[12:01] <lspci> ah
[12:01] <GFT20> xD

[12:01] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[12:01] <BlueEagle> lspci: I've had that issue on my Ix86. It boils down to either ACPI not working correctly me thinks. Not sure if it would apply to an intel mac tho. Is there a way to disable ACPI in the bios?
[12:01] <und3ad> how can i remove those from desktop ? http://photos.piry.net/view/25192Screenshot.png
[12:01] <portofu> Ultima`: uhm, you need to find the .inf files and put it in /lib/firmware
[12:02] <taime1> magnetron: i know this is a little annoying, and i appologize, but how do i change the gnome splash?
[12:02] <lspci> BlueEagle: there is no bios...
[12:02] <Ultima`> portofu:  How do I tell which inf files are for the wireless driver?
[12:02] <eternaljoy> BlueEagle: ever seen a yellow Eagle?
[12:02] <earth-dragon> und3ad: maybe gconf-editor
[12:02] <portofu> Ultima`: you have to search around for your wifi chipset
[12:02] <BlueEagle> eternaljoy: There was one over there a moment ago.. *points to #Ubuntu-offtopic. c",)
[12:02] <eternaljoy> GFT20: what can the MacOS do that Ubuntu cannot?
[12:03] <ahmed> [01:02]  <ahmed> i installed ubuntu studio and kde ,, i feel now my ubuntu is slow.. especially with trying to edit a system text file or so
[12:03] <ahmed> [01:02]  <ahmed> it takes a while to laod
[12:03] <ahmed> [01:02]  <ahmed> and some times never opens
[12:03] <eternaljoy> BlueEagle: ;)
[12:03] <ahmed> helpz plzz
[12:03] <MrMiste1> MacOS can suck...
[12:03] <zabin> magnetron: gnomebaker doesnt make movies
[12:03] <eternaljoy> MrMiste1: settle down ;)
[12:03] <portofu> Ultima`: diff. wifi have diff. inf files you need to cp
[12:03] <Gnea> ahmed: Gnome is a resource hog, consider kubuntu or ebuntu
[12:03] <kitche> ahmed: you talking about ubuntu-studio or ubuntu
[12:03] <Balachmar> Hi, me again. the alternate install cd is now in my machine, but it won't boot
[12:03] <eternaljoy> ahmed: pls dont beg
[12:03] <MrMiste1> :P
[12:03] <zabin> Does anyone know of any dvd making software?
[12:03] <Ultima`> portofu:  Well, I have the wireless card installed under windows, but I have no idea which chipset it's using, it's an HP internal-USB special, but I read about 6 months ago that the drivers for it do work
[12:03] <zabin> to burn dvds in the dvd format like nero does
[12:03] <eternaljoy> MrMiste1: :-)
[12:03] <portofu> Ultima`: run lspci -v
[12:03] <Gnea> eternaljoy: please don't use pls
[12:04] <portofu> and look for it
[12:04] <Balachmar> Any idea on how to make the alternate cd boot?
[12:04] <magnetron> zabin: no, true. you need another program for that, don't remember it's name though
[12:04] <habeeb> time to contribute using my wisdom <:
[12:04] <MrMiste1> sudo apt-get install mandvd
[12:04] <MrMiste1> oh no wait
[12:04] <MrMiste1> you have to get the package from their website
[12:04] <andi5> Gnea: i do not think that is correct... do you mean a particular application being a memory hog?
[12:04] <MrMiste1> google mandvd
[12:04] <kitche> Balachmar: it should boot automatically how did you burn it
[12:04] <eternaljoy> Gnea: why not. pls explain ;)
[12:04] <Gnea> eternaljoy: nevermind.
[12:04] <zabin> MrMiste1 are you talking to me?
[12:04] <taime1> "we are the knights who say 'Gnea'!"
[12:04] <MrMiste1> i am
[12:04] <eternaljoy> Gnea: ok :-)
[12:04] <MrMiste1> sorry
[12:04] <BlueEagle> balachmar: That should boot if you burn the image to the cd. (ie. don't burn the .iso file as a file to the cd, but the data contained within the .iso file)
[12:04] <Balachmar> kitche: gnomebaker
[12:04] <earth-dragon> Balachmar: did you modify your bios boot sequence
[12:04] <portofu> Balachmar: did you md5sum the alternate iso before you burn it?
[12:04] <kitche> Balachmar: did you burn it as an image or just the iso file
[12:05] <portofu> kitche: ROFL
[12:05] <kbrooks> !wine
[12:05] <Balachmar> portofu: I didn't md5
[12:05] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[12:05] <kbrooks> !install
[12:05] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - See also !automate
[12:05] <Balachmar> I burned the image ofcourse :)
[12:05] <kitche> portofu: hey it happens
[12:05] <Gnea> andi5: no, gnome is nothing more than a bunch of libraries that load into memory to support a gnome application. take a look at how it's actually written at the source code level and you'll see.
[12:05] <magnetron> zabin: DeVeDe
[12:05] <portofu> kitche: *nods*
[12:05] <MrMiste1> zabin: i imagine you saying that ikerobert de niro
[12:05] <GFT20> MAC ANYONE?
[12:05] <eternaljoy> has anyone here got BattleField 2141 to run and work on Fesity just using Wine?
[12:05] <MrMiste1> *robert
[12:05] <habeeb> GFT20: you mean ppc?
[12:05] <MrMiste1> *like robert
[12:05] <BlueEagle> balachmar: It's a lame question I know, but it's the most common error. Would you mind double-checking it?
[12:05] <MrMiste1> darn typos
[12:05] <eternaljoy> GFT20: I dont eat that sloppy food
[12:05] <Balachmar> BE: ofcourse
[12:05] <ROnewbie> portofu: sorry, i was disconnected, i didn't get any message after i sent you the wi-fi card number
[12:06] <ROnewbie> portofu: any ideas /
[12:06] <ROnewbie> ?
[12:06] <magnetron> eternaljoy: i can recommend http://appdb.winehq.org
[12:06] <Ultima`> portofu:  It's not listed under lspci, as it's a USB wireless adapter
[12:06] <portofu> ROnewbie: i'm not too sure about realtek chipset. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=451595&highlight=RT2561
[12:06] <Balachmar> It is burned ok
[12:06] <GFT20> I think both Linux and Apple should forget their differences, and work together to accomplish the death of Microsoft :)
[12:06] <BlueEagle> magnetron: Has the appdb been rebuildt?
[12:06] <portofu> Ultima`: then lsusb :)
[12:06] <eternaljoy> magnetron: you are not being helpful
[12:06] <Balachmar> In my own ubuntu system it is automatically detected as a source of packages
[12:06] <habeeb> GFT20: Good idea... But I don't think it's the right place to discuss such things.
[12:06] <Gnea> GFT20: try #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:06] <mwe> shouldn't login be last thing to happen during boot? This is what happens here http://erup.eu/CIMG0863.JPG. somewhat odd.
[12:06] <earth-dragon> GFT20: please, apple is almost as bad as MS
[12:06] <eternaljoy> magnetron: I didnt ask for any recommendations or links. I asked "has anyone here got BattleField 2141 to run and work on Fesity just using Wine?"
[12:06] <andi5> Gnea: so what?  of course the main functionality is provided by shared libraries... is that different in kde?
[12:06] <portofu> ROnewbie: but i beleive the driver you have right now probably is old. having power tranmission issues. like my bcm43xx
[12:06] <und3ad> how can i remove those from desktop ? http://photos.piry.net/view/25192Screenshot.png -> nothing found in gconf-editor....
[12:07] <eternaljoy> magnetron: I was seeking a Yes or No
[12:07] <GFT20> nothing is as bad as MS
[12:07] <habeeb> earth-dragon: "bad" lol
[12:07] <whonicca> question about the mplayer=skins package, how come it doesnt add any extra skins to mplayer?, also when i do a search for it in my system via aptitude search mplayer-skins i get this - > i A mplayer-skins- Skins for the Ubuntu mplayer Package, i kno the i stands for installed, what does the A stand for?
[12:07] <BlueEagle> eternaljoy: Are you conducting a survey?
[12:07] <eternaljoy> BlueEagle: just asking
[12:07] <Gnea> andi5: kde falls into the same category, only it's a bit faster... they're both really lowly interfaces, but they get the job done, so no one really cares
[12:07] <MrMiste1> 1942 runs fine
[12:07] <whonicca> kde is faster than gnome?
[12:07] <MrMiste1> check winehq
[12:07] <eternaljoy> MrMiste1: you got it working?
[12:07] <BlueEagle> eternaljoy: Then I would suggest !offtopic tbh.
[12:07] <habeeb> whonicca: some times yes, some times no.
[12:08] <KingPython> which lcd is better for ubuntu asus or philips (and am i buy 17' or wide screen)?
[12:08] <ROnewbie> portofu: by "driver" you mean the software or the actual, physical, card /
[12:08] <magnetron> eternaljoy: most questions in this channel start with "does anyone..." i was doing my best to be helpful, i did not know if you knew about that site
[12:08] <eternaljoy> BlueEagle: tbh?
[12:08] <habeeb> whonicca: it depends on what you are running, the applications etc.
[12:08] <BlueEagle> eternaljoy: to be honest.
[12:08] <ROnewbie> portofu: the laptop's brand news.
[12:08] <MrMiste1> eternaljoy: 1942 works, i don't know if that came out before or after 2141
[12:08] <Ultima`> portofu:  It's probably inside the list, but I don't recognize "Alcor", it shows up in iwconfig, but I don't know how to get the hardware address out of it
[12:08] <eternaljoy> magnetron: ok cheers
[12:08] <andi5> Gnea: do you speak about responsiveness, memory consumption or something different? :-) ... well, i guess we can stop the discussion here :-)
[12:08] <Gnea> whonicca: fluxbox is faster than gnome and kde, so is enlightenment
[12:08] <ROnewbie> portofu: *new
[12:08] <whonicca> ok any info on the mplayer-skins package?
[12:08] <earth-dragon> und3ad: in gconf-editor go to apps, nautilus, and then desktop i think, there is some setting there, let me check
[12:08] <Gnea> andi5: yes. :)
[12:08] <Balachmar> it works after I went into the bios again.... strange...
[12:08] <eternaljoy> MrMiste1: im not interested in 1942. im asking about BF2142
[12:08] <MrMiste1> I know
[12:08] <MrMiste1> I'm just checking winehq
[12:09] <portofu> ROnewbie & Ultima`: what laptop is this?
[12:09] <shrimants> >_< oh god i could either fiddle with linuix all night -OR- if im lucky i'll get a blind date
[12:09] <shrimants> god this town sucks
[12:09] <portofu> ROnewbie: search around the forums
[12:09] <wonderl00t> what is the command line to open up "system monitor" ?
[12:09] <ROnewbie> portofu: MSI S271X
[12:09] <Ultima`> portofu:  Mine's no laptop, it's an HP s7600n desktop.
[12:09] <Gnea> shrimants: where are you at?
[12:09] <und3ad> earth-dragon: tnx... problem solved
[12:09] <und3ad> :D
[12:09] <shrimants> Novi, Michigan
[12:09] <shrimants> zip code 48374
[12:09] <andi5> wonderl00t: gnome-system-monitor
[12:09] <Gnea> lol
[12:09] <earth-dragon> undead: yeah, what i siad and then uncheck volumes visable, then you may have to reboot
[12:09] <wonderl00t> andi5: thanks
[12:10] <earth-dragon> und3ad: no prob
[12:10] <BlueEagle> whonicca: You can "slim down" KDE quiet a bit as most of the eye candy is configurable. However QT is a huge and memory hungry widget set. If speed is an issue and you're not running any QT apps then there are faster alternatives. However if you run only QT apps then KDE would make more sense than Gnome as gnome requires GTK libs whilst the QT apps still require QT libs to be loaded.
[12:10] <Spar1> does ubuntu support Amd dual core or do you need an update for that?
[12:10] <MrMiste1> eternaljoy: which version of buntu are you running?
[12:10] <shrimants> heres my options for hanging out 1) eat something, 2) see a movie, 3) get drunk
[12:10] <eternaljoy> MrMiste1: feisty
[12:10] <shrimants> and i already got drunk yesterday (still de-toxing
[12:10] <portofu> Ultima`: there is 2 things to wifi in *nix. you have the drivers either 1) built-into the kernel 2) you optionally installed. and firmware. most of the time lspci/lsusb/iwlist would list your wifi is there but there is no firmware to load it
[12:10] <Zvezdichko`OFF> hey? Anybody tried KDE 4 ( the earliest alpha version ? )
[12:10] <shrimants> and im getting drunk again monday
[12:10] <habeeb> Zvezdichko`OFF: I'm planning to, next week :)
[12:10] <eternaljoy> shrimants: you proud of that filthy behaviour?
[12:11] <habeeb> eternaljoy: oh shi-
[12:11] <shrimants> eternaljoy: no. its fun as fuck tho
[12:11] <portofu> Ultima`: make sure you 'actually' have firmware too in /lib/firmware
[12:11] <MrMiste1> eternaljoy: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=6637 it looks like you might have to try it and see (if you already own it)
[12:11] <Zvezdichko`OFF> habeeb, great... I do hope it won't mess with the normal KDE installation
[12:11] <fabiovalinhos> i have a question , is there in synaptic some function that show  the packages blocked??
[12:11] <shrimants> my bad @ swearing, btw
[12:11] <habeeb> Did someone say straight edge? Because I'm sure that someone said straight edge
[12:11] <portofu> now whose gay?
[12:11] <habeeb> Zvezdichko`OFF: It won't.
[12:11] <BlueEagle> zvezdichko`off: I thikn that's a question for #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:11] <portofu> oops, wrong window
[12:11] <habeeb> portofu: you are joking right?
[12:12] <hypn0> :-))
[12:12] <habeeb> I hope :P
[12:12] <andi5> mine!
[12:12] <MrMiste1> eternaljoy: it got a silver compatability score, which means one or two minor problems, but it should be very playable
[12:12] <Ultima`> portofu:  There's only 2 things in lsusb that could possibly be my wireless card.  Also, the ubuntu widget for wirless up in the upper-right hand corner does show the wireless networks nearby, but is seemingly unable to connect to them, especially my WPA network where it says something along the lines of "Hardware doesn't have the capabilities"
[12:12] <portofu> no, why would i be joking? there is driver and firmware
[12:12] <MrMiste1> if you were using edgy it just wouldn't run at all
[12:12] <MrMiste1> but feisty is smooooth
[12:13] <Zvezdichko`OFF> BlueEagle, ok ;) Joining there :) Didn't suppose there's such channel
[12:13] <habeeb> eternaljoy: and getting drunk is not filthy behaviour.
[12:13] <portofu> you have to have wpa-supplement?
[12:13] <[zan] > Hi, Has anyone had problem receiving DCC with xchat on feisty? Chatzilla seems to work fine on same machine..
[12:13] <BlueEagle> ultima`: sounds like missing firmware.
[12:13] <portofu> Ultima`: what BlueEagle said
[12:13] <Ultima`> How would I aquire such firmware?
[12:13] <portofu> google it
[12:13] <portofu> www.linuxwireless.org
[12:13] <shrimants> getting drunk is only filthy behaviour if you know you shouldnt be. or if ur a raging alchoholic

[12:14] <Ultima`> portofu:  Looks like a good place for me to get started  :)
[12:14] <habeeb> shrimants: and start masturbating in front of everyone, and rape your sister
[12:14] <shrimants> lmfao
[12:14] <habeeb> yes thats quite filthy behaviour..
[12:14] <eternaljoy> habeeb: you will realise when you get older what I mean
[12:14] <shrimants> wake up wondering why there are random pairs of boxers on your head
[12:14] <merzbow> is there a good translation program I can  find for ubuntu? I need to translate something from english to spanish .. :d

[12:15] <Balachmar> is lvm computationally intensive?
[12:15] <eternaljoy> habeeb: lol
[12:15] <BlueEagle> !language
[12:15] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[12:15] <mjr> Balachmar, no
[12:15] <habeeb> BlueEagle: ?
[12:15] <eternaljoy> Balachmar: define computationally intensive
[12:15] <merzbow> hmm
[12:15] <Balachmar> mjr: ok thanks
[12:15] <habeeb> you are testing your macros? :P
[12:15] <andi5> merzbow: emacs is nice, of course... maybe kbabel(something), poedit
[12:15] <shrimants> right, back on topic, can someone help me fine-tune my speakres?
[12:15] <habeeb> shrimants: what's your problem, son?
[12:15] <eternaljoy> Balachmar: computationally intensive is relative
[12:15] <Balachmar> eternaljoy: that a p4 1.7 GHz would significantly slow down
[12:16] <merzbow> andi5,  thanks I'll try those
[12:16] <BlueEagle> habeeb: No, I just don't think talk of drugs and rape belong in a support channel. Thank you.
[12:16] <eternaljoy> Balachmar: not a p4 1.7
[12:16] <nelsonuwp> my firefox seems to run really slow now in 7.04... any ideas?
[12:16] <eternaljoy> Balachmar: a billisecond
[12:16] <portofu> merzbow: scim?
[12:16] <portofu> oh, translation, n/m
[12:16] <Ultima`> In a lsusb list, an entry like "058f:6362", the 058f is the vendor ID and the 6362 is the device ID?
[12:16] <andi5> merzbow: there are probably others as well, ... my main point was to promote the po-mode of emacs ;-) (gettext-emacs package or so)
[12:16] <Balachmar> eternaljoy: ok thanks, just thought that the installer was hanging a bit too lang, but it has proceeded already :)\
[12:16] <habeeb> BlueEagle: I only mentioned rape once. And you pasted the macros 2-3 times. Just wondering. Thank you.
[12:16] <shrimants> ok, i have a subwoofer on bottom of my laptop and 2 PC Speakers. i want the sub and the speakers to be controlled as one unit, because right now, the volume down makes the subwoofer stay on and the pc speaker go lower
[12:17] <shrimants> pc speakers are built in, btw
[12:17] <eternaljoy> Balachmar: the installer should be fast!  where u get it from?
[12:17] <earth-dragon> nelsonuwp: Slow how? load time or page load time?
[12:17] <merzbow> andi5, I didn't know it could do that...heh
[12:17] <andi5> merzbow: gettext-el actually
[12:17] <Uzuul> can somebody tell me how can I request an official ubuntu mailing list (for the Ubuntu Media Center project)?
[12:17] <nelsonuwp> earth-dragon: yeah.. a combination of that and it takes longer to switch tabs.. compared to before
[12:17] <habeeb> shrimants: hmm. sorry no idea. someone else may be able to help you tho.
[12:17] <Balachmar> eternaljoy: it is doing the calculations of the partitions, I got it from the ubuntu website a mirror at a university
[12:18] <nelsonuwp> earth-dragon: i dont think its my computer... or at least it shouldnt be
[12:18] <eternaljoy> Balachmar: using Ubuntu, the "installer" is apt-get downloading and then installing to HDD!  that speed has nothing to do with load times etc
[12:18] <shrimants> poodoo
[12:18] <eternaljoy> Balachmar: you talking about VLC?
[12:18] <reacocard> Is anyone here familiar with the Falcon repository builder? I can't figure out how to get the 'desc' files to work.
[12:18] <rescon> has anyone figured out how to connect to a university's wireless network that uses resnet with ubuntu?
[12:18] <habeeb> nelsonuwp: what do you mean "slow"? the scrolling is slow?
[12:18] <habeeb> the site loading?
[12:18] <Balachmar> eternaljoy: I am talking about the alternate install cd installation procedure :)
[12:18] <earth-dragon> nelsonuwp: sorry, i am afraid i don't know, you could try a lighter browser though, is this consistant or just this session?
[12:19] <eternaljoy> Balachmar: ah sorry. i thought u said VLC :P
[12:19] <habeeb> oh sorry, just saw your replies nelsonuwp
[12:19] <nelsonuwp> habeeb: yeah its loading fine but switching tabs and such.. takes more time
[12:19] <Balachmar> eternaljoy: no worries
[12:19] <rescon> anyone?
[12:19] <shiryu> hello im trying to change the icon for my firefox, but when i tried to extract a icon to the folder pixmax it says that i dont have the permision, i go to properties and permissions and it says that the owner is root
[12:19] <shiryu> what can i do?
[12:19] <wasm> hi
[12:19] <eternaljoy> Balachmar: im going back to sleep now ;)
[12:19] <shiryu> im the only that use this computer
[12:19] <taime1> shiryu: 'sudo nautilus' in a terminal
[12:19] <habeeb> nelsonuwp: and that has been happening to you from the "start"?
[12:20] <shiryu> how can i do this taimel?
[12:20] <BlueEagle> shiryu: One of two things. A) Put the icon somewhere else or B) unpack it to your home folder and then use sudo to move (mv) it.
[12:20] <MrMiste1> I got soul but I'm not a SysAdmin
[12:20] <nelsonuwp> habeeb: yeah
[12:20] <Balachmar> eternaljoy: good night then :P
[12:20] <BlueEagle> !sudo | shiryu
[12:20] <ubotu> shiryu: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[12:20] <eternaljoy> Balachmar: its 8am :)
[12:20] <Balachmar> eternaljoy: you were already doing a great job :P
[12:20] <andi5> shiryu: why is it owned by root at all? ... oh, and do not start a gui app with sudo (nautilus will not even do, but rather popup the running instance)
[12:20] <Balachmar> eternaljoy: here it is 00:20
[12:20] <habeeb> nelsonuwp: First of all, if you are having scrolling problems try disabling Smooth Scrolling and Auto-scrolling. It really helped me.
[12:20] <nelsonuwp> habeeb: when its loading a web page its hard to do anyhting on my computer
[12:20] <eternaljoy> Balachmar: you are too young to be up so late
[12:20] <rescon> ugh
[12:21] <shiryu> ok ill check the page
[12:21] <trenq> what do you have to do after apt-get install irssi
[12:21] <BlueEagle> andi5: All icons in /usr/share/pixmaps are owned by root aren't they?
[12:21] <nelsonuwp> habeeb: its weird never happened in older versions
[12:21] <habeeb> trenq: run it?
[12:21] <trenq> how lol
[12:21] <Balachmar> eternaljoy: how would you know my age?
[12:21] <shrimants> eternaljoy, u sound like ur 90
[12:21] <eternaljoy> trenq: lol

[12:21] <raf256> hmm
[12:21] <trenq> itsays weird stuff
[12:21] <earth-dragon> nelsonuwp: how long has this been happening
[12:21] <eternaljoy> Balachmar: I know you are only 15
[12:21] <andi5> BlueEagle: i read something about "trying to extract the pixmap"
[12:21] <Balachmar> eternaljoy: lol
[12:21] <eternaljoy> shrimants: 86 actually
[12:21] <nelsonuwp> earth-dragon: ever since i installed 7.04
[12:21] <shrimants> well that explains it
[12:21] <habeeb> nelsonuwp: So the bloat happened after an upgrade? Why don't you try downgrading?
[12:21] <eternaljoy> shrimants: ;)
[12:22] <spike723_> anyone know how to get 7.04 to boot off of an external cdrom drive?
[12:22] <shrimants> welcome to the 21st century
[12:22] <shrimants> lol
[12:22] <trenq> it says i have to read faqs lol
[12:22] <spike723_> anyone know how to get 7.04 to boot off of an external hard drive
[12:22] <spike723_> ?
[12:22] <nelsonuwp> habeeb: i like 7.04 better than edgy
[12:22] <eternaljoy> spike723_: check your BIOS
[12:22] <shrimants> free liquor for everyone! sex is just around the corner, wait till ur 12 to masturbate
[12:22] <wasm> What are the differences in pcmcia card drivers between 6.10 and 7.04 6.1 finds my pcmcia wireless card and will let me run it 7.04 will not .
[12:22] <habeeb> nelsonuwp: aw.. you mean a distro upgrade.. I thought just a Firefox upgrade..
[12:22] <earth-dragon> nelsonuwp: hmm, you could try installing an older version of firefox
[12:22] <Chicory> Has anyone had any luck getting Plantronics Bluetooth headsets to communicate with Ubuntu?
[12:22] <nelsonuwp> habeeb: oh yeah
[12:22] <shrimants> wow people are so corrupt
[12:22] <Gnea> spike723_: tell your bios to boot from USB-HDD
[12:22] <Chicory> hidd --search doesn't appear to be working.
[12:22] <eternaljoy> spike723_: on my system I press ESC or F11 and im giving an option which device to boot from
[12:22] <nelsonuwp> earth-dragon: i just used the one it gave me
[12:22] <BlueEagle> !anyone | chicory
[12:22] <chrisbudden14> anyone know how i can install taglib-sharp on ubuntu?
[12:22] <ubotu> chicory: 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?
[12:22] <ctothej> i need a recommendation for a sound card with spdif output. what works well with ubuntu?
[12:23] <eternaljoy> spike723_: does your BIOS support that?
[12:23] <habeeb> nelsonuwp: Hmm...
[12:23] <ompaul> !language | shrimants
[12:23] <ubotu> shrimants: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[12:23] <nelsonuwp> habeeb: could it be eating my memory?
[12:23] <earth-dragon> nelsonuwp: sorry, I am only a semi-knowledgeable geek, i really dont know
[12:23] <Gnea> shrimants: would you shut up already and take it elsewhere?
[12:23] <shiryu> ubotu can you tell me how to run this? i dont understand how to run this, im new using linux
[12:23] <habeeb> nelsonuwp: I, unfortunately, don't know anything else for you to try.. You may try filling a bug report and providing a valgrind log, to check the memory usage.
[12:23] <eternaljoy> shrimants: lol
[12:23] <habeeb> shiryu: ubotu is a bot :)
[12:23] <shrimants> yeah i know
[12:24] <spike723_> Exposure`: yeah the bios supports it, but grub gives "error 17"
[12:24] <shiryu> ok
[12:24] <Chicory> Restatement:  How do I get a Plantronics 320 to play nice-nice with my Bluetooth adapter?
[12:24] <spike723_> I'm wondering if I can set up syslinux or something like that
[12:24] <shiryu> someone can help me?
[12:24] <Gnea> shrimants: if you want to provide an acceptable offering, /join #ubuntu-offtopic, please, an dtalk there instead of here.
[12:24] <nelsonuwp> habeeb: is there a place where i can change how much memory firefox uses?
[12:24] <BlueEagle> shiryu: ubotu is a bot (short for robot), not an actual person. :)
[12:24] <habeeb> shiryu: what was your question, sorry?
[12:24] <spike723_> FreeBSD boots fine off the external usb hard drive
[12:24] <pedro__> How Do I Change The Gnome Splash?
[12:24] <eternaljoy> spike723_: what?  you mean you have created a LiveCD and it gives "error 17"???
[12:24] <habeeb> nelsonuwp: I don't think so. But I'm not sure. Btw have you tried removing extensions and the rest?
[12:24] <habeeb> nelsonuwp: or trying with a new profile?
[12:24] <earth-dragon> shiryu: try typing into the terminal "sudo nautilus"
[12:24] <eternaljoy> spike723_: how dod you create the Ubuntu LiveCD?
[12:24] <ror> pedro__, gTweakui can do that I think
[12:24] <spike723_> I was able to install ubuntu to the external hard drive
[12:25] <ror> not sure tho
[12:25] <nelsonuwp> habeeb: no.. i dont have any extensions
[12:25] <spike723_> but now it doesn't boot up
[12:25] <habeeb> nelsonuwp: :/
[12:25] <shrimants> allright, tho im still wondering who knows anything about configuring ALSA and messing with drivers/media keys
[12:25] <spike723_> I installed off the regular install cd
[12:25] <shiryu> habeeb i want to change my firefox icon but when i want to extract the new icon in the pixmax folder it says i dont have permision
[12:25] <merzbow> andi5, You think I can translate a pdf using emacs
[12:25] <eternaljoy> spike723_: so whats thaT got to do with CD?
[12:25] <shiryu> earth-dragon how i do this
[12:25] <kitche> shiryu: sudo
[12:25] <shiryu> what terminal
[12:25] <habeeb> shiryu: how did you try to extract that icon?
[12:25] <spike723_> eternaljoy: nothing that was a typo
[12:25] <shiryu> soorry but im new in linux
[12:25] <mar77i> hello there! got a small question. for my router there only seems to exist a web-based interface. how could I automatize reconnecting its ppp conn?
[12:25] <Gnea> !splash
[12:25] <ubotu> To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor.
[12:25] <andi5> merzbow: oh.... you were referring to a pdf?
[12:25] <habeeb> shrimants: alsamixer? :3
[12:25] <earth-dragon> shiryu: go to applications > accessories > terminal
[12:26] <eternaljoy> spike723_: ok!  then when you see the menu, hit "e"
[12:26] <andi5> merzbow: this would require an answer to "how can i edit a pdf file" first :-)
[12:26] <eternaljoy> spike723_: tell me where its pointing to
[12:26] <shiryu> and then earth-dragon?
[12:26] <shrimants> habeeb, i dont really know, the problem is detailed on http://shrimants.blogspot.com
[12:26] <habeeb> shrimants: I'm without X at the moment :P
[12:26] <spike723_> Exposure`: you mean root (hd1,0)?
[12:26] <eternaljoy> spike723_: make sure its pointing to the right HDD.  hd0 etc
[12:26] <eternaljoy> spike723_: yes!  whats it say?
[12:26] <spike723_> yeah I've already verified that
[12:27] <earth-dragon> shiryu: type "sudo nautilus"
[12:27] <shrimants> habeeb, yeah i did that last night accidentally
[12:27] <spike723_> grub doesn't work
[12:27] <eternaljoy> spike723_: change it to root (hd0,0
[12:27] <jsubl2> does gaim support webcams
[12:27] <spike723_> eternaljoy: hd0,0 is running windows
[12:27] <andi5> jsubl2: ekiga should do
[12:27] <eternaljoy> spike723_: then load a LiveCD and install Grub to it
[12:27] <eternaljoy> spike723_: no you are wrong
[12:27] <jsubl2> ok tx andi5
[12:27] <andre_pl> i just took out an ATI Card and popped in an nvidia card, obviously xorg wont start, but how can I make it go back to using its default config.
[12:27] <bruenig> jsubl2, gaim does not
[12:27] <earth-dragon> shiryu: type then give it your password, if you dont see anything while your typing it thats normal
[12:27] <eternaljoy> spike723_: if its on external hdd, its hd0,0
[12:27] <merzbow> andi5, well, I can copy the text from the pdf file at least
[12:27] <jsubl2> ok tx bruenig
[12:28] <eternaljoy> spike723_: its irrelevant what windows runs on other hdd
[12:28] <nelsonuwp> habeeb: i think i found somthing
[12:28] <eternaljoy> spike723_: trust me, I been up this road before
[12:28] <bruenig> !xconfig | andre_pl
[12:28] <ubotu> andre_pl: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  - To configure only the driver and resolution, type  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh  - See also !FixRes
[12:28] <habeeb> nelsonuwp: ?
[12:28] <shiryu> earth-dragon it says initializing something
[12:28] <eternaljoy> spike723_: i used to think like you, and i learned its wrong reasoning
[12:28] <shiryu> what i do
[12:28] <nelsonuwp> habeeb: http://blog.andrewbeacock.com/2006/10/reduce-firefoxs-memory-usage.html
[12:28] <earth-dragon> good
[12:28] <eternaljoy> spike723_: press 'e" and change it to: hd0,0  and then press "b"
[12:28] <habeeb> nelsonuwp: I'm without a graphical environment right now. It will take a while for me to check it out.
[12:28] <wepeel> hi all. Is there an easy way to get the Nvidia GEForce 5200 FX card to play nice with OpenGL? My framerate is kind of pathetic...
[12:28] <habeeb> Moment.
[12:29] <eternaljoy> spike723_: is Grub installed on the exeternal hdd?
[12:29] <nelsonuwp> habeeb: well when you get a chance, check it out
[12:29] <nelsonuwp> earth-dragon: you too
[12:29] <kitche> wepeel: did you install the nvidia binary drivers?
[12:29] <andi5> merzbow: i do not really know what to recommend, given that i totally misunderstand what you wanted to do, and i still do not know what fits you best
[12:29] <shiryu> and then earth-dragon what i do? wait?
[12:29] <kitche> wepeel: but the 5xxxx series of FX is like an updated geforce 4 card :)
[12:29] <earth-dragon> shiryu: go to the place where you saved the archive, probably home/shiryu/Desktop, then try and open it
[12:29] <wepeel> kitche: I don't know. I'm using whatever was installed when I installed Ubuntu
[12:29] <andi5> merzbow: misunderstood, evven
[12:29] <shiryu> ok
[12:29] <shiryu> then?
[12:29] <kitche> wepeel: do glxinfo and see what it says for vendor
[12:29] <earth-dragon> shiryu: it opened a window right
[12:30] <habeeb> nelsonuwp: from what i see, that will only fix memory usage when Firefox is minimised..
[12:30] <eternaljoy> spike723_: where did you go? LOL
[12:30] <wepeel> kitche: SGI
[12:30] <nelsonuwp> habeeb: hmm
[12:30] <kitche> wepeel: ok you need to install the nvidia binary
[12:30] <shiryu> yer
[12:30] <habeeb> Anyone who knows a good terminal media player?
[12:30] <shiryu> yes
[12:30] <Ultima`> I have a USB wireless card, USB ID 15a9:0004.  It apparently is a Realtek RT2573 chipset, and ubuntu feisty is seeing it, sort of, through the wireless widget in the upper-right hand corner of the screen.  It cannot connect to WPA networks, what's the next step?
[12:30] <bruenig> habeeb, mplayer
[12:30] <wepeel> kitche: please say it's as easy as an apt-get
[12:31] <shiryu> yes then earth-dragon?
[12:31] <habeeb> bruenig: ehmm... not that many dependencies.
[12:31] <kitche> wepeel: yeah hang on a sec checking something
[12:31] <habeeb> bruenig: something more lightweight.
[12:31] <bruenig> mplayer doesn't have too many dependencies
[12:31] <merzbow> andi5,  oh ... well basically... I have a pdf in english...and I would like it to translate it into spanish ... or at least copy that text into another editor and translate it
[12:31] <earth-dragon> shiryu: click up once
[12:31] <crabgrass> is there any way i can pass a command i want to run in terminal to xterm, so that it both starts the terminal (and keeps it open) and executes the command?
[12:31] <nelsonuwp> habeeb: this may work too http://www.zolved.com/synapse/view_content/24939/How_to_reduce_the_memory_usage_on_Firefox#mcf
[12:31] <wepeel> kitche: I've had problems with X for so many years...if this is going to make X unusable I'll deal with the slow framerate :)
[12:31] <habeeb> crabgrass: gnome-terminal -e <command> ?
[12:31] <petafile> HOw do you add modules to be autoloaded?
[12:32] <shiryu> ok
[12:32] <andi5> merzbow: and what do you want the application to do for you?
[12:32] <crabgrass> habeeb: with or without <>'s?
[12:32] <kitche> wepeel: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx and then gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf change nv to nvidia
[12:32] <andre_pl> bruenig: did that, but now i'm getting no screens found. i've got it trying to boot up JUTS on my tv with nomonitor atached.
[12:32] <bruenig> crabgrass, use the xterm option to do it and put & after the command to keep it open
[12:32] <wepeel> kitche: then reboot?
[12:32] <habeeb> crabgrass: command is the command you would like to execute. Without the <>
[12:32] <merzbow> andi5,  well ... translate the text .. :)
[12:32] <earth-dragon> shiryu: then click on the home folder, then you user names folder, then go to whereever u saved the file and open it
[12:32] <xlinux__> anyone use konversation here?
[12:32] <merzbow> the same as those online cheap translators
[12:32] <crabgrass> so     xterm hostname      would do it?
[12:32] <kitche> wepeel: then restart X with sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart or you can ctrl+alt+backspace
[12:32] <wasm> xlinux: I am using it ?
[12:32] <andi5> merzbow: ah... so not YOU want to translate it, but rather want to let IT do it :)
[12:33] <habeeb> crabgrass: I may have misunderstood your question, tho.
[12:33] <wepeel> kitche: ok, be right back I hope
[12:33] <wepeel> kitche: thanks!
[12:33] <merzbow> andi5, precisely
[12:33] <p1ls1> siema
[12:34] <crabgrass> habeeb: no, that's it... except i can't get the xterm window to stay open
[12:34] <andi5> merzbow: maybe gnome-translate? ... *going to install and test it*
[12:34] <shiryu> ok then earht-dragon?
[12:34] <habeeb> crabgrass: you typed that command in an xterm window?
[12:34] <p1ls1> siema
[12:34] <habeeb> crabgrass: and then you want to continue to use the xterm?
[12:34] <earth-dragon> shiryu: did you open the file
[12:34] <shiryu> yea
[12:34] <petafile> How does one autoload modules in ubuntu?
[12:34] <shiryu> yes
[12:35] <spike723_> e
[12:35] <Pelo> peta  sudo modprobe
[12:35] <Pelo> petafile, man modeprobe
[12:35] <kinkin> is there a command to install .rpm's in ubuntu? or any one know how to install vmwaretools in fiesty?
[12:35] <crabgrass> habeeb: i'm trying to make a shortcut on my desktop that will open terminal then run a terminal command in that window, keeping that window open so i can check on it's status
[12:35] <earth-dragon> shiryu: is it opened in a window called archive manager, or something/
[12:35] <Pelo> modprobe
[12:35] <spike723_> eternaljoy: there is no livecd for 7.04?
[12:35] <spike723_> grub is installed on the external hard drive
[12:35] <kitche> !alien | kinkin
[12:35] <ubotu> kinkin: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[12:35] <kitche> !rpm | kinkin
[12:35] <eternaljoy> spike723_: who told you that?
[12:35] <Pelo> spike723_,  it's called desktop cd now, it's still a live cd
[12:35] <homanj> crabgrass: sounds like you want to write a shell script
[12:36] <kitche> oh it does the rpm one with alien :)
[12:36] <earth-dragon> shiryu: is it opened in a window called archive manager, or something?
[12:36] <habeeb> crabgrass: what kind of a command? gnome-terminal -e <command> should open a new terminal executing <command> . except if the command ends with a return code of true/false.
[12:36] <eternaljoy> spike723_: did you do 'e" and change the root?
[12:36] <bruenig> crabgrass, something like this: xterm -e "hostname && read"
[12:36] <crabgrass> homanj: ohh
[12:36] <merzbow> andi5, hmm I'll try that
[12:36] <spike723_> yeah it gave me an error
[12:36] <wasm> eternaljoy:  Yes there is I downloaded and made one
[12:36] <kinkin> kitche: thanks, any idea on installing vmware tools?
[12:36] <petafile> Pelo, that will load it now, but how to I make it autoload on boot?
[12:36] <petafile> In gentoo there
[12:36] <homanj> crabgrass: or listen to habeeb, :)
[12:36] <habeeb> petafile: I know how to do it in gentoo..
[12:36] <crabgrass> bruenig: ah, that seems to work
[12:36] <Block> How shall I play spanned rar-archives?
[12:36] <petafile> 's and /etc/modules.autoload.d file or something, but I didn't see that here
[12:36] <spike723_> so there is no seperate livecd for 7.04?
[12:36] <habeeb> petafile: aww..
[12:36] <eternaljoy> wasm: tell that to spike723_ ;)
[12:36] <spike723_> the install cd and the livecd are the same thing?
[12:37] <andi5> merzbow: it seems like that it translates word by word, .... maybe that is enough for you?
[12:37] <beerockxs> hey, I just installed wireless lan here, and now regularly have a 1.5 second lag about every 5 second.
[12:37] <Pelo> petafile, you might have to add it to one of the init files,  not sure which
[12:37] <shiryu> mm i think no earth-dragon
[12:37] <eternaljoy> spike723_: what did you change it to?
[12:37] <beerockxs> anyone have an idea what might cause that?
[12:37] <Pelo> petafile, http://book.opensourceproject.org.cn/distrib/ubuntu/unleashed/
[12:37] <kitche> Block: extract the first one then the others should follow it shoudl do it automatically
[12:37] <wasm> eternaljoy : think others have
[12:37] <habeeb> petafile: the relevant file in gentoo is :  /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
[12:37] <spike723_> I tried hd(0,0)
[12:37] <habeeb> *folder
[12:37] <eternaljoy> spike723_: did you install Ubuntu on the whole external hdd?
[12:37] <Block> kitche: I do not want to extract...
[12:37] <eternaljoy> spike723_: what partitin did tyou install it to?
[12:37] <kitche> Block: well you will have to
[12:37] <spike723_> Exposure`: I installed ubuntu on the whole external hard drive
[12:37] <pike_> spike723_, there is the livecd/installer, the text based installercd. and the textbased server installcd
[12:37] <earth-dragon> shiryu: try right clicking on the arshive and then click extract here
[12:37] <crabgrass> bruenig, homanj, habeeb: thanks for the help!
[12:37] <habeeb> crabgrass: did you do it?
[12:37] <kinkin> kitche: nevermind, i think i found it.. lol, thanks for the help
[12:38] <wasm> eternaljoy: my issue with that release is that it won't recognise my wireless configuration
[12:38] <merzbow> andi5, hmm not quite... I was hoping to translate the whole document at once :\
[12:38] <crabgrass> habeeb: xterm -e "synergys -f --config ~/synergy.conf && read"      did the trick
[12:38] <kitche> Block: you can't run something from a multispanned rar file
[12:38] <habeeb> crabgrass: I see.
[12:38] <crabgrass> habeeb: that was my command all along, i was just using hostname as a placeholder
[12:38] <Pelo> spike723_,  in grub (hd0,0)  is  (hdA,B) where  A is the hdd and B is the partition, the numbering starts with 0
[12:38] <andi5> merzbow: oh, well.... it has a big text field to insert your text :)
[12:39] <shiryu> ok im in archive manager earth-dragon
[12:39] <shiryu> now?
[12:39] <petafile> ah, seems its just /etc/modules
[12:39] <smo> humm i installed wine to have ie6 and see my prefered sport channel (eurosport) from the web i had to install those damn wmp too now wmp launch right bu say video unavailable ?? codec problem ??
[12:39] <habeeb> petafile: lol..
[12:39] <earth-dragon> shiryu: just click the extract button and chose where to extract the icon to
[12:39] <Block> kitche: XBMC plays spanned rar-files, it runs mplayer. I use mplayer on my ubuntu machine it plays single files or spanned if you add them to a playlist, the problem then is a small 500 ms gap between files
[12:39] <bruenig> smo, link to your site
[12:39] <wepeel> kitche: you still around
[12:39] <smo> player.eurosport.fr
[12:39] <merzbow> andi5,  i'll try it :)
[12:39] <smo> but u ll not be able to see that
[12:40] <Block> I wan to be able to play the files properly..
[12:40] <bruenig> weird
[12:40] <smo> i made mail to their services saying it s crazy to pay and can t see that on linux mac or firefox
[12:40] <smo> only windows!!!
[12:40] <habeeb> smo: did they reply?
[12:40] <smo> i tried wine virtualbox always same thing
[12:40] <habeeb> smo: "its crazy to pay"?
[12:40] <pike_> im thinking about making a seperate xfs partition for /tmp. thoughts on if that will improve performance noticably?
[12:40] <smo> not yet made it 5/6 hours ago
[12:40] <andi5> merzbow: automatic translators are so stupid... smells like a lot of manual fixing will be needed afterwards
[12:41] <smo> i m french sorry ...
[12:41] <wasm> does 7.04 install allow you to create a disk partition during the install ?
[12:41] <erUSUL> pike_: i do not think so
[12:41] <smo> it s 5 euro for 1 month
[12:41] <habeeb> smo: where is the crazeness in paying for a service?
[12:41] <smo> no
[12:41] <Pelo> smo,  don't appologise for your nationnality , there is no need
[12:41] <andi5> smo: it is ok, it is not your fault ;-)
[12:41] <smo> ok to pay for the service but why working only on those damn vista
[12:41] <wepeel> kitche: anyway, if you get this later, thankyouthankyou. OpenGL playing very nicely with the card now.
[12:41] <merzbow> andi5,  indeed...they will never be 100% correct..
[12:41] <SudoBash> seriously
[12:41] <beerockxs> hey, I just installed wireless lan here, and now regularly have a 1.5 second lag about every 5 second.
[12:41] <beerockxs> anyone have an idea what might cause that?

[12:42] <SudoBash> !!!!
[12:42] <SudoBash> DDOS

[12:42] <Pelo> damn gentoo geeks

[12:42] <SudoBash> can we?
[12:43] <GenNMX> Don't spread the hate!
[12:43] <andre_pl> how can I get  *DEFAULT* xorg.conf. one that will definitely start?
[12:43] <mc44> numist: \o/ thanks
[12:43] <erUSUL> andre_pl: try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'
[12:43] <pike_> i miss the old botwar days..
[12:43] <kitche> andi5: just in reverse order of the distros
[12:43] <GenNMX> andre_pl: mv your xorg.conf file to xorg.conf.back then sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[12:43] <habeeb> He did it to #gentoo too. But with the reverse message.
[12:43] <andre_pl> erUSUL: I did but I get a million questions.
[12:43] <andi5> kitche: i would like to know all pairs :) ... maybe #gnome <-> #kde as well? ;-)
[12:44] <habeeb> andi5: :P
[12:44] <IndyGunFreak> wow, i've never saw that happen before.
[12:44] <numist> that was a fun one
[12:44] <habeeb> numist: yeah especially the guys saying "let's do it to gentoo too"
[12:44] <crabgrass>  /agree
[12:44] <numist> they were two attacks though
[12:44] <crabgrass> raid on gentoo
[12:44] <crabgrass> this is war
[12:44] <numist> different hosts and nicks
[12:44] <habeeb> this is immaturity, sir.
[12:44] <Pelo> lets get together with the gentoo ppl and do it to ##windows
[12:44] <crabgrass> but really, what's the terminal command to launch add/remove programs?
[12:45] <numist> Pelo: lets not, that's one of my channels :P
[12:45] <crabgrass> immaturity? this! is! ubuntuuuuuuuuuu!
[12:45] <habeeb> Pelo: ##windows is just a support channel
[12:45] <bytekode`> crabgrass: gksu synaptic
[12:45] <crabgrass> bytekode`: thanks
[12:45] <numist> anyway, let's sit +r for a while

[12:45] <Zyfo> I get this: http://rafb.net/p/FjSIDW67.html when trying to upgrade to 7.04, it tells me I might have problems with my network, but internet etc is working just fine. Any idea what the problem is?
[12:45] <crabgrass> bytekode`: auactually, that didn't seem to do anything.
[12:46] <bytekode> should pop up a window and ask for your root pass then launch synaptic
[12:46] <bob301> what is the difference between gksu and sudo? When do you use one over the other?
[12:46] <crabgrass> bytekode: popped up the pword window,then nothing
[12:46] <bytekode> there's also gksudo :P
[12:46] <kitche> bob301: gksu is for graphical programs
[12:46] <Pelo> Zyfo,  you might find upgrading a smoother process if you do it from the alternate cd ,
[12:46] <IdleOne> Zyfo, have you done all the updates/upgrades? the network monitor sometimes doesnt work properly
[12:46] <kitche> bob301: gksu gksudo is the same thing
[12:46] <bytekode> bob301: you use the gk* ones when launching a gui application with root privileges
[12:46] <crabgrass> bytekode: oh, durp, spelled it wrong.
[12:47] <bytekode> :-)
[12:47] <habeeb> there was an article on why to use gksudo instead of sudo in GUI applications, in psychocats or whatever that site is called.
[12:47] <Zyfo> IdleOne, yepp, should have
[12:47] <Zyfo> Pelo, alternate cd? what's that?
[12:47] <crabgrass> bytekode: i meant the add/remove dialog, though, but my second question was going to be the package manager
[12:47] <Zyfo> IdleOne, atleast I can't find anymore updates that are possible to do
[12:47] <Pelo> !alternate > Zyfo  check pm
[12:47] <IdleOne> Zyfo, sudo aptitude dist-upgrade and see if anything is fixed

[12:49] <Pelo> Zyfo,  I just sent you the alternate install cd info and upgrade method info, you can upgrade using the alternate install cd ,  it's a little faster
[12:49] <shiryu> because i cant extract it in the folder that is needed
[12:49] <earth-dragon> shiryu: have you extracted it?
[12:49] <habeeb> bruenig: shuuuuut up.
[12:49] <shiryu> because it says that i havent the permision
[12:49] <kitche> section31: but in here sudo is prefered and recommanded really

[12:52] <andi5> habeeb: he can guess your password by looking at your mouse moves
[12:52] <earth-dragon> portxxx: u need use gconf-editor to do that
[12:52] <habeeb> andi5: :P
[12:52] <kitche> linxuz3r: yes it's possible
[12:52] <petafile> but re-adding the interface should be universal, right?
[12:52] <habeeb> shiryu: sudo mv <the file you want to move> <where you want to move it to>
[12:53] <freeza> petafile: not familiar with that model sorry
[12:53] <pike_> portxxx, i guess ls ~/Desktop   and then rm ~/Desktop/whatever    not sure from gui
[12:53] <linxuz3r> kitche: can you try in my system
[12:53] <earth-dragon> postxxx, want a walkthough?
[12:53] <petafile> freeza, did you read the second part, shouldn't re-adding eth1 be the same for any system
[12:53] <portxxx> sure earth-dragon
[12:53] <kitche> linxuz3r: sorry but I don't do that since it's way to easy for me to damage your system
[12:53] <wladimir> hi, howto setup the framebuffer for the terminals?
[12:54] <linxuz3r> kitche: just open a folder for me
[12:54] <earth-dragon> portxxx; launch gconf-editor by typing "gconf-editor into a terminal (or use alt+F2)
[12:54] <freeza> petafile: not really, it all depends on the chipset, for example my laptop uses atheros card so my wifi is ath0, some systems use wifi0 as well

[12:54] <freeza> petafile: you sure you have a bcm wireless chip?

[12:55] <wyth> Question all: How useful would a file tagging feature be in Ubuntu/Linux? What I'm thinking is a way to add tags to any file, and have a tagging search feature in nautilus. (Does konqueror/dolphin offer this?) For instance, I have quite a few articles I'm using for my PhD work. Some go in some folders, some go in others, but they cross-pollinate each other. However, if I could tag each file -- kubrick, 2001, symbolism, etc. -- and then run a

[12:57] <aricz> andi5: do you know how to modify colors in Ncurses? or the terminal for that matter
[12:57] <andi5> aricz: stupid question from me: maybe there is only color0 - color7? ;-)

[01:20] <ftv00es> hi! I have a question: I can delete files from my external drive. it says that it's on a read only disk. what can I do?
[01:20] <ftv00es> *can't
[01:20] <SudoBash> ftv00es
[01:20] <Lilacor> ftv00es: mount it as rw
[01:20] <Sh3r1ff_> ftv00es: sudo chmod a+rwx /media/usb
[01:21] <SudoBash> is it a ntfs partition
[01:21] <ward_> ftv00es, is the disk formatted as NTFS?
[01:21] <ftv00es> yeah ntfs
[01:21] <SudoBash> could be /media/sda
[01:21] <faight> excuse me, how do I change Screen RESOLUTION? i forgot
[01:21] <Lilacor> ftv00es: mount it using ntfs-3g
[01:21] <Rodel> Quick question: what is the difference between a logical and a primary partition?
[01:21] <habeeb> faight: GNOME?
[01:21] <Mark1776> Hi all - I am having a problem setting screen refresh rate: I have edited xorg.conf and set up vert & horz rates and set mode line, yet ubuntu GUI selector doesn't show new rates ? any ideas ?
[01:21] <SudoBash> !ntfs-3g
[01:21] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[01:21] <Loco_Man> can anyone help me with kubuntu?... the network works for like 2 or 3 minutes on boot and then just stops working...
[01:21] <faight> habeeb, not sure, default ubuntu live cd install
[01:21] <habeeb> faight: there should be an option in the Preferences menu
[01:21] <Sh3r1ff_> ftv00es: if it is ntfs ignore what i said
[01:21] <Lilacor> Rodel: if you're going to have more than four partitions, you're going to have to use logical parititons
[01:21] <habeeb> faight: aw.. you just finished your install and it's on 640x480?
[01:22] <Lilacor> partitions
[01:22] <ward_> ftv00es, i think ubuntu can't write to NTFS standard but there are tools (but i don't recall the name) to do it
[01:22] <faight> habeeb, sorry, i'm blind thanks
[01:22] <habeeb> faight: ok.
[01:22] <Lilacor> Loco_Man: what does your /var/log/messages say when your network connection dies?
[01:22] <faight> its always at 1280x1024 after i install and the picture looks awful, has lines going through it and stuff
[01:22] <Loco_Man> Lilacor: how do I see that?
[01:22] <ward_> ftv00es, or you could format is as FAT
[01:22] <ftv00es> so that means I can change write in the drive at all?
[01:22] <srbaker_> evening folks
[01:22] <Lilacor> Loco_Man: tail -f /var/log/messages.... or check 'dmesg'
[01:23] <ftv00es> it full of stuff, I can format
[01:23] <faight> habeeb, once I change resolution, it fixes the lines on video ^^^
[01:23] <ftv00es> *can't
[01:23] <Lilacor> ftv00es: mount it using ntfs-3g then
[01:23] <srbaker_> what's the current method for making X prettier.  it looks "blurry" next to my mac.
[01:23] <CaptainMorgan> faight, make sure your xorg.conf is setup appropriately
[01:23] <ward_> ftv00es, you can do so with a package (but i can't recall the name of that package)
[01:23] <habeeb> faight: Now it's ok? Didn't get it.
[01:23] <Ashex> i prefer dmesg | less
[01:23] <jscinoz> Hey everyone, whenever i start up ubunut X crashes with "Caught signal 11, exiting" i've tried running dpkg-reconfigure to no effect, what should i try now?
[01:23] <ward_> ftv00es, you can also format your drive as FAT
[01:23] <ftv00es> ok I'll try mounting it
[01:23] <ward_> ftv00es, formatting your drive as FAT solves the problem
[01:23] <bruenig> less is pretty much pointless outside of tty
[01:23] <Rodel> is ext3 partition format able to be used for Ubuntu?
[01:24] <habeeb> faight: I have to leave. Ask CaptainMorgan if you have any questions./
[01:24] <bruenig> Rodel, yes
[01:24] <Lilacor> jscinoz: check your xorg.conf file for errors
[01:24] <habeeb> Goodnight gentlemen.
[01:24] <ward_> ftv00es, but you'll have to make a backup from the disk forst, everything will be lost
[01:24] <faight> habeeb, i install, its default of 1280x1024, then i LOWER the resolution and the video lines disappear
[01:24] <Lilacor> jscinoz: also check your Xorg.log
[01:24] <ftv00es> but if I format it, wouldn't Ioose all the files?
[01:24] <Lilacor> ftv00es: yes
[01:24] <Lilacor> no
[01:24] <Lilacor> ftv00es: you'll lose all of your files
[01:24] <Loco_Man> it says (there are several lines like this, I'll tyipe the last ones): date, login name [ 296.519447]  NETDEV WATCHDOT: eth2: transmit timed out
[01:24] <faight> onboard integrated video
[01:24] <jscinoz> Lilacor, i have checked the config for errors and even gone as far as recreating it via dpkg-reconfigure
[01:24] <ftv00es> that's the problem
[01:24] <Lilacor> ftv00es: if you shake your HDD hard enough, it'll loosen the spool
[01:24] <heffo> how do i shot web?
 ftv00es, but you'll have to make a backup from the disk forst, everything will be lost
[01:25] <Loco_Man> and date, login name [ 296.519447]  eth2: Transmit timed out, Txstatus c0 TxFrame Id 1d, resett
[01:25] <matterteck> awesome
[01:25] <Lilacor> ftv00es: what the heck is the problem? I thought you said you're going to mount it using ntfs-3g

[01:25] <Mark1776> System->Preferences->Screen Resolution doesn't show the settings from xorg.conf - I have moded xorg.conf with correct settings - any suggestions on how to get the resolution/refresh rate to change?
[01:25] <astomper_> crabgrass: sorry it took so long to respond, I just moved into a house with a girl who has had it, but only had a modem and aol w/windows.  As soon as I hooked up a dlink router this problem starts.
[01:25] <Lilacor> jscinoz: what does your log file say?
[01:25] <ward_> Lilacor, i think that's the package wich name i didn't recall :-)
[01:25] <Tom47> !xorg
[01:25] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[01:26] <Pelo> Cocofat,  possibly  but it will mostly take dare of your acpi thing you wont, have to play in the bios anymore,  can you boot the recovery mode ?

[01:26] <symbolic> i've just installed ubuntu feisty, and my sound card doesn't work (hp pavillion dv2000 notebook, sound card conexant 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Intel)
[01:26] <ftv00es> I'll try some things... thanks! bye!
[01:26] <crabgrass> astomper_: ah, to me, sounds like the modem isnt fully adjusted to the incoming signal
[01:26] <Cocofat> pelo tbh io havnt tried, i thought it was something i did wrong during install
  linux 's ugly??
[01:26] <painkiler> So, once I install and configure my legacy nvidia driver, x tells me there are no screens found. What do I do?
[01:26] <crabgrass> astomper_: dsl generally takes a few days of service to set up
[01:26] <Cocofat> I will have a go now
[01:26] <srbaker_> smo: yes.  it's rather blurry, making my eyes ache
[01:26] <Pelo> Cocofat,  there is very little you can do wrong during the install
[01:27] <Lilacor> painkiler: check your xorg log file, xorg.conf, and your /var/log/messages
[01:27] <matterteck> legends pisses me off every time
[01:27] <srbaker_> smo: i installed msttcorefonts, that helped a bit, but not completely
[01:27] <matterteck> sorry misstell
[01:27] <smo> you use too complicated words for me :)
[01:27] <symbolic> help!
[01:27] <astomper_> crabgrass, so it'll fix its self, should I continue connecting and disconnecting the power and such?
[01:27] <smo> http://phatandfresh.free.fr/fulldesk.png
[01:27] <Cocofat> thats what i thought :), the funny thing is it works fine during virtual machine, just slow so i fugured it was hardware setting related or dual booting
[01:27] <smo> my desktop..;
[01:27] <jscinoz> Lilacor, it ends with a number of backtrace messages and a "caught signal 11, server aborting"

[01:27] <crabgrass> astomper_: leave it on for a day or two without unplugging it, see if that helps
[01:27] <Cocofat> I will try recovery mode I will be back soon
[01:28] <painkiler> Lilacor: where are the logs?
[01:28] <jscinoz> painkiller /var/log
[01:28] <Lilacor> jscinoz: how about if you uninstall xserver and ubuntu-desktop
[01:28] <Lilacor> painkiler: under /var/log
[01:28] <crabgrass> astomper_: my connection was really, REALLY bad for the first 2-3 days i had it
[01:28] <astomper_> thx crabgrass.
[01:28] <Tom47> !sound
[01:28] <IdleOne> crabgrass, doesnt d-link have a setting that can be set to auto re-connect to isp or some such
[01:28] <ubotu> 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).

