[12:10] <rr_lap> why does my wifi and sound stop working on my ibm thinkpad t22 after i resume a suspend?
[12:10] <purpzey> rr_lap: Just IP, or use the command that the remote desktop window gave me?
[12:10] <rr_lap> ip will always work
[12:10] <wam> rr_lap: because Linux sucks
[12:11] <purpzey> Interesting.
[12:11] <wam> rr_lap: you'll have to wait to a newer version of the kernel

[12:12] <Ratkid132> Question: Why does Ubuntu have no -686 kernels?
[12:13] <stefg> !generic
[12:13] <ubotu> Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed)
[12:13] <TheGateKeeper> artabrahao: connecting to a remote computer, & controlling it as if you where sat there using it
[12:13] <crabgrass> i have a usb flash drive that isn't mounting... what's the command to list all unmounted drives?
[12:13] <wam> crabgrass: lsusb

[12:14] <wam> crabgrass: what kind of usb device is it?
[12:14] <crabgrass> creative muvo mp3 player
 nice, what client I use to conect to the server?
[12:15] <rr_lap> wam: whats wrong with me?! you are the one that says linux and ubuntu suck
[12:15] <lesshaste_> is it obvious?
[12:16] <wam> rr_lap: lol, forget it, sorry, that's a (not so funny) joke
[12:16] <wam> rr_lap: sorry for this
[12:17] <levander> I've got a .desktop file I made myself.  It works when I click on it from the desktop.  How do I add it to the GNOME menus?
[12:17] <wam> rr_lap: I wouldn't use Linux if I thought it is true
[12:17] <RobNyc> !nvidia
[12:17] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:17] <gruetamer> levander: systen > preferences > main menu
[12:18] <gruetamer> there, choose which of the categories you want it to be in, and create a custom launcher
[12:18] <southafrikanse> WHy when I start typing I get the 2nd letter in CAPS?
[12:18] <wam> crabgrass: cat /proc/scsi/scsi | grep CREATIVE does it respond anything?
[12:18] <crabgrass> wam: well, got it mounted, but now when i try to unmount, it says device buisy
[12:19] <crabgrass> wam: i guess the plugs on the front of my case are dead; ended up using the rear ones... hardware problem
[12:19] <DinCahill> hi. I want to edit a file in /bin/ to make it executable, but it says i dont have permission to do this. How can i give myself permission to do this?
[12:19] <esfader> iam from hell
[12:19] <crabgrass> wam: but i can't figure out how to unmount it... is it doing a delayed write or something?
[12:19] <levander> gruetamer: Okay, I've got the menu I want to add it to open in the system > preferences > main menu dialog.  Now, how do I add my .desktop file to it?
[12:19] <wam> crabgrass: maybe, at least it's a good news it's recognized and mounted
[12:19] <rr_lap> wam stfu
[12:20] <isabelabadone> hello everyone
[12:20] <esfader> you is puta
[12:20] <southafrikanse> I must be a fast typer
[12:20] <levander> gruetamer: it looks like I have to use that dialog to create a new .desktop?
[12:20] <gruetamer> highlight the category that you want it to be in and click on new item
[12:20] <crabgrass> wam: that it is.
[12:20] <wam> crabgrass: indeed
[12:20] <crabgrass> wam: is there any way i can check on the progress?
[12:20] <southafrikanse> THats why I get this problem. I'm faster than Ubuntu lol
[12:20] <crabgrass> wam: some way to tell how much is being passed over the bus, or something
[12:21] <wam> crabgrass: if you find it, pleas tell me
[12:21] <DinCahill> would there be a way of giving a file execute permissions via the terminal?
[12:21] <ianm> anyone using TrueCrypt in feisty?
[12:21] <crabgrass> wam: lol okay
[12:21] <rr_lap> DinCahill: chmod +x FILE
[12:21] <bbrazil> southafrikanse: your shift key is probably sticking
 nice, what is the client I use to conect to the remote desktop onthe server?
[12:21] <gruetamer> DinCahill: chmod
[12:21] <jopa50> irc://irc.freenode.net/ubuntu-fr
[12:21] <DinCahill> what would the chmod number be?
[12:21] <rr_lap> DinCahill: chmod +x FILE
[12:21] <gruetamer> what he said
[12:21] <stefg> DinCahill: sudo chmod <filename> +x
[12:21] <southafrikanse> bbrazil: I don't use the shift ket
[12:22] <crabgrass> wam: auactualy, no, this is bad... how do i unmount it now?
[12:22] <jopa50> il y a des Francais ?
[12:22] <bbrazil> southafrikanse: caps lock then
[12:22] <TheGateKeeper> artabrahao: remote desktop in the client :-)
[12:22] <crabgrass> i mounted it with pmount... what's the opposite of that?
[12:22] <DinCahill> oh right +x is the actual permission ;)
[12:22] <stefg> !fr
[12:22] <wam> crabgrass: isn't it unmounted already?
[12:22] <rr_lap> wow lots of stupid newbs in here
[12:22] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[12:22] <crabgrass> or better yet, anyone know how long 200mb will take to transfer over usb?
[12:22] <rr_lap> i need to leave before i kill then
[12:22] <gruetamer> rr_lap: be nice to them
[12:22] <rr_lap> *them
[12:22] <rr_lap> DinCahill: not talking about you
[12:22] <crabgrass> wam: no, umount returns 'device buisy'
[12:22] <stefg> rr_lap: brilliant idea!
[12:23] <wam> crabgrass: does your device appear when you type mount ?
[12:23] <southafrikanse> THen why it doesn't happen on Windows?
[12:23] <crabgrass> wam: yeah
[12:23] <omnius> my grub is still not right
[12:23] <gruetamer> omnius: whats wrong with it?
[12:23] <bbrazil> southafrikanse: hard to say, should be pretty much the same on both. If you type very slowly does it still happen?
 My client is a windows OS. Via windows terminal service is not possible, so what client Can I use?
[12:24] <wam> crabgrass: crap, is there any chance ubuntu could still be writting on it?
[12:24] <omnius> i followed the recovery howto
[12:24] <DinCahill> rr_lap: ok thanks that helped
[12:24] <southafrikanse> bbrazil: No
[12:24] <crabgrass> wam: i guess so... i did move two 100mb files over to it
[12:24] <DinCahill> and while i'm here: what irc clients are you all using?
[12:24] <eternaljoy> what are these reports I have heard that they are planning on installing some fibre optic cable to get faster broadband speeds? I believe I am sitting on copper at the moment but still I get adsl2+ speeds. Will fibre optic increase my speed to be faster than my current 24000Kbps?
[12:24] <omnius> but i think i did something wrong coz when i restarted i got funny characters instead of grub
[12:24] <crabgrass> wam: not sure how long that takes to go over usb
[12:24] <bbrazil> southafrikanse: hmm, if you run 'uptime' what's the output?
[12:24] <TheGateKeeper> artabrahao: is the server linux?
[12:24] <stefg> !offtopic | eternaljoy
[12:24] <ubotu> eternaljoy: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[12:24] <eternaljoy> stefg: sorry
[12:25] <crabgrass> eternaljoy: fiber can go ridiculously fast, look it up on wiki
[12:25] <omnius> it gave me the option to setup on either (hd0,1) or (hd1,0)
[12:25] <crabgrass> eternaljoy: it's fairly rare right now, though, unless you live in or near a major city
[12:25] <omnius> i choose 0,1
[12:25] <southafrikanse> bbrazil:  23:25:06 up 15 min,  2 users,  load average: 0.36, 0.28, 0.23
[12:25] <eternaljoy> crabgrass: faster than 24000Kbps im now gertting using copper phone lines?
[12:25] <gruetamer> omnius: 0,1 is the second partition on the main hard drive, and 1,0 is the mbr of the second hard drive
[12:26] <gruetamer> where do you want grub to be?
[12:26] <stefg> omnius: so where is your (hd0,0) in grub-speak?
[12:26] <crabgrass> eternaljoy: yes, much faster
[12:26] <omnius> know eye deer
[12:26] <bbrazil> southafrikanse: not high load slowing things down then. It's a weird one, double check you're hitting the keys in the right order (I keep on having that problem with passwords), or try using the shift key is the best advice I can offer
[12:26] <idef> i am trying to ssh in to my linux comptuer and have X11 forwarding, but when I ssh in i get this error /usr/bin/X11/xauth:  error in locking authority file /home/lalit/.Xauthority how can i fix this?
[12:26] <omnius> ubuntu is on my hdb1
[12:26] <crabgrass> eternaljoy: afaik, fiber is what caltech and cern used to get a 6gbps connection going
[12:26] <omnius> xxp is on hda1
[12:26] <deadmeat> Which is the latest kernel you can get via apt-get?
[12:27] <deadmeat> On Edgy
[12:27] <gruetamer> omnius: where is ubuntu?
[12:27] <eternaljoy> crabgrass: cheers
[12:27] <southafrikanse> bbrazil: I'll have to get used to the shift key. It's many keys depending on Caps Lock lol
[12:27] <omnius> my ide slave drive
[12:27] <gruetamer> are you on the livecd now, or what?
[12:27] <omnius> no i had to take steps
[12:28] <deadmeat> hum
[12:28] <philbo> heh, take steps! ;o)
[12:28] <crabgrass> wam: well... doesn't look like it's going to unmount anytime soon, i'm just gonna pull the plug
[12:28] <omnius> i resized my primary drive and installed 7.04 server on it
[12:28] <gruetamer> omnius: this process should be done from the livecd, so boot into that
[12:28] <wam> crabgrass: yeah, do it
[12:28] <bbrazil> southafrikanse: think of it as a keypress less for every capital letter
[12:28] <deadmeat> No one knows? :-/
[12:28] <omnius> i did it original from the livecd
[12:28] <wam> crabgrass: that's what I would do too
[12:28] <HOT> is the default shred command enough to make data truly unrecoverable or do  i need to pass more options at the command line?#
[12:28] <crabgrass> wam:  "in use by one or more programs"
[12:28] <stefg> idef: simply delete.Xauthotity, will get regenerated. some wrong permeiisions i guess
[12:28] <gruetamer> are you in windows or linux now?
[12:28] <crabgrass> wam: weird
[12:29] <wam> crabgrass: when you unplug it?
[12:29] <crabgrass> wam: no, when i try to use natulus to unmount it
[12:29] <omnius> this is funny the way i fixed it but im still not happy with it
[12:29] <gruetamer> how did you fix it?
[12:29] <bbrazil> HOT: wipe has more options, physicall shredding the disk, heating it to its fermi level,a big magnet or some explosive might produce better results
[12:29] <jscinoz> hey guys, i'm fixing up an old icon pack with the old naming scheme, what should the desktop icon be called in the new naming scheme?
[12:29] <wam> crabgrass: it basically displays the same message as the umount command
[12:29] <southafrikanse> bbrazil: I know
[12:29] <crabgrass> wam: yeah
[12:30] <crabgrass> wam: can i unmount with pmount?
[12:30] <HOT> bbrazil: thanks
[12:30] <omnius> i resized my primary partition(the one with xxp on it, and installed 7.04 server, then rewrote the menu.lst so it looks kinda normal
 ther server is a ubuntu and the client is windows
[12:30] <crabgrass> wam: 'cause that's how i got it there, ratther than using mount, and i think that might be part of it
[12:30] <omnius> weird huh
[12:30] <gruetamer> so...whats the slave drive for, data?
[12:30] <wam> crabgrass: I think it will make no difference
[12:30] <gruetamer> omnius: and no, thats not really that weird
[12:31] <gruetamer> wanna hear weird?
[12:31] <omnius> yep
[12:31] <crabgrass> wam: alrigght
[12:31] <gruetamer> i have to delete the root line for my grub entries for them to work properly
[12:31] <GAPeach> lethu: I don't know if you're still here, but this CD has been used before and it worked fine. By reinstalling Windows, do you mean erasing the partition and installing it again?
[12:31] <wam> crabgrass: how long are you waiting for your device to beavailable again?
[12:31] <gruetamer> nobody can explain it, and everybody whos heard me say it says that its impossible
[12:31] <omnius> lol
[12:31] <TheGateKeeper> artabrahao: not sure what you are trying to do, Remote Desktop on Windows is used to control other windows pc's, if your server is linux you can use freenx & nxclient from here: http://www.nomachine.com/download.php, or you could just use VNC on both machines
[12:31] <crabgrass> wam: just now unoplugged it
[12:32] <gruetamer> but i know why
[12:32] <crabgrass> wam: it powers on, at least
[12:32] <gruetamer> i think
[12:32] <jason__> how i install a bin game file
[12:32] <kestri> how do I activate the cube in Beryl???
[12:32] <gruetamer> i think its because i put it on the external hard drive's mbr, and since all the data is on there, it doesnt have to look for it...or, it might work if i make it hd0 since grub thinks that its the main hd, even though its not
[12:32] <gruetamer> its complicated
[12:32] <wam> crabgrass: I usually have the same behaviour while connecting my mobile phone
[12:32] <crabgrass> wam: oh man, and both songs are here.... awesome
[12:33] <HOT> kestri: at the cli type beryl-manager
[12:33] <omnius> what would happed if i setup grub with the (hd1,0) option?
[12:33] <stefg> !effect | kestri
[12:33] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about effect - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:33] <stefg> !effects | kestri
[12:33] <ubotu> kestri: For help with Beryl or Compiz desktop effects, please go to #ubuntu-effects.
[12:33] <gruetamer> that would install grub to the master boot record of the ide slave drive
[12:33] <kestri> cli?
[12:33] <HOT> command line, terminal
[12:33] <tim167> how can i send an email from the terminal?
[12:33] <wam> crabgrass: what I do is load the songs, , then umount WITH NAUTILUS, and wait until the progress bar stops mooving
[12:33] <crabgrass> wam: yeah, ubuntu and usb do not get along for me... they will mount/unmount just fine for a month or two, then one day something will go wrong in either the mount or unmount, and i cannot get it to work again without doing a full reinstall
[12:34] <kestri> i already have the beryl-manager running. is there a key shortcut to do it?
 I dont undestand why user vnc if in ubuntu there is an optin called remote destkop. Can I connect the server remote like in front the computer using remote desktop installed in linux server?
[12:34] <wam> crabgrass: I think some of the songs maybe actually be O Ko
[12:34] <stefg> tim167: by installing a program for that... mutt would be a cli-mail program
[12:34] <wam> crabgrass: you can check it be pugging it again
[12:34] <crabgrass> wam: both of mine seem alright... but they're 2 hours, so i'll have to listen to the whole thing
[12:34] <southafrikanse> How do I watch youtube on Kubuntu?
[12:34] <Elm> Wha does the screen that says nautilus on it mean?
[12:34] <HOT> kestri: go to the "desktop" top and put a tick in "desktop cube
[12:34] <HyperDevil> hello guys, is it possible to permanently disable screen blanking on the console?
[12:34] <crabgrass> wam: nah, not gonna do that, i don't want to risk losing them, lol
[12:34] <southafrikanse> Is it the same as in Ubuntu?
[12:34] <tim167> stefg, i tried it before but i couldnt figure it out, is mutt complicated to use ?
[12:35] <wam> crabgrass: actually, you can do the test, as long as you don't write on it, you'll be able to umount smoothly
[12:35] <kestri> ok, did that. but how do i activate it?
[12:35] <crabgrass> southafrikanse: yes, kbuntu is essentialy the same as ubuntu, except that it's using KDE as a window manager instead of Gnome
[12:35] <kestri> is it alt+tab, or something like that?
[12:35] <wam> crabgrass: I got exactly the same bhaviour with my mobile phone
[12:35] <crabgrass> wam: hmm... that hasn't always been my luck.
[12:35] <HOT> kestri: press ctrl + alt + right
[12:35] <stefg> tim167: it has it's learning curve... elm or pine are easier, but i don't know if there's ubuntu-packages for them.... this is all stoneage
[12:35] <crabgrass> wam: thanks for your help, mate
[12:36] <crabgrass> wam: im on my way out
[12:36] <wam> crabgrass: next time, unmount using nautilus and wait until it's proceed
[12:36] <kestri> wow. cool
[12:36] <wam> crabgrass: ok, bye ;-)
[12:36] <kestri> is there a way to zoom out and see the whole cube?
[12:36] <trpr> kestri: try ctrl + alt + leftmouse ... look around
[12:36] <HOT> kestri: now press ctrl + alt and holding the leftmouse drag around
[12:36] <tim167> stefg: ok. im in for some reading again then ... thanks
[12:36] <jscinoz> hey guys, i'm fixing up an old icon pack with the old naming scheme, what should the desktop icon be called in the new naming scheme?
[12:36] <wam> rr_lap: I love you, but I've to go. Bye bro ;-)
[12:36] <clearzen> how can you view a running process in a terminal remotely? aka I want to watch a make command remotely that is already running.
[12:36] <kestri> THATS INCREDIBLE!
[12:37] <kestri> is there a way to zoom out though?
[12:37] <omnius> stand back
[12:37] <gruetamer> lol
[12:37] <Elm> How do you format a HD with ubuntu?
[12:37] <gruetamer> kestri: i dont run 3d effects, but try the scroll wheel or something
[12:37] <gruetamer> Elm: you can partition your hard drive in the installer
[12:37] <stefg> Elm: format a hd, or make a filesystem on a partition ?
[12:38] <kestri> nope, that doesn't work
[12:38] <Elm> Grut: Thats the icon that says install on the little dektop thing right?
[12:38] <Peppery> How do I sync my Ubuntu Server with an external ntp server?
[12:38] <gruetamer> kestri: well, sorry that didnt work, im only guessing here, but now, i dont know what to tell ya
[12:38] <omnius> what about qtparted
[12:38] <gruetamer> omnius: gparted is more fully featured than qtparted
[12:38] <omnius> cool
[12:39] <HOT> Peppery: if you right click the time on the taskbar, you can input an ntp server there
[12:39] <skimonsta> where would be the best forum for network configuration issues?
[12:39] <tijn> heya ppl
[12:40] <stefg> !info ntpdate | Peppery

[12:42] <gruetamer> tijn: mind taking a screenshot of alsamixer for me?
[12:43] <tijn> sure
[12:43] <stefg> gruetamer: let loose.... it's a frequent bug, and solved by recompiling alsa
[12:43] <gruetamer> stefg: im just curious
[12:44] <tijn> crap my nick isnt regged

[12:45] <Rictoo> I tried printing something with lpr
[12:45] <Rictoo> but it didn't exactly work, and after that was done, my printer began printing hundreds of blank pages
[12:45] <Rictoo> How do I stop it? :\
[12:45] <stefg> Rictoo: pull the plug ?
[12:45] <Rictoo> I did

[12:45] <Rictoo> :/
[12:46] <iShock> Hello. I have installed Windows Vista. If I install Ubuntu after that, will it cause problems?
[12:46] <isabelabadone> can someone help me (gasp) install a windows partition?
[12:46] <stefg> iShock: not for Ubuntu :-)
[12:46] <cycom> iShock: quite frankly, that's how you SHOULD do it.
[12:46] <omnius> lol
[12:46] <HOT> Rictoo: "cancel -a"
[12:46] <peterka> iShock: only for Vista:P
[12:46] <tijn> gruetamer: http://www.linux-docs.org/media/snapshot1.png
[12:46] <wir3> can anyone help me with beryl and xgl
[12:46] <IE> hi... scenario... clean install windows then clean install (k)ubuntu...then clean install mandriva...does not find (k)ubuntu on installing grub..decide to delete mandriva ... question... how do i reinstall grub to pick up windows and (k)ubuntu?
[12:46] <ianm> seems wireless stopped working with 2.6.20-15-386 and orinoco_cs , anyone seen this?
[12:46] <iShock> So both Vista and Ubuntu will work??
[12:47] <cycom> wir3: #ubuntu-effects
[12:47] <Rictoo> HOT: What does that do?
[12:47] <gruetamer> tijn: hmm...i think you should recompile alsa, i dont know what to tell you
[12:47] <eifzon> anyone here that got a domain from mydomain.com ?
[12:47] <tijn> :) ok
[12:47] <HOT> Rictoo: it cancels all print jobs
[12:47] <maxius> i had some problems connecting wap encrypted wireless routers whit kubuntu 6.10, it froze all the time,when i connected, had no problem whit ubuntu though, anyone know if this wireless thing has been betther whit kubuntu 7.04?
[12:47] <ianm> (with network-manager, the card's light comes on meaning it sees the AP, but network-manager doesn't show the network)
[12:47] <omnius> IE: i just did the same thing basically with kanotix
[12:47] <tijn> thnx for the both of you!
[12:47] <wir3> cycom, thanks
[12:47] <cycom> wir3: np
[12:47] <SamWise_TheGreat> does anybody here know how to get cedega or wine to run my windows games with the open source ati driver? because for some reason I can only get it to work with the fglrx driver.
[12:47] <tijn> btw, if i just apt-get remove alsa* --purge
[12:47] <grimboy> Anyone got a suggestion for nes emulators on linux with debuggers and aren't name FCEUltra or Mednafen?
[12:47] <RavenTux> Can the mouse be set up for single click in ubuntu??
[12:48] <tijn> and re-apt, doenst that work?
[12:48] <iShock> So both Vista and Ubuntu will work if I install Vista, format HDD, then install Ubuntu?
[12:48] <gruetamer> SamWise_TheGreat: eh, i use the proprietary drivers because they work better for me, even though i desperately want to get the open source ones to work, but...lets see...
[12:48] <gruetamer> do they just not work, or are they slow and stuff?
[12:49] <SamWise_TheGreat> they just don't work
[12:49] <SamWise_TheGreat> speed isn't a factor
[12:49] <Crazyisraelie> Ummm  I have a question? I have restalled Ubuntu three times on this old server my sister sent me and everytime GRUB exploded on me
[12:49] <gruetamer> Crazyisraelie: what do you mean by exploded?
[12:49] <stefg> iShock: leave around 5 Gigs of space unused (minimum)when you partition for Vista. the ubuntu installer will take them later
[12:49] <Crazyisraelie> The screen would fill with GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB when I boot it up
 I dont undestand why user vnc if in ubuntu there is an optin called remote destkop. Can I connect the server remote like in front the computer using remote desktop installed in linux server?
[12:50] <IE> ANYONE HELP PLEASE...scenario... clean install windows then clean install (k)ubuntu...then clean install mandriva...does not find (k)ubuntu on installing grub..decide to delete mandriva ... question... how do i reinstall grub to pick up windows and (k)ubuntu?
[12:50] <echosa> hi channel! anyone up for a troubleshooting session? google and the ubuntu forums have not helped....
[12:50] <Crazyisraelie> I realize that grub is the booter
[12:50] <trpr> grimboy: here are a dozen http://www.zophar.net/unix/nes.html
[12:50] <iShock> stefg: I used all my HDD space for Vista. I do, however, have a LiveCD of GParted.
[12:50] <grimboy> trpr, Thanks.
[12:50] <omnius> IE: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[12:50] <Crazyisraelie> Does anyone have a way to solve my problem?
[12:50] <gruetamer> IE: in the terminal, type grub-install (hd0,0) to install grub to the mbr
[12:51] <gruetamer> Crazyisraelie: try reinstalling grub
[12:51] <iShock> stefg: I used all my HDD space for Vista. I do, however, have a LiveCD of GParted.
[12:51] <Crazyisraelie> How should I do that?
[12:51] <mhydronic> hi there. installed ubuntu, my first linux distribution, a couple of days ago so very new. i have a few questions
[12:51] <sudobash> god why would you install vista?
[12:51] <yo_noob> trying again,  my X server hangs when I do logout, shutdown is OK. AMD64, 7.04, fglrx Any clues to debug?
[12:51] <stefg> iShock: use that, or let the installer use gparted for you... but shrinking NTFS isn't too reliable anyway, so make abackup first
[12:51] <Elm> Oh hell, why would a HD tht was showign fine an hour ago not show up now ;.;
[12:51] <tijn> gruetamer: recompiling alsa, what packages does that include?
[12:51] <omnius> grub help  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[12:51] <gruetamer> tijn: to be honest, i do not know
[12:51] <Crazyisraelie> Thanks
[12:51] <iShock> stefg: and Ubuntu will do it?
[12:52] <sudobash> linux is much more fun than vista
[12:52] <IE> omniue and gruetamer thankx guyz
[12:52] <sudobash> :)
[12:52] <gruetamer> your welcome
[12:52] <gruetamer> sudobash: i like the name :)
[12:52] <HOT> unless your a gamer
[12:52] <BillTheFish> Anyone have experience with Dansguardian? I hate to ask here but i can't seem to find any help anywhere else
[12:52] <stefg> iShock: yup, the installer uses gparted to make room
[12:52] <omnius> im still stuck
[12:52] <mhydronic> i dont really use aim anymore so i dont want gaim installed. but when i try to uninstall it says ubuntu-desktop will be removed too. is this ok?
[12:52] <gruetamer> HOT: i do all my gaming in linux, im fine
[12:52] <echosa> hm... it seems people just shout out there questions, so I suppose I will follow suit. xorg crashes when ever I try to play a movie in either mplayer or totem. It worked fine before, but stopped working after I installed the ati drivers adn enabled 3d
[12:52] <HOT> gruetamer: cool for you, im not
[12:52] <tijn> stefg : do know what packages alsa includes?
[12:52] <omnius> if there is a way that i can copy my partition from the slave drive to my primary drive safely then i'd be interested
[12:53] <tijn> (forgot ur nick) :D
[12:53] <sudobash> grutamer: do you use Cedega or Wine?
[12:53] <SamWise_TheGreat> as soon as I get my nvidia card im gonna uninstall windows for good
[12:53] <sudobash> gruetamer:
[12:53] <rr_lap> how can i fix my resume from suspend, when I resume my suspended IBM ThinkPad T22 running Ubuntu 7.04 my pcmcia atheros chip NETGEAR card does not work and my sound does not work
[12:53] <gruetamer> SamWise_TheGreat: ahh, i did that, it feels nice when you take gparted and delete the windows partition, and make ubuntu bigger, its a good feeling
[12:53] <stefg> tijn: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=111870
[12:54] <SamWise_TheGreat> lol
[12:54] <tijn> thnx m8!
[12:54] <omnius> i use cedega and play bf1942 1.61 no probs
[12:54] <isabelabadone> does anyone know anything about running windows in a virtual drive?
[12:54] <SamWise_TheGreat> gruetamer why won't gparted make me expand my ubuntu partition leftward?
[12:54] <echosa> isabelabadone: I do that using VirtualBox (free program)
[12:54] <gruetamer> isabelabadone: yeah, virtualbox is a good program, i recommend it
[12:55] <gruetamer> SamWise_TheGreat: uh...i should know this...
[12:55] <isabelabadone> how much memory can i allocate with VirtualBox?
[12:55] <echosa> isabelabadone: as much as you want
[12:55] <sudobash> virtualbox would be a good gaming alternative to both wine and cedega
[12:55] <SamWise_TheGreat> gruetamer it happens with quite a few of my partioning programs but I could of sworn that I had a windows parttioning program that let me do it
[12:55] <sid> I have this avi file(mp3 + xvid) and the video doesn't show in totem, or in vlc or mplayer. But it shows fine in avidemux program. But avidemux is for editing, not viewing
[12:55] <sudobash> but how are the FPS?
[12:56] <isabelabadone> can i use all of my memory for my windows drive to run photoshop cs3
[12:56] <echosa> sudobash: except that virtualbox requires installing windows, wine and cedega do not
[12:56] <isabelabadone> i only have 500 MB
[12:56] <sudobash> true
[12:56] <sid> Is there a codec/package I'm missing? I have libxvidcore4 installed
[12:56] <sudobash> easy for any techie though
[12:56] <echosa> isabelabadone: it might work but you need more memory than that just to run windows well, let alone run CS inside windows inside a virtual machine
[12:56] <sudobash> now install OpenBSD...
[12:56] <sudobash> thats a different story
[12:57] <isabelabadone> echosa: that's what i thought. so i should dual boot?
[12:57] <HOT> linux is not for gaming, i dealt with that ages ago, i think its cruel to send people on a wild chase with cadega or wine
[12:57] <echosa> isabelabadone: that choice is yours to make, but either way, I would still install more memory
[12:57] <omnius> samwise: if there was a partition after it at one stage and you created the current one at the end of the drive then it wont let you go leftwards
[12:57] <sudobash> OpenBsd in Ubuntu would be useless though... it would be like having a really secure machine in a simi secure machine
[12:57] <gruetamer> HOT: that depends on what you want to play :P
[12:57] <jscinoz_> hey guys, i'm fixing up an old icon pack with the old naming scheme, what should the desktop icon be called in the new naming scheme?
[12:57] <echosa> isabelabadone: cs and windows are both memory hogs
[12:57] <HOT> altough i did kinda get jagged alliance running
[12:58] <VuS4nO> algun espaol?
[12:58] <sudobash> yeah windows is much better for gaming
[12:58] <skimonsta> dual booting would be a better use way to utilize your hardware...bare metal installs are much more efficient
[12:58] <sudobash> linux is for hacking
[12:58] <sudobash> and programming
[12:58] <ianm> VuS4nO: si
[12:58] <sudobash> and learning
[12:58] <VuS4nO> nice :D
[12:58] <gruetamer> linux is better for opengl gaming than windows is, at least in my experiences
[12:58] <georgy28> !es
[12:58] <ubotu> Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[12:58] <echosa> linux is for everything
[12:58] <VuS4nO> oa D:
[12:58] <isabelabadone> ok, so how can i create a windows partition?
[12:58] <VuS4nO> thx
[12:58] <ianm> sudobash: yeah welcome to 1995
[12:58] <SamWise_TheGreat> linux is for anything you want it to do windows is for a couple of games and a couple of windows only applications
[12:58] <gruetamer> and since i play opengl games only, even in windows...im fine
[12:58] <sudobash> yeah linux is much better for opengl
[12:58] <echosa> isabelabadone: depends on if you are dual booting or running a VM
[12:59] <orsonork> opengl is the best
[12:59] <skimonsta> isabeladone: do you have unalocated space on your hard drive
[12:59] <isabelabadone> dualboot is the only option
[12:59] <orsonork> better than microsoft directx
[12:59] <sudobash> all im saying is that the FPS in linux in gaming sucks
[12:59] <gruetamer> orsonork: yup
[12:59] <isabelabadone> skimonsta, no it is all allocated to ubuntu
[12:59] <gruetamer> sudobash: i get better framerates in ut2k4 in linux in gnome than i did in windows xp
[12:59] <sudobash> unless you have a super fast machine
[12:59] <gruetamer> and i have a mediocre machine with dusty fans that i need to clean
[01:00] <echosa> isabelabadone: then you'll need to use a program like parted to shrink your current partition to make room for a new one
[01:00] <ianm> sudobash: maybe so re FPS, but if you think ubuntu is for hackers only, open your eyes to what's happening :)
[01:00] <omnius> anyone had experience using gps mapping progs with realtime positioning on linux?
[01:00] <HOT> ok
[01:00] <skimonsta> isabelabadone: you need either another drive or you need to resize your partitioning
[01:00] <sudobash> Isnt there a linux version of UT maybe a opengl version......
[01:00] <anonymeeee> how do i restart my video card?
[01:00] <isabelabadone> ok, thanks guys
[01:00] <HOT> name me 3 directx9 shader 2.0 games that run in ubuntu starting .... now
[01:00] <echosa> I'm going to try a fix for my problem, might be back
[01:00] <hjacob> Ubuntu is for lazy hackers ^^
[01:00] <echosa> bye room
[01:00] <orsonork> the problem is that there are not many games for linux
[01:00] <SamWise_TheGreat> is ut2k7 going to be native to linux?
[01:00] <gruetamer> sudobash: ut2k4 supports linux out of the box
[01:00] <Elm>  dont think the HD works anymore...
[01:00] <gruetamer> its native
[01:00] <sudobash> ianm ubuntu is user friendly to a degree but it has bugs
[01:00] <anonymeeee> !video card
[01:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about video card - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:00] <ianm> sudobash: right, and vista?
[01:00] <ianm> sudobash: no bugs there
[01:01] <sudobash> vista is shit
[01:01] <orsonork> yes
[01:01] <sudobash> xp is shit
[01:01] <orsonork> compiz is good
[01:01] <gruetamer> vista is a resource hog
[01:01] <orsonork> very good
[01:01] <sudobash> 98 is shit
[01:01] <orsonork> better than aero
[01:01] <Magus-> is PPC Ubuntu supported as well as x86/etc are?
[01:01] <orsonork> sucking aero
[01:01] <gruetamer> xp was actually good
[01:01] <omnius> 98se isn't bad
[01:01] <sudobash> XGL and Beryl are better than compiz
[01:01] <gruetamer> i thought it was good, i just dont use it
[01:01] <orsonork> xgl too
[01:01] <sudobash> XP has way to many bugs
[01:01] <orsonork> haha
[01:01] <sudobash> openbsd is this best OS
[01:01] <Magus-> I have both an Intel and PPC Mac Mini and I'd like to put Ubuntu on one of them, but I'm not sure which would be better
[01:01] <gruetamer> its one of the stabler windows OS's
[01:01] <tijn> stefg, gruetamer i found it!, i only have to run kill $(lsof -t /dev/dsp* /dev/audio* /dev/mixer* /dev/snd/*) ; sudo modprobe -r $(lsmod |grep ^snd |awk '{print $1}') && sudo modprobe snd-hda-codec && sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel model=auto and it works!!
[01:01] <orsonork> sp1, sp2, many, many bugs
[01:01] <sudobash> and FreeBSD and Mac OSX
[01:02] <rukuartic> Anyone here gone about recompiling the kernel? I just did, and it won't boot... So I'm safely back in my old kernel to see if I can fix it.
[01:02] <gruetamer> rukuartic: kernel panic'd?
[01:02] <rukuartic> gruetamer: No it wouldn't even boot =\
[01:02] <HOT> im not here to flame, just pointing out the totally obvious, windows games dont run on linux, period
[01:02] <anonymeeee> !video adapter
[01:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about video adapter - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:02] <gruetamer> did you change the grub menu.lst file?
[01:02] <Chousuke> HOT: yes they do. Some of them.
[01:02] <gruetamer> HOT: thats not true
[01:02] <Chousuke> HOT: Don't over-generalise :)
[01:02] <gruetamer> its partially true, but not entirely true
[01:03] <HOT> im not
[01:03] <omnius> playstation games dont run on xbox either
[01:03] <rukuartic> HOT: I'm totally running a old win95 game right now.
[01:03] <sudobash> if you switch a network card around in different card around on a pci bus, instead of actually deleteing the card and adding the same one in a different location as in linux, windows XP will actually keep adding network cards up till 10 or 11 times......
[01:03] <gnomefreak> HOT: use wine or cedega
[01:03] <ianm> omnius: haha
[01:03] <tijn> ok ppl, iam off watchin a movie (with sound!) bb all!
[01:03] <ianm> omnius: I'm baffled by that too :(
[01:03] <Chousuke> Wine works very well nowadays
[01:03] <gnomefreak> alot of games will play
[01:03] <stefg> tijn: where did u find that? link?
[01:03] <gruetamer> sudobash: now, thats amusing :)
[01:03] <HOT> why do you presume i havnt tried wine or cadega?
[01:03] <georgy28> anonymeeee  ctrlaltbackspace
[01:03] <tijn> stefg erhm
[01:03] <tijn> dunno let me see
[01:03] <HOT> or right now im not writting a custom bottle to try and get fallout 2 working
[01:03] <rukuartic> HOT: Because you say, "Win games don't work on linux, period." Which isn't entirely true.
[01:03] <Chousuke> it's still not easy to use, but it does work, with some effort
[01:03] <gnomefreak> HOT: because you wouldnt be saying that in that general of a statment
[01:03] <HOT> fact is, windows games dont work in linux
[01:03] <tijn> stefg: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[01:03] <Magus-> some do HOT, so you're wrong
[01:03] <Magus-> the end
[01:03] <georgy28> anonymeeee : ctrl+alt+backspace
[01:03] <sudobash> just bugs like that keep windows vulnerable and unstable
[01:04] <HOT> no they dont
[01:04] <gruetamer> some do
[01:04] <HOT> prove me wrong
[01:04] <Magus-> sure they do - people play WoW, EVE, etc
[01:04] <tijn> explains its all (recompiling etc)
[01:04] <gnomefreak> HOT: if your gonna continue i ask that you do it elsewhere
[01:04] <HOT> show me the gold list from wine
[01:04] <sudobash> its stable if you dont mess with it sometimes and if its in the right environment
[01:04] <jlmb> Hi, the closing the lid is no longer turning off my display.
[01:04] <Magus-> STFU until you know what you're talking about
[01:04] <HOT> that names 100% working games
[01:04] <gruetamer> ive seen a screenshot of someone playing half life 2 in ubuntu
[01:04] <HOT> starting
[01:04] <ianm> HOT: come on give it up man :)  has anyone ever run a windows game in linux?  yes, so...
[01:04] <HOT> now....
[01:04] <rukuartic> !language
[01:04] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[01:04] <stefg> tijn: see if that works after reboot
[01:04] <HOT> link me
[01:04] <omnius> bf1942
[01:04] <tijn> Wow
[01:04] <tijn> COD
[01:04] <tijn> ;)
[01:04] <gruetamer> ut2k4 definitely works
[01:04] <eric1968> hiya
[01:05] <sudobash> ianm Counter Strike Source under wine in ubuntu 6.10 was to slow FPS wise
[01:05] <Chousuke> Last time I tried, Fallout 2 worked just fine :P
[01:05] <tijn> stefg, i will :) at least its a quick fix
[01:05] <tijn> :)
[01:05] <Chousuke> and that was over a year ago
[01:05] <sudobash> thats my experience
[01:05] <Magus-> so... ubuntu ppc - worth using, or should I stick to x86? :)
[01:05] <tijn> iam off now bb all
[01:05] <gruetamer> sudobash: steam + css = resource hog
[01:05] <gruetamer> and wine makes it worse
[01:05] <gruetamer> but the game WORKED, just slowly, if you think about it :)
[01:05] <Chousuke> So I don't know what HOT was doing, but he was obviously doing it wrong ;)
[01:05] <sudobash> but there are games that are made with linux thata are awsome
[01:05] <ianm> Magus-: stick to x86 if you have the option
[01:05] <sudobash> like quake 2 in the old days
[01:05] <gruetamer> quake 2...ahh
[01:05] <gruetamer> good times
[01:05] <sudobash> linux quake 2
[01:05] <tijn> nn all
[01:05] <Magus-> ianm: any particular reason? or just worse in general?
[01:06] <HOT> when i grow up i want to be an admin so i can stiffle honest debate too
[01:06] <gnomefreak> sudobash: gruetamer as i asked hot to do please take it elsewhere
[01:06] <eric1968> when I download an ISO file, do I need to extract it from the RAR file?  It shows up in windows with the icon that looks like a stack of books, and doesn't pass the md5sum test
[01:06] <Magus-> (I have both an Intel and PPC mac mini available to be used, so I do have the option either way)
[01:06] <gnomefreak> HOT: this channel is not for debates
[01:06] <sudobash> what?
[01:06] <ianm> Magus-: most things will be fine but some closed-source things, such as browser Flash Players, don't have a PPC version
[01:06] <sudobash> take what else where?
[01:06] <rukuartic> eric1968: Yes you do need to extract it from the RAR file
[01:06] <gruetamer> gnomefreak: im done :)
[01:06] <sudobash> bashing windows?
[01:06] <Magus-> ianm: this would be server only
[01:06] <Magus-> no desktop use
[01:06] <gruetamer> he means the game discussion
[01:06] <Magus-> no X either
[01:06] <gnomefreak> sudobash: the whole game debate
[01:06] <Magus-> :)
[01:06] <stefg> eric1968: don't unpack. burn the image to disk as is
[01:06] <ianm> Magus-: ah, that would probably be fine then
[01:06] <eric1968> ruk when I extract, it doens't give me one iso file, I see a bunch of folders and files show up
[01:07] <sudobash> so i can bash windows?
[01:07] <gnomefreak> no
[01:07] <stefg> !burn
[01:07] <ubotu> 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
[01:07] <gruetamer> eric1968: you might need to make it an iso
[01:07] <rukuartic> eric1968: Does the name of the file end in .iso, or .rar?
[01:07] <gnomefreak> sudobash: this channel is for nothing but ubuntu support if you can not stick to that topic join #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:07] <Ratkid134> any particlarly good software for mounting CD images?
[01:07] <Checkka> How do I adjust the order in which my programs start up in 'sessions' in ubuntu?
[01:07] <eric1968> ok, so I'll have to download the iso again because the cd i made doesn't work, tho it does boot, but the hash of the iso file doesn't work
[01:07] <eric1968> the file ends in .iso but looks like an rar file
[01:08] <Magus-> then it isn't a rar file
[01:08] <rukuartic> eric1968: Oh, then winrar has just taken over the iso extention :P
[01:08] <Magus-> iso is just associated with winrar
[01:08] <rukuartic> eric1968: Just burn it right to a CD
[01:08] <Magus-> don't extract it
[01:08] <gruetamer> you dont need to extract iso files
[01:08] <Magus-> ianm: do you happen to know if the installer can resize a mac partition like it can ntfs?
[01:08] <stefg> eric1968: no... windows-rar just grabs the extension
[01:08] <isabelabadone> so, I now have gparted to create a new partition, but it won't let me create a new section. it's like i don't have permission or something
[01:08] <eric1968> ok, I guess I just downloaded a bad ISO
[01:08] <gnomefreak> eric1968: burn it to cd using burn cd image
[01:08] <sudobash> ok well here is something interesting... i found out how to burn .mdfs in linux...
[01:08] <gruetamer> lol
[01:08] <Chousuke> sudobash: rename them to .isos?
[01:08] <Chousuke> :P
[01:09] <ianm> Magus-: no, sorry
[01:09] <eric1968> the disk I burned will boot, but when I try to do anything it says it can't read the disk
[01:09] <Rab22> isabelabadone: what error does it give you?
[01:09] <Chousuke> they're mostly just ISO images with some additional header data anyway
[01:09] <sudobash> no run magiciso in wine and convert it to iso... it wont let you burn it until you convert
[01:09] <Magus-> anyone else? can the installer resize a mac partition? :)
[01:09] <eric1968> I appreciate the help guys
[01:09] <omnius> is magic iso like ultra iso
[01:09] <isabelabadone> Rab22, no error. it just doesn't let me create a new partition. the icon to do so is greyed out
[01:09] <omnius> ?
[01:09] <sudobash> sorta
[01:10] <gruetamer> dont you have to pay for magic iso?
[01:10] <sudobash> i used a free trial
[01:10] <sudobash> AHHH ESP
[01:10] <gruetamer> well, that answers my question :)
[01:10] <rukuartic> Is it a bad thing to get warnings when you're compiling a kernel?
[01:10] <Rab22> isabelabadone: when you opened up Gparted, it is request root privs?
[01:10] <isabelabadone> yes
[01:10] <jlmb> Hi, closing the lid is no longer turning off my display.
[01:10] <sudobash> rukuartic might be a dependecy problem
[01:10] <isabelabadone> Rab22: i started it in terminal using sudo to get root. is that right?
[01:10] <rukuartic> sudobash: Ever built your own kernel?
[01:11] <sudobash> sudo bash
[01:11] <eric1968> btw, is there a way to run dual monitors under Ubuntu?
[01:11] <sudobash> long time ago im not really the guy to ask on thata
[01:11] <Rab22> isabelabadone: yeah, you can do that -- you may want to use gksu instead; but either way....and it had you enter your root password, correct?
[01:11] <isabelabadone> yes
[01:11] <stefg> !xinerama | eric1968
[01:11] <ubotu> eric1968: xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead
[01:11] <sudobash> but it sounds like it might be a dependecy problem without getting to deep in it
[01:11] <sudobash> check the errors and read them
[01:12] <eric1968> ok, thanks again guys - you all have a great weekend
[01:12] <jscinoz_> What should the icon for desktop in an icon pack be named?
[01:12] <iShock> Help! I tried to use the  resize first partition option on install, it's like doing nothing stefg
[01:12] <sudobash> if it says could not find so and so then it might be a dependecy problem
[01:12] <Rab22> isabelabadone: have you used Gparted to do anything else? or is this the first thing you are trying?
[01:12] <sudobash> download what it says it needs to continue
[01:12] <sudobash> and install it
[01:12] <isabelabadone> Rab22: it still won't let me click the icons for resizing the partitions. i have used it in the past, but not on this laptop
[01:12] <sudobash> all
[01:12] <Rab22> isabelabadone: you can always use the command utility 'fdisk' to perform the same tasks as Gparted to create the partition
[01:13] <sudobash> are there no OPERATORS in here?
[01:13] <anonymeeee> !resolution
[01:13] <iShock> Help! I tried to use the  resize first partition option on install, it's like doing nothing stefg
[01:13] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[01:13] <isabelabadone> Rab22: yeh, but i'm still not so good with the command line
[01:13] <rukuartic> sudobash: If you get an error it doesn't compile... warnings do tho'
[01:13] <stefg> iShock: yeah... gparted might have trouble handling the NFS version which comes with vista... and iShock.... don't repeat, i need time for typing
[01:13] <sudobash> post an eroor and maybe someone or i can help
[01:13] <stefg> *NTFS
[01:13] <Rab22> isabelabadone: I'm sorry, I'm not too sure; I've had problems with Gparted in the past...but those were with it auto-mounting partitions before it tries to format them
[01:14] <sudobash> im aout to go to a concert but i might help if im still here
[01:14] <sudobash> about
[01:14] <Rab22> isabelabadone: how many partitions do you have?
[01:14] <iShock> Resize /dev/sda1 from 55.89 GiB to 24.41 GiB
[01:14] <iShock> It failed
[01:14] <isabelabadone> Rab22: just the linux partition and a swap
[01:14] <philbo_> sudobash: what are you going to see at the concert?
[01:14] <sudobash> iShock it sounds like your trying to resize the whole disk
[01:14] <sudobash> 2 bands
[01:14] <Rab22> isabelabadone: and you are trying to resize the linux one or are you trying to format unallocated space into a new linux partition?
[01:15] <philbo_> sudobash: i meant the names of the bands ;o)
[01:15] <sudobash> Cranksenatra
[01:15] <sudobash> and Shoosta
[01:15] <isabelabadone> Rab22: trying to create a new partition on which i will install windows xp
[01:15] <iShock> sudobash: I installed Vista on to all my space into one partition *Stupid, I know*
[01:15] <sudobash> hey i was curious
[01:16] <iShock> stefg: Should I use my LiveCD from GParted?
[01:16] <sudobash> maybe your mad cause you hate Vista
[01:16] <stefg> iShock: try if your gparted CD can handle it, otherwise you have to make room by means of a windows partitioning program.
[01:16] <Rab22> isabelabadone: and you have free/unallocated space to use?
[01:16] <isabelabadone> Rab22: no, it is all formatted for linux
[01:17] <iShock> Kay stefg: I know it's the lastest one, I made it last night or two nights ago :O
[01:17] <Rab22> isabelabadone: okay, so you want to resize the current linux partition?
[01:17] <omnius> can i move my ubuntu from one drive to another and if so do the partitions have to be the same size?
[01:17] <Rab22> isabelabadone: are you running on the LiveCD?
[01:17] <Checkka> Is there a way to setup the startup order of programs in sessions?
[01:17] <Checkka> Does anyone know of a way in ubuntu?
[01:17] <sudobash> does anyone know why there are 10 network adapters in vista... i noticed in the ipconfig it show 10... didnt really look into it
[01:17] <isabelabadone> Rab22: yes and no i am not running on the LiveCD
[01:17] <Rab22> omnius: yes, you can do that using the 'dd' command -- and yes they do have to be the same size
[01:17] <omnius> then just resize afterwards
[01:18] <omnius> ok
[01:18] <omnius> dd?
[01:18] <sudobash> is it because of the TCP2?
[01:18] <Rab22> isabelabadone: well that's probably the reason why; I don't think Gparted will allow you to resize the partition if you are using it =)
[01:18] <isabelabadone> ahh, ok. so what should i do?
[01:18] <isabelabadone> use the live cd?
[01:19] <Stormx2> omnius: I had to do the same thing recently. I created the new partitions, and ran a cp -av
[01:19] <Rab22> isabelabadone: well if you have the liveCD, all you need to do is boot it up and then run Gparted
[01:19] <Rab22> just as you would normally
[01:19] <Rab22> and see if it will then allow you to resize your partition
[01:19] <Checkka> Does anyone know how to change the startup order of programs in ubuntu?
[01:19] <isabelabadone> is gparted on the live CD?
[01:19] <gil> hello does anyone here have a logitech wireless keyboard/mouse setup with feisty?
[01:19] <Stormx2> isabelabadone: Yeah
[01:19] <Rab22> Checkka: in Sessions I believe
[01:19] <philbo_> Checkka: i've been wondering that too, but I never found a way
[01:19] <isabelabadone> great, thanks everyone
[01:19] <Rab22> isabelabadone: yes, the LiveCD has Gparted
[01:19] <dru> hello
[01:19] <Checkka> Rab22: but theres no way to specify th eorder
[01:20] <ICFAGS> doo i is new to dis shid
[01:20] <dru> for some reason when i run beryl .. when a new window pops up, sometimes the screen of the window is black
[01:20] <Rab22> Checkka: the order number
[01:20] <Magus-> is this still accurate for resizing HFS+ ? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=89960
[01:20] <ICFAGS> help m3s pl3@ase
[01:20] <stefg> isabelabadone: just to throw in some alternatives: a.) there's gimpshop, which is gimp with a photoshop-like interface. b.) if you have enough ram and diskspace for ubuntu consider using a virtualizer to install windows and run PS in there. Would avoid dual booting
[01:20] <Checkka> Rab22: in current session, that doesnt seem to have any affect after restart
[01:20] <isabelabadone> Rab22: thanks for your help
[01:20] <Rab22> Checkka: hmmmmm, hold on
[01:21] <Rab22> isabelabadone: no problem -- I hope that helps!
[01:21] <kazol> How do I setup RAID-1 after installation?
[01:21] <ICFAGS> anyone know any downt base newbie tuts so i can hit that shit
[01:21] <isabelabadone> stefg: thanks. unfortunately i just spent three hours trying to use virtualization software and got nowhere
[01:21] <sudobash> what?
[01:21] <sudobash> IC WHat?
[01:22] <ICFAGS> yeash anyone no any newbie tuts so i can hit that shit
[01:22] <sudobash> uh huh
[01:22] <sudobash> okay...
[01:22] <sudobash> let me think
[01:22] <stefg> isabelabadone: it's as simple as sudo apt-get install vmware-player. what didn't work?
[01:22] <compilerwriter> !language | compilerwriter
[01:22] <Rab22> Checkka: GNOME user-guide says that lower numbered values in the Order element will cause them to start first
[01:22] <sudobash> nope cant think of none....
[01:22] <isabelabadone> stefg: I don't have enough memory to do so properly. gota run it with a dual boot unfortunately.
[01:22] <Rab22> Checkka: have you tried using a number like 10 ?
[01:22] <aspuru> Re all: When I start "Dekstop effects" My windows lose their borders and I can't move them (seems like a Windowmanager absence) any ideas?
[01:22] <Checkka> Rab22: but after restart the order goes back to 50
[01:22] <stefg> isabelabadone: ok,  i see... not enough ram is a killer condition

[01:23] <sudobash> where are you ICFAGS?
[01:23] <Rab22> Checkka: hmmm, try putting the Style element as "Settings"
[01:23] <isabelabadone> stefg: i know. if i install windows to another partition, can i run it in ubuntu later when i upgrade my memory?
[01:23] <sudobash> im the FBI
[01:23] <SysFail> aspuru, try going to a term and starting emerald by hand
[01:23] <SysFail> worked for me
[01:24] <stefg> isabelabadone: not really... possible, but not advisable
[01:24] <Rab22> Checkka: that's the best I can offer, I really don't know why it would not stay at the value you give it
[01:24] <isabelabadone> ok, thanks.
[01:24] <isabelabadone> take care everyone
[01:24] <Abd> hi ppl
[01:24] <Abd> can someone tell where I can find a cisco vpn compatible app?
[01:24] <Checkka> Rab22, thanks anyway
[01:25] <Rab22> Checkka: sorry, I wish I could offer more help
[01:25] <Magus-> hmm, no feisty ppc?
[01:25] <Magus-> or just no isos
[01:25] <stefg> !PPC
[01:25] <ubotu> PowerPC.  Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ
[01:25] <Checkka> Rab22, i still appreciate it
[01:25] <aspuru> Sysfail: what is emerald?
[01:25] <aspuru> Sysfail: the window manager?
[01:25] <SysFail> the window decorations...just goto a term and type emerald...see if it starts them up
[01:25] <SysFail> yeah
[01:26] <Magus-> ok guess that settles that, I'll use the intel mini :)
[01:26] <omnius> beryl theme
[01:26] <SysFail> i had the exact problem
[01:26] <eifzon> Anyone here that got a domain from mydomain.com ?
[01:26] <stefg> Magus-: no more /official/ ubuntu for ppc...
[01:26] <sagematt> I can't switch windows with alt-tab. Is there another key combination for it?
[01:27] <aspuru> emerald depends on ruby
[01:27] <Rab22> sagematt: have you changed it in your keyboard shortcuts perfs?
[01:27] <aspuru> sysfail: I want to use compiz
[01:27] <SysFail> ok aspuru ...emerald works with both
[01:28] <sagematt> Rab22: I can't find the option for changing that precise function.
[01:28] <iShock> stefg: I tried. It booted like something called PC-DOS and said A:\ and I was lost from there
[01:28] <kazol> sudobash: I doubt there are FBI jobs available in Tennesee.
[01:28] <kazol> How do I setup RAID-1 using mdadm?
[01:29] <kazol> Not using the liveCD, but after installation.
[01:29] <sagematt> Rab22: Nevermind, it showed up this time. Thanks for your help.
[01:29] <alex_mayorga> hi, my notification applets "escape" from the notification panel, why is that?
[01:29] <sudobash> kazol... nice whois
[01:29] <irotas> question .. the Services applet lists 'Terminal Multiplexor (screen)' as a service ... I've used 'screen' for years, but can't figure out how it's a service
[01:29] <elpollodiablo> whois kazol
[01:29] <Rab22> sagematt: no problem
[01:29] <irotas> what does the service do that the regular 'screen' application doesn't?
[01:29] <sudobash> but am i using a proxy? or multiple proxies?

[01:30] <kazol> I have tried all RAID howto's already!
[01:30] <Pokit> l00lz
[01:30] <kazol> I need a way to install RAID-1 after installation.
[01:30] <SysFail> sorry aspuru ..that worked for me
[01:30] <sudobash> comcast sucks
[01:31] <kazol> You could do that in Windows Server 2003.
[01:31] <kazol> sudobash: Does Comcast limit your monthly bandwidth?
[01:31] <KevinOman> hello im going to be running a forum on a remote webserver which requires a sql database, do I need to have mysql on my home computer? or just the one which has the forum
[01:31] <iShock> stefg: I got like PC-DOS and it said A:\ like a command prompt on windows....Help =-
[01:31] <sudobash> probably but you wont know it unless you know computers :)
[01:31] <sudobash> yes i believe they do
[01:32] <stefg> iShock: fried your Vista?
[01:32] <unikon> Any idea if Pidgin will be on  Gutsy Gibbon or will it only be an OLD version of GAIM
[01:32] <sudobash> and it is also shared but is the best speed around this area
[01:32] <kazol> sudobash: I've heard they limit it to 100GB\mnth. I have Verizon and use 150-200GBs a month. What's your upload speed?
[01:32] <iShock> I don't think so
[01:32] <KevinOman> unikon im using pidgin
[01:32] <sudobash> 80-100 KBPS
[01:32] <sudobash> kbps
[01:32] <KevinOman> :)
[01:32] <alex_mayorga> hi, my notification applets "escaped" from the notification panel, how do I stick it back in the notification panel?
[01:33] <kazol> sudobash: 80-100Kbit\sec?
[01:33] <sudobash> kilobit
[01:33] <unikon> Kevin0man are you using the beta or official version
[01:33] <sudobash> slow
[01:33] <stefg> iShock: so there's no situation i'm aware of in ubuntu that would issue am A:\ prompt.... what are you running?
[01:33] <iShock> stefg: I wonder...Would GParted-Clonezilla work maybe?
[01:33] <iShock> No
[01:33] <sudobash> not that slow but slower than t3 and fiber
[01:33] <unikon>  Or is PIDGIN already on synaptic
[01:33] <iShock> stefg: I got that booting from GParted LiveCD
[01:34] <kazol> sudobash: I have 768Kbit\sec max, ~83KB avg.
[01:34] <Pokit> yesh
[01:34] <sudobash> wait one sec im stoned let me calculate again
[01:34] <KevinOman> unikon, I downloaded 2.0.0. from their website and compiled it, I think there is a pre-compiled package somewhere though
[01:34] <gcosmin> apache2: Syntax error on line 186 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 7 of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dir.conf: </IfModule> without matching <IfModule> section
[01:34] <gcosmin>                                                                                                          [fail] 
[01:34] <kazol> I wonder if Verizon will catch me if I run a server?
[01:34] <KevinOman> unikon, it works nice
[01:34] <alex_mayorga> anyone has seen my problem before?
[01:34] <sudobash> lol
[01:34] <sudobash> ubuntu servers are nice
[01:35] <stefg> iShock: i wouldn't count on the fact that any linux repartitioner can handle a new NTFS flavor that possibly comes with Vista.. get a decent imaging software and make a backup of Vista, and see that you can then restore to a smaller partition
[01:35] <KevinOman> kazol, I think verizon blocks port 80
[01:35] <kazol> sudobash: That's what I'm trying to do, but I need RAID to be configured.
[01:35] <gcosmin> after each command
[01:35] <gcosmin> he tell me: echo -ne "\033] 0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME}: ${PWD/$HOME/~}\007"
[01:35] <sudobash> 6.5 meg down
[01:36] <kazol> KevinOman: Let's say I run an FTP and web server (on 8080). Will they catch me by scanning common ports?
[01:36] <kazol> sudobash: I have 3Mbits\sec.
[01:36] <iShock> stefg: Around now, whats your best guess for fastest way to have Vista and Ubuntu both?
[01:36] <Pelo> gcosmin,  what is the issue ?
[01:36] <sudobash> down or up?
[01:36] <sudobash> 3 M Up?
[01:36] <stefg> iShock: buy a second drive, or buy some windows backup or imaging software
[01:37] <sudobash> thats insane
[01:37] <KevinOman> kazol, im not sure but I have been running a webserver on port 420 and they have never done anything :)
[01:37] <gcosmin> Pelo i have: echo -ne "\033] 0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME}: ${PWD/$HOME/~}\007" ..after each command
[01:37] <alex_mayorga> iShock, I used to have vista/feisty here
[01:37] <kazol> sudobash: 3Mbit\768Kbit. I wish I had 3Mbit up....My area doesn't have FiOS yet.
[01:37] <Pelo> gcosmin, which command ?

[01:38] <Foon> on my linux machine, the fan starts on boot, but when it gets to "loading up..." or whatever (the kernel kicking in) the fan suddenly stops, does anyone know why?
[01:38] <Pelo> gcosmin,  for the apache error,   open that file in gedit and see if there isnT' an extra comma or a typo in line 7
[01:39] <Foon> I just replaced the thermal paste thinking that might be it
[01:39] <Pelo> gcosmin,  for the command thing,  what kind of command ?
[01:39] <AngryPunk> Can someone help me please?  Ive gotten the latest version of Ubuntu installed on my laptop and everything seems to be chugging along great, except for the very annoying fact that it seems to be randomly pasting previously selected text all over the place

[01:43] <ubotu> Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.
[01:43] <spasticteapot> Does it show up on lsusb?
[01:43] <mhydronic> in order to uninstall gaim, it says ubuntu-desktop will be removed also. is this ok?
[01:43] <kazol> ianm: lol
[01:43] <Pelo> Foon,  do you feel comfident enought to do a little rewireing ?  pull the cpu fan plug out of the mobo,  use a free  dsk drive pllug put some wires between the two so that you feed  power directly into the cpu fan so it doen'T stop when you boot and proceed with booting to find a problem
[01:43] <darwin> I just tried Automatix and it seems really fishy. I was wondering what kind of problems it has caused for people?

[01:44] <spasticteapot> megafauna: Well, does it?
[01:45] <spasticteapot> It might be you need to download a driver, reconfigure something, et cetera.
[01:45] <sudobash> yeah like some servers will let you help out bandwidth wise in some things like bots and bot coding for an OP position... what were you thinking? you must not code...

[01:45] <megafauna> It doesn't work. There is a driver for the model series, but not for my exact model.

[01:45] <sudobash> yall are up tight
[01:46] <spasticteapot> That's the first thing to check.

[01:49] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[01:49] <georgy28> werx: can you boot you linux ?
[01:49] <Pelo> kazol, I was offering foon a possiblile fix so he can check the bios ,
[01:49] <delcoyote> werx did you try that? if grub doesnt work after that i will cut my hand off
[01:49] <ubotu> sudobash: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[01:49] <Foon> Pelo: I'll try the second fan plug I have before I resort to something first, thanks for reminding me it exists though :)
[01:50] <sudobash> lol
[01:50] <delcoyote> if it doesnt werx, and i lost my hand try after booting linux cd, and reinstall grub
[01:50] <Pelo> kasol  I'm not that knowledgable of mobo architecture,  I was just offereing a gerryrig
[01:50] <stefg> ianm: uhoh... feisty on 2.6.15 kernel is asking for trouble.... don't do it, if you ask me
[01:50] <sudobash> Hobbsee... finally a proper @
[01:50] <kazol> Does anyone here know how to install software RAID-1 after I've installed Ubuntu?
[01:50] <ianm> stefg: anything newer breaks my wireless
[01:50] <jscinoz_> What should the icon for desktop in an icon pack be named?
[01:51] <KevinOman> how can I tell if my web server has mysql?
[01:51] <stefg> ianm: so stick with dapper
[01:51] <Hobbsee> sudobash: finally?  i've always been..
[01:51] <ianm> stefg: a bit late for that...
[01:51] <Beforewisdom> Is it possible to install Ubunut on one partition and /home on another to protect your data, if so how will your apps mount and see /home?
[01:51] <m1r> hi all
[01:51] <sudobash> yeah they just all hide nowdays
[01:51] <Hobbsee> sudobash: for good reason.
[01:51] <werx> but i have reinstall the grub, but still it doesnt work, i have tryed to fix it with the win cd, but then i just messed up everything (causing me to format and reinstall windows)
[01:51] <Foon> nope it does that even with the other fan plug :(
[01:51] <ianm> stefg: but how can I get the kernel source for 2.6.15?
[01:51] <Foon> I'll try booting into the bios
[01:52] <Foon> brb
[01:52] <sudobash> yeah but what if it was the old days and there was a net split
[01:52] <werx> georgy28: nope i cant
[01:52] <stefg> ianm: kernel.org
[01:52] <georgy28> werx : wait a moment
[01:52] <ianm> stefg: but then it wouldn't have ubuntu patches..?
[01:52] <stefg> ianm: what a relief :-)
[01:53] <delcoyote> werx have you got a bootdisk? from winXP
[01:53] <georgy28> werx, : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351
[01:53] <non|linear> i'm sharing mozilla profiles with XP, does anyone know why i have to be superuser everytime i launch firefox or thunderbird?  it's getting quite annoying ;)
[01:53] <werx> The only thing i havent tried yet (because im afraid of loosing all of my files) is to write the grub mbr to the ata disc (the other ones is sata)
[01:53] <delcoyote> KevinOman, linux:~$ mysqladmin ping
[01:53] <delcoyote> mysqld is alive
[01:53] <delcoyote> linux:~$
[01:53] <non|linear> *actually, can anyone tell me what mask setting i need on the drive (currently 000)
[01:53] <werx> delcoyote: yes
[01:54] <delcoyote> bootdisk or cd?werx?
[01:54] <werx> georgy28: done that
[01:54] <werx> still doesnt work
[01:54] <werx> delcoyote: yes
[01:54] <werx> delcoyote: CD
[01:54] <ianm> stefg: so I can't use anything newer than 2.6.15, all my files are in a truecrypt file, there are no truecrypt modules that work with this kernel, so I have to compile it, and the sources aren't available
[01:54] <delcoyote> werx need a floppy
[01:54] <stefg> ianm: seriously.... don't. if you have to run 2.6.15 (for whatever reason) stick to dapper. restore a backup, reinstall dapper, whatever. there's libata and upstart in edgy/feisty and this will have consequences when running a to old kernel
[01:55] <delcoyote> bootdisk = floppy werx
[01:55] <Foon> Pelo: I'm in the bios now and the fan hasn't stopped yet :| that definitly means it's a linux related issue
[01:55] <Foon> :(
[01:55] <Foon> or at least, I figure
[01:55] <delcoyote> werx :http://www.bootdisk.com/
[01:55] <alex_mayorga> anyone with an Dell Inspiron 8200 experiencing slowness in Feisty?
[01:55] <ianm> stefg: it seems to work fine besides that I can't get a truecrypt module loaded.  I really don't have the option to go to dapper.  I have no install media, I have terribly slow internet access
[01:55] <Pelo> Foon,  you are using a seperate fan plug I beleiv you just said
[01:56] <werx> delcoyote: aha, but i do have the ultimate boot cd, the probs is that im unsure about the bootloaders in it
[01:56] <Foon> yeah, I tried the second one
[01:56] <Foon> it had the same effect as the first plug the first time I tried though
[01:56] <Pelo> Foon,  well that may just mean the first one is borked,  try booting linux and see what happnes
[01:56] <Foon> but when booting into bios (which I've just tested for the first time) it remains on
[01:57] <kazol> Does TrueCrypt pose a large bottleneck on HDs with software RAID-1?
[01:57] <Pelo> Foon,  do you have any power management apps running in ubuntu ?
[01:57] <viator> how can i tell if my wirelesscard and my touchpad are using the same resources?
[01:57] <stefg> ianm: so you have to use pinning, and get the dapper sources in your your sources.list to have access to the dapper kernel sources. this is such a mess, don't do it. if you really want trouble get the !pinning factoid from the bot
[01:57] <Foon> Pelo: none that I know of, I'm running a basic LAMP server with a few trimmings (SSH, samba)
[01:58] <delcoyote> werx did you boot with a bootdisk and typed n console fixmbr, or fixboot? and when you restarted didnt boot win?
[01:58] <Foon> I did open up my port 22 for a night through my firewall though so I could test out external SSH access at work the next day
[01:58] <Pelo> Foon, it might be a good idea to setup lm-sensors and fancontrol,  see if it helps by kicking in the fan when the cpu gets to hot
[01:58] <ianm> stefg: do I have any other option?  can I just download a tar.gz of the sources from 2.6.15 ?  I agree changing sources back is ugly
[01:59] <KevinOman> does anyone know anything about mysql?
[01:59] <werx> delcoyote: Win does boot, the prob is that i cant launch ubuntu
[01:59] <The_Belgain> hi there - a quick question: are there any PCI express 802.11n adapters which work well under Ubuntu (Feisty)?
[01:59] <werx> grub isnt loading
[01:59] <The_Belgain> at 'n' speeds that is?
[01:59] <Pelo> KevinOman,   try asking in #mysql
[01:59] <Foon> next morning my RAM usage was through the roof (more than usual, anyway), so I powered the system off until I could look into it
[01:59] <Foon> when I went to look into the problem, the fan wouldn't stay on when I booted into ubuntu
[01:59] <KevinOman> thanks pelo
[01:59] <delcoyote> winxp 1st HDD and ubuntu 2nd HDD werx?
[02:00] <Foon> lm-sensors? L or aye?
[02:00] <werx> win xp 2st hdd (according to the gparted list) and ubuntu 3st
[02:00] <Pelo> Foon,  ?
[02:00] <Foon> the l in lm sensors
[02:00] <stefg> ianm: yup, if you know how to build a kernel the debian/ubuntu-way there's nothing wrong with it... just make sure to use kpkg. BTW i never run the stock-kernel and alway use the kernel.org-sources with my own patch-set
[02:00] <ianm> Foon: L
[02:00] <Pelo> LM-sensors
[02:00] <viator> how can i tell if my wirelesscard and my touchpad are using the same resources?
[02:00] <Foon> is that an uppercase I or lowercase L?
[02:00] <Pelo> Foon,  http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty
[02:00] <Foon> oh ok
[02:01] <The_Belgain> or even USB 802.11n adaptors actually?
[02:01] <ianm> stefg: the debian way, no I've never had to do it.  the pure way yes, a long time ago
[02:01] <Foon> is there a chance my ubuntu box might have been hacked overnight though?
[02:01] <werx> delcoyote: win xp 2st hdd (according to the gparted list) and ubuntu 3st
[02:01] <delcoyote> werx looks like grub is in 2nd HDD boot and not 1st HDD
[02:01] <ramza3> is sun-java on fiesty now, because I still have gij
[02:01] <Pelo> Foon,  that links contains proceedure for setting up the sensors and the fancontrol
[02:01] <ianm> stefg: but I don't think I have to build the kernel, just have the source tree so I can compile truecrypt against it
[02:02] <delcoyote> werx what is the 1st HDD? or partition?
[02:02] <Foon> I left my port 22 open with ssh running (with the intention of testing it the next day), I did make sure the pam patch was installed though
[02:02] <Pelo> Foon, it is not impossible but I 'm just a home user I can't realy help you with that
[02:02] <delcoyote> is it a hidden partition or restore partition? werx?
[02:02] <Foon> oh
[02:02] <jl> hi everyone, i ve a problem with mplayer when i resize the window to 2x or fullscreen the video doesn't resize
[02:02] <jl> how can i solve this?
[02:02] <werx> but the 1st hdd is only a file hdd, no OS at all, so the bios should jump over that one (wich it does) and then load grub on disc 2
[02:03] <jai> hey guys
[02:03] <Foon> will that work under edgy?
[02:03] <jai> hello?
[02:03] <eifzon> :S
[02:03] <ianm> stefg: do you know how to download a tar.gz of the ubuntu 2.6.15 source?
[02:03] <jl> hi jai
[02:03] <Pelo> Foon,  yes,  same proceedures
[02:03] <werx> Normal? just a normal ntsf drive
[02:03] <jai> i cant boot in to windows after installing ubuntu fiesty
[02:04] <Foon> Pelo: you've done your best, no need to feel bad :)
[02:04] <jl> any ideas how can i make mplayer resize the video in a correct way?
[02:04] <jai> how do i set up grub? (linux n00b here)
[02:04] <Pelo> jai,  sit by the computer while you boot ,  when you get to the boot menu you'll get an option to boot windows
[02:04] <delcoyote> werx im not sure about that, i deleted my restore partition so i wouldnt have grub issues like that, not sure if there is a workaround that ,now
[02:04] <jai> it only shows ubuntu
[02:04] <Pelo> jai,  was the windows hdd plugged in when you installed ubuntu ?
[02:04] <werx> i will format my ubuntu drive now, and install the new ubuntu installation on the same drive
[02:04] <werx> see if it works
[02:05] <jai> yes it was but i made sure it wasnt formatted or touched
[02:05] <godtvisken> With what program could I record video with my webcam?
[02:05] <jai> i can still view the files from ubuntu
[02:05] <Pelo> jai,  ok you probably jsut need to add a menu entry for windows then ,
[02:05] <jai> oh ok
[02:05] <jai> how do i do that Pelo
[02:05] <viator> heres a more apt question how can i tell my touchpad to use different resources
[02:05] <Pelo> jai, I need a few info to get you going,
[02:06] <jai> ok how do i get the info u need? lol
[02:06] <Pelo> jai,  is the windows hdd the first hdd to boot in the bios boot order ?
[02:06] <Broccoly_> jl: what do you mean correct way?
[02:06] <stefg> ianm: http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/devel/linux-source-2.6.15
[02:06] <jai> errr not sure
[02:07] <Pelo> jai,  ok   in the terminal    sudo apt-get install gparted
[02:07] <Paddy_EIRE> is there any freenode channels that deal specifically with networking/router related issues
[02:07] <leafw> is there any way to see the processors load from the command line, separately for each processor like in the GUI app System Monitor ?
[02:07] <jl> Broccoly_: well... when i resize the window to 2x for example the video still i 1x size
[02:07] <rtyler> houston we have a problem >_<
[02:07] <leafw> and I don't mean 'top', which gives a combined load
[02:07] <jai> ok
[02:07] <Foon> Pelo: the bash script that page you sent me says to create, can I create it under windows and upload it once the system is booted up? (to minimize the amount of time it's running fanless)
[02:08] <rtyler> something is rendering my ubuntu config almost "fresh" on each reboot, so the motd is gone, and I have to completely reconfigure VMWare as well
[02:08] <Broccoly_> jl: how do you tun mplayer? from command line?
[02:08] <Broccoly_> *run

[02:08] <What> Is there any way to set an automatic logon?????
[02:08] <Pelo> jai,  now please go to  menu > system > admin > gnome partition editor
[02:08] <jl> Broccoly_: no from menu and i'm using x11 video output
[02:08] <Foon> Pelo: line breaks are different between windows and linux
[02:08] <Foon> figure it doesn't matter?
[02:09] <Broccoly_> jl: set -vo to something else, using x11 is the problem
[02:09] <Pelo> Foon,   you seem to know more about this then I do
[02:09] <jai> ok im in
[02:09] <janerik> Still need help on watching web tv.... Tryed for a wild and can't get it to work... Mplayer stoppes..... It's norwegian tv http://www1.nrk.no/nett-tv/klipp/112089
[02:09] <Foon> bits here and there, I'm a programmer-analyst
[02:09] <Foon> but I'm new to linux
[02:09] <Pelo> jai,  I need you to give me the /dev/sd**   identification of your windows partition
[02:09] <Broccoly_> jl: from commmand line mplayer -vo help
[02:09] <isabelabadone> hello, if i use a VirtualBox or VMware, can i do so in full screen?
[02:09] <jai> ok one second...let me find out
[02:09] <What> does any one know how to set an automatic logon in dapper??
[02:10] <rtyler> isabelabadone: yeah, VMWare lets you do that
[02:10] <Pelo> Foon,  I'm an industrial designer,   if you want a realy cool case I am your man
[02:10] <Foon> hahahaha
[02:10] <Foon> cool
[02:10] <Foon> and Yes Please!
[02:10] <Foon> ;D
[02:10] <Pelo> Foon,  but you'll need to buy at least 10 000
[02:10] <isabelabadone> rtyler: great
[02:10] <stefg> isabelabadone: yes, if you have enough RAm :-)
[02:10] <Foon> haha...damn
[02:10] <godtvisken> With what program could I record video with my webcam?
[02:10] <Broccoly_> jl: mplayer -vo xv my_movie.avi
[02:10] <Foon> sure you can't just toss one my way, that fell off the back of a truck? ;)
[02:10] <isabelabadone> stefg: i'm picking some up tomorrow!
[02:10] <rtyler> Pelo: how on earth will I sell 998 deathstar minipcs? :P
[02:11] <jl> Broccoly_: i put it to xv video output but the result is that the videos are some extrawide
[02:11] <rtyler> anybody know about ye olde configuration cleaning on restart? :(
[02:11] <ianm> stefg: thanks.  is this the file I need?  http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-source-2.6.15/linux-source-2.6.15_2.6.15.orig.tar.gz
[02:11] <jai> ok Pelo it is /dev/hda6
[02:11] <stefg> isabelabadone: but i'd recommend vmware over virtualbox...
[02:11] <stefg> ianm: looks like it
 why are you asking me
[02:11] <lasking> share files in vitrualbox often crash  who knows why?
[02:11] <jl> Broccoly_: maybe because i've a widescreen display?
[02:11] <Broccoly_> jl: but does it resize now?
[02:11] <mcrandello> Hi I have xmms installed and it is able to play mp3's locally but does nothing when I try to open a stream
[02:11] <viator> i think there is an irq problem or somthin
[02:11] <mcrandello> is there something else I need to get for that to work?
[02:11] <rtyler> isabelabadone: beware running say, two machines at once, that completely pegged the CPU on my full speced AMD64 dual core box
[02:11] <Pelo> jai,  are you quite sure ?  that's seems very odd for a windows partition ? it's useualy the first on the drive
[02:11] <What> does any one know how to set an automatic logon in dapper??
[02:11] <benkong2> hey all I need help with a dsl connection. Any takers?
[02:12] <rtyler> What?
[02:12] <isabelabadone> stefg: ok, but isn't vmware proprietary?
[02:12] <jai> yea 100% sure thats the one
[02:12] <Broccoly_> jl: you need to look through the mplayer config file, if your screen is 16:9 you have to specify it
[02:12] <rtyler> isabelabadone: yes, but the VMWare player is free
[02:12] <What> rtyler: to automatically log on to a username
[02:12] <rtyler> What: that's an option you set in either kdm or gdm
[02:12] <leninIdebian> virtual box is quiet good and stable
[02:12] <rtyler> I was making fun of you silly
[02:12] <Pelo> Foon,   the thing about industrial design is we learn that in order to keep the cost down, we need to spread the cost of tooling , so  ...  we tend to think in bulk,
[02:12] <viator> everyone who has a broadcom chipset touchpad seems to go nuts
[02:12] <What> rtyler: in gnome
[02:12] <viator> and NOTHING has been done about it
[02:12] <Pelo> jai,  ok
[02:12] <Foon> scratch that, I know what I'll do, use my editor to save in unicode format. heh
[02:12] <leninIdebian> i didnt found disatvantages compared to vmware
[02:12] <benkong2> I have dsl in my home and what they give you is on dsl modem and some filters for other outlets. The filters are supposed to allow one to connect to the internet
[02:13] <mcrandello> What: in kubuntu control center it's in the options for the "login manager", I think gnome has something very clos4e
[02:13] <jl> Broccoly_: the resize is ok now but with extrawide result
[02:13] <Foon> Pelo: ah
[02:13] <isabelabadone> rtyler: i'm trying to install windows to run dreamweaver CS3. do you think i can do so with 1GB RAM and 1Ghtz CPU?
[02:13] <Pelo> jai,   sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[02:13] <Foon> Pelo: do you design server cases or ATX?
[02:13] <rtyler> isabelabadone: sure you can, it'll be as fast as Windows can be regardless :P
[02:13] <benkong2> however it is a phone line to usb converter type of filter and is not recognized by ubuntu. What an I do?
[02:13] <viator> isabel i had it running in qemu
[02:13] <jai> done, Pelo
[02:13] <Pelo> Foon, actualy I designed specialised ladders
[02:13] <viator> with 512 mb
[02:13] <Pelo> jai,  let me catch up
[02:13] <viator> and it ran fine
[02:14] <Foon> if you design ATX, PLEASE make your future batches tool-less cases like EEBs
[02:14] <Broccoly_> jl: then you need to add -monitoraspect 16:9
 its different in plain ubuntu
[02:14] <isabelabadone> so having ubuntu running as well doesn't bog down your system?
[02:14] <Foon> er, specialized ladders? wha?
[02:14] <stefg> isabelabadone: yeah, it's only beer-free, not speech-free. but vmware is quite mature and has a strong community, while virtualbox is slower and still needs some way to go. from the ethical standpoint that would be virtualbox, right... but you're going to install win and PS anyway, so the ethics are busted anyway :-)
[02:14] <viator> vmware should be fine too
[02:14] <Foon> you mean the variety you go up..and down?
[02:14] <Foon> heheh
[02:14] <Foon> :)
[02:14] <Pelo> jai,  meet me in private for the next bit ,  so we donT' spam the channel
[02:14] <isabelabadone> stefg: great point i'm going to get vmware
[02:15] <jl> Broccoly_: where do i add or modify that? in the ~.mplayer folder?
[02:16] <isabelabadone> viator: you had cs3 running?
[02:16] <janerik> Does Ubuntu have something similar to windows like msn when you can ask a friend to help you with something, and they can log into youre mashine and fix proplems for you.... If thats so... Can someone please do that for me and help me with my web tv problems....
[02:16] <LeventO> hey all, how do i install a windows driver using ndiswrapper if i don't have the .inf file for the driver (just the windows executable)?
[02:16] <mcrandello> What: perhaps in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf
[02:16] <Broccoly_> jl: yeah in that folder, the config file which is read and values from it change defaults
[02:16] <gcosmin> mkdir: cannot create directory `public_html': Permission denied
[02:16] <viator> no i dont own that
[02:16] <Paddy_EIRE> anyone know if there is a "network" specific" irc channel???
[02:16] <leninIdebian> janerik: ssh
[02:16] <isabelabadone> viator: what did you have running? just windows?
[02:16] <viator> the only reason i needed it for is paltalk
[02:17] <viator> because i couldnt get it going in wine
[02:17] <leninIdebian> janerik: but thats a remote console
[02:17] <gcosmin> isabelabadone mkdir: cannot create directory `public_html': Permission denied ?
[02:17] <ianm> janerik: what problem are you having?
[02:17] <digin4> is there flash for 7.04 64bit?:)
[02:17] <rtyler> Paddy_EIRE: network specific for what
[02:17] <isabelabadone> does wireless networking work with vmware?
[02:17] <rtyler> digin4: nope :(
[02:17] <viator> theres no 64bit flash for linux
[02:17] <rtyler> isabelabadone: yes
[02:17] <mcrandello> okay if noone knows about xmms not streaming then can someone reccomend a media player that at least looks similar to it? something less clunky looking than rhythmbox
[02:17] <janerik> leninIdebian: ok.... anything thats can help me.. I'm new to linux and my big confusion now is that I cant't watch web tv:-)
[02:17] <gcosmin> Pablo are you there?
[02:17] <digin4> viator: what about java?
[02:17] <rtyler> isabelabadone: it depends on how you setup vmware
[02:18] <gordboy> mcrandello: audacious
[02:18] <rtyler> isabelabadone: you can have it piggy-back off of Ubuntu's network connection, or get it's own LAN ip address
[02:18] <ianm> janerik: do you mean like YouTube ?
[02:18] <janerik> ianm: I cant watch this link http://www1.nrk.no/nett-tv/klipp/112089 Mplayer stops:-(
[02:18] <jrib> digin4: no flash, but: http://www.janvitus.netsons.org/2007/01/15/nspluginwrapper-adobe-flash-player/
[02:18] <jl> Broccoly_: i did it but the mplayer doesn't start now
[02:18] <What> mcrandello: ty, that worked
[02:18] <janerik> ianm: no its streaming video
[02:18] <mcrandello> gordboy: thx apting now :)
[02:18] <isabelabadone> rtyler: great.
[02:19] <jrib> digin4: there' java, but no plugin.  You're stuff with blackdown if you want.  Otherwise you can setup a 32bit chroot...
[02:19] <gcosmin> I'm in /home/user and mkdir: cannot create directory `public_html': Permission denied
[02:19] <jrib> !restricted > digin4 (see the private message from ubotu)
[02:19] <Broccoly_> jl: the line making ur monitor 3:4 should already be in there, just change it, dont add a new one
[02:19] <mcrandello> What: Good, I saw someone else suggested that on the ubuntu forums but had no idea what you'd have to change once you were in there,
[02:19] <gcosmin> .. can some one tell me shy?
[02:19] <viator> my mouse wont let me right or left click now its locied up
[02:19] <viator> wtf
[02:19] <mcrandello> What: glad it worked :)
[02:19] <gordboy> mcrandello: you need to enable the mp3 wma etc plugins repos
[02:19] <digin4> thank you jrib
[02:19] <rtyler> gcosmin: because that user doesn't apparently have permissions to write to that folder
[02:20] <rtyler> pretty simple :)
[02:20] <Paddy_EIRE> rtyler, sry a general networking/router channel
[02:20] <mcrandello> gordboy: that should already be done I think, the audacious-plugins-extras package?
[02:20] <Paddy_EIRE> rtyler, so I can ask ppl questions live
[02:20] <gcosmin> raqamy and how to give him this right ?
[02:21] <viator> theres 64bit java plugin
[02:21] <ianm> Paddy_EIRE: there was one, but nobody with appropriate problems could get there
[02:21] <Paddy_EIRE> ianm, lol
[02:21] <rtyler> Paddy_EIRE: not that I know of, you can always go ask offtopic questions in #gnu, they're a cheerful bunch
[02:21] <stefg> ianm: lol... briliant catch ! :-)
[02:21] <jl> Broccoly_: i can't find something like that... i'm looking at file "gui.conf"
[02:21] <janerik> ianm: when I go to http://www1.nrk.no/nett-tv/klipp/112089 mplayer it buffering, connecting... And stops
[02:22] <Paddy_EIRE> rtyler, nice one, I never new there was a gnu channel
[02:22] <leninIdebian> janerik: same problem here
[02:22] <Paddy_EIRE> :D
[02:22] <rtyler> it's usually best to go in and ask when RMS will shave his beard and join microsoft
[02:22] <rtyler> always lights a fire under their GNU/Underpants
[02:22] <Broccoly_> jl: ~/.mplayer/config is the file it should go in
[02:23] <Paddy_EIRE> rtyler, very good lol
[02:23] <viator> gnunderpants
[02:23] <Paddy_EIRE> rtyler, poor richard
[02:23] <viator> lol
[02:23] <Paddy_EIRE> hey I have a beard
[02:23] <rtyler> viator: they really like it when you GNU/prepend everything with a GNU/GNU
[02:23] <Paddy_EIRE> lol
[02:23] <jl> Broccoly_: the only line in that file is this "# Write your default config options here!"
[02:23] <Paddy_EIRE> i will remember that

[02:25] <janerik> stefg: I think I have the win32 codec.. I can watch downloaded files... All of them

 TY

[02:27] <rtyler> nah
[02:27] <nomad111> i dont know what package to get to play h264 files

[02:27] <janerik> stefg: haha... But I understand norwegian... And I'm confused now...... Really want this to work.... I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but it will not work for me:-(
[02:27] <rtyler> mcrandello: every time I reboot, both my motd, some other config files, and the vmware configuration gets blown away
[02:27] <brush01uk> what, hope that worked & it works for me in auto login
[02:27] <rtyler> (all in /etc of course)
[02:27] <Broccoly_> jl: that will be $5 heh
[02:27] <mcrandello> rtyler: you could always try setting them to ro
[02:28] <jl> Broccoly_: douh!
[02:28] <Broccoly_> jl: insert cash into dvd drive
[02:28] <stefg> janerik: check mplayers output video-ouput is set to xv
[02:28] <godtvisken> How can I capture video from my webcam?

