[12:01] <chump> hi naknak987
[12:01] <zabi1> Thanks
[12:01] <tashe> how come the max sound volume in ubuntu is lower than in XP??
[12:01] <Flannel> hilts50: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization/6.06
[12:01] <naknak987> hello chump
[12:01] <kitche> ladonna: nothing but html files should go into htmldocs or something close to that
[12:01] <hilts50> Flannel: thanks
[12:01] <Flannel> ladonna: Add yourself to the www-data group
[12:02] <PurpZeY> AmirB: I don't think you should necessarily depend on my word, b/c I am just learning too...But it seems to me, if your original install of GTK is still proper, all you'd need to do is have GTK start up instead of this hacked version...So long as your old version is still proper.
[12:02] <tashe> how come the max sound volume in ubuntu is lower than in XP??
[12:02] <ninina_> anyone know how I can change the color of the text for the launcher panel as I'd like to make it transparent but black text on black background is not good
[12:03] <gpm> tashe: try upping the master AND PCM channels
[12:03] <AmirB> PurpZeY: so how do I tell my original GTK to start up instead?
[12:03] <tashe> gpm: whats that?
[12:03] <gpm> tashe: how are you changing the volume right now?
[12:03] <ladonna> Flannel: okay, because I would like to open Quanta (not as root) and browse to the file, edit and save. Right now I have to sudo Quanta Plus in order to make changes
[12:03] <swatF1RESTORM> PurpZeY: step 2 of that guide begins to confuse me :-p
[12:03] <tashe> from the thing next to the clock
[12:03] <gpm> tashe: double click the volume icon then
[12:03] <walkintome> so, i just installed banshee and amarok to try them out, and at about 90% importing my library in banshee, it froze. then i got an error message about not being able ot read my network list (sic). from that point i could not open anything including terminal so i restart. i got the text that said my computer was restarting, but it was in red (never had that happen) and it froze.

[12:04] <gpm> tashe: what do you see?
[12:04] <zero-9376> cdizzle: sorry what does the -glnx86 do, i dont remember
[12:04] <tashe> gpm: cool
[12:04] <tashe> i fixed it
[12:04] <tashe> thanks man
[12:04] <gpm> tashe: np
[12:04] <kitche> walkintome: what your saying is being cut off the last part all we see is now w
[12:04] <PurpZeY> AmirB: I'm not sure, but I imagine someone else who's present would know...but I would think you'd want to verify that the original install is good first.
[12:04] <gpm> tashe: there's also alsamixer in the cli if you ever need it
[12:04] <gpm> tashe: you might need to apt-get install alsa-utils though
[12:04] <zero-9376> cdizzle: not sure if im going to be able to help you out from home, i have it installed at work
[12:04] <AmirB> PurpZeY: ok, thanks
[12:04] <cdizzle> zero-9376, i need it to install the 32-bit binaries cuz i'm running 64 and the student version doesn't have 64-bit binaries.
[12:05] <ladonna> kitche: this is an issue because I can't make changes when I use ssh. I don't have the perms to save the edited file
[12:05] <cdizzle> zero-9376, but mathworks says the 32-bit ones work fine
[12:05] <gnilor> anybody here happen to know where i could find epcam-src-0.7.1.tar.gz ?

[12:05] <walkintome> kitche: thank you for letting  me know lol
[12:05] <karrotx> more to the point; was it a pita? how well does it work?
[12:05] <karrotx> what is your host server?
[12:06] <gpm> gnilor: or install apt-file and man apt-file
[12:06] <walkintome> see above + 'now my library is gone and im worried I messed somethign up.'
[12:06] <gpm> gnilor: or use google if you're not looking for an ubuntu package
[12:06] <gnilor> gpm, it's not an offical file
[12:06] <facundo_> Question: I'm trying to edit the crontab file, but it says it can not open the file...
[12:06] <PurpZeY> swatF1RESTORM: It's only one command, what's the confusion?
[12:06] <AmirB> PurpZeY: ok, I'll ask someone else on the chat, hold on
[12:06] <facundo_> I'm doing "crontab -e"
[12:06] <gpm> gnilor: well then, it's not officially supported....use google like the rest of us

[12:06] <naknak987> I can't figure out how to install enemy territory
[12:06] <gpm> gnilor: what is it? a driver or something?
[12:06] <kitche> walkintome: hmm maybe but I haven't used banshee or amarok sicn I worked on Source Mage so I can't help you really
[12:07] <gnilor> yeah, for some cheap webcam thingie i'm trying
[12:07] <gpm> huh
[12:07] <gpm> sorry, i'm useless
[12:07] <gpm> :-(
[12:07] <Me> ohkay, thanks for the help guys
[12:07] <swatF1RESTORM> PurpZeY: what was the one command? you sent me a link for a guide didn't you?

[12:07] <PurpZeY> swatF1RESTORM: https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html
[12:08] <gpm> gnilor: well...you could try posting to that forum and ask people where they got the driver

[12:09] <cdizzle> zero-9376, well if the problem weren't MATLAB, and you saw that error, what would you think?
[12:09] <foomanchew> anyone here using rhythmbox to listen to itunes music share ?

[12:12] <ncd> just a booboo in ubuntus kernel config ? ... the guy in that thread mentions it not presnet in edgy but fails to mention what kernel ver that was
[12:13] <zero-9376> cdizzle: i understand your frustration but i cant find the post i was talking about and dont have the computer her
[12:13] <kitche> foomanchew: considering what itunes has is not apple's decision but anyways that's offtopic
[12:13] <ashlon> Sh3r1ff: oh ok and then do i do apt-get upgrade Thunderbird?
[12:13] <gpm> gnilor: well, the patches are on that site i gave you, and then patch it against something in the kernel source it looks like
[12:13] <hendrixski> foomanchew, of course.  They're even more proprietary than MS, making their own hardware and wierd connectors that don't work with anything else
[12:13] <spikeb> weird connections like USB?
[12:13] <Sh3r1ff> ashlon: just apt-get upgrade and it will upgrade to the latest version available
[12:13] <hendrixski> foomanchew, and the DRM is equally as bad as Microsofts
[12:13] <naknak987> sh3riff: were do i download them at
[12:13] <cdizzle> zero-9376, it's no problem. I was just curious if you had seen that problem elsewhere. Like I said, I get a feeling that this isn't necessarily a MATLAB-specific problem.
[12:14] <foomanchew> hendrixski, right on... I have a MAC and its cool when its all u use .... but its totally closed
[12:14] <kitche> hendrixski: to bad DRM is not their decision well in their hard ware though it is
[12:14] <yuno> mircosoft is sue happy now
[12:14] <yuno> >>
[12:14] <foomanchew> hendrixski, right on DRM = death
[12:14] <zero-9376> no i think it is specific to the matlab installer

[12:15] <hendrixski> kitche, doesn't matter what the excuse is... it's there.  period.  it's bad

[12:15] <cdizzle> zero-9376, kthx man, i might have a better question to ask now.
[12:15] <zero-9376> cdizzle: i also remember something about having to be in the directory you want to install to when you call the install command
[12:16] <PurpZeY> swatF1RESTORM: So, as long as you don't need the extra multimedia CDs you should be all set.

[12:16] <PurpZeY> swatF1RESTORM: Codecs, not CDs...sorry typo.
[12:16] <siloko> so i do this with rsync, excluding certain directories and files with an exclude file
[12:16] <babo> customer feeback loops ?
[12:17] <PurpZeY> Ernz: It's called beryl.
[12:17] <babo> feedback channels ?
[12:17] <Polygon89> no its not. hes talking about that physics dock
[12:17] <siloko> now i want to exclude this cron job file from the mirror as i don't want to back up to itself if you know what i mean
[12:17] <babo> a communication stream ?
[12:17] <Pollywog> I found my problem, a defective keyboard.  Now that I have to buy a new kb, if I buy a gaming kb, will it work as a regular kb in Linux?  This is a dual boot machine XP/Linux
[12:17] <Trynemjoel> Is there a nice alternative to Notepad++ native to Linux out there, or should i just run it through WINE?
[12:17] <swatF1RESTORM> PurpZeY: ok. i tried viewing the dvd and totem said could not read from resource... so totem can't see my cdrom?
[12:17] <PurpZeY> Polygon89: My mistake.
[12:17] <siloko> so where's the file for root's cron jobs so i can add it to my exclude  . . .
[12:17] <Ernz> PurpZey - Nah, not beryl, i'm talking about the quick launcher app that sits on your desktop and you can drag the icons around and stuff
[12:17] <spikeb> Pollywog: yes, but the extra keys might not work out of the box
[12:17] <cdizzle> Hello all, I'm having a little trouble running a 32-bit binary in 64-bit feisty. The binary in question is an installer for MATLAB. Any ideas?

[12:18] <Pollywog> spikeb: thanks, that would be okay
[12:18] <babo> sales channel ?
[12:18] <zero-9376> cdizzle: if you need to run matlab right now you could use a windows vm, not ideal but if ur in a squeeze
[12:18] <hendrixski> what kinds of rules should I include on my firewall?
[12:18] <siloko> any help appresicated :)
[12:18] <siloko> with typing or whatever . . .
[12:18] <Polygon89> let me find the name real fast
[12:18] <cdizzle> zero-9376, yeah i just use VLC to another computer with it installed right now, but that's far from ideal.
[12:18] <Ernz> PurpZey: Sounds promising. Maybe, I will check it out.
[12:18] <Ernz> swatF1RESTORM, not that, but thanks.
[12:18] <hendrixski> I just installed firestarter to help set up some stuff on IPtables
[12:18] <hendrixski>  because Ubuntu doesn't configure its firewall apparently
[12:19] <diego> I have a HP IPAQ, what I must install?
[12:19] <diego> To let it work.
[12:19] <AmirB> can someone translate the advice on this forum post to newb speak: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2661223&highlight=uninstall#post2661223 ;)
[12:19] <Polygon89> it might be called kiba dock
[12:19] <hendrixski> but I don't know what kinds of things it should be configured to do?
[12:19] <kitche> hendrixski: whatever you want the firewall to allow or disallow if you don't know then don't use firestarter or netfilter
[12:20] <PurpZeY> swatF1RESTORM: Again, I'm not entirely positive, but, I imagine if it says cannot read from resource, it at least recognizes the drive...To mean, it might means that it isn't reading the encryption properly...Just my guess.

[12:25] <AmirB> PurpZeY: yes, the only way to get the applet to work is to hack gtk, because it needs to move the whole menu off of gtk based programs
[12:25] <barbarella_me> kitche:sorry, just get in ;-)
[12:25] <hendrixski> kitche, that's pretty funny
[12:25] <foomanchew> mroc, type lsusb on cmdline
[12:25] <AmirB> PurpZeY: please, what is the command?
[12:26] <foomanchew> mroc, what u get ?
[12:26] <ikonia> diego: no ubuntu product run on the ipaq
[12:26] <insomniac190> I can't get the applications in my launcher to stay in avant after a reboot
[12:26] <hendrixski> ecoleman, kitche how's about the clients? like Ekiga or Skype, those run as services too, right?
[12:26] <mroc> foomanchew: should i copy and paste stuff here?
[12:26] <diego> ikonia, ye but wich pakage I must install?
[12:26] <ecoleman> hendrixski: well, they'll ustilize open ports
[12:26] <kitche> hendrixski: nope services are like servers apache sshd really
[12:26] <ikonia> diego: ubuntu does NOT run on the ipaq
[12:27] <PurpZeY> AmirB: If the person who posted this is correct on the name of the package it'd just be "sudo apt-get install libgtk2" But I do not necessarily understand what you did in the first place, I am just telling you how to do what that post says to do.
[12:27] <mroc> foomanchew:  output
[12:27] <mroc> Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

[12:27] <diego> ikonia, ye I know. I want just Synchronize my IPAQ with my OS Kubuntu
[12:27] <foomanchew> mroc, paste in the seperate message window
[12:28] <ikonia> diego: ooh, I see. Well it requires windows software for that so you may have problems. The best middle ground would be async
[12:28] <AmirB> PurpZeY; but sudo apt-get install llibgtk2 doesn't work ... :(
[12:28] <ladonna> I've added myself to the www-data group logged out an in again. I was able to save changes to files without sudo. I would like to connect with ssh and edit the same files. I connected with ssh sameUser@ip address but I'm unable to save changes. Is this possible with ssh
[12:28] <AmirB> hey, I recently installed the mac menu bar applet by aqd and I had to install a modified version of GTK, but now I want to remove it. On the forum post it says to uninstall it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2661223&highlight=uninstall#post2661223 but I don't know how to do that. can someone help?
[12:28] <mroc> foomanchew:  sorry - new to using irc.   what do you mean exactly?
[12:28] <hendrixski> ecoleman, so setting a rule for that open port would stop someone from doing something malicious through it, right?
[12:28] <yuno> im trying to install ATI drivers but this is what shows up in terminal
[12:28] <yuno> Detected version of X does not have a matching 'x720' directory

[12:28] <PurpZeY> AmirB: What does it return?
[12:29] <ecoleman> go do that :p
[12:29] <Sir-Integra> hey, i seem to have a problem after i've installed ubuntu 5.10 breezy
[12:29] <Sir-Integra> on my acer aspire 5610z laptop
[12:29] <diego> But where is my IPAQ? How I can access in the Filesystem of my IPAQ.
[12:29] <Sir-Integra> X serv won't start.
[12:29] <PriceChild> Sir-Integra, breezy has reached end of life and is no longer supported.
[12:29] <Trynemjoel> foomanchew, it appeared to be alright, by not quite what i was looking for. I quite fancy Notepad++ numbering of lines for example, making it quite easy to find lines in the code if i am modding my site and forum
[12:29] <Sh3r1ff> Sir-Integra: upgrade to 7.04 ;)
[12:29] <ziggy23> Hi I have Gnome desktop installed...I downloaded the entire KDE desktop metapackage using Synaptic.  I now have a mixture of both desktops, but I want Gnome back.  What do I do to fix this?
[12:29] <naknak987> AmirB: try sudo aptitude install llibgtk2
[12:29] <PriceChild> Sir-Integra, I advise you to install dapper or feisty
[12:29] <ikonia> diego: stick in a usb cable and try to mount it
[12:29] <diego> ikonia, Ok
[12:29] <hyperactivecrond> does the powerpc port for ps3 have sound working yet?
[12:30] <Sir-Integra> Sh3r1ff my cdburner is broke, i only have ubuntu 5.10 breezy
[12:30] <AmirB> PurpZeY: that it couldn't find the package. and indeed, if you go into synaptics and search for libgtk2 you get a couple dependant files (like libgtk2.0-common, etc.) and it says that they are all installed for me and don't give me the option to reinstall them
[12:30] <Sir-Integra> PriceChild: dapper?
[12:30] <jon_> Hello
[12:30] <ecoleman> so back to my original question, anyone ever seen 'no screens attached' during install?
[12:30] <diego> ikonia, lsusb: Bus 005 Device 015: ID 03f0:1016 Hewlett-Packard Jornada 548 / iPAQ HW6515 Pocket PC
[12:30] <PriceChild> Sir-Integra, dapper 6.06, or feisty 7.04
[12:30] <Sir-Integra> i'm pretty new to ubuntu, trying to give it a shot.
[12:30] <Sh3r1ff> Sir-Integra: ask someone else to burn it for you ;)
[12:30] <PriceChild> Sir-Integra, you can request feisty cds at shipit.ubuntu.com for free
[12:30] <yuno> Sir-Intergra: you can alway request a free cd
[12:31] <PurpZeY> AmirB: If it couldn't find the package, that means you are not using the right name.
[12:31] <Sir-Integra> PriceChild: takes like 1 month to come
[12:31] <diego> ikonia, how I can find the device in my Filesystem?
[12:31] <jayt> where is the splash screen for gnome is configured from?
[12:31] <AmirB> PurpZeY: exactly, like I said...
[12:31] <PurpZeY> AmirB: Try apt-get search libgtk
[12:31] <ikonia> diego: look in the syslog
[12:31] <vsamel> How can user 'mail' run a script inside the home directory of another user?
[12:31] <diego> ikonia, ok
[12:31] <Sh3r1ff> PurpZeY: apt-cache search ;)
[12:31] <Sir-Integra> i'll download ubuntu and hope my cd burner work
[12:31] <Sir-Integra> s
[12:32] <PriceChild> vsamel, add the user mail to the user's group "user"
[12:32] <PurpZeY> sh3riff: I'm trying...hehe....Have to crawl to walk
[12:32] <yuno> im trying to install ATI drivers but this is what shows up in terminal
[12:32] <Sh3r1ff> PurpZeY: :p
[12:32] <jon_> My graphics seems to act very laggy =( I probably just don't have a driver installed.
[12:32] <yuno> Detected version of X does not have a matching 'x720' directory

[12:32] <PurpZeY> AmirB: My mistake sudo apt-cache search libgtk
[12:32] <yuno> You may override the detected version using the following syntax:
[12:32] <jon_> likewise yuno
[12:32] <yuno>      X_VERSION=<xdir> ./ati-driver-installer-<ver>-<arch>.run [--install] 
[12:32] <kitche> vsamel: but why would you have user mail be able to do that?
[12:32] <foomanchew> mroc, could be many reasons for failure
[12:32] <ikonia> diego: oooh never seen a device work like that
[12:32] <yuno> jon_: like choppiness
[12:33] <diego> ikonia, can I mount ttyUSB0?
[12:33] <foomanchew> mroc, need more info... need to see output from dmesg and know what USB device you plugging in
[12:33] <avega> anyone having problems with ubuntu 7.04 installation?
[12:33] <ikonia> diego: I don't think so
[12:33] <vsamel> PriceChild: Ya i added 'mail' to 'xuser's group in /etc/group . Do i need to restart something? just this doesnt work.
[12:33] <ikonia> diego: I'll need to do a little research
[12:33] <PurpZeY> !ask | avega
[12:33] <ubotu> avega: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:33] <foomanchew> avega, what problems, be more specific
[12:33] <ikonia> avega: just ask the question
[12:33] <jon_> How do you whisper on IRC ><
[12:33] <PriceChild> vsamel, should work if the group is allowed to edit files
[12:33] <PurpZeY> jon_: /msg
[12:33] <PriceChild> jon_, /query user message
[12:33] <diego> ikonia, Ok
[12:33] <PriceChild> jon_, ask first though and you may need to be registered depending who you talk to
[12:33] <majortom_> j
[12:34] <AmirB> PurpZeY: ok, I did that and lot's of packages came up...what am I supposed to do?
[12:34] <AmirB> PurpZeY: also, if I go into synaptics and search for libgtk2 you get a couple dependant files (like libgtk2.0-common, etc.) and it says that they are all installed for me and don't give me the option to reinstall them
[12:34] <vsamel> kitche: I am piping xuser' email to a script which automatically runs as mail...eventually it needs to call something in xuser's home dir...how do i achieve this?
[12:34] <Ernz> PurpZey - Kiba Dock was what I was looking for, thanks
[12:34] <mroc> foomanchew:   sorry if i didn't explain it well......before plugging in any device, dmesg | grep -i usb gives errors.         how should i show output?  (it's multiple lines)
[12:35] <PurpZeY> AmirB: I believe that's because the libraries are already installed. But you need to overwrite them to get the correct version.
[12:35] <ikonia> vsamel: what you've said doesn't make any sense
[12:35] <AmirB> PurpZeY: Exactly! but how do I do that if it doesn't give me the option to reinstall?!
[12:35] <foomanchew> mroc, you may want to read this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/54273
[12:35] <PurpZeY> AmirB: Using apt-get.
[12:35] <jayt> PriceChild, quick one, where is the "splash screen for gnome configured from" I installed edubuntu after ubuntu and I am getting the splash from edubuntu
[12:35] <interglossa> has anyone tried installing fawn and ubuntu studio?
[12:35] <foomanchew> appears there are issues with USB devices
[12:35] <Sh3r1ff> AmirB: dpkg -- purge the packe and the nreinstall them
[12:35] <ikonia> jayt: just change it in the splash screen manager
[12:36] <interglossa> alternatively is upgrade from dapper to fawn a good idea?
[12:36] <jayt> ikonia, (cough) where is that
[12:36] <vsamel> ikonia: I piping a email for a user say X to a script which runs as mail by default. This script needs to call a script in the user's home directory (said user X)
[12:36] <PurpZeY> sh3r1ff: Is that safe if the package is the gtklib?
[12:36] <Dezine> Hi, can anybody in here help me with Wubi?
[12:36] <hendrixski> ah... This is very interesting!
[12:36] <ikonia> jayt system --> preferences ---> splash screen manager
[12:36] <AmirB> Sh3r1ff: where do I find the packeges for libgtk2*?
[12:36] <diego> ikonia, I found this: http://www.ubuntu-forum.de/artikel/5191/Pocket-pc.html but it's german -_-. I try it!
[12:36] <hendrixski> Does the no-open-ports policy slow down things like bit-torrent? because I always start off really slow! and..
[12:36] <hendrixski>  would opening a few ports using rules in firestar make it start up any faster?
[12:36] <jayt> ikonia, thank you, brilliant
[12:36] <Sh3r1ff> AmirB: search
[12:36] <ikonia> vsamel: runs as mail ?
[12:37] <PurpZeY> AmirB: I have to go, but it seems sh3r1ff might try to help you out, and he seems to know a lot more than me.
[12:37] <ikonia> jayt no problem
[12:37] <AmirB> PurpZeY: ok, thanks a lot for the help you gave!
[12:37] <barbarella_me> vsamel:Why don't you make, that what you want to call from user X, readable for the world
[12:38] <kitche> !away | Purp|GONE
[12:38] <ubotu> Purp|GONE: Please don't use public away messages or change your nick to 'someone|away'.  We know you're away when you don't respond to messages. Also see !guidelines and !nickspam
[12:38] <vsamel> ikonia: piping email to a script by doing mailfilteruser : /pathofscript in /etc/aliases so when mailfilteruser receives email it runs this script. Now eventually it needs to call a script in mailfilteruser's home directory.
[12:38] <ikonia> vsamel: well the user "mail" won't have permission to the script in the users home dir
[12:38] <vsamel> barbarella_me: I can't its a script which uses passwords
[12:38] <hendrixski> PurpZeY, also if you type in /away it makes your name light gray on the side bar :-)
[12:39] <hendrixski> PurpZeY, then just type /back to un-away yourself
[12:39] <Sh3r1ff> hendrixski: auto away ;)
[12:39] <vsamel> ikonia: i understand how do i fix/workaround this? I added mail to mailfilteruser in /etc/group
[12:39] <ikonia> vsamel: you can't really, thats the whole unix level file systems
[12:39] <yuno> im trying to install ATI drivers but this is what shows up in terminal
[12:39] <yuno> Detected version of X does not have a matching 'x720' directory

[12:40] <zbrown> Any way to encrypt a partition without first deleting the data on that drive first?
[12:40] <avega> sorry; i/o error: error reading a boot cd. and I've downloaded the iso 2 times
[12:40] <hendrixski> Sh3r1ff, that guide you pointed me to is right on the money.  It has an example of opening a rule for bit-torrent,,, would that make my torrents load faster?
[12:40] <weston> Can someone help me to make Beryl work? It's installed but when I go to set it as the Window Manager, it blinks the open windows (and desktop) and when I go to check, it's still on Metacity.
[12:40] <Sh3r1ff> hendrixski: it wouldn't block torrent, but it's not going to make it faster
[12:41] <kitche> weston: how are you trying to start beryl?
[12:41] <weston> Beryl Manager
[12:41] <Sh3r1ff> weston: aplications --> beryl manager
[12:41] <weston> Yes... under system tools
[12:41] <barbarella_me> vsamel:you can always cp the script from user X for mail with a cron job
[12:42] <Sh3r1ff> in the beryl manger you have to change the settings
[12:42] <matiu> How can I see which package posted file x on my system?
[12:42] <hendrixski> Sh3r1ff, oh .  So, I guess that there really isn't much that I would need to add to the firewall.  hhmmm, I read something earlier that made it sound like I should
[12:43] <ziggy23> Hello Everyone!   I have Gnome desktop installed...I downloaded the entire KDE desktop metapackage using Synaptic.  I now have a mixture of both desktops, but I want Gnome back.  What do I do to fix this?
[12:43] <YangYi1> hey guys how do i go about adding an extra shortcut to my right mouse click on the desktop?
[12:43] <tim167> my ftp requires a password, can i upload a file to it using scp ?
[12:43] <weston> I had this problem with Beryl once before... Someone had me uninstall a driver because they said the default worked fine and then it worked perfectly... some time I must have reinstalled the driver (ATI)
[12:43] <teer2> =)
[12:43] <vsamel> barbarella_me: I dont want to run cron jobs (polling scenario) I'd want this to be triggered when user X receives an email (event driven )
[12:43] <Sh3r1ff> hendrixski: firewall is never bad, block everything except the traffic you want to come in
[12:43] <Sh3r1ff> tim167: scp is ssh not ftp
[12:44] <teer2> The bit-torrent client in Ubuntu default -- is there any reason to keep it running after the download?  It only seems to share when it is downloading.

[12:44] <mroc> foomanchew:  i tried "rmmod uhci_hcd" which deregistered the USB.         my ports are usb 1.1 though, so the usb 2.0 sensitivity thing doesn't really apply
[12:44] <teer2> Sh3r1ff: Thanks.  Is the instructions on how to replace the default in the Ubuntu wiki, or is it pretty much automatic?
[12:45] <jon_> I am having some trouble installing drivers. Is there anyone willing to give me a few good references  ?
[12:45] <barbarella_me> vsamel:so..forward the mail from user X to user mail
[12:45] <YangYi1> hey guys how do i go about adding an extra shortcut to my right mouse click on the desktop?
[12:45] <Sh3r1ff> teer2: just apt-get install it and use that, you can leave the default client for what it is and just never use it
[12:45] <teer2> Thanks!!!
[12:45] <tim167> Sh3r1ff: ok, well i'm looking for a way to send a file to my webspace but in one command, is that possible (i normally use ftp <mydomainname> and then user name and passwd etc...
[12:45] <avega> the problem I'm having is an i/o error: error reading a boot cd.

[12:46] <Puppy_> how do you show thumb nails for photos when you view them? I am using a chat program, and I can't tell what the photos are. I don't know if this is possible.
[12:46] <Sh3r1ff> tim167: scp "filename" "user"@"domain":"dir" or man scp ;)
[12:46] <icebrian> bruenig: right.
[12:47] <teer2> icebrian: not the default desktop effects
[12:47] <vsamel> baraberalla_me: Let me explain what I'm trying to do. I am piping email for user 'mailfilteruser' by mailfilteruser: /pathtoprocessorscript in /etc/aliases. Now processor script runs as user 'mail' by default. I want it to call/ run a script inside /home/mailfilteruser. I've added mail to the mailfilteruser group in /etc/group. No luck.
[12:47] <tim167> Sh3r1ff: ok cool , i'll try that, btw, i did man scp, but i'm kinda slow at grasping things sometimes :)
[12:47] <Sh3r1ff> teer2: cube doesn't have to beryl ;)

[12:55] <robert98374> belialmkII do you know where i can get a script to do that?
[12:55] <Sir-Integra> or is it a case of compiling the kernel to adapt to my hardware?
[12:55] <mroc> foomanchew:  the solutions seemed to be either "rmmod uhci_hcd"  or update of bios   (former didn't work, latter does not apply)
[12:55] <hanzomon4> How do I change the umask FOR A Folder?
[12:55] <tbuss> Sh3r1ff: I'm able to save changes when logged in to the server, just cant save changes when I connect ssh even though I connected with the same user.
[12:55] <k_rock923> hello.  I'm having some problems with a TV tuner
[12:55] <XBehave> if a howto expects me to use a fiesty live cd, and im using debbootstrap then aptitude will i need to change my repos to fiesty ones?
[12:55] <BelialMkII> robert98374: Its a one liner, and if you were to make a script, that ios what it would have in it
[12:55] <vsamel> barbarella_me: drwx-w--w-   4 mailfilteruser mailfilteruser 4096 May 15 13:33 mailfilteruser
[12:55] <ANON12345> Sh3r1ff: that didn't work either
[12:55] <BelialMkII> is*
[12:55] <kishan> avega: if the md5 sum is not matching there is problem with the dowload so dowload it from another location or use torrents
[12:55] <Sh3r1ff> tbuss: permission denied?
[12:56] <Sh3r1ff> ANON12345: man chmod ;)
[12:56] <gyaresu> Greetings people. MPD stopped working after a feisty upgrade and seems to not see any sound cards (yes is a member of the audio group). Suggestions? http://pastebin.ca/506379
[12:56] <tbuss> Sh3r1ff: yes! something to the affect of not having the correct permissions
[12:56] <k_rock923> I'm getting video, but no sound.  I can confirm that this card did work on edgy
[12:57] <ANON12345> Sh3r1ff: i can open any windows exec. through the terminal with "sudo wine 'file' " with no problem, but i am unable to open any windows exec. by double clicking.
[12:57] <avega> i'll try to download it from a torrent
[12:57] <barbarella_me> vsamel:strange. Can you login as mail and run the script manually, so you can see some output?
[12:57] <vsamel> barbarella_me: MY BAD! chmod a+x at upper level did it! THANK YOU! just needed that outsider's perspective...been banging my head on this small thing for hours now.
[12:57] <kishan> avega : do a md5 check before u burn this way u will not waste a cd
[12:57] <Sh3r1ff> tbuss: tried setting the permission so that everyone can write and tried that?
[12:58] <Sh3r1ff> ANON12345: then use that ;)
[12:58] <ANON12345> Sh3r1ff: the following message appears when i try to open a windows exec. when i double click: "Cannot open /media/TRAVELDRIVE/dap85.exe: No application suitable for automatic installation is available for handling this kind of file."
[12:58] <tbuss> Sh3r1ff: It is my website files, could I apply those same permissions to /var/www/web/site/files/
[12:59] <vsamel> ikonia: thanks to you to. FYI: it works
[12:59] <Sh3r1ff> ANON12345: right, click open with and add wine
[12:59] <ANON12345> Sh3r1ff: wine is not showing up on the list
[12:59] <nitro4ce> hi! is it possible to convert my ext3 disk into ext4 without loosing data?
[01:00] <Sh3r1ff> ANON12345: custom command ;)
[01:00] <Sh3r1ff> tbuss: sure
[01:00] <ANON12345> Sh3r1ff: i get an error saying: "Could not add application to the application database"
[01:01] <tbuss> Sh3r1ff: yeah, I don;t know. For some reason I'm unable to make changes when connected through ssh. I can always just sit at the server and edit the files, just thought it might be convenient if I could do it remotely
[01:02] <tbuss> Sh3r1ff: I'll just put that whole dang var/ to r+w
[01:02] <stim__> whenever i try to load a movie or audio file, the program that loads it crashes
[01:02] <Sh3r1ff> tbuss: you could try to chown the files to your user, just make sure everybody can read them for the webserber
[01:02] <Sh3r1ff> ANON12345: then you'll have to use the terminal ;)
[01:03] <ANON12345> !wine
[01:03] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[01:03] <tbuss> Sh3r1ff: I just wanted a simple way to access my html files and update them remotely
[01:03] <AmirB> how do you reinstall a package through the command line? (synaptics isn't giving me the option to reinstall it_
[01:03] <AmirB> )
[01:04] <stim__> AmirB: dpkg-reconfigure
[01:04] <Sh3r1ff> tbuss: it is a permission problem, so play around a bit with the permissions to find the right ones
[01:04] <tim167> Sh3r1ff: im trying scp, but it still asks me my password only after i did the command, i cant figure out how to give it right away so that everything happens in one go
[01:04] <illriginal> Hey what's up guys? I have a question about Edgy Vs. Fiesty which is more reliable as of now?
[01:04] <stim__> whenever i try to load a movie or audio file, the program that loads it crashes, this includes things like youtube, it worked until about 4 days ago
[01:04] <Sh3r1ff> tim167: if you have to give a password, you can't
[01:05] <tim167> Sh3r1ff: ooh that's bad news, ok thanks anyway !
[01:05] <AmirB> ok, different question: how do I reinstall gtk2.0 (I have a hacked version and I want to reinstall it)
[01:05] <AmirB> (reinstall the original)
[01:05] <yuno> im trying to install ATI drivers but this is what shows up in terminal
[01:05] <yuno> Detected version of X does not have a matching 'x720' directory
[01:05] <yuno> You may override the detected version using the following syntax:
[01:05] <Sh3r1ff> illriginal: ubuntu is always reliable ;)
[01:05] <yuno>      X_VERSION=<xdir> ./ati-driver-installer-<ver>-<arch>.run [--install] 
[01:05] <XBehave> illriginal: what do you mean by reliable
[01:06] <AmirB> ok, different question: how do I reinstall gtk2.0 (I have a hacked version and I want to reset it to the original)
[01:07] <Pelo> AmirB,  how did you install the hacked version ?
[01:07] <tbuss> Sh3r1ff: is it safe to chmod a+rw /var/www/
[01:08] <cdizzle> Hello all. If you were to recieve the following error, what would you think? "/usr/local/matlab74_sv/bin/glnx86/MATLAB: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
[01:08] <sylverpyro> also, does anyone have any experience with getting HPT370 ide chips working?
[01:08] <Sh3r1ff> tbuss: not really, you don't want everybody to be able to write
[01:08] <ecoleman> tbuss: nah, use chmod a+rwx /var/www
[01:08] <Pelo> cdizzle,  install libncurses
[01:08] <XBehave> if your going to push it to the edge, with beryl and stuff im not sure id probably go with edgy, but thats only because i havent used fiesty. but if either your going to set everything up right or your happy with a normal install(nothing fancy just desktop usage then both are reliable
[01:08] <Sh3r1ff> tbuss: but it wouldn't setting it for just a moment to test if that works
[01:08] <AmirB> Pelo: It was a .deb
[01:08] <cdizzle> Pelo, yeah it's installed. that's the weird part
[01:09] <illriginal> heh nevermind, I'm gettin Feisty.... seems like it's better than Edgy
[01:09] <illriginal> thanks anyways guys.
[01:09] <AmirB> Pelo: I had to to install the mac menu bar applet (if you know anything about that) but now I don't like it anymore and I wan't to get it back the way it was and on the forum they said to reinstall libgtk2* but I don't know how to do that because synaptics says it is installed already and doesn't let me reinstall it
[01:09] <ecoleman> anyone seen 'no screen attached' when installing?
[01:09] <robert98374> Hello again everyone
[01:09] <tbuss> Sh3r1ff: ok, I'm new and I heard somewhere that setting perms like that on sys folder was not a good idea
[01:09] <stim__> whenever i try to load a movie or audio file, the program that loads it crashes, this includes things like youtube, it worked until about 4 days ago
[01:09] <Pelo> AmirB, go in synaptic  , check for the previous version , and install and remove the hacked one , I think
[01:09] <Sh3r1ff> tbuss: you're learning fast ;)
[01:09] <AmirB> Pelo: how do I do that?
[01:10] <j1tters> hey all. quick question. mabye someone knows. just plugged in my usb 2.0 ion drive. its listed in hardware but how or where do i access it? need to format if first? have thunar file mananger installed.?
[01:10] <robert98374> Anyone know of a good place to find a script for mouting and unmounting ISOs?
[01:10] <Pelo> AmirB,   menu > system > admin > synaptic package manager ,  user the search tool and search for gtk , also try right licking the package and I think there is an option in htere somewhere to install odlder versions
[01:11] <just-this-time> is 915resolution tool built in current feisty X
[01:11] <AmirB> Pelo: will try it now
[01:11] <Pelo> just-this-time, I think it is a package you need to install still
[01:11] <Sh3r1ff> j1tters: /media/usb but it could you have to format it first, use gparted for that
[01:11] <just-this-time> tyvm I did
[01:11] <ANON12345> i have a problem with wine, it won't exec. anything when i try to double click on the file and "open with wine" does not show up on the right click menu, how do i fix this problem?
[01:11] <j1tters> ahh mucho thanks. is there  a nice file manager that will show it?
[01:12] <just-this-time> how to check what is my version of X on feisty
[01:12] <tbuss> Sh3r1ff: tried sudo chmod a+rwx /var/www/ connected ssh tbuss@ip addr And I got this after trying to save changes: You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file.
[01:12] <GodTodd> ok....i *think* i'm about a step away from getting my wireless working again....can anyone here tell anything useful from this? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22234/ (for instance, how to get iwconfig to see my router?)
[01:12] <LjL> just-this-time: apt-cache policy xserver-xorg
[01:12] <robert98374> anon12345 you might have to open a few programs from the terminal with wine
[01:12] <Pelo> ANON12345,  from the terminal    type        wine /patch/prog.exe
[01:12] <just-this-time> ljl tyvm
[01:12] <AmirB> Pelo: there is a "force version" option which gives  me two options: (now) and (feisty)
[01:12] <AmirB> Pelo: is that what you were thinking about?
[01:12] <Pelo> AmirB, there you go, use the feisty one
[01:13] <Sh3r1ff> tbuss: chmod -R a+rwx to change all the files
[01:13] <Pelo> AmirB,  you are on fiesty right ?
[01:13] <just-this-time> X is 7.2
[01:13] <yuno> im trying to install ATI drivers but this is what shows up in terminal
[01:13] <yuno> You may override the detected version using the following syntax:
[01:13] <yuno> You may override the detected version using the following syntax:
[01:13] <yuno>      X_VERSION=<xdir> ./ati-driver-installer-<ver>-<arch>.run [--install] 
[01:13] <robert98374> Anyone know of a good place to get scripts period?
[01:13] <AmirB> Pelo: yes :)
[01:13] <Sh3r1ff> tbuss: if that works, try it without giving everybody access
[01:13] <Pelo> AmirB,  go to it then
[01:13] <AmirB> ok
[01:14] <AmirB> am now
[01:14] <Hobbes> Is there any other names or aliases for drivers in Linux?
[01:14] <tbuss> Sh3r1ff: that worked!
[01:14] <mroc> GoddTodd:  i'm fairly new to linux, but if i understand correctly, iwlist is showing you the wireless devices it sees, you just need to connect to one of them
[01:14] <Pelo> yuno,    xdir would be the directory for x server,  ver the ati driver version , arch would be x86 or amd64
[01:14] <GodTodd> mroc: ok...but how?
[01:14] <naknak987> could some help me install enemy territory.   please
[01:15] <ANON12345> Pello: i am getting an error saying "can not find /patch/prog.exe
[01:15] <mroc> GoddTodd:  use iwconfig essid <your router's ssid>
[01:15] <Sh3r1ff> tbuss: now try it with the permissions only you can write
[01:15] <AmirB> Pelo: it tells me that one package will be downgraded and 10 will be removed...why are they being removed? the hacked package was only 1 file
[01:15] <Pelo> naknak987,  did you check the repos for a package ?
[01:15] <v3n0m`> what is the tv tuner url again?
[01:15] <j1tters> ok gparted is not showing the usb drive?
[01:15] <GodTodd> mroc: but i did that...that's how i got it to list the correct essid...
[01:15] <v3n0m`> !tuner | v3n0m`
[01:15] <mroc> GoddTodd:  if it is encrypted, use iwconfig essid <your router> enc <encryption key>
[01:15] <Pelo> AmirB,   dependencies , they were included in the deb
[01:15] <GodTodd> mroc: it's not
[01:15] <v3n0m`> !tv | v3n0m`
[01:16] <Ropechoborra> Hi
[01:16] <AmirB> Pelo: ok, I hope you're right. we'll find out soon
[01:16] <mroc> GoddTodd:  if you've done all that, then you just need to request an ip address from the router   use dhclient <interface name....eth1, etc>
[01:16] <ANON12345> !investigate | ANON12345
[01:16] <AmirB> Pelo: if it needs to restart x I'll let it and then if it works I'll come back and tell you
[01:16] <GodTodd> i did that and it said it got no dhcp offers
[01:16] <j1tters> nm. got it
[01:17] <robert98374> whats the command to mount an ISO?

[01:17] <XBehave> if im using an edgy install instead ofa fiesty lvie cd will i need to change my repos to use bootstrap or will i be ok?
[01:18] <tbuss> Sh3r1ff: it worked, I also applied to just specific files I need
[01:18] <BelialMkII> !dvd

[01:18] <robert98374> Sh3r1ff where do i specify where the ISO is?
[01:18] <`AnthraX> its like nano /etc/cat sources ??
[01:18] <`AnthraX> :/
[01:18] <Pelo> AmirB,  you'll be ok, and I was joking ?
[01:18] <Sh3r1ff> tbuss: make sure the permissions of the other files are what they are supposed to be ;)

[01:19] <GodTodd> mroc: k...i'll try that next

[01:53] <davef_> My friends machine with a gigabit card will only get a couple of packets from the internet (through an OpenBSD firewall), then the connection hangs.  It talks to the other machines on the local net fine, and the windows boxes can connect to the net fine.  Any ideas?

[01:53] <Ropechoborra> Tarantulafudge try $ cat /etc/vnc.conf | grep port
[01:54] <Ropechoborra> or something like that
[01:54] <digital_k> ixian: did you check that link I gave?
[01:54] <tritium> kazol: I had that same error last night.  I had it install only off CD, rather than internet, and it worked after that
[01:54] <kazol> robert98374: So it's a read error?

[01:55] <pbx> This is more of an application question than an Ubuntu question; feel free to redirect me: I've gotten addicted to Tilda, which keeps a terminal window just a keystroke away. Is there anything similar in the web browser arena?
[01:55] <digital_k> Je: just ask, someone may know.
[01:55] <naknak987> sh3riff: Ummm,,   this is going to sound dumb...   how do you go to the file that you downloaded it to.
[01:55] <kazol> robert98374: I had already used it in 2 installations successfully, but this time I configured RAID-1 the correct way and need to install again.
[01:55] <Pelo> later folks

[01:56] <kazol> Just curious, how many Ubuntu channels are there?

[02:01] <Je> Thanks for tips guys!
[02:01] <digital_k> Skywise: go here http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
[02:01] <Skywise> ok great, thanks for your help
[02:01] <Sh3r1ff> robert98374: sudo umount /media/iso
[02:01] <digital_k> i recommend 7.04 :)
[02:01] <Jordan_U> Je, sorry, forgot the dash, install bcm43xx-fwcutter
[02:02] <Skywise> see i'm confused by it calling the image the cd installer
[02:02] <Je> Jordan_U, I'm sorry it's not clear to me how.
[02:02] <loki_> can anyone come with good ubuntu alternatives for dreamwaever, flash and photoshop?
[02:02] <naknak987> sh3riff: command not found error
[02:02] <robert98374> sh3rlff
[02:02] <robert98374> sudo umount /media/iso
[02:02] <Je> Photoshop -> Gimp :D
[02:02] <robert98374> whoops
[02:02] <Sh3r1ff> robert98374: yes
[02:03] <digital_k> flash exists for Ubuntu, and GIMP is a good alternative for PS
[02:03] <bruenig> loki_, nvu for dreamweaver, flashplugin-nonfree is a port of flash, gimp for photoshop (those are about the closest you will get)
[02:03] <robert98374> sh3rlff umount: /home/images/StarCraft.iso: not found
[02:03] <robert98374> umount: /home/images/StarCraft.iso: not found
[02:03] <Sh3r1ff> naknak987: sudo sh et-Linux-2.60.x86.run
[02:03] <Skywise> oh i see, its a combination of both an install and livecd
[02:03] <Jordan_U> robert98374, That should work but you don't need the extra arguments, sudo umount /media should work also ( but you should not generally use /media itself as a mount point, you should have multiple folders within /media to use for that )
[02:03] <Sh3r1ff> robert98374: umount /media/iso not the is file ;)
[02:03] <Skywise> thats great, it would be nice if she likes it
[02:03] <naknak987> sh3riff: now its saying that it cant open it
[02:04] <Jordan_U> Je, Do you know how to use Synaptic or apt-get?
[02:04] <loki_> flashplugin-nonfree is it a software to make flash applications in?
[02:04] <Sh3r1ff> naknak987: what's the exact error?
[02:04] <Skywise> only caveat is her games
[02:04] <bruenig> loki_, oh my fault, flash as you refer to it does not exist at all
[02:04] <kazim59> hello everyone
[02:04] <Sh3r1ff> loki_: just to play flash
[02:04] <Jordan_U> loki_, No, it is only the player
[02:04] <digital_k> loki: no its for flash playback, etc, like on youtube, etc
[02:04] <robert98374> jordan_U thanks
[02:04] <naknak987> sh3riff: sh: Can't open et-Linux-2.60.x86.run
[02:04] <redlaw> redlaw has quit
[02:04] <rdehler> that would be a negative
[02:05] <Je> Jordan_u, sorry not at all :( I'm a total newbie here, althout I have no problem understanding linux stuff
[02:05] <Sh3r1ff> naknak987: chmod a+rwx et-Linux-2.60.x86.run
[02:05] <loki_> ok I need a tool to create flash applets/sites in for ubuntu, isn't there and alternative to macromedia flash
[02:05] <kazim59> i've my linux programming lab. today.... about interprocess communication... how do i know that on a particular machine there's pthread (POSIX Threads) library support? is there any quick way?
[02:05] <naknak987> sh3riff: chmod: cannot access `et-Linux-2.60.x86.run': No such file or directory
[02:05] <Sh3r1ff> Pelo: :p
[02:05] <bruenig> loki_, no the flash format is closed and adobe is not too helpful towards linux
[02:06] <Skywise> oh one other thing, can i install the live image to a flash drive or should i use dvd?
[02:06] <Eleaf> loki_, there is flash 4 linux.  Although it's pretty early and such.  http://f4l.sourceforge.net/
[02:06] <Eleaf> check it out though.
[02:06] <Jordan_U> Je, Ok, open up System -> Administration -> Software Sources and allow "Community maintained" software
[02:06] <Sh3r1ff> naknak987: what the hell? and the file is there?
[02:06] <loki_> damnit, I would hate to go back to Windows again
[02:06] <Eleaf> loki_, it's a similar interface to macromedia flash.
[02:06] <naknak987> sh3riff: yes, that is were i put the file.
[02:06] <loki_> thanx eleaf I'll check it out
[02:06] <Je> Jordan_U, ok good, i will copy theses infos... how do I pm you right in this chat room?
[02:06] <bruenig> loki_, at the very least send an email off to adobe so that they can put it in there angry linux users trash can
[02:06] <Eleaf> loki_, by the way, macromedia flash works well in wine too.
[02:06] <digital_k> bruenig:lol great idea!
[02:07] <naknak987> sh3riff: home/naknak987/Desktop
[02:07] <quux> bleh, google seems to be having 'server errors' which mean adminfoo.net is unavailable right now
[02:07] <digital_k> just think of this tho, we would not have flash 9 if people didnt complain :)
[02:07] <loki_> Eleaf, yeah but I only have Adobe Premium Suite CS3 and I cant install that, not even through wine :S
[02:07] <Pelo> naknak987,   type ls and  tell me if that list correctonds to the contend of your desktop or that of yoru /home folder
[02:07] <Sh3r1ff> naknak987: what does ls -al /home/naknak987/Desktop/et-Linux-2.60.x86.run give you?
[02:08] <Jordan_U> Je, You should ask any questions here but if you want to PM instead then type "/msg Jordan_U <insert comment here>"
[02:08] <Sh3r1ff> Pelo: probably home folder ;)
[02:08] <Pelo> Sh3r1ff, that is my guess to
[02:08] <quux> here it is. http://adminfoo.net/2007/04/windows-perfmon-top-ten-counters.html
[02:08] <Sh3r1ff> naknak987: sudo sh /home/naknak987/Desktop/et-Linux-2.60.x86
[02:08] <Eleaf> loki_, yeah that's a tough one.
[02:08] <naknak987> Pelo: Enemy Territory 2.60b  et-linux-2.55.x86.run  et-linux-2.60.x86.run

[02:09] <loki_> eleaf >> Indeed it is, I have looked all over the web for a solution on how to install it, but with no luck at all
[02:09] <zucaritas> can anyone give me a hand?
[02:09] <naknak987> sh3riff: yours gives me a can't open error
[02:09] <Pelo> naknak987, are you sure the file finished downloadiing ?
[02:09] <kazim51> sorry i was disconnected for a while... did anybody answer my question about POSIX Threads?
[02:09] <Eleaf> loki_, maybe you could try a virtualizer like virtualbox or vmware to run windows?
[02:09] <digital_k> zucaritas:just ask, someone will assist if they can.
[02:10] <Pelo> !wifi | zucaritas
[02:10] <Eleaf> loki_, cs3 might be a little slow though.
[02:10] <loki_> Eleaf >> Perhaps, but I don't have windows installed
[02:10] <naknak987> Pelo: yea, want me to try downloading again from some were els
[02:10] <digital_k> sorry i didnt see your question zucaritas. my apologies.
[02:10] <Pelo> bot down again
[02:10] <kazim51> actually i want to find out a way to know if POSIX Thread library is there on a particular system..? some command?
[02:10] <Eleaf> loki_, of course, but you could install it
[02:10] <Eleaf> if you had windows.
[02:10] <Pelo> naknak987, it's a 250 meg file might take a long time ,
[02:11] <naknak987> Pelo: i just want to play the game.

[02:11] <J03L> which is the best p2p application for linux??? (Like limewire and that things)??
[02:11] <Audiobahn> i have a quick a question about apt-get
[02:11] <loki_> elead >> true true, but im tired of windows (wonder why hehe)
[02:11] <bruenig> !enter | Audiobahn
[02:11] <Pelo> naknak987,  and we are just disapointed we can't seem to figure out how to help you with this one
[02:11] <bruenig> !justask | Audiobahn
[02:11] <naknak987> J03L: bittorrent
[02:12] <Eleaf> loki_, how does flash 4 linux look?  I've never tried it, I thought it was just an equivelent to flash 5 or something.
[02:12] <J03L> I mean P2P not for torrents
[02:12] <digital_k> is ubot on vacation? lol
[02:12] <Audiobahn> !enter
[02:12] <Audiobahn> ?
[02:12] <Audiobahn> sorry
[02:12] <bruenig> J03L, limewire works on linux
[02:12] <Audiobahn> im new at this ;)
[02:12] <Skywise> i'm good to go, thanks guys
[02:12] <Audiobahn> anw
[02:12] <kazim51> Audiobahn: just ask your question..
[02:12] <loki_> Eleaf >< I don't know yet, Im a noob at ubuntu so I have to figure out how to install that hehe
[02:12] <NefariousPrior> Does ubuntu have enlightenment dr17 ?
[02:12] <digital_k> yw skywise, good luck!
[02:12] <J03L> i know, but i want to know which one is the best, or most popular
[02:12] <bruenig> Audiobahn, no that was intended for the bot to tell you some helpful things, the bot is not working apparently
[02:12] <naknak987> Pelo: Maybe i will try again later when I don't have so much on my mind. Maybe then I will get it working.
[02:12] <Eleaf> loki_, you can also code everything in actionscript and use an actionscript compiler ;)
[02:13] <Sh3r1ff> naknak987: sudo sh /home/naknak987/Desktop/et-linux-2.60.x86.run
[02:13] <Pelo> naknak987,  give me a couple of minutes I am gonna try something
[02:13] <loki_> Eleaf >> how?
[02:13] <Audiobahn> i had vsftpd installed and then installed proftpd using sudo apt-get install proftpd
[02:13] <Eleaf> loki_, there are actionscript compilers that can compile to swf.
[02:13] <J03L> which is the best download manager for ubuntu?
[02:13] <Eleaf> you'd have to be pretty good at actionscript to make a whole applet site thingy..
[02:14] <Audiobahn> then i decided proftpd wasnt up to the job and remved it... but something has gone wrong and now i get this msg... whenever i try to remove proftpd invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/proftpd not found.
[02:14] <bruenig> Audiobahn, sudo chmod -x /etc/init.d/proftpd && sudo apt-get remove proftpd (stupid automatic packaging scripts suck, not your fault)
[02:14] <loki_> Ahhh ok, but I need a software to make flash myself, I'm working on a flash site so I need something to work with it so I can be finish hehe
[02:14] <Eleaf> oh
[02:14] <NefariousPrior> How would I go about installing ubuntu without Xorg ?
[02:15] <bruenig> NefariousPrior, get the server version
[02:15] <Striking7> NefariousPrior: have you tried the server version?
[02:15] <kazim51> bruenig: is it that apt-get remove won't remove executable files.. ?
[02:15] <naknak987> sh3riff: that code you just gave me is working.   hahahahaha. I LOVE you man, thanks.
[02:15] <Audiobahn> the problem is that /etc/init.d/proftpd seems to be missing
[02:15] <NefariousPrior> Would I still have the same packages and options available to should I change my mind about Xorg later?
[02:15] <Pelo> naknak987,   I'm gonna send you a file,  I want you to put it in you /home folder
[02:15] <Pelo> naknak987, nevermind ten
[02:16] <bruenig> kazim51, for daemons the scripts try to stop the daemons before removing and if the daemons are already stopped, you get the already stopped error and then apt-get errs
[02:16] <naknak987> Pelo:ok
[02:16] <Je> Sorry, noobs question ;P what command you must do to get ... * Je is an idiot?
[02:16] <bruenig> Audiobahn, do sudo touch /etc/init.d/proftpd && sudo apt-get remove proftpd
[02:16] <Audiobahn> but when i try to install vsftpd again i get: dpkg: error processing proftpd (--remove):
[02:16] <Audiobahn>  subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 100
[02:16] <Audiobahn> Errors were encountered while processing:
[02:16] <Audiobahn>  proftpd
[02:16] <Eleaf> loki_, flash 4 linux probably won't be able to read the flash project if it was created in cs3
[02:16] <m1r> ave ubuntu
[02:17] <sambiase> hi...ive been having problems in order to tar my home... would it be: tar -jcfv home.tar /home/user1   ???? do i have to tar as root?

[02:17] <Audiobahn> sorry for flooding my mistake
[02:17] <bruenig> Audiobahn, did you try the second command?
[02:17] <Audiobahn> dude thanx ! that worked u rock
[02:17] <eshaase> whats a good app to rip tracks off of an audio cd?
[02:17] <kandrews> Hi, I have searched everywhere for some hints on how to solve my problem and so far I haven't had any luck. Everytime I boot up and try to log into one of the /dev/tty terminals I am unable to use my Capslock key. I can get it back by running console-setup, but it is a hassle. Do you think it is a bug?
[02:17] <Sh3r1ff> naknak987: let us know if you have a problem with the patch ;)
[02:18] <NefariousPrior> Does ubuntu server edition have the same package repository as desktop... and the ability to use it as a desktop system ??
[02:18] <naknak987> I will, thanks again, sh3riff and pelo
[02:18] <bruenig> NefariousPrior, yes
[02:18] <Sh3r1ff> NefariousPrior: no

[02:18] <bimberi> eshaase: soundjuicer
[02:18] <Sh3r1ff> bruenig: servers doesn't have restricted modules, just to say something
[02:19] <Audiobahn> back to vsftpd again! after 5 hours of searching in the net of how to do it i tried here! damn me! I am used to windows... i was going to do it the "windows" way in a bit! FORMAT LOL....
[02:19] <cafuego> NefariousPrior: yes, but the server edition uses a kernel without 'restricted' support by default
[02:19] <Pelo> sambiase,  man tar
[02:19] <bruenig> Sh3r1ff, they use the same repositories
[02:19] <Jordan_U> kandrews, Anything that does not work the way it should is a bug, and should be filed if it hasn't already been
[02:19] <NefariousPrior> I can add restricted modules later... right?
[02:19] <bruenig> Audiobahn, oh you deleted /etc/init.d/proftpd when it wouldn't uninstall?
[02:19] <kandrews> alright, Jordan_U. Thanks

[02:34] <Nwallins> Hi, I usually leave my machine running 24/7.  I came home from work today, and it was off.  When I powered her on, she took a long time to boot, with a blinking cursor in the top left, and then gnome ran slow as a dog.  Program launch times were a minute or two.  Once loaded, they seemed to run fairly normally.  top and ps show nothing funky, and I checked a bunch of logs in /var/log.  any ideas?
[02:34] <Nwallins> running feisty
[02:34] <pmayer> striking: right

[02:36] <Shadou> Hello #Ubuntu
[02:36] <mariocesar_bo> i get an ext3-fs error;  Block bitmap fro group 0 not in group
[02:37] <robert98374> anyone know how i can make the trash can,home folder etc on the desktop?
[02:37] <Sh3r1ff> naknak987: sudo ;)
[02:37] <pmayer> striking: not to sound like an idiot, but I have had ubuntu all of 12 hours, so I don't know.
[02:37] <mariocesar_bo> i get this from running $dmesg | tail with the live cd
[02:37] <naknak987> sh3riff: ???
[02:37] <Nwallins> pmayer: feisty is the latest release
[02:37] <Striking7> pmayer: Hehe, no problem.  I was asking what version you're running, but I'm pretty sure it's feisty now.
[02:37] <mariocesar_bo> :S i don't know what to do ... any help?
[02:37] <robert98374> pmayer how did you get the CD to install from?
[02:37] <Shadou> i installed Beryl but it doesnt startup at login, how do i make it startup when i login?
[02:38] <kestri> where should I go to ask questions on purchasing hardware???
[02:38] <eshaase> whats a good lame encoder?
[02:38] <LjL> !beryl > Shadou    (Shadou, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:38] <Nwallins> eshaase: heh
[02:38] <Jordan_U> Shadou, System -> Preferences -> Session add "beryl-manager"
[02:38] <LjL> kestri: possibly in #ubuntu-offtopic. see also the following
[02:38] <LjL> !hardware > kestri    (kestri, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:38] <Striking7> pmayer: while I'm finding some good advice for you, you might want to open up "system->administration->synaptic package manager" and check out the games section in there.
[02:38] <Sh3r1ff> eshaase: lame ;)
[02:38] <Striking7> pmayer: you won't find diablo2, but there are a few fun games.
[02:38] <dedi> bimberi: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22242/ and thanks for taking a look at it
[02:38] <pmayer> I build computers and a customer brought in an Ubuntu disk for me to try because I had never used linux software.
[02:38] <Shadou> thanks!
[02:39] <Draconicus> My Dell laptop has a weird framebuffer problem that screws up the usplash. Is there a way to make usplash run differently?
[02:39] <dedi> Shadou: do you have a ati graficcard?
[02:39] <naknak987> how do i change folder permissions?
[02:39] <robert98374> pmayer go to system and go to about unbuntu it should tell you what version you are using
[02:39] <raf256> naknak987: chmod for example
[02:40] <eshaase> Sh3r1ff: theres a package named lame?
[02:40] <Sh3r1ff> eshaase: yup
[02:40] <ace_ace> !sshfs
[02:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sshfs - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:40] <blind> I just rebooted my PC, only for X to not load, and in the error log is "Failed to load NVIDIA kernel module" - I recently installed the newest nVidia driver, but have rebooted and it has run with success.. how can I fix this?
[02:40] <naknak987> raf256: what do i do with chmod
[02:40] <eshaase> Package lame is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[02:40] <bimberi> dedi: does 'ifconfig' output anything? if so, pastebin
[02:40] <mon^rch> is there a way I can keep requesting the same ip from shaw each time my card connects?
[02:41] <ace_ace> blind: did you save /etc/X11/xorg.conf while it was succesfully working ? then just put that back !
[02:41] <Nwallins> eshaase: it may be in universe or multiverse
[02:41] <blind> ace_ace: I haven't changed my xorg at all.
[02:41] <eshaase> ahhh, ok
[02:41] <dedi> bimberi: no, with -a it outputs a eth0 but without any ip. tried to set ip manually but didnt work
[02:42] <ace_ace> blind: xorg is being changed for you in case of trouble. goto /etc/X11 and do 'ls -la xorg.conf*'
[02:42] <ace_ace> and see what you get.
[02:42] <m1r> mighty ubuntu admins , does anyone know how to conect two laptops via parallel port ?
[02:42] <blind> ace_ace: I have about a million backup xorgs.
[02:42] <sonictwin> !dvd
[02:42] <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
[02:42] <bimberi> dedi: so 'sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.10'  (for example) doesn't work?  What's the error?
[02:42] <ace_ace> blind: sorry, i can not help you!
[02:42] <Jordan_U> blind, Did you install the Nvidia drivers through the restricted driver manager or through envy / nvidia.com ?
[02:43] <pmayer> robert, it says Drapper Drake right off the bat, but I let it do all of its upgrades
[02:43] <blind> Jordan_U: through nvidia.com
[02:44] <Samus_Aran> robert98374: I just copied the files to my WINE fir and then ran the installer exe file
[02:44] <Striking7> pmayer: Good for you letting it do the upgrades (always wise), you still have Dapper Drake, just the most up to date version of it.
[02:44] <Jordan_U> blind, For future reference it is better to go through the restricted driver manager otherwise the drivers will break every time  there is a kernel update
[02:44] <Nwallins> I came home from work today, and it was off.  When I powered her on, she took a long time to boot, with a blinking cursor in the top left, and then gnome ran slow as a dog.  Program launch times were a minute or two.  Once loaded, they seemed to run fairly normally.  top and ps show nothing funky, and I checked a bunch of logs in /var/log.  cpu utilization was normal, cpu temp was normal, all my ram was showing, 40% used;   any ideas or troubles
[02:44] <blind> Jordan_U: okay, makes sense. but I haven't upgraded my kernel..
[02:44] <Striking7> pmayer: this tutorial should help for Diablo2.  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=318837&highlight=Diablo2
[02:44] <Nwallins> it = my computer running feisty
[02:45] <robert98374> Samus_Aran hmmmm not try to be a smart alec but are you talking about the .DLLS?
[02:45] <PriceChild> !info
[02:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about info - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:45] <dedi> bimberi: can't remember exactly, i think no error msg, but it should work with dhcp anyway (and it works here on the livesystem). im not on the system now unfortunately
[02:45] <Samus_Aran> robert98374: but I don't remember any details past that now, it was long ago.  if you're having CD-ROM problems installing it, then you may want to download a no-cd crack for it, which will make the game ignore the CD-ROM and let you install from files
[02:45] <Striking7> pmayer: but you should know that's not the "normal" way to install software on Ubuntu
[02:45] <Samus_Aran> robert98374: the game install files, all of them
[02:45] <Jordan_U> blind, Are you sure? Have you gotten any automatic updates recently?
[02:45] <Samus_Aran> robert98374: do you have a working WINE setup already ?
[02:45] <Striking7> pmayer: the normal way is to open up "system->administration->synaptic package manager", find the program you want (use the "search" feature if needed), right click->install, apply.
[02:45] <blind> Jordan_U: I don't use the automatic updates, and I'm positive I haven't updated my kernel. I even checked when I got that error message
[02:46] <Striking7> pmayer: it'll locate, download, and install the program for you after that.
[02:46] <robert98374> Samus_Aran thanks ill look for one :-)
[02:46] <dedi> bimberi: but in sys - admin - network i dont even have a network device
[02:46] <m1r> no one tryed to conect two laptops over paralel port ?
[02:46] <Mysticcal> question: when i was installing GNOME i set the res to a res my video card can
[02:46] <robert98374> Samus_Aran yes
[02:46] <m1r> or computers ?
[02:46] <Mysticcal> can't handle, any idea on fix?
[02:46] <Jordan_U> blind, Try running: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh
[02:46] <robert98374> Samus_Aran atleast i think its a working copy
[02:46] <blind> Jordan_U: sure thing
[02:47] <Jordan_U> blind, When it asks what driver to use choose "nv" *not* "Nvidia"
[02:47] <Striking7> pmayer: it's the easiest software installation procedure I've ever seen, but it won't work for Windows-only stuff.
[02:47] <Mysticcal> also, any idea on how to get the AMP features of LAMP in Ubuntu going?
[02:47] <linxuz3r> !nvidia-legacy
[02:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nvidia-legacy - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:47] <Je> Noooooon :'(
[02:48] <LjL> !lamp > Mysticcal    (Mysticcal, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:48] <Je> I lost all the things you told meh, Jordan_U :(
[02:48] <Je> Grrrr
[02:48] <bimberi> dedi: yes that's strange, something is definitely amiss
[02:48] <Jordan_U> Je, I still have them so I'll just re-pm you
[02:48] <Je> Jordan_U, Thanks you, I wanna marry you :)
[02:48] <dedi> bimberi: is there a chance to copy all network related files to my rootsystem?
[02:49] <Mysticcal> LjL, I installed 7.04, I'm assuming LAMP was already installed?
[02:49] <linxuz3r> !xgl
[02:49] <ec> Help, I installed the wrong video drived, and now my xwindows wont work
[02:49] <Mysticcal> I can SSH to it, just need to know how to get to phpmyadmin
[02:49] <Mysticcal> or something similiar
[02:49] <blind> Jordan_U: same error.
[02:49] <dedi> bimberi: or any aptitude reinstallation files
[02:49] <nexous> What are my options besides gtk and metacity?
[02:50] <bimberi> dedi: from the LiveCD, yes.  Mount the hdd and copy
[02:50] <pmayer> Striking: yeah, that part seems great, but I'm not going to be able to keep this if I can't use some of my windows stuff as well. =( so far I have liked it.
[02:50] <ec> Help, I installed the wrong video drived, and now my xwindows wont work
[02:50] <mikedep333> hello, I am using an app on feisty and it says that a keyboard shortcut is ctrl-alt-next
[02:50] <mikedep333> what is next?
[02:50] <Striking7> pmayer: you can always dual boot, right?
[02:50] <linuxor> Hi,please I need Scanner driver (Benq 5000F), please ,, thank you..
[02:50] <dedi> ec backup your /etc/X11/xorg.conf or edit it under "device" section and put in vesa instead of the new driver device driver name
[02:51] <dedi> bimberi: can you tell me the network related files?
[02:51] <Jordan_U> blind, same error with the Nvidia kernel Module not loading?
[02:51] <Striking7> pmayer:  I started off dual booting and spent most of my time in Windows.  As I learned more about Linux my time was better and better spent there.
[02:51] <bimberi> dedi: or you could chroot onto the HDD and try running apt* to reinstall things
[02:51] <nexous> Do I need to have gnome before I install a windows manager?
[02:51] <pmayer> yeah, once I get windows back on this comp. It had crashed though so I thought I would try Ubuntu out
[02:51] <ec> thanks ill try
[02:51] <bimberi> dedi: apart from what's in /etc/network I'm not really sure sorry.  I'd start there though
[02:51] <Striking7> pmayer: now the only reason I ever reboot is to play a game I can't get running under Linux.  Heck, I even have IE 5.5, 6, and 7 running in Ubuntu so I can test my web pages.
[02:51] <dedi> bimberi: yes, im already chrooted in, but which files is the files is the hard thing :)
[02:52] <j1tters> ok quick question. can someoine tell me how to mount a partition. its my usb drive. its at /dev/sda but its not showing up as mounted. how?
[02:52] <j1tters> please
[02:52] <ANON12345> is there a way to manually change file associations?
[02:52] <Striking7> pmayer: if you need help setting up dual booting you know where to go :)
[02:52] <mikedep333> never mind, it is page down
[02:53] <pmayer> striking: is there just a basic way of installing cd's or should the auto-run feature work if it will install?
[02:53] <Striking7> pmayer: installing Windows programs off of a CD?
[02:53] <blind> Jordan_U: yeah. im gonna try reinstalling the driver, just to see if that works.
[02:54] <pmayer> striking: sure, windows programs. Like an old Win95 program...
[02:54] <Jordan_U> blind, Instead of re-installing from Nvidia.com uninstall then use the restricted driver manager
[02:54] <dedi> j1tters: mount /dev/sda /media/usbstick (create usbstick folder first)
[02:54] <Silveira> Hi guys. I'm using Ubuntu 7.04 and trying to install apache. First I tried apt-get install apache2, but seens that this package isn't avaliable. Tryed in Synaptic too but same result. Any idea? Thanks.
[02:54] <j1tters> ahh create folder first. thanks
[02:54] <Jordan_U> j1tters, sudo mkdir /media/sda && sudo mount /dev/sda /media/sda
[02:54] <nexous> How do I install gnome into server edition/
[02:54] <EarthLion> Silveira why not just use ubuntu server
[02:55] <Striking7> pmayer:  You'll need to install "wine" first - it's a "windows emulator" to simplify
[02:55] <nexous> I want gnome in there, so then I can add fluxbox.
[02:55] <Jordan_U> nexous, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[02:55] <Striking7> pmayer: ever play SNES games on the computer using an emulator?
[02:55] <ashleyperez> does anyone know how to blacklist an rt2600 wireless card?  the default driver keeps freezing my system and doesn't work anyway
[02:55] <pmayer> striking: all the time
[02:55] <EarthLion> nexous http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=186298&page=2
[02:55] <Striking7> pmayer: same concept.
[02:55] <Striking7> pmayer: so to run the install.exe for the windows program,
[02:56] <Jordan_U> !blacklist | ashleyperez
[02:56] <curtwild> his this a help chanel ?
[02:56] <pmayer> striking: and wine is just a package I can download?
[02:56] <Striking7> pmayer: you'd install wine, then run "wine install.exe"
[02:56] <Silveira> EarthLion, I just need to try some things with apache2 and mod_python, have to be in my local ubuntu workspace, thats ubuntu-desktop. There isn't a easy way to install apache in ubuntu?
[02:56] <Jordan_U> curtwild, Yes
[02:56] <Striking7> pmayer: yep.  It's in system->administration->synaptic package manager
[02:56] <ashleyperez> jordon_u: im not sure i know what you mean
[02:56] <Striking7> pmayer:Synaptic has several "repositories" or sources of software
[02:56] <EarthLion> apt-get apache would do it
[02:57] <Striking7> pmayer: the one with wine in it might be disabled by default.  You'd have to go to settings->repositories, and enable "universe" and "multiverse"
[02:57] <j1tters> wont let me past there. ?
[02:57] <Bogaurd> how hard is it to replace the system drive on which I have ubuntu installed?
[02:57] <RAOF> Silveira: Although you'd *actually* want to "sudo apt-get install apache2" :)
[02:57] <spookcomix> Hello all.  I'm trying to run "LiVES," and I'm getting the following error...most of the time (and sometimes, I don't get it...twice the program has run, and I don't know what was different).  The message I get is:  "the playback device "hw:0" is already in use. Please stop the application using it and run JACK again"
[02:58] <Striking7> pmayer: after you enable universe and multiverse, hit the "reload" button in synaptic, and there will be a package named "wine"
[02:58] <j1tters> how do i get it to show up as a drive in thunar file manager?
[02:58] <j1tters> im just trying to backup a drive... sheesh
[02:58] <pmayer> striking: lol sorry to be annoying, but is it just wine or Windows Emulator? Because neither pulled up anything in the search.
[02:59] <Striking7> pmayer: my wife just made a huge mess.  Brb
[02:59] <pmayer> striking: opps missed one of your posts

[03:10] <OverLord> yes
[03:10] <klobster> j1tters : is the drive formated as ext3?
[03:10] <OverLord> I can create folders and stuf...
[03:10] <Jordan_U_> OverLord, Are you using ntfs-3g or something else ?
[03:10] <j1tters> klobster yep
[03:10] <OverLord> this is just when I save from firefox
[03:10] <MrUnleaded> linuxDAN_, try: http://people.kernelcode.com/cwarner/2007/05/16/64-bit-flash-for-firefox-using-swfdec/
[03:10] <krux0> jitters, umount /dev/sda1 (or w/e your usbdrive device is)
[03:10] <kratos12512> Could someone please answer me a quick question?
[03:11] <OverLord> I got the ntfs driver from automatix
[03:11] <j1tters> hm seems to be working.
[03:11] <kratos12512> Is there anyway to get x-fi fatal1ty xtremegamer pro to work in ubuntu?
[03:11] <linuxDAN_> MrUnleaded: thanks
[03:11] <radioaktivstorm> hi, I used automatix to install clamtk...but it has no definitions. pointers?
[03:11] <MrUnleaded> Anyone have any opinion on a free VMware type app?
[03:11] <j1tters> thanks :)
[03:11] <Jordan_U_> !automatix | radioaktivstorm
[03:11] <krux0> jitters, then mount -t vfat -o rw,users,user,umask=002 /dev/sda1 /media/usbdrive
[03:12] <ed1t> is there any m4a to mp3 converter for linux?
[03:12] <j1tters> its copying.
[03:12] <karlpinc> MrUnleaded : There's Xen, but I'm not sure if ubuntu releases a Xen aware kernel.  There's another (I forget) that requires hardware support.
[03:12] <ed1t> or a m4a code plugin
[03:12] <Jordan_U_> radioaktivstorm, We recommend not using Automatix as it is known to break things in ways that are hard to fix
[03:12] <krux0> jitters, how did you get it to work?
[03:12] <Jordan_U_> karlpinc, KVM ?
[03:12] <RAOF> MrUnleaded, karlpinc: Feisty has xen-enabled kernels, and "kvm" (which you need hardware support for)
[03:13] <MrUnleaded> whats better kvm or zen?
[03:13] <OverLord> at the moment Azureus is downloading the torrent on the ntfs drive. It's fine. But cannot save tor. file from Firefox...
[03:13] <Jordan_U_> ed1t, mencoder
[03:13] <MrUnleaded> i mean xen
[03:13] <radioaktivstorm> Jordan_U_ thanks, i guess ill stop using it
[03:13] <Striking7> pmayer: back
[03:13] <karlpinc> MrUnleaded : The jury's still out.  I like the idea of not having to have hardware support, so I can use any old hardware.
[03:13] <MrUnleaded> thanks
[03:14] <Striking7> pmayer: but the bad news is I have to go.  Turned out to be a bigger mess than expected and we'll barely get it cleaned up before we have to lave.
[03:14] <Striking7> *leave
[03:14] <generic_noob01> Is there a way for me to get sound blaster x.fi fatal1ty xtremegamer profess1onal to work with ubuntu?
[03:14] <karlpinc> MrUnleaded : VMWare also has a free version for Linux, but then you're playing your own system integrator because you're not getting all your packages from Ubuntu.
[03:14] <Striking7> pmayer:  search for "wine" and "howto" on www.ubuntuforums.org, you may find more useful info than you expect.
[03:15] <Jordan_U_> MrUnleaded, You can get the free vmware-server from the Official Ubuntu-commercial repository
[03:15] <mattva01> hmm does anyone know how to get freeNX to work on feisty
[03:15] <MrUnleaded> very good
[03:15] <diabolix> anyone here use google calander?
[03:15] <MrUnleaded> i think i may just go with vmware then. Thank you both
[03:16] <generic_noob01> I'm thinking about changing from xp to ubuntu and i would like to know if there's a way to get my sound card to work
[03:16] <Jordan_U_> mattva01, I have had nothing but problems with FreeNX on any distro
[03:16] <ed1t> Jordan_U_, how do i use mencoder?
[03:16] <generic_noob01> I read that there's no official support for it
[03:16] <karlpinc> MrUnleaded : Personally, I share away from the non-free repositories because support may only be for certain releases and so forth.

[03:17] <PanzerMKZ> I am trying to use the ftp command line client. I want to restart a file but it keeps talking to me about offset
[03:17] <diabolix> restart a file?
[03:17] <klobster> !lag ubotu
[03:17] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about lag ubotu - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:17] <diabolix> oh...
[03:17] <Jordan_U_> generic_noob01, And their commercial support is not just some guy with a script and a telephone, it's enterprise grade
[03:17] <PanzerMKZ> yea command is restart offset put (file)
[03:17] <pmayer> striking: you back on?
[03:18] <PanzerMKZ> but I don't know what the offset is
[03:18] <PanzerMKZ> or how to find it
[03:18] <karlpinc> PanzerMKZ : I generally use "wget -c" to continue a download.  YMMV.
[03:18] <PanzerMKZ> I have tried the file ser
[03:18] <diabolix> PanzerMKZ, how far in to the file you want to start
[03:18] <OverLord> hey Jordan ?
[03:18] <PanzerMKZ> ok so I want to put a file not get one
[03:18] <diabolix> PanzerMKZ, in bytes
[03:18] <PanzerMKZ> well that I don't know I can see the file size on the remote machine
[03:18] <karlpinc> PanzerMKZ : Use the "ls -l" command on the partially downloaded file to find out how big it is and start there.
[03:18] <diabolix> PanzerMKZ, ls
[03:18] <mattva01> Jordan_U_ :  generic_noob01 meant for his sound card I think  :)
[03:19] <diabolix> PanzerMKZ, or dir
[03:19] <OverLord> my fstab looks like this....
[03:19] <OverLord> /dev/hda5 /media/win-d ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 2
[03:19] <OverLord> is it fine ?
[03:19] <generic_noob01> I assume that there's not a way to get my sound blaster x-fi fatal1ty xtremegamer profess1onal to work with ubuntu then.
[03:19] <WindowLess> diabolix: thanks
[03:19] <pmayer> can anybody tell me real quick how to run a program in wine or just point me to an online tutorial for it?
[03:19] <PanzerMKZ> well I did that
[03:19] <Jordan_U_> mattva01, Oh, I feel like an idiot now :)
[03:19] <karlpinc> diabolix : (dir is lame, imo.)
[03:19] <PanzerMKZ> and tried the byte before and the one after
[03:19] <PanzerMKZ> and the one that it was on
[03:19] <WindowLess> is there a way to get information on all the USB ports on my computer (back side and front side), to see their status and to know whether there's something wrong with them?
[03:19] <krux0> wine program.exe
[03:19] <diabolix> WindowLess, lsusb
[03:19] <OverLord> hey Jordan?
[03:20] <cabldevil> pmayer:  try google or Ubuntu forums
[03:20] <Jordan_U_> generic_noob01, Sorry, completely missed your earlier posts and misunderstood your question :)
[03:20] <WindowLess> diabolix: thanks once again
[03:20] <WindowLess> how many ls- commands are there diabolix?
[03:20] <Jordan_U_> WindowLess, lspci , sort of does that
[03:20] <OverLord> hey Jordan?
[03:20] <Jordan_U_> WindowLess, *lsusb
[03:21] <karlpinc> WindowLess : type "ls" then hit the tab key twice.
[03:21] <diabolix> WindowLess, dunno, off the top of my head: ls lspci lsusb lsof lshw lspcmcia lsmod
[03:21] <PanzerMKZ> nice
[03:21] <diabolix> those are the useful ones.
[03:21] <PanzerMKZ> thanks folks
[03:21] <OverLord> my fstab looks like this.../dev/hda5 /media/win-d ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0
[03:21] <PanzerMKZ> ok I issue the restart
[03:21] <OverLord> is it ok for rw ?
[03:21] <WindowLess> Jordan_U_: karlpinc diabolix TY
[03:21] <PanzerMKZ> I have to issues the restart and then the byte size
[03:22] <PanzerMKZ> then enter
[03:22] <PanzerMKZ> and then my put
[03:22] <ryanakca> How do you keep someone confined to their home directory? I'm having someone ssh'ing in for irssi, but I don't want them to access the rest of my system...
[03:22] <WindowLess> i did lsusb and it showed only 3 lines. But I have more than 3 USB ports on my computer. what's wrong?
[03:22] <cabldevil> WindowLess:  check bios
[03:22] <WindowLess> cablhow do i check bios?
[03:22] <diabolix> WindowLess, it depends on your controller, i would bet that you don't have more than 3 devices plugged in.
[03:23] <cabldevil> WindowLess:  do you have 9?
[03:23] <karlpinc> ryanakca : Mostly, you don't worry about it.  They should not have permissions to see or change anything they shouldn't.  (Make another user for yourself and try it.)
[03:23] <diabolix> WindowLess, some controllers don't acknowledge extra ports till they are in use.
[03:23] <WindowLess> diabolix: well, some USB ports are currently not being used, yes
[03:23] <WindowLess> cabldevil: let me check
[03:23] <Jordan_U_> ryanakca, Just create an unprivileged user
[03:23] <karlpinc> ryanakca : If you really are worried about it google for "jail" and you'll find lot's of choices.
[03:23] <cabldevil> WindowLess:  as stated before tell us how many are in use
[03:24] <WindowLess> cabldevil: yes, you are right in guessing that I have 9 USB ports. How did you guess?
[03:24] <cabldevil> WindowLess:   It sees the root controller and not the siblings
[03:24] <WindowLess> cabldevil: i currently have one USB port in use: iPod is pluggen in
[03:24] <WindowLess> plugged
[03:24] <OverLord> Jordan .......this is my fstab..../dev/hda5 /media/win-d ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 2       is it ok for rw
[03:24] <cabldevil> WindowLess:  but I bet your only using 3 usb devices
[03:24] <fabiano> #ubuntu-br
[03:25] <cabldevil> WindowLess:  hmmm  ok what chipset
[03:25] <ceeg> if i SSH to a server, and start a program like ./dothis &, how do i make sure it KEEPS RUNNING when i close the terminal i started ssh in?
[03:25] <rollerskatejamms> Can somebody explain to me what a regression is?
[03:25] <diabolix> question to anyone with thoughts: if you could have a calender reminder applet that you click on and it tells you what you have to do that day, would you rather it be a system tray applet or a gnome panel applet? and why?
[03:25] <rollerskatejamms> in terms of bugs and updates and all that
[03:25] <Jordan_U> ceeg, use screen
[03:25] <karlpinc> ceeg:  The lame way is to use the "nohup" command.  The slick way is to use the "screen" command.
[03:25] <Rio> i have a netgear wpn311 rangemax wireless card and i was wondering how i could get it to work.  anyone know?
[03:26] <diabolix> rollerskatejamms, the new code broke something, so they just go back to the old code instead of fixing it.
[03:26] <Jordan_U> rollerskatejamms, It is when something gets worse in a newer version
[03:26] <rollerskatejamms> ok
[03:26] <Mysticcal> sigh, when installing GNOME i chose too large a resolution for my video card, any way to change that?
[03:26] <WindowLess> cabldevil: I'm using only one USB port (for iPod) but lsusb shows 3 lines. PLease see http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22251/
[03:26] <diabolix> system->prefs->res?
[03:26] <Jordan_U> rollerskatejamms, And they don't always go back to old versions
[03:26] <WindowLess> cabldevil: how do i know what chipset i have?
[03:26] <rollerskatejamms> Jordan_U, sometimes they patch it?
[03:26] <OverLord> very busy group :-)
[03:26] <Mysticcal> diablo, I only have promt
[03:27] <Mysticcal> prompt
[03:27] <cabldevil> WindowLess:   your mouse and keyboard are not usb?
[03:27] <Mysticcal> I don't have GUI because my card can't handle it
[03:27] <karlpinc> Mysticcal : Well, there's a config file in /etc/ for xorg, but I'm not really up on it.  It has a setting in it for the default resolution, as well as all choices available.  You _could_ edit it, but make a backup first.
[03:27] <Jordan_U> rollerskatejamms, Yes, and sometimes ( not often depending how bad, but often with wine ) they just don't fix it at all
[03:27] <WindowLess> cabldevil: no. mouse and keyboard are circular thingies
[03:28] <diabolix> Mysticcal, edit /etc/X11/xorgcong, and delete all the sections that are resolutions higher than what you can do (search for 1024x768)
[03:28] <rollerskatejamms> Jordan_U, heh
[03:28] <Savage-{> anybody know how to fix that Flash bug that causes menus to popup behind the flash clips?
[03:28] <cabldevil> k
[03:28] <OverLord> can someone tell me of my fstab is set up fine to rw to a ntfs drive ?
[03:28] <OverLord> /dev/hda5 /media/win-d ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 2
[03:28] <diabolix> Mysticcal, if you are new to linux, try nano as an editor.
[03:28] <Savage-{> OverLord: don't ask to ask
[03:28] <xand_> is there a linux application that can rip audio from dvds such as virtual dub in windows?
[03:28] <asdf> can someone please tell me how to call the theme preferences from the terminal?
[03:28] <cabldevil> WindowLess:  I have to run to eat but It looks like in your bios all the USBs are not turned on  check them and let me know il be back in 20
[03:28] <RAOF> asdf: gnome-theme-manager
[03:28] <ceeg> karlpinc, screen -s dothis?
[03:28] <Jordan_U> diabolix, It might be even easier or him to use: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:29] <Savage-{> OverLord: just letting you know because people won't answer
[03:29] <RAOF> asdf: Or, gnome-<tab><tab> to see all the gnome-* stuff :)
[03:29] <diabolix> Jordan_U, oh... i'm new to debian, old to linux.
[03:29] <asdf> raof: thanks a bunch
[03:29] <wastrel> it's easier to edit the file than go through the wizard
[03:29] <karlpinc> ceeg:  I usually just type "screen".  Then do whatever.  Then something crashes and I have to figure out how to reconnect -- I think "screen -r".  I'm not a screen wiz.
[03:29] <OverLord> well it's a short question....I'm not trying to bug anybody
[03:29] <Rio> anyone know how to get a wireless card running? do i need to be hardwired first?
[03:30] <Sir-Integra> hey, i just downloaded and burnt the newest version of ubuntu
[03:30] <wastrel> the wizard asks a bunch of confusing questions
[03:30] <Sir-Integra> when i click start or install unbunu
[03:30] <Sir-Integra> i get
[03:30] <WindowLess> cabldevil: how do you know that about my bios?
[03:30] <Sir-Integra> i get Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unkown-block (104,1)
[03:30] <Jordan_U> wastrel, Not when you use -phigh, it just asks for driver and resolutions
[03:30] <ryanakca> karlpinc: Jordan_U: I did that... use 'su john' to log in... and I can read all of the files in /home/ryan/ even though my home is /home/john/
[03:30] <KanRiNiN> Hi.  I'm trying to find out how to automount a usb2 hard drive since I have to restart every time I unplug it
[03:30] <KanRiNiN> it's formated with ntfs and uses the ntfs-3g driver
[03:30] <OverLord> I gues I'll heve to google more....
[03:31] <karlpinc> ryanakca : You need to do "su - john" to truely be john.
[03:31] <cabldevil> WindowLess:  reboot and hit either F1 or DEL key to get into the bios
[03:31] <ryanakca> karlpinc: ah, thanks
[03:31] <WindowLess> is there no way to see bios from within ubuntu?
[03:31] <cabldevil> check to see in peripherals  how many usbs are turned on  they may all not be turned on
[03:31] <MrUnleaded> karlpinc, do you know a good site about kvm?
[03:32] <WindowLess> is anybody using gaim here for their irc client?
[03:32] <diabolix> WindowLess, you don't need to see the bios.. chances are nothing is going to change.
[03:32] <ryanakca> karlpinc: hmm... same :S
[03:32] <Mysticcal> OMG nano is a much better then vi -.-
[03:32] <bruenig> hmmm
[03:32] <karlpinc> MrUnleaded : No I don't. Sorry.
[03:32] <diabolix> ryanakca, su john -l
[03:33] <bruenig> vim is better than both
[03:33] <goldbond> hi, is it possible to install a mac .dmg program on ubuntu? if so how?
[03:33] <diabolix> goldbond, no
[03:33] <bruenig> goldbond, no it isn't
[03:33] <mattva01> Mysticcal: Vim is far better then nano or emacs IMO
[03:33] <karlpinc> Mysticcal : (Anything is better than vi, but then I'm an emacs bigot so I figure if I admit it I won't start an argument.)
[03:33] <goldbond> thanks
[03:33] <Sir-Integra> anyone have any idea about my issue?
[03:33] <diabolix> nano!
[03:33] <bruenig> modal editors are nice
[03:33] <Jordan_U> ryanakca, either don't give read permission to everyone or, if you are more paranoid, set up a chroot jail
[03:34] <diabolix> ryanakca, did that work? su john -l?

