[12:01] <stefg> Fezzler: ooohhh... samba is a science for itself... first make sure the drive is shared.
[12:01] <Lilacor> johnficca2: that depends what you mean
[12:01] <stefg> samba | Fezzler
[12:01] <stefg> !samba | Fezzler
[12:01] <ubotu> Fezzler: 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
[12:01] <johnficca2> jabra is connected via bluetooth
[12:01] <stefg> Fezzler: now digest the howto's
[12:01] <Broccoly_> is there some gui utlity to config a multi button mouse?
[12:01] <Lilacor> johnficca2: the linux bluetooth stack works well but not all devices will be able to be used even if they're bluetooth
[12:02] <johnficca2> but I'm tring to connect to skype with btsco
[12:02] <darkos> #ubuntu.es
[12:02] <Lilacor> johnficca2: sorry, I haven't a clue what that is
[12:02] <Fezzler> I will.  Thanks stefg. Enough help from you for one day!  Correction, /srv folder is shared, not drive, right?
[12:02] <zabovo> jabra and linux: http://www.maven.pl/?p=22
[12:03] <stefg> Fezzler: right, you got the hang
[12:03] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: how did you mount your ntfs volume?
[12:03] <Fezzler> stefg: I'm gonna try to get swat running to get configuring samba a little easier
[12:04] <chdragonfly> lilacor: i just used gksu gedit /etc/fstab and changed the ntfs to ntfs-3g
[12:04] <Fezzler> stefg:  See, I knew my fearless use of command line from days of CP/M would come in handy!
[12:04] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: and then?
[12:04] <SonsOfAtreus> Broccoly_, like logitech?  they're in synaptid
[12:04] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: it's not going to mount just by editing your fstab
[12:04] <Fezzler> stefg: God Bless
[12:04] <stefg> Fezzler: would you use signs and gestures when you could just talk
[12:05] <chdragonfly> lilacor: then what does do i need to do?
[12:05] <SonsOfAtreus> synaptic even
[12:05] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: first of all it sounds like you're using just native-kernel NTFS
[12:05] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: you need to make a mount point for the volume underneath /media first
[12:05] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: it doesn't have to be under media but that's a good place to start
[12:06] <Wicks> lo all... can anyone recommend a good newsreader that supports NZB files and SSL encryption?
[12:06] <Fezzler> stefg: Yes, I need to learn Ubuntu/Linux/Unix commands again.  I used to play on Unix and DEC and VAXs
[12:06] <chdragonfly> lilacor: can you do it step by step like how to do that? im completely new to commandline and linux
[12:06] <Broccoly_> SonOfAtreus: whats synaptid?
[12:06] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: you could put it under /this/computer/is/really/broken
[12:06] <SonsOfAtreus> a typo
[12:06] <Broccoly_> SonsOfAtreus: : whats synaptid?
[12:06] <stefg> Fezzler: so you have got your basic linux command line diploma today :-)
[12:06] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: anyhow so mkdir /media/foo
[12:06] <SonsOfAtreus> 'synaptic oackage manager'
[12:06] <Fezzler> stefg: I also used some php and shell scripting to get my wife's Web site running well
[12:06] <SonsOfAtreus> 'synaptic package manager'
[12:07] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: figure out what your NTFS volume is...unmount it from its current state
[12:07] <stefg> Fezzler: and feel proud not having used a whimpish gui :-)
[12:07] <Fezzler> stefg: Is the command line for Ubuntu specialized in anyway or does any Linux command line book set me up?
[12:07] <chdragonfly> lilacor: when i tried to mkdrive, it says permission denied
[12:07] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: use sudo
[12:07] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: use sudo for all non user files
[12:08] <chdragonfly> lilacor: ok, created
[12:08] <SonsOfAtreus> Broccoly, gnome users find it when they do    system / Admin / synaptic
[12:08] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: so if I tell you mkdir .... type in 'sudo mkdir....'
[12:08] <kazol> I have trouble partitioning, it says something like the root filesystem is not defined.
[12:08] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: umount your ntfs drive
[12:08] <stefg> Fezzler: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO/
[12:08] <chdragonfly> lilacor: how to umount?
[12:08] <stefg> cli | Fezzler
[12:08] <kazol> I'm trying to partition 2x10GB for software RAID-1
[12:09] <m1r> hi all
[12:09] <SonsOfAtreus> Broccoly, are you a gnome user?
[12:09] <stefg> !cli | Fezzler
[12:09] <ubotu> Fezzler: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[12:09] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: umount /volume/mount/location
[12:09] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: wherever you mounted the ntfs volume
[12:09] <Shaddox> Hi everyone. I am having trouble with cpufreqd, can someone help?
[12:09] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: if you don't know, use df -h
[12:09] <Fezzler> stefg: bookmarked both
[12:10] <Lilacor> Shaddox: it's helpful if you tell people what problems you're having first
[12:10] <Fezzler> !cli
[12:10] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[12:10] <Shaddox> Lilacor: It won't start, restart, or scale my cpu according to the cpufreqd.conf I modified.
[12:10] <chdragonfly> lilacor: my ntfs is in /dev/sda1 what is line im suppose to type to cmd?
[12:10] <Fezzler> stefg: Learned a lot about IRC today to:  Paste, ! commands, /join, etc.
[12:10] <Lilacor> Shaddox: did you monitor your kernel messages as well as system messages?
[12:10] <SonsOfAtreus> Broccoly, in the taskbar find,  System / Administration / Synaptic PM  then click 'Search' and enter Logitech in the window, and make sure it's set to look in 'Name and Description'
[12:10] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: yes but where is it mounted on your computer right now?
[12:11] <stefg> Fezzler: and the nice thing is... this works on OSX's terminal, too. Macs use bash (?) as well
[12:11] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: you said you can read from the ntfs volume, correct?
[12:11] <Shaddox> Lilacor: I can't change terminals out of tty7 otherwise my video screws.
[12:11] <chdragonfly> lilacor: i don't understand what you mean
[12:11] <chdragonfly> lilacor: /media/sda1
[12:11] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: are you able to view files off of your ntfs volume or not?
[12:11] <Fezzler> stefg: Yea, my OS X box sees all the computers on my home network.
[12:11] <Fezzler> stefg: Vista HP is a dog
[12:11] <chdragonfly> lilacor: yes, and i found its mounted on /media/sda1
[12:11] <Lilacor> Shaddox: ctrl+alt+Fn ...you can only use n=7?
[12:12] <darkos> ubuntu.ve
[12:12] <Fezzler> stefg: Plus I need to get straight on permissions
[12:12] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: okay... good
[12:12] <darkos> #ubuntu.ve
[12:12] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: now let's umount it
[12:12] <Shaddox> Lilacor: Yep.
[12:12] <Lilacor> Shaddox: your computer is hosed..that is super wacky
[12:12] <SonsOfAtreus> 'Earth to Broccoly_'  how's things doing?
[12:12] <kazol> I'm trying to partition 2x10GB software RAID but I get "root filesystem is not specified"
[12:12] <Shaddox> Lilacor: It's just this particular laptop and linux.
[12:12] <babbleback> why would man pages not display the correct characters all the time? for example: man time has: The format string FORMAT controls the contents of the time output.  The format  string can be set using the -f or --format, -v or --ver       bose, or -p or --portability options.
[12:12] <orangefly> anyone know where i can get a good ubuntu lightscribe image....???....
[12:12] <darkos> i need format my pc >.<
[12:12] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: sudo umount /media/sda1
[12:12] <tokj> aloha
[12:13] <Shaddox> Lilacor: I have no problem with the OS itself, just with changing terminals.
[12:13] <Fezzler> stefg: Should I use id and passwd protection on home network in case fire walls fail as added protection
[12:13] <chdragonfly> lilacor: ok, done
[12:13] <darkos> but i can't in to the bios
[12:13] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: okay so you installed ntfs-3g already correct/
[12:13] <Broccoly_> SonsOfAtreus: : i didnt understand what you meant by synaptid
[12:13] <kazol> How the hell do I partition RAID? I'm trying to partition 2x10GB HDs but the installer gives me the error msg "root fs not specified."
[12:13] <SonsOfAtreus> Broccoly_, do you use Gnome?
[12:13] <Lilacor> Shaddox: still..that is super wacky.  :-/
[12:13] <Shaddox> Lilacor: It was working at one point. :/
[12:13] <chdragonfly> lilacor: im pretty sure i installed it
[12:13] <Fezzler> stefg: One, absolutely one, last Q?
[12:13] <Merrigan> hellos all
[12:14] <Shaddox> Lilacor: The scaling, i mean. I need to scale my processor at 50% at all times, to keep my system from overheating.
[12:14] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: what happens when you enter ntfs-3g?
[12:14] <darkos> HELLLLLLLLP!  I NEED FORMAT MY PC
[12:14] <Neil-> chill out darkos
[12:14] <Neil-> whats up?
[12:14] <kazol> Does anyone here know howto partition RAID?? I've been trying to get an answer for 2 months already.
[12:14] <Lilacor> darkos: uhhhh...you also need a valium
[12:14] <Broccoly_> SonsOfAtreus: : yup
[12:14] <orangefly> anyone know where i can get a good ubuntu lightscribe image....???....
[12:14] <SonsOfAtreus> Broccoly_, in the taskbar find,  System / Administration / Synaptic Package Manager --- then click 'Search' and enter Logitech in the window, and make sure it's set to look in 'Description and Name'
[12:14] <Shaddox> darkos: use the Ubunu installer, you can format the machine using it.
[12:15] <stefg> Fezzler: a question of your personal paranoia level... if you setup samba smart you have corresponding accounts on thze server and the client, so passwords are used transparntly for your home users but won#t gtant anyone access
[12:15] <kazol> I guess not many people use software RAID?
[12:15] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: if you get nothing, you'll know if you installed it or not
[12:15] <chdragonfly> lilacor: it says no device specifies, but displays ntfs-3g 1.328 Theird generation and some copyright stuff
[12:15] <jad> hey, how do i change my keyring password
[12:15] <jad> ?
[12:15] <darkos> ok
[12:15] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: did you add your username to the fuse group?
[12:15] <Merrigan> hmmm....interesting channel. only irc support channel I have ever seen activity in
[12:15] <kazol> How do I partition RAID?
[12:15] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: if not, 'sudo adduser <username> fuse'
[12:15] <chdragonfly> lilacor: how do i add username to fuse group?
[12:15] <SonsOfAtreus> Broccoly_, I may have missed whether or not you use Logitech with the multi-buttoned mouse
[12:15] <jad> also, how do i check to see what kind of sound card my laptop has?
[12:16] <crimsun> jad: `asoundconf list'
[12:16] <Jordan_U> !RAID kazol
[12:16] <Shaddox> Lilacor: If I don't scale my CPU, my machine will overheat the instant I start my WineX, or Cedega.
[12:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about raid kazol - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:16] <kazol> What does the "root FS not specified" error msg mean??
[12:16] <Jordan_U> !RAID | kazol
[12:16] <Shaddox> !RAID >kazol
[12:16] <ubotu> kazol: Raid and LVM --> very easy guide for alternate CD : http://users.piuha.net/martti/comp/ubuntu/raid.html Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[12:16] <Fezzler> With samba, I need to give users permission and set sharing permissions for folders on both client and server (Ubuntu)?
[12:16] <chdragonfly> lilacor: added
[12:16] <kazol> Jordan_U: I've followed all online guides and howto's, none of them work!
[12:16] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: what did you just type into the terminal?
[12:16] <chdragonfly> sudo adduser jxh fuse
[12:16] <kazol> I don't understand how the people who wrote the guides managed to setup RAID.
[12:17] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: okay good
[12:17] <Fezzler> stefg:  Once smb is conf (I know, no easy task) all I need to do is MAP to the drives in /srv we created
[12:17] <Merrigan> rite, let's see what happens when I throw my little question into the pile
[12:17] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: now it's time to manually mount your ntfs drive using ntfs-3g
[12:17] <jad> crimsun, it just says Intel...
[12:17] <Broccoly_> SonsOfAtreus: : yes a logitech trackball, i was reading on the internets what others have done to their xorg.conf, mine just doesnt want to scroll
[12:17] <Shaddox> kazol: I don't know anything about RAID, just that Windows always needed third-party drivers for most RAID devices
[12:17] <jonnydev135> I'm trying to follow a tutorial that wants me to run apache2-ssl-certificate, but I don't have it.  Does anybody know what package this is in, or if it has been renamed?
[12:17] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: so 'ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/sda1'
[12:17] <stefg> Fezzler: if you think in windows terms, yes
[12:17] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: make sure that sda1 exists under /media
[12:17] <crimsun> jad: so you probably have HDA.  please read http://www.linux-sound.info/alsa/index.php?task=support and tell me the URL of the paste generated by the script linked from that page.
[12:17] <Shaddox> jonnydev135: Try the Apache Foundation's website. http://www.apache.org/
[12:18] <Shaddox> jonnydev135: Search up the docs.
[12:18] <Lilacor> Shaddox: I feel for you
[12:18] <Lilacor> Shaddox: that sounds like pulling teeth
[12:18] <jonnydev135> Shaddox: ok
[12:18] <Fezzler> stefg: Well, thanks again. Enough for one day.  I got two Samba books here and a link to samba.org for tonight.
[12:18] <Shaddox> Lilacor: It's either scale it down, or take it apart and replace the thermal grease. Which I have NEVER heard of before. :/
[12:18] <kazol> This is ridiculous. I followed all directions on howto setup software RAID. I guess not many people use RAID at all?
[12:18] <Jordan_U> Lilacor, ntfs-config set's up NTFS partitions automatically if that helps
[12:18] <stefg> Fezzler: so have fun with 200 GB to fill :-)
[12:18] <Merrigan> I have a Pentium III 450 MHz, with 128Mb of RAM. I need ubutu installed on it preferably. Is it possible? Which Version? and if it is (with Feisty) how do I go about doing so? I have been struggling to get it going now since yesterday, and I don't have advice for myself anymore
[12:18] <Fezzler> stefg: see ya around and thanks.  UBUNTU ROCKS!
[12:19] <Lilacor> Jordan_U: what do you mean?
[12:19] <chdragonfly> lilacor: it says "failed to mount 'dev/sda1; operation not supported, mount is denied because NTFS logfile is unclean
[12:19] <SonsOfAtreus> Broccoly_ in Synaptic is a file called   'Logitech-applet'  that is a "Logitech mouse tweaking utility'
[12:19] <Sivik> how do i assign a static ip to a network interface via gui
[12:19] <Sivik> via CLI*
[12:19] <jad> crimsun, what options should i use it with?
[12:19] <gnomefreak> Merrigan: very possible start by downloading the alternate cd from ubuntu.com
[12:19] <stefg> Merrigan: use an alternate install of xubuntu. 256 MB is required for ubuntu
[12:19] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: okay, do you have a win32 box lying around?
[12:19] <crimsun> jad: the default ones (none)
[12:19] <gnomefreak> stefg: ubuntu runs fine on that
[12:20] <gnomefreak> i have same set up
[12:20] <chdragonfly> lilacor: what's a win32 box? if its the cd that windows come with, no
[12:20] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: because I think you're going to need it now
[12:20] <Merrigan> aaah ok, I see. I will then have to download that tomorrow...and see if I can find some more ram for this machine ;)
[12:20] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: box as in computer
[12:20] <crdlb> Merrigan: I have the same computer and it runs ubuntu fine after adding another 128MB of ram
[12:20] <SonsOfAtreus> Broccoly_, maybe I've helped you enough,   (waiting and waiting and waiting.......)
[12:20] <chdragonfly> lilacor: i don't get it?
[12:21] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: you're probably going to have to take the ntfs drive and run a chkdsk /f on it
[12:21] <stefg> gnomefreak: i never tried, just spreading the official propaganda. on a 128 MB machine xubuntu is definitely better fun
[12:21] <Merrigan> crdlb: I will then definitely check it out :)
[12:21] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: using *windows*
[12:21] <Merrigan> thanx all, that is all
[12:21] <Merrigan> I'm off *waves*
[12:21] <arnoT> hi all. anyone know how to set wacom in xorg.conf? I can set correct settings with a script running different xsetwacom lines, but can't seem to make them default in X startup?
[12:21] <chdragonfly> lilacor: i can't boot windows right now, that's why im trying to change teh boot.ini file
[12:21] <Broccoly_> SonsOfAtreus: : it describes logitech-applet as a tweaker of logitech specific settings ;-) scrolling seems like it should be done in xorf.conf heh
[12:21] <Cryoniq> Problem: I am trying to get my wireless network PCI card Netgear WGT311T working on Ubuntu 6.10 and WPA etc. I have the wpaapplicant installet, I edited the network file, added ENABLE=0 to wpaapplicant file, restarted and touched file. But when I load gnome I get error message that NetworkManager Applet couldnt proceed because it is missing something..
[12:21] <gnomefreak> stefg: i run ubuntu here fine on my p3 this pc im on isnt the one but i have like 6 set up
[12:21] <Toyd> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DEcRtYLkt8
[12:22] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: do you have a BartPE CD around?
[12:22] <jad> crimsun, how do i execute it? simply running it as a command isn't working
[12:22] <Cryoniq> And I restarted dbus after reboot also btw..
[12:22] <chdragonfly> lilacor: what's a bartPE cd? i don't think i have it
[12:22] <jad> crimsun, sudo: ./alsa-info.sh: command not found
[12:23] <jad> that isn't working either
[12:23] <jad> oh nvm, i just found the instructions
[12:23] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: it's a windows utility CD
[12:23] <Broccoly_> SonsOfAtreus: : logitech-applet doesn't seem to do anything but set resolutions and "cruise"
[12:23] <chdragonfly> lilacor: i think i lost mine
[12:24] <chdragonfly> lilacor: is there anyway to make my windows boot? without the windows utility cd?
[12:24] <webcrawle> any idea when the new kernel 2.6.21.1 will be released to the repos?
[12:24] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: you have to create one yourself ...I'm sure you didn't have it in the first place or you wouldn've kjnown what it is
[12:24] <SonsOfAtreus> broccoly_, you could try the reset command for the xorg.conf file...   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg  ..... maybe things will be detected.
[12:24] <jad> crimsun, http://pastebin.ca/499158
[12:24] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: do you have your windows CD?
[12:24] <chdragonfly> lilacor: no, other than the ubuntu installation cd, i don't have any cds T_T
[12:25] <Zampaktu> hi, i have a sony vaio, with the base feisty installation my volou up/down keys work fine, after updates it does not work anymore (mute still works) has anybody seen this (and know a fix)?
[12:25] <pc_> I have four monitors on my ubuntu machine YAY!!
[12:25] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: you're hosed
[12:25] <crimsun> jad: what's the issue?
[12:25] <oSh> hola
[12:25] <Zampaktu> volume
[12:25] <webcrawle> anyone?
[12:25] <gnomefreak> webcrawle: it will not be release for ubuntu at all. 2.6.22 is going in gutsy feistys kernel stays the same
[12:25] <jad> crimsun, the sound is extremely distorted at any relatively high volume
[12:25] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: go get your friend's windows CD and boot into recovery mode with it
[12:25] <Broccoly_> SonsOfAtreus: : nope it doesnt know about this mouse, or that is has 4 buttons
[12:25] <jad> like, it doesn't even sound like music
[12:25] <jad> sounds like someone's farting
[12:25] <pc_> I have four monitors on my ubuntu machine YAY!!
[12:25] <crimsun> jad: but it works and is audible at normal (mid-level) volumes?
[12:25] <chdragonfly> lilacor: i can access windows recovery, but there's no way by fixing around stuff i can boot windows?
[12:26] <Broccoly_> SonsOfAtreus: : xorg.conf has to be modded manually, and i thought there is a gui app and it doesnt work with the settings i'm using
[12:26] <jad> crimsun, yeah it's perfect at mid to low level
[12:26] <oSh> Sabeis como se activa lo de los espacios de trabajo en forma de cubo? Lo tengo marcado en "Efectos de escritorio" y los efectos de las ventanas van bien todos pero, el cubo no se activa y anteriormente s que he conseguido hacerlo funcionar.
[12:26] <Toyd> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DEcRtYLkt8
[12:26] <crimsun> jad: ok, then that's a hardware issue.
[12:26] <crimsun> jad: we can attempt to workaround it in software, but it will only mask the real hardware issue.
[12:26] <webcrawle> gnomefreak: hmmm...ok any guides to compile my own, ive tried unsuccesfully before
[12:26] <pc_> chdragonfly: if you mbr is messed up type this: fixmbr and fixboot. Then you can restart and boot back into xp
[12:26] <Lilacor> Shaddox: I'm not registered. I can't send /msg
[12:26] <Shaddox> oSh, ingles por favor, habla ingles?
[12:26] <Shaddox> Ah damn.
[12:26] <oSh> ahm, sorry
[12:26] <sysko> hola
[12:26] <gnomefreak> webcrawle: there are but ive never seen them nor used them
[12:26] <sysko> hello
[12:26] <Shaddox> it's okay, amigo
[12:26] <jad> crimsun, can i send my laptop with ubuntu on it to HP and ask them to fix it? or do companies not fix computers with linux on them?
[12:27] <sysko> alguien habla espaol?
[12:27] <chdragonfly> pc_: where do i type fixmbr
[12:27] <SonsOfAtreus> Broccoly_, maybe look into the file:    libgii1
[12:27] <gnomefreak> sysko: join #ubuntu-es
[12:27] <Shaddox> oSh: whats yer problem
[12:27] <pc_> at the xp recovery.
[12:27] <crimsun> jad: no idea.  You need to contact their tech support.
[12:27] <Lilacor> jad: how much money do you have?
[12:27] <sysko> speak spanish?
[12:27] <webcrawle> anyone else have a guide for getting the 2.6.21.1 kernel working in feisty
[12:27] <gnomefreak> sysko: in #ubuntu-es they speak spanish
[12:27] <jad> crimsun, but even when i put the headphones in the same problem happens
[12:27] <jad> and the headphones aren't broken or anything, they're fine on my other computer
[12:28] <Shaddox> sysko: ahorra a /join #ubuntu-es por habla espanol
[12:28] <Shaddox> i hope i said that right XD
[12:28] <chdragonfly> pc_; i don't get it? like at the xp recovery, there's only 2 option, destructive restore and full system restore with backup
[12:28] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: uhhhh
[12:28] <pc_> chdragonfly: boot xp cd. then hit r to go to recovery console, then type that.
[12:29] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: when you boot you have the option of going into recovery mode
[12:29] <Toyd> use windows next next done
[12:29] <Toyd> bsod reinstall next next
[12:29] <chdragonfly> pc_: i don't have the xp cd
[12:29] <Shaddox> chdragonfly: I'm a Windows expert, what's wrong with windows?
[12:29] <laser2> Please how eliminate message [Press RETURN to try, 'no' + RETURN to abort]  in add/remove aplication?
[12:29] <pc_> chdragonfly: then your screwed.
[12:29] <Gat0rvean> Can anyone tell me what "Evolution Exchange" and "Evolution Alarm Manager" are, and why they are enabled for startup, and how to disable them?
[12:29] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: you're hosed
[12:29] <Shaddox> Tis what I've used till about 2 months ago
[12:29] <webcrawle> anyone have the links to the ubuntu nighly builds?
[12:29] <Toyd> use ajax to clean your windows
[12:29] <chdragonfly> shaddox: my windows won't boot...and apparently 2 person just told me its hopeless
[12:30] <orbisvicis> hey, whats a recommended firewall for ubuntu ?
[12:30] <Shaddox> chdragonfly: Is your boot.ini alright?
[12:30] <Lilacor> chdragonfly: don't you have any friends you can borrow their windows CD from?
[12:30] <esther> #ubuntu-br
[12:30] <gnomefreak> chdragonfly: try in a windows channel maybe?
[12:30] <webcrawle> firewall-firestarter
[12:30] <laser2> Please how eliminate message [Press RETURN to try, 'no' + RETURN to abort]  in add/remove aplication?
[12:30] <orbisvicis> thnx
[12:30] <Jordan_U> !firewall > orbisvicis
[12:30] <Shaddox> orbisvicis: Linux/Ubuntu comes with the iptables filterer, but I recommended Firestarter.
[12:30] <steve44> chdragonfly, http://www.bootdisk.com/  ?
[12:30] <Shaddox> orbisvicis: You can just search up Firestarter in the Add/Remove Programs menu entry.
[12:31] <orbisvicis> also, hows the blackdown java package?
[12:31] <chdragonfly> o wow, thanks steve44
[12:31] <gnomefreak> orbisvicis: install sun-java5-plugin
[12:31] <jad> crimsun, it's a software issue because the problem is the same with my headphones
[12:32] <crimsun> jad: no, it's a hardware issue.
[12:32] <gnomefreak> or if feisty enable backports and install sun-java6-plugin as it fixes some issues
[12:32] <orbisvicis> 'k
[12:32] <jad> crimsun, but like i said...my headphones aren't broken
[12:32] <chdragonfly> shaddox: my boot ini looks like htis  			 				 [boot loader] 
[12:32] <chdragonfly> timeout=5
[12:32] <chdragonfly> default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW  S
[12:32] <chdragonfly> [operating systems] 
[12:32] <chdragonfly> multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro  soft Windows XP Home Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /noguiboot
[12:32] <crimsun> jad: the gain in the actual hardware is broken.  It's a common issue in newer HP laptops.
[12:32] <gnomefreak> chdragonfly: we are not a windows support channel
[12:32] <__mikem> I still can't get my stupid HP Pavilian to boot the ubuntu live CD, it starts to load the cd and hangs in a random spot
[12:33] <Shaddox> chdragonfly Try removing the /noguiboot. And get to me with a /msg, and we can do this in private.
[12:33] <jad> crimsun, and the gain controls output to both speakers and headphones?
[12:33] <Lilacor> __mikem: use the alternate install CD instead
[12:33] <crimsun> jad: already addressed that.
[12:33] <ash_> Anyone know how to get the mail client to accept the certificate related to my email account instead of asking everytime?
[12:34] <__mikem> Lilacor, if I use the alternate cd, then someone is oging to have to help me with the partitioning
[12:34] <gnomefreak> ash_: tell it to
[12:34] <Lilacor> __mikem: why? you should be able to figure things out on your own
[12:35] <Lilacor> __mikem: partitioning isn't some black magic that only a few of us know about
[12:35] <ash_> gnomefreak: I hit yes everytime.. is there anyway to get it to automatically accept the certificate or add it to a list of all approved certs?
[12:35] <__mikem> Lilacor, I have never done it before, and I think for someone who hasn't done ti before, having someone walk him through it is very reasonable
[12:36] <gnomefreak> ash_: check the settings for your mail client. now maybe if you told us what mail client someone can be helpful
[12:36] <Jordan_U> __mikem, If you have another comp available you can just hop on here for help
[12:36] <ash_> gnomefreak: evolution mail
[12:37] <gnomefreak> ash_: evo isnt my cup of tea but alot of people use it so possibly someone in here will know. but i would check settings/prefferences first as most GUI mail clients are able to accept them in htere
[12:37] <gnomefreak> there
[12:37] <ash_> gnomefreak: cool thanks
[12:37] <__mikem> Jordan_U, I know, thats what i am doing
[12:37] <Zampaktu> hi, i have a sony vaio, with the base feisty installation my volou up/down keys work fine, after updates it does not work anymore (mute still works) has anybody seen this (and know a fix)?
[12:38] <__mikem> I should have gotten a sony vaio instead of the hp pavilian
[12:39] <Lilacor> __mikem: Sony's support is dismal
[12:39] <gabito> ESto del ingles es medio jodido
[12:39] <Zampaktu> __mikem: i have a vaio, stay away from it

[12:40] <ironcladlou> if you have 2 physical drives, drive 1 is windows, drive 2 is linux, and you want to install grub into the mbr, do you enter "hd0" or "hd1" into the advanced options during install?
[12:40] <gabito> vamos a seguir leyendo un poco
[12:40] <Zampaktu> __mikem: system76 or maybe wait for dell?
[12:41] <__mikem> Zampaktu, the problem is, I already have the machine, it was a graduation present
[12:41] <SonsOfAtreus> Lilacor, I don't understand that one

[12:41] <fiberoptics> Hey, i seem to have the following issue but cannot find a fix on google/docs/etc: I have a widescreen monitor on an ATI mobility radeon video card. Though the resolution is messed up in X.org and I can't seem to change it to the appropriate value. (I don't know hsync or vsync of monitor to edit xorg.conf either, since I don't know the model of the monitor :()
[12:41] <__mikem> I would just use wubi, but wubi does'nt work on vista
[12:41] <SonsOfAtreus> Lilacor, you're trying to make me have bad dreams?

[12:43] <SonsOfAtreus> Lilacor, oh, I see.
[12:43] <__mikem> Lilacor, it was a present, and if I tell my dad I want to return it because it won't boot linux I will never hear the end of it

[12:44] <Shaddox> Lilacor: I still need help with cpufreqd. ^^
[12:44] <gabito> muchas thenkyus.... ahora se que la instalacion fue un exito y salgo a la red chauusssssssss
[12:45] <fiberoptics> Does anyone have any suggestions? :
[12:45] <Shaddox> Lilacor: I uninstalled and reinstalled cpufreqd and got some insight into my error, but I'm still stumped.
[12:45] <Lilacor> __mikem: tell him you want a different laptop... if he throws a tomato <or some other rotten vegetation> at you then you'll have to work with what you have right nwo
[12:45] <Lilacor> Shaddox: so you only have a console... no kdm/gdm correct?
[12:45] <Shaddox> No cpufreq interface found, not starting cpufreqd.
[12:45] <Shaddox> I am on GDM
[12:45] <webcrawle> what is the link to download the snapshot builds of ubuntu?
[12:45] <Lilacor> Shaddox: okay open up two terminal windows
[12:46] <Shaddox> But I cannot switch AWAY from my F7 terminal [My Xorg Ubuntu GUI] 
[12:46] <Shaddox> Both are up
[12:46] <Lilacor> Shaddox: one to monitor dmesg and one to monitor /var/log/messages
[12:46] <Shaddox> How? Huh?
[12:46] <Lilacor> Shaddox: then restart your cpufreqd
[12:47] <Shaddox> Monitor wha?
[12:47] <Lilacor> Shaddox: tail -f /var/log/messages
[12:47] <fiberoptics> :(
[12:47] <webcrawle> anyone?
[12:47] <Shaddox> okay and the dmesg one?
[12:48] <Lilacor> tail -f /var/log/dmesg
[12:48] <Shaddox> Lilacor: You said I had to monitor dmesg too, how?
[12:48] <Shaddox> ah
[12:48] <Shaddox> Thanks
[12:48] <Jordan_U> webcrawle, #ubuntu+
[12:48] <Jordan_U> #ubuntu+1
[12:48] <cholera> how do you pronounce Ubuntu?
[12:48] <Lilacor> restart your cpufreqd
[12:48] <Lilacor> Shaddox: then see what errors occur
[12:49] <Shaddox> Lilacor: /etc/init.d/cpufreqd restart
[12:49] <Shaddox> Lilacor: right?
[12:49] <Lilacor> should be
[12:49] <SonsOfAtreus> OO-boon-too
[12:49] <yghor> hello, does anyone knows the command for finding your own ipadress from the terminal... i totally forgot
[12:49] <Shaddox> Lilacor: Neither of them said anything new
[12:49] <cholera> ip addr
[12:49] <Shaddox> Lilacor: But it still said fail
[12:50] <Jordan_U> cholera, You can here Nelson Mandella say: totem ~/examples/Experience-ubuntu.ogg
[12:50] <webcrawle> HaSH love the script
[12:50] <Lilacor> Shaddox: are there any log files under /var/log related to that program?
[12:50] <SonsOfAtreus> cholera, and the neat thing is, you don't have to be black to use it. :)
[12:50] <Shaddox> Lilacor: LEt me start Nautilus and browse my way there.
[12:50] <rockstar_> Has anyone ever succeeded in installing ubuntu to a usb hard drive?
[12:50] <TheSheep> The scanning program says: "error: Access to resource has been denied". I'm in the proper group, and the scanner used to work. Any hints on what went wrong?
[12:51] <Shaddox> Lilacor: I see daemon.log, if that's it. And daemon.log.0
[12:51] <Lilacor> Shaddox: type in dmesg | tail and see if you have any relevant information there
[12:51] <yghor> cholera: thanks

[12:51] <Lilacor> Shaddox: okay check that then
[12:51] <Shaddox> Lilacor: All that comes up is stuff involving my wireless network's WEP security and how it authenticated and connected me to the net.
[12:52] <Shaddox> Lilacor: There's a 'faillog' too.

[12:52] <Lilacor> +kb time
[12:53] <SonsOfAtreus> cholera, that's strange, I've never heard of that one.
[12:53] <Foon> can someone tell me, according to what I pasted above, what are my odds someone will succeed in breaking in to my server?
[12:53] <TheSheep> SonsOfAtreus: don't swear :)
[12:53] <hammedhaaret> TheSheep: oki dokey then.....
[12:53] <Foon> I opened port 22 on my router, redirecting it to my server's ssh
[12:53] <Shaddox> Lilacor: Daemon.log only has stuff pertaining to my wireless security, same as dmesg.
[12:54] <Foon> but it's got the pam patch installed, is there anything else I can do to secure it?
[12:54] <Shaddox> Lilacor: Is there an alternative to scaling my CPU without cpufreqd?
[12:54] <cholera> SonsOfAtreus: sorry attempt of play on words, I meant nothing by it
[12:54] <SonsOfAtreus> cholera, In America, if a white person would to have said that black is a sickness?   they would be called a racist.
[12:54] <Lilacor> tail -f /var/log/daemon.log and restart cpufreqd again
[12:54] <Lilacor> Shaddox: I don't know.
[12:54] <Lilacor> Shaddox: I've never even used the program you're talking about before
[12:54] <dinkle> hey how do i find my internal ip address so i can forward a port from my router.
[12:55] <Lilacor> Shaddox: I'm trying my best to give you a start on this problem
[12:55] <lockdown2> dinkle, ifconfig -a
[12:55] <Foon> anyone?
[12:55] <dinkle> thank you.
[12:55] <cholera> SonsOfAtreus: I was just playing off what you said about beinf black to use it, I am black you idiot
[12:55] <Lilacor> cholera: Hmmmm...someone pee in your cheerios this morning?
[12:55] <Shaddox> May 20 15:55:22 laptop gconfd (root-6806): GConf server is not in use, shutting down.
[12:55] <Shaddox> May 20 15:55:22 laptop gconfd (root-6806): Exiting
[12:56] <Shaddox> Lilacor: Does that have anything to do with it?
[12:56] <SonsOfAtreus> oh ok, I'm an idiot.  ;)
[12:56] <gnomefreak> cholera: and Lilacor please stop that and keep this support related
[12:56] <demortes> Hey all, long time no talk.
[12:56] <cholera> Lilacor: more like my fried chicken
[12:56] <Foon> oi, anyone?
[12:56] <Lilacor> Shaddox: doubtful
[12:56] <demortes> I got a question about postfix I'm hoping someone here can answer, cause yeah... no one in #postfix is helping me
[12:56] <Foon> could someone tell me what the odds are of a successful break-in into my system? people have been trying to, according to my auth.log file
[12:57] <demortes> I have it installed, but with ISPConfig. I also have ISPConfig set for external mailservers, but it's still delivering mail locally....
[12:57] <Shaddox> Lilacor: Installing gconf anyways, just to make sure.
[12:57] <Foon> I'm running ssh on port 22 on the server, which is redirected to by the router's port 22 (for external access), but I did add the pam patch.. :|
[12:57] <rockstar_> I need to install Ubuntu to a 160GB external hard drive that I can take to work, so I don't have to use SuSe anymore there.  I've scoured the net, but does anyone have a link to a more detailed installation process?
[12:58] <Lilacor> Shaddox: I would look very carefully at cpufreqd's project page and make sure you are configuring it correctly
[12:58] <Shaddox> Lilacor: Website?
[12:58] <Shaddox> !cpufreqd > Shaddox
[12:58] <Hadron> rockstar_: more detailed than what?
[12:58] <Foon> helloooooo?
[12:58] <dkkong> Can anyone guess as to why whenever I install my lexmark AIO in VMware workstation, XP recognizes it, then reboots and can never reconnect with it again?
[12:58] <demortes> Rockstar, just install it like normal, just make sure you're bios is set to boot off the USB HDD first
[12:58] <imbecile> would I ask a gdesklets question in here or #ubuntu-xgl?
[12:58] <usser> Foon: depends on the strenght of your ssh password brute force attacks have a good ratio of time/success
[12:58] <gnomefreak> imbecile: here
[12:58] <rockstar_> Hadron, more detailed than the first few Google results.  The important stuff gets breezed over.
[12:58] <demortes> Rockstar: That will allow GRUB to be installed to your USB drives MBR instead of your internal HDD
[12:58] <Hadron> demortes: and the bios at work. And hope the plug in is the first  external hdd ...
[12:59] <Foon> usser my password is pretty strong, and my root user is disabled
[12:59] <Flannel> Foon: One easy way to stop that is through stuff like blockhosts, that block people after suspicious activity, another is just changing your ssh port.
[12:59] <Lilacor> Shaddox: cpufreqd.sf.net
[12:59] <demortes> Or it has a boot menu by hitting f10
[12:59] <usser> Foon: i'd say u pretty safe
[12:59] <rockstar_> demortes, I've done that, but it just hangs at boot.
[12:59] <demortes> Off the CD or after installation?
[12:59] <usser> Foon: but then again u may want to use something like fail2ban to be on the safe side
[12:59] <Shaddox> Yeah, thats' what I found with Google. ^^
[12:59] <Shaddox> i'm going to get the cpufreqd source for 2.2.1 and see if maye that will work
[12:59] <Foon> Flannel, usser: the pam patch keeps saying (in the logs) that the IP is blocked, but they continue to attempt (according to the logs) even after that, getting "blocked" over and over again
[01:00] <rockstar_> demortes, After the installation, the boot to the USB drive
[01:00] <Foon> fail2ban?
[01:00] <Foon> and blockhosts?
[01:00] <imbecile> gnomefreak:  some of my gdesklets move around when i reboot.. any idea why? like 1 desklet will be in the middle of the screen unaligned
[01:00] <demortes> You're not installing 64 bit and the CPU at work is 32, are you?
[01:00] <usser> Foon: www.fail2ban.org/
[01:00] <gnomefreak> imbecile: no are you running compiz or beryl?
[01:00] <imbecile> gnomefreak:  yes
[01:00] <Flannel> Foon: theyre scripts that listen for certain IPs to keep beign stupid, and then theyll block them in the firewall
[01:00] <Lilacor> crap...no flash for x64 :(
[01:01] <usser> Foon: this is what i use, works right out of the box for ssh
[01:01] <rockstar_> demortes, The one at work COULD be 64-bit, but I'm wanting to install the 32-bit.  I haven't even brought in the system at work.  I can't get it to boot here at home yet.
[01:01] <gnomefreak> imbecile: it maybe caused by that try disabling it on next log in and see if it changes
[01:01] <ezE> can i break up the live cd to fit onto 2 cd-RWs? cd-RWs only hold 650MB instead of 700MB
[01:01] <usser> Lilacor: u can always use nspluginwrapper
[01:01] <demortes> Rockstar: Does it allow you to attempt to login then lockup, or locks up at the loading screen?
[01:01] <Foon> Flannel: err, I don't know how to set up a firewall in linux, currently, my firewall is my router
[01:01] <Lilacor> !nspluginwrapper
[01:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nspluginwrapper - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:01] <Lilacor> doh!
[01:02] <imbecile> gnomefreak:  thanks
[01:02] <mjr> ezE, that would be hard. There are both 650 and 700 MB CD-RWs as there are both types of CD-Rs as well
[01:02] <Flannel> Foon: Linux has a software firewall built in.  These programs just modify the irewall rules.
[01:02] <rockstar_> demortes, I can't even get to grub.
[01:02] <demortes> Any errors?
[01:02] <Foon> Flannel: oh okay...but why didn't they get blocked after the first "block" message?
[01:02] <rockstar_> So it can't be an initrd problem.
[01:03] <demortes> Such as non bootable device
[01:03] <rockstar_> demortes, just a flashing cursor.
[01:03] <Foon> it kept saying it was blocking, but the connection attempts kept coming
[01:03] <demortes> I'd attempt to reinstall the MBR
[01:03] <Malachi> How can I edit video tags "Title," "Author," etc
[01:03] <Flannel> Foon: PAM just blocks them from being able to login (even if they guess the right password), theyre still connecting and trying
[01:04] <Shaddox> Ugh, cpufreqd-2.2.1 won't configure, says C compiler can't create executables
[01:04] <Foon> Flannel: ohhh I see
[01:04] <rockstar_> demortes, Yea, I've tried the install a few times, and even did a chroot into the drive and  did `update-grub`
[01:04] <gnomefreak> Shaddox: install build-essential
[01:04] <demortes> are you certain that it's writing it to the right MBR?
[01:04] <Foon> but er, why does it even bother letting them continue to try after they've been blocked?
[01:04] <imbecile> hey guys, I'm looking for some inspiration... anyone want to send me screenshot of their cool looking desktop?
[01:04] <dennis1984> haha
[01:04] <CaptainMorgan> I just started my system to find that my workspace switcher is nothing but a think vertical line... and if I try to adjust preferences, the names of the workspaces are not listed... any ideas?
[01:05] <Shaddox> gnomefreak: Lots of downloads. Thanks! ^^
[01:05] <rockstar_> demortes, the only indication is because the internal drives MBR/grub aren't overwritten.
[01:05] <SonsOfAtreus> Malachi, Look in on the file:   mpgtx

[01:05] <Shaddox> gnomefreak: Just trying to do something SIMPLE, and scale my CPU frequency to not go above 50%, it keeps it from overheating.
[01:06] <CaptainMorgan> great - every window I open is now borderless... I did not enable or disable desktop effects... why am I experiencing this???
[01:06] <demortes> Hmm, I'm runing out of ideas, but I'm not a GURU, I've just installed it a crap ton of times
[01:06] <rockstar_> I tried the advanced install to install grub to (hd0) and (hd1) to no avail
[01:06] <Foon> Flannel?
[01:06] <overridex> is there a seperate channel for amd64 support?
[01:06] <SonsOfAtreus> Malachi, it's real easy the way I found that info........  I open Synaptic and used the search   :)
[01:06] <SlimeyPete> CaptainMorgan: your window decorator isn't loading. Not sure why, though :/
[01:06] <usser> overridex: afraid not
[01:06] <gnomefreak> overridex: no this channel is fine
[01:06] <demortes> try the dev name. Like /dev/usb0 or whatever
[01:06] <overridex> usser: ok dokey
[01:06] <vox754> overridex, no, amd64 is tricky, live with it
[01:06] <dennis1984> imbecile, http://digg.com/linux_unix/Running_OSX_and_Windows_XP_Vista_on_Ubuntu
[01:07] <CaptainMorgan> SlimeyPete, I just installed this yesterday after my system was experiencing window problems...
[01:07] <usser> vox754: amd64 is not tricky =)
[01:07] <Flannel> Foon: because PAM only deals with authentication, SSH does the rest.
[01:07] <overridex> well, i just install lirc-modules-src, it compiled fine, installed the deb, when i run depmod -a it segfaults - i removed the package and depmod -a still segfaults... :(
[01:07] <CaptainMorgan> thought the new install would fix this!
[01:07] <overridex> (on 64-bit feisty)
[01:07] <isabelabadone> will anyone be willing to help me with vmware?
[01:07] <Malachi> SonsofAtreus: Thanks. I'll try it out
[01:07] <usser> isabelabadone: ask the question
[01:08] <demortes> vmware on windows or ubuntu?
[01:08] <isabelabadone> i cannot figure out how to delete virtual machine vmware created
[01:08] <isabelabadone> ubuntu
[01:08] <CaptainMorgan> if I attempt to open desktop effects, it gives me an error: composite extension not available
[01:08] <CaptainMorgan> I reinstalled this system because I do NOT want beryl and compiz
[01:08] <bruenig> CaptainMorgan, #ubuntu-effects
[01:08] <rockstar_> demortes, I'll try that and see what happens.
[01:08] <usser> isabelabadone: one way is to delete them from harddrive
[01:08] <Foon> oh, er, so once they're blocked, even if they guess the right password after the 5th attempt, they won't be allowed to log in?
[01:08] <bruenig> CaptainMorgan, then don't attempt to open desktop effects
[01:08] <CaptainMorgan> bruenig, my windows are borderless!
[01:08] <usser> isabelabadone: is it vmware workstation?
[01:08] <Flannel> CaptainMorgan: Did you keep your homedir?
[01:09] <jjido> Hello, why do I get "Missing operating system" after installing Edgy then rEFIt on a MacBook? (NOTE: I can still boot OS X)
[01:09] <CaptainMorgan> Flannel, keep?
[01:09] <isabelabadone> ok, i have deleted the virtual machine but the section on my HDD remains
[01:09] <pedro_> how do i compress a file in ubuntu?
[01:09] <CaptainMorgan> Flannel, it's there.. of course after a reinstall
[01:09] <Flannel> CaptainMorgan: Installing around your home partition, so your homedir exists.
[01:09] <isabelabadone> usser: it is vmware server console
[01:09] <demortes> pedro gzip it
[01:09] <demortes> pedro: gzip <file>
[01:09] <CaptainMorgan> Flannel, I simply performed a clean install
[01:09] <jjido> Is there a channel for Ubuntu on Mac btw?
[01:09] <usser> isabelabadone: sorry dont know about server, used workstation
[01:10] <xtknight> jjido, ubuntu on ppc is hardly any different.  ask a question ?
[01:10] <pedro_> is there a way to adjust the compression?
[01:10] <demortes> Not that I know of.
[01:10] <CaptainMorgan> Flannel, bruenig this is really incapacitating me..
[01:10] <crdlb> CaptainMorgan: DISPLAY=:0 metacity --replace
[01:10] <jjido> xtknight: Ubuntu does not boot
[01:10] <jjido> Hello, why do I get "Missing operating system" after installing Edgy then rEFIt on a MacBook? (NOTE: I can still boot OS X)
[01:10] <xtknight> jjido, sorry, ive seen that you haev already asked
[01:10] <demortes> my console window is being used right now, or I'd check MAN GZIP
[01:10] <xtknight> i'm not sure
[01:10] <CaptainMorgan> crdlb, where do I apply that? in a terminal ?
[01:10] <crdlb> CaptainMorgan: you can run that in any terminal
[01:10] <jjido> xtknight: no problem
[01:11] <CaptainMorgan> k
[01:11] <cactaur> Hello. For some reason, my swap is not being reported.
[01:11] <xtknight> cactaur, your swap file ?
[01:11] <isabelabadone> ok, great
[01:11] <kazol> Anyone here ever setup software RAID??
[01:11] <isabelabadone> thanks anyhow
[01:11] <Malachi> SonsofAtreus: I'm not sure how it works...
[01:11] <xtknight> kazol, sure have
[01:11] <W8TAH> hi folks -- what repos do i need to get the digikam plugins and the kipi plugins
[01:11] <cactaur> xtknight: well, in conky, it says there is no swap. When I try "swapon -s", No files are reported.
[01:12] <CaptainMorgan> crdlb, that is fantastic! how can I apply this so that I do not have to do this every time my system starts?
[01:12] <kazol> xtknight: I need desperate help with it.
[01:12] <ardya> cactaur: did you create a swap aprtition?
[01:12] <kazol> xtknight: I'm using the alternate boot CD.
[01:12] <xtknight> kazol, please elaborate
[01:12] <Shaddox> Crdlb: Do you know anything about cpu scaling?
[01:12] <xtknight> cactaur, conky? sounds familiar but i cant remember what that is
[01:12] <cactaur> ardya: yes I did. It worked until a few days ago.
[01:12] <crdlb> Shaddox: not much
[01:12] <Shaddox> Dan
[01:12] <cactaur> xtknight: It's a system monitoring program
[01:12] <Shaddox> Damn*
[01:12] <Shaddox> I am seriously overheating now...
[01:13] <xtknight> cactaur, ah okay so you don't have a swap enabled, basically?
[01:13] <vexati0n> why does my 2nd partition belong to root with no write permission to other users, and i can't change it ? :/
[01:13] <ardya> cactaur: confirm the existance of the partition with fdisk
[01:13] <bimberi> !info digikamplugins | W8TAH
[01:13] <ubotu> w8tah: Package digikamplugins does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[01:13] <xtknight> cactaur, does typing "sudo swapon /dev/sdx" fix the problem?
[01:13] <bimberi> argh, hang on
[01:13] <xtknight> kazol, what is your problem, exactly?
[01:13] <bimberi> !info digikamimageplugins | W8TAH
[01:14] <ubotu> w8tah: digikamimageplugins: image editor plugins for digikam and showfoto. In component main, is optional. Version 2:0.9.1-0ubuntu2 (feisty), package size 4244 kB, installed size 13092 kB
[01:14] <kazol> xtnight: So I 2x10GB That I need to partition for a webserver. I setup ~9.5GB and ~500MB primary RAID partitions on both HDs, setting the first as bootable. However when I click "Finish and write partition", I get the error msg: "Root FS not defined."
[01:14] <cactaur> xtknight: oh, yeah, thanks
[01:14] <bimberi> !info kipi-plugins | W8TAH
[01:14] <Furbie> hello
[01:14] <xtknight> kazol, so did you mounta partition as /?
[01:14] <ubotu> w8tah: kipi-plugins: image manipulation/handling plugins for KIPI aware programs. In component main, is optional. Version 0.1.3-1ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 1882 kB, installed size 11572 kB
[01:14] <CaptainMorgan> crdlb, that is fantastic! Thank you, - how can I apply this so that I do not have to do this every time my system starts?
[01:14] <kazol> xtknight: How is that possible?
[01:14] <W8TAH> bimberi, i have to use apt-get rather than synaptic?
[01:14] <Furbie> I have a question about starting Samba on startup
[01:15] <xtknight> kazol, are you familiar with partitioning linux/have you installed linux before?
[01:15] <bimberi> W8TAH: no, they should be available in Synaptic
[01:15] <cactaur> xtknight: I'm also looking for a way to identify the UUID of the swap. I tried "vol_id" and it didn't give me one.
[01:15] <W8TAH> ok
[01:15] <W8TAH> thanks
[01:15] <vox754> jjido, that error appears somewhat randomly after installing operating systems. It may be due to a bad motherboard or something messed up with the BIOS and hard drives specifications.
[01:15] <bimberi> W8TAH: yw
[01:15] <xtknight> cactaur,  try "blkid"
[01:15] <crdlb> CaptainMorgan: you could try just: gnome-session-save      with nothing else open
[01:15] <SonsOfAtreus> Malachi, see if it opens a gui when you enter mpgtx in a terminal
[01:15] <cactaur> xtknight: that didn't work either
[01:15] <xtknight> cactaur, ls -al /dev/disk/by-uuid
[01:15] <SonsOfAtreus> Malachi, or maybe if it has a link in the menu section
[01:15] <Malachi> SonsOfAtreus: It doesn't. It's cln based.
[01:15] <jazz_> Hi there newbie
[01:16] <mbb> is there an archive site for planet.ubuntu? lots of good stuff there, goes away too fast some weeks...
[01:16] <SonsOfAtreus> Malachi, has it got a man page?
[01:16] <pedro_> when you compress a file, is it possible to adjust the level of compression?
[01:16] <Malachi> Yeah
[01:16] <jazz_> new to ubuntu
[01:16] <PriceChild> mbb, click on the links on the right for links to blogs which archive it
[01:16] <cactaur> xtknight: the only ones I get are hda4 and hda2, my linux partitions, not my swap.
[01:16] <bimberi> !hi | jazz_
[01:16] <ubotu> jazz_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[01:16] <Furbie> which newbie are you refeorring to?
[01:16] <omri> is there something like KNewsTicker for gnome?
[01:16] <xtknight> cactaur, do you see your swap partition in "sudo fdisk -l" as "Linux Swap"?
[01:16] <ardya> cactaur: confirm the existance of the partition with fdisk
[01:16] <Shaddox> crdlb: Kubuntu's power configuration thing on the system tray in my KDE had cpu scaling support, how could I install that?
[01:17] <xtknight> you may need to reboot to refresh blkid cache
[01:17] <khin> hi, if i have one version of gcc installed with synaptic and then install another version, will it cause problems
[01:17] <cactaur> xtknight and ardya: Yes it is reported as Linux swap.
[01:17] <xtknight> khin, nope none at all
[01:17] <Malachi> SonsOfAtreus: All id3 capabilities are for mp3 ;( And it's pretty much for splitting/joining MPGs
[01:17] <omri> I want a RSS marquee on my gnome toolbars
[01:17] <zamarax> q: I am using this tutorial to install the ati driver http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=321766 and when I get to this part 'sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv' I get the error Warning: Could not find configuration file
[01:17] <zamarax> Please copy configuration file template to /etc/X11, any idea's?
[01:17] <xtknight> khin, if you mean gcc 4.0 and gcc 3.4 from synaptic
[01:17] <SonsOfAtreus> Malachi, you want what?  dvd? or something else?
[01:17] <xtknight> khin, if you mean you have gcc 4.0 installed from synaptic and a newer compiled-from-source gcc then yes it will cause problems
[01:17] <xtknight> cactaur, reboot to refresh the UUID cahce
[01:17] <xtknight> cache*
[01:18] <cactaur> ok
[01:18] <KillHartman> ubuntu noobie here needs help :)
[01:18] <ardya> why.
[01:18] <Malachi> SonsOfAtrues: Have a movie file on hand?
[01:18] <xtknight> !ask | KillHartman
[01:18] <ubotu> KillHartman: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:18] <ardya> its not windows for cripes sake.
[01:18] <bimberi> ProfessorTom: just ask away.  If someone knows, they'll answer
[01:18] <xtknight> ardya, why?  seems like you could suggest an alternative
[01:18] <SonsOfAtreus> malachi, on a dvd disc
[01:18] <ardya> swapon -a
[01:18] <ardya> voila.
[01:18] <xtknight> that's not going to help him find the UUID of his swap partition
[01:18] <KillHartman> well i was doing updates after i jsut installed ubuntu for the first time my comp froze and now it wont let me pull up the update manager
[01:18] <ardya> *shrug*
[01:18] <KillHartman> let me retrieve the error
[01:18] <ProfessorTom> thank you bimberi
[01:18] <Malachi> SonsOfAtreus: Nope. I'll just show you. Give me a sec
[01:19] <ardya> he doesnt need the uuid.
[01:19] <ProfessorTom> How can I get Samba to run on startup?
[01:19] <KillHartman> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[01:19] <Shaddox> KillHartman: Do what it says.
[01:19] <zamarax> q: I am using this tutorial to install the ati driver http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=321766 and when I get to this part 'sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv' I get the error Warning: Could not find configuration file
[01:19] <zamarax> Please copy configuration file template to /etc/X11, any idea's?
[01:19] <Shaddox> KillHartman: Then re-enter the sudo apt-get.
[01:19] <xtknight> KillHartman, you need to type it as "sudo dpkg --configure -a" actually
[01:19] <bimberi> ProfessorTom: if you've installed the Ubuntu package for Samba it should be set to run on startup
[01:19] <KillHartman> lol like i said im a noobie so i have no idea what im doing
[01:19] <specialbuddy> does anyone here know how cedega works?
[01:20] <xtknight> KillHartman, do you know about the terminal?
[01:20] <kazol> xtknight: Sorry, I'm back. How is it possible to set the path when the fs type is RAID?
[01:20] <Malachi> SonsOfAtreus: http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/1642/screenshotplumiferostraym8.png
[01:20] <ProfessorTom> bimberi: is there a way to check that?
[01:20] <jjido> vox754: thanks I will look into that
[01:20] <KillHartman> ive pulled it up yes
[01:20] <Malachi> SonsOfAtreus: I want to edit that info
[01:20] <xtknight> kazol, i'm really confused as to what stage you're at now
[01:20] <kazol> xtnight: Whenever I select RAID, the options disappear.
[01:20] <xtknight> KillHartman, and you have typed "sudo dpkg --configure -a"
[01:20] <specialbuddy> does anyone here know how cedega works?
[01:20] <Saeljfkklhen> I'm having some issues with "proftpd", I'm using gproftpd to configure it, seems to work well enough. The computer right next to it (same intranet) can do everything fine. However none of my friends seem able to upload/download. they can connect, ls and all that, but any attempts at uploading ends with an empty file uploaded and them getting an error like "unable to build data connection" or just "connection closed by re
[01:20] <KillHartman> no i didnt know what to type
[01:21] <xtknight> kazol, okay.  i believe you need to go thru the RAID setup as the top.  you designate the File System as "RAID".  then there appears at the top a RAID configuration utility.  after that it should be obvious
[01:21] <KillHartman> sudo dpkg --configure -a just like that?
[01:21] <Dark_Avenger> umm
[01:21] <xtknight> KillHartman, yes
[01:21] <Shaddox> Hi everyone. I need help with my cpufreqd, particularly that I can't seem to start it. Can someone help me get it to start?
[01:21] <__mikem> okay, I managed to get through the duel booting process, but now when ever I try to startx in linux my screen becomes a pattern of lines and just hangs, what shoudl I do?
[01:21] <KillHartman> k gimme a sec
[01:21] <Shaddox> When I install CPUFreqD, it gives me this error: "No cpufreq interface found, not starting cpufreqd."
[01:21] <cactaur> xtknight: nope, still no UUID.
[01:21] <mbb> PriceChild: do you mean click for the individual blogs? I'm hoping to find an archive of the whole planet. 1. for when I'm away for a few days, and 2. when I fail to bookmark something neat.
[01:21] <kazol> xtnight: I setup the RAID partitions, but it never prompted me for the path.
[01:21] <mjr> specialbuddy, basically the same as Wine, from whence it was forked a long time ago; http://www.winehq.org/site/about
[01:21] <PriceChild> mbb, won't find that afaik sorry
[01:21] <xtknight> cactaur, hrmm that's odd.  well you don't /need/ a UUID for swap   i'm not sure why it's not appearing, thouhg
[01:22] <xtknight> kazol, i understand.  you set FS to raid, that is all, right?
[01:22] <bimberi> ProfessorTom: there will be a startup script in /etc/init.d and links to it in the 'rc' directories (eg. /etc/init.d/rc2.d)
[01:22] <specialbuddy> mjr, do you have to keep purchasing the subsription to use it?
[01:22] <ardya> mkswap the device
[01:22] <Beforewisdom> I saw a number of threads on the Ubuntu forums complaining about a LOT of bugs in Feisty.  That was a few weeks ago, is it safe to upgrade from 6.10 now?
[01:22] <vox754> jjido, oh, since you left... I'll tell you that usual solutions include reconnecting all cables and maybe resetting/upgrading the BIOS. It may also indicate a bad motherboard or bad hard drive.
[01:22] <ardya> then swapon it
[01:22] <ProfessorTom> yes
[01:22] <__mikem> PriceChild, I managed to get my laptop duelbooted, but when ever I try to run X, my screen becomes a pattern of lines and I have to reboot
[01:22] <pedro_> is it normal for a file the size of 790MB be compressed to only 758MB?? that doesnt seem worthwhile...
[01:22] <xtknight> kazol, after you set the File systems to RAID, there is a new menu item that appears in the master partitioner called RAID configuratino or something.  in there you can mount a RAID as /
[01:22] <KillHartman> ok its gonig through some process
[01:22] <xtknight> pedro_, it depends totally on the content of the file
[01:22] <usser> Saeljfkklhen: u most likely didnt setup passive ftp properly
[01:22] <pedro_> ah
[01:22] <bimberi> ProfessorTom: if the command 'ls /etc/rc*.d/*samba*' returns some results then it should be set up OK
[01:22] <ProfessorTom> bimberi: is there something I can grep samba?
[01:23] <cactaur> ardya: Thanks, that gave me a UUID.
[01:23] <ProfessorTom> ah
[01:23] <kazol> xtnight: How do I access that menu? Do I select the partition and hit enter?
[01:23] <mjr> specialbuddy, oh, that. No, you can keep using your downloaded versions, but you'll need a subscription to upgrade.
[01:23] <Saeljfkklhen> I didn't? I'm a newbie when it comes to linux...Any idea what I missed//How to fix it?
[01:23] <ProfessorTom> bimberi: thank you
[01:23] <xtknight> kazol, no.  at the top of the dialog, not selecting any partitions.
[01:23] <bimberi> ProfessorTom: yw :)
[01:23] <vox754> pedro_, text files get compressed a lot, but you can't quite recompress and mp3 since it is already compressed from wav, for instance.
[01:23] <overridex> hmm... i uninstalled linux-restrict-modules-generic-blah-blah and reinstalled it, that seems to have fixed depmod
[01:23] <xtknight> kazol, it should say RAID configuration or something, it's way at the top
[01:23] <KillHartman> ok process is dun and it looks like its waiting for a new command
[01:23] <kazol> xtknight: I'll check
[01:23] <KillHartman> done*
[01:23] <xtknight> kazol, that is AFTER you set the filesystems as RAID
[01:24] <KillHartman> is the problem fixed?
[01:24] <xtknight> KillHartman, yea it should be
[01:24] <specialbuddy> mjr, is the upgrade really necessary?
[01:24] <KillHartman> k so should i go up and clock install updates again?
[01:24] <KillHartman> click*
[01:24] <xtknight> KillHartman, yea
[01:25] <SonsOfAtreus> Malachi, I would guess there should be a file already loaded that would do something like a key combo to unlock that page
[01:25] <KillHartman> there we go thanks xtknight
[01:25] <pedro_> is there a way to split a file in two, but be able to "glue" it back together seamlessly?
[01:25] <KillHartman> here in a few i may need help with my sounds not working
[01:25] <Beforewisdom> I saw a number of threads on the Ubuntu forums complaining about a LOT of bugs in Feisty.  That was a few weeks ago, is it safe to upgrade from 6.10 now?
[01:25] <mjr> specialbuddy, depends of course on if the upgrades fix something you want
[01:25] <kazol> xtknight: It worked! However it is now prompting me for the number of active devices. I simply have 2 HDs, should I select 2?
[01:25] <xtknight> KillHartman, that's cool, ask as many questions as you'd like
[01:25] <specialbuddy> yeah
[01:25] <specialbuddy> I don't play a lot of games
[01:26] <specialbuddy> that are really new
[01:26] <xtknight> kazol, umm i don't remember that step.  sorry
[01:26] <bimberi> pedro_: 'split'  then  'cat'
[01:26] <__mikem> For crying out loud, I need to know why X causes my screen to get all screwed up and how to fix it
[01:27] <Eidolos_> I just set up a Feisty system and I added rootpw to /etc/sudoers like I did before -- but they changed it so the root password is no longer the empty string.. anyone happen to know what the default is?
[01:27] <pedro_> bimberi: i will google how to use that, thanks!
[01:27] <kazol> xtknight: what are active and spare partitions?
[01:27] <r33ddl3r> hello
[01:27] <xtknight> kazol, that sounds like a RAID5 thing perhaps
[01:27] <bimberi> pedro_: np :)   you can always 'man split' btw
[01:27] <xtknight> kazol, i dont know.  i did RAID0.  which one are you doing?
[01:27] <pedro_> oh yeah
[01:27] <ardya> Eidolos_: there isnt a default root passwd.
[01:27] <ardya> never was.
[01:28] <vox754> bimberi, does that split non-text files???
[01:28] <__mikem> kazol, do you have any idea why my laptop crashes every time I use X
[01:28] <bimberi> vox754: i've used it successfully with binary files
[01:28] <Eidolos_> I can no longer sudo after adding rootpw to my /etc/sudoers.. any ideas? I've tried my account's password (obviously), and some other things
[01:28] <latinoguy> help activatiating laptop mode
[01:28] <Eidolos_> I can reinstall everything but that's a big pain :)
[01:28] <xtknight> vox754, bimberi i have also used 'cat' with binary files
[01:28] <kazol> __mikem: Check your video card config.
[01:28] <latinoguy> paste
[01:28] <KillHartman> anyone have any really good sites for learning ubuntu, terminolgy, simple tasks ect?
[01:29] <kazol> xtknight: I'm trying to partition RAID-1.
[01:29] <__mikem> kazol, what command would I use to do that?
[01:29] <bimberi> xtknight: yep, me too, shortly after the 'split'  funnily enough :)
[01:29] <latinoguy> laptop mode help
[01:29] <ardya> KillHartman: besides the forum/wiki/google?
[01:29] <vox754> xtknight, bimberi well, that is crazy!
[01:29] <r33ddl3r> anyone has an idea why all of a sudden my dvd burner is only partially recognized? I can mount the media and browse it, but none of the dvd burning apps I used to use pick it up (k3b, xcdroast) ??

[01:29] <kazol> __mikem: "gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[01:29] <xtknight> kazol, hmm i'm not sure what 'active' or 'spares' are then, in your case.
[01:30] <demortes> neat
[01:30] <latinoguy> laptopmode help please
[01:30] <bimberi> vox754: _very_ useful when you have a file that's just a bit big for a floppy disk
[01:30] <kazol> __mikem: Beyond that I probably cannot help you since I'm a Linux newbie. What video crd do you have?
[01:31] <r33ddl3r> bimberi, what is floppy disk? I thought those disappeared at the turn of the century...
[01:31] <KillHartman> lol
[01:31] <vox754> bimberi, and I assume such utility has been around since the 70's... and now I finally know.
[01:31] <demortes> r33ddl3r: I was gonna ask the same thing, but kept my mouth shut
[01:31] <isabela> hello, will someone kindly walk me through partitioning my hard drive? I'm having issues with gparted
[01:31] <bimberi> r33ddl3r: I'm old OK :P
[01:31] <kazol> r33ddl3r: I still use them. I have 4 full cases of 100 each on my desk.
[01:31] <r33ddl3r> bimberi, invest $15 into a 2G flash drive
[01:31] <Eidolos> so any advice short of me reloading the entire OS again?
[01:31] <r33ddl3r> hah.. no comments then
[01:31] <KillHartman> i stopped using floppies when windows tried to get me to format them everytime i popped one in
[01:32] <latinoguy> need help with laptopmode
[01:32] <bimberi> r33ddl3r: USB?  :P
[01:32] <isabela> can someone help me partition my HDD?
[01:32] <r33ddl3r> bimberi, yes... and get one fast.. before USB gets outdated, too :)
[01:32] <r33ddl3r> isabela, "man fdisk"
[01:32] <demortes> isabela I'd just do a 1gb swap, the rest for ubuntu
[01:33] <kazol> I only use floppies for config file backups, drivers, and tax returns.
[01:33] <isabela> demortes: i don't know what that means
[01:33] <r33ddl3r> demortes, swap == 1.5 x RAM size
[01:33] <demortes> The only reason I own a floppy drive is because windows xp needs a sata driver to install onto my sata HDD...
[01:33] <demortes> r33ddl3r: Then I messed up my partitions on Wubi :P
[01:33] <KillHartman> i have one in my comp right now but it isnt hooked up
[01:34] <SonsOfAtreus> isabela, they were trying to be funny,  a great program for partitioning to load is gparted
[01:34] <Eidolos> sigh, guess I'll wait a few more hours reloading Feisty again, thanks anyway
[01:34] <PSyK0GiRl> hi lll
[01:34] <demortes> She stated she was having problems with gparted
[01:34] <r33ddl3r> few more hours? r u on x486?
[01:34] <Eidolos> it's a 500mhz laptop
[01:34] <demortes> Ouch
[01:34] <r33ddl3r> anyone has an idea why all of a sudden my dvd burner is only partially recognized? I can mount the media and browse it, but none of the dvd burning apps I used to use pick it up (k3b, xcdroast) ??
[01:34] <kazol> Anyone know the difference between active and spare partitions?
[01:35] <latinoguy> help with laptop mode
[01:35] <r33ddl3r> kaziol: elaborate
[01:35] <daniel-eads> Hello everyone, I'm having a problem with my touchpad after installing a new keypad on a Dell Latitude C610...  I'm running Dapper on this laptop (dual booted into XP right now since the mouse won't work in ubuntu) but am still having the same problem on the Feisty Live CD
[01:35] <KillHartman> im running a heap myself which is why i wanted to switch to ubuntu
[01:35] <random-baby> do u mean the buttons on the touchpad?
[01:35] <KillHartman> hopefully it runs smoother and better than windows zp did
[01:35] <xtknight> a heap?  what do you mean?
[01:35] <daniel-eads> Or at least I think it's the touchpad.... the cursor "drifts" into the bottom left corner of the screen and there's nothing touching the touchpad OR eraser cursor
[01:35] <SonsOfAtreus> demortes, Iv'e got a baseball game going on in here, I can't keep track of every post.   come on......
[01:36] <xtknight> oh
[01:36] <xtknight> slow pc?
[01:36] <demortes> Sons, understood
[01:36] <KillHartman> its basically a computer thrown together with crappy parts, amd duron 1.0 processor 512 mb ram
[01:36] <KillHartman> i just bought a new video card the other day
[01:36] <xtknight> good candidate for Xfce though
[01:36] <xtknight> or blackbox ;)
[01:36] <pi-meson> Is there a way to add a second IP address to an interface using the GUI under 7.04 ?
[01:36] <xtknight> ahh second ip like eth0:0 eth0:1?
[01:36] <r33ddl3r> or openbox
[01:36] <demortes> Isn't the point of a swap partition the same as Virtual Memory on windows?
[01:37] <r33ddl3r> xtknight, it is called virtual IP
[01:37] <xtknight> demortes, swap file more accurately
[01:37] <ardya> yes.
[01:37] <demortes> is there a dif between swap file and swap partition?
[01:37] <xtknight> virtual memory is what maps address X to swap or physical, so the memory on your HD is called a swap or page file
[01:37] <KillHartman> lol i feel like a retard at harvard in here
[01:37] <ardya> yes.
[01:37] <xtknight> demortes, nope
[01:37] <demortes> kill, I know the feelin
[01:37] <random-baby> how frequently is swap used?
[01:37] <ardya> a swap aprtition reads/writes faster than to a file on a filesystem.
[01:37] <daniel-eads> random-baby, it's not the buttons, just the tracking of the cursor itself...  works fine in XP though
[01:37] <latinoguy> how to edit this file /etc/default/acpi-support
[01:37] <latinoguy> /etc/default/acpi-support
[01:38] <r33ddl3r> random-baby, whenever you run out of physical memory
[01:38] <pi-meson> xtknight: yea, exactly; I've edited the /etc/network/interfaces appropriately, but it doesn't come up on reboot, and while "ifup eth0:1" says "interface already configured" i don't see it when I run ifconfig
[01:38] <random-baby> o ok
[01:38] <demortes> OK, so with a gig of RAM, and few games supported on Ubuntu/Wine, I don't need a 1.5gb swap
[01:38] <xtknight> random-baby, sometimes more than that.  it depends on your "vm.swappiness" value.  that way you can adjust how much is used for cache and stuff
[01:38] <ardya> hd space is sheap, a gig of swap doesnt hurt to have.
[01:38] <nuu> pi-meson: try ifconfig eth0:1 up
[01:38] <random-baby> i have  1Gig real memory :)
[01:38] <xtknight> i have 8 gigs just for the heck of it
[01:38] <xtknight> it's not like im low on HD :P
[01:38] <demortes> I hate you xtknight
[01:39] <KillHartman> so ive herd torrenting is a bit safer on oinux as well, legal torrenting of course ;)
[01:39] <xtknight> no 8 gig of swap
[01:39] <demortes> oh
[01:39] <demortes> swap
[01:39] <xtknight> lol
[01:39] <r33ddl3r> try putting swap on a different Hd as well
[01:39] <demortes> I found a MB that supports 64GB of RAM
[01:39] <random-baby> safer?
[01:39] <xtknight> pi-meson, hrmm i dont have much experience mressing with eth0:0 and eth0:1 although i think i mistakenly made them.  im pretty sure there's a way in one of the network applets
[01:39] <r33ddl3r> random-baby, wont impact your system hd i/o while swapping
[01:39] <ardya> dem?
[01:39] <demortes> ?
[01:40] <r33ddl3r> anyone has an idea why all of a sudden my dvd burner is only partially recognized? I can mount the media and browse it, but none of the dvd burning apps I used to use pick it up (k3b, xcdroast) ??
[01:40] <demortes> I miss something?
[01:40] <pi-meson> nuu: I get "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address"
[01:40] <daniel-eads> Any ideas on the cursor?  I tried dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg but that didn't fix it
[01:40] <xtknight> daniel-eads, it's just randomly going all over the place?
[01:40] <xtknight> daniel-eads, touchpad?
[01:41] <random-baby> in 7.04 is there more than one program for managing wireless connection? (by default)
[01:41] <linxeh> daniel-eads: what graphics card ?
[01:41] <daniel-eads> it always drags into the bottom left corner
[01:41] <nuu> pi-meson: try sudo ifconfig eth0:1 up
[01:41] <daniel-eads> ATI something.... lemmie check
[01:41] <xtknight> daniel-eads, touchpad?
[01:41] <daniel-eads> yes, latitude C610 laptop
[01:42] <xtknight> daniel-eads, sounds more like a HW problem..is it fine in windows (have you tried)?
[01:42] <daniel-eads> i'm in windows now, works fine
[01:42] <pi-meson> nuu: I was doing that from a root prompt
[01:42] <random-baby> when i go to system>admin>network. i cant enable wpa or wpa2 for wireless
[01:42] <nuu> pi-meson: try assigning it an ip then
[01:42] <linxeh> daniel-eads: on my laptop with a ATI Rage Pro chipset I used to have the same problem unless I used 16bit colour
[01:42] <nuu> ie ifconfig eth0:1 <ip> up
[01:42] <random-baby> but there used to be something in the top right off my screen that could make it work
[01:42] <xtknight> random-baby, oh, you're speaking of network-manager perhaps
[01:42] <random-baby> perhaps ;)
[01:42] <linxeh> well, I think I did - what was the proiblem again ? :)
[01:43] <daniel-eads> graphics is ati raedon mobility
[01:43] <linxeh> oh :o
[01:43] <random-baby> im not familiar with the names of all these progs.applets
[01:43] <random-baby> there are so many!
[01:44] <daniel-eads> hmm....  it was working fine until i put in a new keyboard
[01:44] <random-baby> i have a wireless connection now, but im not sure how its working
[01:44] <random-baby> in system>admin>network its disabled
[01:45] <kazol> xtknight: I get the same error msg. Tried both 2 active 0 spare, and 1 active 1 spare.
[01:45] <pi-meson> see, this is really frustrating, I'm sure I have a correct /etc/network/interfaces
[01:46] <isabela> how do i know if i have an error on my hard disk?
[01:46] <isabela> gparted says i have an error on sda1
[01:46] <nuu> try using fsck
[01:47] <isabela> fsck?
[01:47] <nuu> yes, fsck
[01:47] <nuu> fsck /dev/sda1
[01:47] <khin> hey if i have more than one gcc on my system & want to specify the non-default one, whaddo i do
[01:47] <ardya> export CC=/path/to/alternate/gcc
[01:47] <isabela> nuu: he following operation could not be applied to disk:
[01:47] <isabela> Resize /dev/sda1 from 35.82 GiB to 20.20 GiB
[01:47] <isabela> See the details for more information
[01:47] <khin> ok
[01:48] <isabela> oops
[01:48] <isabela> never mind that
[01:48] <ProfessorTom> hello
[01:48] <daniel-eads> linxeh: thank you, i'll definitely check that and check back here in a few minutes
[01:48] <ProfessorTom> I'm back again
[01:48] <isabela> nuu: /dev/sda1 is mounted.
[01:48] <isabela> WARNING!!!  Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause
[01:48] <isabela> SEVERE filesystem damage.
[01:48] <isabela> Do you really want to continue (y/n)? cancelled!
[01:48] <ProfessorTom> so I decided to try and get DVDs working on Dapper Drake
[01:49] <ProfessorTom> I ran this command:
[01:49] <ProfessorTom> sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh
[01:49] <ProfessorTom> and everything installed
[01:49] <nuu> welp, umount it first if possible. or, if you can't umount it (maybe it's the root filesystem), run fsck from a boot cd like the ubuntu install cd, or knoppix, or whatever
[01:49] <ProfessorTom> yet Totem is still being a pain in the ass
[01:49] <ProfessorTom> any ideas?
[01:49] <isabela> nuu: i am running it from a boot cd
[01:49] <nuu> then just umount it
[01:49] <isabela> ok, how do i do that?
[01:50] <nuu> umount /dev/sda1
[01:51] <kazol> I need help setting up software RAID-1.
[01:51] <isabela> nuu: it said clean... does that mean i don't have any errors?
[01:51] <nuu> yeah, apparently there are no errors on the filesystem
[01:51] <nuu> there could still be problems with the physical disk, or the disk controller on the motherboard
[01:52] <nuu> but at least you can rule out filesystem corruption
[01:52] <utnubuk> hmm has anybody had problems getting their sound to work?
[01:52] <isabela> gparted gave me the error:
[01:52] <neversfelde> utnubuk: in Feisty?
[01:52] <isabela> well, i don't have the error anymore
[01:52] <isabela> oh well
[01:52] <utnubuk> neversfelde: nope, edgy.
[01:53] <neversfelde> utnubuk: k, herad about a lot of problems in feisty
[01:53] <utnubuk> neversfelde: i reinstalled edgy and my sound stopped working... but it seems to pick up my soundcard :/
[01:53] <sid> How can I have a command execute when I login to gnome?
[01:54] <ProfessorTom> any ideas for getting DVDs to work in Dapper Drake?
[01:54] <Flannel> !startup | sid
[01:54] <ubotu> sid: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup
[01:54] <neversfelde> utnubuk: strange, everything is tuned up in kmix or similar in gnome?
[01:54] <sid> thanks Flannel
[01:54] <Eidolos> ok I have the Feisty livecd up, can I actually edit files on the hard drive?
[01:54] <FP> Notte a Tutti
[01:55] <Flannel> Eidolos: yeah, you have to mount your disks, then you can edit files on them
[01:55] <ezE> i have ubuntu desktop version image which is 700MB, but I only have 2 650 MB cd-RWs....what do i do?
[01:55] <neversfelde> Eidolos: sure, mount it and tha ther should not be a problem
[01:55] <seanj> hi peple
[01:55] <Eidolos> how do I do that exactly? :)
[01:55] <Flannel> ezE: Download the minimal CD, or the server CD
[01:56] <dkkong> Is there any way I can use my Lexmark's Scanner Feature under Linux? I see it listed under lsusb, but nothing will work with it software wise.
[01:56] <linxeh> ezE: get the minimal cd and install off the network imo
[01:56] <ezE> thanx will do
[01:56] <Flannel> !install | ezE
[01:56] <ubotu> ezE: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - See also !automate
[01:56] <pi-meson> okay, I think my stupid gnome-network-manager is screwing with me here -- is there any way to turn it off?
[01:56] <Flannel> ezE: those are some other methods, (using other sorts of media, etc); you might find them useful
[01:56] <ezE> gracias
[01:57] <neversfelde> Eidolos: sudo mount /dev/something /mnt and than "sudo nano /mnt/fileyouwant"
[01:58] <hammedhaaret> Hi........ ok I've only just used ubuntu a little month or so... but. when I've downloaded a program. lets say songbird just to make it clear... i need to compile it right.. before i can install.  how do i do that? and how do i install it following
[01:58] <Eidolos> cool, thanks neversfelde! I was able to edit /etc/sudoers that way, now I shouldn't have to reinstall everything
[01:58] <Eidolos> it was /dev/hda1 :)
[01:58] <linxeh> hammedhaaret: it depends. you might be able to get the program in binary form, or get a proper ubuntu package (it might even be in the universe repository)
[01:58] <neversfelde> Eidolos: had the same problem yesterday
[01:58] <neversfelde> :)
[01:59] <Pelo> sigh ........
[01:59] <Flannel> Eidolos: no, actually, you don't.  Just reboot and select the "recovery console" at the grub menu.  neversfelde, you too.
[01:59] <linxeh> Pelo: ?
[01:59] <kazol> Anyone here have experience with software RAID-1?
[01:59] <Eidolos> ah
[01:59] <Pelo> linxeh, don't bother,  no one ever does,
[01:59] <linxeh> kazol: yes, in a previous life. It was painful.
[01:59] <hammedhaaret> Linxeh: riight.. a proper package. where do i get those? .... not just the add/remove apps menu ?!? and the universe repository?!?
[01:59] <neversfelde> Flannel: should work with a live cd also?
[02:00] <linxeh> Pelo: well, what do you need help with ?
[02:00] <neversfelde> Flannel: ok, better way to use recovery mode
[02:00] <linxeh> hammedhaaret: http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=songbird+ubuntu&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
[02:00] <Luxurious> Is this sentence on the intrewebs?
[02:00] <linxeh> hammedhaaret: you two can find the answers.... with google!!!
[02:00] <linxeh> err
[02:00] <ohadz> how do i remove this forcefully from my apt -- E: The package mfc665cwcupswrapper needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[02:00] <linxeh> "you too" even
[02:00] <Pelo> linxeh, I have a gdesklet , I removed all the skinning and there is still a tin black border around the frame and I have no idea how to get rid of it,  I 'm not 1337 enough to figure out where in the code I can do it
[02:01] <kazol> linxeh: How did you manage to set a root FS?
[02:01] <Flannel> neversfelde: yeah, it works fine with liveCD, but then you have to find a CD, boot off the CD, mount, yadda yadda.
[02:01] <DocTrax> hi
[02:01] <hammedhaaret> Linxeh: thx (: but you guys is way faster with the right answers
[02:01] <linxeh> kazol: yikes, this was back in 1999/2000 using the highpoint cards - I've only done it with hardware scsi recently
[02:01] <neversfelde> Flannel: sure, I thought he had booted it yet
[02:02] <linxeh> hammedhaaret: oh come on - that link I pasted (search for "songbird ubuntu") has links with step by step instructions on the 1st and 2nd links
[02:02] <Pelo> hammedhaaret,  we donT' always have the answer
[02:02] <Flannel> neversfelde: yeah, he has.  I was just telling him for the future, which is why I pinged youtoo
[02:02] <linxeh> hammedhaaret: it really isn't that hard to help yourself. really.
[02:02] <DocTrax> can someone telle me something about rights management of ubuntu?
[02:02] <Pelo> DocTrax,  what do you need to know
[02:03] <DocTrax> i heard that ubuntu has not a default root password after hd install, correct?
[02:03] <i-n-f> yup
[02:03] <ardya> the root acct is disabled for logins, yes
[02:03] <Flannel> ohadz: Where did you find that package?  Since, I don't know of it.  do.. `apt-cache policy mfc665cwcupswrapper` what does it say?
[02:03] <DocTrax> isnt that insecure?
[02:03] <Broccoly_> how can i change scrolling in gnome from 3 lines at a time to 1 line?
[02:03] <neversfelde> Flannel: k, was my first support in the english chan :) going back to german support now
[02:03] <Flannel> DocTrax: no.  The root account is disabled, no one can login with it
[02:03] <neversfelde> gn8 everyone
[02:04] <dkkong> Is there any way I can use my Lexmark's Scanner Feature under Linux? I see it listed under lsusb, but nothing will work with it software wise.
[02:04] <ardya> DocTrax: the root acct is disabled for logins, yes, thats not the same as no passwd.
[02:04] <DocTrax> and how to do the administration?
[02:04] <Pelo> DocTrax, ubuntu doesn'T use  root, it uses sudo , since ubuntu is intended as a new linux user distro  it doesn'T user root for security reasons but it lets you run root command with sudo
[02:04] <linxeh> Pelo: :o that's beyond me I'm afraid - tried the mailing list :o
[02:04] <DocTrax> but sudo is insecure
[02:04] <ohadz> Flannel, mfc665cwcupswrapper:  Installed: 1.0.0-6  Candidate: 1.0.0-6  Version table: *** 1.0.0-6 0        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
[02:05] <Flannel> Pelo: Ubuntu is hardly designed as a "new linux user distro".  It's friendlyness is a biproduct
[02:05] <Pelo> Broccoly_,  probably in gconf-editor
[02:05] <linxeh> DocTrax: how on earth is sudo insecure
[02:05] <ardya> DocTrax: umm.
[02:05] <DocTrax> it could make almost every accout a supoeruser account
[02:05] <Pelo> Flannel, fine have it your own way
[02:05] <vorbote> DocTrax: In fact root is a liability. Professional sysadmins have been using sudo for almost 20 years now, for security reasons
[02:05] <i-n-f> how do i make xchat stop autojoining this channel?
[02:05] <linxeh> DocTrax: only if you grant those permissions to every user account
[02:05] <hammedhaaret> Linxeh: no.. i try to most times. thx again
[02:05] <Flannel> ohadz: hmm.  Where did you find that file?  Whereever you did, you'l have to find it again.  It's not the repositories
[02:06] <vorbote> DocTrax: May remote exploits work because there is a root account with an easy password to crack.
[02:06] <DocTrax> so i need to make a alias account for root
[02:06] <ardya> eh?
[02:06] <vorbote> DocTrax: No.
[02:06] <mobutu> having users is insecure
[02:06] <Pelo> i-n-f,    in the server dialog uncheck autojoin
[02:06] <Slart> i-n-f: try right clicking the channel name in the channel list to the left.. uncheck autojoin
[02:06] <Flannel> DocTrax: no.  You use sudo.  Users with the proper permissions can use "sudo" to run some stuff as root (which is also configurable, on a per user/program basis)
[02:06] <Broccoly_> Pelo: heh that thing has many settings
[02:06] <cycom> mobutu: :)
[02:06] <davebsd123> I have a question about xorg-driver-fglrx
[02:06] <vorbote> DocTrax: Do you mean like the toor account in many BSDs? That's a liability as well.
[02:06] <mobutu> you could install SE Linux and lock yourself out of your box
[02:06] <linxeh> DocTrax: err, why do you need an aliased root account ?
[02:06] <mobutu> that's secure too
[02:06] <Pelo> Broccoly_,   that thing has ALL the settings
[02:06] <foso> hey, finally got my wifi workiong, after reboot it doesnt work anymore, what do i need to do?
[02:07] <ohadz> Flannel, i have it on my desktop now. i just want to remove this error altogther.. - i don't want to reinstall it or anything for that matter.. just remove any trace of it and be able to use apt-get again
[02:07] <linxeh> heh SELinux - people actually trust that stuff ? :)
[02:07] <davebsd123> I've installed it many times but I've never had this problem - I did apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx
[02:07] <Flannel> Pelo: just saying "designed for new users" makes it sound like we're fisher price linux, which isnt the case.
[02:07] <cycom> DocTrax: You can also have users sudo to permissions above their own but below root
[02:07] <PurpZeY> I just saw a YouTube video w/ Ubuntu, where the multiple desktops are actually rotating on a 3d cube...Not just Desktop Effects, What is that?
[02:07] <mobutu> SELinux is not so bad
[02:07] <Eidolos> ok now the meat of my problem
[02:07] <DocTrax> when an account gains rights to use sudo it is a superuser account
[02:07] <x3ro> I've got a wired Problem with video playback on Ubuntu 7.04: I hear the sound but I cant see the video itself... When I make a screenshot its there... ... -___-
[02:07] <ardya> PurpZeY: veryl
[02:07] <davebsd123> then I did aticonfig {--initial,--overlay-type=Xv}
[02:07] <i-n-f> oh cool, thanks
[02:07] <ardya> beryl
[02:07] <linxeh> mobutu: but it is from teh ev1l0rz NSA!!!
[02:07] <vorbote> linxeh: SELinux is much better than AppArmor, for sure.
[02:07] <Flannel> DocTrax: No, it's not.
[02:07] <mobutu> yeah whatever
[02:07] <DocTrax> i cant see a difference
[02:07] <davebsd123> but fglrxinfo just returns MESA info
[02:07] <cbs> whats the apt-get for flahs plugin?
[02:07] <i-n-f> this beryl is off the hook'
[02:07] <mobutu> it'll take Debian 23423423 years to argue about SELinux
[02:07] <cbs> flash***
[02:07] <Pelo> Flannel,  read again I didn't say designed i said intended
[02:08] <linxeh> vorbote: sure - I'm just being facetious
[02:08] <gortba> Hi. If I make a a copy of (and save on a peripheral device) my root directory then reinstall ubuntu, can I just my saved root directory to the new installation and retain all of my settings?
[02:08] <Flannel> DocTrax: Just because you can use sudo, doesn't mean you have access to anything.  You can give each user different abilities with sudo, restrict which programs they can/cant use with sudo, etc.
[02:08] <Pelo> cbs, sudo apt-get install flash , will probably do it
[02:08] <Gerro> vorbote: they both suck compared to actually doing that stuff yourself... only reason I use linux is no AV so not about to try selinux or apparmor
[02:08] <ohadz> Flannel, ? any ideas/
[02:08] <DocTrax> but i need an account with all permissions of root
[02:08] <ardya> heh you're being trolled
[02:08] <Flannel> ohadz: you'll probably need o reinstall it before you can remove it
[02:08] <DocTrax> this is root alias
[02:09] <linxeh> we use a homegrown variant of sudo at work to allow us to change into shared "processing" users - and this way we get a full audit log. its a great technique
[02:09] <gortba> err I meant "...can I just copy my saved..."
[02:09] <linxeh> DocTrax: why ?
[02:09] <cbs> pelo: flash could not be foung
[02:09] <Gerro> ardya: more like orced, for da horde yo!
[02:09] <ohadz> Flannel, can i just remove it without the need to reinstall it?
[02:09] <Flannel> DocTrax: no, it's not.  It's just a user with full access with sudo.
[02:09] <cbs> found***
[02:09] <Broccoly_> Pelo: hmm can't seem to find it
[02:09] <PurpZeY> ardya: what does beryl offer that gnome doesn't, besides these visual effects?
[02:09] <linxeh> DocTrax: why not just grant full sudo access, and run sudo -H -s if you need a root shell ?
[02:09] <Pelo> cbs, check in synaptic it will probably be easier
[02:09] <x3ro> I've got a wired Problem with video playback on Ubuntu 7.04: I hear the sound but I cant see the video itself... When I make a screenshot its there... ... -___-
[02:09] <melman101> Hey all.

