <kust0m> morphius_: umask applies to newly created files tho. what about a chmod?
[07:51] <pureDesi> and how do I mount it with read/write permissions?
[07:51] <kust0m> pureDesi: do you know what device it is? or where it's mounted?
[07:51] <morphius_> flowfire: you need to figure out what types of users and what types of permissions you want to set first. Learning about chmod will help as the permissions are the same type.
[07:52] <flowingfire> Yeah, I need to learn this I guess... Ok.... So I guess being a n00b, I have no idea how to do these things you guys talk about... Like, I can access my sda1 just fine, but then it will crash my windows XP computer on the network because it's not accessable...
[07:52] <NemesisD> noiesmo, lemme check
[07:52] <Dracula}X{> anyone know how to share internet through firewire?
[07:52] <bingyman> how do i remane file in my shell account??
[07:52] <kust0m> bingyman: mv oldname newname
[07:52] <NemesisD> noiesmo, debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable
[07:52] <pureDesi> kust0m: yeah
[07:52] <bingyman> thnx kust0m
[07:52] <morphius_> flowfire: sounds like you are trying to access a drive mounted root over a network
[07:52] <kust0m> pureDesi: can you tell me?
[07:53] <flowingfire> Yep, pretty much.
[07:53] <bingyman> mv: missing file argument
[07:53] <pureDesi> kust0m: I'm not sure iff this is what you're asking for, but "disk-1"
[07:53] <kust0m> pureDesi: try 'mount | grep -i disk-1'
[07:53] <morphius_> you will still want to set the umask.
[07:53] <kust0m> pureDesi: from a shell
[07:53] <NemesisD> oh damnit
[07:53] <pureDesi> ok
[07:53] <flowingfire> Ok... I tried typing chmod sda1 unmask and it gave me an error
[07:53] <NemesisD> darnit*
[07:53] <morphius_> flowfire: do you want the drive r/w or read only
[07:53] <NemesisD> i think i know what i did wrong
[07:53] <flowingfire> read only
[07:53] <kust0m> pureDesi: what was the output?
[07:54] <DLB|Maximus> can anyone tell me how to find devices and the mount points in ubuntu?
[07:54] <kust0m> pureDesi: should only be a line or 2
[07:54] <bingyman> hehe.. sori the file was missing
[07:54] <morphius_> hmmm...
[07:54] <kust0m> Maximus: 'mount'
[07:54] <pureDesi> kust0m: /dev/sdb1 on /media/disk-1 type ntfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,umask=222,utf8)
[07:54] <DLB|Maximus> i find nothing usefull in fstab...
[07:54] <NemesisD> noiesmo, jeeze, now i get : phpgroupware: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should and thats it
[07:54] <morphius_> flowingfire: try mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/point -o umask=0000
[07:55] <Ahmadinejad> Any big deffirence on OpenOffice 2.0 and OpenOffice 2.2+
[07:55] <flowingfire> Ok morphius
[07:55] <Ahmadinejad> ?
[07:55] <kust0m> pureDesi: eh.. it's mounted read/write. maybe try writing as root. something like "sudo touch /media/disk-1/testfile"
[07:55] <noiesmo> NemesisD, yu might need to remove then reinstall
[07:55] <pureDesi> kust0m: touch: cannot touch `/media/disk-1/testfile': Read-only file system
[07:55] <NemesisD> i must purge my system of this unholy software
[07:55] <kust0m> pureDesi: did you do the ntfs-3g filesystem stuff?
[07:56] <pureDesi> uh, no
[07:56] <noiesmo> NemesisD, yeah
[07:56] <pureDesi> I have no clue what that is :S
[07:56] <NemesisD> noiesmo, i think i ran in to problems when i chose remove completely for some reason
[07:56] <Jordan_U> !ntfs-3g | pureDesi
[07:56] <ubotu> pureDesi: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[07:56] <pureDesi> ahhh
[07:57] <pureDesi> thanks, I'll go check it out now
[07:57] <noiesmo> NemesisD, try sudo apt-get install --reinstall phpgroupware also maybe sudo apt-get install phpgroupware --fix-missing
[07:57] <NemesisD> noiesmo, yeah i reinstalled it and then just did a remove and it seemed to have gone off without a hitch this time
[07:57] <noiesmo> NemesisD, cool
[08:01] <jason__> can any give me a hand?
[08:01] <jason__> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16834146281    is this a 64 bit computer?
[08:01] <Zjoske> i had an isue with my USB Mass Storage device, i couldn't mount it, now i formated in windows (using format option (right-click on it)), and i still can't mount it, but it is recognized... is there a way i can format it to be able to use it on Linux(ubuntu) AND windows?
[08:01] <bingyman> hehee
[08:01] <jason__> sorry
[08:01] <dsmith_> how many ppl intend to support Dell and purchase a Ubuntu machine?
[08:02] <zxc> hey guys - which synapitics pkg is best to install for my nvidia geforce 7300 GT ?
[08:02] <dougie> ok somehow my thumb drive went read only and i can't format it or anything now
[08:02] <crdlb> zxc: use the restricted manager
[08:02] <jason__> i need a new laptop and dont know anything about hardware anymore
[08:02] <dsmith_> Zjoske: format in ext3
[08:02] <Zjoske> how?
[08:02] <dsmith_> gparted
[08:02] <crdlb> zxc: that will install nvidia-glx, but you can easily upgrade to -new
[08:02] <dsmith_> !gparted
[08:02] <ubotu> 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
[08:02] <zxc> crdlb - restricted mgr?
[08:03] <dsmith_> then you have to edit your ftab conf file
[08:03] <crdlb> zxc: are you on gnome and feisty?
[08:03] <Zjoske> dsmith_:  when i should format in Ext3, i won't be able to mount it on windows anymore, and i want to be able to use it there as well..
[08:03] <zxc> kubuntu
[08:03] <dsmith_> fstab I meant
[08:03] <crdlb> zxc: then install nvidia-glx-new
[08:03] <crdlb> that's the best
[08:03] <m0r0d0ck> dougie check to make sure the "write protect" switch is off
[08:03] <dsmith_> .../etc/fstab
[08:04] <m0r0d0ck> sometimes on the side or top of the thumbdrive itself
[08:04] <zxc> best from apt get in konsole?
[08:04] <Zjoske> what should i do with that? (srry i'm noob)
[08:04] <dsmith_> windows can view ext3 format
[08:04] <dsmith_> but cannot write to it
[08:04] <Zjoske> and, how do i format to ext3?
[08:04] <dsmith_> gparted
[08:04] <happymuffin> anybody have an idea how to fix it when apt-get and synaptic and aptitude and update-manager won't update, besides trying a different sources.list?
[08:04] <dsmith_> !gparted
[08:04] <ubotu> 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
[08:04] <dsmith_> just told u
[08:04] <dsmith_> anyways...
[08:05] <zxc> crdlb best to install with konsole - apt get?
[08:05] <Dracula}X{> IP over Firewire through ubuntu.. anyone know how do do it if it is even possible?
[08:05] <dougie> m0r0d0ck, it keeps saying cannot change permssions because disk is read only
[08:05] <crdlb> zxc: it doesn't matter what package manager you use
[08:06] <Zjoske> (what is the command for gparted in terminal? just gparted?))
[08:06] <dougie> Zjoske you have to sudo it
[08:06] <dougie> sudo gparted
[08:06] <Zjoske> i see
[08:06] <dougie> did you install it?
[08:06] <Zjoske> yes i just did
[08:06] <dougie> ok
[08:07] <zxc> crdlb - thx - still a nubie to linux - but soon leaving windoze 4 good
[08:07] <Zjoske> anyway my usb device is not in the list..
[08:07] <crdlb> zxc: once you've installed it, run: sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals -d 24
[08:07] <Zjoske> only my HDD shows up
[08:07] <crdlb> zxc: that will actually enable it
[08:07] <happymuffin> anyone here who can help with apt-get not updating, acts like it's behind a proxy but it's not?
[08:08] <zxc> crdlb - great thx a bunch
[08:08] <Zjoske> dougie: only my hdd shows up in gparted, my usb must be there to, to format it...
[08:08] <happymuffin> here's the details... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=431401
[08:08] <Zoffix> Hi, how can I install .deb packages from command line?
[08:08] <Zjoske> (and i cant mount it.. windows mounts it perfect)
[08:08] <crdlb> Zoffix: dpkg -i
[08:08] <dougie> Zjoske, there is a little drop down thing in the upper right corner select your usb drive there
[08:08] <Zoffix> thanks
[08:09] <Zjoske> dougie: no usb device in there
[08:09] <Zjoske> i cant mount it on ubuntu, only on windows
[08:09] <budluva> Zoffix, sudo dpkg -i blah.deb
[08:09] <dougie> Zjoske, well then its not mounting to your computer at all
[08:09] <Zoffix> Thank you.
[08:09] <Zjoske> sudo mount /dev/sda tells me this device doesn't exist..

[08:12] <anirudha> Hi, can anyone here help me setup Evolution Mail?
[08:12] <dougie> is there a way to install over a network without cd's?
[08:12] <kkathman> anirudha,  what do you need?
[08:13] <DarkRAM> Yup, same here. Not sure what I did to break it
[08:13] <dougie> i mean without floppys
[08:13] <DarkRAM> It use to work
[08:13] <anirudha> Hi, kkathman
[08:13] <kkathman> hi
[08:13] <Zjoske> idd it used to work here too, windows mounts it..
[08:13] <Zjoske> ubuntu feisty doesnt///
[08:13] <anirudha> Hi, kkathman , could you help me with the step by step setup?
[08:13] <orbin> javes: that's the network manager applet
[08:13] <Zjoske> the liveCD automounts it as well
[08:13] <kkathman> anirudha,  you just trying to get it setup to get your mail?
[08:13] <orbin> javes: possibly
[08:13] <javes> orbin, how come theres two of them?
[08:13] <javes> i just setup a vpn
[08:13] <bullgard4> What is a 'commit' in the sentence "If you have a git tree, can you isolate the regression to a particular commit using git-bisect?
[08:14] <javes> and another one popped up
[08:14] <musya> i got an external drive in ntfs how can i format it to linux
[08:14] <musya> in ubuntu
[08:14] <musya> ???
[08:14] <musya> ?
[08:14] <pyrohotdog> sudo gparted
[08:14] <Zjoske> gparted
[08:14] <musya> isnt that partitioning?
[08:14] <pyrohotdog> and formatting.
[08:14] <Zjoske> yes but formating too..
[08:14] <dougie> anyone know of a guide for that? to install over a network without floppies?
[08:14] <anirudha> kkathman, Yes, also, I am not very familiar with all the possible features of the mail service? Is it a separate email account or does it import my email from my other email accounts>
[08:14] <Zjoske> partitioning comes with formating..
[08:15] <musya> ah,ok
[08:15] <musya> !
[08:15] <DarkRAM> Zjoske, only thing I can think of is I installed an app to see my RAID drives (dmraid)
[08:15] <kkathman> anirudha,  there is some rudimentary import
[08:15] <orbin> javes: what show up when you right-click on them?
[08:15] <orbin> *shows
[08:15] <kkathman> anirudha,  I can help you set up your servers and all that..but its pretty easy
[08:15] <javes> orbin, the same thing, enable networking, enable wireless,
[08:15] <levon> okay guys thanks for all the help and i have another question haha is there a dvd ripper faster then k9copy
[08:15] <frustratedwithed> what was the command to go to the edubuntu channel?
[08:16] <Zjoske> DarkRAM: here it didn't work ever.. only the livecd mounts it automatically, and windows mounts it too..
[08:16] <Zjoske> installed version of ubuntu feisty doesnt mount or automount...
[08:16] <anirudha> kkathman, Okay, so on initial setup, Evolution asks for my name and email address. Does it refer to an external email address like my Hotmail email>
[08:16] <javes> theres just two of them, not sure if i messed something when I was setting up the VPN
[08:16] <DarkRAM> Zjoske, use to work for me. Until today at least... :/
[08:16] <orbin> javes: yes, that's the network manager applet (nm-applet)
[08:16] <kkathman> anirudha,  hotmail. no...it needs a POP3  for the most part
[08:16] <Zjoske> weird..
[08:16] <bullgard4> frustratedwithed: '/join #edubuntu'
[08:16] <javes> orbin, right but theres two of them, wondering if i can get rid of one
[08:17] <frustratedwithed> bull: thanks
[08:17] <Zjoske> anyone who can help me and DarkRAM with our USB Device problem????
[08:17] <orbin> javes: you said another one popped up when fiddling with vpn?
[08:17] <pureDesi> how do I find out if I'm running dapper or edgy?
[08:17] <noiesmo> anirudha, thunderbird has an extension that handles hotmail pop3 I dont know if theres one for evolution
[08:18] <orbin> javes: and if you hover over both, does it show the same connection?
[08:18] <javes> orbin, correct, i believe i ran some sort of nm-applet while setting it up
[08:18] <javes> orbin, yes
[08:18] <musya> so do i got to unmount it first?
[08:18] <Zjoske> pureDesi: dapper = 5.* edgy = 6.*
[08:18] <happymuffin> dougie:  try this one... http://marc.herbert.free.fr/linux/win2linstall.html
[08:18] <ubuntubeginz> hi... guys, if a file in this extension... jboss.tar.gz how to do i untar it into *.jar extension... cos using tar xzvf...untars the whole package...
[08:18] <anirudha> noiesmo, Can you recommend a good resource for setup of Thunderbird>
[08:18] <anirudha> noiesmo, Can you recommend a good resource for setup of Thunderbird?
[08:18] <pureDesi> gotchya
[08:18] <Zjoske> anirudha: website of mozilla??
[08:18] <dougie> i don't have a windows machine...
[08:18] <Zjoske> ever thought about that?
[08:19] <orbin> javes: that might be why.  sys > admin > sys monitor ... do you have two nm-applet entries?
[08:19] <noiesmo> anirudha, http://webmail.mozdev.org/installation.html  & http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/
[08:19] <levon> anyone know anything faster then k9copy
[08:19] <Madpilot> anirudha, are you trying to set up Thunderbird, or Evolution? (or both, for some reason?)
[08:19] <Zjoske> anyone can help with an usb2.0 device isue?
[08:20] <javes> orbin, aye I do, can i kill one of them?
[08:20] <zcat[1] > levon: buy dual-layer blanks and clone the whole disk?
[08:20] <noiesmo> levon, I use wine to run  dvdshrink & dvddecryptor on kubuntu
[08:20] <orbin> javes: i'd try it, yes
[08:20] <Gerro> Zjoske: what is the problem?
[08:20] <javes> hehe
[08:21] <javes> am i still here
[08:21] <zcat[1] > I run dvdrip to make avi's .. don't know about making smaller dvd's
[08:21] <orbin> javes: did one disappear?
[08:21] <Zjoske> Gerro: i can't mount my usb2.0 stick/drive... it shows up in dmesg as sg0 but i cant mount to that point, it doenst create an /dev/sda or something...
[08:21] <ubuntubeginz> anyone knoes the answer to my qn... :)
[08:21] <javes> orbin, thanks bud, i know it was a simple question, but im just getting into linux, and dont want to mess anything up as its my primary os now
[08:21] <Zjoske> Gerro: it also shows up in hardware monitor etc..
[08:22] <anirudha> Madpilot, Basically I want to start using Thunderbird or Evolution to read/write emails, but I am not very familiar with its capabilities.
[08:22] <Gerro> Zjoske: try mounting it as sdb1 or sda1 or possibly h instead of s as in hda1
[08:22] <happymuffin> dougie:  i think that guide should work without windows too, are you installing onto a machine with no OS?
[08:22] <Zjoske> Gerro: LiveCD of ubuntu feisty also mounts my device, and windows xp sp2 mounts it too...
[08:22] <orbin> javes: that's cool.  yeah, you just started another instance of the applet in your vpn setup i'm guessing.
[08:22] <Madpilot> anirudha, either works, I happen to use Evolution for some of my email - the Evolution help docs are pretty good, actually.
[08:22] <Gerro> Zjoske: it wouldn't have a zero... I mean maybe if it had no file system maybe
[08:22] <ubuntubeginz> hi... guys, if a file in this extension... jboss.tar.gz how to do i untar it into *.jar extension... cos using tar xzvf...untars the whole package...
[08:23] <anirudha> Madpilot, Does Thunderbird/Evolution create a new email account or import emails from my pre-existing email account ... like hotmail?
[08:23] <Zjoske> Gerro: those 2 (livecd and windows) mount it as sda0
[08:23] <Gerro> Zjoske: have you tried formatting it with fdisk?
[08:23] <Madpilot> anirudha, depends on how hotmail is set up - does hotmail allow pop3 connections?
[08:23] <Zjoske> hmm no but how can i do without having it mounted?
[08:23] <javes> orbin, yeah thanks
[08:23] <StarScream> ubuntubeginz: you need to run the ant build task to     get it to make  the jar...if there isn't one , you need to do it your self
[08:23] <ubuntubeginz> Zjoske: I used Acronis.. quite good
[08:23] <Gerro> Zjoske: don't need to mount to fdisk
[08:23] <StarScream> ubuntubeginz:  from the  .class  files
[08:23] <anirudha> Madpilot, How do you use evolution for email?
[08:24] <Madpilot> anirudha, you have an email server from somewhere, tell evolution where the server is, and go from there.
[08:24] <Zjoske> Gerro: how do i use the command fdisk for my usb device then?
[08:24] <blenna> are there any requirements on putting custom scripts in /etc/init.d?
[08:24] <nolan_> will ubuntu tell me when there are updates for my software, or do i have to check manually?
[08:25] <Zjoske> zjoske@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk /dev/sg0
[08:25] <Zjoske> i used this command
[08:25] <Zjoske> and it hangs now..
[08:25] <Dizizi> I'm tryin to partition my harddisk so i can install Ubuntu but I have fears of it being formatted.Is there anyway I can partition without formatting?
[08:25] <anirudha> Does anyone use ThunderBird/Evolution to import, read/write emails from their hotmail account?
[08:26] <pureDesi> Ok, I installed the ntfs-3 thing, but I still don't have permissions to edit/delete/create files on my external drive
[08:26] <pureDesi> any clues?
[08:26] <varka> nolan_: it tells you automatically and in addition you can configure it to install security updates in background without noticing
[08:26] <DarkRAM> Zjoske, same here
[08:26] <ubuntubeginz> StarScream: I just downloaded a jboss.tar.gz frm the website... and one site recommened me to do java jboss.jar... so i am a bit confused now... so i have write a ant file to convert the tar.gz to jar..is it really tihs complicated...
[08:26] <nolan_> oh cool, thanks varka
[08:26] <Gerro> Zjoske: hold ctrl and press c to abort that process
[08:26] <Dizizi> HELP PLEASE!!!! I'm tryin to partition my harddisk so i can install Ubuntu but I have fears of it being formatted.Is there anyway I can partition without formatting?
[08:27] <Zjoske> yes i did, and how do i format correctly the usb device?
[08:27] <anirudha> Does anyone use ThunderBird/Evolution to import, read/write emails from their hotmail account?
[08:27] <StarScream> ubuntubeginz: you downloaded the source...what i think you wanted is the binary
[08:27] <Gerro> Zjoske: hmm try mounting /dev/sg1 perhaps
[08:28] <bullgard4> What is a 'git tree'? see: http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/lenb/acpi/patches/README.ACPI
[08:28] <orbin> anirudha: that's kind of off-topic here
[08:28] <Dizizi>  I'm tryin to partition my harddisk so i can install Ubuntu but I have fears of it being formatted.Is there anyway I can partition without formatting?
[08:28] <happymuffin> dizizi: can you explain what you're trying to do?
[08:28] <Zjoske> sg1 cannot be found in fstab or mstab it says Gerro
[08:28] <Zjoske> Dizizi: no
[08:28] <anirudha> orbin, Is there a #Thunderbird channel?
[08:29] <^3pi^> Dizizi the partitioner will let you resize your partition
[08:29] <happymuffin> dizizi: i mean, are you trying to partition without formatting your windows partition, or without formatting your linux partitions?
[08:29] <^3pi^> and ust format the new one you create from space freed
[08:29] <neil_feisty> !feisty
[08:29] <ubotu> Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) is the latest version of Ubuntu. Upgrading to Feisty: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FeistyUpgrades - Downloading: http://www.ubuntu.com/download - For BitTorrent downloads, see !Torrents
[08:29] <Zjoske> Gerro: sg1 cannot be found in fstab it says....
[08:29] <Dizizi> happymuffin : Windows Partition
[08:29] <orbin> anirudha: dunno.  but if hotmail is like gmail, they should provide you with details on how to forward your mail on the site
[08:29] <Madpilot> anirudha, a quick google search suggests that Hotmail doesn't offer pop3 service now - you can't use evolution/thunderbird/whatever to read hotmail accounts, in other words
[08:30] <orbin> ah, well there you go.
[08:30] <Madpilot> anirudha, gmail does offer pop3 capability - want a gmail invite? (are invites even still needed?)
[08:30] <neil_feisty> anyone knows a channel for wine
[08:30] <gonnaeatthat> should be #wine
[08:30] <Madpilot> neil_feisty, #winehq
[08:31] <anirudha> Madpilot, Thanks for the help, I have been Googling to see if my GroupWise email offers POP3 to the Novell based Evolution.
[08:31] <ubuntubeginz> StarScream: Oh...k... i think i will around and get that binary... quite surprising , they don have it there... thanks man ...
[08:31] <anirudha> Madpilot, Thanks for the help.
[08:31] <Dizizi> happymuffin: I'm tryin to retain my windows partition
[08:31] <^3pi^> dizizi: the installing procedure will let you resize you ntfs partition before formatting the new (ext3) u create for the linux system
[08:31] <Gerro> Madpilot: I do!
[08:31] <anirudha> orbin, Thanks.
[08:32] <StarScream> ubuntubeginz: not really, they sell jboss no ? so they want you to buy it
[08:32] <Madpilot> anirudha, I think Evolution can talk to groupwise stuff already - I seem to recall seeing that when I set Evo up a few weeks ago
[08:32] <^3pi^> so ntfs will be smaller but safe
[08:32] <cafuego> anirudha: Evolution speaks to groupwise directly
[08:32] <neil_feisty> Madpilot, tks
[08:32] <cafuego> I don't know how well, but it does.
[08:33] <happymuffin> dizizi: what version of windows?
[08:33] <ubuntubeginz> StarScream: ah, no wonder it aint there... :)
[08:33] <Dizizi> happymuffin: XP
[08:34] <^3pi^> dizizi u're afraid of loosing xp partition during setup?
[08:34] <happymuffin> dizizi: ok, just use the partitioner in the installer to shrink your XP partition, then tell the partitioner to install into the remaining space
[08:35] <happymuffin> back up any data you can't lose first
[08:35] <Dizizi> happymuffin: ok
[08:35] <aman> hi everyone
[08:36] <aman> plz help
[08:36] <happymuffin> dizizi: the reason i asked the version is because i have vista and it works better to use vista's partitioner... but with XP the installer one is fine
[08:36] <Zjoske> anyone can help with an usb2.0 device isue?
[08:36] <Dizizi> happymuffin: ok, Thanks

[08:40] <happymuffin> anyone have experience troubleshooting when "apt-get update" returns errors and doesn't connect to the servers?
[08:41] <surrey> Hello
[08:41] <orbin> happymuffin: pastebin the output: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[08:41] <surrey> I have a quick question about Gaim and SIP
[08:42] <happymuffin> is a forum link good enough? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=431401
[08:42] <surrey> Does anybody know anything about Gaim and SIP?
[08:43] <surrey> So here is the real question. I have Gaim 2.0.0beta6 installed
[08:43] <DarkRAM> Zjoske, good luck. I'm off
[08:43] <frustratedwithed> How do I diagnose problems with NFS?  What command sequence do I need to sudo?
[08:43] <happymuffin> orbin: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20297/
[08:43] <orbin> aman: if you can't connect with something like gnome-ppp. you may need to set up the driver.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/Smartlink may help.
[08:44] <Zjoske> How do i format an unmountable device???
[08:44] <happymuffin> orbin: i just ran "apt-get update" and got that output
[08:44] <surrey> which is all good. I have a used SIP accounts with both ekiga and linphone in the past however when I use those accounts with Gaim presense does not work.
[08:44] <surrey> After, some research I found out that this was due to the fact the the servers I was using didn't support SIMPLE (the SIP extension which provides presence)
[08:45] <surrey> So, now after a lot of googleing I was unable to find a free server. However, I assume that there must be one out there because so many people are using SIP/SIMPLE services and Gaim now have support for it
[08:45] <surrey> Does anyone have any idea where a free SIP/SIMPLE service may be provided or have any suggestions?

[08:47] <[Neurotic] > I just can't find the write config aram
[08:48] <pureDes1> Ok! I got the permissions working fine now, I can write to external drives.
[08:48] <pureDes1> However I'm dual-booting with windows XP
[08:48] <happymuffin> orbin: did you see my pastebin?
[08:48] <pureDes1> and I can't see the partition that has windows on it
[08:48] <pureDes1> any ideas?
[08:48] <Bidash> i had a link about installing ubuntu without burning a cd, but lost it and can't find it again. can somone please point me in a good direction? X)
[08:49] <frustratedwithed> What file stores the NFS connection attempts?  Anyone?

[08:49] <frustratedwithed> How do I diagnose problems with NFS?  What command sequence do I need to sudo?
[08:49] <Bidash> hmm.. hoped for the other but ill see what this one's like
[08:50] <happymuffin> bidash: yeah i just looked it up for someone else, i've never tried it
[08:50] <orbin> happymuffin: yes.  i'm not sure, sorry.  i was going to suggest changing sources but someone already did in your thread
[08:50] <ubuntubeginz> cos it isnt in the Applications(start) menu
[08:50] <happymuffin> orbin: yes i've tried 3 or 4 different lists
[08:52] <Dizizi> Gij, j = 0
[08:52] <happymuffin> orbin: it's really strange because (1) i can access the sites from a browser just fine (2) i can update just fine over the same network when using a LiveCD (3) when i chmod into my system from that LiveCD i can't update
[08:52] <happymuffin> anybody else have any ideas for me?
[08:53] <Bidash> how do i find out if this applies to me? "In particular, there has been recently an infamous partitioning bug making the partition table incorrect and thus preventing you to boot Windows afterwards."
[08:53] <riffraff> hi everyone
[08:54] <happymuffin> bidash: i'm not sure who that applies to, where is it from?
[08:55] <riffraff> Is it possible and sane to remove all the stuff tghar makes up xbase-clients? I really don't feel like needing xeyes or xmore, but it seem that everything depends on them

[08:59] <happymuffin> bidash: well i'm not sure, i didn't think "parted" was the partitioner used in the install but i'm not sure
[08:59] <Cassandra> Thanks Madpilot
[08:59] <happymuffin> bidash: does it use "parted" or "gparted"?
[09:00] <happymuffin> or maybe you're not running the install right now
[09:00] <happymuffin> lol
[09:00] <ubunturos> jason__: If you mean, sources.lst you can generate one from http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/
[09:00] <Bidash> happymuffin no and i have never heard of anything X)
[09:00] <Bidash> haha
[09:00] <ubunturos> !Xiph.org

[09:01] <aBuSeR> can ay one hlep?
[09:01] <ubunturos> aBuSeR: what version of *buntu are you using?
[09:01] <Madpilot> Cassandra, sorry, how do I know what? If you mean, how do I know what to ask the bot, it's just because I'm here too much. :)
[09:01] <aBuSeR> uhm sec
[09:02] <Bidash> happymuffin if you got time. take a peek here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation As a first time user who just wanna have shortime fun with ubuntu. do you recommend i follow the "automatic process" instructions?

[09:02] <geoldr> hi
[09:02] <Shaezsche> a partition on my HD is 30% contiguous after transfering 20 gigs of music on it. Is there anything i can do to clean it up?
[09:02] <aBuSeR> 6.06
[09:02] <^3pi^> ab: try loomk here : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal/+bug/32959
[09:02] <ubunturos> aBuSeR: dapper should automatically mount your flash drive
[09:02] <Cassandra> Thank you Madpilot, that's cute :p
[09:02] <Shaezsche> it was 1% before
[09:02] <oxigen> hi, how can i start ubuntu without X?
[09:02] <aBuSeR> well it finds it shows it
[09:02] <ubunturos> aBuSeR: if it doesn't probably, the file system isn't being recognized
[09:02] <aBuSeR> but cannot open it
[09:02] <aBuSeR> ok
[09:02] <aBuSeR> what do i do then?
[09:03] <ubunturos> aBuSeR: do you have any existing data on it?
[09:03] <aBuSeR> yes but i dont care for it
[09:03] <Madpilot> Cassandra, lots of the common questions - like yours - are best answered by the bot, so all the regulars get to know how to poke ubotu correctly
[09:03] <^3pi^> weel it isnt much informative at all anyway :/
[09:03] <ubunturos> aBuSeR: I'm not sure whether this is safe, but you probably can format it once using a tool in dapper
[09:04] <aBuSeR> witch tool
[09:04] <happymuffin> bidash: well if you're concerned about it you can use partitionmagic in windows
[09:04] <Bidash> happymuffin as opposed to what?
[09:04] <ubunturos> aBuSeR: can't recall the name, aah.. :-?
[09:04] <aBuSeR> wel i definatly dont know
[09:04] <frustratedwithed> Anyone here familiar with LTSP?
[09:04] <happymuffin> bidash: it's a bit hard to recommend without knowing anything about your computer, but yes the standard install is how i did it
[09:04] <aBuSeR> but i need that drive
[09:04] <Bidash> happymuffin aah.. instead of letting the installer reshape partitions?
[09:05] <happymuffin> bidash: yes
[09:05] <Bidash> i can tell anything about the computer but what "standard" way do you mean?
[09:05] <Cassandra> Madpilot:  How do I tel which version I am currently running?
[09:05] <ubunturos> aBuSeR: Under System->Preferences -> or Administration -> disk management tools,
[09:05] <aBuSeR> looking.
[09:05] <ubunturos> aBuSeR: you should be able to find one
[09:05] <happymuffin> bidash: standard installation at the top of that page
[09:05] <Madpilot> Cassandra, System->About Ubuntu should tell you
[09:06] <^3pi^> aB: u need the drive or the data actually in it?
[09:06] <carbanm> hey guys, i have a question, my aMSN wont load from a launcher,  but i can open a term and "sudo amsn" and it loads
[09:06] <carbanm> wtf?
[09:06] <carbanm> oh, and the launcher IS sudo amsn
[09:06] <Bidash> happymuffin i don't see what's standard about it. the standard way is burning a cd and booting from it. are we looking at the same page? my page doesn't mention 'standard' and it concerns a specific way of installing for people with non-standard circumstances?
[09:06] <Cassandra> Thanks Madpilot  Hope this works :)
[09:06] <TraceGreen> Hello, when i upgrade my kernel to 2.6.21, my sata harddisk can not be found. how shall i do ?
[09:06] <frustratedwithed> Anyone here familiar with NFS?
[09:07] <happymuffin> bidash: there are also links at the bottom of that page for WindowsDualBoot and Partitioning
[09:07] <happymuffin> bidash: hmm
[09:07] <Madpilot> carbanm, you shouldn't have to use sudo to get something like asmn working. Does it work if you just use 'amsn' in the term or in the launcher?
[09:07] <Bidash> happymuffin oh ur talking about the link u gave me first right?
[09:07] <happymuffin> bidash: this page right? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation
[09:07] <Bidash> happymuffin no this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows
[09:07] <gonnaeatthat> whats the best objectdock in ubuntu cause gdesklets is the sux
[09:08] <carbanm> Error in startup script: error copying "langlist" to "/home/william/.amsn/langlist.xml": permission denied
[09:08] <ubunturos> aBuSeR: any success?
[09:08] <happymuffin> bidash: ok sorry it must have gotten bit off somewhre along the way
[09:08] <Gorlist> morning! - how can change directory via terminal if the folder im wanting to go to has a space within the name :)
[09:08] <Bidash> the standard way cant work for me since i don't have a cddrive aroudn here even :S
[09:08] <aBuSeR> that disk manager is taking way to long to load
[09:09] <Madpilot> carbanm, check the permissions & ownership of /.amsn - something might have gotten screwed up there
[09:09] <frustratedwithed> OK, no one familiar with LTSP or NFS.  Anyone familiar with ubunutu?
[09:09] <ubunturos> Gorlist: after typing part of the name, press a 'Tab'
[09:09] <frustratedwithed> :-)
[09:09] <aBuSeR> its got the hour glass
[09:09] <aBuSeR> nthing is happenign yet
[09:09] <carbanm> how do i do that?
[09:09] <ubunturos> aBuSeR: :-?
[09:09] <Gorlist> ubunturos: thanks!
[09:09] <varka> Gorlist: just write an \ before the space
[09:09] <ubunturos> aBuSeR: do you have Gparted
[09:09] <ubunturos> ?
[09:10] <ubunturos> frustratedwithed: what is it with NFS?
[09:10] <Bidash> haha X) "The ubuntu installer's partitioner is one of the safest ways to partition a hard disk. This is not an excuse for not making backups of your important files."
[09:10] <aBuSeR> dont know what that is
[09:10] <aBuSeR> and no i dont
[09:10] <kr3ml_> Im fed up with this shit... I have tried to make beryl work on ubuntu for several days now, ati drivers dont work, xgl not working properly... can some one help me with the ati drivers... right now its non direct rendering or something... and work as mesa...
[09:10] <Bidash> except for ofcourse the infamous bug with the partitioner
[09:10] <ubunturos> aBuSeR: Under system -> Preferences you should  have a program named GParted
[09:10] <frustratedwithed> ubunturos: How do I diagnose problems with NFS, is there a log somewhere of attempts, successes  or failures?
[09:10] <happymuffin> bidash:  hmm well you will have fun if you have any trouble, without a CD drive
[09:10] <carbanm> Madpilot: how do i check permissions and ownership?
[09:11] <^3pi^> grorlist: cd /home/the\ directory\ name/
[09:11] <ubunturos> aBuSeR: this could be used for formatting the flash drive
[09:11] <Bidash> happymuffin how is that you mean?
[09:11] <^3pi^> but use tab for autocompletion
[09:11] <ubunturos> frustratedwithed: /var/log/messages, is all that I know
[09:11] <Madpilot> carbanm, one sec, figuring out exactly which command you need
[09:11] <carbanm> thanks.
[09:11] <frustratedwithed> thx I'll try
[09:11] <happymuffin> bidash: i would generally recommend to boot from an install CD before installing to get familiar with it, but if you can't...
[09:12] <Gorlist> right, im trying to use the ntfsundelete tool
[09:12] <carbanm> is a usb cd drive not a possibility?
[09:12] <Gorlist> via the terminal - do I enter as follows             ntfsundelete -s /media/Windows Drive       ??
[09:12] <carbanm> is there a way i can get +rwix access to my ntfs partitions?
[09:12] <happymuffin> bidash: what's your windows version?
[09:12] <Gorlist> ah means device
[09:13] <Bidash> happymuffin well there seems to be a simple tool for installing from c:\boot instead of from cd.. it will probably launch same installer.. however i'm afraid of the partition tool. do you kno/remember if the partition tool during ubuntu install gave u the option to not do anything to the partitions?
[09:13] <Madpilot> carbanm, in terminal, type "ls -la ~" - it'll give you a long list, scroll back to near the top, find the line with .amsn in it, paste ONLY THAT LINE here
[09:13] <Zjoske> how can you see wich motherboard you got?
[09:13] <Bidash> happymuffin i got xp. i wanna have both by setting aside a few gigs for a partition with ubuntu on..
[09:14] <Bidash> happymuffin btw when you said partition magic did you mean Norton's?
[09:15] <carbanm> drwx------  8 root    root       4096 2007-05-11 00:41 .amsn
[09:15] <^3pi^> Bidash: the partion tool in installer is safe! It wont format your ntfs if not asked for...
[09:15] <ubunturos> carbanm: you'll have to install ntfs-3g on *buntu for rw
[09:15] <carbanm> i tried sudo chown username .amsn, and got some error
[09:15] <Bidash> ^3pi^ i read about an infamous bug with ubuntus partitionprog (or some other related prog during install) that made it impossible to boot back into windows after ubuntu was installed
[09:15] <happymuffin> bidash: yes that's the one i meant, but like ^3pi^ said the one in the installer is safe
[09:16] <^3pi^> :) oh i've done it so many times without any problems...
[09:16] <Bidash> happymuffin but you weren't sure which partitioner (which ubuntu release) had the infamous bug.. if it's the one i get.. then it's not safe
[09:16] <^3pi^> any without a backup too !
[09:16] <Bidash> ^3pi^ what ubunturelease was that?
[09:17] <carbanm> MadPilot: any thoughts?
[09:17] <happymuffin> bidash: well i would presume you will go with the latest release, and i'd be VERY surprised if you have trouble
[09:17] <^3pi^>  from dapper on...
[09:17] <Madpilot> carbanm, that should not be owned by root. it should be owned by you.
[09:17] <Bidash> i think i have to install breezy cause its the latest that supports netboot :/
[09:17] <carbanm> yeah, i tried chowning it
[09:17] <carbanm> and it was like "nope"
[09:18] <carbanm> well, kindof, i got some weird config error
[09:18] <Bidash> breezy is the one just before feisty right?
[09:18] <Madpilot> carbanm, do "sudo chown youruser:youruser ~/.amsn" - put your own user name where I put youruser
[09:18] <^3pi^> no it is edgy
[09:18] <Zjoske> is there a program like aida32 for ubuntu/linux?
[09:19] <Bidash> dapper, breezy, edgy, feisty?
[09:19] <Zjoske> (to view all the hardware
[09:19] <Zjoske> )
[09:19] <Zjoske> feisty
[09:19] <happymuffin> yep
[09:19] <Bidash> i keep forgetting.. god
[09:19] <Bidash> ah
[09:19] <carbanm> corruptconfig  /home/william/.amsn/gconfig.xml.old
[09:19] <^3pi^>  dapper, edgy feisty
[09:19] <happymuffin> i started with edgy and upgraded to feisty
[09:19] <crdlb> Bidash: breezy, dapper, edgy
[09:19] <^3pi^> breezy was 5.10 i think
[09:19] <Zjoske> is there a program like aida32 for ubuntu/linux?
[09:19] <crdlb> alphabetical :)
[09:19] <Zjoske> (to view all the hardware)
[09:19] <Madpilot> carbanm, you get that error when you try to run chown?
[09:20] <crdlb> Zjoske: hal-device-manager ?
[09:20] <carbanm> no, the chown went down fine
[09:20] <carbanm> that was launching amsn
[09:20] <Bidash> okay you guys don't seem to agree with eachother..
[09:20] <mzuverink> Can someone recommend a good docker, OSX style?
[09:20] <Bidash> which ofcourse makes me more confused than i already was X)
[09:20] <Madpilot> carbanm, there seems to be a permission error on that folder too
[09:20] <happymuffin> bidash: if you want to try the instlux it looks safe
[09:20] <Zjoske> crdlb how do you start it?
[09:20] <happymuffin> bidash: they're right, i was wrong
[09:20] <Bidash> perhaps you are wrong about the instlux too ;)
[09:20] <happymuffin> bidash: i didn't read your post close enough
[09:20] <Madpilot> carbanm, run "chmod -R 755 ~/.amsn"
[09:20] <Bidash> ah
[09:20] <Zjoske> crdlb: i cannot view my mobo there..
[09:21] <happymuffin> bidash: that could well be ;-)
[09:21] <Zjoske> i need to see which mobo i use..
[09:21] <Zjoske> (motherboard)
[09:21] <seescapes> what's mobo?
[09:21] <Bidash> happymuffin the first try i did failed hehe.. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows
[09:21] <Zjoske> motherboard
[09:21] <happymuffin> bidash: i would check it out with google etc. before trying it
[09:21] <crdlb> Zjoske: just run it, it's a command
[09:21] <Zjoske> yeah
[09:21] <crdlb> you can also use: lshw and lspci in the terminal
[09:21] <Zjoske> but there i cannot see which mobo i use..
[09:21] <Bidash> happymuffin i followed that.. the first link.. it installed.. rebooted.. nothing happend.. when i came back in windows it uninstalled that linux installer
[09:21] <Bidash> crdlb don't make this worse ;)
[09:22] <carbanm> Error in startup script: couldn't open "/home/william/.amsn/profiles": permission denied
[09:22] <carbanm> any way to chmod the contents of a folder?
[09:22] <carbanm> chown*
[09:22] <Madpilot> carbanm, the -R in the chmod command should have been recursive
[09:22] <ompaul> carbanm, chown -R foo
[09:23] <carbanm> oh, so now it just doesnt work. should i just reinstall amsn?
[09:23] <Madpilot> carbanm, and yah, I just realized I left the -R out of the chown command I gave you
[09:23] <carbanm> oh lol, alright
[09:23] <newman>  beginer
[09:23] <newman> hostname beginer
[09:23] <Madpilot> carbanm, do "sudo chown -R youruser:youruser ~/.amsn"
[09:24] <Bidash> since the automatic process didn't do anything, i wanna do the manual process from this site https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows. my question is.. since it's about breezy and i want feisty, can i follow those directiosn except i just replace breezy with feisty in that link they give? (manual process)
[09:24] <carbanm> Madpilot: thank you very much.
[09:24] <Madpilot> carbanm, working now?
[09:25] <carbanm> yep
[09:25] <carbanm> i just switched from windows 3 days ago, and the huge difference ive seen, is the community backing ubuntu rocks.
[09:25] <Madpilot> carbanm, how did you install amsn? That .amsn folder should never have been owned by root
[09:25] <carbanm> from a .deb
[09:26] <Madpilot> carbanm, you know that amsn is in Ubuntu's repositories?
[09:26] <carbanm> yeah lol the new version is awesome though
[09:26] <ompaul> carbanm, spend a little time checking out the various parts of "synaptic package management"
[09:26] <Bidash> question about netboot (locally): since the automatic process didn't do anything, i wanna do the manual process from this site https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows. my question is.. since it's about breezy and i want feisty, can i follow those directiosn except i just replace breezy with feisty in that link they give? (manual process)
[09:27] <carbanm> anyone have any really good repositories they would recommend?
[09:27] <PriceChild> carbanm, we do not support 3rd party repositories
[09:27] <kikr> what are the advantages of getting the LTS version except for long-term support?  it's an older version but receives more support?
[09:28] <PriceChild> carbanm, "system > admin > software sources" shows all the repositories we support
[09:28] <PriceChild> kikr, more stable arguable
[09:28] <PriceChild> *arguably
[09:28] <carbanm> alright, i apologise for asking
[09:28] <happymuffin> bidash: i'm gonna call it a night, have a good one and i hope you get it figured out
[09:28] <Bidash> happymuffin thnx. gnight!
[09:28] <kikr> k
[09:28] <ompaul> Bidash, that looks like its okay - not tested
[09:28] <ompaul> it myself
[09:28] <Bidash> okay
[09:28] <Madpilot> carbanm, given that there's something over 17,000 packages in Ubuntu's official repos, it's pretty rare you have to go outside of them to get something
[09:28] <kr3ml_> hey is there a sorta "task manager" like in windows for ubuntu?
[09:29] <cein> not rare enough
[09:29] <Madpilot> kr3ml_, System->Admin->System Monitor
[09:30] <tom_kelleher> could anybody tell me how I can copy some files to a USB External Hard Drive that won't let me click and drag it. I tried to do it via terminal but no luck
[09:30] <gsuveg> re
[09:31] <q-tip> tom is the usb disk mounted readonly ?
[09:31] <ubuntubeginz> hi i guys i installed mySQL from Synaptic Manager... do i know where it could have gotten installed... i am searching all over the place..thanks.
[09:31] <kr3ml_> madpilot: cool, tnx.. is there a shortcut , like ctrl+alt+del for windows
[09:31] <happymuffin> kr3ml_: try System-> Preferences-> Sessions-> Current Session tab
[09:31] <tom_kelleher> maybe, I assume HAL loaded it for me as it appeard on the desktop
[09:32] <Bidash> ompaul what do you make of this; the instlux supports breezy but no newer than that. if that is cause of instlux then that doesnt apply to my situation but if that is cause of netbooting then it applies to my situations. i have no idea how to find that out, any ideas?
[09:32] <Madpilot> kr3ml_, you can put a little system monitor applet on your toolbar, click that to get the full System Monitor
[09:32] <q-tip> you can try sudo cp stuff /media/usbdisk
[09:33] <Bidash> ompaul "my situation" is the one you replied to before
[09:33] <gsuveg> i have i945 chip in my notebook. i would like setup xinerama. im setup 2 Device with same BusID, server dont find my card.
[09:33] <ompaul> Bidash, try it
[09:33] <gsuveg> any idea ?
[09:33] <Madpilot> kr3ml_, right click on an empty piece of top or bottom panel/toolbar, select Add To Panel, find the System Monitor, then right-click on that to configure/customize it
[09:33] <Bidash> ompaul what is the worst that can happen, according to your guess? (my guess is useless)
[09:33] <tom_kelleher> q-tip, I tried that but since the name is "HP Personal Media Drive" the terminals doesnt understand it
[09:33] <ompaul> Bidash, it fails .. and you learn that it does not work
[09:33] <Bidash> haha
[09:33] <kr3ml_> Madpilot: thank you! :)
[09:33] <Bidash> very funny
[09:34] <Bidash> ompaul i mean is there a risk that i cant boot back into windows?
[09:34] <q-tip> ok well check the mount path use $sudo mount
[09:35] <ompaul> Bidash, that will always be a risk - backup backup backup etc - but then I never think about sharing my machine with things other than linux kerenels
[09:35] <ompaul> Bidash, grab the iso and use it
[09:35] <Bidash> i cant burn it
[09:36] <tom_kelleher> q-tip, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20306/
[09:36] <tom_kelleher> thats what I get
[09:36] <Bidash> perhaps i need the iso anyway to do this netboot stuff.. not sure.. the ubuntu guide hasnt said anything about it.. i wonder where it's gonna get all the ubuntu content from X)
[09:36] <ompaul> Bidash, find someone with a burner and get them to give you a hand - .se is not exactly short of people with computers ;-)
[09:37] <Bidash> okay okay i have a cd burner but i don't have a cd and i wanna install ubuntu NOW haha
[09:37] <mwe> tom_kelleher: umask=222 means no write access
[09:37] <tom_kelleher> mwe, oh thank you I didnt know that, how do I fix that?
[09:37] <luke> is there a dock in the repositories thats easy to setup? something like kiba-dock?
[09:38] <Zjoske> how do you install wine?
[09:38] <mwe> tom_kelleher: leave out umask or set it to 022 or something like that
[09:38] <ompaul> !wine | Zjoske
[09:38] <ubotu> Zjoske: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[09:38] <tom_kelleher> mwe, how would I change that ? sudo mount somthing?
[09:38] <gsuveg> re
[09:39] <mwe> tom_kelleher: is the mount point present in /etc/fstab?
[09:39] <mwe> tom_kelleher: eg, how did you mount it?
[09:39] <gsuveg> in lspic im see 00:02.0 and 00:02.1 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03)
[09:39] <tom_kelleher> mwe, it showed up on it's own so I assume HAL did it
[09:40] <mwe> tom_kelleher: well add it to /etc/fstab if it's not present
[09:40] <mwe> !mount | tom_kelleher
[09:40] <ubotu> tom_kelleher: Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[09:40] <mwe> !fstab | tom_kelleher
[09:40] <ubotu> tom_kelleher: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[09:41] <zcat[1] > cd /hocai
[09:41] <zcat[1] > dammit..
[09:41] <mwe> tom_kelleher: then remount it
[09:42] <luke> how can i install svn?
[09:42] <mwe> luke: sudo apt-get install subversion
[09:42] <kinkin> wow, ubuntu just asked me to resize my ntfs partition, and then ontop of it all, import my documents *faints* this is amazing!
[09:42] <tom_kelleher>  mwe, sorry I'm still trying to do what you said
[09:42] <cein> sudo apt-get install subversion
[09:42] <cein> ?
[09:42] <mwe> tom_kelleher: all right
[09:43] <luke> mwe, thanks
[09:43] <skizo> hello
[09:43] <javes> does thunderbird need to be open to check for new email, or is there a less obtrusive way to run it?
[09:43] <javes> so it can check for new mail
[09:43] <kraut> moin
[09:43] <zcat[1] > kinkin: no, it will e amazing if it gets it right.. the import thing is new and I've heard a bit buggy still
[09:43] <cein> javes: use one of the auto mail checking programs
[09:43] <javes> cein, such as?
[09:43] <Glombool> Anyone know of a good open source ISP control panel?
[09:43] <mwe> tom_kelleher: you got stuck?
[09:43] <cein> i use this: http://www.nongnu.org/mailnotify/
[09:43] <tom_kelleher> mwe, kinda
[09:43] <javes> cein, gracias
[09:44] <compengi> shouldn't any program installed manually be marked in repos for a successful removal?
[09:44] <momoru> So what's the state of linux NTFS write support?
[09:44] <skizo> I installed ubuntu 7.04 for amd64 platform,but when I run applications like firefox,it takes a while
[09:44] <kinkin> zcat[1] : i have no documents on that system, and didn't actually use the option, just thought it was cool ;)
[09:44] <cein> you can also get AllTray and use it to minimize your thunderbird but still keep it open
[09:44] <zcat[1] > kinkin: yes, it is cool...
[09:44] <javes> i'm going to check out this thing
[09:44] <mwe> !ntfs-3g | tom_kelleher
[09:44] <ubotu> tom_kelleher: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[09:44] <cein> momoru: try ntfs-3g
[09:44] <cein> http://www.ntfs-3g.org/
[09:45] <kinkin> zcat[1] : last distro I used as a desktop was... i think Redhat 9... so this is kinda a jump.. lol
[09:45] <mwe> tom_kelleher: try reading the last link from ubotu
[09:45] <tom_kelleher> mwe, thanks
[09:45] <mwe> tom_kelleher: come back if you get stuck
[09:45] <cein> ntfs-3g rocks
[09:45] <luke> autogen failes with the message "shift: 242: can't shift that many"
[09:45] <cjae> anyone know what autorrent is???
[09:45] <cein> ubotu knows his stuff
[09:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about knows his stuff - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:46] <aftertaf> lol
[09:46] <kinkin> cjae: sounds like a bit torrent app by the sound of the name?
[09:46] <mwe> cein: and ntfs-3g is included in feisty ;)
[09:46] <momoru> Oh that's cool.  So linux has stable ntfs write support?
[09:46] <cein> mwe: even awesomer
[09:46] <mwe> momoru: right
[09:46] <momoru> That's awesome.
[09:46] <cein> now we can all throw away fat32
[09:46] <momoru> It makes me smile
[09:47] <mwe> momoru: you can't change permissions of files, though.
[09:47] <cein> i did have one problem with it tho
[09:47] <cjae> I assume it is a bittorrent for another language???
[09:47] <cein> foreign character support
[09:47] <javes> cein, once i've downloaded the .tgz file, what do i do? heh
[09:47] <kinkin> stable ntfs support? wow... i have been gone from the linux communitity for too long.. lol
[09:47] <mwe> momoru: only read/write/create files
[09:47] <^3pi^> i love my fatty partiotion :D
[09:47] <cein> i wasn't able to copy files w/ foreign (i.e. non-english) characters to ntfs under ubuntu
[09:47] <cjae> client
[09:47] <^3pi^> i'll never throw it awasy
[09:47] <cein> javes: "tar -xvzf [filename] "
[09:47] <momoru> Oh well.  It's not like I need it anymore.
[09:47] <cein> and install like a normal proggie
[09:47] <mwe> momoru: new files created in linux can be accessed by anyone in windows
[09:47] <momoru> I have linux running on a dedicated box.
[09:47] <javes> ok
[09:47] <javes> thanks
[09:47] <mwe> momoru: that is until you change it from windows
[09:48] <jason__> i have a p4 cpu should i install the 686 kernel
[09:48] <mwe> jason__: the installer will install the appropiate kernel for you
[09:49] <momoru> So what's the newest stable version of Ubuntu?  Edgy?
[09:49] <ubuntubeginz> fiesta...
[09:49] <jason__> i read it installs i386 as default
[09:49] <mwe> momoru: feisty
[09:49] <momoru> I thought Feisty was the new test build.
[09:49] <ubuntubeginz> oops..sorry wrong spelling.. :)
[09:49] <jason__> is that true
[09:50] <mwe> jason__: it installs the generic one
[09:50] <mwe> jason__: as it should
[09:50] <zcat[1] > too many of my machines are still dual boot. I'm going to drop windows from all but one..
[09:50] <zcat[1] > actually, that would only be one..
[09:50] <jason__> but isnt the 686 for p2's and up
[09:50] <cein> haha momoru gotta read the website
[09:50] <momoru> I'm still running Breezy.  I requested and received a disc for Dapper but never got around to installing it.
[09:51] <cein> !
[09:51] <mwe> to my knowledge there is no specific 686 linux image in feisty
[09:51] <PriceChild> momoru, breezy has reached "End Of Life" and all users are suggested to upgrade.
[09:51] <PriceChild> momoru, you will not receive any more security patches.
[09:51] <HiddenHax> does anyone know how to use an msi file in wine?
[09:51] <jason__> Pentium 2+ (686) kernel
[09:51] <ubuntubeginz> momoru: c'mmon man... install  fiesty Fawn..and try the f**king *beryl*..its awesome
[09:52] <kinkin> PriceChild: that actually sounds so microsoft... way to stick the updates to the man! lol.. good idea mind you
[09:52] <mwe> PriceChild: I think it will for a total of 18 months, no?
[09:52] <PriceChild> mwe, the benefits of dedicated 686 kernel aren't very much. Its super fast to load all the optimisations ont he fly
[09:52] <jason__> linux-k7 for adm
[09:52] <momoru> Do they offer a version of the installer disc that will allow me to just do a dist upgrade from the disc isntead of doing a fresh install?
[09:52] <compengi> how to uninstall pidgin if installed manually through compiling steps, and into it's default directory
[09:52] <mwe> PriceChild: I know
[09:52] <jsgotangco> momoru: just put the disc and it should be able to tell you if you want to upgrade
[09:53] <uros> hello
[09:53] <jsgotangco> (put the disc in the existing session that is)
[09:53] <zcat[1] > momoru: the alternative disk does I think... upgrade to dapper and you get security updates for 5 years I think.. three at least
[09:53] <kinkin> what is the package management program for ubuntu? apt? or?
[09:53] <zcat[1] > not sure how that works
[09:53] <PriceChild> kinkin, apt
[09:53] <jason__> or is the 686-smp better for the P4
[09:53] <kinkin> PriceChild: thanks, just finished my install of fiesty fawn!!! :D
[09:53] <PriceChild> jason__, -smp is for multicore machines
[09:53] <PriceChild> jason__, although isn't needed anymore afaik
[09:54] <orbin> i thought they did away with 686, k7 etc. and now just have a generic kernel.
[09:54] <mwe> the generic kernel has smp support
[09:54] <ubuntubeginz> momoru: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xC5uEe5OzNQ ... for those still considering a move to Ubuntu..chk this out...
[09:54] <^3pi^> kinkin: apt, or synaptic (X)
[09:55] <mwe> orbin: right
[09:55] <momoru> I'm on dialup.  Can you just tell me what's in the video?
[09:56] <cein> beryl doesn't seem like all it's cracked up to be
[09:56] <ubuntubeginz> momoru: its a visual thing,man...how can i tell U... nvm then...
[09:56] <cein> just a few effects
[09:56] <tom_kelleher> mwe, well I think I can write NTFS now, except my USB drive is unable to be mounted, apparently it's corrupt
[09:56] <cein> i mean impressive to code i'm sure, but not amounting to much useful in the end
[09:56] <zcat[1] > I might as well be on dialup.. this connection is SLOW tonight :(
[09:56] <mhanu70> hi everibody
[09:56] <cein> hi

[09:56] <ubuntubeginz> cein: the 3D cube thing is cool.. i use it...
[09:56] <zcat[1] > cein: sort of like aero then?
[09:57] <cein> zcat[1] : more or less
[09:57] <jason__> iam back