[02:29] <rtyler> mcrandello: good point, but I did want to find out wtf was going on :P
[02:29] <janerik> stefg: Ok... And how do I do that... Sorry for my newbie qest:-)

[02:29] <mcrandello> rtyler: chmod -w the specific ones
[02:29] <jl> Broccoly_: i really appreciate your help and your time thanks again!
[02:29] <vorbote> nomad111: or try either xine or mplayer
[02:29] <stefg> janerik: right click in the mplayer window and choose preferences... go to video-tab, select xv
[02:30] <leninIdebian> janerik: mplayer -vo x11 mms://straumV.nrk.no/nrk_tv_rogaland_247_mbr
[02:30] <Broccoly_> jl: then i'll know how to fix the 2nd issue too, heh, no prob
[02:30] <nomad111> vorbote: gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg is already installed for me
[02:31] <mcrandello> rtyler: keep in mind that you'll need to +w to make any changes afterward, and if you forget to -w again they'll be gone.
[02:31] <nomad111> vorbote: gxine and mplayer also crash
[02:31] <mcrandello> rtyler: more of a workaround than a fix
[02:31] <hammedhaaret> Hi..... how do i install Mplayer... i really wanna be able to stream divx
[02:31] <rtyler> mcrandello: agreed
[02:31] <vorbote> nomad111: Hmmm... It could be the video file has the wrong fourcc, but that shouldn't be a problem for either xine nor mplayer.

[02:36] <incorperated> what does foo mean
[02:36] <Holek_> jees, cannot you use unrar --help? ;)
[02:36] <mcrandello> foo is a variable

[02:37] <incorperated> and dont really understand
[02:37] <leninIdebian> Newbish: apt-get update ?
[02:37] <incorperated> alittle lost
[02:37] <leninIdebian> Newbish: here it works
[02:37] <Geek6000> cheers rukuartic :)
[02:38] <Newbish> leninIdebian: What works?
[02:38] <mcrandello> incorperated: can you find the file you downloaded in the file manager?
[02:38] <stefg> janerik: check in firefox' about:plugins that you have the mplayer plugin installed, if not sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer
[02:38] <Foon> I've just put in the sensors script, and tried pwmconfig, it seems my fan can't be controlled?!?
[02:38] <Foon> :(
[02:38] <incorperated> what do you mean file manager
[02:38] <leninIdebian> Newbish: i just installed xorg-dev
[02:38] <Foon> and if that's the case? wtf? why does it stop?
[02:38] <Pelo> Foon, is it still plugged in to the second port ?
[02:38] <Newbish> leninIdebian: I'm trying to install xorg-dev but it doesn't work.
[02:38] <Foon> aye
[02:38] <Newbish> leninIdebian: I got the full sources.list from Trevino
[02:38] <Pelo> Foon,  plug it into the first port
[02:39] <janerik> stefg: I have the mplayer plugin... The mplayer loads in firefox....Buffering..... Connecting... And... STOPPED
[02:39] <super-6-1> hello i have a wireless usb adapter, i cant find any in the main set up only in the desktop can you help?
[02:39] <Pelo> Foon,  since had to remove the fan to put it your new paste is it possible you damanged the wires ?
[02:39] <kairu0> i've set my X resolution to 1680x1050, but X creates a virtual resolution of 1680x1200. is this an aspect ratio problem? how can i fix this?
[02:39] <Foon> er, let me rephrase myself, I think it was plugged into the second fan port all along, I've switched it to port Fan 1 and have gotten the same result
[02:39] <Newbish> kairu0: Is your monitor widescreen?
[02:39] <stefg> janerik: proxy or bandwidth issues... or another plugin interferes
[02:39] <DBO> janerik, I had the exact same problem, never did figure it out.  The totem plugin however works fine
[02:39] <Paddy_EIRE> anyone know how I can set myself up with a static ip address so I can configure port forwarding from behind 2 routers
[02:40] <Foon> Pelo: I don't see how, no
[02:40] <Newbish> Paddy_EIRE: Are you on KDE or GNOME?
[02:40] <Kenth> is 7.10 server downloadable?
[02:40] <mcrandello> incorperated: I think nautilis is your file manager, I'm using kde so I'm not sure what the normal ubuntu uses
[02:40] <janerik> I've tryed the totem plugin... but it's just keep saying straming... And nothing to see
[02:40] <Paddy_EIRE> Newbish, gnome, but its not the network manager applet that needs configing yet
[02:40] <mcrandello> incorperated: can you find the icon for the file you downloaded?
[02:40] <godtvisken> How can I capture video from my webcam?
[02:40] <Pelo> Foon,  like nicked the cable that's the sensor so that your cmputer can't tell the cpu is getting hot so it turns off the fan maybe
[02:41] <incorperated> im using fvwm window manager
[02:41] <incorperated> wait oops
[02:41] <incorperated> yeah i have it
[02:41] <Pelo> Foon,  I'm basicaly only guessing here, it's called brainstorming
[02:41] <incorperated> it says
[02:41] <incorperated> hold on
[02:41] <kairu0> Newbish, yes, widescreen
[02:41] <Foon> Pelo: well, lm-sensors tells me Fan RPM = 0
[02:41] <Pelo> Foon,  and is the fan turning ?
[02:41] <Foon> I figure if lm-sensors knows that, the CPU must.. it should know that the fan being off is bad
[02:41] <incorperated> it says silent hill 4 the room.rar
[02:41] <Foon> nope
[02:41] <janerik> stefg: do you have an idea of what to look for that can be the problem??? What to do??? I'm a newbie... sorry:-)
[02:41] <Newbish> Paddy_EIRE: In the terminal type ifconfig x.x.x.x where x.x.x.x = your prospective IP address.
[02:41] <Foon> fan isn't turning
[02:42] <mcrandello> incorperated: okay if you double click on it then what?
[02:42] <ziggy23> Hi what is the command to get iptables to list what rules are in effect?
[02:42] <incorperated> ark opens up
[02:42] <Pelo> Foon,  and what does lm sensor say about the temperature ?
[02:42] <incorperated> and you can extract or do whatever
[02:42] <Pelo> Foon,  the cpu temp
[02:42] <incorperated> put i dont think that works
[02:42] <leninIdebian> ziggy: use firestarter its a nice frontend
[02:42] <Foon> last I checked, 33 degrees and had risen to 36 after about 2 minutes
[02:43] <Foon> C
[02:43] <Pelo> Foon,  well that isnt, so bad,  but still ,
[02:43] <Newbish> kairu0: X is probably setting your virtual resolution to adapt to your monitor.
[02:43] <mcrandello> incorperated: click on action, extract... and then let us know what happens
[02:43] <Foon> right
[02:43] <Foon> :|
[02:43] <Pelo> Foon,  is it very cold where you are ?
[02:43] <ziggy23> got firestarter, don't see any rules, want to see in command line
[02:43] <incorperated> ok
[02:43] <DanaG> My CPU idles at 40, and full load is 63-65 C. Anything not "OMGHOT!!!!" should be fine.
[02:43] <Foon> well, I'm definitly not sweating
[02:43] <Foon> heh
[02:43] <incorperated> i may take some time when i get it going ill let u know what happened
[02:43] <Foon> but it's not too cold
[02:43] <rimtech> i dunno... my E6300 overclocked from 1.8Ghz to 3.6Ghz runs at 25 degrees idle :)
[02:43] <mcrandello> incorperated: if you don't have unrar installed it should have already failed, making the most nerve-grating sound known to man
[02:43] <ZeroXR> Can anyone help me with a Xubuntu install problem?
[02:43] <Foon> not cold in general, really
[02:44] <stefg> janerik: given that we have the same software running, but it works for me, but not for you i'd look at the connection.... so i have ~12Mbit downstream here and I am not proxied...
[02:44] <Newbish> leninIdebian: How'd you install xorg-dev without broken dependencies?
[02:44] <incorperated> i have it installed
[02:44] <janerik> stefg: Or is it a way that one of you guys can log onto my computer if you have the time and check it... Do not know if there are something like that in linux
[02:44] <mcrandello> that glass-shattering sound in kde makes me grind teeth
[02:44] <incorperated> i dont know how to use it thats all
[02:44] <DanaG> By full load, I mean full speed while running 2 instances of F@H.
[02:44] <Pelo> Foon, I,m just asking because I'm running at 48C right now
[02:44] <incorperated> i dont really comprehend the man page
[02:44] <incorperated> im very new and slow
[02:44] <incorperated> lol
[02:44] <Foon> oh okay
[02:44] <DanaG> Glass shattering is even BETTER when you accidentally have your speakers set really loud.
[02:44] <incorperated> kinda need step by step by nobody is nice enough to help
[02:44] <janerik> stefg: I have 2 mbit connection... It works on my windows pc
[02:44] <super-6-1> hello i have a wireless usb adapter, i cant find any in the main set up only in the desktop can you help?
[02:44] <ZeroXR> Anyone?
[02:44] <Foon> I'd confirm with my XP box, but I can't remember how to get the CPU temp atm
[02:44] <Foon> heh
[02:44] <rimtech> at full load, meaning... prime95x2... i run 44 degrees on an e6300 overclocked to 3.6ghz...
[02:44] <Pelo> Foon, I'd give some serious consideration to the fan being damaged or the mother board
[02:45] <mcrandello> incorperated: well if you have unrar and ark the two of them should work together without having to do anything at the command line
[02:45] <Newbish> I have surround sound speakers so when I hear the glass shattering it sounds like something broke. ha.
[02:45] <Foon> :S
[02:45] <incorperated> i tried that before i doesnt really do anything
[02:45] <Newbish> First time I heard it I thought I broke a glass or something.
[02:45] <incorperated> cause the game is supposed to make it an iso file
[02:45] <mcrandello> that sound actually makes me wince, I've almost pulled muscles
[02:45] <incorperated> so i can burn it to a dvd
[02:45] <Pelo> Foon,  also try looking up the problem in the forum
[02:45] <Newbish> leninIdebian: How'd you install xorg-dev without broken dependencies?
[02:46] <leninIdebian> newbish: send me output of apt as pm
[02:46] <Newbish> Is there an apt irc channel?
[02:46] <Foon> link?
[02:46] <mcrandello> incorperated: when you click "extract..." if you select the desktop to extract it to then you should have the iso right there to work with
[02:46] <Newbish> leninIdebian: pm-ing on what?
[02:46] <Pelo> Foon,  www.ubuntuforums.com
[02:46] <Foon> I doubt someone else will have experienced the same problem though :| but..yea
[02:46] <Newbish> leninIdebian: I use irssi.
[02:46] <Newbish> leninIdebian: Do you mean pm-ing through the client?
[02:47] <incorperated> ok
[02:47] <eternaljoy> Newbish: hey
[02:47] <leninIdebian> jep
[02:47] <incorperated> ill try and let u know what happened
[02:47] <Pelo> Foon, worth a shot,  google might not be a bad idea either ,  bigger pool to draw from
[02:47] <Newbish> eternaljoy: sup
[02:47] <Foon> yea
[02:47] <eternaljoy> Newbish: your blood pressure :)
[02:47] <Newbish> ziggy23: How'd you do that emoting?
[02:47] <mcrandello> incorperated: then you double click on that and it should open up something to burn it with
[02:47] <Newbish> * says hi
[02:47] <eternaljoy> ziggy23: congratulations! :-)
[02:47] <incorperated> have you ever done this before
[02:47] <rimtech> Newbish... type /me action
[02:47] <Newbish> eternaljoy: lol
[02:47] <incorperated> with a game
[02:47] <eternaljoy> Pelo: behave ;)
[02:47] <incorperated> iso file
[02:48] <ziggy23> the only thing is the output is rather verbose
[02:48] <nibsa1242b> I can't log into my Feisty
[02:48] <eternaljoy> nibsa1242b: whats the error?
[02:48] <Foon> lol Newbish
[02:49] <ziggy23> re the emoting -- didn't do anything in particular -- happened automatigically in Chatzilla plugin
[02:49] <zcat[1] > moof
[02:49] <nibsa1242b> eternaljoy: I can't log into my Feisty, it kicks me out saying disk full. I booted into a 6.10 live cd, and my root partition (20GB) is in fact full. I have other space available.
[02:49] <mcrandello> incorperated: not really, I'm assuming that whatever you have there was gotten legitimately, since talking of copyright infringement is probably frowned upon around these parts
[02:49] <incorperated> i got it from bitorrent
[02:49] <eternaljoy> nibsa1242b: yeah, not enough room.
[02:49] <Newbish> How do I pm someone?
[02:50] <eternaljoy> Newbish: /query
[02:50] <Pelo> Newbish,  by asking permission first
[02:50] <eternaljoy> Pelo: good point :)
[02:50] <Newbish> eternaljoy: What do you mean? Like /query user message?
[02:50] <Tom47> nibsa1242b: happened t me the other day
[02:50] <eternaljoy> Newbish: /query nickname message
[02:50] <Foon> leninIdebian: smoking kills ><
[02:50] <Newbish> eternaljoy: Thanksya
[02:50] <mcrandello> incorperated: for the purposes of discussion you may not want to advertise such things on an open irc channel :)
[02:50] <eternaljoy> Newbish: /query nickname
[02:50] <nibsa1242b> eternaljoy:  I'm worried about what caused it, I can repartition and give it more space, but last I knew (~ week ago) I wasn't even using half of the 20GB root partition. I don't think I've installed that much on my system.
[02:51] <eternaljoy> Newbish: that opens up the wiondow
[02:51] <incorperated> lol sorry
[02:51] <incorperated> i wont
[02:51] <eternaljoy> Newbish: then you can type
[02:51] <eternaljoy> nibsa1242b: maybe.  I always use "df -h" to check that sort of thing
[02:51] <nibsa1242b> eternaljoy: Tom47: I normally try to keep everything in my /home .
[02:51] <eternaljoy> nibsa1242b: been doing any updates and upgrades?
[02:51] <Pelo> Foon,  are you in quebec ?
[02:52] <Pelo> lol
[02:52] <leninIdebian> newbish
[02:52] <leninIdebian> use pastebin: http://phpfi.com/
[02:52] <Foon> Oui :)
[02:52] <Foon> haha
[02:52] <Tom47> nibsa1242b: as a start you could log in using the safe mode and clear out the apt-get cache
[02:52] <Newbish> leninIdebin: I just pm-ed you the results.
[02:52] <nibsa1242b> eternaljoy: Tom47: I grabbed a few minor updates yesterday, but it dled in under 10min.
[02:52] <janerik> when I right click on mplayer and choose configure.... can it be something there thats wrong????should it be connect to rtsp media over tcp or some others checkboxes that are wrong???
[02:52] <Newbish> leninIdebian: Get on the pm a'ight?
[02:52] <mcrandello> incorperated done left?
[02:52] <leninIdebian> didnt get it
[02:52] <Wulfrunner> nibsa1242b: you can find out where the space is being used if you cd to / then type "sudo du -H --max-depth=1"
[02:52] <eternaljoy> nibsa1242b: thats brought your space to 0
[02:53] <mcrandello> well crap didn't mean to scare him away
[02:53] <nibsa1242b> Tom47: how do I log in in safe mode?
[02:53] <eternaljoy> Wulfrunner: where will he type that?
[02:53] <digital_funeral> hello all
[02:53] <mcrandello> just to keep the downloads on the downlow
[02:53] <Tom47> its one of the options in grub menu when you start up
[02:53] <eternaljoy> nibsa1242b: also, I sometimes type "apt-get clean"
[02:53] <Tom47> nibsa failsafe i think its called
[02:53] <eternaljoy> nibsa1242b: that can clear 100's of MB
[02:53] <Newbish> leninIdebian: http://phpfi.com/235445
[02:54] <eternaljoy> nibsa1242b: "sudo apt-get clean" rather
[02:54] <eternaljoy> nibsa1242b: and empty trash
[02:54] <nibsa1242b> eternaljoy: thanks
[02:54] <eternaljoy> nibsa1242b: cheers
[02:55] <digital_funeral> there are a few directories that i see when using the command "ls" but i can't go into, can't delete them, and can't chmod them, and when i try to do any of the above through the graphical interface, it gives me a permissions error
[02:55] <Newbish> leninIdebian: Got that?
[02:55] <nibsa1242b> eternaljoy: I go try and see if that helps...
[02:55] <Wulfrunner> nibsa1242b: "du" is a useful tool
[02:55] <eternaljoy> nibsa1242b: best wishes
[02:55] <eternaljoy> !du
[02:55] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about du - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:55] <mcrandello> digital_funeral: which directories?
[02:55] <leninIdebian> newbish: got it
[02:55] <digital_funeral> its a directory containing samba
[02:56] <Newbish> leninIdebian: What's the prob?
[02:56] <leninIdebian> newbish: give me a minute or so
[02:56] <Newbish> leninIdebian: Kay
[02:56] <mcrandello> digital_funeral: something like /usr/bin?
[02:56] <mcrandello> digital_funeral: if so that's by design
[02:56] <digital_funeral> i tried installing it, then realized that i didn't install make or gcc, so stopped and did that
[02:56] <janerik> sorry to bother you all... But I really need help with the web tv problem:-)
[02:56] <digital_funeral> mcrandello: no, /home/username/my documents/samba
[02:56] <artabrahao> how sintall vnc in ubuntu?
[02:57] <mcrandello> digital_funeral: can you remove it using sudo?
[02:57] <digital_funeral> no
[02:57] <digital_funeral> rm gives me a "no such file or directory" message
[02:57] <digital_funeral> capitalization is correct
[02:57] <leninIdebian> newbish: try to install  libxfont-dev libxft-dev and follow the dependency problem
[02:58] <Wulfrunner> artabrahao: have you searched for "vnc" in synaptic package manager?
[02:58] <mcrandello> digital_funeral: there's a "my documents" dir under your /home/username?
[02:58] <nibsa1242b> Wulfrunner: I used du, it says that I have 18GB in /var
[02:58] <Newbish> leninIdebian: Last dependency problem is...
[02:58] <eternaljoy> digital_funeral: what digital device died? :)
[02:58] <mcrandello> digital_funeral: thinking the space might be causing it
[02:58] <Newbish> leninIdebian: libfreetype6-dev: Depends: libfreetype6 (= 2.2.1-5ubuntu1) but 2.3.1-0mlind1~edgy1 is to be installed
[02:59] <nibsa1242b> Wulfrunner: or anyone else have any idea why my /var would have 18GB of data in it?
[02:59] <digital_funeral> mcrandello: how do i get around that? i have tried enclosing the entire thing in quotation marks, to no avail
[03:00] <eternaljoy> nibsa1242b: mine has 198MB :P
[03:00] <mcrandello> try cd /home/username/my  and then hitting the tab key instead of typing the space
[03:00] <leninIdebian> newbish: try to use the ubuntu version
[03:00] <digital_funeral> ok
[03:00] <digital_funeral> i sahll
[03:00] <mcrandello> it will probably look like my\ documents
[03:00] <Newbish> leninIdebian: What do you mean?
[03:00] <eternaljoy> nibsa1242b: whats in your /var/backup ?
[03:00] <leninIdebian> newbish: you can do it in synaptic quite easy
[03:00] <MarLaw> Is it easy to create a vpn from my laptop with ubuntu to my computer at home running on a static public internet ip address running ubuntu too ?
[03:01] <MarLaw> home LAN
[03:01] <nibsa1242b> eternaljoy: its my var/log that has 18GB
[03:01] <eternaljoy> nibsa1242b: hehe :)
[03:01] <Wulfrunner> haha
[03:01] <eternaljoy> nibsa1242b: how come?
[03:01] <leninIdebian> newbish: search for package and look in the package tab for force version (or something)
[03:01] <eternaljoy> nibsa1242b: my /var/log has 8MB
[03:02] <digital_funeral> mcrandello: is the proper command "cd" or "ls"
[03:02] <eternaljoy> Wulfrunner: can we delete evetything in the /var ?
[03:02] <janerik> still can't make the webtv show.... Anyone can help please:-)
[03:02] <Wulfrunner> eternaljoy: probably not
[03:02] <eternaljoy> Wulfrunner: whats safe to delete then?
[03:02] <Wulfrunner> eternaljoy: it's most likely one log file
[03:02] <digital_funeral> mcrandello: i know on a dos system it is cd, but i though all *nix systems used "ls"
[03:02] <mcrandello> digital_funeral: cd is "change directory"
 how Can I do that?
[03:02] <sdf> how can i make the computer shut dwon after certain time??
[03:02] <eternaljoy> nibsa1242b: is it 1 log file that 18Gig?
[03:02] <mcrandello> digital_funeral: ls is "list stuff"
[03:03] <RedGlow> sdf: I would use "at"
[03:03] <Wulfrunner> artabrahao: click on System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager
[03:03] <nibsa1242b> eternaljoy: I have a few mutil GB files in /var/log daemon.log, daemon.log0 debug debug.0 kern.log kern.log0 syslog and syslog.0 all the non .0 files are >2GB and all the .0 files are >4GB
[03:03] <sdf> redglow what do you mean?
[03:03] <sdf> redglow please help me
[03:03] <kazol> Has anyone here ever configured mdadm?
[03:03] <eternaljoy> nibsa1242b: ask someone if you can delete evetything in /var/logs
[03:04] <RedGlow> sdf: "at" is a program; the package has the same name
[03:04] <leninIdebian> xfce with beryl on kenthfield is too fast
[03:04] <Wulfrunner> nibsa1242b: I'm out of my depth but I think that even if you do delete them they will probably come back
[03:04] <eternaljoy> is it safe to delete everything in /var/logs  ?  anyone know pls?
[03:04] <SurfnKid> hell
[03:04] <SurfnKid> o
[03:04] <SurfnKid> can anyone tell me if they see my site? plz
[03:04] <sdf> hehe
[03:04] <SurfnKid> http://68.206.73.106/
[03:04] <sdf> redglow thanx
[03:04] <eternaljoy> SurfnKid: no
[03:04] <RedGlow> sdf: you're welcome
[03:04] <SurfnKid> testing apache
[03:05] <Newbish> leninidebian: What do you mean by 'force version'?
[03:05] <RedGlow> eternaljoy: well, the system won't suddenly stop, but it's a very bad idea anyway
 how Can I do that? what is the remote desktop located in the server?
[03:05] <nibsa1242b> eternaljoy: I think I have an idea of what caused it, I have an SD card that was behaving strangely and giving errors that I could see on the console at boot. My SO put the card in the computer's card reader and left it there for ~2 days straight, maybe it kept logging all those errors.
[03:05] <eternaljoy> nibsa1242b: ok
[03:06] <leninIdebian> newbish: i got a german version so i cant say you the english entry
[03:06] <SurfnKid> thanks for checking it out
[03:06] <Wulfrunner> artabrahao: how are you accessing the computer you wish to install the program on?
[03:06] <Newbish> leninIdebian: I searched for xorg-dev and found 4 packages.
[03:07] <nibsa1242b> RedGlow: I have about 18GB of log files that were created in the past 2 days due to what I believe is a malfunctioning SD card/ card reader issue. b/c of the files my /root is full and I'm considering using rm to get rid of the files
[03:07] <leninIdebian> newbish: resolve libxfont-dev
[03:07] <eternaljoy> nibsa1242b: whats "df -h" report as free?
[03:07] <Newbish> leninIdebian: libglu1-xorg-dev, xlibs-dev, xorg-dev, and xserver-xorg-dev
[03:07] <leninIdebian> newbish: resolve and libxft-dev
[03:07] <KillaB> Um... I don't know if I should be asking this here but could I get some help about installing Ubuntu?
[03:07] <Newbish> leninIdebian: What do you mean by resolve?
 via console, I'm in front the computer
[03:07] <nibsa1242b> eternaljoy: 0, says 100% use
[03:07] <digital_funeral> mcrandello: when hitting the tab key it does nothing but produce a beep
[03:08] <Wulfrunner> artabrahao: you can search for files in the console using the command "apt-cache search vnc"
[03:08] <sdf> redglow i foun the package installed but i don t know how can i use it?
[03:08] <nibsa1242b> eternaljoy: there is 5.39 MiB unused according to GParted
[03:08] <eternaljoy> nibsa1242b: yeah, so thats your problen
[03:08] <leninIdebian> newbish: the dependecy prob start with these packets
[03:08] <eternaljoy> nibsa1242b: ok
[03:08] <Newbish> leninIdebian: So how do I resolve it?
[03:08] <RedGlow> nibsa1242b: so, delete only the bigger and older files in /var/log, not everything. with "older" I mean files ending in .1, .2.gz, .3.gz, and the like.
[03:08] <mcrandello> digital_funeral:
 But I saw thee is a remote desktop, so I think I can access the server via remote desktop in my windows, is it possible?
[03:08] <mcrandello> carp
[03:08] <nibsa1242b> eternaljoy: its these stupid log files... you'd think that'd be a bug, logging so much you fill up the drive
[03:08] <frenchy> KillaB: whats your problem?
[03:09] <RedGlow> sdf: obviously, "man at" will tell you everything you need :-)
[03:09] <eternaljoy> nibsa1242b: yueah, first time I heard of it
[03:09] <kbrooks> !ask | KillaB
[03:09] <janerik> Trying for the last time!!! I really need help with playing webtv.... It's a footballgame I have to watch on the web tomorrow... So it would be to stupid to walk over to windows just for that:-) Hope someone can give me a hand.... Thanks:-)
[03:09] <ubotu> KillaB: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:09] <Wulfrunner> artabrahao: i do not know enough to answer your question, sorry!
[03:09] <user01> is there voice recognition software for ubuntu?
[03:09] <cafuego> nibsa1242b: This is why we make /var be a separate partition on production servers.
[03:09] <mcrandello> digital_funeral: type cd then press enter
[03:09] <nibsa1242b> eternaljoy well maybe once I fix this someone can help me report it as a bug... maybe I should read the log file to figure out what it says.
[03:09] <leninIdebian> newbish: search for them in synaptic and replace ds: libfreetype6  2.3.1-0mlind1~edgy1
[03:09] <KillaB> I was trying to install Ubuntu using the text-based installer CD but it wouldn't let me resize the disk partitions
[03:09] <Crell> Hi all.  I'm trying to install pecl for PHP on Feisty.  It should be in the standard install package I'd think, but locate pecl gives me nothing but some registry links and aptitude search pecl returns nothing.  Anyone know where it could be?
[03:09] <eternaljoy> cafuego: are you an ubuntu developer?
[03:10] <cafuego> user01: yes, apparently. My mobile phone runs it. I dunno what is it though or if it's open source.
[03:10] <digital_funeral> mcrandello that does nothing
[03:10] <mcrandello> digital_funeral: then ls then enter and look carefully
[03:10] <eternaljoy> nibsa1242b: yeah
[03:10] <mcrandello> *cd by itself puts you in your home directory
[03:10] <eternaljoy> nibsa1242b: yuour experience may benefit others in the future
[03:10] <tapio> What filesystem should I use for my 300GB satadisk? ext3?
[03:10] <user01> cafuego: ok ill look
[03:10] <digital_funeral> whoops
[03:10] <mcrandello> digital_funeral: alright now is it "my documents" or "Documents"?
[03:10] <digital_funeral> capitalization error
[03:10] <digital_funeral> My Documents
[03:10] <mcrandello> interesting
 thks.
[03:10] <nibsa1242b> cafuego: I never knew why /var was suggested to be a separate directory in the past. Now I know, and I'll set things up that way in the future, all I need to know now is if I can remove the offending log files.
[03:10] <mcrandello> anyway try "cd My" then tab
[03:11] <nibsa1242b> Anyone know if there is a how-to for submitting a bug?
[03:11] <Raptor45> for whatever reason with the human theme my progress bars don't show...works fine if I change the theme... any ideas?
[03:11] <digital_funeral> ok, i'm in the My Documents directory
[03:11] <Newbish> leninIdebian: I got it. How do I change 2.3.1-0mlind1~edgy to 2.2.1-5ubuntu1?
[03:11] <digital_funeral> how do i delete a folder?
[03:11] <digital_funeral> rm doesn't work
[03:11] <sdf> redglow please help i can t understand this i want  the computer shutdown after 2 hours how?
[03:11] <mcrandello> you say it was samba, you downloaded the source package for it?
[03:11] <digital_funeral> yes indeed
[03:11] <digital_funeral> then un-zipped it
[03:12] <mcrandello> alright then "rm sam" then tab, see if it gets the folder
[03:12] <digital_funeral> the comp is not connected to the internet, so i couldn't apt-get it
[03:12] <user01> oh sphinx i think .  .  .
[03:12] <cafuego> nibsa1242b: You can; but keep in mind that if a file is open, its contents won't actually be deleted until the app that's using the file has quit.
[03:12] <eternaljoy> nibsa1242b: tell cafuego about it, I believe he is a developer
[03:12] <digital_funeral> it has a dash in it
[03:12] <digital_funeral> it gets the folder name until the dash
[03:12] <Newbish> leninIdebian: I got it. How do I change 2.3.1-0mlind1~edgy to 2.2.1-5ubuntu1?
[03:12] <cafuego> nibsa1242b: You can tweak how long files are kept in /etc/logrotate.d/*
[03:13] <mcrandello> there's also the zip file that also has a dash there
[03:13] <digital_funeral> indeed there is
[03:13] <cafuego> nibsa1242b: So you can rturn logs over every night and only keep 'em for a week, for instance.
[03:13] <janerik> Ok.... Thanks anyway..... Installing Vista tonight:-(
[03:13] <Bef> I have Logitech Z5500 Digital speakers, and want to know what will give me the best sound. A DVD player with Optical Output or a DVD Player with 5.1 (6 Channel) Output. Will a DVD player with Optical Output, but not 5.1 Output give 5.1 surround sound from the speakers?
[03:13] <KillaB> When I try to resize the disk partitions it has an error and can't do it every time I try, does anyone know what the problem could be?
[03:13] <mcrandello> digital_funeral: type the next letter after the dash that's in the *folder* and hit tab again
[03:13] <eternaljoy> janerik: WHAT?
[03:13] <nibsa1242b> cafuego: I'm running from a live cd, so the files should be closed I believe. I'm thinking I might to look at the log to confirm my suspicion about why it is so long. Thanks for letting me know how to tweak them.
[03:13] <janerik> eternaljoy: football tomorrow on webtv:-)
[03:14] <eternaljoy> janerik: I have Vista and Ubuntu installed.  I only use Vista when I want to weatch TV on my laptop
[03:14] <sdf> RedGlow please?
[03:14] <eternaljoy> janerik: yeah! i cant get my TV working either on Ubuntu
[03:14] <mcrandello> digital_funeral: I'm assuming that since you installed make and gcc you're going to try rebuilding it?
[03:14] <leninIdebian> newbish: using synaptic force version
[03:14] <digital_funeral> yes, it says that it cannot remove it because it's a directory
[03:14] <digital_funeral> mcrandello:yes
[03:14] <mcrandello> ah, I'm dumb
[03:14] <mcrandello> "rm -r sam" then tab
[03:14] <mcrandello> the -r is for "recursive"
[03:14] <Newbish> leninIdebian: Is English your native language? No offense, but you don't seem to be talking in complete sentences.
[03:14] <digital_funeral> mcrandello: as previously demondtrated, i quite clearly is the less capable one
[03:15] <RedGlow> sdf: oh, well, ok... as root: "echo halt | at now + 2 hours"
[03:15] <dope> is there some sort of media server that'll work with the xbox 360 and runs on linux?
[03:15] <janerik> eternaljoy: its should be easy I gues... bbut I cant't get it working watching web tv on the site I want... mplayer just stops:-(
[03:15] <Newbish> leninIdebian: I just can't understand what you're trying to say.
[03:15] <RedGlow> sdf: and, anyway, don't insist. usually it's a good way to make people NOT to help you.
[03:15] <digital_funeral> mcrandello: it worked like a charm. you are a man among men. or something of the sort :D
[03:15] <Tom47> !de
[03:15] <leninIdebian> newbish: its three o clock in the night and dont want to go off before you got it

[03:16] <mcrandello> digital_funeral: glad it worked, remember the tab thing, it's very usefull :)
[03:16] <cafuego> dope: mythtv ought to be fine
[03:16] <sdf> RedGlow thank you very much
[03:16] <ryancr> how do remove the shadow from the panels? i assume its in gconf somewhere
[03:16] <cafuego> dope: I have a few laptops running myth sitting around the house, they tend to have tv out, very nice :-)
[03:16] <leninIdebian> newbish: so im quite tired
[03:16] <dope> cafuego: will i be able to stream to an xbox 360?
[03:17] <Newbish> leninIdebian: I understand. Sorry.
[03:17] <nibsa1242b> cafuego: I used less to look at the log file. Its as I though, tifm_sd: / tifm_7xx1: / and mmcblk0: messages, Gs of them at the rate of (too many to count estimating) ~100 per second.
[03:17] <Newbish> leninIdebian: So how would I downgrade a package?
[03:17] <cafuego> dope: Using the Xbox os? No idea. If the xbox runs Linux, it'll be fine. You run mythfrontend on it and mythbackend whereever...
[03:18] <AngryPunk> I have a very annoying problem, i have read the info at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad but there doesnt seem to say anything about it there (i was directed to that page from somebody here earlier)  My touchpad is causing text to be pasted everytime my hand wrests against it.  How do i turn this feature off?  Thanks!
[03:18] <digital_funeral> thank you mcrandello, you have indeed saved me hours of reading documentation, I shall be in debt for the next 0.2384 seconds
[03:18] <cafuego> Newbish: sudo apt-get install package=version_number
[03:18] <Cobain> i cant seem to get gnome's workspace switcher to work beryl anymore.. its actually changing between gnome's workspaces
[03:18] <eternaljoy> jansenq: not easy at all
[03:18] <dope> i guess i'm missing something
[03:18] <dope> I have a program on my windows machine that'll stream to the xbox with no probs
[03:18] <eternaljoy> jansenq: ahh you talking about TV websites?  IM talking about TV tuner cards
[03:18] <cafuego> dope: Oh, I dunno what sort of protocol MS use for that...
[03:18] <eternaljoy> jansenq: what TV wbesite you watch?
[03:19] <hammedhaaret> Hi..... if i need to move to files to a folder owned by root... how do i do that?
[03:19] <dope> unup or something like that
[03:19] <hammedhaaret> two files*
[03:19] <Tom47> hammedhaaret: use sudo cp
[03:19] <nibsa1242b> I need info about how to create a bug report. Is there a faq or something some where?
[03:20] <hammedhaaret> Tom47 cp.. ok thx
[03:20] <liquiddoom> I added a new network card after installing feisty server. ifconfig only shows the old one, but lshw shows the new one as "disabled". How do I enable it? Making a new interface and using its hardware address?
[03:20] <cafuego> nibsa1242b: Just go to launchpad.net and add a bug report to the approproate question
[03:20] <AngryPunk> I have a very annoying problem, i have read the info at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad but there doesnt seem to say anything about it there (i was directed to that page from somebody here earlier)  My touchpad is causing text to be pasted everytime my hand wrests against it.  How do i turn this feature off?  Thanks!
[03:20] <KillaB> Does anyone know of a reason why anyone would be unable to resize the disk partition they have Windows on? I have McAfee Security Center, could that be the problem? (although I don't think it's running when I boot from a disk)
[03:20] <mcrandello> nibsa1242b: I think you can just go to http://launchpad.net/ubuntu
[03:20] <leninIdebian>  newbish: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto#head-ec06ac55f7b20957887c4b9cfdea6efd07727415

[03:20] <nibsa1242b> mcrandello: thanks
[03:20] <Raptor45> does anyone know of any good programs for syncing files between two ubuntu systems? I've already got samba running fine, just want to keep my documents in order
[03:21] <Newbish> leninIdebian: I did it! You can go to sleep now.
[03:21] <mcrandello> cafuego had me beat
[03:21] <leninIdebian> oleole, night
[03:21] <cafuego> mcrandello: i'll go off and have a migraine, you continue ;-)
[03:21] <liquiddoom> Raptor45: rsync?
[03:21] <hammedhaaret> Tom47 : hmm sudo cp and what... if i just write the path it complains about it
[03:21] <eternaljoy> how do I convert .flv into mpeg pls?
[03:21] <liquiddoom> eternaljoy: flvs from youtube?
[03:21] <Newbish> THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO HELPED ME!!!
[03:22] <Newbish> SEEYA!
[03:22] <eternaljoy> liquiddoom: any .flv files!  why you ask?  Does youtube use different flv format?
[03:22] <hammedhaaret> Tom47 are you there?
[03:22] <Raptor45> liquiddoom, I'll take a look at that
[03:22] <liquiddoom> eternaljoy: I don't think so. I play them with vlc. You might be able to use mencoder to re-encode them
[03:23] <eternaljoy> liquiddoom: so u have no idea?
[03:23] <AngryPunk> Is there nobody able to help me right now?  My touchpad is causing text to be pasted every time my hand accidently comes into contact with it.  I have read the wiki about synaptics touch pads but coudlnt find any relevant info.
[03:23] <varka_> eternaljoy: 	ffmpeg -i xyz.flv-ab 56 -ar 22050 -b 500  -s 320x240 xyz.mpg
[03:23] <liquiddoom> eternaljoy: I haven't done it since flashplugin-nonfree worked again so no
[03:23] <eternaljoy> varka_: cheers!  ill try that now. brb
[03:24] <tannerld> is it better to install aiglx or xgl on a ati computer?
[03:24] <hammedhaaret> Right... ill ask again... how do I move 2 files to a folder owned by root?!? im a bit of a newbie so i need it explained
[03:24] <jrib> hammedhaaret: what exactly are you moving and where?
[03:24] <varka_> tannerld: xgl, as aiglx is not supported with the fglrx driver, only with the rather slow radeon driver
[03:24] <liquiddoom> hammedhaaret: The least confusing way (but be careful) would be to run "gksudo nautilus"
[03:25] <OldSalt> hammedhaaret: typical syntax is cp sourcefile destination. you can do cp --help for more info. if moving to root owned directory, do sudo cp...
[03:25] <KiloHertz> can someone help me with Dual monitors in ubuntu?
[03:25] <tannerld> varka_: what would be the best way to install xgl?
[03:26] <hammedhaaret> jrib: im moving 2 mplayer plugin files to /usr/lib/firefox/plugin
[03:26] <varka_> !anyone | KiloHertz
[03:26] <jrib> hammedhaaret: why?  mplayer plugin is packaged as mozilla-mplayer
[03:26] <ubotu> KiloHertz: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[03:26] <liquiddoom> hammedhaaret: sudo cp nameofplugin.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugin/
[03:26] <KiloHertz> Okay I can't get Dual Monitors working so I need someone to help me with them.
[03:27] <mr_daniel> do anybody one who this panel is called ? http://gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre1/45837-1.jpg
[03:27] <KillaB> Can someone please help? The Ubuntu Alternate Desktop install CD won't let me resize the disk partitions, and I have no idea why. It just gives some kind of generic error message that doesn't tell me anything.
[03:27] <mylo__> KiloHertz: i just got mine wokring using http://morgajel.com/xorg.conf to work off of
[03:27] <hammedhaaret> jrib: read in a forum thread that it will make divx streaming work
[03:27] <mr_daniel> it looks really cool and i want to try it out on my own machine
[03:27] <KiloHertz> mylo, I am using two seperate cards.
[03:28] <jrib> hammedhaaret: did you try using the package instead?

[03:29] <ryancr> how do remove the compiz shadow from the panels? i assume its in gconf somewhere
[03:29] <jrib> hammedhaaret: well you are basically bypassing the package manager when you don't need to, just install mozilla-mplayer
[03:29] <KiloHertz> use01: not that I know of.
[03:29] <KiloHertz> user01: not that I know of.
[03:29] <mylo__> http://pastebin.ca/497748
[03:29] <user01> KiloHertz: hmmm there is a debian package on website

[03:31] <mylo__> KiloHertz: http://pastebin.ca/497748 just in case you didn't see it before
[03:31] <hammedhaaret> jrib... ive done that... it wont play the darn things... dunno if its because divx have made some weird windows exclusive program
[03:31] <eternaljoy> varka_: it says: Unable for find a suitable output format for '56'
[03:31] <eternaljoy> varka_: any ideas?
[03:31] <jrib> hammedhaaret: link to the page that fails?

[03:32] <user01> and seems to work
[03:32] <eternaljoy> how do I convert .flv into mpeg pls?  anyone know?
[03:32] <ShadyTree> I think use ffmpeg
[03:33] <ShadyTree> vlc plays flv though
[03:33] <Kassah-Lappy> is there a way to get apt-get to spit out a list of packages and URLs to download from? I'm unfortunately unable to dial-up via linux... so I want to download all the files in Windows... then copy them to linux for install
[03:33] <jrib> !offline > Kassah-Lappy (see the private message from ubotu)
[03:33] <eternaljoy> ShadyTree: focus :)
[03:33] <eternaljoy> ShadyTree: not asking how to play it, asking how to convert it :)
[03:33] <yellow_chicken> totem plays flv too
[03:33] <ShadyTree> thats why I said ffmpeg
[03:34] <eternaljoy> yellow_chicken: off-topic
[03:34] <eternaljoy> ShadyTree: what command?
[03:34] <varka_> eternaljoy: ffmpeg -i "get.flv" -ab 56 -ar 22050 -b 500  -s 320x240 whatever.mpg
[03:34] <yellow_chicken> eternaljoy: <ShadyTree> vlc plays flv though

[03:35] <KiloHertz> mylo__: okay let me look at that
[03:35] <eternaljoy> varka_: its ok! Im using this and it works with good quality and it even makes it bigger wuithout loosing quality:  mencoder -oac lavc -ovc lavc -of mpeg -mpegopts format=dvd:tsaf   -vf scale=720:576,harddup -srate 48000 -af lavcresample=48000   -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg2video:vrc_buf_size=1835:vrc_maxrate=9800:vbitrate=5000:keyint=15:vstrict=0:acodec=ac3:abitrate=192:aspect=16/9 -ofps 25   -o movie.mpg video.flv

[03:35] <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)
[03:35] <mylo__> KiloHertz: i really have no idea wtf i'm doing, i just kind of messed with the file for a couple of hours until it worked
[03:36] <ShadyTree> if you dont want to lose quality, you just have to use one command
[03:36] <ShadyTree> origquality or something
[03:36] <ShadyTree> I forget the name
[03:36] <eternaljoy> varka_: the -ab swithc doesnt work!  but anyway, mencoder does a great job. ty anyway
[03:37] <mylo__> KiloHertz: i also had to use LeftOf instead of RightOf.  i don't know if that's because i'm stupid or typo'd something, but i couldn't use RightOf
[03:37] <mcrandello> eternaljoy: ah okay, as long as I have it in the clipboard there's also http://zamzar.com/ which converts between a whole buttload of formats
[03:37] <KiloHertz> okay let me try that be back mylo___
[03:37] <eternaljoy> mcrandello: its ok. thanks anyway.  I love this mencoder command im using.  It makes the file larger and yet keeps its quality :)
[03:37] <kermitus> kk I have a question. I have installed Ubuntu 7.04 on my laptop, no longer am I useing the live cd. And I want to add my external usb hard drive to install apps and use it as a backup drive... now normally when I was running the live cd I used the usb drive as a persistant storage device. However now that I have Ubuntu installed to my laptop I need to re lable the HDD, now what do I need to...
[03:37] <kermitus> ...name the usb device inorder to install apps and stuff to it?
[03:38] <mcrandello> always good to not have to rely on some website that will go away once the VC dries up
[03:38] <eternaljoy> mcrandello: write this down and try it:  mencoder -oac lavc -ovc lavc -of mpeg -mpegopts format=dvd:tsaf   -vf scale=720:576,harddup -srate 48000 -af lavcresample=48000   -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg2video:vrc_buf_size=1835:vrc_maxrate=9800:vbitrate=5000:keyint=15:vstrict=0:acodec=ac3:abitrate=192:aspect=16/9 -ofps 25   -o movie.mpg video.flv
[03:38] <Elm> Has anyone seen Samsung's HHD?

[03:46] <nato70> I just recompile my kernel... and its generated/created a vmlinux image... but grub can't load it (i am getting the message saying "invalid or unsupported executable format"... someone could help me ?
[03:46] <igmyzt> anyone know about panels?
[03:46] <tritium> LuisGMarine: 5.10 isn't supported any more
[03:46] <Broccoly_> does anyone know what causes web browsers in ubuntu to hog 100% of cpu on certain pages? it seem like it is related to certain image transparencies
[03:46] <eternaljoy> iShocker: not sure, sorry
[03:46] <LuisGMarine> tritium 5.1 sorround sound?
[03:46] <Pelo> Broccoly_,  do you have a page we can test ?
[03:46] <LuisGMarine> wtf since when?
[03:47] <tritium> Broccoly_: I that you meant ubuntu's 5.10 release
[03:47] <iShocker> eternaljoy: I boot into it, I get some weird shit...An A: prompt
[03:47] <eternaljoy> iShocker: you need to start it

[03:47] <hagabaka> /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh seems "shady"
[03:47] <eternaljoy> iShocker: i think from memory you need to type "startx"
[03:47] <kayde> hi, ho do i enter root in terminal?
[03:47] <LuisGMarine> no I have Ubuntu Feisty AMD64, and I just want to get 5.1 sound working

[03:48] <Elm> What are the chances of getting linux on an altair 88...nevermind
[03:48] <igmyzt> can someone answer me?

[03:48] <nato70> I just recompile my kernel... and its generated/created a vmlinux image... but grub can't load it (i am getting the message saying "invalid or unsupported executable format"... someone could help me ?
[03:48] <Pelo> Broccoly_,  as a general statement of fact I would agree,  but since I dont, ahve a myspace accont I can'T realy test
[03:48] <eternaljoy> iShocker: read the insuructions on that page it boots to.
[03:48] <tritium> Broccoly_: might it be flash, rather than the browser?
[03:48] <iShocker> No, wait....
[03:48] <iShocker> IDK, I try it
[03:48] <igmyzt> someone answer me?
[03:49] <dedi> mcrandello: hm, it isnt paketto or the problem has to do with "/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/bin/../lib/libc.so when searching for -lc"
[03:49] <Broccoly_> tritium: nope, i dont even have flash heh, its the same in opera and firefox, it must be some rendering subsystem
[03:49] <eternaljoy> iShocker: gfrom memory, im rather sure its "startx"

[03:59] <EnsignRedshirt> kayde: Actually, for gedit, you would use gksudo in front of the command.
[03:59] <dexomsrc> guhhh: So in vsftpd.conf have the line 'user sub token $USER' exactly and another line 'guest username /ftp/$USER' exactly assuming I want all the virt user home dirs to be in /ftp/?
[03:59] <con-man> Pelo it was a mistake
[03:59] <Eleaf> hmm...
[03:59] <Pelo> Eleaf, you might want to check the pulseaudio website to see if it is a known issue , and see if they have a channel to help you solve the problme
[03:59] <n2diy_> Pelo:  Sorry I forgot the syntax to call the bot.

[04:00] <pak9rabid> I have a quick question for anyone whose willing
[04:00] <ethereality> sure!
[04:00] <brylie> don't ask to ask
[04:00] <bloodytux> ok to install a c compiler i type sudo apt-get ???
[04:00] <Pelo> Eleaf,  google,  ubuntuforums,  faq pages etc , resources are available
[04:00] <bloodytux> what next
[04:00] <guhhh> dexomsrc: yes... dont forget the _ (underline) user_sub_token and guest_username :)
[04:00] <Eleaf> Pelo, no, there's nothing ;)
[04:00] <Broccoly_> here is for example a page which loads the CPU at 100%, it is some sort of rending problem in Ubuntu, http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=111826999
[04:00] <SamWise_TheGreat> im getting really worried now. xorg is using over 10 times more memory than any other program running. its using 122.0mb! im running ubuntu feisty with my fglrx driver. does anybody know what's wrong with it?
[04:00] <Eleaf> not with pulseaudio, of course not Pelo
[04:00] <pak9rabid> ok here goes....does anyone know how to force a USB 2.0 device to use the usb 1.1 driver instead?
[04:00] <Pelo> bloodytux,  sudo apt-get install build-essential
[04:01] <pak9rabid> like, maybe a simple value echo'd to a file in /proc or /sys?
[04:01] <Elm> Lol I think I can hear the disk of this probably 8 year old harddrive hitting together
[04:01] <bloodytux> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[04:01] <bloodytux> ???
[04:01] <brylie> pak9rabid, you might also check out synaptic 'sudo synaptic'
[04:01] <Pelo> Eleaf,  also search for info on  polypaudio
[04:01] <Eleaf> Pelo, I don't use that
[04:01] <Broccoly_> Pelo: does that page load up cpu for you?
[04:02] <Eleaf> oh that's old
[04:02] <Pelo> Eleaf, it was the old name of pulseaudio,  there might be smoe info in there
[04:02] <brylie> bloodytux, open up a shell and enter that text with 'sudo' in front of it
[04:02] <Eleaf> Pelo, this isn't a big problem, it's nowhere.
[04:02] <digital_funeral> hi, how do i unzip a .tar.gz file?
[04:02] <pak9rabid> tar zxvf <file>.tar.gz
[04:03] <Pelo> Broccoly_,  I got a cpu spike on loading it ,  and now I have a cpu spike probably becaue of the java and the sounds
[04:03] <GigaClon> digital_funeral, right click and choose extract here
[04:03] <digital_funeral> pak9rabid: what do the zxvf stand for?
[04:03] <EdsipeR> how can I install 7.04 desktop-version in text-mode ?
[04:03] <godtvisken> How can I capture video from my webcam?
[04:03] <zhaoym> how do i know what fonts can i use for urxvt/rxvt?
[04:03] <digital_funeral> GigaClon: using terminal
[04:03] <Pelo> Broccoly_,  and I still think  myspace is a waste of tme
[04:03] <EdsipeR> I would like to avoid to load the X Server
[04:03] <brylie> zip eXtract Verbose File
[04:03] <pak9rabid> z = decompress using gzip, x = extract, v = verbose, f = force
[04:03] <digital_funeral> brylie: ty
[04:04] <EnsignRedshirt> pak9rabid: no, f=file
[04:04] <bts3685> hey, anyone feel like making a quick and dirty wallpaper that says  "I'd rather be using linux." ? : ) i'm gonna put it on my work's computers (they're all winxp boxes). preferrably with tux kicking gate$' ass. :P
[04:04] <pak9rabid> er
[04:04] <pak9rabid> yea
[04:04] <pak9rabid> file
[04:04] <pak9rabid> my bad
[04:04] <tritium> digital_funeral: you might consider using the gui tools instead
[04:04] <Broccoly_> Pelo: well its just an example of a page being slow, many others too, its not java and sound, its an image problem
[04:04] <Talaman72> how do iuse tcl?
[04:04] <EdsipeR> how can I install 7.04 desktop-version in text-mode ?
[04:04] <bloodytux> :(
[04:04] <Pelo> godtvisken,  try looking for a solution in the forums,   but you probably need to use camarama or something
[04:04] <tritium> EdsipeR: with the alternate CD
[04:04] <Pelo> Broccoly_,  it wasn't slow , it just ate my cpu
[04:04] <bloodytux> i try installing gentoo on some random box i had and it aborted install yet still installed grub and screwed up my MBR
[04:04] <bloodytux> so mad!
[04:04] <pak9rabid> so, any way to force a usb 2.0 device into usb 1.1 mode?
[04:04] <digital_funeral> tritium: no thanks, I'd much rather learn this way.
[04:05] <brylie> F usually means Force
[04:05] <Pelo> EdsipeR,  get the alternate install cd
[04:05] <Pelo> !alternate > EdsipeR  check for a private msg from ubotu
[04:05] <Broccoly_> Pelo: well it just make my dual core 3.0 crawl until the page is closed
[04:05] <tritium> digital_funeral: good for you, then.
[04:05] <Pelo> Broccoly_,  I didnt, have any thing like that ,  just a cpu spike
[04:05] <bts3685> bloodytux: did it install grub or grub2?
[04:06] <bloodytux> idk
[04:06] <bloodytux> ...
[04:06] <brylie> pak9rabid, Synaptic is good to use
[04:06] <dexomsrc> guhhh: Do you use PAM for authenticating virtual users?
[04:06] <pak9rabid> synaptic for what
[04:06] <pak9rabid> thats a package manager
[04:06] <bloodytux> i don't care. i was goingto throw that box out anyways...
[04:06] <Broccoly_> Pelo: it happens on all my systems, even fedora, its a linux issue really, just thought someone knew exctly what it was
[04:06] <brylie> apt frontend
[04:06] <z07> how can i get video with ekiga by running isight-camera on macbook/feisty?
[04:06] <pak9rabid> yea
[04:06] <bloodytux> ok so now i get this while compiling: checking for gail >= 1.1.0... Package gail was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gail.pc' to the PKG_CON
[04:06] <Pelo> Broccoly_,  try looking it up in the forum
[04:06] <pak9rabid> hows that supposed to help w/a device switching to usb 1.1 mode though?
[04:06] <bts3685> bloodytux: get the version number. if it's <1, grub. if it's >1, grub2
[04:06] <n2diy_> Does Ubuntu have a Banner screen saver? Where you can enter custom text, and that is displayed when the screen saver kicks in?
[04:07] <bloodytux> bts3685: eh. screw it
[04:07] <bts3685> n2diy_: it's in the xscreensavers package IIRC
[04:07] <bts3685> not sure of name of it
[04:07] <brylie> there might be a usb related library you could use synaptic search or 'apt-cache search'
[04:07] <n2diy_> bts3685: Is it called Banner?
[04:07] <Pelo> bloodytux,  that means you need to instal a missing dependency,   open up synatpic and search for it there,  then run  ./configure again until the next dependency is listed and install that ,  and repeat
[04:07] <pak9rabid> ah ok
[04:07] <pak9rabid> i gotcha
[04:07] <harry> is HDCP hardware-based? I want to connect a gfx card that says it is hdcp capable to the DVI/HDMI port on my tv and am wondering if Linux will be able to do that.
[04:07] <pak9rabid> i'll give it a looksee
[04:07] <pak9rabid> thanks
[04:07] <bloodytux> ughhh
[04:08] <brylie> np
[04:08] <Pelo> bloodytux,  it's not that bad
[04:08] <EnsignRedshirt> bloodytux: That's typical when you try to build a program from source. It can take a few iterations to find and install all the dependencies.
[04:08] <brylie> ubotu usb
[04:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about usb - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:08] <pak9rabid> yea

[04:08] <tritium> brylie: please play with ubotu in a private query so as not to spam the channel
[04:09] <bloodytux> gnome-applets
[04:09] <dexomsrc> guhhh: vsftpd doesn't like "user sub token $USER" in the vsftpd.conf
[04:09] <LaNCeloT_RW> hi ppl, anyone knows a program like Net Stumbler for Linux?
[04:09] <EnsignRedshirt> bloodytux: If you know the right tricks, you can usually find them pretty quickly.  I typically use either Synaptic or packages.ubuntu.com to search for the appropriate pacakges.  For example, search for "gail" finds libgail-dev
[04:09] <Pelo> bloodytux,look for it in synaptic first,  it might already be there
[04:09] <dexomsrc> Am I suppose to replace $USER with the virtual username?
[04:09] <bts3685> LaNCeloT_RW: nessus?
[04:09] <ShadyTree> gdesklets
[04:09] <dexomsrc> guhhh: Is the method you told me different from using PAM?
[04:09] <bloodytux> yea it says its installed at version 1.8
[04:09] <bloodytux> it needs only 1.1...
[04:09] <LaNCeloT_RW> bts3685, hum, let me test if nessus does what I need
[04:09] <tritium> EnsignRedshirt, bloodytux: don't forget about "apt-cache search <search term>"
[04:10] <bts3685> LaNCeloT_RW: lol, it has thousands of plugins. you'll find SOMETHING i bet :)
[04:10] <LaNCeloT_RW> bts3685, 'cause i'm doing an omni antenna, and I need to test the noise and other stuff of wireless signal
[04:10] <Pelo> bloodytux,  often when you compile from source you need to intall the -dev package of the dependency as well
[04:10] <pimuri> I know this isn't ubuntu specific, but...   how to start sshd at runlevel 2 without a "keyfile"? or how can I generate one? (I'm using damn small linux live cd)
[04:10] <EnsignRedshirt> tritium: Right (but it's because I *do* forget that I find Synaptic easier--it has a nice big "Search" button :)
[04:10] <guhhh> dexomsrc: did u typed "user_sub_token=$USER" exactly was i said?
[04:10] <bloodytux> :(
[04:10] <bts3685> LaNCeloT_RW: ooooh! kismet might be a better choice then
[04:10] <rsaldanar> hola
[04:10] <LaNCeloT_RW> bts3685, okey! thanks
[04:10] <dexomsrc> =!

[04:11] <compilerwriter> ping
[04:12] <C_R_B> hi does ubuntu use firefox or iceweasel?
[04:12] <guhhh> dexomsrc: without the "_" (underlines)?
[04:12] <Pelo> bloodytux,  a quick trick , always look for a deb package before going for the source code
[04:12] <tritium> C_R_B: firefox
[04:12] <compilerwriter> firefox C_R_B
[04:12] <C_R_B> tritium:  even in the newest one?
[04:12] <dexomsrc> guhhh: Does this method still use PAM?  I generated a .db file at /etc/vsftpd_login.db
[04:12] <cowbud> is there any advantage to running 64bit other than memory addresses?
[04:12] <dexomsrc> guhhh: No double quotes, but no underlines either.
[04:12] <tritium> C_R_B: yep
[04:12] <compilerwriter> yes in the newest one c_r_b
[04:12] <guhhh> dexomsrc: yes, as far as i know, yes it does...
[04:12] <Pelo> cowbud, there are disadvantages to running  64 bit , no flash for one , and no java I think
[04:13] <guhhh> dexomsrc: you couldnt start the vsftpd service because of a command line error?
[04:13] <compilerwriter> !iceweasel
[04:13] <ubotu> Iceweasel's homepage is http://www.gnu.org/software/gnuzilla/ with more detailed information at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceweasel
[04:13] <dexomsrc> guhhh: Okay so I need those two lines in my main .conf, the .db file I generated from a text file with alternating lines of username and password (using db_load), and a file in /etc/pam.d/ too.
[04:13] <guhhh> dexomsrc: you need the underlines...
[04:14] <KiloHertz> mylo___: thank you so much I looked at your config file again and I GOT IT WORKING yaya I HAVE DUAL Monitors :)
[04:14] <killown> hi
[04:14] <KiloHertz> mylo__: thank you so much I looked at your config file again and I GOT IT WORKING yaya I HAVE DUAL Monitors :)
[04:14] <killown> how I do to define gateway for ppp0 interface?
[04:14] <Pelo> congrats KiloHertz  now stop yelling
[04:15] <cowbud> pelo: and as far as performance?
[04:15] <KiloHertz> sorry just excited :)
[04:15] <iShock> OK, listen, when I try to boot GParted, I get a thing saying "Starting PC-DOS..." and then an A:\ prompt. Why? Help please. Should I have written the ISO file to the CD, or a DVD?
[04:15] <Pelo> cowbud,  the general agreement seems to be that unless you have a specific reason to use 64 bit (like dev ) you are better off with x86
[04:16] <BlackRayne> Why would Ubuntu HARD reboot after I choose my keyboard layout?
[04:16] <BlackRayne> On the installer
[04:16] <killown> please
[04:17] <iShock> OK, listen, when I try to boot GParted, I get a thing saying "Starting PC-DOS..." and then an A:\ prompt. Why? Help please. Should I have written the ISO file to the CD, or a DVD?
[04:17] <dexomsrc> guhhh: Okay now it says that the FTP server is "anonymous only" when I try to connect.
[04:17] <purpzey> I am looking to add something to my autoload modules, what dir should I be echo-ing to?....The instructions I am reading say /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6...I have no such directory.
[04:17] <dexomsrc> guhhh: I mentioned that I don't want vsftpd to even look at system usernames so I have local_enable=NO in my .conf.
[04:18] <cowbud> Pelo: I figured as much, is the main advantage to 64bit is that memory addresses?
[04:18] <Pelo> dexomsrc,  it's an option you need to set in your ftp client
[04:18] <dexomsrc> Does local_enable=NO disable virtual user logins as well?
[04:18] <tritium> purpzey: /etc/modules file is where you want to list it
[04:18] <cafuego> purpzey: just put the module name in ?etc/modules
[04:18] <iShock> OK, listen, when I try to boot GParted, I get a thing saying "Starting PC-DOS..." and then an A:\ prompt. Why? Help please. Should I have written the ISO file to the CD, or a DVD?
[04:18] <Pelo> cowbud,  I couldn'T realy say,  I was just relaying stuff I've seen ppl say in this channel
[04:18] <shayan> Hey guys, does anyone know how to use THUNAR as the Default file manager in GNOME?
[04:18] <cowbud> pelo ahh thanks for the info
[04:18] <guhhh> dexomsrc: did u type: anonymous_enable=NO or just commented out the line?
[04:18] <KevinOman> how do I set a password on a mysql database
[04:18] <dfgas> has anyone installed unreal tournament on 7.04? i am having issues
[04:18] <dexomsrc> guhhh: I want anonymous logins enabled.
[04:18] <cafuego> KevinOman: 'mysqladmin password'
[04:19] <dexomsrc> So I have anonymous_enable=YES
[04:19] <cafuego> KevinOman: You set the password on a specific user with access rights to only that DB.
[04:19] <cafuego> KevinOman: As mysql root user, 'grant all on database.* to user@hostname identified by 'password'; flush privileges;
[04:20] <mylo__> KiloHertz: glad that i could help
[04:20] <iShock> Anyone, please.....
[04:20] <iShock> OK, listen, when I try to boot GParted, I get a thing saying "Starting PC-DOS..." and then an A:\ prompt. Why? Help please. Should I have written the ISO file to the CD, or a DVD?
[04:20] <dexomsrc> guhhh: I want anonymous logins and virtual users enabled.
[04:20] <dexomsrc> But not system users
[04:21] <BlackRayne> Why would Ubuntu HARD reboot after I choose my keyboard layout?
[04:21] <CodeBlueCBH> hi how do i make my chan auto op me
[04:22] <dexomsrc> guhhh: I also have the line 'anon_root=/ftp/anon/' in my .conf alonside 'guest_username=/ftp/$USER'  they have underlines too
[04:22] <iShock> CodeBlueCBH: Try #tapthru
[04:23] <guhhh> dexomsrc: hmmmm...
[04:23] <guhhh> dexomsrc: did u tried the vsftpd.conf manpage?
[04:23] <dexomsrc> Yup
[04:24] <KiloHertz> Question does anyone know what other default driver besides VESA, and NV. That would work with a NVIDIA TNT2 RIVA 64. ?
[04:24] <Kristen> Does anyone know if it is possible to install Ubuntu from files on the local HDD?
[04:24] <iShock> OK, listen, when I try to boot GParted, I get a thing saying "Starting PC-DOS..." and then an A:\ prompt. Why? Help please. Should I have written the ISO file to the CD, or a DVD?
[04:24] <iShock> !gparted
[04:24] <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
[04:25] <KiloHertz> !repeat | iShock
[04:25] <ubotu> iShock: 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
[04:25] <iShock> KiloHertz, are you an operator in here?
[04:25] <cafuego> KiloHertz: none. the old proprietary might work, but it's not default.
[04:25] <KiloHertz> !operator | iShock
[04:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about operator - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:25] <gryph76> iShock: are you using the GParted live cd? or some other method?
[04:25] <iShock> GParted Live CD
[04:26] <KiloHertz> cafuego. See I have dual monitors and I have one on the NVIDIA driver and the other I need a driver for it but the nvidia driver is to new to work with that card. So I need a driver that will work with that but still allow me to get 1280x1024 besides vesa and nv.
[04:27] <cafuego> KiloHertz: nvidia-legacy
[04:27] <gryph76> and you burned it to CD then booted from the CD into the live fluxbox system? or didn't the cd boot?
[04:27] <KiloHertz> cafuego, problem if I was to install the nvidia-legacy wouldn't that get rid of my current nvidia driver?
[04:27] <iShock> IDK if the CD booted or not
[04:27] <cafuego> KiloHertz: yup
[04:27] <brylie> !edubuntu
[04:27] <iShock> I know it's not booting Windows.
[04:27] <ubotu> Edubuntu is an Ubuntu derivative aimed at schools and educational institutions. For more info, see http://www.edubuntu.org
[04:27] <KiloHertz> See I need both drivers.
[04:27] <random-baby> i need to free up some space from my ubuntu partition. what prog should i use?
[04:28] <cafuego> KiloHertz: the joys of propietary software eh
[04:28] <iShock> gryph76: Should the ISO be burned onto a CD-RW disk or a DVD?
[04:28] <brylie> fdisk
[04:28] <iShock> random-baby: If it works for you *Lol* GParted
[04:28] <KiloHertz> lol yep cafuego, that is why I am trying to find another driver that will work with it. Either default or something.
[04:28] <m1r_> how to remove splash screen ?
[04:28] <random-baby> ok, thanks
[04:29] <iShock> !gparted | random-baby
[04:29] <ubotu> random-baby: 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
[04:29] <Foon> gryph76: if it's a CD image, a CD, if it's a DVD image, a DVD
[04:29] <cafuego> KiloHertz: nvidia, nv, vesa. Those are your choices. Other drivers would require other hardware.
[04:29] <iShock> Foon
[04:29] <brylie> random-baby, do you have Ubuntu installed?
[04:29] <KiloHertz> okay, cafuego thx for your help.
[04:29] <Foon> ?
[04:29] <gryph76> iShock: if you got the iso from here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=115843&package_id=173828 you should be able to burn it to a regular CD
[04:29] <iShock> (22:27:55) (random-baby) i need to free up some space from my ubuntu partition. what prog should i use?
[04:29] <KiloHertz> Okay that ubuntu splash at the beginning when you boot up. Does anyone know how to get that to go to text mode?
[04:29] <dexomsrc> guhhh: Which reminds me... do I have to do anything else to PAM to make it work with vsftpd besides generate the .db file and put a text file in /etc/pam.d/ with the following contents:
[04:30] <dexomsrc> auth required /lib/security/pam_userdb.so db=/etc/vsftpd_login
[04:30] <dexomsrc> account required /lib/security/pam_userdb.so db=/etc/vsftpd_login
[04:30] <cafuego> KiloHertz: Yah. Remove 'splash' from the boot args in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[04:30] <brylie> iShock, perhaps he wants to create an Ubuntu partition
[04:30] <KiloHertz> okay thx again :)
[04:30] <brylie> he/she
[04:30] <noiesmo> m1r, you can edit /boot/grub/menu.1st and remove quiet splash from kernel line to have no splash
[04:30] <iShock> brylie: from my ubuntu partition
[04:30] <cafuego> KiloHertz: if you want kernel log spammager, also remove 'quiet'
[04:30] <Foon> iShock: oh, I just saw. heh
[04:30] <jughead> I need help with my computer.  I run Kubuntu 7.04 (Ubuntu then I installed kubuntu-desktop), and the system hangs when I try to shut down or restart.  The kubuntu splash appears and it shows the progress bar, but after that I get a blank screen except for a blinking cursor in the upper left.
[04:30] <iShock> gryph76, my CD is an HP cd that
[04:31] <KiloHertz> okay  :)
[04:31] <dexomsrc> guhhh: the VIRTUAL_USERS readme for vsftpd mentions a pam_service_name needing to correspond with the filename in /etc/pam.d/  like the service name is blah so the file needs to be /etc/pam.d/blah
[04:31] <dexomsrc> But how do I configure the pam_service_name?
[04:31] <iShock> gryph76, my CD is an HP cd thats doing odd things....It's a weird CD
[04:31] <iShock> !iso > iShock
[04:31] <iShock> That wasn't much
[04:31] <iShock> Anywho...
[04:32] <brylie> can Ubotu send messages to other chanels?
[04:32] <iShock> I do not think so
[04:32] <guhhh> dexomsrc: is guest_enable=YES ?
[04:32] <cafuego> brylie: No, that would leave it wide open to spam abuse

[04:32] <Plutoprime> hi, is there someway to restore GRUB on a software RAID setup "After" installing windows???  I know how to do it on a non raid linux setup but with linux partitions marked as raid it seems like i can't mount them
[04:33] <iShock> !grub | Plutoprime
[04:33] <ubotu> Plutoprime: 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
[04:33] <brylie> !ubotu > SurfinKid
[04:33] <Plutoprime> that guide wont help....
[04:33] <brylie> !ubotu > SurfnKid
[04:33] <iShock> Why not?
[04:33] <SurfnKid> wth
[04:33] <SurfnKid> oh lol
[04:34] <Plutoprime> because it doesn't explain restoring grub if linux is installed in software raid
[04:34] <dexomsrc> guhhh: LISTEN=YES and guest_username wasn't in my .conf so I added it and set it to yes.... now I connect and get this error:
[04:34] <cafuego> Plutoprime: Boot the installer, assemble the raid array manually, mount it, chroot, install grub.
[04:34] <dexomsrc> esponse:	500 OOPS: vsftpd: cannot locate user specified in 'guest_username':/ftp/$USER
[04:34] <cafuego> dexomsrc: Just use guest_username=ftp
[04:34] <iShock> Wait....*gins*...WTF?
[04:34] <cafuego> dexomsrc: it wants a *username* not a directory
[04:34] <Plutoprime> cafuego: you mean run the text install?? what do you exactly mean by "assemble"
[04:35] <cafuego> Plutoprime: assemble = 'mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1' etc...
[04:35] <Plutoprime> I have 4 sata drives, sda-sdd
[04:35] <Plutoprime> sda is windows
[04:35] <guhhh> dexomsrc: do you want that each user has its own folder? like user "abcd" /home/virtual/abcd ?
[04:35] <Plutoprime> sdb-c are linux
[04:35] <dexomsrc> guhhh: Yes
[04:35] <cafuego> Plutoprime: and they contain raid autostart partitions right?
[04:35] <Plutoprime> boot is set as raid 1
[04:35] <Plutoprime> 100 MB
[04:36] <Plutoprime> and then the rest of the drives is raid 5
[04:36] <iShock> What the...
[04:36] <cafuego> Plutoprime: Ok, so you can manually assemble md0 and md1 using mdadm.
[04:36] <Plutoprime> raid 1 boot partition between sdb1, sdc1, sdd1
[04:36] <Plutoprime> ok
[04:36] <cafuego> Plutoprime: once that's done, simply mount, chroot, run grub.
[04:37] <Plutoprime> thanks
[04:37] <iShock> SONOFABITCH I WILL NOT delete this partition, create a new one, then install windows, then install grub again...
[04:37] <Plutoprime> let me give it a shot
[04:37] <cafuego> !ohmy | iShock
[04:37] <ubotu> iShock: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[04:37] <iShock> Excuse my above outburst please.
[04:37] <guhhh> dexomsrc: try it -> guest_username=$USER and user_sub_token=/home/virtual/$USER
[04:37] <iShock> This is very irritatiing that GParted is FAILING TO WORK,
[04:38] <gryph76> iShock: get the latest version of GParted from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=115843&package_id=173828

[04:38] <cafuego> iShock: Just run it off an ubuntu licvecd
[04:38] <dexomsrc> guhhh: "Response:	500 OOPS: vsftpd: cannot locate user specified in 'guest_username':$USER"
[04:38] <MacLinuxMaster> I having problems with serial ports...
[04:38] <iShock> cafuego: I tried. I need to resize an NTFS, and it's not working
[04:38] <cafuego> iShock: Make sure all partitions are UNmounted (including swap)
[04:39] <iShock> cafuego, how?
[04:39] <gryph76> iShock: burn it to a cd then boot from that cd  - it should be able to resize ntfs partitions
[04:39] <regjava> Is there any way to install ubuntu from a iso file?
[04:39] <atarax> hi, i can't figure out how to change my build architecture...
[04:39] <cafuego> iShock: If they shows up as volumes on the desktop, right click 'em and unmount 'em.
[04:39] <iShock> gryph76: I've been saying all dang night...The cs isn't booting right.
[04:39] <MacLinuxMaster> How can I debug it to find the problem ? My serial ports are very slow after I update to linux 2.6.12 and up
[04:39] <iShock> cafuego, I shut down computer, insert disk, try and boot it...Shouldn't they be unmounted?
[04:40] <regjava> does it take a while to begin instzllation in ubuntu?
[04:40] <iShock> Errrr
[04:40] <gryph76> iShock: sorry, I thought you said it was a HP cd, not a gparted cd
[04:40] <atarax> i'm trying to convert a rpm with alien, and it says "current build architecture powerpc does not appear in package's list (ppc64)", but i'm using ppc64.
[04:40] <MacLinuxMaster> 2.6.10 is all ok
[04:40] <iShock> gryph76L I burned GParted onto a HP cd
[04:40] <n2diy_> MacLinuxMaster: check out setserial and minicom
[04:41] <cafuego> iShock: On the gparted cd? maybe, I've not used it... no idea.
[04:41] <MacLinuxMaster> n2diy_: How ?
[04:41] <moloto1> when are my scripts in cron.daily run? what time of day?
[04:41] <gryph76> iShock: my bad, sorry... try re-burning gparted onto some other cd? :o)
[04:41] <cafuego> moloto1: 6:26 am
[04:41] <iShock> Oh, crap. I make no sense to myself some times.
[04:41] <LaNCeloT_RW> hi dudes, im trying to configure kismet, any knows what should i set on source line?
[04:41] <MacLinuxMaster> n2diy_: setserial don't show much output
[04:41] <guhhh> dexomsrc: well, it seems that you have to specify an user... like "virtual" or something
[04:41] <LaNCeloT_RW> source=wlan0  ????
[04:41] <moloto1> thanks cauego
[04:41] <n2diy_> MacLinuxMaster: open a terminal, and use them as commands.
[04:41] <iShock> gryph76: I tried erasing my old gparted cd that it won't read, but it says it's not RW
[04:41] <guhhh> dexomsrc: maybe it will help you http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/openbsd/2005-12/0755.html
[04:41] <regjava> Is there any way so that i can install ubuntu from windows?
[04:42] <purpzey> I'm try to ./configure a package and it is returning "gtk-config script installed by GTK could not be found" Can someone tell me how i might fix this?
[04:42] <purpzey> regjava: You can run the livecd.
[04:42] <PhantasyHawk> Can someone tell me real quick what an unsafe temperature (In Celsius) for a laptop CPU is?
[04:42] <MacLinuxMaster> n2diy_: ok, I have a ssh line with antother box over this serial port
[04:42] <moloto1> cafuego: what log file would i check to ensure they ran correctly? (or would i have to work that into the script itself?)
[04:42] <cafuego> purpzey: grab the appropriate -dev package.
[04:42] <Newbish> Can someone help me with an SDL problem? I run my program and it says "SDL_Init Failed: No available video device
[04:42] <atarax> PhantasyHawk: the temperature at which it turns itself off
[04:42] <cafuego> moloto1: if they didn't run correctly, root will have received an email.
[04:42] <MacLinuxMaster> n2diy_: But I simply don't find the culpirit
[04:42] <theatrus> regjava: run them side by side requires something like vmware, ubuntu is a full operating system
[04:43] <cafuego> moloto1: (which probably got forarded to the first user added to the system)
[04:43] <MacLinuxMaster> n2diy_: For the slowlyness
[04:43] <regjava> the
[04:43] <theatrus> PhantasyHawk: probably something like 60-70c
[04:43] <purpzey> cafuego: I'm moderately new to all this I have almost no idea what that means....I am just trying to get the brightness controls going on my laptop...And need XOSD, so I can the install fsfn
[04:43] <regjava> theatrus: what abt installing from an iso?
[04:43] <moloto1> cafuego: thanks
[04:43] <PhantasyHawk> atarax, theatrus:  Thanks, Ive just been reading about 5 degrees warmer since I dual booted and ive been worried about melting.  I appreciate the help
[04:43] <cafuego> purpzey: the panel brightness applet doesn't work?
[04:43] <n2diy_> MacLinuxMaster: can you check the comm port settings with minicom?
[04:43] <mylo__> regjava:  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/install.exe/Prototype
[04:43] <theatrus> regjava: burn it to a cd, reboot, tell computer to boot from cd :)
[04:43] <iShock> cafuego: I insert the UBUNTU LIVECD, shut down my computer totally, then boot off the Live cd for UBUNTU. Shouldn't they be unmounted?
[04:43] <purpzey> cafuego: Where is this applet?
[04:43] <iShock> BRB, trying something
[04:43] <regjava> My Installation from CD is tgaking a while to start, so it looks like the CD is corupted
[04:43] <cafuego> Newbish: Just hit 'CAPS LOCK' again and the problem is solved.
[04:44] <theatrus> PhantasyHawk: wouldn't worry too much about it, all modern CPUs throttle when they get too hot
[04:44] <Pelo> Newbish,  what is the problem you think you are having ?
[04:44] <MacLinuxMaster> n2diy_: I will try, thanks
[04:44] <cafuego> purpzey: Right click the panel, choose "Add to panel.."
[04:44] <Newbish> I run my C++/SDL program and it says "SDL_Init Failed: No available video device
[04:44] <Newbish> Pelo: I run my C++/SDL program and it says "SDL_Init Failed: No available video device
[04:44] <cafuego> purpzey: There's an lcd brightness thing in there.