[02:10] <BlindSIde> beryl is very pretty
[02:10] <daniel-eads> linxeh: changing to 16 from 24 worked, thank you!

[02:10] <ralphv> thanks
[02:11] <DocTrax> Flannel: whats the difference between full access to sudo and the superuser?
[02:11] <gortba> Let me ask it again so my question actually makes sense...
[02:11] <mobutu> sudo bash is the best
[02:11] <DocTrax> thats the question
[02:11] <x3ro> pleaseeee....
[02:11] <cbs> Im not seeing ny packages for it
[02:11] <ardya> sudo passwd
[02:11] <Flannel> mobutu: no, sudo -i, not sudo bash
[02:11] <ardya> :)
[02:11] <gortba> If I make a copy of (and save on a peripheral device) my root directory then reinstall ubuntu, can I just copy my saved root directory to the new installation and retain all of my settings, programs and such?
[02:11] <daniel-eads> linxeh: lol, glad you had some experience, thanks again  :)
[02:11] <Flannel> DocTrax: Not much.  Sudo is logged, etc.  A root account is root all the time, your regular user isn't.  Just because it can be, doesn't make it a root account.
[02:11] <x3ro> I've got a wired Problem with video playback on Ubuntu 7.04: I hear the sound but I cant see the video itself... When I make a screenshot its there... ... -___-

[02:12] <ardya> wtf
[02:12] <x3ro> ^^
[02:12] <Luxurious> x3ro: Could be a graphics card problem.
[02:12] <Flannel> !repeat | x3ro
[02:12] <ubotu> x3ro: 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
[02:12] <PurpZeY> ardya: Would it be necessary to remove Gnome to install Beryl, or could Beryl be installed along side gnome and then I would just need to specify which GUI to start?
[02:12] <Pelo> gortba,  right idea , wrong folder  you want to do that with /home  ,  and you can make your life even easier by putting /home on a seperate partition
[02:12] <x3ro> but even beryl works x_X
[02:13] <Luxurious> x3ro: Interesting, makes me clueless.
[02:13] <x3ro> *drop*
[02:13] <hendaus> hiya
[02:13] <hendaus> somebody help me please!
[02:13] <x3ro> btw... WHY does beryl work WITHOUT the closed-source ati driver and WITH it it works...
[02:13] <Pelo> x3ro, which video app ?
[02:13] <mobutu> does beryl work with xfce ?
[02:13] <DocTrax> Flannel: i would prefer su, sux or kdesu
[02:13] <x3ro> all of them^^
[02:13] <x3ro> vlc, totem, whichever
[02:13] <Pelo> hendaus,  we need to know your problem before we help
[02:13] <cbs> does anyone else possibly know apt-get for flash?
[02:14] <Pelo> x3ro,  are you using beryl or desktop effects ?
[02:14] <ardya> PurpZeY: you'll need one of gnome, kde, or xfce as well to run beryl
[02:14] <Pelo> cbs,   sudo apt-cache search flash
[02:14] <usser> how do i add a local mirror of a say universe repository into sources.list?
[02:14] <x3ro> try aptitude sarch flash @ cbs ... maybe it finds something
[02:14] <Flannel> DocTrax: if you'd prefer that, youd probably prefer a different distro.
[02:14] <hendaus> Pelo: thanx but i want to open my second hd, it opens but doesnot show me the files
[02:14] <x3ro> @Pelo: I already disabled them... but no change at all
[02:15] <Pelo> hendaus,  is it properly mounted ?
[02:15] <arsalan> hi everybody
[02:15] <foso> i have a broadcom card if that helps anyone know how ot help me
[02:15] <wheels3572> !Pidgin
[02:15] <ubotu> pidgin is the new name for Gaim forced by AOL's legal dept. It wasn't released in time for Feisty. Expect it in gutsy. See http://www.pidgin.im/index.php for more info.
[02:15] <mobutu> cbs: i think you need to make sure 'universe' is in your suppositories
[02:15] <Flannel> DocTrax: then there you go.  Ubuntu uses sudo.  If you *want* to use root, you can, it's not recommended.
[02:15] <ardya> "gutsy"?
[02:15] <mobutu> cbs: apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[02:15] <PurpZeY> ardya: I have gome already, will switching over to beryl require a lot? or is it fairly seamless?
[02:15] <hendaus> Pelo:  yes
[02:15] <mobutu> is it Gusty Goober
[02:15] <gortba> Pelo: Thanks. Over the months I've had to solve problems like changing text in configuration files--I know this sounds vague. What I mean is that it's taken some work to get my system to do everything right. I guess what I'm asking is by copying /home will that keep all the work I've done.
[02:16] <x3ro> damn^^ there must be some way to make it work x_X
[02:16] <wheels3572> Can anyone tell me if Pidgin is in the repos yet?
[02:16] <sayers> PurpZeY, if you know what your doing and read it right, 10 secconds
[02:16] <melman101> What's the difference betweening su'ing and sudo'ing. I've used both.
[02:16] <ziro01> dunno
[02:16] <majortom> foso: h/o
[02:16] <sayers> melman101, security
[02:16] <PurpZeY> sayers: And then beryl runs on top of Gnome?
[02:16] <ardya> PurpZeY: http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu_Feisty_with_AIGLX
[02:16] <melman101> sayers: but isn't it effectively the same?
[02:16] <mobutu> wheels3572: apt-cache search pidgin tells me no
[02:16] <Waddledee> Can someone help me with a problem working on a dual-boot system?
[02:16] <PurpZeY> ardya: thanks.
[02:16] <majortom> foso: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=405990&highlight=bcm43xx
[02:17] <sayers> PurpZeY, yes
[02:17] <wheels3572> mobutu, ty
[02:17] <mobutu> melman101: su makes you run a shell as a certain user, usually root
[02:17] <Evensar> Hi! I have a problem with the terminal, i cant open it, when i click on terminal in Appplications, it loads for a while but then it stops, and nothing more happens. i have tried to reinstall it with synaptic but it didnt help. Anyone got an idea?
[02:17] <x3ro> Waddledee -> ask
[02:17] <hendaus> Pelo: what can i do to open it?
[02:17] <Pelo> hendaus, gortba it will keep the stuff that is located in /home ie the data, the config folder for the various apps,   it will not keep stuff like edits to xorg.conf or other  things like that
[02:17] <mobutu> melman101: sudo 'command' means run a command as a user, usually root
[02:17] <sayers> melman101, no. Not at all. anyone knows the name root, but not your username so it makes brute hacking harder
[02:17] <mobutu> melman101: sudo is a 1 time command
[02:17] <foso> thanks, ill give it a look
[02:17] <melman101> Ahhh thanks mobutu, understand now.
[02:17] <arsalan> my firefox browser is not playing sounds when I play videos on youtube, can anyone help me out?
[02:17] <x3ro> is it possible that my video players try to display the stuff on another (connected, but disabled) screen?
[02:18] <mobutu> arsalan: does sound work for anything else?
[02:18] <Pelo> hendaus,  my guess is that the drive is not mounted properly,  you dont see the data because  you are looking at the mount point but it isn't linked to the drive,   open up gparted and check if he drive is there and where the partition is mounted ,   ps you dnT' mout a drive you mount a partition on a drive
[02:18] <gortba> Pelo: Right. I can't possibly remember every conf file that I've edited--so how to save all of these settings for my fresh install? Is there a blanket way to do this?
[02:18] <linxeh> mobutu: sudo bash shouldn't really be used - sudo -H -s is better
[02:19] <mobutu> linxeh: i was kidding
[02:19] <ardya> gortba: tar up /etc
[02:19] <linxeh> k :)
[02:19] <x3ro> there must be a way to get this to work x_X
[02:19] <hendaus> Pelo:  yes i have it on my desktop, i open it and doesnot show the files
[02:19] <Waddledee> x3ro: having become dissatisfied with the instability of Windows, I went ahead and set up a dual-boot system with Ubuntu.  Dual-boot because my brother likes City of Heroes, but not enough to pay an extra $5 a month for Cedega.
[02:19] <Pelo> gortba, not to my knowledge, personnaly I made a little bash script ouf of the cli proceedures I need to perform after a clean install
[02:19] <arsalan> please hold on mobutu I m checking this
[02:19] <Waddledee> x3ro: now I want to make the XP install a really clean one, with only what he needs to play City.  Problem is, when I go to reinstall Windows, it refuses to install because it wants to write data to the disc that has my Linux partitions.
[02:20] <linxeh> Waddledee: you were still running Windows ME or something then ?
[02:20] <avis> how do i get gdesklets to launch on boot ?
[02:20] <Pelo> hendaus,  right click on the desktop icon,  properties, permissions,  see if  the user has at least read permission
[02:20] <Pelo> avis,   menu > system > prefs > sessons : add
[02:20] <mobutu> avis: System->Preferences->Sessions
[02:20] <Waddledee> linxeh: Windows XP, I was.
[02:20] <arsalan> yes mobutu: it works on XMMS
[02:20] <mobutu> too slow
[02:20] <avis> thank you
[02:20] <x3ro> Waddledee: does it directly exit? normally it is possible to select the partition to write on isnt it?
[02:20] <avis> is that the same for amsn ?  anyone use it ?  wont launch on boot ?
[02:21] <Waddledee> x3ro: I can select the partition to write on, but it then complains that it can't find an XP-compatible partition on the other drive, and says it needs to write some data there.
[02:21] <JimM> Hello everyone, I was curious if anyone could point me to a guide to setting up filesharing in Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty? I have shared a folder (my home directory) and can ping the ubuntu machine from my windows desktop, but I can't get a listing of shares.
[02:21] <linxeh> Waddledee: oh, well Windows XP can be totally stable. I hate MS bashing for the sake of it. We have linux boxes at work that crash regularly because the hardware isn't fully supported, or the drivers are of poor quality. equally we have windows boxes with the same behaviour
[02:21] <gortba> Ok. thanks everyone
[02:21] <gortba> thanks Pelo
[02:21] <Pelo> avis,  that is how you get progs to start on boot
[02:21] <gortba> adios
[02:21] <Pelo> gortba,  best of luck
[02:21] <gortba> :)
[02:21] <Belboz99> Hey all, I don't seem to have direct rendering supported currently, and I cannot determine why.   I am using the nvidia driver, and it appears to load properly, I see the NVidia logo at login, any ideas?
[02:21] <Pelo> JimM, http://book.opensourceproject.org.cn/distrib/ubuntu/unleashed/
[02:21] <Waddledee> linxeh: I'm not MS bashing for the sake of it.  What spurred me to get Ubuntu was rebooting my XP system, going to bed, getting up, and finding the system so wedged (when I hadn't done anything with it) that I couldn't even reboot.
[02:22] <x3ro> Waddledee: are all partitions on the same drive?
[02:22] <avis> Waddledee: sounds like you need to partition your hard drive to give room for windows and make a grub backup floppy to make sure you can get back into ubuntu
[02:22] <arsalan> mobutu: are u there
[02:22] <JimM> Pelo, thanks for the link, checking it out right now.
[02:22] <mobutu> arsalan: it's probably not a youtube problem, it's a 'sound in flash' problem
[02:22] <hendaus> Pelo:  where is that option, i tick from devices to show at desktop the second hd
[02:22] <arsalan> hmm so what I  gota do
[02:22] <Waddledee> x3ro, avis, here's the situation.  I have one drive that's partitioned in half.  The first half is where XP was; the second half is where files I might want to access from either side are (that's FAT32).
[02:23] <linxeh> Waddledee: I've never seen that at home, nor at work with 5000+ 2k and XP boxes (other than when something bad has happened hardware wise). Maybe these boxes don't do as much as yours though
[02:23] <mobutu> arsalan: there's so many things that oculd be wrong.  did you look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=255422
[02:23] <Waddledee> xero, avis: the other drive is given over completely to Ubuntu.  Windows and Ubuntu were existing in harmony, that's not the problem.  The problem is that I can't do a clean install of Windows because (I'm guessing) the boot info is on the Linux drive.
[02:23] <dkkong> Is there any way I can use my Lexmark's Scanner Feature under Linux? I see it listed under lsusb, but nothing will work with it software wise.
[02:23] <PurpZeY> So, is beryl something a lot of people use and is, commonplace, or is it just considered a tool for visual effects that not too many people use?
[02:23] <Pelo> hendaus,  you say you see an icon on your desktop for the second hdd ?  rightclick on it,  go down to properties,  in the tab for permission, see what permissions you have
[02:23] <avis> ok.  xp doesn't install on fat32 i dont think.  at least my x64 doesn't
[02:23] <x3ro> well^^ do it the easy way: disconnect your linux drive, than there is no way that windows will want to write on it
[02:23] <Evensar> Hi! I have a problem with the terminal, i cant open it, when i click on terminal in Appplications, it loads for a while but then it stops, and nothing more happens. i have tried to reinstall it with synaptic but it didnt help. Anyone got an idea?
[02:23] <mobutu> arsalan: actually that's pretty old.  there must be something more recent in the ubuntuforums.org forums.
[02:23] <Pelo> PurpZeY, a lot of ppl use it,  but it basicaly just candy
[02:24] <hendaus> Pelo:  hdb1
[02:24] <mobutu> PurpZeY: using beryl breaks playing movies for me in vlc, so i quit using it
[02:24] <linxeh> PurpZeY: if it was stable I would use it a lot because I think the fancy visual feedback really makes things more "ergonomic", but unfortunately it isn't (yet)
[02:24] <hendaus> Pelo:  i am using kubuntu
[02:24] <Pelo> Evensar, atl f2    xterm
[02:24] <Waddledee> linxeh: it's entirely possible some program I was running was at fault.  That doesn't really solve my problem, though.
[02:24] <Weldon> Hey guys... just installed Feisty on my laptop (HP Pavilion DV6115CA) and it appeared to keep freezing on boot (no trouble with livecd).

[02:25] <Pelo> !dvd
[02:25] <ubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[02:25] <x3ro> where was I ^^ somebody knows how I tell my video players on which screen to display the vid???
[02:25] <mobutu> orbisvicis: playing the dvd with vlc might work too
[02:25] <PurpZeY> linxeh: So, in your opinion it isn't worth it?
[02:25] <dkkong> !lexmark
[02:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about lexmark - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:25] <hendaus> bruenig: i make format another time :(
[02:26] <orbisvicis> all the other players work, its just that totem has this annoying bug
[02:26] <linxeh> PurpZeY: set it up, play with it, and if its stable for you then use it - for me it got annoying having to change window manager all the time to make my session usable again
[02:26] <x3ro> damn^^ nobody?
[02:26] <Dark_Avenger> how do i download stuff using ubuntu
[02:26] <arsalan> mobutu: well video play well in the browser and I even can raise or lower the volume but I dont hear any sound. i checked with XMMS I m hearding sound there. Do you think that reinstalling firefox could help?
[02:26] <x3ro> same as on windows xP @ Dark_Avenger ...
[02:26] <Dark_Avenger> o
[02:26] <Pelo> Dark_Avenger,  with download apps same as in windows
[02:26] <Weldon> anybody?
[02:27] <linxeh> PurpZeY: I'm going to try it every couple of months to see how it has improved. you could also try compiz (the project from which beryl was forked  - they have much in common)
[02:27] <JammasterJay> Everytime i boot up, i have to enter sudo depmod -ae, sudo modprobe bcm43xx in terminal for my wireless card to be detected, is there a way that i could have this saved or automated on startup?
[02:27] <Pelo> Weldon,  anybody what ?
[02:27] <x3ro> yeah... anybody?^^
[02:27] <Weldon> Pelo:  just installed Feisty on my laptop (HP Pavilion DV6115CA) and it appeared to keep freezing on boot (no trouble with livecd).

[02:27] <ajmorris_> what is the command for seeing system specs in the CLI, i have forgotten
[02:27] <orbisvicis> is it possible to configure/'tell' totem that the necessary plugins are installed?
[02:28] <Pelo> JammasterJay,  it is supposed to be automated, you should never have to do that everytime,  you must ahve missed someting in the proceedure
[02:28] <Slart> ajmorris_: try starting with hw and try autocomplete
[02:28] <atrus> orbisvicis: how are you playing it "manually"?
[02:28] <PurpZeY> linxeh: Yeah, I guess the thing is, I saw this video with the fancy cube spinning and everything, and I thought "Gee, I want that" but, it seems like it might end up being more trouble than anything else
[02:28] <linxeh> ajmorris_: hmm, cat /proc/cpuinfo ? dmesg | less ?
[02:28] <Pelo> Weldon,   search for the error msg in the forum ,  it's the best advice I can give you
[02:28] <orbisvicis> manual = select from menu       Auto = insert dvd &let play
[02:28] <linxeh> PurpZeY: I think it depends on your hardware; on some systems it is apparently very stable. on mine it would randomly crash and leave me with no window manager
[02:29] <linxeh> PurpZeY: it is about time I tried again though
[02:29] <Weldon> haven't been able to find anything relevant either via google or on the forum.. and I don't think that's where it's actually freezing, but rather whichever step comes next  :(
[02:29] <Pelo> Weldon,  are you overclocking by any chance ?
[02:29] <Slart> ajmorris_: lshw might work too
[02:29] <atrus> orbisvicis: sounds like a bug unrelated to plugins. the message is somewhat misleading.
[02:30] <fosofosho> majortom: i dont understand all of the how-to
[02:30] <majortom> fosofosho: best of luck to you, thats all i have
[02:30] <Dark_Avenger> http://hackpr.net/~sub7/downloads.shtml
[02:30] <fosofosho> it says to navigate to where i extracted the fw files,
[02:30] <fosofosho> i dont know how to navigate to that in the terminal
[02:30] <orbisvicis> hmm, ill try from terminal ... maybe it looks for hda instead of hdb
[02:30] <ardya> cd some_dir
[02:30] <fosofosho> its on the desktop, i just dont know the command
[02:30] <Weldon> Pelo:  Nope, new laptop that I just wanted to try a linux distro on, was going to try pclinuxos but decided to give Feisty a try as I've heard it had great hardware detection
[02:30] <ardya> thats navigfate
[02:31] <x3ro> Dark: install an ed2k client
[02:31] <x3ro> *a
[02:31] <ajmorris_> slart, linxeh, thanks but i thought there was a command that showed better results, like the results shown i dxdiag in windows, what about just through the GUI, you know of a way?
[02:31] <Dark_Avenger> k
[02:31] <pppoe_dude> anyone got the brightness applet to work with an intel chipset?
[02:31] <majortom> fosofosho: open up a terminal, cd /directory/you/extracted/to
[02:31] <linxeh> ajmorris_: there is a system info thing or hardware browser gui tool yeah
[02:31] <Slart> ajmorris_: hmm.. hardinfo might be sometihng like that.. sudo apt-get install hardinfo
[02:31] <Pelo> Weldon,  that errormsg sounds to me like hardware problem possibly,  try asking in ##linux they are a bit more 1337 they might know
[02:31] <isabelabadone> are there any hard drive repair, scanning, error fixing, etc... applications for ubuntu? i think my HDD has an error on it that is preventing me from partitioning it correctly
[02:31] <Pelo> Weldon,  or #hardware
[02:32] <kazol> xtknight: I still get the error msg. Any ideas?
[02:32] <Pelo> isabelabadone, fsck
[02:32] <isabelabadone> pelo: ran it and it came out clean. but it still gives me an error when i partition it
[02:32] <ajmorris_> linxeh, what is the name of the GUI tool?
[02:32] <pppoe_dude> isabelabadone, what error?
[02:32] <Weldon> something physically with the hardware?  The pre-installed OS is working fine, though I guess that's not necessarily a great indication
[02:32] <linxeh> ajmorris_: eg kinfocenter for kde. I dont know the gnome one off the top of my head
[02:32] <Pelo> isabelabadone,  fdisk
[02:33] <Slart> ajmorris_: hmm.. I don't know of anything gui based by heart.. but I'm sure there is something
[02:33] <PurpZeY> linxeh: Yeah, unfortunately I think I have to stay away from it, b/c my gnome has been stable for a while, but I am just getting used being able to change the settings and editing things...If something goes totally whacked, I won't know what to do
[02:33] <ajmorris_> kk, thanks, linxeh and Slart
[02:33] <x3ro> really nobody present can give me a SMALL hint?^^
[02:33] <Pelo> ajmorris_, gui tool to do what ?
[02:33] <kon> how can i override a max screen resultion for a montior in xorg.conf?
[02:34] <isabelabadone> pppoe_dude: it says fatal error on gparted boot up live cd and on the regular gparted in ubuntu it just says there is an error on the disk
[02:34] <linxeh> PurpZeY: there is a hardware browser on the gnome menus somewhere on ubuntu - try that
[02:34] <Pelo> x3ro, wrong video driver selected , open up mplayer,  goto the prefs and selec tthe x11 one
[02:34] <ajmorris_> Pelo, i just wanna see my system specs through CLI or GUI much like what is displayed in dxdiag in windows
[02:34] <orbisvicis> atrus: I dont know how to reproduce the error: from the terminal this [totem /media/cdrom0 play]  works ... any ideas?
[02:34] <fosofosho> majortom: sorry, im an idiot and cant figure how to navigate
[02:34] <fosofosho> im a noob
[02:34] <vicente> hi guys, I have a problem with my wi-fi... somebody can help me?
[02:34] <kon> mine does support 1600x1200 but it says that is not possible with the hardware
[02:34] <PurpZeY> linxeh: Hardware browser?
[02:34] <Pelo> ajmorris_,  try  menu > system > prefs > hardware info
[02:34] <isabelabadone> i'd like to scan my hard drive for errors, is there a program other than fschk that will do that for me?
[02:34] <xtknight> kazol, so you set a mount point of / and still get an eror?
[02:34] <pppoe_dude> isabelabadone, you probably need to do a thorough check of all partitions on the harddisk, use the -cc parameter
[02:35] <dkkong> If I"m in a directory that contains drivers and it has a makefile in it, shouldn't I be able to do a make with no problems if I have build-essential?
[02:35] <isabelabadone> pppoe_dude: how do i do that?
[02:35] <linxeh> PurpZeY: have a look for it - I think it will show you the information you want. I run KDE because I find Gnome restricts me too much so I can't easily see what apps you get on Gnome from here
[02:35] <ajmorris_> Pelo, yeah i just found that, thanks, i wanted something more, in one place, nvm thanks anyway
[02:35] <Pelo> isabelabadone, what is the error msg you get when you try partitionning it ?
[02:35] <pppoe_dude> isabelabadone, or example, e2fsck -cc /dev/hda
[02:35] <vicente> after the installation of ubuntustudio I don't run my wi-fi
[02:35] <Pelo> ajmorris_,   man  cat
[02:35] <x3ro> kon: check if the mode is present, also check the Sync Frequencies...!!!!
[02:35] <pppoe_dude> s/or/for
[02:35] <isabelabadone> pelo, it just said that the process had to abort because there was an error on the disk. please check for errors and try again or something along those lines

[02:47] <kaboom2> Jordan_U: yeah
[02:47] <Pelo> Jared_P, what videocard do you have ?
[02:47] <kaboom2> Jordan_U: otherwise it hangs when loading gdm
[02:47] <pm2> Does anyone have any experience with virtualbox?  I'm running kubuntu feisty as a host, and win2k as the guest.  Win2k seems to hang frequently, for no apparent reason.  Has anyone seen this before, or have any advice?

[02:47] <vicente> Gerro?
[02:48] <kubuntu> Hello
[02:48] <kubuntu>  can someone help with a grub 1.5 loading non error?
[02:48] <Pelo> Jared_P,  you will probably have to install using the alternate install cd  it is text based and doesn'T use xorg,  then you can install the ati drivers to get the desktop working
[02:48] <imbecile> pppoe_dude:  so i drag the download of gdm theme to the "login window prefs" box? I dont see the new login windows in thE box
[02:48] <Jordan_U> kaboom2, If you removed gdm using apt it should not try to start it
[02:48] <kaboom2> hmm
[02:48] <fosofosho> thanks all
[02:48] <Pelo> Jared_P,  if you have one it would be a good idea
[02:48] <x3ro> wtf Pelo I cant see any options in MPlayer o___O
[02:48] <Jared_P> Pelo: OK, I will try my internal one.
[02:49] <kubuntu> When I boot the computer grub doesn't give me an error
[02:49] <pppoe_dude> imbecile, go to the 'local' tab
[02:49] <Pelo> x3ro,   rigthclick on the control pannel, go to preferences,  in the tab for video
[02:49] <pppoe_dude> imbecile, from there you can select "add theme", or perhaps drag it in
[02:49] <kaboom2>  Jordan_U: i removed gnomekeys and it deleted a lot more than i expected it would.
[02:49] <speaker219> anyone know how to dual boot windows and ubuntu
[02:49] <fosofosho> one more question, i extracted bcm43xxfirmware to my desktop, once i have my wireless working, can  i delete these files?
[02:49] <PocketIRC> is there a place where I can see what new software iss beeing added to the repos?
[02:49] <kubuntu> packages.ubuntu.com
[02:49] <killown> how I do to add dump for my desktop ?
[02:50] <Pelo> speaker219,  when you install ubuntu it will install a boot manager called grub , it will automaticaly include all other os on your system
[02:50] <killown> I only get add in gnome-panel but not in desktop
[02:50] <jrib> !icons > killown (see the private message from ubotu)
[02:50] <speaker219> is packages.ubuntu down for you guys?
[02:50] <speaker219> packages.ubuntu.com
 yeah..
[02:50] <Pelo> PocketIRC,  in synaptic ther is a status option , it contains a category called new in repos
[02:50] <speaker219> its been down all day
[02:50] <fosofosho> will my wireless still work if i get rid of the fw files?
[02:50] <Jordan_U> kaboom2, How did you remove it? You should install ubuntu-desktop to make sure you have everything you should if you don't know what was removed ( it will install gdm again as well, but you don't need to keep / use it )
 that start instaling from internet  (( i have not  a fast internet that why i prefer instal kde from cd
[02:50] <Cretep50> I have a Thinkpad R50e and Feisty has created weird video probs - the earlier versions did not.
 ok thanks..is new software added only on new ubuntu release ?
[02:51] <speaker219> anyone else here figured out ndiswrapper?
[02:51] <Cretep50> I have to reboot exactly three times to get Ubuntu to "recognize" the 1024 by 768 screen res.
[02:51] <Pelo> baghyay,  if you only have the ubuntu cd it does not have the kubuntu stuff on it , you'd have to download the kbubutu cd to do that, it will take lest time to install over the internet
[02:51] <Cretep50> it just goes round three times looking for the login and passoword.
[02:52] <kaboom2> Jordan_U: thank you for your help. i'm going to see if i can't use grub to boot into a command line
[02:52] <orbin> speaker219: figured out?
[02:52] <Cretep50> It's not that big a deal but you know, is frstrating. Why does it work the THIRD time around?
[02:52] <kaboom2> see you guys later on tonight :)
[02:52] <baghyay> okay thanks
[02:52] <Pelo> PocketIRC, if you had 3rd partie repos it will show in that screen,  I donT' know if new sofware is added between release , if some is it will show there
[02:52] <DocTrax> Flannel: ok i checked the logs
[02:53] <DocTrax> ubuntu is not so good for noobs
[02:53] <speaker219> ndiswrapper is starting to irritate me :(
[02:53] <kubuntu> Anyone have any idea how to recreate stage files for grub?
[02:53] <afie> Hey I have Beryl running but emerald doesn't run. When I open a terminal and run emerald I get this error: emerald: Could not acquire decoration manager selection on screen 0 display ":0.0"

[02:53] <afie> Using Nvidia here.
[02:53] <Pelo> DocTrax,  it is the freindliest distro around
[02:53] <x3ro> Pelo... it worked in Mplayer... any clue how I can do that in VLC as well??
[02:53] <DocTrax> because aou cant say: dont work as root
[02:53] <Jordan_U> PocketIRC, As a general rule new software is not added between releases unless necessary, but there is a backports repo for some things
[02:53] <Pelo> afie,   in fiesty ,  menu > system > admin > restricted drivers
[02:54] <DocTrax> ^^
[02:54] <Pelo> x3ro, basicaly the same thing
 okok
[02:54] <dkkong> xane is absolutely useless
[02:54] <Cretep50> Well the reason I got interested in it is that Edgy "just worked." I downloaded th eimage, burned th eCD, ran it from the cd, installed it, and it recognized everything on the machine (Thinkpad R50) Feisty is less accomodating.
[02:54] <speaker219> ?
[02:54] <DocTrax> logging is a nice idea but it does not protect
[02:54] <Jinchurei> I followed these instructions to install ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows  I ran the install, it seemed to go fine, then it told me i had a base install and asked what else i'd like to install.  I selected ubuntu desktop and it started that.  That was about four hours ago, and its been at 18% for most of that time.  What do i do now?
[02:54] <Pelo> dkkong,  try looking up what you need in the forum  not everyone here knows every thinga bout ubuntu or linux
[02:54] <afie> Pelo, I already have those drivers working I already have Beryl running. My problem is with getting a decoration manager running.
[02:54] <Solidous> hey quick question with the latest ubuntu client can you have dual operation systems? My xp client just crashed and needs to be restored and it dawned on me to try this first
[02:55] <Jordan_U> Cretep50, What is it not recognizing?
[02:55] <Pelo> afie, ask in #beryl
[02:55] <afie> Pelo, Restricted Drivers panel doesn't work anyway I get a popup telling me I don't need restricted drivers which is not true
[02:55] <DocTrax> and also a user with sudo rights can delete the log
[02:55] <Pelo> afie,  you donT' need any of the restricted drivers it can provide,  not the same thing
[02:56] <DocTrax> this makes no sense
[02:56] <Cretep50> I don't know what it's not recognizing. What I see is that it loads to the login prompt. Wen I log in, it goes black, then reloads the login prompt screen
[02:56] <afie> mm 'k. Well I have Beryl running this shouldn't be a driver issue
[02:56] <Pelo> speaker219,  try searching for help in the forum
[02:56] <speaker219> ok guys
[02:56] <Joethealmighty> does anyone know how to stop that GRUB thing from starting?
[02:56] <Cretep50> It will do that twice before it actually loads the gnome desktop on the third round.
[02:56] <speaker219> GRUB is the boot loader.
[02:56] <Jordan_U> Solidous, You mean having Windows and Ubuntu on the same computer? If so then yes, it is called dual booting and it is set up automatically by the installer if you choose to keep windows
[02:56] <speaker219> why do you want to stop it?
[02:56] <Pelo> DocTrax,  just don'T give sudo rights to ppl you donT' want to have it
[02:56] <kubuntu> Anyone have any idea how to recreate stage files for grub?
[02:56] <KillHartma1> wow just spent the last hour trying to get rid of the blank screen after login
[02:56] <speaker219> Does anyone know how to make the partition in Wubi larger?
[02:56] <Pelo> Joethealmighty,  you need gru b
[02:57] <Joethealmighty> i have ubuntu installed on an external which i dont always have
[02:57] <killown> anyone can to teach me how I do to swtich icon main menu gnome-panel?
[02:57] <Pelo> speaker219,  use gparted,
[02:57] <speaker219> i mean in Wubi
[02:57] <KillHartma1> i need help getting my sound to work, it recognizes when i hot the mute button on my keyboard but has a muted icon all the time
[02:57] <Pelo> Joethealmighty,  you should have installed grub to the external hdd then,  try asking in #grub on how to fix that
[02:57] <Solidous> Yeah Jordan_U that is excatly what i mean. Should I go ubuntu first or Windows. I remember someone telling me windows won't support a dual operation system boot unless i keep some of the hard drive unpartitioned
[02:57] <Cretep50> Kill H you can try the session manager in the lower l corner ("OPtions') do th escripts option
[02:58] <Jordan_U> Pelo, Wubi is the installer that installs to an image on an NTFS partition
[02:58] <Joethealmighty> ok thanks
[02:58] <KillHartma1> yeah thats how i got iot to pop up and let me use my desktop
[02:58] <Pelo> KillHartma1,  try searching for you keyboard model in the forum
[02:58] <Pelo> Jordan_U, ok then
[02:58] <hendaus> back
[02:59] <killown> anyone can to teach me how I do to swtich icon main menu gnome-panel?
[02:59] <hendaus> Pelo:  when i open the hd i got this --> mount: can't find /dev/hdb1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[02:59] <Pelo> killown,  check in the forum you can probably do it in   gconf-editor , but I donT knwo where in it
[02:59] <Jordan_U> Solidous, Install Windows first and leave unpartitioned space for Ubuntu ( Ubuntu can also resize the windows partition for space but why add another step :) then choose "use free space" from the Ubuntu installer.
[02:59] <KillHartma1> my keyboard works but the sound does not i get these errors; the colume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. this means you dont have the right gstreamer plugins installed ect ect ect, and then no volume control GStreamer plugins and or devices found
[03:00] <navets> hey does anyone know how I can burn an iso and then how I can read an iso
[03:00] <orbisvicis> using acroread & getting the ppklite failed to initialize error: the links to libldap and liblber exist but i still get the error, any ideas?
[03:00] <Pelo> hendaus,  what is the text editor in kde ?
[03:00] <KillHartma1> i dont think its picking up my sound card
[03:00] <Solidous> ok cool thanks jordan_U. :)
[03:00] <Pelo> !sound > KillHartma1  check for a private msg from ubotu
[03:00] <hendaus> Pelo: kdesu
[03:00] <Jinchurei> I ran the netboot from windows instructions and it ran fine until the additional software, where i selected ubuntu desktop.  Its been hanging at 18% for three hours.  What do i do?
[03:01] <hendaus> Pelo:  kate
[03:01] <Pelo> hendaus,   kdesu kate /etc/fstab  ,   look for the line staring with /dev/hdb1    tell me what the mount point for it is
[03:01] <zZZed> how can i partition my hd _after_ installing the base-system feisty?
[03:01] <x3ro> thanks a lot pelo^^ just was to stupid to save my settings in VLC X_X
[03:02] <hendaus> Pelo:  i try it there is no hdb1????
[03:02] <KillHartma1> pelo; when i double click the sound icon it gives the following "no volume control GStreamer plugins and or devices found"
[03:02] <kubuntu> Hello does anyone know how to recreate stage files in grub?
[03:03] <Pelo> hendaus,  copy your fstab to the paste bin so I can see what it looks like
[03:03] <hendaus> ok
[03:03] <zZZed> how can i partition my hd _after_ installing the base-system feisty?
[03:03] <Pelo> KillHartma1, sounds like your sound card is not installed or selected or recognised
[03:03] <Cretep50> Jin, it has clearly stopped. When that happens I usually hit the power switch and try again.
[03:03] <Cretep50> Blunt approach, but works about 50% of the time.
[03:03] <Cretep50> anyone with a clue about weird video probs on login with Feisty?
[03:03] <Pelo> zZZed,  use the live cd
[03:03] <__mikem> What partition does the install cd put linux into by default if you have the cd resize the partitions for you?
[03:04] <zZZed> i just install studio
[03:04] <Jared_P> I'm installing Ubuntu, but it won't detect my Windows files/users. How do I make it do so? I had made a seperate partition for Linux.. if that counts.. but I found out there is a conversion thingy, but how do I use it?
[03:04] <Pelo> __mikem,  I donT' think the cd resizes automaticaly
[03:04] <hendaus> Pelo:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21772/
[03:05] <Pelo> zZZed,  ask in #ubuntu-studio then
[03:05] <__mikem> Pelo, it does if you use the alternate CD
[03:05] <kitche> Jared_P: there is no such thing as a conversion tool to convert users over to a linux install you have to manually backup the files and put them ont he linux
[03:05] <Pelo> __mikem,  use gparted to check the hdd partitons,  the first  ext3 should be it
[03:05] <kubuntu> does anyone know how to recreate stage files in grub?
[03:05] <Pelo> hendaus,  hold on
[03:05] <hendaus> Pelo:  ok
[03:06] <Jared_P> But when I am installing, there is a tool that comes up to convert from Windows to Ubtunu.
[03:06] <Jinchurei> assuming i have an ubuntu CD that i can boot a machine from, can i use that cd to reformat the drive, download an ubuntu iso, and install from the iso on the drive?
[03:06] <__mikem> Pelo, I can't go into gparted right now, I am trying to use the rescue cd and it is is asking me which partition to try to rescue
[03:06] <Pelo> hendaus,  can you do the same for mtab ?
[03:06] <r33ddl3r> KillHartma1, li'm actually having a similar issue w/sound.. one day it just stopped working.. ubuntu feisty :\
[03:06] <Jinchurei> The cdrom can boot but it won't install, it just crashes
[03:06] <hendaus> Pelo:  ok wait
[03:06] <Pelo> __mikem same answer   the first partition in ext3
[03:07] <__mikem> Pelo, I have 5 choices, /dev/sda1 thorugh /dev/sda5, which one of these corosponds with "the first partition in ext3"
[03:07] <navets> can anyone tell me what this means
[03:07] <wheels3572> who here knows what needs to load and what doesnt' needed to be loaded that does?
[03:07] <navets> dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/iso.iso
[03:07] <hendaus> Pelo:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21773/
[03:08] <Pelo> __mikem, try to list them one by one to see which format they are
[03:08] <nrdb> are any of the giam protocols voice ?
[03:08] <speaker219> anyone know how to resize home.virtual.disk for Wubi?
[03:08] <Jinchurei> assuming i have an ubuntu CD that i can boot a machine from, can i use that cd to reformat the drive, download an ubuntu iso, and install from the iso on the drive?
[03:08] <__mikem> Pelo, I can't I am in a recovery disk, no such listing options are available
[03:08] <KillHartma1> ok this guide say to click on sound but it keeps saying no device found to controll
[03:08] <__mikem> speaker219 that feature hasn't been implimented in wubi yet
[03:08] <OrTigaS> hi! how hard or easy to install Ubuntu in external HD with Window$ installed?
[03:08] <speaker219> _mikem
[03:09] <speaker219> theres a gudie somewhere that tells you how to do it
[03:09] <speaker219> but i get an error
[03:09] <__mikem> what does the error say?
[03:09] <Pelo> hendaus,  add this line to fstab    /dev/hdb1 /media/HDB ext3 defaults 0 2

[03:09] <fxfitz> I just bought an external hard drive but it seems like I can't put ANYTHING on it. Permissions must be wrong, but I can't even do anything to it as root. Can anyone help???
[03:09] <kubuntu> can someone help me with grub?
[03:09] <navets> !grub
[03:09] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[03:09] <smg_child17> bisa cara intal ubuntu 7.04 ga?
[03:09] <x3ro> @fxfitz: definitely mounted with the wrong options
[03:09] <Pelo> hendaus,  then  run this command in the terminal    sudo mkdir /media/HDB
[03:10] <__mikem> Pelo, again I have five choices, /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3 /dev/sda4 and /dev/sda5, which ones is the first partition in ext3 as you put it
[03:10] <Lounge> what's the story on "iceweasel being renamed  back to firefox" in ubuntu?
[03:10] <fxfitz> x3ro, I'm kind of new to linux. All I did was plug in the harddrive and it popped up on my desktop.
[03:10] <speaker219> hold on ill tell you what the error says
[03:10] <smg_child17> any1 from indonesia?
[03:10] <KillHartma1> any ideas on how to get to recognise my sound card?
[03:10] <kubuntu> fxfitz: Probably not formatted
[03:10] <hendaus> Pelo:
[03:10] <hendaus> ok
[03:10] <Pelo> __mikem,  ext3 is the files system   the information you are giving me does not contain any filesystem details
[03:10] <__mikem> Pelo, thats the only information I have available right now
[03:11] <fxfitz> kubuntu, But I can access files that were already on the harddrive when I bought it.
[03:11] <x3ro> yeah^^ or that x_X
[03:11] <Jinchurei> Will the Ubuntu livecd allow me to mount an ISO as a virtual drive?
[03:11] <Pelo> __mikem,  find a way to dislplay the files system information for the partitons
[03:11] <DM|> Ok anyone know what i can do about my clock/sys bar/trash can on my panel MOVING when they are locked right after a reboot....... help im so tired of having to unlock and move and lock again to where i want them
[03:11] <kubuntu> Jinchurei: Sure
[03:11] <pppoe_dude> how can i stop gnome from thumbnailing videos?
[03:11] <__mikem> Pelo, it is not posible to do this from the rescue cd
[03:11] <Pelo> pppoe_dude,  that would be a nautilus options,  open up  a nautilus windows   menu > edit > preferences  check in there
[03:11] <pppoe_dude> actually nm, i think there's a bug in nautilus
[03:12] <Jinchurei> Kubuntu - If i can do that, can i mount an ISO of the ubuntu install cd and run the install from that iso rather than my cdrom?  the cdrom is old and crappy and can't actually handle the install
[03:12] <pppoe_dude> where even if you specify a max file size it doesn't work
[03:12] <x3ro> @fxfitz: first go to your computer and unmount it (right click on it, then unmount)
[03:12] <Pelo> __mikem, I cannot help you then, the rescue cd must have anothe tool in it to give you this information,  even if it is one partition at a time
[03:12] <fxfitz> x3ro, Alright. Unmounted.
[03:12] <Jordan_U_> Jinchurei, Is it hanging at downloading packages or installing them?
[03:12] <Pelo> __mikem,   get out the rescue cd and boot up the live cd and check using gparted
[03:13] <vox754> Pelo, how can you not have any experience with wireless... that is so weird
[03:13] <Jinchurei> Jordan_U_ - It's hanging about thirty seconds after I click install, before it does anything i can see
[03:13] <Pelo> vox754, I have never used one,  I only work with desktop,
[03:13] <hendaus> Pelo:  and then
[03:13] <x3ro> @fxfitz: hold on a sec^^rl calling
[03:13] <fxfitz> Gotcha.
[03:13] <Pelo> vox754,  and I have never actualy owned a router either but I can probably forward a port in 99% of them blindfolded
[03:13] <kazol> Should I use ext2 or ext3 for a webserver (800Mhz, 256MB, 2x10GB Software RAID-1)?
[03:13] <KillHartma1> still nothing with sound, i try to bring up the options for sound but there is no device it says, how do i get it to recognize the sound card
[03:14] <Pelo> hendaus,  did you do terminal command to ?  sudo mkdir  /dev/hdb1 /media/HDB ?
[03:14] <hendaus> Pelo:  yes
[03:14] <Pelo> hendaus,  restart you system
[03:14] <kazol> Should I use a ext2 or ext3 partition for a webserver (800Mhz, 256MB, 2x10GB Software RAID-1)?

[03:16] <navets> Pelo: its not an iso file tho, its just a regular folder with a bunch of drivers that i want to make iso
[03:16] <fxfitz> x3ro, Yes?

[03:16] <x3ro> join #x3ro x_X to busy in here xP
[03:16] <Jordan_U_> Jinchurei, I don't know in what order the netinstall goes but if it has already installed the base system including grub then it is probably just chrooting in and using apt to install, if that is true ( and it may not be ) then it should not be catastrophic if you shut down now, reboot into the installed system and install ubuntu-desktop from apt
[03:16] <Pelo> navets,  man mkisofs
[03:16] <kazol> Pelo: So I could search files faster?
[03:16] <x3ro> *too

[03:31] <n0n4m3> the box is like.. new
[03:31] <KiloHertz> KillHartma1, by looking at that. One your card is not installed. Or two your sound card is dead.
[03:31] <KillHartma1> hmm
[03:31] <Pelo> n0n4m3,  i realy woudlnT' know,  if you have an error msg you can try looking it up in the forum  www.ubuntuforums.con use the search feature
[03:31] <KillHartma1> it was just working an hour or two ago on windows xp
[03:31] <vox754> n0n4m3, yes, new boxes have new hardware hence unsupported sometimes
[03:31] <KiloHertz> Well Windows broke it :)
[03:31] <Jordan_U_> n0n4m3, Why do you think that using the alternate CD wouldn't help?
[03:31] <KillHartma1> im sure windows did they are pricks
[03:32] <KillHartma1> should i go into bios and enable onboard and try that way?
[03:32] <KiloHertz> Yep in the end MICROSOFT is pricks :)
[03:32] <KiloHertz> Yeah try that KillHartma, and make sure you switch your speakers to the ONBOARD.
[03:32] <KillHartma1> ok i will return in a few

[03:33] <n0n4m3> Jordan_U_ i'd like to use the x server (and aiglx with beryl eventually) so if it doesn't work in install mode, how could it work later...

[03:34] <ironcladlou> ubuntu-rocks: let me find out what kind of drives they are
[03:34] <nato70_> I wonder if someone could help me...
[03:34] <Pelo> hendaus,  did it work ?
[03:34] <ubuntu-rocks> ironcladlou-i was only using 1 drive, neither or them was detected by the installation
[03:34] <Jordan_U_> n0n4m3, Because the LiveCD isn't perfect :) I have installed on comps that wouldn't boot the LiveCD and had X work afterwords :)
[03:34] <hendaus> Pelo: no
[03:35] <Pelo> nato70_,  we are wondering what your problem is
[03:35] <ironcladlou> ubuntu-rocks: the installer, gparted, fdisk all see them just fine
[03:35] <nato70_> Pelo, :)
[03:35] <Pelo> hendaus,  is the hdd mounted to your desktop ?
[03:35] <ironcladlou> ubuntu-rocks: but grub refuses to boot them
[03:35] <tim167> Pelo ah ok thanks, but there is no trash, still it wont eject...
[03:35] <imbecile> how do i change grub boot screens?
[03:35] <hendaus> Pelo: mntent] : warning: no final newline at the end of /etc/fstab, mount: only root can mount /dev/hdb1 on /media/HDB
[03:35] <homebrewcider> can someone tell me please how to find out the display resolution that I'm running in xubuntu, it has options for 800 x 600, above that "default" is highlighted, I'm assuming default is 1024 x 768 but I'd like to know
[03:35] <hendaus> Pelo:   yes it is on my desktop
[03:35] <nato70_> well... I just recompile my kernel... and for some reason... the system just doesn't boot anymore
[03:35] <Pelo> tim167, is it being used by an app ?
[03:35] <Pelo> hendaus,  and can you open it ?

[03:35] <satsukew> I just installed Ubuntu Feisty and tried to add my Lexmark 4330 printer. The printer shows up in the printer wizard but the drivers don't work for it. Any suggestions?

[03:36] <hendaus> Pelo:  when i ope it , i gave u the message
[03:36] <ubuntu-rocks> ironcladlou- i guess you double checked the grub config.  is the hard drive ide or sata?
[03:36] <gluttony> how do i create a root account?
[03:36] <vox754> satsukew, I think Lexmark is not very Linux friendly, if you know otherwise let me know
[03:36] <Pelo> nato70_,  I can't help with that , keep asking somene else maybe alble to help
[03:36] <tim167> Pelo, no, i checked every thing, nothing is using the disk afaict
[03:36] <ironcladlou> ubuntu-rocks: they are both sata
[03:36] <hendaus> Pelo: mntent] : warning: no final newline at the end of /etc/fstab, mount: only root can mount /dev/hdb1 on /media/HDB
[03:36] <n0n4m3> gluttony you don't have to
[03:36] <Pelo> hendaus,  same msg as before ?
[03:37] <nato70_> Pelo, anyway thank you for your attention!
[03:37] <homebrewcider> crdlb-many thanx
[03:37] <n0n4m3> gluttony root account is already there.. it's just disabled...
[03:37] <satsukew> So even though it shows the right series and everything in the wizard on the right port, it's not going ot work?
[03:37] <ironcladlou> ubuntu-rocks: i can't really check the menu.lst since he can't get in and can't seem to locate the mounted disk from the live cd
[03:37] <gluttony> how do i enable it
[03:37] <n0n4m3> gluttony it's more than one way... set password with sudo
[03:37] <bruenig> hendaus, put a new line at the end of /etc/fstab error is pretty clear on that
[03:37] <Jordan_U_> gluttony, You should just use sudo... but if you insist on enabling the root account then sudo passwd root
[03:37] <n0n4m3> open terminal and then... sudo bash
[03:37] <n0n4m3> enter your password
[03:37] <n0n4m3> and voila, ... you're now root
[03:37] <n0n4m3> passwd
[03:37] <Pelo> hendaus, ok  open up fstab , move the /dev/hdb1  line up before the cdrom lines ,  and make sure there is an empty line at the end of the file
[03:37] <tim167> Pelo, strangely it unmounts and then immediately remounts and gives message 'cannot eject medium'
[03:38] <Alonea> anyone manage to get sound working in PySol?
[03:38] <gluttony> thanks
[03:38] <n0n4m3> enter pass and you're prolly done
[03:38] <n0n4m3> i could be wrong
[03:38] <FurryNemesis> stupid question but how do I execute a .bin file?

[03:38] <n0n4m3> FurryNemesis ./
[03:38] <ubuntu-rocks> ironcladlou-can he try a different boot cd to access the hard drive?
[03:38] <imbecile> how do i change grub boot screens? anyone? pleeeaassee
[03:38] <bruenig> FurryNemesis, chmod +x whatever.bin ./whatever.bin
[03:38] <FurryNemesis> ah

[03:38] <speaker219> how can i recover my root password?
[03:38] <Pelo> n0n4m3,  use the nick of the person in each line it is lsdd confuging,  and donT' use  the enter key as punctuation
[03:39] <Jordan_U_> imbecile, Do you mean adding an image to the background or changing the menu?
[03:39] <ironcladlou> ubuntu-rocks: doubtful. he just rebooted to screw with the hdd settings, he'll be back soon and we'll go from there
[03:39] <n0n4m3> Pelo yessir ;)
[03:39] <satsukew> So even though it shows the right series and everything in the wizard on the right port, it's not going ot work?
[03:39] <Jordan_U_> speaker219, recover in what way?
[03:39] <ironcladlou> ubuntu-rocks: messing with nix without a 2nd computer to surf the web is definitely risky business :)
[03:39] <KiloHertz>     speaker219, do you mean like if you type su and then it ask you for a root password. That?
[03:39] <speaker219> so i dont have to type sudo every time
[03:40] <Jordan_U_> speaker219, sudo -s
[03:40] <KiloHertz> speaker219, you would type sudo passwd root
[03:40] <ubuntu-rocks> ironcladlou-yup.  i recommend vmware for messing with os'es first or at least a new drive
[03:40] <n0n4m3> gluttony err... you could also write sudo passwd and then type in root password... that would be somewhat faster :)
[03:40] <KiloHertz> speaker219, then enter password for root, then you then can type su and login as root
[03:40] <hendaus> Pelo:  ok i edit the line down of the frist hda1
[03:40] <imbecile> Jordan_U_:  I want to theme it
[03:40] <gluttony> kool

[03:48] <dnite> Pelo: it does it for pretty much every mp3 i try and load.. and cpu usage jumps to 100% for the entire time. at first I thought it was converting the tracks before it put them in the list.. but that step comes next after i hit the burn button.
[03:48] <Pelo> hendaus,  that will only work for now,  because we mounted manualy , we still dont, know if it will automount on your next startup
[03:48] <KillHartman> im not sure of the exact model, i will have to check, isnt ther a way through bios to check and see?
[03:48] <Alonea> Gnurdux: well, technically I am on Kubuntu. Not really familiar with the stuff on the gnome version, but you might try that app and see if it works better.
[03:48] <Jordan_U_> r691175002, You can search through packages with System -> Administration -> Synaptic package manager or use the command : apt-cache search < keyword >
[03:48] <Gnurdux> hmm
[03:48] <hendaus> Pelo:  cool
[03:48] <Gnurdux> i dont think its the app
[03:48] <Pelo> dnite,  like I said,  checking the files
[03:48] <r691175002> ah thanks
[03:49] <KiloHertz> Anyone here know how to configure WINE to play HALO Combat Evolved?
[03:49] <speaker219> ok i installed wine, and have an exe file, and when i double click no program is associated so i tried open with and Wine isnt on the list...what do i do?
[03:49] <Pelo> KiloHertz, ask in #wine
[03:49] <Pelo> KiloHertz, ask in #winehq
[03:49] <KiloHertz> Okay thx
[03:49] <dillona> no
[03:49] <dnite> Pelo,  it wouldnt be that big of a deal, but my computer run kinda hot and the 100% cpu locks 'er up sometimes.. x=\ i don't think it should take 30 seconds to a minute to check a single mp3 file for errors or whatever..
[03:49] <KiloHertz> speaker219, terminal wine name of .exe
[03:49] <dillona> its a gnome thing
[03:49] <Pelo> speaker219,   sudo apt-get install wine
[03:49] <Alonea> Gnurdux: well, on Kubuntu, KNetworkManager and NetworkManager are quite buggy and I could not connect at all with them. Got rid of both and now I am happy with Wireless Assistant, which is what I used anyway on Edgy
[03:49] <Gnurdux> hmm
[03:49] <speaker219> Pelo, I already installed wine...
[03:50] <dillona> its
[03:50] <Pelo> speaker219, then  terminal       wine /path/to/file.exe
[03:50] <KillHartman> is wine just as good as cedega? if i wanted to play a game that is would it work jsut as fine?
[03:50] <Jordan_U_> speaker219, right click and choose open with, enter the command "wine"
[03:50] <Pelo> KillHartman,  cedega is based on wine  but wine is free
[03:50] <Jordan_U_> speaker219, sorry, right click, properties, open with
[03:51] <speaker219> what kind of things can i expect to work with wine?

[03:52] <LittleJim68> Did anyone understand my question, did I word it badly?
[03:52] <sid> Anyone else here on feisty and can do "apt-get build-dep gnash" and tell me if they get this error "E: Build-dependencies for gnash could not be satisfied." ?

[03:52] <LittleJim68> A question I was not able to find in the forums;  I have lots of older ATA harddrives but want to install ubuntu/XP dual boot on my newer SATA drives.  Problem is I switch out ATA drives all the time and this changes the harddrive # in Grub.  Is there a way I can still dual boot?
[03:52] <Joshooa> How do I fix that and upgrade?
[03:53] <cables> imbecile, /boot/grub/menu.lst as in Lst :)
[03:53] <r691175002> whoa thanks everyone, i have been following speakers questions and I got graphicsGale to work!

[03:53] <Pelo> LittleJim68, I dont, have an answer foryou  ask again at a later time
[03:53] <jrib> TOoSmOotH: works fine here, p5b deluxe
[03:53] <cables> speaker219, if you add the System Monitor applet to the panel, you can click it to get a process manager
[03:54] <joel_> is there a way to make ubuntu get mroe performance by useing moe ram? lol it doesnt eat any
[03:54] <LittleJim68> ok thanks Pelo.  I think I might have to retire my old ATA drives *bummer*

[03:54] <cables> joel_, adding more ram can help with speed
[03:54] <joel_> i got 2GB
[03:54] <cables> joel_, lol, that should be plenty
[03:54] <codename> Everytime I install my Nvidia Drivers, the login screen won't load up, any ideas?
[03:54] <joel_> the max ubuntu had used is 13%
[03:54] <cables> joel_, that's insane
[03:55] <Pelo> codename, chck in the forum for hat issue ,
[03:55] <dillona> @joel_ a
[03:55] <joel_> i want it to eat more ram and less cpu
[03:55] <joel_> :)
[03:55] <Joshooa> How can i make Ubuntu check a different spot for the 7.04 upgrade so I can upgrade?
[03:55] <cables> joel_, lol, the RAM doesn't do the same thing as the CPU :)
[03:55] <LittleJim68> THere is no excuse not to add ram nowdays.  2gig cost less then my first 1mb
[03:55] <r691175002> as far as I know, they arent interchangable
[03:55] <cables> !upgrade | Joshooa
[03:55] <Pelo> joel_,  I hardly use more then half of mine ,  such is linux
[03:55] <ubotu> Joshooa: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[03:55] <joel_> i know in xp i needed that much
[03:55] <dillona> xp is a memor hog
[03:55] <joel_> ubuntu ownz everything
[03:55] <ubuntu-rocks> can i restrict an app to not consume more than x amount of cpu usage?
[03:55] <joel_> and so does the low latency kernel
[03:56] <r691175002> just a question for the future, how good is ubuntu multi monitor support?
[03:56] <Pelo> ubuntu-rocks, I've asked and never got an answer
[03:56] <cables> r691175002, hard to set up...

[03:56] <cables> ubuntu, what?
[03:56] <r691175002> thanks
[03:56] <Pelo> r691175002,  you need to ask KiloHertz
[03:56] <r691175002> ok
[03:57] <Joshooa> cables: That doesn't tell my anything besides, hit the upgrade button.  That doesn't work.
[03:57] <Toma-> ubuntu-rocks: you can change its priority, which kind of does that
[03:57] <kevin__> joel_: turn down swappiness.. uses more ram but stops programs swapping out
[03:57] <KiloHertz> Hey r691175002, is this via two cards or one?
[03:57] <r691175002> two cards
[03:57] <cables> Joshooa, did you hit the Check for Updates button?
[03:57] <joel_> ya i already did that
[03:57] <joel_> swappiness is in 0
[03:57] <r691175002> I am hoping to eventually have 2 21" and 1 24" widescreen
[03:57] <Joshooa> cables: Yes, it starts the update but I get an error
[03:57] <ubuntu> what version are you all running/
[03:57] <KiloHertz> r691175002, nice okay come  to channel #multiubuntu
[03:57] <Joshooa> cables: 2 actually
[03:57] <cables> Joshooa, that's a problem on your end
[03:57] <joel_> can i put a negative number? lo
[03:57] <r691175002> ok thanks
[03:57] <Toma-> ubuntu: 7.04 is the most current
[03:57] <ubuntu-rocks> how can i schedule a cron job to kill an app but don't know the pid?
[03:58] <kevin__> heh.. nope
[03:58] <ethereality> can anyone help me unmount my external hard drive?
[03:58] <arro> Has anyone ever played a game called TREMULOUS?
[03:58] <Joshooa> Whenever I try to upgrade to 7.04, I get the error: "Failed to fetch http://givre.cabspace.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2)"
[03:58] <Toma-> ubuntu-rocks: killall rather than kill
[03:58] <Pelo> ubuntu-rocks, just use the app's name
[03:58] <ubuntu> big difference bettween 7.04 and the 5 i am  running/
[03:58] <ubuntu> ?
[03:58] <arro> ethereality, Did you try right clicking?
[03:58] <cables> ubuntu, lol, HUGE difference
[03:58] <Toma-> ubuntu: more features, better support and newer apps
[03:58] <joel_> low latency kernel is cool didnt had to reinstall any driver
[03:58] <Pelo> ubuntu-rocks,  kill $(pgrep -f  appname)
[03:59] <ubuntu> my first time trying it out...
[03:59] <cables> ubuntu, WAY newer apps, WAY more features, and WAY easier to use
[03:59] <jrib> Pelo: know of "pkill"?
[03:59] <ethereality> arro: yes, would you like to hear my error message?
[03:59] <Joshooa> How do I fix this?
[03:59] <Joshooa> Whenever I try to upgrade to 7.04, I get the error: "Failed to fetch http://givre.cabspace.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2)"
[03:59] <arro> sure, ethereality
[03:59] <Joshooa> The other updates work, just not that one
[03:59] <ethereality> well, first, can i tell you the second thing i tried? maybe you can tell me why the terminal says this:
[03:59] <ethereality> daniel@daniel-laptop:~$ umount /media/My\ Book
[03:59] <ethereality> umount: /media/My Book is not in the fstab (and you are not root)
[03:59] <Pelo> jrib,  no sorry ,  I just used a line I found in the forum
[03:59] <ubuntu> thanks i was DL it and just dumped it,,, since i had the 5 ver i thought i would check it out live first
[04:00] <cables> Joshooa, you should delete the packages you've installed from 3rd party repos and remove those repos in System>Administration>Software Source
[04:00] <Toma-> Joshooa: thats an edgy repository, and you want feisty
[04:00] <LittleJim68> A question I was not able to find in the forums;  I have lots of older ATA harddrives but want to install ubuntu/XP dual boot on my newer SATA drives.  Problem is I switch out ATA drives all the time and this changes the harddrive # in Grub.  Is there a way I can still dual boot and switch out ATA drives all the time?
[04:00] <jrib> Pelo: just saves some typing
[04:00] <Joshooa> but it's what the upgrade tries to use
[04:00] <Pelo> jrib, I'll keep it in mind for futur references  for now you crontab command works well
[04:00] <joel_> does firefox got memory hog bugs?
[04:00] <cables> Joshooa, that's because you have a 3rd party repo
[04:00] <cables> joel_, yeah, but it doesn't matter with 2 gb of ram
[04:00] <ethereality> when i right-click > eject, the icon temporarily disappears, then return, says "Cannot eject volume", and then /media/My Book opens in the file browser
[04:01] <Pelo> joel_,  not anymore but it is a cpu hog
[04:01] <Toma-> joel_: not really, are you running alot of extensions?
[04:01] <joel_> no like it comes
[04:01] <joel_> by default
[04:01] <bulmer> LittleJim68: look into udev
[04:01] <womble> Would it be reasonable to assume that someone knows about packages.ubuntu.com being down for (at least) about the past 3 hours?
[04:01] <LittleJim68> bulmer: udev??
[04:01] <Pelo> womble, not realy
[04:01] <joel_> cuz sometimes it acts weird
[04:02] <Toma-> joel_: try looking into galeon, swiftfox and iceweasel as theyre all great replacements
[04:02] <bulmer> LittleJim68: yes..google for the details
[04:02] <LittleJim68> ok will do...AFK
[04:02] <joel_> dont like swiftfox cuz it misses some codecs and or plugins
[04:02] <joel_> hadnt tryed iceweasel
[04:02] <ubuntu> thanks for the info
[04:02] <ubuntu> peace out
[04:02] <womble> OK, well, packages.ubuntu.com has been down for (at least) the past three hours... <grin>
[04:02] <arro> ethereality, I'm sorry, I never ran into that problem.  I can only help people with very simple problems, like not knowing to right click and press eject :(
[04:02] <ethereality> oh.
[04:03] <ethereality> :(
[04:03] <ethereality> there was a user here named ubuntu??
[04:03] <Pelo> womble,  stop making wild incredible histerical claims  , you'll start a panick :-)
[04:03] <ethereality> how do you find out where a partition is mounted?
[04:03] <Pelo> ethereality, open up gparted
[04:03] <ethereality> where is that?
[04:04] <Pelo> ethercle1r,  or  open the system monitor,  last tab
[04:04] <kevin__> ethereality: just type mount in a terminal
[04:04] <Pelo> ethereality,  or  open the system monitor,  last tab
[04:04] <ethereality> where is the system monitor?
[04:04] <Pelo> menu > syustem > admin
[04:04] <joel_> i heard ubuntu doesnt slowdown cuz of installed or runned programs
[04:05] <Pelo> joel_,  within limits
[04:05] <joel_> but why everything is smooth and quick i open some programs and it sometimes lags but i close them and still lag?
[04:05] <nokor> where is the boot log file?
[04:05] <Pelo> nokor,  probably in /var/log
[04:06] <nokor> thanks, let me check
[04:06] <kevin__> /var/log/boot
[04:06] <ethereality> my external hard drive does not appear in gparted.
[04:06] <ethereality> (which, for some reason, was not already installed. i had to install it.)
[04:06] <joel_> ubuntu is great the only thing that keeps me with a partition with windows xp bone edition is im graphic designer
[04:06] <TiM2> hello!
[04:07] <Pelo> ethereality, gparted is not part of the default install, it is assumed you've done all the partitionning you needed during installition
[04:07] <ethereality> oh, okay, good.
[04:07] <ethereality> (thanks)
[04:07] <joel_> oh and the printer, the only driver i found that works isnt free
[04:07] <cein> Pelo: wha?
[04:07] <Pelo> joel_, and I'm an industrial designer and I have the same issue
[04:07] <Pelo> cein,  what what ?
[04:07] <cein> "gparted is not part of the default install"
[04:08] <cein> are you referring to ubuntu?
[04:08] <ethereality> why did it mount my external hard drive as "/dev/sdb1" yesterday, but today it's mounted as "/dev/sdc1"?
[04:08] <joel_> if photoshop worked in ubuntu like it does on osx
[04:08] <TiM2> I'm looking to install eMule... I remember the package was right there in the main repository last version
[04:08] <Flannel> cein: he means it's notinstalled by default.  You're welcome to install it after the install.
[04:08] <joel_> and dreamweaver and all those tools
[04:08] <TiM2> anybody know a repository or how i could get eMule?
[04:08] <Pelo> cien yes, once you have installed ubuntu to your hdd gparted is not installed,  it is part of the live cd but it desnT, get installed to your hdd
[04:08] <kevin__> etherreality, no idea.. random
[04:08] <craigbass1976> Anyone get glest or boswar to install with apt?  Is there a repo I need to set up?
[04:09] <imbecile> hey guys, I am trying to add a image to my grub boot screen specifically this one.. i have followed instructions to no avail.. help please!!!
[04:09] <craigbass1976> TiM2, get amule
[04:09] <elnimr> how can i know if the dvd-writer i have is a RW
[04:09] <elnimr> ?
[04:09] <cein> but there is a graphical partition manager installed by default, no?

[04:09] <ethereality> is there a way i can get it to mount as "/dev/extdrive" every time or something?
[04:09] <cein> there definitely was in edgy!
[04:09] <Alan_> I have 6.06.1 LTS "Dapper Drake" and a Zydas zd1211 based USB wifi stick - I'm able to modprove -v zd1211 and can see that the module get's loaded
[04:09] <craigbass1976> elnimr, it says on the front of the drive
[04:09] <ethereality> cein: apparently not; i had to install gparted
[04:09] <Alan_> But no wlan0 gets created
[04:09] <cein> say what?
[04:09] <joel_> if it is RW i shall say it on the front of it
[04:09] <cein> i remember now
[04:09] <TiM2> thanks, but I don't want aMule... I'm using eMule on Windows and my incoming folder is on my Fat32 drive.
[04:09] <joel_> if it doesnt then is not
[04:09] <Pelo> imbecile,  check other grub wallpaper in gnomelook  some of the pages have instructiosn in them
[04:09] <cein> it's installed on the live cd, but it doesn't actually get installed on the... install
[04:09] <TiM2> I want to be able to continue my downloads on both OSs
[04:10] <craigbass1976> TiM2, you can mount up the fat drive in ubuntu.  Can't you just tell amule to save to that?
[04:10] <elnimr> well it says dvd-multi recorder ,rw dvd+r DL , compact disc ReWritable
[04:10] <ethereality> oh well; i'll worry about fixing the arbitrary mounting tomorrow. goodnight!
[04:10] <Pelo> g,night ethereality
[04:10] <craigbass1976> elnimr, looks liek it's a dvd-r then
[04:10] <imbecile> Pelo:  that one has instructions.. tried then rebooted with no image present
[04:11] <elnimr> craigbass1967 : u mean dvd+r
[04:11] <TiM2> aMule, atleast the current version, runs into fatal errors trying to load the downloads in progress (that we started from Windows)
[04:11] <kevin__> imbecile, the image needs to be 800x600 using < 15 indexed colors, and should be a gzipped xpm
[04:11] <TiM2> I know aMule originally is (atleast partly) a port of eMule
[04:11] <Pelo> imbecile,  did you put the image in the correct folder ?  did you edit the (hd0,0) in the menu.lst line to reflect the correct partiton to find the image on ?
[04:11] <TiM2> perhaps just an older version of aMule would work...
[04:12] <Pelo> imbecile,  did you unpack the image ? ( you're not suppose to)
[04:12] <joel_> any feisty performance tips?, maybe to make it more responsive
[04:12] <shawn34> is there anyway to get /join and part messages to post in the server window and not the channel?

[04:16] <womble> Enroot: Your tutorial needs a lot more detail.  I'd go and talk to the person who wrote the tutorial and ask them what protocol you're supposed to use to upload.
[04:16] <elnimr> ok, what about discs ,how can i know if the dvd discs i have are reWritable
[04:16] <Pelo> jarrod,  when ou installed the packages ( with synaptic or apt0get)  the prog is installed

[04:17] <chrisjs169> I can't seem to remember how to allow sshfs to let me have permission to view the mounted share
[04:17] <Enroot> ok thanks

[04:17] <Pelo> Raptor45, try a different theme see what happens
[04:17] <imbecile> Pelo:  It is dev/sda3
[04:17] <Raptor45> Pelo, I did that... didn't seem to change
[04:17] <moDumass> hey all, how do i share downloads wiuth other users of this machine
[04:18] <bruenig> Pelo, do you pretty much run this channel now
[04:18] <Raptor45> Pelo, would I have to restart the computer?
[04:18] <lucidblue> hey all, what file would I put in an mx record?
[04:18] <craigbass1976> moDumass, put them in a folder that everyone can see
[04:18] <fiveiron> anyone know a good app for accessing cell phones?
[04:18] <Pelo> jarrod,  add remove is just another front end for  apt-get , just like synaptic is,
[04:18] <Enroot> womble; i can give you the url if you can see what i need to do
[04:18] <Alan_> Flannel: Trying to get support - thanks
[04:18] <Cface> Okay i still need help with my Sound problem, Pelo.
[04:18] <womble> Enroot: Oh, go on then.
[04:18] <melman101> Hey all.
[04:18] <craigbass1976> lucidblue, doesn't that have something to do with a mail server?
[04:18] <womble> It's more fun than working.  <grin>
[04:18] <newbie> hi - anyone knows how to add www-data to a user group ?
[04:18] <newbie> I even add it via sudo gedit group by ...,www-data
[04:18] <rollerskatejamms> How do I add somebody to a group? Adding them to that line in /etc/group does nothing?
[04:18] <newbie> it does not work
[04:18] <Pelo> imbeciel then in that menu..lst  the line you added for the image  replace (hd0,0) for  (hd0,2)
[04:18] <rollerskatejamms> And what's the "group-" file
[04:18] <moDumass> craigbass, i did that and i can see them from my other user, but i cant runt he file
[04:18] <jarrod> okay so what does it mean if after i install with manager and it doesnt appear exacutable?
[04:19] <Enroot> womble; http://wiki.alliedmods.net/index.php/Installing_SourceMM
[04:19] <Flannel> Alan_: you're welcome to be in more than one channel, if you'd like to talk about the splitting
[04:19] <Pelo> Cface,  did you follow the instructions ?
[04:19] <craigbass1976> moDumass, then you have to make it executable by others too
[04:19] <lucidblue> craigbass1976: yah, I'm trying out zimbra, but the how-to mentions setting up the mx record first and it doesn't say where... has to do with dns stuff too I think
[04:19] <Pelo> jarrod, what did you install ?
[04:19] <jarrod>  3ddesktop
[04:19] <craigbass1976> lucidblue, right.  BIND.  Good luck
[04:19] <Alan_> Flannel - Understood - I'll give that a shot
[04:19] <moDumass> hmm, how would i do that?
[04:19] <craigbass1976> lucidblue, where's the site you're reading?
[04:20] <newbie> hi - anyone knows how to add www-data to a user group ?
[04:20] <newbie> I even add it via sudo gedit group by ...,www-data
[04:20] <newbie> it does not work
[04:20] <rollerskatejamms> Does anybody know how to add users to a group? I put the users on the proper line in /etc/group and it does nothing.
[04:20] <Pelo> jarrod,  is in  menu > system > prefs
[04:20] <squared> anyone familiar with ns-2 on ubuntu
[04:20] <Flannel> newbie: Go to users and groups and do it that way.

[04:20] <Pelo> jarrod,  or it's the other one the old cube that you need to start from the command line
[04:20] <lucidblue> craigbass1976: I'm reading back over it now, it does say BIND, but is that a file or an app? : http://www.howtoforge.com/installing_zimbra_collaboration_suite_on_ubuntu
[04:20] <matt____> I need this channels help. I have a new blog, and feel if I had a frontpage story on digg, it would help get it started. So could you all please digg these stories? http://digg.com/linux_unix/Top_Ten_Reasons_Linux_is_Better_Then_Windows http://digg.com/tech_news/Blog_Explosion http://digg.com/linux_unix/Disk_Encryption_In_Ubuntu_Feisty_In_Five_Easy_Steps
[04:21] <Comrade-Sergei> any one gotten sim city 4 to work in ubuntu?
[04:21] <Flannel> matt____: Please spam elsewhere, not here, thanks.
[04:21] <fiveiron> anyone know a good app for accessing cell phones?
[04:21] <Pelo> imbecile,  no  chagne (sda3.0)  for     (hd0,2)
[04:21] <matt____> Flannel: any idea where? thanks
[04:21] <newbie> Flannel: it does not work, so i did via sudo gedit
[04:21] <newbie> also in users/groups -- there is no such user called : www-data
[04:21] <Pelo> matt____,  if I could I would ban you
[04:21] <lucidblue> craigbass1976: "So if you use BIND on the authoritative name server for example.com, you should have something like this in example.com's zone file:" ?? where's the 'zone file'?
[04:21] <moDumass> craigbass, um, how would i do that? make it executable by other users i mean?

[04:22] <killown> gusty is the new version of ubuntu?
[04:22] <womble> fiveiron: It depends on the type of phone you've got.  (Don't ask me for more info, my phone is only just capable of making a call, let alone taling to a PC).  But more details might get you more useful info from someone else.
[04:22] <Flannel> newbie: users and groups is the place to do it.  And if there's no user www-data there, then it doesn't exist on your machine.
[04:22] <Alan_> I have 6.06.1 LTS "Dapper Drake" and a Zydas zd1211 based USB wifi stick - I'm able to modprove -v zd1211 and can see that the module get's loaded but no wlan0 is created - Do I need to create this manually?
[04:22] <Alan_> modprobe
[04:22] <craigbass1976> lucidblue, you have ot have bind set up.  I believe apt-get install bind9 will do it, but configuring can be a bear
[04:22] <Flannel> killown: gutsy will be 7.10, 7.04 is the current version
[04:22] <matt____> a
[04:22] <rollerskatejamms> Does anybody know what the file "/etc/group-" is for. NOT /etc/group
[04:23] <Toma-> Whats that silly command to see what real devices the UUID is?
[04:23] <newbie> Flannel: it is the LAMP user www-data
[04:23] <lucidblue> craigbass1976: k, well atleast that helps, thanks
[04:23] <killown> Flannel, how I do to update for gusty?
[04:23] <chdragonfly> omg, i don't know what i did, but sda1 where my windows partition is on was on the desktop...but now its not....how can i get it back on the desk top?

[04:23] <Flannel> killown: you don't want to.  gutsy is pre-alpha still.
[04:23] <killown> ok then
[04:24] <jrib> Flannel: heh, he ran
[04:24] <squared> when I type 'ns' it points to 'host', any clue what might be causing that
[04:24] <Hobbsee> too late.