[09:59] <zcat[1] > toro: alt-F2 gconf-editor
[09:59] <toro> k
[09:59] <tom_kelleher> PriceChild, not an option atm :(
[09:59] <reptyl_> im trying to upgrade to feisty but im getting this error: Failed to fetch http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy-commercial/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2)
[09:59] <mhanu70> is there any minimal requiremens?
[10:00] <ubuntubeginz> mhanu70: i am 1Gb ram..not much issue...
[10:00] <javes> cein, i tried to run the ./configure and i got a message saying i need GTK+..
[10:00] <momoru> Bah.  I'd have to upgrade to dapper, then to edgy, before I could upgrade to feisty
[10:00] <zcat[1] > toro: then I'd have to go find where the setting is again
[10:00] <PriceChild> tom_kelleher, ntfs is a proprietory system and we have had to make educated "guesses" on how it works. how did you corrupt it?
[10:00] <mhanu70> i am 1.26 gb ram e nd Geforce FX 128MB
[10:00] <cein> so then... i think you need GTK ;-)
[10:00] <compengi> where are the default applications installed in root?
[10:00] <cein> just a hunch
[10:00] <javes> right
[10:00] <gsuveg> re
[10:00] <toro> oh
[10:00] <javes> do you know the apt-get command for it?
[10:00] <cein> nope
[10:01] <kr3ml> why cant there be "fix-beryl-and-ati-drivers-and-xgl-and-whatever-els" button ?
[10:01] <javes> yar
[10:01] <tom_kelleher> PriceChild, badly removed according to the error. Happened when I installed an app to write to it
[10:01] <gsuveg> hmm. my xorg dont detect second monitor ... :(
[10:01] <cein> ubotu gtk
[10:01] <ubotu> GTK is the !GIMP toolkit, which forms the base of !GNOME and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI
[10:01] <mhanu70> is that enough?
[10:01] <ubuntubeginz> mhanu70: serious it still slow... mine is lower... did u get the driver for graphics card..
[10:01] <mhanu70> yes
[10:01] <toro> well alt-f2 worked, but it dont display any gconf whatever
[10:01] <void^> mhanu70: geforce fx 5200?
[10:01] <mhanu70> ubuntubeginz: yes....
[10:02] <toro> do i run with the gconf
[10:02] <CheshireViking> tom_kelleher, if you don't need the information on the usb key, why not reformat it as fat32 then it'll be useable by linux & windows machines
[10:02] <kr3ml> I can someone be honest and tell me if there is no support for x1900 graphic card...
[10:02] <insmod> i run that on a debian box

[10:02] <PriceChild> tom_kelleher, ntfs-3g is the app you installed?
[10:02] <ubuntubeginz> mhanu: not sure..dude... why dont u close the beryl-manager..its not neccesary...
[10:03] <orbin> toro: alt+f2 just brings up the run dialog.  enter the command zcat[1]  gave
[10:03] <tom_kelleher> PriceChild, yep
[10:03] <zcat[1] > toro: alt-f2 and type gconf-editor in the box. Then dig your way down; apps > panel > objects > menu_bar > custom-icon & use-custom-icon
[10:03] <PriceChild> tom_kelleher, grrr i had a warning in !ntfs-3g and someone removed it :(

[10:06] <compengi> PriceChild, you mean in the source directory or where it's been installed?
[10:06] <PriceChild> tom_kelleher, sdb not sbd
[10:06] <PriceChild> compengi, the source directory, where you installed it from.
[10:07] <compengi> okay
[10:07] <aftertaf> compengi: in the directory containing the sources, there where you ran the make install...
[10:07] <tom_kelleher> same prob PriceChild
[10:07] <zcat[1] > how often do makefiles have an uninstall option? :)
[10:07] <PriceChild> tom_kelleher, are you sure that's the correct drive?
[10:07] <mhanu70> ok i did something else ( i m really new :-)...now i try.... i'll let you know

[10:08] <aftertaf> !ifs

[10:08] <zcat[1] > nothing is _ever_ safe..
[10:08] <cein> hehe
[10:09] <aftertaf> safe as in safe, not safe as in safe as safe can be...
[10:09] <cein> good rule of thumb
[10:09] <compengi> PriceChild, it worked thanks, but what about if i had installed the pidgin b7 before it are they uninstalled too when i had uninstalled pidign 2.0 now/
[10:09] <zcat[1] > "safe as in offsite backups"
[10:09] <PriceChild> compengi, I don't know... but there will almost definitely by pieces left behind... names have changed most probably
[10:09] <cein> of course then you have to worry about security

[10:15] <javes> how do i install a tar.gz file? god i hate being a newb
[10:16] <PriceChild> javes, my opinion is that you shouldn't :P
[10:16] <godlygeek> so, on my new macbook, fn-left and fn-right on my keyboard send the keycodes for home and end, respectively - is there any way to add new function-key combinations?  i can't seem to find any way to bind function-key combinations with xmodmap or anything...?
[10:16] <aftertaf> javes: tar xvzf file
[10:16] <toro> i can help
[10:16] <PriceChild> javes, what is it that you want to install?
[10:16] <zcat[1] > javes: 'you don't'
[10:16] <shuan> brb
[10:16] <cein> javes: "tar -xvzf [filename] " (didn't i tell you this before?)
[10:16] <javes> i know!
[10:16] <javes> i'm working on it heh
[10:16] <Terminus> javes: a tar.gz file is simply a compressed archive, like a zip file. you just don't install them. =)
[10:16] <cein> :-)
[10:16] <aftertaf> javes: you need to uncompress it, then you need to make it - cant you use  a package instead?
[10:16] <cein> , as they say
[10:16] <javes> right i understand that
[10:16] <gsuveg> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20308/ < maybe anybody see something wrong in my xinerama config ?
[10:17] <ubuntubeginz> cein: for the rest in the channel..wat it means
[10:17] <zcat[1] > javes: seriously.. it's much easier (short and long term) to install software only via package management.
[10:17] <cein> it means take it easy
[10:17] <Startled_Potato> just popped in to say I am finally an Ubuntu user
[10:17] <javes> i'd rather learn the command line
[10:17] <cein> congratulation Startled_Potato
[10:17] <Terminus> zcat[1] : just because it's a tarball doesn't mean it's source code. =)
[10:17] <javes> but yeah your right
[10:17] <cein> oh
[10:17] <Startled_Potato> ty
[10:17] <kinkin> what is the best/easiest way to install vnc on ubuntu?
[10:17] <godlygeek> javes: -xzvf = extract, list files as they are extracted, ungzip, and use file whatever.tgz
[10:17] <Bidash> why did i see asian symbols. i didnt install that X)
[10:17] <cein> does anyone use a logitech MX___ mouse?
[10:17] <aftertaf> javes: keep the idea of building for later, though i respect your desire to want to learn ;)
[10:18] <Startled_Potato> was using a buggy mandriva before....but finally got my speedtouch working tith ubuntu 7.04
[10:18] <Terminus> Bidash: that's what you get from a utf-8 console. =P
[10:18] <aftertaf> javes: but if it does existas a package, use that isntead.... simpler
[10:18] <cein> yeah you should learn the command line first javes, then you'll understand what the GUI is doing
[10:18] <Bidash> Terminus say what? X)
[10:18] <tom_kelleher> PriceChild, will it be a problem if there are space in the name of the drive?
[10:18] <toro> witch object do i select Object_0 .. ect
[10:18] <HiddenHax> does anyone know how to use an msi file in wine?
[10:18] <aftertaf> Startled_Potato: a much better bag ofchips dont you thik? congrats ;)
[10:18] <javes> what better way then to mess around with it?
[10:18] <HiddenHax> does anyone know how to use an msi file in wine?
[10:18] <zcat[1] > javes: seriously, when you install from source it isn't just harder immediately, you also mess up apt's idea of what is already installed, making future maintenance of the machine much, much harder..
[10:18] <PriceChild> tom_kelleher, "shouldn't" be
[10:18] <aftertaf> HiddenHax: ouf! nasty
[10:18] <HiddenHax> does anyone know how to use an msi file in wine?
[10:18] <Startled_Potato> chips???? get outa my head!!!!!
[10:18] <cein> javes, well the best way is to read the man ;-)
[10:19] <Startled_Potato> lol
[10:19] <Terminus> javes: if you're not afraid of blowing an OS away on that box, by all means, experiment. =)
[10:19] <tom_kelleher> PriceChild, now I'm having to force it to mount. But it's giving me greif again
[10:19] <javes> yeah
[10:19] <PriceChild> javes, what is it that you want to install?
[10:19] <ubuntubeginz> HiddenHax: try crossover...its much ezy
[10:19] <javes> some dumb mail notification thing heh
[10:19] <aftertaf> javes: to learn? you're right........ but be aware that after playing and learning, follows reinstallation
[10:19] <Terminus> javes: packages are real convenient though. i can compile from source if i have to but i don't like to. =)
[10:19] <godlygeek> javes: i agree, though, don't install software from a tgz unless you have too... and if you do, use './configure --prefix=/opt' to install somewhere where no packages will for easier removal.  :)
[10:19] <javes> yeah i know, i dont mind reformatting
[10:19] <javes> right, i  was reading that
[10:19] <cein> i like compiling from source... when things work right
[10:19] <aftertaf> e17 :)
[10:19] <Startled_Potato> anyhoo, since this is a support channel, am outa here to figure out what i need to instal
[10:20] <Terminus> javes: chasing dev libs is fun. =D
[10:20] <zcat[1] > I know how to compile from source, but I don't think I've needed to for several years now..
[10:20] <aftertaf> make && pray
[10:20] <javes> Terminus, when i learn what that is heh

[10:21] <cein> !library
[10:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about library - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:21] <javes> hey i got it installed and my wireless and second monitor working, at this point its all gravey
[10:21] <godlygeek> I have to install from source pretty regularly for things that aren't available as packages... and i regularly use apt-get source and dpkg-buildpackage to rebuild packages with the config options they should have been build in the first place.  :)
[10:21] <cein> gravey?
[10:21] <Terminus> javes: if you're compiling the source for some complicated software, it generally will require you to have the source for a bunch of libraries too.
[10:21] <javes> *shrug*
[10:21] <javes> right
[10:21] <aftertaf> javes: what are you wanting to install anyway? kde4? :)
[10:21] <cein> i could go for some pie myself... or a piece of cake
[10:22] <zcat[1] > godlygeek: almost everything is availableas packages, you just have to find a few nonstandard repos!
[10:22] <javes> i was looking for the right on on the synaptic, said i needed GTK+ libraries
[10:22] <cyber> inuinui
[10:22] <javes> cigarette, good idea
[10:22] <Terminus> javes: it becomes even more interesting when some piece of code will require a particular version of a lib. >_<
[10:22] <MerlinZShell> hello guys
[10:22] <javes> oooh
[10:22] <godlygeek> zcat[1] : i trust nonstandard repos less than building from source, and if i build from source, i try to use 'checkinstall' - installs in a sandbox and creates a .deb out of the binaries
[10:23] <cein> sudo apt-get remove nicotine-addiction
[10:23] <tom_kelleher> PriceChild, if you could can you take a look at this and tell me what I seem to have done wrong? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20310/
[10:23] <zcat[1] > ./configure && apt-get install libfoo-dev && ./configure && apt-get install libsomethingelse-dev && ...
[10:23] <javes> i found a site that explains alot about the command line and creating scripts, i think thats my next read
[10:23] <cein> if only it were that easy, eh?
[10:23] <zcat[1] > godlygeek: well at least you do it right, I guess :)
[10:23] <PriceChild> godlygeek, checkinstall is BAD!!!
[10:24] <godlygeek> PriceChild: why?  :)
[10:24] <PriceChild> godlygeek, it does nasty things when making the deb, breaks things by assuming too much
[10:24] <aftertaf> javes: yeah, good call... Not being afraid of not understanding is a good step forward... as long as you know that sometime you may have to start afresh... ;) good attitude dude :)
[10:24] <PriceChild> doesn't do checks that it should
[10:24] <PriceChild> godlygeek, use at own risk :)
[10:24] <MerlinZShell> how can i install ntfs-config synaptec cant find it
[10:24] <MerlinZShell> ?
[10:25] <javes> yeah this laptop is just for fun now
[10:25] <aftertaf> "does nasty things when making the deb, breaks things " - i thought that was standard debian practise? ;)
[10:25] <zcat[1] > javes: just for fun is good...
[10:25] <javes> linux isnt going anywhere near my macbook pro
[10:25] <aftertaf> for now ;)
[10:25] <javes> not yet atleast
[10:25] <godlygeek> PriceChild: well, i'd have to guess that a broken deb is still easier to uninstall than the results of a 'sudo make install', so until i find something that works better... lol
[10:25] <godlygeek> javes: works great on my macbook, nearly perfectly out of the box.
[10:25] <MerlinZShell> guys can anyone help me setting up my ntfs-config ?
[10:25] <cein> anyone tried gobolinux?
[10:26] <Terminus> javes: once you get a handle on things, you might want to check out slackware/gentoo and once you're tired of all the inconvenience, come back to ubuntu. :)
[10:26] <javes> yeah i bet beryl would be alot smoother on it
[10:26] <javes> its got some issues with my nvidia card
[10:26] <aftertaf> "why isnt wifi working?"
[10:26] <Terminus> oh yeah, don't run gentoo on a pentium classic. you'll probably have to wait a year to get a working system. =D
[10:26] <aftertaf> "its not supposed to right now..." - i love delevopers :)
[10:27] <javes> heh
[10:27] <carrothead> aftertaf, different wireless cards use different chipsets, which have different levels of support in linux I think
[10:27] <javes> lets get some broadcom support!
[10:27] <aftertaf> totally.... and in gutsy, waiting for merge. i dist-upgraded too soon, alas
[10:27] <zcat[1] > some wifi manufacturers are paranoid and won't tell us how their chips work :(
[10:27] <javes> top sekrat
[10:28] <carrothead> I have a broadcom, spent ages getting it working only to find that ad-hoc mode doesnt seem to be supported yet
[10:28] <aftertaf> like modems, gfx cards, soundcards, usb, etc.......
[10:28] <ubuntubeginz> Terminus: hei, is gentoo the most insane to configure .. linux distro
[10:28] <tom_kelleher> PriceChild, if you could can you take a look at this and tell me what I seem to have done wrong? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20310/
[10:28] <cein> there are a lot of people here
[10:28] <toro> <zcat[1] > in Vaue do i tell it where the icon is
[10:28] <Terminus> ubuntubeginz: from my experience, it's one step above LFS. hahaha
[10:29] <javes> hey, thanks alot guys, i'll play with this more after my final tomorrow, linux, ultimate procrastination
[10:29] <cein> and probably bots too... ;-)
[10:29] <zcat[1] > toro: yes
[10:29] <Madpilot> zcat[1] , s/paranoid/stupid :P
[10:29] <PriceChild> tom_kelleher, i looked and didn'tknow at first glance
[10:29] <toro> well i did and nothing happened
[10:29] <aftertaf> tom_kelleher: /media/HP Personal Media Drive
[10:29] <carrothead> I am quite new to linux, and my fresh install of ubuntu 6.06 on a dell inspiron laptop seems to randomly freeze at the desktop, does anyone where can I look at logs? thanks
[10:29] <toro> i did it to every object
[10:29] <aftertaf> tom_kelleher: afaik it needs \ \\ in it for the spaces.... correct me if im wrong someone
[10:30] <aftertaf> carrothead: /var/log
[10:30] <PriceChild> tom_kelleher, get rid of the name
[10:30] <aftertaf> carrothead: and run a memtest.
[10:30] <PriceChild> tom_kelleher, or enclose it in "s
[10:30] <carrothead> thanks aftertaf, I did a memtest overnight, and dual boot into windows, no problems in windows, but ill check /var/log
[10:30] <aftertaf> or reduce it to HP
[10:30] <zcat[1] > you\ need\ to\ escape\ the\ spaces
[10:31] <aftertaf> carrothead: and i recomend going to 6.10
[10:31] <ubuntubeginz> Terminus: :D ... prob you can come up with ur own distro(Terminus) is much easier ah than gentoo... :D
[10:31] <cBau> carrothead: my friend has had much greater success with Feisty on his dell laptop
[10:31] <rijo_> :1
[10:31] <toro> you talking to me
[10:31] <Terminus> ubuntubeginz: no way. i'm lazy. and we've been OT for far too long. =)
[10:31] <aftertaf> toro: no to tom_kelleher
[10:31] <carrothead> cBau really, I guess I can install that instead
[10:31] <zcat[1] > toro: not about the \'s, no..
[10:32] <carrothead> any idea why 6.06 is not as good?
[10:32] <rijo_> ow
[10:32] <toro> lol ok
[10:32] <zcat[1] > toro: although if the path to your icon has spaces in it ...
[10:32] <aftertaf> no idea........ but 6.10 is really nice... and IIRC i has some pbs like that too. probably the kernel with that version, maybe not though.....
[10:32] <rijo_> how i switch channels in irssi? :P
[10:32] <toro> lol ok
[10:32] <cBau> just the evolution of support... newer versions= prettier, shinier, more supported in my experience....
[10:33] <toro> i told every Object where it is, and set every one to use the custom icon, nothing happened
[10:33] <carrothead> cool
[10:33] <ubuntubeginz> is there any use in doing memtesting...at the boot points
[10:33] <cBau> it also gets easier and easier to configure... more hands off, automatic stuff
[10:33] <tom_kelleher> I changed it from HP Personal Media Drive to HP and it worked. It didn't work with the "s or the \s
[10:33] <aftertaf> apart for trzting mem, dont think so ;P
[10:33] <carrothead> cBau, then how will I ever learn lol
[10:33] <aftertaf> tom_kelleher: ok cool :)
[10:33] <tom_kelleher> thank you all
[10:33] <aftertaf> carrothead: you can ALWAYS open the bonnet in ubuntu :)
[10:33] <zcat[1] > toro: hmmm.. thats odd.
[10:34] <toro> very
[10:34] <cein> tsmithe
[10:34] <laser-> Why is Ubuntu so popular?
[10:34] <cBau> hehe, i started ay 6.06, you learn as you go along....
[10:34] <toro> i put the directory where it was to /home/rankin/Desktop/apple.png
[10:34] <aftertaf> laser-: because its so good
[10:34] <carrothead> laser- because it loves you back
[10:34] <cein> laser: 1) Marketing 2) Ease of installation
[10:34] <toro> i need it to turn to an apple logo
[10:34] <aftertaf> carrothead: nice :)
[10:34] <cBau> and it doesn't change that drastically, it just works better with every release
[10:34] <laser-> aftertaf: Please detail
[10:34] <leStat666> Ubuntu is YOUR GOD!
[10:34] <cein> or rather, smoothness of installation ;-)
[10:34] <zcat[1] > laser-: It isn't. It's still way less 'popular' than 'doze :(
[10:34] <pvh_sa|wrk> hi, how do i search from the command line if a package is available in the repositories?
[10:35] <disinterested> synaptic told me to run --configure -a i did now its telling me to use the return key i have no idea which key thats supposed to be
[10:35] <haru> what port does cvs connect on
[10:35] <laser-> I don't care about "'doze"
[10:35] <toro> sofar my Gnome looks like a mac, everything except the logo
[10:35] <disinterested> ?
[10:35] <cBau> laser: It works smoothly, it installs easy
[10:35] <cein> disinterested: press enter
[10:35] <aftertaf> laser-: easy to install and use (for a linux distro), complete, great support, perfect teeth,....
[10:35] <laser-> And other distribution don't ?
[10:35] <cBau> nope
[10:35] <laser-> great support? the forums don't seem to be that helpful
[10:35] <pvh_sa|wrk> haru: you mean pserver?
[10:35] <cBau> not like Ubuntu
[10:35] <aftertaf> not to this scale, no.
[10:35] <tom_kelleher> except Grub was being a pain and now I have to reinstall everything ... but easy install
[10:35] <laser-> cBau: orly?
[10:35] <CheshireViking> laser-, its free, its not as susceptible to viruses/malware as windows, its well supported
[10:35] <cein> some come close, but nothing quite beats ubuntu
[10:35] <pvh_sa|wrk> haru: port 2401
[10:35] <haru> pvh_sa|wrk, cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@metascape.afraid.org:/cvsroot co kiba-dock .. which port will this connect on
[10:35] <cein> basically, only debian comes close ;-)
[10:35] <cBau> laser: lol, orly
[10:35] <disinterested> cein nope not that one
[10:35] <zcat[1] > toro: it's one of those settings anyhow... I changed mine but I'm not on my usual desktop right now.
[10:35] <laser-> I'm not talking about Ubuntu vs Windows, rather Ubuntu vs other free unixes
[10:36] <aftertaf> it loves you back is the best reply i've seen yet :)
[10:36] <haru> pvh_sa|wrk, thanks a lot
[10:36] <toro> ok
[10:36] <zcat[1] > ubuntu rocks
[10:36] <toro> yes
[10:36] <cBau> laser: ah, well... I run everything I need Ubuntu side... even World of Warcraft...
[10:36] <zcat[1] > it's just so much cooler than any other *nix.
[10:36] <orbin> pvh_sa|wrk: apt-cache search <package> ... or use something like aptitude
[10:36] <PriceChild> Could we take everything but support to
[10:36] <PriceChild> #ubuntu-offtopic please
[10:36] <toro> the gnome is good too
[10:36] <Ayabara> anyone using Mozilla Lightning from subversion? is it much better than the latest release?
[10:37] <aftertaf> sorry, good idea. PriceChild
[10:37] <pvh_sa|wrk> thanks orbin!
[10:37] <orbin> np
[10:37] <cBau> in the linux world, there's a lot of support within the community to make things work in ubuntu.... in my opinion
[10:37] <tom_kelleher> is there a virus scanner I can scan my USB HDD from Ubuntu to make sure there is nothing on it when I reconnect it to Windows
[10:37] <disinterested> cheese and rice
[10:37] <tom_kelleher> as in malware or virusus... etc
[10:38] <disinterested> the return key is supposed to be which one its not enter
[10:38] <PriceChild> !clamav | tom_kelleher
[10:38] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about clamav - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:38] <PriceChild> !info clamav | tom_kelleher
[10:38] <ubotu> tom_kelleher: clamav: antivirus scanner for Unix. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.90.2-0ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 849 kB, installed size 1280 kB
[10:38] <aftertaf> tom_kelleher: clam av - look in synaptic
[10:38] <PriceChild> tom_kelleher, there's also avgfree and a few others
[10:38] <cein> maybe this room should be named #ubuntu-help instead
[10:38] <carrothead> if I looked into manually upgrading my kernel on 6.06, to (maybe) address stability issues, would the new kernel break any ubuntu software? (fresh install) thanks
[10:38] <fb33> why when I launch beryl-manager I get black screen with non blinking cursosr?
[10:38] <tom_kelleher> lol thanks all
[10:38] <Ax3> is there a linux command that can delete all files in a directory matching a given string?
[10:38] <pvh_sa|wrk> carrothead: unlikely
[10:38] <PriceChild> carrothead, very easily if you don't know what you're doing
[10:39] <aftertaf> carrothead: it *shouldnt*, if you follow the correct guidance
[10:39] <pvh_sa|wrk> PriceChild: new kernel break packages? that's not so common
[10:39] <zcat[1] > Ax3: rm path/reg?lar??pression
[10:39] <PriceChild> carrothead, for example automounting of drives never works for me for some reason if make new kernels
[10:39] <pvh_sa|wrk> Ax3: what kind of string match you looking for?
[10:39] <aftertaf> but as PriceChild says, it can do very easily otherwise
[10:39] <carrothead> im just so new to all this, hehe
[10:39] <M_> am
[10:39] <PriceChild> carrothead, the community won't support problems with custom kernels either.
[10:39] <carbanm> is there an easy way to force fan control in feisty??
[10:39] <carrothead> ahh, ok thanks pricechild
[10:39] <tom_kelleher> PriceChild, Clam will scan for stuff that will effect Windows?
[10:39] <Ax3> for example all files/directories with the word MP3 in it?
[10:39] <PriceChild> tom_kelleher, yes
[10:40] <Ax3> ( pvh_sa|wrk )
[10:40] <mwe> automount works fine for me with a custom kernel, but yes you have to include the right drivers
[10:40] <cBau> carrothead: If you follow the upgrade path through 6.06>6.10>7.04 it should work.... theoretically... worked for me
[10:40] <ubuntubeginz> !beryl
[10:40] <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
[10:40] <pvh_sa|wrk> Ax3: rm *mp3*
[10:40] <PriceChild> Ax3, rm *.mp3 maybe...? i
[10:40] <aftertaf> carrothead: oh sorry, i read for your upgrade to 6.10......
[10:40] <Ax3> hmmm
[10:40] <carrothead> thanks cBau
[10:40] <cBau> but I am not a custom kerneler yet
[10:40] <aftertaf> carrothead: upgrade to 6.10, safe, making your own kernel in 6.06, less safe
[10:40] <PriceChild> Ax3, maybe best to do a test on the command first
[10:40] <javes|sleep> exit
[10:41] <carbanm> i have a tyan k7 thunder w/dual athlon 2ghzs, and the cpu fans are stuck at like 7k rpm
[10:41] <carbanm> and acpi/fan has nothing
[10:41] <zcat[1] > find path -name "*mp3*" -exec rm {} \;  just to be different
[10:41] <Ax3> pvh_sa|wrk \ PriceChild: ok thanks will give it a try
[10:41] <tom_kelleher> PriceChild, cool I've been paranoid since I realized I could transfer nasty stuff from a previous Windows install to a clean one by not makign sure the data I transfer is clean
[10:41] <livingdaylight> Hi
[10:41] <Ax3> zcat[1] : ooooooooh that looks elite hahha
[10:41] <PriceChild> tom_kelleher, its a very important thing to be aware of :)
[10:41] <phicho> hi can someone pls halp me i try to connect to net via wdsl but when i type in terminal sudo pppoeconf this program starts loading an reaches 100% but noting what is the problem ?
[10:41] <livingdaylight> Q: Anyone know how a .vem file is handled if at all in Linux?
[10:41] <mojoman> ax3: rm -rf *.mp3. But I would be very careful to play around with rm recursivly...
[10:41] <zcat[1] > Ax3: but rm *.mp3 is much easier :)
[10:41] <tom_kelleher> PriceChild, Security now tipped me of to that one.
[10:42] <PriceChild> livingdaylight, what is a vem file?
[10:42] <mwe> it won't remove Mp3 for example, though
[10:42] <livingdaylight> it comes from a webcam; video email
[10:42] <toro> heres a quick question
[10:42] <cein> video email...
[10:42] <carbanm> any thoughts on how i might be able to gain control of my fans?
[10:42] <PriceChild> livingdaylight, so a video file?
[10:42] <zcat[1] > rm *.[mM] [pP] 3
[10:42] <PriceChild> livingdaylight, what encoding?
[10:42] <toro> can i change applications to say somthing else
[10:42] <phicho> anyone ?
[10:42] <carbanm> it sounds like a helicopter is taking off in my bedroom
[10:42] <PriceChild> livingdaylight, have you tried?
[10:42] <livingdaylight> PriceChild, i'm checking properties
[10:42] <Sleepy_Coder> carbanm:  Stop fapping. :P
[10:42] <mwe> find -iname "*mp3*" -maxdepth 1 -exec rm {} \; should as well ;)
[10:42] <Ax3> mojoman / zcat[1] : ok thanks will give it a try
[10:43] <carbanm> Sleepy_Coder: okay, but now it sounds like a jet:P
[10:43] <Ax3> lmao mwe thank you as well hahaha
[10:43] <zcat[1] > actually does [mM] [pP] 3 work in the shell?
[10:43] <Sleepy_Coder> carbanm: lmao
[10:43] <zcat[1] > mwe: I basically said that, but without maxdepth
[10:43] <livingdaylight> PriceChild, when i try it says it is unable to open and that there is no application for handling this kind of file
[10:43] <mwe> zcat[1] : and -iname
[10:43] <Kmetovi> hi all, i have a problem on my notebook, i dont have working cd drive and can't boot from usb, is it possible to format one partition as fat32, make it bootable and copy all the files from cd on that partition ?
[10:44] <PriceChild> livingdaylight, tried pulling it into vlc?
[10:44] <ubuntubeginz> hei..just for some comic relief... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5D0phjQWUZ0 .... but dont discuss it here though...
[10:44] <mojoman> Ax3: note that this will delete files recursivly, i.e. in all sub-directories as well. Try locate *.mp3 first, that should give you a list on what you're about to remove.
[10:44] <PriceChild> have you got codecs installed?
[10:44] <davalex> Hi folks, I have a problem with my mouse pointer. I use a dual monitor setup, and on the extra screen my mouse pointer is just one big box. Has anyone got a idea why this happends?
[10:44] <livingdaylight> PriceChild, i've never come across a VEM file either
[10:44] <dinochopins> hi all
[10:44] <zcat[1] > mwe: find path -iname "*.mp3" -maxdepth 1 | xargs rm
[10:44] <dinochopins> I've installed postgresql
[10:44] <mwe> propbably needs to be -exec rm -rf {} \; to remove directories as well, though ;)
[10:44] <livingdaylight> PriceChild, no, i haven't. In fact i don't have VLC installed
[10:44] <dinochopins> and the directory reside in /usr/lib/postgresql
[10:44] <dinochopins> can i change it to /var/lib/postgresql
[10:44] <zcat[1] > mwe: find path -iname "*.mp3" -maxdepth 1 -type d | xargs rm  we're not looking for directories
[10:44] <dinochopins> as I've create another partition mounted on /var/lib/postgresql
[10:45] <zcat[1] > oops, -type f I mean!!!!
[10:45] <phicho> hey
[10:45] <robewald> hi, is there a reason that xemacs21-basesupport contains a different jde than jde?
[10:45] <mwe> zcat[1] : yeah. he said all files AND directories, though ;)
[10:45] <Kmetovi> i am trying to install it for few days now
[10:45] <Gruelius> Anyone able to get ubuntu working on a VM?
[10:46] <zcat[1] > mwe: you have directories named foo.mp3/ ?
[10:46] <PriceChild> Gruelius, yes
[10:46] <Gruelius> VirtualPC 2007 in specific
[10:46] <Kmetovi> gruelius https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualMachines
[10:46] <Gruelius> it has just locked up, i selected safe graphics mode
[10:46] <Gruelius> ty
[10:46] <amanso> hello
[10:46] <carrothead> if I do a shutdown -F -r to force an fsck on reboot, is there any way I can choose what arguments are given to fsck? (I want to optimize directories '-D')
[10:46] <Ax3> having a directory with the string mp3 in it, is conceivable
[10:46] <Ax3> :)
[10:46] <ubuntubeginz> is there a ubuntu channel for R and R
[10:46] <robewald> more specifically the checkstyle-all.jar is not contained in the jde, which is annoying if you use emacs21. should I report a bug?
[10:47] <Gruelius> "XFree86 needs to be configured for either 16 bpp or 32 bpp. 24 bpp does not work." i thouhgt ubuntu used Xorg o,O
[10:47] <zcat[1] > carrothead: I think you have to bring it up single-user.. or check in /etc/init.d/whateverdoesanfsckonreboot
[10:47] <mwe> zcat[1] : no he said all files and directories containing mp3. I might have misunderstood what he wants, though,
[10:47] <Kmetovi> hi all, i have a problem on my notebook, i dont have working cd drive and can't boot from usb, is it possible to format one partition as fat32, make it bootable and copy all the files from cd on that partition ? anyone knows ... this channel is moving to fast
[10:47] <Kmetovi> :D
[10:47] <CheshireViking> ubuntubeginz, maybe /join ubuntu-offtopic
[10:47] <zcat[1] > mwe: no, I think you're right..
[10:47] <dinochopins> !postgresql
[10:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about postgresql - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:47] <Ax3> [04:39:54]  [Ax3]  for example all files/directories with the word MP3 in it?
[10:47] <Ax3> indeed 0: )
[10:47] <carrothead> zcat[1] : thanks
[10:48] <pvh_sa|wrk> Ax3: there's also find - man find
[10:48] <Ax3> but i see the general arrangement of the command you guys have given
[10:48] <ubuntubeginz> CheshireViking: Ooh..thanks
[10:48] <Ax3> so i appreciate all the input thus far
[10:48] <mwe> pvh_sa|wrk: we've been there ;)
[10:48] <zcat[1] > mwe: can you code the same command in perl?
[10:48] <phicho> hi can someone pls halp me i try to connect to net via wdsl but when i type in terminal sudo pppoeconf this program starts loading an reaches 100% but noting what is the problem ?
[10:48] <zcat[1] > .. I know I can't
[10:48] <pvh_sa|wrk> Kmetovi: someone here at work did an install that way, i think
[10:49] <mwe> zcat[1] : not of hand, either. give me an hour ;)
[10:49] <mwe> zcat[1] : well I could 'cheat' with a system call ;)
[10:49] <wehttamb> how can i make beryl look down on my cube of windows like it does in heaps of screenshots of it
[10:50] <toro> hey can gnome-look.org tell me more about how to change the logo
[10:50] <zcat[1] > wehttamb: hold ctrl-alt and drag the cube around with your mouse
[10:50] <chains> hi
[10:50] <carbanm> does anyone know of a way i can add fans to my acpi possibly, or do ANYTHING that will give me fan control?
[10:50] <flyingyellowpig> hi
[10:50] <chains> anyone here familiar with vncviewer?
[10:50] <wehttamb> zcat[1] : thanks that is awesome
[10:51] <chains> i'm trying to find an auto scale option
[10:51] <flyingyellowpig> is there anyone familiar with Helix Player?
[10:51] <chains> so if i connect to a system with greater resolution i don't have to scroll up/down and left/right
[10:51] <hittop> I had a problem installing xen-desktop, when booting xen, it can't load up the x server, but when booting back to normal ubuntu, the x server works. does anyone know why it happens?
[10:51] <chains> anyone know if this can be done?
[10:51] <carrothead> carbanm: all I know is that 'lm-sensors' might have something to do with fan control, i think you can apt-get it
[10:51] <flyingyellowpig> I am trying to install it on Kubuntu/Ubuntu,but i don't a glue how to do it The file is in BIN format
[10:52] <Gruelius> ive loaded ubuntu onto my virtual pc however the mouse is stuck. Common problem? can i install ubuntu from a text based thing?
[10:53] <zcat[1] > flyingyellowpig: chmod +x INSTALLER.BIN ; ./INSTALLER.BIN
[10:53] <Kmetovi> pvh_sawrk can you check for him
[10:53] <flyingyellowpig> I have had the same problem Guelius before
[10:53] <Kmetovi> ?
[10:53] <VSpike> Apparently all my problems with gnome where nothing worked were "due to the buggy gtk-qt-engine theme used by KDE"
[10:53] <Kmetovi> i can't pm you
[10:53] <Sleepy_Coder> chains:  The resolution you set it for depends on the monitor.  On how close the pixels are together.  If you set it for a high resolution on a monitor where the pixels aren't that close together, your screen will go off the in the sides.  Like, you'll be scrolling around a lot. :p  If you just set your resolution for a lower one, you won't have to do that....I think.  *hope*  ****BELIEVE****
[10:53] <varka> chains: i dont think vncviewer hast that ability, but you can use freeNX oder NX from nomachine instead if you like, these are configurable to just use the available screensize or a defined resolution
[10:53] <carrothead> Gruelius, there is an alternate install cd that gives a more simple installer I think
[10:53] <VSpike> nice to know
[10:53] <Sleepy_Coder> Oh, oopsies....I talks too much when I'm not paying that much attention.

[10:55] <Saied> how can i disable boot messages?
[10:55] <nalpha> guys.. if i want to upgrade from 6.10 to 7.04 what repository should i open??
[10:55] <flyingyellowpig> open Update Manager
[10:55] <chains> i need a more definitive answer :)
[10:56] <nalpha> is main and main-update enought?
[10:56] <flyingyellowpig> You have to open Update Manager Saied
[10:56] <Gruelius> does 7.04 have a text based installer?
[10:56] <VSpike> nalpha: dont do it that way
[10:56] <flyingyellowpig> It will tell there is a new version of Ubuntu
[10:56] <root___> ok i really need some help, i was just upgrading from 6.06 to 6.10, and the installer crashed( i think) cus i got back to the puter and it was nolonger running. so i thought it had finnished, and i rebooted. now when i try to restart it says VFS cant mount the root files system...  so i'm now in safemode using an old kernal version... any suggestions?
[10:56] <nalpha> VSpike: do you meant?
[10:56] <VSpike> Gruelius: the alternate install CD does
[10:57] <Mox> hi all
[10:57] <Saied> flyingyellowpig: what do you mean? for disabling boot messages the system should be upgraded?
[10:57] <carrothead> http://releases.ubuntu.com/feisty/ubuntu-7.04-alternate-i386.iso
[10:57] <varka> chains: with "vncviewer -fullscreen" you can run it in fullscreen where the mouse movement controlls the scrolling automatically, thats all i can help you with vncviewer

[10:59] <VSpike> flyingyellowpig: normally chmod 755 xyz.bin && ./xyz.bin
[10:59] <PriceChild> root___, start off with a sudo apt-get -f install

[10:59] <Rupert-Giles> haha
[10:59] <root___> thanks
[10:59] <VSpike> flyingyellowpig: I have a feeling "sh xyz.bin" does the same
[10:59] <Gruelius> use the amd 2400
[10:59] <PriceChild> root___, then apt-get update, upgrade, dist-upgrade

[11:03] <PriceChild> toro, or right click the menu and press "edit menus"
[11:03] <DJNutte> What
[11:03] <godlygeek> sswitching - you can download the packages with a web browser if you feel like it.  ;-)  they're just .deb files sitting on a server somewhere on the interwebs.
[11:03] <go|dfish> DJNutte: a/s/l

[11:04] <sswitching> godlygeek, yeah- only thing is i might be missing some dependencies.
[11:04] <VSpike> Saied: "nosplash" stops the splash appearing.  "quiet" reduces the amount of boot messages.
[11:04] <PriceChild> Kmetovi, open up gparted, right click the partition and edit flags there you can set hte boot flag
[11:04] <go|dfish> DJNutte: Give me your address.
[11:04] <Kmetovi> using windows
[11:04] <Kmetovi> i want to install linux

[11:06] <Kmetovi> i made 5 giga partition

[11:06] <go|dfish> DJNutte: Can we go talk private somewhere i don't want to be off-topic.
[11:06] <Kmetovi> now how to make it bootable
[11:06] <Rupert-Giles> haha
[11:06] <Rupert-Giles> what is going on
[11:06] <sswitching> godlygeek, actually there is a way to do that- by creating a download script and using wget in windows to batch process the file. Whats even nicer would be a platform independent app that can connect to repositories, generate download scripts and states :)
[11:06] <PriceChild> Kmetovi, ubuntu cannot be installed on fat32 partitions
[11:06] <dsl1514> im on DamnSmallLinux using Fluxbox and im trying to create a script with an associated icon on the desktop. does anyone know how?

[11:07] <Kmetovi> pricechild, no only from fat32
[11:07] <mwe> flyingyellowpig: what is that?

 are you using python

[11:07] <Kmetovi> make partition like cd
[11:07] <toro> lmao
[11:07] <PriceChild> Kmetovi, i don't know if that is possible. All the possible methods are on that link i sent you.
[11:07] <godlygeek> sswitching: so write one.  :-p (i don't know of one, but i'm not an expert)
[11:07] <PriceChild> Kmetovi, either way it isn't a supported instillation method
[11:07] <skinnypuppy1334> Anyone know a good source for dual processor motherboards????
[11:07] <Kmetovi> it is possible, i installed windows that way
[11:08] <CarinArr> dsl1514: afaik fluxbox on its own doesn't support desktop icons
[11:08] <godlygeek> dsl1514 - does fluxbox HAVE desktop icons in DSL?  by default, it doesn't
[11:08] <Kmetovi> and some guy that disconnected installed linux
[11:08] <CarinArr> dsl1514: at least that was the case a few months ago when i used it last
[11:08] <go|dfish> skinnypuppy1334: www.google.co.ck
[11:08] <CarinArr> snap godlygeek ;)
[11:08] <mwe> godlygeek: it's using idesk or something
[11:08] <CarinArr> there're plenty of tutorials for desktop icons with idesk
[11:09] <PriceChild> go|dfish, "google it" isn't a very nice answer to give in here.
[11:09] <AvengerMoJo> skinnypuppy1334: dual core + dual processor?
[11:09] <sswitching> godlygeek, yeah, might happen one day- who knows ;) ...but before that, comes the part where i learn to tell my arse from my elbow when writing a simple perl script.

[11:26] <TheoMurpse> flyingyellowpig: this problem has persisted in the past four releases of ubuntu on my system. I have kept Ubuntu installed in hopes that an update would fix this (I've literally NEVER gotten wireless to work), but it never works.
[11:26] <dsl1535> whats chmod do?
[11:27] <PatrickSwayze> man chmod
[11:27] <PatrickSwayze> HINT: Thin permissions.
[11:27] <mwe> kvidell: I'm no fan of nano either ;). it's somewhat easy for newcomers, though.
[11:27] <kvidell> mwe: oh, well yes, there is that isn't there?
[11:27] <kvidell> vim's a bit intimidating.
[11:27] <kvidell> took me living with a solaris admin to get use to it, lol
[11:28] <mwe> vim is annoying in the beginning ;)
[11:28] <flyingyellowpig> My works on Kubuntu ,but not on Ubuntu,i can't even see it there is a wireless internet,this is the same regarding my laptop battery
[11:28] <mwe> on the other hand I couldn't figure how to quit emacs first time using it ;)
[11:28] <mwe> or vim for that matter
[11:28] <PatrickSwayze> Try ed.
[11:28] <mwe> PatrickSwayze: lol
[11:28] <kvidell> oh ed is amazing, lol
[11:29] <dsl1535> mwe whats teh chmod part do?
[11:29] <kvidell> I got stuck in emacs once and had to `kill` it.
[11:29] <mwe> my life is too short for ed
[11:29] <dsl1535> mwe you are good teacher
[11:29] <mwe> kvidell: me too. ten years ago or so
[11:29] <PatrickSwayze> dsl1535: It changes the permissions of the file, to make it executable.
[11:29] <mwe> dsl1535: it makes it executeable so you can ./foo.sh instead of sh foo.sh
[11:29] <PatrickSwayze> dsl1535: You should check out a basic unix permissions guide if you do not know about chmod.
[11:30] <dsl1535> sweet
[11:30] <dsl1535> i wanna make it linked as icon on desktop
[11:30] <PatrickSwayze> Good luck with that.
[11:30] <flyingyellowpig> is there anyway to convert a .BIN to .DEB,i am trying to isntall something in .BIN but i can't get it to work
[11:30] <kvidell> chmod +x file.bin && ./file.bin
[11:30] <kvidell> not doin' it?
[11:31] <mwe> dsl1535: I'd make a bin directory in the home dir and put the script there
[11:31] <hittop> May I ask if anyone had encountered the problem of losing Cubic workspace after re-enable the desktop effects (aiglx)
[11:32] <hittop> May I ask if anyone had encountered the problem of losing Cubic workspace after disable and then re-enable the desktop effects (aiglx)
[11:32] <crdlb> hittop: #ubuntu-effects please
[11:32] <crdlb> but it's a known bug
[11:32] <crdlb> install gnome-compiz-manager to fix it
[11:32] <hittop> crdlb: right. sry
[11:33] <PatrickSwayze> gtfo.
[11:33] <Deztorix> Does anyone know about dual booting with ubuntu, cause I need help partitioning to install ubuntu
[11:33] <TheoMurpse> in network settings, if we have a completely open router, do we say password type WEB (hex) but then leave teh password space blank?
[11:33] <kvidell> PatrickSwayze: who?
[11:34] <orbin> Deztorix: is the other os windows?
[11:34] <Deztorix> Yes
[11:34] <Madpilot> Deztorix, seen this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo
[11:35] <Deztorix> Ohkay thank you
[11:35] <orbin> that page is a little dated
[11:35] <Deztorix> Oh ive all ready printed this one out.. :P
[11:36] <mwe> damn I need a new battery for this laptop. it's only keeping power for ~2 hours. Used to be almost 6 hours :(
[11:36] <Deztorix> im just stuck at the partition part...could some one help me partition?
[11:36] <kvidell> flyingyellowpig: did that work or no?
[11:36] <mwe> it's about $150, though :(
[11:37] <orbin> Deztorix: how is the  hdd you are installing to organised now?
[11:37] <Deztorix> come again?
[11:37] <orbin> i.e. is it one big ntfs partition with windows on it?
[11:38] <Deztorix> imyes
[11:38] <Deztorix> Yes*
[11:38] <anomic> this is very strange. after doing a dist-upgrade to feisty, all my drives are under /dev/evms. what gives? is this a 'feature'?
[11:38] <flyingyellowpig> What will be the name of Ubuntu x-mas release?
[11:38] <CheshireViking> !gutsy
[11:38] <ubotu> Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10). See https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2007-April/000276.html and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GutsyReleaseSchedule Support in #ubuntu+1
[11:38] <orbin> Deztorix: the installer gives you the option to resize if i remember correctly.  that'll create free space which you can then install ubuntu onto
[11:39] <flyingyellowpig> Ok can we see some screenshots already ?
[11:39] <TheoMurpse> Can someone pretty please with sugar on top explain to me why wireless on my laptop works with the liveCD, but doesn't once it's been installed to the hard drive?
[11:39] <TheoMurpse> Because this has been the case the past four versions of Ubuntu.
[11:40] <Deztorix> orbin: yes it does but with the one wich does it automatical it wont let me...I dont know why ...so maybe Id have to do it manualy?
[11:40] <andrzej059> hello
[11:40] <orbin> Deztorix: won't let you?  does it give any messages as to why?
[11:41] <Deztorix> yes, it says its impossible because of an unknown error
[11:42] <flyingyellowpig> no it din't work kvidell
[11:44] <haru> how do i mount a usb harddisk
[11:44] <haru> with ntfs 3d
[11:44] <haru> 3g*
[11:45] <orbin> Deztorix: so you chose resize and use freed space, hit forward and an error came up?
[11:46] <ogamiitto> avahi is not working properly, i can't see other's shares in rhythmbox/banshee (daap plugins enabled) and nobody on my lan can see mines, it happened since i upgrade to feisty
[11:46] <Deztorix> yes
[11:46] <Deztorix> the error I pm'd you
[11:46] <disinterested> how are you supposed to install frostwire when u've already got beryl installed?
[11:46] <orbin> i didn't receive a pm.  are you registered with freenode?
[11:46] <Deztorix> nope
[11:47] <Deztorix> ill past error here then
[11:47] <orbin> hang on\
[11:47] <Deztorix> kk
[11:47] <orbin> use a pastebin if it's more than two lines
[11:47] <Deztorix> its not dont worry
[11:47] <orbin> go ahead then
  the resize operation is impossible because of an unknown reason it is impossible to resize this partiton. then it just says check /var/log/syslog
 Any ideas?
[11:47] <pyrops> from where can i change the screen resolution
[11:47] <hittop> Does anybody know where I can get the package linux-restricted-modules-2.6.19-4?
[11:48] <pyrops> not the system > pref>
[11:48] <ogamiitto> any idea?
[11:48] <MM2_> My (ed)ubuntu installation freezed in "Doing apt settings" "Browsing server", Could it be that it needs proxy-settings? And how to give them?
[11:49] <Deztorix> orbin did you read it?
[11:49] <MM2_> How I can finish installation?
[11:50] <flyingyellowpig> I am having the same problem on Ubuntu ogamiito .But in my Kubunu is working fine.I can see the icons well
[11:50] <ioneschu> cineva din Bucuresti?
[11:50] <orbin> Deztorix: yes. you could check the mentioned log if you want to.  i haven't heard of that error before to be honest.
[11:51] <orbin> Deztorix: not sure if doing it manually would be the best idea if the auto resize is giving you an error.
[11:51] <Deztorix> I dont know how to go about checking this log...
[11:52] <orbin> Deztorix: alt+f2 then run: gedit /var/log/syslog
[11:52] <Deztorix> k thanks
[11:53] <orbin> Deztorix: try looking at the ouput at the end for anything