[04:45] <Pelo> Newbish,  check what ever conf files that prog use and check what video device it is looking for,  then figure out what video device you are using and make the appropriate edit
[04:45] <gryph76> iShock: I'd guess its either a dead cd, or a faulty gparted iso. both just happen sometimes. I'd say get a new cd and re-download the iso then try again - or try getting that Ubuntu Live cd working. Sorry I can't be much help beyond that.
[04:45] <purpzey> cafuego: That applet doesn't do anything....I mean, the slider works, but beyond that
[04:45] <cafuego> purpzey: hmm
[04:46] <MacLinuxMaster> Bye, I will return back in 2 minutes...
[04:46] <purpzey> cafuego: I found a thread on the forums that deal with this issue....Specifically for this make, I just can't seem to get the packages installed and configured
[04:46] <guhhh> dexomsrc: you will need to enable the local users, i guess
[04:46] <cafuego> purpzey: you'll need libgtk2.somethingorother-dev I imagine.
[04:47] <dexomsrc> guhhh: Erg... so it's not possible with vsftpd to allow ONLY virtual users and anonymous logins?
[04:47] <purpzey> cafuego: sudo apt get libgtk2. ? Or how can I find out what package I need/
[04:47] <guhhh> dexomsrc: try enabling local and then make them banned :)
[04:48] <cafuego> purpzey: 'apt-cache search gtk2' or search in synaptic.
[04:48] <guhhh> dexomsrc: it seems so :(

[04:49] <rolnyzx> does anybody here have problems with flash and firefox?
[04:49] <n2diy_> rolnyzx: yes!!!
[04:49] <rolnyzx> i don't know why, but my firefox crashes a lot when I load flash stuff
[04:49] <Plutoprime> cafuego! I got both raid1 and raid 5 partitions to mount
[04:49] <purpzey> cafuego: libgtk2.0-dev sound about right?
[04:49] <Plutoprime> now what did you mean by chroot and grub? are those in the guide?
[04:49] <Plutoprime> i guess i'll rtfa
[04:49] <cafuego> purpzey: does indeed
[04:49] <Plutoprime> rtfm*
[04:50] <rolnyzx> also, flash overlaps javascript
[04:50] <rolnyzx> does anybody know a solution for that?
[04:50] <purpzey> cafuego: so sudo apt-get libgtk2.0-dev ...Then beyond that do I need to compile it or anything?
[04:50] <jHale> 'ello...
[04:50] <cafuego> purpzey: No, that will fix the ./configure problem you posted earlier.
[04:50] <MacLinuxMaster> n2diy_: Hi, I'm apt-getting minicom
[04:51] <purpzey> cafuego
[04:51] <n2diy_> rolnyzx: The last time I tried installing the plug ins for Dapper, I wiped out my hard drive. I had to do a bare metal recovery, which I wasn't backed up for.
[04:51] <purpzey> cafuego: great thankd
[04:51] <purpzey> s
[04:51] <cafuego> purpzey: For any other ./configure issues, rinse & repeat ;-)
[04:51] <jHale> anyone have any experience getting vpnc working with firestarter?
[04:51] <n2diy_> MacLinuxMaster: Cool, that is a better tool then setserial, IIRC.
[04:51] <jHale> Or a better firewall than firestarter?
[04:51] <iShock> cafuego: How can I tell if my partitions are UNmounted?
[04:53] <FurryNemesis> splat?
[04:53] <Pelo> jHale,   firestarter is not a firewall, it's just a gui frontend for iptables, which is just the userspace for netfilter, the actual firewall
[04:53] <Plutoprime> cafuego: the guide is not very clear... i see 4 different methods
[04:53] <johnficca1> how do you open multiple programs in a shell script?
[04:53] <jHale> I'm aware of that... Just hoping to find some easy method to configure iptables that takes vpnc into consideration...
[04:53] <Plutoprime> do I do a grub-install to the windows drive mbr?
[04:53] <Pelo> johnficca1,  just list them one per line
[04:53] <rolnyzx> $program1 &
[04:54] <Plutoprime> or to the /boot raid1 array?
[04:54] <rolnyzx> that opens a program in the background johnficca1
[04:54] <iShock> How can I tell if my partitions are UNMOUNTED?
[04:54] <johnficca1> thanks
[04:54] <Pelo> jHale,   do a search in synaptic for iptables, it should bring up all the frontends available
[04:54] <andruk> whats the command to add a user to the sudoers group?
[04:54] <Pelo> iShock,  easy you can'T access them
[04:54] <purpzey> cafuego: I think I am just being stupid somehow...I am running "sudo apt-get libgtk2.0-dev" and being returned "Invalid Operation libgtk2.0-dev"
[04:54] <iShock> Pelo
[04:55] <iShock> I got a Windows partition, I'm on Live CD...I wanna make sure it's unmouted....How?
[04:55] <jHale> Yah... Good call... I've been there and installed fwbuilder... But that's a little steep at the moment...
[04:55] <Pelo> purpzey,  you  sudo apt-get install ....
[04:55] <jHale> I'll check some others out...
[04:55] <andruk> purpzey: try" sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev"
[04:55] <purpzey> pelo: thanks...knew I was missing something.
[04:55] <rolnyzx> if your program is open already <ctrl>+z stops the program. Then you can do a $bg to put it to background of $fg to bring it back to foreground johnficca1
[04:55] <Pelo> iShock,  open the gnome partition manager   click the partition and unmount
[04:55] <MacLinuxMaster> n2diy: ok now I'm in kernel 2.6.10, so my ports are ok, I will reboot and do some tests with minicom and ssh, see you later
[04:55] <andruk> anybody know the command to add a user to the sudoers group?
[04:56] <iShock> It's in Gray
[04:56] <Pelo> andruk,  man users
[04:56] <n2diy> MacLinuxMaster: GL
[04:56] <Pelo> iShock,   if there is an icon on the desktop,  rightclick , unmount
[04:57] <iShock> The following operation could not be applied to disk:
[04:57] <iShock> Resize /dev/sda1 from 55.89 GiB to 24.59 GiB
[04:57] <Pelo> try sudo unmount /dev/sda1
[04:58] <andruk> Pelo: that didn't help me much...just told me about users.  i know about users, i just cant remember the command to add users to the sudoers group
[04:58] <iShock> sudo: unmount: command not found
[04:58] <Pelo> andruk, usualy at the bottom of a manpage you have a list of related manpages
[04:58] <n2diy> iShock: the command is umount.
[04:59] <Pelo> andruk,  if you are using gnome ,   system > admin > users
[04:59] <iShock> umount: /dev/sda1: not mounted
[04:59] <cafuego> andruk: 'sudo adduser <user> admin'
[04:59] <Pelo> iShock,  so it is not mounted,   the problem maybe that you are rezising to too small a size,  make it a bit bigger
[04:59] <iShock> check filesystem on /dev/sda1 for errors and (if possible) fix them
[04:59] <andruk> cafuego: thanks.  Pelo: im setting up a server, thats why i wanted the command
[05:00] <DanaG> My system seems really unresponsive sometimes.
[05:00] <iShock> How much do I need abouts for Ubuntu?
[05:00] <Pelo> iShock,  boot windows , and scandisk and also defrag a few times
[05:00] <DanaG> For example, I'll try to run gnome-terminal, and it'll sit around doing nothing before finally opening 1 minute later.
[05:00] <cafuego> iShock: Maybe I should suggest you use google and seartch for a torrent called hirams ultimate boot cd, which may contain utilities that might be of use to you.
[05:00] <DanaG> The same is true with login and Nautilus.
[05:00] <Pelo> iShock,   about  5 gig for / (mine is 2.8)  2 gig for swap , and what ever youwant for /home
[05:01] <iShock> scandisk and defrag *Barfs* andwho, Pelo: Could it be the NTFS from Vista thats the problem?
[05:01] <Pelo> iShock,  that could very well be it, vista doesn't play well with others
[05:01] <DanaG> Or if Beryl crashes and I select to reload it, it sits around doing nothing for 30 seconds or so, and then reloads TWICE because I got impatient and selected "reload" again.
[05:01] <iShock> DAMN
[05:01] <iShock> Ignore that :O
[05:02] <iShock> Anywho, oh, why wouldn't my XP install work :(
[05:02] <Pelo> iShock,  if there isa partition manager in vista  resize from there
[05:02] <DanaG> Vista does have a realtime resizer -- even for the system volume.
[05:02] <DanaG> Right-click "my computer" and select Manage.
[05:02] <iShock> Pelo: It says you can't resize the one you're using...
[05:02] <cafuego> iShock: Maybe I should suggest you use google and seartch for a torrent called hirams ultimate boot cd, which may contain utilities that might be of use to you.
[05:03] <Pelo> iShock, I wouldn't know , I've only seen pictures of vista
[05:03] <iShock> cafuego: I can't torrent, my internet dies.
[05:03] <DanaG> There are direct downloads, too.
[05:03] <cafuego> well piffle
[05:03] <iShock> DanaG: Would I be able to resize it while I'm using it?
[05:03] <DanaG> http://www.ultimatebootcd.com
[05:03] <nibsa1242b_> how do I see my trash?
[05:03] <FurryNemesis> open the wastebasket
[05:03] <DanaG> Vista may let you resize NTFS on the fly; I remember seeing that ffeature.  I haven't booted Vista in about a week.
[05:03] <cafuego> nibsa1242b_: click the trash icon
[05:04] <Pelo> nibsa1242b,  bottom taskbar, to the fight
[05:04] <Pelo> right
[05:04] <nibsa1242b_> cafuego: if I had one, I'd do that. I don't.
[05:04] <iShock> cafuego: How would that be of use to me?
[05:04] <Pelo> nibsa1242b,  or browse your way to  /home/user/.Trash
[05:04] <nibsa1242b_> Pelo: thanks
[05:04] <cafuego> iShock: It contains a whole array of partition management tools.
[05:04] <alex_ubuntu> hello ubuntu members
[05:04] <iShock> Ok
[05:04] <DanaG> Oh, the odd thing about my slowness: it's NOT an old computer.  Core Duo 1.83GHz, 1GB of RAM.  About the slowest component would be the 5400RPM hard drive.
[05:04] <iShock> I'll try to fly-resize Ubuntu
[05:04] <maja> is there any way to stop raid form loading during boot ?
[05:05] <Pelo> hello alex_ubuntu
[05:05] <maja> i have tried raid=noautodetect to no joy
[05:05] <iShock> DanaG: Tell me that link when I come back...I'll be on Vista Home Basic then
[05:05] <maja> i don't think grub likes that command
[05:05] <chrisjs169> Wow...been a long time since I've used ircII - i'm trying to get GRUB to select /home, which is /dev/sda2.  should i use (hd0,2) or (hd0,3) to select it?
[05:05] <gryph76> iShock: this might be of some interest to you - specifically about resizing Vista
[05:05] <alex_ubuntu> i had a question for wineHQ. Does anybody know it well?
[05:05] <gryph76> iShock: http://gparted.free.fr/screenshots/VISTA/Howto_move_VISTA.html
[05:05] <Pelo> maja,  try asking in #grub
[05:05] <DanaG> Ultimate Boot CD is a different utility.
[05:06] <chrisjs169> Pelo - guess I should ask in #grub too then :P
[05:06] <DanaG> For example, if your partition table ever breaks, TestDisk can save you once you figure out the interface.
[05:06] <nibsa1242b_> Any way I can recover a file I just accidentally del if its not in my .Trash?
[05:06] <DanaG> Inbound IN=tap0 OUT= MAC= SRC=10.1.1.1 DST=10.1.1.255 LEN=78 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=0 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=32773 DPT=137 LEN=58
[05:06] <DanaG> My dmesg is filled with these messages.
[05:06] <maja> chrisjs169: i would think 2
[05:07] <nibsa1242b_> And how to I figure out how to force my trash to keep large files? (at least for a little bit)
[05:07] <chrisjs169> maja - kinda thought so - thanks
[05:07] <maja> Pelo:  but what about unloading the module ?
[05:07] <Pelo> chrisjs169, no I thnk you need to edit your fstab if you are doing what I think you are doing
[05:07] <Pelo> maja,  I don't know
[05:07] <n2diy> nibsa1242b: I doubt it, linux is effecient at deleting stuff.
[05:07] <sledz41> Hey, I've got 2 network cards (Home Lan, the other Internet), I want to run them at the same time instead of switching. Is there a way?
[05:07] <moloto1> nibsa1242b your best bet is a file recovery app
[05:07] <Pelo> chrisjs169,  you want your /home folder to be on a seperate partition ?
[05:07] <maja> chrisjs169: Pelo is more right, home is mounted in fstab not grub
[05:08] <iShock> DANG
[05:08] <DanaG> Moving seems to be way harder than resizing.
[05:08] <iShock> DanaG: How did you say to try and resize on the fly?
[05:08] <DanaG> Mmm, water + electricity.
[05:08] <iShock> Pelo, why do that?
[05:08] <chrisjs169> Pelo/maja, /home is on another partition, but I think my cd drive just got killed, and i'm trying to reinstall ubuntu, but the only partition that I can use is /home
[05:08] <DanaG> Disk Management.
[05:08] <iShock> Ok
[05:09] <iShock> LOL Danag
[05:09] <n2diy> sledz41: Are both cards installed? What does ifconfig tell you?
[05:09] <maja> chrisjs169: sounds like your having problems
[05:09] <Electricity> (03:09:17 AM) NickServ: (notice) Password accepted - you are now recognized
[05:09] <nibsa1242b_> moloto1 care to recommend one? I accidentally hit the delete key twice and lost my Qemu image of a WinXP install, I'd rather not spend 4 hours installing it again, as I rarely use it, but need it for business purposes.
[05:09] <quio> I am a newb and have been reading up on ndiswrapper.  I am trying to install it but do not know the commands from a terminal to install.  I have the file unzipped.  Can someone guide me to a place where I could get the terminal command line to install this in ubuntu?
[05:09] <maja> so you want to wipe sda2 and install your os into it ?
[05:09] <Pelo> chrisjs169,  you'll end up overwriting your home folder if hyou do that
[05:10] <Pelo> Electricity,  I no longer take pms, please talk to me in channel
[05:10] <chrisjs169> Pelo, I already wiped /home (i made a backup and uploaded it to another server)
[05:10] <maja> chrisjs169: might as well redo the  enteir drive
[05:10] <DanaG> I tried Gutsy for a day, after making a backup; I then decided to go back to the backup after about two days.
[05:10] <Pelo> chrisjs169, then just install ubuntu and grub till install itself when you install and add the correct partition to boot from
[05:10] <geokeratz> hello
[05:11] <Pelo> hello geokeratz
[05:11] <chrisjs169> Pelo - I'm trying to do a hard drive based install, without a CD, as I (think) I may have killed my CD drive, so I'm just looking for a way to verify that /home is the second partition
[05:11] <dthomasdigital> Hey all
[05:12] <mistone> how do I upgrade ubuntu server 6.06 to 7.04 ?
[05:12] <stiki> hi, I want to try compiz on nvidia and I was trying to follow a howto from the forum but I got stuck.  I seem to not have a System->Administration->Restricted Drivers Manager or a System->Preferences->Desktop Effects in my menu.  Any ideas whats wrong?
[05:12] <geokeratz> hi dthomasdigital
[05:12] <nibsa1242b_> can anyone recommend a good file undel tool?
[05:12] <n2diy> ! upgrade | mistone
[05:12] <ubotu> mistone: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[05:12] <Zoffix> Hi, when I try to play a movie in `mplayer` everything works fine EXCEPT when I go into "Fullscreen" mode the movie doesn't resize. Did anybody ever have this before?
[05:12] <Broccoly_> nibsa1242b: there is no undelete in ext3
[05:13] <nibsa1242b_> mistone note that you'd have to goto 6.10 first, and then from 6.10 to 7.04
[05:13] <chrisjs169> Pelo/maja - So basically i'm just looking for a way to confirm that /home is the second parition
[05:13] <Pelo> chrisjs169, ok this is what I think you need to know then  (hd0,0)  means  hdA,B where A is the hdd and B is the partition,  the numbering starts with 0 ,  so /dev/sdb3) would translate as   hd1,2
[05:13] <nibsa1242b_> Broccoly_: ok, then any idea how I tell my .Trash to keep large files so I don't loose another large file?
[05:14] <chrisjs169> Pelo - ok, I think I got it
[05:14] <Broccoly_> nibsa1242b_:  You mean it deletes files which are too big for trash?
[05:15] <mistone> nibsa1242b_ thanks... but how do I upgrade the server from 6.06 to 6.10 it just says for desktop
[05:15] <DanaG> Any idea where the laggyness would be coming from?
[05:15] <chrisjs169> Pelo, I think I got it =)  Thanks
[05:15] <downstairs> how can I compile simple C++ code on Ubuntu? (gcc, g++ ?)
[05:15] <chrisjs169> downstairs - compile a compiler?
[05:16] <cafuego> downstairs: install gcc and make
[05:16] <Pelo> DanaG, no realy way to tell,  disable the candy that would probably help,  check yoursystem monitor to seewhat eats up your resources
[05:16] <cdubya> downstairs, g++
[05:16] <cafuego> downstairs: ie: `build-essential'.
[05:16] <nibsa1242b_> Broccoly_: I think that is what happened. I had a 6GB file (its my Qemu image of WinXP) I accidentally pressed delete twice, and now I can't find the file anywhere. It didn't goto .Trash it just *poof* into thin air.
[05:16] <DanaG> The odd thing is that it's not my CPU being eaten, either.

[05:16] <DanaG> It's more like somehow processes are taking ridiculous amounts of time to spawn.
[05:16] <crimsun> DanaG: perhaps a scheduler quirk.
[05:17] <crimsun> DanaG: is this reproducible on -386 instead of -generic?
[05:17] <DanaG> Hmm, my kernel has scheduler set to Anticipatory by default.  I'll try changing it.
[05:17] <tilkz> hi guys im having a small problem. i cannot connect to my website from any computer in my house.  when i set the website to internal ip  i can then acess but no one else can, why cant i connect to my ip>>???
[05:17] <n2diy> DanaG: check out the man page for nice
[05:17] <DanaG> It's actually a custom kernel, so bug reports wouldn't be relevant.
[05:18] <DanaG> Where in sysfs is the scheduler set?
[05:18] <Pelo> DanaG, if you bult a custom kernel chances are you know more about linux then 90% of the ppl in this channel
[05:18] <nibsa1242b_> Broccoly_: that or its putting it in a different Trash and I don't know where that would be. The file was at /media/sda3/
[05:18] <Broccoly_> nibsa1242b_: well you should not press delete twice on files you want to keep heh
[05:19] <downstairs> alright thanks guys
[05:19] <Broccoly_> nibsa1242b_: do a search on the whole file system for the file
[05:19] <nibsa1242b_> Broccoly_: I know that now. I think its still there bc I tried to unmount, and it asked me if I wanted to empty the Trash. I have no idea where the Trash is for my /media/sda3
[05:19] <purpzey> I am trying to overwrite my powernowd and power.sh in order to get my laptop to change brightness with AC plugged in, what is the safest way to overwrite the files, but still protecting myself in case something goes wrong?
[05:19] <rolnyzx> tilkz, you can access your webpage via web. There are some websites that show yours
[05:19] <Zoffix> Hi, when I try to play a movie in `mplayer` everything works fine EXCEPT when I go into "Fullscreen" mode the movie doesn't resize. Did anybody ever have this before?
[05:20] <nibsa1242b_> Broccoly_: stupid GUI, from now on I del with rm or rmdir from the command line only, at least that way I can't del the wrong file if I'm typing it out.
[05:20] <Pelo> Zoffix, it happend to me once it think it's just someting about that particular movie,  or try asking in #mplayer
[05:20] <tilkz> rolynx: jion this site
[05:20] <crimsun> DanaG: not the i/o scheduler.
[05:20] <GomoX> Hey
[05:20] <GomoX> Here's a question
[05:21] <tilkz> rolnyx: come to other channel
[05:21] <Zoffix> Pelo, no, any movie is like that. And thanks, I'll try
[05:21] <GomoX> Does the regular ubuntu installer also work as a live cd?
[05:21] <mantice> How do I install drivers for my tv capture card.
[05:21] <crimsun> DanaG: I recommend you use 2.6.20-15 with systemtap to narrow down the culprit.  The example scripts in /usr/share/doc/systemtap/examples/ will help.
[05:21] <Broccoly_> nibsa1242b_: try a find still, maybe its sitting somewhere
[05:21] <Pelo> GomoX,  the regular installer is the live cd
[05:21] <tilkz> rolnyzx: come to #sma
[05:21] <tilkz> i mean #sam
[05:21] <GomoX> great
[05:21] <cafuego> nibsa1242b_: wanna bet/ ;-)
[05:21] <n2diy> nibsa1242b: that is a bad assumption, google for rm and aliases
[05:21] <DanaG> Do I need to install the -debug packages?
[05:21] <DanaG> I'll first try booting the generic kernel as-is.
[05:22] <GomoX> 2nd question, does the live cd include tools like mkraid or mdadm so that I can setup a software raid and install to it later?
[05:22] <cafuego> nibsa1242b_: Enough people have accidentally run 'rm -f /' <heh>
[05:22] <tilkz> rolnyzx: come to #sam
[05:22] <mantice> can some one help me tv time says Cannot open capture device, Yet I was using it last night....
[05:22] <cafuego> GomoX: The installer allows you to configure mdraid, yes.
[05:22] <cdubya> heh....
[05:22] <darklard> Okay I've now installed the 32 bit 7.04 version over the 64bit and this solved my video issues however I am still running this laptop a little hotter than normal and I still get no sound any suggestions?
[05:22] <cafuego> GomoX: You can also bolt on raid later (I did)
[05:22] <GomoX> cafuego: even the plain one? someone else said that I needed to use the plain vanilla debian-installer included in the alternate installer
[05:23] <crimsun> DanaG: you will need to install linux-image-debug-2.6.20-15-foo , and you'll need to symlink /boot/vmlinux-2.6.20-15-foo to /lib/modules/2.6.20-15-foo/vmlinux
[05:23] <nibsa1242b_> cafuego: n2diy: yeah, I know that would probably actually be dumb. I was just expressing my frustration. I just don't understand why I don't know where the file went into trash. I'm sure its some where.
[05:23] <wir3> does anyone know how to install ksmoothdock?
[05:23] <Pelo> darklard,  for the heat check the cpufreq bit in here  http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty
[05:23] <cafuego> GomoX: I've not used the plain one (too slow) so I dunno... the `alternate' certainly does.
[05:23] <DanaG> 'foo' will be 'generic', in my case.
[05:23] <Pelo> !sound > darklard  and see the msg from ubotu
[05:23] <mantice> Can any one help me out with my tv capture card ? is there a command to detect all hardware ?
[05:23] <DanaG> My boot is a separate partition; should  I copy instead?
[05:24] <n2diy> nibsa1242b: as I mentioned before, linux is effecient at deleting files.
[05:24] <ircusr> wow
[05:24] <ircusr> its quiet here
[05:24] <Pelo> mantice,  your best bet is to look in the forum for instructions
[05:24] <Pijiu> Anyone got XboxLive working with Ubuntu, would love some help setting it up.
[05:25] <ircusr> xbox live and ubuntu dont mix
[05:25] <nibsa1242b_> n2diy I get that, but I know that there has to be something in trash somewhere, because when I went to unmount it, it asked me if I wanted to empty the trash, but I can't see any trash
[05:25] <mistone> ircusr: on 360 it works for me
[05:25] <wir3> ps2 and ps3 can mix with ubuntu!
[05:25] <GomoX> i liked not using a text based installer for a change
[05:25] <GomoX> i'm switching from debian

[05:26] <n2diy> nibsa1242b: did you tell it to empty the trash? If you did, it is gone.
[05:26] <Pelo> nibsa1242b, that particular trash would have been in that device, it might be hidden  crtl_h to see it

[05:27] <solidunit> anyone know how to get rid of xv tearing when using beryl and latest nvidia drivers ?
[05:27] <n2diy> nibsa1242b: cool, are you familiar with the locate command, that is  a good way to find stuff Nautilus won't.

[05:30] <iShock> DanaG

[05:32] <iShock> Well, I wanted to say thanks
[05:32] <r33ddl3r> anyone here w/LightScribe?
[05:32] <n2diy> Broccoly_: Roger that, locate does pattern matching, so I don't need to know pathnames, and exstensions, but that can be a PITA too.
[05:32] <r33ddl3r> deCon, get 'alien'
[05:32] <Pelo> linuxnooblah, it's even eaiser then that but you would have to have all the repositories enabled first
[05:32] <DanaG> Oh, did Vista's resizer work?
[05:32] <r33ddl3r> deCon, 'apt-get update && apt-get install alien'
[05:32] <echosa> anyone know how I can get myself back into the admin group (and every other default group for that matter)?

[05:33] <iShock> Once I get Linux installed, how do I choose which OS to boot?
[05:34] <deCon> Pelo: they only had rpm
[05:34] <purpzey> iShock: Grub will give you a choice
[05:34] <r33ddl3r> anyone here owns HP840 lightscribe dvd burner?
[05:34] <cinmachina> So there are 1135 users in this channel?
[05:34] <Pelo> iShock,  you'll get a boot loader,  called grub but it does not play well with vista,  so you may have to do some tweeking
[05:34] <echosa> r33ddl3r: can you tell me what the feisty fawn default groups are? I looked for a list online, but couldn't find one
[05:34] <cinmachina> Is that correct?
[05:34] <rolnyzx> Karark|away, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:34] <rolnyzx> Karark|away, with sudo
[05:34] <Karark|away> rolnyzx, i did
[05:34] <n2diy> Broccoly_: Roger that, but you don't need to use wildcards with locate, anything that hold the text you enter is displayed. And that is where it can be a real PITA, if something has the in, you get tons of stuff listed.
[05:35] <Karark|away> rolnyzx, chose fglrx
[05:35] <KiloHertz> hey solidunit in your Section "Device" for your video card. Add this line in:  Option "VideoOverlay"

[05:36] <Pelo> linuxnooblah,  close synaptic,   open up the terminal  sudo apt-get install wine
[05:36] <KiloHertz> If I type XMMS in terminal then close terminal XMMS closes. What do I type to make XMMS stay open even after I close terminal?
[05:37] <r33ddl3r> KiloHertz, "xmms &"
[05:37] <solidunit> KiloHertz: okay i added it, i'm going to have to restart xorg. you sure about this? i'm using beryl directly with the latest nvidia drivers; no xgl/no aiglx to my knowledge
[05:37] <Pelo> mantice, check in the forum for instructions , or if you still have the howto perform the installation again
[05:37] <r33ddl3r> or "screen xmms &"
[05:37] <harry2> ok thank guys i'll try that
[05:37] <n2diy> KiloHertz: XMMS &
[05:37] <KiloHertz> Yes try that solidunit.
[05:37] <DanaG> and instead of closing, type exit.
[05:37] <don_> in 7.04  how do i get a root password   there was no way to at setup
[05:37] <KiloHertz> Come back if it doesn't fix it.
[05:37] <solidunit> KiloHertz: brb, restarting xorg
[05:37] <KiloHertz> okay
[05:38] <linuxnooblah> pelo: said unavailable
[05:38] <echosa> r33ddl3r: I get "usermod: unable to lock password file"
[05:38] <Pelo> linuxnooblah, hold on, we'll do it the hard way
[05:38] <KiloHertz> hey xmms & opens xmms, but if I close terminal it still closes XMMS. So something besides that.
[05:38] <n2diy> don_: your password is root's password.
[05:38] <Karark|away> rolnyzx, any tips on what to play with?
[05:38] <mantice> Pelo: I did :( when I first put in my tv capture card tvtime detect it, now it doesn't. So im guessing I typed a command in yesterday that remove the driver or something
[05:38] <r33ddl3r> don_, edit /etc/passwd ... replace ! with * for the root' s entry
[05:38] <Pelo> linuxnooblah,  are you running the 64bit version of ubuntu ?

[05:39] <IAmWill> Does anyone know if e17 have been backported to ubuntu?
[05:39] <r33ddl3r> try sudo /usr/bin/usermod
[05:39] <Pelo> linuxnooblah, let me check but I think there is no available package for 64
[05:39] <linuxnooblah> pelo: o sigh
[05:39] <IAmWill> or, is there some repository link that I need to get it installed?  I saw that e16 was avail, but I would like to run e17 if possible
[05:39] <don_> thankyou
[05:39] <echosa> r33ddl3r well that's what I though, but like I said, sudo isn't working since my account got removed from all the gorups, and the root count is disabled by default
[05:40] <Pelo> iShock, I don'T know you'd have to check in the forum  I just know there were issues when vista came out,  it might just have been if you instaled vista after ubuntu tho
[05:40] <don_> thank you
[05:40] <Broccoly_> peoples, is there an encrypted disk creator ala truecrypt?
[05:40] <iShock> Pelo: I believe it is, because if you install Vista after Ubuntu, Vista overwrites Ubuntus GRUB

[05:41] <geokeratz> r33ddl3r> so I need to back up /etc only ?
[05:41] <bulmer> echosa all it means is single user mode does not require password, lest its been enabled on grub
[05:41] <iShock> I'll be using Ubuntu tomorrow if I'm lucky...
[05:41] <linuxnooblah> pelo: wouldnt happen to know how to isntall nvidia drivers :S
[05:42] <Pelo> iShock,  why didn't you just install feisty ?
[05:42] <deCon> i am trying to install a printer driver, but can't find the appropriate documentation...can someone help me?
[05:42] <echosa> ok I'll see what I can find/do
[05:42] <bulmer> Piji1: you share your connection using a router
[05:42] <iShock> Pelo, I'm installing from a Live CD that, when I got it, Feisty Fawn wasn't out yet

[05:44] <KiloHertz> Me hate gnome and KDE :)
[05:44] <Pelo> linuxnooblah, once you've added the repos it will be in synaptic , also in Add/remove and you will also be able to instal with the apt-get command
[05:44] <n2diy> KiloHertz: what are you running as a WM?
[05:45] <KiloHertz> openbox
[05:45] <r33ddl3r> geokeratz, /etc/ is where all the settings are stored (mostly)... so save that one.. plus your own goodies at /home or some other dirs
[05:45] <r33ddl3r> .. like.. i dunno.. /pr0n , etc
[05:45] <GigaClon> but i have never switched from Gnome and it seems slower than usual

[05:45] <r33ddl3r> KiloHertz, fluxbox!
[05:45] <KiloHertz> very light weight, but it isn't as fancy as gnome or kde. Just blank background and a right click menu for your programs. But it is fast.
[05:45] <linuxnooblah> pelo: 7.04 seems so much easier to use
[05:45] <geokeratz> r33ddl3r> ok thanks
[05:46] <KiloHertz> fluxbox, not really prefer
[05:46] <deags> hello i have a problem with my wine ... i use it one login and the next login it doesnt work any ideas??
[05:46] <Pelo> linuxnooblah, in what way ?
[05:46] <r33ddl3r> KiloHertz, well.. never used openbox
[05:46] <Pelo> deags, try asking in #winehq
[05:46] <echosa> so, no one can tell me the group list that the first user is a part of in Ubuntu?
[05:46] <downstairs> how can I compile simple code with g++ or gcc? "make sampleprog.cpp"? "g++ -c sampleprog.cpp"?
[05:46] <KiloHertz> you should try it. I think you would like it better then fluxbox.
[05:46] <Piji1> bulmer: If you're talking to me, I've never used a router prior to using Ubuntu. I just want to share the internet connection like I did on windows which allowed my xbox360 to connect online via my laptop
[05:46] <r33ddl3r> deags, tried 'dpkg-reconfigure wine' ?
[05:46] <linuxnooblah> pelo: previously it seemed to much harder to isntall stuff :S
[05:46] <solidunit> KiloHertz: i think that helped a little, but i still see some tearing. it only looks perfect when i switch back to metacity. are you using the same nvidia/beryl setup ?
[05:46] <GigaClon> all my pages in firefox are slow anyone have suggestions
[05:47] <Pelo> linuxnooblah, it is getting better with each new release
[05:47] <n2diy> echosa: You found it here.

[05:47] <linuxnooblah> pelo" btw in restricted driver it shows the nvidia drivers will it dl the latest driver ??
[05:47] <bulmer> Piji1: like you did in windows..which one was acting as the router? your windows? elaborate please..we can assist you after
[05:47] <seemless> I need some help with figuring out what an error message means
[05:48] <Pelo> linuxnooblah, it will downlaod one hat works

[05:48] <linuxnooblah> o
[05:48] <KiloHertz> solid unit I am not using BERYL. I don't like beryl.
[05:48] <linuxnooblah> pelo: thanks alot for helping a linux noob
[05:48] <Pelo> linuxnooblah, if you want the latest you'Re on your own
[05:48] <mantice> How do I reinstall the bt878 drivers ?
[05:48] <bulmer> seemless: way too vague, error from where?
[05:48] <linuxnooblah> pelo: heheh
[05:48] <Pelo> linuxnooblah, I'm pretty new myself
[05:48] <deags> r33dl3r i get this
[05:48] <Piji1> bulmer: Xbox360 connects to laptop, laptop connects to wireless internet... all I did before was share the internet connection and it worked
[05:48] <deags> r33dler i get this /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure must be run as root
[05:49] <KiloHertz> then type sudo the command deags
[05:49] <n2diy> echosa: Um, I guess I miss understood the question? Newbies are welcome here. If you want a list of channels, play with your IRC menus?
[05:49] <seemless> when ever i try to install a program from the add/remove menu i get the message E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[05:49] <seemless> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[05:49] <r33ddl3r> deags, you got it right brother
[05:49] <linuxnooblah> pelo: 2nd time using linux :S:S
[05:49] <downstairs> how can I compile simple code with g++ or gcc? "make sampleprog.cpp"? "g++ -c sampleprog.cpp"?
[05:49] <KiloHertz> seemless: type sudo dpkg --configure -a
[05:49] <deags> i got it right?
[05:49] <Broccoly_> why is it when i try to use synaptic package manager and say try to remove "mscompress" package it wants to remove "ubuntu-desktop" ?!?!
[05:50] <seemless> type it where (BTW this is my first linux distro)
[05:50] <GenNMX> Anyone have experience getting a Radeon 7000 working on x.org w/ S-Video out? I can't seem to get the Vertical Refresh right.
[05:50] <Pelo> linuxnooblah, I just started last year with dapper,  everyting on my machine worked right out of the box and I never looked back
[05:50] <bulmer> Piji1: you can do the same with ubuntu..you connect your Xbox to your ubuntu but you need to configure your ubuntu to forward packets..look in the network-manager settings
[05:50] <KiloHertz> seemless, type that in terminal
[05:50] <Pelo> GenNMX,  read the label at the back of your monitor
[05:50] <linuxnooblah> pelo: yeh i wanna make the switch but i need a few things to work well with wine, if it does ill say goodbye ti windows
[05:50] <n2diy> Broccoly_: I've encountered that here with Dapper, and it is harmless to proceed. BUT, YMMV, do your homework.
[05:51] <GenNMX> Pelo: S-Video out. Meaning I'm connecting to a TV.
[05:51] <GigaClon> is there a standard list of processes that run
[05:51] <echosa> n2diy: no no, I'm very familiar with IRC... I need the list of groups for the first user of Ubuntu (meaning, when you first install ubuntu and login, I need the results of 'groups' for that user, such as admin, sudo, etc)
[05:51] <mmcji> good evening
[05:51] <vbabiy> hey guys the 32bit Ubuntu should work fine on a 64bit processor right?
[05:51] <Pelo> linuxnooblah, I 'm one app away from ditching windows
[05:51] <vbabiy> Pelo: which one?
[05:51] <GigaClon> I need to debug whats making my computer run slow
[05:51] <Broccoly_> n2diy: what do you mean harmless to proceed hehe?!?! it will remove gnome and X and.... i tried it heh
[05:51] <Pelo> GenNMX, same suggestion for the tv set then
[05:51] <Pelo> vbabiy, AutoCAD
[05:51] <linuxnooblah> pelo: what app? i need ventrilo, photoshop, few games and ill make the switch
[05:51] <levander> GigaClon: what are your system specs?
[05:52] <vbabiy> o For me is the Adobe Products
[05:52] <vbabiy> but i use linux 99.9% of the time
[05:52] <GigaClon> 2.3Mhz 386MB memory
[05:52] <n2diy> echosa: Ah Ha, click on System-Admin-Users
[05:52] <vbabiy> hey guys the 32bit Ubuntu should work fine on a 64bit processor right?
[05:52] <r33ddl3r> echosa: you dont have r00t anyways.. so looking up groups will doyou no good... boot into a single user mode, edit /etc/passwd unlocking the root account.. change the password for r00t... and change your sudo roles then
[05:52] <Piji1> bulmer: I can't see an option to do that
[05:52] <GigaClon> but it seems to be running slower than usual esp firefox
[05:52] <linuxnooblah> vbabiy: yep
[05:52] <bulmer> vbabiy: why not trying it? and let us know
[05:52] <levander> GigaClon: if you could get more memory, that'd do the trick.  Look in top or gnome-system-monitor to see how much you're swapping.
[05:52] <Pelo> linuxnooblah,   try gimp  (with gimpshop if you must) many games work on wine , and I don't knwo what ventrillo is
[05:52] <r33ddl3r> GigaClon, run 'top' see what's using the resources
[05:53] <n2diy> Broccoly_: Google it. It did no harm here on Dapper. YMMV
[05:53] <echosa> n2diy: I know how to get a list of groups, I just don't know which ones the main user are a part of from the start , thanks though
[05:53] <iShock> Why can't I upgrade to Feisty Fawn now?
[05:53] <iShock> !upgrade
[05:53] <mrynit> if i have beryl working fine does that mean i have good working video drivers?
[05:53] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[05:53] <OSTENCUS> LETS TALK ABOUT LINUX!!!!!!!
[05:53] <vbabiy> for some reason i am getting these weird bugs like amarok is messing up and movie player
[05:53] <Pelo> vbabiy, it is actualy recommended,   64 bit lacks  flash and java
[05:53] <seemless> i cant find the terminal
[05:53] <Broccoly_> n2diy: i tried it on dapper and my desktop was gone
[05:53] <OSTENCUS> Apps, Accessories, terminal
[05:53] <r33ddl3r> seemless, "Alt+F2" and type xterm
[05:53] <linuxnooblah> pelo: ive used gimp a little, feels to foreign. as for ventrilo its a voip chat like teamspeak
[05:53] <Pelo> OSTENCUS, try  ##linux, this is to talk about ubuntu
[05:53] <seemless> thanks
[05:54] <OSTENCUS> Oh?
[05:54] <vbabiy> Pelo for some i am getting some really weird bugs do you think this has any thing to do with it
[05:54] <LOWER_CASE> Xsane can't recognise my Canoscan N640P scanner. scanimage works for root, but fails for normal users. Under root, scanimage reports:
[05:54] <LOWER_CASE>     "Options specific to device `canon:parport0':"
[05:54] <LOWER_CASE> But fails for normal users. I also found that there is no device called: /dev/parport0
[05:54] <LOWER_CASE> How do I undo this stupid name mangling (`canon:parport0') that seems to have crept into Linux so I can set the permissions on the file or device?  This sort of name-mangling desn't make things clearer: it just puts up barriers that stop people doing what they need.
[05:54] <n2diy> Broccoly_: Um, ok, then I guess I didn't do it. But I thought I read in the Forums that it was ok to do? Sorry.
[05:54] <Pelo> linuxnooblah,  then install   gimpshop on top of gimp  it is intend to make gimp more familiar to phtoshop users
[05:54] <GigaClon> yeah im using only 30 some percent memory
[05:54] <linuxnooblah> pelo: ill give it a try
[05:55] <echosa> thanks all, i got it figured out :)
[05:55] <mkquist> anyone know how to get azureus to work in fawn? just closes after opening main window
[05:55] <Pelo> LOWER_CASE, search for your scanner model in the forum and see if there is a fix
[05:55] <Broccoly_> n2diy: did it say why it wants to do that? remove ubuntu-desktop that is
[05:55] <Assimilator> is it possible to install a live CD from command line ?
[05:55] <CaptainMorgan> I asked this in bash, but no seems to be able to assist. here is the post: http://pastebin.ca/497930 the end of the post contains the errors I receive every time I open a terminal. before the errors are basically a default .bashrc any ideas what causing the errors ?
[05:55] <mmcji> I recently upgraded from 6.10 to 7.04 on a headless server.  my two methods of accessing the server have been ssh and vnc.  after the upgrade I discovered the bug effecting keyboard layout having to do with access 7.04 via vnc.
[05:55] <linuxnooblah> is there a utorrent liek bittorent client for linux?
[05:55] <bulmer> Piji1: you may have to load another package to allow you to manage firewall/forwarding, plus a dhcp to allocate an ip address to your xbox..
[05:55] <GigaClon> it seems that changing the theme did the trick
[05:55] <Pelo> linuxnooblah,  you'll have to dl gimpshop, easiestway is to look it up in wikipedia and go to the website fromtherer
[05:55] <n2diy> Broccoly_: Yes, it was something about how Dapper was packaged, don't recall the details.
[05:55] <OSTENCUS> Not really, but you can use wine
[05:56] <cafuego> linuxnooblah: No, but there is 'rtorrent', which is fast, small and flexible.
[05:56] <Pelo> linuxnooblah,  you can run utorrent on wine ,  I do
[05:56] <linuxnooblah> pelo: thx
[05:56] <jesusphreak> I have an AMD 64-bit processor...is it recommended I install 64-but Ubuntu or x86? will I have issues with 64-bit?
[05:56] <Piji1> bulmer: and which package would that be
[05:56] <LOWER_CASE> Pelo: the scanner works for root: I just can't find the /dev/xxxxx file to change the permissions.  All I see is canon_pp:parport0, which is not a file name.
[05:56] <linuxnooblah> pelo: sweet
[05:56] <crdlb> jesusphreak: for a desktop, go with 32bit
[05:56] <CaptainMorgan> I thought it was .bash_aliases since that is the only file I added, and as you can see within .bashrc I recommented bash_asliases back out to see if it was cuasing the errors.. but it's still doing it
[05:56] <cafuego> jesusphreak: for normal desktop sue, stick with 32bit.
[05:56] <cafuego> jesusphreak: 64bit has issues with video codecs, java and flash.
[05:57] <mmcji> i did a apt-get install of blackbox, but im not sure how to switch from gnome to blackbox.  commenting out gnome-session & under the .vnc/xstartup and adding blackbox & is not working, any ideas ?
[05:57] <Pelo> jesusphreak,  64 bit has no flash and no java,  x86 runs well on 64 machines,  and are recommended if you donT' have a specific need for a 64 bit os
[05:57] <jesusphreak> okay thanks for the help

[06:00] <LOWER_CASE> Pelo: I had the scanner working fine under Red Hat 9 (installed parallel port drive, sane, xsane, etc).  Ubuntu already has the parallel port driver and sane definitions.  All I did was uncomment one line in a config file.  The trouble is the _d_e_v_i_c_e_ name.

[06:05] <mmcji> anyone else here had to deal with the keyboard layout bug having to do with VNC on 7.04 ?
[06:05] <bhavik> kind of, just didn't know what to turn down
[06:05] <n2diy> cafuego: does feisty have another PDF viewer?
[06:05] <gryph76> deCon: I you said that the pdf is opening in document viewer? Click File - Properties and see if it has security on the pdf

[06:06] <n2diy> jscinoz: add a & sign after the command, put as space between the command and the & sign.
[06:07] <deCon> gryph76: sure doesn't. It allows me to print to file, but when i select the printer i just installed...it doesn't allow the print button
[06:07] <mmcji> at this point, i do not really want to fix this...since i have heard it is tied in with gnome, i just want to change my working env to blackbox.  From what I have google and seen on the ubuntu forums that should do the trick.
[06:08] <gryph76> deCon: you could try using xpdf instead
[06:08] <idefixx> jscinoz: what n2diy said, also take a look at tmpreaper.
[06:08] <deCon> gryph76: how to install?
[06:08] <gryph76> deCon: apt-get install xpdf
[06:08] <deCon> gryph76: thanks
[06:09] <arpegius> attempting to ssh into my box is very laggy... at least 30 seconds til i'm promted for a password. i'm using an out-of-the-box linksys router while i tinker w/ my main one. could that be chocking the connection?
[06:09] <gryph76> deCon: have you managed to print anything else to the printer? maybe something like a plain text document? Just to verify that the printer is set up correctly
[06:10] <mmcji> anyone know how to change your default desktop on 7.04 from gnome to another desktop env FROM the command line ?
[06:10] <ionstorm> what is the best gui program to copy a vcd to dvd?
[06:10] <ionstorm> like convert avi to dvd then copy it
[06:10] <ionstorm> gui preferrably
[06:10] <idefixx> arpegius: is the ssh session itself also laggy if not its probably the dns lookup. 'UseDNS=no'
[06:11] <deCon> gryph76: that is the problem, it won't let me print to anything. It will print a test page though...???
[06:11] <linuxnooblah> when i isntall nvidia drivers using the restricted driver window is it the latest driver or???
[06:11] <rolnyzx> ionstorm, i think you can do that with k3b
[06:11] <mmcji> on 4.10, 5.04 6.6 and 6.10 iwas just able to chnage this in .vnc/xstartup, but that is not working in 7.04
[06:11] <ionstorm> rolnyzx, im in k3b now and cant find an option for that but i'll look
[06:12] <Jinchurei> On the wiki page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows it describes a netboot that uses breezy - will that process as written work on feisty?
[06:12] <sleepwalkers> Is there anyone in here who has any experience either Telnetting or DCC chatting to an IRC bot and is willing to give me a hand?
[06:13] <rolnyzx> ionstorm, need plug-ins
[06:13] <arpegius> idefixx: where does that string go?
[06:13] <n2diy> Jinchurei: check the last time it was updated, if it isn't recently, to trust it.
[06:13] <oldude67> what do i look for in ifconfig to see if my eth0 card is loaded?
[06:13] <n2diy> to = don't
[06:13] <idefixx> arpegius: is disables the dns query that the sshd does when opening a session
[06:13] <Jinchurei> n2diy - 2/4/07
[06:14] <rolnyzx> ionstorm, but I am not sure, I haven't tried it
[06:14] <LOWER_CASE> Anyone know how to set permissions something called "xxxxx:yyyyy" ?
[06:14] <arpegius> idefixx: so run it as part of the command? ssh me@asdf usedns=no?
[06:14] <idefixx> arpegius: oops its 'UseDNS no' btw. also 'man sshd_config'
[06:14] <mmcji> you need to see that it is present when you run ifconfig
[06:14] <n2diy> Jinchurei: That is before 7.04, so I wouldn't use it.
[06:14] <idefixx> arpegius: no, it goes into the sshd_config the server does that not the client.
[06:14] <arpegius> idefixx: ahhh... thanks
[06:15] <oldude67> mmcji: thanks...it figures its not....oh well.....
[06:15] <mmcji> lol
[06:15] <mmcji> that is not really a bad question, just so you know
[06:15] <Jinchurei> n2diy - do you know where i would find up-to-date instructions?  My laptop has no useful cd drive and the network instructions require tearing apart my home network as it stands, so i'd like to leave that as a last option
[06:15] <oldude67> mmcji: its just a old dell i was just messing around with.....
[06:15] <mmcji> i would check dmesg and /var/log/messages to see if there were any problems loading the card
[06:16] <aimes> hello, can anybody direct me to any resources about setting the computer up to be used by two users at the same time - one as a computer terminal
[06:16] <n2diy> Jinchurei: Google for Ubuntu and XXXX, maybe you'll find something in the forums?
[06:16] <mmcji> i am using a Dell TrueMobile 1150...best darn wireless card i have ever used....works w/o installing any drivers on linux, freebsd and minix
[06:17] <mmcji> o and windows
[06:17] <LOWER_CASE> Can anyone tell me how to set permissions on something called "xxxxx:yyyyy"?  It doesn't exist as a real file.
[06:17] <mmcji> i mean windozs
[06:17] <wafflepox> hey broedj1
[06:17] <wafflepox> you still have that link to the guy who managed the P900 syncing with bluetooth?
[06:17] <wafflepox> I haven't got logging turned on so I lost the link
[06:17] <gryph76> deCon: if you can't print to the printer from more than one application (say gedit and Evince Document Viewer both) then I'd say there's something wrong with the printer setup.
[06:18] <oldude67> mmcji: it says 3com on the dmesg...but wont enable it.....think ill just shove a different one it then....like a realtec or something...got a good suggestion?
[06:18] <n2diy> LOWER_CASE: So it is a link? Do an ls-al on  the directory, and you should find what it links to.
[06:18] <deCon> gryph76: i'm at linuxprinting.org, but it doesn't seem to help me, i dont think i have installed correctly...can you help or send me somewhere that can better walk through
[06:19] <pppoe_dude> hi. how can i connect two laptops via wireless without a router?
[06:19] <wafflepox> deCon: what printer is it?
[06:19] <GenNMX> Alright, what is going on here. I've tried two different Radeon 7000 cards using their TV-Out ports, and both give the same result -- obviously incorrect vertical refresh on the TV.
[06:19] <deCon> wafflepox: canon pixma ip6600d
[06:19] <downstairs> Help: Firefox's Fireftp won't transfer files.. (I think it's privilleges restrictions.. even though I'm admin/sudo)
[06:19] <wafflepox> pppoe_dude: google for ad-hoc wireless ubuntu
, thanks, but it isn't a file.  scanimage reports "canon_pp:parport0", but there is no /dev/parport0 ... how does this name mangling work?
[06:20] <DanaG> Well, that was odd: the -generic kernel is missing the nvidia_new module.
[06:20] <Karark|away> anyone experience a black screen with fglrx when GDM starts?
[06:20] <n2diy> LOWER_CASE: Everything to linux is a file. Set your permissions on the link, and whatever it links to, and you should be good to go.
[06:21] <DanaG> Oh, wait, I edited the lrm-video file.
[06:21] <mmcji> lol, i belong to the, "ya really gunna throw that computer in the trash club" so my recommendations are a bit dated, but this dell wireless card and my USR 2410 work great
[06:21] <mmcji> i use the USR with kismet
[06:21] <LOWER_CASE> n2diy: chmod a+rw canon_pp:parport0
[06:21] <LOWER_CASE> chmod: cannot access `canon_pp:parport0': No such file or directory
[06:21] <keypad> Can some one please help me setup my tv capture card ?
[06:21] <mmcji> i also have a dlink DWL-G650M that works fine as long as you use a wrapper
[06:22] <LOWER_CASE> n2diy: like I said, I can't find what "blah:blah" points to.
[06:22] <n2diy> LOWER_CASE: probably "sudo chmod XXXXX /dev/canon.....
[06:22] <DavidHKMrPowers> may i know who should use sun solaris?
[06:22] <oldude67> mmcji:well this one was a door stop till i found some memory to put in it...so guess im in that club too....lmao
[06:22] <mmcji> lol, good people in this crowd!
[06:23] <LOWER_CASE> n2diy: root@krusty:/dev# ls c*
[06:23] <LOWER_CASE> cdrom  console  core
[06:23] <LOWER_CASE> root@krusty:/dev#
[06:23] <LOWER_CASE> n2diy: that's it...
[06:23] <n2diy> DavidHKMrPowers: Sun employees? :)
[06:23] <joedaddymac> does anyone here know how to use apollon?
[06:23] <Assimilator> is it normal for the live cd to run like a dog with 256ram?
[06:23] <mrigns> Assimilator: ya
[06:23] <kolob>  ,        
[06:23] <DavidHKMrPowers> n2diy :) but how is solaris better than linux?
[06:24] <DroNix> lol
[06:24] <Assimilator> is it possible to install a live CD from command line, the live boot seems to be slow as hell?
[06:24] <n2diy> LOWER_CASE: what is the : doing in there?
[06:24] <n2diy> DavidHKMrPowers: Who said it was better? The are both Xunices.
[06:25] <aimes> would multiseat linux work with ATI integrated graphics card + NVidia PCIe card?
[06:25] <DanaG> But oddly, when gnome-panel crashed, it took over TWO MINUTES to start again.
[06:25] <joedaddymac> i cant run apollon!
[06:25] <hitmanWilly> Assimilator: try the alternate cd, it has a text mode install
[06:25] <DavidHKMrPowers> n2diy Xunice is what?
[06:25] <joedaddymac> it doesnt search for files.
[06:25] <mmcji> DavidHKMrPowers: this distro is better than that distro types of questions never really go anywhere...Solaris is a good system, as is debian/ubuntu as is freebsd...etc...
[06:26] <Assimilator> doh so another download ?
[06:26] <hitmanWilly> fraid so
[06:26] <mmcji> the scheduler on Solaris scales well
[06:26] <downstairs> how can I view a .chm in Ubuntu?
[06:26] <LOWER_CASE> n2diy: that's what's got me confused.  scanimage reports
[06:26] <LOWER_CASE> List of available devices:
[06:26] <LOWER_CASE>     canon_pp:parport0
[06:26] <LOWER_CASE> but there is no canon* or parport0 in /dev/
[06:26] <n2diy> DavidHKMrPowers: Sorry, my bad, Unices, as in plural Unix, the came from the same POSIX standard, so supposedly, they are all compatible?
[06:27] <joedaddymac> APOLLON.... WHY WONT THOU WORK?
[06:27] <joedaddymac> :(
[06:27] <Xenguy> bye
[06:27] <hitmanWilly> Assimilator: its probably possible, but you'd have to do it manually by hand, take longer than just downloading the alt :)
[06:27] <oldude67> mmcji:well right now all i have here is a realtec so i think ill shove it in and hope for the best...lol...
[06:27] <DavidHKMrPowers> mmcji, n2diy thanks :)
[06:28] <joedaddymac> oh apollon, my apollon...
[06:28] <n2diy> LOWER_CASE: ? Run lshw in a terminal, and see if that finds a printer, /dev something?
[06:28] <n2diy> DavidHKMrPowers: GL
[06:29] <gryph76> deCon: it looks like one or two others have run into the same problems with that printer - closest I've come to finding a solution is here: http://forums.freestandards.org/read.php?25,1671,1671
[06:29] <deCon> gryph76: thanks, ill check it out
[06:29] <joedaddymac> I love apollon, so put another dime in the jukebox baby. I love apollon.....
[06:30] <oldude67> unless anyone knows how to get a 3com card to work????
[06:30] <techjim> I just set up a ubuntu 7.04 server and I went to install joomla and I ran into the mysql problem, access denied for user, root, which even spoiled by previously working ISPconfig.
[06:30] <DanaG> That's odd, gnome-system-monitor shows almost everything as "sleeping".
[06:31] <HiddenHax> why does tremulous crash?
[06:31] <idefixx> DanaG: thats because most of the stuff is sleeping
[06:31] <HiddenHax> I dont know how to access logs
[06:31] <insomniac190> Is there a program for ubuntu feisty that would allow me to perform a complete backup of my harddrive?
[06:32] <Broccoly_> is there a GUI sftp client?
[06:32] <oldude67> can anyone send me into the right direction on a 3com nit card?
[06:32] <n2diy> DanaG: So do something and wake them up!
[06:32] <artabrahao> How Can I check if the vnc server is running and How Can I configure it?
[06:32] <DanaG> Also, it's still taking odd amounts of time to do anything.
[06:33] <wafflepox> artabrahao: "ps -ef | grep vnc" should show it if it's running
[06:33] <LOWER_CASE> n2diy: ran that (good stuff) but did not show any parallel port info.  To summarise, (1) scanimage works for root, but not for lusers, and (2) scanimage reports the device as "canon_pp:parport0", not a "/dev/xxxxx", so (3) I can't find "canon_pp:parport0" to change its permissions!
[06:33] <techjim> I just set up a ubuntu 7.04 server and I went to install joomla and I ran into the mysql problem, access denied for user, root, which even spoiled by previously working ISPconfig.
[06:34] <DanaG> Odd, module-assistant lacks nvidia-new.
[06:34] <mmcji> insomniac190: i can give you a dd script that will clone your hd to another hd...i use that so if i have a hd crash, i can have my server back up and running right away..i do not have to restore anything, i just power down, pop the bkup hd, in this case scsi drive in and pwoer up...
[06:34] <wafflepox> DanaG: you talking about nvidia-glx-new?
[06:34] <n2diy> LOWER_CASE:  Roger that, it is good stuff! Have you run locate, on the printer?
[06:34] <DanaG> So I can't use nvidia with the -generic kernel, because /lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/nvidia is MISSING.
[06:35] <mmcji> ps aux|grep vnc
[06:35] <wafflepox> well copy the one from the non-generic across
[06:35] <n2diy> LOWER_CASE:  Not on "printer" itself, but what device you think it might be?
[06:35] <wafflepox> it _might_ work :P
[06:35] <nesteaplunge> Question: I am looking to install Linux on my windows computer. How can I make sure my keyboard and mouse will work?
[06:35] <wafflepox> nesteaplunge: LOL
[06:35] <darklard> so... I don't get any sound and when using alsamixer the pcm shows 0.0 and I can't increase it at all...
[06:35] <wafflepox> nesteaplunge: by plugging them in
[06:36] <mmcji> this is how i setup my vncserver..............vncserver -geometry 1000x700 -depth 16 -port 1
[06:36] <mmcji> do NOT do that from root!
[06:36] <nesteaplunge> I just want to make sure, this is my only computer.
[06:37] <oldude67> nesteaplunge: make back ups of anything important
[06:37] <n2diy> nesteaplunge: How did you make sure they would work when Winders was installed? You can't it is a leap of faith. If you suspect they won't work, google for info on them, and check out the lists that list linux compatible devcies.
[06:37] <idefixx> DanaG: i'd say its a mod-ass issue, 'apt-cache search nvidia' and find you module there. its name is not nvidia-new
[06:37] <hugo_> ola
[06:38] <hugo_> algun
[06:38] <LOWER_CASE> n2diy: don't have a printer (daughter left home & took it), & have just plugged the scanner in (which I gotten working OK under Red Hat 9, after installing *everything* from scratch). lshw doesn't report on anything that resembles lpt*, pp*, par*, etc.
[06:38] <hugo_> perruano
[06:38] <nesteaplunge> n2diy: well these are microsoft and compaq products, it wasn't really a leap of faith
[06:38] <DarthShrine> Can the Feisty installer resize a Vista NTFS partition?
[06:38] <maja> any one know how to stop raid drives form loading during boot ?
[06:38] <artabrahao> the result is grep vnc , what it means?
[06:39] <n2diy> LOWER_CASE:  Ok, have you gone through the basics? Plugged in, power on? Sorry, had to ask.
[06:39] <Milicent-Bystand> hi
[06:39] <nesteaplunge> n2diy: but yes good advice, thanks
[06:39] <oldude67> nesteaplunge: still back up, cause nothings perfect
[06:39] <LOWER_CASE> n2diy: also there's nothing in /dev/ that looks remotely like a parport0, although there is lp0.
[06:40] <purpzey> DarthShrine: If a vista partition is no different than an XP partition it should....But partitioning is always risky.
[06:40] <LOWER_CASE> n2diy: no ask... it's all good :)
[06:40] <n2diy> nesteaplunge: Keyboards and mice are pretty simple stuff, and I've never had an issue with them, GL.
[06:40] <Milicent-Bystand> I'm having a strange problem with xubuntu and my old compaq docking station (for my compaq armada m700 laptop), the ps2 ports for mouse and keyboard do not get through...but it used to work fine with gentoo
[06:40] <DanaG> Vista itself is the best tool to resize Vista.
[06:40] <nesteaplunge> well it just finished downloading, i'm off to go try
[06:40] <DanaG> Go to diskmgmt.msc
[06:40] <DarthShrine> purpzey, I've just heard Vista doesn't like getting its partition resized. I don't mind if it gets broken anyway; I'll just restore. But I'd rather avoid doing that...
[06:40] <nafis_devlpr> does anyone knows how to add a program to the ubuntu startup??
[06:40] <artabrahao> when I type vncserver appears command not foung
[06:40] <LOWER_CASE> n2diy: it scans under root, but not for lusers...
[06:40] <purpzey> Darth: @DanaG
[06:41] <n2diy> LOWER_CASE:  What about LPT1, or LPTX?
[06:41] <Xyhthyx> How would I go about using fwcutter to extract/install the bcm43xx firmware from this site http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/bcm43xx
[06:41] <DarthShrine> DanaG, Looking into it now, thanks.
[06:41] <n2diy> LOWER_CASE:  lusers?
[06:42] <keypad> Can some one help me with my tv capture card please ?
[06:42] <LOWER_CASE> n2diy: no... haven't needed to so far: it's basically Ubuntu 6.06 out of the box.
 when I type vncserver appears command not foung
[06:42] <Lilacor> hi folks, how do I get this API mismatched error to go away?
[06:42] <rob_p> LOWER_CASE: Do, "sudo modprobe ppdev" and you'll have a parport device node under /dev.
[06:42] <n2diy> LOWER_CASE:  What is a lusers?
[06:42] <Lilacor> 'er I mean when trying to run xorg
[06:43] <mmcji> which vnc package did you install ?  vncserver or vnc4server ?
[06:43] <mmcji> or tightvnc etc..?
[06:43] <badmacktuck> can someone help me make my soundcard work. ive been going through tutorials and im pretty sure ive just made it worse. its an intel ich7 on a lenovo and im trying to run feisty
[06:43] <purpzey> Lilacor: This might be unnecessary but, I just wanted to thank you again for all your help earlier....It took 6 hours or so, but I finally got everything (including the touchpad) up and working really smoothly on the laptop.
[06:44] <vbabiy> Hey guys i am running a x86 version of ubuntu on a 64bit cpu should the codecs work fine?
[06:44] <LOWER_CASE> n2diy: luser is an old sysadmin term for local user, i.e., not root, pronounced 'loser'
 When I try to install from synapic it appears to me that is installed yet
[06:44] <Lilacor> purpzey: cool! now I'm stuck in console mode! :O
[06:44] <mmcji> which one ?
[06:45] <crimsun> badmacktuck: which lenovo?
[06:45] <Karark|away> i got my fglrx working, needed to disable DPMS
[06:45] <Lilacor> purpzey: I reinstalled with x64 kubuntu
[06:45] <n2diy> LOWER_CASE:  Roger that! Pardon my newbieness, afterr 6 years. :)
[06:45] <geokeratz> badmacktuck> i don't have sound in my ubuntu too don't worry. I'm in ready for a new Feisty installation this week. :(
[06:45] <badmacktuck> crimsun, its a lenovo 3000 n100 0689
[06:45] <digin4> is there a gba emulator for linux?:P
[06:45] <purpzey> Lilacor: No, Gnome now?
[06:45] <wir3> need help with setting up a dock
[06:45] <badmacktuck> geokeratz, i just formatted it today =(
[06:45] <Lilacor> purpzey: I wanted to try x64 + KDE so I got it...and it ain't working the way I want it to...yet
 3.3.7.8. ubuntu2
[06:46] <geokeratz> badmacktuck> haha
[06:46] <crimsun> badmacktuck: you need alsa-{kernel,driver} hg, then.  Please install 'build-essential', 'autoconf', 'automake1.7', 'mercurial', and 'libtool'.  Then read the instructions at the bottom of the Download page linked from http://www.alsa-project.org
[06:46] <mmcji> and if you are on 7.04 and are running gnome, don't bother. unless the bug effecting keyboard layout has been fixed...there are some workarounds, but im not much or stopgap work arounds..
[06:46] <purpzey> Lilacor: Although I can't help you in anyway...since you saw my expertise earlier...I can certainly empathize...But in a sense that's what I like about all this...Forces you to learn new things.
[06:46] <vbabiy> why does my amarok say no Mp3 support
[06:46] <Lilacor> purpzey: it's okay, I just think it's funny. :P
[06:46] <purpzey> vbabiy: Did you install the codecs?
[06:46] <crimsun> vbabiy: you need to install libxine1-ffmpeg.
[06:46] <wir3> anyone know where i get an dock?
[06:46] <LOWER_CASE> n2diy: with modprobe ppdev "/dev/parport0" magically appeared -- shazam!  Will try luser access now...
[06:46] <DanaG> Here's a lovely line of code:
[06:46] <DanaG> *(void*)NULL;
[06:47] <Lilacor> wir3: if you go to the nearest lake they might sell you one
[06:47] <Checkk1> Even after upgrading and installing Feisty from scratch, I get an error where neither logoff or switch user work, whenever i try to do either of those, the laptop just stops with a blank screen.
[06:47] <badmacktuck> crimsun, im not sure i understand the first part
[06:47] <NickGarvey> !mp3 | vbabiy
[06:47] <ubotu> vbabiy: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[06:47] <vbabiy> crimsun: i have installed them
[06:47] <Lilacor> Checkk1: maybe check your xorg.conf file?
[06:47] <n2diy> LOWER_CASE:  GL, let me know how it worked out?
[06:47] <wir3> lilacor, i but i live in chicago
[06:47] <Lilacor> Checkk1: did you check your /var/log/<xorg-related> log?
[06:47] <wir3> anyway
[06:47] <Lilacor> wir3: :D
[06:47] <Checkk1> let me ceck right now
[06:47] <crimsun> vbabiy: did you quit and reopen amarok?
[06:48] <mmcji> i run a headless server so the vnc bug has been a real pain for me...i use my server for several things beyond my webserver, but until the keyboard layout issue resolved im stuck
[06:48] <wir3> Lilacor, =3
[06:48] <crimsun> badmacktuck: first, install those packages that I listed.  Then we can address what you need to do.
[06:48] <Lilacor> argh! I'm trying to get help! I always end up helping a lot of other folks! >_<;
[06:48] <n2diy> LOWER_CASE:  And I forgot about lsmod, that might have helped?
[06:48] <mmcji> later
[06:48] <badmacktuck> thanks crimsun
[06:48] <cbs> how do I use a .x86.run file?
[06:48] <Lilacor> cbs: chmod 700 it and then run it
[06:49] <wir3> anyone know how to setup ksmoothdock?
 why I cant execute vncserver?
[06:49] <wir3> or kooldock
[06:49] <Gallius> does anyone know why my title bar disappears when i enable desktop effects?
[06:49] <vbabiy> nevermind crimsun i got it to work
[06:49] <DanaG> The other day, I discovered something funny about my amplified stereo microphone jack.
[06:49] <LOWER_CASE> n2diy: OK, changed perms on /dev/parport0, and scanimage is now running.  To summarise: as root: modprobe ppdev, then chmod a+rw /dev/parport0
[06:50] <vbabiy> Hey is there a reason why the servers have been really slow lately
[06:50] <Lilacor> Gallius: it's a well  known issue
[06:50] <DanaG> If I leave the connector of a particular pair of headphones sticking partly out, I can pick up one single AM radio station.
[06:50] <n2diy> LOWER_CASE:  So it is working?
[06:50] <Gallius> ohhh :(
[06:50] <Lilacor> Gallius: you can fix it
[06:50] <badmacktuck> okay crimsun i installed those packages, what next
[06:50] <DanaG> WIth a lot of noise, but clearly audible over the noise.
[06:50] <Gallius> how do I do that?
[06:51] <Checkk1> What should I be looking for?  Has anyone else had a buggy logoff or switch user..?
[06:51] <Lilacor> Gallius: I don't remember but I got it working after a few hours
[06:51] <rob_p> LOWER_CASE: If you want the parport device node available at bootup, you can add, "ppdev" to /etc/modules
[06:51] <Lilacor> Gallius: complete with beryl
[06:51] <deCon> gryph76: fixed it...thank you! i've been trying to get this working for a couple months...now onto samba!
[06:51] <Lilacor> Checkk1: doesn't your xorg log tell you anything about your screens going bonkers?
[06:51] <Gallius> when i enable desktop effects am i using compiz or beryl?
[06:52] <Checkk1> Lilacor, im not sure if its the screen or something with logout
[06:52] <Lilacor> Checkk1: if your screen goes blank when you try to switch users...that's the first place I'd look
[06:52] <Checkk1> or switch user
 why I cant execute vncserver?
[06:52] <Checkk1> where should i look?
[06:52] <Lilacor> Gallius: no, not that *I* know of but I could be wrong
[06:52] <Lilacor> Checkk1: check with your system messages or your kernel messages
[06:52] <n2diy> Gallius: check you /var/logs/dmsg file, and see which one is loading
[06:53] <Gallius> ok
[06:53] <Lilacor> Checkk1: check your xorg log file also
[06:53] <DanaG> My Gnome logoff often hangs.
[06:53] <keypad> Can some one help me with my tv capture card please ?
[06:53] <cbs> lilacor: ok did that, worked, thankyou...ffr what exactly is chmod?
[06:53] <n2diy> DanaG: Why are you logging off?
[06:53] <keypad> !chmod
[06:53] <ubotu> The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux

[07:09] <DanaG> Cool, I'll have to give it a try later.
[07:09] <joedaddymac> Im having a hell of a time to try to figure it out.
[07:09] <momoru> I install feisty, reboot, it starts to load, sits there for a couple minutes, then drops to busybox with an error that /dev/disk/by-uuid/[whatever uid hda1 is]  doesn't exist.
[07:09] <Talaman72> untar them joe
[07:09] <crimsun> darklard: what sort of issues?
[07:09] <Talaman72> or use archiver
[07:09] <Ozymandias2> do i have to go to a different website or something? ppcbuntu.org or something?
[07:09] <joedaddymac> I do that...but then what?
[07:09] <badmacktuck> crimsun, i have sound now
[07:09] <Ozymandias2> or does ubuntu's website have a bug or something?
[07:09] <badmacktuck> crimsun, thank you so so so much

[07:09] <usser> hello guys
[07:09] <wir3> ubotu, do you know where i can get an dock?
[07:10] <crimsun> badmacktuck: (I know, I made those fixes :-)
[07:10] <Talaman72> then go to the directory you untar it at and run ./configure
[07:10] <joedaddymac> whats archiver?
[07:10] <bruenig> !opsnack | wir3
[07:10] <Talaman72> oi

[07:10] <badmacktuck> crimsun, well, that makes you friggin hero
[07:10] <wir3> opsnack is teh name of it?
[07:10] <crimsun> badmacktuck: nope, no hero.  I drink a lot of coffee, though.
[07:10] <usser> question im going home for the summer and want to install ubuntu on my home pc there wont be internet though, what repositories are there on the dvd universe etc??
[07:11] <Ozymandias2> hello?
[07:11] <badmacktuck> crimsun, are those fixes going to be party of the next stable of ubuntu?
[07:11] <crimsun> usser: no, neither universe nor multiverse are distributed on the dvd.
[07:11] <crimsun> badmacktuck: yes.
[07:11] <badmacktuck> crimsun, awesome, thank you
[07:11] <crimsun> badmacktuck: np
[07:11] <Ozymandias2> did ubuntu drop PPC support?
[07:11] <crimsun> Ozymandias2: as a Canonical-supported $arch, yes.
[07:11] <usser> crimsun: but can i install stuff from dvd???
[07:11] <cables> Ozymandias2, officially, yes, but there's an unofficial build.
[07:11] <momoru> So I boot back into the livecd and mount hda1 and browse to the /dev folder and I find out that there is indeed no /dev/disk folder, nor are there any device files for any of my IDE drives.
[07:12] <crimsun> Ozymandias2: it remains in ports, where the unofficial $arches reside.
[07:12] <DanaG> crimsun: http://www.csc.calpoly.edu/~dgoyette/dmesg.audigycrash.txt
[07:12] <usser> crimsun: that makes no sense, so packages are only available through the internet?
[07:12] <DanaG> from toggling capture on A2ZS Notebook.
[07:12] <Ozymandias2> not that that would be good info for ont he downloads page or anything
[07:12] <crimsun> usser: universe and multiverse ones, yes.
[07:12] <ss_> does any1 know how rum matlab on ubuntu?
[07:12] <usser> crimsun: so what is on dvd
[07:12] <darklard> crimsun I have NO sound whatsoever I've tried everything the bot had told me... i think
[07:13] <ss_> dark: did u try alsa?
[07:13] <usser> crimsun: only canonical supported software
[07:13] <Talaman72> joe: when you downloaded the tar.gz file did it give you and option to open it with something?
[07:13] <crimsun> darklard: right, you need alsa-{kernel,driver} hg.  That's the procedure that badmacktuck just followed.
[07:13] <crimsun> badmacktuck: do you have time to walk darklard through the procedure that I just walked you through?
[07:13] <HiddenHax> anyone know why tremulous crashes? all I know is that the screen flickers a LOT
[07:14] <usser> crap.. ok can i make like a partial mirror of universe repository and burn it to dvd?
[07:14] <badmacktuck> crimsun, i could but i dont have the steps anymore
[07:14] <crimsun> usser: I think you'll want to check out the aptoncd project.
[07:14] <badmacktuck> crimsun, i thought the commands would be in the terminal history, but they arent =(
[07:14] <usser> crimsun: allright thank you

[07:15] <crimsun> darklard: Please install 'build-essential', 'autoconf', 'automake1.7', 'mercurial', and 'libtool'.  Then read the instructions at the bottom of the Download page linked from http://www.alsa-project.org
[07:15] <mkquist> darlard - sorry last post for u
[07:15] <keypad> Can any one who has a tv capture card help me out before I reformat again... ?
[07:15] <mkquist> darklard - sorry twice but have u looked here - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449
[07:15] <Talaman72> joedaddymac: archiver = archive manager
[07:16] <DanaG> Another odd thing: once snd-hda-intel loads, pcspkr is nonfunctional.
[07:16] <marcus_murky> hi folks.
[07:16] <joedaddymac> thanxz for the help. I have installed it using synaptic
[07:16] <darklard> mkquist i don't think that one but i have looked at all the other bot urls
[07:16] <mkquist> darklard - got ur name wrong twice... lol  but that page always helps me w/sound problems
[07:16] <DanaG> I guess you could call that a good thing, compared to Dell's issue: on Dell, headphones don't mute speakers.
[07:16] <crimsun> DanaG: err, on which Dells?
[07:17] <crimsun> (they all use different codec/s revisions)
[07:17] <mkquist> darklard - its very detailed and comprehensive
[07:17] <darklard> crimsun did you notice I had something wrong/missing in http://pastebin.ca/497994 or are you just guessing this is my problem?
[07:17] <crimsun> darklard: no, I know your problem.  I fixed it already.
[07:17] <darklard> mkquist I'll check it out thx ^-^
[07:17] <DanaG> I don't remember the specific model.  Inspiron, Intel graphics, default Broadcom wireless, and 14 or 15 inch.
[07:17] <mkquist> darklard - g/l
[07:17] <r4nge> what format are disk quotas in in quota?  like if i put in "50000" as a soft limit, how many megabytes is that
[07:18] <crimsun> darklard: to get the fixes, you need to follow the instructions for compiling alsa-{kernel,driver} hg.
[07:18] <DanaG> And that issue HAS been fixed in ALSA, but the real issue is the fact that Dell designed it oddly.
[07:18] <joedaddymac> bye to all here in the ubuntu! great effort to help guys! its always very much appreciated! : )
[07:18] <marcus_murky> anyone able to help with an IDE showing up as SD problem?
[07:19] <cafuego> DanaG: badly, you mean. cheaply. dell-like.
[07:19] <crimsun> marcus_murky: SD?  meaning SCSI (/dev/sd*)?
[07:19] <darklard> crimsun okay btw do you know why i have this problem? not compatible out of box on install?
[07:20] <crimsun> marcus_murky: If so, that's intentional and part of the libata transition.  Why, is there a problem with your controller under libata?
[07:20] <marcus_murky> Crimson: I have an NTFS Winx XP install on IDE disk, used to show up fine as a "Media" drive. I've installed somethign by mistake (I/m n00b), now the disk shows up as sda.
[07:20] <Archon> Hi everyone. I need help setting up my bcm43xx driver for wireless.
[07:20] <crimsun> darklard: the simple reason is that there is far too much hardware that has special-case design.  We weren't able to fix it for 7.04, because it's extremely new hardware.
[07:21] <crimsun> marcus_murky: you likely have SATA hardware.  That's not a mistake.
[07:21] <ss_> Anyone experienced with XawTV?
[07:21] <darklard> badmacktuck what was wrong with your stuff? are you running a toshiba laptop by chance?
[07:22] <marcus_murky> Crimsun, thanks - in that case, I USED to be able to browse the XP files, but now I can;t, and I am too new to linux to diagnose what I have done to change it.
[07:22] <darklard> crimsun ooooh good to know -_^

[07:25] <keypad> livingtv_: play tv pro
[07:25] <Rctmcl> do you need to mess with modelines or anything in xorg.conf if you want to connect a 40" lcd hdtv?
[07:25] <livingtm_> keypad, not familiar with that one, sorry
[07:25] <keypad> livingtm_ the guide told me to do rm bttv and rm bt878 how do I reinstall those ?
[07:26] <Archon> Hi everyone. I need help with my "Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g]  802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)" wireless card.
[07:26] <Archon> Can someone help me get it working?
[07:26] <livingtm_> keypad, ooh, thats a frame grabber card. I had one of those and gave up on it for one with an mpeg encoder built in.
[07:26] <keypad> livingtm_ it worked yesterday but now it cant detect it. Is there a command that will reinstall / detect drivers ?
[07:27] <skinnypuppy1334> What would be more responsive? MB with two 2400 athlons pc2100 ram , or a dual core type processor with higher clock speed??
[07:27] <livingtm_> keypad, i belive you'll have to re install manually... download, compile, etc
[07:27] <marcus_murky> Can anyone help me find out why I can no longer browse my XP disk?
[07:27] <melchior> skinnypuppy1334, both are fast enough
[07:28] <cafuego> skinnypuppy1334: a current dual core cpu would be faster then an athon 2400
[07:28] <cafuego> skinnypuppy1334: ..or two :-)
[07:28] <keypad> livingtm_: but it was detected when I first put it in. and I got it working but then I restarted and it couldent detect it.
[07:28] <cafuego> skinnypuppy1334: in fact, my single core Athlon64 3000+ is way afster then my 2400+ ever was
 FAT or NTFS ?
[07:28] <skinnypuppy1334> what speed is the ram on those dual core machines?
[07:29] <DanaG> DDR2-667, often.
[07:29] <cafuego> skinnypuppy1334: Starts at 400MHz low end, going to 833MHz now i think
[07:29] <livingtm_> keypad, Sounds like maybe you modprobed the kernel module, and it didnt reload when you rebooted
[07:29] <skinnypuppy1334> is the fsb also at that speed?
[07:29] <marcus_murky> zeng - NTFS. I used to be able to read it (but not rwrite), but now I can;t seem to mount the disk.
[07:29] <livingtm_> keypad, do a "lsmod |grep bttv" and see if the module is listed
[07:29] <cafuego> skinnypuppy1334: Intel c2d tends to be 667 mhz (but they have FSB issues, which AMD does not have)
[07:29] <keypad> livingtm_: I did do some mob probing.
[07:30] <cafuego> skinnypuppy1334: AMD has no fsb
[07:30] <melchior> almost everything you'd buy new is fast enough for ubuntu
[07:30] <godtvisken> Does anyone know how I can record video from my webcam?
 check your /etc/fstab
[07:30] <Pokit> Question: How can i change my resolution when using fglrx? I tried adding entries under "modes" but it wont show up
[07:30] <keypad> livingtm_: "lsmod |grep bttv" does nothing
 and try installing ntfs-3g or something
[07:30] <livingtm_> keypad, that indicats that the bttv module isnt loaded. youll need to modprobe it again
[07:31] <DanaG> Just avoid Celery.  er, on.
[07:31] <livingtm_> keypad, but modprobe is for testing a module. if you want the module to load on boot youll hve to add it to /etc/modules.
[07:31] <keypad> livingtm_: WARNING: Error inserting i2c_core (/lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/kernel/drivers/i2c/i2c-core.ko): Operation not permitted
[07:31] <marcus_murky> thanks zheng. I'll have a look, see what I can do.
[07:31] <livingtm_> keypad, did you sudo?
[07:32] <keypad> livingtm : no, but I just just sudo and I get - WARNING: Error inserting i2c_core (/lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/kernel/drivers/i2c/i2c-core.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
[07:33] <Pokit> Question: How can i change my resolution when using fglrx? I tried adding entries under "modes" but it wont show up.
[07:33] <Pokit> in xorg.conf
[07:33] <livingtm_> keypad, "sudo modprobe bttv", right? If it fails, it may be that you compiled the driver against a kernel other than the one thats running now
[07:33] <wir3> has anyone  install or setup kiba-dock
[07:34] <zengkhol> Pokit, try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:34] <keypad> livingtm_: I dont know if this helps but theres bttv in /etc/modules
[07:34] <livingtm_> keypad, or that something is just plain wrong with your bttv module (or one of its dependencies)
[07:34] <wir3>  waves at Pokit
[07:34] <marcus_murky> Zheng - I can see in File Browser the actual device (under Audio Disk, File System etc). But when I bl click it, says I lack the provs to mount it. And I don;t knwo what I did to change the privs, as it worked before.
[07:34] <livingtm_> keypad, sounds like it tried to load on boot but failed just as it did when you loaded it manually
[07:34] <darklard> crimsun so i'm just only doing hg clone http://ht-blahblahblah ?
[07:34] <keypad> so how do I fix it ?
[07:35] <livingtm_> keypad, i would go back to the bttv instructions and start over from compiling the bttv modules
[07:35] <wir3> Does anyone have Kiba-dock
[07:35] <DanaG> What property of physics gives me AM radio from a half-hanging-out headphone connector?
[07:35] <keypad> livingtm_: if I remove every thing I did will it be back to normal ?
[07:35] <crimsun> darklard: now, run this command (just copy & paste): hg clone http://hg.alsa-project.org/alsa-kernel alsa-kernel && hg clone http://hg.alsa-project.org/alsa-driver alsa-driver
[07:35] <keypad> livingtm_: I had to do this get get colour on my tv capture card.
[07:35] <zengkhol> ok marcus_murky, check /etc/fstab and make sure it has /dev/sda1  /media/hda1 ntfs defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 1 (example of mine)
[07:36] <livingtm_> keypad, I wouldnt remove anything. just go back to the instructions where it tells you to compile and install the drivers...
[07:36] <keypad> livingtm_: I didn't have to compile any thing though?
[07:36] <darklard> crimsun yeah it's been chewin on it for a bit but this is it? i only ask because when you said read instructions i figured there would be pages of them lol
[07:36] <crimsun> darklard: there are further instructions beyond the ones I've given you, yes.
[07:37] <zengkhol> marcus_murky, firsr check with fdisk -l to find out where your win xp partition
[07:37] <darklard> hg clone http://hg-mirror.alsa-project.org/alsa-driver alsa-driver  --- is the only thing the bottom of the download page seems to tell me unless I want a full list or the rsync...
[07:37] <livingtm_> keypad, im not sure where you go tyour bttv module from, but whoever compiled it needed to have the exact same kernel as you are currently running
[07:38] <Frogzoo> DanaG: I'd imagine there's a resonance of your headphone with the AM station's carrier
[07:38] <crimsun> darklard: no, follow the directions I've given you.
[07:38] <DanaG> It only works when the connector is barely touching.  Perhaps that acts as a filter.
[07:38] <keypad> livingtm_ I think it comes with the linux kernal im using.
[07:38] <darklard> crimsun yes I installed all those packages then I just ran the code w/ url ...
[07:38] <zengkhol> marcus_murky> still stuck ? try ubuntuguide.org, there you can find various ways to mount windows partition
[07:39] <DanaG> Too bad I don't have a real use for a stereo microphone.
[07:39] <Frogzoo> DanaG: it's interesting - I'd never bothered to consider why this happens
[07:39] <livingtm_> keypad, did you need to download the driver to use the card initially?
[07:39] <keypad> livingtm_: No it just worked.
[07:39] <keypad> livingtm_: With out colour.
[07:39] <livingtm_> keypad, then what did you do to attempt to get colour
[07:40] <keypad> livingtm_: http://www.pcquest.com/content/linux/handson/101091501.asp
[07:40] <godtvisken> Does anyone know how I can record video from my webcam?
[07:40] <usser> so amd64 version works with intel emt64?
[07:40] <marcus_murky> zheng - have run fdisk -l, and there is lots stuff mentioned about my 20 gig disk (linux disk), but not a lot about my ntfs disk.
[07:41] <keypad> livingtm_: also something else I kinda mixed them both up
[07:41] <ubuntu> elo ludzie mam problem

[07:48] <haluzak> hi, i installed my nvidia drivers on kubuntu and after restarting my resolution is 640x480 and it can't be higher, please how can i change it?
[07:49] <darklard> crimsun so am I basically just re-compiling the kernel with new sound drivers?
[07:49] <keypad> livingtm_: Should I just reinstall ubuntu for the 3rd time ?
[07:49] <darklard> crimsun I just got many permission denied errors
[07:50] <livingtm_> keypad, no.... im looking into it... patience :-)
[07:50] <keypad> livingtm_: lol. ok :)
[07:51] <disinterested> i have this webcam and i cant find drivers to install it any suggestions?
[07:52] <darklard> crimsun the errors appear to only be linked to an attempt at deleting the alsa-driver/.tmp_versions/   files
[07:52] <linuxnooblah> ive seen some crazy linux themes with widgets etc where can i start to getting these eg, how to install what packages i need plzpzlpz halp
[07:52] <crimsun> darklard: make sure you're copying and pasting the commands I gave you.
[07:53] <brianski> howdy. does anyone know where i can find a list of keyboard shortcuts for the various things compiz can do?
[07:53] <brianski> i'm used to beryl, but i'm finding thru accidental keystrokes that there is more to compiz than just wobbly windows and the cube
[07:53] <Lilacor> brianski: probably on compiz's website?
[07:53] <keypad> livingtm_: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21651/
[07:53] <linuxnooblah> anyone? :S:S
[07:54] <nesteaplunge> Question: What does it mean when the MD5 checksums are different? I'm trying to install Linux on my Windows computer, and I'm trying to get everything right, as it is the only comp. I have.
[07:54] <livingtm_> keypad, "sudo modprobe bttv"
[07:54] <nesteaplunge> Ubuntu
[07:54] <nesteaplunge> mores specifically
[07:55] <nesteaplunge> obviously
[07:55] <livingtm_> keypad, need to have root priv's to insert a module
[07:55] <kermitus> so can anyone tell me if its worth installing a program in Ubuntu on a separate drive? (like in windows?)
[07:55] <brianski> Lilacor: you think ubuntu uses the same bindings as default compiz?
[07:55] <linuxnooblah> anyone know of something i can read to start using widgets and cool themes ??
[07:55] <keypad> livingtm_: ???
[07:56] <Lilacor> brianski: I'm not sure. I'm just guessing wildly.
[07:56] <keypad> livingtm_: oh
[07:57] <livingtm_> keypad, sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-`uname -r`       those are the tickmarks to the left of the 1 key
[07:57] <nesteaplunge> Question: I downloaded ubuntu, and after comparing it, the checksum does not compare correctly, does anybody have a reccomended mirror?
[07:57] <darklard> crimsun I was copying and pasting, is there a next instruction? and I've been doing the whole thing including && correct?
[07:57] <livingtm_> keypad, that should reinstall the kernel with its modules, hopefully bttv is in there too
[07:57] <linuxnooblah> nesteaplunge: i had same problem, i used the torrent and it worked
[07:58] <keypad> livingtm_: ok thanks doing that now
[07:58] <crimsun> darklard: yes.
[07:58] <livingtm_> keypad, that should get you back to where its in B/W at least :-)
[07:58] <michael__> has anyone gotten flash 9 and firefox working?
[07:58] <crimsun> darklard: please pastebin (http://pastebin.ca) the command and the errors.  All of them.
[07:58] <fahad> join #ubuntu-sa/
[07:58] <crimsun> michael__: what does "working" entail?  which cpu?
[07:58] <nesteaplunge> linuxnooblah: where is the torrent file?
[07:58] <keypad> livingtm_: Thats cool I know how to get it in colour for a bit :)
[07:59] <Shaddox> Hi everyone. I need to be able to set my CPU frequency to stay at 1000MHz and not go higher. How can I accomplish that?
[07:59] <linuxnooblah> nesteaplunge: 1 sec
[07:59] <michael__> crimsun, actually nevermind, a website says i have 9 installed and working, but the abc.com player says i dont
[07:59] <michael__> :(
[07:59] <fahad> join #ubuntu-sa/
[07:59] <livingtm_> keypad, once the install is done, try to modprobe your bttv module again
[07:59] <crimsun> michael__: are you using flashplugin-nonfree?
[07:59] <michael__> i think
[07:59] <crimsun> michael__: assuming you're not on ppc or amd64, of course
[07:59] <michael__> i downloaded the tar.gz
[07:59] <michael__> the flash 9 is workin
[07:59] <michael__> but the abc.com streamin isnt
[08:00] <linuxnooblah> nesteaplunge: http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.04/
[08:00] <keypad> livingtm_: ok im going to go afk for 15 min and it should be downloaded by then? will you still be here ?
[08:00] <livingtm_> keypad, Oh, probably. No sense in sleeping now :-)

[08:02] <usser> Shaddox: is it a desktop
[08:02] <Shaddox> oh, cpufreqd?
[08:02] <Shaddox> no, laptop
[08:02] <nesteaplunge> linuxnooblah: thx, did you just use the first one on the list?
[08:02] <DanaG> powersaved gets along with kpowersave a lot better.