[01:29] <smo> avant-window-navigator sorry
[01:29] <painkiler> *arn't
[01:29] <crabgrass> IdleOne: as long as my router can mac filter, i'm cool with it
[01:29] <Lilacor> jscinoz: save your xorg.conf file somewhere
[01:29] <ziggy23> I am trying to get multimedia -- Flash + Windows Media on a web page, to play in Firefox using Ubuntu 7.04
[01:29] <IdleOne> crabgrass, it isnt software but in the router config settings
[01:29] <srbaker_> smo: what's the ruby for beside your clock?
[01:29] <Lilacor> jscinoz: and reinstall ubuntu-desktop
[01:29] <jscinoz> alright.
[01:29] <smo> beryl
[01:29] <jscinoz> i'll be back in a little while when this is finished
[01:29] <jscinoz> thanks for the help
[01:30] <srbaker_> smo: ah.  i think my video card sucks too much for beryl
[01:30] <Lilacor> jscinoz: it is my personal opinion that you should be okay...linux is a lot more robust than win32 platforms for many things
[01:30] <|chiz|> Hey how do I list what dns servers I'm using??
[01:30] <smo> whats your card?
[01:30] <symbolic> thanks ubotu, i'll try that
[01:30] <Tom47> !restricted formats > ziggy23:
[01:30] <smo> lspci | grep VGA
[01:30] <astomper_> IdleOne, do I get there with 192.l168.etc?
[01:30] <Lilacor> |chiz|: cat /etc/resolv.conf
[01:30] <crabgrass> IdleOne: hmm... haven't looked into it
[01:30] <crabgrass> astomper_: yes
[01:30] <IdleOne> astomper_, 192.168.0.1 probably
[01:30] <crabgrass> astomper_: if it's a dlink, it's generally 192.168.0.1
[01:30] <ziggy23> Tom : been there, done that
[01:30] <srbaker_> smo: 32M shared, S3 Savage. it's the onboard card.
[01:31] <IdleOne> astomper_, user would be Admin and password is left empty I believe
[01:31] <astomper_> thx crabgrass, I was going to use 193.168.1.1
[01:31] <smo> could work bt will be very very slow so ...
[01:31] <ziggy23> Tom47 : also downloaded mplayer and adobe flash
[01:31] <srbaker_> smo: i'm going to buy a different vid card, i think
[01:31] <astomper_> thx IdleOne, that literally saved me about 10 minutes
[01:31] <smo> mplayerplug-in rocks
[01:31] <crabgrass> smo: yes
[01:31] <smo> yeah good idear
[01:32] <smo> buy nvidia for the moment ...
[01:32] <|chiz|> Lilacor, its strange because this just lists the router's ip, and I have another windows pc on the same connection and when I do an nslookup for comicspace.com it gives me different ip address on the two machines... any ideas was to why?
[01:32] <IdleOne> astomper_, d-link has a pretty good FAQ page just in case you need info on the settings. just remember what you changed so you can change it back to what it is in case you mess up 
[01:32] <wasm> how do I get 7.04 to use eth1 ?
[01:32] <Tom47> ziggy23: for what its worth i have a couple of sites that i can get to work best using vlc (incl the vlc plugin for ff) and MultiMediaPlayer Connectivity plugin for firfox
[01:33] <Lilacor> |chiz|: the host may be using multiple servers
[01:33] <southafrikanse> Hello. When I start Ubuntu I get this message: xxxxxxxxxx mymblkxxxxx error 1 sending read/write command. What does this mean?
[01:33] <smo> vlc plugin is bad
[01:33] <ziggy23> FWIW, I am trying to access a TV station's web site  -- http://www.wfsb.com/video/9688512/index.html
[01:34] <smo> compile mplayer yourself and mplayerplug-in too and it s perfect
[01:34] <crabgrass> mysquirrel failures all over the place
[01:34] <astomper_> IdleOne, thx, I don't think I want to get into anything I can mess up tonight, might be drinkin.
[01:34] <smo> but not so easy
[01:34] <p1ls> hey how you close an query in irssi?
[01:34] <p1ls> hey how you close an query in irssi?
[01:34] <homanj> p1ls: /window close
[01:34] <nathan__> DBO???? help
[01:35] <|chiz|> Lilacor, if I check the router I'm sure there are two dns servers assigned to it by the pppoe connection, are you thinking that there is a conflict between the two dns servers?
[01:35] <IdleOne> astomper_, I hear you. right now your router has default settings and there is an option to just reset it to default. you might want to change your admin password on the router
[01:35] <Lilacor> |chiz|: no
[01:35] <Loco_Man> any idea what might be wrong with my network?.. it works perfectly when I boot... then after a couple of minutes it just stops working...
[01:35] <Lilacor> Loco_Man: did you check the logfiles?
[01:35] <Loco_Man> yep
[01:36] <Loco_Man> it says (there are several lines like this, I'll tyipe the last ones): date, login name [ 296.519447]  NETDEV WATCHDOT: eth2: transmit timed out
[01:36] <Lilacor> ...and?
[01:36] <Loco_Man> and date, login name [ 296.519447]  eth2: Transmit timed out, Txstatus c0 TxFrame Id 1d, resett
[01:36] <Lilacor> Loco_Man: so did you look up those errors?
[01:36] <Lilacor> Loco_Man: are you using DSL? Cable Modem?
[01:36] <Loco_Man> DSL
[01:36] <Lilacor> Loco_Man: and does your DSL use PPPoE?
[01:37] <nathan__> where can i find newbie help?
[01:37] <Nell> How do I access the windows machine on my network via shell to transfer files?
[01:37] <Loco_Man> hmm.. no idea... I have the DSL modem plugged to a router, and then from there to the computer...
[01:37] <Lilacor> Nell: SAMBA
[01:37] <Lilacor> !samba
[01:37] <ubotu> samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[01:37] <Nell> Is that with shell and not the gui?
[01:37] <Lilacor> Nell: either
[01:38] <user__> habeeb: I could not get it to work, I suppose it has something wrong on it. The thing is that I was asked to run a simulation program, but I am not familiar with fortran, and the program has a mixture of java and fortran as far as I know. My boss told me that the program runs under unix by executing a script, but I do not know how to do it. Since I am a windoze user, I am not yet familiarized with linux, so I had to ask you. I saw my boss
[01:38] <user__>  running it on a mac previously, does that changes the way a script is executed?
[01:38] <Nell> ty
[01:38] <IdleOne> !putty
[01:38] <ubotu> SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[01:38] <Lilacor> Loco_Man: welp, I'm going to guess that you're using PPPoE and that you have not configured your login and password for your connection
[01:38] <Nell> Okay listen.
[01:38] <Nell> I mean FROM the Linux box, WITH the shell, to wherever it is so  Ican viwe the windows stuff IN shell.
[01:38] <Loco_Man> it worked perfectly until a couple days ago.. then it just stopped working...
[01:38] <Nell> Putty will not work, samba isn't installed.
[01:39] <Lilacor> Nell: so you're not willing to install samba but you want to view windows shares?
[01:39] <Loco_Man> right now is connected to internet connection sharing trough a windows XP computer
[01:39] <wasm> my dsl modem is my router  works well.  My puter cant tell the difference except I have trouble getting the linux to recognize my onboard wireless
[01:39] <Lilacor> Loco_Man: oh. I'm sorry.
[01:39] <Nell> Listen, i can't install samba right now since my box is all crapped out
[01:39] <Nell> I'm trying to saev whatever I can by transferring to the windows machine with shell.
[01:39] <Lilacor> Nell: welp you're not going to be viewing windows shares without samba
[01:39] <Nell> I can't remote in otherwise I'd have done so already.
[01:40] <Loco_Man> but I've tried it trough wireless (how it was connected), direct cable to router, and now trying trough ICS
[01:40] <gb__> hi guys
[01:40] <Nell> I don't want to VIEW files, I want to transfer from linux to windows with the shell.
[01:40] <gb__> does fiesty have kde4/
[01:40] <Lilacor> Loco_Man: have you confirmed that your HW isn't bunk?
[01:40] <Loco_Man> just checked, doesn't use PPPoE.. the router is set to " Dynamic IP Address"
[01:40] <Tom47> ziggy23: could not describe the results here on that site as spectacular either
[01:40] <AlcoholicDoc> anybody know why when I click "Log off" or "switch User" the display goes blank and just sits there like that? the only to do anything else is to shut down and restart. I don't think it's freezing, cause I can still use [ctrl] +[sysreq] +b to force a reboot. I'm running Feisty on an AMD64 laptop if that helps.
[01:40] <gb__> Loco_Man: pppoe uses dhcp sometimes
[01:40] <Loco_Man> yep... changed the network card and cables, and tried the network card on another computer too
[01:40] <southafrikanse> Can someone help me?
[01:41] <IdleOne> Nell, why wont putty work?
[01:41] <southafrikanse> When I start Ubuntu I get this message: xxxxxxxxxx mymblkxxxxx error 1 sending read/write command. What does this mean?
[01:41] <Lilacor> !ask
[01:41] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:41] <Nell> Because I screwed something up and I can't connect from windows to linux
[01:41] <Nell> hoping I can connect from linux to windows though.
[01:41] <gb__> Lilacor: hi mate
[01:41] <gb__> Lilacor: does fiesty have kde4?
[01:41] <askand> Is there a program to extract information from flashfiles to ubuntu?
[01:41] <Lilacor> gb__: installl kubuntu
[01:42] <gb__> Lilacor: it has it?
[01:42] <gb__> ty :)
[01:42] <Lilacor> Nell: you're SOL without samba
[01:42] <Loco_Man> if it's any help, when I connect I can ping the windows computer (pings less than 20 ms usually)... then after 60 or so pings it stops and I have to Ctrl+C out of it... then I ping again and it can't find it anymore
[01:42] <Ultima`> I'm looking for help getting a wireless driver installed.  I'm an ubuntu newbie, and the built-in wireless in feisty doesn't let me connect to my WPA access point
[01:42] <Zachary> QUERY: I want to set my Grub Bootloader to default to booting Windows XP. How can I change that?
[01:42] <Lilacor> Loco_Man: so you're saying this network card has no problems with any other machine?
[01:43] <Loco_Man> nope
[01:43] <wasm> ultima: me tooo
[01:43] <gb__> Zachary: change boot order
[01:43] <Cocofat> can anyone helpo me with boot/init problem ?
[01:43] <Loco_Man> well, the previous network card didn't.. the one I'm using now is a brand new one, but has the same problem
[01:43] <Sir-Integra> what's the issue?
[01:43] <lubix> hello friends
[01:43] <askand>  Is there a program to extract information from flashfiles to ubuntu?
[01:43] <Zachary> gb__: How can I change that? Do I do it from the bootloader or from Ubuntu?
[01:43] <Ultima`> Apparently I need to install the RT73 driver, or the RT2501USB driver, or ndiswrapper
[01:43] <gb__> Zachary:  bootloader?
[01:43] <Cocofat> im booting into ubuntu with acpi disabled as it wont boot otherwise, I login fine, startup sound and splash screen display then it just locks up
[01:43] <Lilacor> Loco_Man: what chipset?
[01:43] <Ultima`> but I've got no idea how to do any of those  :(
[01:44] <AlcoholicDoc> anybody know why when I click "Log off" or "switch User" the display goes blank and just sits there like that? the only to do anything else is to shut down and restart. I don't think it's freezing, cause I can still use [ctrl] +[sysreq] +b to force a reboot. I'm running Feisty on an AMD64 laptop if that helps.
[01:44] <lubix> hey how does feisty run on the new centrino duo anyone know??
[01:44] <user__> hello, I'm new on ubuntu and linux OS, and I would like to know if there is any special command to run a script from the command line?  I haven't executed one before, so please be patient with me
[01:44] <Zachary> gb__: Do you know the commands to do that? There isn't a choice, "Change boot order."
[01:44] <gb__> Zachary: edit menu.lst
[01:44] <|chiz|> Lilacor, so what do you mean by the host may be using multiple servers?
[01:44] <Lilacor> user__: I've already told you how to do this.
[01:44] <Zachary> gb__: In Ubuntu?
[01:44] <Loco_Man> Lilacor: old one says Infineon AN983B
[01:45] <gb__> yes in ubuntu
[01:45] <gcbdm> How can I install ndiswrapper if I don't have the internet?
[01:45] <gcbdm> For the live cd
[01:45] <Mikeh> Hey guys, two questions for you all tonight:First, I can't seem to get Kopete to work with webcams over MSN. aMSN works fine and Kopete settings shows my webcam just fine, but when I invite to webcam, or receive an invite, neither will display.Second: I want to repartition my hard drive and mount a 32GB FAT32 /home partition to share with Windows. Because I don't know what I will need my fstab to look like (this involves modif
[01:45] <Mikeh> ying 4 partitions) I want to know if Ubuntu will still boot without a /home
[01:45] <Lilacor> |chiz|: for example, Google uses thousands of servers for one hostname.
[01:45] <Lilacor> Loco_Man: and the current one?
[01:45] <gb__> Zachary:  vi /boot/grub/menu.lst
[01:45] <vbabiy> hey is there any one who can help me setup a bind dns server for Caching Nameserver
[01:45] <Loco_Man> turning kubuntu off so I can pull it out and check.. 
[01:45] <Cocofat> omg this is so frustrating ><
[01:46] <faight> I have win XP on another HDD and win xp wont stop booting and let my ubuntu HDD choose to boot whatever, any help?
[01:46] <|chiz|> Lilacor, I gotcha
[01:46] <Lilacor> faight: you most likely have to edit your grub.conf
[01:46] <user__> sorry, I tried, but I'm getting an error. when I use chmod +x..., does this executes the script, or just modifies it to be compatible on ubuntu?
[01:46] <Loco_Man> great.. it has a sticker over the chip that says "advanek networks"
[01:46] <gb__> user__: make it executable
[01:46] <Zachary> faight: I had the same problem. You'll need to open your BIOS and set the boot order.
[01:46] <Lilacor> user__: did you take this script from windows or something?
[01:46] <faight> lilacor, how do i do that? please
[01:46] <user__> nope
[01:47] <Zachary> faight: Have your Linux HDD boot first, then your Windows one.
[01:47] <|chiz|> Lilacor, the thing is that the server has moved, its not being hosted on two ips and the updated ip shows up in the ubuntu box'x nslookup but not in the windows box's nslookup
[01:47] <gb__> user__: better option chmod 711 filename
[01:47] <Lilacor> faight: http://www.google.com/search?q=grub.conf+editing&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
[01:47] <faight> zachary, dont know how please help
[01:47] <user__> ok, thanks, I'll try that
[01:47] <Lilacor> |chiz|: have you tried to clear out your dns cache?
[01:47] <faight> thanks lilacor
[01:48] <Lilacor> faight: you're welcome
[01:48] <jscinoz> hey guys, i'm back. after reinstalling ubuntu-desktop and xserver-xorg X still wont start but i have a different error now,  "FATAL: Could not Open /lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko No such file or directory" what should i do now to fix this?
[01:48] <Sir-Integra> doesn't seem like your nvidia drivers have been installed.
[01:48] <Mikeh> Anyone got any help for this: First, I can't seem to get Kopete to work with webcams over MSN. aMSN works fine and Kopete settings shows my webcam just fine, but when I invite to webcam, or receive an invite, neither will display. ?
[01:48] <Lilacor> jscinoz: apt-get install nvidia-glx
[01:48] <faight> also, win XP doesnt detect my UBUNTU HDD, what gives? thanks
[01:48] <|chiz|> Lilacor, I did a ipconfig /flushdns on the windows box.
[01:48] <jscinoz> should i use nvidia-glx or nvidia-glx-new
[01:48] <Lilacor> jscinoz: I"m not sure.
[01:48] <Loco_Man> Lilacor: k, the current card says IC+ IP100A LF on the chip
[01:49] <jscinoz> faight, winxp doesnt have ext3 support. you'll need to get the driver
[01:49] <Lilacor> Loco_Man: I have no idea what company that is
[01:49] <faight> i see thanks jscinoz
[01:49] <wasm> same question for a realtek 8180 chipset
[01:49] <jscinoz> just search for ext3 windows, i think its one of the first results fs-driver.org or something
[01:49] <Brade1> k
[01:49] <user__> so after changing the mode, how do I run the script? just by typing the name on the command line, or do I need any special command to run it?
[01:49] <jscinoz> Lilacor, nvidia-glx-new is now installed, and i've run nvidia-glx-config enable but still the same error
[01:50] <gb__> user__: hi
[01:50] <gb__> user__: it is sh file?
[01:50] <Loco_Man> ICplus is the company according to google... first time I hear of them too
[01:50] <user__> nope
[01:50] <Lilacor> jscinoz: can you lsmod | grep nvidia
[01:50] <user__> it has no extension
[01:50] <gb__> just type from current folder ./filename
[01:50] <Lilacor> jscinoz: and does it come up with anything?
[01:50] <Mikeh> Second: I want to repartition my hard drive and mount a 32GB FAT32 /home partition to share with Windows. Because I don't know what I will need my fstab to look like (this involves modifying 4 partitions) I want to know if Ubuntu will still boot without a /home
[01:50] <user__> ohhh ok
[01:50] <AlcoholicDoc> so no answer on the screen blanking?
[01:50] <gb__> current folder, where file is located :)
[01:51] <Lilacor> AlcoholicDoc: not sure, sorry.
[01:51] <compilerwriter> How well does linux hibernate really work.  I have not had good experiences with windows hibernation and a bit leery of the whole idea?
[01:51] <jscinoz> Mikeh i'd suggest making it an ext3 partition and simply getting the windows ex3 driver
[01:51] <askand>  Is there a program to extract information from flashfiles to ubuntu?
[01:51] <smo> sharing /home as fat32 is a bad idear
[01:51] <AlcoholicDoc> k... thx
[01:51] <smo> for me ..
[01:51] <user__> gb_: is there any way I could send you this so you can check it for me?
[01:51] <Mikeh> I tried that jscinoz and it caused corruption on the ext3 partition
[01:51] <Mikeh> why smo?
[01:51] <gb__> whats the script bout?
[01:52] <user__> is to run a simulation program
[01:52] <gb__> nope sorry
[01:52] <gb__> aint running no-'s script on ym pc
[01:52] <gb__> sorry
[01:52] <gb__> :)
[01:52] <smo> make a "normal" fat 32 part for linux/xp/vista.... and keep /home in separate partition
[01:52] <user__> actually I'm not sure if it is actually a script
[01:52] <Loco_Man> soo.. any idea what might be wrong with my network?...
[01:52] <user__> I'm do not know much about programming
[01:52] <Lilacor> user__: uhhh... examine it with a text editor first
[01:53] <user__> yeah already did that
[01:53] <user__> it just contains the names of some files to be executed
[01:53] <gb__> it aint working there?
[01:53] <Mikeh> I want to share the partition smo because I want my My Documents & Home Folder to be in the same place. It's a hassle searching through /windoze/documents and settings/yadayayada
[01:54] <Grummus> Mikeh, /home on a fat32 filesystem will not work, fat32 does not support the unix semantics, if you must use ntfs via ntfs-3g
[01:54] <Zachary> faight: When you first boot your computer, look to see if it says something like: DEL for BIOS.
[01:54] <gb__> Mikeh:  create links man
[01:54] <Zachary> faight: Or, just mash delete and f2 or something.
[01:54] <smo> http://phatandfresh.free.fr/part.png   Mikeh
[01:54] <Zachary> faight: Then, you should see your bios.
[01:54] <smo> how i partionned my disk
[01:54] <faight> zachary, i can hit f2 to go into bios
[01:54] <smo> the use ntfs-3g for ntfs
[01:54] <faight> i'm looking at my grub.conf file right now, doesnt look correct
[01:54] <ablabla> i hate linux
[01:54] <Zachary> faight: Okay, then, look for boot order.
[01:54] <smo> i have my fat everywhere
[01:55] <smo> ntfs too read/write
[01:55] <Zachary> I'm actually not sure.
[01:55] <faight> zachary, good call, why didnt i think of that?
[01:55] <gb__> smo: too much fat not good, ask doctor
[01:55] <gb__> stick to ntfs
[01:55] <gb__> lol
[01:55] <smo> i have vista ii never use it ...
[01:55] <Mikeh> is there a possibility of ntfs-3g causing corruption, or is it pretty stable?
[01:55] <whitehat> hello.  does anyone know what's going on with the linuxcounter.org site or counter.lig.org?
[01:55] <smo> ill maybe remove it all
[01:55] <Grummus> Mikeh, pretty stable
[01:55] <[uplink] > I need to know how can I modify my menu.lst ?????? on the grub folder.......
[01:55] <Mikeh> k thanks!
[01:55] <gb__> Mikeh:  no issues here so far
[01:56] <smo> yeah no prob with ntfs-3g
[01:56] <smo> never
[01:56] <Mikeh> I'll do that then. Much easier than setting multiple FAT32 parts
[01:56] <gb__> Mikeh:  just keep 1 thing in mind though
[01:56] <[uplink] > I need to know how can I modify my menu.lst ?????? on the grub folder....... it tells me I have no permit when I try to save it after I modify it...........
[01:56] <Mikeh> ?
[01:56] <Tom47> smo what font is that on the desktop in that link??
[01:56] <smo> edit it as root
[01:56] <[uplink] > how ?
[01:56] <gb__> shut off ntfs partion normally, not in abnormal mode
[01:56] <[uplink] > thats what I tried to do
[01:57] <tritium> [uplink] : sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[01:57] <[uplink] > but when I right click, there is no option for it
[01:57] <Mikeh> k
[01:57] <smo> want the font Tom47?
[01:57] <[uplink] > thank you tritium
[01:57] <Tom47> smo looks neat
[01:57] <tritium> !sudo > [uplink] 
[01:57] <Mikeh> well, I'm off to do that then... wish me luck!
[01:57] <smo> feel more "human"
[01:57] <gb__> Mikeh:  good luck mate
[01:57] <smo> don t know what mean net
[01:57] <smo> neat
[01:57] <Tom47> smo yes looks good
[01:57] <jscinoz> alright I haven't changed anythign all i did was restart but now i'm back to the "recieved signal 11, server aborting" error
[01:58] <smo> wait
[01:58] <smo> make .fonts dir in your home

[02:04] <[uplink] > ????
[02:04] <bruenig> gpolo, stability
[02:04] <gpolo> bruenig, lies ;/
[02:05] <[uplink] > how do I install my firware ?
[02:05] <ziggy23> tritium -- doesn't seem to matter that there are Ubuntu packages  -- I've installed the Ubuntu packages for both Mplayer and flash....the page I want to look at refuses to play videos
[02:05] <jamie> adding files to a produo card every time i unmont and remont the files arn't there anyone know why? the card is fat32. Cheers
[02:05] <jmg> gpolo: http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=subversion&searchon=names&subword=1&version=all&release=all
[02:05] <gpolo> bruenig, it is clearly written on subversion site: The best available version of Subversion is: 1.4.3
[02:05] <jmg> jamie: mount -o sync
[02:05] <[uplink] > how do I install my firware?
[02:05] <faight> zachary, thanks i switched the cables, should work now
[02:05] <bruenig> gpolo, answer remains
[02:05] <[uplink] > for my Wireless card bcm43xx
[02:05] <jmg> gpolo: that is the version in feisty (latest stable) and gutsy (unstable)
[02:05] <bruenig> gpolo, what feature are you so worked up about
[02:05] <gpolo> bruenig, it isnt stable for me, it doesnt work with subclipse cause it is too old
[02:06] <faight> i'm using fiesty
[02:06] <gpolo> bruenig, doesnt work with subclipse
[02:06] <[uplink] > how do I install my firware? for my Wireless card bcm43xx
[02:06] <gpolo> jmg, uhm, good
[02:06] <jmg> gpolo: upgrade to feisty
[02:06] <bruenig> gpolo, oh are you not using feisty?
[02:06] <IdleOne> !bcm43xxx
[02:06] <faight> uplink, you played uplink before?
[02:06] <ziggy23> it's silly...my problem seemingly should not be this hard to solve...don't understand it
[02:06] <gpolo> 6.10 isnt fesity ?
[02:06] <[uplink] > played ?
[02:06] <gpolo> feisty*

[02:07] <cbs> how can I download the latest source code for WINE to compile it myself?
[02:07] <gpolo> bruenig, ok, good to hear
[02:07] <jmg> cbs: google
[02:07] <IdleOne> cbs, www.wine.com
[02:07] <darnell> does anyone have the newest beryl?
[02:07] <Pelo> IdleOne, cbs  www.winehq.org
[02:07] <IdleOne> Pelo, thank you
[02:07] <bruenig> cbs, go to the wine website, there is a bleeding edge wine repo that always has the latest, that would probably be the best unless you need some flag that isn't being used or something
[02:07] <gpolo> jmg, thanks too
[02:07] <faight> how do you install wine?
[02:07] <jmg> apt-get install wine
[02:07] <IdleOne> when did #ubuntu become a replacement for google?
[02:07] <faight> compile it if you will
[02:08] <tonsofpcs> How do I run jnlp files [java web start]  on UbuntuStudio (Fiesty Fawn)?
[02:08] <jonathas> ^^
[02:08] <nelsonuwp> anyone able to use a logitech mx laser mouse?
[02:08] <jmg> IdleOne: when the ops decided it wasnt friendly to answer "jfgi"
[02:08] <cbs> bruenig: I need to compile wine with libxml2 support installed on the system
[02:08] <bruenig> cbs, winehq.com I think
[02:08] <nelsonuwp> in ubuntu that is with full functionality?
[02:08] <bruenig> those are probably not well supported, get a normal mouse gees
[02:08] <Pelo> IdleOne, http://www.ubuntux.org/ubuntu-search/
[02:09] <user__> tritium: thank you for kicking me. You helped me to remain ignorant and encouraged to keep using windoze. I finally understood how a script is executed
[02:09] <IdleOne> jmg, I agree with ops when it comes to those type of answers but things like where can I get wine or where can I get the latest beryl ?. well it should be googled first and then if you cant find it ask
[02:09] <jamie> jmg this command says that sdb1 is not listed in fstab
[02:09] <Sir-Integra> i have a problem
[02:09] <Sir-Integra> installed beryl
[02:09] <orbin> IdleOne: irks me too.
[02:09] <bruenig> !enter | Sir-Integra
[02:09] <gpolo> is there some "especial" tag I can put at sources.list so it always gets latest packages ?
[02:09] <Pelo> !mouse > nelsonuwp  check for msg from ubotu  with mouse instructions
[02:09] <Sir-Integra> and when i go to watch videos, i see a black screen.
[02:10] <gpolo> instead of using edgy, feisty, etc
[02:10] <Sir-Integra> but i can hear the sound.
[02:10] <Truth[laptop] > Hi- I'm trying to set up my computer with an ATI card with s-video out (to my TV) and I followed this guide to get the ATI drivers (http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Feisty_Installation_Guide) but after following alll the instructions the x server doesn't start up saying "no devices detected"/"No screens found". Is there a better guide?
[02:10] <gpolo> something like latest
[02:10] <nelsonuwp> !mouse
[02:10] <Sir-Integra> the video shows up at first, then it stops.
[02:10] <bruenig> Sir-Integra, don't use enter as punctuation, especially in a channel with 1140
[02:10] <Pelo> Sir-Integra, ask in #beryl
[02:10] <bruenig> where are the bots
[02:10] <IdleOne> Pelo, thank you very much I did not know Ubuntu search engine existed
[02:10] <Sir-Integra> apologies, bruenig .
[02:10] <Rodel> If when i click the first option when i boot the disc ("Start or Install Ubuntu ....") and it goes through a lot of stuff then sometime into it there is an error about the XGraphics or something close to that (i dont have great memory) what can be done?
[02:11] <Pelo> IdleOne,  It's a community thing,  I just found out about it myself
[02:11] <IdleOne> Pelo, very cool
[02:12] <Rodel> or, possibly, what does that imply?
[02:12] <Pelo> Rodel,  what is your video card ?
[02:12] <Rodel> nvidia gforce 4400 i think
[02:12] <bruenig> weak
[02:12] <gcbdm> How can I install ndiswrapper if I don't have the internet?
[02:12] <bruenig> gcbdm, it is on the cd
[02:12] <Rodel> but i also have some intigrated graphics
[02:13] <Pelo> Rodel,  there you go, you'll need to use the alternate install cd  (texte based installer) and install the correct nvidia drivers afterward
[02:13] <Truth[laptop] > Hi guys- I'm trying to get my ATI video card working with fglrx and every time I configure it when I try and start x again it errors saying "no screens found"
[02:13] <bruenig> ati is troublesome
[02:13] <Rodel> and how do i go about getting this alternate install cd?
[02:13] <Pelo> Rodel, then turn off the agp and use the integrated graphic for your installation
[02:13] <gcbdm> bruenig: Odd, I did 'ndiswrapper' last night and it told me it wasen't a real command. Do I need to be root>
[02:13] <bruenig> gcbdm, you need to enable the cd as a repository via apt-cdrom
[02:14] <Pelo> !alternate | Rodel
[02:14] <gpolo> is there some repository name I can use in sources.list that points to the latest repository ? instead of using "feisty" or anything, something like "latest"
[02:14] <Pelo> ic
[02:14] <gcbdm> bruenig: How do I do that?
[02:14] <faight> I dont know how to add win XP to grub.conf file
[02:14] <bruenig> gcbdm, I forget, do man apt-cdrom, it will tell you
[02:14] <Pelo> Rodel,  you can get the alternate install cd at the ubuntu site,  further down the download page ,  but try with the integrated video card first , that will probably be easier
[02:14] <gcbdm> Ok
[02:15] <LjL> gpolo, no. when there is a new version, update-manager will notify you of that.
[02:15] <Pelo> faight, wasn'T it added when you installed ubuntu ?
[02:15] <Rodel> alright, after i install with integrated can i switch to the nvidia?
[02:15] <faight> pelo, no, win xp is on my other HDD
[02:15] <faight> grub doesnt give me a choice of booting to win xp :(
[02:15] <Pelo> Rodel,  you might need to install the driver first,  I am not quite sure how the proceedure works,  you'll have to check back here for instructions
[02:15] <gcbdm> bruenig: Once do I do that step. I'll only have to do 'sudo apt-get ndiswrapper', right?
[02:16] <gpolo> LjL, it seems if i dont change apt-sources, update-manager doesnt tell me that
[02:16] <GoldeNArX> sup guys
[02:16] <Pelo> faight, ok I can help you with that, how many Hdd do you have and where is your windows installation ?
[02:16] <gpolo> LjL, i haven't used it, but i just tested and it gets updates for my old version and doesnt notify about new ones
[02:16] <bruenig> gcbdm, yes
[02:16] <gcbdm> Thanks
[02:17] <faight> pelo, ubuntu is on master drive, win xp on secondary drive, dont know how to answer you on that question
[02:17] <GoldeNArX> I'm attempting change the resolution for my monitor it wont let me.  its either 640x480 or 800x600.  I have the legacy nvidia drivers installed, how can I make this work?
[02:18] <faight> pelo, 3 hdds all together but only 2 are installed right now
[02:18] <Pelo> faight, I assume you are in ubuntu right now ? and that hte windows hdd is plugged in ?  ok    in the terminal     sudo apt-get install gparted    then open gparted from the command line  (it's quicker )
[02:18] <Pelo> faight, is the 3rd hdd external ?
[02:19] <faight> none are external
[02:19] <faight> yes in ubuntu now
[02:19] <Pelo> faight, hmmmm
[02:19] <faight> win xp drive plugged in
[02:19] <Pelo> faight,  install gparted,  and let me think a minute while you do that
[02:19] <faight> pelo, done
[02:20] <hidan> hello, does anyone know what the "rescue" command on the livecd does?
[02:20] <Pelo> faight, would the 3rd hdd be a master when you install it ?
[02:20] <faight> how do i "open gparted"?
[02:20] <faight> um probably secondary
[02:20] <IdleOne> type gparted
[02:20] <Pelo> faight,  menu > system > admin > gnome partiton editor
[02:20] <faight> its set to cable select
[02:21] <Pelo> faight,  and your windows hdd would be a  primary slave ?
[02:21] <faight> how do i get to menu?
[02:21] <Pelo> faight,  I mean the main menu in the top pannel
[02:21] <Pelo> ...
[02:22] <GoldeNArX> grr. nobody has some wisdom for me on how to change the resolution? or at least make it available to change?
[02:22] <hidan> hmmm looks like i'll just give that command a shot, then.

[02:32] <greyfrog> Cocofat: mine did
[02:32] <Cocofat> greyfrog so if you have no active internet connection yet what happens ?
[02:32] <Cocofat> it sits there for ever ?
[02:33] <Slart> Cocofat: I don't think so.. not sure though...  I ran an update myself though
[02:33] <Cocofat> I wait for around 5 min and gave up on it
[02:33] <faight> ahh its an L
[02:33] <Slart> Cocofat: why wait.. run the updater yourself if you want it to update.. it's in the system, administration menu
[02:33] <greyfrog> Cocofat: not sure what it would do if there isn't connection yet
[02:34] <Cocofat> hrm I might try and give it a connection through cat5

[02:35] <hwilde55> Slart, I am trying this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[02:35] <GoldeNArX> thx guys now viewing at proper resolution
[02:35] <bruenig> Balshoy, do ls -l /etc/apt/sources.list and paste the output here
[02:35] <smo> yeah i don t download not free fonts...
[02:35] <re-align> Ok, so I can get rid of it then...
[02:35] <GoldeNArX> now here is the next question.  if any of you have a few tips for me
[02:35] <greyfrog> Cocofat: gl
[02:36] <re-align> Had it to try and get WPA working under Dapper (with no success).
[02:36] <GoldeNArX> I need to use mIRC with SSL and blowfish or equivalent of that in linux
[02:36] <Slart> hwilde55: checking the link.. rbb
[02:36] <Tom47> smo l like it
[02:36] <Balshoy> ls -l /etc/apt/sources.lis
[02:36] <GoldeNArX> what route should I go?
[02:36] <smo> :)
[02:36] <bruenig> Balshoy,  ls -l /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:36] <Slart> GoldeNArX: and you switced to linux... why? ;)
[02:36] <smo> i always use this font since long time
[02:36] <smo> and still like it
[02:36] <Balshoy> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2370 2007-05-25 04:19 /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:37] <GoldeNArX> Slart : this machines primary use is as a file server / ftp server. nix is the best choice for me
[02:37] <Slart> GoldeNArX: you can run mIRC using wine.. the SSL / blowfish stuff someone else has to answer
[02:37] <bruenig> Balshoy, ok that looks right, close synaptic or any other package management app and do "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -f"
[02:37] <MSTK> for some reason, python isn't working right on my computer.   can anyone help me?
[02:37] <jscinoz> Hey everyone, upon restarting my laptop i now get a "recieved signal 11, server aborting" error when starting X, how can i fix this
[02:38] <Slart> hwilde55: well.. according to that howto it sure looks like it would be possible
[02:38] <Balshoy> After unpacking 183MB of additional disk space will be used.Do you want to continue [Y/n] ?
[02:38] <Balshoy> so
[02:38] <Balshoy> yes or no?
[02:38] <eric> hey all
[02:38] <Balshoy> again I have ran out of disk space
[02:39] <eric> anyone have any idea how to get my sensors-applet to work...? it's saying it's reading my cpu but ti's not... the applet works and it displays on my menu bar... but it's bogus info...
[02:39] <hwilde55> Slart, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_USB
[02:39] <re-align> Balshoy, if you have no disk space then cancel it.
[02:39] <re-align> You'll have to free some up by removing packages you don't use.
[02:39] <Pelo> eric,   check here for sensors  setup  http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty
[02:39] <Balshoy> now what... my synaptic doesn't work either
[02:40] <eric> Pelo: thanks man :) will do
[02:40] <Slart> hwilde55: sweet.. now I want to try that too.. =)
[02:40] <Balshoy> Failed to run /usr/sbin/synaptic as user root.
[02:40] <Balshoy> Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file.
[02:40] <Balshoy> this being the error
[02:40] <greyfrog> Balshoy: you need to free up some space
[02:40] <greyfrog> Balshoy: and then try the update
[02:40] <re-align> Balshoy, do you have aanything important you need to save on that machine?
[02:41] <Balshoy> nope
[02:41] <MSTK> When I run python in Interactive Mode on the terminal, it won't run certain commands, such as gmtime(), random(), etc.
[02:41] <MSTK> it says that they are not found.
[02:42] <Balshoy> I would free up some space myself... but it doesn't let me... delete anything
[02:42] <re-align> If you can't fre up space on your own, you may consider reinstalling Ubuntu and making sure that it formats the partitions when installing. I'd use this as a last option though.
[02:42] <Slart> MSTK: don't you have to import them?
[02:42] <bulmer> MSTK you have to import the modules
[02:42] <Slart> MSTK: or run them as math.random or something like that
[02:42] <hwilde55> Slart, i'm going for opensolaris  http://www.genunix.org/distributions/belenix_site/?q=download
[02:42] <greyfrog> Balshoy: won't let you delete anything? how so?
[02:43] <Balshoy> a format for not having space?... no... that's something for windows... not for linux
[02:43] <Balshoy> :P
[02:43] <MSTK> Slart - in that case, it claims "math not defined"
[02:43] <Pelo> eric,  the applet you were talking about, is it a gdesklets ?  cause I've never been able to get that one to work right ,  same with the  screenlets one
[02:43] <r0bb4n> does anyone know if pidgin supports peer to peer filetransfer ?
[02:43] <MSTK> there are commands that I am sure exist in Python (I've run them in Windows), but aren't found in my linux library, for some reason.
[02:43] <jonathas> helllooo
[02:43] <jonathas> xD
[02:44] <Pelo> hello jonathaN
[02:44] <jonathas> donuts have has joine left right under inside me
[02:44] <greyfrog> MSTK: you might need the dev packages?
[02:44] <Slart> MSTK: check the docs.. I'm pretty sure I had to import some module to get random
[02:44] <greyfrog> MSTK: for those functions
[02:44] <LjL> Balshoy: of course ubuntu prevents you from deleting system files. you must delete stuff from your own directory - or delete system files by properly *uninstalling* programs.
[02:44] <jonathas> por no pelo is such boollshiti
[02:44] <MSTK> greyfrog - I've installed the dev packages, as well.  from the synaptics package manager.
[02:44] <jonathas> Pelo
[02:45] <MSTK> Slart - I've checked the documentation, and they say that they should run just fine.  It's not just random(), but very simple commands as well.
[02:45] <re-align> Balshoy, I think for the moment you'll have to deletee something from your home directory so you can use synaptic again.
[02:45] <anandanbu> I have a problem with my display when i boot into linux the display resoluiton is large and i can't even modify it,can anyone help me
[02:45] <re-align> Not sure how much space is needed though.
[02:45] <Slart> MSTK: what documentation have you been reading? python.org?
[02:45] <jonathas> hahahaha i to
[02:45] <Balshoy> it doesn't let me delete because he doesn't see me as root anymore
[02:45] <MSTK> Slart - yes.  And also the python.org documentation is also included with my installation of python.
[02:45] <Balshoy> Cannot move "/usr/share/g...roidbattles" to the trash because you do not have permissions to change it or its parent folder.
[02:45] <gcbdm> I tried to use the cdrom as a reposotory. But whenever I try to mount it, it always tells me I dont have any media in the drive. Any ideasa/
[02:46] <IdleOne> LjL, what was that factoid that told how to create the mypackge file?
[02:46] <eric> Pelo: no, it's the sensors-applet

[02:46] <LjL> (bot's lagged anyway)
[02:47] <Pelo> eric, ok  seting up  lm-sensors properly should take care of it
[02:47] <eric> it did

[02:47] <IdleOne> will check wiki thank you LjL
[02:47] <eric> Pelo: now i'm just confused what temp1 is corresponding too )
[02:47] <Pelo> eric,  oh, ok,  good,  carry on then
[02:47] <eric> ?
[02:47] <eric> do you have any idea? the ordering? temp1 = ? temp2 = ? temp3 = ? =/
[02:47] <eric> what each is ?
[02:47] <aldin> LjL: ok
[02:48] <Pelo> eric, generaly , temp 1 is the case temp ( ie the mobo) , temp2 the cpu and temp3 could be a hdd depending on your mobo's sensors
[02:48] <Fattay> I installed ubunutu earlier. I installed ati drivers a few minutes ago...it won't let me get my screen resolution higher then 1024x768. but everything looks choppy, and kinda blurry. how do I fix this?
[02:48] <eric> Pelo: ok thanks
[02:48] <eric> as long as nothing goes over 50C i'm straight anyway :)
[02:48] <eric> lol

[02:49] <Pelo> eric, fancontrol
[02:49] <IdleOne> LjL, cant seem to find the wiki page
[02:49] <LjL> Pelo: [02:49:32]  <ubotwo> To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type  dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages , move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type  sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade  - See also !automate
[02:49] <eric> Pelo, yea i don't :) c2d e6600
[02:49] <Rodel> Alright, I can now run this using the CD via the first option when i boot... but that doesnt seem to have mattered... i reinstalled again only to get the same message "Error loading operating system" any ideas on what is wrong?
[02:50] <Pelo> LjL,  ? what ?
[02:50] <aldin> LjL: thanks /msg nickserv set password <newpassword> worked
[02:50] <Fattay> O

[02:53] <loboirc> hi
[02:53] <Fattay> How come I can't change screen reso higher then 1024x768? My reso is too big and everything is choppy/blurry.
[02:53] <Slart> IdleOne: what kind of weird smiley is that.. or is it xchat making it weird?
[02:54] <Slart> !res | fattay

[02:54] <JimmySkull> MasterDevil`ke_s Hei!
[02:54] <Pelo> Fattay,  you can add extra resolutions manualy by editing  xorg.conf
[02:54] <priich> my upgrade to fiesty hosed the system and now i'm on the livecd. Is there any way i can install a "fresh" operating system onto the harddrive without hosing my /home ?
[02:54] <jack> port 6000 is reachable only over lo0
[02:54] <crimsun> cd /tmp
[02:54] <crimsun> sorry.
[02:54] <Balshoy> thx... I managed to free up some space and it worked like a charm
[02:54] <Balshoy> :D
[02:54] <Fattay> Pelo : How do I edit the xorg.conf?
[02:54] <Rodel> I have attempted to install Ubuntu 4 times now. Each time i got this message when i tried to boot from drive after installing: "Error loading operating system" does anybody have any ideas as to why this is happening?
[02:54] <Slart> Fattay: check here http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto

[02:55] <Pelo> faight, gnome partition editor
[02:55] <Slart> faight: it might not be installed.. "sudo apt-get install gparted" will install it
[02:55] <jack> j1tters: what do i need to do to get remote x11 connections to work? i got kubuntu-feisty running, but i need that box only as a remote x11 terminal
[02:56] <gcbdm> Anyone know if ndiswrapper is on the live CD? Because I can't find it.
[02:56] <Pelo> j1tters, grab a newbie and solve his problem
[02:56] <jack> j1tters: feel free to help if you have some freaking clue, thanks
[02:56] <j1tters> will do.
[02:56] <priich> jack: remote x11 full desktop or just individual apps ?
[02:56] <smo> use nx server  nomachines.org   very good jack
[02:56] <re-align> So...anyone know if the rt2500 driver supports WPA?
[02:56] <IdleOne> LjL, when doing dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages it returns a promtp only
[02:56] <faight> pelo, i'm not seeing "Gnome Partition Manager" under System -> Administration ->
[02:56] <jack> no, thanks, i need x11 connections to work
[02:57] <jack> without nx, vnc, ssh, lalala
[02:57] <jack> ok? ok.
[02:57] <smo> soo use X lol
[02:57] <Pelo> faight,   from the terminal  gparted
[02:57] <jack> you think i'm not, smo? think more
[02:57] <spikeb> jack: being a jackass won't help your cause any.
[02:57] <Slart> Rodel: you're not.. but it's so little information to go on.. it's hard to answer
[02:57] <jack> spikeb: just f**king annoyed by the overall cluelessness
[02:57] <smo> keep cool
[02:58] <faight> pelo, it wasnt installed lol
[02:58] <hwilde55> !coc | jack
[02:58] <gcbdm> Anyone know if ndiswrapper is on the live CD? Because I can't find it.
[02:58] <Rodel> i have no idea why its doing this...
[02:58] <jack> i know x11 connectivity is ancient
[02:58] <cleagane> what's the best way to restart X? i'm having a hard time remembering
[02:58] <jack> but still ;)
[02:58] <Pelo> faight, instal and start
[02:58] <faight> thought i installed it already
[02:58] <IdleOne> !ohmy | jack
[02:58] <hwilde55> !ndiswrapper | gcbdm
[02:58] <Fattay> Hmm...I added it, but then I went to System> Preferences>Screen Resolution and it wasn't there. I want to use 1280x1024
[02:58] <hwilde55> !language | jack
[02:58] <Slart> cleagane: ctrl+shift+backspace I think
[02:58] <cleagane> slart: i thought that would just kill it
[02:58] <j1tters> ctrl alt backspace will restart x
[02:58] <Rprp>   ChanServ Jeckyll Rprp` Scusio
[02:58] <Slart> cleagane: yes.. and then restart it
[02:58] <Pelo> Rodel, what is the current issue ?
[02:58] <Rodel> What file system is the best for Ubuntu?
[02:58] <smo> better results wih nx than x11...
[02:58] <faight> i just typed "gparted" in terminal and it said command not found?
[02:58] <cleagane> alright; i'll give it a shot; thanks much!
[02:59] <Fattay> Pelo: I added it, and it didn't show up in Screen Resolution.
[02:59] <re-align> Looks like ubotu has lagged out...
[02:59] <Pelo> Rodel,  just use ext3, it,s the default
[02:59] <LjL> IdleOne: that's what it supposed to do, as you're redirecting its output to the my-packages file
[02:59] <Slart> Rodel: I'd go with ext3 unless you have some special reason to go with something special
[02:59] <cleagane> faight: you need to install gparted first
[02:59] <jack> your choice, reiserfs or ext3
[02:59] <Pelo> Fattay,  you may have to restart X
[02:59] <LjL> IdleOne: if you do  cat ~/my-packages , you'll see an impressive list of packages.
[02:59] <Rodel> Slart: That is what i have been using... but it doesnt seem to be working...
[03:00] <Slart> Rodel: hmm.. ok.. from the start.. what kind of computer are you installing ubuntu on?
[03:00] <Slart> Rodel: and what kind of ubuntu are you trying to install?
[03:01] <IdleOne> LjL, cloning this machine would be an excellent idea if it was working properly but I am having some random closing issues with browsers and I cant seem to get them straightend out
[03:01] <IdleOne> :/
[03:01] <Rodel> Slart: its a gateway desktop 420GR... and im attempting to install the newest version of 7
[03:01] <jack> remote x11 connections? i removed "-nolisten tcp", rebooted X, did the necessary "xhost +", netstat looks like port 6000 is listening to *:*, but i can telnet to port 6000 only from 127.0.0.1, not from the lan. what the f**k is missing?
[03:01] <Slart> Rodel: standard ubuntu, 32bit 7.04 Feisty fawn?
[03:02] <IdleOne> jack, stop cursing please
[03:02] <LjL> IdleOne, you shouldn't need much browsing to clone... note that will just clone your package selection anyway, not any custom configuration you may have
[03:02] <Pelo> faight,  are you still around ?
[03:02] <jack> hence the asterisks.
[03:02] <Rodel> Slart: think so... let me make sure
[03:02] <jack> IdleOne: start giving helpful hints instead, please
[03:02] <IdleOne> LjL, doesnt seem to be a browser issue as it happens with FF, IceApe and konqueror
[03:03] <LjL> IdleOne: faulty RAM? faulty HD?
[03:03] <Slart> Rodel: and the computer isn't weird in some way.. weird = for example, using some weird disk setup, booting from external drives, painted pink.. or such?
[03:03] <IdleOne> jack, soon as you stop acting like a jackass I will... follow the rules and you might get more help then you are now
[03:03] <IdleOne> LjL, same system I been using for over a year now
[03:03] <Rodel> Slart: not that i know of...
[03:03] <jack> i did, for hours, before that damn void of answerlessness got more more and more mad man ;)
[03:03] <priich> jack: are you using XDMCP ?
[03:04] <re-align> Rodel, the computer isn't a 64 bit machine, is it?
[03:04] <Slart> Rodel: hmm.. ok.. and when you restart the computer with the cd in the drive, it boots into ubuntu, right?
[03:04] <jack> no, its straight, no ssh either
[03:04] <IdleOne> issue started after an update to Iceape browser if I recall
[03:04] <aliasrush> anyone know how to get rid of tooltips in gnome?
[03:04] <Rodel> re-align: highly doubt it, its a couple years old
[03:04] <Rodel> Slart: yes
[03:04] <jack> priich: would i need to edit some xdmprc or so?
[03:05] <IdleOne> jack, getting mad wont help you to get your prob fixed.sometimes it's best to walk away for an hour or so then come back and attack the issue again
[03:05] <re-align> Hmm...odd...and it doesn't tell you precisely what the error is?
[03:05] <Slart> Rodel: and then you select the install icon, right?
[03:05] <jack> IdleOne: the time you spent with giving me oh so nice hints about behaviour could be used a lot better, imo
[03:05] <Slart> Rodel: and fill in the usual stuff.. and it installs and some time later it wants to reboot
[03:05] <jack> if you had a clue :x
[03:05] <priich> jack: well you'd atleast have to edit /etc/X11/gdm.conf
[03:06] <jack> kdm.conf, i
[03:06] <jack> 'm on kde
[03:06] <jack> and i did
[03:06] <papatwilight> as far as fire walls go how is firestarter ?
[03:06] <Rodel> Slart: Back up a step, what i meant was when i put in the disc it loads a menu in which i can choose "Start or Install ..." "Start with safe graphics" and 4 or 5 other options
[03:06] <priich> and you punched a hole in the firewall for port 177 ?
[03:06] <IdleOne> jack, I tried being nice to you and me telling you about your attitude is the first step at solving the problems your having but now I see that you need more help then I can offer. Good luck.
[03:06] <jack> iptables isnt running at all..
[03:07] <Slart> Rodel: ah.. yes.. you've already installed ubuntu.. so you get the normal start menu... what happens if you select start?
[03:07] <jack> don't worry about my attitude, IdleOne, i really like clueful people
[03:07] <Rodel> Slart: it loads what i am using now... and it has the 2 icons and the basic stuff
[03:07] <Fattay> Pelo!
[03:08] <Fattay> We have a problem. I rebooted, and my monitor is black, with a redo box that says "Out of Range"
[03:08] <IdleOne> jack,  I really like people who actualy believe that they are the only ones in the entire universe that the rest of us should concentrate on
[03:08] <Fattay> red*
[03:08] <Pelo> Fattay,  hold on
[03:08] <Fattay> Okay.
[03:08] <jack> well, 12 hours != only one, but whatever
[03:08] <Slart> Rodel: ok.. and if you restart without the cd in the drive.. what happens? it counts memory and finds some hard drives? and then you get a boot menu with ubuntu kernel XXXX , perhaps memory test.. and a rescue mode.. right?
[03:08] <freeza> anyone have a dell latitude d630?
[03:08] <Pelo> fattay ok   are you using a crt monitor ?
[03:08] <jack> i guess the knowledge i need is ancient shit already :x
[03:09] <Rodel> Slart: No, it shows the gateway screen then it goes black does a couple flickers then says "Error loading operating system"
[03:09] <Fattay> Sorry. Accidently Closed IRC. Lemme know when you can help me Pelo...
[03:09] <spike723_> how to I silence my pc speaker in ubuntu?
[03:09] <Rodel> Pelo: fattay ok   are you using a crt monitor ?
[03:09] <Slart> Rodel: ok.. not even the menu then.. it's supposed to show you a boot menu just like windows 2k does
[03:09] <Pelo> fattay ok   are you using a crt monitor ?
[03:09] <spike723_> when I hit "backspace" in a terminal it makes a loud beep
[03:10] <Pelo> Fattay,  be patient with me I,m helping in 3 windows
[03:10] <Slart> Rodel: I'm going to do some googling.. I'll brb
[03:10] <jack> man xset spike723_
[03:10] <Rodel> Slart: alright
[03:10] <jack> that beep is called bell
[03:10] <Fattay> No. LCD. It says Out of Range: H: 50khz, V: 94hz, Max: 1280x1024
[03:10] <ubotu> To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type  dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages , move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type  sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade  - See also !automate

[03:11] <jack> meow, IdleOne
[03:11] <Fattay> But I can't see anything, all I have is a black screen with my monitor saying Out of Range...
[03:11] <LjL> ubotwo part
[03:11] <Slart> Rodel: you have more than one hard drive in your computer?
[03:11] <jack> is "freaking" too obscene already? my bad then
[03:11] <IdleOne> jack, ?? meow?
[03:11] <CaptainMorgan> !mysql
[03:11] <Rodel> Slart: Yes, but the spare doesnt have an OS on it and is small
[03:11] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[03:12] <j1tters> fattay switch to another terminal
[03:12] <jack> IdleOne: i really wish you had a clue
[03:12] <Slart> Rodel: and no raid setups or something like that.. regular hard drives?
[03:12] <Pelo> Fattay,  your problem is just that you need to adjust the horizsync setting in xorg.conf,  that is common with crt screens,   edit xorg.conf again find the correct line and make the ranage  ??-70
[03:12] <jack> since i seem to have caught your attention at least
[03:12] <spike723_> rmmod pcspkr
[03:12] <spike723_> that worked for me
[03:12] <Rodel> Slart: im too poor for raid stuff
[03:13] <Fattay> Can I edit the xorg.conf from like the Ubuntu Safe Mode thing?
[03:13] <spike723_> anyone in here booting an external usb hard drive?
[03:13] <IdleOne> jack, insulting me is not going to help you. btw you seem to be the one without a clue. your behavior is going to end up getting you banned
[03:13] <Slart> Rodel: =)... ok.. do you remember when you did the install if you were asked about grub? or boot drive?
[03:13] <jack> i was only honest
[03:13] <Rodel> Slart: I do not recall being asked about that...
[03:13] <Fattay> People are ttying to help you Jack, you can't be vindictive.
[03:14] <LjL> jack, stop arguing. if he can't or won't help you, that doesn't take away his right to point you to the channel rules. so just respect them and stop trolling.
[03:14] <IdleOne> jack, I cant help you with your issue and I honestly dont want to
[03:14] <Slart> Rodel: nothing about master boot record either?
[03:14] <Rodel> Slart: don't think so...
[03:14] <Pelo> Fattay, did you get my last msg ?
[03:14] <Fattay> Don't think so..
[03:14] <Slart> Rodel: ok.. well try something here.. open a terminal and run "sudo apt-get install gparted"
[03:15] <Slart> Rodel: it will install a partition editor called Gnome Partition Editor
[03:15] <jack> ok well, maybe i'll have to re-think my attitude concerning (k)ubuntu
[03:15] <jack> sigh
[03:15] <Rodel> Slart: would that be the same as opening Gnome Partition Editor?
[03:15] <Slart> Rodel: oh.. that is installed already.. yes.. that's it
[03:16] <Slart> Rodel:  in the top right corner is a roll down menu.. what options do you have there?
[03:16] <izm99> my laptop won't boot.  using a livecd, i get "ata1.00: failed to set xfermode, revalidation failed (errno=-2).. and it leaves me in a busybox shell
[03:16] <Rodel> Slart: top right is teh 2 diff HDs i have
[03:16] <izm99> does this mean my laptop hd is toast?  :(
[03:16] <Fattay> Pelo: I am in the Ubuntu Recovery Mode. What shall I type to edit the xorg.conf
[03:16] <Slart> Rodel: and they are called? /dev/hda? or /dev/sda?
[03:16] <Pelo> Fattay,  sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:17] <DerangedDingo> Hi, sorry to just jump in, but, is there any way to reinstall a fresh Ubuntu installation while running Feisty fawn WITHOUT a LiveCD?
[03:17] <jack> i'll leave you in peace, and get seveas to help me eventually...have fun, clueless people :(
[03:17] <Rodel> Slart: the smaller of my HDs is sda and the one with Ubuntu is sdb... is that possibly the issue?
[03:18] <elmo_> hi there, is this the place to ask some question ?
[03:18] <Slart> Rodel: I don't really think so.. but perhaps
[03:18] <Fattay> Pelo: In xorg.conf, I have like a ton 4 or 5 lines that say subection "Display" then two lines under it, then EndSubsecion, and then another sbsection display, etc. Isnt there only suppose to be 1 Subsection Display?
[03:18] <DerangedDingo> Rodel: Is it an issue with GRUB?
[03:18] <Slart> Rodel: select the feisty drive... and right click on the largest partition that's on it.. select "manage flags"
[03:18] <Slart> DerangedDingo: "Error loading operating system" on boot up.. no grub, no nothing
[03:19] <Rodel> Slart: as of now it has boot flag and thats it
[03:19] <deebus> can anyone tell me what libraries I need for lex?
[03:19] <Pelo> Fattay,  look for horizsynk     23-56 or whastever the numbers are  change it to **-70  ( ** means leave those numbers as is )
[03:19] <Trynemjoel> I'm getting an error when trying to unmount my NTSF-partition. Getting Error: umount:/media/sda1 disagrees with the fstab. Any advice on how to make it unmount? (Novice user) :)
[03:19] <Ultima`> Hey, "simple" question.  I configured ndiswrapper correctly, I'm actually using it right now.  However, after a restart, I have to do "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" in a terminal to make my wireless work.  How do I configure it so that this happens automatically?
[03:19] <elmo_> elmo cant boot live 7.04 cd, just sits on the ubuntu logo loading... can any ubuntus help?
[03:20] <Slart> Rodel: hmm..ok.. in the terminal run this "gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst"
[03:20] <Rodel> Slart: actually, the biggest chunk of partition is windows but that does have any flags, the Ubuntu has the boot flag
[03:20] <Fattay> Pelo: Okay, how do I save ths file and reboot?
[03:20] <Slart> Rodel: which partition is the feisty one.. /dev/sdb2? /dev/sdb3?
[03:20] <Rodel> Slart: i feel noobish for asking this, but i access terminal by doing ....?
[03:20] <LjL> !cli
[03:20] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[03:20] <Pelo> Fattay,  I have no idea how to sayve in nano
[03:20] <Rodel> Slart: sdb2
[03:21] <Pelo> LjL,  do you know how to save in nano ?
[03:21] <Slart> Rodel: =), no worries.. it's the command line.. Applications menu, accessoires, terminal
[03:21] <LjL> Pelo: ctrl+x saves and exits
[03:21] <Pelo> Fattay, ^
[03:21] <Fattay> Thanks!
[03:21] <Fattay> Lets see if this work...
[03:21] <Fattay> how do i reboot?
[03:21] <yobrien> Ultima`: not sure if its the official way ... but if you add the modules /etc/modules it should get loaded
[03:21] <Fattay> from nano
[03:21] <Fattay> err
[03:21] <LjL> Fattay: nano is a text editor, you don't reboot from it
[03:21] <Fattay> from command line in recovery mode
[03:21] <LjL> Fattay: "sudo reboot"
[03:22] <DerangedDingo> the only way of fixing that I think is by booting a LiveCD, entering a terminal, trying blkid, entering a grub shell from the terminal, and entering "find /boot/grub/menu.lst" and then, with the partition that it finds "root (hd1,x)" and then "setup (hd1)"
[03:22] <Rodel> Slart: should i still do "gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" or does it being in sdb2 change something?
[03:22] <NemesisD> hi guys, ive been trying forever to get this stupid tape drive working in ubuntu, the main problem is i don't know where it is, tar tvf /dev/st0 fails, any ideas?
[03:23] <Ultima`> yobrien:  Thanks, I'll try it right now
[03:23] <Slart> DerangedDingo, Rodel: looks like DerangedDingo has some answers here.. why not try it
[03:23] <elmo_> QUESTION: does any ubuntee know why 7.04 live cd wont boot...just hangs on logo.
[03:24] <Fattay> YAY
[03:24] <Fattay> I got it!
[03:24] <Fattay> Woohooo
[03:24] <Fattay> Thanks Guys
[03:24] <Slart> DerangedDingo: normal computer, 2 disks, feisty on second drive (dev/sdb2), windows install on second drive too.. normal 32bit ubuntu feisty fawn.. that's it I think
[03:24] <DerangedDingo> Slart: Does he have a LiveCD?
[03:25] <Slart> DerangedDingo: ask him =).. it's Rodel
[03:25] <Rodel> DerangedDingo: Yes
[03:25] <DerangedDingo> Rodel: Do you have a LiveCD?
[03:25] <Slart> DerangedDingo: he's running from the livecd as we speak
[03:25] <DerangedDingo> oh, ok good
[03:25] <dfgas> on mac how do install flash 9 and java6
[03:25] <yobrien> elmo_: try booting in safe mode or what ever it is called
[03:25] <Slart> dfgas: eh.. perhaps you'll get better answers in a mac channel?
[03:26] <DerangedDingo> Rodel: Open a terminal, and enter 'sudo blkid'
[03:26] <Rodel> DerangedDIngo: when i put "find /boot/grub/menu.lst" it returns "find: /boot/grub: No such file or directory"
[03:26] <Ultima`> yobrien:  It worked, thanks a ton.  Now if I could stop the keyring from asking my password at startup to get onto the wireless net...that'd be even sweeter
[03:26] <DerangedDingo> have you entered a grub shell (sudo grub)
[03:26] <Rodel> DerangedDingo: it returns info about my spare HD
[03:27] <ferret_0567> My friend says that finch (the pidgin console IM program, like gaim-text before it), doesn't look good in a tty console, but works fine in a xterm or gnome-terminal. How do I fix the problem in the tty console?
[03:27] <Rodel> DerangedDingo: Dont think so
[03:27] <yobrien> Ultima`: not sure ... look under system->preferences i think there is a key manager there somewhere
[03:27] <Pelo> is Fattay  back ?  did it work ?
[03:28] <Ultima`> well, as long as I don't have to enter something in the terminal to make my networking to work every launch, I'm happy.  I can deal with it asking for my key password
[03:28] <Shaezsche> does ubuntu have built in censor controls?
[03:28] <Shaezsche> to protect little kids from using the internet?
[03:28] <drew> whats the name of the next ubuntu?
[03:28] <bruenig> !info squid
[03:28] <ubotu> squid: Internet Object Cache (WWW proxy cache). In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.5-4ubuntu2 (feisty), package size 625 kB, installed size 1600 kB
[03:29] <bruenig> drew, gutsy gibbon
[03:29] <avis> is squid hard to configure ?
[03:29] <drew> ty
[03:29] <Ultima`> but now beryl is not showing any window borders...  any clue how to fix this?
[03:29] <CaptainMorgan> I forget what to do after I have done sudo apt-get install mysql-server libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql, when trying to access phpinfo.php it asks me to download the file instead of displaying it...
[03:29] <bruenig> don't know, try it out and report
[03:30] <CaptainMorgan> any suggestions?
[03:30] <yobrien> Ultima`: have you got the little beryl icon in the notification area?
[03:30] <CaptainMorgan> I restarted apache2 as well....
[03:30] <Ultima`> Ya
[03:30] <Ultima`> ohhh, "reload window decorator"  Got it
[03:31] <ferret_0567> Shaezsche: try installing and configuring Dans Gaurdian
[03:32] <Shaezsche> dan's gaurd? is that in the repos?
[03:32] <j1tters> speaking of beryl anyone know how much overhead it sucks up?
[03:32] <NemesisD> anyone? i need some advice as to how to go about getting a tape drive working in ubuntu, i don't even know where the device is in /dev
[03:32] <Ultima`> j1tters:  I would tell you if I knew how to check it
[03:32] <duaneb> yello
[03:32] <duaneb> how can I change the background for the console?
[03:32] <duaneb> the tty*s
[03:33] <j1tters> heh. thats ok. was just sort of curious. already pushing this to its limits with twinview and dual 1600x1200 displays.
[03:33] <yobrien> CaptainMorgan: maybe add   AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php3 ,to you apache config...
[03:33] <DerangedDingo> Open a terminal
[03:33] <Rodel> Done
[03:33] <Fattay> How would I install a .tar.bz2 file?
[03:34] <Digital_Warrior> well first you are going to need to expand the file
[03:34] <LadyNikon> !install
[03:34] <DerangedDingo> duaneb: Open a terminal, go to the edit Tab, select profiles, and then click Edit, and under "Effects" you can choose a background
[03:34] <Fattay> !install
[03:34] <ferret_0567> Shaezsche: I think soi
[03:34] <LadyNikon> bleh
[03:34] <duaneb> DerangedDingo: heh
[03:34] <LadyNikon> Fattay: its not in the synaptic?
[03:34] <yobrien> tar -jxf file.tar.bz2  , it will extract to the current directory
[03:34] <duaneb> in my ttys
[03:34] <duaneb> not my term emulators
[03:34] <Fattay> I just downloaded it...
[03:34] <LadyNikon> so thats a no
[03:34] <LadyNikon> ?
[03:35] <DerangedDingo> I have no clue if it's possible in a tty
[03:35] <Fattay> lol Guess so. It's sitting on my desktp
[03:35] <Fattay> desktop*
[03:36] <DerangedDingo> because, a TTY doesn't use X Server, so... without a GUI how do you have a background
[03:36] <DerangedDingo> at least i don't think it does
[03:36] <priich> should be doable in framebuffer but dunno if anyone has done it
[03:36] <LadyNikon> Fattay: is the problem in synaptic. the one you downloaded.. or .. was it only available to download individually
[03:36] <LadyNikon> s/problem/program
[03:36] <CaptainMorgan> yobrien, nah.. I added what you said below the other AddType's within apache.conf, restarted apache and it still doens't work - still asking me if I want to download the file instead of displaying it
[03:36] <Fattay> just download individually LadyNikon
[03:37] <ProN00b> uhm, can i encrypt the whole ubuntu install ?
[03:37] <LadyNikon> Fattay: you would have to unpack the file.. and install it the old fashion way..
[03:37] <j1tters> what do you mean encrypt the whole install?
[03:37] <LadyNikon> which is why i asked.. is the program you want to install.. available in synaptic
[03:37] <Fattay> Figured....and the old fashioned way is...
[03:37] <Fattay> lol
[03:37] <erb_> Does anyone know a good webmaster IRC channel?
[03:38] <ProN00b> j1tters, encrypt /
[03:38] <LadyNikon> erb_: searchirc.org?
[03:38] <Rodel> What does the flag "lba" do?
[03:38] <silent_> ProNOOB, why?
[03:38] <ProN00b> silent_, confidential data ?
[03:40] <smokestack> hey guys.. looking for an IRC client as an alternative to gaim in GNOME -- any suggestions?
[03:40] <Rodel> Slark: you still here?
[03:40] <LadyNikon> smokestack: irssi.. xchat
[03:40] <t94xr> xchat
[03:40] <ProN00b> smokestack, xchat
[03:40] <t94xr> bitchx
[03:40] <j1tters> xchat
[03:40] <smokestack> :)
[03:40] <smokestack> thanks much!
[03:40] <LadyNikon> smokestack: irssi if you like console.. xchat for gui
[03:40] <smokestack> ahh, okay
[03:41] <smokestack> thanks again
[03:41] <Rodel> ahhh Slart*
[03:41] <Slart> Rodel: huh?
[03:41] <Rodel> Slart: What does the flag "lba" do?
[03:41] <Slart> Rodel: hmm.. can't remember the exact meaning.. but I think it has something to do with big hard drives..
[03:42] <j1tters> large block something isnt it?
[03:42] <blanny> hey does anyone here need a java programmer for some project?
[03:42] <Slart> might be, j1tters
[03:42] <j1tters> large block addressing... not a setting that is really needed except in some odd situations afaik
[03:42] <j1tters> least i think. :)
[03:43] <hai2u> hy
[03:43] <Slart> Rodel: question answered?
[03:43] <Rodel> hmm well my back up HD had that as a flag automatically
[03:43] <Rodel> and it had a boot flag
[03:43] <bruenig> !offtopic | blanny learn a real language
[03:43] <Rodel> which is where i think my problem lies
[03:43] <hai2u> Will Turner dies and becomes the captain of the flying Dutchman.
[03:43] <bruenig> no ubotu?
[03:43] <Slart> Rodel: hmm.. ok.. can you remove the boot flag from the small drive?
[03:43] <LadyNikon> heh
[03:43] <blanny> haha
[03:43] <bruenig> I can't operate without ubotu
[03:44] <LadyNikon> guess you will have to talk to people :p
[03:44] <Rodel> Slart: Think so, i was just wondering if i should remove the lba while i was at it
[03:44] <bruenig> that just won't do
[03:44] <blanny> i know c/c++, assembly, and python, but i need to practice for the java certification
[03:44] <Slart> Rodel: if you don't have anything on the smaller drive, why not try it
[03:44] <bruenig> do you know what a class is
[03:45] <blanny> an oo class?
[03:45] <bruenig> alright, you are fine then
[03:45] <CaptainMorgan> !cgi-bin
[03:45] <Rodel> Slart: i dont have an OS on the smaller drive, what i do have is my files that i didnt want to lose in this crazy ness
[03:45] <blanny> haha
[03:45] <Slart> Rodel: better not touch that flag then
[03:45] <ThePioneer> Can anyone help me with Deluge?
[03:45] <Ultima`> is there any way to make pidgin auto-join an IRC channel?
[03:45] <blanny> are any of you guys in IT?
[03:45] <bruenig> java is too long, too much writing
[03:46] <CaptainMorgan> after setting up the apache2 web server containing php5 and mysql, where is the cgi-bin located? I am having a bitch of a time finding it
[03:46] <j1tters> logical block addressing. just let the flag. its for large drives.
[03:46] <blanny> java is heaven compared to asm
[03:46] <LadyNikon> blanny: probably alot of us
[03:46] <Rodel> Slart: Thanks for the help im going to restart and see if it can boot now... ill be back soon
[03:46] <ejack> really depends what you are doing with asm or java
[03:46] <Slart> CaptainMorgan: /var/www/cgi-bin perhaps? do a "sudo updatedb" and then "locate cgi-bin"
[03:46] <priich> bruening: so you're one of those fellas that like syntax thatlooks like someone chewed up the upper row of the keyboard (with shift) and barfed it out again ? :)
[03:46] <blanny> im in computer engineering, but almost all of the low level summer jobs are java :/
[03:47] <blanny> bruenig, what are you using that has more abstraction than java? ruby?
[03:47] <ThePioneer> Deluge anyone?
[03:47] <CaptainMorgan> the only search I performed located it within /usr/lib/w3m/ Slart , this can't be the one
[03:48] <CaptainMorgan> and there is no folder by that name within /var/www
[03:48] <Slart> CaptainMorgan: are you sure it's created automatically?
[03:48] <bruenig> I know very little java actually, but c and c++ from my limited experience there seems far easier to write
[03:48] <ejack> blanny: what are you doing for you summer job?
[03:48] <bruenig> I don't program, so I just use bash to get stuff done if I need some low level automation