[04:24] <corden> anybody using zope3 in ubuntu? tnx

[04:24] <Flannel> jrib: he can still get banned so hedeosnt come back
[04:24] <killown> I want new gnome-main menu
[04:24] <killown> its is possible?
[04:24] <newbie> This room seems busy, and i try to get out quick ly
[04:24] <bruenig> ubuntu, links
[04:24] <Pelo> back
[04:24] <ubuntu> and an email client?
[04:24] <nixternal> never to late, but I am guessing that ip can be easily changed
[04:24] <squared> this is about as easy to use as ubuntu
[04:24] <Flannel> ubuntu: theres a few.  Type "sensible-browser" and one will start, regardless of what you have installed
[04:24] <Striking7> ubuntu: pine
[04:24] <bruenig> damn alternatives
[04:24] <jrib> Flannel: good point, I thought he was pasting a log for some reason
[04:24] <newbie> Flannel: when you install LAMP , user www-data was created by system automatically, but it does not appear in user/groups
[04:25] <Striking7> ubuntu: I mean, pine for e-mail, lynx or links for web browsing
[04:25] <vbabiy> is there a tool for linux that you can right click on a image and resize it
[04:25] <vbabiy> to like 640x480
[04:25] <ubuntu> thanks
[04:25] <Striking7> ubuntu: no problem.
[04:25] <jrib> ubuntu: w3m, lynx, links
[04:25] <Flannel> newbie: users and groups uses the same methods as any other system thing.  It doesn't keep it's own database.  I know www-data exists, but it will alo be in users and groups if you've installed a GUI
[04:25] <jarrod> anyone know why desktop effect wouldn't work?
[04:25] <bruenig> jarrod, #ubuntu-effects
[04:26] <ubuntu> im trying to get used to running in the terminal. how do i leave an apt to go back the terminal to issue commands?
[04:26] <Enroot> newbie if want to change who owns what then just use the command chown
[04:26] <Flannel> newbie: however, we can do it from a command line as well.  You want to add thewww-data user to some other group? right?
[04:26] <jarrod> bruenig, ;(
[04:26] <Pelo> jarrod, remove 3d desktop that's a old thing and you dont, need it,  then ask in #ubuntu-effects for the rest
[04:26] <kevin__> Fannel, did you try gnome-main-menu?
[04:26] <bruenig> bruenig, :)
[04:26] <Comrade-Sergei> any one gotten sim city 4 to work in ubuntu?
[04:26] <vikzx86> Just installed Mplayer. I get the this fatal error with mplayer; "Error opening/intializing the selected video_out device". What is wrong?
[04:26] <newbie> Flannel: there is no such user or group called "www-data", but in file group, there is a group/user called "www-data"
[04:26] <jarrod> okay thanks pelo
[04:26] <bruenig> Comrade-Sergei, I am sure your sister can figure it out
[04:26] <Enroot> but be careful for changing ownership can screw the whole OS over
[04:26] <Comrade-Sergei> bruenig wyf?
[04:26] <newbie> Flannel: yes,  please show me the command line instead
[04:27] <Striking7> ubuntu: did you know you have lots of terminals available? If you hit alt+f1 through alt+f6 you can  have a different terminal in each
[04:27] <Flannel> newbie: type "groups www-data"
[04:27] <Flannel> newbie: that'll list the groups the www-data is currently in, and also verify that it exists
[04:27] <santos> hi everybody
[04:27] <Striking7> ubuntu: in addition, if you want to run a command (like apt) in the background, run it with & after it.  Like, apt-get install amarok &
[04:27] <newbie> Flannel: it says : www-data : www-data
[04:27] <santos> anybody can tell me how can I know the space of my partition in Ubuntu?
[04:27] <Striking7> ubuntu: that will make it run in the background.
[04:27] <jrib> santos: df -h
[04:28] <Flannel> newbie: right.  So www-data does exist as a user.  So, we want to add it to which group?
[04:28] <ubuntu> very funny
[04:28] <Striking7> ubuntu: What is funny?
[04:28] <Flannel> ubuntu: no, it really will.

[04:28] <Pelo> Raptor45,  did you install , turnon any desktop effects ?
[04:28] <Striking7> ubuntu: didn't mean to mislead you.
[04:28] <Comrade-Sergei> anyone had any luck installing and playing sim city 4 on ubuntu?
[04:29] <shawn34> how can i associate irc:// links with firefox/xchat ?
[04:29] <Striking7> ubuntu: when you're in a graphical desktop, you have to use "Control+Alt+f1" through f6.
[04:29] <santos> jrib, thanks, and can i see with graphic interface
[04:29] <Striking7> ubuntu: I should have asked first: my bad.
[04:29] <ubuntu> no, im in gui terminall. some reason terminal mode wont let me istall aps
[04:29] <Raptor45> Pelo, nope... all I think I've done extra is isntall ubuntu-restricted-extras and pidgin mostly
[04:29] <bruenig> shawn34, in firefox when I clicked on such a link it had some dialog about an external application and I just said yes or ok or whatever it was
[04:30] <Striking7> ubuntu: to install apps from the terminal, are you typing "sudo apt-get install <appname>"?
[04:30] <shawn34> bruenig, i don't get that option, just a message saying there is no association with that type of link
[04:30] <Pelo> Raptor45,  what is your video card and how much video memoery do you have ?
[04:30] <Striking7> ubuntu: before you try the "control+alt+f1" thing...
[04:30] <bruenig> shawn34, perhaps go to edit>preferences and see if you can set the filetype
[04:30] <Raptor45> Pelo, it's a laptop.. soooo let me see
[04:30] <Striking7> ubuntu:  know that "Control+alt+f7" will get you back to your graphical interface.

[04:31] <orehon> Anyone using RadRails or Eclipse + plugin?

[04:31] <newbie> i check file /etc/group and found
[04:31] <newbie> ben:x:1000:www-data
[04:31] <newbie> but it still not appear in GUI user/group
[04:31] <Striking7> ubuntu, would you private message me with the error it's giving you?
[04:31] <shawn34> bruenig, nothing
[04:31] <Striking7> ubuntu: and the command you're running?
[04:31] <Flannel> newbie: who cares about what the GUI says?
[04:31] <simplylezz> hi... what isthe ubuntu/linux equivalent of the Windows default program install directory (C:\Program Files)?
[04:32] <newbie> Flannel: ok, so it is all right now ?
[04:32] <bruenig> simplylezz, /usr I guess. They aren't the same. Linux puts stuff in a bunch of places.
[04:32] <Flannel> newbie: type "groups www-data" and find out
[04:32] <TakeOut{u}> /bin /usr/sbin
[04:32] <Cface> How do i use modprobe to find out what sound card i have?
[04:32] <Flannel> simplylezz: there's a few.  Also, linux "installs" programs differently, binaries go one place, config another, and so on
[04:32] <Pelo> Raptor45, i would investigate that route,  look up your card model in the forum for any posts that may help, also , ubuntu(gnome) as an option in men > system > admin > restricted drivers ,  see if you have similar in xubuntu and see if it finds any drivers you need to install
[04:32] <simplylezz> ah, ok
[04:32] <ubuntu> Striking7, sudo apt-get install irssi
[04:32] <newbie> Flannel: www-data : www-data ben
[04:33] <Cface> How do i use modprobe to find out what sound card i have?

[04:33] <newbie> Flannel: seems added
[04:33] <Flannel> newbie: yep.
[04:33] <shawn34> how can i associate irc:// links with firefox/xchat ?
[04:33] <Raptor45> Pelo, worked OK in feisty, but idk what driver it was using
[04:33] <Pelo> Raptor45,  you pick looks to me like the image is not being properly refreshed because of a lack of video memory
[04:33] <kevin__> simplylezz, its kinda different.. applications install into several dirs under /usr.. but i suppose /usr/share is probably the closest thing
[04:33] <Striking7> ubuntu: I'll private message you. It'll be easier than wading through all these messages.
[04:34] <Pelo> Raptor45, what are you using now ?
[04:34] <Raptor45> Pelo, I mean worked ok in ubuntu.... this is ONLY happening with certain programs though
[04:34] <Pelo> Raptor45,  I mean if you are not using fiesty ?
[04:34] <newbie> Flannel: thanks --
[04:34] <Pelo> ah
[04:34] <newbie> by the way, how to delete lines of records in history to make it clean, so that I can check history for later use -- not see so many lines of "exit" blu
[04:34] <Raptor45> Pelo, it is feisty, that was a typo
[04:34] <ubuntu> Striking7, im using irssi right now. how will i need to private message?

[04:34] <Pelo> Raptor45, that was my best shot, check the forum for your card model
[04:35] <Pelo> imbecile,  yes  try it
[04:35] <Striking7> ubuntu: Oh.  I don't know irssi at all: I just use GAIM to get on IRC
[04:35] <Raptor45> Pelo, dang... okay
[04:35] <elnimr> how can i use sudo for the GUI
[04:35] <Striking7> ubuntu: but that command worked for me fine.

[04:42] <killown> jrib I have going but I dont get modify object 2
[04:42] <jrib> killown: I don't understand
[04:43] <Pelo> imbecile,  paste your full menu.lst file to a pm window
[04:43] <Falstius> I'm trying to upgrade a machine to feisty and the gpg check is failing, if I try to manually check feisty.tar.gz I get "public key not found".  Where can I get the public key, is it specific to feisty?
[04:43] <killown> jrib object_1 corresponds
[04:43] <killown> but I dont found nothing to be modify
[04:43] <Falstius> this machine was dapper, updated to edgy through the update-manager.
[04:43] <Pelo> !upgrade | Falstius
[04:43] <ubotu> Falstius: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[04:44] <Pelo> Falstius, consider seting up your /home folder on a seperate partition and installig feisty from scratch,  upgrades never work well for me ( and I am not the only one)
[04:44] <Pelo> imbecile,  are you still around ?
[04:45] <dgux> Hi all, has anyone had problems with a slow wifi problem on feisty?
[04:45] <darklard> so if anyone knows a lot about sound for Feisty and is willing to help let me know I have gone through EVERYthing the bot can offer aswell as many other forums... I have downloaded and compiled to kernel the latest alsa drivers.
[04:45] <tarelerulz> Does Konqueror  have ftp
[04:46] <jrib> killown: are you using the main menu or the menu bar?
[04:46] <imbecile> Pelo:  yeah i was just using pastebin instead
[04:46] <Striking7> tarelerulz: yes, it does.
[04:46] <killown> jrib, menu bar
[04:46] <Pelo> imbecile, ok hold on
[04:46] <jrib> killown: k, I think gconf-editor method doesn't work then
[04:46] <Striking7> tarelerulz: type "ftp://username:password@ftp.server.com" into the address bar.
[04:46] <r2d4> Is there any way I can check how much bandwidth I used this month? Something like NetMeter or DUMeter? I need monthly, daily stats. Thanks.
[04:46] <Pelo> imbecile,  you are living up to your nick
[04:47] <killown> aaaaa
[04:47] <r2d4> I did check http://www.ubuntugeek.com/bandwidth-monitoring-tools-for-ubuntu-users.html
[04:47] <Pelo> imbecile,  move the splash image lines to just bellow the hidden menu ones

[04:48] <linuxacolyspe> hello
[04:48] <killown> thanks a lot
[04:48] <rtan> anybody has tried virtual machine on ubuntu?
[04:49] <Fezzler> When I change the group or permission for a folder nested three deep, (etc/sbm/usr1) do the permissions automatically extend through the first two folders?
[04:49] <rtan> what is the application for virtual machine in ubuntu?
[04:49] <Striking7> tarelerulz: should work great for that.
[04:49] <gortba> Hi. Can someone tell if it is possible to copy the whole root directory / and then paste it back in after reinstalling a system?
[04:49] <ablyss> rtan, i use vmware a lot
[04:49] <linuxacolyspe> rtan, a friend of mine at work has VMware running, kinda cool. :-)
[04:49] <CapaH> Hi all, I am trying to get StarCraft to run in Ubuntu under Wine. I have it running, but I cannot get it full screen -- just a 640x window --- any suggestions?
[04:49] <Pokit> is it possible to play flash in x64 ?
[04:49] <kevin__> rtan, i used virtualbox and it runs fine, but there is a problem with fullscreen and compiz(desktop effects)
[04:49] <dgux> Booting into windows my wifi is fast and works properly; in feisty wifi works but it's so slow that it can't be used.  has anyone else seen similar behavior?
[04:50] <jrib> bubux: because that's not a path...
[04:50] <tarelerulz> Strking7, In windows I have to make my ip static on my lan connection and I am wondering how to do that in linux?
[04:50] <rtan> kevin_: where did you get virtualbox? does it come with ubuntu distro?
[04:50] <jrib> bubux: create a shell script instead if you want
[04:50] <bubux> jrib: how can i create a symbolic link to php4 and automatically pass parameters to it?
[04:50] <Pokit> Is it possible to play embedded flash in a browser with 64-bit ubuntu?
[04:50] <darklard> pokit NO
[04:50] <Pokit> :/
[04:51] <darklard> yeah sucks
[04:51] <ablyss> vwmare how-to http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_vmware_server
[04:51] <jrib> Pokit: http://www.janvitus.netsons.org/2007/01/15/nspluginwrapper-adobe-flash-player/
[04:51] <kevin__> rtan, you can download a ubuntu deb from here: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
[04:51] <rtan> ablyss: can u use non linux os on vmware:
[04:51] <Pokit> jrdib, darklard, thx
[04:51] <Pokit> *jrib, thx
[04:51] <Falstius> Pelo: this machine is just a media terminal for the TV, there's nothing in the home directory aside from temp files.  But the problem was that I didn't have 'recommended updates' checked so the update-manager was an older version.  Thanks.
[04:51] <jrib> Pokit: (or compile nspluginwrapper yourself (or use a 32bit chroot (see wiki)))
[04:51] <gortba> Can someone tell if it is possible to copy the whole root directory / and then paste it back in after reinstalling a system?
[04:52] <bulmer> vmare supports windows as guest os
[04:52] <RAOF> gortba: Yes, that's possible.  But you won't be doing much of a reinstall, since *everything* is stored on /
[04:52] <bulmer> gortba it is possible, but not guaranteed to work afterwards
[04:52] <CpuID2> hey, is there a way i can have apt/synaptics revert a packages included config files to default? eg. if ive modified them manually and i wanna go back to the included defaults
[04:52] <Pelo> gortba, that would defeat the purpose of resintalling since it would overwrite all your nice new fresh files
[04:52] <ablyss> rtan, vmware supports a lot of todays OS's granted your cpu is supported.. cyrix chip sets aren't supported that great
[04:52] <rtan> kevin__: thanks , i am downloading it now.
[04:52] <CpuID2> cyrix is nasty :s
[04:53] <kevin__> rtan, np
[04:53] <gortba> Thanks RAOF and bulmer. Reason is because I want to move my whole operating system to a new hard drive
[04:53] <cheeseboy> how do i delete all mysql tables?
[04:53] <r2d4> Oh nevermind. I found that Netmeter works great on Wine. But would be nicer to have a native alternative.
[04:53] <shdowhawk> hey all.  Just wondering ... i did an apt-get on php5, apache 2.. and the libapache2-mod-php5 ... i restarted the apache2 server, rebooted etc... i can't get the php to render actual php.. it shows the <? phpinfo(); ?> text instead of dump.  Any ideas how to get by this?
[04:53] <ablyss> nasty huh , lol
[04:53] <joe4444> what's a good torrent client similar to uTorrent?
[04:53] <RAOF> gortba: Then just copy / to the new hard-drive..
[04:53] <CpuID2> shdowhawk, sounds like you need an AddType somewhere in your apache configs, not sure if thats added by default, it might
[04:53] <RAOF> gortba: And do the grub reinstal thingy (I'm not quite sure how).
[04:54] <jrib> !php > shdowhawk (see the private message from ubotu)
[04:54] <gortba> RAOF: There's no operating system on that hard drive right now.
[04:54] <bulmer> gortba: why not just install the os and have a separate partition for your data
[04:54] <progek> hey room, has anyone here created jar files manually? I'm trying to make a jar compatible with java5, being compiled in java6. (An executable jar)
[04:54] <kevin__> joe4444, azureus is ok, havent found anythin as good as uTorrent tho
[04:54] <rollerskatejamms> Can somebody explain to me why adding somebody to /etc/group doesn't have any effect?
[04:54] <RAOF> gortba: You can't plug the hard-drive in and copy across?
[04:54] <zkr> somebody knows how restart the dhcp connection in console mode?
[04:54] <joe4444> kevin__, so you think azureus is the best for linux?
[04:54] <psusi> rollerskatejamms: depends on what you mean by doesn't have any effect
[04:54] <bulmer> rollerskatejamms: what were you expecting to happen?
[04:54] <ablyss> rollerskatejamms, you might want to try adduser command
[04:55] <gortba> RAOF: If I just copy across then I'll have an exact copy--is that right?
[04:55] <kevin__> joe4444, yeah, i think so, KTorrent is ok too
[04:55] <CapaH> Anyone here know what to do in order to get StarCraft under wine to run full screen? I can get it to run but only as a 640x window
[04:55] <bulmer> zkr maybe you can do a ps -aux|grep dhcp  and  see how it got started and then type same on a console after stopping it first
[04:56] <shdowhawk> CpuID2: Ahh.. crap, i think i know where i went wrong.  I probably commented to many of the types out lol.  Good call, i forgot i did that.  thanks for the tip

[04:59] <ablyss> CapaH, that's sounds like a game issue.. might try #wine

[04:59] <vbabiy> linuxacolyspe: what do you mean
[04:59] <CapaH> ablyss: no such channel - or might as well not be (empty) :)
[04:59] <ablyss> ;p, okay
[04:59] <Falstius> vbabiy: that is the same as I have.  The only thing special I had to do was run nvidia-config to add a line to xorg.conf.  It is listed in the troubleshooting section of the wiki.  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BerylOnFeisty

[05:00] <linuxacolyspe> vbabiy: I have one of those gainward FX Powerpack deals, it wouldn't run Beryl
[05:00] <vbabiy> Falstius: i also am doing dual monitor should that mess anything up?
[05:00] <ablyss> yes tvtime works fine here
[05:00] <kevin__> vbabiy.. you'll probably need the restricted driver... u on feisty?
[05:00] <vbabiy> kevin__: yea and i have that installed
[05:00] <Falstius> vbabiy: beryl has some configuration options for dualies, but I don't have a second LCD to play with it :(
[05:00] <TeeO> when I go to launch it, it opens then immediately crashes
[05:00] <linuxacolyspe> Compiz runs on it though
[05:00] <kevin__> should run fine then
[05:01] <vbabiy> Falstius: i will give it a try and i will let you know how i turn out
[05:01] <ablyss> TeeO, open a Terminal and run it from there and see what the error is
[05:01] <Falstius> TeeO: I've run tvtime on feisty and edgy without problem.
[05:02] <nub> WINDOWS SUCK!] \\\

[05:02] <ubotu> For help debugging your program, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures
[05:02] <Pelo> Raptor45, go ahead
[05:02] <Lilacor> nub: I think you need to find out what chipset the usb adapter uses and then see if that is spported or not.
[05:02] <linuxacolyspe> Falstius: When I get some good vids I'll give it a try. ;-)
[05:03] <craigbass1976> The software that's listed in the games section of the add/remove applications menu is it, right?  Nothing is in the repost that is not on that list?

[05:04] <Pelo> Raptor45,  it sounds like a possible explanation,  it is also possible that those two cards have the same name because they are part ofthe same chipset from the same maker

[05:10] <jl> how can i do totem to work with x11 video output?
[05:10] <kuma_> ok, i'll look the file info throug konqueror since it looks like there's no linux command to do it
[05:11] <Pelo> Yo, a clean install is more reliable,
[05:11] <kschreyack> can anyone tell me how to install a specific version of wine?  I need 0.9.36
[05:11] <hendrixski> is it possible to save a webpage as a pdf from firefox?
[05:11] <Yo> Thanks.
[05:11] <pnorris> i installed ubuntu this afternoon and just wondering how to install themes that i have downloaded...any help?
[05:11] <hendrixski> because I have a tablet, and I can annotate PDF's
[05:11] <hendrixski> but I can't turn my webpages to pdfs
[05:12] <mobutu> hendrixski: I've never heard of such a thing, but you could figure out how to 'print to PDF'
[05:12] <hitmanWilly> hendrixski: i don't believe so, but you can save the html and transfer it over to pdf through open office iirc
[05:12] <Frogzoo> what's the low latency kernel? is this something that would make a lappie more responsive ?
[05:12] <mobutu> he could print to PDF
[05:12] <jrod> no body in this chanel has any idea about my wine issue?
[05:12] <Pelo> kschreyack,  downlowd the versions you want form the archive section in the ubuntu dload page in the winehq site,  and remove the 3rd party wine repos from synaptic
[05:12] <hendrixski> mobutu, when I print to file from firefox it prints to postscript, there is no pdf option
[05:12] <jrod> no one is in the winehq chanel
[05:12] <Yo> Well, I guess I'll see in about 20 min
[05:12] <mobutu> hendrixski: google for 'PRINT TO PDF' 'UBUNTU'
[05:12] <kevin__> hendrixski, its possible to inrstall a pdf printe
[05:12] <hitmanWilly> jrod: find the older src and compile it
[05:13] <kschreyack> Pelo, thanks - I'll check it out now
[05:13] <hendrixski> hitmanWilly, that's a lot of work :( there's no easier way?
[05:13] <jrod> will that resolve my fps issue?
[05:13] <khin> question, why when i search say for 'bash' in file system do i get no results
[05:13] <imbecile> Pelo:  said it was unable to load the image :( at least its detecting the fact that it should be their though
[05:13] <hendrixski> mobutu, I did... everything I got was some spyware for Internet explorer
[05:13] <imbecile> there*
[05:13] <hendrixski> kevin__, a pdf printer?  tell me more :)
[05:13] <kevin__> hendrixski: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/03/23/print-to-pdf-using-cups-pdf/
[05:14] <Pelo> imbecile, double check the path and try wiith another image, incase that one is corrupted
[05:14] <kevin__> try that
[05:14] <pnorris> anyone on themes?
[05:14] <santos> how can i use gdebi?
[05:14] <Frogzoo> hendrixski: install a pdf print driver
[05:14] <Pelo> pnorris,  ask a question we can answer
[05:14] <mobutu> hendrixski:  http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/03/23/print-to-pdf-using-cups-pdf/ http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2006/12/09/how-to-print-to-pdf-from-any-native-program-ubuntu-6061/ http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=07/05/03/1421232
[05:14] <neuro_> print to postscript, use ps2pdf to convert the ps file to pdf
[05:14] <hendrixski> kevin__,  that looks like it would do the trick
[05:14] <neuro_> ps2pdf is part of gs-common
[05:14] <pnorris> ok, how do you install themes?
[05:14] <hendaus> Pelo:  i have another question?
[05:14] <kevin__> hendrixski: or even better: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/03/23/print-to-pdf-using-cups-pdf/
[05:14] <Yo> Also, how hard is it to setup XGL/Compiz on FIesty? I know on SUSE it was built in. Could anyone point me to instructions for doing so?
[05:15] <hendrixski> mobutu, sweet. I'll try the wiki links too
[05:15] <CpuID2> so, anyone here know the best option to set a packages configs back to default?
[05:15] <kevin__> i meant http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=140815&highlight=printing+pdf
[05:15] <linuxacolyspe> You know, I hate to send youse guys running for your Kleenex boxes, but it is good to see an IRC channel that is Linux based not tearing out the newbie's hearts for not being born to UNIX.It's good to be human. :-)
[05:15] <hendrixski> thanks everyone :) I'll try that and see how it goes
[05:15] <Pelo> pnorris, download the tar.gz package you want from the site you want   like gnome-look.org and drag drop it on the theme manager dialog
[05:15] <hendaus> Pelo: i want to install edgy, coz i have dapper,can u help me please
[05:15] <greyfrog> CpuID2: dpkg-reconfigure ?
[05:15] <pnorris> k thanks i will try
[05:15] <neuro_> linuxacolyspe: i have no kleenex :(
[05:16] <linuxacolyspe> neuro: Use your sleeve. LOL :-)
[05:16] <Pelo> hendaus, we did all that for dapper ?   skip edgy go straight to fiesty,  dl it from the site or in torrent and butn it to cd
[05:16] <Yo> I only buy generic tissue;)
[05:16] <Pelo> !download | hendaus
[05:16] <ubotu> hendaus: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive
[05:16] <linuxacolyspe> Yo: Is it recycled? LOL
[05:16] <r3ivaj> oh
[05:16] <CpuID2> greyfrog, interesting, havent tried that
[05:17] <Yo> linuxacolyspe: Uh oh. I didn't think about...
[05:17] <pnorris> ok tried drag and drop and getting the error file format is invalid
[05:17] <mobutu> CpuID2: the scorched earth way would be to uninstall the package and purge all files related to it, with apt-get remove --purge packagename, then reinstalling the package
[05:17] <Bree> Pelo: I have Ubuntu installed. :D
[05:17] <Pelo> pnorris,  do not unpack the tar.gz file
[05:17] <Pelo> Bree,  congrats
[05:17] <linuxacolyspe> Yo: Just use your sleeve like the rest....whoops..
[05:17] <pnorris> i didnt its still packed
[05:17] <hendaus> Pelo:  edgy or fiesty, which one is better and tell me if both have devede program?
[05:17] <gregorovius> anyone knows how can I change which calculator opens when I press the calc button in my keyboard?
[05:17] <Bree> Yes, and I apparently.. Dont know how to do anyhting. Because I installed something and cant find it, Pelo. D:
[05:17] <Yo> LOL
[05:18] <Bree> Grub 21, Pelo
[05:18] <ablyss> hey guys I just bought a brand new Brother all in one laser printer.. and would you know Brother actually makes linux drivers :)
[05:18] <Bree> error.
[05:18] <linuxacolyspe> :-?
[05:18] <Bree> Thing.
[05:18] <Pelo> Bree, ah,  what did you install ?
[05:18] <Bree> Wine. D:
[05:18] <Frogzoo> linuxacolyspe: you think? I miss the flames, tbh
[05:18] <pnorris> pelo  im dropping the tar.gz packs into theme preferences right?
[05:18] <ablyss> got it shared too on the network w/ cups.. everyone even those less fortunate windows users can print
[05:18] <Pelo> hendaus,  both have devede in them but even if they didn't it's not hard to isntall
[05:18] <linuxacolyspe> FTF Frogzoo, they're depressing.
[05:19] <Pelo> pnorris,  more or less ,  are you sure it is a desktop theme package ? and not a login screen or something else ?
[05:19] <hendaus> Pelo:  so please tell me what can i do to begin installing fiesty
[05:19] <linuxacolyspe> gule gule linuturk. :-)
[05:19] <Pelo> hendaus,  start by downloading the cd and burning it
[05:19] <Pelo> !download | hendaus
[05:19] <ubotu> hendaus: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive
[05:19] <hendaus> Pelo:  but i am using kubuntu not ubuntu
[05:20] <Pelo> hendaus,  do you want to install kubuntu or ubuntu ?
[05:20] <hendaus> Pelo:  kubuntu?
[05:20] <Pelo> hendaus,  theck in the kubuntu site then
[05:20] <Pelo> check
[05:21] <Pelo> !tk | linuxacolyspe
[05:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about tk - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:21] <Pelo> !tr
[05:21] <ubotu> Turk ubuntu kullanicilari, turkce yardim yada geyik icin #ubuntu-tr hizmetinizde.
[05:21] <hendaus> Pelo:  ok let me first install automatix, can u tell me
[05:21] <linuxacolyspe> heh
[05:21] <Fezzler> Why is this returning "chgrp: invalid group `andyfs'....user@MYUBUNTU:/fls/home$ sudo chgrp andyfs /fls/andyfs chgrp: invalid group `andyfs'
[05:21] <lenny_original> somebody who can give me newby spanish support?
[05:21] <mobutu> Fezzler: what does 'grep andyfs /etc/group' say?
[05:21] <Pelo> hendaus,  you do not need automatix and I will not help you with that ,   and you are going to reinstall kubuntu anyway,  instaling new stuff now is pointless
[05:21] <psusi> !es
[05:21] <ubotu> Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[05:22] <lenny_original> thanks ;)
[05:22] <mobutu> hendaus: Automatix causes depleted uranium
[05:22] <pnorris> yes its a desktop theme from what i can tell (just installed ubuntu this afternoon
[05:22] <Pelo> mobutu, donT confuse him
[05:22] <kevin__> mobutu, what do you mean by that?
[05:23] <Pelo> pnorris,  where did you get it ?
[05:23] <hendaus> mobutu:  oh ic
[05:23] <mobutu> the joke is too meta for you
[05:23] <Fezzler> mobutu: just drops to command line.  Nothing
[05:23] <Pelo> pnorris,  give me the link to the page
[05:23] <cbs> ok, having a bit of trouble....ubuntu isnt mounting/seeing my ntfs drive, but all was fine untill it did an auto disk check on start, and now its not mounting....any thoughts?
[05:23] <hendaus> Pelo: ok lets install fiesty for kubuntu
[05:23] <mobutu> Fezzler: that command looks for 'andyfs' in your groups.  if there is no line with andyfs in /etc/group , you don't have a group named andyfs.  so that's why chgrp andyfs FILES doesn't work
[05:23] <pnorris> k one second
[05:24] <Pelo> hendaus, join me in #kubuntu
[05:24] <effie_jayx> !automatix luis
[05:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about automatix luis - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:24] <kevin__> im just wondering what's so bad about it?
[05:24] <effie_jayx> !automatix2
[05:24] <ubotu> 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
[05:24] <effie_jayx> !automatix2 luis
[05:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about automatix2 luis - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:24] <LadyNikon> !ssh
[05:24] <luis> OH!
[05:24] <ubotu> SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[05:24] <pnorris> pelo here is one of the ones i dl'ed    http://themes.freshmeat.net/projects/blaircastlestream/
[05:24] <Rebecca> hey, im curious as to the difference between ubuntu server and desktop.. is there a 'diff like' comparison?
[05:25] <kevin__> ok.. worked for me..
[05:25] <Frogzoo> meh, if you want to run automatix, fine, just try #automatix for support, not here
[05:25] <mobutu> Rebecca: you know how ubuntu has all the GNOME stuff and kubuntu has the KDE stuff?  ubuntu server has neither
[05:25] <Rebecca> mobutu: that's it?
[05:25] <Yo> !XGL
[05:25] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[05:25] <Madpilot> Rebecca, -server has no graphical interface, just the command line
[05:25] <x_or> I cannot get sound to work.  This started when I switched from KDE to Gnome.  I have definitely unmuted the PCM and Master.  I have the volume levels up.  I am running mplayer and I killed esd to make sure it unlocks the sound card.  I am stumped.
[05:25] <finer> is there a config file for the built in desktop effects in feisty?
[05:26] <jeeves__> can someone give me a hand with this P100 laptop with no sound.
[05:26] <cbs> how would I go about mounting my sata ntfs hard drive in ubuntu?
[05:26] <Rebecca> is the lack of GUI the only difference?
[05:26] <Fezzler> mobutu:  I created the file structure /srv/smbhome/andyfs  and the the book says set group own/permission with chgrp andyfs /srv/smbhome/andyfs??
[05:26] <kevin__> cbs: read only or read write?
[05:26] <cbs> read only is fine,. i know hwo to enable write
[05:26] <cbs> i just cant find it
[05:26] <jeeves__> Rebecca:  I'm guessing you're asking the difference between a GUI (X-Server) and shell is that one is just a GUI and the other is text?
[05:27] <kevin__> is should show up in nautilus under computer:///
[05:27] <Rebecca> jeeves__: no, im well versed in CLI
[05:27] <Fezzler> mobutu: to be followed by chmod 770 and then chmod g+s
[05:27] <rogerio> Hi.
[05:27] <Madpilot> Rebecca, I gather that the server kernel has a few differences, but the lack of gui is the main diff
[05:27] <jeeves__> Rebecca:  ok, I wasn't't sure what you were asking.
[05:27] <mobutu> Rebecca: if you want a detailed list, you should find the package list that makes up the meta package 'ubuntu-desktop' or the package list that makes up the meta package 'kubuntu-desktop', and.... that stuff wont be in ubuntu server
[05:27] <Pelo> pnorris,  I just had a look , it's not a theme it,s just a wallpaper,  unpack it , put it somewhere convinient , and open it with the wall paper manager
[05:27] <imbecile> Pelo:  I found my problem, how do i save a download to /boot/grub?
[05:28] <cbs> kevin: its not there
[05:28] <Rebecca> okay
[05:28] <frederick85> does anyone know a good game that is worth getting
[05:28] <mobutu> Fezzler: what does 'groups andyfs' say ?
[05:28] <kevin__> hmm..internal hard drive?
[05:28] <Pelo> imbecile,  you don'T you download it to yoru desktop and ten you move it
[05:28] <cbs> yes
[05:28] <Fezzler> mobutu: do I create the valid accounts first?
[05:28] <cbs> it was there and fine untill ubuntu did a scandisk on boot one day
[05:28] <pnorris> pelo ok when dl themes like on the site you gave me before what do i look for.....sorry i am new to this
[05:28] <Fezzler> mobutu: no such user
[05:28] <kevin__> random.. em, is it in you /etc/fstab?
[05:29] <mobutu> Fezzler: i have no idea what you are doing, but usually when you create a user, like with adduser andyfs , a user name andyfs is created, AND a group named andyfs is created
[05:29] <cbs> 1sec
[05:29] <mobutu> Fezzler: changing the ownership of a file to a user that doesn't exist or changing the group of a file to a group that doesn't exist, does not make sense
[05:29] <Pelo> pnorris, look for what ever you want,  that one is just borked, they are not all like that
[05:29] <mobutu> frederick85: Katamari Damacy
[05:29] <cbs> kevin: ya its in there
[05:30] <Frogzoo> anyone know about the low latency kernel ?
[05:30] <kevin__> whats the entry for it?
[05:30] <Nergar> can someone help me troubleshoot ssh??
[05:30] <Nergar> i can't connect
[05:30] <pnorris> pelo so things like gdm themes or xmms themes are ok
[05:30] <imbecile> Pelo:  can i drag it there using file browser to show the folder?
[05:30] <Fezzler> Mobuntu: I am trying to create server file for 6 users.  I created the folders in the structure /srv/smbhome/andyfs
[05:31] <n0n4m3> Nergar what seems to be the problem? sshd running? netstat -ltp? iptables?
[05:31] <Pelo> imbecile,  gksu nautilus /boot/grub
[05:31] <nub> i am about to kick the shit out of this comuter
[05:31] <cbs> !pastebin
[05:31] <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)
[05:31] <Fezzler> Mobuntu: So what I hear you saying before I can use chgrp or chmod I have to establish the users
[05:31] <Nergar> n0n4m3, how do i start the ssh daemon on the "server"??
[05:32] <blackjackel> Is there a way I can set Ubuntu to automatically login when I start my computer so that I don't have to enter my username and password everytime?
[05:32] <n0n4m3> Nergar ugm... /etc/init.d/sshd start or something like that... but i belive it should be already running
[05:32] <cbs> kevin: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21789/
[05:32] <cbs> theres my whole fstab, pretty short
[05:32] <mobutu> Fezzler: that is great.  you need to make sure the user or group of the users exists.  did you create them already ?
[05:32] <Alan_> I can use modinfo to see some information on a kernel module, but is there something else to see the version of the module?
[05:32] <Nergar> n0n4m3, yesterday I did a sudo aptitude install ssh-server and i was able to connect, i turned it on today and now i can't
[05:32] <mobutu> Fezzler: yes. changing the ownership of a file, to a user that does not exist yet, does not make sense
[05:33] <kevin__> cbs: did you try "sudo mount /mnt/sdb1"?
[05:33] <nub> what wifi card should i buy????>
[05:34] <Pelo> nub, did you check the hardware info page ?
[05:34] <jeeves__> so, does anyone know how to fix this sound issue?
[05:34] <AngryMax> Hey, anyone know how to install off the LiveCD without actually running full ubuntu from the CD?
[05:34] <mobutu> Alan_: what does that mean.  if you compile a module, under your version of the kernel.... then you're running a module tied to that kernel version.
[05:34] <kevin__> cbs: sorry i meant sda1
[05:34] <Fezzler> mobutu: I guess not.  Book I'm using is not clear.  So I have  a new HD installed and mounted as folder (/srv) and created the folder structure
[05:34] <Pelo> !sound | jeeves__
[05:34] <ubotu> jeeves__: 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
[05:34] <CapaH> Does anyone here play StarCraft under Ubuntu? I am running into a whole host of problems --- anyone?
[05:34] <tonyyarusso> nub: I have an Intel PRO/Wireless 2915 a/b/g (internal) which has worked flawlessly since Hoary.  I'd highly recommend Intel stuff driver-wise.
[05:34] <Fezzler> mobutu: I guess I'm going about this backwards
[05:35] <Pelo> AngryMax,   the point of the live cd is to run a full ubuntu,  if you dont, like it try the alternate isntall cd
[05:35] <mobutu> Fezzler: you wouldn't email someone unless you knew what their email address was.  almost the same thing
[05:35] <imbecile> Pelo:  I d/led to desktop ran gksu nautilus /boot/grub then tried to drag the file from desktop to /boot/grub but its still not dragging over
[05:35] <Fezzler> Mobutu: I set up the WORKGROUP and Netbios (MYUBUNTU)
[05:35] <Alan_> mobutu:  Ok.. but it's a kernel not compiled by myself and trying to determine the level of a module that I didn't install
[05:35] <jeeves__> pelo:  ok, thanks.  I think I've tried it before.  And if I remember corectly, it didn't work
[05:35] <AngryMax> Pelo: it's just that the LiveCD takes forever to load
[05:35] <needs2repart> Hello
[05:35] <Pelo> CapaH,  check the forum
[05:35] <Madpilot> blackjackel, yes. System->Admin->Login Window, tick the Automatic Login box
[05:35] <mobutu> Fezzler: that sounds like Samba
[05:35] <Pelo> imbecile,  sudo mv source  target
[05:35] <cbs> kevin: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21790/
[05:35] <Fezzler> Motubu: Can I keep the file structure and set up the users now?
[05:35] <nub> thats for laptops??
[05:35] <CapaH> Pelo: I have, and I have not solved my problems :)
[05:36] <Pelo> jeeves__,  check the forum
[05:36] <Fezzler> Mobutu: YEs, samba set up
[05:36] <Alan_> mobutu: The folks who do the zd1211 kernel driver have several versions not tied to a specific kernel it seems
[05:36] <jeeves__> pelo:  thanks.  checking
[05:36] <kevin__> imbecile, just open a terminal and type "cp ~/Desktop/whatever.xpm.gz /boot/grub"
[05:36] <mobutu> Fezzler: if you have a user mary and you created a directory /files/mary/ and you want to make it so mary can edit those files , first  you make the use mary, then you chown/chgrp like you were going to
[05:36] <matiu> How do I play .jar's in ubuntu/
[05:36] <cbs> LOL @ imbecile...I thought you were all talking trash
[05:36] <ThePioneer> Does anybody know anything about rss feeds
[05:37] <mobutu> Fezzler: though how will mary know where that rirectory is, is another question
[05:37] <needs2repart> hello???
[05:37] <cbs> kevin: going to boot win and shut it back down
[05:37] <cbs> kevin: brb
[05:37] <tonyyarusso> ThePioneer: a tiny bit - come on over to #ubuntu-offtopic for that though
[05:37] <n0n4m3> Nergar umm.. is it possible server was somehow halted? power shortage? hardware problem?
[05:37] <needs2repart> is this part of the freenode network???
[05:37] <kevin__> cbs: cool..
[05:37] <tonyyarusso> needs2repart: yes
[05:37] <mobutu> Alan_: I have no idea.  poke around in /lib/modules ?
[05:37] <Pelo> needs2repart,  yes
[05:37] <blackjackel> Madpilot, thanks :)
[05:37] <Madpilot> needs2repart, yes
[05:37] <needs2repart> ok, thanks
[05:37] <n0n4m3> Nergar try pinging the server or try some other service, if it's available
[05:37] <imbecile> cbs:  heheh that always happens..
[05:38] <Fezzler> Motubu: I'll map mary to in when I'm done.  So when she is on the iMac upstairs or Vista in home office, I'll map a drive to here serve space
[05:38] <Madpilot> blackjackel, had to go looking for it, I used to use autologin but stopped when I got roommates again - not that I don't trust them, but...
[05:38] <Jinchurei> what's the command to mount /dev/hda1 as a read-writable drive?
[05:38] <ThePioneer> tonyy: could you give me a little insight?? how to get started, where to look, programs? - For Ubuntu 7
[05:38] <jrib> Jinchurei: what filesystem?
[05:38] <Nergar> n0n4m3, i can vnc without problems
[05:38] <blackjackel> Madpilot, but roomates will be roomates, gotcha ;)
[05:38] <Zelda> hello. I just changed my themes, and background. When I boot up, I still have the brown Ubuntu logos, and I see a brown background before I get my blue. How do I change that so I dont have the flash of the background, and the little ubuntu bootup logo thats brown. I think its called the Nautilis
[05:38] <kevin__> imbevile, put a sudo before that
[05:38] <Jinchurei> jrib - I think ext3.  I could be wrong.  Where can i check?
[05:38] <jrib> Jinchurei: gparted
[05:39] <chdragonfly> my sda1 (the windows parition) disappeared from desktop, how can i get it to appear again?
[05:39] <mobutu> Fezzler: unless something has changed in ubuntu or something magical has happened that i am unaware of, you are going to have to add the users to smbpasswd
[05:39] <Madpilot> blackjackel, besides, they're all Windows users, the mere sight of a brown Ubuntu-logo'd login screen will scare them out of the room again :)
[05:39] <needs2repart> Can i move an entire partition to the different part of the harddrive_
[05:39] <needs2repart> ?
[05:39] <mobutu> Fezzler: so they can mount the files over the network, from the iMac
[05:39] <n0n4m3> Nergar if you have vnc.. then just check if sshd is running in a terminal window ( "ps ax|grep sshd" or something like "netstat -ltn | grep 22" ...)
[05:39] <mobutu> Fezzler: you should look for information on smbpasswd
[05:39] <tonyyarusso> ThePioneer: For readers you mean?  Liferea for standalone, the Sage extension for Firefox, or the RSS feature of Thunderbird are my choices - all available in the repos.
[05:39] <Pelo> Zelda,  you can change the brown background somewhere in   menu > system > admin > login screen ,  I don't knwoeher eou change the splash
[05:39] <Pelo> I donT' know where you change the splash
[05:39] <mobutu> Fezzler: you'll probably have to 'smbpasswd -a mary' to create the user mary in the samba usename/password file
[05:40] <ThePioneer> I'd like to get started on creating and podcasting my own rss feeds
[05:40] <Zelda> does anyone?
[05:40] <Zelda> !usplash
[05:40] <ubotu> To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork
[05:40] <Frogzoo> Zelda: change the default background to black
[05:40] <blackjackel> Madpilot, hey, I'm a windows user, and that dosen't scare me much :) Though I dont think I'll be using ubuntu for long if I cant figure out how to get better or AT LEAST the same framerates in videogames as in windows....
[05:40] <Madpilot> blackjackel, what vidcard make/model?
[05:41] <Fezzler> mobutu: Thanks, I'm doing this backward, I need to do smbpasswd before file structure/permissions
[05:41] <mobutu> Fezzler: maybe there is a Samba GUI somewhere that works, I don't know.  insane samba configuration is one of the reasons Windows is easier to use than ubuntu sometimes
[05:41] <blackjackel> Madkiss, ATI 9800 PRO All in Wonder, using restricted drivers (tried non restricted, they perform even worse)
[05:41] <Fezzler> mobutu: Yea, but easier isn't fun or you don't learn anything :)
[05:41] <Jinchurei> jrib - gparted mounted it but its still read only
[05:41] <jrib> Jinchurei: what is the filesystem
[05:41] <mobutu> ThePioneer: I don't think that's an ubuntu thing.  more like a 'how do i make a website' thing.  I like to use drupal for that stuff.
[05:42] <Jinchurei> jrib ext3
[05:42] <ThePioneer> Ahh
[05:42] <Bigcheese> Whenever I try to run the "patch" command from the command line, the command line just freezes doing nothing. running Ubuntu 7.0.4 desktop almost out of box.
[05:42] <mobutu> Fezzler: I have spent a lot of time configuring Samba instead of going out in the sun.  I wish I had gone out in the sun instead
[05:42] <blackjackel> Madkiss, sorry, that was directed at Madpilot
[05:42] <ThePioneer> I see said the blind man
[05:42] <hendrixski> the pdf thing only makes pdfs when you don't click "print to file" otherwise it's postscript
[05:42] <hendrixski> now I know
[05:42] <blackjackel> Madpilot,  ATI 9800 PRO All in Wonder, using restricted drivers (tried non restricted, they perform even worse)
[05:42] <hendrixski> thanks again
[05:42] <mobutu> Bigcheese: are you trying to patch something with a diff ?
[05:42] <kevin__> mobutu: speaking of which, there should be a "save package state" "rollback" on linux, thats the reason automatix is so dangerous imho
[05:42] <Bigcheese> yes
[05:42] <Pelo> one of my highschool /college buddies got elected to the nationnal assembly
[05:42] <tonyyarusso> which country Pelo ?
[05:43] <Aresilek> Can i move an entire partition to the different part of the harddrive?
[05:43] <Bigcheese> ohhh
[05:43] <Pelo> tonyyarusso,  provincial legislature in quebec,   country  is canada
[05:43] <Bigcheese> i get it
[05:43] <Madpilot> blackjackel, I've got an ATI 9600XT 256MB card, using the non-free fglrx, and I get good framerates in most games - Tremulous maxs out, ET does fine. I don't really play anything newer than them (Quake3-engine on both)
[05:43] <Zelda> fogzoo: great idea. How do i do that?
[05:43] <Bigcheese> :P, i forgot the < diffile
[05:43] <emun> help, want to learn to install SAMBA and use it, where can I get info
[05:43] <Punkunity> !freeze
[05:43] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about freeze - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:43] <Jordan_U> Aresilek, Yes, using gparted from a liveCD
[05:43] <Punkunity> !bug

[05:43] <tonyyarusso> Pelo: ah.  (You should join us in #ubuntu-ca sometime)
[05:44] <Frogzoo> Aresilek: cpio is best for that
[05:44] <Jordan_U> !samba > emum
[05:44] <blind> ThePioneer: eh? :P
[05:44] <Pelo> tonyyarusso,  is thers such a chanel ? I didn't know
[05:44] <Punkunity> feisty keeps freezing on me, and i have to do a hard reztart of the computer
[05:44] <Aresilek> whats cpio
[05:44] <tonyyarusso> Pelo: of course!
[05:44] <Aresilek> ?
[05:44] <blackjackel> Madpilot, I'm trying to run Half-life at a decent frame rate and resolution, and i'm not doing veyr good...
[05:44] <Zelda> Fogzoo: You still here?
[05:44] <mobutu> Bigcheese: so you 'patch -p1 < PATCHFILENAME' ?
[05:44] <Aresilek> ok first things first how do i change the keyboard layout to a latin keyboard in kubuntu?
[05:44] <jrib> !mount > Jinchurei (see the private message from ubotu)
[05:44] <Frogzoo> Aresilek: man cpio
[05:45] <blackjackel> Madpilot, I'm trying to run non native games
[05:45] <Madpilot> blackjackel, is HalfLife native, or run thru wine/cedega/etc?
[05:45] <jrib> !fstab > Jinchurei (see the private message from ubotu)
[05:45] <Jordan_U> Aresilek, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg I think
[05:45] <Zelda> !background
[05:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about background - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:45] <Fezzler> Mobutu: you just described my day
[05:45] <blackjackel> Madpilot, run through wine...
[05:45] <jrib> Jinchurei: basically, you create a mount point: sudo mkdir /media/some_mount_point .  Then you setup your fstab.  For permissions, you use chown/chmod as usual
[05:45] <blind> Zelda: what are you trying to do?
[05:45] <jeeves__> pelo:  any other ideas?  those links didn't work
[05:45] <Madpilot> blackjackel, ah. then the problem is wine. Never used it (never needed it) but I've heard some 3d games just don't do well...
[05:46] <Bigcheese> mobutu: it's fixed, it was stupid and forgot the input file :P
[05:46] <Pelo> jeeves__,  aside from a stupid joke I am out of suggestions
[05:46] <blind> blackjackel: check the appdb at http://appdb.winehq.com  -- it's possible others are experiencing the same problem and there's a work-around posted.
[05:46] <jeeves__> pelo:  lol, ok, thnaks
[05:46] <blackjackel> Madpilot, Half-Life is NOT one of those games that don't do well... it SHOULD run GREAT, but it dosen't  :(
[05:46] <Fezzler> Motubu:  Thanks, this book is a few verisons behind samba 3 and I think it didn't articulate the instructions right
[05:47] <Zelda> Blind: change the default background. I think I have it though. I will know once i restart
[05:47] <blind> O_o
[05:47] <blind> k.
[05:47] <Jordan_U> blackgraz, What graphics card do you have? ( it may be a driver issue )
[05:47] <Pelo> jeeves__,  ask periodicaly, different ppl have different skills, I'm no good with hardware issues
[05:47] <Fezzler> Motubu: in this example then, "chgrp boss1 /export/boss1" the author has named the user AND his folder "boss1"?
[05:47] <emun> Jordan_U, thanks do i type that in a terminal
[05:47] <Zelda> how do i change the color of the Nautilis
[05:47] <Zelda> ?
[05:47] <blind> blackgraz?
[05:48] <jeeves__> pelo: what are you good @ fixing then
[05:48] <blind> Zelda: which colors? have you tried different themes?
[05:48] <blackjackel> Jordan_U, its a 9800 PRO all in wonder
[05:48] <Pelo> jeeves__,  minor software stuff
[05:48] <Fezzler> Mobutu:  It could be different?  As in chgrp Andrea /srv/smbhome/andyfs
[05:48] <Jordan_U> emun, Type what in the terminal?
[05:48] <Zelda> yeah. Im using blubuntu theme.
[05:48] <Pelo> jeeves__,  general newbie orientation
[05:48] <jeeves__> pelo:  ok.
[05:48] <blind> Zelda: which colors do you want to change?
[05:48] <Fezzler> Mobutu: Assuming you have Andrea set up with smbpasswd?
[05:49] <mobutu> Fezzler: i don't know the names of your users.  if you created the users, on your box, with 'adduser', there will be a Andrea user an a Andrew group
[05:49] <Pelo> jeeves__,  all the ppl here are just users like you , with various degrees of experience, we help anyway we can
[05:49] <Zelda> the brown gnome theme to blue. You know that brown boot up image you see when you are loading all the programs
[05:49] <Jordan_U> blackgraz, Are you using fglrx? ( gflrx is horrible but can be better than the reverse engineered drivers )
[05:49] <mobutu> Fezzler: but it gets better, unless you are doing non trivial things with pam and stuff i am too tired to explain, the users you make with 'adduser' and the samba users are two different things
[05:49] <null> how can i abort a shutdown now?
[05:50] <mobutu> null: "ps -elf | grep shutdown" , find the process id of the shutdown process, kill that process id
[05:50] <blind> Zelda: ohhhhhhhhhhh.. i don't know how to change that, but i do know where the image file is if you'd like to change it manually.
[05:50] <Fezzler> mobutu: Got it.  Thanks.  You've been a big help.  I got it.  Its all about smb.conf
[05:50] <jeeves__> pelo:  ok, thanks again for your help
[05:50] <Zelda> This: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/StickDapper_modified_blubuntu?content=53886
[05:50] <Fezzler> mobuntu:  good night
[05:50] <chdragonfly> my sd1 (windows partition) does not show up on desktop....how to get it show up ? help??
[05:50] <msingh> the ubuntu cds that are mailed - are they (copies of) the same cd?
[05:50] <blind> Zelda: oh, you just have to swap out the png?
[05:50] <Pelo> Zelda,  you can change the background colour in  mene > system > admin > login screen ,  just below the list of loggin screens
[05:51] <Zelda> Blind: IM trying to get that tp the defualt
[05:51] <emun> Jordan_U , what is ! samba
[05:51] <Jordan_U> chdragonfly, Is it NTFS?
[05:51] <Zelda> er default
[05:51] <chdragonfly> jordan_U:yes
[05:51] <blind> Zelda: all you have to do is swap out the image files.
[05:51] <Jordan_U> !ntfs-3g | chdragonfly
[05:51] <ubotu> chdragonfly: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[05:51] <blackjackel> Jordan_U, you're calling me blackgraz, i'm blackjackel
[05:51] <Zelda> Blind: How do I do that?
[05:51] <Zelda> rename it to that?
[05:51] <blackjackel> Jordan_U, yes I'm using fglrx
[05:51] <blind> Zelda: how linux savvy are you?
[05:51] <chdragonfly> jordan_u: i tried that, and i keep getting the errror T_Tthat says part of the disk is not clean or something
[05:51] <Jordan_U> emun, That was a message to the channel bot, you should have gotten a msg from ubotu about samba
[05:52] <blind> Zelda: mind if I PM you?
[05:52] <Zelda> Blind: Ive probably had Ubuntu installed 6months
[05:52] <Zelda> Blind go ahead
[05:52] <Jordan_U> chdragonfly, You need to run checkdisk from a windows machine
[05:52] <UbuntuNoob> HELP! I've spent the best part of the day trying to (repeatedly) install Ubuntu 7.04 Server ISO CD. It 'seemed' to be going well and finally tried to start up. Got to the text: Running local boot scripts... (/etc/rc.local) [OK]   and then stopped! I can hit <return> and then get a prompt!     I don't know what to do!  Please! any suggestions?!?! I dont want to keep getting the same results!
[05:52] <chdragonfly> jordan_U:my windows won't boot T_T
[05:53] <Jordan_U> chdragonfly, Ahh, I remember now
[05:53] <Pelo> g'night folks
[05:53] <vikzx86> HELP. I was installing additional fonts with automatix when my system abruptly rebooted due to power failure. Now the desktop doesnt load and x windows in not properly configured..
[05:53] <Jordan_U> !automatix | vikzx86
[05:53] <ubotu> vikzx86: 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
[05:54] <Jordan_U> vikzx86, Do you get a terminal prompt?
[05:54] <Nergar> n0n4m3, 10429 pts/0   R+ 0:00 grep sshd
[05:54] <chdragonfly> jordan_U:im i seriously doomed ? T_T, will re-installing grub or re-installing ubuntu help?
[05:54] <vikzx86> Jordan_U, Yes i got and it tired to diagnose and show some detailed output
[05:54] <Jordan_U> chdragonfly, Nope, it's a problem with windows, and only windows can fix it :(
[05:54] <mobutu> vikzx86: you could somehow figure out what package this mysterious 'extra fonts' thing was from automatix, and remove it with apt-get remove --purge packagename
[05:55] <blackjackel> my fglrxinfo output shows: OpenGL version string: 2.0.6334 (8.34.8)
[05:55] <blackjackel> , does this mean im using an old version of the driver?
[05:55] <chdragonfly> jordan_U:if i use the xp installation cd, how do i do that?
[05:55] <Jordan_U> vikzx86, Go to the terminal by pressing ctrl+alt+F1 then run this command: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh
[05:55] <vikzx86> mobutu, I cant get Ubuntu to boot properly, there is a x windows error..
[05:56] <msingh> the cds seem identical.. there is no label to distinguish between them
[05:56] <n0n4m3> Nergar sshd isn't running.. i wouldn't know why it died... try starting it manually: /etc/init.d/sshd start
[05:56] <n0n4m3> Nergar or something like that
[05:56] <mobutu> vikzx86: look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[05:56] <n0n4m3> Nergar or even: sudo /etc/init.d/sshd start
[05:56] <Nergar> n0n4m3, ok
[05:56] <ubos> hay anyone have opera?
[05:56] <ThePioneer> Now that I have ubuntu, can anyone tell me what I can do with it.. what to get into to?
[05:56] <Xenguy> /etc/init.d/ssh
[05:56] <Jordan_U> chdragonfly, I am not good with windows but there should be a recovery mode where you can get to a dos prompt and run chdisk ( I think that is the command ) you may get better help in #windows
[05:56] <ubos> the browser
[05:56] <n0n4m3> Xenguy my bad :)
[05:57] <Gerro> ThePioneer: what do you like to do with a computer?
[05:57] <wir3> is there a way to give the give control panel an theme?
[05:57] <n0n4m3> Nergar /etc/init.d/ssh start
[05:57] <blackjackel> how do I find out my kernel version anyone know?
[05:57] <Xenguy> uname -a
[05:57] <n0n4m3> blackjackel uname -r
[05:57] <ThePioneer> I'm not really sure....
[05:57] <ThePioneer> Networking
[05:57] <kevin__> vikzx86: what video card do you have? you can probably change xorg.conf to use vesa for a "safe mode" to fix your problem
[05:57] <mobutu> ThePioneer: look at terrible youtube URLs in Firefox
[05:58] <ThePioneer> Something that doesn't cost any money
[05:58] <wir3> is there an way to give panel an theme or change how it looks?
[05:58] <Jordan_U> vikzx86, Go to the terminal by pressing ctrl+alt+F1 then run this command: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh
[05:58] <chdragonfly> Jordan_u: thanks for the help, my sda1 and sda2 both disappeared from the desktop now....how can i just get it to appear on the desktop again? or is that due to my other problems?
[05:58] <ThePioneer> Mobutu: what do you mean?
[05:58] <Jordan_U> chdragonfly, That is due to the problems with the NTFS partitions
[05:58] <ThePioneer> Is there a way I can wget movies from Youtube?
[05:58] <vikzx86> kevin__, I have Intel 945 Mobo with Intel GMA 950
[05:58] <Gerro> ThePioneer: might want to install totem and grab all the gstreamer codec packages, grab adobe flash and sun java to install for browser, get direct rendering going for your graphics card..
[05:59] <emun> Jordan_U, i did not get get any message from bot concerning SAMBA i am confused
[05:59] <kd5owo> can anyone help with Ubuntu 6.06 and bluetooth?
[05:59] <pedro_> what folder do i place new fonts into for them to work?
[05:59] <mobutu> ThePioneer: i dont think you're in the right channel.
[05:59] <Xenguy> ThePioneer: clive works (and can convert to other non-proprietary formats also)
[05:59] <vikzx86> Jordan_U, Thanks i will try and be back..
[05:59] <Jordan_U> ThePioneer, You can visit the site in the browser then grab the .flv from /tmp
[05:59] <kd5owo> The system sees the bluetooth adapter but my phone doesn't see my computer and my computer doesn't see my phone.
[05:59] <blackjackel> AHA! I MIGHT have found my problem! uname -r shows I'm running kernel verison 2.6.20 and fgrlxinfo shows i'm running driver version (8.34.8) and a look at the ati website shows the latest version supports my kernel 2.6.20. (which I am not running)... Is this my problem? or would it not work at all if it wasnt?
[05:59] <mobutu> Jordan_U: there's a bookmarklet that lets you save video from youtube
[06:00] <Nergar> n0n4m3, bad configuration file
[06:00] <Nergar> fixed it
[06:00] <msingh> no one knows?
[06:00] <ThePioneer> I need a bluetooth stack for my vx8300?
[06:00] <CyberMadz> what is lightest ubuntu version? i tried xubuntu, but it still slow
[06:00] <Xenguy> CyberMadz: fluxbox ?
[06:00] <Gerro> blackjackel: ati sucks, try mesa
[06:00] <blackjackel> Is there an easy console command to update my ATI drivers to the latest version?
[06:01] <ThePioneer> Jordan_U: what is the .flv ?
[06:01] <emun> help where can i learn about samba
[06:01] <blackjackel> Gerro: I used the non flrgx driver, and it sucked pretty damn bad
[06:01] <CyberMadz> Xenguy is that good?
[06:01] <Jordan_U> CyberMadz, You can install from the minimal install CD and use fluxbox, but it is not as user friendly
[06:01] <Gerro> blackjackel: no grab the ati linux installer from their site and hope it works, its very buggy
[06:01] <Nergar> CyberMadz, fuxbuntu i think, not official
[06:01] <mobutu> CyberMadz: there's nothing stopping you from using a different window manager like blackbox ( i think the name is different now?) ratpoison twm ctwm tvtwm
[06:01] <kevin__> blackjackel, have u trued envy?
[06:01] <mobutu> did blackbox change their name
[06:01] <Xenguy> CyberMadz: very light-weight, and has a lot of fans
[06:01] <Jordan_U> ThePioneer, That is the actual video
[06:01] <blackjackel> kevin__: Yes, I have it... haven't run it yet though...
[06:01] <Gerro> kevin__: that thing so does not work :P
[06:02] <Xenguy> CyberMadz: I don't use it myself, so that's about all I know reliably
[06:02] <Nergar> CyberMadz, fluxbuntu or fluxubuntu something like that
[06:02] <kd5owo> The bluetooth adapter is a KY-B100 and the phone is a Razr v3r
[06:02] <crossout> Hi im trying to reinstall ubuntu is there a way to do it with out formating the HD, it cant seem to find an option to just install it
[06:02] <kevin__> blackjackel, worked on edgy for me, but im on feisty now, and i haven't tried it
[06:02] <CyberMadz> thanks for your answer :)
[06:02] <Gerro> kd5owo: you installed the bluez tools right?
[06:02] <blackjackel> kevin__, running it as we speak, hopefully it will update to the latest version
[06:03] <ThePioneer> so something like wget http://youtube.com/spiderman3.flv ??
[06:03] <kd5owo> Gerro: Yes
[06:03] <emun> where can i learn about SAMBA
[06:03] <Lilacor> emun: at your local bookstore
[06:03] <Jordan_U> crossout, No, there is no way to install Ubuntu without reformatting ( you can get the same effect by putting /home on a seperate partition though to make it easier in the future )
[06:03] <kd5owo> Gerro: bluez-utils and gnome-bluetooth
[06:03] <Lilacor> emun: or you might be able to find something through HOWTO SAMBA
[06:04] <Jordan_U> !samba | emun
[06:04] <ubotu> emun: 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
[06:04] <ThePioneer> emun: try join #Samba
[06:04] <CyberMadz> so what is the plus and minus between xubuntu, fluxbuntu, ubuntu?
[06:04] <Gerro> kd5owo: well I think I might have bluetooth on my laptop but never bothered with it.. can't really help sorry
[06:04] <crossout> ah ok, then I'll go ahead and copy my files
[06:04] <ThePioneer> What is Samba?
[06:05] <tonyyarusso> !samba | ThePioneer
[06:05] <emun> Lilacor , which book at the bookstore
[06:05] <ubotu> ThePioneer: 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
[06:05] <ThePioneer> Haha
[06:05] <Nergar> how do i install LAMP in ubuntu desktop?
[06:05] <diaruemnus> sudo apt-get install apache2 php5-mysql libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server
[06:05] <Nergar> manually?
[06:05] <Nergar> lol
[06:05] <kevin__> CyberMadz: tradeoff between usability and memory consumption in my opinion
[06:05] <Nergar> ok thnks
[06:05] <pedro_> how do i install truetype fonts?
[06:05] <ThePioneer> Windows environments such as?
[06:06] <Gerro> pedro_: open up synaptic and search for it
[06:06] <diaruemnus> true type fonts are available in the repositories
[06:06] <Jordan_U> ThePioneer, A windows file server
[06:06] <blackjackel> There, apparently I'm running the latest ATI drivers, but how do I get to the ATI control panel?
[06:06] <pedro_> how do i install one that i downloaded manually?
[06:07] <CyberMadz> kevin__ ok.. so why people use ubuntu, if there is lightest version like fluxbuntu?
[06:07] <doll_know_love> who can help me use 4VNMod.exe
[06:07] <Jordan_U> pedro_, they are in the package msttcorefonts sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
[06:07] <Gerro> pedro_: don't bother its easier using synaptic
[06:07] <Steil>  http://pastebin.ca/499536 <-- any ideas?
[06:07] <kevin__> CyberMadz: probably cause it's better supported and easier to use
[06:07] <Gat0rvean> Can someone tell me how to remove applications from the main menu list?
[06:07] <Elive_user15> is it possible to add applications in the live cd mode
[06:08] <Jordan_U> Elive_user15, yes
[06:08] <joejaxx> CyberMadz: because Ubuntu is the official parent project
[06:08] <ThePioneer> I guess I want to do something where I know I'll get the most I can out of ubuntu
[06:08] <Frogzoo> blackjackel: you can install fglrx-control
[06:08] <kevin__> blackjackel: cant help you there mate, no idea
[06:08] <Jordan_U> CyberMadz, Ubuntu with gnome is easier to use
[06:08] <Elive_user15> jordan, to add i suppose i use apt function just like i have a hard drive install?
[06:09] <pedro_> OK, Now, who can Answer my question? That question again was, how do i install a font that i downloaded? In other words, what folder do i copy it to?
[06:09] <Flannel> !fonts | pedro_
[06:09] <bimberi> !fonts | pedro_
[06:09] <ubotu> pedro_: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer
[06:09] <cb2> whats the command to get an x86.run to work? i need the command for permissions
[06:09] <Jordan_U> Elive_user15, Yup, just make sure you don't install too much and run out of RAM :)
[06:09] <bimberi> :)
[06:09] <Jordan_U> cb2, chmod +x
[06:09] <cb2> ah chmod thats it thanks :)
[06:10] <kd5owo> Gerro: well, I got it working... I needed another file
[06:10] <Elive_user15> jordan is there a way to save what i have  added to livecd state like you can with knoppix and its "persistant home"
[06:10] <tarelerulz> When , I  transfer  file from my windows computer to my xbox I have to set the ip to static on lan connection  and I was wondering how I would do that with ubuntu?
[06:11] <kevin__> later people
[06:11] <m0u5e> whenever i try to full size my games, gnome crashes, anyone know whats going on?
[06:11] <Jordan_U> tarelerulz, System -> Administration -> Networking
[06:11] <Frogzoo> CyberMadz: light != full featured
[06:11] <Jordan_U> Elive_user15, You can if you have a thumb drive
[06:12] <Miso> How I can serve files from my computer in ubuntu?
[06:12] <m0u5e> miso: use samba
[06:12] <Jordan_U> Elive_user15, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDPersistence
[06:12] <cb2> ok, when I run the installer .run, it sya s verifying archive integirty, then shows a buncha little dots ...... then its just exits back to command line
[06:13] <cb2> why is this
[06:13] <m0u5e> miso: find it under synaptics, it supports simple file sharing between windows computers
[06:13] <cb2> no error or anyhting
[06:13] <ThePioneer> Jordan_U: How would I go about getting the .flv?
[06:13] <ThePioneer> A Url I assume?
[06:13] <Elive_user15> jordan great thanks for link and will give a try
[06:13] <m0u5e> Anyone know why my games crash whenever i try to full screen them?
[06:13] <ThePioneer> /tmp
[06:13] <tarelerulz> I have other thing to ask . how would I get my ftp client to use my lan connection an not my wireless one ?
[06:14] <Jordan_U> ThePioneer, No, just navigate to /tmp on your machine, that is where Firefox ( and all other ) applications store temporary files
[06:14] <ThePioneer> Ahh
[06:15] <Miso> m0u5e: for instance if I want to make something available for download as a clickable link but served from my computer, i can do that with samba?
[06:15] <ThePioneer> How would I open that /tmp through a shell nautilus?
[06:15] <m0u5e> miso: you should... after you share it, just give them your IP address (if your using KDE, you'll be able to specify the port (kde should have a built in file sharing app)
[06:15] <Jordan_U> Miso, No, you would have to use apache for that
[06:15] <m0u5e> miso: are you planning on doing server operations or simpel file sharing?
[06:15] <cb2> miso ho knee
[06:16] <m0u5e> simple*
[06:16] <Jordan_U> ThePioneer, / == "filesystem" in nautilus
[06:16] <Miso> server operations, I want to serve some of my things from my computer like a server rather than uploading them to other services
[06:16] <ThePioneer> I'm in /tmp I don't see anything pertaining to Youtube
[06:17] <Jordan_U> ThePioneer, Do you have the video open in Firefox?
[06:17] <ThePioneer> Yes
[06:17] <RNHavens> My DMESG is filling with Additional sense: Tracking servo failure, what does this mean?  Which drive is failing, I am only seeing cryptic numbers.
[06:17] <Gat0rvean> I had to reinstall Gnome, and I no longer have the "Main Menu" option to change what shows up on the "application" "places" and "system" tabs
[06:17] <Miso> b2: ho knee?
[06:17] <Jordan_U> ThePioneer, And there is no .flv file in /tmp ?
[06:17] <Frogzoo> m0u5e: wine games?
[06:17] <Miso> cb2: ho knee?
[06:18] <ThePioneer> I see Flash9ocP0A
[06:18] <ThePioneer> I think thats it?
[06:18] <ThePioneer> No what would I do with it?
[06:18] <ThePioneer> Just ave it elsewhere?
[06:18] <RNHavens> up wait i see it now. sr0 is going bye bye
[06:18] <Jordan_U> ThePioneer, That's it, double click it and it will play in totem :)
[06:18] <chrisjs169> is it possible to use iptables (sorry, must be iptables =/) to redirect all traffic from a local ip to another ip??
[06:18] <chrisjs169> *?
[06:19] <ThePioneer> And is it possible to save it?
[06:19] <Jordan_U> ThePioneer, Move the file to wherever you want it :)
[06:19] <ThePioneer> I got it!
[06:19] <ThePioneer> Thanks man
[06:19] <Gerro> how can I telnet over tor? what command would I use?
[06:19] <Jordan_U> ThePioneer, np
[06:19] <ThePioneer> I thought I had to wget
[06:19] <FunnyLookinHat> Gerro, "torify telnet"
[06:20] <FunnyLookinHat> Gerro, you can add torify to the beginning of any command to make it work through Tor
[06:20] <cb2> miso: say it
[06:20] <cb2> miso: say "ho knee"
[06:20] <Frogzoo> Gerro: maybe you want ssh
[06:20] <Gerro> FunnyLookinHat: thx a lot, was wracking my brain on this
[06:20] <Gerro> Frogzoo: nah I use ssh for other stuff
[06:21] <Carnage\> Is 512 MB of swap-partition acceptable for a system with also 512 MB of RAM?
[06:21] <kandrews> Hi, my capslock key doesn't work in terminals unless I sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup in a console (doesn't work in virtual terminal). Anyone have any thoughts on how to get the capslock key to work permanently? Thanks!
[06:21] <c0re^> hey, might anyone know why steam wont work with cedega?
[06:21] <blackjackel> This process seems to have frozen, how do I terminate it through the GUI?
[06:21] <SpeakerMania> Can someone help me add a line to GRUB to boot to my windows drive?
[06:21] <blackjackel> Is there something similar to a control - alt - delete?
[06:21] <RAOF> Carnage\: Yes, should be.  If you need to use more than 512mb of swap, your system will be unusably slow anyway :)
[06:21] <Carnage\> blackjackel: You can press Ctrl+Alt+Esc
[06:21] <Frogzoo> Carnage\: sure, you might find that a bit limited, but will work
[06:22] <kandrews> to clarify, only my tty[1-6]  have the problem.
[06:22] <Jordan_U> SpeakerMania, You can have grub re-check for other OS's by running: sudo update-grub
[06:22] <c0re^> Carnage\, when i do, it does nothing.
[06:22] <blackjackel> Carnage\, it dosen't seem to kill the process
[06:22] <arbrown> SpeakerMania: what would you like to know?
[06:22] <SpeakerMania> Can you explain firther? I'm new to GRUB and Linux commands
[06:22] <ThePioneer> Jordan_U know any other little tricks?
[06:22] <SpeakerMania> *further
[06:22] <Carnage\> blackjackel: Then run xkill
[06:22] <Carnage\> And klick on the window to be killed
[06:22] <Lounge> I was wondering about the NSA; is ubuntu safe from NSA spying?
[06:23] <c0re^> Lounge, as safe as any other distribution would be.
[06:23] <Jordan_U> SpeakerMania, Try running "sudo update-grub" in a terminal and it *should* add a line for windows :)
[06:23] <Lounge> er... is that a yes?
[06:23] <SpeakerMania> Okay, I'll have to reboot to try that. Thanks.
[06:23] <Lounge> is there a way to keep them from monitoring tcp/ip?
[06:24] <c0re^> Lounge, well, it is open source, so they might be able to find a flaw and exploit it to their advantage, but they can do that with any distribution (thats open source)
[06:24] <chrisjs169> is it possible to use iptables (sorry, must be iptables =/) to redirect all traffic from a local ip to another ip?
[06:24] <Jordan_U> Lounge, TOR, ( but don't use it for large downloads or P2P please )
[06:24] <c0re^> Lounge, if you can find out their ip address range you can ignore packets from them with moblock
[06:24] <SpeakerMania> Jordan_U: Once it adds a line for Windows, will GRUB automatically boot to Windows? And does it matter if I have them installed on separate HDDs?
[06:24] <c0re^> Lounge, or you can do as Jordan_U says and route traffic through TOR
[06:24] <justin_> mmmmmmmmmm
[06:25] <justin_> anyone know much about ati dual mons?
[06:25] <c0re^> (not very fast)
[06:25] <Lounge> tor eh?
[06:25] <kmasta> ????
[06:25] <Lounge> i'll look into that
[06:25] <c0re^> Lounge, http://tor.eff.org
[06:25] <justin_> i got dual mon support in the xorg.conf but it seems that each is doing something very wierd
[06:25] <puzzle> besser ;0
[06:25] <Lounge> thanx for the 411
[06:25] <justin_> it does indeed do both desktops and then chooses which to display
[06:25] <c0re^> Lounge, np
[06:25] <Frogzoo> Lounge: you think the NSA have free resources to go after your extensive pr0n archive?
[06:25] <c0re^> hey, might anyone know why steam wont work with cedega?
[06:25] <blackjackel> This is really odd, now I have these little windows, but all they have in them are icons, really small icons,
[06:25] <justin_> and hten both monitors clone each other instead of actually shoing the thing lol
[06:25] <Lounge> i believe in PRIVACY!!!
[06:25] <justin_> @_@
[06:25] <Lounge> damn it
[06:25] <Jordan_U> SpeakerMania, No, GRUB will give you the option of running windows or Ubuntu when you boot
[06:25] <arbrown> SpeakerMania: you will have a choice of which OS to boot. Doesn't matter if they are on separate drives so long as your menu.lst is setup properly and that drive is ste to boot. If update-grub doesn't do the trick: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/index.html
[06:26] <SpeakerMania> Cool, thanks!
[06:26] <kmasta> O_o
[06:26] <m0u5e> frogzoo: wine games, and now regular games too

[06:27] <m0u5e> frogzoo: for example i used to be able to full screen frozen-bubble, but now i can't
[06:27] <Frogzoo> m0u5e: check in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[06:27] <kmasta> i'm new who are you?
[06:27] <SpeakerMania> Jordan_U: So after I get the line added and it displays the option, I should always boot form the Ubuntu drive to make sure the Windows bootloader doesn't take over?
[06:28] <n2diy> kmasta: I'm not new.
[06:28] <c0re^> hey, might anyone know why steam wont work with cedega? it kind of just sits there and does nothing...