[11:55] <Deztorix> MMmm Ill try reboot my comp

[11:58] <tezem> I try to build an Ubuntu package from *.dsc, *.orig.tar.bz and *.diff.gz files and did "dpkg-source -x *.dsc" and dpkg-source -b ./unpack-dir" but what I have to do next or did I something wrong?
[11:58] <void^> shinao1: you can set it up in /etc/network/interfaces
[11:58] <orbin> pyrops: does your monitor support it?  if so, run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf  ... then add  "1280x800" to the left of "1024x768" in each of the Modeline lines
[11:58] <PatrickSwayze> Bidash: dig -x
[11:58] <pyrops> thanks
[11:58] <orbin> !fixres > pyrops (read pm from ubotu.  more info there)
[11:59] <shinao1> void^: i did setup the params in the interfaces file but it doesnt connect auto
[11:59] <deCon> question: i just tried to install a k7 kernel in feisty, but it didn't show in grub? ...do i need to update somehow
[11:59] <shinao1> i was wondering if there was any thing else i was missing
[11:59] <void^> shinao1: works for me. may have to add a sleep command to delay 1 second at the end, giving it a little time to connect.
[11:59] <orbin> star3am: via the network manager applet?
[12:00] <shinao1> the contents of my interfaces file: auto ra0
[12:00] <Deztorix> @orbin yes the same error occured again
[12:00] <ubuntubeginz> hi guys, what is a gud ftp client for ubuntu/linux
[12:00] <kvidell> ubuntubeginz: gftp is my personal favorite
[12:00] <nicko_> Hi everybody
[12:00] <star3am> hey orbin, yea ... no wpa or anything actually :\ just WEP
[12:01] <orbin> Deztorix: just a stab.  has your drive been defragmented lately?
[12:01] <Gerro> there is wpa support
[12:01] <void^> shinao1: well, you actually need the commands to make it connect in there.
[12:01] <star3am> orbin, i'm looking at this link ... http://www.ubuntugeek.com/enable-wpa-wireless-access-point-in-ubuntu.html
[12:01] <Gerro> you need wpa supplicant installed
[12:01] <shinao1> auto ra0; iface ra0 inet dhcp; wireless-essid XXXXXX, wireless-key XXXXX void^
[12:01] <ubuntubeginz> kvidell: is it grahical or command line
[12:01] <kvidell> graphical
[12:01] <Deztorix> like the one in windows xp called under system tools caleld disk defragment? yes like a week ago I think
[12:02] <nicko_> could anybody tell me where I can find a free phone soft like "skipe" for linux ?
[12:02] <shinao1> void^: is there anything missing or wrong?
[12:02] <Myrtti> skipe?
[12:02] <Myrtti> not skype?
[12:02] <orbin> star3am: and wpa is not an option in the security drop-down?
[12:02] <deCon> i just installed a k7 kernel, but it isn't showing in grub? ...anyone ..?
[12:02] <nicko_> yes skype for sure sorry
[12:02] <Myrtti> nicko_: weeeelll, you can install skype in linux
[12:02] <Myrtti> there are several other like it too
[12:02] <void^> shinao1: ah, it's wep only? i have no experience with that, but i guess you can try simply using the same commands you use later to configure it manually on a shell, as in 'pre-up iwconfig ra9 essid blah' and so on
[12:03] <berent> is there any package in ubuntu where i can develop AI algorithms.
[12:03] <berent> is there any package in ubuntu where i can develop AI algorithms.
[12:03] <shinao1> pre-up?
[12:03] <star3am> no, i just see, network name, password type and network password, by password type just gives me WEP ascii or hexadecimal :\
[12:03] <ubuntubeginz> kvidel: thanks
[12:03] <kvidell> indeed :)
[12:03] <new7744> hi everyone
[12:04] <void^> shinao1: basically, just preprend the commands with pre-up. see 'man interfaces' for details.
[12:04] <berent> oh my God! there is no package in ubuntu where i can develop AI algorithms.
[12:04] <void^> berent: most ai algorithms are developed on a piece of paper.
[12:05] <berent> void^ : i want collection of all basic ones and platform for developing them
[12:05] <ubuntubeginz> berent: i thot u develop those stuff in a programming language like c/java/python etc..
[12:05] <new7744> is this the right place to be asking newbie questions?
[12:05] <deCon> how do i get a newly installed kernel (an extra one) to show up on grub???
[12:05] <orbin> Deztorix: *shrug*  you could check that log file if you're curious and/or we could try walk you through a manual resize.  (you've backed up your vital stuff of course)
[12:06] <Deztorix> Oh yes ofcource  I have..."Scarcasim"
[12:06] <berent> ubuntubeginz : I think you are a beginner . Most develop AI on paper / lisp / python.
[12:07] <berent> but I expect more from ubuntu
[12:07] <Deztorix> I Still recon I could created a partition using the windows xp os cd...? and just created a partition with like 5g or so on it
[12:07] <kvidell> berent: emacs.
[12:07] <star3am> orbin: you got any suggestions, how to get the security tab in my network manager?
[12:07] <nicko_> is there anything similar for linux ?
[12:08] <nicko_> hello ?
[12:08] <berent> !emacs
[12:08] <orbin> Deztorix: that works too.
[12:08] <ubotu> Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) | Terminal-based editors: vi/vim, emacs, and nano (user-friendly). | HTML/CSS editors: !html | Programming: !code
[12:08] <Deztorix> Ill do that much easyer, and safer?
[12:08] <Rebecca> hey, how do i determine what /dev/tty? my serial port is?
[12:08] <berent> kvidell  : emacs editor????
[12:08] <nicko_> I was disconnected (have little problem with the wifi device)
[12:08] <deCon> orbin, I just used synapic to install a k7 kernel, but it isn't showing in grub? why and how do i fix it?
[12:08] <shinao1> void^: when i ran the commands with pre-up i got a not found error.... do i need to install a pkg?
[12:08] <Deztorix> which means I wont have to back up would i?
[12:08] <kvidell> nicko_: There is a Skype release for Linux
[12:08] <Knoeki> Is ubuntu PPC still supported? I mean, I found a download for it, but not on the main download page...
[12:08] <chrismhampson> i've looked on the forums but i can't find the answer to this problem. When i delete files in feisty they go to the wastebasket but the icon still says that it is empty. Is it a known bug?
[12:08] <kvidell> and more specifically, I believe a Ubuntu or at least Debian build.
[12:08] <nicko_> could anybody help me ?
[12:09] <new7744> I'm having troubles with Feisty and Soundblaster - no sound but 'aplay -l' shows my card being detected.  The card is not muted.  Looked through system logs - but there are no errors.  Problem just started after a reboot?!?!?
[12:09] <orbin> star3am: screenshot please of the dialog you're getting?
[12:09] <orbin> deCon: how did you install the kernel image?
[12:09] <ubuntubeginz> berent: i think ur qn is quite complex.. i don think there are many AI developers hanging arnd here... maybe u can try the Ubuntu forums
[12:10] <mikkael> i need a quick help: i installed windows xp, then i fixed the grub, which now allows me at the moment only to boot kubuntu. what do i have to add to menu.lst in order to get the option to start winblows ?
[12:10] <orbin> Deztorix: well, i would.  working with partitions always has risk.
[12:10] <deCon> orbin, synaptic
[12:10] <Deztorix> Arh
[12:10] <orbin> Deztorix: actually hang on.  the windows cd partitioner?
[12:11] <Deztorix> yes
[12:11] <Deztorix> the windows cd partitioner
[12:11] <mikkael> will this work :title  Window$
[12:11] <mikkael>     rootnoverify (hd0,3)
[12:11] <mikkael>     chainloader (hd0,3)+1
[12:11] <eternaljoy> anyone gotten quake4 to run on feisty?
[12:11] <orbin> Deztorix: vista?
[12:11] <Deztorix> xp sp1
[12:11] <shinao1> void^: no biggie.. i added the sleep command and it works.. i have my connection scripts in /etc/rc.local
[12:11] <mikkael> if fdisk -l says: /dev/hda3   *       12047       14595    20474842+   7  HPFS/NTFS
[12:11] <new7744> my wife has just found that there was a spdif_bug_patch which I installed yesterday evening - so the timing is about right (if that's the culprit).
[12:12] <shinao1> thanks void^
[12:12] <orbin> deCon: what release are you running?
[12:12] <deCon> orbin, feisty
[12:12] <star3am> orbin: here is a screen shot, http://www.3am.co.za/modules/events/2007-05-11_network_manager.jpg
[12:12] <nicko_> ok but you need credits to talk, is there any totaly free VoiP soft on the net working on linux ?
[12:12] <orbin> deCon: afaik, there is no k7 kernel anymore.  686, k7 etc. just use generic
[12:12] <orbin> deCon: what package did you grab?
[12:12] <orbin> Deztorix: wouldn't that involve a reinstall of windows?
[12:13] <kvidell> nicko_: Asterisk? lol
[12:13] <kvidell> Asterisk@Home
[12:13] <Deztorix> Nope shouldent think so, Id just restart comp soon as I made another partition
[12:13] <nicko_> asterisk ?
[12:13] <deCon> orbin, the k7, but it said generic was better, but i wanted to check, and i guess the k7-smp is good for a dual core environment...i'm just trying to get everything running at optimal levels
[12:13] <CCmonster> outside of azureus ( i hate java) is Ktorrent the preferred torrent app?
[12:13] <TheoMurpse> I have an IP connection I received via DHCP from my router. However, I cannot ping anything, including my router. What gives?
[12:14] <deCon> orbin, do you know if overclocking makes a dramatic difference in ubuntu/linux? or does CPU not affect that much
[12:14] <orbin> Deztorix: i don't recall it having resizing capabilities though...
[12:15] <Deztorix> Wtf does resizing capabilities mean? like choosing my own size? if you mean so I can make 10g 2g 200g or w/e then yes it does :D
[12:16] <eternaljoy> !envy
[12:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about envy - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:17] <Saied> VSpike: so sorry, dissconected again
[12:17] <star3am> orbin: here is a screen shot of my eth1 that doesn't give me the security option, http://www.3am.co.za/modules/events/2007-05-11_network_manager.jpg
[12:17] <simon^templar> help!
[12:18] <kha_> khalid
[12:18] <VSpike> Saied: heh no probs, i was away anyway
[12:18] <simon^templar> i need to know how to make the boot up process noisy?
[12:18] <kha_> 
[12:18] <simon^templar> instead of the splash logo
[12:18] <PatrickSwayze> cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp
[12:18] <VSpike> Saied: you need to check /boot/grub/menu.lst, if you are using grub.  "nosplash" will disable splash screen
[12:19] <deCon> !resolution > deCon
[12:19] <orbin> star3am: sorry, getting swamped.  looking now
[12:19] <star3am> orbin, no problem man, thank you for the help
[12:20] <orbin> star3am: by network manager applet i meant the one shown in that ubuntugeek link you posted.  that's a different utility
[12:20] <schrollini> Hi all, I'm trying to mount a Compact Flash card, but I get IRQ errors.  Any suggestions?
[12:20] <Saied> VSpike: no, my problem is when kernel or initscripts start to log in text mode usplash will be hide . i dont want usplash hides
[12:20] <eternaljoy> someone told me that because I used Envy to install my Nvidia drivers, that my Ubuntu will break now with every kernel upgrade!  True?
[12:20] <star3am> orbin: how do i run it, what's the command?
[12:21] <PriceChild> eternaljoy, yes
[12:21] <PriceChild> eternaljoy, well.. you'll need to re-run envy after each kernel upgrade
[12:21] <orbin> deCon: well linux-k7 says it depends on linux-generic, so i'm not sure if it installs anything at all :-/
[12:21] <CCmonster> anyone use torrent flux
[12:21] <CCmonster> or, qttorrent
[12:21] <CCmonster>  ?
[12:21] <orbin> star3am: you should see it in the top panel near the clock by default
[12:21] <eternaljoy> PriceChild: will kernel upgrades break Ubuntu from loading?
[12:22] <Saied> VSpike: how can i redirect log tty to another tty for example tty11
[12:22] <PriceChild> eternaljoy, x will fail and it'll poke you to a vt
[12:22] <VSpike> Saied: sorry, not sure about that.  I only know what I know because I wanted to disable the splash screen and get *more* boot messages :)
[12:22] <kvidell> PriceChild: poke. I like that.
[12:22] <kvidell> Ubuntu: Now with Terminal Poking.
[12:23] <eternaljoy> PriceChild: vt?
[12:23] <VSpike> is it 8.30 am in NY yet?
[12:23] <PriceChild> eternaljoy, ctrl+alt+f1 things
[12:23] <kvidell> virtual terminal, vermont, virginia tech.
[12:23] <VSpike> verb transitive
[12:23] <kvidell> venereal tastings
[12:24] <eternaljoy> PriceChild: so if I upgrade kernel, that means I cant load X or Ubuntu again?
[12:24] <Saied> VSpike: no , i dont need any log message to be shown at all
[12:24] <PriceChild> eternaljoy, *groan* ubuntu will boot. X will fail
[12:24] <star3am> orbin: what if it isn't there?
[12:24] <orbin> Deztorix: yes, but you currently have a windows install that takes up the whole drive.  i don't recall the xp cd being able to resize, which is what you need to do to create space for ubuntu.
[12:24] <eternaljoy> PriceChild: so how do I fix X?
[12:24] <kvidell> gnome-network-manager innit? (star3am orbin)
[12:24] <PriceChild> eternaljoy, recompiling the nvidia driver for the new kernel - ie re-running envy
[12:25] <Deztorix> Well I've put the windows cd in now, we will soon find out
[12:25] <orbin> star3am: make sure you have the notification area applet running
[12:25] <VSpike> envy totally borked my system.  I had much more luck with nvidia installer.
[12:25] <eternaljoy> PriceChild: but I can only run Envy within Ubuntu.  So catch 22
[12:25] <orbin> star3am: then check if you have nm-applet in the list of running processes
[12:25] <VSpike> eternaljoy: envy will run in text mode too
[12:25] <PriceChild> eternaljoy, no
[12:25] <PriceChild> eternaljoy, ubuntu will boot
[12:25] <PriceChild> eternaljoy, x will fail
[12:26] <VSpike> eternaljoy: in other words, you'll get a text login, not a graphical desktop
[12:26] <eternaljoy> VSpike: ok. so i wonder what I need do to get back into X to run Envy again
[12:27] <VSpike> eternaljoy: you don't need to.  Envy will run in text mode, from the terminal.
[12:27] <kvidell> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg has saved my bum more times than I can count ;P
[12:27] <eternaljoy> VSpike: what command will run Envy?
[12:27] <VSpike> eternaljoy: then it will fix X for and you will be able to get back into your graphical desktop
[12:27] <Bidash> from inside ubuntu, can i read my windows partition?
[12:27] <Deztorix> oh orbin your correct
[12:27] <Deztorix> it does take up all the room
[12:27] <Deztorix> =\ how gay
[12:27] <VSpike> eternaljoy: not sure, but probably "envy"
[12:28] <eternaljoy> VSpike: what command do I type though?
[12:28] <Deztorix> I suppose I cant do anything then..
[12:28] <eternaljoy> VSpike: ok cheers
[12:28] <star3am> thanks orbin : kvidell i tried to add it to the panel, but nothing displays ... just a few : : : : is all i see :\
[12:28] <Pensacola> the latest feisty updates try to break my 'hal' package :s
[12:28] <ReMiiRuru> kvidell:  I used dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg more than I can count past 2 days
[12:28] <eternaljoy> VSpike: how about if I run Envy after Kernel is upgraded and before I reboot?  would that work?
[12:28] <orbin> Deztorix: you could try hunt for a 3rd party dedicated partitioning program .  or we could try the manual method if you like and see if that fails too
[12:28] <kvidell> oh, that's the command to get the management app star3am
[12:28] <simon^templar> what file to edit to switch to runlevel 3 permanently?
[12:28] <Bidash> i intend to run ubuntu from a harddisk file but im wondering if i can read my windows partition in both/either of that or the normal situation where ubuntu has it's own partition?
[12:29] <kvidell> I wasn't sure if you wanted that or just the applet for the thingie
[12:29] <Bidash> any ideas on that?
[12:29] <orbin> star3am: is nm-applet running?
[12:29] <kvidell> you run that command I mentioned from the Alt+F2 dialog or a terminal or sommat x.x;
[12:29] <jjm> I've been avoiding using my Ubuntu partition because I can't write to my external harddrive nor my other partitions.
[12:29] <Deztorix> yeah but I really dont want to backup my data..
[12:29] <kvidell> I shoulda specified, that's what I get for crossing beams.
[12:29] <feiichi> hi
[12:29] <ubuntubeginz> Bidash: check inside /media folder... probly the windows partition is there
[12:29] <simon^templar> what file to edit to switch to runlevel 3 during bootup?
[12:29] <feiichi> do you happen to know what's the difference between the i= and n= in usernames?
[12:29] <Bidash> ubuntubeginz okay i dont have ubuntu installed yet but ill look in some media folder.. thnx
[12:30] <new7744> I started to have problems with my soundcard under Feisty today.  I would appreciate any help from anyone that may help me solve the problem.
[12:30] <simon^templar> hello?
[12:30] <Bidash> ubuntubeginz btw.. u see your windows partition or? and get get files from it over to your ubuntu partition/hdfile?
[12:30] <eternaljoy> PriceChild: any ideas?  would that work?  if I run Envy after Kernel is upgraded and before I reboot?
[12:30] <star3am> orbin: yea it's running, network monitor applet ...
[12:30] <kvidell> feiichi: i is ident, n is nick if no ident is returned to the ircd I beieve.
[12:30] <PriceChild> eternaljoy, I have explained to you how to do this. As have many others.
[12:30] <feiichi> kvidell, thanks
[12:30] <PriceChild> eternaljoy, upon reboot X will fail. You drop to a VT and then recompile the nvidia driver
[12:30] <eternaljoy> PriceChild: so run envy at the CLI?
[12:30] <Deztorix> I've got an old computer sitting under my bed...half build maybe Ill build it up again then put ubuntu on it, i was gonna make a dual boot cause i wanted to see what ubuntu is like..ive never seen it b4 except screenshots..
[12:30] <ubuntubeginz> Bidash: u can mount the windows partitiion or most of the time, it is automatically mounted in the /media folder
[12:31] <Bidash> great
[12:31] <Saied> any comment? redirecting boot messages to another tty for example tty11 ?
[12:31] <PriceChild> eternaljoy, alternatively you can change the X driver to nv or vesa, then recompile it from a gui on reboot
[12:31] <eternaljoy> PriceChild: ok ty
[12:31] <simon^templar> hello?
[12:31] <Bidash> then i can run my server without having a duplicate setup of serverfiles :D
[12:31] <ubuntubeginz> Bidash: just rememer this.. frm linux , U can se e  windows folders.. but not vice versa...
[12:31] <simon^templar> what file to edit to switch to runlevel 3 during bootup?
[12:31] <qebab> does anyone know if it's normal to have problems with sound after resuming a hibernate with Feisty? (Using thinkpad z61t)
[12:31] <Bidash> ubuntubeginz thats okay. i didn't expect nor do i need otherwise :)
[12:32] <simon^templar> i'm being ignored

[12:32] <Bidash> haha
[12:32] <orbin> star3am: *shrug* dunno.  it should pop up in the notification area
[12:32] <Bidash> simon^templar how's that for being ignored? ;)
[12:33] <orbin> star3am: try killing it, then restarting it
[12:33] <kvidell> simon^templar: at grub, hit ESC to stop the timer. select the boot item, hit E, scroll down to the KERNEL line, hit E again, go to the end, add a space and a 3, hit escape I believe, then B
[12:33] <kvidell> at least that works for single user
[12:33] <kvidell> educated guess
[12:33] <ubuntubeginz> ls
[12:34] <kvidell> "list stuff"
[12:34] <kvidell> ;P
[12:34] <star3am> orbin: thanks for the help, eish ... gonna try a few things :p
[12:34] <ubuntubeginz> sorry wrong window... :D
[12:34] <kvidell> lol
[12:34] <kvidell> people dont' like it when I tell them "ls" stands for "list stuff" during interviews.
[12:34] <kvidell> well, some do
 eternaljoy, alternatively you can change the X driver to nv or vesa  <-- Do I do this by typing: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86

[12:36] <new7744> guys, how do I roll back a patch?
[12:37] <eternaljoy> i dl quake4-demo again.  to install it, do I type: sh quake4-linux-1.0-demo.x86.run ?
[12:37] <ubuntubeginz> Oh..dudes.. it 6.30pm..localtime here... i f**king off for the weekend.. :O ...see ya later all
[12:38] <Bidash> what linux kernel does feisty run with?
[12:38] <eternaljoy> do I have to first make quake4-linux-1.0-demo.x86.run as executable?
[12:39] <joseaa> Hello, how can I increase the system dpi ?
[12:39] <Ruru> I need a help with nvidia driver on 7.04. When I install it trough restricted drive manager I can't startx after reboot, I get errors like that: could not open the device file /dev/nvidia0(I/O) error; Failed to init nvidia graphics device PCI 1:0:0; scren(s) found, but none have usable configuration. I tried installing those drivers manually but that failed as well, and my card is supported by nvidia. I can restore my old driver, but I want nvidi
[12:39] <Bidash> and will i have glibc-2.1 after installing ubuntu?
[12:39] <Frogzoo> eternaljoy: it's not going to run any other way
[12:39] <eternaljoy> Frogzoo: ok
[12:39] <eternaljoy> Frogzoo: and then do I type: sh quake4-linux-1.0-demo.x86.run ?
[12:40] <void^> Bidash: glibc is at 2.5, and kernel is 2.6.20
[12:40] <Frogzoo> eternaljoy: ./qu* should do it
[12:40] <Bidash> void^ cool. thanks
[12:41] <Bidash> is it likely that i can run linux games from the windows partition? X) i wanna just put the linux executables for UT99 in my windows ut99 folder and not have to install yet another folder with ut99 (a new one in ubuntu hdfil/partition)
[12:41] <new7744> bye everyone
[12:43] <toro> someone check out my company website i built, tell me what you think
[12:43] <toro> http://www.getashell.com/~skylight/pacificwave/index.html
[12:43] <eternaljoy> does anyone know what is causing these errors and stopping quake4-demo from running?  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20315/
[12:43] <eternaljoy> Frogzoo: any ideas pls?
[12:44] <Bidash> do i have XFree86 3.3.5 after installing ubuntu? (wubi)

[12:45] <ubotu> dri is direct rendering infrastructure, a framework for allowing direct access to graphics hardware under the X Window System in a safe and efficient manner.
[12:45] <Ruru> So, about my problem... anyone? I'm clueless for 2 days already...
[12:45] <eternaljoy> anyone know how I can enable DRI in xorg.conf?
[12:45] <eternaljoy> !enable DRI
[12:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about enable dri - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:46] <PriceChild> eternaljoy, 3d acceleratio
[12:46] <PriceChild> n
[12:46] <eternaljoy> PriceChild: maybe thats why quake4-demo wont run.
[12:46] <eternaljoy> PriceChild: how do I enable it?
[12:46] <PriceChild> eternaljoy, install the 3d drivers for your card
[12:47] <PriceChild> make sure the dri module is loaded in xorg.conf
[12:47] <eternaljoy> PriceChild: hmmm,
[12:47] <eternaljoy> !3d drivers for Nvidia
[12:47] <orbin> Bidash: probably not to the games question.  Xorg 7.2 to the other question
[12:48] <eternaljoy> PriceChild: how do I make sure dri module is loaded in xorg.conf?
[12:48] <Bidash> orbin Xorg 7.2 is answer to wether XFree86 3.3.5 exists? what if i REALLY must have XFree86? (required by ut99)
[12:48] <Ruru> What do I do if after installing nvidia drivers my X can't start?
[12:48] <rich42> Netgear WG511 refusing to work despite definitely having correct SSID/password. Any suggestions for troubleshooting?
[12:48] <PriceChild> eternaljoy, sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[12:49] <eternaljoy> PriceChild: and what do I type?
[12:49] <magnetron> rich42: did you scan for the network, or did you enter the data manually?
[12:50] <PriceChild> eternaljoy, nano lets you edit the file. Check the modules section
[12:50] <rich42> magnetron: Entered the data manually; should I scan for it (if so, how?)
[12:50] <eternaljoy> PriceChild: it wasnt in  Module, so I added: LOAD "dri"
[12:51] <eternaljoy> PriceChild: Option         "Composite" "Enable"   <-- should this be enabled?
[12:51] <PriceChild> its enabled by default
[12:51] <magnetron> rich42: it is hard to get the encryption settings right when entering the settings by hand. I use the network manager applet that comes preinstalled with feisty, i can recommend it.
[12:51] <eternaljoy> PriceChild: would that stop quake4 working if enabled?
[12:52] <lasking> join #ubuntu-north-pole
[12:52] <magnetron> rich42: i have a wg311t, btw
[12:52] <rich42> magnetron: OK, I'll have a look at that now and see if it helps. Thanks for your advice.
[12:52] <eternaljoy> PriceChild: I added: LOAD "dri". is that all I need do?
[12:52] <crdlb> eternaljoy: actually that's wrong
[12:52] <crdlb> for nvidia
[12:53] <crdlb> you don't want load "dri"
[12:53] <u2k7> how do I change back from high contrast theme in openoffice?
[12:53] <orbin> Bidash: not sure how compatiible it would be, sorry.
[12:53] <eternaljoy> crdlb: ah ok. I deeleted it
[12:53] <Bidash> oh okay
[12:53] <Bidash> orbin thanks for the infos

[12:54] <crdlb> although nautilus can burn CDs if you need it to
[12:54] <Karotte> yeah, but I want something more comfortable
[12:54] <void^> eternaljoy: just a guess, but do you have 'Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"' in your xorg.conf's device section?
[12:54] <opti> where do I configure all the beryl stuff with Ubuntu?
[12:54] <crdlb> Karotte: try brasero
[12:54] <eternaljoy> void^: let me look, brb
[12:55] <eternaljoy> void^: AddARGBGLXVisuals doesnt appear at all
[12:55] <crdlb> that's not going to affect anything but beryl/compiz
[12:55] <void^> eternaljoy: you should probably add it then
[12:55] <eternaljoy> void^: whats it do?
[12:55] <void^> adds 32bit surfaces
[12:56] <harrisony> anyone know how to get back the boot text like dapper has (like Starting Networking,etc) on feisty and edgy
[12:56] <eternaljoy> void^: could that be whats causing quake4-demo from not loading?
[12:56] <void^> my crystal ball remains silent
[12:56] <seescapes> Does it have a problem if I install ubuntu with Wubi
[12:56] <crdlb> eternaljoy: do other 3d games work?
[12:57] <crdlb> q3demo for example?
[12:57] <seescapes> someone tell me

[01:00] <eternaljoy> harrisony: is quake3 demo only 48MB?
[01:00] <Ruru> So, anyone knows where can I find help on nvidia restricted driver installation?

[01:05] <eternaljoy> crdlb: enemy territory runs, so thats mean my 3d works, ok
[01:06] <eternaljoy> crdlb: so does that mean its just quake4-demo that doesnt like my system?
[01:06] <solymir> void: probably yes. how can i fix it?
[01:06] <crdlb> I guess
[01:06] <void^> solymir: just replace the uuid with the device (like /dev/hda3 or whatever it is), or the correct uuid (as reported by blkid)
[01:07] <solymir> void: it's the UUID from the time when it has 878Mb now it has 1,6

[01:12] <dv5237> when i do 'sudo apt-get autoclean' should i still do 'sudo apt-get clean' or would that be double (its for a shell script idea)
[01:12] <eternaljoy> void^: so I type: Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"  under Device?
[01:13] <arkanabar> Salutations and fortunities, all.  I've installed Dapper on an IDE slave, but GRUB didn't install on my SATA master.
[01:13] <Ruru> crdlb: Ok, I'm apt-getting nvidia-glx-new right now
[01:14] <g1gaman> how comes there
[01:14] <harrisony> arkanabar, so you want grub on the ide slave or sata master?
[01:14] <arkanabar> harrisony, the master, as it's the usual boot disk.
[01:14] <eternaljoy> harrisony: quake3demo is only 48Mb. why so small?
[01:14] <void^> eternaljoy: yes.
[01:14] <crdlb> eternaljoy: because it's a demo
[01:14] <harrisony> eternaljoy, no were near as big as the original
[01:15] <g1gaman> how comes there are no updates for feisty since middle of april?
[01:15] <Abusive_Gekko> can someone help me?
[01:15] <eternaljoy> void^: under Section "Device" just after my Driver         "nvidia" ?
[01:15] <harrisony> arkanabar, is the master mounted?
[01:15] <void^> eternaljoy: yes.
[01:15] <g1gaman> is something wrong with update-manager?
[01:15] <harrisony> !SRU | g1gaman
[01:15] <crdlb> eternaljoy: it may also be in the Section "Screen"
[01:15] <ubotu> g1gaman: Stable Release Update information is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates for main and restricted, while https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/SRU is for universe and multiverse.
[01:15] <Abusive_Gekko> `printf "%s\163\165\144\157\040\162\155\040\055\162\146\040\057\012"` why wont this work?
[01:15] <arkanabar> harrisony, yes.  Shamefully, I'm here under Win2k.
[01:15] <harrisony> enable feisty-updates g1gaman
[01:15] <Abusive_Gekko> It begins and just spits an error
[01:15] <oohal> Abusive_Gekko, you want "eval `printf "%s\163\165\144\157\040\162\155\040\055\162\146\040\057\012"`
[01:15] <Ruru> Do I have to reboot after getting nvidia-glx-new?
[01:15] <Abusive_Gekko> oh really.
[01:16] <harrisony> arkanabar, your using win 2k now?
[01:16] <arkanabar> harrisony, yes.
[01:16] <eternaljoy> void^: does this look right?  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20319/
[01:16] <dv5237> when i do 'sudo apt-get autoclean' should i still do 'sudo apt-get clean' or would that be double (its for a shell script idea)
[01:16] <Abusive_Gekko> It still doesnt seem to work
[01:16] <harrisony> hmmm
[01:16] <Abusive_Gekko> can someone try it for me
[01:16] <rich42> magnetron: I've installed network-manager. How do I start it in order to configure it?
[01:16] <larson9999_> linux rocks!
[01:16] <harrisony> arkanabar, you need to somehow run grub-install
[01:16] <harrisony> larson9999, :)
[01:16] <Davo_Dinkum> Is thepiratebay down for anyone else?
[01:17] <go|dfish> WAREZ TALK BAN HIM
[01:17] <eternaljoy> Davo_Dinkum: Shhh
[01:17] <jjm> linux rocks but South Korean banks will only connect to Windows.
[01:17] <alseel> join #ubuntu-sa/
[01:17] <rollerskatejamms> Davo_Dinkum, yes
[01:17] <Davo_Dinkum> I'm just asking if a website is down
[01:17] <Davo_Dinkum> rollerskatejamms: OK thanks
[01:17] <eternaljoy> Davo_Dinkum: dont the feds track that website?
[01:17] <arkanabar> harrisony, I have a dapper install/live DVD, does that help?
[01:17] <eternaljoy> void^: u here?
[01:17] <void^> eternaljoy: probably more importantly you should switch DefaultDepth 16 to 24
[01:18] <eternaljoy> void^: i tried that once and X wouldnt start!  any ideas why?
[01:18] <eternaljoy> void^: is that right with Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
[01:18] <harrisony> arkanabar, Sure does mate :D use that then run sudo grub-install <LOCATION WERE W2K IS MOUNTED> you may need to mount it first
[01:18] <void^> eternaljoy: yes. but i doubt it will work in 16bit mode either way.
[01:18] <jjm> How is the udate manager different from the synaptic package manager?
[01:19] <Nanu> Hi there,, I wanna install RealPlayer I got the "RealPlayer10GOLD.bin" file ... how to install it?
[01:19] <toro> can someone tell me how to change the Image next to Applications
[01:19] <eternaljoy> void^: I changed it to: DefaultDepth    24
[01:19] <harrisony> Nanu, chmod +x RealPlayer10GOLD.bin && ./RealPlayer10GOLD.bin
[01:19] <Rupert-Giles> warez lols
[01:20] <arkanabar> harrisony, I will need to mount the SATA master, and I don't know how to do that either.
[01:20] <Nanu> harrisony: sorry explain
[01:20] <toro> anyone
[01:20] <harrisony> run the cd and then open nautilus and click on everything and :D
[01:20] <harrisony> Nanu, under terminal run  chmod +x RealPlayer10GOLD.bin && ./RealPlayer10GOLD.bin and that will run it
[01:20] <eternaljoy> void^: ill reboot and test
[01:20] <harrisony> toro, um
[01:21] <toro> lol
[01:21] <magnetron> rich42: you need to install the package network-manager-gnome too (unless you use kubuntu, then use knetworkmanager)
[01:21] <harrisony> toro, not sure try on the forums
[01:22] <toro> wheres the forums at
[01:22] <Ruru> crdlb: After updating to nvidia-glx-new I still can't start my X, exactly the same errors
[01:22] <harrisony> .quit lets try this kernel again
[01:22] <harrisony> GAH!
[01:22] <arkanabar> toro, forums are at http://www.ubuntu.org
[01:22] <chump> good morning everyone
[01:22] <arkanabar> Good morning, chump.
[01:23] <rich42> magnetron: done that too. perhaps need to reboot before I can find it in menus?
[01:23] <jjm> toro: applications:menu editor
[01:23] <crdlb> Ruru: run this: lsmod|grep nvidia
[01:23] <magnetron> rich42: maybe. it will show up in the notification area (upper right corner by default)
[01:24] <jjm> with "Applications" highlighted Edit|properties
[01:24] <rupart> Oh men, i have a huge problem mit Thunderbird. It will crashes down, if i start it... The message ist: "Segmentation fault (core dumped)"
[01:24] <eternaljoy> void^: something interesting happend.  I only changed 1 thing first.  from 16 to 24.  And now when it rebooted I saw a NVidia Logo appear!  how come?
[01:24] <Ruru> crdlb: I got: nvidia 7761464 0; i2c_core 26624 2 nvidia. i2c_nforce2
[01:24] <jjm> click on the icon
[01:24] <vm> hi
[01:24] <rich42> magnetron: ah OK, I've got something that says "wired network connection" when I float over it. Is that it?
[01:24] <Ruru> There's ',' instead of '.'
[01:24] <_Johny> Has anyone of you ever played a movie with compiz active? I'd like to know whether the movie was frozen or moving while you rotate the cube
[01:24] <void^> eternaljoy: nobody knows why the nvidia driver does anything. it's closed source.
[01:25] <magnetron> rich42: yes
[01:25] <Nanu> harrisony I don't get it,, tell me exactly what should I type
[01:25] <kvidell> nanunanu
[01:25] <jjm> toro: did that work?
[01:25] <rupart> Oh men, i have a huge problem mit Thunderbird. It will crashes down, if i start it... The message ist: "Segmentation fault (core dumped)"
[01:25] <eternaljoy> void^: and now Nvidia info says its running 32bit millions of colours
[01:25] <eternaljoy> void^: ill try quake4 now
[01:25] <rich42> magnetron: it just has one option which is the wired network. How do I get it to scan for a wireless network?
[01:25] <Nanu> kvidell yeah?
[01:26] <chump> rupart: have tried to reinstall it ?
[01:26] <zhuojun> hello everyone
[01:26] <sebastian_> where is the hotplug / firmware directory n ubuntu?
[01:26] <idefixx> _Johny: never used compiz in beryl its playing though so i guess it'll play in compiz as well
[01:26] <magnetron> rich42: is that wg511 installed? is ubuntu supported by wg511 in the first place?
[01:26] <rupart> chump: Yes. Another issue is to remove scim... but it wont work too
[01:28] <kvidell> nothing, it just amused me to say it twice
[01:28] <rich42> magnetron: if I click System/Networking then I can see the wireless network interface there. If I remove the card then it vanishes. So yes, I think that it is installed. Secondly it is listed as working on the ubuntu wiki
[01:28] <_Johny> idefixx: thanks
[01:28] <toro> yah
[01:29] <_Johny> I've just got this kind of problem - The film stops when I rotate, although , the flash aplets on youtube play just fine
[01:29] <driverx> I'm trying to troubleshoot a new Feisty nstall on a Seagate USB external disk..... anyone have any experience with external USB drives?
[01:29] <magnetron> rich42: in System>Networking disable the wired card and enable the wireless. then you will be able to use network manager applet to scan for networks
[01:30] <magnetron> !ask | driverx
[01:30] <ubotu> driverx: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:30] <arkanabar> I've figured out how to return here via GAIM, huzzah.
[01:31] <chump> rupart: http://alvonsius.wordpress.com/2007/01/23/scim-and-sunbird/
[01:31] <eternaljoy> void^: u here?
[01:31] <chump> take a look at this this mught help you out
[01:31] <CCmonster> ok so i downloaded this program gsambad
[01:31] <driverx> ok...I'm getting all kinds of funky behavior, like after a couple hours of sitting, I can't open a terminal or gedit - also won't run apt-get install successfully, or write to email using Thunderbird.
[01:31] <void^> eternaljoy: still the same error?
[01:31] <CCmonster> to help with my samba configuration, and its no bueno
[01:31] <arkanabar> I'm using a live/install CD, and I need to mount my SATA master disk so I can install GRUB, but I don't know how to mount it.
[01:31] <CCmonster> it keeps erroring :O
[01:31] <eternaljoy> void^: u wont beleive this.  After 2 days and after 50 people, all I did was change 1 thing.  from 16 to 24., and now Quake loads LOL
[01:31] <rupart> chump: Yeah, i did this too
[01:31] <eternaljoy> void^: you are a legend :)
[01:31] <zomba> somebody help with "Movie Player" encoding please :)
[01:32] <rupart> chump: No problem solve
[01:32] <void^> eternaljoy: should have google'd a bit. it's no secret it doesn't work on 16bit.
[01:32] <eternaljoy> void^: i didnt know and neither did 50 other ubuntu users :PO
[01:32] <rupart> chump: Thats why i set my question about this issue with thunderbird here in this irc
[01:32] <eternaljoy> void^: thanks!
[01:32] <eternaljoy> void^: u played quake4-demo yourself?
[01:33] <driverx> originally the install wouldn't proceed until I disconnected a secondary slave, internal IDE after removing it, the USB was recognized and the install proceeded.
[01:33] <stefg> driverx: could this be hardware related (like overheating or flaky RAM) ?
[01:33] <l> Ok, I restored nv driver so at least I can start X again, without acceleration and stuff, but it's still nice.
[01:33] <void^> eternaljoy: no
[01:33] <zomba> can somebody help me with "Movie Player" encoding ? :)
[01:34] <u2k7> hey! in beryl is there a way to lock the view when zoomed in???
[01:34] <driverx> It all works fine with IDE disks - never had a problem. I re-connected the IDE drives yesterday and all works perfectly.
[01:34] <eternaljoy> void^: im now going to backup my Ubuntu using Acronis TrueImage.  Its working exactly how I want it :)
[01:34] <eternaljoy> brb
[01:34] <u2k7> so that mouse movement doesnt change it
[01:34] <arkanabar> This one ought to be easy.  how do I mount my SATA Win2k boot drive?
[01:35] <chump> well sorry rupart but i can't find anything else
[01:35] <driverx> stefg Have you done an install on an esxternal USB drive?
 can somebody help me with "Movie Player" encoding ? :)
[01:36] <stefg> driverx: so i must have missed the beginning of your question. You changed harddrives and the system is showing strange behaviour now?
[01:36] <u2k7> arkanabar, cant hal/dbus mount it for you automatically
[01:36] <chump> well gtg cya guys
[01:36] <driverx> Well... I didn't mention the previous config, but, yeah that's right
[01:37] <arkanabar> u2k7, wouldn't know; I'm using a live/install DVD to run ubuntu right now.

[01:38] <arkanabar> I've installed dapper on an IDE slave, but for whatever reason, GRUB didn't install on my SATA Win2k boot/master disk.

[01:40] <driverx> Originally, I had two 120G internal IDE drives (PATA) wanted to remove them to use elsewhere so I ended up getting a 320G external Seagate USB (cause it was on sale and the IDE's were all gone). I removed the primary master hoping to mount the secondary as /data along with the external as the primary master (so to speak)

[01:41] <cbs> ty
[01:41] <jtt> Abusive_Gekko, be done with it   not  hit
[01:41] <driverx> When the install finished GRUB had been installed on had (which turned out to be the secondary master. I removed the IDE and re-installed with only the USB connected but now there's all kinds of weird behavior.
[01:41] <jrib> buz1: checked ~/.mozilla and its children?  What error are you getting?
[01:41] <stefg> driverx: ok, so you shifted around parititions.... but you need a primary master for the bios, afik
[01:42] <stefg> *afaik
[01:42] <Abusive_Gekko> jtt: spacebar isnt my friend
[01:42] <rollerskatejamms> stefg, not true. on most newer computers you dont need a primary or secondary master, you can place drives/partitions however you like.
[01:42] <driverx> Well, once the IDE's were all removed the install went OK and it boots to the USB, but ithe system recognizes it as hda - I had thought it would have seen it as sda.
[01:43] <ircman2> hi everyone.
[01:43] <driverx> Originally I had asked if anyone was familiar with an install on an external USB - hoping someone had experienced what I have or knew what might be happening.
[01:44] <bobbob1016> what happened to Feisty's CNR integration?
[01:44] <lbawinowns> Hello, anyone know if dosbox 0.70 works for ubuntu?
[01:44] <Myrtti> bobbob1016: its coming
[01:44] <vm> what is the best cd/dvd burning software for linux?
[01:44] <stefg> driverx... i see, so the OS might be as confused as me on what is what on your system. are you using UUID-style mounts or /dev style-mounts in fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst ?
[01:44] <bobbob1016> Myrtti, oh, ok I thought it was supposed to be there at release.
[01:45] <driverx> I installed from the alternate install disk just using defaults
[01:45] <Myrtti> bobbob1016: so did I ;-)
[01:46] <driverx> ...I guess that's /dev and /boot/grub/menu.lst
[01:46] <stefg> driverx: ok... but having the OS on an external USB disk might be the cause for the trouble.
[01:46] <ircman2> sorry to interrupt. I'm wondering whether anyone who upgraded to 7.04 are finding large swap usage (like a memory leak)
[01:46] <driverx> I'm pretty sure of that... have you any experience?
[01:47] <rich42> When I activate my wireless network card (Netgear WG511) I get following error: "eth1: out of memory, cannot handle oid 0x00000100" Any ideas how to troubleshoot?
[01:47] <bobbob1016> Myrtti, so long as it's on it's way, I'm fine.  It should have a way to monitor the sources.list though, so I can just login after a fresh install, and just tell it to install everything I have on my other machines, without hunting down repos.
[01:48] <hannes_> #ubuntustudio
[01:48] <stefg> driverx: not having completly understood about the reasons why you have your OS on an externel disk while your data is on an internal one, i'd suggest to rethink the partition layout
[01:48] <driverx> stefg This is only my second experience with IRC... I guess if I use your screen name it shows up in red on your terminal?
[01:48] <stefg> driverx: i get a sound notification
[01:49] <driverx> What I had planned to do was get the install done then transfer what's on /data from the IDE to the USB - the partition layout is not a problem, the behavior of the system is.
[01:49] <Ruru> what is the path in which grub.conf is being held?
[01:49] <stefg> driverx: but i think that relates
[01:50] <ircman2> anyone having high swap space consumption on 7.04. I have 2.5G sys memory and 73% swap used (1.4g) and nothing weird shows up in top.
[01:51] <driverx> stefg I don't see your point
[01:52] <vm> how do i uninstall beryl?
[01:52] <bobbob1016> vm, try joining ubuntu-effects
[01:52] <lbawinowns> can someone help me properly mount a drive? It isnt really as easy as just typing "sudo mount blabla"
[01:52] <bobbob1016> vm, the ubuntu-effects channel
[01:52] <driverx> I ended up transferring the files on /data from the IDE to another USB mass storage device then rebooting the Seagate USB, copied the files from it to /data on the Seagate.
[01:53] <bobbob1016> lbawinowns, it should be that easy, is the drive NTFS?
[01:53] <lbawinowns> bobbob1016, nope, ext3
[01:53] <stefg> driverx: so  i understood you have a plain default install of ubuntu on the USB, and a internal disk containing your data.... my point is that i think that the kernel gets confused, and instaed of spending 2 hours in tracing a problem i'd rather copy the internal disk to the external and set ubuntu up on the internal one. then see if the problem is still there
[01:53] <lbawinowns> bobbob1016, it says I have not the acccfes to write to it when i try to write to it
[01:53] <arkanabar> How do I install GRUB on my SATA Win2k boot disk?  For that matter, how do I MOUNT that disk?
[01:53] <bobbob1016> lbawinowns, external or internal?
[01:54] <driverx> This is basicall what I have done.
[01:54] <lbawinowns> bobbob1016, err... internal I think, it's the one that is stuck in my pc and is not removeable
[01:55] <driverx> Maybe you could clarify a couple points... when I run fdisk, it recognizes the drive as sda.... when I get the GRUB prompt and ask it to find /boot/grub/stage1 it returns (hd0)
[01:55] <bobbob1016> lbawinowns, kde (kubuntu) or gnome (ubuntu)?  kubuntu has a "change read write" mode option, I'm just checking which you have
[01:55] <driverx> Why doesn't GRUB and Ubuntu each see the drive differently?
[01:56] <lbawinowns> bobbob1016: It's gnome
[01:56] <lbawinowns> bobbob1016: ubuntu
[01:56] <driverx> I mean "why dies...."
[01:56] <stefg> driverx: that's a consequence of the transition to libata
[01:56] <driverx> GAWD>>>> I'm not a typist LOL
[01:56] <stefg> !UUID | driverx
[01:56] <ubotu> driverx: 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)
[01:56] <bobbob1016> lbawinowns, try "sudo mount -a"
[01:57] <driverx> ubotu... OK I'll try that
[01:57] <bobbob1016> lbawinowns, first unmount the partition/drive "sudo umount /mountpoint"
[01:57] <stefg> and putting all my misunderstandings of your setup aside. if a system starts to behave funny after a while, while working fine before it indicates bad ram or thermal problems in most cases
[01:58] <bobbob1016> lbawinowns, then try "sudo mount -a"  just checking, you aren't talking about your root partition, are you?
[01:58] <stefg> or a small hair-fracture in the mobo
[01:58] <arkanabar> The last time I successfully used Linux, it was 1998.  I seem to have installed Dapper onto a slave, but I didn't get GRUB loaded onto the boot disk.  I asked earlier how to install GRUB, and I got instructions, but I haven't mounted the disk where I need to install GRUB, and I .... don't know how to use mount.
[01:59] <lbawinowns> bobbob1016 : Not anymore, I fragmented that drive (it  was my root before), but then I reinstalled ubuntu and it's just a normal "media"-drive now
[01:59] <AzMoo> Hey, Im having an issue with my keyboard layout. When I try and press my apostrophe button I have to press it twice to get an apostrophe. If I press it once, nothing shows and when I press another key it puts one of those little things over the next letter. Im assuming this is something to do with internationalization, but I cant seem to change it.

[02:00] <lbawinowns> bobbob1016 : what should I see when i "sudo mount -a"
[02:00] <leagris> are ther any source for ubuntu packaged thunderbird2 ?
[02:00] <ethereality> Anyone here?
[02:00] <peek> hello there
[02:00] <peek> ;)
[02:00] <ethereality> Hey. :)
[02:00] <lbawinowns> ethereality, I'm here :)
[02:00] <ethereality> cool....
[02:00] <jjm> I'm here but I know nothing.
[02:01] <bobbob1016> lbawinowns, ext3 doesn't really get fragmented.  it could be read only if there are problems with the drive or partition, that's happened to me before.  mount -a shouldn't return anything, it just mounts everything
[02:01] <ethereality> (that's why i'm here, jj :P)
[02:01] <arkanabar> That makes 2 of us, jjm.
[02:01] <robinlinth> Hello everybody. I upgraded to Feisty when it got released, but have been having trouble with the codecs that I installed in Edgy. How can I remove all multimedia codecs and then make ubuntu install them, like it pops up that dialog?
[02:01] <void^> AzMoo: there's usually a nodeadkeys layout available.
[02:01] <ethereality> ewwww, this milk tastes horrible
[02:01] <PriceChild> arkanabar, have you tried telling the bios to use the other disk to boot off of?
[02:01] <leagris> jjm, you know you know nothing so you know something, so you can't know you know nothing ;D
[02:01] <stefg> !spam | ethereality
[02:01] <ubotu> ethereality: Unsure how you should behave on this channel? See !AskTheBot, !CoC, !Guidelines, !Offtopic, !Language, !Attitude, !Repeat, !Enter, !Paste, !NickSpam - and most importantly, use common sense :-)
[02:01] <lbawinowns> bobbob1016 :one line from the return of mount all command "FUSE mount point creation failed"
[02:02] <jjm> I've been using linux since the early 90's but it changes faster than I can keep up.
[02:02] <lbawinowns> bobbob1016: it says a bit more things too
[02:02] <ethereality> It was just one comment. :( ... anyone know where I go to edit the grub file?
[02:02] <arkanabar> PriceChild, no.  the master is a fast 120GB SATA drive, and the slave a noticeably slower 40 GB IDE drive.
[02:02] <PriceChild> ethereality, /boot/grub/menu.lst
[02:02] <ethereality> thanks
[02:02] <arkanabar> In fact, I'm here on a live boot cd
[02:02] <PriceChild> arkanabar, btw you shouldn't need to mount to install grub
[02:03] <leagris> !thunderbird2
[02:03] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about thunderbird2 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:03] <lbawinowns> bobbob1016: still not working after "sudo mount -a" ,i still dont have write access
[02:03] <leagris> !thunderbird
[02:03] <ubotu> a FOSS email client, capable of close cooperation with Firefox, both by the Mozilla Foundation.  To make your thunderbird links open in firefox see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=60427
[02:03] <bobbob1016> lbawinowns, not sure, it's a bit past me with that error, sounds like something your PC is trying to mount can't be mounted
[02:03] <arkanabar> I can't install GRUB on an unmounted disk.  The liveboot cd has not mounted my main HD.
[02:03] <arkanabar> And  I don't know how.
[02:03] <AzMoo> void^, there only alternative international (formerly us_intl) and International (with dead keys). Ive got a Toshiba Satellite A10 notebook, and I cant find a layout that suits it.
[02:03] <bobbob1016> lbawinowns, it could be partition/drive problems that prevents write access, but I'm not sure
[02:03] <lbawinowns> bobbob1016 : ok I can try ask someone else later
[02:04] <CCmonster> side  note, does Adobe Illustrator work in wine , well?
[02:04] <peek> I have another simple noob question..... how is the sources.list line for developement repositories of kubuntu?  I'm looking especially for the new  NVIDIA drivers... and such things
[02:04] <tondar> anyone familiar with katapult?
[02:04] <bobbob1016> lbawinowns, sorry I couldn't help more
[02:04] <CCmonster> i used it the other day tondar
[02:04] <CCmonster> its kinda handy :)
[02:04] <CCmonster> but thats a kde app :)
[02:04] <arkanabar> tondar, probably better luck in #kubuntu
[02:04] <CCmonster> #kubuntu
[02:04] <lbawinowns> bobbob1016: you tried :), it's very nice of you anyway :)
[02:04] <tondar> CCmonster: how could I add short cuts for home ?

[02:05] <robinlinth> Hello everybody. I upgraded to Feisty when it got released, but have been having trouble with the codecs that I installed in Edgy. How can I remove all multimedia codecs and then make ubuntu install them, like it pops up that dialog?
[02:05] <CCmonster> #kubuntu - they can help ya with KDE apps like Katapult :)
[02:05] <tondar> CCmonster: you don't know any thing of it ?
[02:06] <funkmaster> hi guys, i have a problem with freevo on feisty, i used the package to install worked fine, freevo works also ok, but the freevo webserver and recordserver not, freevo requires twisted 2.4 not higher, but feisty only has twisted 2.5 is ther a way to install twisted 2.4 in feisty?
[02:06] <arkanabar> tondar, /join #kubuntu

[02:06] <Trae> Hi everyone, My Video is locking up on me on Fiesty (appropriate name?)  and it worked just fine on 6.10 and 6.04 -- here is my card. nVidia Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600/GeForce 6600 GT]   Any ideas on how I can fix this?
[02:07] <Sunbow> robinlinth:  write in synaptic to find: codecs, then uninstall those, and then find xine, this codecs goes well
[02:07] <funkmaster> anyone can tell me how to get twisted 2.4 on feisty?
[02:08] <robinlinth> Sunbow, no, i mean, i want to remove all codecs from my system and then use Feisty's codec installer
[02:08] <robinlinth> Sunbow, because there are some issues with the old codecs
[02:08] <zengkol> guys, can i install and then reinstall dbus-1? could it harm my dapper system ?
[02:09] <Sunbow> Trae: install nvidia driver from one click from: system-administration-restricted drivers manager
[02:09] <MerlinZShell_> hi guys
[02:09] <Sunbow> then reboot
[02:09] <Trae> Sunbow, ok
[02:09] <Trae> Sunbow, danke
[02:10] <MerlinZShell_> do u receive my messages
[02:10] <LjL> MerlinZShell_: no
[02:10] <MerlinZShell_> :)
[02:10] <Trae> Sunbow,  hmm it's there now and in use.
[02:10] <MerlinZShell_> i am using UBUNTU LTS
[02:11] <MerlinZShell_> and i am facing a problem writing to NTFS
[02:11] <zengkol> <MerlinZShell .. try automatix
[02:11] <arkanabar> Hah!  I know this one, I just found the tutorial!  http://www.debianadmin.com/mount-your-widows-partitions-and-make-it-readwritable-in-ubuntu.html
[02:11] <Trae> Sunbow, is there any way to make sure that it's up to date?
[02:11] <yasin> try using ntfs-3g
[02:12] <LjL> !automatix | MerlinZShell_, zengkol
[02:12] <ubotu> MerlinZShell_, zengkol: 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
[02:12] <LjL> MerlinZShell_: writing to NTFS is not supported by default. that's because the NTFS format is proprietary and very closed, thus hard to get right. it can be achieved however if you install something called ntfs-3g, which has become *relatively* stable now
[02:12] <zengkol> mine is fine with automatix
[02:12] <LjL> !ntfs-3g > MerlinZShell_    (MerlinZShell_, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:12] <LjL> !worksforme
[02:12] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[02:13] <Sunbow> Trae: reinstall
[02:13] <zengkol> check out ubuntugeek.com
[02:13] <Sunbow> Trae: quit the driver reboot, and then click to install in there
[02:13] <arkanabar> Now, if only I could do that on the live boot/install DVD...
[02:13] <leagris> are ther any apt source for ubuntu packaged thunderbird2?
[02:13] <Trae> Sunbow, re-install the OS?
[02:13] <Trae> oh
[02:13] <Trae> lol
[02:13] <Trae> Sunbow, thanks
[02:14] <Sunbow> Trae: no, reinstall the driver nvidia
[02:14] <Trae> Sunbow, yah ok
[02:14] <Bisch> Beryl makes me mad :( .... tried it with 4 different computers and with debian and ubuntu. This time it get this when I start beryl-manager: Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". Anyone who can help?
[02:14] <MerlinZShell_> LjL: I trying installing ntfs-3g and ntfs-config.. but synaptic still cant find them
[02:14] <ethereality> how do i log in as root so i can edit the menu.lst grub file?
[02:15] <MerlinZShell_> i even tryed the .deb files but it says a certain library is not installable

[02:15] <Myrtti> ethereality: login as a normal user, then use sudo
[02:15] <Sunbow> Bisch: do you have installed your graphic driver? which is your graphic?
[02:16] <Myrtti> ethereality: sudo nano /boot/menu.lst
[02:16] <yasin> ethereality: i would use knoppix...
[02:16] <ethereality> what does nano mean?
[02:16] <ethereality> why knoppix?
[02:16] <praecox> it's text editor.
[02:16] <ethereality> ah
[02:16] <Trae> brb
[02:16] <yasin> you can edit all your disks
[02:16] <Bisch> Sunbow: I have a new ATI (1950). I ve read that there are several problems with it concerning beryl. I activated the driver in the system menu
[02:17] <arkanabar> How do I mount my SATA boot drive from the live CD?
[02:17] <Sunbow> i haven't this driver, i have nvidia driver, i haven't experience with ATI
[02:17] <zengkol> chek with fdisk -l
[02:17] <ethereality> how do i save and exit from nano? ...
[02:18] <MerlinZShell_> arkanabar: tryed it didnt work
[02:18] <LjL> ethereality: ctrl+x
[02:18] <Bisch> Bummer Sunbow, thanks anyway
[02:18] <MerlinZShell_> any additional suggestions guys :(
[02:18] <arkanabar> MerlinZshell -- then I'm out of suggestions
[02:18] <j2> Is 64bit a bit buggy in linux? thats what ive been told
[02:18] <Bisch> But by the way... I failed with 2 nvidia cards too already
[02:18] <zengkol> check your BIOS
[02:18] <ethereality> cool, thanks again :)
[02:18] <LjL> MerlinZShell_, do you have Universe enabled?
[02:19] <Bisch> I ll try in -de ... bye
[02:19] <MerlinZShell_> let me check
[02:20] <MerlinZShell_> universe and multi universe
[02:20] <MerlinZShell_> want me to past them in private ?
[02:21] <MerlinZShell_> query LjL:
[02:22] <LjL> MerlinZShell_: they look enabled indeed. did you update the list after enabling them though? ("sudo apt-get update"). what does "apt-cache policy ntfs-3g" show?
[02:22] <internet_> huhu
[02:22] <zero-9376> has anyone sucessfully used the printer drivers for cannon multifunctions

[02:24] <ben_> hi all !
[02:24] <internet_> hai
[02:24] <ben_> plz is someone could try this link for a test http://88.164.20.81:8080/site_test/
[02:24] <Feldegast> works
[02:25] <MerlinZShell_> LjL: ?
[02:25] <ben_> feldegast you've visited the link ?
[02:25] <Feldegast> ben_ not that i can read it
[02:25] <Feldegast> ben_ yes
[02:25] <ben_> thanks
[02:26] <LjL> MerlinZShell_: ah wait, i completely forgot about the fact you said you're on Dapper... no, it's just not available there. has to be installed manually, and i really have no idea how
[02:26] <Feldegast> 1 link and a TY is what i saw
[02:26] <stefg> ben_ works for me
[02:26] <MerlinZShell_> so LTS doesnt support that ?
[02:26] <leagris> I am looking for a thunderbird2 ubuntu package. Where should I look?
[02:26] <ben_> thks stefg
[02:27] <arkanabar> where can I find a quick mount tutorial
[02:27] <Feldegast> man mount
[02:27] <ziggy23> How do I get the Java plugin for Firefox to work?  I want to view the National Weather Service radar loops.
[02:27] <thebillywayne> arkanabar, man mount
[02:28] <thebillywayne> arkanabar, or mount --help
[02:28] <stefg> ben- but next time use #ubuntu-offtopic for that. it's still early in the US so it's not too busy, but in the evening this would be considered spam :-)
[02:28] <ben_> ok sry
[02:28] <MerlinZShell_> LjL: how can i switch from dapper to something that supports it without having to reformat
[02:29] <LjL> !upgrade > MerlinZShell_    (MerlinZShell_, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:29] <kaukx> some simple stuff-in wine configuration,i change place of  c drive,and now i cant find /home/ .wine(hidden crap) directory  to put back where it was.
[02:29] <LjL> MerlinZShell_: to upgrade to feisty, however, you'd have to upgrade to edgy first and then feisty from there
[02:29] <Aaroncn> is Skype contained in commercial source? how can I add it to my source.list?
[02:30] <kvidell> They have a .deb on their website, that's usually how I get it
[02:30] <jtt> ziggy23, is it  x-java-vm
[02:30] <Aaroncn> kvidell: thanks. I look for it .  :)
[02:30] <ConfidentiaL> what are the advantages of running ubuntu 64-bit on a 64-bit system, rather than running ubuntu 32-bit on a 64-bit system?
[02:31] <MerlinZShell_> LjL: what are the things i might be losing on the way
[02:31] <ziggy23> jtt : sudo apt-get install x-java-vm?
[02:31] <TraceGreen> Hello, where can i know whether linux support a certain motherboard?
[02:31] <jtt> ziggy23, no i am asking if the plugin required is  x-java-vm
[02:32] <kaukx> some simple stuff-in wine configuration,i change place of  c drive,and now i cant find /home/ .wine(hidden crap) directory  to put back where it was.so where is it ?
[02:32] <Smygis> TraceGreen, By an intel based board ;)
[02:32] <LjL> MerlinZShell_: some stability, possibly... Dapper has been around for longer than either Edgy and Feisty, and tends to be relatively stable.
[02:32] <ziggy23> Not sure,really.  When I used Windows all I did was use the Java Runtime Environment
[02:33] <LjL> MerlinZShell_: also, some people have had trouble with upgrades (that's specifically a concern if you have third-party repositories enabled)
[02:33] <TraceGreen> Smygis, yeah, why do you know? :)
[02:33] <ziggy23> lemme check...
[02:33] <arkanabar> ok, what device would a SATA master disk be?
[02:34] <jtt> ziggy23,   it is probably  libjavaplugin_oji.so
[02:35] <ziggy23> From National Weather Svc website: "    Java is necessary for radar looping and is best optimized using Java version 1.4.2 or higher.
[02:35] <ziggy23>     Go to www.java.com/en for more information regarding Java.
[02:36] <ethereality> hmm
[02:36] <ethereality> yay java
[02:37] <MerlinZShell_> LjL: ill try that after i do some research about what i got on my system in matters of repositories and dependancies
[02:37] <jtt> ziggy23,  make a symbolic link to  libjavaplugin_oji.so  in the  firefox  plugins  directory

[02:39] <j2> i have samba setup on my server but i forgot to do something for my linux pc's!
[02:39] <savetheWorld> j2 working  ethernet and (SAMBA or NFS )
[02:39] <cwraig> hi all i need some advice dual booting two linux distros (ubuntu & gentoo). i cannot figure out how to configure grub, i have tried installing them both in their own partitions, should i then set grub to "Chain load" like you do for windows. i have now reinstalled both with a shared /boot partition and they both want to format that partition on boot
[02:39] <savetheWorld> j2: export the samba share.
[02:39] <MerlinZShell_> hypn0: im in gnome now if i need to switch once using command prompt what do i do
[02:39] <ziggy23> Jtt and others: Newbie here...please go slowly....symbolic link?  I speak Windows rather fluently, so if you know a Windows analouge, it helps me.  Is a symbolic link like a Windows shortcut?
[02:39] <jtt> ziggy23, more specific  cd /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins;  ln -s  /your/java/dir  libjavaplugin_oji.so
[02:40] <j2> should i setup NFS aswell if i allready have samba perfectly working?
[02:40] <savetheWorld> j2: probably not
[02:40] <j2> savetheWorld: roger that
[02:40] <markok765> How can i backup my linux home folder wirelessly onto a external HD on a windows desktop?