[03:48] <ThePioneer> Someone help?
[03:48] <otero> anyone know how to get ubuntu to work wirelessly?
[03:49] <blanny> i just interviewed for a QA job testing and debugging database software in java
[03:49] <bruenig> otero, depends on your card
[03:49] <blanny> otero yes, use the network manager applet
[03:49] <duaneb> anyone had any luck playing casino royale on their linux box?
[03:49] <otero> I have intel card
[03:49] <duaneb> it plays in vlc great, but stops ten seconds in with totem
[03:49] <duaneb> doesn't even play with mplayer :/
[03:49] <blanny> try modprobe ipw2200
[03:49] <blanny> or 2100
[03:50] <bruenig> or 3945
[03:50] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - See also !automate
[03:50] <ubotu> blanny learn a real language: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[03:50] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cgi-bin - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:50] <bruenig> there it is
[03:51] <CaptainMorgan> Slart, ah.. I think I found it.. but I am not if it's the correct one - /usr/lib/cgi-bin
[03:51] <Slart> CaptainMorgan: hmm.. that kind of makes sense.. but only kind of
[03:51] <Slart> CaptainMorgan: nothing in the docs?
[03:51] <Rodel> I have returned... with no happy news
[03:51] <Slart> Rodel: same as last time?
[03:51] <Fattay> Can I install cPanel/WHM on ubuntu?
[03:51] <ejack> blanny: do you know how to work with databases decently?
[03:51] <Rodel> Slart: yup
[03:52] <blanny> yeah mysql, but i haven't messed with oracle much
[03:52] <priich> CaptainMorgan: the cgi-bin is wherever apache thinks it is, so easiest way to find it would be to look in httpd.conf or whatever it's called nowadays.
[03:52] <Slart> Rodel: did you try the grub-install command?
[03:53] <vegar_> Hi. I'm using ubuntu feisty and have installed mt-daapd to share my music to the other pcs in my LAN.
[03:53] <CaptainMorgan> priich, thanks, Slart  that is the correct one via the location pointed to by /etc/apache2/site-enabled/default :)
[03:53] <Rodel> Slart: Nope... how would i go about doing that? i assume i start in terminal.... but nto sure what steps from there
[03:53] <vegar_> I have started the service and i can log in to the web based configuration on port 3689, however i cant find the share in itunes or rhythmbox
[03:53] <CaptainMorgan> thanks
[03:53] <vegar_> I'm all out of ideas as the web based configuration tells me it's running and has 392 songs shared
[03:54] <vegar_> could anyone help me troubleshoot?
[03:54] <Slart> Rodel: ok.. we'll start by checking that grub is installed.. "sudo apt-get install grub"
[03:54] <Slart> Rodel: that either just returns with something about package already newest version .. or it installs it
[03:54] <blanny> vegar_ firewall?
[03:54] <Rodel> Slart: already newest version next step = sudo grub?
[03:55] <Slart> Rodel: try "sudo grub-install"
[03:55] <vegar_> no firewall blanny.. the web thing tells me "Bonjour" is stopped.. what is that?
[03:55] <Rodel> Slart: install_device not specified.
[03:55] <blanny> i think thats a chat protocol
[03:55] <blanny> i could be wrong
[03:55] <priich> bonjour is the same thing as zeroconf
[03:56] <Slart> Rodel: hmm.. ok.. "grub-install /dev/sdb"
[03:56] <priich> ie a protocol for ad-hoc networking between units on the same lan.
[03:56] <vegar_> i see
[03:56] <blanny> sounds like u might need that running then
[03:56] <blanny> but thats an apple thing no?
[03:57] <Rodel> Slart: Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device.
[03:57] <vegar_> "mt-daapd has its own implementation of the Bonjour protocol used by iTunes for discover the DAAP shares on the current network"
[03:57] <Rodel> Slart: should i flag fiesty as lba?
[03:57] <vegar_> i wonder why it's stopped then
[03:57] <Slart> Rodel: hehe... ok.. your feisty drive was call /dev/sdb2, right?
[03:57] <Slart> Rodel: nah.. don't think it's necessary
[03:58] <j1tters> anyone running dual displays?
[03:58] <blanny> i wish
[03:58] <silent_> no, but I tried it once
[03:58] <j1tters> hmm.
[03:58] <silent_> its a pain in the ass
[03:58] <silent_> but possible
[03:58] <Rodel> Slart: yes and ok
[03:58] <j1tters> silent actually under fiesty it was easy as heck (if your running an nvidia card) nice graphical tool now.
[03:58] <silent_> right now I'm just pimping out my new ubuntu install
[03:58] <Slart> Rodel: ok new try "grub-install /dev/sdb2"
[03:58] <blanny> vegar_ dapp looks cool ill install it hang on
[03:58] <silent_> oh really?
[03:58] <silent_> score
[03:58] <blanny> see if we dont run into the same problem
[03:59] <vegar_> j1tters: if you have nvidia-glx, you could do "nvidia-settings" in a terminal
[03:59] <j1tters> oh yeh. nvidia-settings easy as pie. took me like 2 min to get twinview runnig
[03:59] <Rodel> Slart: same response as last time
[03:59] <silent_> I tried it back in 5
[03:59] <j1tters> yeh thats what i used vegar
[03:59] <priich> blanny: well bonjour is apples implementation but there's also avahi and i think microsoft has their own called some acronym soup as well.
[03:59] <Slart> Rodel: hmm.. ok.. I'll have to read about grub then.. brb
[03:59] <vegar_> priich: looks like mt-daapd has its own
[03:59] <inflex> Hi there all, I've got a Radeon 9250 GFX card and ever since switching from Slackware -> Ubuntu I've noticed that the redraw performance is very poor
[03:59] <silent_> j1tters, you mind helping me install my nvidia drivers?
[03:59] <j1tters> what i was wondering. if i start say lincity it starts right in the middle of the spanned display. wondering if there was a way to get it to start on just 1 side so its all on the same monitor
[03:59] <inflex> is there something I can do / fix ?  It's running at 1920 x 1200 resolution
[04:00] <blanny> inflex are u using fglrx drive?
[04:00] <j1tters> silent. not at all. one sec.
[04:00] <blanny> *driver
[04:00] <inflex> blanny: I don't know - how do I check? It's 7.04 Ubuntu
[04:00] <inflex> (I don't do 3D)
[04:00] <vbabiy> hey can any one give me some support with bind
[04:00] <silent_> I installed through synaptic nvidia-glx-new, edited xorg to Driver = nvidia, but X crashed on reboot, should I try nvidia-glx?
[04:00] <blanny> u aren't unless u installed it
[04:00] <vbabiy> i can't get it to start
[04:00] <vegar_> blanny: you gettin' any bonjour there? :p
[04:00] <j1tters> silent here. its like 2 steps. go here first.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia  thats to install the restricted binary which you need. then
[04:01] <silent_> or should I try to use the drivers straight of nvid's site? I'm using an 8800 GTS so I might need the latest
[04:01] <inflex> blanny: okay, seeing a lot in apt-cache, I'll progress from there - thanks
[04:01] <j1tters> just run gksudo nvidia-settings and your golden. i had NO issues at all.
[04:01] <blanny> vegar_ i just did apt-get
[04:01] <noiesmo> silent_, have you got restircted modules to match your kernel
[04:01] <silent_> how can I check?
[04:01] <vegar_> allright blanny
[04:01] <j1tters> silent that first link will tell you how to install the restricted driver.
[04:01] <blanny> ahh damn no deb package for dapp?
[04:02] <Slart> Rodel: here someone else with the same problem..http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=8db77348dbdfa932faeb325ec3db554a&t=449767&page=2
[04:02] <silent_> alright, is the uninstall easy if something messes up?
[04:02] <Morkalin> hi all!
[04:02] <silent_> or easy to switch to vesa?
[04:02] <pietro10> Hey
[04:02] <j1tters> for the driver?
[04:02] <pietro10> I just found out I don't need to install Linux to an external drive on an Intel Mac
[04:03] <pietro10> All I need is Boot Camp and rEFIt
[04:03] <j1tters> what card are you using silent?
[04:03] <silent_> 8800 GTS
[04:03] <vbabiy> hey any one whit some bind knowledge
[04:03] <pietro10> Now all I need to do is make rEFIt the default instead of GRUB
[04:03] <noiesmo> silent_, hers a one liner "sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) linux-restricted-modules-common nvidia-glx-new nvidia-kernel-common"
[04:03] <j1tters> you should be fine.
[04:03] <crdlb> silent_, nvidia-glx won't work for sure
[04:03] <j1tters> noiesmo you dont have to do all that . you can do it through synaptic.
[04:03] <vegar_> blanny: just do an apt-get mt-daapd
[04:03] <crdlb> it's too old
[04:04] <benx86> 8
[04:04] <crdlb> but nvidia-glx-new is supposed to
[04:04] <spike723_> how can I get a program so it can use the root window?
[04:04] <benx86> +
[04:04] <silent_> noiesmo, can I navigate to that package through synaptic?
[04:04] <silent_> crdlb, I tried new, the system crashed
[04:04] <benx86> sudo apt-get update
[04:04] <silent_> X crapped out
[04:04] <crdlb> silent_, sudo apt-get install linux-generic
[04:04] <silent_> what will that do?
[04:04] <noiesmo> silent_, probably I would just use terminal
[04:04] <HappyPills> Question regarding seamless integration of Windows into Ubuntu via VirtualBox, is it possible to make the windows taskbar always on top and treated like a normal gnome panel?
[04:04] <silent_> k
[04:04] <crdlb> install the linux-restricted-modules package
[04:04] <priich> vbabiy: bind is truly evil but go ahead and ask your question.
[04:05] <crdlb> silent_, but it's a lot easier to type :)
[04:05] <vbabiy> priich: well give me a sec i think i might have got it
[04:05] <vbabiy> priich: but it sure is eveil

[04:06] <silent_> sec
[04:06] <Morkalin> Quick question: How does "Add/Remove" programs tie in with Synaptic?  Is it safe to chop and change between installing packages from one and then the other?
[04:06] <alfie_> i was wondering if anyone can help me about sound
[04:06] <Polygon89> Does anyone know how to edit a font? i specifically want to edit the name (as the font author forgot to name it, its just named "regular" and not the correct name.
[04:07] <silent_> warning popped up... one of the lines... "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log|grep EE"
[04:07] <silent_> I'll pastebin the output
[04:07] <priich> Morkalin: they are but graphical frontends to the same underlying packagae management system. And yes it is safe.
[04:07] <Morkalin> priich: thanks :-)
[04:08] <silent_> http://pastebin.ca/raw/512993
[04:08] <crdlb> silent_, are you using vesa?
[04:08] <priich> Polygon89:  it depends on the type of font.
[04:08] <silent_> atm yes, nvidia crashes X
[04:09] <crdlb> silent_, do that same command with log.old
[04:09] <Polygon89> priich,  it is a truetype font.
[04:09] <blanny> i had so many lockups using nvidia
[04:09] <crdlb> cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old|grep EE
[04:09] <j1tters> blanny i've had none. and i have 2 dual systems. one with an 8600 and this one with a 6300. both run perfectly.
[04:09] <alfie_> i have an hp dv2000t and i just installed feisty on in dual os w/ xp at first i didnt hear any sound but now i listened carefully i heard some sound but its really low even though settings is all the way up. can anyone help me with that
[04:10] <silent_> http://pastebin.ca/raw/512998
[04:10] <Polygon89> alfie_, are you sure that the volume control is controlling the correct volume channel?
[04:10] <dave> whats the # for glx/compiz questions?
[04:10] <alfie_> i'm not sure
[04:10] <crdlb> !effects

[04:10] <dave> !effects
[04:10] <dave> thanks
[04:10] <silent_> j1tters, I tried the -new drivers, but I have uninstalled them since and installed the -glx drivers, should I try these out?
[04:10] <bruenig> alfie, try sudo amixer set Master 90% unmute && sudo amixer set PCM 85% unmute
[04:10] <Polygon89> alfie_, heres how to test.
[04:11] <crdlb> silent_, nvidia-glx /will not/ work
[04:11] <crdlb> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20/+bug/98641
[04:11] <silent_> ok, should I uninstall them?
[04:11] <Polygon89> alfie_, open up a music file or start playing music or something, then go to terminal, type in "alsamixer"
[04:11] <alfie_> aight listening
[04:11] <crdlb> silent_, nvidia-glx-new is the only thing that might
[04:11] <crdlb> silent_, but see that bug
[04:11] <j1tters> im just checking which im runnign
[04:11] <silent_> what does that bug indicate?
[04:12] <crdlb> silent_, that bug is why it doesn't work
[04:12] <Polygon89> alfie_, , then go to each volume and start turning each up (using left and right to switch channels, up /down to change volume.) Do this for all of them (be sure to reset the ones the ones that dont work) and keep doing it until you find the one that hopefulyl controls your volume
[04:12] <silent_> crdlb, I can see the restricted modules you were talking about in synaptic
[04:12] <silent_> which do I need?
[04:12] <crdlb> silent_, you've already got it
[04:12] <j1tters> im running Nvidia Driver Version 1.0-9631 on this system.
[04:12] <j1tters> ands its flawless
[04:13] <crdlb> silent_, uname -r
[04:13] <silent_> 2.6.20-15-generic
[04:13] <blanny> where did vegar_ go?
[04:13] <vegar_> im here
[04:13] <blanny> k mine is up and running
[04:13] <crdlb> silent_, then that's definitely the problem (that bug)
[04:14] <vegar_> are you seeing it from itunes/rhythmbox?
[04:14] <blanny> i just need to test it on my mac
[04:14] <silent_> crdlb, should I try to install the drivers from the nvidia site or would that make a difference?
[04:14] <blanny> lemme try it on the local box first
[04:14] <vegar_> k
[04:14] <j1tters> i didnt mess with the new as the glx have just worked so well.
[04:14] <crdlb> silent_, they don't suffer from that bug
[04:14] <silent_> what is the bug?
[04:14] <vegar_> try it on an external one as well if you can
[04:14] <crdlb> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20/+bug/98641
[04:14] <crdlb> you need libwfb for the 8800 to work
[04:15] <avis> what is the name of kde's klauncher ?
[04:15] <silent_> ill search it
[04:15] <crdlb> silent_, search what?
[04:15] <silent_> libwfb
[04:16] <blanny> vegar_ did u say u can get to the web config?
[04:16] <Pelo> !grub > faight
[04:16] <silent_> crdlb, how do the drivers straight from nvidia work... do they use the packaging system? How do I uninstall them if they don't work?
[04:17] <crdlb> silent_, they completely ignore the packaging system
[04:17] <vegar_> blanny: yes, everything but the appearance of the server in itunes/rhythmbox work
[04:17] <vegar_> s
[04:17] <crdlb> silent_, check the ubuntu forums
[04:17] <silent_> are they safe to use or with they conflict?
[04:17] <silent_> ok
[04:17] <crdlb> search for 8800 nvidia-glx-new libwfb
[04:18] <crdlb> silent_, they do conflict
[04:18] <Rode1> im having some partitioning issues
[04:18] <jasam> hi, my ubuntu many often freezes for a minute or so, not repainting windows, and then restores, sometimes, after that certain applications are closed, others remain running, sometimes I must reset, someone knows something about this?
[04:18] <Ericc> hey guys
[04:19] <Ericc> anyone use Gaim -> need help
[04:19] <robert98374> Hello everyone!
[04:19] <Soccrmastr> jasam: are you using any fancy window managers, or just the default that come with Ubuntu?
[04:19] <j1tters> im use gaim
[04:19] <Adam> Does anyone have any advice on storing files on a central server?  I have samba set up, but should I make a dedicated user, or just a samba share that points to a folder in my home directory? I know, silly quesition, I just don't want to overlook anything...
[04:19] <Ericc> default
[04:19] <j1tters> er im using gaim.
[04:19] <robert98374> anyone know what our equivalent is to MS front page?
[04:19] <jasam> Soccrmastr, default
[04:19] <Ericc> problem connecting to anything other than ubuntu
[04:20] <jasam> Soccrmastr, no acceleration
[04:20] <noiesmo> robert98374, not equiv but you got quanta bluefish nvu
[04:20] <nj786> i need help finding a driver for my printer can anybody help me?
[04:20] <robert98374> noiesmo how close is it?
[04:20] <j1tters> ericc in irc you mean?
[04:20] <Morkalin> robert98374:  there isn't really a straight equivalent, but as noiesmo says I'd look at Quanta Plus and Nvu definitely
[04:20] <Ericc> right
[04:20] <Soccrmastr> jasam: i dont know, if it's a fresh install I would try burning a new disc, this happened to me once I burned a new disc, reinstalled and it worked fine. But it might be a problem if you have a lot of files you need backed up. I'm sure theres another fix rather than reinstalling.
[04:20] <j1tters> getting an error?
[04:21] <noiesmo> robert98374, they dont require html super skills but not many templetes etc
[04:21] <blanny> vegar_ my server isn't showing up either :/
[04:21] <Adam> nj786: www.linuxprinting.org
[04:21] <blanny> we must be missing something
[04:21] <Ericc> I can't connect because everytime I create a different account it doesn't let me "enable it"
[04:22] <Ericc> I can only "enable it" with this irc server
[04:22] <KiloHertz> Anyone here ever used OPENBOX?
[04:22] <vegar_> blanny: crappy stuff

[04:22] <KiloHertz> UBUNTU IS  A PIECE OF SHIT
[04:22] <blanny> vegar_ lemme try it on my xbox
[04:22] <alfie_> i just turned everything all the way up
[04:22] <blanny> hey now
[04:22] <vegar_> hey now, what now?
[04:23] <Ericc> alright I'm out.. gonna try something else
[04:23] <silent_> crdlb, apparently there is a fix... can you help me with it?
[04:23] <blanny> hah not u
[04:23] <dr_willis> KiloHertz,  and we care about your oponion why?
[04:23] <jasam> Soccrmastr, my computer was sold with last ubuntu and I reinstalled with a new CD, the same was happening in both installations
[04:23] <j1tters> ericc i just tested mine. it was fine.
[04:23] <Rode1> In the Gnome Partition Editor i chose to create a new partition with an ext2 system and when i click apply it says "/dev/sdb2 is mounted; will not make a filesystem here!"
[04:23] <j1tters> what server are you trying to connect to?
[04:23] <jburd_> What's the difference between xserver-xorg-video-intel  and xserver-xorg-video-i810 ?
[04:23] <dr_willis> Rode1,  you dont want to be changing partitions on mounted filesystems
[04:23] <Polygon89> Rodel, you have to unmount the drive that you want to format
[04:23] <Soccrmastr> jasam: I dont know then sorry ... might wanna ask someone else, or get more advanced help in the ubuntu forums
[04:24] <Polygon89> Rodel, err partitions
[04:24] <jasam> Soccrmastr, thank you anyway!
[04:24] <Polygon89> Rodel, i think "sudo umount /dev/sdb2 " should do it
[04:25] <jasam> Soccrmastr, I saw a similar bug in the ubuntu forums, however it was long to read
[04:25] <DgrMouse> hi peoples.. can someone help me pls
[04:25] <Rode1> Polygon89, i have unmounted and then tried ot change its system but i get teh same message back
[04:25] <Soccrmastr> jasam:  heh
[04:25] <Gursikh> Hi guys! Ubuntu 7.04. I was wanting to check out KDE, so I was installing kubuntu-desktop via synaptic. however near the end of the process I got this error: http://pastebin.ca/513016 on kmail. I cant seem to get past that. Going in a jsut choosing to install or remove kmail also gives that same error. Any help would be appreciated.
[04:25] <Polygon89> Rodel, did you refresh/restart gparted?
[04:25] <dr_willis> Rode1,  this is why i normally use a live cd and it gparted tools.
[04:25] <DgrMouse> where do I find the kernel source files?
[04:25] <Rode1> Polygon89, no... but that is what i shall try now
[04:25] <drake> I'm having trouble with Direct Rendering on an ATI X200 series.. can anyone help me?
[04:25] <papatwilight> nice after a little work firstarted pssed the slieldsup test :)
[04:25] <DgrMouse> or do i have to download a package of them?
[04:26] <__mikem> Okay, theres something wrong with my fsck command. Every time my system does the obligatory "your system has been mounted 20 times' file system check, fsck hangs mid check and I am effectively locked out of my system until I use the install cd to boot into a rescue shell and run fsck manually. Can someone help me fix this as it is rather annoying.
[04:26] <dr_willis> papatwilight,  i wouldent trust that ShieldsUp Site very much. :) of course my router's firewall passes it also.
[04:26] <ProN00b> does anyone know how to encrypt the root partition ?
[04:26] <jasam> Soccrmastr, I will install another distro to test if is a hardware-related problem
[04:26] <Polygon89> DgrMouse, i think you have to download the kernel source through synaptic, then they appear somewhere, i believe /usr/src
[04:27] <Polygon89> DgrMouse, i think the name is "linux source" and then the version in synaptic
[04:27] <papatwilight> no i dont trust it very much but useualy if your passing it you do well with other tests it a basic stare :)
[04:27] <papatwilight> stare= start
[04:27] <DgrMouse> i don't know how to use synaptic sorry.. i am a real noob
[04:27] <j1tters> pronoob did you try google?  http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/disks-encrypting.html
[04:28] <Polygon89> DgrMouse, thats OK. You go to system > administration > synaptic package manager
[04:28] <drake> Can anyone help me with 'Direct Rendering'?
[04:28] <Rode1> Polygon89: if i refresh ro clsoe and reopen it remounts itself...
[04:28] <__mikem> DgrMouse, admitting you have a problem is half the battle ;)
[04:28] <Polygon89> Rodel, what kind of drive is it? a usb drive?
[04:28] <Polygon89> DgrMouse, then you can click "search" and search for "linux source"
[04:28] <Rode1> Polygon89 sdb
[04:28] <Rode1> Sata?
[04:29] <ShadyTree> !internet explorer
[04:29] <inflex> well, -that- didn't work :(
[04:29] <Polygon89> Rode1, as is it a internal hard drive, or is it a external hard drive
[04:29] <Soccrmastr> jasam: I'd prefer debian minimal cd, or you can try like a LiveCD
[04:29] <Rode1> Polygon89, oh... Internal
[04:29] <DgrMouse> Polygon89: cheers dude.. i will go play with it
[04:29] <Polygon89> DgrMouse, your welcome.
[04:29] <mirak> hi
[04:30] <mirak> is there a gui for LVM ?
[04:30] <__mikem> Okay, theres something wrong with my fsck command. Every time my system does the obligatory "your system has been mounted 20 times' file system check, fsck hangs mid check and I am effectively locked out of my system until I use the install cd to boot into a rescue shell and run fsck manually. Can someone help me fix this as it is rather annoying.
[04:30] <Polygon89> Rodel, ah. I am not sure why its remounting its self, an easy way to fix this is to boot up using a recent live cd (feisty for example), as these live cds have GParted on them, so you can do whatever partition changes you want without worrying about it being mounted.
[04:30] <drake> Hello?
[04:31] <Soccrmastr> hi???
[04:31] <Rode1> Polygon89: That is what i am doing.... i currently on a live CD... using GParted
[04:31] <masterdrake> hello.
[04:31] <jasam> Soccrmastr, a Live is a good idea! thanks, I'm downloading debian 1st CD now
[04:31] <Polygon89> Rode1, and its still mounting your hard drive? hmm.
[04:31] <drake> Can someone please help me with Direct Rendering?
[04:32] <Soccrmastr> jasam: theres no window manager/desktop environment on the debian cd
[04:32] <vegar_> blanny: i got it working
[04:32] <drake> I typed in GLXINFO and I got this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22648/
[04:32] <jasam> Soccrmastr, it isn't?
[04:33] <blanny> nice! i got my itunes folder to show up in rythmbox but thats about it
[04:33] <blanny> what did u do vegar_?
[04:33] <Soccrmastr> jasam: nope theres not. just try a new ubuntu iso, burn it to  a disc. they are livecd's
[04:33] <Rode1> Polygon89: when i right click->info at the bottom it says "Warning: Unable to read the contents of this filesystem! Because of this some operations may be unavailable. Did you install the correct plugin for this filesystem?"
[04:33] <Richie> -_-
[04:34] <Polygon89> Rodel, what kind of filesystem is on the drive?
[04:34] <Polygon89> Rode1,  what kind of filesystem is on the drive?
[04:35] <dejiko> .-.
[04:35] <Rode1> Polygon89: There is half of it formated as ntfs with windows on it... and now there is a corrupted almost half of ext3 and then there is a small portion of unallocated
[04:35] <vegar_> blanny: first I checked if avahi was running through the init script.. then i deleted the file in /var/cache/mt-daapd... then I started mt-daapd with "sudo mt-daapd -f" and noticed it got errors
[04:35] <vegar_> i killed it again and started it again with "sudo mt-daapd -f"
[04:35] <Polygon89> Rode1, are you right click > info on which one?
[04:35] <vegar_> then it showed everything okay
[04:36] <Polygon89> Rode1, whoops i meant which one is giving you that message
[04:36] <Ericc> anyone here have experience in wine?
[04:36] <Rode1> Polygon89: the second one, ext3... which i want ot be ext2
[04:36] <blanny> good job! congrats
[04:36] <blanny> i noticed my mdns service wasn't running
[04:36] <Ericc> I'm trying to run "diablo 1" and direct sound doesn't run under wine
[04:36] <Polygon89> Rode1, so the ext3 one is corrupt? and you dont care about formatting  it?
[04:37] <mzuverink> I have finally converted my mother over to Ubuntu with one major drawback, her machine is a Gatewat notebook, w/ and AMD Turion 64, and the ATI stuff works fine, howwever I cannot get the wireless card to work.  It is a Dell mini-wan 1390.  Anything I found does not work and going back to Vista is a no-no.  Anyone know of a good howto for that chipset?
[04:37] <DgrMouse> Polygon89: to find what kernel version i have, i type "uname -r" correct??
[04:37] <Rode1> Polygon89: possibly? i dont care for the ext3 i need a chunk of ext2... but it wont let me have that
[04:38] <Ultima`> How does one make a shortcut to a network location (in my case, a hard drive shared from windows vista on one of my home computers)?  In Windows, it'd be as easy as right-click-drag->Make shortcut...how do you do it in gnome?
[04:38] <Polygon89> DgrMouse, i believe if you just install the "linux source" package, it should download the latest kernel source package that is in the repos, so it should be the same version that you are running
[04:38] <Pelo> g'night folks
[04:38] <Ericc> peace out bro
[04:38] <ziul> i have 2 hd, and i want mount it
[04:38] <ziul> :(
[04:39] <Ericc> fdisk should show you the name of the partition you want to mount
[04:39] <Polygon89> Rode1, ok, so if you dont care for the ext3 one, your just going to format it. So does it not give you the option to change the file system? (cause it is still mounted?)
[04:39] <DgrMouse> Polygon89: i hav selected that one, plus the package with the same version with the ubunbtu patches.  I think that should cover me
[04:39] <Polygon89> DgrMouse, yeah that should work
[04:39] <DgrMouse> thanks
[04:39] <vegar_> by the way blanny.. bonjour still shows as stopped, so I guess it didn't cause any problems
[04:40] <ziul> Ericc: that did not show me the hds i have connected
[04:40] <ziul>  :S
[04:40] <Ericc> usb HD?
[04:40] <Rode1> Polygon89: If i right click i can click on "unmount" and if i do so it unmounts in but then if i click "format to" and "ext2" then click "apply" it gives an error saying its mounted
[04:40] <blanny> ok cool
[04:40] <kinection> I'm getting install errors when doing an 'apt-get install nvidia-glx-legacy', namely 'diversion of ... nvidia-glx-legacy clashes with diversion of ... nvidia-glx-new'. How do i fix this?
[04:40] <ziul> 1 master (where i have ubuntu) and 2 more IDE 2 slave`s
[04:42] <Polygon89> Rode1, ok it should list the drive that you are trying to unmount (like /dev/sdwhatever) so, open a terminal, and try once again a "sudo umount /dev/sdwhatever) and then once that is done, go back to gparted, go to "gparted > refresh devices" and try again
[04:42] <Ericc> well, sorry man.. this is my first week using Ubuntu I'm not too fluent in Linux... but** you need to use the "mount" command for example "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt" would put everything in the /mnt directory
[04:42] <Adam> In Windows XP, how do I sign out of a samba session so I can sign in as a different user?

[04:43] <mzuverink> My notebook is an AMD 64x2 Turion what version of Ubuntu should I install?
[04:44] <Rode1> Polygon89: Same error
[04:44] <dr_willis> mzuverink,  theres NO reason for most people to use the 64bit.. so stuck with the 32bit version
[04:44] <dr_willis> stick :)
[04:44] <Polygon89> Rode1, you say that you have multiple partitions on the same drive. Try using that umount command on all partitions on that hard drive, then try again
[04:45] <mzuverink> dr_willis, have any exp w/ dell mini-lan 1390?  Cant get my moms to work, not matter what guide I follow
[04:45] <dr_willis> mzuverink,  nope. my wireless solution is to run wires
[04:46] <mzuverink> THX
[04:46] <Broccoly> is there a display gamma editor in ubuntu?
[04:46] <dr_willis> mzuverink,  ubuntu is the first disrto (fiesty) that got my laptops wireless working
[04:46] <paroxysm> i am trying to install rmagick on ubuntu 7.04, and i've tried setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable, and adding /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and then running ldconfig, but no matter what i try, i keep getting the following on running make, among a bunch of other errors: /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rmagick-1.15.6/./ext/RMagick/RMagick.so: libMagick.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory - /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rmag

[04:47] <mzuverink> dr_nks thoughwillis, tha
[04:47] <Rode1> Polygon89: It worked! :D Thanks... now i shall try to reinstall
[04:47] <Rode1> be back soon
[04:47] <mzuverink> dr_willis, thanks though
[04:47] <Ericc> I'm looking to build a Tb file server.. anyone have experience in this field and is willing to share it
[04:48] <stevej> Ericc: What's TB?
[04:48] <wangsta> I am trying to play internet chess but any program I use freezes when I try to connect to freechess.org
[04:48] <Ericc> Tb*
[04:48] <j1tters> eric i just build a 4tb machine. its my main workstation also
[04:48] <dr_willis> mzuverink,  Keep an eye out on bargin sales at stores. :) i got a wireless B pcmcia card for $5 once
[04:48] <Ericc> Terabyte
[04:48] <j1tters> er built
[04:49] <stevej> Ericc: Not much there that's spectacular, That's three drives and a little bit of time.
[04:49] <j1tters> either get a good mobo with 2 raid channels on it or a good card.  Run good sata drives. put the os on a seperate drive. .  its a quad core with 4 gig of ram.
[04:49] <Ericc> I'm looking to implement raid
[04:50] <j1tters> get a mobo with raid on board.
[04:50] <Ericc> because I want it to be able to provide lots of bandwidth
[04:50] <Ericc> with Gig-E
[04:50] <j1tters> run 2 500g drives raid 0 (mirrored)
[04:50] <Ericc> and a normal HD, can't provide anywhere near the speed of Gig-E
[04:51] <stevej> Definatly, you want hardware raid, that said, last box I did was software raid, with LVM, 2TB.
[04:51] <Ericc> now why are all the big companies going with smaller HD's in raid as opposed to big ones like 500Tb
[04:51] <j1tters> yeh i dont recommend software raid at all.
[04:51] <j1tters> most are faster drives.  ie 10000 rpm drives. but for anytying your doing at home really overkill.
[04:51] <Ericc> if you look at isohunt.com the guys just bough 38gigs Hd's in larger quantities
[04:52] <codename> Hey guys can any one help me?
[04:52] <j1tters> get wd 500g drives. 16mb buffer i think.
[04:52] <j1tters> run great.
[04:52] <codename> Sometime when I open a program it turns out like this. http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j216/codenamexiii/Screenshot-1-1.png
[04:52] <Ericc> so 10000rpm can provide Gig-E?
[04:52] <juanbond> what's the best way for me to change my hostname on my computer?
[04:52] <j1tters> what are you doing with this machine?
[04:52] <Ericc> FileServer
[04:52] <Ericc> that's all
[04:53] <Ericc> with Gig-E bandwidth
[04:53] <j1tters> you'l never need to touch full gig-e. i cant see any scenario where you would bog down due to drives. what are you serving?
[04:53] <greyfrog> !hostname | juanbond
[04:53] <ubotu> juanbond: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname  and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab
[04:53] <Ericc> I just want to have HD-Content streamed across my home network
[04:53] <stevej> The best you'll get with normal IDE or SATA drives in my experiance is about 35 MB/Sec.
[04:54] <Ericc> + I want to be able to send large files to the server when I download something
[04:54] <j1tters> 2 drives. raid 0. you'll be fine.
[04:54] <juanbond> thanks!!
[04:54] <Ericc> alright 2 drives raid 0 with IDE drives
[04:54] <Ericc> IDE are smaller cables I believe so I'll take those
[04:54] <greyfrog> juanbond: no problem, good luck and have fun
[04:54] <Montaro> i'd go sata just for a little extra speed :p
[04:54] <Ericc> same speed no?
[04:55] <j1tters> oh sorry. yeh. i assumed that was just a given. yeh def sata.
[04:55] <j1tters> forget ide. blah.
[04:55] <Ericc> k
[04:55] <Ericc> now what else would limit the transfer rate
[04:55] <Rode2> Polygon89: you still here?
[04:55] <Ericc> the mo-bo is that something to look at
[04:55] <j1tters> eric the drives are 3g/s drives. you will not bog down. you worry to much.
[04:55] <Polygon89> Rode2, yes
[04:55] <Ericc> because that transfered data from the HD to the Ethernet card
[04:56] <j1tters> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136032
[04:56] <j1tters> there eric. check that link
[04:56] <Gallius> anyone know why when i drag the tahoma font files into fonts:///  it tells me the files already exist even though they arent showing up and i cannot select them as a font option?
[04:56] <Ericc> tux
[04:56] <Ericc> thx*
[04:56] <Montaro> Ericc: I agree with j1tters, that is a nice drive. a very nice drive.
[04:56] <j1tters> no prob :)
[04:57] <Ericc> let me check it out brb
[04:57] <J-_>   is there a way to get the printer to print a PDF from the last page I left off? there's, "all, current, range" as options, I've tried current, and not sure what I should input for range... I want to start where I left off.
[04:57] <j1tters> yeh. huge cache on board. and with raid 0 you'll get a bit diminished write time but you'll make up for it in read which is what you are worried about.
[04:57] <Rode2> Polygon89: i went to try to install onto the ext2 partition but it says "No root file system is defined"
[04:57] <j1tters> brb. smoke break
[04:57] <Ericc>  very nice actually
[04:57] <Ericc> wow.. so 2 of those
[04:57] <Polygon89> Did you make sure that you set the mount point for that filesystem as "/"
[04:57] <Ericc> then a network card
[04:58] <kinection> to get nvidia-legacy working in xorg.conf, is the driver name 'nvidia'? is it diferent from the normal nvidia drivers?
[04:58] <Montaro> j1tters: lol, i agree.. smoke ;)
[04:58] <Ericc> lol, okay smokers peace out
[04:58] <Polygon89> Rode2, did you make sure that you set the mount point for that filesystem as "/" in the install?
[04:58] <crdlb> kinection, it's always nvidia in your xorg.conf
[04:58] <ejack_> J-_: what do you mean..."left off"?
[04:58] <crdlb> for nvidia-glx-legacy, nvidia-glx, and nvidia-glx-new
[04:58] <crdlb> that's why you can only install one
[04:59] <J-_> ejack_: I stopped printing at a page, say 86. I want to go from 87 and so forth.
[04:59] <kinection> crdlb: thanks
[04:59] <Jordan_U> crdlb, Random question, what if you have multiple video cards?
[04:59] <j1tters> much better
[05:00] <Rode2> Polygon89: it had a default of /media/sdb2 switched it adn now it says... that i havent selected a partition for a swap space... so should i create another new partition for that?
[05:00] <crdlb> Jordan_U, that's one of many reasons why proprietary video drivers are terrible
[05:00] <Polygon89> Rode2, yes. To install ubuntu (or any linux distro for that matter) you need two things, a root partiton and a swap partition.
[05:01] <hwilde55> I put in the 7.04 live cd and it just scrolls "/bin/sh: Can't open sed"
[05:01] <bruenig> sed
[05:01] <ejack_> J-_: I don't think that it is possible to do that. Never really looked into it all that much though.
[05:01] <bogdan_mustiata> hello, does anyone know why kde-devel package is broken in feisty?
[05:01] <Polygon89> Rode2, so baiscally yeah you need to edit your partitions to include a swap space.  a good rule of thumb is that your swap partition should be like twice the amount of ram you have (like i have 1gb of ram and a 2gb swap partition).
[05:01] <Jordan_U> hwilde55, Did you do an integrity check of the CD?
[05:02] <bruenig> hwilde55, it is probably a bad burn, I guess during install it uses sed to setup X or something else
[05:02] <bruenig> or a bad dl
[05:02] <Rode2> Polygon89: waht file system should it be?
[05:02] <verna> what do I need to install from synaptic to be able to mount ntfs partitions graphically?
[05:02] <jburd> Hooray.  I just got VCDs working on Ubuntu.
[05:02] <Jordan_U> bogdan_mustiata, Broken in what way, and have you searched for / filed a bug report on launchpad?
[05:02] <Ericc> polygon, I have 2 gigs ram
[05:02] <Ericc> and 500 swap
[05:03] <Polygon89> Rode2, there is a specific option for "swap" or "linux swap"
[05:03] <Jordan_U> veritgo, ntfs-config
[05:03] <Ultima`> What is wrong with this command?  It keeps spitting errors back at me, but all the info in it is correct:  "sudo mount //192.168.123.1/ultima /media/Zephyris/Ultima -t smbfs -o username=ultima,password=******"
[05:03] <bogdan_mustiata> Jordan_U: It's not actually installable for at least some dependency problems, and yes I did filed a bug on launchpad.
[05:03] <jburd> Apparently, for those who are unable to mount VCDs, you can mount it using http://trappist.elis.ugent.be/~mronsse/cdfs/
[05:03] <bruenig> or using mount
[05:03] <hwilde55> Ultima`, mount -t smbfs -o SRC DEST
[05:03] <jburd> CDFS is a filesystem.  mount uses that. @ bruenig
[05:03] <bogdan_mustiata> Jordan_U: since I don't want to wait forever I want to fix it myself. This bug is quite old.
[05:03] <silent_> hey guys, I'm used to righ click dragging stuff to create 'shortcuts'. As far as I understand the linux equivalent is a link. How do I create these links?
[05:03] <Ultima`> hwilde55:  So where do the username and password go?
[05:03] <rage_ext> verna NTFS Configuration Tool
[05:03] <jburd> bruenig, Ubuntu was unable to mount VCDs by itself.
[05:04] <Jordan_U> bogdan_mustiata, Might try #ubuntu-bugs
[05:04] <dr_willis> silent_,  a 'link' is much different from a shortcut. :)
[05:04] <Rode2> Polygon89: should the swap have a mount poit?
[05:04] <hwilde55> !samba | Ultima`
[05:04] <ubotu> Ultima`: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[05:04] <zoltron> how do i make it so the text under my desktop icons is truncated, and does't go over top of the icon underneath?
[05:04] <dr_willis> silent_,  but in many cases they sort of serve the same function
[05:04] <silent_> dr_willis, how can I make a shortcut to a directory?
[05:04] <bruenig> silent_, do you mean a launcher on the desktop for applications or just a link to a directory
[05:04] <Ultima`> sweet
[05:04] <bogdan_mustiata> Jordan_U: thank you.
[05:04] <dr_willis> silent_,  'ln -s whatever whever'
[05:04] <Polygon89> Rode2, yeah there is also an option for "swap"
[05:04] <kurumin> oi
[05:04] <silent_> dr_willis, with the gui
[05:04] <jburd> I think I should report this as a bug.
[05:04] <dr_willis> silent_,  and i always gets them backwards  as for a gui.. no clue. i dont need the gui
[05:04] <bruenig> silent_, I don't believe you can for the gui
[05:05] <jburd> This should be transparent to the user.
[05:05] <silent_> fun
[05:05] <Jordan_U> silent_, Right click, create link
[05:05] <dr_willis> silent_,  i seem to recall the gnome file manager dident have that feature. kde's did.
[05:05] <kurumin> ola alguem fala portugus
[05:05] <dr_willis> or i may be thinking of the drag/drop menus
[05:05] <bruenig> gui gets in the way
[05:05] <silent_> I cant make links on things in / though
[05:05] <Rode2> Polygon89: should the swap partition be part fo the ext2 partition or should it be seperate?
[05:05] <Unievo> hi ppl
[05:05] <Jordan_U> dr_willis, It does now at least
[05:05] <hwilde55> Rode2, separate swap partition.
[05:05] <crdlb> silent_, what are you trying ot do?
[05:05] <crdlb> to*
[05:05] <jburd> The funny part is K3B was able to mount VCDs all by itself.
[05:05] <Unievo> can ktorrent work wit gnome
[05:05] <crdlb> is this part of the 8800 fix?
[05:05] <silent_> I'm trying to create a link to a mount on /smb that will appear on my desktop
[05:05] <Polygon89> Rode2, you need to create a seprate partiton for it
[05:05] <dr_willis> Jordan_U,  guess its too confusing for users. :)
[05:06] <jburd> Unievo, yeah.
[05:06] <Polygon89> Rode2, at the very least, the swap partiton needs to be the exact amount your ram is.
[05:06] <Unievo> k jburd
[05:06] <Jordan_U> dr_willis, I said it *does* have that feature
[05:06] <dr_willis> silent_,   ln -s /home/whoever/desktop/smb /media/themountpoint
[05:06] <xerophyte> which is good openLDAP or Fedora Directory LDAP ?
[05:06] <dr_willis> Jordan_U,  ok :) if you say so.
[05:06] <Polygon89> Rode2, i like to have mine twice the amount of ram that i have, but you need to have at least the same amount as your RAM so you can hibernate right.
[05:06] <silent_> ok, thanks dr_willis
[05:06] <hwilde55> xerophyte, open
[05:06] <Rode2> Polygon89: it wont let me check the box for the swap partition
[05:06] <dr_willis> i use mc for my main filemanager :) im old-skool
[05:07] <hwilde55> Rode2, did you create a linux swap partition?
[05:07] <dr_willis> silent_,  that command may have the arguments backwards.. i always gets it backwards
[05:07] <xerophyte> hwilde55, why is that i mean fedora Directory comes with few nice features just wondering why do you prepare openLDAP
[05:07] <hwilde55> xerophyte, bc i dont use fedora
[05:07] <Ultima`> hwilde55:  Do I need to create a folder in /media before it will mount there, or can I just add the stuff into fstab and it will create the folders as it needs it?
[05:07] <Rode2> hwilde55: i created a swap partition
[05:07] <Polygon89> Rode2, yeah did you go back to the editing partitions stage of installing and resize your ext2 partition and created a swap partitiomn?
[05:07] <hwilde55> Ultima`, i create folder myself
[05:07] <priich> can't he just select the source directory, right click for context menu and click select link. then he can move the new link to wherever he wants.
[05:07] <xerophyte> hwilde55, you don't need fedora to use fedora Directory
[05:07] <Jordan_U> Ultima`, You need to add it yourself
[05:08] <Ultima`> Good to know
[05:08] <dr_willis> priich,  i seem to recall issues doing that in the past.
[05:08] <Polygon89> Rode2, ok, so in the mountpoint section, then you should be able to set the swap partition's mount point as "swap"
[05:08] <dr_willis> priich,  they mey of been fixed by now :)
[05:08] <Rode2> Polygon89: didnt have to resize the ext2 i left a bit of free space because i recalled seeing other extra stuff and wanted to make sure i had room for it
[05:09] <Ericc> does anyone know the postfix command to regenerate a .db file?
[05:09] <Rode2> Polygon89: it has teh mount point frozen as nothing
[05:09] <hwilde55> I put in the 7.04 live cd and it just scrolls "/bin/sh: Can't open sed".  i checked cd for defects and its ok, and it runs on another computer
[05:09] <Polygon89> Rode2, ok, is it greyed out and does it say swap?
[05:09] <priich> dr_willis: hehe wouldn't know about that. If someone could make a nice framebuffer webbrowser i'd be ditching X faster than umm Ben Johnsson on steroids.
[05:09] <vbabiy> hey what could cause this http://pastebin.co.uk/15535
[05:09] <Rode2> Polygon89: the file system says swap but the mount point is blank
[05:09] <ries> Hey guys, in teh filebrowser I see my network shares
[05:10] <ries> I can browser the remote SMB file system... but how does it get mounted?
[05:10] <silent_> dr_willis, do I need to create a file to be the link or will ln create the file? I'm getting a 'file does not exist' error
[05:10] <kb_> Is the .ch archive ok?  I
[05:10] <Polygon89> Rode2, hmm. it might just assume that the mount point is going to be swap, try continuing with the installation and see if it yells about a swap partition
[05:10] <rocker68> hello guys
[05:10] <rocker68> and girls
[05:10] <dr_willis> silent_,  yoyu proberly got it backwards then.. practice with some with the command
[05:10] <hwilde55> vbabiy, it is looking to resolve that ip to a hostname on your domain that's all
[05:10] <ries> I also don't see a mount button somewhere
[05:10] <kb_> .. I can't connect to it, as far as I can tell, from a machine that has working network access.
[05:10] <vbabiy> hwilde55: well that explains it i still got a few error with my dns
[05:11] <codename> May I ask a question?
[05:11] <priich> silent_ sounds like you confused the place of source and target in the command.
[05:11] <Rode2> Polygon89: hmm guess i shoulda tried that earlier >.< i guess as logn as i have hte swap partition existing its ok
[05:11] <hwilde55> vbabiy, it is not a failure error just a warning - u can still login
[05:11] <Royce> athlon 64 is backwards compatable for x86 processors, is there something else that might cause my installation to keep crashing
[05:11] <vbabiy> hwilde55: yeah
[05:11] <vbabiy> i know i just a few problem with dns still i got to fix
[05:11] <Rode2> Alright, im gonna get off here so it can install... or try to... be back soonish
[05:12] <Ultima`> How does Ubuntu handle the network not being immediately available on boot with network drives in the fstab?  LIke, for example, my computer is on a wireless card and it takes ~5 sec after my login for it to actually connect
[05:12] <Polygon89> Rode2, k
[05:12] <zabin> royce: is the cd scratched?
[05:12] <zabin> Royce: how does it fail?
[05:12] <Royce> I cant even get to installation, i choose install and it looks like its about to run gnome but just freezes
[05:12] <zevo> lol
[05:13] <zabin> Royce: Does the cd look scratched, perhaps a bad burn.?
[05:13] <hwilde55> I put in the 7.04 live cd and it just scrolls "/bin/sh: Can't open sed".  i checked cd for defects and its ok, and it runs on another computer
[05:13] <ries> can I mount any directories from the file browser or is it just for looking at files?
[05:13] <ries> when I run mount from the command line I don't see the share mounted
[05:13] <hwilde55> !mount | ries

[05:13] <zabin> Royce: it should work im betting that it is the CD for Sure. :-)
[05:13] <Royce> ive burnt it twice and did a hash check, so unless its my burner i dont thing so
[05:14] <kb_> I'd like to install python-pygame, but in trying to do so, I get a message saying "The following packages cannot be authenticated".  Googling suggests that I should run apt-get install debian-archive-keyring, but attempting to do so hangs attempting to download it.  Any suggestions on how I can get this to work?
[05:14] <ries> hwilde55: I know how to mount it myself, but I want to do it from teh desktop
[05:14] <zabin> Royce: can you try it on another computer but dont accutally install?
[05:14] <hwilde55> !DiskMounter  | ries
[05:14] <ubotu> ries: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - See also !fuse
[05:14] <ries> hwilde55: so I can use the mount from other mountpount from other programes
[05:14] <zabin> ubotu
[05:14] <zabin> hello ubotu
[05:15] <Royce> zabin: it would be a bigger hassle than burning another CD

[05:15] <r00tintheb0x> whats goin on
[05:15] <rocker68> hello channel I need some help with dual booting ubuntu
[05:15] <hwilde55> !dualboot | rocker68

[05:15] <ries> ubotu: are you saying I cannot mount any shares from my desktop?
[05:15] <r00tintheb0x> oka rocker68 what is your question?
[05:15] <rocker68> I have just installed  ver 7.04 on my laptop
[05:15] <zabin> Royce: i'm not sure if its just freezing on you and actually is able to boot the kernel.
[05:15] <ries> and I do really need to  go to the command line to mount a share?
[05:16] <zabin> Royce: you could install from the terminal
[05:16] <hwilde55> ries did you even look at the links from ubotu??
[05:16] <hwilde55> !mount | ries
[05:16] <zabin> you just use the install comand
[05:16] <ubotu> ries: Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[05:16] <rocker68> I am a total newbie to linux but I am trying to set up a dual boot of ubuntu and backtrack
[05:16] <Royce> i see it initialize the kernal and it looks just like the gnome gui is about to pop up, but then freezes
[05:16] <ries> hwilde55: I don't get any links from ubotu
[05:16] <rocker68> when I set up my partition for unbuntu I left 10gb free
[05:16] <hwilde55> I can see it plainly///
[05:17] <hwilde55> !mount > ries
[05:17] <hwilde55> !mount | ries
[05:17] <ubotu> ries: Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[05:17] <ries> hwilde55: Oo do you mean : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions ???
[05:17] <r00tintheb0x> rocker68 if you dont have two partitions, let Ubuntu use the existing free space on your windows partition.
[05:17] <r00tintheb0x> It'll use a precentage of your total space.
[05:17] <r00tintheb0x> free space, that is.
[05:17] <Royce> im going to check the hash and burn another copy, and try again.
[05:18] <ries> hwilde55: why does it need to be so complicated??? I just need a right click -> mount this share option
[05:18] <rocker68> ubuntu is already installed
[05:18] <Ultima`> hwilde55:  I did the commands, copy and paste, from the site that ubotu gave me, and I'm still having problems doing my network mount, it's still popping up an error
[05:18] <rocker68> I have installed backtrack on a usb flash drive
[05:18] <hwilde55> ries, go to Places -> Connect to Server  and it will put an icon on your dekstop.
[05:18] <rocker68> but I want to install it on the ubuntu pc
[05:18] <hwilde55> Ultima`, what is the command and the error please
[05:19] <ries> hwilde55: thanks...let me take a look, I was in teh file browser...
[05:19] <rocker68> how do I set that up for a dual boot configuration
[05:19] <bobsumone>  is there a way to launch into kde or gnome on Ubuntu Server edition or is that not installed?
[05:19] <Ultima`> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //zephyris/dragoon,
[05:19] <Ultima`>        missing codepage or other error
[05:19] <hwilde55> !kubuntu | bobslaede
[05:19] <ubotu> bobslaede: Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE

[05:19] <ubotu> bobsumone: Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE
[05:20] <hwilde55> Ultima`, try Places -> Connect to Server to see if the share is valid
[05:20] <bobsumone>  hwilde55: I don't need KDE per say
[05:20] <bobsumone>  I just wanted to know if there is a way to get into a desktop mode
[05:20] <hwilde55> bobsumone, well on server edition there is no window manager installed
[05:20] <Ericc> The Senators are going to take it home
[05:20] <bobsumone>  as i figured
[05:20] <Ultima`> hwilde55:  I see the shares there, along with the administrative shares, and I can access it that way, but since I access it often that method is slow and I want a perminant mount  :(
[05:20] <hwilde55> bobsumone, I guess you would have to apt-get install gnome  etc
[05:21] <bobsumone>  nah
[05:21] <bobsumone>  ill just keep truckin along
[05:21] <hwilde55> Ultima`, ok well it sounds like it is the wrong fs type
[05:21] <bobsumone>  I need to refresh my command line
[05:21] <pmcdonnell> Hi - I have a laptop with a VGA port.  Is it possible to run a dual-monitor setup?
[05:21] <bobsumone>  I havent used linux since Red Hat 7
[05:21] <mindframe> whats good av software to use in ubuntu?
[05:21] <Ultima`> what should it be, it is a windows network share
[05:21] <Ericc> linux doesn't really need AV software
[05:21] <GenNMX> pmcdonnell: If the drivers support it, sure. Check the documentation for your video drivers.
[05:22] <hwilde55> Ultima`, try "findsmb" command
[05:22] <crdlb> pmcdonnell, what video card?
[05:22] <pmcdonnell> GenNMX, ok, I'll look into that - but its, in theory, supported by X?
[05:22] <Ultima`> in the fstab file?
[05:22] <ries> hwilde55: it does put a icon on the desktop Hurraaay... but where does it get mounted???
[05:22] <Ericc> how do you edit the startup script?
[05:22] <pmcdonnell> crdlb, "Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900"
[05:22] <hwilde55> ries, right click on the icon and look at the properties
[05:22] <ries> with just a a icon and a file browser I still cannot access my files from a other application
[05:23] <crdlb> pmcdonnell, you should be able to do it with either xinerama or mergedfb
[05:23] <pmcdonnell> crdlb, ok, I'll look into it - thanks
[05:23] <GenNMX> pmcdonnell: X has two versions of dual monitor support -- support from the driver (dual-head) and support from Xinerama. With Xinerama, you can even use multiple video cards. But it's best to use the support from your drivers if it has it, as that will most likely give DRI support (make it faster).