[08:04] <DanaG> er, was originally.
[08:05] <Shaddox> ok, cpufreqd is installed
[08:05] <Shaddox> now how do i use it?
[08:06] <Shaddox> DanaG: cpufreqd installed, how do I use it?
[08:06] <Lilacor> I've installed nvidia-glx and the nvidia-kernel-source files but when I try to list the module with 'lsmod
[08:07] <nesteaplunge> linuxnooblah: Did you have problems with the mouse and keyboard drivers?
[08:07] <Lilacor> I've installed nvidia-glx and the nvidia-kernel-source files but when I try to list the module with 'lsmod | grep nvidia' I come up with nothing. what am I doing wrong?
[08:07] <wir3> anyone know the command to firefox?
[08:07] <darklard> crimsun find anything weird?
[08:07] <linuxnooblah> nesteaplunge: none thus far
[08:07] <AngryPunk> I'm having some problems with the touch pad on my laptop accidentally  pasting text when my wrists contact it when I'm typing.  Is there a way to disable the paste function of the touch pad?

[08:09] <AngryPunk> Frogzoo: Thank you
[08:10] <linuxnooblah> how do i make like a guest account in ubuntu so my families windows based machines and connect to my shares
[08:10] <nesteaplunge> linuxnooblah: I have MS stuff, I should be fine. Did you recently switch from windows?
[08:10] <DanaG> Oh, for cpufreqd,
[08:10] <linuxnooblah> nesteaplunge: i dual boot xp pro and ubuntnu 7.04
[08:10] <Khellendros|> I need a 64 bit flavor of Linux that can boot off a 1GB thumb drive, any suggestions as to how I'm supposed to do this?
[08:10] <DanaG> go dig around in /etc/cpufreqd.conf
[08:10] <Frogzoo> have they turned off submissions to the bot?
[08:10] <linuxnooblah> 64bit off of thumb drive wtf?
[08:11] <DanaG> I rename "On Demand {High,Low}" to "Ondemand {High,Low}" for consistency.
[08:11] <darklard> crimsun.... hmmm terminal doesn't look that far up... but it's possible cause the first time i pasted it it didn't work (because i had text in command line from something else that hadn't been entered) so i thought i did not have permission and ran it sudo... not sure if it was that one or another command u gave me... but that did happen once
[08:11] <Khellendros|> linuxnooblah: yes.
[08:11] <linuxnooblah> what u need it for
[08:11] <crimsun> darklard: yeah, that's why.  Those are because you're attempting to compile as an unprivileged user, but root owns those directories.
[08:11] <linuxnooblah> and as far as i know ubuntu 7.04 will work
[08:11] <Frogzoo> how to submit factoids to the bot? it used to be /msg ubotu factoid is blah blah blah
[08:11] <Khellendros|> linuxnooblah: I'm going to run the latest 64 bit version of Blender on it.
[08:11] <usser> do ubuntu and kubuntu has the same universe and multiverse repos
[08:11] <crimsun> darklard: please rm -rf alsa-{driver,kernel} , then redo the hg clone [..]  commands, etc.
[08:12] <nesteaplunge> linuxnooblah: oh, is it difficult to partition a drive? I'm kind of scared of doing it since I only have one computer.
[08:12] <jleung> Hello everyone
[08:12] <linuxnooblah> nesteaplunge: if youve never done it before it can be :S
[08:12] <Khellendros|> Well, how do I get it on the thumb drive? Do I download a Live CD, and then install it onto the flash drive from there, or what?
[08:12] <darklard> crimsun perm denied should i run that sudo... ?
[08:12] <linuxnooblah> nesteaplunge: i suggest watching a google video by alan pope called dual boot
[08:12] <Ali_ix> Frogzoo: yes, but some operator must accept submitted factoid
[08:13] <crimsun> darklard: yes.
[08:13] <linuxnooblah> khellendros|: i think so yes, i looked into doing it on my 2gb thumbdrive
[08:13] <linuxnooblah> khellendros|: a quick google should help u out
[08:13] <Khellendros|> k, is there a Live CD for ubuntu 7.0-?
[08:14] <linuxnooblah> yes
[08:14] <linuxnooblah> http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.04/
[08:14] <Khellendros|> Ah, thanks.
[08:14] <cafuego> Khellendros|: the instaler is the livecd.
[08:14] <nesteaplunge> linuxnooblah: K, I'll check it out.
[08:14] <Khellendros|> got it
[08:14] <linuxnooblah> nesteaplunge: gl :D
[08:15] <darklard> crimsun do i need to delete alsa-kernel directory says already exists
[08:15] <Frogzoo> Khellendros|: I assume the feisty cd runs as a live cd also ie no separate live cd required
[08:17] <crimsun> darklard: yes, both alsa-kernel and alsa-driver.
[08:17] <darklard> crimsun okay
[08:17] <crimsun> darklard: then check them out as your /normal/ user not using sudo.
[08:18] <linuxnooblah> anyone recently installed nvidia drivers mind hepling me :D
[08:19] <linuxnooblah> anyone :S
[08:19] <keypad> livingtm_: do I need to restart  ?
[08:20] <livingtm> keypad,  you need to get that module loaded by either: A) Modprobing, or B) rebooting
[08:21] <livingtm> keypad, If your a good little Linux user, you modprobe ;-)
[08:22] <darklard> LOL@concept10
[08:22] <regjava> I get the max resolution as 800*600
[08:22] <regjava> but in windows i can go upto 1024*768
[08:22] <regjava> what should i do to correct it?
[08:23] <Shaddox> Hi everyone. I need to scale my CPU frequency to about half of it's maximum, and I can't change it in the BIOS. Can someone help me scale it?
[08:23] <livingtm> regjava, edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the default resolution to 1024x768
[08:23] <cafuego> Shaddox: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-applets, 'Yes', add the cpu freq scaling applet.
[08:24] <DanaG> Shaddox: Is it a mobile, or a desktop?
[08:24] <yomm> Hi ! I'd like to install a lamp server on my edgy box , is there a metapackage for apache , mysql ..etc , or do I need to cherrypick in the apt repos ?
[08:24] <FFForever> how can i make my own deb from a downloaded tar.gz source tar?
[08:24] <darklard> crimsun It has finished what next *_*
[08:24] <Shaddox> cafuego: I did that, and it says it's unsupported.
[08:24] <DanaG> Oh yeah, cpufreqd itself may be unnecessary -- laptop-mode may actually already do some of the stuff.
[08:24] <Shaddox> DanaG: It's a laptop.
[08:24] <crimsun> darklard: even the `sudo make install-modules'?
[08:24] <DanaG> What CPU?
[08:25] <Shaddox> AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 2GHz
[08:25] <linuxnooblah> i used the restricted driver tool for my graphics card but i still cant change my res or refresh rate, what should i do?
[08:25] <Shaddox> I want to scale it to 1GHz cause the heat shield is damaged
[08:25] <keypad> livingtm_: Hmm, same error messages.
[08:25] <crimsun> darklard: if so, then reboot.
[08:25] <Shaddox> And I need to prevent overheats until I can replace the thermal grease
[08:25] <ep|k> hi
[08:25] <darklard> crimsun i guess i just copied verbatum...
[08:25] <livingtm> keypad, welp, try rebooting :-)
[08:25] <keypad> livingtm_: Its telling me to restart now.
[08:25] <keypad> livingtm_:  k brb
[08:26] <cafuego> Shaddox: very peculiar.
[08:26] <DanaG> Not supported? try modprobe-ing powernow-k8
[08:26] <ep|k> how change my ip to be like user@me.my.friend-dal.net?
[08:26] <darklard> crimsun so does && run command after previous is finished? and how is that different from ;    ?
[08:26] <cafuego> DanaG: powernowd should autoload that at startup
[08:26] <crdlb> && only runs the next command if the first one is successful
[08:26] <crimsun> darklard: ; is unconditional whereas && is conditional.
[08:26] <darklard> crimsun okay cool going to reboot BRB
[08:27] <Shaddox> DanaG: modprobe powernow-k8 returns nothing.
[08:27] <khamer> So, on a clean ubuntu install after a little mucking with window managers (though maybe the problem existed before), firefox seems hell-bent against certain types of web/javascript elements like the one on http://customize.org/fluxbox/themes/49134 for example
[08:27] <khamer> any ideas for why?
[08:27] <regjava> livingtm: i cant find default resolution in the conf file
[08:27] <tondar> hello to all
[08:28] <DanaG> Then it's already loaded.
[08:28] <DanaG> Try cpufreq-info
[08:28] <DanaG> Or look around in dmesg.
[08:29] <Shaddox> It's not installed, DanaG. Let me install.
[08:29] <livingtm> regjava, in the Section "Screen", you will find "Default Depth 24" or some number other than 24. Go to the "Subsection Display" matching that depth. the default resolution is the first one listed
[08:30] <regjava> first one is already 1024*768
[08:31] <livingtm> regjava, is 1024x768 the first one in each "subsection display"?
[08:31] <regjava> yes
[08:31] <livingtm> whats the "Device" name?
[08:31] <regjava> nvidia corporation c51PV
[08:32] <livingtm> regjava, are other resolutions listed as well?
[08:33] <regjava> yes
[08:33] <michael__> WTF
[08:33] <michael__> i start firefox
[08:33] <michael__> and after 20 seconds it closes
[08:33] <michael__> god damn it
[08:33] <cafuego> !ohmy | michael__
[08:33] <ubotu> michael__: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[08:33] <michael__> sorry
[08:34] <michael__> actualy its whenever i try to load a page
[08:34] <livingtm> regjava, Could try putting a # just to the right of "1024x768" on all lines, then save the file and press ctrl-alt-backspace to restart X11
[08:34] <cafuego> michael__: I think you've got a dodgy extension, then.
[08:34] <MacLinuxMaster> Hi friends, ,I'm havingig problems in kernels 2.6.12 ... 2.6.20 on Power Mac 6400 Zilog serial ports, I'm going crazy with this, how can I debug it ?
[08:35] <michael__> extension?
[08:35] <regjava> u mean this way "1024x768"#?
[08:35] <MacLinuxMaster> n2diy: Hi again

[08:36] <elektronisch>  okay, not sure if this is a question for this channel.  but say i have a system that does not have speakers hooked up to it.  is there a way to run a sound server that i can remotely access from a system that has speakers.  preferably one that can be accessed by windows.  but i'll even go as far as to install vmware to have this capability.
[08:36] <cafuego> elektronisch: Yes, esd can move sound to a remote location.
[08:37] <keypad> :'( that didn't fix it.
[08:37] <cafuego> elektronisch: Or more precisely, accept sound from remote locations.
[08:37] <variant> elektronisch: or vlc (videoLANclient ((also supports audio streaming)

[08:38] <elektronisch> mm, well i want it to work on most applications
[08:38] <cafuego> variant: I think he wants normal system sounds
[08:38] <variant> cafuego: how strange..
[08:38] <cafuego> elektronisch: esound (gnoem) or arts (kde)
[08:38] <elektronisch> like mplayer, muine, any sound that is played using ALSA on my ubuntu system i want to be able to remote access
[08:38] <variant> elektronisch: ah, you want the system beeps etc? thats odd
[08:38] <[andrewr] > hello
[08:38] <MacLinuxMaster> Someone here knows how to debug a serial port connection ?
[08:38] <cafuego> elektronisch: That's how nowmal thin clients setups do it, too
[08:38] <variant> elektronisch: ok, esd is the way to go thn
[08:39] <[andrewr] > I got ubuntu edgy to boot in windows using colinux.  I wrote up a guide at http://roth.textdriven.com/other/colinux/
[08:39] <elektronisch> okay thanks, ill look into esd
[08:39] <livingtm> keypad, well you have two choices... google for the bttv driver source and compile and install, or reinstall ubuntu again. If your ubuntu install is new anyhow, that might just be faster.. althoguh you "wont learn as much"
[08:39] <mrynit> is there a site the lists various hardware support with ubuntu? i'm looking for video card support mainly
[08:39] <cafuego> mrynit: dunno.. what card/chip?
[08:39] <elektronisch> cafuego, ill be able to access esd through windows?
[08:39] <mrynit> im looking to buy new stuff buy i want to make sure it will work relly good
[08:39] <cafuego> elektronisch: i doubt it... but through vmware it'll be fine
[08:40] <keypad> livingtm: when I installed the kernal again why did it say something about grub ?
[08:40] <mrynit> * new stuff to buy
[08:40] <misfitpierce> Everything will pretty much work
[08:40] <cafuego> mrynit: nvidia it is, then/
[08:40] <elektronisch> darn, okay guess ill have to do just that
[08:40] <elektronisch> thanks
[08:40] <livingtm> keypad, grub needs to know where the new kernel is in order to load it on boot
[08:40] <cafuego> mrynit: Evertything will work, but the ati drivers still suck.
[08:40] <misfitpierce> google ubuntu hardware compat issues to find components with issues
[08:40] <mrynit> yes but one modle ober the other?
[08:41] <keypad> livingtm: so theres no chance it kept the old one and booted the old one but added the new one on the list ?
[08:41] <misfitpierce> well look for beat hardware and google ubuntu compat with it
[08:41] <cafuego> mrynit: The absolute latest may have issues, the models just below it tend to be fine; thing is, the driver is *from* nvidia themselves... so they tend to be fine with support for new stuff.
[08:41] <livingtm> keypad, well you were really just re-installing the same kernel, but youcan verify with uname -r
[08:41] <keypad> livingtm: so theres no chance it kept the old one and booted the old one but added the new one on the list ?
[08:42] <keypad> livingtm: I mean http://tldp.org/HOWTO/BTTV/hw.html

[08:42] <variant> uBurntWho: yes
[08:42] <uBurntWho> k, ty
[08:42] <rikstah> nonZero, using postfix you can set a mail relay
[08:43] <elektronisch> cafuego, im looking at JACK and it seems like it might do the trick
[08:43] <darklard> crimsun.... no sound.... /cry *pulls it together* okay another suggestion?
[08:43] <nonZero> rikstah, thank you!  no shortcuts?  I must install postfix?
[08:43] <AshyIsMe> are the beryl packages broken for everyone else?
[08:43] <rikstah> nonZero, im sure there is probably another way...but i dont know any personally
[08:43] <crimsun> darklard: are you using model=laptop or model=laptop-eapd ?
[08:43] <regjava> livingtm: I am on windows now , I did put a # after 1024*768 but that now killed my xserver
[08:44] <regjava> I am unable to start it
[08:44] <darklard> crimsun uh... where can I check...
[08:44] <regjava> what should i do to reload the old config
[08:44] <[andrewr] > variant: how come?
[08:44] <variant> nonZero: you can use qmail too
[08:44] <variant> nonZero: might be easyer to set up
[08:44] <variant> or sendmail
[08:44] <rikstah> variant, all pretty much the same
[08:44] <variant> [andrewr] : i don't use windows
[08:44] <rikstah> postfix is the one that apt recomments
[08:44] <rikstah> recommends
[08:44] <[andrewr] > variant: ah :)
[08:45] <variant> rikstah: postfix is a pita to set up :)
[08:45] <variant> securly
[08:45] <livingtm> regjava, aparently your video card or driver really doesnt like 1024x768. you can edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and remove the comments
[08:45] <rikstah> it was easy here, followed a simple howto
[08:45] <crimsun> darklard: please pastebin your ``amixer''
[08:45] <rikstah> using mysql virtual users etc

[08:46] <livingtm> regjava, either reboot, or "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart"
[08:46] <crimsun> darklard: amixer set 'IEC958' mute
[08:46] <regjava> I did try reboot but it still failed
[08:46] <rikstah> Broccoly_, ngrep might do it

[08:50] <rikstah> nonZero, even better
[08:50] <variant> nonZero: ask your question properly and you might get an answer
[08:50] <darklard> nero678 what's the problem?
[08:50] <rikstah> nonZero, but that doesnt tell you how to relay to your isp
[08:50] <[andrewr] > variant: I've read about a network manager / system tray type icon that pops up something like windows does, but I can't seem to get that in my ubuntu.. and it is updated.. (because of colinux)
[08:51] <livingtm> keypad, well, you'd actually be better off using the module in the kernel package...
[08:51] <[andrewr] > variant: it's just not there, instead I did ndiswrapper stuff from the command line

[08:51] <rikstah> livingtm, no only new shuffle
[08:51] <Shaddox> wir3
[08:51] <Shaddox> wir3: I recommend trying Wine to install windows programs.
[08:51] <darklard> nero678
[08:51] <variant> [andrewr] : thats why, in the network preferences (in gnome administration menu) enable roaming mode for your wireless card and then network manager applet should be in the panel

[08:52] <nero678> whitebordes
[08:52] <wir3> yeah windows is exe
[08:52] <Shaddox> wir3: If there's a problem with wine, try Cedega. Cedega is non-free, but easily pirated, and is designed specifically for gaming.
[08:52] <variant> nonZero: ask your question ALL on ONE line
[08:52] <EliasAmaral> wir3, wine nameofprogram.exe, in terminal
[08:52] <keypad> livingtm: I think this is the command that killed rmmod bttv
[08:52] <nero678> how to i deactivate them

[08:53] <wir3> cedega is easily pirated?
[08:53] <darklard> hmm sorry i don't know anything about whitebordes....
[08:53] <[andrewr] > variant: enable roaming mode, eh.. I'll try it.  I do have kubuntu though, should still be there right?
[08:53] <wir3> eliasamaral: thanks
[08:53] <EliasAmaral> Shaddox, cedega doesn't need to be pirated. (but the easy gui works only if you pay or pirate it)
[08:53] <nonZero> rikstah, variant: in window$, you can just set up smtp=my.isp.server
[08:53] <variant> wir3: that is not an appropriate question for here
[08:53] <unda> any supperter here?

[08:53] <rikstah> nonZero, well this ain't windows....
[08:53] <Shaddox> EliasAmaral: I never knew there was a non-gui version, couldn't find much about it. I just pirated cedega and installed a local package. ^^

[08:54] <Magus--> I just installed Ubuntu and rEFIt on my Intel Mac Mini, but when I tell it to boot Ubuntu, I just get a blank screen (and my monitor powers down) - would this indicate a problem with grub?
[08:55] <unda> well i changed my login screen n now when login loads i stop in blackscreen
[08:55] <EliasAmaral> Shaddox, hm, yeah. the problem is: recommending pirated software isn't allowed on #ubuntu (well.. erm.. i think. should not be). and, the non-gui version is actually just an cvs snapshot, that is, anyone can grab the cvs tree, but the whole product costs money
[08:55] <wafflepox> broedj1, you there?
[08:55] <Shaddox> ah well i dont know much about that kind of thing
[08:56] <darklard> crimsun headphones didn't change anything...
[08:56] <unda> i had 2 reinstall
[08:56] <unda> im usin feisty

[08:57] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[08:57] <keypad> livingtm: if I can remove the module with rmmod bttv there should be a easy way to reinstall it.
[08:58] <DanaG> Oh, I tried cvscedega.  It didn't even reach the "try to compile" stage.
[08:58] <DanaG> er, WineCVS, it was.
[08:58] <livingtm> keypad, its part of the kernel-modules package
[08:58] <nesteaplunge> Magus: ty, that was my last question.
[08:58] <Winter> so i just installed ubuntu and am trying to install the latest nvidia drivers... however, whenever i try switching to console and out of X (ie, ctrl+alt+f1) the thing seems to lock up, although ctrl+alt+del still resets...
[08:58] <Winter> anyone know what that's all about?
[08:58] <crimsun> darklard: hmm.
[08:58] <keypad> livingtm: should I see if I can use the recovery ubuntu kernal option ?
[08:59] <MacLinuxMaster> ok, nobody here knows how to debug a serial line connection, right ?
[08:59] <unda> well i installed my nvidia drives via automatix
[08:59] <EliasAmaral> Shaddox, the cvs version of cedega is the lastest development version, but it's not guaranteed to work, :o
[08:59] <Frogzoo> MacLinuxMaster: does wireshark sniff serial lines?
[08:59] <esculapius666> I have problems
[09:00] <unda> cuz whenever i try 2 introduce password on terminal i cant type anything
[09:00] <esculapius666> yesterday
[09:00] <esculapius666> I began upgrading to feisty
[09:00] <unda> im using feisty
[09:00] <livingtm> keypad, you can try booting to that, then doing the reinstall of the kernel modules package again
[09:00] <DanaG> Another thing about cvscedega: Steam / Punkbuster may BAN.
[09:00] <unda> n trying 2 get edgy 2 test it
[09:00] <esculapius666> when I woke up I found my notebook shut down
[09:00] <DanaG> I haven't dared to try those games, for that reason.
[09:01] <esculapius666> when I started it
[09:01] <esculapius666> and I addressed to the latest kernel
[09:01] <esculapius666> It didn't work
[09:01] <esculapius666> neither with recovery mode
[09:01] <Stik> wtf... removing gaim wants to remove ubuntu-desktop? I thought apt was past this craziness by now :|
[09:01] <nafis_devlpr> does anyone knows how to add a program at ubuntu startup??
[09:02] <darklard> crimsun you've been very helpful, thanks... any other thoughts on this?....
[09:02] <crdlb> !ubuntu-desktop | Stik
[09:02] <ubotu> Stik: k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading.
[09:02] <esculapius666> after I tried a recovery mode of the previous kernel
[09:02] <nesteaplunge> Question: Will Ubuntu have any problems recognizing Comcast?
[09:02] <esculapius666> I entered the terminal
[09:02] <crimsun> darklard: sec, I need to log in to my git branches.
[09:02] <keypad> livingtm: whats the command to reinstall the kernel again ?
[09:02] <Stik> nice
[09:02] <Stik> Il pass
[09:02] <MacLinuxMaster> Frogzoo: I really don't know, I need to inspect the port, don't the packets
[09:02] <purpzey> nesteaplunge: It shouldn't be an issue with your ISP...Only your wifi card, and even that seems rare at this point
[09:02] <Broccoly_> crdlb: last time i tried removing ubuntu-desktop, my ubuntu desktop was uhhhhhh gone
[09:02] <Magus--> hurray! i reinstalled grub and all is well :D
[09:03] <Magus--> my mini server is one step closer to completion :D
[09:03] <darklard> crimsun okay... sounds uh... don't get caught in the tree....
[09:03] <esculapius666> finally I tried sudo apt-get update
[09:03] <crdlb> Broccoly_: did you use aptitude?
[09:03] <livingtm> keypad, sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-2.6.20-15-generic
[09:03] <crdlb> aptitude is kind of crazy
[09:03] <crimsun> darklard: right, so you have a Toshiba P100?
[09:03] <Broccoly_> crdlb: yes i did, gnome was gone
[09:03] <darklard> yes... i think it's p100...
[09:03] <Pokit> Ubuntu forces me to open everything as read only unless i use "sudo" from the terminal. how do i fix this
[09:03] <crdlb> use apt-get next time
[09:03] <darklard> yes... i think it's p100... crimson -repost
[09:03] <esculapius666> and it told me of executing dpkg -- something I don't remember
[09:03] <esculapius666> I did
[09:03] <crdlb> or watch what aptitude is doing
[09:03] <purpzey> Pokit: Shouldn't be everything...Just system documents and scripts
[09:04] <esculapius666> It took a long time
[09:04] <esculapius666> and actually
[09:04] <Pokit> everything.  I open a mp3 on my other hard drive, and I can't change the ID3 tag info because of read only
[09:04] <esculapius666> I'm not sure that everything is ok
[09:04] <darklard> crimsun it's a P105 series
[09:04] <regjava> How do i reconfigure my xsystem in ubuntu from the command line?
[09:04] <nesteaplunge> Purpzey: I don't have wifi, just an ethernet port, is there any settings I should write down, I mean, how is it connecting to the internet after an install.
[09:05] <crimsun> darklard: please rerun the alsa-info.sh script.
[09:05] <livingtm> regjava, "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[09:05] <crimsun> darklard: I'll need to look at it tomorrow (later today), since I'm quite tired.
[09:05] <purpzey> nestea: Should be totally plug and play if your router is setup for Auto DHCP
[09:06] <Stik> So Im not sure I get it... if ubuntu-desktop is recommended to not be removed, why the hell is it tied to an app like gaim lol
[09:06] <regjava> is there any command line irc client for ubuntu?
[09:06] <nafis_devlpr> does anyone knows how to add a program at ubuntu startup??

[09:08] <MacLinuxMaster> This was a great way to inspect PowerPC market share
[09:08] <purpzey> nesteaplunge: I can speak for myself on this issue....I setup my desktop for a dual boot a few weeks ago and had absolutely NO problems...Literally, right out of the install Ubuntu worked...It took a few days for me to get familiar with things, and being able to install themes and learning how to install packages besides that I had no issues...
[09:08] <Winter> haluzak: have you edited xorg.conf to get the right resolutions?
[09:09] <purpzey> nesteaplunge: Last night I decided do to my laptop. I ran into a small problem with the touchpad settings...Took me a few hours to get it all sorted out, but now it is up and running very nicely.
[09:10] <moDumass> hey all, in suse i used to be able to log multiple users in at the same time, on the same machine, so i could essentially leave apps running as this user and then log in another user and start some apps there, is this possible with ubuntu?
[09:10] <crimsun> darklard: nothing suspicious.  Try: amixer set 'LineIn' mute && amixer set 'Ext Mic' mute && amixer set 'Int Mic' mute
[09:10] <Frogzoo> nesteaplunge: if you want a glass typewriter, the full office suite works out of the box - if you need to do more powerful things, you have to configure stuff & depending, it can take a while to get up to speed
[09:10] <moDumass> because whenever I try things go orribly pair shaped
[09:10] <haluzak> Winter: yes i have there normal resolutions i can paste you: "Modes		"1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" " but it is just 640x480..
[09:10] <Winter> open up a terminal and type xrandr -q
[09:10] <nesteaplunge> purpzey: Does setting up a dual partition cause performance loss?

[09:11] <Winter> it should give you a list of legal resolutions
[09:11] <crdlb> moDumass: if you lock the screen you should have a switch user button on the password prompt
[09:11] <Frogzoo> moDumass: quite -> switch user
[09:11] <Frogzoo> moDumass: quit -> switch user
[09:11] <crimsun> darklard: oh, sorry.
[09:11] <moDumass> ok, hmm, il give it another try
[09:11] <haluzak> Winter: heh yes it did...i have there only those low res...can it be i bad monitor setting?
[09:11] <purpzey> nesteaplunge: I actually set mine up on two separate HDs...I don't see why a partition would affect performance...but I am always hesitant to mess with the partition tables...9/10 it works fine...but, if it doesn't...
[09:11] <crimsun> darklard: amixer set 'LineIn' nocap && amixer set 'Ext Mic' mute && amixer set 'Int Mic' mute
[09:11] <Winter> huh, i dunno
[09:11] <Winter> that might be
[09:12] <nesteaplunge> pupzey: exactly, and this is my one computer
[09:12] <haluzak> Winter: hmm thx i'll try to set it :) ... ty
[09:12] <Winter> np
[09:12] <darklard> crimsun no sound...
[09:12] <moDumass> Frogzoo, will i have to recreate all settings, or will beryl work there also?
[09:13] <crimsun> darklard: are you using headphones or just the internal speaker?
[09:13] <darklard> crimsun I keep switching between both while it's playing since the first time u mentioned it...
[09:14] <purpzey> nesteaplunge: I was in the same predicament myself before I decided to clear off one harddrive...Best thing you could do, if you can is just to back up data...and then if the partition fails you can restore XP and not lose the important stuff...
[09:15] <avis> does the 64 bit of feisty have windows codec restrictions ?
[09:15] <Frogzoo> moDumass: don't think beryl should make a difference
[09:15] <Frogzoo> Winter: should xrandr -x   invert my screen ??
[09:16] <avis> what restrictions opposed to 32 bit feisty does the 64 bit flavor have ?
[09:16] <blackdiamond> someone of you had joined the ubuntu med project?
[09:16] <Frogzoo> avis: no flash
[09:16] <darklard> avis i'm not sure but many things don't work in 64bit  take for instance FLASH in your browser
[09:16] <Winter> Frogzoo: yes
[09:16] <avis> oh i see
[09:16] <avis> ok
[09:16] <darklard> avis or many drivers like the ones provided by nVidia ... don't remember all the other problems I had with 64bit
[09:17] <Frogzoo> xrandr -x errors out with "X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)" any ideas what's wrong ?
[09:17] <Winter> Frogzoo: nope! It does that for me, too
[09:17] <Winter> ubuntu is probably missing something
[09:18] <darklard> crimsun I keep switching between both while it's playing since the first time u mentioned it... (sorry i'm keepin' ya up)
[09:18] <crimsun> draconius: hmm.  The codec still marks them muted.  Can you completely power down your laptop, wait 3 minutes, then power it back up?
[09:18] <crimsun> draconius: I have the same codec, so we can debug a bit more.
[09:18] <Frogzoo> Winter: ah, there's a post that xorg.conf needs  Option          "RandRRotation"      "on"  - brb, fingers crossed
[09:18] <crimsun> draconius: sorry.
[09:19] <Winter> Frogzoo: ah hah
[09:19] <crimsun> darklard: those last two were for you
[09:19] <DanaG> Oh yeah, crimsun, have you ever tried the nonfree OSS audio drivers?
[09:19] <Winter> good catch
[09:19] <darklard> crimson OOh
[09:19] <DanaG> With them, I can set mic-in as output.
[09:19] <darklard> BRB then
[09:20] <DanaG> BUt they cause a Panic with the Cardbus Audigy.
[09:20] <crimsun> DanaG: I don't even look at other source because of potential license issues.
[09:20] <DanaG> I mean, don't look at the source, but do look at what they can do.
[09:20] <DanaG> Or is that still an issue?
[09:20] <crimsun> DanaG: no, I haven't used them in such a fashion.
[09:20] <DanaG> Their labels of "Green" and "Pink" certainly don't help.
[09:21] <okeR> hey anyone alive ?
[09:21] <crimsun> well, certain HDA codecs have autosense.
[09:21] <crimsun> HDA really is a major advancement over AC'97

[09:30] <crimsun> darklard: ok, I'll need to read the source for a bit.
[09:30] <murdock76> is anyone present familiar with mplayer?
[09:30] <darklard> crimsun http://pastebin.ca/498208 as it is now...
[09:31] <darklard> crimsun should I just head to bed and hope to catch you tomorrow or can you shoot me an e-mail?
[09:31] <tondar> hey all
[09:31] <tovella> murdock76: do you need help w mplayer?
[09:31] <tondar> how could I add album art to songs in banshee?
[09:31] <murdock76> yah
[09:31] <tovella> murdock76: describe.
[09:31] <murdock76> i can't open news on cnn.com and i heard mplayer works for linux in lieu of media player (windoze)
[09:31] <crimsun> darklard: please try tomorrow (later today)
[09:31] <Trickser> hi, yesterday i reported a problem after hibernation. I couldn't see my partitions after recovering, but then I used the utility testdisk and I could recover all the partitions except of the swap partitions. I had to recover the boot sector as well, using grub. Now I am monitoring my hard disk with smartmontools but it seems there are no problems in there. Is it possible that the hibernation could produce this?
[09:32] <murdock76> i try to install the package and it can't seem to.
[09:32] <MrC_> does anyone knows how to the change the splashscreen  ubuntustudio
[09:32] <MrC_> ?
[09:32] <tondar> how could I add album art to songs in banshee?
[09:32] <tovella> murdock76: let me do some checking.
[09:32] <MSTK> does anyone know if there's a way I can keep my SSH server running without full power usage?  such as when leaving the box on standby?
[09:32] <murdock76> there are some unmet dependencies, and yet when i try to load the dependancies, it tells me they are installed ><
[09:32] <crimsun> tondar: do you mean local art or online?
[09:32] <murdock76> ok
[09:32] <crimsun> tondar: did you enable the plugin?
[09:32] <tondar> crimsun: local
[09:33] <tondar> crimsun: hm, lemme check
[09:33] <darklard> crimsun I saw an error on my screen when booting tell me if it's related, just noticed it, it said...
[09:33] <tondar> crimsun: what is the name of the plugin?
[09:33] <crimsun> tondar: that's only relevant if you want album art retrieved over the 'net
[09:34] <tondar> crimsun: how about local art?
[09:34] <crimsun> tondar: are they named .folder.jpg ?
[09:34] <darklard> crimsun [   23.384909]  PCI: Failed to allocate mem resource #6:20000@d0000000 for 0000:01:00.0
[09:34] <tondar> crimsun: what they have to be named that way?
[09:34] <crimsun> tondar: e.g., ./Tori Amos - To Venus and Back/.folder.jpg
[09:35] <shadowc001> so no one knows how to fix the 7.04 800x600 bug?
[09:35] <tondar> crimsun: I have to make a folder for each song and name the art that?
[09:35] <crimsun> tondar: that's one way.
[09:35] <darklard> shadowc001 did you reconfigure your Xserver stuff?
[09:35] <shadowc001> yes
[09:35] <crimsun> tondar: it may also support dragging n' dropping; it has been some time since I used Banshee.
[09:35] <tovella> murdock76: just as i thought - i use mplayer, but not for cnn.com...
[09:35] <Karark|away> i have an ATI card but my glx module is nvidia?!  so i can't get 3D to work with my ATI card
[09:36] <murdock76> oh
[09:36] <tondar> crimsun: so I should manage all same album songs in a folder and put the correct image inside keeping the name convention??
[09:36] <crimsun> darklard: doesn't seem relevant.
[09:36] <Karark|away> any tips on how to remove the nvidia module?
[09:36] <darklard> shadowc001 are you running 64bit ? - that was my problem
[09:36] <shadowc001> darklard: i even got rid of the lower rez's in hopes of forcing it to 1600x1200
[09:36] <shadowc001> 32
[09:36] <crimsun> tondar: try drag n' drop first.
[09:36] <murdock76> well i'm just looking for something that will play media like WMV
[09:36] <purpzey> murdock76: You've got me curious now...I have mplayer installed aswell and mine isn't working on those sorts of sites either.
[09:36] <tondar> crimsun: drag drop art?
[09:36] <darklard> crimsun okay
[09:36] <crimsun> tondar: right.
[09:36] <crdlb> Karark|away: ati what?
[09:36] <tondar> crimsun: drag to where? on song?
[09:36] <Karark|away> crdlb, radeon 9600se
[09:36] <tovella> what worked for me was to install ubuntu-restricted-extras.
[09:36] <murdock76> damn.  the website said it can do WMV
[09:37] <yussef> any know about how large an ubuntu install is?
[09:37] <crdlb> Karark|away: did you install fglrx?
[09:37] <murdock76> can anything work on cnn.com?
[09:37] <shadowc001> i just tried the Option "UseEdidFreqs" "false" and it diddnt work
[09:37] <Karark|away> crdlb, yes
[09:37] <crdlb> you should use the free "ati" driver on that card
[09:37] <darklard> shadowc001 well... that was the only thing i had worth something... i had same problem but switching over to 32bit fixed it for me...
[09:37] <yussef> I'm wondering if I can install on a 1gb cf card
[09:37] <murdock76> and the other videos that always tell me "get windows media player"?
[09:37] <Karark|away> crdlb, ive been having a hell of a time getting 3D to work on this
[09:37] <DanaG> Isn't "radeon" better to use?
[09:37] <shadowc001> its on an older p4 so its only a 32 bit proc
[09:37] <crdlb> Karark|away: did you check to see if it was working out of the box?
[09:37] <crdlb> DanaG: no
[09:37] <crdlb> they're the same
[09:37] <keypad> can some one tell me whats in /etc/modules.conf by default
[09:37] <crdlb> ati is a wrapper
[09:37] <Karark|away> crdlb, what do you mean?
[09:37] <darklard> shadowc001 yeah... sorry i'm not much help -_-
[09:38] <Karark|away> crdlb, the card works with the 'ati' driver, im on that now
[09:38] <darklard> GoodNight all!!
[09:38] <crimsun> tondar: it uses cover.jpg.
[09:38] <darklard> crimsun when are you planning on being on next?
[09:38] <crimsun> tondar: see http://banshee-project.org/Guide/See
[09:38] <crdlb> Karark|away: ok: glxinfo|grep client
[09:38] <tovella> murdock76: if you install ubuntu-restricted-extras, it should get you on track to use the gstreamer-plugins.
[09:38] <Karark|away> crdlb, and i got it working with fglrx but fglrx was loading the nvidia glx module
[09:38] <murdock76> ooh :)
[09:38] <modumasser> hey all, a while ago i filled up my user space and couldnt log in because i had to delete some stuff, is there a way i can set it up so that that will not happen again
[09:38] <tondar> crimsun: thanks
[09:38] <murdock76> kpackage would grab that right?
[09:38] <purpzey> tovella: what is the command line to install those packages?
[09:38] <keypad> can some one go to /etc/modules.conf and tell me whats in there I just deleted mine :( :(
[09:38] <modumasser> not allow users to dload to non network drives possibly
[09:38] <crimsun> darklard: I'll be online for a bit longer, but I'm busy and heading to bed eventually.  Probably be online in 11 hrs.
[09:38] <shadowc001> its all good, i just figured other ppl had this problem
[09:39] <murdock76> apt-get probably purpzey, but i use kpackage cause it does the same.
[09:39] <tovella> purpzey: "sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras"
[09:39] <Karark|away> crdlb, i do not have glx working
[09:39] <darklard> okay i'll check back then crimsun I've gotta get some sleep, thanks for all your help!
[09:39] <DanaG> aah: ati  is  an  Xorg  wrapper  driver for ATI video cards.  It autodetects whether your hardware has a Radeon, Rage  128,  or  Mach64  or  earlier class  of  chipset,  and  loads  the  radeon(4), r128(4), or atimisc(4) driver as appropriate.
[09:39] <crdlb> Karark|away: come to #ubuntu-effects
[09:39] <DanaG> Oh, is there a way to have gnome-terminal trim line breaks on copy?
[09:39] <crdlb> it's quieter
[09:40] <purpzey> tovella: Do I need an x-server restart to see if they work properly?
[09:40] <yussef> any idea if ubuntu can install on a 1gb partition?
[09:40] <DanaG> Is there 3D with radeon on a 9800?
[09:40] <crimsun> yussef: not a complete Ubuntu install.
[09:40] <crdlb> DanaG: yes
[09:40] <tovella> murdock76: that way, the next time you try to play a multimedia format for which you do not have plugins installed, it will start a package manager, & show you some options to install some appropriate plugins.
[09:40] <keypad> can some one please browse to /etc/modules.conf and paste theirs ?
[09:40] <crimsun> yussef: you certainly can install a base (aka minimal or command line) system, though.
[09:40] <shadowc001> where is the xorg.conf on the install cd?
[09:41] <DanaG> man pages for radeon need updating, then:
[09:41] <DanaG> R350        Radeon 9800PRO/9800SE/9800, FireGL X2 (2D only)
[09:41] <murdock76> nice :)
[09:41] <tovella> purpzey: no x-server restart required.
[09:41] <murdock76> thanks tovella.
[09:41] <DanaG> or is that 2D-only on FireGL only?
[09:41] <yussef> crimsun: does the gui installer give me the option to have a minimal install?
[09:41] <tovella> murdock76: no problem.
[09:41] <crdlb> DanaG: it's basically new to feisty
[09:41] <crimsun> yussef: no; use the alternate installer.
[09:41] <murdock76> what is the command line again?
[09:41] <keypad> never mind....
[09:41] <yussef> crimsun: ah thanks
[09:42] <tovella> murdock76: "sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras"
[09:42] <murdock76> ok thx it's going now.
[09:42] <murdock76> i don't sudo, i sudo -s -H and go direct to root.
[09:43] <rikstah> or sudo su -
[09:44] <shadowc001> ok why in nvidia-settings is my model "@@@"?
[09:45] <shadowc001> and it says the resolution is "auto" and i cant change it
[09:45] <murdock76> tovella: ok it's in.  so now i just go to cnn, and try to play a video, and something will help me get the right plugins?
[09:45] <tovella> murdock76: exactly.
[09:46] <murdock76> tovella: ok testing now :)
[09:46] <purpzey> murdock76: I just did it. I found that it won't play embedded
[09:46] <shadowc001> i find it kinda hard to believe that im the only one with this problem...
[09:46] <purpzey> murdock76: But, if you right click, open in mplayer, mplayer looks for codecs, installs, and then you are good to go, you'd just have to view it that way...b/c I still can't get them to go embedded but they stream right into mplayer.
[09:47] <murdock76> i can't get mplayer though.
[09:47] <murdock76> my biggest problem.
[09:47] <murdock76> i gotta restart...brb.
[09:48] <MSTK> is there any way to keep my SSH server running while on Standby?
[09:48] <shadowc001> sigh, i hate broken stuff... guess ima have to go back to windows :D
[09:49] <ompaul> MSTK, wake on lan?
[09:50] <Bogaurd> i'm trying to use smartmontools on my drives... since i upgraded to feisty, all my drives are now called /dev/sdx, and smartctl says they dont support smart...
[09:51] <MSTK> ompaul - how would I set that up?
[09:52] <ompaul> MSTK, well as far as I know it is more to do with bios but lets research it
[09:52] <DanaG> oh, smartctl -d ata
[09:52] <[Neurotic] > Hi, I have VMWare installed, and it seems to run a series of services on bootup/login. How can I go about turning them off? I can't see them in the Session Manager / Service List.

[09:55] <phaethon> what's the package name for OpenAL libs and dev?
[09:55] <murdock76> i'm back.  no luck.

[09:55] <digital_k> i just edited my sources list , i am attempting to upgrade from feisty to gutsy. *fingers crossed*