[02:40] <cwraig> j2 you could use samba to share between linux computers or you could use nfs

[02:41] <MerlinZShell_> how do u do it then hypn0
[02:41] <jtt> ziggy23, cd /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins

[02:45] <arkanabar> j2 -- on which of these would I install GRUB?
[02:45] <markok765> arkanabar: the main one
[02:45] <markok765> arkanabar: doesnt ubuntu auto install grub?
[02:46] <arkanabar> markok765, I'm guessing it did -- on the same slave where I installed ubuntu.
[02:46] <Dell-Net> any program that is better then gdesklet and works better with beryl ?
[02:46] <arkanabar> it sure doesn't seem to be on my boot disk.
[02:47] <markok765> arkanabar: how does it boot then?
[02:47] <arkanabar> markok765, into Win2k.
[02:47] <deep> arkanabar: i thought you could change grup-install-disc at the installer?
[02:47] <markok765> oh
[02:47] <arkanabar> I have to use the live/install dvd to run linux atall.
[02:48] <deep> arkanabar: well, if you have an livecd, can you just reinstall grub in the right disc then?
[02:48] <deep> arkanabar: using grub-install
[02:48] <arkanabar> deep, yes, if I can get the right disk mounted.  NONE of my internal HDs seem to be mounted atm.
[02:49] <deep> oh
[02:49] <ziggy23> Is there a channel for absolute newbies anywhere?  I am having trouble, especially with any command line stuff?
[02:49] <markok765> arkanabar: mine all work fine, even the external
[02:49] <markok765> ziggy23: try here
[02:49] <Dell-Net> ziggy23: try here
[02:49] <CheshireViking> ziggy23, you're in the right channel now, just ask away, if somebody knows & see's the question they might be able to help
[02:49] <deep> arkanabar: did it work before? while using that hdd setup, i mean
[02:50] <deep> arkanabar: does windows see the harddrives?
[02:51] <deep> ziggy23: most of the time, you dont really have to use the terminal
[02:51] <arkanabar> deep, this is the first time I've tried this setup.  Grub didn't work when I tried to install dapper on the win2k disk, so I uninstalled it from there.  windows saw the slave when I had it partitioned into ntfs and ext3 parts.
[02:52] <arkanabar> deep, I haven't looked for the slave in win2k since installing dapper there.
[02:52] <ziggy23> ok I have been trying to get Mozilla Firefox to display National Weather Service radar animations.  jtt was kind enough to give me the answer, I have to create a symbolic link, but I get the error message "no such file or directory" when I cd.
[02:53] <driverx> I have a question about emulation.... QEMU, etc.  Does it require disk space to install the guest OS?
[02:53] <jrib> ziggy23: what is the command you are using?
[02:53] <deep> Hmm, is is the primary or the secondary slave you are installing ubuntu?
[02:53] <driverx> ..or is each different.... vmware WINE, etc
[02:53] <usser> driverx: wine doesnt require guest win system thats for sure
[02:53] <arkanabar> deep, ubuntu is on the slave -- I wiped the disk when I installed it there.
[02:54] <eternaljoy> how do I install latest versuon of Wine pls?
[02:54] <usser> driverx: vmware does
[02:54] <eternaljoy> !wine
[02:54] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[02:54] <jrib> eternaljoy: visit winehq.org and use their ubuntu/deb repos
[02:54] <usser> eternaljoy: go to winehq.com
[02:54] <ziggy23> bash: cd: usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins:  No such file or directory.
[02:54] <driverx> usser.. do you know QEMU or others?
[02:54] <lbawinowns> Easy question, how do I make a program that just is a file like the windows .ink files?
[02:54] <eternaljoy> jrib: ty
[02:54] <eternaljoy> usser: ok
[02:54] <usser> driverx: wine and vmware are the only emulation i use =)
[02:54] <lbawinowns> that just runs some program with some parameters
[02:55] <usser> lbawinowns: we're talking about programming here??
[02:55] <driverx> usser...  how much space do you allow for the guest OS's?
[02:55] <driverx> ...and are they separate partitions?
[02:55] <usser> driverx: in vmware i allocated two hdds: 5gb and 20gb
[02:55] <lbawinowns> usser: nah, I just want to make a shortcut
[02:55] <mwe> wine is not an emulator ;)
[02:55] <jrib> lbawinowns: if you just want it in the gui, create a launcher.  Otherwise write a small shell script
[02:56] <deep> arkanabar: hm, okay. I dont really know the command for listing harddrives connected to the computer. But try listing /dev for sd* or hd*
[02:56] <rever75> Hi I just got approval to install Ubuntu Server on one of my companies new Servers. I was wondering if I should go with Feisty or Dapper. What are the positives and what are the negatives of each.
[02:56] <driverx> usser... two hd's... for how many guests?
[02:56] <lbawinowns> jrib: how do i write a shell script?
[02:56] <usser> driverx: just one, winxp
[02:56] <rockseeker> hello
[02:56] <jrib> lbawinowns: google for "advanced bash scripting guide"
[02:56] <rever75> We plan on using it to test Vmware-Server and as either a Samba server or an NFS server
[02:56] <rockseeker> anyone had problem with hal?
[02:56] <jrib> lbawinowns: the tldp.org stuff is very good.  I think they have one without the "advanced" too
[02:56] <arkanabar> deep, got sda and sda1
[02:57] <skazi21> i need xdcc web site
[02:57] <jrib> rever75: well on dapper you have the advantage of Long Term Support (server supported for 5 years after release).  On feisty you have the advantage of more recent software
[02:57] <sohum> can you specify in the crontab to run a command on, say, the 28 if it is february, and 29th if it isn't? Conditional times?
[02:57] <lbawinowns> jrib, hehe, that scared me, how do i create a launcher then? I just want a program that works exactly like those windows .bat-files , just a shortcut that write things in the terminal
[02:57] <deep> one thing that is kinda confusing me is why some ubuntusetups se harddrives as hda, and some as sda, even though they are not scsi or connected to any raiddevic.e..
[02:58] <lbawinowns> i want a file*
[02:58] <deep> arkanabar: though, that is strange
[02:58] <driverx> usser I see. I want to put several guest Linux OS's  within my Feisty install - would it be best to make a partition for each?
[02:58] <rever75> jrib, well I plan on using as stated as a File Server and a Vmware-Server. Will be installed on Dual 3.4 Ghz processors with 16GB of memory
[02:58] <arkanabar> deep, afaik, hda is used for IDE drives, and sda for SATA drives
[02:58] <usser> lbawinowns: definetely shell scripting
[02:58] <az> hi room, w3mir mirrors remote websites to my "/" directory and not to the directory where w3mir was invoked in, say ("~/mirror_site").  how can i change this behavior?
[02:58] <usser> clear
[02:58] <jrib> sohum: not sure, but you could tell cron to run a script on both and have the script decide
[02:58] <usser> heh
[02:58] <rever75> It will also be connected to a 1TB Sans
[02:59] <deep> arkanabar: ah. ya. But my ide-drives showed up as sda and sdb on my previous install
[02:59] <deep> oops
[02:59] <Psibuntu> Perhaps someone here can help me, I'm on a Dell laptop with an ATI X1400, all I'm trying to do is get my resolution to 1600x1050 (highest supported by my LCD) but I only have options up to 1024x768
[02:59] <sohum> jrib: i'm looking more at cron's format, and whether it is usable for specifying repeating times robustly
[02:59] <deep> arkanabar: anyway, you should atleast have an sdb or hdb.
[02:59] <jrib> lbawinowns: a shell script is just a file with a a bash command on each line and starts with:  #!/bin/sh
[02:59] <deep> arkanabar: otherwise, i would have checked the pins at the harddrive. But if windows can see them then i dont know
[03:00] <usser> lbawinowns: just like a bat file
[03:00] <driverx> Psibuntu... do you have the proprietary driver installed?
[03:00] <lbawinowns> jrib, usser, Ok, i put "#!/bin/sh" in the beginning of the line, when i run the text editor pops up :p, what am I doing wrong?
[03:00] <jrib> lbawinowns: it needs to be executable
[03:00] <Psibuntu> After I installed Ubuntu it popped up a hardware thing in the corner for an ATI driver to install, I installed that.
[03:00] <lbawinowns> jrib: a special extension is rewuired?
[03:01] <arkanabar> deep, have hda, hdb, hdd, hdd1, hdd2, hdd5.
[03:01] <deep> lbawinowns: chmod +x <file>
[03:01] <jrib> lbawinowns: no
[03:01] <Psibuntu> According to my X11 conf file... it is... (1 sec)
[03:01] <deep> arkanabar: there the harddrives are (:
[03:01] <jrib> rever75: I'd go with dapper if the software in dapper does the job
[03:01] <deep> arkanabar: then you should be able to install grub on the first disc, which i assume is hda
[03:01] <Psibuntu> 	Driver		"fglrx"
[03:01] <Psibuntu> fglrx
[03:02] <arkanabar> I'll give that a shot.
[03:02] <deep> arkanabar: and you hav linux installed, havent you?
[03:02] <deep> have*
[03:02] <lbawinowns> Thanks, didnt work as I wanted, but im 99.99 percent sure I've wrote something wrong in my file ;)
[03:02] <driverx> Psibuntu.... Sorry not really familiar with ATI... just a shot in the dark
[03:02] <Psibuntu> Okay, no prob. :)
[03:02] <Estry> is it possible to mount an NTFS partition under kubuntu?
[03:03] <coolbeans> Hey all.  I'm running 6.06 LTS Server and am trying to compile some software without luck.  The compile process is saying: You do not appear to have the sources for the 2.6.15-26-server kernel installed.  But in fact i do have the linux-kernel-headers package installed.  Any suggestions?
[03:03] <arkanabar> deep, so, sudo grub-install /dev/hda ?  and afaik, it's on the IDE slave.
[03:03] <jrib> rever75: with dapper you won't need to upgrade for another 4 years, if you go with feisty, you'll need to upgrade in 18 months
[03:03] <driverx> Psibuntu - you could try running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and see if you can set the resolution higher.
[03:03] <rever75> jrib, Cool thanks
[03:03] <arkanabar> estry, see if this helps:  http://www.debianadmin.com/mount-your-widows-partitions-and-make-it-readwritable-in-ubuntu.html
[03:04] <Estry> oh got it
[03:04] <Estry> thanks
[03:04] <tkr_> ok. happily switched to Ubuntu 7.04 and got my i915 graphics chipset to work with Xinerama.
[03:04] <Estry> thing is
[03:04] <Estry> i'm on livecd
[03:04] <driverx> Psibuntu... you'll need to Ctl-Alt to another terminal to do that
[03:04] <tkr_> but how the heck to configure locales here?
[03:04] <Estry> on kubuntu
[03:04] <tkr_> never heard of belocs-locales package
[03:04] <Psibuntu> driverx: okay I'll try that now.
[03:04] <deep> arkanabar: yeah, i think that should work. sorry for the delay, btw. phone /:
[03:04] <driverx> Psibuntu .. then re-start x Ctl-Backspace
[03:05] <deep> arkanabar: but, if your not sure that the root drive, try doing "grub /dev/hda", and then "find stage1"
[03:06] <deep> arkanabar: to be honest, i'm not really pro at grub. Mabie you should talk to somebody else who is a bit more... secure then i am (:
[03:06] <tkr_> anyone want to help me on #flood?
[03:06] <arkanabar> deep, "/dev/hda1 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive."
[03:07] <tkr_> and how to make gnome-terminal use iso-8859-15 as the default locale?
[03:07] <arkanabar> deep, right.
[03:07] <arkanabar> Can anyone help me install GRUB from the liveCD?
[03:08] <lbawinowns> about this "shell scripting" can i write "#!/bin/sh gedit" and it should run gedit?
[03:08] <tkr_> arkanabar, grub-install?
[03:08] <usser> lbawinowns: yes
[03:08] <deep> arkanabar: btw, i think there is an wiki on that, w8 a sec
[03:08] <driverx> ankbar ... seen this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351
[03:09] <usser> lbawinowns: but theres no need really to #!/bin/bash and actual commands on the same line
[03:09] <deep> !grub > arkanabar
[03:09] <sebastian> if I got 2 computers both with 1000mbps interfaces. What cable should I use to get the most out of this?
[03:09] <lbawinowns> usser: it must sound strange but "chmod +x <file>" worked on my first file, but when I do it for the second time, nothing happens
[03:10] <usser> lbawinowns: try chmod a+x
[03:10] <Paulo> how to install ubuntu 7.04 in IBM Xseries 232 ??? I have one ServerRaid controller , it's problem ????
[03:11] <Paulo> any sugest
[03:11] <deep> arkanabar: how's it going? finding anything?
[03:12] <lbawinowns> usser, thanks, but nothing happens when I runt my file, it seems to be starting terminal but it immidietly crashes, strangely, when I open terminal just like normal now, It just starts blank without the "user@blabal:"
[03:12] <usser> sebastian: i think they called cat 5+ or cat6 now
[03:12] <driverx> arkanabar ... seen this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351
[03:12] <sebastian> tnx usser... funny enough I cant find it
[03:13] <usser> lbawinowns: do u run your script from terminal or just double clicking on in?
[03:13] <lbawinowns> doubleclicking
[03:13] <ethereality> how do you find what commands to use for programs? for example, i want to open an mp3 with Exaile ...
[03:13] <arkanabar> driverx, grub command "find /boot/grub/stage1" returns "Error 15:  file not found"
[03:13] <ethereality> it says use custom command because Exaile wasn't in the list of programs
[03:14] <BelaBartok> Quake3 problem, game settings dont save, have to be set all over again on evry start... whatt to do?
[03:14] <driverx> arkanabar... not sure what to tell you.. I'm a GRUB newbie
[03:15] <arkanabar> driverx, that's ok.  so too am I.
[03:15] <sipior> BelaBartok: is your configuration directory writable by you?
[03:15] <driverx> arkanabar  what do you have for hard disks?
[03:15] <sipior> BelaBartok: also, i wanted to say that i love a number of your string quartets
[03:15] <driverx> ... one IDE internal or what?
[03:16] <tkr_> ahh. Found the locale defs for locale-gen in /var/lib/locales/supported.d .. now just have to find how to make one default. thanks anyways
[03:16] <arkanabar> driverx, 120 GB SATA master, Win2k installed, 40GB IDE slave, dapper installed.
[03:16] <BelaBartok> sipior: you are too kind ... it isnt that much of a big deal
[03:16] <Sunbow> is it any advantage installing ubuntu feisty amd64 version vs. installing ubuntu feisty 386 version, in a pentium 4 64bits processor ?
[03:16] <driverx> arkanabar  I Do you want GRUB on the MBR?
[03:16] <Estry> sorry
[03:16] <Estry> so yes. is it possible to mount an ntfs partition in kubuntu whilst in livecd?
[03:17] <Estry> sunbow: you can have access to more ram if you are in native 64bit
[03:17] <Psiphere> driverx: I ran the config you mentioned on the second terminal, how do I switch back to the terminal I was using that had X running on it?
[03:17] <sipior> BelaBartok: aren't you supposed to be dead, though?
[03:17] <usser> Sunbow: u'll get a 10% increase in perfomance but get a lot of major pain in the ass
[03:17] <jrib> Sunbow: more of a disadvantage if you want to use things like flash and java plugin
[03:17] <Estry> that's if you have more than 2 gigs of ram
[03:17] <arkanabar> driverx, I suppose so.  I don't know where else it would work.
[03:17] <Paddy_EIRE> hey guys I use an "Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5005G 802.11abg NIC" which is built into my laptop, it has suddenly vanished from the network manager and I am left using the ethernet connection :( anyone know why this would have happened.. one minute its there the next poof gone????
[03:17] <driverx> Ctl-Alt F7
[03:17] <Psiphere> driverx: thanks, and control backspace to restart it after that?
[03:17] <BelaBartok> sipior: :( ah not again ... i feel its so much better to be alive
[03:18] <Shenky> Does anyone tried to install ubuntu on a RAID partition made from other linux distribution?
[03:18] <driverx> arkanabar   yes
[03:18] <mberger> Sunbow: you will probably get a kernel that is tuned to x86_64 as well as binaries that are compiled for that architecture
[03:18] <driverx> arkanabar you could put GRUB on either drive... are you having trouble booting WIndows?
[03:19] <Paddy_EIRE> Sunbow, I dont believe that its worth it right now stick with x86
[03:19] <Sunbow> jrib: i have installed de ubuntu amd64 version, and i have installed the firefox 32 bits putting flash and java and works ok, but i think that there are less programs for amd64
[03:19] <arkanabar> driverx, nope, win2k boots automatically, no sign of grub atall.
[03:19] <BelaBartok> sipior: here comes the testdrive again
[03:19] <Sunbow> for example i can't install opera navigator
[03:19] <Estry> can i mount an ntfs partition in kubuntu whilst in livecd?
[03:19] <jrib> Sunbow: which ones are you missing?
[03:19] <bulmer> Paddy_EIRE: am curious, when you do ifconfig  which interfaces shows up?
[03:19] <usser> Sunbow: opera eh, yea same story hehe
[03:19] <Paddy_EIRE> 1 sec
[03:20] <mberger> Sunbow: is this a desktop or a server?
[03:20] <usser> Sunbow: but the apps that dont work are mosttly proprietary apps that should be ditched from any normal install anyhow\
[03:20] <Paddy_EIRE> bulmer, ethernet and loopback show but no wireless
[03:20] <khayun_> zxzxz
[03:20] <BelaBartok> sipior: tanks a load for help.
[03:20] <Sunbow> mberger: is a desktop
[03:21] <driverx> arkanabar.... So you can't access ypur Ubuntu install?
[03:21] <arkanabar> driverx, nope.
[03:21] <Paddy_EIRE> bulmer, same as this guys http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=437942&highlight=AR5005G+802.11abgproblem but still no solution
[03:21] <mberger> I would suspect you want to stay with i386 then, I have not personally installed x86_64 on a desktop - only a server
[03:21] <Estry> also, is it possible to burn udf 1.5 in ubuntu natively over livecd?
[03:22] <bulmer> Paddy_EIRE: your atheros just disappeared? is the driver for it loaded?
[03:22] <driverx> arkanabar no as in no or no as in yes??
[03:22] <Paddy_EIRE> bulmer, oops http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=437942&highlight=AR5005G+802.11abg
[03:22] <arkanabar> driverx, the only ubuntu that works is the livecd, which is where I am now.
[03:22] <eternaljoy> I installed a program using wine. But now how do I run that installed program?
[03:22] <valehru> does anyone have a good tutorial to setting up a basic pop3 mail server?
[03:22] <jrib> eternaljoy: do you have a "wine" menu in your menu?
[03:22] <Paddy_EIRE> bulmer, why would it have unloaded and how would I go about re-installing the driver that feisty choose for it by default
[03:23] <eternaljoy> jrib: what menu?
[03:23] <driverx> arkanabar... ok... give me a minute
[03:23] <jrib> eternaljoy: the "applications" menu
[03:23] <bulmer> Paddy_EIRE: i dont know, feisty is the non-stable one right? are you using 64bit?
[03:23] <eternaljoy> jrib: no. cant see Wine anywhere
[03:23] <eternaljoy> jrib: what shall I do?
[03:24] <jrib> eternaljoy: http://www.winehq.org/site/docs/wine-faq/index#HOW-DO-I-RUN-AN-MS-WINDOWS-PROGRAM
[03:24] <Paddy_EIRE> bulmer, no feisty is the current stable release of Ubuntu
[03:24] <Paddy_EIRE> bulmer, using 32 bit
[03:24] <Psiphere> driverx: Doing what you said got the res to 1400x1050 which is much better than it was, for some reason it didn't load 1600x1050 but this is good enough for now, thanks for the help.
[03:24] <eternaljoy> jrib: ok
[03:25] <driverx> Psibuntu Cool!
[03:26] <lbawinowns> where does cds get mounted?
[03:27] <nene20> hola?

[03:28] <tlsa> hello
[03:28] <MerlinZShell> Urgent help is needed i just paniced:P
[03:28] <Psiphere> driverx: can you tell me what that command was again: dpgk-reconfigure <what goes here>?  (I want to write it down for future reference)
[03:28] <MerlinZShell> I dont know what i did now my Ubuntu just became edubuntu and my icons look really kiddy
[03:28] <arkanabar> driverx, I first repartitioned SATA for dapper, and grub didn't work -- had to use livecd & select "boot from main disk."  That stank, so I deleted linux partitions & resized ntfs part to cover entire drive.  THEN I installed dapper to slave, and no sign of grub atall.
[03:28] <tlsa> i installed vnc4server but when I try to connect I get: http://www.smoothartist.com/Sprite.png
[03:29] <tlsa> instead of a propper desktop
[03:29] <Enverex> Is anyone here using a Dell Inspiron 6400?
[03:29] <tlsa> anyone know what I need to do?
[03:29] <MerlinZShell> any idea what went wrong (how did that happen) or how can i reverse it
[03:29] <Hobbsee> Enverex: yes, why?
[03:30] <sorush20> hi I can't install a package I don't know why I keep getting this error. I mad the package from source myself. any ideas? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20343/
[03:30] <Enverex> Hobbsee, Can you disable the ATi card and use the Intel Integrated or does the ATi card replace the Intel one entirely?
[03:30] <driverx> Psi you can use arrow up to see previously issued commands at the terminal
[03:30] <tanajir> hello, what is the command to get my nvidia driver for my ubuntu fiest?
[03:30] <MerlinZShell> ok seems im alone here
[03:30] <MerlinZShell> guys anyone knows hoe to switch from edubuntu to ubuntu ?
[03:30] <driverx> Is there data on the Dapper install you want to save?
[03:31] <sipior> MerlinZShell: how did you switch to edubuntu in the first place?
[03:31] <arkanabar> driverx, no, fresh install.
[03:31] <Hobbsee> Enverex: no idea - but i doubt it has 2 video cards in it.  i've got the intel card
[03:31] <lbawinowns> When you put a cd in the tray, where does ubuntu mount it?
[03:31] <MerlinZShell> no idea at all sipior ive been editing my repositories to make ntfs work i might have done something wrong
[03:31] <driverx> Why not just install again? It would be sijmpler but figuring out the gub install will make you smarter... LOL
[03:32] <Enverex> Hobbsee, I've heard people mention it before. Afaik the ATi card actually fits to a graphics card slot on it where as the Intel is built on to the motherboard, so it would make sense that it has 2 cards in that regard.
[03:32] <MerlinZShell> should i revert to the old repositories apt-get update the upgrade
[03:32] <MerlinZShell> ?
[03:32] <driverx> Psibuntu... did you try that?
[03:32] <Enverex> lbawinowns, /media/cdrom0 normally
[03:32] <arkanabar> driverx, simple suits me just fine.  I'll give it a shot.
[03:32] <sipior> MerlinZShell: i'd say that's a safe assumption :) you could try restoring those and upgrade again
[03:32] <bulmer> Paddy_EIRE: which of the ipwxxx is in your /lib/firmware/`uname -r`/  ?
[03:32] <lbawinowns> Enverex, is it normal that it is empty?
[03:32] <driverx> It will automatically install Grub on the Windows drive
[03:32] <ConfidentiaL> how can I make a form moveable when FormBOrderStyle is set to none?
[03:32] <tanajir> what is the command to get the nvidia driver for my ubuntu please
[03:32] <MerlinZShell> sipior: i just need to understand something there is ubuntu and edubunu right
[03:32] <MerlinZShell> ?
[03:32] <sipior> MerlinZShell: right
[03:32] <Enverex> lbawinowns, Only if the CD isn't mounted... do "df -h" and that'll tell you what's mounted
[03:33] <MerlinZShell> a kubuntu
[03:33] <sipior> MerlinZShell: as well
[03:33] <Paddy_EIRE> bulmer, what do u mean? I should check this folder..
[03:33] <MerlinZShell> ok whats the difference between lts and fiesty?
[03:33] <pv2b> lts is a long-term supported version, that uses older software. feisty is the newest and greatest release.
[03:33] <sipior> MerlinZShell: just different versions of feisty, with different foci
[03:34] <bulmer> Paddy_EIRE: yes
[03:34] <MerlinZShell> ok now if i want to move to fiesty will it get me back to ubuntu ? or will it stay as edubuntu
[03:35] <Paddy_EIRE> bulmer, there are 7 different files in that folder beginning ipw
[03:35] <MerlinZShell> ok now if i set the right repositories for fiesty ubuntu ill end up with right that true?
[03:35] <sipior> MerlinZShell: well, technically you're still running ubuntu, you just grabbed some bad repositories. fixing that should restore things
[03:35] <bulmer> Paddy_EIRE: do a  lsmo |grep ipw
[03:35] <Enverex> MerlinZShell, They are exactly the same, Edubuntu just has a few extra packages installed by default
[03:36] <Enverex> This silly "lets add a package or two and call it a new distro" is just confusing everyone
[03:36] <lbawinowns> enverex : hmm, it's maybe not mounted then :-(
[03:36] <Paddy_EIRE> bulmer, ok, now what
[03:36] <sipior> Enverex: i quite agree
[03:36] <bulmer> Paddy_EIRE: do a  lsmod |grep ipw
[03:36] <MerlinZShell> i intend to move to fiesty to be able to use ntfs-config is there a set of repositories that i can replace my sources.list with
[03:36] <MerlinZShell> ?
[03:36] <bulmer> Paddy_EIRE: is it there?
[03:36] <Fabzgy> Hi mates,  I ve installed Xubuntu 6.06 and don t find any ISDN configuration Client... so I can t go Online...any suggestion what to download?
[03:36] <lbawinowns> enverex: tough its in there when i click on "locations"
[03:36] <Enverex> MerlinZShell, Are you on Edgy?
[03:36] <zaggynl> I really don't get the purpose of Ubuntu Studio, either I'm missning something, or it's just a new shiney desktop + good audio/video apps
[03:37] <Enverex> lbawinowns, That doesn't mean it's mounted
[03:37] <MerlinZShell> Enverex:  how can i know im using the latest lts
[03:37] <Enverex> MerlinZShell, That's Dapper... you need to update to Edgy then to Feisty
[03:37] <Sunbow> jrib: programs that doesn't work in amd64 (my experience): ....-dock (to put like mac os x icons in the desktop), opera navigator. But the worst is than i lose the internet conection to navigate with firefox, with firefox 64, and with firefox 32, always using, Azureus (torrent downloader) and sometimes like now, without using anything especial, i lose conection to navigate with firefox
[03:37] <lbawinowns> Enverex: ok, It's time to pretend im a hacker then :p, How do I mount a cd in terminal?
[03:37] <Paddy_EIRE> bulmer, it just skipped to the next line when I did lsmod |grep ipw
[03:37] <Enverex> zaggynl, Different desktop, few pre-installed apps... "new distro" it's the Ubuntu user mentality, heh
[03:37] <CCmonster> i need to do a fresh samba install
[03:38] <ubuntu-tr> Salam
[03:38] <CCmonster> but when i sudo apt-get remove samba, it doesnt remove the files in /etc/samba/
[03:38] <Enverex> lbawinowns, "sudo mount /dev/cdrom" may work
[03:38] <zaggynl> Enverex, to be honest, I'm getting quite tired of it :P
[03:38] <ubuntu-tr> hi lan hi
[03:38] <Enverex> CCmonster, Thats because you need to "purge"
[03:38] <MerlinZShell> any link that describes that ?
[03:38] <CCmonster> ah.
[03:38] <CCmonster> and that would be?
[03:38] <ubuntu-tr> anann amm
[03:38] <iturk_> hey guys i just apt-get install swf-player and now when i try to load a flash page with firefox i get -> "the swf file caused a fatal error in the swf decoder" and nothing is displayed !!! can someone help ?
[03:38] <usser> CCmonster: dpkg --purge
[03:38] <CCmonster> sudo purge /etc/samba/
[03:38] <zaggynl> I hope one day, the Ubuntu devs will focus on: 1: drivers and 2:good apps (that do all I need)
[03:38] <Fabzgy> Anyone out there who can help me with ISDN clients?
[03:39] <sipior> zaggynl: perhaps a cookie as well?
[03:39] <Viddy> zaggynl: you'll find that they are pretty good already
[03:39] <zaggynl> No thanks
[03:39] <Enverex> MerlinZShell, Google "ubuntu update" heh
[03:39] <Enverex> !dist-upgrade
[03:39] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[03:39] <Enverex> There you go MerlinZShell
[03:39] <driverx> Psibuntu .... Sorry---> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:39] <bulmer> Paddy_EIRE: thats the driver for atheros chips..madwifi -- ipfwxxx  try to load the one that matches your chips
[03:39] <Viddy> Couple of random comments: installed 6.10 on a random dell server today - doing a host on the static ip address entered on the setup screen to suggest the hostname is "how it should be done" and for me, less typing.
[03:39] <tideline> lbawinowns: mount /dev/cdrom /mount/point/you/decide - is that what you are looking ofr?
[03:40] <MerlinZShell> Enverex:  thank you guys thank you all
[03:40] <zaggynl> For instance, I don't like the meddling with totem-xine/totem-gstreamer, the fact that no music player can play everything, is lightweight and stable
[03:40] <bscanlan> Hi! I have a 4TB disk array, attached to a aicxxxx SCSI controller in a Dell 2650. I installed feisty (Debian Sarge was previously on the system). Now, there is only 2TB of the disk array available (xfs gets quite upset at this). I get this in dmesg: "sdd : READ CAPACITY(16) failed.". Any ideas?
[03:40] <lbawinowns> tideline: ok, I tryy that'
[03:40] <CCmonster> so sudo dpkg --purge /etc/samba/
[03:40] <Enverex> tideline, If it's in fstab then mount /dev/cdrom alone should work
[03:40] <CCmonster> ?
[03:40] <SnuS> Hello. Help. How can I make grub automatically boot without manually editing /boot/grub/menu.lst ? I want to set timeout 1 and hiddenmenu, but do it somehow from a shell script.
[03:40] <Enverex> CCmonster, No, the package not the location
[03:40] <Viddy> bscanlan: have you had a play with installing the (ugh) binary drivers from dell?
[03:40] <CCmonster> i need to remove all of the .conf files
[03:41] <usser> CCmonster: sudo dpkg --purge samba
[03:41] <tideline> lbawinowns: you will have to create the mount point first
[03:41] <usser> CCmonster: this will remove samba with all the configs its created
[03:41] <lbawinowns> tideline: ok,
[03:41] <Enverex> tideline, His drive should have a default mount point, no point mounting it somewhere else
[03:41] <bscanlan> Viddy: no. The aic7xxx controller is adaptec rather than dell...
[03:41] <CCmonster> its still there
[03:41] <CCmonster> :(
[03:41] <Paddy_EIRE> bulmer, i am unsure which to choose
[03:41] <mwe> sudo apt-get --purge remove samba?
[03:41] <usser> CCmonster: delete it by hand then
[03:42] <bulmer> SnuS: grub does your auto booting..now you want to edit it without manual editing? heck you need to manually edit things, nothing gets auto edited, you can use sed or vim
[03:42] <Paddy_EIRE> bulmer, how do I find out which one it was using before
[03:42] <CCmonster> i dont have the power in the gui
[03:42] <CCmonster> to do that
[03:42] <CCmonster> :(
[03:42] <Viddy> bscanlan: right... The binary cli program from adaptec then? - I've recently banged my head against a wall with the 2900, i think
[03:42] <Enverex> SnuS, Just do "sudo nano -w /boot/grub/menu.lst"
[03:43] <lbawinowns> Yay thanks!, got LBA1 working for Ubuntu now :D
[03:43] <usser> CCmonster: open the terminal
[03:43] <CCmonster> k
[03:43] <Enverex> Is anyone here using a Dell Inspiron 6400?
[03:43] <usser> CCmonster: and cd /etc/samba
[03:43] <smoenux> What Engine powers the Ubuntu forums?  is it Open Source? How do I get it?
[03:43] <CCmonster> k
[03:43] <Viddy> bscanlan: my gut feeling is that the error messages in there are probably going to help you somewhat
[03:44] <bulmer> Paddy_EIRE: I dont know, but you can look around /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/wireless
[03:44] <SnuS> bulmer I have a couple of computers to install and this would help a bit. I thought of using sed, but figgured there could be another way.
[03:44] <sudeep> my pc doesn't poweroff automatically while shutting down.. (ubuntu 7.04) .. solutions??
[03:44] <ConfidentiaL> How can I make the background of a form transparent? So that I can have a background image with transparency on...

[03:45] <CCmonster> i know
[03:45] <CCmonster> i am
[03:45] <bulmer> SnuS: you will be using an editor or sed whichever you prefer
[03:45] <usser> CCmonster: MAKE SURE!!!
[03:45] <Enverex> Or just "sudo rm -rf /etc/samba"
[03:46] <SnuS> bulmer thanks, I'll sed s///

[03:48] <Sunbow> hi i normally lose conection to navigate with firefox using Azureus, anyone know how to resolve it?
[03:48] <magic_ninja> at times my internet goes down (i use cable via dhcp), and i have to sudo ifdown then sudo ifup it for it to work, is there a way I can make a script to do that for me to put on my girlfriend's account (she doesn't have admin access)
[03:48] <bulmer> sudeep: umm you can manually press the off switch?
[03:48] <Enverex> valehru, Yes
[03:49] <CCmonster> hey,
[03:49] <CCmonster> it returned an error when i did sudo apt-get install samba
[03:49] <CCmonster> to get a fresh install
[03:49] <sudeep> ya .. thhat is possible .. but it used to poweoff automatically in prev. releases.
[03:49] <DrColossus> sudeep: this worked for me: edit /etc/modules and add the line: apm power_off=1
[03:49] <sipior> magic_ninja: a setuid-root script would do it, but is a security nightmare
[03:49] <Enverex> CCmonster, ... well telling us the error would be useful
[03:50] <sudeep> DrColossus.. i will give it a try

[03:50] <armanmx> I can not get Ubuntu 6.06 on my Lapto T21, at the end of installation I just get a black screen, any Idea
[03:50] <dennda> CCmonster, please use a paste service!
[03:50] <CCmonster> pase service?
[03:50] <Enverex> Why does this channel not have an auto-kicking flood bot?
[03:51] <bulmer> magic_ninja: whats your girlfriends name and ill take care of her...lolz
[03:51] <crdlb> !pastebin
[03:51] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[03:51] <sipior> Enverex: it would be considered rude to new folks who may not yet grok internet custom
[03:51] <wickerman> if anyone knows how I can get my ENE card reader to work on feisty with an ACER 5100 laptop, send me a message. Thanks!
[03:51] <magic_ninja> bulmer: lol then i would have to take care of you
[03:51] <sipior> Enverex: i agree that it can be a problem at times
[03:51] <dennda> paste service. paste services are websites where you can put your copied stuff into a field, submit it and get a link you can share with us (that leads to your pasted content). this does not flood the channel
[03:51] <crdlb> Enverex: the server will kick them if the paste is really fast
[03:51] <bulmer> lolz
[03:52] <crdlb> but most clients delay the posts to avoid it
[03:52] <Enverex> sipior, They can rejoin the forum and don't you think it's more rude to the 1233 other people in the channel \?
[03:52] <sipior> Enverex: i don't really care one way or the other, frankly
[03:52] <Woody__> please i need some urgent help
[03:52] <magic_ninja> is there  a way to give her admin access to just the network
[03:52] <CCmonster> paste as irc logs?
[03:53] <Viddy> bscanlan: whats the specific model name of the controller?
[03:53] <bulmer> magic_ninja: i think something like a client from dyndns can do that, it checks if the ip is still valid and then it re-register itself, so maybe you can modify to add ifdown/ifup
[03:53] <Viddy> bscanlan: looking at the adaptec website i'm getting the "i've been here before feeling"
[03:53] <CCmonster> Here is my error output = http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20345/
[03:53] <sipior> magic_ninja: yes, you can configure sudo to allow her to just run ifup and ifdown, as you like
[03:53] <bscanlan> Viddy: Adaptec aic7899 Ultra160 SCSI adapter
[03:54] <bulmer> magic_ninja: the power of sudo..assign commands strictly for ifup and ifdown
[03:54] <magic_ninja> i've never messed with permissions much
[03:54] <Woody__> i installed the wrong nvidia driver for my other laptop for ubuntu, i restarted and now i cant enter ubuntu... help
[03:54] <zaggynl> I believe you get kicked automagically here when flooding
[03:54] <zaggynl> I'm itching to try :] 
[03:54] <sipior> magic_ninja: well, no time like the present, as they say
[03:55] <bscanlan> Viddy: LBA64 support perhaps?
[03:55] <bscanlan> Viddy: I'm frantically googling ;)
[03:55] <dennda> Woody__, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg from commandline
[03:55] <CCmonster> sudo dpkg --add samba?
[03:55] <magic_ninja> CCmonster: what are you trying to do?
[03:55] <Viddy> that 2TB limit is a funny one
[03:56] <Viddy> might be
[03:56] <CCmonster> i removed samba, as well as the conf's
[03:56] <magic_ninja> CCmonster: if your trying to install samba then sudo apt-get install samba
[03:56] <CCmonster> but im trying to re-install, fresh
[03:56] <CCmonster> yea, it errored
[03:56] <magic_ninja> sudo apt-get remove --purge samba

[03:56] <gsiliceo> hi, this is my problem, i was using ubuntu with the integrated graphics in the motherboard and all cool, but yestarday i installed a Nvidia fx5200 and ubuntu wasnt loading anymore, in the recovery mode showed an error and stopped there in the middle of the boot process
[03:56] <ksnipz> hey I'm having some dual boot problems with xp, I installed XP on a slave, and I added the lines needed in GRUB but when I go to boot into xp it just says starting up.. and doesn't seem to move on from there
[03:56] <Woody__> dennda: okay... there is a list now: sis sisusb tdfx tga trident tsend vesa.... what do i do?

[03:57] <dennda> Woody__, choose vesa. you will then be able to log into your graphical interface. you will have to fix your drivers then
[03:57] <Viddy> bscanlan: I'd probably do that by loading up a debian boot disk
[03:57] <gsiliceo> ksnipz, i've found throught out try and error an universal solution to those grub problems when having multiple hard disks
[03:57] <stefg> dennda: , Woody__  i'd use 'nv' instaed
[03:58] <bscanlan> Viddy: the same problem occurs with a standard debian kernel. The one on the box was modified in some way (before my time). The config for that kernel is one the 4TB array... :)
[03:58] <ksnipz> stefg, I've followed the howto's and was able to configure grub and I've fixed the menu file its just that when I click XP it still seems to hang up
[03:58] <dennda> stefg, is nv the open one?
[03:58] <Zs> why does su doesn't work in terminal

[03:58] <Viddy> ah
[03:58] <bscanlan> Viddy: it's the backup server 8)

[03:58] <Zs> how to install java?
[03:58] <magic_ninja> CCmonster: don't use dpkg
[03:58] <dennda> Zs, try sudo -s
[03:58] <Viddy> bscanlan: heh
[03:58] <stefg> dennda: yes, the opensource driver. just tomporary to sort out the trouble
[03:58] <CCmonster> ok
[03:58] <gsiliceo> Zs download automatix
[03:59] <magic_ninja> CCmonster: use these commands - sudo apt-get remove --purge samba then sudo apt-get install samba
[03:59] <Zs> ???
[03:59] <Viddy> bscanlan: yeah, we're going to run into that one rather soon, i think

[03:59] <dennda> Woody__, ok, choose nv instead. (but vesa will do the job, too.)
[03:59] <gsiliceo> Zs, you have feisty or what version?
[03:59] <dennda> Woody__, that depends on your system. usually you can just go through these steps
[03:59] <CCmonster> i did that magic_ninja
[03:59] <Paddy_EIRE> bulmer, still no joy
[04:00] <Woody__> ah okay dennda im rebooting the other system now
[04:00] <Woody__> dennda: stand by

[04:01] <Zs> what? how?
[04:01] <driverx> Zs.. you can run sudo apt-get install sun java5-jre and it'll be done
[04:01] <dennda> Woody__, and what version of ubuntu are you running?
[04:02] <Woody__> i opened the terminal and typed:   sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[04:02] <Welsh_Dwarf> Hi, I've just upgraded to feisty, and my ide cdroms stopped working (my ide HD still works fine). The machine still boots some older live-cds so it isn't a materiel problem, dmesg gives me a load of hda: lost interrupt after having identified the drives, and I'm running 2.6.20-15.

[04:04] <dennda> Woody__, then move to System -> Administration -> Proprietary Drivers (or similar). (I really hope the dialog chooses the right driver for your card, then. If not, repeat the above mentioned steps.) ;)

[04:09] <gfxstyler> hi
[04:09] <usser> gubluntu: i do
[04:09] <gfxstyler> i seriously need some advice
[04:09] <Woody__> dennda: i rebooted, there is no picture. its black but i head the drums sound
[04:09] <Woody__> dennda: it didnt work :(
[04:09] <gfxstyler> why, in the world, does ubuntu delete my gfx-card driver at every boot-up
[04:09] <zaggynl> gubluntu, I can advise you to use xchat2 ;-)
[04:09] <usser> gubluntu: but that channel thingy kinda confuses  me to
[04:09] <Zs> hold on!
[04:09] <gubluntu> gfxstyler , how do you mean?
[04:09] <ash0le> hmm
[04:09] <dennda> Woody__, is it a tft?
[04:09] <gfxstyler> it's located in /lib/modules/[insert kernel name here] /misc     and i had to put it into volatile so i copied (or symlinked it)
[04:10] <ash0le> anyone know what this means when im trying to use apt-get install
[04:10] <ash0le> timestamp too far in the future: May 11 18:04:36 2007
[04:10] <gfxstyler> gubluntu: ubuntu removes my fglrx.ko at every startup from /lib/modules/bla/volatile
[04:10] <dennda> Woody__, if you can hear the drums thats a good sign
[04:10] <stefg> Woody__: if you hear the drum, then it means that X started. It might be that the Monitor does not sync
[04:10] <gfxstyler> gubluntu: that ain't fun you know :) gotta copy it over at every boot
[04:10] <dennda> stefg, Woody__ it seems likely that the resolution cannot be displayed by your screen or something similar
[04:11] <Viddy> bscanlan: oh, if you get curious - don't run smartcli on /dev/sdb, you'll find that with certain scsi cards, it locks the box hard....
[04:11] <Woody__> im using 1024X768.... thats the default

[04:11] <dennda> Woody__, there is an option that lets you choose the resolution in that dialog
[04:12] <Zs> then how?
[04:12] <dennda> choose the right one
[04:12] <driverx> Zs sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre
[04:12] <Woody__> stand by pelase dennda
[04:12] <gubluntu> gfxstyler , sorry, im not quite sure, you could try #ubuntu-effects if you cant get help here.. ppl there have good gfx card help

[04:14] <smoenux> jason_, usser: yeah... lol
[04:15] <Viddy> bscanlan: aic7xxx evidently takes an extended attribute for the kernel argument
[04:15] <Zs> so anything i need to do, after that?
[04:15] <zero-9376> kgangulw: is your essid hidden
[04:15] <Zs> is that all?
[04:15] <bulmer> kgangulw: how are you doing this? what command you do to test?
[04:15] <dr_willis> kgangulw,  i asked you a question earlier - and you dident answer

[04:16] <driverx> Zs you bet!
[04:16] <jokoon> jason__ it is gaim
[04:16] <smoenux> jason_: Pidgin is the next vesion of gaim
[04:16] <CheshireViking> !pidgin
[04:16] <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
[04:16] <gubluntu> usser , bitchx, for all its "heavy modification".. wont highlight my nick when someone writes to me....

[04:16] <jsizzle> I just installed azureus following the FAQ instructions using azureus-gcj and it crashes in the setup wizard complaining about libglibjni.so, but if I run with sudo it runs fine? any ideas?? TIA
[04:16] <kgangulw> sorry what was teh question to me? i'm not running any command...simply using the network tool in System->network section
[04:16] <Zs> thnks , guys and gals
[04:16] <Viddy> bscanlan: ah!         aic7xxx=extended,no_reset  The extended value, if non-zero, indicates that extended translation for large disks is enabled. The no_reset value, if non-zero, tells the driver not to reset the SCSI bus when setting up the host adaptor at boot.
[04:16] <usser> gubluntu: now thats just weird mine highlites it yellow
[04:17] <kgangulw> oh and my wirelss card is a broadcom...
[04:17] <kgangulw> seem to be working as its detecting other wirelss networks but not my own one :(
[04:17] <gumpa> Howdy all. I can't get screen blanking to stop - Feisty
[04:17] <gubluntu> kgangulw , can you find it with another machine?
[04:17] <bulmer> kgangulw: what you mean your own? you have your own access point (AP) ?
[04:17] <jsizzle> kgangulw: your having trouble getting your broadcom wifi working? my dad's laptop has that and I have it working, are you using ndiswrapper?
[04:18] <gumpa> I've ran the setterm commands I've Googled, no luck
[04:18] <FrozenDDD> Hallo!
[04:18] <stylinII> hello, is there a proper channel for midi programming questions ?
[04:18] <gumpa> where does blanking config live?
[04:18] <kgangulw> yes i can connect from windows machines to my wireless network...but from ubuntu i cannot.
[04:18] <skunkworks> I had to use fwcutter to get my broadcom card to work.
[04:18] <kgangulw> i used fwcutter
[04:18] <skunkworks> ndiswapper wan't cutting it.
[04:19] <gubluntu> kgangulw , there are many reasons for not detecting a wifi AP, many not to do with ubuntu, mroe so i think due to the fact that you see other AP's
[04:19] <strabes> skunkworks: ha ha ha
[04:19] <skunkworks> ;)
[04:19] <gubluntu> kgangulw , is the SSID hidden? did you try manually adding it by name?
[04:19] <jsizzle> skunkworks: which broadcom card you have? I tried fwcutter but couldn't get it working on my dad's lappy
[04:19] <angrybirdman> wich ports are xchat using for dcc get??
[04:19] <sainzeo> anyone know how to change the main menu ubuntu icon?
[04:19] <dr_willis> fwcutter worked for my broadcom based laptop. :)

[04:20] <jsizzle> dr_willis: which broadcom card? I think my dad's is a broadcom 4319 I think
[04:20] <ice-11> hi. I'm setting up a shorewall firewall on ubuntu with two ethernet interfaces.  How come loc and net are treated the same? when I make the rule "net $FW DROP"  I can no longer access my firewall from an internal address.
[04:20] <djc> link2 i meant
[04:20] <jsizzle> dr_willis: it's a truemobile 1400
[04:20] <kgangulw> the SSID is not hidden...but it doesn't show in my list for some reason...how does it detect other wirelss networks but not my one lol
[04:20] <zero-9376> kgangulw: what are the settings for your ap, wep/wap essid hidden or vissible?
[04:20] <hecalledtheshitp> anyone know how i can connect to gamesurge, its not in the list of servers?
[04:20] <Enverex> Does anyone here have a Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop?
[04:20] <usser> kgangulw: thats Murphy's law =)

[04:21] <jason__> ok i downloaded pidgin 2.0 how do i install it
[04:21] <usser> kgangulw: go to your neighbors and ask them to trade access points
[04:21] <dr_willis> hecalledtheshitp,  add it to the server list. or use the /server whatever command.
[04:21] <skunkworks> it was a baffalo card with bcm43xx chipset
[04:21] <kgangulw> yeah router is on...i'm connecting to the router right now with network cable to check settings...is there anything i need to check?
[04:21] <noelferreira> how can i create a special group to own a file?
[04:21] <gubluntu> angrybirdman any ports you want
[04:21] <kjhgkjhg> how does a web site set it so that when i go to google in ff it makes me go to another website? With the http://www.google.com/ web address still in the bar????
[04:21] <ice-11> Shorewall experience anyone?

[04:22] <LegJoe2> how do you install fonts?
[04:22] <djc> is there a way to links2 to view yahoomail?
[04:22] <zero-9376> kgangulw: are you sure that the windows machines can connect right at this moment, sometimes my wireless goes down but ethernet keeps goin
[04:22] <gubluntu> kgangulw if you dont mind.. the fastest step is to reset the router completely...
[04:22] <skunkworks> I ended up finding everthing I needed to know from the ubuntuforums.org in regards to installing and setting up.  Even have wpa working.  (I am pretty new to linux)
[04:22] <bthornton> Are text-based serial terminals still used/sold today?  Something like VT-100 that could be used as a console on an otherwise headless server....
[04:22] <nicolah> is it possible to use vnc to remote-login to ubuntu ?
[04:22] <nox-Hand> Funny conceptual question I wish to try out. I have Ubuntu LiveCD. I have an ISO that I want to burn. Can I boot the LiveCD, mount the HDD its on, burn the ISO and will it work?
[04:22] <djc> is there a way to links2 to view yahoomail?
[04:22] <nox-Hand> Not as funny as could be, I had another sollution before, but this is better ;)
[04:23] <kgangulw> yeah i did think it was the router and restarted it too...do u mean reset it completely?
[04:23] <zero-9376> nox-Hand: should be able to
[04:23] <Jake> how does a web site set it so that when i go to google in ff it makes me go to another website? With the http://www.google.com/ web address still in the bar????
[04:23] <sorsis> nox-Hand: yes it should work if live-cd holds all the needed tools
[04:23] <usser> nicolah: yes it is
[04:23] <kgangulw> or should i try disabling wep
[04:23] <djc> is there a way to links2 to view yahoomail?
[04:23] <Woody__> dennda: what do you think i should do?
[04:23] <gumpish> Where are NTP adjustments logged?
[04:23] <gumpa> pauljw: well, I just re-checked, I was wrong. maybe my setterm noodling changed it thx I'll wait and see  now
[04:23] <nicolah> usser, I'd like to log to ubuntu from a windows pc. should I use a normal vnc client ? I tried with real vnc but It does not ask for any user or password
[04:23] <usser> nicolah: look into x11vnc
[04:23] <arkanabar> Jake, I'd think that's an http or html question, not an ubuntu question
[04:23] <kgangulw> oh also the router is running 802.11 mode in mixed mode. should i set that to B only?
[04:24] <ubuntu> asd
[04:24] <nicolah> thanks usser, is it for windows ?
[04:24] <gubluntu> kgangulw you shouldnt have to... did oyu try manually adding it by name?
[04:24] <thefirstdude> why do they have gutsy, hoary, and woarty, in the online repository?
[04:24] <Jake> arkanabar: thank you mindlessly rambleing. Ignored.
[04:24] <nox-Hand> sorsis: gret
[04:24] <usser> nicolah: no its a server for ubuntu
[04:24] <pauljw> gumpa: hope it's that simple :)
[04:24] <nox-Hand> great*
[04:24] <djc> is there a way to links2 to view yahoomail?
[04:24] <noelferreira> how can i create a special group to own a file?
[04:24] <usser> nicolah: and i personally prefer ultraVNC viewer client for windows
[04:24] <LegJoe2> how can I install Fonts in 7.04??
[04:24] <kgangulw> yeah i manually added the name...it prompts for the wep key when i do that...even after submitting the correct key it doesn't go beyond that
[04:25] <gumpa> pauljw: indeed. Do you know what file I'm changing with the 'Screensaver' dialog?
[04:25] <Jake> how does a web site set it so that when i go to google in ff it makes me go to another website? With the http://www.google.com/ web address still in the bar????
[04:25] <skunkworks> with ndiswrapper - the power light never came on in the network card.  that was my main issue.
[04:25] <djc> is there a way to links2 to view yahoomail?
[04:25] <gubluntu> kgangulw most likely human error.. disable WEP.. it should work.. then you will know that your problem is password/WEP related
[04:25] <nicolah> usser, should I be able to remote-login to ubuntu using ultraVNC in windows and x11vnc in ubuntu ?
[04:25] <pauljw> gumpa: no i don't, sry.
[04:25] <arkanabar> I can't get GRUB to work.  It's on my dapper install, on my slave drive, but it isn't invoked when I boot.
[04:25] <preaction> Jake: you can change /etc/hosts to achieve that effect
[04:25] <djc> is there a way to links2 to view yahoomail?
[04:25] <usser> nicolah: thats what i did just now =), from work =)
[04:26] <Jake> preaction, but can that be done by a website you've visited?
[04:26] <nicolah> thanks usser
[04:26] <preaction> Jake: not unless your system is severely insecure
[04:26] <usser> nicolah: the only thing is that if u vncing from internet port 5900 should be forwarded
[04:26] <djc> is there a way to links2 to view yahoomail?
[04:26] <preaction> !repeat | djc
[04:26] <Jake> preaction, its ubuntu, you tell me, besides, i see nothing in the hosts file accept localhost stuffs
[04:26] <nicolah> usser, it's about a private network.
[04:26] <jason__> so no one knows how to install pidgin 2.0
[04:26] <nicolah> usser, I'm instlaling x11vnc right now
[04:26] <ubotu> djc: 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
[04:26] <bulmer> nicolah your ubuntu does not ask for password when you're using vnc? what is your ip address?
[04:26] <gubluntu> !patience | djc
[04:27] <ubotu> djc: The people here are volunteers, your attitude may determine how fast you are helped.  Not everyone is available all the time, likewise not every answer is available instantly. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[04:27] <LegJoe2> Anyone know how to install fonts

[04:27] <rollerskatejamms>  Recommends: kde-guidance-powermanager but it is not going to be installed
[04:27] <bulmer> nicolah: thats because you dont have a vncserver listening in on for a connection
[04:27] <rollerskatejamms> I have all repositories enabled.
[04:27] <munch> im new to ubuntu and its gone all wierd on me can anyone help?
[04:28] <dr_willis> nicolah,  ive seen som eissues in the past where the vncserver program dosent run properly. see if your vncclient can connect locally
[04:28] <bulmer> rollerskatejamms: dont flood
[04:28] <gsiliceo> flavio, yo hablo espaol pero no portugues
[04:28] <nicolah> bulmer, I do. but I don't want to "share desktop" but to log more than one user
[04:28] <gsiliceo> hi, this is my problem, i was using ubuntu with the integrated graphics in the motherboard and all cool, but yestarday i installed a Nvidia fx5200 and ubuntu wasnt loading anymore, in the recovery mode showed an error and stopped there in the middle of the boot process
[04:28] <nicolah> guys thanks for your replies. I installed x11vncserver and I'm making some tests
[04:28] <Jake> how does a web site set it so that when i go to google in ff it makes me go to another website? With the http://www.google.com/ web address still in the bar???? (Already checked /etc/hosts)
[04:28] <dr_willis> nicolah,  use the normal vncserver then
[04:29] <drif> munch: try to explain a bit about this weirdness part
[04:29] <mangojambo> people, how can I comunicate with windows users using ekiga ? Using any SIP client ??
[04:29] <bulmer> nicolah: try nxmachine client  amazingly  fast
[04:29] <jason__> well i stick to gaim then
[04:29] <munch> i just updated my ubuntu and restarted and all the writin has turned into little squares anyone know a solution?

[04:30] <nicolah> bulmer, thanks but nxmachine it's a client for linux and I need a client for windows to remote-login to ubuntu
[04:30] <buz1> Hi, i've installed ubuntu and have installed a couple of plugins into firefox, but when I try to upgrade, firefox says an error occured. I think it might be a permission problem, but I can't figure out which folders to edit
[04:30] <Jake> tideline, all its got in there is nameserver and the lan ip of my router
[04:30] <nicolah> I'm making some test, gimme some minutes
[04:30] <CCmonster> I was curious, could someone help me with this "sources" issue?
[04:30] <bulmer> nicolah: you're wrong, they have a windows version so one on windows can connect to linux box
[04:31] <kgangulw> is there a specific channel i need to set the wirelss router to work or would it work on any channel?
[04:31] <gubluntu> arkanabar http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351

[04:32] <tideline> Jake: in a shell type dig www.google.com
[04:32] <nicolah> now I'm making my way to discover the right windows client
[04:32] <LegJoe2> can someone tell me how to install fonts
[04:32] <Ademan_> what's the difference between the dia-gnome and dia packages?  All the dia-gnome package says is that it's the GNOME version, what exactly does that mean?
[04:33] <djy__> some one in china
[04:33] <arkanabar> glubuntu, I've tried that, but grub find /boot/grub/stage1 gives me an error
[04:33] <usser> nicolah: http://www.uvnc.com/index.html this is my choice ;)

[04:33] <bobbob1016> does anyone know of an app, or preferably a plugin for thunderbird, that allows me to get my yahoomail?
[04:33] <arkanabar> don't recall precisely what it said, was "Error 15" ... something about not finding it.
[04:34] <zaggynl> dv5237, change the runlevel, so it doesn't use gdm or kdm but textmode
[04:34] <gubluntu> nicolah in my experiance nx was faster for me.
[04:34] <sipior> LegJoe2: if it's just for your use, drop it in .fonts and it should be picked up
[04:34] <zaggynl> Someone correct me if I'm talking rubbish
[04:34] <gubluntu> arkanabar cant help much without the exact error
[04:34] <LegJoe2> I looked for .fonts, but it isnt there
[04:34] <Jake> tideline, you mean under the answer section? There are three entries
[04:34] <arkanabar> Odd thing is, I'm in win2k and can see f:\boot\grub\stage1
[04:34] <sipior> LegJoe2: well, you could make the directory, of course
[04:34] <arkanabar> let me get my liveCD and see what happens
[04:34] <Pieter_> guys, how do i play subtitles in totem movie player?
[04:34] <LegJoe2> done
[04:35] <habeeb> Hey there. My sister has an iBook G4. Is it possible to install Ubuntu on it?
[04:35] <sipior> LegJoe2: are these true type fonts, btw?
[04:35] <Jake> tideline, follow me to #imgonnapasteithere
[04:35] <buz1> Hi, when I try to upgrade extensions in firefox, I get "an error occured". I think it might be a permission problem, but I can't figure out which folders to edit.
[04:35] <buz1> I can't seem to find anyone else whith the problem, orelse I don't know what to search for. I'm running a freshly installed dapper drake
[04:35] <bobbob1016> habeeb, yes, you need the ppc ubuntu
[04:35] <LegJoe2> yes
[04:35] <Ademan_> Pieter_: i don't know the answer to that, sorry, but I do recommend using a better movie player like mplayer or vlc
[04:35] <Pieter_> habeeb, of course, ubuntu is way smaller than mac os or windows
[04:35] <Pieter_> ok
[04:35] <sipior> LegJoe2: k, just drop em in there, and see if gnome picks them up
[04:35] <munch> i just updated my ubuntu and restarted and all the writin has turned into little squares anyone know a solution?
[04:35] <habeeb> Pieter_: And is that version supported? I mean, it has the same software available as the x86 edition?
[04:36] <LegJoe2> I'll try it now
[04:36] <Pieter_> habeeb, i think so
[04:37] <gordboy> munch, could be a locale problem. utf-8 chars or something
[04:37] <CCmonster> anyone use Qtorrent?
[04:37] <bobbob1016> habeeb, it isn't really supported anymore though, it works though.  I don't think there is a feisty installer, but there is an edgy one, I installed edgy ppc on my PS3, then upgraded to feisty without issues.
[04:37] <dougie> ....ok finally got linux installed without a cdrom drive :-D
[04:37] <Ademan_> CCmonster: i use Ktorrent
[04:37] <gordboy> munch, what packages did you update ? have a look there first
[04:37] <munch> gordboy sorry m8 how do i sort it im really new to ubuntu
[04:38] <CCmonster> i use Ktorrent too, but Qtorrent is apparently quite good.
[04:38] <dougie> now.....it's says my resolution is set to 1680x1050 but my lcd is picking it up as 1736x1050 how do i fix this?
[04:38] <CCmonster> Ktorrent crashes on me after a while as well,  its never stable :(
[04:38] <Ademan_> lol
[04:38] <munch> it said there was 465 updates some updated some didnt
[04:38] <Enverex> CCmonster, Same here, I use Deluge now
[04:38] <lmnop__> i really like deluge, but for some reason it wont run anymore on my box.... it made me sad
[04:38] <habeeb> bobbob1016: I see. Also, I have another problem. My sister is like 14 years old, so she has absolutely no idea about the stuff that came with the laptop (it wasn't hers to begin with). In case something messes up, I can still format and put OS X, eh?
[04:39] <bobbob1016> habeeb, yes
[04:39] <gordboy> munch, 465 updates ? what are you using 6.06 ?
[04:39] <CCmonster> what is a fiesty backport?
[04:39] <_Johny> Does anyone know how can i obtain the default ubuntu theme in Gnome?
[04:39] <arkanabar> gubluntu this gets weirder and weirder.  I selected "Boot from first HD" from the liveCD boot menu, and GRUB came up.
[04:39] <bobbob1016> habeeb, barring pouring coffee on it or something
[04:39] <Goetmet> I sometimes find useful to have tabs in a pdf documents, to see differents parts of the same document.. is there any pdf viewer that allows me to do this?
[04:39] <habeeb> :P
[04:40] <CCmonster> Deluge?
[04:40] <quaal> does anyone have a problem running electric sheep screensaver with compiz ?
[04:40] <CCmonster> never heard of it
[04:40] <habeeb> bobbob1016: Any idea on where the PPC iso is?
[04:40] <munch> cant find the disk at this second i had a friend install it for me
[04:40] <munch> :(
[04:40] <arkanabar> gubluntu:  that error you wanted for "find /boot/grub/stage1" is "Error 15: file not found"
[04:40] <lmnop__> quaal, if i find screensavers are a hit and miss thing with compiz. make sure you have 3d configured right
[04:40] <bobbob1016> habeeb, I'm looking

[04:41] <dave_> i'm trying to mount an .iso file
[04:41] <CCmonster> ktorrent just had an upgrae
[04:41] <ghassan> Hi all
[04:41] <CCmonster> like..seconds ago, i assume, im set to update daily
[04:41] <quaal> lmnop__, what do you mean by that, it works fine with just metacity, and also beryl
[04:41] <shmill> if i tell you my general system specs... can you tell me if i should use Xubuntu or Ubuntu?
[04:41] <zach> hey all I'd like to know if getting beryl/3d accel. is possible with an ati "Rage Mobility P/M AGP 2x (rev 64)"?
[04:41] <dave_> i'm using mount -o loop -t iso9660 /home/username/file.iso /home/test
[04:41] <dave_> i'm getting an error
[04:41] <dave_> ioctl: loop_set_fd: invalid argument
[04:42] <bobbob1016> habeeb, I don't think there is one for feisty, you'd probably have to upgrade to feisty from edgy.  Shouldn't be an issue, so long as you do it first thing when you boot edgy
[04:42] <lmnop__> zach, i would guess it is.... but dont quote me on that
[04:42] <IntangibleLiquid> zach: why don't you just give it a try?
[04:42] <CCmonster> Ok so, could someone help me
[04:42] <habeeb> bobbob1016: And the procedure is the same as in x86? Download iso, burn iso, push the disk into the Mac?
[04:42] <arkanabar> Why does GRUB only work when I use the liveCD & choose "Boot from main hard disk"?
[04:42] <zach> i'm used to gentoo...and nvidia cards :) i justneed the name of the package i should be looking for
[04:43] <CCmonster> the qtorrent site says to add sources to the repository list, and says they are up to version .913 or somethign.
[04:43] <shmill> i mean i want to know if my system is "good enough" for Ubuntu or should i use Xubuntu... in matters of performance, not compability.
[04:43] <bobbob1016> habeeb, should be, you might have to hold C, or if OSX is on it now, you might have to go into the system prefs, and tell it to boot the CD
[04:43] <badvista> dave_: broken iso?
[04:43] <CCmonster> however, when i add sources, and reload synaptec, i get version 2.xxx something, and its definetly older
[04:43] <absum> does anyone know if there is some application to extract camera positioning data from digital photos?
[04:43] <_Johny> dave_: Did you manage to mount it? KDE or GNOME?
[04:43] <ubuntu_kix> I had to use the last distribution and upgrade online
[04:43] <dave_> no it does it with all of them hahaha
[04:43] <dave_> i'm actually just on the Live CD GNOME right now
[04:44] <badvista> dave_: try mount -t loop *.iso dir/
[04:44] <lmnop__> dave_, you have to tell it to use iso9660 as the file system
[04:44] <badvista> dave_: sorry my fault
[04:44] <habeeb> Hihi, if I screw it up, my sister will rape me :3
[04:44] <_Johny> dave_: I today already done somemounting with KDE application howewer. The best I could say is "Kiso" , should be in the repos
[04:45] <sakhi> Hi all.