[05:23] <ubotu> pmcdonnell: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama
[05:24] <ries> hwilde55: When I look with properties it doesn't show me a mountpount, also with the mount command I don't see a mountpoint
[05:24] <ries> it's just a icon on the desktop
[05:24] <hwilde55> ries, cmon figure it out alreaddddy
[05:24] <pmcdonnell> GenNMX, I see - I'll look for some info
[05:24] <pmcdonnell> hwilde55, thanks for the pointer
[05:24] <ries> and no way I can access any files from the my application
[05:24] <Ultima`> hwilde55:  findsmb doesn't find my vista machine, but it finds 2 other machines on the 'net
[05:24] <_3oo3> how can i turn my ubuntu into debian?
[05:24] <hwilde55> Ultima`, lol did you say vista
[05:25] <j1tters> why dont you just install debian then 3003
[05:25] <bartosz> hey can anyone here help me set my dvd plaback?
[05:25] <bartosz> please
[05:25] <ries> hwilde55: well, when I look with cinelerra, and try to open a movie clip, I need a mountpoint...
[05:25] <hwilde55> !dvd | bartosz
[05:25] <ubotu> bartosz: 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
[05:25] <ries> it's just not there
[05:25] <_3oo3> j1tters: because i need to keep my files
[05:25] <Ultima`> hwilde55:  Yes, unfortunately I did say vista.  That's why I'm in this channel  ;)
[05:25] <j1tters> can you back them up?
[05:25] <_3oo3> i just want to remove the part of ubuntu that makes it ubuntu so i can have a pure debian system without reinstalling
[05:26] <j1tters> no clue. sorry.
[05:26] <_3oo3> j1tters: afraid i cant
[05:26] <_3oo3> does anyone know how to do this?
[05:26] <dr_willis> _3oo3,  not sure thats doable
[05:27] <Adam> Is there a way to see all user names and their groups, logged in or not?
[05:27] <_3oo3> how cume?
[05:27] <host`> I'm having a major problem
[05:27] <host`> at least it's major to me
[05:27] <Pelo> host`, state your problem
[05:27] <dr_willis> _3oo3,  because its a totally different disrto in about every package. :)
[05:27] <_3oo3> Adam: cat /etc/group
[05:27] <host`> I tried the distro upgrade and now I can't get into X with kernel I was installing it from, I can't even get into recovery mode with the kernel I was installing it from
[05:28] <Pelo> can someone with Feisty check if they have this file on their hdd ?  /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-storage-policy.fdi
[05:28] <host`> I got into recovery mode with this old kernel, but I can't start X with it
[05:28] <_3oo3> dr_willis: no, same base system
[05:28] <dr_willis> _3oo3,  with retweaked and recompiled and dozens of other differances...
[05:28] <Pelo> host`, try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  it might fix your X
[05:29] <_3oo3> dr_willis: debian kernel with the name ubuntu stickered over it
[05:29] <j1tters> yes i have that file Pelo
[05:29] <dr_willis> _3oo3,   go forit then.. i dont bet on you having much success
[05:29] <Pelo> j1tters,  are you fully upgraded ?
[05:29] <j1tters> yessir i am
[05:29] <bartosz> how to i kill a terminal process?
[05:29] <_3oo3> dr_willis: how cum?
[05:29] <jcboi> good day, i need help
[05:29] <kinection> although it seems like even though nvidia-glx-legacy is installed, X server fails to start with complains of nvidia.ko not being found
[05:29] <Pelo> j1tters, can you dcc it to me ?
[05:29] <dr_willis> _3oo3,  becasue of all the differances i am refering to.

[05:29] <kinection> can anybody help me here?
[05:29] <Unievo> hi
[05:29] <_3oo3> dr_willis: i noticed you didn't give any

[05:30] <host`> Pelo: it said it's broken or not fully installed
[05:30] <Unievo> im installing ktorrent on gnome and i get this erorr:configure: error: The important program kde-config was not found!
[05:30] <Unievo> Please check whether you installed KDE correctly.
[05:30] <Unievo> how can i fix that
[05:30] <host`> Pelo: I use the geforce driver too, I'm not sure if that makes a difference
[05:31] <Pelo> host`, I whish I new how you can instal it from the command line,   maybe try   sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg
[05:31] <dr_willis> _3oo3,  with your logic you should be able to use all debian packages on ubuntu.. and thats also asking for problems.
[05:31] <Pelo> j1tters, thanks
[05:31] <_3oo3> dr_willis: that's a strange response...i was asking about those differences you were talking so knowledgably about
[05:32] <host`> Pelo: I'm running dpkg --configure -a
[05:32] <bluefox83> is there a tutorial for amarok to use mysql?
[05:32] <host`> it said to do that when I ran the last command you suggested
[05:32] <j1tters> no prob pelo glad to help
[05:32] <Unievo> ktorrent is not working wit gnome
[05:32] <Pelo> host`,  best o f luck
[05:32] <Adam> How do I find out what group I'm in?
[05:32] <dr_willis> _3oo3,  patches allover the place.. differnt init system..  differnt filesystem layout..    ive seen this discussion befor in here. and it dident have any easy fix like you are wanting to find.
[05:32] <Cryoniq> Hi folks :)
[05:32] <Royce> think i might need to download the alternate text based installer rather than the live cd?
[05:32] <host`> Pelo: I had been having some problems with X restarting on me, maybe it restart in the middle of the upgrade and the process just halted
[05:33] <ries> shall I just use the command line to mount a share???
[05:33] <ries> since from the desktop it simply doesn't work
[05:33] <Cryoniq> I have a samba issue on Kubuntu 7.04. Anyone feel they are smb mount expert? =)
[05:33] <Cryoniq> my bad.. ill describe the problem instead..
[05:33] <Pelo> host`,  you,re not the first,  the upgrade process is not 10% reliable
[05:33] <bluefox83> Cryoniq, try #kubuntu
[05:33] <Cryoniq> Oooh.. thanks.. :)
[05:33] <Trynemjoel> I'm having a problem getting Java to show up in my plugins overview in Firefox. I've installed the latest java in /usr/java/, but when i do ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_01/plugin/i386/ns7-gcc29/libjavaplugin_oji.so ./libjavaplugin_oji.so as shown in the Java FAQ firefox crashes on startup. Can anyone help with this?
[05:33] <Pelo> Cryoniq,  there is a #samba
[05:34] <Cryoniq> even better :)
[05:34] <Cryoniq> Thanks :)
[05:34] <_3oo3> dr_willis: what patches, and for what part of the os?  and the init system:  it uses different runlevels?  that's absurd to suggest.  the filesystem is still reiser or ext, unless you were talking about the directory structure, which is identical to debians.
[05:34] <_3oo3> im just not sure what you're trying to say.
[05:34] <dr_willis> _3oo3,  ubuntu now uses that upstart system for its rc stuff.
[05:35] <Royce> the installer keeps crashing, should i try getting the alt text based installer?
[05:35] <Pelo> Royce,  you can also try prepartitionning , that sometimes helps
[05:35] <ries> hey guys, is it really not possible to simply mount a SMB share using smbfs or something?
[05:35] <BrokenCrystal_> does the live cd boot royce?
[05:35] <Royce> no
[05:35] <Deathshead> hi there could somone help me out real quick?
[05:35] <ries> do I really need to browse through lines of script code to do something as simple as that?
[05:36] <Royce> well..
[05:36] <BrokenCrystal_> just a sec...
[05:36] <_3oo3> ok.  that's an addon, but that's a peripheral addition to the os...the core is the same....so it would be possible to revert that....so, so far we have one directory that would need changed by your say..
[05:36] <Pelo> Deathshead,  maybe if you asked a question
[05:36] <kornerr> hi

[05:37] <kornerr> can i install nvidia drvs not from deb package, but manually compiling it? will i be able then to run compiz?
[05:37] <jcboi> anyone can help me?
[05:37] <_3oo3> can someone tell me what would be required to revert an ubuntu system to pure debian?
[05:37] <kornerr> lol
[05:37] <jcboi> i need help with removable harddisk
[05:37] <Pelo> Trynemjoel, check in synaptic,  do a search for sun-java and make sure the pluggin package and the bin package are also installed,  and you can try reinstallling all of the sun-java6 packages, that might help
[05:37] <Deathshead> ok, i have a laptop with feisty,a desktop with XP, both on a webstar modem/router.. laptop usb-desktop ethernet.. both work fine online but i cant see my windows shared in ubuntu.
[05:37] <dr_willis> _3oo3,  perhaps a few releases ago it may been doable.. at this time.. i doubt it.  Good luck in trying to do it. if ya do - write up a ubuntu wiki page on it. I cant seem to find any docs on it one way or the other.
[05:38] <Pelo> Deathshead,  did you configure samba to communicate with your windows machine ?
[05:38] <dr_willis> _3oo3,  i do recall ages ago some script/tool that converted various disrtos to Debian. But cant rember its name
[05:38] <peanutb> Is the Ralink wifi driver included in 7.04?
[05:38] <Pelo> Deathshead, are we talking about a windows partiton or a windows machine ? , sorry I'm not reading you properly
[05:38] <ries> alright, something else
[05:39] <ries> How do I set a screen resolution, it only goes up to 1024x768, and I have 1440x900
[05:39] <Deathshead> i tried to, but not too much info on the config..from scratch.
[05:39] <Unievo> can anyone help me little ?
[05:39] <_3oo3> dr_willis: but according to you there's only one directory that is different
[05:39] <jcboi> i need help: i have a removable hdd which i have installed ubuntu on and want my comps to boot ubuntu when i connect my hdd to any of them.i boot up with one comp of mine and receive a ntrdl missing error.... please help me!
[05:39] <Pelo> btb I need to restart X
[05:39] <BrokenCrystal_> try F6, then type nolcpi
[05:39] <BrokenCrystal_> at the end of the text, then hit enter to boot
[05:39] <BrokenCrystal_> see if that helps
[05:40] <kornerr> can i install nVIDIA drvs not from deb package, but manually compiling it? will i be able then to run compiz?
[05:40] <Geeerd> I have installed Beryl and now when i maximize or minimize my windo, it becomes black
[05:40] <Deathshead> i know, public = yes etc... But when i first install it do i kill all the default stuff in the smb.conf or just edit whats there?
[05:40] <jcboi> i need help: i have a removable hdd which i have installed ubuntu on and want my comps to boot ubuntu when i connect my hdd to any of them.i boot up with one comp of mine and receive a ntrdl missing error.... please help me!
[05:40] <Unievo> im getting error installing ktorrent on gnome
[05:40] <lnx> hey.  i need to install a .rpm file
[05:40] <BrokenCrystal_> what did you install beryl from
[05:40] <dr_willis> _3oo3,  you asked for an example.. and it just sounds like you are trolling now. so good luck.
[05:40] <BrokenCrystal_> what repos
[05:40] <lnx> how do i do it?
[05:40] <lnx> How do I install a .rpm file?
[05:40] <Pelo> Unievo, are you installing from repos ?
[05:41] <bruenig> jcboi, you need to install grub on the mbr of that one that is giving you the error
[05:41] <bruenig> lnx, you don't, find a deb or compile
[05:41] <_3oo3> dr_willis: no, I was seeing if you knew what you were talking about at all....i try to have the benefit of the doubt...i may have been wrong :)
[05:41] <Ultima`> ugh, it's always the simple things, smbfs mount failed because smbfs wasn't installed...good god
[05:41] <Unievo> no soucre code
[05:41] <Geeerd> I just installed from one of the default repos configured
[05:41] <greyfrog> !alien | lnx
[05:41] <ubotu> lnx: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[05:41] <Pelo> lnx,  don'T install rpm files in ubuntu,  get a deb or compile from source
[05:41] <bruenig> Unievo, what is the program
[05:41] <Unievo> ktorrent
[05:41] <lnx> ok i want to install the new winamp but it's a .pm
[05:41] <lnx> .rpm
[05:41] <bruenig> !info ktorrent
[05:41] <Pelo> Unievo, ktorrent is in the repos,  install from there
[05:41] <ubotu> ktorrent: BitTorrent client for KDE. In component main, is None. Version 2.1-0ubuntu2.1 (feisty), package size 2347 kB, installed size 8852 kB
[05:41] <bruenig> Unievo, sudo apt-get install ktorrent
[05:41] <BrokenCrystal_> the repos in ubuntu, from automatix, or from the beryl website?
[05:42] <bruenig> !automatix | BrokenCrystal_
[05:42] <ubotu> BrokenCrystal_: Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[05:42] <BrokenCrystal_> what distro are you running
[05:42] <Pelo> lnx,  you'll need to install alien to convert the rpm to a deb and install from that
[05:42] <Unievo> but that doest work wit d .deb package
[05:42] <jcboi> bruenig, can i chat with you via private conversation on irc?
[05:42] <bruenig> Unievo, english
[05:42] <dr_willis> _3oo3,  the amazing thing is im googling on that topic and alli am finding is debian vs ubuntu flamewars
[05:42] <bruenig> !pm
[05:42] <ubotu> Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude.
[05:42] <Geeerd> ubuntu!
[05:42] <Unievo> sorry
[05:42] <lnx> ok alien huh
[05:42] <silent_> Question: What kind of bear is best?
[05:42] <Deathshead> smbfs is installed..
[05:42] <lnx> thanks guys
[05:42] <kornerr> can i install nVIDIA drvs not from deb package, but manually compiling it? will i be able then to run compiz?
[05:42] <BrokenCrystal_> ok
[05:43] <silent_> wrong: Black bear
[05:43] <bruenig> kornerr, ask in #ubuntu-effects
[05:43] <jcboi> erm, ok
[05:43] <kornerr> thanks
[05:43] <silent_> Fact: bears eat beets
[05:43] <dr_willis> _3oo3,  i cant even find the name of the 'convert disrto to debian' script i tested out 4 years ago
[05:43] <Unievo> the apt-get install command doesnt work
[05:43] <BrokenCrystal_> are you launching it with beryl-manager, or just beryl
[05:43] <Pelo> Unievo,  sudo apt-get install ktorrent
[05:43] <bruenig> Unievo, what does it say
[05:43] <Geeerd> beryl-manager
[05:43] <Unievo> hold on
[05:43] <zafer> how do i install azureus and get it to run?
[05:43] <jcboi> i have two comps,one laptop and another is a desktop
[05:44] <BrokenCrystal_> try rebooting and just launching beryl and emerald, from terminals without beryl-manager
[05:44] <Pelo> zafer, sudo apt-get install azureus  , as for getting it to run ask in #azureus-support
[05:44] <_3oo3> dr_willis: it's understandable.  The debian guys approach it all wrong.  You can't tell them WHY you want to revert ubuntu to debian, they should just be asking how to do it.  It's like saying to a sammich shop owner "hey your chili sucks, and ruined my hot dog, but im really hungry, do you have a napkin to wipe it off, please?'.  You just ask for the napkin.  Ya know?
[05:44] <dr_willis> _3oo3,  guessya could use debootstrap - but thats bascially installing debian from  the start.
[05:44] <bruenig> zafer, theoretically sudo apt-get install azureus and then launch it from the menus, I have found that there are permission errors that occur when you do that, I would get it from the azureus website
[05:44] <BrokenCrystal_> also, could try installing heliodor and using that to see if it makes a diff
[05:44] <jcboi> i installed on a usb hdd with the laptop and now my laptop cannot boot without the usb hdd
[05:44] <jcboi> what should i do?
[05:44] <Geeerd> what is heliodor?
[05:44] <Pelo> !grub > jcboi check  pm for a msg from ubotu about reinstalling grub
[05:45] <wheels3572> Is pidgin in the repos yet?
[05:45] <BrokenCrystal_> it is like emerald, for beryl, but uses ubuntus window border themes
[05:45] <Pelo> wheels3572, check
[05:45] <greyfrog> wheels3572: not feisty
[05:45] <wheels3572> greyfrog, ty for the answer
[05:45] <BrokenCrystal_> instead of emeralds borders
[05:45] <Pelo> can ppl take the beryl talk to #beryl
[05:45] <Trynemjoel> Synaptic installasion did the trick, thanks Pelo and bruenig for your response

[05:48] <Unievo> ktorrent install successfully thanx Unievo, bruenig
[05:48] <Geeerd> ok thanks a lot
[05:48] <_3oo3> has anyone noticed that slackware linux is faster and easier to setup than ubuntu?  it has more support for hardware and less bugs/reported exploits than ubuntu by several fold.
[05:48] <BrokenCrystal_> np
[05:48] <Geeerd> sudo apt-get install heliodor
[05:49] <Pelo> zafer, get deluge  freom www.deluge-torrent.org , it's a deb file easiest to deal with
[05:49] <Geeerd> oops
[05:49] <BrokenCrystal_> yep
[05:49] <codename> Hey Pelo, is that a sign of the Driver problems?

[05:49] <BrokenCrystal_> make sure your repose are enabled...
[05:49] <Pelo> codename, looks like it to me
[05:49] <jcboi> is it possible to get windows boot loader to display ubuntu when i pluggin my hdd?
[05:49] <codename> Yeah sometimes when I open and close a program it does it
[05:49] <Pelo> codename, ether that or you have a readly bad wallpaper

[05:49] <codename> LOL
[05:49] <john_watson> Who can tell how to see youtube's movie in 64bit ubuntu?
[05:49] <codename> naaa
[05:50] <jcboi> is it possible to get windows boot loader to display ubuntu when i pluggin my hdd?
[05:50] <_3oo3> it's also an older distro that has a large community of developers, but the distro inclusions are picked with a higher mind for usability.
[05:50] <bruenig> !chroot | john_watson
[05:50] <ubotu> john_watson: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box
[05:50] <Mariela> hello dude: how i can see the version of ati propietary driver installed on my sistem? is recomended to download an instal manually the last driver on ati.com or when are actualizations avaliable it advise me automatically and update it?
[05:50] <dr_willis> _3oo3,  now you are just getting boreing..
[05:50] <ries> the make link command doesn't work in the file explorer
[05:50] <Pelo> john_watson,  you can'T there is no flash for the 64 bit
[05:50] <samlet> hello
[05:50] <lifepe> who modify /boot/grub/menu.lst ??????
[05:50] <BrokenCrystal_> there is a wrapper for flash
[05:50] <codename> Hey Pelo can I PM you for like 1 sec, so I can send you my GLXINFO?
[05:51] <BrokenCrystal_> like ndiswrapper for drivers, but its a wrapper for plugins
[05:51] <Trynemjoel> lifepe, do it in superuser mode (sudo)
[05:51] <john_watson> i can use flash9 in 64bit ,but the moive embed in web like youtube can't see....
[05:51] <sbw2004> how do you modify your x.org config file (if you could pm me)
[05:51] <BrokenCrystal_> cant remember what its called
[05:51] <Pelo> codename,  no, you cannot,  I will not allow it , and I wouldn't know what to look for in a glxinfo file anyway
[05:51] <_3oo3> dr_willis: dont take my word for it.  check it out on http://slackware.org
[05:51] <ziroday> who here has got urban terror working?
[05:51] <jcboi> hi all
[05:51] <Comrade-Sergei> whats the command to defrag my hdd?
[05:51] <dr_willis> _3oo3,  i use the slax live cd all the time.
[05:51] <codename> ok sorry
[05:51] <BrokenCrystal_> pluginwrapper
[05:51] <jcboi> sorry, i have to repeat my question again:
[05:51] <BrokenCrystal_> or something like that
[05:51] <bruenig> john_watson, you shouldn't be able to use flash 9 unless you did some hacking around with 32 bit libs and what not, if you did do that make sure you have javascript enabled
[05:51] <Pelo> Comrade-Sergei, you don'T need to defrag in ext3
[05:51] <_3oo3> dr_willis: not the same.  slax is based on slackware.  most high performance os's are.
[05:51] <Comrade-Sergei> Pelo why not?
[05:52] <jared> I am using the nVidia restricted drivers, but I can not find the nVidia configuration application listed in any of the Gnome menus. How do I access it?
[05:52] <john_watson> i'm sure i can use flash 9 in 64bit
[05:52] <_3oo3> knoppix was as well at one point.  there's a reason for that.
[05:52] <lifepe> Trynemjoel "sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" no permissions
[05:52] <BrokenCrystal_> john watson
[05:52] <bruenig> _3oo3, arch is by far better than slackware, it isn't even close
[05:52] <Comrade-Sergei> Pelo i know ntfs and fat not so much about ext3
[05:52] <Pelo> Comrade-Sergei, because ext3 does not fragment like  fat32 or fat16 did ,
[05:52] <BrokenCrystal_> you can, if you use the wrapper
[05:52] <john_watson> but only can't see movie embed in web like youtube
[05:52] <dr_willis> we all know BeOS is the best
[05:52] <Comrade-Sergei> Pelo but hard drive structure would make any fs do it? wont it
[05:53] <BrokenCrystal_> do a search on google for a linux plugin wrapper for flash
[05:53] <Pelo> Comrade-Sergei, fyi ntfs doesn,t need much defrag either
[05:53] <sbw2004> anyone want to tell me how to edit my x.org conf file (X server problem when booting)
[05:53] <jcboi> i have two comps and this is what i want to:laptop-remove grub and allow proper windows loading.   desktop-getting system to ask me which to load when i plug in my usb harddisk... thanks
[05:53] <john_watson> no plugin for 64bit
[05:53] <Pelo> Comrade-Sergei, no it gets fixed as it goes
[05:53] <bruenig> john_watson, don't repeat, how did you install flash if you are certain it is there
[05:53] <BrokenCrystal_> not that I know of...  none for 64 or powerpc
[05:53] <BrokenCrystal_> have to use a wrapper
[05:53] <_3oo3> bruenig: arch is small and doesn't come out of the box.  it also has a less informed user community, but not as bad as ubuntu's.
[05:53] <Pelo> sbw2004,  sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:53] <Comrade-Sergei> Pelo wow cool~!
[05:53] <john_watson> just follow these steps,write it down:
[05:53] <Comrade-Sergei> ok thanks Pelo
[05:54] <bruenig> _3oo3, less informed? you must be crazy, you have to install it all from bare bones
[05:54] <bruenig> how can they possible be uninformed
[05:54] <bruenig> possibly*
[05:54] <Mr_Awesome> is there any way to add stuff to the menus in desktop toolbar?
[05:54] <hard_gay> _3oo3: i run arch on laptop and @ work
[05:54] <john_watson> 1. sudo apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk linux32 lib32asound2
[05:54] <BrokenCrystal_> that is why i am still running x86
[05:54] <jcboi> i have two comps and this is what i want to:laptop-remove grub and allow proper windows loading.   desktop-getting system to ask me which to load when i plug in my usb harddisk... thanks
[05:54] <_3oo3> hard_gay: well, it could be worse.
[05:54] <bruenig> hard_gay, what DE?
[05:55] <hard_gay> pekwm
[05:55] <john_watson> 2. add the respository and update the sources list: http://www.janvitus.netsons.org/repository/
[05:55] <john_watson> sudo apt-get install nspluginwrapper gsfonts-x11
[05:55] <bruenig> john_watson, stop that
[05:55] <john_watson> what?
[05:55] <_3oo3> bruenig: anyway, arch isn't really supportable....it's got its purpose, though.
[05:55] <Geeerd> BrokernCrystal_ i installed heliodor, now what shud i do?
[05:55] <bruenig> supportable? it has the best package management that exists
[05:55] <bruenig> it is rock solid, rolling release
[05:55] <BrokenCrystal_> yea, thats it
[05:56] <bruenig> what else do you want
[05:56] <_3oo3> bruenig: if you say so.
[05:56] <_3oo3> at least you're not using ubuntu
[05:56] <bruenig> pacman is amazing
[05:56] <_3oo3> i heard it is
[05:56] <jcboi> please... anyone... i know i am a bit annoying
[05:56] <_3oo3> i was actually going to see if there was a slackbuild for it
[05:56] <hard_gay> uhm, pacman just hit 3
[05:56] <BrokenCrystal_> run beryl-manager and tell it to use heliodor instead of emerald
[05:56] <Geeerd> But i am still getting the same error
[05:56] <BrokenCrystal_> its in the menu
[05:56] <bruenig> I used zenwalk so I am familiar with slack, it is a bit disorganized and package management is bad
[05:57] <Geeerd> where do i do that?
[05:57] <_3oo3> bruenig: zenwalk is not slackware
[05:57] <BrokenCrystal_> from your tray
[05:57] <bruenig> same thing
[05:57] <_3oo3> no, it really isn't
[05:57] <BrokenCrystal_> right click on the menu
[05:57] <bruenig> pretty much
[05:57] <_3oo3> no.  not really.
[05:57] <jcboi> i have two comps and this is what i want to:laptop-remove grub and allow proper windows loading.   desktop-getting system to ask me which to load when i plug in my usb harddisk... thanks... i am a noob... can anyone give em a step by step help?
[05:57] <BrokenCrystal_> in the corner of gnome
[05:57] <bruenig> better package managment on ZW is the only difference
[05:57] <jcboi> !grub
[05:57] <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
[05:58] <jcboi> i have two comps and this is what i want to:laptop-remove grub and allow proper windows loading.   desktop-getting system to ask me which to load when i plug in my usb harddisk... thanks... i am a noob... can anyone give em a step by step help?
[05:58] <Geeerd> yeah , i saw that , but which one shud i select , in the window manager section i can see only Beryl,compiz and metacity
[05:58] <_3oo3> bruenig: the package sets are the main difference...the base system is a bit different...they tried to get funky with system maintenance commands
[05:58] <Geeerd> ok, found it
[05:58] <BrokenCrystal_> use metacity until you get heliodor selected
[05:59] <BrokenCrystal_> then switch to beryl
[05:59] <_3oo3> slackware is designed to build apps from source.
[05:59] <_3oo3> which, if youre using a linux system for the right reasons, is what you want
[05:59] <BrokenCrystal_> good
[05:59] <quaal> how do i open this http://fighters.scrapping.cc:4999/listen.pls
[05:59] <quaal> xmms doesnt do it
[05:59] <quaal> no error
[05:59] <jcboi> i have two comps and this is what i want to:laptop-remove grub and allow proper windows loading.   desktop-getting system to ask me which to load when i plug in my usb harddisk... thanks... i am a noob... can anyone give em a step by step help?
[05:59] <Geeerd> But the problem still persists
[05:59] <bruenig> _3oo3, arch has abs, which is basically a more streamlined and simpler version of portage
[06:00] <bruenig> arch wins again
[06:00] <jared> I am using the nVidia restricted drivers, but I can not find the nVidia configuration application listed in any of the Gnome menus. How do I access it?
[06:00] <BrokenCrystal_> that sucks, which video card do you have
[06:00] <j1tters> jared type nvidia-settings in a terminal
[06:00] <Geeerd> Gforce 6150
[06:00] <Geeerd> integrated
[06:00] <BrokenCrystal_> ok, which drivers
[06:00] <Geeerd> The restriced ones
[06:00] <jared> Thanks
[06:01] <jared> Should nVidia settings be available in a menu?
[06:01] <_3oo3> bruenig: oh, I see.  A small, closed community of a set of the only programs that works on the distro?  yeah.  That's a win.  I guess.
[06:01] <j1tters> not by default jared.
[06:01] <BrokenCrystal_> that should work, but you could try the drivers from nvidia's driver page, they have a beta available that is geared for laptops...  Is it a laptop by chance
[06:01] <BrokenCrystal_> ?
[06:01] <Geeerd> No, a Destktop
[06:02] <BrokenCrystal_> they should still work, you should try them
[06:02] <ahw> hi
[06:02] <Geeerd> are they debs
[06:02] <bruenig> _3oo3, if by only programs, you mean all linux software available in either binary or source
[06:02] <jcboi> erm, okay.... i should ask bit by bit...is it possible to remove grub?
[06:02] <ziroday> anyone here got urban terror working good?
[06:02] <BrokenCrystal_> no, but they have an install script
[06:02] <BrokenCrystal_> that makes them easy to install
[06:03] <jcboi> ??
[06:03] <sbw2004> for the x server problem should I use "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" or manualy edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:03] <j1tters> jcboi how do you plan on booting into an os then jcboi?
[06:03] <bruenig> _3oo3, take it to #archlinux
[06:03] <BrokenCrystal_> worth a shot, just backup your xorg.conf file first <-Just in case
[06:03] <jcboi> j1tters:using the windows bootloader?
[06:03] <Geeerd> ok, i will try with those
[06:03] <j1tters> so you want to dual boot jcboi?
[06:03] <nj786> i cannot print from my printer can anybody help?
[06:03] <BrokenCrystal_> I am running them, with no problems
[06:04] <BrokenCrystal_> on a laptop
[06:04] <BrokenCrystal_> they are on my buddies desktop also
[06:04] <nj786>  i cannot print from my printer can anybody help
[06:04] <Geeerd> i find it turning all black , when one window is over another
[06:05] <BrokenCrystal_> I would try a newer driver
[06:05] <jcboi> j1tters:something like that, but however, i want to remove the grub that is installed on my laptop, making it boot using the windows bootloader instead of grub
[06:05] <Geeerd> if my firefox is on xchat or viceversa , the top one is all Black
[06:05] <bartosz> he what does the ls command do?
[06:05] <Geeerd> yeah i am gonna do that
[06:05] <bartosz> or what is the diffrence between ls and ps?
[06:05] <bobsumone>  yay im so happy
[06:05] <bobsumone>  my gf is gonna let me convert the network (3 stations 1 server) to a full ubuntu network!
[06:06] <bobsumone>  fuk yeah~!
[06:06] <jcboi> j1tters:something like that, but however, i want to remove the grub that is installed on my laptop, making it boot using the windows bootloader instead of grub,coz if i don't restall the bootloader, my family can't load windows w/o my usb harddisk
[06:06] <bartosz> anyone?

[06:07] <bobsumone> and it was causing issues
[06:07] <ries> Bye guys... I am going to sit back behind my mac..... Not to much really works easely with ubuntu desktop, ubuntu server rocks though.....
[06:07] <silent_> bleh, most of my family runs windoze, so I keep a samba server running
[06:07] <Ultima`> I've got a home folder (C:\Users\Ultima) that I have shared using windows file sharing...  and I have it mounted using the mount command and smbfs...  and the permissions of the mounted folder are 777.  Any reason why I can't write to any of the folders inside the home folder?
[06:08] <bobsumone> yah, im just trying server for the first time
[06:08] <jcboi> j1tters?
[06:08] <j1tters> dont know jcboi did you try google?

[06:08] <nj786>  i cannot print from my printer can anybody help
[06:08] <j1tters> cant you just fix grub so it controls your dual boot ?
[06:08] <bobsumone>  silent_: yeah I was using samba, but the CP's where buggy
[06:08] <nj786>  i cannot print from my printer can anybody help
[06:08] <elkbuntu> hard_gay, silent_, please do not be so dismissive of women in this channel, it is quite offensive.
[06:08] <nj786>  i cannot print from my printer can anybody help
[06:08] <nj786>  i cannot print from my printer can anybody help
[06:08] <bobsumone> *PC's
[06:08] <FireZ> i got a question...
[06:09] <bobsumone> qwertydislexia
[06:09] <jcboi> j1tters:okay, i try googling, but is it possible to remove grub and restall the windows bootloader?
[06:09] <silent_> "hard_gay, silent_, please do not be so dismissive of women in this channel, it is quite offensive." meh, at least I'm not a hypocrite
[06:09] <BrokenCrystal_> you cannot print from your printer
[06:09] <nj786> brokencrystal
[06:09] <nj786> yes
[06:09] <nj786> i dono why
[06:09] <nj786> i just installed it
[06:09] <elkbuntu> silent_, what are you on about?
[06:09] <FireZ> when i go to System -> Administration i can see the option install of ubuntu, but i installed ubuntu a long ago x.x
[06:09] <BrokenCrystal_> do you have a driver, and if so, is it the right one?
[06:09] <j1tters> i really dont know jcboi. personally i wouldnt. just let grub do it? its already installed and handles dual boot very nicely.
[06:10] <nj786> i do not know
[06:10] <silent_> nothing, I thought we'd moved on from the last topic
[06:10] <BrokenCrystal_> go to printers and see if your printer is there
[06:10] <nj786> broken crystal, i have a HP PHOTOSMART C3180 PRINTER
[06:10] <elkbuntu> silent_, what last topic?
[06:10] <silent_> authority over a home network
[06:10] <nj786> brokecrstal, it only shows 3100
[06:10] <jcboi> j1tters:the problem is, without my usb hdd, my comp can't even load... the grub starts and ends with an error
[06:11] <silent_> bob, the PCs were buggy?
[06:11] <j1tters> what is on the usb drive? one of the os's?
[06:11] <silent_> how so?
[06:11] <BrokenCrystal_> you may have to use another driver, google "hp photosmart c3180 ubuntu"
[06:11] <nj786> brokencrystal?
[06:11] <bobsumone> llmao
[06:12] <BrokenCrystal_> you may find someone who had the same problem
[06:12] <bobsumone> i have one of those printers in the closet
[06:12] <bobsumone> customers give them to me all the time
[06:12] <elkbuntu> !nickspam | masterdrake
[06:12] <ubotu> masterdrake: You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu - it causes unrequired scrolling which is unfair on new users. The same goes for using noisy away messages (see !Away for more details): use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently
[06:12] <BrokenCrystal_> sometimes a printer will use the same driver, but have a different model number
[06:13] <bobsumone> true
[06:13] <bobsumone>  check hp's window driver
[06:13] <bobsumone>  see if it uses a diff number
[06:13] <nj786> brokencrstal,  idownloaded the driver and everything
[06:13] <nj786> but it doesnt print
[06:13] <jcboi> j1tters: ubuntu is on my usb drive, windows xp is on my hard disk drive
[06:13] <bobsumone> u have power paper and ink right?
[06:13] <nj786> yes
[06:14] <nj786> eevrythinfg
[06:14] <nj786> everything
[06:14] <bobsumone> u pulled the tape off the cartridge
[06:14] <bobsumone> not being rude
[06:14] <nj786> yes
[06:14] <bobsumone> but I see it ALLLLLL the time
[06:14] <j1tters> dunno.
[06:14] <bobsumone> what is it doing exactly?
[06:14] <dr_willis> bobsumone,  :) been there DONE that...
[06:14] <bobsumone> nothing
[06:14] <nj786> bobsumone, what doi do?
[06:14] <bobsumone>  lol dr_willis
[06:15] <PurpZeY> !info xvid
[06:15] <ubotu> Package xvid does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[06:15] <nj786> ubuntu is horrible for hardware
[06:15] <jcboi> j1tters: ubuntu is on my usb drive, windows xp is on my hard disk drive, so i want to restall the bootloader to its original stage(before I install ubuntu)
[06:15] <PurpZeY> What is the name of the program that captures video from ubuntu desktop?
[06:15] <j1tters> dont know jcboi.
[06:15] <bobsumone>  nj786 when you hit print what happens?
[06:15] <bobsumone>  does ubuntu throw an error anywhere?
[06:15] <nj786> bobsumone, nothing
[06:15] <bobsumone> maybe something else could be conflicting?
[06:15] <nj786> bobsumone, i have no idea
[06:15] <bobsumone>  uninstall the driver and reinstal
[06:16] <ziroday> PurpZeY: istanbul or xvidcap
[06:16] <bobsumone> or re-download the driver and check the integrity
[06:16] <bobsumone> perhaps try another download location
[06:16] <jcboi> j1tters:huh?coz i can't load grub without connecting my usb drive...
[06:16] <nj786> bobsumone, how
[06:16] <PurpZeY> ziroday: Anyone you'd recommend over the other?
[06:16] <bobsumone> use your internets
[06:16] <bobsumone> :P
[06:16] <nj786> bobsumone, pardon?
[06:16] <bobsumone> go online
[06:16] <bobsumone> find the driver
[06:16] <nj786> i have
[06:16] <bobsumone> from 3 places
[06:16] <nj786> i already installed it
[06:16] <bobsumone> and make sure there all the same
[06:17] <bobsumone> i know
[06:17] <ziroday> PurpZeY: hmmm theyre both pretty dodgey but i think more people use xvidcap over istanbul but instanbul is meant to have better beryl suppor. i dunno try them both
[06:17] <bobsumone> but if you got a corrupt driver its gonna mess up
[06:17] <BrokenCrystal_> I had to use other software to get my dads working, but forgot what it was called
[06:17] <nj786> bobsumone, i am lost
[06:17] <bobsumone> or if the driver was just garbage to begin with
[06:17] <nj786> bobsumone, and ocnfused
[06:17] <BrokenCrystal_> just a sec and I will look
[06:17] <nj786> confused
[06:17] <bobsumone> lol
[06:17] <bobsumone> ok
[06:17] <nj786> lol
[06:17] <bobsumone> here, you downloaded the driver and installed it right?
[06:17] <nj786> yuh
[06:18] <PurpZeY> ziroday: is istanbul in the repositories?
[06:18] <bobsumone>  lets say the driver has some accident along the way and looses some 1's and 0's
[06:18] <bobsumone> and you install it
[06:18] <nj786> ok
[06:18] <bobsumone> or
[06:18] <ziroday> PurpZeY: dunno havnt used either for a while. I think theres debs on thier site
[06:18] <bobsumone> lets say the driver just never worked
[06:18] <nj786> ok
[06:18] <Zoffix> Hi, my keyboard was acting real funny a few minutes ago.

[06:18] <bobsumone> and you installed it
[06:18] <bobsumone> now
[06:18] <bobsumone> what you do is
[06:18] <bobsumone> go and find 2 or 3 locations that have the file you need
[06:19] <bobsumone> and download them
[06:19] <nj786> for my printer
[06:19] <bobsumone>  compare them to eachother to ensure there integrity
[06:19] <bobsumone> correct
[06:19] <nj786> find 2 or 3 drivers for my printer?
[06:19] <bobsumone> yes
[06:19] <bobsumone> the same ones
[06:19] <bobsumone> it is to be sure you have the right ones

[06:33] <compotatoj> Plasmid47: I don't think disabling virtual desktops saves any memory
[06:33] <codename> that could also be it
[06:33] <codename> is the Envy script like AutoMatix
[06:33] <BrokenCrystal_> blow out the dust, check the fan (if it has one)
[06:34] <codename> a my video card has one
[06:34] <BrokenCrystal_> make sure the card is well seated
[06:34] <ziroday> bartosz: i hate source lol, in synaptic search for gcc
[06:34] <BrokenCrystal_> remove and reinstall it
[06:34] <Plasmid47> what about the other "workspaces" or whatever? Are those separate?
[06:34] <ziroday> codename: like automatix except 100 times better + helluva lot more reliable
[06:34] <bartosz> how do i do it in synaptic
[06:34] <bartosz> because i have to idea
[06:34] <bartosz> .. how
[06:34] <bartosz> i am new
[06:34] <ziroday> bartosz: i recommend that you dont try to compile suorce if youre a beginner
[06:34] <codename> ya last time i installed the Nvidia Drivers through AutoMatix i had to reinstall ubuntu
[06:34] <BrokenCrystal_> automatix isnt really that bad anymore, now they use mostly ubuntus repos
[06:35] <ziroday> !source | bartosz
[06:35] <ubotu> bartosz: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html
[06:35] <jcboi> _nix_:okay, then how do i setup such that grub installs on my harddisk and not my usb?i want windows option to appear before ubuntu so that i can load windows if i don't have my usb with me
[06:35] <BrokenCrystal_> seriously
[06:35] <compotatoj> codename: try playing a 3d game and tell me what happens
[06:35] <ziroday> codename: then use envy
[06:35] <BrokenCrystal_> they are aware of the bad name and have made many changes
[06:35] <codename> well the thing is
[06:35] <codename> i can't even load StepMania
[06:35] <codename> so
[06:35] <crdlb> codename, did you try the restricted drivers manager?
[06:35] <codename> it crashes
[06:35] <codename> no
[06:35] <compotatoj> codename: Are you running feisty?
[06:35] <codename> do you want my GLXInfo?
[06:35] <codename> no
[06:35] <codename> 6.06 Dapper
[06:36] <crdlb> oh
[06:36] <nj786> ziroday, back
[06:36] <compotatoj> codename: Try installing the binary nvidia offical drivers
[06:36] <nj786> ziroday, testpage print?
[06:36] <ziroday> nj786: try again
[06:36] <ziroday> yeah
[06:36] <BrokenCrystal_> oh, and the automatix drivers are installed the same way as with envy
[06:36] <BrokenCrystal_> because they work together to write this
[06:37] <codename> so if im 32 bit
[06:37] <ziroday> BrokenCrystal_: then why do the automatix ones never work?
[06:37] <codename> id be Linux x86?
[06:37] <crdlb> codename, have you tried just using the drivers in the repos?
[06:37] <bartosz> ziroday: well
[06:37] <codename> no
[06:37] <bartosz> how should i put a bot on irc?
[06:37] <codename> again
[06:37] <bartosz> if i can't even configure eggdrop
[06:37] <BrokenCrystal_> automatix only does one version, they do not do the latest version
[06:37] <codename> both time i tried to install drivers
[06:37] <BrokenCrystal_> they are slow to update them
[06:37] <codename> something went wrong
[06:37] <ziroday> codename: use envy
[06:37] <crdlb> codename, have you ever done it using synaptic?
[06:38] <BrokenCrystal_> envy is good
[06:38] <codename> no
[06:38] <konam> someone here knows a good documentation to learn python?
[06:38] <BrokenCrystal_> even better, get them from nvidia
[06:38] <crdlb> !nvidia
[06:38] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:38] <BrokenCrystal_> and install them yourself
[06:38] <codename> does envy install the right ones
[06:38] <bartosz> ziroday: you have any reccomendations?
[06:38] <nj786> ziroday, nope it came out like garbage cut off
[06:38] <compotatoj> konam: http://docs.python.org/tut/tut.html
[06:38] <ziroday> codename: yeah
[06:38] <ziroday> bartosz: nope
[06:38] <BrokenCrystal_> yea
[06:38] <codename> So it detects the Video Card?
[06:38] <crdlb> but if it breaks, there's no way to undo it
[06:38] <nj786> ziroday, what can i do?
[06:38] <codename> where can I download the drivers
[06:38] <BrokenCrystal_> backup xorg.conf first
[06:39] <BrokenCrystal_> do a search (google) envy
[06:39] <ziroday> nj786: hmm go to Printing >right click Properties >Driver >select a diff driver than the one listed
[06:40] <nj786> but my printer dirver isnt listed i am usung c3100
[06:40] <nj786> using
[06:40] <codename> does anyone have a link where I can install Envy?
[06:40] <ziroday> nj786: what printer gain?
[06:40] <BrokenCrystal_> sometimes the driver that looks close in model will not work
[06:40] <Fattay> I love Ubuntu
[06:40] <Fattay> lol
[06:40] <nj786> hp photosmart c3180
[06:40] <BrokenCrystal_> you may have to try multiple lower models to get it to work
[06:40] <BrokenCrystal_> seriously
[06:40] <ziroday> codename: www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[06:40] <Geeerd> Hey BrokenCrystal_ , i installed the new Nvidia Drivers and now i am unable to start the xserver directly
[06:40] <BrokenCrystal_> if yours is not listed
[06:41] <BrokenCrystal_> did you try to restore xorg.conf
[06:41] <nj786> brokencrystal, meaning?
[06:41] <ziroday> nj786: then at the bottom there is a drop dwon menucalled frivers select hplip
[06:41] <Geeerd> yeah , even after that it dosent work
[06:41] <ziroday> *menu called drivers
[06:41] <nj786> the (suggested) one
[06:42] <BrokenCrystal_> you may need to reconfigure
[06:42] <nj786> or wihtout suggested
[06:42] <ziroday> nj786: no the other one
[06:42] <BrokenCrystal_> brb
[06:42] <nj786> suggested?
[06:42] <ziroday> nj786: not suggested
[06:42] <nj786> hplip(recocmended)
[06:42] <nj786> hplip(recocmended)                (suggested)
[06:43] <ziroday> nj786: waht ver of ubuntu are you using??
[06:43] <nj786> 7.04
[06:43] <Geeerd> btw which version of nvidia driver shud i install , if i have AMD 64 and gforce 6150 with nvidia chipset?
[06:43] <ziroday> nj786: no the one called hpjis HPLIP
[06:43] <Geeerd> I tried the lates in AMD 64 and it screwed up my x server
[06:43] <nj786> yes
[06:43] <nj786> i know
[06:43] <BrokenCrystal_> I would try the latest...  just a sec, I have to run, brb
[06:43] <jcboi> how do i setup such that grub installs on my harddisk and not my usb?i want windows option to appear before ubuntu so that i can load windows if i don't have my usb with me
[06:43] <nj786> without suggested or with?

[06:44] <nj786> now what
[06:44] <ziroday> nj786: print another test page
[06:45] <BrokenCrystal_> you could try envy drivers
[06:45] <BrokenCrystal_> script
[06:45] <jcboi> how do i setup such that grub installs on my harddisk and not my usb?i want windows option to appear before ubuntu so that i can load windows if i don't have my usb with me
[06:45] <juanbond> Anyone have recommendations for an iptables firewall script/builder?
[06:45] <ziroday> !repeat | jcboi
[06:45] <ubotu> jcboi: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[06:46] <jcboi> !patience | jcboi
[06:46] <ziroday> nj786: well ?
[06:46] <nj786> ziroday, nope
[06:46] <ziroday> nj786: then im out
[06:46] <nj786> prints out garbage
[06:46] <jcboi> sorry for that...
[06:47] <nj786> ubuntu sucks @ detecting hardware
[06:47] <ziroday> nj786: try printing something else
[06:48] <shiftplusone> hey, have a little problem... was wondering if someone could please help?
[06:48] <shiftplusone> when trying to run executables like qnext or hydranode... it says file not found
[06:48] <shiftplusone> when it's right there
[06:49] <crdlb> shiftplusone, in the current directory?
[06:49] <ziroday> shiftplusone: you have to make the file executable
[06:49] <shiftplusone> yup
[06:49] <compotatoj> shiftplusone: ./executable name
[06:49] <crdlb> run: ./qnext
[06:49] <shiftplusone> they are
[06:49] <shiftplusone> then I make a script which just has ls in it.. and it runs fine
[06:49] <nj786> ok ziroday, it printed out somethin like this File:/home/username/Desktop/print_this_file
[06:49] <crdlb> ls is in /bin/
[06:49] <crdlb> which is part of your $PATH
[06:49] <compotatoj> shiftplusone: also make sure it is chmox +x
[06:50] <ziroday> nj786: not the actual content?
[06:50] <compotatoj> shiftplusone: chmod +x actually
[06:50] <nj786> no ziroday
[06:50] <shiftplusone> it definatly has the x permission
[06:50] <ziroday> nj786: then i dont knoew
[06:50] <Adam> In Samba, I have security = user.  Then when I log on from winXP, I have two directories; 'homes' and 'adam', that have identical contents.  Is this normal? Is everything okay?
[06:50] <compotatoj> shiftplusone: try the absolute bath
[06:50] <compotatoj> shiftplusone: path*
[06:51] <nj786> ziroday, do you know somone that can helpo?
[06:53] <shiftplusone> http://pastebin.ca/513206
[06:53] <shiftplusone> just so you know I am not insane
[06:54] <shiftplusone> is there some package I am missing that I need to run these maybe?
[06:54] <Arex> Hey, can anyone tell me how to install a .emerald skin on ubuntu
[06:54] <compotatoj> shiftplusone: is hydranode a directory?
[06:54] <Frogzoo> Adam: did you create a samba share for adam? because homes have a share created automatically
[06:54] <shiftplusone> no it's a file
[06:55] <compotatoj> Arex: emerald is for beryl.. do you use beryl?
[06:55] <Arex> compotato, I have it but I'm using compiz atm.
[06:55] <bruenig> shiftplusone, is it a script or a binary?
[06:55] <BVBBQ> hey all. i keep having issues with my sound card.
[06:55] <shiftplusone> binary
[06:55] <shiftplusone> scripts run fine
[06:56] <bruenig> hmmm
[06:56] <Flackrum> BVBBQ internal or external?
[06:56] <Broccoly> if i want to change boot drive in grub, how do i know what the new drive is? that is, currently it's (0,0)
[06:56] <BVBBQ> Flackrum, internal built onto my motherboard.
[06:56] <Arex> compotatoj, I have it but I'm using compiz atm.
[06:56] <jared> Emerald is not working on my 7.04 box
[06:56] <jared> I get this msg
[06:56] <jared> jared@jared-desktop:~$ emerald
[06:56] <jared> emerald: Could not acquire decoration manager selection on screen 0 display ":0.0"
[06:56] <BVBBQ> Flackrum, lspci tells me it is a "Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)
[06:56] <BVBBQ> "
[06:56] <crimsun> BVBBQ: read http://www.linux-sound.info/alsa/index.php?task=support , download the script, then tell me the url.
[06:57] <et381> what is the best way to install samba 3.0.25 on fiesty?
[06:57] <Adam> Broccoly: I THINK that's (first drive, first partition)
[06:57] <Flackrum> ok, just finished sorry my abilities are limited there, I was hoping it was a similar external USB issue I just found a solution for on the forums, GL BVBBQ
[06:57] <BVBBQ> Flackrum, ive had to fix this issue a bunch of times. but i keep forgetting how.
[06:57] <compotatoj> Arex: I know beryl comes with an app that lets you install emerald themes
[06:57] <Adam> Broccoly: But it could be (first bus, first drive) now that I confused myself hehheh...
[06:57] <melchior> does firewire work with linux?
[06:57] <jared> Anyone have an idea how to get emerald working?
[06:57] <Broccoly> Adam: it is, what I'm trying to figure out what the new drive will be
[06:58] <Arex> compotatoj, Can you tell me how to open it or run it?
[06:58] <compotatoj> melchior: yes.. it should by default
[06:58] <BVBBQ> crimsun, its a reccurring problem. and naturally keeps happening after i forget how i did it the last time
[06:58] <Adam> Broccoly: It won't be sequential? Just (1,0)?
[06:58] <melchior> compotatoj, including firewire 800?
[06:58] <jared> Private msg me if you know
[06:58] <jared> thanks
[06:58] <yagami> Hi, i am getting a 'bluetooth handsfree profile not supported by myubuntu-box' when i try to connect my nokia 6600
[06:58] <Broccoly> Adam: it probably will, but i still don't know the number
[06:58] <compotatoj> Arex: I believe compiz does not use emerald.. it uses the gtk theme
[06:59] <yagami> whats up with that? am i missing some dependencies or is the device completely without support?
[06:59] <shiftplusone> oh.... something just hit me actually... I may be trying to run 32bit executables on my amd64 system >.>
[06:59] <Arex>  Ok
[06:59] <Ericc> I'm making a File Server from scratch size of 1 TB .. anyone what experience in this and is willing to help me for a few minutes?
[06:59] <compotatoj> melchoir: I am not 100% positive, but I would be confident that it does
[07:00] <Adam> Broccoly: There may be something here... http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#Hard_Drive
[07:00] <ejack> I am trying to install ubuntu 7.04 on my laptop and keep getting errors when gnome/X gets loaded. How hard would it be to install without using the visual guide?
[07:01] <defrysk> ejack, easyer probably
[07:01] <Adam> Broccoly: like @sudo fdisk -l
[07:01] <compotatoj> Ericc: 1TB? That is huge...
[07:01] <Ericc> yes
[07:01] <compotatoj> Ericc: Oh, I thought you said swap
[07:01] <ejack> once the text based is loaded, how do I initialize the installation?
[07:01] <defrysk> ejack, download the alternative install cd
[07:02] <compotatoj> Ericc: There are tons of different file servers, do you have any in mind that you want to do.. what do you want its functions to be?
[07:02] <defrysk> ejack, I even never use the live cd for install
[07:02] <Ericc> I'm making it from scratch
[07:02] <Ericc> so I'd have ot buy the parts
[07:02] <Broccoly> Adam: i know what my partition tables look like :) or are you saying the way fdisk lists drives is the numbering grub will use?
[07:02] <compotatoj> Ericc: I understand, but what do you want it to accomplish
[07:02] <ejack> ok, I'll try that. T_T been downloading the regular install all day on shotty wireless
[07:03] <Ericc> I want it to have Gig-E speeds
[07:03] <Ericc> I have the Gig-E router already
[07:03] <Deathshead> hi there, could somone give me a hand? feisty dosent see my windows shared folders...
[07:03] <Deathshead> been at it for 5 hours now.
[07:04] <Adam> Broccoly: Oooh... Hehheh, damn, shouldn't have taken that one on haha :) I dunno...  A little nooby about a lot of stuff still :D
[07:04] <Ericc> anyone have experience in building a fileserver?
[07:04] <shiftplusone> do gnome apps, or apps that use gnome libraries generally run slower than just X apps?
[07:04] <Ericc> I'm not completely sure what parts I'll need
[07:05] <compotatoj> Ericc: Do you want it to be encrypted? User authentication, etc?
[07:05] <Ericc> nope
[07:05] <compotatoj> Ericc: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network-attached_storage (NAS) is what you should read up on
[07:06] <Ericc> just a plain old file server with samba
[07:06] <ejack> is there somewhere to download the alternate install of kubuntu without having to get the entire DVD?
[07:06] <Madpilot> ejack, there's a CD-sized ISO of the alternate install too
[07:06] <Ericc> difference between NAS and "a file server" with linux and samba?
[07:07] <compotatoj> Ericc: Open source NAS-oriented distributions of Linux and FreeBSD are also available, including FreeNAS, NASLite and Openfiler. They are easy to configure via a Web-based Interface and run on low-end conventional computers. They can run from a LiveCD, bootable USB flash drive, or from one of the mounted hard drives. They run Samba, NFS daemon, and FTP daemons which are freely available for those operating systems.
[07:07] <ipstacks> NAS is or can be an embeded appliance dedicated to storge and generally doesn't do much else
[07:07] <mayorbuttes> Hey guys, running ubuntu on a laptop. Any helpful hints to increase battery life?
[07:07] <compotatoj> Ericc: NAS is just the general term for what you want
[07:07] <ipstacks> freeNAS is a BSD cd that is for storage
[07:08] <Ericc> alright, got it
[07:08] <compotatoj> Ericc: samba is just the protocol
[07:08] <Ericc> the main priority that I have is that it must use Gig-E
[07:08] <Flackrum> At this stage in linux read/write support for NTFS (pre-installed on my UbuntuStudio 7.04), is it safe to listen to my MP3s on an NTFS drive from within linux without needing to copy them to a FAT partition?
[07:08] <Ericc> samba is the windows sharing protocol
[07:08] <Ericc> I know
[07:08] <Deathshead> setting up samba is a pain...
[07:08] <mayorbuttes> Flackrum: I usually do that... reading from ntfs isn't that dangerous/
[07:08] <Ericc> not really
[07:09] <Ericc> I've done that already
[07:09] <mayorbuttes> Flackrum: it's when you get into writing to ntfs from linux that it gets hairy
[07:09] <Ericc> I just need to build a file server and I found some nice Hd's
[07:09] <Ericc> I'm just not too sure on the Mo-bo that I need
[07:09] <compotatoj> Ericc: You could just build a computer with a linux distro and 1tb of raid storage and have a gigabit network card.. I think there are better ways though
[07:09] <Arex> How come on my web browsers, I can see flash 'media' but when I try to go to a different webpage, the program crashes and I have to restart the browser...
[07:09] <Deathshead> all i want to do is mount my shared drive in xp.. and play my files, but i cant do it and im getting irritated.....cant find any help
[07:09] <mayorbuttes> Ericc: ubuntu server will work nice and stable for a file server
[07:09] <devyll> how can I configure eth1 without using the gnome default application which is really not working
[07:09] <Flackrum> mayorbuttes, ok cool, thank you. Yeah, that's how I figured, but when I read from NTFS, isn't it doing access-time writes?
[07:10] <mayorbuttes> Ericc: You just need to figure out how you want to access your files/
[07:10] <shiftplusone> 'night
[07:10] <anticlockwise_> devyll: use the commandline: ifconfig
[07:10] <compotatoj> Ericc: Make sure that you have fault protection
[07:10] <Ericc> well ssh seems like a good bet
[07:10] <mayorbuttes> Flackrum: I have NO idea, my friend. I just know that it didn;t cause me any problems
[07:10] <Arex> How come on my web browsers, I can see flash 'media' but when I try to go to a different webpage, the program crashes and I have to restart the browser...
[07:10] <Ericc> kind of a pain I guess
[07:10] <Flackrum> mayorbuttes, awesome, that helps a lot, thank you
[07:11] <mayorbuttes> Ericc: ssh will give you access to your box. ftp is a good one if you're looking to distribute the files locally.
[07:11] <mayorbuttes> Flackrum: No worries, bro
[07:11] <Deathshead> how can i tell if ubuntu even see my windows machine? what terminal command?
[07:11] <Ericc> I'm thinking about supplying the files on a LAN
[07:11] <InvisiblePinkUni> I can ping a website with its address, but am unable to browse directly, I can only browse by directly typing IPaddress... need help please....
[07:11] <compotatoj> Ericc: How much money are you thinking of spending and how good of fault protection do you want?
[07:11] <Ericc> but I want to do it in a quick and faster manner
[07:11] <HiddenHax> anyone play Second Life?
[07:11] <Ericc> 500USD
[07:11] <Flackrum> HiddenHax, I do
[07:11] <blur> yes
[07:12] <HiddenHax> does it work good?
[07:12] <blur> yeah, but depends on your xorg setup.
[07:12] <compotatoj> Ericc: So for that, you probably will only have a TB hard drive and if it fails then you lost all of your data
[07:12] <Flackrum> HiddenHax, it runs nearly flawlessly on my rig w/ Ubuntu 7.04 and proprietary nVidia driver
[07:12] <HiddenHax> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=277367
[07:12] <HiddenHax> does that help?
[07:12] <BrokenCrystal_> I have installed second life on linux, but never play
[07:13] <blur> it's IRC in 3d
[07:13] <HiddenHax> its such a small file
[07:13] <BrokenCrystal_> easy to install stuff from getdeb.net
[07:13] <Ericc> alright
[07:13] <Ericc> well, I guess its something I'll have to do some research into
[07:13] <BrokenCrystal_> some of the greatest games for linux are there packaged for ubuntu
[07:13] <compotatoj> Ericc: With multiple 1TB hard drives and RAID you can mirror your data over multiple hard drives and so if one dies you aren't screwed
[07:13] <Flackrum> I just double clicked the tar.gz and dragged the folder to my home directory, and made a shortcut to the script, this guy went the old school way I guess haha
[07:14] <Deathshead> how can i tell if ubuntu even see my windows machine? what terminal command?
[07:14] <bartosz> hey does anyone know where the tcl scripts care?
[07:14] <Ericc> compotatoj, that's a problem because then I need HD's all the same speed
[07:14] <bartosz> in ubuntu
[07:14] <Ericc> and it costs a lot more
[07:14] <compotatoj> Deathshead: You can just go to Places --> Network --> Windows Network
[07:14] <Flackrum> HiddenHax, is your vid card an ATI or Nvidia?
[07:15] <compotatoj> Ericc: What were you planning on doing?

[07:15] <compotatoj> /message Ericc Hi
[07:15] <Flackrum> HiddenHax, ok that's definitely a plus for you then, I ran into hefty issues when I was using an ATI card, runs great with my nvidia 9550

[07:17] <SirBob1701> hey guys i have a thinkpad t60 and I've downloaded libdvdcss2, libread3, and used regionset to go to region 1.  I've tried mplayer, totem-xine, vlc, and ogle and i still can't play dvds right any suggestions?
[07:18] <At0mic_PC> Also the dongle works under windows.
[07:18] <compotatoj> Ericc: I'm not sure..
[07:18] <Flackrum> HiddenHax, I used this method http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Latest_nvidia_feisty  it was really straightforward, I was having issues before
[07:18] <compotatoj> Ericc: go to room #ericc
[07:18] <BVBBQ> why must ubuntu hate my soundcard?
[07:18] <Deathshead> anyone?
[07:18] <FreedomFighter> It has been said that anyone is talking to me, Deathshead
[07:19] <HiddenHax> how come I cant login
[07:19] <HiddenHax> I registered
[07:19] <compotatoj> Ericc: /join #ericc
[07:19] <Flackrum> HiddenHax, also go to the SL forums and find the Linux category, there's some good info on bugs and edits of the SL script for enabling/disabling potential issues
[07:19] <Ericc> I go ur message, ur just not answering it compotatoj
[07:19] <InvisiblePinkUni> I'm having with DNS name resolution... please help... or direct me to where I should search
[07:19] <Flackrum> they came out with a decent readme on it as a sticky

[07:20] <bob535> Question: Is it posible to use a live dvd in conjunction with a USB key to enable a) graphics drivers and b) wine/cedega without any installation to the computer's hard drive?
[07:20] <Ericc> okay
[07:20] <BrokenCrystal_> bob535...
[07:20] <ipstacks> InvisiblePinkUni: look in /etc/resolv.conf
[07:20] <BVBBQ> can someone help me to get my sound working again?
[07:20] <At0mic_PC> Anyone good at making phones and bluetooth play nice?
[07:21] <BrokenCrystal_> http://reconstructor.aperantis.com/
[07:21] <Deathshead> well this sucks, i been searching and trying for 5 hours here... I cant get this to work..
[07:21] <BrokenCrystal_> package the drivers into the dvd
[07:21] <bob535> Its for when I'm using other people's computers, such as my wife's laptop or my in-laws desktop
[07:21] <Deathshead> all i want is to view my windows shared mp3/movie folder in ubuntu.....
[07:21] <BrokenCrystal_> just run reconstructor, package everything you need into the dvd and burn it
[07:21] <BrokenCrystal_> then it will work
[07:22] <BrokenCrystal_> on the other pc with drivers and all
[07:22] <BrokenCrystal_> even software
[07:22] <BrokenCrystal_> themes
[07:22] <Flackrum> Deathshead, have you checked the folder permissions? I ran into that issue before and ended up having to give liberal rights to 'everyone' in one case for lan access
[07:22] <bob535> thanks crystal
[07:22] <Deathshead> Flack ill check again...
[07:22] <BrokenCrystal_> no problem, works like a dream, also super easy to use
[07:22] <BrokenCrystal_> even for newbies
[07:24] <BVBBQ> can someone help me to get my sound working again? since the last update my sound doesnt work. it has happend before in the past but i dont remember the solution. possibly alsa/hda issues
[07:24] <BrokenCrystal_> did you try to double click on the sound icon and see what driver you are using
[07:25] <kornerr> i can't load Ubuntu 7.04 with my own menu list
[07:25] <Tom47> !sound > BVBBQ
[07:25] <kornerr> it stops booting at Waiting for root fs
[07:25] <kornerr> what's wrong?
[07:25] <BVBBQ> Tom47, ??
[07:26] <Tom47> !sound
[07:26] <ubotu> 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
[07:26] <[Neurotic] > should there be any issue isntalling Ubuntu Server 7.04 onto Vmware workstation 6? Whenever i boot up, it keeps telling me that the guest has shut down the CPU?
[07:26] <SirBob1701> hey guys i have a thinkpad t60 and I've downloaded libdvdcss2, libread3, and used regionset to go to region 1.  I've tried mplayer, totem-xine, vlc, and ogle and i still can't play dvds right any suggestions?