[06:30] <SpeakerMania>  Jordan_U: So after I get the line added and it displays the option, I should always boot form the Ubuntu drive to make sure the Windows bootloader doesn't take over?
[06:30] <DTtrump> hey

[06:31] <ThePioneer> There is a install for better audio drivers ins't there?
[06:31] <c0re^> hey, might anyone know why steam wont work with cedega? it kind of just sits there and does nothing...
[06:31] <imbecile> how can i change my splash screen?
[06:31] <m0u5e> c0re^: i don't know about cedega, but you might wanna try wine and see if the same thing happens?
[06:31] <c0re^> m0u5e, same thing does happen.
[06:32] <m0u5e> c0re^: try running them in debug mode?
[06:32] <n2diy> DTtrump: How do you know they aren't loaded?
[06:32] <r4nge> what is recommended for partitioning... parted or fdisk?  as far as i can tell parted doesnt support ext3
[06:32] <m0u5e> r4nge: the ubuntu cd comes with Gparted

[06:33] <ThePioneer> imbecile: www.parker1.co.uk/satanic will tell you how to change it
[06:33] <n2diy> DTtrump: Use my nick in your replies, so it rings my bell. What does ifconfig tell you?
[06:33] <Elive_user15> n2 i have an old gateway that only has 64m of ram and motherbd can handle three 128m of old ram; i think its sdrmm; does that sound correct
[06:33] <r4nge> m0u5e, i'm using command line

[06:34] <DTtrump> n2diy i'll brb

[06:34] <SpeakerMania> What do you mean? Mount it in the case, screw it down, plug it in, wallah.
[06:34] <HiddenHax> yeah

[06:35] <pnorris> hey guys i am using gtkpod for the first time and i am having a problem mounting my ipod here is what it is saying:  Could not find iPod directory structure at '/media/ipod'.
[06:35] <pnorris> If you are sure that the iPod is properly mounted at '/media/ipod', gtkpod can create the directory structure for you.
[06:35] <pnorris> Do you want to create the directory structure now?   i click yes and then it takes me to a screen where i select my version and then it says this:  Error initialising iPod: Problem creating iPod directory or file: '/media/ipod/iPod_Control'.
[06:35] <pnorris>   what am i doing wrong?
[06:35] <n2diy> DTtrump: ok, CLU
[06:35] <kmasta> what are you talking about
[06:35] <imbecile> how can I change my splash? I want to change it to this one http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Click+n+Load?content=51902
[06:35] <c0re^> pnorris, you might not have permission to make that directory, so make it for the program
[06:36] <c0re^> pnorris, sudo mkdir /media/ipod/iPod_Control
[06:36] <r4nge> when i install if i create a partition for "/boot" will the installation automatically put the normal /boot file in that partition...  i ahvent done an install in a while so dont remember
[06:36] <r4nge> boot files*
[06:37] <Flannel> r4nge: yes
[06:37] <pnorris> where do i make that directory?
[06:37] <jericho> can anyone help me troubleshoot a wine install?
[06:37] <pnorris> and how do i install that directory?
[06:37] <kmasta> i can't
[06:37] <r4nge> tx
[06:37] <kmasta> ???
[06:38] <n2diy> kmasta:  I just checked in, what is your question?
[06:39] <kmasta> who are you
[06:39] <pnorris> where do i make that directory?
[06:39] <n2diy> kmasta:  I just checked in, what is your question about Ubuntu?
[06:39] <imbecile> how can I change my splash? I want to change it to this one http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Click+n+Load?content=51902
[06:39] <kandrews> Is there a way I can get my capslock key to work permanently in the tty consoles? thanks
[06:39] <c0re^> pnorris, you type that command in the terminal, and the directory will be made
[06:39] <Miso> can anyone talk me through setting up apache in ubuntu?
[06:40] <kmasta> i'm dead
[06:40] <solar_ant> what is the best wayto update from breezy to edgy over ssh ? change apt sources and apt-get dist-upgrade ?
[06:40] <c0re^> solar_ant, sounds good to me.
[06:40] <Madpilot> kandrews, you mean to have it permanently on? You don't want that, the command line is case sensitive...
[06:40] <n2diy> ! solar_ant | upgrade
[06:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about solar_ant - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:40] <solar_ant> c0re^:  :) ok will go with that !
[06:40] <kane_> anyone have any idea how to get the " X Int10 " server module for Xorg?
[06:40] <cables> If I reply to something on Launchpad using my email client, should I sign the message? Since Launchpad has my PGP keys, will it check to make sure the address hasn't been spoofed?
[06:41] <Madpilot> solar_ant, you can't skip Ubuntu releases. You'd have to go Breezy->Dapper->Edgy->Feisty
[06:41] <imbecile> hey guys, where do i find usplash?
[06:41] <RAOF> solar_ant: Be *extremely* careful upgrading over SSH.  It's entirely possible that the upgrade will disconnect your box.
[06:41] <Jordan_U> cables, No need, I never do :)
[06:41] <cables> It should require that
[06:41] <cables> anyone can spoof an email address
[06:41] <n2diy> ! upgrade |  solar_ant
[06:41] <ubotu> solar_ant: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[06:42] <c0re^> anyone know why steam just doesnt work in wine, as well as cedega? it says its updating but just sits there.
[06:42] <solar_ant> thanks !
[06:42] <LuisGMarine> Anyone here get ut2004 working on Feisty AMD64?
[06:42] <pnorris> hey guys i am having trouble mounting my ipod in gtkpod.  what do i need to do?
[06:42] <RAOF> solar_ant: Particularly if network-manager is involved somewhere in there.  If you don't have local access, you could end up with an unreachable box.
[06:42] <kmasta> i'm new
[06:42] <imbecile> hey guys, where do i find usplash? is there a gui for it?
[06:43] <Madpilot> kmasta, if you just want to chat, please join #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:43] <kandrews> Madpilot: My console capslock key just doesn't work in any of the non-virtual consoles until I reconfigure console-setup. But then I have to do that every time a turn on my laptop.
[06:43] <n2diy> kmasta:  I just checked in, what is your question about Ubuntu?
[06:43] <jason123> hi how do i inatall OpenGL
[06:43] <solar_ant> RAOF:  is it possible to let the upgrade continue even if the ssh disconnects ?
[06:44] <Jordan_U> cables, I believe that I have replied to launchpad from my email account but now that I think of it I am not sure, but I don't think that it is necessary, anyone can make a fake account too, and people in authority do sign their comments on launchpad from what I have seen
[06:44] <GomoX> Hey
[06:44] <Jordan_U> solar_ant, Use screen
[06:44] <Ademan> anyone know of a c/c++ IDE that has vim integration? I'd be using KDevelop right now probably, if it wasn't for my addiction to vim (i'm friggin sick of editing configure.ac and Makefile.am files, and i've only done it once...)
[06:44] <cables> Jordan_U, ah, ok
[06:44] <solar_ant> Jordan_U: ?
[06:44] <c0re^> jason123, by installing the corresponding driver to your video card.
[06:44] <GomoX> Is it possible to have gnome switch virtual desktops by scrolling with the mouse wheel on the desktop?
[06:44] <jason123> ok
[06:44] <Jordan_U> !info screen | solar_ant
[06:45] <ubotu> solar_ant: screen: a terminal multiplexor with VT100/ANSI terminal emulation. In component main, is optional. Version 4.0.3-0.2ubuntu2 (feisty), package size 571 kB, installed size 980 kB
[06:45] <Madpilot> GomoX, you can use the scrollwheel when you hover over the desktop selector widget
[06:45] <pnorris> any help with gtkpod?
[06:45] <Jordan_U> solar_ant, it will basically let you reconnect to the same running session ( among other things ) even if you get disconnected
[06:45] <GomoX> Yeah but that kind of beats the point
[06:45] <dru> hello, im really getting sick of my firefox turning all grey and crashing ... why is it doing that?
[06:45] <GomoX> :/
[06:46] <RAOF> solar_ant: Yes.  Start it up in a screen session, and then disconnect from the screen.
[06:46] <kandrews> dru: do you have flash installed?
[06:46] <dru> sure do
[06:46] <Jordan_U> dru, Does it do it when you are viewing flash videos?
[06:46] <solar_ant> nice :)
[06:46] <dru> sometimes
[06:46] <dru> but i wasnt just not .. and it did
[06:46] <dru> now**
[06:46] <RAOF> solar_ant: However, this still isn't guaranteed to get it working, since if you've changed some config it'll ask if you want to overwrite it.
[06:47] <Atook> Ahoy! I'm an ubuntu noob, and I have a question about getting a wireless card to start.
[06:47] <c0re^> anyone know why steam just doesnt work in wine, as well as cedega? it says its updating but just sits there.
[06:47] <Jordan_U> Atook, Do you know what the chipset of the card is?
[06:47] <dru> jordan_u: why does it crash? ... it never did on windows
[06:47] <pnorris> i need some help mounting and ipod in gtkpod
[06:48] <RAOF> c0re^: Because it doesn't work in wine?  Not everything does, and Cedega's whole reason for existance is to play games like Steam.
[06:48] <Atook> I've just installed, and my wireless card (Linksys WPC54g) it shows up in hardware, but can't see my wireless network.
[06:48] <Jordan_U> dru, The flash plugin for Linux has been mostly neglected by Adobe / macromedia, as for anything else I don't know, I don't have any other problems
[06:48] <linuxacolyspe> Who likes XFCE? I installed it last night....it  flies! :-)
[06:48] <c0re^> RAOF, well, it doesnt work in either
[06:48] <RAOF> !wireless > Atook <----- Read the private message from ubotu
[06:48] <Ademan> linuxacolyspe: i liked it for a bit, it sucks with the network-manager-applet though
[06:49] <dru> well i help run a flash site so i kinda have to view a couple hundred flash movies / animations a day
[06:49] <Ademan> it keeps magically replicating
[06:49] <c0re^> RAOF, it sits there, consuming no network traffic, saying its updating..
[06:49] <solar_ant> RAOF:  anyway to give default answers for configs ?
[06:49] <n2diy> Atook:  does ifconfig see the card?
[06:49] <Atook> ifconfig?
[06:49] <RAOF> c0re^: Oh, I parsed that wrong, sorry.  Dunno, ask the winehq.org application database?
[06:49] <n2diy> yes
[06:49] <linuxacolyspe> Ademan: I don't do networking, it's just fast for me. :-)
[06:49] <c0re^> RAOF, also, while trying to play enemy territory, the server browser is blank, but i can connect to servers fine. i have et installed on my windows box and it retreives servers properly.
[06:49] <RAOF> solar_ant: You could _try_ "yes | sudo aptitude dist-upgrade".
[06:50] <c0re^> RAOF, thanks, ill check there for the steam problem.
[06:50] <Atook> umm..
[06:50] <Jordan_U> Atook, I think that is a broadcom card, you just need the firmware for it if that is true ( it can't be included by default for legal reasons ) you can get it by installing the package bcm43xx-fwcutter with synaptic
[06:50] <RAOF> solar_ant: But that's going to say "yes" to *everything*, so again, be wary!
[06:50] <Atook> it is broadcom I think, I have to download this bcm43xx file then?
[06:50] <dru> jordan_u: any way i can listen to the music on my zune device that is plugged in via usb? ... do i need to update my usb ports? because i read sumwhere that ubuntu is 1.1 and i need 2.0
[06:51] <n2diy> Atook:  include my nick in your replies, that rings my bell here. Open a terminal, type ifconfig, and see if your card is listed.
[06:51] <c0re^> RAOF, also, while trying to play enemy territory, the server browser is blank, but i can connect to servers fine. i have et installed on my windows box and it retreives servers properly.
[06:51] <solar_ant> RAOF:  yes is to keep the current version right ?
[06:51] <RAOF> dru: That's wrong, Ubuntu supports both USB 1.1 & 2.0 (and everything else)
[06:51] <Atook> n2diy: Thanks, I'm giving it a go.
[06:51] <dru> well how do i view my zune device? because when i plug it in, nothing shows up
[06:51] <RAOF> solar_ant: "Yes" is to overwrite your config with the defaults.  It doesn't seem that there's a "no" program :)
[06:52] <n2diy> Atook:  Roger roger
[06:52] <Jordan_U> dru, No, Linux has supported USB 2.0 longer than WIndows AFIK, but I don't know how to use a Zune :(
[06:52] <RAOF> solar_ant: you *may* be OK, since all those questions should be asked before any packages are actually installed.
[06:52] <divy1> all: I'm not able to run shell script..same script is running on fedora system but not on the ubuntu system
[06:53] <dru> oh ... how would i go about seeing what is plugged into my usb ports?
[06:53] <Atook> n2diy: looks like it ran a 'ping' command, no errors or collisions.
[06:53] <Madpilot> dru, ask Bill when he's going to release *nix support for his iPod-killer ;)
[06:53] <c0re^> RAOF, also, while trying to play enemy territory, the server browser is blank, but i can connect to servers fine. i have et installed on my windows box and it retreives servers properly.
[06:53] <Atook> n2diy: don't see anything about the card though.
[06:53] <Jordan_U> divy1, Does it reference /bin/sh instead of /bin/bash?
[06:53] <Madpilot> dru, "lsusb" in the terminal
[06:53] <RAOF> c0re^: I don't know anything about that.  I'm not a wine expert.  And I saw your question the first time :)
[06:53] <n2diy> Atook:  ok, run lshw, does that show it?
[06:53] <divy1> Jordan_U: yes
[06:53] <c0re^> RAOF, sorry, i assumed you didnt because you didnt respond
[06:54] <dru> madpilot: how do i launch it?
[06:54] <RAOF> c0re^: Nah, just doing other things :)
[06:54] <c0re^> RAOF, but, the thing is, its not running from wine.. its native linux.
[06:54] <RAOF> c0re^: Still, I don't know.
[06:54] <Madpilot> dru, Applications->Accessories->Terminal
[06:54] <c0re^> RAOF, thanks anyway :)
[06:54] <Atook> n2diy: Yeah it shows a bradcom wireless lan controller
[06:54] <dru> i know that
[06:54] <dru> i mean how do i launch whats in the usb
[06:54] <Jordan_U> divy1, If it is your script you should get out of that habbit, you should never assume that /bin/sh == /bin/bash , because many times it doesn't ( like in Ubuntu :)
[06:55] <Madpilot> dru, depends what it is. I've no idea if there are any *nix apps that talk to Zunes
[06:55] <n2diy> Atook:  ok, copy the make, model, FCC number, whatever, and google for a linux module/driver for it.
[06:55] <linuxacolyspe> XFCE is like SunOS on steroids....well, I do have a fast system and XFCE has a small memory footprint...but could you do that with Windows Whatever? Yes, I am a nerd
[06:55] <Madpilot> dru, if it mounts as a drive, you might be able to get at it - but if it mounted as a drive, it should have showed up on the desktop like USB keys do
[06:55] <LuisGMarine> linuxacolyspe: I don't think so
[06:55] <linuxacolyspe> LOL
[06:55] <Atook> n2diy: I'll give it a shot. Thanks
[06:56] <divy1> Jordan_U: i used /bin/sh but the problem is that i can not manipulate the variables declared
[06:56] <Jordan_U> Atook, Did fwcutter get your card working?
[06:56] <LuisGMarine> linuxacolyspe: I don't think windows allows people to change the DE for a less memory hog one
[06:56] <linuxacolyspe> Luis: Why?
[06:56] <n2diy> Atook:  if you can find the module/driver for it, then you have a shot at firing it up. How old is it?
[06:56] <dru> madpilot: Bus 004 Device 002: ID 058f:9360 Alcor Micro Corp. ... i think thats it
[06:56] <dru> but it doesnt show on the desktop
[06:56] <Toma-> linuxacolyspe: you can use bloackbox on windows, iirc
[06:56] <Toma-> *blackbox
[06:56] <Zelda> hello. I have a logitech mx518 gamers mouse. I have 5 buttons. How do I get the two by my thumbs to work for browsing back and forth in folders and in firefox?
[06:57] <LuisGMarine> Zelda, one second, let me find you the guide
[06:57] <homanj> i am running feisty on a pretty clean install, any reason why i cannot scale the rythmbox window horizontally?
[06:57] <Jordan_U> divy1, Probably because you are using BASH syntax instead of DASH syntax ( /bin/sh == dash in Ubuntu ) Try calling BASH if that is what you want your script to be interpreted in
[06:57] <linuxacolyspe> Luis: I was only talking about using a low memory usage window manager. :-)
[06:57] <RAOF> divy1: You're probably using bashisms (ie: things which are legal in bash but *not* in POSIX sh).  You could fix this by using the #!/bin/bash shebang, to make sure it runs in bash rather than sh
[06:57] <Toma-> linuxacolyspe: http://www.bb4win.org/news.php
[06:58] <linuxacolyspe> Blackbox is good...just can't make it owrk in Unbuntu
[06:58] <linuxacolyspe> work
[06:58] <Lemo1> hello
[06:58] <Elive_user15> hello
[06:58] <n2diy> RAOF: Bash doesn't conform with POSIX? How'd it become so popular?
[06:58] <Lemo1> I'm using a LCD monitor,
[06:58] <dru> jordan_u, madpilot: im having another problem, when i have beryl open. sumtimes when i open a new window, the windows is black and i cant see the window
[06:58] <Lemo1> and there's a few pixels missing at the top
[06:59] <linuxacolyspe> Luis Tomas, gracias, amigos. :-)
[06:59] <GomoX> it's not that bash is not posix
[06:59] <GomoX> it's that posix is not bash
[06:59] <LuisGMarine> Zelda hold on bud, still looking
[06:59] <Lemo1> How do I adjust the display position?
[06:59] <Lemo1> ...so that the entire display fits on the monitor?
[06:59] <Jordan_U> n2diy, Bash is POSIX like a square is a rectangle
[06:59] <RAOF>  n2diy: Bash *does* conform with POSIX, but you're obviously using some extensions.  Bash is POSIX + extensions.
[06:59] <Madpilot> dru, I don't run beryl - I generally avoid alpha-release software...
[06:59] <GomoX> POSIX compliant scripts will run in bash, but not every bash script is POSIX compliant therefore it might not run on other POSIX shells
[06:59] <RAOF> Jordan_U: Nice geometry analogy
[07:00] <dru> madpilot: oh i like it, but its just annoying to see a black screen sumtimes
[07:00] <homanj> Zelda: this might work for you: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2006/12/01/support-for-5-button-mouse-in-firefox-ubuntu-6061-610/
[07:00] <antum> Hi I need help getting http svn access working, I think I've got all permissions set correctly but still receiving: Could not open the requested SVN filesystem. I've asked in #svn but no response yet
[07:00] <Zelda> homanj: yeah great thanks
[07:01] <homanj> Zelda: you might need to change the button mapping around.
[07:01] <LuisGMarine> Zelda http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#Activate_side-mouse-buttons_in_FireFox
[07:01] <LuisGMarine> that too
[07:01] <niru> hi
[07:01] <homanj> sorry LuisGMarine, i had to visit that page already today so I had it handy.
[07:01] <divy1> Jordan_U: i am just trying out a simple scripy to reverse the arguments passed.i use avariable called counter.. but then when i try to increment it it says syntax error..i used counter=$((ounter - 1)).it says arith error.
[07:01] <homanj> didnt mean to cut in
[07:01] <Lemo1> So does the problem lie in xorg.conf?
[07:01] <LuisGMarine> homanj: no problem =P
[07:02] <Madpilot> dru, http://ubuntuforums.org/search.php?searchid=20570728 <-- searched for 'Zune' on ubuntuforums - doesn't look promising, but have a look thru some of those threads
[07:02] <LuisGMarine> zelda I have the same mouse and I'm going to do the " hack " right now, so I'll let you know if it works or not
[07:02] <Jordan_U> divy1, Does it work when you call BASH?
[07:02] <LuisGMarine> Anyone here get ut2004 working on Feisty?
[07:02] <dru> :( if i cant have my zune, looks like i have to convert back to windows
[07:02] <LuisGMarine> AMD64 that is
[07:02] <Zelda> LuisGMarine: THANKS! thats exactly what I need
[07:02] <Lemo1> Oy
[07:03] <n2diy> Jordan_U:  RAOF, I' m asking because I don't know. I'm a hardware guy, and I know that a square isn't a rectangle. But I don't know what is POSIX, and what isn't. I've been playing with Linux for 7 years, and I thought Bash was the scripting language of choice for us scripting handicapped?
[07:03] <kyah2004> hey there could anyone tell me the reason why firefox would crash when i try to load flash website
[07:03] <divy1> no it shows same thing when i used bash
[07:03] <divy1> Jordan_U: it showed the same thing when i used BASH also
[07:04] <Toma-> LuisGMarine: not on 64bit, but 32bit, sure
[07:04] <divy1> Jordan_U: how am i supposed to use shebang?
[07:04] <n2diy> kyah2004: You don't have the plug ins loaded? And don't ask me how to load them, the last time I tried was a "disaster."
[07:04] <Jordan_U> divy1, #! /bin/bash
[07:04] <RAOF> n2diy: Actually, a square *is* a rectangle.  It's just a rectangle where all the sides are equal.
[07:05] <LuisGMarine> Toma-: I'll ask you these two questions, how did you apply the linux patch?
[07:05] <fxfitz> Hi there. I'm trying to play a video with mplayer, but when I go to fullscreen the aspect ratio doesn't change. This used to work and I don't know what might have changed it. Can anyone help??
[07:05] <Toma-> LuisGMarine: i used an installer
[07:05] <divy1> Jordan_U: yeah i did that and then <space>shebang
[07:05] <LuisGMarine> Toma-: the patch has an installer?
[07:05] <n2diy> RAOF: I thought that was what defined the difference between a square and  a rectangle?
[07:06] <Toma-> LuisGMarine: the installer included the patch
[07:06] <RAOF> n2diy: So the analogy is "bash is POSIX in the same way a square is a rectangle, ie: it's got all the properties of a rectangle + plus some extras".  If you *use* the extra bash functionality in a shell script, then it's no longer a POSIX shell script.
[07:06] <orbin> fxfitz: add 'zoom=yes' (w/out wuotes) to ~/.mplayer/config
[07:06] <orbin> *quotes
[07:06] <fxfitz> orbin, But what changed? :(
[07:06] <LuisGMarine> Toma-: I can't find an installer in this folder patch
[07:06] <divy1> Jordan_U: even when i used BASH it showed the same thing
[07:07] <RAOF> n2diy: A square is a rectangle with all sides equal, or equivelantly a rhombus with right angles.  Think of it like multiple inheritance :)
[07:07] <Zelda> LuisGMarine: That didnt work.
[07:07] <LuisGMarine> Zelda did you restart?
[07:07] <orbin> fxfitz: oh, i might be thinking of something else actually.
[07:07] <Zelda> no. ill be backj
[07:07] <fxfitz> orbin, Actually, it /did/ work
[07:07] <LuisGMarine> Zelda you have to restart X for changes to take effect
[07:07] <fxfitz> orbin, But I was wondering why it didn't work anymore.
[07:07] <LuisGMarine> or not
[07:07] <n2diy> RAOF: Ok, so Bash can step outside the POSIX specs., does that effect me when I'm editing my .rc scripts? Or am I safe to play with them?
[07:07] <orbin> fxfitz: *shrug*
[07:07] <Toma-> LuisGMarine: http://www.liflg.org/?catid=6&gameid=17
[07:08] <RAOF> n2diy: As long as you *specify* /bin/bash, you're cool.  It's when you try to pass a bash script off as POSIX that you get into trouble :)
[07:08] <linuxacolyspe> What kind if window manager does everyone use here?
[07:08] <fxfitz> orbin, Well thanks! Have a great night.
[07:08] <RAOF> An OpenGL compositing window manager
[07:08] <Toma-> linuxacolyspe: being a gnome disto, metacity.
[07:09] <linuxacolyspe> cool
[07:09] <c0re^> compiz + AIGLX
[07:09] <Atook> Jordan, not sure what fwcutter is. N2DIY: Fiesty didn't install ndis, I think, so I can't install the windows linksys drivers?
[07:09] <n2diy> RAOF:  Ok, have to go find my geometry book. Roger running !/bin/bash. I remember that from my Perl class. :)
[07:10] <c0re^> RAOF, i think i have some sort of error with my network. its too coincidental that enemy territory cant find punkbuster, the master server list, and cant connect to steam for updates.
[07:10] <DShepherd> how can i kill a gnome session from the command line.. without logging out other users that might logged in..
[07:10] <c0re^> DShepherd, sudo killall gdm
[07:10] <\x6e\x65\x72\x64> that will kill the other users
[07:10] <c0re^> DShepherd, wait, without logging out people
[07:11] <DShepherd> c0re^, that's what i said
[07:11] <c0re^> DShepherd, i dont suggest trying my solution then
[07:11] <n2diy> Atook:  Can't help you with Winders stuff, see if you can find the Linux modules for your device, then, maybe, we can help you.
[07:11] <\x6e\x65\x72\x64> DShepherd: login into any terminal with the account you want to stop the session, and type kill -9 -1
[07:11] <DShepherd> c0re^, yeah me neither..
[07:12] <Jordan_U> Atook, You don't need or want NDIS wrapper, install the package bcm43xx-fwcutter
[07:13] <danielmarsom> hi, i need help with installing gtk+2.10 or over that
[07:13] <danielmarsom> i need to install the gtk aurora engine
[07:13] <Pijiu> how do I create a folder in file system, it says I don't have permission
[07:14] <danielmarsom> and i am having trouble, could anyone point me in the right durection
[07:14] <Zelda> LuisGMarine: well that worked. Except now I dont have my set background, and beryl isnt working anymore.
[07:14] <danielmarsom> Pijiu:  if its saying you dont have permission, you must be root to do that
[07:14] <danielmarsom> so use the command
[07:14] <LuisGMarine> Zelda, did you change anything else in the config?
[07:14] <Pijiu> I was root it still didn't let me
[07:14] <danielmarsom> sudo nautilus
[07:15] <danielmarsom> gee... you must have screwy permissions] 
[07:15] <gonzoism> i'm trying to install ubuntu-desktop and apt-get is installing from the net instead of the cdrom i put in for it
[07:15] <Zelda> luisGMarine: Nope. I copied and pasted everything that dealt with that in that tutorial.
[07:15] <gonzoism> how do i get apt to use the packages on the cd ?
[07:15] <c0re^> gonzoism, use the synaptic option to install from cd
[07:15] <gonzoism> it looks like it is ignoring them
[07:15] <LuisGMarine> Zelda, try running beryl-manager, and from there right click on the red diamon and make sure that under Window manager or something,  is set to beryl not , metacy
[07:15] <danielmarsom> sudo apt-cdrom add
[07:15] <Alan_> Ug.. I'm loading my wifi kernel module but no devices get created
[07:15] <gonzoism> core i am in console
[07:16] <Alan_> Confirmed it is loading with lsmod
[07:16] <Zelda> Ok thats fixed.
[07:16] <Zelda> Now what happened to my backgrounds?
[07:16] <LuisGMarine> Zelda beryl is?
[07:16] <Zelda> yeah
[07:16] <gonzoism> c0re^ i am in console.  what file do i edit ?
[07:16] <c0re^> gonzoism so you cant use synaptic... hmm
[07:16] <Zelda> my themes messed up
[07:16] <DShepherd> \x6e\x65\x72\x64, that mostly worked.. there was this sound though.. that i couldnt get rid of ,,, the start up for the gdm before you login that is
[07:17] <LuisGMarine> Zelda sorry to say but that has nothing to do with you changing the files in xorg.conf, if you say you only edited the mouse parts , that's something else
[07:17] <c0re^> gonzoism, you're probably going to have to use aptitude, but i dont know the specific command..
[07:17] <c0re^> gonzoism let me look it up.
[07:17] <Zelda> well everything was working until I rebooted. How do I reload the last one?
[07:17] <gonzoism> c0re^ ok.  also i would like to install the suggested packages at the same time if you see that there
[07:17] <\x6e\x65\x72\x64> DShepherd: i have that problem on a laptop, that sound keeps playing whenever I do anything.. weird stuff, couldn't fix either :/
[07:18] <LuisGMarine> Zelda, open up terminal and type in, sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak /etc/X11/xorg.conf and restart
[07:18] <DShepherd> \x6e\x65\x72\x64, oh well.. thanks. i eventually just restarted the gdm..
[07:18] <Jordan_U> Atook, You only need to do two things to get your card to work, first open System -> Administration -> Software-Sources and enable community maintained software, then open System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager and search for and install "bcm43xx-fwcutter"
[07:18] <delaney> if anyone is able to explain why suddnely i get these "declare -x" things when i login I would appreciate the help  http://img412.imageshack.us/my.php?image=untitledjp7.jpg
[07:18] <LuisGMarine> Zelda come back and make sure that your problems are fixed, if they aren't then its nothing you did , its beryl
[07:18] <delaney> ^screnshot shows what i mean
[07:19] <Jordan_U> Atook, You only need to do two things to get your card to work, first open System -> Administration -> Software-Sources and enable community maintained software, then open System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager and search for and install "bcm43xx-fwcutter"
[07:20] <Zelda> LuisGMarine: Ok. give me a moment
[07:20] <atrus> delaney: that's the sort of output that the 'export' command gives without any arguments. do you have "export" in a .bashrc, .bash_profile, .profile, or similar file somewhere?
[07:20] <Atook> Jordan: that's starting to make sense. where can I find this package, not that the ubuntu machine isn't on the net yet, I have to find the package on my windows box, then transfer it via USB drive.  I find all these dead links to packages.ubuntu.com. :(
[07:20] <delaney> atrus,  thats the thing that confuses me. i removed eerything in my home and in my ~root as well
[07:20] <delaney> it still continues to appear
[07:21] <c0re^> gonzoism, ok, when installing from the cd, the cd should have been added as an extra repository, make sure of it in the /etc/apt/sources.list . from there you can probably disable (comment out) other repositories, so it defaults to the cd
[07:21] <atrus> delaney: you could create a new user and see if it's effected. if it is, it might be in /etc/ somewhere. /etc/profile or similar
[07:21] <jeeves__> ok, in the never ending sauga, I'd love any help I can get to get the sound working on my laptop
[07:21] <Atook> Jordan: *Note* that the ubuntu machine isn't on the net, I'm looking for the bcm43xx package
[07:21] <c0re^> gonzoism, im not sure thats the best way to do it, but i think it might work.
[07:21] <gonzoism> c0re^  sounds good.  want me to let you know ?
[07:21] <Flannel> gonzoism: "sudo apt-cdrom add" will add the CD to your repositories
[07:21] <c0re^> gonzoism, actually im going to sleep very soon.
[07:22] <gonzoism> flannel i did that and it still ignores it
[07:22] <Flannel> gonzoism: which CD do you have?
[07:22] <divy1> Jordan_U: Thanks
[07:22] <divy1> Jordan_U: it worked finally
[07:22] <Akuma_> how can i recursively delete files matching a certain pattern?
[07:22] <Jordan_U> Atook, You can grab just the firmware from my site @ http://trogdoor.googlepages.com/firmware.zip and extract the files to /lib/firmware when you get connected to the internet though you should still install the package as it will keep your firmware up to date automatically
[07:22] <gonzoism> flannel i installed the server cd and was gonna stick ubuntu-desktop on top of it.  7.04  i have the ubuntu-desktop and server for x86
[07:22] <n2diy> jeeves__: Hello OM, haven't talked to you since Febuary! Sorry, can't help ya.
[07:22] <martyd215> using gnome you can also add it through the system->admin->software sources applet...
[07:23] <martyd215> the cd repos.
[07:23] <Zelda> hey Luis: do you know where to get other beryl themes? All I want to do Is change the default color to blue
[07:23] <Flannel> gonzoism: er, wait.  You have the server CD and the Desktop CD?
[07:23] <jeeves__> m2diy:  wow.  You ARE alive!!  and here I thought you dropped off the face of the planet
[07:23] <GTroy> I'm compiling 2.6.21.1 and I've configured the kernel, how do I get it to run via the command $make kpkg
[07:23] <GTroy> ?
[07:23] <gonzoism> flannel  yes
[07:23] <Flannel> gonzoism: The desktop CD doesn't have ubuntu-desktop on it.  You need the alternate CD to get (all but a few) packages on the CD.
[07:23] <gonzoism> flannel i have set the server cd aside.
[07:23] <orbin> jeeves__: have you had a look at ubotu's sound factoid?
[07:24] <gonzoism> flannel  ah
[07:24] <LuisGMarine> Zelda http://www.beryl-themes.org/
[07:24] <Flannel> gonzoism: also, you would need to disconnect/comment out the web repositories (with the alternate CD), because the versions on the net will be newer than those on the CD
[07:24] <GTroy> kernel comilers, please help!
[07:24] <Zelda> I fixed it too.
[07:24] <Flannel> gonzoism: it's easier to install the desktop CD, then install the server stuff
[07:24] <arooni> given a FTP address ... how can i download EVERYTHING within a given directory (recursively, and all at once) ?
[07:24] <SpeakerMania> Can I change the splash image?
[07:24] <gonzoism> flannel ok
[07:24] <jeeves__> orbin:  yes.  I'm thinking (from my reading is that) it's a BIOS problem
[07:24] <bulmer> try wget -r ftp://xxx.com
[07:24] <Jordan_U> SpeakerMania, Yes
[07:25] <jeeves__> orbin:  yes.
[07:25] <SpeakerMania> How?
[07:25] <LuisGMarine> Zelda, very weird, something is deff wrong.  You might have edited something bad, but changing your mouse section in xorg.conf " SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY AFFECT ON YOUR DE"
[07:25] <gonzoism> flannel how do i tell apt-get install to install the suggested too ?
[07:25] <GTroy> !kernel
[07:25] <jeeves__> Flannel:  you're alive as well!!
[07:25] <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
[07:25] <arooni> bulmer: i have a login & password... do u know command line args for that off top of your head?
[07:25] <LuisGMarine> Specially the way themes look
[07:25] <bulmer> arooni: nope
[07:25] <n2diy> arooni: read the man page for ftp, it is something to do with get and -R or -r.
[07:25] <Jordan_U> SpeakerMania, Do you want to change the grub menu splash image or the usplash splash screen?
[07:26] <SpeakerMania> Jordan_U: What? The image when Ubuntu loads whenth bar thing goes across.
[07:26] <Atook> Jordan: thanks, I'm giving it a go right now.
[07:26] <SpeakerMania> Jordan_U: I don't get a BRUB image anyways
[07:27] <SpeakerMania> GRUB*
[07:27] <Musicman> Hey, has anyone been installing ubuntu Feisty Fawn on an HP dv9000, im getting huge problems with it :/
[07:27] <Jordan_U> !usplash | SpeakerMania
[07:27] <ubotu> SpeakerMania: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork
[07:27] <arooni> how can i make the terminal font bigger?
[07:27] <SpeakerMania> Thanks
[07:27] <SpeakerMania> Wait... That a bot?
[07:27] <Jordan_U> SpeakerMania, np
[07:27] <Jordan_U> SpeakerMania, Yes :)
[07:27] <SpeakerMania> lol
[07:27] <gonzoism> ok
[07:27] <gonzoism> thanks
[07:27] <gonzoism> night
[07:27] <Frogzoo> arooni: ctrl shift +
[07:28] <Musicman> :/
[07:28] <orbin> Musicman: you're better off telling us the actual problems.  chances that someone has the same pc are small and that someone is active and sees your message, smaller.
[07:28] <n2diy> Frogzoo: will that work if X isn't running?
[07:29] <Frogzoo> n2diy: nope, for that, edit /etc/default/console-setup
[07:29] <n2diy> Frogzoo: Roger roger.
[07:29] <Musicman> Well, I have been attempting to boot from the live cd, and it either a) displays weird patterns when attempting to launch into a gui, its all black and white or b) hangs at "Starting Kernel Log..."
[07:29] <Musicman> anyone have something similar?
[07:30] <c0re^> Musicman, only when using my tv for a monitor.
[07:30] <Jordan_U> Musicman, Have you checked the CD integrity ?
[07:30] <Musicman> Well Its straight out of the one I was sent, but I suppose I could
[07:30] <DShepherd> \x6e\x65\x72\x64, ctrl+alt+backspace is a shortcut.. is there a command that you know of that does the same thing?
[07:30] <RAOF> DShepherd: killall X :)
[07:31] <c0re^> i think i have some sort of error with my network. its too coincidental that enemy territory cant find punkbuster, the master server list, and cant connect to steam for updates. but i get online fine and see my own network... weird..?
[07:31] <jeeves__> n2diy:  ok, sorry, I'm back
[07:31] <Jordan_U> Musicman, You might also want to try the alternate install CD
[07:31] <Frogzoo> c0re^: can you ping?
[07:31] <DShepherd> RAOF, is that a joke?
[07:31] <Zelda> Luis: Thanks I got it working again
[07:31] <Musicman> Jordan: What is 'alternate' about it? :P
[07:31] <n2diy> jeeves__: np
[07:31] <c0re^> frogzoo, i actually havent tried that yet, lets see.
[07:31] <jeeves__> n2diy:  want to switch over to #jeeves to chat?
[07:31] <RAOF> DShepherd: No, that's what ctrl+alt+backspace does.  Kills X and then GDM restarts it.
[07:31] <Jordan_U> Musicman, It uses a text based installer and since it does not have to be a LiveCD is much more robust
[07:32] <Musicman> AH
[07:32] <Musicman> that is what I need
[07:32] <Musicman> I can work with text
[07:32] <Musicman> :|
[07:32] <n2diy> jeeves__: it is late here, and I'm tired, but for a couple of minutes, sure.
[07:32] <DShepherd> RAOF, ok.. so killall X is the equiv then?
[07:32] <frederick85> how do you take a screenshot of your desktop
[07:32] <Musicman> I think I may have to update some drivers really, so having that would fix it
[07:32] <RAOF> DShepherd: Yes.  Of course, that's still going to log everyone else off.
[07:32] <Musicman> or atleast allow me to fix it
[07:32] <jeeves__> n2diy:  ok, it's open.
[07:32] <orbin> jeeves__: try pinging crimsun when he's active.  he's helped a few people with sound issues in here
[07:32] <Musicman> :)
[07:33] <c0re^> how do i quickly paste something into a terminal (similar to ctrl+V)
[07:33] <jeeves__> flannel:  you're invited as well
[07:33] <DShepherd> RAOF, oh... not what i want though... hmm...
[07:33] <orbin> frederick85: accessories menu
[07:33] <jeeves__> orbin:  ok, I will.  I'm thinking (since Toshiba is M$'s bitch), it's a case of "bend over and grab your ankles"
[07:33] <Frogzoo> frederick85: press PrtScr
[07:33] <DShepherd> RAOF, there has to be a way.... its linux! :-D
[07:33] <Jordan_U> Musicman, http://releases.ubuntu.com/feisty/ubuntu-7.04-alternate-i386.iso
[07:33] <cbs> how do I change color bit-depths (16/32)
[07:33] <Musicman> OMG
[07:33] <Musicman> wait
[07:33] <c0re^> Frogzoo, well, i can ping but i dont know the master server ip, or the ips of the other servers
[07:33] <Musicman> I have been trying to install a 32bit install
[07:34] <Musicman> on a 64bit machine
[07:34] <Musicman> D:
[07:34] <Frogzoo> c0re^: ctrl shift v
[07:34] <Musicman> !!
[07:34] <cbs> music: use linux32
[07:34] <Madpilot> Musicman, a 32bit install will work on 64bit architecture...
[07:34] <Musicman> oh
[07:34] <cbs> music term: linux32 sh instller.run
[07:34] <Musicman> :/
[07:34] <Jordan_U> Musicman, You can do that, in fact if you aren't doing any complex math calculations you should :)
[07:34] <RAOF> Musicman: Actually, that should work.  Since your 64bit machine can also run 32bit code just fine.
[07:34] <c0re^> Frogzoo, thanks, but what about the network thing? i can ping, and the master servers are up, because they work fine on my windows box.
[07:35] <Musicman> well I will download that .iso and see if that helps
[07:35] <Musicman> thanks
[07:35] <Jordan_U> Musicman, np
[07:36] <c0re^> Frogzoo, did you get my last message?
[07:36] <cbs> whats the command to set color to 32- or 16-bit?
[07:36] <GomoX> Hey
[07:36] <DanaG> Odd, when I resume from suspend, vesafb goes all blocky.
[07:36] <Frogzoo> c0re^: ask you questions to the chan
[07:36] <Atook> how can I log in as root temporarily to copy files to /lib/firmware?
[07:36] <GomoX> What is the canonical way of making my KDE apps look like the rest of the gnome desktop?
[07:37] <DanaG> And my I/O seems especially slow, at least under Gnome.
[07:37] <c0re^> i can ping, and the master servers are up, because they work fine on my windows box.
[07:37] <GomoX> I have changed the font sizes in the desktop and they don't look alike anymore
[07:37] <Jordan_U> Atook, Just use sudo, sudo nautilus for instance or sudo cp /whatever /wherever/it/goes
[07:38] <DanaG> gksudo is better for gui apps.
[07:38] <cbs> doe anyone know how to change the resolutin bit-depth level?!?!
[07:38] <Jordan_U> DanaG, I have never heard a good explanation of why that is, do you know?
[07:38] <DanaG> I don't actually know myself.
[07:39] <Jordan_U> cbs, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:39] <quarkpup> c0re^: have you tried ctrl+shift+V ?
[07:39] <DanaG> But there's something about it setting the environment up better.
[07:39] <cbs> yikes do I have to go thru the whole xorg config process?
[07:39] <c0re^> quarkpup, for my network problems??!
[07:39] <orbin> cbs: you could just change the DefaultDepth entry in xorg.conf then restart X
[07:39] <Jordan_U> cbs, No, you can also edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf directly
[07:40] <Captain_Haddock> Anybody fancy helping me sort out my samba authentication problems?
[07:40] <RAOF> cbs: Or, you could go System->Preferences->Display
[07:40] <varka> !anyone | Cap
[07:40] <ubotu> Cap: 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?
[07:40] <cbs> I dont have system>preferences>display...
[07:40] <Jordan_U> orbin, Because 24 bits == 32 bits minus 8 bits of alpha channel :)
[07:41] <RAOF> orbin: Because that's 8bits R, G, B.  32bit colour is actually RGB with 8 wasted bits :)
[07:41] <exs>  Usually to edit my contact list (in gaim) i'd go to 'documents./gaim', but I use pidgin now and pidgin isn't in 'documents/.pidgin'. Does anyone know where it is?
[07:41] <cbs>  RAOF: what package has the display controls?
[07:42] <orbin> Jordan_U, RAOF: cheers.  ... why does windows specify 32bit then?
[07:42] <Captain_Haddock> varka: :P I can list shares fine, But when I try to browse them, I get a "connection to *hieroglphics* failed".
[07:42] <RAOF> cbs: No idea.  It's probably the gnome-capplets packagte though, or something.
[07:42] <homanj> exs: you could try support in #pidgin
[07:42] <Captain_Haddock> varka: This is from the command line with smbclient.
[07:42] <Jordan_U> orbin, Because windows is stupid :)
[07:43] <Captain_Haddock> varka: I can't access it from my Windows box either.
[07:43] <homanj> eXistenz: ah, nvm. i see you are already there.
[07:43] <RAOF> orbin: Because 24bpp is generally supported internally as 32bpp (because it's then 4 bytes rather than 3, which is nicer)
[07:43] <exs> homanj:  yeah got the answer now, thanks
[07:43] <cbs> lol, i finally get that and now it seems silly
[07:43] <orbin> Jordan_U, RAOF: cheers again :)
[07:43] <anethema> hey i enabled the nvidia driver, and installed a couple updates
[07:43] <anethema> and now my mouse doesnt work
[07:44] <anethema> keyboard is fine, they are both USB
[07:44] <Captain_Haddock> Anybody? This is really driving me up the wall :(
[07:44] <anethema> anyone have this problem?
[07:44] <cein> what kind of mouse?
[07:45] <bimberi> Captain_Haddock: have you set up the Samba client password "sudo smbpasswd -a <username>" ?
[07:45] <anethema> its a logitech g7
[07:45] <anethema> was working fine when i installed (like 10 mins ago)
[07:45] <Captain_Haddock> bimberi: yes and also tried to enable the user using the -e switch
[07:45] <bimberi> hm
[07:45] <puzzle> bye guys :D
[07:46] <anethema> but i clicked desktop effects, its said it needed nvidia driver
[07:46] <DanaG> Odd, I plug in my soundcard and Pulseaudio dies.
[07:46] <anethema> and i enabled it, fine
[07:46] <Captain_Haddock> bimberi: would you like to peruse my smb.conf file?
[07:46] <Atook> Ayuh, still messing w/ permissions. Can I copy files to lib/firmware using a GUI only? Can't find a way to log on as root just to copy the files.
[07:46] <anethema> did a ctrl-alt-backspace to re-do X, and mouse still worked
[07:46] <anethema> so dont actually think its nvidia
[07:46] <anethema> but a bunch of other updates happened to
[07:46] <anethema> too
[07:46] <anethema> and it said it needed a full reboot
[07:46] <anethema> so i did that
[07:46] <anethema> now no mouse
[07:46] <bimberi> Captain_Haddock: put it on the pastebin.  I'm no expert on them though.  You could try #samba too
[07:46] <DanaG> Oh wait, it just got stuck for 30 seconds.
[07:46] <anethema> cursor is there, but no mouse movement
[07:47] <Jordan_U>  Atook press alt+F2 ( for a run dialog ) and run "gksudo nautilus"
[07:47] <anethema> anyone have any ideas for me to try ?
[07:47] <bimberi> Captain_Haddock: I like that nick btw.  I read TinTin to my kids :)
[07:47] <Captain_Haddock> bimberi: ah I wasn't aware of #samba :o Thanks!
[07:47] <Captain_Haddock> bimberi: hehe, aye :)
[07:48] <bimberi> Captain_Haddock: np :)
[07:48] <anethema> in xorg.conf the driver is 'mouse' and the protocol is ImPS/2
[07:48] <Captain_Haddock> bimberi: Peter jackson and Steven Spielberg are apparently teaming up to make a TinTin movie btw :)
[07:48] <anethema> is that right? i cant even browse to check
[07:48] <Frogzoo> Captain_Haddock: somewhat OT imo
[07:48] <bimberi> Captain_Haddock: Thundering Typhoons!  Really!  ;P
[07:48] <Captain_Haddock> Frogzoo: yes, I shut up now :)
[07:49] <bimberi> yes, /me will stop the OT now
[07:49] <anethema> anyone? im stuck here :(
[07:49] <cbs> heh you know, when i used to be on windows, facing almost any problem, I felt helpless....on linux, I have to confidence to know if somehting doesn't work, I can always rewrite it :P
[07:49] <Frogzoo> anethema: mouse not working? what type is it?
[07:49] <cbs> hence, the atmosphere in here is very relaxed
[07:50] <anethema> Frogzoo: it is a logitech g7
[07:50] <anethema> was working just fine when i installed
[07:50] <anethema> some updates ran and said they needed a reboot
[07:50] <anethema> a full reboot
[07:50] <anethema> after i did that, no mouse movement
[07:51] <anethema> any idea?
[07:51] <Frogzoo> anethema: noone's going to help you if you just ignore questions
[07:51] <anethema> what question did i ignore
[07:51] <HiddenHax> anyone know a good scanning program?
[07:51] <HiddenHax> for a scanner
[07:51] <anethema> you asked what kind of mouse, i said logitech g7
[07:51] <Frogzoo> HiddenHax: apt-cache search sane
[07:52] <Jordan_U> Frogzoo, I havn't seen him ignore any questions ?
[07:52] <HiddenHax> thanks
[07:52] <Frogzoo> anethema: kk, soz
[07:53] <bimberi> HiddenHax: Ubuntu installs xsane by default.  Applications -> Graphics -> XSane Image Scanner
[07:53] <Frogzoo> anethema: what's the mouse device in xorg.conf ?
[07:53] <anethema> the driver?
[07:53] <anethema> is 'mouse'
[07:53] <anethema> oh
[07:53] <anethema> device
[07:53] <anethema> /dev/input/mice
[07:53] <anethema> its a usb mouse
[07:53] <NrbelexUbuntu> What's the best program to map buttons like fast forward & play on a laptop?
[07:53] <Frogzoo> anethema: there'll be a line like Option          "Device"        "/dev/input/mice"
[07:53] <anethema> yeah thats what it is
[07:54] <Frogzoo> anethema: 'sudo cat /dev/input/mice' & wiggle the mouse - do you get output ?
[07:54] <Toma-> NrbelexUbuntu: system>prefs>keyboardshortcuts ?
[07:54] <anethema> no nothing
[07:55] <anethema> i tryed xev but couldnt get the xev window under the cursor, dont know how to move it without the mouse
[07:55] <anethema> haha
[07:56] <taime1> !fonts
[07:56] <NrbelexUbuntu> Toma-, that didn't have any effect on Amarok
[07:56] <ubotu> Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer
[07:56] <anethema> no ideas Frogzoo ? :)
[07:56] <cbs> Im on AMD64, does that make a difference when trying to find what applet ubuntu came with to change color bit-depth?
[07:57] <anethema> how does /dev/input/mice know which usb location to look for ?
[07:57] <RAOF> cbs: No.
[07:57] <cbs> im wary of editing xorg...
[07:57] <crimsun> anethema: it doesn't care. It's an input muxer.
[07:57] <anethema> hah fsck i fixed it, i inplugged it from that usb port and used another
[07:58] <Atook> Jordan: thanks for the help so far. I got the package in the lib/firmware/2.6.20-15-generic folder, but now when I run sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter, it cant find package bcm43xx-fwcutter
[07:58] <anethema> no idea why, but ok
[07:58] <anethema> heh
[07:58] <Frogzoo> anethema: looks like I've found a post with a fix, just a moment
[07:58] <anethema> Frogzoo: it works now, i just inplugged the mouse and moved it to another port
[07:58] <Jordan_U> cbs, Then use sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg     if you hit return for everything but color depth then that is all that it will change
[07:58] <cbs> RAOF: Could I change default depth, then alt+f2, then back to alt+f7.....as in will this reload x to the desired bit-depth without restart
[07:58] <RAOF> cbs: Oh, sorry System->Preferences->Screen Resolution doesn't do bitdepth.  What do you want to change it to though?  It *really* is as easy as changing the DefaultDepth in xorg.conf
[07:59] <cbs> oh
[07:59] <RAOF> cbs: No, all xorg.conf changes require a restart becaus X is crap.
[07:59] <cbs> im trying to lower it to 16 for compat issues with a wine app
[07:59] <Jordan_U> cbs, No, you need to actually restart X for the bit depth to change :(
[07:59] <cbs> how do I do that....reboot?
[07:59] <cbs> no other way?
[07:59] <Frogzoo> anethema: heh
[07:59] <Jordan_U> cbs, No, press ctrl+alt+backspace
[07:59] <cbs> then?
[08:00] <cbs> it just resets it?
[08:00] <Jordan_U> cbs, That will restart X, you will be at a login screen
[08:00] <anethema> thanks for your help Frogzoo
[08:00] <cbs> k
[08:00] <roberto> heyt
[08:00] <AirHead30> I need to know how to set my resolution to 1280x800 through Preferences > Screen Resoltion. I know this is a common question but all the forums offer is to change xorg.conf, which already has everything set to 1280x800. I'm using Ubuntu 7.04...
[08:00] <cbs> let me try it on :)
[08:00] <Jordan_U> cbs, But I would think that wine would be able to lie to applications that needed a lower bit depth
[08:00] <roberto> hay alguien que hable espaol?
[08:01] <Madpilot> !es | roberto
[08:01] <ubotu> roberto: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[08:01] <Flannel> !es | roberto
[08:01] <roberto> sale gracias
[08:01] <Frogzoo> anethema: yw, glad you got it working
[08:01] <cbs> well, I would too, but im not sure how to do it
[08:01] <Jordan_U> AirHead30, What kind of card ( ATI , Nvidia, intel )?
[08:01] <AirHead30> GMA950.
[08:01] <anethema> yeah, really simple..hope i dont have to do it every bootup :)
[08:01] <orbisvicis> how do i start up a nfs client in ubuntu ?
[08:01] <Jordan_U> AirHead30, Install 915resolution
[08:02] <Frogzoo> AirHead30: sys -> prefs -> resolution doesn't work for you?
[08:02] <Madpilot> Flannel, nice to know I'm not lagged - having some sort of 'net connection issue...
[08:02] <AirHead30> Frogzoo: The highest it displays is 1024x768
[08:02] <Jordan_U> AirHead30, You don't need to edit your xorg.conf at all, just install 915resolution and restart X
[08:03] <AirHead30> Okay, thanks.
[08:03] <Frogzoo> anethema: you can try this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21793/
[08:05] <taime1> after i copied a font into /usr/share/fonts, the font appears only as a hidden file, and when i go to right click it, it disappears, what gives?
[08:06] <AirHead30> Alright, 915resolution is installed. Now just restart X. With Ctrl+Alt+F12?
[08:06] <Jordan_U> AirHead30, No, with ctrl+alt+backspace
[08:06] <AirHead30> Mmkay, thanks for the help.
[08:06] <Jordan_U> AirHead30, np
[08:07] <orbisvicis> also how to get an nfs server ... the network package in synaptics has me uninstall too many packages
[08:07] <NrbelexUbuntu> Hi, I'm running Gnome and I'm trying to get the play, next, etc. buttons on my laptop to work with Amarok. Using prefs-> keyboard shortcuts and Amarok's "Configure Global Shortcuts" did not work... any thoughts?
[08:08] <taime1> why cant openoffice see my new font? i refreshed the font cache and even restarted x
[08:08] <taime1> it worked fine on the box sitting right next to it using the same method
[08:09] <RAOF> NrbelexUbuntu: That's a problem with Amarok (if you're running Feisty, aka Ubuntu 7.04).  They haven't updated Amarok for the new Gnome MMkeys API
[08:09] <aaaaa> aa
[08:09] <NrbelexUbuntu> RAOF, I see, thanks - so should that be fixed with their next update?
[08:10] <Atook> Jordan: thanks for the help so far. I got the package in the lib/firmware/2.6.20-15-generic folder, but now when I run sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter, it cant find package bcm43xx-fwcutter
[08:10] <Miso> Are there any programs such as izimi for windows that will allow me to serve files from my computer using ubuntu
[08:10] <Madpilot> Miso, which protocol does 'izimi' use?
[08:10] <NrbelexUbuntu> Atook, refresh your repositories
[08:11] <Atook> nrbelex: How?
[08:12] <Miso> madpilot: what's a protocol?
[08:12] <zoidberg> hey guys is there a good linux N64 emulator?
[08:12] <NrbelexUbuntu> Atook, sudo apt-get update I think
[08:12] <Madpilot> Miso, does izimi use ftp, bittorrent, emule, or what? How does it share it's files?
[08:12] <Jordan_U> Atook, You need to allow community maintained software ( universe ) with System -> Administration -> Software Sources
[08:13] <Jordan_U> zoidberg, Yes, mupen
[08:13] <Frogzoo> zoidberg: apt-cache search n64
[08:13] <Atook> Jordan: it's checked, but I have no net access on the ubuntu machine yet.
[08:13] <RAOF> NrbelexUbuntu: Quite possibly not.  Amarok is a KDE app, and they don't particularly care for the Gnome integration.  However, KDE is getting DBUSified, and this should make fixing Amarok easier in the future.
[08:13] <Cronus> I'm a frist time user and I was trying to install Ubuntu and I got it to boot but when I clicked the buttons to start the install I got an error that said kernal error. Can anyone help?
[08:13] <Miso> madpilot: it serves them directly from your computer, with a clickable link - it uses your bandwidth, like setting up a web server with apache, which i don't know how to do
[08:14] <DanaG> Any idea if there will ever be a Gnome app like Amarok?  "Exaile" doesn't do it for me -- no folder-based organization.
[08:14] <NrbelexUbuntu> RAOF, thanks
[08:14] <Madpilot> Miso, ah, OK. Setting up an apache server is relatively simple in Ubuntu - running one (securely) is another matter - but that's one idea
[08:14] <Jordan_U> Atook, Ahh, did you put the firmware in /lib/firmware ( you may need to reload the wireless driver for it to recognize it or just reboot )
[08:14] <Atook> Jordan: I don't see any files name bcm43xx-fwcutter in the zip you gave me, is that the problem?
[08:14] <Atook> Jordan: I'll try a reboot, thanks.
[08:15] <Miso> madpilot: any other ideas on how i can serve files that way with ubuntu?
[08:15] <Jordan_U> Atook, No, bcm43xx-fwcutter just grabs the latest firmware and puts it in /lib/firmware  you are just doing it manually
[08:15] <orbin> DanaG: why not just run amarok?
[08:15] <tarelerulz> Do any of you know of an yahoo Linux client that does web cam and voice
[08:15] <AirHead30> Jordan_U: I installed 915resolution and I'm still stuck at 124x768...
[08:15] <AirHead30> *1240
[08:15] <DanaG> I do, for now; but the lack of integration of QT with GTK bugs me.
[08:16] <Jordan_U> AirHead30, Strange, it's an intel card correct?
[08:16] <DanaG> There's also the xserver-xorg-video-intel driver.
[08:17] <Miso> AirHead30: have you tried  sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg and selecting the resolution you want?
[08:17] <Madpilot> Miso, most secure thing to do would be to get webspace somewhere - that keeps people off your home computer
[08:17] <Miso> madpilot: ok, thank you
[08:17] <Jordan_U> AirHead30, Maybe it is using the wrong driver, try running: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh" and choose 810 ( I think ) when it asks what driver to use
[08:17] <AirHead30> Miso: That's not the problem. xorg.conf actually has 1280x800 as the only resolution under 'Modes' in all subsections.
[08:18] <AirHead30> How do I use 915resolution?
[08:18] <Jordan_U> AirHead30, You don't, it should "just work"
[08:19] <taime1> i am unable to delete a file... nautilus says it doesnt exist
[08:20] <AirHead30> Well then that becomes a problem >.>. I'm completely sure it's a GMA950, an Intel card. It's mobile, if that matters...
[08:20] <Jordan_U> AirHead30, Did you try setting the driver to i810 with : sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh
[08:20] <DanaG> Shouldn't it be "Intel" rather than "i810"?
[08:20] <AirHead30> No, I will though.
[08:20] <Atook> Jordan: Reboot FTW! Thanks for all your help!
[08:21] <Jordan_U> Atook, np :)
[08:21] <GeorgeAScott> can i downgrade without reinstalling?
[08:21] <Jordan_U> DanaG, i810 is the chipset for intel cards, I don't think there is an "intel" option
[08:21] <GeorgeAScott> say, i change the repositories and such ?
[08:21] <AirHead30> I did sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh, I'll retart X and see what happens...
[08:21] <DanaG> There's xserver-xorg-video-intel
[08:21] <AirHead30> *restart
[08:22] <Jordan_U> !downgrade | GeorgeAScott
[08:22] <ubotu> GeorgeAScott: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system.
[08:22] <GeorgeAScott> break it more you mean
[08:22] <Jordan_U> GeorgeAScott, You could put your /home on another partition and re-install
[08:23] <Jordan_U> GeorgeAScott, What is broken?
[08:23] <GeorgeAScott> i don't have a cd burner, and my old badger cd is scratched to bad to install properly
[08:23] <AirHead30> That did the trick, it added the 1280x800 resolution to the list. :)
[08:24] <GeorgeAScott> i've got a list... but for starters, sound doesn't work unless i trick it, nobody's helped other than pointing me to howto and faqs that i've read and re-read a dozen times..
[08:24] <AirHead30> Thanks again, Jordan_U.
[08:25] <Jordan_U> AirHead30, np
[08:25] <orbin> GeorgeAScott: what release are you running?
[08:25] <GeorgeAScott> my netwrok connection likes to quit working on its own terms... mouse cursors in certain windows (ie. mozilla and OOorg don't appear
[08:25] <GeorgeAScott> fiesty
[08:25] <defrysk> GeorgeAScott, buy a cd burner
[08:25] <Silver> yoo
[08:25] <Steil> yyo
[08:25] <GeorgeAScott> why don't you buy me one
[08:25] <Steil> silver
[08:25] <Steil> come casino bitch
[08:26] <Jordan_U> GeorgeAScott, You can also install from a USB stick if you have one
[08:26] <Steil> hows it going? :)
[08:26] <Steil> er wait
[08:26] <Steil> wrong silver
[08:26] <Steil> sorry
[08:26] <Steil> wrong channel
[08:26] <defrysk> Jordan_U, then you will have to buy him one
[08:26] <GeorgeAScott> if i'm not mistaken, this laptop is too old to boot from usb.  i've checked the bios for that option already
[08:26] <ZippoFluid> Order a cd?
[08:27] <Jordan_U> GeorgeAScott, Floppy? :)
[08:27] <GeorgeAScott> order a cd and i'll get fawn no doubt...
[08:27] <orbin> GeorgeAScott: how'd you install feisty in the first place?
[08:27] <GeorgeAScott> burnt the cd at the nabes place..
[08:27] <GeorgeAScott> would rather just fix it, than do any more burning..
[08:28] <gortba> Hi. Can someone tell me the command to create a compressed copy of my /home directory?
[08:28] <GeorgeAScott> how many floppies would it take to do a network install?
[08:28] <GeorgeAScott> to a previous release that is..
[08:28] <skarevoluti> hi
[08:29] <gortba> anyone?
[08:29] <ZippoFluid> This channel is rather slow tonight...guess it's sunday night
[08:29] <GigaClon> GeorgeAScott, 1000 prolly
[08:29] <Jordan_U> GeorgeAScott, 3 it looks like https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/WithFloppies
[08:29] <ZippoFluid> gortba: I might know, one sec...let me check
[08:30] <gortba> ZippoFluid: Thanks
[08:30] <ZippoFluid> gortba: sudo tar -cf archive.tar contents/
[08:31] <GeorgeAScott> thanks Jordan_U
[08:31] <Jordan_U> GeorgeAScott, np
[08:31] <taime1> i installed a font and refreshed the font cache, and even after rebooting, openoffice cannot see that font, can someone tell me why?
[08:31] <skarevoluti> >:O
[08:31] <gortba> Zippofluid: Is contents/ where I want the tar to be created?
[08:32] <ZippoFluid> gortba: contents/ is the path of the files you want to archive
[08:32] <v3n0m`> hey does anyone run mIRC through emulation?
[08:32] <gortba> Oh ok. So whatever directory I'm in at the time is where the tar will be created right?
[08:32] <ZippoFluid> gortba: archive should be created in whatever dir you were in when you did it....although you should be able to specify
[08:32] <orbin> gortba: that won't be a compressed archive ...
[08:33] <ZippoFluid> gortba: My bad on that, after that use compress
[08:33] <gortba> Oh. ok so how do I compress it after that?
[08:33] <ZippoFluid> gortba: compress
[08:33] <RAOF> ZippoFluid, gortba: Or just go "tar czf archive.tar.gz contents/"
[08:34] <RAOF> gortba: Or "tar cjf archive.tar.bz2 contents/" for bzip2 compression (slower, better)
[08:34] <linxeh> ZippoFluid: compress should be considered deprecated
[08:34] <orbin> gortba: oh, and i'd delete your firefox cache beforehand
[08:34] <orbin> if you want to save space that is
[08:35] <putaro> anybody know of undelete/recovery tools for xfs?
[08:35] <ZippoFluid> linxeh: My mistake...I was trying to help and clearly not knowing as much as I needed to.
[08:36] <linxeh> ZippoFluid: I didn't mean it like that ;-)  there are better compression routines - most people use gzip or bzip2 because they have better compression (especially the latter). 7zip is also getting popular as it is better again (at the expense of speed)
[08:36] <tarelerulz> Do any of you know of yahoo Linux that can do voice or web cams on the yahoo network?
[08:37] <linxeh> tarelerulz: Kopete might be able to
[08:37] <ZippoFluid> linxeh: is bzip2 part of the installed packages, or is that something I'd need to apt-get?
[08:37] <gortba> Thanks everyone!
[08:37] <linxeh> ZippoFluid: I think it is standard these days on most distributions
[08:37] <gortba> have a good night.
[08:38] <linxeh> ZippoFluid: 7zip is in the p7zip package though
[08:38] <linux_probe> type bzip2 --help see if it's installed
[08:38] <ZippoFluid> linxeh: Interesting...Sometimes I just idle in the channel and "listen"...Learn about all these sorts of things...
[08:39] <v3n0m`> anyone emulate mIRC in Ubuntu?
[08:39] <linxeh> v3n0m`: I did once - but it felt wrong
[08:39] <v3n0m`> or what is the most full-featured linux IRC client ?
[08:39] <v3n0m`> haha
[08:39] <v3n0m`> i feel wrong right now trying to use IRC in pidgin
[08:39] <linxeh> v3n0m`: I use kvirc3 now which is comparable to mirc in feel / features
[08:39] <v3n0m`> ok
[08:40] <v3n0m`> ill try that thanks
[08:40] <v3n0m`> are there other cool sites like getdeb.net?
[08:40] <linxeh> other than that there is xchat
[08:40] <ZippoFluid> linxeh: Is Kvirc3 much better than Xchat?
[08:40] <v3n0m`> i've used xchat on windows and it's ok, but is worse than mIRC imo
[08:41] <v3n0m`> probably won't help u ;P
[08:41] <linxeh> v3n0m`: I didnt like the single chat window; but generally xchat is better than mirc (less security bugs, and better scripting support)
[08:42] <v3n0m`> mIRC scripts take care of that =P
[08:42] <linxeh> v3n0m`: not the security bugs
[08:42] <linxeh> ZippoFluid: I think so, but that's partly because I dislike the xchat interface. I havent done any scripting in it though
[08:42] <v3n0m`> i believe there are security scripts..?
[08:42] <v3n0m`> i'm amazed xchat could have better scripting than mIRC
[08:42] <blackjackel_> IS there a gui way of killing processes? Similar to control alt delete on XP windows?
[08:42] <linxeh> v3n0m`: you cannot fix security holes in the core engine with a mirc script
[08:43] <deCon> how do i run an ISO without burning it?
[08:43] <v3n0m`> ya but many are avoided through work-arounds I think.. but I agree it's a weak solution
[08:43] <Captain_Haddock> v3n0m`: mirc works fine under wine
[08:43] <bimberi> blackjackel_: system -> admin -> System Monitor  (Processes tab)
[08:43] <v3n0m`> thanks i'll try it if I can't handle kvirc
[08:43] <orbisvicis> mount it as a loopback device
[08:44] <putaro> blackjackel_: xkill
[08:44] <blackjackel_> bimberi, thank you, is there a handy hotkey for that?
[08:44] <RAOF> There's always irssi :).  Command line, super-scriptable.
[08:44] <v3n0m`> ewww commandline =P
[08:44] <orbisvicis> with the correct type
[08:44] <blackjackel_> hmm, firefox.bin is uninterruptable and I cant kill it
[08:45] <v3n0m`> is cdemu a good solution for mounting img/cue files?
[08:45] <putaro> blackjackel_:open a terminal. type xkill
[08:46] <v3n0m`> are there other websites similar to getdeb.net?
[08:46] <ZippoFluid> putaro: doesn't xkill restart the whole xserver?
[08:46] <Captain_Haddock> it lets you select the window you want to kill using the mouse
[08:46] <putaro> no, xkill gives you a skull and crossbones to kill a window inside of x.  see man xkill
[08:46] <blackjackel> putaro, its asking me which process I want to kill, and implying that if I click on something it will die... but I cannot SEE the firefox process, I can only see it in terminal
[08:47] <Captain_Haddock> blackjackel: in the terminal, type ps -A | grep firefox
[08:47] <rtan> hello
[08:47] <rtan> anybody use antivirus for ubuntu?
[08:47] <Captain_Haddock> then sudo kill -9 process_id_of_firefox
[08:47] <v3n0m`> I don't rtan
[08:47] <ZippoFluid> Captain_Haddock: What does that command do? for future reference. . .
[08:48] <Captain_Haddock> ZippoFluid: the kill ?
[08:48] <ZippoFluid> Captain_Haddock: The second one....ps -A | grep firefox
[08:48] <Captain_Haddock> ps <--- lists all processes
[08:48] <blackjackel> Captain_Haddock, ps -A | grep firefox
[08:48] <blackjackel>  6374 ?        00:04:32 firefox-bin
[08:49] <Captain_Haddock> The | <-- known as a pipe will allow you to use the output from the ps in another command
[08:49] <Captain_Haddock> grep firefox will search for the word "firefox" in the output of ps
[08:49] <v3n0m`> wow 100MB d/l for kvirc =O
[08:49] <v3n0m`> anyone use CDemu?
[08:49] <putaro> blackjackel:sudo kill -9 6374
[08:49] <Captain_Haddock> blackjackel: yep and now type sudo kill -9 6374
[08:50] <blackjackel> what's the -9 for?
[08:50] <blackjackel> Captain_Haddock, putaro: It's still there!
[08:51] <Captain_Haddock> blackjackel: that a kill signal
[08:51] <putaro> blackjackel: the 9 should kill all processes that can be killed
[08:51] <Captain_Haddock> blackjackel: use the ps command and see if it is still there
[08:51] <blackjackel> putaro, Captain_Haddock: I did it, and the process is still there
[08:51] <blackjackel> Captain_Haddock, yep, still there
[08:51] <ZippoFluid> Captain_Haddock: So the pipe is essentially telling the console "For the next command look for the results of the ps" I refer to?
[08:52] <orbisvicis> yay nfs
[08:52] <Captain_Haddock> blackjackel: try again :P
[08:52] <zoidberg> guys i cant play an .mpg file for some reason
[08:52] <zoidberg> do i need to download a special codec
[08:52] <zoidberg> i thought i had all codecs downloaded
[08:53] <Captain_Haddock> ZippoFluid: yep, | is like use output; > is for redirecting output and < is for redirecting input and so on.
[08:53] <v3n0m`> zoidberg: what program are you using as a player?
[08:53] <Captain_Haddock> zoidberg: use VLC
[08:53] <zoidberg> i tried eveyrhting
[08:53] <zoidberg> VLC wont work either
[08:53] <zoidberg> something like cant recognize stream
[08:53] <v3n0m`> probably not a codec issue then
[08:53] <zoidberg> then?
[08:53] <v3n0m`> a problem with the file itself
[08:53] <blackjackel> Captain_Haddock, before, it asked me my password... now it's not doing that anymore and the process is still there...
[08:54] <Nix> Anyone ever get a problem with firefox crashing when there is an embedded video on the page?
[08:54] <Jordan_U> Nix, Yes, flash is unstable
[08:54] <zoidberg> v3n0m`, actually i'm not sure now...when i try to open it with vlc it just doesnt open anything?
[08:54] <AaronCN> I start Azureus, the just close immediately by saying an unexpected error has been detected by Java Runtime Environment.
[08:54] <ZippoFluid> Captain_Haddock: I am sorry if this is, repetative, let me know if I am driving you crazy...So, the pipe is not going to actually include the output in the next command, merely that, it will recognize in this case, 6374 is the process that was found?
[08:54] <v3n0m`> zoidberg: what error does vlc output?
[08:54] <Captain_Haddock> blackjackel: hmm. try typing "top" and see if you can see Firefox there.
[08:55] <zoidberg> v3n0m`, i dunno how can i check?
[08:55] <v3n0m`> zoidberg: lemme see..
[08:55] <krinns> hi all
[08:55] <blackjackel> Captain_Haddock, can't see it. course the window isn't big enough to see everything though...
[08:55] <krinns> is there any way how can have logs for last week traffic on my NIC
[08:55] <v3n0m`> zoidberg: does it just immediately stop and doesn't say anything?
[08:56] <Captain_Haddock> ZippoFluid: You can actually take the meaning of the word "pipe" literally here: Instead of piping the output of ps to the screen, pipe it to the grep command.
[08:56] <AaronCN> I'm using sun java 1.6.0. Is Azureus not compatible with this version of Java?
[08:56] <Captain_Haddock> AaronCN: No, the package is screwed.
[08:56] <ZippoFluid> Captain_Haddock: Ohhhhhhhh....Got it...So, ps -A search all apps. and then take all apps and run it against this var "firefox" to see what comes back...got it.
[08:56] <zoidberg> v3n0m`, yes
[08:57] <Captain_Haddock> AaronCN: get the jar file directly from sourceforge and replace it locally
[08:57] <Captain_Haddock> ZippoFluid: It will make more sense if you run the ps command separately
[08:57] <Captain_Haddock> 9to understand)
[08:58] <Captain_Haddock> AaronCN: wget http://ovh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/azureus/Azureus2.5.0.4.jar
[08:58] <Captain_Haddock> AaronCN: use that to download the file
[08:58] <Captain_Haddock> and then: type sudo mv Azureus2.5.0.4.jar /usr/share/java/Azureus2.jar
[08:58] <r4nge> what's the standard cd/dvd authoring tool for gnome?
[08:58] <Captain_Haddock> to replace the old file with the new one
[08:58] <kraut> moin
[08:58] <AaronCN> Captain_Haddock: OK. Thanks a lot. :)
[08:59] <r4nge> i actually just want to burn a distro iso
[08:59] <zoidberg> v3n0m`, u there?
[09:00] <bimberi> r4nge: right-click on the iso file and select 'write to CD'
[09:00] <r4nge> bimberi, same for dvds?
[09:00] <bimberi> r4nge: yep
[09:01] <r4nge> tx
[09:01] <bimberi> yw :)
[09:01] <Alan_> Arrrg!!!    I've been messing with this all day and can't figure it out.    When I load my wireless kernel module, no device is created (i.e. wlan0)
[09:01] <putaro> Alan_: what kernel?
[09:02] <ZippoFluid> Captain_Haddock: Thanks. Got it now...I am learning in hopes that one day I'll be able to solve at least some of my problems without bothering this channel
[09:02] <Captain_Haddock> ZippoFluid: no problem :)
[09:02] <bimberi> Alan_: perhaps it's eth1 (or the like)?
[09:02] <blackjackel> Captain_Haddock, out of ideas?
[09:03] <GreySim> Hey, I have Ubuntu (Feisty) PXE booting using the method listed on this website, and for some reason I'm unable to adjust my date and time on the Gnome panel. It asks for authentication, but never actually opens the window for making the adjustments. Anyone know how to track down what the problem might be?
[09:03] <GreySim> Oh, right, website: http://www.xs4all.nl/~rjb/fatclient.html
[09:03] <tarelerulz> Can kopete go into yahoo chat rooms?
[09:03] <Captain_Haddock> blackjackel: I suppose so. It is very odd that a kill -9 doesn't work.
[09:03] <blackjackel> Captain_Haddock, ill restart, maybe that would work
[09:04] <Alan_> putaro:  2.6.15.-28    it's a 6.06.1 image
[09:04] <Captain_Haddock> blackjackel: That definitely wil.. You can also try CTRL + ALT + Backspace
[09:04] <slonong> ello
[09:04] <Captain_Haddock> to restart X
[09:04] <Alan_> bimberi:  Na, I only get eth0 and loopback in my /etc/network/interfaces
[09:04] <Gaul> poi
[09:04] <putaro> Alan_: PCMCIA?
[09:04] <Alan_> bimberi: eth0 is definatly my wired
[09:04] <bimberi> Alan_: how about in the output of 'ifconfig'
[09:05] <bimberi> ?
[09:05] <Alan_> putaro: no, usb  - it's the zd1211 module
[09:05] <Alan_> bimberi:  ifconfig and iwconfig show the same
[09:06] <bimberi> Alan_: hmmk :/
[09:06] <GreySim> Alternately, does anyone know if there's a command that launches the time settings window? Or is it part of the panel process, and unable to be explicitly launched?
[09:06] <Alan_> I modprobe -v zd1211 and it loads - lsmod shows it
[09:06] <asicard> How can I change the mounting point /media/disk for my memory stick?
[09:06] <Alan_> but that's as far as it gets
[09:07] <GreySim> asicard: Someone else can probably give you a better answer than I can, but one way to do it is to look into UUID's and fstab.
[09:07] <RAOF> GreySim: The command you're after is "gksudo time-admin"
[09:07] <Alan_> lsmod shows it and it being added to usbcore
[09:08] <bimberi> GreySim: 'gksudo time-admin'
[09:08] <GreySim> Thank you both.
[09:08] <bimberi> hehe, RAOF thrashed me on that one :)
[09:09] <GreySim> Ah, if anyone's curious, the problem was this (I hope a < 3 line paste is okay, sorry if not):
[09:09] <GreySim> (time-admin:21362): libgnomevfs-WARNING **: Unable to create ~/.gnome2 directory: No such file or directory
[09:09] <GreySim> Could not create per-user gnome configuration directory `/root/.gnome2/': No such file or directory
[09:09] <ZippoFluid> How do I kill a command in terminal, like man for example?
[09:10] <GreySim> Which I know what to do about. That was just in case anyone was curious. :
[09:10] <GreySim> :)
[09:10] <putaro> ZippoFluid: just type the letter Q
[09:12] <bimberi> Alan_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/zydas_zd1211
[09:12] <blackjackel> only a restart was able to kill that process
[09:13] <DarthShrine> "If you can get absolutely no sound and you have an onboard sound chip you can try to disable it in the BIOS. This solves the problem is some cases." <--- That's on the wiki, does this mean disable the onboard sound, which I would be trying to use? :S
[09:13] <v3n0m`> I just installed kvirc but it's not in the apps list
[09:13] <ZippoFluid> v3n0m`: I'm told that may not happen immediately. I had the same issue with a program earlier.
[09:13] <blackjackel> Anyone know how to edit webcam settings in ubuntu?
[09:14] <ZippoFluid> blackjackel: There's a program...I have it one sec, I'll tell you the name.
[09:15] <ZippoFluid> blackjackel: Camorama Webcam Viewer. Works w/ Logitech stuff.
[09:15] <ZippoFluid> blackjackel: Need to install drivers too of course. That's just the GUI control end.
[09:16] <v3n0m`> ZippoFluid: k,thx
[09:16] <blackjackel> ZippoFluid, apt-get install camorama webcam viewer?
[09:16] <ZippoFluid> blackjackel: I'm not sure the name of the package. I installed it using add/remove.
[09:17] <ZippoFluid> blackjackel: I imagine if you search the repositories for it you'll find it.
[09:17] <blackjackel> ZippoFluid, searches are returning nothing
[09:18] <asicard> GreySim: My memory stick is not in fstab, it is in mtab. Should I edit mtab?
[09:18] <blackjackel> ZippoFluid, found it :)
[09:19] <GreySim> Hmm. In time-admin, the "Synchronize Now" button is insensitive, though I know the NTP stuff is installed. The time is definitely wrong though. Without using UTC, it's 7 hours fast, and with, it's 15 hours fast. Anyone know how the NTP stuff is supposed to work and/or why the sync button is insensitive?
[09:20] <ZippoFluid> GreySim: Maybe the button needs therapy.
[09:20] <GreySim> asicard: Sorry, I know nothing about mtab, so I'm not the best person to ask. I think someone can give you a better answer overall though.
[09:20] <GreySim> ZippoFluid: Hah. :)
[09:21] <asicard> GreySim: Thanks.
[09:23] <GreySim> Anyone know what command the panel's NTP settings actually uses to sync with?
[09:23] <pibarnas> is autoconf2.60 avaiable for feisty?
[09:24] <RAOF> GreySim: The "Synchronize Now" button is only available if you're *not* automatically syncing.  For reasons which escape me :)
[09:25] <GreySim> Weird. If I am automatically syncing, it's not working right at all then. 'ntpdate' by itself says no servers can be used though.
[09:25] <RAOF> pibarnas: autoconf-2.61 is the default version in Feisty, and *should* be compatible with 2.60 :)
[09:25] <Frogzoo_> GreySim: ntpd it seems
[09:27] <orbisvicis> anyone know how to bind keys to commands?
[09:29] <|Zippo|> someone is using Beryl 3.0 + GIT from trevio???
[09:29] <johns^> orbisvicis: use gconf-editor
[09:30] <RAOF> |Zippo|: More people in #ubuntu-effects than here :).
[09:30] <orbisvicis> got it, thanks
[09:31] <ZippoFluid> RAOF: You seem to really know a lot of stuff, is there any particular book you might suggest that would help me get more acquainted with Ubuntu or w/ terminal and gnome in general?
[09:31] <v3n0m`> I was going to use this to mount my cue files, unless anyone here has a better solution: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=144236&page=2
[09:31] <FP> Buongiorno a Tutti
[09:32] <RAOF> ZippoFluid: I've actually never read such a book, so I can't recommend one :).  Basically I just hung around, fiddled with stuff, tried to fix some stuff, etc.
[09:33] <RAOF> ZippoFluid: Although I belive that there *are* some good Ubuntu books out, I just haven't read them :)
[09:33] <mboman> Where can I find 'sunbird' ?
[09:33] <v3n0m`> I mean this -http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=144236
[09:33] <john_watson> 
[09:33] <ZippoFluid> RAOF: Thanks, I just figured the chan was dead, so now might be a good time to ask someone who knew.....I'll check the local bookstore
[09:34] <AaronCN> Can anyone recommend some BT download website? Thank you . :)
[09:34] <john_watson> Are there C++ IDE like Visual Studio in Ubuntu?
[09:34] <ub12> what's the command to see how much disk space is used and what is using it?
[09:35] <v3n0m`> AaronCN: www.slyck.com (look at the lists on the right side)
[09:35] <EADG_>  du -h | less
[09:35] <AaronCN> v3n0m`: cool :) thanks. :)
[09:35] <DarthShrine> I'm having sound problems on my Toshiba laptop (no sound at all, driver is loaded, etc, etc) lspci calls it: "Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller" How would I fix this?
[09:35] <john_watson> Is there C++ IDE like Visual Studio in Ubuntu?
[09:37] <ZippoFluid> EADG_: What does less do?
[09:37] <john_watson> Is there C++ IDE like Visual Studio in ubuntu?
[09:37] <ub12> john_watson, What IDE are you using in Ubuntu now?
[09:37] <EADG_> ZippoFluid: displays a page at a time if there's more than one.
[09:38] <ZippoFluid> EADG_: Simple enough...=)...Thanks.
[09:38] <john_watson> i used    VS,but i don't know what IDE in linux
[09:39] <dimebar> john_watson: have you looked at Anjuta?
[09:39] <john_watson> anjuta?
[09:39] <Darkhack> I would Anjuta for GNOME and KDevelop for KDE.  Both should be in the repositories.
[09:43] <john_watson> THX
[09:43] <Alan_> bimberi:  Thanks for the link - it's old but had some bits in there that were worth checking into - as far as the kernel module source goes, they've tried to move them to sourceforge and aren't available
[09:44] <nomad111> i just plugged in my external monitor to my laptop running feisty
[09:44] <nomad111> but im not getting full resolution
[09:44] <nomad111> 1680x1024
[09:44] <nomad111> its currently set at 1024x768
[09:44] <nomad111> i have an intel 945gm graphics card
[09:45] <deCon> !resolution > nomad111
[09:46] <Alan_> Is there a system update I can run from the command line?
[09:47] <nomad111> !resolution
[09:47] <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
[09:47] <deCon> how do i install something from a dvd? there is a file called dvd at /media/cdrom0/install , how do i run it, because using sudo /media/cdrom0/install isnt' working
[09:47] <Darkhack> Yes.  "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get upgrade" will update your software.
[09:57] <Alan_> Thanks Darkhack
[09:57] <Darkhack> Do them in that order.
[09:57] <john_watson> Is there anybody use c# in linux?
[09:57] <Darkhack> I don't, but I know you can with Mono.
[09:57] <john_watson> How do you feel mono?
[09:57] <john_watson> How do you feel .net in linux?
[09:57] <Darkhack> You can install Mono from the repositories and MonoDevelop is an IDE designed for it.
[09:57] <Darkhack> I'm sorry John.  I assume that English isn't your first language?  Your question doesn't make sense.
[09:57] <kblin> hi
[09:57] <john_watson> yes,my english is so bad.....,i  am a chinese
[09:57] <Darkhack> Are you asking my opinion on Mono?
[09:57] <john_watson> yes ,opinion
[09:57] <deCon> i can'
[09:57] <Darkhack> I haven't used Mono myself but I know a lot of people who have used it successfully and enjoy it.
[09:57] <deCon> i can't seem to get this installer running, can someone help me out...
[09:57] <deCon> the path is /media/cdrom0/install, but even when i use sudo it says unable to execute: permission denied
[09:57] <john_watson> mono would instead of java  in linux ?
[09:57] <Darkhack> Mono is for C# and Java is for the Java programming language.  It depends on which one you use.  You can use either one you like but most people seem to like Mono better than Java.
[09:57] <RAOF> Mono is not a Java replacement.  And, yes, I would write code for mono rather than java code.
[09:57] <john_watson> oh....
[09:57] <RAOF> You can write mono code in Python, or (ugh) VB.Net, or Boo, or a bunch of other languages.
[09:57] <gnomefreak> thats worse than cursing :(
[09:57] <john_watson> then...java's future is what?
[09:57] <arooni> help!  firebug for firefox doesnt work :(
[09:57] <deCon> umm, please someone help me install matlab from dvd...i can't seem to do it right, it wont let me and i need this for school
[09:57] <Darkhack> Java is being used less and less.  I would go for Mono.
[09:57] <joycetick> anybody know if vista works with vmware server?
[09:57] <RAOF> Java's still useful for web applets, at least until the Silverlight thingy is widely accepted :)
[09:57] <varka> joycetick: it does
[09:57] <joycetick> varka: yay, thx
[09:57] <john_watson> but, c# is microsoft's language, it's more dependent on windows,   it will  work as good as in linux?
[09:57] <Darkhack> It's been a long time since I've seen an applet.  Flash has become the big thing for that kind of stuff.
[09:57] <Darkhack> Although Microsoft has a big influence on C#, they have agreed upon a standard.  You can use Mono with no worries.
[10:10] (jscinoz/#ubuntu) make a script containing cd ~/Desktop make it executable and put it in /usr/bin
[10:10] (jscinoz/#ubuntu) and call it desktop
[10:10] (Darkhack/#ubuntu) Ewww... jscinoz thats the evil way of doing it.
[10:10] (Keneo/#ubuntu) hello, since last update my time is always 1 january 2004 when I log on, after I give ubuntu the time to connect to ntp servers it's back correct
[10:10] (Darkhack/#ubuntu) There is a file specifically for adding aliases.
[10:10] (jscinoz/#ubuntu) I don't know any otherway lol
[10:10] (k1gwb/#ubuntu) ohh I thought there was like an alias command or something :-X
[10:10] (rausb0/#ubuntu) k1gwb: put the alias commands in your ~/.bashrc
[10:10] (Darkhack/#ubuntu) There is an alias command but it is temporary.  Goes away when you reboot.
[10:10] (faileas/#ubuntu) Keneo: i think youe hardware clock is out of batteries
[10:11] (faileas/#ubuntu) >_>
[10:11] (faileas/#ubuntu) <_<
[10:11] (k1gwb/#ubuntu) alias -p command1 command2 or something....I am trying to remember form slackware several years ago though
[10:11] <john_watson> Would microsoft support mono?
[10:11] <jscinoz> guys, i need to restart metacity from tty1, what should i use for --display?
[10:11] <faileas> thats what i get for learning unix on school sun systems
[10:11] <Keneo> faileas: thx :) but I'm actually here for another reason
[10:11] <Darkhack> Do what rausb0 says.  Put it in ~/.bashrc
[10:11] <k1gwb> ohh ok I thought it had a flag that made it persistent...guess not.  Okay I'll do it that way.  Thanks!
[10:11] <john_watson> if mono is work as good as in windows
[10:11] <faileas> Keneo: well you asked, and thats what i think is the issues
[10:11] <john_watson> the no one would use windows
[10:11] <rausb0> k1gwb: and BTW, the alias syntax is: alias name="command -options ..."
[10:11] <faileas> naw
[10:12] <v3n0m`> if I install beryl, can it be enabled/disabled as i please? is there a downside?
[10:12] <faileas> windows has some apps that won't run easily on linux
[10:12] <k1gwb> oh okay thanks.  Like I said, I haven't used it in about 5 years!  thanks guys :)
[10:12] <jscinoz> Simple question guys, what should i put for the --display= if starting metacity from tty1
[10:12] <faileas> if you wanna replace windows you also need to support older runtimes, like MSVB
[10:13] <jscinoz> please guys, i'm stuck running irc from tty1, is it that hard to tell me the correct vairable for --display to have it output to the xserver?
[10:13] <EADG_> jscinoz: try 1
[10:13] <jscinoz> thanks
[10:13] <jscinoz> nope, no xserrver on 1
[10:13] <drift_> can any one help me to get my palm working under linux
[10:14] <EADG_> Hmm, 0 (zero)?
[10:14] <drift_> ?
[10:14] <rausb0> not 1, but :1
[10:14] <rausb0> or :0