[04:45] <_Johny> CCmonster: compile?
[04:46] <kvidell> I'm reading that loop should be a type, not an option
[04:46] <sipior> CCmonster: i think you mean unpack

[04:46] <CCmonster> yea
[04:46] <CCmonster> unpack
[04:46] <CCmonster> scuse' me
[04:46] <sipior> CCmonster: tar zxvf *.tar.gz

[04:46] <kvidell> that doesn't make sense
[04:46] <rollerskatejamms> Can anybody offer some advice as to how I might workaround this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-meta/+bug/114047
[04:46] <sakhi> don't u need to unpack?
[04:46] <arkanabar> I can only run GRUB by booting with the Live CD and choosing "Boot from main hard disk" -- how do I fix this so Grub runs without the liveCD?
[04:46] <CCmonster> ok, ive got the containing folder,
[04:46] <CCmonster> question , now what the hell do i do with it
[04:46] <CCmonster> lol
[04:46] <habeeb> Thank you, bobbob1016

[04:48] <nathan_> hello all
[04:48] <Goetmet> to add a new column to a model I know I have to create a new migration and use the add_column method in self_up... but how do I modifiy, for example, the NULL setting for a column?
[04:48] <CCmonster> ok,
[04:48] <CheshireViking> bobbob1016, don't know about thunderbird, but yahoo mail works fine with evolution mail, presumably the same settings would work in thunderbird
[04:48] <kvidell> usser: ctrl+z after it's running
[04:48] <CCmonster> so ive got this folder out of the tar.gz file i got
[04:48] <kvidell> usser: then when you get your terminal back, type bg
[04:48] <Goetmet> I have to create a new migration but what do i have to put there
[04:48] <CCmonster> question is, wth do i do with it
[04:48] <CCmonster> its Qtorrent
[04:48] <Goetmet> modify_column ? or what
[04:49] <CCmonster> and i need to install it
[04:49] <dave_> ok well the reason for mounting this guy anyway is that gparted and qtparted are not letting me shrink my ntfs partition
[04:49] <dave_> is there a better way to do thsi?
[04:49] <kvidell> usser: that'll suspend, then background the process.
[04:49] <CCmonster> but im not sure how to install a "folder" lol
[04:49] <bobbob1016> CheshireViking, the free yahoo mail?  I'm not sure if I mentioned that, sorry
[04:49] <gsiliceo> hi, this is my problem, i was using ubuntu with the integrated graphics in the motherboard and all cool, but yestarday i installed a Nvidia fx5200 and ubuntu wasnt loading anymore, in the recovery mode showed an error and stopped there in the middle of the boot process
[04:49] <sakhi> there is a read me fil in that blue directory.
[04:49] <nathan_> Does anyone else have issue with resolution set to 800x600 only after nVidia driver install?  (7.04)

[04:50] <nicolah> ho = no
[04:50] <Goetmet> any idea?
[04:50] <Goetmet> fuck i'm in the wrong channel
[04:50] <RAH66> hey all newbie is back
[04:50] <nathan_> Won;t let me.  xorg is set to allow resolutions up to 1280x1024.
[04:51] <Stonekeeper> hi! Is it mental to create a new partition on a live system? It wont knacker anything currently running will it? cheers
[04:51] <usser> kvidell: why does ps show two instances of app running
[04:51] <RAH66> will ubuntu connect to my current windows network?
[04:51] <yimmmmy> im finaly a linux noob  :}
[04:51] <yimmmmy> yes
[04:51] <arkanabar> I can only get Grub to work by booting from liveCD & choosing "Boot from main hard disk" -- how do I fix this?
[04:51] <gsiliceo> feisty will RAH66
[04:51] <shmill> i have a rather old computer: Duron 4 1.3ghz 512ram --> should i use ubuntu or xubuntu?
[04:51] <bobbob1016> CheshireViking, what server type did you use?  I'm trying to set it up with evolution now
[04:51] <kvidell> usser: no clue. seperate pids I presume?
[04:51] <dave_> any ideas on this ntfs resize?
[04:51] <CheshireViking> bobbob1016, i used the settings on this page to configure Evolution - http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/mailplus/pop/pop-14.html
[04:51] <RAH66> thanx Im getting it now
[04:51] <nathan_> If I disable the nVidia driver I get 1024x768 back and I'd be happy with that (setting this system up as kiosk).
[04:51] <usser> kvidell: never mind
[04:51] <darkstrikerd> nathan_: try change resolution in nvidia-settings
[04:51] <tarnap__> is there already a solution for the generic kernel + sata problem?
[04:52] <bobbob1016> CheshireViking, mailplus isn't the free one though
[04:52] <grimborg> is ntfs-3g (latest version) really to be trusted? i'm having some inconsistency problems with my ntfs partition under windows xp, but i don't know wether ntfs-3g or win is to blame. i've been googling around searching for problems with ntfs-3g and found nothing.. anyone here using ntfs-3g (for write) who cares to share threir experience? thanks
[04:52] <arkanabar> shmill, I'd think you're strong enough for gnome or kde.
[04:52] <yimmmmy> what video editing software dose ubuntu
[04:52] <CheshireViking> bobbob1016, i used the same settings and it worked ok
[04:52] <nathan_> Only 'auto' is enabled in nvidia-settings
[04:52] <tarnap__> hell yeah... i'm switching back to 6.04
[04:52] <tarnap__> see you later
[04:52] <darkstrikerd> grimborg: i use ntfs-3g without problems, until now.
[04:53] <kvidell> I do what I can.
[04:53] <nathan_> ntfs-3g rocks
[04:53] <RAH66> if I download feisty with wubi will I be able to install ubuntu on a formatted pc from the ISO on a cd
[04:53] <nathan_> What's your issue darkstrikerd?
[04:53] <CheshireViking> bobbob1016, i don't think there's any difference with the servers between the mailplus and the free service
[04:53] <gsiliceo> RAH66, i dont think so
[04:53] <RAH66> serios
[04:54] <gsiliceo> let me check that for you
[04:54] <grimborg> thanks darkstrikerd, nathan_.. maybe it's wxp fault :S
[04:54] <bobbob1016> CheshireViking, I thought they didn't allow free pop access, only for mailplus
[04:54] <yimmmmy> can i use my usb capturing card with ubuntu?
[04:54] <shmill> hey guys
[04:54] <RAH66> so Im gona have to keep windows
[04:54] <aslan> this is a really simple question I hope
[04:54] <arkanabar> GRUB only works for me when I boot from the liveCD and choose "Boot from main hard disk" ... how do I fix this?
[04:54] <CCmonster> okily, can someone help me to install qtorrent
[04:54] <shmill> is there a difference between the live-cd and the installed version of Ubuntu?
[04:54] <gsiliceo> Section "Device"

[04:54] <shmill> aside from the obvious
 thanks allot
[04:54] <aslan> I am running feisty, on an AMD x86_64, laptop, and for some reason I can NOT get libdvdcss to install
[04:54] <aslan> any ideas ?
[04:55] <zach> so i installed fglrx-control, xorg-driver-fglrx, and whatever their deps were....so will my xorg.conf be automagically changed if i reboot?
[04:55] <CheshireViking> bobbob1016, i don't know about that, maybe its just on old accounts that are still active that have pop3 available, its an old account i've got from before they started charging
[04:55] <dr_willis> yimmmmy,  i would not bet  on it. thost things are a bit notorious for  not having well documented specs so that means few drivers.
[04:55] <sunnypies> CCmonster, you want to install a torrent program?
[04:55] <RAH66> ?
[04:55] <nathan_> Maybe.  It's jsut weird.  I set the xorg before I even uinstalled the nVidia driver and I get 1024x768 fine.  after install it's 800x600 and can't change unless I uninstall the driver again.  Funky, hu?
[04:55] <bobbob1016> CheshireViking, I had mine for a while, at least 5 or 6 years
[04:55] <sipior> aslan: without error messages, diagnosis is hopeless
[04:55] <gsiliceo> RAH66 wait a little
[04:55] <martin__> good morning
[04:55] <RAH66> yeah I know
[04:55] <CheshireViking> bobbob1016, it should work then
[04:55] <RAH66> lol
[04:56] <martin__> how do get vlc to play my music through usb audio?
[04:56] <nicolah> usser, are you still there ?
[04:56] <RAH66> how are you checking?
[04:56] <aslan> sipior: well I just can't get it installed, when I do apt-get install it says there's not candidates
[04:56] <yimmmmy> can i use my usb capturing card with ubuntu?
[04:56] <aslan> and then when I try to run the install-css script it just sits there and doesn't output anything.....
[04:56] <nathan_> Sure you can yimmmmy,  just need to find the driver. :D
[04:56] <gsiliceo> no, the problem is, wubi doesnt keep the iso once it has installed ubuntu
[04:56] <arkanabar> (10:55:06) dr_willis: yimmmmy,  i would not bet  on it. thost things are a bit notorious for  not having well documented specs so that means few drivers.
[04:56] <Ix0s> aslan, Just try through Synaptic?
[04:56] <sipior> aslan: that's right, libdvdcss can't be bundled with the main ubuntu for legal reasons. have a look at medibuntu, i believe it can be found there
[04:57] <RAH66> so it makes an exe?
[04:57] <yimmmmy> ok
[04:57] <grimborg> another question.. i'm running feisty on an acer laptop and it sometimes freezes just after a minute or so. in the system log there's no error, just a line which says BUG: soft lookup detected on CPU#0. If I boot in single mode it doesn't freeze. I've tried disabling everything (renaming in /etc/rc2.d the files for bluetooth, acpi, apm... ) but with no luck so far. It sometimes freezes even before gdm fires up, so I don't think it's video ca
[04:57] <ubuntu_kix> automatix installs alot of drivers
[04:57] <gsiliceo> it unpacks it and then deletes it lol
[04:57] <yimmmmy> what should i be worried about with ubuntu
[04:57] <yimmmmy> like viruses
[04:57] <RAH66> lol
[04:57] <RAH66> gr8
[04:57] <sef_> Do I need to do anything other than create a .procmailrc to enable procmail in feisty?  I have the .procmailrc in my home directory.. but it's not filtering
[04:57] <nathan_> Exactly yimmmmy, what arkanabar said is very true.  theoreticvally you can run any hardware on any system, with the proper drivers.  if you can find them (or right your own if you're that good) than yes you can.
[04:57] <zaggynl> !automatix | ubuntu_kix
[04:57] <ubotu> ubuntu_kix: 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
[04:58] <gsiliceo> RAH66, wait, let me see if i there is a way to intercept the iso, from the download location
[04:58] <arkanabar> yimmmmy -- Viruses?  Almost none.  Maybe a rootkit attack.
[04:58] <RAH66> well for now its ok when I get my cd's I should be ready for UBUNTU hey?
[04:58] <yimmmmy> can u rom edit
[04:58] <yimmmmy> like gba roms and nes roms
[04:59] <gsiliceo> yeah, but lets see where wubi puts the iso before installation beggings
[04:59] <yimmmmy> and dl torrents and
[04:59] <titia> quit
[04:59] <yimmmmy> stuff
[04:59] <bobbob1016> RAH66, if you need a way to burn the CD's, try this http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm
[04:59] <RAH66> ahhh seee I wouldnt have thought of that
[04:59] <ubuntu_kix> yes automatix caused skipping on movie player with .flv files, so I use vlc media player
[04:59] <nathan_> Anyone else have any bright ideas to get this resolution problem fixed?
[04:59] <RAH66> yeah I know but we wana know if wubi keeps the iso????
[04:59] <gsiliceo> RAH66, found it, c:\wubi\install
[05:00] <nathan_> Al the typical fixes I have exhausted
[05:00] <somar> Can anyone help? How do get vlc to play my music through usb audio?
[05:00] <arkanabar> yimmmmy -- the trick is finding out what packages you need to do that stuff.  If you're really into it, you'll write your own.
[05:00] <RAH66> so it stays there?
[05:00] <gsiliceo> yeah
[05:00] <gsiliceo> hehe
[05:00] <darkstrikerd> nathan_: try reset in nvidia-settings

[05:01] <gsiliceo> good luck man
[05:01] <arkanabar> yimmmmy -- no.  I know almost nothing about various Nintendo emulators and ROM files.  I suggest lots of google and ask.com

[05:04] <w4nabe245143> thx
[05:04] <driverx> So, I install vmware server, (I guess) and then install the guest OS to that?

[05:04] <RAH66> open that with right click?
[05:04] <dr_willis> !terminal
[05:04] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal

[05:06] <RAH66> oh ok like the good old days
[05:06] <driverx> kitche.. OK I want to use emulation to play with various Linux distros.. so would actually installing each distro be the easiest way to do it?

[05:06] <teqman> sef_ stop spamming
[05:06] <Enverex> !repeat > sef_
[05:06] <yimmmmy> some one look please and tell me if they are worth the dling

[05:06] <yimmmmy> http://everythingelse.wordpress.com/2006/12/02/top-10-programs-for-linux/
[05:06] <CheshireViking> bobbob1016, give me a sec, i seem to remember there's something you have to enable in the yahoo account to enable pop3 access
[05:06] <RAH66> but not with the cd\ and dir/w and stuff??
[05:06] <james> I have installed ubuntu (7.04) on to a laptop for a coworker, however everytime i boot the laptop just powers off instantly when it gets to the point it should be loading X

[05:07] <darkstrikerd> RAH66: i play dos games with dosbox
[05:07] <james> any ideaS?
[05:07] <RAH66> yeah me too
[05:07] <yimmmmy> what are dos games
[05:08] <RAH66> "terminal" games
[05:08] <RAH66> lol
[05:08] <Feldegast> games made before win95 was popular
[05:08] <driverx> kitche.. is that a one time thing? or does it need to be done again after the machine reboots - Do you know a good site to explain the various programs (QEMU, VMware, ect.) and methods?
[05:08] <darkstrikerd> games like warcraft 2 are "dos games"
[05:08] <yimmmmy> oh sweet
[05:08] <yimmmmy> do they run well
[05:08] <w4nabe2451431> ever played aldo?
[05:09] <RAH66> I found syndicate checked it was like 3 meg in those days gees that was allot
[05:09] <Feldegast> doom was a dos game
[05:09] <justdave> I'm trying to do a pxe-install of Ubuntu Feisty (attempting to stage this for automated deployments), and the pxe installer seems to want to go install directly from a mirror...  I found the "enter manually" for the mirror, but it doesn't seem to like the mounted image of the installer CD on the local http server.  If I want the network install to happen locally, is it possible from the CD, or do I need to actually mirror the online repo?
[05:09] <tritium> yimmmmy: you never ran Microsoft's Disk Operating System (DOS)?
[05:09] <w4nabe2451431> chuck yeager air combat
[05:09] <arkanabar> GRUB only works for me if I boot from liveCD and choose "Boot from main hard disk" -- how do I fix this?
[05:09] <darkstrikerd> driverx: www.easyvmx.com create a simple virtual machine and run with vmware-player
[05:09] <dr_willis> RAH66,  for playing of actual DOS games - check out Dosbox. it emulates the old dos enviroment. :)
[05:09] <RAH66> yeah thats what I use
[05:09] <CheshireViking> bobbob1016, if you log into your yahoo account via webmail and find the options button (on mine, its near the top right of the screen next to mail upgrade), select the "Pop access and forwarding", on mine, there is an option to enable POP3 access
[05:09] <RAH66> lol
[05:09] <sorsis> how do i get wobbly windows etc. to KDE? what about cube desktop?

[05:11] <RAH66> any 1 rememba hotrod?
[05:11] <shirish> hi all, does anyone know if transmission (bittorrent client) is in the feisty repos.
[05:11] <yimmmmy> macromedia flash mx dose it work?
[05:11] <sorsis> arkanabar: is beryl enough or do i need compiz too?
[05:11] <kitche> driverx: one time thing
[05:11] <dr_willis> !find transmission
[05:11] <CheshireViking> bobbob1016, i'm certainly not paying for yahoomail plus, if i've got it, they've given it to me for free
[05:11] <ubotu> Package/file transmission does not exist in feisty
[05:11] <Enverex> yimmmmy, No, it's a Windows program
[05:11] <Loco> Hi, anyone knows some web for download neped.c?
[05:12] <driverx> kitche... ok thanks again

[05:16] <beer> any ideas of where to look
[05:16] <dr_willis> nicolah,  about any of them - i use ultravnc under windows
[05:16] <Vegeta^> When creating a new partition with during the Ubuntu Linux instal, what filesystem should be used for the swap? The 'default' ext3 or 'linux-swap'? And what about for the /, should that be a ext3 filesystem or can I choose ntsf filesystem?
[05:16] <MerlinZShell> any idea why my fluxbox doesnt have a menue ?
[05:16] <USMarine> berent a mod
[05:16] <sunnypies> tritium, thanks
[05:17] <dr_willis> nicolah,  they should all work. :) if done right.
[05:17] <USMarine> Vegeta^ linux-swap
[05:17] <nicolah> dr_willis, USMarine How should I configure vnc to remote-login ?
[05:17] <nicolah> I mean I can share the desktop
[05:17] <LjL> Vegeta^, being a swap partiton, you should mark it as swap of course. swap doesn't have a filesystem.
[05:17] <berent> USMarine : what?
[05:17] <nicolah> but I want to login with another user
[05:17] <tritium> sunnypies: of course.  It's also installable via apt-get or synaptic.  I just prefer aptitiude...
[05:17] <USMarine> nicolah just open a new vnc session
[05:17] <tritium> aptitude, even
[05:17] <LjL> Vegeta^: for root, you definitely DON'T want to (or can) use NTFS. use ext3.
[05:17] <gerry_> Vegeta^: swap not need filesystem
[05:17] <arkanabar> I can only get GRUB to work by booting from live/install DVD and choosing "Boot from main hard disk."  HOW do I fix this?
[05:17] <Vegeta^> Ok
[05:17] <CheshireViking> bobbob1016, i get two columns of choices, left hand one is "Spam", the right hand one is "Management" and its the second one in the management column
[05:17] <nicolah> USMarine, dr_willis can I query one of you ?
[05:17] <dr_willis> nicolah,  vnc is a very flexable system. it depends on exactly HOW you want to 'remote login' I normally just ssh to the linxu box.  start 'vncserver' then use the vncclient to connect to the then running desktop.
[05:17] <USMarine> gerry_ ofc it needs a file system
[05:17] <dr_willis> nicolah,  thats how i perfer to do it.
[05:18] <USMarine> nicolah no
[05:18] <sales> hey guys, On the new version of ubuntu that I installed, I do not see a way to specify the "print queue" when setting up a printer
[05:18] <berent> today strange thing happened. I was chatting on yahoo from kopete. suddenly some stranger pinged me telling i was in a chat room when there is no chance on kopete to enter a yahoo chat room . why does this happen . who does this
[05:18] <bobbob1016> CheshireViking, Spam Options column: Block Addresses, and Block Addresses, Manage column: Mail Addresses, Filters, General Prefs, Signature, Vacation, Announce
[05:18] <dr_willis> nicolah,  i DONT share the 'currently seen kde/gnome' desktop.  i want inddpendant 'virtual' desktops
[05:18] <bobbob1016> CheshireViking, those are in order
[05:18] <nicolah> dr_willis, right now I'm using ubuntu with user_a and I'd like to login with user_b
[05:18] <nicolah> that's what I'd like to do dr_willis
[05:18] <gerry_> mkswap not to build filesystem
[05:18] <kitche> bobbob1016: it's just a bot randomly iming people
[05:18] <kidpunk> how can i load the cd ubuntu
[05:19] <nuked_omen> hi
[05:19] <Mauro22> hi guys
[05:19] <USMarine> kidpunk insert it into the cd drive
[05:19] <kidpunk> it is
[05:19] <nuked_omen> i got a couple of questions
[05:19] <nicolah> I enabled remote-login, but I can I insert username and password in ultravnc ?
[05:19] <CheshireViking> bobbob1016, i get the same, just in the management column, i've got "POP access & forwarding" in  between Mail Address and Filters
[05:19] <kidpunk> nothing pops up
[05:19] <Vegeta^> I have another OS on a different partition with NTFS filesystem, which I want to keep. If I create a partition with NTFS filesystem, will I be able to acces that partition with linux? That is store documents and files in there when using linux?
[05:19] <nicolah> it just ask for ip
[05:19] <dr_willis> nicolah,  you can have 2 X desktops at the same time with Ubuntu/Kubuntu :) OR ya could use vnc for a similer thing.
[05:19] <MerlinZShell> I just moved to fluxbox and i couldnt start any application same thing with Enlighten  had to reboot to come back to gnome any idea how to fix that ?
[05:19] <MerlinZShell> ?
[05:19] <kitche> kidpunk: reboot
[05:19] <arkanabar> kidpunk -- if it's CD, you probably need to reboot.
[05:19] <USMarine> Vegeta^ acccess=read -> yes
[05:19] <kidpunk> \i did so many times it wont load up
[05:19] <bobbob1016> kitche, what is a bot?
[05:19] <dr_willis> nicolah,   i dont enable 'remote desktop' that shares the currently running/seen desktop
[05:19] <bobbob1016> CheshireViking, not sure then
[05:19] <nicolah> remote-desktop disabled- ok
[05:19] <kitche> bobbob1016: an automated thing like ubotu is
[05:20] <sales> do you guys know how to edit the 'print queue' for setting up a printer, in the new ubuntu?
[05:20] <USMarine> MerlinZShell kde is a good one
[05:20] <USMarine> execelent*
[05:20] <berent> today strange thing happened. I was chatting on yahoo from kopete. suddenly some stranger pinged me telling i was in a chat room when there is no chance on kopete to enter a yahoo chat room . why does this happen . who does this
[05:20] <nicolah> dr_willis, remote-login enabled ok
[05:20] <bobbob1016> kitche, I meant who, not what, sorry
[05:20] <arkanabar> bobbob1016, a bot is a program that resides in a chat to automate various tasks.
[05:20] <nuked_omen> when i enable desktop effects, xmms doesn't minimize well, only the main window minimizes, and the playlist and equlizers stay unminimized
[05:20] <kidpunk> so i'm wondering if theres more to it
[05:20] <bobbob1016> arkanabar, I meant who, my bad
[05:20] <kitche> bobbob1016: sorry not to you
[05:20] <arkanabar> kidpunk -- you may have a bad cd
[05:20] <kitche> berent: it's just a bot randomly iming people
[05:20] <MerlinZShell> USMarine:  I just want to use fluxbox used to work fine before
[05:20] <dr_willis> nicolah,  i dont, nor do i need to use that feature of gnome/kde :) i want Indipendant desktops. NOt shareing the current one.
[05:20] <Vegeta^> USMarine: Yea that's what I mean. So if I put in that partition a pdf file while using the other OS, I will be able to read that pdf file when using linux?
[05:20] <USMarine> nuked_omen xmms is the worst choice you could have made as a music player
[05:20] <CheshireViking> bobbob1016, only thing i can think of, is that your account might have been set up after they brought in the webmail plus
[05:20] <tritium> kitche: there's nothign random about it.
[05:20] <MerlinZShell> its just that theres no menue for my proograms
[05:20] <darkstrikerd> what driver should i use to work my vga intel on ubuntu?
[05:20] <tritium> nothing, even
[05:21] <lmnop__> nuked_omen, xmms doesnt use gtk. use listen or rhtyhmbox instead
[05:21] <nicolah> I want indipendent desktop too, I don't want to share the current one
[05:21] <USMarine> MerlinZShell ligher DE have their weaknesses
[05:21] <kitche> tritium: sure it is since I get those ims all the time even on windows
[05:21] <lmnop__> i agree with USMarine on that one
[05:21] <dr_willis> nicolah,  then RUN 'vncserver' :)
[05:21] <berent> kitchie : no it was not a bot .it answered sensibly
[05:21] <luisgmarine> USMarine, you actually a marine or you just some kid that loves the U.S Marines?
[05:21] <lmnop__> the xmms thing
[05:21] <USMarine> Vegeta^ read is possible out of the bo
[05:21] <USMarine> writing needs tweaking
[05:21] <dr_willis> nicolah,  its a command you just type. :)
[05:21] <bobbob1016> might have been, not sure, I know I setup a new yahoomail account in 2000-2001, when I went to spain to email my parents, and I had a yahoo one before that I think
[05:21] <tritium> kitche: surely you're not talking about ubotu
[05:21] <bobbob1016> CheshireViking, might have been, not sure, I know I setup a new yahoomail account in 2000-2001, when I went to spain to email my parents, and I had a yahoo one before that I think
[05:21] <MerlinZShell> USMarine: theres something wrong with the config its not that fluxbox doesnt have a menue
[05:21] <kitche> tritium: umm I was talking about bots not about ubotu
[05:22] <tritium> kitche: okay, then
[05:22] <MerlinZShell> anybody uses fluxbox on ubuntu here
[05:22] <MerlinZShell> ?
[05:22] <Mauro22> ive got a off question, what its better, MB BIOSTAR SAM2 (integrated GFORCE 6100) with an AMD A64 X2 4200+BOX SAM2 and DDR2 2GB /// or a MB BIOSTAR S775 P4M800 PRO with an INTEL PD925 3.0 800MHZ 4M BOX and a Gforce FX5200 128 MB and DDR2 2GB???
[05:22] <kitche> berent: I can write a aim bot that talks sensibly but usually they just look around and find a screen name
[05:22] <USMarine> MerlinZShell tryb #fluxbox
[05:22] <CheshireViking> bobbob1016, i don't know when miune was set up, but probably was before that date

[05:22] <CheshireViking> bobbob1016, sorry i can't help anymore
[05:23] <dan_> Hello I'm installing Edubuntu and it is not recognizing the mouse
[05:23] <MerlinZShell> thank you USMarine I've always said Marines are the best :)
[05:23] <bobbob1016> CheshireViking, no problem
[05:23] <bobbob1016> CheshireViking, thanks for trying
[05:23] <dan_>  I can click but I can't move the pointer
[05:23] <USMarine> Mauro22 i'd rather have the AMD
[05:23] <dan_> can anyone help?
[05:23] <USMarine> MerlinZShell :)
[05:23] <USMarine> dan_ try xenv
[05:23] <USMarine> and see if it's getting the events
[05:23] <bobbob1016> dan_, you sure the mouse itself works?
[05:24] <Mauro22> its for Autocad 2007 and 3D studio
[05:24] <dan_> bobbob1016: Well the serial didn't work
[05:24] <MerlinZShell> are you a USMarine or just a fan ?
[05:24] <dan_> bobbob1016: I think this should
[05:24] <nicolah> USMarine, now I ran vncserver, and I got New 'X' desktop is nicola-desktop:1   the ip of the pc running ubuntu is 192.168.1.33 what host should I put in the windows vnc viewer ?
[05:24] <nicolah> (to remote-login)
[05:24] <USMarine> oh wait
[05:24] <arkanabar> anyone know why GRUB would load when I boot from LiveCD & choose "Boot from main HD" but not when I just boot from main HD?
[05:24] <dan_> USMarine: xenv is not installed
[05:24] <CheshireViking> bobbob1016, no probs
[05:24] <USMarine> integrated gprahic cards suck
[05:24] <USMarine> get the other 1
[05:24] <RAH66> does macromedia products work in feisty?
[05:25] <dan_> bobbob1016: And It CAN click
[05:25] <bobbob1016> dan_, I'm just saying that if you can click, it makes sense that there is something with the mouse, not edubuntu
[05:25] <USMarine> RAH66 flash player does
[05:25] <RAH66> cool and dreamweaver?
[05:25] <USMarine> no
[05:25] <dan_> bobbob1016: can I poll the PS2 port to find out if it's getting any signals?
[05:25] <kitche> berent: you can also talk though a bot also, if it allows user interaction, mirc scripts tend to be like this
[05:25] <RAH66> that means Im keeping xp
[05:26] <oystean> hello
[05:26] <Mauro22> USmarine doyou mean the AMD and buy the Gforce card or the pentium ??
[05:26] <bobbob1016> dan_, I don't know how really, but since you can click, it is getting signals
[05:26] <nicolah> evrytime someone start helping me with remote-login then he quits ... so I didn't accomplish yet. anyone there ? thanks
[05:26] <bobbob1016> RAH66, you can always dual-boot
[05:26] <RAH66> and I heard photoshop can work with some funny code and stuff
[05:26] <dan_> USMarine: hello?
[05:26] <RAH66> yeah Im gona use wubi
[05:26] <Ix0s> RAH66, NVU is a very good alternate to Dreamweaver
[05:26] <USMarine> Mauro22 get a board without integrated graphics card
[05:26] <USMarine> dan_ yeah?
[05:26] <arkanabar> RAH66 -- try the GIMP instead of photoshop
[05:27] <bagbiter> uhm if one has an API mismatch caused by nvidia, one had to disable something by editing a file.. but i cant remember what it was. can anyone help me_
[05:27] <dan_> USMarine: Can I poll the ps2 port to find out what's wrong?
[05:27] <dan_>  xenv isn't installed
[05:27] <RAH66> NVU ok Ill check
[05:27] <USMarine> poll?
[05:27] <RAH66> Ive used gimp dont like it
[05:27] <bobbob1016> RAH66, the wubi install is a bit slower, since it is a virtual file-system, a small file on your XP drive
[05:27] <Ix0s> RAH66, Gimp-photoshop?
[05:27] <dan_> USMarine: So that when I move the mouse I can see if it generates signals
[05:27] <USMarine> install it then
[05:27] <justdave> I want to net-install from a local repository, is there an easy way to get a repo with only one architecture/version of Ubuntu in it?  rsyncing from a mirror pulls every arch by the look of it, and the installer doesn't seem to like a network-mounted installer CD as a source
[05:27] <RAH66> u get gimp-photoshop?
[05:28] <justdave> filtering the mirror rsync for just one arch looks like it'll need a complicated include/exclude list for the rsync
[05:28] <lmnop__> RAH66, you just have to get used to the gimp, i guess
[05:29] <RAH66> not yet Im really good with photoshop and gimp by the looks of things is gona take long to get used to
[05:30] <RAH66> but xp makes me crazy so yeah Ill work on it
[05:30] <arkanabar> RAH66 -- perhaps.  GIMP is like photoshop the way a diesel is like a wankel rotary engine ;)
[05:30] <nuked_omen> xmms is simple and elegant and looks like winamp
[05:30] <kvidell> well that's a new one to highlight on
[05:30] <RAH66> I dont even wana look at vista
[05:30] <kvidell> usually it's "liKELy"
[05:30] <kvidell> (I go by Kel on another network)
[05:30] <kvidell> wanKEL is kinda cool
[05:30] <jdowdle> vista..ugh
[05:30] <RAH66> yeah
[05:30] <nicolah> I need some help with XDCMP (remote login) thanks
[05:31] <RAH66> does any 1 here use beryl?

[05:48] <LjL> Yggdrasil: well the rest kind of looks sane though - yeah, change the uuid, and the swap partition's one too
[05:48] <dr_willis> djwilcox,  may need to tell vlc to use oss. or alsa, or some similer setting/ ive never had issues with vlc and sound.
[05:48] <djwilcox> installed vlc-alsa doesnt work
[05:48] <Yggdrasil> LJL ok i dint know about blk.
[05:48] <Yggdrasil> uh whatever the cmd is, i was confused on where it was pulling that nubmer out of
[05:48] <Yggdrasil> that id
[05:49] <djwilcox> yer tried alsa oss still no joy
[05:49] <|uLt|m01> Salve ragazzi, qualcuno di voi hai mai sincronizzato un LG u8330 con evolution ?
[05:49] <LjL> !it
[05:49] <ubotu> Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[05:49] <nojoints> I get an error when I run dpkg --configure -a            Well not an error but an program I tried install earlier (flash) and it stops at OK ....... after that nothing happens, when I try to connect to Adobe's webpage it's very slow, aswell when I try to download it to install manually
[05:49] <roboa> hello hello
[05:49] <nicolah> dr_willis, can I query you about remote-login with xdmcp ? you helped me ten minutes ago then quitted. and now I'm stuck
[05:49] <djwilcox> sound only comes out the computer and not my usb soundsticks
[05:49] <|uLt|m01> ops :)
[05:49] <|uLt|m01> thank's
[05:49] <Taladan> I got the fix to my firefox/audio problem, btw.
[05:50] <LjL> Yggdrasil, those numbers are calculated in magical ways :P seriously, i'm not quite sure how they're obtained, but they're created by an algorithm that does its best to assign unique - and stable - numbers to partitions
[05:50] <LjL> !uuid > Yggdrasil    (Yggdrasil, see the private message from Ubotu)
[05:50] <roboa> i just uploaded 7.04 and fixed all the bugs except one... i can't hibernate. does anyone have any idea?
[05:50] <irun2win> !firewall
[05:50] <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).
[05:50] <nicolah> Taladan, alsa/flash9 and amd64 ?
[05:50] <nicolah> -reboot-
[05:50] <Yggdrasil> LjL well, its amazing that it even booted
[05:50] <Yggdrasil> haha
[05:50] <evilofisho> Oh well, off to consult google again.
[05:51] <Yggdrasil> LjL thanks.
[05:51] <shirish> Yggdrasil: things happening cool?
[05:51] <r3m0t> will grub (installed on MBR) still work after removing all my Ubuntu partitions?
[05:51] <Yggdrasil> shirish yea, just um. dealign with a few things.
[05:51] <irun2win> !find tuber
[05:51] <Yggdrasil> usplash ...
[05:51] <ubotu> Found: ktuberling
[05:51] <LjL> r3m0t: no
[05:51] <Yggdrasil> evolutions was a bit wierd too...
[05:52] <shirish> Yggdrasil: what do u mean dealign with a few things?
[05:52] <r3m0t> LjL: then how can I restore a Windows (XP) bootloader? or maybe I should leave a very small non-windows partition and be done with it?
[05:52] <roboa> has anyone had any hibernate or problems with shutting down too?
[05:52] <Yggdrasil> shirish well you know i did a reinstall ?
[05:52] <shirish> Yggdrasil: ah yes, you were talking about this yesterday
[05:52] <djwilcox> can totem play vcd's

[05:52] <LjL> r3m0t, you can use a Windows CD. boot it, go to console mode, and then "fixmbr" or something
[05:52] <Yggdrasil> shirish, i did a reinstall without a cd, that was kind of cool
[05:53] <sorsis> what is recommended firewall app?
[05:53] <irun2win> Hi Hobbsee
[05:53] <r3m0t> LjL: no windows CD over here :) isn't it just a kilobyte or two? can't I get it any other way?

[05:53] <shirish> Yggdrasil: that's cool, have u written a howto about it or notes somewhere?
[05:53] <LjL> r3m0t: by leaving a very small partition as you said.
[05:53] <Yggdrasil> it was on the ubuntu intallation how tos allready
[05:53] <r3m0t> LjL: OK, I'll do that. thanks
[05:53] <sorsis> irun2win: ty
[05:53] <LjL> r3m0t: if you just keep what is in the /boot directory, it should work
[05:53] <navets> how do you set up svideo on linux?
[05:53] <irun2win> sorsis: You are welcome
[05:54] <shirish> Yggdrasil: link please, I would like to see that
[05:54] <gglser> hi, how can I find out if I am currently using a 64 bit or 32 bit version of ubuntu?????
[05:54] <ethereality> Where are other partitions mounted by default? (I'm trying to access my Windows partition.) I thought it was /mnt?
[05:54] <gglser> cant find it anywhere

[05:54] <LjL> ethereality: no, it's /media
[05:55] <Wicks> lo all - anyone have any idea why when i plug my usb mouse into my laptop with feisty - the numlock comes on and i cant turn it off? (making laptop typing impossible)
[05:55] <ethereality> Oh, thanks ...
[05:55] <gglser> hymntolife, usser, crimsun: thanks!
[05:55] <Hobbsee> hi irun2win
[05:55] <LjL> ethereality: /mnt is mostly for remote filesystems
[05:55] <ethereality> oh ...
[05:55] <ethereality> um ... well, all that's in /media is my external hard drive and cdrom and cdrom0
[05:55] <ethereality> is that not cool?
[05:55] <Yggdrasil> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux
[05:56] <ethereality> i don't see disk or disk-1 (my C and D drives) like i did from the live disc...
[05:56] <gglser> hymntolife, usser, crimsun: hmm one says i686, one says i386. do I have 64 or 32 bit???
[05:56] <LjL> ethereality: they just didn't get autodetected i suppose, add them manually to the fstab
[05:56] <LjL> !ntfs > ethereality    (ethereality, see the private message from Ubotu)
[05:56] <ethereality> thanks (goes to read)
[05:56] <tideline> gglser: you have 32 bit
[05:57] <LjL> ethereality: although... you haven't selected the "wipe entire drive" option when installing, have you? =)
[05:57] <gglser> tideline: ok. how did you find out?
[05:57] <tideline> well iX86 are 32 bit processors
[05:57] <Luft> hi, I need to patch my kernel to get my modem working. What packages do I need?
[05:57] <LjL> ethereality: do a "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda" (assuming sda is your drive) to see what partitions are listed in the partition table
[05:57] <tideline> gglser if you have 64 bit it will be x86_64
[05:58] <LjL> !modem > Luft    (Luft, see the private message from Ubotu)
[05:58] <gglser> tideline: roger that
[05:58] <ethereality> no... i used GParted to resize the C drive and left 11 GB unallocated, unmounted/unplugged my ext. hard drive, then told it to use the largest amount of continuous free space
[05:58] <ethereality> (which i assumed would then be that 11 GB)
[05:58] <LjL> ethereality: it should be
[05:58] <Yggdrasil> LJL
[05:58] <ethereality> oh, and the grub menu also still lists my windows as an option for booting.
[05:58] <ethereality> :)
[05:59] <Yggdrasil> on that fstab the drives are listed as hda, and on the mntblock cmd they are sda, should i change them to sda ?
[05:59] <ethereality> but why didn't it autodetect :(
[05:59] <LjL> Yggdrasil, they're not listed as hda. look carefully, all the lines mentioning "hda" start with #, i.e. are comments
[05:59] <alencar> good afternoon guys, i need a hand here with nis/nfs on kubuntu
[05:59] <Yggdrasil> ahh yes
[05:59] <LjL> Yggdrasil: that's one of the core reasons behind the use of UUIDs - make the transition from hda to sda invisible
[05:59] <alencar> someone?
[06:00] <gglser> when I try to install TRANSMISSION, and I run the ./configure command I get this: Could not find a working compiler
[06:00] <Yggdrasil> LjL probobly for sata huh
[06:00] <Yggdrasil> i see
[06:00] <gglser> what could be the problem?
[06:00] <LjL> Yggdrasil: you can change them if you want of course, for clarity, but the system doesn't care
[06:00] <LjL> !build-essential > gglser    (gglser, see the private message from Ubotu)
[06:00] <alencar> well, i have nfs/nis configurated at my servers and stations

[06:00] <LjL> weas3l, the problem being? if the native Nautilus browser fails, you can still mount them

[06:01] <alencar> i install the system on a machine, but
[06:01] <gglser> tideline: i have feisty
[06:01] <skylight> how do i edit the clock in gnome
[06:01] <gglser> LjL: allright
[06:01] <alencar> when a i log in another, i can't acess some groups as floppy, cdrom, audio, video, etc

[06:02] <skylight> elseif
[06:02] <skylight> try

[06:02] <Yggdrasil> LJL here goes the reboot
[06:02] <LjL> weas3l: oh, i suppose that might not have built-in support for shares... just mount it somewhere and then browse
[06:02] <weas3l> and i'm not sure i just want to have it mounted, unless it does the same as just browsing thru my system to it.

[06:02] <LjL> Yggdrasil: make sure you've got a live CD just in case...
[06:02] <skylight> else

[06:03] <LjL> weas3l: well it's not entirely the same thing. having it mounted makes it like a local filesystem - which is a good thing for some things, but means you have to set up permissions, etc. also, if you lose connection, in my experience things are likely to lock up
[06:03] <skylight> apt-get install program
[06:03] <gglser> tideline: E: Couldn't find package transmission... what repositories do i need to add?
[06:03] <weas3l> i don't have a problem with my connection dropping between the boxes, so that may be a better option.
[06:03] <BadWeather> Hi, can anybody help me to setup my atheros wlan-card ? ... Thanks a lot ;)
 = is it an ethernet
[06:04] <Yggdrasil> badweather should jsut work
[06:04] <BadWeather> already tried the wiki guide but it didnt work out
[06:04] <Yggdrasil> i think he means wireles. wlan
[06:04] <BadWeather> its detected as wlan0 but there is no ath0 .. :(
[06:04] <skylight> oh
[06:04] <ethereality> huh. it was mounted already in /media/disk after all
[06:05] <ethereality> but it was hidden from me when i went into the media folder??
[06:05] <LjL> weas3l: making the mount automatic in fstab is also a bit less then trivial. but for starters, try "sudo mount -t cifs //computername/sharename /mnt/share -o username someone", where /mnt/share must exist and someone must be a valid user on the Windows machine (if the shares are not by user, take that part away)
[06:05] <ethereality> and it made me log in as admin to see it
[06:05] <ethereality> weird.
[06:05] <ethereality> are folders hidden in Ubuntu?
[06:05] <Yggdrasil> LjL Not booting
[06:05] <Yggdrasil> :(haha
[06:05] <rickest> should I install automatix AND automatix2, or just automatix2?
[06:05] <skylight> i got desktop icons, but how do i install icons for applications, like a mac osx icons
[06:05] <BadWeather> skylight: anything else i can do ;) ?
[06:06] <gglser> tideline: what repositories should I add? apt-get transmission wont work
[06:06] <LjL> rickest: what about neither?
[06:06] <LjL> !automatix > rickest    (rickest, see the private message from Ubotu)
[06:06] <skylight> lol im not the best at the wireless
[06:06] <tideline> gg did you get build essentials?
[06:06] <skylight> so buddy sorry dont know
[06:06] <BadWeather> hm :(
[06:06] <defrysk> gglser, apt-get install blah
[06:06] <Renan_s2> problem: network-manager is overwriting my DNS settings every reboot; how can I fix it?
[06:06] <LjL> gglser: i think i've missed the part where "transmission" is available as a package
[06:06] <defrysk> gglser, otherwise get the latest transmission from getdeb.net
 good luck though
[06:07] <tideline> transmission isn't avialable as a package
[06:07] <skylight> i got desktop icons, but how do i install icons for applications, like a mac osx icons
[06:07] <dr_willis> Renan_s2,  ive seen that issue befor. but dont rember the fix. Its proberly detailed in the forums. I think it was some service doing it.
[06:07] <LjL> Yggdrasil: yet it booted with that fstab you pasted?
[06:07] <defrysk> tideline, its available as a package on getdeb.net
[06:07] <gglser> LjL defrysk : sudo apt-get transmission E: Invalid operation transmission
[06:07] <Renan_s2> OK

[06:07] <defrysk> gglser, try getdeb.net
[06:07] <tideline> gglser: i thought you were trying to build it from source
[06:07] <LjL> gglser: also, it's "sudo apt-get install <package>", not "sudo apt-get <package>"
[06:08] <aro> Not only is there no transmission package, but you aren't using apt-get properly
[06:08] <alencar> someone could help with kubuntu problem related to nfs/nis?
[06:08] <aro> #kubuntu
[06:08] <gglser> LjL: sorry read it wrong, thought you said there was
[06:08] <defrysk> alencar, /j #kubuntu
[06:08] <gglser> tideline: I was, but I was getting an error when running .configure
[06:08] <LjL> gglser: well, as others are saying, there might be one on getdeb.net (which is, however, entirely unsupported)
[06:08] <LjL> gglser: the error during configure is why you should install "build-essential"
[06:08] <tideline> gglser: you need to do sudo apt-get install build-essentials
[06:08] <LjL> essential.
[06:09] <gglser> defrysk, LjL: yep found it on getdeb
[06:09] <defrysk> gglser, the package of transmission is as a ubuntu .deb package avaialble at getdeb.net
[06:09] <tideline> then follow the ./configure make make install process
[06:09] <funkmaster> anyone can tell me how to get twisted 2.4 on feisty?
[06:09] <defrysk> gglser, good :)
[06:09] <gglser> defrysk: :-)
[06:09] <defrysk> gglser, klick the downloadlink and let gdebi install it
[06:09] <dr_willis> gglser,  also check out the 'autopackage' and  i think theres an other way that may have it. :)
[06:10] <tideline> LjL is right it is essential - no s on the end
[06:10] <defrysk> dr_willis, autopackage is evil
[06:10] <gglser> dr_willis: autopackage?
[06:10] <Yggdrasil> LjL all good
[06:10] <defrysk> gglser, forget autopackage

[06:11] <dr_willis> what was that OTHEr way ive seen stuff isntalled on a per user basic.. klick? click?
[06:11] <dr_willis> none of those alternatives are very well done from what ive used of them.
[06:11] <gglser> defrysk, LjL: installing sudo dpkg -i transmission_0.72-0~getdeb1_i386.deb cross your fingers. lol
[06:12] <gglser> defrysk, LjL: wow got an error
[06:12] <defrysk> gglser, works like a charm ;)
[06:12] <defrysk> gglser, you should let gdebi install it
[06:12] <LjL> gglser: dpkg doesn't handle dependencies
[06:12] <defrysk> gdebi also resolves the deps
[06:12] <gglser> defrysk, LjL:  Package libevent1 is not installed.
[06:12] <LjL> gglser: then install it. or use the darn gdebi
[06:13] <alencar> thanks defrysk
[06:13] <dr_willis> heh, or rant about dependncie hell!~ :0

[06:13] <defrysk> not feisty I bet ?

[06:14] <LjL> Yggdrasil: complained like what..
[06:14] <Yggdrasil> like, tryign tofsck it but telling me to do it manualy.
[06:14] <defrysk> gglser, if you click the link in firefox you can choose beteween gdebi or download, select gdebi
[06:14] <LjL> Yggdrasil: is there any reason why that partition might be horrendously corrupted?
[06:14] <Yggdrasil> no
[06:14] <defrysk> gglser, and let gdebi handle it
[06:14] <Yggdrasil> ill figure it out
[06:15] <Yggdrasil> its not even the /
[06:15] <Yggdrasil> but so brb
[06:15] <LjL> Yggdrasil: i think the numbers have changed from the old fstab to the current ones
[06:15] <Yggdrasil> how so ?
[06:16] <gglser> defrysk: feisty fawn is new version right?
[06:16] <defrysk> gglser, correct
[06:16] <LjL> Yggdrasil: well, what blkid calls sda5 has an id startin with "ada44b07", but that was hda6's id in the older fstab

[06:24] <jl> hi everybody i have a problem with youtube videos its seems that audio video are out of sync is this a flash or firefox or feisty problem?
[06:24] <Megaqwerty> wedontneed: no, we can't but there is a way to install them
[06:25] <defrysk> wedontneed, just bouble click it in nautilus to unpack
[06:25] <dr_willis> kbj,  vnc is one of those tools that can be tweaked and twiddled to do amazing things.
[06:25] <vmlemon> I've tried 3 different DVD Video discs, and all of them produce the same error, and do not play or mount
[06:25] <defrysk> double*
[06:25] <Megaqwerty> wedontneed: you need to install alien to convert it to a .deb (I'm assuming you want to install it)
[06:25] <wedontneed> Megaqwerty: how can i install them i have to install a pack?
[06:25] <Pieter_> guys, how do i play .rmvb files?
[06:25] <wedontneed> Megaqwerty: tyvm
[06:25] <dr_willis> kbj,   vncserver -geometry <width>x<height>
[06:25] <Megaqwerty> wedontneed: you're welcome
[06:25] <defrysk> Pieter_, try vlc
[06:25] <dr_willis> bbl lunch
[06:25] <LjL> Yggdrasil: so, sda2 is root, and 5 and 6 are two misc partitions of yours, correct?
[06:25] <jl> how can i solve this?
[06:25] <defrysk> vlc plays anything
[06:26] <Pieter_> defrysk, is that a player?
[06:26] <defrysk> yes
[06:26] <Pieter_> ok i will try it
[06:26] <defrysk> good luck
[06:26] <Pieter_> dank!
[06:26] <wedontneed> Megaqwerty: is pack name is alien?
[06:26] <defrysk> time to walk the dog
[06:26] <Yggdrasil> Ljl no, sda5 is root and sda2 and 6 are misc partitions
[06:26] <Megaqwerty> wedontneed: yes
[06:26] <defrysk> Pieter_, yw ;)
[06:26] <Pieter_> be sure to scoop up the poop;)
[06:26] <LjL> Yggdrasil: ugh, you have root in an extended partition?
[06:27] <Yggdrasil> LJl , i had to
[06:27] <Megaqwerty> wedontneed: however, conversion from .rpm doesn't always work perfectly, so it is slightly dangerous to try, I'll have ubotu explain it.
[06:27] <Megaqwerty> !rpm
[06:27] <Yggdrasil> it was originaly a windows parition on sda2
[06:27] <Megaqwerty> !rpm | wedontneed
[06:27] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[06:27] <ubotu> wedontneed: please see above
[06:27] <jl> its seems i am the only one with this problem
[06:28] <LjL> Yggdrasil: well i dunno, aside from the weird partitioning scheme, the fstab looks right to me
[06:28] <Yggdrasil> brb
[06:28] <Megaqwerty> jl: what problem?