[07:31] <SpudDogg> jcboi, just do 'sudo su' and you'll be logged in as root.  after that, type 'passwd' and set the root password.  in the future, you'll be able to just type 'su' to log in as root
[07:31] <Memories> ppl my pc hangs whenever i open a few tabs in FIREFOX (processor shows at 100%) whts up with that?!
[07:32] <jcboi> kornerr:i want to move some files from one drive to the drive that ubuntu is installed on
[07:32] <_nasa_> hi
[07:32] <kornerr> SpudDogg, sudo su doesn't work for me
[07:32] <kornerr> because first it ASKS for root pswd
[07:32] <BrokenCrystal_> sudo apt-get remove firefox  navigate to home directory and delete .firefox hidden folder, then sudo apt-get install firefox
[07:32] <BrokenCrystal_> that is what I would try
[07:33] <kornerr> jcboi, tried "sudo -i" ?
[07:33] <kornerr> or "sudo i"
[07:33] <kornerr> can't remember
[07:33] <Memories> brokencrystal_ thou this prob appeared since i first installed edgy! and not later on..
[07:33] <jcboi> i tried sudo su and it works for me
[07:33] <kornerr> then ok
[07:33] <defrysk> Memories, check if the sites you are entering are the problem
[07:33] <BrokenCrystal_> it cant hurt to try it
[07:33] <kornerr> do what you want
[07:33] <SpudDogg> kornerr, you should be able to put in the same password you use every time you type 'sudo <command>'  same password you use to run 'apt-get update', etc...
[07:33] <jcboi> but, how do i shift some files to the operating system drive?
[07:33] <BrokenCrystal_> and go from there
[07:34] <Memories> defrysk if theyre heavy it hangs
[07:34] <BrokenCrystal_> maybe corrupt install
[07:34] <BrokenCrystal_> ?
[07:34] <kornerr> SpudDogg, i see
[07:34] <Memories> defrysk like lots of java applets and flash and so on
[07:34] <defrysk> Memories, thought so
[07:34] <jcboi> kornerr:i want to move some files from one drive to the drive that ubuntu is installed on???thankyou
[07:34] <Memories> defrysk , so thts normal ?!
[07:34] <kornerr> jcboi, so move it
[07:34] <kornerr> :)
[07:34] <defrysk> Memories, poorly written webpages probably
[07:35] <Memories> defrysk oh ok :) thank you...
[07:35] <jcboi> but i don't seem to be able to move them
[07:35] <Memories> defrysk , though am worried it might b a missconfiguration between linux and my hardware
[07:35] <kornerr> jcboi, what's wrong then?
[07:35] <defrysk> Memories, but you could try the earlyer suggestion of course
[07:35] <Memories> defrysk , how can i b sure tht linux is squeezing everything it can get from my hardware!
[07:35] <BrokenCrystal_> maybe try fasterfox...
[07:36] <Memories> brokencrystal_ yup i was about to try tht though i thought ill come here and ask first
[07:36] <BrokenCrystal_> not a fix, but built for your specific system config
[07:36] <defrysk> Memories, install the flashblock addon would be my advise
[07:36] <defrysk> on firefox
[07:36] <jcboi> kornerr:it says i don't have permission to "/media/data" where data is the drive name
[07:36] <Tok> I'm trying to get streaming audio to work through firefox.
[07:36] <Memories> defrysk i have NOSCRIPT installed!
[07:36] <Deathshead> this is fucking bullshit man, 6 hours now to mount a winxp shared folder...
[07:36] <Tok> gzine connects to the server but no sound :/  any help?
[07:36] <SpudDogg> Deathshead: need some help?
[07:36] <BrokenCrystal_> xp sucks, jk, dont hate on me
[07:37] <Deathshead> god i could use some help fellas
[07:37] <patbam> hi, my firefox has become almost unusable; it crashes regularly and locks up everything for long periods. how can i go about trying to figure out what's wrong?
[07:37] <Memories> brokencrystal_ elaborate plz! am obviously a newbie.. built for sys config.. ?!
[07:37] <Deathshead> please! god
[07:37] <SpudDogg> Deathshead: what is the problem you're having?
[07:37] <defrysk> Memories, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/433 is one of my favo addons
[07:37] <BrokenCrystal_> it compiles for your processor
[07:37] <kornerr> jcboi, you're doing it with root privileges? i mean after sudo su and blah-blah?
[07:37] <Deathshead> go to network places,... no shared folders are listed.. permissions on xp side set.
[07:37] <BrokenCrystal_> so it works fastest on your specific system configuration (hardware)
[07:37] <jcboi> i am using the GUI to do the moving...
[07:37] <Memories> defrysk ill check it out sank you
[07:37] <BrokenCrystal_> understand?
[07:38] <defrysk> Memories, good luck
[07:38] <PurpZeY> Anyone know why istanbul won't open a save file dialog? The FAQ mentions some necessary packages...I thought I had them, I'm not sure how to check and, also, I'm not sure how to check.
[07:38] <Memories> brokencrystal_ yes i understand though it would b a whole new distro!
[07:38] <kornerr> jcboi, then you surely need to do this thru console
[07:38] <SpudDogg> Deathshead: ok, on your ubuntu box you don't show any shared folders?  is that correct?
[07:38] <etinr> does anyone know why im getting this error? root@sfdsdf2:/etc/apache2# apache2ctl start
[07:38] <etinr> apache2: Syntax error on line 189 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Could not open configuration file /etc/apache2/httpd.conf: No such file or directory
[07:38] <Memories> brokencrystal_ or updates to the one i allready have installed!
[07:38] <Deathshead> it only goes to "windows network" and thats as far as it goes..
[07:38] <BrokenCrystal_> just an update to your sys
[07:38] <patbam> PurpZeY: i've never had any luck getting istanbul to work (fwiw)
[07:38] <Deathshead> i tried with samba too, same deal.
[07:38] <BrokenCrystal_> just a sec, i'll get you some more info on how
[07:38] <jcboi> kornerr:is it possible to set the folder to be accessible by my account?
[07:38] <PurpZeY> patbam: What have you used instead?
[07:38] <Deathshead> spudd correct
[07:38] <Memories> brokencrystial_ thank you
[07:38] <kornerr> jcboi, yes, in console :)
[07:39] <kornerr> hehe
[07:39] <ice9> I can't get php5 module to load in apache2
[07:39] <kornerr> chmod
[07:39] <patbam> PurpZeY: haven't taken the time to find an alternative yet (i need to tho...)
[07:39] <ice9> can someone help
[07:39] <ice9> I did a force restart too
[07:39] <ice9> still nothing
[07:39] <jcboi> kornerr:how do i chmod it?
[07:39] <At0mic_PC> Anyone good with bluetooth?
[07:40] <PurpZeY> !anyone
[07:40] <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?
[07:40] <BrokenCrystal_> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=142798
[07:40] <At0mic_PC> Thanks but I already asked the question. It was ignored.
[07:40] <SpudDogg> Deathshead: try this command via terminal: 'sudo mount -t smbfs -o workgroup=<workgroupname>,username=<XPusername>,password=<XPpassword> //<XPMachine'sIP/<sharename> /mnt/localmountpoint'
[07:40] <BrokenCrystal_> fasterfox howto
[07:40] <kornerr> jcboi, you can also use chown, to make these dirs/files be owned by use, smth like "chown kornerr /home/some_dir", then to be accessed by group "users" smth like "chgrp users /home/some_dir"
[07:40] <kornerr> *by you
[07:40] <Memories> brokencrystal_ thank you
[07:41] <BrokenCrystal_> no problem
[07:41] <Deathshead> will do thanks
[07:41] <At0mic_PC> Hey guys I'm having trouble getting bluetooth to work. I have a dongle and I can get hcitool scan to see my phone but I can't connect with sudo hidd --connect aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff. Of course the aa:bb is replaced with my phone's numbers and letters.
[07:41] <defrysk> sudo chown -h -R <username> /path/to/folder
[07:41] <patbam> is swiftfox a result of firefox being unbearably slow for other people?
[07:41] <SpudDogg> Deathshead: that needs to be all one line, by the way
[07:41] <SpudDogg> Deathshead: and if you get an error, let me know what it is
[07:42] <kornerr> hm, with this "Waiting for root filesystem" i might experience a bug
[07:42] <kornerr> lol
[07:43] <jcboi> thanks kornerr... i am trying it out
[07:43] <kornerr> jcboi, np
[07:43] <Tom47> ice9 you could try that question in #apache
[07:43] <Memories> brokencrystal_ i know this must be a silly question , but how do i know tht linux is actually working perfectly with my Hrdware!
[07:43] <BrokenCrystal_> what is your hardware
[07:44] <Memories> 1.8 , 256 , intel 845
[07:44] <BrokenCrystal_> notebook or desktop, processor type, memory, video
[07:44] <maney> q01z: is there any way to make whatever it is stop nattering about "do you want to activate slow keys?"  I never do want to, and it never seems to get a clue...
[07:44] <Memories> desktop, 64 built in
[07:44] <maney> Question: is there any way to make whatever it is stop nattering about "do you want to activate slow keys?"  I never do want to, and it never seems to get a clue...
[07:44] <BrokenCrystal_> intel works very well with ubuntu
[07:44] <Memories> hmm
[07:44] <Tok> How do I make firefox switch from one plugin to another say from gxine to mplayer
[07:44] <BrokenCrystal_> 64?
[07:44] <Deathshead> ok spudd done now what?
[07:45] <BrokenCrystal_> amd, intel
[07:45] <Memories> brokencrysta_ vga
[07:45] <SpudDogg> Deathshead: did it give you an error?
[07:45] <BrokenCrystal_> amd, intel, ati?
[07:45] <Memories> intel
[07:45] <BrokenCrystal_> should be good to go
[07:45] <Deathshead> no, just a command overview.. for many more details, etc...
[07:46] <Memories> hmm ok one more question, i know i bothered you enough for today
[07:46] <Memories> brokencrystal_ whenever i openup Amsn an update window opens up!
[07:46] <BrokenCrystal_> sounds like a problem with just firefox, maybe a bad install, or something else
[07:46] <patbam> whoa, swiftfox is... er... swift.
[07:46] <SpudDogg> Deathshead: ok, something didn't work right.  if you run 'sudo aptitude install smbfs' does anything install or does it say "0 upgraded, 0 installed, etc"?
[07:46] <defrysk> Memories, use gaim
[07:46] <Memories> defrysk Gaim closes by itself
[07:46] <Memories> defrysk , ill b chatting and then it disapears without notice
[07:46] <Frogzoo> Memories: if linux is having problems, it will whinge in /var/log/messages
[07:47] <infamy> there use to be a site/app that would let you load all the codec/non included codec/drivers into ubuntu. anyone remenber what it was called and is it still used?
[07:47] <defrysk> Memories, have you installed automatix or something ?
[07:47] <BrokenCrystal_> probably have an older version of amsn, will need to update from their site if your concerned about it...  I am likeing pidgin im for msn
[07:47] <devyll> every time I restart ubuntu iptables rules are deleted and /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward is restored from "1" to "0"
[07:47] <Memories> defrisk i havent installed anything yet except amarok
[07:47] <devyll> what can I do to stop that ?
[07:47] <groobs> hi - need help
[07:47] <defrysk> Memories, make sure not to install automatix btw
[07:47] <jcboi> kornerr: can i use the chown -h -R / to change all permissions to me?
[07:47] <Memories> hmm k i will though tht helps with wht exactly?!
[07:47] <defrysk> jcboi, yes you can
[07:47] <BrokenCrystal_> automatix does not break every system, believe it or not
[07:47] <BrokenCrystal_> seriously
[07:48] <Flannel> jcboi: no.  That will break your system
[07:48] <Geeerd> I installed the New Nvidia drivers , and now i get API mismatch error every time i try to start x server
[07:48] <groobs> my i msg u?
[07:48] <Tom47> maney are you holding down the shift key a lot ... seems there is an issue there if you do
[07:48] <defrysk> !worksforme
[07:48] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[07:48] <defrysk> BrokenCrystal_, got that ?
[07:48] <Flannel> BrokenCrystal_: Thats true, but it happens often enough for us to recommend against it. Besides, anything it does is really easy to do manually.
[07:48] <BrokenCrystal_> most packages in ax are from ubuntu's on repose, a few from mediabuntu that are well tested, and a few that are compiled on the fly
[07:49] <BrokenCrystal_> on your local pc
[07:49] <defrysk> BrokenCrystal_, please....
[07:49] <BrokenCrystal_> seriously, i develope for them
[07:49] <devyll> every time I restart ubuntu iptables rules are deleted and /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward is restored from "1" to "0" !!! what can I do for iptables to remember that !?
[07:49] <BrokenCrystal_> i know what they use
[07:49] <defrysk> BrokenCrystal_, /j #automatix
[07:49] <Flannel> BrokenCrystal_: It's usually not the packages themselves, its automatix itself.
[07:49] <Deathshead> it says alreayd installed current etc...
[07:49] <Memories> so any clue why gaim closes by itself!
[07:49] <BrokenCrystal_> yep, i develop for them as I said
[07:49] <Flannel> BrokenCrystal_: anyway, this is offtopic.  Please don't recommend automatix here.
[07:50] <defrysk> Memories, no clue
[07:50] <Memories> hmm ok
[07:50] <Memories> thank you guys
[07:50] <Memories> thanks for helping out :)
[07:50] <jcboi> anyone: i have already use the 'sudo -h -R /' command
[07:50] <BrokenCrystal_> I don't, but its not the cause of most problems anymore, its better than it was when it was first started
[07:50] <jcboi> ***anyone: i have already use the 'sudo chown -h -R /' command
[07:50] <defrysk> jcboi, yes

[07:50] <maney> Tom47: I sometimes find that I have left a finger on some non-text key while pondering someting.  it may be the shift, yes - yeah, that's what it says.  help advises me to change settings in a panel ina  section that doesn't seem to exist (color me unsurprised - Gnome help is clueless 99.99% of the time)
[07:51] <Flannel> !iso | RedGhost
[07:51] <ubotu> RedGhost: 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.
[07:51] <defrysk> sudo chown -h -R <username> /path/to/folder
[07:51] <RedGhost> thanks
[07:51] <defrysk> jcboi,
[07:51] <Tok> Best way to get streaming audio to work?
[07:51] <Flannel> BrokenCrystal_: it still does stupid things, like killing dpkg.  And as such, still unsafe.  If you'd like to continue to discuss it, we can do so in #ubuntu-offtopic, but this isn't the channel for it
[07:51] <defrysk> Tok, read the guidelines ?
[07:52] <Tom47> maney maybe keep yr finger off the shift key :) ... lemme look some more
[07:52] <maney> Tom47:, nah, that's like learning to live with the cold breeze throught he broken window :-(
[07:52] <Tom47> heheheh
[07:52] <BrokenCrystal_> I do not really care if anyone uses it or not, I just want to make it known that most packages are from ubuntu itself, some compiled on the fly and mostly makes shortcuts to those installed binarys
[07:53] <SpudDogg> Deathshead: your best bet is to go get some coffee, then CRTL+F to search through www.ubuntuguide.org for things like "shared folders".  I am positive you will find what you're looking for.
[07:53] <BrokenCrystal_> it doesn't bother me at all...  if you like good, if not good
[07:53] <maney> hah!  there's something called accessibiility... uhm, now that it's popped up I forget how I got here :-/
[07:53] <defrysk> BrokenCrystal_, please give it up
[07:53] <Deathshead> you got it, thanks spudd.
[07:53] <n2diy> Flannel:  why not go to #Ubuntu-classroom, nothing is happening there, and you don't need to deal with the OT stuff?
[07:53] <tripppy> I need to transfer my wifi usb setup(drivers) to another debian based distro. how can i do this?
[07:54] <maney> Tom47: I think, yes, it must be a bug (this is a Dapper machine for now) - sticky keys is shown to be disabled already
[07:54] <BrokenCrystal_> nothing to give up, like i said, dont care
[07:54] <BrokenCrystal_> moving on
[07:54] <Flannel> n2diy: what?  Nothings happening in -offtopic either, and automatix stuff is infact -offtopic
[07:54] <BrokenCrystal_> anyone need help with anything NOT automatix?
[07:55] <n2diy> Flannel:  ok, I never spent a lot of time in OT, but it seemed to be busier than classroom. Whatever.
[07:55] <dumbledorf> Hi, I am new to Linux, trying to install ubuntu for the first time. Can anyone please tell me the differences between ubuntu and kubuntu ? Also, which version should I go for ? 6.06 or 7.0.4 ?
[07:55] <BrokenCrystal_> kubuntu is KDE, ubuntu is Gnome desktop
[07:56] <BrokenCrystal_> 7.0.4 is easiest to use
[07:56] <BrokenCrystal_> drivers and codecs are easier to get working
[07:56] <BrokenCrystal_> networking is better for wireless
[07:56] <maney> Tom47: disabling *all* [keyboard?]  accessibility seems to have cured it.  guess the bug is just w.r.t. turning off sticky keys separately.
[07:57] <n2diy> Flannel:  Nvidia, and ATI are off topic too, but supported here too. So.... whatever.
[07:58] <Flannel> n2diy: No.  Theyre not offtopic, theyre support.
[07:58] <dumbledorf> Thank you, BrokenCrystal_, I have no knowledge of KDE and GNOME, can you explain me the differences between these. which ne should I start with ?
[07:59] <relbs> what's the mechanism by which USB drives are automounted to /media/disk?
[07:59] <Flannel> dumbledorf: they have different feels.  Neither is "better" and its usually best to try each to decide which you prefer.  And the fact that you can have themboth installed makes that easy
[07:59] <Tom47> maney just turned this up .... maybe you would like to check that out too ... Ah, found it in gconf-editor:
[07:59] <n2diy> Flannel:  Nvidia, and ATI ok, so they are supported, but some stuff, like automatix isn't. That can be confusing. I'm happy with Synaptic, so I don't care. But where are the lines drawn?
[08:00] <defrysk> dumbledorf,  its a matter of preference, if you like bells and whistles go for kde if you like simplicity try Gnome , you can install both actually and have a look yourself
[08:00] <BrokenCrystal_> gnome is made for those who like simplicity and organization, while kde is geared more for a power user, but a bit cluttered and cartoonish, but this is a touchy subject and partially my opinion
[08:00] <BrokenCrystal_> I like both, but prefer gnome myself
[08:00] <BrokenCrystal_> many like kde
[08:00] <Tom47> gconf-editor /desktop/gnome/accessibility/keyboard/
[08:00] <dumbledorf> Sure, thanks, BrokenCrystal. I have decided to go for Ubuntu now..
[08:01] <Flannel> n2diy: automatix isn't supported because we've made a conscious decision not to support it.  Discussions ABOUT automatix are offtopic (because theyre not support related), just like discussions ABOUT ATI or nvidia are offtopic (like, "Hey, did you hear about ATI doing XXX and YYY?")
[08:01] <Ericc> hey guys
[08:01] <Ericc> good morning
[08:01] <_nix_> good morning
[08:01] <BrokenCrystal_> ax is unsupported, but should not be banned from conversation...
[08:01] <dumbledorf> I already have the partition set-up ready. I am running Win Xp pro on the primary partition.
[08:01] <BrokenCrystal_> hows that
[08:02] <defrysk> well its early still we'l wait and see how good this morning ends up to be.....
[08:02] <dumbledorf> Will I need a separate bootloader ?
[08:02] <Flannel> BrokenCrystal_: Again, #ubuntu-offtopic for discussions re: automatix.  Please stay on topic in this channel
[08:02] <blu3ness> hello all, I'm thinking of compiling a kernel specific for my processor architecture (sempron 32 bit, 2ghz), will I see a significant speed difference between the generic and the specific?
[08:02] <_nix_> blu3ness: yeah sure
[08:03] <vmware> what's up all?
[08:03] <defrysk> blu3ness, no
[08:03] <BrokenCrystal_> vmware, nice name...  are you running
[08:03] <john_watson> My desktop in 64bit Ubuntu:http://luckiss.blogcn.com
[08:03] <_nix_> I've compiled a machine specific kernel and I'm experiencing better speeds
[08:03] <_nix_> YMMV
[08:03] <n2diy> Flannel:  10-4
[08:03] <blu3ness> hmm i see
[08:04] <Tom47> ble3ness its unlikely that you will see worthwhile improvement really but in fairness you take yrelf beyond reasonable support if you do
[08:04] <jcboi> i am back with another question... how do i install grub manually without using livecd or alternate cd? thanks!
[08:04] <blu3ness> i hav friend running gentoo and his system spec is not better than mine, and his machine is FAST
[08:04] <blu3ness> yeah :P, just as a hobby, I find it fun to tweak around with ubuntu
[08:04] <jcboi> anyone!
[08:04] <_nix_> gentoo is the name of the fastest penguin ;-)
[08:04] <defrysk> blu3ness, if differenced could be expected Ubuntu would still have a choice of archX kernels
[08:04] <blu3ness> a lot more freedom than windows :x wish I would never hav to use windows again
[08:05] <BrokenCrystal_> maybe sudo apt-get install grub?
[08:05] <BrokenCrystal_> not sure
[08:05] <blu3ness> agreed with defrysk
[08:05] <n2diy> jcboi: can you boot the box?
[08:05] <_nix_> jcboi: you need some way to get to a shell to install grub
[08:05] <blu3ness> prob not a major boost in terms of day to day performances
[08:05] <und3ad> do you know a program for screen recording?
[08:05] <jcboi> n2diy:erm, currently, nope
[08:06] <n2diy> jcboi: ???? no idea, maybe add a second disk drive that is bootable?
[08:06] <Flannel> und3ad: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreencastTeam/RecordingScreencasts
[08:06] <dumbledorf> BrokenCrystal_, Does 7.0.4 require a 64-bit processor ? and do i need a bootloader ?
[08:06] <john_watson> My desktop show in 64bit Ubuntu:http://luckiss.blogcn.com
[08:06] <BrokenCrystal_> no
[08:06] <BrokenCrystal_> and no
[08:06] <_nix_> umbledorf: 7.04 will run on almost anything
[08:07] <dumbledorf> ok, I will download it now
[08:07] <unravel> i wish i could install feisty. feh.
[08:07] <jussi01> dumbledorf: 7.04 installs grub bootloader itself.
[08:07] <jcboi> n2diy:erm, i am currently using a windows bootloader, so i plan to install a grub on my usb hardisk(with ubuntu) so that i will boot the usb hardisk when i want ubuntu.... is it possible???
[08:07] <jussi01> unravel: why cant you?
[08:07] <smokestack> hey guys -- is there something in GNOME equivlent to the "Startup" directory in windows
[08:08] <john_watson> sessions
[08:08] <unravel> jcboi: does your BIOS support booting from USB device
[08:08] <crdlb> !autostart | smokestack
[08:08] <ubotu> smokestack: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup
[08:08] <n2diy> jcboi: I don't know, none of my boxes will boot from USB, but I am all ears now.
[08:08] <BrokenCrystal_> recordMyDesktop / gtk-recordMyDesktop
[08:08] <defrysk> smokestack, prefs > sessions
[08:08] <dumbledorf> jussi01, do i get to see the OS choices - between XP and Ubuntu after installation ?
[08:08] <smokestack> thanks guys
[08:08] <blu3ness> thank you guys, the community is what makes ubuntu truly amazing
[08:08] <jussi01> dumbledorf: yes
[08:08] <BrokenCrystal_> both packages
[08:08] <blu3ness> :P
[08:08] <unravel> jussi01:  well, it's not that i CAN'T but... i have an older laptop with an 11.2gb hard drive, and a triple boot ... no room on the drive for it
[08:08] <lilacor> How do I restart the mouse?
[08:09] <jussi01> unravel: heh ok
[08:09] <_nix_> just plug it out and plug it in
[08:09] <dumbledorf> jussi01, thank you!
[08:09] <lilacor> _nix_: no, that doesn't work
 LOL
[08:09] <BrokenCrystal_> yes, remove it and plug it back in (if its usb)
[08:09] <BrokenCrystal_> try another port
[08:09] <lilacor> BrokenCrystal_: I'm telling you it doesn't work.
 try to start gdm ?
 try to restart gdm ?*
[08:09] <unravel> i do have a usb drive but my laptop doesnt boot from usb ... and i dont want to make a single boot CD for each distro :/
[08:09] <BrokenCrystal_> ctrl-alt-backspace to log out
[08:10] <BrokenCrystal_> save everything open first
[08:10] <BrokenCrystal_> if you can
[08:10] <lilacor> Okay how do do that without killing  GDM?
[08:10] <lilacor> I can't peacefully kill vmware. :(
[08:10] <BrokenCrystal_> is it usb
[08:10] <lilacor> yes it is and I've tried multiple ports
[08:10] <Yggdrasil> ive turned on the desktop effect, and im wondering is this jsut a stripped down version of compiz? and if theres an y way to adjust some of the settings
[08:10] <BrokenCrystal_> have you tried to alt tab to vmware
[08:10] <lilacor> BrokenCrystal_: yes but it's not responding at the moment.
[08:10] <BrokenCrystal_> then use the alt keys to shut it down nicely
[08:11] <BrokenCrystal_> oh
[08:11] <lilacor> BrokenCrystal_: because I can't click on the guest's screen to send any keystrokes to it
[08:11] <BrokenCrystal_> have you tried another usb port
[08:11] <lilacor> dosbox crashed on me and it stole my mouse
[08:11] <lilacor> grr
[08:12] <lilacor> I'm going to try to run dosbox again and then release my mouse
[08:12] <BrokenCrystal_> unsure
[08:12] <BrokenCrystal_> ?
[08:12] <jcboi> n2diy: i can't even install ubuntu with the cd on my own comp, but i now have a  default installation on my usb disk
[08:12] <lilacor> nope
[08:12] <BrokenCrystal_> sorry
[08:12] <lilacor> that didn't work.
[08:12] <n2diy> I'm running Dapper here on my desktop, and sometimes it takes over a minute for the screen saver to give me control of my box. Mouse clicks, and hitting the space bar doesn't wake it up. Ideas?
[08:12] <lilacor> argh!
[08:12] <relbs> does anyone know what's the name of the mechanism by which USB drives are automounted to /media/disk?
[08:13] <BrokenCrystal_> I have been running virtual box...  right control key releases the mouse
[08:13] <n2diy> jcboi: Boot the CD, and click on the install icon, on the desktop.
[08:13] <BrokenCrystal_> vmware, havent used it in a while, forgot
[08:14] <jcboi> n2diy: i can't run the cd, my comp hangs upon loading th ubuntu screen
[08:14] <lilacor> argh!!
[08:14] <BrokenCrystal_> did you try f6 on bootup jcboi
[08:14] <n2diy> jcboi: While booting from the CD?
[08:14] <re-align> Anyone know how to get the RaLink rt2500 to use WPA under Ubuntu?
[08:14] <BrokenCrystal_> and type nolcpi
[08:15] <BrokenCrystal_> then hit enter
[08:15] <andymeows> anyone wanna play catan/pioneers?
[08:15] <lilacor> re-align: ralink makes decent open drivers...it shouldn't be too hard
[08:15] <BrokenCrystal_> does the RaLink rt2500 detect and work otherwise?
[08:15] <jcboi> brokencrystal_:f6? , n2diy: i can't boot up ubuntu... it just loves to hang on my comp when using cd, that is why i am looking for alernative ways to install grub
[08:15] <re-align> Yeah, it's running fine except for WPA
[08:16] <re-align> Otherwise I wouldn't be here...
[08:16] <_nix_> jcboi: are you using a live cd?
[08:16] <_nix_> jcboi: when it hangs
[08:16] <BrokenCrystal_> left click on the network icon, select network, should prompt for wpa password, may also need to enter keyring password (different from wpa)
[08:16] <BrokenCrystal_> and save it in keyring
[08:16] <n2diy> jcboi: Have you tried the boot options, like nodma, noacpi etc...?
[08:16] <BrokenCrystal_> n2diy is right
[08:17] <BrokenCrystal_> try these things while booting
[08:17] <BrokenCrystal_> also nolpci
[08:17] <BrokenCrystal_> one at a time
[08:17] <lilacor> ARGH! does anyone know how to restart just the mouse daemon??
[08:17] <re-align> i'm not running my network in WPA yet,  want to get it working here first.
[08:17] <BrokenCrystal_> after all the other text that is on the line already after pushing F6
[08:18] <lilacor> man...finally got my vm shutdown...
[08:18] <blu3ness> has anyone had the problem of hibernation/suspend does not work with fglrx driver enabled? (ati card, compaq presario laptop) My laptop just blanks out upon resume.
[08:18] <jcboi> n2diy:i guess i am using an alternate cd...i see a screen with various options.....
[08:18] <BrokenCrystal_> left click on network icon in feisty and select the network, might need to reboot first though after you set up the network
[08:18] <_nix_> lilacor: there should be a command like xset
[08:18] <BrokenCrystal_> if you are running feisty
[08:18] <jcboi> do i press f6 and just type them in?
[08:19] <n2diy> jcboi: Try the options! BrokenCrystal_, thanks for the flowers. :)
[08:19] <jcboi> i am running feisty
[08:19] <BrokenCrystal_> if you change settings in the router, I would suggest rebooting ubuntu before trying
[08:19] <BrokenCrystal_> np
[08:19] <jcboi> ok..i am off to try
[08:19] <lilacor> _nix_: I'm pretty sure that's not for the mouse
[08:19] <jcboi> see ya.... thanks
[08:19] <BrokenCrystal_> np
[08:19] <n2diy> jcboi: GL
[08:20] <re-align> Hmm...running Feisty...and have no network icon  in the tray (next to the clock)...
[08:20] <re-align> which program was that supposed to be?
[08:20] <BrokenCrystal_> really...  nothing that says wired connection?
[08:21] <BrokenCrystal_> not on my ubuntu pc right now...  or I would look
[08:21] <BrokenCrystal_> this is off the top of my head
[08:21] <re-align> I've  been using the System > Administration > Network to connenct.
[08:21] <lilacor> does anyone know how to restart the usb subsystem?
[08:21] <n2diy> re-align: look in System-services-network, or network services.
[08:22] <cry0x> re-align, NetworkManager
[08:23] <n2diy> re-align: correction, try system-admin
[08:23] <re-align> Yep, that's what I thought...
[08:23] <BrokenCrystal_> sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome
[08:23] <hendaus> hiya
[08:23] <quad3d> .
[08:23] <BrokenCrystal_> that will do it
[08:23] <re-align> network-manager doesn't work for me. It hates me.

[08:36] <hendaus> BrokenCrystal_:  but after i click apps i cant see ktorrent
[08:36] <hendaus> BrokenCrystal_:  /root/.kde/share/apps <-- i am here
[08:36] <BrokenCrystal_> maybe its not there...
[08:36] <gnome06> Xenguy :  bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See http://procps.sf.net/faq.html
[08:36] <Xenguy> gnome06: er, ps aux |grep apache
[08:36] <BrokenCrystal_> make the directory
[08:36] <n2diy> hendaus: can you run it from a command line?
[08:37] <gnome06> Ok it's seem installed and start
[08:37] <gnome06> :(
[08:37] <BrokenCrystal_> make the full path, that may help...  maybe the path it needs is just not there
[08:37] <lenny> do you know another colour-picker (for linux) to replace colorzilla add-on?
[08:37] <gnome06> is there a log somewhere to search the problem ?
[08:37] <hendaus> BrokenCrystal_:  ok but tell me how to make the directory and path
[08:37] <BrokenCrystal_> new folder
[08:37] <shamus> I just started using ubuntu today, and im wondering if i can install like steam and play Counter strike on ubuntu, is this possible?
[08:37] <Xenguy> gnome06: see /var/log/apache...
[08:38] <hendaus> yes
[08:38] <Tom47> !steam
[08:38] <ubotu> Steam can be found at: http://www.steampowered.com/
[08:38] <shamus> how?
[08:38] <FreedomFighter> Rumor has it how is setting up RAID in ubuntu, shamus
[08:38] <gnome06> tks Xenguy
[08:38] <Xenguy> np
[08:38] <BrokenCrystal_> not a kde guy, so I can only tell you general info about the linux file system
[08:38] <mnk0> n2diy: any other idea?S
[08:38] <BrokenCrystal_> and permissions
[08:38] <BrokenCrystal_> just make a folder and that is the directory
[08:38] <BrokenCrystal_> then put each folder into the next in a path
[08:38] <n2diy> mnk0: what happened when you ran Grub-install?
[08:39] <BrokenCrystal_> one at a time
[08:39] <zak_> [off-topic, sorry]  i know it's not really enforcable, but is it illegal to enter false details when e.g. registering to download a trial edition of some software?
[08:39] <mnk0> did u see that error msg i posted?
[08:39] <mnk0> couldn not find device for /boot: Nof found or not a block device
[08:39] <re-align> Meh, that's not gonna work for my card I don't think...:/
[08:40] <gnome06> Xenguy : error.log is empty :(
[08:40] <hendaus> BrokenCrystal_: ok i creat /root/.kde/share/apps/ktorrent/tor1
[08:40] <Xenguy> gnome06: I think I arrived too late to catch the original problem - what is your main issue?
[08:40] <BrokenCrystal_> not tor1
[08:40] <BrokenCrystal_> that is a file I believe
[08:40] <BrokenCrystal_> delete that one
[08:40] <hendaus> ok
[08:40] <gnome06> I try to install a LAMP server
[08:41] <BrokenCrystal_> try to run the program now
[08:41] <gnome06> i have followed the guide on ubuntu-fr (i'm french)
[08:41] <BrokenCrystal_> see if it works
[08:41] <gnome06> i have check all
[08:41] <gnome06> i have succefuly do it on other PC
[08:41] <hendaus> ok let me see
[08:41] <gnome06> but with this one if I type 127.0.0.1 there is NOTHING :(
[08:41] <Tom47> shamus you may get some ideas from http://linux.wordpress.com/2007/02/07/wine-gaming-steam-half-life-half-life-2-counter-strike-source-and-16/
[08:41] <n2diy> mnk0: can you boot the machine into rescue mode?
[08:41] <mnk0> yeah
[08:42] <mnk0> im in rescue mode now
[08:42] <Xenguy> gnome06: is there a firewall installed?
[08:42] <shamus> thanks
[08:42] <mnk0> well .. actually im on the ubuntu live CD
[08:42] <n2diy> mnk0: ok, do so.
[08:42] <mnk0> im there
[08:42] <jcboi> hello guys
[08:42] <mnk0> im on lapotp there
[08:42] <mnk0> here
[08:42] <gnome06> mum....i'm checking
[08:42] <n2diy> mnk0: and address my nick in your replies, so the stand out, ok?
[08:43] <n2diy> the/they
[08:43] <gnome06> I have firestarter : but i was OFF
[08:43] <jcboi> n2diy:i still can't load the cd
[08:43] <mnk0> n2diy: ok sorry
[08:43] <BrokenCrystal_> what are you trying to load jcboi
[08:44] <mnk0> n2diy:  so im booted in the ubuntu installer and i got a terminal up
[08:44] <BrokenCrystal_> still trying to load the ubuntu cd
[08:44] <BrokenCrystal_> ?
[08:44] <Xenguy> gnome06: also check /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny -- those are the only things I can think of that would cause a problem with apache on localhost
[08:44] <t1n0m3n> Hi, I just installed Kubuntu, and I have a couple of questions...  One that is most pressing is, how do I change the MTU size of my network stack and still use networkmanager?  The pre-up method makes networkmanager not work... thanks
[08:44] <n2diy> mnk0: so you can't boot from the cd?
[08:44] <mnk0> n2diy: sda1 == winxp, sda2 = /, sda3 = /home
[08:44] <BrokenCrystal_> did you try F6 then type nolcpi and hit <enter>
[08:44] <jcboi> brokencrystal:yes
[08:44] <Xenguy> gnome06: can you ping localhost ?
[08:44] <n2diy> mnk0: Ok
[08:44] <mnk0> n2diy:  i just said im booted from the ubuntu install scd
[08:44] <gnome06> tks Xenguy
[08:45] <jcboi> brokencrystal:yes n2diy: jcboi also can't boot the cd... :)
[08:45] <n2diy> mnk0: yea, and before that you said you couldn't, keep your pants on! :)
[08:45] <BrokenCrystal_> oh
[08:46] <mnk0> heh
[08:46] <jcboi> brokencrystal, n2diy: i am using amd sempron, does that addects?
[08:46] <gnome06> ping Ok !
[08:46] <n2diy> mnk0: You're running scsi drives?
[08:46] <mnk0> n2diy: im not sure.. i dont think so
[08:46] <BrokenCrystal_> maybe you need to do a bug report with ubuntu...  sempron shouldn't matter
[08:46] <PurpZeY> If I save an Ogg file, but I wanted to send it to a windows user, what extension do I give it?
[08:47] <Xenguy> PurpZeY: .ogg ?
[08:47] <n2diy> mnk0: Well Ubuntu thinks you are, IDE drives show up as HDX, and SCSI drives as SDX.
[08:47] <t1n0m3n> PurpZeY  - Windows should play ogg files too right?
[08:47] <BrokenCrystal_> mostly the way your mobo is set up and the chipset, video bus, memory bus and such
[08:47] <jcboi> brokencrystal: is there anyway to load grub onto a mbr on a drive without having to run the cds?
[08:47] <Xenguy> PurpZeY: audio or video ?
[08:47] <PurpZeY> Xenguy: For some reason on my ubuntu box it is saving them without extensions.
[08:47] <chainlynx> t1n0m3n: depends on the player
[08:47] <PurpZeY> Xenguy: Video.
[08:47] <Xenguy> PurpZeY: just rename (mv) the filename then
[08:48] <BrokenCrystal_> if you do a bug report, they will ask you to type a few things in a terminal so they can anylize it, you would need to keep checking back
[08:48] <Xenguy> PurpZeY: I am only used to audio ogg files
[08:48] <BrokenCrystal_> jcboi, not sure about that
[08:48] <t1n0m3n> chainlynx  : I thought it depended on the codec
[08:48] <n2diy> mnk0: what does lshw tell you about your hard drives?
[08:48] <jcboi> hhm, where can i submit the bug report?
[08:48] <BrokenCrystal_> you want to repair the mbr
[08:48] <PurpZeY> I am having a problem, b/c I am trying to create oogs, and when *I* play them back, I can't see anything, unless I resize the window...If I resize the window as it plays, I see the image...I was thinking my friend on windows might test it.
[08:48] <Frogzoo> !launchpad | jcboi
[08:48] <ubotu> jcboi: launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's Bounty and Bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/
[08:49] <BrokenCrystal_> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs
[08:49] <PurpZeY> Maybe someone has some idea as to why my ogg is behaving like that in the first place.
[08:49] <chainlynx> t1n0m3n: well that too... depends on how nicely all those different factors play together... if you have support for the codec installed, and if the player you're using implements support for that codec
[08:49] <n2diy> mnk0: what does lshw tell you about your hard drives, and hard drive controller?
[08:49] <mnk0> n2diy: shows quite a bit of stuff
[08:49] <PurpZeY> chainlynx: Do you happen to have any idea what would cause that problem in playback in ubuntu?
[08:50] <mnk0> theres a scsi driver at end for usb-stoarge
[08:50] <n2diy> mnk0: roger that! :)
[08:50] <chainlynx> i have no idea
[08:50] <chainlynx> it appears that the ogg file is fine, right? seems like a player issue to me
[08:50] <zak_> PurpZeY: i think that's a bug/issue with totem when using X composite extension... it was doing that to me with all my videos until i disabled the X composite manager... but maybe this isn't the same cause as your problem
[08:51] <n2diy> mnk0: ingnore the usb, they always come up as SDX.
[08:51] <PurpZeY> zak_: What does the X composite manager do?
[08:51] <liuzhonghe> hello everyone!
[08:51] <liuzhonghe> anyone here?
[08:51] <zak_> PurpZeY: allow translucency and such... perhaps if you have Beryl or another eye-candy system installed something similar is happening?
[08:51] <orb_> liuzhonghe, do /names
[08:51] <gnomefreak> !anyone | liuzhonghe
[08:51] <ubotu> liuzhonghe: 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?
[08:52] <PurpZeY> zak_: Curious...I am in fact...I am trying to get a video cap of my beryl desktop....
[08:52] <mnk0> n2diy: ok,
[08:52] <n2diy> liuzhonghe: no, all 1089 of us are sleeping, sorry. :)
[08:52] <liuzhonghe> 
[08:53] <t1n0m3n> I need to figure out how to set IF MTU and still use networkmanager.  pre-up breaks networkmanager as far as I can tell
[08:53] <zak_> PurpZeY: haha... well yeah i'd imagine that might be your problem... perhaps changing totem's settings or trying a different player would work?
[08:53] <Tom47> cannot install vmware-server due to prev installation but unable to purge it
[08:53] <gnomefreak> liuzhonghe: english
[08:53] <PurpZeY> zek_: Got it...Got a recommended player?
[08:53] <jxxxt> luizhonge: not many would understand
[08:53] <Tom47> !ch
[08:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ch - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:54] <jcboi> liuzhonghe:i guess, most people speak english here(????????????)
[08:54] <jxxxt> !cn
[08:54] <ubotu> For Ubuntu help in Chinese  #ubuntu-cn  #ubuntu-tw   #ubuntu-hk
[08:54] <BrokenCrystal_> I better go
[08:54] <Tom47> ahhh :)
[08:54] <zak_> PurpZeY: i'm not really sure.. KDE's kaffeine works around it, but there's probably another gnome player that will work
[08:54] <BrokenCrystal_> nite everyone
[08:54] <n2diy> BrokenCrystal_: 73
[08:54] <jxxxt> tom47;hee hee
[08:55] <ferronica> can anyone help me regarding cairo-dock???
[08:55] <Captain_Haddock> !wine
[08:55] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[08:55] <BrokenCrystal_> I have used cairo-dock
[08:55] <gnomefreak> ferronica: your best bet is to check forums on that
[08:56] <BrokenCrystal_> recently switched to awn and affinity
[08:56] <gnomefreak> BrokenCrystal_: your sleeping ;)
[08:56] <ferronica> BrokenCrystal_: hi
[08:56] <BrokenCrystal_> much better
[08:56] <n2diy> BrokenCrystal_: 73
[08:56] <BrokenCrystal_> awn and affinity are much more stable, progressed
[08:56] <jxxxt> Captain_Haddock: you may want #winehq
[08:57] <ferronica> BrokenCrystal_: when i move mouse over cairo-dock just floating names shown up without ICONS
[08:57] <BrokenCrystal_> ok , sorry, going now, laptop is on my nightstand, couldnt help myself
[08:57] <n2diy> BrokenCrystal_: 73
[08:57] <BrokenCrystal_> you need to drag icons from your desktop to it
[08:57] <PurpZeY> !info ffmpeg
[08:57] <ubotu> ffmpeg: multimedia player, server and encoder. In component universe, is optional. Version 3:0.cvs20060823-3.1ubuntu4 (feisty), package size 176 kB, installed size 620 kB
[08:57] <Captain_Haddock> jxxxt: thanks mate. I was checking to see if Wine works on x64.
[08:57] <Captain_Haddock> No mention of it, so I guess so
[08:57] <BrokenCrystal_> recomment try affinity and avant window navigator
[08:58] <BrokenCrystal_> much nicer
[08:58] <BrokenCrystal_> nite
[08:58] <ferronica> BrokenCrystal_: i am talking about cairo-dock not AWN
[08:58] <n2diy> BrokenCrystal_: 73
[08:58] <jxxxt> Captain_Haddock:  Yeah 64 is a bit og a prob with wine
[08:58] <Kjellviz> mornin
[08:58] <jxxxt> of
[08:58] <gnomefreak> ferronica: go to the forums for help or try #ubuntu-effects or #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:58] <Kjellviz> are there any email clients for ubuntu that has native support for hotmail ?
[08:59] <Captain_Haddock> Kjellviz: is that a trick question?
[08:59] <BrokenCrystal_> beryl forums talk of kiba-dock and kiba-dock is built on cairo-dock
[08:59] <Captain_Haddock> jxxxt: ah :(
[08:59] <loreweaver> how do i find my boot message in ubuntu to copy paste in forum?
[08:59] <BrokenCrystal_> ok, im out
[08:59] <Captain_Haddock> Biggest mistake I made was installing the 64 bit version :/
[08:59] <Kjellviz> Captain_Haddock: no, why would it ?
[09:00] <t1n0m3n> is there a channel for networkmanager on ubuntu?
[09:00] <Captain_Haddock> Kjellviz: Seems very odd.. Does hotmail offer POP support?
[09:00] <n2diy> loreweaver: they are in /var/log/demsg, or something like that.
[09:00] <stealth47> hello, novice here, just want to know how can i mount my USB flash disk on Ubuntu 6.10? thanks
[09:00] <_nix_> loreweaver: try dmesg | less
[09:00] <gnomefreak> loreweaver: take a look in /var/log  for a log of the boot message
[09:00] <Kjellviz> Captain_Haddock: not for free, if id pay id have pop/imap support
[09:00] <gnomefreak> stealth47: plug it in
[09:00] <jxxxt> Captain_Haddock:  I made the same mistake then woke up and installed the 32 bit back works heaps better
[09:01] <Captain_Haddock> Kjellviz: so you're after some kinda scraper program?
[09:01] <Captain_Haddock> jxxxt: heh
[09:01] <Foon> you can get a scraper for thunderbird
[09:01] <Kjellviz> Captain_Haddock: dunno what a scraper program is, what i want is something like outlook that will let me add my hotmail account and view my messages
[09:01] <und3ad> how can i make & argument working on ubuntu... because if i run programs from console with & argument and then i close the console... all programs are closing... :-s
[09:01] <stealth47> gnomefreak: it doesn't work sir.
[09:02] <Foon> Kjellviz: a scraper is something that reads a web page normally but interprets it as e-mail for your e-mail client
[09:02] <panzer> anyone here familiar with CK or Reconstructor?
[09:02] <panzer> UCK*
[09:03] <PurpZeY> How do I pull up the man or help for an application?
[09:03] <Kjellviz> Foon: aha, well that sounds bout correct yes
[09:03] <Foon> the extension I use has scraper capability in it, but my hotmail account is old, so I can get my e-mail through webDAV services :)
[09:03] <gnomefreak> stealth47: have you done any updates just before you plugged it in?
[09:03] <Kjellviz> and i just found one for thunderbird as mentioned
[09:03] <Captain_Haddock> Kjellviz: http://lifehacker.com/software/hotmail/check-hotmail-using-thunderbird-34583.php
[09:03] <gnomefreak> stealth47: did you have it plugged in while you booted
[09:03] <Captain_Haddock> First result on Google :)
[09:03] <n2diy> PurpZeY: open a terminal, and type "man appname"
[09:03] <Kjellviz> thats the one i found yes :P
[09:03] <Captain_Haddock> that didn't work?
[09:03] <PurpZeY> n2diy: thanks
[09:03] <Kjellviz> installing thunderbird now :)
[09:04] <Captain_Haddock> good good :)
[09:04] <n2diy> PurpZeY: nada
[09:04] <ahhh_fosco> how do i change my firewall settings?
[09:04] <Foon> Kjellviz: try out the Webmail extension available for Thunderbird
[09:04] <stealth47> gnomefreak: no sir, u mean during startup?
[09:04] <gnomefreak> stealth47: yes
[09:04] <n2diy> ahhh_fosco: very carefully!
[09:04] <stealth47> thanks
[09:04] <Kjellviz> Foon: im just about to do that. =)
[09:05] <Foon> :)
[09:05] <t1n0m3n> I am trying to get cisco vpn to work on ubuntu, any help, or direction would be appreciated
[09:05] <n2diy> ahhh_fosco: check out Firestarter.
[09:05] <gnomefreak> stealth47: you dont want to start up with it plugged in
[09:05] <gnomefreak> oh well
[09:06] <und3ad> how can i make & argument working on ubuntu... because if i run programs from console with & argument and then i close the console... all programs are closing... :-s
[09:06] <loreweaver> I have a problem with my wireless (ath0). I got it working with my WPA2, AES, hidden SSID config accordingly based on the forum. However, whenever i want to get the connection up, i need to invoke "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" twice before my ath0 can get DHCPOFFER. On first attempt it always goes to sleep after couple of DHCPREQUEST.
[09:06] <KromiX> hey guys dumb noob question i forgot (sorry new user), where is that file you can edit to have 'shortcuts' for things in the command line, instead of typing /usr/local/etc/blah.sh u can just type blah and it will auto insert the whole line?
[09:06] <chainlynx> .bashrc
[09:06] <KromiX> ahh yes
[09:06] <KromiX> ;P
[09:06] <KromiX> lol sorry :P
[09:07] <n2diy> KromiX: ~/.bashrc
[09:07] <und3ad> KromiX: read about alias
[09:07] <t1n0m3n> Correction: Kubuntu, and I don't have issues with cisco vpn itself, I just cant seem to set the mtu and be able to use networkmanager at the same time
[09:07] <bluefox83> !pidgin
[09:07] <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.
[09:08] <bluefox83> D:
[09:08] <bluefox83> wait, why aren't they putting it in backports?
[09:08] <KromiX> alias ;P yup i got it already edited what i needed thanks!
[09:08] <hendaus> BrokenCrystal_:  back i got the same error
[09:08] <KromiX> oh and 1 more question is there any channels for support TwonkVision's Media Server for ubuntu/linux ?
[09:08] <BrokenCrystal_> you can install pidgin im in ubuntu feisty, download packages from getdeb.net
[09:09] <gnomefreak> bluefox83: one reason may be due to its nothing really that new just name
[09:09] <withoutaclue> hello
[09:09] <jcboi> erm,just asking... i am using sempron and i read on the net that there are two types of sempron, one supporting 32 bit and the other, 64 bit... how do i check?

[09:10] <Kjellviz> need to install thunderbird manually ><
[09:10] <BrokenCrystal_> yea,
[09:10] <gnomefreak> hendaus: that would be home not root
[09:10] <Kjellviz> =P
[09:10] <BrokenCrystal_> yes, home or ~/
[09:10] <n2diy> BrokenCrystal_: RR, then 73 to you, for the last time from me. ;)
[09:10] <hendaus> i make this, but still tor1/cache/07.DAT
[09:10] <gnomefreak> Kjellviz: sudo apt-get install mozilla-thunderbird
[09:11] <BrokenCrystal_> ok, do tor1/cache, but not sure about 07.dat
[09:11] <jscinoz> Hey guys. for some reason my laptop's fan never runs when i'm under Ubuntu, is there something i need to change to enable ACPI and thus, fan control?
[09:11] <Kjellviz> gnomefreak: sure it will install 2.0 and not 1.5 then ?
[09:11] <bluefox83> gnomefreak, actually they released pidgin 2.0.1 and it contains like over a hundred bug fixes...not to mention you can't get support for gaim anymore...
[09:11] <Kjellviz> cos i get 1.5 from ubuntu repos
[09:12] <BrokenCrystal_> n2diy, thanks, lol  nite, and thanks again
[09:12] <gnomefreak> Kjellviz: 1.5 unless your using my repo
[09:12] <Kjellviz> well i need >2.0
[09:12] <t1n0m3n> Does anyone know how to erase this porn off of my wife's computer?  She is due home in fifteen minutes.