[03:34] <diabolix> ryanakca, try 'su john -'
[03:34] <OverLord> go ahead
[03:34] <SlimG> Is there an universal command that starts the default web browser regardless of gnome/kde ?
[03:35] <Ronin[GT] > in the past, when i dual booted, i always installed linux first, and did not install LILO or GRUB, and used Windows' boot loader for dual booting.
[03:35] <karlpinc> diabolix : I always put the "-" right after the "su".
[03:35] <diabolix> karlpinc, its supposed to be last.
[03:35] <bruenig> SlimG, perhaps /etc/alternatives/x-www-browser
[03:35] <RAOF> SlimG: I *belive* that "sensible-browser" might be what you're after.
[03:35] <bruenig> SlimG, I think it is /etc/alternatives, it might be another directory
[03:35] <diabolix> karlpinc, man su
[03:35] <Ronin[GT] > i hear that with the latest GRUB, i don't have to worry about that. so i can go ahead and install windows first, and then when i install Ubuntu, GRUB will automatically recognize my windows partition and add it to the list.
[03:35] <Ronin[GT] > is that right?
[03:36] <bruenig> RAOF, sensible browser is text browser
[03:36] <ryanakca> diabolix: bash: -c: option requires an argument
[03:36] <cappicard> damn it... has anyone gotten a lexmark Z515 printer to work with 64-bit?
[03:36] <Jordan_U> Ronin[GT] , Yes
[03:36] <RAOF> bruenig: Oh, that doesn't sound very sensible :)
[03:36] <cabldevil> Ronin[GT] :  yes
[03:36] <diabolix> ryanakca, where did the c come from?
[03:36] <OverLord> if you gt windows installed first, just boot Ubuntu go to install and after installation u sholud have instelled boot loader automaticly
[03:36] <SlimG> bruenig: that works great, thanks
[03:36] <diabolix> ryanakca, 'su -l john'
[03:36] <ryanakca> diabolix: no clue
[03:36] <SlimG> RAOF: thanks, that also works!
[03:37] <Ronin[GT] > ah thanks. so i don't have to go into trouble of copying my bin file over and then adding it manually to my windows bootloader.
[03:37] <ryanakca> Jordan_U: chroot, would that apply to all users? I just want to restrict one
[03:37] <Ronin[GT] > thanks again for the help.
[03:37] <OverLord> don't worry Ronnin just go ahead and install it
[03:37] <diabolix> oh... that error is from bash... wierd

[03:37] <pussfeller> even if i put in the vga moniter thingee its blank

[03:39] <diabolix> ryanakca, it works for me...
[03:39] <Jordan_U> Baalial, sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop --auto-remove
[03:39] <ryanakca> Jordan_U: lol. So, a chroot is kindof like what pbuilder makes?
[03:39] <karlpinc> diabolix : My su man page says the - comes before the username, but that's on an old Debian.  I wouldn't expect ubuntu to be different.
[03:39] <Baalial> How do I change the default boot environment>
[03:39] <j1tters> can someone tell me if redraw is a gpu or cpu issue?
[03:39] <Baalial> oh
[03:39] <Baalial> thanks
[03:39] <diabolix> karlpinc, it is
[03:39] <`AnthraX> im  getting this error: E: The package secondlife-install needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[03:39] <WindowLess> diabolix: i would just like to know why I can't use the USB ports on the front of my computer
[03:39] <ryanakca> diabolix: /bin/su
[03:39] <`AnthraX> when i do sudo apt-get install something
[03:39] <`AnthraX> what is the problem
[03:39] <`AnthraX> :/
[03:39] <mattva01> ryanaka: a chroot is exactly what pbuilder makes :)
[03:39] <WindowLess> how do i update my iPod firmware on Ubuntu?
[03:39] <Baalial> I will reboot and see if it worked
[03:40] <diabolix> WindowLess, probably because they are usb 1.0, and the device needs 2.0
[03:40] <Sir-Integra> mattva01: i can't.. my bad. i get the same error when i try and do that.
[03:40] <ryanakca> diabolix: wierd... you in ssh? (if that makes a difference... dapper, server edition)
[03:40] <diabolix> ryanakca, yes.. it does actually.
[03:40] <Sir-Integra> it tries to load the linux kernel, then stops.
[03:40] <mattva01> Sir-Integra : try burning the CD at a lower speed then
[03:40] <Sir-Integra> mattva01: will try that now
[03:41] <SlimG> What would work on most Linux distros? x-www-browser or sensible-browser ?
[03:41] <Jordan_U> WindowLess, This might help http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Update_iPod_Firmware
[03:41] <mattva01> Sir-Integra : do you know how to do an md5sum ?
[03:41] <j1tters> arg.
[03:41] <diabolix> ryanakca, man su, and see what it says about providing a login environment.
[03:41] <ryanakca> kk
[03:41] <Baalial> Didn't seem to work
[03:41] <klone> hello
[03:41] <WindowLess> diabolix: this computer I'm using is relatively new, and I think that all USB ports are 2.0. Re: the iPod needing a 2.0 port, I don't think so. ON an older computer I synced the iPod on a 1.0 USB port
[03:41] <Baalial> Would just plain sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop work?
[03:41] <j1tters> redraw. do i have a gpu or cpu issue.; anyone?
[03:41] <pewtermoose> I'm having trouble with my Radeon 7000 card and my widescreen LCD - I can get it to do the native 1440x900 resolution with the ATI driver but not the vesa driver, but with the ATI driver, at the native resolution, it keeps going out of range randomly (it switching tabs in firefox)
[03:41] <WindowLess> Jordan_U: thanks
[03:41] <Clubfoot> i installed but it dosent boot
[03:41] <pewtermoose> I've tried about a hundred threads on the forums and nothing's worked
[03:42] <diabolix> WildZeck, no clu...
[03:42] <Sir-Integra> mattva01: what speed would you reccomend?
[03:42] <Baalial> I would fee a lot safer if i knew how to switch the boot environment
[03:42] <darwin81> What is a good and user-friendly minimal desktop-environment?
[03:42] <WindowLess> i can't click on links in gaim. help
[03:42] <gilbert> oli
[03:42] <Sir-Integra> I burnt at 48x, trying 24x now.
[03:42] <Rio> how do i get my wireless card to work if i dont have a card that doesnt have a broadcom chipset?
[03:42] <gilbert> whot is your name???
[03:42] <Savage-{> darwin81: Gnaome
[03:42] <Savage-{> darwin81: gnome
[03:42] <mattva01> Sir-Integra : slower then that , try 8x
[03:42] <gilbert> and your lastname???
[03:42] <diabolix> Sir-Integra, it could be a bad download to.
[03:42] <aroo> Does anyone know why someone on my friends list can't read my Canna characters that I input with SCIM, but he can receive them from others?
[03:43] <Savage-{> darwin81: Enlightenment also
[03:43] <wastrel> pewtermoose:  does the radeon driver work?
[03:43] <Clubfoot> i installed 7.04 and it olny work on cd not on hdd
[03:43] <Savage-{> darwin81: that is lighter
[03:43] <gilbert> whot is your sex???
[03:43] <darwin81> Savage-(: I mean a minimal one for like old computers
[03:43] <Sir-Integra> takes me 2-3 hours to download, i don't fancy downloading it all again :(
[03:43] <mattva01> Sir-Integra ,yeah you should do an md5sum on it
[03:43] <Darksyns> i want to send video from my computer to my television... what software do i need?
[03:43] <diabolix> darwin81, xfce?
[03:43] <cas3> does ubuntu have a packetfence package yet?
[03:43] <Savage-{> darwin81: Enlightenment would work fine and xfce
[03:44] <Sir-Integra> mattva01: i run windows on my main machine, my laptop is the one i'm attempting to run linux on.
[03:44] <pewtermoose> wastrel: not sure - do I have to do anything special to get the radeon driver other than choosing "ati" when configging xserver (I don't remember seeing an option in the list for radeon..)?
[03:44] <wastedfluid> Anyone use gtk-gnutella and can help with a compile issue..?
[03:44] <darwin81> What is the best way to get Enlightenment?
[03:44] <Clubfoot> i need some help installing Ubuntu on HDD
[03:44] <user3431> kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(104,1)
[03:45] <diabolix> darwin81, enlightenment is a bit more intense than xfce.
[03:45] <Jordan_U> wastedfluid, Why compile it from source?
[03:45] <wastrel> pewtermoose:  there should be a "radeon" driver as well as the "ati" driver.
[03:45] <diabolix> darwin81, and a bit less user friendly, imho.
[03:45] <darwin81> What about IceWM?
[03:45] <Savage-{> darwin81: http://www.enlightenment.org/
[03:45] <wastedfluid> Jordan_U: Well, I can't seem to find the 0.96 package.. and Synaptics Package Manager has the old edition that won't connect to the network.
[03:45] <diabolix> darwin81, icewm requires you to edit a text file to edit the menu.
[03:45] <wastrel> darwin81:  icewm is a windowmanager only not a "desktop environment"
[03:45] <Rio> Clubfoot: just pop the cd in and go... otherwise, youll have to be more specific
[03:45] <ubuntubeginz> Clubfoot: use something to partition ur disk...like Acronis...with ext3 partition...
[03:46] <Savage-{> how old is the PC?
[03:46] <Savage-{> that has everything to do with this question
[03:46] <wastedfluid> I can't find a package to install it 64bit wise.. The only "packages" for the 64bit are older and won't connect
[03:46] <nomasteryoda|w> Clubfoot, there is a free live CD of gparted
[03:46] <nomasteryoda|w> works very well
[03:46] <ubuntubeginz> Clubfoot: if u r dual booting dat is,,,,, else if a new machine...just follow Rio' suggestion//
[03:46] <Clubfoot> partition in what format^
[03:46] <pewtermoose> wastrel: I don't have a radeon option when running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:47] <Crankymonky> Was disks-admin removed in Feisty?  From both the default install and the repos?
[03:47] <pewtermoose> wastrel: (running feisty)
[03:47] <Clubfoot> i will go for a dual boot
[03:47] <Clubfoot> i have xp
[03:47] <MadProgrammer> hi?

[03:48] <Clubfoot> more than one partition
[03:48] <diabolix> cat /proc/partitions
[03:48] <darwin81> Would Enlightenment run quickly on a Pentium III with 256 MB of ram?
[03:48] <Sandra> Hello
[03:48] <Darksyns> i want to send video from my computer to my television... what software do i need?
[03:48] <Clubfoot> 60 g x 5
[03:48] <Sandra> Could anyone help me?
[03:48] <Jordan_U> polto, #kubuntu for KDE
[03:48] <Sandra> I have tons of problems I am totally new
[03:48] <endra> Hello
[03:48] <linuxmasta> When I try to run quake4 it says "error while loading shared libraries: libX11.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory." But /usr/lib/libX11.so.6 exists as a symlink to libX11.so.6.2.0. What's the problem and/or where else is it looking?
[03:48] <endra> Does ubuntu use aptitude?
[03:49] <Sandra> Hello endra
[03:49] <diabolix> darwin81, rasterman (the guy who writes enlightenment) develops it on a p3 with 512 ram.. so probably.
[03:49] <dawn_chorus> Sandra, let's start with the simplest one first.  :()
[03:49] <Sandra> ok
[03:49] <Jordan_U> endra, Yes ( and apt-get /dpkg )
[03:49] <Sandra> the graphics driver does not run
[03:49] <Rio> Clubfoot i have two harddrive, but i installed xp and ubuntu on a single harddrive and used the 2nd harddrive for backup. if thats what you want to do, i would install xp first, then install ubuntu and edit the partition manually
[03:49] <Sandra> Nvidia Gforce fore mx
[03:49] <Sandra> four
[03:49] <xand_> is there a linux application that can rip audio from dvds such as virtual dub in windows?
[03:49] <polto> Jordan_U, on #kubuntu whey do not know. :) and it's same on ubuntu. i just need to automount them  all.
[03:49] <Rio> anyone know how to get their wireless card running?
[03:49] <linuxmasta> xand_, mencoder
[03:50] <dawn_chorus> Sandra, you're not using nv are you?
[03:50] <linuxmasta> or maybe even mplayer itself
[03:50] <Clubfoot> well i installed it before without xp and ERROR LOADING OS
[03:50] <MadProgrammer> Anyone know about viewing connections with nautlaus over ssh?
[03:50] <Baalial> How do I set my computer to boot automatically onto Gnome when I already have a KDE environment set up to boot??
[03:50] <Darksyns> does anyone know how to get my desktop to show on my television,,.. it does it during boot up, but it stops at the login screen
[03:50] <diabolix> linuxmasta, try "env LD_PRELOAD= /usr/lib/libX11.so.6 quake4"
[03:50] <xand_> linuxmasta: really? i'll take a look, thanks
[03:51] <dawn_chorus> Baalial, just change your session at login.  There'll be a dialog asking you if you want ot make GNOME the default.
[03:51] <pewtermoose> Maybe I should just dust off an old CRT instead of fighting with this retarded resolution
[03:51] <scorpyo> que onda
[03:51] <yanger> hi, trying to automount external usb hdds but not working, i tried to access the System -> Preferences -> Removable Drives and Media, but i get the error message: Volume management not supported ... but i see hald in ps
[03:51] <Jordan_U> polto, So you want to automount every partition available?
[03:51] <linuxmasta> diabolix, does that only work as root? I'd rather run as my user
[03:51] <Sandra> I use Xchat
[03:51] <Baalial> I see no dialog box when I login to GNOME
[03:51] <Rio> Clubfoot ahh... sometimes i have had trouble loading ubuntu because of some kind of error. so, i ended up downloading the image from another place other than a US site ie europe
[03:51] <Sandra> shall I log on again?
[03:51] <Baalial> I only see the box that asks me to enable internet access
[03:51] <diabolix> linuxmasta, no.. it should work as user.
[03:51] <endra> Thank you.
[03:51] <scorpyo> alguien tiene ya la de piratas del caribe 3
[03:51] <Sandra> I went to a room with you
[03:51] <Jordan_U> yanger, Is it formatted NTFS?
[03:51] <Sandra> chatroom
[03:51] <Clubfoot> got it from torrent file
[03:51] <dawn_chorus> Baalial, that's because you haven't changed your session.  :)
[03:51] <linuxmasta> diabolix, hmm got Permission denied
[03:52] <scorpyo> nadie habla espaol
[03:52] <Xbehave> do /tmp and /var get preserverd across a boot?
[03:52] <Baalial> ??
[03:52] <yanger> Jordan_U, nah, 2 of my drives were jfs, and the other was fat
[03:52] <Rio> Clubfoot torrents? ummm...id get it off the ubuntu website
[03:52] <Baalial> So what session do I change it to..? :'(
[03:52] <Clubfoot> works well on live cd
[03:52] <Sandra> here I see channel #ubuntu on the left side and dawn_chorus
[03:52] <Rio> ohhh
[03:52] <scorpyo> no mamen
[03:52] <Rio> Clubfoot yeah..same thing happeed to me
[03:52] <Darksyns> does anyone know how to get my desktop to show on my television,,.. it does it during boot up, but it stops at the login screen
[03:52] <Rio> Clubfoot live cd works but install fails
[03:52] <linuxmasta> Darksyns, nvidia card?
[03:52] <Sandra> dawn are you there?
[03:52] <user3431> kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(104,1)
[03:52] <Darksyns> yes
[03:52] <Darksyns> its a lame one
[03:53] <polto> Jordan_U, i think it the way to do what i want.  i have my modified DVD, it boot, work etc... but: my goal now is to show computer's windows and linux partitions on the desktop to give the user the possibility to mount (or open if already mounted) it by a simple click.
[03:53] <Sandra> plse just tell me which one i should use...
[03:53] <linuxmasta> Darksyns, install the drivers and use twinview
[03:53] <dawn_chorus> Sandra, yeah.  what's up?
[03:53] <user3431> anyone know why it won't install?
[03:53] <Darksyns> geforce fx 5200
[03:53] <diabolix> linuxmasta, run 'sudo chmod +r  /usr/lib/libX11.so.6', and try running it normally.
[03:53] <Rio> =Clubfoot download again from another site and verify your image when you have burned it to a disk...if you are using nero
[03:53] <Sandra> can we go to a "private channel I typed there
[03:53] <Sandra> it confuses me here
[03:53] <Sandra> Please
[03:53] <Sandra> I typed there
[03:53] <Darksyns> is it in synaptic?
[03:53] <Sandra> did you get it
[03:53] <Darksyns> twinview?
[03:53] <Sandra> I doubleclicked your name
[03:53] <mwshead> Has anyone had any luck getting Ubuntu running on a Shuttle motherboard?  I'm having trouble getting the Realteck 8201 ethernet card to show up.  any suggestions?
[03:53] <linuxmasta> diabolix, permission denied again on the LD_PRELOAD
[03:53] <Clubfoot> what OS do you recomemnd
[03:54] <Jordan_U> polto, For one, you should have ntfs-config installed by default then
[03:54] <Baalial> I will try out what you say Dawn
[03:54] <Baalial> I will be right back
[03:54] <Rio> Clubfoot uhhh... what do you mean?  depends what you want.  personally, i have xp installed with ubuntu 7.04 desktop
[03:54] <linuxmasta> Darksyns, it's part of the official drivers
[03:54] <diabolix> linuxmasta, weird... what does ls -l  /usr/lib/libX11.so.6 say?
[03:55] <Darksyns> hrm i have the drivers installed
[03:55] <darwin81> How can I completely erase a hard drive?
[03:55] <fabian__> hi+
[03:55] <linuxmasta> Darksyns, http://www.schotty.com/wordpress/?page_id=7
[03:55] <dawn_chorus> Sandra, type /j #Sandra
[03:55] <linuxmasta> Darksyns, take a gander; that'll at least give you an idea
[03:56] <Savage-{> darwin81: mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1
[03:56] <Clubfoot> i dont want XP no more i just want Linux i Formated installed everything worked well but on restart didnt bot
[03:56] <linuxmasta> diabolix, it's a symbolic link, but I'll give you the output
[03:56] <Rio> darwin81 is it a second harddrive?if so, you should install gparted
[03:56] <Savage-{> darwin81: needs to be unmounted
[03:56] <linuxmasta> diabolix, lrwxrwxrwx
[03:56] <diabolix> linuxmasta, run 'sudo chmod +r /usr/lib/libX11.so.6.2.0', and try again
[03:56] <Rio> Clubfoot then i dont know... ubuntu 7.04 works fine for me
[03:57] <Rio> Clubfoot is that what you were running?
[03:57] <mwshead> I'm having trouble getting the Realteck 8201 ethernet card to show up.  Any suggestions?
[03:57] <diabolix> actually.. this shouldn't even be an issue.. if you can run programs, libx11 should be fine...
[03:57] <Baalial> Dawn_Chorus, I found out that Gnome is the default login
[03:57] <Sandra> dawn I did
[03:57] <linuxmasta> diabolix, currently that file is -rw-r--r--
[03:57] <Savage-{> get a different network card :)
[03:57] <diabolix> hmm..
[03:57] <diabolix> weird..
[03:57] <Baalial> But, when I turn on my copmuter, then it loads up Kubuntu
[03:57] <Darksyns> that page doesnt say what to edit? xorg?
[03:57] <linuxmasta> diabolix, I thought maybe quake4 was looking elsewhere for the file, but that location is pretty standard
[03:57] <Baalial> I hope to get it to load up in Gnome, so I can remove Kubuntu safely
[03:57] <darwin81> If you delete with GParted it's still possible to recover partitions
[03:57] <Clubfoot> yes 7.04
[03:57] <linuxmasta> diabolix, could be a problem with 64bit-32bit?
[03:57] <mwshead> Savage--I may, but it is on the mother board and it is very limited on the number of PCI slots.  I'll have to get another mother board if I can't get it to work.
[03:58] <polto> Jordan_U, ok, i'll install ntfs-config, but how to make it automounted and also the same for linux partition ?
[03:58] <dawn_chorus> Baalial, yes.  'sudo aptitude remove kubuntu-desktop'
[03:58] <linuxmasta> diabolix, this is a buddy's box; I'm trying to help him out
[03:58] <Jordan_U> Baalial, Just switch the default session to gnome from gdm
[03:58] <wastedfluid> Anyone recommend a decent gnutella client w/ a GUI?  I can' get GTK-Gnutella to work.
[03:58] <fabiosarts> generally boot disks have an /linux package file with /bin/bash, kernel and other files, how to get it?
[03:58] <hendrixski> crap, I can't get Evolution to decrypt my gpg key from launchpad
[03:58] <diabolix> linuxmasta, ubuntu64?
[03:58] <Rio> Clubfoot well if it WAS workig fine, and reboot failed... then i have no idea. maybe someone else can help
[03:58] <Noodlesgc> anyone here know of a good dvd ripper for Linux?
[03:59] <linuxmasta> diabolix, I believe just ubuntu
[03:59] <Savage-{> mwshead: do lsmod in the console and type it like this and tell me if you find e100 or e1000 - lsmod |grep e100
[03:59] <Clubfoot> thanks Rio
[03:59] <Rio> anyone know how to get their network card working?  i dont think it has a broadcom chipset
[03:59] <Rio> np Clubfoot
[03:59] <MadProgrammer> ndiswrapper?
[03:59] <ed1t> how do i get quicktime ?
[03:59] <Rio> are you talking to me MadProgrammer?

[04:00] <mwshead> Savage-{, it doesn't show anything.
[04:00] <Rio> Clubfoot i dont know
[04:00] <linuxmasta> diabolix, I'm not familiar with 64bit so this is all greek
[04:00] <Jordan_U> ed1t, Just double click on a .mov file and Ubuntu should install the needed codecs automatically
[04:00] <MadProgrammer> rio Ndiswrapper lets you use windows drivers in linux
[04:00] <Rio> MadProgrammer how would i know
[04:00] <Savage-{> mwshead: ok now try lspci |grep e100
[04:00] <diabolix> linuxmasta, thats the problem.. most games are 32.. i highly recoment not using 64bit ubuntu.
[04:00] <Rio> MadProgrammer ohh. thats a program that i can install thru synaptic?
[04:01] <Noodlesgc> dvd ripping anyone??
[04:01] <MadProgrammer> rio. I think so.
[04:01] <mwshead> Savage-{, nothing there either.
[04:01] <linuxmasta> diabolix, ah I see, I had a hunch, but no experience really. Alright, bro, thanks for the info
[04:01] <MadProgrammer> Rio. I installed mine from source.
[04:01] <Savage-{> dvd::rip

[04:02] <Jordan_U> Rio, Check in System -> Preferences -> Hardware information
[04:02] <ajmorris_> is it possible to format an external hard disk from the CLI?
[04:02] <Savage-{> mwshead: oh i'm sorry I mean - lspci |grep ethernet
[04:02] <firefly2442> Can anyone recommend some good PHP bittorrent trackers?
[04:02] <Madsy> I can't find gtk+ or gtkglext. Is there a backport available?
[04:02] <Jordan_U> ajmorris_, Yes
[04:02] <Noodlesgc> anathematic, utorrent with Wine

[04:04] <linuxnub> the problem is my system dont recognize the dvd player at all
[04:04] <Savage-{> mwshead: what distro?
[04:04] <linuxnub> its not a codec issue
[04:04] <mwshead> Savage-{, Hm.  I guess not.  I'm using 7.04 desktop
[04:04] <Savage-{> mwshead: oh hehe we are in ubuntu
[04:05] <Savage-{> mwshead: ok, hmm
[04:05] <ed1t> Savage-{, im trying to play http://tv-links.co.uk/link.do/1/1/6/26405/41026 in firefox
[04:05] <gravemind> how do I change my external IP?
[04:05] <linuxnub> yes i have done eveything on that link already
[04:05] <linuxnub> no joy
[04:05] <Savage-{> mwshead: try modprobe e100
[04:05] <wastrel> gravemind:  your isp controls that.
[04:05] <Jordan_U> ed1t, No wonder it can't play, I am getting a 404 for that video file :)
[04:06] <ubotu> linuxnub: 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
[04:06] <Chetwin> Hi all.  My computer seems to be locking up at random.  Any suggestions?
[04:06] <defcon> any good ways to optimize ubuntu
[04:06] <ed1t> Jordan_U, it works for me
[04:06] <yanger> how can i restart hald?
[04:06] <mwshead> Savage-{, still nothing.
[04:06] <ed1t> Jordan_U, i mean the link opens
[04:06] <linuxnub> i have libdvdcss2 already  installed
[04:06] <Killox> Hey gang, quick question for the room:  I'm using the latest version of Ubuntu (feisty) but I'm looking for a DVD backup utility to replace my Windows utilities  Any suggestions?
[04:06] <linuxnub> no dice
[04:06] <Jordan_U> ed1t, Same for me, but the video file itself is just a 404
[04:06] <Flannel> !dvd | Killox
[04:06] <ubotu> Killox: 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
[04:06] <Chetwin> Hi all.  My computer seems to be locking up at random.  Any suggestions?
[04:06] <Savage-{> mwshead: ok in the System -> Preferences menu there is a Hardware Information app
[04:06] <Savage-{> see if you see it in there
[04:06] <Toma-> Chetwin: are you using nvidia drivers?
[04:07] <ed1t> Jordan_U, i tried to open .mov file it didnt automatically install plugins
[04:07] <Chetwin> Toma-: Yes, but the render accel option doesn't seem to help (enabled or disabled)
[04:07] <Jordan_U> ed1t, Are you running Feisty?
[04:07] <ed1t> yes
[04:07] <linuxnub> lol ive installed every dvd codec on all those links and installed gzine and setup the multimedia tab on removable drives, etc etdf
[04:07] <linuxnub> it still dont work
[04:07] <ed1t> Jordan_U, it opened in totem
[04:07] <Jordan_U> ed1t, Do you have a link to the .mov file?
[04:07] <mwshead> Savage-{, Ok let me look through it.  I don't see anything right off.
[04:07] <Savage-{> mwshead: under the PCI Bridge
[04:07] <linuxnub> the gzine setup wizard fails for DVD
[04:08] <Chetwin> Toma- Should I be using False, false, or 0 for the value anyway?
[04:08] <ed1t> Jordan_U, i just downloaded some random .mov file to test it out
[04:08] <dburger> anyone having success with adm8211 chipset wireless card under feisty?
[04:08] <Jordan_U> ed1t, And did it play?
[04:08] <Noodlesgc> Chetwin, my computer locks when i enable nvidia drivers, so i just disabled it
[04:08] <ed1t> no it didnt play
[04:08] <linuxnub> the gzine setup wizard says a symlink needs to be created for /dev/dvd and i dont know how to do that
[04:08] <Toma-> Chetwin: try using the nv driver and see if that resolves the issue.
[04:08] <Chetwin> Noodlesgc: Then I can't play games!
[04:08] <Chetwin> I want to play games tho.
[04:08] <Toma-> Chetwin: not indefinitely, just to make certain its the nvidia driver :)
[04:08] <pewtermoose> radeon 7000, ati drivers run LCD at native resolution (1440x900) but keep flashing to black going out of range when changing between apps, tabs in firefox, etc; vesa driver won't do 1440x900 no matter what I've tried - suggestions?
[04:08] <Chetwin> It acutally ONLY happens when I'm playing music
[04:08] <Noodlesgc> yeah that is a problem, but im not really a gamer
[04:09] <gravemind> wastrel: I know that they are sometimes dynamically assigned - is there a way to get another one dynamically assigned
[04:09] <Toma-> Chetwin: well, swtick to nv and play some music for a while
[04:09] <Toma-> *switch
[04:09] <wastrel> pewtermoose:  radeon driver- you'll have to change it in xorg.conf if you don't get it in the debconf thingy
[04:09] <Xbehave> does temp get wiped on reboot? or is it persistent?
[04:09] <Chetwin> And if it still locks up?
[04:09] <mwshead> Savage-{, Ok I've got two PCI-toPCI bridge entries.  The show up like a network card.
[04:09] <Xbehave> e.g can i have a shared tmp directory?
[04:09] <Jordan_U> ed1t, You can install the windows version of quicktime through wine but I havn't found a video so far that totem or vlc can't play
[04:09] <Toma-> Chetwin: then we'll talk
[04:10] <ed1t> Jordan_U, maybe i dont have right codecs installed?
[04:10] <Savage-{> mwshead: this is what mine says "82562EZ 10/100 Ethernet Controller"
[04:10] <Chetwin> It may not happen for an hour, but it could be as quick as 15 min
[04:10] <Savage-{> mwshead that means the mod isn't loaded
[04:10] <Jordan_U> ed1t, That's the strange part, it should install the needed codecs automatically when you try to play a movie you don't have codecs for
[04:10] <wangwei> 
[04:10] <Savage-{> I think, i'm not sure if it can see past the driver or now
[04:10] <mwshead> Savage-{, Hm.  What version of ubuntu are you using?
[04:11] <linuxnub> so can anyone please help me to get my dvd player working knowing that i have already done all the steps on the help pages links
[04:11] <Savage-{> mwshead: 7.04
[04:11] <lgc> Help! My  Dapper eats up memory Windows Vista-like. Is it normal?
[04:11] <wastrel> gravemind:  it depends on your isp  you could try disconnecting/reconnecting or release/renew your dhcp lease.
[04:11] <Killox> Flannel, do you have a link to !dvd?  I cant find it using google :)
[04:11] <mwshead> Savage-{, Is it a shuttle mother board or something else?
[04:11] <Toma-> Chetwin: theres alot of things that can cause lockups. hopefully its something minor. i get a few lockups here thanks to the crap-tacular nvidia drivers
[04:11] <Jordan_U> linuxnub, Does it work for Data DVD's ?
[04:11] <Chetwin> You know what MIGHT be happening...  I just thought of this.  it's cuz I leave the computer running while I'm getting ready in the morning, playing music.  It might lock up when the screen switches to screensaver mode
[04:11] <linuxnub> yes it works for data CD's only
[04:11] <nouri> lgc: Check System -> Administration -> System Monitor
[04:11] <nouri> lgc: Look at the processes and order them by memory consumption
[04:12] <linuxnub> my /etc/fstab lists it as /dev/scd0    /media/cdrom0
[04:12] <Jordan_U> linuxnub, And it works in another OS?
[04:12] <Toma-> Chetwin: quite possibly.
[04:12] <kitche> Killox: !dvd is a switch for ubotu follow the links that ubotu gives you
[04:12] <Savage-{> mwshead: mine is a Dell motherboard
[04:12] <zcutlip|laptop> anybody have suggestions for troubleshooting automounting of usb drives?  I assume the problem is related to gnome-volume-manager
[04:12] <linuxnub> yes it works flawlessly in suse, sabayon, gentoo, slackware, and pclos
[04:12] <Savage-{> mwshead: and I haven't had any issues ever with linux
[04:12] <lgc> nouri, I did that. But no big deal. The sum of the used memory by the individual processes doesn't even come close to that reported by 'top'.
[04:12] <Ashnal> Hi
[04:13] <Nwallins> I came home from work today, and my Feisty machine was off (unusual).  When I powered her on, she took a long time to boot, with a blinking cursor in the top left, and then gnome ran slow as a dog.  Program launch times were a minute or two.  Once loaded, they seemed to run fairly normally.  top and ps show nothing funky, and I checked a bunch of logs in /var/log.  cpu utilization was normal, cpu temp was normal, all my ram was showing, 40% used
[04:13] <Savage-{> mwshead: I would do a google search to find something about that motherboard and the network card in linux
[04:13] <Killox> Thanks Kitche!  You are a great help!
[04:13] <Ashnal> Im in need of some assistance from you linux gurus
[04:13] <Jordan_U> linuxnub, What happens when you try to mount it manually?
[04:13] <Chetwin> So if it fixes it with the nv driver, whats my next option
[04:13] <Savage-{> mwshead: weird most network cards work fine with me in linux
[04:13] <Jordan_U> !ask | Ashnal
[04:13] <ubotu> Ashnal: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:13] <linuxnub> it spins and spins and then stops with message "no media present"
[04:13] <mwshead> Savage-{, Ok thanks for your help.
[04:13] <Savage-{> mwshead: np
[04:13] <zcutlip|laptop> when i boot off the live cd, usb thumbdrives get mounted automagically.  however in my regular session, they do not.
[04:14] <vbabiy> hey guys is there is site with a nice walk through on how to setup Ubuntu server with a gui
[04:14] <bruenig> vbabiy, what specifically do you want?
[04:14] <lgc> nouri?
[04:15] <bruenig> vbabiy, the gui is just sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[04:15] <Savage-{> vbabiy: just learn aptitude and apt and that is all your need
[04:15] <Crankymonky> Was disks-admin removed in Feisty?  From both the default install and the repos?
[04:15] <zcutlip|laptop> ^ suggestions?
[04:15] <Killox> !dvd
[04:15] <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
[04:15] <Ashnal> well, my ubuntu edgy installation was pissing me off, i installed beryl a while back, and now when it starts edgy it completely freezes up, i didnt feel like fixing it and used gparted liv CD to just delete the patition. Now when the compute starts, grub gives me an error 22
[04:15] <nouri> lgc: No idea, sorry... do you see the process not in top, then?
[04:16] <Jordan_U> Ashnal, What did you expect it to do with the partition deleted?
[04:16] <zcutlip|laptop> so far, i have: created a new admin user and get the same results.  checked gnome-volume-properties, and all appropriate options are checked
[04:16] <blk-majik> I'm having install issues on a NP Netserver LP2000r. Its consistant (CDROM stops reading at the same point after CDROM detection. Tried 2 drives and cables, both interfaces). Is there a method of isntalling that doesnt require a cdrom, ie via network/internet?
[04:16] <mwshead> Savage-{, Ok I feel like an idiot.  Some how the ethernet port was turned off in the BIOS.  Thanks for your help.  I have a better idea of how to troubleshoot network card issues in the future.
[04:16] <blk-majik> s/NP/HP
[04:17] <lgc> nouri, I do see the processes in 'top', and with the system monitor. But the latter doesn't display the total memory used, as 'top' does. When I sum up I get a fourfold difference.
[04:17] <Ashnal> so i need help reinstalling grub
[04:17] <pewtermoose> wastrel: I changed "ati" to "radeon" in xorg.conf but it seems to have made it worse - is there any specific "radeon" driver I need to install (since I don't have one listed when going thru dpkg-reconfigure); the only thing that seems to come up when googling a radeon driver is fglrx but I don't think that even supports my old video card
[04:17] <Jordan_U> Ashnal, When you re-install Ubuntu it will re-install GRUB, or do you have another OS that you are trying to boot?
[04:18] <linuxnub> so is there some fstab or mtab entry i need to do to get my ubuntu system to "see" my dvd drive?
[04:18] <Savage-{> mwshead: lol
[04:18] <thekernel> hello
[04:18] <dawn_chorus> linuxnub, yes.
[04:18] <Savage-{> mwshead: it happens to the best of us sometimes :)
[04:18] <wastrel> pewtermoose:  "radeon" is the name of the driver. i don't know what other tweaks might help, sorry.
[04:18] <bruenig> linuxboy, did you try to mount it?
[04:18] <linuxnub> yes ive tried mounting it and get error messages
[04:19] <linuxnub> "no media present"
[04:19] <Ashnal> Well, i didnt want to reinstall ubuntu, i was hoping to just get rid of it and maybe go to feisty at a later date, but for now i just want to be able to boot windows XP
[04:19] <linuxnub> with dvd in it
[04:19] <lgc> Flannel, hi! Are you familiar with memory management?
[04:19] <bruenig> linuxboy, are you certain you are using the right device name
[04:19] <linuxnub> ??
[04:19] <pewtermoose> wastrel: okay, thanks though
[04:19] <thekernel> can some one tell me where can i get xchat for my ubuntu 6.10
[04:19] <linuxnub> fstab = /dev/scd0    /media/cdrom0
[04:19] <bruenig> linuxnub, put your dvd in, then wait a few seconds and do dmesg and see what it calls
[04:19] <bruenig> it
[04:20] <linuxnub> k doin taht buenig
[04:20] <artabrahao> hi, the vncviewer works fine in ubuntu, but when I type vncserver appears command not fount. What can it be?
[04:20] <Jordan_U> Ashnal, Then you should just use the XP install CD recovery mode and do "fixmbr" ( I think ) to get rid of grub all-together
[04:20] <Savage-{> Ashnal: to reinstall grub do - grub-install /dev/<yourdrive>
[04:20] <lgc> Jordan_U, you, maybe?
[04:20] <Jordan_U> Savage-{, He doesn't have an ext3 partition for his /boot/menu.list
[04:20] <Baalial> Sorry, Dawn, still having the problem
[04:20] <Baalial> I uninstalled the Kubuntu environment
[04:20] <Savage-{> Jordan_U: oh, ok
[04:21] <Ashnal> i dont have an XP recovery cd
[04:21] <Baalial> And synaptic doesn't sense Kubuntu-desktop anymore
[04:21] <Jordan_U> lgc, What about me?
[04:21] <ed1t> http://tv-links.co.uk/link.do/1/1/6/26405/41026 works in windows firefox but not ubuntu firefox
[04:21] <Ashnal> and as for savages suggestion i dont know what would replace <yourdrive>
[04:21] <Baalial> But when I boot, it loads up into the Kubuntu splash screen
[04:22] <dawn_chorus> Baalial, i guess you may have to remove kdm from the rc list.
[04:22] <Baalial> the rc list?
[04:22] <Savage-{> Ashnal: /dev/sda for SCSI drives and /dev/hda for IDE
[04:22] <lgc> Jordan_U, I've been asking around who is familiar with memory management. I remember you've helped me out some other time(s).
[04:22] <Ashnal> would it be hda1?
[04:22] <Ashnal> o just hda?
[04:22] <Savage-{> if you install to the boot record of that partition
[04:22] <Baalial> What is the rc list?
[04:22] <linuxnub> [   37.966755]  scsi 1:0:0:0: CD-ROM            SONY     CD-RW  CRX230EE  2YS8 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5
[04:22] <linuxnub> thats what dmesg says
[04:23] <Jordan_U> Ashnal, Ok, you will need to create an ext3 partition because GRUB needs one to hold it's configuration file ( /boot/grub/menu/lst ) then install GRUB ( So the easiest thing to do is to just re-install Ubuntu )
[04:23] <dawn_chorus> Baalial, it's what cool things at boot.  but it should work the way I was saying, so something may be buggy.
[04:23] <VoX> Baalial: apt-get install usplash
[04:23] <Baalial> ok
[04:23] <Savage-{> Ashnal: I usually just go to grub console so I can't remember exactly
[04:23] <Baalial> Ok
[04:24] <Baalial> It says I already have the most uptodate one
[04:24] <Baalial> So none were updated, and nothign was created
[04:24] <psYchotic> hello everyone, I could use a little help. A little while ago, I decided to compile the kernel myself, and it worked perfectly fine, except for this one thing that disturbs me: the packages created by make-kpkg are a LOT bigger than the ones in the repositories. Example, linux-image-blabla.deb is 193MB...
[04:24] <VoX> Baalial: apt-get remove ksplash
[04:24] <Savage-{> Ashnal: yeah reinstall ubuntu
[04:24] <Baalial> ok
[04:24] <Ashnal> so is there a way to get rid of grub without a win xp cd?
[04:24] <Savage-{> Ashnal: format it too
[04:25] <Nwallins> I came home from work today, and my Feisty desktop machine was off.  When I powered her on, she took a long time to boot, with a blinking cursor in the top left for more than 30 seconds, and then gnome ran slow as a dog.  Program launch times were a minute or two.  Once loaded, they seemed to run fairly normally.  top and ps show nothing funky, and I checked a bunch of logs in /var/log.  cpu utilization was normal, cpu temp was normal, all my ra
[04:25] <Baalial> Removing...
[04:25] <Jordan_U> Ashnal, No easy way
[04:25] <Baalial> Done
[04:25] <Baalial> What should I do now Dawn?
[04:25] <VoX> Baalial: then apt-get install --reinstall usplash
[04:25] <Ashnal> well, can you at least point me in the right direction?
[04:25] <Savage-{> google :)
[04:26] <Baalial> reinstalling...
[04:26] <Savage-{> Google is the God of all knowing :)
[04:26] <Ashnal> ah yes, google is mans new best friend
[04:26] <Baalial> Completed
[04:26] <VoX> Baalial: now reboot and you should see the correct splash screen
[04:26] <agentnewb> hey any firefox users here that use user agent switcher plugin?
[04:26] <Baalial> Is that all that needs to be done Dawn?
[04:26] <Baalial> Ok
[04:26] <artabrahao> hi, the vncviewer works fine in ubuntu, but when I type vncserver appears command not fount. What can it be?
[04:27] <scoobydoo28139> crimsun: did you find the error on the sound card?

[04:34] <bknitram> scoobydoo28139, ./file.sh
[04:34] <Baalial> But now, when I boot up, the loading bar says "Ubuntu"
[04:34] <alia> hello
[04:34] <scoobydoo28139> bknitram: do i haver to tell it to look in a cd drive?
[04:34] <kitche> SurfnKid: what's your problem?
[04:34] <neoice> any ideas why I'm having so many issues with mounting CDs in server 7.04?
[04:34] <scoobydoo28139> *have
[04:34] <bknitram> scoobydoo28139, You must cd to the cd drive
[04:35] <Savage-{> neoice: type in console: mount and see if it is mounted
[04:35] <nelsonuwp> what is better.. desklet or widget
[04:35] <neoice> yeah, it clearly isnt
 I have installed all vnc packages via synaptic
[04:35] <Savage-{> neoice: type: mount /dev/hdc
[04:35] <bknitram> scoobydoo28139, Should cd /media/cdrom
[04:36] <neoice> salvage: I'll try mounting it several times and it wont work and then a few boots later it will
[04:36] <timmyd> can mkinitrd put devfs into the initrd image?
[04:36] <neoice> salvage: no media
[04:36] <SurfnKid> kitche, well i removed the swap  with swapoff -a and the memory kicks in with no swap. Thats all good. However the Ubuntu menu doesnt paint properly, I cant see Places/System all that good, I can access them but its funny it only does it when the swap is off
[04:36] <SurfnKid> kitche, I removed the swap using the vm.swappiness or something set to 0
[04:36] <Savage-{> neoice: CD in the drive?
[04:36] <neoice> salvage: also no media in /media/cdrom, cdrom
[04:37] <neoice> indeed
[04:37] <Jordan_U> artabrahao, I have vncserver from the package "vncserver", just to triple check, try: sudo apt-get install vncserver
[04:37] <neoice> salvage: excuse me, no mediUM
[04:37] <AliaDr> lll
[04:37] <Savage-{> neoice: it sounds like a CD problem
[04:37] <scoobydoo28139> weird, no such directory...
[04:37] <kitche> SurfnKid: hmm soudns liek you need swap then :)
[04:37] <Savage-{> neoice: try another CD
[04:38] <neoice> salvage: but it happens with multiple CDs and sometimes works automatically
[04:38] <Clarrisa_2008> how do I search for a folder on my linux/ubuntu box?  I'm logged in as root.
[04:38] <scoobydoo28139> will screen shot work in paste bin?
[04:38] <neoice> salvage: in both drives too, regardless of configuration (1, 1+2, 2)
[04:39] <wastedfluid> Hi guys.  I'm giving in.. I had the 64-bit edition of Ubuntu installed.  I give up; I need Java and flash.  Can i just use ubuntu live and delete all the ubutnu partitions.. and install a fresh copy of ubuntu 32bit .. without messing up anything?
[04:39] <Savage-{> neoice: do you have the mount applet added to the taskbar
[04:39] <pctools_> hola??
[04:39] <agentnewb> SurfnKid: what your problem with swap?
[04:39] <m0u5e> OMG I give up! I have no idea how to configure my linksys WPC54GSv2 card! It just won't work, not even with ndiswrapper!!!!!
[04:39] <scoobydoo28139> -desktop:~$ run cdrom/linux-installer.sh
[04:39] <scoobydoo28139> ???
[04:39] <Ashnal> One more Q, how do i set grub to default boot win XP?
[04:39] <agentnewb> m0u5e: calm down
[04:39] <neoice> salvage: server edition, havent set up a GUI, dont really intend to... nor could I since I cant read from the Ubuntu cd currently
[04:39] <Clarrisa_2008> I have a LAMP server set up,  and I'm trying to find out how to search for a directory from the bash prompt
[04:40] <voidmage> find <foo> | grep whateveR?
[04:40] <agentnewb> m0u5e: grab the latest ndiswrapper source and compile it then be sure to use the driver fitted for your processor type
[04:40] <m0u5e> agentnewb: :D its frustrating, i dont even get a signal
[04:40] <Savage-{> neoice: oh right
[04:40] <SurfnKid> kitche, heh yeh i guess, let me ask, whats the number represent in vm.swappiness i.e. 0 50 75
 When I try to install vncserver again, an erro message appears, in portuguese, but anything like vncserver is not available or is older and is referencede by another package
[04:40] <agentnewb> m0u5e: make sure the old ndiswrapper is 'fully' removed and rmmod ndiswrapepr then modprobe ndiswrapper
[04:40] <neoice> clarissa: go to /, "find . -name foo -print" is what I've been using
[04:40] <scoobydoo28139> bknitram,I am haveing trouble with the language, i don't know how to tell it to run linux installer on cd drive
[04:40] <SurfnKid> agentnewb, i dont want swap, but my menus dont paint correctly
[04:40] <agentnewb> m0u5e: check to see if it has a switch to turn it on and off or a bios setting
[04:40] <wastedfluid> I have the ubuntu 64bit edition installed, dual booted w/ xp... if I download the 32bit edition of ubuntu, and just delete the ubuntu partitions.. will the 32-bit edition of ubuntu run fine on a 64bit amd?
[04:41] <Savage-{> neoice: just type: mkdir /mnt/cdrom -> mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom
[04:41] <agentnewb> m0u5e: if you can do iwlist and get a response then it is working
[04:41] <Clarrisa_2008> voidmage, how do I get it to search in subfolders?
[04:42] <m0u5e> agentnewb: its a pcmcia card, and i know its there, but i just wont see any networks
[04:42] <agentnewb> SurfnKid: swap is very much useful if configured right. You can turn down how often it uses it and optimize your hard drive with hdparm.
[04:42] <neoice> salvage: no medium found.
[04:42] <Clarrisa_2008> neoice...just saw your message, this thing moves so fast
[04:42] <Jordan_U> artabrahao, Do you have the universe repository enabled?
[04:42] <m0u5e> agentnewb: do you mean there might be a switch for the card? or the motherboard bios?
[04:42] <SurfnKid> agentnewb, awesome.... got any tips on hdparm
[04:42] <Savage-{> neoice: that is a CD problem right there
[04:42] <neoice> clarrisa: the -print should allow you to push enter
[04:42] <Ashnal> Can you guys tell me how to set XP as the default OS in grub?
[04:42] <voidmage> Clarrisa_2008: iirc it goes as deep as it can
[04:42] <agentnewb> m0u5e: yeah but you installed this card yourself right?
[04:42] <NoelJB> Is anyone familar with VNC and Gnome under Ubuntu?  I have it working with RHEL, but the same documented configuration fails with Feisty.
[04:42] <Savage-{> neoice: try an original CD of somekind
[04:43] <agentnewb> m0u5e: is it one of those that have an atenna?
[04:43] <scoobydoo28139> bknitram: um please help me get this i want to learn how
[04:43] <neoice> salvage: CD media or CD drive? cause it worked YESTERDAY with 2 different CDs
[04:43] <kitche> Ashnal: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and change teh lien default to the number that your XP is
[04:43] <Savage-{> neoice: media
[04:43] <neoice> salvage: although both times required a reboot + some luck I guess?
[04:43] <Ashnal> k thanks
 what is universe repository ?
[04:43] <anathematic> does installing the xserver/xwindows increase in-stability on my ubuntu server?
[04:44] <agentnewb> SurfnKid: sure just let me grab the link
[04:44] <scoobydoo28139> hmm
[04:44] <Jordan_U> !universe | artabrahao
[04:44] <m0u5e> agentnewb: it doesnt have an antenna
[04:44] <SurfnKid> agentnewb, berry guud thankx :)
[04:44] <scoobydoo28139> is there another help channel i could go to to get help with this?
[04:44] <agentnewb> m0u5e: if you bought the card separately and installed it then I doubt so. What do you get at end of dmesg is it detecting something about the card?
[04:44] <m0u5e> agentnewb: its just a regular linksys WPC54GSv2 pcmcia card
[04:44] <cristhianNewbie> hello. does anybody know about Gambas ?
[04:44] <Savage-{> neoice: if you have tried an original CD and it doesn't work then something else is up and it is hard to tell what it is
[04:44] <Jordan_U> artabrahao, It allows you to install community maintained software, enable it in System -> Administration -> Software-sources
[04:45] <tapio> http://www.vtc.com/products/cprog.htm I would like to be able to play these videos. Does anyone know how?
[04:45] <agentnewb> m0u5e: I've had bad run ins with linksys cards in the pass mine was a wmp54g I think turns out it used a rt7400 driver whatever that is
[04:45] <Clarrisa_2008> neoice:  THANK YOU!!!! that works great.... damn I need to write this stuff down
[04:45] <Savage-{> neoice: it is hard for me to tell anyways

[04:46] <artabrahao> t<Jordan_U> it is to typr !universe in ubuntu terminal?
[04:46] <SurfnKid> one question about the Wifi miniPCI 2200 (i think thats what it is) Intel WIFI card, is it just as easy to configure with ndiswrapper? or do you need massive configuration
[04:46] <m0u5e> eth1      IEEE 802.11b/g  ESSID:"S"  Nickname:"Broadcom 4318"

[04:46] <NoelJB> cristhianNewbie: apt-cache search c++.  Needless to say, you'll find it.  :-)
[04:46] <cristhianNewbie> thanks Noel
[04:47] <anathematic> does installing the xserver/xwindows increase in-stability on my ubuntu server?
[04:47] <m0u5e> i tried installing ndisgtk just to see if a gui would make it any simpler, but it just gives me a Hardware?: nO
[04:47] <NoelJB> anathematic: if you need to ask ...
[04:47] <keeganx> Hi everyone, I was wonder how would I customize my XFCE menu?  I tried using the Menu Editor, but its just useless.  Is there a way I can customize it like the Fluxbox menus?
[04:47] <lastkey0> Hi, how to use emerald theme manager
[04:47] <NoelJB> generally speaking, a server needs a GUI like a porche needs a horse trailer, but YMMV.
[04:47] <anathematic> NoelJB:  i mean it doesn't effect it that badly does it?
[04:47] <PCGenie> hello is there a security forum of ubuntu?
[04:48] <agentnewb> SurfnKid: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8308
[04:48] <SurfnKid> agentnewb, thx
[04:48] <NoelJB> anathematic: <<shrug>> it is overhead if you don't need it.  Security is another matter.  I certainly wouldn't open those ports.  I close them all, and then use SSH.  If I *need* a GUI, I would SSH and then access it through the tunnels.
[04:49] <scoobydoo28139> helpo pleaso
[04:49] <scoobydoo28139> me o
[04:49] <agentnewb> m0u5e: trust me you don't need a gui, that's meant for people whom test a lot of the wireless devices
[04:49] <m0u5e> agentnewb: i matched up what lspci with what they gave w/ ndiswrapper
[04:49] <m0u5e> agentnewb: but it still doesnt work
[04:49] <PCGenie> Hello again, I am asking because my Ubuntu just got hacked into over the net, need some advice here
[04:49] <Ironman273> I'm having a problem uninstalling AWN
[04:49] <agentnewb> m0u5e: might be support was dropped because a native linux driver was made
[04:49] <anathematic> NoelJB:  i was looking at installing a torrent program on my server that's all but as far as i've been told i need to install the graphical interface to do it, i'd rather not do that i guess
[04:50] <Ironman273> It doesn't seem like it's installed but the icons don't go away
[04:50] <scoobydoo28139> <<is discouraged
[04:50] <Clarrisa_2008> Does anyone know why I'd be getting the following message when I try to run phpmyadmin: The configuration file now needs a secret passphrase (blowfish_secret).
[04:50] <bimberi> PCGenie: there isn't one that I know of.  There might be one on ubuntuforums.org
[04:50] <Ironman273> Any ideas?
[04:51] <m0u5e> agentnewb: wouldn't they update that on the list then?
[04:51] <agentnewb> m0u5e: update? that would be a removal not an update
[04:51] <Clarrisa_2008> I've googled it and I keep find links about XAMPP installation config file.  to my knowledge I've never installed xampp
[04:51] <agentnewb> m0u5e: for testing purposes that old information might be useful

[04:52] <agentnewb> m0u5e: what model did you say it was? you downloaded the driver from linksys site or used copy off the cd?
[04:52] <ubotu> artabrahao: 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
[04:52] <agentnewb> m0u5e: you can use unzip -a to remove drivers from .exe or try using wine

[04:53] <incognito> whats the command to mount a harddrive to the system in the fstab file? it's not vfat, and i dont think its fat32.  what is it?
[04:53] <m0u5e> agentnewb: its a WPC54GSv2, i downloaded the drivers from linksys
[04:53] <Ironman273> Anyone have any experience with AWN?
[04:53] <kitche> incognito: what's the filesystem on the harddrive
[04:53] <agentnewb> m0u5e: they change the software at linksys site quite a lot, you might want to try what you got on the cd that was packaged with your hardware
[04:53] <insomniac190> ironman273: wouldnt say experience, but i did install awn today
[04:53] <incognito> kitche fat32
[04:54] <kitche> incognito: vfat
[04:54] <incognito> kitche oh so it IS vfat
[04:54] <Ironman273> insomniac: would you know why I can't seem to uninstall it?

[04:54] <agentnewb> m0u5e: ask around maybe someone else does..
[04:54] <Ironman273> insomniac: actually, it seems like it's uninstalled, just the icons are still in the menu
[04:54] <m0u5e> agentnewb: it shouldn't matter should it? the drivers they give with the new pack should work :X
[04:54] <wesside> anyone available to help me out with getting my wireless working?
[04:54] <guaxinim> how i install a true type font?