[09:55] <Bogaurd> DanaG: sweet, thanks. will that work on SATA drives also? or not?
[09:55] <Parmenion> but is it wise to do so now?
[09:56] <digital_k> Parmenion:thanks
[09:56] <Parmenion> its barely been a month since feisty's been out
[09:56] <digital_k> I know but I am a fool for the latest and greatest.
[09:56] <digital_k> lol
[09:56] <murdock76> tovella: any other ideas?
[09:56] <tovella> murdock76: can you give the specific url?
[09:57] <MSTK> ompaul - WakeonLan seems to be what I'm looking for.  The instructions say to go to BIOS and turn on WoL...how would I access BIOS exactly?
[09:57] <murdock76> www.cnn.com
[09:57] <murdock76> then i just click on one of the videos.
[09:57] <Parmenion> digital_k, what's so new in gutsy that your risking your install?
[09:57] <murdock76> and it directs me to get the media player
[09:57] <tovella> murdock76: i've looked at a few of them now.
[09:57] <murdock76> which i can't cause of course, no windows. :S
[09:57] <digital_k> well I just want to test drive it ya know, see where it is development wise.
[09:57] <DanaG> Oh, I tried Gutsy.
[09:57] <murdock76> there is something for WMV i think i need to get before it functions properly.
[09:58] <DanaG> Oh hey, FIRST, back up your system before Gutsy.
[09:58] <ompaul> MSTK, that is a machine by machine thing - as your machine boots it will say "F2 for setup" or some such - you will have to work that one out for yourself
[09:58] <MSTK> ah, thanks
[09:58] <DanaG> or you may regret it later on.
[09:58] <digital_k> DanaG: thats a done deal ! ;)
[09:58] <MSTK> wait, apparently WoL only works on computers from the same network
[09:58] <[Neurotic] > Is there a way to see what startup scripts run, that don't show up on the Services list, or the Session startup list?
[09:58] <Parmenion> I dont think id want to risk my current system right now :P much too in love with it :P
[09:58] <ompaul> digital_k, go to #ubuntu+1 and see what they say is broken today
[09:58] <MSTK> is there any way to simply leave SSH on during a Standby? (to save power)
[09:58] <Parmenion> DanaG, whats so new about gutsy ?
[09:59] <xcs> hello ppl !!
[09:59] <ompaul> MSTK, the machine will have to wake and then it should restore services including ssh server
[09:59] <digital_k> ompaul: thanks, will keep that in mind for later
[09:59] <ompaul> digital_k, heh you should keep it in mind now :)
[09:59] <digital_k> lol
[09:59] <tovella> murdock76: did you get a window with a couple of buttons to choose from (one of which may have said 'play anyway'?).
[09:59] <deepbluegene> hi. i recently updated ubuntu 6.10 by using automatic update feature.but now i m unable to login. when i enter username and password i can see gnome starting but instead of logging it take me back to login screen.i then tried to login in failsafe mode but same thing happened agaian but this time i was able to read a message(partialy)"i have detected another...now  i am unable to login.what...
[09:59] <deepbluegene> ...should i do
[09:59] <MSTK> ompaul - but WoL will only work from computers on the same network, if I read correctly.
[09:59] <DanaG> New versions of things, mostly.
[10:00] <murdock76> no
[10:00] <murdock76> not at all
[10:00] <ompaul> MSTK, so when you ssh into your lan it will come from a router, and this perhaps is enough
[10:00] <Gerro> deepbluegene: remember that warning it gave about having to know what you are doing and reading the forum... should have listened. Most likely try reinstall with latest version, might want to backup your files.
[10:00] <tovella> i got something like that the first time, but never since.
[10:00] <MSTK> okay, I'll try that
[10:01] <nesteaplunge> Question: Any suggestions as to why my ubuntu disc is not installing? I'm trying to switch from windows, I've gotten all my questions answered, checked the checksum, the disc is ok, optical drive boots first, but now when I try to install, I just get this long cmd prompt looking thing. Any help???
[10:01] <xcs> guys I have a question : how do I automaticaly open my PPPoE conection at boot ? and how do I keep it online (it disconects at a time) :(
[10:01] <Parmenion> nesteaplunge, does the thing actually stall?
[10:01] <Gerro> nesteaplunge: are you at the live cd mode?
[10:01] <Parmenion> if not, just give it awhile to load, and it depends wheter your doing an alternate or desktop cd install
[10:02] <digital_k> nesteaplunge: have you just waited to let it do its thing?
[10:02] <digital_k> sometimes it takes a bit to load
[10:02] <nesteaplunge> Parmenion: What do you mean?
[10:02] <digital_k> the alternate installer has a text based installer, nesteaplunge
[10:02] <digital_k> the live cd has a graphical interface
[10:03] <Parmenion> yep
[10:03] <tovella> murdock76: are you using firefox or konqueror?
[10:03] <nesteaplunge> Gerro: I'm not entirely sure, I click install, and a long list of commands appears. It goes for about 30 seconds and stays there. I waited 15 minutes, nothing. Twice
[10:04] <Parmenion> nesteaplunge, so you got into the live cd then?
[10:04] <Gerro> nesteaplunge: long list of commands? what are you trying to install exactly?
[10:04] <deepbluegene> Gerro:can i upgrade to ubuntu7.04 from ubuntu 6.10 without deleteing my previous installation
[10:04] <murdock76> i'm back.
[10:04] <tovella> murdock76: are you using firefox or konqueror?
[10:04] <Mishaal> i mounted the hard drives. but it says You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "ntfsdrive". how do i solve this problem ???
[10:04] <murdock76> i froze up.
[10:04] <Parmenion> deepbluegene, yes
[10:04] <nesteaplunge> Gerro:Ubuntu
[10:04] <murdock76> firefox
[10:04] <xcs> Mishaal : use the ntfs 3g
[10:05] <murdock76> tovella: i'm using firefox.
[10:05] <deepbluegene> Parmenion: Thanx
[10:05] <Gerro> deepbluegene: most likely not, I don't why not because it should be soooo simple to implement but developers don't usually spend time on that
[10:05] <murdock76> i never tried konquerer
[10:05] <nesteaplunge> Perminion: I'm like 99% sure, yes
[10:05] <tovella> murdock76: lets see what plugins you have installed...   type "about:plugins" in your browser's address bar.
[10:05] <prethalayam> Azureus gives me failed to create parent directory error in ubuntu
[10:05] <digital_k> i must say the gutsy servers are pretty swift , I am already at 70% of download
[10:05] <digital_k> total of 400 mbs, give or take
[10:05] <prethalayam> How do i fix it
[10:06] <Mishaal> in terminal xcs ??
[10:06] <Gerro> nesteaplunge: ubuntu is not enough, for what processor, what flavor of ubuntu, and which version?
[10:06] <cox377> prethalayam: is it a rights issue on the folder?
[10:06] <prethalayam> yes
[10:06] <prethalayam> But i have started Azureus as root
[10:07] <shadowc001> ok there is obviously some other place that it is getting my resolution settings, any ideas on that?
[10:07] <nesteaplunge> Gerro: 7.0.4, celeron 2.93 ghz
[10:07] <tovella> murdock76: you should see Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0-b105, Shockwave Flash, Totem Web Browser Plugin 2.18.1, Windows Media Player Plug-in 10 (compatible; Totem), DivX Web Player, and QuickTime Plug-in 7.1.3
[10:07] <digital_k> azureus does not need to run as root.
[10:07] <murdock76> tovella: in firefox i check this right?
[10:07] <tovella> murdock76: exactly.
[10:08] <Gerro> nesteaplunge: nice processor but do you meet the minimal ram requirements for live cd install?
[10:08] <nesteaplunge> Gerro: 1 GB so I'm sure I do
[10:08] <pihus> What would be the best way to view MP4 videos?
[10:08] <prethalayam> I am always getting Failed to create parent directory error where ever i give the download location
[10:08] <Gerro> nesteaplunge: what are the "commands" it is listing called? can you give me a screenshot?
[10:08] <murdock76> tovella: VLC, shockwave, java, and totem.
[10:09] <shadowc001> if i delete my xorg.conf file it still has one somewhere and i can now select a lower resloution
[10:09] <nesteaplunge> Gerro: I'll try, give me a minute
[10:09] <shadowc001> where is this file?
[10:09] <murdock76> tovella: i wonder if i have to activate them in settings.
[10:09] <Gerro> shadowc001: perhaps the xorg.conf.backup? or its creating a default one
[10:09] <tovella> murdock76: i would start by purging mozilla-plugin-vlc.
[10:10] <Fri13> prethalayam: Have you already made that directory where you are trying to make download directory? And where are you trying to make it?
[10:10] <Gerro> shadowc001: maybe it doesn't use config file and tries to generate one
[10:10] <moDumass> hey all, um, the problem i have is if i swap users and swap back, i cant see anything, its a black screen and a cursor
[10:10] <shadowc001> it says "useing built in configuration"
[10:10] <shadowc001> "55 lines"
[10:10] <Gerro> moDumass: try ctrl alt f7
[10:10] <moDumass> even alt-ctrl-del or alt-ctrl-backspace does nothing
[10:10] <murdock76> tovella: shouldn't they be loading the WMV though?
[10:10] <moDumass> hmm, cool
[10:10] <moDumass> will give it a go
[10:10] <moDumass> thanks
[10:11] <Gerro> moDumass: that is option I use to switch from terminal to graphics mode without restarting
[10:11] <chdragonfly> i just installed ubunta, now it doesn't boot windows, can anyone help?
[10:11] <sHoOcK> $server
[10:11] <prethalayam> i can save the files only in my home directory
[10:11] <tovella> murdock76: im concerned that vlc may be trying to take over where totem-gstreamer can do it, just fine.
[10:11] <murdock76> oh ok.
[10:12] <murdock76> so how would i get rid of the vlc plugin?
[10:12] <Fri13> prethalayam: yes, default is you only save your files in your home directory. Security reasons...
[10:12] <prethalayam> ok
[10:12] <Fri13> + user control reasons.
[10:12] <shadowc001> so its built in, then why can i now go lower res?
[10:12] <tovella> murdock76: "aptitude purge mozilla-plugin-vlc".
[10:12] <erwin> palembang
[10:12] <prethalayam> but what if i start azurues as root, shud it not allow me to save in any location?
[10:12] <murdock76> ok
[10:12] <erwin> hai] 
[10:13] <erwin> halo
[10:13] <erwin> haiiiiiii
[10:13] <Fri13> prethalayam: But if you like to have downloads go to other directories (other harddrives or removable drives) you can allow there permissions, if those are non-system partitions...
[10:13] <Gerro> erwin: haaiiii
[10:14] <digital_k> alright guys my download is at 96 %, Im gonna go and let it do its thing....be back in a bit. :)
[10:14] <Fri13> prethalayam: if you start programm as root, it has full controll over your system. Then like if you start IRC programm as root and there is unknow exploit what someone use against you, it affects to whole system. If you run it as normal user, it only affects to your user count and everything where your user has permissions to write.
[10:14] <murdock76> tovella: purging now.
[10:15] <luca____> hello :)
[10:15] <chdragonfly> hi
[10:15] <murdock76> tovella: ok it's removed.
[10:16] <murdock76> tovella: still asking for media player.
[10:16] <tovella> murdock76: ok, so try another video stream from cnn.com
[10:16] <Fri13> prethalayam: And root on linux is sometimes called "allmighty" or "god" because what ever you do as root, system dont give you any alarm because it beleaves you know what you are doing. Thats why there isn't any warnings or limitations for doing things if it is possible.
[10:16] <murdock76> tovella: is there something i have to do in firefox menu to enable the plugin?
[10:17] <tovella> murdock76: i don't think so.
[10:17] <murdock76> tovella: wierd. :S
[10:17] <Frogzoo> murdock76: well a restart at least
[10:17] <Gerro> Fril3: it still shows debug output though
[10:18] <tovella> murdock76: no, a restart should not be required... this is not windows.
[10:18] <murdock76> the vlc plugin is out...i checked before attempting a stream.
[10:18] <Frogzoo> murdock76: then enter as url: "about:plugins" & should show it
[10:18] <murdock76> it only shows totem now.
[10:18] <Gerro> tovella: restart of firefox IS required
[10:18] <murdock76> i did that.
[10:18] <tovella> firefox, perhaps, not the PC.
[10:19] <tovella> murdock76: the others are still there, right (java, etc.)?
[10:19] <Gerro> tovella: and as for your windows box try spamming shutdown -a from run when it does that :P
[10:19] <bigmichi> good morning =) i need in the bash an array in an array?
[10:19] <jrod> howdy
[10:19] <Enselic_> How do I list what files are included in a package, e.g. bootchart?
[10:20] <nir_ai_> hi, how do I modify the nautilus "Open With" list manually (via a config file?)
[10:20] <jrod> does anyone know of a linux equivalent to alcohol 120?
[10:20] <Tuxfighter> hi all
[10:20] <murdock76> tovella: actually java isn't there...installing it now.
[10:20] <Gerro> nir_ai_: don't know, I use thunar myself
[10:20] <murdock76> tovella: i just noticed that it java isn't there at all. :S
[10:20] <ompaul> jrod, gnomebaker or k3b
[10:20] <tovella> Gerro: i don't do windows, anymore.
[10:20] <nesteaplunge> Gerro: no luck
[10:20] <Fri13> jrod: k3b
[10:20] <moDumass> hey there all, yeh alt-ctrl-f7 did nothing
[10:20] <bigmichi> how put i an array in an array on the bash? =(
[10:20] <Gerro> nir_ai_: if your on kubuntu think it uses konqueror
[10:21] <jrod> how do i mount an iso virtually with k3b?
[10:21] <moDumass> still blackscreen with cursor
[10:21] <murdock76> tovella: i'm updating it though.
[10:21] <Gerro> nesteaplunge: any screenshot though?
[10:21] <chdragonfly> i have blackscreen when i boot into windows T_T
[10:21] <revilodraw> hi! im running xp in vmware, and have winscp installed... i have installed ssh in ubuntu... how do i send files from ubuntu to xp and vice-versa
[10:21] <nesteaplunge> gerro: no, it didn't copy it
[10:21] <nir_ai_> Gerro, I am on ubuntu, and the "Open With" list got messed up. I need to fix it.
[10:21] <shadowc001> ok there has got to be a way to get rid of 800x600
[10:21] <tovella> murdock76: yeah at one point, you were installing ubuntu-restricted-extras, then you were rebooting.  perhaps something didn't quite finish.
[10:22] <nesteaplunge> gerro: i guess I'd have to use a camera, should have thought of that earlier
[10:22] <Fri13> jrod: and if you want to mount images to system, "man mount" on console helps and there -loop. And if you want mdf files to be converted to other formats, you can find it with that search name from package manager.
[10:22] <murdock76> tovella: hmmm...
[10:22] <Enselic_> bigmichi: bigjbcan't you just assing an array to an array?
[10:22] <Enselic_> ...
[10:22] <revilodraw> shadowc001; have u tried 'system', 'preferences' 'screen resolution'?
[10:22] <shadowc001> yes
[10:22] <Gerro> revilodraw: umm I ran into lot of problems with that think its like pscp user@ip \home\user\file\ C:\
[10:22] <jrod> i was really looking for a graphical way to mount iso's
[10:22] <shadowc001> yes
[10:23] <tovella> murdock76: i would reinstall ubuntu-restricted-extras...also, be sure to accept the DLJ license agreement for java.
[10:23] <revilodraw> gerro; thanks ill try it
[10:23] <murdock76> ok
[10:23] <ompaul> jrod, they mount automagically
[10:23] <Gerro> revilodraw: if doesn't work try pressing spacebar and sticking a period at end of command.. no clue why but had to use that for something
[10:23] <murdock76> java first?
[10:23] <jrod> lol
[10:23] <jrod> how do i mount them with k3b thou?
[10:23] <tovella> murdock76: ...java will be installed during the installation of ubuntu-restricted-extras.'
[10:23] <Fri13> revilodraw: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#SSH_Server
[10:23] <ompaul> you don't k3b is disk - > cd
[10:23] <revilodraw> fri13; thank you!!
[10:23] <shadowc001> my system will recognize that my monitor can do 1600x1200 but xorg will only show 800x600, i have deleted xorg.conf and it will let me go lower, but not higher
[10:24] <tovella> murdock76: you could use aptitude reinstall ubuntu-restricted.....
[10:24] <ompaul> jrod, this is an alternative not a replacement - little changes big benefits
[10:24] <Gerro> jrod: create a short perl script to spawn a window and grab input for mount command? like what sort of gui could you possibly make?
[10:24] <Fri13> revilodraw: you can use ftps to get graphical too...
[10:24] <ompaul> jrod, if your trying to dupe disks it is a click in the program
[10:24] <Lilacor> wow I feel much better now
[10:25] <Fri13> because SSH support FTPS
[10:25] <jrod> im not trying to dupe them
[10:25] <shadowc001> ah, i remember when i wanted graphical things like windows...
[10:25] <Gerro> Fril3: how could you use ftp securely though and in reverse not needing it installed on both?
[10:25] <Lilacor> shadowc001: what video card?
[10:25] <jrod> im looking for a way to have a virtual cdrom drive then execute files from the iso
[10:25] <shadowc001> 5700Ultra
[10:25] <jrod> like it was in a physical cdrom
[10:25] <Lilacor> jrod: mount the images using the loopback device
[10:25] <Fri13> shadowc001: what does your xorg.conf say about resolutions?
[10:25] <jrod> how do i do that?
[10:25] <Fri13> is there only 800x600 and not any higher?
[10:25] <ompaul> jrod, do you mean mount .iso on your drive then as Lilacor said
[10:25] <shadowc001> the odd thing is when i run nvidia-settings i only get "auto" as the resolution options and "@@@" is my display device
[10:26] <Lilacor> jrod: do a search under google and then you'll find the answer quickly
[10:26] <shadowc001> i have 1600x1200, 1280x1024, etc,etc
[10:26] <revilodraw> "Fri13: revilodraw: you can use ftps to get graphical too..." i dont really understand
[10:26] <Frogzoo> how to quote ' to the shell?
[10:26] <Gerro> Fril3: I think a better solution would be to setup ssh for localhost connections to be excluded from encryption, if that doesn't create an insecurity with ssh
[10:26] <shadowc001> my monitor is set right also
[10:26] <Lilacor> Frogzoo: I think you're looking for the escape sequence "\"
[10:26] <jrod> koo found a guide thnx
[10:26] <tovella> jrod: search for "mount -o loop" (in quotes).
[10:27] <ompaul> Frogzoo, \' or do you want in the middle of a line cd /home/`whoami`/some_constant
[10:27] <Fri13> revilodraw: you can connect to SSH server (like from gnome to windows XP) with FTP client what supports SSH (SFTP) (sorry SFTP and not FTPS) and just give there IP address and username and password.
[10:27] <Fri13> Then you can move easily files in graphic.
[10:27] <shadowc001> im so lost
[10:27] <shadowc001> i have done this before but i usually have to set my vert/horiz sync and it works
[10:27] <shadowc001> nothing is working now
[10:28] <Fri13> shadowc001: paste your xorg.conf to somekind pastebin system and give here address so others can help you.
[10:28] <Frogzoo> ompaul: I'm trying to get a ' to appear in an alias, and if you try echo '\'' you don't get ' - I'm missing something
[10:28] <jrod> thnx for the quik help fellas
[10:28] <Lilacor> oh crap
[10:28] <ompaul> jrod, this is a way for one type  mount /tmp/fdimage /mnt -o loop=/dev/loop
[10:28] <Fri13> shadowc001: http://rafb.net/paste
[10:29] <Gerro> revilodraw: just use ssh with localhost set to not use encryption and create a separate limited user account for use with it while disabling logins to root or your users you actually use. Then if windows gets compromised your linux box isn't and you don't need ftp on windows
[10:29] <variant> nice, gettin 2.3MB/s feisty download speed with bittorrent :)
[10:29] <murdock76> tovella: reinstalling.
[10:29] <ompaul> Frogzoo, don't know what your trying to do but this works for me - but I don't know what you are trying to do echo \'
[10:29] <murdock76> tovella: reinstalled.
[10:30] <tovella> murdock76: ok so check to see what plugins are registered... about:plugins.
[10:31] <Lilacor> is anyone using x64 vmware workstation?
[10:31] <jrod> ompaul: that worked great
[10:31] <anathematic> what program shoudl i use for music on my ubuntu? =)
[10:31] <jrod> amarok
[10:31] <shadowc001> http://www.geocities.com/mzxman2/xorg.txt
[10:31] <Lilacor> I only see one version of linux workstation.. no x86 vs. x64 :(
[10:31] <dv_> hm
[10:31] <shadowc001> thats what i have now
[10:32] <dv_> amarok is too complicated for me
[10:32] <murdock76> tovella: flash and totem.
[10:32] <shadowc001> i swear i have remade it like 5x
[10:32] <ompaul> jrod, as I said alternative so you may have to explain slightly differntly
[10:32] <dv_> I just want a stupid player that can handle a simple playlist
[10:32] <shadowc001> that is the latest desperation
[10:32] <Lilacor> shadowc001: you're using nvidia?
[10:32] <shadowc001> yes
[10:32] <dv_> one that can hold over 2000 songs
[10:32] <jrod> ompaul, i found a great guide
[10:32] <ompaul> dv_, we only have clever ones - xmms
[10:32] <Lilacor> shadowc001: have you used nvidia-settings?
[10:32] <blackjackel> I need quick help, I'm trying to install something via steam on my NTFS filesystem, and instead its installing it in the fake steam C drive...
[10:32] <dv_> xmms crashes
[10:32] <shadowc001> it says "auto" as the resolution
[10:32] <shadowc001> and "off" is grayed out
[10:32] <tovella> murdock76: did you get the box asking you to agree to the DLJ license for java?
[10:32] <murdock76> tovella: no.
[10:33] <dv_> audacious takes AGES to add .ogg files to the playlist
[10:33] <Lilacor> shadowc001: are you using the right driver?
[10:33] <tovella> murdock76: install it manually.
[10:33] <ompaul> dv_, not for me, strange that
[10:33] <shadowc001> the nvidia logo pops up
[10:33] <shadowc001> i did the "enable restriced drivers" install of it
[10:33] <_Xar_> Hi everyone, I have a pc that does not boot from CD rom and want to use ubuntu live. Is it possible to use a boot floppy?
[10:33] <zaggynl> Anyone has a clue on what this means? 'Zdravo tino, ovde je sve dobro. Ja mislim svaki dan na tebe, ja sam ti kupila rukavica 2oo komada. Puno te volim'
[10:33] <nir_ai_> where (in what file) does nautilus keep the "open with" settings?
[10:33] <anathematic> music player for ubuntuuuuuu :<
[10:33] <anathematic> ?
[10:34] <chdragonfly> if i uninstall ubuntu..will everything on windows be like before installation?
[10:34] <anathematic> or a codec pack for ubuntu so the current stuff works?
[10:34] <murdock76> all i can find is lousy bin files for the java. :S
[10:34] <Fri13> anathematic: you need musicplayer for gnome?
[10:34] <tovella> murdock76: aptitude install sun-java6-plugin
[10:34] <moDumass> hey all, cant swap users back without black screen
[10:34] <anathematic> Fri13: yesum
[10:34] <moDumass> any ideas? ive tried alt-ctrl-f7
[10:34] <Fri13> anathematic: try banshee
[10:35] <dv_> also, if xmms crashes,
[10:35] <anathematic> Fri13: thanks, does that come with mp3 codecs by the way? I've noticed gnome doesn't come with it so aeyh
[10:35] <dv_> the xmms.m3u playlist gets deleted
[10:35] <Fri13> moDumass: ctrl+alt+F7 is first graphical login and F8 is for second etc etc.
[10:35] <dv_> which is VERY BAD
[10:35] <moDumass> nothing fixes it, i could prb alt-ctrl-f1 and then alt-ctrl-del to restart x,
[10:35] <shadowc001> there has to be another config file in feisty that is blocking me
[10:35] <moDumass> Fril3 neither work after swapping back.
[10:36] <nir_ai_> anyone knows where (in what file) does nautilus keep the "open with" settings?
[10:36] <moDumass> Fri13 im using feisyfawn
[10:36] <Fri13> moDumass: if ctrl+alt+backspace dont work, it looks like your keyboard input has gone dead. Do you have 3D accelerate enable in Xorg?
[10:36] <Lilacor> shadowc001: did you run nvidia-glx-config enable
[10:36] <Lilacor> shadowc001: and nvidia-xserver ?
[10:36] <Lilacor> shadowc001: and nvidia-xconfig
[10:36] <murdock76> tovella: done.
[10:37] <dv_> oh man, rhythmbox refuses to simply play stuff, it wants to import it to its custom directory
[10:37] <tovella> murdock76: ok, so check again - about:plugins.
[10:37] <shadowc001> no, ill try that
[10:37] <shadowc001> i assumed something like that was auto done on the "enable restriced driver" thingy
[10:37] <cox377_> i'm trying to completely uninstall something? is the command sudo apt-get remove --purge <package name>
[10:38] <Fri13> anathematic: if you want get legal MP3 support, there is package there, just now i dont remember what it was. But if you dont live in USA or any other country what dont allow use exa: libdvdcss, then you can install win32codecs and libxine and you get all codecs to your system.
[10:38] <moDumass> Fri13 I do indeed
[10:38] <anathematic> Fri13:  okay thanks i'll google
[10:39] <Fri13> moDumass: ctrl+alt+del is for reboot system, ctrl+alt+backspace is for restarting X
[10:39] <moDumass> Fri13 but i do still have an active cursor
[10:39] <moDumass> Fri13 neither work when im at blackscreen though
[10:39] <murdock76> tovella: wierd.
[10:39] <murdock76> tovella: doesn't list the jre.
[10:39] <cox377_> how do i completely and utterly remove a package?
[10:40] <Fri13> moDumass: keyboard and mouse have somehow separeted I/O and if xorg.conf is configured badly keyboard can be lost, but if you move to other virtual consoles you can restart GDM from there (GDM is Gnome's login manager).
[10:40] <shadowc001> lilacor: nvidia-xserver?
[10:40] <ompaul> cox377_,  sudo apt-get remove --purge [packagename]   << then remove the stuff in your home dir most likely .packagename
[10:41] <cox377_> ompaul: nice one
[10:41] <Fri13> cox377_: from console type "sudo apt-get remove <package name>" (without quotes).
[10:41] <murdock76> tovella: wierdness.
[10:41] <tovella> murdock76: try this command "aptitude search sun-java6"... look for the first charicters (i, or p) for some indication as to the status of the package  - intalled, or not.
[10:42] <murdock76> ok
[10:42] <Lilacor> shadowc001: and nvidia-xconfig
[10:42] <Fri13> moDumass: If you change from user A to user B and back to user A it gets blank screen with workin mouse? Can you change back with ctrl+alt+F8 ?
[10:42] <graveson> is it possible to use gparted to format a disk using ntfs and is it recommended
[10:43] <murdock76> tovella: isn't finding it. :S
[10:43] <tovella> you are running feisty, right?
[10:43] <murdock76> no
[10:43] <murdock76> i'm running dapper.
[10:44] <blackjackel> I need help with installing a program on my NTFS partition using WINE.... its only installing it in the fake wine C drive that its made, I can't seem to get it installed on my NTFS drive...
[10:44] <murdock76> this all doesn't work for dapper does it? :S
[10:44] <tovella> murdock76: nope.
[10:44] <murdock76> ack
[10:44] <ompaul> !java | murdock76
[10:44] <ubotu> murdock76: 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
[10:44] <cox377_> ompaul: java version "1.4.2-02, that;s not the latest versiuon of java is it?
[10:44] <murdock76> shoulda mentioned...
[10:44] <ompaul> cox377_, no interest in java so no idea
[10:44] <nicholaspaul> when I try running irssi in terminal, I type '/connect irc.freenode.net' and it says 'nick erroneous nickname' after trying to connect - whats that about??
[10:44] <cox377_> ompaul: lol fair play
[10:44] <murdock76> i use dapper ubotu
[10:44] <shadowc001> lilacor: yeah, its all "working"
[10:45] <cox377_> anyone else
[10:45] <nich2chien> blackjackel: do you use ntfs-3g ?
[10:45] <shadowc001> i have 3d its just stuck at one rez
[10:45] <ompaul> cox377_, so ehh latest may not be the best idea security patched is much better
[10:45] <blackjackel> nich2chien: Yep
[10:45] <tovella> murdock76: why still with Dapper?
[10:45] <PrimoTurbo> Whats the command to allow xchat to minimize to system tray on close?
[10:45] <ompaul> tovella, it will be supported on the desktop beyond fiesty
[10:46] <murdock76> tovella: it's still supported.
[10:46] <nicholaspaul> anyone here familiar with irssi ?
[10:46] <murdock76> tovella: didn't find a need to go any further since i have a thinkpad x11 i'm running this on.
[10:46] <Ohzie> Hi. I can see the partitions on /dev/hda in fdisk, but I cannot mount them, or boot to my linux partition. I installed windows, and then linux, like I thought you were supposed to for dual-booting, so that you could boot to grub, and then grub could boot you to windows or linux, but instead when I installed linux it hosed windows completely. Now I'm back to working windows, and a windows MBR, but I can't get into linux. Now gparted tells 
[10:47] <blackjackel> Anyone know the game with the BEST graphix that runs natively on Linux?
[10:47] <murdock76> tovella: so i want java5 then.
[10:47] <shadowc001> quake 4 :D
[10:47] <RainCT> Hi, networking isn't working and if I restart samba it says start-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill 6145: No such process. What can that be?
[10:47] <nicholaspaul> my IRSSI is broked :(
[10:47] <tovella> murdock76: the desktop enhancements like easier installation of multimedia plugins are one of many that made me take the plunge.
[10:48] <tovella> murdock76: sure, go for java5
[10:48] <murdock76> tovella: ok.
[10:48] <moDumass> Fri13, no i cant, sorry about the delayed response, my gf is making me cook
[10:48] <murdock76> tovella: i wish mplayer would go in...then my probs will be over.
[10:48] <moDumass> but i can got to f1 - f4 i think
[10:49] <moDumass> Fri13, i cant go to alt-ctrl-f7 or f8, but i can to f1 - f4
[10:49] <chdragonfly> hi, i installed ubuntu, now when i restart and select boot into windows, it just shows a black screen. I
[10:49] <tovella> murdock76: i think mplayer will go "go in", but i don't think you problems would be over.
[10:49] <murdock76> oh
[10:49] <murdock76> damn
[10:49] <shadowc001> ok apparently its only the nvidia driver
[10:49] <murdock76> i can watch youtube ok.
[10:49] <shadowc001> nv works fine now
[10:50] <murdock76> if i get quicktime i might be able to watch news vids at yahoo instead of cnn.
[10:50] <tovella> murdock76: youtube uses flashplayer.
[10:50] <chdragonfly> anyone know whether if its fixable or am i just doomed?
[10:50] <blackjackel> shadowc001: I can't run quake4 with ATI?
[10:50] <shadowc001> blackjackel: im sorry :(
[10:51] <shadowc001> blackjackel: my friend does just fine, unless u were asking if u could, then yes
[10:51] <murdock76> if they all stuck with flash, we'd have less headaches. :S
[10:51] <Fri13> moDumass: then problem is in your X configuration on /etc/X11/xorg.conf. You have updated drivers?
[10:51] <tovella> murdock76: totem-gstreamer offers support for quicktime, too.
[10:51] <revilodraw> hi! im running xp in vmware, and have winscp installed... i have installed ssh in ubuntu... how do i send files from ubuntu to xp and vice-versa using winscp
[10:51] <murdock76> tovella: good news.  i just got the license agreement.
[10:51] <shadowc001> ok, BIG QUESTION, how do i get the nvidia website drivers to work from a fresh install of feisty
[10:52] <moDumass> as in new ones, um, id think so, no more than 2 months old
[10:52] <tovella> murdock76: lots of problems with flash - adobe doesn't want to play nice - closed source, so they won't let anyone else fix it.
[10:52] <graveson> is it possible to use gparted to format a disk using ntfs and is it recommended
[10:52] <Fri13> chdragonfly: you can fix it, first you need to find what is your windows partition, you can use there gparted partition software. If it's not installed then install it first by "sudo apt-get install gparted" on gnome-terminal. Then you need to check is /boot/grub/menu.lst correct. Ubuntuguide helps here.
[10:53] <moDumass> Fri13, is it possible to update drivers from within gui or do i have to go console
[10:53] <lun> good morning ;-)
[10:53] <moDumass> Fri13, i dont like breaking xorg.conf, which i am good at doing
[10:53] <jxxxt> blackjackel: try another native linux game tremulus
[10:54] <murdock76> tovella: what's my next move?
[10:54] <tovella> murdock76: check again - about:plugins
[10:54] <revilodraw> hi! im running xp in vmware, and have winscp installed... i have installed ssh in ubuntu... how do i send files from ubuntu to xp and vice-versa
[10:54] <murdock76> i did.  java is in there now. ;)
[10:54] <Fri13> moDumass: when updating nvidia drivers you need go to init3 level (non-graphical because Xorg cant be running) and install it from there.
[10:55] <Fri13> moDumass: you can always take backup from your xorg.conf file ;-)
[10:55] <murdock76> tovella: java is on the list.
[10:55] <Lilacor> revilodraw: vmware...player... workstation...server?
[10:55] <Fri13> like cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup1
[10:55] <revilodraw> lilacor: vmware player
[10:55] <moDumass> Fri13, how would i be able to tell which version of drivers im using?
[10:55] <tovella> ok, let me get some more stuff for you.
[10:55] <variant> Fri13: no you don't
[10:56] <variant> Fri13: use the restricted driver manager to install nvidia/ati drivers
[10:56] <pai> elo. help me pls re making my ubuntu laptop a dualboot with xp...
[10:57] <murdock76> ok
[10:57] <shadowc001> it says i need libc header files
[10:57] <Fri13> variant: drivers what nvidia offers are better ones, yes i know user can just use package manager but he need to use 3rd party drivers etc etc.
[10:57] <shadowc001> the restricted driver is broken
[10:57] <murdock76> tovella: is there any way to fix the dependencies to get mplayer installed?
[10:57] <Fri13> And still restart X and sometimes even reboot to get them work.
[10:58] <tovella> murdock76: not sure.
[10:58] <variant> Fri13: the third party drivers ARE the drivers available with the drivermanager and there is zero performance difference
[10:58] <murdock76> tovella: oh
[10:58] <jxxxt> how do i change from full screen to desktop??
[10:58] <shadowc001> what do i need to install for the libc headers so the nvidia drivers will install?
[10:58] <variant> shadowc001: just use the restricted driver manager
[10:58] <shadowc001> variant: its broken for me
[10:58] <tovella> murdock76: copy & paste this:
[10:58] <tovella> aptitude install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-good gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse
[10:58] <variant> shadowc001: how?
[10:59] <shadowc001> variant: stuck at 800x600
[10:59] <variant> shadowc001: run nvidia-settings
[10:59] <Fri13> variant: zero performance yes, but there can be problems. I have fixed _many_ PC what have used SAME version by installing nvidia owns.
[10:59] <shadowc001> variant: it says "auto" thats it... dude, trust me ive been at this for 4 hrs now
[10:59] <Fri13> And that's one reason why i moved away from restricted *buntu to other distros.
[10:59] <tovella> murdock76: you may have to substitute 0.08 for 0.10, cause i'm using feisty.
[10:59] <variant> shadowc001: lol ok
[10:59] <shadowc001> now what do i need to install for libc header files :D
[11:01] <shadowc001> got it, nm
[11:01] <ompaul> !compile > shadowc001 (please check out the info from the bot)
[11:01] <shadowc001> we have bots?
[11:02] <shadowc001> <- obvious chan noob :D
[11:02] <tom-ubu-> hi when i go myplaces then i go to my home directory then i can not do much it just hangs
[11:03] <murdock76> tovella: 0,10 worked.
[11:03] <murdock76> tovella: what did i just do?
[11:03] <tovella> ok, good - all of them installed?
[11:03] <murdock76> tovella: i believe so.
[11:03] <shadowc001> smexy
[11:04] <shadowc001> new drivers work like a charm
[11:04] <shadowc001> omfg, why did i not try that earlier?
[11:04] <shadowc001> you win again linux!
[11:04] <tovella> murdock76: you just installed the plugins that allow gstreamer to use a lot of different multimedia codecs.
[11:05] <tom-ubu-> hi when i go myplaces then i go to my home directory then i can not do much it just hangs i close the window it opens again ?
[11:05] <murdock76> oh
[11:05] <tovella> murdock76: now lets check to see which totem you have installed...  "aptitude search totem".
[11:06] <murdock76> tovella: ok.
[11:06] <shadowc001> OK now comes the real big question that ill bet no one here knows, where do i copy the new file from
[11:06] <murdock76> tovella: gstreamer and xine.
[11:06] <tovella> murdock76:  you should see totem-gstreamer, totem-xine, totem-mozilla...  which ones have the letter "i" at just before the file names?
[11:06] <shadowc001> when i reboot the drivers are in the wrong place and it makes a "wrong version" error
[11:06] <shadowc001> i have to reinstall as it is now
[11:07] <shadowc001> every boot
[11:07] <LadyNikon> argh
[11:07] <LadyNikon> this is killing me.
[11:07] <murdock76> xine has the i in front of it.
[11:07] <murdock76> gstreamer doesn't.
[11:08] <murdock76> and totem-mozilla isn't there yet.
[11:08] <moDumass> Fri13, hmm, if i switch window manager to metasticy then it works no probs
[11:08] <shadowc001> any ideas anyone?
[11:08] <Fri13> moDumass: you have beryl/compiz?
[11:08] <tovella> murdock76: ok, install the other one... "aptitude install totem-gstreamer"
[11:08] <Tarkus> anyone know how to apply a new splash screen?
[11:08] <tom-ubu-> hi when i go myplaces then i go to my home directory then i can not do much it just hangs i close the window it opens again ?anyone who can assist me
[11:08] <PuNcHLiNe> i do
[11:09] <tovella> murdock76: it should tell you that there's a conflict with totem-xine, and prompt you to remove it (they cannot co-exist).   all we just did requires gstreamer.
[11:10] <murdock76> it is removing xine
[11:10] <murdock76> tovella: removing xine.  gstreamer is better yes?
[11:10] <prethalayam> How can i disable upnp in azurues?
[11:10] <revilodraw> i just realised that, apart from the printer, there is no need for me to have xp in a virtual machine...how do i delete the virtual machine i made, and would it be safer for me to uninstall ssh?
[11:10] <anathematic> if i installed vlc player would that installpretty much all my codecs for other programs as well?
[11:11] <tovella> murdock76: arguable, but it's what the gnome and ubuntu developers have chosen.
[11:11] <revilodraw> anathematic; vlc is brilliant
[11:11] <fuzzy_logic> hello people.. i have a ubuntu computer and a mandriva server.. what is the best tool to periodically back all my data up on that server??
[11:11] <murdock76> tovella: ahh.
[11:11] <kraut> moin
[11:11] <tovella> murdock76: now check again - about-plugins
[11:11] <murdock76> it's still installing gstreamer
[11:11] <tovella> murdock76: ok.
[11:12] <tom-ubu-> hi when i go myplaces then i go to my home directory then i can not do much it just hangs i close the window it opens again ?anyone who can assist me
[11:12] <moDumass> Fri13, i do intdeed, beryl, and compiz, metasticy
[11:12] <murdock76> tovella: now totem seems to be gone. :S
[11:12] <fuzzy_logic> can anyone help me plz!?
[11:13] <jakeg> wondering if anyone could help me with this wireless bug after a suspend/resume cycle - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/115743
[11:13] <tovella> murdock76: search for it - "aptitude search totem"
[11:13] <revilodraw> jakeg; me too!!!!
[11:13] <Tarkus> anyone know how to apply a new splash screen?
[11:13] <jakeg> revilodraw: eh?
[11:14] <tovella> murdock76: does totem-mozilla show up with the letter "i" just preceeding it?
[11:14] <jakeg> revilodraw: you have the same problem?
[11:14] <nanda> I have windows 2000 in a vmware, but I can't access the internet through it
[11:14] <nanda> it worked before, now stopped working
[11:14] <nanda> :(
[11:14] <murdock76> tovella no just totem-gstreamer
[11:15] <tovella> murdock76: you see totem-mozilla in the list, though, right?
[11:15] <murdock76> tovella: there was one on the list totem-gstreamer-firefox-plugin.
[11:15] <murdock76> tovella: installing that one now.
[11:15] <tovella> murdock76: good call.
[11:15] <murdock76> tovella: thanks.
[11:16] <Lilacor> crap it's already 2am
[11:17] <prethalayam> How do i set a static IP in ubuntu?
[11:17] <jakeg> anyone here know how to make it so i don't see all these 'x has joined' 'y has left' messages?
[11:17] <Lilacor> prethalayam: use network manager
[11:17] <murdock76> tovella: now to check the plugins.
[11:17] <revilodraw> how do i delete the virtual xp machine i made?
[11:17] <jxxxt> prethalayam; there is a gui network that you can use
[11:18] <tovella> murdock76: you got it.
[11:18] <Lilacor> revilodraw: under vmware workstation?
[11:18] <murdock76> tovella: and it's back. :)
[11:18] <prethalayam> Yeah found that , but do i require a reboot after changing it
[11:18] <Fri13> moDumass: your problem is related to beryl/compiz and Nvidia. Do you have both installed (Beryl & Compiz)?
[11:18] <revilodraw> lilacor; under vmware player
[11:18] <murdock76> tovella: and cnn still does jack. :S
[11:19] <tovella> murdock76: now, cross you fingers and restart you browser.  go to cnn.com and click on one of those camera icons.
[11:19] <jxxxt> prethalayam; No just change and go
[11:19] <murdock76> i did.
[11:19] <murdock76> nothing happened.
[11:19] <yosumiru> whats #ubuntu-unregged?
[11:19] <Lilacor> revilodraw: do you know where the vm is located?
[11:19] <jxxxt> !ubuntu-unregged
[11:19] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu-unregged - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:20] <revilodraw> umm yes... on the desktop
[11:20] <tovella> murdock76: then i'm afraid it may be another reason to move up to feisty.
[11:20] <murdock76> ack.
[11:20] <murdock76> i don't need the vids that badly...
[11:20] <tovella> murdock76: what's up with mplayer?  i had it installed on dapper.
[11:20] <Lilacor> revilodraw: then just delete it
[11:20] <murdock76> tovella: something about dependency trees.
[11:20] <Lilacor> revilodraw: delete it with all of its associated failes
[11:20] <Lilacor> files
[11:21] <revilodraw> lilacor; ok... thank you.. how does a virtual machine work lol? how can u get a huge xp install in 1.6gb
[11:21] <tovella> murdock76: sounds like you may have added some third party repositories, that don't mix will with ubuntu's.  am i close?
[11:22] <murdock76> i did add universe.
[11:22] <Pijiu> My Xbox360 connects to my laptop (wired) and my laptop then connects to my Uni's wireless internet, how do I share the internet connection so the Xbox360 can connect to XboxLive. All I had to do on windows XP was share the internet connection via properties.
[11:22] <tovella> murdock76: that one's probably OK.
[11:22] <murdock76> tovella: aptitude is doing something where apt-get did not. :O
[11:22] <Lilacor> revilodraw: I don't kinow
[11:22] <murdock76> tovella: i might get mplayer after all.
[11:23] <jxxxt> prethalayam: Did you fix??
[11:24] <Lilacor> Pijiu: you'll probably have to use iptables to redirect all of your xbox's traffic towards your local gateway
[11:24] <Lilacor> Pijiu: this is my initial guess
[11:24] <Pijiu> Lilacor: is there a guide to using iptables, I'm very new to linux and have no idea really what I'm doing lol
[11:24] <murdock76> tovella: oh well.  i'm gonna retire for now.
[11:25] <murdock76> tovella: if i want news that badly i can go on my other laptop.
[11:25] <tovella> murdock76: same, here.  goonight.
[11:25] <murdock76> or use the fiesty livecd mayhaps.
[11:25] <Lilacor> Pijiu: there's a lot of information on iptables... look up a 'howto IPtables" and you should find a lot of information
[11:25] <murdock76> tovella: night.
[11:25] <fuzzy_logic> i have a ubuntu computer and a mandriva server.. what is the best tool to periodically back all my data up on that server??
[11:25] <tribblies> im trying to understand how to get my monitor to work with ubuntu so it can display my native resoution but when i reconfigure xserver it just messes it up
[11:26] <Pijiu> Lilacor: Is iptables configured through a GUI or do I have to use terminal
[11:26] <fuzzy_logic> tribblies: did you install the right drivers for your graphic carD?
[11:26] <lizili> a joke: Newton was sitting under a tree when a apple felling one his head and he discoveried gravity ,Is't that wonderful ?
[11:26] <tom-ubu-> hi when i go myplaces then i go to my home directory then i can not do much it just hangs i close the window it opens again ?anyone who can assist me
[11:26] <Lilacor> Pijiu: I think there's both
[11:26] <Xoebun> u can do it both
[11:26] <prethalayam_> I try to set the same static IP which i use in windows , but ubuntu dosent take it
[11:26] <tribblies> i don't know how to install the nvidia drivers or in fact install anything
[11:26] <Lilacor> Pijiu: iptables is more useful if you know what the CLI however
[11:26] <lizili> student:yes sir .if he had been sitting in class looking at books like us, he wouldn't have discovered anything."
[11:26] <Pijiu> Lilacor: CLI ?
[11:26] <Lilacor> command line interface
[11:27] <Lilacor> !aptitude
[11:27] <ubotu> aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT, like apt-get. However, aptitude can remember the dependencies installed with a package and remove them if you uninstall. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide
[11:27] <fuzzy_logic> !nvidia > tribblies
[11:27] <Lilacor> tribblies: learn how to use aptitude or synaptic
[11:27] <fuzzy_logic> tribblies: look at the private message
[11:27] <shadowc001> gahhh, why did anyone not sugguest "nvidia-glx-new"? :D
[11:28] <jxxxt> some one please tell me how I can get to other menus temporary if there is a full screen game up
[11:28] <Lilacor> shadowc001: probably because a lot of us are using just nvidia-glx
[11:29] <jakeg> argh.... there must be a way to ignore all these 'has joined' and 'has quite' messages in IRC. Anyone???
[11:29] <jakeg> has quit*
[11:29] <Cavallek> hi
[11:29] <schilling> jakeg
[11:29] <schilling> which client?
[11:29] <Lilacor> Konversation here
[11:29] <jakeg> xchat
[11:29] <Cavallek> I have shared one folder. How I can now access it from other computer ? I have NFS sharing
[11:30] <jakeg> schilling: no options in preferences for it
[11:30] <schilling> i think that it's possible in mirc ;)
[11:30] <jakeg> schilling: thought it may be an IRC command to ignore them, but couldn't find one
[11:30] <Lilacor> it's also possible using Konversation
[11:30] <schilling> i don't think it's a specific irc command
[11:30] <jakeg> thanks
[11:31] <levon> anyone know where i can look for a great icon theme set
[11:31] <levon> i want something tripped out
[11:31] <pai> elo. help me pls re making my ubuntu laptop a dualboot with xp...
[11:31] <varka> levon: gnome? kde? ...?
[11:31] <albert> hi, is there a way of changing the refresh rate in the gfx-grub menu?
[11:31] <Jinchurei> Hi, i'm trying to install ubuntu on my laptop, which has an intermittently useful cdrom.  I tried using the feisty livecd and it crashes every time i try to install.  So, i followed these directions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows - grldr doesnt boot, tells me its compressed.  I burned a knoppix disk and tried everything i could find to mount the drive and fix my boot.ini, but all i get is an error message,
[11:31] <levon> like really science fiction but looks nice i varka its Gnome
[11:31] <levon> :)
[11:32] <varka> levon: www.gnome-look.org
[11:32] <levon> aww thank you varka
[11:32] <Jinchurei> "The NTFS partition is hibernated."  I googled the error and tried everything i could find and i'm still screwed.  Anyone have an idea?
[11:32] <Fri13> pai: paste your /boot/grub/menu.lst to http://rafb.net/paste and give address here. And check what is your windows partition with gparted (/dev/hd*), if gparted is not installed, install it by typing console "sudo apt-get install gparted"
[11:33] <Lilacor> Jinchurei: you've booted up that drive with win32 platforms also?
[11:33] <mbudde> jakeg, right click the channel tab i xchat -> Show join/part messages
[11:33] <prethalayam_> Do i have a better bit torrent client than azurues for ubuntu?
[11:33] <Jinchurei> Lilacor - currently it has xp installed on it, worked great till i broke the boot.ini
[11:33] <Lilacor> prethalayam_: ktorrent is very nice
[11:33] <prethalayam_> It is giving me all sorts of errors ( Null pointer exception etc)
[11:33] <prethalayam_> but will it work with gnome
[11:33] <dojo>  prethalayam: freeloader
[11:34] <prethalayam_> is there something like utorrent a small one
[11:34] <albert> prethalayam_, of course, even though you drag half of the kde library into your memory ;)
[11:34] <Lilacor> Jinchurei: boot up BartPE and fix boot.ini then
[11:34] <jakeg> mbudde: i don't get that option
[11:34] <Lilacor> prethalayam_: I'm enjoying kubuntu more than ubuntu to be honest.
[11:34] <yohanes_chin> hi all, I'm currently using dualboot...winxp and ubuntu...can i add edubuntu also so it'll be tripple boot? what will be the default boot? currently is ubuntu.
[11:34] <fourcheeze> btdownloadcurses ?
[11:34] <Lilacor> plus I'm using x64
[11:35] <Cavallek> I have shared one folder. How I can now access it from other computer ? I have NFS sharing
[11:35] <mbudde> jakeg, your not using xhat-gnome are you?
[11:35] <sacater> hey, how do I stop X from starting when I load up, so I am only presented with consoles
[11:35] <mbudde> you're*
[11:35] <sacater> and i start things from there
[11:35] <Lilacor> yohanes_chin: that's your choice to make <x> the defaul
[11:35] <Lilacor> t
[11:35] <SlimeyPete> yohanes_chin: yes you can add edubuntu. I should imagine that it will set edubuntu to be the default, but you can change this once it's installed by editing your grub settings.
[11:35] <jakeg> mbudde: xchat-gnome 0.16
[11:35] <gorski> how to mount linux partitions on Ubuntu Live CD?
[11:35] <albert> gorski, mount /dev/hdwhatever
[11:36] <gorski> ok, tnx
[11:36] <albert> or something quite similar
[11:36] <maop> hello ppl. Does someone know how to configure X like installation script does? I mean i need 3d redering with mesa, but dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesn't do it...
[11:36] <Lilacor> sacater: you should probably remove xserver from your startup configuration
[11:36] <yohanes_chin> thank you Lilacor, and SlimeyPete: how to edit my grub settings?
[11:36] <Jinchurei> lilacor - will that work with a burned SP2 xp disc?  i think the lappy is only running sp1 if that matters
[11:36] <mbudde> jakeg, oh yes - xhat-gnome removes some of options :/
[11:36] <crdlb> maop: what card?
[11:36] <jakeg> mbudde: grrrr!!!
[11:36] <Lilacor> Jinchurei: I'm not sure. I keep bartPE around just for emergencies
[11:36] <sacater> Lilacor: how would I go about doing that
[11:37] <prethalayam_> The download speeds in ubuntu is way too low compared to the ones i get in windows
[11:37] <maop> crdlb: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]  65x/M650/740 PCI/AGP VGA Display Adapter
[11:37] <Jinchurei> Lilacor - this counts, i think.  I've been screwing around on this machine all day, and the fact is the error message is the most hopeful thing i've seen - a different glitch.
[11:37] <crdlb> maop: there's no (good) 3d support for that card
[11:37] <crdlb> mesa isn't any use for direct rendering by itself
[11:38] <albert> hi, is there a way of changing the refresh rate in the gfx-grub menu?
[11:38] <yohanes_chin> Lilacor: how or where to edit my grub settings for default boot?
[11:38] <maop> crdlb: it will ok if i had just mesa
[11:38] <albert> yohanes_chin, /boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:38] <lizili> everybody,should I install  a secure software for linux ?
[11:38] <Pijiu> man I don't get any of this iptables stuff lol ;/
[11:38] <crdlb> maop: mesa isn't a driver
[11:38] <yohanes_chin> albert: thanks for the info.
[11:39] <carlesoriol> CatalanTeam is doing an InstallParty. You can see it at: mplayer http://videoserver.ac.upc.es:920 and http://videoserver.ac.upc.es:921
[11:39] <Lilacor> Pijiu: I'm not positive that my answer will give you your desired results
[11:39] <lizili> fireware .etc
[11:39] <prethalayam_> How do i install wine using apt-get command line?
[11:39] <crdlb> maop: you have to set it to either sis or vesa
[11:39] <Pijiu> I'm not used to using terminal
[11:39] <albert> prethalayam_, sudo aptitude/apt-get install wine
[11:39] <albert> quite probably
[11:40] <prethalayam_> But i am not getting any files with that
[11:40] <jakeg> mbudde, thanks, 'aptitute install xchat' and i'm back!
[11:40] <maop> crdlb: 2d graphics  are ok, but 'glxgears' or 'glxinfo' will restart the xserver suddenly
[11:40] <Lilacor> sacater: are you not satisfied with dropping into the console with ctrl+alt+f6?
[11:40] <mbudde> jakeg, you're welcome :)
[11:40] <prethalayam_> it says package missing
[11:40] <lizili> everybody,should I install  a secure software to protect my linux ?
[11:40] <crdlb> maop: exactly, there's no good 3d driver for sis cards
[11:40] <albert> prethalayam_, do a aptitude update
[11:40] <Lilacor> lizili: that depends if you need it or not
[11:40] <albert> prethalayam_, then do aptitude search wine
[11:40] <albert> it should be there
[11:40] <Lilacor> Jinchurei: find a friend with winxp, get BartPE and then fix your boot.ini
[11:41] <Lilacor> Jinchurei: at LEAST chkdsk /f on your ntfs volume
[11:41] <albert> prethalayam_, did you edit your /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[11:41] <maop> crdlb: but i have seen this machine rendering 3d with mesa (slow but its ok for me), i need to configure the card again for that
[11:41] <Jinchurei> lilacor - i'm building the iso now
[11:41] <prethalayam_> No
[11:41] <tribblies> i've installed the nvidia driver but it still won't detect my native resolution
[11:42] <prethalayam_> how do i do a apt update?
[11:42] <crdlb> maop: then put the livecd in and see what it does differently
[11:42] <Jinchurei> lilacor - Also, I plan to wipe the drive as soon as i can.  there have just been certain technical difficultied this far
[11:42] <albert> prethalayam_, do:   sudo aptitude update
[11:42] <maop> maop: i'll try, thanks
[11:42] <Orfeous> how can i access HFS filesystems? is it supported in latest generic kernel in feisty?
[11:42] <Lilacor> Jinchurei: I see
[11:42] <Lilacor> Orfeous: HFS+ or just hfs?
[11:42] <Orfeous> Lilacor: dont know.. MAc formatted iPod
[11:42] <lizili> I don't know ,I have one for XP, I surf internet only on linux
[11:43] <Lilacor> Orfeous: you should be able to mount it like any volume
[11:43] <Lilacor> Orfeous: I am able to mount an hfs+ volume without issue
[11:43] <JammasterJay> How do  i convert an iso file into a exe file?
[11:43] <prethalayam_> is libwine same as wine?
[11:43] <Lilacor> JammasterJay: you don't.
[11:43] <albert> JammasterJay, why would you want to do that?
[11:43] <Orfeous> Lilacor: ok, hmm.. when i insert my ipod it recognize it but i cant access the filetable
[11:43] <SlimeyPete> isos and exes do different things
[11:43] <lizili> Lilacor:I don't know ,I have one for XP, I surf internet and play games only on linux
[11:43] <Orfeous> partitiontable i mean
[11:43] <megas> #blinkenshell
[11:43] <JammasterJay> I downloaded a program, which was in bin & cue file formates
[11:44] <Lilacor> JammasterJay: you mount the iso file as a cdrom drive using the loopback device
[11:44] <SlimeyPete> you could put the iso in a self-extracting exe archive, I guess. Not sure how you do that under Linux though.
[11:44] <JammasterJay> I want to run it under wine
[11:44] <JammasterJay> (quickbooks)
[11:44] <SlimeyPete> JammasterJay: you need to mount the iso as a disk, or burn it to a cd/dvd then put the disc in the drive.
[11:44] <Lilacor> lizili: if you highly value your linux box, then secure it with something then
[11:44] <prethalayam_> albert: I still cant find wine
[11:44] <albert> JammasterJay, you have to mount it, not to install it, it's a virtual cd-rom, in some way
[11:44] <Lilacor> Jinchurei: I see
[11:44] <Orfeous> Lilacor: so what to do?
[11:44] <SlimeyPete> JammasterJay: a bin/cue or an iso is a "disk image" - it's a copy of a complete disc, in one handy file
[11:45] <albert> prethalayam_, go to console and type:   sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[11:45] <JammasterJay> So how do i open it in wine?
[11:45] <Orfeous> i want to convert the hfs/hfs+ to fat32 so ubuntu can read it
[11:45] <Lilacor> Orfeous: if you type in mkfs.<TAB> what happens? do you see mkfs.hfs there?
[11:45] <JammasterJay> be it bin/cue or iso?
[11:45] <Orfeous> Lilacor: i see nothing then :D
[11:45] <SlimeyPete> JammasterJay: mount it using loopback, as mentioned earlier, or burn it to a disc using your favourite cd writing program (this will give you a disk with all the individual files on it, including the .exe)
[11:45] <sacater> Lilacor: no, i need to start with X
[11:45] <shadowc001> OK
[11:45] <Cavallek> I have shared one folder. How I can now access it from other computer ? I have NFS sharing
[11:46] <shadowc001> i have a new problem, and this i believe will fix it all
[11:46] <JammasterJay> ok SlimeyPete, thx
[11:46] <Frogzoo> JammasterJay: you might have to use mdf2iso to convert it to iso, & then you can mount it with a loopback
[11:46] <prethalayam_> albert: should i uncomment something in that file
[11:46] <Lilacor> sacater: you can then remove the symlinks from your rc files
[11:46] <Lilacor> sacater: you can then remove the symlinks from your rc directories
[11:46] <shadowc001> i got the new drivers installed, and now everytime i reboot it says "nvidia kernel drivers not found" but i can reinstall it and it works till next reboot
[11:46] <Lilacor> sacater: read about the linux boot process and then the answer should be obvious to you
[11:46] <albert> prethalayam_, ye, maybe, i don't really know for sure, there should be two adress lines commented with a # infront, delete that do  alt + x and press y to save
[11:47] <Lilacor> sacater: or at least clearer
[11:47] <lizili> Lilacor: oh ,I see, thanks
[11:47] <tribblies> does anyone know how to get feistyfawn to recognise the native resolution of a samsung 205BW?
[11:47] <albert> prethalayam_, ctrl + x, ofcourse
[11:47] <Lilacor> shadowc001: maybe you need to have 'nvidia' listed under /etc/modules?
[11:47] <Frogzoo> fixres | tribblies
[11:47] <Lilacor> Orfeous: that's probably a good reason why you don't see anything
[11:48] <Orfeous> Lilacor: ok.. how to fix that? :)
[11:48] <albert> prethalayam_, you should read the info first, in case you don't want to use software of this repositorie
[11:48] <shadowc001> trying and rebooting
[11:48] <prethalayam_> albert: is libwine same as wine?
[11:49] <michel_> hello
[11:49] <ikonia> prethalayam_: not, its a wine library
[11:49] <chdragonfly> does ubuntu come with chinese characters? on the system preference keybaord layouts, i see japanese, korean but no chinese T_T
[11:49] <tribblies> frogzoo: i pretty new to this so what command do i enter into the terminal
[11:49] <prethalayam_> I dont find wine any where
[11:49] <theguy77> hey, booting the feisty cd for the first time on this laptop, i just get a sscreen full of buffer i/o errors, but te harddrive seems to be functional within windows? what am i missing?
[11:49] <ikonia> chdragonfly: I /think/ its on the alternate cd only
[11:49] <chdragonfly> ok, thanks ikonia
[11:49] <ikonia> chdragonfly: but I'm not certain of that
[11:49] <Lilacor> Orfeous: install hfstools or anything related with hfs on your system
[11:50] <prethalayam_> will synaptic package manager contain wine?
[11:50] <Orfeous> Lilacor: i have
[11:50] <michel_> Have a Problem with installing a packet. It told me that the package needs (Python (<= 2.4.99) and on my System is 2.5.1~rc1-0ubuntu3. Any tips?
[11:50] <albert> prethalayam_, if you can download this, you can probably download wine too
[11:50] <albert> prethalayam_, may, you just should go to the wine homepage and read a manual about the whole wine-thing
[11:50] <albert> prethalayam_, seems to me you're not quite prepared
[11:50] <theguy77> ive tried defragging and scanning my drive
[11:50] <ikonia> theguy77: maybe the drivers for the chipset do not exist on your ubuntu install
[11:50] <Orfeous> hfsutils and hfsplus
[11:50] <ikonia> prethalayam_: ignore that albert said
[11:50] <albert> well
[11:50] <ikonia> !wine >prethalaym_
[11:50] <Orfeous> reboot, brb
[11:51] <Lilacor> Orfeous: did you try to manually mount the volume?
[11:51] <prethalayam_> I did install programms like , azurues,xchat etc
[11:51] <jxxxt> albert: is apt-get  and aptitude  the same thing exactly??
[11:51] <ikonia> prethalayam_: read the message from ubot about the ubuntu info on wine
[11:51] <albert> jxxxt, no
[11:51] <ikonia> jxxxt: aptitude is just another front end for dpkg - just as apt-get is
[11:51] <Frogzoo> tribblies: read the pm from the bot
[11:51] <Frogzoo> !fixres > tribblies
[11:51] <albert> ikonia, i'm just trying to help :(
[11:51] <ikonia> albert: I didn't say you wheren't
[11:51] <iarwain_> jxxxt: aptitude handles dependancies better when you remove stuff (meta-packages come to mind ^^ )
[11:51] <albert> ikonia, and whine isn't just "install and go"
[11:52] <ikonia> albert: I know its not
[11:52] <ikonia> iarwain_: aptitude and apt-get are both just interfaces to dpkg - they both do the same thing
[11:52] <Frogzoo> wine's pretty good for what it does
[11:52] <iarwain_> ikonia: i thought that aptitude install recommended packages aswell? (could be wrong though)
[11:53] <jxxxt> albert: I always apt-get things so is this correct or do I need to aptitude them?
[11:53] <ikonia> iarwain_: no
[11:53] <ikonia> jxxxt: they both do the same thing
[11:53] <jatt> (there is nothing wrong in using apt-get for updates)
[11:53] <ikonia> I know this
[11:53] <jxxxt> ikonia: That is what I was asking
[11:53] <claesson92> My sound won't work! It works just fine in windows, and it worked when i used Ubuntu before. I reinstalled Ubuntu, and now i wont get any sound. What might be wrong? (I know i asked this before, but i has scrollback lines at 300, sp i don't know what you guys answered.)
[11:54] <mbudde> Apt-get vs. Aptitude: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/aptitude
[11:54] <ikonia> jxxxt: I've said 3 times, aptitude and apt-get are different tools that both do the same thing to interface with dpkg which is the package manager
[11:54] <jxxxt> ikonia: Sorry to be a bit slow :-((
[11:54] <ikonia> jxxxt: its not a problem
[11:55] <Frogzoo> claesson92: check in prefs -> sound -> volume control for mutes
[11:55] <jxxxt> ikonia: Cool
[11:55] <Pijiu> anyone got an xbox360 working on xboxlive via a wired connection to an ubuntu box
[11:56] <ikonia> Pijiu: it won't be a problem if you have the network routing/proxying/forwarding setup correctly
[11:57] <Pijiu> ikonia: I have no idea where to begin
[11:57] <Frogzoo> Pijiu: there's linux howtos on the net
[11:57] <claesson92> Frogzoo: Microphone is the only one that's muted.
[11:57] <ikonia> Pijiu: tldp.org for a basic introduction to iptables and the ubuntu wiki has some examples of how to impliment them into an ubuntu box
[11:57] <fongo> bijour a tous
[11:58] <Frogzoo> fongo: en anglais ici svp
[11:58] <mIgUeL_sAn> i want to install the kde in my ubuntu, how would i do it?
[11:58] <ikonia> mIgUeL_sAn: install the kde-desktop meta package through the package manager
[11:58] <jxxxt> Pijui: Yes.. wlug.org.nz search the wiki for more info
[11:58] <fongo> escuse me i am a noob
[11:59] <claesson92> mIgUeL_sAn: Search for KDE in Synaptic. (I think)
[11:59] <Frogzoo> !fr | fongo
[11:59] <ubotu> fongo: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[11:59] <pai> hi. my laptop has built-in bluetooth. how do i check and use it in feisty?
[12:00] <Frogzoo> !bluetooth
[12:00] <ubotu> For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[12:00] <shadowc001> lilacor: ok its loaded, but its 1/2 the size in lsmod and doesnt work on a reboot
[12:00] <shadowc001> in other words it will load it after reboot, but its wrong, something isnt right
[12:00] <claesson92> Frogzoo: What might be wrong with my sound?
[12:00] <LeventO> hello all can someone tell me why iwpriv doesn't let me set my EncrypType=WPA, it gives me:
[12:00] <shadowc001> i have to reinstall for it to work
[12:00] <LeventO> Interface doesn't accept private ioctl...
[12:00] <LeventO> set (8BE2): Invalid argument
[12:01] <ikonia> LeventO: sounds like encyption isn't working/supported
[12:01] <ikonia> LeventO: or you may need specific user permssions
[12:01] <Frogzoo> !sound | claesson92
[12:01] <ubotu> claesson92: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[12:02] <mIgUeL_sAn> thanks guys
[12:02] <shadowc001> anyone else had problems with updating nvidia drivers?
[12:02] <ikonia> shadowc001: just use the ones in the ubuntu repos's its not great to get the ones direct from the nvidia site
[12:02] <Shaddox> Hello everyone. I need help setting up my cpufreqd, for some reason it isn't working.
[12:03] <shadowc001> ikonia: i am now...
[12:03] <ikonia> shadowc001: you are what ?
[12:03] <ikonia> Shaddox: does your chip support it ?
[12:03] <shadowc001> ikonia: useing the ones for ubuntu
[12:03] <shadowc001> er from
[12:03] <LeventO> hello all, can someone tell me why iwpriv does not allow me to set  EncrypType=WPA, it give me:
[12:03] <LeventO> Interface doesn't accept private ioctl...
[12:03] <LeventO> set (8BE2): Invalid argument
[12:03] <ikonia> shadowc001: great, then you should have no cause ot update
[12:03] <ikonia> LeventO: I've told you 2 possabilities
[12:03] <Shaddox> ikonia: It always could be set dynamically when I was on Kubuntu/KDE.
[12:04] <chdragonfly> Im totally new to linux and just installed ubuntu Feisty Fawn 7.04 today and everything on the ubuntu side works. when i tried to boot into windows, it just shows a blank screen and does nothing. Is this fixable and how? The system recovery works.
[12:04] <shadowc001> ikonia: the standard ones wont go higher than 800x600 so im useing the nvidia-glx-new
[12:04] <ikonia> Shaddox: ok, thats reasonable to assume
[12:04] <MarcoPau> hello everybody, I just installed ubuntu on this machine and I don't really understand what the problem is with the audio... but it's mute
[12:04] <ikonia> shadowc001: what video card do you have ?
[12:04] <Shaddox> ikonia: I have a problem with my heat shield, if my processor goes full-speed, it overheats and shuts itself down.
[12:04] <Frogzoo> shadowc001: what doesn't work?
[12:04] <shadowc001> 5700 Ultra
[12:04] <LeventO> ikonia, sorry, which two?
[12:04] <ikonia> LeventO: scoll up
[12:04] <MarcoPau> from XMMS, I see the alsa plugin, the correct device, the volumes are up, but no sound
[12:05] <Frogzoo> Shaddox: what doesn't work (soz shadowc001 )
[12:05] <SlimeyPete> chdragonfly: I don't know the exact answer, but many Windows boot problems have something to do with the contents of boot.ini on the Windows drive - you might want to google around a bit and check that the contents of your boot.ini look OK
[12:05] <ikonia> shadowc001: its possible that card is now classed as "legacy", I'm not sure, try the ubuntu-legacy package ?
[12:05] <crdlb> ikonia: it's not
[12:05] <shadowc001> frogzoo: ok, recap :D when i use the standard nvidia driver i cannot (i was here for 4 hrs trying to) change my resolution higher than 800x600
[12:05] <crdlb> the fx series is supported by nvidia-glx-new
[12:05] <mIgUeL_sAn> ikonia: how would i find the kde desktop in terminal using apt??
[12:05] <LeventO> ikonia, i got disconnected before, i didn't get it, could you please repeat it for me
[12:05] <ikonia> crdlb: thank you I wasn't sure
[12:06] <ikonia> mIgUeL_sAn: I told you the exact package name to search for, "kde-desktop"
[12:06] <mIgUeL_sAn> ikonia: i mean the package to install
[12:06] <shadowc001> frogzoo: so i tried the "new" drivers and now i have to reinstall em every reboot for it to work cause the kernel driver isnt right
[12:06] <Frogzoo> !fixres > shadowc001
[12:06] <chdragonfly> is boo.ini the thing you get when typing in gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[12:06] <ikonia> chdragonfly: boot.ini is a windows files system file
[12:06] <crdlb> shadowc001: what do you mean the kernel driver isn't right?
[12:06] <Shaddox> ikonia: I installed cpufreqd and modified my cpufreqd.conf but it still says 1.99GHz
[12:06] <SlimeyPete> chdragonfly: boot.ini is in the root of your c:\ drive in windows.
[12:06] <ikonia> shadowc001: how have you tried to change teh resolution
[12:07] <Frogzoo> Shaddox: do you want to manually set your mhz ?
[12:07] <SlimeyPete> chdragonfly: it's purely a windows thing. Windows uses it as a guide when booting (after grub has told windows to boot
[12:07] <shadowc001> ok im gonna /wrists now
[12:07] <SlimeyPete> )
[12:07] <shadowc001> frogzoo: i said i was HERE for 4 hrs cause i have tried everything
[12:07] <Shaddox> Frogzoo: Yes, at 1000MHz.
[12:07] <ikonia> shadowc001: instead of wasting time with "/wrists" answer the questions to get better support
[12:07] <close2__> hello, i would just need a few ideas, how to debug the following problem
[12:07] <SlimeyPete> chdragonfly: sometimes grub and boot.ini sorta... disagree ... about the locations of partitions etc and this can cause problems for Windows
[12:08] <close2__> my live-cd works, but booting from my hd, takes ~10 minutes
[12:08] <shadowc001> i have read that website over 100x
[12:08] <mohkohn> Hello I have installed Feisty on an iMac. Finally got the wireless working with ndiswrapper but have sound trouble
[12:08] <Frogzoo> Shaddox: sudo chmod +s cpufreq-selector    (I take no responsibility if this results in your box being hacked)
[12:08] <mohkohn> There is sound but it is very faint
[12:08] <Toma-> !install
[12:08] <Bogaurd> I'm playing with smartmontools - what does the 'automatic offline testing' option do? does this mean the drive needs to be unmounted or something?
[12:08] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - See also !automate
[12:08] <close2__> i removed splash and quiet from grub and the system hangs twice
[12:08] <Shaddox> Huh? What do you mean?
[12:08] <ikonia> shadowc001: answer the questions instead of moaning about how long you've been searching, people here can help
[12:08] <shadowc001> ikonia: what question?
[12:08] <mohkohn> I have all the volume controls fully up
[12:09] <LeventO> ikonia, sorry could you repeat the 2 possibilities, i can't see them because my irc client stuffed up and i had to restart it
[12:09] <ikonia> shadowc001: what methods have you used to try to set the resolution, what is the error message in your xorg log file to show why its sticking on 800x600
[12:09] <Shaddox> Frogzoo: What do you mean? :/
[12:09] <close2__> once at "reading files needed to boot"
[12:10] <ikonia> LeventO: encyption on your card isn't supported through the driver, or you need a higher user level permisson to set it
[12:10] <shadowc001> ikonia: there is no error msg at all, and under the nvidia-settings it just says "auto" and a greyd out "off" for resolution settings
[12:10] <close2__> and a second time 2 lines later "preparing restricted drivers" (or something similar)
[12:10] <shadowc001> and my monitor is labled as "@@@"
[12:10] <chdragonfly> SlimeyPete: i don't see the boot.ini file, im running linux right now since i can't get on windows T_T
[12:10] <mohkohn> I note in alsa mixer there is no green '00' like in the other settingstings
[12:10] <mohkohn> under PCM
[12:10] <ikonia> shadowc001: right so you've not actually done much 1.) try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg 2.) view the log for the supported resolutions to see why its sticking on 800x600
[12:10] <close2__> imo dmesg looks fine
[12:11] <Frogzoo> shadowc001: to change your cpu mhz, you need root permission, the chmod +s command will give the cpufreq app permission to change frequency
[12:11] <Shaddox> Frogzoo, i mean about the being hacked?
[12:11] <LeventO> ikonia, i use sudo for the commands, i assusme that give super user permissions, and i know my card supports it because i can use it with WPA encryption on a windows computer, could there be a problem with the drivers?
[12:11] <SlimeyPete> chdragonfly: it should be in c:\ on your windows drive. If it isn't there, then that's probably your problem ;) (unless you're running Vista... am not sure whether boot.ini exists in vista)
[12:11] <ikonia> LeventO: just because something works under windows, does not mean its supported under linux
[12:12] <mohkohn> Card is HDA Intel Chip is Realtek ALC885
[12:12] <shadowc001> ikonia: mabye i just diddnt have a person who knew how to help :D
[12:12] <mohkohn>  View: [Playback]  Capture  All
[12:12] <LeventO> ikonia, thanks, i'll try setting my router to a different encryption method and see if that works
[12:12] <ikonia> shadowc001: try what I've said
[12:12] <Pijiu> is there a way to edit iptables via a gui
[12:12] <mohkohn>  Item: Front [dB gain=0.00, 0.00] 
[12:12] <ikonia> shadowc001: also read this message from ubotu
[12:12] <ikonia> !fixres >shadowc001
[12:13] <al> hola
[12:13] <shadowc001> ikonia: i have read that over and over
[12:13] <ikonia> Pijiu: nothing is as accurate as the command line
[12:13] <mohkohn> Is that normal for nothing to be there under PCM?
[12:13] <ikonia> shadowc001: then how have you not done dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ?
[12:13] <ikonia> !fixres >ikonia
[12:13] <Frogzoo> shadowc001: suid permission is a security weakness, which is why ubuntu doesn't ship with the +s permission
[12:13] <al> alguien me puede echar una mano para un principiante de ubuntu
[12:14] <Shaddox> Frogzoo: Is there a way to make it secure?
[12:14] <ikonia> shadowc001: if you have read that page over and over again, why have you not done some of the things it says ?
[12:14] <shadowc001> ikonia: i have
[12:14] <ikonia> shadowc001: youve done dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ?
[12:14] <shadowc001> ikonia: then it was sugguested to me to try the nvidia-xconfig
[12:15] <ikonia> shadowc001: youve done dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ?
[12:15] <shadowc001> ikonia: but no one told me to check the log about the res, i forgot about it doing the ww thing
[12:15] <ikonia> shadowc001: youve done dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ?
[12:15] <shadowc001> ikonia: yes
[12:15] <LeventO> al, no puedo ayudarte, proque no se much de ubuntu, i pienso que no hay mucha gente aqui que pueden hablar espanol, va a #ubuntu-es
[12:15] <gorski_> My ubuntu do not recoqnise 4 speaker system. Help?
[12:15] <ikonia> view the logs then
[12:16] <shadowc001> ikonia: i am in the process of removing the new drivers and reinstalling the old ones the "enable restricted driver" way
[12:17] <ikonia> shadowc001: you said you where using the ubuntu ones
[12:17] <Frogzoo> Shaddox: sure, don't enable suid
[12:18] <shadowc001> ikonia: yes, but u came in right after that, they wernt working after a reboot so i tried the nvidia ones from the website, and i had to reinstall it every reboot but they worked fine
[12:18] <Shaddox> Frogzoo: Says it can't find cpufreq-selector.
[12:18] <mohkohn> Punk sounds terrible quiet! I want my sound loud! :)
[12:19] <mrec_> "make-kpkg --revision=2.6.20-linuxtv-15.27.1 kernel_image" is this all I have to do for building an ubuntu/debian kernelimage?
[12:20] <mIgUeL_sAn> how would i know what are the running daemon in my ubuntu?
[12:20] <shadowc001> ikonia: ok now its saying the kernal version is 7xxx and the glx is 96xx so its a mismatch
[12:21] <crdlb> shadowc001: that's fixable
[12:21] <aliask> I'm looking at changing ubuntu's behaviour with selecting text with the control-shift-back/forward key combo - I want it to break when it reaches a special character, not just a space. Is this possible?
[12:21] <crdlb> shadowc001: first install nvidia-glx-new
[12:21] <crdlb> that's the newest driver you can use
[12:22] <variant> aliask: yes, it's free software. that feature is probably hard coded so it's possible if you can program
[12:22] <mIgUeL_sAn> ikonia:  how would i know what are the running daemon task in my ubuntu?
[12:22] <crdlb> shadowc001: then set in /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common, DISABLED_MODULES="nvidia_legacy nvidia"
[12:23] <shadowc001> crdlb: that is probably the line i have been searching for all night :D
[12:23] <chdragonfly> i seriously can't find boot.ini, in the \c; windows, i see desktop.ini and bootstat.dat
[12:23] <thingy> mIgUeL_sAn, "ps ax" give you a list of running processes...if you are after a list of apps listening for connetions than netstat -pan. Install a programm called htop which is a nicer version of the top program which will give you a good idea on what is running on your system
[12:23] <aliask> variant: So it's hard coded? Do you know what module, and how easy it'll be to replace?
[12:23] <rebegin> hey,
[12:23] <Carroarmato0> Hi, I'd like to install the SMP enabled kernel to use the hyperthreading functions of my intel processor.... but the kernel names in Synaptic confuse me... got any help?
[12:24] <SlimeyPete> Carroarmato0: what are you running? feisty?
[12:24] <close2__> is there something similiar to init-status, or something like this?  showing all init.d scripts and there states?
[12:24] <Carroarmato0> SlimeyPete, yes I do run Feisty
[12:24] <SlimeyPete> Carroarmato0: then you're already running SMP. It's installed by default.
[12:25] <zaphands> Hello. How do I stop sound juicier from showing up? It interrupts the burning process when I try to burn an audio cd.
[12:25] <Carroarmato0> SlimeyPete, how can I be sure....  I looked at the /proc/cpuinfo  file  and it list indeed  2 processors with "siblings 2" and "cpu core 1"
[12:26] <ikonia> mIgUeL_sAn: what do you mean
[12:26] <Ratkid132> hey guys :)
[12:26] <Dante24> Hello
[12:26] <SlimeyPete> Carroarmato0: that's correct. As far as I remember, HT processors appear as one core, two siblings
[12:27] <Carroarmato0> SlimeyPete, so I basically don't need to change anything?
[12:27] <SlimeyPete> Carroarmato0: indeed
[12:27] <mIgUeL_sAn> ikonia: what are the available daemon running in my system
[12:27] <ikonia> mIgUeL_sAn: for what ?
[12:27] <Carroarmato0> SlimeyPete, cool! ^^
[12:27] <Ratkid132> I'm trying to copy some files from one dir to a dir higher in the same tree, it has to be done as root, could someone help me?
[12:27] <mIgUeL_sAn> i mean that is currently running in my system
[12:27] <shadowc001> crdlb: i am now bowing down to u :D
[12:28] <ikonia> Ratkid132: higher in the same tree ?
[12:28] <ikonia> mIgUeL_sAn: ps -ef
[12:28] <shadowc001> crdlb: thanks man that was what i was looking for
[12:28] <Carroarmato0> SlimeyPete, thx for the help!
[12:28] <SlimeyPete> ratkid: use "sudo mv <filename> <destination>" in a terminal
[12:28] <tribblies> hey I need help i just added native resolution support for my monitor by reconfiguring xorg but now half the windows don't show up like terminal and the close-bars with the x buttons dont either
[12:28] <SlimeyPete> Carroarmato0: no problem
[12:28] <Orfeous> Lilacor: back again
[12:28] <Ratkid132> ikonia: from .wine/dosdevices/e:/bf2minicd to .wine/dosdevices/e:
[12:29] <shadowc001> ikonia: and thanks for ur help too, i appreaciate it
[12:29] <ikonia> Ratkid132: thats the same path
[12:29] <chdragonfly> SlimeyPete: i found the boot.ini file, what should i do?
[12:29] <mIgUeL_sAn> thanks ikonia
[12:29] <Ratkid132> is the destination relative to where you are in terminal SlimeyPete or is it from home?
[12:29] <ikonia> shadowc001: not a problem, please crdlb fixed it
[12:29] <Ratkid132> couldn't get my words out ikonia
[12:29] <ikonia> Ratkid132: relative to what you are
[12:29] <ikonia> where
[12:30] <SlimeyPete> Ratkid132: it's relative, unless you give a full path (eg /usr/local/bin/mydirectory or something - the first "/" indicates the beginning of the filesystem)
[12:30] <Ratkid132> i want to move multiple files, can I say move everything in a dir or do I have to do it one at a time
[12:30] <ikonia> Ratkid132: /*
[12:30] <ikonia> moves everything under /
[12:30] <Ratkid132> thanks
[12:30] <ikonia> for example
[12:30] <Ratkid132> should've thought of that
[12:30] <ikonia> Ratkid132: you need cp -R to include directories
[12:30] <Ratkid132> bbs see if it works
[12:31] <SlimeyPete> chdragonfly: I'm afraid I can't give you details but you'll want to concentrate mainly on the partition numbers.... google around a bit and see if you can find some info on whether they're correct or not
[12:31] <lizili> the icon of firestarter Is appear on the taskdiagram when it is working ?
[12:31] <prethalayam_> How do i uninstall a program in ubuntu?
[12:31] <Misled> In Openoffice how do I sent the "sendto" to use Opera?  Or when I click an email  link in a document . it doesnt open Opera mail..
[12:31] <ikonia>  prethalayam_use the package manager to remove it
[12:32] <xushi> hi all
[12:32] <sdac> this is probably an obvious thing...but i can't find anything on google about where are the icons for programs stored ?  Where can i find the image for the firefox icon and other such software so i can create shortcuts for them ?
[12:32] <xushi> how can i get my ubuntu to permanently take an ip address and connect to my wireless without editing it through the GUI witn every reboot ?
[12:32] <ikonia> sdac: they are kept within the themes they are part of
[12:33] <ikonia> xushi: disable dhcp and set a static ip
[12:33] <sdac> ikonia:  "the themes they are part of"  ?   im not sure what you mean there
[12:33] <sdac> i am using xubuntu fiesty
[12:33] <ikonia> sdac: /usr/share/themes for example
[12:34] <PrimoTurbo> what exactly is a symbolic link? I'm installing Q3, I wanted it to be installed in the home directory under Games folder now the installer is asking me where to put the symbolic link...
[12:34] <Ratkid132> hmmm problem ikonia, its not actually in that dir, the dir is a link to another folder
[12:34] <wafflepox> PrimoTurbo: a symbolic link is a file that acts as a pointer to another file
[12:34] <ikonia> Ratkid132: it should follow symlinks
[12:34] <Slart> PrimoTurbo: it's like a shortcut in windows
[12:34] <Ratkid132> hmmm
[12:34] <xushi> ikonia: any documentation or tutorial on how to do that ?
[12:34] <wafflepox> any operation performed on a symlink is performed on the file it points to
[12:34] <Slart> a shortcut on steroids then =)
[12:34] <PrimoTurbo> where is a good place to put it?
[12:35] <ikonia> xushi: documentation on what ?
[12:35] <Ratkid132> I'll try again
[12:35] <bbrazil> wafflepox: not so. What about unlink()?
[12:35] <PrimoTurbo> it's asking /usr/local/bin/
[12:35] <wafflepox> bbrazil: caught out XD
[12:35] <xushi> ikonia: on how to disable dhcp and add it staticly on ubuntu
[12:35] <mIgUeL_sAn> ikonia: how can i view all the daemon that is currently running?
[12:35] <wafflepox>  /usr/local/bin is good
[12:35] <ikonia> xushi: I'm sure there is advice on the wiki
[12:35] <ikonia> mIgUeL_sAn: I've told you 3 times now
[12:35] <wafflepox> broedje: you there?
[12:35] <Slart> PrimoTurbo: sounds like a good idea.. so you can run it from the command line without changing directory
[12:35] <bbrazil> wafflepox: there's a few syscalls that take an option to affect the symlink too
[12:35] <xushi> thanks
[12:35] <PrimoTurbo> I see
[12:35] <ikonia> mIgUeL_sAn: you even thanked me for telling you
[12:35] <izaq> hello :)
[12:35] <broedje> yea
[12:35] <broedje> wafflepox:
[12:36] <wafflepox> hey broedje
[12:36] <wafflepox> you helped me yesterday with my p900
[12:36] <wafflepox> any chance you still have that link you gave me?
[12:36] <wafflepox> i don't have logging turned on and I lost it XD
[12:36] <izaq> this firest time to enter here :$
[12:36] <mIgUeL_sAn> ikonia: waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ikonia i'm sorry, i was really really busy and kind of tired
[12:36] <comfortably__num> Hi, I'd like to know if there is any chance to get DRI working with open source drivers for my ati x1100 card (based on x200m chipset), given that when I boot with a feisty livecd I get no DRI
[12:36] <ikonia> mIgUeL_sAn: ?
[12:36] <mIgUeL_sAn> ikonia: thanks a lot
[12:36] <Ratkid132> ikonia: this is what it gave me. matt@matt-desktop:~/.wine/dosdevices/e:/bf2minicd$ sudo cp /* /.wine/dosdevices/e:/
[12:36] <Ratkid132> cp: target `/.wine/dosdevices/e:/' is not a directory: No such file or directory
[12:36] <crdlb> comfortably__num: no
[12:37] <ikonia> Ratkid132: its because you've got e:
[12:37] <ikonia> Ratkid132: its because you've got e:\
[12:37] <Slart> Ratkid132: or because there is a /wine in there
[12:37] <ikonia> you need to esacpe or quote the "\" char
[12:37] <comfortably__num> crdlb: thanks anyway
[12:37] <ikonia> oops
[12:37] <Ratkid132> so I need an \ at the end?
[12:37] <ikonia> Ratkid132: ignore what I just said
[12:38] <ikonia> I see the problem
[12:38] <Orfeous> Lilacor: are you there?
[12:38] <ikonia> Ratkid132: where is .wine located  ?
[12:38] <Orfeous> Lilacor: seems like it is HFS+
[12:38] <Ratkid132> in the place where cd $HOME takes you (Home?)
[12:38] <dappis> ikonia: all user settings are located in users home-directory
[12:38] <gorski> My Ubuntu does not recoqnise 4 speaker sound system. Help?
[12:38] <dappis> /home/user/.wine/
[12:38] <PrimoTurbo> I want to chmod a directory and all the files in it so I can read/write what the exact command?
[12:38] <ikonia> Ratkid132: yup, and you've done /.wine not /home/$user/.wine
[12:38] <Ratkid132> what dappis said
[12:38] <ikonia> dappis: I know this
[12:39] <Ratkid132> ah ok
[12:39] <dappis> you could try "locate .wine"
[12:39] <mIgUeL_sAn> ikonia: i've heard a lot of good things about linux that's why i'm kinda busy finding out what's good of it
[12:39] <ikonia> Ratkid132: so its complaining because the file doesn't exist in /.wine
[12:39] <ikonia> dappis: we know where it is, the location is not a problem
[12:39] <dappis> ok
[12:39] <close2__> PrimoTurbo: chmod -R      (see man chmod)
[12:39] <mIgUeL_sAn> ikonia: sorry dude i forgot to thank you earlier
[12:40] <ikonia> mIgUeL_sAn: you've thanked me 10 times, its fine
[12:40] <Ratkid132> seems to have done it
[12:40] <mIgUeL_sAn> :)
[12:40] <DarthShrine> gnome-power-manager has managed to detach itself from the notification area. How can I get it back in?
[12:41] <close2__> how do i find out, why my boot-process hangs
[12:41] <dappis> logout and login, usualle does the trick
[12:41] <Ratkid132> oh man
[12:41] <PrimoTurbo> I have a better question how do I make it so a root owned directory becomes a user based directory
[12:41] <Ratkid132> it didn't work: /* copies everything in the file system -.-
[12:41] <Frogzoo> close2__: remove the 'quiet & splash" options from the grub line - hit e from grub prompt to edit, hit b to boot edited line
[12:41] <Ratkid132> should've just been *
[12:42] <close2__> Frogzoo: done
[12:42] <Frogzoo> PrimoTurbo: sudo chown user:user /path/to/folder
[12:42] <shadowc001> hrm, i have another question... this ones not so hard :D
[12:43] <close2__> it hangs twice, once while "Reading files needed to boot" and then 2 lines further "Preparing restricted drivers"? (not sure, running livecd at the moment)
[12:43] <shadowc001> i have an old shuttle xpc nforce2, but it has the soundstorm dolby digital live out, does that work in ubuntu the same as it does in windows?
[12:43] <PrimoTurbo> Frogzoo: that worked but how about doing not only to the directory but all the files in the directory
[12:43] <PrimoTurbo> and folders
[12:43] <Frogzoo> close2__: you also can boot in recovery mode, & run the init scripts by hand
[12:43] <ikonia> shadowc001: check the hardware compatability list
[12:43] <close2__> PrimoTurbo: -R (or -r see manpage)
[12:44] <shadowc001> basically, in windows i can set it to have stereo outputs use the dolby digital live to tell my reciever to replicate the channels to all left/right channels
[12:44] <Frogzoo> PrimoTurbo: sudo chown -R user:user /path/to/folder
[12:44] <broedje> wafflepox:
[12:44] <broedje> letz go
[12:44] <Ratkid132> gah its being a pain
[12:45] <PrimoTurbo> Thanks that worked :)
[12:46] <Ratkid132> what im TRYING to do: mount an .mdf file in mnt/bf2minicd then link that to WINEs e: drive so BF2 can actually run. Whats happening: the e: drive is mounting the folder, not the contents of the folder. so its e:/bf2minicd/
[12:46] <rebegin> i got kernel panic randomly, i checked system log, but nothing has found, where else should i check? i use feisty, on a fujits-siemens a7640 laptop, there wasn't any problem with previous kubuntu versions. any suggestions?
[12:46] <Mavvie> let's see the FAQ first before I ask how to enable services at startup :-)
[12:47] <Frogzoo> rebegin: #1 culprit is vid cards, #2 usb hal/nonsense
[12:47] <rebegin> Frogzoo: could you tell me more please what are you asking? i've got sis video card, no compiz/beryl
[12:47] <Frogzoo> Mavvie: sys -> admin -> service
[12:48] <rebegin> Frogzoo: what about that hal stuff? :D
[12:48] <Mavvie> Frogzoo_away: I only have a command line :-)
[12:49] <DevilChaos> hello
[12:50] <Mavvie> aha, it's a apt-system.
[12:50] <ikonia> Ratkid132: you mount a filesystem not a folder or file (unless its an iso image)
[12:50] <DevilChaos> just installed ubuntu and need a little assistance please how do i config root and password install only let me conf normal user
[12:50] <DevilChaos> ?
[12:50] <ikonia> !sudo >devilchaos
[12:51] <Ratkid132> its an .mdf image which is basically an iso image
[12:51] <ikonia> !root >devilchaos
[12:51] <ikonia> Ratkid132: and what command are you using to mount it
[12:51] <DevilChaos> no need for root user then?
[12:51] <m0u5e> does anyone know how to have my desktop resolution switch to * whenever i am running a game with * resolution
[12:51] <ikonia> DevilChaos: correct
[12:51] <Ratkid132> matt@matt-desktop:~$ sudo mount -r -t udf -o loop blh-bf2.mdf  /mnt/bf2minicd/
[12:52] <ikonia> Ratkid132: thats correct, its mounting that image as a file system on /mnt/b2fminicd
[12:53] <Ratkid132> ok well I want it to do it on cdrom0 i think (thats where e: is linked to in .wine dir)
[12:53] <Ratkid132> is it possible to do that?
[12:53] <graveson> what can i use to tage video files ?
[12:53] <ikonia> Ratkid132: cdrom0 is a device file
[12:54] <DevilChaos> that good in a way but makes my life more difficult having to learn it when id just type in the password then away id go
[12:54] <graveson> *tag
[12:54] <Ratkid132> I take it that means i can't link to it then ikonia
[12:54] <ikonia> Ratkid132: not really
[12:54] <OuZo> how do i trans code a avi to burn a video dvd? thanks
[12:55] <DevilChaos> so what would i enter if i wanted deselect to run as root or sudo as it were?
[12:55] <Ratkid132> ok but I can make a new folder in dosdevices and link THAT to the bf2 cd...
[12:55] <ikonia> Ratkid132: well, thats not true - you can link to cdrom0 - but you can't mount on it as its a block device
[12:55] <Ratkid132> excuse me a moment
[12:55] <ikonia> DevilChaos: pardon ?
[12:56] <Mavvie> what is the apt- command to search for a string in the available packages?
[12:56] <DevilChaos> sudo deselect
[12:56] <DevilChaos> ?
[12:56] <ikonia> Mavvie: apt-cache
[12:56] <ikonia> DevilChaos: deselect what ?
[12:57] <Ratkid132> ikonia: It won't let me choose make link on the bf2minicd folder. I think it's because it's mounted?
[12:57] <Mavvie> ikonia: aha, got it.
[12:57] <ikonia> Ratkid132: what command are you trying to do
[12:57] <DevilChaos> then it asks for a password i dont have root password just user password
[12:57] <Mavvie> ikonia: was confused because "apt-cache search bacula" didn't show anything.
[12:57] <ikonia> Ratkid132: keep in mind that you've just mounted an image
[12:57] <py__> hello
[12:57] <ikonia> DevilChaos: enter the user password, thats how sudo works
[12:58] <graveson> what can i use to tag video files ?
[12:58] <DevilChaos> what installer do you use for ubuntu aptitude ?
[12:58] <Ratkid132> rather than linking it, can I just mount it in the wine folder?
[12:58] <nox-Hand> Why does the Ubuntu 7.04 LiveCD not want to detect my MX Revolution USB mouse? I have no mouse
[12:59] <jrib> nox-Hand: "lsusb" turns up nothing?
[12:59] <py__> I've got a laptop with a 802.11a/b/g/n board integrated. I installed it through ndiswrapper, and I can see it running iwconfig. However, it seems to be in 802.11a mode, and I want to get it to work in 802.11b/g mode. How can I do that?
[12:59] <Ratkid132> nox-Hand: I'm amazed you navigated this far without a mouse :O
[12:59] <ikonia> DevilChaos: aptitude is a package manager, it installs packages for you
[01:00] <ikonia> Ratkid132: have you read the wine howto on the ubuntu wiki?
[01:01] <Ratkid132> nope - I really should shouldn't I
[01:01] <ikonia> !wine >ratkid132
[01:01] <Ratkid132> in the meantime, a couple of other questions
[01:01] <ikonia> Ratkid132: you're just making it hard and a bi of a mess, just read that howto and it walks you through it
[01:01] <Ratkid132> cool
[01:02] <Ratkid132> other questions: Is there a way of auto-mounting partitions when i boot linux? atm I have to remount all my NTFS partitions every time I start the PC
[01:03] <Ratkid132> anyone?
[01:03] <ikonia> Ratkid132: use your /etc/fstab
[01:04] <nox-Hand> Ratkid132: there is a handicap keyboard mouse thing, but I just used another laptop ;) You can do ANYthing without a mouse ;)
[01:04] <graveson> what can i use to tag video files ?
[01:04] <juan> hola
[01:05] <broedje> wafflepox!!
[01:05] <lupusbeta> on ubuntu release 5.10 i want to install tightvncviewer 1.3.9 it says "vncviewer: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by vncviewer)
[01:05] <lupusbeta> "
[01:05] <nox-Hand> jrib: No, lsusb gives nothing. I have tried putting it in another USB port and still gives off nothing - I also tried the mouse in another PC where it works fine. It has worked perfectly before, so I know not what is wrong.
[01:06] <lupusbeta> is there a way ? maybe Java version?
[01:06] <ikonia> lupusbeta: how did you try to install vncviewer
[01:06] <lupusbeta> ikonia, i used alien on a 1.3.9.rpm for Fedora6
[01:06] <jrib> nox-Hand: indeed mine works as soon as I plug it in as well.  Any dmesg output when you plug it in?
[01:07] <SlimeyPete> lupusbeta: you need a different version of glibc. But don't install one - it'll probably break most of your system.
[01:07] <Ratkid132> ikonia: there is nothing in my etc folder called fstab (maybe I missunderstood you?
[01:07] <ikonia> lupusbeta: there you go, SOOOooooo many problems. 1.) redhat uses different package versions / dependencies 2.) you're not using the package manager so it may not be aware of all the dependencies 3.) bottom line is glibc is not the same on your system as it expects
[01:07] <nox-Hand> jrib: sec
[01:07] <ikonia> Ratkid132: show me "ls -la /etc/fstab"
[01:08] <py__> how can I change my wifi card from 802.11a to 802.11b/g mode? It supports both, but is in 802.11a mode atm.
[01:08] <wwwerty> How can i remove all the drives on the desktop to a diffrent location
[01:08] <lupusbeta> ikonia, alien on sourcecode directly?
[01:09] <nox-Hand> jrib: nope, might just be another 7.04 liveCD flaw - found a few of em :P
[01:09] <Ratkid132> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 491 2007-05-19 09:55 /etc/fstab
[01:09] <ikonia> lupusbeta: both
[01:09] <ikonia> Ratkid132: right - so there it is
[01:09] <ikonia> Ratkid132: next time look properly
[01:09] <nox-Hand> jrib: will try another USB mouse and then I will get a PS2 mouse
[01:09] <jrib> nox-Hand: maybe, are you planning on installing or just using the live cd?
[01:10] <d2812> Can somebody who is running feisty, go into Software Sources and under Authentication tell me what keys they have listed? I have 437D05B5, and FBB75451.
[01:10] <ikonia> d2812: the keys are in the root of the repo's just look there
[01:10] <Ratkid132> ikonia: I'm telling you it's not there I'm looking in /etc/ and theres plenty of folders but fstab isn't there, I even turned on show hidden folders
[01:11] <nox-Hand> jrib: installing, so can probably fix later
[01:11] <ikonia> Ratkid132: you've just done ls -la /etc/fstab - and its there
[01:11] <ikonia> Ratkid132: how are you looking
[01:11] <jrib> nox-Hand: does other usb stuff work?
[01:11] <forngren> How can I use screen 1 as primary in xorg.conf?
[01:11] <Ratkid132> how? in GNOMEs file browser
[01:11] <Ratkid132> Nautilus
[01:11] <ikonia> Ratkid132: well, its there, you've just proved it
[01:12] <afief> Ratkid132, it's a file
[01:12] <nox-Hand> jrib: There is no other ;)
[01:12] <nox-Hand> jrib: will just install with a PS/2 for now :-D
[01:12] <afief> Ratkid132, not a folder
[01:12] <nox-Hand> THen fix later
[01:12] <Ratkid132> *facepalm*
[01:12] <jrib> nox-Hand: k
[01:12] <Ratkid132> yeah got it lol
[01:12] <jrib> nox-Hand: might be a good idea to check bugs.ubuntu.com and file a bug with hardware info if there isn't one already
[01:14] <Misled> I get this message from time to time and have installed a program but dependancies couldnt be download... Here is the problem : "Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy-updates/universe/binary-i386/Packages.bz2  MD5Sum mismatch"
[01:14] <Misled> How do I fix that?
[01:14] <dspstv> if the mem test reports errors is there anything one can do?
[01:14] <wwwerty> how do i remove the mounted drives on the desktop?
[01:14] <ikonia> dspstv: buy new ram
[01:14] <d2812> ikonia: do you have alink, i'm being a bit blind and cant see them.
[01:14] <ikonia> wwwerty: tell them to mount anwhere else
[01:14] <dspstv> ikonia, just that ha?
[01:15] <ikonia> d2812:  no
[01:15] <juan> tengo que comprar un wireles para conectar wifi de un ruter cual me recomendaiel amper que tengo de telefonica no me funciona
[01:15] <juan>  uso un cable, pero son 25 metros la tirada :P

[01:15] <ikonia> !es >juan
[01:15] <wwwerty> its mounted in media , but still i find it on the destop
[01:15] <Frogzoo_away> Misled: "sudo apt-get clean" may help
[01:15] <jrib> dspstv: make sure voltage and bios settings are correct (contact manufacturer) otherwise you need new ram as ikonia said
[01:15] <ikonia> wwwerty: thats gnome doing that
[01:15] <wwwerty> Do i have to look else where other than the fstab file?
[01:15] <dspstv> ikonia, the chip says lifetime warranty
[01:15] <ikonia> dspstv: so rma it
[01:15] <wwwerty> ikonia: can i remove those
[01:15] <dspstv> sure
[01:15] <dspstv> i have no receipt
[01:15] <Misled> Frog_zoo:  Ok doing that now
[01:16] <dspstv> :(
[01:16] <juan> ikonia que modelo me recomiendas
[01:16] <ikonia> wwwerty: as I recall there is a gnome setting in gconf that says to not display on desktop
[01:16] <ikonia> !es > juan
[01:16] <ikonia> dspstv: thats not my issue
[01:16] <jrib> !icons > wwwerty (see the private message from ubotu)
[01:16] <dspstv> ikonia, ok ok chill
[01:16] <dspstv> :)
[01:16] <ikonia> I am
[01:18] <vlab> Hello
[01:18] <d2812> synaptic is saying that packages i'm about to install can't be authenticated. google seems to confirm that i have the right key, and its from the universe repo. anyone got any ideas?
[01:18] <Misled> Frog_zoo: What exaclty does the apt-get clean do?
[01:19] <vlab> Quick question, is it possible to install ubuntu from an local iso image? (having a boot floopy, boot cd)
[01:19] <Misled> I did it but sill get this: W: GPG error: http://archive.ubuntu.com edgy-backports Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com>
[01:19] <Misled> W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
[01:19] <Misled> E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[01:20] <Frogzoo_away> Misled: so do what it says 'sudo apt-get update'
[01:20] <wwwerty> when i open utorrent with wine and minimise and then maximize it, the window becomes transparent
[01:21] <graveson> what can i use to tag video files ?
[01:21] <YamiTenshi> I have a problem: Linux won't boot normally. When I try to boot it, it just gives me a black screen saying "Starting up...", and then does nothing. Recovery mode works fine, but that won't do me any good since I have no clue what the problem is or how I can find out. (Currently running Ubuntu using the live cd, btw. My Linux distibution is Ubuntu
[01:21] <Misled> Frogzoo_away: I did.. and I still get that message... so I'm at a loss.  Is the prob on my end or the ubuntu ftp file end of things?
[01:21] <Frogzoo_away> Misled: might be a bad package
[01:22] <YamiTenshi> could anybody help me determine the problem? Or does any of you have any idea what it might be?
[01:22] <vlab> Yami: Im no expert, could it be that your computer cant handle the "vesa" grapichs mode when booting? (you have installed it right..)
[01:22] <YamiTenshi> it booted just fine yesterday
[01:22] <Hadron> vlab: vesa needs no such install. It is a default.
[01:23] <YamiTenshi> X wouldn't boot, but that was fixed by disabling the NVidia glx driver
[01:23] <jrib> YamiTenshi: get rid of "quiet" and "splash" from /boot/grub/menu.lst and try booting again, that might give you more information about where it fails
[01:23] <vlab> hadron, as for handling the framebuffer?
[01:23] <lbawinowns> Hello, I got a couple of files that are 0 B wand they are completely unremoveable, and i must remove them, it's on a NTFS
[01:23] <YamiTenshi> did that already =\
[01:23] <Misled> Frog_zoo" Ok.. I'll just wait it out.. I was afraid there was something wrong on my end and am a little fanatical about keeping everything perfect on my pc.  LOL
[01:23] <Misled> Now I can sleep better :)
[01:24] <Hadron> vlab: you are complicating things needlessly. What does accessing the framebuffer have to do with it?
[01:24] <msingh> will ubuntu use nvidia (corp) drivers or free ones?
[01:24] <Hadron> vlab: vesa is a default fallback.
[01:24] <YamiTenshi> the nvidia drivers only give trouble for me, I didn't bother to install them again :P
[01:24] <jrib> msingh: free ones unless you enable the nvidia ones
[01:25] <vlab> Hadron: ok.. :D
[01:25] <Hadron> msingh: both. 7.04 gives you the choice to usee the restricted drivers (NVidia latest ones)
[01:25] <msingh> jrib, when you say enable, what do you mean?
[01:25] <msingh> ok so out of the box i will have the choice?
[01:25] <jrib> msingh: you are running feisty?
[01:25] <wam> msingh: and unless nvidia creates free drivers
[01:25] <Hadron> msingh: with Feisty 7.04 yes
[01:25] <Hadron> msingh: I strongly recommened the NVidia ones. They work great.
[01:25] <msingh> jrib, nah im using debian but considering whether to change to another distro .. ive got terrible video performance so i'd like to use company drivers
[01:26] <jrib> msingh: system -> administration -> restricted driver manager  will let you enable them after you install.  But I'm sure you can install nvidia drivers on debian as well...
[01:26] <YamiTenshi> any other ideas on what my problem might be? or how I can find out?
[01:26] <Hadron> jrib: I doubt if its easy. It hwas hard enough in Last Ubuntu releases - all sorts of kernel version issues.
[01:26] <wam> msingh: btw, they just released new drivers, my laptop stopped freezing (nvidia 7600)
[01:26] <msingh> jrib, nah i couldnt. i installed a bunch of packages but it was all fucked up due to one incompatibility after another
[01:26] <JohnnyBe1> hey guys does anybody knows a linux application that can modify pdfs (i.e. underlying text while reading, an acro pro equivalent)?
[01:27] <jrib> YamiTenshi: so what was the last thing it said before it crashed?
[01:27] <Hadron> YamiTenshi: so your driver is set to vesa now?
[01:27] <JohnnyBe1> sorry! i did not mean to interrupt...
[01:27] <jrib> msingh: I see, well it's managed by the gui in ubuntu now, you just check a box
[01:27] <YamiTenshi> the last thing it said was "Starting up...", and how can I find out wether or not the driver is set to vesa?
[01:28] <msingh> jrib, ok sweet. well when i get my cds i will give ubuntu a shot. cheers.
[01:28] <YamiTenshi> (driver in xorg.conf is set to nv, is that it?)
[01:28] <Hadron> YamiTenshi: boot to recovers mode ad loko at /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:28] <Hadron> "and look"
[01:28] <|thunder> whats that good vector app for linux ?
[01:28] <jrib> |thunder: inkscape
[01:28] <YamiTenshi> xorg.conf says "nv" at driver
[01:28] <|thunder> thaks
[01:28] <Hadron> change that to vesa
[01:28] <kblog> can anyone tell me whats the difference of a "local group" and "domain group" for openSSH is?
[01:29] <YamiTenshi> hadron: ok :)
[01:29] <msingh> so ubuntu isnt stupid about licences, is it? will i be able to install /vlc/ /win32 drivers/ /opera/ etc?
[01:29] <YamiTenshi> thanks for the help, I'll try, but now I have to go :)
[01:30] <jrib> msingh: w32codecs and opera aren't packaged.  vlc is in "multiverse" (where unfree stuff goes).  medibuntu repos have w32codecs.  opera you just install a deb I think
[01:30] <jrib> !multiverse > msingh (see the private message from ubotu)
[01:30] <jrib> !medibuntu > msingh (see the private message from ubotu)
[01:30] <jrib> !opera > msingh (see the private message from ubotu)
[01:30] <msingh> ah ok, that's bad
[01:30] <Hadron> !multiverse > Hadron
[01:30] <Sjimmie> !w32codecs
[01:30] <ubotu> Seveas has a popular 3rd party repository for several packages, including the win32 codecs: see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - See also !Codecs
[01:30] <lbawinowns> Hello, I can't write to a file, I dunno why, it's on a ntfs
[01:30] <jrib> lbawinowns: are you using ntfs-3g?
[01:31] <Hadron> lbawinowns: because its a read only FS by default.
[01:31] <lbawinowns> jrib, yes, and the file is 0 bytes
[01:31] <ckintner> ckintn3r
[01:31] <Sjimmie> lbawinowns: is it mounted using CIFS?
[01:31] <lbawinowns> hadron , I can write to everything else files
[01:31] <Hadron> aha
[01:31] <lbawinowns> sjimmie , what is CIFS?
[01:31] <Hadron> so you can create and edit other files on this NTFS or what?
[01:31] <Sjimmie> mount.cifs - mount using the Common Internet File System (CIFS)
[01:31] <travis> ~
[01:32] <lbawinowns> hadron , Yep, I can
[01:32] <Hadron> can you remove the file?
[01:32] <lbawinowns> Hadron , nope
[01:32] <Hadron> copy the file?
[01:32] <kayef> i have music files with chinese title.....how do i display them in ubuntu 7.04?i'm using Rythm Box as a player
[01:32] <EoLink> wow, first time here, nice to meet you all. seems like a pretty nice channel.
[01:33] <lbawinowns> Hadron, but I can remove the other files in the same foler :-/, the file was created by lazarus, it crashed and then created the file with 0 byte :-/
[01:33] <Hadron> it sounds like it might be in use.
[01:33] <lbawinowns> hadron, nope, i cant copy it
[01:34] <lbawinowns> Im doing it with the GUI, and when I drag and drop nothing happens, no message comes even.
[01:35] <Ratkid132> in text files with a command does a hash # at the start mean ignore this line?
[01:35] <lbawinowns> should I try  to remove the folder?
[01:37] <Hadron> lbawinowns: try the ubuntu forums.
[01:37] <nox-Hand>  I am having serious harddisk trouble  :-| Can't mount properly and I sometimes get superblock errors. I need to mount to know which partitions are what for when I am installing for I need to keep a few partitions.
[01:37] <nox-Hand> I have a pastebin here if anyone wants to help me? http://pastebin.ca/498393

[02:07] <iShock> LjL: Thats the problem...I dunno where to go to configure it...
[02:07] <acrimo> jrib: i hear it comes with PHP5, but to enable it i need to add something to the "configure line"... that's where i'm stuck at the moment

[02:11] <jrib> dormant: why would you compile binutils?
[02:11] <iShock> ROAR...
[02:11] <iShock> Ok, i found the config file, but it won't let me paste it
[02:11] <LjL> iShock: it won't let you paste?
[02:11] <dormant> well. i downloaded binutils 2.17 from GNU.
[02:11] <Dodo> by default, gcc is not installed on 7.04
[02:11] <jrib> dormant: are you familiar with APT?
[02:12] <iShock> No
[02:12] <LjL> !info binutils feisty | dormant, 2.17, see