[09:14] <gnomefreak> t1n0m3n: join #ubuntu-offtopic please
[09:14] <BrokenCrystal_> Install the Debian menu. The Debian menu has a much more thorough list of your installed applications, and it will be available as a category in your existing Applications menu. You need to install the package called menu-xdg and possibly restart X (ctrl + alt + backspace) for it to show up.
[09:14] <trippen> gnomefreak i have those installed.. and it has nothing to do with automatix other then that script isnt working.. so whats the manuel way to enable that menu ?
[09:14] <jxxxt> agreed
[09:14] <gnomefreak> Kjellviz: ofcourse thats the only way to test it for gutsy and for backports
[09:14] <Captain_Haddock> devyll: logs are usually in /var/log
[09:15] <trippen> BrokenCrystal_ i have tried that also.. and still no menu ?
[09:15] <Captain_Haddock> devyll: there's also a logviewer available
[09:15] <Kjellviz> gnomefreak: and how do i install it from your repo ? =P
[09:15] <n2diy> BrokenCrystal_: Never mind, connection is slow here. Google 73 ham radio. Later, err I mean 73. :)
[09:15] <joycetick> hi, if i copy all the contents of my home/user directory to an external hdd, format ubuntu and copy those files back in, will i have all the programs/settings i had before?
[09:15] <t1n0m3n> gnomefreak: I am trying to get a question answered here that no one can answer... sorry just having fun
[09:15] <gnomefreak> trippen: your right but they give you debian menu. as i said join #automatix. we dont support it
[09:15] <gnomefreak> !moztest > Kjellviz  |see your pm
[09:15] <BrokenCrystal_> that is from here  http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/
[09:15] <BrokenCrystal_> ham radio
[09:15] <gnomefreak> t1n0m3n: than i suggest you stop trolling and ask the question
[09:15] <trippen> gnomefreak  im not looking for automatix support.. im looking for ubuntu support.. i did it before with out automatix i just dont remember where i found the guide for it
[09:15] <Kjellviz> gnomefreak: thanks =)
[09:16] <BrokenCrystal_> if you copy home directory, you will have settings, not programs
[09:16] <BrokenCrystal_> but the settings for the programs
[09:16] <BrokenCrystal_> should be there
[09:16] <hendaus> BrokenCrystal_: what can i do then , coz i am newbie
[09:16] <joycetick> BrokenCrystal_: ok, any way to backup the programs too? to save having to redownload htem
[09:16] <t1n0m3n> gnomefreak: I have asked at least 3 times... I need to set MTU size on and interface and use networkmanager at the same time
[09:16] <BrokenCrystal_> yep
[09:16] <gnomefreak> trippen: than why did you comment have automatix in it. you stated automatix needs the debian menu
[09:17] <BrokenCrystal_> I suggest writing a script to do it for you in bash
[09:17] <hendaus> yes please
[09:17] <BrokenCrystal_> then you only need to run that when you do a clean install and restore your home directory
[09:17] <trippen> gnomefreak  um.. i mentioned that so no one says.. go install automatix and have it do it for ya.. i want to know the manuel way to enable the debain menu under the applications dropdown
[09:17] <devyll> Captain_Haddock: what log viewer ?
[09:17] <t1n0m3n> gnomefreak: the pre-up method breaks networkmanager
[09:17] <BrokenCrystal_> usr/bin is mostly installed programs
[09:18] <BrokenCrystal_> ok, 73
[09:18] <BrokenCrystal_> lol
[09:18] <joycetick> BrokenCrystal_: so a script that downloads all the programs i had installed?
[09:18] <BrokenCrystal_> yep
[09:18] <BrokenCrystal_> someone here can help you with that I am sure
[09:18] <gnomefreak> trippen: install menu and menu-xdg restart gnome panels
[09:18] <trippen> gnomefreak  how do i restart the gnome panels..
[09:18] <gnomefreak> trippen: i told you that already you stated you had those
[09:19] <Phat420> ! motu > Phat420
[09:19] <Captain_Haddock> devyll: in Kubuntu, it's ksystemlog. Not sure in Gnome..
[09:19] <gnomefreak> trippen: either log out or open terminal and type kill all gnome-panels
[09:19] <gnomefreak> oops
[09:19] <BrokenCrystal_> basicly just a bash script that has a bunch of sudo apt-get install whatevers in it and a few repo and key additions
[09:19] <gnomefreak> trippen: its killsll gnome-panels
[09:19] <Kjellviz> gnomefreak: allrite have added your repo, but how do i force it to install from yours and not mozillas repo ?
[09:19] <trippen> ive rebooted and loged out several times ... still no luck with the menu showing up..
[09:20] <Kjellviz> (im new to linux yes)
[09:20] <jcboi> erm,just asking... i am using sempron and i read on the net that there are two types of sempron, one supporting 32 bit and the other, 64 bit... how do i check?
[09:20] <BrokenCrystal_> http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/
[09:20] <gnomefreak> Kjellviz: what mozilla repos?
[09:20] <BE|clocks> Hi there.
[09:20] <gnomefreak> Kjellviz: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[09:20] <hendaus> BrokenCrystal_: but why you didnot tell me what to do?
[09:20] <BrokenCrystal_> mozilla firefox is in ubuntu's repo
[09:20] <premier_> hello, I have a DV in 6 pin firewire from a game console (going through an analog to digital converter).  Windows considers this a camcorder... how can I view the video?
[09:20] <Kjellviz> ohh sry ubuntu repos
[09:21] <gnomefreak> Kjellviz: it should upgrade it. if not than sudo apt-get install thunderbird
[09:21] <BrokenCrystal_> what do you mean hendaus?
[09:21] <trippen> gnomefreak  i typed kill gnome-panels and it said .. something about needs job id
[09:21] <Kjellviz> ye its using your repo now =)
[09:21] <Kjellviz> thanks
[09:21] <gnomefreak> trippen: killall gnome-panels
[09:21] <gnomefreak> Kjellviz: if you need help with that repo or packages in it ask in #ubuntu-mozillateam
[09:21] <trippen> it said no process killed
[09:21] <hendaus> BrokenCrystal_:  i mean tell me what can i do to make a permision for that file
[09:22] <Kjellviz> gnomefreak: ok, well it seems to be installing just fine now =)
[09:22] <gnomefreak> Kjellviz: btw it may be going down shortly so i can regen the files im uploading newest firefox-trunk and thunderbird update
[09:22] <gnomefreak> s
[09:23] <SeveredCross> Will Thunderbird 2 make it to feisty-backports?
[09:23] <BrokenCrystal_> I do not know what kind of file it is?  The best I can say is make a blank (empty) file and name it the same, but I really don't know what kind of file it is.
[09:23] <gnomefreak> SeveredCross: yes not sure when yet
[09:23] <t1n0m3n> I am trying to get cisco vpn to work on ubuntu, any help, or direction would be appreciated.  I need to set the MTU size on the interface, and the pre-up method breaks networkmanager
[09:23] <BrokenCrystal_> a .dat file sounds like a plane text file, but you never really know
[09:23] <gnomefreak> SeveredCross: we have to wait for the 1.5 branch to end support. its looking like august or sept
[09:23] <SeveredCross> If you need to find what the filetype of something is, use the file command.
[09:23] <SeveredCross> So, file filename
[09:23] <PurpZeY> !glx
[09:23] <trippen> gnomefreak it said no process killed
[09:23] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about glx - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:24] <SeveredCross> !xgl
[09:24] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[09:24] <gnomefreak> trippen: your on gnome?
[09:24] <SeveredCross> Aha.
[09:24] <PurpZeY> SeveredCross: Thank you.
[09:24] <BrokenCrystal_> My suggestion is to make a blank file and name it whatever.dat and see what happens
[09:24] <trippen> gnomefreak yes its my one and only desktop
[09:24] <hendaus> BrokenCrystal_:  ok lets do it tommorow
[09:24] <BrokenCrystal_> make sure you have permissions
[09:24] <SeveredCross> You're welcome PurpZeY.
[09:24] <gnomefreak> trippen: log out than
[09:24] <BrokenCrystal_> nite
[09:24] <trippen> gnomefreak  that doesnt work either.. nor does alt-cntl-bksp
[09:24] <gnomefreak> your not typing it right or leave off the s at the end
[09:24] <hendaus> BrokenCrystal_:  thanx very much, good night
[09:24] <gnomefreak> trippen: you cant log out?
[09:25] <PurpZeY> How can I verify all the packages installed on my system?
[09:25] <trippen> gnomefreak i can log out.. but no matter how many times i restart that menu does not show up
[09:25] <SeveredCross> PurpZeY: Verify....how?
[09:26] <PurpZeY> SeveredCross: Just to get a list, I mean...So I could grep the list if I was looking for something particular
[09:26] <SeveredCross> Oh. Sure, there's a list:
[09:26] <SeveredCross> dpkg -l
[09:26] <gnomefreak> trippen: menu and menu-xdg packages are all you need for it. it will show up under accessories menu it will say debian. automatix should not need this menu for anything to begin with.
[09:26] <trippen> gnomefreak i took the S off and it killed it.. then it restarted.. and still nothing
[09:26] <trippen> automatix doesnt need it.. i need it..
[09:26] <SeveredCross> dpkg -l | grep blah
[09:26] <gnomefreak> trippen: than you dont have both those packages installed
[09:26] <trippen> gnomefreak  lets pretend i never said anything about automatix.. and that i have installed both of those packages and its still not showing up..
[09:27] <Cobain> any idea why gnome's workspace switch applet wont switch my beryl desktops anymore
[09:27] <reaper> can anyone tell me how to get my broadcom 4311 wireless g card working on ubuntu? for some reason it wont detect it and ive searched forum after forum for 3 days now trying to get the wireless card installed and working. any help would be greatful
[09:28] <sahil> Cobain maybe beryl is not on, right click and go to select window manager and see what is selected there
[09:28] <Cobain> beryl is on
[09:28] <Cobain> if i ctrl alt left it switches
[09:28] <jxxxt> reaper: ubuntu forums have a broadcom howto
[09:28] <gnomefreak> trippen: well i suggest you install the 2 apps i told you to and it will show up. if not i cant help you without all the info or atleast a question with the correct info.
[09:29] <isidoro> Hi
[09:29] <Se1> Heyyy
[09:29] <Se1> What's up everyone.
[09:29] <trippen> gnomefreak both of the packages are installed..
[09:29] <BrokenCrystal_> broadcom firmware cutter
[09:29] <BrokenCrystal_> this works great
[09:29] <reaper> tried the firmware cutter for some reason its not working
[09:29] <Cobain> then you're not doing it right
[09:29] <sahil> Cobain then what exactly is the problem
[09:30] <reaper> ive done it about 800 times
[09:30] <gnomefreak> trippen: they are both installed here and it works great. if you are running anything other than feisty or edgy than it might be different
[09:30] <isidoro> I got this: Ubuntu 7.04 with kernel 2.6.20-15 ships with a kernel built with CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND whic apparently breaks the libusb support that I need for my garmin... do you something about it??
[09:30] <BrokenCrystal_> just search for it in synaptic, this will configure your broadcom wireless for you
[09:30] <BrokenCrystal_> and it will 'Just work"
[09:30] <gnomefreak> isidoro: the kernel was just upgraded
[09:30] <Cobain> sahil: if i click anything in the work space switcher it changes to a different gnome desktop.. so basically i have a cube for 4 workspaces..
[09:30] <Se1> Woah... I see everyone's pretty busy. Still, I would just like to ask a quick question.
[09:30] <trippen> gnomefreak  pretty much a freash install of FAWN .. 32 bit..
[09:31] <reaper> even on ubuntu 6.06?
[09:31] <t1n0m3n> sel: shoot
[09:31] <isidoro> gnomefreak: what that means it is not true??
[09:31] <gnomefreak> isidoro: atleas tthey have been pushed not sure if they made it to end user yet
[09:31] <sahil> Cobain that's how its supposed to be
[09:31] <reaper> and exacally what do i need to search for to be sure i get the right thing
[09:31] <BrokenCrystal_> broadcom cutter
[09:31] <Cobain> the workspace switch used to switch the sides of the cube
[09:31] <gnomefreak> isidoro: i never said its not true to you.
[09:31] <Cobain> now i have 16 desktops.. kinda much
[09:31] <reaper> ok let me take a look
[09:31] <gnomefreak> isidoro: i said it was upgraded and pushed not sure if it hit end users yet
[09:32] <BrokenCrystal_> and answer yes when it asks
[09:32] <isidoro> gnomefreak: ok I am end users how can I fix?
[09:32] <sahil> Cobain go into the beryl settings manager
[09:32] <gnomefreak> isidoro: upgrade!!!
[09:32] <sahil> general options
[09:32] <gnomefreak> isidoro: if its not there yet WAIT for it to get there
[09:32] <sahil> Cobain scroll down to where it says number of desktops
[09:33] <Cobain> you rock
[09:33] <Se1> Well, I'm running Gaim from the instalation trial cd :D I would like to get some help partitioning the drives I have. The online documentation isn't clear enough :(
[09:33] <trippen> gnomefreak  i just reinstalled both of those packages and restarted the gnome-panel and still no menu.. any other ways of getting it enabled..
[09:33] <isidoro> gnomefreak: this is my kernel 2.6.20-15-lowlatency
[09:33] <gnomefreak> trippen: did you try enabling it in menu editor although you shouldnt have to
[09:33] <trippen> gnomefreak whats the menu editor .. how do i start that up
[09:33] <BrokenCrystal_> right click on the menu
[09:34] <BrokenCrystal_> edit menu
[09:34] <gnomefreak> isidoro: 2.6.20-16 will be out in next week or so if its not already there
[09:34] <t1n0m3n> sel: OK, I like partitioning.  :)  what are you having issues with?
[09:34] <BrokenCrystal_> if its checked, uncheck it, and recheck it
[09:34] <gnomefreak> trippen: system>prefferences>menu editor?
[09:34] <BrokenCrystal_> then close
[09:34] <Se1> Well, my first silly question... I'm unable to determine which disk is the Master and which one is the Slave :D
[09:34] <isidoro> gnomefreak: ok but is there a way to see if that feature is supported or not?
[09:35] <gnomefreak> isidoro: not really
[09:35] <Se1> Let me fill you in with the scenario though: I have 2 (physical) hard disks. Same model, same space. One of them is "infected" with my XP instalation
[09:35] <und3ad> why if i open a program in terminal with & argument when i close the terminal the program also quit?
[09:35] <reaper> brb going to restart and see if wireless works
[09:35] <trippen> everytime i put a checkmark into the debain spot under the edit menus.. i close it and the checkmark goes away ?????
[09:35] <gnomefreak> isidoro: ask in #ubuntu-kernel but dont expect to get answered
[09:35] <Se1> The other one has some information (That I would like to keep), and I'm going to install Ubuntu in the space I have there.
[09:36] <gnomefreak> trippen: something is interferring with it than
[09:36] <t1n0m3n> Sel: hmmm, one should be hda and one hdb... unless you have sata, then it would be sda and sdb
[09:36] <BrokenCrystal_> und3ad, this is normal
[09:36] <pike_> und3ad, use nohup. like: nohup gedit &
[09:36] <Se1> Hda and Hdb, that's correct.
[09:36] <isidoro> gnomefreak: ok but why not answered? they are not so kind as you? :-)
[09:36] <trippen> gnomefreak and that is why im here to try and get help on fixing it
[09:36] <Se1> I take that Hda is the one that has Windows installed?
[09:36] <und3ad> pike_: tnx.. i`ll try...
[09:36] <gnomefreak> isidoro: its a holiday weekend and its a weekend
[09:36] <isidoro> ao aoa  ok
[09:37] <gnomefreak> trippen: i already told you what was interferring you choose not to believe me.
[09:37] <isidoro> :-)
[09:37] <t1n0m3n> hda is the one that is configured as master (the jumper on the HD)
[09:37] <trippen> gnomefreak what is interferring with it ??
[09:37] <gnomefreak> your automatix script
[09:37] <BrokenCrystal_> dont say the a word
[09:37] <Se1> Gotcha. Is there any way to check that out without opening the cpu? That would be my first approach to the situation but... heh... Long story short, I have no means to open my pc until tomorrow.
[09:38] <trippen> gnomefreak no it isnt.. because i installed those packages and tryed to enable it before i installed automatix
[09:38] <BrokenCrystal_> wrong room for that
[09:38] <internetrr> I use ubuntu.
[09:38] <t1n0m3n> sel: if you partion manually, you should see that one of the drives has an NTFS partion on it
[09:38] <t1n0m3n> sel: partition that is
[09:38] <gnomefreak> trippen: ok whatever you think. i know it is but please feel free to try other things
[09:38] <isidoro> gnomefreak: in ubuntu-kernel I see Latest kernel upload: 2.6.22-4.10
[09:38] <Se1> Correct, that's the windows one!
[09:38] <t1n0m3n> sel: that would be the drive with windows
[09:38] <trippen> okay so next issue.. has anyone compile projectm for xmms using an ati radeon card
[09:39] <Se1> My hdb1 is the fat32 one, the one I'm going to install ubuntu in.
[09:39] <gnomefreak> isidoro: not for feisty its not
[09:39] <cb1> can someone help me with getting my dvd-rw to work?
[09:39] <isidoro> ok
[09:39] <BrokenCrystal_> what is wrong with it cbl
[09:39] <r00tintheb0x> cb1, what seems to be the problem.
[09:39] <gnomefreak> isidoro: you have to ask someone, the kernel team is working hard on gutsy
[09:39] <Se1> So. Right now I have to edit the partition to create both the swap and the install partition, correct?
[09:40] <t1n0m3n> sel: so, in that case, I would partition the other drive for ubuntu, and install grub on the drive with windows
[09:40] <Se1> Grub?
[09:40] <FreedomFighter> Rumor has it 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, Se1
[09:40] <Se1> O.o that's a proactive bot.
[09:40] <Geeerd> I installed the latest Nvidia drivers obtained  from Nvidias site , and after a reboot the xserver startup fails saying API mismatch diffrent versions of nvidia kernal and x module , how can i fix this error
[09:40] <Se1> Now, with the partitioning itself.
[09:40] <t1n0m3n> sel: yeah, grub is the loader that tells the computer which OS to load
[09:41] <Kalisto> is there a simple way i can upgrade from Dapper to the newest release?
[09:41] <spikeb> !upgrade | Kalisto
[09:41] <ubotu> Kalisto: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[09:41] <Se1> I'm going to create a 3 gig partition, a 500 meg swap one, in this hdb disk. I won't lose the information I have there, correct?
[09:41] <trippen> Geeerd  try intalling the ones from the repos.. i think its sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[09:41] <r00tintheb0x> Kalisto, it can be done, but i dont reccomend it.
[09:41] <Kalisto> r00tintheb0x, why?
[09:41] <cb1> r00tintheb0x: I have a lightscribe dvdrw and in k3b it says I have no disc in my drive, even though I do
[09:41] <t1n0m3n> sel: yeah, I make swap 1.5x the physical memory and / whatever...
[09:41] <Kalisto> r00tintheb0x, what will it break?
[09:42] <Geeerd> trippen: if i use those i am getting trouble using Beryl
[09:42] <t1n0m3n> sel: I would also suggest you make a partion for /home
[09:42] <trippen> cb1 do you have the lightscribe software installed
[09:42] <r00tintheb0x> Kalisto, sometimes it takes some hacking at the distro to get it to work right.
[09:42] <Se1> Okies. Would you mind holding my hand while I do it? :D
[09:42] <t1n0m3n> sel: that way you can reload the os without losing settings
[09:42] <trippen> Geeerd how so i had beryl running on those very same drivers..
[09:42] <r00tintheb0x> cb1, what is the model numnber of your drive.
[09:42] <cb1> trippen: im njot sure where to get it
[09:43] <cb1> r00tintheb0x: ts-h552
[09:43] <trippen> cb1 open up synaptic package manager and do asearch for lightscribe
[09:43] <icheyne> Every 30 boots, I have to wait 4 minutes while my disk gets checked for errors. Is there a away to avoid this? Is this something to do with ext3?
[09:43] <Kalisto> r00tintheb0x, what are we looking at? new Xorg conf? drivers? grub? or something more difficult?
[09:43] <Geeerd> trippen: i get a black window when any two windows overlap
[09:43] <pike_> Geeerd, i had a similar issue that turned out to be restricted-modules package. im not on ubuntu and dont remember the config file i edited in /etc/*/
[09:43] <r00tintheb0x> cb1, have you tried any other CD-R/CD-RW's yet?
 also, are you fimiliar with the command line?
[09:44] <t1n0m3n> se1: I went 1 on 1 for less chatter in here
[09:44] <cb1> r00t: yes
[09:44] <Kalisto> r00tintheb0x, yes im a gentoo convert. i know my way around linux pretty well
[09:44] <jcboi> hello, just want to know, during installation, is it possible to get ubuntu to install grub on another MBR?
 is it showing up in dmesg?
[09:44] <r00tintheb0x> as the correct device?
[09:45] <r00tintheb0x> .ckear
[09:45] <heffo> nother MBR?
 <Kalisto> is it
[09:45] <r00tintheb0x> heffo, i dont know what you're talking about.
[09:45] <t1n0m3n> Se1: how big is the HD that you are installing ubuntu on?
[09:45] <jcboi> heffo: jcboi, yes...
[09:45] <r00tintheb0x> Kalisto and i are talking about CDRW drives.
[09:45] <Se1> 80g.
[09:45] <devyll> I want to add a iptables-restore command at startup ... what is the script where I should add this command in Ubuntu ?
[09:46] <pike_> jcboi, im not sure if it lets you point to another hd mbr i dont think so
[09:46] <Kalisto> r00tintheb0x, umm wrong Kalisto (we were talking about upgrading ubuntu)
[09:46] <r00tintheb0x> oh sorry
[09:46] <t1n0m3n> se1: ok I would make / 15 to 20 gig and /home the rest
[09:46] <r00tintheb0x> ok Kalisto if you're a gentoo convert, go at it man
[09:46] <r00tintheb0x> ive upgraded dapper ---> feisty.
[09:46] <sahil> I have a TV Tuner card in my laptop, any ideas on how to use it with Fiesty Fawn ?
[09:47] <r00tintheb0x> its doable, you may have to reconfigure some packatges "manualy"
[09:47] <cb1> trippen: there is nothing for lightscribe found period
[09:47] <BrokenCrystal_> try vlc
[09:47] <t1n0m3n> Se1: you want home to be as big as possible, since that is where you will be downloading, music, pics, etc
[09:47] <BrokenCrystal_> for your tv tuner card
[09:47] <jcboi> pike: erm, i have one internal and one external drive, so i want it to install on the external drive, and not the internal drive
[09:47] <BrokenCrystal_> vlc is nice
[09:47] <Kalisto> r00tintheb0x, what do you mean by reconf packages manually?
[09:47] <DBO> devyll, rc.local is a fine place to put it, provided its a short command or two
[09:47] <Se1> Roger.
[09:47] <sahil> i have VLC but i was unaware it can use a TV TUner card

[09:48] <inflex> what's the name of the GUI app that shows you all the current software updates for Ubuntu in the GNOME/Metacity interface?
[09:48] <Gnea> Se1: it isn't?
[09:48] <t1n0m3n> Se1: windows is ntfs right?
[09:48] <zambrotta> can anyone help me ?
[09:48] <Se1> Correct.
[09:48] <inflex> (Running Fluxbox here instead for speed/functionality - so the 'update icon' isn't visible
[09:48] <Se1> And then I have a fat32 one which I use to store things.
[09:48] <sahil> FreedomFighter i did not understand what you said
[09:48] <Gnea> !ask | zambrotta
[09:48] <ubotu> zambrotta: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[09:48] <gnomefreak> inflex: update-manager
[09:49] <inflex> thankyou gnomefreak
[09:49] <zambrotta> well, i downloaded file.rpm.bin
[09:49] <cb1> r00tintheb0x: what should I do?
[09:49] <zambrotta> and i dont know how to install it
[09:49] <Gnea> there's no need to install it, it's not a .deb
[09:49] <t1n0m3n> Se1: yeah you could push files from linux to windows, but it is not easy from windows to push to a linux partition
[09:49] <zambrotta> double click ?
[09:50] <Se1> It's all good then :D
[09:50] <Gnea> you're kidding me, right?
[09:50] <gnomefreak> you run .bin files not install them
[09:50] <zambrotta> noo
[09:50] <zambrotta> but i tried double click
[09:50] <t1n0m3n> Se1: I usually just pull from linux if I need a file
[09:50] <zambrotta> and it didnt work
[09:50] <Gnea> gnomefreak: usually .bin files install things
[09:50] <Se1> Yup. That's a good idea.
[09:50] <Se1> I think I have 20 free gigs on my HD
[09:50] <Gnea> zambrotta: what's the name of the file?
[09:51] <Se1> Let me check it real quick.
[09:51] <gnomefreak> zambrotta: rpm is wrong type of file first off and bin you dont install you run them
[09:51] <zambrotta> i dont remember really
[09:51] <gnomefreak> Gnea: hint run the .bin it will than install what it will
[09:51] <cb1> what do I do with a *.rpm file?
[09:51] <zambrotta> but i wanted to install java on the ubuntu
[09:51] <t1n0m3n> sel: hmm, lemme look at my partition and see how much ubuntu uses
[09:51] <Gnea> gnomefreak: hint you don't know what you're talking about.
[09:51] <Kalisto> r00tintheb0x, by the look of it a fresh install might be less time consuming. just have to backup a TON of scripts and conf.  btw is there a developer ubuntu edition that comes with the most used lib-devs?
[09:51] <gnomefreak> cb1: throw it away and look for a .deb
[09:51] <r00tintheb0x> he lightscribe problem?
[09:51] <gnomefreak> Gnea: dont i?
[09:51] <cb1> there isnt one for it
[09:52] <Gnea> zambrotta: so what's the name of the file?
[09:52] <gnomefreak> Gnea: type in terminal sh filename.bin
[09:52] <aMMuNix> don't know if this is the right place to ask but why does my titlebar often look like this : http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/2527/weirdvc5.png ?

[09:52] <zambrotta> yes
[09:52] <r00tintheb0x> that's going to be the most up-to-date
[09:52] <Gnea> gnomefreak: what if it's not a shell script?

[09:53] <t1n0m3n> Se1: no, I didn't, I am new to this client as well
[09:53] <Gnea> gnomefreak: no, it's not. perl scripts require perl, not bash. binary files need an executable bit set.
[09:54] <zambrotta> so. i'll type in the terminal sh file.rpm.bin

[09:54] <RedGhost> Sorry for the amateurish question, but how can I see my internal IP address (need to do some port forwarding)?
[09:54] <r00tintheb0x> cb1, does it list it in the /var/log/boot.log?

[09:55] <martiancode> would i be able to find the commands
[09:55] <Gnea> gnomefreak: i've been building and running them for over a decade on various distros, it doesn't matter, a shell script is not a compiled binary is not a perl script is not a python script, yada yada yada.
[09:55] <martiancode> commands' output history?
[09:56] <martiancode> thanks in advance
[09:56] <r00tintheb0x> cb1, are you looking?
[09:56] <cb1> yes
[09:56] <gnomefreak> Gnea: in linux you run .bin files but do as you with
[09:56] <gnomefreak> wish
[09:56] <cb1> i found a file named boot, but its empty
[09:56] <r00tintheb0x> martiancode, either in the binaries log file
[09:56] <r00tintheb0x> or somewhere in /var/log martiancode
[09:56] <Gnea> gnomefreak: save your over-generalizations for someone who cares.
[09:56] <r00tintheb0x> martiancode, you can usually throw a -d flag on a command for verbose debugging.
[09:57] <cb1> 1 sec
[09:57] <r00tintheb0x> ok cd
[09:57] <martiancode> r00tintheb0x: thanks again :-) I thought of the second probability but don't know where yet
[09:57] <r00tintheb0x> cb1*
[09:57] <cb1> is bootstrap.log the right one?
[09:57] <r00tintheb0x> martiancode, what executable are you trying to troubleshoot?
[09:57] <r00tintheb0x> cb1, it should be /var/log/boot.log
[09:58] <martiancode> r00tintheb0x: actually it's not me, it's a problem faced a friend of mine and I thought of researching in case it happened for me
[09:58] <r00tintheb0x> or cb1, if you've rebooted reciently, do a "dmesg |grep hd |more"
[09:58] <martiancode> r00tintheb0x: as I used to disable scrolling
[09:58] <RedGhost> I did try google first, so if someone wants to give me the command to see my internal ip I'd appreciate it :P
[09:58] <r00tintheb0x> i see martiancode. Usually the debug flag is best for viewing whats goin on in an executable.
[09:59] <Se1> t1n0. I see your message but apparently you can't see mine. Heh.
[09:59] <gnomefreak> Gnea: either run ./XYZ.bin or sh file.bin as it will run. if you fail to believe me please search it on google. as for you rude attitide i would stop that
[09:59] <cb1> r00t: k I see it listed when I run that cmd
[09:59] <t1n0m3n> Se1: ahh, k
[09:59] <Kjellviz> is there a autorstart option/folder in ubuntu/gnome ?
[09:59] <t1n0m3n> do you IM?
[09:59] <martiancode> r00tintheb0x: greatly appreciated, and by the way it's just my friend wants to keep history of what was done in general even if it's just directory listing
[09:59] <Se1> Sure. Msn, aim?
[10:00] <Kjellviz> where i can set gaim to start on login

[10:01] <openlad> there is no /var/www/html/ folder
[10:01] <Kjellviz> yobrien: ok, but where do i find the actual application when i try to add one ?
[10:01] <BrokenCrystal_> usually /usr/bin/
[10:01] <Kjellviz> i mean, here's no Program Files folder :P
[10:01] <Kjellviz> kk thanks
[10:01] <abdelrahman> does any one know how i can fix the sound drivers, i hear no sound, i use GA-p965-DS3

[10:02] <Kjellviz> ok thanks, need to test brb
[10:02] <Kjellviz> Madsy: ye i know
[10:02] <Kjellviz> thats why i ask :)
[10:02] <gnomefreak> Geeerd: from the script that installed nvidia-drivers from nvidia you need to uninstall everything it made. ther eis a command for uninstall (cant remember the exact syntax off hand)
[10:03] <yobrien> Kjellviz: um ... you have to find the name of executable ...  you can look in /usr/share/applications/
[10:03] <Madsy> Kjellviz: One important difference is that most (if not all) applications are owned by root.

[10:03] <ROnewbie> Hi all; I'm having a wireless problem here. I'm running Feisty on a MSI S271X laptop and my wireless card is a RaLink RT2561/RT61 rev B 802.11g. Network Manager sees all the WLANs as zero signal strength, including mine, and when I click on it it will ask for my WEP key, but then not connect. I don't know if it's a driver issue or a router one, or else. Help, anyone ?
[10:04] <Gnea> gnomefreak: the point isn't that my attitude is negative (it is, in fact, positive), the point is that the user failed to provide the exact name of the file - he said "file.rpm.bin", which as i'm sure you know, may not really be an rpm file - the point i was attempting to make, that you completely missed, is that throwing the .bin at sh takes too long (as does all of this nonsense bickering) and that running 'file' on it and having the

[10:04] <r00tintheb0x> okay.

[10:04] <BrokenCrystal_> ok
[10:05] <BrokenCrystal_> this is from the page

[10:05] <DerangedDingo> Hey, sorry, can anyone point me to the file that can change a TTY's screen resolution and font?
[10:05] <BrokenCrystal_> NVIDIA now provides a utility to assist you with configuration of your X config file.
[10:05] <BrokenCrystal_> Please run 'man nvidia-xconfig' for details on usage.
[10:05] <DerangedDingo> mine is messed up
[10:05] <mogli> woooooooooooooooooooooo for ubuntu
[10:05] <jscinoz> Hey guys, when i'm using my toshiba laptop under ubuntu the fan never turns on, this results in it overheating and requiring a hard reboot, however this doesn't occur under windows, or at the bios, any ideas what causes this and how it can be resolved?
[10:05] <BrokenCrystal_> nvidia-xconfig
[10:06] <r00tintheb0x> jscinoz, what kind of computer do you have?
[10:06] <r00tintheb0x> Dell?

[10:08] <cbs> what do I use to defrag?
[10:08] <DerangedDingo> there is no defrag too
[10:08] <mogli> oh and one question - using that package manager - i installed a few programs but now i cant see where i can go to use them
[10:08] <DerangedDingo> tool
[10:08] <Gnea> cbs: defrag?
[10:08] <mogli> the icons are nowhere to e found
[10:08] <gnomefreak> cbs: you dont use defrag on ubuntu
[10:08] <Gnea> cbs: like, for a FAT32 fs?
[10:08] <jscinoz> AFAIK ext2/3 filesystems dont require defragmentation
[10:08] <gnomefreak> cbs: that is windows only
[10:08] <DerangedDingo> ext3 is much more effecient than NTFS or FAT
[10:08] <r00tintheb0x> cbs, linux doesnt need to be defragged
[10:08] <cbs> so, how do they keep their bytes all in the same place/
[10:08] <Gnea> logically. :)
[10:09] <jscinoz> journalling and other techniques
[10:09] <inflex> cbs: ext uses a completely different system
[10:09] <inflex> cbs: FAT is just a linear chain allocation table, where's ext is a tree
[10:09] <jscinoz> r00t, powernowd isnt running what should i do?
[10:09] <cbs> ah, right
[10:09] <Gnea> cbs: do a google search for the third extended filesystem (or ext3, for short)
[10:09] <inflex> cbs: in short, you don't need to defrag ... which is nice isn't it :)
[10:09] <cbs> yes
[10:09] <Gnea> ext3 is really just ext2 with a journal on top of it
[10:10] <DerangedDingo> If you're having speed issues though... defragging wouldn't be your answer
[10:10] <inflex> if you've got speed issues, consider mounting with 'noatime'
[10:10] <inflex> also, check to see if DMA is active on the HDD
[10:10] <inflex> (lack of DMA results in about a 5x reduction
[10:10] <Gnea> if user isn't in the channel, consider cease and continue on to another issue

[10:19] <imakos> Ok thank you, and My Apologies
[10:20] <r00tintheb0x> imakos, "dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.0"
[10:20] <r00tintheb0x> :)
[10:20] <Gnea> inflex: ogg rocks, i even wrote a script to convert them :)
[10:20] <inflex> what?! convert to -what-?
[10:20] <Gnea> mp3 -> ogg
[10:20] <inflex> ooooh okay
[10:20] <defcon_> what are some ways to optimize application start times in ubuntu?
[10:20] <Gnea> still need to get the id3 info over tho
[10:21] <Gnea> otherwise it's pretty solid
[10:21] <inflex> that reminds me, need to install grip
[10:21] <r00tintheb0x> Gnea, there's really no benigit that i can see converting them to OGG.
[10:21] <r00tintheb0x> Its a VERY small compression difference.
[10:21] <Gnea> r00tintheb0x: that's nice.
[10:21] <inflex> r00tintheb0x: other than not needing mp3
[10:21] <r00tintheb0x> hmm
[10:22] <yobrien> !info readahead | defcon_
[10:22] <ubotu> defcon_: readahead: read files into the page cache. In component main, is optional. Version 1:0.20050517.0220-0ubuntu9 (feisty), package size 28 kB, installed size 192 kB
[10:22] <Gnea> ogg is infinately superior to mp3 in every way possible
[10:22] <Gnea> well, except for one....
[10:22] <r00tintheb0x> The reasons i see, are to "keep it all free" (MP3 codecs are usually paid for i believe)
[10:22] <Gnea> most players out there support mp3 :}
[10:22] <defcon_> root@ion:~# apt-get install readahead
[10:22] <defcon_> ?
[10:22] <inflex> Gnea: LG's iPod shuffle clone supports ogg
[10:23] <Gnea> r00tintheb0x: ogg vorbis actually provides a much higher audio quality than mp3
[10:23] <fliper_> damn it didnt find /dev/dsp
[10:23] <defcon_> yobrien, whats the apt-get for readahead
[10:23] <Gnea> inflex: i know ;)
[10:23] <aMMuNix> don't know if this is the right place to ask but why does my titlebar often look like this : http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/2527/weirdvc5.png ?
[10:23] <Gnea> inflex: i just with the UP3 had a 10G version
[10:23] <yobrien> defcon_: you might already have it , but yeah sudo apt-get install readahead
[10:23] <inflex> oh, nice
[10:23] <Gnea> s/with/wish/g
[10:23] <Gnea> it also doesn't work too well in linux yet
[10:23] <defcon_> yobrien, it isnt listed

[10:24] <ROnewbie> can anyone help me? Network manager won't connect to my WLANs.
[10:24] <yobrien> defcon_: i think its mainly to speed up booting
[10:24] <Gnea> !wireless | ROnewbie
[10:24] <ubotu> ROnewbie: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[10:24] <inflex> what... can't believe it, vorbis-tools isn't even installed by default
[10:24] <r00tintheb0x> ROnewbie, are you sure the network card is functioning correctly?
[10:25] <mzuverink> could someone pastebin their /etc/pam.d/gdm if you are using libpamkeychain to autologin to wirenetworks please, i need to know what I am doing wrong, its asking for my password twice at the logon screen
[10:26] <razone> hei
[10:26] <ROnewbie> r00tintheb0x: yep, I'm running on a dual boot and in XP it works fine
[10:26] <tom_> hi
[10:26] <ROnewbie> r00tintheb0x: it's a RaLink RT2561/RT61 rev B 802.11g.
[10:26] <r00tintheb0x> no ROnewbie i mean, are the correct modules loaded in linux for your card?
[10:26] <arthanix> Hi. I'm trying to set up a raid 5 on my 3 disks, but I can't find any good way to do this.
[10:27] <r00tintheb0x> ROnewbie, what kind of wireless card is it... what is the model number of the adapter?
[10:27] <tom_> can anyone help me with a perl script? http://nopaste.ch/8afef80a0d92d61.html
[10:27] <r00tintheb0x> looking tom
[10:27] <ROnewbie> r00tintheb0x: aaa ... how can I find that out ? Mind the  "newbie" part of my name
[10:27] <ROnewbie> r00tintheb0x: in an lspci -v the output says at the end
[10:27] <Fattay> Hey Guys. Im running ubuntu, what would I use to SSH to another server?
[10:27] <ROnewbie> r00tintheb0x:  Network controller: RaLink RT2561/RT61 rev B 802.11g
[10:27] <BrokenCrystal_> true hardware raid is best, but the cards are extremely expensive
[10:28] <r00tintheb0x> ROnewbie give me a second.
[10:28] <r00tintheb0x> I'll check into it.
[10:28] <chainlynx> Fattay: ssh
[10:28] <aaaaa> i am not able to connect from ubuntu
[10:28] <BrokenCrystal_> most mainstream and onboard raid is software
[10:28] <BrokenCrystal_> not hardware
[10:28] <arthanix> BrokenCrystal_, I know..
[10:28] <BrokenCrystal_> sucks huh?
[10:28] <Fattay> Is there something already on here that can do this? Where do I find it?
[10:28] <r00tintheb0x> yeah, which sucks BrokenCrystal_
[10:28] <Gnea> you get what you pay for
[10:28] <BrokenCrystal_> I ran into that
[10:29] <fliper_> how i can find the dev that my sound card is in?
[10:29] <BrokenCrystal_> with my promise, adaptec, and all onboard sata raid devices
[10:29] <r00tintheb0x> ROnewbie, http://ubuntuforums.org/search.php?searchid=20942201
[10:29] <chainlynx> Fattay: open a terminal (applications->accessories) and then type ssh <username>@<host>
[10:29] <BrokenCrystal_> before I knew
[10:29] <chainlynx> replacing username and host with the appropriate values, of course
[10:29] <Gnea> modprobe snd_pcm_oss   <-- should create the /dev/dsp* file(s)
[10:29] <BrokenCrystal_> should have saved my money
[10:29] <Fattay> ah beautiful
[10:29] <chainlynx> alternatively, you can use places->connect to server
[10:29] <Fattay> thats all i neede d2 know, thanks chainlynx
[10:29] <Gnea> fliper_: ^^^
[10:30] <aaaaa> and what do there
[10:30] <fliper_> ty
[10:30] <ROnewbie> r00tintheb0x: I already looked on the forums
[10:30] <bokey> what's this a joke ---> http://nixory.sourceforge.net/ hahahahaha
[10:31] <mzuverink> no pastebin of /etc/pam.d/gdm with libpam-keychain anyone?
[10:31] <aaaaa> can anyone help me
[10:31] <Fattay> lets say I want to login at server.hostnamehere.com...when i do "ssh server.host.com" it tries asking me for password as my user at my local comp (fattay) but i want to login with a diff username....sorry for the noob questions
[10:31] <arthanix> BrokenCrystal_, Well.. I was stupid enough to buy the highpoint rocketraid 2300 (software raid, and I knew), and installing the drivers only results in a not bootable because of some defs (can't mount filesystem: devfs)
[10:31] <Gnea> ROnewbie: documentation for setting up your card exists on the webpage that i had ubotu provide you
[10:32] <bokey> Fattay, ssh username_you_want@host.name
[10:32] <tom_> Fattay, ssh user@server.hostnameher.com
[10:32] <aaaaa> i cannot connect my dialup connection from ubuntu!!!!!!!!
[10:32] <chainlynx> beat me to it, bokey
[10:32] <Serge_K> Fattay: slogin -u <user> <servername>
[10:32] <jermain> can someone tell me how to display the size of a folder in bash?
[10:32] <ROnewbie> r00tintheb0x: thanks anyway. The thing is I'm quite sure it's a settings problem, not a driver one. And it's with the settings that I'm having problems.
[10:32] <BrokenCrystal_> man, i want a hardware raid card
[10:32] <Fattay> thanks guys
[10:32] <chainlynx> jermain: du -h
[10:32] <r00tintheb0x> tom_, im not too sure, check in #perl they'll know
[10:32] <ROnewbie> Gnea: i'll look at that too. thanks
[10:32] <chainlynx> er, du -h <folder>
[10:32] <bokey> chainlynx, http://nixory.sourceforge.net/ this is a joke. the code is stupid and funny.
[10:32] <tom_> r00tintheb0x, k thx
[10:32] <BrokenCrystal_> I cant even get striping to work
[10:32] <r00tintheb0x> ROnewbie, what are you using to try to connect to it.
[10:32] <jermain> ty chainlynx :)
[10:32] <r00tintheb0x> no problelm tom
[10:32] <Gnea> inflex: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22659/
[10:32] <BrokenCrystal_> with software raid on these cards
[10:33] <mwe> Doesn't this seem a bit odd http://erup.eu/CIMG0863.JPG ? I thought login was supposed to be the last thing to happen during boot.
[10:33] <aaaaa> please help me
[10:33] <r00tintheb0x> mwe, no... feisty loads things in the background.
[10:33] <r00tintheb0x> the output is just going to the terminal.
[10:33] <BrokenCrystal_> might work if I disable the raid on the cards, but not sure and havent tried
[10:33] <BrokenCrystal_> wont work with it enabled on the cards themselves for me
[10:34] <mwe> r00tintheb0x: I see. so in other words you think it looks normal?
[10:34] <r00tintheb0x> aaaaa, do you see your dial up connection under system>administration>network?
[10:34] <inflex> Gnea: heh - I don't even have mp3s :)
[10:34] <r00tintheb0x> mwe, perfectly normal, my machine does the same thing.
[10:34] <r00tintheb0x> :)
[10:34] <fliper_> gnea it didnt complained but it didt created dsp....
[10:35] <inflex> Gnea: either I rip my own CD's, or I download from Magnatune (as oggs or FLAC)
[10:35] <aMMuNix> why is my titlebar often unclickable, instead it clicks anything that's behind it, I have to move the window a bit even in one pixel and then it goes back to normal
[10:35] <abc> where is the dialup connetion icon for connecting to the internet
[10:35] <abc> in ubuntu
[10:35] <Gnea> inflex: nice
[10:35] <chainlynx> abc: system->administration->networks
[10:36] <abc> yes
[10:36] <abc> then
[10:36] <ACPie> I'd like to re-burn my ISO, but I only have DVD-Rs. Would it work off a DVD-R?
[10:36] <fliper_> ppp con
[10:36] <fliper_> it shows a telephone
[10:36] <inflex> btw, anyone wanting music that's not encumbered, Magnatune is a great resource - so long as you don't expect to find synthetic crap like Top-40 stuff
[10:36] <abc> i had setuped this
[10:36] <neztiti> guys any one have em8300 card?
[10:36] <abc> but still unable to connect
[10:37] <chainlynx> inflex: so are torrents :-)
[10:37] <mwe> r00tintheb0x: good then. It looks funny when you log in at the console, though. The login in prompt way up and the username at the bottom of the screen ;)
[10:37] <inflex> chainlynx: yeah, but at least I own this music and it's all legal
[10:37] <aMMuNix> why is my titlebar often unclickable, instead it clicks anything that's behind it, I have to move the window a bit even in one pixel and then it goes back to normal
[10:37] <r00tintheb0x> mwe, yeah, its odd... but in the desktop version with a splash screen you dont see it.
[10:38] <r00tintheb0x> mwe, are you using a server install
[10:38] <r00tintheb0x> ?
[10:38] <chainlynx> inflex: congratulations, you paid for something you shouldn't have to
[10:38] <inflex> chainlynx: what? someone elses's work?
[10:38] <mwe> r00tintheb0x: yeah, but I installed gnome later. I'm running a custom kernel without a splash as well, so ...
[10:38] <chainlynx> inflex: read this essay http://questioncopyright.org/promise
[10:39] <r00tintheb0x> yeah mwe, thought so
[10:39] <inflex> chainlynx: well, personally, I like the music I hear, they're not RIAA controlled and I'm happy to pay $8 for their albums
[10:39] <BrokenCrystal_> yea, i bought two wd raptors and an adaptec sata raid card, but cant use them
[10:39] <r00tintheb0x> thats what i do, install the server install... and then install X11 and fluxbox on top
[10:39] <BrokenCrystal_> works with windows only
[10:39] <BrokenCrystal_> raid 0
[10:40] <chainlynx> inflex: well fine, the difference is whether that payment is voluntary or not (read the essay!)
[10:40] <mwe> r00tintheb0x: Well I'm happy it's normal. I was afraid something was wrong.
[10:40] <inflex> chainlynx: I'm not going to.  I am happy to pay what I did for what I received.
[10:40] <gnomefreak> chainlynx and inflex please try to stay on topic your getting a bit off of it atm
[10:40] <inflex> gnomefreak: yes. okay.
[10:40] <BrokenCrystal_> sad, why won't it work with linux, but works with windows?
[10:40] <Gwayne> Good afternoon :)
[10:40] <BrokenCrystal_> i don't understand that
[10:40] <r00tintheb0x> mwe, no... its normal. Thats why on the dekstop version they "improved boot time"
[10:41] <BrokenCrystal_> unless its driver issue...
[10:41] <Gnea> BrokenCrystal_: adaptec anything works with linux
[10:41] <mwe> r00tintheb0x: yeah that makes sense
[10:41] <r00tintheb0x> BrokenCrystal what RAID controller?
[10:41] <Gwayne> Is this the right channel to ask about creating a local mirror for feisty from dvd ? :)
[10:41] <r00tintheb0x> yep yep mwe  :)
[10:41] <gnomefreak> BrokenCrystal_: windows apps and linux apps are not run the same way so it doesnt work the same way meaning what works in one may not work in other
[10:41] <BrokenCrystal_> dont remember off the top of my head, but raid card, sata, works but not as raid
[10:42] <fliper_> Gnea anysite to look fot it?or keywords?
[10:42] <Gnea> fliper_: look for what?
[10:42] <fliper_> gnea it didnt complained but it didt created dsp
[10:42] <fliper_> modprobe
[10:42] <BrokenCrystal_> recognizes as software raid and will not allow linux software raid on its software raid, but also does not allow its (adaptecs) software raid to work itself
[10:42] <neztiti>  any one have dxr3 card works in feisty7.04?
[10:42] <ooo> i am unable to connect from ubuntu
[10:43] <tom_> r00tintheb0x, it works now the problem was i used the number of @array for the value of the last index but the correct value is @array - 1
[10:43] <nexous> Hi, can I have wget download all files with the .jpg extension in a directory online?
[10:43] <r00tintheb0x> aah tom, that makes sense
[10:43] <gnomefreak> nexous: wget websitelink
[10:43] <mekgp> mek, u here?
[10:43] <nexous> gnomefreak: it will download index.html.
[10:43] <habeeb> gnomefreak: he said all the files with the .jpg extension
[10:44] <gnomefreak> nexous: wget wont do multiple things on a page you have to use the filename at the end of wget
[10:44] <nexous> gnomefreak: Is there anyway to download the contents of a directory then?
[10:44] <gnomefreak> nexous: im fairly sure wget wont do wildcards
[10:44] <nexous> gnomefreak: alright.
[10:45] <gnomefreak> nexous: ther eis an app but i cant remember the name of it
[10:45] <gnomefreak> i havent tried doing that in a long time
[10:45] <mzuverink> Could someone PLEASE! pastebin their /etc/pam.d/gdm file if they are using libpam-keychain?
[10:45] <fliper_> Gnea is it possible that it did it cause its ISA card?
[10:46] <fliper_> not creating dsp files
[10:46] <t1n0m3n> anyone know how to set the MTU in ubunto and still be able to use networkmanager?
[10:46] <Gwayne> Mmmm, no local mirror experts, I need to create a mirror without apt-mirror
[10:46] <Gnea> fliper_: can you pastebin the output of dmesg please?
[10:46] <Gnea> !pastebin

[10:46] <fliper_> moment
[10:46] <Gnea> k
[10:47] <ooo> i have configured my network connection but not see the connection icon
[10:48] <BrokenCrystal_> how often does network manager check to see if a new network is available and how do you change it?
[10:48] <Gnea> ooo: there isn't one by default, you can add one by right-clicking on the top or bottom bar, then add it
[10:48] <BrokenCrystal_> the timer?
[10:48] <ooo> what?
[10:48] <BrokenCrystal_> mine takes forever to discover a new network
[10:49] <Gnea> ooo: you said 'network connection icon'
[10:49] <ooo> yes it says 'connection timed out'
[10:49] <BrokenCrystal_> o
[10:49] <BrokenCrystal_> tired
[10:49] <BrokenCrystal_> lol
[10:49] <Gnea> ooo: what is 'it'?
[10:49] <ooo> modem monitor icon.
[10:49] <Gnea> so it's a dialup modem, not a network card
[10:50] <ooo> is the connection procedure is differnt in linux and in windows
[10:50] <BrokenCrystal_> I want my network connection icon in my systray under gnome to detect my wireless neworks faster
[10:50] <Gnea> of course it is
[10:50] <BrokenCrystal_> it takes forever to discover a new network
[10:50] <At0mic_PC> How would you record audio from a DVD?
[10:50] <ooo> please guide me what to do
[10:50] <BrokenCrystal_> where do I adjust this value?
[10:50] <BrokenCrystal_> gconf?
[10:51] <ooo> it detects my modem automatically thats good but i m not seeing anywhere the connetion icon
[10:51] <re-align> Hmm...
[10:51] <devyll> what ftp server do you reccomend ??
[10:51] <ooo> no ftp
[10:51] <re-align> i'm attempting to build the RaConfig2500 program as outlined here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/RalinkRT2500#Raconfig
[10:51] <Anon4411> is this Money now?
[10:51] <re-align> and ii'm getting errors when running make...
[10:52] <ompaul> !modem | ooo
[10:52] <ubotu> ooo: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto
[10:52] <BrokenCrystal_> did you ./configure
[10:53] <aMMuNix> don't know if this is the right place to ask but why does my titlebar often look like this : http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/2527/weirdvc5.png ?
[10:53] <spike723_> anyone used k9copy?
[10:53] <re-align> The help page didn't mention running a ./configure
[10:53] <jtraub> Something wrong with my Ubuntu. I can't use sleeping mode on my desktop under Ubuntu
[10:53] <BrokenCrystal_> I like k9copy
[10:53] <BrokenCrystal_> havent used in a while tho
[10:53] <re-align> And the driveer itself is already running
[10:54] <spike723_> I get an error from k9copy
[10:54] <Gnea> ./configure is typically the norm when compiling software in linux from scratch
[10:54] <BrokenCrystal_> what error
[10:54] <chainlynx> gnea: why is that step usually necessary?
[10:54] <Gnea> chainlynx: it's the first one
[10:54] <chainlynx> gnea: well, right, but what purpose does it serve?
[10:54] <BrokenCrystal_> were all dependencies satisfied when installing?
[10:54] <Gnea> chainlynx: without it, the program won't even try to compile
[10:54] <chainlynx> ah
[10:55] <Gnea> :)
[10:55] <foug> where is the trash folder?
[10:55] <BrokenCrystal_> it configures the make file for your computer
[10:55] <BrokenCrystal_> i believe
[10:55] <BrokenCrystal_> ./configure then make then make install
[10:56] <BrokenCrystal_> *sudo
[10:56] <ompaul> foug, on the desktop the bottom right hand corner on the filesystem /home/username/.Trash
[10:56] <Gnea> or, syntax correct: ./configure && make && sudo make install
[10:56] <t1n0m3n> anyone know how to set the MTU in ubuntu and still be able to use networkmanager?  I am trying to use VPN over a dsl connection.  This is a part of networkmanager (manual setting of MTU) in opensuse....  No option in ubuntu
[10:56] <foug> ompaul: ty
[10:56] <BrokenCrystal_> && does it all in one line
[10:56] <chainlynx> so what is the difference between make and make install (that is, what purposes does each step usually serve)?
[10:56] <re-align> I didn't use configure, I used this instead: sudo qmake -o Makefile raconfig2500.pro
[10:57] <re-align> Ass outlined by the site.
[10:57] <re-align> as*
[10:57] <BrokenCrystal_> ass?
[10:57] <chainlynx> ha!
[10:57] <Gnea> BrokenCrystal_: && will only execute the next command if the previous command does not error out
[10:57] <BrokenCrystal_> lol
[10:57] <re-align> stupid keyboard...
[10:57] <BrokenCrystal_> ha
[10:57] <chainlynx> i think that's called goatsee
[10:57] <ompaul> !language
[10:57] <fliper_> change batteries....
[10:57] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[10:57] <re-align> It tends to repeat keystrokes
[10:57] <chainlynx> haha interesting that that keyword triggers the bot
[10:57] <Gnea> obviously, this wasn't a bad word
[10:58] <BrokenCrystal_> no, its an animal
[10:58] <spike723_> anyone tried k9copy with 7.04?
[10:58] <ompaul> chainlynx, na the bot was being triggered by a human, scroll back two lines and see the !foo command being issued
[10:58] <BrokenCrystal_> yes, but no problems, but again, its been a while
[10:58] <re-align> Altrnativeely it will refuse to acknowledge some...
[10:58] <chainlynx> ah, i see
[10:58] <Gnea> chainlynx: it didn't, there's just a blanket "you can't say these words here or we will kill you with a bullet to the head, regardless of context" rule in this channel
[10:59] <t1n0m3n> I pity the !foo
[10:59] <rattle> Ok.  So I did Ubuntu because of the political philosiphy.  And I hear that being into politics gets chicks.  So what do I do?
[10:59] <ompaul> Gnea, and it works - we have over 1k people and the channel is kinda okay
[10:59] <rattle> Is the install easy?
[11:00] <chainlynx> rattle: piece of cake
[11:00] <rattle> w00000rd!
[11:00] <Gnea> ompaul: i'm not contesting it, i think it's cool - but i also don't have a problem with channels that go by the context usage.
[11:01] <re-align> besides, there's no ./configure to be had there...:(
[11:01] <re-align> Where's the pastebin?
[11:01] <re-align> !pastebin
[11:01] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[11:01] <ompaul> Gnea, it is no more than a comment ;-) an addendum if you will
[11:01] <rattle> 0ff 2 1nst4ll!  u g0t n3w us3r!  w1ll b3 b4ck 4 h4lp!
[11:02] <Gnea> ompaul: what there NEEDS to be is a rule that bans THAT sort of language too
[11:02] <chainlynx> yeah, seriously
[11:02] <chainlynx> i guess it provides some amusement once in a while
[11:02] <ompaul> Gnea, me or rattle :)
[11:02] <Dexter> hellp anybody can help me with my Serial modem getting "inactive"?
[11:02] <ompaul> !offtopic
[11:02] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[11:02] <re-align> man...he doesn't even know how to properly speak leet...also leet and attempts at such are annoying...
[11:02] <chainlynx> no man, they are great entertainment
[11:03] <Gnea> ompaul: oh pls help me do u no how to ch4ng3 the background?!?!  <-- like that
[11:03] <fliper> Gnea you got a min?log to irc.debian.org
[11:03] <chainlynx> hey is there some list of ubotu bot commands that you can trigger with !foo?
[11:03] <ompaul> Gnea, gotcha
[11:03] <sahil> Dexter click on the computer icon on the top right and then click manual configuration
[11:03] <Dexter> My modem is a US Robotics Sportster flash and Gnome-PPP reports that connection is "Inactive" (it randomly stops sending and receiving packets without disconnecting)
[11:03] <t1n0m3n> !foo
[11:03] <ubotu> foo is bar
[11:04] <t1n0m3n> lol
[11:04] <ompaul> chainlynx, you will see them over time, or you can scroll through http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:04] <Dexter> sahil: the very same problem persists even using wvdial
[11:04] <Dexter> I've explained the problem in details here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2728767#post2728767
[11:04] <sahil> Is ur model connection configured?
[11:04] <Dexter> yes
[11:04] <sahil> going there now
[11:04] <Dexter> it worked great in Edgy
[11:05] <Dexter> and works perfectly in Widnows XP
[11:05] <Dexter> since I've upgraded to Feisty it is worked anymore :|
[11:06] <Gnea> ompaul: i'm from the #debian camp, there tends to be a lot of transparency going on between here and there, and now my employer is selling ubuntu on some of its systems, and the thing that gets on everyone's nerves isn't necessarily the swearing, but the negative contexts of swearing and the use of leetspeak - neither camp can stand it, and this isn't aol, and everyone's using keyboards, not cell phones.
[11:06] <nagyv> Hello! I did an apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, but my laptop quickbuttons are not recognized under KDE. What could I do?
[11:06] <Gnea> fliper: sure, sec
[11:06] <obsethryl> Gnea: sorry, but #debian's policy on what is an aolism and what is not sucks
[11:06] <ompaul> Gnea, that I understand :-)
[11:06] <aMMuNix> what application can capture a screen video ?
[11:07] <gnomefreak> aMMuNix: istanbull
[11:07] <aMMuNix> is it good?
[11:07] <sahil> Dexter when did this problem occur, and did you make any changes to anything b4 it stopped
[11:07] <gnomefreak> aMMuNix: never used it but i hear it is
[11:07] <Gnea> fliper: why irc.debian.org?
[11:07] <aMMuNix> should it be in the add/remove applications? cause it isn't
[11:07] <bobsumone> anyone in here used Server Edition?
[11:08] <Dexter> sahil: no, nothing.. I just installed Feisty from scratch, then installed Gnome-PPP and I started having the problem
[11:08] <Dexter> sahil: but with Edgy, no problems at all
[11:08] <obsethryl> Gnea: eventually that n00bish behaviour #debian has will interfere with its "policy" too much to make it stick together (we are all equal blah blah blah) that is what I can say, and that is the reason why even distrowatch has debian and its communities tagged as "uncultured"
[11:08] <gnomefreak> !instanbull > aMMuNix
[11:08] <fliper> i cant msg you here youllsee

[11:09] <gnomefreak> aMMuNix: hold that thought

[11:10] <gnomefreak> ompaul: bot is borked

[11:14] <r0bb4n> anyone knows if the pidgin messenger support peer to peer file transfer ?
[11:14] <pradalvr> Create a new file by using your favorite text editor. For Ubuntu/Gnome users you can use gedit, and for Kubuntu/KDE users you can use Kate. Also available via the command line are various other text editors that you can use. The file you create, name it apt-security-updates and place it in the directory /etc/cron.weekly/. Enter the following text into the apt-security-updates files:
[11:14] <gnomefreak> pradalvr: are you trying to add it to your source.list file?
[11:15] <devyll> I just installed vsftp . Can anybody tell me why I can't connect through passive ftp ? (when disabling passive ftp it works)
[11:15] <gnomefreak> pradalvr: where did you get that from?
[11:15] <Dexter> sahil, NO, since I installed Feisty I always had that problem
[11:15] <jintxo> Moduliz0r, busybox is a minimal environent, that implements basic commands (ls, cd, things like that) in the shell
[11:15] <RedGhost> !wep | RedGhost
[11:15] <Moduliz0r> jintxo: Can I upload files with FTP and execute them?
[11:15] <pradalvr> I did that and i get an error ...On the Ubuntu site
[11:15] <gnomefreak> pradalvr: can i have a link
[11:15] <jintxo> Moduliz0r, busybox is not an ftp server, if that's what you're asking...
[11:15] <ompaul> Gnea, may I pm you?
[11:15] <Moduliz0r> no there is a separate ftp program running
[11:15] <Moduliz0r> it's a router
[11:16] <pradalvr> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticSecurityUpdates
[11:16] <Gnea> ompaul: sure
[11:16] <tgpravee1> alright ppl here is my ques again and this time in one line the ques is i have ati radeon grphics card but ubuntu recognisies it as   nvidia and restriceted driver management adds nvidia drivers so pls some one help me
[11:16] <jintxo> Moduliz0r, the programs you upload will have to be compiled for the architecture and libraries that are on your router. kind of offtopic in here :-)
[11:16] <Moduliz0r> sorry
[11:16] <crashoverride> anyone help me?
[11:16] <Moduliz0r> but is there any way I can run a different shell on i t?
[11:17] <gnomefreak> pradalvr: to save it in /etc/.... you need sudo
[11:17] <Moduliz0r> it has httpd :D
[11:17] <toto> what is .tar.gz extension
[11:17] <pradalvr> it doesn't say that
[11:17] <pradalvr> so whats the command
[11:17] <wols_> toto: gzipped tar archive
[11:18] <jintxo> Moduliz0r, best google for it. every router model is different. fyi I can put my linksys router in debug mode with a special http url and then enter through telnet and "do stuff" but it's not really very useful to me.
[11:18] <gnomefreak> pradalvr: make the file save it in home run the chmod command they give you and sudo mv file /to/path/you/neeed/to/save/itin
[11:18] <Moduliz0r> ok
[11:18] <gnomefreak> pradalvr: i lied
[11:18] <toto> is this similar to exe file in windows
[11:18] <toto> or the source code type
[11:18] <ompaul> toto, not something for new users every day ;-) it is a compressed fileformat, and it usually contains source in what is called a tarball which is all the file(s) in a directory,
[11:18] <gnomefreak> pradalvr: use the mv command first than use the chmod command
[11:18] <ompaul> toto, either
[11:19] <pradalvr> so i can save to home
[11:19] <ompaul> toto, what are you trying to install?
[11:19] <toto> i m trying to install bluez from bluez.org
[11:19] <AnAnt> Hello, when I am  logged to a windows domain (ActiveDirectory), I cannot access their USB drives, how can I solve that ?
[11:19] <tgpravee1> alright ppl here is my ques again and this time in one line the ques is i have ati radeon grphics card but ubuntu recognisies it as   nvidia and restriceted driver management adds nvidia drivers so pls some one help me.
[11:19] <pradalvr> can't i disable this stupid sudo?
[11:19] <tgpravee1>  last time posting
[11:19] <ompaul> toto, just a moment
[11:19] <toto> but they give me tar.gz files
[11:19] <toto> now wha to do
[11:20] <gnomefreak> pradalvr: its not a good idea nor is it supported
[11:20] <Seveas> tgpravee1, pastebin the output of the lspci command
[11:20] <wols_> toto: it's source. exe files for linux have no ending. all that's needed for them to be executable is to have a +x in their premissions
[11:20] <pradalvr> well i don't know how to make my own command
[11:20] <pradalvr> s
[11:20] <toto> can describe in simpler way???
[11:21] <wols_> toto: somewhere, possibly inside that archive there is a text file describing how to compile and install it. but with a new user as you, it's not advised to compile stuff on your own
[11:21] <toto> ok
[11:21] <toto> then what to do
[11:21] <Seveas> toto, what are you installing?
[11:22] <toto> bluez,wvdial
[11:22] <Seveas> toto, there are packages for that -- don't install from source

[11:25] <zoom> hi friends !
[11:25] <toto> it says in synaptic package manager that these are installed but i cant found them,
[11:25] <gnomefreak> pradalvr: atm its cut and paste the command is given on the page now
[11:25] <jermain> i want to make an if-then statement for "if a file has 'aaa' in the name, then bla bla" how do i express that?
[11:25] <jintxo> wehttamb_, yes, you can start 2 X servers, each one controlling a different card. I'm not sure if you can start only 1 X server to control both cards though. now don't ask me how to do it!! lol
[11:26] <Seveas> toto, wvdial is a commandline tool, bluez is a driver
[11:26] <wols_> wehttamb__: possible: yes. automatically configured: no
[11:26] <wehttamb__> does anyone know how do configure x for it?
[11:26] <toto> seveas,can talk me in private because theeres so crowd
[11:26] <r0bb4n> i did try to remove gaim but then also "nautilus-sendto" "ubuntu-desktop" will be removed, how do you remove just only gaim?
[11:26] <Seveas> jermain, scripting hlp in #bash :)
[11:26] <Seveas> toto, no
[11:27] <toto> ok ok
[11:27] <pradalvr> nope.....no such exist in directory
[11:27] <jermain> thanks Seveas ^^
[11:27] <toto> listen,i want to connect my mobile from my computer through bluetooth
[11:27] <wols_> r0bb4n: you can't. ubuntu-desktop is a meta package which depends on gaim
[11:28] <toto> is the bluez software right for this purpose
[11:28] <r0bb4n> wols_: okey, hmm .. i just want to replace gaim with pidgin, too bad
[11:28] <Seveas> toto, that unfortunatly is still a hassle -- upcoming improvements to bluez should make that easier but at the moment it's not easy
[11:28] <wols_> toto: dpkg -L <packagename>  |less . and you will see all the files it installed
[11:28] <wols_> r0bb4n: and you can. as I said: only metapackages
[11:29] <toto> then thers any software which is easy.
[11:29] <Seveas> no
[11:29] <toto> ok
[11:29] <wols_> toto: it is the right software for the purpose tho
[11:29] <toto> thers another problem with me
[11:29] <r0bb4n> wols_:  okey, so i can install "nautilus-sendto" after i have installed pidgin again then, right ?
[11:30] <AnAnt> Hello, when I am  logged to a windows domain (ActiveDirectory) from Ubuntu, I cannot access their USB drives, how can I solve that ?
[11:30] <Seveas> r0bb4n, it'll drag gaim back in

[11:35] <wols_> toto: especially not with source code
[11:35] <toto> then how can i install softwares etc
[11:35] <Seveas> toto, in the top menubar, choose applications --> add/remove
[11:35] <wols_> toto: with synaptic as you've been already told. you install .deb packages with it
[11:35] <Seveas> lots of software to install :)
[11:36] <toto> and when i want to install softwares which is for microsoft windows then it says rename it
[11:36] <toto> whats it means
[11:36] <toto> ???
[11:37] <wols_> toto: that is wrong. if you really must run software for windows, you install WINE, an emulator and run it under that if possible
[11:38] <toto> when i open wine website, it gives terminals code and no files to download
[11:38] <fliper_> i have ssh but i prefer to do it myself so i can learn a few things
[11:39] <wols_> toto: wine is in sysnaptic. and that's the ONLY place you should install software from
[11:39] <fliper_> (wrong pm..)
[11:39] <toto> ok
[11:39] <fliper_> toto u can try Qemu also
[11:39] <toto> suppose i installed wvdial-1.56.tar.gz then how can i run it???
[11:39] <fliper_> but you wont be able to run hard things like games
[11:40] <wols_> toto: how did you install it?
[11:40] <Gnea> toto: why not apt-get install wvdial?
[11:40] <ice_9> AnAnt have you used this yet http://www.sixxs.net/tools/tic/
[11:40] <V[p] S{}> hello
[11:40] <wols_> what command(s) did you run? cause that tarball is source only which can't be run unless you compile it
[11:40] <zoom> is anyone can scan me to check my security with nmap or nessus for example ? thanks
[11:40] <toto> sorry, i downloaded it.
[11:40] <V[p] S{}> do you feel the bass?

[11:48] <RivaeAerya> Hello there. I want to play my games, but i'm on Linux and i can't play them via WINE (It's a MMORPG, R.O.S.E. online). So, i'm thinking about making a SMALL dual-boot.. BUT, i want to do that almost harmlessly, that it doesn't harm my settings or files. How do I do this, in the most safe way? I have Ubuntu occupying most of my harddisk space now.
[11:48] <morientes> ok ompaul
[11:49] <Gnea> shockwave1: if works with edgy? i'd like to get mine working...

[11:49] <wols_> morientes: you install windows in a free part of your harddisk and then fix the ubuntu bootloader again that windows overwrote
[11:50] <fliper_> morientes backup any important data before you procceed

[11:50] <wols_> and keep a live cd handy
[11:50] <heroin> i installed iceweasel32 bit webbrowser but how do i start it?