[05:14] <agentnewb> bricky: your mouse is queer
[05:14] <neoice> so I still cant get a CD to mount in 7.04 server
[05:14] <kitche> curiogeo: umm not j z
[05:14] <curiogeo> Penguinista: so how do I avoid it
[05:14] <agentnewb> zDiogo: is port 4747 in use?
[05:14] <kitche> neoice: what kind of cd
[05:14] <neoice> have 2 copies of the server disc on 2 different media, burned at different speeds... neither respond
[05:14] <Killaz> hey, can some1 help me with some Visual Basic Code?
[05:14] <chevypower> bricky - click 'System > Preferences > Mouse' and configure one.
[05:14] <zDiogo> how I know if 4747 is in use ?
[05:14] <agentnewb> zDiogo: long as its over 1023 or 1024 it should be fine
[05:15] <agentnewb> Killaz: if its qb I can
[05:15] <Xenguy> Killaz: die
[05:15] <curiogeo> kitche:
[05:15] <Penguinista> You don't.  That's how Windows programs work.  RPC - remote procedure call.  Procedures passed regardless of what machine is doing the calling.
[05:15] <Killaz> err?
[05:15] <curiogeo> kitche: you very clever thank you
[05:15] <zDiogo> agentnewb: how I know if 4747 is in use ?
[05:15] <agentnewb> Killaz: if your truly running VB then I laugh at you, that language is dead
[05:16] <Killaz> my teacher made me do it :(
[05:16] <agentnewb> zDiogo: what do you see when that program is not running?
[05:16] <Penguinista> One way to make sure that RPC doesn't leave you vulnerable is to block the affected ports from outside your machine with a firewall...
[05:16] <kitche> agentnewb: hope you know many companies use VB still VB,.net
[05:16] <agentnewb> zDiogo: do you see a place in registry or the programs configuration you can change the port?
[05:16] <curiogeo> kitche: that worked thanks
[05:16] <pike_> vb is actually used quite a bit in the offices ive worked at
[05:16] <Obeah> I'm finding that ripping CD's is using 80-90% of the processor and even locking up the machine on this new Feisty install. It's an AMD 2700+ with nothing else running.
[05:16] <agentnewb> kitche: as I understand the .net architecture allows for integration of other languages to usurp visual basic
[05:17] <zDiogo> agentnewb:  I cant change the port where this program is running
[05:17] <Jordan_U>  kitche Doesn't make it any less of a nightmare, I'd rather use FORTRAN
[05:17] <agentnewb> zDiogo: why not?
[05:17] <agentnewb> Jordan_U: where do you learn FORTRAN???
[05:17] <zDiogo> agentnewb: because it is a game server and all programs connect in this port
[05:17] <witless> updating packages gives me this message:  "you are about to update packages that *can't be authenticated*!".  how do i fix this?
[05:17] <Draconicus> I've got framebuffer problems on this laptop. Ubuntu's usplash shows as nothing but a repeating pattern of pixels. That's just an example, though. When Xorg starts, it starts all scrambly, but if I hit ctrl+alt+backspace to restart it once, it loads up just fine. If I restart X again at any point after that, I'm stuck with a black screen and the laptop seems to cease function, much like what happens if I attempt to switch out of
[05:17] <Draconicus> X and into a tty console.
[05:18] <agentnewb> zDiogo: ah if its game server thing then fix your router, that's most likely your issue
[05:18] <pike_> Killaz: i dont know that there is a vb channel on freenode
[05:18] <xeno_> is anyone able to help me setup distcc for crosscompiling with a ppc machine?
[05:18] <Jordan_U> agentnewb, Don't ask, I don't like being reminded...
[05:18] <Killaz> pike_: do u knwo where i could fine one?
[05:18] <powerblue> hi whats this?
[05:18] <agentnewb> Jordan_U: there sooo many fortran flavors to install I'm wandering what it is
[05:18] <zDiogo> agentnewb: but when I run this server in vmware it works, but in wine didnt
[05:18] <agentnewb> Jordan_U: I like to use perl
[05:18] <AxE> someone say axe ?
[05:19] <AxE> O_o
[05:19] <Pelo>  lol
[05:19] <Flannel> lgc: Linux will fill all the RAM it's given.  Unused RAM is wasted RAM.  If something else needs it though, it'll be freed
[05:19] <agentnewb> zDiogo: you really should try checking the wine application database at winehq.org
[05:19] <paul__> hi guys!
[05:19] <rollerskatejamms> w00t!
[05:19] <powerblue> hi paul!
[05:19] <rollerskatejamms> I just convinced my girlfriend to install ubuntu on her laptop
[05:19] <powerblue> u like me??
[05:19] <AxE> lol
[05:19] <agentnewb> zDiogo: what wine version you using? latest is 0.9.37
[05:19] <paul__> hello blue
[05:19] <AxE> rollerskatejamms: wow you trying to make her break up with you? :p
[05:19] <powerblue> paul im using ubuntu feisty ryt now
[05:19] <agentnewb> zDiogo: there is also #winehq
[05:19] <rollerskatejamms> AxE, ...
[05:19] <zDiogo> agentnewb: I am doing a diferent 0.9.33
[05:19] <pike_> Killaz: sry dunno  other than maybe newsgroups you might try efnet
[05:19] <paul__> ok...
[05:19] <zDiogo> I am there too
[05:20] <Pelo> rollerskatejamms,  you'll be a lonely boy from now on,  she'll love it so much you'll never see her again
[05:20] <Killaz> efnet?
[05:20] <paul__> im using my computer ryt now!
[05:20] <rollerskatejamms> Pelo, heh
[05:20] <powerblue> how can i install beryl here?
[05:20] <zDiogo> agentnewb:  but they asked to come here because my question is about netstat
[05:20] <powerblue> any1 got an idea?
[05:20] <Draconicus> paul__: slugbug is that you?
[05:20] <Pelo> powerblue,  a better place to ask would be in #beryl , they know all about that stuff
[05:20] <agentnewb> zDiogo: http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/index.html
[05:20] <Flannel> powerblue: #ubuntu-effects for beryl support
[05:20] <Obeah> powerblue: sudo apt-get isntall beryl
[05:20] <lgc> Flannel, thanks. I still have some memory labeled as 'free2: "Mem:   2068224k total,  1992604k used,    75620k free,   338836k buffers
[05:20] <lgc> "
[05:21] <powerblue> ive ah thanks guys
[05:21] <paul__> nope
[05:21] <powerblue> thanks a lot guys
[05:21] <Killaz> :'(~~~~ are u telling me that with 1000 nerds... theres not 1 who's proficinet in VB6?
[05:21] <agentnewb> zDiogo: what sort of game server is it?
[05:21] <witless> how do i fix "you are about to update packages that *can't be authenticated*" error in the update manager?
[05:21] <bruenig> vb6 is not for nerds
[05:21] <yanger> hi, trying to automount external usb hdds but not working, i tried to access the System -> Preferences -> Removable Drives and Media, but i get the error message: Volume management not supported ... but i see hald in ps
[05:21] <zDiogo> agentnewb: Magic Workstation
[05:21] <Killaz> :'(~~~~
[05:21] <Killaz> im a nerd....
[05:21] <Pelo> Killaz,  this channel mostly deals with hardware issues and getting noobs started
[05:21] <agentnewb> zDiogo: I'm surprised there isn't a native linux server port
[05:21] <zDiogo> agentnewb: they do a version only to run on windows plataform
[05:21] <pike_> Killaz: its too pratical. wanna talk about ruby?
[05:22] <Akuma_> how do i connect to other linux boxes on the lan?
[05:22] <Killaz> Pelo: is there ny place that can help me?
[05:22] <bruenig> just use mono
[05:22] <pike_> Akuma_: how are you wanting to connect? a remote shell or what?
[05:22] <wastrel> #vb #windows
[05:22] <Jordan_U> Akuma_, Connect in what way?
[05:22] <bruenig> ##windows
[05:22] <wastrel> nobody here uses vb because we're linux users
[05:22] <Obeah> How come sound juicer nearly pins my AMD athlon 2700+  while ripping a CD with nothing else running?
[05:22] <Pelo> Killaz,  I don'T even know what BV6 is ,  so try a VB6 website and look for a link to an irc channel there
[05:22] <VR_> !pidgin
[05:23] <bruenig> virtual basic
[05:23] <AngryElf> after I install the 9755 nvidia driver, it works w/o a reboot, but after a reboot it's dead -- something about a mismatched kernel module or something......any ideas?
[05:23] <Draconicus> Ah. Hey. I found the solution.
[05:23] <bruenig> microsoft trash
[05:23] <zDiogo> agentnewb: this is my netstat, this mean that mwshost.exe is listening my 4747 port ? : tcp  0 0 0.0.0.0:4747  0.0.0.0:*  LISTEN  20527/mwshost.exe
[05:23] <Draconicus> I need to recompile my kernel without a certain thingy.
[05:23] <Jordan_U> VR_, There is a pidgin .deb on getdeb.com
[05:23] <Pelo> bruenig,  I realised when I saw the mention of windows
[05:23] <Killaz> linux... wats that :P
[05:23] <m0u5e> AHA!
[05:23] <m0u5e> can anyone explain to me what bcm44xx cutter does?
[05:23] <pike_> Killaz: lotta fanboys here and im prob one of em but vb is good on a resume
[05:23] <Akuma_> pike_: Jordan_U: sorry should have specified. access shares. i know how to do it with samba odly enough .... but can they be mixed on the same network? i'm kinda confused about the whole issue
[05:23] <agentnewb> zDiogo: do you have a firewall on your linux box or a router it is connected to?
[05:24] <funkja> I have a directory that has a bunch of music in it, is there a program somewhere that can find the track information and put it all in the right folders and organize it?
[05:24] <m0u5e> I know that it extracts firmware information from broadcom devices, but beyond that :D
[05:24] <SirBob1701> does anyone know how easy it is to create replicating servers in linux? (one change on one server propogates to the other)
[05:24] <NoelJB> Well, no joy from anyone here, but I did find the problem I am encountering doc'd: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/feisty/+source/vnc4/+bug/78282
[05:24] <crdlb> m0u5e: it's the firmware for broadcom wireless cards that has to be loaded
[05:24] <agentnewb> zDiogo: are you trying to host the server online and are behind a firewall enable some form of port forwarding or stick your static ip adress in the dmz zone
[05:24] <zDiogo> agentnewb: I allowed my 4747 port
[05:24] <crdlb> normal wifi cards already have their firmware flashed onto the chip
[05:24] <Jordan_U> m0u5e, Basically you have the drivers for your wireless card already but the card itself needs the code that runs on it's processor to be loaded by the OS when it is used, bcm43xx-fwcutter gets you this code ( firmware ) so you can use your card
[05:24] <wastrel> Akuma_:  easiest way is to install openssh-server everywhere and use "connect to server" in nautilus or places menu
[05:25] <zDiogo> agentnewb:  I am trying connect local to test, and didn't work
[05:25] <lgc> Flannel, is that a feature or a bug?
[05:25] <agentnewb> zDiogo: perhaps it denies localhost connections
[05:25] <agentnewb> zDiogo: does it allow such on windows?
[05:26] <zDiogo> agentnewb: when I run it in windows I can make local connections
[05:26] <Akuma_> wastrel: and the ssh server allows to browse the shares through nautilus?
[05:26] <scoobydoo28139> what do you type in terminal to tell ubuntu to open the .sh file on a CD ?
[05:26] <zDiogo> agentnewb: I think that I need to do something in my rinetd to work .. because in vmware I need
[05:26] <Pelo> scoobydoo28139,   sudo ./path/file.sh
[05:27] <agentnewb> zDiogo: http://sourceforge.net/projects/magic-project/
[05:27] <pike_> scoobydoo28139: depends. normally sh file.sh but do 'head file.sh' and see what the first line of it says
[05:27] <Pelo> scoobydoo28139, you might need to change permission first
[05:27] <wastrel> Akuma_:  if the remote machine has ssh server running, yes you can browse the filesystem with nautilus
[05:27] <yanger> ok, that was suupiid... ;\ i did a aptitude reinstall hal, and it worked... there were some notes in ubuntu forums but lots of people said it didn't work.. for me, it worked. thanks all whom tried :P
[05:27] <xeno_> is anyone able to help me setup distcc for crosscompiling with a ppc machine?
[05:27] <m0u5e> jordon_U: ty :)
[05:27] <scoobydoo28139> pike: tks
[05:27] <scoobydoo28139> pelo: ok thanks
[05:28] <zDiogo> agentnewb:  this is another program to play magic, but all players use MWS to play
[05:28] <Mysticcal> is it possible to uninstall gnome?
[05:28] <Mysticcal> GNOME*?
[05:28] <Mysticcal> i installed it and now I don't want it... don't need it if I can just SSH in
[05:28] <boghog> hi
[05:28] <Draconicus> Mysticcal: sudo apt-get remove gnome ?
[05:28] <Pelo> Mysticcal, I guess , try from synaptic
[05:29] <Akuma_> wastrel: good to know. thanks
[05:29] <Pelo> Draconicus,  might nor remove all the pacakges
[05:29] <Mysticcal> yeah
[05:29] <Draconicus> Pelo: It'll get rid of anything depending on it.
[05:29] <SurfnKid> agentnewb, question on the tty thing on that linuxjournal site, I tried editing file /etc/inittab
[05:29] <Mysticcal> i want to remove all the packages
[05:29] <SurfnKid> but there's no file
[05:29] <artabrahao> what is the universe?
[05:29] <Draconicus> 99% of all Debian system users don't apt-get clean regularly.
[05:29] <Draconicus> All those packages build up.
[05:29] <Jordan_U> Mysticcal, sudo apt-get remove <whatever> --auto-remove
[05:29] <PurpZeY> artabrahao: It's a repository of programs....
[05:29] <scoobydoo28139> pelo: terminal say's command not found
[05:29] <dezine> I found a couple sources on how to install and apache but none seem to work, can someone point me to a good site that explains it better?
 and how install that?
[05:30] <Mysticcal> sudo apt-get install apache2?
[05:30] <Pelo> scoobydoo28139,  try that other way  th other guy mentionned
[05:30] <pike_> dezine: well installation is pretty easy. you wondering howto set it up?
[05:30] <wastrel> 86% of statistics are made up on the spot, 53.2% of people know that
[05:30] <insomniac190> is there a program that willl display rss feeds on my desktop?
[05:30] <agentnewb> SurfnKid: yep I came into same conclusion. Turns out ubuntu uses a faster boot method and you might want to try out sysv-rc-conf as well as checking .config in your home directory
[05:30] <dezine> o
[05:30] <dezine> well
[05:30] <agentnewb> SurfnKid: no clue yet as to how to turn off the extra tty
[05:31] <SurfnKid> agentnewb, really? no clue yet on ubuntu?
[05:31] <dezine> I think apache is set up, the instructions I went by causes errors
[05:31] <zDiogo> agentnewb:  my firewall -> ACCEPT     tcp  --  anywhere             anywhere            tcp dpt:4747
[05:31] <dezine> let me check
[05:31] <SurfnKid> agentnewb, I thought it'd be discovered by now :P
[05:31] <agentnewb> SurfnKid: I've been busy setting up beryl and getting wireless going with this other box
[05:31] <dezine> ok, with it installed how do I set it up?
[05:32] <SurfnKid> agentnewb, cool, miniPCI ?
[05:32] <lgc> Is there a graphical app to find out what is in RAM? (I mean, something like "20% user, 60% system", or whatever).
[05:32] <agentnewb> SurfnKid: yeah
[05:32] <boghog> I just installed Ubuntu on a computer that has three harddisks, one 100GB disk, a 160GB one and a 200GB disk
[05:32] <pike_> dezine: if you goto http://localhost in browser you get the apache page?
[05:33] <Pelo> lgc,   menu > system > admin > system monitor
 and how install that?
[05:33] <ndiswrapper-guy> anyone know how to password protect folders in ubuntu
[05:33] <agentnewb> SurfnKid: been getting into the whole embedded linux thing with my linksys router got dd-wrt so sort of not keeping up to pace, try checking into something called system V
[05:33] <SurfnKid> agentnewb, im using the bcm4306, what are u using
[05:33] <scoobydoo28139> pelo:bash: /media/cdrom0/linux-installer.sh: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied
[05:33] <boghog> I removed the existing partition from the 200GB disk and manually created a 20GB ext3 partition mounted on "/", and a swap partition of 1GB (leaving the rest of the disk unused)
[05:33] <funkja> I have a directory of music that I want to get organized into folders by artists. Are there any programs that will do this?
[05:33] <dezine> Yeah it seems to be up, it's showing the index
[05:33] <agentnewb> SurfnKid: TheSheep over in xubuntu might be able to explain more about tweaking ubuntu but I didn't understood what he was saying about boot up methods
[05:33] <SurfnKid> agentnewb, cool never heard of it
[05:33] <PurpZeY> artabrahao: Synaptic....Settings--->Repositories.
[05:33] <SurfnKid> agentnewb, ok cool
[05:33] <boghog> then the installer went on to install the files and stuff and then at some point asked me to reboot (or continue using the livecd), so I rebooted
[05:34] <lgc> Pelo, sysmon just displays the processes, not a graphical view of the memory strip. Irix has a nice app (whose name I just can't remember now).
[05:34] <boghog> but now it apparently put a GRUB bootloader on the 160GB disk, but it didn't install it correctly and all it gives me is "Error 17"
[05:34] <ndiswrapper-guy> ubuntu runs great on 1ghz machine
[05:34] <SurfnKid> ndiswrapper-guy, sure does
[05:34] <Pelo> scoobydoo28139, try the forum or the wiki
[05:34] <ndiswrapper-guy> is the xubuntu gui faster?
[05:34] <pike_> dezine: youll get better answers in #apache id say to specific questions
[05:34] <agentnewb> boghog: if your trying to dual boot then RTFM!
[05:34] <dezine> alright, thanks
[05:35] <boghog> agentnewb, I just want to install Ubuntu, nothing else
[05:35] <Pelo> lgc,  open up synaptic and search with keywords  then browse the packages available until you hit the right one
[05:35] <ndiswrapper-guy> is heir any quick ways to get ubuntu to run faster
[05:35] <boghog> I followed this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall
[05:35] <agentnewb> boghog: odd might want to fdisk it yourself then  and try again, your using ext3 and some swap right?
[05:35] <lgc> Pelo, thanks. Let me try that.
[05:35] <mike01> how do i get my sound working?
[05:35] <boghog> yeah ext3 20GB for / and 1GB swap, both on the 200GB disk
[05:35] <Pelo> ndiswrapper-guy,  google ubuntu optimize
[05:36] <mike01> it works in xmms but not in the system
[05:36] <mike01> and in xmms i am using alsa with my hardware manually selected
[05:36] <Pelo> !sound | mike01
[05:36] <mike01> no other program sounds work either
[05:36] <mike01> already read the guides
[05:36] <Pelo> is the bot down again ?
[05:36] <mike01> the problem is getting it to use what i want
[05:36] <pike_> ndiswrapper-guy: there are a couple things. how much ram you have? id check disk io too with sudo hdparm /dev/hda   or whatever the hd ubuntu is on is. seems to me feisty is pretty conservative with setting some things up
[05:36] <mike01> hardware is detected and worked if i can select it
[05:37] <insomniac190> so there is no program that will display rss feeds on my desktop?
[05:37] <chuck`_> http://pastebin.ca/506661 -- are these many active instances of apache2 normal? (re: "Working as Intended")
[05:37] <scoobydoo28139> the it was a simple one line any one could have given me any way at any time
[05:38] <pike_> scoobydoo28139: ?
[05:38] <Pelo> insomniac190,  install gdesklets and check the gdesklets site for rss applets,  there might be a few in the gdesklets extra s in the repos
[05:38] <agentnewb> ndiswrapper-guy: try this http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8308 and read the next 2 articles, then install something called sysv-rc-conf and learn what those services are so you can turn them off
[05:38] <agentnewb> ndiswrapper-guy: you can also turn down grub pause and bios pause a few seconds for faster boot up
[05:38] <Fezzler> to execute "kill -HUP PID", how do I find what PID should be?  Trying to restart inetd.conf to get swat going
[05:39] <johntheunique> i installed automatix via a deb file and now it's screwed everything up
[05:39] <johntheunique> i can't use apt-get anymore, it gives me python errors
[05:39] <scoobydoo28139> pike i give tonight i am frustrated and annoyed
[05:39] <agentnewb> Fezzler: do ps aux | grep thenyourapplicationhere
[05:39] <scoobydoo28139> pike: thanks though, i will try later
[05:39] <SirBob1701> does anyone know how easy it is to create replicating servers in linux? (one change on one server propogates to the other)
[05:39] <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.
[05:40] <johntheunique> aol is the bomb!
[05:40] <agentnewb> who activated the ubotu?
[05:40] <ubotu> mike01: 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
[05:40] <Pelo> it was just lagging
[05:40] <mike01> the alsa mixer works
[05:40] <agentnewb> is there a pidgin for other operating systems?
[05:40] <johntheunique> agentnewb: sure
[05:41] <mike01> if i change the volume with kmix on pcm it controls the xmms playback volume
[05:41] <mike01> the problem is that i cant hear any system sounds
[05:41] <mike01> or any other programs for that matter
[05:41] <Pelo> mike01,  and you did check in alsamixier to make sure everthig was enalbled and not muted ?
[05:42] <Fezzler> agent: What's the pid in the resulting string...1000      6999  0.0  0.1   2880   748 pts/0    R+   23:40   0:00 grep inetd.conf
[05:42] <mike01> alsa mixer works
[05:42] <wastrel> USER       PID PU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
[05:42] <mike01> master and pcm volume control works and changes the volume of xmms music playback
[05:42] <pike_> ah pidgin is gaim now
[05:42] <mike01> however, there are no system sounds
[05:42] <mike01> or any other programs for that matter
[05:42] <wastrel> Fezzler:  ps aux | head -n 1
[05:43] <mike01> it seems that the default sound device chosen by kde and all other programs is the wrong one or something
[05:43] <johntheunique> if i use mplayer with pidgin i get an awful crackling noise at the end of sounds
[05:43] <johntheunique> sound seems to work fine on my system otherwise
[05:44] <Fezzler> Still don't understand what gets inserted for "PID"
[05:44] <bruenig> johntheunique, pidgin is not in ubuntu right now, so your problem is not supported
[05:44] <Fezzler> 1000      7087  0.0  0.1   2880   752 pts/0    R+   23:43   0:00 grep inetd
[05:44] <Pelo> Fezzler, process id number,
[05:44] <johntheunique> bruenig: thanks for the heads up
[05:45] <johntheunique> bruenig: is pidgin really that different from gaim besides the name change?
[05:45] <dezine> the apache channel seems dead, just a simple question, where is the local www folder located?
[05:45] <Pelo> Fezzler, type top inthe terminal and look at the first column
[05:45] <scoobydoo28139> good night channel
[05:45] <bruenig> johntheunique, quite a few ui changes but not really much underneath
[05:45] <dezine> of apache that is
[05:46] <Mysticcal> sigh /var/www
[05:46] <johntheunique> bruenig: so have you heard of anything like this with gaim?
[05:46] <mdious> is /www sometimes under /usr/local/apache/www ?
[05:46] <johntheunique> i'll try installing gaim and see if the issue goes away
[05:46] <bruenig> johntheunique, I haven't heard of it under gaim or pidgin
[05:46] <mjunx> www is usually in /var/www
[05:46] <mjunx> :)
[05:46] <dezine> oh
[05:46] <puntoUY> can i amplify the microphone volume?
[05:47] <dezine> there it is
[05:47] <dezine> :) thanks
[05:47] <mikunic> how do i update ubuntu?
[05:47] <Fezzler> top is cool but  I don't see inetd; so it must be killed?
[05:47] <dezine> it was in /var
[05:47] <johntheunique> mikunic: System -> Administartion -> Update Manager
[05:47] <mikunic> thanks
[05:47] <wastrel> Fezzler:  there's no inetd in your results, that's the grep command you're seeing.
[05:48] <wastrel> Fezzler:  inetd isn't installed by default.
[05:48] <Toma-> Hmm. Im trying to make an ext2 silesystem in a file ive made with dd thats full of zeros. im getting an error "ubuntu-fs.ext2: Invalid argument passed to ext2 library while setting up superblock" any ideas?
[05:49] <Fezzler> I'm trying to get samba swat going.  I edited the inetd.conf and services files
[05:49] <johntheunique> has anyone else screwed up apt with the automatix installation?
[05:49] <wastrel> Fezzler:  /etc/init.d/inetd restart   ?
[05:49] <Toma-> johntheunique: yep.
[05:49] <Fezzler> Now I have to execute "kill -HUP PID"
[05:49] <johntheunique> Toma-: were you able to fix it?
[05:49] <mariocesar_bo> I get "Group descriptors corrupted" when try to mount an ext3 partition
[05:50] <printk> johntheunique, it's highly recommended to NOT use automatix as it regularly breaks systems
[05:50] <Toma-> johntheunique: restore your /etc/apt/sources.list backup thats made by automatix
[05:50] <Fezzler> wast: is that safe to run...no harm no foul?
[05:50] <mariocesar_bo> anyone knows, how do i fix it ?
[05:50] <Pelo> johntheunique,  a few ppl ,  have it remvoe the progs it installed first then uninstall it , then reinstll he stuff hyou need from the repos
[05:50] <wastrel> Fezzler:   yes safe
[05:50] <wastrel> Fezzler:  is this system live for users ?
[05:50] <dezine> How do I change the permissions on a windows folder so I can copy files from it?
[05:50] <mdious> Toma:  this link might help...http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=231391
[05:50] <johntheunique> Pelo: I didn't use it to install anything
[05:51] <Pelo> johntheunique,  then just remove it
[05:51] <johntheunique> Pelo: I can't, it broke apt
[05:51] <kdub432> dezine, fat filesystems dont have permissions. whoever mounts it, usually root, gets permissions
[05:51] <johntheunique> Pelo: now apt just spews errors
[05:51] <Fezzler> wast: sudo: /etc/init.d/inetd: command not found
[05:51] <Pelo> johntheunique,  do you still have your cd on hand,   try looking for a deb packag for apt in  /cdrom/pool/a/ ...
[05:52] <dezine> Hm, it won't let me copy, I mounted it on here
[05:52] <Toma-> mdious: thanks for that, but ive already read it and its irrelevant to what im doing :)
[05:52] <wastrel> Fezzler:  you don't have inetd installed probably.
[05:52] <gregorovius> Hi, does anyone know how can I configure which calculator gets launched when I press the calc button on my keyboard? I couldn't find anything in google
[05:52] <johntheunique> Pelo: is that downloadable from some where?
[05:52] <Pelo> john_watson,  don'T you have your cd ?
[05:52] <Fezzler> wast: how can I chceck
[05:53] <wastrel> Fezzler:  try  /etc/init.d/xinetd restart  actually
[05:53] <johntheunique> Pelo: i do, but i'm lazy
[05:53] <Pelo> johntheunique, http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?searchon=names&subword=1&version=feisty&release=all&keywords=apt&sourceid=mozilla-search
[05:53] <Penguinista> gregorovius:  System > preferences > keyboard
[05:53] <Fezzler> sudo: /etc/init.d/xinetd: command not found
[05:53] <wastrel> Fezzler:  dpkg -l | grep ^ii.*inetd
[05:54] <dezine> Hm, I think the folder I am trying to copy to is the problem
[05:54] <dezine> not the windows one
[05:54] <mdious> Toma:  sorry, I should have read it a bit better...ah what was I thinking, of course you read it...it was the first result I got hehe :P
[05:54] <wastrel> Fezzler:  well i don't know how swat works but if the packager didn't include inetd in the dependencies, you probably don't need it.
[05:54] <Fezzler> ii  update-inetd                               4.27-0.2                               inetd.conf updater
[05:54] <wastrel> Fezzler:  yeah you don't have inetd installed
[05:55] <gregorovius> Penguinista, I don't see any option there
[05:55] <Fezzler> HMM
[05:55] <gregorovius> neither in Keyboard shortcuts
[05:55] <dezine> interesting enough the apache folder is protected so I can't move files into it
[05:55] <gregorovius> it lets me choose which button launches the calculator, but not which calculator it launches
[05:56] <mike01> so how do i get my sound working?
[05:56] <mike01> its broken
[05:56] <Pelo> mike01, forum
[05:56] <Pelo> search
[05:56] <Pelo> search a lot
[05:56] <tritium> !sound > mike01
[05:57] <mike01> i dont think anyone else has the same problem
[05:57] <mike01> i believe it is caused by my ati hdtv wonder card
[05:57] <mike01> for some reason linux thinks its a real sound card
[05:57] <mike01> and it gets selected over my nforce 4 audio
[05:57] <crimsun> mike01: asoundconf list
[05:57] <Pelo> mike01, maybe no one else has the same problem but reading up on theirs might give you a clue on fixing yours
[05:58] <crimsun> mike01: (tell me the output from that command)
[05:58] <mike01> the first one on the list i sthe one i want
[05:58] <mike01> CK804
[05:58] <dezine> is there a way to change folder permission from the terminal?
[05:58] <mike01> sound works fine in xmms through alsa and me manually selecting the card
[05:58] <mike01> but the system doesnt work
[05:58] <mike01> and no other programs work
[05:58] <tritium> dezine: yes, with the chmod command
[05:58] <Pelo> dezine,   sudo chmod 755  /path
[05:58] <johntheunique> Pelo: looks like the deb installer is broken too
[05:58] <crimsun> mike01: did you manually create /etc/asound.conf and/or ~/.asoundrc* ?
[05:58] <Pelo> dezine,  man chmod for the permissions variations
[05:59] <mike01> dont think so
[05:59] <crimsun> mike01: that's not good enough. Check.
[05:59] <Pelo> johns^,  I don'T suppose you have the build-essential already installed ?
[05:59] <Pelo> johntheunique,  I don'T suppose you have the build-essential already installed ?
[05:59] <johntheunique> Pelo: never heard of that
[06:00] <Pelo> johntheunique,boot up hte live cd , back up your /home folder and resintall ubuntu
[06:00] <johntheunique> ugh!
 thanks a lot!
[06:00] <PurpZeY> artabrahao: no problem.
[06:00] <mike01> found a /home/mike/.asoundrc.asoundconf which is linked to by /home/mike/.asoundrc, should i rename them?
[06:01] <Flannel> johntheunique: Thats why we warn against automatix
[06:01] <Pelo> johntheunique,  you've manage to screw up the installer  you can'T reinstal anything , you can'T uninstall anything,  you're out of options
[06:01] <crimsun> mike01: remove them both.
[06:01] <mike01> ok
[06:01] <dezine> alriiight, that did it
[06:01] <crimsun> mike01: also remove /etc/asound.conf if it exists
[06:01] <mdious> dezine:  0=no permissions, 1= execute, 2=write, 3= write and execute, 4=read, 5=read and execute, 6=read write, 7=read write execute.  first number is for owner, next group, then the last number is for everyone else.  Please correct me if I'm wrong
[06:02] <johntheunique> Flannel: wish i had seen the warning before
[06:02] <Flannel> johntheunique: We try and spread the word as much as we can.
[06:02] <mike01> now what should i do reboot?
[06:02] <dezine> Yeah I've used chmod but only from ftp programs in windows
[06:02] <dezine> thanks though :)
[06:02] <ajmorris_> what is the CLI command for formatting
[06:02] <johntheunique> I can't believe ubuntu is so fragile
[06:03] <crimsun> mike01: no, we need to check other apps' settings.
[06:03] <Pelo> johntheunique,  ubuntu isnT' fragil,  automatix is that bad
[06:03] <mike01> like what?
[06:03] <Flannel> johntheunique: It's not fragile.  You just broke serious things.
[06:03] <johntheunique> something like this happened to me like a week after my initial install
[06:03] <dawn_chorus> ajmorris_, you could use fdisk. fdisk --help
[06:03] <crimsun> mike01: first, for xmms's alsa output plugin preferences, what is the virtual device selected? Make sure it's 'default', not 'hw:*'
[06:03] <mike01> xmms is using alsa output plugin with audio device hw:0,0
[06:03] <mike01> and it works
[06:03] <Flannel> johntheunique: If you took any OS, and deleted/broke/whatever the right things, they'd cease to work
[06:03] <johntheunique> i didn't have to redo much to get my system to where it is now though
[06:03] <crimsun> mike01: that's the precise problem.
[06:03] <ajmorris_> dawn_chorus, thanks
[06:03] <dawn_chorus> ajmorris_, ur welcome.
[06:03] <johntheunique> Flannel: i guess i'm just used to more robustness with gentoo
[06:04] <johntheunique> i tend to push things
[06:04] <mike01> i set it to default and i dont get any sound
[06:04] <mike01> it says there is a problem with my soundcard
[06:04] <crimsun> mike01: did you restart xmms?
[06:04] <mdious> rm -rf / chmod 777 / - doesn't make linux fragile lol
[06:04] <Flannel> johntheunique: gentoo is the same way.  If you break the right things, your system won't be happy
[06:04] <johntheunique> ubuntu makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot very quickly
[06:04] <kraut> moin
[06:04] <mike01> it works!!!!!!!!!!
[06:04] <johntheunique> Flannel: never had much problem recovering though
[06:04] <johntheunique> with gentoo that is
[06:04] <Alysum> hello, what GUI tool do I need to resize hard disks partitions pls ?
[06:04] <dawn_chorus> johntheunique, this is a support forum, cat.  Move along.
[06:04] <mike01> system sounds dont work though
[06:04] <Pelo> johntheunique, automatix is not part of ubuntu that's the thing
[06:04] <Flannel> johntheunique: Linux assumes you know what you're doing.
[06:04] <dezine> I've used a lot of other distributions and Ubuntu seems the mose noob safe
[06:04] <johntheunique> i never had to do a system reinstall in 2 years
[06:04] <Alysum> like the one we use when we install ubuntu
[06:04] <dezine> most*
[06:04] <crimsun> mike01: log out and back in to GNOME.
[06:04] <mdious> it's amazing what actually breaks when you chmod 777 / ... :(
[06:04] <johntheunique> and i tweaked on it a lot
[06:05] <mike01> ok will do, thank-
[06:05] <mike01> thanks
[06:05] <ajmorris_> dawn_chorus, what is the fdisk paramater for formatting?
[06:05] <juliusspencer> hi... anyone know how to check the version of a pci slot from within linux?
[06:05] <Flannel> johntheunique: You *could* fix it.  But really it'll be easier to just reinstall
[06:05] <crimsun> ajmorris_: if you mean "create a filesystem", fdisk is neither responsible nor capable of that.
[06:05] <mdious> juliusspencer:  could 'lspci' do it?
[06:05] <mike01> sounds work, thanks
[06:06] <crimsun> mike01: np
[06:06] <johntheunique> Flannel: how hard is it?
[06:06] <mike01> however now my 2nd lcd is all screwed up with beryl
[06:06] <juliusspencer> I tried that and another one dmidecode... no luck
[06:06] <johntheunique> Flannel: to fix without a reinstall
[06:06] <ajmorris_> crimsun, i want to re-format an NTFS external hard disk, is fdisk capable of that?
[06:06] <Pelo> g'night folks
[06:06] <avis> i am not getting a window border on my xorg windows
[06:06] <johntheunique> can't i just download some tar files and fix it by hand?
[06:06] <juliusspencer> mdious, or I couldn't interpret the reulsts....
[06:06] <mike01> how do i make beryl-manager load on startup in kubuntu?
[06:06] <mike01> i know how to get it to work in gnome, but not sure in kde
[06:07] <crimsun> ajmorris_: it's capable of deleting your NTFS partition and creating a blank, uninitialised/unformatted/unuseful Linux partition or free space or swap space, sure
[06:07] <johntheunique> linux needs a rollback system
[06:07] <Jordan_U> ajmorris_, No linux program can create an NTFS file system, you can use mkfs to put something else in it's place though
[06:07] <Flannel> johntheunique: well, We don't know what automatix broke, so we'd never be certain we've fixed everything.  But it'd require a live environment and a compiler, then just replace broken stuff with non broken stuff until you have working dpkg again, then reinstall whatever you feel like with dpkg.
[06:07] <ajmorris_> crimsun, what is the command to do this?
[06:07] <insomniac190> can anyone tell me if i should change my kernel?
[06:07] <ajmorris_> Jordan_U, look at ntfsprogs ;)
[06:07] <crimsun> ajmorris_: what does "this" refer to?
[06:07] <mdious> juliusspencer:  what do you mean by version?
[06:07] <crimsun> insomniac190: is anything not working currently?
[06:07] <dawn_chorus> crimsun, fdisk can do it all.
[06:07] <null__> insomniac190: why would you want to?
[06:07] <johntheunique> Flannel: hmmm, i'm going to look into it
[06:08] <ajmorris_> crimsun, deleting the NTFS partition
[06:08] <johntheunique> it sure beats a reinstall
[06:08] <Clarrisa_2008> I'm using ubuntu 6.06.1 and I can't get mCrypt to be seen by php, even though I installed it with apt-get.  My php version is 5.1.2   how can I get mcrypt to work?
[06:08] <Flannel> johntheunique: *really* it's easier to reinstall, get rid of your macho "I havent reinstalled in X" and go the easy way.
[06:08] <Jordan_U> ajmorris_, Really, ntfsprogs can create and NTFS file system, I thought it could only resize one?
[06:08] <crimsun> dawn_chorus: what does "all" entail?
[06:08] <johntheunique> Flannel: that's such a windows way of handling things
[06:08] <crimsun> ajmorris_: I recommend you use cfdisk if you want to do that.
[06:09] <ajmorris_> Jordan_U, mkntfs ;)
[06:09] <Fivetwentysix> How do I make azureus run by default by clicking torrent files?
[06:09] <johntheunique> Flannel: i think i've been in the linux world long enough to fix things when they break
[06:09] <insomniac190> cirmsun, null_: i heard the default kernel is designed for pentium II processors, didnt know if i could utilize more of my processor
[06:09] <Flannel> johntheunique: no, its not.  It's the smart "I dont know whats broken" sort of way.
[06:09] <ajmorris_> crimsun, kk thanks, will do
[06:09] <juliusspencer> mdious, apparently there are different versions of PCI like version 1 and 2 and 2.2.,.. I'm not sure on the specs, but I have a digium/asterisk card and it needs 2.2. The card doesn't show up in the lspci listing yet the kernel requirements are like 2.2 or 2.4 so no worries there!
[06:09] <dezine> thanks for the help
[06:09] <Clarrisa_2008> I'm using ubuntu 6.06.1 and I can't get mCrypt to be seen by php, even though I installed it with apt-get.  My php version is 5.1.2   how can I get mcrypt to work?
[06:09] <crimsun> insomniac190: it requires a 586 (Pentium-class) CPU but runs on anything newer.
[06:09] <dr_willis> Fivetwentysix,  you mean from within firefox? or the desktop?
[06:09] <Flannel> johntheunique: You have *no* idea what all automatix broke (and neither do we), so you'll *never* be certain that everythign is fixed.  WEll, without reinstalling every single package.  Which, lo and behold, is reinstalling.
[06:09] <mlocker> hi
[06:09] <juliusspencer> mdious, so while I have found the specs for my motherboard are sifficient in a doc online, I want to see what the OS thinks
[06:09] <johntheunique> Flannel: if i reinstall i loose all the programs i have installed
[06:09] <johntheunique> Flannel: i don't even know all of them
[06:10] <Flannel> johntheunique: dpkg -L
[06:10] <mdious> juluisspencer:  ah I follow now...have you had a look in your kernel to see if version 2 of pci and that is enabled?
[06:10] <johntheunique> Flannel: all i have to do is get apt working again
[06:10] <insomniac190> crimsun: okay, i just wanted to make sure the kernel i was using wasnt holding back my processor.  thanks
[06:10] <johntheunique> everything should smooth out after that
[06:10] <vbabiy> hey guys what is the best way to install a dhcp and dns server for my network on ubuntu
[06:10] <Fivetwentysix> Fivetwentysix: Anywhere.
[06:10] <null__> vbabiy: #ubuntu
[06:10] <Fivetwentysix> I want it so that whenever I open a torrent file it'll run in Azureus
[06:11] <vbabiy> null__ ?
[06:11] <juliusspencer> mdious, I'm not sure... I'm using a standard distro kernel... uh... I have ubuntu on my laptop, but not on this particulr computer
[06:11] <null__> vbabiy: that question is better suited for the channel #ubuntu, not the channel #linux that you currently are in
[06:11] <mdious> juliusspencer:  perhaps it's not just in there...will have a look and see if i can find where it would be
[06:11] <juliusspencer> mdious, it should make no diff though...
[06:11] <Flannel> johntheunique: that'll fix *this* problem.  Automatix does stupid things.  You dont know how many others.  But anyway, goodluck.  And stay away from automatix.  Oh, and don't really plan on dist-upgrading either.  Automatix sort of ruins hope of that as well.
[06:11] <null__> wtf
[06:11] <Sust> hello world!
[06:11] <null__> oh god
[06:11] <null__> haha
[06:11] <juliusspencer> yeah... seems odd though as PCI v 2.2 is retty old.
[06:11] <juliusspencer> like 2004 or before
[06:12] <vbabiy> null__: i am in ubuntu
[06:12] <null__> yes
[06:12] <null__> i am stupid
[06:12] <johntheunique> Flannel: wow! there should be some real warnings out there
[06:12] <null__> and hungry and stinky.  shower, food time
[06:12] <insomniac190> rofl @ null_
[06:12] <juliusspencer> mdious, I mean... it probably came out around 2003 I'm guessing atthe latest
[06:12] <machetero> hello
[06:12] <johntheunique> i've seen several places praising the hell out of automatix
[06:12] <juliusspencer> so talking start of 2.6 kernel
[06:12] <vbabiy> !dhcp
[06:12] <Flannel> johntheunique: Thats because people are stupid and don't know any better.
[06:12] <mdious> juliusspencer:  just look around with make menuconfig and see if all the pci stuff is enabled :)
[06:12] <vbabiy> !mp3
[06:12] <Laney> np: Bjork - Play Dead
[06:12] <machetero> automatix just made me loose my ubuntu help
[06:13] <johntheunique> Flannel: it must work for some
[06:13] <juliusspencer> mdious, yeah... always found that really clunky...
[06:13] <vbabiy> can any one give me hand with that
[06:13] <insomniac190> !automatix
[06:13] <johntheunique> machetero: another poor sucker like myself
[06:13] <juliusspencer> mdious, kow if there's a search other than looking in the actual file?
[06:13] <mdious> juliusspencer:  it's the only thing i've ever used
[06:13] <Flannel> johntheunique: It does work for some.  Which is the worst thing for everyone.
[06:13] <machetero> anybody had the same problem here?
[06:13] <johntheunique> Flannel: i wonder why it's so finicky
[06:14] <juliusspencer> mdious, thanks for the tip all the same.
[06:14] <Jordan_U> johntheunique, Because if it weren't it would be in Ubuntu already :)
[06:14] <Flannel> johntheunique: because it does stupid things that the creator refuses to acknowledge are bad.
[06:14] <mdious> juliusspencer:  does cat /proc/pci bring anything up?
[06:15] <juliusspencer> no
[06:15] <juliusspencer> (I think)
[06:15] <Flannel> johntheunique: anyway, this automatix discussion is offtopic.  If youd like to continue with it, a bunch of us ar in #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:15] <juliusspencer> mdious, I think I tried that
[06:15] <Jordan_U> juliusspencer, cat /proc/pci ?
[06:16] <boubbin> how to get the latest kde (3.5.7) ?
[06:16] <Flannel> boubbin: #kubuntu can help you there, I believe.
[06:17] <boubbin> nice, thanks
[06:17] <darrell> I want to place a bookmarks folder in a panel.  How can I do that
[06:17] <syosoft> Hey guys, i'm in a bad way right now. Hosed my nvidia install by installing/building beta drivers. Now i cant get any version of nvidia drivers installed. when i reboot after installing, gdm always complains about glx not being loaded, or cant be found or something....i desperately need someone to help :)
[06:18] <Jas1> is there a rubik's cube channel?
[06:18] <Toma-> sys0p7: envy might be able to clean up your mess and install the drivers
[06:18] <Toma-> !envy | syosoft
[06:18] <Toma-> woops
[06:19] <syosoft> hrm..who what? ;)
[06:19] <syosoft> i just really need my dualies back.
[06:19] <avis> i was reading dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and it said to specify the amount of ram to be used by the video card.  my video card is 128MB how do i specify 256MB in the measurement of kB's  ?
[06:19] <Toma-> wake up buddy!
[06:19] <syosoft> i had beta installed and running for the purpose of joost, it was GREAT, then i shut down for the night, then rebooted, and gdm bitched at me
[06:19] <dr_willis> avis,  thats normally not needed these days with newer video cards
[06:19] <crdlb> syosoft: did you add nv to DISABLED_MODULES ?
[06:19] <Toma-> syosoft: http://www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[06:20] <bkulaga> hello
[06:20] <darrell> Bookmarks in panel?
[06:20] <crdlb> syosoft: if you didn't that's probably the problem
[06:20] <syosoft> i did.
[06:20] <Fezzler> can I give myself root priviledges temporarily and use nautilus GUI to do some file structure work?
[06:21] <syosoft> nvidia chan is helping, sec.
[06:21] <bkulaga> I have a quick question. If I will install the Desktop Version, will I be able to connect to my destkop via telnet?
[06:21] <bkulaga> use shell and stuff?
[06:21] <avis> dr_willis i had a integrated intel card in my 965G that displayed photos without color distortion.  now that i have the geforce 7100GS 128mb i do get that color distortion in photos
[06:21] <avis> integrated video on the motherboard
[06:21] <mdious> Fezzler:  I think you have to change the root password then you can login...on ubuntu it is...generated automatically isn't it?
[06:22] <bkulaga> I have no clue
[06:22] <Fezzler> md: not sure but I am sure I don't want to mess with root
[06:23] <bkulaga> md: do u know if i could connect via telnet if i installed ubuntu desktop?
[06:23] <pavs> whats was the name of the text based browser through shell, i forgot
[06:23] <mdious> Fezzler:   sorry just re-read your question...try um...sudo nautilus ?
[06:23] <syosoft> nano?
[06:23] <pavs> ?
[06:24] <syosoft> oh, browser
[06:24] <mykilx> pavs: links or lynx
[06:24] <dr_willis> pavs,  links, lynx
[06:24] <syosoft> yea, i forgot too :)
[06:24] <dr_willis> or some others
[06:24] <mykilx> links -g
[06:24] <pavs> ?
[06:24] <mykilx> for graphical goodness
[06:24] <mdious> bkulaga:  you should use ssh, not telnet...but yes you could if you set it up
[06:24] <pavs> exit
[06:24] <mykilx> no
[06:24] <bkulaga> ok, well could you please give me a site where i can look up how?
[06:24] <mdious> bkulaga:  how to set up ssh?
[06:25] <bkulaga> yes
[06:25] <mykilx> bkulaga: don't use telnet, use ssh
[06:25] <bkulaga> ok i will
[06:25] <bkulaga> and putty on windows right?
[06:25] <pavs> what was the name of the text based browser in shell? i forgot.
[06:25] <mdious> bkulaga:
[06:25] <mdious> http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/ch-sec-services.en.html#s5.1
[06:26] <mdious> bkulaga:  i would install the server on the desktop, then follow that guide to make it more secure...i have not read the guide but assume it will cover all that you need for securing it
[06:26] <bkulaga> ok
[06:26] <mdious> bkulaga:  if the link doesn't work try http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto then look for the ssh section under securing services
[06:26] <alekz> how can i install a ati radeon 9600 -256mb video card ?
[06:26] <inrs> Hi
[06:26] <bkulaga> md: it does work thank you
[06:26] <mykilx> bkulaga: putty is my favorite for windows
[06:27] <PanzerMKZ> putty is good
[06:27] <inrs> did someone already tried to install MN-710 using ndiswrapper?
[06:27] <mykilx> there is also penguinnet or summat like that
[06:27] <inrs> Thanks
[06:27] <bkulaga> md: so all i have to do is install ssh on desktop?
[06:27] <darrell> how do I place a Bookmarks folder in a Panel?
[06:27] <bkulaga> and then secure it?
[06:27] <PanzerMKZ> but watch out if you have pub/private keys
[06:27] <crimsun> inrs: no, ndiswrapper is a main source package. MOTU are not responsible for it.
[06:27] <diabolix> how can ubuntu excuse itself for using PHOTOSHOP instead of the GIMP to edit the photo's for its website?!?!?
[06:27] <ubotu> dhcp is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for automatic IP assignment from a router. Ubuntu uses dhclient as a DHCP client but other ones (and DHCP servers too) can be obtained from the !repos. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCP
[06:27] <DARKGuy> Hey, I'm making an user for my little sister in my computer. Is there a way I can block her from seeing/reading files in my home folder?
[06:27] <ubotu> 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
[06:27] <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
[06:27] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about envy - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:27] <inrs> crimsun: ah oki :)
[06:28] <inrs> so who can help me :)
[06:28] <mdious> DARKGuy:  ubuntu makes home folders world readable by default (as far as I know) so you will have to change the permissions on it appropriately
[06:28] <inrs> Another question: How can i install the ndisgtk applications without internet access?
[06:28] <DARKGuy> mdious: yes, and that's what I want to avoid in this case :P do you know what are the permissions I'll need to set?
[06:29] <klobster> mdious: darkguy: not tru, just take her out of the admin group (assuming you kept yourself IN the admin group)
[06:29] <PanzerMKZ> inrs: what cd's do you have?
[06:29] <inrs> i have the DVD :)
[06:29] <PanzerMKZ> is it in the sources.list?
[06:29] <inrs> Hmmm
[06:29] <Fezzler> Hey, I'm the admin on this Ubuntu box but it will not let me re-organize another users folders?
[06:29] <inrs> i dont know
[06:29] <inrs> the application?
[06:29] <mdious> klobster:  sorry, I assumed if everyone had 'read' permissions then it wouldn't matter what group they were in, thanks for the info :)
[06:29] <DARKGuy> klobster: hmm, I'll try that, gimme a bit
[06:29] <Fezzler> Trying to do some maintenance
[06:30] <PanzerMKZ> no the dvd
[06:30] <inrs> it is in all available applications
[06:30] <mdious> DARKGuy:  sorry for giving wrong info
[06:30] <inrs> ah dvd
[06:30] <inrs> no
[06:30] <DARKGuy> mdious: that's ok :) we're humans after all xD
[06:30] <inrs> i download it from cdimage.ubuntu.org i think
[06:30] <bkulaga> ubotu: Is there a possibility for me to connect to my server with name@mydnsname.com? and if yes how can i do that
[06:30] <PanzerMKZ> ok so see if you can do a sudo apt-cdrom add
[06:31] <mdious> klobster:  so permissions in ubuntu don't work like they do in debian?
[06:31] <tinh_> hello there
[06:31] <inrs> and i add the name of the package?
[06:31] <klobster> mdious: I found out by accident; I was wary about only having one user as default AND admin
[06:31] <tritium> mdious: they do
[06:31] <PanzerMKZ> no
[06:31] <inrs> how can i check is it is there?
[06:31] <thelo> i need help with instillation
[06:31] <tinh_> does anyone know how to configure gkrellm to monitor CPU?
[06:31] <thelo> someone, please
[06:31] <thelo> message me if you're willing!
[06:31] <PanzerMKZ> no you add the DVD to the sources.list
[06:31] <inrs> ah oki
[06:31] <PanzerMKZ> so that you can pull packages off that
[06:32] <PanzerMKZ> instead of hitting the net
[06:32] <pavs> whats the name of the text based web browser?
[06:32] <inrs> i add it already in the repositries
[06:32] <Fezzler> As admin shouldn't I have permission to move any file
[06:32] <PanzerMKZ> ok
[06:32] <tinh_> lynx
[06:32] <pavs> tnx
[06:32] <thelo> In an ubuntu install (on an intel mac...), it gives an error while bootstrapping: Failed to start the X server...  blahblah.  View output to diagnose?
[06:32] <inrs> but it didn't work
[06:32] <thelo> What can I do?
[06:32] <darrell> Bookmarks Folder in a panel?
[06:32] <PanzerMKZ> ok
[06:32] <mdious> tritium:  thanks...still not sure how taking out of admin group changes fact that a folder is world readable though :(...but i am a moron, perhaps that is why i'm currently un-employed hehe
[06:32] <inrs> your command should do better
[06:33] <PanzerMKZ> whatever
[06:33] <inrs> because i'm still gettin no connection
[06:33] <PanzerMKZ> later
[06:33] <tritium> mdious: hmm?
[06:33] <inrs> when i use "Add/Remove application"
[06:33] <thelo> do I diagnose if I cannot start X?  What do I look for?
[06:33] <cables> what'll print the first few lines of something? Like the opposite of tail?
[06:33] <klobster> mdious: Doh! maybe i am the wrong one.  It appears only the desktop is locked?
[06:33] <inrs> It checks only Internet and not my DVD
[06:33] <inrs> perhaps it is not available in the DVD, no?
[06:34] <mdious> tritium:  Fezzler said the permissions did not have to be changed on his home folder, just take the other user out of the admin group and that will stop them from viewing your home dir
[06:34] <mdious> klobster:  nah i'm a moron, you are correct :)
[06:34] <darrell> Bookmarks Folder in a panel?
[06:34] <thelo> HOW DO I CLICK?
[06:35] <tritium> mdious: no, taking a user out of the admin group takes away their sudo priveleges.  You still need to modify permissions according to your needs on your ~/
[06:35] <mdious> tritium:  sorry I missed the entire point.  I thought that it was in reference to a world readable home folder...i could not understand why taking them out of admin group would stop them from viewing it...apologies for the confusion
[06:36] <bkulaga> How to I create a DNS
[06:36] <bkulaga> like name@mydns.com
[06:36] <mdious> bkulaga:  might need a dns server for that
[06:36] <ralex> better to get the ubuntu 7.04 version of the 6.06?
[06:36] <AlcoholicDoc> hello all
[06:36] <DARKGuy> klobster: Um, the "Luna" user for my sister isn't in the admin group, yet she can see my stuff.. :/
[06:37] <tritium> mdious: no worries :)
[06:37] <bkulaga> mdious is it possible to make a dns server with ubuntu?
[06:37] <tritium> bkulaga: it is
[06:37] <mdious> bkulaga:  djbdns is easy and secure...might not meet your needs though...bind might be better... http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto
[06:37] <mdious> bkulaga:  *  http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html
[06:37] <alekz> how can i install a ati radeon 9600 -256mb video card ? any idea ?
[06:37] <tritium> bkulaga: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIND9ServerHowto
[06:37] <DARKGuy> !ati | alekz
[06:37] <ubotu> alekz: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:37] <klobster> Darkguy: mdious: I was confused.  and also giving misinformation.  my apologies
[06:37] <bkulaga> thanks guys
[06:38] <DARKGuy> klobster: d'oh, that's ok X_x
[06:38] <DARKGuy> But I'd still like to know how can I avoid another user see the stuff in my home folder :P
[06:38] <mdious> klobster:  my fault, I started this snowball lol
[06:39] <Fezzler> In attempting to configure samba / smb.conf, I think I screwed up my User Settings.  I am the admin.  Should "root" be listed as a User in User Settings?
[06:39] <mdious> chmod -R 750 might help...but watch it
[06:39] <DARKGuy> I'm hoping to not to use that, who knows what could screw up afterwards @.@
[06:39] <mdious> DARKGuy:  chmod -R 750 /home/your_user_name will take it off for everyone else...(depending on your group)...but might want to check the specific folders
[06:40] <alekz> thanks DARKGuy
[06:40] <null__> mdious: why would he want to check the specific folders if he passed the recursive flag?
[06:40] <DARKGuy> alekz: welcome :p
[06:41] <bullgard4> How to call HAL_Device_Manager in a Gnome terminal?
[06:41] <DARKGuy> mdious: huh, guess I'll put my stuff in a folder and chmod it o.o
[06:41] <mdious> DARKGuy:  Just do it on the root of you rhome folderand that should help you out
[06:41] <mdious> null:  I meant he might want to check specific folders (if they need special permissions) before doing recursive
[06:41] <DARKGuy> mdious: but wouldn't that screw up the chmod of other folders o.O?
[06:42] <bkulaga> wow
[06:42] <mdious> DARKGuy:  I just did a test then, just take the world read off your /home/username folder
[06:42] <bkulaga> a dns server is hard as all hell
[06:42] <mdious> DARKGuy:  don't do a recursive, just chmod on the /home/username folder
[06:42] <mdious> bkulaga:  i had a lot of trouble with it also but in holidays set one up and wrote a paper on it, i could email it to you if you want
[06:43] <bkulaga> please do
[06:43] <bkulaga> because all i want to do really is to run a bot from my server
[06:43] <bkulaga> like an eggdrop for irc
[06:43] <bkulaga> and i want to be able to connect to it via putty on my windows computer and configuer it or w/e
[06:43] <bkulaga> with out typing my ip address all the time
[06:44] <mdious> bkulaga:  where should i mail it to, it includes an open office presentation to follow along with...
[06:44] <dreamingawake> .
[06:44] <DARKGuy> mdious: mkay, I'll try... thanks :p
[06:44] <mdious> bkulaga:  you don't need a dns server for that, you can just add an entry to /etc/hosts
[06:44] <bkulaga> what you mean
[06:45] <mdious> bkulaga:  it goes IP, fully qualified domain name, aliases so say the machien you want to connect to is 10.1.1.1 and name...bkulaga, you would have 10.1.1.1 bkulaga
[06:45] <mdious> bkulaga:  you should have an FQDN in there...not sure how it works if you are not on a domain though sorry
[06:45] <mdious> DARKGuy:  no worries i hope I have not trashed your system :P
[06:45] <bkulaga> oh allright
[06:45] <bkulaga> well still please send it
[06:46] <bkulaga> mdious: i sent you my email
[06:46] <mdious> bkulaga:  where?
[06:46] <bkulaga> on your private
[06:46] <bkulaga> message
[06:46] <Fezzler> as the Admin, shouldn't I have permission to move, create, delete in all User directories?
[06:46] <mdious> bkulaga:  i can't see it...let me check my settings hehe
[06:47] <bkulaga> hahaha
[06:47] <thelo> how do you edit xorg.conf for a macbook pro ?
[06:47] <thelo> X keeps crashing when I try to install from the liveCD
[06:48] <thelo> someone please help me
[06:48] <thelo> i'm lost
[06:48] <Jordan_U> thelo, You need to install fglrx from the terminal
[06:48] <tinh_> how can I monitor CPU temp?

[06:48] <bkulaga> to it : )
[06:48] <tinh_> how can I monitor CPU temp?
[06:49] <tinh_> anyone?
[06:49] <mdious> bkulaga:  ah got it sorry, will send the stuff off, let me know when it comes through
[06:49] <puff> Evening... I have a thinkpad with an ATI card.  ATI doesn't support composite, hence I can't use the Desktop effects.
[06:49] <bkulaga> ok
[06:49] <puff> I'm wondering what eye candy I *can* have... anyone know?
[06:51] <DARKGuy> puff: and what's your computer specs? that determines how *much* eye candy you *can* have :P
[06:51] <Jordan_U> puff, You can install 3ddesktop to switch desktops on a 3D cube
[06:51] <bkulaga> mdious: another question, what would the address be for my ssn?
[06:51] <bkulaga> what would i put in the putty ?
[06:51] <mdious> bkulaga:  not sure what you mean
[06:51] <DARKGuy> mdious: it worked perfectly, thanks for the help mdious & klobster ^^
[06:51] <Jordan_U> puff, You also *can* install beryl/compiz but I wouldn't recommend it
[06:51] <mdious> DARKGuy:  good to hear, hope it continues working :)
[06:52] <Jordan_U> bkulaga, ssh?
[06:52] <onexused> I'm using Ubuntu 6.10.  Is it possible to change thing that asks for the user's password when they try to run something like the package installer so it doesn't gray the screen and stop you from doing anything else until you type something in a la Windows Vista?  That is, I want to be able to do things sometimes before typing in my password or clicking cancel.
[06:52] <DARKGuy> hehe, me too xD
[06:52] <bkulaga> yes
[06:52] <bkulaga> if i just installed ubuntu desktop
[06:52] <bkulaga> and i would want to connect to it via putty
[06:52] <bkulaga> what would the address be for it
[06:52] <mdious> bkulaga:  that stuff should have sent, sorry to be selfish everyone...need to apply for some jobs and i can't concentrate because i keep wanting to chit chat...thanks everyone for the company, all the best ^_^
[06:53] <bkulaga> ok thx
[06:53] <mdious> bkulaga:  if you put the ip and name into /etc/hosts then you could use the hostname, otherwise put the ip address in...
[06:53] <mdious> Cya's
[06:53] <tinh_> how can I monitor CPU temp? please help
[06:53] <bkulaga> ok thx
[06:53] <Jordan_U> bkulaga, First, you need to install ssh, then username@ip adress
[06:54] <bkulaga> ok, can i change the "ip address" to for example bkulaga.com or is that all about the dns
[06:55] <persept> I need some help, I have two partitions, and I booted up into the live installer, but it won't let me install linux on one of those partitions
[06:55] <persept> it only lets me start over completly
[06:55] <puff> DARKGuy: Intel Pentium M 770 2.13 GHz, 2GB memory, 15" TFT active matrix UXGA (1600 x 1200), ATI MOBILITY FIRE GL V3200 - 128 MB
[06:55] <persept> I don't want to mess up my other OS
[06:55] <onexused> The thing that asks for your password when you're trying to run something that needs root permissions: is there a setting that I can change it so I can do things before typing in the password? (I'm using 6.10 /w gnome)
[06:56] <bkulaga> Jordan_U the last part my ip if i would want that to be bkulaga.com that all has to do with the dns right?
[06:56] <Jordan_U> bkulaga, Yes
[06:56] <bkulaga> thank u
[06:56] <puff> That reminds me... Last week I upgraded to feisty.  Previously I'd had to take special steps to install a kernel suited to my CPU to get the real CPU performance.  Do I need to re-do this?
[06:57] <yoink_23> onexused, that does sound helpful...problem is i've never seen that done
[06:57] <puff> onexused: That thing is probably gksu or gksudo.
[06:57] <tovella> tinh_: you could use lm-sensors
[06:57] <Jordan_U> puff, No, and as of Dapper it didn't really make a difference
[06:57] <Flannel> puff: assuming you have something i386, generic kernel is what you want.  And it was in Edgy too
[06:57] <puff> Jordan_U: Ah, cool.
[06:57] <tinh_> lm-sensors?
[06:57] <Flannel> Jordan_U: as of edgy.  Dapper merged SMP/UP
[06:57] <puff> Any suggestions for any other things I should do after upgrading?
[06:57] <bullgard4> How to call HAL_Device_Manager in a Gnome terminal?
[06:57] <Xbehave> can you use 2 swap partitions? which 1 would be used 1st?
[06:57] <onexused> yoink, ok.  thanks anyway
[06:58] <onexused> puff, thanks.  maybe since I know what it's called I can actually look it up now : )
[06:58] <Fezzler> someone asked me "on a normal linux box you can map a windows user name to be root on the linux  box - i don't know if it will work with your no root ubuntu box"  I don't know?
[06:58] <bullgard4> Wie ruft man den Gertemanager auf der Kommandozeile auf?
[06:58] <onexused> I'll pole around on my own some more.  See you guys.
[06:58] <Flannel> !de | bullgard4
[06:58] <onexused> poke*
[06:59] <Flannel> Fezzler: what?  Map a windows user to a linux...what?
[06:59] <Jordan_U> !de | bullgard4
[06:59] <Flannel> bullgard4: #ubuntu-de fur deutschsprache
[07:00] <insomniac190> i am trying to save a file on my sd card and it says i dont have enough space.  but i just got rid of a ton of stuff on it.  any help?
[07:01] <persept_> when I try to install, it doesn't let me edit the partition table, it for some reason makes me start over, and delete my partition map, but I have another OS installed I can't write over
[07:02] <persept_> I have a partition ready for ubuntu, but ubuntu doesn't let me pick partitons
[07:02] <persept_> how do I make it so that I can pick the partition
[07:03] <Jordan_U> persept_, I havn't used the new partitioner yet but it should let you choose whatever layout you want
[07:03] <ill3nium> hello all. im having a problem with ident and ipv6 on fiesty. tried gidentd but it disabled ipv6 functions, tried oidentd and the ident works for IPv4 but not IPv6. any ideas? other ident servers to try or configuration changes to make?
[07:03] <persept_> Jordan_U: at what version was the partitioner changed? maybe I can revert to the old one and then update
[07:05] <Jordan_U> persept_, Feisty, but if you are going to do that you might as well install with the Alternate install CD, it gives you more options and it will give you Feisty ( but can you post a screen shot because I doubt that they removed features )
[07:06] <persept_> Jordan_U: that is a non-graphical installer? and what did you mean about posting screen-shots
[07:07] <Jordan_U> persept_, Yes, that is the text based ( but psudo-graphical in that it is menu based ) and I meant post screenshots of the installer menu so I can see if I can figure it out
[07:08] <persept_> Jordan_U: I bet it is because I have a mac, that the new partitioner doesn't want to read the mac's partition table :( the old one worked though, I had installed Ubuntu before
[07:08] <westoncampbell> Can someone help me with a SAMBA problem? I can't view my Windows networks in Ubuntu...
[07:09] <westoncampbell> Well, when I go to Places > Network, the Windows workgroups seem to be visible (MSHOME, WORKGROUP, etc.) and the computer names are visible when entering those workgroups... The only problem is that when clicking on one of the computer names to view the shared files, NOTHING happens. I'm just staring at an empty directory when I know that there are files there! Firewall is OFF.
[07:09] <ill3nium> westoncampbell, have you enabled file sharing on the pc's?
[07:09] <Jordan_U> persept_, Actually Feisty was updated to understand GPT partition tables ( I have a mac ) I installed on my mac in the developement phase before the new installer interface was on by default
[07:10] <westoncampbell> Yes... Sharing files on all the windows PCs work fine
[07:10] <westoncampbell> I just made switch to Ubuntu and that's one problem I need to learn to fix.
[07:11] <persept_> Jordan_U: I have a PPC mac, it might have something with Ubuntu dropping official support for PPC
[07:11] <Fezzler> someone asked, "since there is no 'user' root in /etc/passwd i don't think mapping a windows user to linux user root is possible with ubuntu - ask in #ubuntu"
[07:11] <Fezzler> Flannel: yes, map Windows users to Ubuntu via samba and smb
[07:11] <mike01> how do i download this script without all the #s on it http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/dvb/get_dvb_firmware
[07:11] <rjohnson> Do a "sudo apt-get install smbclient" to get access to the PCs
[07:11] <ill3nium> hmm, it's worked fine for me so i havent had to mess with Samba much
[07:12] <Miso> how do i set the directory to desktop in terminal.. what is that command?
[07:13] <rjohnson> cd ~\Desktop
[07:13] <westoncampbell> Now I get the "Sorry, Can't show results" error using SAMBA
[07:13] <ill3nium> Miso, it's case sensitive
[07:13] <rjohnson> cd ~/Desktop, sorry
[07:13] <westoncampbell> hmm... Samba is installed.. I guess it's a Windows problem.. who knows...
[07:14] <Jordan_U> persept_, Ahh, that would make sense, I don't think that the alternate install CD has changed ( same as breezy even ) so it should still work
[07:14] <Miso> rjohnson that didn't work
[07:14] <rjohnson> I never had to mess with Samba configs at all
[07:14] <diabolix>  / not \
[07:14] <rjohnson> It was a typo......do a "cd ~/Desktop"
[07:14] <diabolix> cd ~/Destop
[07:14] <Miso> rjohnson thanks
[07:14] <rjohnson> No problem

[07:14] <ill3nium> anyone experienced with identd servers that could help with my issue above?
[07:15] <puff> Jordan_U: 3ddesktop is neat;  do you know how to bind a key to invoke it?
[07:15] <dfgas> on kde how do i set my monitor power off time?
[07:15] <meeow> i just installed ubuntu last night and i had to change the video settings, now when i try boot the system goes to a video mode out of range and it wont boot
[07:16] <ill3nium> Miso: the absolute path is:  cd /home/<logon id>/Desktop
[07:18] <chuck`_> http://pastebin.ca/506661 -- are these many active instances of apache2 normal? (re: "Working as Intended")
[07:18] <Striking7> Anyone know any good FOSS games?
[07:19] <Flannel> !games | Striking7
[07:19] <ubotu> Striking7: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php and ubuntugames.org
[07:19] <abdelrahman_> Hi, i have linux installed on my HD and i plan to replace my Motherboard/ram will i need to reinstall or will it work?
[07:19] <westoncampbell> Striking7: Have you checked the games using the package manager? There's usually some good ones there... Usually simple games, but fun none the less :-)
[07:19] <Striking7> Flannel: heh. I take it that gets asked a lot here.
[07:20] <Flannel> !away > joseSleep
[07:20] <joseSleep> Buh?
[07:20] <Striking7> westoncampbell: I'm checking it out now and finding a large list, so I was hoping to hear personal recommendations.
[07:21] <meeow> anyone here able to help me with a slightly more advanced problem?
[07:21] <Striking7> Flannel: am I able to say "!away" to set my own status as away?
[07:21] <wastedfluid> Stupid question:  what's the name of the C Compiler in Synaptics Package Manager?
[07:21] <Striking7> meeow: I'll do my best
[07:21] <Striking7> wasstedfuild: gcc
[07:21] <wastedfluid> ty bud
[07:21] <Striking7> sure thing.
[07:21] <Flannel> Striking7: no.  That's an ubotu command, but he can give you some good info on doing it
[07:21] <westoncampbell> Striking7: Well, in that case, let me know if you find any good  games from someone else.... I guess I'm in the same "boat" as you.
[07:21] <Striking7> wastedfluid: You may want G++ as well.
[07:21] <Flannel> !away > Striking7
[07:22] <wastedfluid> OK.
[07:22] <tritium> wastedfluid: if you intend to build from source, you should install the build-essential metapackage
[07:22] <meeow> Striking7 : last night i did my first install of ubuntu, but on the first screen when it boots off the CD i had to change VGA options or it wouldnt boot
[07:22] <tritium> !b-e | wastedfluid
[07:22] <Striking7> westoncampbell :-)
[07:22] <ubotu> wastedfluid: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[07:22] <HiddenHax> HAPPY!
[07:22] <tritium> Striking7: you should check that out too...
[07:22] <Striking7> meeow: Ok.
[07:22] <meeow> Striking7 : so i got it booted and i installed it, now when i just boot it wont boot
[07:22] <meeow> i think it goes into a screen mode it cant handle
[07:22] <Striking7> tritium: sorry, missed that.
[07:22] <meeow> so how do i tell it to boot into a better screen mode?
[07:23] <Striking7> meeow: have you tried booting to rescue mode?
[07:23] <meeow> no
[07:23] <Striking7> Just so you know for sure it's a graphics issue?
[07:23] <DVS01> what is better to use.. unionfs or aufs?
[07:23] <Striking7> Also, what kind of graphics card do you have?
[07:23] <meeow> its definately a gfx issue
[07:23] <meeow> its an pci-e ATI x800XL
[07:23] <Striking7> Oh fun.
[07:23] <Striking7> ATI.
[07:23] <Striking7> I'm in the same boat.
[07:23] <abdelrahman_> Hi, i have linux installed on my HD and i plan to replace my Motherboard/ram will i need to reinstall or will it work?
[07:24] <Striking7> I fixed mine though...
[07:24] <Striking7> Ok, a few things, what version of Ubuntu are you running?
[07:24] <meeow> the latest one
[07:24] <meeow> latest stable
[07:24] <Striking7> Ok.  Are you currently using the machine in question, or can you reboot it and let us guide you?
[07:24] <wastedfluid> One mroe stupid question:  What's another package like KNetworkmanager that's not going to ask me for a KDE Wallet password everytime I want to connect to the internet?
[07:24] <meeow> naah, its at home and im at work
[07:25] <meeow> but a point in the right direction and ill work the rest out
[07:25] <Striking7> wastedfluid: if you find out, let me know :-)
[07:25] <wastedfluid> And gsynaptics wants an XML Parser..  hehe, that package name??
[07:25] <wastedfluid> Striking7: damn, that doesn't sound promising :(
[07:25] <Striking7> meeow: Ok.  The first thing to do is reboot into rescue mode, and edit "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[07:25] <Striking7> wastedfluid: I haven't really looked, so be optimistic :-)
[07:25] <meeow> Striking7 : so booting into rescue mode will drop me in console?
[07:25] <wastedfluid> Oh.  Okay.  Know hte name of the XML Parser gsynaptics wants?
[07:26] <Striking7> meeow: yes, it will.
[07:26] <wastedfluid> XML Parser Perl MOdule
[07:26] <meeow> ah cool, then i can edit from there
[07:26] <meeow> then install correct ATI drivers
[07:26] <Striking7> meeow: yep.  Once in there, you want to disable 3D acceleration.
[07:26] <meeow> why disable?
[07:26] <Striking7> meeow: yeah, if you feel comfortable installing the drivers from the console you can.
[07:26] <Striking7> If you're pretty new you might want to just disable 3D as the first step
[07:27] <Striking7> Then you can boot into a graphical desktop and do research from there.
[07:27] <meeow> ah
[07:27] <Striking7> It'll help you get better acquainted with your system before having to dive right into installing drivers from the console.
[07:27] <meeow> okay
[07:27] <Striking7> It's your choice, of course.
[07:27] <meeow> Striking7 : but is drivers the issue?>
[07:28] <Striking7> meeow: I'm pretty darn confident it is.
[07:28] <Striking7> ATI drivers can be really really finicky.
[07:29] <Striking7> I've been using Ubuntu on this machine since 4 releases ago.
[07:29] <Striking7> Each version, ATI's drivers had different problems I had to figure out how to fix.
[07:29] <bullgard4> When calling hal-device-manager my Gnome terminal prints 'PropertyModified, device=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/acpi_BAT0'. 'cd /; ls' does not list a directory '/org'. What stands 'device=/org/...' for?
[07:29] <Striking7> So I'm pretty darn familiar with them.
[07:29] <Striking7> meeow: let me PM you my contact info in case you need further help and I'm not on IRC.
[07:29] <Striking7> meeow: is that ok?
[07:30] <Fivetwentysix> Is it even neccessary to install a virus scanner on Ubuntu?
[07:31] <Frogzoo> Fivetwentysix: only if you're serving files/mail to windows clients
[07:31] <Striking7> Fivetwentysix: depends on what you use it for and how much it's worth other people to hack you.  For standard desktop use (and not visiting questionable websites) I'd say no.
[07:32] <Striking7> Fivetwentysix: I've never had a virus in Ubuntu or any version of Linux/FreeBSD that I've used over the last 5 years and I've never used an antivirus, but caution can't hurt.
[07:32] <Fivetwentysix> Are there even any anti viruses?
[07:32] <crdlb> !virus
[07:32] <ubotu> A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21
[07:32] <Fezzler> Can I ctrl-alt-F4 to command line, change to root user and start second instance of a graphical file manager?
[07:33] <Fivetwentysix> From all i know
[07:33] <Natas347> Just wondering. I'm trying to install Ubuntu 7.04 from LiveCD but my mouse keeps freezing. It's a standard Microsoft optical mouse. It will function for a short period of time before becoming unresponsive. Everything else still works. (I can navigate menus using keyboard, etc.)
[07:33] <Frogzoo> Fivetwentysix: clamav - also 'apt-cache search virus'
[07:33] <Striking7> meeow: Check out this website - http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Feisty_Installation_Guide
[07:33] <Jordan_U> Fezzler, No, but you can do the same from an xterm / gnome terminal
[07:33] <Fivetwentysix> because of permissions and how the kernal was coded viruses can't really spread and do much damage even if you do get infected some how
[07:34] <Akuma_> is there a way to preview an image stored with attachment_fu ?
[07:34] <wastedfluid> Striking7: stupid question.  I downloaded gsynaptics, ran ./configure.. and after I run make, i still can't run gsynaptics, it says not found.. what did I miss?
[07:34] <GomoX> Fivetwentysix: that's pretty naive
[07:34] <Jordan_U> wastedfluid, make-install
[07:34] <wastedfluid> OK; Ty.
[07:34] <GomoX> Fivetwentysix: a virus running under your user could easitly wipe out your home directory which typically is what you care most about
[07:34] <Striking7> Fezzler: you could always use alt+f2 and type "gksudo nautilus" to start a second instance of the file manager as root
[07:34] <wastedfluid> it says make-insatll not found
[07:34] <GomoX> wastedfluid: why do you want to download and build stuff?
[07:34] <Striking7> wastedfluid:
[07:34] <Jordan_U> wastedfluid, space not dash, sorry
[07:34] <Striking7> wastedfluid: first type "make"
[07:35] <Striking7> wastedfluid: then when that finishes, type "sudo make install"
[07:35] <wastedfluid> I want to download gsynaptics so I can set Touchpaddoff to 2
[07:35] <GomoX> wastedfluid: don't use make install
[07:35] <Natas347> Anyone else having these mouse problems?
[07:35] <Fivetwentysix> Oh yeah
[07:35] <Striking7> GomoX: Why not?
[07:35] <wastedfluid> I don't know the difference.. so could you tell my why not? :|
[07:35] <GomoX> use checkinstall, which is a separate package
[07:35] <Fivetwentysix> Good point GomoX
[07:35] <GomoX> hold on
[07:35] <Jordan_U> wastedfluid, why not just change it in your xorg.conf?
[07:35] <Striking7> GomoX: this is new to me :-p
[07:35] <GomoX> Natas347: not really, sorry
[07:36] <Natas347> Yikes
[07:36] <GomoX> Striking7: it's a turning point in a debian user's life
[07:36] <wastedfluid> Jordan_U: I was afraid that if I did, without installing gsynaptics.. maybe it wouldn't work
[07:36] <wastedfluid> I thought perhaps gsynaptics used a different driver
[07:36] <Striking7> Natas347: I haven't either :-\
[07:36] <Striking7> GomoX: I started with FreeBSD.  Forgive me :-)
[07:36] <wastedfluid> and if I tried to ste Touchpadoff in xorg.conf without gsynaptics, maybe something would happen.. lol
[07:36] <GomoX> wastedfluid: instead of downloading by hand, use the command "sudo apt-get install gsynaptics"
[07:36] <wastedfluid> I did.  It said package not found.
[07:36] <Natas347> Shoot.
[07:36] <GomoX> wastedfluid: software is not installed by downloading stuff from the web on linux
[07:36] <Striking7> Natas347: sorry :\
[07:36] <Jordan_U> wastedfluid, do you have universe enabled?
[07:36] <Natas347> It's okay
[07:36] <wastedfluid> Yes
[07:36] <wastedfluid> I do
[07:37] <wastedfluid> because I downloaded banshee, and etc
[07:37] <Akuma_> wastedfluid: did you update the list?
[07:37] <wastedfluid> yeah
[07:37] <Fivetwentysix> how many windows virus epidemics happen a day?
[07:37] <wastedfluid> well I've already installed it now
[07:37] <wastedfluid> lol
[07:37] <GomoX> Striking7: no biggie
[07:37] <wastedfluid> it just wants me to set SHMCOnfig to true
[07:37] <GomoX> Striking7: I assume freebsd stuff has make uninstall all the time, right?
[07:37] <Jordan_U> !info gsynaptics | wastedfluid
[07:37] <wizard> I installed Pidgin from source, should i anticipate that in upgrading to 7.04, its gonna break?
[07:37] <Fivetwentysix> can you get your money back if you disagree with the eula?
[07:38] <Jordan_U> wizard, Yes
[07:38] <Striking7> GomoX: I was pretty new in my FreeBSD days. Never really had to uninstall stuff - usually ended up breaking something through tinkering before I'd need to uninstall anything
[07:38] <wizard> Jordan_U: so just re-run the source install?
[07:38] <Miso> how can i install planeshift so that i can run it from a secondary account?
[07:38] <wizard> Jordan_U: or is there a repo for it yet? or what?
[07:38] <Jordan_U> wizard, Or uninstal it and use a .deb
[07:38] <wizard> Jordan_U: .debs are overrated, compiling is good for you.
[07:38] <Jordan_U> wizard, getdeb.com has it
[07:38] <Striking7> Fivetwentysix: depends on who you bought your computer from.
[07:39] <wizard> Jordan_U: so theres no doubt it'll break?
[07:39] <Jordan_U> wizard, Yea, but it's not the debian way :)
[07:39] <felik_ng> halo
[07:39] <wastedfluid> Where do I put SHMConfig at in xorg?
[07:39] <wizard> now now, linux is all about compiling, things like .deb only make it easier
[07:39] <wizard> to say compiling is not a linux way of sourt
[07:39] <Jordan_U> wizard, I wouldn't say that there is no doubt, but it is likely
[07:39] <wastedfluid> under your synaptics input?
[07:39] <Fivetwentysix> Striking7 i mean say you bought windows
[07:39] <Fivetwentysix> can you return it
[07:39] <wizard> is like to say that linux shouldn't be configurably.
[07:39] <wizard> wow
[07:40] <LorenCA> Q - Anyone use php? Which Editor?
[07:40] <wizard> configurable*
[07:40] <wizard> i can't type today.
[07:40] <Striking7> wizard: Linux is all about choice, be it .deb or compiling, eh?
[07:40] <PurpZeY> wastedfluid: it goes under the synaptics settings
[07:40] <wizard> Striking7: Amen. preach it
[07:40] <Striking7> Fivetwentysix: you can buy windows in a variety of ways.
[07:40] <Striking7> Fivetwentysix: if it comes pre-packaged with your computer...
[07:40] <Friend> Hello.
[07:41] <Striking7> Fivetwentysix: some vendors already stuck it in the fine print when you bought the machine that you won't return your copy of windows.
[07:41] <Striking7> Hello, Friend.
[07:41] <Fivetwentysix> LorenCA: gphpedit :-)
[07:41] <wizard> fine print eh?
[07:41] <LorenCA> ^_^ ty Fivetwentysix
[07:41] <Friend> Hey, guys, do any of you know anything about Intel D975XBX2 motherboard support in Ubuntu?
[07:41] <wizard> how can you say you validly agree to the fine print when in most cases you need to either open the box first or turn the pc on?
[07:42] <GomoX> Compiling is for when you are building a package
[07:42] <Fivetwentysix> But really editors for php is really unneccessary since php will tell you where your problems are
[07:42] <GomoX> Nothing more
[07:42] <GomoX> Fivetwentysix: you are kidding right?
[07:42] <felik_ng> #pekanbaru
[07:42] <Fivetwentysix> Nope
[07:42] <Jordan_U> wizard, You agreed to a license when you bought it
[07:42] <PurpZeY> wizard: You consent to the agreement, when you 1) Install, 2) By the product....
[07:42] <Striking7> wizard: a lot of the time it appears in a eula-type-thing on the web page when you purchase online (if you purchase online)
[07:43] <GomoX> Fivetwentysix: PHP has the most brain dead set of error messages I have ever seen in a programming language
[07:43] <Fivetwentysix> When I code in php i ussually write 200 lines of code then test it out
[07:43] <wastedfluid> Wow.  Am I retarded?  GSynaptics says "You put set SHMConfig to True" - so i went into xorg.conf and added Option "SHMConfig" "True" .. and it still won't run; do you have to log out + ctrl+alt+backspace?
[07:43] <wizard> Striking7: exactly, say you don't, and you're not made aware of such thing before turning the pc on, i'd claim BS
[07:43] <codename> Hey guys may I ask a question?
[07:43] <HiddenHax> yes
[07:43] <Fivetwentysix> If there are any problems it'll only take 1 or 2 minutes to fix them all
[07:43] <Striking7> GomoX: preach it about the error messages.
[07:43] <HiddenHax> wth?
[07:43] <PurpZeY> !ask | codename
[07:43] <Fivetwentysix> Yeah but you get use to them
[07:44] <HiddenHax> what happened?
[07:44] <Flannel> !netsplit
[07:44] <Fivetwentysix> Lol
[07:44] <codename> I think Linux has crashed, the screen  went all staticy, any ideas?
[07:44] <Fivetwentysix> this reminds me of battle.net
[07:44] <Striking7> wizard: in that case the company wouldn't have a case to deny you.  But most companies that have a "you can't return your Windows copy" type clause force you to check "I agree" before you can hit "buy"
[07:44] <Friend> Seriously dudes, I haven't tried Ubuntu, but when I installed Debian I wouldn't get any sound out of my motherboard, and likewise on WinXP until I installed drivers, but Intel web site doesn't have Linux drivers for this board (at least not yet).
[07:44] <Fivetwentysix> back in those early diablo days
[07:44] <Fivetwentysix> where the servers would always split in the chat channels
[07:44] <Jordan_U> codename, Try pressing ctrl+alt+F1
[07:44] <HiddenHax> Ubuntu fried my graphics card lol
[07:45] <Striking7> Friend: Hrm.  Have you tried searching the web for some Debian forums?
[07:45] <Akuma_> how do i reinstall grub after installing WinXP?
[07:45] <PurpZeY> wizard: it's really really simple....You don't have to buy their product, if you do you consent.
[07:45] <tritium> HiddenHax: be serious...
[07:45] <Fivetwentysix> Akuma_ windows xp doesn't delete grub
[07:45] <HiddenHax> foreal
[07:45] <Striking7> Friend: Or you can, of course, try the liveCD with Ubuntu.  I was impressed with Ubuntu's driver support.
[07:45] <GomoX> Fivetwentysix: actually yes
[07:45] <Fivetwentysix> Just go into bios and make sure you boot from your Linux partition
[07:45] <Jordan_U> Fivetwentysix, Yes it does
[07:45] <wizard> PurpZeY: why would a manufacture even care if u don't want windows? how does it effect their revenue in any way?
[07:45] <GomoX> Friend: when did you try debian?
[07:45] <Fivetwentysix> Oh really?
[07:45] <Akuma_> Fivetwentysix: i did this time
[07:46] <wizard> !beryl
[07:46] <PurpZeY> wizard: They don't care if you don't want it. But you don't get to return it.
[07:46] <Akuma_> Fivetwentysix: or if its not deleted, at least the BIOS doesn't seem to call it
[07:46] <syosoft> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=438543 so i followed that....and rebooted, xwin was hosed, had to revert to nv driver....just figured out that if i run ./nvidia-install every time i boot i can then run x and joost...so - i'm guessing this is an annoyance i have to live with or something that can be fixed?
[07:46] <Jordan_U> wizard, Because Microsoft gives them kickbacks to "care"
[07:46] <stiv2k> hey what's the difference between suspend and suspend2
[07:46] <PurpZeY> @Jordan_U
[07:46] <Nergar_> does anyone know a way to install ubuntu to a usb hdd?
[07:46] <eDDie> can some1 help me mount a hdd automatically on system start?
[07:46] <wizard> dude ubotu take a day off?
[07:46] <Friend> Well, yeah, the reason I'm asking here is because the Ubuntu forums seem to have topics relevant to my situation. Debian, although this would be my preferred distribution, seems to only have support for older hardware...
[07:46] <Striking7> Jordan_U: True.  OEM discounts are huge.
[07:46] <wizard> !hello
[07:47] <wizard> whats up with the bot yo?
[07:47] <Fezzler> It has been suggested to me tonight that the default linux install of Ubuntu puts too much junk and unneeded programs on your computer and that the reason the IRC is so active is folks are having trouble and lesser known distros like mandriva are cleaner, safer, more stable.  Respones?  I'm too new to knwo
[07:47] <Striking7> Friend: I would love to help but I don't have experience with Debian other than Debian derived distros like Ubuntu, Linspire, and Mepis.
[07:47] <Nergar_> does anyone know a way to install ubuntu to a usb hdd??? i really need it, my internal HD is broken!!!
[07:47] <Xbehave> does windows xp need a primary partition to make it bootable?
[07:47] <PurpZeY> Nergar_: There are several wikis about that, it's possible to install to a flash drive
[07:47] <GomoX> Friend: Debian will recognize everything you throw at it
[07:47] <GomoX> Friend: still, ubuntu is a better choice for a desktop distro
[07:47] <Nergar_> PurpZeY, mind handing me a link?
[07:47] <Fivetwentysix> I have 3 harddrives on this computer :-)
[07:48] <GomoX> Friend: trust me on that, i just switched
[07:48] <Fivetwentysix> to SATAII drives and 1 IDE
[07:48] <wizard> Fezzler: imh, ubuntu is one of the ones that has the least ammount of crap on it that the end user doesn't need
[07:48] <Friend> I'm not exactly sure if I would have the same sound issues with Ubuntu, I'm just assuming that since WinXP didn't support my on-board audio without installing drivers that Ubuntu won't support my audio without drivers. But Intel doesn't have Linux drivers for my motherboard.
[07:48] <andy_a> what percentage of the entire partitions is swap usually? i've got swap set to 2x ram - 100 megabytes.
[07:48] <HiddenHax> anyone know a good 128 mb nvidia card compatible with Ubuntu? my current one fried after one year on Ubuntu...
[07:48] <Striking7> Friend: Don't assume that just because Windows doesn't, Linux doesn't.
[07:48] <andy_a> of the entire hard drive space**..
[07:49] <GomoX> Friend: you have an intel brand motherboard?
[07:49] <GomoX> Friend: if so, trust me, sound will work
[07:49] <Friend> 975xbx2
[07:49] <PurpZeY> Nergar_: http://www.ubuntuswitch.com/2006/08/01/installing-ubuntu-on-an-external-usb-hard-drive/
[07:49] <Striking7> Friend: Windows doesn't support my wireless without drivers, Ubuntu does.  Windows doesn't do my sound or 3D video without drivers: Ubuntu does.
[07:49] <Xbehave> andy_a: most people do that to the limit of 1GB, so it depends on the size of the HDD
[07:49] <Fezzler> wiz: I've been hanging out at #samba and some 20+ year sys ops are really less impressed by Ubuntu and they way they shield root from Admin, etc.
[07:49] <Jordan_U> Friend, There is a good chance that your sound card will "just work" with no driver installation or configuration whatsoever
[07:49] <wizard> Striking7:  did it support your llama petting fetish? giggity giggity.
[07:49] <andy_a> let me rephfrase, what are the default percentages in ubuntu**.
[07:50] <Xbehave> Striking7: thats imposible! how can it us hardware without drivers?
[07:50] <Striking7> wizard: YOU KNOW IT.
[07:50] <Nergar_> thnx a lot PurpZeY !!!
[07:50] <syosoft> no driver "install or configure" (on your part)
[07:50] <andy_a> and is the swap drive the logical drive.... that's the last question i promise :)
[07:50] <Fezzler> One kind fellow suggested that a clean install of Ubuntu was a vulnerable, unsafe internet box
[07:50] <Striking7> Xbehave: Now quit picking on technicalities. I mean it supported it without me having to install drivers myself.
[07:50] <Friend> Well, the reason I am making this assumption is also because when I installed Debian my on-board audio wasn't working...but once more, I didn't have non-WinXP drivers.
[07:50] <Striking7> Friend: An understandable assumption.
[07:51] <Striking7> Friend: It's fairly probable that Ubuntu will do better though.  I know it did for my wireless, sound, and video.
[07:51] <Friend> It's possible that since my motherboard is fairly new that it won't necessarily be supported so soon.
[07:51] <Jordan_U> Fezzler, That friend was wrong, there is nothing listening to anything on a default Ubuntu install, no services whatsoever listening on any port
[07:51] <GomoX> Friend: installing drivers is so 1997
[07:51] <Fezzler> So after researching a month for what Linux to learn and install, settling on Ubuntu, which I'm amazed by, old timers are telling me beware
[07:51] <GomoX> Friend: ubuntu just works
[07:51] <GomoX> Friend: even more so with a vanilla intel motherboard
[07:51] <Striking7> Friend: Most onboard audio stuff has been standardized for almost 10 years.
[07:51] <codename> Linux possibly crashing, I got questions.
[07:51] <codename> Thanks :)
[07:52] <HiddenHax> anyone know a good 128 mb nvidia card compatible with Ubuntu? my current one fried after one year on Ubuntu...
[07:52] <Tom47> Gomox thank you for assistance yesterday i have the xsane / printing working just fine now
[07:52] <darwin81> Has anyone ever heard of a Ubuntu DVD that has all 4 official derivatives?
[07:52] <GomoX> Fezzler: I thought the same, I used Debian all my life and thought Ubuntu was kind of gay. Man, was I wrong.
[07:52] <Jordan_U> codename, Did ctrl+alt+F1 bring you to a terminal?
[07:52] <codename> It brought me to Verbose mode.
[07:52] <GomoX> Tom47: sweet :)
[07:52] <Xbehave> can we cut the rubish here, alot of harware isnt supported the, its always best to check a HCL.
[07:52] <Friend> My other issue is...I tried booting with a Kubuntu LiveCD, but I couldn't get the GUI/X server to work.
[07:52] <HiddenHax> codename my Ubuntu crashed 10 times in 1 week...
[07:52] <Fezzler> wiz:  Jorndan: So push on with Ubuntu?
[07:52] <codename> Did it go all staticy
[07:52] <codename> and stuff
[07:53] <Jordan_U> codename, what do you mean by verbose mode?
[07:53] <GomoX> Xbehave: not with an Intel motherboard
[07:53] <codename> and your mouse went all blocky
[07:53] <HiddenHax> worse
[07:53] <wizard> theres a reason why ubuntu comes in the form of a live CD
[07:53] <wizard> it lets you check compatability before you go any further
[07:53] <wizard> which should give you room to think.
[07:53] <Striking7> Friend: Yikes! Sucky.  What kind of graphics card do you have?
[07:53] <Friend> GeForce 8800 gts
[07:53] <HiddenHax> Ubutu just overpowers my system
[07:53] <usea> when booting from the ubuntu cd (fawn), trying to check the cd for errors or trying to start/install ubuntu gives me the same message. /bin/sh: can't access tty: job control turned off.  then I get a (initramfs) prompt
[07:53] <HiddenHax> are there any 8800 at 128 mb?
[07:54] <Xbehave> i thought intel had terrible drivers, they work but plenty of bugs, atleast gfx wise
[07:54] <TryingToInstallU> should i check the format tab on the prepare partitions screen of the ubuntu install? i'm having to custom install because it only gave me the option of taking up all of the space on the drive and removing data that can't be lost.
[07:54] <TryingToInstallU> on each partition**
[07:54] <Xbehave> liveCDs are ok but a HCL is much better some hardware will work with patches/compiled drivers ect
[07:54] <usea> I'm not an experienced user, so I don't know if it's the result of faulty hardware or if I'm doing something wrong or what
[07:54] <TryingToInstallU> on each new partition**
[07:54] <Friend> Striking7: I have a geforce 8800 gts video card.
[07:55] <GomoX> Xbehave: any intel motherboard with onboard sound will work in any linux distro post 2002 out of the box
[07:55] <Fezzler> wiz: As Admin. , should I have permission to work/revise all user folders, etc.?
[07:55] <Friend> I tried running the command for starting kde but it would tell me that it couldn't get x server to start.
[07:55] <Goetmet> why does update_attribute set all the attributes?
[07:55] <Goetmet> and not only the one I want
[07:55] <Friend> katapult I believe was the command.
[07:56] <GomoX> Friend: you don't run any commands to "run KDE"
[07:56] <Jordan_U> Fezzler, No, but you can gain that right as root using sudo
[07:56] <GomoX> you take the ubuntu CD
[07:56] <GomoX> put it on the tray
[07:56] <Jordan_U> !sudo | Fezzler
[07:56] <GomoX> click next next next ok ok ok next next and you GET KDE
[07:56] <usea> any suggestions? I have no idea what to do
[07:56] <HiddenHax> Lol great xchat just crashed
[07:57] <Friend> I had the Kubuntu Live CD. It wouldn't load the GUI, so I was stuck in command-line. And so I tried running the command and it told me it couldn't start x server.
[07:57] <Fezzler> Jordan: I am aware of sudo, but can I sudo and get use of a GUI file system
[07:57] <belfegor> good morning
[07:57] <Jordan_U> usea, I would try the Alternate install CD
[07:57] <Akuma_> Fezzler: gksudo
[07:57] <Jordan_U> Fezzler, Yes, gksudo nautilus
[07:58] <Friend> :(
[07:58] <GomoX> Friend: if it doesn't start the GUI then it won't work even if you tell it to start - the reason it didn't start is precisely that it doesn't work
[07:58] <usea> also, selecting memory test just restarts the computer
[07:58] <Friend> Yeah, I realize that. :p
[07:58] <HiddenHax> anyone know what causes screen flashes when a graphic card is powering up?
[07:58] <Friend> That is why I am trying to figure out why it didn't work.
[07:58] <eleolr> what hardware requirements ubuntu needs
[07:58] <eleolr> minimun hardware
[07:58] <Friend> In particular, since it couldn't get x server to start, then gnome wouldn't work either.
[07:59] <slickn1ck> besdies clamav, any other recomendations for virus protection?
[07:59] <Fezzler> Jordan: Can I crtl-alt-F4, run gksudo nautilus, and have two instances of nautilus running temporarily?
[07:59] <Jordan_U> Friend, Try running this and choose "vesa" when it asks what driver to use: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh && sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart
[07:59] <aaron_> I need help with wireless setup, can anyone help?
[07:59] <Jordan_U> !anyone | aaron_
[07:59] <Jordan_U> aaron_, Just ask :)
[08:00] <Friend> Okay, thanks.
[08:00] <Friend> I'll see if that works.
[08:00] <defrysk> slickn1ck, linux os a good virus protection in itself
[08:00] <eleolr> can anyone tell me which hardware requirements are needed for ubuntu
[08:00] <eleolr> minimun RAM and CPU
[08:00] <aaron_> well, i'm having serious trouble trying to get a Realtek 8185 chip set working
[08:00] <eleolr> ??\
[08:00] <Jordan_U> eleolr, 64 meg RAM and a p3 I would say
[08:00] <GomoX> eleolr: depends on the GUI you want to use
[08:01] <Fivetwentysix> eleolr how about tell us your system specs
[08:01] <eleolr> KDE for desktop use
[08:01] <GomoX> XFCE should be fine with 256 and any CPU
[08:01] <DVS01> which package can i remove to entirely remove kde, gnome, and evreything x related?
[08:01] <slickn1ck> defrysk : say to make your IT department happy :P
[08:01] <Fezzler> Jordan: gksudo nautilus produces GKT-WARNING Can't open display
[08:02] <Tom47> DVS01: might be easier and quicker to install the server
[08:02] <ubotu> wastedfluid: gsynaptics: configuration tool for Synaptics touchpad driver of X server. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.7-3 (feisty), package size 24 kB, installed size 248 kB (Only available for alpha amd64 arm hppa i386 ia64 m68k mips mipsel powerpc sparc)
[08:02] <GomoX> DVS01: apt-get remove kde* gnome* xorg* && deborphan
[08:02] <defrysk> slickn1ck, clamav and fprot
[08:02] <DVS01> cool
[08:02] <ubotu> codename: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:02] <aaron_> I cannot even see a wireless connection when I open "Network Settings"
[08:02] <ubotu> netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit
[08:02] <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
[08:02] <DVS01> i have that installed on my fileserver but im not exactly sure why
[08:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hello - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:02] <GomoX> sorry, you want xserver* not xorg*
[08:02] <defrysk> !info fprot-installer
[08:03] <ubotu> Fezzler: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[08:03] <HiddenHax> Is there a such thing as limitations on graphic card memory a computer can take?
[08:03] <ubotu> aaron_: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[08:03] <ubotu> Package fprot-installer does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[08:03] <defrysk> slickn1ck, try apt-cache search virus on your terminal and look for yourself
[08:03] <GomoX> HiddenHax: mostly pocket depth
[08:03] <aaron_> Does anyone know why I can't see a wireless connection in "Network Settings"?
[08:03] <andymeows> Hi, can the fiesty fawn resize and existing windows install?
[08:03] <slickn1ck> defrysk : thanks. much appreciated
[08:04] <andymeows> safely that is?
[08:04] <Jordan_U> HiddenHax, A computer running a 32 bit OS can only use 4GIG of RAM
[08:04] <HiddenHax> npnp
[08:04] <HiddenHax> nono
[08:04] <GomoX> Jordan_U: graphic memory doesn't have to be mapped into the regular address space
[08:04] <HiddenHax> graphic card
[08:04] <HiddenHax> my system said 128 mb max
[08:04] <GomoX> andymeows: no one can
[08:04] <HiddenHax> I dunno what that means
[08:04] <slickn1ck> NX client is l33t :P
[08:04] <Jordan_U> HiddenHax, Sorry, missed the "graphics" part of your question :)
[08:04] <belfegor> yesterday i installed frostwire,it requires java 1.5.x,today frostwire is not working,it saiz that it works better with java 1.4.x?wtf?
[08:04] <TryingToInstallU> k, so ubuntu is installing...
[08:05] <GomoX> HiddenHax: likely that it takes graphics memory from the main memory (RAM) and refuses to take more than 128mb
[08:05] <tritium> andymeows: it can definitely do it, and most often it works
[08:05] <HiddenHax> I got 1.5 gb ram already
[08:05] <GomoX> Jordan_U: there are many tricks for bypassing the 4GB limitation too
[08:05] <Jordan_U> GomoX, I know
[08:05] <aaron_> Does anyone know how to get a Realtek 8185 chip set to work on Feisty Fawn?
[08:05] <HiddenHax> man my computer sucks then
[08:06] <v3n0m`> anyone have kworld VS-PVR TV 300U?
[08:06] <GomoX> aaron_: If someone does then Google should know about hi
[08:06] <GomoX> m
[08:06] <PurpZeY> !anyone
[08:06] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[08:06] <HiddenHax> need a new motherboard!
[08:06] <aaron_> Gomox: yeah, i've tried google, no one seems to have MY problem
[08:07] <HiddenHax> Asus
[08:07] <GomoX> aaron_: what is your problem?
[08:07] <HiddenHax> whats a physics card used for?
[08:09] <aaron_> GomoX: I can't see my wireless connection in Network Settings and I'm having a hard time finding a driver on Google
[08:10] <Tom47> aaron_:  there is a discussion here that may interest you if you have not seen it .... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2690706
[08:10] <GomoX> HiddenHax: to simulate physical behaviour of things
[08:11] <aaron_> Tom47: I did see that, but when I open Network Settings, I see no wireless connection, just wired and modem
[08:12] <Tom47> aaron_ ok just thought it might be worth trying the ndiswrapper approach as it seems the more complete solution and there is a specific feisty mention which is always encouraging
[08:12] <Moniker42> hey, i'm trying to mount an ISO image
[08:12] <Moniker42> sudo mount -o loop ISO-/home/sean/Torrents/Piloger Disc 2.iso /media/Pilger Disc 2
[08:13] <Moniker42> that gives me a bunch of usage info i don't understand about how to mount things =(
[08:13] <Tom47> aaron_: but yes even so you sould still see the wireless connection
[08:13] <usea> well, memtest86 gets about 3 seconds in before the computer restarts. so I guess the hardware is bad
[08:13] <Tom47> aaron_: what does ifconfig say about wireless?
[08:13] <zql> yes it is
[08:14] <zql> hell
[08:14] <GomoX> Moniker42:
[08:14] <aaron_> Tom47: um, it looks like nothing
[08:14] <GomoX> the command looks like "mount -o loop your-iso-file.iso your_mount_point/"
[08:14] <Rictoo> What is the IRC char limit?
[08:14] <Rictoo> (or freenode)
[08:14] <Moniker42> GomoX, so what's wrong with "sudo mount -o loop ISO-/home/sean/Torrents/Piloger Disc 2.iso /media/Pilger Disc 2"?
[08:14] <Tom47> hmmm
[08:15] <cbs> how do I mount a *.bin in linux? I have the SFV for it, is there somehting i need to do other than use mount>
[08:15] <Moniker42> it doesn't really tell you what's _wrong_ with the command...
[08:15] <aaron_> Tom47: my little blue wireless icon is lit, like on the laptop itself
[08:15] <GomoX> It does tell you
[08:15] <GomoX> What does the output say?
[08:15] <Bambie> heh, my wireless doesn't even works
[08:16] <Moniker42> GomoX, i'll pastebin it
[08:16] <GomoX> please do
[08:16] <Moniker42> GomoX, http://rafb.net/p/Bl4K2t68.html
[08:17] <GomoX> Moniker42: how is that not informative?
[08:17] <GomoX> That's the most comprehensive error message i've ever seen, it *tells you* how to use it
[08:17] <GomoX> The problem is you have to dissect the command you are using
[08:17] <GomoX> And find what is wrong
[08:17] <Moniker42> k
[08:17] <GomoX> sudo mount -o loop ISO-/home/sean/Torrents/Piloger Disc 2.iso /media/Pilger Disc 2
[08:17] <Tom47> !wireless > aaron_: have you looked though this?
[08:17] <GomoX> that's what you used
[08:18] <Sleepy_Coder> [23:17:27]  <GomoX> That's the most comprehensive error message i've ever seen, it *tells you* how to use it  <---Error messages that explain themselves?  WITCH WITCH WITCH!!! :p
[08:18] <GomoX> there are many problems
[08:18] <Moniker42> GomoX, i tried it without the ISO already
[08:18] <powerblue> #beryl
[08:18] <hydan> what's the status of zfs being ported?
[08:18] <GomoX> for starters there is an "ISO-" thing there which is misplaced
[08:18] <Moniker42> without "-iso" i mean
[08:18] <Bambie> can anyone help me setting up my wireless network please
[08:18] <GomoX> for continuers there is the spaces in the file names - you have to escape those
[08:18] <HiddenHax> does anyone know why my screen twitches when my system speeds up?
[08:18] <Moniker42> aaaah
[08:19] <Moniker42> i forgot about that...
[08:19] <GomoX> You can do it by hand or do what the nice guys do and use tab completion
[08:19] <GomoX> whihc means typing /home/sean/Torrents/Piloger<TAB>
[08:19] <GomoX> and letting the shell fill it in for you, perfectly escaped
[08:19] <Tom47> aaron_: esp the troubleshooting reference
[08:21] <Moniker42> GomoX, sean@sean-desktop:~$ sudo mount -o loop /home/sean/Torrents/Piloger\ Disc\ 2.iso /media/pilger
[08:21] <Moniker42> mount: mount point /media/pilger does not exist
[08:21] <GomoX> Moniker42: there's your problem right there
[08:22] <Moniker42> i need to create the mountpoint first?
[08:22] <GomoX> yes
[08:22] <codename> What's the best internet browser for Ubuntu.
[08:22] <GomoX> you are telling the filesystem you want to put whatever is inside the device (or in this case, the ISO image) in the folder you indicate (the mount point)
[08:22] <GomoX> codename: firefox
[08:22] <jasongaston> #device-mapper
[08:22] <Moniker42> GomoX, should i create a generic mountpoint like "isomount" and then use that as a mountpoint for all iso images i want to mount?
[08:22] <codename>  besides FireFox
[08:23] <GomoX> Moniker42: possibly
[08:23] <Moniker42> codename, opera or epiphany
[08:23] <codename> does SwiftFox work for ubuntu
[08:23] <GomoX> codename: none
[08:23] <Moniker42> codename, or you could always run internet explorer in wine :D
[08:23] <codename> thanks
[08:23] <GomoX> Anyway, the message tells you what is wrong: the mount point doesn't exist
[08:23] <GomoX> therefore you have to fix it
[08:23] <GomoX> and so on with every new problem that aires
[08:23] <GomoX> *arises
[08:24] <Moniker42> GomoX, problem solving for beginners, right ;) but how do i create a mountpoint?
[08:24] <GomoX> a mount point is a directory
[08:24] <GomoX> so you just create one
[08:24] <Moniker42> <-- terminal noob
[08:24] <wastedfluid> hey.. I'm trying to get frostwire to run, and it says I need JRE 1.5 or higher.  I researched, and found I need SUN java.  and when I go to install sun-java5-bin, it says I have no installation candidate
[08:24] <Moniker42> i need to learn how to do this in the terminal instead of gksu nautilus
[08:24] <GomoX> Moniker42: oh, I can tell, don't worry :)
[08:24] <GomoX> Moniker42: why?
[08:25] <Moniker42> GomoX, how do i create a diretory in the terminal? :)
[08:25] <sorush20> how dumb can the installer get for kubuntu or ubuntu.. it crashes and expects you to send in the crash report when you haven't even managed to get internet connection
[08:25] <codename> There's no version of epiphiany for Ubuntu...
[08:25] <GomoX> sorush20: it can be dumber, pick up at slackware cd and experience dumbness
[08:25] <Moniker42> codename, yes there is
[08:25] <GomoX> TRUE dumbness
[08:25] <codename> link?
[08:25] <Moniker42> but there's nothing wrong with firefox
[08:25] <codename> thanks
[08:25] <GomoX> Moniker42: mkdir
[08:25] <Shrimpy_> hello i was wondering how i get my built in webcam working on an HP dv1000 series computer
[08:25] <GomoX> Moniker42: the "man" command is your friend
[08:26] <GomoX> "man mkdir" will tell you how mkdir works
[08:26] <wastedfluid> hey.. I'm trying to get frostwire to run, and it says I need JRE 1.5 or higher.  I researched, and found I need SUN java.  and when I go to install sun-java5-bin, it says I have no installation candidate.. so any idea how to get SUN java so I can run Frostwire? >:|
[08:26] <GomoX> it works for pretty much all commands so use that
[08:26] <cbs> does anyone know how to mount a *.bin in ubuntu?
[08:27] <GomoX> cbs: extensions don't mean anything
[08:27] <GomoX> cbs: the sooner you let go of that windows preconception, the better
[08:27] <Moniker42> GomoX, one more silly question... how do i exit man mkdir?! ;)
[08:27] <darnell> can someone help me port video to my television... it shouldnt be this difficult
[08:27] <GomoX> this said a .bin is probably an image of something
[08:27] <MrUnleaded> can anyone tell me how to reset my xorg.conf file?
[08:27] <GomoX> Moniker42: "esc"?
[08:27] <darnell> the boot sequence shows, but nothing after that
[08:27] <Moniker42> doesn't work
[08:27] <Moniker42> neither does ctrl c
[08:27] <sorush20> is there a way that I could install with out the gui and just the command line ?
[08:27] <GomoX> hang on it's just natural
[08:27] <codename> how do i delete something
[08:27] <ALL4N> Moniker42: use q
[08:27] <codename> of my applications menu
[08:27] <GomoX> "q"
[08:27] <codename> theres no option
[08:27] <GomoX> I had to try it
[08:27] <GomoX> :)
[08:28] <Moniker42> GomoX, ALL4N thanks :)
[08:28] <oldude67_> wastedfluid: do like i did and check your repos and download it that way alot easier
[08:28] <GomoX> cbs: in order to mount an image file you use mount -o loop image.bin mountpoint/
[08:28] <Moniker42> aha! and it works! :)
[08:28] <Moniker42> GomoX, thanks for the walkthrough
[08:29] <MrUnleaded> can anyone tell me how to reset or autoconfigure my xorg.conf file?
[08:29] <codename> is there any version of SwiftFox for Ubuntu
[08:29] <codename> ???
[08:29] <GomoX> Moniker42: no big deal, if you really want to learn this stuff install plain debian
[08:29] <GomoX> MrUnleaded: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:29] <codename> any version for Swiftfox
[08:29] <GomoX> codename: that's the kind of question you ask google, not #ubuntu
[08:29] <MrUnleaded> GomoX, what if i don't know all the answers?
[08:30] <GomoX> MrUnleaded: it generally helps you out
[08:30] <GomoX> MrUnleaded: what don't you know?
[08:30] <MrUnleaded> GomoX, well i just figured if i can delete my xorg.conf and then i can get x running i should be able to copy the running config into the xorg file
[08:30] <bullgard4> When calling hal-device-manager my Gnome terminal prints 'PropertyModified, device=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/acpi_BAT0'. 'cd /; ls' does not list a directory '/org'. What stands 'device=/org/...' for?
[08:31] <GomoX> MrUnleaded: no you can't
[08:31] <sorush20> why can't I run the installation again on the live cd?
[08:31] <sorush20> I ran it once it crashed .. I can't run it again.
[08:31] <sorush20> any ideas?
[08:31] <GomoX> sorush20: why do you want just command line?
[08:32] <MrUnleaded> GomoX, it just asks like the memory and version and junk but its an embedded gfx card so I dont really know the specs
[08:32] <sorush20> GomoX: forget about that what about my new question
[08:32] <MrUnleaded> how does the livecd get its config?
[08:32] <darnell> can someone help me port video to my television... it shouldnt be this difficult
[08:32] <wizard> exit
[08:32] <_GOLD_> join #wrfaide
[08:32] <_GOLD_> oups
[08:32] <Shrimpy_> where do i go for webcam drivers and such?
[08:32] <GomoX> MrUnleaded: if you type man xorg there is an option for having xorg autoconfigure itself and print out a working xorg.conf file that you can then copy to /etc/X11
[08:33] <MrUnleaded> ok ill try that
[08:33] <wastedfluid> Hey guys.  I'm trying to insullt SUN JAVA 1.5.. and when I try to install the pacakge, it telsl me I have no installation candidate
[08:33] <sorush20> I can't seem to run anything in the live cd any idea why?
[08:33] <sorush20> hello..
[08:33] <GomoX> sorush20: chill out
[08:33] <sorush20> 1142 people and no one knows the answer
[08:34] <GomoX> sorush20: describe a problem
[08:34] <GomoX> sorush20: and wait
[08:34] <GomoX> "my live cd doesn't work" is not a valid question
[08:34] <GomoX> none of the 1141 persons that are not you, have a crystal ball
[08:34] <TakeOut{u}> i do, but its live cd doesn't work
[08:34] <DavidHKMrPowers> if I do not want to use Shell, how can I communicate with the kernel?
[08:34] <sorush20> simple I can't run any programs in the live cd
[08:35] <GomoX> http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html <- read that sorush20, it's the best piece of linux documentation ever written
[08:35] <GomoX> master that, and you can do anything!!
[08:35] <altori> Hello everyone! Would you please help me with some problem. I have Internet connection lost all the time, every 10-15 minutes. When browsers don't able to load any page, IM continues running, and wget continues to download files. So to browse the Internet I need to "poff -> pon" all the time. Is there a solution? Thanks!
[08:35] <GomoX> DavidHKMrPowers: what do you mean by "communicate with the kernel"?
[08:35] <sorush20> simple why can't I run any programs in the live cd?
[08:35] <|_ocke> new colbert report!!
[08:35] <GomoX> sorush20: read the article
[08:36] <sorush20> read it before
[08:36] <sorush20> don't want to argue about the article
[08:36] <Shrimpy_> !webcam | Shrimpy_
[08:37] <DavidHKMrPowers> GomoX how to control the system without a starting shell program?
[08:37] <GomoX> Then read it again until you grasp the idea. People in help channels don't want to ask you debugging questions as if you were a program that you have to get working. You should provide the information and hope that someone fills in the blanks for you.
[08:37] <HiddenHax> there is an issue with Ubuntus agp?
[08:37] <kitsuneofdoom> not exactly sure if it should be said in here, but I'm on Ubuntu 7.04, and I've been trying sha1deep, sha256deep, and md5deep, and it keeps stopping after one file
[08:37] <Bambie> what software is good for playin music?
[08:37] <GomoX> Bambie: amarok
[08:37] <GomoX> DavidHKMrPowers: ?
[08:37] <GomoX> What do you want to control?