[10:16] <trukosh> hi, i want to make a cronjob that runs on first friday of every month. How do i do? I thought of a combination of days of month and weekday like: 0 0 1-7 * 5 -> but this is: Run on 1,2,3,... and on every friday ..
[10:16] <linxeh> do I need to do anything to the totem-mozilla plugin for it to be able to play mp3 links? it just hangs saying "transferring data from <website>" at the moment :(
[10:16] <rausb0> EADG_: :0 is display 0 on the local machine
[10:18] <linxeh> trukosh: could you not use at instead of cron
[10:18] <jscinoz> When i start any application from the panel, either from and icon or the menu gnome-panel crashes, what causes this and how can i fix it?
[10:19] <roopert> hi
[10:20] <Keneo> my ubuntu configuration just hang, and after I pressed ctr+alt+backspace I got some error messages, in a loop every 30sec's. And I had to reboot How can I view them again? In wicht log files do I have to look?
[10:20] <trukosh> i ll think about that linxeh.. thx
[10:20] <roopert> st cercando un aiuto , chi ou aiutarmi?
[10:20] <v3n0m`> jxxxt: thanks, so I guess there's no downside, I installed it, but now I'm getting an xcomposite extension : failed error ... =/
[10:20] <ikonia> Keneo: look in /var/log - especially at the xorg log
[10:20] <linxeh> trukosh: I guess another option would be to make it run every day in the first week of the month, and have the script check it is a friday :o
[10:20] <jscinoz> Is there a way to completely reset the config for gnome-panel and nautilus they are uber screwed up for me
[10:20] <roopert> please i need help
[10:20] <roopert> :)
[10:20] <roopert> to install netsukuku
[10:21] <Keneo> ikonia: It hang after aprox 30mins of running
[10:21] <Keneo> I got an error with ata4 port failed to respond...
[10:21] <ikonia> Keneo: that doesn't change the fact you should really check the logs
[10:21] <trukosh> Yes, linxeh i was about doing it like you just wrote, but i wondered cron isn't able to do this for me.
[10:21] <ikonia> Keneo: check the syslog, ata is disk access
[10:21] <jxxxt> v3n0m: Yes just go to your beryl manager gui and chage you w manager to something you puter likes
[10:21] <Keneo> ikonia: but in what log can I find it?
[10:21] <Keneo> syslog, ok, thx
[10:21] <linxeh> I don't think so, but there might be some clever trick
[10:22] <Keneo> ikonia: it's a bit tricky to find it, since my clock is on 1jan2004 on boot
[10:22] <ikonia> Keneo: thats you problem. Reset your clock and wait for it to hang
[10:23] <linxeh> trukosh: http://www.unix.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=11562
[10:23] <linxeh> trukosh: that seems to have a solution, by wrapping the script with "eval" and using date creatively
[10:23] <v3n0m`> jxxxt: I see thanks, so if I select metacity then it is like turning beryl off I guess.
[10:24] <Keneo> ikonia: it should be in between here, but there is nothing there in syslog: May 21 09:46:28 neo -- MARK --
[10:24] <Keneo> Jan  1 01:35:31 neo syslogd 1.4.1#20ubuntu4: restart.
[10:24] <jxxxt> v3n0m: Yes zactly
[10:25] <v3n0m`> jxxxt: it does not allow me to change to beryl, only compiz and metacity, and I'm not sure what I can do with compiz that I can't with metacity, mainly I wanted to see that cube effect  =p

[10:29] <rausb0> ubuntubeginz: i still don't know what you mean
[10:29] <ubuntubeginz> Hi is this possible to do...or not..thanks
[10:29] <nafis_devlpr> ikonia: whats the package name??
[10:29] <ikonia> nafis_devlpr: what version of ubutu are you using ?
[10:29] <rausb0> ubuntubeginz: you mean you want the cursor below the shell prompt, in the next line?
[10:29] <nafis_devlpr> ikonia: 7.04
[10:30] <ubuntubeginz> rausb0: yeah... dats it
[10:30] <ikonia> nafis_devlpr: if you visit https://help.ubuntu.com and look at the playing movies help it lists the codecs and how to install them
[10:30] <li> what is the differences between rm and rmdir when del the folder ?
[10:30] <rausb0> ubuntubeginz: should be possible by setting the PS1 shell variable properly

[10:30] <horde_> Hi, I'm running SABnzb and connect to its interface with a web browser at localhost:8080 (usually).  Sometimes, like now, going to that address times out...I've tried switching ports.  Don't know if the trouble is connecting or if it's the program's fault.  Any ideas?
[10:31] <ikonia> li rm doesn't delete a directory, rmdir is just an alias to rm -r
[10:31] <drift_> does any one here know how to get an palm to work in linux???????????????//
[10:31] <ikonia> ubuntubeginz: you'd still need the codecs
[10:31] <ubuntubeginz> rausb0: where can find the PS1 vairble
[10:31] <mo0osah> I uninstalled some themes from superkaramba and now when I go back to install them... i says they're already installed
[10:31] <ikonia> ubuntubeginz: its in your shell echo $PS1
[10:31] <roopert> hi i have 1 problem
[10:32] <roopert> my problem is

[10:32] <roopert> sorry
[10:32] <li> yes ,i used rmdir when del it
[10:32] <rausb0> ubuntubeginz: look at "man bash" to see which can be put into PS1, a simple example would be: export PS1="[\u:\w] \n"
[10:33] <ikonia> roopert: if your building software you need to know what your doing, the problem you have is it wants headers that don't exist
[10:33] <ubuntubeginz> ikonia,rausb0: lemme try and come back...
[10:33] <roopert> ikonia thanks
[10:33] <nafis_devlpr> there is no vlcplayer

[10:34] <misled> OMG.. I just saw my other id leave the room.. but it hasnt been there for 15 mins

[10:38] <danny3793> would someone like to help me with this command: "g++ -I/usr/include/CEGUI -I/home/daniel/Desktop/CEGUI-0.5.0/Samples/common/include -c "Sample_FirstWindow.cpp" -o "Sample_FirstWindow.o" "
[10:39] <ikonia> danny3793: thats a g++ build command normally invocked by a makefile - what is the problem with it
[10:39] <drift_> is any one going to answer my Q?????
[10:39] <danny3793> i need to compile as an executable but i dont know what i should fix in there to make it an executable
[10:39] <ikonia> danny3793: is it erroring ?
[10:40] <drift_> thats nice
[10:40] <danny3793> ikonia: hello again :P, well it started with Anjuta, i am trying to compile a sample of a GUI API, no im not getting errors, its just compiling into a .o file and not making an actual executable
[10:40] <kblin> hi folks.. I'm running dhclient against a win2k3 dhcp server and I don't seem to be getting the domain name.. where does dhclient log to?
[10:40] <ikonia> danny3793: thats because its an object file
[10:40] <ikonia> kblin: is the server offering the domain name ?
[10:40] <misieq> hi, i'm having a problem with ivtv driver. i have cx23416 chip and already properly compiled the driver, but i have no /dev/video device
[10:41] <kblin> ikonia, that's what I'm trying to figure out
[10:41] <danny3793> ikonia: i figured, but its not supposed to be an object file, its supposed to be an executable :P, so what should i replace in my command i pasted above to get it to compile as an executable :P
[10:41] <joycetick> im trying to run the vmware-server install file (perl) and it keeps saying this "sudo: vmware-install.pl: command not found"
[10:41] <ikonia> kblin: you need to speak to the windows server administrator then
[10:41] <li> why i can't see the chat words the end of the sentences
[10:42] <ikonia> danny3793: something doesn't build as an object if its meant to be an executable. To make sure run "file" against the object and see what it reports. After that you'll need to get support from the maintainers of software source your trying to build against
[10:42] <rausb0> joycetick: sudo ./vmware-install.pl
[10:42] <danny3793> ikonia: do you mean i should attempt to run the .o?
[10:42] <rausb0> joycetick: the current directory "." is normally not in the PATH variable
[10:42] <ikonia> danny3793: no, you should run "file" against the object to make sure it has actually built as an object
[10:42] <kblin> ikonia, that'd be me. :) not that I have a clue about windows stuff
[10:43] <danny3793> kk, lemme go do that
[10:43] <kblin> ikonia, nm, I'll just have a look at what the server sends on the wire then
[10:43] <ikonia> kblin: take your windows config to ##windows see what they can / can't confirm
[10:43] <joycetick> rausb0: ah ok, thanks
[10:44] <li> why i can't see the words the end of sentences when chat with xchat ?
[10:45] <danny3793> ikonia: ok, i just ran file Sample_FirstWindow.o, and it says this: "Sample_FirstWindow.o: ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped"
[10:45] <ikonia> ok, so it is an object
[10:46] <danny3793> ikonia: well in the command that anjuta is running above it is making it into an object with -o, what should i replace -o with to make it into an executable to see if it is just compiling wrong
[10:46] <v3n0m`> linxeh: where's my kvirc =p
[10:46] <Wooombat> Hello! I need help - can`t install Feisty on my laptop - Roverbook Navigator B530. Live CD work just fine, but after the setup it doesnt boot. I just see BusyBox and thets all. I googled it and found that it could be silly SiS 650 chipset that causes the problem. Can anybody help me? Thanks.
[10:46] <ikonia> danny3793: things like that are dangerous to change, I suspect if you really believe this is not meant to be an object file (I think it probably is) you should take it to the source code maintainers and ask for advice/change there as this isn't an ubuntu issue
[10:47] <v3n0m`> Wooombat: what's BusyBox?
[10:48] <Wooombat> v3n0m` - i suppose some debian`s command line
[10:48] <ikonia> no
[10:48] <ikonia> its a mini linux environment
[10:48] <nuu> v3n0m`: busybox is an all-in-one binary that emulates several commands, typically used on embedded systems where you have space constraints
[10:48] <Wooombat> i dont know )
[10:48] <v3n0m`> =o
[10:48] <nuu> you can customize it to emulate whatever you want it to
[10:48] <v3n0m`> nice
[10:48] <nuu> of course, the more you emulate, the larger it gets. Therefore you have to be careful when planning its implementation on an embedded system
[10:49] <danny3793> ikonia: ok, well im sure changing it to compile as an exe wont crash my comp and set it a fire so i will just go google on what to use to compile the damn thing, because all i need to know is what to replace -o with, and it seems you dont know, thanks for your help though...
[10:49] <Wooombat> So what can i do? it seems that ubuntu doesnt see HDD
[10:49] <v3n0m`> of course =p
[10:49] <nuu> you typically get busybox'd when all else fails at boot
[10:50] <nuu> Wooombat: when you boot into livecd, you can mount/see your disk partitions ?
[10:50] <ikonia> danny3793: thanks for the sly dig, but as I said its quite dangerous to the source codes integrity as something that links against or requires that object will not find it. I'm sad to say, despite your weak attempt to bait me, I'm quite confident I could change that to build an executable, it probably wouldn't work, but yes I do know
[10:50] <Wooombat> Im very new to Linux but i like Ubuntu very much, using it at home... It is such a pity i cant get it working on my laptop
[10:50] <li> Wooombat:what is the detail when install feisty,what is the prompt ?
[10:50] <rausb0> Wooombat: maybe the feisty kernel has problems with the SiS ide controller and the new libata based ide driver
[10:50] <Wooombat> nuu - sure
[10:51] <nuu> Wooombat: are you 100% sure the install went fine ? because if you can boot the livecd on your lappie, and you can mount your disks on your lappie, then nothing leads to believe it shouldnt work when booting natively
[10:51] <rausb0> nuu: btw, is there a way to force the feisty kernel to use the old ide drivers? (without recompiling the kernel)
[10:51] <nuu> Wooombat: the only issue i can think of, is if you're trying to do this from an usb disk, but i assume this is not the case
[10:51] <ikonia> Wooombat: at what point does it fail to boot
[10:51] <Wooombat> nuu - im sure!
[10:52] <nuu> rausb0: depends on whether the ide drivers are compiled as modules or not.....they typically aren't, so as far as i can tell you, nope
[10:52] <nuu> but someone else might know better
[10:52] <nuu> keep asking around ;)
[10:52] <Wooombat> it gets to the progress bar splash. thinks for about 10 mins and thet i get an error about tty
[10:52] <rausb0> nuu: thanks anyway :)
[10:52] <nuu> Wooombat: what precise messages you get when booting ? can you dump these into pastebin?
[10:52] <Wooombat> and then BusyBox loads
[10:53] <danny3793> ikonia: you dont seem to grasp what i have asked of you...I pasted what Anjuta is running, and yes, that file is a .o file BECAUSE anjuta TOLD it to be a .o file. This application is supposed to be a "Sample Window" to display a sample GUI, i know for a fact that it is not supposed to be an object file, so compiling these 2 files will not cause any problems if i try to compile them as executable's and not objects..evidently you didnt f
[10:53] <danny3793> ully read what i was telling you or you would have known this...
[10:53] <nuu> Wooombat: step 1: try seeing if you can get any relevant output (maybe paste it into pastebin for us) from "dmesg" when you get at the busybox prompt
[10:53] <Wooombat> nuu - sure i can, but my laptop is at home at the moment (
[10:53] <sp1d3r> hi thter
[10:53] <sp1d3r> hi there
[10:53] <ianubuntu> my desktop is not quite inline with my monitor (i have a black space, and a bit that falls off on the other side) is there a way to change this within ubuntu as opposed to changing my monitor - because all my other OS's sit fine on the screen
[10:53] <nuu> Wooombat: step 2: hit ctrl+alt+f1/f2/f3 etc until you see a bunch of text being output to the screen, when you see the splash bar
[10:54] <rausb0> gtg
[10:54] <li> why some words hided when use the xchat ?
[10:54] <Wooombat> nuu - what commands should i enter? im kinda newbie )
[10:54] <danny3793> ikonia: compiling 2 files which have nothing to do with any other files that are a part of this GUI will not cause any damage, im sorry to inform you of that...
[10:54] <nuu> that'll switch you to text terminals, where boot output is being displayed. that might give you a hint as to what is really failing during your bootstrap
[10:54] <ikonia> danny3793: I did read it, and I understand what your saying, but whats not clear is why anjuta wants it to be an object file, and why you think a sampler window has to be an executable rather than an object used by another executable to present the window
[10:55] <ikonia> danny3793: its clear you already know everything and believe I'm wrong about everything so I suggest you take this to the source code maintainers or as you where going to do google as this is not an ubuntu issue
[10:55] <nuu> Wooombat: for step 1, i suggest you do "dmesg > dmesg.txt" without the quotes
[10:55] <danny3793> ikonia: because this is supposed to make an actual window, it is not supposed to be an object file used with another program, these 2 files make a blank window, its showing what the GUI does
[10:55] <nuu> Wooombat: that'll output dmesg (kernel debug messages) to a file named dmesg.txt, which you can then upload to pastebin, and give us the pastebin link to check out what happens
[10:55] <Wooombat> nuu - ok
[10:55] <nuu> as for what concerns pastebin,
[10:55] <nuu> !pastebin | Wooombat
[10:55] <ubotu> Wooombat: 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)
[10:55] <ikonia> danny3793: I don't know enough about the package to comment, I suggest you speak to the maintainers
[10:55] <danny3793> ikonia: instead of trying to a smart as* and fling me off onto other things, this does seem to be an issue, but maybe with Anjuta, and its were, not where.
[10:56] <danny3793> ikonia: i can see you dont know much, thanks for the effort though
[10:56] <Wooombat> ubotu - isee
[10:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about isee - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:56] <ikonia> danny3793: I'm not trying to be smart, I'm trying to offer advice and help, and you keep making sly digs that I don't know anything, I'm not the one sat in an os support channel asking how to change a simple object file to build as an executable
[10:56] <ianubuntu> my desktop is not quite inline with my monitor (i have a black space, and a bit that falls off on the other side) is there a way to change this within ubuntu as opposed to changing my monitor - because all my other OS's sit fine on the screen
[10:56] <ikonia> danny3793: I suggest you take it to the package maintainers
[10:57] <gordonjcp> ianubuntu: it's to do with monitor timings
[10:57] <gordonjcp> ianubuntu: check you're running at the same frame rate and resolution
[10:57] <ianubuntu> gordonjcp: how do i check my framerate in ubuntu?
[10:57] <gordonjcp> ianubuntu: if you adjust your monitor it should be stored in a different memory anyway
[10:58] <gordonjcp> ianubuntu: System->Prefs->Resolution
[10:58] <danny3793> ikonia: i believe it should be brought to the people who built the compiler i am using (Anjuta) not the people who made the GUI API..., And sly digs eh? these "sly digs" were thrown at you because you are evidently not grasping what i asked, no problems though, google understand better than any retard, so its all good :)
[10:58] <gordonjcp> ianubuntu: but also check what your monitor says it is running at!
[10:58] <ianubuntu> ahha fixed
[10:58] <ikonia> !ops

[10:58] <ianubuntu> thanks you! 54htz instead of 50 does it :D
[10:58] <Myrtti> wha
[10:58] <elkbuntu> ikonia?
[10:58] <sp1d3r> who

[10:59] <ianubuntu> gordonjcp: thanks :)
[10:59] <Draco_> hello everyone, can someone recommend a good package to use with a tape streamer backup system ?
[10:59] <ikonia> danny3793: its not
[10:59] <danny3793> Yes, it is.
[10:59] <nuu> heh. this is slowly turning into a flame war, i can see
[10:59] <ikonia> it calls g++
[10:59] <ikonia> that is your compiler
[10:59] <danny3793> it is an IDE
[10:59] <ikonia> yes, an ide
[10:59] <gordonjcp> danny3793: have you ever compiled anything before?
[10:59] <danny3793> are we attempting to get technical?
[10:59] <n0n4m3> Draco i'd prolly use a manually written script
[10:59] <danny3793> gordonjcp: yes i have, on windows, not on linux
[10:59] <gordonjcp> danny3793: well, if you're trying to write GUI code, you're going to have to get technical at some point
[11:00] <gordonjcp> danny3793: well in that case, you should know why you get .o files first?
[11:00] <ianubuntu> is there a way to make a shortcut on my desktop to bring up nautilus with the "Computer" view where it shows all the different devices
[11:00] <ikonia> danny3793: then perhaps listen to people who have
[11:00] <gordonjcp> ianubuntu: like the one in the menu?
[11:00] <k1gwb> I wanna know why when I try to install this .deb file it says it conflicts with a package....then i try to remove that package and it won't
[11:00] <Draco> n0n4m3: then im in the poo no idea how to script
[11:00] <danny3793> gordonjcp: attempting to jump into the conversation and nit pick on me when you dont know what was being discussed is dumb, im not coding the GUI, its a GUI API, so please, scroll up if you were even here, it helps alot

[11:01] <ubotu> li:  #ubuntu-jp  #kubuntu-jp 
[11:01] <ianubuntu> gordonjcp: yep
[11:01] <ikonia> guys, I suggest we drop this as its nothing to do with #ubuntu
[11:01] <gordonjcp> danny3793: and I have read the scrollback
[11:01] <gnomefreak> danny3793: anjuta is not a compilier it uses gcc or whatever compilier it needs if you choose to use the compile tool. anjuta is just a normal IDE.
[11:01] <danny3793> gordonjcp: well then not paying attention is really bad....ADD is a big problem?
[11:01] <gordonjcp> ianubuntu: drag the menu item to the desktop ;-)
[11:01] <n0n4m3> Draco try advanced bash scripting guide.. and maybe.. man tar, man mtape, ...
[11:01] <danny3793> gnomefreak: that was stated above :)
[11:01] <trpr> must not be any support requests going on for this conversation to be tolerated
[11:01] <ianubuntu> gordonjcp - dong - there was me rightclicking trying to create shortcut :P
[11:01] <gnomefreak> danny3793: please stay on topic.
[11:01] <n0n4m3> Draco imagine what google found: http://www.bluestream.org/Networking/TapeBackups.htm
[11:02] <gordonjcp> ianubuntu: simple, isn't it?
[11:02] <Myrtti> allrighty kids, go someplace else to chatter
[11:02] <gordonjcp> danny3793: oh, I'm so sorry
[11:02] <Myrtti> this is for support issues, this channel.
[11:02] <danny3793> gnomefreak: i was on topic, i told you it was already stated above, will you please stop taking blind shots in the dark?
[11:02] <Draco> n0n4m3: cool thanks i'll check it out
[11:02] <gordonjcp> danny3793: you're obviously so good at this, I should just drop it entirely
[11:02] <gordonjcp> danny3793: after all, you're the expert, eh?
[11:02] <ikonia> gordonjcp: just walk away, I have
[11:02] <gnomefreak> 05:01 <       danny3793 > gordonjcp: well then not paying attention is really  bad....ADD is a big problem?  <<< not on topic
[11:02] <n0n4m3> Draco as i can see it's a simple 40 or 50 line script, well commented...
[11:03] <danny3793> gordonjcp: im not an expert, but being ignorant is a real big problem
[11:03] <Myrtti> run along...
[11:03] <ianubuntu> gordonjcp - yep, it's just a case of working out all the little things - once i have mastered that i will stick with ubuntu. it's just annoying a bit of my hardware isn't supported (scanner, webcam) but it works well with most stuff out the box
[11:03] <ikonia> no-one is being ignorant except you, can we please stop discussing this
[11:03] <danny3793> gnomefreak: telling me im off topic, is not on topic, so i guess your off topic too?
[11:03] <Myrtti> #ubuntu-offtopic is thataways
[11:03] <gnomefreak> danny3793: stop with the name calling and insulting people
[11:03] <k1gwb> this looks like an aol chat room not a support channel ;)
[11:04] <k1gwb> would it have been offtopic to tell him that "you're" is not a difficult monosyllabic word to spell? :-X
[11:05] <ianubuntu> is there a way to install ariel fonts onto ubuntu (i do hold a windows Xp licence)
[11:06] <gnomefreak> !fonts > ianubuntu | please read the pm from ubotu
[11:06] <frankenstein2> Microsoft deserves a license? :)
[11:06] <gordonjcp> ianubuntu: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=ubuntu+install+arial&btnG=Search&meta=

[11:07] <ianubuntu> i can't find the documentation for enabling restricted codecs :|
[11:07] <ianubuntu> mp3 and the like
[11:07] <Flannel> !restricted | ianubuntu
[11:07] <ubotu> ianubuntu: 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
[11:07] <gnomefreak> ianubuntu: your best bet is to work on one thing at a time
[11:08] <Flannel> especially because then when things go awry, you know excactly what you did that caused it, so you can fix it, instead of "well, it was X or Y or Z"
[11:08] <ianubuntu> gnomefreak: i know - i've got into a mess before :P
[11:09] <gnomefreak> danny3793: now please keep your attitude in a professional manner and take all offtopic topics to #ubuntu-offtopic.
[11:09] <danny3793> gnomefreak: i got your msg the first time, repeating yourself does not help..
[11:09] <ianubuntu> "does not include Tahoma or Arial Narrow" - dang - they're the main ones i wanted :P
[11:10] <gnomefreak> danny3793: just letting you know just in case.
[11:10] <GreySim> ianubuntu: Talking about the Red Hat fonts? Or something else?
[11:11] <misled> Am I in the wrong room asking for help in setting my default mail cleint.. since its Opera and not part of ubuntu package?
[11:11] <gnomefreak> misled: yep try #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:11] <misled> Should I also go into offtopic room?
[11:11] <danny3793> misled: yes your in the wrong channel, Gnomefreak will boot you out, and ikonia will tell you to go to the people who provided you the software.
[11:11] <DarthShrine> I have a Toshiba laptop with the Intel 945GM chipset, which has integrated audio, but I cannot get audio in Ubuntu. It is detected and drivers are loaded. The sound works fine in Windows. Has anybody seen this before?
[11:11] <Myrtti> danny3793: don't be silly, please
[11:11] <misled> OOHhh  Ok :).. Thanks.. :)
[11:11] <ianubuntu> greysim: microsoft ones, and msttcorefonts not having them all
[11:11] <gnomefreak> danny3793: stop.
[11:11] <k1gwb> misled: System > Preferences > Preferred Applications
[11:12] <danny3793> gnomefreak: im just giving him fair warning, stop trying to find reasons to boot me out, i was on topic.
[11:12] <ikonia> byeeeeeeee
[11:12] <misled> Kigwb: thats not working..  when I click link in open office document for example.. it will open FF browers still and wil not open mail client at all.
[11:12] <ianubuntu> can i install an official adobe reader as opposed to the one that comes with ubuntu?
[11:13] <misled> I'll go to offtopic room and see what I can find out. thanks :D
[11:13] <Myrtti> ianubuntu: yes.
[11:13] <tri3axe> how can i make azureus the deafult app to use?  if i try to change the deafult app in firefox, i need to look for the azureus file in filebrowser..but i have no clue where to find the "execute" file
[11:13] <GreySim> ianubuntu: Ah, well, Red Hat recently released some fonts that are supposed to be drop-in replacements for the Microsoft ones. I don't know much about them, but maybe they'll have what you're looking for?
[11:13] <GreySim> Question: I'm using http://www.xs4all.nl/~rjb/fatclient.html for the most part to create a PXE boot setup, and it says to copy /dev into the nfs root. Isn't udev supposed to dynamically create /dev though?
[11:13] <Myrtti> ianubuntu: search for acroreader
[11:14] <ianubuntu> greysim: thanks. i should just be able to copy them over from my 2000 partition
[11:14] <bullgard4> Where does the name 'GLADE' (of Glade Interface Designer) stem from?
[11:14] <ianubuntu> myrtti: thanks
[11:14] <john_watson> synatic
[11:14] <ianubuntu> where are fonts stored in the ubuntu filesystem?
[11:14] <koen_> hi i have a question about setting up a static ip
[11:15] <ianubuntu> myrtti: no package called acroreader found
[11:15] <GreySim> I ask because at "Configuring network interfaces..." I get an error about not being able to create /dev/null.
[11:15] <aenna> hi!
[11:15] <gnomefreak> Myrtti: it was removed in feisty
[11:15] <cjsoftuk_> I'm trying to use awk in combination with unzip -l to list all the filenames in a zip archive.  The problem comes when there's a space in the filename, as unzip uses spaces as separators.  How can I get awk to print from a particular index onwards?  Something like printing all fields higher than index 4, for example.
[11:15] <GreySim> ianubuntu: ~/.fonts/ is one place.
[11:15] <Myrtti> gnomefreak: ah-ha
[11:15] <Madkiss> hum.
[11:15] <koen_> how to determine which gateway adress i should fill in in the network manager
[11:15] <GreySim> ianubuntu: I imagine /usr/share/fonts/ probably stores them system-wide.
[11:15] <aunes> so. to LVM or not LVM. thoughts?
[11:15] <ianubuntu> greysim: thanks
[11:15] <ianubuntu> myrtti: no package called acroreader found
[11:16] <Myrtti> ianubuntu: as gnomefreak said, it's been removed in feisty
[11:16] <ianubuntu> ah okay
[11:16] <aenna> i want to know how i can launch apps one after another but i need them not to be closed when i launch the next one
[11:16] <ianubuntu> is there an alternative, or do I download the rpm from adobe direct
[11:16] <danny> hello
[11:17] <aenna> i used a batch like in ms-dos *.bat but it doesnt work
[11:18] <bullgard4> ianubuntu: Gnome_Search_Tool is your friend.
[11:18] <deCon> umm, can someone help me check something quick
[11:18] <deCon> for some reason, all my sudo commands are having issues being denied and its getting really irritating
[11:18] <ianubuntu> bullgard4: where abouts is that?
[11:19] <bullgard4> ianubuntu: Have you heard about this user-friendly tool?
[11:19] <stefg> deCon: either your user is not member of the admin-group, or your /etc/sudoers is broken
[11:20] <deCon> stefg: is there a way to check if /etc/sudoers is broken?
[11:21] <koen_> Hi! Does anybody know how to determine what gateway adress i have (for setting up a static ip
[11:21] <deCon> stefg: thanks, ill figure it out later, if i continue ill end up smashing my box with a hammer
[11:21] <stefg> deCon: not without root priv's :-). if you are the only user, and this is not member of admin you are locked out.
[11:21] <deCon> bash .playlist denied?!?!! aksdjfkasjfkewieifwefklwejioferwoihteidgj
[11:21] <stefg> deCon: boot in recovery mode and issue : adduser <username> admin
[11:22] <ianubuntu> bullgard4: no
[11:22] <ikonia> koen_: netstat -rn or "route"
[11:22] <deCon> stefg: do i have to set that up? Or by default after install..isn't my user automatically a superuser? using sudo...?
[11:23] <stefg> deCon: of course by default the *first* user is member of admin... but if you add a second one, and delete the first one later you just threw away the key to your box :-)
[11:23] <deCon> stefg: except for moving things and such, most everything in my last session has been denied. "bash: /xxx/xxxx/xxx Permission denied"
[11:23] <bullgard4> I advise you to install this handy tool. Open a Gnome terminal and type  /usr/bin/gnome-search-tool <Enter>.
[11:23] <deCon> stefg: i am the only user
[11:24] <stefg> deCon: what did you tinker with your box?
[11:24] <bullgard4>  ianubuntu:  I advise you to install this handy tool. Open a Gnome terminal and type  /usr/bin/gnome-search-tool <Enter>.
[11:24] <kblin> hm, that's interesting
[11:24] <deCon> stefg: nothing i know of
[11:24] <ianubuntu> bullgard4: thanks
[11:24] <kblin> ntp seems to query ntp.ubuntu.com for time, instead of my local server
[11:24] <deCon> stefg: but now i haven't been able to install a few things, and all kinds of ******* things have been not working as instructed
[11:25] <kblin> how do I stop that? I have my server set up as the only server in ntp.conf
[11:25] <Huijari> hi, does anyone know why i can't get iso8859-1 to work? http://pb.paivola.fi/189

[11:25] <stefg> deCon: there's not much that you can do, if you're locked out of root-priv's... so does sudo not work at all or doesn't it work partly?
[11:25] <deCon> stefg: i'm trying to install something from DVD, that won't work. I'm trying to edit a cron file for setting up an alarm, that wont work. I'm trying to edit or fix that
[11:25] <ikonia> no problem
[11:26] <stefg> deCon: does sudo -s work ?
[11:26] <deCon> stefg: it works for editing commands, but for some reason...either my syntax is poor, or i have no freaking clue
[11:26] <deCon> stefg: sure does
[11:27] <GreySim> kblin: In the "Adjust Date & Time" window of the clock panel applet, you should be able to change servers, and ntp.ubuntu.com should be at the bottom of the list, so just deselect that.
[11:27] <GreySim> kblin: Or as I found out earlier, "gksudo time-admin" if you prefer.
[11:27] <stefg> deCon: so i think your syntax is poor :-)... check in the user-control applet if you are member of admin. and if you are read !root
[11:28] <deCon> !root
[11:28] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[11:28] <deCon> stefg: grrr, i have no time to learn CLI, but everything i need to do uses it and when i seek the information or help on here, it rarely helps, thank you anyway...ill just restart
[11:28] <faileas> o0
[11:29] <faileas> cli isn't that hard ;)
[11:29] <Rage__> faileas: no, its easy.
[11:29] <Rage__> man <command>
[11:29] <kblin> GreySim, it's a X11-less server install
[11:29] <stefg> another brilliant example  how time-consuming having no time to learn is ....
[11:30] <faileas> its easy in general, hell i'm more comfortable in command line in windows even, sometimes ;)
[11:30] <Rage__> Windows does not have a cli
[11:30] <Pijiu> how come I get this error when I try to move a file to another location: Error "Invalid parameters" while copying "/home/chris...????] .rmvb".
[11:30] <GreySim> kblin: Ah, sorry, no clue then. Half of what I know about NTP I just learned here tonight.
[11:30] <bullgard4> Huijari: Your dpkg seems to be all right. So I think you do not need to download more packages. Reboot your computer. Before logging in, readjust your locales using the field in the bottom-left of the splash screen.
[11:31] <Rage__> Pijiu: you might require more escaping, are you letting bash complete for you?
[11:31] <Pijiu> I have no idea what that means
[11:32] <kblin> GreySim, np :)
[11:32] <Haza1> Hello folks, My Ubuntu server lost power over the weekend and im trying to gain access to it.
[11:32] <Haza1> I can SSH into the server and i want to check the status and if its off, switch on remote desktop
[11:32] <Haza1> any pointers?:)
[11:33] <kblin> ah, that figures
[11:33] <kblin> I had to remove the peerstates file
[11:33] <GreySim> So, the exact error I get for my problem is this: "/etc/rcS.d/S40networking: 74: cannot create /dev/null: Input/output error"
[11:33] <ikonia> GreySim: /dev/null should already exist
[11:33] <ikonia> GreySim: its a static node
[11:35] <roopert> hello, exists a kernel dawned of this? 2.6.20-15
[11:36] <GreySim> ikonia: That's what I thought too. And it does exist on in the NFS root that I have. I copied /dev using 'cp -a /dev .' while in the NFS root. Was that not the right thing to do? (Remember, I'm adapting instructions from http://www.xs4all.nl/~rjb/fatclient.html and don't necessarily know what I'm doing. >.>)
[11:36] <john_watson> what is beagle. it use my full system sources...
[11:36] <ikonia> GreySim: whoaaaaaa
[11:36] <ikonia> GreySim: you don't copy /dev
[11:36] <Haza1> Or maybe someone knows the process name for the default remote desktop software bundled with ubuntu?
[11:36] <ikonia> GreySim: sorry, I missed the start of your post, but what (summary) is it your trying to do
[11:37] <SlimeyPete> Haza1: it's vnc. So presumably it'll be "vnc_server" or somesuch.
[11:37] <GreySim> ikonia: Yeah, that's what I thought. But I've used that howto in the past with no problems, so assumed I was wrong in thinking that /dev was created dynamically by udev.
[11:37] <ikonia> GreySim: no no, your spot on
[11:37] <Haza1> SlimeyPete: okay, as i said before i do have ssh access to the server. i just need to get the vnc server running again via ssh :)
[11:38] <vikzx86> How do configure xorg to get the best performance out of beryl from a Intel GMA 950?
[11:38] <stefg> !effects | vikzx86
[11:38] <ubotu> vikzx86: For help with Beryl or Compiz desktop effects, please go to #ubuntu-effects.
[11:38] <GreySim> ikonia: PXE boot a laptop, using an NFS root, so that the programs run on the 1 GHz laptop, rather than the 400 MHz server the way LTSP would set it up.
[11:39] <ikonia> GreySim: got you, in that case you don't need to actually copy across a file system, in the same way. You're spot on that udev sorts out /dev
[11:39] <kevinoops> bbbb
[11:39] <lesshaste>  has anyone found a way to play swf files? I get "compressed sef format not supported"
[11:39] <kevinoops> best way
[11:40] <Frogzoo> lesshaste: tried vlc?
[11:40] <jscinoz> Hey guys whenever i try start a gnome configuration application (e.g gnome-session-properties) gnome-panel crashes and cannot be restarted correctly what can i do to fix this?
[11:40] <GreySim> ikonia: So should I delete /dev, and create an empty mountpoint? Or does udev even need that?
[11:40] <lesshaste> Frogzoo, yes.. doesn't seem to work
[11:40] <ikonia> GreySim: empty mountpoint
[11:40] <Myrtti> delete /dev?
[11:40] <Myrtti> tthats intresting ;-)
[11:42] <JinRoh> hello
[11:42] <Frogzoo> jscinoz: move your .gconf .gconfd .gnome .gnome2 directories somewhere else restart gdm - it's fairly drastic but should work
[11:43] <stefg> jscinoz: you might have a bad applet in your conf. add a new user for testing purposes and see if it's the case with the default settings, too
[11:43] <jscinoz> alright thanks both
[11:43] <jscinoz> the .g* directories are in my home right?
[11:43] <stefg> yes
[11:44] <lkthomas> does ubuntu got a LAMP meta package ?
[11:44] <stefg> !lamp
[11:44] <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+)
[11:44] <guillem101> Do Hard-drive video-cameras work with ubuntu?
[11:45] <pyrohotdog> How can I make my mouse scroll wheel switch workspaces?
[11:46] <pyrohotdog> When over the desktop, that is.
[11:47] <assasukasse> hi all, i have 6Gb used on a 9.3Gb partition for root, when the new release comes out, will i be able to upgrade?
[11:47] <GreySim> Hmm. Still getting the error. Sounds like I may have a general udev problem.
[11:49] <GreySim> The only way I really deviated from that site's walkthrough (and my previously successful adaptation of it) though, is that I used 'cp -a' instead of just 'cp -r' to move all the required directories into the NFS root, and I put /usr and /home in the NFS root as well, rather than sharing them over NFS, as I want no shared filesystems except my 80 GB media drive.
[11:50] <simplylezz> i have this little uninstall problem
[11:50] <simplylezz> i used synaptic to uninstall evolution
[11:51] <simplylezz> but the Menu > Applications > office menu still lists it
[11:51] <simplylezz> how can i remove the entry from there?
[11:51] <glick> excuse me how can i safe delete a harddrive
[11:51] <glick> ?
[11:51] <glick> i.e. destroying all residual data that could be recovered
[11:51] <glick> like write zeros to it
[11:51] <TimGroe> Hey, I don't know if this is the tight place to anounce this, but I have made a new system for building .deb files abit like checkinstall, but more ... structured, you can read about it at http://timg.ws/?p=20
[11:52] <Rage__> glick: cat /dev/zero > /dev/hdx
[11:52] <Rage__> glick: never going to be "safe though".
[11:53] <Rage__> Cos that kind of implies drstroying data.
[11:53] <glick> can i do that on the currently mounted partition
[11:53] <GreySim> So, I'm not very familiar with Launchpad. This spec looks like it was supposed to get done for Feisty, but judging by the lack of updates, is it safe to say that it didn't get done in time? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/ltsp-fat-clients
[11:53] <glick> right well i WANT to destroy the data
[11:53] <glick> not just delete the pointers to the data
[11:53] <Rage__> glick: Must not be mounted.
[11:53] <GreySim> Or is that done somewhere, and I just can't figure out where?
[11:54] <CaptainMorgan> a great helper yesterday assisted me with the borderless window problem I was having... in a terminal I was instructed to do "DISPLAY=:0 metacity --replace", I have found that this borderless window problem happens every time a log out or reboot is performed. How can I make this terminal command permanent? I have already looked at sessions and saved a few times the settings... to no avail. Any ideas?
[11:54] <Rage__> There must be hundreds of apps for destroying data like that.
[11:54] <glick> heh FINALLY upgrading from dapper
[11:54] <Rage__> glick: If you want to kill it so it cant be recovered you want to cat /dev/urandom to it a few times.
[11:55] <Rage__> so "cat /dev/urandom > /dev/hd<letter><part_number>"
[11:55] <Rage__> That sould be ok...
[11:55] <Rage__> I THINK
[11:55] <aunes> I just installed ubuntu server: When I try to start my ssh daemon, I get: Warning: Fake start-stop-daemon called, doing nothing.
[11:55] <glick> heh i just dont want my gf to find my porn
[11:55] <aunes> Any thoughts?
[11:55] <PriceChild> !ohmy | glick
[11:55] <ubotu> glick: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[11:55] <Rage__> glick: what fs you using?
[11:56] <glick> pr0n is a curse word now?
[11:56] <PriceChild> glick, it is not family friendly
[11:56] <nuu> CaptainMorgan: you can instruct your system to perform that on startup by editing your startup scripts, and adding that line
[11:56] <glick> Rage__, reiser
[11:56] <Rage__> Sorry, no idea then.
[11:56] <CaptainMorgan> nuu, can you oblige as to which script is the best choice?
[11:56] <Rage__> On ext3 just rm ing it would be fine.
[11:56] <stefg> CaptainMorgan: do you run compiz? or does that even happen with vaniia 2-D desktop?
[11:57] <CaptainMorgan> stefg, no, neither beryl nor compiz... the thing is - I reinstalled this system yesterday because of problem with b & c. I have decided to live without b & c
[11:57] <nuu> CaptainMorgan: typically, a safe bet is to use /etc/rc.local
[11:57] <glick> what do i need to encode off files?
[11:58] <glick> i mean ogg files
[11:58] <bullgard4> Where does the name 'GLADE' (of Glade Interface Designer) stem from?
[11:58] <orbin> glick: source?
[11:58] <CaptainMorgan> nuu,  my rc.local script does nothing - "exit 0" I am assuming to add my line before this exit line?
[11:59] <glick> orbin, cd
[11:59] <nuu> CaptainMorgan: yes, precisely
[11:59] <orbin> glick: i like grip
[11:59] <orbin> glick: sound juicer comes by default
[11:59] <glick> orbin, grip can do ogg?
[11:59] <CaptainMorgan> nuu, most excellent - thank you
[11:59] <nuu> np CaptainMorgan
[11:59] <glick> sound juicer just lets me extract the wave though
[11:59] <orbin> glick: yep
[11:59] <glick> never mind
[11:59] <glick> heh
[12:00] <glick> nice thanks orbin
[12:00] <orbin> glick: cd qulaity, lossy will give you an ogg file
[12:00] <orbin> *quality
[12:00] <glick> ogg is cd quality and smaller then mp3?
[12:00] <GreySim> Well, ideally I'd like to use Ubuntu for this, but since nobody seems to know how to accomplish this with Ubuntu, does anyone know of any easy(ish) way to get diskless PXE-bootable fat clients working with any distro?
[12:01] <sipior> glick: they're comparable
[12:01] <stefg> GreySim: looked at edubuntu?
[12:01] <orbin> glick: i meant choosing "cd quality, lossy" in sound juicer will give you an ogg file
[12:01] <glick> damn thats amazing, open source sofware is always like 10 times better then proprietary shistuff
[12:02] <yobrien> hello world
[12:02] <GreySim> stefg: I can get LTSP working on plain Ubuntu just fine. My problem with it is that the apps run on the server, which in my case is a 400 MHz PII, rather than the client, a 1 GHz laptop with no HDD or CD drive (suspect a busted IDE system).
[12:03] <aunes> how can I get ubuntu server (fiesty) to fetch things remotely when doing apt-get?
[12:03] <yobrien> whats LTSP?
[12:03] <orbisvicis> aunes ssh
[12:03] <Slart> !ltsp
[12:03] <ubotu> LTSP is the Linux Terminal Server Project, which adds thin-client support to Linux servers. See chapter 3 of the !edubuntuhandbook, http://www.ltsp.org and/or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Terminal_Server_Project
[12:03] <aunes> orbisvicis, its still doing it even with ssh
[12:03] <GreySim> It seems there are specs and preliminary code for what I want, but they're not done yet. https://wiki.edubuntu.org/LTSPFatClients https://code.launchpad.net/~ogra/ltsp/feisty-fat-clients
[12:03] <stefg> GreySim: yeah, i've read that... so you want to boot over the net, but run the apps locally (still being loaded over the net)
[12:04] <GreySim> yobrien: Linux Terminal Server Project.
[12:04] <yobrien> ok
[12:04] <glick> yay finally getting rid of dapper
[12:04] <GreySim> stefg: Yeah.
[12:04] <yobrien> dapper has firefox 1.5 !!!! much better
[12:04] <glick> i like all the new stuff of feisty
[12:04] <glick> i skipped edgy
[12:05] <aunes> so anyone else have a suggestion for fetching remotely from apt-get?
[12:05] <aunes> its trying to read from the CDROM (even through ssh)
[12:05] <stefg> GreySim: i was involved in a project with a similar problem... Finally they decided to equip the clients with IDE-flash-drives and forget about netbooting :-\
[12:05] <GreySim> stefg: And I know it's possible, as I've done it using this page as a reference: http://www.xs4all.nl/~rjb/fatclient.html
[12:05] <yobrien> !source.list
[12:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about source.list - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:06] <Slart> aunes: fetching remotely? isn't that what apt-get does normally?
[12:06] <yobrien> !sources.list
[12:06] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[12:06] <GreySim> stefg: But I don't want shared /usr or /home directories, and I can't adapt the instructions to do that successfully apparently.
[12:06] <aunes> slestak_away, That's what I thought. I run apt-get and it asks for a cdrom
[12:06] <orbisvicis> gedit /etc/apt/source.list
[12:06] <Ayabara> I want to connect my laptop with ati m300 graphics to an lcd-tv using vga. Can I expect this to work out nicely?
[12:07] <aunes> orbisvicis, my sources.list is populated with reasonable values.
[12:07] <Slart> aunes: check system, administration software sources.. unclick the cd source there
[12:07] <aunes> nm. I found a rogue cdrom: line
[12:07] <aunes> ty
[12:08] <aunes> w00t! fortune here I come!
[12:08] <yobrien> !info fortune
[12:08] <glick> damn does anyone know why when i try to boot the ubuntu feisty install cd on my laptop i get this.... /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
[12:08] <yobrien> slow....
[12:08] <ubotu> Package fortune does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[12:08] <glick> followed by this prompt... (imitramfs)_

[12:09] <bullgard4> The driver battery.c defines a C function 'static int acpi_battery_get_status(struct acpi_battery *battery, struct acpi_battery_status  **bst)'. I don not understand the construct 'struct acpi_battery_status **bst'
[12:09] <aunes> yobrien: it makes sexxy motd's
[12:09] <yobrien> yeah ... i remember  slackware used use fortune on the login script
[12:10] <aunes> yup. I've loved it ever since.
[12:10] <orbisvicis> anyone know what to do after this: configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables?
[12:10] <hylje> orbisvicis: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[12:11] <GreySim> Fortune scares me. It predicted I would get an eviction soon, and within a week of that, I got evicted from the place i'd been living for the past three years. :o
[12:11] <yobrien> nice for screensavers tooo
[12:11] <GeorgeAScott> hi, would it be possible for somebody to explain to me why my mouse cursor disappears when over images or when trying to use wine?
[12:11] <orbisvicis> oh
[12:11] <glick> anyone have that same problem?
[12:11] <hylje> GreySim: predicting the future is not for everyone
[12:11] <GeorgeAScott> that same problem with fortune?  no.. not yet
[12:12] <Frogzoo> GreySim: tried booting with 'acpi=off' ?
[12:12] <yobrien> GreySim: did you check the warranty disclaimer on the software :)
[12:12] <Frogzoo> GreySim: it's not a h/w issue - other people get this, I think it's fixable
[12:12] <glick> hey when beagle is installed, where do you access it from?
[12:13] <GreySim> Frogzoo: No, but I'll try now. When using the shared /usr and /home directories, it booted just fine though, without having to do that.
[12:13] <yobrien> Frogzoo: places->search i think
[12:13] <yobrien> glick i mean
[12:14] <GreySim> Well, aside from taking 2-5 minutes to get the network configured, but at least it didn't completely hang and complain about /dev/null the way it does now.
[12:14] <xCyp> hello, is there a way (maybe a postfix module) to send back a confirmation mail to the sender (ex : when i send an email i get "250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as B72C11EE18" from the recieving server, and i want that "250 ok" to come back to me so i know my smtp server did his work)
[12:14] <orbisvicis> whats a terminal management library for readline ?
[12:15] <glick> yobrien, do you have to restart or something? or log out and log back on?
[12:15] <yobrien> glick: yobrien i think it sticks it self in the session start up programs ... so either log out or just run beagled
[12:15] <yobrien> wow i am self referencing
[12:15] <glick> oh ok
[12:16] <glick> heh
[12:16] <glick> damn buggy kernel!
[12:16] <glick> what the hell
[12:16] <Frogzoo> orbisvicis: install build-essential
[12:17] <Frogzoo> glick: you tried booting with 'acpi=off' ?
[12:17] <orbisvicis> yeah i did that that, this is the next error ; )
[12:17] <glick> no Frogzoo
[12:17] <Frogzoo> GreySim: sorry, the 'acpi=off' wasn't for you - tab malfunction
[12:17] <spheard> I keep getting the error. "Couldn't connect DCOP signal. Won't receive any status notifications!" anyone got any ideas?
[12:18] <jkjk> Hi! I switched from Kubuntu feisty to Ubuntu feisty on my notebook and have a problem: when starting applications in gnome they are only partially drwan. (like parts or all of the inside of the window is not beeing drawn..) any suggestions ?
[12:18] <GreySim> Frogzoo: Ah, that makes sense then.
[12:18] <timbobsteve> hey all
[12:19] <Frogzoo> jkjk: up to date driver ?
[12:19] <neo__> hi,sorry,i'm french....
[12:19] <glick> nah same deal Frogzoo
[12:19] <glick> cant access tty
[12:19] <glick> job control turned off
[12:19] <glick> hmm
[12:19] <jkjk> Frogzoo: I guess -  i have an ati card and use the fglrx driver (the one that came with feisty)

[12:20] <orbisvicis> info [command] 
[12:20] <orbisvicis> also man [command] 
[12:20] <aunes> that can't be right. it makes too much sense :-P
[12:20] <Myrtti> aunes: aptitude show <package>

[12:21] <faileas> well they did have like, what 30 years of unix ideas to draw on, and some other new tricks in addition ;)
[12:21] <NoEvidenZ> Bahahaha
[12:21] <NoEvidenZ> I just came in here to ask for help
[12:21] <Frogzoo> glick: grep kopt /boot/grub/menu.lst
[12:22] <timbobsteve> my server install stops at 85% when installing the DNS packages.... any idea why?
[12:22] <NoEvidenZ> While typing out the error, I realised that I needed to put "sudo" in front of the command.
[12:22] <glick> Frogzoo, where should i do this?
[12:22] <glick> at that prompt?
[12:23] <orbisvicis> any ideas with this: configure: error: Could not find the readline library.. to quote some forum 'i installed every package i could find that contained readline'
[12:24] <Frogzoo> glick: it seems the upgrade leaves menu.lst messed up - can you boot the cd live, then mount the root fs somewhere & fix menu.lst
[12:24] <GreySim> Would an "Input/output" error be the right error if the problem was related the the root filesystem being read-only? That's what I'm starting to suspect might be my problem. I'm not getting any logs written to my NFS root either.
[12:24] <glick> Frogzoo, im not doing an upgrade
[12:24] <glick> im doing a fresh install
[12:25] <Frogzoo> ooh that's awkward
[12:25] <Frogzoo> glick: you get this booting the cd?
[12:26] <timbobsteve> where is the installer log located ?
[12:26] <glick> Frogzoo, yea
[12:27] <LeventO> hello all, does the w32codecs package exist for amd64 version of feisty?
[12:27] <gordboy> no
[12:27] <NoEvidenZ> :O
[12:27] <orbin> timbobsteve: /var/log/installer/syslog ... i think
[12:27] <orbisvicis> yes, w64codecs its called
[12:28] <NoEvidenZ> Heh, fits.
[12:28] <glick> damn i may have to settle for edgy on my laptop :(
[12:28] <Frogzoo> glick: this might sound strange, but does that machine have an fd drive?
[12:28] <orbisvicis> something like that, medibuntu
[12:28] <glick> no Frogzoo
[12:28] <glick> i took it out
[12:28] <timbobsteve> orbin: I am still in the livecd installer environment... and /var/log has not installer folder :/
[12:29] <LeventO> orbisvicis, thanks, found it, installing now...
[12:29] <glick> heh i think i threw that away a long time ago
[12:29] <orbin> timbobsteve: i assume it gets created after you install.
[12:30] <cMadman> using scp, is it possible to recursively copy directories, but provide a pattern to match only certain file extensions?
[12:30] <NoEvidenZ> Ha, turns out I can fix my own errors now. I've had that many nothing's new to me. I don't know whether to be proud or dismayed.
[12:30] <timbobsteve> damn... I am trying to diagnose some installation problems. THe isntall hangs at 85% evertime. The media checks out fine though :S
[12:30] <glick> yes cMadman
[12:30] <rikstah> cMadman, i'm pretty sure it's not
[12:30] <rikstah> oh
[12:30] <rikstah> hah
[12:30] <cMadman> lol
[12:30] <glick> cMadman, bash regular expressions work with scp
[12:30] <orbisvicis> whats the command to clean up after ./configure ?
[12:30] <cMadman> glick, could you give me an idea of the syntax
[12:31] <glick> damn i have to go to edgy
[12:31] <glick> cMadman, regular expressions can get complex
[12:31] <rikstah> so maybe like  *.{mp3,ogg,foo} cMadman
[12:31] <LeventO> totem won't play dvd's, it asks me whether i'm trying to play without libdvdcss installed (i do have it installed)
[12:31] <cMadman> I've tried scp user@domain:path/*.extension path

[12:32] <cMadman> sorry
[12:32] <cMadman> I omitted the -r
[12:32] <orbisvicis> you also have to update xine, levent0
[12:32] <Mase> hi guys, i am trying to install php5.2 from dapper backports. I added the backports to my sources and ran sudo apt-get -t dapper-packports php5 but it seems to still grab the one from main

[12:32] <glick> how the hell am i gonna get feisty on my laptop
[12:32] <cMadman> rikstah, my issue has been that "scp -r user:domain:path/*.extension path limits me to the current directory

[12:34] <anathematic> if there a way i can download progrms such as vlc for my linux box and then transfer to it?
[12:34] <anathematic> (no internet to it atm)(
[12:34] <josea> what your name?
[12:34] <glick> praise xenu! it appears to be working! thanks Frogzoo
[12:35] <jscinoz> anathematic go to packages.ubuntu.org and download the .deb for it
[12:35] <jscinoz> and run that on your linuxbox
[12:35] <anathematic> =D ty
[12:36] <anathematic> okay next problem, my linux box hasn't actually installed by default any of my drivers for my onboard network card :(
[12:36] <LeventO> for some reason i can't find xine, do i have to look in a special repository for that (the amd64 feisty version)
[12:36] <glick> man we all owe richard stallman so much
[12:36] <tarelerulz> How do you set up konqueror to use mplayer like firefox does?
[12:36] <anathematic> i'm sorry is http://packages.ubuntu.com/ up for anyone else?
[12:37] <orbisvicis> no.. are you using synaptics ?
[12:37] <LeventO> anathematic, no, and wasn't up about 6 hours ago when i last checked
[12:37] <glick> its not till youve been using free software for a while and then try to go back to proprietary software do you realize how crappy prop software is
[12:38] <anathematic> :<
[12:38] <orbisvicis> proprietary =! patent-ridden
[12:38] <ferronica> rythmbox unable to play .m4p format.
[12:39] <Lounge> prop software is not good~if there were any back doors in that software, no one would be able to patch is their self's. they would have to wait for the company to do it as a service pack
[12:39] <glick> orbisvicis, some software should by its nature be proprietary
[12:39] <glick> i.e. games
[12:39] <glick> or not should
[12:39] <glick> but is acceptable
[12:39] <glick> i can understand proprietary games software
[12:39] <orbisvicis> i was just trying to exclude stuff like xine and decss etc
[12:39] <orbisvicis> drivers should be opensource
[12:40] <orbisvicis> mqybe not gpl, but at least open
[12:40] <faileas> not always possible

[12:41] <ferronica> rythmbox unable to play .m4p format.
[12:41] <davalex> u need the gstream packages

[12:41] <orbisvicis> dont need xine-ui

[12:42] <defrysk> Lounge, no sudo needed for that

[01:18] <Mase> kandala: afaik the chipset you are using is made by a company that refuses to release the specs for their cards so that Linux can use the device correctly. So it could be that the drivers just aren't very good. The best way to "fix" it would be to write to broadcomm and tell them why you won

[01:31] <divineomega> so what is linux?
[01:31] <digital_k> its everything windows hopes to some day be :)
[01:31] <mjr> good, he didn't want an answer
[01:31] <rausb0> orbisvicis: did you put something nonstandard in your /etc/apt/sources.list?
[01:31] <digital_k> lol
[01:31] <orbisvicis> medibunut, about a day ago
[01:32] <orbisvicis> *medibuntu
[01:32] <rausb0> orbisvicis: never heard of that
[01:32] <ianubuntu> how do i add config to X? http://linux.seindal.dk/2005/06/04/logitech-cordless-click-plus-mouse/
[01:32] <orbisvicis> contains all proprietary stuff for feisty
[01:33] <digital_k> so no one else having issues with the panel icons being silly after x restart or reboot? maybe its just a fluke here.
[01:33] <rausb0> orbisvicis: maybe medibuntu has too old repositories, not matching the feisty versions
[01:33] <Elive_user27> can fiesty be run as live cd
[01:33] <orbisvicis> yes, it can
[01:33] <digital_k> Elive_:yes
[01:33] <Elive_user27> thanks
[01:33] <bimberi> Elive_user27: yes, it's called the "Desktop CD"
[01:33] <orbisvicis> no, medibuntu only has the proprietary stuff
[01:34] <ianubuntu> i have no idea where an xfree config would go....
[01:34] <numan> so how is going feisty fawn  looking for someone who had crashes with it?
[01:34] <rausb0> orbisvicis: sorry, then i don't know where that version of runit comes from
[01:34] <digital_k> numan: what do you mean exactly?
[01:34] <orbisvicis> im going to reboot
[01:35] <digital_k> numan: its pretty very stable if thats what you are getting at.
[01:35] <digital_k> numan: all ubuntu versions are pretty much, its the tweaking that gets one in trouble IMO ;)
[01:36] <ianubuntu> ...
[01:37] <karan> i see -> /etc/ssh folder
[01:37] <karan> i dont see /etc/init.d/ssh    to start the service
[01:38] <Elive_user27> please basic question; how do i reply to someone that has responded to me so they get beeped; thanks
[01:38] <rausb0> karan: then you only have the ssh client installed
[01:38] <ethercle1r> is there a way to remove the title bar from the terminal?
[01:38] <bimberi> karan: is openssh-server installed?
[01:38] <rausb0> karan: apt-get install openssh-server
[01:39] <bimberi> Elive_user27: just use their nick at the start of the line
[01:39] <karan> thanks rausb0 and bimberi :)
[01:40] <orbisvicis> i think 1.5.1-1 is the latest version for amd64
[01:40] <Elive_user27> bimberi: did this beep you?
[01:40] <bimberi> Elive_user27: yes it 'hilights' on my IRC client
[01:40] <rausb0> orbisvicis: oh, i have no experience with the amd64 versions of ubuntu
[01:40] <Elive_user27> bimberi: thanks a bunch
[01:41] <bimberi> Elive_user27: np :)
[01:41] <orbisvicis> yeah, this is weird .... im uninstalling git
[01:42] <rausb0> orbisvicis: first you have to resolve the runit config problem
[01:42] <rausb0> orbisvicis: maybe sudo touch /etc/inittab will help, no sure though
[01:43] <orbisvicis> wow, it does
[01:43] <aoirthoir> mornin folks!
[01:43] <orbisvicis> what did you do !

[01:49] <albert> i have a question concerning the partitioning of my hda drive.
[01:49] <BiNDi> Is there drivers for AMD PCnet-home based network adapter @ ubuntu 7.04?

[01:50] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> hi all
[01:50] <BiNDi> Is there drivers for AMD PCnet-home based network adapter @ ubuntu 7.04?
[01:50] <rausb0> orbisvicis: feisty uses upstart instead of init, so no inittab is needed
[01:51] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> how do you create a new folder from within the file selection dialog box?
[01:51] <numan> digital_k: i want to know that if it is doing well so that i can upgraDE WITHOUT PROBLEMS
[01:51] <rausb0> BiNDi: what exactly do you mean by "home based network"? no ethernet?
[01:51] <orbisvicis> oh ... does feisty *normally* come with inittab?
[01:51] <hammer> does anyone know how I can get the gnome-panel te keep appearing after logon ?
[01:51] <albert> currently i got windows on hda1, ubuntu is located on a logical drive hda5-8, 5 swap,6 grub, 7 root, 8 home. if i will install f.e. debian, will i be able to use "ubuntu"-grub?

[01:53] <orbisvicis> now im wondering if everythings fixed, or just broken and i cant see it
[01:53] <rausb0> BiNDi: AFAIK HomePNA is something like sloooow ethernet over telephone cable, right?
[01:53] <Frogzoo> hammer: try enable save session at logoff in session options

[01:53] <wall0159> howdy all. Bit of a question about system instability. I've recently added an extra 2 GB of RAM to my Ubuntu box, bringing it to 4 GB. But it's now unstable, and will hard lock when I push the RAM use. However, I booted into memtest, and found no RAM errors. Can the wisdom of the list suggest anything?
[01:53] <BiNDi> but yeas

[01:57] <orbisvicis> well, inittab just seem to log runit
[01:58] <feni23> aye aye ... your master is b4q
[01:58] <feni23> XD
[01:58] <orbisvicis> probably somehow got removed in make uninstall
[01:58] <rausb0> orbisvicis: actually inittab is not a log file. it is the config file of sys V init.
[01:59] <sahil> Is Aptana any good?
[01:59] <Frogzoo> orbisvicis: ubuntu uses upstart now, inittab still works apparently in a legacy fashion
[01:59] <orbisvicis> oh, b/c its filling up with this:

[02:30] <eifzon> mstuefer: i fixed it
[02:30] <mstuefer> the ubuntu alternate installer stops on acpi if u want install it on a non formatted partition, because (of course) it founds some existing config files and ask you over syslog what u want to do with them.. no way to interact over the dialog ui... uff
[02:30] <mstuefer> eifzon: ;)
[02:30] <eifzon> :)

[02:39] <HHP2K> I'm running XPSP2PRO, installed vmware and have Ubuntu 6.06.1 running on it right now.
[02:39] <ikonia> ok
[02:39] <enigma_> your problem is windows
[02:39] <tony_> "quit"
[02:39] <HHP2K> I was about to start upgrading with synaptics, but it's asked me for a password
[02:40] <ikonia> HHP2K: enter your using password
[02:40] <tony_> quit
[02:40] <HHP2K> I never set a password on it yet, so I researched the problem
[02:40] <tony_> quit
[02:40] <rausb0> tony_: /quit
[02:40] <tony_>  exit
[02:40] <HHP2K> what?
[02:40] <tony_> out
[02:40] <Frogzoo> HHP2K: same password as you log in with
[02:40] <tony_> i try to out of here
[02:40] <rausb0> tony_: /quit
[02:40] <enigma_> wow
[02:41] <HHP2K> I'm logged in as root, I think.
[02:41] <HHP2K> and it isn't letting me create a new user.
[02:41] <ikonia> HHP2K: no your not
[02:41] <enigma_> hhp2k just type your password
[02:41] <ikonia> HHP2K: your logged in as an unprivilged user
[02:41] <HHP2K> I don't have a password though.
[02:41] <ikonia> HHP2K: just type your user password
[02:41] <HHP2K> I never set one.
[02:41] <ikonia> HHP2K: you set one to login
[02:41] <HHP2K> Nope.
[02:41] <ikonia> hang on
[02:41] <ikonia> he's using the live cd
[02:41] <HHP2K> I was simply logged in when it started
[02:41] <enigma_> you have to
[02:41] <enigma_> ohh
[02:41] <enigma_> gksu synaptic
[02:41] <ikonia> HHP2K: you've not installed ubuntu yet ?
[02:41] <ShesMe> Fen try #ubuntu-bots with ! in front of what you looking for
[02:42] <ikonia> enigma_: thats all it can be
[02:42] <enigma_> yeah
[02:42] <enigma_> your right
[02:42] <HHP2K> I'm running ubuntu on vmware.
[02:42] <ikonia> HHP2K: but you've not installed it into vmware
[02:42] <ikonia> HHP2K: your running from a livecd
[02:42] <HHP2K> Essentially, I guess
[02:43] <Fen_> Hey, I'm new ubuntu user so sorry for any silly questions which I may make.. Could you please tell me if it is possible to choose where to install software instead of Ubuntu just auto installing the software into my File System directory?
[02:43] <ikonia> HHP2K: so you need to install it
[02:43] <HHP2K> I downloaded this version of ubuntu.
[02:43] <Moduliz0r> hi
[02:43] <ikonia> Fen_: no
[02:43] <HHP2K> It's not on a Live CD
[02:43] <Frogzoo> Fen_: not worth it
[02:43] <Moduliz0r> Does the latest release of Ubuntu support the Speedtouch USB DSL modem?
[02:43] <enigma_> is it the .iso
[02:43] <ikonia> HHP2K: you either have not installed ubuntu - or you did set a password to login, pick which it is
[02:43] <HHP2K> It was designed for vmware.
[02:43] <HHP2K> have not installed ubuntu.
[02:44] <enigma_> hhp2k : you mean the .iso designed for vmware
[02:44] <HHP2K> I believe so, yes
[02:44] <Moduliz0r> Does the latest release of Ubuntu support the Speedtouch USB DSL modem?
[02:44] <enigma_> yeah you have to install that
[02:44] <Drel3> need good rss reader
[02:44] <ikonia> Moduliz0r: look on the hardware compatability list on ubuntu.com

[02:44] <Moduliz0r> Doesn't appear so :/
[02:45] <HHP2K> I think someone suggested typing gksu synaptic into the terminal.. I did that, and it asked for the password again.
[02:45] <Fen_> aah ok, its just that partition only has 1.5GB on it and all my programs are being installed in there... U see I kinda wanted to have it like, that is where OS is stored and Program are stored on different partition?
[02:45] <ikonia> HHP2K: you can't update until you install
[02:45] <HHP2K> I see.
[02:45] <enigma_> hhp2k: are you sure you did not set up a password
[02:45] <HHP2K> Positive.
[02:45] <ikonia> hes not installed it
[02:45] <HHP2K> Is there a way to install it without mucking up XP?
[02:45] <ikonia> HHP2K: yes
[02:46] <Frogzoo> Fen_: you can mount /usr on a different partition - it's not a bad idea actually
[02:46] <enigma_> ikonia: not so, if he is on live cd then it would not ask for a password if he typed gksu synaptic
[02:46] <HHP2K> Where can I find the resources to do that?
[02:46] <ikonia> enigma_: hmmmm that could be right
[02:46] <Frogzoo> Fen_: moving /usr after you've installed isn't really doable for beginners
[02:46] <zmo> HHP2K: username=ubuntu password=ubuntu on the vmware ubuntu image
[02:46] <HHP2K> I'll try that.
[02:47] <Fen_> Ah ok, I see cheers Frogzoo
[02:47] <HHP2K> Correct!
[02:47] <HHP2K> Oh wow, thank you
[02:47] <enigma_> wow zmo is the man
[02:47] <ikonia> that must be a vmware image
[02:47] <HHP2K> It is
[02:47] <ikonia> rather than an iso image
[02:48] <HHP2K> When I downloaded vmware, I found the image through a vmware resource
[02:48] <benkee> hi
[02:48] <rausb0> HHP2K: and there were no docs with the image telling you which the username/password is?
[02:49] <HHP2K> rausb0: I had checked, and no.
[02:49] <HHP2K> I thought about that initially
[02:49] <Fen_> How can I log in as "Root" user so I can delete this annoying partition I don't wish to see anymore on my Desktop?
[02:50] <enigma_> gksu gparted
[02:50] <HHP2K> Okay guys, ready for another question?
[02:50] <enigma_> go for it
[02:51] <HHP2K> My resolution for XP is 1280x1024. ubuntu runs inside of that resolution at 800x600, which is crippling. I tried to change the res, but the only options are 640 and 800. No resources online.
[02:51] <enigma_> HHP2K : go for it
[02:52] <defrysk> !fixres
[02:52] <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
[02:52] <ikonia> HHP2K: be aware that vmware can't access your hardware direct
[02:52] <imc_> One last try: I am trying to run NetworkManager from the command line and cat the terminal output into a file for debug and it's not working. I am root.  the command is      NetworkManager --no-daemon > nm.log   Can anyone tell me why it's not working?
[02:52] <enigma_> ikonia: thats what I am thinking
[02:53] <HHP2K> Okay. Thanks again guys :)
[02:53] <enigma_> HHP2K : either a setting on vmware or some issue with virtual driver
[02:53] <digital_k> HHP2K: I use VirtualBox, and it installs its own drivers within the virtual machine. Does VMWare have that option?
[02:53] <enigma_> thats my opinion
[02:53] <zmo> HHP2K: check out vmware-tools
[02:53] <rausb0> imc_: if you still see the debug output in the console, try this: NetworkManager --no-daemon >nm.log 2>&1
[02:53] <Fen_> How can I log in as "Root" user so I can delete this annoying partition I don't wish to see anymore on my Desktop?
[02:54] <imc_> Thanks rausb0
[02:54] <enigma_> Fen_ : gksu gparted
[02:54] <enigma_> Fen_ then type your password
[02:54] <Fen_> gksu gparted?
[02:54] <imc_> That did it rausb0 thanks very much
[02:55] <enigma_> Fen : either open a terminal and type that or hold alt + f2 and then type that
[02:55] <Fen_> fantastic thanks :)
[02:55] <rausb0> imc_: explanation: i also redirected stderr to the file
[02:56] <cef> upgraded from dapper to edgy (I'll get to feisty soon) but full screen OpenGL is too dark compared to the way it was under Dapper. Using the nvidia driver. Any suggestions?
[02:57] <imc_> Yeah, it made sense once I saw, thanks so much for thae tip and the explanation!
[02:57] <rausb0> imc_: 2>&1 redirects stderr (usually file descriptor 2) to stdout (usually file descriptor 1)
[02:57] <imc_> nice.
[02:57] <imc_> Thank you again rausb0
[02:57] <rausb0> imc_: you're welcome
[02:59] <Fen_> enigma_: Even after doing that and putting in password when I try to unmount the drive I get issue about not having the privilege?
[03:00] <digital_k> i have a silly question about getting an ubuntu.com email address, how is this possible? Ive gotten numerous emails from different sources and their address is @ubuntu.com
[03:00] <digital_k> any ideas?
[03:00] <overclocker> hi, i'm trying to install xen on feisty, the os starts but my desktop is not working
[03:00] <SomeNick> hey
[03:00] <close2> hello, i am still trying to debug a notebook, which needs ~10 minutes to boot
[03:01] <enigma_> Fen_ that should give you root privliges
[03:01] <digital_k> 10 minutes?! wow
[03:01] <close2> i've already removed quiet and splash from the grub menu
[03:01] <close2> and it hangs at "Reading files needed to boot"
[03:01] <SomeNick> how do i mount a harddrive so that users can write to it, because when i sudo mount /dev/myhdd /mountpoint it auto sets the permission to root:root?
[03:01] <Fen_> enigma_ doesn't seemed to have worked..
[03:01] <close2> the live-cd works as expected
[03:01] <close2> dmesg doesn't help either
[03:02] <enigma_> Fen_ your not trying to unmount a drive you are using are you?
[03:02] <close2> badblocks didn't find anything (i canceled it after ~ 1/3 though)
[03:02] <digital_k> close2:could be a hardware issue possibly
[03:02] <ianubuntu> when i click the power button, there is no turn off option - only suspend and hirbernate
[03:02] <ianubuntu> any ideas why?
[03:02] <maverick> hi
[03:02] <Fen_> enigma_ nah, not using that drive
[03:03] <overclocker> does xen works on feisty?
[03:03] <digital_k> ianubuntu: i think you can change that in the power settings
[03:03] <maverick> can you tell me how can i change my local ip in ubuntu 7.04
[03:03] <rausb0> maverick: temporary or permanent?
[03:03] <joebleaack> help
[03:03] <enigma_> Fen_ : Try going to System >> Administration >> GNOME partition editor

[03:04] <Fen_> enigma_ its not listed there buddy
[03:04] <thman> bonjour  tous / hello all
[03:04] <ianubuntu> it seems strange there isnt a shutdown option though
[03:04] <maverick> oh, temporary
[03:04] <digital_k> bonjour thman
[03:04] <enigma_> Fen_ check personal message in red at top
[03:04] <thman> bonjour digital
[03:04] <rausb0> maverick: do you know which interface your lan is?  (eth0 for example)
[03:04] <maverick> yes eth0
[03:05] <rausb0> maverick: okay, then it is: sudo ifconfig eth0 your_ip_address
[03:05] <maverick> thanks
[03:05] <maverick> just a second
[03:05] <enigma_> Fen_ : open up a terminal and type gksu apt-get install gparted
[03:05] <digital_k> ianubuntu:go to system>preferences>power management> general tab
[03:05] <Fen_> enigma_ ok will try that
[03:05] <digital_k> and you can specify what happens when you press the power button
[03:06] <thman> je suis un nouvel utilisateur de ubuntu et je rencontre un soucis avec mon logiciel favoris (KDX.lexe) il me donne un message d'ereure me disantque le .lexe n'est pas re"conu par le systeme et je ne trouve pas d'autre version du sort y a t'il un utilisateur experimenter pour me guider un peut ?

[03:09] <minimec> Hi. I would like to transfer my evolution settings to my laptop. Somehow I am missing something. I copied the .evolution directory, the Evolutoin file in the gnome_private directory and the .gconf/apps/evolution directory. Still I don't see the account settings of my 5 mail accounts. Where in haven is evolution storing these settings. Can anyone help me?
[03:09] <Fen_> enigma_ doesn't appear to install it. After it asks me to accept and put in password nothing happens.
[03:09] <okapi> variant: I check on on Kinfo center
[03:09] <sarah> hello
[03:09] <variant> okapi: run sudo lspcmcia with a pcmcia card plugged in
[03:10] <maverick> rausb0: my lan client is showing me another ip address
[03:10] <hammer> what I cannot understand is when I type gnome-panel  it mentions that there is already a gnome
[03:10] <variant> hammer: strange, have you altered the session file at all|
[03:10] <Fen_> enigma_ Do you think I should restart or something?
[03:10] <enigma_> Fen_ : no
[03:10] <digital_k> ianubuntu: i dont really know what happened , so that you only have those 2 options.
[03:10] <hammer> session running but I cannot see it
[03:10] <digital_k> did you disable anything?
[03:10] <rausb0> maverick: what do you mean by "lan client"?
[03:10] <variant> hammer: yeah, sounds like something is making it hang.. (still running but hung)
[03:10] <enigma_> Fen_ what version are you using?
[03:10] <variant> hammer: and do you have beryl|
[03:10] <variant> ?
[03:10] <Fen_> enigma_ 7
[03:10] <ianubuntu> digital_k: neither do i!
[03:10] <Costel> how to copy a folder to another folder keeping the premissions?
[03:10] <hammer> yes I have Beryl

[03:10] <variant> Costel: -pr
[03:11] <Costel> thanks
[03:11] <Fen_> enigma_ Why?
[03:11] <digital_k> ianubuntu: have you tried deleting that button then re adding it back to the panel?
[03:11] <digital_k> i dont know if that would really do anything, Im just grasping here.
[03:11] <Fen_> enigma_ I think I am going to do a reformat and start a fresh and properly sort things out.
[03:11] <rausb0> maverick: i don't care and i don't know any windows programs. why do you install linux when you are running windows programs on it?
[03:11] <enigma_> Fen_ ok
[03:11] <tri3axe> hm.. i wonder how many %  of worldwide users are using *nix compared to M$ now.. seems like *nix have sky rocketed last years
[03:12] <hammer> is there a way to get the gnome-panel to its default setting maybe that will work
[03:12] <maverick> coz other people on lan use the client, so i have no option
[03:12] <ianubuntu> digital_k: makes no difference :|
[03:12] <Fen_> enigma_ Thank you very much for ur help :)
[03:12] <lizili> who can tell me how to set my Evolution Mail ,my mail adress is 104316796@163.com.

[03:13] <hammer> thanks variant what command should I use for that I am very new to Linux
[03:13] <Pelo> joebleaack, is it usb ?
[03:13] <lizili> how to set "Server Type"
[03:13] <digital_k> you have to right click it and select move, and make sure to unlock it if its locked to the panel, ianubuntu
[03:13] <Hobbsee> !offtopic | sarah
[03:13] <ubotu> sarah: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!

[03:14] <ianubuntu> digital_k: yes, i use gnome

[03:14] <digital_k> sorry i didnt mention that
[03:14] <digital_k> you have to unlock those as well

[03:14] <okapi> variant: that card is D-link DWL-AG660 wich is my wireless adapter but can not have it work with any wireless software

[03:15] <leotr> would that be enough?
[03:15] <overclocker> i'm looking in google for a good tutorial to install xen on feisty but i couldn't find something good, anyone knows a good guide?
[03:15] <variant> okapi: ok, the pcmcia port is supported but the card you have plugged in may not be, you probably have to use ndiswrapper for that
[03:15] <variant> !ndiswrapper | okapi
[03:15] <ubotu> okapi: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[03:15] <variant> okapi: read that link

[03:16] <variant> overclocker: the first link in a google search: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_xen_setup_debian_ubuntu
[03:16] <okapi> variant: this card was working find on Kubuntu 6.10..
[03:16] <rausb0> maverick: then you would edit the file /etc/network/interfaces
[03:16] <variant> okapi: maybe it is supported then
[03:16] <leotr> can you help me?
[03:16] <maverick> ok, ty
[03:16] <albert> hi, gxine tells my " Media stream scrambled/encrypted". It's the third DVD of the LOTR Special Edition and the first two worked very well. libdvdcss2 is also installed. Why could this be?
[03:16] <variant> okapi: what have you done to make it work?
[03:16] <rausb0> maverick: look in the manpage for the correct syntax of this file
[03:17] <Pelo> joebleaack, ok , try this,  menu > system > prefs,  hardware info,  find your modem in the list,   fine the ttys* addy,  when you have that run pppoe.conf and use that for a device
[03:17] <variant> albert: try with mplayer or vlc or ogle
[03:17] <variant> albert: gxine is not great
[03:17] <joebleaack> wel ok
[03:17] <joebleaack> i will try
[03:17] <digital_k> does anyone know how to stop the screen from dimming when you have to authenticate? i find the feature rather annoying. "/
[03:17] <albert> variant, vlc doesn't play it at all
[03:17] <okapi> variant: on 6.10 I installed the pcmcia utility and kwave and that it.
[03:17] <albert> i'll try mplayer
[03:17] <digital_k> ive searched around and i dont see a way to disable that
[03:17] <variant> okapi: so do that
[03:18] <Pelo> joebleaack, also try just looking up usb modem in the forum for generic instrucitons
[03:18] <variant> okapi: sorry, i know nothing about kde and little about wifi
[03:18] <variant> albert: could be a dodgey disk. mplayer is the most reliable of players (only if you compile it from source though)
[03:19] <variant> albert: use it for testing
[03:19] <digital_k> i prefer totem-xine, its a better experience in my opinion :)
[03:19] <joebleaack> o
[03:19] <albert> variant, well it just crashed with some 10 page repeating error
[03:19] <kbrooks> I have a very small file I'd like encrypted.
[03:19] <kbrooks> It is a list of phone numbers.
[03:19] <mjr> kbrooks, look into gpg
[03:19] <digital_k> so no ideas on how to disable screen dimming? if anyone knows please let me know, thanks.
[03:19] <okapi> variant: actually everything is installed as before...but no luck. I just install ndiswrapper but I have this error" E: couldn't find package ndiswrapper"
[03:20] <variant> albert: thats the pre compiled ubuntu mplayer which is not very good. try compiling it from source your self as results are generally very much better
[03:20] <variant> okapi: sorry, can't help you
[03:20] <ianubuntu> also, my computer seems quite happy to decode DVDs using totem, but can i get it so that the DVD menus work too? i tried installing totem-xine, but then totem errored when i tried to play anything
[03:20] <albert> variant, ooooh well..... thx ;)
[03:20] <kbrooks> mjr: How do I use it to encrypt and decrypt a file?
[03:20] <meeeeeee> Is there a way to see what resolutions my graphics card can handle? not the ones pre set in X?
[03:20] <Frogzoo> digital_k: disable the scripts in /etc/acpi/*bright*
[03:21] <mangojambo> Hi there ... people, do someone here have an USB multicard reader ??
[03:21] <digital_k> frogzoo: thank you , i will give that a look now!
[03:21] <variant> meeeeeee: more important is what your monitor can handle.. ddcxinfo-knoppix will tell you that
[03:21] <meeeeeee> thank you variant
[03:21] <meeeeeee> I will check :D
[03:21] <mangojambo> I have one and last week it was working ... 2 weeks ago isn't ...
[03:22] <HHP2K> OKay guys, I tried the little terminal script before to fix the res but it didn't work. Can someone point me to the resources for this again?
[03:22] <ianubuntu> also, my computer seems quite happy to decode DVDs using totem, but can i get it so that the DVD menus work too? i tried installing totem-xine, but then totem errored when i tried to play anything
[03:22] <mangojambo> In Ubuntu it works one week, one not ??? ;)
[03:22] <RivaeAerya> HELP!!!! I just got back from school, turned on my pc.. and saw the resolution was REALLY low.. so I logged in, and i try to set it, but i can't set it to high resolutions! What has happened to the video driver? what the heck?!
[03:22] <variant> ianubuntu: ogle is a great dedicated dvd player with good menu support
[03:22] <albert> variant, MPlayer v1.0rc1 this is it?
[03:22] <variant> albert: the source code?
[03:23] <variant> albert: yes
[03:23] <albert> ye
[03:23] <albert> kk, just checking ;) thx for advice
[03:23] <jhaig> RivaeAerya: Anything unusual about how you have booted up?  Have you plugged in a projector, for example?
[03:23] <digital_k> Frogzoo: i have that opened in gedit, exactly what do i comment out?
[03:23] <variant> albert: you need help compiling it?
[03:23] <RivaeAerya> jhaig: nothing unusual.
[03:23] <albert> nah, got allready how-to in browser ;)
[03:23] <digital_k> it opened 3 tabs btw
[03:23] <variant> ok, cool
[03:23] <Frogzoo> digital_k: sudo chmod ugo-w /etc/acpi/*bright*

[03:24] <digital_k> and that will stop the screen dimming when i authenticate? correct?
[03:24] <meeeeeee> variant:  I got a bash: ddcxinfo-knoppix: command not found with ddcxinfo-knoppix
[03:24] <joebleaack> question pelo it wil not ask me for an alredy conection to the internet
[03:24] <ianubuntu> variant: is there a way so that ogle autolaunches when i put in a dvd as opposed to totem
[03:24] <RivaeAerya> jhaig: nothing unusual. I just came back from school, and now the computer's all weird..
[03:24] <meeeeeee> maybe cos its an old macine
[03:25] <Frogzoo> digital_k: oh, that would disable all dimming controls - no you should check power manager settings
[03:25] <variant> ianubuntu: yeah, configure the removable media actions in the preferences menu of the ubuntu desktop.. don't have an ubuntu box here so can't tell you the exact location
[03:25] <aabrahao> Hi, how can I acess the ubuntu via internet?
[03:26] <digital_k> Frogzoo: when you open synaptic, its asks for a password, and the screen dims behind the password box, thats what I am trying to disable, the dimming of the screen.
[03:26] <jhaig> RivaeAerya: Have you looked in /var/log/XOrg.log?
[03:26] <albert> variant, just another question: do i need to remove the ubuntu-mplayer?
[03:26] <digital_k> there is no setting for that in power management
[03:26] <variant> albert: no
[03:26] <RivaeAerya> jhaig: I notice 3D acceleration works, though. No settings have changed in the Xorg.confs, and i'll take a gander at the log
[03:26] <albert> variant: it gets updated, i guess?
[03:26] <zero> anyone know what to do when firefox, opera and konq. fail on new install of edgy?
[03:26] <dakira> can anyone explain to me, how the automounting of CDs works (behind the scenes)?
[03:26] <VSpike> digital_k: That's not a power management thing.. that's a dithering effect
[03:26] <fuoco> is it possible to get the keyboard indicator to show flag-icons ?
[03:27] <digital_k> VSpike: how would one go about disabling it? any ideas?
[03:27] <hammer> variant after giving the command "rm ~/.gnome* I get the message "rm: cannot remove  directory 'home/user/.gnome: it is a directory .... should I remove all the gnome directories ? like .gnome , .gnome2 and .gnome2.private ?
[03:27] <Frogzoo> digital_k: oh, no idea sorry
[03:27] <mjr> dakira, hald notices that the CD is inserted, sends a dbus message to anyone interested, the gnome-volume-manager is interested and per default wants to mount it, does so via pmount, which allows normal users to mount removable drives
[03:27] <digital_k> Frogzoo: thanks anyway :)
[03:27] <kbrooks> hammer: rm -r ~/.gnome
[03:27] <aa^way> any ftp out here? gFTP is really bad :S gets stucks sometimes and 100 bugs more
[03:27] <Frogzoo> digital_k: you might find something in the gnome control - maybe
[03:28] <RivaeAerya> jhaig: I found some errors. Pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21816/
[03:28] <kbrooks> hammer: it will ask if you want that dir removed
[03:28] <VSpike> digital_k: not sure - the KDE equivalent doesn't do it
[03:28] <VSpike> digital_k: why is it a problem?
[03:28] <variant> hammer: yea theyt will be recreated when u log in
[03:28] <zero> aa^way: commandline client like ncftp is good
[03:28] <chrissamael> hi every1
[03:28] <hammer> thanks will try this after this problem is solved I will start learning the commands :)
[03:28] <digital_k> Its annoying and its just something Ive never liked...lol
[03:28] <chrissamael> ive got a question
[03:28] <digital_k> id rather the box pop up  i put the password in, and go on about my day
[03:29] <chrissamael> is there a guid somewhere that tells me how to convert my debian to ubuntu?
[03:29] <VSpike> digital_k: you have any kde stuff installed?  If so, try "kdesu synaptic" from a terminal
[03:29] <digital_k> the screen dimming seems to add needless time to that
[03:29] <digital_k> I am using gnome desktop VSpike
[03:29] <chrissamael> any1?
[03:29] <dakira> mjr: thx.. I'm aksing because I just made packages of the new cdemu for ubuntu, but the problem with it is, that is loads images, but doesn't mount them (you have to do the mounting manually). so I just wanted to find out what the options are ;)
[03:29] <digital_k> chrissamel1: just ask...if someone can help they will :)
[03:30] <Heptofite2> hey, whats the command to upgrade to an i686 kernel?
[03:30] <gerhard> hi is there a ratDVD for linux?
[03:30] <VSpike> aa^way: yeah ncftp is great
[03:30] <chrissamael> has any1 got an idea?
[03:30] <Frogzoo> Heptofite2: there's no 686 kernel anymore - there's a module gets autoloaded
[03:30] <zero> chrissamael: you probably have to reinstall
[03:30] <digital_k> chrissamael1: you do realize that ubuntu is built atop Debian, right?
[03:30] <chrissamael> yes
[03:30] <dakira> mjr: how das hald notice a CD was inserted? by monitoring /dev/whatever?
[03:30] <Heptofite2> Frogzoo, assuming an older version of the distro, what would the command be?
[03:30] <digital_k> you would have to install Ubuntu to get Ubuntu tho.
[03:31] <gerhard> !ratdvd
[03:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ratdvd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:31] <RivaeAerya> jhaig: I found some errors. Pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21816/
[03:31] <Frogzoo> Heptofite2: sudo apt-get install linux-image-686
[03:31] <chrissamael> digital_k: the problem is that i only have the option to install debian on my server. and i want to convert it to ubuntu
[03:31] <chrissamael> digital_k: i found a guide some where, but that one doesnt work
[03:31] <digital_k> chrissamael: Not sure what you mean by convert, Debian is Debian and Ubuntu is Ubuntu...install Ubuntu if thats what you want.
[03:31] <Heptofite2> i have a closet full of ubuntu
[03:32] <Heptofite2> who do i have to call to make them STOP SENDING ME THE CDS
[03:32] <gerhard> how do i view ratdvd files on ubuntu
[03:32] <gerhard> ?
[03:32] <digital_k> Heptofite2: stop ordering them.
[03:32] <digital_k> you have to request them for them to be sent
[03:32] <SomeNick> hi, i installed samba server on my ubuntu desktop, but how can i make the server start when i bootup the computer?
[03:32] <digital_k> and the limit is now 3 per person I believe.
[03:32] <Heptofite2> digital_k, i stopped ordering them 3 years ago
[03:32] <Heptofite2> i keep getting them
[03:32] <danny3793> heptofite2: LOL, maybe send in an email? or you can call them if they offer that
[03:32] <rausb0> Heptofite2: they seem to like you :)
[03:33] <chrissamael> digital_k: as ubuntu is based on debian there should be the option to "add" the ubuntu packages to my running debian
[03:33] <Heptofite2> i have literally 400 CDs
[03:33] <Heptofite2> of various arch
[03:33] <digital_k> ive never had shipit send me unrequested cds in 3 years.
[03:33] <digital_k> hmmmm
[03:33] <danny3793> Heptofite2: why not hand these CDs out? only 6.06 or 7.04, as they are recent, but spread the love! Lol
[03:33] <Heptofite2> i mean
[03:33] <tri3axe> damn my microwave oven..  only heats on the edges of the food..><
[03:33] <Heptofite2> i guess i could use them as drinks coasters
[03:33] <zero> chrissamael: doesnt work like that. ubuntu is not debian, even though it is based on the same code
[03:33] <digital_k> chrissamael:perhaps, but that is not my area of expertise. Would be simpler to just install Ubuntu, instead of molding it into a Debian install seems like.
[03:33] <RivaeAerya> jhaig: you there?
[03:33] <danny3793> tri3axwe: thats for if you burn yourself on the first bite you can always go for the middle :)
[03:33] <tri3axe> i tougth microwave oven should heat from the inside and out
[03:34] <chrissamael> digital_k: the problem is that my server provider only has debian in his images for the server, not ubuntu
[03:34] <Heptofite2> danny3793, well, im not a huge fan of linuxes in general
[03:34] <Heptofite2> nothing against ubuntu
[03:34] <Heptofite2> i just think the kernel is rubbish
[03:34] <jhaig> RivaeAerya: I am, but I'm not an expert on X, I'm afraid.  :-(  Maybe someone else?
[03:34] <digital_k> Heptofite2: then why are you here? this is a help channel.
[03:34] <digital_k> !ubuntu-offtopic
[03:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu-offtopic - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:34] <digital_k> lol
[03:34] <digital_k> oops
[03:35] <danny3793> heptofite2: you can always compile your own kernel :P, but maybe you can make a dazzling CD car ;), just think, people could see you from miles away
[03:35] <SlimeyPete> !offtopic
[03:35] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[03:35] <Heptofite2> digital_k, i was just asking a question for somebody else, thats why
[03:35] <digital_k> SlimeyPete:thank you
[03:35] <melman101> Hey all
[03:35] <digital_k> hi melman
[03:35] <Heptofite2> danny3793, i don't think you undertand, its not a matter of precompiled kernels, i dislike linux kernel code as a whole
[03:35] <digital_k> Heptofite2: i simply meant that if you have a grievance with linux, this is not the place for it. :)
[03:36] <Heptofite2> digital_k, i was just explaining why i wasn't going to hand them out, heh
[03:36] <Frogzoo> linux stole my cheese!!
[03:36] <RivaeAerya> HELP!!!! I just got back from school, turned on my pc.. and saw the resolution was REALLY low.. so I logged in, and i try to set it, but i can't set it to high resolutions!