[11:57] <zoom> ice_9:  it's ok ?
[11:57] <gnomefreak> heroin: iceape will only be officially supported in gutsy (once they push it) and after gutsy
[11:57] <heroin> gnomefreak: i got it to work in GNOME, i just dont know the start command
[11:57] <phretor> hi there

[11:57] <heroin> gnome auto added the command in the INTERNET menu however fluxbox has custom menu
[11:57] <phretor> I'd like to know why Feisty does fsck *every* time it boots
[11:57] <gnomefreak> heroin: unless they fudged it up
[11:58] <ice_9> zoom still scanning
[11:58] <heroin> gnomefreak: i use IceWeasel ..
[11:58] <gnomefreak> heroin: iceweasle should work
[11:58] <gnomefreak> ack
[11:58] <heroin> and in gnome the command was, iceweasel32
[11:58] <gnomefreak> iceweasel
[11:58] <wols_> re-align: ask the raconfig guys. they have an error in their source
[11:58] <heroin> gnomefreak: but that doesnt work
[11:58] <gnomefreak> heroin: than see #debian
[11:58] <abdelrahman> can anyone help, i didnt get any sound with Mplayer so i changed the sound drivers in it, now when i open it it closes ...
[11:58] <wols_> re-align: possibly your gcc behaves differently than their gcc version
[11:59] <gnomefreak> heroin: its firefox with different name and icons
[11:59] <phretor> is it possible to downgrade to 2.6.19 ?
[11:59] <shockwave1> gnea: it is a 6 in 1 media adapter, but not sure what make or model yet
[11:59] <heroin> gnomefreak: yah but i still dont know how to start it :P
[11:59] <gnomefreak> phretor: from what?
[11:59] <gnomefreak> heroin: ask in #debian
[11:59] <Gnea> shockwave1: tip it over and read the label on the bottom
[11:59] <phretor> gnomefreak: 2.6.20 on Feisty
[12:00] <gnomefreak> phretor: look in synaptic it might still be there
[12:00] <gnomefreak> phretor: if not you may need to build it
[12:00] <re-align> Great...so i need to find some other way of getting WPA to work...:(
[12:01] <wols_> heroin: dpkg -L <iceweasel32 package name> |grep bin
[12:01] <phretor> gnomefreak: thanks, do you also perhaps know why Feisty does fsck at every boot?
[12:01] <gnomefreak> heroin: they are using some sort of a script in the forums post. they will be only ones that are helpful
[12:01] <gnomefreak> phretor: instead of every 30 boots?
[12:02] <heroin> figured it out.. Iceweasel32// with an I not an i
[12:02] <phretor> gnomefreak: yep
[12:02] <crashoverride> Can someone help me real quick?
[12:02] <gnomefreak> phretor: no i havent heard of that before your best bet is to file bug on it and let the kernel devels answer it
[12:03] <gnomefreak> crashoverride: its gonna be hard to help you
[12:03] <t1n0m3n> crashoverride: what do you need?

[12:18] <gnomefreak> crashoverride: they are community help pages
[12:18] <gnomefreak> community maintained even
[12:20] <dimon08> hi all!
[12:20] <ompaul> crashoverride, ubotu is a bot - a little program that works here to help people by keeping common answers to hand and save people the bother of typing the same thing over and over again
[12:20] <dimon08> is it possible to install winxp on the last logical partition, if the first partition is ext3?
[12:21] <fliper_> i try mpg123 my.mp3 and it plays....
[12:21] <Kalisto> new alpha of skype is out. finally no more freeze ups!!!!
[12:21] <MrC_> hi there fellas
[12:21] <askand> Is bugs still being fixed in feisty?
[12:21] <ompaul> dimon08, it might be but if you are doing that I would say install xp first on the first parition as it does not like to play fairly
[12:21] <gnomefreak> askand: some yes
[12:21] <Kalisto> dimon08, wrong channel
[12:21] <hidan> hello does anyone know if the feisty fawn livecd has this mode? "Recover a broken system"
[12:21] <ompaul> dimon08, ##windows might be better palce
[12:22] <gnomefreak> askand: file a bug and they will let you know
[12:22] <MrC_> i was wondering what is the best Office program for Linux,OxygenOffice ,OpenOffice or Abiword?
[12:22] <MrC_> Does anyone knows?
[12:22] <Kalisto> MrC_, i like Openoffice and Kile(LaTeX)
[12:22] <vamp1r3> Abiword
[12:22] <gnomefreak> MrC_: openoffice but errhe is not "best"
[12:22] <gnomefreak> there
[12:22] <dimon08> i tried to boot from windows cd and it said that it can't write to mbr; it's because first partition is mbr?
[12:22] <wols_> abiword certainly is no office suite
[12:23] <roryy> openoffice is convenient if you have normal ubuntu installed. abiword is only a word processor, too
[12:23] <wols_> dimon08: #ubuntu is the totally wrong place to ask that
[12:23] <askand> gnomefreak: I have filed some bugs long time ago.. It feels like everyone has abondoned feisty to work on gutsy?
[12:23] <Otacon22> exist some programs for voice recognition on linux also for other language like italian?
[12:23] <gnomefreak> askand: thats far from truth as feisty just got kernel and python updates
[12:23] <wols_> Otacon22: viavoice (non free)
[12:24] <Otacon22> also italian?
[12:24] <wols_> yes
[12:24] <Otacon22> good.
[12:24] <Otacon22> tnx
[12:24] <askand>   gnomefreak:  ok good :)
[12:24] <wols_> Otacon22: costs somewhere above 100EUR IIRC
[12:24] <dimon08> :(
[12:24] <Kalisto> voice recognition is still far from usable
[12:25] <hidan> hmmm nobody knows?
[12:25] <gnomefreak> askand: you may need to add updates repo some newer versions of apps may be in backports repos there is also a proposed repo things go there before update repo
[12:25] <MrC_> Anyone knows any think about OxygenOffice then?
[12:25] <ompaul> hidan, it does
[12:25] <MrC_> I think i will stick with OpenOffice then
[12:25] <ompaul> hidan, let the live CD boot and then you get to play with more tools :)
[12:25] <wols_> hidan: nonsensical queston. there is no magic button to press to recover a broken system.
[12:26] <gnomefreak> mcp: https://sourceforge.net/projects/ooop/ and its offftopic for in here
[12:26] <askand> gnomefreak: Do I do that from the sources settings in administrator menu?
[12:26] <gnomefreak> MrC_: ^^^
[12:26] <hidan> ompaul: ooh interesting! i didn't remember seeing this mode on my bootup list.
[12:26] <hidan> wols_ oh there is supposed to be. There are several guides which mention this mode.
[12:26] <gnomefreak> askand: either from synaptic or by hand editiing file /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:26] <ompaul> hidan, 99.9% sure it exists
[12:27] <Enselic_> !thunderbird
[12:27] <ubotu> a FOSS email client, capable of close cooperation with Firefox, both by the Mozilla Foundation.  To make your thunderbird links open in firefox see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=60427
[12:27] <hidan> ompaul: sure. however, if that option doesn't come up, is there any way i can access that feature?
[12:27] <fliper_> all hat catalogs...
[12:27] <ompaul> hidan, what is broken
[12:27] <ompaul> hidan, might be a simple fix other than that
[12:27] <Enselic_> Has anyone got thunderbird notification to work?
[12:28] <Kalisto> Enselic_, what do you mean?
[12:28] <MrC_> Is is there anywhere can i can see some screenshots of the next release of Ubuntu?Gusty Gibbon
[12:28] <gnomefreak> MrC_: not yet
[12:28] <hidan> ompaul: lol... I accidentally installed Virtual Box Guest Additions and now, after much asking, it seems I re-compiled my Linux headers.
[12:28] <Enselic_> Kalisto: When I get a new mail I'd like TB to show a "you got mail message", just like a "there are system updates message"s
[12:28] <MrC_> ok,for how long can i keep my Ubuntu 7.04 version?
[12:28] <wols_> hidan: you can't recompile headers
[12:28] <ompaul> hidan, ahh that is not fixable that is choose the previous kernel and set it as default (yuk)
[12:28] <Enselic_> MrC_: forever
[12:29] <hidan> wols_: yes you can. wanna try? =p
[12:29] <askand> gnomefreak: main restricted universe multiverse?
[12:29] <askand> gnomefreak: edgy-backports
[12:29] <askand> ?
[12:29] <ompaul> hidan, in cases where you do something really bad reinstall is nice as you get some ideas about how to get a cleaner system :) but that is just my opinion
[12:29] <hidan> wols_: sudo aptitude install build-essential kernel-header-`uname -r`   . it will screw up your computer.
[12:29] <Kalisto> Enselic_, can't you set the option under Preferences?
[12:30] <wols_> well you can compile headers but that won't produce any binary. unless some moron put more than declaration in headers. and kernel devs are no morons. so no you doN't compile kernel headers
[12:30] <hidan> ompaul: yeah ... however, i just reinstalled ubuntu like 2 to 3 days ago.
[12:30] <wols_> hidan: it won't. ever.
[12:30] <Enselic_> Kalisto: yes it is set, but doesn't work. Does it work for you?
[12:30] <hidan> wols_ : okay, well, whatever it did... it said something linux-header recompiled. lol
[12:30] <wols_> hidan: boot from a live cd. chroot to your install install proper kernel
[12:30] <roryy> hidan: i haven't been following the conversation, but usually one uses the 'linux-headers-generic' (or similar) packages on ubuntu
[12:30] <Kalisto> Enselic_, now that you mention it.. no it does not. only sound notification works
[12:31] <wols_> or if the old kernel still exists on disk, simply edit your menu.lst to boot from it
[12:31] <hidan> wols_: yep but i think it's impossible to remove Virtualbox guest additions.
[12:31] <hidan> wols_ : whatever it's done, it's definitely screwed up the system.
[12:31] <Enselic_> Kalisto: oh well, I guess sound notifications work too
[12:31] <aldin> anyone could help me with mysql? i have user guest and database called guestdb, how can i give all rights on table guestdb to user guest, without giving him rights to see or to use any other databases and tables outside guestdb?
[12:31] <ajmorris_> anyone know if there is a debian packaged version of 'maconlinux'? because i can't get the compilation of the source to work
[12:31] <Kalisto> Enselic_, maybe ask in mozilla channel?
[12:31] <Enselic_> Kalisto: this is likely Ubuntu specific
[12:32] <hidan> rorry: oh i have the old kernels installed but... something's definitely off with my system. ah well.
[12:32] <wols_> hidan: nothing that a new kernel install won't fix. and yes you can overwrite the bad kernel. a reinstall is not necessary if you know what you#re doing
[12:32] <aldin> btw sorry guys for offtpic
[12:33] <hidan> wols_ : uhmmm yes but reinstalling kernel headers or whatever, will not help me remove Virtualbox guest additions. I've been asking around and the general consensus is that it's next to impossible to remove.
[12:33] <Gnea> aldin: i would ask in #mysql
[12:34] <wols_> hidan: I said reinstalling the KERNEL. not headers
[12:34] <wols_> and: if you resintall the kernel and check your initscripts for hat virtualbox crap, it is gone. permanently
[12:34] <aldin> Gnea: ok, i am in #mysql thanks
[12:34] <Kalisto> aldin, GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE
[12:34] <hidan> wols_ : initscripts ?
[12:34] <aldin> Kalisto: ok, i'll give it a shot
[12:35] <wols_> hidan: /etc/init.d/. the scripts that start your daemons, display manager,etc
[12:35] <aldin> Kalisto: but to whom user? not said?
[12:35] <BrokenCrystal_> what is the problem(s_ with virtualbox addins?
[12:35] <BrokenCrystal_> just curious?
[12:35] <aldin> #mysql guys are not responding hehe
[12:35] <hidan> wols_ : right, i'll go check out the init scripts now.
[12:36] <Kalisto> aldin, GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE guestdb to guest
[12:36] <wols_> hidan: first check your kernel. and make sure it hasn't isntalled some shitty module that will be loaded
[12:36] <aldin> Kalisto: thank u very very much
[12:36] <wols_> since the software wanted your kernel-headers it's much more likely it built a module
[12:36] <hidan> wols_ : kernel seems fine. the access and modification dates are 3 days ago. 24th may...
[12:37] <hidan> wols_ : that's whn i reformatted my ubuntu partition lol
[12:37] <aldin> Kalisto: ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'DATABASE guestdb to guest' at line 1
[12:37] <wols_> what access db?
[12:37] <wols_> and: what about modules?
[12:38] <wols_> ah, atime of kernel
[12:38] <hidan> wols_ : okay i'm in /etc/init.d/ now... i can see a couple of those vboxadd stuff.
[12:38] <Kalisto> aldin, http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/adding-users.html
[12:38] <wols_> hidan: how did you install virtualbox? via .deb or from source?
[12:39] <hidan> wols_ : from a .deb
[12:39] <BrokenCrystal_> script
[12:39] <wols_> hidan: and chances are since it needed kernel-headers, it created some modules
[12:39] <hidan> wols_ : aha!
[12:39] <wols_> if you used a deb, use dpkg to uninstall
[12:40] <hidan> wols_ : okay to uninstall vbox, right? and how do i remove those vboxadd modules ? just delete them from init.d ?
[12:40] <wols_> hidan: if you don't use dpkg or a package managerment app for it you will break your package-system. bad things will happen
[12:40] <wols_> hidan: no. you uninstall with dpkg ONLY
[12:40] <hidan> wols_ : okay, so it will remove even those vbox additions?
[12:40] <zoujichun> hei hei
[12:40] <ajmorris_> ! pastebin
[12:40] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[12:40] <wols_> if it's a proper deb: yes
[12:41] <ompaul> HI - CHANNEL: I am about to remove a lot of bans give it a moment before you try to type here :-)
[12:41] <Kalisto> aldin, i think you forgot '' check manual
[12:41] <Kalisto> wtf?
[12:41] <aldin> Kalisto: u r right i thought it would be pieco of cake...
[12:41] <ompaul> CHANNEL: done
[12:41] <hidan> wols_ : but vbox additions, was a .iso. it was not a .deb
[12:41] <raf256> woah
[12:42] <raf256> its redeption day \o/
[12:42] <raf256> praise the lord
[12:42] <ompaul> raf256, ehh offtopic
[12:42] <ajmorris_> can someone help me with this source compilation please ? : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22670/
[12:43] <wols_> hidan: then why did you tell me you installed it from deb? either you give me accurate info on what you did, or you don't even have to state your problems
[12:43] <wols_> ajmorris_: libncurses5-dev
[12:43] <hidan> wols_ : because you were asking about virtualbox. so, yes, i installed virtualbox from a .deb .
[12:43] <hidan> wols_ : no need to start yelling at me, man.
[12:43] <Kalisto> ajmorris_, error: curses.h: No such file or directory missing header
[12:43] <wols_> hidan: have fun solving your problems then. bye
[12:44] <Kalisto> wobx, but curses != ncurses , ncurses is newer
[12:44] <Kalisto> wols_,
[12:44] <ajmorris_> thanks wols_, am installing that now, will let you know if it works
[12:45] <hidan> wols_ : right, whatever.
[12:45] <IndyGunFreak> Any ideas why when my default browser is Opera, and all my programs open URLs in Opera, Open Office refuses to, and uses Firefox.  I assume I'm missing a setting somewhere in OO.
[12:45] <wols_> Kalisto: isn't lxdialog part of kernel config?
[12:45] <wols_> ajmorris_: are you trying to compil your own kernel?
[12:45] <pevensies_> no
[12:45] <ajmorris_> IndyGunFreak, i believe OpenOffice has a standalone option
[12:45] <ajmorris_> wols_, no
[12:46] <IndyGunFreak> ajmorris_: any idea where to find the option?
[12:46] <ajmorris_> wols_, trying to install mol
[12:46] <ajmorris_> IndyGunFreak, i'll have a look in my settings
[12:46] <hidan> ah well...
[12:46] <IndyGunFreak> ajmorris_: ok, thanks, I appreciate it,t his has drove me nuts
[12:47] <Kalisto> any new cool games coming out that run on linux? without the use of wine/cedega?
[12:47] <Kalisto> im going to be hella pissed if they dont release DNF for linux
[12:47] <chowmeined> Where can i find information about linux capabilities?
[12:48] <spikeb> Kalisto: i cant think of a single one, honestly.
[12:48] <mahmoud> where can i find the inittab in feisty?
[12:48] <wols_> Kalisto: http://www.google.de/search?q=linux+capabilities+kernel&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
[12:48] <Kalisto> chowmeined, http://www.psychocats.net/essays/linuxdesktopmyth
[12:48] <wols_> mahmoud: /etc
[12:49] <chowmeined> Kalisto: what is that?
[12:49] <noob> hi need help
[12:49] <Kalisto> chowmeined, a link
[12:49] <mahmoud> wols_, i heaven't found it under /etc/
[12:49] <chowmeined> Kalisto: no i mean, capabilities, the security capabilities from the posix1.e draft
[12:49] <IndyGunFreak> !ask | noob
[12:49] <ubotu> noob: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:49] <wols_> mahmoud: then it doesn't exist
[12:49] <noob> i need d++
[12:49] <obsethryl> lol mass ban - remove
[12:50] <noob> how is name of program
[12:50] <Kalisto> chowmeined, why did you not ask that first?
[12:50] <obsethryl> kind of late me checking that out ompaul, but i always check logs ;)
[12:50] <chowmeined> Kalisto: i asked about linux capabilities
[12:50] <chowmeined> Kalisto: isnt that what they are called?
[12:50] <Kalisto> chowmeined, http://www.comptechdoc.org/os/linux/programming/c/linux_pgcpostest.html
[12:50] <macpo3> hi, am trying to prevent family members shutting down server by mistake, I have disabled the suspend, restart and shutdown commands in "system->administration->login window" but can't see how to remove / disable the hibernate command - does anyone know how to do this?
[12:50] <mahmoud> wols_, how can i define the boot init ?
[12:51] <ncd> lalal
[12:51] <|malajenho|> hi, anyone could help me to make a linker ?
[12:51] <chowmeined> Kalisto: oh, but im not a programmer, cant i set them on the inodes to let programs work instead of them needing to run as root?
[12:51] <hylje> gah, stupid cdemu. what package contains cue2iso or bin2iso ?
[12:51] <LostA> Hello all, been working on this issue on ubuntu installed. I got here intel 82801DB chipset UATA Storage controller & an Seagate 20GB ATA HDD.. And when ubuntu server hits to HW-Detect it fails everytime.. Anyone got a clue?
[12:51] <jburd> "Why does Ubuntu crash more than Windows?" is what I'm being asked.  After a while, Ubuntu just stops responding.
[12:51] <wols_> mahmoud: kernel parameter init=....
[12:52] <hylje> jburd: livecd?
[12:52] <ajmorris_> IndyGunFreak, looks like i was wrong, i can't find the option, it must be in ubuntu somewhere, because i changed it in my settings
[12:52] <jburd> hylje, no.  Hard disk installation.
[12:52] <jburd> The machine has 256 MB of RAM.
[12:52] <hidan> oh well... looks like I'll just do a clean reformat or go back to Windows. I guess an idiot like me should be slowly tortured and decapitated...
[12:52] <jburd> I think that's fairly decent.
[12:52] <ajmorris_> wols, installing that package worked... thanks :)
[12:52] <Kalisto> chowmeined, i dont understand your question
[12:52] <wols_> |malajenho|: linux already has a linker that works just fine
[12:52] <turbotek> can i use the ubuntu in setting up internet cafe?
[12:52] <Flying-Penguin> hey, my GLXgears isn't outputing fps, anyone know what might be up?
[12:52] <jburd> And the folks who I have introduced to Ubuntu are almost on the brink of going back to Windows.
[12:53] <wols_> Flying-Penguin: yes. glcgears is not a benchmark
[12:53] <IndyGunFreak> ajmorris_: yeah, my settings have Opera as default, I've ran sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser and it shows that Opera is default
[12:53] <ghalib> nothing
[12:53] <ghalib> when i insert the dvd into the combo driver then it does not shows on ubuntu desktip as cd shows
[12:53] <LostA> The Live CD (aka. Desktop edition) goes in just fine, but trying to get the server edition in..
[12:53] <roryy> hylje: you can search for what package contains a file using packages.ubuntu.com (this is for your bin2iso query)
[12:53] <chowmeined> Kalisto: i want to set capabilities like i can set file permissions, so when an executable runs its process is given that capability mask and so it can run but not need full root like certain suid programs
[12:53] <Flying-Penguin> wols_: heh, it was way back in the day I first started linux sorry =/
[12:53] <hidan> so, anyone else willing to give my problems a try?
[12:53] <razone> hi
[12:53] <niekie> Flying-Penguin: you need to do this:
[12:53] <hylje> roryy: really?
[12:53] <roryy> hylje: yeah, it's the second search form
[12:53] <topyli> my feisty system automounts my backup drive at boot. that's too silly, how to stop it from doing it? i have the "noauto" option set in fstab
[12:53] <wols_> Flying-Penguin: glxinfo is the proper way to check. and -fps is what you want from glxgears
[12:54] <ferronica> can any one here help me regarding cairo-dock
[12:54] <jintxo> NetworkManager is a fine peice of software, but I only get the "vpn connections" menu if I have my NICs set up for DHCP. is there any way to make it show with amnual configuration?
[12:54] <chowmeined> Kalisto: nevermind, i guess maybe it doesnt exist
[12:54] <jintxo> s/amnual/manual
[12:54] <wols_> !ask | ferronica
[12:54] <ubotu> ferronica: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:54] <niekie> glxgears -iacknowledgethatthistoolisnotabenchmark
[12:54] <noob> any help i need file sharing program that support dc++ hubs
[12:54] <roryy> actually, 'glxgears -printfps' still works
[12:54] <ajmorris_> wols_, do u know a package for elfsload?
[12:54] <turbotek> can i use the ubuntu in setting up my internet cafe instead of winxp?
[12:54] <niekie> Wait.. that's wrong..
[12:55] <wols_> ajmorris_: not really. what does it do?
[12:55] <ajmorris_> sorry, elfload not elfsload, wols_
[12:55] <wols_> turbotek: you can. but if you have to ask you don't know enough about it to do it imho
[12:55] <Kalisto> chowmeined, ok i get what your saying, and i can't help you with that. i have not heard of that. kernel manages addressing space and new process usually stays within the realm of its parent
[12:55] <IndyGunFreak> noob: did linuxdcpp work?
[12:55] <ajmorris_> wols_, dunno, this is an example of the error: elfload.c:70: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules
[12:55] <wols_> ajmorris_: what's it suppsoed to do. all your binaries are ELF
[12:55] <turbotek> then how to setup a network for my internet cafe using ubuntu
[12:55] <wols_> ajmorris_: it's a warning. why do you care?
[12:56] <hidan> oh well, doesn't matter.
[12:56] <wols_> and elfload.c is c source, not a package
[12:56] <jburd> Ubuntu has crashed a lot more times than Windows XP.  Unbelievably horrifying.  :|
[12:56] <niekie> Hmm... mine prints FPS by default.
[12:56] <ajmorris_> wols_, because the compilation won't continue
[12:56] <IndyGunFreak> jburd: then you've done something wrong
[12:56] <niekie> On Ubuntu Feisty.
[12:56] <Kalisto> turbotek, what is your specific question? yes it is possible
[12:56] <jburd> IndyGunFreak, it's a default fresh install.
[12:56] <roryy> hidan: unless you've got data you want to keep, it's probably easiest just to reinstall
[12:56] <wols_> ajmorris_: wanrings don't stop compilatin
[12:56] <IndyGunFreak> jburd: tat doesn't mean you didn't do something wrong
[12:56] <IndyGunFreak> you might have some goofy hardware
[12:56] <Clyde> any idea why installer wont complete?
[12:57] <noob> sorry but i don`t know where is
[12:57] <ajmorris_> wols_, sorry, this must be what is stopping the compilation: "make[2] : *** [../../obj-x86/build/src/lib/elfload.o]  Error 1"
[12:57] <hidan> rorry: huh, too bad... wols_ was telling me that i'd need to just remove the modules.
[12:57] <Kalisto> Clyde, bad iso?
[12:57] <jburd> Yes, goofy hardware that works perfectly with Windows?
[12:57] <Clyde> freezing at 99%
[12:57] <wols_> ajmorris_: no. that's not either
[12:57] <jburd> That's rather annoying.
[12:57] <wols_> ajmorris_: full paste please
[12:57] <Clyde> i checked the disk
[12:57] <carl> hello
[12:57] <turbotek> am going to put a business internet cafe can i use it instead of using winxp
[12:57] <IndyGunFreak> noob: are you using Ubuntu, Kubuntu or Xubuntu?
[12:57] <hidan> rorry : thanks. yeah, that sounds like an easier way to solve things. ^__^ After all, I'm still extremely new to Ubuntu in general.
[12:57] <crashoverride> How do I install a program?
[12:57] <Kalisto> turbotek, yes you can
[12:57] <wols_> jburd: annyoing but often happening. linux stresses marginal, bad hardware a lot more than windows
[12:57] <jburd> I'm trying to get my family to migrate to Linux.  And so far, they have been nothing disappointed.
[12:58] <noob> ubuntu 7
[12:58] <jburd> but*
[12:58] <roryy> hidan: good luck
[12:58] <turbotek> how about the licenses is it nesesary for ubuntu?
[12:58] <macpo3> yes turbotek you can, but if you need to ask how on here then maybe you don't have the technical skills you need to set up an internet cafe anyway
[12:58] <hylje> turbotek: no
[12:58] <Kalisto> jburd, what did they not like?
[12:58] <IndyGunFreak> noob: open synaptic package manager... and do a search for "linuxdcpp"
[12:58] <hylje> turbotek: ubuntu is free to use and distribute
[12:58] <ajmorris_> wols_, : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22671/
[12:58] <wols_> turbotek: no licenses are necessary at all
[12:58] <ronybeck> what package gives me /usr/include/linux/config.h?  Or how would I find out?
[12:58] <wols_> at least none to buy
[12:58] <Kalisto> hylje, how is he going against the gpl?
[12:58] <wols_> ronybeck: your kernel headers
[12:58] <turbotek> how about the server what linux os will i use
[12:59] <crashoverride> How do I install a program?
[12:59] <ronybeck> wolki, nope it doesn't
[12:59] <hylje> Kalisto: wat
[12:59] <ronybeck> wolki, I thought exactly the same
[12:59] <ajmorris_> crashoverride, what sort of program?
[12:59] <wols_> crashoverride: in the top menubar, choose applications --> add/remove
[12:59] <Kalisto> turbotek, use freebsd or debian ;)... /me hides
[12:59] <ronybeck> wolki, I installed kernel headers but it doesn't exit
[12:59] <jburd> Kalisto, 1.  Ubuntu did not detect the video card and used the wrong resolution from the start.  2.  This caused GDM to crash after a log out.  3.  Office suites don't have language correction (something understandable).  4. VNC doesn't work with Xubuntu.  5.  VideoCDs are a pain to get working.  6. Ubuntu crashes at random times.
[12:59] <crashoverride> Pidgin or flash plugin
[12:59] <wols_> ajmorris_: in the top menubar, choose applications --> add/remove
[01:00] <IndyGunFreak> jburd: what is VNC?
[01:00] <wols_> ronybeck: what doesn't exit?
[01:00] <macpo3> quit
[01:00] <jburd> IndyGunFreak, "remote desktop"
[01:00] <IndyGunFreak> ah ok.
[01:00] <wols_> IndyGunFreak: www.tightvnc.org for example
[01:00] <IndyGunFreak> crashoverride: the pidgin deb is on sourceforge.
[01:00] <IndyGunFreak> i mean gnome-look, sorry
[01:00] <jburd> They wanted to watch a movie on Ubuntu yesterday.
[01:00] <crashoverride> Can u send me a link for it?
[01:00] <wols_> ajmorris_: ../../src/include/byteorder.h:27:31: error: cpu/mol_byteorder.h: No such file or directory
[01:00] <turbotek> am starting 11 units of pc including the server 5units will be for the games and the will be for internet surfing/office etc.
[01:00] <wols_> sorry wrong paste
[01:00] <noob> indygunfreak is say There is no matching application available.
[01:00] <jburd> And I was totally disappointed to find out that Ubuntu didn't play VCDs out of the box.
[01:01] <Clyde> does ubuntu svr have gui?
[01:01] <jburd> I sat hacking all night at something entirely trivial.
[01:01] <IndyGunFreak> noob: what repositories do you have enabled....
[01:01] <IndyGunFreak> crashoverride: hold on
[01:01] <ajmorris_> crashoverride, in applications >>add/remove, or in system >> administration >> synaptic Package Manager
[01:01] <wols_> turbotek: things like counterstrike won't work well in your cafe on ubuntu boxes
[01:01] <crashoverride> IndyGunFreak, ok, and what are repositories?
[01:01] <wols_> Clyde: you can install a GUI if you want
[01:01] <jburd> And they went to bed without watching a movie.  Children don't understand all this.  I'm not impressed.
[01:01] <noob> sorry i` m new in ubuntu
[01:01] <turbotek> yup what i mean am going to use only winxp for gamers and the rest is ubuntu
[01:02] <Kalisto> jburd, sorry to hear that. you do realize that ubuntu does not use 3rd party prop. drivers
[01:02] <ajmorris_> wols_, hmm, strange, that file is there
[01:02] <IndyGunFreak> ajmorris_: i don't think pidgin is in the repos yet... i could be wrong
[01:02] <jburd> Kalisto, yes.
[01:02] <Kalisto> or does not come with them
[01:02] <ajmorris_> IndyGunFreak, it is in the repos, i installed it
[01:02] <Clyde> i have a server, now i have desktop version on it. . . . and installer only goes to 99%
[01:02] <IndyGunFreak> ajmorris_: ok...
[01:02] <ompaul> jburd, what version of ubuntu did you install?
[01:02] <Kalisto> jburd, what were the system specs?
[01:02] <jburd> Kalisto, it did detect xorg video drivers for my intel motherboard, but not on an 845GL which is pretty common.
[01:02] <jburd> ompaul, Ubuntu Desktop official distribution.
[01:03] <IndyGunFreak> crashoverride: here's the downloadable .deb file if you want it..   http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Pidgin+2+DEB?content=57356
[01:03] <faysal125> rdrydrdd
[01:03] <jburd> Kalisto, it's a pentium 2.4 GHz, with 256 MB DDR RAM, a CD-RW drive, an Intel chipset motherboard (845G/GL), integrated sound and graphics.
[01:03] <jburd> Nothing really extraordinary.
[01:03] <IndyGunFreak> noob: do you have synaptic open still?
[01:04] <jburd> It has an 80 GB hard disk with 40 GB assigned to ubuntu
[01:04] <noob> yes
[01:04] <wols_> jburd: and what was the reason the movie didn't play?
[01:04] <Kalisto> jburd, sometimes It can take some tinkering.its not perfected yet
[01:04] <IndyGunFreak> noob: what version of Ubuntu are you using?
[01:04] <jburd> wols_, the official linux kernel does not support modified iso9660 cd file systems
[01:04] <noob> 7.04
[01:04] <ompaul> jburd, 7.04 or 6.06
[01:04] <wols_> modified in what way?
[01:04] <jburd> ompaul, 7.04
[01:05] <IndyGunFreak> noob: click Settings/Repositories... Then on the Ubuntu software tab, make sure all those boxes on that tab are checked, then reload synaptic
[01:05] <ompaul> jburd, it does download the drivers automagically
[01:05] <IndyGunFreak> then search again
[01:05] <wols_> cause mplayer and vlc should both play VCDs (if it really was a VCD) out of the box
[01:05] <noob> k min
[01:05] <jburd> wols_, VCDs are a different breed.  They use a file system linux cannot read by default.  there's a separate file system called CDFS that one has to load in order to play vcds
[01:05] <jburd> wols_, it didn't work on any of our computers running ubuntu.
[01:05] <jburd> nor for any of the 5 vcds we stuffed in
[01:06] <locust1234> greetings
[01:06] <Kalisto> jburd, mount manually and run the file with vlc? or mplayer did not work?
[01:07] <locust1234> is anyone aware of a linux voip to landline subscription service apart from skype?
[01:07] <jburd> Kalisto, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=452894&page=2
[01:07] <jburd> the last post is mine
[01:07] <jburd> I think VCD support should be included with Ubuntu
[01:07] <Kalisto> and about the screen resolution beings crewed up. windows installations have done that tons of times to me. just adjust it
[01:07] <jburd> or at least made a little easier to install
[01:07] <IndyGunFreak> crashoverride: did it work?
[01:07] <Kalisto> jburd, you know of the application called Automatix?
[01:07] <wols_> locust1234: just get one that supports SIP
[01:08] <jburd> Kalisto, nope. What is it?
[01:08] <ompaul> !automatix
[01:08] <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
[01:08] <wols_> !easybuntu
[01:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about easybuntu - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:08] <jburd> I don't have automatix
[01:08] <ferronica> cairo-dock not showing me ICONS, when i move cursor over dock just floating names come, except DC++ icon
[01:08] <Kalisto> jburd, well automatix worked for me.
[01:08] <user1> what advantages will i have in using feisty for my internet server
[01:08] <ompaul> !worksforme
[01:08] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[01:08] <IndyGunFreak> !worksforme
[01:09] <ronybeck> wolki, /usr/include/linux/config.h doesn't exist in the kernel headers
[01:09] <flohrian> !WorksForMe
[01:09] <jburd> Kalisto, yeah.  I did get vcds to play, but it's a long way around my back to hold my nose.
[01:09] <locust1234> wols_: i use voipcheap (www.voipcheap.com) , tried installing it using wine but did not work
[01:09] <IndyGunFreak> jburd: i got VCD's to play no problem with xine
[01:09] <jburd> IndyGunFreak, lucky you.
[01:09] <Kalisto> ompaul, what does Automatix break?
[01:10] <IndyGunFreak> Kalisto: lol,
[01:10] <jburd> vcds didn't even mount here.
[01:10] <jburd> and my family's kind of irritated with me
[01:10] <jburd> so I'm trying my best to get it up and working
[01:11] <ompaul> jburd, do this, stick in a video and start totem, and it will say it needs to install stuff, if it still fails it will look to install more, and it will will get tehre
[01:11] <jburd> ompaul, ok.  Trying.
[01:11] <user1> am going to setup afamily business aka internet cafe what type of os am going to use for my internet server
[01:11] <ompaul> jburd, try a seperate disk if that one has issues

[01:12] <jburd> heh.  now i can't eject my drive.  :)
[01:12] <user1> am not sure yet if feisty is strong enough to handle as server
[01:12] <jburd> Life is funny.
[01:12] <wols_> ronybeck: in debian itself it exists in linux-kernel-headers
[01:12] <ompaul> jburd, on your desktop can you see this disk?
[01:12] <Kalisto>  jburd console: eject
[01:12] <jburd> no

[01:13] <ubotu> screen is a terminal multiplexer. See http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen
[01:13] <user1> compare to winxp of course
[01:13] <ubotu> tevfi1: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:13] <rendi> can help me please
[01:13] <wols_> Kalisto: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg rather
[01:13] <IndyGunFreak> !resolution
[01:13] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto

[01:13] <rendi> sir
[01:13] <rendi> Can help ,e
[01:14] <tevfi1> I have nvidia 7950GT onboard and can't set proper resolution fo my widescreen monitor
[01:14] <rendi> hello can help me i just wanna install new theme and i donwload from http://www.gnome-look.org in gdm section but when i'm install it it say the format is invalid
[01:14] <IndyGunFreak> tevfi1: you probably need the nvidia driver
[01:14] <noob> indygunfreak  i did what now ?
[01:14] <IndyGunFreak> !nvidia
[01:14] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:14] <tevfi1> I have updated it by restricted drivers utility
[01:14] <IndyGunFreak> noob: did you install linuxdcpp?
[01:15] <tevfi1> but all resolutions are for standart 4:3 format
[01:15] <Kalisto> well i read around about Automatix and breaking and i have come to this consensus: A very large part of the problem is not that install scripts will break your system, but that they make it very hard to support and troubleshoot any problems you might have.
[01:15] <wols_> tevfi1: then Kalisto was right and you need to edit xorg.conf manually
[01:15] <IndyGunFreak> tevfi1: follow the instructions on the above site, see if that helps
[01:15] <tevfi1> ok
[01:15] <tevfi1> thanks
[01:15] <rendi> Sir
[01:15] <noob> indygunfreak  no
[01:15] <jburd> Back.
[01:16] <IndyGunFreak> Kalisto: its never caused me a problem
[01:16] <rendi> anyone can help me plsea
[01:16] <IndyGunFreak> noob: wel, i'd say tats a first step, do a search again for linuxdcpp, and see if it comes up
[01:16] <rendi> hello can help me i just wanna install new theme and i donwload from http://www.gnome-look.org in gdm section but when i'm install it it say the format is invalid
[01:16] <Kalisto> IndyGunFreak, my neither, some people just do not like it since its not with the "ubuntu" mission
[01:16] <Sh3r1ff> rendi: is it just with that theme or with all themes?
[01:16] <IndyGunFreak> Kalisto: i don't personally use it.
[01:17] <jburd> heh.  this is even funnier.  Now ubuntu has just started reading vcd's automatically and mounted the one that wasn't working all night!
[01:17] <IndyGunFreak> Kalisto: but i've put it on someone's system who i didn't feel like talking to every 5min
[01:17] <rendi> all theme
[01:17] <akyra> hi there
[01:17] <rendi> in format gz
[01:17] <jburd> ompaul, "could not read from resource"
[01:17] <rendi> tar.gz
[01:17] <Kalisto> IndyGunFreak, hehe yea an ex windows user i take it?
[01:17] <wols_> rendi: tried unpacking it yet?
[01:17] <rendi> Sh3r1ff can help me ?
[01:17] <IndyGunFreak> Kalisto: of course
[01:18] <akyra> how can i transform a file called "beatles - hey hude" in "beatles\ \-\ hey\ jude"?
[01:18] <akyra> i'm trying to reencode every mp3 in ogg
[01:18] <Sh3r1ff> rendi: you have to extract the gz file first, it is like a zip file, open it with archive manager and the theme will be in there
[01:18] <wols_> akyra: if you lose the "" on the 2nd, the filenames are the same. shell escaping
[01:18] <akyra>  mpg321 "$i" -w - | oggenc -o `echo $i | sed s/.mp3//g`.ogg -
[01:18] <tevfi1> what is sudo?
[01:19] <ompaul> jbourdon, so change the disk
[01:19] <IndyGunFreak> tevfi1: its how you run a root command in Ubuntu
[01:19] <IndyGunFreak> !sudo
[01:19] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[01:19] <akyra> tevfi1: SUper User Do
[01:19] <ompaul> jburd,  so change the disk
[01:19] <jburd> Why, how did it start working all by itself now? There's a ghost in my pc!
[01:19] <ompaul> jbourdon, sorry bad tab
[01:19] <rendi> Sh3r1ff not work here
[01:20] <akyra> wols_: when i give that command it returns an error because of empty spaces
[01:20] <Kalisto> ok a general question to everyone? does everyone use sudo  or su? i got fed up after 2 min and made sure i could su to get a lot of sys admin stuff done.
[01:20] <Sh3r1ff> rendi: can you open it with the archive manager?
[01:20] <IndyGunFreak> Kalisto: i use sudo.
[01:20] <jburd> ok now it mounts the vcd, but doesn't read :)
[01:20] <rendi> yes
[01:20] <akyra> Kalisto: i use sudo
[01:20] <jburd> however, if i use cdfs, it does read and play the movie. :)
[01:20] <jburd> So it's definitely not the disc.
[01:21] <Sh3r1ff> rendi: open it, and extract it to a directory of your liking
[01:21] <IndyGunFreak> jburd: what program are you using to play VCDs?
[01:21] <tevfi1> how can I use sudo?
[01:21] <akyra> sudo command
[01:21] <jburd> IndyGunFreak, vlc, mplayer, totem, xine.. all of them.
[01:21] <IndyGunFreak> jburd: ok.
[01:21] <akyra> sudo apt-get install some_package
[01:21] <IndyGunFreak> tevfi1: in terminal
[01:21] <jburd> error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.
[01:21] <IndyGunFreak> sudo apt-get install everything
[01:21] <jburd> that's what mplayer says
[01:21] <IndyGunFreak> sudo apt-get remove everything
[01:21] <ipx> Kalisto: I use sudo.
[01:22] <Kalisto> akyra, su ... ooohhh yeeeaaa root baby,,,, apt-get install and be cool :)
[01:22] <jburd> :-O @ everything.
[01:22] <akyra> i use su -c also
[01:23] <Kalisto> anyone use eclipse and CDT?
[01:23] <rendi> not work
[01:23] <jburd> I do.
[01:23] <rendi> it sayy
[01:23] <rendi> the file format is invalid
[01:23] <Sh3r1ff> Kalisto: i use eclipse
[01:23] <jburd> Why, what's up with eclipse and the CDT?
[01:23] <Sh3r1ff> rendi: when you extract it?
[01:23] <IndyGunFreak> Kalisto: how did you set your su password?
[01:23] <akyra> Sh3r1ff: loooool
[01:23] <Kalisto> IndyGunFreak, sudo passwd ;)
[01:24] <Sh3r1ff> akyra: did i make a joke?
[01:24] <Kalisto> jburd, is there anyway to quick ref man pages?
[01:24] <jburd> Kalisto, I think there's a project going on to do exactly that.
[01:24] <jburd> Something sponsored by Google SoC.
[01:24] <IndyGunFreak> Kalisto: knew it was something like that
[01:24] <jburd> Let me check.
[01:24] <IndyGunFreak> but ihad just pass.
[01:25] <rendi> in desktop
[01:25] <IndyGunFreak> crashoverride: did you get pidgin installed?
[01:25] <VenusianTreen> Hello! Anyone here have the strength and patience to help me with my wireless internet connection?
[01:25] <Sh3r1ff> rendi: so you canextract it?
[01:25] <Kalisto> VenusianTreen, depends on the question ;)
[01:25] <Sh3r1ff> !wifi | VenusianTreen
[01:25] <ubotu> VenusianTreen: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[01:26] <jburd> Kalisto, unfortunately, not yet.  However, that will be a good project to implement.  :)
[01:26] <VenusianTreen> Yup, I've seen the docs. My problem is that my hardware is recognised (so I have the correct drivers) but that authentication fails when trying to connect to an access point.
[01:26] <IndyGunFreak> anyone else upgraded to Opera 9.21 yet?
[01:26] <Kalisto> jburd, damn. thanks for checking. the CDT saves me a TON of time as it is but it still needs a lot more features. especially in debugging
[01:27] <oly-> anyone around who can help with my raid problems ?
[01:27] <jburd> Kalisto, yeah.
[01:27] <oly-> or know how to use mdadm to remove a raid partition
[01:27] <stefg> oly have you read !raid yet?
[01:27] <oly-> !raid
[01:27] <ubotu> Raid and LVM --> very easy guide for alternate CD : http://users.piuha.net/martti/comp/ubuntu/raid.html Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[01:28] <oly-> i have got beyond that point
[01:28] <stefg> oly-: and man mdadm is quite informative
[01:28] <oly-> i have ubuntu installed, i have 3 raid partitions working
[01:28] <oly-> but the 4th my swap one does not
[01:28] <Kalisto> VenusianTreen, maybe the access point conf?
[01:29] <oly-> i did look at man mdadm, and formulated mdadm --remove /dev/md2
[01:29] <oly-> but it did nothing :/
[01:29] <oly-> the partition was still there
[01:29] <VenusianTreen> Kalisto: it's not that - I have another PC, with a different wireless card, and that can connect fine.
[01:29] <qaws> hi, how can I set up printer pls? I need LPR protocol
[01:29] <jburd> So has anybody got VNC to work on xfce4 yet?
[01:29] <oly-> cat /proc/mdstat lists the partition but fdisk -l does not its very wierd
[01:30] <MsK`> hi
[01:30] <MsK`> why there is no ide-cs module ? where can i find it ?
[01:30] <MsK`> (module for pcmcia compact flash readers)
[01:31] <qaws> hi, how can I set up printer pls? I need LPR protocol and set local tcp/ip port, which connect me to printer
[01:31] <Kalisto> VenusianTreen, are you using WEP, WPA, DHCP?
[01:31] <VenusianTreen> In Gnome Network Manager, I have all the devices set to roaming. In this state, the drop down menu on the toolbar icon shows all the wireless access points in the neighbourhood. If I select one, though, nothing happens. 'dmesg' shows ubuntu trying to connect, but then ultimately says authentication failed. This happens even with unsecure APs
[01:31] <_spi_> jburd no... it doesn't  with vnc?
[01:31] <oly-> stefg the link in that guide is the exact one i followed
[01:32] <_spi_> jburd no... it doesn't  work with vnc?
[01:32] <wols_> VenusianTreen: mac filtering or WPA/WEP I guess
[01:32] <oly-> and ubuntu seems to work with out a swap partition just not that reliably
[01:32] <VenusianTreen> Kalisto: I use roaming, but I've tried connecting by setting in my AP details (ESSID, 128-bit WEP, DHCP) and that doesn't work either.
[01:32] <jburd> _spi_, so far it hasn't.  Remote Desktop requires an active GNOME session
[01:32] <Kalisto> VenusianTreen, have you tried connecting manually through command line?
[01:32] <r00tintheb0x> morning
[01:32] <Kalisto> VenusianTreen, btw dont use WEP.
[01:33] <jburd> And that's the annoying part, because I have to sit here and debug stuff on a computer at my in-laws.
[01:33] <qaws> hi, how can I set up printer pls? I need LPR protocol and set local tcp/ip port, which connect me to printer
[01:33] <aMMuNi2> I'm trying to install a game, and during the installation when I try to install to /usr/local/games/ it sais "No write permission to /usr/local/games" what should I do?
[01:33] <wols_> qaws: cups
[01:33] <Sh3r1ff> aMMuNix: use sudo
[01:33] <aMMuNix> ok
[01:33] <wols_> aMMuNix: run it using sudo
[01:33] <aMMuNix> silly me
[01:33] <Kalisto> jburd, cant you pipe the x session through vnc?
[01:33] <jburd> Gnome is pretty heavy weight compared to Xfce4.  I'd like to get xfce working on their computer so it works smoothly.
[01:33] <jburd> Kalisto, haven't done that yet.  How do I do that?
[01:33] <qaws> wols_: what to do with it?
[01:34] <Kalisto> jburd, one sec lemme look it up
[01:34] <aMMuNix> It won't run using sudo
[01:34] <aMMuNix> it sais "sudo: ./armyops250linux.run: command not found"
[01:34] <aMMuNix> what's the correct way to run it?
[01:35] <spikeb> try sudo sh armyops250.run
[01:35] <webmaren> how do you turn off alt-click in gnome
[01:35] <webmaren> alt-click moves the windows around
[01:35] <VenusianTreen> Kalisto: I won't use WEP. But what's the exact command line syntax, or, what parameters should I set with iwconfig?
[01:35] <wols_> qaws: install it
[01:35] <webmaren> how do i turn it off
[01:35] <kurisu> hey all, looking for a linux guru for a bit of help getting my wifi working on my toughbook. anyone feeling generous?
[01:35] <wols_> qaws: it does what you want
[01:35] <aMMuNix> spikeb, thanks
[01:35] <spikeb> aMMuNix: did that help?
[01:35] <aMMuNix> worked, but can you tell me more about that sh command?
[01:36] <spikeb> aMMuNix: i dont really know much about it
[01:36] <wols_> 1ask | kurisu
[01:36] <aMMuNix> just runs files?
[01:36] <spikeb> aMMuNix: just tells sh to run a script.
[01:36] <Kalisto> jburd, http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Use_VNC_to_connect_to_existing_X_Sessions its for gentoo but youll get the idea. should be nearly the same
[01:36] <aMMuNix> what's sh :P
[01:36] <spikeb> aMMuNix: a shell.
[01:36] <aMMuNix> ah
[01:36] <jburd> Sure.  I'll look it up.
[01:36] <kurisu> got an intel WM3B00BG that is not recognised at all
[01:36] <webmaren> nvm i googled it
[01:36] <Kalisto> jburd, sorry this is what your looking for: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Xvnc_terminal_server
[01:37] <aMMuNix> it asks me "Do you want to install symbolic links to a directory in your path?" what does that mean?
[01:37] <Kalisto> jburd, check both, im not sure now ;)
[01:37] <jburd> hehe
[01:37] <spikeb> aMMuNix: it's asking if you want it to make sure you can run it by just typing a command, instead of a whole path like /usr/local/bin/game
[01:37] <aMMuNix> ah, yes then
[01:37] <qaws> wols_: I have cupsys installed,but i dont know, where to add lpr printer
[01:38] <razone> change the PATH
[01:38] <spikeb> aMMuNix: i usually choose yes :)
[01:38] <aMMuNix> heh ok :P
[01:38] <aMMuNix> gotta start getting used to all this :P
[01:38] <wols_> qaws: there is some package which gives you the old lpr commands
[01:38] <aMMuNix> windows sucks but this takes getting used to
[01:38] <wols_> has cups in its name
[01:38] <spikeb> aMMuNix: it's different, yes.
[01:38] <Kalisto> VenusianTreen, i think you can google that "ubuntu wifi"
[01:38] <wols_> and adding the printer: localhost:631
[01:39] <spikeb> aMMuNix: just give it some time and keep being curious, and you will find yourself comfortable in no time at all.
[01:39] <aMMuNix> ok spikeb :)
[01:40] <bakert> Anyone running Ubuntu on a MacBook?  What's the most annoying thing missing (if anything)?
[01:40] <qaws> wols_: i see package LPR, but it want to remove ubuntu_desktop - is it ok?
[01:40] <tim167> i have this 'menu button' which normally opens the context menu just like right-clicking, is it possible to activate this in ubuntu ?
[01:41] <lnx^> hey
[01:42] <lnx^> has anyone got suspend2 working on feisty?
[01:42] <lnx^> the normal hibernate stopped working for me when i upgraded from edgy
[01:42] <lnx^> besides, it's always been so slow
[01:42] <roryy> tim167: if you mean the key next to the windows button, my ubuntu (6.10) seems to do that already (in nautilus, at least)
[01:42] <wols_> qaws: no. that package is not ok
[01:42] <r0bb4n__> fonts in aMSN look awful, anyone knows a way aroud this ?
[01:42] <wols_> it's not a package named lpr you want
[01:43] <wols_> qaws: http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/net/cupsys-bsd
[01:43] <qaws> wols_: i have this package
[01:44] <ice_9> does anyone know where I can get all the HP printer drivers for linux
[01:44] <wols_> then you have lpr
[01:44] <qaws> wols_: but it have only raw, not lpr
[01:44] <Taxman> aMMuNix: a good tip is that you can usually google for the main words or the whole message and find out what it's talking about. in that case symbolic links and PATH might help you know what's going on. You can also type man PATH or man -k symbolic and see what it gives you
[01:44] <wols_> "usr/bin/lpr"
[01:44] <wols_> then create the queue
[01:44] <qaws> how?
[01:44] <wols_> localhost.631
[01:44] <ice_9> trying to connect to network printer and I need driver s for a 4000 laserJet
[01:44] <qaws> what is it?
[01:44] <wols_> an url?
[01:44] <tim167> roryy: yes the one next to the windoze button, you're right it works in nautilus, but not in 'freemind' for example, which is a java gui app i think

[01:45] <VenusianTreen> Kalisto: Is there a way I can pass you the output from my attempts to connect on the command line, or should I just dump the output into this channel? (it's about 30 lines)
[01:45] <ice_9> !printers
[01:45] <wols_> VenusianTreen: pastebin
[01:45] <ubotu> Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows

[01:46] <GrimReeper> How can I make a partition on a 2nd harddriver from within Ubuntu 7.04?  Disk is beeind recognized though it is not know as a volume
[01:46] <tim167> roryy, it also doesnt work in fluxbox...
[01:46] <wols_> GrimReeper: run a fdisk program on it to create a partition, format partition, add it to fstab
[01:47] <BigToe7000> I just lost the game :(
[01:47] <Madsy> Why doesn't Feisty support WPA security out of the box? :\
[01:47] <rambo3> GrimReeper, gparted
[01:47] <GrimReeper> can I run fdisk from within the GUI of Ubuntu ?   though it was an Application only on the win98 boot disk
[01:47] <VenusianTreen> wols_: please can you elaborate? Is that a web page, a command line tool?
[01:47] <wols_> !pastebin
[01:47] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[01:48] <rambo3> GrimReeper, gparted  is GUI for fdisk
[01:48] <Madsy> GrimReeper: What partition type do you want to make?
[01:48] <GrimReeper> K, trying to install/run it now
[01:48] <rambo3> GrimReeper, you have also cfdisk
[01:48] <VenusianTreen> wols_: Just answered my own question - seems to be a webpage: pastebin.com
[01:48] <GrimReeper> Just for storage. I got a 80GB and a 160GB maxtor harddisk, the 160GB is useless at the moment
[01:48] <GrimReeper> so it should be a EXT3 if I am correct?
[01:48] <wols_> VenusianTreen: that woN#t work well. will take ages to load
[01:48] <wols_> do not use it
[01:48] <wols_> GrimReeper: yes
[01:49] <kurisu> i have an intel WM3B2200BG wifi card that is not recognised, lspci & lshw do not show it... dmesg says that i have 2 buses hidden behind others
[01:49] <Kalisto> reiser the "killer" fs :D
[01:49] <kurisu> anyone got any ideas how i would fix this?
[01:49] <mha_666> Hi everyone..
[01:50] <wols_> kurisu: paste the full lspci output please?
[01:51] <mha_666> I'm new to linux and I got a small problem... after the installation everthing was fine but after the second restart the ubuntu is stuck at a resolution 640x480
[01:51] <wols_> it's kinda unlikely a intel wifi card enabled PC (notebook) has more than one PCI bus...
[01:51] <mha_666> how can I change it back to 1280x1024
[01:51] <wols_> !resolution
[01:51] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[01:51] <VenusianTreen> wols_: I can't even paste my output, I get a database error when I try and do so. Any other suggestions as to how I should dump my output?
[01:51] <timmyw29> funny, i have the same question with that 1280x1024
[01:51] <wols_> VenusianTreen: get a DB error on what site?
[01:52] <wols_> timmyw29: when X is not running: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:52] <VenusianTreen> wols_: on pastebin.com
[01:52] <kmag> Will upgrade-manager force me to reboot after dist-upgrading from Dapper to Edgy?  The last time I upgraded to Edgy, my system would crash about 50% of the time before giving me a login.  I'd rather go right into an upgrade from Edgy to Feisty without attempting a restart in Edgy.
[01:52] <kurisu> wols_, can i print lspci to a file?
[01:52] <Geeerd> I installed new drivers for gforce 6150 from nvidia and now beryl dont respond
[01:52] <wols_> kurisu: lspci > file
[01:53] <phazeman> are there any issues with geforce 7600 and ubuntu ?
[01:53] <timmyw29> xubuntu logged me off last time i tried that dpkg command
[01:53] <timmyw29> a friend tipped me onto it
[01:53] <timmyw29> i'll have another crack right now though
[01:53] <timmyw29> just to doublecheck
[01:53] <wols_> timmyw29: then you didn't do it right. did you do it in a console? without X running at all?
[01:53] <GrimReeper> how can I stard Gparted as Root in Feisty /
[01:53] <wols_> GrimReeper: sudo
[01:54] <mrigns__> use gksudo instead
[01:54] <GrimReeper> so   sudo  /bla bla bla /gparted ?
[01:54] <GrimReeper> gksudo  /sdfsdfsd/gparted ?
[01:54] <excellent> GrimReeper, System -> Administration -> Gnome partition editor
[01:55] <GrimReeper> K, didn't find it there the 1e time I looked "woopsy"
[01:55] <GrimReeper> ;-)
[01:55] <kmag> Are any of you running Feisty on AMD64?
[01:56] <Kalisto> AMD128 pwned!
[01:56] <tim167> how do i upload a folder with its content with ftp ?
[01:56] <GrimReeper> Do I make it as primairy because it is the 1e and only one on that harddisk, or not because there is a primairy already on the 1e harddisk?
[01:56] <mha_666> the screen resolution dialog is showing only 640x480 how can I get the 1280x1024 back...can someone help me
[01:56] <wols_> tim167: a client which has recursive upload/download
[01:56] <GrimReeper> I keep forgetting if there is 1 primair for each harddisk or for each system :+
[01:56] <ipx> GrimReeper: only "sudo gparted" should work
[01:56] <wols_> GrimReeper: neither.
[01:56] <tim167> (the put command can only send one file at a time, it has no -r option afaict)
[01:56] <nblracer> How can i have it so i can remotly connect to the computer, even when no one is loged on?
[01:56] <tim167> wols: can you recommend one ?
[01:57] <wols_> there is room for a max of 4 primary partitions
[01:57] <mrigns__> ipx you shouldn't use sudo with gui based apps.
[01:57] <wols_> or you make up to 3 primaries and an extended
[01:57] <GrimReeper> @wols_ : how do U mean?  I can either choose Primairy or Extended?
[01:57] <mrigns__> gksudo oder kdesu
[01:57] <ipx> mrigns__: how come? it works perfectly fine?
[01:57] <Kalisto> nblracer, apt-get install ssh; /etc/iniit.d/ssh start
[01:57] <wols_> tim167: I only use console based ones and I doubt you like them
[01:57] <mrigns__> ipx it coudl break you system
[01:57] <GrimReeper> K, so primairy should be sollected?
[01:57] <ipx> T_T
[01:57] <LjL> !fixres > mha_666    (mha_666, see the private message from Ubotu)
[01:58] <wols_> nblracer: X or console?
[01:58] <nblracer> X
[01:58] <nblracer> im using vnc right now
[01:58] <wols_> nblracer: same session or different one?
[01:58] <phazeman> !fixres > phazeman
[01:58] <nblracer> but i first have to login on to ubuntu then connect with vnc
[01:58] <tim167> wols_ yes, i use 'ftp' now, text interface, i do like it :), its just i cant get it to send more than one file at a time..
[01:58] <wols_> tim167: lftp or ncftp
[01:58] <kurisu> wols_, sent my lspci output to you
[01:58] <VenusianTreen> wols: ubotu: Sorry, guys, I missed your link to the ubuntu pastebin. I've now managed to paste my output.
[01:59] <xororand> what's the standard way of getting a newer kernel version (than 2.6.15-28) on ubuntu without building my own? is there a newer prebuilt one?
[01:59] <wols_> kurisu: how?
[01:59] <Kalisto> wow i just updates from dapper to feisty one distro at a time. nearly done. wish me a good restart and hope nothing is too broken :D
[01:59] <wols_> kurisu: there are pastebins you know
[01:59] <tim167> wols_ ah ncftp is already installed, i'll look at that then thanks
[01:59] <wols_> xororand: install as you install all other programs
[02:00] <VenusianTreen> Kalisto: Here's the result of my attempt to connect to wireless via command line: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22677/. Can you see if I'm missing something?
[02:00] <wols_> xororand: add/remove programs. that is if you run feisty or any other current ubuntu version
[02:00] <xororand> wols_: i can't find a newer version than 2.6.15-28
[02:00] <Taxman> xororand: if there's a newer package available use that, otherwise it's build you own
[02:00] <wols_> xororand: what ubuntu version do you run?
[02:00] <xororand> wols_: it's the installation of a friend, and the version is DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS"
[02:01] <xororand> 6.06 dapper
[02:01] <rambo3> VenusianTreen, sudo dhclient wlan0
[02:01] <wols_> VenusianTreen: dhclient wlan0
[02:01] <wols_> VenusianTreen: bfore ifconfig
[02:01] <stefg> !backports | xororand
[02:01] <ubotu> xororand: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging
[02:01] <xororand> thanks
[02:02] <stefg> xororand: but i can tell you already that you'll probably have to bake your own kernel if you want anything different from 2.6.15
[02:02] <stefg> in dapper
[02:02] <Taxman> what's the chance of splitting up this channel so there's not 1200 people in one room with all the flood?
[02:02] <wols_> tim167: none
[02:03] <wols_> Taxman: ^^^
[02:03] <LjL> Taxman: zero, and also, it would work much better if we kept on topic
[02:03] <xororand> stefg: i'll try to upgrade to edgy then
[02:03] <kurisu> wols_, link of pastebins?
[02:03] <stefg> xororand: any particular reason you need a newer kernel? and why edgy? Feisty is current.
[02:04] <Kalisto> VenusianTreen, yes try dhcpd or dhclient
[02:04] <GrimReeper> I have succesfully made a 160GB Ext3 partiation. Now the only question remains, how can I add it to /home or make a other dir for it (which can be used and accesed for storage by all users)?
[02:04] <xororand> stefg: better wlan driver support in newer kernels
[02:04] <xororand> stefg: can i upgrade directly from dapper to feisty?
[02:04] <melange> How do you change you default shell?
[02:05] <Kalisto> xororand, i did it step by step
[02:05] <Taxman> GrimReeper: create a mountpoint /usr/home/storage and mount it there
[02:05] <xororand> Kalisto: edgy than feisty?
[02:05] <xororand> s/than/then/
[02:05] <kurisu> wols_, http://paste.uni.cc/15824
[02:05] <Kalisto> xororand, yes just to check what would be broken after edgy
[02:06] <wols_> kurisu:you did not send anything to me. and the proper way to do what you want to do is pasting it in a pastebin and paste the link to that
[02:06] <stefg> xororand: no, that's not supported.... edgy is an upgrade problem-child. So i'd consider a fresh Fesity install on a different partition and copy over what's needed. see !clone
[02:06] <Kalisto> brb restart.. wish me luck!! feisty here i come
[02:06] <sirzwoep> i want beryl to start up when i log in in ubuntu. what's the command in sessions?
[02:06] <aboyousif> any emacs users here ?
[02:06] <Taxman> GrimReeper: that's the easiest way to add it in, though you can move all of usr/home over too
[02:06] <kurisu> wols_, http://paste.uni.cc/15824, sorry still early here
[02:06] <stefg> !clone xororand
[02:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about clone xororand - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:06] <xororand> stefg: okay thank, though i can't expect this from my friend
[02:06] <stefg> !clone | xororand
[02:06] <ubotu> xororand: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type  dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages , move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type  sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade  - See also !automate