[08:37] <Shrimpy_> where can i find webcam drivers for a HP webcam built in
[08:38] <GomoX> altori: don't spam, we don't know
[08:38] <GomoX> Shrimpy_: google
[08:38] <altori> GomoX: I'm sorry, I leave you alone then
[08:38] <GomoX> altori: try #network or #networking
[08:38] <GomoX> I can never remember what the right name is
[08:38] <darnell> what the fuck... i come in here and never get any answers what so ever, but these other questions get answered all the time
[08:38] <HiddenHax> darnell I know
[08:38] <altori> GomoX: Thanks!
[08:38] <Bambie> can network or networking can help me with setting up wireless?
[08:38] <GomoX> darnell: that because the linux penguin hates you
[08:39] <GomoX> Bambie: possibly
[08:39] <HiddenHax> darnell everyone here wants answers
[08:39] <GomoX> Bambie: but google is better
[08:39] <Madpilot> darnell, swearing and random ranting won't exactly help your case...
[08:39] <darnell> nothing helps the case..
[08:39] <GomoX> Bambie: #net channels are very low traffic
[08:39] <Bambie> tired of googling
[08:39] <darnell> swearing ornot
[08:39] <Bambie> lol
[08:39] <darnell>  or not
[08:39] <Shrimpy_> GomoX: sorry
[08:39] <GomoX> Bambie: who isnt?
[08:39] <GomoX> Shrimpy_: no problem
[08:39] <Bambie> so true
[08:39] <DavidHKMrPowers> GomoX i want to know how people controlled unix before the first shell was created. :)
[08:40] <sorush20> kdeinit could not launch konsole why is that?
[08:40] <GomoX> DavidHKMrPowers: aaah then take a computer organization class
[08:40] <Moniker42> DavidHKMrPowers, magic screwdrivers
[08:40] <Moniker42> like in Doctor Who
[08:40] <darnell> what is this channel for  exactly
[08:40] <GomoX> DavidHKMrPowers: i think unix always had a shell
[08:40] <GomoX> shells predate unix
[08:41] <Madpilot> darnell, tech support, mostly
[08:41] <GomoX> darnell: nice people that the linux penguin doesn't hate
[08:41] <bullgard4> When calling hal-device-manager my Gnome terminal prints 'PropertyModified, device=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/acpi_BAT0'. 'cd /; ls' does not list a directory '/org'. What stands 'device=/org/...' for?
[08:41] <Moniker42> DavidHKMrPowers, you know UNIX was created when "visual display units" were a luxury like a supercomputer is today
[08:41] <GomoX> bullgard4: it's a device address, sortf
[08:41] <Tom47> darnell i have to say i did not get the drift of your question and unless someone understands what you are exactly trying to do and what show when it fails its pretty difficult for anyone to answer
[08:41] <TakeOut{u}> before shells
[08:42] <TakeOut{u}> they used punchcards
[08:42] <GomoX> bullgard4: you can see those in the hardware information program that's in ubuntu
[08:42] <Moniker42> TakeOut{u}, that was before keyboards ;)
[08:42] <mikunic05> can you upgrade directly to ubuntu studio from ubuntu 6.1?
[08:42] <Moniker42> and VDUs (monitors)
[08:42] <darnell> yeah. well i asked a simple question that all the "techies" should know.... and many people in here feel like their questions are never answered....   Linux needs a whole lot of work.. i could pay microsoft 50 bucks and get the answer,
[08:42] <GomoX> darnell: by all means do so
[08:42] <starz> mm
[08:42] <TakeOut{u}> darnell, you could pay redhat or novell the same amount
[08:42] <Moniker42> less in fact
[08:42] <bullgard4> GomoX: What do mean with 'sortf'?
[08:42] <darnell> its rediculous that there isnt more documentation on this stuff..
[08:42] <GomoX> darnell: if you pay ME 50 bucks i'll gladly answer
[08:42] <Moniker42> darnell, what actually IS your question?
[08:43] <darnell> we cant even get a windows mobile device to work with linux
[08:43] <cbs> GomoX: using that syntax, term returns this: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
[08:43] <cbs>        missing codepage or other error
[08:43] <Moniker42> darnell, did you just say that?
[08:43] <darnell> yes i did
[08:43] <Moniker42> you can't get devices built specifically to work with windows?
[08:43] <Moniker42> *to work with linux
[08:43] <starz> other than copying the files and renaming by hand, and since yamipod does not work for me on my 5th gen 30gig vid ipod, anyone got any bright ideas on how to backup the files from ipod to linux? i figured i didnt need to keep my collection of several thousand tracks, and boy and i regretting it now =/
[08:43] <GomoX> bullgard4: I mean that I am not really sure about what I am saying but it is that anyway
[08:43] <DavidHKMrPowers> GomoX shell predated unix?
[08:43] <Madpilot> darnell, there is lots of Ubuntu documentation, and even more general Linux documentation. How about asking a specific question?
[08:43] <DavidHKMrPowers> Moniker42 ar yes, you're right :)
[08:43] <darnell> i did ask a specific question
[08:44] <GomoX> darnell: except no one knows what it is
[08:44] <darnell> ill paste it for you, ive asked it at least 20 times today
[08:44] <Toma-> darnell: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/paid
[08:44] <starz> also any way to change volume name of ipod for reals not just editing mtab ?
[08:44] <Moniker42> darnell, really? because you've just been arguing for the last ten minutes
[08:44] <GomoX> darnell: thanks!!!
[08:44] <Moniker42> GomoX, don't forget to give him your paypal number
[08:44] <GomoX> starz: no idea, try asking on the mailing list for gtkpod or something like that
[08:44] <darnell> i havent been here ten minutes
[08:44] <darnell> only 5
[08:45] <GomoX> darnell: oh so you jump into a channel and 5 minutes later you expect people to answer something you asked earlier this morning?
[08:45] <starz> GomoX, yeah that only copy's the file over, a simple cp -R could do that. still has the crazy 4 letter names.
[08:45] <Toma-> darnell: what are you using to get the screen to your TV?
[08:45] <Moniker42> darnell, well you can't expect to get an answer that quickly
[08:45] <darnell> and my question was simply how to use my s-video and tv instead of my monitor
[08:45] <Moniker42> darnell, what type of card?
[08:45] <bullgard4> GomoX: "the hardware information program that's in ubuntu" you are referring to is hal-device-manager?
[08:45] <darnell> s-video cord
[08:45] <Moniker42> nvidia or ati?
[08:45] <darnell> nvidia fx 5200
[08:45] <GomoX> starz: you want to rename the files using info from the ID3 tags on the mp3 files?
[08:45] <Toma-> darnell: ahh right. are you using nvidia?
[08:45] <Moniker42> darnell, use the nvidia settings manager
[08:45] <darnell> yes
[08:45] <GomoX> bullgard4: I hope i am not because then that wouldn't be really helpful
[08:45] <puff`> Is there anything tricky to using a crossover cable?
[08:45] <GomoX> let me check
[08:46] <Moniker42> darnell, just go to a terminal and type "nvidia-settings"
[08:46] <Toma-> darnell: easy. run 'sudo nvidia-settings' and add another display
[08:46] <Moniker42> it's in there
[08:46] <Moniker42> yup
[08:46] <GomoX> puff: you have to label it as such
[08:46] <Moniker42> do you need sudo?
[08:46] <Toma-> It helps for certain things
[08:46] <GomoX> puff: so that you don't go nuts some other time when you forget it's a crossover
[08:46] <Toma-> Like clocking "Save to X config files"
[08:46] <Toma-> *clicking
[08:47] <bullgard4> GomoX: So I am a bit lost and will try to put my question somewhat later again here.
[08:47] <GomoX> bullgard4: ok
[08:47] <GomoX> bullgard4: mailiings lists are where the real information is
[08:47] <puff`> GomoX: It was given to me;  there's an "x" stamped in the plastic of the jack.
[08:47] <puff`> GomoX: I hope that means it's a crossover cable :-).
[08:47] <GomoX> puff: great then
[08:47] <GomoX> you can check from the colors
[08:47] <bullgard4> GomoX: Yes, and I am subscribing to 6 ones of them.
[08:47] <puff`> GomoX: Yeah?
[08:48] <GomoX> puff: yes, google for crossover cable pinout or something
[08:48] <darnell> dude, i have the nvidia settings manager.. and nowhere does it ask you to add another device
[08:48] <puff`> Damn, my internal temp is up to 82 degrees, wtf?
[08:48] <Ax3> HELP, i can't update for the life of me, fresh install too :S
[08:48] <Toma-> darnell: X server Display Configuration? are you using feisty?
[08:48] <darnell> yes, im using feisty
[08:48] <Ax3> all the mirrors are completely unresponsive to a 'sudo apt-get update'
[08:49] <GomoX> anyway, i'm out
[08:49] <GomoX> see you around guys
[08:49] <Toma-> darnell: 2nd item in the list on the right?
[08:49] <puff`> GomoX: Thanks.
[08:49] <Toma-> errr left
[08:49] <Ax3> are the repos down?
[08:49] <oldude67_> i just did an update and its working for me
[08:50] <Ax3> Could not connect to us.archive.ubuntu.com:80 (91.189.89.8), connection timed out [IP: 91.189.89.8 80] 
[08:50] <Toma-> Ax3: try a mirror
[08:51] <darnell> dude there is nothing on the "right" hand side with the nvida, settings manager
[08:51] <oldude67_> Ax3: mines installing now..
[08:51] <darnell> there is only the left side
[08:51] <Toma-> Yeh my bad, i mean the left
[08:51] <Ax3> oh really?
[08:51] <darnell> x server color correction
[08:51] <Ax3> i'll try again

[08:51] <darnell> open/glx info
[08:51] <Toma-> darnell: ok, what drivers are you using?
[08:51] <darnell> antialiasing settings
[08:52] <darnell> display device
[08:52] <darnell> and nvidia settings config
[08:52] <darnell> im using the one feisty told me too
[08:52] <darnell> the nvidia/gxl
[08:52] <Toma-> darnell: ok.
[08:52] <Toma-> whats in display device?
[08:53] <martinz> hi, I want to permanently disable my pcspkr; I don't want the module "pcspkr" to be loaded on startup under dapper, putting DISABLED_MODULES="pcspkr" in /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common did not do the job; any suggestions?
[08:53] <Jack3_> how do i know what kernel i am using?
[08:53] <Ax3> a fresh installation of feisty really should include gftp and xchat
[08:53] <Toma-> martinz: put "blacklist pcspkr" in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[08:53] <martinz> Thanks, Toma
[08:54] <Toma-> Jack3_: uname -a
[08:54] <Toma-> Jack3_: id advise against tinkering :D
[08:55] <starz> argh
[08:55] <starz> yes i did =/
[08:55] <Ax3> anyone want to suggest a good feisty + beryl write up? I have an nvidia 6100 (onboard)
[08:55] <puff`> Hm, can eth0 and eth1 coexist?
[08:55] <Toma-> Ax3: here "sudo apt-get install beryl beryl-manager"
[08:55] <Toma-> :)
[08:55] <dedi> have an agp problem -> dmesg shows: [fglrx]  Internal AGP is not supported in 2.6 kernel (x64,nforce3). anyone have a clue?

[08:56] <Ax3> Toma-: lol..... was expecting it to be more intricate lol
[08:56] <Jack3_> toma-, i was thinking of upgrading my kernel

[08:56] <crabgrass> "config.status: error: cannot find input file: po/Makefile.in.in"   any ideas on what might be causing this?

[08:56] <HiddenHax> whens the next update of ubuntus nvidia drivers?
[08:56] <sahil> how can put a picture in the GRUB area where i choose if i want to use Windows or Linux ??
[08:57] <crdlb> HiddenHax: gutsy
[08:57] <Lapinux> thankyou crdlb
[08:57] <HiddenHax> are you serious
[08:57] <darnell> ok?
[08:57] <Toma-> Jack3_: this was written in the edgy ubuntu times, things might have changed with feisty but by all means, give it a shot!
[08:57] <darnell> so?
[08:57] <crdlb> they would never push a video driver update in the middle of a release
[08:57] <HiddenHax> why not?
[08:57] <Jack3_> toma-, im using fesity, do you think its worth it to upgrade?
[08:58] <crdlb> in case it breaks something
[08:58] <crdlb> which nvidia drivers often do
[08:58] <HiddenHax> how to force install it?
[08:58] <Toma-> Jack3_: no not really. its a bit of fun to do it tho. knowing you compiled a kernel
[08:58] <crdlb> HiddenHax: you mean the beta driver?
[08:58] <crabgrass> anyone?
[08:58] <Lapinux> no way, only one sata controller listed in the hcl.....
[08:58] <Toma-> darnell: Youre using the nvidia driver right? not just running nv?
[08:59] <starz> argh
[08:59] <frinux> hi
[08:59] <starz> well i would indeed be willing to change the filenames to the titles in the id3 tags
[09:00] <frinux> I made a mistake, I copied all the configuration files of an ubuntu instalklation on another which is a little different
[09:00] <wizard> crimsun: are you available?
[09:00] <Toma-> darnell: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174  <--- best advice. I used this guide aswell as the nvidia settings tool.
[09:00] <mojo> Hi.  I have a new 500GB drive I am wanting to format, and am wondering if reiserfs or reiser4 would be a better fs than ext3... I will use it as my /home and have lots of large media including DVD images, bittorrents, music, etc.  Any advice?
[09:00] <frinux> is it possible to repair that without reinstalkling ?
[09:01] <joew> hi all, anyone have a link to how to setup my linksys wpc11 wireless card with kubuntu?
[09:01] <RAOF> mojo: I quite like reiserfs.  Don't use reiser4, since there's no support for it in the stock Ubuntu kernel.  However, ext3 is just fine.
[09:01] <crabgrass> mojo: reiser is better for smaller files, if i understand correctly
[09:01] <DVS01> how do i update from dapper to feisty?
[09:02] <RAOF> DVS01: Through Edgy.
[09:02] <RAOF> !upgrade > DVS01 <--- Check the PM from ubotu
[09:02] <mojo> i thought reiser was better for large files, esp. if i create/delete them a lot (some will be moved to other machines after short life)
[09:02] <DVS01> thanks
[09:02] <YNWA> Hi - How do I edit the Applications Menu -i.e. take stuff off
[09:02] <starz> dv5237, either get install cd or upgrade to edgy then feisty
[09:02] <dedi> have an agp problem -> dmesg shows: [fglrx]  Internal AGP is not supported in 2.6 kernel (x64,nforce3). anyone have a clue?
[09:02] <starz> YNWA, right click applications and select edit menu
[09:02] <mojo> crabgrass: but i have been running ext3 on my 250 w/o problems/complaints
[09:02] <RAOF> mojo: Really, they're all just filesystems.  Don't worry too much.
[09:03] <mojo> RAOF: kk
[09:03] <mojo> RAOF: just thought i'd ask :)
[09:03] <YNWA> starz: thanks :D
[09:03] <mdious> YNWA:  you can sometimes go to Applications, Accessories, Alacarte menu editor...not sure if it is the same thing though...
[09:03] <crabgrass> mojo: same here... running ext3 on a 270gb partition of a 300gb drive, with reiser for os files and some swap... no complaints
[09:03] <RAOF> mojo: ext3 is good because it's super ultra tested.  :)
[09:04] <mojo> RAOF: that is a good point.  i was not sure on r4 but reiserfs i thought has been around
[09:04] <mdious> YNWA:  forget what I said it is the same thing :P
[09:04] <wizard> crimsun: i need to borrow you when u ahve a chance
[09:04] <starz> mdious, it is
[09:04] <starz> and he/she/it left
[09:04] <RAOF> mojo: Oh, I've used reiserfs.  It's good.  It's stable (now).
[09:04] <starz> reiser is great
[09:05] <starz> but perhaps he is referring to reiserfs4 ?
[09:05] <mojo> RAOF: maybe i should rtf internet and see what the pros/cons are
[09:05] <mojo> :)
[09:05] <GirlRiver> can anyone please point me in the direction of a xchat session for Quasar ?
[09:06] <mdious> I've always used reiserf...not just trying out ext3...too n00b to know the differences though hehe...it all seems good to me :P
[09:06] <wizard> crimsun: so when u get a chance if u can let me know sir :-)
[09:07] <tunganet> How do i set my color depth to 16bit?
[09:07] <brylie> GirlRiver, quasar.proxemic.net ?
[09:07] <rausb0> tunganet: change the DefaultDepth value in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:08] <tunganet> rausb0: so right now its at 24, if i want 16bit, i just put in 16?
[09:08] <crabgrass> "config.status: error: cannot find input file: po/Makefile.in.in"   any ideas on what might be causing this?
[09:09] <rausb0> tunganet: yes. and make sure you have the same modes listed in the SubSection "Display" for Depth 16
[09:09] <mdious> tunganet:  there is also a DefaultDepth value...
[09:09] <brylie> tunganet, change the value, save, then hit ctrl-shift-backspace
[09:09] <brylie> *values
[09:09] <tunganet> ok, thanks guys
[09:10] <graveson> any tips, hints and recommmendations on the best to backup my customised desktop and home filesystem.
[09:10] <ircat79> hey guys, i'm back in IRC after a 5 year absence.  i got ubuntu running asterisk, loving it!
[09:11] <Ax3> anytime I try to enable 'beryl' or 'beryl-manager' from tty, my screen goes entirely white and i have to restart X, suggestions?
[09:11] <mdious> brylie:  what does ctrl+shift+backspace do?
[09:11] <mdious> ircat79:  sounds good :)
[09:11] <rausb0> mdious: ctrl-alt-backspace terminates the X server
[09:11] <crdlb> Ax3: what video card?
[09:11] <brylie> graveson, 'sudo apt-get install backuppc'
[09:12] <mdious> rausb0:  thanks...does it restart it or...is that the end of it lol?
[09:12] <Ax3> crdlb, nvidia 6100
[09:12] <puff`> Anybody have thoughts on my system temperature?  It was typically 56 degrees... then I upgraded dapper->edgy->feisty and now it's 81 degrees.
[09:12] <crdlb> Ax3: you don't have your nvidia drivers installed
[09:12] <puff`> ibm thinkpad t43p
[09:12] <HiddenHax> what wrong with Ubuntu drivers
[09:12] <crdlb> or they're not working
[09:12] <brylie> it should take you to the login screen mdious
[09:12] <mdious> rausb0:  is that an ubuntu thing...or linux in general.   Sorry for my stupid question
[09:12] <Ax3> I think I do, because I can display the proper resolution
[09:12] <rausb0> mdious: the keypress itself only terminates it. but if you have gdm running (most likely), it will restart it afterwards.
[09:12] <Ax3> 1440x900
[09:13] <mdious> brylie:  thanks, sorry for my silly questions
[09:13] <crdlb> Ax3: glxinfo|grep direct
[09:13] <mdious> rausb0:  thanks I do have gdm running
[09:13] <Ax3> axe@sapphire:~$ glxinfo | grep direct
[09:13] <Ax3> direct rendering: No
[09:13] <Ax3> OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
[09:13] <crdlb> Ax3: that has to say yes
[09:13] <Ax3> ok how do I make it change it's mind :D
[09:13] <crdlb> Ax3: are you on ubuntu feisty?
[09:14] <Ax3> crdlb, indeed
[09:14] <crdlb> Ax3: system>administration>restricted manager
[09:14] <kraut> what's interesting on this picture? http://www.ubuntu.com/themes/ubuntu07/images/masthead-home-feisty.jpg
[09:14] <Ax3> 'Restricted Drivers Manager' ?
[09:14] <crdlb> yep
[09:14] <brylie> dell
[09:15] <crdlb> kraut: #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:15] <Ax3> ok 'nvidia accelerated graphics driver' is listed and it's NOT enabled
[09:15] <Ax3> im assuming i should enable it heh
[09:15] <mdious> was it this thursday the dell machines were going to come pre-installed with ubuntu?
[09:15] <crdlb> Ax3: yep :)
[09:15] <brylie> only on thursday?
[09:15] <kraut> crdlb: i asked hundreds of times in this channel an ontopic question and never got any answer and you want me to join that channel?!
[09:15] <Ax3> downloading nvidia-glx now....
[09:16] <HiddenHax> good
[09:16] <HiddenHax> corrupted drivers
[09:16] <Ax3> requires restart, i'll brb crdlb , thx :)
[09:16] <HiddenHax> hopefully ur card works well
[09:16] <Brade1> bye
[09:16] <Brade1> then
[09:16] <MrUnleaded> i installed the nvidia beta driver and now X doesnt work. It says it cant load libglx. What to do?
[09:17] <mdious> brylie:  i meant was the whole thing starting this thursday...not just on a thursday....
[09:17] <crdlb> MrUnleaded: uninstall it
[09:17] <Moniker42> MrUnleaded, i would run around the room and scream a little
[09:17] <MrUnleaded> crdlb, how?
[09:17] <MrUnleaded> Moniker42, I did that already haha
[09:17] <crdlb> MrUnleaded: run the installer with the --uninstall switch
[09:17] <MrUnleaded> crdlb, ok
[09:18] <belfegor> what is the command to uninstall programs?
[09:18] <crdlb> belfegor: sudo apt-get remove package
[09:18] <HiddenHax> sudo aptitude remove
[09:18] <Ax3> crdlb, ok restarted now what? :)
[09:18] <belfegor> thanks
[09:18] <MrC_> hello fellas
[09:18] <levon> i found someone had connected to my wireless network without authority i have there mac addy how can i find the ip address from this
[09:18] <crdlb> Ax3: that's it
[09:18] <brylie> MrUnleaded, 'sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf'
[09:18] <Ax3> so type 'beryl' i presume?
[09:18] <crdlb> Ax3: probably should test it first with: glxinfo|grep direct
[09:18] <mdious> can you also dpkg -r or is that not...the right way?
[09:19] <crdlb> and no, use beryl-manager
[09:19] <MrUnleaded> brylie, that didnt work
[09:19] <Ax3> axe@sapphire:~$ glxinfo | grep direct
[09:19] <Ax3> direct rendering: Yes
[09:19] <Ax3> :)
[09:19] <crdlb> run  beryl-manager
[09:19] <MrC_> Does anyone knows anything about Flight Gear(a Flight Simulator for Linux)?
[09:19] <Ax3> roger
[09:19] <gordonjcp> yes
[09:19] <mdious> levon:  if they were on your wireless network...there IP will be a local one from you...so it won't help you much.
[09:19] <GirlRiver> brylie, thanks for the channel, that did not work, any other suggestions ?
[09:19] <brylie> MrUnleaded, didn't do anything or had an errer?
[09:19] <mdious> MrC_:  When i was in school i started flying...I found Flight Gear to be the most realistic handling wise...to anything else out there...i loved it
[09:19] <levon> what about their mac address
[09:19] <levon> 00:13:02:0a:c6:2a
[09:19] <belfegor>  warning: while removing frostwire, directory `/usr/lib/frostwire' not empty so not removed.
[09:20] <Ax3> ok well some windows are behaving a bit odd, but at least I can see this time lol
[09:20] <belfegor> what should i do?
[09:20] <Ax3> :S
[09:20] <GirlRiver> brylie, thanks for the channel, I think I should have asked for a quasar IRC channel
[09:20] <mdious> levon:  the first half (3 bytes/24 bits) are the OUI...so you could look up who made it then...ask that company...well you could eventually find out who brought the machine I guess :P
[09:20] <brylie> GirlRiver, I just googled 'quasar irc'
[09:20] <MrUnleaded> brylie, i did it earlier and it had an error i think the cant load GLX
[09:20] <MrUnleaded> going to try to uninstall the beta driver
[09:21] <GirlRiver> brylie: ok .. thanks ... that's what I did too and have had no joy.
[09:21] <brylie> GirlRiver, what is the quasar you are trying to find an IRC channel for?
[09:21] <levon> oh i have their name and im figureing its the people across from me :) host name= vixyThao
[09:21] <mike01> how do i make something modprobe on boot?

[09:22] <mike01> i want to modprobe cx88-dvb on boot
[09:22] <mike01> or is there another way to do that
[09:22] <rausb0> mike01: put it in /etc/modules

[09:25] <crdlb> then why do you need them?
[09:25] <Jim7J1AJH> Is there a way I can package my python application with python-central or python-support and still have it installable on a Dapper system?  Or do I have to stick with the dummy package and underlying binaries scheme?
[09:25] <Ax3> is there a way to turn off the wobbly window effect? my eyes don't enjoy it heh
[09:25] <ashz> if i install Kile for latex editing, do i still need to install tetex or texlive?
[09:25] <crdlb> Ax3: yes
[09:26] <HiddenHax> why?!
[09:26] <Frogzoo> !vpn > Rogvold
[09:26] <Rogvold> !vpn

[09:26] <crdlb> brylie: that's compiz, not beryl
[09:26] <tunganet> Hi, i changed my DefaultDepth value from 24 to 16 (hoping to achieve: - Windows color depth must be "16 bit" mode (65535 differents colors)).  But it is not working , am i missing anything?
[09:26] <mrynit> brylie, thx for the link
[09:26] <Frogzoo> !ping
[09:26] <brylie> np mrynit
[09:26] <Ax3> crdlb, gotcha
[09:26] <crdlb> tunganet: you changed it for a wine app?
[09:27] <ashz> rausb0: so in another word, kile is an IDE?
[09:27] <brylie> which is better crdlb?
[09:27] <Frogzoo> Rogvold: hmm.. bot's out to lunch
[09:27] <tunganet> crdlb: yes
[09:27] <rausb0> ashz: yes
[09:27] <ashz> rausb0: seems it's better to install kile instead of tetex+texmaker
[09:27] <crdlb> brylie: I'm currently using the merged project :)
[09:27] <Rogvold> Frogzoo: Yes (((
[09:27] <gordboy> Frogzoo: netsplittery abounds
[09:27] <crdlb> they both have their advantages
[09:27] <idler_> hi
[09:28] <brylie> I just have the one that shipped with 7.04
[09:28] <tunganet> crdlb: is changing the defaultdepth from xorg.conf the wrong way to do it for a wine app?
[09:28] <rausb0> ashz: well i don't know much about kile or texmaker. i just use latex on the command line and vi (elvis) for editing.
[09:28] <idler_> can anyone help me. I'm trying to install the adaptec StorMan.rpm on feisty
[09:28] <crdlb> tunganet: I just think that's the app being stupid
[09:28] <crdlb> I doubt it can detect the real color depth anyway
[09:28] <SunmanXI1> hello?
[09:28] <FreedomFighter> Somebody said hello is there a security forum of ubuntu, SunmanXI1
[09:28] <idler_> and it complains: dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: unable to find dependency information for shared library libstdc++ (soname 5, path libstdc++.so.5, dependency field Depends)
[09:28] <tunganet> crdlb: my app cannot run without it being 16bit, any help?
[09:29] <crdlb> tunganet: have you looked on the wine appdb?
[09:29] <brylie> idler_,  there is a conversion tool called alien
[09:29] <Ax3> crdlb, thank you for your assistance, working great now :)
[09:29] <idler_> yes, that was the output of alien, brylie
[09:29] <tunganet> crdlb: hmm i'll go check..

[09:31] <crdlb> MrUnleaded: were you using nvidia-glx or nvidia-glx-new?
[09:31] <rausb0> bullgard4: search the first one with /  then press n
[09:31] <MrUnleaded> crdlb, I believe nvidia-glx

[09:32] <SunmanXI1> its not in english
[09:32] <crdlb> MrUnleaded: followed by: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx linux-generic
[09:32] <rausb0> bullgard4: you can press h to have a summary of all keys displayed

[09:35] <zeroflag> refresh my memory... what was the "good" (CLI) tool to create a new user?
[09:35] <mojo> fwiw i decided to stick with ext3... 1) familiarity 2) Explore2FS (i have friends and family who still run windows and from time to time it's easier to drop a drive from one box into the other to move a lot of media files)
[09:35] <crdlb> MrUnleaded: the second command?
[09:35] <MrUnleaded> yea
[09:35] <YNWA> does anyone know of an Apple email application that can 'reject' Junk mail? (i.e. you can choose to not accept the email and it will bounce back to the sender)
[09:35] <crdlb> MrUnleaded: did it uninstall nvidia-glx?
[09:35] <YNWA> and if so, is there a Linux equivalent?
[09:35] <crdlb> or did it say it wasn't installed?
[09:35] <rausb0> zeroflag: adduser? (is there a "bad" tool for this?)
[09:35] <MrUnleaded> it uninstalld
[09:36] <zeroflag> rausb0: the one that doesn't create a home-folder and stuff.
[09:36] <rausb0> zeroflag: ah okay. i think adduser does this and useradd does not.
[09:36] <GirlRiver> brylie, sorry .. it is an open source accounting package for sm businesses
[09:36] <MrUnleaded> crdlb, once this is done you think i should reboot? or just restart gdm
[09:36] <crdlb> MrUnleaded: definitely reboo
[09:36] <crdlb> reboot*
[09:37] <MrUnleaded> crdlb, kk
[09:37] <zeroflag> ah, I remember.
[09:37] <YNWA> no?
[09:37] <zeroflag> useradd is the bad one, adduser is the good one. ~~
[09:37] <zeroflag> thanks anyway.
[09:37] <MrUnleaded> crdlb, ok here goes
[09:37] <brylie> idler_, did you check synaptic to see if it is installed? I show several packages when I searched Synaptic with 'libstdc++' some of which are Canonical supported.

[09:39] <krizz> hello. anyone with evolution problems (junk detection specifically) in here ?
[09:39] <springlarry> what problem?
[09:39] <rausb0> zeroflag: and it's incomplete. when just editing /etc/passwd to add a new user, /etc/shadow must be changed accordingly.
[09:40] <SunmanXI1> the question is, when firefox wants me to use a certain program to open the stream i want to set it so that it plays with another one - i dont know how to do that in ubuntu
[09:40] <krizz> junk detection with bogofilter
[09:40] <zeroflag> *thiks* how did I add a user to a group again?
[09:40] <zeroflag> been too long. :/
[09:40] <zeroflag> too much windows. :[
[09:40] <brylie> GirlRiver, do you need quasar for POS?
[09:40] <krizz> i doesn't detect junk :(
[09:40] <rausb0> zeroflag: usermod -G ...
[09:41] <SunmanXI1> no one...?
[09:41] <zeroflag> is it possible that my ubuntu 6.10 is lacking sudo?!
[09:42] <rausb0> zeroflag: no
[09:42] <serengeti> hi, I used to be able to switch to the text console using Ctrl+alt+F1 but this shortcut doesn't seem to work in feisty...
[09:42] <crdlb> serengeti: nvidia?
[09:42] <rausb0> zeroflag: if sudo is really missing, there is something broken
[09:42] <krizz> SunmanXI1: u r talking about plugins in firefox?
[09:43] <bambie> what plugin do i need to play wmv file?

[09:43] <zeroflag> geez, it really was missing. ~~
[09:43] <serengeti> and no compiz
[09:43] <zeroflag> how can I find out what distribution I'm using?
[09:43] <SunmanXI1> krizz: no. its a .cgi but it says its MP3(streamed) type. i think it can play in XMMS... but i cant get firefox to make it play in XMMS
[09:44] <rausb0> zeroflag: cat /etc/issue should give you the ubuntu version
[09:44] <ebaad_> it works on the streamtuner but no system sounds play
[09:44] <SunmanXI1> krizz: never mind
[09:44] <crdlb> !version

[09:44] <serengeti> thanks brylie
[09:44] <rausb0> zeroflag: 6.06 should have sudo too
[09:44] <zeroflag> is the upgrade to 7.04 worth it?
[09:45] <MrUnleaded> crdlb, Yeay it worked thank you for your help :)

[09:45] <rausb0> zeroflag: are you sure sudo is missing or is it just a error message from sudo saying the user is not in /etc/suoders?
[09:45] <idler_> brylie: ah, you say it's not missing libstdc++ in some rpm but the .deb. i'll check
[09:46] <MrC_> Does anyone in here uses Ubuntustudio?
[09:46] <sa1> hello
[09:46] <idler_> brylie: i've got /usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.5
[09:47] <sa1> how can i dowload all my website with a ftp connection?
[09:48] <yobrien> sa1: wget supports ftp
[09:48] <bambie> does anyone have answer to my question?
[09:48] <bambie> :/
[09:48] <zeroflag> rausb0: it wasn't installed. I ran apt-get install sudo and it installed.
[09:49] <brylie> idler_, that is the correct libstdc++ version right?
[09:49] <rausb0> zeroflag: very strange. i thought it was one of the essential packages in ubuntu. how did you install your system?
[09:49] <zeroflag> I didn't.
[09:49] <bambie> hey guys, i've totem movie player on ubuntu and its not playing wmv file? what plugins do i need to install?
[09:49] <zeroflag> was setup by my host.
[09:49] <gordboy> bambie: i just bet medibuntu knows
[09:49] <zeroflag> it's a virtual root server.
[09:49] <rausb0> zeroflag: then they modified the default install
[09:49] <idler_> brylie: I don't know which version the StorMan requires
[09:50] <brylie> bambie you need the 'ugly' gstreamer plugins
[09:50] <bambie> medibuntu?
[09:50] <bambie> brylie how can i get that?
[09:50] <zeroflag> how do I exit a screen?
[09:50] <yobrien> zeroflag: who is the host? i am looking for hosting
[09:50] <brylie> bambie, have you used Synaptic before?
[09:50] <noiesmo> What format do I need to use to be able to save an image with gimp and retain transperancy? little offtopic I know but I'm on ubuntu
[09:50] <bambie> brylie no
[09:51] <brylie> noiesmo, png or tiff
[09:51] <zeroflag> yobrien: it's a german host. it's http://www.korypet.de/
[09:51] <hartono> irc://irc.freenode.net/adempiere
[09:51] <yobrien> zeroflag: ok ...
[09:51] <brylie> bambie, click System >> Administration >> Synaptyc Package Manager
[09:52] <noiesmo> brylie, cheers will try it
[09:52] <brylie> well there is one step after that bambie
[09:52] <bambie> ok
[09:52] <bambie> now?
[09:52] <defrysk> bamby older type wmv  gstreamer ffmpeg , newer wmv type needs the gstreamer ugly package
[09:52] <brylie> click 'search'
[09:52] <bambie> k, and then
[09:53] <brylie> and search for 'wmv' or 'ugly' or 'gstreamer ugly'
[09:53] <bambie> i searched for wmv it says no package selected
[09:53] <bambie> is*
[09:53] <frying_fish> could try playing it with vlc
[09:54] <frying_fish> being that vlc can now handle pretty much all (including wmv9) because ffmpeg can
[09:54] <diablos_raven> whats the syntax for ntfs install
[09:54] <diablos_raven> for feisty
[09:54] <defrysk> bamby sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
[09:54] <brylie> yea search for 'vlc' bambie
[09:54] <serengeti> what a mess... somebody sent my dad a couple of huge jpeg attachments that cause thunderbird to allocate silly amounts of memory and bring the whole system to halt... we couldn't do anything but wait until the memory ran off and thunderbird was killed by the system
[09:54] <bambie> i search for gstreamer and it poped up a few things
[09:54] <frying_fish> diablos_raven, ntfs install? you want to install to ntfs?
[09:54] <defrysk> bamby sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
[09:54] <brylie> do you know how to open a terminal bambie?
[09:54] <defrysk> bambie, that is sorry
[09:55] <bambie> yes i do
[09:55] <brylie> cool
[09:55] <defrysk> bambie,  sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
[09:55] <defrysk> that should fix it
[09:55] <serengeti> i couldn't even kill it myself from the text console because login would timeout :] 
[09:55] <bambie> ok thanks
[09:55] <mike01> is there a way i could make the command /user/bin/firefox and firefox-bin run the command dchroot -d firefox (for my 32bit firefox)
[09:55] <CheshireViking> bambie, another option is to use seveas's repositories and install the gnome-multimedia app's, that'd install a number of different app's for playing multimeda (video & audio)
[09:55] <diablos_raven> frying_fish, i want to install ntfs so feisty will recognize my ntfs harddrives yes
[09:56] <frying_fish> mike01, yes, edit the firefox launch script to have that command in it
[09:56] <bullgard4> When calling hal-device-manager my Gnome terminal prints 'PropertyModified, device=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/acpi_BAT0'. 'cd /; ls' does not list a directory '/org'. What stands 'device=/org/...' for?
[09:56] <thedonvaughn> mike01, you can edit your icons to execute that line.
[09:56] <defrysk> bambie, CheshireViking has a good suggestion there
[09:56] <frying_fish> diablos_raven, oh right, well there should be ntfs support in the kernel to start with (read only though)
[09:56] <CheshireViking> !seveas | bambie
[09:56] <ubotu> bambie: Seveas has a popular 3rd party repository for several packages. More info (and mirrors) on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[09:56] <diablos_raven> frying_fish, i want to be able to write as well
[09:56] <rausb0> zeroflag: you exiting the "screen" terminal emulation?
[09:57] <CheshireViking> !ntfs-3g | diablos_raven
[09:57] <brylie> idler_, is StorMan 'self storage software'?
[09:57] <frying_fish> diablos_raven, writing to ntfs in linux is not really a good plan, can cause bad things
[09:57] <graveson> i have decided to use rsync as my preferred backup tool, if i want to backup my root filesystem is /var , /usr and /etc sufficient .I am especially concerned about my grub configuration
[09:58] <diablos_raven> frying_fish feisty is supposed to be able to do it without issues
[09:58] <bambie>  didn't work
[09:58] <bambie> i dont think if i can paste on main?
[09:58] <bambie> can i?
[09:58] <frying_fish> well try the fuse-3g driver thing
[09:58] <frying_fish> look in apt for it
[09:58] <frying_fish> bambie, no, use !pastebin
[09:59] <frying_fish> !pastebin
[09:59] <frying_fish> !paste
[09:59] <defrysk> Pastes to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[09:59] <frying_fish> humn, I forget what the command to get ubotu to tel that
[09:59] <rausb0> frying_fish: !paste was correct, but ubotu seems to lag
[10:00] <bambie> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22268/
[10:00] <bambie> when i wrote that thing what def told me to, thats what i got in reply
[10:00] <frying_fish> bambie, close synaptic first
[10:00] <diablos_raven> frying_fish, nm i found it
[10:00] <diablos_raven> peace
[10:00] <thedonvaughn> bambie, make sure you are running it using "sudo"
[10:01] <brylie> bambie Synaptic is the other process
[10:01] <defrysk> bambie, gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mpegdemux might be the plugin you are looking for
[10:01] <springlarry> how to use IRC IN GAIM
[10:01] <frying_fish> thedonvaughn, he just copied the command, but I think he still had synaptic open
[10:01] <thedonvaughn> springlarry, add your IRC nickname and server when you add accounts in Gaim.
[10:01] <thedonvaughn> frying_fish, ah i see
[10:01] <springlarry> thedonvaughn,Thanks
[10:02] <bambie> i'm running sudo
[10:02] <xw> hello
[10:03] <brylie> hi
[10:03] <graveson> i have decided to use rsync as my preferred backup tool, if i want to backup my root filesystem is /var , /usr and /etc sufficient .I am especially concerned about my grub configuration
[10:04] <brylie> what is the question graveson?
[10:04] <bambie> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22269/
[10:04] <CheshireViking> graveson, grub configuration is stored in /boot
[10:04] <frying_fish> bambie, you will need to add the universe repository
[10:04] <frying_fish> and multiverse
[10:05] <bambie> how can i do that
[10:05] <brylie> go back to synaptic
[10:05] <frying_fish> either back in synaptic, or manually edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:05] <brylie> click Settings > Repositories
[10:05] <bambie> k, i'm back in synaptic
[10:05] <frying_fish> right, I'm off time to get some breakfast and get some work done.
[10:05] <brylie> click Settings > Repositories
[10:05] <graveson> brylie: is  it sufficient to backup /var /etc and /usr in case of a restore after a system crash
[10:06] <bambie> brylie done
[10:06] <brylie> mainly /usr I am assuming graveson
[10:06] <Frogzoo> graveson: /home ?
[10:06] <frying_fish> graveson, I'd rather backup /home out of all that
[10:06] <brylie> yea /home is what I was thinking graveson
[10:07] <frying_fish>  /home and /etc you can re-install apps quick neough, but personal stuff is in /home and /etc contains configs
[10:07] <graveson> frogzoo: /home is on a different partition, and i have it backed up,so i am not too concerned
[10:07] <brylie> ok now click 'refresh' bambie
[10:07] <Frogzoo> graveson: typically backup /home & /etc - & /var if you keep data there, the rest you can recover with a reinstall
[10:07] <brylie> er... 'reload'
[10:07] <oldude67_> you know i have been in the slackware room most of the night,but the help here is amazing thanks to all....your great!!!!!
[10:07] <bambie> i dont see 'refresh'
[10:08] <graveson> frogzoo: i had battle getting grub to work (dual boot) and i never want to go through that again :)
[10:08] <bambie> add
[10:08] <bambie> remove
[10:08] <brylie> bambie... once you click reload search in Synaptic for 'gstreamer ugly'
[10:08] <bambie> edit
[10:08] <laowei> Hi there
[10:08] <Sir-Integra> hey guys, finally got ubuntu installed and it's working great! but having some difficulties getting my wireless to connect, anyone help?
[10:08] <brylie> bambie  in Synaptic hit CTRL-R to reload
[10:09] <laowei> this could go under useful information, but I don't know where to post it...
[10:09] <laowei> Searching around, word on the street is EPSON ME 1 will not work with Linux. Does not work and never will. It works fine. Sweet little printer with cheap ink refills, Use the PHP CUPS interface, and set printer as Epson Stylus C46 Foomatic/gutenprint-ijs.5.0...
[10:09] <bambie> k
[10:09] <bambie> done
[10:09] <bambie> searching for 'gstreamer ugly'
[10:09] <bambie> nothing came up
[10:10] <Frogzoo> graveson: if grub was hard to setup, you're probly doing something wrong
[10:10] <brylie> Sir-Integra, is your wireless card installed?
[10:10] <CheshireViking> Sir-Integra, can you give a few more details - what make of wireless card etc, I doubt I can help, but if you say what wireless card you've got it'll help somebody knowing what advice to give
[10:10] <Sir-Integra> it's a broadcom
[10:10] <Sir-Integra> let me get the correct one, one second.
[10:11] <brylie> bambie did you enable the universe repository too?
[10:11] <bambie> not sure
[10:11] <bambie> sorry
[10:11] <graveson> Frogzoo: i hope that is not the case, thanks all. what are you using to backup your system ?
[10:11] <Sir-Integra> Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g]  802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
[10:11] <brylie> bambie the universe repository is a good one to have installed
[10:11] <CheshireViking> bambie, it probably worth enabling all the repositories listed in synaptic except for backports
[10:12] <Sir-Integra> i go to system -> Administration -> Network - i see the wireless, i put my network SSID in "W00tness!" and there is no password.
[10:12] <Frogzoo> !backups
[10:12] <Sir-Integra> yet, it won't connect
[10:12] <aunes> I'm thinking of making a personal server. Is there any conflict with running: sshd, dns, web server (hosting mysql, php, django and rails through apache (or maybe something else, dunno yet)), router, firewall, etc?
[10:12] <bambie> oh k
[10:12] <bambie> let do it again than
[10:12] <aunes> oh... running it all on the same machine*
[10:12] <CheshireViking> Sir-Integra, is your router set to broadcast dhcp?
[10:12] <Sir-Integra> yes.
[10:12] <brylie> and you click enable? try disabling the wired interface as well Sir-Integra
[10:12] <Sir-Integra> my router is.
[10:13] <Sir-Integra> yeah, i did,
[10:13] <Sir-Integra> tried that
[10:13] <Sir-Integra> tried doing it before i plugged my wire in.
[10:13] <mike01> man filelight is amazing
[10:13] <mike01> its like overdisk for windows but with more features
[10:13] <Sir-Integra> been up since 10pm last night trying to get ubuntu installed :P
[10:13] <brylie> are you on the computer currently? or is this another machine you're chatting from?
[10:13] <Sir-Integra> on the system
[10:14] <bambie> k
[10:14] <brylie> try this 'sudo apt-get install wifi-radar'
[10:14] <bambie> so i'm back in synaptic
[10:14] <brylie> and you enablet the universe repository bambi?
[10:15] <bambie> can you tell me how to again, please

[10:33] <Erich85> Hi all, I have a question about my audio-- it stutters no matter what I do, and prohibits playing any videos or songs.  It often requires a reboot as it won't stop stammering even if the program is closed.  I have Feisty and a dv6000 series laptop.
[10:33] <bambie> should i try any other player besides totem?
[10:33] <CheshireViking> bambie, another option is to use seveas's repositories and install the gnome-multimedia app's, that'd install a number of different app's for playing multimeda (video & audio), I installed it and I've been able to play everything I've thrown at ubuntu
[10:34] <bambie> k
[10:34] <bambie> i'll try that
[10:34] <CheshireViking> !seveas | bambie

[10:34] <mike01> sudo apt-get install filelight

[10:41] <DarthShrine> My laptop has the Intel 945GM chipset, but the integrated sound does not work (it's a laptop). The driver is loaded and whatnot, and I'm pretty sure it's not muted. What else could be wrong?
[10:41] <snejk90> i have ubuntu 5.10
[10:41] <CheshireViking> bambie, ok, give me a sec
[10:41] <bambie> or i can double check?
[10:41] <Deviad> Can anyone pls tell me what modules need to be compiled dinamically instead of statically in order to compile mousedev as a module?
[10:42] <Flannel> snejk90: You should upgrade to 6.06, 5.10 is no longer supported
[10:42] <DarthShrine> (Yay, I managed to mention it's a laptop twice >_>)
[10:42] <spikeb> snejk90: you should upgrade to 6.06.1 at the minmum.
[10:42] <Deviad> :(
[10:42] <Erich85> Are there any other Ubuntu support options than the forums and this chat room?
[10:43] <Erich85> I cannot get a response on either...
[10:43] <CheshireViking> !version | bambie, follow this instruction by typing the command it gives you into a terminal
[10:43] <ubotu> bambie, follow this instruction by typing the command it gives you into a terminal: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type  lsb_release -a  in a !shell
[10:43] <spikeb> Erich85: yes. the wiki, or commercial support.
[10:43] <brylie> DarthShrine, you have checked the system volume control by double clicking the speaker icon next to the clock?
[10:43] <Sir-Integra> bambie: tell me your laptop model and make.
[10:43] <Erich85> spikeb:  Thanks.

[10:44] <nuked_omen> hi
[10:44] <Capricorn> Intel 940GML on an Acer Aspire 3680 it only displays max 1024x768 i need it to go higher than that.... I tried to do all the stuff that is in the forums and it still has a max resolution of 1024x768 i would like it to have the resolution of 1280x800 running ubuntu 6.06
[10:44] <mike01> how do i install base?
[10:44] <bambie> it says pentium 4
[10:44] <dchky> /sbin/ifconfig hmmm.
[10:44] <bambie> tecra?
[10:45] <bambie> maybe is that the one?
[10:45] <brylie> mike01, type this in terminal: sudo apt-get install net-tools
[10:45] <dchky> Capricorn, did you try editing your xorg.conf file manually? /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:45] <Sir-Integra> yeah, they tend to have a model number too.
[10:45] <nuked_omen> if i create an APTonCD with fiesty, can i use it to install packages on ubuntustudio?
[10:45] <Sir-Integra> i have an acer aspire 5610z
[10:45] <Capricorn> <-- noob
[10:45] <Sir-Integra> bambie:  lspci | grep Airlink
[10:45] <spikeb> nuked_omen: probably
[10:45] <Sir-Integra> then pastebin.ca it
[10:46] <brylie> or 'sudo apt-get install gnome nettool'
[10:46] <nuked_omen> i think ubuntustudio is ubuntu base with different packages than ubuntu
[10:46] <bambie> do i need to use sudo lspvi?
[10:46] <bambie> pci*
[10:46] <Sir-Integra> err yes
[10:46] <CheshireViking> bambie, first thing to do, type gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 1135D466 into a terminal
[10:46] <gcosmin> ?
[10:46] <Sir-Integra> bambie:  sudo lspci | grep Airlink
[10:46] <spikeb> nuked_omen: basically it uses the same repos for most stuff and an additional ubuntustudio repo for some of their specific stuff.
[10:46] <dchky> lspci will run without sudo
[10:46] <rausb0> bambie: no, lspci runs as user
[10:46] <Sir-Integra> ah
[10:46] <Sir-Integra> correct
[10:46] <Sir-Integra> sorry, new myself :p
[10:46] <brylie> sudo = Super User do
[10:47] <bambie> lol
[10:47] <Sir-Integra> yeah
[10:47] <nuked_omen> spikeb: ahh, thanks for clearing this out
[10:47] <bambie> so what exactly do u want me to do?
[10:47] <bambie> i did sudo and it asked me for a pass
[10:47] <Sir-Integra> don't do sudo
[10:47] <bambie> ik
[10:47] <Sir-Integra> bambie:  lspci | grep Airlink
[10:47] <Sir-Integra> then paste it
[10:47] <Sir-Integra> on pastebin.ca
[10:47] <Sir-Integra> and paste link.
[10:47] <brylie> when sudo asks for a pass just put your login password in
[10:47] <bambie> nothing? popup to pastE?
[10:48] <Sir-Integra> nothing came up? :/
[10:48] <bambie> no
[10:48] <Sir-Integra> hmm
[10:48] <Sir-Integra> try
[10:48] <Sir-Integra> bambie:  lspci | grep airlink/ corporation
[10:48] <dchky> I think elvis would know.
[10:48] <bambie> grep no corporation : no such file or dir
[10:49] <brylie> DarthShrine, is your soundcard listed under Device Manager?
[10:49] <Sir-Integra> hmm
[10:49] <Knarf> Anyone has any idea why the Japanese characters are not displayed correctly when using pidgin2.0 to chat in Japanese IRC sites with Jap Language support /
[10:49] <mike01> lol upstart wasnt installed for some reason
[10:49] <Capricorn> 1280x800 is listed in all the modes of the screen section
[10:49] <Sir-Integra> bambie:  lspci | grep airlink
[10:49] <mike01> what else is part of the base system
[10:49] <bambie> err,  grep: corporation no such file or dir
[10:49] <Sir-Integra> maybe
[10:49] <dchky> Capricorn, add 1280x1024 or what ever mode you prefer

[10:49] <Sir-Integra> not so sure if it's case sensitive.

[10:50] <koon> sorry,hello you guys
[10:51] <brylie> Capricorn, did you edin xorg.conf?
[10:51] <dchky> Capricorn, edit your xorg.conf file and locate the mode lines - you'll see things like "800x600" in descending order. Add 1280x1024 to the start
[10:51] <brylie> *edit
[10:51] <dchky> "1280x1024"
[10:51] <bambie> it says Toshiba e84-01144

[10:57] <brylie> whatever Madpilot why couldn't you pm him initally with the pastebin URI instead of being a schwartz
[10:57] <bambie> i can see in netowkr settings
[10:57] <bambie> so i guess yes?
[10:57] <Sir-Integra> alright, good.
[10:58] <Sir-Integra> sudo apt-get install wifi-radar
[10:58] <Madpilot> brylie, I started the /remove while he was still in full pastebomb mode. At that point, PMing with the pastebin URL is a bit late.
[10:58] <Sir-Integra> then restart - run wifi-radar then see if it picks up your connection.
[10:58] <bambie> done
[10:58] <MerlinZShell> anybody uses asterisk in here
[10:59] <bambie> restart my laptop?
[10:59] <Sir-Integra> yes.
[10:59] <bambie> ok
[10:59] <bambie> brb
[10:59] <Sir-Integra> i did that, and it worked for me.
[10:59] <nuked_omen> i use asterisk
[10:59] <Capricorn> that was a nice vacation
[10:59] <nuked_omen> :
[10:59] <Sir-Integra> ok.
[10:59] <nuked_omen> see?
[10:59] <brylie> better late then never-
[10:59] <bambie> one more thing
[10:59] <bambie> do u want me to unplug my wired network cable?
[10:59] <bambie> or keep that plugged?
[10:59] <felix_> hi
[10:59] <Sir-Integra> keep it in
[10:59] <bambie> ok
[10:59] <m1r> l8r guys
[10:59] <bambie> i'll be back
[11:00] <brylie> DarthShrine, is your laptop a dell Latitude?
[11:00] <Sir-Integra> what's a good alternative for msn other than GAIM or aMSN?
[11:00] <Sir-Integra> one that has more features, etc.
[11:00] <brylie> Jabber
[11:00] <spikeb> there isn't.
[11:00] <nostferka> Guys....I'm having a bit of trouble installing pam on ubuntu
[11:00] <DarthShrine> brylie, Nope, Toshiba Satellite
[11:00] <Sir-Integra> ok, didn't think so.
[11:00] <nostferka> sir--kopete!
[11:00] <brylie> ok
[11:00] <Sir-Integra> i'm assuming MSN won't run on WINE? or will it?
[11:01] <nostferka> sir-integra use kopete
[11:01] <brylie> Sir-Integra, have you ever checked out Jabber?
[11:01] <Sir-Integra> Nah, i haven't.
[11:01] <Sir-Integra> i'm too used to windows :P
[11:01] <brylie> Jabber is a protocol
[11:01] <Sir-Integra> but i'm disliking it very much lately.
[11:01] <Capricorn> so where was i oh yeah 1280x800 is all that shows up under all the modes 6 with different depths
[11:01] <brylie> it's platform independent I believe
[11:01] <nostferka> Could someone help me with PAM?
[11:01] <dchky> Press CTRL ALT and the plus minus keys on your keypad.
[11:02] <dchky> Capricorn, sorry
[11:02] <yobrien> nostferka: i thought pam modules are used in ubuntu by default
[11:02] <Sir-Integra> aMSN is ugly.
[11:02] <nostferka> well im doing a make on an rdp thing and it cant find them :(
[11:02] <nuked_omen> use gaim
[11:02] <dchky> is aMSN as ugly as the yahoo client from yahoo?
[11:02] <brylie> DarthShrine, what are you using to try and play audio?
[11:02] <Sir-Integra> nah, yahoo is ugly.
[11:02] <yobrien> nostferka: you probably need the -dev modules of pam
[11:03] <nuked_omen> i like the ugliness of aMSN though
[11:03] <nostferka> so...
[11:03] <Stonekeeper> dchky: any ideas?
[11:03] <DarthShrine> brylie, I've tried Rhythmbox for my music, but none of the system sounds work either.
[11:03] <nostferka> sudo apt-get install pam-dev?
[11:03] <CheshireViking_> Sir-Integra, last time i used aMSN, it was really ugly
[11:03] <nostferka> i installed pam from source the otherday and it screwed me over bit time
[11:03] <DarthShrine> brylie, Also, even low-level tests like noise don't work.
[11:03] <yobrien> nostferka: i meant dev pacakges
[11:03] <nostferka> so...
[11:03] <nostferka> install dev-packages?
[11:03] <dchky> I did a google search, though you are right, it's definitely not supported in ubuntu, though it is (apparently) in fedora - some of the forums have some interesting info that might help.
[11:03] <assasukasse> hi, i have a problem with a firefox addon, refuses to install, someone can give a look? http://trademanager.alibaba.com/
[11:03] <assasukasse> i need it for work
[11:03] <Capricorn> nope i only have 3 resolutions available 640 800 and 1024 in the preferences for screen resolution
[11:04] <assasukasse> since normal trademanager doesn't install under wine
[11:04] <yobrien> nostferka: right ... its probably libpam ... -dev
[11:04] <dchky> It looks as though you might need to install on another more standard hard drive and then get it up and running after.
[11:04] <Sir-Integra> oh also, i use RDP alot to connect to my windows 2003 serv, anyone got any reccomendations on what to use?
[11:04] <nostferka> kl
[11:04] <nostferka> ill try
[11:04] <dchky> tightvnc is good Sir-Integra
[11:04] <nostferka> Sir-integra im trying to run a rdp server on my linux
[11:04] <Sir-Integra> i'd have to install vnc on my server, wouldn't i?
[11:04] <nostferka> yeah
[11:04] <Sir-Integra> i dislike VNC
[11:04] <dchky> <- stupid. tightvnc wont work for that.
[11:05] <dchky> sorry.
[11:05] <Sir-Integra> :P
[11:05] <assasukasse> Sir-Integra: u can also use freeNX
[11:05] <Acs> hello
[11:05] <Sir-Integra> i want to connect over RDP, not any other alternative.
[11:05] <Acs> I opened vi and now I have no clue on how to save and then close it
[11:05] <Acs> can anyone help me out here please
[11:05] <dchky> acs press :wq
[11:05] <Sir-Integra> control and x
[11:05] <dchky> or if you want to quit without saving :q!
[11:06] <Sir-Integra> argh, annoying aMSN sounds.
[11:06] <dchky> hit escape if you are already in edit mode though.
[11:06] <Acs> dchky thanks :)
[11:06] <dchky> welcome.
[11:06] <brylie> Sir-Integra, what is wrong with VNC? it does what it does
[11:06] <Capricorn> wait shouldn't in the xorg.conf under driver shouldn't it be intel instead of VESA?
[11:06] <spikeb> Capricorn: yeah
[11:06] <magnetron> annoying MSN altogether
[11:06] <Stonekeeper> dchky: I have an idea! How about using 6.06 desktop live CD, modprobing it at that point, doing an install, then removing all desktop components?
[11:06] <spikeb> Capricorn: or i810 or whatnot heh
[11:06] <avaruus> hi. i just upgraded to feisty and had problems with mdadm. i removed the package and rebooted. now i have problems booting: grub's conf-file points to wrong places, and manually setting root(hdx,x) and kernel /vmlinuz-something enables me to boot the kernel, but the boot stops quickly with no apparent errors.
[11:06] <dchky> that might work Stonekeeper,
[11:07] <Sir-Integra> yes, i know, but i have secure RDP on my server, it's by host names, so i don't want to add an extra VNC application.
[11:07] <Stonekeeper> is there any URLs on Desktop->Server? I know there is the other way...
[11:07] <magnetron> !away > Utooo|afk
[11:07] <brylie> DarthShrine, what is listed for your audio device when you type 'lspci' in the terminal?
[11:07] <orville> Sir-Integra Hellsing!
[11:07] <Sir-Integra> indeed :)
[11:07] <Capricorn> so what should i put there the "i810" or should it be "intel i810"
[11:07] <orville> At your service ma'am!
[11:07] <DarthShrine> brylie, 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)
[11:08] <Sir-Integra> hehe, then go find me a way to connect over rdp ;)
[11:08] <rausb0> Sir-Integra: if you just need a rdp client on your linux box, use rdesktop
[11:08] <bambie> k, back lol
[11:08] <Sir-Integra> bambie, did it work?
[11:08] <Stonekeeper> dchky: i think i need reconstructor
[11:08] <bambie> i rebooted and my laptop got stuck
[11:08] <Sir-Integra> oO
[11:09] <bambie> than than i had to reboot again
[11:09] <bambie> so how can i check now?
[11:09] <Sir-Integra> rausb0, does it come prebuilt?
[11:09] <bambie> if its working or not?
[11:09] <Sir-Integra> bambie Applications -> internet ->
[11:09] <Sir-Integra> wifi-radar
[11:09] <brylie> DarthShrine, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/92825
[11:09] <rausb0> Sir-Integra: it is not in the default install, but you can easily install it with: sudo apt-get install rdesktop
[11:09] <Sir-Integra> thank you.
[11:10] <bambie> opened radar
[11:10] <bambie> shows nothing
[11:10] <nostferka> yeah
[11:10] <dchky> what can reconstructor do that ubuntu doesn't?
[11:10] <dchky> Can't find much info about it.
[11:10] <Sir-Integra> bambie - then i'm unsure, i'm not experienced enough to help you, sorry :(
[11:10] <brylie> make sure your wireless card is enabled
[11:10] <dchky> I just bit my wife on the hand, now she's all complaining.
[11:10] <dchky> sigh.
[11:11] <bambie> how do i enable that?
[11:11] <Sir-Integra> rausb0, i already have it installed, but can't find it.
[11:11] <brylie> like the check bok anh also any physical toggle switch that might be on your laptob bambie
[11:11] <bambie> no
[11:11] <rausb0> Sir-Integra: you have to start it from the command line: rdesktop -u username hostname
[11:11] <bambie> i've nothing such
[11:11] <Sir-Integra> ahh
[11:11] <brylie> Sir-Integra, did you have bambie go to system > administration > networking ?  I don't have a chat history.
[11:11] <Sir-Integra> rgr
[11:12] <bambie> Sir-integra thanks alot for the help
[11:12] <Sir-Integra> yes.
[11:12] <Sir-Integra> you're welcome bambie.
[11:12] <rausb0> Sir-Integra: there are more options, like geometry, fullscreen, etc. just read the manpage
[11:12] <Sir-Integra> thanks, will do :)
[11:12] <bambie> maybe i might have problems with my router config?
[11:12] <ubotu> Capricorn: 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)

[11:12] <Myrtti> wha
[11:12] <bambie> but when i had windows xp on my laptop my wifi worked fine?
[11:13] <Madpilot> silly bot. incredibly lagged
[11:13] <brylie> !paste | brylie
[11:13] <bambie> even tho when i had ubuntu 5.04 live cd i did work fine on it so i decided to install
[11:13] <Sir-Integra> bambie, so we know that it works on ubuntu.
[11:13] <Sir-Integra> what version of ubuntu are you using?
[11:13] <rausb0> bambie: thanks to the insane information policy of some wireless chipset manufacturers, not all wifi cards run under linux
[11:13] <bambie> dapper
[11:14] <bambie> 6.06
[11:14] <dchky> I've had lots of luck with ndswrapper and some obscure wifi cards.
[11:14] <dchky> or was it maddog? I forget.
[11:14] <Sir-Integra> sigh, stupid rdesktop, "Failed to open display"
[11:14] <Knarf> rausb0, Thanks, I can see Jap correctly on Xchat, Thanks
[11:14] <brylie> does bambie and Sir-Integra have reasons for not wanting to run 7.04?
[11:14] <Stonekeeper> dchky: it allows you to remaster the live cds
[11:14] <Sir-Integra> i do run 7.04
[11:14] <Sir-Integra> :)
[11:14] <brylie> oh
[11:14] <Capricorn> ok well i'm going to reboot and see if that took care of it
[11:14] <rausb0> Knarf: cool :) btw, are you the MinT Knarf?
[11:14] <dchky> ah, thanks Stonekeeper, wasn't aware of that one.
[11:14] <bambie> how can i update brylie?
[11:14] <dchky> adding it to my list.
[11:15] <brylie> DarthShrine, you'running 6.06 then?
[11:15] <Sir-Integra> bambie, go to the site and download the current version
[11:15] <Knarf> rausb0, what is MinT Knarf ?
[11:15] <Stonekeeper> dchky: It's gonna be ideal for putting this custom driver on, but also useful for changing usplash, grub images, packages, artwork etc
[11:15] <ROBOd> hello guys
[11:15] <pete> hoi
[11:15] <rausb0> Knarf: someone with the nick "knarf" maintained a MinT distribution for atari st computers
[11:16] <ROBOd> i'd like to know if there's any application for linux which allows me to edit iso files?
[11:16] <dchky> Sounds interesting, I'm opening an internet cafe soon, thinking of using a customized ubuntu.
[11:16] <ROBOd> i'd like to modify the bootable ubuntu-7.04-desktop-i386.iso file
[11:16] <Sir-Integra> rausb0, i get the error "Failed to open display" when i try and run  rdesktop
[11:16] <bambie> i hope updating might get my wifi working
[11:16] <DarthShrine> brylie, Nope, 7.04
[11:16] <bambie> lol
[11:16] <ROBOd> i want to replace the current memtest, with the latest version
[11:16] <rausb0> Sir-Integra: you have to run it from a terminal in X
[11:16] <ROBOd> any package which allows me to do this?
[11:16] <nuked_omen> dchky: IMHO, i don't think people would like it
[11:16] <rausb0> Sir-Integra: not on the linux text console
[11:16] <brylie> bambie https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[11:16] <Knarf> rausb0, I am Knarf because someone has taken Frank
[11:17] <Stonekeeper> dchky: what kiosk software you going to use?
[11:17] <Sir-Integra> ahh, sorry, i'm new to ubuntu/linux, can you breifly explain?
[11:17] <rausb0> Knarf: alright
[11:17] <dchky> I think you're right, we're only planning on using it on a few machines at first to see how it goes.
[11:17] <Stonekeeper> dchky: I'd be VERY inclined to use thin clients
[11:17] <brylie> bambie you have to upgrade from 6.06 to 6.10 then from 6.10 to 7.04
[11:17] <rausb0> Sir-Integra: you know how to open a terminal window in X?
[11:17] <Skiff> guys what would be a good substitute for reiserfs?!
[11:17] <bambie> oh k
[11:17] <bambie> lol
[11:17] <dchky> ext3 is a good substitute Skiff
[11:17] <Skiff> thanks
[11:17] <brylie> DarthShrine, did that link help? there woro some suggestions in the comments
[11:18] <Sir-Integra> rausb0, no - i probably do.. but i'm unsure. heh.
[11:18] <nostferka> What is the sudo command to change access rights?
[11:18] <DarthShrine> brylie, Yeah, I'm trying something now.
[11:18] <nostferka> sudo chmod or summit
[11:18] <brylie> ok cool
[11:18] <dchky> what do you mean access rights - file permissions? that would be chmod
[11:18] <bambie> how do i check the os version again, sorry
[11:18] <rausb0> Sir-Integra: are you on the desktop now or in real text mode (linux console)?
[11:18] <pete> sudo chown if you want to change a group/owner of a file
[11:18] <bambie> just wanna double check before i update
[11:18] <Sir-Integra> desktop.
[11:18] <dchky> try man chmod first though because it can be a bit complex for first time users.
[11:19] <rausb0> Sir-Integra: okay. the press alt-f2. then type in xterm and press return.
[11:19] <nostferka> ty
[11:19] <Sir-Integra> done.
[11:19] <rausb0> Sir-Integra: terminal window now open?
[11:19] <Sir-Integra> aha
[11:19] <Sir-Integra> thank you
[11:19] <Sir-Integra> :)
[11:19] <brylie> bambie System > Help and Support > Version and Release section
[11:19] <rausb0> Sir-Integra: okay, there type in your rdesktop command
[11:20] <Sir-Integra> yeah
[11:20] <Sir-Integra> it worked :)
[11:20] <brylie> did you find it bambie?
[11:20] <bambie> yes
[11:20] <bambie> thank you
[11:20] <brylie> np
[11:20] <rausb0> Sir-Integra: i usually put the rdesktop command line in a shell script, so i dont have to type all the options each time i start it.
[11:21] <bambie> brylie do u think i might have problem with my router config? maybe thats why my wifi is not working?
[11:21] <brylie> perhaps
[11:21] <bambie> but again why would it work on ubutu 5.04 live
[11:21] <Sir-Integra> rausb0,  i use 2xsecure rpd
[11:21] <Sir-Integra> goes by computer names
[11:21] <Sir-Integra> would my computer name be my hostname?
[11:22] <Sir-Integra> i'm assuming it would, but just double checking.
[11:22] <rausb0> Sir-Integra: i suppose yes
[11:22] <brylie> yea routers generally justwork... i'd lean more toward a wi-fi card incompatibility which isn't linux's fault
[11:22] <rausb0> Sir-Integra: i think you can change to name rdesktop uses to connect with the -n option
[11:22] <bambie> hrmm
[11:23] <rausb0> Sir-Integra: i don't know about secure rdp, so i'm not sure about this
[11:23] <Sir-Integra> Yes
[11:23] <Sir-Integra> it is
[11:23] <Sir-Integra> i just added my hostname to the allow list and it worked.
[11:23] <rausb0> Sir-Integra: good
[11:23] <dchky> -n would change the hostname, -u changes the username
[11:23] <Sir-Integra> yeah
[11:23] <Sir-Integra> or hostname hostname
[11:23] <Sir-Integra> usually works.
[11:23] <rausb0> Sir-Integra: and -a 16 will give you 16bpp color depth
[11:24] <Sir-Integra> now to do some customizing :)
[11:24] <brylie> bambie, is your wifi card on this list? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported
[11:24] <rausb0> Sir-Integra: (instead of default ugly 8bpp)
[11:24] <Sir-Integra> yeah, raus.
[11:24] <h4wk0> has anyone ever tried to install vnc - i am following this tutorial ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=135036 ) however i get a paterened screen
[11:24] <Sir-Integra> what's everyones prefered music player?
[11:24] <bambie> Airlink101

[11:24] <brylie> Audacious
[11:24] <rausb0> Sir-Integra: i use xmms most of the time
[11:25] <dchky> xmms, though I tend to use my cellphone for music now.
[11:25] <Sir-Integra> yeah, xmms is good.
[11:25] <Sir-Integra> hm.
[11:25] <Sir-Integra> well, this is odd.
[11:25] <Sir-Integra> i had to search around
[11:25] <Sir-Integra> for like 8 hours
[11:25] <nuked_omen> !beryl
[11:25] <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
[11:25] <Sir-Integra> when i installed windows xp
[11:25] <Sir-Integra> on this laptop
[11:25] <brylie> Audacious is lightweight and has last.fm integration Sir-Integra
[11:25] <Sir-Integra> and linux, i only had to install my wireless.
[11:25] <joe2_> hi, when I chech in users and groups use audio devices , I can't access the profile anymore. any clue concerning this issue?
[11:25] <Sir-Integra> linux 1 - windows 0
[11:25] <rausb0> Sir-Integra: :)
[11:25] <magnetron> i like rhythmbox, it has last.fm integration too
[11:26] <Sir-Integra> last.fm?
[11:26] <nuked_omen> you don't have to flame windows to fit in
[11:26] <brylie> also Amarok is very good ... has last.fm reporting and uses auto learning to rate songs Sir-Integra
[11:26] <Sir-Integra> i'm not flaming windows.
[11:26] <Sir-Integra> i'm pointing out something.
[11:26] <brylie> Sir-Integra, http://www.last.fm/user/Brylie/
[11:26] <nuked_omen> xmms doesn't work well with beryl
[11:26] <h4wk0> has anyone ever tried to install vnc - i am following this tutorial ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=135036 ) however i get a paterened screen - anyone got any idea
[11:26] <rausb0> Sir-Integra: to be precise, i use xmms for mp3 and ogg, mikmod for modfiles, sidplay for sidtunes (C=64) and timidity for midi files
[11:27] <nuked_omen> omg
[11:27] <nuked_omen> all this just to play music?
[11:27] <rausb0> nuked_omen: well mostly i use xmms
[11:27] <dchky> who plays c-64 music any more?
[11:27] <Sir-Integra> ahh i see.
[11:28] <nuked_omen> i still haven't found the best player
[11:28] <nuked_omen> i hate players that try to be smart and organize your music into categories and stuff
[11:28] <nostferka> anyone here used xrdp?
[11:28] <nuked_omen> i like xmms, but only if it understands beryl
[11:28] <rausb0> dchky: there is an active demo scene on the C=64
[11:28] <bambie> i dont know how to update
[11:28] <afief> nuked_omen, the best media player is the one you code yourself ;-)
[11:28] <bambie> bah
[11:28] <bambie> tired
[11:28] <dchky> I used to like the C-64 music from a game called driller
[11:29] <Moniker42> customisable xmms would be perfect
[11:29] <brylie> rausb0, are you familiar with Monotonik?
[11:29] <nuked_omen> afief: i did try to learn C but it was too complex for my taste
[11:29] <gordonjcp> Moniker42: xmms is skinnable
[11:29] <Moniker42> and xmms is the closest thing to that
[11:29] <rausb0> dchky: they still get new sound effects out of that old sid chip
[11:29] <dchky> xmms has a newer version out that lets you customize it fairly heavily, it was pretty buggy last time I tried it though - xmms2
[11:29] <magnetron> Moniker42: tried beep?
[11:29] <rausb0> brylie: no, what is it?
[11:29] <gordonjcp> there's also beep
[11:29] <dchky> cool rausb0 - I'll have to look it up some time.
[11:29] <joe2_> when I check in users and groups use audio devices , I can't access the profile anymore. any clue concerning this issue?
[11:29] <afief> nuked_omen, really? I actually found it quite easy... and I came from a visual basic background(VERY bad!)
[11:29] <brylie> it is a really good netlabel that started off by releasing .mod files
[11:29] <nuked_omen> dchky: sounds like what happened to winamp after the 2.8 release
[11:30] <golf_gti> hello, i have a slight problem with udev: i changed my network interface, and it is not recognized as ethX anymore, i just forgot where to look... module is loaded
[11:30] <nuked_omen> dchky: it's been sucky
[11:30] <dchky> :-)
[11:30] <rausb0> dchky: here is a short example: http://84.179.111.126:28232/
[11:30] <nuked_omen> i tried beep.. xmms does better
[11:30] <dchky> thanks.
[11:30] <h4wk0> has anyone ever tried to install vnc - i am following this tutorial ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=135036 ) however i get a paterened screen - anyone got any ideas?
[11:30] <brylie> rausb0, http://www.archive.org/details/monotonik
[11:30] <gordonjcp> rausb0: I have seven NOS SID chips in a bag
[11:31] <nuked_omen> h4wk0: stop posting the same question, it's not gonna help
[11:31] <yobrien> h4wk0: are you using a vpn?
[11:31] <rausb0> bytee: nice :)
[11:31] <brylie> there are over 180 releases on Monotonik... some reallly solid stuff throughout
[11:31] <Sir-Integra> does XMMS support nsv streams?
[11:31] <nuked_omen> nsv?
[11:31] <rausb0> dchky: listen to the bass line
[11:31] <dchky> listening now rausb0
[11:31] <Sir-Integra> yeah, video streaming.
[11:32] <bambie> Make sure that you have the packages "ubuntu-minimal" and "ubuntu-standard" installed, regardless of whether you're using Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, or Edubuntu:
[11:32] <bambie> how do i figure out if have those packages installed or not?
[11:32] <nuked_omen> afief: i don't understand why you have to declare variable before you can use them
[11:32] <h4wk0> yobrien; vpn? Im just connecting a desktop to desktop
[11:32] <seraphw> does the ubuntu live cd run in 64 bit mode or 32 bit mode?
[11:32] <rausb0> dchky, brylie, gordonjcp: best addess for c64 sidtunes is HVSC
[11:32] <yobrien> h4wk0: but the link you gave talks about using a vnc over a vpn ....
[11:32] <nuked_omen> afief: and why do you have to always type #include <stdio.h> and int main () in every program
[11:32] <brylie> rausb0, you use any tracker software?
[11:33] <nuked_omen> afief: and the data types are confusing
[11:33] <rausb0> brylie: sometimes i use soundtracker (www.soundtracker.org)
[11:33] <h4wk0> !vpn
[11:33] <ubotu> From more information on vpn please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD
[11:33] <afief> nuked_omen, you don't have to incude stdio.h, but if you want to use stuff like printf and scanf you have to
[11:33] <nuked_omen> afief: arrays, constants, variables
[11:33] <bambie> i'll be back later, guys
[11:33] <bambie> too tired
[11:33] <magnetron> nuked_omen: i am trying to learn some perl.
[11:33] <bambie> Brylie thanks alot for your help tonight
[11:33] <Sir-Integra> ah
[11:33] <dchky> bye bambie.
[11:33] <bambie> have a good night guys.
[11:33] <afief> nuked_omen, you need int main() to tell the program where to start
[11:33] <h4wk0> sorry yobrien - i dunno what i mean exacyl by vpn
[11:33] <Sir-Integra> so XMMS doesn't support nsv
[11:33] <brylie> ever heard of Psycle? http://psycle.sourceforge.net/wiki/Main_Page
[11:33] <magnetron> bambie: it is broad daylight here
[11:33] <afief> nuked_omen, just use int and char for the begining, the rest falls into place later
[11:34] <nuked_omen> afief: yeah, well you don't have to tell obvious stuff to the compiler in python
[11:34] <bambie> its 3 30 am here
[11:34] <bambie> lol
[11:34] <brylie> no problem bambie I hope we got some of your problem(s) resolved
[11:34] <bambie> and its snowing out side
[11:34] <bambie> in may
[11:34] <yobrien> h4wk0: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC
[11:34] <afief> nuked_omen, this stuff isn't really obvious. and I'd guess this is the difference that makes C faster than python
[11:35] <rausb0> brylie: looks complicated. i'd rather stick to old school soundtracking (.mod/.xm compatible)
[11:35] <nuked_omen> afief: probably. i didn't give up on learning it yet
[11:35] <nuked_omen> :)
[11:36] <brylie> it is .mod compatible.. and it has a standard tracking interface with a modular architecture.. no more complicated than you make it rausb0
[11:36] <nuked_omen> afief: how do you assign text to a variable? cuz charr arr[5]  = ( 's', 't', 'u', 'f', 'f', '\0' ); sounds stupid
[11:36] <rausb0> brylie: okay
[11:37] <brylie> modularity makes it extremely flexible.
[11:37] <afief> nuked_omen, char arr[5]  = "stuff";
[11:37] <brylie> it is a VST host so there are a trillion possibilities
[11:37] <Balachmar> How can I add a mode to xrandr?
[11:37] <afief> nuked_omen, but that needs to be arr[6]  actually
[11:37] <yobrien> nuked_omen: in c? .... you can initialize a variable to a string ... but you can assign a string to a variable
[11:38] <nuked_omen> afief: aha, thanks
[11:38] <yobrien> nuked_omen:  s/can/cant
[11:38] <nuked_omen> yeah, arr[6] 
[11:38] <yobrien> nuked_omen: char* mystring = "hello world";
[11:39] <afief> nuked_omen, if you're more into high level stuff you might wanna try C++, they have it easier with strings and stuff
[11:39] <mititelu> hey, how can i get involved programming and stuff? :-)
[11:39] <brylie> mititelu, learn Python
[11:39] <nuked_omen> afief: i just thought learning C would make it easier to understand C# and C++
[11:39] <mititelu> C/C++?
[11:39] <magnetron> mititelu: you could learn Perl
[11:39] <mititelu> :-)
[11:40] <nuked_omen> mititelu: get a C programming book
[11:40] <mititelu> any links btw?
[11:40] <nuked_omen> mititelu: or online
[11:40] <exs> I live in the UK and my ubuntu's time synchronisation is always wrong. I clicked 'select servers' button and I only get 2 UK ones to choose from. They are both inactive. Where can I find additional one? Thank very much.
[11:40] <afief> nuked_omen, it would. but f you keep concentrating on strings and stuff you'll have it easier with c++
[11:40] <brylie> true.. Perl has CPAN Python is a really easy language to read. mititelu
[11:40] <mititelu> i know C/C++ pretty good, just want some links, i'd like to help :P
[11:40] <brylie> http://www.diveintopython.org/
[11:41] <mititelu> nuked_omen: char* mystring = "hello world";, hmmm... did you allocate memory for that string?
[11:41] <rausb0> brylie: some really old tunes i made in the 90s: http://84.179.111.126:29517/  (stopping this offtopic thing now :))
[11:41] <varka> nuked_omen: as C ist sructured programming and C++ or C# are objectorientated it could bei even harder to change to them if you got familiar with structured programming
[11:41] <nuked_omen> mititelu: i didn't type that piece of code ;P
[11:41] <brylie> yea that's why I private mesaged you rausb0
[11:41] <mititelu> :-D
[11:41] <mititelu> i was doing that 3-4 years ago and crashing every prog :P
[11:42] <nuked_omen> varka: i see
[11:42] <rausb0> brylie: i cannot answer you i am not registered. my registered nick is POVaddct, but i cannot use it now without getting annoying queries :)
[11:42] <nuked_omen> varka: is C++ more 'useful'
[11:42] <yobrien> mititelu: how does that crash a program, all it does is assign to a pointer to memory on the stack (in a func) or to the heap
[11:42] <mititelu> anyhow, any links for projects / requirements
[11:42] <brylie> mititelu, http://www.diveintopython.org/ and also http://www.swig.org/ will help you reuse your c++
[11:42] <mititelu> k, thanks
[11:42] <magnetron> rausb0: what sort of "queries"?
[11:43] <rausb0> magnetron: some people who have decided me as their personal linux hotline...
[11:43] <mititelu> yobrien, if you do char* mystring="blablabla"; chances are where that blablabla string is copied is not allocated to that pointer, depends on compiler if it allocates, anyhow, he should do something like char *string; allocate memory (calloc, malloc) then strcpy
[11:44] <h4wk0> yobrien; Hamachi is a VPN - so yes doing it through a vpn
[11:44] <magnetron> rausb0: just say NO to support misuse
[11:45] <yobrien> h4wk0: ok i dont know then :) ... have you got vnc going first?
[11:45] <brylie> at what point is it support misuse? I had a friend who called me his 'computer guy' which got annoying because it seemed like I was a crutch.
[11:45] <h4wk0> yobrien; Well i test it locally and it still comes up with the parern
[11:46] <h4wk0> and its the same if i get my friend to connect to it
[11:46] <magnetron> brylie: it turns into misuse when it isn't about asking the channel for support
[11:46] <yobrien> !info vino | h4wk0

[11:54] <phx> yobrien, i want to know from where the hell does it get those damn depends

[11:57] <yobrien> phx: i dont know why proftpd depends on those pacakges
[11:58] <_Shade_> hi there
[11:58] <yobrien> hi
[11:58] <phx> yobrien, yes, but my question was not "why", but "how can i find out" :)
[11:59] <phx> i never had the faintest idea of anyone would know this...
[11:59] <_Shade_> i'm using the fvmw crystal window manager on top of my kde box and i am just wondering how can i change the gtk apps theme?
[11:59] <yobrien> phx: so proftpd doesnt directly depend on them ? .... then yeah i guess you just have to look for the dependencies of its dependencies ..... there is probably some software to do that ....
[12:00] <Stonekeeper> omg. I got mutex and lock issues when compiling a driver for 6.06: error: struct inode has no member named i_mutex. Is there a way to fix this?
[12:00] <phx> i've tracked it back for the 2nd layer, and still no depds for those
[12:03] <yobrien> left.... maybe apt-cache depends --recurse

[12:15] <reverseblade> !hi | roland
[12:15] <ubotu> roland: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[12:16] <nomad111> hey all i am having trouble changing the background image on my top gnome panel whenever, whenever i select an image to apply to the panel on the center (unnocupied) part of it is changed to the new background
[12:16] <nomad111> what am i doing wrong
[12:16] <roland> i tried enabling desktop effects in my ubuntu 7.04 on a laptop (with ati radeon x200 mobile) and then it made the screen white for a while and then it came back to desktop but no desktop effects
[12:17] <CactusWiZaRd> i have this ntfs hard drive (remote, connected via usb), but i can't install ntfs-3g because libfuse2 OR fuse-utils, because they have disappeared from synaptic... so how can i get libfuse2 and fuse-utils?
[12:17] <magnetron> roland: maybe your drivers doesn't support accelerated 3d
[12:17] <Stonekeeper> how do i know if i have a 32bit or 64bit ubuntu server installed? will it show on uname -r / -a ?
[12:17] <roland> so i install fglrx (ati commercial driver) right?
[12:17] <jhaig> Stonekeeper: I think the kernel will have a different name for 64 bit.
[12:18] <nostferka> sudo delete?
[12:18] <reverseblade> roland, try : glxinfo | grep direct
[12:18] <reverseblade> you must see direct rendering :yes or smt like that
[12:18] <Stonekeeper> /lib64 is there but I'm not sure it is 64bit
[12:18] <Bogaurd> I'm looking at installing ubuntu on a compact flash card - I'd like to mount the filesystem as a ram disk if possible, as the CF card would wear out quickly otherwise
[12:18] <roland> reverseblade, ok
[12:18] <Bogaurd> what can I do about this?
[12:18] <jhaig> Stonekeeper: What does "uname -a" say?  I have x86_64 in the output.
[12:18] <mjr> roland, it won't work with fglrx
[12:18] <reverseblade> jhaig, your kernel version
[12:18] <Stonekeeper> Linux itserver 2.6.15-26-server #1 SMP Fri Sep 8 21:00:37 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
[12:19] <reverseblade> mjr, how it does not work ?