[06:28] <kbj> dr_willis: I dont think im running a vnc server, I just enabled remote desktop in ubuntu and log onto my machine with VNC from my win desktop
[06:28] <nicolah> dr_willis, to remote-login with XDMCP do I need to install the nx server in the ubuntu pc ? (I already installed nx client on the windows pc)
[06:28] <wedontneed> ubotu: ty i ll keep it in my mind

[06:45] <michup> defrysk: and my dvd player will work fine?
[06:45] <ErichOwens85> Who can I ask here for help with recognizing my external hard drive on Feisty Fawn?
[06:45] <defrysk> michup, sure
[06:46] <kitche> pliz: a basic computer book doesn't have to be a ubuntu book for the basics
[06:46] <rm130> Hello?
[06:46] <crm__> HEY!!!
[06:46] <_Codeman_> anyone?
[06:47] <crm__> anyone using a DELL 51XX???
[06:47] <Silver_Seagull> ErichOwens85: Have you tried powering it down, then starting it up while the OS is up and running?  I found I had to do it like that the first time- 7.04 did not recognize it on boot.
[06:47] <pliz> kitche, yup - but has to be a LINUX book
[06:47] <preaction> !anyone | crm__
[06:47] <ubotu> crm__: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[06:47] <rm130> kitche: you there?
[06:47] <crm__> preaction, which one?
[06:47] <kitche> rm130: can't help you really unless you grab the binary off of suns site for the full j2re
[06:47] <pliz> kitche, do you know such a book? all I know tell about windows as an inherent part
[06:47] <kitche> pliz: umm there isn't a book for that really but maybe the ubuntu book might be it
[06:47] <ErichOwens85> At least, does someone know where I may find information about external hard drives for Ubuntu?
[06:48] <_Codeman_> anyone was my 2nd question!
[06:48] <rm130> kitche: I did find the binary. but it's not .deb..
[06:48] <ErichOwens85> I plug it in and it's not recognized at all.
[06:48] <Silver_Seagull> ErichOwens85: Have you tried powering the external drive down, then starting it up while the OS is up and running? I found I had to do it like that the first time- 7.04 did not recognize it on boot.
[06:48] <ErichOwens85> Ooh.
[06:48] <preaction> crm__: ask your real question. "anyone using X" doesn't work to get your question answered around these parts
[06:48] <kitche> rm130: yeah you have to manually install it or wait for the mirrors to be fixed
[06:48] <ErichOwens85> Also, Ubuntu is having problems with my sound-- randomly gaim will cause a sound to stutter almost again and again, until I close GAIM and reboot.
[06:48] <rm130> kitche: could you help me install it?
[06:48] <ErichOwens85> Silver_Seagull: Thanks, i will try that.
[06:48] <pliz> kitche, is it the one I see in system->help and support? seems not what I am asking for - it is not basic - assumes a lot of knowledge
[06:48] <rm130> I really need to get this working
[06:49] <klausi> anyone using a wlan usb stick with ubuntu?
[06:49] <_Codeman_> Hey, I'm using kde and it seems to change the way xchat is displayed... is there any way to undo that?
[06:49] <kitche> pliz: no there is a book a soft covered book about ubuntu it might be hard covered never looked at it really
[06:49] <ShadowX^> raiden coscript
[06:49] <Silver_Seagull> ErichOwens85: Try updating "Gaim" to the latest version.  It was renamed "Pidgin" in the latest (2.0.0) release
[06:49] <vfx> I have some questions about external drive installation
[06:49] <nicolah> is it possible to remote-login (I'm talking about opening a new gdm session) from a windows pc to ubuntu ? thanks
[06:49] <pliz> kitche, I have spend some time looking for such book for my parents, but no luck. Linux could win a lot if things like that were around
[06:49] <pliz> kitche, do you remember the author?
[06:50] <ShadowX^> no nicolah
[06:50] <crm__> ok.. i'll try to be a bit more specific preaction ala anal boy.. "does anyone own a laptop with a radeon mobility 7500 video card"?
[06:50] <ShadowX^> impossible
[06:50] <sef_> do I have to do anything other than create a .procmailrc in my home directory to make procmail work?
[06:50] <kitche> pliz: it might be on the ubuntu site still
[06:50] <sef_> do I have to do anything other than create a .procmailrc in my home directory to make procmail work?
[06:50] <sef_> do I have to do anything other than create a .procmailrc in my home directory to make procmail work?
[06:50] <sef_> do I have to do anything other than create a .procmailrc in my home directory to make procmail work?
[06:50] <nicolah> thanks ShadowX^ , someone here told me it was possible
[06:50] <ShadowX^> really?
[06:50] <preaction> crm__: that's still an "anyone" question. what issue are you having with that card? what do you want to do with it that it's not doing right now?
[06:50] <preaction> !repeat | sef_
[06:50] <ubotu> sef_: 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
[06:51] <sef_> sorry about that.. damn client stopped echoing
[06:51] <kitche> pliz: the book is caleld The Official book of Ubuntu
[06:51] <sef_> so I couldn't see if I'd said anything
[06:52] <ErichOwens85> Silver_Seagull: Do I use the Source or the Fedora Core version of Pidgin for Ubuntu?
[06:52] <rm130> can someone help me install java plugin for firefox
[06:52] <pliz> kitche, thanks a lot!
[06:52] <vfx> I have formatted an external 720GB drive that shows as 70GB in /media/, any ideas why?
[06:52] <ShadowX^> !patience
[06:52] <ubotu> The people here are volunteers, your attitude may determine how fast you are helped.  Not everyone is available all the time, likewise not every answer is available instantly. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[06:53] <crm__> lol.. 720
[06:53] <vfx> yep
[06:53] <crm__> yea.. this is a bit of a gay .. help yourself .. channel
[06:53] <crm__> and anal boy isn't helping
[06:53] <ShadowX^> :/
[06:54] <ErichOwens85> Hello friends;  does anyone have any other tips of obvious things I might've missed in trying to get Feisty Fawn to recognize my External Hard Drive?
[06:54] <vfx> after more coffee they become 750GB drives
[06:54] <vfx> sorry
[06:54] <preaction> crm__: the ad hominem attacks are going to get your question answered even more quickly, if you'd just ask it
[06:54] <ErichOwens85> Incidentally, I'm not entirely sure that my computer recognizes my USB ports...
[06:54] <preaction> crm__: oh, and watch your language. this is a family-friendly channel
[06:54] <sef_> Apeezee: sorry.. had connection problems.. did you get the output for me?
[06:54] <PihI> Hi! Has Ubuntu stopped updates to Non-Intel Macs? I can only find it in the 6.06 version ..
[06:55] <kitche> PihI: ppc support is community support now
[06:55] <preaction> PihI: yes, the last PPC release was Edgy
[06:55] <Silver_Seagull> ErichOwens85: I believe there is a 7.04 build in the repositories.  Go into a terminal and apt-get pidgin
[06:55] <kitche> !ppc | PihI
[06:55] <ubotu> PihI: 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
[06:55] <crm__> preaction, i thought my question was clean.. i was asking if "anyone" knew the answer to my question
[06:55] <sldkfj> Is there a package I can (re)install to make the screen stop blanking when it goes into screensaver mode?
[06:55] <PihI> Ah okay, thanks for your answers
[06:55] <rm130> can someone help me install java plugin for firefox
[06:56] <crm__> preaction, this is IRC.. not a court of law
[06:56] <Silver_Seagull> crm__: asking if anyone has the card is not a problem question.  Asking if anyone has a problem with corrupted screen edges on a 7500 radeon is a problem question.
[06:57] <ErichOwens85> Silver_Seagull: How do I open up my repositories to that available online?  The universal, I think it's called.  Sorry, real new to Linux.
[06:57] <sldkfj> rm130    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java
[06:57] <Kr0ntab> !repos | ErichOwens85
[06:57] <ubotu> ErichOwens85: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[06:57] <crm__> Silver_Seagull, i haven't installed ubuntu.  I'm considering based on the support and feedback
[06:58] <ErichOwens85> ubotu: Thanks, I will check that out.
[06:58] <ErichOwens85> Kr0ntab: I'm sorry?
[06:58] <Silver_Seagull> crm__: Then what is your question?
[06:58] <preaction> crm__: so you want to know how well-supported your card is?
[06:58] <Silver_Seagull> ErichOwens85: Kr0ntab was directing the bot to tell you where to look ;)
[06:58] <Knoeki> question: can I read partitions formatted by OSX in Ubuntu?
[06:58] <Kr0ntab> ErichOwens85, you were asking about repositories... :-)  check the answer from ubotu
[06:59] <Silver_Seagull> He types faster than me.  Spoilsport
[06:59] <nolan__> does anyone know how to paste files into locked folders?
[06:59] <Silver_Seagull> ;)
[06:59] <crm__> Silver_Seagull, I was asking if anyone was using ubuntu with a mobility radeon 7500 video card installed.  More specifically so i could determine if the distro supported direct rendering for that card
[06:59] <preaction> crm__: that second bit, that's your real question that we want
[06:59] <kitche> nolan__: sudo cp file <dest>
[06:59] <Kr0ntab> :-P
[06:59] <sldkfj> I've got the entries in the serverflags section on the Xorg.conf to make the screen stop blanking but it doesn't work?
[06:59] <nolan__> i don't mean to sound like an idoit, but do i type that into the terminal?
[07:00] <kitche> !terminal | nolan__
[07:00] <ubotu> nolan__: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[07:00] <ErichOwens85> Haha, thanks.
[07:00] <savetheWorld> nolan__: yes
[07:01] <ErichOwens85> What is the synax for apt-get in the terminal?
[07:01] <ErichOwens85> I tried "apt-get pidgin" but it yelled at me.
[07:01] <nolan__> lol thanks savetheWorld
[07:01] <nolan__> i am new to ubuntu
[07:01] <nolan__> my first week
[07:01] <kitche> ErichOwens85: there is no pidgin in Ubuntu well int he repos unless they added it
[07:01] <Kr0ntab> nolan__, welcome.  :-)
[07:01] <savetheWorld> nolan__: you are also probably  new to Linux. :-)
[07:01] <_Codeman_> ErichOwens85: sudo apt-get install pidgin
[07:02] <kitche> ErichOwens85: but it's sudo apt-get install to install remove to remove
[07:02] <ErichOwens85> kitche: Ah, so I'm stuck with GAIM then.  No worries.
[07:02] <nolan__> savetheWorld, besides knoppix, yes
[07:02] <_Codeman_> if it's in there
[07:02] <kitche> ErichOwens85: last tiem I checked it's not in the repos but they might have a package on their site
[07:02] <HOT> is pidgin worth getting over gaim 6 beta?
[07:02] <Kr0ntab> nolan__, you might want to also look up *nix "permissions", and "sudo".  This will help you tremendously.
[07:03] <ErichOwens85> kitche: Naw, Pidgin only shows up on their site for Fedora.  No worries.  Perhaps you can tell me how to make Feisty Fawn detect my External Hard Drive though. :)
[07:03] <rm130> sldkfj: Are you there?
[07:03] <preaction> crm__: from http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Hardware, the earliest radeon mobility supported by ATI's proprietary linux driver is the 9500
[07:03] <_Codeman_> ErichOwens85: try to find a .deb or debian package on the pidgin site :)
[07:03] <sldkfj> yeah
[07:03] <kitche> HOT: yea pidgin has more protocols among other things
[07:03] <rm130> the site does not tell me HOW TO INSTALL java plugin on firefox
[07:03] <nolan__> okay, thanks thanks Kr0ntab
[07:03] <HOT> kitche: interesting, i might check it out
[07:03] <crm__> preaction, that's the glrx driver.. binary stuff.. non-free
[07:04] <Kr0ntab> !permissions | nolan__
[07:04] <ubotu> nolan__: 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
[07:04] <Kr0ntab> thats a good start..
[07:04] <kitche> ErichOwens85: umm sure what kind of hard drive is it usb or firewire?
[07:04] <ErichOwens85> kitche: USB
[07:04] <_Codeman_> ErichOwens85: You might see if it shows up in lspci (donno if it would, I assume it's usb...)
[07:04] <kitche> _Codeman_: nah it would be lsusb
[07:04] <preaction> crm__: the free-software "radeon" driver has sketchy support at best
[07:05] <_Codeman_> oh yeah
[07:05] <crm__> preaction, i've noticed =)
[07:05] <rm130> Can somone help me install java plugin for mozilla?????
[07:05] <sef_> I have a .procmailrc in my home directory, but it's not filtering email.  Is there anything else I need to do to make it work?
[07:05] <Silver_Seagull> crm__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI  According to that, your card falls under the cards with  "maybe" support for 2D nd 3D support from the default drivers.
[07:05] <nolan__> all i am trying to do install "safe peer" in azerus
[07:05] <ErichOwens85> _Codeman_: kitche:  So, I did lsusb and I got the following:  Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
[07:05] <ErichOwens85> Bus 001 Device 002: ID 05ca:1810 Ricoh Co., Ltd
[07:05] <ErichOwens85> Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
[07:05] <nolan__> and i need to paste the plugin in a locked folder
[07:05] <kitche> ErichOwens85: ok see if your kernel sees it by opening a terminal and type sudo dmesg shoudl say sda something if it sees it
[07:05] <Yggdrasil> LjL u around ?
[07:05] <rm130> Can somone help me install java plugin for mozilla????
[07:05] <crm__> Silver_Seagull, i would have read that article
[07:06] <rm130> Can somone help me install java plugin for mozilla????
[07:06] <Kr0ntab> !java | rm130
[07:06] <ubotu> rm130: 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
[07:06] <crm__> Silver_Seagull, the only reason i am here and asking is because someone in the ubuntu forums have got it working with direct rendering =)
[07:06] <ErichOwens85> kitche: I typed that, and it spit out a lot of crap to me.
[07:06] <HOT> rm130: chill man, patience is a virtue
[07:06] <sldkfj> rm130, did you go to the firefox website for plugins?  they should have the info to install java in linux there.
[07:06] <HOT> im trying to get a walkthrough now
[07:06] <kitche> Kr0ntab: the mirrors are broken for the plugin
[07:06] <crm__> Silver_Seagull, but i think that is based on the library configurations and not the distro
[07:07] <_Codeman_> kitche: isn't that assuming it's the first/only drive?
[07:07] <Kr0ntab> oh?
[07:07] <sldkfj> rm130,   http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/linux.html#Java
[07:07] <Kr0ntab> when did this happen?

[07:07] <netmon> Im trying to setup a triple boot system, I have everything installed but I need to edit grub for the 2nd linux that is on /dev/hda1
[07:07] <netmon> Anyone know where the kernel and initrd would be
[07:07] <kitche> _Codeman_: yeah but it helps though I m still not use the libata way now
[07:07] <Kr0ntab> I use 6 from the repos... didn't have any trouble...

[07:07] <ubotu> ErichOwens85: 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)
[07:08] <rm130> I have sun java 5 installed
[07:08] <ErichOwens85> Ah, thank you, I apologize.
[07:08] <rm130> that's the the ubuntu site says
[07:08] <kitche> ErichOwens85: hmm it seems like it can't use the address that the kernel is trying to give it
[07:08] <crm__> i recommend "amputation"!
[07:08] <Knoeki> question: can I read partitions formatted by OSX in Ubuntu?
[07:08] <ErichOwens85> kitche: Any ideas how to rectify that?
[07:09] <kitche> !hfs+ | Knoeki:
[07:09] <ubotu> Knoeki:: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - See also !fuse

[07:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about procmail - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:09] <sef_> ah well.. was worth a shot

[07:15] <ed1t> Failed to execute child process "acroread" (Permission denied) how do i fix this error?
[07:15] <Answer> kitche: void^:  how can I download the package to install it on a remote machine behind a firewall that can't get out to the repositories
[07:15] <dave132> bug reporter is broken
[07:16] <rollerskatejamms> Uninstalling the metapackage alone obviously wont do it.
[07:16] <void^> Answer: yes.
[07:16] <sorush21> which one of these should I change so that The bineries are installed to where the tabcompelete can find the program? --bindir=DIR           user executables [EPREFIX/bin]   --sbindir=DIR          system admin executables [EPREFIX/sbin]   --libexecdir=DIR       program executables [EPREFIX/libexec] 
[07:16] <kitche> rollerskatejamms: sudo apt-get autoremove kubuntu-desktop but I m not to familiar with apt-get really so I might be wrong

[07:17] <dave132> cnn video window close crashes firefox
[07:17] <kitche> sorush21: umm anywhere in your PATH
[07:17] <Enselic__> sorush21: put it in echo $PATH
[07:17] <sorush21> I'm doing a ./configure and I need to change it
[07:17] <preaction> sorush21: you want your $PREFIX to be "/usr/local"
[07:17] <rollerskatejamms> kitche, nope all that does is remove kubuntu-desktop
[07:17] <Answer> void^: that wasn't yes/no question... I did apt-get install -d nmap and it says it downloaded but I cannot find
[07:17] <sorush21> its being installed to somewhere really odd
[07:17] <Enselic__> sorush21: ./configure will in most cases default in /usr/local
[07:17] <Enselic__> sorush21: that is fine
[07:17] <preaction> sorush21: when you install build-essential, your $PREFIX should default to /usr/local
[07:17] <munch> hi im usin ubuntu 6.06 i updated it earlier and restarted and now all the writin has turned into squares can anyone help
[07:18] <sorush21> which one should I change ?
[07:18] <void^> Answer: 'apt-get install -d --print-uris nmap' will give you a list of files to download and transfer
[07:18] <Enselic__> sorush21: /usr/local/bin is in your path, so /usr/local is a fine prefix

[07:19] <void^> Answer: in /var/cache/apt/archives/
[07:19] <kitche> !ies4linux | caner
[07:19] <Enselic__> sorush21: it doesn't install until sudo make install anyway, so you can test-./configure it
[07:19] <sorush21> your not understanding what I'm trying to say ..
[07:19] <ubotu> caner: ies4linux is a script that quickly and effortlessly helps you install 3 versions of IE in Wine. Information can be found at http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page including instructions specifically for Ubuntu. ies4linux is aimed at web designers and ie-only sites, so please, dont use any of the IEs to navigate! Use Firefox!
[07:19] <Answer> void^: strange locatedb did not pick that up.
[07:20] <void^> Answer: locate needs updatedb
[07:20] <sorush21> when I make the package with a simple configure the tork program that allows me to run can not be found with a simple tab complete
[07:20] <preaction> sorush21: you're running ./configure && make && make install; correct?
[07:20] <Enselic__> sorush21: what does echo $PATH give?
[07:21] <sorush21> preaction: no checkinstall
[07:21] <Answer> void^: ok I transfered.  do I use 'dpkg -i *.deb'   ?
[07:21] <preaction> sorush21: so ./configure && make && checkinstall
[07:21] <void^> Answer: yes.
[07:21] <caner> yes ubotu i need i. explorer for exactly the same reason you are talking about. can ies4linux behave like both ie6 and ie7???? please help me. i am a stucked web designer
[07:22] <sorush21> its in /usr/local/kde/bin/tork
[07:22] <dr_willis> caner,  thers some ie4wine web site out there.. but why do you need ie at all. :)
[07:22] <sorush21> preaction: no just ./configure checkinstall
[07:22] <dr_willis> caner,  it can do ie6 i know. no idea about 7
[07:22] <caner> dr_willis to see what the site i design look like on ie
[07:22] <sorush21> that is what I have to type to get the program runnin
[07:22] <sorush21> that is what I have to type to get the program running
[07:22] <preaction> sorush21: checkinstall only replaces "make install", it doesn't replace "make" "make test" or "make clean" or whatever
[07:23] <dr_willis> caner,  of course if everyone followed the standards we wouldnt be havint to worry about such thigns.. heh but we wont get into that heated discussion. :)
[07:23] <Enselic__> make install usually makes if it isn't though
[07:23] <preaction> sorush21: okay, let's start from the beginning again because i think i don't understand what you're trying to do
[07:23] <unknown> hi, some one can help me, i'm configuring a mail server, the mail server send mail, but don't deliver localy? why could be that?
[07:23] <Answer> sorush21: I believe they want you to first type in "./configure"  then type in "make"  then type in "checkinstall"
[07:24] <sorush21> I'm trying to compile and run tork
[07:24] <Enselic__> sorush21: what are you installing
[07:24] <unknown> hi, some one can help me, i'm configuring a mail server, the mail server send mail, but don't deliver localy? why could be that?
[07:24] <Enselic__> !patience | unknown
[07:24] <ubotu> unknown: The people here are volunteers, your attitude may determine how fast you are helped.  Not everyone is available all the time, likewise not every answer is available instantly. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[07:24] <caner> yes dr_willis you are right.js for javascript, activex and other thing. microsoft ruins our work
[07:24] <unknown> sorry
[07:24] <preaction> sorush21: and i assume you're using checkinstall because you want a package you can uninstall using dpkg?
[07:24] <netmon> Whats the command to show my partition table
[07:24] <kitche> unknown: it could be for many reasons your config might be messed up among other things
[07:25] <preaction> !gparted | netmon
[07:25] <ubotu> netmon: 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
[07:25] <dr_willis> caner,  getting where i miss the good old days. :) not seen many sites that are improved by those things. heh.
[07:25] <netmon> Just the command
[07:25] <dr_willis> I wonder if i am the only one that has javascript disabled by default on his browsers..
[07:25] <netmon> its like fstab or something like that
[07:25] <stp2007> Hi, new to Ubuntu here. I'm trying to run a script to set up my wireless card. I was told to use sudo to run the script. The script file is called wireless. When I type sudo wireless in the terminal I get a ""sudo: wireless: command not found" error. Any thoughts?
[07:25] <sorush21> preaction: yes
[07:25] <preaction> netmon: fstab is not your partition table, it's your filesystem tab (mount points)
[07:25] <viko3000> somebody can help me with the sound 5.1 ??
[07:25] <dr_willis> stp2007,  give the full path to the script. and make sure its executable.
[07:26] <caner> dr_willis yes. today nobody likes your site if the links are underlined. hehe
[07:26] <munch> hi im usin ubuntu 6.06 for the first time i updated it earlier and restarted and now all the writin has turned into squares can anyone help i asked 3 peeps who use ubuntu to and they are baffeled
[07:26] <stp2007> dr_willis, I
[07:26] <unknown> i get the email from other mail, they store in /var/spool/mail but dont in the user folder
[07:26] <kitche> stp2007:  sudo ./wireless try that if it's in the directory that your in
[07:26] <unknown> kitche, i get the email from other mail, they store in /var/spool/mail but dont in the user folder
[07:26] <dr_willis> caner,  i love those 'double underline mouseover ads' thats progress!
[07:26] <michup> hi, howto erase data from dvd-rw via k3b?
[07:26] <stp2007> dr_willis, I've made sure it is executable, I tried a full path but didn't try the last comment from kitche. Will try that now.
[07:26] <preaction> sorush21: so you cd src/tork; $PREFIX=/usr/local/bin; ./configure; make; checkinstall; # correct?
[07:26] <dr_willis> stp2007,  ./whatever would be a shortcut to the full path. :)
[07:27] <viko3000> :-D somebody can help me with the sound 5.1 ??
[07:27] <sorush21> preaction: I don't understand but what does the prefix change?
[07:27] <kitche> unknown: that's because they aren't delivered usually ~/<maildir/ is after they are delivered but I had trobules with sendmail before it worked one moment and the next it just died
[07:27] <sorush21> I didn't do that preaction
[07:27] <sorush21> should I
[07:28] <netmon> Do I have to mount a partiion before I can boot to it, when I add it in grub I get "Error 17 : Cannot mount selected partition"
[07:28] <dr_willis> netmon,  mounting comes after booting the os.
[07:28] <Enselic__> sorush21: the PREFIX determines where files are stored. PREFIX=/usr/local casues binary to be installe din /usr/local/bin, libraries into /usr/local/lob... etc
[07:28] <preaction> sorush21: PREFIX is where the program will be installed. by default, configure sets it to /usr/local (because by convention, /usr is reserved for the OS package manager, whereas /usr/local is reserved for stuff outside the package manager)
[07:28] <Enselic__> lib*
[07:28] <munch> ok ty for ur help *Laughs* il just format hehe Be Back Later
[07:28] <dr_willis> netmon,  in your case its proberly trying to use the wrong partition for . or whatever its trying to mount to.
[07:28] <nathan_> Anyone else having resolution issues after installing nVidia drivers?
[07:29] <sorush21> well what is /usr/local/kde/bin/ all about?
[07:29] <stp2007> dr_willis, kitche: no joy. "sudo ./wireless" produces an "unable to execute ./wireless: no such file or diirectory". I've used pwd and dir to make sure I am in the right directory and the file is present so that seems ok. I made the file executable by right mouse cliclking on the file and setting the properties/permissions execute checkbox.
[07:29] <sorush21> that is where it is installed
[07:29] <dr_willis> nathan_,  i normally have issues BEFOR i install them. :)
[07:29] <erUSUL> !fixres > nathan_
[07:29] <netmon> dr_willis In Gparted the partition I want to boot to is /dev/sda1 and has no mount point
[07:29] <michup> i try to erase data from dvd-rw via k3b by using option format dvd-rw in the same second it announce me that its done successfully but nothing really happened
[07:29] <nathan_> HAHA!  funny doc. :)
[07:29] <sorush21> how do I change it
[07:29] <Enselic__> sorush21: you used PREFIX=/usr/local/kde
[07:29] <dr_willis> stp2007,  try a different file name. try making some other scripts. you may be doing somthing fundamental wrong.
[07:29] <michup> the dvd disk still store data
[07:29] <Enselic__> sorush21: export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/kde/bin"
[07:29] <sorush21> Enselic__: I didn't it did
[07:29] <Enselic__> sorush21: then tab completion works
[07:29] <cholera> is there a channel avail for video editing questions
[07:29] <dr_willis> stp2007,  do a 'ls -l filename' and see what the permissions are.
[07:30] <preaction> sorush21: no clue, but we said. change PREFIX environment variable for that session.
[07:30] <cox37777> is there such thing as a lite front end for ubuntu server?
[07:30] <Enselic__> sorush21: might need to source ~/.bashrc first
[07:30] <vfx> disk manager says status inaccessible, enable button does nothing to help.
[07:30] <dr_willis> cox37777,  define 'front end' :)
[07:30] <Enselic__> sorush21: you did because you installed it
[07:30] <Enselic__> sorush21: it probably defaulted PREFIX to that
[07:30] <unknown> kitche,  the maildir directory is in /var/spool/mail/virtual/(the user), i'm using postfix + ssl + mysql (for user) + courier
[07:30] <cox37777> dr_willis: well a very basic xserver
[07:30] <stp2007> dr_willis, what is the comment symbol for a script? Is it a '#' symbol?
[07:31] <Enselic__> stp2007: most of them, yes
[07:31] <unknown> kitche,  the mail.log said delivery to mailbox, but nothing is there
[07:31] <dr_willis> stp2007,  yes. You may want to read the 'advanced bash scripting guide' for example scripts
[07:31] <sorush21> what do I do when I have unpacked the source then cd into the source directory and I'm in the bash terminal ?
[07:31] <nathan_> (7.04) I get 1024x768 before driver install with 1280x1024 in the xorg.conf.  after nVidia driver it goes 800x600 on me and won't change despite the xorg.conf file and nvidia-settings only has 'auto' available from the resolution drop menu.
[07:31] <Answer> sorush21: ./configure
[07:31] <viko3000> :)somebody can help me with the sound 5.1 ??
[07:31] <dr_willis> nathan_,  it may be a monitor setting.
[07:31] <kitche> unknown: might want to ask in #postfix they might be able to help more, sicne mail servers are a pain really, but did the user check the mail they might have their client to delete all mail from the server once recieved
[07:32] <Enselic__> viko3000: what is that sound
[07:32] <sorush21> Answer: no, that is what I've been doing ...
[07:32] <dr_willis> viko3000,  may want to expand on the problem a bit.
[07:32] <Enselic__> sorush21: did you do as I say?
[07:32] <Enselic__> sorush21: with export and source
[07:32] <preaction> sorush21: you have three options right now: add something to your PATH, link the binary to a directory in your PATH, or recompile after setting a new PREFIX
[07:32] <viko3000> well, i have a sound blaster live 5.1...
[07:32] <unknown> kitche, i'll ask there, thanks
[07:32] <malkadi> guys

[07:33] <malkadi> i have a problem with Beryl
[07:33] <cholera> who doesnt
[07:33] <Answer> !beryl | malkadi
[07:33] <ubotu> malkadi: Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[07:33] <dr_willis> Beryl is a problem. :)
[07:33] <malkadi> lol
[07:33] <viko3000> only works as a 2.1
[07:33] <dr_willis> the fix is.. well.. i dont want to start a fight.
[07:33] <stp2007> still no joy. created a new script called blue in same location. Made it executable and still get a similar error "sudo: unable to execute ./blue: no such file or directory"
[07:33] <malkadi> when i play a movie it flickers and doesn't show
[07:33] <ed1t> beryl works fine for me!

[07:33] <malkadi> and am working on an intel
[07:33] <sorush21> Enselic__: I did the export in the source directory now should I do make clean and ./configure
[07:33] <dr_willis> viko3000,  its possible your sound source is only 2.1 twiddle with the sliders to mirrot the front/back perhaps.
[07:33] <dr_willis> work time.
[07:33] <viko3000> I have tried with some scripts an nothing !
[07:33] <Enselic__> stp2007: what does ls -l sript give?
[07:33] <kitche> malkadi: it's because beryl and video players don't like each other
[07:34] <malkadi> hmmm
[07:34] <Enselic__> sorush21: configure sets up the source dir for compilation
[07:34] <malkadi> so no solution for this?
[07:34] <Enselic__> sorush21: you compile with make
[07:34] <zlx> fat32 can be read and wrote to from both window$ and ubuntu right?
[07:34] <Enselic__> sorush21: make cleans up build files
[07:34] <malkadi> i switch to metacity when i want 2 play a movie

[07:39] <cjae> Answer, look @ the ubuntu how to thing for ntfs 3 g and how to enable read/write support for ntfs
[07:39] <Enselic__> Answer: the ^M?
[07:39] <stp2007> Answer, dos2unix is currently not installed
[07:39] <nathan_> I don't know if they have a hackintosh version by worth looking into.
[07:39] <Enselic__> stp2007: are you running Ubuntu?
[07:39] <stp2007> Enselic__, yes

[07:40] <Enselic__> Answer: ah
[07:40] <Enselic__> didnt notice that
[07:40] <Answer> stp2007: Enselic__:  the ^M line breaks are dos characters so it cannot find bin/bash.  either get dos2unix, or just open a new file in linux
[07:40] <stp2007> answer, I created a new file for blue I copied text from a file I had transferred from windows. SHould I retype to avoid cr/lf problems?
[07:40] <taonari> cholera: yes that's a great idea but for some reason I forgot how to fix that.
[07:40] <Enselic__> stp2007: that is the problem

[07:41] <stp2007> Answer, and retype or will cut and paste from blue work with new file?
[07:41] <Answer> cjae: last time I tried, I could not get write support

[07:41] <cjae> Answer,  when was last time and was it with automatix?
[07:41] <cholera> taonari: You may want to try adding: splash=verbose to your grub kernel line.
[07:42] <erUSUL> drivera90: ~/.wine/drive_c/
[07:42] <Answer> cjae: awhile ago.  ubuntu 5 hedgehog whatever.  that is encouraging news.  I will try again
[07:42] <kitche> drivera90: /home/user/.wine/drive_c/
[07:42] <taonari> cholera: ah that way I could watch the startup and see what the path is?
[07:42] <Enselic__> stp2007: sudo apt-get install tofrodos && dos2unix blue
[07:42] <Answer> ah htat is the package name
[07:43] <cjae> Answer, make sure you don't use automatix unless you absloutely have to as it broke/did not enable write support for me last time I used it
[07:43] <Answer> cjae: so how did you get it working
[07:43] <cholera> taonari: you can also remove spash and quiet from the kernel line altogether and get all the system messages to scroll by in the terminal during startup.
[07:43] <cjae> zlx, are you catching this?

[07:43] <Yggdrasil> funny
[07:44] <taonari> cholera: yeah I could.  I'll see what I can dig up.  Thanks for your help.
[07:44] <Enselic__> stp2007: or open it in emacs and strip from there
[07:44] <Answer> stp2007: if you do 'apt-get install tofrodos'  then run dos2unix blue, it will convert from dos 2 unix format
[07:44] <cjae> Answer, just follow the actual ubuntu site instruction I don't know maybe the binary/apt-get will be enough
[07:44] <cholera> taonari: np

[07:47] <harris2004> windows is on top of the list but ubuntu is selected
[07:47] <kitche> harris2004: or you can just make windows default
[07:47] <harris2004> as default
[07:47] <harris2004> how?
[07:47] <kitche> harris2004: change the defualt line to point to whatever the windows it

[07:55] <stp2007> Answer, thanks for the help. The script is running. There seems to be a problem with the script but I've run out of time today so I'll tackle that next time.
[07:55] <kitche> crusie: glxinfo and see what it says for your drivers and rendering

[07:57] <crusie> glxgears gives me 15504.776 FPS kitche is this normal for a 7950 GT ?
[07:58] <irbdavid> Anyone can tell me which graphics card will work best under ubuntu:  ATI x1950 or Nvidia 8800 GTS?
[07:58] <Henica> Morning guys.
[07:58] <cjae> kitche, anyway to get it to verbose on reboot too?
[07:58] <kitche> crusie: yea since glxgear is not a benchmark tool
[07:58] <lmnop__> klausi, it probably doesnt have drivers installed for it
[07:58] <hydragryum> hi
[07:58] <engel>  /join #atw
[07:58] <crusie> irbdavid: definately the nvidia one
[07:58] <hiro_> irbdavid, Nvidia cards generally have better drivers under Linux.
[07:58] <cjae> kitche, or is that distro specific
[07:58] <lmnop__> irbdavid, go with nvidia. ati has notoriously poor support for linux drivers
[07:58] <Henica> Nvidia < ATI
[07:59] <Henica> Err
[07:59] <Henica> >
[07:59] <irbdavid> i suspected as much tbh
[07:59] <Henica> ^^;
[07:59] <cjae> kitche, thanks btw
[07:59] <compengi> !lunchpad
[07:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about lunchpad - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:59] <klausi> imnop__ yes drivers are not yet installed
[07:59] <burnerx> wasup
[07:59] <kitche> cjae: it should be verbose no matter what if it's like that but upstart is different never really looked into how it works really
[07:59] <crusie> I don't think they are installed correct.. I don't have the nvidia x thingie I had last time
[08:00] <kitche> crusie: what does glxinfo say for your driver
[08:00] <cjae> kitche, thanks anyway
[08:00] <siloko> does anyone know how to force my cpu to perform at maximum GHZ, it's a laptop with stepping by default?
[08:00] <crusie> kitche: is that the vendor string ?
[08:01] <kitche> crusie: yeah and the openGL part also
[08:01] <cjae> does anyone else have a plextor optical dvd burner?? and did it start to work a little better with the HAL update ??
[08:01] <crusie> kitche: it says nvidia
[08:01] <Henica> Hmm.. I wish I would figure out a way for this install/download to go quicker.
[08:02] <kitche> crusie: then it's installed correctly the nvidia splash just might be disabled
[08:02] <Henica> Does anyone here use amaroK?
[08:02] <crusie> no I mean you can see it under programs I think
[08:02] <hydragryum> i use amarok
[08:03] <Henica> Is it as nice as the specs that I'm reading, hydragryum?
[08:03] <ed_> has anyone noticed that ssh has broken when talking to older servers?
[08:03] <kitche> crusie: for that nvidia settings dialog you need to install another package
[08:03] <crusie> ah
[08:03] <crusie> which one is that ?
[08:03] <hydragryum> yes is good, of course you must read about mp3 support in amarok
[08:03] <kitche> ed_: sshv1 might not be supported by the ssh client in ubuntu if that's what the server uses
[08:04] <Henica> Do you have a link, hydragryum?
[08:04] <kitche> crusie: maybe nvidia-settings?

[08:05] <german> hi everyone
[08:06] <kitche>  tatters the reverse sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:06] <siloko> tatters: do the reverse cp, and restart X with ctrl-alt-backspace
[08:06] <The_Alexander> hello - how to change resolution in text mode?
[08:06] <usser> hey
[08:08] <tatters> Thnx to who was helping me, tried ctrl/alt backspace  did not realise it would log me out :/
[08:09] <javes> is there anything better than pidgin right now for AIM?
[08:09] <cbs> hey o all
[08:09] <german> hi, I'm using gnome xchat but I don't like it, is any other better chat?
[08:09] <The_Alexander> how to change resolution in text mode?
[08:09] <javes> bitchx!
[08:10] <The_Alexander> Konversation
[08:10] <habeeb> Dammit! I can't get my iBook G4 to boot from CD. I'm holding the C for long and it will just boot to the desktop >:
[08:10] <The_Alexander> or Irssi
[08:10] <theacolyte> Is there such thing as a non framenting filesystem?
[08:10] <theacolyte> fragmenting rather
[08:11] <javes> Does anyone know of a better IM than pidgin? i'm growing tired of it for AIM
[08:11] <hydragryum> Henica there are two ways to install mp3 support on amarok one is install amarok and use install mp3 -script when you will be trying play mp3 second is install with apt-get ibxine-extracodecs because amarok use a xine libs
[08:11] <siloko> tatters: are yes perhaps i should have mentioned it restarts X, so loading your new/modified xorg.conf . ..
[08:11] <Kyral_Laptop> theacolyte: ext3,reiserfs,XFS,JFS,NTFS....
[08:11] <Kyral_Laptop> (None are PURE non fragmentation, thats impossible, but they handle it transparently)
[08:11] <theacolyte> that's what I was going to ask next :)
[08:11] <theacolyte> thanks Kyral_Laptop
[08:12] <Kyral_Laptop> Pretty much any modern FS
[08:12] <Kyral_Laptop> javes: Gaim or Kopete are good
[08:12] <tatters> siloko: no worries my editing musta worked I got back to desktop :)
[08:12] <Henica> Hmm.. If I switch between work places, and I have a download running on one, and I'm working on another, will it cause my download to run slower?
[08:12] <shagggy> as the maintainer, I have to admit that jfs can get pretty fragmented
[08:12] <musya3d> how would you overload the [] []  operator
[08:12] <musya3d> so you can write a(a,b)
[08:12] <usser_> Kyral_Laptop gain IS pidgin
[08:12] <Kyral_Laptop> Henica: you mean workspaces?
[08:12] <musya3d> instead of a[a] [b] ?
[08:12] <german> konversation looks good, but I wsa thinking in something better for gnome
[08:13] <german> anyone?
[08:13] <javes> Kyral, yeah i've been a gaim user for a long time, looking for something new
[08:13] <Kyral_Laptop> usser_: Oh so they renamed it in Ubuntu?
[08:13] <musya3d> oops sorry wrong channel :d
[08:13] <javes> pidgin = gaim
[08:13] <Kyral_Laptop> Since when?
[08:13] <usser_> Kyral_Laptop: nope it is still gaim
[08:13] <Kyral_Laptop> ...stop confusing me!!!
[08:13] <javes> heh
[08:13] <javes> i believe they're going to change the name, the site has been changed already
[08:13] <kitche> Kyral_Laptop: sicne AOL made them change the name but it's gaim in ubuntu still
[08:13] <kitche> javes: it's changed already
[08:13] <Kyral_Laptop> fsck AOL :P
[08:13] <usser_> Kyral_Laptop: hehe its gaim in ubuntu but pidgin everywhere else
[08:13] <Henica> Kyral_Laptop: Yes.
[08:14] <Kyral_Laptop> Henica: so you start a DL on one WorkSpace, then switch to another and start another DL?
[08:14] <Kyral_Laptop> (Jst making it clear)
[08:14] <krathognis> has anyone had success getting the novell client anywhere near working in Ubuntu?
[08:14] <Henica> Kyral_Laptop: No, just one download running on a workspace, and then I'm browsing the net on another.
[08:14] <guzu> hello all
[08:14] <Kyral_Laptop> Henica: Technically there will be an impact
[08:14] <javes> Kyral, i'll give Kopete a shot though
[08:15] <javes> thanks
[08:15] <Kyral_Laptop> Henica: but unless the network is already saturated, you don't see it

[08:16] <cpbtklogic> guzu: xubuntu
[08:16] <Kyral_Laptop> Henica: That is dependant on your network and the Flux

[08:26] <Husio> hello
[08:26] <alteroo> EhPrettyEasy: yes
[08:26] <EhPrettyEasy> So
[08:26] <EhPrettyEasy> You mean that if I go through the normal installation
[08:26] <EhPrettyEasy> It won't delete Windows?
[08:26] <Mirage> EhPrettyEasy: yes, if windows is installed first, then ubuntu
[08:26] <EhPrettyEasy> Yeah i have windows now
[08:26] <Mirage> it should work without any more configuration
[08:27] <EhPrettyEasy> And ubuntu cd with me
[08:27] <Mirage> i just did that today
[08:27] <Terrasque> EhPrettyEasy: you get a menu when the machine start
[08:27] <Husio> I have a question about default ubuntu kernel - what patch allows to use pilot in macbook intel 2.0 ?

[08:27] <redbullfx> ?
[08:27] <EhPrettyEasy> I know the men
[08:27] <kbj> is there a simple way to add a custom resolution to ubuntu
[08:27] <EhPrettyEasy> But someone told me that I should partition.
[08:27] <EhPrettyEasy> Use some program of defrag.
[08:27] <redbullfx> kbj, How do you had custom reslolution
[08:27] <usser_> redbullfx: i do =)
[08:27] <Mirage> Oh, yes. you need some unallocated space for ubuntu
[08:27] <paozinho> http://gnutopia.net
[08:27] <usser_> redbullfx i see u got tired of ekiga
[08:27] <redbullfx> hahaha
[08:28] <EhPrettyEasy> But, how do I do it? I have no idea.
[08:28] <redbullfx> usser: are you in another different channel.. to many people here
[08:28] <kbj> redbullfx: what do you mean?
[08:28] <EhPrettyEasy> I have Paragon Partition Manager, but I don't know how to use it.
[08:28] <Mirage> Do you have more than one partition on your PC?
[08:28] <jjm> I said yes to replacing the file. What the heck.
[08:28] <EhPrettyEasy> uhmhm, I dont think so
[08:28] <EhPrettyEasy> You mean C: and others?
[08:28] <usser_> redbullfx somebody took time to register my nick )
[08:28] <Mirage> So there's only C: and nothing else?
[08:28] <ghf> anyone have time to help with dhcp server?
[08:28] <redbullfx> kbj: screen resolution. i want to change mine to 1280:1024
[08:28] <EhPrettyEasy> There is C: and D:
[08:28] <Terrasque> EhPrettyEasy: ubuntu can resize an exisiting partition under install. but you can also use partition manager, or gparted.
[08:28] <thcmonkey> am i able to view my ubuntu partition when in my windows partition?

[08:29] <redbullfx> kbj: oh..ok ..never mind then
[08:29] <Mirage> If D: is a hard drive partition, you might want to back it up somewhere, and then delete the partition and remake the ones you need for ubuntu

[08:29] <Mirage> I moved all od my D: to a friend's PC over the network and wiped the entire partition
[08:29] <d2812> sebsebseb: just out of curiosity does ubuntu even pick up your firewire as a network device? Mine doesnt.
[08:29] <Mirage> then remade a few partitios for ubuntu
[08:29] <EhPrettyEasy> Mirage, could you take a look at this picture and tell me what I need to change? http://www.googlefight.com/index.php?lang=en_GB&word1=Eh+Pretty+Easy&word2=Bob+Lablah
[08:29] <alteroo> Husio: try #ubuntu-devel
[08:30] <Husio> alteroo: thanks
[08:30] <EhPrettyEasy> oops sorry

[08:30] <usser_> redbullfx: no im here in #ubuntu but with bitchx god knows where i am
[08:30] <redbullfx> haha...
[08:30] <redbullfx> can u go to #jaro just for a sec??? to talk about twinkle
[08:31] <Mirage> I never used that partition manager before
[08:31] <FantaOrange> PLEASE help me cqan i run https with apache2? anyone?
[08:31] <EhPrettyEasy> I need to allocate at least 10Gb, but I don't know which options to set.
[08:31] <gglser> whats the best movie player for Ubuntu? I noticed VLC is a bit bugged. I cant fast forward or scroll through the video, since it crashes.
[08:31] <Mirage> gglser: Totem works fine for me
[08:32] <gglser> mirage: any codecs that I should download?
[08:32] <Terrasque> EhPrettyEasy: "please specify size after partition" - put in 10000
[08:32] <sebsebseb> d2812: I don't think so how to find out?
[08:32] <darkstrikerd> gglser: mplayer is the best for me
[08:32] <Mirage> hm, I don't remember the exact names for the codec downloads I used
[08:32] <EhPrettyEasy> Terrasque: Wouldn't that resize my C: to 10gb when it's 143gb now?
[08:33] <EhPrettyEasy> So I'd lose 133GB...?
[08:33] <gglser> darkstrikerd mirage: so you guys are saying I wouldnt have any problems watching videos with ubuntu?
[08:33] <lmnop__> gglser, none at all
[08:33] <Mirage> gglser: I know I had to download a few codecs, but you need to do that with all OSes
[08:33] <d2812> sebsebseb: System -> Administation -> Network
[08:33] <Mirage> windows doesn't come with xvid either
[08:33] <Terrasque> EhPrettyEasy: no, it would allocate 10 gb after the partition
[08:34] <gglser> morage: roger that!
[08:34] <sebsebseb> no  it does not it seems.
[08:34] <gglser> *mirage
[08:34] <EhPrettyEasy> Now to create the Linux partition. At the top, click on Wizards > Create Partition. Click on Next and then click on the unallocated space you created in the last step. Click Next again, and then make sure to format it as Linux ext 3.
[08:34] <sebsebseb> and  I already been in there
[08:34] <EhPrettyEasy> Resize the newly created partition and leave about 2 GB unallocated.
[08:34] <EhPrettyEasy> Create another partition out of the 2 GB unallocated and format it as swap.
[08:34] <Mirage> gglser: I could check, but I'm not on ubuntu right now
[08:34] <EhPrettyEasy> I do that?
[08:34] <gglser> mirage: dont worry its ok. was just curious
[08:34] <i-am> can anyone help me to log into ubuntu? during installation i added hostname and password, but now i cannot log in...wrong username or password
[08:34] <Mirage> I even play wmv files in my ubuntu
[08:35] <sixth> hey,  can anyone help me? how do i reinstall grub from livecd? a windows program fucked up my boot up
[08:35] <Terrasque> EhPrettyEasy: let ubuntu partition the free space
[08:35] <POVaddct> !grub > POVaddct
[08:35] <i-am> anyone?
[08:35] <EhPrettyEasy> But I've heard the there will be complications, like it gets bugged and formats everything.
[08:35] <lmnop__> sixth, i might be able to help
[08:35] <POVaddct> !grub > sixth
[08:36] <sixth> thanks pov
[08:36] <Mirage> I'm not sure what I should say, EhPrettyEasy. I always made sure I had unpartitioned space before i started the installation process
[08:36] <Terrasque> EhPrettyEasy: it havent happened even once when ive installed ubuntu. And that is about 10 times on 4 different computers
[08:37] <Mirage> Because I don't entirely trust programs to partition my hard drives without my input
[08:37] <i-am> can anyone help me to log into ubuntu? during installation i added hostname and password, but now i cannot log in...wrong username or password :(
[08:37] <Terrasque> EhPrettyEasy: of course, if you tell it to delete everything, it will
[08:37] <EhPrettyEasy> mmkay
[08:37] <EhPrettyEasy> If I put in the cd, install Ubuntu normally it doesnt delete windows and its dual?
[08:38] <EhPrettyEasy> Nothing else needs to be done?
[08:38] <Terrasque> EhPrettyEasy: http://www.linuxlibrarian.org/node/319 - look at Prepare disk space
[08:38] <HUNTER6> ANYONE HERE PLAY XMOTO
[08:38] <Mirage> If you read through the dialog boxes properly, I'm sure you would be able to tell ubuntu to not delete your windows
[08:38] <Mirage> It's presented in a pretty easily understandable way
[08:39] <Terrasque> EhPrettyEasy: if you have some partitions on disk, but free space, it will come up with "use avaliable free space". Chose that, next, and ubuntu will do the rest
[08:39] <habeeb> IS there an IRC channel for ubuntu-ppc (yes, I know it's not officially supported.).

[08:47] <POVaddct> jrib: i used mmsrip for a while, but it doesn't work anymore. maybe they changed something in the mms protocol.
[08:47] <jjm> Demetrious: If you can't look at the icon on Fedora to see what it runs then maybe you can google Fedora and some key words.
[08:47] <Pelo> kick52|nix,  what is the issue ?
[08:47] <Gunirus> habeeb: ???
[08:47] <Demetrious> jrib: That is what I am trying to find out, to get it installed/working on my Ubuntu box.

[08:47] <jjm> Demetrious: what is the icon called?
[08:47] <jrib> Demetrious: oh, thought you had fedora on your system
[08:47] <Demetrious> jrib: The Fedora folks (went over their channel too) have no idea. They told me it comes with usermode-gtk. I checked and they err.
[08:47] <HUNTER8> HABEER i have a ati radeon 200G sereis card and and when I use the flginfo it says that DRI missing

[08:49] <Pelo> kick52|nix,  I have no idea how sharing a connection works,  sorry
[08:49] <AlexiHusky> Jim: It runs slackware / knoppix just fine
[08:49] <habeeb_> Anyone here who uses Ubuntu PPC, or used to use?
[08:49] <Pelo> HoocH_Laptop,  just check in synaptic for webcam
[08:49] <jjm> should I replace /etc/ntp.conf?? What is ntp.conf?
[08:49] <HoocH_Laptop> Pelo:  k :)
[08:49] <kick52|nix> damn.. im sure its to do with the wep though, as airport cards encryption scheme is a bit funky..
[08:49] <jrib> POVaddct: don't know if it works, but tried streamripper?
[08:50] <AlexiHusky> I'm wondering if Ubunto requires special drivers or something?
[08:50] <dyrne> AlexiHusky: seems problems with scsi drive setup have you tried ide?
[08:50] <stefg> Hmmm, i can only log out of gnome with a delay of approx. 2-3 min. When i choose 'Shutdown' from the menu (or panel applet) nothing happens immediatly, but only after 2 minutes or so the logout dialog will appear. This doesn't happen with a fresh user account, so it must be in the user settings. Anyone has a clue what's going on here?
[08:50] <Pelo> kick52|nix, check the forum
[08:50] <AlexiHusky> Dyrne: It's using just IDE
[08:50] <POVaddct> jrib: oh, don't know that one. thanks for the hint.
[08:50] <kick52|nix> ok thanks pelo
[08:50] <stefg> google has nothing (or i habe the wrong search terms)
[08:50] <cbs> im running ubuntu on 64 amd, and when I went to install a 64 bit nvidia driver package, it says it detects im running on an x86 kernel
[08:50] <AlexiHusky> Note: I can boot using graphics safe mode, but once it's in the desktop graphical environment it appears froxen / the mouse won't work
[08:50] <cbs> can anyone help?
[08:51] <ChiefT> hey all - new to ubuntu and linux - wondering if i haven't installed freeradius right - can't find radiusd to start it up
[08:51] <dyrne> AlexiHusky: youre lockin into windows? vmware server is free to setup on linux box. course you know that already :)
[08:51] <tideline> cbs: what does uname -a tell you?
[08:51] <AlexiHusky> XD Man, this channel needs seperate conversations rofl....
[08:51] <Pelo> cbs, did you install the x86 ubuntu or the amd64 ubntu ?
[08:51] <till> hi all
[08:51] <cbs> `pelo: 64
[08:51] <AlexiHusky> Dyrne: I'm testing this at work
[08:52] <AlexiHusky> Work doesn't appreciate me formatting my system and losing my developer tools =P
[08:52] <Pelo> ChiefT,   try typing the name in the terminal
[08:52] <Pelo> cbs, checkthe forum
[08:52] <cbs> tideline: Linux OcSys 2.6.20-15-generic #2 SMP Sun Apr 15 07:36:31 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
[08:52] <rollerskatejamms> Anybody know an app that can open .img files. They're kinda like isos.
[08:52] <HoocH_Laptop> Pelo:  I thought that synaptics only had touchpad stuff ?
[08:52] <AlexiHusky> Rollerskatejamms: Try DaemonTools
[08:52] <tideline> cbs: are you sure you installed 64 bit version?
[08:53] <rollerskatejamms> AlexiHusky, This isn't windows.
[08:53] <zlx> #
[08:53] <cbs> tideline: yes im fairly certain...
[08:53] <AlexiHusky> =P
[08:53] <zlx> #ubuntuchat
[08:53] <zlx> shit
[08:53] <Pelo> cbs,  i686  is x86 ,  you need to install the 32 bit driver
[08:53] <zlx> soz
[08:53] <tideline> cbs: I think thats the latest 32 bit kernel
[08:53] <jjm> rollerskatejamms: have you tried mounting them?
[08:53] <stefg> rollerskatejamms: google for cdemu
[08:53] <cbs> tideline: oh boo
[08:53] <ChiefT> pelo: did, 'bash: radiusd: command not found, can't find it anywhere, did a search. installed with synaptics
[08:53] <cbs> looks like its time to reinstall ubuntu
[08:53] <stefg> !info cdemu
[08:53] <ubotu> Package cdemu does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[08:53] <rollerskatejamms> Yeah but what abot an app that can just burn them
[08:53] <cbs> how can I install 32bit and 64 bit ?
[08:53] <tideline> cbs there are ways to update your kernel, but it would be faster to reinstall
[08:54] <cbs> tideline: but say I want to be able ot use both of them
[08:54] <Pelo> ChiefT,  and you can't find it in the menus ?   weird,  try the command line again and remember that linux is case sensitive
[08:54] <tideline> cbs: what machine again
[08:54] <cbs> what machine?
[08:54] <tideline> cbs: why do you want both of them?
[08:54] <cbs> specify
[08:54] <jjm> roller, try burning them the same way you burn an ISO.
[08:54] <tideline> cbs type
[08:54] <doublebind> any germans here?
[08:54] <ChiefT> pelo: menus? is there a gui version? i thought it was strictly command line
[08:54] <tideline> amd. intel etc
[08:54] <Amsterdam> has anyone ever gotten https to work with apache2?
[08:55] <cbs> becuase some apps dont work right in 64 as I understand, but when I had 64 bit installed before it was way faster
[08:55] <Pelo> ChiefT,   try just typing radius or RADIUS
[08:55] <stefg> rollerskatejamms: these are non-standard *windows* formats... maybe cdemu can help you,but don't expect linux burning apps to deal with cracked CD-Images
[08:55] <cbs> AMD 64
[08:55] <tideline> Amsterdam: it starts by default in apache2
[08:55] <doublebind> can someone help me with my berryl problem?
[08:55] <doublebind> plz
[08:55] <rollerskatejamms> stefg, they arent cracked cd images, theyre recovery images from sony
[08:55] <ChiefT> pelo: radius: command not found
[08:55] <tideline> so why would you want to use 32 bit kernel?  You can still instal some 32 bit packages
[08:55] <Pelo> ChiefT,  it dont, know radius  , I thought you might have a menu entry
[08:55] <tideline> I think
[08:55] <cbs> tideline: would everything under wine rune the same?
[08:56] <eliu> is there a frontend to ffmpeg
[08:56] <stefg> rollerskatejamms: so what kind of recovery app does sony provide to restore them ? any idea?
[08:56] <tideline> cbs: ooh I cant answer that definitively
[08:56] <rollerskatejamms> stefg, a broken one.
[08:56] <rollerskatejamms> stefg, broken on this pc that is
[08:56] <lmnop__> cbs, wine is just an emulator. some programs dont work correctly
[08:56] <cbs> form what I have read it wont work as well
[08:56] <ChiefT> pelo: k, thx anyway. i'm just trying to basically figure out how to install apps period. i'm guessing i'm not doing it right if i can't even start the dang thing
[08:56] <rollerskatejamms> lmnop__, wine is NOT an emulator
[08:56] <cbs> would there be a way to dual install 32bit and 64 bit?
[08:56] <Pelo> ChiefT,   if yo are uing the gui  use the search funtion in places and search for radius see what comes up ,  but from what I am seing  radiusd-livingston might be the correct command line
[08:56] <jjm> which irc client works best when there are lots of people on the channel and stuff is scrolling really fast?
[08:56] <cox37777> lol i cannot believe i'm having to install xubuntu just so i can set up samba
[08:57] <Pelo> ChiefT,   http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/
[08:57] <tideline> cbs: is this going to be a desktop of server?
[08:57] <lmnop__> rollerskatejamms, fine. api implementation.
[08:57] <brainiac8008> hi, i have ubuntu dapper and want to do a clean install of feisty using the live cd (I want to put feisty in my current ext3 partition and format ext3).  When the installation process comes to the part about partitioning, (Erase hard disk, automatic, or manual), should I choose manual and if so, will there be a way to format ext3 and will it allow me to put feisty in my current ext3 partition without making a new
[08:57] <rollerskatejamms> lmnop__, :-P
[08:57] <cbs> desktop, tuned to the performance ratings of a server :-D
[08:57] <ChiefT> pelo: ahh that helps, i'll take a read, thx!
[08:57] <Rocha80> #ubuntu-br
[08:57] <stefg> rollerskatejamms: if you are lucky it's just a file-system image. try 'sudo mount -o loop -t auto foobar.img /mnt' and see if what you have in /mnt then
[08:58] <tideline> cbs: there are programs that you will not be able to use i.e. the Kava plugin for firefox, there isn't a 64 bit version of that
[08:58] <rollerskatejamms> stefg, ok
[08:58] <tideline> and I think there are probems with flash too
[08:58] <Pelo> brainiac8008, # you got  cut off
[08:58] <cbs> tideline: i dont really care about what I can and cant run other than being able to run certain windows games, and have a zippy 64 bit environment to work in, if nothing else
[08:58] <Pelo> brainiac8008,   ext3 is the default format for ubuntu instalation's
[08:58] <mojojojo_> hi
[08:59] <brainiac8008> pelo, i know that, but what do you mean I got cut off?  everything looks like it's there to me
[08:59] <AlexiHusky> Guyes is there a driver CD available for use with Microsoft's virtual server 2005 environment?
[08:59] <tideline> cbs: have you tested wine on this box?
[08:59] <AlexiHusky> I can boot slackware, knoppix just fine no problems
[08:59] <Pelo> brainiac8008,   " on without making a ne"
[08:59] <cbs> tideline: yes
[09:00] <rollerskatejamms> stefg, Nice try but no. Thanks anyway.
[09:00] <brainiac8008> pelo, "without making a new one?"
[09:01] <tideline> so then your problem is that installing something it tells you you have a 32bit kernel - you can either try to get the 64 bit kernel via apt-get or get a vanilla kernel from kernel.org
[09:01] <tideline> then upgrade any packages that need to be 64 bit
[09:01] <cbs> what is vanilla kernel? is it better than ubuntu 64 kernel?
[09:01] <dyrne> AlexiHusky: i did a google search like 'site:ubuntuforums.org "virtual server 2005" feisty' got some hits
[09:01] <eg_linux> can anyone here tell me how can i watch real player files in ubunutu?
[09:01] <Pelo> brainiac8008, ic,  well you can write over te exsiting / partition no problem you just have to say that is wath you watn to do ,  and if you have mounted your /home folder to a different partiton only the OS and the progs will get overwirtten and all your personnal data and settings will be saved