HELP! i can't even read the messages this way without my eyes hurting
[03:36] <Heptofite2> i mean, people know i've got them, if they want them they can have them, i just am not going to promote it
[03:36] <aabrahao> Hi, how can I acess the ubuntu via internet?
[03:36] <digital_k> Heptofite2: place them in a box with a sign and let people get them if they want them.
[03:36] <digital_k> thats a good idea
[03:37] <RivaeAerya> Why are you guys ignoring me?
[03:37] <zero> Heptofite2: beercoasters
[03:37] <Heptofite2> zero YES
[03:37] <hammer> thank you it worked gnome-panel is back again .......glad I dont have to go back  to vista..........will get the manual out know to learn the basic commands thnks again :)

[03:38] <Costel> after recompiling a kernel i want to copy  it on a diferent partition,copying the file  "vmlinuz" is enough?
[03:38] <RivaeAerya> digital_k: Alright. (I have bad expriences with this channel, everytime i ask something, no one answers and i am forced to use #ubuntu-offtopic)
[03:38] <geet> Heptofite2: Use google?
[03:38] <krinns> hi all
[03:38] <Heptofite2> geet why would i google when i can ask a channel full of ubuntu users?
[03:38] <digital_k> RivaeAerya: patience is a virtue, even if I dont believe it is. ;)

[03:38] <Catoptromancy> heh
[03:38] <krinns> any idea
[03:38] <rausb0> RivaeAerya: do you know which gfx card (chipset) you have and which driver is configured in xorg.conf?
[03:38] <RivaeAerya> digital_k: heh, well, i waited a day for answers back then, while chatting in #ubuntu-offtopic, and STILL no one answered
[03:39] <zero> gordonjcp: its a setting. dont remeber exactly

[03:39] <digital_k> ahhh the dreaded 9250
[03:39] <gordonjcp> it's not a setting, because if I do ":syn on" it says it's not available in that version
[03:39] <zmo> gordonjcp: enable syntax highlighting globally in /etc/vim/vimrc
[03:39] <RivaeAerya> digital_k: Yep. my computer supports nothing but that card
[03:39] <rausb0> RivaeAerya: did you check the Section Screen in the xorg.conf file?
[03:39] <sahil__> can someone tell me how to install the "cube effect" on ubuntu 7.04 ? I want to impress my Vista friends
[03:39] <RivaeAerya> rausb0: I checked the whole conf and nothing was altered, and i didn't do it either
[03:40] <soulraven> i have xf86-video-sis-0.9.1
[03:40] <digital_k> RivaeAerya: reconfigure xorg to use the vesa drivers perhaps.
[03:40] <gordonjcp> zmo: E319: Sorry, the command is not available in this version: syntax on
[03:40] <RivaeAerya> rausb0: I just came back from school, after having used the computer yesterday, and now its that way. Is it an update?

[03:40] <Lacrymology> my computer froze during the distro update process
[03:40] <gordonjcp> zmo: weird
[03:40] <kbrooks> Seveas: auto kick?
[03:40] <VSpike> RivaeAerya: It looks like the driver failed to read parameters from your monitor correctly and therefore tried to use failsafe defaults
[03:40] <Lacrymology> and now it won-t boot up
[03:41] <RivaeAerya> rausb0: Pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21816/
[03:41] <RivaeAerya> VSpike: oh... well, weird... my monitor hasn't altered either
[03:41] <TimGroe> Lacrymology: do you get any error messsages left behind?
[03:41] <gordonjcp> zmo: that's got it, wonder why it's not installed when you initially install vim...?
[03:41] <gordonjcp> zmo: thanks
[03:41] <Lacrymology> TimGroe: no, It just doesnt get any further than the "checking filesystems"

[03:42] <kbrooks> Gekkko[PDA] : what tutorial have you followed?
[03:42] <VSpike> RivaeAerya: have you tried powering down the monitor?  Also check the vga connector.  Then restart the server.  If all else fails, you can override the monitor detection and specify the data yourself
[03:42] <Gekkko[PDA] > it says cant access /dev/kqemu
[03:42] <TimGroe> aaaah, Lacrymology I used to have that issue, and then, this one time, I decided to wait for about 30 minutes, and it booted \o/
[03:42] <rausb0> RivaeAerya: which resolution is configured in your xorg.conf?
[03:42] <Gekkko[PDA] > no tut.
[03:42] <kbrooks> Gekkko[PDA] : you have to load kqemu
[03:42] <TimGroe> ( made me feel alot better when it booted back up again, let me tell you that :P )
[03:42] <Lacrymology> and when it was upgradign there was a "script found error" thing and then it was ever slower until everything was unresponsibe

[03:43] <Gekkko[PDA] > lol thx
[03:43] <Lacrymology> I don-t think rebooting during update was the smartest thing to do, but there was nothing else, and I don-t know.. is there a way of upgrading a system from the liveCD_
[03:43] <Lacrymology> ?
[03:43] <kbrooks> Gekkko[PDA] : kqemu isn't a program :-)

[03:48] <zero> timgroe: already had the package
[03:48] <rausb0> RivaeAerya: your monitor section is missing all timing values. and automatic timing detection (DDC) fails. so Xorg falls back to conservative timing values.
[03:48] <rausb0> RivaeAerya: i doubt this has worked before
[03:49] <rausb0> RivaeAerya: you are absolutely sure that nothing changed in the monitor/gfx card cabling?
[03:49] <RivaeAerya> rausb0: I don't have understanding of those principles. I guess i'll just have to let it reconfigure
[03:49] <abrahao> Hi, How Can I access the ubuntu server via internet?

[03:52] <danny3793> RivaeAerya: in your terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal) you type sudo gedit file/location/filename
[03:53] <zmo> NET||abuse: it think you should add the channel eg: suwdo iwconfig ath0 mode monitor channel 6
[03:53] <RivaeAerya> rausb0: yes

[03:53] <RivaeAerya> err, rausb0*
[03:53] <RivaeAerya> rausb0: but i have no further understanding of my computer hardware other then the names of it's parts.

[03:56] <zero> timgroe: remove reinstall worked
[03:56] <kbrooks> So, I need some name ideas. I am doing a program for easy encryption/decryption, but am not sure what name it should have.
[03:56] <albert> Costel, i'll try it
[03:56] <TimGroe> zero: problem fixed?
[03:56] <CosMicK-> hello
[03:56] <zero> timgroe: stil got the error, but it didnt dump
[03:57] <CosMicK-> whats wrong with my xchat, it crashes
[03:57] <kbrooks> Ideas from anyone here would be appreciated. The encryption/decryption is done with gnupg
[03:57] <albert> CosMicK-, could be probably anything
[03:57] <Lacrymology> during dpkg -- configure -a I get this
[03:57] <TimGroe> hmmmm.
[03:57] <RivaeAerya> rausb0: alright, done
[03:57] <Lacrymology> compiz
[03:57] <Lacrymology>  openoffice.org-gnome
[03:57] <Lacrymology>  libgnome2.0-cil
[03:57] <Lacrymology>  desktop-effects
[03:57] <Lacrymology> Processing was halted because there were too many errors.
[03:57] <TimGroe> sorry to hear that zero
[03:57] <kbrooks> TimGroe: oh hi
[03:57] <aglet> I'm trying to get an 8-port serial card working under Ubuntu 7.04 -- see http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21820/ -- can you help me get this device working?
[03:57] <CosMicK-> i cant fe. apply a new server or anything
[03:57] <CosMicK-> it just comes here
[03:57] <TimGroe> kbrooks: G'day :)
[03:57] <kbrooks> TimGroe: if this is you, hi again
[03:57] <rausb0> RivaeAerya: so the file has two more lines now? alright
[03:57] <TimGroe> kbrooks: yeah, 'tis me :)
[03:57] <RivaeAerya> rausb0: ... hey, it worked!
[03:58] <rausb0> RivaeAerya: good :)
[03:58] <RivaeAerya> rausb0: okay, WHAT happened? has my config been modified?
[03:58] <TimGroe> kbrooks: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=450251
[03:58] <kbrooks> hmm, protfile would be a good name
[03:58] <Vlet> in a terminal, iirc, there's a way to sort of 'bookmark' the directory you're in, so later on you can easily return to it without having to retype the full path... can anyone remind me how?
[03:58] <RivaeAerya> rausb0: isn't this a quick way to fix it, instead of the correct way?
[03:58] <aglet> I think I need to use setserial, but I don't understand why it's not picking them up atomatically on boot
[03:58] <maverick> thanks bye
[03:58] <rausb0> RivaeAerya: i don't know. possibly.
[03:58] <dark_light> kbrooks, the program will encrypt individual files? it will encrypt a directory (tar+encryption)?. it will encrypt a partition? it will encrypt a network connection (via tunneling)?
[03:58] <zero> timgroe: no, firefox managed to start now, but the commandline gives me that same error from gtkrc
[03:58] <rausb0> RivaeAerya: the correct way would also have changed this file, so no big difference
[03:59] <TimGroe> well, at least you are part way there :)
[03:59] <kbrooks> dark_light: it is GUI, and it can encrypt files at least for now
[03:59] <TimGroe> kbrooks: easy way to make .debs :)
[03:59] <rausb0> RivaeAerya: maybe this is a good time to back up your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file :)
[03:59] <RivaeAerya> rausb0: okay, this f*cked up some stuff, i can't get 1280x1024 anymore..
[03:59] <kbrooks> TimGroe: h/o
[03:59] <n0n4m3> http://www.rula.net/Screenshot.png
[03:59] <RivaeAerya> rausb0: i think i'm going to try autoconf
[03:59] <rausb0> RivaeAerya: okay
[04:00] <n0n4m3> only desktop 1 seems okay
[04:00] <ebees> Hi all, I have 6.06 installed on my l my desktop and laptop. I have a scanner which works as user on the desktop, but despite comparing settings between the two machines, I can only use it as root on the laptop. I've google-boogled the problem and checked UbuntuForums (where I posted my own fix the first time around on my desktop). Any advice or assistance would be appreciated.
[04:00] <Costel> i want to share internet with another interface any tutorials?
[04:00] <ozonik> alooo
[04:00] <Costel> ozonic esti roman?
[04:00] <n0n4m3> crappy :(
[04:01] <mc44> ebees: have you tried adding "scanner" to the users groups on the laptop?

[04:01] <Lacrymology> sorry
[04:01] <ebees> mc44. Yeah. I run groups and it shows me as belonging to scanner
[04:01] <Costel>  want to share internet with another interface any tutorials?
[04:01] <dark_light> kbrooks, I think all things I said would be useful to someone in a "gui encryption program". Maybe encrypting an entire directory is sufficiently be easy to implement
[04:02] <TimGroe> Lacrymology: delete the two files that are listed, and try again :)
[04:02] <albert> hi, i got libdvdcss2 installed and it worked properly on the first dvds of lotr - special edition. now i can't play the third because of some mystic encryption. some advice?
[04:02] <NET||abuse> zmo, there is some mention here http://tinyurl.com/2p6ods about having to destroy the ath0 interface and recreate an interface in monitor mode...?? what do you make of that?
[04:02] <dark_light> is sufficiently be easy, hmm, .o is sufficiently easy, i think, .o
[04:02] <RivaeAerya> rausb0: the autoconfig solved it
[04:02] <NET||abuse> zmo, seems like an odd practice.
[04:02] <ozonik> i use xubuntu, why xubuntu mount all my partition ? how can i turn it off ?
[04:02] <RivaeAerya> rausb0: i think it even made X faster
[04:02] <rausb0> RivaeAerya: good. then backup your xorg.conf now :)
[04:02] <RivaeAerya> rausb0: to where?
[04:02] <n0n4m3> guess no ideas :/

[04:05] <alesan> how do I correctly install ndiswrapper on 7.04? I've read to install ndiswrapper-utils but
[04:05] <alesan> it gives me an error saying Package ndiswrapper-utils is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[04:05] <albert> hi, i got libdvdcss2 installed and it worked properly on the first dvds of lotr - special edition. now i can't play the third because of some mystic encryption. some advice?
[04:05] <mc44> alesan: ndiswrapper-utils-1.9
[04:06] <RivaeAerya> rausb0: alright (i used to back it up in the same directory, but that's not very handy)
[04:06] <n0n4m3> TimGroe,  i have problems with aiglx/beryl on my ati r9600 card... 4 desktops on a cube, and only desktop 1 shows me the true background... all the other desktops are weird looking... eg. background doesn't refresh... it just stays that way... in case i move windows and stuff... look at http://www.rula.net/Screenshot.png
[04:06] <TimGroe> I do not know much about beryl, just before we go there :P
[04:06] <TimGroe> I can't afford a GFX card
[04:07] <albert> well, boot windows i guess
[04:07] <TimGroe> n0n4m3: wow, looks ... interesting xD
[04:07] <alesan> thanks mc44
[04:07] <Detrak> Hi, I'm trying to stop xserver so I can install the drivers for my nvidia card, what command do I need to issue?
[04:07] <alesan> I must say that got me confused... why is there a package named ndiswrapper-utils and another called the same with a version at the end
[04:08] <Bixby> Detrak sudo killall gdm
[04:08] <dyrne> Detrak: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop       then just start or restart later
[04:08] <luca____> hello ^^
[04:08] <Detrak> thank you bixby and dyrne
[04:08] <Lacrymology> TimGroe: removing the files that caused the error wasnt working
[04:08] <hammedhaaret> Hi. got feisty on a laptop with widescreen... the native resolution of the screen is 1280x800 which i also prefer to use.   every time i boot though. it always starts up in 1024x800, even though i changed it just a moment before.  another thing. I can only change it to 1280x800 in the Nvidia-settings opened with Alt+F2.  --hammedhaaret
[04:09] <mc44> alesan: there isn't a package named ndiswrapper-utlis :)
[04:09] <alesan> utils I mean
[04:09] <HHP2K> Lucky you, I'm running 1280x1024 and I can only get 800x600 on ubuntu :(
[04:09] <mc44> alesan: as I say, there isn't a package, as evidenced by your error

[04:12] <tondar> hello all
[04:13] <JediMaster> hi guys, can someone explain what the %age in top for "%wa" means? I presume it's processes waiting?
[04:13] <haluzak> hi, i installed beryl and when i want to change theme just nothing happens, i change it though emerald, anyone knows how to change it?
[04:13] <tondar> is safari for linux too?
[04:13] <tondar> web browser
[04:13] <Kabuntu> tondar: No.
[04:13] <tondar> ?
[04:13] <tondar> Kabuntu: thanks
[04:13] <Kabuntu> Welcome ;-)
[04:13] <TimGroe> tondar: Konqueror from KDE uses (almost) the same rendering engine
[04:13] <IdleOne> Kabuntu, install build-essential and it should resolve the C issues when compiling
[04:13] <preaction> tondar: konqueror was the project safari/webkit was forked from
[04:13] <hammedhaaret> dyrne: yep ive been there... "1280x800" is already written there... but doesn't help
[04:13] <JediMaster> I currently have a load of 5.5, yet the cpu usage is low: Cpu(s): 10.5%us,  2.2%sy,  0.0%ni, 13.5%id, 73.1%wa,  0.0%hi,  0.7%si,  0.0%st
[04:14] <dyrne> haluzak: the emerald theme manager. changes should be reflected as soon as you click on the theme. you are using beryl as win manager when you do this?
[04:14] <tondar> TimGroe: yeah cool, but im using gnome
[04:14] <Kabuntu> IdleOne: So doing "apt-get install build-essentials" will create this directory?
[04:14] <zmo> NET||abuse: http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/MonitorModeInterface It seems the madwifi driver has been changed a bit
[04:14] <tondar> preaction: : yeah cool, but im using gnome
[04:14] <IdleOne> Kabuntu, yes and use sudo apt-get install build-essential
[04:14] <TimGroe> tondar: the things we do for the ones we love xD
[04:14] <preaction> tondar: you can still use konqueror
[04:15] <Kabuntu> Right.  Thanks a lot, IdleOne ;_)
[04:15] <IdleOne> no problem
[04:15] <dyrne> hammedhaaret: only other thing i would think is to check horiz and vert settings in monitor manual. i guess it could be gnome too. id adduser and see if they have same issue
[04:15] <tondar> preaction: any reasons why I should use konqueror and not firefox?
[04:15] <preaction> tondar: none whatsoever
[04:15] <tondar> preaction: k
[04:16] <NET||abuse> zmo, thanks for that post,, i'll check it out now,,
[04:16] <tondar> preaction: u using konq or FF?
[04:16] <IdleOne> tondar, you can also use IceApe or any other browser you like
[04:16] <preaction> tondar: i'm using firefox
[04:16] <haluzak> dyrne:yes i use it as win manager and when i click on theme in emerald nothing happens
[04:16] <tondar> IdleOne: is that same as iceweasle ??
[04:16] <tondar> preaction: k
[04:17] <melsu> helo, i have a problem, all my video players crash with bad alloc error. Googling and forums did not help much

[04:17] <Lacrymology> can somebody take a look at this? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21824/
[04:18] <tondar> IdleOne: what is the diff between iceape and iceweasel??
[04:18] <IdleOne> tondar, join #ubuntu-mozillateam and ask in there
[04:18] <Yggdrasil> is theree any way to add a cmd to execute after coming out of suspend?

[04:19] <tondar> IdleOne: k
[04:19] <sp3tt> Any ideas as to what it could be?
[04:19] <turbinoscope> hi how are u all
[04:19] <mjr> Yggdrasil, /etc/acpi contains the scripts related to suspending, you can probably add it somewhere there, one would suspect resume.d
[04:19] <melsu> helo, i have a problem, all my video players crash with bad alloc error. Googling and forums did not help much
[04:20] <Yggdrasil> mjr thks

[04:28] <dyrne> n0n4m3: im pretty sure there is a /home/$USER/.beryl directory
[04:28] <tondar> Yggdrasil: this will take me months to figure out what the heck is going on
[04:28] <tondar> Yggdrasil: come on gimme something more fun and light

[04:38] <sp3tt> suspend from the command line?

[04:40] <Garnol> Hi guys: I have a problem with my SD Card reader .. i dont know if it is even accepted by the my ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper) .. This Cardreader is included in my computer..

[04:41] <Kabuntu> I'm trying to install my kernel-source package.  When I do "uname -a" I get "2.6.17-10-server #2 SMP".  What would the name of that package be?
[04:41] <specialfreak> no it wont work, but tks anyway lbawinowns
[04:42] <tondar> clintfish: whats the school project thingy?
[04:42] <lbawinowns> specialfreak : hehe, I'm noob to linux but I like the idea very much ;)

[04:42] <clintfish> a image film is a long promotion film  aournd 10 minutes. Next  school year (some months) i want to make something with opensource
[04:42] <Frogzoo> Garnol: tail -f /var/log/messages & pop in the sd card - see if it's recognised
[04:42] <tondar> REQUEST an app on ubuntu :)
[04:43] <specialfreak> lbawinowns , we are 2... but it must to work. it was good to managing mp3 names (when i do at hand)
[04:43] <`opus> Could anybody point me to information on adding an Ubuntu box to a Windows 2003 Active Directory domain?
[04:43] <clintfish> project under the title like "can you make a move project with opensource?!"
[04:43] <orbin> Kabuntu: apt-cache search linux-source
[04:44] <tondar> clintfish: move project? or movie?
[04:44] <clintfish> movie project
[04:44] <clintfish> (sorry work on a old mac keyboard which has hard buttons. you have to put your hole weight on it =) )
[04:44] <NuB> Hey, I'm running ubuntu from a live cd to try it out.  I see that I can't play videos trailers at movie sites.  Anybody know what I need to do?
[04:45] <tondar> clintfish: well is that a software proj or a real movie
[04:45] <tondar> ?
[04:45] <dBgBdWolf> is there an upgrade path from debian etch to ubuntu?
[04:45] <clintfish> NuB: Because or the codecs. ubuntu has just free codecs at the beginning
[04:45] <sparr> packages.ubuntu.com down?
[04:45] <NuB> Its just a link that you click on to watch a movie trailer
[04:45] <clintfish> a real movie project (im a student of photograph and we learn to make movies too)
[04:46] <sparr> dBgBdWolf: if you're crazy you can try changing your sources and doing a dist-upgrade  :)
[04:46] <tondar> clintfish: oh
[04:46] <tondar> clintfish: and how could we help?
[04:46] <alesan> which server should I add to install skype?
[04:46] <clintfish> I mean is it a good idea?! should i make it or is it stupid
[04:46] <alesan> s/server/repository
[04:46] <burakkara> mother fucker
[04:46] <dBgBdWolf> sparr: probably not as crazy as reverse engineering games, but i'm still probably not that crazy
[04:47] <burakkara> asshole
[04:47] <tondar> clintfish: it depends, what is your aim and goal in the proj?
[04:47] <clintfish> I wrote a email to canonical / (mail of shuttleworth) about sponsoren or interesting
[04:47] <Frogzoo> !skype > alesan
[04:48] <clintfish> tondar: we arn't sure whats our goals. there exist two goals
[04:48] <tondar> clintfish: and his respond?
[04:48] <NuB> Can I download things while using the live cd to see if it will work,  like new codecs?  And other things like different browsers?  Will IE7 work with ubuntu on the live cd?
[04:48] <clintfish> didn't get a respond
[04:48] <tondar> he's
[04:48] <tondar> clintfish: haha
[04:48] <dBgBdWolf> NuB: um, i think ie7 will not run on ubuntu.
[04:48] <`opus> I'm looking for some help on adding an Ubuntu box to a Windows 2003 Active Directory domain
[04:48] <sparr> NuB: yes.  the live cd is a complete working installation of ubuntu.
[04:49] <clintfish> one goal: do make something for ubuntu. don't know what but do something for it
[04:49] <Frogzoo> NuB: no to IE7 - yes to everything else
[04:49] <tondar> clintfish: are you trying to expand the words of ubuntu like a commercial or ...?
[04:49] <sparr> NuB: for ie7 youll have to install wine
[04:49] <sdf_> how can i add subtitles for any movie?
[04:49] <jhaig> NuB: I think you can download things, but how much will depend on how much memory your machine has.
[04:49] <Garnol> Hi guys: I have a problem with my SD Card reader .. i dont know if it is even accepted by the my ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper) .. This Cardreader is included in my computer.
[04:49] <clintfish> we would like to make the project under creative commons license
[04:49] <specialfreak> (taketwo) id like to search for some word but when i do that it appears all the words whith "the" like them or theme etc. i want just with single " the ". anybody knows if its possible?
[04:49] <jackobize_> I guys: I'm using an ATI Radeon X1600 configured with fglrx drivers. Problem is that the screen freeze at random moments. Who do I fix this ?
[04:49] <sparr> specialfreak: what are you searching in?
[04:50] <specialfreak> nautilus
[04:50] <specialfreak> bu i can use another fm, if this wont work with that
[04:50] <Frogzoo> specialfreak: egrep ' word '
[04:50] <specialfreak> ah ok ill try
[04:50] <clintfish> so it's free. but your school wants that it would be possible to get money. I just want to make something for ubuntu, because i can'T make programms but i can make photos and movies
[04:50] <tondar> clintfish: donno man but you need to know what you going to do, isnt this something primary in making or producing MOVIES
[04:50] <tondar> lol
[04:51] <jhaig> NuB: If you have to use IE, have a look at http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page
[04:51] <sparr> specialfreak: i havent used nautilus...  you probably want to search for \bthe\b
[04:51] <NuB> If it is the codecs which are preventing me from being able to view movie trailers at sites like "Moviephone," for example, does anyone know of where I should go to download new codecs?
[04:51] <clintfish> tondar: i can tell you the second goal if you want(or the second variant)
[04:51] <specialfreak> all right spar, doest work. what file manager to use that?
[04:51] <tondar> clintfish: sure
[04:52] <dyrne> NuB: first thing id do is 'apt-cache search mplayer | grep mozilla' and download the package it lists
[04:52] <sparr> specialfreak: thats regex syntax for word breaks...  i dont search in file managers
[04:52] <orbin> dyrne: they're running off the live cd
[04:52] <clintfish> second variant would be a scientific project under this question :"Is it possible to great a movie with just open source software"
[04:52] <nexous> That sucks, just spend 5 hours downloading/installing fedora core 6 this weekend, realizing that ubuntu is so much better.
[04:53] <specialfreak> ahh ok. its a shame. renaming mp3 without singlesearch is a very tired work
[04:53] <Bogaurd> hmm - i'm getting weird performance with beryl on feisty. it runs fine at first, then slowly comes to a crawl, to the point where my mouse does not move smoothly, and I cant use the system cause it's too slow. Then I reboot, and it's back to normal for a few hours...
[04:53] <dBgBdWolf> single search?
[04:53] <dBgBdWolf> so, any other ideas for an upgrade path from debian etch to ubuntu?
[04:54] <dBgBdWolf> hmm
[04:54] <tondar> clintfish: I love the 2nd idea, yes that's it work on that
[04:54] <bulmer> Bogaurd: check the memory it uses..try ipcs when runt first and then when it starts to slow down..and see if there are significant memory usage
[04:55] <n0cturna1> does anyone happen to know how to make dmraid work when it won't discover the raid disks? i have recreated the "array" and reinit'd several times but to no avail. It is an intel ICH5R raid controller
[04:55] <Bogaurd> bulmer: what's the command to check mem usage?
[04:55] <bulmer> Bogaurd: free and ipcs
[04:55] <nexous> Can I build my own custom ubuntu cd?
[04:55] <jsmidt> I want to mount a cdrom.  How do I know where it is on my computer?  I thought it was supposed to be in /dev/hda, but the terminal says it doesn't exist.  Does anybody know how I can find it?
[04:55] <nexous> Such as by removing items i don'
[04:55] <bulmer> make a note, and see if they do grow
[04:55] <clintfish> yes but it's boring to do something just for the school. i dont  want that the school is the boss of this project. so i want that someone else is the boss (open source distri like ubuntu. ubuntu i use and i like it)
[04:56] <nexous> Such as by removing items i don't want, and adding packages that I do.
[04:56] <hidan> hey does anyone know where the font folder on the Ubuntu livecd is located? i messed up my fonts yesterday, 1 hr after i installed feisty.
[04:56] <clintfish> jsmidt: /media/ (cdrom name)
[04:56] <HesAShelikeMe> Hello. Is there a Tool with which i can make Flash movies
[04:56] <oyvind> How do I install the nvidia driver. When the nvidia kernel source is installed?
[04:56] <HesAShelikeMe> ?
[04:56] <tondar> clintfish: yeah, I get what you saying
[04:57] <Bogaurd> bulmer
[04:57] <bulmer> jsmidt: dmesg | grep hd  and see which of them is matched to your cdrom
[04:57] <clintfish> tondar: so i try it that way. that ppl get interesting by that idea or do say: "Jeah there exist one guy who want to make that"
[04:57] <HesAShelikeMe> like .swfs
[04:57] <Frogzoo> jsmidt: hal should just pick it up - insert a cd & see what happens
[04:57] <Bogaurd> free shows me as having 70mb free out of 1gb - with 400mb cached
[04:57] <Bogaurd> with beryl running
[04:57] <clintfish> oyvind: envy is a good nvidia install programm
[04:57] <tondar> clintfish: you got to start on something man
[04:57] <PriceChild> !nvidia | oyvind
[04:57] <ubotu> oyvind: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:57] <PriceChild> oyvind, have you read that?
[04:57] <Frogzoo> Bogaurd: free always shows nothing free lol - it uses spare mem for cache
[04:58] <clintfish> tondar: how you mean that !?
[04:58] <tondar> clintfish: but you have to know if its worth it
[04:58] <PriceChild> oyvind, if you're on feisty its a matter of opening up restricted drivers and checking a checkbox
[04:58] <Bogaurd> Frogzoo: that's what I thought, but it was suggested to me :)
[04:58] <Frogzoo> Bogaurd: you can either just use top, or you can subtract free's 'cache' numbers
[04:58] <clintfish> tondar: thats the last project in school. wouldnt be that a great start in real life when it work ?! =)
Did that but it wont work with my 8800GTX.
[04:59] <tondar> clintfish: sure, thats what I meant
[04:59] <clintfish> =) okay
[04:59] <bulmer> Bogaurd: you forgot i also suggested ipcs  and make note when you just boot up and when it starts to slowdown
[04:59] <Bogaurd> Frogzoo: top show's a very high 'VIRT' value... what's that mean?
[04:59] <clintfish> (sorry my english is just so bad)
[04:59] <Frogzoo> Bogaurd: but best to use htop in fact
[04:59] <PriceChild> oyvind, ah. Well then you'll either have to install manually from nvidia.com or use a 3rd party script like envy. Neither is supported, and both may be dangerous.
[04:59] <dBgBdWolf> cat /proc/meminfo
[04:59] <jsmidt> Frogzoo, hal does pick it up, I just need to mount it as root.  So I need to umount then mount.  I am trying to figure out how to do that.
[04:59] <Bogaurd> hey bulmer, i tried ipcs, but i can't make head or tail of that :)
[05:00] <PriceChild> oyvind, wait a minute....
[05:00] <bulmer> Bogaurd: i can not spoon feed you..then start using man or google okay?
[05:00] <PriceChild> oyvind, have you tried doing sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new and then "sudo nvidia-xconfig" ?
[05:00] <PriceChild> oyvind, because thinking about it that should work...
nope.
[05:00] <Bogaurd> sure bulmer, I've done so. I was just seeing if this was a common/known problem
[05:01] <mks4fun> Question: does ubuntu server version have a GUI?
[05:01] <PriceChild> oyvind, yeah that will work
[05:01] <Frogzoo> jsmidt: you don't need to mount it as root, you just need to be a member of cdrom group
[05:01] <saxin_> mks4fun: no.
[05:01] <clintfish> tondar: do you think it's possible to get ubuntu (canonical) as sponsor for this project?!
[05:01] <saxin_> not default
[05:01] <PriceChild> mks4fun, ubuntu server is ubuntu without a gui
[05:01] <mks4fun> thansk saxin
[05:01] <mks4fun> wow, no wonder I could not get it to come up
[05:01] <mks4fun> thanks pricechild
[05:01] <bulmer> Bogaurd i am not very sure, but as I suggest, look at the patters of memory usage..at fresh from boot and then at times when it starts to slow down
[05:01] <bulmer> patterns*
[05:01] <Bogaurd> bulmer: ok, thanks :) will do
[05:01] <tondar> clintfish: every thing is possible as long as you want and really work hard for t
[05:02] <tondar> clintfish: sure
[05:02] <mks4fun> does it make sense to load LAMP onto the std. ubuntu?
[05:02] <Smith-ub> sure it does
[05:02] <Frogzoo> mks4fun: of course
[05:02] <mks4fun> ok, many thanks! I'll try that!
[05:03] <clintfish> tondar: but it's hard to start. and i mean i would like to get a respond of canonical or some of ubuntu ppl. and dont know how to start really
[05:03] <tondar> clintfish: well agree that its hard, you could alway mail or contact by phone
[05:04] <clintfish> phone isnt cheap from austria to isle of man =)

[05:09] <Pelo> AlexC_,  I think if you right clck the file and add to archive it should open up fileroller and you can probably set a password from the menues there
[05:09] <karan> right now i am viewing the users Discussion->users
[05:09] <AlexC_> Pelo: fileroller has no menus
[05:09] <karan> but i need the list to be on right hand side
[05:10] <AlexC_> Pelo: if what I am seeing is fileroller! just a simple dialog with, Archive and Location
[05:10] <Pelo> karan,  try paling aroun with the options in menu > display,   the menu list is on the right but it is usualy  resized to almost nothing
[05:10] <thole> fh
[05:10] <Rerun3d> hello
[05:10] <Pelo> aleX-xx, hold on
[05:10] <AlexC_> Pelo: nevermind, I've found it - I ran file-roller through terminal ... time to check if it's there
[05:11] <Rerun3d> couple questions for anyone.
[05:11] <Pelo> Rerun3d,  just ask them
[05:11] <dBgBdWolf> so, any other ideas for an upgrade path from debian etch to ubuntu?
[05:11] <Rerun3d> software distributed as rpm must be converted to deb correct?
[05:11] <Pelo> kbrooks,  so everything is working fine ?
[05:11] <noelferreira> what is the best editor for java or #C? i'm tired of emacs. i need one that open diferent files in diferent tabs in the same editor. ?
[05:11] <AlexC_> Pelo: however, which should I choose? bz2 or gzip (+tar), I need it so the client can not crack this archive at all!
[05:12] <Pelo> dBgBdWolf,  just back up your home folder and clean install
[05:12] <dBgBdWolf> AlexC_: neither does encryption.  try pgp/gpg
[05:12] <Pelo> Rerun3d,  you are better off getting the source and compiling
[05:12] <harry_> how do I tell wine to run a program as windows xp?
[05:12] <AlexC_> dBgBdWolf: hum, I have no idea about that - could you explain more?
[05:12] <MojoWork> hi. is there no longer a separate live cd for feisty?
[05:13] <MojoWork> er...live dvd or whatever
[05:13] <mc44> dBgBdWolf: change your sources and see how much stuff breaks :)
[05:13] <Pelo> AlexC_, I'm not that familiar with the security aspect of each archive type, if your client is jsut a regular user it is doubtfull he'll be able to crack any type of passworded archive
[05:13] <Pelo> harry_,  ask in #winehq
[05:13] <Frogzoo> MojoWork: the install cd runs as a live
[05:14] <Pelo> mojojojo_,  the live cd is now called the desktop cd as far as I know
[05:14] <MojoWork> excellend
[05:14] <MojoWork> er..exellent
[05:14] <AlexC_> Pelo: well, he knows a bit about computers ... see, thing is - he owes me money, so I'm going to send him the files archived, with a lovely password - so he does infact have the files, however if he wants to use them, he'll have to pay me =)
[05:14] <Pelo> mojojojo_,  two stickes
[05:14] <swatF1RESTORM> any other Totem users having problems with streaming windows media?
[05:14] <mojojojo_> Pelo:  excuse me?
[05:14] <MojoWork> mojojojo_: bad nick completion
[05:14] <Pelo> mojojojo_,  srry nckcomp
[05:14] <dBgBdWolf> alex: unix philosophy is to have separate functions into simple programs. both tar and gzip do not (to my knowledge) handle encryption.  pgp and gpg are probably your best bet.
[05:15] <mojojojo_> Pelo:  np :)
[05:15] <MojoWork> yeah it bugged me with dapper that the live cd was separate and you couldn't install from it
[05:15] <MojoWork> this is a nice change
[05:15] <AlexC_> dBgBdWolf: I don't really need encryption, just a password
[05:15] <AlexC_> well I guess it would be encryptino actual =D
[05:15] <real96> hey
[05:15] <MojoWork> thanks guys
[05:15] <AlexC_> hey
[05:15] <real96> is anyone familiar with pidgin?
[05:15] <Pelo> mojojojo_,  it was not seperate , you could install from it , maybe you jsut had a bad cd or your comp couldn'T handle the live cd installation requrements
[05:16] <trpr_> AlexC_: you could encrypt the file to some disposable keypair. then when he pays you give him the private key / password so he can decrypt and use them
[05:16] <TimGroe> real96: yes
[05:16] <TimGroe> I run it now :)
[05:16] <jessica> ola
[05:16] <real96> at first, it crashed on me when I installed it TimGroe
[05:16] <TimGroe> really?
[05:16] <kbrooks> TimGroe: ping
[05:16] <TimGroe> it worked as soon as I installed it :P
[05:16] <TimGroe> kbrooks: pong
[05:16] <jessica> k tal estays
[05:16] <real96> yes TimGroe, but I was uploading it from Gaim
[05:17] <real96> wow...huge chatroom
[05:17] <real96> grr...:-D
[05:17] <Pelo> real96, itsmostly dead
[05:17] <TimGroe> kbrooks: whats up?
[05:17] <real96> ok, I like the new interface...
Well that dident work. I did get this error when booting. Need libwfb but wfbScreenInit not found
[05:17] <dBgBdWolf> ouch!
[05:17] <Rerun3d> has anyone used suse 10.2 and compared it to ubuntu?
[05:17] <real96> I mean it's less annoying than Gaim
[05:17] <TimGroe> yeah
[05:17] <real96> Gaim scares the freak out of me
[05:18] <kbrooks> TimGroe: see pm
[05:18] <AlexC_> Rerun3d: try them your self,
[05:18] <real96> sometimes
[05:18] <artir> have we got some forum about ubuntu mobile?
[05:18] <artir> err IRC
[05:18] <Pelo> Rerun3d,  we dont like suse,  novel made a deal with the devil
[05:18] <TimGroe> kbrooks: can you send the pm again?
[05:18] <real96> what's ubunto, I am kind of technically challenged
[05:18] <Rerun3d> yea I think thats the plan, I will try them and see, I guess thats the only way
[05:18] <TimGroe> I was not ID'd
[05:18] <mc44> artir: #ubuntu-mobile
[05:18] <artir> tnks
[05:18] <Morrissey> hi! I am trying to capture my sweet beryl desktop on video, how would be the best approach on that? Using AIGLX?
[05:19] <TimGroe> kbrooks: what did the PM say :P
[05:19] <Pelo> real96, ubuntu is a distribution of the gnu-linux operating sistem,  in other words an alternative to windows
[05:19] <mc44> Rerun3d: ubuntu is better, honest, completely unbiased we are in here :)
[05:19] <kitsuneofdoom> I'm having a problem with the bcm43xx driver, in Ubuntu fiesty. When I try connecting (very good wireless signal, I'm like, 10-20 ft away), it thinks it's connected, but I can't even shell in to one of the boxes on the LAN, let alone get the internet.
[05:19] <real96> Pelo: ah, ok
[05:19] <kbrooks> TimGroe: okay ... im writing this new program :P
[05:19] <TimGroe> kbrooks: sounds cool :)
[05:19] <ismailmf> pelo its totally different than windows
[05:19] <real96> ok thanks for the help
[05:19] <Rerun3d> mc44: hehe..
[05:19] <real96> :-)
[05:19] <Pelo> real96,  ifyou ended up in this channel chances are you are running linux right now
[05:19] <TimGroe> I am writing some of my own too :)
[05:19] <real96> Pelo: no, I am running windows
[05:20] <Pelo> ismailmf,  windows was used as a reference for someone who seems unfamiliar with what linux is
[05:20] <TimGroe> there is easypkg @ http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=450251
[05:20] <trelous> Ack ! A windows user in here !
[05:20] <davelev> Hi! I'm fairly new to Ubuntu, and generally liking it. But I've messed up the video on one User login by removing the NVidia Restricted drivers. I get a white screen after login, not matter what I do.
[05:20] <General_Miranda> ok see you guys later and thanks for the help
[05:20] <trelous> *smiles*
[05:20] <AlexC_> trelous: no need for that really =)
[05:20] <TimGroe> which is a quick and easy way to make .deb packages
[05:20] <dBgBdWolf> alien
[05:20] <TimGroe> and ShareSource
[05:20] <ismailmf> you cant use that comment anymore pelo its  confusing to the users
[05:20] <TimGroe> Oh my gosh!
[05:20] <Pelo> General_Miranda,  you can download and try ubuntu with a live cd
[05:20] <oyvind> When I installed the nvidia driver true apt-get I get this error : Need libwfb but wfbScreenInit not found. Anyone know how to fix this?
[05:20] <p0seidon`> Hello
[05:20] <trelous> Hay I do windows support all day and do my work in the office on Ubuntu ... it was just a joke *wink*
[05:20] <p0seidon`> good
[05:20] <davelev> The mouse  cursor is still there, but I cannot seem to get any other video.
[05:21] <TimGroe> kbrooks: you should see ShareSource man!
[05:21] <davelev> Any ideas?
[05:21] <justin_> hello
[05:21] <ismailmf> cause they will think the proceedure for doing things in linux is thesame as windows
[05:21] <kitsuneofdoom> davelev: wait, this is only for one user login?
[05:21] <Pelo> ismailmf,  next time you can answer the question
[05:21] <ismailmf> and thats why alot of people who migrate to linux go back to windows
[05:21] <ismailmf> i'm just saying we need a new answer
[05:22] <davelev> kitsuneofdoom: yes just one user.
[05:22] <Pelo> ismailmf,  and I am telling you to come up with one
[05:22] <sarah> hello
[05:22] <Pelo> hello sarah how can we help you today ?
[05:22] <kitsuneofdoom> davelev: well, is there another user with administrative priveleges?
[05:22] <trelous> Hi Sarah
[05:22] <davelev> kitsuneofdoom: yes, I am using it now.
[05:22] <justin_> I'm having a strange problem. About 1hr+ after using any bittorrent client (Ktorrent Azereus), the computer becomes unresponsive, slow and the internet kicks off.
[05:23] <__mikem> Hey, now that I finally got my HP Pavilion Dual Booted, I am having trouble getting the wireless connection set up, basicly, it just won't connect, and I know I am in range of our wireless router
[05:23] <oyvind> No on knows howto fix my problem? When I installed the nvidia driver true apt-get I get this error : Need libwfb but wfbScreenInit not found. Anyone know how to fix this?
[05:23] <zbrown> __mikem: what type of wireless card is it?
[05:23] <__mikem> broadcom I think
[05:23] <Pelo> justin_,  off the top of my head you probably need to adjust your settings like upload speed limit , number of connections,  etc, theck the site of hte client you are using for info
[05:23] <davelev> kitsuneofdoom: I am just finding my way around the system, but would gconf-editor be useful? I'd have to run it in terminal boot though..
[05:23] <kitsuneofdoom> davelev: well, if it's one user, the problem is most likely in that one user's home directory.
[05:24] <__mikem> zbrown I think its a broadcom
[05:24] <e-gLoo> lo
[05:24] <Pelo> oyvind,  try installing the driver you need thrgough   system > admin > restricted drivers
[05:24] <zbrown> __mikem: probably going to need to setup ndiswrapper, afaik broadcom doesn't have any linux drivers
[05:24] <ismailmf> how about linux is a freely distributed os .... that unlike windows doesnt have the vonrabilities of windows and as advance if not more so than mac osx. however it demands the user to learn new ways to handle things
[05:24] <EverythingEvil> b/ping
[05:24] <mc44> zbrown: yes they do, they just need firmware
[05:24] <zbrown> mc44: ah ok, then i stand corrected
[05:24] <kitsuneofdoom> davelev: perhaps. I'm not familiar with the Nividia restricted driver. I have legacy, and another with an ati
[05:25] <Garnol> Hi guys: I have a problem with my SD Card reader .. i dont know if it is even accepted by the my ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper) .. This Cardreader is included in my computer.
[05:25] <Pelo> ismailmf,  you need to keep in mind the expertise level of the average windows user
[05:25] <mc44> zbrown: well, at least, some of them :)
[05:25] <__mikem> zbrown, okay, so do I just type apt-get install ndiswrapper
[05:25] <mc44> __mikem: which card?
[05:25] <kitsuneofdoom> __mikem: if you have some broadcoms, you can use the bcm43xx driver
[05:25] <ismailmf> pelo how so?
[05:25] <zbrown> well its more than that, i've never setup ndiswrapper, mc44 will take you from here it looks like
[05:25] <davelev> kitsuneofdoom: I did figure it would be specific, but is there a way to reset one user's video, I thought it was a system-wide configuration, but the restricted drivers are not enabled on the currnet (working account) so I guess not.
[05:25] <kitsuneofdoom> __mikem: if you go to the terminal, and type lspci, find the card, and paste it here?
[05:26] <dBgBdWolf> how about, linux is an upgrade for windows?
[05:26] <justin_> Pelo, I've used Ktorrent and Azereus before. The problem just started a little bit after Installing Kubuntu 7.04.
[05:26] <davelev> kitsuneofdoom: How would I change another useers settings to fix this?
[05:26] <zbrown> ismailmf: and i wouldn't be so bold as to say 'if more so advance' than osx, they have some pretty revolutionary ideas for how their kernel works, though it could be done better
[05:26] <Pelo> ismailmf,  this is realy a convo for  ubuntu-offtopic and I'm not in mood to do multiple windows atm
I have tryed that. It will not work.
[05:26] <__mikem> kitsuneofdoom, what is the name of the package?
[05:26] <ismailmf> hehehe
[05:26] <kitsuneofdoom> __mikem: what's your card?
[05:26] <Pelo> oyvind,  search for the packages mentionned in synaptic if you find then install them
[05:27] <ismailmf> well concidering mac osx kernel is based on bsd its not different
[05:27] <__mikem> kitsuneofdoom, hold on, I am not on the same machine with the problem at the moment
[05:27] <Pelo> justin_,  I still think it's a settings issue altho in thecase of azureus it might be a java problem
[05:27] <andre> I'd like to know if there's a brazilian chat room on ubuntu
[05:27] <Seamus> Anyone here with a thinkpad r60e know how to deactivate the wireless kill switch?
[05:27] <zbrown> ismailmf: its not based on bsd's kernel, its a completely new one. XNU, its a mach kernel, BSD uses a monolithic kernel
[05:27] <linxeh> ismailmf: based in a vague sense
[05:27] <davelev> Anyone: Is there any way to change one users video settings back to basics or to change the driver from another (working) account?
[05:27] <Pelo> justin_,  check to see if you have enought hdd for the files to be preallocated,  and do try and throttle down the upload speed
[05:27] <Crane_> hey everyone
[05:28] <kitsuneofdoom> davelev: sux might work.
[05:28] <zbrown> ismailmf: the operating system itself is based on FreeBSD, but only the stuff around the kernel, they changed the entire dir structure, they have portable program execution, and a mach kernel, thats pretty damned different if you ask me
[05:28] <ismailmf> ok thanks for correcting me zbrown
[05:28] <kitsuneofdoom> davelev: apt-get install sux
[05:28] <davelev> kitsuneofdoom: on the current account?
[05:28] <kitsuneofdoom> davelev: sux is like su, but it also forwards X11 capabilities
[05:28] <Pelo> justin_,  it is also possible that youare just putting to much stress on your hdd with too many torrents
[05:28] <kitsuneofdoom> davelev: yeah
[05:28] <AlexC_> zbrown: the entire structure is not different
[05:28] <__mikem> kitsuneofdoom it is a Broadcom Wireless 1390 Mini-PCI Card revision 01
[05:28] <davelev> kitsuneofdoom: will do, is ther a --help?
[05:29] <AlexC_> zbrown: they simply have added a few others, such as "Applications", "Users"
[05:29] <andre> #ubuntu-br
[05:29] <zbrown> AlexC_: well the organize the system a bit differently, who puts root in private/ lol?
[05:29] <Pelo> andre,   /join #ubunt...
[05:29] <kitsuneofdoom> davelev: if you've used su, it's the same. Just sux <name-of-user>, then it will prompt you for the password
[05:29] <__mikem> kitsuneofdoom ^
[05:30] <kitsuneofdoom> __mikem: I don't think bcm43xx would work. TO THE INTERNET!
[05:30] <andre> thnks pelo
[05:30] <zbrown> AlexC_: sorry, /private/var, a directory which doesn't even exist in the BSD's
[05:30] <Kaliree> Hi, could anyone tell me why I am getting this error at boot-up? " /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.save line 39 ignoring bad situation starting with x "
[05:30] <justin_> Pelo, I was only running 1 torrent and getting about 7kb down, 0kb up, and after about 1hr the computer still slowed. Even after closing the bittorrent client the computer's still slow
[05:31] <__mikem> :) this new notebook is nothing but problems so far, the thing faught me all the way through the linux setup process, and I can usually get a linux system up and running in about 5 minutes
[05:31] <andre> pelo, nobody there... any other suggestion?
[05:31] <kitsuneofdoom> __mikem: or does it! yes it does.
[05:31] <kitsuneofdoom> __mikem: so, apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter
[05:32] <swatF1RESTORM> what's easier to setup for streaming mediain feisty, xine or mplayer?
[05:32] <__mikem> kitsuneofdoom, are those drivers on the ubuntu CD, because the machine in question is not connected in ANY way to the internet
[05:32] <noelferreira> what is the best editor for java or #C? i'm tired of emacs. i need one that open diferent files in diferent tabs in the same editor. ?
[05:32] <davelev> kitsuneofdoom: I'm in in the terminal, but I shoudl use gcaonf-editor here?
[05:32] <kitsuneofdoom> __mikem: no. Sorry. Is there any way to?
[05:32] <__mikem> noelferreira, for C# monodevelop works
[05:33] <swatF1RESTORM> is there a better channel to ask my question in?
[05:33] <__mikem> kitsuneofdoom, no, not that I know of
[05:33] <kitsuneofdoom> davelev: I was thinking maybe you could sux into the "broken" account, and run the restricted driver manager
[05:33] <noelferreira> and java __mikem
[05:33] <kitsuneofdoom> davelev: it seems a bit easier
[05:33] <davelev> kitsuneofdoom: Sorry, I mean I am in sux in the user, but I might need a suggestion here.
[05:33] <__mikem> noelferreira, try eclipse ide
[05:33] <davelev> I have limited terminal experience, but I can call up the man, etc.
[05:33] <__mikem> kitsuneofdoom, if I were to boot into vista on the machine and download the .deb there, is there a way to move it into the linux partition?
[05:34] <kitsuneofdoom> davelev: ok, you have already sux'd into the account?
[05:34] <davelev> kitsuneofdoom: done, yes. still in terminal.
[05:34] <VSpike> Anyone know any good command line mailers with good imap4 support which leave the mail on the remote server rather than pulling it into an mbox like mutt seems to do?
[05:34] <jatt> There are 7 updates for Dapper but I am getting the following Warning when trying to update:
[05:34] <jatt> "You are about to install software that can't be authenticated! Doing this could allow a malicious individual to damage or take control of your system".
[05:34] <kitsuneofdoom> __mikem: yeah, dpkg, but you need to have all the depednedcies too
[05:34] <stefg> swatF1RESTORM: i'd recommend mozilla-mplayer ,apparently streams the most things in conjunction with w32codecs
[05:34] <jatt> Known issue? I am using http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu in my sources.list
[05:34] <kitsuneofdoom> davelev: okay. just type restricted-manager
[05:34] <__mikem> kitsuneofdoom, theres no telling how long that will take, I am going to see if my dad has an ethernet cable lying around, just maybe I can get a wired connection
[05:34] <kitsuneofdoom> probably after the first 5 letters, you can tab-complete it
[05:35] <zbrown> VSpike: if you configure mutt properly you can set it to do that
[05:35] <kitsuneofdoom> above addressed to davelev, btw
[05:35] <Kaliree> Could anyone help me with the error " /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.save line 39 ignoring bad situation starting with x " , which appears on my terminal boot-up screen?
[05:35] <VSpike> zbrown: really? Ahhh ok.. I'll look into that. Thanks
[05:35] <kitsuneofdoom> __mikem: good idea.
[05:35] <brianski> is there a support channel for desktop effecfts? seems like noone is ever in #compiz
[05:36] <rausb0> brianski: #ubuntu-effects i guess
[05:36] <swatF1RESTORM> stefg: thanks i'll see if i can find it.
[05:36] <davelev> kitsuneofdoom: Thanks, it is installing, and I'll have to restart to check it. I really appreciate the help. If I get good enough I'll come back and contribute.
[05:36] <stefg> swatF1RESTORM: sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer

[05:36] <ubotu> swatF1RESTORM: Seveas has a popular 3rd party repository for several packages, including the win32 codecs: see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - See also !Codecs
[05:37] <kitsuneofdoom> davelev: my pleasure.
[05:37] <__mikem> kitsuneofdoom, okay I think I have an ethernet connection
[05:37] <brianski> rausb0: thanks
[05:38] <kitsuneofdoom> __mikem: Ironically, I've been having problems with the very same driver. You might want to keep around the ethernet cable.
[05:38] <__mikem> kits no problem there
[05:38] <rikstah> i already have apache and php5 installed, but i want to install cacti, is it safe to install it (it wants to install php4) ? can they both exist at the same time?
[05:38] <__mikem> okay, whats the name of hte package again?
[05:38] <oyvind> When i installed the nvidia driver true system -> admin ->restriced driver. I get the error : Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module! Please ensure that there is a supported NVIDIA GPU in this system, and that the NVIDIA device files have been created properly. Please consult the NVIDIA README for details.
[05:39] <SlimeyPete> did you install the right driver? There are modern and legacy drivers.
[05:39] <__mikem> kitsuneofdoom, whats the name of the package again?
[05:39] <__mikem> SlimeyPete, nvidia-glx always worked fine for me
[05:39] <Rerun3d> is it difficult to install rpm packages on ubuntu
[05:39] <oyvind> My nvidia card is a 8800GTX
[05:40] <__mikem> Rerun32, I wouldn't recomend you try that
[05:40] <kitsuneofdoom> __mikem: bcm43xx-fwcutter
[05:40] <SlimeyPete> Rerun3d: no. Just install Alien, and use that to convert them to .deb files which you can install using dpkg. It usually works OK.
[05:40] <__mikem> thanks
[05:40] <big_brown_bear2> hi
[05:40] <Rerun3d> ok great, thanks
[05:40] <big_brown_bear2> pls can i ask my question here?
[05:41] <SlimeyPete> big_brown_bear2: don't ask to ask. Just ask.
[05:41] <big_brown_bear2> sorry its true ^^
[05:41] <Rerun3d> SlimeyPete: are tehere times when conversion from rpm to deb causes problems?
[05:41] <big_brown_bear2> my problem its not strictly to ubuntu
[05:41] <__mikem> okay, I did the install, it said something about installing firmware and then it finished without error, should I try to see if I am connected to the wireless now?
[05:42] <saidkasim> There is probably no media in the drive. Unable to mount media. ---> Why is that problem with starting dvd-cd???????
[05:42] <eifzon> Why do i get this error when i shall do: wine iexplore http://winehq.org ? / http://www.pastebin.ca/500341
[05:42] <SlimeyPete> Rerun3d: I've had the odd problem wherein the RPM wants to put files into a directory which exists in Redhat but not in ubuntu. I've never actually had it *break* anything though.

[05:45] <sandy> anyone there
[05:45] <zbrown> Garnol: you have any idea what type of card reader? is it a ricoh?
[05:45] <kitsuneofdoom> __mikem: if you go to /usr/share/bcm43xx-fwcutter there is a script
[05:45] <__mikem> kitsuneofdoom, it said that it installed the firmware for me
[05:45] <swatF1RESTORM> stefg: so far so good. I haven't tried nba.com yet, but i've always had problems with that site.

[05:46] <swatF1RESTORM> stefg: do you know if there is a way to keep the MPlayer inside the target window?
[05:46] <kitsuneofdoom> __mikem: alrighty. You're set. If it doesn't work yet, sudo rmmod bcm43xx and then sudo modprobe bcm43xx should work
[05:47] <__mikem> what ever I am running the script anyway just to be sure
[05:47] <dyrne> Bixby: also alt-ctrl-lefclick and drag
[05:47] <kitsuneofdoom> __mikem: the rmmod might error.
[05:47] <craigbass1976> Anyone know a way to capture the data with linux, going out of the phone line on a directv or dish network box?

[05:47] <Kaliree> Cyrus25801: Did you try to reinstall open office?
[05:47] <craigbass1976> Can you do packet capture with an external modem?
[05:47] <sergio> hello comunnity
[05:47] <sandy> is there any way to correct it
[05:47] <grurf> stefg: Hey, the harddrive was not broken after all, I was using a cable that didn't support DMA, which was causing the weird problems =) (If you still remember me, I was the guy who asked about SCSI and libata)
[05:47] <Garnol> zbrown: .. i wanted to ask for that in the same second
[05:47] <__mikem> kitsuneofdoom, when I ran the script, it gave an error when trying to connect to some domain that said name or service not known
[05:47] <zbrown> Garnol: http://mmc.drzeus.cx/wiki/Linux/Drivers/sdhci <-- that is probably relevant to you
[05:47] <Cyrus25801> Kaliree: no I didn't is there maybe another way
[05:47] <sergio> I'm having troubles in my toshiba laptop
[05:48] <close2> hello, i've the problem, that my notebook takes 10 minutes to boot.  And i think the reason could be, that it takes ~10 seconds for "cat 3mbFile > /dev/null"
[05:48] <Garnol> sergio .. i have one too..
[05:48] <sergio> with the sound, anyone can help me?
[05:48] <zbrown> Garnol: i have issues with mine though admittedly i haven't sat down to really mess with it yet
[05:48] <Garnol> sergio whats your prob ?
[05:48] <close2> dmesg doesn't show any errors
[05:48] <sergio> can somebody hy sound problem?
[05:48] <Bixby> dyrne: they don't work, Ithought it was weird
[05:48] <stefg> grurf: yup, remember you.... always nice if you could track it down to hardware. it's so .... predictable :-)
[05:48] <Kaliree> Have you tried (and yes I know this is obvious) rebooting?
[05:48] <close2> is there something I could "look at"
[05:49] <sergio> well , the problem is that my speakers doesn't produce any sound
[05:49] <Cyrus25801> Kaliree: yes I have
[05:49] <dyrne> Bixby: if in the settings manager you have cube enabled you should be able to alt-ctrl-leftclick and drag the cube around. are you sure beryl is running?
[05:49] <Garnol> sergio: what ubuntu are you running ??
[05:49] <mangojambo> people. .. what is the program that create a virtual PDF printer ?
[05:49] <kitsuneofdoom> __mikem: if it said it installed the firmware, it already ran the script.
[05:49] <close2> hdparm shows dma is on
[05:49] <swatF1RESTORM> stefg: like to keep the media embedded in the website instead of launching mplayer externally.
[05:49] <sergio> edgy
[05:50] <Kaliree> Cyrus: Do you have a specific doc you are trying to save?
[05:50] <sergio> Garnol: I'm running ubuntu edgy
[05:50] <Garnol> sergio: hm .. i had some problems in feisty .. so i set my system back to 6.06 ...
[05:50] <__mikem> kitsuneofdoom, okay, let me make sure I am in range of the router
[05:50] <Kaliree> Cyrus: I mean to keep from being erased if you reinstall?
[05:50] <Guychi> Hi! How can I delete all the results of a command such as "find * | grep abc" ?
[05:50] <Garnol> sergio: have you already looked for the basic configuration ?? (i mean the speaker things .. and the soundcard selections)
[05:51] <Cyrus25801> Kaliree: no, I will try reinstalling
[05:51] <sergio> yes
[05:51] <stefg> swatF1RESTORM: hmmm, either this is controlled by the website, or there's a preferences setting in mplayer for that. In most cases mplayer opens a new tab for me in firefox
[05:51] <Guychi> find * | grep abc | rm -f    doesn't work for me
[05:51] <sergio> the problem is that ubuntu don't recognize the speakers
[05:51] <Bixby> Dyrne: thanks that worked, I just didn't use cube at the moment
[05:51] <dyrne> Guychi: get the output you want path/file  then pipe to xargs like command | xargs -i rm -fr {}    where {} is whatever is your stdout
[05:51] <Kaliree> It only takes a couple minutes if you already have the setup file, I carry it around on a pen drive and install it all the time.
[05:51] <Garnol> hm .. no alsa driver load ??
[05:52] <dyrne> Bixby: np
[05:52] <sergio> when I type alsamixer in the console the only thins that I can modify are PCM, Master and  Capture
[05:52] <Kaliree> Make sure to get the latest version of Open office (2.2)
[05:52] <eifzon> Why do i get this error when i shall do: wine iexplore http://winehq.org ? / http://www.pastebin.ca/500341
[05:52] <sergio> but no speakers, or somthing like that
[05:52] <Garnol> sergi
[05:52] <dyrne> Guychi: be sure the output is what you want to delete though
[05:52] <Garnol> sry
[05:53] <Kaliree> Sergio, do you have a creative card? (Audigy, soundblaster, etc?)
[05:53] <sergio> what is a creative card?
[05:53] <Guychi> dyrne: thanky!

[05:55] <dyrne> Guychi: not sure offhand its what i use in linux. on solaris i dont use it
[05:56] <Kaliree> It doesn't recognize your sound card.
[05:56] <pescez> is there anyone able to tell me how to set a usb pendrive's label without formatting it?
[05:56] <Kaliree> So it's not the speakers, it's the card it won't identify.

[05:57] <kitt1> HI all... I'm Using Ubuntu 7.04 from few days.. My sound card got recognized when i booted for the first time.. but after the restart.. i'm not geting any sound..  I'm having a crystal CS 4281 card..
[05:57] <sergio> yes.. continue
[05:58] <itaro> does anyone know if there is a way/plugin to enable code folding in gedit?
[05:58] <AngryPunk> Hey everyone I've got the 32 bit ubuntu installed on a HP zv6130 and the X server crashes or hangs when I try to log out, ctrl-alt-backspace will work but when i click the logout button it hangs up.  Is this a known bug?
[05:58] <Kaliree> Now scroll over using the arrow keys (sorry I am doing this too, to make sure I haven't forgotten something...)
[05:58] <fstx> kitt1: you don't have another sound card in the machine, perhaps on the mb?
[05:58] <sergio> All the items are in 100
[05:59] <kitt1> fstx: Yup i have one.. but the jacks are not proper.. so i had to use the external card
[05:59] <sandy> kaliree: my usb external hard disk is not detected in feisty...i even tried manual mounting
[05:59] <close2> is there a way to find out, why my hd-access is _really_ slow?
[05:59] <close2> another rescue-cd showed, that it's not the hardware
[05:59] <Kaliree> If you hit the "M" key it will mute or unmute your devices.
[06:00] <dyrne> close2: ide hard drive?
[06:00] <close2> ide
[06:00] <close2>  /dev/hda3
[06:00] <pm2> Hi - anyone know of a way to access the itunes music store, without having to run an emulated version of windows inside or vmware or something?
[06:00] <Kaliree> If it is unmuted, there should be a green symbol in the box below the device.
[06:00] <Kaliree> Do you have anything muted?
[06:00] <dyrne> close2: sudo hdparm /dev/hda    to see the settigns then sudo hdparm -tT /dev/hda to test it
[06:00] <JohnN> Hi - new to Ubuntu and having performance problems when I put it under stress - this the place to give details and ask for help?
[06:00] <swatF1RESTORM> stefg: not that big of a deal as long as the media actually plays. nba.com didn't work for me. MPlayer gave the error message "Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device. any ideas?
[06:00] <dyrne> close2: dma should be enabled and 32 bit io.  other things can be optimised
[06:01] <fstx> when I had two in my machine, the sound would move randomly between them on each reboot..
[06:01] <close2> dma on, io 32 bit
[06:01] <close2> still takes ~ 10 seconds to read 3 MiB
[06:01] <Kaliree> Sergio?
[06:01] <sergio> wait
[06:01] <Kaliree> Gotcha.
[06:01] <HHP2K> Hey Guys?
[06:01] <stefg> swatF1RESTORM: oh, just start mplayer, go to the preferences, video-tab and select xv for video out... just a stupid default-conf in ubuntu
[06:01] <kitt1> fstx: when i rebooted the Cmedia card got detected.. and i used to get Crystal card as "Not Connected"
[06:01] <sergio> no
[06:02] <dyrne> close2: never had good speed from feisty defualt drivers. my slackware on same machine is almost twice speed and thats after i tweaked ubuntu
[06:02] <sergio> all the bars are in 100
[06:02] <HHP2K> I just noticed that the audio hardware wasn't detected on Dapper, anyone know why?
[06:02] <gordonjcp> HHP2K: that's a pretty vague question
[06:02] <motin__> I feel so let down by the Ubuntu Forum admins. They have locked me out from the forums for linking to a thread about how to best market Ubuntu. This was done in in a related thread after some discussion on the subject. How can I get my access back? Please help
[06:02] <sergio> the master, the PCM and de Capture bars are unmuted
[06:02] <HHP2K> gordonjcp: I was afraid of that
[06:02] <Kaliree> Yes, but is there a green symbol with "00" below each of your main devices?
[06:02] <close2> dyrne: it used to work just fine
[06:03] <sandy> no
[06:03] <sergio> no
[06:03] <gordonjcp> HHP2K: what hardware, what happens, what doesn't happen?  That sort of thing...
[06:03] <sandy> i can not find any symbol
[06:03] <sergio> it isn't
[06:03] <close2> dyrne: don't really know what i did, maybe tried sleep-mode...
[06:03] <tritium> motin__: ask in #ubuntuforums.  We have no control of them here
[06:03] <Lilacor> paravirt + nvidia doesn't work very well I've read
[06:03] <Kaliree> That's what indicates if a device is muted or not.
[06:03] <sandy> wait i will try to change the cord with my frnds
[06:04] <Lilacor> I would like to run KVMwith my nvidia card but this looks like this isn't going to be possible?
[06:04] <HHP2K> gordonjcp: Tried to set up something in ekiga and its telling me that no audio device, input or output, connected. Haven't tested it on any media devices yet.
[06:04] <sergio> no, it seems that all is unmuted
[06:04] <Kaliree> Okay, then check this...
[06:04] <Tadej> hello
[06:04] <sergio> ok
[06:04] <Prognatus> Where is Disks Manager in Feisty?
[06:04] <HHP2K> Volume control suggests bad gstreamer plugins.
[06:04] <motin__> tritium: ok
[06:04] <kitt1> fstx: u there???
[06:04] <Kaliree> Do you have an analog/digital output jack listed?
[06:05] <Tadej> anyone knows what username do I have to enter when I addPrinter in cupsys web interface?
[06:05] <gordonjcp> HHP2K: have you got a soundcard?
[06:05] <Kaliree> Look at the description in the upper left corner of the screen on each device.
[06:05] <sergio> in alsamixer?
[06:05] <sergio> alsamixer
[06:05] <Kaliree> Yes.
[06:05] <s> how install .gtp ?
[06:06] <sergio> but how I know if there is any analog/digital output jack
[06:06] <HHP2K> gordonjcp: Yes, it's onboard and works.
[06:06] <Kaliree> When you scroll through each device it should give you a description of what that device is in the upper left hand corner.
[06:06] <Prognatus> Where is Disks Manager in Feisty? Can't find it in Control Center.
[06:06] <KenSentMe> Does anyone how i type the letter  in Ubuntu? I know how to make an  out of ' and e, but how do i make ?
[06:06] <Kaliree> The bottom line of the description should say "Item: " and then give you a description of the device.
[06:06] <sergio> I'm going to show you what are the thinks that appears
[06:07] <sergio> appear
[06:07] <JohnN> Feisty (7.04) on a Dual Core IBM T60 with 2 GB ram - when I run several memory hungry applications (Java ones) the desktop become totally unresponsive and freezes for several minutes

[06:08] <jackobize_> I guys: I'm using an ATI Radeon X1600 configured with fglrx drivers. Problem is that the screen freeze at random moments. How do I fix this ?
[06:08] <wolfeySI> jackobize_: UseFastTLS: 1    and NOT 2
[06:08] <sergio> it says Master
[06:08] <wolfeySI> that's one idea
[06:08] <sergio> and PCM
[06:08] <biouser_> who is using biouser I wonder?
[06:08] <sergio> and capture if in view I choose "All"
[06:09] <HHP2K> Downloading other GStreamer packages from Synaptic
[06:09] <wolfeySI> that freaking driver doesnt repaint screen right it leaves dirty spots
[06:09] <wolfeySI> while vesa driver doesnt work on newer ubuntu
[06:09] <HHP2K> How would I be able to configure my sound card once it's detected, if it's detected?
[06:09] <wolfeySI> for some reason
[06:09] <biouser_> what is a good way to use ubuntu as an alarm clock?
[06:09] <Prognatus> How do I admin my disk in Feisty?
[06:10] <eifzon> Why do i get this error when i shall do: wine iexplore http://winehq.org ? / http://www.pastebin.ca/500341
[06:10] <sanji> hey guys, i'm using Feisty (Amd 64, x800GTO (fglrx) ) i want to use beryl, i used the tutorial on the ubuntuusers.de site. after finish installing, my beryl starts but the windowsmanager doesn't want to load need help (german)
[06:10] <mathmoi> Can someone suggest an application that let me add a sidebar to my ubuntu/gnome desktop?
[06:10] <Kaliree> Well I'm stumped. I had this problem last week, but I have a digital/analog output on my card that was set to digital when I have analog speakers, so I thought that might be your problem. I just had to change the setting.
[06:10] <biouser_> does anyone use an alarm clock app?
[06:11] <Kaliree> Ubuntu sets it to digital by default.
[06:11] <sergio> Yes I think so, so How can a I change it?
[06:11] <Kaliree> Are you using the GNOME desktop?
[06:11] <sergio> yes
[06:11] <biouser_> xfce
[06:11] <Kaliree> Go to sounds in the GUI.
[06:11] <biouser_> I am in China and need an alarm clock
[06:11] <Lilacor> Prognatus: what do you need to do to your disk?
[06:12] <sergio> ok
[06:12] <dyrne> sanji: id check to see if you have uptodate drivers and try killinx the windowmanager and launching beryl like beryl& from a terminal
[06:12] <biouser_> can I make a loud sound at a specified time?
[06:12] <Prognatus> Lilacor, I've added a new disk and need to formate and partition it.
[06:12] <sergio> all is associated with autodetect
[06:12] <Lilacor> Prognatus: do it from the CLI then
[06:12] <Kaliree> Oops...actually do you have a speaker icon in the taskbar?
[06:12] <sergio> yes
[06:12] <Lilacor> Prognatus: fdisk to partition, mkfs.<fsname> to create the filesystem
[06:13] <Prognatus> Lilacor, I'd rather not...
[06:13] <Kaliree> right click it and open the volume controls.
[06:13] <sergio> de one that allows me to control de volume
[06:13] <Tadej> anyone knows what username do I have to enter when I addPrinter in cupsys web interface?
[06:13] <biouser_> how can I schedule a sound to play?
[06:13] <Prognatus> Lilacor, any graphic interface?
[06:13] <sergio> ok
[06:13] <Kaliree> Yes, but right click it.
[06:13] <sergio> now...
[06:13] <Lilacor> Prognatus: I don't know. I use the CLI
[06:13] <Kaliree> Is there a tab that says "Switches"
[06:13] <Lilacor> Prognatus: it's faster that way
[06:13] <biouser_> !alarm clock
[06:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about alarm clock - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:13] <sergio> No
[06:13] <Frogzoo> Tadej: your username, but there's a trick, you have to add cupsys to shadow group
[06:14] <biouser_> !schedule
[06:14] <ubotu> Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases
[06:14] <Tadej> Frogzoo; Ill try
[06:14] <sergio> It appears the same that in alsa mixer, Master, PCM and Capture
[06:14] <Prognatus> Lilacor, but I need to see what I'm doing, so I don't format the wrong disk. :)
[06:14] <Lilacor> Prognatus: why wouldn't you be able to see what you're doing using the CLI?
[06:14] <Kaliree> Well, then I don't think you have a digital/analog output switch to turn on or off.
[06:14] <biouser_> ubotu, I want to schedule an event
[06:14] <biouser_> ubotu, like a sound
[06:14] <billytwowilly> Hi, can anyone point me to something talking about how to replace a software raid 5 array with bigger disks?
[06:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about like a sound - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:15] <sergio> so
[06:15] <Kaliree> Good news it, that's not your problem, bad news is, I don't know what else to tell you. I'm just learning a lot of this myself.
[06:15] <Kaliree> There are some great posts on the forums.
[06:15] <biouser_> ubotu, I want an alarm clock

[06:24] <PurpZeY> dwxr-xr-x: I've heard that hibernation can be iffy on some laptops. I believe a restart should fix it.

[06:28] <sergio__> I found it
[06:28] <sipior> Rage__: i'm pretty sure "shouting" is not a bannable offense :)
[06:29] <Kaliree> Prognatus: I might be able to.
[06:29] <Rage__> sipior: Depends on the channel.
[06:29] <ompaul> !offtopic
[06:29] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!

[06:29] <sergio__> type on your terminal the following
[06:29] <dr3st3r> i already have it installed, theres a line that needs editing, surgio had the same problem but cant remember that line it was, it needs to read version "1.50" instead of "1.5"
[06:29] <Prognatus> Kaliree, do you know about the root=UUID key?
[06:29] <sergio__> find / -name tls.tcl
[06:29] <sipior> Rage__: thank goodness that's not an issue!
[06:29] <Rage__> sipior: anyhow, i never said ban,
[06:30] <leninIdebian> prognatus: you don't need the UID key, you can use the device neame too
[06:30] <Kaliree> Sorry, that's over my head. I imagine you have, but have you tried the forums or googled for "Grub" (I assume you are using GRUB.
[06:30] <Prognatus> Kaliree, how?
[06:30] <sergio__> those commandas should give you something like /usr/lib/tls1.50/tls.tcl
[06:30] <Kaliree> How to check the forums?
[06:31] <Prognatus> leninIdebian, how?
[06:31] <kadakas> Whats a good Math app for solving algebra and trigonometrics? (Something similar to MathCAD)
[06:31] <BiNDi> hello varka
[06:31] <sergio__> in the same directory you should find a file named pkgIndex.tcl, edit this file
[06:31] <BiNDi> varka i did those things what the thingy said
[06:31] <BiNDi> but it still didnt work.
[06:31] <BiNDi> remember me, the amd pcnet home guy
[06:31] <sipior> kadakas: octave is a computer algebra system, perhaps it will do what you need
[06:31] <Kaliree> Can anyone help me with this error message?  " /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.save line 39 ignoring bad situation starting with x "
[06:32] <sergio__> and change the line : "package ifneeded tls 1.5" by "package ifneeded tls 1.50"

[06:32] <leninIdebian> prognatus: than you write into menu.lst ...... root=/dev/blabla
[06:33] <sergio__> first of all, you have to close amsn
[06:33] <cholera> When swapping out a sound card in Ubuntu, can you simply turn the box off, make the swap and power up, and Ubuntu will assign new devices accordingly?
[06:33] <sergio__> and the open it
[06:33] <sergio__> dr3st3er?
[06:33] <Prognatus> leninIdebian, ok. then it'd be /dev/hdb ...something - once I've formatted and partitioned it. Thanks.
[06:33] <sipior> cholera: should do
[06:34] <leninIdebian> prognatus: if you need a good documentation about grub look in the gentoo install handbook
[06:34] <cholera> sipior: I was worried that I might have to manually 'mount' ? the device or does that just apply hdd's
[06:34] <Prognatus> leninIdebian, thank you! :)
[06:34] <arturo> naf ...
[06:35] <sipior> cholera: that's just for disk partitions. assuming the device is supported, it should be as simple as you describe.