[12:19] <reverseblade> roland, install envy

[12:19] <jhaig> Stonekeeper: I'm fairly sure that that is x86.
[12:19] <roland> reverseblade, whats envy?
[12:19] <Stonekeeper> thanks. the /lib64 foxed me
[12:19] <reverseblade> mjr, I have friends running ati with compiz

[12:27] <MrMiste1> what sort of panel problem?
[12:27] <machetero> the thing is that when I click on the icon it says that it cant find the user-guide/user-guide.xml
[12:27] <reverseblade> nomad111, whats up, please specify your problem exactly so tht we can help
[12:27] <nomad111> i am having trouble changing the background image on my top gnome panel whenever, whenever i select an image to apply to the panel on the center (unnocupied) part of it is changed to the new background
[12:27] <reverseblade> roland, that must be yes in order to run beryl or compiz
[12:27] <roland> reverseblade, so restricted driver we go
[12:27] <nomad111> the parts including the system tray and menus are not changed
[12:28] <MrMiste1> is it the same after reboot, nomad111
[12:28] <nomad111> so the panel background is inconsistent throughout the panel
[12:28] <nomad111> MrMiste1: are u saying i should reboot after changing the background?
[12:28] <MrMiste1> maybe, or just try restarting x with crtl-alt-backspace
[12:28] <nomad111> is there a place i can place screenshots in similar to the pastebin
[12:29] <MrMiste1> imageshack.us
[12:29] <reverseblade> roland, I am using nvidia and restricted driver didn't work. I installed nvidia_new and it was fine now
[12:30] <nomad111> what the hell
[12:30] <nomad111> it just works now
[12:30] <reverseblade> roland, so that depends, check out forums and wiki for ATI

[12:30] <brylie> DarthShrine, man... that is a weird issue ya got
[12:30] <nomad111> i think its a bit buggy
[12:30] <MrMiste1> tell the developers and they might fix it for the next release
[12:30] <nomad111> how do i do that
[12:31] <MrMiste1> i'll just find out
[12:31] <rdz> to which runlevel should i add my own scripts, so that they get started on boot?

[12:32] <MrMiste1> you may have to do a quick gnome register

[12:32] <nomad111> MrMiste1: i discovered wat caused the problem
[12:33] <Brade1> wat?
[12:33] <POVaddct> nostferka: is that a rdp server for X?
[12:33] <MrMiste1> go on
[12:33] <nomad111> a theme i was using applied its own image to the menu items and system try which was overriding the one i set
[12:33] <MrMiste1> ah, so it wasn't a bug
[12:33] <nomad111> but only for those regions of the panel
[12:33] <MrMiste1> oh well, atleast it's working now
[12:33] <nomad111> doesnt look like it
[12:33] <nomad111> ye
[12:33] <nomad111> i had to change back to human theme
[12:33] <nostferka> povaddct Im not too sure
[12:33] <nostferka> i think its just an rdp server
[12:34] <nostferka> it supports black box gnome and kde if thats right?
[12:34] <nostferka> I'm having a bit of trouble setting it up
[12:34] <MrMiste1> did anyone else know that fluxbox is MIT licenced?
[12:34] <MrMiste1> i think the next version of windows will look very snappy
[12:34] <MrMiste1> joking, of course
[12:35] <jimmy_> ooopd
[12:35] <reverseblade> MrMiste1, windows vista is the last windows
[12:35] <MrMiste1> in an ideal world
[12:35] <reverseblade> no that's what MS plans
[12:35] <MrMiste1> really?
[12:35] <MrMiste1> i'm a bit unsure about that
[12:35] <MrMiste1> but i'll find out for myself
[12:35] <reverseblade> they will release Windows Server 2008  and we will not here the word windows again
[12:36] <h4wk0> reverseblade; please stay off the drugs
[12:36] <reverseblade> hear
[12:36] <h4wk0> Microsoft will never stop producing as they have the customer base
[12:36] <MrMiste1> no, he's right
[12:36] <reverseblade> They are developing a new OS, called singularity, with C# kernel
[12:36] <MrMiste1> http://www.techworld.com/news/index.cfm?newsID=6718
[12:36] <DarthShrine> brylie, Aha, I simply had to check the "headphone" box in the volume control and all is working.
[12:36] <MrMiste1> vista will be the last of it's kind, ie monolithic kernel, etc
[12:37] <reverseblade> also the word "windows" will gone
[12:37] <h4wk0> Good job ive moved to ubuntu now then :)
[12:37] <reverseblade> will be gone
[12:37] <MrMiste1> "The current, integrated architecture of Microsoft Windows is unsustainable" tell us something we don't know
[12:37] <brylie> sweet DarthShrine! now you can listen to some crazy monotonik music
[12:37] <DarthShrine> brylie, I sure can. Thanks for the link.
[12:38] <reverseblade> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singularity_(operating_system) . This is the successor of windows
[12:38] <erpo> My Horizsync and Vertrefresh are set properly in xorg.conf, but I can't seem to select refresh rates higher than 57Hz at 1024x768 in the screen resolution applet. This is a very high end monitor (horizsync > 100). How can I fix this?
[12:38] <brylie> the forum link?
[12:38] <MrC_>  Does anyone knows how to change the windows style or just install window styles on Kubuntu?
[12:38] <reverseblade> it has a kernel with c#
[12:39] <nomad111> MrMiste1: have you used opensuse 10.2
[12:39] <reverseblade> nomad111, I did, it sucks
[12:39] <nomad111> do u know how to get the gnome menu in opensuse 10.2 in ubuntu
[12:39] <MrMiste1> no, i haven't used opensuse since 10.1
[12:39] <nomad111> its more compact
[12:40] <reverseblade> nomad111, opensuse, is always faster, more stable and more hardware friendly from ubuntu, BUT ...
[12:40] <nomad111> i disagree
[12:40] <kiwikwiat> hey friends, did another photo upload today - in case youd like to look or review: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kwiat/511973683/
[12:40] <nomad111> lol
[12:40] <nomad111> i think they are equally matched
[12:40] <nomad111> i am amazed at how ubuntu 7.04 detected everything i have perfectly
[12:40] <reverseblade> nomad111, it's package manager YAST sucks too much. Also the community and forums are very weak compared to ubuntu
[12:40] <nomad111> ye i know
[12:40] <MrMiste1> lest we forget desktop effects
[12:41] <nomad111> i used smart back on those days
[12:41] <MrMiste1> YAST was good when it first came out
[12:41] <nomad111> i use beryl now
[12:41] <nomad111> with everything off lol
[12:41] <MrMiste1> but they've added too much stuff
[12:41] <MrMiste1> and it's become clunky and run down
[12:41] <nomad111> just cube and emerald is all i need
[12:41] <nomad111> the boot times for opensuse were tooooo long
[12:41] <reverseblade> nomad111, they still push YAST, what a stupidness
[12:41] <reverseblade> nomad111, actually ubuntu was worse
[12:42] <nomad111> your frustration should be more focused on zmd
[12:42] <MrMiste1> feisty is lightning fast (but could be faster)
[12:42] <nomad111> which i believe is getting removed
[12:42] <reverseblade> nomad111, remember the days it has to resolve the dhcp thingy
[12:42] <MrMiste1> breezy?
[12:42] <reverseblade> even first days of fiesty
[12:42] <PSIclops> good mornin!!
[12:42] <nomad111> i never had problems with dhcp
[12:42] <bullgard4> What kind of docbook is meant in  file:///usr/share/doc/hal-doc/spec/docbook.css?
[12:42] <MrMiste1> really?
[12:42] <PSIclops> how do i create a grub boot disk?
[12:43] <nomad111> my net works nicely
[12:43] <MrMiste1> neither have I
[12:43] <nomad111> the only problem i have is java
[12:43] <MrMiste1> you mean like a boot floppy disk?
[12:43] <reverseblade> including me many people had. When I first installed fiesty, the boot was taking two minutes. As with many people, but they fixed the issue quickly
[12:43] <CheshireViking> nomad111, what java problem do you have?
[12:43] <nomad111> specifically running the client my university uses for ppl to access the university wireless network
[12:43] <nomad111> a tunnel
[12:43] <nomad111> network connect
[12:43] <nomad111> its rpm based
[12:43] <PSIclops> is there a way to create a grub boot disk?
[12:44] <nomad111> and when i connect to the uni wireless it asks for su password
[12:44] <nomad111> i managed to create a root account
[12:44] <MrMiste1> do you mean a floppy boot disk?
[12:44] <nomad111> and entered everything
[12:44] <spifff-> hey... any hints on how to use GDM custom commands to change the xorg.conf and then restart x/gdm? for some reason gdm doesn't seem to restart automatically after running my command even though i have CustomCommandNoRestart=false
[12:44] <nomad111> and then when it installs nothing happens and i am stuck on the uni homepage/portal
[12:44] <MrMiste1> PSiclops!!
[12:44] <PSIclops> YES
[12:44] <juice`> what can i do if in all movies i can see pixels on ubuntu? thats not the problem on windows, with the same movies
[12:44] <PSIclops> ??
[12:44] <heath_> nope that didn't work (uninstalling kate)
[12:44] <nomad111> and azureus does not work with java
[12:44] <heath_> and reinstalling it.
[12:44] <MrMiste1> do you mean a boot floppy disk?
[12:45] <PSIclops> yes
[12:45] <MrMiste1> right
[12:45] <MrMiste1> depends what you need it for
[12:45] <sk0tie> hi
[12:45] <nomad111> but i got wine+utorrent which i love
[12:45] <sk0tie> wtf
[12:45] <sk0tie> i cant see a nicklist
[12:45] <MrMiste1> booting to a hdd or usb
[12:45] <heath_> now i'm at a loss for what to do, i've uninstalled kubuntu-desktop, and reinstalled.
[12:45] <PSIclops> hdd
[12:46] <heath_> still kate crashes when it's ran.
[12:47] <MrMiste1> PSlclops: is it for ubuntu?
[12:47] <PSIclops> ive read man mkboot but i just cannot make out its of any use
[12:47] <PSIclops> yes
[12:47] <PSIclops> 6.06.1
[12:47] <MrMiste1> right
[12:47] <PSIclops> kernel -686
[12:47] <juice`> what can i do if in all movies i can see pixels on ubuntu? thats not the problem on windows, with the same movies. i use fglrx (ati) and ubuntu 7.04
[12:48] <MrMiste1> is it not on your master boot record?
[12:48] <julius> hi, i'm trying to put Ubuntu repository on 4 DVD. Can someone help me please ? i've already use apt-mirror to put the 15,5 go on my hard drive. I used debpartial and now i'm supposed to use debcopy but it doesn't work
[12:48] <MrMiste1> you could try doing it manually without mkboot

[01:02] <dave66554> much much better than grub....and a GUI!
[01:02] <Nom-> dave66554: What's wrong with grub?  Can it not overwrite the Windows Vista booter ?
[01:03] <hypn0> why do you need a gui to choose the OS to start :-)
[01:04] <Nom-> I sure don't...I just need to work out how to install grub :(
[01:04] <Nom-> That's normally an easy task
[01:04] <eyessssss> I have Ubuntu 7.04.. I installed it 2 days ago.. sometimes the system goes down just like that.. what the problem?
[01:04] <eyessssss> +is
[01:04] <gus> hi
[01:04] <ziroday> Nom-: you can reinstall grub with the live cd or you can use super grub disk
[01:04] <MrMiste1> It's programmed to go down
[01:04] <MrMiste1> just like Windows
[01:05] <MrMiste1> only joking, it could, of course, be a variety of problems
[01:05] <Nom-> ziroday: Trying to do that now, but grub off the livecd couldn't find my HDD
[01:05] <eyessssss> what do you mean by prgrammed?
[01:05] <eyessssss> ah ok :)
[01:05] <Nom-> ooo nasty
[01:05] <MrMiste1> what does it do as it goes down?
[01:05] <Nom-> it's not finding any of my SATA drives
[01:05] <ziroday> Nom-: i recommend you try super grub disk ive used it in the past and found it very good
[01:05] <MrMiste1> just shut off?
[01:05] <CheshireViking> eyessssss, when it goes down, does it go through the normal shutdown procedure, or does it just switch off as though the power has been cut off
[01:06] <juice`> what can i do if in all movies i can see pixels on ubuntu? thats not the problem on windows, with the same movies. i use fglrx (ati) and ubuntu 7.04
[01:06] <mh_le> I'm considdering switching to ubuntu server.. what kind of admin tools comes with it, and it it possible to upgrade to a newer version of ubuntu distro-upgrade?
[01:06] <Nom-> ziroday: Ok, getting it
[01:06] <ziroday> juice`: u using 64 bit??
[01:06] <juice`> ziroday: no
[01:06] <dave66554> can grub...use Bootit...its amazing...it sits at the front of the disk and manages partitions / images / boot manages everthing
[01:06] <eyessssss> CheshireViking: it goes to a blank screen first with some lines.. then it is off
[01:06] <MrMiste1> mh_le http://www.ubuntu.com/products/WhatIsUbuntu/serveredition
[01:07] <ziroday> juice`: youre sure you have all the drivers??
[01:07] <aa^way> how to get first 10 results with "DESC" dates?
[01:07] <juice`> ziroday: dont know, how to check it?
[01:07] <juice`> ziroday: it works, so i assume yes, but it works badly
[01:07] <aa^way> i got : "24-12-2007" and "23-12-2007" now the first one would be first and the other would be two
[01:08] <CheshireViking> eyessssss, rite, if it had been the latter suggestion, i'd have guessed at a hardware fault, not sure what the problem is if its automatically shutting down
[01:08] <ziroday> juice`:gimme a min im updating an ill tell you what packages you need. Or you could use automatix
[01:08] <ziroday> juice`: or easyubuntu
[01:08] <mh_le> MrMiste1: thanks.. how about hardware configuration is it done graphically?
[01:08] <eyessssss> CheshireViking: so you think it is ahardware problem? how can I fix this.. it happened 3 times today!
[01:08] <juice`> ziroday: well i think i got all the drivers, and if you could just point me a little i will install them
[01:08] <crdlb> ziroday: please don't recommend automatix
[01:09] <orbin> juice`: player?  files or dvds?
[01:09] <juice`> orbin: all players
[01:09] <juice`> vlc, mplayer, xine-gui, totem
[01:09] <digital_k> hello all:)
[01:09] <dave66554> Anyone need a laugh? check this .... http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=a24_1179781733
[01:09] <ziroday> crdlb: sorry i said the program that must not be named lol
[01:09] <CheshireViking> eyessssss, no i don't think it is a hardware problem, if it was as though the power was cut then it might have been, but sounds like something is set to shutdown, but I don't know how you'd check that
[01:10] <juice`> and all movies. also, for example, subtitles are ENORMOUSLY big, and also pixelized
[01:10] <MrMiste1> that's bordering on cruel
[01:10] <gregshallard> whats the super user command in debian?
[01:10] <juice`> i tried to lower them down, but that doesnt help
[01:10] <MrMiste1> sudo su
[01:10] <MrMiste1> or just su even
[01:10] <eyessssss> ok CheshireViking , thanks anyway
[01:10] <juice`> i'm pretty sure there is something wrong with screen going to fullscreen. no idea what though
[01:10] <gregshallard> ill try su, sudo doesn't work
[01:10] <Nom-> hmm
[01:11] <digital_k> dave6654: perhaps #ubuntu-offtopic is more suited for that. :)
[01:11] <digital_k> !offtopic
[01:11] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[01:11] <Nom-> is it not a good idea to use a seperate /boot partition now ?
[01:12] <dave66554> roger that......thought it might provide some light relief
[01:13] <Nom-> I usually like to micro-manage partitions to some degree
[01:13] <eeos> by the way, is there a way to rescan / refresh the parallel ports manually from the command line in ubuntu?
[01:13] <Nom-> But grub is having a real hard time finding /boot :/
[01:13] <haptiK> will ubuntu run well on a machine with a 300MHz processor?
[01:13] <Nom-> haptiK: Define "well" :)
[01:13] <dave66554> Nom...seriously give bootit a go....the difference is like sex and masturbation
[01:13] <digital_k> haptiK: only one way to find out. :)
[01:14] <Nom-> dave66554: Yeah, but i have to boot into Windows to load it :P
[01:14] <Nom-> I want to stay out of that thing if i can avoid it
[01:14] <juice`> so i guess nobody can help me with my problem...
[01:14] <dave66554> u dont...
[01:14] <Nom-> fine
[01:14] <dave66554> bootit runs from itslef..
[01:14] <Nom-> brb
[01:14] <Nom-> nah i got it, and it needs a .exe
[01:14] <dromer> !grub
[01:14] <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
[01:15] <dave66554> yea it unzips....then u make a boot disc / cd with it
[01:15] <dave66554> its not a windows app it justs packaged like that
[01:15] <Nom-> yeah i realised that
[01:15] <Nom-> but i still have to boot into Windows to make the disk
[01:15] <Nom-> i'll give it a go brb
[01:15] <haptiK> well thing is i dont have alot of money. i just moved to a new country and i cant afford a computer. i am using my gf's machine. a friend of mine i have recently made has this 300 mhz box. it doesnt sound like much but as long as i can do my work i dont care. i want to be able to run ubuntu without things hanging or having to wait for hours to load my IDE. 300 mhz isnt fast but is it sufficient enough?
[01:16] <gus> hi, where can i find a decent graphical irc client for gnome?
[01:16] <ziroday> haptiK: what ram and what pentium?
[01:16] <ziroday> gus: gaim
[01:16] <CheshireViking> haptiK, soounds like you need xubuntu, thats supposed to work better with slower processors and less ram
[01:16] <ziroday> gus: or xchat/xchat-gnome
[01:16] <mh_le> can anyone point to to a page that shows the sys admin tools for ubuntu server?
[01:17] <spikeb> haptiK: xubuntu will do it, but i hope it has some RAM
[01:17] <haptiK> ok thanks guys. ill have to ask about the ram .. thats something i forgot about when discussing the machine.
[01:17] <digital_k> haptiK: depending on RAM xubuntu should work perfectly.
[01:17] <gus> ziroday : thx, better keep irssi then :)
[01:18] <gus> linux still has a font problem

[01:19] <kadakas> does Nautilus work on Xubuntu 7.04 ?
[01:19] <digital_k> gus: what issues are you having with font?
[01:19] <gus> too simple.. looks like a webchat :s
[01:19] <ziroday> !fonts
[01:19] <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

[01:20] <Deviad> Hello, I'm using some scripts for power management. When I boot the computer it's like the scripts do not get loaded. If I plugin the cable and unplug it or viceversa they get loaded
[01:20] <gus> digital_k: comparing to windows, too big in general, i had to put system fonts at 8

[01:29] <UBUNTUuser> ok then i will, basicly i activated nividia driver support and now i only have access to shell, i cant seem to view any graphix
[01:29] <HymnToLife> no indeed
[01:29] <HymnToLife> it's far too much automated
[01:30] <stefg> dromer: if you have a file with your selections in it it would be best to do a netinstall. You just download the wanted packages and avoid useless copying or bandwidth waste

[01:33] <HymnToLife> abdulhack, apt-get install build-essential

[01:33] <dromer> stefg: btw, I'm mostly running kubuntu atm, though I originally started with ubuntu and still use a couple gnome apps, which base should I install ?
[01:33] <abdulhack> it's not on the cd i have
[01:34] <abdulhack> so apt-get install build-essentials will download everything i need to use GCC ?
[01:34] <stefg> dromer: the base is the same... so ubuntu and kubunt share the same base, only the desktop differs
[01:34] <mikeyhatesms> orbin: only offers me low resolutions
[01:34] <HymnToLife> abdulhack, it is on the CD you have
[01:34] <UBUNTUuser> as i can access shell does you no a way to either turn off the nividia dirver or something similar. thx
[01:34] <orbin> mikeyhatesms: what's the current setting?
[01:34] <mikeyhatesms> 800 x 600
[01:34] <dromer> stefg: ah ok, but it will just install all the packages I already have now anyway, cight?
[01:34] <hagisbasheruk> hay i have Nvidia GForce 3 Ti200,when the nvidai glx driver is installed the colors are all wrong,any ideas folks
[01:34] <abdulhack> HymnToLife: it's not I'm sure of this
[01:34] <UBUNTUuser> or even to get the system back to what it was this mornin
[01:35] <nn-main> Hi all!
[01:35] <stefg> dromer: given that all packages are available for feisty (if you have 3rd party repos). Especially with codecs, flash and wine there might be some manual adjustment necessary after base-install
[01:36] <dromer> stefg: hmm ok, so I first copy my sources.list and then all the packages to another hd?
[01:36] <hayden_> I just enabled Desktop Effects, is there any easy way to customize them now?
[01:36] <UBUNTUuser> oh i can give some more infomatio, in the diagnostics it sais it cant load nividia kernal modual
[01:36] <mikeyhatesms> orbin: 800 x 600 and the other one's lower than that .. how come it doesn't offer 1024?
[01:37] <haptiK> is it possible to have my terminal session as my background?
[01:37] <haptiK> or (a) terminal session rather
[01:37] <orbin> mikeyhatesms: seems like your video card/monitor is getting detected and configured incorrectly.
[01:37] <abdulhack> i heard about a website where I can download everything (binary + dependancies) to install GCC on a offline computer
[01:38] <stefg> dromer: no... best would be to have a prepared sources.list from !easysource for feisty. You do the netinstall, copy over this prepared sources.list, apt-get update and dpkg --set-selections then...
[01:38] <dromer> !easysource
[01:38] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic

[01:38] <rolan2> whats the program that downloads restricted driver easily
[01:38] <mikeyhatesms> orbin: ohhh, cuz i have 1024 on this windows, that i want to throw under the bus
[01:38] <haptiK> how do i make my terminal session windowless and semi transparent
[01:39] <haptiK> zOMG this song owns.. Toto - Africa
[01:39] <mikeyhatesms> orbin: any way around for now?
[01:39] <dromer> stefg: first I need to figure out how to backup my data and find a way to properly partition my disk so windows will install properly too :S
[01:39] <Anarion2> I've never had problems using Ubuntu, but last night I installed it on my laptop and can't use Update Manager. Everytime it searches for updates, almost all urls it tries fail. This is happing for the 'main server' and the brazilian server. Any suggestions?
[01:39] <orbin> mikeyhatesms: it's a common problem, but i'm not sure you can fix it in the livecd environment, it qould require an installed system afaik.
[01:39] <orbin> *would
[01:39] <dromer> stefg: what about source repositories?
[01:39] <stefg> dromer: install win first and leave the rest unpartitioned, the ubuntu-installer will take care of the rest
[01:40] <mikeyhatesms> orbin: ok.  whats that :)
[01:40] <stefg> dromer: you probably don't need them if you don't compile things
[01:40] <orbin> mikeyhatesms: what's what?
[01:40] <mikeyhatesms> orbin: system afaik
[01:41] <dromer> stefg: well, I had that before and it was a giant mess :S windows was on a separate extenden partition when ubuntu and other partitions where primary
[01:41] <rolan2> can i play heroes III on ubuntu ?
[01:41] <orbin> mikeyhatesms: afaik = as far as i know
[01:41] <dromer> stefg: wel I have compiled programs before (I'll prabobly have to recompile/download them again after this)
[01:41] <Moniker42> rolan2, check wine
[01:41] <Moniker42> !wine | rolan2
[01:41] <ubotu> rolan2: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[01:41] <UBUNTUuser> Im having issues with graphix on my system is there someone that could help me, plz
[01:42] <dromer> UBUNTUuser: what is the problem?
[01:42] <mikeyhatesms> k. but i can't get installed cuz i can't get past the first screen, which is the time setup
[01:42] <stefg> dromer: so your partition table was probably messed before... it's always good to start with a blank disk to get rid of possible cruft in the partition table. So if you need sources, include them
[01:43] <mikeyhatesms> oh, well, gotta go drop someone to school; back later to cry some more
[01:43] <dromer> stefg: ok thnx, and what about 3rd party sources?
[01:43] <haptiK> LOLOLOL!!!!!
[01:43] <robdeman> folks I think mod_rewrite does noty work in Fiesty?
[01:43] <mooky> it does
[01:43] <dromer> stefg: and backports project?
[01:43] <stefg> dromer: the most important things are in seveas' repo... deal with the extras later, when the rest is up and running
[01:44] <dromer> stefg: ok, yeah I have seveas active in my current sources.lust :)
[01:44] <adaptr> iieew
[01:44] <stefg> nice typo :-)
[01:44] <adaptr> he won't like that
[01:44] <dromer> stefg: I'll backup my current sources.list to be sure :)
[01:44] <crdlb> haha
[01:44] <adaptr> make sure you appetit-get'em first :)
[01:45] <hayden_> I just enabled Desktop Effects, is there any easy way to customize them now?

[01:46] <ubuntunoob101> RAID5 question: I setup a raid5 using my silicon image 3114 controller on my motherboard, however ubuntu still seems 3 individual drives instead of 1 big drive....?

[01:47] <ompaul> !raid
[01:47] <Nom-> damn, *goes hunting again*
[01:47] <The_Ball> have been using linux for 10 years but never tried ubuntu, a very nice livecd you have put together!
[01:48] <ziroda1> The_Ball: ubuntu is the best
[01:48] <abdulhack> i heard about a website where I can download everything (binary + dependancies) to install GCC on a offline computer
[01:48] <Nom-> ubotu: fakeraid is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FakeRaidHowto
[01:48] <stefg> ubuntunoob101: The raid is setup using the kernels soft-raid facility, not the fake-raid pseudo controller
[01:48] <The_Ball> one question though. the pc hasn't got a sound card, so the media player starts but exits complaining about the totem server. isn't it possible to run without sound?
[01:48] <The_Ball> ziroda1, i'll ignore that
[01:49] <SlimeyPete> The_Ball: VLC and mplayer will happily run without sound
[01:49] <hatter> hello,  when using the add a printer wizard, trying to connect to a epson c41ux on a windows 2000 box on the network, it asks for the username and password, then lets me select the host and shows the prnter , then on pressing the forward button, no printers show up in the manufacturer pull down menu
[01:49] <stefg> The_Ball: wait until you try he first 'universe'-packages :-\
[01:50] <The_Ball> SlimeyPete, ok, i tried to start the media player without running a clip, just from the start menu, even that quit with the error message
[01:50] <The_Ball> stefg, what do you mean? i pulled in gkrellm without a problem?
[01:50] <SlimeyPete> The_Ball: yeah... I'd avoid Totem, tbh. It's still a bit rubbish.
[01:50] <SlimeyPete> I use VLc for everything, personally
[01:51] <hatter> where are the ppd files located for printer drivers ?
[01:51] <The_Ball> i prefer xine, but vlc is very nice, i like the posibility of using z/Z to zoom the video in xine, and the fast forward/slow forward
[01:51] <shoot^> hey people... i'm having vnc issues! Using the Remote Desktop in Preferences, nothing updates on the client screen - although the actual desktop shows my mouse moving about etc. I'm using Beryl. Anyone know of a fix?
[01:51] <stefg> The_Ball: that was just a sarcastic remark about a lot of packages in the universe-section being more or less broken... fixable, but won't *just work* (TM)
[01:52] <peekuu> hello
[01:52] <ubuntunoob101> jeebus this is complicated
[01:52] <The_Ball> stefg, oh, hehe
[01:52] <ubuntunoob101> so ubuntu doesnt work with my motherboard's raid setup menu that i can access at boot time?
[01:53] <mh_le> how is setting up RAID in ubuntu?
[01:53] <SlimeyPete> ubuntunoob101: if I were you, I'd just use software RAID. HArdware raid on Linux can be a pain.
[01:53] <stefg> ubuntunoob101: raid setup requires the !alternate installer
[01:53] <babo> can someone tell me how to add services to runlevels on startup, and save me having to write startup scripts for every new application that I install ?
[01:53] <peekuu> anyone know how to disable the multicast dns client and just use regular dns?
[01:53] <ubuntunoob101> stefg: i have already installed...i dont want to install ubuntu since ive already got it installed
[01:53] <SlimeyPete> mh_le: use mdadm. Google for "mdadm" - there are tutorials available.
[01:53] <ubuntunoob101> i just want to get raid working...
[01:54] <babo> however removed the tool that I used to do this before, should be made use windows as an OS for 3 weeks as punishment ...
[01:54] <stefg> ubuntunoob101: ok, so waht's the situation, and what are you trying to do?
[01:55] <dromer> stefg: can you maybe help me backup my data? on the current disc I have my /home on a ~50gb partition and the rest of my data on a 200gb partition, I have a new 250gb disk hooked on my usb port, but do I need to make partitions on it first? and is it best if they are separate?
[01:55] <SlimeyPete> ubuntunoob101: I too have a Silicon Image controller (it's off-baord, though). I've never managed to get any form of Linux to talk to it as a RAID card, so I just have it configured to act like a secondary IDE controller and then I use software RAID on Linux.
[01:55] <ubuntunoob101> stefg: i have a silicon image 3114 fake-raid controller on my motherboard. At boot i went into its menu and created a raid5 array out of 3 hard disks. Ubuntu however doesnt see one big disk, it seems 3 separate disks
[01:55] <SlimeyPete> ubuntunoob101: you may as well use software RAId anyway, given that "fake" RAID cards do almost everything in software anyway
[01:56] <hatter> ubuntunoob101, fake-raid is software raid, which is windows software
[01:56] <stefg> dromer: give me a sudo fdisk -l output on pastebin, so that i can look
[01:56] <dqdev> hello there! I need some help
[01:56] <ubuntunoob101> so is there any way i can setup software raid without reinstalling?
[01:56] <stefg> ubuntunoob101: so to where did the ubunt-install go?
[01:56] <hatter> ubuntunoob101, look into md
[01:56] <Pelo> dqdev,  what with ?
[01:56] <SlimeyPete> ubuntunoob101: yep. Use mdadm. Google for some tutorials - it's not too difficult.
[01:56] <dqdev> lately i tried to install windows into my ubuntu machnie
[01:56] <eeos> is there a way to rescan / refresh the parallel ports manually from the command line in ubuntu?
[01:56] <dqdev> no I regret it
[01:56] <hatter> ubuntunoob101, yes you can, there are some good howtos on google
[01:57] <dqdev> and I want to get rid of the windows
[01:57] <dqdev> partition
[01:57] <dqdev> can anyone guide me through the procedure?
[01:57] <Pelo> dqdev, anyting you need to back up from that partition first ?
[01:57] <dqdev> nope
[01:57] <hatter> dqdev: start with a fresh install then
[01:57] <stefg> hatter: no...
[01:58] <hatter> stefg, ?
[01:58] <dqdev> i dont want to install everything from start
[01:58] <hatter> ah
[01:58] <ubuntunoob101> ah ok so there are no drivers to talk to my onboard raid controller?
[01:58] <stefg> dqdev: any envisoned purpose for the space formerly used by win?
[01:58] <ubuntunoob101> for linux?
[01:58] <Pelo> dqdev,  sudo apt-get install gparted then open gparted from the system menu.  locate the ntfs partition your windows is installed on ,  remove it , and format it to somethingelse like  ext3 ,    then you'll just have to mount the new partiton in fstab or sometong
[01:58] <dromer> stefg: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22288/
[01:58] <stefg> k
[01:59] <dromer> it's hda3 and 4 that need backup
[01:59] <dqdev> iI tried qtparted
[01:59] <dqdev> but didnt worked
[01:59] <dqdev> some warning saying
[01:59] <Nom-> !beryl
[01:59] <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
[01:59] <dqdev> that the sda is not correctly mountes
[01:59] <Pelo> dqdev, stop using the enter key as punctuation please
[01:59] <dqdev> mounted
 ok, sorry!
[02:00] <haptiK> does firefox leak as much memory in linux as it does on windows?
[02:00] <stefg> dromer: you have no primary partition on hda, so i'll suggest to completly wipe it and do a new partition layout. What's that funny hda5?
[02:00] <Pelo> dqdev,  you don'T want the partiton to be mounted while you delete the partiton, since qtparted is a kde app maybe you should ask in #kubuntu for instructions ,  they will be more familiar with the interface
[02:01] <ttthijs> Hi, how can you split a large wmv file into multiple smaller wmv files?
[02:01] <Pelo> haptiK, it doesn't leak but it is hungry
[02:01] <dromer> stefg: yes I know, but how can I best backup hda3 and hda4 on sda?
[02:01] <dromer> stefg: I think hda5 is my old windows partition, but it got F*ed :/
[02:01] <Pelo> ttthijs,  try using a video editor like avidemux
[02:01] <haptiK> Pelo, I'd say so.
[02:01] <dromer> stefg: it's a mess I know :P this has been bugging me for a while and now I really want it all nice and ordered :)
[02:01] <haptiK> ffs
[02:02] <NoNick> wtf this channel has 1200 users???
[02:02] <stefg> dromer: i see... so you have to first make the external disk usable, so that you can put your backup on ther
[02:02] <HymnToLife> NoNick, 1220 exactly
[02:02] <roland> i have tried to enable desktop effects after i installed a restricted driver module but it says: Compozite extension not available
[02:02] <HymnToLife> minus a few bots
[02:02] <dromer> stefg: ok, but do I need to make two separate partitions?
[02:02] <Pelo> roland, ask in #ubuntu-effects
[02:02] <CheshireViking> NoNick, it did get up to 1700+ when feisty was released
[02:02] <Pelo> that was hell
[02:02] <NoNick> i guess it shouldn't be surprising since xchat is configured to take you here on startup
[02:03] <ttthijs> Pelo, I'm trying avidemux, but is there like a commandline way to split them into multiple chunks of say 20mb? (kindof like the split command)?
[02:03] <HymnToLife> for Gutsy, we'll reach 2k :p
 These are the errors I get from qtparted: X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 169, Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed
[02:03] <royel> hey guys, I changed my Login Window in 7.04, now my system won't load up, the system starts an will just stay at the round busy cursor an black screen after showing the "Ubuntu" with the progress bar loading graphic.. any ideas?
[02:03] <Pelo> ttthijs, probably,  try man memcoder
[02:03] <stefg> dromer: not for backup purposes.... you can yust copy the stuff over to different folders, or tar the partitions up
[02:03] <ttthijs> Pelo: thx, I'll have alook
[02:03] <dromer> stefg: hmmm
[02:03] <robdeman> anybody here that has problems with mod_reqrite in Ubuntu?
[02:03] <NoNick> does ubuntu employ anybody to work on here?
[02:04] <royel> NoNick: no
[02:04] <HymnToLife> NoNick, no
[02:04] <royel> NoNick: this is voluntary
[02:04] <NoNick> oic
[02:04] <dromer> stefg: how can I best prepare the sda? with gparted or fdisk?
[02:04] <stefg> dromer: so start by making a partition on sda by  'sudo cfdisk /dev/sda
[02:04] <hatter> now when i go to system -> administration -> printing it sasy the CUPS server could not be contacted
[02:04] <Pelo> but I think some occasionnaly come in to supervise
[02:04] <dromer> stefg: ok, thoguht so :)
[02:04] <dromer> stefg: btw, thnx for sticking by to help :)
[02:04] <afief> How can i write to my NTFS partition?
[02:04] <royel> NoNick: they provide support options though, you can check on the levels an types via the home page "www.ubuntu.com"

[02:05] <stefg> dromer, do you have a Live CD at hand?
[02:05] <NoNick> i can't be bothered putting sudo before all my commands, i just "sudo bash" and then enter all my admin commands as though i'm root. does that make me evil?
[02:05] <dromer> stefg: yes, but it's an old dapper one, I alse have knoppix 4.0
[02:05] <crdlb> NoNick: if you're going to do that, at least use sudo -i
[02:06] <hatter> NoNick, or you can assign a password to root then su
[02:06] <dromer> stefg: ok I now made a primary, nonbootable partition
[02:06] <HymnToLife> sudo bash certainly is a bad idea
[02:06] <HymnToLife> sudo -i ftw
[02:06] <royel> NoNick: it's your Linux, do with it as you like.. but bear in mind, the sudo system is there to help provide you with more security.. anything you do that circumvents it is adding risk.. but again.. it is your system
[02:06] <stefg> dromer: old dapper one is perfect. It's purtpose would be just that you dont backup a running system. better look to your disks from the outside
[02:07] <stefg> dromer: ok... partiton table written? then sudo mfs -t ext 3 /dev/sda1
[02:07] <dromer> stefg: ok, so, what can I best do when I'm on the live cd? (I have irc running in a screen so I can be rigt back)
[02:07] <dromer> stefg: mkfs ?
[02:08] <stefg> dromer yes mkfs
[02:08] <royel> meh, I'll just reinstall.. :)
[02:08] <royel> cya
[02:08] <dromer> stefg: I've been wrestling with tis old 2.5" hd that didn't want to get partitioned/mkfs-ed so I used it before :P
[02:09] <stefg> dromer: there are endless ways of backing stuff up. depends on what it is, and how you want to access it. So this sda-drive refuses to be formatted?
[02:10] <dromer> stefg: no not this one, another one, it's ancient (13y/o) so I bought a 2nd hand one just now for 10 euro
[02:10] <Ayabara> is there a gnome equivalent to krename?
[02:11] <stefg> dromer: so waht's on hda 2,3,4 ?
[02:11] <redlaw> redlaw has joined #ubuntu
[02:11] <dromer> stefg: hda2 is ubuntu itself, 3 is all my media and 4 is /home
[02:12] <dromer> stefg: ok mkfs is done
[02:12] <robdeman> Feisty sucks bum
[02:12] <CheshireViking> Ayabara, http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php/GPRename
[02:12] <robdeman> it promises to be better when it comes to codecs and stuff
[02:12] <robdeman> so far I had to manually install mp3 codecs and stuff
[02:12] <stefg> dromer: ok, so i'd suggest a plain copy to a subfolder on sda1 for hda3 and 4
[02:12] <robdeman> and still it doe snot play DVDs
[02:12] <robdeman> Edgy did this mucho better
[02:12] <HymnToLife> robdeman, are you a troll ?
[02:12] <dromer> robdeman: mp3 is proprietary, ubuntu/debian is very strickt about that
[02:12] <robdeman> nope nope
[02:13] <robdeman> dromer: well Im not
[02:13] <robdeman> dromer: I just want things to work
[02:13] <CheshireViking> robdeman, my feisty plays dvd's fine
[02:13] <robdeman> dromerL Ubuntu seems to ptomise that
[02:13] <stefg> !codecs | robdeman

[02:13] <robdeman> 'upgrade npw! 7.04.. Feisty.. better! more codec! better ueser experience'
[02:13] <gnomefreak> robdeman: instead of complaining try asking for help installing them
[02:13] <extern> I cant normally boot into my ubuntu system. After the splash screen should appear, my monitor turns off and the light on it starts to blink, as if there was no video to display and the computer seems to completely halt. Though it boots fine in recovery mode and I could start the x server.
[02:14] <robdeman> well I have been on this channel the last 48hrs
[02:14] <enigma_> robdeman : automatix
[02:14] <robdeman> I got lotsa help (thanks all)
[02:14] <solowlr> I'm trying to install libjpeg on 7.04, apt-get tells me "could not find package linjpeg"
[02:14] <stefg> !fixres | extern
[02:14] <dromer> stefg: so I mount sda1 in live-cd then cp /dev/hda3 /mnt/sda1/forderforhda3/ or something?

[02:14] <robdeman> but my conclusion after 48 hrs of evaluating 7.04 is...
[02:14] <stefg> dromer: you get the hang
[02:14] <CheshireViking> robdeman, only one extra download after installation & I've been able to play every video/audio format that I've tried
[02:14] <NoNick> 
[02:14] <gnomefreak> robdeman: stop complaining and ask a question
[02:14] <dromer> stefg: exactly like that?
[02:14] <extern> stefg, I dont think that this is xserver problem, its rather the problem of the splash screen
[02:14] <gnomefreak> NoNick: try english
[02:15] <extern> as I am normally running xserver right now
[02:15] <robdeman> gnomefreakL why, i sthis the 'ask questions only channel' ?
[02:15] <gnomefreak> robdeman: this is support only. not complaining place
[02:15] <robdeman> some critical feedback can be very supporting for making things better
[02:15] <dromer> stefg: I remember when I moved my /home folder before I had to do it with dd and some1 gove me an extensive bashs-code to check it was copied 100% with no foults etc .. is this nessecary in any way?
[02:15] <CheshireViking> !offtopic | robdeman, try offtopic for general chat
[02:15] <gnomefreak> robdeman: file a bug or join #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:16] <ubotu> robdeman, try offtopic for general chat: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[02:16] <dromer> stefg: excuse my typo's mtw :$
[02:16] <afeldman> hi
[02:16] <stefg> dromer: if you want to do it from terminal i'd use mc...
[02:16] <dromer> !mc
[02:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mc - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:16] <extern> and 32 bit livecd booted properly, while 64 bit live cd had the same problem as I do right now, after installing ubuntu x64 from an alternate disc
[02:16] <robdeman> lets phrase it this way: 'how can one make DVD's play correctly on Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty' ?
[02:16] <stefg> dromer: it's a shell like norton commander... sudo apt-get install mc
[02:16] <extern> can I disable the splash screen? it seems to be the problem
[02:16] <afeldman> does someone have a  luabinding ubuntu amd 64 pakage?
[02:16] <HymnToLife> robdeman, install libdvdcss
[02:17] <HymnToLife> and preferable a Xine player

[02:17] <DjViper> robdeman: with correct codecs and/or vlc
[02:17] <Ayabara> CheshireViking, thanks for the tip
[02:17] <extern> dromer, you can install some apps from a livecd
[02:17] <robdeman> HymnToLife: I did sudo apt-get install libdvdcss
[02:17] <CactusWiZaRd> i'm trying to install ntfs-3g to my computer, BUT ubuntu claims that libfuse2 and fuse-utils can't be installed. where might be the problem?
[02:17] <enigma_> robdeman : check pm
[02:17] <dromer> extern: I have to backup while _in_ the live cd .. I can actually install an app while running it?
[02:17] <HymnToLife> robdeman, the packages is not in the standard repos
[02:18] <stefg> dromer: oh, so you are on the Live CD? then i'd simply get a root-nautilus 'gksudo nautilus' and copy the stuff over with that
[02:18] <extern> yes
[02:18] <HymnToLife> dromer, of course
[02:18] <robdeman> HymnToLife: I know I had to add medibunto repos for it -- I installed it -- and still Totem (apparently the default player for DVD's) -- doesnt want to play
[02:18] <CheshireViking> CactusWiZaRd, http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/libs/libfuse2
[02:18] <dromer> stefg: no not yet, but I'm about to, you said to do the backup while not having the partitions mounted
[02:18] <robdeman> see, I did spent some time trying to get it to work
[02:18] <dromer> stefg: I do hope they will fit though ..
[02:19] <HymnToLife> robdeman, dpkg -l | grep totem
[02:19] <HymnToLife> robdeman, gstreamer or xine ?
[02:19] <spikeb> totem sucks at playing DVDs, i dont know why we dont have ogle or some such installed instead.
[02:19] <ziroda1> spikeb: use vlc
[02:19] <star3am> hallo can someone help me with ulimit?
[02:19] <gnomefreak> spikeb: install it
[02:19] <spikeb> gnomefreak: i did :)
[02:19] <star3am> specifically max open files
[02:19] <gnomefreak> lol
[02:19] <HymnToLife> Anything with xine will play DVD very well
[02:19] <HymnToLife> Totem included
[02:19] <CheshireViking> CactusWiZaRd, http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/utils/fuse-utils
[02:19] <robdeman> HymnToLifeL I dont know, its the standard stuff that came with Feisty
[02:19] <stefg> dromer: it's ok for the home and media-drive... only the running system should not be backed up (there'S dynamically generated stuff in the tree that will wrongly be copied over)
[02:20] <gnomefreak> HymnToLife: is he trying to play dvd or mp3?
[02:20] <afeldman> i am searching for a ubuntu luabinding-0.7 amd64 package. i found on for i386 can I cahnge the package so i can use the package on amd64?
[02:20] <HymnToLife> gnomefreak, dvds, from what I can gather
[02:20] <dromer> stefg: not the home dir? I'm only copying those (hda3 and 4)
[02:20] <gnomefreak> he may need to use regoinset?
[02:20] <gnomefreak> only spelled right
[02:20] <HymnToLife> possibly
[02:20] <dromer> stefg: I'd think the home dir also has dynamic stuff
[02:20] <CheshireViking> robdeman, I used seveas's repo's to install gnome-multimedia, that installed everything I've needed for all audio & video formats
[02:21] <solowlr> anyone know where I can get updated HP Laserjet print drivers for 7.04?
[02:21] <Toma-> Can I run a squashfs system from qemu? or should i mount it, then some how make qemu use the mounted filesystem?
[02:21] <stefg> dromer: yeah, but that's not important

[02:21] <robdeman> CheshireViking: like which ones?
[02:22] <Anathema> thanks stefg
[02:22] <stefg> dromer: why not use plain dumb nautilus... this is no geek competition (See, i can do it on the console :-) )
[02:22] <CheshireViking> robdeman, do you mean which formats, or which repo's?
[02:22] <robdeman> repo's
[02:22] <dromer> stefg: haha, hmm, do I even have nautilus ? ... prabably still somewhere :P (remember, I'm in kde :#)
[02:22] <CheshireViking> !seveas | robdeman
[02:22] <ubotu> robdeman: Seveas has a popular 3rd party repository for several packages. More info (and mirrors) on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[02:23] <stefg> dromer: the file manager.... you run gnome, don't you?
[02:23] <haptiK> whats the best way to install software thats not in the "add/remove" thing so that it shows up in the menu or i can add it to the menu. im fully capable of installing software on *nix but i want to make sure its accessable with an icon (if possible) in the applications menu.
[02:23] <dromer> stefg: no, kde
[02:23] <dromer> stefg: I hate gnome :#
[02:23] <stefg> dromer: the use konqueror
[02:23] <CheshireViking> robdeman, i just used the ubuntu-multimedia-gnome meta package
[02:24] <dromer> stefg: I hate konqueror too :P (has some real issues some time) .. bet cp should be fine too ?

[02:26] <stefg> ghalib: reinstall 7.04 (7.10 isn't out yet)... you would have to upgrade breezy-dapper-edgy-feisty... that's too much pain
[02:27] <zcutlip|laptop> anybody have experience troubleshooting gnome-volume-manager?
[02:27] <CheshireViking> ghalib, with so many upgrades to be done indivually, there's a lot to go wrong, as stefg says you'd be better downloading a feisty live cd and do a fresh install from that
[02:28] <albert> does anybody know about the grub-entry / boot-options for ubuntu-server ?
[02:28] <star3am> sever freenode.net

[02:31] <CheshireViking> ghalib, if the livecd doesn't work have you tried the alternate cd, that doesn;'t use a graphical installation & works on machnes that the livecd won't work on
[02:31] <NoNick> MB of RAM?????
[02:32] <joejoe> when I check use : usermod -a -G audio joejoe I can't be able to access my profile when I restart any help ?
[02:32] <ivanss> hola

[02:32] <ghalib> ya after that i have the cd of 5.10 that does not have graphical interface it install
[02:32] <ghalib> it is built in 64mb card
[02:32] <varka> ghalib: try the alternate install cd of feisty 7.04
[02:33] <CheshireViking> !alternate | ghalib
[02:33] <ubotu> ghalib: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal
[02:33] <ghalib> i have three  cds i have tried all of them
[02:33] <reverseblade> ghalib, while installing open a console, and write dmesg | tail. It will give you the kernel info so that you can follow if something going wrong

[02:33] <vbabiy> hey guys i am trying to set up a dhcp server and dns my clients can get ip but can't access the Internet any ideas
[02:33] <stefg> ghalib: and don't try to resize any partitions... it would be best if you completly wipe the hd before
[02:33] <zcutlip|laptop> i'm having trouble with usb drives not mounting automatically in feisty.  anybody have troubleshooting advice?
[02:34] <h4wk0`> !sources

[02:34] <joejoe> ghalib your problem is from your sound device
[02:34] <ghalib> now i have installed the 5.10 but i want to upgrade it into the 7.04. is there any version of 7.04 that installs like 5.10
[02:35] <varka> ghalib: http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.04/ubuntu-7.04-alternate-i386.iso
[02:35] <stefg> ghalib: see above, it's the alternate CD
[02:35] <joejoe> ghalib, yes you can download the alternate CD
[02:35] <varka> ghalib: thats textbased install
[02:35] <ghalib> ya sometimes it says but somestimes when i insert the cd live it boots normally
[02:36] <mh_le> is it possible to use for axample a home partition already setup in a previous distro and not having it formatted duriing install of ubuntu?
[02:36] <andatche> yup
[02:36] <joejoe> ghalib, what is your pc? laptop toshiba?
[02:36] <joejoe> is your sound card intel ICH6 AC97 ?
[02:37] <NoNick> joejoe: his system is in the stoneage
[02:37] <yobrien> is it possible to only have the gnome panel on one workspace ?
[02:37] <vbabiy> hey guys i am trying to set up a dhcp server and dns my clients can get ip but can't access the Internet any ideas
[02:37] <mh_le> andatche: was that directed at me?
[02:37] <joejoe> yobrien, yes sure
[02:37] <andatche> mh_le: yup, sorry. it is easily doable
[02:38] <yobrien> joejoe: cool ... how?
[02:38] <mh_le> andatche: good.. know any webpages that explains how?
[02:38] <joejoe> right click the workespace and go to preferences
[02:38] <joejoe> there you can decide how many workspaces do you want
[02:39] <andatche> mh_le: not sure, but it's quite simple, when you get to the point of setting up your partitions do it manually, tell it to use the partition you want for /home and not to format it
[02:39] <mh_le> andatche: cool
[02:39] <yobrien> joejoe: yeah but i dont want the panel on the other workspaces....
[02:40] <zcutlip|laptop> mh_le: you'll want to make sure you create users with the same usernames/uids as before, so their homdirs and ownership will match up
[02:40] <ghalib> is there is any way to upgrade ubuntu 5.10 to ubuntu 7.04
[02:40] <haptiK> unicorndog: Nicotine seems to be for MACOS? I cant find anything for Linux.
[02:40] <stefg> ghalib: we had that already.....
[02:40] <zcutlip|laptop> ghalib: i believe the general advice is that upgrade 5.10->7.04 is not supported
[02:41] <haptiK> wrong channel
[02:41] <joejoe> yobrien, which panel you don't want it on the other workspaces?
[02:41] <zcutlip|laptop> ghalib: as stated before, probably best to do a fresh install with the 7.04 alternate cd
[02:41] <joejoe> ghalib, alternate cd works fine for you I'm sure
[02:41] <mh_le> zcutlip|laptop: can I copy the password file from my old install?
[02:42] <hopper> How can I get the sftp to work in krusader? Atm it just says it does not support that protocol.
[02:42] <friemel> hi all
[02:42] <zcutlip|laptop> mh_le: hmm.... haven't tried that... i wouldn't expect it to work.  at the very lest you'd need /etc/passwd /etc/shadow, /etc/group
[02:42] <stefg> hopper: #kubuntu ?
[02:42] <friemel> i installed ubuntu on my laptop
[02:43] <mh_le> RivaeAerya: I see
[02:43] <friemel> with an 6200 nvidia graphics card
[02:43] <zcutlip|laptop> mh_le: do you have a lot of users?  if not, you could just recreate them manually
[02:43] <hopper> stefg, So i have to install kubuntu to get 1 app to work under gnome?
[02:43] <friemel> but i only can select 1024$768 resolution
[02:43] <friemel> how can i change this ?
[02:44] <stefg> hopper: no... but krusader is a KDE app... gnome folks use gftp or gnome-commander  usually..
[02:44] <ghalib> okay thanks
[02:44] <joejoe> ghalib, you are an arab?
[02:44] <mh_le> zcutlip|laptop: well I only have a few but I don't know their passwords
[02:45] <ghalib> is there is any sort of guide or book downloadable of ubuntu 7.04
[02:45] <zcutlip|laptop> you can try copying the passwd/shadow/group files.
[02:45] <mh_le> cool
[02:45] <ghalib> no i am a PAKISTANI
[02:46] <joejoe> ok
[02:46] <zcutlip|laptop> mh_le: but you'll need all 3.
[02:46] <varka> ghalib: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Main_Page
[02:46] <ghalib> what's matter
[02:46] <hopper> stefg, looked at gnome commander...where can I make a ssh connection? Do you know?
[02:46] <joejoe> when I check use : usermod -a -G audio joejoe I can't be able to access my profile when I restart any help ?
[02:46] <CheshireViking> ghalib, https://help.ubuntu.com/ another website
[02:47] <Odysseus> Hey all
[02:47] <Odysseus> Just a quick question if anyone has the time to answer
[02:47] <stefg> hopper: hmmm, don't know... sshfs is natively supported by nautilus.
[02:47] <zcutlip|laptop> anybody have suggestions for troubleshooting automounting of usb drives?
[02:48] <zcutlip|laptop> odysseus: fell free to just ask
[02:48] <mh_le> okay
[02:48] <Odysseus> I'm running the dreaded ATI (unfortunatly), I have about 20 desktops that I want Ubuntu installed onto, all with ATI X800 cards in them
[02:48] <mh_le> zcutlip|laptop: okay cool
[02:48] <afeldman> where can i put my ubuntu files?
[02:48] <albert> kernel (hd0,6)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda7   this is my grub entry for ubuntu. i don't know what to add for normal / failsafe boot. can anybody help me? google didn't help me very much
[02:48] <D4N`> you tell me
[02:48] <afeldman> i made the files myself.
[02:48] <zcutlip|laptop> mh_le: g/l
[02:48] <bob_> hei
[02:48] <shroomsky> hello
[02:49] <Odysseus> What is the best solution that people have found to use Ubuntu on Desktops with ATI cards
[02:49] <shroomsky> how do i detect the type of motherboard i have through linux?
[02:49] <mh_le> zcutlip|laptop: g/l?
[02:49] <spikeb> to not use an ATI card
[02:49] <spikeb> heh
[02:49] <shroomsky> w/o disassembling my pc
[02:49] <stefg> hopper: either use the 'connection to server' applet or add a link like ssh://<machine>/<directory>/<subdir> to you desktop e.g.
[02:49] <Odysseus> ha, I know that
[02:49] <varka> shroomsky: lshw, hwinfo
[02:49] <spikeb> hehe
[02:49] <zcutlip|laptop> mh_le: "g/l" == "good luck"
[02:49] <Odysseus> ah
[02:49] <shroomsky> thanks
[02:50] <mh_le> zcutlip|laptop: thanks... I have one more question, does ubuntu server come with X?
[02:50] <spikeb> Odysseus: i find that if the open source driver supports the card, using that is the least headache.
[02:50] <bob_> how are you
[02:50] <zcutlip|laptop> mh_le: doesn't install X out of box, but you can apt-get install anything
[02:50] <mjr> Odysseus, to just stick with the free driver
[02:50] <Odysseus> spikeb: do you mean the one avalible from ATI it self?
[02:50] <varka> shroomsky: at least the modelstring has to be present in your BIOS as that is what those programs will read, if not ... disassemble :)
[02:50] <ghalib> how come ubuntu 7.10 releases
[02:50] <stefg> !gutsy
[02:50] <spikeb> Odysseus: no, the default driver included with X.
[02:50] <ubotu> Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10). See https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2007-April/000276.html and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GutsyReleaseSchedule Support in #ubuntu+1
[02:50] <varka> ghalib: its prealpha
[02:50] <mjr> Odysseus, and if your card isn't supported by a free driver, hit your head in the wall
[02:51] <mh_le> zcutlip|laptop: so apt-get install x.org and all is installed?
[02:51] <EnolaGay> hi, has anyone experiences with apport-gtk? Does it work for him? I have several crashes but never got a gui message.
[02:51] <zcutlip|laptop> mh_le: not sure.... you'll probably need a bit more than that
[02:51] <stefg> EnolaGay: known issue
[02:51] <robdeman> can anybody give me a sources.lst that will allow me to install the ubuntu-multimedia-gnome package??
[02:51] <Odysseus> spikeb: I've got problems with the driver, I need to get at least a 1280 x 1024 resolution for the desktop
[02:51] <dlreynolds> Anyone know how I can tell which wireless driver I am using?
[02:51] <CarinArr> !medibuntu
[02:51] <stefg> !easysource | robdeman
[02:51] <ubotu> medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/
[02:51] <ubotu> robdeman: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[02:52] <spikeb> Odysseus: then use the restricted drivers manager to install/manage ATI's driver.
[02:52] <zcutlip|laptop> mh_le: someone mentioned earlier a guide for running the server install with a gui.  not sure which package/packages you need to get a minimal gui
[02:52] <CarinArr> !medibuntu | robdeman
[02:52] <ubotu> robdeman: please see above
[02:52] <EnolaGay> stefg: So it is a bug? Is there already a bug report? If yes, could you post the link? Is it only a Feisty problem or in edgy too?
[02:52] <stefg> EnolaGay: Launchpad is full of them
[02:52] <Odysseus> spikeb:ok so the restricted driver is the one that comes from ATI?
[02:52] <ghalib> i want to run mp3 other audio formats that support in windows in ubuntu
[02:52] <ghalib> help
[02:52] <CheshireViking> robdeman, http://seveas.imbrandon.com/dists/feisty-seveas/all/
[02:52] <sIMAUm> hey
[02:52] <mh_le> zcutlip|laptop: ah okay
[02:52] <doddo> hey! Does someone know if its dangerous or wrong to swap on an image file???????
[02:52] <spikeb> Odysseus: yes. but ubuntu has an application that will manage that, no need to mess with ATI's website or anything.
[02:53] <Odysseus> spikeb: oh great, what application is it?
[02:53] <EnolaGay> stefg: if you search for apport-gtk you got nearly every bug posted through apport
[02:53] <zcutlip|laptop> mh_le: maybe ask google "ubuntu server gui"?  also check the wiki, and possibly howtoforge
[02:53] <spikeb> Odysseus: in system->administration, it's called Restricted Drivers Manager
[02:53] <mh_le> zcutlip|laptop: will du
[02:53] <mh_le> do even
[02:53] <CheshireViking> robdeman, but see the comment about reading the frontpage and getting the gpg key to authenticate them
[02:53] <EnolaGay> stefg: with gtk in name or text of course :)
[02:53] <Odysseus> What I'm looking at doing with the installs is wrapping it into a LiveCD with the correct driver so that I can install them directly all at the same time
[02:53] <CarinArr> i might go to focus and buy fence posts
[02:53] <varka> ghalib: https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/musicvideophotos/C/codecs.html
[02:53] <CarinArr> er lol.. wrong window
[02:54] <spikeb> hrm
[02:54] <Toma-> Can someone point me to a good guide for running apps from a chroot environment without disrupting the chroot users/passwd and such?
[02:54] <ghalib> can we run dvd on ubuntu?
[02:54] <Odysseus> So my next question is: Is it possible to modify the LiveCD so that it includes the restricted driver?
[02:54] <varka> !medibuntu | ghalib
[02:54] <ubotu> ghalib: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/
[02:54] <l3on> hi world!
[02:55] <spikeb> hmm
[02:55] <stefg> l3on: syntax error in line #1
[02:55] <spikeb> Odysseus: out of my league, although i know the alternative installer has some OEM options.
[02:55] <zcutlip|laptop> hi, all.. i'm really scratching my head trying to figure out why usb drives won't mount automatically.  anybody have troubleshooting advice?
[02:55] <CarinArr> stefg?
[02:55] <l3on> stefg: what kind of program do you try to run ?
[02:56] <Odysseus> I was going to go with SlaX but I need packages that come with Ubuntu already installed
[02:56] <CactusWiZaRd> how  can i remove spellcheck from tomboy?
[02:56] <stefg> CarinArr, l3on that's *hello world* :-)
[02:56] <Odysseus> that and Ubuntu is just a whole heap darn cooler
[02:56] <l3on> stefg: AHAHAHAHHA
[02:56] <Odysseus> I also want to do a bit of XGL or Beryl on it too
[02:57] <Neil-> Hey, is tehre way to make ubuntu use a clipboard like windows? ATM if I copy some text, then close the source, the paste is empty
[02:57] <Neil-> On windows, it goes into a seperate clipboard, so you can copy the item even if you close where its coming from
[02:57] <EnolaGay> stefg: Is there a workaround?
[02:57] <spikeb> Odysseus: see if anything here will help you figure something out: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation
[02:57] <Odysseus> Spikeb: Thanks for the info, at least I should be able to get the thing running properly now
[02:57] <unimatrix9> hello there
[02:57] <stefg> EnolaGay: none that i know of, except enetring the bug you want to report manually
[02:57] <herbal> Neil-, i think there is a kde app that does that
[02:58] <EnolaGay> stefg: thx
[02:58] <Odysseus> DAMN YOU ATI!
[02:58] <unimatrix9> how can i get nm-applet to load without asking for my keyring password all the time?
[02:58] <herbal> Odysseus, get a nvidia card...they show us love
[02:58] <Neil-> herbal: Seems weird its not done by default?
[02:58] <EnolaGay> cu all
[02:58] <zcutlip|laptop> unimatrix9: there's a pam module
[02:58] <zcutlip|laptop> unimatrix9: hang on a sec...
[02:58] <unimatrix9> ok
[02:59] <Odysseus> herbal: Yeah, if I had a spare 2,400 bucks to upgrade 20 Pc's I'd do it
[02:59] <herbal> ouch
[02:59] <Odysseus> Yep
[02:59] <Odysseus> anyhow, thats for the help you guys
[02:59] <Odysseus> cheers
[02:59] <Creto> Is there an easy way to locate drivers I am using in the terminal?
[03:00] <zcutlip|laptop> unimatrix9: package is libpam-keyring
[03:00] <zcutlip|laptop> unimatrix9: are you familiar with pam?
[03:00] <luciano> any good video converters for ubuntu, specifically to convert flv files for use in the psp?
[03:00] <unimatrix9> no, not really, should i have choosen something else at install , to avoid this in the future?
[03:00] <Creto> luciano: mencoder or vlc work well
[03:01] <fissUradO> aaa
[03:01] <zcutlip|laptop> unimatrix9: no, it's not installed by default.
[03:01] <Neil-> also guys, i cant play the .asx files on http://news.bbc.co.uk/ , but can in windows
[03:01] <luciano> but you need to come up with all the code and the psp is quite annoying to get right
[03:01] <Neil-> it crashes vlc and gxine - whats wrong?
[03:01] <dromer> stefg: hmm, cp-ing ~200gb takes quite a while :#
[03:02] <zcutlip|laptop> unimatrix9: i believe you just need to install libpam-keyring, and it will cause your login password to also unlock your keyring
[03:02] <unimatrix9> the network applet alway will ask, or is there an other option to setup the network?
[03:02] <luciano> vlc to convert?
[03:02] <stefg> dromer: i know... over usb it might taker like 2 haours or so
[03:02] <Neil-> .asx files and other media are the onyl reason I go back into windows now, anyone able to help me get them working in ubuntu?
[03:02] <zcutlip|laptop> unimatrix9: assuming your keyring is the same password as your login, i believe
[03:02] <unimatrix9> if i delete the keyring  can i set it up again?
[03:02] <Creto> luciano: Yea, as far as I know
[03:02] <`AnthraX> hello
[03:02] <`AnthraX> im getting an error
[03:02] <`AnthraX> :/
[03:03] <`AnthraX> E: The package secondlife-install needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[03:03] <unimatrix9> key ring was a different , from root password
[03:03] <zcutlip|laptop> unimatrix9: i would think so, though I haven't done it myself.
[03:03] <`AnthraX> what is that?
[03:03] <unimatrix9> ok, i will give it a try
[03:03] <`AnthraX> unimatrix9
[03:03] <unimatrix9> yes?
[03:03] <Creto> Is there an easy way to locate drivers I am using in the terminal?
[03:03] <zcutlip|laptop> unmatrix9: keyring is a per-user thing
[03:03] <`AnthraX> can you explain me that :?
[03:03] <`AnthraX> unimatrix9 E: The package secondlife-install needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[03:03] <NoNick> anyone seen microsoft's Live Search site recently? is it my imagination or is there a striking resemblance to something else?
[03:03] <unimatrix9> well, the keyring ( of the nm-applet ) keeps asking for the password at bootup
[03:03] <luciano> gonna have a look thanks.
[03:04] <`AnthraX> and i can't download nothing
[03:04] <herbal> NoNick, lmao yea

[03:04] <unimatrix9> yes
[03:04] <bhavik> Hello
[03:04] <unimatrix9> ok, i will go delete the keyring and see what happens
[03:04] <unimatrix9> see you in a minute or so...
[03:05] <unimatrix9> later!
[03:05] <zcutlip|laptop> unimatrix9: right.. so if you had mutliple users, they each would get their own keyring.  anyway, i think you need to sync your keyring password and your user password.  and install libpam-keyring
[03:05] <Badzo> Hello
[03:05] <unimatrix9> ok
[03:05] <bhavik> I added some sudo code from the unofficial wiki thinking it would make my mouse scroll clicking work instead when I scroll my mouse it goes forward and backwards when scrolling
[03:05] <tashe> how can i ask Ubotu questions about ubuntu?
[03:05] <dromer> stefg: yeah I probably should've just powered down and put it in the ide .. ah well ..
[03:06] <shroomsky> my motherboard is a apollo pro133, and it can support pc133/100 SDRAM
[03:06] <tashe> how can i ask Ubotu questions about ubuntu?
[03:06] <sascham83> tashe: you type a "!" and the word after it
[03:06] <shroomsky> i bought a new pc133/100 sdram but my board cant read it, i had it memory tested prior to installation
[03:06] <tashe> !dc++
[03:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dc++ - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:06] <CheshireViking> tashe, use this website, you can put in applications etc & if ubuto knows anything about them, it'll give you a link to use http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:06] <shroomsky> is there any way at all for my board to detect the extra RAM?
[03:07] <shroomsky> system monitor reads RAM = 123.2 MB
[03:07] <stefg> dromer: so depending on how you want to archive your current system partition you could educate yourself by reading !backup
[03:07] <bhavik> I added some sudo code from the unofficial wiki thinking it would make my mouse scroll clicking work instead when I scroll my mouse it goes forward and backwards when scrolling, How do I undo this?

[03:07] <tashe> do you know how to install it
[03:07] <SlimeyPete> shroomsky: check the manual. Some older boards require the RAM to be installed in a specific order (eg up to 2x128MB in first tow slots, 64MB in third, that sort of thing)

[03:09] <unimatrix9> hello i am back
[03:10] <zcutlip|laptop> unimatrix9: any luck?
[03:10] <enigma_> zcutlip|laptop : whats wrong?
[03:10] <zoneMAVERICK> hi guys :)
[03:10] <unimatrix9> nm-applet when it asks for store , just choose ignore, and yes i could delete it and setup agian
[03:10] <zcutlip|laptop> enigma_: thumbdrives not mounting autmoatically like they should
[03:11] <enigma_> zcutlip|laptop : is it turned on in System>>Preferences>>Removable media?
[03:11] <stefg> shroomsky: if the ram is recognized by the BIOS, but not by the kernel you can add a 'mem=xxx' parameter to force recognition of the full ram-capacity
[03:11] <zcutlip|laptop> indeed.
[03:11] <zoneMAVERICK> wen any of you guys have time, id like to ask some questions please
[03:11] <zcutlip|laptop> enigma_ ^
[03:11] <unimatrix9> i will reboot again and see if all is well now.. reboot, sounds like windows eh?
[03:11] <unimatrix9> :P
[03:11] <enigma_> zcutlip|laptop: standby while i think
[03:11] <unimatrix9> logout will do i guess
[03:11] <unimatrix9> :)
[03:11] <gnomefreak> zoneMAVERICK: just ask if anyone knows they will answer
[03:11] <zcutlip|laptop> unimiatrix9: okay.  i know in order to unlock the keyring automatically, at login you need libpam-keyring
[03:12] <CheshireViking_> tashe, i've no idea then, only thing i can see is for installing it on Edgy
[03:12] <zcutlip|laptop> enigma_: troubleshooting i have tried:
[03:12] <zcutlip|laptop> enigma_:  run gnome-volume-manager with daemon=no to see output
[03:12] <enigma_> zcutlip|laptop : have you tried package usbmount?
[03:12] <zoneMAVERICK> basically, i just installed ubuntu, its running on my monitor at 640 x 800 resolution
[03:12] <zoneMAVERICK> and it wont let me change it
[03:12] <tashe> ok
[03:13] <zcutlip|laptop> enigma_: usbmount?  hmmm... is this installed by default?
[03:13] <enigma_> zcutlip|laptop : no
[03:13] <johns^> zoneMAVERICK: what kind of graphics card
[03:13] <Creto> How can I find the location of a driver file using the terminal?

[03:14] <zoneMAVERICK> thankyou, i will give it a shot
[03:14] <shane_> Anyone know to get my WINE fullscreen?
[03:14] <zcutlip|laptop> enigma_: i know gnome-volume-manager is supposed to handle this....and i'm  just now sure how to get at any error messages which (i assuem) are being genrated
[03:14] <gnomefreak> zoneMAVERICK: i would look up monitor specs to find out what the refresh rates are and change them in xorg.config and add the monitor resolutions to that same file
[03:14] <gnomefreak> oh well
[03:15] <SiebaZ> hi
[03:15] <dyrne> hate it when they do that :)
[03:15] <zcutlip|laptop> enigma_:  i've tried creating a new user to see if something in the profile is borked
[03:15] <zcutlip|laptop> enigma_: no luck there either
[03:15] <enigma_> zcutlip|laptop: hmm....
[03:15] <SiebaZ> i have a prob with my direct rendering on my my radeon 9200se -.-
[03:15] <SiebaZ> can some1 help me
[03:15] <zcutlip|laptop> enigma_: no i haven't looked at usbmount, but i can't imagine a non-default package is required.
[03:16] <zcutlip|laptop> enigma_: the drive shows up in nautilus.. when i double-click it, it mounts, but not until i double click it
[03:16] <bhavik> I added some sudo code from the unofficial wiki thinking it would make my mouse scroll clicking work instead when I scroll my mouse it goes forward and backwards when scrolling, How do I undo this?
[03:17] <enigma_> zcutlip|laptop: Check the preferences again please
[03:17] <enigma_> zcutlip|laptop: Seems like its not automount
[03:17] <kdeFREAK> bhavik uninstall ?
[03:17] <larsemil> is there no .deb for amsn 0.97? cant find it. would be good with debs for tls tlc and tk aswell..
[03:18] <zcutlip|laptop> oaky... unfortunately, i'm not at the machine now.. it's at home. i can check again then.  but i have checked several times.  i've also checked in gconf-editor.  also, i've tried using a fresh user
[03:18] <zcutlip|laptop> enigma_: ^
[03:18] <enigma_> zcutlip|laptop: roger
[03:19] <zcutlip|laptop> enigma_: and when i run gnome-volume-manager from the command line with daemon=no, i see output when i plug in the device, but nothing interesting/useful
[03:19] <zcutlip|laptop> enigma_: maybe there's a way to crank up verbosity?
[03:19] <bhavik> how would I uninstall this: sudo apt-get install imwheel
[03:19] <enigma_> zcutlip|laptop: --verbose
[03:19] <zoneMAVERICK> wen i go to change the screen resolution, only one option appears (640x800). I am very very new to ubuntu, so could suomeone please explain how i would change the resolution

[03:20] <blackjackel> Help, I'm trying to boot windows from inside linux and VMWARE is telling me that windows.vmdk is not found, and it wont see it even when I browse to it and tell it right where it is....
[03:20] <johns^> zoneMAVERICK: in a gnome-terminal type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:20] <bhavik> ty
[03:20] <zcutlip|laptop> enigma_: ah ..that's useful to know.  not in the --help
[03:20] <unimatrix9> still having the same problem , keyring keeps asking for password ( nm-aplet)
[03:20] <johns^> zoneMAVERICK: answer all the questions and restart gdm (or reboot)
[03:21] <zcutlip|laptop> unimatrix9: did you install libpam-keyring?
[03:21] <unimatrix9> not yet, i will do that now
[03:21] <stefg> blackjackel: this would be better asked in #vmware, and probably your .vmx file is wrong
[03:21] <zcutlip|laptop> unimatrix9: okay
[03:21] <unimatrix9> apt-get install libpam-keyring?
[03:22] <zoneMAVERICK> okay johns ive typed that, and a blue box has appeared, what now?
[03:22] <zcutlip|laptop> unimatrix9: jsut to be clear you need 3 things:  1. install libpam-keyring (yes)
[03:22] <zcutlip|laptop> unimatrix9: 2. (i think) your login password and keyring password should be the same
[03:22] <matterteck> test
[03:22] <matterteck> trying out irssi on screen
[03:22] <zcutlip|laptop> unimatrix9: and 3. your wireless key must be in the keyring (if you deleted the keyring, you'll need to re-add that)
[03:23] <zcutlip|laptop> unimatrix9: it was a while ago that i installed libpam-keyring, but i believe i didn't have to do any additional configuration after installing it.
[03:24] <unimatrix9> will it just ask for the keyword agian and be ok?