[02:12] <dormant> jrib: no. but i have it installed.
[02:12] <LjL> iShock: i'm not sure what you mean with that though
[02:12] <Riot777> I got lil problem why first login attempt always fail for me ? it has something to do with numlock ? anybody got similar problem ? when I first time type my login on GDM first letter I typed is always missing like the first keyboard event would be not pass or something, how can I fix this?
[02:12] <iShock> LjL: I right clicked the example conf file, went to /usr/lib/eggdrop and tried to paste. I couldn't select Paste.
[02:13] <jrib> dormant: when you install things on ubuntu, you want to use a frontend to APT like apt-get, aptitude, synaptic, or add/remove.  Just do "sudo aptitude install binutils" and you'll get binutils.  Even better, you probably just want to do "sudo aptitude install build-essential"
[02:13] <jintxo> has anyone seen this problem before? I can write CD-RW disks fine and  regular CD-R's fail with  Errno: 0 (Success), write_g1 scsi sendcmd:no error (yes DMA is enabled) :-(
[02:13] <jrib> !apt > dormant (see the private message from ubotu)
[02:13] <dormant> ubotu: thanks. but then I still need gcc in that case. I need to compile various SDK's and libs
[02:13] <phake> hello, i got one problem mit my radeon x1950, this is my xorg.conf: http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/10905/ but my it runs only as MESA. i the Xorg.0.log i saw this: (WW) fglrx: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:4:0:1) found  does any body have some ideas?
[02:13] <jrib> dormant: you don't need to compile things in general, you just use APT and it takes care of things.  build-essential gives you binutils as well as gcc
[02:14] <LjL> iShock: err ok, you meant copying the file. when i think "paste", i usually think of copying and pasting selections of text.
[02:14] <LjL> iShock: it won't let you copy it there, of course, because /usr is owned by root, and you can't (and shouldn't) write to it as a user.
[02:15] <iShock> How am I supposed to do it then?
[02:15] <LjL> iShock: since your eggdrop bot will be your user's, anyway, you want to have a user-specific configuration file, which means you want it to be put in your /home directory.
[02:15] <Dodo> HOW to use scilab's graph function?
[02:15] <dormant> jrib: thanks hehe. ok I'll try. I'll throw back in, if I don't manage
[02:15] <iShock> LjL: So it doesn't really matter where the conf file is, it'll work anywhere?
[02:15] <phake> hello, i got one problem with my radeon x1950, this is my xorg.conf: http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/10905/ but my it runs only as MESA. in the Xorg.0.log i saw this: (WW) fglrx: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:4:0:1) found  does any body have some ideas?
[02:15] <LjL> iShock: well, you have to start the bot with appropriate parameters.
[02:16] <jrib> dormant: sure, just remeber 'apt-cache search lib name_of_lib' and then review the results, and install the one you want.  You private message from ubotu should have more details
[02:17] <JaySomnium> Hadron : Thank you !
[02:17] <LjL> iShock: "man <commandname>" tells you all about command parameters. i also seriously suggest you learn what root is and why most directories are only writable by it. that means Unix permissions, and the Unix security model in general. you won't want to run something as potentially compromising as an IRC bot without knowing what you should not do in order for people not to break into your machine.
[02:18] <phake> hello?? kann anybody help me?
[02:18] <phake> i got one problem with my radeon x1950, this is my xorg.conf: http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/10905/ but my it runs only as MESA. in the Xorg.0.log i saw this: (WW) fglrx: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:4:0:1) found  does any body have some ideas?
[02:18] <iShock> LjL: I know what root is, I'd kinda figured out it was because I couldn't right to it as a user, and I still can't figure out the trigger....So I'll use the readme on this one :O
[02:19] <S0me1> hi all
[02:19] <spi> hi there, does anyone know some tool to monitoring cpu temperature?
[02:20] <iShock> LjL: You know much about configuring Eggdrop?
[02:20] <dappis> are you using gnome?
[02:20] <stefg> phake: please stop repaeting and read http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Troubleshooting instead.
[02:20] <jrib> spi: lm-sensors
[02:20] <LjL> iShock: i know that everything one needs to configure is carefully explained in the sample config file
[02:20] <ppd> it.org
[02:20] <iShock> LjL: I'm just wondering: Do I get a bind IP and stuff if I got an IP 64.255.118.*
[02:21] <spi> jrib: tx you very much
[02:21] <iShock> #set my-hostname "virtual.host.com"
[02:21] <iShock> #set my-ip "99.99.0.0" I set those...But how do I know my hostname?
[02:22] <iShock> Wait, nevermind...
[02:22] <iShock> IP OR Hostmask ;O
[02:22] <dormant> jrib: ok. up to now, everything worked. But yet another question: I need libusb, so I downloaded libusb-0.1.12.tar.gz. It says that I have to compile the package. with gcc? Or can I install the lib with aptitude too?
[02:22] <LjL> iShock: "If you're using virtual hosting (your machine has more than 1 IP)" suggests that you may want to leave that all alone, if you don't.
[02:22] <S0me1> Who is tried install ubuntu on iBOOK Mak ? is everthing working fine?
[02:23] <jrib> dormant: you don't need to compile libusb, just search for it with aptitude or apt-cache.  I'm guessing you want to do development with libusb, so you'll want the libusb-dev package.  I sed this command to find it: apt-cache search -n lib usb dev
[02:23] <stefg> S0me1: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ
[02:25] <dormant> jrib: K. thanks alot, Its quite a bunch easier as I thought. I'm glad that people are eager to help! thanks
[02:26] <martalli> Hello - I installed ubuntu on my computer (prev kubuntu), but there is no desktop search that I can find.  Maybe this is because I didn't change my /home partition
[02:26] <martalli> What is the CLI command for ubuntu's default desktop search?
[02:26] <kanzie> Im having problems running WoW using wine, is anyone familiar with this?
[02:26] <stefg> kanzie: rather ask in #winehq
[02:26] <kanzie> stefg: ok
[02:27] <yobrien> martalli: beagle-query
[02:27] <martalli> kanzie: If you google - you will find that there is an extensive forum post abut WoW, wine, and ubuntu in one of the ubuntu forums
[02:27] <martalli> yobrien: Thanks
[02:28] <martalli> yobrien: Hmm, for some reason it wasn't installed.  Is it not installed by default?
[02:28] <yobrien> martalli: what do you mean by "desktop search"? ....
[02:29] <martalli> yobrien: I meant beagle
[02:29] <kbrooks> what is an ideal partition layout if you want /home on another partition?
[02:29] <ryan2_> Im trying to upgrade to ubuntu studio with the repo but I dont get all the packages
[02:29] <yobrien> martalli: i dont think is installed by default....
[02:29] <yobrien> it is
[02:29] <kbrooks> ryan2_: #ubuntustudio
[02:30] <ryan2_> k
[02:30] <martalli> yobrien: It isn't installed on my relatively fresh install of ubuntu.  I looked in synaptic and saw bealge and also something called doodle for desktop search
[02:30] <variant> aliask: no idea
[02:30] <spiderfire> hi i how can i get libgtkglextmm into ubuntu
[02:30] <yobrien> martalli: i dont know if its default or not ... but beagle is fairly integrated into the desktop
[02:30] <variant> spiderfire: search for it and install the correctly named package
[02:31] <spiderfire> variant: its not in the repo though right?
[02:31] <spi> jrib I installed lm-sensors,but I can't find executable files to it, where I have to see?
[02:31] <variant> spiderfire: might be named something else
[02:31] <nuu> kbrooks: generally you can go with /, /home, swap. optionally, /usr
[02:31] <variant> spiderfire: apt-cache search gtkgle
[02:31] <martalli> yobrien: It was installed with every other feisty install I had made.  Hmm, well its installed now =)
[02:31] <spiderfire> variant tired
[02:31] <spiderfire> tried
[02:31] <kbrooks> nuu: swap 256 mb, what about the rest?
[02:32] <yobrien> martalli: if you use the deskbar applet you can get a spotlight (for mac os x) like search thing
[02:32] <nuu> kbrooks: depends really on how much space you have on your disk :)
[02:32] <jrib> spi: you get "sensors-detect" and "sensors".  You run sensors-detect first
[02:32] <kbrooks> nuu: 20 gb
[02:33] <spiderfire> variant: i dont think its in the feisty repo
[02:33] <spi> jrib: Ok tx you
[02:33] <variant> kbrooks: /usr doesn't need to be on a seperate partition. it has benefits for those that would have special situations or wanted it on a seperate drive. for a standard desktop i would have / 6GB /swap 512mb /home all the rest
[02:33] <nuu> i'd say give /home most space. but don't forget packages get installed under /usr (/usr/share), so bear in mind that'll be space taken from /, or from /usr if you decide to give it a separate partition.
[02:33] <jrib> spi: there are some gui frontends too, but i don't about them.  xsensors and ksensors
[02:34] <joe4444> my ipod database has been "corrupted" in that it now shows only 1 album even though all the files are actually still there, and somehow Rhythmbox has the full database... how can i wipe the ipod clean in order to restore all my music manually?
[02:34] <iShock> Ok, I'm dual-booting with Feisty Fawn and Vista: How do I make it so I can keep Ubuntu up, use Vista, then just switch back and forth?
[02:34] <spi> jrib ok I'm looking about them, tx
[02:34] <RivaeAerya> Can anybody help me? Web videos don't play, i just get a black screen. The codecs are alright, and if i download em i can play em, but i can't see them from thebrowser plugin. It's totem-xine-firefox-plugin by the way. Can anybody please help me?
[02:34] <LjL> jrib: for KDE, just ksysguard alone can read the sensors (ksensors is a bit eccentric). perhaps some standard tools in gnome can do the same? gnome-system-monitor or whatever?
[02:35] <kbrooks> variant: 6 gb fits me anyway, because i don't think i will download too much  as an average user / average developer
[02:35] <jrib> LjL: no idea, sensors doesn't work on my mobo
[02:36] <RivaeAerya> Anybody?
[02:36] <Cyber_Stalker> hey

[02:37] <dappis> RivaeAerya: movies and videos on linux are still hard to conf, but you could try mplayer and mozilla-mplayer
[02:37] <Cyber_Stalker> quick question, im typing "make" to try and compile source as directed by a read me, but when i type make i get the error "make - command not found"
[02:37] <Cyber_Stalker> any reason for this?
[02:37] <jrib> Cyber_Stalker: what are you compiling?
[02:37] <dappis> just uninstall previous plugins to avoid conflicts
[02:37] <RivaeAerya> dappis: that player isn't supposed to work? oO
[02:37] <Cyber_Stalker> an app called airfart
[02:37] <mwe> Cyber_Stalker: install build-essential
[02:37] <variant> kbrooks: well you might want 3/4/500 mb swap, if your compiling software then it might actualy get used
[02:37] <dappis> mplayer works for me :)
[02:37] <Cyber_Stalker> hah build essention

[02:40] <dappis> but it's bad when there's too many options
[02:40] <variant> dappis: why? use what you prefer who cares if there are others
[02:40] <tom_> hey guys what so i do with a .jar file
[02:40] <variant> dappis: rubbish
[02:40] <kbrooks> dappis: you can apply that to too much linux distributions.
[02:40] <dappis> I'd like 1-3 GOOD programs which would just work
[02:40] <tom_> run it from the cli?
[02:40] <Frogzoo> dappis: development effort maps somewhat losely to user base, so it's not such an issue
[02:40] <mwe> dappis: and in windows there are a gazillion players
[02:40] <variant> tom_: run it with java
[02:41] <variant> tom_: "java filename.jar"
[02:41] <xipietotec> how do you change the font color of gnome-panel?
[02:41] <dappis> mwe: that's also true
[02:41] <Gerro> Anyone know how to play a .rmvb file in totem?
[02:41] <kbrooks> variant: you mean java -jar filename.jar
[02:41] <variant> dappis: maybe it should be illegal to develp more software... as long as 2 - 3 options exist then further development should be illegal...
[02:42] <variant> kbrooks: yes, indeed
[02:42] <Frogzoo> xipietotec: right click - properties
[02:42] <kbrooks> variant: no, it should not be illegal.
[02:42] <Frogzoo> variant: good call - I'm for it
[02:42] <Gerro> xipietotect: check in your home directory using ls -a for any hidden gnome directories then look for config file
[02:42] <xipietotec> Frogzoo, I did, there's no option to change *font* color.
[02:42] <ProN00b> wait, there are nics that do no support ipv6 ??
[02:42] <variant> kbrooks: of course not.. see !sarchasm
[02:42] <dappis> variant: don't heat up :)
[02:43] <Frogzoo> xipietotec: how right you are - hmmm, maybe there's an x resource for it
[02:43] <Gerro> ProN00b: ipv6 isn't even in support now its still and has always been experimental and just recently came out, it is a sick joke that firefox includes dns support for it on by default
[02:44] <Gerro> ProN00b: oh and they found out how its possible to do massive scale ddos attack with ipv6 on scales never even heard of before
[02:44] <variant> Gerro: many networks now support ipv6 and that will only increase until the eventual switchover
[02:44] <Gerro> variant: I fear the time that comes...
[02:44] <lonran> hi everybody
[02:44] <lonran> a good and light program to create an image from a dvd?
[02:44] <leninIdebian> lonran: k9copy
[02:44] <variant> Gerro: and that is something that will be a total non-issue in the 2 or 3 years when it is more wide spread. and at the momment it is only a matter of not enabling a small feature to make that insecurity void
[02:45] <stefg> lonran: dd :-)
[02:45] <variant> Gerro: anyway, this is !offtopic
[02:45] <leninIdebian> variant: i heared this 2 or 3 years before
[02:45] <Gerro> variant: no reason ipv4 cant have a +2 added to it, all this extra jizz on the protocol is a waste, its perfectly on topic he was asking about linux support of ipv6
[02:46] <variant> lol
[02:46] <iShock> /server irc.swiftirc.net
[02:46] <ProN00b> Gerro, thats bullshit, ipv6 hasn't been deployed enough to allow anything on "massive scale", implementations are already fixing that flaw, which even if it had anything to it would need quite some technical expertise to pull
[02:46] <iShock> Err....
[02:46] <Gerro> ProN00b: yes but once it is deployed it will, on private networks it has been tested and has huge flaws
[02:47] <Gerro> ProN00b: soon as I see maybe least one non ipv6 fanatic then I might think about it but so far just bunch of DL freaks hoping for some more speed
[02:47] <variant> !offtopic ProN00b, Gerro, we should discuss this in #ubuntu-offtopic as it is no longer an ubuntu support issue
[02:47] <phake> http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Troubleshooting didn't helped me :((
[02:47] <spi> jrib: hmm I tried to start sensors-detect and sensors but seem that I need to mount additional modules....
[02:47] <variant> !offtopic | ProN00b, Gerro, we should discuss this in #ubuntu-offtopic as it is no longer an ubuntu support issue
[02:47] <ubotu> ProN00b, Gerro, we should discuss this in #ubuntu-offtopic as it is no longer an ubuntu support issue: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[02:48] <jrib> spi: yeah, sensors-detect should tell you what you need and print it out
[02:48] <spi> jrib: I have to mount these modules with modprobe?
[02:48] <spi> jrib
[02:48] <jrib> spi: yeah, this time.  In the future you just add it to the file it tells you to
[02:50] <phake> hello, can somebody help me? my radeon x1950 will only run in MESA-Mode. troubleshooting was already done. this is my xorg.conf: http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/10905/
[02:50] <spi> jrib Ok, It shows me which modules has to be installed but named with long description.... and no with its real module name
[02:51] <spi> jrib I can look them on internet? what about this?
[02:51] <leninIdebian> phake: best help is to buy a nvidia device
[02:51] <cnez0red> Is there a ppc version of feisty?
[02:51] <phake> leninIdebian: but ati must also run under ubuntu ...
[02:51] <ciem> hello
[02:51] <SpectralDesign> if I use gtkpod, can I point it at the iTunes folder from my WinXP install, or would it cause corruption or other problems? (I'm using fuse to mount said partition RW)
[02:51] <dappis> cnez0red: at least you cannot download one
[02:52] <ciem> can I have a question, eh?
[02:52] <jrib> spi: the last thing the sensors-detect script should output is some stuff to add to /etc/modules.  That should contain the name of the modules
[02:52] <theDtTvB2> Hello, I see that my WLAN device doesn't show in the network-admin anymore. Can anyone help me?
[02:52] <cnez0red> dappis you mean there is one, but I can't have it?
[02:52] <jrib> !ask | ciem
[02:52] <ubotu> ciem: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[02:52] <stefg> !ppc | cnez0red
[02:52] <ubotu> cnez0red: 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
[02:52] <ciem> first question and I've been doomed already
[02:52] <ciem> :-P
[02:52] <dappis> cnez0red: you cannot download a PPC iso-image and burn it
[02:52] <rasky> oi
[02:52] <jrib> ciem: :)
[02:52] <phake> leninIdebian: it seems that nobody knows how to set up ati devices?
[02:52] <dappis> you could download earlier version of ubuntu and try to upgrade manually

[02:53] <cornell> Can anybody help with a wifi problem?  I've a fresh install of feisty, on a thinkpad with a belkin F5D070 usb wifi (revision 1, Broadcom, I think).  When it first started up, it recognized the belkin and reported the SSID, so I've received  something.  I mucked about a bit, and eventually the gnome network (with exlamation point) icon turned into a bars icon.  Still show 0 signal (it's 5 feet from the ap).   I've changed the access po
[02:53] <spi> jrib ok
[02:53] <ciem> nvm, I wanted to know which wifi router will be the best for ubuntu? I mean, which router wouldn't make any problems,  you know..
[02:53] <leninIdebian> phake: me not, i got an ati device in my lap, but switched to radeon driver because fglrx took to much time
[02:54] <dappis> it's better to stick with a ppc-version of dapper because it's supported longer than edgy
[02:54] <cnez0red> thanks.
[02:54] <phake> leninIdebian: so you think to install radeon driver is much faster and easier?
[02:54] <Xpcontact> Hello
[02:54] <stefg> phake: i gave you a link on a troubleshooting howto. But it's a known fact that ATI neither opensources their driver, nor are able to provide a really working one
[02:55] <Xpcontact> got problem while installing ruby on rail in ubunutu
[02:55] <leninIdebian> phake: its easier, but you can't do the fancy beryl 3d stuff
[02:55] <mwe> leninIdebian: doesn't it suck not having any 3d accelleration, though?
[02:55] <leninIdebian> mwe: why? I dont play games!
[02:55] <phake> stefg: yes thanks for that link but it didnt help me ... i have donw this troubleshooting but there are still the same problems
[02:56] <rambo3> better then having atis 3d that slows down computer
[02:56] <mwe> leninIdebian: well if you don't need it I see the point ;)
[02:56] <Xpcontact> anyone could help me about to install ruby on rail ?
[02:57] <leninIdebian> phake: if fglrx is not going imediatly you are going to spend really lots of time for troubleshooting
[02:57] <jrib> Xpcontact: "rails" is packaged in universe
[02:57] <Xpcontact> jrib i am new user of linux
[02:57] <phake> it was working ... but after reboot it only runs with MESA
[02:57] <Xpcontact> so i do not understand what  that means +
[02:57] <phake> i dont know why
[02:58] <LjL> !software > Xpcontact    (Xpcontact, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:58] <jrib> Xpcontact: do you know about APT?
[02:58] <Xpcontact> apt-get ?
[02:58] <ciem> jrib: nvm, I wanted to know which wifi router will be the best for ubuntu? I mean, which router wouldn't make any problems,  you know..
[02:58] <LjL> Xpcontact: APT is the Ubuntu packaging system, apt-get is just a frontend for it - but yes
[02:59] <jrib> ciem: I see.  I don't know though
[02:59] <Xpcontact> so what I do ?
[02:59] <leninIdebian> ciem: http://toh.openwrt.org/
[02:59] <jrib> Xpcontact: have you enabled the universe repository?
[02:59] <LjL> Xpcontact: enable Universe, and then install that "rails" package using Synaptic, apt-get or your preferred front-end
[02:59] <ciem> oh, thanks jrib
[02:59] <Xpcontact> because I always get error ;
[02:59] <Xpcontact> ~$ sudo ruby setup.r
[02:59] <Xpcontact> sudo: ruby: command not found
[03:00] <LjL> Xpcontact: that would be unsurprising if you don't have ruby installed. also, why in the world are you running a ruby script as root...?
[03:00] <LjL> ciem: try asking the bot about "wifi" and/or "hardware", should have lists of stuff that work
[03:00] <Xpcontact> :D
[03:01] <Frogzoo> it seems the default environment disables core dumps (ulimit -c = 0) where is this set ?
[03:01] <Xpcontact> LjL, this is my second time in life touching ubuntu :D
[03:01] <Frogzoo> !docs | Xpcontact read all about it
[03:01] <ubotu> Xpcontact read all about it: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com
[03:01] <Xpcontact> so how can I fix that or what i have to do ?
[03:01] <LjL> Xpcontact: well, if you don't want to have to install it a third, a fourth and a fifth time, please keep very well in mind that you should *never* do *anything* as root unless you know perfectly what you're doing - except for calling the package manger. let the package manager handle things.
[03:02] <Xpcontact> Ubotu, I wish my eyes could stand and read all those documents :D
[03:02] <LjL> Xpcontact, we told you. enable Universe first. the link from the bot explains how
[03:02] <Xpcontact> ok wait I will read that
[03:02] <Tushar> what application available to convert my vinyl tape to CD
[03:02] <LjL> Xpcontact, System / Administration / Software Source if i'm not very mistaken (i don't use GNOME). it isn't that hard.
[03:02] <Pelo> Xpcontact, start whith this one then for installing stuff  http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/
[03:03] <jrib> Frogzoo: I think /etc/security/limits.conf
[03:03] <Pelo> LjL, system > admin > synaptic pakcage manager actualy
[03:03] <zLinux> wow
[03:03] <Tushar> Pelo: what application available to convert my vinyl tape to CD
[03:03] <orbin> vinyl ... tape?
[03:03] <zLinux> hi
[03:04] <stefg> Tushar: that's quite a complex task, look at ubuntustudio for remastering audio
[03:04] <zLinux> how to update packages in ubuntu?
[03:04] <SpectralDesign> have you considered Audacity, Tushar?
[03:04] <Frogzoo> jrib: cheering, thanks mate
[03:04] <zLinux> what's the Most Official way to update packages in ubuntu?
[03:04] <LjL> Tushar: "vinyl tape"? :)
[03:04] <mwe> what the heck is vinyl tape? ;)
[03:04] <xipietotec> okay, I found a fix for the panel....how do I change the color of the background of the little popup "hover" panels and notification daemon popups?
[03:04] <Pelo> Tushar, I would guess you coiuld do it by pluggin the tape deck in to the MIC port of your sound card and use the sound recorder in the default app,  and thenn use sound converter to comvert to a decent format
[03:04] <LjL> Pelo: mic?!
[03:04] <Pelo> Tushar, but I make no promisses , I've nemver done this
[03:04] <ZeroA4> zLinux, sudo apt-get upgrade or via system - update manager
[03:04] <Pelo> microphone
[03:04] <LjL> you connect that stuff to line-in
[03:04] <LjL> not to mic
[03:05] <Tushar> Pelo: i have creative sound card
[03:05] <Pelo> LjL,  I said it was a guess
[03:05] <boubbin> how to mount a .nrg ?
[03:05] <Tushar> Pelo: can i record them to my HDD
[03:05] <LjL> Tushar, is this tapes, or is this vinyls?
[03:05] <zLinux> ZeroA4, which one is best?
[03:05] <SpectralDesign> Tushar, if you have a semi-pro mixing board, you can use a card like the Echo Mia with Ubuntu to do high quality recording
[03:05] <Xpcontact> LjL if ruby is installed how can I call it ? or how to excute it ?
[03:05] <Pelo> Tushar,  you'll be recording to a file
[03:05] <LjL> Pelo: careful, it could ruin your soundcard to use mic like that (unlikely, admittedly)
[03:05] <zLinux> ZeroA4, and more guaranteed to work well?
[03:06] <LjL> Xpcontact: "ruby" will not give you a "command not found" error. try just typing "ruby".
[03:06] <Xpcontact> ok
[03:06] <Tushar> Pelo: i have vinyl cassette
[03:06] <Xpcontact> LjL in the terminal or  where ?
[03:06] <LjL> Tushar, i haven't the slightest idea what a vinyl cassette would be. discs are made of vinyl, cassettes are magnetic, to the very best of my knowledge
[03:07] <Tushar> Pelo: i wanna save all songs from there to my HDD
[03:07] <LjL> Xpcontact: in the terminal
[03:07] <Pelo> Tushar,   vinyl or cassette, they are different tyings,    vynils are flat platic disks
[03:07] <Xpcontact> LjL look : $ ruby
[03:07] <Xpcontact> bash: ruby: command not found
[03:07] <LjL> and the two should be treated quite differently when recording
[03:07] <LjL> Xpcontact: then you still don't have it installed (are you running Feisty, by the way? i wouldn't think so)
[03:07] <Xpcontact> Feisty :D I don't know
[03:07] <LjL> Xpcontact: have you enabled Universe yet?
[03:08] <Gerro> anyone know how to play rmvb files? I think it has something to do with real player codecs
[03:08] <LjL> Xpcontact: type  lsb_release -a  and paste the output
[03:08] <LjL> Xpcontact: actually, i meant pastebin
[03:08] <LjL> !pastebin > Xpcontact    (Xpcontact, see the private message from Ubotu)
[03:08] <Tushar> Pelo:yes yes  cassettes  (magnetic)
[03:08] <Pelo> Tushar,  plug your tape recorder in the line in port of your sound card,  star the sound recorderapp in ubuntu applications audio/video,  start the playback,  then edit the recording into single songs,
[03:08] <Xpcontact> LjL look: lsb_release -a
[03:08] <Xpcontact> LSB Version:    n/a
[03:08] <Xpcontact> Distributor ID: Ubuntu
[03:08] <Xpcontact> Description:    Ubuntu (The Breezy Badger Release)
[03:08] <Xpcontact> Release:        5.10
[03:08] <Xpcontact> Codename:       breezy
[03:09] <Tushar> Pelo: can i save them to mp3
[03:09] <Pelo> Tushar,  you can convert them to mp3 after you have recorded them
[03:09] <lathiat_> Xpcontact: sheesh tahts a bit old ;p
[03:09] <ZeroA4> zLinux, both are garanted... only the first is text mode and the second graphical
[03:09] <Tushar> Pelo: ok, firstly i have to save them to my HDD
[03:10] <AlbertoP> hi
[03:10] <Pelo> Tushar, yes
[03:10] <spi> jrib Ok well done, I'm watching my device temperatures!! thanks you!
[03:10] <LjL> Tushar: ok then just connect the cassette deck to your soundcard's line input, and either use a generic audio editor, like Audacity, to record, or use some more specialized software like gramofile, or use the two together
[03:10] <jrib> spi: great
[03:10] <LjL> !info audacity > thushar | this is a quite good audio recorder/editor
[03:10] <LjL> !info gramofile > thushar | this is for recording from vinyls, so make sure you UNselect vinyl-related options, but it allows you to automatically split tracks (which can certainly come handy)
[03:10] <Xpcontact> lathiat_ what I have to  do ?
[03:11] <Tushar> Pelo: okay thanx for your kind help  :)
[03:11] <ompaul> Xpcontact, breezy is no longer supported
[03:11] <Pelo> Tushar,  say thnks to ljl to
[03:11] <LjL> !info wavsplit > tushar | and this is a separate splitter for wav files, that can work with any sound recorder if you saved as .wav
[03:11] <dappis> Xpcontact: you could upgrade to dapper, I'm sure the web has plenty of upgrade instructions
[03:12] <Tushar> LjL: thanx :)
[03:12] <Xpcontact> ompaul , ok what I do  then to fix the situation ? I am ready to re install ubunutu if need :D
[03:12] <MindOfChaos> So
[03:12] <ouarza> je suis sous xchat
[03:12] <ompaul> Xpcontact, download fiesty or dapper and start there
[03:12] <LjL> Tushar: when when you have the .wavs, you can use any standard CD burner to make an audio CD, or rip to Ogg
[03:12] <zLinux> Update Manager VS. CLI APT-GET to update packages?
[03:12] <LjL> !fr | ouarza
[03:12] <ubotu> ouarza: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[03:12] <MindOfChaos> when are they going to add select boxes to screensaver selection in Ubuntu?
[03:12] <zLinux> which one is more reliable?
[03:12] <MindOfChaos> It would be simple to do
[03:12] <jrib> zLinux: same thing
[03:12] <MindOfChaos> But they havn't done it
[03:12] <Xpcontact> ompaul any link that I do not take something wrong ?
[03:12] <LjL> zLinux: update manager
[03:12] <MindOfChaos> so you are not stuck with one or random screensavers
[03:12] <cornell> Can anybody recommend a wifi divice for ubuntu feisty that works out of the box?  USB preferred, but PCMCIA ok?
[03:13] <Tushar> LjL: do you have any idea hows the sound quality
[03:13] <dappis> 1. make a backup of your /etc/apt/sources.list 2. change all breezy > dapper 3. sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
[03:13] <ompaul> Xpcontact, www.ubuntu.com will allow you download either disk and from there you can progress, just given the additional hardware support I would look at feisty
[03:13] <mwe> cornell: prism based cards I think
[03:13] <cholera> what dir should I use when compiling software,or does it matter?
[03:14] <rlj> i had hibernation working wonderfully here before in feisty. however, my swap partition recently got some bad clusters so i recreated it (still hda6) and it's clean now, but it has a new uuid of course and now hibernation won't work anymore. i updated /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume with the new uuid for the partition and did update-initramfs -u and a restart, but it won't help. the computer does hibernate but fails to resume from the partition afterwards.
[03:14] <rlj> ideas?
[03:14] <jrib> zLinux: if you upgrade between releases, then update-manager is preferred.  For daily updates I don't think it really matters
[03:14] <LjL> Tushar, it all depends on the quality of your sound card. certainly it won't improve from the cassette quality, which is not very good at all to start with ;)
[03:14] <cornell> mwe: how about orinoco gold?
[03:14] <mwe> cornell: I don't know. I'd check the hardware compatiblity list
[03:14] <Pelo> Tushar,  you can select the quality to record with in most programs  but the easiest will be for you to record as a .wav file I beleive wich is exact, then you can select the quality when you convert
[03:14] <Tushar> LjL: okay
[03:15] <tommy_> play OGG
[03:15] <cornell> mwe, where's the hardware list?  Wiki, search hardware list?
[03:15] <nailbiter> cornell: The best place to check for hardware support would probably be Jean Tourrilhes' list
[03:15] <ompaul> Xpcontact, after that you can install ruby but first upgrade
[03:15] <nailbiter> cornell: I think it's at http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux
[03:15] <Pelo> tommy_,  with all thelove I have for OGG it is not playable on every device yes
[03:15] <mwe> someone point cornell to the hardware compatibility list, please
[03:16] <mwe> !hardware | cornell
[03:16] <ubotu> cornell: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[03:16] <Pelo> mwe,  is there such a list ?   try asking in #hardware
[03:16] <Rafolins> hello
[03:16] <Pelo> he
[03:16] <nailbiter> Xpcontact: You can also perform an in-place upgrade without re-installing, but it's not guaranteed to work.
[03:17] <saud> Ubuntu <---- the best
[03:17] <Paddy_EIRE> Pelo, you dont sleep much do you:)
[03:17] <tommy_> yes - but maybe in future i will be able to put an OGG cd/dvd into my player and it WILL run ;)   <<BTW HATE DRM>>
[03:17] <Pelo> Paddy_EIRE, I got my 8 hrs,  , I just keep an eye on the channel while doing other computer related, stuff
[03:17] <Xpcontact> mmm I am trying to find my way in all those page :( but people here you should think for new user that they do not understand everything what is written there
[03:18] <Paddy_EIRE> Pelo, the 8hrs thing is a myth
[03:18] <nailbiter> Xpcontact: Well, here are the instructions for a 6.10 -> 7.04 upgrade: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading
[03:19] <Xpcontact> ok that s good one and easy :D
[03:19] <nailbiter> Xpcontact: For 6.06 -> 7.04, it's a bit trickier: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/UpgradeFromOldVersion
[03:19] <Xpcontact> thank you
[03:19] <jintxo> has anyone seen this problem before? I can write CD-RW disks fine and  regular CD-R's fail with  Errno: 0 (Success), write_g1 scsi sendcmd:no error (yes DMA is enabled) :-(
[03:19] <dappis> Xpcontact: here's a simple way 1. make a backup of your /etc/apt/sources.list 2. change all breezy > dapper 3. sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
[03:19] <Xpcontact> nailbiter thank you it start to download
[03:20] <Xpcontact> but last night when I wanted to upgrade it , while restarting i lost the graphical screen
[03:20] <Xpcontact> so i had to re install ubuntu
[03:20] <Xpcontact> i am afraid that will happen again
[03:20] <nailbiter> jintxo: What software do you use to record discs? The "cdrecord" command-line tool?
[03:21] <Gerro> nailbiter: I use xfburn
[03:21] <Pelo> Xpcontact, that happens to me to,  upgrade is not 100% relaiible yes,  thats'swhy I keep my /home folder on a seperate partitions, so I can resinstall at will and not worry about my data
[03:21] <jintxo> nailbiter, doesn't matter. right now I'm using cdrecord to burn an ISO, yes. same command burining to a cd-rw has worked OK so I'm not sure where the problem could lie
[03:21] <Gerro> nailbiter: seems most use k3b
[03:22] <Xpcontact> so I risk to get the same problem today ?
[03:22] <dappis> Xpcontact: if you don't have valuable data it's best to repartition (reformat and resize partitions) and make a clean install with dapper of feisty
[03:22] <Gerro> jintxo: if that app doesn't work I used isorecorder to burn all my stuff
[03:22] <nailbiter> Xpcontact: There are some simple recovery steps you can try if the GUI doesn't appear. But for now, good luck on your upgrade. :)
[03:22] <Xpcontact> I did format my computer and now I start again
[03:22] <dappis> dapper (long-term support) or feisty (newest, shiniest and best hardware-support)
[03:23] <Xpcontact> i have no valuable data so far :D as I do not trust that I can manage in ubuntu
[03:23] <jintxo> Gerro, thanks I'll give it a go some time :-) I don't want more coasters for the time being, lol
[03:23] <nailbiter> jintxo: I'm not sure, either. :-/ I've only seen this happen on really old CD recorders, and even then they just refused to record any disc
[03:24] <Xpcontact> nailbiter could you please give me link how to recover the GUI ? because if i happen I wont be able to get help from here
[03:24] <nailbiter> jintxo: By the way, you can always use the "-dummy" switch to do a dry run (with the write laser turned off)
[03:24] <dappis> keep in mind that dapper is still supported for over 2 years (ending summer '09), while feisty is supported only until october '08
[03:24] <Pelo> Xpcontact, you can boot the live cd and install xchat on it that will let you contact us at will
[03:24] <jintxo> nailbiter, yeah it is kind of odd. I burn dvd's OK with the thing too, so maybe it's just the media, but I really doubt that. I'll see about dummy. cheers.
[03:24] <dappis> and dapper server-version has still >4 years of support
[03:25] <OuZo> how do i check my CPU current clock speed in the terminal? thanks
[03:25] <nailbiter> Xpcontact: You can try running "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" at the command line as a first step
[03:25] <Xpcontact> good i write it down
[03:25] <yahoo9020> hello at all
[03:26] <nailbiter> Xpcontact: Oops, make that "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg".
[03:26] <haru> how do i mount an ext3 partition with write access to users?
[03:26] <Xpcontact> nailbiter ok :)
[03:26] <jrib> haru: you set permissions using chmod/chgrp just like any other part of /
[03:26] <jrib> !permissions > haru (see the private message from ubotu)
[03:27] <haru> jrib, i used chmod 777 but it still dint make the mount writable
[03:27] <jrib> haru: you did that after it was mounted?
[03:27] <haru> yeah
[03:28] <jrib> haru: ls -ld /path/to/the/mounted/partition      what is the output?
[03:28] <imon9> heloo..good day everyoen, is there anyone free and willing to guide me on simple thing as setting up my usplash screen? i am getting either plain text or the progress bar with "usplash-theme-ubuntu" ..i actually wanted something like this https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/book/book/ubuntubook-ch6-html/6-1.png (default of the liveCD)
[03:28] <_plume0> haru: check /etc/fstab
[03:28] <haru> drwxrwxrwx 3 777 root 4096 2007-05-20 15:16 /media/StoraG3/
[03:28] <ph8>  is it possible to use google talk with gaim anyone?
[03:28] <cholera> if I sudo echo "0x7fffffff">/proc/sys/kernel/shmmax I get  /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax: Permission denied Is there something I did wrong?
[03:28] <haru> ph8, yeah theres a tut on the gtalk site
[03:28] <jrib> haru: touch /media/StoraG3/some_random_file_name_that_does_not_exist_there
[03:28] <imon9> ph8: goodgle toalk , i think can but with jabber support (no voice though)
[03:29] <boguh> what do i have to install to use a gl desktop?
[03:29] <jrib> cholera: the redirection is done by the shell, which only has user permissions.  use tee instead:  echo "0x7fffffff" | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
[03:29] <nailbiter> imon9: The splash screen is actually embedded in the initrd (a ramdisk that's loaded at boot time to kickstart the system).  So you should make sure 'usplash' and the usplash theme are installed, then regenerate the initrd with: "sudo update-initramfs -u"
[03:29] <imon9> is there anyone to guide me on setting up my usplash screen? i am getting either plain text or the progress bar with "usplash-theme-ubuntu" ..i actually wanted something like this https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/book/book/ubuntubook-ch6-html/6-1.png (default of the liveCD)
[03:29] <haru> jrib, this is weird.. i can make files using console.. however the paste option wont turn up in nautilus
[03:29] <dfgas> ok when my girlfriend sign into ubuntu, how do i get it to load up some file shares without having to put password in for sudo?
[03:30] <gnubie> OuZo,  cat /proc/cpuinfo
[03:30] <jrib> haru: press "reload"
[03:30] <jrib> !effects > boguh (see the private message from ubotu)
[03:30] <haru> jrib, thanks.. i feel stupid
[03:30] <jrib> haru: well I consider that a bug...
[03:30] <cholera> jrib: thanks, that worked
[03:30] <nox-Hand> Anyone want to help me with big hard disk troubles?
[03:30] <OuZo> gnubie: thanks
[03:31] <Pelo> dfgas,  you mean you want to give her access so some of your folders ?
[03:31] <imon9> nailbiter: okay,, i run the command and it says updating my kernel
[03:31] <Pelo> dfgas, within ubuntu ?
[03:31] <imon9> nailbiter: so is that all? i can restart and see it now?
[03:31] <nailbiter> imon9: Yes. Try restarting
[03:31] <Pelo> nox-Hand, we need specifics
[03:32] <imon9> cool...thanks...i will restart and see if it works
[03:32] <kbrooks> need help
[03:32] <Pelo> kbrooks,  need info
[03:33] <nox-Hand> Pelo: Basically, I think I have major superblock troubles and I cannot mount any of then for some odd reason. I have a pastebin here with fdisk partition table print and attempts at mounting: http://pastebin.ca/498393
[03:33] <kbrooks> ubuntu livecd freezes on 15%
[03:33] <kbrooks> of detecting partitions
[03:33] <kbrooks> 7.04 livecd
[03:33] <kbrooks> did integrity check, OK
[03:33] <dfgas> Pelo, well from my machine using samba
[03:34] <Pelo> nox-Hand, I'm not gonna be the one to help you with this but stating your problem like that periodicaly will give you a better chance of getting the help you need
[03:34] <dfgas> ubuntu to ubuntu
[03:34] <nox-Hand> Pelo: I have asked three times posting complete info witin last four hours ;)
[03:34] <Pelo> dfgas,  try asking in #samba, I think it's just a matter of using a keyring or someting like that I'm not big on networking    you could check in here   http://book.opensourceproject.org.cn/distrib/ubuntu/unleashed/
[03:34] <erUSUL> nox-Hand: mount -t ext3 etc
[03:35] <quantum_bit> Hi Folks, what is the channel for the translators team?
[03:35] <Ace2016> Hi all, how do i stop modules being loaded, and how do i get some to autoload, i tried editing the initrd file and editing   /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist   but it had no effect, also modifying   /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6   had no effect in what modules where autoloaded, can someone help me???
[03:35] <nailbiter> kbrooks: Try hitting Alt-F2 (or Alt-F3) to see a log of kernel messages as the LiveCD boots
[03:35] <Pelo> nox-Hand,  the ppl in this channel are volunteers,  users like you with different skillsets, some one probably knows you just hve to catch him/her at the right time  , you can also try in ##linux
[03:35] <nox-Hand> Indeed, thanks Pelo
[03:36] <Gerro> Ace2016: what driver are you trying to install? by modules do you mean services or drivers?
[03:36] <dfgas> Pelo, is there a file on start that you can put commands to do on boot up
[03:36] <tidrion_> I'm liking feisty fawn but the network manager keeps disconnecting from my wireless at random and it will never recover, I have to reboot
[03:36] <Pelo> kbrooks,   step back to the desktop,  prepare your partitions manualy using  menu >system > admin > gnome partition edtor,  then ,in the install, when you get to the partitioning part  use manual and assign the partitions yourself
[03:36] <yukari> /connect irc.hanirc.org
[03:37] <Gerro> dfgas: you mean do commands as root during bootup? try rc.local
[03:37] <berent> nox-Hand : Pelo atleast talks with some sense . There are some like seveas here who are completely uncivilised!
[03:37] <Ace2016> Gerro: well i'm trying to stop sis_agp from being loaded on boot and for nvidia_agp to be loaded, i modified the initrd file and included nvidia_ago in it, i do not know how to stop sis_agp being loaded and for nvidia_agp to be loaded instead
[03:37] <Pelo> dfgas,  yes I think it's the keyring thinging but I donT know about stuff like that,  try aking in #samba maybe they can better help
[03:37] <nailbiter> Ace2016: You need to add a line like "blacklist sis_agp" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist. "sis_agp" by itself won't work
[03:37] <Ace2016> i also included nvidia.ko in the initrd file
[03:37] <kbrooks> (01:35:32 PM) nailbiter: kbrooks: Try hitting Alt-F2 (or Alt-F3) to see a log of kernel messages as the LiveCD boots # confused. i meant installing from livecd to hd
[03:37] <minsu> hi~
[03:38] <nailbiter> Ace2016: "/etc/modules" is the traditional place to list modules that should be loaded at boot
[03:38] <Pelo> berent,  that is not what I said at all,  do not put words in my mount
[03:38] <ezE> is there an SQL / C channel????
[03:38] <imon9> nailbiter: no good, the usplash does apper to be this: (http://blog.yumdap.net/uploads/techie/usplash_normal.png) only plain text
[03:38] <Vaio__> hey someone here that could give me a hand with grub?
[03:38] <nox-Hand> berent: rofl
[03:38] <Pelo> ezE,  would  #mysql help ?
[03:38] <hotti> eze: #sdl?
[03:38] <Gerro> Ace2016: yeah use blacklist file that should stop it
[03:38] <hotti> uh, i misread it :D
[03:38] <Pelo> Vaio__,  what do you need
[03:38] <imon9> vaio_ wat is that u need with grub?
[03:38] <ezE> thanks guys
[03:38] <feiy> somebody use the ubuntu gutsy?
[03:38] <Pelo> Seveas, thanks for not prooving my point
[03:39] <graynder> Hello there :)
[03:39] <kbrooks> Seveas: so, he avoided a ban. OK. wow.
[03:39] <haluzak> hi people, i already installed beryl and when i try to load some theme nothing happens...does anyone know how to fix it?
[03:39] <Vaio__> i installed ubuntu studio b ut i cant boot the system,i need to pop the install cd in and choose "boot from hard disk" otherwise and without the disk i get the error message "no operating system found"
[03:39] <Pelo> feiy,   try asking in #ubuntu+1
[03:39] <Ace2016> Gerro:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21685/  << this is my /etc/modprobe.d/blackist within the initrd file
[03:39] <feiy> thanks to Pelo
[03:39] <Seveas> kbrooks, look at the bantracker. He's rather abusive
[03:39] <modulus> hi hi. any clues why ubuntu might not be detecting usb peripherals automagically on the front usb ports of a computer but on the back it does?
[03:40] <Ace2016> Gerro:  i also added the cpufreq stuff because this is an athlon xp which i don't think supports it
[03:40] <joe4444> is it possible to automate iPod playlist creation with Rhythmbox?
[03:40] <imon9> anyone can tell me where to get the usplash like LiveCD? http://blog.yumdap.net/uploads/techie/usplash_normal.png
[03:40] <_plume0> modulus: (don't laugh) they may not be connected
[03:40] <Xpcontact> when I installed the update do i have to restart the computer  ?
[03:41] <modulus> _plume0: they are connected, they work on windows.
[03:41] <Vaio__> Pelo, u read my question?
[03:41] <Seveas> imon9, that's a really old one (pre-edgy)
[03:41] <kristjan_> how to create shared folders with virtualbox?
[03:41] <Ace2016> Xpcontact: sometimes. for stuff like xorg and gnome/kde u might have to but for something like inkscape you don't
[03:41] <Pelo> Vaio__, was it adressed to me ?
[03:41] <Seveas> imon9, the usplash theme used there would need to be ported to the newer usplash
[03:41] <_plume0> modulus: hmm.. they might be usb 1.1, and the rest usb 2.0..
[03:41] <Xpcontact> so now back to installing ruby proble
[03:41] <Ace2016> so can anyone help me with the blacklisting of modules?
[03:41] <Vaio__> no i didnt highlight u.want me to ask again?
[03:41] <Vaio__> Pelo, i installed ubuntu studio b ut i cant boot the system,i need to pop the install cd in and choose "boot from hard disk" otherwise and without the disk i get the error message "no operating system found"
[03:42] <imon9> seveas: but i like this one since it shows the textline is more beautiful than plain text and more informative than just simple prograss bar
[03:42] <Pelo> !grub | Vaio__  reinstalling grub
[03:42] <ubotu> Vaio__  reinstalling grub: 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
[03:42] <imon9> seveas: do u know how i can install that particular usplash? it is used in LiveCD anyway :)
[03:42] <mbutUbuntu01> hello folks
[03:42] <modulus> _plume0: say that they are usb 1.1. Does this mean autodetection won't work with them?
[03:42] <mbutUbuntu01> i have a very very important question
[03:42] <kbrooks> I would like to copy the Ubuntu live cd to hard drive instead of using install directly, because install freezes the entire system up at 15 percent
[03:42] <kbrooks> mbutUbuntu01: ask
[03:43] <mbutUbuntu01> why ubuntu doesn't have /etc/inittab ???
[03:43] <Seveas> imon9, ah, if you just want the text, remove the word quiet from the kernel command line in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[03:43] <kbrooks> mbutUbuntu01: because it has a new init system, iirc
[03:43] <kbrooks> !inittab
[03:43] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about inittab - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:43] <_plume0> modulus: not if the device requires usb 2.0
[03:43] <kbrooks> drat
[03:43] <mbutUbuntu01> where is the conffile that decide the runlevel??
[03:43] <imon9> ok..but if i want the artwork as well?
[03:43] <stillocean> ?list
[03:43] <Seveas> mbutUbuntu01, runlevels are an obsolete idea
[03:43] <modulus> the devices in question are usb flash drives, should work with 1.1, right?
[03:44] <Seveas> mbutUbuntu01, Ubuntu never really used them anyway
[03:44] <modulus> nonetheless they don't bring up the new folder automatically.
[03:44] <kbrooks> Everyone, what channel is best equipped to answer my question of the livecd?
[03:44] <Pelo> kbrooks,  we are
[03:44] <kbrooks> Install freezes the system up at 15 percent.
[03:44] <kbrooks> no mouse
[03:44] <mbutUbuntu01> Seveas, why ubuntu ha rc.X ???
[03:44] <kbrooks> no keyboard
[03:45] <mbutUbuntu01> they are runlevels!!!!!
[03:45] <Seveas> mbutUbuntu01, because the new init is not completely finished
[03:45] <mbutUbuntu01> Seveas, so??
[03:45] <Seveas> it now runs in 'sysvinit compatibility mode'
[03:45] <Ace2016> Anyone know how i can blacklist modules???
[03:45] <kbrooks> grrr.
[03:45] <mbutUbuntu01> Seveas, if I want to modify my runlevel, what must I do??
[03:45] <OuZo> how can i browse my phones memory card over blue tooth? thanks
[03:46] <Seveas> mbutUbuntu01, rethink what you really want to achive and do it the proper way
[03:46] <kbrooks> I want to reinstall my Ububuntu, but it freezes up at 15 percent, okay? So what do I do?
[03:46] <mbutUbuntu01> Seveas, may I tell you in private??
[03:46] <Pelo> kbrooks,   I told you to prepare your partition ahead of time before procceding with the instal,  that usualy helps,   otherwise try the alternate install cd , it is text base usualy runs a lot smoother
[03:46] <Seveas> Ace2016, add 'blacklist foo' (without quotes, replace foo with the module name) to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-personal
[03:46] <Seveas> mbutUbuntu01, sure
[03:46] <feiy> somebody have readed the bug report:https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/115403
[03:46] <imon9> nevermine, thank anyway, i found it at gnome-look.org
[03:47] <modulus> noone else can help with the disimilar treatment of USB ports?
[03:47] <kbrooks> pelo: I don't have any blank cds with me at all. Also, I'm in the live cd right now, and downloading the alt install cd in the live cd would be stupid
[03:48] <Ace2016> Seveas: i tried adding blacklist sis_agp to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist but it did not work, do you know why, it was added to the modproble file in the initrd image, i wanted it blacklisted right at the start since the initrd contains the sis_agp.ko file
[03:48] <modulus> kbrooks: copying the Live CD isn't a good answer.
[03:48] <Pelo> kbrooks,  then   prepare your partitons before proceeding with the install
[03:48] <kbrooks> pelo: ?
[03:48] <skurlat> #ubuntu-fr
[03:48] <joe4444> anyone use Rhythmbox with iPod?  it's displaying incorrect Year info...but only for songs on the iPod
[03:48] <kbrooks> pelo: I'm not sure what you mean.
[03:49] <joe4444> i checked the ID3 tags and they are unaltered, so it seems to be a problem with Rhythmbox incorrectly building the iPod's database
[03:49] <Gerro> joe4444: set your ipods time?
[03:49] <kbrooks> pelo: once again, i am in the live cd right now. do you completely understand?
[03:49] <joe4444> Gerro, yes
[03:49] <Pelo> kbrooks,   are you in the live cd desktop right now ?
[03:50] <Gerro> kbrooks: use fdisk command on your hard drive
[03:50] <kbrooks> pelo: i told you that i am
[03:50] <Pelo> kbrooks,   menu > system > admin > gnome partiton editor , assuming you are in the ubuntu live cd and not the kubuntu one
[03:51] <kbrooks> pelo: iirc i already prepped them, unsure but ill check
[03:51] <Pelo> kbrooks,  let  me know when you have the gnome partition editor opened
[03:52] <kbrooks> pelo: ok.
[03:52] <kbrooks> pelo: everything seems prepped
[03:52] <Pelo> kbrooks,  clear all thespace you want to use for ubuntu  (execpt for the aprtitons for the home folder if you made a seperate one )
[03:54] <kbrooks> Pelo: what about swap?
[03:54] <Pelo> kbrooks,  we''ll be making a new one
[03:54] <joe4444> Gerro, it seems to be assigning random numbers to specific dates... 2005 = 11051, 2003 = 10320, 1967 = 62707, 1968 = 63072
[03:54] <mphill> I am trying to create a banner for a graduation, are there any open source applications that exist for something like this?
[03:55] <MrC_> #ubuntustudio
[03:55] <Pelo> kbrooks,  now you'll want the partitons so look something like this
[03:56] <Pelo> kbrooks, accept the file
[03:56] <annimar> can anyone please tell me the correct procedure to propose Banshee as the standard music player in Gutsy?
[03:56] <joe4444> also, is it possible for Rhythmbox (or any linux app) to build iPod playlists automatically?  i want to get Artist - Album playlists built on the fly based on the mp3 tag info when i copy music to the iPod
[03:57] <MrC_> hi there does any knows any good mp3 to ogg converter?
[03:57] <LjL> MrC_, it's a bad idea to do that
[03:57] <strabes_> joe4444: you mean like smart playlists?
[03:57] <MrC_> why?LjL
[03:57] <joe4444> strabes, i suppose
[03:57] <DavidHKMrPowers> is it easy to run linux on two computers as clustering?
[03:57] <modulus> transcoding is bad, but you could use audacity, or pipe lame and oggenc.
[03:57] <LjL> MrC_: rip to Ogg directly if you can, or keep your MP3 files otherwise. lossy-to-lossy conversion results in very perceivable quality loss in general.
[03:57] <albert> "Package gtk+-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path" which package provides this library?
[03:57] <strabes_> joe4444: don't know about rhythmbox but amarok has those built in. You can copy them onto your ipod too.
[03:58] <Seveas> DavidHKMrPowers, depends on your definition of easy :)
[03:58] <MrC_> ok thx LjL
[03:58] <Pelo> mphill,  I guess ir realydepends on what you want the banner to be and how you want to go about it ,   gimp will let you create gaphics of any size ,  and you can probably have some tipe fo tiled printing in it
[03:58] <Seveas> and on your definition of clustering
[03:58] <joe4444> strabes, in windows i used a program called Anapod which would generate playlists based on folder patterns such as \Artist\Album\ == "Artist - Album"
[03:58] <Frogzoo> DavidHKMrPowers: it's easier than some other solutions
[03:58] <Pelo> kbrooks,   accept the file I am sending you
[03:58] <DavidHKMrPowers> Seveas want one computer to run as primary pc and the other one running as sec but replace the primary transparently if it handed
[03:59] <Seveas> DavidHKMrPowers, using things like MPICH is easy. Loadbalancing is not that hard either, using keepalived for instance
[03:59] <joe4444> strabes_, is amarok only for KDE?
[03:59] <Seveas> DavidHKMrPowers, that's too vague, could you be a bit more precise?
[03:59] <Frogzoo> joe4444: runs great on gnome
[03:59] <siloko> hi guys i'm having cron issues . . .
[03:59] <DavidHKMrPowers> Frogzoo easy?
[04:00] <DavidHKMrPowers> Seveas does it need any external hardward components?
[04:00] <Pelo> siloko,  I have learned some cron things recently, what is your issue ?
[04:00] <siloko> i have a cron job set up  to run a script as root which mounts an external usb drive and mirrors my current live system to it
[04:00] <Frogzoo> DavidHKMrPowers: easy enough, depending on your app
[04:00] <strabes_> joe4444: you can install kde apps in gnome but you'll have to download some KDE libs and amarok will take longer to start up. IMO it's the best music app on linux right now.
[04:00] <siloko> so it is mounting the drive but doesn't seem to be running the rsync commands
[04:00] <siloko> even though they are listed in auth.log . . .
[04:00] <Pelo> siloko,  ok that is way over my head
[04:00] <Seveas> DavidHKMrPowers, making an entire OS transparently take over is hard if not impossible. What exactly do you want to achive? Better uptime for websites?
[04:01] <strabes> joe4444: just run "sudo aptitude install amarok"
[04:01] <MrC_> Do you know how to install Songbird on Ubuntu?
[04:01] <Frogzoo> DavidHKMrPowers: the difficulty is if you have to track any state during failover
[04:01] <siloko> Pelo: ok :)
[04:01] <Pelo> siloko,  it might jsut be a matter of giving it the right command format, try withthe full path
[04:01] <joe4444> strabes, Add/Remove did the trick :)
[04:02] <siloko> Pelo: full path given in the command - it is obviously runing the shell script but failing on the rsync commands, but i don't know why . . .
[04:02] <Pelo> siloko,  or try working fromthis,  I need to add a command like this to run a simple kill  0 1     * * *   kill $(pgrep -f gdesklets)
[04:02] <DavidHKMrPowers> Seveas yes, better uptime :) 100% uptime
[04:02] <Pelo> siloko,  and like this to run a graphical app   0 1     * * *   kill $(pgrep -f gdesklets)
[04:02] <Frogzoo> DavidHKMrPowers: is this for a web server or a database or what?
[04:03] <Chameleon22> I just installed ubuntu 6.06 LTS on an intel based server (which I inherited, hence don't know the exact hardware) with SCSII and RAID...  Install completes successfully but on boot I get "Grub disk error" - from reading forums i assume its do with grub thinking that raid controller is the a disk... But non of the solution work. Any ideas about how I can boot the damn thing without using the rescue disk?
[04:03] <Pelo> siloko,  I mean like this  export DISPLAY=:0 && gdesklets
[04:03] <DavidHKMrPowers> Frogzoo this is for an email server
[04:03] <haru> whats the best way to message linux/windows systems from linux
[04:03] <Seveas> DavidHKMrPowers, simply have a backup MX and you're done
[04:03] <Pelo> siloko,  also consider putting your cmmand inside small bash script and triggering that instead
[04:03] <Seveas> mailservers don't need 100% uptime
[04:03] <Frogzoo> Chameleon22: if you've got a hardware raid as your boot disk, you'll need to use lilo afaik
[04:03] <siloko> Pelo: thats what I do :)
[04:04] <Pelo> siloko,  and the script works on it's own ?
[04:04] <Chameleon22> Frogzoo,  hardware raid?
[04:04] <siloko> Pelo: the shell script is several mount/rsyns/unmount commands, which have been tested thoroughly
[04:05] <DavidHKMrPowers> Seveas backup mx is for mail server only?
[04:05] <Chameleon22> Frogzoo, bah, i meant to ask - how come I can't get it going with grub?
[04:05] <Frogzoo> DavidHKMrPowers: pretty easy - cluster for nfs for redundant storage & a bunch of mail server front ends - very straightforward
[04:05] <Seveas> DavidHKMrPowers, correct
[04:05] <Pelo> siloko, might be a question of enviromement ,  with that export command in the second exemple,  try searching the forum for "running a batch script in cron"
[04:05] <DavidHKMrPowers> there is a web interface for web mail, so 100% is better...
[04:05] <siloko> Pelo: ok thanks
[04:05] <Frogzoo> Chameleon22: I don't think grub's up to it - all the raid howtos say lilo for hardware raid
[04:05] <Seveas> DavidHKMrPowers, for that you can use heartbeat/keepalived as failover mechanism
[04:06] <Chameleon22> Frogzoo, ok, will give it a try - nothing to loose anyway. Thanks. Next question: Do I just apt-get lilo and purge grub or is there a particular sequence of things that I need to do?
[04:06] <DavidHKMrPowers> Frogzoo so, i need two a clustering for the frontend to make it 100% up?
[04:06] <Ayabara> Should connecting a kubuntu laptop to an lcd tv via vga be plug n' play?
[04:07] <Pelo> siloko, this is a totaly unedducated guess  but try this   : export SHELL=:0 && /path/script.bin
[04:07] <DavidHKMrPowers> Seveas can give me some terms which i can search in wikipedia?
[04:07] <Seveas> DavidHKMrPowers, keepalived, heartbeat, virtual ip
[04:07] <Frogzoo> DavidHKMrPowers: you can do it with 2 boxes, but easier if you separate disk from the email services
[04:08] <joe4444> strabes, i don't see the type of smart playlist i want...
[04:08] <Frogzoo> DavidHKMrPowers: for one thing, you don't have to distinguish between local & remote disk

[04:12] <cy_`> i am trying to do an unattended-install-cd for ubuntu.. now i have several different xorg.conf files which get dropped in pleace depending on the VGA card and stuff.. now. i know that my script works flawless, because after the install for example the driver "fglrx" is in place.. but.. when i start ubuntu for the first time.. ubuntu seems to "fix" that issue by modifing the XkbLayout, Driver and Resolution part of my xorg.conf .. how can i disable that ?
[04:12] <cy_`> .....
[04:12] <Pelo> ferronica,   when you run  pppoe.conf  it should ask you which card to use
[04:12] <haru> Buggz, tried preferences->sound

[04:13] <Buggz> in Default Mixer Tracks, yes.  In sound playback , no
[04:14] <vox754> Aurorius, that is the way Ubuntu works, it is a feature not a bug.
[04:14] <ferronica> Pelo: but somewhere etho is residing in my computer
[04:14] <Pelo> ferronica, that's the one then,   eth0 is probably just the left over from the old one and eth1 is the new one it currently sees,  use that as a default
[04:14] <CHINASKI> hi room
[04:14] <Aurorius> vox754: i thought it is supposed to ask for my root password ?

[04:23] <vox754> Aurorius, well, the "first" user needs to have administrative privileges in order to set up things. And even then, you are not root the whole time. If you are worried you can create a second user without those privileges, and log in to the first user when you want to do other stuff.

[04:46] <noobdude> that was easy
[04:46] <Pelo> kbrooks,  why do you have part 4 and 5 nested like that ?
[04:46] <Pelo> sorry
[04:46] <vox754> hocmin, just so you know, I have amd64 but use 32 bit distribution instead. I haven't followed those guides.
[04:46] <noobdude> hey, did i mention Ubuntu kicks ass?
[04:46] <dondanielo> noobdude ; sure
[04:46] <babbleback> anyone know how to turn off the notifications of users joining and leaving the channel?
[04:46] <Pelo> vox754,   why do you have part 4 and 5 nested like that ?

[04:47] <Pelo> babbleback,  check in the prefs
[04:47] <elnimr> can any body help me
[04:47] <simon_> nobody here who can help with picasa trouble?
[04:47] <hocmin> vox754, thanks for the info.  It looks like I'm still installingthe 32bit firefox anyways, which is just what I wanted
[04:47] <simon_> allready stated my question.
[04:47] <babbleback> pelo, i did.. saw how to set messages when leaving a channel but not to turn off the notification
[04:47] <dondanielo> simon_ : did you download the ubuntu package?
[04:47] <Pelo> elnimr,  it should be easy enought plugg the mic in , make sure it is working , use the sound recorder in the audio /video menu
[04:47] <simon_> yes
[04:48] <Pelo> babbleback, hold on
[04:48] <elnimr> Pelo: i tried
[04:48] <simon_> debian/ubuntu package
[04:48] <dondanielo> followed the instruction on http://picasa.google.com/linux/thanks-deb.html ?
[04:48] <elnimr> Pelo: i am still not able to record
[04:48] <ezE> can i break up the live cd to fit onto 2 cd-RWs? cd-RWs only hold 650MB instead of 700MB
[04:48] <babbleback> pelo, are your messages in red because you prefixed your message in babbleback?
[04:48] <noobdude> thanks for the unrar help people
[04:48] <Pelo> babbleback, yes
[04:48] <vox754> Pelo, that is a generic partitioning example I made to show others. It means nothing really. But, what do you mean with "nested"?   The extended partition is used to hold more partitions so instead of one I created two but you could create as many as 16, I think. It depends on your needs.
[04:49] <simon_> yes. no problem while installing. Won't run. I suspect it has something to do with graphic card or driver. But, it has worked before. very stable, until one day it crashed and stopped working
[04:49] <elnimr> any help regarding getting the mic to work will be appreciated
[04:49] <dondanielo> simon_ : start picasa with terminal, then give us the output with
[04:49] <dondanielo> !paste
[04:49] <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)
[04:49] <olimpico> Is there a command in the console to rename many amounts of file, something that is more powerful than rename or mv
[04:49] <Pelo> I just can'T remember where rigfth now , look around,,  check the xchat site ,  you'll find it eventualy
[04:49] <jrib> olimpico: what do you want to do that you can't do with "rename"?
[04:50] <olimpico> I used this command once, it started with mv??, does someone know this?
[04:50] <babbleback> olimpico, bash script or perl scripts
[04:50] <Pelo> vox754,  that is what I mean by nested, one inside another
[04:51] <Pelo> olimpico, in the terminal probably not but in gui you can install thunar it has a batch renaming applet which is very usefull and nice
[04:51] <elnimr> any help regarding getting the mic to work will be appreciated
[04:51] <olimpico> Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh I found it, is mmv!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
[04:51] <olimpico> mmv rules!!!!
[04:51] <wwwerty> How do i remove the Drives from my desktop
[04:51] <jrib> !icons > wwwerty (see the private message from ubotu)
[04:51] <Pelo> elnimr,  check in the forum and have a look in  alsamixer
[04:52] <Pelo> wwwerty, don'T mount them to  /media , or gconf-editor   /app/nautilus/desktop/  uncheck the volume one
[04:52] <danny3793> i am trying to compile a sample from CEGUI with Anjuta, and it for some reason is making a .o file and not an executable, what is wrong?
[04:52] <hocmin> vox754: the guide worked perfectly.  Thanks again
[04:52] <AzMoo> Hey, is there a way to install opera through the repos?
[04:53] <bernie_> how can i remove my cd drive to replace with dvd drive,on my toshiba satpro 4600?
[04:53] <simon_> Here is teh terminal output when i start the wine windows version http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21704/
[04:53] <simon_> I don't get any output when i start the native one
[04:53] <noobdude> hey, what is a good cd-rom burning program that comes included in Ubuntu?
[04:53] <simon_> obviously nothing wrong exept that only the mediadetector starts
[04:53] <AzMoo> noobdude, gnomebaker
[04:54] <noobdude> is gnomebaker  in the gui somewhere?
[04:54] <vox754> Pelo, suppose you create a big extended partition, like 100 GB. Then you could create like 5 or more partitions in that space, and leave the other primary partitions alone. You could resize and recreate those without affecting the others.    Nested? Partitions 4 and 5 are not nested within each other, they are just contained within the extended partition.
[04:54] <wwwerty> I changed in the gconf editor but still it is visible
[04:54] <reldor> you have to install gnomebaker first...
[04:54] <noobdude> ok
[04:54] <TOoSmOotH> k3g > gnomebaker
[04:54] <TOoSmOotH> err k3b > Gnome baker
[04:54] <jrib> wwwerty: does it show up when you do:  ls ~/Desktop
[04:54] <Pelo> vox754, they are nested in partition 3 is what I meant
[04:54] <dondanielo> simon_ : icon in the panel?
[04:55] <vox754> hocmin, feel free to document your success and come here to spread the word about it.
[04:55] <noobdude> sudo apt-get install gnomebaker
[04:55] <simon_> what?
[04:55] <simon_> yes
[04:55] <Pelo> vox754, and I understand how extended and logical partitions work
[04:55] <AzMoo> noobdude, yes. Go to applications>add Remove Programs... It'll be in there. Or you can find it in synaptic.
[04:55] <Pelo> more or less, I was just wondering why you did it in this particular instance
[04:55] <simon_> and sometimes it searches for pics
[04:56] <wwwerty> jrib: it dosent show
[04:56] <illriginal> Guys I'm trying to open a windows file (.EXE) and Wine will not even start up... I'm getting NO response from the double clicking.
[04:56] <wwwerty> Now it is gone :)
[04:56] <Pelo> illriginal,  you need to make a launche with the followign command line        wine /patth/file.exe
[04:57] <danny3793> anyone know why anjuta is making .o files instead of executables?
[04:57] <illriginal> sweet ok hold on
[04:57] <soundray> How can I enable DRI with the opensource ati driver? I'm loading the radeon and radeonfb modules & tried lots of other stuff, but can't get it to work so far.
[04:57] <ionstorm> yo what is the fastest and best way to copy a divx avi to dvdformat to disk in ubuntu
[04:58] <Arwin> hallo
[04:58] <Pelo> ionstorm,  devede first ,  then   gnomebaker fo burn the iso
[04:58] <Pelo> Arwin, hello
[04:58] <ionstorm> Pelo, devede works for divx?
[04:58] <vox754> Pelo, well, my real hard drive has like ten partitions, and like seven are nested in the extended partition. I set / and /boot at the beginning and the more volatile ones like /home at last, so I could recreate them many times depending on my needs.   But yeah, I totally got excited about this!
[04:58] <illriginal> illriginal@illriginal:~$ wine /home/illriginal/Desktop/codemajic/cbfiles.zip_FILES/CodeMajic_Manager.exe
[04:58] <illriginal> install the Windows version of Mono to run .NET executables
[04:58] <illriginal> Mono?
[04:58] <Pelo> ionstorm,  if you have the codecs installed devede will work with anything
[04:59] <vox754> !mono
[04:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mono - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:59] <LjL> !info mono
[04:59] <ubotu> mono: Mono CLI (.NET) runtime. In component main, is optional. Version 1.2.3.1-1ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 1 kB, installed size 24 kB
[04:59] <LjL> the windows version it says, though, so go google
[04:59] <dr_willis> I had mono once.. :)
[04:59] <illriginal> yeah I'm gonna have to check this out
[05:00] <Pelo> dr_willis,  you say that with tinth of regret ?
[05:00] <dr_willis> illriginal,  i also have a game tghat needs mono/.net to run right. so far not been able to figure it out.
[05:00] <dr_willis> Pelo,  makes me wonder why they picked That name for the project.
[05:00] <vox754> LjL, hey there. By the way, are you setting up a new bot? Metabot?
[05:00] <_Alessandro> ! kde
[05:00] <ubotu> KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu:  sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop , or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . Latest KDE version is 3.5.6 for Feisty and Edgy, and 3.5.5 for Dapper. See http://kubuntu.org for more information.
[05:00] <Pelo> dr_willis,  oh, ok I get it   LOL
[05:00] <Captain_Haddock> Hi, I just performed a dist-upgrade from edgy to feisty. I am having problems with Samba - I can browse other boxen on the network using Samba. But I can't browse the samba shares on this feisty box from other computers.
[05:00] <LjL> vox754: it's been there for a while already
[05:00] <Captain_Haddock> Any ideas why?
[05:01] <Pelo> Captain_Haddock,  redo your samba setting or whatever
[05:01] <Azrael---> Hey guys.
[05:01] <dr_willis> Captain_Haddock,  can you access them locally.. it may be a firewall rule.. i recall hearing others with some samba issues also.
[05:01] <mohkohn> Still having trouble with this sound. Most of the trouble shooting assumes no sound.
[05:01] <vox754> LjL, oh, first time I noticed because it was logging in and out like mad.
[05:01] <dr_willis> or the samba config got trashed.
[05:01] <Azrael---> My edgy => feisty installation has broken the X server.
[05:01] <mohkohn> I have very soft/quiet sound.
[05:01] <illriginal> yeah I gotta get this thing running in order to cheat socom 3 online :D
[05:01] <Captain_Haddock> dr_willis: as in smb://localhost ?
[05:02] <Dragnslcr> When I connect an SATA drive, what do I have to do to get the system to detect it?
[05:02] <dr_willis> Captain_Haddock,  thats one way. I tend to use smb4k
[05:02] <Pelo> mohkohn,  try looking for an answer in the forums
[05:02] <mohkohn> I put a .png of my Alsamixer output here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2688782#post2688782
[05:02] <Captain_Haddock> dr_willis: lemme give that a shot - sec
[05:02] <mohkohn> I have been for several hours.
[05:02] <Azrael---> Anybody here got experience with ATI cards & X Server?
[05:02] <JammasterJay> I have file name ABC.exe on my cdrom drive, what command do i use to open ABC.exe using terminal?
[05:02] <Pelo> Dragnslcr, it probably is detected just not mounted,    you'll need to add a line in fstab
[05:03] <mohkohn> That guy seems to be the closest to the sound problem I have.
[05:03] <Azrael---> JammasterJay: If it's a linux file, just go to the CD drive's folder, and type in ./ABC.exe
[05:03] <Captain_Haddock> JammasterJay: For a windows file you probably need to use wine.
[05:03] <Agent87> Hey everyone
[05:03] <Dragnslcr> Pelo- I tried checking /dev for sdb (my primary disk is sda), and I didn't see anything
[05:03] <Pelo> gotta go , later folks
[05:03] <JammasterJay> Going to be using wine...dont know how to 'get' to cdrom
[05:04] <Azrael---> bubi pelo.
[05:04] <mohkohn> Is it normal for the PCM to be blank like that?
[05:04] <Azrael---> JammasterJay: It's /media/cdrom on my comp.
[05:04] <Pelo> Dragnslcr,  install gparted and use that to look for your hdd's /dev/  it will make it eaiser  nice gui andall that
[05:04] <JammasterJay> ok
[05:04] <vox754> Dragnslcr, "sudo fdisk -l"  shows everything detected, usb also
[05:04] <illriginal> I can't find Windows version of Mono for ubuntu ><
[05:05] <simon_> any ideas on my picasa problem?
[05:05] <dr_willis> illriginal,  i was thinking that with wine, one would use the linux mono and wine would some how see/use it.
[05:05] <vox754> simon_, no
[05:05] <Azrael---> So then, anybody here willing to help me with my X server problem?
[05:05] <illriginal> nah I tried to open the file from the command line and I get the same error
[05:05] <simon_> well then...
[05:05] <illriginal> to install windows version of mono
[05:05] <dr_willis> illriginal,  not install the windows version of mono with wine. (but i just researched the problem a little bit) its very much a work in progress
[05:05] <illriginal> in order to open the file
[05:05] <Captain_Haddock> Azrael---: I have enough problems with my Ex as it is .. :P
[05:05] <Azrael---> :D
[05:05] <Dragnslcr> vox754- only lists sda
[05:05] <illriginal> oh man ><
[05:06] <illriginal> ugh i dont want to install windows just for this lol
[05:06] <Azrael---> I'm IRCing from irssi at the moment, because my x server won't start up at all :(
[05:06] <mohkohn> Azrael---, best just to state the facts of your problem then ask your question.
[05:06] <Azrael---> mohkohn, I have.
[05:06] <_Alessandro> Hi, i running Ubuntu how i can configure ubuntu ( i can't edit in patition NTFS ) how i can configure for modify in this pertition?
[05:06] <Azrael---> My edgy => feisty installation has broken the X server.
[05:06] <_Alessandro> ! ntfs
[05:06] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[05:06] <Azrael---> brb.
[05:06] <_Alessandro> !ntfs-3g
[05:06] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[05:06] <mohkohn> If someone knows they will get to you.
[05:07] <albert> Is anybody in here experienced in compiling the "wmCalendar" ?
[05:07] <imocanu> GKJ
[05:08] <dr_willis> albert,  isent that in the repos? why you need to compile it?
[05:08] <albert> dr_willis, well........ let me just cry for a sec
[05:08] <dr_willis> _Alessandro,  the installer can resize ntfs i belive. BUT it must be 'defragged' and 'scandisked' first. to be safe.
[05:08] <albert> i just banged my head against a wall for about 1 hour
[05:09] <Agent87> oh albert, relax, linux is supposed to be fun!
[05:09] <Dragnslcr> vox754- probably just easiest to reboot? I think my primary drive is actually plugged in to SATA5 on my motherboard, so I may want to rearrange anyway
[05:09] <albert> well, sometimes its very stressfull
[05:09] <dr_willis> albert,  what? you dident realize it was in the repos?
[05:09] <albert> dr_willis, no, not at all, can you tell me the name of the package?
[05:09] <Agent87> albert: i know close to nothing about it so its a nightmare for me!
[05:10] <vox754> Dragnslcr, yes, probably. Also you need to plug the power cables and check the bios if it is detected there.
[05:10] <wwwerty> When i set the static IP which i use with windows for ubuntu , ubuntu never gets connected
[05:10] <dr_willis> albert,  use the package manager and search for 'windowmaker' or 'wm' or similer. I wish there was a windowmaker metapackage to install all the windowmaker related tools :)
[05:10] <magic_ninja> man i need to clean up my computer some
[05:10] <albert> Agent87, it gets exciting with every day and soon enough you wouldn't want to miss it, but you loathe it at times
[05:10] <dr_willis> !find wmcalander
[05:10] <magic_ninja> i got 30 gigs for linux and i use a backup partition to store data, and my disk is full
[05:10] <dr_willis> if i can spell right, :)
[05:10] <Dragnslcr> vox754- yeah, I know the power is plugged in. I heard the drive spin up
[05:10] <ubotu> Package/file wmcalander does not exist in feisty
[05:10] <dr_willis> !find wmcalender
[05:11] <_Alessandro> dr_willis :) only for add music in partition NTFS and remove folder ! i need install ntfs-3g
[05:11] <ubotu> Package/file wmcalender does not exist in feisty
[05:11] <Agent87> albert, yeah sounds reasonable
[05:11] <arcticchill360> howdy
[05:11] <arcticchill360> whats up?
[05:11] <albert> dr_willis, thnks ;)
[05:11] <Azrael---> OK,I'm back.
[05:11] <magic_ninja> are there any good utilities that assist you in cleaning up your hard drive
[05:12] <Azrael---> magic_ninja: Like, the delete key?
[05:12] <magic_ninja> asside from format and chkdisk
[05:12] <Agent87> A message for all: if you want to take a break from troubleshooting or compiling or whatever it is you are doing, on google video look up "revolution os" its a great movie on open source and they bash windows good
[05:12] <gav616> what is the default, and how do you change the 'max half open connections' in buntu 7.04 (2.6.20.15)
[05:13] <Azrael---> magic_ninja: 'cd /; sudo rm -rf *' - most effective hard disk cleaning command there is.
[05:13] <Captain_Haddock> !samba
[05:13] <ubotu> samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[05:13] <magic_ninja> lol no
[05:13] <vox754> Agent87, that is actually !offtopic, but I'll give myself a break
[05:13] <Azrael---> :D
[05:13] <magic_ninja> dont wanna do that
[05:13] <joe4444> is the upgrade to 7.04 option in the update manager a bad idea?  should i format with a livecd instead?
[05:13] <wepeel> Is there an appropriate channel in which I can ask questions about divx to dvd transfer in Ubuntu?
[05:13] <Azrael---> I've upgraded, and now my X server's broken, joe4444
[05:13] <joe4444> Azrael---, that's what i was afraid of... so it's not very smooth?
[05:13] <Captain_Haddock> joe4444: it worked ok for me.
[05:14] <Azrael---> But that's because I've got a stupid ATI card.
[05:14] <joe4444> oh
[05:14] <saidkasim> how to install network speedtouch modem ?
[05:14] <Captain_Haddock> one step at a time.
[05:14] <Azrael---> A word of advice: If you do upgrade, and it crashing while installing, type 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to continue it from the console.
[05:14] <joe4444> Captain_Haddock, do you have Beryl?
[05:14] <Captain_Haddock> joe4444: No, I find it a waste of time :P
[05:15] <Azrael---> Beryl is fun =)
[05:15] <Azrael---> It doesn't work on my ATI card, though :(
[05:15] <gav616> what is the default, and how do you change the 'max half open connections' in buntu 7.04 (2.6.20.15)
[05:15] <vox754> Azrael---, joe4444 I think you always need to recompile reinstall your drivers ATI/nVidia  whenever you change kernels, that maybe a reason for a broken X.
[05:15] <babbleback> azreal, yea it is
[05:15] <abarbaccia> hello all - im having problems with feisty, grub and mdadm - grub won't start booting because mdadm says "no devices found in conf file"
[05:15] <Captain_Haddock> I do have it installed on another box.. I use it to convert windows users :P
[05:15] <joe4444> Azrael---, yeah everything was much easier once i got an nVidia card :)
[05:16] <Azrael---> vox: I've tried using the official FGLRX drivers, and the ATI and Radeon drivers.
[05:16] <albert> dr_willis, the wmcalendar doesn't seem to be in the repos :(
[05:16] <joe4444> vox754, would using Envy do the trick?  ...or is that not available for Feisty?
[05:16] <soundray> Azrael---: how does your X fail?
[05:16] <ahmed> hi
[05:16] <ahmed> can any one help pls
[05:16] <racquad> Hi there, I have a little question on ubuntu server mounting a external HD USB
[05:16] <magic_ninja> how do you clear the temporary files
[05:16] <ahmed> i have just installed ubuntu, can i remove gnome and install kde instead ,.. how can i ??
[05:17] <Azrael---> once the startup loading screen shows ( the very first graphical thing ) it freezes.
[05:17] <Azrael---> Then it reverts to the terminal.
[05:17] <racquad> I want to fixate that the external HD will always be /dev/sdb or something like it.
[05:17] <soundray> ahmed: you don't have to remove gnome. Just run
[05:17] <Azrael---> My ATI card registers as two PCI addresses, one for each output.
[05:17] <ahmed> soundray run.. ??
[05:17] <soundray> ahmed: you don't have to remove gnome. Just install kubuntu-desktop and choose kde at the login screen.
[05:17] <vox754> Azrael---, joe4444 just so you know, I don't have Ati or nVidia, I'm just talking about what I've read from countless users here... Try everything you can.
[05:17] <Azrael---> Which ever output I select, X always complains about the other one.
[05:17] <ahmed> yea i know but cant i install it
[05:18] <magic_ninja> ahmed: first start up ubuntu, press ctrl + alt + f1 to enter a console and type sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop then remove gnome
[05:18] <gav616> what is the default, and how do you change the 'max half open connections' in buntu 7.04 (2.6.20.15)
[05:18] <Azrael---> I've tried adding a Device section for both of them, but it still complains.
[05:18] <SamWise_TheGreat> what is faster out of an nvidia 6200 gt with the latest nvidia driver or an ati radeon x550 with the latest fglrx driver?
[05:18] <soundray> ahmed: 'sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop'
[05:18] <ahmed> how TO remove gnomee ??/
[05:18] <traherom> ahmed: just to sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop
[05:18] <Azrael---> It's not really a question of speed, SamWise_TheGreat: ATI cards work like crap under Linux.
[05:18] <soundray> ahmed: you don't have to remove gnome. I recommend that you don't even try.
[05:18] <traherom> but make sure that you have installed kubuntu-desktop before that...
[05:18] <ahmed> okay..
[05:18] <ahmed> now 1 more thing
[05:18] <traherom> otherwise you won't have a gui :)
[05:19] <Azrael---> traherom: I don't have a GUI.
[05:19] <soundray> ahmed, traherom: that command won't remove gnome
[05:19] <fawaz> what # has support for beryl?
[05:19] <ahmed> i have a realtek alc880 audio card... and i can her no sound on ubuntu
[05:19] <Azrael---> I wish I did though :(
[05:19] <YamiTenshi> hey, I have this problem: my system won't boot, except in recovery mode
[05:19] <traherom> ah, you're right
[05:19] <SamWise_TheGreat> Azrael--- so basically my ati card dosent work and if I get an nvidia card then my graphics will work?
[05:19] <traherom> my bad
[05:19] <YamiTenshi> any way to see what the problem might be?
[05:19] <soundray> ahmed: installing kde won't fix your sound
[05:19] <Azrael---> It's not certain that an ATI card won't work under Linux.
[05:19] <elnimr> I can hear sounds but i cant record
[05:20] <elnimr> ?
[05:20] <ahmed> i know
[05:20] <soundray> YamiTenshi: how does it fail?
[05:20] <hetfield_> ahmed, did you try alsamixer?
[05:20] <joe4444> is there a known sound issue with Edgy?  sometimes my sound gets really distorted but eventually "fixes itself"
[05:20] <ubuntu> i had my x300 workin at one time
[05:20] <ahmed> but do u have any solution to realtek alc880 no sound problem
[05:20] <Azrael---> But ATI's Linux driverrs are crap.
[05:20] <ahmed> wat to do with alsa mixer ?
[05:20] <magic_ninja> there is just no way i should be using 20 gigs just for the os
[05:20] <ubuntu> but is a pain
[05:20] <gav616> what is the default, and how do you change the 'max half open connections' in buntu 7.04 (2.6.20.15)
[05:20] <YamiTenshi> soundray: It just says "Starting up..." and stays like that forever
[05:20] <joe4444> i haven't noticed any kind of pattern... it'll just happen sometimes
[05:20] <fawaz> can i get help here for beryl?
[05:20] <joe4444> fawaz, try #ubuntu-effects ...i think
[05:20] <hetfield_> type alsamixer in terminal and make sure that no channels are muted
[05:20] <Azrael---> I've got sound problems too, but those are bearable.
[05:20] <fawaz> joe4444: thanks
[05:21] <Azrael---> I'm gonna go find the official X server support channel, unless anybody knows it off by heart.
[05:21] <djmccormick> is there a way to take two partitions from two different drives and mount them (merged) as one mount point?
[05:21] <soundray> YamiTenshi: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst in recovery mode. Remove all instances of "quiet splash". You will get a more verbose boot next time you try booting normally.
[05:21] <SamWise_TheGreat> djmccormick im trying to acomplish the same thing
[05:21] <Azrael---> bubi.
[05:21] <Azrael---> see you all soon.
[05:22] <YamiTenshi> soundray: not the problem - done that already
[05:23] <soundray> YamiTenshi: ubuntu normally doesn't say "Starting up..." at any point if quiet splash are disabled.
[05:23] <soundray> YamiTenshi: are you sure your changes have been effective?
[05:23] <brennus390> is there a way to convert wave layer 3 to wave layer 2?
[05:23] <YamiTenshi> soundray: maybe I did the wrong thing then... lemme check
[05:23] <SamWise_TheGreat> anybody know of a guide to installing a new bootsplash theme and grub theme?
[05:24] <soundray> !usplash > SamWise_TheGreat, please read ubotu's private message
[05:24] <jfree> i got a ? when i boot the pc it says it cant start , /bin/sh :cant access tty; job control turned off i was wondering hoew to turn job control back on
[05:24] <YamiTenshi> soundray: ah, I mistook what you said for deleting the "quiet" option, not the "quiet splash" option xD
[05:25] <jfree> sny takers
[05:25] <jfree> any*
[05:25] <BearPerson> (just to be careful)
[05:25] <SamWise_TheGreat> soundray that link uboto gave me only tells me how to do it with edgy and dapper im using feisty
[05:25] <jfree> i got a ? when i boot the pc it says it cant start , /bin/sh :cant access tty; job control turned off i was wondering hoew to turn job control back on
[05:25] <User19> how to enable tv-out (or its in i dont know well) at nvidia geforce fx 5200? im using ubuntu it was working in windows before
[05:26] <YamiTenshi> ok, changes made, rebooting now
[05:26] <soundray> SamWise_TheGreat: have you tried the edgy instructions? Feisty shouldn't be any different.
[05:26] <SamWise_TheGreat> soundray ok thanks ill give it a try
[05:26] <elnimr> i did run alsmaixer and make sure nothing is muted
[05:26] <ahmed> guys which is better , kde, gnome,xfce, xpde ?????
[05:26] <elnimr> still i cant record and hear my voiec
[05:26] <elnimr> e
[05:26] <ompaul> ahmed, depends on machine
[05:26] <soundray> !best | ahmed
[05:26] <ubotu> ahmed: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[05:26] <gav616> what is the default, and how do you change the 'max half open connections' in buntu 7.04 (2.6.20.15)
[05:26] <ahmed> u meann specs ?
[05:26] <SamWise_TheGreat> ahmed depends on your personal preferance and machine hardware
[05:27] <SamWise_TheGreat> ahmed kde needs a fast machine and fluxbox needs any machine
[05:27] <brennus390> jfree: is job control the at daemon?
[05:27] <ahmed> well core2duo 2 gb 4mb cache,, 240gb hdd sata raid,,, 1gb ram,, vga ati 256mb.. ..now which wud suit this
[05:27] <babbleback> i'd like to be able to ssh to my machines at home from anywhere on the internet, but I'm not sure how vulnerable I'd be to attacks
[05:27] <gav616> buntu server and fluxbox owns
[05:28] <ompaul> ahmed, all would, on that ~I would run gnome but others would choose kde it would not have a problem with any of them - you choose :)
[05:28] <jfree> its at start up
[05:28] <jfree> it wont boot at all
[05:28] <ahmed> which has a better gui  ?
[05:28] <brennus390> babbleback: try changing the default ssh port
[05:28] <jfree> it tries and gets to that and wants a command
[05:28] <SamWise_TheGreat> ahmed most people prefer kde
[05:28] <brennus390> jfree: are you dual booting?
[05:28] <soundray> babbleback: not very. You can disable password access and use ssh keys to login. That's very secure.
[05:28] <techjim> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21648/ -- little help with mysql.
[05:29] <jfree> brennus390 what do you mean
[05:29] <z07> which video-conference-hardware (cam, micro ...) is advisable for feisty!?
[05:29] <babbleback> soundray, would that mean that only particular machines would be able to access?
[05:29] <brennus390> jfree: is ubuntu the only OS your running on the pc?
[05:30] <jfree> brennus390 well no i have many kernels and an old xp install on there too
[05:30] <SamWise_TheGreat> how do I get earwax out of my ear that is so far down that I can't get to it and when I try to I only push it further down?
[05:30] <soundray> babbleback: yes, only accounts which have their public keys listed in your ~/.ssh/known_hosts would be able to log in.
[05:30] <jintxo> hot salty water
[05:30] <unimatrix9> use a water hose!