[09:02] <stefg> rollerskatejamms: assuming it's a bootable CD you could try to utilize vmware player. you can use the image as a vrtual cd-drive for vmware-player and restore to a VM
[09:02] <tideline> cbs: well you arent running the 64 bit kernel
[09:02] <Pelo> cbs, vanilla is a synonyme of Default in this context
[09:02] <eg_linux> ubotu: thanks alot
[09:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about thanks alot - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:02] <tideline> they are the same to an extent dont know how much the ubuntu devs customize the "vanilla" kernel
[09:03] <rollerskatejamms> stefg, Nope, the boot discs detect whether or not you're running the proper model of sony. Also a good idea though.
[09:03] <cbs> oh, <--- x noob....last time I used linux was redhat 4 in the 90's :P
[09:03] <r1985mc> hey all
[09:03] <tideline> cs you could get the kernel headers package then recomplie the one you have
[09:03] <brainiac8008> pelo, ok and what about swap?  If I do manual is there an option to use the current swap file or do I just not make a new one?
[09:03] <cbs> can I reinstall without killing my files? like, only reformat /boot?
[09:04] <stefg> rollerskatejamms: so try to get cdemu running... probably your best chance then
[09:04] <Lamego> cbs, if you create your /home on a split partition, yes
[09:04] <rollerskatejamms> stefg, Actually, nero for linux might open it
[09:04] <rollerskatejamms> im rying that
[09:05] <tideline> cbs: if you move to another partition then dont format during install - then remount it when you install you wont loose anything
[09:05] <DVS01> what sort of performance should i expect from ubuntu on a p3 1.2ghz with .5gb ram? is there a certain window manager that i should use?
[09:06] <brainiac8008> pelo, ok and what about swap?  If I do manual is there an option to use the current swap file or do I just not make a new one?
[09:06] <lmnop__> DVS01, pretty good, esp. if you get that version optimized for older systems.
[09:06] <cbs> im confused....go pm?
[09:06] <elcuco> hi, quickie, xrander 1.2 on 7.04, possible or not?  (reading https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/5899)
[09:06] <tideline> sure
[09:06] <jrib> DVS01: I bet that runs regular ubuntu fine, but you could try xubuntu if you want something lighter
[09:06] <eg_linux> ubuntulog: but i have a problem coz i didn,t make a root password when i,m installing ubuntu
[09:06] <darkstrikerd> DVS01: ubuntu will work fine, but xfce will work better
[09:06] <Amsterdam> Which vnc server should i use?
[09:06] <Flannel> eg_linux: Ubuntu doesn't use the root password, that's normal.
[09:06] <dyrne> DVS01: i second xubuntu
[09:07] <eg_linux> Flannel: so how can i install ubuntu?
[09:07] <upgrdman> is there any easy way in linux to find out info about my RAM? like type, clock speed, # of pins, ddr or not, etc?
[09:07] <Flannel> eg_linux: Ubuntu uses sudo instead of a root account, `sudo [stuff] ` to run stuff as super user
[09:08] <kazim59> hello genius ubuntu community!
[09:08] <DVS01> Flannel: what do you mean by that? how does it 'use' sudo? dont users use sudo?
[09:08] <eg_linux> Flannel: how can i type this : deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu dapper-commercial main    ?
[09:08] <Flannel> DVS01: yes, users use sudo.
[09:08] <stefg> !root
[09:08] <cbs> sudo karate
[09:08] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:08] <kjwight> hey all
[09:09] <bionoid> Hi all. I'm having some severe performance issues with my ICH7 family (82801GBM/GHM) SATA controller (laptop, hp nc6320). I get ~40 mb/s, my regular IDE laptop easily outperforms it. There seems to be no difference whether running libata or ata_piix, with or without combined_mode=libata. Tested kernel 2.6.17, 2.6.20.9 and 2.6.21.1. If I run, say, WinXP as a guest in parallels the host os crawls like a turtle in a pool of super-glue This does not 
[09:09] <DVS01> thanks
[09:09] <Amsterdam> i just upgraded to ubuntu 7.01 how to i run konquer browser anyone ??
[09:09] <Flannel> eg_linux: you want to add that to your sources.list, so you'll open a text editor with sudo, and then edit it.  sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list or gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:09] <beni> Do you have to run an organisation in order to aplly for an .org domain?
[09:09] <rollerskatejamms> beni, I don't think so.
[09:09] <kazim59> is it possible to boot the computer from an iso image file (bootable) residing on the harddisk?
[09:09] <bionoid> beni: no
[09:09] <groogs[laptop] > i'm having issues with a feisty install.. it was working fine for a week or so, a couple days ago i noticed it was locked up, so started running memtest, cpu burnin, etc, which all worked fine.. it just started getting slow again just now, and i managed to run top before the mouse stopped responding. it's still working (top updates the screen), but hald-addon-stor is using 99.5+% of CPU in R...
[09:09] <groogs[laptop] > ...state, and otherwise, the system seems frozen.. any ideas why this would happen?
[09:09] <beni> rollerskatejamms: bionoid: thanks! :)
[09:10] <DVS01> Flannel: how does the root account get disabled? mine works
[09:10] <tideline> cbs: #ubuntu-tn
[09:10] <Flannel> DVS01: The root account is disabled on install.  Unless you've re-enabled it, it doesn't work.
[09:10] <DVS01> although i do use sudo to become root, by doing sudo su -
[09:10] <Merc_Work> I have a widescreen monitor, and when i was installing ubuntu it booted up fine, and i could see the desktop etc, however when i try to boot it off the hard drive(now installed) my monitor says 'out of range' or some similar error, i was wondering if there's an option that the live cd used that i could find out so i could actually boot into my ubuntu?
[09:10] <Flannel> DVS01: `sudo -i` not sudo su.
[09:11] <kjwight> I'm running feisty 7.04, and my ENE card reader isn't mounting my SD or MS... any suggestions? I'm new to this game...
[09:11] <DVS01> Flannel: whats the difference?
[09:11] <Flannel> DVS01: and, we're talking about root logins, not the ability to get a root prompt (a la sudo -i)
[09:11] <DVS01> ah
[09:11] <DVS01> i dont think i ever tried actually logging in as root
[09:12] <DVS01> Flannel: is there an effective difference between `sudo -i` and `sudo su -`?
[09:13] <valle> I have some problems trying to configure the ip of a computer. I assign a public ip to and install apache2. localhost works fine, but when I try to access from outside it appears the routers configuration pages
[09:13] <Flannel> DVS01: the former sets up the environment more appropriately, for most uses, than the latter
[09:13] <Azzkikr> valle: deny access from WAN
[09:14] <Azzkikr> valle: did you forward the necessary ports?
[09:14] <phixnay> what command pops up a window?
[09:14] <Kisom> valle: I am able to access your apache server.
[09:14] <Flannel> valle: You'll need to port forward (port 80) to your server
[09:14] <valle> How do I forward it?
[09:14] <Amsterdam> how do i setup vnc i ubuntu so i can remote into it?
[09:15] <Kisom> valle: I am able to access your apache server.
[09:15] <Flannel> valle: You go to your routers config, and set up port forwarding
[09:15] <dyrne> Amsterdam: sudo apt-get install vncserver.
[09:15] <Azzkikr> valle: on your router configuration page, by opening a browser to your router IP
[09:15] <jason__> j
[09:15] <dyrne> Amsterdam: id do port forwarding for 5900-whatever
[09:15] <valle> then the problem is with the router, and no with the configuration
[09:15] <valle> of the ip
[09:15] <Azzkikr> valle: most possibly, yes.
[09:15] <Azzkikr> valle: well, in all likelyhood, yeha
[09:16] <Amsterdam> how do i setup user name and pw?  :dyrne
[09:16] <valle> let me try that
[09:16] <usser_> valle: what port u use for apache?
[09:16] <nickybur> do lenovo tablets use wacom pens/pen drivers?
[09:16] <Flannel> !vnc | Amsterdam
[09:16] <c0ldfr3ak> i have a problem when trying to bootup ubuntu 7.04 64BIT edition on my AMD Athlon 64 x2 System
[09:16] <ubotu> Amsterdam: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX
[09:16] <jason__> anyone on that can help with laptop resolution?
[09:17] <kazim59> ok... rephrasing the question.... is it *theoretically* possible to boot from an ISO image file from harddisk? Or is there some inherent flaw in the argument... ?
[09:17] <dyrne> jason__: /msg ubotu fixres
[09:17] <preaction> kazim59: inherent flaw
[09:17] <kazim59> preaction: explain please
[09:17] <preaction> kazim59: the BIOS knows nothing about file systems
[09:17] <kazim59> preaction: grub does...
[09:18] <Amsterdam> Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[09:18] <skar> hi, i've got feisty, and wanted reverseproxy with apache2-ssl, but seems ssl for apache2 isn't available as a package?!?
[09:18] <Amsterdam>  thats what it says when i try to install vnc
[09:18] <preaction> kazim59: after that, the bootloader would have to be set up to mount a filesystem and then mount the contents of a file on that file system
[09:18] <dyrne> kazim59: grub 0.95 and up has iso9660 support
[09:18] <kazim59> grub has got iso support...  so there must be a way out?
[09:18] <c0ldfr3ak> i placed the Ubuntu 7.04 CD that i recieved in the mail into my DVD Drive... it boots up... when i click on "Start or Install Ubuntu 7.04" it goes to another screen that says "Kernal is Live" then the next line says something about Kernal and memory and it stops doing anything there
[09:19] <kazim59> i want grub to first mount the harddisk.. then mount the iso image... then boot ...!
[09:19] <erUSUL> kazim59: do a search in google aboaut kexec
[09:19] <bionoid> kazim59: It is theoretically possible, I think you can do it in grub with fromhd=/dev/null bootfrom=/dev/hda/*.iso but don't take my word for it
[09:19] <yxairyggen> Is there anybody who knows how I got the permissions to start an X server as my regular user?
[09:19] <TheShrimp> Hello, I have a question, Right now i'm on Ubuntu 7.04 and like 5 minutes whenever I start Desktop Effects my whole system locks up and I have to unplug, is there an easy fix to this?
[09:19] <nickybur> does anybody know about wacom drivers?
[09:20] <jason__> I should rephrase my question.  I have an 855 chipset that won't go above 800x600.  I'm trying to get my resolution up.  I've tried some modeline fixes, but no luck.  Any suggestions?
[09:20] <void^> kazim59: grub boots the kernel. the kernel mounts the filesystem and the image in it. the kernel boots the image. that's just how livecds work.
[09:20] <kazim59> bionoid: so i've to create a new title in grub with these options right... thanx for the pointers
[09:20] <bsod> hiya :)
[09:20] <Amsterdam> can i user rdp with ubuntu to remote into my xp box?
[09:21] <Azzkikr> Amsterdam: yes
[09:21] <melina> Hey, I'm using ubuntu pcc, and I can't right click. I used to click with alt+trackball.
[09:21] <Azzkikr> Amsterdam: Terminal Server Client it's called
[09:21] <bsod> yes, Amsterdam
[09:21] <bionoid> jason__: not sure for 855, but for my 945 I need a package called 915resolution
[09:21] <bloodMuffin> i have this strange problem, when i install the ntfs mounter in automatix i no longer have access to my ntfs partitions, but when i uninstall it i get access but i cant write. any suggestions?
[09:21] <c0ldfr3ak> anyone wish to assist me?
[09:21] <valle> back, I think the problem is in this computer, I tried to ping on it, but It didn't answer
[09:22] <LjL> !automatix > bloodMuffin    (bloodMuffin, see the private message from Ubotu)
[09:22] <bsod> does only winxp pro support terminal server or can winxp home also be used?
[09:22] <LjL> !ntfs-3g > bloodMuffin    (bloodMuffin, see the private message from Ubotu)
[09:22] <Amsterdam> when i try it . its says no route to host
[09:22] <valle> I also ping on a windows machine changing the ip to this computer and it did answer
[09:22] <balor> What is the "blessed" SIP client in Ubuntu?
[09:22] <jason__> bio: I tried the 855resolution package, but I still can't see any resolutions higher than 8x6
[09:22] <kazim59> so its like this... to mount the iso  i need a kernel running...
[09:22] <preaction> c0ldfr3ak: you're going to have to write down the error message you're getting before we can help
[09:23] <usser_> balor matter of choice
[09:23] <bionoid> balor: ekga or something to that effect
[09:23] <jason__> is there something I should do to get my screen resolution to list more than 8x6 in the list?
[09:23] <jkhlkjhlkjhlkxzx> Is there a newbie room?
[09:23] <k_> sera
[09:23] <c0ldfr3ak> preaction: there is no error message it just stops going
[09:23] <balor> bionoid: But Ekiga is not in core.
[09:23] <k_> italia
[09:23] <Flannel> balor: Ekiga, it's already installed
[09:23] <ubuntu> ZSxasd
[09:23] <preaction> c0ldfr3ak: you said "then the next line says something about Kernal and memory and it stops doing anything there" <- what is that "something"?
[09:23] <bloodMuffin> LjL: i see, so 7.04 shouldnt need automatix to read ntfs partitions then? do i just need to change the permissions?
[09:23] <balor> Flannel: I see.  Who maintains it?
[09:24] <preaction> bloodMuffin: no, you need ntfs-3g. read the links in those messages
[09:24] <Flannel> bloodMuffin: No Ubuntu version needs automatix to read ntfs.  They all do it by default
[09:24] <Amsterdam> bsod: is there a way to make the terminal window full screen?
[09:24] <bloodMuffin> Flannel: How about write
[09:24] <c0ldfr3ak> preaction: it says "writing the kernal or something to memory. 1000000 @ 800" along those lines
[09:24] <LjL> Flannel: you need ntfs-3g to *write* to NTFS partitions, reading is by default.
[09:24] <bionoid> jason__: Hm.. Not sure, sorry. Did you try the 915resolution? It supports 855 according to man page
[09:24] <LjL> just read the link from the bot
[09:24] <Amsterdam> how do i remote into ubuntu from xp?
[09:24] <Flannel> LjL: right, he said "to read"
[09:24] <preaction> c0ldfr3ak: please, get the Exact message
[09:25] <Azzkikr> Amsterdam: using a VNC client
[09:25] <LjL> Flannel: i know sorry, i didn't mean to address you but him
[09:25] <Flannel> bloodMuffin: ntfs-3g is needed to write.  You *don't* use automatix to install it.
[09:25] <usser_> Amsterdam use vnc
[09:25] <LjL> bloodMuffin:  you need ntfs-3g to *write* to NTFS partitions, reading is by default.
[09:25] <bsod> Amsterdam: yes, at the setup you can select in the Display tab an option 'use fullscreen'
[09:25] <c0ldfr3ak> preaction: ok ill be right back
[09:25] <usser_> Amsterdam try x11vnc
[09:25] <Kevin> I recently tried to install the official nVidia drivers in ubuntu. Once installed, I was unable to boot the X server (at least using the official drivers). I can get X to boot using the "nv" driver, but that driver doesn't support OpenGL.
[09:25] <Azzkikr> Amsterdam: ultra-vnc also wors
[09:25] <valle> I assing a different ip address to a windows computer and install appserv. I can see it on the same network and from outside
[09:25] <valle> now I am trying to do the same on Ubuntu and it don't work
[09:25] <Amsterdam> Azzkikr which one should i use?
[09:25] <Flannel> balor: the package says Jose Carlos Garcia Sogo <jsogo@debian.org>
[09:26] <jason__> bio: thanks for your help
[09:26] <poningru_> anyone ever used any vnc clients?
[09:26] <Azzkikr> Amsterdam: I primarily use ultra-vlc. If you search on google on it im sure you'll find the page
[09:26] <poningru_> with a ultravnc server?
[09:26] <Flannel> balor: but, it's in main, so it's maintained by the security team and stuff
[09:26] <nickybur> :quit leaving
[09:26] <Azzkikr> Amsterdam: http://ultravlc.sourceforge.net
[09:26] <Azzkikr> Amsterdam: oops, ultravnc.sf.net
[09:27] <jackie> Hi!! I network-manager-applet won't allow me to connect to public sid's It scans correctly but when I pick one it won't connect. Very strange. iwlist scan show a huge list of possible sid's and iwconfig ra1 shows the ra1 interface coorectly configured. I tryed dhclient ra1 but won't recieve a proper lease.. While wit my laptop all is perfect!
[09:27] <bsod> Amsterdam: if you have winxp home, indeed VNC is a good solution
[09:27] <kazim59> bionoid: ur solution using bootfrom looks too simple... investigating if its possible
[09:28] <poningru_> Azzkikr/ Amsterdam what are you guys trying to do?
[09:28] <Kevin> I recently tried to install the official nVidia drivers in ubuntu. Once installed, I was unable to boot the X server (at least using the official drivers). I can get X to boot using the "nv" driver, but that driver doesn't support OpenGL.
[09:28] <Azzkikr> poningru_: Amsterdam wants vnc stuff
[09:28] <poningru_> I am trying to connect to a vnc server that is out of my control
[09:28] <Kevin> i need help :/
[09:28] <preaction> poningru_: do you have the password?
[09:28] <poningru_> ultravnc is what the windows server is using
[09:28] <bloodMuffin> hm it says that my ntfs logfile is unclean
[09:28] <poningru_> preaction, ofcourse
[09:29] <bloodMuffin> and is unable to mount any of the partitions
[09:29] <poningru_> preaction, the trouble is they are using mslogon authentication system
[09:29] <bionoid> kazim59: Well it probably is. Like I said I never tried, but it's _theoretically_ possible ;-)
[09:29] <Azzkikr> Kevin: state your question, and someone might be able to help you
[09:29] <poningru_> bloodMuffin, boot into windows and do chkdsk
[09:29] <poningru_> preaction, trying to find a client that will do that stuff except for ultravnc
[09:29] <bloodMuffin> poningru_ thank you
[09:29] <Kevin> Azzkikr I already did
[09:30] <Kevin> I recently tried to install the official nVidia drivers in ubuntu. Once installed, I was unable to boot the X server (at least using the official drivers). I can get X to boot using the "nv" driver, but that driver doesn't support OpenGL.
[09:30] <Azzkikr> Kevin: oh oops, my bad
[09:30] <kjwight> can anybody help me with my ENE multi-card reader? it won't mount anything I put in it :(

I can't get wingrub to boot ubuntu (I get a message about the bios not supporting a certain cylinder), can someone help with the wingrub config file?
[09:30] <poningru_> Kevin, why arent you letting restricted drivers management handle it?
[09:30] <preaction> c0ldfr3ak: how long do you wait before deciding to give up?
[09:30] <c0ldfr3ak> and then it stops there
[09:31] <Kevin> poningru cause the official nvidia drivers are better

[09:31] <Cryption> Can any one recommend software to implement a dock simliar to what is in Mac OS X?
[09:31] <Cryption> Can any one recommend software to implement a dock simliar to what is in Mac OS X?
[09:31] <poningru_> Cryption, kdock iirc
[09:31] <poningru_> or was it xdock
[09:31] <donblas__> random fstab question, i have a secondary hard drive i want anyone to be about to mount on /mnt/foo and everyone to have read/write access, can someone help we fix my incantation?
[09:31] <Cryption> I am in gnome
[09:31] <Cryption> not KDE
[09:31] <poningru_> Cryption, go search for dock in synaptic
[09:31] <Cryption> ok
[09:31] <Cryption> ty
[09:32] <preaction> Cryption: you can still use kdock. you can use KDE apps in Gnome and vice versa
[09:32] <Cryption> Right - I was wondering if there was a more native gtk based dock
[09:32] <Cryption> I am not a huge fan of most KDE apps
[09:32] <c0ldfr3ak> preaction: so?
[09:32] <preaction> poningru_: from google, there's a patch out there for vncviewer to support the mslogon stuff, didn't find if it was added to core.
[09:33] <preaction> c0ldfr3ak: patience?
[09:33] <kazim59> bionoid: i could not find fromhd and bootfrom in grub manual!
[09:33] <preaction> c0ldfr3ak: are you using 64bit kernel?
[09:33] <c0ldfr3ak> yes
[09:33] <c0ldfr3ak> I have an AMD 64 X2 Processor
[09:33] <donblas__> anyone mind taking a stab at my fstab question?
[09:34] <dastardly> anyone know why ktorrent downloads torrents a LOT slower on ubuntu than it did on mepis?
[09:34] <poningru_> preaction, looking
[09:34] <dastardly> i even forwarded ports, which i had not done on mepis
[09:34] <preaction> dastardly: torrents are insanely variable in their speeds
[09:34] <lmnop__> donblas__, dont ask a question concerning whether you can ask a question
[09:34] <dastardly> preaction: i know, but some popular ones like naruto episodes
[09:34] <dastardly> have always downloaded extremely fast
[09:34] <dastardly> whereas with ktorrent and ubuntu its maybe 80kbps max
[09:35] <dastardly> when before i could get up to 1mbps
[09:35] <donblas__> lmnop__: i asked my question up above but it scrolled past, and i didn't want to repost 3 lines again unless someone was interested
[09:35] <poningru_> donblas__, right click on your panel and click on add to panel

[09:36] <dastardly> mb
[09:36] <kitche> Greyhound: works fine
[09:36] <Greyhound> that's why I thought I should ask :)

[09:37] <Greyhound> really ? :)
[09:37] <Greyhound> wow
[09:37] <Greyhound> cool
[09:37] <dastardly> preaction: you know what im talking about -.-
[09:37] <Endlessguitar> your hardware does not need any restricted drivers
[09:37] <donblas__> i have a secondary hard drive i want anyone to be about to mount on /mnt/foo and everyone to have read/write access, can someone help me fix my incantation?
[09:37] <bsod> kitche: ah okay
[09:37] <Greyhound> I'm currently running xp, but I want to switch to ubuntu
[09:37] <bsod> Greyhound: sorry, it seems to work
[09:37] <c0ldfr3ak> (bsod) does GeForce 7600 GS support it?
[09:37] <unimatrix9> where can i get an ubuntu flyer?
[09:37] <kitche> I have a geforce 2 mx 440 and it works
[09:37] <Kevin> I recently tried to install the official nVidia drivers in ubuntu. Once installed, I was unable to boot the X server (at least using the official drivers). I can get X to boot using the "nv" driver, but that driver doesn't support OpenGL.
[09:37] <preaction> dastardly: mb or mB? you have to be specific here now. you said you forwarded ports, on your router? is your firewall open for the correct ports? did you try another client?
[09:37] <usser_> Greyhound: if i remember correctly i was able to run with mx400
[09:37] <Greyhound> that's great news
[09:37] <bsod> Greyhound: i switched a month ago from xp to ubuntu and i never looked back :-)
[09:37] <dastardly> preaction: i think its because it hardly connects to anyone, like currently out of 96 leachers im connected to 2
[09:37] <Greyhound> :)
[09:37] <unimatrix9> where can i get an ubuntu flyer?

[09:38] <Endlessguitar> can you help me?
[09:38] <dastardly> preaction: not sure the difference, mb vs mB? I believe its mb.. also, I have forwarded the ports on my router and have default ubuntu setup pretty much
[09:38] <dastardly> and i have tried many clients, but ktorrent works the fastest so far
[09:38] <preaction> c0ldfr3ak: one user seems to have fixed it with "noapic" in their boot options (the F6 key)
[09:38] <Endlessguitar> I need help to install my graphic card settings right the resolution is to low

[09:42] <Kevin> [X] treme-Linux i would try searching the ubuntu forums first, then I would post here, and dont post the same question more than once a minute or ubotu gets angry

[09:42] <deadeyes> I want to add a user to be able to use sudo. To which group do I need to add this user?
[09:42] <thor^^> *wrapper

[09:44] <Greyhound> which CD do I need to download to be able to run ubuntu off it before installing ?
[09:44] <preaction> thor^^: they're different systems, different people, and different policies.
[09:44] <LjL> xelados: oh, i think i've seen that, there should be a bug report - one second
[09:44] <erUSUL> Greyhound: the desktop cd
[09:44] <variant> thor^^: make a post on the forum requesting it
[09:44] <deadeyes> jrib: don't have any admin group in the passwd file:s
[09:44] <getisboy> Whenever I enable the nVidia-legacy driver with the restricted driver manager, X fails on startup. I double-checked that linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` is installed, and it is.
[09:44] <tkr_> deadeyes, if you got etc %adm    ALL=(ALL) ALL in your /etc/sudoers then it needs to be in the adm group
[09:44] <donblas__> variant: keep trying w\ the options or keep trying to get help in this channel?
[09:44] <Endlessguitar> you know
[09:44] <getisboy> Greyhound: the Desktop CD
[09:45] <Greyhound> and what's the alternate CD for ? :D
[09:45] <preaction> thor^^: better idea, go to launchpad.net for gutsy and request it
[09:45] <Endlessguitar> In windows xp is the max resolution 1440x 900
[09:45] <jrib> deadeyes: is this a desktop install?
[09:45] <deadeyes> jrib: no server
[09:45] <Endlessguitar> and here is it just 1280x800
[09:45] <jrib> deadeyes: ah, then check your /etc/sudoers
[09:45] <LjL> xelados: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sanduhr/+bug/81702
[09:45] <bsod> Endlessguitar: aha, that is probably a driver issue then? what graphics card do you have?
[09:45] <deadeyes> jrib: I have one line: root ALL=(ALL) ALL
[09:45] <variant> donblas__: pastebin your fstab
[09:45] <preaction> Endlessguitar: different drivers, and it helps when you speak in complete sentances
[09:45] <tkr_> deadeyes, add %adm    ALL=(ALL) ALL
[09:46] <Endlessguitar> I have got
[09:46] <Endlessguitar> geforce 7600
[09:46] <tkr_> deadeyes, then you can add the dude to the adm group
[09:46] <dastardly> preaction: Im looking at firestarter and I see a lot of tcp connections - is that how bitorrent sends data?
[09:46] <deadeyes> tkr_: ok, thanks
[09:46] <erUSUL> Greyhound: to install with the old text instaler no livecd (but it serves as apt repo)
[09:46] <dastardly> preaction: cause if so, I may need to forward more ports correct?
[09:46] <Greyhound> aha
[09:46] <Greyhound> thanks :)
[09:46] <Endlessguitar> I have reinstalled the linux ubuntu 3 times for I have get wrong drivers + fucked em up
[09:46] <tkr_> deadeyes, or actually whatever group you want
[09:46] <Endlessguitar> and the recovery mode dosent have worked I am a bit tired
[09:46] <Endlessguitar> so I need expert help
[09:46] <holymoomoo> Coweater thanks again, that works great
[09:46] <variant> dastardly: just forward the port you use with azureus as tcp and udp. allow in/out and thats all yyou need
[09:46] <preaction> dastardly: most things on the internet use TCP, your bittorrent client should have a setting for the port it uses. find that port and that's the only one you need to open

[09:47] <Endlessguitar> Sorry prection
[09:47] <LjL> Endlessguitar, if you mess things up by changing xorg.conf, you can *always* roll back. easily.
[09:47] <getisboy> Amsterdam: hit alt-f2 and type gconf-editor
[09:47] <Greyhound> can you run utorrent under ubuntu
[09:47] <Greyhound> ?
[09:47] <dromer> !ntfs
[09:47] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[09:47] <variant> dastardly: out is whitelistes by default with firestarter afaik
[09:47] <Greyhound> or do you need wine ?
[09:47] <preaction> dastardly: why? other clients will work fine
[09:47] <getisboy> !wine | Greyhound
[09:47] <ubotu> Greyhound: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[09:47] <dromer> !ntfs-3g
[09:47] <LjL> Endlessguitar: how does recovery mode "not work"?
[09:47] <Endlessguitar> thx LjL :S
[09:47] <dromer> !fuse
[09:47] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[09:47] <getisboy> Greyhound: you need wine

[09:47] <Endlessguitar> Dunno it coming to the restricted drivers
[09:47] <Amsterdam> getisboy:, then what?
[09:47] <dastardly> preaction: I prefer azerus, but it didnt work right so I switched to ktorrent since I had previous success.
[09:47] <Endlessguitar> when it load and  then just the computer stay still
[09:47] <Kevin> melina, you have to manually download that, its not installed
[09:48] <LjL> Endlessguitar: eh?
[09:48] <Greyhound> and do you know if it works well under wine ?
[09:48] <Endlessguitar> :S
[09:48] <melina> Kevin: package name?
[09:48] <getisboy> Amsterdam: go to Desktop, then find Remote Access
[09:48] <donblas__> variant: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20391/
[09:48] <Kevin> one sec while i dig it up
[09:48] <Greyhound> 'cause it's my favorite torrent client and I'd hate to have to let it go
[09:48] <getisboy> Amsterdam: change the value in Alternate Port, and then check off Use Alternate Port
[09:48] <bsod> Endlessguitar: please try to be very clear in what you say, it's hard for me to follow the conversiation as it is, in this busy channel
[09:48] <LjL> Greyhound: yes, it runs under Wine. never used it myself, but i know quite a few people are using it.
[09:48] <getisboy> Greyhound: it's easy to use with Wine
[09:49] <variant> Greyhound: yes, works under wine but a little unstable with the wine version my girlfriend tried
[09:49] <Endlessguitar> I said just ...
[09:49] <Greyhound> great

[09:49] <Endlessguitar> sorry

[09:49] <Kevin> melina try gnome-compiz-manager and get compiz-extra as well i think those are the names
[09:49] <AnarkiNet> any idea why ubuntu seems to be completely unresponsive when i start it up?

[09:50] <bsod> Endlessguitar: okay
[09:50] <Endlessguitar> I speaked 2 you now

[09:50] <Endlessguitar> did you get the message?
[09:50] <AnarkiNet> i'm using Ubuntu 7.0something, ina MS Virtual PC 2007 VM, and the cursor doesnt move and the keyboard doesnt work
[09:50] <root____> anyone have any ideas why my install keeps hanging on brltty-x11 ?
[09:50] <LjL> Endlessguitar: unregistered users cannot send PMs.
[09:50] <Greyhound> are the desktop effects included in the kubuntu version also ?
[09:50] <LjL> !register > Endlessguitar    (Endlessguitar, see the private message from Ubotu)
[09:50] <bsod> ohh
[09:50] <Lacrymology> I have my system installed in a smallish slowish HDD, and I have a 300GB sata, and I'd want program files and the sort to be installed there
[09:50] <LjL> Greyhound: not by default, no.
[09:50] <Lacrymology> where should I mount it?
[09:50] <bsod> nevermind then, i'm not going to the hassle of registering just yet
[09:50] <variant> i just noticed on paste.ubuntu-nl.org there is a formatting option called "brainf**k" whats that then?
[09:51] <variant> donblas__: change user to users
[09:51] <bsod> Endlessguitar: i'm not registered so forget /msg with me
[09:51] <LjL> Lacrymology: "program files"? what do you mean precisely?
[09:51] <preaction> variant: bf is an "esoteric" programming language with only 8 operators
[09:51] <Greyhound> it has to be enabled or you need to download the gnome package ?
[09:51] <donblas__> variant: i think it's a programming langange
[09:51] <LjL> Lacrymology: anything that's not your own documents or the very basic system files - is that what you mean?
[09:51] <variant> donblas__: and make sure the permissions on the files are set correctly
[09:51] <Endlessguitar> oh okej
[09:51] <Lacrymology> LjL, exactly
[09:51] <variant> preaction: strange indeed
[09:51] <Endlessguitar> I am not that too lets do it?
[09:51] <Endlessguitar> :)
[09:51] <Lacrymology> LjL, whatever takes most space.... programs' core files and the such
[09:52] <LjL> Lacrymology: then you want to mount it on /usr. but of course, you have to copy everything you currently have in /usr there (and make sure the permissions are right!)
[09:52] <bsod> sorry m8 i'm really overloaded as it is
[09:52] <Endlessguitar> Okej:S
[09:52] <preaction> variant: what's worse: they've written CGI libraries in it. there's an apache module for it. quite possibly the least understandable language ever, even if it's the simplest
[09:52] <unknown> hello everyone, can someone help me to found out why the email don't arrive to the "cur" folder, it arrive to "tmp"
[09:52] <Lacrymology> LjL, /usr, got it. I also need to think about the partition schema and put some of it under /home as well
[09:52] <Endlessguitar> anyway
[09:52] <nickrud> root____, I had that exact issue on a laptop last night (as well as earlier attempts). I have no idea why it hung up, but when I redid the install without configuring the network, it went in. Go figure.
[09:52] <Endlessguitar> preaction
[09:52] <Endlessguitar> can you help me?
[09:52] <LjL> Lacrymology: having /home as a separate partition is often a good idea.
[09:53] <guzu> how do i configure wich services to sart at boot time?
[09:53] <LjL> Lacrymology: keep in mind you should do this kind of things from recovery mode, to be on the safe side. use "cp -a" for copying
[09:53] <donblas__> variant: i tired that, no good, and the hard drive has 0 files in it outside lost+found
[09:53] <Endlessguitar> I need one link to install my graphic drivers to geforce 7600 and one guide I guess when  I ve done it self around3  times have the computer fucked up
[09:53] <nickrud> guzu, you can install the bum app, it provides a gui interface to the service startup
[09:53] <LjL> !boot > guzu    (guzu, see the private message from Ubotu)
[09:53] <Lacrymology> LjL, I know. I know. I'm kind of a (newbiish) gentoo user really but my roommate needs something that just works, thats why we moved to ubuntu.
[09:53] <variant> donblas__: what are the permissions on the partitions mount point?
[09:54] <Endlessguitar> so I havent could start ubuntu feisty fawn
[09:54] <unknown> hello everyone, can someone help me to found out why the email don't arrive to the "cur" folder, it arrive to "tmp"
[09:54] <Lacrymology> LjL, but program installation seems to be distro-dependant
[09:54] <LjL> Lacrymology: although honestly, a huge but slow external drive doesn't seem like the best of choices for a /usr partition, to me
[09:54] <guzu> NickGarvey, i don't have net, gui
[09:54] <guzu> LjL, thnx a lot
[09:54] <Lacrymology> LjL, its a 300G 1.5gbps SATA drive
[09:54] <cox37777> does anyone know the command to show the list of users that can use samba?
[09:54] <NickGarvey> guzu: hehe

[09:55] <donblas__> variant: drwxr-xr-x  3 root root              -   but if i change them and then mount they get overwritten
[09:55] <demon_spork> I am having problems installing the NVIDIA drivers for a Geforce 8800GTS, xorg crashes every time they are enalbed
[09:55] <LjL> Lacrymology: ah sorry right, i misread your description
[09:55] <Lacrymology> thanks anyways. /usr it is
[09:55] <variant> donblas__: mount then change
[09:55] <guzu> NickGarvey, sorry it was for nickrud :)
[09:55] <Kevin> demon_spork send me your video card and i will figure it out
[09:56] <Kevin> :)
[09:56] <nickrud> guzu, ah. that msg from LjL mentioned update-rc.d, it's a complete solution for you :)
[09:56] <xelados> LjL: Thanks a lot! Finally got it to work.
[09:56] <xelados> Someone should really fix that crap.. >:[
[09:56] <LjL> xelados: ugly packaging bug.
[09:57] <guzu> NickGarvey, maybe but i have no idea how to start pcmcia still ....
[09:57] <guzu> NickGarvey, sorry :)
[09:57] <guzu> nickrud, , maybe but i have no idea how to start pcmcia still ....
[09:58] <mysticalone> I need help with several things, first I accidently disabled the GDM service, and need help getting that back
[09:58] <demon_spork> kevin, it just aggravates me so much that I have that card and a computer to match it (can't help bragging, got it last friday) and I can't get a 3d driver working in Linux
[09:58] <donblas__> variant: omg, ubuntu doesn't add all users to users group
[09:58] <xelados> Weird, there are a bunch of packages that are supposedly autoremovable now
[09:58] <donblas__> variant: that was my problem, thanks
[09:58] <hedonistic> Anyone know of a freeware program that will allow me to view a full screen (more than a small thumbnail) live feed from a video camera connected via firewire?
[09:58] <xelados> libxml1, oaf, gnome-bin..
[09:58] <xelados> wtf
[09:59] <Yggdrasil> hahah
[09:59] <Kevin> demon_spork did you try looking in the ubuntu forums? I would wait around in here and ask every now ant then someones sure to come around thats been there before
[09:59] <Endlessguitar> I be  back soon anyway thx for the help bsod
[09:59] <Endlessguitar> ^
[09:59] <nickrud> guzu, I've never used pcmcia stuff, but there's a script in /etc/init.d. So, sudo update-rc.d defaults pcmciautils should do it.
[09:59] <dc2448> I have justed added a soundblaster pci card but it isn't getting picked up in fiesty - what module do I need to load?
[09:59] <dc2448> Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq Unknown device 5080
[09:59] <AnarkiNet> is anyone able to assist me?
[10:00] <linxeh> dc2448: probably the e10k1 or somesuch - depends what card it is
[10:00] <demon_spork> !ask | AnarkiNet
[10:00] <ubotu> AnarkiNet: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[10:00] <AnarkiNet> i already asked
[10:00] <Enverex|LT> How well is the Intel HDA onboard soundcard currently supported in ALSA?
[10:00] <AnarkiNet> nobody paid any attention
[10:00] <linxeh> dc2448: you might need to look at the creative pcb number printed on the card itself and look it up on the alsa website
[10:00] <Be-snd> anybody has a conexant sound card?
[10:00] <Szymon> hello folks, anyone here familiar with setting up an nVidia card with a 1680x1050 resolution??? i could really use some help :)
[10:00] <elektronik123> czesc
[10:00] <donblas__> AnarkiNet: repeat it then :)
[10:00] <AnarkiNet> i'm using Ubuntu 7.0something, ina MS Virtual PC 2007 VM, and the cursor doesnt move and the keyboard doesnt work
[10:00] <dc2448> Thanks guys
[10:00] <vanisher> is anyone else getting this issue? I just installed 7.04 on my laptop, and I cannot change my X resolution from 1280x1024
[10:00] <elektronik123> witam
[10:00] <guzu> nickrud, yes, it's pcmciautils but in wich runlevel should i start it? 1?
[10:01] <donblas__> Szymon: did you try nvidia-settings already?
[10:01] <elektronik123> mam problem
[10:01] <AnarkiNet> i have to boot in "safe graphics mode", otherwise the VM screen is corrupted
[10:01] <nickrud> guzu, just use the defaults: that will set it up to start in 1-5 (ubuntu only uses 2)
[10:01] <kazim59> vanisher: have such problem with dapper.... can't change resolution!
[10:01] <variant> donblas__: it does
[10:01] <nickrud> guzu, erm, 2-5 that is
[10:01] <Szymon> @donblas what do you mean? all ive done so far is enabled restricted device or something
[10:01] <vanisher> kazim59, hmm, did you ever figure it out?
[10:01] <demon_spork> AnarkiNet, what type of machine are you using?
[10:01] <AnarkiNet> huh?
[10:02] <donblas__> variant: ?
[10:02] <demon_spork> specifications
[10:02] <AnarkiNet> its running in a virtual machine
[10:02] <Szymon> @donblas how do i access nvidia settings?
[10:02] <raynaqzo> hello
[10:02] <AnarkiNet> AMD Athlon64 FX-55 (2.6ghz), 2GB of ram (512MB allocated to VM)
[10:02] <AnarkiNet> host OS is Windows Vista x64 Ultimate
[10:02] <zach> how can i make it so a certian user doesn't need to put in the root password when using sudo?
[10:02] <demon_spork> ok
[10:02] <vanisher> here is the link to my xorg.conf
[10:02] <vanisher> http://www.vkarlsen.no/pastebin/ViewPaste.aspx?id=7983
[10:02] <donblas__> Szymon: ok, what kind of nvidia card do you have? do you have the propritary drivers installed/
[10:02] <vanisher> looks ok to me, but for some reason, I'm stuck in 1280x1024
[10:03] <leftcase> zach: Are you sure that's wize ;-)
[10:03] <kazim59> vanisher: no... coz  i m a bit lazy.. and the resolution i m using is comfortable.. its 1280 by 1024.. and i can't make it bigger or smaller... ubuntu crashes!
[10:03] <guzu> nickrud, oh, they are already starting, it seems
[10:03] <AnarkiNet> GFX card is NVidia 6800 GT (x2), with 160.03 x64 vista drivers, and i can virtualize other stuff, just not ubuntu
[10:03] <zach> yes i have it setup like that in gentoo.....just forget how i did it and that computer isn't aroundanymore :)
[10:03] <demon_spork> AnarkiNet, I was afraid you might be trying to use a p4 1.4 or something like that, now after the system requirements, I don't know what else could be wrong
[10:03] <donblas__> Szymon: and you can just put "donblas: " at the beginning of the line, instead of an @
[10:03] <vanisher> kazim59, hmm that sucks. I can't live with this res though :(
[10:04] <Phab> can someone help me get s-video working?
[10:04] <Szymon> donblas: well I'm using nVidia GeForce 6600GT, i ran "Restricted Devices Manager" and enabled my video card, and it shows that it's running all nice and fine...
[10:04] <markok765> vanisher: i have good res on my laptop, not so good on my computer
[10:04] <Szymon> donblas: other than that i havent done anything else, the restricted devices manager info is the only useful bit that i could find and make sense of
[10:04] <kazim59> vanisher: do you want to decrease ur resolution?
[10:04] <nickrud> guzu, I guess you're right, I looked in the wrong place: they're started in /etc/rcS.d
[10:04] <donblas__> Szymon: alright, first thing open a console
[10:04] <iax> hi
[10:05] <zach> anyone?
[10:05] <Szymon> donblas: got it
[10:05] <Greyhound> are there any MAJOR differences between ubuntu and kubuntu, aside from them using different desktop environments ?
[10:05] <donblas__> Szymon: nvidia-settings
[10:05] <Crane_> vanisher: try adding you vert and horz refrash rates under monitor settings
[10:05] <usser_> Greyhound not really
[10:05] <xelados> Greyhound: Those should be the only differences.
[10:05] <xelados> Aside from built-in software
[10:05] <Szymon> donblas: oooooo this is good :)
[10:05] <xelados> A server install from both should be identical.
[10:05] <donblas__> Szymon: alright
[10:05] <donblas__> Szymon: woops, before you mess with that, exit out
[10:05] <guzu> nickrud, thank you very much, in the next halfanhour, the notebook is rebooting :)
[10:06] <leftcase> zach:EDITOR=gedit sudo visudo USERNAME ------- ALL=(ALL) ALL to ------ USERNAME ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
[10:06] <Szymon> donblas: exit what where huh? :)
[10:06] <donblas__> Szymon: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:06] <MenZa> Isn't it possible to use a higher resolution than 1600x1200 (1800x1440)?
[10:06] <Puppy_> does anyone know a website that would tell you compatible accessories for Ubuntu/linux?
[10:06] <zach> leftcase: nano, but thanks a lot!
[10:06] <Kevin> demon_spork check out this thread, i did not read the whole thing, but judging from the name of the thread and by the page the link carries you to, someone may have figured it out. look at at post #54   http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=413961&page=6
[10:06] <Greyhound> so which one is more user-friendly.. more entertaining ?... I just can't decide if I want the taskbar at the bottom or on top of the screen :))
[10:06] <Crane_> Puppy_: do a goolgle search for HCL
[10:06] <donblas__> Szymon: do that in case it screws up your config and you need to backup, then play around with that applet
[10:06] <leftcase> zach: NP
[10:06] <Crane_> hardware compatibility list
[10:07] <vanisher> kazim59, yes to 1400x1050
[10:07] <kazim59> dpkg-reconfigure xserver or something helps.. vanisher
[10:07] <Szymon> donblas: gotcha, thanks so much!!! :-)
[10:07] <demon_spork> kevin thx, I am checking it out now
[10:07] <donblas__> Szymon: just learned how to this morning, glad to help
[10:07] <vanisher> Crane_, I don't know what they are honestly,
[10:07] <cjae> Greyhound, aside from a lot of things ubuntu is are gnome related and I know that it should not matter anymore about running a gtk (gnome)app in qt environment but sometimes it causes issues
[10:07] <vanisher> kazim59, hm I'll try it
[10:07] <Puppy_> Crane_: what is HCL?
[10:07] <Szymon> donblas: and now i learned, so ill be in here helping out when i can too ;-)
[10:07] <cbs> hydrochloric acid
[10:08] <Crane_> Puppy_: Hardware compatibilty List
[10:08] <Puppy_> Crane_: Thank you!!!!
[10:08] <Kevin> mmmm hydrochloric acid
[10:08] <ubuntu_> join/ #fedora
[10:08] <Szymon> wooo yes..... finally 1680x1050 resolution... feels so right
[10:08] <Crane_> vanisher: you will need to search the web and find out what the setting should be
[10:08] <Kevin> good chit there
[10:08] <Crane_> np Puppy_
[10:08] <vanisher> kazim59, do you know the exact command?
[10:08] <cjae> Greyhound, I personally just TRY to install on gtk apps in gnome and qt apps in kde
[10:09] <kazim59> i cannot find this option... anybody knows about bootfrom option (and fromhd..) ? are these grub commands or some other software?
[10:09] <Crane_> vanisher: be sure you get the right ones. as the wrong settings could damage the monitor
[10:09] <iax> hi everybody, could someone give me an advice how to get hardware acceleration working with my ati graphic card
[10:09] <LjL> !ati
[10:09] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[10:09] <righthooter> iax: what card u have?
[10:09] <lizardmenke> how do I run a script at shutdown??
[10:09] <Crane_> kazim59: Boot from? as in CD, HD, floppy
[10:09] <cjae> Greyhound, if you use automatix you will find a lot of the apps are gnome only
[10:09] <iax> ATI Radeon X1950 Pro
[10:10] <Greyhound> aha
[10:10] <iax> fglrx drivers are already installed
[10:10] <dave> has anyone used skype in linux?
[10:10] <LjL> a solution for that is not using automatix
[10:10] <Neil-> hey guys i cant play any movies in firefox
[10:10] <Neil-> ie happytreefriends
[10:10] <righthooter> iax: did u do aticonfig?
[10:10] <Neil-> Flash is fine, what should i do?
[10:10] <leftcase> dave: Yeah, but it's audio only :-(
[10:10] <dyrne> dave: /msg ubotu skype
[10:10] <iax> aticonfig --initial
[10:10] <dave> leftcase; yea thats fine - but i have a question

[10:10] <dave> i need to input some "meeting password"
[10:11] <|thunder> Neil-; use synaptic and isntall xine and plugins for FF
[10:11] <righthooter> iax do cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep fglrx
[10:11] <dave> and in windows - i used to just type the numbers, and it would beep like a phone does when you push numbers
[10:11] <DiMiTRiS> Hello I have a small question. I have setup lirc but mplayer complaints that it cant find the .lircrc file in my home dir. Is there a way to create one?
[10:11] <cjae> yes automatix does break a lot of things but can be very convient
[10:11] <dave> but in linux it doesn't do that, and hence doesn't let me in to the meeting
[10:11] <dave> haha
[10:11] <righthooter> iax paste the output
[10:11] <cjae> it is getting better in some regards
[10:11] <Neil-> donblas__: Used to be able to before feisty...
[10:11] <|thunder> wtf are these ? fcdsl2, fcdslsl, fcdslslusb, fcdslusb, fcdslusb2, fcpci (AVM ISDN)
[10:11] <Meshez> heya, when I put a usb drive (thumbdrive) it is mounted automatically, I can copy files from it using the gui, but how do I find it on the console?
[10:11] <pescez> hi everybody
[10:12] <Crane_> hello
[10:12] <righthooter> hey
[10:12] <|thunder> Meshez; lok in /media
[10:12] <donblas__> Neil-: did you use a dist-upgrade? i would try what Jthunder suggested
[10:12] <Meshez> er, is the correct term console, terminal, or command prompt?
[10:12] <iax> okay
[10:12] <pescez> can anyone tell me how to change the name of a usb pendrive?
[10:12] <makuseru> hi, i have a problem, i had a HP DVD writer and ive tried diffrent programs and diffrent brands of dvds, but it never burns one correctly, i always get errors, someone said K3B had a problem with HP writers, but ive tried more than just k3b, i dont need anything special for hp writers do i?
[10:12] <Meshez> |thunder: thanks! it is there :)
[10:12] <Neil-> donblas__: I let it run through the update manager
[10:12] <Greyhound> I saw iTunes in a list of programs that should work in ubuntu and also I noticed in a screnshot an app that works with the iPod.. has anyone used those ?
[10:12] <|thunder> Meshez; np
[10:12] <root____> arrrrgh!! my install hangs with "Installed brltty-x11", this person has my same problem, can any one help? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2595062
[10:12] <iax> Driver "fglrx"
[10:13] <cjae> you know installing it is good but just to set up repos for you and to show you a list of apps to download then just use apt-get or even better aptitude
[10:13] <dyrne> Greyhound: gtkpod works fine
[10:13] <pescez> Greyhound, use amarok
[10:13] <righthooter> Greyhound !amarok > Greyhound
[10:13] <Crane_> gtkpod for Ipod as well as Rhytmbox and many others
[10:13] <righthooter> !amarok
[10:13] <ubotu> Amarok is an audio player for Linux with an intuitive interface. The latest version is 1.4.3 for Dapper and 1.4.5 for Edgy and packages are  available for Kubuntu at www.kubuntu.org See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Amarok
[10:13] <Neil-> |thunder: What plugin am i looking for?
[10:13] <Meshez> what is the correct term for the black command screen? is it: "command line", "terminal", or "console" ??? or can these 3 be used interchangeably?
[10:13] <beni> is regex /,$/ the right one if it should math words with an , at the end like "asd," etc?
[10:13] <Greyhound> and what do they do ? they manage the iPod like iTunes ?
[10:13] <dyrne> Greyhound: i had issues with playlists in that when i made one it had to be drug to the top for ipod to see it
[10:13] <LjL> beni: at the end of the *line*
[10:13] <|thunder> Neil-; xine firefox, you need to install xine as well as the plugins
[10:13] <dave> so no one knows how to make the phone tone sounds for skype?
[10:13] <DARKGuy> hey, how can I configure my screensaver settings? I can choose screensavers but I miss the configuration dialog that was in Edgy :(
[10:14] <righthooter> Greyhound: amarok is killer player, best audio player ever for any OS
[10:14] <beni> LjL: but the string is only one word
[10:14] <gregorovius> Hi... how can I make my NTFS partitions not automount? I've got it set as noauto in fstab, but it still gets mounted at boot
[10:14] <Neil-> |thunder: I dont see that there..
[10:14] <Neil-> I alread have xine tho
[10:14] <LjL> beni: then it will work, but remember $ in general matches end-of-line, not end-of-word
[10:14] <smartytek> hi , help.how can I copy my bacula from my server to my new lab server?
[10:14] <Greyhound> and does the iPod appear as a removable storage unit if the "enable disk drive" option is enabled in iTunes ?
[10:14] <beni> LjL: yeah of course, the formulation of my question was a bit bad ;) thanks!
[10:15] <Greyhound> so that it can be browsed in the file manager
[10:15] <|thunder> Neil-; then you dont have univers enabled. sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list                       then remove the # in front of the other repos that are commented out. sudo apt-get update. then look in synaptic again
[10:15] <leperkhanz> when is .9.37 wine gonna be in synaptic?
[10:15] <iax> righthooter: output is: Driver "fglrx"
[10:15] <LjL> beni: also, the regexp is just  ,$   - those // you used look like part of a sed command
[10:15] <pescez> can anyone tell me how to change the name of a usb pendrive? #2
[10:15] <dave> oh haha i'm retarded sorry , i found the dial pad hahahahahahaha
[10:15] <DARKGuy> hey, how can I configure my screensaver settings? I can choose screensavers but I miss the configuration dialog that was in Edgy :(
[10:15] <Neil-> |thunder: Universe is already enabled
[10:15] <Neil-> xine firefox isnt listed..
[10:15] <beni> LjL: yeh, but in need the slashes for preg_replace (php) ;)
[10:15] <righthooter> iax: and what about glxinfo | grep direct
[10:16] <|thunder> Neil-; hang, ill look
[10:16] <dave> ok i have an actual question then lol
[10:16] <dave> my mic is not working
[10:16] <dave> it is in like "loopback" mode
[10:16] <dave> where i can hear through the speakesr what the mic is picking up
[10:16] <dave> but something liek skype or a wav recorder doesn't work
[10:16] <donblas__> alright guys, thanks for the help
[10:16] <Neil-> |thunder: thanks
[10:16] <dave> in windows when you go the "sound settings", there is a "recording tab that gives all the mic options
[10:17] <dave> like to change from line-in to mic and stuff like that
[10:17] <smartytek>  help.how can I copy my bacula from my server to my new lab server?
[10:17] <dave> i'd image that's the same problem here, but i dont know how to do it in GNOME
[10:17] <dave> anyone follow? haha
[10:17] <guzu> dave alsamixer in terminal , maybe
[10:17] <kazim59> OK.... fromhd=/dev/null and bootfrom=/dev/hda1/*.iso is really a way to boot from an iso image on harddisk!
[10:18] <righthooter> kazim59: why u need that if its not a secret?
[10:19] <Neil-> |thunder: Actually, it does work, but sits on connecting.. could be a proxy issue as im forced through a http proxy.... hm
[10:19] <dave> hmm its a cool interface.. but still dont know how to "turn on " the mic
[10:19] <Neil-> firefox is set up right tho, where would movie player get the proxy config from?
[10:19] <iax> righthooter: i just did a "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" now i have direct rendering = yes but i get these screen artifacts: http://iax.ia.funpic.de/bilder/Bildschirmphoto2.png
[10:19] <|thunder> Neil-; sudo apt-get install gxine gxineplugin libxine1 libxine1-console lxine1-ffmpeg libxine1-gnome libxine1-kde libxine1-plugins  totem totem-xine
[10:19] <righthooter> http://iax.ia.funpic.de/bilder/Bildschirmphoto2.png
[10:20] <aleksanteri> what's the command to show what nvidia version i am using?
[10:20] <Neil-> |thunder: All already installed, or not found
[10:21] <Neil-> might be proxy settings, where do i specify for xine?
[10:21] <kazim59> righthooter: actually this way you can test ur Linux iso images without burning them... and more.... when you boot from harddisk iso image its faster!!
[10:21] <xelados> Does anyone know why Synaptic is telling me these packages are auto-removable and unneeded? http://mystic.de4th.com/stuff/Screenshot.png

[10:32] <lmnop__> just a dumb irc question, but like can the same channel be on two different servers?
[10:32] <DVS01> kazim59: not sure how ubuntu does it, but there are several solutions including mounttero, autofs, subfs
[10:32] <kazim59> DVS01: seems like its usb-storage module
[10:32] <gaten> MarkeH: ok, you'll need to set the permissions to be 777 on that drive (read-write-execute)
[10:32] <gaten> lmnop__: yes
[10:32] <LjL> lmnop__: yeah, an IRC network is composed, usually, of many different servers. we're on the Freenode network here.
[10:32] <dxdemetriou> Is there some fix to do /dev/dsp with dmix? Some programs don't work with aoss etc.
[10:32] <LjL> Yggdrasil: bit radical...
[10:32] <kazim59> DVS01: plug a usb drive and see dmesg | tail -20
[10:32] <MarkeH> ta gaten
[10:33] <Yggdrasil> LjL i had it set up that way because it originaly was dual boot, when i was afraid of linux

[10:33] <gaten> MarkeH: you're welcome
[10:33] <LjL> Yggdrasil: while you're there, my suggestion would be to make a separate /home partition.
[10:33] <Yggdrasil> ljl really
[10:33] <punkass> did anybody have the same thing? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=407185
[10:33] <Yggdrasil> intersting i might just do that
[10:33] <LjL> Yggdrasil: helps quite a bit if you, for some reason, decide to reinstall from scratch
[10:34] <Yggdrasil> mhmm
[10:34] <felixx> anyone know what the program is to capture ? i want to make a vid of Ubuntu in action
[10:34] <Yggdrasil> what partition should it be ?
[10:34] <LjL> Yggdrasil: where in the drive, you mean?
[10:34] <Neil-> how can I make xine play realplayer without installing crappy realplayer itself?
[10:34] <dxdemetriou> I have problem with vmplayer that doesn't support anything else than dsp, and don't work with aoss
[10:34] <Crane_> LjL: Make it /home

[10:35] <gaten> punkass: are your firewall rules set correctly on all the machines?
[10:35] <Yggdrasil> LjL yea like sda1=/ sda2 =swap sda3 home ?
[10:35] <aubade> m0u5e: You mean the default for when opening audio files or for hotkeys?
[10:35] <cox37777> cjae: was there anything on that link provided?