[06:35] <seoirse> I can't seem to get my Wireless Network card running
[06:36] <sipior> zbrown: it's not really ideal for that. i do it, but it can be annoying at times.
[06:36] <sebsebseb> how to fix this?
[06:36] <tommy_> depends.
[06:36] <zbrown> sipior: hmm, it did at one point. then a few updates occured in the last copule of days and now no dice

[06:36] <cholera> seoirse: what type of card are you using
[06:36] <BelaBartok> how do i get a list of IPs in a LAN network
[06:37] <tommy_> BelaBartok: Nmap?
[06:37] <tommy_> or would that be too simple?
[06:37] <sipior> zbrown: easiest just to disable nm's control over that interface, especially if you're just running dhcp anyway.
[06:37] <zbrown> hmmm
[06:37] <zbrown> ok
[06:37] <zbrown> thats what i ended up doing naywya
[06:37] <airtonix> tommy_: ja nmap will do it...easier way is to use etherape...noobs ill get a better understanding then
[06:38] <airtonix> BelaBartok: gah that was meant for you i guess

[06:39] <grurf> If I enable Desktop Effects, gnome-terminal doesn't work anymore. It does start and run fine, but I cannot distinguish anything: it's just a big white rectangle, without any visible text. I tried the XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 trick, but it doesn't seem to help. Any suggestions?
[06:39] <\x6e\x65\x72\x64> grurf: maximize it
[06:40] <sipior> grurf: do you have Option   "AddARGBGLXVisuals"     "true" in your xorg.conf?
[06:40] <grurf> \x6e\x65\x72\x64: will try
[06:40] <grurf> sipior: I guess not, will have a look
[06:40] <amojinsoo>

[06:40] <amojinsoo> ?
[06:41] <sipior> amojinsoo: pretty letters
[06:41] <sipior> amojinsoo: do they mean anything?
[06:41] <grurf> \x6e\x65\x72\x64: It doesn't help
[06:41] <amojinsoo> TT
[06:41] <jackobize_> I guys: I'm using an ATI Radeon X1600 configured with fglrx drivers. Problem is that the screen freeze at random moments. Anyone has experience with this video card ?
[06:41] <amojinsoo> no sea?
[06:41] <\x6e\x65\x72\x64> grurf: I get that problem too after a while, sometimes it doesn't work :(
[06:42] <leninIdebian> jackobize: did you look at dmesg?
[06:42] <\x6e\x65\x72\x64> grurf: I think it's a video card memory leak or something
[06:42] <grurf> \x6e\x65\x72\x64: I just enabled Desktop Effects, and the gnome-terminal that was still open does work, I'm IRCing in it right now
[06:42] <jackobize_> The freeze always comes as a surprise. I'm checking the dmesg now
[06:43] <LjL> !kr | amojinsoo if i'm not too mistaken
[06:43] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kr - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:43] <LjL> i am
[06:43] <grurf> sipior: Where to add that option? In the "Device" section?
[06:43] <\x6e\x65\x72\x64> grurf: I disabled desktop-effects because of that, but I remember sometimes messing with the window size or minimizing and maximizing a few times would fix it temporarily..
[06:43] <sipior> grurf: yes
[06:43] <leninIdebian> jackobize: try dmesg | grep fglrx -i
[06:43] <grurf> ok, I'm going to restart X now
[06:44] <airtonix> is ok to ask about beryl here? ((cringe))

[06:44] <sipior> grurf: good luck
[06:44] <xopey> hey guys, looking for help resuming from suspend. I get a black screen with a cursor that functions properly. I can generally restart X to get it to work. How do I get suspend to function properly
[06:45] <jackobize> leninIdebian: all looks good it sais it is initalized.
[06:45] <PurpZeY> xopey: Check the forums on that issue, a lot of people have it, and from what I read, there may not be a fix...It is a problem with suspending to RAM.
[06:45] <jordanryanmoore> does anyone know how to define the primary IP address if you have multiple IPs?
[06:45] <sharrej> is anyone familiar with webilder running on feisty
[06:46] <airtonix> jordanryanmoore: set the 2ndry cards gateway tothe primary
[06:46] <xopey> thnx for responding PurpZeY, i've been doing my research, but none of the solutions seem to work suspending from resume
[06:46] <grurf> sipior: It worked, thanks =)
[06:46] <\x6e\x65\x72\x64> xopey: are you using desktop-effects?
[06:46] <jackobize> leninIdebian: I have moved back to an older card  (ATI Radeon 9250) and it is more stable but still hang once a while.
[06:46] <jordanryanmoore> airtronix: and leave the rest of the settings as-is?
[06:46] <sipior> grurf: my pleasure
[06:46] <xopey> yes \x6e\x65\x72\x64
[06:46] <stefg> xopey: i don#t know details, but that's a sign o fyour video driver not liking to put to sleep. the solution is unloading the driver before suspend/hibernate and reloading it after. google for details, or anyone else help
[06:46] <leninIdebian> jackobize: no errors or strange things? I switched back to the free radeon driver, because fglrx is such a shit
[06:46] <\x6e\x65\x72\x64> xopey: I had that problem, try suspending with them disabled
[06:47] <xopey> okay \x6e\x65\x72\x64
[06:47] <airtonix> jordanryanmoore: actually your going to need to investigate the usee of dnsmasq
[06:47] <xopey> were you later able to renable them? \x6e\x65\x72\x64
[06:47] <PurpZeY> Is hibernate more stable than suspend?
[06:47] <xopey> dunno PurpZeY. don't generally try hibernate
[06:47] <rm130> hello, can someone help me get my sound working?
[06:47] <xopey> on my last dell, it wasn't, so i quit using it PurpZeY
[06:48] <rm130> I hooked up my headphones to the computer
[06:48] <airtonix> jordanryanmoore: but firestarter will let you specify wcich card is your wan and which is your lan
[06:48] <rm130> and the sound does not work
[06:48] <stefg> rm130: what oundcard?
[06:48] <stefg> *soundcard
[06:48] <jordanryanmoore> airtonix: this is a web server
[06:48] <rm130> stefg: via technologies
[06:48] <coastGNU> TeTeT: ping
[06:48] <airtonix> jordanryanmoore: why do you have more than one nic then?
[06:48] <gluttony> whats a good email client for use in the terminal
[06:48] <stefg> !sound | rm130
[06:48] <ubotu> rm130: 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).

[06:48] <jackobize> leninIdebian: With ATI 9250. I'm using the Radeon driver. Froze 1 time during that last 2 days at shutdown. I have read that Radeon X1600 is not supported by Radeon driver, so I need to use fglrx but I see the random freeze
[06:49] <jordanryanmoore> airtonix: i have virtual IPs so I can have multiple SSL certificates on the same server for different sites
[06:49] <xopey> crap \x6e\x65\x72\x64, i switched off beryl and it worked fine
[06:49] <airtonix> jordanryanmoore: so only one physical nic?
[06:49] <leninIdebian> jackobize: did you try "ati"?
[06:49] <jordanryanmoore> airtonix: correct
[06:49] <dfgas> can you mount a nrg file?
[06:49] <dfgas> like iso
[06:49] <jackobize> leninIdebian: Used to used 2 screen 2. Funny thing is that if the second monitor is not on, ubuntu will freeze at startup. Very strange behavior
[06:49] <intangir> dfgas: whats nrg?
[06:50] <gluttony> does anyone know an email client that runs in the terminal? pine doesn't seem to exist
[06:50] <ZeroA4> dfgas, i think you have to use an program
[06:50] <TeTeT> coastGNU: pong, but away pretty soon
[06:50] <greyfrog> gluttony: mutt
[06:50] <airtonix> jordanryanmoore: mmm im not sure how virtual ip works areyou using virtual machines?
[06:50] <leninIdebian> jackobize: sorry than i can't help
[06:50] <xopey> \x6e\x65\x72\x64:, i switched window managers to metacity and it resumed fine
[06:50] <xopey> \x6e\x65\x72\x64: crud
[06:50] <jackobize> leninIdebian: same behavior is seen with fglrx and ATI.
[06:50] <jordanryanmoore> airtonix: no
[06:50] <n0n4m3> what do you think is best for me... i'd like to mount a remote share (my home dir on my other box. should i use nfs or is smbmount/cifs okay?
[06:50] <ehammond> I received no response here for my error from "apt-get install" (http://upran.com/tmp/irc-ubuntu.txt). Suggestions on where to look for help next?
[06:50] <jackobize> leninIdebian: of course on the X1600
[06:51] <gluttony> what does it mean i must maualy run dpkg?
[06:51] <airtonix> jordanryanmoore: your using apache to create virtual ip?
[06:51] <coastGNU> TeTeT: Du hltst den Vortrag Supporting Ubuntu auf dem LT. Wie wre es ein Plakat vorzubereiten das auf dem Community Stand einen berblick ber das Engagement der Beteiligten darstellt?
[06:51] <jackobize> leninIdebian: Thank alot for your time.  hopefully I'll find someone with the same card as I that is working :)
[06:51] <jordanryanmoore> airtonix: no, i'm editing /etc/network/interfaces
[06:51] <intangir> \x6e\x65\x72\x64: you nerd...
[06:51] <stefg> n0n4m3: i dont think that makes much of a difference... both equally awfaul :-)
[06:51] <\x6e\x65\x72\x64> intangir: you curious person :P
[06:51] <intangir> \x6e\x65\x72\x64: hehehe
[06:52] <jordanryanmoore> airtonix: and i just broke it by adding the primary IP as the other's gateway
[06:52] <billytwowilly> stefg: I appreciate the pointers to the raid stuff, but that doesn't cover how to add a bigger drive to replace the smaller one and slowly grow the raid array
[06:52] <rm130> I do not see "multimedia system selector"
[06:52] <LjL> !netsplit
[06:52] <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
[06:53] <airtonix> jordanryanmoore: are they on the same subnet? how are they working with only one eth card?
[06:53] <rm130> I do not see "multimedia system selector"
[06:53] <jordanryanmoore> airtonix: yes, same subnet
[06:53] <jordanryanmoore> airtonix: i've gotta jet to the data center to get the network back up....
[06:53] <n0n4m3> stefg,  the thing is.. i'd like to access the remote directory automatically... i don't like using scp so much... and the second thing is.. i've got a Maildir/ there.. so evolution would be using it directly instead of imap
[06:54] <stefg> billytwowilly: considering the time and system load it takes to rebuild a raid 5 i'd simply backup, get the bigger disks in, and restore /and gain a backup along the way=
[06:54] <kritzstapf> is there an easy to use gnome-app to encode raw avis to xvid or some fancy codec? :)
[06:54] <sergio__> can anyone help me with a sound problem with an HDA ATI SB sound card in edgy?
[06:54] <swatF1RESTORM> why is my wireless on eth0? shouldn't it be on wlan0 or something to that effect?
[06:55] <billytwowilly> stefg: that would be more of a pain in the butt than just doing the rebuild/grow the way I want.. I would take something like 300 DVDs to back up the raid convincingly..
[06:55] <stefg> n0n4m3: so i finally settled to samba (various reasons)
[06:55] <coastGNU> TeTeT: I will write a mail...
[06:55] <jf_> any recent solution to WNV codecs?
[06:55] <jf_> I mean WMV codecs?
[06:55] <YetiChick> billytwowilly: Besides, you can't really \mix & match drives in a RAID 5 array.
[06:55] <gluttony> ok. on to more pertinent problems. i was working with some one to move my /usr to where my /home is, and vice versa. but something bad happened and now i get GRUB Error 15 on start. do i just need to re-install
[06:55] <rm130> CAN someone please help me get sound working???
[06:55] <soothsay> jf_: What is the problem and what architecture are you on
[06:55] <n0n4m3> stefg, so should i use smb or cifs? i have samba already on the server
[06:55] <zbrown> jf_: w32codecs, available in either medibuntu repo's or feisty-seveas
[06:55] <PriceChild> jf_, they work fine on linux unless you're talking about drm'd content
[06:55] <stefg> billytwowilly: any option to have the array assembled on a different machine and copy it over?
[06:56] <PriceChild> zbrown, w32codecs is only required for real media afaik
[06:56] <mks4fun> Oh oh, I've screwed something up... cannot install software now says: connection 111 refused. any suggestions?
[06:56] <stefg> n0n4m3: cifs
[06:56] <zbrown> PriceChild: well i use it for wmv because it works better
[06:56] <jf_> soothsay: Intel . WMV just do not play
[06:56] <soothsay> They don't work fine if you are not on x86
[06:56] <ZeroA4> dfgas, i think you need http://cdemu.sourceforge.net/
[06:56] <rm130> HELLO??
[06:56] <PriceChild> zbrown, "better" ?
[06:56] <PriceChild> !mp3 | jf_
[06:56] <ubotu> jf_: 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
[06:56] <n0n4m3> stefg, mount: //router/rok is not a valid block device grrr :/
[06:56] <zbrown> PriceChild: whatever the gstreamer plugin is, it screws up the colors, so i just use mplayer w/ w32 codecs
[06:56] <billytwowilly> I know I've heard of people doing it. The trick I think is to rebuild the array 4 times each time adding a new big drive, then once all the big drives are in, growing the raid partitions to the whole drive.
[06:57] <PriceChild> zbrown, xine ftw :P
[06:57] <billytwowilly> stefg: That's a small possibility. I'll have to lookinto that.
[06:57] <xopey> HEY \x6e\x65\x72\x64, try turning off Sync to Vblank in beryl-settings (General Options->Main). Took care of it for me. WOOT!
[06:57] <jf_> ubotu: tyhank you , btw, I have mplayer, and mplayer plugin installed
[06:57] <iehova> hi, can someone give me a little assistance re. the touchpad on my laptop
[06:57] <jf_> no luck
[06:57] <\x6e\x65\x72\x64> great xopey!
[06:57] <ZeroA4> jf_, I can play all my WMV files without w32codec... just got the GStreamer Codecs series
[06:57] <nitrocks> i have gdesklets and beryl running on feisty.. I only want the gdesklets to show up on one side of the cube.. how do i achieve this?
[06:57] <xopey> iehova: what's the issue?
[06:57] <iehova> i've been checking out gsynaptics, but my xorg.conf file doesn't say anything about the synaptics driver, even though it's installed
[06:58] <PriceChild> jf_, that link gives information on how to install the gstreamer libraries
[06:58] <rm130> he machine is correctly detecting my setup as a VIA 8237 with a VIA1617A chip, someone please help!!!!
[06:58] <\x6e\x65\x72\x64> xopey: if you still have issues randomly try changing to Force AIGLX
[06:58] <xopey> thanks \x6e\x65\x72\x64
[06:58] <jf_> OK . Gstreamer. I'll try that. TY
[06:58] <stefg> billytwowilly: adding the disks one by one will take you a week (maybe two) until the arrays are consistent again, and i don't know if enlargegening the array after will be troublefree
[06:58] <iehova> The closest the xorg.conf file gets to talking about the touchpad is as follows:
[06:58] <\x6e\x65\x72\x64> xopey: now if someone could fix the memory leak it would be perfect
[06:59] <iehova> Section "InputDevice"
[06:59] <iehova>         Identifier      "Configured Mouse"
[06:59] <xopey> iehova: updated the "InputDevice" section for your touchpad. Change the Driver to "synaptics"
[06:59] <xopey> nj \x6e\x65\x72\x64
[06:59] <iehova> ok, thanks
[06:59] <rm130> the machine is correctly detecting my setup as a VIA 8237 with a VIA1617A chip, someone please help!!!!
[06:59] <kritzstapf> is there a gui for mencoder?
[06:59] <xopey> i can paste you my section if you want iehova
[06:59] <iehova> xopey: please
[07:00] <rm130> the machine is correctly detecting my setup as a VIA 8237 with a VIA1617A chip, someone please help!!!!
[07:00] <airtonix> kritzstapf: yep...several
[07:00] <swatF1RESTORM> is there a specific channel for ubuntu networking?
[07:00] <xopey> okay iehova, tell me a paste site other than pastebin. it's giving me errors
[07:01] <kritzstapf> airtonix: tell ma the names of the good ones :)
[07:01] <billytwowilly> stefg: I've rebuilt arrays before on this thing and it takes about 3 hours. It's only a terrabyte array
[07:01] <iehova> erk... i don't know. I'll try restarting X anyway, see if that still works.
[07:01] <iehova> Thanks =] 
[07:01] <iehova> brb
[07:01] <xopey> okay, good luck ie
[07:02] <billytwowilly> stefg: your suggestion about building the array on another machine then copying over has promise though, I think I can do that.
[07:02] <airtonix> kritzstapf: what do you intend to accomplish with the tool?
[07:02] <rm130> the machine is correctly detecting my setup as a VIA 8237 with a VIA1617A chip, someone please help!!!!
[07:02] <iehova> xopey: Thanks very much

[07:04] <airtonix> kritzstapf: ok then ive found that these are good
[07:04] <stefg> billytwowilly: so what prevents you from playing pingpong with the data? if the new disk are so much larger you could hook one up, do a non-raid backup on it, then partition it cleverly and build the array, restore the backup and  enlargen the array then?
[07:04] <airtonix> kritzstapf: devede will turn a dvd into several options, it also takes files i think
[07:04] <LjL> swatF1RESTORM: i don't think so

[07:08] <stefg> faemir: but if he's still in ubuntu he#ll spam anyway :-)
[07:08] <kritzstapf> airtonix: thought it was just for dvd authoring rather than converting to xvid or sth
[07:08] <faemir> stefg: rather, i meant other servers :P I'm currently in 7 O_o
[07:09] <billytwowilly> stefg: I might do something like that too. I think I can just put the array in another computer and build the array once then copy over.
[07:09] <billytwowilly> thanks for the help
[07:09] <patrialt> Hello, i have a networking related problem, i have not been able to get this sorted out, im running a Xubuntu 7.04 lappy and a Ubuntu 7.04 Desktop pc, im sharing files over Samba network with both of them, i can see my Xubuntu shares fine from both pcs, but i cannot see my Ubuntu shares, what is the problem and how can i fix it?
[07:09] <kritzstapf> airtonix: feisty
[07:09] <ghostparty> hey I believe I messed up my 'sudo' command, can someone help me
[07:10] <ghostparty> this is for the latest Ubuntu Feisty
[07:10] <stefg> billytwowilly: sounds like a proper plan... replcing drives with bigger ones in a running array is a very dirty hack
[07:10] <soothsay> ghostparty: You should just go ahead and explain what is messed up about it
[07:10] <airtonix> kritzstapf: avidemux will take anything in and put anything out depending on your codecs i believe
[07:11] <kritzstapf> airtonix: ill try
[07:11] <airtonix> kritzstapf: you get those pm msgs also?
[07:11] <conhe> how-to for cache of my squid proxy get update of winxp?
[07:11] <ghostparty> well I was originally trying to add firestarter to my startup and one of the commands involved something with "sudo -K" and editing the /etc/sudoers file but I think I messed up that file and now I can't run the sudo command at all and I can't get in to fix that file without sudo
[07:11] <mks4fun> Cannot connect to localhost:4001 ( 127.0.0.1) connect (111 connection refused) HELP! HOW TO FIX?!?!

[07:12] <ghostparty> one sec
[07:12] <stefg> mks4fun. did you change your hostname recently ?
[07:12] <mks4fun> I tried to install samba

[07:12] <airtonix>  another is iriviter....it converts video for mp4 mainly
[07:12] <airtonix>  and proly also want to check out k9copy ... but it use kdelibs (which is fine, they get pulled in when you in
[07:13] <stefg> mks4fun. hmmm, samba isn#t alzheimer-proof :-)
[07:13] <airtonix> gah "....stall it"
[07:13] <mks4fun> I should just remove samba for now?
[07:13] <kritzstapf> airtonix: kay thanks
[07:13] <dyrne> ghostparty: reboot and hit esc to access grub menu hit e to edit an entry and e to edit the kernel line. add init=/bin/sh and hit enter then b to boot. at # prompt type mount -o remount,rw /   then you can enable root by passwd root or just nano /etc/sudoers if you want

[07:14] <soothsay> ghostparty: What happens when you try running sudo (error message?). I believe you can boot with the 'recovery' option to get root access
[07:14] <mks4fun> stefg: if I shut down the service, will that fix things? I doubt it..
[07:14] <stefg> mks4fun: compare /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname if they say the same name
[07:14] <airtonix> kritzstapf: also i just loaded up mkvmaker....may want to check that aoout looks pretty good
[07:14] <mks4fun> stefg: will do and advise

[07:15] <floriakir> what command do i have to use in order to set up LILO as the default boot loader? currently LILO and GRUB are installed, but GRUB is the default one.
[07:15] <airtonix> kritzstapf: sorry its called mkvmergegui
[07:15] <gluttony> are there any aim chat clients for terminal?
[07:15] <Rerun3d> is LILO a better boot loader than GRUB?
[07:15] <premier> dogmeat, or mldonkey, which has bittorrent, gnutella etc support also
[07:15] <dyrne> ferret: well its certainly older
[07:15] <ZeroA4> Rerun3d, no... grub is more powerfull
[07:16] <airtonix> kritzstapf: but under my gnome-menu its showing as "MKV file creator"
[07:16] <slim> hello, I am having a problem with, clamAV when I run 'freshclam' i get a warning: Clamd was NOT notified: Can't connect to clamd through /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl
[07:16] <floriakir> Rerun3d, it's not necessarily better, it's just my choice
[07:16] <Rerun3d> ZeroA4: thanks
[07:17] <Rerun3d> can I install alien suring the normal ubuntu install, or do I get that separately?
[07:17] <kristjan_> what would be good/easy to use app. to create short video of less than 100pngs?
[07:17] <Rerun3d> suring = during
[07:17] <floriakir> so does anybody know how i make LILO the default bootloader?
[07:17] <slim> does anybody know what that could be?
[07:17] <PriceChild> redo it after instillation
[07:17] <SlimeyPete> yeah. Install it, configure it, then run it against your hard disk.

[07:20] <patrialt> stefg, i already configured my thunar to be able to browse networks
[07:20] <kayef> airtonix: ok....thanks, will try it out now
[07:20] <airtonix> kayef: and which prog did you use to create the svgs with ?

[07:22] <airtonix> stefg: yep with smbfs and it or anything else can do it also to sshs with sshfs
[07:22] <patrialt> yes, you just have to install fusesmb and manually mount the network at startup
[07:22] <cox3777> slim: once i've extracted the tar, it tells me to run ./azureus from within the folder, is that the same for you?

[07:23] <mks4fun_> stefg: thanks, I'll dink with that
[07:23] <starkruzr> lenin|afk: will do, one second
[07:23] <cox3777> slim: thanks
[07:23] <kayef> airtonix: i did not create it.....downloaded as a cairo-clock theme and i wanna use the clock picture for another prog but the pics are all separated into many layers
[07:24] <airtonix> stefg: you can get the install guide from the ubuntu wiki (help.ubuntu.com or help.community....im not sure)
[07:24] <edwincini> anyone can help with an ATI open GL problem?
[07:24] <stefg> patrialt: ok, so you're mounting the share by smbfs or fusesmb... thunar doesn't know it's a samba-share because it has been mounted in the filesystem already
[07:24] <kayef> how do i disable xchat from showing ppl logging in and out?
[07:25] <airtonix> kayef: remember that each time you import objects from a file to group them to a seperate layer....grouping them will help you move them around easier...usingshift and arrows will give you finer control
[07:25] <stefg> airtonix: thank you, i have it running already with fusesmb _)
[07:25] <slim> cox3777: yes it tells me the same thing....if you go into your azureus folder and double click on "Azureus" (no file extension) it will do the same thing
[07:25] <patrialt> stefg: im attempting to share my ~ directory via "Shared Folders" app
[07:25] <airtonix> stefg: aint it cooool? got the sshfs going as well? next one up is encrypted fs
[07:26] <patrialt> stefg: and i've successfully viewed shares on a simplyMEPIS box, over samba
[07:26] <stefg> patrialt: do you have the same usernam and password on both of your boxes?
[07:26] <kayef> airtonix: ok....thanks, the layers i import are still separated and i need to manually move them in place but i cant seem to get a perfect picture
[07:26] <starkruzr> lenin: it told me "file not found."  Then I started the dist-upgrade again and it resumed downloading packages.  which is interesting, because it shouldn't have started to install packages before it was finished downloading.
[07:26] <lenin|afk> airtonix: sshfs seems to be a little slow
[07:26] <patrialt> no
[07:26] <livingtm> I upgraded to Fiesty from Edgy, and really like it so far. However, i use VMWARE quite a bit, which has trouble with the 2.6.20 kernel. Is it possible to downgrade the kernel?
[07:26] <patrialt> stefg: no, same password, diff username
[07:26] <cox3777> slim: the thing is when i run it i get the following
[07:26] <cox3777> http://pastebin.ca/500635
[07:26] <panqiang> hello
[07:26] <stefg> patrialt: see!
[07:26] <cox3777> slim: http://pastebin.ca/500635
[07:26] <patrialt> stefg:  ?
[07:26] <slim> cox3777: ok hold on just a second
[07:27] <cox3777> slim: thanks
[07:27] <airtonix> lenin|afk: yeah i dont use thunar much but i use the native nautilus support anyway or run a tcp x forward from the remote box
[07:27] <stefg> patrialt: you are denied access because you are a different user...
[07:27] <airtonix>  i really want to get my virtual-machine-shaping theor into reality
[07:27] <stefg> !samba | patrialt
[07:27] <ubotu> patrialt: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[07:27] <patrialt> it doesn't tell me that im denied access, the shared folder doesn't show up
[07:27] <dyrne> livingtm: well you can just drop a different kernel in /boot and point grub to it in /boot/grub/menu.lst but that might mess up your video drivers and such no reason not to try it
[07:27] <lenin|afk> airtonix: i prefer fuse
[07:28] <airtonix> lenin|afk: got a guide?
[07:28] <stefg> patrialt: workgroup issues?
[07:28] <livingtm> dyrne, so it might mess things up pretty good eh?
[07:28] <lenin|afk> airtonix: no, but it was really easy (as far as i remember)
[07:28] <slim> cox3777: type in your terminal:  java -version
[07:28] <LuisGMarine> Hey guys I'm going to install windows again, but I don't want to loose my Ubuntu, is it easier to install windows first and then Ubuntu?
[07:28] <patrialt> I dont know what the cause is, shouldn't i just be able to share a folder via "shared folders" then it appear on the network?
[07:28] <airtonix> guys i ve found that smb wont find machines in other subnets where as i can with ssh ...can anyone pointout why thisis?
[07:29] <stefg> LuisGMarine: yes
[07:29] <livingtm> dyrne, i wonder if i pick the kernel froma package if it will handle all the dependencies properly...
[07:29] <airtonix> LuisGMarine: yes
[07:29] <LuisGMarine> stefg: how?
[07:29] <cox3777> slim: ok 2 secs
[07:29] <LuisGMarine> I thought windows "had" to be on the beginning of the hard drive?
[07:29] <cbs> How do I disable WINE debugging outputs in terminal?

[07:29] <LuisGMarine> stefg: ha cute
[07:30] <danny3793> LuisGMarine: Windows does not have to be the primary OS, it can be Secondary i believe
[07:30] <james296_> for some odd reason I cant record using the Sound Recorder like when I click record the slider thing is disabled and doesnt show how many seconds Im recording, when I stop and click play nothing happens
[07:30] <premier> airtonix, in smb.conf, you can add subnets with interfaces = <ip address>
[07:30] <james296_> whats wrong here?
[07:30] <airtonix> LuisGMarine: did you partition your ubuntu into three parittions? and put windows on the first,  the ubuntu  / on the second, and your /home on your third largest  partiton
[07:30] <LuisGMarine> Anyone know for sure?
[07:30] <joebleaack> helo
[07:30] <LuisGMarine> airtonix: no
[07:30] <LuisGMarine> airtonix: I only have ubuntu installed right now

[07:31] <LuisGMarine> airtonix: wait!
[07:31] <LuisGMarine> airtonix: I do have my / and /home in seperate partitions
[07:31] <airtonix> premier: i dont use smb as a serious netoworking solution..sorry
[07:31] <lenin|afk> LuisGMarine: but backup your mbr
[07:31] <stefg> LuisGMarine: if don't need games consider installing windows in virtual machine (given you have at least 512 MB ram)
[07:31] <Rerun3d> or add a second hard drive
[07:31] <cox3777> slim: any ideas mate?\
[07:31] <slim> cox3777: ok hold on a sec, i had this same problem a month ago, letme check and see if i can find the page that helped me......jaust wait a couple of minutes...
[07:32] <cox3777> slim: excellent, thanks a lot
[07:32] <opapo> If I only have a floppy drive can I some how boot from a floppy then tell it to go to a cd?
[07:32] <airtonix> LuisGMarine: well your in luck.....just reinstall windows...then ubuntu and when installing ubuntu point your home path to your partition with your current home

[07:32] <joebleaack> please
[07:32] <stefg> !boot | opapo
[07:32] <eletido> stefg: how would i go about getting an image for windows in virtual machine?
[07:32] <ubotu> opapo: 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
[07:32] <danny3793> opapo: why not just tell your boot order to boot from CD first?
[07:32] <james296_> well?
[07:32] <airtonix> LuisGMarine: after which your gnome settings etc will restore
[07:32] <LuisGMarine> airtonix: so in essence I'm only re-installing the root partition?
[07:32] <airtonix> LuisGMarine: ja
[07:32] <stefg> eletido: you would need a valid win-license and install it yourself
[07:32] <joebleaack> i have a problem instaling a tomson speed tuoch 300 adsl modem on ubuntu can enyone help please
[07:33] <lenin|afk> have a nice day, cya

[07:33] <jordanryanmoore> airtonix: i've fixed the network outage that IP change caused... any other suggestions besides changing the gateway of the virtual NICs?
[07:33] <unimatrix9> is there an program that can convert avi ( or mov ) to amv?
[07:33] <joebleaack> i have a problem instaling a tomson speed tuoch 300 adsl modem on ubuntu can enyone help please
[07:33] <danny3793> airtronix: you sure when installing Ubuntu onto the partition with /home it wont overwrite with the /home Ubuntu installs defaultly? :P

[07:33] <eletido> stefg: which virtualization software would you recommend? i have done some work with vmware before, and virtual pc at home.
[07:33] <eletido> at work*
[07:33] <unimatrix9> or is there an amv codec ? or some thingn else
[07:34] <stefg> eletido: vmware is the most mature
[07:34] <unimatrix9> vmware is the best ...
[07:34] <danny3793> opapo: what options do you have in your boot order
[07:34] <Ayabara___> I'm trying to get vga out on a laptop with ati graphics working. Anyone with experience?
[07:34] <eletido> stefg: k, thank you.
[07:34] <unimatrix9> then virtual box, and qemu
[07:34] <eletido> thanks unimatrix9
[07:34] <unimatrix9> then xen ( if you can configure it...
[07:34] <luca____> sese
[07:34] <unimatrix9> :P
[07:34] <joebleaack> i have a problem instaling a tomson speed tuoch 330 adsl modem on ubuntu can enyone help please
[07:34] <airtonix> danny3793: no i meant that when you install ing ubuntu to your second partition that you will have to specify that our "/home/*" path is existing on your third partition
[07:35] <LuisGMarine> airtonix: Ok.  So erase my / partition.  I also need to resize my home partition to give space to my windows install, then install windows on that free space, resize it again to create room for Ubuntu, and then when I go to install Ubuntu again, point it to my old /home, and re-install the / partition on the free space created after resizing the windows partition
[07:35] <unimatrix9> qemu has an new gui frontend i hear...
[07:35] <eletido> unimatrix9: i have seen a xen demo before, but it looked kinda scary.
[07:35] <danny3793> what is qemu?
[07:35] <sdac> hi,  on my homenetwork when i SSH from Windows XP laptop onto Xubuntu Fiesty... the connection is very slow when transferring video files using FileZilla (around 5-10 K's per second) and it the download freezes for a few seconds every moment.  any idea what could be behind this ?  Connection speed is 54Mbps and XP laptop has strong signal.
[07:35] <unimatrix9> xen is very good in novell suse, but not in ubuntu , stick with vmware for now
[07:35] <opapo> danny3793: floppy1, floppy2, pcmcia, network, harddrive
[07:35] <unimatrix9> easy setup etc, vmware...
[07:35] <danny3793> opapo: do you have 2 floppy drives?
[07:36] <faemir> unimatrix9: ffmpeg
[07:36] <unimatrix9> any one know of an amv media convertor?
[07:36] <faemir> joebleaack: http://www.linux-usb.org/SpeedTouch/
[07:36] <unimatrix9> ffmpeg?
[07:36] <opapo> no
[07:36] <airtonix> unimatrix9: gmencoder
[07:36] <ror> SCP can be slow
[07:36] <unimatrix9> if i do ffpmeg formats , there is no amv?
[07:36] <faemir> unimatrix9: you tell it what extension to convert it to
[07:36] <airtonix> unimatrix9: amv....for nkia phones?
[07:36] <unimatrix9> how would i check the formats mencoder can do?
[07:37] <unimatrix9> yes
[07:37] <faemir> so like ffmpeg -i blablah.avi blahblah.amv
[07:37] <danny3793> opapo: your bios "may" be reading your CD drive as a floppy (not sure on that) try telling it to boot from either floppy 1 or 2, and see if either one of them works with the CD drive
[07:37] <unimatrix9> nokia phones ( and very cheap mp3 players )
[07:37] <opapo> danny3793: I tried it and it didn't work
  sadly it dosent work for me
[07:37] <LuisGMarine> airtonix: so would that work, what I said?
[07:37] <unimatrix9> hmmm.
[07:37] <faemir> joebleaack: what does it say?
[07:37] <unimatrix9> i will give it an try thanx..
[07:37] <airtonix> LuisGMarine: no....first how big is first tpartition?
[07:38] <danny3793> opapo: hmm, thats weird, did you install this CD drive after you made/bought this computer?
[07:38] <airtonix> LuisGMarine: and second how big is it?
[07:38] <slim> cox3777: ok which version of azureus do you have?
[07:38] <joebleaack> wen i try to create tehe bot scripts it says that i dont have the necesary permision
[07:38] <LuisGMarine> airtonix: PM ->
[07:38] <airtonix> LuisGMarine: it might owkr but its not neat
[07:39] <opapo> danny3793: this computer is 10+ years old and I got it because the previous owners didn't want it
[07:39] <joebleaack> or if i try to setup firmware
[07:39] <cox3777> slim: 2.5.0.0
[07:39] <opapo> The cd rom is just there
[07:39] <joebleaack> cant create file
[07:39] <LuisGMarine> airtonix: did you get my PM?
[07:39] <joebleaack> and so on
[07:39] <airtonix> LuisGMarine: niet
[07:39] <unimatrix9> i am so used to linux that i dont know how windows work any more....
[07:39] <jordanryanmoore> anyone know to specific the primary IP address of a server when you have multiple virtual network interfaces?
[07:39] <unimatrix9> :)
[07:39] <danny3793> opapo: ouch, no wonder it isnt in BIOS :P, you may not be able to get the BIOS to read the CD Drive, im not sure booting a floppy to tell it to run the CD will work though..
[07:40] <airtonix> unimatrix9: hehe...know how you feel....macs treat me the same
[07:40] <airtonix> LuisGMarine: im in private chat...
[07:40] <zarilion> im having some problems loading the GUI in ubuntu.. anyone know what to do?`
[07:40] <LuisGMarine> airtonix: say something =P
[07:40] <Azzkikr> zarilion: clarify your problem please?
[07:40] <swatF1RESTORM> dyrne: i tried editing ifstab but it didn't work... device still shows as eth1 for wifi
[07:40] <slim> cox3777: is that the latest download??
[07:41] <opapo> danny3793: how complicated is it to boot from the network if there is no server currently setup for this?
[07:41] <airtonix> LuisGMarine:  get that? i think i have a problem
[07:41] <danny3793> airtonix: ive noticed a problem with PMs when trying to communicate with people on a different IRC program than you, basically if your on X-Chat and Luis is on mIRC, PMs dont exactly work too great
[07:41] <zarilion> Azzkikr: im now running irssi from command.. cant get in to desktop because some problem with x-server
[07:41] <cox3777> slim: opps.. my mistate,
[07:41] <airtonix> ahhh
[07:41] <Vlet> in a terminal, iirc, there's a way to sort of 'bookmark' the directory you're in, so later on you can easily return to it without having to retype the full path... can anyone remind me how?
[07:41] <LuisGMarine> lawl
[07:41] <LuisGMarine> ok airtonix, I'll explain it here then
[07:41] <Azzkikr> zarilion: do you know what the problem is? i.e. any output messages or log file details?
[07:42] <cox3777> slim: it's the latest one that i downloaded last night
[07:42] <unimatrix9> Unable for find a suitable output format for 'ratatouille.amv'
[07:42] <danny3793> opapo: im not sure what you mean
[07:42] <joebleaack> i have a problem instaling a tomson speed tuoch 330 adsl modem on ubuntu can enyone help please
[07:42] <n0n4m3> umm people... is there a flash for ubuntu 64 bit?
[07:42] <n0n4m3> for ffox
[07:42] <opapo> danny3793: I have the option in bios to boot from the network
[07:42] <unimatrix9> no ffmpeg cant do amv , to bad...
[07:42] <danny3793> n0n4m3: yes there is, lemme get the page, give me a few seconds here
[07:42] <slim> because i have, 2.5.04 and i got it a month ago.....
[07:42] <LuisGMarine> airtonix: My hdd is 160GB.  The first partition is the root partition, which is 20GB.  The second partition is an extended partition that hold my 40GB personal partition ( for movies, games, music , etc ) and the Linux SWAP which is 2GB.  The third and last partition is my /home which is 80GB.
[07:42] <opapo> How do I do that?
[07:43] <danny3793> opapo: hmmm, im not sure what that means, i dont think booting from a network would do anything, perhaps the people that gave you this computer used it as a server? o.o
[07:43] <LuisGMarine> airtonix: got that?
[07:43] <airtonix> LuisGMarine: i take it you mount the 40gb to you home in fstab?
[07:43] <zarilion> Azzkikr: dont remember what the error was>< and how can i find it now? any way for me to find it without rebooting? and how do i get back to the command line from here? do i have to exit irssi?
[07:43] <m1ce> this is probably a stupid question, but how do i know if feisty is using my graphics card?
[07:43] <slim> cox3777:  because i have, 2.5.04 and i got it a month ago.....
[07:43] <swatF1RESTORM> what's the best way to switch back and forth between a wifi and a LAN?
[07:43] <danny3793> n0n4m3: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&
[07:43] <n0n4m3> danny3793,  found it
[07:43] <Azzkikr> zarilion: you can press ctrl+alt+f1 to f6 to go to another terminal, you can let irssi running that way
[07:43] <danny3793> n0n4m3: jinx, you owe me a soda! :P
[07:44] <abuyazan> how can i check how much in Mega byte my VGA card
[07:44] <LuisGMarine> airtonix: no, what I want is to install windows on at least 30GB.  So I don't know how to go about creating the free space for it.  Logically I would just resize the /home partition and create the windows partition from that free space.
[07:44] <cox3777> slim: yep, same
[07:44] <n0n4m3> danny3793, soda... umm.. what about beer
[07:44] <slim> cox3777: but try this...
[07:44] <zarilion> Azzkikr: nice. but how do i find the error again?
[07:44] <danny3793> n0n4m3: works for me :) lol
[07:44] <airtonix> LuisGMarine:  why 30?
[07:44] <Azzkikr> zarilion: you can then start GDM again by doing /etc/init.d/gdm
[07:44] <slim> goto your "add/remove programs....
[07:44] <eletido> swatF1RESTORM: i think network-manager can do that for you, though i havent tested it out
[07:44] <danny3793> airtonix: hes installing games, he needs some room :P
[07:45] <Azzkikr> zarilion: try what that puts out
[07:45] <LuisGMarine> airtonix: for games, I'm trying cedega, but a lto of the games i have are too new to be supported by cedega, so I need to install all the games on that partition
[07:45] <RoboNerd> Hey folks... does anyone know how to speed up the performance of Evolution & a M$ Exchange server? It seems dog slow compared to Outlook 2003.
[07:45] <eletido> Azzkikr: or use screen
[07:45] <Azzkikr> eletido: screen can be done too
[07:45] <airtonix> LuisGMarine: ahh...well unnfortunatly the eaiest most erro free way is to back up your stuff to another computer over network and then wipe your drive and start again
[07:45] <danny3793> LuisGMarine: im guessing youve searched cedega's game database? the engine was updated just within the last few weeks i believe...
[07:45] <n0n4m3> danny3793,  where are you from? :D
[07:46] <zarilion> Azzkikr: it says fail when i try to start it
[07:46] <opapo> danny3793: thanks
[07:46] <danny3793> n0n4m3: U.S.A. :P
[07:46] <RoboNerd> Or does anyone know where to find a FAQ or HOW-TO for Evolution & Exchange performance? I've had no luck so far.
[07:46] <LuisGMarine> danny3793: yeah I payed 15 dollars for it, works like a charm with my older games, but my new games like BF2142 and C&C 3 it doesn't work
[07:46] <slim> cox3777: goto your add "remove/programs".... and install jre6 and and all -dev packs and dependents and see if that helps
[07:46] <danny3793> opapo: i tried :P, but i think trying to get stuff to work on that comp will be just too hard, as its just a wee bit outdated :P
[07:46] <airtonix> LuisGMarine: taht would be my method, iwouldnt want to put up with potential bad partitions when im gaing nor would i want to burn anything to dvd due to the time it would take
[07:46] <n0n4m3> danny3793,  bummer... if you ever come close to europe give me a ring... :) especially if you're near slovenia :D
[07:46] <LuisGMarine> BF2142 works in single mode player, but not mulitplayer
[07:46] <Azzkikr> zarilion: no other detail messages? try to open the file ~/.xsession-errors , perhaps that file shows some other details
[07:47] <eck> RoboNerd: i think you need the evolution exchange server, i forget exactly what it's called -- it's a separate program that runs on a windows box that proxies between evolution and the exchange server
[07:47] <LuisGMarine> airtonix ok, the only problem I have is that last time I booted up the ubuntu cd and resized the windows partition , it froze up
[07:47] <eck> RoboNerd: iirc it's called brutus or something like that
[07:47] <danny3793> LuisGMarine: ahh, bf 2142 is a bit older than C&C 3, but im sorry to hear cedega didnt work for you, i know it worked perfectly for me when installing WoW, worked way better than Wine did :P
[07:47] <jackobize> I. I'm using ATI Radeon X1600Pro 256MB with fglrx driver. The problem is that the screen freezes randomly. Anyone has encounter that problem and know how to resolve ?
[07:47] <LuisGMarine> so I had to fresh install everything
[07:47] <airtonix> LuisGMarine: move your stuff from the 40gb to the home and merge it with the root
[07:47] <LuisGMarine> danny3793: oh yeah, no doubt :)
[07:48] <airtonix> LuisGMarine: thats why i dont recomend resizing pratitions./
[07:48] <airtonix> LuisGMarine: its messy and unpredictable
[07:48] <LuisGMarine> airtonix: the 40GB personal partition is staying no matter what
[07:48] <airtonix> LuisGMarine: like my typing
[07:48] <RoboNerd> eck: Is that in addition to the "evolution-exchange-storage" connector?
[07:48] <LuisGMarine> I'm not getting rid of it, too much music and too much games are on that little 40GB to waste
[07:48] <swatF1RESTORM> eletido: i've tried that before and I got it to work, but not well. I want to differentiate wireless from wired by making wireless=wlan0 and wired=eth0
[07:48] <RoboNerd> eck: Or is it a replacement?
[07:48] <eck> RoboNerd: that might be the name of it
[07:49] <LuisGMarine> I'm going to keep everything in my personal partition, but everything else is getting the boot
[07:49] <LuisGMarine> and I'll start from scratch
[07:49] <eck> RoboNerd: it's the one that runs on a server, not as an evolution plugin
[07:49] <Tack> Using Feisty, I installed nvidia-glx-new after using nvidia-glx, and decided I wanted to rollback, so did aptitude install nvidia-glx, upon which is sensibly removed nvidia-glx-new.  However modprobe nvidia still loads 9755, instead of 9631, and so the driver complains about an api mismatch.  Any advice?
[07:49] <LuisGMarine> you know what, screw it, I'll just re-download all that music, lmao
[07:49] <RoboNerd> eck: Well, I'm able to connect & use Exchange all right... but it's really freaking slow.
[07:49] <airtonix> LuisGMarine: so waht you want is : [p1: 30gb :: windoz  | p2 : 20gb :: ubuntu | rest :: home ] 
[07:49] <eletido> swatF1RESTORM: can't help you there. i know i have seen some tutorials on that kind of stuff, but i went with network-manager.
[07:49] <zarilion> Azzkikr: when i try that i get permission denied both as me and root
[07:49] <danny3793> LuisGMarine: how does C&C3 work for you in cedega?
[07:49] <slim> cox3777: you still here?
[07:49] <RoboNerd> eck: I was hoping someone had a HOWTO out there to tweak it.
[07:49] <ghostparty> hey I tried editing the kernel entry and such and the root passwd was successfully changed but I still have the same problem, here's an error I get when I try to start up Automatix:
[07:49] <ghostparty> The underlying authorization mechanism (sudo) does not allow you to run this program. Contact the system administrator.
[07:49] <airtonix> LuisGMarine: you dont by chance play wow?
[07:50] <RememberPOL> What's a good mp3 to audio cd burning app?
[07:50] <Azzkikr> zarilion: erm. okay thats odd. Seems like the file is in use or something. sudo cat ~/.xsession-errors doesn't work?
[07:50] <ghostparty> here's the first part:Failed to run /usr/bin/automatix.py mjmeyer /home/mjmeyer 1000  as user root.
[07:50] <danny3793> LuisGMarine: it seems as if the mods havent approved the games you mentioned yet, so hopefully those games will be fixed in the next release :P
[07:50] <dyrne> ghostparty: now that you have root you can fix the sudoers file. but as far as automatix goes.. id be wary of it
[07:50] <danny3793> airtonix: i do everyonce in awhile :P
[07:50] <ghostparty> oh I got ya!
[07:50] <airtonix> danny3793: what realease is that >
[07:50] <ghostparty> thanks
[07:50] <stefg> !automatix | ghostparty
[07:50] <ubotu> ghostparty: Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[07:51] <Apeezee> Question: I am trying to set up my wireless logitech mouse, and all the docs refer to a "evdev" protocol, which gives an  error when i put it in my xorg.conf, is there a different protocol i need to use in fiesty?
[07:51] <Rerun3d> does ubuntu have the rolling cube display function of Suse 10.2?
[07:51] <airtonix> danny3793: have you got it going under feisty?
[07:51] <almazan> wenas
[07:51] <danny3793> airtonix: the gamesdb information is for the newest version which i believe is 6.0
[07:51] <danny3793> airtonix: yep, using cedega it installed pretty good, are you having problems? i also got it installed using Wine
[07:51] <zarilion> Azzkikr: nothing of interest there:(
[07:51] <privet> hida
[07:51] <swatF1RESTORM> eletido: yea i'm trying to see if i can get it to work using network-manager

[07:51] <eletido> ol.
[07:51] <dyrne> Rerun3d: refering to beryl/compiz?
[07:51] <privet> the global keyboard shortcuts: where are they stored?
[07:51] <eletido> sorry, mt
[07:52] <privet> there must be afile somewhere with that info in it, right?
[07:52] <Azzkikr> zarilion: what does /var/log/Xorg*.log tell you?
[07:52] <airtonix> danny3793: yeah...sigh forever. i think my vcard is on soujourn
[07:52] <Rerun3d> dyrne: I saw this demo on teh novell site, and was wondering if it is something related to x windows, or gnome?
[07:52] <Xsylotte> question: how to resize ubuntu partition ?
[07:52] <ghostparty> nope didn't work, I still couldn't access the sudoers file
[07:52] <Xsylotte> i want to add more gbs to it
[07:52] <airtonix> danny3793: as in soujourn from hware dev minds
[07:52] <Azzkikr> Xsylotte: gparted
[07:52] <danny3793> airtonix: what kind of problem are you having?
[07:52] <ghostparty> if I type sudo gedit /etc/sudoers it seems like it takes the password but it doesn't do anything
[07:52] <danny3793> airtonix: not sure what you mean ;P
[07:52] <dyrne> !beryl| Rerun3d
[07:52] <ubotu> Rerun3d: Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[07:53] <dawn_chorus> ghostparty, you don't edit sudoers like that.
[07:53] <Azzkikr> ghostparty: only edit sudoers with visudo
[07:53] <Rerun3d> ok nice one
[07:53] <dyrne> Rerun3d: basically yes.
[07:53] <Rerun3d> thank you
[07:53] <danny3793> ghostparty: it doesnt open the file in gedit?
[07:53] <ghostparty> ok can I have some terminal command to do that?
[07:53] <Xsylotte> Azzkikr, gnome partition editor ?
[07:53] <airtonix> danny3793: i ran the install from all five cds...got a launcher on the desktop and it seems to have a really slow frame rate.....i mean 1 frame every five minutes
[07:53] <dawn_chorus> ghostparty, sudo visudo
[07:53] <Azzkikr> ghostparty: you better read about visudo first and the implications
[07:53] <ghostparty> sorry new...
[07:53] <ghostparty> thanks
[07:53] <Rerun3d> I assume I can use this beryl project on ubuntu
[07:53] <lucifiel> Does anyone know what archive or folder fonts are stored within the ubuntu livecd? I screwed up a lot of my fonts and want to reinstall them but have no idea how to.
[07:53] <dawn_chorus> ghostparty, and do what Azzkikr said.
[07:54] <airtonix> danny3793: i will admit that im also running beryl as well. maybe i should fresh install nad not us bery lfor m game mchine
[07:54] <Azzkikr> Xsylotte: correct, but i do not know if it has any unpredictable results
[07:54] <Xsylotte> hmm
[07:54] <dyrne> Rerun3d: yeah. i havent used on ubuntu but it worked fine in vector/slackware im assuming its easier with ubuntu
[07:54] <Merijn> I have apache 2.0.55 - how do I upgrade this to apache 2.2.3?
[07:54] <danny3793> airtonix: ahhh, thats probably because you are using d3d, try going into your wow folder, and changing the Config.wtf, lemme get you what to add
[07:54] <zarilion> Azzkikr: permission denied><
[07:54] <LuisGMarine> danny3793: well BF2142 I'm not a big fan.  I personally think dice rushed the release, and the game is pretty crappy.  I got bored of it quite easy
[07:54] <ghostparty> I'm getting permission denied for visudo
[07:54] <danny3793> airtonix: are you using Beryl-Manager with Beryl?
[07:54] <airtonix> danny3793: aiet....
[07:54] <Xsylotte> Azzkikr, what happens if i unmount ubuntu partition ?
[07:54] <airtonix> danny3793: yup
[07:54] <ghostparty> would I just be better off reinstalling? it's not too big of a deal
[07:54] <LuisGMarine> C&C is another issue, that game I can play for ever and ever, and already if you look at the wiki the game runs very good in cedega, the only problem is the installers and some naitive dlls that the ame needs
[07:54] <danny3793> airtonix: just change the window manager when playing wow to metacity, helps a lot :P
[07:54] <dyrne> Rerun3d: /join #ubuntu-effects  theres a few of us in there
[07:55] <[11touche] > .
[07:55] <hidan> i'm just hoping i won't have to reinstall ubuntu just 'cos i screwed up my fonts. :(
[07:55] <LuisGMarine> anyhow, thanks for all the help guys, I'm just going to do a fresh install and see you guys when I get windows up and running again
[07:55] <airtonix> Xsylotte: dont resize ad more physical drives an make symbolic links
[07:55] <LuisGMarine> err Ubuntu, sorry
[07:55] <LuisGMarine> lmao
[07:55] <Xsylotte> airtonix, well i can make another linux partition... but dunno how to write data to it
[07:55] <Xsylotte> without sudo..
[07:55] <gluttony> how do i make a new live cd?
[07:55] <Xsylotte> i have no access to it
[07:55] <Xsylotte> ..
[07:55] <zarilion> Azzkikr: got it now.. but how do i scroll up on it?
[07:56] <DanaG> Odd, after resume, all my consoles are blank or corrupt.
[07:56] <Azzkikr> zarilion: did you tail or cat it?
[07:56] <danny3793> airtonix: add this "SET gxApi "opengl"" to your config.wtf file, and it should now use OpenGL rather than d3d which causes low framerates ;)
[07:56] <zarilion> Azzkikr: cat
[07:56] <airtonix> Xsylotte: are you in feisty? coz if so chuck in the extra drive, reboot and goto computer:// and it will be there
[07:56] <Azzkikr> zarilion: use shift+pgup
[07:56] <danny3793> airtonix: did you do the regedit "hack" for WoW also?
[07:56] <m1r> is there a way to make installer from my existing installation ?
[07:56] <airtonix> danny3793: not sure i will reboot out of dozer and chekc this
[07:56] <Tack> For those who saw my nvidia question above but didn't know the answer, for future reference: deleting /lib/linux-restricted-modules/.nvidia_new_installed fixed the problem.  Apparently this file did not get properly removed when nvidia-glx-new was uninstalled.
[07:57] <ghostparty> is there a way to create an admin level user through recovery console?
[07:57] <airtonix> danny3793: ohh alrady there
[07:57] <Xsylotte> airtonix, i've made new partition, and feisty detects it..but can't do anything in it..
[07:57] <airtonix> Xsylotte: sudo permissions?
[07:57] <Xsylotte> i can make directories throught terminal
[07:57] <Azzkikr> zarilion: did you install a graphics driver by any chance?
[07:57] <zarilion> Azzkikr: its just 3 lines when i tail it
[07:57] <dawn_chorus> ghostparty, the recovery console already is the admin user.  :)
[07:57] <Xsylotte> airtonix, only throught terminal..with sudo..
[07:57] <danny3793> airtonix: it is? hmmm, i had that same problem, what video card are you using?
[07:57] <airtonix> Xsylotte: what is the path?
[07:57] <Xsylotte> just a sec
[07:58] <zarilion> Azzkikr: i reinstalled it a few days ago.. and this was the first reboot since then
[07:58] <dawn_chorus> ghostparty, you're wanting to know how to add a user to the sudoers list?
[07:58] <ghostparty> yes but since my main normal account through normal boot up has it's permissions all screwed up is it possible to create a new one through recovery console so I can bomb my existing profile?
[07:58] <airtonix> danny3793: its a ati 9600
[07:58] <Xsylotte> /dev/sda9
[07:58] <ghostparty> yes but I can't access it
[07:58] <zarilion> Azzkikr: tried to reinstall the nvidia drivers again now but didnt work
[07:58] <ghostparty> either way works lol
[07:58] <danny3793> airtonix: do you have the drivers for your ati installed?
[07:58] <airtonix> danny3793:  beryl runs really nicley too
[07:58] <Zed`> Totem Problem: Ubuntu 7.04  patched current - Hue and color is blue (everything has a blue tint to it)  - any ideas out there?
[07:58] <Xsylotte> airtonix, /media/disk/
[07:58] <Azzkikr> zarilion: try putting back your original xorg.conf file
[07:58] <gluttony> my windows partitions wont mount. what do i need to do?
[07:58] <airtonix> danny3793: yup i think so
[07:58] <Xsylotte> airtonix, /media/disk ...
[07:58] <zarilion> Azzkikr: how?
[07:59] <dawn_chorus> ghostparty, try 'addusr', i think it is.
[07:59] <airtonix> Xsylotte: ok press alt+f2
[07:59] <zarilion> Azzkikr: pretty new to linux
[07:59] <airtonix> Xsylotte: then type nautilus /media/disk/
[07:59] <dyrne> !ntfs | gluttony theres an automount script here
[07:59] <ubotu> gluttony theres an automount script here: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[07:59] <ghostparty> nope
[07:59] <Azzkikr> zarilion: no problem :) go to /etc/X11/
[07:59] <ghostparty> damn
[07:59] <Xsylotte> airtonix, then ?
[07:59] <airtonix> Xsylotte: press enter
[07:59] <dawn_chorus> what's the command to create a new user?
[07:59] <Xsylotte> airtonix, then ? :P
[07:59] <Azzkikr> zarilion: you will probably see a few xorg.conf files (xorg.conf, xorg.conf.original-0 or whatever)
[07:59] <dyrne> ghostparty: can you just pastebin the /etc/sudoers file and then /etc/group and we can probably fix it
[08:00] <airtonix> Xsylotte: lol.....nautilus should load up with a file/folder view of that disk
[08:00] <Xsylotte> airtonix, yes...but i can't make anything there
[08:00] <danny3793> airtonix: hmm, i forgot how i fixed that....i know i had that same exact problem when using wine, i think i still do, i get about 20FPS in Wine, but in cedega i get 60FPS when in SW...may want to just go with cedega, you get a big bang for you buck if you play more than just one or two games :P
[08:00] <Xsylotte> make directory..and file is disabled..
[08:00] <airtonix> Xsylotte: ok then tr this
[08:00] <airtonix> alt +f2
[08:00] <zarilion> Azzkikr: xorg.conf.backup yeah
[08:00] <Merijn> how do I upgrade apache 2.0.55 to apache 2.2.3?
[08:00] <danny3793> xsylotte: you have to do all that through terminal or ALT-F2 with sudo commands :P
[08:00] <airtonix> Xsylotte: then type gksudo nautilus /media/disk/
[08:00] <airtonix> Xsylotte: then your login password
[08:00] <ghostparty> just paste them here?
[08:01] <airtonix> ghostparty: noooooo
[08:01] <ghostparty> ok didn't think so
[08:01] <Azzkikr> zarilion: now, copy your xorg.conf: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.FAIL or something
[08:01] <danny3793> ghostparty: if its a big paste go to..http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[08:01] <Xsylotte> airtonix, that is standard procedure ? :)
[08:01] <AlbertoP> hi
[08:01] <Xsylotte> gksudo ?
[08:01] <dyrne> !pastebin | ghostparty
[08:01] <ubotu> ghostparty: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[08:01] <swampmallard> Does anyone know where I can find the ACPI configuration files in Ubuntu? My critical shutdown temperature is way too low
[08:01] <airtonix> ghostparty: ol i saw " paste here ? " andi looked up and saw "xorg.conf"
[08:01] <Azzkikr> zarilion: then, copy original: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:01] <Xsylotte> i want to store my work files into that partition
[08:02] <airtonix> Xsylotte: is the drive already formatted
[08:02] <Xsylotte> i don't think so
[08:02] <danny3793> ohhh, thats what he was wanting to paste, thank god i was ready with the pastebin link LOL
[08:02] <Azzkikr> zarilion: the original xorg.conf file (at the first install) will now be put back.
[08:02] <airtonix> Xsylotte: standard procedre is for robtos clones and drones
[08:02] <ghostparty> ok here's group but I can't access sudoers to post
[08:02] <ghostparty> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21870/plain/
[08:02] <airtonix> Xsylotte: humans remain adapative
[08:02] <Xsylotte> airtonix,  i am new to linux. I want that this new partition is something like Desktop, not just read-only.
[08:03] <Xsylotte> i want to be able to save files there
[08:03] <danny3793> airtonix: i installed my nvidia drivers and that fixed the lag ingame, along with turning down some of the game settings, maybe using Envy and "Manually installing" the ATI drivers may help?
[08:03] <airtonix> Xsylotte:  hehe did you format it? or is it from another puter?
[08:03] <LjL> swampmallard: "grep -R acpi /proc/" or "grep -R acpi /sys/"... but check that you aren't affected by this bug https://launchpad.net/bugs/44805 (and the bug that's now been marked as a duplicate of, containing much more information)
[08:03] <airtonix> danny3793: gonna try these first steps before that step
[08:03] <Xsylotte> airtonix, i didn't format it, i've just created that partition with gnome part. editor
[08:03] <zarilion> Azzkikr: done.. what now?
[08:03] <LjL> !adduser > dawn_chorus    (dawn_chorus, see the private message from Ubotu)
[08:03] <danny3793> airtonix: kk :)
[08:03] <airtonix> Xsylotte: ahhhh you need to format it
[08:04] <airtonix> Xsylotte: hang on
[08:04] <Azzkikr> zarilion: try restarting gdm again: /etc/init.d/gdm
[08:04] <Xsylotte> airtonix, unmount first, then format it ?
[08:04] <dyrne> ghostparty: so that file looks good. can you type 'su' to su to root? i think you enabled it yes?
[08:04] <Zed`> Totem Problem: Ubuntu 7.04  patched current - Hue and color is blue (everything has a blue tint to it)  - any ideas out there?
[08:04] <airtonix> Xsylotte: yep
[08:04] <ghostparty> yep!
[08:04] <Azzkikr> zarilion: /etc/init.d/gdm start , sorry
[08:04] <Xsylotte> airtonix, ext3 ?
[08:04] <airtonix> Xsylotte: two ways ; cli or gui?
[08:04] <swampmallard> thanks, LjL, I'll give that a look.
[08:04] <Xsylotte> airtonix, gui
[08:04] <airtonix> Xsylotte: ext2 is fine
[08:04] <Xsylotte> why not ext3 ?
[08:05] <airtonix> Xsylotte: ok goto system -> administration
[08:05] <Xsylotte> what is difference ?
[08:05] <airtonix> Xsylotte: i think more journaling and disaster recovery in ext3
[08:05] <dawn_chorus> Xsylotte, ext3 is ext2 plus metadata.
[08:05] <Fallenou> hello
[08:05] <ircleuser> where do i get faisty for ppc 7.04?
[08:05] <Xsylotte> The following operation could not be applied to disk:
[08:05] <Xsylotte> Format /dev/sda9 as ext3
[08:05] <Xsylotte> hmm
[08:05] <dyrne> ghostparty: type 'export DISPLAY=:0.0'  and open a new terminal leaving the root one open. in new terminal type xhost +127.0.0.1
[08:05] <Fallenou> does somebody know what packet i have to install in order to be able to do "make xconfig" into linux sources directory ? i am running a feisty fawn :o thank you
[08:06] <hendaus> bruenig:  hiya
[08:06] <Xsylotte> it can't make ext2...
[08:06] <ircleuser> where do i get faisty for ppc 7.04?
[08:06] <Azzkikr> Fallenou: sudo apt-get install build-essential  i beleive
[08:06] <zarilion> Azzkikr: now the message says [ok]  :)
[08:06] <Fallenou> already installed Azzkikr
[08:06] <zarilion> Azzkikr: now how do i get in to the desktop?
[08:06] <ghostparty> ok it says being added to access control list
[08:06] <Azzkikr> zarilion: okay, so the problem lies somewhere with the graphics installer
[08:06] <airtonix> Xsylotte: your dong that with gnome-partition-editor?
[08:06] <Xsylotte> yes
[08:06] <Fallenou> Azzkikr it needs some qt packages :o
[08:06] <Azzkikr> zarilion: errr... graphics driver installment
[08:06] <dyrne> ghostparty: now in the root terminal type 'gedit /etc/sudoers'
[08:06] <ircleuser> Someone pleaaaase?
[08:07] <ghostparty> one sec
[08:07] <ircleuser> ok
[08:07] <zarilion> Azzkikr: just install the nvidia-glx? with sudp apt-get?
[08:07] <beterraba>  somebody know isabelle/isar?
[08:07] <Azzkikr> zarilion: I am not really into Nvidia (i use ATI myself). Perhaps you could try install the open source drivers (if there are any), or the closed source drivers
[08:07] <Xsylotte> airtonix, i've deleted it
[08:07] <Xsylotte> now i have unlocated space.
[08:07] <ircleuser> o beterraba beleza?
[08:07] <airtonix> Xsylotte: apply it and restart
[08:07] <beterraba> eae
[08:07] <beterraba> =)
[08:08] <Azzkikr> zarilion: just remember, if your xserver fails to start (gnome or KDE fails) always put back your original xorg.conf file
[08:08] <airtonix> Xsylotte: woops drastic

[08:20] <mpx> danny3793, ill try that in a moment! :)
[08:21] <shatrat> mpx, sounds like a graphics problem.  Can you boot into recovery mode, single user mode, whatever it's called in grub?

[08:21] <Broccoly> anyone know how to change the number of lines scrolled for the mouse wheel?
[08:22] <Just1n> I hate where microsoft is going with vista, so i have decided to try and make the switch to linux. I've installed both Ubuntu and Kubuntu. I really like the Gnome Desktop in Unbuntu alot more. Only problem is i can't cant any distro of linus to properly display the Xserv with my video card (256m Nvidia 6800 GT, PCI-E) I've done some research and all i can seem to find are fixes for the AGP or standard PCI versions. Just curious if maybe anothe
[08:22] <mpx> shatrat, yes recovery mode with same kernel works.

[08:22] <JinRoh> Does anybody know how can I force Firefox to open all links (of every type) in a new Tab, instead of a new Window??
[08:22] <miesa> sdf
[08:22] <Azzkikr> JinRoh: yes, sec
[08:23] <dyrne> Just1n: thats the same card i have
[08:23] <JinRoh> Azzkikr:  ok, I selected an opntion in FF menu, but doesn't seem to work ;)
[08:23] <neil89> rinroh, try tab mix plus
[08:23] <Azzkikr> JinRoh: oh, balls
[08:23] <PriceChild> Just1n, does the restricted manager not work for you?
[08:23] <dyrne> Just1n: well model anyway. i havent had any trouble with it
[08:23] <Azzkikr> JinRoh: i was just about to suggest that :D
[08:23] <shatrat> mpx, what graphics hardware do you have?  I have a feeling you might need to 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' or reinstall drivers
[08:23] <JinRoh> :'(
[08:23] <sonic> How can I tell what version of NFS client tools I'm using? I don't know if I'm using NFS version 3 or NFS version 4.
[08:23] <sonic> I suppose I'd like to know the NFS server version as well.
[08:23] <gurkzor_> HellO!
[08:23] <JinRoh> Azzkikr:  I already have it selected, but I don't know why it doesn't work (it wrks in Windows)
[08:23] <Azzkikr> sup
[08:23] <Just1n> When the restricted drivers manager updates my video dirvers it causes xserv to crash and i'm force to reinstall the whole os, due to lack of repair knowledge in linux.

[08:24] <magnummandel> anyone famliar with realtek wired network drivers?
[08:24] <shatrat> mpx, right.  Ok I would do the 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' and choose 'nv' as the driver when you get to that point, I think that might get you back to a graphical environtment.  Then you would want to reinstall the official drivers and reconfigure
[08:25] <sonic> dope: Using GRUB? If so, man grub.conf
[08:25] <dyrne> Just1n: a quick fix to that is 1)alt-ctrl-f2 2)login 3)sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  and choose vesa as your driver 4) sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[08:25] <Azzkikr> JinRoh: check within Ubuntu: go to the menu System -> Preferences -> Preferred Applications
[08:25] <sonic> dope: Use the default <integer value> option in case you're too lazy to read the documentation.
[08:25] <Flannel> dope: in /boot/grub/menu.lst, change the "default" option
[08:25] <JinRoh> Azzkikr:  what there?
[08:25] <dope> ok thx
[08:25] <Azzkikr> JinRoh: there is an option to open a link in a new tab. Perhaps that solves it
[08:25] <Just1n> okay i'll give that a shot in a sec, currently reloading Vista under a new partition. =(
[08:25] <JinRoh> oh I got it
[08:25] <JinRoh> Will try Thx
[08:26] <JinRoh> 1 sec
[08:26] <mpx> shatrat, so in to recovery mode and "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and set it to nv?
[08:26] <dyrne> Just1n: im not too familiar with the gui tools for ubuntu but there are several guides to installing 'nvidia latest' or whatnot
[08:26] <shatrat> mpx, yes, that will change you over to the open source 2d only driver built into xorg, it wont be pretty but it will get you a GUI :D
[08:26] <JinRoh> Azzkikr:  It seems to work :D Thx !
[08:26] <shatrat> mpx, assuming it's a driver problem that is
[08:26] <Broccoly> so number of lines scrolled by the mouse wheel is not changeble? :)
[08:26] <Azzkikr> JinRoh: youe welcome! :D
[08:27] <soundray> Just1n: why do you want the restricted drivers?
[08:27] <mpx> shatrat, gotta try something here, it's better than no gui at all! :)

[08:31] <JinRoh> Azzkikr:  by any change you wouldn't know a "Total Commander-like" program in Ubuntu right?? :P
[08:32] <hendaus> helpers, is right to upgrade from dapper to fiesty, or edgy then fiesty? thanx for anyone anwering my question
[08:32] <kbrooks> JinRoh: mc
[08:32] <kbrooks> hendaus: dapper -> edgy -> fiesty
[08:32] <dawn_chorus> esodan, you should see a "Configure how Firefox connects ..."
[08:32] <per> I have two computers with different sound cards and neither of them can i use for surround
[08:33] <esodan> dawn_chorus: Tha is configured now even with System->Preference->Proxy, Epyphany doesn't work sends a TCP error page
[08:33] <JinRoh> kbrooks:   that's text mode! not Total Commander like :P (NC)
[08:33] <jason123> u have to update the dapper to edgy then update edgy to fiesty
[08:33] <tatters> When I try to empty Trash I get error that the file does not exist, how can I clear the trash cache, whatever, that is holding the bogus info

[08:33] <aabrahao> Where Can I find a windows client to vnc ubuntu
[08:33] <hendaus> kbrooks: i am using now dapper, but i have burn the latest release of fiesty 7.4
[08:33] <shatrat> per, well, I just use headphones but I know alsa supports surround sound.  you might want to play around with alsamixer and look up your particular soundcard to see if it's problem hardware or something. Im not really an expert but I know it's possible
[08:33] <JinRoh> kbrooks:  what you mean by "a text gui"?
[08:34] <dawn_chorus> esodan, well, honestly, i have no experience using proxy. pointing you in the right direction was all i could do.  you should try asking in #mozilla.  :)

[08:37] <dawn_chorus> esodan, wish I could help more.
[08:44] <kbrooks> jason123: intel MAY have terminated support for that
[08:44] <Mizfar> Jason you should have your graphics card drivers properly installed.
[08:44] <psusi> glutton1: ohh... I think there was a bug in feisty where the livecd automatically uses the swap partition on the hard disk if it finds it, which means it's in use
[08:44] <psusi> glutton1: open a terminal and run sudo swapoff -a
[08:44] <Stormx2> How come xorg takes up so much cpu nowadays?

[08:45] <JinRoh> Does anyone know why if I install UbuntuStudio-Theme it doesn't appear in "Theme" in Gnome?? I can't use it (I am not using ubuntustudio, just the theme) I installed the packages from the official repositorio, and it works for most people.
[08:45] <glutton1> psusi: actually, im getting ride of all my linux drives. im re-installing it

[08:45] <Get_A_Fix> Have only formatted drives during installation of ubuntu, how is it done after installation, which utility is used please.
[08:45] <amichai> I have a Canon Lide 20
[08:45] <jason123> so there isnt any thing i can install to make the gl games work
[08:45] <amichai> Doesn't work
[08:45] <beruic> imase: I love you for that!
[08:45] <NokiaN80> can any one answer me please? :)
[08:45] <amichai> I read the bug thread
[08:45] <Stormx2> shatrat: Okay... how could I check?
[08:45] <tondar> any dock to use in a ubuntu running in vm??
[08:45] <shatrat> Stormx2, glxinfo | grep rendering  , it will say yes or no
[08:45] <imase> blizzard-products for linux!  http://www.petitiononline.com/ibpfl/petition.html
[08:45] <Stormx2> shatrat: No. Do I need a propreietry nvidia driver to do this?
[08:45] <shatrat> Stormx2, is that what chipset you use?  I recommend it.  I certainly like the drivers performance on mine.
[08:45] <soundray> NokiaN80: you're not getting an answer because it's hard to tell what went wrong. Could you just try installing again?
[08:45] <tondar> any dock to use in a ubuntu running in vm??
[08:45] <soundray> tondar: don't repeat this again please. It's not even a question.
[08:45] <Stormx2> shatrat: I had issues using the nvidia-legacy driver... my kernel died one time and I asked what it might be... I think it was Seveas who said it was probably the driver. I'll install it anyway
[08:45] <NokiaN80> soundray: I did it several times and I get the same error message.
[08:45] <imase> @beruic why do you love for that?
[08:45] <tondar> soundray: i want a dock for ubuntu
[08:45] <soundray> NokiaN80: at what point does it come up?
[08:45] <shatrat> Stormx2, it's legacy? how old is your card?
[08:45] <tondar> soundray: a dock that I could use even in a vm
[08:45] <tondar> session
[08:45] <glutton1> psusi: now do you see what im trying to do?
[08:45] <oldude67_> how do i check to see what kernel i am running?
[08:45] <Stormx2> shatrat: Early nvidia card, pre-geforce.
[08:45] <giminy> anyone ever have locale problems in dapper?
[08:45] <soundray> oldude67_: uname -a
[08:45] <NokiaN80> soundray: it is the first thing comes up after I choose "install Ubuntu"
[08:45] <beruic> imase: I think it's about time they start. Signed it as fast as I could, and have allready sent it on ;)
[08:45] <soundray> NokiaN80: have you tried burning another CD?
[08:45] <NokiaN80> no
[08:45] <shatrat> Stormx2, geebus, yeah that's legacy.  I dont have any experience with that.  Might want to look here, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[08:45] <oldude67_> soundray: thanks
[08:45] <Flannel> NokiaN80: did you check the CD for defects?
[08:45] <tatters> When I try empty deleted items I get --->> "The file or folder /home/test/.local/share/Trash/files/VMware-server-installer-1_1.0.1-29996.exe does not exist. """  any ideas tips, tricks, command line kung fu to clean up this problem?
[08:45] <oldude67_> soundray: how would i update it?
[08:45] <soundray> NokiaN80: that's what I would do. Alternatively, do what Flannel suggests
[08:45] <NokiaN80> Nop
[08:45] <Stormx2> shatrat: Well I just went to System > Administration > Restricted Drivers and hit enable
[08:45] <soundray> oldude67_: what version is it?
[08:45] <beruic> Hi, I have tried to find this on Google, but seems to be unable too: How do i control which cd-drive  is ejected by my shortcut key for ejecting drives? Is there a config file or a place in gconf? I run Feisty...
[08:45] <NokiaN80> soundray: I get another error message.. " Failed to start the X server ( your graphical interface).
[08:45] <Apeezee> Can i get a huge favor from someone?  Every doc i look at for setting up my logitech mouse does not work
[08:45] <imase> beruic: i signed that about 30 minutes ago, there were only 580 signetures
[08:45] <oldude67_> soundray: original with 7.04, 2.6.15
[08:45] <imase> We need MORE!
[08:45] <imase> blizzard-products for linux!  http://www.petitiononline.com/ibpfl/petition.html
[08:45] <soundray> NokiaN80: choose Check CD for defects from the boot menu
[08:45] <NokiaN80> soundray ok.. hold on please
[08:45] <jason123> where can i find games that dont need graphic card to play
[08:45] <beruic> indeed we do :P
[08:45] <soundray> oldude67_: 2.6.15 was the kernel that came with 6.06. 7.04 comes with 2.6.20
[08:45] <beruic> 594 now
[08:45] <amichai> anyone?
[08:45] <amichai> should I switch back to Edgy?
[08:45] <oldude67_> soundray: i made my cd before it was released..:(
[08:45] <amichai> Or is there an update coming soon
[08:46] <zaggynl> imase, signed
[08:46] <soundray> oldude67_: still, 2.6.15 cannot be right. Please check again.
[08:46] <oldude67_> soundray: errr hold on ill check you may be right...let me check again....:)
[08:46] <bigmichi> why i cant use the VAR COLUMNS in a bash script? =( i can write in gnome-terminal echo $COLUMNS but in a script tahts dont work =(( why??
[08:46] <Pici> ubotu: tell style about away
[08:46] <imase> THANK YOU!!!
[08:47] <oldude67_> soundray: ya its 2.6.20.15
[08:47] <aminstiven> hey
[08:47] <soundray> oldude67_: then you have the most up to date kernel that is available for ubuntu.

[08:48] <oldude67_> soundray:well thought i was running a newer one , when i trashed my computer last night, by my own stupidity.:(
[08:48] <soundray> style: your IRC client sends away messages. These are unwelcome here.
[08:52] (Stevethepirate/#ubuntu) mentions ntfsfix.
[08:52] (dyrne/#ubuntu) tbuss: youve installed the mplayer mozilla package?
[08:52] (thelostboys/#ubuntu) join up
[08:52] (imase/#ubuntu) Blizzard-Products for Linux: http://www.petitiononline.com/ibpfl/petition.html
[08:52] (beruic/#ubuntu) tbuss: Is mozilla-mplayer installer?
[08:52] (Ayabara____/#ubuntu) any chance that tvout will work better for me in ubuntu than in kubuntu, or is it the same underlying stuff that runs on both
[08:53] (Pici/#ubuntu) !offtopic | imase
[08:53] (Stevethepirate/#ubuntu) a program to fix ntfs problems
[08:53] (ubotu/#ubuntu) imase: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[08:53] (tbuss/#ubuntu) dryne: yes
[08:53] (soundray/#ubuntu) Stevethepirate: ntfsfix has a fairly narrow remit compared to Windows chkdsk
[08:53] (tbuss/#ubuntu) beruic: yes
[08:53] (Stevethepirate/#ubuntu) Sigh!.
[08:53] (PiNE/#ubuntu) with some themes i can't set my panels to be transparent because the applets maintain the theme.  how would i change it so that i can use the theme?
[08:53] (kbrooks/#ubuntu) and fyi, it is almost impossible to spy on a computer from a lan if a) the data sent to and from the computer is encrypted, and b) there is no **remote assistance** (windows xp) enabled at all
[08:53] (Stevethepirate/#ubuntu) So, other than getting windows live cd..
[08:53] (LjL/#ubuntu) Stevethepirate: ah yes, it says "Fix common filesystem errors and force Windows to check NTFS.". you could give it a try i suppose (no guarantees from me at all!), but it'll likely tell you to boot to Windows i think.
[08:53] (Stevethepirate/#ubuntu) is there a way to fix HDD.
[08:53] (dyrne/#ubuntu) Ayabara____: same. i happen to think kde looks better at high res on tv though
[08:53] (imase/#ubuntu) ubotu: Thanks!
[08:53] (ubotu/#ubuntu) You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[08:53] (LjL/#ubuntu) Stevethepirate: i never said live CD
[08:53] (NokiaN80/#ubuntu) soundray: I ddi the check and it says here " check finished: errors found in 1 files! press any key to reboot your system"
[08:53] (dyrne/#ubuntu) Ayabara____: low res i mean
[08:53] (Stevethepirate/#ubuntu) LjL: or reinstall.
[08:53] <soundray> Stevethepirate: but I would try ntfsfix and then mount again
[08:53] <NokiaN80> did*
[08:53] <Stevethepirate> um
[08:53] <Stevethepirate> ntfsfix is not in repos though.
[08:54] <LjL> Stevethepirate: any normal Windows CD has a console mode you can enter and run chkdsk from
[08:54] <LjL> !find ntfsfix | Stevethepirate
[08:54] <beruic> tbuss: damn... I have a script for installing everything needed, wanna try it?
[08:54] <Stevethepirate> yeah.. but do i have such cd?
[08:54] <ubotu> stevethepirate: File ntfsfix found in ntfsprogs
[08:54] <Ayabara____> dyrne: ok. I have given it up now. couldn't get it to work with my 1366*768 lcd tv :-(
[08:54] <Just1n> well i dunno if anyone remembers me from about 15 mins ago, well i was installing vista while chatting on here for support, and it seems vista has tekn over my computer, how do i boot to Ubuntu if i installed it before vista?
[08:54] <Stevethepirate> ah!
[08:54] <kbrooks> if the computer in question does use various plain text protocols, like FTP, then that data can be poteintally spied on
[08:54] <tbuss> I have plugins in for VLC, Xine, Mplayer, and Totem
[08:54] <kbrooks> etc etc
[08:54] <Stevethepirate> ntfs-progs.. okay.. i'll try .. bbias
[08:54] <LjL> Stevethepirate: how would i know? if you had Windows installed, i'd guess so, but i'm not you :)
[08:54] <dyrne> Ayabara____: now it was at right resolution correct?
[08:54] <psusi> ntfsfix?  you have to have windows chkdsk ntfs partitions
[08:54] <Flannel> !grub | Just1n, first link
[08:54] <tbuss> beruic: yes! please
[08:54] <beruic> tbuss: Do you have a mail I can send it to?
[08:54] <ubotu> Just1n, first link: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[08:54] <soundray> NokiaN80: there you go. Your CD is faulty. You should run md5sum on the image you downloaded, and burn or redownload&burn depending on the result
[08:55] <Just1n> !grub
[08:55] <Stevethepirate> LjL: i don't have windows installed anymore.. it was installed on pc.. no cd came with for recovery though..
[08:55] <Just1n> cool thx for the links =)
[08:55] <tbuss> tbuss01@gmail
[08:55] <Ayabara____> dyrne: I just got "out of range", and I couldn't find out how to set it up
[08:55] <NokiaN80> soundray: So, I should now download another copy from Ubuntu.com and burn it again?
[08:55] <dyrne> Ayabara____: ok what are you using for the dual monotor what app?
[08:56] <LjL> Stevethepirate: if you're not going to use Windows anymore though, what's the whole point of keeping an NTFS partition?
[08:56] <dyrne> Ayabara____: that only means your signal is not one the tv can display
[08:56] <kbrooks> how do i resize swap?
[08:56] <soundray> NokiaN80: you don't have to if the md5sum on your existing downloaded .iso is correct
[08:56] <beruic> tbuss: Do you have a mail I can send it to? or another place I can dump it?
[08:56] <LjL> kbrooks: gparted?
[08:56] <Stevethepirate> LjL: since i don't have 500 gigs of storage space to put the stuff on that drive on.
[08:56] <Ayabara____> dyrne: I know. tried installing the restricted ati driver and using aticonfig, but I lost :-)
[08:56] <kbrooks> i have 256 mb of ram, and 256 mb of swap, is that OK?
[08:56] <NokiaN80> soundray: how do I know that is is correct?
[08:56] <Stevethepirate> and i'm not buying 130 dvds.
[08:56] <LjL> kbrooks: i'd make it at least 512
[08:56] <tbuss> beruic: tbuss01@gmail.com
[08:57] <Ayabara____> dyrne: I tried using the system settings for monitor & display at first
[08:57] <kbrooks> LjL: why?
[08:57] <soundray> NokiaN80: on the page where you downloaded the .iso, there are also files listing the correct md5sums.
[08:57] <albert> kbrooks, swap = 2x < 512 Ram :)
[08:57] <r00tintheb0x> 2.5x
[08:57] <albert> kbrooks, swap = 2x of Ram < 512 Ram :)
[08:57] <jhr-online> leutz, ich brauche mal hilfe :)
[08:57] <LjL> kbrooks: actually, i'd make the RAM 512 if at all possible ;-) well, 256Mb of RAM *is* quite likely to put swap to some use
[08:57] <albert> so i've read
[08:57] <NokiaN80> soundray: i see. i will check those
[08:57] <kbrooks> erm, why swap = 2x ram ?
[08:57] <jhr-online> sorry
[08:57] <r00tintheb0x> if i have 1gb of ram, i only have 512MB swap
[08:57] <LjL> albert, nonsense. that's a rule of thumb
[08:57] <soundray> jhr-online: gehe zu #ubuntu-de
[08:57] <dyrne> Ayabara____: more than likely everything is working. your signal is just too high quality. im not familiar with ati though. only really used twinview. can you edit the xorg.conf file to only display the res/refresh rate the tv supports?
[08:57] <albert> LjL, i said "so i've read"
[08:57] <jhr-online> soundray, mein fehler, sorry :)
[08:58] <esodan> To ANY one havin problems with fireFox in 7.04 DO THIS: change the general.useragent.extra.firefoxComment to (ubuntu 7.04) and THAT'S ALL
[08:58] <albert> LjL, even though pretty much everybody suggests double-ram
[08:58] <dyrne> Ayabara____: the signal out of range is actually a good sign :)
[08:58] <LjL> albert, kbrooks: there's this ages-long myth that swap "somehow must" be twice the RAM (other stories go that it must be 2.5, other 1.5...) - fact is, 2x the RAM might be a decent rule of thumb, but that's all. with 256Mb of RAM, anyway, i do advice something in the range of 512Mb of swap. with 2Gb of RAM, i'd never tell anyone to use 4Gb of swap
[08:59] <Ayabara____> dyrne: :-). when I booted with the tv connected, I actually got a garbled blue logon screen, so I guess it could be tweaked
[08:59] <beruic> tbuss: U got mail...
[08:59] <cb2> What does the +/- value of chmod represent?
[08:59] <soundray> cb2: a change in the permissions
[08:59] <danny3793> LjL, i currently have 1GB of RAM and 2GB of swap, but i dont get what Swap is for...
[08:59] <cb2> soundray: right, but what does one value mean over another? like +700 vs +1000?
[08:59] <Stevethepirate> Nope.. ,force option does not work.. :(
[09:00] <NokiaN80> soundray: another question: I downloaded this copy from one of those torrent sites, I didn't download it directly from the site.. should I download the one in Ubuntu's site?
[09:00] <Ayabara____> dyrne: I'm going back to the "standard" driver now.
[09:00] <albert> LjL, actually you can figure the average swap use after a while
[09:00] <Stevethepirate> danny3793: swap is like 'virtual memory' in windows
[09:00] <danny3793> LjL, i actually have 2,256MB of swap :P
[09:00] <aabrahao> Where Can I find a windows client to vnc ubuntu?
[09:00] <tbuss> beruic: got it, thank you very much
[09:00] <Stevethepirate> i have 4 gigs of swap..
[09:00] <Stevethepirate> lol.
[09:00] <beruic> tbuss: hope it does it for you ;)
[09:00] <soundray> cb2: you don't use the numbers with + and -. Read man chmod, it has all the details.
[09:00] <danny3793> Stevethepirate: guess it carries over then to linux? i mean if you had a fast hdd with 16mb cache and 10,000 RPm, wouldnt that be some good virtual memory? :P
[09:00] <LjL> danny3793, your computer has a physical addressing space and a virtual addressing space. this means that when a program requests to read/write something from/to memory, that something might not necessarily be in physical RAM, but might be "swapped out" to disk. this way, your programs can allocate more RAM than is physically available
[09:01] <soundray> NokiaN80: again, if the md5sum is good, then your torrent download is good, too.
[09:01] <beruic> I'll try my own problem again then. I have tried to find this on Google, but seems to be unable too: How do i control which cd-drive  is ejected by my shortcut key for ejecting drives? Is there a config file or a place in gconf? I run Ubuntu Feisty...
[09:01] <danny3793> LjL, ohh so basically if i have a program that is idle in RAM, it just kicks it onto my swap?
[09:01] <Stevethepirate> danny3793: not necessarily
[09:02] <Stevethepirate> there are some cunning ways in which programs are shifted between RAM and swap
[09:02] <NokiaN80> soundray: ok, Thanks alot for your help.. I appreciate it :)
[09:02] <LjL> Stevethepirate, danny3793: "virtual memory" is a misnomer. both Windows and Linux (and most modern systems) use a virtual memory model. "swap" is simply a mechanism that can be implemented (and usually is) when a virtual memory system is available.
[09:02] <danny3793> Stevethepirate: i can see, im already a tad confused :P
[09:02] <danny3793> LjL, but swap is way slower than actual RAM is right?
[09:02] <soundray> beruic: I think you should try asking this one on the forums.
[09:03] <LjL> danny3793: if it thinks other programs might get better use of the physical RAM, yes. or if it thinks you may get better benefits from a larger file cache than from fast responsiveness of the idle program
[09:03] <beruic> soundray: ubuntuforums.org?
[09:03] <LjL> danny3793: orders of magnitude slower, yes. swap is disk.
[09:03] <soundray> beruic: yes
[09:03] <Stevethepirate> LjL: i'm just trying to explain to him in as simple as i can
[09:03] <beruic> soundray: thx :)
[09:03] <Stevethepirate> *simply
[09:03] <danny3793> LjL, ahh, makes much better sense now :)
[09:03] <Stevethepirate> LjL: alas.. ntfsfix does not work..
[09:04] <LjL> Stevethepirate: i do think you need a windows cd.
[09:04] <krustig> If i want to devellope in PHP which program is a good one ?
[09:04] <Stevethepirate> LjL: that would be disappointing.
[09:04] <Stevethepirate> krustig: amarok
[09:04] <Stevethepirate> ;)
[09:05] <Stevethepirate> jokes
[09:05] <swatF1RESTORM> can someone help me with my ifconfig file please?