[05:31] <djmccormick> lol
[05:31] <babbleback> brennus390, i had planned on that but I thought people could still look for open ports and decipher what service it was
[05:31] <babbleback> brennus390, how did you know that you were getting hack attempts
[05:31] <gav616> buntu server and fluxbox owns
[05:31] <brennus390> jfree: does it look like grub is finding the stage2 loader?  or is grub hangning?
[05:31] <YamiTenshi> soundray: I don't know what difference it really makes, but deleting the "quiet splash" thing worked, thanks a lot :D
[05:31] <SamWise_TheGreat> ubuntu isn't so great as a server its more of a desktop os
[05:32] <jfree> brennus390 grub is hanging
[05:32] <unimatrix9> centos is great for server
[05:32] <soundray> YamiTenshi: strange, I didn't expect it to fix the problem, only to give you more clues...
[05:32] <brennus390> babbleback: they can, but most people do a search for open ports on well known ports...if you use an unknown port the scan will miss it
[05:32] <babbleback> soundray, i would like to do it from any machine as i might not be at a machine that i knew i'd be at
[05:32] <soundray> YamiTenshi: not complaining, of course ;)
[05:32] <unimatrix9> but the new ubuntu server is great too
[05:32] <SamWise_TheGreat> freebsd is the best for servers
[05:32] <jfree> brennus390 takes long time to do nothing
[05:32] <Crane> hello everyone
[05:32] <unimatrix9> depends on how you configure it..
[05:32] <YamiTenshi> soundray: oh well, I don't really care wether or not is't strage, it worked ^^
[05:32] <soundray> babbleback: you could take a public key with you on a USB stick.
[05:32] <ompaul> SamWise_TheGreat, how is that a ubuntu support question?
[05:32] <ahmed> guys,, on ubuntu firefox used to work greatly now i try opening it , it shows down in the taskbar starting firefox but then closes with out even showing its window plzzz help
[05:33] <Crane> How do I disable dhcp on server
[05:33] <z07> which video-conference-hardware do you use under feisty?
[05:33] <brennus390> jfree: sounds like your grub configuration isn't pointing to the correct OS loader
[05:33] <soundray> babbleback: note also the option to change the default ssh port
[05:33] <elnimr> still i cant record and hear my voiec
[05:33] <elnimr> e
[05:33] <Crane> the network is set to use dhcp and I want to set a static ip
[05:33] <ahmed> guys,, on ubuntu firefox used to work greatly now i try opening it , it shows down in the taskbar starting firefox but then closes with out even showing its window plzzz help
[05:33] <jfree> brennus390 can i fix that without installind again
[05:34] <YamiTenshi> ahmed: you sure you're waiting long enough? not too many other processes running?
[05:34] <ahmed> yes..
[05:34] <limpc> whats the name of the task manager ubuntu uses?
[05:34] <ahmed> no other process running
[05:34] <brennus390> jfree: yes...when grub starts running there is a command to interupt the loading process...this will allow you to pick your stage2 img loader...can't remember the command though
[05:34] <hetfield_> elnimr, have you tried configuring the jacks in alsamixer? set the 'rear jack' to 'mixer output'(worked for me)
[05:34] <YamiTenshi> ahmed: ok, then I can't help you... sorry
[05:34] <ahmed> i tried uninstalling then instaling again
[05:34] <ahmed> but no hope

[05:34] <traherom> limpc: gnome-system-monitor
[05:34] <ahmed> omg,, shall i reinstal ubuntu for this ?
[05:35] <soundray> ahmed: try starting from a terminal with 'firefox -safe-mode'. If it works, your problem is with an extension
[05:35] <limpc> hrm
[05:35] <jfree> brennus390 any fourms or links you know that will help
[05:35] <limpc> k thanks
[05:35] <traherom> np
[05:35] <babbleback> soundray, definatly gonna change the port, where is a good place to read about the public key
[05:35] <ahmed> nothign happens
[05:35] <soundray> babbleback: search web for 'ssh pkeck hurly'
[05:35] <brennus390> jfree: googling 'configure grub' as we speak :)
[05:36] <elnimr> hetfiled: i will try that
[05:36] <Crane> no man page for DHCP
[05:36] <soundray> ahmed: does it say anything in the terminal?
[05:36] <ahmed> no
[05:36] <ahmed> nothing
[05:36] <mar77i> trying to get cmedia 8738MX to work on ubuntu... keep failing. anyone?

[05:37] <Crane> mar77i, is that a camera or software?
[05:37] <erUSUL> !sound | mar77i
[05:37] <ubotu> mar77i: 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
[05:37] <Crane> oh lol I read that wrong
[05:37] <Azrael----> grr :(
[05:38] <brennus390> anyone know how to convert wav layer 3 files to wav layer 2?
[05:38] <mar77i> thx so far I'm looking. not hearing anything, so options are poor
[05:38] <soundray> ahmed: do this: 'killall firefox-bin ; sleep 2 ; killall firefox-bin'; then 'mv ~/.mozilla ~/mozilla-backup', then try again.
[05:38] <Crane> any good links to network how-to?
[05:38] <babbleback> soundray, what if i don't disable password access.. how risky is it then?
[05:38] <hetfield_> elnimr: once you enter alsamixer, navigate with the arrow keys right to the end(to the right); it should be there; if it's not, try and find something similar
[05:39] <dr_willis> Crane,  thats a rather broad topic. :) any specific task you trying to do?
[05:39] <Azrael----> Anybody here know where my iPod would be showing up on my comp?
[05:39] <userbn_> hi...........

[05:39] <ubotu> Azrael----: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto See !rockbox for information on liberating your iPod
[05:39] <soundray> babbleback: you'd be vulnerable to bruteforce password attacks. A password of "shrek" is very insecure, one of ",kjlasdf)(*()**^%23424###~~" is very secure ;)

[05:43] <Azrael----> Do Dillo or Epiphany support JS?
[05:43] <Toma-> dillo, links2 and amaya are all terrible

[05:45] <iShock> Can someone help me set up VMware?
[05:45] <vic_> I notice the xserver-xorg-video-ati package is a cvs version - how do I determine the date it was pulled from cvs?
[05:45] <ompaul> babbleback, I would look in the records of syslog for failures there may be other places
[05:46] <grndslm> SlimeyPete:  hot-swap as in just the drive bays?
[05:46] <Pimp1984> Anyone use ndiswrapper?

[05:48] <Pimp1984> Toma - I typed ndiswrapper in the terminal and it said the command wasn't present.
[05:48] <brennus390> mar77i: ah, figured asoundconf would still show available sound cards...not sure though

[05:49] <guycook> soundray, thanks that's what I thought too, trying to setup a xp pro VM just now and not seeing them, I'll keep googling, thanks
[05:49] <brennus390> mar77i: i assume you checked dmesg?
[05:49] <erUSUL> wikignom: i asumed that you instaled the flgrx driver using envy or following one of the guides on the net. If that's not the case i don't know what the problem is with your X install
[05:49] <Pimp1984> What do I need to do to install that then?
[05:49] <ablyss> is it normal for CUPs printing to be slow when pringing graphics ?
[05:49] <soundray> guycook: try a 'lsusb' to confirm that vmware emulates root hubs for you.
[05:49] <Toma-> Pimp1984: run 'sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils'
[05:49] <erUSUL> wikignom: you can try to reconfigure the X server with 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'
[05:50] <Pimp1984> In which directory?
[05:50] <babbleback> has anyone done the linux from scratch book?
[05:50] <guycook> soundray,lsusb at the prompt of ubutu?
[05:50] <Toma-> Pimp1984: any directory
[05:50] <soundray> guycook: yes
[05:50] <Toma-> babbleback: thats not a support question...
[05:51] <guycook> soundray, Right that shows the device, Bus 002  Device 004, thanks!
[05:51] <wikignom> erUSUL: and how do i do that? i can't even boot...
[05:51] <guycook> soundray, now I can 'tell' vmware what to use...
[05:51] <digital_k> well my upgrade from feisty to gutsy didnt go so well... :/
[05:51] <mar77i> brennus390: aplay -l returns that no sound cards are found. what do I have to look for in entries returned by dmesg?
[05:52] <pppoe_dude> hi,  how can i adjust the contrast or gamma correction on an intel i950 graphics card?
[05:52] <Frogzoo> wikignom: sys -> admin -> restricted drivers manager - check for your fglrx driver
[05:52] <soundray> guycook: can't help you on the vmware side of it, sorry
[05:52] <guycook> soundray, too late you already have <grin>  thanks much I am new to ubuntu totally,
[05:52] <Toma-> pppoe_dude: xgamma?

[05:53] <Bogaurd> how can i have iptables perform reflective nat/port forwarding, allowing internal hosts to access port 80 on the external IP (of my linux router) and have their packets forwarded to another internal host?
[05:53] <wikignom> frogzoo: i need somebody to take me by the hand, that's all gibberish to me, sorry
[05:53] <Frogzoo> digital_k: gutsy is in pieces atm, as you've discovered
[05:53] <guycook> soundray, VM settings sez that USB Controller is present .... I"m closer.
[05:53] <digital_k> Frogzoo: lol yeah pretty much...
[05:53] <artabrahao> hi, how can I install vnc server?

[05:53] <digital_k> was a learning experience

[05:54] <mar77i> brennus390: it's onboard a cmedia 8738MX on a msi kt4 ultra mainboard
[05:54] <Frogzoo> digital_k: gutsy is not released - it's alpha, whereas feisty is released & stable
[05:54] <emotion> hello, can somebody help me with my desktop effects... i used to have them working fine and had beryl running perfectly, then i messed with my xorg file and everything got screwed up and now i can't even enable my desktop effects anymore
[05:54] <digital_k> Frogzoo: I know, I wanted to see for myself ...I decided to wait a while after reinstalling Feisty.. ;)
[05:54] <Toma-> pppoe_dude: i used to simply have xgamma -gamma 1.2 as a gnome startup command on my dieing screen :)
[05:54] <Frogzoo> digital_k: heh
[05:54] <Pimp1984> Toma - it said I couldn't install ndiswrapper-utils, but I could install ndiswrapper-common. I've done that, typed 'ndiswrapper' as a test in the terminal and it says that no versions of ndiswrapper are found.

[05:55] <wikignom> erUSUL: I have. And I tried to boot with the old version.
[05:55] <pppoe_dude> Toma-, windows had a little driver applet thing to adjust contrast and gamma...
[05:56] <digital_k> emotion: explain your problem, someone will help :)
[05:56] <Toma-> Pimp1984: ahh sorry. might be 'ndiswrapper-utils-1.9' ?
[05:56] <emotion> i used to have them working fine and had beryl running perfectly, then i messed with my xorg file and everything got screwed up and now i can't even enable my desktop effects anymore

[05:57] <wikignom> erUSUL: can that be? if not, I'll look again
[05:57] <Toma-> pppoe_dude: is it a laptop?
[05:57] <pppoe_dude> Toma-, yes
[05:58] <Toma-> no contrast function buttons?

[06:00] <Azrael----> emotion: what card do you have?
[06:00] <emotion> digital_k:it shouldn't have mattered tho, all that i changed was the screen resolutions listed
[06:00] <digital_k> emotion: did you let it pick the defaults?

[06:01] <praxx>  guys I really  need some help here. Please be patient with me. My xubuntu is not working and i need it badly. My sessions start up with a bunch of apps running like gdesklets, awn, cairo clock, liferea and ff all at once resulting in a crash. My networkmanager is not starting and I have no internet
[06:01] <digital_k> emotion: you may beed to take those out.
[06:01] <emotion> digitalk: i'm not sure what i was doing... how do i reconfigure the xorg file
[06:01] <praxx> how do i default xubuntu into a default mode with nothing running but the standard startup
[06:02] <praxx> :'(
[06:02] <emotion> digitalk: and what do you mean take those out
[06:02] <Hadron> praxx which display manager are you using? With gdm, you can select a failsafe session.
[06:02] <digital_k> emotion: in terminal type :sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:02] <nko> my microphone doesn't function...can someone help me?
[06:02] <praxx> Hadron, yes gdm
[06:02] <digital_k> emotion: the resolutions you added.
[06:03] <Hadron> prax: there you go then.
[06:03] <praxx> shud i change it to something else? @ Hadron
[06:03] <emotion> digital k: yeah, fixed that
[06:03] <Hadron> praxx: no. Just select failsafe from the options.
[06:03] <emotion> digital k: but that didn't help with desktop effects
[06:03] <praxx> Hadron, .. lemme try,, brb
[06:03] <pppoe_dude> Toma-, gottta go now but thanks for the help
[06:03] <Hadron> ps gome desklets suck. They are buggy and unreliable IMO - especially the network manager one.
[06:04] <Toma-> pppoe_dude: np. sorry i wasnt much help :(
[06:04] <geox> hi there
[06:04] <soundray> praxx: go to a failsafe session as Hadron suggests. Then find out the name of your xfce config directory (I think it's .xfce). Then do a 'mv .xfce xfce-config-backup'. Log out, and login again normally.
[06:04] <emotion> digital k: ok yeah i have tried reconfiguring it before... its asking me for my x server driver, but i have no idea which one it is
[06:04] <dr_willis> i find most desktop-desklet-things to be lacking.
[06:04] <geox> what desktop recommend me :)
[06:04] <geox> xfce kde or gnome
[06:04] <sileni> my computer has a label that states "AMD athlon xp-m mobile" does this mean i download the ubuntu version 4bit AMB and Intel computers
[06:04] <dr_willis> geox,  install all 3 and try them out.
[06:04] <Tantalus> does democracyplayer work well with Ubuntu?
[06:04] <sileni> 64 bit

[06:04] <brennus390> mar77i: can't find anything specifically mentioning sound in dmesg...but i have an onboard sound card an it's loaded via module by default
[06:04] <Memories> soundray thank you it worked like a charm
[06:04] <qwertzpoiu> is it possible to install only a small grub menu on a harddrive (where no os should be installed .. but because of problems when trying to boot directly from scsi)  which then will ubuntu from a scsi disk? how to do that?
[06:05] <Frogzoo> geox: start with gnome if  you have at least 256 meg ram
[06:05] <Pimp1984> Toma - ndiswrapper is installed and I installed the wireless driver, but it won't detect the wifi network.
[06:05] <brennus390> mar77i: also, if your is onboard, what's the chance it is disabled in the bios?
[06:05] <dr_willis> sileni,  you do NOT need the 64bit disrto  in most cases. 64bit cpus can run the 32bit versions just fine.
[06:05] <Memories> im facing another problem though! my edgy isnt identifying my canon printer!
[06:05] <soundray> Memories: you've clearly got talent ;)
[06:05] <Pelo> geox,   xfce is better for older computer because it is ligther,   gnome is generaly thought easier by new users,  advance users like kde better because it lets you configure everything
[06:05] <praxx> there is no failsafe xfce.. there is gnome but no xfce-failsafe
[06:05] <soundray> Memories: what model is it?
[06:05] <james> just a stupid question here, how can I get the black window theme that ubuntu studio has?
[06:05] <geox> fast cpu
[06:05] <Toma-> Pimp1984: run 'ndiswrapper again and make sure 'hardware and software' is present?
[06:05] <sileni> dr_willis so just download the pc version of ubuntu?
[06:05] <Memories> soundray , canon i320
[06:05] <geox> oh so the best desktop is KDE ?
[06:05] <Desmaano> Hey guys, can someone explain why i get a Cycle Redundancy Check (crc) error when i move files to my home server??
[06:06] <dr_willis> sileni,  the normal 32bit version will do you fine.
[06:06] <floriakir> hey guys... i was just wondering if u recommend GNOME 4 my crappy computer. currently using xubunu (hence XFCE). i've got a Pentium 4, 2.4ghz, just 256mb ram and a 60gb hard drive. as u can guess, it is already quite slow using XFCE sometimes. so would u recommend me to make the switch?
[06:06] <digital_k> i got disconnected :/
[06:06] <sileni> dr_willis: thank you
[06:06] <dr_willis> Desmaano,  could be the hd is going out.
[06:06] <Desmaano> dr_willis: nope there brand new
[06:06] <dr_willis> Desmaano,  that dosent PROVE they are good. :)
[06:06] <soundray> Memories: feisty has more drivers for PIXMA printers than edgy. It may just be a matter of upgrading.
[06:06] <traherom> james: add deb http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/repo/ feisty non-free to your /etc/apt/sources.list and install...
[06:06] <traherom> (looking it up :>)
[06:07] <Desmaano> dr_willis: so both my hdd's (raid1) are broken ?
[06:07] <james> thank you traherom
[06:07] <mar77i> brennus390: good idea, didn't consider this. but I don't consider me that n00by. brb...
[06:07] <emotion> digital k: how do i know what so select for my x server driver
[06:07] <Pelo> floriakir,  you technicaly have enough machien to use gnome,  but it might be slow with some apps
[06:07] <dr_willis> Desmaano,  in fact theres a bit of a higher death rate in newer drives. untill they run a bit.
[06:07] <Memories> soundray , i always hear tht feisty has lots of problems conflicting with evertyhing.. so i guess ill wait it out for a while
[06:07] <Memories> anyway soundray , thanks for helping out :)
[06:07] <traherom> james: ubuntustudio-theme
[06:07] <emotion> i have a Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 GM graphics card
[06:07] <Pelo> floriakir, it's just you memory that is lacking
[06:07] <Hadron> dr_willis: stop scare mongering.
[06:07] <dr_willis> Desmaano,  its possible your raid is set up wrongly.
[06:07] <brennus390> mar77i: you don't sound like a n00b...just throwing out ideas...
[06:07] <Desmaano> dr_willis: ....
[06:07] <digital_k> Memories:that hasnt been my experience, for what its worth.
[06:07] <digital_k> Feisty is pretty solid.
[06:07] <dr_willis> Hadron,  had to return a 500gb drive just the other day dead on ariavle. :(
[06:07] <floriakir> Pelo, would u recommend me 2 get some more ram?
[06:07] <Hadron> it happens. so is life.
[06:08] <soundray> Memories: check the forums for messages related to your printer. http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting is useful, too.
[06:08] <traherom> james: oh, you might need to add the "free" component on to that
[06:08] <sileni> dr_willis: wow 500 gb thats a lot
[06:08] <Memories> thank you
[06:08] <dr_willis> sileni,  1tb drives due  out soon. :)
[06:08] <sileni> WOW!
[06:08] <Desmaano> dr_willis: there are just a few .ISO and .Rar files causes the crc error
[06:08] <emotion> can somebody help me reconfigure my xorg file?
[06:08] <sileni> dr_willis:what will someone do with that...thats alot of porn
[06:08] <Pelo> floriakir,  it is never a bad idea,  I also have a 2.4 cpu but with 1gig of a have no problem, in fact I hardly ever seem to use more then 512meg
[06:08] <digital_k> 500 gbs is alot of space, for sure.
[06:08] <Desmaano> explain
[06:08] <auridius> Hi, is it possible to customizemy desktop like those seen in the movies, or like in CSI miami. I just don't find anything on the web about it.
[06:09] <dr_willis> Desmaano,  fsck the filesystems. could be somthing  that will fix.
[06:09] <digital_k> auridius:how do you mean?
[06:09] <Pimp1984> Toma - not sure what you meant there, but I typed 'lspci' and it's listed the 'Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03)'
[06:09] <Memories> soundray once again thanks for helpign out :) ill b leaving now
[06:09] <Memories> thank you
[06:09] <Frogzoo> Memories: my experience is all the things that were annonying in edgy have been fixed in feisty
[06:09] <dr_willis> 500gb drives are just breaking the $100 price point. :)
[06:09] <james> traherom: Just refresh synaptic, right?
[06:09] <traherom> yep
[06:09] <Pelo> auridius,  csi miamy uses  HollywoodOS ,  it's a very special os,    give www.gnome-look.org a look
[06:09] <digital_k> auridius: most if not all of the interfaces you see on tv exist only on tv...lol
[06:10] <digital_k> except LCARS, now gnome can do LCARS
[06:10] <Pelo> floriakir, I donT' take /msg from ppl I donT' know talk to me in the channel
[06:10] <Toma-> Pimp1984: when you run 'ndiswrapper' in the command line, you should get some feedback saying 'hardware present' and 'software present'
[06:10] <traherom> james: just to clarify, the correct line is actually "deb http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/repo/ feisty free non-free"
[06:10] <floriakir> sry
[06:10] <auridius> digital_k: A complete makeover. I recently saw the desktop in the CSI miami, it's really cool, but what desktop environment do they run?
[06:10] <emotion> digital k, how am i supposed to know which x server driver to select
[06:10] <sileni> Pimp1984: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=340689 follow that guide it works perfectly for me
[06:10] <Pelo> digital_k, check wikipedia for hollywood os , you'll have a good laugh
[06:10] <digital_k> traherom: hes gonna need a key for that right?
[06:10] <sileni> and to see if you have the driver present type ndiswrapper -l
[06:10] <james> traherom: it's okay actually...synaptic lists the packages just fine
[06:10] <traherom> doesn't have to, but I'll see if I have one for myself
[06:11] <auridius> Pelo: HollywoodOS, that's a good one :-)
[06:11] <digital_k> emotion: Im not sure what you mean, there is only one.
[06:11] <Pelo> auridius,  not realy a joke   not in that way anyhow
[06:11] <traherom> I don't have the key, but I think there is one if you care... just search on Google
[06:11] <digital_k> emotion: sorry, I understand now.
[06:11] <emotion> digital_k, it's giving me a list to choose from
[06:11] <floriakir> Pelo: so what's the least ram u'd recommend some1 2 have in order 2 use GNOME smoothly?
[06:11] <guycook> in feisty 7.04 how do I detect my microphone for things I want to record?
[06:11] <digital_k> emotion: what graphics card do you have?
[06:11] <Pelo> auridius,  digital_k  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood_os
[06:12] <emotion> digital_k, i have an "Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 GM"
[06:12] <slavko> slavko
[06:12] <james> traherom: key's not needed...it's grabbing the packages just fine
[06:12] <digital_k> select intel
[06:12] <slavko>  /join #LinEspa
[06:12] <Pelo> floriakir, at least  512 meg would do
[06:12] <auridius> Pelo: I think it's more of a game they code to act like a desktop, with those funky sound when searching data
[06:12] <traherom> good
[06:12] <assasukasse> i have a small problem, i have another disk just formatted in jfs that i added to my ubuntu, i can copy stuff into it tru nautilus, but i can't copy and paste..why?
[06:12] <emotion> digital_k: there is no intel
[06:12] <assasukasse> the folder is /media/storage and permission is 777
[06:12] <slavko> #LinEspa
[06:12] <digital_k> emotion: no intel option at all?
[06:13] <emotion> there's i128, 1740, and i810, that's the closest thing to intel
[06:13] <james> btw, if anyone knows, does a D-Link DWL-G630 work OOTB?
[06:13] <Pelo> auridius,  that is the point , if you want to customise your desktop try looking in gnome look,  try also kxdockers, gdesklets,  screenlets,  beryl  etc
[06:13] <digital_k> emotion: scroll down and select vesa then
[06:13] <sileni> i hate windows, it keeps crashing on me randomly, ubuntu never did that to me
[06:13] <digital_k> and go thru all the steps
[06:13] <pjman> Hi Everyone. I'm looking for help with a USB hard drive getting I/O errors on a fresh Feisty install. The hard drive works fine while using the Live CD on the same computer. Any help is appreciated - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=435070
[06:13] <digital_k> you may need to use the restricted driver manager
[06:13] <digital_k> when you are done
[06:13] <emotion> digital_k, ok, i'll try that... what's the restricted drivers manager
[06:13] <Desmaano> dr_willis: how i use fsck ??
[06:13] <digital_k> Pelo: thats a good write up, thanks.
[06:13] <Frogzoo> guycook: sys -> sound -> volume control -> options
[06:13] <ikonia> Desmaano: man fsck
[06:14] <mc__> can i tell bash someone to ignore meta-characters? i mean,if i give "foo" as an argument to a programm,bash only gives foo. May i somehow disable that?
[06:14] <pngwen> vmware is badly broken.  It uncofigures itself every reboot, and I have to do an aptitue reinstall to make it work again.  This time though, it won't reinstall, nor will it remove

[06:14] <james> does iTunes work in WINE?
[06:14] <emotion> digital_k: thanks a bunch... i'm on it
[06:14] <pngwen> how can I force a removal of the bad package so I can reinstall it
[06:14] <Frogzoo> !appdb | james
[06:14] <ubotu> james: Appdb is a database of apps & help for programs that run under wine: see http://appdb.winehq.org
[06:14] <ikonia> james: try it, people report yes
[06:15] <Pelo> james,  try gtkpod or amorak as an itune alternative
[06:15] <mc__> soundray: escaping is no option
[06:15] <ikonia> mc__: why not ?
[06:15] <mc__> soundray: the output is generated by a programm and piped to another
[06:15] <dr_willis> Desmaano,  i normally boot a live cd, or use the recovery mode. and use fsck from the shell. BUT with a raid setup - not sure the proper way to do it.
[06:15] <digital_k> emotion: when you go thru the steps of reconfiguring, go to system>administration>and select the restricted drivers manager
[06:15] <james> pelo, i would except amarok crashes randomly on me
[06:15] <rambo3> pjman, i am guessing the problem is usb2 port  or driver in Linux for it . I 'v had had that problem with slow cpu and usb2
[06:15] <digital_k> it will tell you if it has a driver to use or not, or if you need to install something else to get it to work.
[06:15] <Spee_Der> !garlic
[06:15] <Desmaano> how do i unmount a drive so i can run fsck ?

[06:15] <pjman> rambo3: Everything works fine using the Live CD
[06:15] <floriakir> james, if you just want the iTunes interface, try Rhythmbox
[06:16] <soundray> mc__: you can still escape or quote
[06:16] <ikonia> Desmaano: man umount
[06:16] <pngwen> it worked in every other release, why has ubuntu decided I shouldn't have it?
[06:16] <dr_willis> Desmaano,  in theory - the system should fsck the filesystems if they are detected as being unclean
[06:16] <Pelo> Desmaano,   sudo umount  /mount/point/

[06:17] <Tinned_Tuna> it doesn't work, the dir seems to be stuck at 755
[06:17] <sileni> hmm i have a pc just lieing around with 20 gb i can make that into  a ubuntu server and play with it ?
[06:17] <Frogzoo> pngwen: run vmware-config.pl - then run try to uninstall again

[06:18] <The_Belgain> quick question - how can i get an ubuntu machine to respond to rdate requests from remote machines?

[06:18] <guycook> 'sees' the sound card, but alas no mic
[06:19] <guycook> no mic = no skype
[06:19] <mc__> soundray: i cant change that programm
 Thanks, I guess there is no graphical way...
[06:19] <Misled> Frogzoo: Wow... you spend a LOT of time in here.. lol
[06:19] <The_Belgain> i've tried editing /etc/inetd.conf, but that doesn't seem to be working...
[06:19] <Tinned_Tuna> anyone ?
[06:19] <Pelo> guycook,  check the forum ther eis a fix in there somewhere
[06:19] <Misled> I thought I spent a lot of time online .
[06:19] <pngwen> Frogzoo, is it possible to get vmware-player working with ubuntu so that it doesn't unconfigure itself after every run?
[06:19] <soundray> mc__: can you describe the problem in more detail
[06:19] <Pelo> !permission | Tinned_Tuna
[06:19] <ubotu> Tinned_Tuna: 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
[06:19] <guycook> Pelo, thanks, will do
[06:19] <pngwen> Frogzoo: I only ask because I am definitely considering ditching Feisty and going back to edgy
[06:19] <Tinned_Tuna> I know about the filesystem structure of Linux & it's perms :p
[06:19] <Frogzoo> pngwen: I should hope so - you just need to follow the standard docs
 via this option appears vnccommon and vnc viewer, but not vnc server. This first 2 options are already installed.
[06:20] <dr_willis> Hmm im using vmware server under feisty. running good.
[06:20] <Tinned_Tuna> it seems that this directory is stuck at 755

[06:20] <Desmaano> how can i see which drives and where they are mounted
[06:20] <ikonia> Desmaano: moun
[06:20] <ikonia> mount
[06:20] <Pelo> Tinned_Tuna, sudo chmod  777  /path/
[06:20] <mc__> soundray: valdyn: alright, i got a programm which pipes some output  to another program. The output is code with lots of "",\ and so on in it. now if there is something like printf("foo"); in the code,the second programm only sees printf(foo);
[06:20] <dr_willis> mc__,  what are you expecting it to 'get' ?   you want "foo" with quotes?
[06:20] <Frogzoo> Desmaano: 'mount'
[06:20] <Tinned_Tuna> Pelo: I've tried that, but it stays at 755, it seems to refuse to change
[06:20] <mc__> dr_willis: exactly
[06:20] <james> wow, this theme is nice
[06:20] <james> very dark
[06:20] <james> looks good
[06:21] <mc__> dr_willis: i do not want the text do be altered in anyway
[06:21] <Pimp1984> Toma - I typed 'ndiswrapper' and all I get is instructions on how to use it. I type 'iwconfig' and the wifi card is listed as 'eth1'. Should it be listed as wlan0?
[06:21] <Pelo> Tinned_Tuna,  do you have permission to make the change ?
[06:21] <cables> Everyone says that Firefox is more secure than IE because it doesn't have ActiveX. I use Firefox (and am very happy with it) but insn't XPInstall pretty much the same as ActiveX?
[06:21] <Deffy|Laptop> hello
[06:21] <DrFrankenstein> ok guys, the point of my presence here is that I'm trying to upgrade from Edgy to Feisty, and that the normal installer doesn't seem to take into account that my previous install exists, so... how do I do that upgrade?
[06:21] <Tinned_Tuna> yup, the drive is /dev/sdb1 mounted on /media/usb
[06:21] <Desmaano> ikonia,Frogzoo: thx
[06:21] <digital_k> cables:no.
[06:21] <sileni> Pimp1984: you did not comment out the files properly
[06:21] <digital_k> not at all.
[06:21] <ikonia> Tinned_Tuna: a.) what flie system is it b.) what are your mount options c.) what is the exact error
[06:21] <cables> digital_k, XPInstall can't run executables?
[06:21] <Pelo> Tinned_Tuna,  gksu nautilus,   browse to the folder and try changing the permission with the porperties dialog
[06:21] <sileni> Pimp1984: did you comment out eth1 instances before installing ndiswrapper?
[06:21] <digital_k> think of it like this: firefox is a browser, everything that happens within it, happens in firefox only.
[06:21] <Frogzoo> Tinned_Tuna: sudo chmod 777 /media/usb
[06:21] <Toma-> Pimp1984: yeh probably. i think there was a bug reported about that. tried rebooting?
[06:22] <digital_k> ie is system wide, like a big garage door left open.
[06:22] <Tinned_Tuna> a) it's VFAT
[06:22] <digital_k> see the difference?
[06:22] <cables> digital_k, I've had extensions save files to my desktop.
[06:22] <ikonia> Tinned_Tuna: vfat doesn't hold permissions
[06:22] <Frogzoo> Tinned_Tuna: oh that's different
 I'm not exactly sure to work chmod, how do i set the mode?
[06:22] <digital_k> extensions only work in firefox.
[06:22] <Tinned_Tuna> b) I jsut used a standard mount: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb
[06:22] <digital_k> am i wrong?
[06:22] <ikonia> idkaname: man chmod
[06:22] <soundray> mc__: make it concrete. What program is piping to what other program?
[06:22] <Tinned_Tuna> no error messages, it simply doesn't allow me to write to the directory
 ok
[06:22] <dr_willis> mc__,  could put another layer of quotes around it . its the shell thats strippiong off the quotes then sending it to the program. single quotes may also be usefull.
[06:22] <Tinned_Tuna> ahh, I'm being summoned away, I'll be afk for 2- 3 mins
[06:22] <ikonia> Tinned_Tuna: what is the error when you chmod it
[06:22] <blackjackel> I would like to make a program start at boot, does anyone know how to do this?
[06:23] <soundray> blackjackel: call it from /etc/rc.local
[06:23] <cables> digital_k, I had one that started a Java executable to take a screenshot of my screen, and save it to my HD.
[06:23] <Toma-> blackjackel: CLI or GUI?
[06:23] <Pelo> blackjackel,   menu > system > prefs > sessions
[06:23] <cables> blackjackel, at boot, or when you log in?
[06:23] <blackjackel> Toma: GUI
[06:23] <digital_k> cables:active is convenient in the way it handles media, but its a huge security risk for volatile code.
[06:23] <DrFrankenstein> blackjackel: system menu/prefs/sessions
[06:23] <Frogzoo> ikonia: you need to convince hal to mount with appropriate fat flags, I's not sure how
[06:23] <digital_k> active x*
[06:23] <Toma-> blackjackel: follow Pelo's instructions :)
[06:23] <AlexC_> good morning
[06:23] <ikonia> Frogzoo: exactly
[06:23] <AlexC_> howdo I extract a tar.bz2 file via CLI
[06:23] <ikonia> AlexC_: hello, not seen you for a while
[06:23] <Enverex> Does anyone know of a read/write filesystem for Linux that allows on the fly compression of drive contents?
[06:23] <blackjackel> cables: I have no idea, I want it to run right after i type my username and password in and see the desktop...
[06:23] <ikonia> tar jxvf $file
[06:23] <mc__> soundray: alright,my ruby programm is using echo to pipe code to enscript(a programm which generates syntax highlighted html)
[06:23] <ikonia> AlexC_: tar jxvf $file
[06:23] <AlexC_> ikonia: hehe yeah, this place got to busy for me!
[06:23] <cables> blackjackel, ok, go to System>Preferences>Sessions
[06:24] <digital_k> cables: did it do it on its own tho? Did you not initiate the screen shot?
[06:24] <shinao1> hey is there any command line guide to setting up printers in cups on Edgy Eft?
[06:24] <AlexC_> ikonia: thanks!
[06:24] <shinao1> the webconfig of cups just dont work
[06:24] <slavko> #linuxespanol
[06:24] <blackjackel> cables, Pelo: Thanks, doing that now
[06:24] <Tinned_Tuna> ok, I'm back
[06:24] <Tinned_Tuna> chmod doesn't throw an error
[06:24] <ikonia> shinao1: there is one on the community wiki
[06:24] <slavko> join #linuxespanol
[06:24] <cables> digital_k, I had to initiate the screenshot, but from within FF. I think it could probably initiate itself.
[06:24] <soundray> mc__: and you can't change your ruby program?
[06:24] <digital_k> probably not.
[06:24] <Frogzoo> Tinned_Tuna: you need to convince hal to mount with appropriate fat flags, I's not sure how
[06:24] <shinao1> point me the right way ikonia
[06:24] <shinao1> please
[06:24] <ikonia> shinao1: https://help.ubuntu.com
[06:24] <Tinned_Tuna> hrm :/
[06:25] <mc__> soundray: so that it escapes the characters? well that would be a lot of work i think
[06:25] <shinao1> thanks ikonia
[06:25] <danny3793> im having a problem with Anjuta compiling a C++ app into a .o, and not an executable file..anyone wanna help me?
[06:25] <pngwen> Frogzoo: it appears that there isn't a way to.  The "standard docs" are exactly what I did
[06:25] <dr_willis> Enverex,  i belive theres some FUSE modules that allow such a thing with fuse.
[06:25] <digital_k> cables: about the only annoyance I have had with Fx is the stray popup window here or there. but never anything that would compromise my system
[06:25] <ikonia> danny3793: this is ubuntu support - not software building 101
[06:25] <soundray> mc__: you only have to modify the echo calls to output a ' before and a ' after the variable.
[06:26] <Enverex> dr_willis, That doesn't sound like it would work cross machine too well
[06:26] <DrFrankenstein> so guys, does anyone know how to upgrade using the Ubuntu CD-ROM without clean-installing it?
[06:26] <danny3793> ikonia: thanks for pointing out the obvious, seeing as your mr.obvious would you like to point me to software building 101?
[06:26] <AlexC_> DrFrankenstein: you need the alternate CD afaik
[06:26] <jrib> !upgrade > DrFrankenstein (see the private message from ubotu)
[06:26] <pngwen> DrFrankenstein: you need the alternate install CD
[06:26] <cables> digital_k, I've never had any spyware problems with FF, but I'm just wondering what the differences are between XPInstall and ActiveX, they seem to be pretty similar.
[06:26] <DaveTarmac`> I've been trawling the forums about my WPA not showing up in feisty, but to no avail. Anyone here know anything about getting it working?
[06:26] <ikonia> danny3793: the application group that maintain the software your using
[06:26] <pjman> Rambo3: I'll give that a try
[06:26] <pngwen> DrFrankenstein: just put it in to an existing ubuntu system and it should take off.
[06:27] <digital_k> XPI is not Active X they dont even function in the same manner.
[06:27] <DrFrankenstein> pngwen: you think the installer should see it?
[06:27] <danny3793> ikonia: nope :)
[06:27] <ikonia> danny3793: what do you mean nope ? who makes the software your trying to build ?
[06:27] <DrFrankenstein> AlexC_: can I order that disc or I need to download it?
[06:28] <AlexC_> DrFrankenstein: both if you want =D
[06:28] <danny3793> ikonia: theres a difference between the program i am trying to compile, and the "application group that maintain the software i am using" to compile with..
[06:28] <pngwen> DrFrankenstein: on the alternate install cd, there is a script that it executes to begin the upgrade
[06:28] <JakReloaded_> Hey everyone - trying to get my NDISwrapper to work - how do i add the network card under network?
[06:28] <digital_k> cables: here is a good info source on XPI http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XPI
[06:28] <mc__> soundray: yeah that worked! thank you a lot
[06:28] <pngwen> DrFrankenstein: That CD will become your primary apt-get source for the install.
[06:28] <soundray> mc__: yw
[06:28] <ikonia> danny3793: speak to the people who wrote the software
[06:28] <DrFrankenstein> because my internet connection sure is not good enough
[06:28] <ikonia> danny3793: is that clear and none-subjective enough
[06:28] <blackjackel> That seems to have worked, thanks all...
[06:28] <digital_k> cables: one for active x also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ActiveX_control
[06:29] <danny3793> ikonia: i believe it isnt, but thanks for trying :)
[06:29] <cox377> can anyone recommend an app to join avi files?
[06:29] <jrib> cox377: avicat
[06:29] <ikonia> danny3793: what is the software your trying to build ?
[06:29] <danny3793> ikonia: i also believe you meant "non-subjective" not "none-subjective" :)
[06:29] <DrFrankenstein> so all I can do with the normal live/install CD is a clean install?
[06:29] <mar77i> brennus390: funny. it actually was deactivated. now its on, recognized with lspci but not with esd.
[06:30] <ikonia> danny3793: thanks for picking up on spelling mistakes, thats great

[06:32] <mar77i> clean install of the actual ver. updated packages ever since.

[06:34] <DaveTarmac`> I've got a dualboot of vista/feisty on my system, everything works nicely until Itry to connect to my network. I get WEP options, but no WPA. I'm using a D-Link G520+ (atheros) card. I've looked on the forums, but can't seem to find a solution. Can anyone assist?
[06:34] <dr_willis> UbuntuMonk,  for a start. could try somthing other then xmms its a bit out dated. :0
[06:34] <digital_k> UbuntuMonk:cpu usage for any media playback is normal I would think.
[06:34] <brennus390> mar77i: cause i've seen issues with upgrading to feisty and esd not seeing things...or something like that
[06:34] <james> DaveTarmac, you could try the latest atheros build of madwifi
[06:34] <soundray> UbuntuMonk: it isn't too much. MP3 decoding is very CPU-intensive, unless you have a specialized chip.
[06:34] <OlliK> Hi, all!
[06:34] <AlexC_> hi
[06:34] <digital_k> hi OlliK
[06:34] <digital_k> and AlexC_
[06:34] <DaveTarmac`> james: doesn't feisty have it built in? wpa is also loaded on to my ubuntu install
[06:35] <cox377> i've installed java 6, however when i do java -version i still get 1.4.x.x something, how do i change that?
[06:35] <OlliK> I have a small problem. I installed this ejabberd jabber-server a while ago, now I'm not using it and the service is not on autostart. However, whenever I try to shut down / restart the computer it jams when it is "shutting down jabber server ejabberd", and only way to turn off PC is to force it of by power button
[06:35] <jeduan> sudo update-java-alternatives
[06:35] <Tinned_Tuna> DaveTarmac: Last time I had a linux desktop, I had to install the package 'wpa-supplicant' for all my WPA needs... is this still necessary?
[06:36] <jeduan> and then select java-6-sun
[06:36] <OlliK> I wanted to get rid of this ejabberd since I'm not even using it, so I tried to sudo apt-get remove it, but when I try to remove it starts to shut down the server and jams there
[06:36] <UbuntuMonk> Yes i know. But with xorg up, the computer still uses 10%, just idling.
[06:36] <CheshireViking> DaveTarmac`, wpa seems to depend on which wireless card you're using, I've got an RT2500 based pcmcia card & wpa has to be manually configured through command line, while another machine with built in intel wireless has it configurable via network manager
[06:36] <OlliK> So I seem to have no way to uninstall / get rid of it, any suggestions?
[06:36] <DaveTarmac`> Tinned_Tuna: wpasupplicant is installed by default
[06:36] <digital_k> OlliK: in terminal, do a : sudo apt-get -f install
[06:36] <digital_k> then try to uninstall it again
[06:37] <OlliK> digital_k: what does the -f do ?
[06:37] <digital_k> OlliK: you can also search for it in synaptic and remove it that way.
[06:37] <DaveTarmac`> CheshireViking: Are there any device specific drivers? Or would the latest madwifi take care of them all?
[06:37] <digital_k> that means fix
[06:37] <Erratum5_James> brb, everyone.  I'm going to try something out with my wireless card
[06:38] <OlliK> It might be that system thinks that the ejabberd server is on even though it is not, and that's why it's jamming when it tries to uninstall. Is there some file that it creates somewhere when it is on?
[06:38] <JohnM> hi all, i'm wondering if yous could help me get my sound working on my laptop, the sound chip is an intel 945PM express
[06:38] <JohnM> thanks in advance
[06:38] <soundray> OlliK: just do what digital_k suggests
[06:38] <Pelo> !sound | JohnM  start with this
[06:38] <ubotu> JohnM  start with this: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3

[06:39] <Tinned_Tuna> DaveTarmac: ok then :) just giving what I know about desktop linux :p
[06:39] <Pimp1984> sileni - I didn't know you had to erase instances of eth1
[06:39] <DaveTarmac`> Tinned_Tuna: No worries. I'm open to any and all suggestions
[06:39] <JohnM> thanks i'll try those suggestions :)
 via this option appears vnccommon and vnc viewer, but not vnc server. This first 2 options are already installed.
[06:40] <CheshireViking> DaveTarmac`, i'm not sure, I'm still looking at it for myself, the rt2500 card I can get working with wpa, while the intel one I can't yet, both different drivers though, the rt2500 comes up as ra0, but the intel one shows up as ath0, i think i need to manually configure the ath0 as well
[06:40] <OlliK> digital_k: ok I typed sudo apt-get -f install, and it stops there, this is what it says in the end:
[06:40] <JakReloaded_> frogzoo: Thanks for the guide - i have run the lspci command but my card outputs "Belkin Unknown device 700f (rev 20)" any ideas how else i can find out?
[06:40] <ikonia> artabrahao: what do you want me to do ?
[06:40] <OlliK> You already have /etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.pem
[06:40] <OlliK> Starting jabber server: ejabberd
[06:40] <digital_k> ok
[06:40] <OlliK> and nothing happens
[06:40] <mar77i> I think now it's just parse_card that gets '' (empty string) card information. what is next here?
[06:40] <digital_k> that means its not broken, thats a good thing OlliK
[06:41] <OlliK> I probablyo have to ctrl+c it
[06:41] <digital_k> open synaptic and search for it
[06:41] <mar77i> it is, as u say esd not recognizing the card

[06:41] <blackjackel> I'm trying to set up a new menu item in my main menu but I need a few commands to get it running, and it only has one line, so what is the character for new command? I remember it was something like \n or something....
[06:41] <OlliK> digital_k: the sudo apt-get install -f is still in process, it is trying to start ejabbed server
[06:41] <OlliK> digital_k: can I just ctrl+c it?
[06:41] <AlexC_> blackjackel: separate with ;
[06:41] <digital_k> let it run
[06:41] <blackjackel> AlexC_, trying that...
[06:42] <brennus390> mar77i: so lsmod lists the card now?
[06:42] <ahmed_> hi,guys i have just installed ubuntu , and i was wondering how will i install my adsl usb modem driver on it ? can any one help plz
[06:42] <rambo3> kill ejabbed
[06:42] <OlliK> ejabberd is not in the process list
[06:42] <techjim> I just set up a ubuntu 7.04 server and I went to install joomla and I ran into the mysql problem, access denied for user, root, which even spoiled by previously working ISPconfig.
[06:42] <OlliK> it just jams there, as before
[06:42] <BeatsMe2> hi! how do i add user to CUPS
[06:42] <DaveTarmac`> CheshireViking: Darn. Ok. It's going to be hard to fix this as I keep needing to boot back in to Windows to get any files/communicate with anyone
[06:42] <ahmed_> hi,guys i have just installed ubuntu , and i was wondering how will i install my adsl usb modem driver on it ? can any one help plz
[06:43] <Willbert> ahmed: what make and model is the modem?
[06:43] <digital_k> ahmed_: the brand of modem would be helpful. :)
[06:43] <JakReloaded_> Anyone: Trying to get my wireless card up and running - following this guide (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper?highlight=%28WifiDocs%2FDriver%29) but when running the LSPCI command i get the following output "02:05.0 Ethernet controller: Belkin Unknown device 700f (rev 20)" Any Ideas?
[06:43] <OlliK> digital_k: ok it went forward automatically now, this is what it said:
[06:43] <OlliK> You already have /etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.pem
[06:43] <DShepherd> what command launches add/remove?
[06:43] <iShock> How do I install VMware?
[06:43] <CheshireViking> DaveTarmac`, good luck anyway
[06:43] <OlliK> wrong paste
[06:43] <OlliK> :
[06:43] <jeduan> ahmed: it will be easier if you get an ethernet modem, usb modems are really hard to install on anything other than windows

[06:44] <blackjackel> AlexC_: That worked in a terminal window, but it dosen't seem to be working in a main menu entry...
[06:44] <digital_k> OlliK: search for it in synaptic, and see if it shows as installed there, and completely remove it.
[06:44] <sebrock> is it possible to mount a DVD-RW (burner) over say NFS and actually use it?

[06:44] <blackjackel> AlexC_, I get the error "failed to execute the child process cd"
[06:45] <OlliK> digital_k: I'm guessing that synaptic is a packange manager for ubuntu? In my case (kubuntu), I'll start Adept Manager, I'll try to remove it from there
[06:45] <digital_k> yes adept...

[06:47] <babbleback> if i have a 64 bit chip should i be running the x86_64 version of ubuntu?
[06:47] <TheOnlyEnglishRo> yes
[06:47] <babbleback> is it faster?
[06:47] <Erratum5_James> babbleback, doesn't really matter all that much, IMO
[06:47] <traherom> it's up to you
[06:47] <traherom> not really
[06:48] <traherom> and somethings like flash are hard to get working
[06:48] <babbleback> no flash player and something else last time I tried
[06:48] <brennus390> hmm...to get the sound card module loaded...you did a generic kernel correct?
[06:48] <slavko> #ubuntu-es
[06:48] <traherom> personally I'm still using 32 bit
[06:48] <SlimeyPete> babbleback: I'd use 32-bit if I were you.
[06:48] <Erratum5_James> i'm using 32 bit and it runs great
[06:48] <jinroh> babbleback: You'd better not try it, I have x64 and use 32...
[06:48] <slavko> #ubuntu-es
[06:48] <jinroh> too many problems with 32
[06:48] <tls_81> do any of you guys use debian?
[06:48] <jinroh> slavko:  why do you repeat #ubuntu-es?
[06:48] <SlimeyPete> tls_81: I did until fairly recently
[06:49] <Erratum5_James> ubuntu is debian
[06:49] <OlliK> digital_k: It seems to do exactly same as what it did when I tried to remove it with apt-get, it jams in the process, Adept has now been trying to remove it for 5 minutes
[06:49] <tls_81> pete: why leave?
[06:49] <pngwen> tls_81 I have a few debian servers
[06:49] <ahmed> guys does ubuntu have the pnp function ?? plug nd play// i mean if i connected a hard ware will it detect it automatically once its plugeD ??
[06:49] <SlimeyPete> tls_81: 'cos Ubuntu's essentially Debian with a nicer installer...
[06:49] <blackjackel> This is behaving rather oddly... I'm trying to get warcraft 3 running from my main menu.... Running the command "wine /home/blackjackel/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Warcraft\ III/Warcraft_III.exe -opengl" in terminal runs it fine, but when I attempt to add it as a "command" for a main menu item, warcraft 3 runs but asks for a cd, even though there is always the cd in the drive either way.... this is driving me crazy....
[06:49] <pngwen> tls_81 what do you need to know?
[06:49] <Traveler8> i have ubuntu on a ibm t30
[06:49] <tls_81> pete: do you use the installer all the time?
[06:49] <mudit> ahmed: no i think it doesnt
[06:49] <OlliK> digital_k: in apt-get it jammed while saying "shutting down jabber server, ejabberd"
[06:49] <OlliK> digital_k: Although I didn't have it started
[06:50] <mar77i> looked on it once more - doesn't show up
[06:50] <brainiac8008> hi.  when i start up ubuntu sometimes, this comes up: "/dev/hda3 has been mounted 30 times without being checked, check forced."  What is this operation doing exactly?
[06:50] <tls_81> just curious how many ubuntu users have actually used debian....
[06:50] <Thomas_Grainger> hi, I am having a problem with the ubuntu 64bit CD
[06:50] <Traveler8> when mozilla hangs the whole system hangs
[06:50] <mudit> ahmed: i have been also having a prob with a network card
[06:50] <ahmed> how to do the device refresh then..
[06:50] <pngwen> tls_81 I used debian from the days of potato on
[06:50] <Traveler8> must reboot
[06:50] <brennus390> tls_81: ubuntu at work ... freebsd at home :)
[06:50] <Traveler8> can not even kill X
[06:50] <mar77i> looked *at* it... ;-)
[06:50] <Erratum5_James> isn't freebsd butt ugly, though?
[06:50] <SlimeyPete> tls_81: nope. I didn't specifically ditch Debian, though - it's just that I got hold of new hardware / bought new hard disks so I needed to reinstall anyway
[06:50] <tls_81> ah...
[06:51] <Lectus> Hello! I installed beryl and now X won't start. it hangs on the screen with NVIDIA logo. Any idea?
[06:51] <Thomas_Grainger> I cannot install, and I have a 64bit Intel processor
[06:51] <Traveler8> t30?
[06:51] <tls_81> am using debian since the beginign of my linux expereince, i did use breazy badger for a while but still went back to debian...
[06:51] <tls_81> was curious if there was many ex debian users...
[06:51] <tls_81> here
[06:52] <rambo3> not ex still using it
[06:52] <nero678> hello
[06:52] <OlliK> digital_k: Adept seems to have crashed.. it doesn't respond anymore, removing ejabberd 50%
[06:52] <Traveler8> firefox hangs entire system
[06:52] <nero678> which is better
[06:52] <tls_81> rambo:  you also use ubuntu?
[06:52] <nero678> gnome or kde
[06:52] <nero678> ?
[06:52] <SlimeyPete> now there's a flamewar in the making ;)
[06:52] <OlliK> Does anyone know how to remove a process that is not actually started but system thinks it has been started and jams while trying to shut it down?
[06:52] <SlimeyPete> nero678: try both, and decide for yourself
[06:52] <tls_81> No ways slimey just curiosity....
[06:52] <mar77i> thx for help, brennus. think this will do it.
[06:53] <tls_81> lol
[06:53] <rambo3> tls_81, ot for this channel . yes i use debian(for older machine) and ubuntu
[06:53] <JinRoh> What "Music Player" do you use? I don't like XMMS :P
[06:53] <tls_81> xmms rocks

[07:06] <ikonia> mar77i: .bash_profile in each users home dir
[07:06] <brennus390> Enverex: huh?

[07:08] <Enverex> blackjackel, eerie
[07:08] <mar77i> yeah. ikonia just gave me an answer, but what is the difference 'tween .bashrc and .bash_profile
[07:09] <blackjackel> Enverex, now you know my troubles :X
[07:09] <JinRoh> how can I move a menu item from "Other" to "games"???
[07:09] <Enverex> blackjackel, Make a bash script and use that to run the game instead
[07:09] <rosdeebala> help me pleas !!! Can I play msn on Ubanto ?
[07:09] <JinRoh> ubanto?
[07:09] <Fezzler> I don't understand IRC how a room can have 96 people in it but no conversation going on.
[07:09] <Enverex> "play msn"?
[07:09] <ikonia> mar77i: bashrc is called at init of the shell, that then calls bash_profile to set the environment
[07:09] <JinRoh> :p
[07:09] <brennus390> mar77i: not sure there is much difference...i do know that on some unix's .bashrc doesn't work well...so you have to use .bash_profile
[07:09] <rosdeebala> help me pleas !!! Can I play msn on Ubantu ?
[07:09] <blackjackel> Enverex, don't know how to create bash scripts :X

[07:12] <dappis> mistone: it is recommended to reboot after you install a newer kernel
[07:12] <ikonia> brennus390: thats nothing to do with freebsd thats how the port was put together
[07:13] <piedoggie> was pyro for dapper built single or multithreaded?
[07:13] <dappis> and if it isn't necessary, it won't hurt either
[07:13] <blackjackel> Enverex, that works in GUI, how do i run it in terminal? ./scriptname?

[07:41] <FruitieX> Hello everyone
[07:41] <idkaname> ?
[07:41] <FruitieX> what should i do to install GtkRadiant onto my Ubuntu Feisty 64-bit system?
[07:42] <dru> I NEED AN ANSWER .. why my firefox freezes from watching flash videos
[07:42] <brennus390> idkaname: probably use 'startx' or '/etc/init.d/gdm start' ... not sure...ubuntu does things differently...you probably want to find out which config files are need before using the graphic tools
[07:42] <killown> debconf: DbDriver "config": could not open /var/cache/debconf/config.dat
[07:42] <killown> help me
[07:43] <Frogzoo> dru: please refrain from using caps
[07:43] <FruitieX> I have tried downloading to source from SVN, but when doing scons SETUP=0 it stops with this message: scons: building terminated because of errors.
[07:43] <FruitieX> ups, not "to source"
[07:44] <fuoco> hi. i got a problem. somehow when i removed old kernel packages i was left with a system that has no kernel at all - only to find that i couldn't boot anymore. i used a cd to chroot into the system and used dpkg to install a kernel package that worked before. and still i can't boot
[07:44] <fuoco> any ideas?
[07:44] <FruitieX> tried aptitude for that?
[07:44] <FruitieX> but i guess its the same :)
[07:45] <Captain_Haddock> Hi, I need some help with installing samba (I was attempting to reinstall it because of an issue and appear to have broken it further) :(
[07:45] <Captain_Haddock> Installing it gives me the error: invoke-rc.d: initscript samba, action "start" failed.
[07:45] <Captain_Haddock> and
[07:45] <Captain_Haddock> dpkg: error processing samba (--configure):
[07:45] <Captain_Haddock>  subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
[07:45] <Captain_Haddock> I have _purged_ it completely and smbfs as well.. to no avail
[07:46] <arkanabar> this is doubtless trivial, but I'd like to change the font color for desktop icons in gnome.
[07:46] <Captain_Haddock> I have also tried deleting all the samba links from rc*.d
[07:46] <radix64> hi anyone knows how to install the i2c drivers for ubuntu in a intel centrino core2duo ?
[07:47] <ffm>  Is there anyway to capture a digital vidoe that is playing in WMP on the web? THere is no way for me to download it directly from the site.
[07:47] <rollerskatejamms> Will using compression with rsync save time or increase it?
[07:47] <PriceChild> ffm, I think something like mencoder/mplayer could do that...
[07:48] <PriceChild> rollerskatejamms, increase time, decrease bandwidth
[07:48] <rollerskatejamms> PriceChild, Its a local transfer to an external hd
[07:48] <ffm> PriceChild, It uses an activex control to disply it.
[07:48] <PriceChild> ffm, have you got the location of the stream?
[07:48] <dru> frogzoo: i tryed without and nobody listened .. now that i did u listened? see how that worked
[07:48] <ffm> PriceChild, the url of the page it is embeedded on, yes
[07:49] <PriceChild> ffm, well then you might want to try reading its source to track down the originating media.
[07:49] <ffm> PriceChild, http://www.pe.com/video/index.html?nvid=145357&shu=1
[07:50] <Captain_Haddock> Actually, I have the same problem as this chap: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2245430&postcount=7
[07:50] <PriceChild> ffm, I haven't got the time to myself. I'm afraid you'll just have to read the source to hunt it down if you really want to.
[07:50] <ffm> thanks, PriceChild
[07:52] <capt_logic> I'm having a problem with my monitor resolution, I've tried a few things I found on google, but no luck.  Is this the right place for more help?
[07:52] <AgentFresh> Greetings...I'm a total unbuntu newbie and I'm trying to try kubuntu on an old Gateway Solo 9100 laptop. Having trouble getting a Dapper Drake Desktop Disk to boot from the CDROM even though I told the Bios to boot from the CDROM.

[07:53] <dru> frogzoo: exactly, noone listens

[07:54] <AgentFresh> Mar77i: I followed the instructions on the kubuntu sight for burning it from an ISO.
[07:55] <kazol> I need help partitioning a HD for a server.
[07:55] <pepie34> kiv is the group owner cdrom?
[07:55] <CptHowdy> *ubuntu
[07:55] <capt_logic> FruitleX, I added a line for the new resolution, check it now
[07:55] <ffm> CptHowdy, I would reccomend Debian or FreeBSD .
[07:55] <kazol> I have 2x10GB HDs that I want to install Ubuntu onto for a webserver.
[07:55] <AgentFresh> Mar77: It's the version that can be run "LIVE" or installed.
[07:55] <ffm> kazol, Then read the docs!
[07:55] <ffm> !install
[07:55] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - See also !automate

[07:56] <AgentFresh> mar77
[07:56] <AgentFresh> :I haven't, actually.
[07:56] <mar77i> [got] ... excuse my funny dialect
[07:56] <ffm> kazol, partition for what?
[07:56] <rjg_> hello
[07:56] <kazol> ffm: I read the docs, but I was confused how much space to partition / and /home
[07:56] <AgentFresh> Which is stupid.
[07:56] <kiv> pepie34 the owner & group is "root"
[07:56] <AgentFresh> :)
[07:56] <rjg_> does anyone have a compy of Calabri I could have?
[07:56] <elpargo> hi is http://packages.ubuntu.com/ down or it's a local DNS problem here?
[07:56] <kazol> ffm: I need as much HD space as possible for webpages in apache.
[07:56] <ffm> kazol, just let it autopartition for you.
[07:56] <AgentFresh> Mar77: The Browswer opened up from ME.
[07:56] <leo2007> Does anyone notice that flash play consumes a lot of cpu?
[07:56] <kazol> ffm: But I need to configure RAID.
[07:56] <CptHowdy> right now im using win svr '03 . . . it serves i'net for network. . . and a seen on the site that ubuntu has a server dist
[07:56] <elpargo> leo2007, it does

[07:57] <mar77i> ok. no prob. what laptop are you trying with?
[07:57] <leo2007> elpargo: any workaround?
[07:57] <AgentFresh> mar77: A Gateway Solo 9100.

[07:58] <ffm> ffm, /home is your home directory, where "users" store their data. Webservers do NOT, for the most part, store their data there, unless you do shared hosting. How

[07:58] <ffm> kazol,  /home is your home directory, where "users" store their data. Webservers do NOT, for the most part, store their data there, unless you do shared hosting. How

[07:59] <RivaeAerya_> Hey. I am wondering about a TV episode of some show, but i can't find on google if i describe what I remember. I remember they were in a school and they had to get to an eye doctor, the eye doctor hypnotized them. Also, there was a magic glasses and if you put them on you get strange hints from texts, like they morph into other text. The text was on a chocolate
[07:59] <RivaeAerya_> Does anybody know what I am describing?
[08:00] <RivaeAerya_> It actually gave me fear of the eye doctor long ago :P

[08:01] <Smith-ub> if you done it correct you should be able to select it then
[08:01] <Anathema> some keys dont work. liek at and so one
[08:01] <capt_logic> anuragmishra - I'm having the same problem, added a line to xorg.conf, but resolution is still not available
[08:02] <Smith-ub> if not, you did not to it correctly
[08:02] <Elmyra> raaah.
[08:02] <X-vind> VCD's are not getting mounted. The data CD's and DVD's are though.
[08:02] <anuragmishra> no the resolution simply doesn't appear in menu list
[08:02] <clever> i have the resolution available in xrandr -q but switching has no effect
[08:02] <Smith-ub> its not A line its multiple once
[08:02] <anuragmishra> capt_logic : using G965?

[08:06] <rockstar_> Anyone know how I can get the id of a hard drive to install grub to in the form of  (hd0) or the like?  I'm trying to install Ubuntu to a USB Hard Drive that I can take to work, and I need to install grub to it.
[08:06] <rockstar_> If I leave it at (hd0), it'll install to my already existing ubuntu install on my internal harddrive.
[08:07] <rambo3> !usb-install
[08:07] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about usb-install - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:07] <rockstar_> rambo3, Yea, I've scoured the net.  I just need to get the id for the drive.
[08:07] <X-vind> I don't seem to able to run VCD's in ubuntu. Does anyone have any ideas here
[08:08] <reverseblade> X-vind, try installing VLC
[08:08] <Don> install the codecs
[08:08] <stefg> rockstar_: you can run 'grub' from a terminal : find (boot/grub/menu.lst will output a list of drives on wgich exists a menu.lst
[08:08] <reverseblade> VLC should do it wiithout the codecs
[08:08] <X-vind> VCD's don't mount but other data CD's do
[08:08] <rambo3> rockstar_, i am guessing (hd1)
[08:08] <KennyTheGeek> cd #e
[08:09] <KennyTheGeek> woops xDDD
[08:09] <reverseblade> X-vind, non standard burner
[08:09] <Jack3> hey, i rebooted and now my wireless card is gone
[08:09] <X-vind> I have got all the codecs through automatix
[08:09] <Jack3> but my ethernet is still there
[08:09] <stefg> *find /boot/grub/menu.lst , that is , rockstar_
[08:09] <Jack3> anyone know what?
[08:09] <X-vind> reverseblade, not a non standard burner, A Lite-on DVD Burner
[08:09] <Don> try with automatix only you must have  internet
[08:10] <ahmed> guys help plz. i have just installed kde on ubuntu , when i open the start menu some of the application icons doesnt show up....
[08:10] <reverseblade> X-vind, then it does not burn in standard way
[08:10] <stefg> ahmed: #kubuntu would know that
[08:10] <Jack3> anyone know?
[08:10] <reverseblade> ahmed, #kubuntu ?
[08:11] <rockstar_> stefg, I'm installing ubuntu, so technically, there is no existing /boot/grub/menu.lst yet on this drive.  I need to know the id for the live install to target the grub installation.
[08:11] <WaxyFresh> my bios dosent support booting from a cd,is there any other way to install ubuntu by useing the cd?the computer has win95/98? on it and no internet accsess
[08:11] <edistar> hey
[08:11] <X-vind> Reverseblade, I don't seem to have any problems with burning CD/DVD's
[08:11] <Don> syslinux
[08:11] <edistar> can someone help me set up a xfce environment on ttyl9 and run a gnome on ttyl7 at the same time?
[08:11] <siloko> in case anyone was on earlier with my cron problem - i fixed it!!
[08:11] <reverseblade> X-vind, then why can't you mount the CD ?
[08:11] <Don> try with syslinux
[08:11] <stefg> rockstar_: find <tab> <tab> gives a list
[08:12] <stefg> rockstar_: on the grub prompt
[08:12] <siloko> i had an exclude from file in my rsync command - which I had only put a relative path to in my shell script
[08:12] <X-vind> I can mount data CD's and DVD's but not VCD's
[08:12] <stefg> !grub | rockstar_
[08:12] <ubotu> rockstar_: 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
[08:12] <Xaith2Ri> @rockstar: usb drives are typically scsi, so it will probably be a sd* drive. check what you already have in /dev, start the usb drive, and look for what's new.
[08:12] <siloko> so anyone else running cron jobs to process rsync commands - be careful of your paths!!
[08:12] <cypher1> is there any way to make the sound from firefox to go to a USB headphone ?
[08:12] <killown> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[08:12] <killown>     what I do to fix it?
[08:12] <rockstar_> stefg, Ah, there's grub PROMPT.
[08:12] <reverseblade> X-vind, and tose Data cd's and VCD's burned with the same burner ?
[08:12] <stefg> rockstar_: grub is indeed a micro OS
[08:13] <reverseblade> X-vind, technically a VCD is a data cd , so what you are saying is conflicting
[08:13] <X-vind> Reverseblade: Nope those are the ones from different sources. viz mag's etc
[08:13] <edistar> noone has an idea?
[08:13] <gluttony> jrib: hey, still know how to help me?
[08:14] <reverseblade> X-vind, all I can say, a VCD is a data CD, it is indifferent
[08:14] <killown> invoke-rc.d: initscript amavis, action "start" failed.
[08:14] <killown> help me
[08:14] <stefg> edistar: i don't know but I'd look at xnest
[08:14] <FruitieX> edistar: I haven't managed to do that without creating an additional account to log in to the other session with
[08:14] <balader> what?
[08:15] <cypher1> killown, you can look at rc logs to understand more
[08:15] <X-vind> Reverseblade: I too agree but this problem seems unique
[08:15] <killown> ok
[08:15] <rollerskatejamms> God I love rsync.
[08:15] <cypher1> killown, syslog and messages also for any deamon messages
[08:15] <X-vind> Reverseblade: VCD's are not automounted and trying to mount it manually gives a message "No medium found"
[08:16] <AnXa> huh?
[08:16] <WaxyFresh> if my computer wont boot frommy cdrom drive,is a ubuntu install cd pointless?
[08:17] <stefg> !boot
[08:17] <ubotu> Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto
[08:17] <stefg> WaxyFresh: got a floppy? Try sbm !
[08:17] <reverseblade> X-vind, I dunno, but I don't want to believe this is a special treatment for VCD's and not data cds
[08:18] <stefg> WaxyFresh: but keep in mind you'll need 256 MB for the Live CD to run. Computers with such an old CD-rom tend to not have enough RAM
[08:19] <WaxyFresh> !sbm
[08:19] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sbm - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:19] <stefg> WaxyFresh: sbm... smart boot manager
[08:19] <stefg> look at ubotu's message
[08:19] <X-vind> reverseblade: I on your suggestion I checked out my VCD on my Dell Laptop with ubuntu
[08:20] <WaxyFresh> stefg: thanks ill check it out
[08:20] <blackjackel> How can I tell which video driver I have installed? I
[08:20] <X-vind> reverseblade: There the VCD is detected. I guess your theory about a non standard DVD drive is right
[08:20] <Buggz> Is there an equivalent of Task Manager in Ubuntu? There is a program that won't respond.
[08:20] <blackjackel> I am looking in the DEVICE manager but I can't see where it says what driver I have installed...