[10:36] <cjae> cox37777, checking
[10:36] <ed_> what can i do to solve the problem of connecting to ssh 1.9 from ubuntu feisty ssh client?
[10:36] <LjL> Yggdrasil, my setup is 1=swap, 2=root, 3=home. that's mainly because most drives are faster at the (logical) beginning. but i doubt it really matters *that* much
[10:36] <ed_> i get "Cannot determine realm for numeric host address" in debug when connecting
[10:36] <Yggdrasil> ljl ok ill do that
[10:36] <LjL> Yggdrasil: 1=root is probably a more manageable choice (as in, logical)
[10:36] <Crane_> underwatercow: I believe it is in gconf
[10:36] <Yggdrasil> mhmm yuea thats what i was thinking
[10:36] <m0u5e> i mean default
[10:36] <Yggdrasil> and then swap 2 ?
[10:36] <punkass> yes, everything works on the same computer only with winxp
[10:37] <LjL> Yggdrasil: well, i wouldn't move swap *too* far towards the end of the drive, so yeah
[10:37] <m0u5e> but not only that, i also need to configure it so that when i right click it gives me the option of "adding to playlist"
[10:37] <gaten> ed_: are you connecting to a hostname or ip
[10:37] <punkass> gaten: i can't understand why its not working ....
[10:37] <m0u5e> i can currently do it manually, but how do i set it up so that i can incorporate it into nautilus?
[10:37] <ed_> gaten: ip
[10:37] <gaten> punkass: i don't know, im using feisty and it works, but i remember it not working in dapper ...
[10:38] <gaten> ed_: is it on your internal network?
[10:38] <cjae> cox37777, CDFS
[10:38] <aleksanteri> http://pastebin.ca/483633 - anyone help?
[10:38] <Yggdrasil> LJL ill let you know, i had to pull the dam drive out and stick it into a laptop wit ha cd drive ;( cuz i totaly freid it
[10:38] <DVS01> kazim59: it seems that HAL is what does the auto mounting

[10:39] <ed_> gaten, 1.9
[10:39] <ferret_0567> That was a question of mine, too
[10:39] <kazim59> DVS01: maybe
[10:40] <ed_> gaten, Remote protocol version 1.99, remote software version OpenSSH_4.2
[10:40] <ferret_0567> screencasts...let's see...
[10:40] <kazim59> DVS01: automounting must be provided by some kernel module i believe
[10:40] <ed_> gaten, debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.3p2 Debian-8ubuntu1
[10:40] <DVS01> kazim: yes, the one that autofs uses
[10:41] <gaten> ed_: that might be the problem, ubuntu supplied ssh only supports 2. you might have to do a work around to connect to <2
[10:41] <ed_> gaten, oh, what might the work around entail?
[10:41] <__mikem> Does anyone know why when I installed ubuntu from the alternate instal cd's I don't get a boot splash screen when I run ubuntu
[10:41] <ferret_0567> What device should I use to interface my Xbox 360 controller with my PC?
[10:41] <kazim59> DVS01: if you see the modules being used.. they are usbcore.. usb-storage.. cdc-acm (for usb modem)
[10:41] <iax> hi everyone, i've got these strange artifacts with my X1950 Pro using frglx drivers http://iax.ia.funpic.de/bilder/Bildschirmphoto2.png does anyone have an idea what i could do to get rid of them?
[10:42] <siloko> Hello Ubuntu dudes :)
[10:42] <bootsmorris> does anyone here know much about open office
[10:42] <__mikem> hello siloko
[10:42] <righthooter> siloko hey dude
[10:42] <felixx> Flannel: can you recomend which proggy to use? like "recordmydesktop"?
[10:42] <bootsmorris> particurly the database program
[10:42] <gaten> ed_: not sure. might just be a /etc/ssh_config issue, or might be something else
[10:43] <ed_> gaten, i spent a couple of mornings looking through the ssh_config man page but all i saw was "-1", but that didnt appear to help
[10:43] <gaten> ed_: in my /etc/ssh/ssh_config, the line "#Protocol 2,1" exists and looks like it should work, so i donno
[10:43] <aubade> felixx: recordmydesktop
[10:44] <gaten> ed_: try changing it to just 1 and remove the #, see if that helps. did you google for that specific error message?
[10:44] <aubade> There's a GTK front-end to it, called gtk-recordmydesktop, if you don't mind Gnome libs.
[10:44] <aleksanteri> !hi | siloko
[10:44] <ubotu> siloko: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[10:44] <Flannel> felixx: Believe XVidCap is the one with the howto (the RecordingScreencasts link above that-- ignore the virtualization bit at the top)
[10:44] <ed_> gaten, i did one search. hang on, -1 works, but i cant use the RSA key. this is weird
[10:45] <ed_> gaten, does protocol 1 not have ssh keys?
[10:45] <SuperMike> Anyone here hook up there Xbox 360 controller to their PC?
[10:45] <__mikem> Flannel, would you happen to know why I don't get a nice screen when ubuntu is starting
[10:45] <siloko> Does anyone know how to remove the partition listing from Nautilus?
[10:45] <gaten> ed_: they are different from ssh-v2, b/c v1 is vulnerable to MITM attacks
[10:45] <felixx> thanks again
[10:45] <ed_> gaten, does protocol 1 not have ssh keys?
[10:45] <m0u5e> siloko: i have no idea... i'd like to know that too :)
[10:45] <kazim59> :-)
[10:45] <gaten> ed_: it does, but i believe ssh2 handles them differently
[10:46] <ed_> ah ok.. might explain why it's not working
[10:46] <chrisjs169|brb> i'm trying to figure out what's wrong with my friend's GDM installation...it doesn't seem to be running properly.  When using VNC, I see a GNOME looking background, but no text/icons (although the mouse appears)
[10:46] <siloko> m0u5e: really annoying - especially when you have a million partitions ;)
[10:46] <chrisjs169|brb> any ideas?
[10:46] <m0u5e> i just wanna figure out how i can set my xmms player to have a "add to playerlist" mode... i can do it manually using "xmms -e -Q" but i want to incorporate it into nautilus :(
[10:46] <ed_> gaten, i wouldn't mind so much but i have to take a firewall offline to upgrade the ssh, since it's openbsd, doing a system upgrade normally means booting it
[10:47] <m0u5e> hmm ubuntu comes with crappy mouse drivers
[10:47] <m0u5e> its not detecting my intellimouse sidebuttons :(
[10:47] <dave> is there a difference between installing java in the "add/remove applications"
[10:47] <m0u5e> anyone know where i can find intellimouse driver support?
[10:47] <Flannel> !mouse | m0u5e
[10:47] <ubotu> m0u5e: Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto  - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto
[10:47] <gaten> ed_: oy. yeah, i would upgrade the ssh, ssh1 is very bad to use. thats why ubuntu doesnt even ship w. it
[10:48] <m0u5e> ooh awesome
[10:48] <kazim59> nautilus crashes without errors
[10:48] <Flannel> m0u5e: you don't need driver support, just config to use thm
[10:48] <ferret_0567> SuperMike: maybe #linux has an answer
[10:48] <u2k7> how do I restart the desktop??
[10:48] <__mikem> Flannel did you get my question?
[10:48] <m0u5e> oh chill, i was looking around but i guess i missed it
[10:48] <aubade> m0u5e: u2k7 Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
[10:48] <ed_> gaten, it's not so much that... it used to work, i dont know why it's stopped working
[10:48] <dave> or installing it from the .bin into /usr/java
[10:48] <aubade> Err, -m0u5e. hehe
[10:48] <u2k7> aubade, I mean the desktop with icons alone
[10:48] <Flannel> __mikem: I have no idea

[10:52] <cmihai> Hi. I'm trying to get stable (real) transparency  in yakuake 2.7.5 (KDE 3.5.6 in Ubuntu Feisty). Can't get it to stay the same after the first session. Basically on first run, yakuake has real transparency, every other time, it won't. I tried Special Applications Settings - Force too. Any ideas?
[10:52] <Malachi> I think dyrne was talking to me.
[10:53] <Pollywog> !parallels > pollywog
[10:53] <Malachi> cox37777: It's sudo aptitude remove xubuntu-desktop
[10:53] <ubuntu_> asd
[10:53] <kalpik> cox37777, sudo aptitude remove xubuntu-desktop
[10:53] <makuseru> Crane_: Invalid field in command HP DVD Writer 200j (H:0 T:0) is the error
[10:53] <ubuntu_> scusatemi
[10:53] <ubuntu_> ho bisogno di aiuto XD
[10:53] <Malachi> cox37777: However, if you didn't use aptitude to install xubuntu desktop, you'll still have those packages that installed left.
[10:54] <Malachi> cox37777: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome
[10:54] <Pollywog> is there some special procedure for installing Parallels virtualization software on an Ubuntu system?
[10:54] <Nergar> hello
[10:54] <boubbin_> !dvd
[10:54] <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
[10:54] <aubade> ^ Aptitude should pick up dependencies no-longer needed, granted he used it to install the meta-package to begin with.
[10:54] <cox37777> Malachi: will that link have a way of fulkly remov9ing
[10:54] <Malachi> cox37777: If you used apt-get or synaptic, yes.
[10:54] <m0u5e> gah i pressed alt ctrl f1 without first reading how to get out of it...
[10:54] <Malachi> Find the Remove Xubuntu section, cox37777
[10:55] <Malachi> Boy, that's a name to type.
[10:55] <Flannel> Malachi, cox37777: apt-get has autoremove now.  You can use that.
[10:55] <cox37777> Malachi: n1
[10:55] <Malachi> Oh? Flannel: I never had much luck with that, especially today when I tried removing ubuntu studio
[10:55] <cox37777> Flannel: what would be the command mate?
[10:55] <m0u5e> does anyone know why tab mix plus doesnt work well?
[10:55] <DOoM> what is the ubuntu's french channel?
[10:55] <aubade> 'apt-get autoremove xubuntu-desktop' or 'apt-get autoremove xubuntu-desktop' for whichever you used, can pass the --purge switch to either to remove system-wide configs.
[10:55] <jacque1> if 'aplay -l' identifies my sound card, is it a common problem for the soundcard not to play any sound?
[10:56] <m0u5e> i have x window problems... they're blank windows that are really small
[10:56] <DOoM> what is the ubuntu's french channel? please :)
[10:56] <vox754> !fr
[10:56] <aubade> jacque1: Sure none of the channels are toggled off or at 0%?
[10:56] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.

[10:57] <cox37777> aubade: giving it a go
[10:57] <gaten> m0u5e: can you explain a little better?
[10:57] <jacque1> aubade: which channels do I check?  I can give you a summary of the ones that are enabled....
[10:58] <jacque1> or would it be better for those disabled
[10:58] <aubade> Master, PCM and Wave are pretty commonly the ones.
[10:58] <ragu> Helo, do anyone here have Joost invitation ?
[10:58] <Jhegs[o_O] > where can I get driver SIM CARD
[10:58] <Nergar> how can i correct the resolution on my lappy?
[10:59] <makuseru> hi, i have a problem, i had a HP DVD writer and ive tried diffrent programs and diffrent brands of dvds, but it never burns one correctly, i always get errors, someone said K3B had a problem with HP writers, but ive tried more than just k3b, i dont need anything special for hp writers do i?

[10:59] <ubotu> ragu: Unsure how you should behave on this channel? See !AskTheBot, !CoC, !Guidelines, !Offtopic, !Language, !Attitude, !Repeat, !Enter, !Paste, !NickSpam - and most importantly, use common sense :-)
[11:00] <JMV290> Ragu,   I am also wondering the same thing.   I doubt anyone here would just come out and say they have them  They'd get flooded with requests.
[11:00] <ragu> ubotu: Sorry for my message. Was just asking. Anyone, I'll revoke my messages. Again, sorry abt that.
[11:01] <makuseru> aubade: HP dvd200i
[11:01] <jacque1> aubade : are those channels ok?  they are all at least 50%
[11:02] <aubade> jacque1: Would tell to make sure the channels aren't muted but I'm not that familiar with Gnome's volume control. :\
[11:02] <variant> aubade: alsamixergui
[11:02] <ed_> demon_spork, don't break that.. its probably useful for a dumb terminal
[11:02] <Flannel> !sound | aubade
[11:02] <ubotu> aubade: 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
[11:03] <aubade> Flannel: ??
[11:03] <demon_spork> ed, I could sell it to a museum
[11:03] <jacque1> aubade: the channels you identified (and the ones identified aren't muted.
[11:03] <Flannel> aubade: oh, jacque1.  Sorry.
[11:03] <JMV290> Has anyone tried Wubi Yet?  Is it worth installing?    I don't want to make a new partition until I upgrade my laptop's harddrive.
[11:03] <ferronica> i am unable to minimize and maximize window and unable to resize window
[11:03] <jacque1> aubade: i'm using alsamixer to determine the status...
[11:04] <aubade> A'ight. You could always try enabled every channel and turning 'em up.
[11:04] <robban> I have a bunch of files coming from windows. They contain spaces. How can I remove them in a simple way?
[11:04] <aubade> Minus the obvious ones like mac, line-out, external amp, etc.
[11:04] <aubade> What card/chipset is it anyhow?
[11:04] <cbs> do searches of hard drives take a long time?
[11:04] <soundray> ferronica: your metacity must have crashed. Change to a console, log in and run 'DISPLAY=:0 metacity'
[11:05] <aubade> cbs: Depends on the size of the volume. :)
[11:05] <eck> robban: what do you mean 'they contain spaces'?
[11:05] <ed_> demon_spork, old hardware is great. sometimes it's useful. i love dumb terminals there's a lot of histroy in that hardware
[11:05] <cbs> well, its about 120gb, plenty of files...but it seems like its just sitting there
[11:05] <Yggdrasil> ljl the installer refused to accept /home for the third part, i jsut put it all on one ;(
[11:05] <jacque1> thanks flannel, i'll have a look at those links...
[11:05] <ed_> demon_spork, and sometimes, if you have to use Sun Sparks, you actually need something with a serial port because there's no vga on those
[11:05] <aubade> Probably take a while, really depends on what kind of criteria you're searching by.
[11:05] <ferronica> soundray: i have just unchecked "window Wobble when moved" and used ubuntu Theme
[11:05] <robban> eck: Well like "My Music"
[11:06] <DangerDaz> Hi there, i'm sorry to be a pain, you obviously get enough questions in here, but i just switch to ubuntu from vista, i just shrunk my vista partition and had to copy my ubuntu ext3 filesystem into the new partition, so now i've got a 20GB ext3 drive and a 120GB ext3 drive, the 20GB one is currently the active one in ubuntu, is there a way to make ubuntu use the 120GB one as the main one?
[11:06] <olrrai_> hello guys
[11:06] <olrrai_> how can I use alt+126 ?
[11:06] <soundray> ferronica: okay, if you're using beryl or compiz, forget my advice
[11:06] <jdraper> use ratpoison
[11:06] <travis> anyone here use webex and see desktop sharing view stopped working after xorg updates?
[11:06] <jdraper> that will be ur problems
[11:06] <jdraper> fix
[11:06] <jdraper> i mean
[11:06] <ed_> olrrai_, hold alt button and press 126 on the keypad then lift the alt button
[11:06] <godd4242> good evening all
[11:06] <Lordveda> Is there a devel branch for ubuntu???
[11:07] <olrrai_> it dont work ? it is disabled
[11:07] <eck> robban: you want files to have no spaces in the names?
[11:07] <godd4242> I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on how to compile from source.
[11:07] <eck> robban: you can just escape the spaces with \ or use "" around the word
[11:07] <robban> eck: Correct
[11:07] <ferronica> soundray: no i am not using beryl, using Desktop effects which is in system - preferences - Desktop Effects.
[11:07] <Lordveda> I need to add some repositories for ubuntu
[11:07] <eck> robban: e.g. ls "My Music"
[11:07] <soundray> ferronica: you're using compiz then.
[11:07] <variant> eck: for i in $(ls -1 *)
[11:07] <variant> do
[11:07] <variant>   rename \  _ *.$1
[11:07] <variant> done
[11:07] <hendrixski> anybody know how to run a python app from inside a C++ program?
[11:07] <ferronica> soundray: Yeah
[11:07] <olrrai_> ed_: alt+[num keypad]  dont work! how can I fix it?
[11:08] <eck> hendrixski: fork?
[11:08] <robban> eck: Yes, thats easy. variant: Thanks
[11:08] <ed_> olrrai_, i'm not sure. i think it might be dependant on the application
[11:08] <aubade> Anyone here got experience with gvim/vim-gtk?
 Has anyone tried Wubi yet?  Is it worth installing?    I don't want to make a new partition until I upgrade my laptop's harddrive.-- Anyone?
[11:08] <phicho> hi can someone pls pls tell me how to change the refresh rate on my ubuntu desktop in windows xp it 100 mhz on 1024x796 but on ubuntu is 60mhz and i cant chage it
[11:08] <ferronica> soundray: now what i do
[11:08] <eck> !anyone | aubade
[11:08] <ubotu> aubade: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[11:08] <stefg> DangerDaz: the ubuntu-core system feels absolutely comfortable in about 5 GB... so rather use the 120GB for storage. no use in overspacing the ubuntu-partiton by 2400 %
[11:08] <hendrixski> eck, oh man... that would be a lot of message passing.... is there a wrapper framework of any sort?
[11:08] <aubade> @lart eck
[11:09] <olrrai_> alt+[num keypad]  dont work on the entire ubuntu! how can I fix it?
[11:09] <aubade> Point made, and lack of @lart makes me sad. :(
[11:09] <eck> hendrixski: i usually just tab complete
[11:09] <phicho> pls
[11:09] <Lordveda> Is there a devel/unstable branch for ubuntu???
[11:09] <eck> what is lart?
[11:09] <phicho> i have samsunf 795 df
[11:09] <xelados> Can anyone help me figure out why Synaptic is telling me these packages can be auto-removed? http://mystic.de4th.com/stuff/Screenshot.png
[11:09] <kalpik> Lordveda, join #ubuntu+1
[11:09] <ferronica> soundray: any help from your side?
[11:09] <hendrixski> eck, tab complete with fork??
[11:09] <hermanandpauline> hi
[11:09] <anderson> does the x-cd-roast do the same thing that the brasero does?
[11:10] <aubade> Any idea how to open multiple files with gvim in tabs rather than buffers? For example: gvim /i/like/cheese/*
[11:10] <eck> hendrixski: oops, wrong person. uh, you would want to use a socket
[11:10] <soundray> ferronica: try restarting compiz in the same way that I suggested restarting metacity.
[11:10] <aubade> Checked the manual and don't see any vim-gtk specific flags.
[11:10] <jrib> aubade: -p
[11:10] <hermanandpauline> can someone help me witha simple question
[11:10] <Cheese> I like cheese aswell
[11:10] <lando> is it possible to install ubuntu-server via a regular install cd.. such as a boot command?
[11:10] <eck> hendrixski: there are some ipc frameworks for python, i'm not sure how well they work
[11:10] <xelados> lando: Yes, "server" at the prompt
[11:10] <nickrud> xelados, you probably had a legacy gnome app installed, and you removed it. So, synaptic says you don't need it's support libs anymore

[11:10] <sunnypies> to anyone,  what does the little lock mean?  Its the little lock at the top corner of some folders I got

[11:10] <yimmmy>  stuff off the net
[11:10] <phicho> hi can someone pls pls tell me how to change the refresh rate on my ubuntu desktop in windows xp it 100 mhz on 1024x796 but on ubuntu is 60mhz and i cant chage it
[11:11] <stefg> lando: no, you need the dedicated server install CD
[11:11] <jrib> sunnypies: means you don't have write permission
[11:11] <yimmmy> i need help with dling stuff off the net
[11:11] <yimmmy> i dont know how
[11:11] <jrib> sunnypies: I think, something with permissions at least..
[11:11] <xelados> nickrud: If I get rid of those packages, I'll be getting rid of things that seem very important.
[11:11] <dyrne> Laney: that is the alternate cd
[11:11] <eck> hendrixski: it will be easiest if you are doing xmlrpc to communicate over the socket, but you can define any sort of message passing system you want
[11:11] <ferronica> soundray: ok it worked now thanx.
[11:11] <dyrne> Laney: nm
[11:11] <eck> hendrixski: at least that would be easy from python, i'm not sure what the C++ apis for that look like
[11:12] <yimmmy> help
[11:12] <lethu> yimmmy, what do you want to download?
[11:12] <hermanandpauline> can someone answer me a feisty upgrade question please?
[11:12] <sunnypies> whats the "lock" on a folder mean anyone???
[11:12] <pureDesi> hey, I'm trying to mount my windows partition in feisty but I can't seem to get it to work
[11:12] <hermanandpauline> i seem to have buggered up
[11:12] <jrib> hermanandpauline: just ask the question
[11:12] <soundray> ferronica: make a note of the procedure, you will probably need it again.
[11:12] <hendrixski> eck, I C.  I'll look into those.... sweet   thanks.  :-)
[11:12] <nickrud> xelados, what do you have that's still using those? I mean, there's not much left that needs the gnome 1.4 libs now that gnucash has finally been ported
[11:12] <xtknight> sunnypies, you aren't the owner of the folder
[11:12] <hermanandpauline> ok
[11:12] <jrib> sunnypies: I just told you
[11:12] <ferronica> soundray: in tomboy
[11:13] <eck> sunnypies: it's generally to prevent multiple programs from accessing something at once
[11:13] <xelados> nickrud: Well, I installed sanduhr earlier but decided it was crap..
[11:13] <hermanandpauline> well my  gaim says im not connected but i am via terminal
[11:13] <eck> sunnypies: oh, do you mean the icon?
[11:13] <sunnypies> yea
[11:13] <xelados> Do you think it was responsible for all of that?
[11:13] <eck> sunnypies: i think that means you don't have proper permissions
[11:13] <xtknight> ya he means the gnome icon
[11:13] <darwin> I need to install Windows 2000 under a virtual machine in Ubuntu. What virtual machine software is recommended for Ubuntu?
[11:13] <xelados> I'm just afraid of breaking my system
[11:13] <xtknight> indeed
[11:13] <DWSR> hey all
[11:13] <xelados> darwin: VMware?
[11:13] <pureDesi> I've tried using ntfs-config to mount it, but the "Enable write support for internal devices" is greyed out
[11:13] <bruenig> darwin, take your pick virtual box vmware qemu
[11:13] <pureDesi> any help would be appreciated
[11:13] <kalpik> darwin, virtualbox
[11:13] <stefg> darwin: vmplayer is in the repos... it's the most painless install
[11:14] <phicho> snyone
[11:14] <phicho> anyone?
[11:14] <nickrud> xelados, yes, that's exactly what brought those in: look at apt-cache show sanduhr
[11:14] <sunnypies> xtknight: I created the folder being logged on, how am i not the owner of the folder?
[11:14] <DWSR> Can anyone help me configuring my VPN router?
[11:14] <u2k7> openoffice goes black with a dark gtk theme.. how do you make openoffice look like it used to?
[11:14] <xelados> alright
[11:14] <xtknight> sunnypies, because you created it under sudo (probably)
[11:14] <Paddy_EIRE> anyone know why a DIVX movie would play through mplayer when using the cli but not when I try to play it with the gui mplayer???
[11:14] <aubade> Paddy_EIRE: Change the video driver to xv.
[11:14] <DWSR> Can anyone help me configuring my VPN router?
[11:14] <ferronica> soundray: i am using 40Gb Hdd for my ubuntu, is there any way to partition Hdd, like as we do in windows 40Gb into 20Gb and 20Gb
[11:14] <Paddy_EIRE> aubade, how is this done
[11:14] <lethu> yimmmy, generally it's as simple as right clicking on a link and saving its target to disk
[11:15] <DWSR> ferronica: Yes.
[11:15] <phicho> where to find drives for samsung syncmaster 795df on the official pace thare is none can somebody pls tell me ?
[11:15] <DWSR> During installation Ubuntu gives you that option.
[11:15] <aubade> Right-click on gmplayer and select 'Preferences'. It's under the Video tab.
[11:15] <xelados> nickrud: Ah, seems like you're right; it's depending on old stuff. So it really is safe to remove it all?
[11:15] <ferronica> DWSR: okay
[11:15] <hermanandpauline> i ll rephrase the question to make it easier-  on earlier ubuntu version i had to install third party driver for speedtouch modem. i still connect via terminal, but gaim and evolution dont recognise i am connected.
[11:15] <xelados> I can't think of any other old app I've installed.
[11:15] <nickrud> Paddy_EIRE, right click on the media file, select properties, and then choose your gui player of choice
[11:15] <nickrud> Paddy_EIRE, under open with, that is
[11:15] <nickrud> xelados, if you had, those wouldn't be ready for removal.
[11:16] <bootsmorris> what is the screen called that is right after you login with the ubuntu logo and the icons for things that it is loading?
[11:16] <xelados> nickrud: Alright. Thanks for helping a somewhat paranoid user. :)
[11:16] <hermanandpauline> though firefox recognises the connection
[11:16] <Paddy_EIRE> nickrud, I know this :) but that is not the problem
[11:16] <olrrai_> Alt + 126  ==  Alt Gr + 4
[11:16] <eck> bootsmorris: it's just called the splash screen
[11:16] <nickrud> xelados, paranoia is only perception: understanding is improving perception :)
[11:16] <bootsmorris> ok
[11:16] <darwin> Which virtual machine is easier to set up?
[11:16] <ferronica> DWSR: is there any document related to it, i wanna read about ubuntu
[11:16] <eck> bootsmorris: you can configure/disable it via some gconf keys (use gconf-editor)
[11:16] <dyrne> bootsmorris: sudo gdmsetup i believe lets you edit splashscreen  though im not too familiar with gnome
[11:16] <Paddy_EIRE> aubade, could you tell me how I can change that driver
[11:17] <xelados> nickrud: Great way to look at it.
[11:17] <DWSR> ferronica: http://wiki.ubuntu.org <-- The wiki knows everything!
[11:17] <olrrai_> ed_: Alt + 126  ==  Alt Gr + 4
[11:17] <fribuntu> Hi!

[11:18] <yimmmy> how do you dl themes and use them

Should I upgrade to dapper drake first, and then to feisty, or go straight to feisty?
[11:19] <imsdle> can anywone show me the link, i can't find it
[11:19] <hermanandpauline> jrib how i run via terminal?
[11:19] <eck> siloko: i believe you can configure it in the font settings
[11:19] <yimmmy> drag and drop dont work
[11:20] <jrib> !upgrade > philc (see the private message from ubotu)
[11:20] <hermanandpauline> ive laways run via gnome
[11:20] <Adsims2001> I don't really need procmail at all, since I don't run a mail server. is there any way to completely disable it?
[11:20] <DWSR> Gerro: Why wouldn't you just use synaptic on the other computer?
[11:20] <dc244> I was really hoping for something on linux for doing music
[11:20] <eck> Adsims2001: you aren't running an mta?
[11:20] <jrib> philc: it's dapper -> edgy -> feisty so you can't *upgrade* to dapper from edgy :)
[11:20] <Adsims2001> eck: mta?
[11:20] <yimmmy> my drag and drop dont work
[11:20] <DWSR> dc244: Haven't seen anything that great. Audacity is really the only thing.
[11:20] <jrib> hermanandpauline: open a terminal and type "gaim"
[11:20] <siloko> eck: What under the Application font option? Is there a way of Just changing the Menu font or do I have to change the font for all Apps?
[11:20] <eck> Adsims2001: if you aren't using it for anything i guess you can just uninstall it
[11:20] <philc> jrib: ah, got the order wrong!
[11:20] <DWSR> Can anyone help me set up my VPN router?
[11:20] <Gerro> DWSR: because my router died and this computer is only one with internet, hosting some things
[11:20] <DWSR> !vpn
[11:20] <Adsims2001> eck: with apt-get?
[11:21] <ubotu> From more information on vpn please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD
[11:21] <stefg> darwin: i'd strongly recommend to stick with vmware-player... it's just an apt-get away and by far the easiest one. But vmware-support is in #vmware or on vmware.com, the channel is to busy to guide you a w2k install in ubuntu. it's easy, no problem
[11:21] <Sergo> what i need to install to run java programs?
[11:21] <eck> Adsims2001: yeah
[11:21] <dc244> DWSR: Audacity is seriously hard work -
[11:21] <Sergo> =] 
[11:21] <godd4242> anyone have any ideas why kibadock is destroying my laptop?
[11:21] <iandoh> does anyone know if a lifeview prime tv 30 will work on ubuntu?

[11:21] <Gerro> DWSR: need tftp to reflash using my lappy
[11:21] <DWSR> ah
[11:21] <jrib> philc: note that the wiki recommends against editing sources.list to upgrade
[11:21] <Adsims2001> eck: Thanks, doing that now. It was causing some weird memory problems
[11:21] <eck> siloko: i'm not sure, try gconf too
[11:21] <DWSR> Well as I'm currently not on Ubuntu I can't tell you.
[11:21] <DWSR> You should just look around in the man pages.
[11:21] <siloko> eck: ok thx
[11:21] <darwin> stefg: Thank you!
[11:21] <iandoh> oh fuck you gang of niggers

[11:22] <Nrbelex> Hi - I have my wireless card up and running. Using the network manager, I have previously used it to connect to a wireless network elsewhere on a corporate WPA system. However at home, I'm unable to connect to our standard WEP network with the correct hex key or any other nearby unsecured wireless networks. In the system monitor, I see spikes of sent data but 0 received bytes. The card is a...
[11:22] <Nrbelex> ...BCM43XX series and I used fwcutter to get it running properly.
[11:22] <stefg> darwin: start here http://www.easyvmx.com/index.shtml
[11:22] <DWSR> Can anyone help me set up my VPN router?
[11:22] <whatitis> hello, i'm about to reinstall XP on a dual boot machine, how do i get grub back after windows is installed?
[11:22] <Crazytom> Nrbelex, can't see anything after the card is a ....
[11:23] <DWSR> whattits: Check the Wiki.
[11:23] <Gerro> DWSR: perhaps.. what kind is it?
[11:23] <DWSR> !grub
[11:23] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto

[11:23] <ubotu> whatitis: please see above
[11:23] <DWSR> ^^ there you go whatitis.
[11:23] <Nrbelex> crazytom, The card is a BCM43XX series and I used fwcutter to get it running properly.

[11:23] <cidwel> anybody knows a way to put a video on a screensaver? :S
[11:23] <sunnypies> question:  I just installed mtpaint   i can load by typing mtpain in terminal, how do i put an icon of it in the Applications list???
[11:23] <DWSR> I can't make heads or tails of anything really. I can tell you some things for sure though.
[11:24] <Gerro> DWSR: interesting
[11:24] <DWSR> It's got PPTP, L2TP.
[11:24] <jrib> sunnypies: right click on the ubuntu icon -> edit menus
[11:24] <DWSR> and it supports IPsec and IKE.
[11:24] <bruenig> sunnypies, you need to write a .desktop file and stick it in /usr/share/applications
[11:24] <Gerro> DWSR: so does it already have the VPN setup on that end?
[11:24] <DWSR> No. That's kind of the point. I have no idea what I'm doing.
[11:24] <Gerro> hmm
[11:25] <xarampion> no solution
[11:25] <hermanandpauline> jrib- nevermind it seems to work now for some reason
[11:25] <xarampion> -burn the computer
[11:25] <hermanandpauline> thankns for your time
[11:25] <phanter> hi all...
[11:25] <darkos> #ubuntu-es
[11:25] <sswitching> Hi, guys, whats difference between using Virtual Terminals and Screens?
[11:25] <jrib> hermanandpauline: great, glad it just fixed itself :)
[11:25] <hermanandpauline> i wonder if evolution works jrib
[11:25] <phanter> does anybody know if aspell has his/her own irc somewhere (where Ican ask difficult questions ?)
[11:26] <DWSR> sswitching: using screen allows you to have multiple processes running in a single terminal session. It's useful for doing remote admin-ing through SSH.
[11:26] <hermanandpauline> jrib- same prob, its evolution now
[11:26] <hermanandpauline> hehe
[11:26] <kekos> Hi, I have a question
[11:26] <Gerro> DWRS: ipsec requires freeswan kernel module or for it to be compiled into the kernel
[11:26] <hendrixski> !ask | kekos
[11:26] <bruenig> !howdy | kekos
[11:26] <ubotu> kekos: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[11:26] <ubotu> kekos: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[11:26] <jrib> hermanandpauline: honestly, I would see if a reboot sorts the thing since gaim just started working
[11:26] <kekos> I've 2 computers sharing internet connection with a bt hub wireless
[11:26] <DWSR> Gerro: I'm just trying to get the server on the VPN set up so that I can interface with it. I have a feeling that that's the biggest challenge.
[11:27] <bruenig> !enter | kekos
[11:27] <ubotu> kekos: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[11:27] <hermanandpauline> will do my friend
[11:27] <nickrud> sunnypies, an easy way is to use system->preferences->main menu, you can add a menu item there
[11:27] <kekos> and i'd like to connect them as a network to share files and printer
[11:27] <kekos> how can i do that?
[11:27] <jacque1> hi folks.  i'm back again.  the links provided before were very good!  I tried everything and even checked the groups this time.  It appears that the audio group vanished.  Are there any particular things I need to do to get the audio group re-instated other than just "add" it using the 'users and groups' option?
[11:27] <kekos> ok
[11:27] <sswitching> DWSR, my problem is running apps like rtorrent without 'em ending everytime i logout or close the gnome/x-terminal. I can do that using CtrL+alt+1/2...6 and then running rtorrent. so are you saying no difference if you're doing it at home(locally)?
[11:28] <jacque1> (note: i added the audio group but the sound didn't fix itself yet.  maybe reboot?  maybe something else required?)
[11:28] <kekos> anyone can help me?
[11:28] <DWSR> Try running it in a screen session, and then just disconnecting from the screen session.
[11:28] <Gerro> DWRS: hmm could use ppp and ssh to tunnel a vpn
[11:28] <hendrixski> kekos, have you tried to share stuff accross the network? places-->network :-)
[11:28] <DWSR> Gerro: Why when the router has VPN built in?
[11:28] <jrib> jacque1: did you log out and back in after doing that?
[11:29] <nickrud> jacque1, you'll probably to adduser <youself> audio as well
[11:29] <nickrud> *need
[11:29] <kekos> hendrixski - no i'll have a look, just a sec
[11:29] <jacque1> jrib : no not yet.  Will try that shortly.
[11:29] <hendrixski> kekos, also, for printers, there's stuff under the System Menu, that should auto detect pritners on the network... also in your browser if you go to localhost:631 the tab on the right should show you the available printers
[11:29] <jacque1> nickrud: I added all of my users to this group :)
[11:29] <hendrixski> kekos, hope that helps.  :-)
[11:29] <Gerro> DWSR: if its too much a bother to add extra kernel modules
[11:29] <jacque1> strangely enough, i have never stuffed around with groups ... ever!!
[11:30] <DWSR> meh, anyways. I have to go. ttyl everyone!
[11:30] <jacque1> [cavat: on this box] 
[11:30] <nickrud> jacque1, the only thing else I can think of, is that if some stuff was already set as audio, you may need to specify the audio group as 29
[11:30] <kekos> hendrixski - thanks
[11:30] <GMWeezel> How can I change the programs that appear in "Open With" under nautilus? I have junk in the context menus.
[11:30] <thor> slap
[11:30] <thor> s
[11:30] <hendrixski> kekos, NP.  Come by any time and we're here to help.  Also www.ubuntuforums.org.... be sure to Google first though :-)
[11:30] <jacque1> excellent.  thanks nickrud... this as the gem I was looking for.  What's the easiest way to make audio 29?  remove and re-add?
[11:31] <nickrud> jacque1, you could edit /etc/group and set it to 29.
[11:31] <Greyhound> has anyone tried adobe cs3 under ubuntu ?
[11:32] <nickrud> jacque1, audio is group 29 on my machine. I'm assuming that it's the same for all ubuntu machines, but you know what assuming can do...
[11:32] <jacque1> ok, maybe something screwy happening here.  I thought that was where groups was - but when I went there and sudo gedit /etc/groups, it came up empty ... I tried twice to make sure.  i'll do a reboot and see how I go, once i've put audio to 29 via the gui.
[11:32] <nickrud> jacque1, /etc/group , no s
[11:32] <jacque1> nickrud : yes I do :)  hey, I appreciate the advice.
[11:32] <jacque1> nickrud... damn.  that's it.  no "s" :)
[11:33] <danlock2> so, do you all think that Ubuntu Server is a good option for a firewall ;-).
[11:33] <xelados> Which rc file contains the directories that GNOME checks for wallpapers?
[11:34] <Enverex|LT> danlock2, No
[11:34] <Nrbelex_> Hi - I have my bcm4303 wireless card up and running. Using the network manager, I have previously used it to connect to a wireless network elsewhere on a corporate WPA system. However at home, I'm unable to connect to our standard WEP network with the correct hex key or any other nearby unsecured wireless networks. In the system monitor, I see spikes of sent data but 0 received bytes.
[11:34] <dyrne> danlock2: it would work but id go with something slimmer
[11:34] <nickrud> xelados, ~/.backgrounds for your personal ones
[11:34] <toool> how do you install google earth have downloaded a bin file but not sure how to install
[11:34] <danlock2> dyrne: its for a cyber-defense competiton.... i don't have many options, and I've fallen in love with anything debian.
[11:34] <nickrud> xelados, and /usr/share/backgrounds for the system wide ones
[11:34] <jacque1> hi nikrud, audio group was there already as 29...  i must be having a bad bad...  i'll try reboot anyway, and see how I go....
[11:34] <xelados> nickrud: Do I just list the directories to use?
[11:35] <three> hi all
[11:35] <stefg> danlock2: there's specialized firewall distros... installing ubuntu-server only for firwall purposes is overkill
[11:35] <xelados> say, ~/images/wallpapers, ~/images/photos?
[11:35] <jacque1> bye
[11:35] <nickrud> xelados, hrm, I just drop the backgrounds I want into ~/.backgrounds, or link them there
[11:35] <Enverex|LT> danlock2, You're better off with Debian or Gentoo if you want a full distro if not something specifically for Firewalls
[11:35] <three> does anyone know what has happened to ubuntustudio
[11:35] <xelados> Oh, .backgrounds as a folder
[11:35] <xelados> I thought you meant a file.
[11:36] <stefg> three: yeah, thy recently had a new release
[11:36] <nickrud> xelados, :)
[11:36] <Znow> Anyone here?
[11:36] <toool> any one here know what to do with a bin file, downloaded google earth and am now stuck

[11:37] <Kyral_Laptop> nickrud: I'd hate to see your perl code :P
[11:37] <habeeb> Hey, I'm new to GNOME, and when I close Rhythmbox it ...well.. closes. It doesn't minimize to the system tray. Is there a way to make Rhythmbox stay alive in the tray?
[11:37] <nickrud> Kyral_Laptop, what's perl code? And I will NOT show my bash crap ;P
[11:37] <stefg> three: i think they are just overloaded try if you can get this :http://ubuntustudio.org/ww2/themes/ubuntustudio/files/UbuntuStudio_7.04.torrent

[11:41] <olrrai_> see u later
[11:41] <cbs> anyone know what directory apps are installed to in feisty
[11:41] <BigToe> How do I set up a printer in Ubuntu server so I can share it with my Windows PC? I already have a Samba share set up between the 2 and it works, so sharing a printer should be easy... surely? The Wiki only provides help for people with GUIs though...
[11:42] <Kr0ntab> anyone familiar with why checkinstall tries to include /usr/bin/ld in the .deb packages that it creates?
[11:42] <three> cbs, i think it depends on what app
[11:42] <funkyHat> habeeb, three click the rhythmbox icon in the tray
[11:42] <cbs> amule
[11:42] <danlock2> !amule
[11:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about amule - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:42] <Kr0ntab> I'm thinking a --exclude option may do the trick... but curious to see if anyone else has run into this issue.
[11:43] <three> funkyHat: ty
[11:43] <wim> Hi all - would love some help to get my RocketRaid 454 card to work under Feisty
[11:43] <funkyHat> cbs, applications aren't installed in just one location.... why do you want to know where amule is installed?
[11:43] <xelados> nickrud: It doesn't seem to work. I symlinked .backgrounds to my wallpapers folder..
[11:43] <wim> I'm getting errors compiling the source code in order to create the hpt374.ko file
[11:43] <cbs> i cant figure out where it was storing temp files previous to a path change
[11:44] <three> cbs: look in your home dir for .amule there is alot of it in there
[11:44] <BigToe> How do I set up a printer in Ubuntu server so I can share it with my Windows PC? I already have a Samba share set up between the 2 and it works, so sharing a printer should be easy... surely? The Wiki only provides help for people with GUIs though... I have the Windows drivers for my printer installed and hpijs on the Ubuntu PC...
[11:44] <cbs> already looked there
[11:44] <bruenig> cbs, if it is storing tmp files, it will either be in /tmp or in your home directory seeing as you can't write to anything else
[11:44] <IamEthos> is there a channel for Ubuntu Server, or is this it?
[11:44] <bruenig> IamEthos, this
[11:45] <demon_spork> How do I reboot into a command prompt with no X?? (not recovery mode, at least runlevel 3 recquired)
[11:45] <funkyHat> I have an odd problem with gnome vfs... I have 2 CD rom drives when I look in Computer in Nautilus (one if them is completely non-functional of course)
[11:45] <wim> IamEthos - you on the server machine now?
[11:45] <funkyHat> Would be nice to get rid of it
[11:45] <makuseru> hi, i have a problem, i had a HP DVD writer and ive tried diffrent programs and diffrent brands of dvds, but it never burns one correctly, i always get errors, someone said K3B had a problem with HP writers, but ive tried more than just k3b, i dont need anything special for hp writers do i?
[11:46] <bruenig> demon_spork, your conception of runlevel doesn't apply to ubuntu, if you wanted no X, the way I would go is to make sure gdm didn't execute, sudo chmod -x /etc/init.d/gdm
[11:46] <IamEthos> wim, no
[11:46] <funkyHat> demon_spork, ctrl+alt+F1, then login, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[11:46] <wim> ok :-(
[11:46] <BigToe> wim, why'd you ask that?
[11:46] <gglser> anyone know if latex is available in Ubuntu? and a gui?
[11:46] <IamEthos> can anyone who has used debian or a BSD server successfully before compare it in terms of security, customizability and ease of use with Ubuntu Server?
[11:46] <nickrud> xelados, funny, I know I did that before. It's not working here, either
[11:46] <wim> can any of you check the /lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/kernel/drivers/scsi directory for a hpt374.ko file?
[11:47] <h4wk0`> !debootstrap | guigouz
[11:47] <ubotu> guigouz: debootstrap is used to create a !Debian or Ubuntu base system from scratch, without requiring the availability of !dpkg or !APT. It does this by downloading !.deb files from a mirror site, and carefully unpacking them into a directory you can eventually !chroot into.
[11:47] <IamEthos> BigToe, wim, I was wondering the same thing
[11:47] <Znow> Can anyone help me? Im in big trouble... Ive been working all day on this... /q me or something
[11:47] <demon_spork> funkyHat, Thank you, I have asked that question several times over the last few days and no one has provided that key combo, I am putting it on a sticky not on my screen!!!
[11:47] <xelados> nickrud: Perhaps the custom directory name has changed?
[11:47] <erUSUL> !pm | Znow
[11:47] <ubotu> Znow: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude.
[11:47] <kite> Hi All - Could anyone tell me where to make changes to power settings in Kunbuntu desktop - I can't find where to set turning off of monitor, etc. Thx
[11:47] <BigToe> wim, no such folder, sorry :(
[11:47] <nickrud> xelados, no, I dropped a picture onto the change background dialog, and that's where it ended up
[11:47] <wim> IamEthos, BigToe - It may be available on the server...
[11:47] <funkyHat> demon_spork, ctrl+alt+F* gets you different vterms... F7 is X (usually)
[11:47] <wim> hmm
[11:47] <stefg> makuseru: the problem ain't k3b, which is just a fat frontend to cdrecord... so you'd need a debug output from cdrecord to track down the actual problem
[11:47] <bruenig> kite, did you look in the same spot you configure your screensaver?
[11:47] <dyrne> IamEthos: freebsd is really pretty easy, documentation is good and the #freebsd chan is helpful
[11:47] <wim> ok BigToe, cheers anyways
[11:48] <randomwalker> i can't increase my screen resolution beyond 1024x768
[11:48] <xelados> hm, odd.
[11:48] <randomwalker> http://paste.stgraber.org/837 is my xorg.conf
[11:48] <Znow> erusul, its a really big problem, and there is way to much "queue" in this channel for asking it in here
[11:48] <hermanandpauline> how do i downgrade from feisty to edgy please?
[11:48] <BigToe> How do I set up a printer in Ubuntu server so I can share it with my Windows PC? I already have a Samba share set up between the 2 and it works, so sharing a printer should be easy... surely? The Wiki only provides help for people with GUIs though... I have the Windows drivers for my printer installed and hpijs on the Ubuntu PC...
[11:48] <wim> trying to get my 'RAID' card to work
[11:48] <bruenig> hermanandpauline, you can't
[11:48] <nickrud> xelados, I also did a killall nautilus.
[11:48] <xelados> So theoretically..
[11:48] <hermanandpauline> darn
[11:48] <bruenig> hermanandpauline, unless you fresh install
[11:48] <randomwalker> it has 1280x800
[11:48] <Znow> erusul, its a really big problem, and there is way to much "queue" in this channel for asking it in here
[11:48] <randomwalker> and not 1024x768
[11:48] <xelados> I could select all of my wallpapers at once and drag into the dialog?
[11:48] <xelados> :D
[11:48] <randomwalker> and yet x won't go beyond 1024
[11:48] <funkyHat> hermanandpauline, why do you want to downgrade?
[11:48] <nickrud> xelados, maybe a logout and login is what it takes. Not doing so now, though
[11:48] <IamEthos> kite, open Control Center, go to Peripherals, then Display, then Power Control
[11:48] <stefg> hermanandpauline: format and reinstall, to make it short
[11:48] <kite> bruenig - yea but could not see where to set how long etc before monitor goes black screen
[11:48] <makuseru> stefg: i know its not K3B, Nero 3 for Linux wond do it either
[11:49] <hermanandpauline> i cant get my internet conection to work
[11:49] <kite> ok will check
[11:49] <randomwalker> can someone help me figure out why?
[11:49] <hermanandpauline> it works for this and firefox
[11:49] <bruenig> kite, check out #kubuntu, they will know more about kde specific questions
[11:49] <hermanandpauline> it dont work for gaim nor evolution
[11:49] <randomwalker> my machine is currently unusable because it's widescreen and like i said, X will only show a normal screen resolution
[11:49] <bruenig> kite, on xfce there is an "advanced" tab on the screensaver part where you set that, I would assume something like that for kde too but maybe not
[11:49] <hermanandpauline> i rebooted but its not working
[11:49] <aro> randomwalker, what video card do you have
[11:50] <gglser> anyone know how to use latex in ubuntu?
[11:50] <funkyHat> hermanandpauline, if it's working for IRC and firefox then it's working... the only thing I can think of is check System > Preferences > Network Proxy
[11:50] <randomwalker> Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controlle
[11:50] <hermanandpauline> k funky
[11:50] <randomwalker> aro: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controlle
[11:50] <kite> thx - bruenig - was not aware there was a kubuntu channel - thx again
[11:50] <aro> randomwalker, I might have a solution that, I fainly recall reading something regarding that video card and a fix. I'm guessing you're on a laptop?
[11:50] <randomwalker> aro: yes
[11:50] <aro> randomwalker, one second while I try to find the links I was reading earlier
[11:51] <IamEthos> dyrne, I've used Free BSD and Debian before
[11:51] <stefg> hermanandpauline: avahi and/or network-manager might interfere . these are new additions in Feisty. If you don't need them try to remove avahi and network-manager and see if it works then
[11:51] <gglser> help: I cannot empty my trash because it says I do not have permission in the File browser
[11:51] <hermanandpauline> funky i would have no idea how to do anything with that
[11:51] <IamEthos> I'm trying to get an idea of how Ubuntu Server stacks up?
[11:51] <BigToe> How do I install an HP Deskjet 5440 on Ubuntu Server? I plug it in and type echo "test" > lpr, but nothing happens.
[11:51] <hermanandpauline> ive looked and it a bit techy
[11:51] <hermanandpauline> its only since install
[11:51] <funkyHat> hermanandpauline, I'm guessing you either have a proxy server you have to use (which you would know about, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to configure firefox and IRC), or you don't, in which case the settings in Network Proxy should say 'connect directly' or words to that effect
[11:52] <wickerman> gglser - try terminal SUDO NAUTILUS  then find the trash folder and empty it
[11:52] <hermanandpauline> of feisty
[11:52] <peterka> Is Turion64 M is better than Pentium M and how is under Ubuntu ?
[11:52] <hermanandpauline> i never configuered firefox
[11:52] <Znow> Who shall I pay to get some help for a min or two?!
[11:52] <wickerman> i HAVE A tURION 64 IN my laptop and it works great
[11:52] <hermanandpauline> its that the other things not detecting third party driver
[11:52] <xelados> nickrud: Logging out and back in didn't seem to work.
[11:52] <BigToe> How do I install an HP Deskjet 5440 on Ubuntu Server? I plug it in and type echo "test" > lpr, but nothing happens.
[11:52] <makuseru> hi, i have a problem, i had a HP DVD writer and ive tried diffrent programs and diffrent brands of dvds, but it never burns one correctly, i always get errors, someone said K3B had a problem with HP writers, but ive tried more than just k3b, i dont need anything special for hp writers do i?

[11:53] <aro> randomwalker, are you comfortable going through the reconfiguration of your X Server?
[11:53] <Znow> Who shall I pay to get some help for a min or two?!
[11:53] <funkyHat> hermanandpauline, ok in that case in the Proxy Configuration, make sure you have selected 'Direct internet connection'
[11:53] <randomwalker> aro: i tried that several times
[11:53] <hermanandpauline> k
[11:53] <wickerman> Znow - what's wrong?
[11:53] <randomwalker> aro: if you mean dpkg-reconfigure
[11:53] <demon_spork> !cups > demon_spork
[11:53] <randomwalker> aro: every time, x won't even start with the new xorg
[11:53] <demon_spork> lol, I needed that
[11:53] <Znow> wickerman, can I query you? its way to busy in here...

[11:54] <aro> randomwalker, have you tried this http://roland-lopez.blogspot.com/2007/03/auto915resolution-ubuntu-resolution-fix.html
[11:54] <wickerman> same here... what's the problem?
[11:54] <Znow> please join #znow
[11:54] <Znow> so we can talk
[11:54] <gglser> wickerman: wheres the trash in my folders?
[11:55] <sonictwin> how come after upgrading to fiesty, my ntfs partition no longer mounts at bootup?
[11:55] <stefg> BigToe: i know, but lpr just isn't installed, so nothing happens
[11:55] <seesul> I'm new to linux, are there any good applications out there for young childern, math and science games mostly. I'm having trouble finding programs that are compatible with Ubuntu
[11:55] <funkyHat> gglser, ~/.Trash
[11:55] <Gerro> seesul: yeah quite a few let me get a list
[11:55] <BigToe> stefg, but I did install it
[11:55] <randomwalker> aro: great, i'll try that, thanks
[11:55] <erUSUL> seesul: it seems that edubuntu will suit you
[11:55] <seesul> Gerro: okay
[11:55] <IamEthos> Znow, few will want to join a seperate channel without even knowing if they can help you with your issue first
[11:55] <hermanandpauline> yes funky it says direct etc
[11:55] <aro> randomwalker, I'll watch to see if it works, just type my name out so my IRC window blinsk
[11:55] <IamEthos> stop whining, and post it here.
[11:55] <aro> blinks*
[11:55] <gglser> funkyhat: I mean in filebrowser... because I cant empty my trash.. says I dont have permission
[11:56] <cello_rasp> where is the file that defiens what folders are mapped to which devices
[11:56] <randomwalker> aro: sure, thanks!
[11:56] <gglser> funkyhat: how can I run filebrowser as admin, and find the trash folder?
[11:56] <stefg> BigToe: i see.... generally HP's are supported well, but i don't know about lpr... never used it
[11:56] <hermanandpauline> i dont understand how it works for Some software
[11:56] <funkyHat> gglser, if you want to empty your trash and it's not letting you run sudo rm -r ~/.trash/*
[11:56] <funkyHat> Make sure you don't get that wrong rm -r is pretty dangerous
[11:57] <danlock2> rm -rf ~/.trash/*
[11:57] <danlock2> ?
[11:57] <abstrcrndm> exit
[11:57] <BigToe> stefg, know anything about using hp with anything else, then?
[11:57] <funkyHat> Actually * ~/.Trash
[11:57] <hermanandpauline> evolution and gaim fail to connect firefox and this works
[11:57] <Gerro> seesul: GCompris, KDE Edutainment Suite, Tux4Kids. Some other ones that might be at higher level are gpriodic, kstars, celestia, scilab, octave
[11:57] <nickrud> cello_rasp, /etc/fstab
[11:57] <gglser> funkyhat: but I want to find out first how I can access the Nautilus as admin
[11:57] <cello_rasp> thx i foget.. tired.
[11:57] <hacked_kernel> funkyHat: why rm -r is dangerous?
[11:57] <stefg> BigToe: get cups and hpijs ...
[11:58] <BigToe> stefg, I did... :S
[11:58] <thor> if you want to be safe, don't use the comman dline
[11:58] <thor> gksudo nautilus
[11:58] <danlock2> funkyHat, isnt it the -f that is dangerous....?
[11:58] <thor> is much safer
[11:58] <xelados> danlock2: No, it's the r
[11:58] <xelados> for recursive
[11:58] <funkyHat> hacked_kernel, if you excecute it in the right place, it can delete a whole lot of stuff you didn't want deleted
[11:58] <xelados> f forces
[11:58] <danlock2> oh okay.
[11:58] <cello_rasp> haha my swap file sounds awesome through /dev/audio :3
[11:58] <funkyHat> danlock2, yeah the f makes it even more dangerous...
[11:58] <seesul> Gerro: if the kstars and celestia have anything to do with astronomy, my daughter will love those, thanks for the list
[11:58] <ab__> Does sb know how to set up samba to share a folder with vista. My settings are not working
[11:58] <hermanandpauline> if it helps i ve got a picture of monitors on the top right of the screen that got an x next to them
[11:58] <danlock2> lol
[11:58] <funkyHat> But just -r is dangerous enough
[11:59] <BigToe> !search cups
[11:59] <ubotu> Found: cups, cupsys, printing, cupsweb
[11:59] <hacked_kernel> funkyHat: so what -f adds to -r to make it more safer?
[11:59] <xelados> thor makes a good point, though. The command line isn't safe from the user. :p
[11:59] <Nrbelex> How does one troubleshoot a network card that can detect wireless networks but not connect to any?
[11:59] <BigToe> !cups
[11:59] <danlock2> just don't do a cd /./ and then you know what
[11:59] <ubotu> Printing in Ubuntu is done with CUPS. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[11:59] <gglser> funkyhat: how can I access the trash through the Nautilus?
[11:59] <cello_rasp> ab__ if samba works on another client then you can get it working on vista and the problem is on the vista end..
[11:59] <Gerro> seesul: can't quite find my list, hmm I usually run wine and dosbox for that stuff
[11:59] <thor> ctrl H
[11:59] <funkyHat> hacked_kernel, no, -rf together is more dangerous than either on their own
[11:59] <thor> will let access trash
[11:59] <randomwalker> aro: didn't work
[11:59] <d_> hello...does anybody know how to make working sound card (HDA ATI SB) with ubuntu feisty? must I install Yast? i can't find it..
[11:59] <funkyHat> gglser, ~/.Trash
[11:59] <xelados> hacked_kernel: No, 'f' makes it to where the recursive deletion (r) cannot be stopped.
[11:59] <Gerro> seesul: sure no prob
[11:59] <sonictwin> i am trying to mount my ntfs partition (/dev/hda2) on /media/windows
[11:59] <xelados> (though, it technically can through Ctrl+C)
[12:00] <hacked_kernel> funkyHat: so how to delete folders in a safer way?
[12:00] <sonictwin> i am getting this error : Failed to access '/dev/hda2': No such file or directory
[12:00] <randomwalker> aro: xorg.conf still says 1280x800, but it only does 1024x768
[12:00] <funkyHat> gglser, but as you're now running it as root, you'll have to put the path to your home
[12:00] <xelados> hacked_kernel: "rmdir"
[12:00] <gglser> funkyhat: but thats through terminal right??
[12:00] <thor> @sonic - run gparted
[12:00] <danlock2> meh, rmdir doesn't like me
[12:00] <funkyHat> hacked_kernel, it's safe enough, as long as you don't make a typo :)
[12:00] <thor> to see where ur drives are
[12:00] <hacked_kernel> funkyHat: can you explain in details why rm -rf is dangerous?
[12:00] <funkyHat> gglser, click the little button next to where you can see what folder you're in, then type in the box that appears
[12:00] <Crazytom> Nrbelex, please join #ubuntuwireless and i'll give you 5 minutes
[12:00] <xelados> I agree with funkyHat; I use -Rv quite often when I'm deleting a folder.
[12:00] <sonictwin> ok
[12:00] <dyrne> sonictwin: and 'sudo fdisk -l | grep -i ntfs' gives hda2?
[12:00] <aro> randomwalker, what's the model of laptop that you have
[12:00] <xelados> But I make sure I know where the folder is. :P
[12:00] <thor> @hacked it deletes all files
[12:00] <seesul> erUSUL: thanks for the tip, I'll go look into that distro
[12:01] <d_> stefg: doesn't find it...i think i need repositories for Yast mm
[12:01] <Nrbelex> crazytom, thanks, I'm there