[03:26] <Dimensions> hi ... i am installing mysql php5 etc on ubuntu got this error ... after installed and did sudo mysql ... ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
[03:27] <Dimensions> can some one tell me what is this error about
[03:27] <CactusWiZaRd> what desktop manager (or whatever) is installed to ubuntu as default?
[03:27] <CactusWiZaRd> metacity?
[03:27] <matterteck> gnome right?
[03:27] <stefg> !gnome
[03:27] <ubotu> gnome is a project that provides two things: The GNOME desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop for end-users, users, and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework for building applications that integrate into the rest of the desktop.
[03:27] <adam_> Desktop manager?
[03:27] <adam_> What do you mean?
[03:27] <bernier> Hi, I know i have 1168,8mb of unused space on my disk. Is there a way I can create  a swap file with it?
[03:27] <LadyNikon> anyone try mythubuntu yet?
[03:28] <VSpike> Sounds like a conflation of two ideas: desktop environment and window manager, which are Gnome and Metacity respectively
[03:28] <stefg> bernier: you could, but why should you want that?
[03:28] <CactusWiZaRd> adam_: well with what name you call metacity?
[03:28] <juice`> is there any way to force some specific resolution? i have all resolutions in xorg.conf from 16001200 to lowest, and still i can only choose from 720x480 and 640x480. This is TV and it's the only output connected to this computer. using fglrx drivers it was ok (but the movies were pixelized), when i switched back to ati, it's like this
[03:28] <adam_> window manager, exactly
[03:28] <LadyNikon> CactusWiZaRd: gnome is.
[03:28] <VSpike> CactusWiZaRd: window manager
[03:28] <CactusWiZaRd> oh
[03:28] <bernier> stefg I don't have enough
[03:28] <smacky> gm what is the command to change the password
[03:29] <dyrne> juice`: whats the native res of the tv?
[03:29] <LadyNikon> passwd for root smacky
[03:29] <CactusWiZaRd> but if i want to install new theme to gnome, so what category should i choose from gnome-look.org?
[03:29] <smacky> thank you
[03:29] <LadyNikon> if its for a another user i believe its passwd <user?
[03:29] <juice`> dyrne: i would say 720x480 probably, but it was working in much higher resolutions in windows
[03:29] <LadyNikon> if its for a another user i believe its passwd <user>
[03:29] <juice`> dyrne: and in ubuntu with fglrx drivers
[03:30] <stefg> bernier: if you need it for hibernation... that won't work. generally think about resizing your swap-space if you run into that issue. swapfiles are quite inefficient compared to swap-partitions
[03:30] <aa_> hi is there anything official for creating a custom livecd/boot image?
[03:30] <aa_> even better a custom installer
[03:30] <juice`> dyrne: any idea how to force higher resolution? now it says i use 'ati' drivers
[03:31] <Toma-> aa_: no :<
[03:31] <aa_> yikes
[03:31] <dromer> !automate
[03:31] <juice`> dyrne: no idea whats the diffrence between ati and fglrx though

[03:31] <zoneMAVERICK> My Monitor resolution is 1290x768 @ 6-hz, but ubuntu will only let my select 640x800 @ 50hz
[03:31] <aa_> Toma-: I found this thing UCK
[03:31] <Toma-> aa_: at this very moment tho, im following this guide and its working great. http://www.atworkonline.it/~bibe/ubuntu/custom-livecd.htm
[03:31] <robdeman> whaah I spent 3 mor ehours.. installe dall restricted codec packages and what not.. Totem refuses to play dvds still...
[03:32] <bernier> stefg i Have 2gb Ram and only 800mb swap ...
[03:32] <zcutlip|laptop> enigma_: thx for the help
[03:32] <aa_> Toma-: thanks
[03:32] <zoneMAVERICK> My Monitor resolution is 1290x768 @ 6-hz, but ubuntu will only let my select 640x800 @ 50hz. Could anyone please help me with this problem, but be quite specific with things, because i am very new to the Ubuntu OS
[03:32] <Toma-> aa_: no worries
[03:32] <enigma_> zcutlip|laptop: peace man
[03:32] <juice`> is there any way fo FORCE some screen resolution ?
[03:32] <juice`> fo=to
[03:32] <matterteck> people with monitor trouble: have you guys set up the HorizSync and VertRefresh settings in your xorg.conf
[03:33] <matterteck> that's what i had to do
[03:33] <Toma-> juice`: not really
[03:33] <stefg> bernier: as i said... for hibernation you need to have a swap-partition. and with 2GB there's no need to have more swap for normal operation (generally 256 MB is said to be enough)
[03:33] <aa_> Toma-: also, can you use that livcd to isntall from?
[03:33] <juice`> Toma-: what options do i have if i want to change it then
[03:33] <Toma-> juice`: try running xrandr to see if you can change the res with that
[03:33] <Toma-> aa_: yep
[03:33] <bernier> stefg what do you mean by "hibernation"
[03:34] <zoneMAVERICK> My Monitor resolution is 1280x768 @ 6-hz, but ubuntu will only let my select 640x800 @ 50hz. Could anyone please help me with this problem, but be quite specific with things, because i am very new to the Ubuntu OS
[03:34] <stefg> bernier: putting a laptop to deep sleep
[03:34] <Toma-> aa_: as long as you update the package manifest (in the guide)
[03:34] <bernier> stefg im not on a laptop
[03:34] <bernier> and I donN't need hibernation
[03:34] <stefg> bernier: then just don't worry, you'll be fine
[03:34] <aa_> Toma-: cool, great guide thanks
[03:34] <juice`> Toma-: no, i have only listing of very low resolutions with randr
[03:35] <Toma-> aa_: no worries! i didnt write it :D
[03:35] <aa_> I would never have thought of chrooting in
[03:35] <bernier> stefg but i'd prefer aving exrta swao than unused space ...
[03:35] <Toma-> juice`: right. what monitor do you have?
[03:35] <juice`> Toma-: maybe i could copy the Monitor section from xorg.conf that lets me change more resolutions?
[03:35] <juice`> only hdtv connected to this computer
[03:35] <Toma-> juice`: sounds good. just make sure you make a backup
[03:36] <juice`> the problem is that this xorg.conf was also using another driver
[03:36] <juice`> so i have no idea will it work, but ok
[03:36] <stefg> bernier: in these dimensions the swap-file will be unused space anyway... so better have free space for the filesystem to work with than a big useless swapfile
[03:36] <zoneMAVERICK> My Monitor resolution is 1280x768 @ 60-hz, but ubuntu will only let my select 640x800 @ 50hz. Could anyone please help me with this problem, but be quite specific with things, because i am very new to the Ubuntu OS

[03:37] <zoneMAVERICK> ubotu i did that before
[03:37] <yobrien> haha
[03:37] <zoneMAVERICK> a black screen appeared that looked like it was doing something
[03:37] <zoneMAVERICK> then it froze
[03:37] <yobrien> ubotu is a bot....
[03:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about is a bot.... - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:37] <zoneMAVERICK> i see
[03:38] <yobrien> zoneMAVERICK:  so you done what it said at that link?
[03:38] <juice`> what could that mean "/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: xserver-xorg is not installed"
[03:38] <juice`> and xserver-xorg is already the newest version.
[03:39] <Neil-> im having big problems with media on ubuntu, i cant play .asx files from news.bbc.co.uk, any ideas?
[03:39] <juice`> that's dpkg talking
[03:39] <Neil-> oits the only thing i swap back to windows for, bar games
[03:39] <zoneMAVERICK> yes i have
[03:39] <adam_> the graphic card and the monitor info, need context for solution....
[03:39] <bernier> stefg thanks
[03:39] <osfameron> Neil-: I often find media works better on linux than windows...
[03:39] <osfameron> though not always
[03:39] <stefg> juice`: that could mean your apt-database is broken (ugly)... does dpkg-configure -a give errors?
[03:40] <juice`> stefg: i just notice, it's /var/lib/dpkg/available, i see one big @@@@@@ line instead of contents
[03:40] <Neil-> osfameron: any idea how to make .asx files play?
[03:40] <stefg> juice`: uhoh.....
[03:40] <Neil-> they point to a couple of wmvs, which are rtsp:// addresses
[03:40] <juice`> that happens when something is writing to disk and loose power at the same time
[03:40] <Neil-> dont nknow what that means though
[03:40] <osfameron> Neil-: mplayer?
[03:40] <haptiK> how do i obtain more than two desktops in ubuntu???
[03:41] <juice`> any way to remake 'available' file ?
[03:41] <yobrien> zoneMAVERICK:  grep VertRefresh /etc/X11/xorg.conf ... type that in a terminal .... does it come back with any output?
[03:41] <Neil-> osfameron: Its more than that I think, vlc, gxine and movie player all crash
[03:41] <osfameron> Neil-: or maybe vlc - dunno what you're using right now
[03:41] <matterteck> Neil-: try avifile
[03:41] <Neil-> will another player help?
[03:41] <Neil-> it seems like a codec issue
[03:41] <matterteck> nt@vinux.fr.nf]  has joined #ubuntu
[03:41] <matterteck> 08:41 < Neil-> osfameron: Its more than that I think, vlc, gxine and movie player all crash
[03:41] <Neil-> ive tried 4 players as it is
[03:41] <osfameron> Neil-: yeah, that's the downside of linux multimedia, all the applications are buggy, crashy, piles of unprintable rubbish ;-)
[03:41] <matterteck> sorry
[03:41] <Neil-> lol
[03:42] <yobrien> osfameron: mplayer?
[03:42] <nomad111> does anyone know the command for showing the desktop
[03:42] <nomad111> i want to make a launcher out of it
[03:42] <osfameron> Neil-: a quick google for "linux asx" suggests ffmpeg might be able to do it.  I've never really done much with streaming - if it works, great, otherwise I usually just give up and cry.
[03:43] <osfameron> yobrien: er?
[03:43] <yobrien> osfameron: i dont think you could call mplayer rubbish ... best video player ever
[03:43] <Neil-> osfameron: ta
[03:44] <perpetual> do re mi fa so la ti do
[03:44] <osfameron> yobrien: well, I have to admit I've not used it since I first installed ubuntu with Hoary.  But back then it would crash consistently, though to be fair, it would only lock my machine up one in three times.
[03:44] <yobrien> haha
[03:44] <nomad111> anyone??
[03:44] <adam_> here!!
[03:44] <perpetual> nomad111, hi
[03:44] <nomad111> hey
[03:45] <nomad111> perpetual: do u know the show desktop command by any chance
[03:45] <perpetual> nomad111, what do you mean?
[03:45] <adam_> ?show desktop command?
[03:45] <nuu> juice`: sudo dpkg --clear-avail
[03:45] <nomad111> there has to be a command that will minimise all windows
[03:45] <nuu> then a sudo apt-get update should help
[03:45] <nomad111> i used to know now i cant
[03:46] <dyrne> well in xfce i use alt-ctrl-d not sure if thats standard
[03:46] <nomad111> do u know where keyboard shortcuts are kept
[03:46] <nomad111> in which file...
[03:46] <nomad111> coz its in there
[03:46] <nomad111> associated with ctrl-alt-del
[03:46] <nomad111> sorry ctrl-alt-D
[03:46] <perpetual> nomad111, there is a button in gnome you can add to the panel with that name
[03:46] <nomad111> ye i know that one
[03:46] <nomad111> but im using avant window navigator
[03:47] <nomad111> i dont have the bottom panel
[03:47] <nomad111> i want to add a launcher to the awn bar that will trigger the show desktop command
[03:47] <nomad111> so ye
[03:47] <nomad111> i just dont know the file where the shortcuts are kept
[03:47] <perpetual> nomad111, don't know, but surely this show desktop button uses some command internally
[03:47] <yobrien> nomad111: do you want to bind a keyboard key to a command?
[03:48] <nomad111> nope
[03:48] <nomad111> i want to create an icon that is associated with the show desktop command
[03:48] <nomad111> similar to the one in the panel
[03:48] <nomad111> that u can add
[03:48] <nomad111> however i need to know where all the bindings are kept
[03:48] <yobrien> add to what
[03:48] <nomad111> which file
[03:49] <perpetual> nomad111, if you use awn it stands to reason you use beryl, or compiz, right?
[03:49] <nomad111> yep
[03:49] <afd__> hi guys! I'm using kubuntu and all the gtk open file dialogs are 1.) very small windows (although can be resized) 2.) it hides everything except the media and home folder in the root.
[03:49] <yobrien> you can do keybinding commands with metacity dont know about beryl
[03:49] <perpetual> nomad111, you can set a mouse gesture to do what you want, moving it to the lower right corner for instance
[03:49] <afd__> Any solutions (especially for 2.)
[03:49] <Neil-> osfameron: ffmpeg is an encoder/decoder? :/
[03:50] <osfameron> Neil-: yes.  But it also does streaming
[03:50] <Neil-> back in a sec
[03:50] <perpetual> nomad111, this you can set in beryl-settings
[03:50] <nomad111> true
[03:50] <osfameron> Neil-: as I say, I haven't used it for strea... oh, you're actually *gone* rather than just afk. bah

[03:55] <whatspy> hi. I'm trying to CRON a little python maintenance script, and I can tell for sure the file was executed, but it doesn't seem like it was executed completely! which *does* work when I execute it manually! how do we debug that ?
[03:55] <gatorworks> so that diff will see changes instead of just reporting the whole file as changed
[03:55] <Dexter> perpetual: it disconnects often just on Feisty
[03:55] <perpetual> Dexter, I meant in linux. Module loaded, does it show up in dmesg, etc.
[03:55] <Dexter> perpetual: yes, but wait i'll double check
[03:55] <backfisch> has somebody a bit time for a special secret question ?
[03:55] <makki> i install wine but cant find it
[03:56] <yobrien> gatorworks: you can tell diff to ignore whitespace

[03:59] <backfisch> ah ok
[03:59] <Dexter> perpetual: nothing else regarding modem or serial port
[03:59] <perpetual> Dexter, that looks good
[03:59] <perpetual> Dexter,  is it an external serial modem?
[03:59] <kristjan_> any tips on how I'm supposed to integrate kde apps into gnome? e.g. konversation seems to use plastic colors and huge fonts (probably pt10)
[04:00] <Dexter> Perpetual: yes it is. Us Robotics Sportster Flash
[04:00] <nuu> Bogaurd: an extended partition generally holds more partitions beneath it. if you see a partition below it the same size as the extended partition, then don't worry about it
[04:00] <perpetual> Dexter, ok, have you tried using it with minicom?
[04:00] <Bogaurd> nuu: thanks :)
[04:02] <Bogaurd> is there an ubuntu package for jffs2?
[04:02] <Dexter> Perpetual: no (I dont' know if I already told you, but modem works, just stops sending/receiving packets VERY often)
[04:02] <perpetual> Dexter, as a way to debug, of course
[04:02] <Dexter> Perpetual: and doesn't disconnect
[04:02] <stefg> Bogaurd: an extended partion is a container which holds 'logical' partitons. so it's never mounted anywhere, just the logical partitions inside
[04:02] <Dexter> Perpetual: ah, is there any Guide or wiki ? ... googling for it
[04:02] <perpetual> Dexter, well, you need to find out at what level things go wrong
[04:03] <CactusWiZaRd> how can i use ntfs-3g to get pics etc. stuff to my remote hard drive?
[04:03] <bullgard4> Ubuntu 7.04 provides several documents in directories which are called DocBook. What tool provides Ubuntu to read such DocBooks?
[04:03] <perpetual> Dexter, might be at OSI level 1
[04:04] <Dexter> Perpetual, thanks! I'm looking for a Minicom guide right now so I can reboot and test
[04:04] <murrayc> bullgard4: yelp (The GNOME Help browser)
[04:05] <bullgard4> murrayc: Ah! I will try to load yelp with a DocBook file.
[04:06] <digital_k> i know this is highly OT for this room , but today is the day that Ubuntu will ship on new DELL computers, I think thats noteworthy.
[04:06] <MrMiste1> isn't it great!
[04:06] <MrMiste1> i hope it's a success
[04:06] <solowlr> any idea how I can install libcrypto on 7.04 (openssl cryptographic library)?
[04:06] <digital_k> i think so!
[04:06] <murrayc> bullgard4: The help browser should already know about all the documents (so you can search for them in yelp). But you can also drag-and-drop documents in to the yelp window.
[04:06] <solowlr> i tried apt-get install libcrypto but no package found
[04:07] <dr_willis> !find  libcrypto
[04:07] <ubotu> Found: libcrypto++-dev, libcrypto++-doc, libcrypto++-utils, libcrypto++5.2c2a, libcryptokit-ocaml (and 1 others)
[04:07] <dr_willis> solowlr,  use the correct package name.
[04:07] <POVaddct> !info openssl
[04:07] <ubotu> openssl: Secure Socket Layer (SSL) binary and related cryptographic tools. In component main, is optional. Version 0.9.8c-4build1 (feisty), package size 977 kB, installed size 2304 kB
[04:07] <blackjackel> I need help with uninstalling a package, I get "subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
[04:07] <blackjackel> "
[04:08] <POVaddct> solowlr: the package is called openssl. if you are compiling something which needs openssl, you also need to install openssl-dev
[04:08] <solowlr> dr_willis: thanks!
[04:08] <kadakas> does ubuntu support TabletPC functionality out-of-the-box ?
[04:09] <solowlr> it's an HP print driver so I'm guessing I need the devel package
[04:09] <dr_willis> solowlr,  your logic is faulty. :) dev packages are for developing/programing stuff..
[04:09] <POVaddct> solowlr: why would a printer driver need openssl?
[04:10] <dr_willis> solowlr,  i agree with POVaddct  ...
[04:10] <solowlr> for the network I/O portion?
[04:10] <yobrien> !info povray
[04:10] <ubotu> povray: Persistence of vision raytracer (3D renderer). In component multiverse, is extra. Version 1:3.6.1-6 (feisty), package size 707 kB, installed size 1768 kB
[04:10] <POVaddct> solowlr: network i/o has to be done by the printer daemon, not by the driver itself
[04:11] <drowner> Hey guys
[04:11] <`AnthraX> i need some help please
[04:11] <`AnthraX> is one thing only
[04:11] <`AnthraX> please help me...
[04:11] <obsethryl> hey is Trevinho around please?
[04:11] <drowner> i appear to have some sort of *serious* problem, and its not to do with beryl, or nvidia drivers, or anything stupid.
[04:11] <drowner> its actually what appears to be virus-like activity.
[04:12] <makki_> where can i found wine after install?
[04:12] <Frogzoo> makki_: 'which wine' will say
[04:12] <yobrien> drowner: what like going on irc #ubuntu
[04:12] <orville> drowner: describe said problem
[04:12] <drowner> well man
[04:12] <drowner> its freaking weird
[04:12] <sparrw> where might i get the efivars kernel module?
[04:12] <drowner> i have an external USB hard drive
[04:13] <nemmy[] > Does anyone know if there's a freenode help channel?
[04:13] <makki_> i install it but i dont know where is it
[04:13] <rjohnson> Has anyone had any experience installing Visio with Wine?
[04:13] <orville> #freenode
[04:13] <perpetual> sparrw, what is that anyway?
[04:13] <nemmy[] > lol, tky
[04:13] <drowner> and, it seems to randomly make itself read-only. And, i only discovered this drama because I tried to do a 'find / file.etc'
[04:13] <sparrw> perpetual: adds /sys access to the EFI stuffs
[04:14] <perpetual> nemmy[] , well there seems to be #freenode

[04:14] <`AnthraX> who will help me with that?
[04:14] <orville> how would a virus make a drive read only?
[04:14] <`AnthraX> pf :(
[04:14] <dr_willis> `AnthraX,  redownload the .deb and reinstall it.
[04:14] <drowner> and the terminal hung, repeating the same directory on this USB drive. So i went into that drive, and i can't delete anything. As soon as i try to delete the offending files, it makes the drive read-only
[04:14] <perpetual> sparrw, EFI is the BIOS in intel macs, right?
[04:14] <`AnthraX> how i do that dr_willis
[04:14] <`AnthraX> :/
[04:14] <sparrw> perpetual: yes
[04:14] <drowner> the number of files in that folder (which i have managed to get into the ./trash) is randomly changing
[04:14] <dr_willis> `AnthraX,  how did you install secondlife the first time?
[04:14] <dr_willis> !info secondlife
[04:14] <ubotu> Package secondlife does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[04:14] <rjohnson> drowner: Have you been properly stopping the drive when removing it?
[04:14] <puh> has anyone an answer to the "can't access tty; job control turned off" problem on the LiveCD of Version 7.04??
[04:15] <`AnthraX> i don't remember what i ve done

[04:15] <ThePioneer> Can anyone tell me what dir yakuake is in?
[04:15] <drowner> describes the problem.
[04:15] <`AnthraX>  i want to uninstall it
[04:15] <`AnthraX> i dont need that..
[04:15] <drowner> rjohnson: yes. when i can.
[04:15] <orville> drowner: maybe you can't delete the files because they are already read-only
[04:15] <bur[n] er> ThePioneer: /usr/bin probably... just hit alt+f2 and type yakuake
[04:15] <ThePioneer> Thanks
[04:15] <rjohnson> I had some strange problems with a USB drive because I wasn't stopping it properly
[04:15] <`AnthraX> dr_willis:  can i uninstall it somehow?
[04:15] <dr_willis> `AnthraX,  so you installed it from .deb and now want to uninstall it?
[04:15] <`AnthraX> yes
[04:15] <drowner> orville: i thought so too. But then  i remounted it, and it wasn't read-only.
[04:15] <wardyx> anyone using libnss-pgsql for their user authentication?
[04:15] <chariot_> When I log out of my session on my freshly installed Ubuntu desktop, the screen goes blank and I cannot see anything.  However, the system is working in the background as I can hear sounds.  What is the problem?
[04:16] <sharperguy> hmm, I didn't even know there was a deb for secondlife :/
[04:16] <dr_willis> should be able to use the force or other options to apt-get remove to make it do so.
[04:16] <dr_willis> sharperguy,  me either.
[04:16] <drowner> and then i did a sudo rm -rf..... and it didn't work! it BECAME read-only!
[04:16] <dyrne> chariot_: can you alt-ctrl-f2 and get to getty login?
[04:16] <`AnthraX> cause it doesn't lets me sudo
[04:16] <orville> drowner: sounds like a problem with the drive, not a virus.
[04:16] <`AnthraX> cause it doesn't lets me sudo
[04:16] <dr_willis> sharperguy,  i always install it as a user.
[04:16] <chariot_> dyrne, yes
[04:16] <`AnthraX> i can't sudo
[04:16] <sharperguy> just unzip the tarball they give you
[04:16] <`AnthraX> i searched on my sources.list dr_willis
[04:16] <dr_willis> `AnthraX,  thats a different issue then. :)
[04:16] <Killox> Hi room!  I have a quesiton.  Every once in a while the sound will stop working on my Ubuntu (7.04) and in order to get it back, I normally have to restart the computer.  Is there a way to stop/start just the sound part of linux so it will save me from restarting?  It normally happens after I come out of suspend.
[04:16] <bur[n] er> `AnthraX: that's a rpoblem... boot into the "recovery mode" and restore your sudo access
[04:16] <chariot_> Linux neelkanth 2.6.20-15-generic #2 SMP Sun Apr 15 07:36:31 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
[04:17] <chariot_> That's what I'm running.
[04:17] <perpetual> chariot_, are you sure it is plugged in right?
[04:17] <chariot_> Ubuntu 7.04
[04:17] <yobrien> Killox: thats a common problem
[04:17] <`AnthraX> hm, if i say i don't know how?
[04:17] <chariot_> perpetual, yes.
[04:17] <orville> drowner: so you think because rm -rf didn't work that the file became readonly ?
[04:17] <sharperguy> don't you have to have the root password to use recovery mode?
[04:17] <chariot_> This happens only when I log out, not when I restart my computer.
[04:17] <perpetual> chariot_, just checking
[04:17] <sniper89> hey there :)
[04:17] <`AnthraX> cause this is my first time running linux [3 days now] 
[04:17] <bur[n] er> chariot_: probably a problem with the video card driver... is it an intel?  my usplash doesn't work on my box with an i810 driver
[04:17] <sniper89> maybe somebody knows how to solve my problem
[04:17] <sniper89> I've described it on the forums
[04:17] <drowner> orville: the drive WASNT read onlt
[04:17] <chariot_> Yes.  It's an Intel.
[04:17] <sniper89> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=452808 over here
[04:18] <chariot_> Are there any fixes for this issue?
[04:18] <Killox> Yobrien: So I just have to restart?
[04:18] <drowner> when i did the rm -rf on the offending drive, it told me one of the files didnt exist, and then the drive became read only
[04:18] <`AnthraX> thats me :/
[04:18] <perpetual> chariot_, can you switch to a text terminal (ctrl-alt-f1)
[04:18] <`AnthraX> mess up
[04:18] <chariot_> How do I find out information about my video card?
[04:18] <sharperguy> `AnthraX, try running synaptic
[04:18] <chariot_> perpetual, yeah.
[04:18] <dr_willis> `AnthraX,  only the initial first created Linux user has sudo access.
[04:18] <bur[n] er> `AnthraX: reboot... open recovery mode... run "nano /etc/sudoers" and add your user name with teh proper syntax... save the file, and reboot to the normal kernel
[04:18] <`AnthraX> i edited my sources list 5 times till now
[04:18] <Maverick> how do i navigate in terminal?
[04:18] <`AnthraX> ok
[04:18] <sudobash> ?
[04:18] <`AnthraX> :X
[04:18] <perpetual> chariot_, and if you switch back, still nothing?
[04:18] <yobrien> Killox: ive got the same issue....  you can try and kill all music apps before suspend ... it helps a little but sill it doesn't fix the probem... well if your sound is also not working randomly then it maybe something else
[04:18] <dr_willis> !shell
[04:18] <sudobash> ls
[04:18] <sudobash> cd

[04:19] <MrC_> Hi there I was doing some update via terminal and it appeared this message :I was doing the update via terminal and it appear this line The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
[04:19] <POVaddct> dr_willis: i think it is mostly because newbies install software in a wrong way. they don't use the repos and d'load something with its own "installer" and install that.

[04:20] <nuu> sincero: what error do you get ? and how'd you mount it ?
[04:20] <perpetual> ubotu, is there a channel for help on cups on ubuntu?
[04:20] <POVaddct> Ghandi: it's /join #ubuntu-de

[04:21] <Killox> yobrien: Its not all the time, last time I have to reboot was about 2 days ago, and it was working fine last night.  Then this morning it just stopped.  Sigh, I just didn't want to restart.  Thanks for letting me know that I'm not the only one with the issue.  Its not a major one, just a pain!
[04:21] <sharperguy> `AnthraX, system->administration->synaptic package manager, and find the package you want to remove

[04:21] <perpetual> nuu, well, I tried
[04:21] <`AnthraX> aham
[04:22] <dr_willis> `AnthraX,  im curious as to how you even broke sudo access.
[04:22] <sincero> in fstab
[04:22] <chariot_> Ok.  I'm back.  It didn't work perpetual
[04:22] <wardyx> anyone using libnss-pgsql for their user authentication?
[04:22] <perpetual> do ti la so fa mi re do
[04:22] <perpetual> chariot_, the screen problem, right?
[04:22] <chariot_> perpetual, I had to reinstall Ubuntu because after changing the login window theme, I was unable to see anything even after a restart.
[04:22] <chariot_> perpetual, yes.
[04:22] <orville> drowner: run this command. 'touch /media/EXTERNAL200/file && ls /media/EXTERNAL200'
[04:22] <chariot_> Now, I have noticed that this happens with the default settings too after I log out.
[04:23] <orville> drowner: and type the output here
[04:23] <sincero> i mounted two windows partitions one is all right but the second not
[04:23] <perpetual> chariot_, after changing the theme it went south?
[04:23] <`AnthraX> sharperguy wow i think this is a big problem
[04:23] <chariot_> perpetual, yeah.
[04:23] <sharperguy> `AnthraX, why?
[04:23] <`AnthraX> i am really messed up
[04:23] <sincero> both FAT32
[04:23] <`AnthraX> it says to me
[04:23] <POVaddct> dr_willis: breaking sudo access is rather easy. add a new user and don't put this user in the "admin" group. then delete the primary user.
[04:23] <chariot_> I'm just afraid of logging out or changing the theme now.
[04:23] <luther> x|ruys
[04:23] <wardyx> some guys have all the luck :)
[04:23] <mbutUbuntu01> hello folks
[04:23] <dr_willis> POVaddct,  but did he do that it what i was wondering. :)
[04:23] <perpetual> have you checked what /var/log/Xorg.0.log says?
[04:23] <MrC_> ...and ubotu is crazy bot.He needs a menthal health institution Nuu
[04:23] <drowner> orville: touch: cannot touch `/media/EXTERNAL200/file': Read-only file system
[04:23] <chariot_> Let me check.
[04:24] <`AnthraX> sharperguy it says to me: Internal error opening cache PLEASE REPORT
[04:24] <POVaddct> dr_willis: maybe he is too newbie to tell us :)
[04:24] <drowner> orville: it wasn't before... now it is again
[04:24] <`AnthraX> when i went to the synaptics
[04:24] <sharperguy> `AnthraX, I've never seen that mesage before :/
[04:24] <`AnthraX> :/

[04:24] <ziggy23> Hi everyone!  I installed the KDE Desktop Metapackage but don't like it, and I want to use Gnome again.  How do I fix this?
[04:24] <nuu> sincero: are you sure you got the right partitions listed in fstab ? try matching those with the output of "sudo fdisk -l". and please reply using my nickname in your reply, so that i can see it highlighted in this messy channel
[04:24] <mbutUbuntu01> I've have some strange problems.... I use ubuntustudio(that is based on ubuntu feisty), but I tried both the ubuntustudio kernel and the ubuntu standard kernel... when I use openoffice the system crashes
[04:25] <dr_willis> ziggy23,  you can pick what desktop to use at the kdm/gdm login screen.
[04:25] <mbutUbuntu01> I don't think it could be the X server
[04:25] <sincero> i did this
[04:25] <chariot_> perpetual, there were no errors in the log the last time this happened and I checked.
[04:25] <chariot_> should I paste the log file somewhere?
[04:25] <drowner> orville: I'll unmount, remount, and try the  touch again
[04:25] <`AnthraX> dr_willis what shall i do? :)
[04:25] <orville> drowner: type 'mount' and paste the line corresponding to w/ the external drive
[04:26] <ziggy23> dr willis:  how do I do that?  Absolute beginner here.
[04:26] <`AnthraX> dr_willis the problem is caused by second-life
[04:26] <perpetual> chariot_, can you check with pstree -alcpu if you get a "normal" process tree
[04:26] <dr_willis> `AnthraX,  i think reading a few fundamentals of ubuntu books/guides would be in order.. while you backup/reinstall the system
[04:26] <drowner> orville: i did the touch, it told me all the directories on the drive.
[04:26] <`AnthraX> hmm
[04:26] <`AnthraX> :/
[04:26] <dr_willis> `AnthraX,  i seriously doubt that installing second life broke sudo
[04:26] <reverseblade> ziggy23, you should have specific problems and questions, then try  to solve each of them
[04:26] <drowner> orville: should i fsck it?
[04:26] <orville> drowner: type 'mount' and paste the line corresponding to w/ the external drive
[04:26] <MrC_> Does anyone knows if can i use pure KDE?
[04:26] <dr_willis> `AnthraX,  install stuff like that on a per user basis. not system wide also is a good idea.
[04:26] <`AnthraX> man i broked sudo again!!!!
[04:26] <MrC_> instead of Kubuntu
[04:26] <drowner> its already mounted?
[04:27] <`AnthraX> i could't use wget or sudo
[04:27] <perpetual> chariot_, you should see gdm in there, with a child gdm process, then an Xorg process hanging from the child process, and so on
[04:27] <orville> MrC_: you can do whatever you want
[04:27] <iutepal> help
[04:27] <`AnthraX> and i fixed it from the sources list dr_willis
[04:27] <drowner> orville: mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdc1 is already mounted on /media/EXTERNAL200
[04:27] <drowner> mount failed
[04:27] <dr_willis> `AnthraX,    wget being broken is a sign of a bigger issue.
[04:27] <nuu> `AnthraX: you broke sudo ? first time i've heard anything like that
[04:27] <`AnthraX> but now i searched on the sources list dr_willis and there is no such like that
[04:27] <dr_willis> `AnthraX,  souurces.list is not going to affect sudo.
[04:27] <perpetual> iutepal, you need to be slightly more specific
[04:27] <Tom47> puh its not good news but you can read the experience of others here ... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=415009
[04:27] <`AnthraX> well and yes it affected it dr_willis
[04:27] <orville> drowner: just type one word: mount
[04:28] <makki_> where can i found wine after install? please help
[04:28] <`AnthraX> i couldn't sudo dr_willis and when i removed one line it fixed..
[04:28] <dr_willis> `AnthraX,  sources.list can NOT affect the sudo stuff.
[04:28] <`AnthraX> ok
[04:28] <`AnthraX> :X
[04:28] <drowner> orville: ok. /dev/sdc1 on /media/EXTERNAL200 type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,utf8,umask=077)
[04:28] <orville> MrC_: you will need to build kde packages yourself however.
[04:28] <dr_willis> `AnthraX,  in the future - rember to backup files you edit by hand.
[04:28] <`AnthraX> i will
[04:28] <dr_willis> and bookmark this site.
[04:28] <CheshireViking_> makki_, wine should be a hidden directory in your home directory
[04:28] <dr_willis> !easysource
[04:28] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic

[04:28] <perpetual> chariot_, the idea is to figure out if Xorg is actually running or crashes
[04:28] <synchronous> hi.. excuse me but can any body tell me what do i have to install to view the man page about bind, connect, close etc. i try it on ubuntu 7 but nothing work
[04:28] <mbutUbuntu01> please... who wants to help me???
[04:29] <mbutUbuntu01> I've problems with the kernel
[04:29] <makki_> but how can i run it?
[04:29] <chariot_> perpetual, oh i see.
[04:29] <orville> drowner: do an ls in the .Trash directory
[04:29] <sharperguy> !ask | mbutUbuntu01
[04:29] <ubotu> mbutUbuntu01: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:29] <chariot_> perpetual, so you want me to log out and grab the output of that command?
[04:29] <sincero> nuu: i opened privat session
[04:29] <CheshireViking_> makki_, normally you type "wine somefile.exe"
[04:29] <perpetual> chariot_, ok, so you actually have a running X window system
[04:29] <chariot_> from another terminal?
[04:29] <chariot_> yes
[04:29] <mosi|work> quick question.. does gparted destroy data on a partition if resizing it ?
[04:29] <perpetual> chariot_, I checked your link
[04:29] <makki_> i try
[04:29] <grndslm_> hello all...how do i get my brightness keys on my laptop keyboard to work?
[04:29] <kadakas> does ubuntu support TabletPC functionality out-of-the-box ?
[04:29] <nuu> sincero: you must be a recognized user for that, so keep it to the channel
[04:29] <seraphim> mosi|work: can happen, but shouldn't
[04:30] <drowner> Orville: i got 2 directories. only one of them is the problem, so i ls-ed that
[04:30] <mosi|work> alright, thanks
[04:30] <CheshireViking_> makki_, or if you've got a file saved on your desktop as an example, you should be able to right click on it and tell it to run the file using wine
[04:30] <mosi|work> ill give it a go, see waht happens, backed everything up anyway
[04:30] <drowner> orville: and i got a whole heap of files and directories i didn't know existed
[04:30] <mordredP> hi, how do i have my partitions show up on the desktop like removable drives?
[04:30] <ziggy23> OK ok...Is there any way **short of reformatting my hard drive** that I can switch back from KDE to Gnome?  I apologize for my ignorance here, but I don't see an #ubuntu-newuser channel.
[04:30] <makki_> wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\file.exe": Module not found
[04:30] <sincero> nuu: all right. i mounted them manualy and i ran fdisk -l
[04:30] <chariot_> perpetual, so what is wrong?
[04:30] <sniper89> anybody? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=452808
[04:31] <perpetual> chariot_, now you should check if the resolution is ok, monitor not switched off because it gets a resolution it cannot display, that type of error
[04:31] <orville> drowner: go to #flood and paste the whole output there
[04:31] <nuu> sincer: no need to mount it for fdisk -l, but go ahead
[04:31] <sincero> nuu: i can acces them
[04:31] <chariot_> oh i see.
[04:31] <chariot_> how do i do that
[04:31] <CheshireViking_> makki_, sounds like the application isn't installed under wine, you'll probably be better joining #winehq for help
[04:31] <perpetual> chariot_, the process table you showed is the current situation and the screen is black?
[04:31] <chariot_> no.
[04:31] <grndslm_> ziggy23:  your display manager will allow you to choose whether you login to gnome or kde
[04:31] <orbin> mordredP: mount them in /media
[04:31] <chariot_> the screen currently is ok.  i have xchat running
[04:32] <chariot_> do you want me to grab the output of that command when the screen is blank?
[04:32] <makki_> ok
[04:32] <perpetual> chariot_, oh. I would like to now what the process table looks like when the error is occurring.
[04:32] <grndslm_> ziggy23:  in the login manager, go to "sessions" or somethin like that...will give you option
[04:32] <synchronous> how to show man page about bind(), connect(), listen() etc ? im learning socket programming
[04:32] <chariot_> perpetual, ok.
[04:32] <chariot_> give me a sec.  i'll be right back.
[04:32] <Dexterp37> perpetual: I'm at my linux workstation, messing with Minicom
[04:32] <nuu> sincero: so you can access them when mounting manually, just not when mounting from fstab ?
[04:33] <yobrien> synchronous:  alt-f2 man:bind etc...
[04:33] <`AnthraX> hmm i regenerated my sources.list but nothing

[04:33] <mordredP> orbin i am on a different distro.. how does ubuntu do that?
[04:33] <ThePioneer> Can anyone tell me the best p2p there is to use for Feisty?
[04:33] <perpetual> Dexterp37, the different software and network layers to check are:
[04:33] <grndslm_> bittorrent
[04:33] <ThePioneer> How about Amule?
[04:33] <nuu> sincero: is the mountpoint you're using in fstab a valid directory on your system ? paste your fstab on pastebin, and let's give it a look
[04:33] <stefg> !p2p | ThePioneer
[04:33] <ubotu> ThePioneer: Conventional P2P clients: Limewire/GTK-Gnutella/Frostwire (Gnutella Network).  -  BitTorrent: see !torrent  -  Direct connect: try valknut.  -  Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/P2PFileSharing for general information.
[04:33] <nuu> !pastebin | sincero
[04:33] <ubotu> sincero: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[04:34] <ThePioneer> Or Duluge?
[04:34] <ziggy23> the login manager is the first thing I see when I type my username and password?  Maybe I am confused by the vocabulary a bit.
[04:34] <stefg> !deluge

[04:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about uif - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:34] <synchronous> yobrien: is the man page installed by default. i allready try that but got nothing.
[04:34] <sudobash> yes
[04:34] <perpetual> Dexterp37, serial connection, kernel modules and that stuff. Then use minicom to see if it will make a call. The next layer is ppp, which needs PAP or CHAP.
[04:34] <nuu> uif you say ?
[04:34] <nuu> udf maybe ?
[04:34] <sudobash> i know how to burn uif
[04:34] <orbin> synchronous: try manpages-dev
[04:34] <sudobash> and udf
[04:35] <ash_> It's uif :(
[04:35] <sudobash> uif and udf
[04:35] <chariot_> perpetual: ok.  I'm now using irssi.
[04:35] <ash_> sudobash: help?
[04:35] <ash_> :D
[04:35] <sudobash> sudo wine magiciso
[04:35] <sudobash> yeah
[04:35] <ash_> :P
[04:35] <sudobash> run magic iso
[04:35] <sudobash> and convert it to iso
[04:35] <chariot_> perpetual: I saw the tree and it's not listing much under the gdm node.
[04:35] <Dexterp37> Perpetual: Minicom actually made the call
[04:35] <sudobash> no it works
[04:35] <chariot_> hold on.  i'll be back.
[04:35] <orville> drowner: the files with the non english characters; are they supposed to be there?
[04:35] <dr_willis> what is with all these funky iso variant file formats.. :)
[04:35] <sudobash> you cant burn it with mariciso
[04:35] <sudobash> but you can convert to iso
[04:35] <nuu> ash_: yeah, seems sudobash got that right: http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-decompressuif.htm
[04:35] <sudobash> ive done it
[04:36] <perpetual> When you have ppp up, you should have ip numbers on both ends of the ppp connection and at that point you should set your nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf and so on. If that works you have a full connection with IPv4
[04:36] <synchronous> orbin: thank you :)
[04:36] <nuu> and remember ash_
[04:36] <nuu> google is your friend, too
[04:36] <drowner> orville: done
[04:36] <ash_> I know but that's gonna take hella days to setup :(P
[04:36] <drowner> orville: isn't it bizarre?
[04:36] <yobrien> !find bind.2.gz
[04:36] <drowner> orville: oh god no. I dont know WHERE they came from

[04:36] <Maverick> the unpacked flahs player file is sittin on my desktop,  how do i navigate to it through terminal?
[04:36] <orbin> synchronous: worked?
[04:36] <ubotu> File bind.2.gz found in manpages-de-dev, manpages-dev, manpages-es, manpages-fr-dev, manpages-ja-dev (and 5 others)
[04:36] <ash_> I didnt wana have to setup wine
[04:36] <sudobash> it took me 30-1 hour to figure out
[04:36] <yobrien> !find bind.2.gz  | synchronous
[04:36] <perpetual> Dexterp37, so those are the things to check.
[04:36] <sudobash> it will keep crashing
[04:36] <sudobash> but you can get it to work
[04:36] <ubotu> synchronous: please see above
[04:37] <sudobash> make sure your not reading it from a usb
[04:37] <ash_> Alright... thanks guys :D
[04:37] <sudobash> it will cause wine to crash sometimes
[04:37] <orville> drowner: do you have any files on that drive you want to keep?
[04:37] <perpetual> Dexterp37, normally, of course, some nice gui program does all this for you.
[04:37] <gui_> hi

[04:46] <kaptengu> stefg: thx for your time stefg, /me off to #vmware
[04:46] <drowner> orville: fsck tells me its not a ext2 filesystem. am i not using fsck correctly?
[04:46] <tappaja> dyrne, no such file or directory
[04:47] <dyrne> tappaja: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm    <-- try that
[04:47] <mordredP> orbin thanks anyway
[04:47] <dyrne> tappaja: your on ubuntu right not kubuntu?
[04:47] <mordredP> orbin could it be that the icons are off-screen?
[04:47] <dyrne> e
[04:47] <CactusWiZaRd> how umask 222 affects on using ntfs hard drive?
[04:47] <orville> drowner: fsck.vfat -h
[04:47] <chariot_> Ok.  I don't think Ubuntu has detected my video card.
[04:47] <perpetual> chariot_, I looked, that process table looks ok. So next step: monitor is not switched off because of wrong signal? You can test by going into the menu using the monitor buttons and try to access a menu that displays information on the current resolution and such
[04:47] <tappaja> dyrne, ubuntu
[04:48] <chariot_> perpetual, here's my xorg.conf file.
[04:48] <dyrne> ls /etc/init.d/gdm   should return gdm is that right?
[04:48] <tappaja> dyrne, ok. gdm not installed :d
[04:48] <orbin> mordredP: off-screen?
[04:48] <drowner> orville: the -h is an invalid option
[04:48] <pequatre> salut  tous. je cherche un truc pour faire des captures d'cran de fentre, pas de tout l'cran, donc la touche Imp. cr. ne me sert pas. des ides ? des logiciels ? merci. (Feisty Gnome)
[04:48] <migney> how to use ssh
[04:48] <dyrne> tappaja: heh
[04:48] <chariot_>         Identifier      "Generic Video Card"        Driver          "vesa"        BusID           "PCI:0:2:0"
[04:48] <pequatre> sorry wrong forum
[04:48] <zeroflag> "The following packages have been kept back: [...] " (from apt-get upgrade) how do I fix that?
[04:48] <chariot_> perpetual, could that be a problem?
[04:48] <chariot_> It does detect my monitor but not the display card.
[04:49] <varka> tappaja: edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst find the line # altoptions=(recovery mode) single 3 and change 3 to 5
[04:49] <tritium> zeroflag: with an apt-get dist-upgrade
[04:49] <mordredP> orbin i mean outside the boundaries of my monitor?
[04:49] <perpetual> chariot_, if you have image at some point, how can that be a problem?
[04:49] <orville> drowner: but it shows you the available options right under it :-)
[04:49] <chariot_> perpetual, because the display rendering doesn't feel as smooth as it should.
[04:49] <tritium> !fr > pequatre
[04:49] <please_help> Well now i've already tried #ubuntu-effects but noone there i responding. So here I go again.... I have feisty 64 bit installed and xgl, compiz running on my system. Now my question is how can I run several programs at startup on different workspaces? Is is possible to write a small script in a easy way like that: $ <name_of_program> <option_telling_the_prog_to_start_on_workspaceX> ....
[04:49] <chariot_> and this motherboard is an intel 845g series motherboard
[04:49] <Consty> How can I reduce the area in which activates vertical scrolling for my trackpad on my laptop?  It seems 25% of the right side will activate it, and I'de like to keep it as close to the edge as possible.  Any ideas?
[04:49] <overdark> hello all
[04:50] <nuu> grndslm_: keys are handled through acpi events. those events trigger scripts which are installed by the acpi-support package. take a look under the /etc/acpi tree, it'll all become clearer
[04:50] <tappaja> dyrne, I installed gdm. need to reboot X
[04:50] <chariot_> how do i get more informatio about my hardware, perpetual?
[04:50] <drowner> orville: i got this: dosfsck 2.11, 12 Mar 2005, FAT32, LFN Currently, only 1 or 2 FATs are supported, not 191.
[04:50] <perpetual> chariot_, it maybe is not entirely correct, but that does not explain the screen going completely black. That is the problem you want to solve right now, right? Not slow rendering?
[04:50] <kronus_> Hi, I'm having trouble getting a cd-rom drive recognized by ubuntu
[04:50] <chariot_> perpetual, yes
[04:50] <chariot_> I thought may be both are related.
[04:50] <orville> drowner: what command did you run?
[04:50] <grndslm_> nuu:  i get it, but i don't know what to put after event=hkey...how do i find the value of a specific button??
[04:50] <perpetual> chariot_, lspci is your friend
[04:50] <chariot_> ok
[04:50] <orbin> mordredP: well you can't afaik move icons so far that they are effectively hidden, and unless you are seeing other things getting cut off, i don't think that'd be it.
[04:51] <chariot_> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G] /GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03)
[04:51] <drowner> orville: fsck.vfat /dev/sdc
[04:51] <overdark> I installed Kubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) yesterday, ran it, went fine. Today i booted it, restarted, booted Windows XP, reboored again, then error. Error 17 at booting sequence 1.5. I read about it, it says something about typing "fdisk -l" in the terminal. Nothing showed up. Any help please?
[04:51] <grndslm_> nuu:  i've tried acpi_listen, but it doesn't show anything for the brightness key, and certainly nothing that looks like it belongs in those files under /etc
[04:51] <orbin> mordredP: there's probably something simple i missed. try asking in #gnome
[04:51] <nuu> grndslm_: did you check to see if there are events under /etc/acpi/events that match your laptop brightness keys ?
[04:51] <kronus_> basically, the install disc doesn't run, and the old OS (older version of ubuntu) doesn't see the cd drive
[04:51] <perpetual> chariot_, possible, but I need to know if your monitor is not just switching itself off. That would explain the blackness
[04:51] <orbin> mordredP: or your distro's channel
[04:51] <kronus_> i've tried dmesg, lspci, and none list the cd drive as being there
[04:51] <chariot_> perpetual, ok.  the led is on when the screen goes blank.
[04:52] <kronus_> it's a 2-3 year old Mad Dog CDRW drive
[04:52] <grndslm_> nuu:  yes, for brightness, but i'm assuming that the key is mis-mapped or something
[04:52] <perpetual> chariot_, so I need those frequencies you can find in the monitor menus
[04:52] <nuu> grndslm_: what laptop ?
[04:52] <chariot_> ok
[04:52] <grndslm_> asus z35f
[04:52] <orville> drowner: looks like fsck isn't going to work then
[04:53] <chariot_> monitor menus?
[04:53] <orbin> overdark: that command requires a sudo in front i think.
[04:53] <orville> drowner: try fsck.vfat -V /dev/DRIVE to see what happens
[04:53] <perpetual> chariot_, example, my monitor has a menu button, if you push it, a menu comes up
[04:53] <overdark> orbin: thanks, I'll try it now
[04:53] <please_help> anyone here who know howto write a start-up script?
[04:53] <chariot_> oh ok
[04:53] <perpetual> chariot_, to center the image, etc.
[04:53] <LjL> please_help: you mean an /etc/init.d script?
[04:53] <drowner> orville: exactly the same. 191 not supported
[04:53] <please_help> no
[04:54] <please_help> i want to start a graphical prog
[04:54] <please_help> on my x server
[04:54] <please_help> on display 2
[04:54] <overdark> worked; now what do I do? :)
[04:54] <dr_willis> please_help,   you have 2 X servers running?
[04:54] <perpetual> chariot_, if that works, and you see some sane resolution there, you excluded yet another possible cause
[04:54] <LjL> please_help: uh... export DISPLAY=:2    programname?
[04:54] <grndslm_> nuu:  ahh, i guess there isn't a script for asus lappies
[04:54] <orville> drowner: now you have the answer to your question  :-)
[04:54] <please_help> no just xgl
[04:55] <please_help> xmms=prog
[04:55] <nuu> grndslm_: yeah that's what i was noticing too, no asus-brightness sort of script :\
[04:55] <chariot_> yeah.  i see 1280x1024 / 61 Hz there too
[04:55] <Maverick> okay gujys, i wanna wipe my hard drive completely, reinstall ubuntu, and start all ova. How would i do this?
[04:55] <chariot_> the same setting as that set in ubuntu
[04:55] <orbin> overdark: well it just lists the partitions on the drive.  what did the error fix say to do besides that?
[04:55] <drowner> orville: I'm not sure i do have the answer: i tried it with sdc1 (rather than sdc) and its doing something
[04:55] <overdark> note: i read that i have to type grub-install /dev/hda. i typed that with sudo and front and got: Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device.
[04:55] <dr_willis> please_help,  you mean start a program onthe second virtual desktop?
[04:55] <perpetual> chariot_, do you have a tft monitor? The resolution and refresh rate suggests that
[04:55] <please_help> sorry i don'T want it to run on an other display... i want to runi t on an other workspace
[04:56] <Maverick> how do i wipe my entire hardrive?
[04:56] <chariot_> no this is a crt
[04:56] <stefg> overdark: try sda instead of hda
[04:56] <overdark> okay i'll try
[04:56] <SudoBash> Maverick
[04:56] <Maverick> yes
[04:56] <SudoBash> use Gutman format
[04:56] <SudoBash> hehe
[04:56] <overdark> Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device.
[04:56] <SudoBash> gutmann
[04:56] <nuu> hm grndslm_: you may try monitoring /var/log/acpid to see if anything pops up when you hit your brightness keys
[04:56] <chariot_> this one is an lg flatron E700SH monitor
[04:56] <overdark> all partitions are hda's :)
[04:56] <SudoBash> Low Level Format
[04:56] <SudoBash> then you need to partition it
[04:57] <PseudoP1acebo> If I have a server edition of Ubuntu installed, how would I go about installing GNOME so I could use it as a desktop- I apt-get install'd GNOME and it worked fine, but I'm not sure how to start it or any of that.
[04:57] <perpetual> chariot_, then 61 Hz is quite low. You should try to get it higher.
[04:57] <nuu> grndslm_: you could then write your own script matching those key codes, starting from the volume keys scripts, and modifying them
[04:57] <drowner> orville: it said 'truncating file to xxx bytes and now its stopped.
[04:57] <chariot_> it doesn't support any more than that in the screen resolutio ndialog
[04:57] <drowner> orville: i think i have to reformat the badboy.
[04:57] <Maverick> all i want, is for every single thing to be tyaken off my hardrive, so i have as much space as possible, then i will reinstall ubuntu
[04:57] <chariot_> probably because the display driver has not been detected?
[04:57] <grndslm_> nuu:  thanks, will try!
[04:57] <leagris> PseudoP1acebo, install ubuntu-desktop
[04:57] <PseudoP1acebo> leagris: That's it?
[04:57] <orville> drowner: have at it.
[04:57] <mbutUbuntu01> ragazzi per ora non sta dando problemi ubuntustudio
[04:57] <mbutUbuntu01> stranissimo
[04:57] <drowner> orville: at least my music is on my ipod, so all is not entirely lost.
[04:57] <perpetual> chariot_, the way to do this is to put HorizSync and VertRefresh lines in the Monitor section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:57] <LjL> !it | mbutUbuntu01
[04:57] <ubotu> mbutUbuntu01: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[04:57] <mbutUbuntu01> dite che sono stati gli upgrade??
[04:57] <SudoBash> Gutmann is the best format in the world
[04:57] <nuu> np grndslm_, good luck
[04:57] <SudoBash> thats free
[04:58] <stefg> overdark: ?? so the drive is partitioned and ubuntu is installed?
[04:58] <chariot_> perpetual, hmm...
[04:58] <Maverick> isnt there a terminal commend?
[04:58] <overdark> stefg: yes
[04:58] <mbutUbuntu01> sorry I thought that it was the it channel.... :-D
[04:58] <leagris> PseudoP1acebo, yes, a meta-package that depend on all required/usefull desktop applications, gnome, xorg...
[04:58] <mbutUbuntu01> I have many channels opened
[04:58] <mbutUbuntu01> :-D
[04:58] <overdark> stefg:  both ubuntu and windows xp
[04:58] <chariot_> ah it doesn't contain those lines.
[04:58] <perpetual> chariot_, what kind of monitor is it?
[04:58] <chariot_> how do i find out the refresh rates?
[04:58] <sincero> nuu: it's working now
[04:58] <stefg> overdark: what does sudo fdisk -l tell you? (use pastebin)
[04:58] <chariot_> Section "Monitor"        Identifier      "T710BH"        Option          "DPMS" EndSection
[04:58] <Jack3_> how do i check if i have a sata drive???
[04:58] <drowner> orville: whats your final diagnosis? drive corrupted? I blame windows
[04:59] <nuu> sincero: what was wrong ?
[04:59] <perpetual> chariot_, is it a Dell?
[04:59] <sincero> nuu: problem was i didn't restart system
[04:59] <overdark> evice Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System

[04:59] <nuu> !paste | overdark
[04:59] <perpetual> chariot_, what is the size?
[04:59] <chariot_> 17 inches
[04:59] <overdark> I hope that was not some spam.
[04:59] <leagris> Maverick, sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/yourharddrivedevice
[04:59] <ubotu> overdark: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[04:59] <orville> drowner: my final diagnosis is that drive is screwed.
[04:59] <LjL> overdark: it quite was
[04:59] <Maverick> can anyone tell me how i can wipe my HD please
[04:59] <overdark> oh well
[05:00] <overdark> I'll take that into account for the next time
[05:00] <perpetual> chariot_, then 1280x1024 is too high, I think.
[05:00] <drowner> orville: heh. fsck is doing something. I told it to correct everything. Lets see what happens. I still blame windows.
[05:00] <sincero> nuu: thanks for help anyway
[05:00] <nuu> sincero: you dont need to restart a system in order to get an fstab entry to work
[05:00] <ZeZu> Maverick, dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/whatever [option for drive size here] 
[05:00] <chariot_> perpetual, yeah.
[05:00] <nuu> sincero: you just need to mount the partition
[05:00] <chariot_> that's the default.
[05:00] <chariot_> i switched back to 1025x768
[05:00] <SudoBash> Maverick get a low level formatt boot loader..... a cd that will do it for you
[05:00] <Maverick> okay
[05:00] <SudoBash> boot to the cd like you would ubuntu live cd
[05:00] <Tom47> Maverick use gparted in a livecd
[05:00] <SudoBash> and it will do it
[05:00] <please_help> I want to start an application on desktop2 @ startup. Anyone know howto do this? what I'd need to type into the shell? that'd be enough already? I am running feisty 64bit with gnome as window manager... I've XGL with compiz installed...
[05:00] <Jack3_> how do i tell if I have a sata drive?
[05:01] <djsgorby> hi
[05:01] <ZeZu> Maverick, there are much more advancted techniques, if you want it really "wiped"
[05:01] <nuu> sincero: the point behind fstab is of course that 1) it'll be mounted automatically on restart, and 2) you don't need to remember details about something if you want to umount/remount it, you just pass mount the mountpoint, and it fetches the relevant info off the fstab file
[05:01] <SudoBash> yeah i use Geek Squad MRI Darik Boot And Nuke
[05:01] <chariot_> i found this on the net:  http://rafb.net/p/x4eIFH47.html
[05:01] <chariot_> err
[05:01] <perpetual> chariot_, try changing the lines somewhere at the bottom of xorg.conf in the Screen section
[05:01] <chariot_> I have a LG Flatron E700SH with standard frequency ranges (30-71 kHz horizontal and 50-160 kHz vertical).
[05:01] <SudoBash> its lame but it has Gutmann Format on it
[05:01] <Maverick> i just want all the old windows stuff off of here
[05:01] <dr_willis> please_help,  thats often a feature of the windowmanager/desktop to handle stuff like that.. some have a 'rember desktop' feauture.
[05:01] <chariot_> how do i add those to xorg.conf?
[05:01] <leagris> Maverick, boot the LiveUbnutu CD, open a command line then sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/harddrivedevice
[05:01] <overdark> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22310/plain/ - there you go.
[05:01] <SudoBash> yeah that works better
[05:01] <Maverick> okay ty guys
[05:01] <nuu> sincero: so i guess you had it right from the beginning, just didnt realize you did ;)
[05:01] <chariot_> perpetual, Modes           "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480"
[05:01] <SudoBash> ubuntu rocks
[05:01] <please_help> it always carashes if i remember the settings
[05:01] <Tom47> Maverick if its a separate disk then gparted is yr friemd
[05:01] <FutureMarine> When I try to install xubuntu I get an error, the first error was from the floppy saying it couldnt read it then I hooked it up and now its the hd, I have ubuntu version 5.04 on it and I dont know if I have to compeltly erase the hd then install?
[05:01] <stefg> overdark: hmmm... does  'sudo update-grub' give any results?
[05:02] <perpetual> chariot_, there is a Subsection "Display", and probably a list of resolutions
[05:02] <sincero> i did, but this protecular partiton was mounted even before, but wrong way. i mounted once more right, but it didn't work till i restarted
[05:02] <dbrewer_rjr> i am configuring an ibm server for lamp with feisty. the raid 5 array is 1 terabyte. can the install program partition that size into one partition? that is what the owner has asked for.
[05:02] <chariot_> perpetual, yeah.
[05:02] <overdark> Could not find /boot/grub/menu.lst file. Would you like /boot/grub/menu.lst generated for you? (y/N)
[05:02] <chariot_> I just pasted those
[05:02] <perpetual> chariot_, good, you found it. Remove the "1280x1024" entries, but leave the rest of the line intact
[05:02] <sincero> nuu: does it make any sence to you
[05:02] <bobrik> Hi, where does feisty store core dumps (I did enable limit -c unlimited, I did search Google, I looked in /var and /tmp and $HOME and pwd)
[05:02] <chariot_> perpetual, ok.
[05:03] <kitche> bobrik: usually in ~/ it might be hiddent
[05:03] <stefg> overdark: so if you is there a /boot/grub menu.lst in your install?
[05:03] <zsh> i just added a new nic to my box, how do i activate it
[05:03] <please_help> dr_willis... do you know where gnome saves the settings if i let it remember the settings?
[05:03] <nuu> sincero: to be honest, nope. if a partition is mounted correctly, then you can access it. you dont need a reboot to make it work
[05:03] <stefg> overdark: so  is there a /boot/grub menu.lst in your install?
[05:03] <overdark> Could not find it.
[05:03] <overdark> It asks me if I want it to be generated.
[05:03] <stefg> overdark: then your install is seriously broken...
[05:03] <perpetual> chariot_, that way you get slightly lower res, but higher refresh. And who knows, that might have caused the blackness
[05:04] <dr_willis> please_help,  nope.  I rarelyu use gnome.. and if you are using that glx stuff. it may not even have that feature
[05:04] <overdark> stefg: what to do then?
[05:04] <chariot_> ok i'll try rebooting now.
[05:04] <chariot_> or just restart xorg
[05:04] <ruSh[A] > hiho
[05:04] <FutureMarine> I am trying to install xubuntu onto my laptop, is there a laptop version? I get errors and the first one was the floppy because I didnt have it connected, then now its the hd and I have ubuntu version 5.04 on it. Do I need to completly erase the hd
[05:04] <dbrewer_rjr> i am configuring an ibm server for lamp with feisty. the raid 5 array is 1 terabyte. can the install program partition that size into one partition? that is what the owner has asked for.
[05:04] <sincero> nuu: the partition was mounted to mnt not media, and i could acces it but not write
[05:04] <stefg> overdark: what did you do last?... if it's a fresh install, i'd suggest to do new install, this might be only the top of an iceberg
[05:05] <perpetual> overdark, try dpkg-reconfigure grub
[05:05] <Jeax> hey
[05:05] <nuu> the mountpoint is ininfluent, as far as it's not under a directory your user can't reach (/mnt not being the case). it's the mount options that matter
[05:05] <mh_le> how does one set a service to start at specific runlevels?
[05:05] <drowner> orville: thanks for the help. i appreciate it
[05:05] <overdark> stefg: I installed ubuntu yesterday, on a new partition (I mean, two new partitions, one for Linux itself and one for swap)
[05:05] <nuu> mh_le: man update-rc.d
[05:05] <overdark> perpetual: with sudo in front, right? :)
[05:06] <stefg> overdark: something went wrong... reinstall
[05:06] <Jeax> is there any way to brighten your screen on ubuntu? I have an old monitor that's far too dark. On windows i used to use an application called PowerStrip but of course it won't run.
[05:06] <overdark> stefg: reinstall ubuntu or windows?
[05:06] <stefg> overdark: ubunbtu
[05:07] <perpetual> overdark, well I always do sudo su - to get root
[05:07] <Heag> http://www.bittibuumi.com/index.php?menu=f&ubuntu=1 :D
[05:07] <Serge_K> hi everyone
[05:07] <FutureMarine> What xubuntu would you guys suggest for my laptop
[05:07] <FutureMarine> ?
[05:07] <stefg> overdark: reinstall will take 30 min. troubleshooting 2 hrs.... a question of time economy
[05:07] <overdark> /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure must be run as root
[05:07] <LjL> perpetual: why not sudo -i?
[05:07] <overdark> That's what it tells me.
[05:07] <orville> drowner: you're welcome :-0
[05:08] <orville> s/0/)
[05:08] <LjL> overdark: it most certainly has to be run as root
[05:08] <perpetual> LjL, because, eh I don't know what that does
[05:08] <ChiefT> i'm trying to print from ubuntu to a canon mfp shared from a w2k AD domain controller. the job briefly appears in the windows server's spool window as status 'spooling' then disappears without printing. any ideas?
[05:08] <mh_le> how to change the default runlevel?
[05:08] <LjL> perpetual: basically the same as sudo su -, except without the pointless redundancy
[05:08] <leagris> gnome-panel crash with xpengouin applet in Feisty, has anyone tryed this ?
[05:08] <overdark> root@ubuntu:~# dpkg-reconfigure grub did not say anything
[05:08] <overdark> Nor with sudo in front
[05:08] <JennyDeafx74> hi i have a BearPaw 2400TA Scanner, and cannot get it reconized
[05:08] <dbrewer_rjr> i am configuring an ibm server for lamp with feisty. the raid 5 array is 1 terabyte. can the install program partition that size into one partition? that is what the owner has asked for.
[05:09] <wardyx> anyone using libnss-pgsql for their user authentication?
[05:09] <JennyDeafx74> !scanners
[05:09] <ubotu> Scanning software: XSane, the gimp, Kooka. For instructions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ScanningHowTo and to see supported hardware: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsScanners
[05:09] <leagris> gnome-panel:17881): Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_widget_size_allocate(): attempt to allocate widget with width -3 and height 26
[05:09] <LjL> overdark, putting sudo in front is the same as being root. it doesn't say anything because it's not supposed to. what was the problem?
[05:10] <dbrewer_rjr> Can feisty put 1 terabyte into a partition?
[05:10] <overdark> Like I said, i installed ubuntu on a new partition. I had winXP installed previously. After booting winXP, and then restarting, i got error 17 @ bootlevel 1.5.
[05:10] <slim> I was wondering how to compress a folder to .zip and not tar.gz
[05:10] <stefg> LjL: no menu.list ... and if that's not there think there's more missing :-\
[05:10] <perpetual> LjL, true, but sudo su - is a logical concatenation of two simple to remember commands, while remembering -i implies remembering a lot of the other options of sudo as well. -i is already in my mind when using grep, and lot's off other commands.
[05:10] <chariot_> perpetual, yes, it was the resolution.
[05:10] <Tom47> overdark try a reboot now .. if that fails then a reinstall is prob a good idea as LjL said
[05:10] <perpetual> chariot_, so the blackness is gone?
[05:11] <zsh> hi. how do i install another nic card in ubuntu?
[05:11] <overdark> okay I will... I'll tell you if it works (or not)
[05:11] <chariot_> yeah the blackness is gone
[05:11] <chariot_> :)
[05:11] <JennyDeafx74> !cardreader
[05:11] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cardreader - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:11] <zsh> its plugged in and the light is on but i cant find it in the networking dialog
[05:11] <slim> ! zip
[05:11] <ubotu> Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression
[05:11] <chariot_> Thanks a lot perpetual
[05:11] <chariot_> :)
[05:11] <LjL> perpetual: it's like doing  cat filename | cat  (except cat doesn't have security concerns)
[05:12] <chariot_> perpetual, how do I get it to install the proper driver.  I was hoping I could get desktop effects to work.
[05:12] <nuu> dbrewer_rjr: why don't you try it ? you can't harm the underlying hw raid array anyway
[05:12] <chariot_> I have seen it working on other Intel 845gl systems
[05:12] <LjL> stefg: has he done update-grub in the end or not?
[05:12] <LjL> Tom47, i never said a reinstall was a good idea...
[05:12] <zsh> perpetual: do you have an idea on how i can do this
[05:12] <sincero> nuu: so what i think that happend: i booted partition in mnt without write acces after i rewrite fstab to boot this partition from media with write acces. but it didn't start to work corectly till i reboot system..... does it make any sence now?.
[05:12] <LjL> i don't think it is, at all
[05:12] <stefg> LjL: yeah... no /boot-dir, no menu.lst -> fubar
[05:12] <nuu> dbrewer_rjr: worst case scenario, you'll split that terabyte into smaller chunks, and lvm it all up
[05:12] <LjL> stefg: any idea why?
[05:13] <perpetual> chariot_, for the other thing, the rendering, you should check out the device section, the screen section and the server-layout section
[05:13] <stefg> LjL: if he got error 17 before.... not precisely, but that's crying for a reinstall
[05:13] <Tom47> LjL sorry .... wrong finger ... it was stefg
[05:13] <nuu> sincero: yeah, it now makes sense. you could've gotten it to work with one simple command though, instead of a reboot. that is, mount -o remount /dev/whatever
[05:14] <chariot_> perpetual, should I paste the xorg.conf file?
[05:14] <perpetual> chariot_, I need to go, but you figure out what card you have, look up at the xorg site which driver to put in the device section
[05:14] <chariot_> sure :)
[05:14] <brk3> hi, does anyone know how to make it so ubuntu can play 2 sounds at once? i hate having to stop amarok or something to just play a youtube video..
[05:14] <chariot_> thanks a lot perpetual :)  *hugs*
[05:14] <dbrewer_rjr> nuu: looks like it worked, but it took about 45 mins
[05:15] <brk3> theres a guide on ubuntuforums but its over 3 years old and doesnt seem the best solution
[05:15] <dbrewer_rjr> nuu: thx
[05:15] <sincero> nuu: 'all right i write it down. thanks.
[05:15] <nuu> dbrewer_rjr: np
[05:15] <nuu> sincero: np
[05:15] <perpetual> chariot_, thanks
[05:15] <riaal_> I have a serious problem, when I perss ALT+CTRL+F1 to enter a terminal (any terminal) my monitor shuts down and the keyboard stop working. The ubuntu loading screen (when booting up) looks relly strange to.. It has not always ben like this :S any guesses?
[05:15] <patryk_> join wawa
[05:16] <Phantomse> Hi
[05:16] <overdark> hello again
[05:16] <overdark> it did not work, I'll try a reinstall
[05:16] <nuu> riaal_: newly installed video drivers ?
[05:16] <riaal_> nuu, nope, nothing like that
[05:16] <chariot_> can i install the xserver-xorg-driver-i810 driver for my intel 845g/gl graphics card?
[05:17] <Serge_K> riaal_: F1 is the terminal which started X.. use F2, F3 so on
[05:17] <overdark> should I install on the same partitions as before?
[05:17] <belfegor> !p2p
[05:17] <ubotu> Conventional P2P clients: Limewire/GTK-Gnutella/Frostwire (Gnutella Network).  -  BitTorrent: see !torrent  -  Direct connect: try valknut.  -  Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/P2PFileSharing for general information.
[05:17] <chariot_> oh it's already installed, but it doesn't reflect in the xorg.conf file.
[05:18] <getit> hi,does anyone know how to get 3d on a p4m900 graphic?
[05:18] <riaal_> Serge_K, same problem
[05:18] <Tom47> overdark thats what i would do
[05:18] <overdark> ah damn thing, I can't put my old linux partition on "/"
[05:19] <overdark> it's on "ext3" and it's unchangeable
[05:19] <Serge_K> riaal_: I mean F1 is busy already... use F2...F6 instead to get a console
[05:19] <bobrik> kitche: thanks for your tip, I did not find my core dump; is there anything else than doing "ulimit -c unlimited" as a regular user to generate core dumps?
[05:19] <overdark> probably delete partition would work
[05:19] <getit> please help
[05:19] <kitche> bobrik: not a clue I jsut let core dumps happen
[05:20] <blackjackel> I need a copy of the windows 2000 master boot record that ubuntu wrote over with grub, is there any way to get that?
[05:20] <getit> i need acceleration 3d ..i got a p4m900 graphic
[05:20] <Serge_K> riaal_: but sorry I use debian, not Ubuntu
[05:20] <shawn34> Im thinking of buying a new computer, anyone know if certain brands are more compatible than others? like compaq, hp, gateway?
[05:20] <riaal_> Serge_K, thats not the probem anyway, it has woked before
[05:20] <Tom47> getit maybe you could try the "ubuntu-effects channel if you get no useful input here
[05:20] <riaal_> worked*
[05:21] <overdark> ahh i was wrong, ext3 has nothing to do with mount points :D my bad
[05:21] <nuu> shawn34: check ubuntu.com, and see what brand tshirt one of the guys in the picture is wearing
[05:21] <nuu> ;)
[05:21] <Phantomse> Hi. My problem is with my integrated soundcard VIA VT 1708. Do i have to install a specific driver?
[05:21] <Phantomse> Can somebody help me.
[05:22] <belfegor> how can i upgrade to feisty?
[05:22] <shawn34> null, i figured that but i was thinking of buying one from a local store today lol. pretty much i have a choice between acer, hp, compaq and gateway
[05:22] <belfegor> what is the command for this?
[05:22] <bobrik> belfegor: what are you using right now?
[05:22] <nuu> !upgrade
[05:22] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[05:23] <riaal_> I have a serious problem, when I perss ALT+CTRL+F1 to enter a terminal (any terminal) my monitor shuts down and the keyboard stop working. The ubuntu loading screen (when booting up) looks relly strange to.. It has not always ben like this :S any guesses?
[05:23] <belfegor> edgy
[05:23] <wardyx> anyone using libnss-pgsql for their user authentication?
[05:23] <astinus-work> Right, this is going to sound odd, but are there any binaries kicking about for debootstrap which I could use to install Ubuntu Dapper from within a Gentoo LiveCD environment?
[05:23] <Jeax> How can i brighten my screen? It's too dark (Crappy old monitor)
[05:23] <nuu> !upgrade | belfegor

[05:23] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bootstrap - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:23] <bobrik> belfegor: use the following link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[05:23] <ralex> what is centos?
[05:23] <belfegor> ok thanks
[05:24] <nuu> a distro
[05:24] <kitche> !debootstrap | astinus-work
[05:24] <ubotu> astinus-work: debootstrap is used to create a !Debian or Ubuntu base system from scratch, without requiring the availability of !dpkg or !APT. It does this by downloading !.deb files from a mirror site, and carefully unpacking them into a directory you can eventually !chroot into.
[05:24] <ralex> oh
[05:24] <Tom47> ralex check it out in distrowatch.com
[05:24] <overdark> what should the boot loader installation device be?
[05:24] <overdark> the default is hd0
[05:24] <ralex> thanks Tom47, checking :D
[05:24] <shawn34> null, what about between acer, hp, compaq and gateway. have any ideas? I have a compaq laptop and everything works well
[05:24] <jonah> hey guys, i've got a folder of files that need setting to my user group that currently have padlocks on them, is there a command i can use to batch change them all to my user?? i copied them from a cd and permissions are very strange
[05:24] <astinus-work> kitche: Yes, please read what I wrote. I know all about debootstrap, I wanted to know if it's going to be easy to get that fired up on a Gentoo LiveCD.
[05:25] <t3hwiz0rd> crimsun: can i borrow your attention?
[05:25] <kitche> astinus-work: read what it says extract the packages to do it
[05:25] <Serge_K> riaal_: sorry I dont use graphical boot, neither KDM/GDM etc... I boot into text console on terminal #1 (F1) and do startx...:)
[05:25] <astinus-work> kitche: Ah, yes, but I need the debootstrap binary since a LiveCD won't ship with it...
[05:25] <DShepherd> I want to put a bunch of avi files into one movie... what app can I use to do this?
[05:26] <techjim> Quick q:  when I remove a package, sometimes a list comes up listing packages that were installed and no longer needed.  How does ubuntu tell? Dependencies?  Is it wise to autoremove?
[05:26] <nuu> shawn34: don't get me wrong, i dont want to sound like those i-know-it-all guys, but personally i assemble my own boxes from parts i pick, so i don't know jack about pre-configured PCs and what brand X mounts in model Y
[05:26] <overdark> DShepherd: I would have said windows movie maker if we weren't on an ubuntu help channel :)
[05:26] <stefg> DShepherd: avidemux
[05:26] <riaal_> Serge_K, can't access the terminal att all =/
[05:26] <dr_willis> using  avidemux  right now.. can it merge movies? never noticed that feature.
[05:26] <stefg> !info avidemux | DShepherd
[05:26] <DShepherd> overdark, hehe... hhe
[05:26] <ubotu> dshepherd: avidemux: a small editing software for avi (especially DivX). In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1:2.3.0-0.0ubuntu3 (feisty), package size 3270 kB, installed size 8256 kB
[05:27] <DShepherd> stefg, so you have used it before/?
[05:27] <stefg> dr_willis: it can append
[05:27] <sahil> hey, does anyone know how to get a proper mac like dock in ubuntu
[05:27] <DShepherd> sahil, define proper..
[05:27] <sahil> where the icons enlarge when the mouse hovers over them
[05:27] <sahil> lol
[05:27] <stefg> !gnome-dock | sahil
[05:27] <ubotu> sahil: gnome-dock is a MacOS X -like dock for the gnome desktop, see www.gnome-dock.org
[05:28] <sahil> im on that site now
[05:28] <sahil> but how do i download it
[05:28] <sahil> there is no button
[05:28] <nuu> shawn34: looks like Dell is making steps forward towards the ubuntu deal (that's why i told you to look at the picture on ubuntu.com), so i'd keep an eye out for that
[05:28] <dr_willis> stefg,  just been using it to convert video to my portable player. :)

[05:29] <dr_willis> techjim,  i tend to let it autoremove
[05:29] <defrysk> techjim, probably dependency tagged packages

[05:30] <sahil> zero that problem happens with me too
[05:30] <jonah> hey guys, i've got a folder of files that need setting to my user group that currently have padlocks on them, is there a command i can use to batch change them all to my user?? i copied them from a cd and permissions are very strange...
[05:30] <techjim> defrysk; dr_willis: it seems like a good idea but their are like 20 progs that came with screenlets.  I guess it's safe.
[05:30] <dr_willis> overdark,  wubi? never heard of it.
[05:30] <zero> sahil: really, and what did you do?
[05:30] <t3hwiz0rd> ive seen that guide to sound before, and it didn't work

[05:30] <Phantomse> Can somebody help me.
[05:30] <nuu> jonah: sudo chown -R youruser:yourgroup /path/to/dir
[05:30] <sahil> zero, nothing, lol, there is nothing you can do. It is very graphics and processor intensive
[05:30] <LjL> techjim, defrysk it's packages that were no installed *explicitly* by the user, but were installed automatically because they were dependencies of something else; and now there is nothing installed anymore that depends on them
[05:30] <overdark> dr_willis: it's a kind of an app that lets you install a linux distro letting your windows untouched "like a virgin"
[05:31] <eriklover> i am green to ubuntu
[05:31] <sahil> zero, i just removed the minimize/unminimize and close window effects

[05:31] <stefg> !intelhda | Phantomse
[05:31] <ubotu> Phantomse: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[05:31] <Phantomse> ?
[05:32] <techjim> LjL: Thanks for clarification.  I had that assumption, I just wasn't sure how wise it was to uninstall.  Thanks
[05:32] <defrysk> LjL, only flaw is that when you apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop for example , the whole gnome desktop packageset is slated for autoremove
[05:32] <dr_willis> overdark,  sounds like somthing thats not real usefull to me. :)   most all the disrto installers these days do that job bery well
[05:32] <overdark> dr_willis: well this one didn't do it for me
[05:32] <defrysk> LjL, and that is overkill imho
[05:32] <zero> sahil: i have 1gb ram, 64 mb video ati, and 2.13 centrino with l2 cache memory 2mb
[05:32] <LjL> defrysk: yeppers
[05:32] <deloun> hi, if i import a user account from another distro with the feisty installer, will i still be able to use that same account from the distro from which is imported?
[05:32] <overdark> otherwise i wouldn't have asked for help in here
[05:32] <zero> sahil: it should work well i think
[05:32] <overdark> deloun: of course :D
[05:32] <sahil> zero, i have 1 gig ram, 1.73 centrino, with 256 MB of dedicated graphics
[05:32] <digital_k> zero:with one gig of ram , you dont really need swap.
[05:33] <techjim> LjL; defrysk: thanks for help, i'm freeing up 42mb
[05:33] <overdark> i have 1gb of ram too
[05:33] <LjL> defrysk: well, on the other hand it allows you to try out big metapackages (such as ubuntu-desktop if you're on kubuntu, or kubuntu-desktop if you're on ubuntu) knowing that you can later remove them with a single command
[05:33] <zero> sahil: and it doesnt works well?
[05:33] <CarinArr> depends what you do
[05:33] <digital_k> my laptop has only 768 mbs memory and i have swap turned off.
[05:33] <digital_k> runs fine
[05:33] <sahil> zero,it works well, not great
[05:33] <Neil-> my video on here is awful.. how can I start again? .asx files wont play, and I cant do real either
[05:33] <Neil-> bit annoying
[05:33] <zero> digital_k: but im consuming the 74% of the memory...
[05:33] <CarinArr> i have 2gb of ram and 2gb of swap.. don't use the swap often but it's nice it being there if you have plenty of space hd wise anyway
[05:33] <digital_k> zero: what are you running?
[05:33] <digital_k> lol
[05:33] <zero> digital_k: beryl
[05:33] <CarinArr> i run some quite memory heavy stuff so when i do it's handy
[05:34] <defrysk> LjL, true but an option like "would you like to slate gnome-desktop for autoremove?"might come in handy
[05:34] <zero> sahil: so what do you need to run beryl great?
[05:34] <digital_k> is beryl officially supported by ubuntu?
[05:34] <sahil> zero, its very graphics and processor intensive and even more with effect and if you run a lot of programs.
[05:34] <zero> sahil: the ppl on #ubuntu-effects told me i just needed 34 mb graphics, and 512 ram
[05:35] <SlimeyPete> digital_k: no... only Compiz is. However, beryl and compiz are merging, so presumably in the future their offspring will be supported.
[05:35] <sahil> zero, that's just what you need for it to work
[05:35] <kitche> SlimeyPete: their offspring is called compiz :)
[05:35] <deloun> overdark: well this feature is new and i'm a bit scared that it will cause the user account to not be accesible from the distro from which is imported, did you use it yourself with succes?or anyone else experiences with it?
[05:35] <SlimeyPete> kitche: well, indeed
[05:35] <sahil> zero, for windows vista you need only 512MB of ram but Dell recommends 2 gigs
[05:35] <CarinArr> sahil, i have 512 mb graphics and 2gb ram and the minimise/unminimise things in beryl still look a bit crap i think.. apart from that everything else is very nice though

[05:36] <CarinArr> vista uses 600MB after a clean boot for me
[05:36] <ian13> the file browser seems to dislike my FAT32 partition in that when a folder or file name contains ALLCAPS, it shows the name without any caps. Any way to stop this behaviour?
[05:36] <digital_k> you can try to run vista on 512, all you get is vista classic tho
[05:36] <digital_k> no eyecandy
[05:36] <digital_k> it autoscales
[05:36] <sahil> CarinArr its not baout how it looks, just how it functions, smooth or stally
[05:36] <jonah> nuu, thanks a lot man that's done it
[05:36] <Serge_K_> wll mostly not the processor, but GLX support with your video card
[05:36] <CarinArr> i'm not sure the eyecandy in vista is that ... candy-ish tho;)
[05:36] <zero> sahil: ohh, windows vista, well i don't feel like using vista
[05:36] <sahil> CarinArr, its sux
[05:36] <digital_k> vista also needs pixelshader in hardware, and i dont even know what that is....lol
[05:36] <sahil> zero, vista sux
[05:36] <digital_k> thats OT tho....moving on
[05:37] <sahil> i have vista just for some app testing
[05:37] <CarinArr> sahil: that's what i mean, the minimise/unminimise still look stally (at least a few of them). everything else is smooth as can be
[05:37] <zero> sahil: i've heard that, not sure why
[05:37] <sahil> CarinArr whats your processor?
[05:37] <Neil-> my video on here is awful.. how can I start again? .asx files wont play, and I cant do real either
[05:37] <Neil-> bit annoying
[05:37] <deloun> well anyway i think it's better to make a new user account which was my first intention so i' ll go with that

[05:39] <nostferka> Any one here worked with dell getting ubuntu onto their laptops?
[05:39] <zero> sahil: if im using more thatn 70% of my memory, this should use more of swap doesnt it?
[05:39] <defrysk> LjL, hmmm :s
[05:39] <CarinArr> sahil: core 2 duo 7200
[05:39] <Tr1ckY> hey
[05:39] <kitche> nostferka: they are starting to sell laptops with ubuntu starting in about 2 hours though :)
[05:39] <sahil> swap is hard drive while ur normal ram is much faster
[05:39] <Danaman5> I put items into the session manager to start on startup, but they still don't start, what should I do?
[05:40] <kitche> nostferka: but yet I don' own a laptop so I can't help you really
[05:40] <Jack_Sparrow> nostferka, I have Ub on a Dell
[05:40] <zero> sahil: yeah i know it's faster, but swap helps to free some space of my memory

[05:41] <sahil> zero,im not a fan of swap, but its better than nothing
[05:41] <leagris> digital_k, pixelshader describe a way of shading 3D surface using pixel textures. Shadows can be precomputerized and plotted on a picture (pixel shadow map) then the 3D hardware is able to apply the shading effect according to that pixel map to the 3D surfaces. Without pixel shaders, you have to ressort to vertex shaders (older gen of 3D chips) or to compute and mix shadows and textures beforhand and provide huge amount of pr
[05:41] <leagris> ecomputerized textures.
[05:41] <dr_willis> ian13,  check the fstab and mount options. ive never heard of it doing that befor.
[05:41] <nabilm> como tillama
[05:41] <zero> sahil: yeah it's better than nothing, but my computer is using exactly nothing of swap
[05:42] <ian13> dr_willis: sorry, how do I do that?
[05:42] <CarinArr> mine's using 28mb swap
[05:42] <i_user2007> any one know can I check my ext3 file system for error

[05:42] <Dimensions> Hiya ..............after trying for three hours ... can some one help with apache / php setting ....i have them installed by i am unable to open any php files .. with either Forbidden Permission denied errors or Open with dialog box ... can some one help me out ..
[05:42] <kitche> zero: swap will only be used if it needs to be used by default in linux
[05:42] <Serge_K_> ian13: actually fat32 is case-insensitive...  so thats OK
[05:42] <LjL> !fsck > i_user2007    (i_user2007, see the private message from Ubotu)
[05:43] <dr_willis> ian13,  you may want to read up on how linux mounts filesystems.   - the thing may be getting automounted. or it may have an entry in /etc/fstab
[05:43] <zero> kitche: and when it's that?
[05:43] <Dimensions> heyyyyyyyy dr_willis howdy ...
[05:43] <ian13> dr_willis: it seems to automount in that it always mounts at /dev/sda4
[05:43] <dr_willis> ian13,  you mean at /media/sda4 ?
[05:43] <kitche> ian13: /dev/sda4 is the device not the mountpoint
[05:44] <ian13>  /media/ sorry
[05:44] <dr_willis> ian13,  try the mount command - see what it says about /media/sda4
[05:44] <dr_willis> it seems odd that its doing that. ive never seen/herd of that issue befor
[05:45] <ian13>  /dev/sda4 on /media/sda4 type vfat (rw,utf8,umask=007,gid=46)
[05:45] <sivaji>  speaker is not working in kubuntu but  it is fine in windows

[05:46] <zero> ok, somebody can tell why running a mp3 file over the cd rom consumes more than 50% of my memory?... i have 1gb

[05:47] <Neil-> Anyone here used terminatorX before?

[05:47] <neverblue> anyone good with system specs, looking at both an Intel and AMD system
[05:47] <Consty> How can I go about reducing the area in which activates the vertical scroll on my trackpad on my laptop?  It seems almost a quarter of the area will activate it if I go up or down.  Any clues?

[05:48] <stefg> zero: caching
[05:48] <zero> stefg: caching?
[05:48] <nuu> ian13: then afaik this is normal vfat driver behavior

It's checked in gsynaptics.  Any ideas?
[05:49] <neverblue> nn buy a new system
[05:49] <stefg> zero: there's nothing less useful than unused ram, so if it's there the kernel or some app puts it to good use
[05:49] <Consty> nn: You're wasting your time.  Go play with legos or something instead.
[05:49] <YoshiBishi> Hello
[05:49] <ian13> nuu: it's just rather odd - and causes me issues in deciding if stuff is all caps (my PSP for example, needs most folders in allcaps)

[05:49] <Dimensions> thanks i will try
[05:50] <leagris> ian13, VFat aka FAT32 is case insensitive as is all windows environment as opposed to Linux filesystems which match case of filenames. To avoid conflicts, VFAT arrange it that way.
[05:50] <zero> stefg: are you saying, the kernel just put some apps to use the unused ram?
[05:50] <Tr1ckY> how do i see the number on each partition ?
[05:50] <Tr1ckY> i can only se the name :|~

[05:51] <bullgard4> Synaptic writes about the program docbook2man: "converts a DocBook refentry to a man page." What is a 'refentry'?
[05:51] <ian13> leagris: is there a way to preserve allcaps though, since mixedcaps are preserved
[05:51] <defrysk> zero, look at it this way: unused ram is wasted ram

[05:51] <DjViper> bullgard4: I'd have to guess, reference entry ?
[05:51] <stefg> zero: no.... buffers and cache... copying filesystem content to ram to avoid seeks. e.g. This is a complex matter, just be glad that the kernel is smart :-)
[05:52] <bullgard4> DjViper: Thank you for answering.
[05:52] <nuu> floatingman: that wasnt addressed at you, but at ian13
[05:52] <Neil-> Agreed
[05:52] <zero> stefg: .... ok
[05:52] <Neil-> every single damn mp3 player I try using in ubuntu segfaults
[05:52] <Neil-> even terminatorX dj software
[05:52] <zero> stefg: i'm confuse now ^_^!
[05:52] <DShepherd> I am on a a wireless connection.. does anyone have problems with ubuntu (i suspect network-manager) just drop the internet connection randomly
[05:52] <Neil-> whats the issue >_<
[05:52] <zero> defrysk: i'm confuse ^_^!
[05:53] <Jack_Sparrow> DShepherd, I saw a fix for that in the Ubuntu docs online
[05:53] <defrysk> zero, a hardrive is slower then ram
[05:53] <dr_willis> by a factor of like 1000000x slower :0
[05:53] <leagris> ian13, you should have a look at man mount for the vfat options like "shortname"
[05:53] <nuu> ian13: i think you've hit a limitation in the vfat driver
[05:53] <ian13> leagris: will do
[05:54] <ian13> nuu: thanks anyway :P
[05:54] <defrysk> zero, so better use ram "the linux way" to keep your apps running snappy
[05:54] <nuu> n
[05:54] <nuu> np
[05:54] <DShepherd> Jack_Sparrow, ok wiki.ubuntu.com?
[05:54] <sivaji> nuu it seems everything is correct

[05:54] <zero> defrysk: yep i sure of that, but why some books recommends to put a swap partition that it's bigger than your memory, but it doesnt even use it
[05:54] <dr_willis> some books are VERY out of date also..
[05:54] <zero> defrysk: ok...
[05:54] <hendrixski> my mail encryption thing seems a little funky

[05:55] <nuked_omen> what's a hash table?
[05:55] <nuked_omen> like hash = crack?
[05:55] <defrysk> nuked_omen, only what it stinks
[05:55] <defrysk> when*
[05:55] <neverblue> Intel or AMD (same cost) ?
[05:55] <leagris> zero, this can be usefull in case you use suspend to disk (laptop) or you use to work with huge files larger than available memory (gimp big pixmaps)...
[05:55] <dr_willis> zero,  on my desktop machines - i always set up a 512mb swap parttion. wht 1 gb of ram.  swap is rarely used.
[05:55] <neverblue> opinions...
[05:55] <Consty> How can I go about reducing the area in which activates the vertical scroll on my trackpad on my laptop?  It seems almost a quarter of the area will activate it if I go up or down.  Any clues?
[05:55] <hendrixski> I got an encrypted email, but can't seem to decrypt it. though I decrypted the one I got from launchpad
[05:55] <nuked_omen> AMD costs less
[05:55] <stefg> nuked_omen: no hash tables don't smoke .....
[05:56] <orbin> neverblue: #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:56] <hendrixski> what am I supposed to do to decrypt messages?
[05:56] <neverblue> nuked_omen, not in this case
[05:56] <nuked_omen> hash tables are tables which on you roll your joint
[05:56] <nuked_omen> on which
[05:56] <wardyx> anyone using libnss-pgsql for their user authentication?
[05:56] <zero> dr_willis: yeah i noticed that, i've only used like the 3 % of the swap partition

[05:59] <leagris> hendrixski, hopefully your sender has his gpg key on some public gpg key server you can import it from using his key id.
[05:59] <DShepherd> Jack_Sparrow, i think i found something..
[05:59] <cdizzle> hey guys, n00b question, but i'm having trouble googling it. How can I change who can/cannot mount?
[05:59] <zero> leagris: i have 1gb ram, maybe with 2 gb it could work great
[05:59] <hendrixski> leagris, oh like using seahorse? or one of those?
[06:00] <gluttony> how do i give my account permission to write to my mounted windows drive?
[06:00] <leagris> hendrixski, if you use thunderbird, it has a small icon placed near the short header of the message. Just click this icon about pgp key then it will allow you to import the proper one.

[06:01] <King_InuYasha> why is system-config-kickstart available in ubuntu?
[06:01] <dr_willis> gluttony,  theres a ntfs-writeing tool/setting in feisty i recall.
[06:02] <King_InuYasha> it makes me suspicious of the ubiquity :P
[06:02] <cdizzle> hey guys, n00b question, but i'm having trouble googling it. How can I change who can/cannot mount?
[06:02] <gluttony> dr_willis: its not that its not writting. i just dont have permission

[06:02] <overdark> Hello again. I reinstalled ubuntu, booting worked. I booted WinXP so I could use PartitionMagic to delete Linux' partitions, in order to get rid of it. Upon rebooting (to do that), i get the same error 17 as before. How on earth would I get over this?
[06:02] <hendrixski> leagris, Ok... I found their key using seahorse....  do I have to sign it or something? 'cause their encrypted message still shows up as giberish
[06:02] <King_InuYasha> hehe
[06:02] <dr_willis> gluttony,  it may fix that issue also.. you just need to set the proper umask when its mounting would be my guess. Im basicially windows free now a days ;) so cant tell ya more in detail
[06:02] <King_InuYasha> so i was right
[06:03] <King_InuYasha> and people didnt believe me
[06:03] <King_InuYasha> im aware what kickstart does
[06:03] <nuu> cdizzle: mount generally ? or just a given filesystem like ntfs ?
[06:03] <Bibagi> nuu ?
[06:03] <King_InuYasha> after all, i use it frequently for anaconda on Fedora and RHEL
[06:03] <dr_willis> I used to have KICKSTART floppy disks for my Amiga.