[08:21] <hydan> thanks
[08:21] <X-vind> Reverseblade: I am still not clear about the non standard part. Can you please elaborate
[08:21] <Buggz> thanks, magic_ninja
[08:21] <magic_ninja> Buggz: np
[08:23] <hydan> is there a way to repartition the drives so that i can grab more space for ubuntu to use?
[08:23] <pppoe_dude> any way to connect two computers via ethernet with a straight-through cable (as opposed to a crossover one) directly?
[08:23] <Ian_> hello
[08:23] <hydan> pppoe_dude, your question so kicks mine's
[08:23] <ardya> pppoe_dude: no, thats the purpose of the crossover

[08:23] <Mallan> hi, i'm having problems getting my sound to work on my laptop, the chipset is an intel 82801G ICH7, i tried doing what this link says but i get the same error as them, http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1488
[08:24] <balader> hello!!
[08:25] <Ian_> sorry to bother you, but i was trying to install ubuntu (i have installed a few OS's before, but never have i seen one so odd (in the live disk, KISS). My main problem is how do i ensure that ubuntu does not overwrite the MBR - i wouldnt find an option anywhere...?
[08:25] <balader> there is any f for msn?
[08:25] <rambo3> Mallan, try : sudo modprobe -r snd-hda-intel && sudmo modprobe  snd-hda-intel  model=3stack

[08:25] <flodine> can someone tell me why the desktop effect dont work in ubuntu
[08:25] <ili> i've used windows for 4ever
[08:25] <ili> and i am thinking of switching to ubuntu
[08:25] <Jack3> is there a key shortcut to open a console?
[08:26] <Xaith2Ri> ubuntu never overwrites the MBR, if you have windows installed it automatically adds a boot option for your alternative operating system to the boot loader.
[08:26] <ardya> Xaith2Ri: of course it does.
[08:26] <Frogzoo> Jack3: define one in - sys -> prefs -> shortcuts
[08:26] <ardya> overwrites the mbr, and adds windows to grub.
[08:26] <DaveG|> hey can anyone help me trying to get perl working with a ubuntu lamp install?
[08:26] <blackjackel> Anyone know how I can find out what video driver I have installed? What version etc?
[08:27] <pppoe_dude> hydan, what kinds of partitions do you have?
[08:27] <Frogzoo> DaveG|: sudo apt-get install perl
[08:27] <Ian_> so i will automatically keep my windows boot loader in the MBR will I?
[08:27] <ardya> Ian_: use the alternate iso
[08:27] <DaveG|> Frogzoo already installed
[08:27] <BobbyBi> hi, how do i switch from xubuntu to gnome with having to reinstall with cd?
[08:28] <Frogzoo> DaveG|: and the apache perl  module?
[08:28] <hydan> pppoe_dude, /dev/hda1 and /dev/hda2
[08:28] <Ian_> ardya: so, without an alternative ISO, there is no way to not overwrite the MBR?
[08:28] <DaveG|> Frogzoo i believe so
[08:28] <Enverex> BobbyBi, aptitude install ubuntu-desktop
[08:28] <ompaul> !traffic

[08:28] <ubotu> NOTICE - There is a lot of traffic in this channel at the moment. Please try to keep your sentences into a single message, avoid repeating the same question multiple times, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org for pasting, remember to mention the nickname of the person you're addressing, and join #ubuntu-offtopic for anything that is not Ubuntu support. Thank you for understanding!
[08:28] <ubotu> netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit
[08:28] <DaveG|> Frogzoo but the main problem is that i wanna get it so it runs perl scripts anywhere
[08:28] <DaveG|> so it may be already working
[08:29] <BobbyBi> thats it, i dont have to uninstall xfce
[08:29] <pppoe_dude> hydan, and both are ext3?
[08:29] <ianubuntu> ardya: so, without an alternative ISO, there is no way to not overwrite the MBR?
[08:29] <hydan> hda1 is ntfs
[08:29] <hydan> pppoe_dude, hda1 is ntfs
[08:29] <bbrazil> ianubuntu: you could take a copy of the MBR and put it back after the install
[08:29] <pppoe_dude> hydan, ah ok, well, not much you can do about the ntfs partitions, but you can try resizing and moving partitions using gparted
[08:30] <hydan> pppoe_dude, will do.
[08:30] <hydan> pppoe_dude, thank you.
[08:30] <FruitieX> what should i do to install GtkRadiant onto my Ubuntu Feisty 64-bit system?  I have tried downloading the source from SVN, but when doing scons SETUP=0 it stops with this message: scons: building terminated because of errors.
[08:30] <ianubuntu> bbrazil: i would much rather leave it alone in the first place. i haven't met another OS which wont let me do that, ubuntu used to let me do that even!
[08:30] <ianubuntu> why drop the support?
[08:30] <pppoe_dude> hydan, can't remember if it does ntfs, but in any case you will need to use livecd
[08:30] <ardya> hence the alternate ISO
[08:30] <BobbyBi> to install gnome and remove "xubuntu" i just write in ---->   aptitude install ubuntu-desktop  ?
[08:31] <ianubuntu> http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download - where do i get this alternative ISO then
[08:31] <qwertzpoiu> when making a lvm ..  do I need to have partitions on the logical device like /dev/hde1  .. or can I delete all partitions on /dev/hde and use it?
[08:31] <ianubuntu> ah - at the bottom
[08:31] <pppoe_dude> bobby123, that will only install ubuntu-desktop and it's packages, but won't remove xubuntu
[08:31] <ardya> qwertzpoiu: make partitions
[08:31] <pppoe_dude> BobbyBi, *
[08:31] <Don> what the firts vertion of ubuntu, i need for a old pc
[08:31] <ardya> tag them as lvm
[08:31] <BobbyBi> how do i remove
[08:31] <ianubuntu> ardta: so this alternative iso will allow me to leave the MBR intact will it? which isn't possible using the live disk?
[08:31] <ardya> read the lvm howto
[08:31] <qwertzpoiu> ok ..  yes with cfdisk
[08:31] <ianubuntu> ardya: so this alternative iso will allow me to leave the MBR intact will it? which isn't possible using the live disk?
[08:32] <dappis> alt-f2 opens the run program dialog
[08:32] <BobbyBi> the x desktopp
[08:32] <qwertzpoiu> yes I'm using a howto.. but it gave me some problems
[08:32] <pppoe_dude> bobby123, you will need to manually remove any dependencies installed by xubuntu-desktop that are not needed anymore
[08:32] <BobbyBi> how do i remove the x desktop
[08:32] <AlexC_> there they are all!
[08:32] <pppoe_dude> BobbyBi, *
[08:32] <dappis> apparently the lost ones came back
[08:32] <pppoe_dude> darn tab
[08:32] <BobbyBi> :D
[08:32] <ahmed> guys i have just installed beryl ,, but wheni try running it ,, it shows in the task bar but then closes,, plzz helpp
[08:32] <ardya> ian: no idea about the live disk, the alternate wont overwrite mbr however. but you'll need the cd to boot linux until you add linux to ntldr
[08:32] <stefg> !effects | ahmed
[08:32] <ubotu> ahmed: For help with Beryl or Compiz desktop effects, please go to #ubuntu-effects.
[08:32] <squidly> how do I recover/reset my user account in ubuntu?
[08:32] <BobbyBi> apt-get remove --purge xubuntu-desktop
[08:33] <BobbyBi> ??
[08:33] <mzanfardino> I've recently installed Feisty and I can't seem to playback a DVD.  I've tried VLC, Xine, Mplayer and Kaffeine but they all fail to play back.  Any suggestions?
[08:33] <dappis> also aptitude purge package
[08:33] <ianubuntu> ardya: question stands. my connection dropped (again :|)
[08:33] <ardya> ianubuntu: no idea about the live disk, the alternate wont overwrite mbr however. but you'll need the cd to boot linux until you add linux to ntldr
[08:33] <pngwen> ok, so now I have gotten vmware to uninstall and reinstall, but now it is not extracting and installing its /etc/init.d scripts
[08:33] <BobbyBi> package as in package
[08:33] <stefg> squidly: recover /or/ reset ?
[08:33] <dappis> mzanfardino: install w32codecs, libdvdread and libdvdcss
[08:33] <homanj> BobbyBi: what does the purge flag do?
[08:33] <pngwen> is there, perhaps, an "aptitude install --work-correctly" flag?
[08:33] <ianubuntu> ardya: thanks
[08:34] <pppoe_dude> BobbyBi,  xubuntu-desktop is a meta-package, which means it is a pseudo package that depends on al the packages required to run an xfce desktop
[08:34] <ianubuntu> have a nice day people!
[08:34] <EdBoy> oh dear god
[08:34] <wimdows> ok - any easy way to have anonymous win XP clients write to a Samba share?
[08:34] <AlexC_> pngwen: as a matter of fact, there is
[08:34] <squidly> reset
[08:34] <EdBoy> 1000 people came back
[08:34] <AlexC_> pngwen: except it is  sudo apt-get install brains
[08:34] <stefg> pngwen: apt-get do-what-I'm-thinking is in alpha still, takes another 2 years of development time
[08:34] <squidly> stefg: reset. I dont have anytoher account on that box (and I have not used it for a while)
[08:34] <pngwen> lol
[08:34] <bbrazil> wimdows: guest=yes, writable=yes
[08:34] <Don> some one know a ubuntu christian edition
[08:34] <pngwen> ok, what would cause a package to not install one of its files, yet still declare success?
[08:35] <Don> i have a problem with my gdesklet
[08:35] <stefg> squidly: just add a new user, delete the old one
[08:35] <pngwen> I've never had a package give me this much trouble and I've been on debian based systems for years.
[08:35] <bbrazil> pngwen: an, conf files are special
[08:35] <BobbyBi> !ce-ubuntu
[08:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ce-ubuntu - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:35] <dappis> Don: it's basically Ubuntu with added packages
[08:35] <BobbyBi> !ubuntu-ce
[08:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu-ce - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:35] <Don> sorry
[08:35] <bbrazil> pngwen: either purge it an reinstall, or there's a dpkg option re. missing conf files
[08:35] <squidly> stefg: I cant get in to the box at all
[08:35] <Don> Sorry
[08:35] <travisb> how can I install php-pecl-fileinfo
[08:36] <wimdows> bbrazil - thanks, could it be "guest ok" same as for printers?
[08:36] <BobbyBi> www.distrowatch.?
[08:36] <stefg> squidly: so you have forgotten the password and cant log in?
[08:36] <squidly> yes
[08:36] <BobbyBi> don ^^
[08:36] <dappis> Ubuntu CE comes with bible-reading software and other stuff, directed for christians
[08:36] <bbrazil> wimdows: my recollection of samba is that there should be an = in there, but it has been a few years
[08:36] <squidly> the only account on the box I lost the password to
[08:36] <Frogzoo> mzanfardino: you've install w32codecs & libdvdcss2 ?
[08:36] <wimdows> bbrazil - yes, was talking about just the key, so the full line may then be "guest ok = yes"
[08:36] <claudio> hi guys  did anyone have  winex  allready compiled ???
[08:36] <mzanfardino> dappis: I'm trying to install the listed packages, but I'm getting an error from apt-get: Package w32codecs is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[08:37] <Frogzoo> claudio: use wine
[08:37] <wimdows> bbrazil - thanks mate, I'll give it a try
[08:37] <stefg> squidly: boot in recovery mode, you'll be root. run 'passwd <username>' to give a new password
[08:37] <dappis> mzanfardino: you must enable/add medibuntu repositories
[08:37] <pngwen> I think whoever it is that maintains the vmware packages need to apt-get install brains.  This package isn't done well!
[08:37] <squidly> stefg: ok thanks
[08:37] <dappis> a quick "google" with keywords "ubuntu medibuntu repo feisty" could do the trick :)
[08:37] <mzanfardino> dappis: I have uncommented all repositories from sourcse.list.  How do I add medibuntu?
[08:37] <pngwen> of course that's in the multiverse, so it's not really ubuntu that's doing it.
[08:37] <bbrazil> pngwen: have you tried my suggestions?
[08:37] <dappis> !medibuntu
[08:37] <ubotu> medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/
[08:37] <claudio> i have  wine allready  but   y  read  on some place that wineX suport all activeX  from  Windows
[08:38] <pngwen> bbrazil: doing that now.
[08:38] <mzanfardino> dappis: nm. found site
[08:38] <claudio> i try crossover  but  runs soo bad
[08:38] <dappis> ok good
[08:38] <pngwen> btw, that didn't really purge the config files
[08:38] <stefg> claudio: wineX is deprecated and turned into cedega
[08:38] <pngwen> one still remains
[08:38] <mjr> claudio, incorrect, though some things that wine yet doesn't yes
[08:39] <bbrazil> pngwen: hmm, is it part of the package or created by the postinstall?
[08:39] <wimdows> bbrazil - I did make the changes, and restarted samba, but no luck - any other suggestions?
[08:39] <bbrazil> wimdows: security=shared
[08:39] <pngwen> bbrazil: it's created during the package setup script.
[08:39] <wimdows> bbrazil - cheers will add that ;-)
[08:39] <claudio> so  i read in cedega that i dan dounload the source CVS and compiled to run it  for  free
[08:40] <claudio> did you  knoe  how to do  that ?
[08:40] <bbrazil> wimdows: if that doesn't do it, I'm not sure what will. you'd want to read the docs on what that does
[08:40] <Frogzoo> anyone like to recommend a password manager ?
[08:40] <pngwen> bbrazil so the author was just too lazy to list it
[08:40] <bbrazil> pngwen: that's likely a bug in the packaging then
[08:40] <kestrel> Rebooted one of my machines and goes through grub fine then hangs mount / - the output of fdisk -L = "Disk /dev/hda doesn't contain a valid partition table". Any suggestions?
[08:40] <wimdows> bbrazil - actually, it already says: security = share at the top of the smb.conf
[08:40] <pngwen> bbrazil I know.
[08:40] <bbrazil> pngwen: no, there's reasons you don't want a config file to be actually in the package
[08:41] <qwertzpoiu> I made partitions, marked them as lvm (8E in cfdisk ) and then made pvcreate for each one ... no errors ..  now when I want to vgcreate space1 /dev/hde1 /dev/hdg1 /dev/hdi1
[08:41] <qwertzpoiu>    it says    /dev/hde1 not identified as an existing physical volume,     Unable to add physical volume '/dev/hde1' to volume group 'space1'.  ... huh?
[08:41] <bbrazil> pngwen: it's relatively rare, but it happens
[08:41] <pngwen> bbrazil: right, but when you build a pacakge, you typically want to make sure that it uninstalls completely.
[08:41] <BobbyBi> !ati
[08:41] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[08:41] <claudio> so at the end  what is  better   ceossover  or  wine ?
[08:41] <bbrazil> pngwen: typically, not always
[08:41] <wimdows> !samba
[08:41] <ubotu> samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[08:42] <mzanfardino> claudio: I use wine quite successfully
[08:42] <bbrazil> wimdows: have you tried connecting with smbclient?
[08:42] <NBrepresent> is there a way to check which kind of memory I have from within ubuntu?
[08:42] <rollerskatejamms> Is it possible to run the ubuntu livecd completely out of ram like you can with knoppix?
[08:42] <Frogzoo> claudio: it's much the same thing, only crossover is supported
[08:42] <claudio> yes, wine works nice, but i want to get the best from my pc in games..
[08:42] <rollerskatejamms> NBrepresent, what model pc do you have
[08:42] <bbrazil> NBrepresent: lshw possibly
[08:43] <NBrepresent> it's a dell
[08:43] <rollerskatejamms> NBrepresent, A dell what?
[08:43] <wimdows> bbrazil - smbclient? No...do I install that on Win XP I guess...
[08:43] <NBrepresent> dell dimension 3000, sorry
[08:43] <rollerskatejamms> NBrepresent, I can tell you what you have hold on
[08:43] <bbrazil> wimdows: try it from the server running samba
[08:43] <mzanfardino> claudio: I only use wine to play wow and It is comperable to when I play it booted to windows.  I can't speak for other games.
[08:43] <n2diy> rollerskatejamms: yes, just boot from the CD
[08:43] <BobbyBi> pppoe_dude  must i install also gnome-desktop ?
[08:43] <wimdows> bbrazil - ah ok
[08:43] <NBrepresent> oh, well if you're just searching online then i can do that
[08:43] <claudio> oh
[08:43] <bbrazil> wimdows: if it works, that'd mean it's a windows or firewall issue
[08:43] <rollerskatejamms> n2diy, no, that runs apps off the disk
[08:43] <claudio> I try W3 in Wine.. and it works fine
[08:43] <rollerskatejamms> n2diy, I want to copy the whole disk to ram like you can with knoppix
[08:44] <rollerskatejamms> n2diy, knoppix's live cd has a toram boot flag
[08:44] <wimdows> bbrazil - so just browsing using smb:// you mean?
[08:44] <claudio> But, I cant wait for see how it runs in cedega :D
[08:44] <Enverex> claudio, Isn't that a waste of money?
[08:44] <rollerskatejamms> NBrepresent, you have ddr pc 3200
[08:44] <rollerskatejamms> NBrepresent, im not just searching. use crucial.com it will always tell you exactley what you have
[08:44] <claudio> yes, cause that i hadn't buy it..
[08:44] <n2diy> rollerskatejamms: Ok, wasn't familiar with that option, haven't played with Knoppix since 3.6
[08:44] <NBrepresent> thanks, rollerskatejamms
[08:44] <Fivetwentysix> I have a levelone wireless lan card in my PC and I can't get it working in ubuntu. It detects the router's in my home but when I connect to them nothing happens.
[08:44] <wimdows> bbrazil - apt-get installing smbclient now ;)
[08:45] <bbrazil> wimdows: that might do the trick, but smbclient is more 'raw' and likely to provide better errors and control
[08:45] <DinCahill> is there a command i can do to check if i have a certian package installed?
[08:45] <Fivetwentysix> What do I do?
[08:45] <bbrazil> DinCahill: dpkg -l packagename
[08:45] <claudio> anyone can run CS2 in Wine?
[08:45] <Fezzler> Right now I have Ubuntu on the main hard drive of my computer.  If I add a second drive to the computer, what would the path statement for command-line actions look like?
[08:46] <Enverex> Fezzler, Depends on if it's SATA, IDE or SCSI, also depends on how many partitions it has
[08:46] <dappis> also sudo aptitude search package
[08:46] <Enverex> Fezzler, and if it's before or after the other drive
[08:46] <Fezzler> For example, I can create a new directory by mkdir etc/new
[08:46] <Fezzler> IDE
[08:46] <kermitus> what no #ubuntu-seattle channel... that stinks...
[08:46] <DinCahill> bbrazil: i just downloaded gtklib-2.0.7, ran "./configure" and "make". how can i actually install it?
[08:46] <Enverex> claudio, Check the AppDB
[08:47] <recon> I'm trying to mount this USB drive of mine as a r/w. It doesn't. Does anybody know how?
[08:47] <wimdows> bbrazil - interesting, I don't have perms with the current user over smb:// either - so looks like a chmod 755 would sort it out?
[08:47] <Fezzler> Actually box says ATA.IDE
[08:47] <compengi> DinCahill, make install DEST=/your/directory/here/
[08:47] <claudio> AppDB whats that ?
[08:47] <DinCahill> compengi, does it matter where i stick it?
[08:48] <compengi> DinCahill, if you want to install it in a specific directory you should do that command
[08:48] <tannerld> When I start up Nautilus I get thsi message now: GConf error: Adding client to server's list failed, CORBA error: IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0
[08:48] <bbrazil> DinCahill: don't do that. Use the packages ubuntu provides
[08:49] <DinCahill> bbrazil: something else i'm trying to compile demands i have glib
[08:49] <bbrazil> wimdows: you'll need it writable by the 'guest user' settings
[08:49] <bbrazil> wimdows: 777 will work, usual warning apply
[08:49] <Fezzler> Let's start at the beginning.  I open my computer, install new hard drive as slave, boot Ubuntu.  What happens?  Does it find it and automatically format it, etc.?
[08:49] <claudio> Wine cant reproduce any Video from games?
[08:49] <hylje> claudio: some, not all
[08:49] <bbrazil> DinCahill: then install glib-dev
[08:49] <hylje> claudio: for instance world of warcraft cinematics work
[08:49] <DinCahill> bbrazil: will do
[08:49] <claudio> oh
[08:49] <dbernar1> where is the default xroot color set?
[08:49] <wimdows> bbrazil - ok , will try
[08:50] <claudio> Ok,,, maybe the MPQ, wine doesnt read
[08:50] <claudio> like blizzard games have MPQ videos format...
[08:50] <grurf> Hmmm... The ubuntu kernel seems to think my IDE harddrives are SCSI devices... Any ideas?
[08:50] <pepie34> est)ce que quelq'un qui possde une ati voudrait bien m'aider svp?
[08:50] <DinCahill> bbrazil: should that be on the official list? i cant find it there.

[08:51] <dbernar1> pepie34: right, my mistake.
[08:51] <DinCahill> bbrazil: there aren't any packages with glib in them. i'll check the 6.10 repository
[08:51] <dappis> it's "excuse me wrong channel"
[08:51] <stefg> Fezzler: you will have more space :-)
[08:52] <bbrazil> DinCahill: that's not right

[08:54] <Fezzler> ubotu: When I install 2nd hard drive and boot Ubuntu, will I be able to configure it etc. within GUI?
[08:54] <wimdows> bbrazil - yeah chmod 776 worked, not sure why just guest ok = yes and writable = yes didn't work on their own
[08:54] <DinCahill> bbrazil: i now need four other packages. time to go hunting again
[08:54] <PriceChild> WonderWal, it shouldn't do anything without a sudo
[08:54] <pepie34> Fezzler ubotu is a bot: not a human behind
[08:54] <WonderWal> PriceChild, I am root.
[08:55] <PriceChild> WonderWal, naughty :)
[08:55] <bbrazil> wimdows: normal unix premissions still apply
[08:55] <PriceChild> I don't know sorry
[08:55] <WonderWal> PriceChild, whatever.
[08:55] <Fezzler> ubotu: I have samba up and running and configured so now I'm setting up my Ubuntu <> Windows file server and media server
[08:55] <aoliax> hi i have automatix2 for feisty, and the update manager keeps wanting me to update to a newer version, but for edgy, any suggestions?
[08:55] <WonderWal> how do i remove acpi and apmd and alsa please?
[08:55] <PriceChild> Fezzler, ubotu is a robot
[08:55] <bbrazil> wimdows: 776 is an odd permission, that's the same as 770
[08:55] <stefg> Fezzler: you will need to partition and format it. gparted can help you with that
[08:55] <PriceChild> !automatix | aoliax
[08:55] <ubotu> aoliax: 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
[08:55] <recon> My USB drive seems to be full... however, it keeps saying "not enough space". df says that it's 100%, but the files in it doesn't add up to that much space.
[08:55] <tondar> hello all
[08:55] <grurf> stefg: I read the wiki page and now understand why the disks are seen as SCSI, but that doesn't solve my problem. The problem seems to be that the kernel is unable to read from the disks, i.e. it cannot read the partition table and thus cannot mount anything... :(
[08:56] <Checkka> Does anyone know the name of the package in synaptic that allows me to man linux libraries?
[08:56] <aoliax> !WorksForMe
[08:56] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). 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.
[08:56] <AlexC_> recon: I had that problem, confused me to! clear the trash =)
[08:56] <nuked_omen> aoliax: automatix and ubuntu devs don't seem to get along
[08:56] <nuked_omen> aoliax: each one is flaming the other

[08:56] <aoliax> nuked_omen and PriceChild, thanks
[08:56] <hetfield> does anybody know of a good alternative for Visual C++?(that works with gnome, of course)
[08:57] <nuked_omen> PriceChild: who said i was talking about you?
[08:57] <grurf> stefg: BRB, I'll have a look (I'm having to walk between two pc's :))
[08:57] <Fezzler> stefg: What will the ending file structure be on the new drive?
[08:57] <recon> AlexC_: unfortunaly, didn't work.
[08:57] <Fezzler> Stefg: By that I mean default directory structure
[08:57] <stefg> pepie34: try boot > pepie34  (will get you pm taht dosn't scroll by)

[08:57] <stefg> Fezzler: ??? what are do want to do?
[08:58] <stefg> Fezzler: ??? what do you want to do?
[08:58] <recon> AlexC_: eh, i'll try it on my dad's gang-raped windows computer
[08:58] <Fezzler> stefg: and if my conf files are on $C with the paths then be $D/etc/home...
[08:58] <bbrazil> Checkka: manpages-dev ?

[08:58] <stefg> !fhs | Fezzler
[08:58] <anyo> does anyone know how to install ubuntu from a USB flash stick ?
[08:58] <ubotu> Fezzler: 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
[08:58] <bbrazil> Checkka: that's all the syscalls and devices

[08:59] <anyo> does anyone know how to install ubuntu from a USB flash stick ?
[09:00] <wimdows> bbrazil - found out 776 isn't good, though the write would work without the x...but doesn't seem to, so had to go for 777 in the end :-(
[09:00] <pepie34> hetfield? eclipse?
[09:00] <nuked_omen> hetfield: if no one answers, either no one knows or no one is free to answer you.. repeating the question won't do any good
[09:00] <hetfield> going to check it out; thanks
[09:00] <grurf> stefg: Something like " unknown partition table" and "ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/<a lot of characters> does not exist! Dropping to a shell!"
[09:00] <hetfield> sorry
[09:00] <stefg> Fezzler: so just mount it , say, in /srv and adapt your smb.conf / use the gui-tool to share it over the net
[09:01] <Fezzler> Stefg: So I have to A) install drive; B) Boot Ubuntu; C) Setup new drive; and D) redirect my smb.conf setup to the new drive
[09:01] <Daverto> bbrazil: I looked, and I sill get the error, an error that I get earlier thar that is "/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off" This is still in busy box.
[09:01] <bbrazil> wimdows: look into the 'guest account' setting
[09:01] <_Alexandru> !kde
[09:01] <ubotu> KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu:  sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop , or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . Latest KDE version is 3.5.6 for Feisty and Edgy, and 3.5.5 for Dapper. See http://kubuntu.org for more information.
[09:01] <feistyman> I can't seem to play dvd's. Can anyone help?
[09:01] <gumpish> Anyone know how to use a password with spaces when connecting using lftp?
[09:01] <stefg> grurf: Hmmm, bad,.... was there anything important on that disk, of which you don't have a backup ? :-\
[09:01] <_Alexandru> !kubuntu
[09:01] <ubotu> Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE
[09:01] <grurf> stefg: =)
[09:02] <bbrazil> Daverto: that error isn't an issue. You likely have faulty hardware
[09:02] <grurf> stefg: I think testdisk will be able to fix it anyway
[09:02] <grurf> stefg: And otherwise... I guess I'll be fine
[09:02] <stefg> grurf: that would have been my next comment
[09:02] <Fezzler> stefg: last Q.  Are the tools I need to format the 2nd drive available in GNOME or will I need to do it from command line?  Will I need root access?
[09:02] <grurf> stefg: I will try some other ways to access it, from other distro's and such
[09:02] <mbudde> What is the name of the font used in the Ubuntu logo?
[09:02] <Daverto> bbrazil: I have Fedora Core running on the HD.
[09:02] <wimdows> bbrazil - ok - will do, rather have that working properly than simply chmodding 777 everywhere
[09:02] <ax> how do people do "realtime" with fiesty? realtime-lsm or is there some better way now?
[09:03] <nix> Hello everybody...
[09:03] <bbrazil> Daverto: does that boot okay?
[09:03] <Tantalus> Considering using Krusader & Quanta Plus in Gnome. Intend to install KDE-desktop, but will never access KDE. Even so, programs like Krusader should work with 100% functionality in Gnome. Am I correct?
[09:03] <Daverto> bbrazil: yes.
[09:03] <stefg> Fezzler: you can do it very easy from the command line, but if you need gui handholding you can use gparted.
[09:03] <nix> Tantalus: yes
[09:03] <stefg> !root | Fezzler
[09:03] <ubotu> Fezzler: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:03] <Fezzler> Thanks.
[09:03] <mocha> Hello.  Anyone know if the Twinhan 1022a DVB card works in Ubuntu?
[09:03] <Tantalus> Thanks!
[09:04] <nix> Tantalus: I think installing something like lib-kde should work
[09:04] <dasboot> could someone recommend a digital photo manager? it would need to be comatible with Flickr, and should be able to handle 2000+ pictures
[09:04] <Tantalus> cool
[09:04] <bbrazil> Daverto: sounds like either kernel differences, or you don't use this device from fedora
[09:04] <Rage__> Hi, how the heck does ubuntu know that one of the dirs on a mounted samba share is a symlink and how do I tell it to stop treating it like so?
[09:04] <nix> Tantalus: try install Krusader and install the relavant dependancies as well
[09:04] <Aidenn> hello
[09:05] <nix> Aidenn: Hello there..
[09:05] <Rage__> Or how do I stop the ubuntu server telling everyone that it is a symlink...?
[09:05] <Daverto> bbrazil: is there any way I'm going to be able to get ubuntu running with this?
[09:05] <bbrazil> Rage__: it's the unix extensions
[09:05] <Tantalus> nix: Thanks, I am doing it now
[09:05] <Aidenn> is there a way to enable direct rendering on second x screen? e.g. in user-switch.

[09:06] <faemir> anyone know how to transfer an AVI movie onto an ipod? I have the AVI files ready but I don't think amarok can transfer them
[09:06] <nuked_omen> Doom also runs
[09:06] <Daverto> bbrazil: no I havent. Let me download it though, I do not have one on hand,
[09:06] <bbrazil> Rage__: unix extensions = no
[09:06] <tri3axe> nice

[09:06] <faemir> alien shooter 2007
[09:06] <bbrazil> Rage__: either
[09:06] <Rage__> bbrazil: thanks :)
[09:07] <bbrazil> Daverto: if you have a bootable cd from any other distro it might be worth trying
[09:07] <Daverto> bbrazil: 6.06 is drapper right?
[09:07] <bbrazil> Daverto: yip
[09:07] <nix> right
[09:07] <Daverto> bbrazil: I will try it.

[09:42] <pravinconda> but my wireless
[09:42] <pravinconda> is not detected
[09:42] <noobdude> i didn't like the live cd
[09:42] <pravinconda> even ndiswrapper works properly when I type ndiswrapper -l
[09:42] <aeiko> bee667: Only error message I get is something about the fonts.
[09:42] <stefg> grurf: i see, so you seem to know pretty much what's going on. For my part i have a somewhat problematic DVD-Drive and have to use my own kernel anyway.... so it points in teh direction of kernel recompile
[09:42] <Answer> russe11, do you have feisty cd?
[09:42] <pravinconda> i see the driver and the card
[09:42] <noobdude> i used the command line one to install
[09:42] <russe11> Answer: Yes.
[09:42] <noobdude> that worked
[09:42] <pravinconda> but i can't see the wireless in the network
[09:42] <pravinconda> when i type iwconfig
[09:42] <aeiko> bee667: I could restart and give you the exact message if needed.

[09:42] <pppoe_dude> any ideas why my speakers don't mute when i plug in my headphones to my laptop? i am using intel hda realtek 883 chipset, and i explored the HDAIntelSoundHowto in the forums
[09:42] <reverseblade> pravinconda, sudo ifconfig what do you see as card nick names
[09:42] <stefg> grurf: but see yourself which boot options you have: just give !boot to trigger the factoid from the bot

[09:42] <bee667> aeiko: if you are at the machine, you could try to see at /var/log/Xorg*.log ... see if you find one which matches the time when you started the machine
[09:42] <Answer> pravinconda, your wireless card is not recognized as a device.
[09:42] <pravinconda> no it is
[09:42] <stefg> fumanju: pretty much
[09:42] <pppoe_dude> fumanju, not exactly, but pretty much
[09:42] <pravinconda> because i did ndiswrapper -l and i see the driver and the card
[09:42] <Answer> pravinconda, if it doesn't show up in "ifconfig -a" then it is not added as an ethernet device
[09:42] <fumanju> ok, my box is behind a router, what port is the default port for OpenSSH?
[09:42] <Answer> fumanju, 22

[09:48] <james> !kernel
[09:48] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[09:48] <digital_k> ok pixbuf IS in feisty, nom_
[09:48] <HarleyQuine> that'd be great
[09:48] <Answer> HarleyQuine, I remember seeing a good tutorial for synaptics touchpad... did you search on the wiki
[09:48] <rasky> pricechild yes
[09:48] <nom_> ok
[09:48] <PurpZeY> HarleyQuine: I had a major problem with this yesterday....Is your touchpad working at all?
[09:48] <PriceChild> rasky, are you behind some sort of firewall?
[09:48] <james> ipstacks_: can i get those from the standard repos?
[09:48] <nom_> where is the Gnome-pANEL folder
[09:48] <ipstacks_> james: yes
[09:49] <PriceChild> rasky, have you tried the "http method" in their configurations?
[09:49] <Answer> nom_, locate gnome-panel
[09:49] <ipstacks_> search for kernel
[09:49] <HarleyQuine> yes the touchpad bit, the buttons aren't though
[09:49] <rasky> pricehild how remove firewall
[09:49] <Steve^> thanks stefg, worked perfectly
[09:49] <Answer> !firewall | rasky
[09:49] <ubotu> rasky: 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).
[09:49] <PurpZeY> HarleyQuine: There is a package called gysnaptics I'd try with that first
[09:49] <nom_> Answer, I don't know where to look
[09:49] <ipstacks_> just make sure your versions match: do uname -a to find your kernel version
[09:49] <james> ipstacks_: it comes up with quite a list
[09:49] <hd420> my system is asking for the root password for maintenance, because I need to run fsck manually. what would this be? websearch claims that it's off by default

[09:49] <digital_k> nom_: delete everything in there EXCEPT gtk2 and metacity
[09:49] <PurpZeY> HarleyQuine: I went through so many different steps editting xorg....etc..This worked perfectly.
[09:49] <PriceChild> rasky, no. are you behind one?

[10:18] <zoidberg> hey guys
[10:18] <jshriver> I can go to Network and see wlan0, and I can click properties...
[10:19] <Fezzler> ips: I think 2001ish.  It is a Gateway SE 1200CS with a 1.2 Athlon that I got from Goodwill to learn Ubuntu/Linux.  Plan to create file server too for home network using samba.
[10:19] <zoidberg> how do you get rhythmbox to play .m4a files
[10:19] <jshriver> is there anything like in Windows where you can see a list of SSID's to connect to?
[10:19] <HOT> Fezzler: there should be no bios problem on a board from 01
[10:19] <vox754> Enverex, they are half bot half amazing... and there are scripts
[10:19] <greenman> In samba can I do a "write list = all"
[10:19] <greenman> ?
[10:19] <digital_k> zoixberg:m4a is itunes drm'd files, correct?
[10:19] <digital_k> you need authorization for those i think
[10:19] <jrib> zoidberg: tried double clicking on it in nautilus?
[10:19] <Fezzler> ips: If it means anything, BIOS recognized new drive on first boot.
[10:19] <mar77i> hi. got a problem with the last.fm player. I have installed alsa drivers now and they work. but don't get a tune from the last.fm player
[10:20] <HOT> Fezzler: i am sure you will have no problems
[10:20] <PriceChild> Enverex, right place right time
[10:20] <kitche> jshriver: couple wifi radar or just even using iwconfig tools themselves
[10:20] <pppoe_dude> hmm it doesn't seem that the bluetooth on key on the laptop is detected anyway, coz dmesg says it's unrecognised
[10:20] <BelaBartok> ! why do street lights seem to flicker at night from a great distance???
[10:20] <ipstacks_> mar77i use Amarok!!
[10:20] <HOT> Fezzler: your only consideration now is filesystem

[10:20] <digital_k> BelaBartok: its magic.
[10:20] <digital_k> ;)
[10:20] <PriceChild> Enverex, I saw the paste, and was waiting to see whether flooding would continue after first batch with a mute already typed up
[10:20] <BelaBartok> ay ... magic ... thought so

[10:20] <Fezzler> HOT: ips: Yes, file system and is it desirable to have one big 200gig drive vs formating as two 100 gig
[10:21] <PriceChild> nope :)
[10:21] <PriceChild> Enverex, operators see eeevvverrryyythhhiiinnngg...

[10:21] <rtyler> any ideas? >_<
[10:21] <greenman> Can you do a write list = all?
[10:21] <PriceChild> BelaBartok, if its even half offtopic please go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:22] <jrib> greenman: what do you mean?
[10:22] <Fezzler> HOT:  ips: ANy thoughts?  Again, use, file backup/server, media server, Ubuntu toy, on WORKGROUP with Vista HP and iMacG5 boxes.
[10:22] <HOT> Fezzler: partitions on your disk have very little gain on *nix filesystems, with the exception of a few specialised situations, therefore one drive formatted with Ext3 should do you fine
[10:22] <rtyler> greenman: you talking to me?
[10:22] <dkkong> That's what I needed. Thanks a ton guys!
[10:22] <spinull> how do i setup surround sound

[10:22] <greenman> jrib: for samba.  I'm trying to get it to work with windows, I was reading the thing someone pointed me to, and that's the only way I see to get this thing to work...
[10:23] <digital_k> BelaBartok: Im not sure I understand what you mean.
[10:23] <spinull> i want to know how to setup surround sound!
[10:23] <m1r0> ty stefg
[10:23] <ikurus> hmm, can anyone help me with my chroot
[10:23] <Fezzler> Stefg: Hey, new HD is in!
[10:23] <HOT> Fezzler: in a nutshell, format your drive using "ext3" and tell the formatting tool to use the whole drive
[10:23] <PriceChild> !anyone | ikurus
[10:23] <ubotu> ikurus: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[10:23] <spinull> !surround sound
[10:23] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about surround sound - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:23] <zelnok> Fezzler: unless you're using the drive to put ubuntu on it's probably not worth it.  If you are, still might not be.
[10:23] <ikurus> :P
[10:23] <jshriver> wmaster0  Interface doesn't support scanning : Operation not supported
[10:23] <stefg> greenman: you need a corresponding account to your win-machine on the samba-server...
[10:23] <Fezzler> HOT: Ubuntu is on a 20 gig boot HD
[10:24] <jshriver> should I try using the ng thing using windows drivers or linux native ones?
[10:24] <dkkong> Yeah.. mythtv can be a bit of a pain, but if you get it working right, it's wonderful
[10:24] <BelaBartok> digital_k: ok ... im a baboon, but i need to find out why, cause ill prolly wont sleep at night
[10:24] <Fezzler> HOT: The slave 200 gig is all for server storage
[10:24] <BelaBartok> thanks anyway ... seeya
[10:24] <Crane> Why will the terminal not open when I change hostname?
[10:24] <HOT> Fezzler: that seems fine to me
[10:24] <Answer> Crane, fix /etc/hosts
[10:24] <ikurus> Well, I'm trying to get cedgea to work, and opengl and sound arnt working, so I thought I would try and install nvidia drivers and stuff, and hopefully that would fix it. but I'm getting this error:
[10:24] <Fezzler> Zelnok: ?  What is not worth what?
[10:24] <digital_k> BelaBartok: lol ok  , i think #ubuntu-offtopic is just the place for you.
[10:24] <stefg> Fezzler: so is it already partitioned and formatted?
[10:24] <ikurus> Setting up linux-image-2.6.10-5-386 (2.6.10-34.7) ...
[10:24] <ikurus> /usr/sbin/mkinitrd: Cannot determine root device

[10:25] <zoidberg> guys how can you play .m4a files with ryhtymbox...i can play them with Totem but i want to use ryhtmbox
[10:25] <Crane> Answer, no I need to change it to match as well
[10:25] <Fezzler> stefg: No, getting formating and partitioning advice now
[10:25] <Answer> Crane, yeah you need to change it to match
[10:25] <JerryP> Ok, 2nd try. I'm having problems printing via cups since the update to feisty. When I enable debug logging, I get a couple of errors that I've pasted to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21738/ . Anyone care to take a look and give me a hint?
[10:25] <Crane> Answer, Thanks
[10:25] <BelaBartok> ah its those damned particles in continuum we learned to call air... put it into the ubuntu FAQ.
[10:25] <zoidberg> nevermine
[10:25] <zoidberg> i'm good
[10:25] <Fezzler> HOT: is EXT something I use via GNOME?
[10:26] <stefg> ikurus: man initramfs-tools
[10:26] <HOT> Fezzq
[10:26] <HOT> Fezzler: Ext3 is a filesystem , like FAT32 or NTFS in windows
[10:26] <ronin_> hi
[10:26] <ronin_> to all
[10:26] <spinull> anyone know about surround sound?
[10:26] <techjim> Fezzler:  Wikipedia works miracles
[10:26] <spinull> anyone know about surround sound?
[10:26] <ikurus> no man page, and I could't install it via apt-get
[10:27] <ikurus> i'm guessing I need that package
[10:27] <Crane> Nope no good, still not starting
[10:27] <Fezzler> HOT: so the Ext3 will play well with the iMacG5 and Vista HP files that will go to the Ubuntu server via samba?
[10:27] <Answer> Crane, how did you change your hostname
[10:27] <dkkong> Okay.. now I'm lost. Vmware won't install because there's previous installation of VMWare software detected. I used synaptic to completely remove vmware player and it's modules.
[10:27] <spinull> yes
[10:27] <qwertzpoiu> hey .. I wanted to add a user with adduser .. and it says : adduser: Only one or two names allowed.
[10:27] <nom_> Is there any sort of Disk Cleanup feature, that I can make run every so often?
[10:27] <Fezzler> techjim: My apologies, are the level of questions I'm asking inappropriate?
[10:27] <qwertzpoiu> :-O can't I make more users than root and another user??
[10:27] <Crane> Answer, sudo /bin/hostname newhostname
[10:28] <digital_k> nom_: sudo apt-get autoremove and sudo apt-get autoclean work for me.
[10:28] <HOT> Fezzler: i cannot coment on macs, but on windows and linux samba automagically allows you to read and write to ext3 is the best explanation i can give without getting too technical
[10:28] <techjim> Fezzler: Press on, it's not annoying i'm just abdicating acronym explanation via Wikipedia.
[10:28] <Answer> Crane, ok do you still have localhost in /etc/hosts
[10:28] <Fezzler> techjim: I've not formatted a 200 gig hd with Ubuntu before
[10:28] <qwertzpoiu> ah .. it needs a name as parameter
[10:28] <Crane> Answer, yes
[10:28] <jinroh> Hello, how can I make XMMS not to be so Tiny?? It's to small in 1280x1024 =)
[10:28] <qwertzpoiu> sorry.. ouch
[10:28] <Answer> techjim, Fezzler,  acronymfinder.com
[10:28] <putridp> !opera
[10:28] <ubotu> opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser.  Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" (dapper only) is checked. For more info on opera please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser
[10:28] <techjim> Answer: I use that one often as well
[10:28] <digital_k> 1280x1024? wow
[10:28] <stefg> Fezzler: use ext3, as it is the native linux-fs. other OS's won#t have to deal with that, it's abstracted by samba
[10:28] <Answer> Crane, maybe you have to reboot for changes to take effect.  I have seen that happen when hostname does not match /etc/hosts
[10:28] <Fezzler> techjim: fair enough sir, I stand advised.
[10:28] <blah> i lost my screen when I turened on hardware acceleration and rebooted. Is it possible to revert by turning off hardware graphics acceleration?
[10:29] <blah> and if so how do i do that?

[10:29] <greenman> I got it
[10:29] <greenman> thanks
[10:29] <digital_k> thats a very high resolution is all.
[10:29] <Answer> blah, how did you enable acceleration
[10:29] <Crane> hmmm, OK I will rebbot shortly and see
[10:29] <jinroh> I know :( But it's my native TFT 19"
[10:29] <jinroh> Resolution... actually I use 1024x768 in windows...
[10:29] <HOT> Fezzler: sambas job is to act as a "buffer" between filesystems, its not worth knowing the details (unless you want too) its better to just understand that it will work
[10:29] <jinroh> but I don't know..
[10:29] <bmj> I'm having some problems with my soundcard. Could someone help me 1 on 1?
[10:29] <jinroh> I see all very small :/
[10:29] <blah> Answer, through the GUI under system something
[10:29] <Answer> jinroh, rythmbox seems to be bigger
[10:29] <nom_> digital_k, sudo apt-get autoclean, and the other, how to run them?
[10:29] <digital_k> jinroh:thats what i use on anything.
[10:30] <Crane> Do I cut off DHCP in the /etc/network/interfaces file?
[10:30] <Answer> blah, can you reboot in recovery mode
[10:30] <digital_k> in terminal nom_
[10:30] <jinroh> but in 1024 it's too big
[10:30] <stefg> !sound | dmj
[10:30] <Fezzler> stefg: HOT: Ok, Ext3 it is.  Is this something I can do from the GNOME GUI or best advised to format drive visa sudo command line?
[10:30] <ubotu> dmj: 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).

[10:30] <jinroh> hmm, but it's recommender 1280 for 17" and 19"
[10:30] <Answer> blah,  in the grub boot menu there is an option for recovery mode
[10:31] <blah> ok, thanks, off to look at that

[10:31] <jshriver> thanks
[10:31] <nom_> Digital_k, Im aware. Does that command run the program?
[10:31] <Crane> heh now firefox just shut down
[10:31] <Fezzler> HOT: Brand new Maxtor that can be ATA or IDE
[10:31] <stefg> Fezzler: let's do it like real men, get a terminal and enter 'sudo fdisk -l' to know what device the new disk is
[10:31] <spinull> surround sound
[10:31] <Crane> I guess I will have to restart
[10:31] <spinull> surround sound
[10:31] <spinull> ?
[10:31] <eifzon> How do i fix so steam is using ALSA in Crossover?
[10:31] <Answer> !repeat | spinull
[10:32] <ubotu> spinull: 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
[10:32] <digital_k> nom_: lol the commands tell the computer to get rid of junk, thats what they do. there is no graphical program, no.
[10:32] <HOT> Fezzler: chances are the new drive is HDB (hard disk B) so fdisk should show it as that
[10:32] <spinull> !patience

[10:32] <spinull> :)
[10:32] <HOT> Fezzler: stefg is way ahead of me, follow his directions
[10:33] <Fezzler> stefg: You and me dude
[10:33] <sin2gen2> anyone using fglrx (amd drivers 8.35.6, i think) with beryl-xgl in feisty?  mine freezes after the gnome splash as of today...
[10:33] <stefg> Fezzler: so waht does sudo fdisk -l tell about a new drive?
[10:34] <westyvw> my firend is having the wierdest problem after upgrading from dapper to fiesty
[10:34] <Fezzler> stefg: Disk /dev/hdb: 200.0 GB, 200049647616 bytes
[10:34] <westyvw> there are lines all over the screen
[10:34] <blah> Answer, ok, i booted from a recovery mode. It has left me in text mode. How do I go back to gnome? Or perhaps I need to turn off hardware accelleration before going to gnome?
[10:34] <westyvw> they arent there at first but then they appear
[10:34] <Fezzler> stefg: 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 24321 cylinders
[10:34] <westyvw> its a sis card
[10:35] <stefg> Fezzler: ok, now 'sudo cfdisk /dev/hdb'
[10:35] <jinroh> What Commander do you use in Ubuntu? I use (and own) Total Commander in Windows, but Gnome Commander and Krusader aren't just the same :p
[10:35] <Fezzler> stefg: Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
[10:36] <Fezzler> stefg: I was surprised what fdisk -l told me about drive 1
[10:36] <unikon> Anyone know what the next release date is
[10:36] <mbb> is there an archive site for planet.ubuntu? lots of good stuff there, goes away too fast some weeks...
[10:37] <go1> unikon: 7/10
[10:37] <Fezzler> stefg: may I IM hd 1 info?
[10:37] <digital_k> go1: seriously? lol
[10:37] <Waddledee> Hey there.  Can someone help me with my printing problem?  I want to reverse the order of printed pages for all applications...
[10:37] <stefg> Fezzler: cfdisk will allow you to mak a partition on the new drive /dev/hdb... use pastebin instaed of PM .. see /topic or /paste
[10:37] <unikon> go1 isnt there a webpage explaining the current status of the release
[10:38] <Fezzler> /paste
[10:38] <go1> I don't know.
[10:38] <stefg> !paste | Fezzler
[10:38] <jinroh> What Commander do you use in Ubuntu? I use (and own) Total Commander in Windows, but Gnome Commander and Krusader aren't just the same :p
[10:38] <ubotu> Fezzler: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[10:38] <linxeh> go1: see topic in #ubuntu+1
[10:38] <eifzon> How do i fix so steam is using ALSA in Crossover?
[10:38] <linxeh> jinroh: I always thought people were joking when they said they used "commanders" still :o
[10:39] <digital_k> jinroh: I use what comes with gnome desktop, its plenty for me. ;)
[10:39] <Waddledee> Hey there.  Can someone help me with my printing problem?  I want to reverse the order of printed pages for all applications...
[10:39] <jinroh> linxeh:  commanders r00lz :)
[10:39] <putridp> ubotu's help for opera seems to be out of date for Feisty? I don't think it's installable via 'Add/Remove...' in the Application menu
[10:39] <jinroh> digital_k:  so you mean Nautilus?
[10:39] <digital_k> ya
[10:39] <jinroh> :/
[10:39] <jinroh> Don't get used to
[10:39] <stefg> linxeh: the universe would not be worth to live in without 'mc' :-)
[10:39] <digital_k> i like simple.
[10:39] <UbuntuNoob> Is Grub used in ubuntu?
[10:39] <digital_k> lol
[10:39] <jinroh> I have been using Total Commander for 7 years (and I am 17 :) )
[10:40] <ardya> UbuntuNoob: yes.
[10:40] <Fezzler> stefg: do I paste the paste url here?
[10:40] <serenity> hi
[10:40] <stefg> Fezzler: yes, please
[10:40] <unikon> go1 i found it https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GutsyReleaseSchedule
[10:40] <compengi> how to check through "ls" file size?
[10:40] <Fezzler> stefg: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21740/
[10:40] <VSpike> putridp: I think you're right
[10:40] <chdragonfly> what does mount mean?
[10:41] <serenity> i am looking for a software for streaming my desktop live into the internet. A kind of live-screencast. Is there any?
[10:41] <Fezzler> stepf: Is the boot hd 20 gig formated into 3 drives?
[10:41] <stefg> Fezzler: lokks good and sane
[10:41] <go1> unikon : cool
[10:41] <digital_k> jinroh: search synaptic for file manager or similar, I am sure there are many alternatives there waiting to be discovered. :)
[10:41] <Waddledee> Um, since no one's addressed my question: I did a Google search which suggested I could solve the problem by editing /etc/cups/ppd/(Myprinter).ppd.  Is this the best approach to take?  If so, how do I successfully edit it?
[10:41] <linxeh> ;-)
[10:41] <stefg> Fezzler: one primary, one extended (which just holds the logical) and one swap... all fine
[10:42] <Crane> Cool Thanks Answer I just needed to log out and back in
[10:42] <ardya> jinroh: xfe is VERY Win Explorer-like
[10:42] <putridp> It might be better if !opera pointed here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser
[10:42] <digital_k> Waddledee: if someone knows the solution, they will speak up usually. You arent being ignored. :)
[10:42] <linxeh> jinroh: I used to use norton commander, but that was like 15-20 years ago :o
[10:42] <Crane> Now how do I keep the /etc/resolv.conf from being over written
[10:42] <stefg> Fezzler: so now cfdisk /dev/hdb
[10:42] <Fezzler> stefg: Will the swap size be challenged if I add a 200 gig for storage behind the 20 gig boot disk?
[10:42] <jinroh> digital_k:  will try :)
[10:42] <LjL> putridp: err, it does...?
[10:43] <jinroh> ardya:  win explorer?? I want total commander like :P
[10:43] <serenity> noone an idea?
[10:43] <VSpike> jinroh: I was always an XTree Gold fan (for DOS.. the windows version sucked)
[10:43] <linxeh> xtree! :)
[10:43] <linxeh> w00t
[10:43] <linxeh> hehe
[10:43] <linxeh> this is getting offtopic though :(
[10:43] <stefg> Fezzler: swap is related to ram, not to diskspace
[10:43] <jinroh> so noone use commanders anymore?
[10:43] <chdragonfly> srry to ask this again, but im trying to change the boot.ini from linux, how do i do that again? Im completely new to linux/ubuntu.
[10:43] <ardya> jinroh: no idea what "total commander like" is
[10:43] <jinroh> I am getting old?
[10:43] <Fezzler> stefg: before I "sudo cfdisk /dev/hdb" what does that do and what should I expect to see, because formating 200gig may take a while, right?
[10:44] <Fezzler> stefg: Class act!
[10:44] <digital_k> chdragonfly: why do you need to edit the boot.ini for windows from within linux?
[10:44] <LjL> !info krusader | ardya, jinroh, maybe like this
[10:44] <VSpike> jinroh: what about midnight commander? never used it but..
[10:44] <ubotu> ardya, jinroh, maybe like this: krusader: twin-panel (commander-style) file manager for KDE (and other desktops). In component universe, is optional. Version 1.80.0~beta1-1 (feisty), package size 2982 kB, installed size 8324 kB
[10:44] <UbuntuNoob> I'm trying to switch to Ubuntu from XP, but i am getting errors. Could someone message me so i could ask a few questions?
[10:44] <chdragonfly> digital_k: my windows won't boot, and someone suggested to change the boot.ini file
[10:44] <stefg> Fezzler: so just make one big partition type 83
[10:44] <LjL> !ask
[10:44] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[10:44] <Waddledee> digital_k: I didn't think I was being ignored, but I thought I might have been lost in the noise.  At any rate, can you advise me on the, um, advisability of doing what http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=263820 suggests?
[10:44] <digital_k> UbuntuNoob: ask in here, someone will know.
[10:44] <jinroh> VSpike:  I tried it I thing, it's too "command line"
[10:44] <jinroh> *think
[10:44] <UbuntuNoob> The install succeeds, but on first boot i get Grub error 18
[10:45] <ardya> thats what terminals are for, file management :)
[10:45] <UbuntuNoob> I researched the error, and it says something about my bios unable to access some boot stuff
[10:45] <VSpike> jinroh: oh you want a gui one :)  And there was me thinking you were really old skool
[10:45] <jinroh> VSpike:   not really :P
[10:45] <Fezzler> stefg: so "sudo cfdisk /dev/hdb" is the command line instruction that will find the slave drive a partition/format it?
[10:45] <putridp> LjL: Ahem. I think there's a cosy hole just here for me to crawl in...
[10:45] <jinroh> Just one a functional (and nice graphical) commander :)
[10:45] <zoidberg> hey guys whats a good torrent client for feisty
[10:45] <zoidberg> \?
[10:45] <jinroh> Like Total Commander :D
[10:45] <__mikem> PriceChild, I need help, for some reason, my computer refuses to load ubuntu off of the live CD.
[10:45] <digital_k> chdragonfly: did you install ubuntu on a dual boot or so you thought?
[10:46] <stefg> Fezzler: yes, it will partition , but not format. making a filesystem is a second step
[10:46] <digital_k> if so, grub should be installed
[10:46] <Fezzler> stefg: Cause I'm ready to go!
[10:46] <chdragonfly> digital_k: i think i installed it on dualboot...
[10:46] <PriceChild> __mikem, I'm not availiable atm
[10:46] <PriceChild> sorry
[10:46] <Fezzler> stefg: Here I go!
[10:46] <__mikem> okay
[10:46] <Fezzler> stefg: brb
[10:46] <digital_k> chdragonfly: there is no option at boot to select windows xp
[10:46] <omnius> how do I access my hdd when im running the Live CD?
[10:46] <rigar> c://irc.dslextreme.com/techguy
[10:46] <zoidberg> anyone know of a good torent client for ubuntu?
[10:46] <digital_k> if not , then there is no windows xp i am afraid
[10:46] <stefg> Fezzler: wait, no reboot needed so far
[10:47] <VSpike> jinroh: I'd be interested too... I tend to use konqueror, dolphin or command line, depending but always interested to try new software
[10:47] <chdragonfly> digital_k: there is the option to select winXP, but when i click it, it just turns to a black screen and nothing happnes
[10:47] <__mikem> Does anyone know why my live cd won't run (it boots, but then it freezes when trying to load ubuntu) on my new HP Pavilion
[10:47] <UbuntuNoob> zoidberg: i love azureus :)
[10:47] <Waddledee> zoidberg: I like Azureus, but the version that ships with ubuntu is glitchy.  It's fixable, though.
[10:47] <zoidberg> Waddledee, how is it fixable
[10:47] <ardya> apt-cache search torrent. pick one.
[10:47] <jughead> I just use Ktorrent
[10:47] <unikon> __mikem may be a bad burn
[10:47] <zoidberg> Waddledee, i used to use azureus on ubuntu but it always ackted funny
[10:47] <jinroh> VSpike:  the most "nice" commander I found  so far is Krusader (oh noes it's KDE :P)
[10:47] <Fezzler> stefg: command brought up a utility.  Wait!  After I execute?  Don't do that to me.  My heart.  :)
[10:47] <jinroh> maybe I'd need to use wine and get a real TC :)
[10:48] <unikon> __ mikem i know for a fact that hp machines love to run linux
[10:48] <__mikem> unikon, no, I am using the cd's from shipit, and both the 64 bit verion (which I would like to use) and the 32 bit version won't run
[10:48] <digital_k> unikon: i have never had an issue with mine.
[10:48] <stefg> Fezzler: so make one big partititon, write the partition table to disk, the quit cfdsik
[10:48] <digital_k> hp=very linux friendly usually.
[10:48] <omnius> I need to fix my grub but i cant see my partitions
[10:48] <VSpike> jinroh: yeah it looks good, just not had time to familiarize with it yet
[10:49] <unikon> __mikem look in your bios and see if the cd-rom is set to first boot device
[10:49] <zoidberg> Waddledee, do u know how to make the fixes on azureus so it works right?
[10:49] <CheshireViking> __mikem, what graphics card does the HP use?
[10:49] <__mikem> nvidia
[10:49] <hydan> what's the really slick osx like bar with physics?
[10:49] <Geekosaur> ktorrent is a great idea IF you run KDE as your desktop.
[10:49] <__mikem> unikon it boots the cd, but when it tries to run gdm, the screen gets lines accross it and it just sits there and does nothing
[10:49] <n00b> can someone help me?
[10:49] <Fezzler> stefg: First step, select New?
[10:49] <QuixoticJ> zoidberg does your azureus just crash when you run it?
[10:49] <stefg> Fezzler: right
[10:49] <zoidberg> Waddledee, u there
[10:50] <n00b> how do i install ndiswrapper?
[10:50] <CheshireViking> __mikem, that throws my thought that it might have been the same problem I had on laptop, but that was ati xpress that caused my problem
[10:50] <jughead> n00b, it depends; which ubuntu are you using?
[10:50] <QuixoticJ> I don't know what that is n00b but have you tried sudo apt-get install packagename?
[10:50] <Fezzler> stefg: Primary or Logical?
[10:50] <eifzon> How do i fix so steam is using ALSA in Crossover?
[10:50] <digital_k> _mikem: did you select the safe graphics mode?
[10:50] <jinroh> VSpike:  oh I downloaded "bsc" and it looks more like TC :)
[10:50] <n00b> feisty
[10:50] <stefg> Fezzler: primary
[10:50] <jinroh> (But a bit ugly)
[10:50] <__mikem> digital_k, yes first thing I tried
[10:50] <Waddledee> zoidberg: yeah, I'm here, sorry.  Working on other stuff.
[10:51] <__mikem> the same thing happened
[10:51] <Fezzler> stefg: Just accept the size it auto detected?  (Entire drive?)
[10:51] <digital_k> you may need to download the alternate install cd if you cant get it to work, it uses a text based installer
[10:51] <stefg> Fezzler: yes
[10:51] <__mikem> it really is annoying because vista and all its eyecandy loads fine
[10:51] <Geekosaur> mikem-it is probably a hardware problem.  Try booting it with another bootable CD.
[10:51] <unikon> __mikem well at least your not using the HUGE black and silver gateway case those things wont even boot anything unless its a windows ACTUAL cd
[10:51] <zoidberg> Waddledee, you think you could help me out with azureus
[10:51] <hydan> what's the menu bar that has physics? it's name begins with a k. that's all i remember.
[10:51] <Waddledee> And the fix is to replace the .jar file of Azureus with the newest one from the official site.  How exactly to do that I forget-- someone else walked me through it-- but I can probably figure it out if no one else can help.
[10:51] <omnius> my grub is stuffed, I'm pretty sure i know how to change my menu.lst and fstab files but i dont know how to get to them when i use the Live CD?
[10:51] <johnnybuoy> hi all!
[10:51] <__mikem> Geekos
[10:51] <jughead> y hallo thar johnnybuoy
[10:52] <__mikem> oops
[10:52] <__mikem> sorry
[10:52] <__mikem> wroung button
[10:52] <ardya> omnius: type the commands in grub
[10:52] <johnnybuoy> this is not strictly ubuntu-related, but has anyone heard of a mailbox file viewer
[10:52] <__mikem> I am not used to this keyboard
[10:52] <DanaG> Hmm, with the -generic kernel, suspend now works again.
[10:52] <Daverto> bbrazil: I downloaded dapper and It stops at Mounting Root File System.

[10:52] <johnnybuoy> I do not need a full mail application, just to reat my mails I have lying around from old-old stuff
[10:52] <digital_k> mbox you mean, johnnybuoy?
[10:52] <Willbert> Everyting aighttttttttttttttt?
[10:52] <johnnybuoy> yep
[10:52] <stefg> Fezzler: write
[10:52] <miles> Im a newbie, but is restart/crash common when modifying or using files from an NTFS external hard drive?
[10:52] <johnnybuoy> mbox
[10:52] <Slart> johnnybuoy: I always forget which is which.. but isn't mailbox in clear text?
[10:53] <Waddledee> zoidberg: okay, I found the info.  You ready?
[10:53] <johnnybuoy> digital_k, mbox is the type that stores every mail in one file, right?
[10:53] <kemik> anyone care to help me out? tried upgrading from dapper->edgy and i'm getting this error: http://pastebin.se/16505
[10:53] <omnius> ok so press esc when grub starts, then do I press 'e' or 'o'?
[10:53] <kemik> i've also tried to remove the package, hold it back etc.
[10:53] <chdragonfly> I installed ubuntu on dual boot with xp. When i start up compute, i can the 5 options, and choose the windows xp and then it just takes me to a black screen and does nothing. Anyone know how to fix that? or can someone tell me how to change the boot.ini file from linux?
[10:53] <Fezzler> stefg: "writing partition table to disk"
[10:53] <johnnybuoy> yes, but it's a friggin' 1.1 gig file, so opening it in a texteditor doesn't work
[10:53] <CheshireViking> __mikem, another option would be to download & use the alternate cd, that was the only way I could get ubuntu installed on a laptop, the livecd kept freezing during startup
[10:53] <stefg> Fezzler: that#s what we wanted
[10:54] <__mikem> let me see what the bios settings are
[10:54] <miles> Im a newbie, but is restart/crash common when modifying or using files from an NTFS external hard drive?
[10:54] <AFaith> hello people
[10:54] <Fezzler> stefg: Now just confirming that this disk will not be bootable
[10:54] <HOT> miles: no it isnt
[10:54] <AFaith> ive got a really nasty problem
[10:54] <PurpZeY> miles: I've never had that problem
[10:54] <Waddledee> zoidberg: *pokes*
[10:54] <AFaith> ive  mistipped
[10:54] <Slart> johnnybuoy: ahh.. and some filtering magic wont get you what you want? grep and friends?
[10:54] <miles> Thank you. Ill make a post on the forums then! :)
[10:54] <stefg> Fezzler: it's your storage as i understand, so you will not boot from it
[10:55] <omnius> ardya: is it possible to edit menu.lst and fstab in grub?
[10:55] <AFaith> i've misstiped and i've created a symlink instead of /etc/rc.d
[10:55] <Slart> kemik: I would uninstall both python packages and then only reinstall one.. they might fix it later but for now that's a quick solution
[10:55] <Fezzler> stefg: Correct.  It is a 200g slave for server storage.  I have a 20g master as the boot disk
[10:55] <ardya> omnius: after you've booted yes
[10:55] <AFaith> now i'm afraid of restarting my pc
[10:55] <tommy_> i heard there is gonna be ubu 7.10   - why  ?? what will be the difference ??
[10:55] <stefg> Fezzler: so if everything went well quit cfdisk now
[10:55] <Geekosaur> mikem-I know of two excellent East Indian philosophers called Bin Dar and Dun Dat.  I am using a brand new Logitech keyboard right now.
[10:55] <Fezzler> stefg: Back to:  Bootable   Delete   Help   Maximize   Print  Type Quit  Units  Write   ???
[10:55] <omnius> ok i'll give it a try

[10:56] <digital_k> tommy_:just little things here and there, when its ready for mass release, as with all releases.
[10:56] <johnnybuoy> Slart, it would be fine if I would be the target, but I'm not
[10:56] <AFaith> please, can you help me ?
[10:56] <AFaith> or give me and advice ?
[10:56] <AFaith> please, i'm desperate
[10:56] <bulmer> what you need help on?
[10:56] <stefg> Fezzler: sudo fdisk -l once more to verify that you have a big partition on /dev/hdb/  now
[10:56] <johnnybuoy> a total computer illiterate don't know grep and friends ;)
[10:57] <Fezzler> stefg:  Will do, but message says: Quit program without writing partition table....didn't we just partition?
[10:57] <AFaith> bulmer: i've told you the problem...
[10:57] <Fezzler> stefg: haven't quit yet
[10:57] <digital_k> johnnybuoy: you cant be completely illiterate, you found your way here. ;)
[10:57] <bulmer> AFaith: i did not read.previous posting, i just got in
[10:57] <AFaith> oh...
[10:57] <stefg> Fezzler: then you didn't write... do that
[10:57] <AFaith> ok .. let me tell you the problem again
[10:57] <Fezzler> stefg: I did, I'll do it again, okay?
[10:58] <Slart> johnnybuoy: oh.. well.. then... no, I don't have any easier solutions.. oh.. wait.. can't you just import the messagebox into some kind of mail client? (after all, it is "some kind of messagebox viewer" =)
[10:58] <bulmer> also learn to prefix a nick so it would not be missed
[10:58] <stefg> Fezzler: won't hurt
[10:58] <Fezzler> stefg: select write again
[10:58] <Digital_Dream> I need some help real quick
[10:58] <AFaith> i've misstyped and i've created a symlink and i've replaced /etc/rc.d  with a symlink to /opt/lampp/lampp
[10:58] <stefg> Fezzler: and press enter :-)
[10:58] <The_PHP_Jedi> hey, any news on Rhythmbox equalizer?
[10:58] <AFaith> bulmer: how do i do that ?
[10:58] <Skyward> Are we allowed to ask nooby questions in here?
[10:58] <miles> yes
[10:58] <The_PHP_Jedi> yes skyward, lol
[10:58] <Digital_Dream> Welcome Nanu! You have achieved a new peak of 1261 users for #ubuntu!
[10:58] <Skyward> sweet
[10:58] <bulmer> AFaith: do which? put a nick on the front of your message?
[10:58] <zoidberg> Waddledee, i'm ready
[10:58] <Digital_Dream> Welcome GMWeezel! You have achieved a new peak of 1262 users for #ubuntu!
[10:59] <The_PHP_Jedi> yay, new peaks :D
[10:59] <AFaith> oh :P i will ...
[10:59] <Digital_Dream> Sorry
[10:59] <bulmer> AFaith: symlinks can be erased
[10:59] <Fezzler> stefg: After write, I get: " No primary partitions are marked bootable. DOS MBR cannot boot this.
[10:59] <Fezzler>                  Toggle bootable flag of the current partition
[10:59] <bedazzled> ok, i installed opera (the shared version) and the widgets seem awkward. k3b looks fine. what should i tweak?
[10:59] <Waddledee> zoidberg: okay, first download the latest .jar file for Azureus from the official site.
[10:59] <Digital_Dream> It's a plugin
[10:59] <chdragonfly> what do i need to do to change a file on the windows partition?
[10:59] <PriceChild> Digital_Dream, please turn it off now. :)
[10:59] <GMWeezel> Does anyone know of a program I could use to upload videos to Linux via command line?
[10:59] <Fezzler> stefg: what do I do at this point.  Before, I Quit
[10:59] <GMWeezel> *videos to youtube
[10:59] <stefg> Fezzler: just a warning... ignore that
[10:59] <AFaith> bulmer: but if i'm erasing /etc/rc.d symlink it will remain a directory ?
[10:59] <PriceChild> GMWeezel, youtube does it?
[10:59] <AFaith> the original directory ?
[10:59] <bedazzled> ?
[10:59] <tidrion_> hey, unless I tell the computer to go to sleep the wireless network disconnects and can't reconnect until I reboot, any idea
[11:00] <GMWeezel> PriceChilld:"via command line?"
[11:00] <Fezzler> stefg: So, select Quit?
[11:00] <Skyward> Well then, I have a small problem.  I'm trying to enable desktop effects, but it keeps returning an error: "The composite extension is not available".  I have an ati x1600 card and installed drivers via the Envy script.
[11:00] <Waddledee> zoidberg: second, install Azureus through the Add/Remove menu, if you haven't already.  Let me know when you've done both.
[11:00] <Slart> hmm.. is http://packages.ubuntu.com/ down? or is it just me it hates?
[11:00] <bedazzled> i have the windows native skin
[11:00] <sven_> hello, how can I uninstall totem-gstreamer without uninstalling ubuntu-desktop? I want to install totem-xine
[11:00] <bulmer> AFaith: its easy to recreate a directory, for one, if you created a symlink using an existing name, it will not be created anyways
[11:00] <bedazzled> ...
[11:00] <stefg> Fezzler: so if the partition table is now written to disk, yes, then quit
[11:00] <PriceChild> GMWeezel, I'm sure that they wouldn't like that from the T&C... and I don't think one exists sorry
[11:01] <zoidberg> Waddledee, i downloaded azureus through apt-get in the terminal....now you want me to download the .jar file from the azureus website?
[11:01] <Slart> kemik: I think one package is python-clearsilver 0.9.13-3.2ubuntu1 the other one is python2.4-clearsilver
[11:01] <AFaith> bulmer: are you telling me that i cannot restore /etc/rc.d ? and if so, if i reboot my pc, it will have problems or just boot normally ?
[11:01] <dmatysiak> so, i disabled speedstep in bios, and i still get some weird ass scaling in ubuntu. and despite being 2.4GHz cores, it only hits 900, even when i use cpufreq-selector with 2400000. what is the problem?
[11:01] <Skyward> Is there something I am doing wrong?
[11:01] <stefg> Fezzler: now sudo fdisk -l again and verify there's a /dev/hdb1
[11:01] <Waddledee> zoidberg: yes.  You're going to replace the .jar file from Ubuntu's installation with the latest one from Azureus.
[11:01] <chdragonfly> can someone plz plz help me?
[11:02] <chdragonfly> or is my problem unsolvable
[11:02] <Digital_Dream> Can someone help me to get my wireless working in Ubuntu?
[11:02] <bulmer> AFaith: i dont think /etc/rc.d is as important as /etc/init.d  but hang on..let me compare to my Dapper
[11:02] <Waddledee> chdragonfly: what's your problem?
[11:02] <jinroh> Hello, I have downloaded and instaled "ubuntustudio-theme" and all that, how can I select it for use?
[11:02] <dmatysiak> everything online is about getting speedstep working. i want *NO SCALING* just full throttle.
[11:02] <AFaith> ok ...
[11:02] <chdragonfly> waddledee: my windows won't boot on a dual boot with linux T_T, it just takes me to a black screen
[11:03] <defcon> how do I irc on ipv6 in ubuntu
[11:03] <defcon> any documentation on that
[11:03] <bulmer> AFaith: /etc/rc.d does not even exist on mine..only /etc/init.d
[11:03] <spinull> i want to know how to use my surround sound with ubuntu
[11:03] <Slart> defcon: your isp supports ipv6?
[11:03] <Waddledee> chdragonfly: oh.  Sorry, but I know very little about linux, so I can't solve your problem.  Hopefully someone else can, though.
[11:03] <Slart> defcon: and the irc-server?
[11:03] <defcon> Slart, yet
[11:03] <defcon> yes

[11:29] (blackjackel/#ubuntu) vendor string SGI...
[11:29] (LjL/#ubuntu) lnxkde: you cannot just use the packaged drivers?
[11:29] (stefg/#ubuntu) Fezzler: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21745/
[11:29] (lnxkde/#ubuntu) also that happends when startx but the installation of the nvidia driver went ok (./nvidiadriver blah blah
[11:29] (blackjackel/#ubuntu) kitche, vendo string SGI, is that it?
[11:30] <mobutu> which graphical bittorrent client consumes the least memory/processor ?
[11:30] (lnxkde/#ubuntu) LjL: no I have a recompiled kernel for my hardware
[11:30] (blackjackel/#ubuntu) kitche, another verndor string says ATI
[11:30] (Fezzler/#ubuntu) stefg: After re-boot  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21747/
[11:30] (Memme/#ubuntu) Sons ...can u help me?
[11:30] (stefg/#ubuntu) Fezzler: do you see the disk on the desktop already
[11:30] (Rocito/#ubuntu) mobutu, i'm gonna say just use the terminal version, its graphical enough ;)
[11:30] <kitche> blackjackel: your most likely using the open source drivers
[11:31] <gubluntu> i have installed ubuntu fresh on a machine with a 15 inch elo touchscreen (serial interface).. appreantly ubuntu has recogized it because i see it has installed the input elo xorg driver automagically.. i just have no idea how to get it working now.....
[11:31] <Decepticon> hello theres this company (i forgot the website) that you pay money and they set up a full install ubuntu media center with dvr and all kinds of goodies, any idea who it is? or what the website is?
[11:31] <frederic> #ubuntu-fr
[11:31] <Dabian> PriceChild:  Here is what I plan to write .. is it good enough? "I had the same problem and found the same fix on the net." [NEWLINE]  "The fix works for me.  The file to change is /usr/lib/tinyerp-server/netsvc.py" [NEWLINE]  I'm running Ubuntu Feisty Fawn .
[11:31] <stefg> Fezzler: do you see the disk on the desktop already?
[11:31] <Fezzler> stefg:  I use a clean desktop
[11:31] <kayde> Heya, REALLY URGENT! that i am able to format this ipod so i can re-install software... how can i reformat it? is there a commmand?
[11:31] <PriceChild> Dabian, sounds great :)
[11:31] <blackjackel> kitche, thats what Im trying to find out, but my restricted drivers manager says im using restricted drivers
[11:31] <Fezzler> stefg:  Look in System or Places?
[11:31] <stefg> Fezzler: yes, look in computer
[11:32] <kitche> blackjackel: oh you might be using the ati drivers but not fully
[11:32] <Dabian> PriceChild: OK .. bug 113954 in Ubuntu is now confirmed. :)
[11:32] <blackjackel> kitche, how can I use them fully? I'm having serious framerate issues with games...
[11:32] <Rocito> Mobutu, just start a btlaunchmanycurses in any folder and keep it running, then put torrents you want downloaded into that folder and it starts them automatically. --max_upload_rate for max upload per download, --max_download_rate also works.
[11:32] <Memme> ....
[11:32] <Fezzler> stefg:  Yup, reports in as 183.3 GB Volume
[11:32] <kitche> !ati | blackjackel follow this since I don't like ATI drivers soI can't fix problems with them when people have them
[11:32] <ubotu> blackjackel follow this since I don't like ATI drivers soI can't fix problems with them when people have them: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:32] <Fezzler> stefg: that good?
[11:32] <ward_> how can i install something from source to a directory i choose myself?
[11:33] <stefg> Fezzler: i think taht disk didn't get a UUID during format, but that's fine
[11:33] <kayde> HOW do i format a mountable drive?!!!!
[11:33] <blackjackel> kitche, thanks, will do
[11:33] <PriceChild> kayde, delete all the files off of it?
[11:33] <Fezzler> stefg: What does that mean and will samba or smb or all that network stuff need a UUID?
[11:33] <kayde> PriceChild: that works?
[11:34] <ward_> kayde, depends :p
[11:34] <ward_> what u wanna achieve
[11:34] <Fylk> Hey guys, how do I sync evolution and Google Calendar?
[11:34] <PriceChild> kayde, no point really in doing anything else...
[11:34] <Rocito> ward_ you do that automatically by configure, make, make installing it without copying it to /usr/bin or w/e afaik.. at least i hope so! or my box is .. doomed.
[11:34] <PriceChild> kayde, unless you want to remove "evidence"
[11:34] <SonsOfAtreus> keyde, a lesson on 'format':    http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdln_format.htm
[11:34] <lnxkde> Do I need to build a resticted modules packges for my running kernel, to get the nvidia driver from nviodia.com working?
[11:34] <lnxkde> when I do modprobe nvidia I get a error that says FATAL : could not lounch nvidia install script
[11:34] <lnxkde> also that happends when startx but the installation of the nvidia driver went ok (./nvidiadriver blah blah
[11:34] <kayde> ward_: i have a software-screwd ipod, and only linux finds it, so i need to format it
[11:34] <stefg> Fezzler: so far so good... we need to enter the info into /etc/fstab now to make the disk usable for samba. Ansd, no, samba doesn't need a UUID, that's just ubuntu weirdness. we're going to mount it by /dev/ name... works as well
[11:34] <jrib> Rocito: make install  usually puts stuff in /usr/local/ by default
[11:34] <Memme> I try to re-ask you the big question....
[11:34] <Memme> Is possible to remove the "default" emblems in Nautilus????
[11:34] <ward_> kayde, then its not enough to delete the files
[11:34] <SonsOfAtreus> kayde, a lesson on 'format':    http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdln_format.htm
[11:35] <ward_> (but u can allways try)
[11:35] <Rocito> jrib ouch.
[11:35] <jrib> ward_: you can usually change the prefix at the ./configure stage with:  ./configure --prefix /my/special/prefix
[11:35] <ward_> jrib, yeah
[11:35] <shawn34> im using pscal to calibrate my gamepad. but everytime i reboot... i have to calibrate again. any ideas?

[11:36] <kayde> SonsOfAtreus: im sorry, i dont have a clue what that is saying... im 2days experianced with linux
[11:36] <Rocito> its how I do it fylk
[11:36] <Dabian> PriceChild: THanks for your help!  If we all use "Ubuntu" [african meaning] , we'll end up with a better system. ;)
[11:36] <Fezzler> stefg: got it.  Just copy and past into fstab?
[11:36] <Icehag> what the root password  for 6.10 edgy eft
[11:36] <kayde> SonsOfAtreus: any simple ways that you know of?
[11:37] <jrib> !root > Icehag (see the private message from ubotu)
[11:37] <stefg> Fezzler: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab .... add the /dev/hdb1 line
[11:37] <Dabian> Icehag: There is none.
[11:37] <Dabian> Icehag: You don't need it.
[11:37] <Rocito> wll
[11:37] <Rocito> you can always sudo passwd
[11:37] <Icehag> asks me for password when doing sudo
[11:37] <shawn34> im using pscal to calibrate my gamepad. but everytime i reboot... i have to calibrate again. any ideas?
[11:37] <Memme> ...ok, it's not my time,,, I'll come back soon...
[11:38] <Dabian> Icehag: Thats just your userpassword.
[11:38] <Rocito> icehag just use your own password
[11:38] <Icehag> ok
[11:38] <Fezzler> stefg: Done
[11:39] <stefg> Fezzler: sudo mount -a
[11:39] <stefg> Fezzler: save the fstab first, of course
[11:39] <Fezzler> stefg: gksudo important over sudo...I've been using sudo
[11:39] <stefg> Fezzler: no... don't  mond
[11:39] <stefg> mind
[11:40] <Fezzler> stefg: DONE sudo mount -a

[11:40] <toti> #palug
[11:41] <Fezzler> stefg: Interesting: New drive no longer visible in Places>Computer???
[11:41] <__mikem> Okay, I need to know, is the NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 supported by linux?
[11:41] <stefg> Fezzler: so you should have your shiny new drive now mounted in /srv. verify by just issuing 'mount'
[11:41] <Fezzler> stefg: just type mount at the command line prompt?
[11:41] <stefg> Fezzler: that's correct. it doesn#t show no more in computer if it's mounted outside of medo
[11:41] <stefg> Fezzler: yes
[11:42] <shawn34> __mikem, linux supports whatever nvidia linux drivers support
[11:42] <jc> anyone help me? i'm trying to work out how to get my machine to boot up at a specific time
[11:42] <Dabian> jc: BIOS
[11:42] <jc> that the only way?
[11:42] <shawn34> im using pscal to calibrate my gamepad. but everytime i reboot... i have to calibrate again. any ideas?
[11:42] <Dabian> jc: Well .. that depends ..
[11:42] <__mikem> sbawn34, no I mean my brother says the reason my computer refuses to load the live ubuntu cd is because the video card is not supported, and I want to know if thats true or if its just a copout
[11:43] <dreameen> im gettin fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x33f7e0,0x00000000), stub!
 when trying to launch Command&Conquer 3 under wine
 any ideas?
[11:43] <oldude67> hey whats a good linux version to put on an old dell,with like little memory?
[11:43] <Fezzler> stefg: Is this what we were after: /dev/hdb1 on /srv type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
[11:43] <erUSUL> dreameen: are you sure wine supports the game?
[11:43] <stefg> Fezzler: bingo!
[11:43] <dreameen> yup
[11:43] <Cisyouc> olddude67: How little memory?
[11:43] <Fezzler> stefg: Thanks! You da man.
[11:43] <Crane> hmmm, seem's the resolv.conf is working but still having issues wiht network
[11:44] <jc> Dabian: depends on what?
[11:44] <__mikem> shawn34, no I mean my brother says the reason my computer refuses to load the live ubuntu cd is because the video card is not supported, and I want to know if thats true or if its just a copout
[11:44] <oldude67> Cisyouc: like only about 80 meg
[12:01] <Cisyouc> oldude67: CPU?
[12:01] <WonderWal> is feisty stable right now?
[12:01] <stefg> Fezzler: 2 things to do... 1.) there's 5% reserved for root (stupid in case of data-drives) 2.) make it available on the net
[12:01] <Fezzler> One last question.  As I config samba and smb.conf how do I point to that HD path?
[12:01] <oldude67> Cisyouc:p3 550
[12:01] <shawn34> __mikem, i have a on board nvidia 440go and live works well with any distro
[12:01] <Cisyouc> oldude67: You might be able to do xubuntu if you use the alternative CD to install.
[12:01] <Fezzler> stefg: didn't understand last instruction,  too techie for me
[12:01] <Dabian> jc: Loads of stuff ... basicly how much work you're prepared to do ..
[12:01] <jrib> WonderWal: yes, was released as stable in april
[12:01] <oldude67> Cisyouc: well its running slack 11 but its like real slow.
[12:01] <Cisyouc> oldude67: I'm not sure how great it will run though. I used to run Gnome/Debian on a p3 450 but it had more RAM. It'd probably work OK I guess.
[12:01] <__mikem> shawn34 then why won't this POS comptuer load the live cd
[12:01] <Cisyouc> oldude67: What Desktop Environment? KDE? Gnome? XFCE? *Box?
[12:01] <ward_> how can i convert windows text files into linux?
[12:01] <SonsOfAtreus> Where'd she go???  I finally found something for kayde....  'Using an iPod in Linux'    http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8160
[12:01] <stefg> Fezzler: sudo umount /srv && sudo tune2fs -m 0  /dev/hdb1  && sudo mount -a
[12:01] <oldude67> Cisyouc: kde
[12:01] <kazol> ffm: Thanks. I'll maximize / then.
[12:01] <Fezzler> stefg: I'm confused.  If I don't see second drive, how am I accessing it, creating directories on it, etc.
[12:01] <PaaC> Hi there. I've got an issue with Fiesty x86. When I boot from the CD the X window server fails to start. I have successfully installed it on VMware with the same CD. My hardware is a MacBook Pro C2D. Any suggestions?
[12:01] <Cisyouc> oldude67: Yeah, that's probably why. KDE is pretty intense. Try Xubuntu with the Alternate Install CD. It'll likely work smoother.
[12:01] <mEck0> I want to start coding for QT, is libqt4-dev the only package I need?
[12:01] <Fezzler> stefg: Done
[12:01] <stefg> Fezzler: first run the line i gave you above to get the drives full capacity
[12:01] <Fezzler> stefg: Done
[12:01] <oldude67> Cisyouc: thanks....ill check into it
[12:01] <ward_> how can i convert windows text files into linux?
[12:01] <chdragonfly> how can i change the boot.ini file from linux?
[12:01] <kazol> what's the difference between primary and logical partitions?
[12:01] <jrib> ward_: dos2unixin the "tofrodos" package
[12:01] <stefg> Fezzler: so it's now mounted in /srv again... there it is. so have you installed samba already ?
[12:01] <jrib> ward_: dos2unix in the "tofrodos" package
[12:01] <ward_> jrib, will see thanx
[12:01] <Fezzler> stefg: Samba is installed can configure simply
[12:01] <boxgamex> DCC SEND "THINNING_TEH_HEARD" 0 0 0
[12:01] <Fezzler> stefg: Again, I'm confused, is it configured to be transparent?  How come I don't see the new drive in Places>Computer
[12:01] <stefg> Fezzler: the whole drive now appears in /srv . navigate to 7srv and you'll fin it's got 180+ GB free there
[12:01] <stefg> boooahhh ... lag
[12:01] <LjL> PriceChild: sigh. i just did yasumoto too.. :P
[12:01] <James_> can anybody help me get my ZyXEL USB Wireless adapter working in Ubuntu 7.04?
[12:01] <stefg> Fezzler: the whole drive now appears in /srv . navigate to /srv and you'll fin it's got 180+ GB free there
[12:01] <ytoox> I need help with ekiga, can anybody help? I registered but my account doesn't get registered when I try ekiga
[12:01] <Fezzler> stefg:  Hold on. I'm getting my mind around this.  I think I understand'
[12:01] <James_> Is it possible to get the ZyXEL G-202 working in Ubuntu, I can see it in Device Manager but it wont work :(
[12:01] <majd> hey, the sound from my speakers is really crappy
[12:01] <BigToe> How come I can
[12:01] <stefg> Fezzler: that is what mountpoint are about. Abstarct physical drives from the filesystem
[12:01] <BigToe> er
[12:01] <ward_> lol wtf is happening?
[12:01] <chdragonfly> how can i change a file that's in the windows partition?
[12:01] <BigToe> How come I can't SSH into my Ubuntu Server any more? I type in my server's domain name, connect but the connection times out.
[12:01] <James_> BigToe: Were u talking to me?
[12:01] <BigToe> no James_ :S
[12:01] <James_> :(
[12:01] <Fezzler> stefg: what is the ls command option to show the 183 gig.  Right now it just returns lost and found
[12:01] <James_> lol
[12:01] <James_> I really want this working
[12:01] <ward_> chdragonfly, i'm not sure but i think its only possible to write to FAT32, not NTFS, but i'm not sure at all
[12:01] <SlimG> What is required of the ssh server to allow a client to setup a reversed ssh tunnel to the server?
[12:01] <stefg> Fezzler: that's correct. lost+found is a system dir required for ext3
[12:01] <BigToe> I can't currently connect via 192.168.1.*** because my router isn't working 100% correctly :S
[12:01] <Fezzler> stefg: but I get it.  Very cool.  For my server purposes, the entire drive is simply the /srv folder
[12:01] <stefg> Fezzler: welcome to the wonderful wold of unix/linux :-)

[12:01] <Fezzler> stefg: from the Ubuntu box, Vista HP, iMacG5 and maybe iMacG3 if I can get AppleSHare to work on a G3.

[12:01] <johnficca2> does bluetooth work with ubuntu?
[12:01] <Fezzler> stefg: so far, my biggest trouble in configuring smb.conf is the permissions.

[12:01] <ikonia> imbecile: then I suspect it will be in the theme file
[12:01] <ikonia> files
[12:01] <chdragonfly> lilacor: i was following the guide on here... http://www.arsgeek.com/?p=675 it doesn't really say anything, just that when i try to save the boot.ini file, it just says its a read only file