[09:05] <James_> Anybody know how to get my ZyXEL G-202 Wireless USB Stick to work in Ubuntu?
[09:05] <Stevethepirate> alsa
[09:05] <Stevethepirate> James_: i have that EXACT sticj
[09:05] <Stevethepirate> *stick
[09:05] <Stevethepirate> gave me a hard time for about a week
[09:05] <James_> Steve: Do u have it working?
[09:05] <Stevethepirate> Yeah
[09:06] <Stevethepirate> I got one of my friends to do it though..
[09:06] <faemir> Stevethepirate: can you change your name to Stevetheninjapirate?
[09:06] <Stevethepirate> [hes a wireless guru] 
[09:06] <James_> Steve: so u couldn't help me?
[09:06] <Stevethepirate> faemir: huh?
[09:06] <Stevethepirate> why?
[09:06] <swatF1RESTORM> what's the best way to switch back and forth between WLAN and LAN?
[09:06] <faemir> nevermind ^_^
[09:06] <Stevethepirate> James_: alas
[09:06] <soundray> James_: what's the chipset on that stick?
[09:06] <Stevethepirate> Anyway.. i'm going to watch Shrek 3.. cya ppl.
[09:07] <linux_> hey everyone ... just installed ubuntu 7.04 and loving it. am new, first time using linux
[09:07] <James_> Soundray: I have no idea :(
[09:07] <James_> cya steve
[09:07] <linux_> just can't seem to get ubuntu to recognise my usb flash drive, thats all
[09:07] <linux_> does anyone know how to ge it to work?
[09:07] <jshen> anyone know how I can make an alias or shell script for "history | grep something" where 'something' is an argument?
[09:07] <faemir> does it react at all to it being connected?
[09:08] <Trig> Hey ppl, one short question, i havent used any linux distributions for several years, and im interested if Ubuntu 7.04 requires 'swap' memory partition or not?
[09:08] <linux_> well, it showed up but i can't open it
[09:08] <LjL> jshen: make a script saying  history | grep $@ 
[09:08] <dyrne> linux_: unplug it and replug then type 'dmesg' in a terminal the very bottom of dmesg should mention a sda or sdb
[09:08] <LjL> jshen: make a script saying  history | grep "$@"  even
[09:08] <soundray> James_: according to google, it should work with the zd1211rw driver. Have you got that loaded? Check with 'lsmod | grep zd1211rw'
[09:08] <faemir> linux_: :\
[09:08] <jshen> LjL: what is "$@"
[09:09] <linux_> k ... let me try
[09:09] <Just1n> Okay i'm trying to get my Nvida 6800 GT PCI-E working properly in Ubuntu. tried "<dyrne> Just1n: a quick fix to that is 1)alt-ctrl-f2 2)login 3)sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  and choose vesa as your driver 4) sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" and says dkpg must be run as root.
[09:09] <James_> lsmod | grep zd1211rw showed nothing
[09:09] <soundray> Trig: it doesn't require one, but it's better to have one.
[09:09] <jshen> LjL: oh, the problem is that history in a script doesn't look at the history for my current shell
[09:09] <LjL> jshen: $@ means "all arguments passed to the script command line"
[09:09] <_Danske_dreng_> hi all
[09:09] <LjL> jshen: i see, hold on
[09:09] <jshen> LjL: try putting history in a script :)
[09:09] <_Danske_dreng_> is there any way to boot using live cd without checking harddrives/
[09:09] <_Danske_dreng_> ?
[09:10] <soundray> James_: run 'ifconfig', then 'sudo modprobe zd1211rw', then 'ifconfig' again to check if the output has changed.
[09:10] <_Danske_dreng_> trying to boot but it says "Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 0"
[09:10] <_Danske_dreng_> and take too long to start
[09:10] <patrialt> hello, im having a very weird problem
[09:10] <faemir> ...
[09:10] <LjL> jshen: "man history" says: "If FILENAME is given, then that is used as the history file else if $HISTFILE has a value, that is used, else ~/.bash_history." - you could just reproduce this behavior
[09:11] <James_> Soundray: Didn't change
[09:11] <Just1n> Okay i'm trying to get my Nvida 6800 GT PCI-E working properly in Ubuntu. tried "<dyrne> Just1n: a quick fix to that is 1)alt-ctrl-f2 2)login 3)sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  and choose vesa as your driver 4) sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" and says dkpg must be run as root.
[09:11] <Ayabara____> how can I revert my xorg.conf if I forgot to save a backup?
[09:11] <patrialt> Lol, that was a little under informed, Umm, the problem is, im using gsambad to configure my samba, and when i activate it, and go to view my network, the gsambad deactivates
[09:11] <soundray> James_: 'dmesg | tail' -- any messages about the driver?
[09:11] <jshen> LjL: i figured it out
[09:11] <_Danske_dreng_> Ayabara there should be some backups
[09:12] <_Danske_dreng_> try to look better
[09:12] <jshen> LjL: alias pgrep='source ~/bin/_pgrep'
[09:12] <James_> not that I can see
[09:12] <hagabaka> Ayabara____: get a hipnotist to help you remember :)
[09:12] <jshen> LjL: you have to source it. Then _pgrep is just: history | grep $1
[09:12] <soundray> James_: please use my nick, so I don't miss your replies
[09:12] <Ayabara____> hagabaka: heh
[09:13] <James_> soundray:sry
[09:13] <soundray> James_: try 'lsmod | grep zd' again
[09:13] <Neon_Gen_Eva> Okay, I tried to update Ubunto to 6.10 online, and my internet dies halfway through.  Now, the terminal is dead, job control off, and something about tty.  If I reinstall Ubuntu, will it have to erase all the data on my Drive to reinstall?
[09:13] <DShepherd> ok.. i have a usb camera (integrated hp) .. how can i find out where the device is mounted (I have no clue what I am talking about).. under the /dev/ folder i mean.. hope i made some sense..
[09:13] <Ayabara____> found "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg". is that correct?
[09:13] <Just1n> Anyone know how to properly setup a Nvidia 6800 GT PCI-E to run Ubuntu?
[09:13] <nox-Hand> which command is it to dpkg-reconfigure ALSA?
[09:13] <_Danske_dreng_> Ayabara____ did you do that before?
[09:13] <Neon_Gen_Eva> '] 
[09:13] <disinterested> justin dont u have a agp slot?
[09:14] <James_> soundray: zd1211rw               52868  0 it says that??
[09:14] <Just1n> no i don't
[09:14] <disinterested> ok
[09:14] <Ayabara____> _Danske_dreng_: no. I have just messed around with aticonfig
[09:14] <Just1n> i have a pci-e card, with a pci-e mobo why would i need agp?
[09:14] <soundray> James_: that means the driver is loaded now, good.
[09:14] <LjL> jshen: uhm except pgrep is an existing command =) but aside from that, i suppose it works. my solution would have been http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21884/
[09:14] <James_> soundray: So I should be able to use it now?
[09:14] <disinterested> i just wondered if u had a agp
[09:15] <Just1n> oh
[09:15] <Just1n> nope =\
[09:15] <Just1n> apparenlty there are fixes for the AGP version
[09:15] <_Danske_dreng_> so what ab my question? any ideas?
[09:15] <Just1n> i can't find anyting anywhere on the PCI-E version
[09:15] <soundray> James_: I don't think so, since your ifconfig output hasn't changed...
[09:15] <jshen> LjL: one downside of that way is that the command you've run in your current shell aren't written to the history file in realtime. So you'll be missing some recent commands
[09:15] <soundray> James_: could you run 'ifconfig -a' and paste the output on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org please
[09:15] <jshen> LjL: and thanks for the heads up about the pgrep name
[09:16] <disinterested> my geforce 5200 uses the agp slot and works fine
[09:16] <James_> soundray: sure
[09:16] <Just1n> Anyone know of a good linux distro thats good for noobs, that might be a little more compatable with my nvidia 6800 gt PCI-E?
[09:16] <nox-Hand> I want alsa to use my PCI card, not the mobo one. How do I change it?
[09:16] <urko> enybody for a beer?
[09:16] <PurpZeY> What is the difference between apt-get and aptitude?
[09:16] <oldude67_> how do i get the kde desk top?
[09:16] <James_> soundray: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21885/
[09:16] <LjL> !aptitude > PurpZeY    (PurpZeY, see the private message from Ubotu)
[09:17] <LjL> !kde > oldude67_    (oldude67_, see the private message from Ubotu)
[09:17] <LjL> urko: no, we're here for Ubuntu support. join #ubuntu-offtopic for beers
[09:17] <PurpZeY> LjL: So, is it better generally to install things using aptitude, so if you want to remove later it is easier?
[09:17] <urko> i am just kidding
[09:17] <urko> sorry
[09:17] <Just1n> lol
[09:17] <_Danske_dreng_> is there any way to boot using live cd without checking harddrives?
[09:17] <_Danske_dreng_> trying to boot but it says "Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 0"
[09:17] <LjL> PurpZeY: not really, as that feature is now present (since Edgy) in all APT frontends, including apt-get
[09:18] <PurpZeY> LjL: Got it, thanks.
[09:18] <Just1n> does anyone know if this is just a Nvidia problem or a problem with linux running PCI-E ?
[09:18] <LjL> PurpZeY: aptitude is still a quite powerful program, though. google "aptitude manual", if you just look at the "search patterns" section, you'll see just how powerful it is
[09:18] <Neon_Gen_Eva> Okay, I tried to update Ubunto to 6.10 online, and my internet dies halfway through.  Now, the terminal is dead, job control off, and something about tty.  If I reinstall Ubuntu, will it have to erase all the data on my Drive to reinstall?
[09:18] <oldude67_> Ljl: thanks
[09:18] <Laibsch> How do I tell the kernel to mount root from NFS?  I cannot seem to get it right
[09:19] <der0b> just1n: I run a nvidia pci-e (7600 gs).  I just used the restriced drivers manager and a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and was good to go
[09:19] <Ayabara____> LjL: thanks
[09:19] <swatF1RESTORM> can anyone help me?
[09:20] <Just1n> i'll give it s ahot Der0
[09:20] <James_> soundray: U still there? Sorry for bein pushy if u are
[09:20] <soundray> James_: 'grep zd1211 /var/log/syslog' -- pastebin that as well pls
[09:20] <James_> soundray: Paste in that webpage?
[09:21] <James_> soundray: If so, I get this:   http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21887/
[09:22] <stiv2k> anyone here have an nvidia chipset laptop having trouble suspend/hibernating on feisty
[09:22] <Just1n> DER0 - Do i run the restricted drivers, then change the xorg file, and then reboot?
[09:22] <PurpZeY> der0b: dpkg-reconfigure is going to revert the xorg back to it's original state?
[09:22] <Ayabara____> dyrne: do you know how I edit my xorg.conf to put in the resolution and sync details for my tv?
[09:23] <soundray> James_: I thought you might be looking at this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.17/+bug/60222
[09:23] <W8TAH> hi folks - i accidenlty installed vmware player instead of server -- i uninstalled player and rebooted but server install still tells me that it detectes a previous installation -- what do i need to kill to get it to work?
[09:23] <soundray> James_: but I'm not sure.
[09:24] <James_> soundray: I am a real big Linux noob :( What do I need to do, or is there nothing I can do?

[09:24] <sdac> hi,  i am trying to share mouse/key with synergy between XP laptop and Fiesty desktop.  I am on home network and each machine can succesfully ping the other.  Yet i cannot get them to connect with synergy.  Could they be using different ports as i have it set on 24800 in XP, but on Fiesty the "synergy.conf" file does not have an area to specific port.. any ideas ?
[09:24] <der0b> just1n: purpzey: - I would try just using the restricted driver manager, follow it's prompts and see what happens after it tells you to reboot.  you may not need the dpkg-reconfigure, it's there if you can't get X to run after the driver install
[09:24] <James_> soundray: Huh?
[09:24] <soundray> James_: you may have to install this package ^^ and compile the driver. Look at /usr/share/doc/zd1211-source/README.Debian for help
[09:24] <stefg> W8TAH: delete the /etc/vmware dir
[09:25] <Just1n> i know for sure that X will stop running as soon as i activate the drivers and reboot
[09:25] <Just1n> i did it 3 times last night
[09:25] <DARKGuy> sdac: try setting a port as a command parameter? did you read the man page? google? those are the ideas I have in mind right now :P
[09:25] <W8TAH> stefg, thanks
[09:25] <brainiac8008> i have a laptop with an intel core duo processor (two 32-bit processors).   Is 7.04 x86 right for me?
[09:25] <soundray> James_: this is a bit beyond what can be expected of a newbie, but it's all I can say at the moment.
[09:25] <PurpZeY> der0b: I was just curious about dpkg-reconfigure itself and what it would do...
[09:26] <tbuss> can some one help me get ff to play a media clip. I have tried a script for install of all required apps. i have totem, vlc, mplayer and xine installed, I have tried the totem plugin for ff and also mozilla-mplayer. I have tried adjusting the settings in mediaPlayerConnectivity in firefox, wtf
[09:26] <Scunizi> brainiac8008, Yep.. try the live CD and see how it works for you...
[09:26] <brainiac8008> scunizi, ty
[09:26] <soundray> James_: sorry, it's what I have to leave you alone with. Please ask the channel again.
[09:26] <Ax3> -rwxr-xr-x <---- can anyone tell me the groupings? user group all? confused
[09:27] <der0b> purpzey: it'll re-write your xorg.conf file based on your answers to the questions it asks.  So yep, it will allow to recreate the file if you manually trash it somehow :)
[09:27] <gdb> Ax3: user, group, other
[09:27] <James_> soundray: Thx so much u have been a great help!! :D
[09:27] <gdb> Ax3: ie; you, your friends, the world
[09:27] <gdb> :-D
[09:27] <fsckr> Ax3, if im not mistaken groups have execute
[09:27] <fsckr> you have ;)
[09:27] <gdb> Ax3: and btw, that is mode 755 that you have displayed in your example
[09:27] <Ax3> gdb, so based on that example, user has rwx, group has r-xx, and other has r-x
[09:28] <gdb> well, group has r-x, but yes, that's correct
[09:28] <Ax3> group = r-x *
[09:28] <Ax3> there's a space before user -rwx
[09:28] <your_friend_Luc> afternoon everyone
[09:28] <Ax3> what does that indicate?
[09:28] <gdb> The initial - indicates a "plain file" and has nothing to do with the permissions themselves.
[09:28] <Ax3> ah
[09:29] <Just1n> Der0b - "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" must be run as root. how do i acess the root?

[09:32] <Just1n> frame*
[09:32] <Flannel> haakon_: shred is already installed
[09:32] <insomniac190> Is there any compatibility issues with ubuntu and certain external harddrives?  Or am I okay to buy any brand/model?

[09:33] <Scunizi> Ireclan, Yep..
[09:33] <haakon_> Thanks anyone, completly new to linux and text scrolls up to fast :-) Thanks for answer
[09:33] <haakon_> everyone* hehe
[09:33] <Ax3> gdb: so if i wanted to give a command to everyone i could just sudo chmod ugo+x /bin/<command>
[09:33] <Scunizi> Ireclan, but I'm liking kontact better every day.
[09:34] <Ireclan> Scunizi: How do you set it up to automatically rerout junk mail from your inbox to your junk mail folder?
[09:34] <stefg> insomniac190: it's the controllers which need to be compatible, so from that point od view all drives are the same for ubuntu
[09:34] <orbisvicis> does anyone know what this [make: *** [install-recursive]  Error 1]  means ?
[09:34] <gdb> Ax3: Ah, you can use "a" synonymously with "ugo" so that command can be written as "chmod a+x", but yes, that's more or less correct.
[09:34] <Scunizi> Ireclan, Evo has a built in junk filter and you can add others.  There should be an option in the email account side to activate.

[09:36] <bbrazil> nikin: script
[09:36] <Ireclan> Scunizi: Where exactly is this Junkmail filter option? Forgive me, but I'm not seeing it...
[09:36] <gdb> Which, of course, was not really the question. It's outside the scope of the question I'm answering as we're not dealing with suid, sgid, or sticky bit permissions.  But your ... kabitz is noted. ;-)
[09:36] <Scunizi> Ireclan, go to private channel that's already open.
[09:36] <Just1n> wow you guys are amazing, i spent like 7 hours yesterday trying to figure this out on my own, i have one last question, whats the best way (if there is one) to play World of Warcraft on Ubuntu?
[09:36] <gdb> I'll be certain to include some boiler plate disclaimers in the future to keep the peanut gallery happy. ;-)
[09:36] <orbisvicis> where are supposed to compile on ubuntu .. as root is restricted ?
[09:37] <nikin> bbrazil: no such package
[09:37] <der0b> just1n: so all is good with the card now?
[09:37] <Just1n> yea, i'm so shocked that it worked, i thought it was hopeless
[09:37] <bbrazil> nikin: It's probably in something like bsdutils
[09:37] <gdb> orbisvicis: Your home directory, or if you're talking about a kernel, the normal recommended process is to set /usr/src/linux* to be owned by you or the person responsible for kernel complilations on the system.
[09:37] <insomniac190> stefg: how can i find out if the controller is compatible
[09:37] <cox377> I seem to have messed my ubuntu up by trying to consolodate my java's
[09:37] <nikin> bbrazil: i do an apt-file
[09:37] <bbrazil> nikin: a dpkg -S indicates it is bsdutils
[09:38] <der0b> just1n: you will need to look into making WoW work with wine or Cedega.  I would say that there are probably some really good tutorials out there for WoW.  I've heard about many (I don't actually play)
[09:38] <cox377> i've got JRE6 installed but when i type java -version it doesnt state the version, and i cant open variour things
[09:38] <gdb> orbisvicis: And root is not restricted on Ubuntu, either.
[09:38] <nikin> bbrazil: ty
[09:38] <orbisvicis> su ?
[09:38] <Ax3> Just1n: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=6482
[09:38] <ompaul> orbisvicis, no
[09:38] <stefg> insomniac190: it's on the MoBo, so if you have ubuntu running, it obviously works :-)
[09:38] <der0b> just1n: Glad to help :) - there's a learning curve but Ubuntu is a lot of fun once you get into it
[09:38] <ompaul> !root | orbisvicis (please read the url the bot sent you)
[09:38] <haakon_> flannel, it doesn't seem like "Shred" works for a whole partition. Only files right?
[09:38] <ubotu> orbisvicis (please read the url the bot sent you): sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:38] <ompaul> woops misused the bot
[09:39] <gdb> orbisvicis: I'm not seeing the connection between the use of su or sudo and root being 'restricted', you're more than able to get a root shell.  There is nothing "restricted" about root on Ubuntu, it simply does not have a password assigned to the account.  You're free to assign one or not as you like.
[09:39] <insomniac190> stefg: okay...thanks for the help!!
[09:39] <cbs> how do I mount a *.bin file?
[09:39] <cox377_> testing
[09:39] <gdb> Rather tha account is "locked" (for the peanut gallery).
[09:39] <orbisvicis> logging in as root, that doesnt seem to work ?
[09:39] <Just1n> thanks Der0b i'll look into it, again thanks for the fanatstic support, hopefully ubuntu can fullfill my needs and i wont have to revert back to M$
[09:40] <cholera> I have use http://www.cs.cornell.edu/~djm/ubuntu/ and http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty to install multimedia codecs and plugins. I'm running feisty with ff2. I am unable to play video clips in ff. I have tried plugins for xine, mplayer, totem, and vlc, none of these work
[09:40] <erUSUL> cbs: do you have the cue? use bchunk to turn it an iso file
[09:40] <nikin> bbrazil: ty :D
[09:40] <der0b> just1n: good luck :)
[09:40] <ompaul> orbisvicis, don't use root use that url I pounted you at

[09:40] <orbisvicis> my bad
[09:40] <cox377_> can someone look at the this pastebin and see what i'm doing wrong
[09:40] <gdb> orbisvicis: Again, the account is locked, it is not restricted in any way. You are free to get a root shell, to assign a password and unlock the account, to use sudo -i for an interactive root shell, to compile in your home directory.  The root account is *not restricted*.

[09:41] <orbisvicis> i though this meant that I was compiling in the wrong directory [make: *** [install-recursive]  Error 1] 
[09:41] <gdb> ompaul: I'm afraid the reference is lost on me.  What did I miss?
[09:42] <stefg> cholera: certain drm restricted streaming medai just won't play. have you tried different URLs?
[09:42] <ompaul> gdb, orb.. said right right right my bad
[09:42] <gdb> ompaul: Oh, sorry, I stare at what I'm typing when ... typing, and I did miss it.
[09:42] <cholera> stefg: it is a clip from my own website, plays on other box's except mine?
[09:42] <gdb> sorry about that! :-)
[09:42] <nexous> Can I use Reconstructor 2.6 on ubuntu 6.06?
[09:42] <cbs> erUSUL: LoL@ Example: bchunk foo.bin foo.cue foo
[09:42] <VR_> Everyone/Anyone! I'd like to install Transmission (torrent client) - it's not in the repos, right? Is there a howto to compile this? I tried but had some trouble, and also, are there any other recommended lightweight torrent clients? (I'm in xubuntu)
[09:43] <cbs> erUSUL: I dont have a cue for the bin
[09:43] <stefg> cholera: so are you able to play it locally with e.g. mplayer?
[09:43] <cbs> is there a way to generate one?
[09:43] <dennis1984> Anyone know if there's any substitute of TVUPlayer for Ubuntu? It's prolly one of the reasons I haven't yet switched ta Ubunto from XP.
[09:43] <cholera> stefg: yes, in other players as well
[09:43] <kazol> If I go to a website, will my desktop\computer name and username be logged?
[09:43] <cholera> stefg: mostly vlc but it failed in ff
[09:44] <stefg> cholera: some other plugins in FF which might interfere?
[09:44] <gdb> kazol: Your computer address will be, it's unlikely that your username will be unless you provide that in an interactive form to the web server via a page you visit.
[09:44] <PepperBob> kazol, paranoid ?-)
[09:44] <gdb> kazol: ie; you type it into a page and press "submit" ;-)
[09:44] <cholera> stefg: Im using the mediaPlayerConnectivity configuration to setup which player handles which files
[09:44] <cbs> erUSUL: you there?
[09:45] <kazol> gdb: But what about automatically? I think the computer name could be logged in m$.
[09:45] <wirser> hi I just installed 6.06 and am having trouble getting a 3d nvidia driver installed, I tried doing it to "official "way with no luck I either need to be pointed to a nexample of /etc/X11/xorg.conf or how to run int3 with gdm
[09:45] <erUSUL> cbs: sometimes the cue is not necesary try the program anyway
[09:45] <DShepherd> ok.. i have a usb camera (integrated hp) .. how can i find out where the device is mounted (I have no clue what I am talking about).. under the /dev/ folder i mean.. hope i made some sense..
[09:45] <darwin> Is it possible to run Mac OS X under Ubuntu?
[09:45] <Duo_> LoL,  what was the offtopic chat channel name? :S
[09:45] <cbs> erusul: whats the syntax if Im not using a que?
[09:45] <DanaG> Can't bind to dhcp address: Address already in use
[09:45] <cbs> cue*
[09:45] <DanaG> trying to dhcpd tap0.
[09:45] <dennis1984> darwin: it sure is possible
[09:45] <kazol> PepperBob: Just want more security...Probably yes.
[09:46] <thoreauputic> darwin: PPC version, yes - using mac on linux
[09:46] <PepperBob> kazol, turning off java script should be the first thing to do.
[09:46] <tatters> Where is the list that trash uses to know which files to delete, I have entry to a file that does not exist and get error when empty trash folder
[09:46] <thoreauputic> !mol | darwin
[09:46] <ubotu> darwin: mol is MacOnLinux. For a complete howto, visit http://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacOnLinuxHowto
[09:46] <Just1n> heh on more quick question, since i've rebooted my gui after updating my xorg file, there is an icon in the corner of a video cars, telling me THe restricted drivers are in use, but the "Enabled" check box isn't checked, should i check it?
[09:46] <gdb> kazol: Well, the server will of course be able to log your computer address as it needs to know the address of the system that is making a request for service (ie; "send me this page to read.")  However, your username on your desktop computer is not provided as part of a normal web transaction.  Now if you're using Internet Explorer and talking to an Internet Information Server system, then there may be ways for the server to query and log your username.
[09:46] <Duo_> !offtopic
[09:46] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[09:47] <cholera> stefg: about:plugins list Totem as the browser plugin w/ a quicktime plugin and wmp10 (compatible; totem)
[09:47] <Duo_> Danke!
[09:47] <thoreauputic> darwin: afaik the mactels won't run mol
[09:47] <erUSUL> cbs: no sure... 'bchunk file.bin' does not work?
[09:47] <swatF1RESTORM> i need networking help... where is the best place to go?
[09:47] <kazol> gdb: Thanks. So Firefox
[09:47] <bobmartin> hello folks, what are the actual mimum requirements for ubuntu, I see it says 256 megs.  Im trying to start up the cd so i can instlall it on an old p3 700 but after the loading bar goes away it just sits at a black screen with a flashing caret.
[09:47] <kazol> gdb: \Ubuntu does not release this information. Good.
[09:47] <Azzkikr> bobmartin: try xubuntu for old pc's
[09:48] <stefg> cholera: try mozilla-mplayer and uninstall all the others (to make sure totem isn't intercepting)
[09:48] <thoreauputic> bobmartin: try the 'alternate" cd to install on older boxen
[09:48] <PepperBob> gdb, i could imagine that'll work via ActiveX stuff (though this does not touch the *x world..)
[09:48] <swatF1RESTORM> i need networking help... where is the best place to go?
[09:48] <linxeh> Azzkikr: even xubuntu needs a lot of ram :/
[09:48] <trelous> Ya Xubuntu works great I installed it on a computer thats similar to what you have and it works like a champ.
[09:49] <Luxurious> Hiya folks!
[09:49] <kazol> gdb: I was just concerned since when someone logs onto IRC, I see "n={name!}@{ip}"
[09:49] <thoreauputic> linxeh: not if you use the alternate CD - should run on about 128 MB, maybe less
[09:49] <erUSUL> cbs: http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion
[09:49] <linxeh> thoreauputic: that is a lot of ram
[09:49] <thoreauputic> linxeh: I had Ubuntu running on a P200 64 MB ram, it was slow but usable
[09:49] <erUSUL> cbs: bin2iso may be better suited if you do not have the cue
[09:50] <thoreauputic> linxeh: ran fluxbox and xfce4
[09:50] <dyrne> linxeh: for lower resource system i might recommend vector linux
[09:50] <kishan> hi what is a zombie????
[09:50] <trelous> he said he has 256 ... install needs 128 ... alternative install needs 64 ... will run on 64 but suggested 128
[09:50] <dyrne> linxeh: though ive had blackbox on stripped ubuntu with 16mb ram andd p133
[09:50] <ompaul> window maker makes a good friend on low use systems (wmaker)
[09:50] <kishan> i have netstat and mplayerr running as zombies in my system monitor is there something wrong to worry about
[09:51] <thoreauputic> kishan: it's a process that has stopped using resources - its parent process probably forgot to clean up
[09:51] <darwin> Does VMware run Mactels?
[09:51] <ompaul> sorry s/use/spec/
[09:51] <thoreauputic> kishan: don't worry - zombies are harmless
[09:51] <thoreauputic> L(
[09:51] <thoreauputic> :)
[09:51] <kazol> How come IRC displays "n={name!}@{ip}" when someone joins? Are you sure that won't happen during web browsing in Firefox?
[09:51] <kishan> thoreauputic: thanks the names zombies souds like a gost i thought something like trojan in windows lol
[09:52] <thoreauputic> kazol: of course it won't - that name is in your client's config
[09:52] <bobmartin> i have 386 or whatever it is on this machine.  Its just an old machine as i dont want to mess with my development machine or my sabayon laptop just yet
[09:52] <kazol> good.
[09:52] <thoreauputic> kazol: your IP will be logged though
[09:52] <dyrne>  /whois kazol
[09:52] <DanaG> Oh hey, is it possible to make Firestarter choose one of {eth0,eth1} as external, rather than having to change it manually?
[09:52] <thoreauputic> kishan: nah, zombies are harmless and use no resources except an entry in the process table :)
[09:53] <godtvisken> With which program can I record video from my webcam? Like to make a "vcast" or so?
[09:53] <bbrazil> thoreauputic: unless they overrun the process table
[09:53] <thoreauputic> bbrazil: well, yeah
[09:53] <PurpZeY> godtvisken: Search the repositories for Camorama
[09:53] <bbrazil> thoreauputic: or there's things running that take O(n) time in the number of processes
[09:53] <DanaG> Zombies are child processes that stick around until the parent checks if they're still alive.
[09:53] <DanaG> Kind of like Schroedinger's cat.
[09:54] <godtvisken> PurpZeY: I get an error with camorama, "could not connect to device /dev/video0"
[09:54] <cholera> stefg: didn't work, this has been this way since I started using linux, to be honest, I'm tired of foolin with it, Thanks for your help
[09:54] <thoreauputic> bbrazil: that wen't whoosh over my head :)
[09:54] <PurpZeY> godtvisken: did you mount the webcam?
[09:54] <godtvisken> PurpZeY: but it works in ekiga
[09:54] <kazol> Is there a way to get the GPU load from a nVidia GeForce 400 MX?
[09:54] <godtvisken> PurpZeY: what do you mean?
[09:54] <thoreauputic> umm went ( apostrophe accident)
[09:54] <DShepherd> godtvisken, i have the same problem!!!! PurpZeY
[09:54] <PurpZeY> godtvisken: Does Ubuntu recognize the cam as a device?
[09:54] <nox-Hand> how would I uninstall mySQL with ALL CONFIGS from cli?
[09:55] <DShepherd> PurpZeY, it doesnt here.. well i am not sure what you mean.. but i dont think so
[09:55] <godtvisken> PurpZeY: how do i check that?
[09:55] <thoreauputic> nox-Hand: sudo aptitude purge <packages>
[09:55] <nox-Hand> thoreauputic: thanks
[09:55] <dyrne> nox-Hand: the --purge option.  i think syntax is apt-get remove --purge packagename
[09:55] <darwin> Does VMware run Mactels?
[09:55] <linxeh> Zombies do waste space in the process table, and depending on how many and how often they are created may cause the system to become unusable just the same
[09:56] <linxeh> oh we had that one
[09:56] <linxeh> heh
[09:56] <PurpZeY> Dsheperd: I believe modprobe -c should do it....And then look for USB cam....Let me make sure.
[09:56] <Ryiel> !lirc
[09:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about lirc - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:56] <thehumanerror> IPSec and Ubuntu?
[09:56] <thehumanerror> Linux has native IPSec doesn't it?
[09:56] <zbrown> thehumanerror: yup
[09:56] <thoreauputic> darwin: umm, a mactel is hardware, right? You mean will vmware run the OS ? Probably, I don't know
[09:56] <DShepherd> PurpZeY, godtvisken ok.. i will try that..
[09:57] <thehumanerror> I just wondered what the Ubuntu way of driving it was, and why it's hard to find out how to do it on the 'Net
[09:57] <thehumanerror> I mean, the Web
[09:57] <thehumanerror> :)
[09:57] <someon> who should I talk to about my keyboard and mousepad on my laptop freezing when I suspend?
[09:57] <blue|palm> Hi, can anybody reccomend a docker similar to ObjectDock for windows and Mac OS x's docker, instead for linux?
[09:57] <blue|palm> on ubuntu of course - using gnome and on feisty
[09:57] <Gerro> someon: suspend?
[09:57] <PurpZeY> someon: Some laptops are iffy with suspend.
[09:58] <zbrown> thehumanerror: ummm vpn is an ugly ordeal on linux in my opinion. lots of options, lots of ways to solve the problem. kvpnc seems the most capable
[09:58] <Gerro> someon: interesting i never tried that option on my laptop, wonder if it does the same
[09:58] <thehumanerror> kvpnc, thanks
[09:58] <zbrown> thehumanerror: there's openswan, strongswan, openvpn, racoon and lots of other stuff for dealing with VPN
[09:58] <sdac> hi,  i know this is not the correct room.. i am new to IRC... can someone please tell me if there is an IRC room where one can ask about audio and connecting 4.1 speakers to laptops ?
[09:58] <zbrown> those are all the back ends though
[09:58] <someon> is there a script I can dl or make somehow that will disable and reinable these components?
[09:58] <orbisvicis> is there a python help channel ?
[09:58] <thehumanerror> yeah, it sucks that about free software... and none of it will work first time or with each other :)
[09:58] <someon> It seems to be completely random
[09:58] <ulisse> 'lo people
[09:58] <PurpZeY> Gerro: From what I've gleaned, and only being in the channel and listening...Many different makes and models react differently. Some people seem to have it work perfectly. Some people it affects sound and WiFi.
[09:58] <Gerro> sdac: yeah this room?
[09:59] <dyrne> orbisvicis: /join #python
[09:59] <thehumanerror> yeah, I read about the backends, but apparently Linux has native IPSec so I'd rather use that
[09:59] <zbrown> thehumanerror: eh its just a matter of reading the documentation. The issue is really that no one can agree on the best way to do VPN, not so much that any solution sucks.
[09:59] <someon> it usually works, only sometimes it doesn't
[09:59] <Gerro> PurpZeY: what does?
[09:59] <sdac> Gerro:  i can ask in this room :/ ?
[09:59] <PurpZeY> Gerro: Suspend....
[09:59] <zbrown> thehumanerror: well in a sense, depends on what you mean by 'native'
[09:59] <thoreauputic> sdac: ask and see if anyone knows about it
[09:59] <ulisse> I can't boot anymore a pc, I get "kernel panic: attempted to kill init" even with the live CD, any hint?
[09:59] <Gerro> sdac: who are you?
[09:59] <aunes2> I want to search the contents of each file in a directory for a string. I then need to tell me the filename it is in (and preferably the line number). Which linux tool can accomplish this?
[09:59] <thehumanerror> well, according to the Wikipedia IPSec article, there is an implementation that's been in since 2.6 and it's known as "native" as well as being, well, native
[10:00] <Gerro> sdac: oh yeah you use ubuntu OS?
[10:00] <PepperBob> aunes, grep will i guess
[10:00] <PurpZeY> aunes2: I think grep
[10:00] <DShepherd> PurpZeY, doesnt seem to be what godtvisken and i want.. any other ideas..
[10:00] <Gerro> sdac: most likely an alsa problem, mixer settings are incorrect, or the clockrate and buffer configuration are off
[10:01] <PurpZeY> Dshepherd: The modprobe is just to see if Ubuntu recognizes the cam. Once you've established that, then you can tweak the software end.
[10:01] <aunes2> PurpZeY, PepperBob.. I know it will tell me that it is there.. but how can I get it to tell me the filename?
[10:01] <Gerro> PurpZey: I gots a uvcvideo cam, and it works with modprobe
[10:01] <PepperBob> aunes2, there's parameters which will tell you the name...
[10:01] <DShepherd> PurpZeY, if ekiga is running.. does that mean ubuntu recognizes the cam..
[10:01] <PepperBob> aunes2, -H or --with-filename
[10:02] <sdac> ok i have Creative Inspire M4500 4.1...  it has two 3.5 connectors coming out of it 1 is green & 1 black.  When i connect the green to laptop sound only comes from 2 right speakers+swoofer... if connect black its the 2 left speakers.  is it possible to connect all 4 speakers to laptop (even if no surround sound) ?
[10:02] <DShepherd> PurpZeY, its a usb camera.. and its  using the uvcvideo driver.. and when loaded dmesg tells me camera detected..
[10:02] <VictorE> aunes: grep -l maybe
[10:02] <Gerro> ih
[10:02] <aunes2> PepperBob, ooh. hotness!
[10:02] <ompaul> DShepherd, ekiga is also an audio tool so it does not tell you that explicitly
[10:02] <sdac> i don't know if this is something obvious but i posted this question all over and got no replies...
[10:02] <PepperBob> aunes2, btw: if you have gzip packed files you can use zgrep to search those.
[10:03] <DShepherd> ompaul, ok.. so how can i found that info out then?
[10:03] <DShepherd> PurpZeY, dont give up on me now just yet .. ;-)
[10:03] <CerebroJD> Anyone have experience with Feisty seeing wireless networks but being unable to connect to them.  Dell Inspiron 6400 with the wireless mini-card
[10:03] <PepperBob> CerebroJD, i had that problem.
[10:03] <PurpZeY> DSheperd: I am not giving up, I'll tell you up front my knowledge is limited to what I've encountered...What is the specific problem?
[10:03] <PepperBob> CerebroJD, better my bro ;)
[10:03] <ompaul> DShepherd, no idea don't have a web cam but if you want I will get the video camera factoid for you
[10:03] <tannerld> how can I get around this: mv: cannot overwrite directory `/var/www/tssoftware.net/wp-admin'
[10:04] <CerebroJD> PepperBob, end up fixing it?
[10:04] <Gerro> PurpZey: the segmentation fault error when I try to do anything with my cam is annoying
[10:04] <ompaul> DShepherd, here you go: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras
[10:04] <chosig> tannerld: sudo rm /var/...
[10:04] <cholera> stefg: I think I fixed the problem
[10:04] <DShepherd> ompaul, ok. i will give that a looksee again.. maybe i missed something.. I will be back PurpZeY
[10:04] <PurpZeY> Gerro: I have no idea how to approach such a problem.
[10:05] <stefg> cholera: so what was it?
[10:05] <PepperBob> CerebroJD, well, i fiddled around with it and had it working sporadicly (with NDIS wrapper) - so it worked every 5th try or so. In the end he switched to Windoze :/
[10:05] <kennnethaar> Hi
[10:05] <PepperBob> CerebroJD, I guess not what you wanted to hear... sry
[10:05] <CerebroJD> :-/
[10:05] <cholera> stefg: I unistalled totem-xine and installed totem-gstreamer. Removed the plugins for vlc and it seems to work now?
[10:05] <CerebroJD> thats not good
[10:06] <CerebroJD> I'm tryin to switch from windows to linux, not the other way around lol
[10:06] <DShepherd> ompaul, is ekiga that kool? :-D
[10:06] <albert> which tool do i need to record the stereomix output?
[10:06] <PepperBob> CerebroJD,  well wireless can really be a pain in the ass.
[10:06] <DShepherd> ompaul, i am just teasing,. ignore me for now
[10:06] <stefg> cholera: hmmm.... that's what i menat when i said uninstall all other ... less is more
[10:07] <ompaul> DShepherd, it works with audio (can be interesting getting it working on say dapper) don't know what it is like on feisty
[10:07] <DShepherd> ompaul, ok kool
[10:07] <cholera> stefg: I really would like to use the mplayer plugin, but the install says that totem works now in feisty and to use it?
[10:07] <kennnethaar> Hi. I tried to install compiz and xgl on an old aopen box with and older nvidiacard. Only get a blank screen with the default ubuntu wallpaper in the background. I wondered if there is a easier way than reinstalling to fix this problem.
[10:07] <sdac> Gerro: yes running fiesty
[10:08] <ompaul> kennnethaar, go to #ubuntu-effects the experts in that field are there
[10:08] <stefg> cholera: my personal experience that mozilla-mplayer is the most compatible of all options
[10:08] <kennnethaar> ompaul: thanx! :-)
[10:09] <swatF1RESTORM>  http://www.pastebin.ca/500902 anyone?
[10:09] <cholera> stefg: okay, I think for now I will leave it alone :) Thanks again for your help
[10:09] <fuzzy_logic> hello people
[10:09] <fuzzy_logic> does anyone know how i can make my own web third-party repositories?
[10:09] <fuzzy_logic> if you understand what i mean :)
[10:10] <PurpZeY> fuzzy_logic: I believe I do, it's in a book I just bought, so if no one else knows I can tell you but only from what it says.
[10:10] <gnomefreak> fuzzy_logic: theres a wiki try asking in #ubuntu-motu

[10:10] <ubotu> fuzzy_logic  look for a package called falcon: Seveas has a popular 3rd party repository for several packages. More info (and mirrors) on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[10:10] <swatF1RESTORM> what's with not being able to disable wireless in feisty?
[10:10] <faemir> acn someone tell me why a program i am trying to compile keeps saying that libdvdcss isn't installed, though it is?
[10:11] <jrib> faemir: do you have the -dev packages?
[10:11] <PepperBob> faemir, probably you need dev packages with libs in it
[10:11] <faemir> ah.
[10:11] <faemir> xD
[10:11] <Seveas> !info falcon | IdleOne :p
[10:11] <ubotu> idleone :p: Package falcon does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas

[10:12] <faemir> will that do?
[10:12] <Almindor> hey guys
[10:12] <tashe> can someone help me with configuring my internet settings in Ubuntu 7.04???
[10:12] <jrib> !info falcon edgy-seveas | IdleOne

[10:12] <Almindor> I wanted to try sun's java 6 but now I can't get the binaries and $JAVA_HOME right, even tried reinstalling the sun-java5 packages back
[10:13] <Almindor> the thing is installed, but the symlinks point to the "you need to install" dummies and JAVA_HOME isn't set
[10:13] <PepperBob> faemir, well, according the show output - seems to be what you'll need.
[10:13] <mIgUeL_sAn> how to set a virtual host, thanks in advance
[10:13] <IdleOne> jrib, I thought Seveas had ported to most of his packages to feisty also
[10:13] <faemir> PepperBob: ty :D
[10:13] <Almindor> any ideas?
[10:13] <jrib> Almindor: java6 is pacakged in feisty
[10:13] <tashe> can someone help me with configuring my internet settings in Ubuntu 7.04???
[10:13] <Seveas> IdleOne, not falcon though

[10:14] <BigToe> !samba
[10:14] <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

[10:14] <mIgUeL_sAn> how to set a virtual host, thanks in advance
[10:14] <illogic-al> does anyone here - with a macbook pro - notice that less cores are detected by feisty
[10:15] <fuzzy_logic> anyone know answer to my question about the repositories? still haven't figured out how that works..
[10:15] <andrea> C' un italiano
[10:15] <BigToe> !apache
[10:15] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[10:15] <faemir> pepper: vive - it's basically a frontend to ffmpeg i believe xD
[10:15] <illogic-al> edgy detected 2 cores on my  MBP but feisty only shows one...
[10:15] <illogic-al> is there a fix for that?
[10:15] <faemir> but it has convenient ipod presets, and i cba to make a script

[10:15] <faemir> roaet: filezilla server?
[10:16] <andrea> ok grazie
[10:16] <Almindor> jrib, thanks, as a suggestion, they should make a required "read this" on the deb, or run this script automagically
[10:16] <roaet> filezilla works for ubuntu?
[10:16] <makki> how can i enabel autologin?
[10:16] <fuzzy_logic> PurpZeY: i could not find anything about it in the wiki..

[10:16] <orbisvicis> how to i touch to give normal user read/write permissions ?
[10:17] <PurpZeY> fuzzy_logic: I do not know.
[10:17] <jrib> Almindor: it's /usr/share/doc/PACKAGE_NAME/README.Debian :)
[10:17] <Almindor> jrib, it wouldn't be problem if they didn't delete the old jvm symlinks
[10:17] <Almindor> jrib, eg: I know how to use multiple java's by hand, but I didn't expect my old binary symlinks to poof :)
[10:17] <jrib> Almindor: ah i see
[10:18] <makki> how can i enabel autologin?
[10:18] <jrib> makki: system > administration > login window
[10:18] <makki> i try
[10:19] <PurpZeY> Fuzzy_Logic: I am going to basically copy the commands out of this book. I have no idea how they work, so, I can't really help beyond that, k

[10:19] <gfxstyler> hi
[10:19] <fuzzy_logic> PurpZeY: ok thank you!

[10:21] <skyty> hi i have just installed phpmyadmin and it doesnt appear in localhost? may somebody help?
[10:21] <ompaul> DShepherd, it appears most of the cameras on planet earth were coded by one guy a French Doctor see if you can find his code and see what needs matching and file a bug
[10:22] <makki> how can i show language switcher in system tray?
[10:22] <fbarcenas> So show should I assume that an FLV recorder does not exist?
[10:22] <PepperBob> skyty, did you install this using apt (or synaptic ...) - from the repos?
[10:23] <timposey> Everything I print from every program now puts a blank page between every printed page, Where are these pages coming from, anyone have any ideas?
[10:23] <skyty> using apt
[10:23] <roaet> faemir: and you can add a user without it having to be restarted?
[10:23] <faemir> roaet: don't have a ****ing clue mate, sorry.
[10:23] <roaet> it's ok. ^_^
[10:23] <roaet> thanks.
[10:24] <faemir> i was just relieved that i didn't have to use gftp or other stuff
[10:24] <DShepherd> ompaul, ok.. i think i know which french guy it is.. but the question is.. why is ekiga so smart and the others not...?
[10:24] <dawn_chorus> !blacklist
[10:24] <ompaul> DShepherd, no idea better code they had someone do the been there done that gig
[10:24] <DShepherd> ompaul, http://mxhaard.free.fr/ -- that's his website right?
[10:24] <ubotu> To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add  blacklist <modulename>  to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type  sudo update-initramfs -u 
[10:25] <PepperBob> skyty, i guess it's not installed in you htdocs is it?
[10:25] <ompaul> DShepherd, looks like it
[10:25] <dbrewer_rjr> i can't seem to get vnc running on feisty
[10:26] <PepperBob> skyty,  not quite sure how to solve this, but you can setup a virtual host in apache pointing to the directory. or you link it
[10:26] <skyty> yeah, i think its like this..it is not in htdocs
[10:26] <Tarkus> where can i learn more about "sessions" in linux, i dont really understand what they are and what "Save this session" does.. etc..

[10:26] <BigToe> I'm having trouble setting up SWAT on Ubuntu Server...
[10:27] <Flannel> skyty: go read the documentation (usr/share/phpmyadmin)  it ought to say how to set it up
[10:27] <dbrewer_rjr> does anyone have vnc running on feisty server?
[10:27] <dawn_chorus> so if lsmod ouputs that a module is used by 0, it's probably safe to blacklist it, eh?
[10:28] <BigToe> I'm having trouble setting up SWAT on Ubuntu Server... I can't get to http://localhost:901/
[10:28] <orbisvicis> does anyone know what this make error means: ~/Desktop/copy/missing: line 46: makeinfo: command not found

Shortly after this, my system freezes and a lamp on my ibm t40 blinks (a "A" in a house). I couldn't find any solution on forums or bugtracker. Does anyone have info on this?
[10:33] <dawn_chorus> well, these 0 use modules are getting blacklisted, and that's it!

[10:34] <thoreauputic> xjust1nx: so say what youwant to do - if you want extra themes you can look at gnome-look.org or install gnome-themes-extras
[10:34] <PepperBob> skyty, try symlinking. should work fine.
[10:35] <thoreauputic> xjust1nx: check that package name - it's close but maybe not exact

[10:48] <RainCT> Hi
[10:48] <erUSUL> !sound | sergioA
[10:48] <ubotu> sergioA: 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

[10:50] <sergioA> no the problem is not about mp3
[10:50] <ThePhantom> Excuse me, I have a problem with my bluetooth dongle in ubuntu 7.04. When I put the dongle in usb port, I read in hall terminal a flood of this error message: hci_scodata_packet: hci0 packet unknown connection handle 92.
[10:50] <RainCT> is there some way to improve firefox's perfomance? because it's really bad... if I've over 5 tabs open and 2 or 3 of them are loading it gets really slow and more than on time it hangs up and I've to kill it, also some times pages remain white and I've to restart it in order to get it working again
[10:50] <SlimeyPete> RainCT: are you on a very old machine?
[10:50] <PurpZeY> swatFIRESTORM: I probably can't help you, I am just curious, what happens when you try to connect at work? is it wifi there too?
[10:51] <RainCT> SlimeyPete: no, 2.30Ghz processor and 495.5GB memory. and some months ago it was working perfect
[10:51] <dawn_chorus> is there a way to find which modules are safe to blacklist?  what modules aren't ever used?
[10:51] <sergioA> the problem is that I play songs and they sound only when I conect some headphones it seems that speakers don't produce anysound
[10:51] <SlimeyPete> RainCT: ick... something's really up, then. You shouldn't have to tweak FF on that kind of system.
[10:51] <swatF1RESTORM> PurpZeY: yes there is also wifi at work, however i need access to data on the LAN as well.
[10:52] <Corbin|Tuxing> hello i cant get my DVD_RW ND-2500A to burn Data DVDs

[10:52] <ubuntu> Dapper
[10:53] <IronMaiden> sudo mount -a
[10:53] <SlimeyPete> RainCT: I don't think you really can, to be honest. If you poke about in about::config you might be able to find something, I guess.
[10:53] <ubuntu> and what else?
[10:53] <erUSUL> ubuntu: mount -t ext3 /dev/xxxx /mount/point
[10:53] <PepperBob> ubuntu, man mount ;)

[10:54] <ubuntu> ok
[10:54] <SlimeyPete> sergioA: run alsamixer, and check that your front speaker channel isn't muted ("MM" below the bar means it's muted)

[10:55] <ubuntu> sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda5 /mount/point
[10:55] <swatF1RESTORM> PurpZeY: I can but it's not on the same network.
[10:55] <PepperBob> ubuntu, nice.
[10:56] <dawn_chorus> so does every init script in /etc/init.d/ get ran upon boot?
[10:56] <SlimeyPete> wam: I think Ubuntu only releases new kernel packages when there's a new release. You can find changelogs for the kernels at kernel.org
[10:56] <ubuntu> mount: mount point /mount/point does not exist
[10:56] <PepperBob> dawn_chorus, depends on how it is setup
[10:56] <PepperBob> ubuntu, as i said
[10:56] <wam> SlimeyPete: The kernel is ok - it's about a bug in ubuntus kernel.
[10:56] <PepperBob> ubuntu, /mount/point must exist
[10:56] <ubuntu> what?
[10:56] <ubuntu> mkdir?
[10:57] <ThePhantom> Excuse me, I have a problem with my bluetooth dongle in ubuntu 7.04. When I put the dongle in usb port, I read in hall terminal a flood of this error message: hci_scodata_packet: hci0 packet unknown connection handle 92.
[10:57] <PepperBob> ubuntu, yes or take an existing mount point (see /mnt/*)
[10:57] <PurpZeY> swatFIRESTORM: So wifi works at both locales, but you need access data at work, via wifi or using cables? I am confused..I mean, the only thing is, if I understand your problem, if I have a similar one in the future I might be able to solve it...There is some limited chance I can help...but, I reiterate it is limited.
[10:57] <dawn_chorus> PepperBob, is there a config file I can inspect to see which are being told to init?
[10:57] <Corbin|Tuxing> hello i cant get my DVD_RW ND-2500A to burn Data DVDs
[10:57] <PurpZeY> Corbin|Tuxing: Did you check the forums?
[10:57] <RainCT> SlimeyPete: ok thanks
[10:57] <dawn_chorus> Corbin|Tuxing, what's the exact error it gives you?  recreate the error and copy and paste it.
[10:58] <swatF1RESTORM> PurpZeY: correct. wifi works at both locales and i need access to data at work using cables.
[10:58] <__mikem> Can the freenode staff really censor your part message
[10:58] <PurpZeY> swatFIRESTORM: Network manager is not working?
[10:58] <ubuntu> what  I am trying is not working,

[10:59] <PepperBob> whoops

[11:02] <PepperBob> dawn_chorus, splash suxx imho ;)
[11:02] <swatF1RESTORM> PurpZeY: i'll keep my fingers crossed
[11:02] <taime1> my laptop will not show up on the network here at work... it has in the past tho... is there someway to check to see if my settings are screwy?

[11:03] <Tantalus> Still new to ubuntu. Just installed Bastille in Feisty. Any caveats or problems with running Bastille in Feisty?
[11:03] <ubuntu11> i have the other harddirve
[11:03] <ThePhantom> Excuse me, I have a problem with my bluetooth dongle in ubuntu 7.04. When I put the dongle in usb port, I read in hall terminal a flood of this error message: hci_scodata_packet: hci0 packet unknown connection handle 92.
[11:03] <swatF1RESTORM> PurpZeY: static on LAN
[11:03] <ubuntu11> and it have damage
[11:03] <LuisGMarine> how come after I installed Ubuntu I can't install windows anymore?
[11:03] <PurpZeY> swatFIRESTORM: I believe that is the issue. Let me just read this so I can get you the fix.
[11:04] <ubuntu11> power was down and it has been damage .. i didn't install ubuntu but i use live CD
[11:04] <igmyzt> Anyone know if beryl has a top/bottom desk area preference?
[11:04] <PurpZeY> igmyzt: #ubuntu-effects
[11:04] <smacky> does any one convert movie's to iso ?
[11:04] <PepperBob> smacky, iso is a container format... you can't convert it to an iso  you can just "put it into"
[11:05] <PepperBob> ubuntu11, so?
[11:05] <saleh> hello guys...
[11:05] <ubuntu11> how i can at least scan my disk with ubuntu
[11:05] <PurpZeY> swatFIRESTORM: NetworkManager works only with DHCP-assigned addresses. If you *must* have a static IP, work with your DGCP admin to get a unique DHCP res. or use System --> Ad. --> Networking
[11:05] <smacky> like ....mkiso movie.mpg ???
[11:05] <ubuntu11> i mount the harddisk ..
[11:05] <ror> I think what the guy meant was how to convert movies to VCD/SVCD format
[11:05] <eamonn> smacky, I use DeVeDe for that. It's in the repositories.
[11:05] <ubuntu11> I Use Ntfs
[11:06] <ror> otherwise you just get the disk with a movie on it that can't be played by a DVD player
[11:06] <__mikem> ubuntu11, boot into recovery mode, you unmount your root filesystem then you run fsck on your root file system
[11:06] <saleh> i just was trying to install "compiz" but it doesn't work... my desktop also got missed up...
[11:06] <saleh> anyone think that can help me???
[11:06] <dawn_chorus> is there an rc-update like program for Ubuntu?
[11:06] <__mikem> saleh, what kind of video card do you have
[11:06] <PepperBob> ubuntu11, oh.. i thought you could try running  fsck on that harddrive but as it is formatted with ntfs you probably should use some windows program
[11:06] <PurpZeY> saleh: compiz is standard on fiesty, I believe. I just turn on Desktop Effects.
[11:06] <thoreauputic> dawn_chorus: update-rc.d
[11:06] <ward__> treeview_moc.cpp:13:34: error: private/qucomextra_p.h: No such file or directory
[11:06] <ward__> any ideas?
[11:06] <smacky> where can i get that from bro
[11:06] <PepperBob> dawn_chorus, rc.update
[11:06] <swatF1RESTORM> PurpZeY: sytem _. admin -> Networking is NetworkManger?
[11:06] <eamonn> smacky, that'll take an *.AVI or mpeg file and convert it into an ISO that can be burned to a DVD disk.
[11:07] <saleh> _mikem : i got ATM
[11:07] <__mikem> PurpZey Desktop effects is not the same as compiz, its an extention of metacity thats highly experimental
[11:07] <Corbin|Tuxing> hello i cant get my DVD_RW ND-2500A to burn Data DVDs
[11:07] <PepperBob> dawn_chorus, sorry: update-rc.d
[11:07] <eamonn> smacky, sudo apt-get install devede
[11:07] <__mikem> saleh, you mean ati?
[11:07] <saleh> heheh... yeah
[11:07] <saleh> ATI
[11:07] <__mikem> saleh, first did you install the ati drivers
[11:07] <ubuntu11> do you mean i can't fix it ?
[11:08] <dawn_chorus> thoreauputic, PepperBob I'm not finding that package with a apt-cache search.  ?
[11:08] <PurpZeY> swatFIRESTORM: System --> Ad. --> Network....Then you can specify the info under the wired connection...I believe.
[11:08] <saleh> hey, i did just followd instruction from the net
[11:08] <PepperBob> dawn_chorus, which package?
[11:08] <thoreauputic> dawn_chorus: it's a command
[11:08] <PepperBob> dawn_chorus, should be installed
[11:08] <dawn_chorus> PepperBob, update-rc.d
[11:08] <anthony_> why is firefox slower in linux ?
[11:08] <saleh> the thing that make everything missed up i think is this on: 7. Start gconf-editor and go to "apps/compiz/general/all screens/options", and adjust "plugins" in the following order:
[11:08] <saleh> Code:
[11:08] <taime1> i appear to be hidden on the network... is there a way to see whats going on? my shared folders do not even appear to the other windows and linux machines on this network...
[11:08] <__mikem> saleh, can you give me a link to those instructions
[11:08] <dawn_chorus> ah, there we are.  :)
[11:08] <thoreauputic> dawn_chorus: use sudo with it
[11:09] <smacky> ear i have it converted to a mpg i need the command to convert to a iso pllz
[11:09] <PurpZeY> __mikem: Is there a significant difference b/w compiz and desktop effects?
[11:09] <saleh> this is the link: V
[11:09] <PepperBob> ubuntu11, not sure if fsck supports ntfs as it says "linux file system" in the man page
[11:09] <saleh> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=739758
[11:09] <PurpZeY> __mikem: I got the impression in #ubuntu-effects there wasn't much
[11:09] <erUSUL> smacky: you mean make a vcd from it?
[11:09] <__mikem> PurpZeY yes, compiz is stable
[11:09] <saleh> i just couldn't do number "7"
[11:09] <PurpZeY> __mikem: But in terms of functionality?
[11:09] <__mikem> PurpZeY, if you want effects, you should just use beryl, can do a lot more than desktop affects
[11:09] <mc44> PurpZeY: desktop effects *is* compiz, in feisty
[11:10] <__mikem> mc44, no, compiz is a window manager, desktop effects is an extention of metacity
[11:10] <Crane_> You can use either in feisty. Compiz or Beryl
[11:10] <mc44> __mikem: no, its compiz
[11:10] <smacky> no i made it into a mpg file usin tido
[11:10] <saleh> like what u mean?
[11:10] <PurpZeY> __mikem: I had been considering it, but I am just getting into all this, I am not a total, but I still moderately limited...I was concerned that when I went to install beryl I'd run into a host of problems.
[11:10] <crdlb> __mikem: he's right
[11:10] <swatF1RESTORM> PurpZeY: Sorry if I was unclear. I have specified the static IP, Subnet Mask, and Gateway under the Wired connection but still cannot connect to anything when using that location.
[11:10] <erUSUL> smacky: if you want to burn the file in a cd just use gnomebaker
[11:11] <oldude67_> how do i switch to kubuntu from ubuntu?
[11:11] <smacky> right but when i burn it it made it a root file a the cd
[11:11] <erUSUL> oldude67_: 'sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop'
[11:11] <PurpZeY> swatFIRESTORM: Sounds like you have a moderate modicum of knowledge w/ networking stuff, beyond what I told you I don't know much else.
[11:11] <speaker219> anyone know how to COMPLETELY remove beryl?
[11:11] <saleh> _mikem : now what can i do?
[11:11] <ubuntu11> do you mean i can't fix my system with this ?
[11:11] <__mikem> saleh, just go find some binary drivers for your ati card and install them, I use nvidia so I don know what the drivers are called, if things still don work, then come back in
[11:12] <Crane_> swatF1RESTORM: can you ping your network but not outside it
[11:12] <Chousuke> oldude67_: erUSUL means ubuntu-desktio
[11:12] <erUSUL> oldude67_: the tricky part is getting rid of gnome
[11:12] <igor47> does anyone know how i can get an unantialiased font to display inside gnome-terminal?
[11:12] <Chousuke> desktop*
[11:12] <Chousuke> er, wait
[11:12] <PepperBob> smacky, you can "burn" it as iso file can't you?
[11:12] <Chousuke> No, I misread ;(
[11:12] <Crane_> swatF1RESTORM: is there more that on computer on network
[11:12] <shane634> !envy
[11:12] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about envy - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:12] <igor47> in particular, i'd like the miscfixed font from xterm, but i can't get it to show up in the font list
[11:12] <PurpZeY> Is a beryl install usually seamless? I hear it's somewhat unstable.
[11:12] <smacky> no sir that is what i am tryin to make it a ISO file
[11:13] <PepperBob> smacky, have you "mkisofs" installed?
[11:13] <ubuntu11> i hope i can fix it but it's not only hopes i try hard but i really can't i got error meaning there is no system on the drive i can access the files from here i wish i could scan it if there an error but i can't format the drive cuz i have lots of stuff there....
[11:13] <smacky> from mpg to iso
[11:13] <__mikem> PurpZeY, if you have an nvidia card, the install is less painfull than if you have an ati card
[11:13] <ubuntu11> i don't know really what to do ...
[11:13] <smacky> no'
[11:13] <Crane_> PurpZeY: in Feisty is is easy to install, I just don't run it alot so I do not know how stable it is
[11:13] <shane634> !beryl
[11:13] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[11:13] <PepperBob> smacky, then install package cdw or cdw-common
[11:13] <Corbin|Tuxing> dawn_chorus, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21900/
[11:13] <PepperBob> smacky, it's in there
[11:13] <oldude67_> erusul: i would like to keep it to tho...had it before just dont remember how i did it...
[11:14] <LuisGMarine> Can Linux burn .uif files?
[11:14] <PurpZeY> Crane_: Is it "worth it"?
[11:14] <smacky> then i'll be able to convert it to iso ?
[11:14] <r691175002> I have a problem, the screen is slightly blurry (not the fonts).

[11:15] <PurpZeY> Crane_: Nah, none of that...I think I'm going to look into it.

[11:15] <lou247> PurpZeY, look up Xgl+compiz+ati on google.
[11:15] <swatF1RESTORM> Crane_: yes there is more than one computer on my LAN here at work. When I try to perform a ping using the Network Tools nothing happens.

[11:16] <stevefisher> evening folks, i'm struggling like mad trying to get my ubuntu server to share my harddisks on the local network.  I got subversion and mantis set up and i was so happy, now my head hurts.  I have created a folder, chmod'd it to 755 and mounted a drive into it but only the root user can see these files
[11:16] <shane634> rich__, perhaps mencoder can help
[11:16] <PepperBob> ubuntu11, R? i wouldn't boot from that damaged drive imo.
[11:16] <rich__> i tried importing the mp3 in audacity, but i couldnt find an option to resample it
[11:16] <jericho> it's an integrated broadcom... how can i check the model number?
[11:16] <LuisGMarine> Can any application in Linux open .uif files?  They are cd images type thing
[11:16] <shane634> jericho, lspci and look for the wireless card
[11:17] <Crane_> swatF1RESTORM: Make sure your Gateway is set and check that you dns servers are set as well
[11:17] <r691175002> My screen seems shifted half a pixel or so sideways
[11:17] <PepperBob> smacky, s'up so far?
[11:17] <Crane_> gateway is set in /etc/network/interfaces
[11:17] <ubuntu11> PepperBox .. so what you suggest .. reinstall windows will makes me lost my files
[11:17] <nagual> Anyone here is good with gparted? I am trying to create a Ntfs partition on my secundary Hd , but this option in "grey", most of the other options are avaliable
[11:17] <rich__> i have mencoder installed. looking at the manual now.
[11:17] <ubuntu11> wat should i DO ?
[11:17] <PepperBob> ubuntu11, use tab completion for names ;)
[11:18] <Crane_> DNS is /etc/resolve
[11:18] <PepperBob> ubuntu11, connect that disk to a _windows_ pc
[11:18] <PepperBob> ubuntu11, if you have none, go to a friend.
[11:18] <jericho> ok... it's a BCM4306
[11:18] <rich__> any idea of the command??
[11:18] <shane634> jericho, hang on a sec then
[11:19] <Lacrymology> how do I set up a 32bit env in my 64b installation?
[11:19] <ubuntu11> ok , if i connect to windows pc what should i do next ?
[11:19] <Lacrymology> I seem to need setarch, for what I've seen, but I can't find it
[11:19] <PepperBob> ubuntu11, try to find a tool which can repair disks
[11:19] <Tarkus> how do i let someone access/control my computer "Remote Desktop"? (someone outside of my LAN)?
[11:19] <nagual> Anyone good with gparted? I am trying to create a Ntfs partition on my secundary Hd , but this option in "grey", most of the other options are avaliable
[11:19] <rich__> nagual, might be ntfs is read only
[11:20] <ubuntu11> Pepperbob , there is such a tool here in ubuntu ?

[11:20] <mar77i> hi... need some advice installing an orderly (multiply usable) bittorrent client. package installer indicates conflicts with installed "bittorrent" and "bittorrent-gui" packages...
[11:20] <jericho> ok... i'll check that
[11:20] <ubuntu11> hmmm
[11:20] <ubuntu11> ok
[11:20] <PepperBob> ubuntu11, no clue.
[11:20] <swatF1RESTORM> Crane_: all the network settings match what I have on my XP box. I don't see /etc/resolve, only thing close is resolvconf and resolv.conf
[11:21] <ubuntu11> ok , thanks pepperbob .. i have to go bye , see u soon
[11:21] <rich__> the mencoder manual is massive, anyone already know how to resample audio with it??
[11:21] <mar77i> when trying to uninstall package "bittorrent" synaptic wants to uninstall "ubuntu-desktop" too...
[11:21] <PepperBob> ubuntu, bye
[11:21] <ubuntu11> See You ..
[11:21] <Crane_> swatF1RESTORM: Sorry that is the file resolv.conf
[11:21] <rich__> mar77i, i think bittorent is part of the ubuntu-desktop package
[11:22] <Lacrymology> does anyone know how to set up a 32bit enviroment?
[11:22] <SpudDogg> How does one make a Ubuntu user not allow remote logins via SSH?
[11:22] <rich__> i dont think there is any harm ion leaving it installed
[11:22] <Crane_> swatF1RESTORM: if you open it it should have a list of your name servers, you may need to add yours
[11:22] <ubuntu> hello people
[11:22] <ion> hi
[11:23] <PepperBob> ubuntu, wb
[11:23] <shane634> rich__, it is now built in yes bittorent
[11:23] <Crane_> hello
[11:23] <ubuntu> this is so cool
[11:23] <dexomsrc> Can Pureftpd not force TLS on virtual users but make it optional for anonymous logins?
[11:23] <ubuntu> xD
[11:23] <jrib> SpudDogg: did you install sshd?  If not, there won't be a server running
[11:23] <Taime1> why cant my computer be seen on the network?? i even have shared folders that do not appear on the network, but i can see ALL machines both win and unix...o.0
[11:23] <mar77i> rich__: I'd really like to use my "bittorrent" client for several download procedures at once. that does not seem to be possible with the installed ver
[11:24] <Taime1> and their shared flders
[11:24] <Smith-ub> are you using sama Taime1
[11:24] <Taime1> no
[11:24] <rich__> mar77i, azureus is available in the main repository (i think)
[11:24] <Taime1> its set up correctky... it just started doing this today
[11:24] <shane634> mar77i, it should open a terminal for each download by default
[11:24] <Smith-ub> then there is verry little to see
[11:24] <SpudDogg> jrib: this is on a server install.  Right now I can log in to any user...I want only ONE user to be allowed to log in.  If I need root or some other user, I'll use 'su'
[11:24] <PepperBob> Lacrymology, this can be done with a 32bit chroot env... but afaik this is nasty
[11:24] <rich__> azureus is a very good torrent client
[11:24] <jorge__> vai
[11:24] <PepperBob> Lacrymology, probably this link helps: http://process-of-elimination.net/wiki/Ubuntu_32bit_CHROOT_for_AMD64

[11:27] <J03L> Broadcom AirForce 54
[11:27] <swatF1RESTORM> Crane_: If I did, I didn't know that I did....so probably not
[11:27] <shane634> J03L, hang on a second
[11:27] <Taime1> can anyone tell me why my computer is not recognized by the network? i can see all servers and shared folders, but mine cannot be seen at all....

[11:42] <rollerskatejamms> crimsun, Hey, any idea where I might find a list of sound cards that support true hardware pcm multiplexing?
[11:42] <chrisjs169> guess i'll try rephrasing it - how can I use iptables to redirect all http traffic to another port?
[11:42] <heroin> Tarkus: its only a viewer. if u want a server i guees something like vncserver? search 4 it
[11:42] <Sivart0> mi think fiesty comes with the server
[11:42] <crimsun> rollerskatejamms: emu10k1-, cs46xx-, and some limited es1370-based ones do.
[11:43] <rollerskatejamms> crimsun, emu isnt short for emulation?
[11:43] <rollerskatejamms> crimsun, also, sound blasters dont? the newer ones?
[11:43] <crimsun> rollerskatejamms: sorry, meant snd-ens1370
[11:43] <rollerskatejamms> thanks

[11:43] <imbecile> how can i move files around my computer I gksu nautilus and tried to drag and drop to no avail
[11:43] <crimsun> rollerskatejamms: EMU was a trademark for a company bought by Creative Labs
[11:43] <rollerskatejamms> rollerskatejamms, ah
[11:44] <rollerskatejamms> crimsun, Some people have told me turtle beach cards are good. What do you think?
[11:44] <crimsun> rollerskatejamms: EMU chips power the sbawe32, sbawe64, SBLive, SB Audigy, etc.
[11:44] <nuu> jrattner1: i suggest you ask about it in #kubuntu, chances are you'll find more kde users there
[11:44] <rollerskatejamms> cool
[11:44] <crimsun> rollerskatejamms: they're tolerable.
[11:44] <rollerskatejamms> SB Lives are great cards for the $
[11:44] <crimsun> rollerskatejamms: the new SB Lives are utter crap.
[11:44] <jrattner1> nuu, yeh there a little slow though :)
[11:44] <rollerskatejamms> crimsun, thats too bad

[11:45] <imbecile> how can i move files around my computer?? I gksu nautilus and tried to drag and drop to no avail... help please
[11:45] <dyrne> imbecile: what are you trying to do?  launching nautilus with sudo should work
[11:46] <crimsun> rollerskatejamms: don't purchase anything labeled SB Live 7.1, SB Live 24-bit, or X-Fi Extreme Audio
[11:46] <rollerskatejamms> crimsun, ok. btw im sanityx, we had that long conversation about pcm multiplexing a couple of weeks ago
[11:46] <crimsun> rollerskatejamms: they all use the same crippled chipset.
[11:46] <imbecile> dyrne:  i'me trying to drag an image im going to use as a skydome to my filesystem
[11:46] <dyrne> crimsun: so what would you look at for a cheap pci card?
[11:46] <crimsun> dyrne: a cheap pci sound card?
[11:46] <dyrne> crimsun: yeah
[11:47] <crimsun> dyrne: depends on your requirements.  What are they?
[11:47] <amr> hrllo
[11:47] <amr> hello i need help

[11:48] <rollerskatejamms> grr
[11:48] <dyrne> crimsun: nope
[11:48] <rollerskatejamms> so what would you use?
[11:48] <amr> when i tried to install it was succesful except warsaw server
[11:48] <tri3axe> i got a 600MHz P3 with 256mb ram.. i was hoping to use it as a small Web server.. ive seen some install guides for Ubuntu lamp server etc.. are those easy to maintain for a non-linux person? i mean to uppload new/replace webpages etc.. made in frontpage
[11:48] <crimsun> dyrne: just ebay an old SB Live 5.1
[11:48] <crimsun> rollerskatejamms: depends on your requirements.  What are they?
[11:49] <Pelo> amr,  pleae don'T use the enter key as punctuation,   tell us what the problem is
[11:49] <heroin> tri3axe: kinda
[11:49] <dyrne> imbecile: i dont know what youre running into but you might just sudo mv file /wherever   sorry not too familiar with gnome gui
[11:49] <rollerskatejamms> crimsun, That I can have lots and lots of different applications playing sound at once without the pcm multiplexing breaking down.
[11:49] <heroin> tri3axe: its bitchy to setup but once it foes its easy
[11:49] <amr> when i tried to start the game nothing happens
[11:49] <crimsun> rollerskatejamms: same answer I gave dyrne.
[11:49] <amr> but the resolution changed only
[11:50] <Pelo> amr, try and start the game from the terminal and see if any error msg come up
[11:50] <tri3axe> is there another distro or server thats better/easy to setup?
[11:50] <rollerskatejamms> ah sb live 5.1
[11:50] <rollerskatejamms> ok
[11:50] <heroin> tri3axe: well no apache is apache
[11:50] <rollerskatejamms> crimsun, wow like $10
[11:50] <amr> could you please tell me how ?
[11:50] <dyrne> tri3axe: if youre new to linux id just install ubuntu or xubuntu there arent many distros easier to maintain
[11:50] <heroin> tri3axe: i suggest howtoforge.com
[11:50] <dyrne> tri3axe: or just debian
[11:51] <heroin> tri3axe: but its fun to learn howto setup a webserver :D
[11:51] <tri3axe> dyrne i was thinking a server install..on a lowend computer
[11:51] <tri3axe> ill look into it heroin, thanks for link
[11:51] <amr> Pelo i want to know the folder where i can find applications please :)
[11:52] <heroin> tri3axe: do a LAMP install w. ubuntu. Then edit /etc/hosts then edit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf + /etc/apache2/sites-enabled(and aviable/default
[11:52] <Pelo> amr,  usualy /bin or /usr/bin,  but this isnt' like windows,  you donT' need the path to run the app, just type the name in the terminal
[11:53] <tri3axe> thanks.. guess ill go for ubuntu server cd or xubuntu then

[11:54] <andresmujica> Hi. i'm having a truble with amarok, i cannot play some radio streams, but if i use mplayer from command line they play fine. With mplayer they report as Selected audio codec: [ffwmav2]  afm: ffmpeg (DivX audio v2 (FFmpeg).  With amarok it says that there's no audio channel or there's no demux plugin available.  I'm using kubuntu 7.04 with medibuntu repo.  i've aparently already installed restricted codecs, the problem is something with amarok..
[11:54] <amr> Pelo i sent you the error
[11:54] <Pelo> amr, check the game's websie for a FAQ or a Forum or a irc channel where you can get help on this
[11:54] <tri3axe> i know..but i migth need somtime :P ..just to have it there just in case :P
[11:54] <swatF1RESTORM> heroin: wjat
[11:54] <heroin> swatF1RESTORM: ? huh?
[11:54] <Pelo> amr,  yes I saw the eror, this is an issue for the prgram not for ubuntu
[11:55] <swatF1RESTORM> heroin: i got a message from you earlier and I wasn't sure what you were asking me
[11:55] <Pelo> frederic,   /join #ubuntu-fr
[11:55] <heroin> swatF1RESTORM: iam looking at jamesbond so i forgot what u asked
[11:55] <amr> ok could you tell me how to restart GUI only becouse the resolution is now changed
[11:55] <generalj> anyone have some commands to run on nvidia drivers to make sure everything is installed and configured correctly? 3d support etc.
[11:55] <heroin> arm ctrl+alt+delete would log u back out
[11:56] <dyrne> generalj: glxgears is a standard glxinfo and such
[11:56] <crdlb> generalj: glxinfo|grep OpenGL\ version
[11:56] <tri3axe> well..ill bbl and nag you about problems i migth encounter..im sure i will :P
[11:56] <Pelo> I have 4 instances of me running ?  anyway I can get rid of a couple ?
[11:56] <crdlb> should return NVIDIA 96.31 or similar
[11:56] <PepperBob> amr: probably ctrl-alt-backspace
[11:56] <dyrne> generalj: or just install tremulous and shoot some bugs :)
[11:57] <generalj> is nvidia 97.55 the latest drivers for ubuntu?
[11:57] <swatF1RESTORM> heroin: forgive me if I'm unclear in my questions. I'm still trying to get situated in ubuntu... Is there a way, at say boot up, that I can decide which network I want to use. I want to use wifi at home and the LAN at work. Any ideas?
[11:58] <dyrne> generalj: i think thre is a nvidia-glx-latest package you can use instead of nvidia-glx not sure of version
[11:58] <PepperBob> generalj: it the latest in general
[11:58] <stevefisher> can someone tell me how to mount the NTFS drives in my server so that any user can read them, no matter what I do only root can read the contents
[11:58] <Pelo> swatF1RESTORM,  you'd have to check in the logins screen options but I donT, think so
[11:58] <heroin> swatF1RESTORM: well when ur at work u doesnt it auto connect via wifi?
[11:58] <preaction> swatF1RESTORM: the little network manager icon in the top toolbar doesn't work well enough? you can define places and have the network admin show on startup, but that'd require your password
[11:58] <hendaus> hiya
[11:58] <atrus> swatF1RESTORM: network-manager behaves sort of like that by default. it'll try to connect wired when available, but when it's not, only then will it resort to the wireless.
[11:58] <dyrne> stevefisher: /msg ubotu ntfs        basically you need to set the umask for files and directories
[11:59] <Pelo> stevefisher,  you probably have to change the permissions in fstab,  but I wouldnT' know what you need to put in
[11:59] <generalj> the reason I am wondering about my 3d accleration and nvidia drivers is because it seems to work fine but when I move a open window around there is alot of back display and ghosting it is doing that seem to me it is not working right
[11:59] <puntux> i m trying to remove tetex by apt-get remove tetex-base tetex-bin tetex-extra but i still can find tetex related files in various system folders.. how do i remove them completely and will this affect TeXLive that is going to be installed?

[12:00] <swatF1RESTORM> heroin: yes it does auto connect, however at work I want to use the LAN and at home I want to use the wifi.
[12:00] <Pelo> hendaus,  this is kubuntu  you should realy ask in #kubuntu
[12:00] <puntux> heroin Pelo I did --purge  but it said package is not installed