[06:05] <audEo> hi, any UK users here?
[06:05] <madsporkmurderer> There are some odd bugs in my Dapper installation and I can't be bothered to dl Edgy and have Fiesty disks so was planning on doing a clean install then copying all my current files/settings; if I copy my home directory and all the configuration files Ive played with (fstab, xorg.conf etc) what else will I need to do to get everything I currently have?
[06:05] <ahmed> it kinda uses only 1 core then revert to use the other one
[06:05] <Bibagi> nuu : in the windows. but its a pppoe so i need to dail... what to do help plzzzzz
[06:05] <overdark> Hello again. I reinstalled ubuntu, booting worked. I booted WinXP so I could use PartitionMagic to delete Linux' partitions, in order to get rid of it. Upon rebooting (to do that), i get the same error 17 as before. How on earth would I get over this?
[06:05] <PriceChild> audEo, yes, more of us in #ubuntu-uk
[06:05] <mc44> ahmed: thats the was the processor is designed
[06:05] <mc44> ahmed: if an application is single threaded it will only use one core
[06:06] <ahmed> did any one try ubuntu studio ??
[06:06] <leagris> ahmed, put enough load and it will use boths cores
[06:06] <PriceChild> ahmed, #ubuntu-studio
[06:06] <audEo> PriceChild thanks :)
[06:06] <Bibagi> nuu ok now ?
[06:06] <mc44> leagris: assuming more than one process running
[06:06] <nuu> Bibagi: what errors do you get from that procedure i've told you to follow ?
[06:07] <rdehler> how do i install an older version of a software package
[06:07] <Bibagi> nuu can i pm u ?
[06:07] <killown> gdm does not execute after boot it returns a nvidia error "module not found" but I do login as root and execute gdm and it works fine .. what I do to fix it?
[06:07] <leagris> rdehler, download the deb package and force install or download source for old package and rebuild it to satisfy dependencies
[06:08] <rdehler> where can i find it?
[06:08] <ahmed> PCLinuxOS 2007. did any one try it or know anything abt it ???????????
[06:09] <mjr> This is Ubuntu support. And excess question marks aren't going to help you.
[06:09] <mc44> mjr: are you sure???????????????????????????????????/
[06:09] <leagris> rdehler, on repos for old version. Either browse the repos by hand and download or add old repos to your sources.list. Best way is to download the source package the rebuild because installing binaries with unmet dependencies or incompatibles dependencies may break things badly.
[06:10] <leagris> rdehler, what old version of package are you looking for ?
[06:10] <ian13> hey. it seems i want to -o shortname=winnt when /dev/sda4 is mounted at /media/sda4 at boot. where abouts is the config for this held?
[06:10] <rdehler> can you be more specific? i'm kind of a noob at this.  i'm looking for subversion 1.4.2
[06:10] <ahmed> guys wats the difference between PCLinuxOS 2007 and ubuntu,..
[06:10] <LjL> !info subversion edgy
[06:10] <bruenig> ian13, just add it in the options for /etc/fstab
[06:10] <nuu> ian13: in the fstab, or if you're mounting from cmdline, it's a -o parameter
[06:10] <ubotu> subversion: advanced version control system (aka. svn). In component main, is optional. Version 1.3.2-3ubuntu2 (edgy), package size 203 kB, installed size 3020 kB
[06:10] <PriceChild> ahmed, They are different distributions both based on linux
[06:11] <LjL> rdehler: sorry, Edgy came with 1.3.2, and Feisty comes with 1.4.3
[06:11] <PriceChild> ahmed, try them out to find the difference
[06:11] <rdehler> yes, i have feisty and need to downgrade
[06:11] <ian13> bruenig: okay, are the options just stored in that file?
[06:11] <LjL> rdehler: i've got that, but as i said, there was never a 1.4.2 in Ubuntu
[06:11] <nuu> ian13: yes, edit it and add it to the other options, separating it with a comma
[06:11] <bruenig> ian13, sure
[06:11] <rdehler> so is that to say there cannot be?
[06:12] <nuu> ian13: don't use -o in fstab
[06:12] <nuu> ian13: just the option
[06:12] <ian13> nuu: okay thanks
[06:12] <stefg> !pinning | rdehler
[06:12] <ubotu> rdehler: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto
[06:12] <PriceChild> stefg, not useful as ubuntu didn't have 1.4.2
[06:12] <LjL> stefg, there's little to pin if the package never was available to start with
[06:12] <stefg> ok...
[06:13] <ian13> when mounting other stuff from the cmdline, i sometimes need to be root to do that. after sudo'ing it, i cannot myself access it, chmoding the mountpoint doesnt seem to work for me.... what should I do?
[06:14] <ian13> ubuntu also seems to always refer to /media/sda4 as FILES, can i make it a bit more pretty (files for example)
[06:14] <dr_willis> ian13,  for ntfs/vfat stuff you do NOT NOT NOT chmod the mountpoint. You set the umask option when mounting.
[06:14] <shafqat> hi everyone
[06:14] <mugwuffin> hi, I accidentally deleted my apache2.conf - what package do I need to install to get the default verison back?
[06:14] <dr_willis> ian13,  thers the automounting stuff. then thers manual mounting via editing  of fstab or command line. :)
[06:15] <leagris> rdehler, you can download old package here ftp://ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/s/subversion/subversion_1.4.3dfsg1-1ubuntu1_i386.deb
[06:15] <LjL> rdehler: apparently there's a source package available, though, so maybe you're lucky
[06:15] <defrysk> mugwuffin, apt-get install --reinstall
[06:15] <leagris> oups
[06:15] <rdehler> that's still 1.4.3
[06:15] <nuu> mugwuffin: dpkg-reconfigure too
[06:15] <sorush20> I can't run the installation on ubuntu cd on my laptop any ideas why? I ran it once it crashed silently now I can't run it again , in fact I can't run anything.
[06:15] <LjL> rdehler: no
[06:15] <nuu> should rewrite the default apache config file in place
[06:15] <ian13> dr_willis okay, i will bear inmind the chmod thing - i wonder how much stuff i have broken doing that - what should the perms be (my /media/sda4 is 777)
[06:15] <shafqat> I have received my server today, when installing the server edition of ubuntu or the desktop versio, the system stucks at the harddrive partitioner
[06:15] <cdizzle> how do i let a normal user use mount?
[06:15] <LjL> rdehler: make a directory and download these three files, and put them there: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/s/subversion/subversion_1.4.2dfsg1-2ubuntu5.diff.gz  http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/s/subversion/subversion_1.4.2dfsg1-2ubuntu5.dsc   subversion_1.4.2dfsg1.orig.tar.gz
[06:15] <LjL> or die
[06:16] <dr_willis> ian13,  for ntfs/vfat you cant change the permissions  on the filesystems. the mount/umask stuff sort of 'fakes' it.
[06:16] <shafqat> it is raid 1 configured
[06:16] <DVS01> is there a way to scale a VNC window so that the session is resized to the window size, eliminating the need for scrollbars? i noticed the windows version of realvnc has this
[06:16] <rdehler> sry about that
[06:16] <rdehler> !pinning
[06:16] <ubotu> pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto
[06:16] <LjL> rdehler: make a directory and download these three files, and put them there: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/s/subversion/subversion_1.4.2dfsg1-2ubuntu5.diff.gz  http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/s/subversion/subversion_1.4.2dfsg1-2ubuntu5.dsc   subversion_1.4.2dfsg1.orig.tar.gz
[06:16] <ian13> dr_willis ah okay
[06:16] <mugwuffin> i tried both apt-get install --reinstall and dpkg-reconfigure but it doesnt recreate /etc/apache2
[06:16] <stefg> rdehler: as pointed out this is misleading in your case...
[06:17] <DavidCraft> quick question
[06:17] <rdehler> hold on a sec
[06:17] <ian13> dr_willis: i guess that i do something like -o umask=777 then
[06:17] <rdehler> fecking client won't let me copy/paste
[06:17] <leagris> sorry I must go guys, rdehler LjL will help on your topic. Good luck and congrats on using Ubuntu.
[06:17] <DavidCraft> from inside ubuntu how do I check what CPU I have, and what the clock speed is?
[06:17] <sorush20> any ideas why ?
[06:17] <ian13> ubuntu also seems to always refer to /media/sda4 as FILES, can i make it a bit more pretty (files for example)
[06:17] <LjL> rdehler: the last one is lacking the URL, it's http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/s/subversion/subversion_1.4.2dfsg1.orig.tar.gz
[06:18] <andatche> DavidCraft: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[06:18] <pjman80> 2.6.20-15-generic is the Kernel I'm running in Feisty. I'd like to change it (upgrade or downgrade) to see if a problem I'm having persists. Can someone help?
[06:18] <DavidCraft> thx
[06:18] <bkudria> can someone tellme about ubuntu server? how it it different from regular ubuntu?  i'm considering server vs. debian stable, and it'd be nice to read some more about ubuntu server.  anyone got any pointers for me?
[06:18] <rdehler> sec, send me those links to new client
[06:18] <rdehler> brb
[06:18] <mjr> bkudria, just with respect to packages installed by default
[06:18] <rdehler> ok again please
[06:19] <bkudria> mjr: are you aware of any compare and conotract wrt debian stable?
[06:19] <stefg> pjman80: imho there's no alternative kernel available for feisty. If you want a different kernel you have to build it yourself
[06:19] <mc44> bkudria: ubuntu server is pretty much regular ubuntu minus gui with a few more server specific packages shipped
[06:20] <bkudria> mc44: ok, cool
[06:20] <gui_> hi
[06:20] <bullgard4> DjViper: Thanks to your help I was able now - after much digging - to grasp the concept of refentry. So thank you again for your help.
[06:20] <bkudria> mc44: thanks for the answers
[06:20] <mc44> bkudria: still released every six months, like normal ubuntu, unlike debian stable :P
[06:20] <LjL> rdehler: managed to get them? want me to PM them? (why can't you paste?)
[06:21] <rdehler> i have a new client now
[06:21] <rdehler> can you send the links to me again
[06:21] <LjL> rdehler:  http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/s/subversion/subversion_1.4.2dfsg1-2ubuntu5.diff.gz  http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/s/subversion/subversion_1.4.2dfsg1-2ubuntu5.dsc   http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/s/subversion/subversion_1.4.2dfsg1.orig.tar.gz
[06:21] <pjman80> stefg: I see a linux-386 option. Do you know the difference between that and generic?
[06:21] <BrendanM> So I'm having trouble installing something on Wine. Is it possible to install it on a real version of windows, and then just copy the directory over to the .wine folder
[06:21] <gui_> does any body have problems with his mouse ? sometimes my mouse becomes crazy and move everywhere on my desktop :-) is it normal ?
[06:21] <dr_willis> BrendanM,  that may or may not work. :) i
[06:22] <BrendanM> pjman80, use generic. It'll automatically make the best choice for your processor
[06:22] <PriceChild> gui_, take your mouse out... blow the connectino and also the port on the back of your computer (close your eyes) then put it back in
[06:22] <LjL> rdehler: put them all in the same directory, then cd to that directory, and type  dpkg-source -x subversion_1.4.2dfsg1-2ubuntu5.dsc 
[06:22] <BrendanM> linux-386 doesn't include optimizations fro newer processors (i.e. 586)
[06:22] <stefg> pjman80: compiler-options. - generic is optimized for 486 and up, -386 runs on stoneage-hardware, but the version and options are the same
[06:22] <mugwuffin> which package supplied apache2.conf ? I cant figure out how to reinstall it
[06:22] <kitche> BrendanM: well your wrong there since it can use pentium4 optiizations
[06:22] <pjman80> stefg: thanks for the info!
[06:22] <LjL> rdehler: then  cd subversion-1.4.2dfsg1 , then  sudo apt-get install debuild , then  debuild . wait for it to compile.
[06:23] <rdehler> ok i'll let you know how it goes, thanks
[06:23] <BrendanM> kirxhe, -386 doesn't use pentium4 optimizations
[06:23] <LjL> rdehler: after it's compiled, you'll have a .deb package in that directory.  sudo dpkg -i package.deb  will install it. later, you can use pinning to keep it from being upgraded
[06:23] <Offoffoff> Hola!
[06:23] <gui_> PriceChild, sure ? I receive many errors message from the kernel who said there is sync problems ! (I try two different ps2 mouse)
[06:23] <rdehler> dpkg-source command not found
[06:23] <Offoffoff> Is is safa to use Debian packages in Ubuntu?
[06:23] <PriceChild> Offoffoff, no-one will support it
[06:24] <bullgard4> After much reading my impression is that DocBook in Ubuntu 7.04 is only a project with no ready applications for Ubuntu users. Or am I wrong?
[06:24] <mc44> Offoffoff: is the package not in ubuntu?
[06:24] <sipior> Offoffoff: but generally, yes
[06:24] <rdehler> do i have to install dpgk-source ?
[06:24] <LjL> rdehler: sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev
[06:24] <Offoffoff> Yap
[06:24] <PriceChild> gui_, maybe i'm wrong.
[06:24] <rdehler> ok
[06:24] <LjL> rdehler: actually, just install debuild first
[06:24] <LjL> rdehler: which is package "pbuilder" actually
[06:25] <rdehler> ok pbuilder installed
[06:25] <LjL> rdehler: err... no. it's "devscripts". sorry.
[06:25] <rdehler> heh
[06:25] <Alkivar> anyone here setup an ubuntu machine to be used by small children or old folks?
[06:25] <gui_> PriceChild, look at this :-(
[06:25] <rdehler> k done
[06:25] <gui_> [  831.183122]  psmouse.c: bad data from KBC - timeout bad parity
[06:25] <gui_> [  838.608769]  psmouse.c: Wheel Mouse at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 2 bytes away.
[06:25] <Offoffoff> Funny
[06:25] <Offoffoff> Poor children
[06:25] <Alkivar> i'm trying to brainstorm any potential modifications I should make to a default install
[06:25] <Offoffoff> to fight with Ubuntu
[06:25] <LjL> rdehler: ok you should be set now
[06:25] <sipior> Alkivar: interesting that you should link those two together
[06:26] <Alkivar> sipior: the machine i'm building is going into a community rec center
[06:26] <Alkivar> it will see duty with both groups
[06:26] <sipior> Alkivar: i know, it just struck me as funny
[06:26] <Alkivar> ahh :)
[06:27] <LjL> rdehler: oh, also "apt-get build-dep svn" to install the stuff needed to compile it
[06:27] <aryah> its perfectly logical, precisely the groups one would need to make using a computer VERY easy for
[06:27] <Tom47> Alkivar there was a recent article about locking down ubuntu/gnome in situations like that
[06:27] <Alkivar> Tom: got a link by chance?
[06:27] <digital_k> can anyone tell me how to enable single window mode in epiphany browser? thanks :)
[06:28] <Alkivar> aryah: yeah ... and if i install windows on the blasted thing it will be crawling with spyware within a few hours

[06:28] <rdehler> LjL: i'm using pbuilder-satisfydepends, as it suggested
[06:28] <Zambezi> I got the problem after MythTV installed a timeserver.

[06:30] <rdehler> as it suggested when i tried to debuild
[06:30] <LjL> rdehler, pbuilder is for making sure your own packages have the right dependencies listed etc. it's for developers mostly. you just want to use debuild
[06:31] <LjL> rdehler: uhm well as long as it works and doesn't take hours
[06:31] <sahil> how do i install cairo ? im trying to get gnome dock
[06:31] <harold> i'm trying to make my dvd drive visible to my 32bit chroot, but when i use fstab to mount it over i get weird dismount prolbems (regular enviroment can't dismount untuil chroot does), and i can't get symbolic links to work (says "too deep"). any ideas?
[06:31] <Zambezi> sipior, Doesn't work.
[06:32] <heroin> Whats a good ISO burning software, i have a feeling the default nautilus thing doesnt do it
[06:32] <JennyDeafx74> should use chmod or chown "775" /dev/vboxdrv

[06:35] <sipior> Zambezi: unfortunate

[06:36] <Zambezi> ompaul, Yes. I've been using Ubuntu for about 10 months.
[06:36] <digital_k> heroin: yes!
[06:36] <Guardbot> when i try to do a normal install, or from safe graphics mode
[06:36] <Zambezi> sipior, I don't want to reboot either and the daemon is installed so I'm not sure it helps.
[06:36] <Guardbot> right after the kernel gets done loading, my monitor shuts down
[06:37] <sipior> Zambezi: well, you can wait for the time to expire :)
[06:37] <kristjan_> what package is good to select for suspend bug report?
[06:37] <sipior> Zambezi: how far off is the clock?

[06:37] <Guardbot> i burned the cd and dvd from iso's on ubuntu site
[06:37] <ompaul> Zambezi, where did you get the install for mythtv from?
[06:37] <heroin> digital_k: i guees i will just have to get my CD back it looks like a crappy app
[06:37] <Guardbot> well, the dvd version is from somewhere else
[06:38] <zeroflag> any suggestion for a simple FTP demon?
[06:38] <digital_k> heroin:looks can be decieving. ;)
[06:38] <Zambezi> sipior, The clock in the BIOS was wrong so I changed it. That migth have something to do with it, but as I could install Mythtv, I guess it's not the reason.
[06:38] <sipior> Zambezi: well, the problem is the file /var/run/sudo/<username>, if you can get rid of that...
[06:38] <Zambezi> ompaul, From the Ubuntu repos.
[06:38] <heroin> digital_k: urm..
[06:39] <Guardbot> i can get the burned dvd to start installing in the text-only mode, but it can't find the "cdrom" to mount it for install
[06:39] <digital_k> Guardbot: there is a link for an alternate install on ubuntus site
[06:39] <mh_le> is cyrus-imap avaliable from apt?

[06:39] <ompaul> Zambezi, okay, so they have /msg ubotu mythtv for their instuctions - as for what sipior is asying I would boot the machine press ESC in the grub menu, I would then go into recovery and make sure that file does not exist the is being referred to
[06:39] <digital_k> if you went to wikipedia, thats an outdated photo apparently
[06:39] <digital_k> i was going to link you to it but i decided not too
[06:40] <heroin> digital_k: i installed it >.> just doesnt give me a good vibe
[06:40] <Noodlesgc> is there a downside to having kubuntu-desktop on ubuntu?
[06:40] <Guardbot> i looked at the alternate install page, net install didn't work and I followed instructions to the letter
[06:40] <digital_k> lol ok heroin
[06:40] <heroin> Noodlesgc: lots of useless discspace
[06:40] <sipior> mh_le: you can try apt-cache search <foo> and you can have a look at what's installed
[06:40] <robdeman> hi folks, phpinfo() shows that mod_rewrite is on, but it does not seem to work on my brand new Feisty 7.04 box?
[06:41] <Noodlesgc> i know, but could it easily messup my system?
[06:41] <Zambezi> sipior, ompaul I have a look at it right away.
[06:41] <ROnewbie> hi all, a bit of a wi-fi problem here; I run Feisty and XP on an MSI S271x laptop, and I can't connect to my local WEP-encrypted wireless network. Funny thing is, both XP and Feisty see it, I can connect to it through cable, but Network Manager won't connect me tot the wireless. Other than that, installation worked perfectly, Feisty saw all my drivers and everything. Suggestions?
[06:42] <Tom47> Guardbot: what monitor and graphics card are you using?
[06:42] <fxfitz> Hey does anyone know how to get midi's to play in Ubuntu??
[06:42] <digital_k> heroin:perhaps brasero is what you want, here is a link to a screenshot http://perso.orange.fr/bonfire/images/burn_dialogs.png
[06:42] <Tom47> !midi
[06:42] <ubotu> Trouble playing MIDI files? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MidiSoftwareSynthesisHowTo
[06:42] <andi5> fxfitz: i liked fluidsynth, iirc
[06:42] <digital_k> ive not used it tho, so i dont have any input into how it functions
[06:42] <sipior> ROnewbie: sure you entered the wep key, correctly? as in ascii vs. hex vs. passphrase?
[06:42] <fxfitz> Awesome. Thank you!
[06:42] <heroin> digital_k: well the only burnen i ever liked was nero 6 versions
[06:42] <ROnewbie> sipior: yes. absolutely
[06:42] <Guardbot> i have a radeon x700 card, and the on-board is nvidia (although it seems to have gone awol)
[06:42] <laudimo> Io^n`
[06:42] <laudimo> lo^n`
[06:43] <digital_k> heroin:there is nero for linux, however, the download is free. the key is 20 bucks to make it work. :/
[06:43] <heroin> digital_k: 20 BUCKS? o man that not very open source'ish
[06:43] <co_lg_mati> #makassar
[06:43] <digital_k> nero isnt open source.
[06:43] <ROnewbie> sipior: I even took out the password for a change, just to try and see it like that. But still no dice. It doesn't display any signal strength.
[06:44] <sipior> ROnewbie: might there be a bit of firmware that needs to be loaded first?
[06:44] <preaction> heroin: open-source does not mean free-as-in-beer
[06:44] <ROnewbie> sipior: how can I find out if that's the case ? Mind the  "newbie" in me
[06:44] <ROnewbie> :-)
[06:45] <dr_willis> i perfer k3b to nero.
[06:45] <sipior> ROnewbie: any idea what the card version is? try an "lspci" and see if you can find the brand
[06:45] <sipior> ROnewbie: or lspci -v for a bit more data
[06:45] <Guardbot> so when the kernel loads, the monitor dies, like the kernel is trying to communicate with the onboard graphics (which I can't seem to install drivers for because they can't see it as being there)
[06:46] <co_lg_mati> #bandung
[06:46] <Tom47> Guardbot: sorry gotta go .... suggest you fram your question briefly incl the graphics detail
[06:46] <phanto1> Need help!!! I am a beginner. dont now comand for terminal how to copy ALSA to specified dir.     https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[06:46] <co_lg_mati> #bandung
[06:46] <Guardbot> thanks anyway
[06:46] <PriceChild> co_lg_mati, please use "/join" before those channel names to join the channels
[06:47] <andi5> phanto1: you mean "sudo cp /home/naaman/installers/alsa/* ."? (watch out the trailing dot)
[06:47] <ROnewbie> sipior: looking through the lspci output now ... where exactly should I look?
[06:47] <digital_k> Guardbot: what is the make of the onboard graphics on your machine?
[06:47] <dedi> need help for [fglrx]  Internal AGP is not supported in 2.6 kernel  (while booting, feisty, 64bit, nforce3board)
[06:47] <sipior> PriceChild: well it was obviously a typo. how do you think he got here? :-)
[06:47] <ncd> hey
[06:47] <PriceChild> sipior, the ubuntu clients join #ubuntu by default
[06:47] <belgarath_> Anyone have a suggestion about a good nvidia-card for ubuntu. I need dual-head!
[06:47] <ROnewbie> ! paste | Ronewbie
[06:47] <sipior> ROnewbie: should say something about a wireless receiver
[06:48] <sipior> PriceChild: interesting, mine doesn't do that...
[06:48] <PriceChild> sipior, just making sure, as 3 typos in a row is odd :)
[06:48] <ncd> any one here familiar with the Athlon X2 MP-BIOS timer not connect to IO-APIC ?
[06:48] <dxdt> hey anyone just happen to knwo off the the top of their head how if I have a window split in irssi I can move an existing channel I'm in into that new empty split?
[06:49] <rdehler> LjL: i actually need version 1.3.2, not 1.4.2
[06:49] <Guardbot> digital_k: one second
[06:49] <ROnewbie> sipior: here's the whole output: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22319/ ... can you please take a look /
[06:49] <ROnewbie> ?
[06:49] <JennyKolbe> can somebody help me on this Virtualbox issue ---> http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/11020/
[06:50] <rdehler> i found it, i'm going to attempt it
[06:50] <rdehler> with the above steps
[06:50] <andi5> JennyKolbe: sudo adduser $user vboxusers, where $user is your username
[06:50] <sipior> ROnewbie: it's the last guy, the RaLink RT2561/RT61. You can see by the "802.11g" in the network controller line. i'll see if the card is supported...
[06:51] <JennyKolbe> thanx andi5
[06:51] <andi5> JennyKolbe: you will need to log out and log in again
[06:51] <ROnewbie> sipior: thanks a lot
[06:51] <Guardbot> the on-board graphics card is an nvidia geforce, but I can't find any trace of it being there...
[06:51] <Catoptromancy> Isnt there a way to remove grub without a Windows CD?
[06:51] <bullgard4> Is there a DocBook tutorial that does not fall back to XML?
[06:51] <phanto1> andi5: No befor that it the tutorial indicates that you shood copy     alsa-driver     alsa-lib     alsa-utils   to /home/naaman/installers/alsa how do i do that it dosen't let me drag and drop?
[06:52] <Bandit52240> would anyone be able to help me with getting the modem to work on here
[06:53] <belgarath_> Does "GeCube X1650 512MB Gamers Edition AGP" work well with Linux/Ubuntu !?!
[06:53] <Toma-> belgarath_: ATI?
[06:53] <belgarath_> yes.. :D
[06:53] <rdehler> LjL: meh looks like a different process altogether
[06:54] <Toma-> belgarath_: dont hold your breath.
[06:54] <andi5> phanto1: the file manager (nautilus) should let you drag and drop files ... just create a directory and put those file into it
[06:54] <belgarath_> Toma.. you guessed it right :D
[06:54] <Toma-> belgarath_: try out the live cd and see if you can get the ATI drivers running
[06:55] <belgarath_> Toma.. Ive got it working... but i cant use beryl with my ATI9600 :(
[06:55] <phanto1> No befor tht the tutorial indicates that you shood copy     alsa-driver     alsa-lib     alsa-utils   to /home/naaman/installers/alsa how do i do that it dosen't let me drag and drop?(~beginner)
[06:55] <wardyx> anyone using libnss-pgsql for their user authentication?
[06:55] <Toma-> belgarath_: you get to join the throngs of people knocking on ATI's door for better linux drivers
[06:55] <sipior> ROnewbie: have a look here: http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/HowToRT61  Hopefully will get you up and running, though you can disregard the references to WPA, as you're not using it. the card does seem to be supported, and i'm a little surprised Network Manager didn't pick up on it. You using feisty fawn?
[06:56] <harold> i'm trying to run somethign in a 32bit chroot and i'm getting this error: "libpthread.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" is there a package i need?
[06:56] <andre_pl> anyone here have any experience with gazpacho?  I tried the version in the repos ( alittle old) then I tried the latest version and the installer seems to leave out aton of necessary files.
[06:56] <belgarath_> Toma.. haha!  I have allready done that...  I believe I was one of the first :)
[06:56] <Ax3> anyone know how to detach vmware from the terminal, i want to be able to run the program by itself...
[06:56] <andre_pl> Ax3, dont run it in the terminal :)
[06:56] <dr_willis> Ax3,  ctrl-z and bg
[06:57] <tomer> hey all
[06:57] <dr_willis> or learn some bash :) and about &
[06:57] <Guardbot> I'm trying to migrate from a windows OS. I'm trying to install 64-bit version of ubuntu 7.04 on my system from either burned CD or burned DVD. I've checksummed both and they come up as being fine, but neither one can install. It just starts to load the kernel and then when it's done the monitor dies. The DVD version has a text-only install mode that I can get to work up to the point where it tries to mount the disc, then it fails.
[06:57] <Ax3> andre_pl, for some reason following the installation, it wasn't added to the applications menu
[06:57] <tomer> how do i get Totem to play windows format
[06:57] <tomer> ?
[06:57] <Ax3> dr_willis, tried that
[06:57] <tomer> this command does not work:
[06:57] <tomer> sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-pitfdll gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse gxine libxine-main1 libxine-extracodecs ogle ogle-gui
[06:57] <andre_pl> Ax3, press alt_f2 and type 'vmware'
[06:57] <Guardbot> my onboard graphics card is an nvidia geforce, but it cannot be found. The addon graphics card is a radeon x700.
[06:57] <dr_willis> then im guessing ya are missing somthing fundamental. :) or else we are confused as to whats going on.
[06:57] <andre_pl> tomer, system->administration->synaptic package maanger then install all the gstreamer packages.
[06:58] <cdizzle> Hey guys, kinda a n00b question, but how do I let a normal user mount a smbfs fs?
[06:58] <ROnewbie> sipior: yes, I'm using feisty. and the thing with the card is that it sees the wi-fi network, it sees all those of my neighbours, it sees that they're encrypted, it just doesn't show any signal strength and it won't connect. could it be that it's something with my router? on another laptop wi-fi worked/works ok.
[06:58] <ROnewbie> under feisty
[06:58] <Ax3> dr_willis, not sure, i did 'sudo vmware &' but if i kill the terminal the application is also still taken with it
[06:58] <Ax3> andre_pl, thanks
[06:58] <dr_willis> cdizzle,  you may want to check out that fuse/smbfuse stuff.   I perfer smb4k however.
[06:58] <Consty> Anyone know how to reduce the area where vertical scroll initiates for a trackpad on a laptop?  What setting it is in xorg.conf?
[06:59] <dr_willis> Ax3,  you are running the vmware-client front end as root? theres no need for that.
[06:59] <andre_pl> Ax3, no problem, you'll use that shortcut alot :)
[06:59] <cdizzle> dr_willis, okay, i'll take a look at that
[06:59] <sipior> ROnewbie: doesn't seem likely, but difficult to diagnose at this distance
[06:59] <dr_willis> Ax3,  dont 'kill' the terminal. use the 'exit' command.
[06:59] <ROnewbie> sipior: when I click on it, it immediately asks for the password. I provide it, then it just keeps going on and on in connecting it.
[06:59] <andre_pl> Ax3, almost anything can be run by typing hte name of the program there.
[06:59] <ROnewbie> sipior: let me take a look at the link.
[06:59] <dr_willis> Ax3,  dont just click the X/close button use exit. :)
[06:59] <sipior> ROnewbie: could the router be configured to only assign dhcp leases to certain mac addresses?
[07:00] <Ax3> dr_willis, sry that's what i mean; heh, i'll try and be more accurate, but yes, im using the X button :)
[07:00] <sipior> ROnewbie: that would explain the difference
[07:00] <dr_willis> Ax3,  thats the problem then.
[07:00] <Nalleman> hi, im about to re install ubuntu on my computer because its so bloated right now. If I save my /home, will all settings be restored when installed (such as screen resolution, program settings for beryl and other programs)
[07:00] <corvus9> join #ubuntu-fr
[07:00] <Ax3> dr_willis, ok understood
[07:00] <dr_willis> nalioth,  not system settings.
[07:01] <Ax3> dr_willis, my mistake, i figured the X button and 'exit' were one in the same
[07:01] <ian13> ubuntu also seems to always refer to /media/sda4 as FILES, can i make it a bit more pretty (files for example)
[07:01] <HorizonXP> hey guys
[07:01] <Ax3> :)
[07:01] <HorizonXP> how would I recover lost files on a USB stick?
[07:01] <greyfrog> Nalleman: alot of settings are stored in /etc as well
[07:01] <Consty> Anyone know how to reduce the area where vertical scroll initiates for a trackpad on a laptop?  What setting it is in xorg.conf?
[07:01] <andre_pl> HorizonXP, open it in nautilus and hit CTRL+H and see igf there is a "TRASH" folder on it.
[07:01] <andi5> HorizonXP: look for .Trash-$user ... you may need to show hidden files
[07:02] <heroin> I shared a folder and when i try to connect to it via a network it asks for my password so i enter my useraccount and pass but it doesnt accept it? what are the passes?
[07:02] <HorizonXP> no .Trash-$user
[07:02] <HorizonXP> no hidden folders at all
[07:02] <andre_pl> HorizonXP, your files are likely gone then
[07:03] <greyfrog> heroin I think you need to set smbpass
[07:03] <HorizonXP> FUDGE!
[07:03] <Nalleman> greyfrog, ok. so if I reinstall i will have to install like, codecs and stuff?
[07:03] <HorizonXP> Ubuntu's so dumb that way
[07:03] <ian13> ie, how do i change a volume's label
[07:03] <HorizonXP> I left my USB stick in my USB port
[07:03] <andi5> HorizonXP: try out "ls -lA" in that directory from the shell, just to make it for sure
[07:03] <andre_pl> HorizonXP, Lol, you're the dumb one who deleted your files... why would you expect it to save them for you after you told it to delete them
[07:03] <Paradoxx> how do I delete a folder and all the files in it?
[07:03] <heroin> greyfrog: ok thats its and whats the useraccoutn?
[07:03] <HorizonXP> and went to shut down... I  saw a notice saying that it's still writing to the usb device
[07:03] <HorizonXP> then it continued to shut down
[07:03] <greyfrog> Nalleman: yup, pretty much everything
[07:03] <Ax3> Paradoxx, rm -rf <folder>
[07:03] <andi5> Paradoxx: rm -rf $directory .... watch out, dangerous
[07:03] <greyfrog> heroin: not sure about that, sorry :(
[07:04] <ROnewbie> sipior: I don't think so ... at one point it even connected to my laptop, when I was running XP (I'm on a dual boot for the moment). / On another note, I looked at the link ... I'm lost, ashamed to say it. Plus, my average computer knowledge/gut feeling tells me it's not that. Here's why: I also installed this alternative to Network Manager called Wi-Fi radar or something from the repositories, and that one sees the network at full signal. I either don't kn
[07:04] <HorizonXP> i didn't tell it to delete the files, it deleted a whole folder itself
[07:04] <HorizonXP> all cuz i left the usb key in the port while I shut down
[07:04] <ROnewbie> sipior: either
[07:04] <sidny4> without using network-manager-gnome, how do I connect to a wireless network using WPA?
[07:04] <andre_pl> HorizonXP, well, the lesson to be learned then, is always watch the little blinking light on your USB Stick and make sure its done writing before you shut down :P
[07:04] <HorizonXP> *sigh*
[07:05] <andi5> shutdown should sync all buffers, so i do not understand how something can be lost that you did not delete *yourself*
[07:05] <emo_> I'd installed kubuntu in my labtop however didn't install support or wireless card so what I have to do then ?
[07:05] <HorizonXP> It should be smart enough to WAIT until it's finished writing before it shutdown
[07:05] <HorizonXP> andi5, i'm telling you, i did NOT tell it to delete the file, i'm not that dumb
[07:05] <Ralphman> Hi, anybody had any problems updating to the new adept package manager on Edgy?
[07:05] <keeb> I've deleted my /bin directory -- what can i do?
[07:05] <andi5> HorizonXP: sorry, i did not mean to accuse you
[07:05] <andre_pl> keeb, reinstall :)
[07:05] <keeb> andre_pl: negative.
[07:05] <CarlFK> sidny4:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo
[07:05] <heroin> greyfrog: its smbpasswd
[07:06] <sipior> ROnewbie: hmm...shall we try connecting to the network manually?
[07:06] <andre_pl> keeb copy /bin from another ubuntu installation?
[07:06] <HorizonXP> andi5, it's ok... i'm just really peeved, cuz it was a presentation that i have later today
[07:06] <keeb> andre_pl: ill probably do that from the livecd
[07:06] <greyfrog> heroin: cool, couldn;t remember the exact name
[07:06] <mjr> HorizonXP, writes should be completed during shutdown, but only writes already done; if the process that was writing the file died in shutdown, it would not get its job done
[07:06] <andi5> HorizonXP: any backup available?
[07:06] <HorizonXP> no backup available
[07:06] <greyfrog> heroin: did you find out the username it needs?
[07:07] <Uubotu> hi all how can i update my dapper drake to 7.04 by cd ?
[07:07] <keeb> andre_pl: thanks for the idea, fixed
[07:07] <Guardbot> so I still cannot get ubuntu to install at all. I'm trying to migrate my system away from windows, can someone help me?
[07:07] <ROnewbie> sipior: let's give it a try if there's a safe "undo" to it ... :-D
[07:07] <andi5> HorizonXP, mjr: exactly... if you kill an application before of while a save, it cannot tell the os what to write, so it cannot flush it before halting
[07:07] <nixnoob> how can i search for packages in the repos using the command line?
[07:07] <andre_pl> keeb, no problem, i can't guarantee that wont cause any problems, but it prob ably wont
[07:07] <Nalleman> Guardbot, whats  your problem?
[07:07] <emo_> how can I do that through the terminal
[07:07] <emo_> ?
[07:07] <heroin> greyfrog: grr this thing is anyoing ill man page it to hell

[07:07] <dxdt> nixnoob: You can use the command aptitude search packagename
[07:07] <greyfrog> nixnoob: apt-cache search
[07:07] <HorizonXP> andi5, that would explain me losing any new changes, but not deleting a whole freakin folder
[07:08] <Guardbot> when I try and install from either DVD or CD, it loads the kernel then my monitor dies
[07:08] <sipior> ROnewbie: yes, no worries.

[07:08] <HorizonXP> it's a USB key
[07:08] <HorizonXP> so.... i don't know
[07:08] <andi5> probably fat32 then.... strange
[07:08] <Guardbot> also, when I try and use the text-only install on the DVD, it cannot mount the disc
[07:08] <nixnoob> greyfrog, that will search for the specified strin in the package name and description?

[07:10] <gourdin> I updated kde to 3.5.7

[07:12] <andi5> JenniferKolbe: you are missing some kernel functionality... maybe you need to load a module or start a service (from /etc/init.d, btw) .... well did not you add yourself to that group?
[07:12] <JenniferKolbe> yes

[07:23] <dave_> does anyone know how to change the port for Ubuntu's remote desktop
[07:23] <Tarkus> delcoyote_, what about this one https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[07:23] <tashe> can anyone tell me if i should install something else after installing Eclipse in 7.04, so i can write java?
[07:24] <Hawkins> Could somebody help me getting proper resolution for my fresh Ubuntu, I used this guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=414194 and got drivers working but I cannot change to resolution I'd like to use
[07:24] <delcoyote_> Tarkus wich Ubuntu are you using? feisty?
[07:24] <Tarkus> yes
[07:24] <ariel> some know about why in beryl 0.3 when screen is reloded the inside cube look strange
[07:24] <Svenstaro> Hawkins, type sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and look up the resolutions at hte end of the document and add your desired resolutions in the correct format.
[07:25] <tashe> can anyone tell me if i should install something else after installing Eclipse in 7.04, so i can write java?
[07:25] <ariel> tashe... you need you jdk
[07:26] <ariel> take care...
[07:26] <tashe> ariel: how can i do that?
[07:26] <Tarkus> delcoyote_, yes, Ubuntu Feisty, im trying to get a LAMP setup.
[07:26] <Flannel> Tarkus: that's the one.
[07:26] <ariel> tashe downloaded for synaptic or go to java.sun.com and download you favorite
[07:26] <Hawkins> Svenstaro, At screen that has identifier aticonfig I have 1280x960 as I wanted but in identifier Default Screen there is only 1024x768 <-- this is what I need to change ?
[07:27] <Sh3r1ff> tashe: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-source
[07:27] <tashe> areil: and after i install i'll be able to write in Eclipse, right?
[07:27] <ariel> yeah
[07:27] <tashe> ariel: and after i install i'll be able to write in Eclipse, right?
[07:27] <Svenstaro> Hawkins, gimme a sec to look it up, I didn't expect you to be using ATI.
[07:27] <tashe> ok
[07:27] <tashe> thanks
[07:27] <Tarkus> Flannel, yea? there is no feisty though, it says for dapper drake.
[07:28] <Svenstaro> Hawkins, Section "Screen", right?
[07:28] <Svenstaro> Hawkings, you see like Modes		"1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
[07:28] <delcoyote_> Tarkus i found this howto's also helpfull , the one youre looking also will help you: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu704
[07:28] <Flannel> Tarkus: Instructions change very little to none per version.  Packkage names might change a little
[07:28] <Flannel> delcoyote_: that howto is utter crap
[07:28] <Svenstaro> for every depth there is, just go ahead and add your resolution to the order
[07:29] <delcoyote_> Tarkus do a search on Ubuntu LAMP :http://www.howtoforge.com/trip_search
[07:29] <Flannel> howtoforge has worthless ubuntu howtos.  Stay away.

[07:29] <Hawkins> Svenstaro, I have two Screen sections, other one has indentifier "Default Screen" and the other "aticonfig-Screen[0] "
[07:29] <HorizonXP> specifically .tex
[07:30] <Svenstaro> Hawkins, both have resolutions listed beneath them?
[07:30] <hendrixski> I can't get thunderbird to encrypt my emails without a certificate, and I don't know how that differs from my public key
[07:30] <zeroflag> anyone knows the name of the mysql package?
[07:30] <Hawkins> Svenstaro, correct, default has 640 -> 1024 and aticonfig has only 1280x960
[07:30] <Flannel> zeroflag: mysql-server
[07:31] <ariel> maybe i can make script... but i don't know the shell command that beryl-manager use to re-composite the desktop
[07:31] <ariel> someone know???
[07:31] <Flannel> Tarkus: also, https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/serverguide/C/httpd.html (and other pages around it) can provide more detailed help
[07:31] <Svenstaro> Hawkins, synchronise the resolutions so both sections list the same.
[07:31] <hendrixski> how do I make a pkcs12 file in Linux?
[07:31] <zeroflag> Flannel: thanks
[07:32] <factorx> hendrixski: openssl
[07:32] <Hawkins> Svenstaro, now every Modes -line has only 1280x960 which I want to use
[07:32] <Svenstaro> dont make it only list that resolution or there might be problems
[07:32] <cox377_> is there a command to show current memory usage

[07:34] <dyrne> cox377_: also the command 'man -k' you can search the man pages for a command like man -k memory or something. its useful for locating commands you dont know
[07:34] <Svenstaro> Hawkins, when you're done restart Xserver and pray that X doesnt crash on reopening :) if it does, revert the changes with a console mode text editor.
[07:34] <nestor> dimelo ariel me

[07:42] <wastedfluid> hey guys.  question.. I had 64-bit ubuntu installed, and I downgraded to 32bit.. well, after a fresh 32-bit installation.. I now have two swaps.  Looking in gparted, it shows hda5, and hda6, both as swaps.. with a LOCK on hda6.  I want to delete the swap that was in use for the 64-bit ubuntu.. any way I can check, I'm pretty sure it's hda5 is the old one, but I just want to be sure
[07:42] <Hawkins> I'm kinda newbie to linux. My 2nd attempt to change to it and have got only restricted formats to work and got fglrx driver to work
[07:42] <eleeot> my ubuntu worked okay but after restart it doesn't load X
[07:42] <Svenstaro> wastedfluid, the way I understand is you should be able to type "mount" see which ones the active partition
[07:42] <Hawkins> Svenstaro, ATI Radeon X850XT Platinum Edition (R480)
[07:43] <kmaynard> Hawkins, displayconfig-gtk
[07:43] <Twitchy> I'm in the process of getting quake4 to run and I keep getting this error Sys_Error: Error during initialization
[07:43] <Twitchy> pure virtual method called
[07:43] <Twitchy> terminate called after throwing an instance of 'idException'
[07:43] <Twitchy> Aborted (core dumped) any input would be appreciated
[07:43] <wastedfluid> Svenstaro: what am I looking for.. I don't see swap, but I see lots of proc, sys, varrun, var lock, hm, /dev/hda3..
[07:44] <Hawkins> kmaynard, sudo apt-get displayconfig-gtk ?
[07:44] <eleeot> anyone is talking to me?
[07:44] <Svenstaro> wastedfluid, you are looking for where "/" is mounted on
[07:44] <kmaynard> Hawkins, try it
[07:44] <Svenstaro> Hawkin, this guide was it? http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Feisty_Installation_Guide
[07:44] <kitche> wastedfluid: swap does not show on mount
[07:44] <MrUnleaded> anyone know of a way i can make sure my bluetooth mouse always gets connected on boot up?
[07:44] <wastedfluid> Oh.  how can I tell which one of my swaps is active?  I have a swap on /dev/hda5, and /dev/hda6.  I had 64-but Ubuntu, then I installed 32-bit.. in gparted, it shows /dev/hda6 with a "LOCK" beside it..
[07:45] <Svenstaro> wastedfluid, wait I misread your question, you wanted to know which swap was the correct swap?
[07:45] <wastedfluid> I just want to delete the old swap.. and re-size my drives
[07:45] <Consty> Anyone know the setting in xorg.conf to restrict the vertical scroll area of a trackpad on a laptop?

[07:46] <wastedfluid> Svenstaro: Yeah.  I just want to delete the old SWAP.  I switched from 64-bit, to 32-bit Ubuntu.  There's two of thme; hda5, and hda6.  hda6 has a lock beside it in GPARTED.. and I'm pretty sure it's hda5 that's the old swap, but I just wanted to be sure..
[07:47] <eleeot> thanks for a good advice. good luck:(
[07:47] <xnix_> so delete it
[07:47] <sileni> i used ndiswrapper + bcmwl5 drivers to use wireless in dapper and i went to terminal gksu "update-manager -c" and upgraded from dapper to edgy but now my computer is not picking up the wireless and also i tried to use a wire line for net and it still is not picking up the ethernet itself i think the network part is screwed does anyone know any solution ?
[08:19] (xnix_/#ubuntu) how did you install it
[08:19] (xnix_/#ubuntu) o
[08:19] (cowbman/#ubuntu) its openoffice
[08:19] (cowbman/#ubuntu) it was installed
[08:19] (callidusfox/#ubuntu) soothsay: yes, I downloaded. So probably yes, but still in VLC i get crap, Movie PLayer tells me that "video/x-asf-unknown decoder   Windows Media Audio 9 decoder"   cannot play
[08:20] (brontos/#ubuntu) Good day all!  is there a way to start ubuntu and tell it not to try to load local drives?
[08:20] (xnix_/#ubuntu) so whats wrong with it
[08:20] (cowbman/#ubuntu) when I try to run it from the terminal, it says it is not installed
[08:20] (cowbman/#ubuntu) but it is
[08:20] (callidusfox/#ubuntu) brontos: edit your /etc/fstab
[08:20] (xnix_/#ubuntu) weird
[08:20] (xnix_/#ubuntu) are you typing the right command
[08:20] (brontos/#ubuntu) callidusfox: I am sorry.  This is from a live cd...
[08:20] <soothsay> callidusfox: VC-1 is the successor to WMV9. I thought that Blu-ray and HD-DVD used VC-1 and MPEG-4 but maybe they use WMV9 also.
[08:21] <cowbman> ya, when I run it from the the gnome menu I only get a splash screen
[08:21] <soothsay> callidusfox: WMA9 != WMV9
[08:21] <PurpZeY> Is there an application log within gnome or that I  can run from terminal?
[08:21] <callidusfox> soothsay: so what do I do ?
[08:21] <xnix_> cowbman i would uninstall it and then reinstall it
[08:21] <cowbman> i tried that
[08:22] <cowbman> should i sudo apt-get remove openoffice or use synaptic, or what?
[08:22] <xnix_> sudo apt-get remove openoffice
[08:23] <xnix_> also try showing hidden files in your home folder and delete any .openoffice files or directories after you uninstall
[08:23] <xnix_> then reinstall
[08:23] <beruic> Hi. Were do I find the file which controls which reps to search automatically for updates?
[08:23] <callidusfox> soothsay: how do I play it ?
[08:23] <cowbman> how do I make hidden files visible?
[08:23] <soothsay> callidusfox: First I would try to determine what codec it is using. (I'm not sure of a tool to do that off hand, what does 'file' say?)
[08:23] <xnix_> on the view menu
[08:23] <soothsay> callidusfox: I would guess that you would need more recent version of FFMPEG (maybe from CVS)
[08:23] <PurpZeY> beruic: To add repositories you can use synaptic
[08:24] <xnix_> in nautilus or thunar
[08:24] <callidusfox> soothsay: Source..:HDDVD

[08:24] <beruic> PurpZeY: I have the reps I want, but I don't want the medibuntu reps to be searched for updates...
[08:25] <shane_> pingus.seul.org
[08:25] <callidusfox> soothsay: Does the site work for you because it does not for me http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/
[08:25] <soothsay> callidusfox: Okay, you probably need newer version of FFMPEG
[08:25] <soothsay> callidusfox: Yes it works
[08:25] <shane_> Can anyone help me install this program to ubuntu?
[08:25] <PurpZeY> beruic: Are you running mediubuntu?
[08:25] <shane_> No
[08:25] <shane_> Feisty
[08:25] <soothsay> callidusfox: If you get to that page you will see that they announced support for WMV-9 and VC-1 on March 9
[08:25] <beruic> PurpZeY: No, Ubuntu Feistym, but needed the mediasupport
[08:26] <callidusfox> soothsay: does that mean that I will have to do compiling and stuff, I am scared of that

I think, but am not completely sure, that this happens only when azureus is turned on. However, thats not the port I configured azureus to work, Ive opened that one and it works without problems. Still I dont understand why this happenes...

[08:27] <PriceChild> shane_, maybe tell what game you want to try to install
[08:27] <scobby> need that for my usb harddriver
[08:27] <xnix_> shane
[08:27] <soothsay> callidusfox: You will probably have to compile the sources, unless someone has packaged a deb.
[08:27] <PriceChild> shane_, pingus?

[08:27] <OlliK> charly: hi
[08:27] <shane_> PriceChild: I did, pingus
[08:27] <beruic> PurpZeY: I just need to know where the config file for automatic updates are.

[08:28] <scobby> anybody know where i can get a new kernel for ubuntu ??? is there a repository ???? helllo?
[08:28] <shane_> ouch
[08:28] <xnix_> why do you want a new kernel
[08:28] <soothsay> callidusfox: Sorry, can't help you there. Works for me
[08:28] <PurpZeY> beruic: I don't know.
[08:29] <beruic> Hi all... Where do I find the config file for automatic updates?
[08:29] <callidusfox> soothsay: what was that site with debian packages? I forget the name, but all the latest stuff is usually there in debian package format
[08:29] <orville> hi
[08:29] <cowbman> ok, I tried reinstalling it
[08:29] <cowbman> it did nothing new

[08:29] <AFaith> i've spotted a problem in ubuntu feisty
[08:29] <jc87> sry, i did an ame at ptnet that worked no freenode too
[08:30] <Sh3r1ff> callidusfox: http://packages.debian.com
[08:30] <soothsay> callidusfox: You might actually have to compile MPlayer (which includes FFMPEG sources I believe)
[08:30] <AFaith> in /etc/fstab the entries from /dev/hda are shown as /dev/sda
[08:30] <xnix_> /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:30] <soothsay> callidusfox: packages.debian.org ? But I doubt you will get cutting edge packages from there.
[08:30] <Sh3r1ff> AFaith: sata shows as sda, ide as hda
[08:31] <callidusfox> soothsay: nah, that is not the site, I think it was something like get debian or soemthing
[08:31] <box> helloworld
[08:31] <AFaith> Sh3r1ff: i know, but i don't have a sata controller on my motherboard
[08:31] <beruic> Sh3r1ff: But I have IDE and they still show sda
[08:31] <shane_> fanx
[08:31] <eXSiR> callidusfox, getdeb.com
[08:31] <aryah> or getdeb.net :)
[08:31] <Sh3r1ff> AFaith, beruic: is it causing a problem?
[08:31] <xnix_> is it necessary
[08:31] <eXSiR> or :)
[08:32] <beruic> Sh3r1ff: Nope, just mentioned it :)
[08:32] <beruic> Hi all... Where do I find the config file for automatic updates?
[08:32] <aryah> thats bizzare, beruic
[08:32] <AFaith> Sh3r1ff: no
[08:32] <Sh3r1ff> beruic: rule one, if it works, leave it alone ;)
[08:32] <xnix_> why do you need to find the config file for automatic updates?
[08:32] <soothsay> callidusfox: Here are Mplayer's package listings. http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/projects.html#unofficial_packages
[08:32] <aryah> anyways, anyone have an idea about azureus and port 16680?
[08:32] <beruic> aryah: Read Sh3r1ff's message to me :)(
[08:32] <scobby> !kernel
[08:32] <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
[08:32] <eXSiR> new kernel uses ide like sata
[08:32] <anahata> so is it possible to make a scanner work with the livecd, provided you have the right drivers?
[08:33] <orville> www.getdeb.com
[08:33] <callidusfox> soothsay: this one http://www.getdeb.net
[08:33] <xnix_> anahata try it out
[08:34] <callidusfox> soothsay: so does that mplayer source has latest codec needed ?
[08:34] <extern> what octal number should I use for setting a read-only and execute permission for normal users and all permisions to root users?
[08:34] <eXSiR> btw, when i try to use hddtemp, it does not work with kernel. i read something about s.m.a.r.t. in ubuntu forums. is the problem solved?
[08:34] <Danltn> is it possible to bridge 2 connections to each other within Ubuntu?
[08:34] <PurpZeY> This might be considered off topic, if so, let me know...How does the Ubuntu community keep itself sustained? (the website, the servers, etc)?
[08:34] <soothsay> callidusfox: The subversion snapshot should have it.

[08:39] <Some_Person> How do I change my resolution to 1024x768 on the 7.04 Live CD?
[08:39] <Some_Person> On my display, I can't see the whole installer window
[08:39] <xnix_> system > preferences > screen resolution?
[08:39] <xnix_> works for me
[08:40] <reverseblade> Some_Person, try xrandr on command line
[08:40] <Some_Person> I only get 640x480 and 800x600
[08:40] <reverseblade> Some_Person, that's normal
[08:40] <reverseblade> Some_Person, you may be able to get full resolution after the installation
[08:40] <dyrne> Some_Person: try alt-ctrl-f2 then login then sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and select 'vesa' driver which is generic and then just choose defaults for other stuff then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart   maybe
[08:40] <dyrne> Some_Person: f7 gets you back to gui
[08:41] <beruic> xnix_: Can I have it again. Chrashed :S
[08:41] <Some_Person> ok
[08:41] <aryah> perhaps Some_Person needs some different drivers? perhaps trying the binary drivers would help?

[08:44] <soothsay> callidusfox: I can't find binaries for VLC
[08:44] <callidusfox> soothsay: let me see
[08:44] <callidusfox> soothsay: this does dont work http://nightlies.videolan.org/  suing this source, vlc cannot install dependencies
[08:44] <soothsay> callidusfox: That link probably isn't very helpful.
[08:45] <Nema> if i want an older wine to run a certain program, should i use git to accomplish that, or are there better ways to manage INSTALLED wine versions?

[08:47] <Fathefner> hello
[08:47] <aryah> what obscure codec are you two hunting for :)
[08:47] <xnix_> lol
[08:47] <Fathefner> can u instal fulx desktop enviroment over ubuntu
[08:47] <xnix_> exactly
[08:47] <xnix_> what
[08:47] <steventra> you mean flux right?
[08:47] <xnix_> you can install any desktop environment
[08:47] <dgrant> chainlynx: thanks
[08:48] <rubydo> Hi, Ubuntu 7.04 is freezing pretty often for me, usually with Firefox and dailymotion.com open - the system is responsive for a second every few minutes, so I checked 'top' and Firefox and XOrg were the main processes. Anyone any tips?
[08:48] <xnix_> nema what are you trying to do?
[08:48] <dxdt> rubydo: flash is probably having a stroke I would guess.  Dailymotion is TV using flash as the player right?  That would be my guess.  Are you using the real flash from Adobe or the other flash?
[08:48] <Nema> xnix: sorry, wrong channel.  meant it in winehq.
[08:49] <Fathefner> can u install flux over ubuntu
[08:49] <xnix_> lol
[08:49] <aryah> hah
[08:49] <kitche> Fathefner: umm you still have ubuntu but you can use flux
[08:49] <xnix_> fathefner     sudo apt-get install fluxbox
[08:49] <rubydo> dxdt: Yes, I think Dailymotion uses flash - good question on which Flash I'm using - could I have installed it with Automatix?
[08:49] <xnix_> log out and select it from the session manager
[08:49] <Fathefner> cool
[08:50] <Fathefner> does it work in 7.04
[08:50] <xnix_> fluxbox?
[08:50] <xnix_> it should
[08:50] <xnix_> its just a window manager
[08:50] <mh_le> can anyone point me to a review of ubuntu server 7.04, I tried google but didn't find any..
[08:51] <Bandit52240> i have a ac97 soft data fax modem with smartCP. can't get it to work on dial up. can anyone help
[08:51] <Fathefner> can i change it
[08:51] <James> I have an X600Pro and want to know how to change TV Output from NTSC to PAL is this possible and how do I do it?
[08:51] <dxdt> rubydo: I'm not at all familiar with Automatix, I've never used it so I'm not sure.  I would *guess* that it would install the adobe one.  It also helps to make sure you are on the latest version like 9. something.  That could be found out by visiting the install flash website or something.  It should say you have version this and that somewhere
[08:52] <Some_Person> alright
[08:52] <dick_jones> anyone here familiar with the 'at' command?
[08:52] <Some_Person> gdm is now on 1024x768
[08:52] <stefg> mh_le: you need someone else to think for you? sp try yourself, if you don't like it try something different :-)
[08:52] <Some_Person> but i have no mouse cursor!
[08:52] <soothsay> dick_jones: Yes
[08:52] <soothsay> dick_jones: If you have a question you should just ask it
[08:53] <dyrne> Some_Person: never happy are you? :)
[08:53] <Fathefner> would it be like fluxbuntu
[08:53] <Some_Person> well, i need a cursor!
[08:53] <rubydo> dxdt: I guess the basic problem is that I'm not sure which way I installed... I'll try to figure that out. For reference, is the "other" (non-Adobe) flash buggy?
[08:53] <dick_jones> soothsay: any command i schedule with at never occurs
[08:54] <dyrne> Some_Person: what kind of mouse do you have? usb what brand?
[08:54] <xnix_> fathefner you would have to edit config files to get it like fluxbuntu
[08:54] <rendo> Is there a way to find out where all my passwords are stored in Dapper?
[08:54] <Some_Person> logitech
[08:54] <rendo> Like a text file with them listed.
[08:54] <Some_Person> ps/2
[08:54] <xnix_> and change your gtk theme and fluxbox theme
[08:54] <callidusfox> soothsay: I just got mplayer, not sure if it is the latest one but I can play the video, no audio though
[08:54] <Some_Person> the mouse works
[08:54] <Fathefner> xnix, what do u mean edit config
[08:54] <PurpZeY> rendo: I'm gonna theorize and say they a encrypted.
[08:54] <dyrne> Some_Person: are you on another computer?
[08:54] <mh_le> stefg: I agree with your point, but ATM I don't have a CD-R available and I'd like to get some idea on what to expect as installing it and restoring all it's services will be time consuming
[08:54] <Some_Person> theres just no cursor on screen
[08:54] <dxdt> rubydo: it isn't necessarily buggy, but I had issues with it personally when playing flash video like stuff from youtube, etc
[08:54] <soothsay> dick_jones: Can you give an example, just to make sure you are doing it right? You may have a problem with at.allow
[08:55] <rubydo> dxdt: Cool, and removing that and installing the official adobe one helped?
[08:55] <rendo> PurpZey: I hope so.  Rather not have people getting access to my projects. :/
[08:55] <soothsay> callidusfox: If you run it from the command line what does it say? Particularly regarding audio
[08:55] <rendo> Anyone else have an idea if they accessible or not?  Passwords that is.
[08:55] <dxdt> rubydo: for me personally, yes, though that isn't necessarilly the problem you've got of course :)
[08:55] <stefg> mh_le: www.distrowatch.com ?
[08:55] <Some_Person> how can i unhide the pointer
[08:55] <callidusfox> soothsay: let me try
[08:55] <mh_le> stefg: q
[08:55] <dyrne> Some_Person: you have two options. this is easy to fix btw
[08:55] <mh_le> site is down..
[08:55] <rubydo> dxdt: Haha, sure :-) Well, I'll give it a go, thanks.
[08:55] <mh_le> stefg: site is down..
[08:55] <Jack_Sparrow> rendo, It would be silly for them to be in some unencrypted folder somewhere.
[08:56] <Some_Person> alright, what are they?
[08:56] <xnix_> edit ~/.fluxbox/menu to add launchers
[08:56] <rendo> Jack_Sparrow:  I mean by default.  Are they STORED anywhere.
[08:56] <stefg> mh_le: absolutely not
[08:56] <callidusfox> soothsay: what is the command? maplyer movie name ?
[08:56] <callidusfox> soothsay: mplayer movieName
[08:56] <aryah> rendo, which, the system ones? i think thats in /etc/shadow
[08:56] <Neil-> my video on here is awful.. how can I start again? .asx files wont play, and I cant do real either
[08:56] <soothsay> callidusfox: It may have automatically been built without support for audio codecs that you didn't have the developer libraries for
[08:56] <Neil-> dont fancy a reinstal
[08:56] <Some_Person> ubuntu has "show cursor when you hit ctrl"
[08:56] <Some_Person> i have that on
[08:56] <dyrne> Some_Person: either alt-ctrl-f2 again and type 'sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf' and tell my what the mouse settings are and then edit and saver or 2) sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg again using same vesa driver but setup mouse that way
[08:56] <mh_le> stefg: I get a timeout
[08:56] <dick_jones> soothsay: Well if i try something like 'at 3:00pm today' i get the following message; 'warning: commands will be executed using /bin/sh
[08:56] <xnix_> i'd suggest googling fluxbox to learn more
[08:57] <Some_Person> the mouse works
[08:57] <xnix_> everything i know i learned from google
[08:57] <Some_Person> just gdm doesnt display the pointer
[08:57] <soothsay> callidusfox: Yeah, (gmplayer will give you graphical control)
[08:57] <callidusfox> soothsay: "Cannot find codec for audio format 0x162.
[08:57] <callidusfox> "
[08:57] <dyrne> Some_Person: oh. nm then
[08:57] <soothsay> dick_jones: That's a warning, not an error.
[08:57] <rendo> Thank you Aryah, it was in shadow and it is encrypted. :)
[08:57] <Some_Person> (i cant see what the mouse is pointing at)
[08:57] <dick_jones> soothsay: anything i try to schedule next, an echo, mplayer, whatever; never happens
[08:57] <rendo> Thanks everyone else too.
[08:57] <rendo> Have a good day.
[08:57] <Bandit52240> can anyone help me get my modem to work
[08:57] <wonderl00t> can somebody PLEASE tell me how to turn my xclient startup script BACK into the one that is "failsafe gnome"
[08:57] <Some_Person> i need to install ubuntu
[08:57] <Jack_Sparrow> Bandit52240, what kind of a modem?
[08:57] <Some_Person> so i need to see my pointer
[08:58] <soothsay> dick_jones: Output is redirected (you wouldn't see it on your current terminal). Echo would definitely not show output
[08:58] <Bandit52240> ac97 soft data fax modem with smartCP
[08:58] <aryah> you wounldnt expect a unix-like system to leave them just lying around right :)
[08:58] <dyrne> Some_Person: sorry im not too familiar with gnome. maybe someone here can help with cursor settings
[08:58] <dick_jones> soothsay: yes i figured as much but does that also explain mplayer?
[08:58] <jesus__> oloa a todos
[08:58] <Jack_Sparrow> Bandit52240, you are better off getting a real modem,
[08:58] <Some_Person> i tried ubuntu's mouse settings, but that didn't work
[08:58] <dick_jones> soothsay: if i go to a tty terminal, would i see the output there from an echo?
[08:58] <Bandit52240> its what they put in my laptop
[08:59] <Some_Person> is there any way i can restart the live cd without losing everything done on it?
[08:59] <Bandit52240> is there a site that has a list of modems i can get that will work
[08:59] <PurpZeY> Some_Person: I think not, I think the settings are stored in RAM, I might be wrong.
[08:59] <DuckFart> Bandit52240: are you on dialup?
[08:59] <kayef> hi, how do i setup a sound server?when i have an app playing sounds, i cant run another app with sound also and the error msg tells me to try setting up a sound server
[08:59] <Jack_Sparrow> Bandit52240, I had a junk softmodem as well.  I added a pcmcia Xircom and never had it work better
[08:59] <soothsay> dick_jones: No. Try this: echo "touch new_file.txt" | at now+1min
[08:59] <Bandit52240> not at home but when i goto work yes
[09:00] <Some_Person> heres all i want: 1024x768 with a mouse pointer
[09:00] <Some_Person> then i can install
[09:00] <Jack_Sparrow> Bandit52240, I found them online for something like $20
[09:00] <dick_jones> soothsay: giving it a shot, is there a way to force the bash shell?
[09:00] <magnetron> Bandit52240: what kind of modem are we talking about?
[09:01] <Broccoly> can S.M.A.R.T. data be read from USB drive enclosures?
[09:01] <xnix_> Some_Person what kind of mouse do you have
[09:01] <Some_Person> is it this hard? i never had these problems with 5.10, 6.06 (but other major problems), or 6.10!
[09:01] <Some_Person> logitech mouseman
[09:01] <DuckFart> Bandit52240: the easiest modems to work are external modems, Those internal "soft" modems are a pain at best. I have an old Hayes Accrua modem that works beautifully
[09:01] <Some_Person> but the mouse works!
[09:01] <Jack_Sparrow> Bandit52240, You can buy drivers for that but you are better off getting a ream modem not just a com port with Doft drivers
[09:01] <aryah> kayef , are the apps using ALSA for sound output?
[09:01] <Some_Person> its gdm!
[09:01] <xnix_> is it usb
[09:01] <Some_Person> no
[09:01] <Some_Person> but thats irrelevent
[09:01] <Some_Person> ubuntu uses it
[09:01] <xnix_> ok
[09:01] <Some_Person> just no pointer
[09:01] <dick_jones> soothsay: new_file.txt was created
[09:01] <soothsay> dick_jones: You can do bash -c "command"
[09:01] <Jack_Sparrow> DuckFart, externals on a lappy defeat the purpose
[09:01] <Bandit52240> it is a ac97 soft data fax modem with smartCP
[09:01] <xnix_> lol
[09:01] <xnix_> what
[09:01] <Some_Person> i can click
[09:02] <kayef> aryah: i have tried opening youtube and then trying to play a file with mplayer
[09:02] <Some_Person> but i cant see where the pointer is
[09:02] <xnix_> weird
[09:02] <Bandit52240> ok
[09:02] <Bandit52240> so any external would work?
[09:02] <Jack_Sparrow> Virtually, yes
[09:02] <Some_Person> how would i totally shut down gdm/X?
[09:02] <soothsay> dick_jones: I think there is a way to change the default shell but I can't find it. Anyway you probably won't be using bash features so it's not a pressing problem
[09:02] <Bandit52240> ok
[09:02] <DuckFart> Jack_Sparrow: true, but until soft modems get better support, what ya gonna do?! :S
[09:02] <xnix_> ctrl + alt + backspace
[09:03] <xnix_> or alt + F1
[09:03] <soothsay> callidusfox: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=270066&highlight=wmv9&page=4
[09:03] <soothsay> callidusfox: ^ Is that the error you get
[09:03] <xnix_> to get to a command line
[09:03] <Jack_Sparrow> DuckFart, go with pcmcia for the lappy that is a true hardware modem for lappys or externals for a desktop
[09:03] <Some_Person> no that just logged out
[09:03] <Some_Person> i want to completely shut down gdm
[09:03] <DuckFart> Bandit52240: there are a few that might have problems, but I'm not sure what they are - i can't remember. I found Hayes Compatible work really well.

[09:06] <FireDog> wassup
[09:06] <xnix_> push the alt key and the F1 key at the same time

[09:08] <knoppix_> is there a german channel?
[09:08] <xnix_> well control alt f1 or f2 or f3

[09:08] <belfegor> why?
[09:09] <Tarkus> im trying to setup LAMP, and in the ubuntu docs it says to install these packages with any method (ill use synaptic).. apache2, php5-mysql, libapache2-mod-php5, mysql-server. is that all i need to do?
[09:09] <Tarkus> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[09:09] <dick_jones> soothsay: gotcha, thanks again
[09:09] <xnix_> then control alt backspace will shutdown X after you kill gdm
[09:09] <cappy> Uhm .. I accidently just did a "cd /usr/share/applications/; sudo rm *;" .. obviously everything is broken now .. *sigh* ..  any way to reinstall the default files that were there?

[09:11] <cappy> It was actually a "sudo rm programnamehere *", I was trying to delete some extra menus I added that had a space on the end ... obviously didn't work ..
[09:11] <JTARGA-BR> Somebody can help?

[09:12] <soothsay> callidusfox: Totem uses gstreamer so you would need the corresponding gstreamer libraries (I thought you had video working in mplayer. Do you have video in totem?)
[09:12] <jair> hi

[09:12] <Alkivar> ok perhaps i'm not using the appropriate terminology ... but i cant seem to find a how to on how to force the system to rollback to a pre changed config after a session

[09:13] <fridrik> [WIRELESS NETWORKING]   If doing a "dhclient" gives me the MAC address of my wireless card, wouldn't that indicate that the card is supported?
[09:13] <kazol> I cannot boot when I disconnect my second HD. I'm using software RAID-1.
[09:13] <Alkivar> this community rec center PC has to be bullet proof ... so I cant run a Live CD really
[09:13] <jnie> ?question Can anybody help me setting up an internal card-reader, which stopped working in fiesty.
[09:13] <soothsay> callidusfox: I may have to leave. I'll try to leave a message

[09:13] <jay1> anyone ever use ushare
[09:14] <Pawbie> kazol: In Ubuntu?
[09:14] <PurpZeY> tim167: You sure you are using the internal IP? And Did you try using the address that the host machine suggests on the setup page?
[09:14] <kazol> Pawbie: Feisty.
[09:14] <PurpZeY> !anyone | jay1
[09:14] <ubotu> jay1: 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?
[09:14] <pedro_> When I boot my laptop and go to run programs such as Nautilus or gnome-terminal, those programs take literally  close to a minute to startup. This only happens when i dont have a network connection or when the network manager is trying to establish an address... What gives??
[09:14] <JTARGA-BR> OK Pelo
[09:14] <BrendanM> hey, for some reason when I run Worms Armageddon under Wine, the keyboard doesn't respond. The mouse works fine, but not the keyboard. Any suggestions? Why isn't wine taking keyboard input?
[09:14] <tim167> FireDog, i'm just on my own modem, with a switch inbetween...
[09:14] <Pawbie> kazol: Why not just spend $15 on a raid controller and get better performance and less headache instantly?
[09:14] <JTARGA-BR> Can you help-me to made a USPLASH theme to customize my distro based Ubuntu?
[09:14] <FireDog> tim167 software firewalls
[09:14] <jay1> how do i configure ushare upnp server to display genre's for music
[09:15] <kazol> Pawbie: I just need to use software RAID-1 successfully.
[09:15] <tim167> PurpZeY, i read my ip from 'ifconfig' on the second line there is 'inet ...something' is that correct ?
[09:15] <Pelo> pedro_,  are you throttling your cpu frequence to save power ? my might be using the wrong governor,  try ondemand
[09:15] <belfegor> gtk-gnutella works with torents?
[09:15] <fridrik> Does someone know documentation for setting up your /etc/networking/interfaces file?
[09:15] <noelferreira> what can i use in ubuntu to connect remotely and graphically to other computer in ther internet?
[09:15] <tim167> FireDog, i am not aware of having installed any, how can i see if there is one running ?
[09:15] <Pelo> JTARGA-BR, I cannot help you with that,  I am sure you can find info on stuff like that in the forum or by googling
[09:15] <mike01> is there a way to tell what xorg is doing?
[09:15] <pedro_> Pelo: i dont know anything about throttling cpu frequences
[09:15] <FireDog> tim167, if using windoze as one machine it has firewall
[09:15] <mike01> its been idling at 30-50% cpu usage all night
[09:15] <Slart> Pawbie: because if that controller breaks you'll have to get another one.. and they m ight not be on the market any more.. the cheap raid controllers don't give you that much extra performance either.. I switched to software raid so I know I can rebuild it if something breaks
[09:15] <nox-Hand> Could someone help me blacklist the motherboard sound? I have an lspci of hardware here: http://rafb.net/p/ULGmWz90.html  and an lsmod | grep snd here:  http://www.pastebin.ca/507780
[09:15] <Pawbie> mike: /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[09:15] <FireDog> so does mac
[09:16] <PurpZeY> tim167: System --> Pref --> Remote Desktop, when you turn it on, gives you address to access.
[09:16] <tim167> FireDog, no windows in my house ;)
[09:16] <Pelo> pedro_, are you using  powernowd for exemple or speedstep
[09:16] <teamwork> hi folks.  there a way to remove an applet from the panel from the terminal.  like, the gnome-panel config file, maybe?  I added something to it that broke X and I need to remove it.
[09:16] <FireDog> both  ubuntu?
[09:16] <pedro_> Pelo: no
[09:16] <User19> i have problem with the Desktop effects, when i enable it even if i dont check the checkboxes the bar that on top of every window.. that bar that has the X and mimimize buttons dissapeares, only when i disable the effects he comes back . how to fix it?
[09:16] <mike01> hmmm no clues in the log
[09:16] <mike01> does Xorg usually idle at 30
[09:16] <kazol> I'll guess I have to switch back to Windows, since I need to get software RAID-1 to work.
[09:16] <tim167> PurpZey, oh that, yes , but its not an IP, its just the name of my computer...
[09:16] <mike01> to 50% on a dual core?
[09:16] <JTARGA-BR> Pelo I'am looking for many days for this solution, and nothing
[09:17] <Pelo> pedro_, well it was a possibility,  you can try checking in the forum or ask again here periodicaly maybe someone will find an answer
[09:17] <SlimeyPete> mike01: not usually, no
[09:17] <BrendanM> noelferreira, try Terminal Server Client, it works with VNC or Remote Desktop, IIRC
[09:17] <pedro_> Pelo: thanks
[09:17] <dyrne> teamwork: pretty sure its under .gconf/apps/panel/applets
[09:17] <mike01> is there a way to restart it without losing all your windows
[09:17] <Tacroy> I'm getting a screen that says "crc error -- System halted" when I try to verify the Ubuntu CD I burned.
[09:17] <Pelo> JTARGA-BR, goto  www.gnome-look.org ,  dl one of their uspash untar it and copy it , with your own modifications of course
[09:17] <FireDog> tim167, I have had Gnome-RDP working fine over SSH to vnc server
[09:17] <mike01> like in windows how you can kill and restart explorer.exe
[09:17] <Tacroy> I've googled that, but there's nothing useful.
[09:17] <soothsay> callidusfox: I think that you didn't enable support for win32codecs
[09:17] <lauriexxx> hi can i just jump in?
[09:17] <teamwork> thx dyrne
[09:18] <tim167> FireDog, it has worked fine here before too, but it stopped working, dunno why
[09:18] <SlimeyPete> mike01: no, fraid not.

[09:18] <Pelo> mike01,  in windows you can kill explorer.exe from the manager thingy,  and you can strt it up again from the command line
[09:18] <FireDog> tim167, if so, which one?
[09:18] <lauriexxx> yo, just bores here with the wife
[09:18] <tim167> FireDog, um not that i know...just modem and 2 pc's

[09:18] <Greatbears> smart guy, NetdiggerXXX
[09:18] <mike01> yeah and in windows it doesnt kill all your programs with it
[09:18] <FireDog> tim167, are you running the VNC server?
[09:19] <Pelo> novato_br,  what is wrong with imageshack , post there

[09:19] <kazol> User19: What's wrong with Beryl? btw, desktop effects are compiz.
[09:19] <kazol> lauriexxx: In beryl?
[09:19] <mike01> while xorg is idling between 30 and 50%, i figure it needs a restart
[09:20] <crashoverride> hey, y so bored?
[09:20] <SlimeyPete> Skiff: sounds like you screwed up your xorg.conf
[09:20] <FireDog> tim167, try it
[09:20] <teamwork> dyrne, so if I just remove all of the apps folders, I'll kill the applet, right?
[09:20] <Pelo> mike01,  try   sudo xserver restart
[09:20] <User19> kazol i mean the desktop effects that in Preferences-desktop effects
[09:20] <Skiff> SlimeyPete, let me load from backup
[09:20] <papatwilight> speaking of beryl whats the best way get kiba-dock on 7.04
[09:20] <kazol> User19: It's not fully developed-there are bugs. Why don't you use beryl?
[09:20] <miles_> Hi there
[09:20] <Tacroy> I'm running the memory test now, but this is new ram so I really doubt that's the problem.
[09:20] <lauriexxx> kazol: i ve just done a fresh install of feisty, without beryl , and the cube worked for a minute,and then just stopped, got the wobbly windows...
[09:20] <Pelo> papatwilight, nice segway
[09:20] <miles_> How can i check my GPU's temp?
[09:21] <mike01> is superkaramba less stable than karamba?
[09:21] <User19> kazol i had it and it worked well with the desktop effects of ububntu but i rebooted the computer and all got bugged
[09:21] <FireDog> tim167, tightvnc is good. personally I wouldn't bother with Gnome-RDP
[09:21] <Pelo> miles_, check the secton about sensors  http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty

[09:22] <ubotu> kazol: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[09:22] <papatwilight> beryl is better than the desktop effects by far more fetures and it doesnt srew up as much
[09:22] <Slart> just ask, newcomer
[09:22] <PriceChild> papatwilight, desktop effects doesn't have as much enabled by default
[09:22] <Pelo> newcomer, state your problem
[09:22] <kazol> PurpZey: what are you talking about??
[09:22] <dyrne> newcomer: just throw your questions out somone will probably answer
[09:22] <PriceChild> papatwilight, you can enable almost the same things as beryl
[09:22] <miles_> Err
[09:22] <miles_> My GPU is a ATI card
[09:22] <PurpZeY> kazol: My bad...misread
[09:23] <kazol> lauriexxx: Just use beryl. It's more developed, better features, less bugs.
[09:23] <Pelo> miles_,  you are soooooo sscccrrr.......
[09:23] <miles_> ;_;
[09:23] <papatwilight> true but themeing can be a pain
[09:23] <lauriexxx> kazol: any good tuto's you can recomend?
[09:23] <Pelo> miles_,  seriously, check the forum for your hardware model and number,  you might find something there
[09:23] <User19> kazol : to use berryl i need those desktop effects enabled

[09:24] <pisio> Who can help to me install beryl ?
[09:24] <hylje> wine says i'm missing libgl; fglrx is installed and active
[09:24] <meeow> hi can someone please help me with my ubuntu install?
[09:24] <lauriexxx> kazol: thnks mate
[09:24] <hylje> should i go about installing mesa?
[09:24] <soothsay> callidusfox: Maybe I'm wrong about not enabling it. Do you have win32codecs installed? It should install /usr/lib/wma9dmod.dll (I have it)
[09:24] <PriceChild> pisio, #ubuntu-effects
[09:25] <Slart> newcomer: hmm..do you have a windows-installation you're importing stuff from?
[09:25] <Pelo> teamwork, try sudo apt-get remove xpenguins I know it is not the best solution but it should solve the immediate issue
[09:25] <Tacroy> So does no one know what could cause a CRC error on install?
[09:25] <teamwork> Pelo: ok i'll do that.
[09:25] <elazar_> How can I pipe stderr to another program?
[09:25] <pisio> PriceChild: pls help on private ?
[09:25] <Slart> Tacroy: a bad cd probably.. or a bad package on the cd.. it happens
[09:25] <miles_> Waow
[09:25] <Pelo> meeow, what specific issue do you have ?
[09:25] <Tacroy> I checked the ISO's MD5sum and I had my burning program verify that it burnt the CD properly.
[09:25] <PriceChild> pisio, Can't sorry
[09:25] <elazar_> cmd 2|grep 'WARN"
[09:25] <elazar_> ?
[09:25] <pisio> k
[09:25] <miles_> GPU running @ 81C
[09:26] <meeow> pelo: i have a new install and it wont boot unless i boot into recovery mode
[09:26] <Pelo> newcomer,  you are not being ignore but maybe no one currently in knows how to solve your problem
[09:26] <kazol> lauriexxx: np btw, If you might have to tweak a config file if the titlebars of windows disappear. It happened to me, but was very easy to fix.
[09:26] <newcomer> Slart: I'm not importing anything from Windows. the only window open is the installation one from the live CD.
[09:26] <hylje> wine says i'm missing libgl; fglrx is installed and active -- should i go about installing mesa?
[09:26] <Pelo> meeow, was this a straight forward live cd install ?
[09:26] <Some_Person> i'm installing ubuntu, and i need to know how to set the bootloader to install to the ubuntu partition (hda6?)
[09:26] <meeow> pelo: yes
[09:26] <Pelo> hylje,  ask in #winehq

[09:29] <Pelo> newcomer,  look on your desktop , find the icon of the culprit drve and rightlck unmount it
[09:29] <mal1> i just installed feisty fawn, because the upgrade from edgy to feisty screwed everything up. now i tried beryl, and it does not work. google is just telling me that version 0.2.1 of beryl is not working. is that true?
[09:29] <Some_Person> how do i set ubuntu to install the bootloader to hda6 instead of the mbr???
[09:29] <newcomer> Pelo: thanks a lot !
[09:29] <Pelo> Some_Person, see the ammount of traffick , you need to be persistant
[09:29] <bruenig> Some_Person, alternate probably
[09:29] <Some_Person> no, i get the option
[09:29] <mal1> /name malo
[09:29] <Some_Person> i just dont know what to enter
[09:29] <Tacroy> Hrm... are there any known problems with burning the install disk using Nero?
[09:29] <Pelo> !grub > Some_Person  check for a private msg from ubotu  with instructions
[09:29] <darwin81> How can I search for packages from the command line?
[09:30] <soothsay> callidusfox: (BTW you can only use win32codecs if you are on x86 I believe)
[09:30] <Lunar_Lamp> !dvd
[09:30] <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
[09:30] <Some_Person> its set to install to (hd0)
[09:30] <Pelo> Some_Person,  what is the devtree for that hdd ?
[09:30] <Pelo> for that partiton sorry
[09:30] <Some_Person> what do i need to change it to for hda6?
[09:30] <stefg> !apt | darwin81
[09:30] <ZeroA4> Some_Person, but if the bootloader is not im MBR you will know how to boot linux ?
[09:30] <ubotu> darwin81: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[09:30] <DuckFart> Tacroy: Nero worked for me. I burnt Feist 7.04 perfectly.
[09:30] <Pelo> Some_Person,    (hd0,5)
[09:30] <magnetron> darwin81: aptitude search work
[09:30] <soothsay> callidusfox: mplayer -ao alsa file.wmv works for me
[09:30] <blk-majik> anyone have any experience with hp netraid cards in linux? i think its causing ubuntu to fail to install on my server (hp netserver lp2000r)
[09:30] <Some_Person> i know how i will boot it
[09:30] <Pelo> Some_Person,    (hd0,5)
[09:30] <Some_Person> thanks pelo
[09:30] <callidusfox> soothsay: hold on ,reading how to get win32codecs
[09:30] <soothsay> callidusfox: I don't know why that is, but it works

[09:31] <darwin81> magnetron: Would work be the search term?
[09:31] <Tacroy> DuckFart: What size did Nero say the image was? I'm getting around 500 MB, which doesn't seem right.
[09:31] <soothsay> callidusfox: Anyway, it does work. I just tried it. Stepping away for a few minutes. But will read messages addressed to me when I get back.
[09:31] <magnetron> darwin81: yes
[09:31] <DuckFart> Tacroy: What are you trying to burn onto CD?
[09:31] <Tacroy> The server ISO.
[09:32] <blk-majik> i think its about 500mb
[09:32] <DuckFart> Tacroy: sounds about right to me.
[09:32] <callidusfox> soothsay: It does not work for me as the audio of the file that I have is not normal wmv or wma  it is wmv9 High Definition
[09:32] <Tacroy> Grrr.
[09:32] <DuckFart> Tacroy: have you tried slwoing down your burn speed?
[09:32] <darwin81> What lightweight file manager is most Nautilus like?
[09:32] <__mikem> slart, I am getting errors when trying to access the seveas repositories, it says that they have a bad gpg key
[09:32] <DuckFart> slowing*
[09:32] <Tacroy> It's only going at 4x anyway.
[09:33] <Tacroy> And I had Nero verify the CD.
[09:33] <__mikem> so do you know another place where I can get dvds
[09:33] <__mikem> to work
[09:33] <mal1> hello. just a little question. does beryl 0.2.1 actually work with feisty fawn? ( ATi 9700, proprietary drivers) thank you
[09:33] <Pelo> !torrents > __mikem
[09:33] <soothsay> callidusfox: I downloaded the file (iguana?). It works for me with -ao alsa and win32codecs
[09:33] <Pelo> mal1,   ask in #beryl
[09:33] <Tacroy> Yeah I think I'm gonna cancel this memtest.
[09:33] <__mikem> Pelo, no I want to play dvds not download them
[09:33] <PriceChild> mal1, yes
[09:33] <SudoBash> you have to install you ATI drivers properly before you can use beryl
[09:33] <miles_> So, my ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 is running at 81C and idle. What are my options?
[09:33] <callidusfox> soothsay: yes iguana
[09:33] <Gerro> my laptop is burning my fingers to type on it, how do I cool it down!?
[09:33] <DuckFart> Tacroy: mmmm... that's a bit of a puzzler. How many times have you tried to burn to CD? Sometimes it just *doesn't burn right*
[09:34] <callidusfox> soothsay: hold on, let me check on those win43codecs
[09:34] <netdiggerxxx> 25
[09:34] <miles_> Gerro, do you have a ATI card?
[09:34] <netdiggerxxx> you?
[09:34] <FreedomFighter> It has been said that you are telling the filesystem you want to put whatever is inside the device (or in this case, the ISO image) in the folder you indicate (the mount point), netdiggerxxx
[09:34] <Tacroy> This is the second time, but with the same CD (it's rewriteable)
[09:34] <Gerro> miles_: no a nvidia card
[09:34] <__mikem> pricechild, I need help playing dvds
[09:34] <Greatbears> 46
[09:34] <mal1> the drivers are working though. i'll ask in #beryl then ..  thx
[09:34] <Tacroy> The first time I was using a sketchtacular cd-rom drive from an old, dead Optiplex, and I got the same error.
[09:34] <PriceChild> __mikem, please don't direct your questions to people. Ask your question then people will answer you if they know the answer
[09:34] <SudoBash> it will work
[09:35] <blk-majik> Tacroy: if your having trouble with the cds, try this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/WindowsServerNetboot
[09:35] <callidusfox> soothsay: from the link you gave me https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html   where specifically do I look ?
[09:35] <miles_> Gerro, my laptop is burning too... it seems the GPU's in fault
[09:35] <blk-majik> only takes about 15 mins to setup
[09:35] <DuckFart> Tacroy: check for fingerprints and dust on the CD and try to use CD-R instead of CD-RW, Don't know why, but CD-RW is still a dodgy method of burning. I try to avoid CD-RW if at all possible
[09:35] <Tacroy> It's clean, I made sure of that.
[09:35] <soothsay> callidusfox: It should just be a matter of enabling multiverse repository
[09:35] <Tacroy> And oooh windows netboot.
[09:35] <blk-majik> i did it lastnight for my server. very nice option
[09:36] <callidusfox> soothsay: I think they are enabled by default. And once it is enabled, how do I get the codec ?
[09:36] <Tacroy> Great, it needs a floppy...
[09:36] <belfegor> how can i open samba??
[09:36] <Gerro> miles_: I'm waiting on order of arctic silver 5 and  aluminum double fan desktop cooling station, I need to know how to get the fan to run more often
[09:36] <blk-majik> you only need a floppy if your network card doesnt support pxe booting
[09:36] <blk-majik> most cards do these days
[09:36] <Pelo> belfegor, if you dont, have a menu for it  try the terminal with   samba
[09:36] <Tacroy> Oh, okay.
[09:36] <Gerro> miles_: the heat is fine until i plug it in to charge then it stops saving power yet won't turn the fan up!
[09:36] <Tacroy> Yeah, this one should.
[09:36] <belfegor> doesnt work
[09:36] <blk-majik> but, you can download the pxe boot cd if you dont have a floppy =)
[09:37] <belfegor> command not found
[09:37] <belfegor> saiz
[09:37] <soothsay> callidusfox: The package name is w32codes
[09:37] <Tacroy> Heheh.
[09:37] <soothsay> callidusfox: The package name is w32codecs
[09:37] <miles_> Gerro, so that would be a ACPI problem?
[09:37] <aryah> so , let me try one final time, its not that horribly important anyways. Anyone have an idea why my firestarter might be detecting hits from my own computer on port 16680 , i think when azureus is open, while thats not the port azureus is set to work on, and while it works perfectly regardless? Its just annoying to have that icon turn red all the time for no real reason
[09:37] <Tacroy> Hmm... but the network install is Breezy, not the newest one.
[09:38] <Tacroy> Whatever, I don't think I really care that much.
[09:38] <belfegor> i just installed with synaptic
[09:38] <aryah> simply, what possible service might be running by default on port 16680?
[09:38] <blk-majik> just change breezy to foxxy
[09:38] <varka> callidusfox: !medibuntu
[09:38] <blk-majik> err... fiesty
[09:38] <Pelo> aryah, if you don'T get an answer here there is a firestarter channel
[09:38] <ian13> ubuntu doesn't seem to want to use it's swap partition - its at /dev/sda3 - any ideas how to point it there? (system monitor says 0 bytes of swap available - and is running on ram :P)
[09:38] <varka> !medibuntu | callidusfox
[09:38] <ubotu> callidusfox: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/
[09:38] <callidusfox> soothsay: strange, I do not see it in synaptic. And I think that multiverse is enabled in Feisty
[09:38] <fridrik> My appreciation will be eternal for the person that shows me how to format /etc/network/interfaces files for wireless networks.
[09:38] <Torahteen> Oh...my...gosh...
[09:38] <Gerro> miles_: i guess it is acpi problem, doesn't acpi do cpu interrupts though?
[09:38] <soothsay> !w32codecs | callidusfox
[09:38] <ubotu> callidusfox: Seveas has a popular 3rd party repository for several packages, including the win32 codecs: see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - See also !Codecs
[09:39] <Pelo> aryah,  and I got rid of firestarter becaseu of that icon,   firestarter is just a frontend anyway,  the real firewall is netfilter
[09:39] <Torahteen> 1286 people in room?!
[09:39] <Gerro> miles_: I have a dual core laptop

[09:40] <ian13> ubuntu doesn't seem to want to use it's swap partition - its at /dev/sda3 - any ideas how to point it there? (system monitor says 0 bytes of swap available - and is running on ram :P)
[09:40] <Pelo> Torahteen, well automounting of what specificaly ?
[09:40] <fridrik> I think GNOME's way of a "minimal interface" that doesn't ask the user for too much is really the wrong way to go.
[09:40] <xnix_> ian how much ram do you have
[09:40] <Jowen> Could someone help me get my D-Link  WUA-1340 Wireless USB addapter working on my Laptop?
[09:40] <ian13> xnix_ 512mb, and i have a 1gb swap
[09:40] <Torahteen> Pelo: Automounting of my USB flash drive
[09:41] <soothsay> Why did the w32codes info disappear off the Restricted formats page?
[09:41] <fridrik> The Networking pane doesn't ask for anything, which is exactly why I can't configure it to connect to the Internet, except dedicating a weekend to it.
[09:41] <soothsay> *w32codecs
[09:41] <ian13> xnix_ i just seem to have broken something somewhere
[09:41] <xnix_> did you check your fstab
[09:41] <Pelo> Torahteen, should work automaticaly,  check the forum to see if there are issues with your model
[09:41] <ian13> soothsay: medibuntu took over it
[09:41] <Torahteen> Pelo: Check the forums where?
[09:41] <Pelo> Torahteen,  www.ubuntuforums.com
[09:41] <soothsay> ian13: Took over what?
[09:42] <Torahteen> Oh wait, not just my USB flash drive, my iPod
[09:42] <Shaffox> what 's the command to go in root ? And yeah I know it isn't smart to do it blabla
[09:42] <soothsay> ian13: Why would they remove that info from the wiki?
[09:42] <ian13> soothsay: what you were talking about, w32codecs
[09:42] <fridrik> Shaffox, su.
[09:42] <Torahteen> Shaffox: enter sudo before using a command
[09:42] <tim167> can someone point me to a good howto for TightVNC ? preferably an explicit step-by step tutorial , i'm new to this... thanks
[09:42] <Torahteen> Shaffox: or su
[09:42] <ian13> Shaffox: sudo su
[09:42] <xnix_> sudo bash
[09:43] <callidusfox> soothsay: reading all the links, I still cant get Win32codecs, none of the guide have it
[09:43] <Shaffox> ian13, thanks
[09:43] <fridrik> How do you correctly configure your wireless network settings?
[09:43] <Pelo> Torahteen, a not quite the same thing,  I know you can use amorak or gtkpod as a itune replacement for ipods , there is also a special swith in  menu >system > prefs > removable media that you might want to check
[09:43] <soothsay> callidusfox: Sorry, it used to be on the RestrictedFormats page. Someone has apparently taken it off
[09:43] <DuckFart> Shaffox: sudo -i   would do it, but you'll only have yourself to blame...
[09:43] <Ayabara> anyone know where one can turn to get some help with imagemagick?

[09:44] <CheshireViking> callidusfox, win32codecs are avilable in seveas's repository
[09:44] <ian13> how do i tell ubuntu where to find the swap parition
[09:44] <PriceChild> !fstab | ian13

[09:45] <Jowen> Could someone help me get my new wireless USB working for Ububtu?
[09:45] <ian13> PriceChild: swap is defined in there correctly i believe - unless the UUID has changed, but ive no idea how to check that
[09:45] <Pelo> The_Machine, I could direct you to an easy way to try in ubuntu , but I don't know where te restricted driver app is in kubuntu sorry
[09:45] <meeow> Pelo: still not working :(
[09:46] <The_Machine> Pelo - it's the same everything
[09:46] <Torahteen> How do I manually mount a USB device?
[09:46] <The_Machine> let's just say i'm using ubuntu
[09:46] <Pelo> meeow, what were  we doing already ?
[09:46] <The_Machine> kubuntu is just KDE w/ ubuntu.
[09:46] <PriceChild> !uuid | ian13
[09:46] <The_Machine> Pelo - what would you suggest in ubuntu?
[09:46] <ubotu> ian13: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell:  blkid  (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[09:46] <dyrne> Torahteen: 1) plug it in. 2) dmesg | tail and look for sda or sdb or whatnot 3) sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/usb   assuming sda showed up  you can add -o options to the mount command
[09:46] <xnix_> the_machine did you install nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel-common
[09:46] <meeow> X800XL video card and the system wont boot unless i boot into recovery mode and manually do a startx
[09:46] <Pelo> The_Machine, well in menu > system > admin > restricted driver you just click the options and it will check your hardware and see if the repos have a matching driver
[09:47] <callidusfox> Seveas: I must be blind then as from the link example these are the links: deb http://mirror3.ubuntu.com/ feisty-seveas extras freenx

[09:47] <soothsay> callidusfox: Don't use the example URLs.
[09:47] <Pelo> The_Machine, the basic problem is that the menus don,t match and I am very gui oriented
[09:47] <Seveas> callidusfox, no they are not
[09:47] <Seveas> there is no mirror3.ubuntu.com
[09:47] <soothsay> callidusfox: Use the one below 'The mirrors'
[09:47] <Torahteen> Dyrne, did dmesg | tail, and cannot find sdX.

[09:48] <Pelo> meeow, but you can start x and get the gui working ?  ok then it is just a matter of startying X automatical,  check the forum for    X won'T start ,  you should find an easy fix,  I just don'T know it personnaly
[09:48] <The_Machine> Pelo - i appreicate the help
[09:48] <CheshireViking> callidusfox, http://mirror3.ubuntulinux.nl/dists/feisty-seveas/all/ use the sources in the white box
[09:48] <The_Machine> Pelo - i am beyond that step in searching for a fix
[09:49] <callidusfox> CheshireViking: soothsay Seveas got it now
[09:49] <callidusfox> soothsay: geting w32codecs
[09:49] <soothsay> Someone should edit that page and put a server that is obviously wrong
[09:49] <Pelo> The_Machine, looking in te kubuntu package manager you can problaby search for nvidia and see what is installed,   or not,  reinstalling the repos driver will probably override the otherone
[09:50] <soothsay> Ah, it uses wiki uses Launchpad creds. I'll do dit

[09:51] <callidusfox> soothsay: it works !
[09:51] <callidusfox> soothsay: but mplayer gives me the error that too many packages are in the buffer while playing
[09:57] <soothsay> soothsay: Error or warning?
[09:57] <Seveas> soothsay, mirror3.ubuntu.com is obviously wrong, but he uses a proxy that makes it look half-right
[09:57] <soothsay> Seveas: Why is it obviously wrong?
[09:57] <soothsay> Seveas: It should be something like example.com
[09:57] <callidusfox> soothsay: Error
[09:57] <callidusfox> soothsay: also audio is a bit behind the video

[09:57] <Ayabara> I need to rename photos I've taken using exif data. Any tips on an app that helps me do this?
[09:57] <callidusfox> soothsay: no, just a error pops up, I can close it
[09:57] <aoirthoir> anyone know how to set VNC to use a specific port?
[09:57] <callidusfox> soothsay: with this command "-ao alsa "  audio is synched fine
[09:57] <dyrne> aoirthoir: vncserver :3  or whatever
[09:57] <soothsay> callidusfox: The sample I have doesn't produce any such error.
[09:57] <soothsay> callidusfox: Okay good. Anyway I gotta go
[09:57] <dyrne> aoirthoir: not sure if you can do vncserver ::443 or something though
[09:57] <callidusfox> soothsay: that happens when I fast forward search
[09:57] <Tacroy> Grrr.
[09:57] <callidusfox> soothsay: thanks for the help !
[09:57] <Tacroy> I don't think this thing wants to have an OS put on it.
[09:57] <Tacroy> When I try to do the netboot, tftpd32 dies.
[09:57] <aoirthoir> btw dyrne aye I am thinking of the TCP/IP ? port ..like how webservers use :80 but you can change it to be something else...
[09:57] <DuckFart> Ayabara: are you wanting to change the EXIF data itself?
[09:57] <soothsay> callidusfox: I deleted the file now so I can't test anymore but when I fast forwarded I don't think there was any error (was using subversion trunk mplayer without GUI)
[09:57] <soothsay> callidusfox: Anyway, sorry I gotta go

[09:59] <Hobl> is there any way to recover it?
[09:59] <ian13> i have tried a couple of java apps (moneydance and limewire_, but neither seem to work in ubuntu. i just get a plain grey window. i have no idea how ubuntu handles java or if i need to install anything. anyone know?
[10:00] <hornblower> you probably need the sun jre installed to use those
[10:00] <Pelo> hornblower, unfortunately,  the older users here have been on linux long enough that they never had to use it
[10:00] <Ayabara> DuckFart, ah. I'll take a look. thanks
[10:00] <Hobl> try installing the java runtime? is it in synaptic?
[10:00] <DuckFart> no probs. enjoy :)
[10:00] <ian13> Hobl: well, there is no package called java
[10:00] <Pelo> ian13,   in syanptic enable the backport repos and then search for sun java
[10:00] <Hobl> jre?
[10:00] <hornblower> jre = java runtime environment
[10:01] <Pelo> !java | ian13
[10:01] <ubotu> ian13: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[10:01] <Hobl> install sun-java5-jre
[10:01] <xnix_> lol
[10:01] <hornblower> after you run it youll need to type 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure --config java'
[10:01] <ian13> ubotu: thanks :)
[10:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about thanks :) - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[10:02] <ubotu> Yum! Err, I mean, APT!
[10:02] <ph8> ah - assuming i haven't installed X
[10:02] <Pelo> there we go

[10:02] <wereHamster> can someone please check if wine or any of its libraries use DT_RPATH?
[10:02] <Hobl> try sudo?
[10:02] <null> you rang?
[10:02] <ph8> Hobl: I have a server running standard ubuntu, without any graphical environment - do you still think it'd be painful?
[10:02] <Hobl> so, is there any way to recover data off an ntfs partition thats been deleted?
[10:02] <xnix_> lol
[10:03] <Pelo> wereHamster, you'Re more likely to get an asnwer in #winehq
[10:03] <Hobl> probably not ph8
[10:03] <Pelo> Hobl, I would not think so
[10:03] <xnix_> ubuntu server
[10:03] <Hobl> damn it :(
[10:03] <hornblower> Hobl: call the NSA, they can do it

[10:04] <hornblower> here's my posted question about the migration assistant: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=453621
[10:04] <xnix_> dont run java apps
[10:04] <xnix_> simple
[10:04] <Pelo> Tacroy, please this is a family oriented chanel
[10:04] <xnix_> lol
[10:04] <Tacroy> Huh?
[10:04] <ian13> xnix_: well, i rather like moneydance :P
[10:05] <Tacroy> Ohh, huh, that has a crass word in it.
[10:05] <sivik> !cpkg
[10:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cpkg - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:05] <xnix_> what is moneydance
[10:05] <Ayabara> DuckFart, exiv2 was just what I was looking for. thanks :-)
[10:05] <sivik> how do i install a cpkg file
[10:05] <Hobl> i see a few windows programs to recover the data
[10:05] <Tacroy> Well anyway, what could cause a CRC error during install?
[10:05] <Hobl> looks like ill be dualbooting in a few ours
[10:05] <Hobl> disk burn stuffed up can cause crc error
[10:05] <Tacroy> That doesn't have anything to do with a CD?
[10:05] <DuckFart> Ayabara: glad you found what you're looking for! :D
[10:05] <xnix_> oh moneydance looks nice
[10:05] <SioxerNic> Hey :) I am new to Linux and all :) My X wont give my Direct Rendering...
[10:05] <Hobl> happened to me a lot trying to burn dvds on 16x
[10:05] <stefg> Tacroy: bad CD, bad or dirty drive
[10:05] <xnix_> i might have to eat my words
[10:05] <Tacroy> I'm netbooting, there is no CD involved at all.
[10:06] <Hobl> bad download
[10:06] <ian13> hobl: everytime you write data to your disk you lower the chances of recovery
[10:06] <sivik> SioxerNic, what kind of video card
[10:06] <Hobl> does it say what file?
[10:06] <Hobl> yeah i know
[10:06] <Pelo> xnix_,try grisbi less candy but no java
[10:06] <xnix_> netboot ftw

[10:06] <Hobl> slim
[10:06] <xnix_> interesting
[10:06] <Hobl> try a different server for the iso?
[10:07] <ph8> ian13: What happens if you type 'which java' or 'env java' - or both, from the command line?

[10:07] <ed1t> where can i get jdk-1.6.tar.gz?
[10:07] <Pelo> ian13, unintall your java apps,  uninstall the java packages from synaptic, to make sure you get them all, then start from scratch by installing sun-java6-jre
[10:07] <ph8> abo: If it's corrupt - there's data missing..
[10:07] <Hobl> man i cant believe i accidently formatted the 250gb instead of the 40 :D

[10:12] <kishan> no one today here
[10:12] <stefg> Tacroy: generally speaking that smells like hardware trouble... flaky cable or connectors, NIC that don#t sit tightly in their slots and so on. Can you rule that out?

[10:13] <kishan> lol pelo

[10:13] <Tacroy> This is all new hardware, so I don't think it's the problem.
[10:13] <Tacroy> The NICs are integrated, so that's not the problem.
[10:13] <kishan> pelo:can u help i am unable to see the network manager icon in the panel
[10:13] <Tacroy> It's possible that there's something wrong with the hard drive, but it detects properly in the bios.
[10:13] <stefg> Tacroy: already proven new hardware?
[10:13] <SioxerNic> HOT -> Driver for what?
[10:13] <Pelo> hot fist I 've heard of it,  I know nvidia released some a couple of days ago but not avi,  but then I haven't been on diggs in about 15 minutes
[10:13] <SioxerNic> *What versions
[10:14] <Tacroy> Nope, not proven.
[10:14] <Tacroy> But I don't even know where the CRC error is happening.
[10:14] <HOT> ati , i just saw it in software update, new fglxr
[10:14] <ph8> anyone know is 8800GTX is supported properly? (nvidia)?
[10:14] <ph8> There's no way i'm buying ATI ever again
[10:14] <SioxerNic> I hope 9200SE is supported :S
[10:14] <ph8> is 9200SE new?
[10:14] <neverblue> lizardmenke, ugh, what does this do :/
[10:14] <ph8> what's the hottest nvidia card atm?
[10:14] <SioxerNic> No ,...
[10:14] <SioxerNic> More than 3 years old :P
[10:14] <Pelo> kishan,   the network manager is displayed in the notification area, you'll have to right click the pannel, select add to pannel and select the "notification area" to add to the pannel
[10:14] <ph8> i thought 8800gtx was the best
[10:14] <ph8> ah :p
[10:14] <neverblue> lizardmenke, was that post maybe for someone else?
[10:14] <PriceChild> ph8, 8800
[10:15] <ian13> pelo: completely removed, and then installed, and still nothing

[10:20] <Pelo> meeow,   for what architecture ?
[10:20] <SioxerNic> Same here siebaz
[10:20] <lizardmenke> neverblue: yup and on the other side
[10:20] <linux_kid> elisse, ok
[10:20] <neverblue> the other end is fine
[10:20] <SioxerNic> ATI is the devil.. Together with M${
[10:20] <Jowen> Ok, thanks elisee. What if I want to run a driver for my wireless card?
[10:20] <neverblue> i cannot open the port forward on the gateway
[10:20] <SeveredCross> :)
[10:20] <neverblue> so I cannot tunnel
[10:20] <elisee> Jowen> you want to run a driver through wine? why? do you know exactly what wine is ?
[10:20] <audiowork> i have ATI x1600 want to try this distro of linux (been a long time) think i will ahve issues?
[10:20] <DuckFart_> damn, i just realised my proper nick is "still in use" and I can't log back in under my own name. Any OPS able to kick DuckFart out so I can login. Thanks...
[10:20] <SeveredCross> audiowork: You may or may not.
[10:20] <SiebaZ> xorg log says something with the agp module is wrong -.-
[10:20] <sam__> ubuntu wont let me set the refresh rate to 85hz
[10:21] <SeveredCross> People's mileages vary.
[10:21] <lizardmenke> neverblue: that's a prob
[10:21] <HOT> i can tell you i got an x300 and an x1300 to work
[10:21] <linux_kid> elisse, i dont have that in either alacarte or in the menu... could you tell me the app?  (look in alacarte)
[10:21] <neverblue> ;)
[10:21] <elisee> Jowen> wine just runs windows programs under linux, but you can't access material that way, you need the driver for linux, try to search for it in the ubuntu documentation wiki or google for it
[10:21] <SeveredCross> I got my x1400 to work easy.
[10:21] <Jowen> I'm told that to run my D-Link Wireless USB I need to install the drivers through 'wine', elisee. Is that nor correct?
[10:21] <neverblue> thats why I worded my question a particular way :)
[10:21] <SeveredCross> That is wrongg.
[10:21] <SiebaZ> fglrx doesnt work here cause i have a 9200se
[10:21] <meeow> HOT : how?
[10:21] <SeveredCross> You may need to use ndiswrapper
[10:21] <neverblue> when I try and connect to my home system (via VNC), I noticed yesterday I was promted on my home system to allow the connection, can that be shut off, via cli (sshing into it) ?
[10:22] <HOT> meeow: i just enabled the restricted driver and rebooted , seems to handle beryl ok
[10:22] <meeow> that didnt work with mine.
[10:22] <HOT> no wait, actually that isnt true, i had to write a new gnome session script
[10:22] <naknak987> could someone tell me why, after installing beryl, one of my panels are gone, but things like windows still scale to were the missing panel was
[10:22] <elisee> linux_kid> oh well I guess I installed a package for customization
[10:22] <elisee> linux_kid> did you changed it manually ?
[10:22] <stefg> !effects | naknak987
[10:22] <ubotu> naknak987: For help with Beryl or Compiz desktop effects, please go to #ubuntu-effects.
[10:22] <taime1> Openoffice thinks my personal settings are 'locked'...how can i fix this?
[10:22] <Pelo> naknak987, ask in #beryl
[10:22] <HOT> naknak987: use beryl manager to "reload windows decorator"
[10:22] <Pelo> taime1, ask in #openoffice.org
[10:23] <Molluck> !u billstergs
[10:23] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about u billstergs - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:23] <dyrne> naknak987: can you pkill gnome-panel and get it back or does it not appear at all?
[10:23] <melina> I installed the language-pack for my language. The switch to my language will be automatic in my next reboot?
[10:23] <elisee> Jowen> hmm I don't think so || could someone help him? is it possible to run a wireless card driver through wine ?
[10:23] <elisee> at least it seems weird to me jowen
[10:23] <HOT> no
[10:23] <linux_kid> elisee, no, i installed ubuntu studio, but then uninstalled it, and the gnome-splash is still ajusted for ubuntu studio
[10:23] <SeveredCross> YOu can't run a driver through Wine.
[10:23] <HOT> you need native linux drivers
[10:23] <SeveredCross> Windows networking drivers are usable through ndiswrapper.
[10:23] <Pelo> melina,  is chouldhave swithed already I recall, but you can try restarting x  crtl-ald-backspace
[10:23] <SeveredCross> Which is what he needs.
[10:23] <naknak987> dyrne: i cant see it, click it or anything
[10:23] <stefg> taime1: you might have a permissions-problem, didi you copy these settings over, or use openoffice with sudo?
[10:23] <elisee> linux_kid> ok gonna look for an art package to reinstall
[10:23] <SeveredCross> He's trying to use a USB wireless dongle.
[10:23] <melina> Pelo: aw thanks!
[10:24] <ubuntu_> hi room
[10:24] <ubuntu_> woops
[10:24] <taime1> stefg: i did neither
[10:24] <ubuntu_> brb
[10:24] <linux_kid> elisee, i found the splash tool in synatic, all done :)
[10:24] <dyrne> naknak987: HOT's suggestion seems promsing. id try killing it. it should respawn ok
[10:24] <elisee> linux_kid> ok :)
[10:24] <Ubuntul0v3r> uh oh
[10:24] <lizardmenke> neverblue: can't you just shut it off when at home?
[10:25] <PurpZeY> My gaim seems to just crash randomly without warning, when I am in idle or not...It was working perfectly for over a week, anyone have a suggestions?
[10:25] <Ubuntul0v3r> what was that?
[10:25] <linux_kid> elisee, where are the splash files locatted by default?
[10:25] <neverblue> lizardmenke, shut off what?
[10:25] <stefg> taime1: check if your ~/ .openoffice.org2 folder belongs to you. (ctrl-h) in nautilus to show the hidden files/folders)
[10:25] <neverblue> lizardmenke, i mean, its prompting at the other end (connect to) to allow me access

[10:31] <mike01> http://www.vmware.com/download/download.do?downloadGroup=WKST-60-LX i wish someone had posted that link for me before
[10:31] <lolziac> it works very slow with generic
[10:31] <audiowork> server edition has a gui as well correct
[10:31] <anahata> ok you guys... do i have to restart to get linux to see my scanner?
[10:31] <lolziac> to open an application  takes ages
[10:31] <PriceChild> thanks anahata
[10:31] <lolziac> ??!!! wierd
[10:31] <Nub> que viva chavez, que viva bieeeen lejos!
[10:31] <sacater> er
[10:31] <anahata> sure
[10:31] <stefg> ... very efficient.... one !ops, 3 bans :-\
[10:31] <elisee> lolziac> ok well, you might have to install the package "linux-686-smp", seems to be what you're looking for
[10:31] <buzzinfly> have followed that, i have wvdial seeing a modem at /dev/ttySL0 but complains about their being no carrier, and the daemon slmodemd says "error: period size 48 is not supported by playback (64)."
[10:32] <Seveas> well well
[10:32] <anahata> lol
[10:32] <Seveas> seems like hapy hour in trollbar
[10:32] <v3n0m`> what should I use for analog TV channel scanning (I assume not Kaffeine)..?
[10:32] <lolziac> is that still available elisee
[10:32] <lolziac> ??
[10:32] <elisee> lolziac> dunno if it'll help, but do some more research over the Internet
[10:32] <Seveas> v3n0m`, mythtv?
[10:32] <PriceChild> !info tvtime | v3n0m`
[10:32] <ubotu> v3n0m`: tvtime: A high quality television application. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.2-0.2ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 678 kB, installed size 1932 kB
[10:32] <LjL> v3n0m`, zapping, tvtime...?
[10:32] <Seveas> mc44, yum!
[10:32] <lolziac> i did elisee nothing usefull
[10:32] <lolziac> :S
[10:32] <lolziac> for that i came here :)
[10:32] <anahata> ok i'm doing well, in the hardware database on my computer, right? to try to find my scanner and connect it?
[10:33] <rjohnson> You shouldn't have to install anything to enable SMP support
[10:33] <v3n0m`> Seveas, PriceChild, LjL: thanks, I'll check those out
[10:33] <elisee> rjohnson> oh, maybe you could help him ;)
[10:33] <rjohnson> I can try!
[10:33] <HOT> ok new ati drivers didnt explode my laptop
[10:33] <rjohnson> Should be enabled by default on the new kernel
[10:34] <lolziac> rjohnson, elisee is there any newer generic kernel
[10:34] <Seveas> HOT, nice, they improved their drivers then ;)
[10:34] <elisee> i was just wondering, first time I come here, when there are ubuntu "official meetings", the channel is +m ?
[10:34] <lolziac> than the default one
[10:34] <rjohnson> do a dmesg | grep CPU and see how many are showing up
[10:34] <elisee> lolziac> don't know :/
[10:34] <rjohnson> I'm running 2.6.20-15-generic
[10:34] <PriceChild> elisee, meetings go in a different channel. This is a support channel only
[10:34] <anahata> ooooh
[10:34] <rjohnson> I think that's the newest
[10:34] <HOT> Seveas: yea but not release notes, nothing obviously new, it did change my xorg.conf though

[10:35] <eyessssss> do I need a firewall, anti-virus, anti-spyware tools in Ubuntu?
[10:35] <PriceChild> !virus | eyessssss
[10:35] <ubotu> eyessssss: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21
[10:35] <PriceChild> !firewall | eyessssss
[10:35] <DVS01> argh i hate it when i press ctrl+alt+backspace instead of ctrl+alt+l
[10:35] <ubotu> eyessssss: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[10:35] <PurpZeY> If I am trying to use gdb to track a crash/bug, do I need that terminal window to stay running in the backround?
[10:35] <Seveas> DVS01, rofl :)
[10:35] <eyessssss> thanks PriceChild
[10:35] <HOT> DVS01: check forums, i found a little script that disables that
[10:36] <DVS01> hehe
[10:36] <DVS01> i still need it.. i just need to press it less
[10:36] <verlaine> A script that disable ctrl+alt+backspace?
[10:36] <HOT> yes to stop x restarting
[10:37] <verlaine> I do when going to full screen in VMWare!
[10:37] <PurpZeY> Does gdb need to run in a terminal to pick up a log of a crash?
[10:37] <anahata> i need help with my scanner
[10:37] <Seveas> verlaine, Option "DontZap"
[10:37] <Seveas> put that in org.conf to disable c-a-bksp
[10:37] <anahata> how can i make linux see the scanner if i plugged it in *after* the livecd was running?
[10:37] <stefg> the civilized way to retart X is 'sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart# anyway
[10:37] <lolziac> okk guys rjohnson and elisee thank u for ur help,ill try installing linux-686-smp, cuz i thought they are not available any more
[10:37] <mayorbuttes> Hey guys. Tried installing ircd-hybrid today at school. After messing about with it, I ended up getting a "no route to host" error when trying to connect.
[10:38] <anahata> it shows a second device but with no information
[10:38] <elisee> mayorbuttes> internet connection was working?
[10:38] <anahata> it would take me 20 to 30 minutes to restart this livecd
[10:38] <mayorbuttes> elisee: it was on a private network.
[10:38] <mayorbuttes> No connection to the net
[10:38] <elisee> anahata> maybe you should simply reboot
[10:38] <elisee> mayorbuttes> ok and you had an IRC server running ?
[10:38] <anahata> alright it's just gonna take 20 minutes
[10:38] <rjohnson> lolziac> just do a "dmesg | grep CPU" and see if multiple processors are showing up
[10:38] <anahata> brb
[10:38] <mayorbuttes> elisee. Yes.
[10:38] <v3n0m`> that tvtime app is awesome, but no audio yet =/

[10:39] <PurpZeY> Do I need gdb running in a background terminal to get an error log?
[10:39] <heroin> I installed ubuntu and when i rebooted it says ERROR LODING OPERATING SYSTEM... wtf?
[10:39] <lolziac> srry
[10:39] <elisee> mayorbuttes> so could be a network configuration error, do you do anything else on your network? filesharing or so is working?
[10:39] <bkudria> i'm in the proccess of planning a linux server (using ubuntu server os).  can anyone reccommend a webmail app?
[10:39] <Some_Person> how do i get all the drives off my desktop?
[10:40] <mayorbuttes> elisee: ftp and ssh were both working/.
[10:40] <elisee> heroin> bad luck, maybe you should try again
[10:40] <zoom> hi *
[10:40] <rjohnson> bkudria> I use Zimbra, it is more than webmail but easy to set up and has a ton of built in features
[10:40] <SirronTM> The "Desktop Effects" won't work because I don't have the composite extension thing, but I had to disable it to install my graphics driver... anyone got any ideas?
[10:40] <heroin> well i installed ubuntu left a 10GB FAT32 partition and tried to install windows on it.. and now it doesnt wanne boot any ideas?
[10:40] <elisee> mayorbuttes> ok, maybe iptables / firestarter needs to be configured to allow input or output connections on tcp 6667 / IRC port?
[10:41] <Seveas> SirronTM, yes, sue ATI :)
[10:41] <mc44> SirronTM: which card do you have?
[10:41] <bkudria> rjohnson: will zimbra work with dovecot?  or, what servers does it work with?
[10:41] <Some_Person> hello? how do i make it so the drives aren't on the desktop?
[10:41] <mayorbuttes> elisee: Ah, that would sound about right. Where can I read up on those?
[10:41] <mc44> Seveas: or just wait for these open source drivers we are getting real soon now :P
[10:41] <SirronTM> mc44: mobility x600
[10:41] <mayorbuttes> elisee: So I know what to do when I get back there =p
[10:41] <Seveas> bkudria, rouncube works with dovecot :)
[10:41] <lizardmenke> heroin: better to first install windows and then Ubuntu
[10:41] <Seveas> roundcube*
[10:41] <mc44> SirronTM: you need to use XGL to get desktop effecrts
[10:41] <lolziac> rjohnson, is wierd, cuz with 6.10 it worked fine (also with Beryl),
[10:41] <bkudria> Seveas: i'll take a look,thanks
[10:41] <heroin> lizardmenke: yah i see that now..
[10:42] <heroin> lizardmenke: anyway to rescue my system?
[10:42] <SirronTM> mc44: ah, so I need a tutorial still? I naively assumed it was just a one click operation now
[10:42] <lolziac> im sure that the problem is with the kernel, cuz will 386 its working fine, ecep

[10:42] <rjohnson> bkudria: Zimbra is the whole mail server not just webmail
[10:42] <mc44> SirronTM: it is, but not for ATI, because ATI SUCKS
[10:42] <lolziac> except not detecting 2 cpu
[10:42] <elisee> mayorbuttes> https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/internet/C/networking.html#networking-firestarter could put you on the right way, maybe you should add a rule on the IRC server's PC to accept entrant connections on TCP 6667
[10:42] <IgorSobreira> hi guys...when i mount a partition from the liveCD...in the directory /dev i can' t see my HD..there is no sda...hda....etc
[10:42] <rjohnson> That's strange
[10:42] <lizardmenke> heroin: hmm I'm affraid you need to re-install, cause windows has overwritten your Ubuntu
[10:42] <SirronTM> mc44: I agree, worst thing is I have a god damn 8800GTS in my desktop but that computer isn't linux compatible 
[10:42] <bkudria> Seveas: next question: spam?  i will have 30+ domains, each with 5-10 users, and each user needs his own settings.  i need support for whitelists too.  any suggestions?
[10:43] <bkudria> rjohnson: not for me, then,but thanks
[10:43] <mc44> SirronTM: isn't linux compatible?!
[10:43] <eyessssss> I am trying to install libdvdcss2p but i got this : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22339/
[10:43] <mayorbuttes> elisee: that would make sense, eh? It'd make more sense though if it said connection refused or something to that extent
[10:43] <guerrillawon> I posted a detailed problem in the forum but am getting now responses pertaining to using a mic on a webcam with skype not working, and I'm wondering if it'd be ok for me to post the link here for some help?
[10:43] <eyessssss> what causes this behavior?
[10:43] <lolziac> check this
[10:43] <lolziac> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2698674
[10:43] <Seveas> bkudria, spamassassin (and buy a book about it :))
[10:43] <SirronTM> mc44: I know. I have an xbox with gentoo on it, and a Core 2 Duo rig that only runs Vista o.O
[10:43] <audiowork> How are server apps in desktop version?
[10:43] <rjohnson> OK, but it has built in anti-spam, anti-virus, and does multiple domains
[10:43] <audiowork> pain i butt?
[10:43] <audiowork> in*
[10:43] <Some_Person> hello? how do i make it so there are no disk drives on my desktop?
[10:43] <mc44> SirronTM: er.. Ubuntu runs core 2 duo just fine
[10:43] <bkudria> Seveas: definitely sa?  i shouldn't consider anythign else?
[10:43] <SirronTM> mc44: The SATA chipsets are all stupid. Not supported.
[10:43] <mc44> SirronTM: did you try with the latest UBuntu?
[10:43] <Seveas> bkudria, it's the best open source solution
[10:44] <SirronTM> mc44: yeah, didn't work, I got 6.06 to boot once but it was unreliable
[10:44] <Seveas> bkudria, you could consider crm114 or others, but they're harder to setup
[10:44] <bkudria> Seveas: no bogofilter, no crm114, no mailscanner, no dspam? :)
[10:44] <elisee> mayorbuttes> yes, what you say makes sense
[10:44] <stefg> !libdvdcss | eyessssss
[10:44] <linxeh> SirronTM: you could buy an sata/pata card that is supported though
[10:44] <ubotu> eyessssss: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[10:44] <mc44> SirronTM: erg. Well, maybe next time :)
[10:44] <bkudria> Seveas: well, i'd like any easy setup
[10:44] <mitchbones> I'm about to build my first computer, quick question. I plan to eventually overlock my intel c2d E6420 but not currently. I am waiting to get a Zalman in october-ish. But I already have a tube of artic silver. Should I just leave the cpu's thermal pad on there? or put the thermal paste on?
[10:44] <Seveas> bkudria, I'm not too fond of dspam though
[10:44] <elisee> mayorbuttes> let's see what google says about this "no route to host" error
[10:44] <mitchbones> How hard is it to remove the thermal paste when I put on a new heatsink?
[10:44] <guerrillawon> Can someone look at this problem? I've made up a detailed explanation and am hoping that someone could help? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2714431#post2714431
[10:44] <Seveas> colleagues of mine like brightmail, but that's not cheap
[10:44] <stefg> eyessssss: there is no libdvdcss2p, afaik
[10:44] <bkudria> Seveas: i was considering it.  what don't you like?
[10:44] <SirronTM> linxeh: well I've got three sata controllers in there already ^^
[10:44] <mayorbuttes> elisee: Just a warning, I didn't find too much in the way or ircd help.
[10:45] <linxeh> mitchbones: sometimes it wipes off. other times you need to scrape it quite hard
[10:45] <mayorbuttes> elisee: of*
[10:45] <linxeh> SirronTM: which ones ?
[10:45] <SirronTM> mc44: thanks for the help, I shall pursue a tutorial
[10:45] <Svenstaro> mitchbones, always clean the CPU and cooler before applying a new cooler
[10:45] <Seveas> bkudria, the way it fails to work :)
[10:45] <mc44> !xgl | SirronTM
[10:45] <ubotu> SirronTM: 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
[10:45] <eyessssss> stefg: shoud I install k9copy then?
[10:45] <mitchbones> So should I go ahead and put the Artic Silver thermal paste on?
[10:45] <Apex> How do I increase my mouse scroll?
[10:45] <mc44> SirronTM: first link should do it
[10:45] <bkudria> Seveas: oh.  it does need training, you know...
[10:45] <Seveas> bkudria, I got too many false positives and too much undetected spam -- could have been my setup though, but SA+book is easier :)
[10:45] <bkudria> Seveas: although i guess that;s something i'd like to avoid, for my non-tech users
[10:45] <stefg> eyessssss: no you should just straighten your synaty and follow ubotus link :-)
[10:45] <Svenstaro> mitchbones, get a cotton towel and clean the cpu
[10:46] <bkudria> Seveas: ok, i'll go with sa+book
[10:46] <SirronTM> linxeh: JMicron, Intel, and Silicon Image  - all on the motherboard, all barely work hehe
[10:46] <stefg> lol... syntax
[10:46] <elisee> mayorbuttes> it doesn't seem to be a ircd related problem, this error appears as well with FTP... there are people saying it might be related to outbound connections refused
[10:46] <SirronTM> mc44: awesome
[10:46] <eyessssss> stefg: ok thanks :)
[10:46] <mitchbones> after I remove the stock thermal pad?
[10:46] <mwe> mitchbones: yeah and only apply a thin layer!
[10:46] <bkudria> Seveas: so,i'm planning dovecot+exim+vpopmail+roundcube+sa+book.  sound sane to you?
[10:46] <linxeh> SirronTM: odd; I'm using an Intel SATA controller just fine, and have been for months
[10:46] <mayorbuttes> elisee: Hm.. interesting. I found another site.http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/no-route-to-host-error-and-solution.html
[10:47] <Vikingo> someone sayme how to it is transparent the console in ubuntu 6.6?
[10:47] <mayorbuttes> elisee: They too mentioned ip tables
[10:47] <Seveas> bkudria, dovecot can do pop3 too so you can skip vpopmail. And I'm a postfix fan :)
[10:47] <audiowork> I have asus p5w dh , anyone install on that mobo?
[10:47] <bkudria> Seveas: well, i was hoping to use vpopmail for virtual domains/users, actually
[10:47] <linxeh> SirronTM: namely the ICH6 one (82801FBM)
[10:47] <elisee> mayorbuttes> yes this seems to be well a documented page
[10:47] <digital_k> hello all:)
[10:47] <mwe> mitchbones: I use a credit card after applying
[10:48] <SirronTM> linxeh: I know, it should work really... but I even had trouble with installing Vista when it was in Beta, because of the multitude of chipsets
[10:48] <mayorbuttes> elisee: I suppose I could have gotten the answer just by googling, but I wanted to hear someone else's opinion. Thanks you :)
[10:48] <linxeh> SirronTM: well, yeah, but that's vista like
[10:48] <VSpike> bkudria:  dovecot can handle virtual users no problem, as can postfix
[10:48] <linxeh> SirronTM: I had problems installing vista. mainly cos its still on the shelf in the store hehe
[10:48] <Seveas> bkudria, exim+dovecot can do that as well :)
[10:48] <azzco> I have a slight problem with wine since I upgraded to Feisty, does anyone know if they've done some configuration settings for wine?
[10:48] <bkudria> Seveas, VSpike: oh.
[10:48] <elisee> mayorbuttes> it must be related to ports and iptables / firestarter rules, hope you'll find a solution :)
[10:48] <bkudria> ok, then
[10:49] <mayorbuttes> elisee: Thankies :)
[10:49] <SirronTM> linxeh: well in fairness it does work on this computer when no linux distro does (Fedora, Mandriva, Ubuntu 6.06 to 7.04, Kubuntu 6.06...)
[10:49] <bkudria> Seveas: does roundcube degrade gracefully for users that can't do ajax?  any specific reason you recommend it?
[10:49] <mitchbones> mwe, a credit card to spread the paste?
[10:49] <bkudria> Seveas: i notice it has no threading or html composition support
[10:49] <mwe> mitchbones: right. and to make sure only a thin layer is present
[10:49] <Seveas> bkudria, it does not -- I keep squirrelmail installed for the non-ajax users.
[10:49] <NefariousPrior> What's the word on Pidgin for ubuntu ?
[10:49] <mwe> mitchbones: a thin layer is crucial
[10:50] <Seveas> bkudria, I installed it because users wanted it -- I hate webmail myself :)
[10:50] <linxeh> SirronTM: have you tried slackware, or the alternative ubuntu cd ?
[10:50] <PriceChild> NefariousPrior, its in gutsy
[10:50] <spikeb> NefariousPrior: it'll be available in the next release
[10:50] <bkudria> Seveas: so do i :)
[10:50] <mwe> mitchbones: or it will have the opposite effect
[10:50] <digital_k> does anyone here use or familiar with ilohamail in ubuntu? i was wondering if it can be used as a front end for say, aol imap access instead of using a client like evo?
[10:50] <mitchbones> ah
[10:50] <mitchbones> like a kleenex thin?
[10:50] <Pelo> does thermal paste need to be reapplied periodicaly ?
[10:50] <ADHSS> .gr
[10:50] <SirronTM> linxeh: Don't see what difference the alternative would make
[10:50] <bkudria> Seveas: do you integrate, or know how to integrate, roundcube and spamassassin?
[10:50] <stefg> Pelo: no, and #hardware
[10:50] <Seveas> bkudria, my mail setup is (postfix+sa)+(postfix+trend av)+(postfix+dovecot+roundcube+squirrel), all hooked to a mysql accounts db
[10:51] <Seveas> bkudria, I use spamassassin only with static rules
[10:51] <linxeh> SirronTM: well, apart from the fact that slackware tends to work on *everything*
[10:51] <mwe> mitchbones: pretty much. all has to do is cover the microscopic holes in it
[10:51] <mitchbones> is it fine if i just use the stock thermal pad then use my artic silver when I get my zalman cpu cooler
[10:51] <nevermore> Best way of coverting disk into /, /home partitoned disk?
[10:51] <buzzinfly> anyone know the state of sl-modem
[10:51] <NefariousPrior> Ok, what's the word on Gutsy?  Is it stable enough to install and use?
[10:51] <SirronTM> linxeh: really? I shall have to try that, I've heard good things
[10:51] <bkudria> Seveas: so, no training with bayesian rules. ok
[10:51] <spikeb> NefariousPrior: no
[10:51] <PriceChild> NefariousPrior, will be ready in october
[10:51] <PriceChild> NefariousPrior, NOT until then
[10:51] <linxeh> SirronTM: its worth trying. if it works then you can get ubuntu to work too
[10:51] <Seveas> NefariousPrior, it's one month old - no way that it's stable
[10:51] <dyrne> nevermore: want to move home to sep partition?
[10:51] <ashlon> i have 7.04 how do I diasble my firewall?
[10:51] <Pelo> NefariousPrior, you can try asking in #ubuntu+1
[10:51] <bkudria> Seveas: why would i choose postfix over exim?
[10:51] <linxeh> SirronTM: you might want to try freebsd too
[10:51] <nevermore> dyrne: yes
[10:52] <Seveas> bkudria, why would I pick emacs over vim? :)
[10:52] <SirronTM> linxeh: eugh, no thanks, sounds a bit too serious for me
[10:52] <PriceChild> NefariousPrior, feel free to switch back
[10:52] <linxeh> Seveas: why would you pick vim over emacs ?
[10:52] <Pelo> NefariousPrior, because you wanted to be in with the cool kids
[10:52] <Seveas> bkudria, I know postfix better and like it, so no reason to switch
[10:52] <Seveas> bkudria, if you like Exim, use it :)
[10:52] <NefariousPrior> Pelo: Yeah, that's probably it. hehe
[10:52] <Seveas> it's just as good
[10:52] <digital_k> NefariousPrior: i installed it, it broke my machine, i reinstalled Feisty. :)
[10:52] <bkudria> Seveas: ok, sure.  i don't know either one, so i was asking why would *i* choose :)
[10:52] <ashlon> whats the command to turn off the firewall in 7.04?
[10:52] <SirronTM> linxeh: I tried Solaris 10 once and was so horrified I've been reluctant to look at the more fruity systems
[10:53] <dyrne> nevermore: well you can do this http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/  and it will preserve symlinks and such.  i often though just cp it and edit fstab
[10:53] <Seveas> linxeh, because I like to keep my fingers untwisted :p
[10:53] <bkudria> Seveas: there aren't any practical advantages?
[10:53] <NefariousPrior> digital_k: "Debian" broke your machine?
[10:53] <digital_k> Gutsy did :/
[10:53] <linxeh> SirronTM: solaris 10 is a really nice os, but it needs some work to get it into a linux-like state
[10:53] <NefariousPrior> oh ok
[10:53] <Pelo> ashlon,  do you have any specific firewall issues that need to be adressed ?
[10:53] <linxeh> SirronTM: particularly for big servers
[10:53] <Seveas> bkudria, they both have pros and cons, some say Exim is easier to configure, but postfix is easy as well (ok, I cheated: I had a book)
[10:53] <digital_k> broke meaning didnt work, not break actual hardware btw...lol
[10:54] <Seveas> bkudria, Exim is Debians default, Postfix is Ubuntus default
[10:54] <stefg> OS talks to #ubuntu-offtopic ?
[10:54] <Clarrisa_2008> hi people
[10:54] <SirronTM> linxeh: I understand its purpose for servers but they shouldn't bother advertising it as a Desktop thing
[10:54] <bkudria> well, the current setup i'm in charge for has exim, so i think i'll stick with that
[10:54] <bkudria> Seveas: easier to migrate
[10:54] <Clarrisa_2008> where does imagemagick get installed when I typed aptget install imagemagick???   I can't seem to find it
[10:54] <Seveas> bkudria, hell yeah, stick with exim in that case :)
[10:54] <digital_k> so i take it no one knows anything about using iholamail on ubuntu?
[10:54] <ashlon> Pelo: I wanted to ftp into a computer on my network but it says "no route to host"
[10:55] <digital_k> lol.......moving on
[10:55] <linxeh> SirronTM: why? have you used any high end sun desktop hardware recently?
[10:55] <mwe> Clarrisa_2008: it installs a few programs. dpkg -L imagemagick|grep bin
[10:55] <bkudria> Seveas: ok,  thanks,i'll probably include roundcube *and* squirrelmail.
[10:55] <guerrillawon> Does anyone know how I can locate which dsp my mic is using?
[10:55] <bkudria> Seveas: thanks forthe pointers
[10:55] <guerrillawon> My usb mic.
[10:55] <Pelo> ashlon,  man netfilter but i don'T think that is your issue,  also man iptables
[10:55] <Seveas> digital_k, probably some people know, but thos people are not in here ;)
[10:55] <Seveas> bkudria, you're welcome!
[10:55] <SirronTM> linxeh: Noooo I mean their website makes it sound like something you'd use instead of XP
[10:56] <Seveas> stefg, dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/hda bs=1024 -- that should get rid of your belenix (and everything else on disk...) :)
[10:56] <nevermore> dyrne: thanks.
[10:56] <stefg> Seveas: no, libatat :-)
[10:56] <nevermore> How to resize?

[10:56] <Pelo> someone help ashlon  with his/her network problem
[10:57] <Seveas> stefg, fair enough :)
[10:57] <NefariousPrior> Seveas:  Is using /dev/urandom better than using /dev/zero ?

[10:59] <tashe> ok thanks
[10:59] <levon> pelo thanks
[10:59] <Seveas> levon, are you trying to change that icon?
[10:59] <levon> yes
[10:59] <tondar> hey all
[10:59] <krameman75> i am trying to edit an xorg.conf file to try and fix my screen resolution but the file is read only and wont let me save my changes.........how may i change this??????
[11:00] <nevermore> Pelo: Installed, but want to resize main partition.
[11:00] <digital_k> hes trying to change the button
[11:00] <tondar> you guys know a good site for motorola ringtones?
[11:00] <Pelo> neverblue,   sudo apt-get install  gparted, then open gnome partition editor from the system >admin menu,   the hdd you want to resize the partition on must me unmounted
[11:00] <digital_k> im guessing
[11:00] <nevermore> I have a 120 gb disk.
[11:00] <stefg> !sudo | krameman75
[11:00] <mwe> krameman75: you need admin privs to do that
[11:00] <ubotu> krameman75: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[11:00] <Seveas> levon, you can simply replace distributor-logo.png if you want to change the icon :)
[11:00] <anahata> hey my cam works but not my scanner
[11:00] <anahata> i think i need to patch SANE
[11:00] <levon> aw thats nice to know
[11:00] <tondar> site or room will do ;)
[11:00] <levon> :)
[11:00] <p1ls> hai, anone uses bitchx in here?
[11:00] <Pelo> nevermore, if you want to rezise your working partition you'll need to boot the live cd,    and use gparted in there
[11:00] <levon> thanks seveas
[11:00] <mwe> krameman75: gksudo gedit it. make a backup first, though.
[11:00] <nevermore> OK
[11:00] <digital_k> says what is bitchx?
[11:01] <nevermore> Pelo: 7.04 live cd will work?
[11:01] <p1ls> its a mirc program
[11:01] <levon> thanks to Pelo too and Ditital
[11:01] <nevermore> willI need internet?
[11:01] <tondar> you guys know a good site for motorola ringtones?
[11:01] <stefg> !info bitchx

[11:01] <Clarrisa_2008> mwe, one more thing.  gallery2 reports that my version of imagemagick (6.2.4) may have vulnerablities.  is here a way I can upgrade it with apt-get?  I'm using LAMP ubuntu server 6.06.1
[11:01] <p1ls> anyone uses though?
[11:01] <ubek> hi people
[11:01] <ubek> anyone could help me?
[11:01] <mwe> tondar: this is ubuntu support, not motorola support
[11:01] <Clarrisa_2008> mwe, specifically it reports: Warning: This version of ImageMagick has known vulnerabilities that could be exploited to execute arbitrary commands or cause a denial of service (references: 1, 2, 3, 4). You may wish to upgrade. This determination may be inaccurate for ImageMagick packages in Linux distributions.
[11:02] <tondar> mwe: i know man, just asking
[11:02] <stefg> !anyone | ubek
[11:02] <ubotu> ubek: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[11:02] <Pelo> p1ls, most ppl here are on  xchat or gaim
[11:02] <p1ls> cool thanks
[11:02] <levon> oh also i have one more question last one for now :). I have just created a custom ubuntu cd adding in ndiswrapper wine changing the boot screens and such. Well my question is will that still be applied even after i do a harddrive install?
[11:02] <Pelo> ubek,  what is your issue ?
[11:02] <mwe> Clarrisa_2008: you should probalby be using a more recent ubuntu release
[11:02] <ubek> i have problem which is described in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/116620
[11:03] <levon> *created a ubuntul LIVE cd
[11:03] <Clarrisa_2008> mwe, I didn't think I was that far behind
[11:03] <Pelo> ubek,  give us the short bersion here
[11:03] <Pelo> version
[11:03] <Clarrisa_2008> mwe, can I upgrade without reinstalling and creating a worse headache?
[11:03] <ubek> ok so i put cd in device
[11:03] <Clarrisa_2008> mwe, upgrade ubuntu I mean
[11:03] <Pelo> ubek,  donT' use the enter key for punctuation please
[11:04] <ubek> and hal is tacking 100% of cpu sped end the system is unfunctional
[11:04] <mwe> Clarrisa_2008: you can upgrade to 6.10 I think
[11:04] <D1> hello
[11:04] <mwe> Clarrisa_2008: maybe you can just update imagemagic somehow
[11:04] <Pelo> Clarrisa_2008, reinstalling is less of a headache then upgrading , and far more relaible
[11:04] <Pelo> D1,  hello
[11:05] <stefg_> ubek: this might be related to the introduction of libata for PATA-drives. imho you need to roll your own kernel (and figure out which option works around that problem)
[11:05] <Clarrisa_2008> pelo.  it took me weeks of my off-work hours to get my lamp server working right with weibsites, etc.
[11:06] <mwe> Clarrisa_2008: dapper is supposed to be supported still
[11:06] <tehbrandon> Hey, I just installed ubuntu, and had it install the nvidia drivers, but now it is freezing on boot.
[11:06] <Pelo> Clarrisa_2008, sorry  wasn'T aware this was a server ,  it might be more trouble
[11:06] <DARKGuy> Hey, at work I have a "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. UniChrome Pro IGP (rev 01)" and I know it works at 1280x1024 but in Linux it simply doesn't want to, nor with OpenChrome or Vesa... anybody has a solution to this? :(
[11:06] <mwe> Clarrisa_2008: did you try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade?
[11:06] <levon> be back in a little while thank you for all the help
[11:06] <mwe> Clarrisa_2008: maybe there's a security update to it
[11:06] <DARKGuy> brb
[11:07] <neverblue> Pelo, sorry, i see your replies, but what was my question again :)
[11:07] <linxeh> SirronTM: can you show me where it says it is ?
[11:07] <ed1t> is there any way i can open thunderbird in workspace 2 on startup?
[11:07] <DARKGuy> okay, back
[11:07] <darkk^> can anyone say me what ibm-acpi version is included in feisty (modinfo ibm-acpi | grep version)?
[11:07] <Clarrisa_2008> WTF? !!!  I just went to ubuntu's website, and I find it's now owned by DELL??!!!  please tell me I"m at the wrong website!!! did they sell out?
[11:07] <Pelo> tehbrandon, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg should let you go back to the vesa driver so you can start x again ,  boot the recovery mode
[11:07] <DARKGuy> wait, WTF?!
[11:08] <tehbrandon> yeah, I did, but now no nvidia :(
[11:08] <ubek> stefg can u tell me what option should fix it ?
[11:08] <PriceChild> Clarrisa_2008, ubuntu isn't owned by del
[11:08] <PriceChild> l
[11:08] <redbox> Clarrisa_2008: its not "owned" by Dell, its a partnership.
[11:08] <Pelo> neverblue, sorry I think my replies were adressed to nevermore my apologies
[11:08] <PriceChild> Clarrisa_2008, they sell ubuntu pcs though
[11:08] <mwe> Clarrisa_2008: I think I received an update fixing some buffer overflow vulnarabilities when I ran dapper
[11:08] <DARKGuy> d'h
[11:08] <Seveas> Clarrisa_2008, Dell is selling machines with Ubuntu, the logo on ubuntu.com is just an appreciation for the steps dell takes to promote Ubuntu
[11:08] <Clarrisa_2008> oh ok
[11:08] <stefg> ubek: that very much depends on your hardware (which i don't know)
[11:08] <Clarrisa_2008> ok that's cool then
[11:08] <Clarrisa_2008> good for dell...
[11:08] <anahata> ok i have to patch my kernel now
[11:08] <Seveas> oh -- they even changed it more now
[11:08] <Pelo> PriceChild, redbox  check the picture on the ubuntu.com site dell has marked us already ,

[11:08] <CheshireViking> Clarrisa_2008, but don't try buying one yet, the website has still got a few bugs
[11:08] <SirronTM> linxeh: doesn't seem to say it anymore, but it did have stuff about using it as a secure fast and reliable replacement to windows
[11:09] <Seveas> big dell commercial :)
[11:09] <neverblue> Pelo, I know :)
[11:09] <Clarrisa_2008> oh I won't, not yet

(it does work in Windows, so I don't get why it doesn't in Ubuntu)... I've tried Vesa and OpenChrome without results, and stock "via" driver says there's no device detected...
[11:11] <anahata> do i need to restart to patch the kernel?
[11:11] <Pelo> anahata, yes
[11:11] <erUSUL> !fixres | DARKGuy
[11:11] <ubotu> DARKGuy: 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
[11:11] <anahata> oh no
[11:11] <anahata> that means there is no way to see if this scanner will work on ubuntu without doing a full install
[11:11] <mwe> anahata: you need to know exactly what you're doing. it's not easy if you haven't done it before
[11:11] <IgorSobreira> hi all...when i mount my partition from the liveCD...the /dev  of the partition that i've mounted doenst have sda1..sda2..hda.......so in cant reinstall my grub...because i dont have the sda in /dev (my Ubuntu is on sda2)

[11:12] <AFaith> a mail server for my lan
[11:12] <Pelo> anahata, maybe if you just restart x   crtl-alt-backspace
[11:12] <AFaith> can you provide me some useful tutorials ?
[11:13] <Tarkus> im trying to setup LAMP, and in the ubuntu docs it says to install these packages with any method (ill use synaptic).. apache2, php5-mysql, libapache2-mod-php5, mysql-server. is that all i need to do?
[11:13] <Pelo> mbutUbuntu01, www.ubuntuforums.com   use the search feature to search the error msg

[11:13] <anahata> Pelo, what? i'm on a livecd, what do you mean?
[11:13] <danomite> Hello, I'm getting an error when trying to compile a Hello World C program.  The error states gcc can't find stdio.h.  I'm using kubuntu 7.04.
[11:13] <anahata> Pelo, oh you mean restart x, not the whole thing
[11:14] <Pelo> AFaith,  I dont, know if those will help but here  http://revision3.com/forum/showthread.php?t=84 http://book.opensourceproject.org.cn/distrib/ubuntu/unleashed/ http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty
[11:14] <Pelo> anahata, yes taht is what I mean
[11:14] <anahata> Pelo, i can patch the kernerl and only restart x, not the whole kernel?
[11:14] <Pelo> anahata, that is my best suggestion
[11:14] <anahata> Pelo, ok now i just have to figure out how to patch the kernel
[11:14] <DARKGuy> erUSUL: hey, that worked! thanks a ton :)
[11:14] <anahata> *is reading an article*
[11:15] <AFaith> thanks Pelo, but there nothing there :(
[11:15] <Pelo> anahata, an ubuntu isntall only take about 30 minutes,  it would not be the end of the world to install it to try your scanner,  you can alsway partiton afterwards
[11:15] <danomite> This is the error, http://rafb.net/p/08I6dB75.html
[11:15] <AFaith> anyone else ?
[11:15] <melman101> hey all.
[11:15] <Pelo> AFaith,  the last link is about 300 pages long , and you checked already ?
[11:15] <Pelo> sorry the second one
[11:15] <Some_Person> Where can I get Ubuntu Lagoon (from 5.10)?
[11:16] <anahata> Pelo, i haven't backed up my data yet from windows
[11:16] <roaet> hello. I need to get two ubuntu boxes networked together to share files without authentication and, on reboot, automatically reconnect/mount the network drive. What is the best way to go about doing this?
[11:16] <AFaith> Pelo: i didin't check them all, page by page
[11:16] <AFaith> but a few of them
[11:16] <Flannel> Some_Person: lagoon?  5.10 isn't supported anymore, you ought to upgrade to 6.06
[11:16] <linux_user400354> roaet nfs
[11:16] <Pelo> anahata,  is this a usb scanner ?   checkn in system prefs  removable media there are options ther for usb devices
[11:16] <AFaith> i was wondering if you could point me to a really quick tutorial
[11:16] <darkk^> what is the latest kenel that can be used safely with dapper binaries? (iptables vs. xtables, hd* vs. sd* when using IDE, etc)
[11:16] <Some_Person> I want the desktop pattern called "Ubuntu Lagoon" from 5.10.
[11:16] <|Skull|> can someone give me a hand? I just formated, and re-installed ubuntu fiesty, and I can't remember how to fix/break autocomplete so that it will automatically add a trailing slash on a symlink to a folder
[11:17] <Pelo> AFaith,  google
[11:17] <anahata> Pelo, yeah it is..
[11:17] <Jowi> hi all. have anyone tested etoile and know a edgy repo for it?
[11:17] <tashe> !sudo
[11:17] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[11:17] <Pelo> Some_Person, try www.gnome-look.org
[11:17] <roaet> linux_user400354: tank you
[11:17] <LjL> danomite: try using #include <stdio.h> instead of #include "stdio.h"
[11:18] <AFaith> Pelo: i've already done that
[11:18] <Pelo> Jowi,  I assume the etoile website would have that info
[11:18] <Flannel> Some_Person: Ah ha.  Uh, if you have a breezy install CD (or a liveCD), you ought to be able to snag it. as well.  The former would have it as a package (the default desktop background ... package), the latter, you'd just nab the image.
[11:18] <anahata> where are system prefs?
[11:18] <Pelo> AFaith, www.ubuntuforums.com  that is the last one I am giving you
[11:18] <ncd> hey I'm slightly baffeled ... ive recompiled the kernel and borrowed the .config from ubuntus kernel ... which one would forgiven for thinking is a reletivley safe thing to do ... but anyway.. as I understand it devfs is pile of shite and udev is the new kid on the block, which ubuntu uses.. when I compiled and boot up I get a kernel panic as seen here: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-389733.html ... hes solution doesnt work but gives me the other pr
[11:18] <ncd> oblem when it looks for /dev/console but I have that and have run MAKEDEV.. and I never even saw a devfs option .. but Ive read some where that devfs == sysfs which is selected .. is that the cause of the problem??
[11:18] <OSBC> Hi, I got a problem with my ATI X800, I've installed fglrx driver. I have DRI but when i launch glxgears, my cpu does the job. What can I do ?
[11:18] <Pelo> anahata,  ubuntu menu > system > prefs > removable media : 4th tab I think
[11:18] <Jowi> Pelo, they do not have any official repo. only svn snapshots which includes gnustep dependencies which are not very easy to get working (for me that is).
[11:18] <mayorbuttes> Where can I config Ubuntu Server's firewall (feisty)?
[11:18] <LjL> !kernel > ncd    (ncd, see the private message from Ubotu)
[11:18] <Flannel> !firewall | mayorbuttes
[11:18] <ubotu> mayorbuttes: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[11:18] <danomite> LjL: http://rafb.net/p/SN5gGP84.html here's the code
[11:19] <mayorbuttes> thanks.
[11:19] <Pelo> Jowi,   google etoile.deb
[11:19] <anahata> Pelo, thank you
[11:19] <Pelo> anahata, no prob
[11:19] <Jowi> Pelo, very funny
[11:19] <SirronTM> ok, I installed XGL and now clicking "Desktop Effects" works brilliantly. Is there a theme manager like emerald or something I can use?
[11:19] <Pelo> Jowi,  I was not kidding, look no little smiley face
[11:19] <LjL> danomite: cheers for the correct code, inclusive of return statement. now give me the exact errors that gcc gives please. (or, take the short route and  sudo apt-get install build-essential , since i suspect you haven't done that)
[11:20] <Pelo> SirronTM,  ask in #ubuntu-efffects

[11:20] <|Skull|> can someone give me a hand? I just formated, and re-installed ubuntu fiesty, and I can't remember how to fix/break autocomplete so that it will automatically add a trailing slash on a symlink to a folder
[11:20] <danomite> ljl i will now execute that apt-get
[11:20] <Jowi> Pelo, if you don't know, don't answer the question.
[11:21] <Pelo> ronaldo,  is the dir gone or the permissions ?
[11:21] <aroo> Anyone know why umounting an NFS share with "sudo umount -f" only returns "device or resource is busy", I have no applications open that are using the NFS share
[11:21] <ed1t> how do i open something in workspace 2 on startup?
[11:21] <anahata> Pelo, all it has under the prefs is what program to run for the "scanners" [it includes the webcam under 'scanners', btw, for when xsane comes up] 
[11:21] <LjL> danomite: oh, i see that you aren't just calling gcc. whatever you're using to call gcc, it seems to be looking for includes in a "486" directory that you probably don't have...
[11:22] <Ronald|Laptop> Pelo: dir
[11:22] <Pelo> anahata, did you check the hardware page for you scanner model to know if it is supported fully or with a bit of extra work ?
[11:22] <danomite> ljl: the exact command line i am using is: gcc simple.c -v
[11:22] <Pelo> !hardware | anahata

[11:26] <anahata> Pelo, it's not in the supported list, but it's on another page from 2002 as: you can make it work if you do the kernel patch and all this stuff
[11:26] <|Skull|> anyone have any idea about my autocomplete question?
[11:26] <Pelo> anahata,  then I would trust taht you can and happily install ubuntu
[11:27] <fatal_> I'd like to find out if my network cards are connected to a 64bit PCI bus or just a 32bit.... is that possible with just software? I don't have physical access to the machine so I can't look....
[11:27] <xtknight> fatal_, sudo lshw | less
[11:28] <xtknight> fatal_, actually try 'sudo -i' and then 'lshw | less' if the previous 'sudo lshw | less' one didnt work properly
[11:28] <xtknight> bus width will be listed under the "Width:" entry in bits
[11:29] <adaptr> hi , does anybody have a quick tip on how to migrate a running system to a new drive ?
[11:29] <fatal_> xtknight: thanks!
[11:29] <anahata> Pelo, ok, but can i try to patch the kernel from the livecd too? while simply restarting X as you said?
[11:29] <Some_Person> reinstall 7.04, it has migration built in to the installer
[11:30] <Pelo> anahata, you can try but restarting x was just a distant not realy likely but worth a shot anyway possiblity
[11:30] <iBug> servus
[11:30] <anahata> Pelo, i see
[11:31] <Armageddon00> Which folder do I put a script in if i want it to run when gnome starts?
[11:31] <anahata> well, it's not like this scanner has even been working on windows
[11:31] <anahata> i will just wait til i install ubuntu
[11:31] <Some_Person> whats something cool you can do with ubutnu?
[11:32] <ed1t> Some_Person, install beryl?
[11:32] <Pelo> anahata,  that,s the spririt
[11:32] <melman101> Some_Person: Beryl is awesome.
[11:32] <anahata> so you guys... my final concern using ubuntu is.. is it hard to find a digital camera that's not an arm and a leg, that works with ubuntu?
[11:32] <Some_Person> what is beryl?
[11:32] <FreedomFighter> hmm... beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects, Some_Person
[11:32] <p1ls> Can anyone help me to find or install qt3-apps-dev
[11:32] <DuckFart> Some_Person: run a PC without an anti-virus package :)
[11:32] <|Skull|> can someone give me a hand? I just formated, and re-installed ubuntu fiesty, and I can't remember how to fix/break autocomplete so that it will automatically add a trailing slash on a symlink to a folder
[11:32] <nexous> Hi, What is the editor that comes equiped with ubuntu to add custom icon paths"?
[11:33] <Pelo> |Skull|,  man symlink
[11:33] <Armageddon00> Just FYI, after installing beryl with Xgl playing video games with Direct Rendering became difficult (impossible).  I know theres a way to do it without xgl but i never looked into it
[11:33] <Pelo> nexous, gconf-editor ?
[11:33] <nexous> Pelo: yes, thanks
[11:33] <p1ls> Can anyone help me to find or install qt3-apps-dev
[11:34] <Pelo> Armageddon00,  the ppl in #beryl would be better at answering your
[11:34] <Some_Person> beryl... does that run on gdm? or does it replace gdm?
[11:34] <melman101> hey how come on my friend's Beryl, when he double clicks title bar he gets window shading, but when I do it  iget maximize?
[11:34] <|Skull|> pelo, it's not a symlink issue, so much as an autocomplete issue
[11:34] <Pelo> melman101, because he changed the settings
[11:34] <Armageddon00> Pelo: It wasn't really a question, I got bored of beryl after a day or two of spining polyhedra desktops at high speed
[11:34] <melman101> he said he didn't. thats what was weird
[11:35] <Armageddon00> Some_Person: I'm pretty sure it runs in conjunction with gdm, but i think it replaces metacity
[11:35] <Pelo> Armageddon00, I get bored with beryl after 15 minutes, you're more patient then me
[11:35] <Some_Person> metacity?
[11:35] <Armageddon00> Pelo: I suppose so ^^
[11:35] <Pelo> Armageddon00,  somafm  I think  emerald replaces metacity
[11:36] <Armageddon00> Some_Person: Metacity is your theme manager under GNOME
[11:36] <roadboy> how can i activate tv output without restarting gnome?
[11:36] <Pelo> Armageddon00, I don't realy have the videocard for it anyway
[11:36] <miles__> Hi there
[11:36] <Some_Person> oh
[11:36] <p1ls> Can anyone help me to find or install qt3-apps-dev
[11:36] <Armageddon00> Pelo: Yeah, I have an ati so... well you know.
[11:36] <bknitram> I'm running 7.04. When I insert a DVD into the drive, GNOME doesn't recognize it and I cannot play it with totem. I know it can be read because it does mount at /media/cdrom0 (odd for a dvd)
[11:36] <miles__> Where does Avant-Window-Navigator keep its settings?
[11:37] <melman101> Ehhh,I can just use ctrl+alt+s
[11:37] <Pelo> p1ls,   kubuntu or ubuntu ?
[11:37] <Pelo> DuckFart, can you recommend a decent linux alternative for autocad ?
[11:37] <linxeh> rofl ;-)
[11:37] <p1ls> ubuntu
[11:37] <Pelo> miles__, don'T rely know it's a 3rd party project
[11:38] <Pelo> p1ls,   menu > system > admin > synaptic package manager ,  use the search feature to locate your pacage
[11:38] <linxeh> Pelo: medusa maybe?
[11:38] <DuckFart> Pelo: mmmm. tricky. I don't use AutoCAD. Are you looking to import drawings or looking for equal function?
[11:38] <Pelo> linxeh, got a link ?
[11:38] <linxeh> Pelo: http://www.tech-edv.co.at/lunix/CADlinks.html   stuff on there
[11:39] <linxeh> not used any of them though
[11:39] <Pelo> DuckFart, equal function would be nice,  I could finaly ditch windows
[11:39] <Pelo> linxeh, thanks
[11:40] <_3oo3> i cannot seem to get my sandwich perfected in ubuntu, can some1 plz help?  I take bite and mayo comes out other side-- how to find sammich compatibility?
[11:40] <Armageddon00> O.o..
[11:40] <p1ls> Pelo, cannot be installed. it depends on libqt30mt-dev whcih i cant install either
[11:40] <haptiK> hello ive just used synaptic package manager thingy to install g++4 and it just doesnt seem to exist on my system.
[11:40] <Pelo> linxeh, I've been on that site,  half the links don't work,  I'll book mark it and check it again later
[11:40] <dyrne> _3oo3: thats what you get for using a tainted kernel
[11:40] <adaptr> aptitude install sandwich-super-smash && super-smash-sandwich --extra-protection
[11:40] <Miso> How can I emulate an iso in ubuntu?
[11:40] <adaptr> it comes with a virtual apron
[11:40] <haptiK> further more if i try to install it using apt-get install i get this error: E: Invalid operation intall
[11:40] <Pelo> p1ls,  why can you not install it ?
[11:40] <cables> !iso | Miso
[11:40] <ubotu> Miso: To mount an ISO disc image, type  sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint>  - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[11:40] <linxeh> Pelo: well, it wasnt really for the links. it was for the product names. then google...
[11:41] <p1ls> pelo,  Depends: libqt3-mt-dev but it is not going to be installed
[11:41] <Pelo> linxeh,  thanks
[11:41] <_3oo3> dyrne: what is command for stabilize mayo to bite-pressure overflow ratio?
[11:41] <p1ls> pelo, and the libtq cant be installed too
[11:41] <cables> There should be a rhythmbox server that only runs the DAAP server and not the rest of the GUI, that you can set to start when you log in.
[11:41] <Pelo> p1ls, why do you need this pacakge anyway ?
[11:41] <p1ls> to install polish communicator, named Kadu
[11:42] <_3oo3> maybe its the toaster..is there a port of ubuntu for toasters?
[11:42] <adaptr> _3oo3 I think you have to fiddle with vm.messiness and see what works
[11:42] <linxeh> another site suggests that Pro/Engineer, Unigraphics, Co-Create and Catia might still be available for unix/linux
[11:43] <DuckFart> Pelo: I can't remember the name of it, but the US Army used it to build some of their tanks prototypes. I'll dig around. The stuff I'm on prefers substantial computing power to work.
[11:43] <dv83r> i have Ubuntu Fiesty with an Nforce2 chipset and my sound output through xmms as well as beep (OSS) sounds like crap??
[11:43] <_3oo3> adaptr: is that some socialist program?
[11:43] <linxeh> Pelo: this has some links at the bottom too http://www.cadinfo.net/editorial/linux-cad.htm
[11:43] <adaptr> _3oo3 you are unfamiliar with kernel parameters ? then where did you get permission to make geek jokes ?
[11:44] <DuckFart> Pelo: BRL-CAD!
[11:44] <Pelo> p1ls, ok , now that sound to me like a kde application, which by default don'T run on ubuntu which is gnome , you would probably have to instal a butload of kde libraries to get it working ,   to do that easily you can sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop  that will install the kde stuff you need to procced,  that will also mean that you can boot both kde and gnome, you'll need to pick which one from the loging screen when you restart ,  but
[11:44] <Pelo> you should be able to use your prog in either client
[11:44] <adaptr> dv83r perhaps you're using crap drivers ? use ALSA or JACK
[11:44] <_3oo3> adaptr...sorry...I assumed it was ubuntu-specific...I am familiar with kernel parameters, but only on capitalist kernels.
[11:44] <Pelo> DuckFart,  yeah saw that one a while back,  don't 'remember why I haven't tried it yet,
[11:44] <adaptr> _3oo3 what the fsck does your sandwich's mayonnaise level have to do with politics ?
[11:44] <dv83r> i tried installing the Nvidia driver but keep getting a compliling error thought the installer
[11:45] <Pelo> DuckFart, linxeh  thanks, I'll check those out , a bit later
[11:45] <DuckFart> Pelo: no probs.
[11:45] <p1ls> thanks pelo, ill try something elsce, because still i will switch to fluxbox as a main displayer;] 
[11:45] <adaptr> anyway, profile it with +non-fat-mayo to see where the bloat is...
[11:45] <Pelo> dv83r,  did you start with tring to install the restricted drivers supplied with ubuntu ?  menu > system > admin > restricted drviers
[11:46] <dv83r> it says nvsound there and its checked and says in use
[11:46] <dv83r> i dont know why the installer never got me anywhere
[11:47] <Pelo> dv83r,  the restricted drivers do not install automaticaly,
[11:47] <Ronald|Laptop> May 24 21:14:34 gummi dspam[4216] : Unable to open file for writing: /var/run/dspam/dspam.pid: No such file or directory --- /var/run/dspam is not in the setup by default, dspam gave error, so i made it with permissions dspam:dspam. after reboot its gone.
[11:47] <ncd> doh
[11:47] <ncd> All because I was using mkinitrd
[11:48] <dv83r> ok, well i tried a tutorial for installing this driver, got dependencies and headers, then modded the makefile, then tried to install but it went to crap
[11:48] <ncd> rather then initramfs
[11:48] <ncd> might want to mention that in that the  kernelcustombuild website ;D
[11:48] <Pelo> Ronald|Laptop, did you try adding your /var/run/dspam to the path file what ever it is
[11:48] <dv83r> do u think installing the nvsound will help me with my sound issue at all
[11:48] <anahata> how do i find out my kernel? on this ubuntu?
[11:48] <Ronald|Laptop> Pelo: path file?
[11:48] <anahata> the scanner drivers i found said they only work on kernel 2.4
[11:49] <tehbrandon> Ok, I'm freezing on loading hardware drivers after installing nvidia using restricted
[11:49] <Pelo> dv83r, I realy donT'know , my hardware is fully compatible, so i,ve never had to do this stuff
[11:49] <Pelo> Ronald|Laptop, hold on let me see if I can find what I am refering to
[11:49] <darwin81> How do I mount a filesystem from the command line?
[11:49] <TTT_Travis> I have tried everything to get Ubuntu to work with my SHARP AQUOUS 37" LCD TV, it works but resolution is 640x480, the TV sends the wrong data to the computer
[11:50] <alekz> hi, how can i change xchat's events language ?
[11:51] <boxnetnet> is there any way to tell 'top' to display the top .. erm, five most memorydemanding processes ?
[11:51] <null> alekz, #xchat
[11:51] <Pelo> Ronald|Laptop, this refers to bash scripting but the path part might be usable for you  http://www.linuxcommand.org/wss0010.php#path
[11:52] <Pelo> Aleks,  it should match the language of your dektop,  but you can change the wording manualy in one fo the menus
[11:52] <Pelo> boxnetnet,  man top
[11:52] <boxnetnet> how refreshing
[11:53] <Pelo> boxnetnet,  you are asking for specific options on a command I use seldomly,  I can either check the man page and tell you or tell you to check the man page
[11:53] <Pelo> guess which I will pick on any day of the week
[11:54] <boxnetnet> what...ever thanks for the input tho
[11:54] <ponty> i need help troubleshoot my soundblaster audigy card...sometimes i have sound in ubuntu, sometimes not...i've got a dual boot w/ xp which always works, so i'm sure it's not a hardware issue
[11:54] <Pelo> ewwww
[11:55] <mc44> DuckFart: are you trying to get banned again?
[11:55] <DuckFart> damn, i gotta switch those off.
[11:55] <anahata> Pelo, if i have one scanner backend and frontend on here, do i need to uninstall it, in order to install a new backend and frontend?
[11:55] <tehbrandon> I love roast beef
[11:55] <Pelo> !sound | ponty  start here
[11:55] <ubotu> ponty  start here: 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).

[11:55] <anahata> you guys, i can't partition my hdd because it's too small, so it's either linux all the way or windows 98 all the way lol
[11:55] <tuchstux> Are you booting from linux to windows and vice versa? Does it work in linux after turning computer "freshly" on?

[11:56] <Laney> np: Nightwish - Wishmaster [Live] 
[11:56] <kazol> I cannot boot after I installed software RAID-I get "Waiting for root filesystem"
[11:56] <Pelo> anahata, you are speaking giberish to me,   please dumb it down a notch
[11:56] <ponty> ok
[11:56] <PriceChild> Laney, no talking scripts or bots in here thankyou.
[11:56] <tehbrandon> OK, I can't get nvidia drivers to work: freezing loading hardware drivers on boot.
[11:56] <anahata> Pelo, are you kidding
[11:56] <Ronald|Laptop> Pelo: don't think that has a solution for the 'problem', thanks for the effort though
[11:56] <Pelo> tehbrandon,  funny you mentionned that ,  I made some for lunch
[11:56] <technel> Is it possible to run gnome-terminal in 256 colors so I can use a pretty vim theme (without using gvim)?
[11:56] <|Skull|> can someone give me a hand? I just formated, and re-installed ubuntu fiesty, and I can't remember how to fix/break autocomplete so that it will automatically add a trailing slash on a symlink to a folder
[11:56] <Pelo> anahata, just rephrase it ,  it's just not registering
[11:56] <swatF1RESTORM> I'm having DVD playback issues with any player i try
[11:57] <DuckFart> time for bed
[11:57] <kazol> has anyone here setup software RAID-1??
[11:57] <PriceChild> |Skull|, it will do that if there are no files of the same name.
[11:57] <mwe> !dvd | swatF1RESTORM
[11:57] <ubotu> swatF1RESTORM: 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
[11:57] <anahata> Pelo, do i need to uninstall xsane in order to install a different scanner driver? [i just forgot if the new one uses sane or not, i'm not sure it's relevant] 
[11:57] <anahata> i think i need to eat soon
[11:57] <Pelo> technel, try commenting out the appropriate areas of xorg.conf
[11:57] <ncd> woooooot
[11:57] <swatF1RESTORM> mwe: that didn't work for me or i couldn't follow it correctly. any other places to try?
[11:58] <Pelo> anahata, I wouldn'T know,  that part is a bit over my head
[11:58] <ncd> damn old habbits
[11:58] <mwe> swatF1RESTORM: did you install the libdvdcss2 package?
[11:58] <|Skull|> PriceChild no, it does it weather there are files that are the same or not...
[11:59] <technel> Pelo, Under "Section "Screen"" there is "DefaultDepth 24" -- should I change it to 256?
[11:59] <swatF1RESTORM> mwe: I tried to and it said something to the effect of 'no canidate'
[11:59] <PriceChild> |Skull|, not for me on a default install.
[11:59] <|Skull|> odd....
[11:59] <Pelo> technel, that would probably do it
[11:59] <heroin> could someone please help me restore GRUB?
[11:59] <anahata> Pelo, ok
[11:59] <ncd> damn
[11:59] <ncd> what is the package name for devfs??
[11:59] <mwe> swatF1RESTORM: then you didn't. you need to add the seveas repo
[11:59] <HymnToLife> technel, don't do that
[11:59] <LjL> !grub > heroin    (heroin, see the private message from Ubotu)
[11:59] <ncd> i want to apt-get unisntall it
[11:59] <mwe> swatF1RESTORM: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[11:59] <technel> HymnToLife, Why? And what *should* I do?
[11:59] <heroin> HymnToLife: thanks but u cant actually help me?
[12:00] <mwe> swatF1RESTORM: install libdvdread3 as well
[12:00] <tuchstux> Turn it to "8" not "256" ;-)
[12:00] <tehbrandon> I can't get nvidia drivers to work, freeze at loading hardware drivers on boot
[12:00] <HymnToLife> techjim, because there is no such thing as 256 bit colour depth
[12:00] <swatF1RESTORM> mwe: that one I have (libdvdread3)
[12:00] <anahata> does anyone know then? ok i got it straight... there is a SANE backend for the scanner driver... ubuntu has xsane but i need *viceo* as a frontend, so do i need to uninstall *xsane* in order to install *viceo*
[12:00] <Some_Person> how do i get grub out of my mbr?
[12:00] <anahata> or can ubuntu switch back and forth between 2 drivers.. ok actually i'm not sure these are frontends, but they work with SANE
[12:00] <technel> HymnToLife, Well right now it is set to "24"
[12:01] <|Skull|> I just made a folder called temp. INside temp, I made a symlink to my home directory called test. There is nothing else in there... if I type cd tes and press tab it puts test without the trailing slash
[12:01] <Pelo> !grub | Some_Person
[12:01] <ubotu> Some_Person: 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
[12:01] <tehbrandon> anahata IIRC you don't have to
[12:01] <oriez> pelo you are not stupid
[12:01] <anahata> in any case, can linux switch between the 2 programs that use SANE?
[12:01] <anahata> oh