[02:09] <kurisu> wols_, thats the problem, dmesg says that i have 2 hidden PCI busses
[02:09] <rendi> yes Taxman
[02:09] <rendi> can help me Taxman ?
[02:09] <Taxman> GrimReeper: you don't need anything added in gparted, you just add a line to /etc/fstab that sets the new partition to mount automatically
[02:09] <wols_> kurisu: where and how does it say that? paste the line please?
[02:09] <GrimReeper> K i'll try ;-)

My guess now is that I have to put the line staigh under teh HDE1 mount. Strangly though, in the file like it does not mention the /home dir for hde1

[02:15] <lizili> :(who can help me ?
[02:15] <aMMuNix> how can I see the real current refresh rate? all I see in the screen resolution window is 50Hz
[02:15] <timmyw29> Xubuntu is my first linux experience... just started with it today.
[02:15] <VenusianTreen> Kalisto: rambo3: wols_: dhclient! That was the command I was trying to remember. Unfortunately, it doesn't help. It seems there are two problems - 'unknown hardware address type 801', and 'No DHCPOFFERS received'. My latest attempts can be found on: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22678/
[02:16] <AnAnt> anyone logs on a windows domain (active directory) from linux here ?
[02:16] <ikonia> AnAnt: I have done in the past
[02:16] <AnAnt> Hello, when I am  logged to a windows domain (ActiveDirectory) from Ubuntu, I cannot access their USB drives, how can I solve that ?
[02:16] <ferronica> (cairo-dock:9399): librsvg-CRITICAL **: rsvg_handle_get_dimensions: assertion `handle' failed
[02:16] <Hobbsee> timmyw29: you may want to look into #xubuntu irc channel, for xubuntu-specific help, if you dont get it here
[02:16] <rambo3> askand, under layout ? Generic 105-key (Intl) PC nad Sswedish should be chosen
[02:16] <AnAnt> also when I su to a local user I get this error: libnotify-Message: Unable to get session bus: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
[02:16] <timmyw29> oh, i wasn't aware of one! thanks hobbsee
[02:16] <stefg> xororand: wouldn't it be an option to save the /home-dir (maybe portions of /etc) and the package list on thumb-drive and just reinstall feisty? is this a heavily customized dapper, or something that was just installed and used?
[02:16] <GrimReeper> Looking into the Fstab file now. File looks scarry ;-)   There is a comment line HDE1 which mentions the first harddisk, then a commecnt say HDE5 which names all "external" devices.  My guess now is that I have to put the line staigh under teh HDE1 mount. Strangly though, in the file like it does not mention the /home dir for hde1
[02:17] <AnAnt> ikonia: you know solution to any of those problems ?
[02:17] <ikonia> AnAnt: sounds like your pam rules are borked. You have to setup some pretty specific pam rules for that to work
[02:17] <AnAnt> ikonia: how ?
[02:17] <uber_newb> hey all, i'm having issues with burning dL dvd's w/ k3b i have dvdrw-+tools
[02:17] <Hobbsee> timmyw29: no problem
[02:17] <aMMuNix> how can I see the real current refresh rate? all I see in the screen resolution window is 50Hz and can choose to set 57 or 58
[02:17] <ikonia> AnAnt: you'll have to research pam if this is the problem as there are a LOT of rules that need changing
[02:18] <aMMuNix> (my screen supports 75Hz
[02:18] <AnAnt> ikonia: a LOT ?
[02:18] <aMMuNix> )
[02:18] <AnAnt> ikonia: for disk access ?!
[02:18] <ikonia> AnAnt: yes, a lot
[02:18] <rambo3> VenusianTreen, you need to add route for dhclient
[02:18] <stefg> uber_newb: please be specific about ubunt-version and error-messages you got
[02:18] <ikonia> AnAnt: its not disk access - its generic authentication rules that need to be changed,
[02:18] <rambo3> VenusianTreen, also iwconfig needs channel
[02:19] <ikonia> AnAnt: you may also want to look at the windows policy rules as depending on your setup (I've not done this part) you can get it to use the windows policy

[02:21] <jburd> ubuntu.users.size() - xubuntu.users.size() = 1100
[02:21] <jburd> :P
[02:21] <uber_newb> i'm about to try using dd to create an iso that is gz and try to burn that
[02:21] <timmyw29> cheers ikonia
[02:21] <uber_newb> but i know the size will be greater than 7gb
[02:21] <ikonia> uber_newb: you don't use dd to create an iso
[02:21] <uber_newb> ~7.5
[02:21] <stefg> uber_newb: hmmmm , a k3b temp-folder on a fat32-filesystem ?
[02:21] <nnacht> Hey, anyone has experience with an external monitor for desktop extension under unbuntu?
[02:21] <jburd> However, I'm starting to prefer xfce4 more over gnome simply because it's fast and lightweight.
[02:21] <ikonia> uber_newb: you also can't burn .gz isos
[02:21] <jburd> Runs pretty smoothly.
[02:21] <jburd> Applications launch much faster.
[02:22] <ikonia> jburd: thats just personal opinion
[02:22] <Kalisto> VenusianTreen, are you sure you have the correct driver installed?
[02:22] <stefg> uber_newb: or too little temp-space for k3b
[02:22] <uber_newb> ok let me get this straight
[02:22] <jburd> ikonia, well, the personal opinion is my choice, but the statement about it being comparatively lightweight and faster is fact.
[02:22] <uber_newb> dd can't make *.iso
[02:22] <ikonia> jburd: nope
[02:22] <jburd> Why?
[02:23] <uber_newb> and k3b won't burn *.iso.gz
[02:23] <ikonia> uber_newb: no, dd is a block level file replication
[02:23] <ikonia> uber_newb: ooh it will burn it, just not as an iso image
[02:23] <uber_newb> dd if=/dev/hdc of=/home/sam/mycd.iso bs=2048 conv=notrunc
[02:23] <stefg> uber_newb: afaik k3b needs to prepare an image first, and needs as much temp-space as the media will hold
[02:23] <uber_newb> i've been doing this for quite a while
[02:23] <NuclearMailman> If ubuntu is installed on a separate hdd than windows, and grub is on ubuntu's hdd, could i format the ubuntu hdd and still have windows start normally and whatnot?
[02:24] <uber_newb> i've got the temp space
[02:24] <uber_newb> i'm not using windows
[02:24] <ikonia> uber_newb: thats not an iso image, thats just ".iso" extension
[02:25] <stefg> NuclearMailman: no... grub will sit in the first hdd's MBR, no matter where ubuntu is installed
[02:25] <uber_newb> i'm confused.  i can mount -o that file...
[02:25] <CokeNCode> when it says 'you have new mail' when i login as root. How can I read that mail ?
[02:25] <krustig> What the name of the graphic interfac of the FTP basic software on ubuntu pleased ?
[02:25] <ikonia> uber_newb: you can mount that file ?
[02:25] <NuclearMailman> How would I go about removing ubuntu and grub to restore it to normal booting then?
[02:25] <kurisu> is anyone here using ubuntu on a Toughbook?
[02:25] <hermann> y
[02:25] <ikonia> NuclearMailman: just boot from a windows cd and use fixmbr
[02:25] <uber_newb> mount -o loop
[02:26] <uber_newb> yep
[02:26] <ikonia> uber_newb: I'm VERY surprised by that
[02:26] <stefg> NuclearMailman: you have to get to a win-konsole and run win's fixmbr command from there
[02:26] <ikonia> uber_newb: maybe dd has evolved but I don't see how that will work
[02:26] <NuclearMailman> I don't have a windows cd
[02:26] <ikonia> NuclearMailman: get one
[02:26] <James_> How do I play VCDs?
[02:26] <nevalja> help pls
[02:26] <nevalja> hi to all
[02:26] <uber_newb> yes, for example so i won't have to use a cd rom to play a game i make an image of it and mount it via loop
[02:26] <mahmoud__> wols_, feisty uses upstart instead of sysVinit (/etc/event.d)
[02:26] <nevalja> Checking for gtk+-2.0 >= 2.6... no
[02:26] <nevalja>         gtk+ >= 2.6 not found.
[02:26] <nevalja>         Note: You might have the lib but not the headers
[02:26] <nevalja> 
[02:26] <NuclearMailman> Some sort of windows boot cd, or a windows install cd?
[02:27] <akyra> j #italia
[02:27] <stefg> NuclearMailman: a win98 floppy will do, too. use fdsik /mbr then
[02:27] <ikonia> nevalja: if you don't understand that you shouldn't be trying to use ./configure
[02:27] <NuclearMailman> no floppy drive
[02:27] <ikonia> uber_newb: but thats just a block level copy so I don't see how it can make an iso image
[02:27] <nevalja> ikonia ./configure what
[02:27] <uber_newb> i'm so confused... maybe it's a matter of semantics but the language is confusing
[02:28] <ikonia> nevalja: your running ./configure
[02:28] <uber_newb> the first command i learned w/linux was dd
[02:28] <stefg> NuclearMailman: freedos on CD
[02:28] <rambo3> nevalja,  i am guessing you need gtk+- dev package
[02:28] <uber_newb> second was cdrecord
[02:28] <r00tintheb0x> word
[02:28] <nevalja> yes
[02:28] <r00tintheb0x> uber_newb, thats a good 1st command to learn :)
[02:29] <ikonia> nevalja: so a.) you shouldn't be doing that unless you have a real need to b.) you shouldn't be doing it if you don't know what it does c.) are you aware it will break your ubuntu package manager dependency tree
[02:29] <uber_newb> i've been dd cd's to iso to burn them to cd's w/ cd record for years
[02:29] <VenusianTreen> Kalisto: I'm using the rt73usb module that was provided with Ubuntu 7.04. If it isn't the correct driver, how am I able to see all the wireless networks in my neighbourhood? Or are you suggesting that perhaps the driver is only good for seeing APs, but not connecting to them?
[02:29] <nevalja> oooooo
[02:29] <rambo3> nevalja to nevalja
[02:29] <r00tintheb0x> yeah
[02:29] <uber_newb> so when cdrecord grabs an iso made by dd it's just a trick to make cdrecord think it's an iso
[02:30] <r00tintheb0x> yep uber_newb
[02:30] <r00tintheb0x> :D
[02:31] <uber_newb> my god, my commands are tricking each other will the social engineering ever stop!!!
[02:32] <VenusianTreen> rambo3: I used iwconfig to set the channel, didn't help. Please can you elaborate on how I should a. discover the route to the DHCP server, given that I have an existing ethernet connection, and b. set the route in dhclient.
[02:32] <NuclearMailman> could i use a ubuntu livecd(which i already have) to fix the master boot record on the main hdd?
[02:32] <uber_newb> ok, my modus operandi, is to use the following... but make an iso.
[02:32] <ipx> Anyone knows the solution to why cedega gives 3d-acceleration: failed with ATI-cards?
[02:33] <uber_newb> dd if=/dev/sda bs=512 conv=sync,noerror | gzip -c | ssh -c blowfish ubernewb@192.168.x.x "dd of=ubuntu_backupFiesty5262007.gz bs=512"
[02:33] <uber_newb> no if i renamed it ubuntu_backupFiesty5262007.img or .iso would it really matter?
[02:34] <stefg> uber_newb: all in all it sounds like you are dealing with file-system issues, not hardware issues. I#m not sure iso9660 supports files over 4GB size (anyone can tell?). you gotta use UDF then
[02:34] <mjr> iso9660 doesn't
[02:34] <uber_newb> udf
[02:34] <rambo3> VenusianTreen, it should be specified in your router something like 192.168.0.X or 10.0.0.X  .example :  sudo route add default gw 192.168.0.1
[02:34] <uber_newb> aaaaaaaaah
[02:34] <uber_newb> one for ubuntu overlords
[02:35] <uber_newb> what's the name of the "official" bot on this channel
[02:35] <soundless> Hi could someone forward me to a channel where people MIGHT help me learning to program
[02:35] <stefg> !ubotu | uber_newb
[02:35] <ubotu> uber_newb: I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[02:35] <predaeus> soundless, what language?
[02:36] <NuclearMailman> it seems i should have backed up my mbr, but i don't recall doing that, is there a way to fix my mbr now?
[02:36] <r00tintheb0x> soundless, what kind of programming do you want to do.
[02:36] <r00tintheb0x> Per, Python, C?
[02:36] <r00tintheb0x> Perl*
[02:36] <Frogzoo> NuclearMailman: is the machine still up?
[02:36] <soundless> I don't know I'm a total noob I know the basics and I did some 'scripting in Second Life' but I just want to start to learn some programming doesn't matter which language
[02:36] <uber_newb> NuclearMailman.. have you lost bootability
[02:36] <rambo3> Visual Basic!
[02:36] <rambo3> .net
[02:36] <soundless> visual basic on linux?
[02:36] <NuclearMailman> It still boots, but ubuntu and grub are still installed
[02:37] <r00tintheb0x> soundless, i'd sugguest Perl or Java. I use a lot of perl for network adminstration tasks.
[02:37] <uber_newb> assembly, all superlinux gurus program in assembly
[02:37] <NuclearMailman> i'd like to uninstall ubuntu, as it's kind of useless to me. it was okay to poke around in, but i could use the space it takes up for other stuff
[02:37] <soundless> which one is easier to learn?
[02:37] <VenusianTreen> rambo3: would this be the address listed in the 'Gateway' column for the 'default' row in the output of the 'route' command?
[02:37] <uber_newb> i can barely spell so that rule me out
[02:37] <NuclearMailman> frogzoo: yeah, i'm still using it right now
[02:37] <Frogzoo> NuclearMailman: sudo update-grub
[02:38] <stefg> NuclearMailman: so what? boot to win, get a concole there, fixmbr , grub is nuked... then you can safely remove the ubuntu-partition
[02:38] <thug> why when i click to extract the files from a rar or tar doesnt do anything ?
[02:38] <r00tintheb0x> soundless, perl is fairly straight forward.
[02:38] <r0bb4n_> i have installed tcl / tk 8.5 from source, but when i try to install amsn from source it cannot find the tcl language, suggestions please ?
[02:38] <r0bb4n_> "configure: error: Unable to find Tcl directory or Tcl"
[02:38] <r00tintheb0x> thug, you probably dont have rar supoport installed.
[02:38] <soundless> I do :P
[02:38] <uber_newb> using dd to back up the MBR use the following
[02:38] <uber_newb> dd if=/dev/hda of=backup-of-hda-mbr count=1 bs=512
[02:38] <NuclearMailman> I'm running windows now, but do you mean boot with some sort of windows install cd?
[02:38] <kurisu> does anyone know  how to resolve this please: PCI: Bus #06 (-#09) is hidden behind transparent bridge #01 (-#01)
[02:39] <uber_newb> dd rocks
[02:39] <Frogzoo> NuclearMailman: oh if you're in windows, you'll need to boot a cd
[02:39] <r00tintheb0x> yeah it does uber, you can do a lot of stuff with it.
[02:39] <Frogzoo> !grub | NuclearMailman
[02:39] <ubotu> NuclearMailman: 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
[02:39] <soundless> omg lol -.-
[02:39] <r0bb4n_> did not get eny error on ./configure, make & make install, need som expert to look at it ;)
[02:39] <thug> r00tintheb0x course i have ... it does extract the file but only when i select the files ... it doesnt if i select the whole directory from that archive ...
[02:39] <r0bb4n_> any*
[02:39] <ikonia> r0bb4n_: whats the problem ?
[02:39] <soundless> anyway ty r00t I'll try PERL then ty ^_^
[02:39] <r00tintheb0x> thug, it being file roller? Or are you using a command line?
[02:39] <VenusianTreen> soundless: You're on the verge of starting a religious war here, asking what language. I'm going to add fuel to the fire with my recommendation: Learn Python. Certainly far easy to learn than Perl, and it's certainly much easier to read and understand your programs if you come back and look at them a day later.
[02:40] <thug> r00tintheb0x ark
[02:40] <NuclearMailman> Is ther some sort of Windows repair CD, or just a general windows install cd?
[02:40] <r0bb4n_> ikonia: cannot build amsn, it conplain about not finding tcl / tk
[02:40] <r00tintheb0x> thug, is the file type you're trying to extract accociated with Ark?
[02:40] <ikonia> NuclearMailman: you've been given tons of options
[02:40] <uber_newb> chao, i'll be back via privproxy and tor... grrrrrrrrrrrrr.
[02:40] <rambo3> Perl sucks btw
[02:40] <r0bb4n_> i did build tcl / tk from cvs right
[02:40] <ikonia> r0bb4n_: why are you not using the one out of the ubuntu repo's
[02:40] <Frogzoo> rambo3: lies - perl rox
[02:40] <r0bb4n_> the fonts look awful
[02:40] <soundless> well venesian a lot of people recommend python... you could be right...
[02:41] <ikonia> r0bb4n_: well you've totally messed up your ubuntu dependency and package manager tree
[02:41] <ProN00b> can anyone tell me how to completely encrypt the / partition ?
[02:41] <r00tintheb0x> thug, you can also start ark from the command line and get a lot more information on what is going on and why it isnt opening your files. That's what I'd sugguest you do.
[02:41] <davidjxyz> q
[02:41] <soundless> but I can't join that channel for some reason :P
[02:41] <ikonia> ProN00b: you can't really as it will be unusable
[02:41] <Kalisto> thats what i like to see baby: OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc. ;D
[02:41] <nevalja> rambo3 pomoc
[02:41] <ProN00b> ikonia, why ?
[02:41] <ikonia> ProN00b: as it won't be readable
[02:41] <ikonia> ProN00b: so won't boot
[02:42] <r00tintheb0x> brb, going to install on a different hard drive
[02:42] <Frogzoo> well you could have a separate /boot & encrypt /
[02:42] <rambo3> Perl GUI programs rox  .
[02:42] <Slart> My firefox has started crashing every now and then with an error message "Floating point exception (core dumped)".. anyone experiencing this?
[02:42] <r0bb4n_> ikonia: hm, i will google, find a way around this
[02:42] <ikonia> r0bb4n_: there are plenty of ways
[02:42] <VenusianTreen> soundless: and Python is more lightweight than Java. Quick, before anyone fills your head with confusing and conflicting advice :). Go look at the tutorial on http://docs.python.org/tut/
[02:42] <rambo3> nevalja, whats the problem?
[02:42] <ikonia> r0bb4n_: but you've pretty much messed up your ubuntu install
[02:42] <r0bb4n_> ;)
[02:42] <ProN00b> theres a way to do it without leaving /boot unencrypted, i think luks can do that
[02:43] <ikonia> Frogzoo: where would he keep the encyption tools binaries
[02:43] <nevalja> i wont instal linuxdcpp
[02:43] <Frogzoo> ikonia: you'd have to build that into initd
[02:43] <saymeanickname> i need a nickname
[02:43] <ikonia> Frogzoo: exactly so if he does something like a kernel update he'll be screwed
[02:43] <ikonia> as I said its not worth the effort
[02:43] <r0bb4n_> ikonia: ;) just installed ubuntu so it's not a big thing but thx for your comment
[02:43] <soundless> VenusianTreen, I did look at it I did follow it but it doesn't really help... I mean I need to learn some build in functions cause I've found out that it's a lot easier to learn while trying.. just reading doesn't help... that's why I need support
[02:44] <ikonia> r0bb4n_: why are you not using amsn from the repos
[02:44] <Frogzoo> ikonia: no, just need to recreate the initrd image - but that's usual
[02:44] <ikonia> Frogzoo: yes, with the encyption tools
[02:44] <r0bb4n_> ikonia: because the fonts look awful, not antialiasing
[02:44] <rambo3> nevalja, ok it s pretty simple if you  check out configure output.  use "apt-cache search" for missing   dev packages
[02:44] <VenusianTreen> soundless: You mean you are trying to learn how to implement your own functions, or trying to learn what built-in functions Python offers?
[02:44] <r0bb4n_> ikonia: looks like linux did 1997
[02:45] <thug> r00tintheb0x it does open the files if i double click it ... its just doesnt extract the whole directory from the archive with all the files inside .. i have to select the files myself and extract ...
[02:45] <ikonia> !offtopic > venusiantreen
[02:45] <nevalja> ok thx
[02:45] <Qball> is enderson maia in here?
[02:45] <soundless> VenusianTreen, the built-in functions.. cause I know the basics..
[02:45] <ikonia> Qball: have a look
[02:45] <ferronica> how to change icon size in inkscape
[02:45] <r0bb4n_> ikonia:  14px size of the fonts, not that nice
[02:45] <Qball> dunno if he uses a diff. nick?
[02:45] <ferronica> from 128 pixel to 48 pixel
[02:45] <ikonia> r0bb4n_: just change the fonts ?
[02:45] <Kalisto> umm im using gnome panel. and my App, Places and System tags are located to the very right ON the bar, how can i move them to the left?
[02:45] <r0bb4n_> ikonia: it's about the tcl
[02:46] <soundless> VenusianTreen, + I could use some GUI help I really want to start building GUI's (tried glade with no suc6 0,0)
[02:46] <r0bb4n_> ikonia: tcl 8.5 will do it, ubuntu provide 8.4
[02:46] <ikonia> r0bb4n_: fair enough, you seem reasonable confident in what your doing
[02:46] <r0bb4n_> ikonia: thx mate,
[02:46] <override> Hello guys. I have problem with Ubuntu 7.04. I booted CD, I choose "Start or Install Ubuntu", but Installation did not starting. Login windows starts only. Login: root, pass: root dont work. Any ideas?
[02:47] <ikonia> override: why do you need to login as root ?
[02:47] <ikonia> override: why are you not logging in as the user your created during the install
[02:47] <rambo3> nevalja, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=193984
[02:47] <soundless> I think he meant the installation didn't start
[02:47] <VenusianTreen> soundless: Oh, by the way, here's a free book I found invaluable when I was learning Python (still do, for that matter): http://www.diveintopython.org/. Mark Pilgrim starts by posing some real world problems he faced, and shows how he solved them in Python.
[02:48] <ikonia> soundless: so whats the "logging in as root" stuff he's on about ?
[02:48] <ikonia> only the login window starts ??
[02:48] <override> ikonia - so what i should do to start install?
[02:48] <CokeNCode> oh jeeze
[02:48] <override> yeap
[02:48] <CokeNCode> firefox is being a buggy resource hog again
[02:48] <ikonia> override: click the icon
[02:48] <soundless> VenusianTreen: wow thnx I'll try the book ty ^_^
[02:48] <override> What icon?
[02:48] <ikonia> the one that says "install" on the desktop
[02:48] <soundless> ikonia, no clue about that :P
[02:48] <override> But i cant login
[02:48] <ikonia> override: you login as the user you created during the install
[02:48] <azamat> does anyone know a program that generates daily/weekly/monthly statistics from the gnome-system-monitor?
[02:49] <override> NO, i even cant INSTALL, i booted up a CD, and Login window show up
[02:49] <ikonia> azamat: not that I'm aware of as system-monitor is real time - non-logging
[02:49] <anticlockwise_> override: this should not happen, there shouldn't be a login in window during installation
[02:49] <Frogzoo> CokeNCode: couple of things - you enabled pipelining? disabled ipv6? set a path & size on your cache?
[02:49] <ikonia> override: then you have the wrong cd as the live cd auto logs you in
[02:49] <jawee> I killed my root password on accident, so I'm on a Puppy Live cd. Is there any way to recover it?
[02:49] <jawee> Well not killed, I forgot what I changed it to
[02:49] <override> I downloaded yesterday from Ubuntu Site... BTW Thanks for all help ;p
[02:50] <nevalja> ramo3 ty
[02:50] <VenusianTreen> soundless: Oh. I don't have much experience with GUIs myself. What little I do have, I learnt by tinkering with wxWindows, or wxPython. Let me see if I can find a link for you. I do know, though, that the SPE python editor comes with the wx packages, and all the documentation; I just can't remember if there were any examples.
[02:50] <nevalja> rambo3 ty
[02:50] <ikonia> jawee: why are you not using the ubuntu cd b.) why did you change your root password
[02:50] <rambo3> nevalja, nema problema
[02:50] <jawee> ikonia: I couldn't find one on me, I have always used root I just changed it and apparently wrote it down wrong
[02:50] <Rodel> Which flash is better to get, the one for tar and gz or the one for rpm?
[02:50] <ikonia> !flash >rodel
[02:51] <ikonia> jawee: get the ubuntu cd and boot recovery/safe mode
[02:51] <soundless> VenusianTreen, wxPython, I've read something about that but wasn't that for windows? (sorry if I'm wrong)
[02:51] <Frogzoo> Rodel: the one from the repos
[02:51] <jawee> ikonia: There is no file to fix it from here?
[02:51] <ikonia> jawee: yes there is - but if you don't know how to you shouldn't be using the root account
[02:51] <anticlockwise_> soundless: wxPython is cross-platform
[02:51] <soundless> anticlockwise_ didn't knwo that ty
[02:52] <ikonia> anticlockwise_: most interesting
[02:52] <anticlockwise_> soundless: wxPython is just a Python binding for wxWidgets
[02:52] <jawee> ikonia: I've used Linux for years and I'm used to it. I simply made one mistake. I've fixed it in the past I just can't remember the file
[02:52] <jawee> I thought I could drop in for a second and get it
[02:52] <ikonia> jawee: you can also just boot your ubuntu install - login as you and use "sudo" to change the password
[02:52] <stevej> !nx
[02:52] <ubotu> FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX
[02:52] <ikonia> jawee: if you don't know the file to use to change a password your should not be using the root account
[02:53] <ikonia> jawee: a user who has been using linux for years as root should know the password file to change
[02:53] <jawee> ikonia: This is my first time with ubunutu so it was the first thing I did
[02:53] <anticlockwise_> soundless: if you want to build GUIs with Python, try PyGTK or PyQT~~
[02:53] <jawee> ikonia: I know, but I forgot the thing. I've done it in the past.
[02:53] <ikonia> jawee: login as yourself on ubuntu and use sudo passwd root
[02:53] <ikonia> jawee: you don't forget the password file
[02:54] <soundless> anticlockwise_ , seems like there's a whole range I can choose of.. why? I mean what's the difference between them? the design?

[02:54] <anticlockwise_> soundless: The design is just one of the factors, popularity I guess is the main difference, heh
[02:55] <VenusianTreen> soundless: Here's a fairly hefty demo using wxPython: http://pythonide.blogspot.com/. This also seems to be the home page for the editor. You can install the editor using ubuntu's package manager. Also check out this page for more info on SPE: http://www.serpia.org/spe
[02:55] <soundless> anticlockwise_ hehe ok ty for all your help
[02:55] <ikonia> !offtopic | VenusianTreen
[02:55] <ubotu> VenusianTreen: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[02:55] <anticlockwise_> soundless: np :)
[02:55] <MenZa> I have this problem; I keep losing the connection to my wired internet---a reboot fixes it on every single occassion. sudo dhclient does nothing.
[02:55] <soundless> ikonia, srry 'bout that
[02:55] <ikonia> not a problem
[02:55] <ikonia> just been going on for a while
[02:55] <ikonia> best to move it to the right channel
[02:55] <soundless> VenusianTreen, ty again you're a really great help :)
[02:56] <ikonia> MenZa: does your syslog report anything such as the dhcp address being dropped, when it dies if you do an ifconfig does your card still have an address?
[02:56] <VenusianTreen> ikonia: ubotu: whoops, sorry guys. I was just passing the time while waiting for responses.
[02:56] <MenZa> ikonia: I've checked neither of those, honestly
[02:56] <pepe> holas
[02:56] <MenZa> ikonia: I'll do that the next time I have that problem
[02:57] <MenZa> !es | pepe
[02:57] <ubotu> pepe: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[02:57] <ikonia> MenZa: I not a problem, have a quick glance at it, and let me know the results if you want to walk if through
[02:57] <pepe> alguien sabe porque un lsusb no muestran nada y se bloquea la consola???
[02:57] <oriez> why i can't turn off my computer in XGL mode
[02:57] <ikonia> VenusianTreen: its not a problem, don't worry
[02:57] <MenZa> shall do, ikonia
[02:57] <shawn34> i have a list of the display modes my monitor can use incl. frequencies. can anyone help me set up my xorg properly?
[02:57] <MenZa> pepe: please go to #ubuntu-es for Spanish support
[02:57] <MenZa> O.o
[02:57] <ikonia> MenZa: sorry, my typing was terrible then
[02:57] <stefg> MenZa: avahi has a record for causing problems like that, iirc
[02:57] <MenZa> ikonia: I got the point ;)
[02:57] <MenZa> avahi, stefg?
[02:57] <stefg> !info avahi | menza
[02:58] <ubotu> menza: Package avahi does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[02:58] <MenZa> hmm
[02:58] <VenusianTreen> soundless: I've joined #ubuntu-offtopic if you want to ask any more questions.
[02:59] <ikonia> VenusianTreen: good man, thanks. I wish more people where as reasonable as that
[02:59] <MenZa> stefg: I appear to have a tabcomplete for "avahi-"
[02:59] <MenZa> ahh
[02:59] <MenZa> avahi-autoipd and avahi-daemon
[02:59] <Hylk0r> Hello :-)
[02:59] <stefg> MenZa: avahi is linux' idea of bonjour (auto-discovering of network-services)... apt-cache serach avahi-daemon
[03:00] <MenZa> I have avahi-daemon installed :/
[03:00] <soundless> VenusianTreen tyvm I'll try to read this stuff before I ask anymore questions
[03:00] <MenZa> hmm
[03:00] <MenZa> mDNS/DNS-SD daemon
[03:00] <stefg> MenZa: get rid of it if you don't use it and see if the problem persists
[03:00] <MenZa> I'll do that; thanks
[03:00] <MenZa> Wait
[03:00] <aLeSD> hi all
[03:00] <MenZa> Which network services are we talking about here?
[03:00] <sadadsad> !help
[03:00] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[03:00] <aLeSD> someone could suggest me an application to record the video from my webcam ?
[03:01] <MenZa> sadadsad: State your question :
[03:01] <MenZa> :)
[03:01] <stefg> MenZa: google is you friend :-)
[03:01] <MenZa> stefg: ahh, I'll check; thanks :)
[03:02] <MenZa> stefg, I'm just mildly scared that I'll lose connection entirely if I remove it---I won't, will I?
[03:02] <MenZa> I'm assuming dhclient is what gets my dynamic IP initially
[03:02] <sadadsad> !<factoid>
[03:02] <stefg> MenZa: no, dhcp and avahi are two differrent things... do you need your x-box 360 to automatically see the printer on your ubuntu-box ?
[03:05] <Hylk0r> how can I install pyopengl docs?
[03:05] <shawn34> I created a modline for my monitor. best display res should be 1680*1050 refresh at 60hz. However no matter what I do when I goto prefs>resolution, i only have refresh rates of 50 & 54. No 60. how do I fix this?
[03:07] <stefg> shawn34: run a nvidia-card by chance?
[03:07] <shawn34> stefg, yes
[03:07] <subzero2000> join ##php
[03:07] <subzero2000> oops
[03:08] <stefg> shawn34: sudo nvidia-xsettings (nvidia own tool to set screen properties). gnome's applet sometimes gets fooled or has too conservative values
[03:08] <Tomatix> Does it exists any guides on how I can develop an Java application for my cell phone?
[03:08] <ikonia> Tomatix: this is ubuntu support only
[03:08] <Tomatix> maybe wrong channel
[03:08] <ikonia> yes
[03:08] <ikonia> wrong channel
[03:08] <shawn34> stefg, don't have that command, guess i have to install it first or should i already have it ?
[03:08] <Tomatix> was yo use off-topic sorry
[03:08] <speedy> Hello everybody! I have a problem, i have install ubuntu 7.04 but when i start a 3d game full screen i have a black screen but i listen sound, i have install the nvidia driver but i don't know what is the problem, can you help me???
[03:09] <stefg> shawn34: *nvidia-xconfig* , sorry
[03:09] <Hylk0r> does nobody know how I can install the pyopengl docs?
[03:09] <mahmoud__> apt
[03:09] <stefg> shawn34: *nvidia-setiings* , sorry, no i got it straight
[03:09] <shawn34> stefg, it does it itself? didn't give me any options or anything just wrote the xorg. that right?
[03:10] <Hylk0r> mahmoud_: but there isn't a package called pyopengl-docs listed in synaptic
[03:10] <stefg> shawn34: these are all named too similar... that's the gui-tool
[03:10] <shawn34> stefg, bash: nvidia-setiings: command not found
[03:10] <stefg> shawn34: nvidia-settings
[03:11] <shawn34> oops
[03:13] <nevalja> rambo3 u there
[03:16] <Kalisto> well i guess it is possible to upgrade from Dapper to feisty without breaking your system :D
[03:16] <ikonia> no its not
[03:17] <ikonia> you need to go to 6.0.6 --> 6.10 ---> 7.04
[03:17] <mahmoud__> Kalisto, how?
[03:17] <Kalisto> ikonia, yea it is. i just did it this morning.
[03:17] <MrMiste1> evolving wings is possible
[03:17] <MenZa> stefg: My net completely broke now :S
[03:17] <ikonia> and if your doing that you may as well just install
[03:17] <ikonia> reinstall sorry
[03:17] <Kalisto> ikonia, thats what i meant
[03:17] <Kalisto> i went from 6.0 to 6.10. to 7.04
[03:17] <Kalisto> took only 2 hours
[03:18] <stefg> MenZa: so go to the network settings, you might have to reenter the information manually again (IP, netmask, gateway)
[03:18] <Kalisto> ikonia, can't reinstall too many apps and stuff i dont want to spend setting up again
[03:18] <MenZa> stefg: I'm on a dynamic IP
[03:18] <MenZa> I'm on a livecd atm
[03:18] <ikonia> backup configs - re-install
[03:18] <stefg> MenZa: so you have adsl via pppoe?
[03:18] <jramsey> what's the package name for the app that will play real media files?
[03:19] <mahmoud__> Kalisto, i thought that you've done an upgrade from 6.06 to 7.04 without installing edgy
[03:19] <Frogzoo> vlc plays most everything
[03:19] <exopoxis> hello, i'm new to ubuntu, i have this question: why if i want to remove mozilla-firefox apt tries to remove ubuntu-desktop...? in what way does ubuntu-desktop depende on mozilla-firefox? =S
[03:19] <wols_> jramsey: search for "helix"
[03:19] <jramsey> wols_, ok txs
[03:19] <MenZa> stefg: I have absolutely no clue
[03:19] <MenZa> stefg: It's definitely an ADSL connection
[03:19] <wols_> exopoxis: ubuntu-desktop is a meta package
[03:20] <MrMiste1> exopoxis: i think firefox is part of a metapackage
[03:20] <MrMiste1> right, wols
[03:20] <wols_> MenZa: you probably need PPPoE
[03:20] <MenZa> hrm.
[03:20] <exopoxis> i figured it out, wols_, so is there a way to safely remove firefox?
[03:20] <MenZa> And.. I'd do that how, now_
[03:20] <Pelo> MenZa, whas is your issue ?
[03:20] <stefg> MenZa: try to run sudo pppoeconf in a terminal,
[03:20] <exopoxis> becouse if there is not............
[03:20] <wols_> exopoxis: yes. apt-get remove as you just attempted
[03:20] <MenZa> right, stefg, let me just boot my laptop and regular system
[03:20] <MenZa> bbias
[03:20] <aryah> removing the metapackage shouldnt harm anything
[03:21] <aa_> hi, I have this continuing problem of a usb device that sometimes appears on /dev/input/event2 and sometimes on /dev/input/event4. When its on event2 it works, but when its on event4 it doesn't work. By doesn't work I mean cat /dev/input/event4 yields nothing, and so nothing else works, X drivers etc. Anyone seen a weirdness like this before?
[03:21] <exopoxis> ok, let's see, thanks
[03:21] <MrMiste1> does removing a metapackage remove all of its subsidiaryies?
[03:21] <speedy> Hello everybody! I have a problem, i have install ubuntu 7.04 but when i start a 3d game full screen i have a black screen but i listen sound, i have install the nvidia driver but i don't know what is the problem, can you help me???
[03:21] <stefg> MenZa: and while you are at it... if you don't need it disbla network-manager, too
[03:21] <graveson> can ubuntu be used as a firewall and antivirus for the network and can this be managed  with a graphical tool
[03:21] <jramsey> wols_, do i need to close/reopen firefox before it recognized helix as an rm player? i've instalelled it but firefox doesn't give me the option
[03:22] <aa_> this is on feisty, edgy doesn't move the device around, but seems the kernel module is broken in the 2.6.17 kernel, so it's no use
[03:22] <Kalisto> haha neveball is the coolest Linux game!!! awsome
[03:22] <MrMiste1> graveson: is it's just a specific firewall machine, try m0n0wall
[03:22] <stefg> graveson: yes, although there might be distros which are more targetted to being used as gateway/firewall
[03:23] <graveson> mrmistel: no i use it as a desktop
[03:23] <Pelo> MrMiste1,  no it does not ,  meta pacakge is just a way for the programmer to save some work with the installer,  all other programs are set as dependeices of the meta pacakge so yo only need to install the meta and all the others are automaticaly intalled because the meta "needs" them ,  removing a package does not remove it's dependencies so you can remove the meta package safely
[03:23] <MrMiste1> ah, thanks pelo
[03:23] <graveson> stefg: can you recommend any ?
[03:24] <stefg> graveson: it's sort of a paradoxon to have firewall and desktop on the same machine. What exactly are you trying to do?
[03:24] <MrMiste1> graveson:  smoothwall
[03:24] <kurisu> arrg... I still cant 'unhide' my damn PCI bus
[03:24] <TOoSmOotH> anyone here ever installed from a USB fob?
[03:24] <Frogzoo> kurisu: sudo lspci
[03:25] <MrMiste1> http://www.smoothwall.org/
[03:25] <graveson> i want to protect a windows system on my network and i am sick of some of these corporates wanting to renew subscriptions ................... all the time
[03:25] <Pelo> TOoSmOotH,  usb "fob"??
[03:25] <MrMiste1> i hear ya graveson
[03:25] <graveson> stefg: i want to protect a windows system on my network and i am sick of some of these corporates wanting to renew subscriptions ................... all the time
[03:25] <TOoSmOotH> USB pocket drive
[03:25] <kurisu> Frogzoo, lspci doesnt show it - http://paste.uni.cc/15824
[03:25] <ipx> Kalisto: holy shit that game was hard steering
[03:25] <jramsey> anyone; i've installed helix but firefox doesn't recognize a real media file with the totem movie player (default); helix isn't in the list of options and i've installed the firefox helix plugin
[03:25] <graveson> mrmistel: thanks
[03:25] <TOoSmOotH> the kind you throw in your pocket
[03:25] <Kalisto> ipx, it does ;)
[03:25] <exopoxis> is it yeld a metapackage too? or does it depende _really_ on firefox?
[03:26] <Pelo> TOoSmOotH,  if that anyting like a usb thumb drive ? or a flash drive,  ?
[03:26] <TOoSmOotH> thum drive
[03:26] <aryah> whatever the package manager says is probably correct :)
[03:26] <Pelo> TOoSmOotH,  what issue are you having ?
[03:26] <kurisu> Frogzoo, dmesg says that ive got 2 busses hidden - http://paste.uni.cc/15825
[03:26] <TOoSmOotH> I have a P5B deluxe with the jmicron controller
[03:27] <MenZa> stefg: pppoeconfig did nothing
[03:27] <ejack_> Everytime I try and install ubuntu on my laptop I get the same error, 'bcm43xx: error: Microcode "bcm43xx_microcode5.fw" not available or load failed' Can anyone give me any advice?
[03:27] <ultrajumboshrimp> Hi. When I try to enable desktop effects it says that they can't be enabled. Somebody please help.
[03:27] <MenZa> stefg: It couldn't establish a connection
[03:27] <TOoSmOotH> so I am installing from a USB thumb drive
[03:27] <TOoSmOotH> when I go to mount /dev/cdrom it can't find the fob
[03:27] <ejack_> Errr...this is actually after I install and boot for the first time.
[03:27] <TOoSmOotH> or thumb drive
[03:27] <Pelo> TOoSmOotH,  can you just not use the enter key as punctuation, this is a busy chanel it makes it hard to follow you
[03:27] <jramsey> anyone; i've installed helix but firefox doesn't recognize a real media file with the totem movie player (default); helix isn't in the list of options and i've installed the firefox helix plugin
[03:28] <ultrajumboshrimp> Somebody please answer my question.
[03:28] <ultrajumboshrimp> I'm relatively new to Ubuntu.
[03:28] <ultrajumboshrimp> and Linux.
[03:28] <TOoSmOotH> ok
[03:28] <stefg> graveson: you will still need an access scanner on the win-boxes. although you can have Linux act as firewall, and scan mail for malware nothing on a linux-server will prevent a malicious site to exploit a IE6 vulnerability (except an on-access-scanner on the very machine)
[03:28] <ultrajumboshrimp> When I try to enable desktop effects it says that they can't be enabled. Somebody please help.
[03:28] <ipx> ultrajumboshrimp: it's impossible to answer a question like that with such little information :/
[03:28] <ultrajumboshrimp> ipx: what information do you need?
[03:28] <ultrajumboshrimp> ipx: I'll get it for you.
[03:29] <ipx> imagine me asking you why my car isnt working. What would you answer?
[03:29] <Pelo> TOoSmOotH, usb thumb drive won'T be in /dev/cdrom,  try using gparted to see what drives are connected and what their devtree is
[03:29] <bahram> hi everybody...i have installed ubuntu on my amd64 x2 laptop...but my cpu fan always works at middle speed...what can i do?
[03:29] <ipx> ultrajumboshrimp: sorry im not a linux-guru either
[03:29] <LordTureis> ultrajumboshrimp: what is the error message it says?
[03:29] <AnAnt> ikonia: hello, I'm the one with windows domain problem, you know what to search for to solve my problem ?
[03:29] <TOoSmOotH> I am following the instructions here:
[03:29] <por_fueg0> what is your windows domain issue ?
[03:29] <TOoSmOotH> ok will try that
[03:29] <ikonia> AnAnt: you'll have to learn about pam
[03:29] <MenZa> stefg ?
[03:29] <ultrajumboshrimp> LordTureis: "Desktop effects could not be enabled."
[03:29] <AnAnt> ikonia: how's that ?
[03:30] <Pelo> ultrajumboshrimp,  is is possible that you donT have enough hardware to run it but I doubt it,   what is your video card 6
[03:30] <exopoxis> what's your video card, ultrajumboshrimp
[03:30] <Pelo> ?
[03:30] <ikonia> AnAnt: based on your desription, pam is not setup right
[03:30] <AnAnt> ikonia: it is
[03:30] <AnAnt> !activedirectory
[03:30] <ubotu> You can learn more about ActiveDirectory intergration at  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto
[03:30] <stefg> MenZa: so are you behind a router?... i need to know how you are connected before i can help any further
[03:30] <AnAnt> ikonia: I set it up according to instructions in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto
[03:30] <ikonia> AnAnt: so why are you asking me how to fix it if I've told you I believe pam is setup wrong
[03:31] <LordTureis> ultrajumboshrimp:  that's it?  ...try running system > administration > Restricted Drivers Manager
[03:31] <exopoxis> ultrajumboshrimp: glxinfo | grep direct
[03:31] <AnAnt> ikonia: well, I dunno what to look for
[03:31] <ultrajumboshrimp> exopoxis: what does that do?
[03:31] <MenZa> stefg: I'm connected through a switch
[03:31] <dnigmig> /JOIN #ubuntustudio,
[03:31] <jramsey> anyone know helix and how to install with firefox?
[03:31] <AnAnt> ikonia: I don't understand PAM, I just followed instructions in the site
[03:31] <MenZa> stefg: so it's not that blocking it
[03:31] <ultrajumboshrimp> exopoxis: it answers "Yes" in terminal
[03:31] <ikonia> AnAnt: so don't be so quick to say its setup fine
[03:32] <kurisu> toughbooks are amazing laptops, i dont want to ruin it by having to put windows on it, just need my wifi working
[03:32] <Moduliz0r> Is there any software for Ubuntu that does biometric authentication, with AuthenTec chips?
[03:32] <AnAnt> ikonia: I didn't say it is fine, I just said that I set it up according to the site
[03:32] <exopoxis> what's your video card?, ultrajumboshrimp
 ikonia: it is
[03:32] <AnAnt> ikonia: I mean, that's what I meant
[03:32] <Pelo> Moduliz0r,  search biometric in synaptic
[03:32] <stefg> MenZa: so no pppoe... does 'sudo dhclient eth0' get you an IP?
[03:32] <exopoxis> nvidia?, ultrajumboshrimp
[03:32] <Moduliz0r> Pelo: I did but there was nothing
[03:32] <AnAnt> ikonia: ok, I didn't understand you then
[03:32] <MenZa> stefg: it does yeah
[03:32] <VenusianTreen> ejack_: Anyone answered your question yet? Check out the page:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx. Basically, you will have to install the fw_cutter package.
[03:32] <MenZa> stefg: I'm back online
[03:33] <ultrajumboshrimp> exopoxis: i dont know
[03:33] <Pelo> Moduliz0r, alternate keywords ? but if you know of another such prog for linux, you can still install it in ubuntu with the source code
[03:33] <Moduliz0r> ok
[03:33] <stefg> MenZa: see, so now go to the Admin-network applet and set dhcp as your configuration (to make it work permanently
[03:33] <AnAnt> ikonia: so, how to learn about pam ?
[03:33] <exopoxis> ultrajumboshrimp: lspci will help
[03:33] <VenusianTreen> ejack_: If you install it using the package manager GUI under Feisty, the package will fetch and extract the relevant firmware for you as it's been configured.
[03:33] <ultrajumboshrimp> LordTureis: it says my hardware doesnt need restricted drivers
[03:34] <ikonia> AnAnt: read
[03:34] <AnAnt> ikonia: read what ?
[03:34] <LordTureis> ultrajumboshrimp: great!  never mind
[03:34] <ikonia> the docs
[03:34] <aryah> ultra, glxinfo shows information about how your the AGLX  system that connects your X window system and OpenGL for 3D effects, the pipe sign | passes that information to the next command, and grep filters that information searching for the word stated after it , in this case "direct"
[03:34] <Pelo> Moduliz0r, if it exists for linux you can install it in any distro,  it's just easier if you have it in the package manager already, but it's not mendatory
[03:34] <graveson> stefg: do you have any recommendations on what the best way to go about his
[03:34] <graveson> mrmistel: do you have any recommendations on what the best way to go about his
[03:34] <AnAnt> ikonia: pam & hal/dbus are related ?
[03:34] <ejack_> VenusianTreen: I can only actually boot up into recovery mode. How do I do this all text based?
[03:35] <VenusianTreen> ejack_: been --> being
[03:35] <Pelo> ultrajumboshrimp,  the ppl in #ubuntu-effects might be better equiped to help you with this issue
[03:35] <AnAnt> ikonia: what docs ?
[03:35] <AnAnt> ikonia: I can't find any /usr/share/doc/pam*
[03:35] <stefg> graveson: you won't like the answer: ditch win for a OS that doesn't need virus-scanners or pay your way through vendor-traps :-\
[03:35] <MenZa> stefg: now it's not resolving
[03:35] <AnAnt> ikonia: and man pam gives me info about a image format called pam
[03:36] <ikonia> AnAnt: searc the net
[03:36] <ikonia> search
[03:36] <ultrajumboshrimp> Pelo: thanks
[03:36] <MenZa> stefg: it gives me an IP
[03:36] <MenZa> stefg: but I can't connect to Jabber, use Firefox or download packages
[03:36] <stefg> graveson: althought there's decent (beer-) free AV-solutions for windows
[03:37] <stefg> MenZa: who's administering that network?
[03:37] <MenZa> stefg, I am
[03:37] <SoulChild> UBUNTU IS AN OLD AFRICAN WORD FOR: "I CAN'T CONFIGURE DEBIAN" LOL
[03:37] <stefg> MenZa: so the 'switch' is a router actually?
[03:37] <aryah> rofl SoulChild :)
[03:37] <SoulChild> hehe :D
[03:37] <graveson> stefg: until i can capture and encode videos efficiently with linux, i cannot make the move right now .thanks anyway for your help
[03:37] <exopoxis> SoulChild: specially becouse debian being so hard to configure =SSSSSS
[03:38] <aryah> but I used debian before ubuntu, it was fine , only this is better :)
[03:38] <MenZa> stefg, nope, it's just a switch. Distributes the connections; that's all it does. It doesn't even have host software.
[03:38] <TOoSmOotH> Pelo: when I boot from the USB thumbdrive I don't have gparted as an option. I am using the alternate install since the intel_agp locks up the live cd install. From the ubuntu instructions I am using you are supossed to trick the installer by mounting the thumb drive as /cdrom so that the installer will see it and move forward. The instructions I am using are here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[03:38] <SoulChild> exopoxis: yeah,... that's why i don't understand why i should use ubuntu if there is debain ,..
[03:38] <ipx> "Distributes the connections" makes it sound like a router ^^
[03:39] <MenZa> ipx: no forwarding, no rules, no firewall, no nothing
[03:39] <feniks> hello why i cant get wireless connection in knetworkmanager
[03:39] <exopoxis> that's what free software is about, choices, SoulChild
[03:39] <MenZa> It's pretty much a "stripped down" router, I guess; but it has no control of the network. At all.
[03:39] <exopoxis> SoulChild: dont start a flamewar =S
[03:39] <MenZa> !ops

[03:39] <feniks> hello why i cant get wireless connection in knetworkmanager
[03:39] <Pelo> TOoSmOotH, I think I get you now,  this is not an installed ubuntu system yet,  you are trying to install ubuntu using the usb stick as the installation cdrom ? right ?
[03:40] <TOoSmOotH> Pelo: That is correct
[03:40] <aryah> in my case, it was the stable branch, 3.1 since I had that on DVDs and only a dialup conection. So with time, all my libraries were very old, and I got broadband in the meantime, and ubuntu was all the hype at the time, so I decided to give it a try :)
[03:40] <stefg> MenZa: DNS isn't working it seems... use the applet to set everything to dhcp, then reboot. this should make the DHCP-server on the other end give you a DNS-server -IP again
[03:40] <elkbuntu> SoulChild, feel free to use debian if you wish. i believe their channel is #debian
[03:40] <jramsey> i've a redhat pkg; how can in install it on ubuntu?
[03:40] <MenZa> stefg: it was set to dhcp already
[03:40] <MenZa> Thank you Hobbsee
[03:40] <Pelo> TOoSmOotH, ok this is another  story altogether, cna you link me to the instructions so I can have a look , I've never done this bit before
[03:41] <TOoSmOotH> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[03:41] <Hobbsee> elkbuntu: *hugs* :)

[03:42] <Pelo> TOoSmOotH, which step are you at right now, , it's a big page
[03:42] <VenusianTreen> ejack_: Eeeeh! Now you're asking! Does "sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter" work in recovery mode?
[03:42] <TOoSmOotH> "Mounting the Flash drive as /cdrom"
[03:42] <Pelo> TOoSmOotH, k old on
[03:43] <ipx> I recently installed a new ATI-Driver(8.36.5), but a well-known problem on the older ATI-Driver i had (8.28.8) still remains. How come? Could there be old modules left there still in use?
[03:43] <MenZa> stefg: whee, I'm back online ^_^
[03:43] <MenZa> thank you
[03:44] <r00tintheb0x> hi all, i have a sony cpd-520gs 21 inch monitor that i cant get the resolution correct on. i've already "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" to no avail.

[03:44] <nub19> how can i access a shared folder on windowsxp from xubuntu?
[03:44] <ubotu> pong

[03:44] <Pelo> TOoSmOotH, ok I assume you have booted from the usb stick,   run all those command in root, ie     prefix each command line with the word   sudo as in     sudo mkdir /cdrom /dev/cdroms
[03:44] <ipx> nub19: smbclient
[03:44] <nub19> is that program?
[03:44] <r00tintheb0x> Any clue as to why it wont go into 1280x960?
[03:44] <ipx> nub19: for example, first make a "smbclient -L *servername*"
[03:45] <tux_wears_a_tux> Hi. I'm trying to create a guest account. Is there a way to have no password on it?
[03:45] <ipx> nub19: yes, in the terminal, "sudo apt-get install smbclient".
[03:45] <ikonia> tux_wears_a_tux: set it to ""
[03:45] <ikonia> eg: nothing
[03:45] <ipx> nub19: after uve done it u see all the maps that this computer shares. Then you write "smbclient \\\\*servername*\\*one of the folders*
[03:45] <MrMiste1> !botsnack
[03:45] <tux_wears_a_tux> ikonia: does "" make it have no password?
[03:45] <TOoSmOotH> Pelo: Yes I get Mounting /dev/sdb1 on /cdrom failed: No such Device
[03:45] <ubotu> Yum! Err, I mean, APT!
[03:45] <nub19> what if i dont know the name of the folder?
[03:46] <Pelo> TOoSmOotH, hold on
[03:46] <d2812> Has anyone here used sshfs in /etc/fstab? I need to use a custom port and i'm not too sure how to pass sshfs options in /etc/fstab
[03:46] <ipx> nub19: just told u how to get the foldernames?
[03:46] <ipx> nub19: read the first line i wrote

[03:46] <nub19> oh ok
[03:46] <stefg> nub19: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
[03:46] <tux_wears_a_tux> ikonia: what does that do?
[03:46] <Pelo> TOoSmOotH, which command gives you that error msg ?
[03:46] <nub19> another weird "bug"
[03:46] <nub19> if i do su
[03:46] <nub19> and type in the root pass it dont match
[03:47] <tux_wears_a_tux> How do you get a user account to have no password, such as a guest account
[03:47] <nub19> but sudo works
[03:47] <TOoSmOotH> Pelo: mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /cdrom
[03:47] <aryah> there are GUI clients for smb, i dont recall exactly, it used to be something like lin neighbourhood
[03:47] <ipx> nub19:  u need to create a root-account first before using su in ubuntu
[03:47] <nub19> k
[03:47] <r00tintheb0x> No ideas on the resolution issue eh?
[03:48] <ipx> I recently installed a new ATI-Driver(8.36.5), but a well-known problem on the older ATI-Driver i had (8.28.8) still remains. How come? Could there be old modules left there still in use?

[03:50] <aryah> sonderblade , in the synaptic manager, select 'status' then 'installed'
[03:50] <tux_wears_a_tux> ikonia: it won't let me - it says I need at least 6 characters
[03:51] <makuseru> would somthing i did in a term before i logged in be in the system logs?
[03:51] <ikonia> tux_wears_a_tux: use "sudo password $user_name" after its created
[03:51] <tux_wears_a_tux> ikonia: ooh! maybe that'll work
[03:51] <Pelo> TOoSmOotH,  I'm back , what did yo find out ?
[03:51] <TOoSmOotH> Pelo: The GUI install won't load as there is a problem with the p5b and the agp chipset. I will just have to go pick up a SATA dvd drive to do the install
[03:51] <ikonia> tux_wears_a_tux: its just the gnome-tool thats stopping you
[03:52] <Pelo> TOoSmOotH, that might be easier ,
[03:52] <TOoSmOotH> Pelo: Thanks for your help
[03:52] <tux_wears_a_tux> ikonia: wat's the gnome-tool? and password isn't a command
[03:52] <timmyw29> is there a command i can use to see whether i'm using 3d accel or not?
[03:52] <Pelo> TOoSmOotH, try this,   type parted
[03:52] <TOoSmOotH> command not ofund
[03:52] <ikonia> tux_wears_a_tux: its "passwd" sorry
[03:52] <tux_wears_a_tux> ikonia : ok. h/o
[03:52] <Pelo> TOoSmOotH, go for the boroewed dvd then
[03:53] <TOoSmOotH> Pelo: It;s a stripped down shell during the isntall
[03:53] <ikonia> timmyw29: man glxgears
[03:53] <TOoSmOotH> Pelo: Thanks Again!
[03:53] <Pelo> TOoSmOotH,  best of luck
[03:53] <tux_wears_a_tux> ikonia: it still needs a password
[03:53] <edgy> if I used my arrow keys to reach a command from history and deleted it using BACKSPACE and exit the shell, I expected it would be deleted from history but it didn't, why?
[03:54] <ejack_> VenusianTreen: yeah, I just went and tried it. I don't get the error anymore but now it just hangs in the middle of startup... *shrug* I've even had problems with this wireless adapter in windows. Guess I shouldn't have been suprised.
[03:54] <MrMiste1> tux_wears_a_tux: Do you only have the one account
[03:54] <tux_wears_a_tux> MrMiste1: i just set up a guest account. the one I'm using is my regular account.
[03:54] <ikonia> tux_wears_a_tux: I see, well you can either edit the password policy in /etc/login.defs or edit /etc/shadow directly to remove the password
[03:54] <tux_wears_a_tux> ikonia: how do I do that?
[03:54] <James> I typed 'free the fish' and now I can't get rid of him, anybody know how?
[03:54] <tux_wears_a_tux> James: what is that/
[03:54] <ikonia> tux_wears_a_tux: edit the file /etc/login.defs to change the policy
[03:55] <ikonia> tux_wears_a_tux: or empty the password field in /etc/shadow
[03:55] <MrMiste1> t_w_a_t: "sudo gedit /etc/login.defs"
[03:55] <tux_wears_a_tux> ikonia: how do I do that?
[03:55] <Pelo> James,  kill the process
[03:55] <ikonia> tux_wears_a_tux: I've just told ou
[03:55] <makuseru> would somthing i did in a term before i logged in be in the system logs?
[03:55] <aryah> ejack, i think wireless can often be a problem, yes, often solvable, often not trivially so....
[03:55] <MrMiste1> jeez
[03:55] <James> tux_wears_a_tux: press Alt-F2, type 'free the fish' and a fish appears and floats about
[03:55] <ikonia> MrMiste1: whats with the language
[03:55] <James> Pelo: It doesn't seem to be there

[03:57] <ikonia> tux_wears_a_tux: perhaps read before typing random commands you have no idea
[03:57] <MrMiste1> click on de fish
[03:57] <James> tux_wears_a_tux: clicking just makes him go to the side of the screen
[03:57] <r00tintheb0x> brb
[03:57] <tux_wears_a_tux> James: "killall free the fish" in terminal should help

[03:57] <ubuntu> I deleted a file accidientaly on reiserfs
[03:57] <MrMiste1> try kill free the fish
[03:57] <Pelo> r00tintheb0x,  you might need to change the horizsync value  make the end one higher,  and you actualy need to restart X for the changes to take effect
[03:57] <r00tintheb0x> Okay.
[03:57] <James> tux_wears_a_tux: thx
[03:57] <ubuntu> in fatI moved one over one other

[04:00] <timmyw29> i could also use some help with the resolution stuff

[04:00] <ikonia> timmyw29: what's the problem

[04:01] <r00tintheb0x> All the questions you're asking are answered there.
[04:01] <r00tintheb0x> gb__, your answer is no

[04:02] <gb__> will it stop working
[04:02] <gb__> thing is
[04:02] <makuseru> would somthing i did in a term before i logged in be in the system logs?
[04:02] <ikonia> timmyw29: if you can't use higher res's its potentially a problem with your drivers/video card compatability

It is asked that controversial topics: war, race, religion, politics (unless related to software licencing), gender, sexuality, drugs, questionable legal activities, removing of oneself from the planet (except by space travel) are not for here, perhaps #off-topic or ##politics.

[04:03] <James> ikonia: Very sorry
[04:04] <r00tintheb0x> brb
[04:04] <gb__> oh well
[04:04] <aryah> so, teleporting is a contraversial topic :) why the -removing oneself from the planet' euphemism?
[04:05] <blizz> hi. any idea how i could bridge a managed mode wlan interface together with a normal ethernet interface so that the hosts on the second interface can access the internet over the wireless connection?
[04:05] <tuxben> tuxben test
[04:05] <por_fueg0> blizz: wouldn't that be controlled by the subnet ?
[04:05] <Hadron> anyone know if there is a utility to install the nvidia settings utility into the menus correctly?
[04:05] <mirak> is it possible to recover reiserfs deleted file ?
[04:06] <Regnus> Just installed 7.0.4 on a Dell Latitude D820.  I cant get my resolution over 1280x1024.  How do I get max resolution?
[04:06] <MenZa> Hadron: I believe you need to use the driver from NVIDIA
[04:06] <MenZa> Hadron: from nvidia.com
[04:06] <MenZa> !resolution | Regnus
[04:06] <ubotu> Regnus: 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
[04:06] <por_fueg0> Regnus, what video card do you have ?
[04:06] <Hadron> MenZa: I do. On Feisty and there is no utility on the system menu.
[04:06] <r00tintheb0x> figured it out, i wasn't going high enough
[04:06] <tikka> I have a usb, serial converter and when i connect it dmesg says that its connected then disconnected.. anyone able to assist?
[04:06] <r00tintheb0x> i needed 1280x1024
[04:06] <r00tintheb0x> =)
[04:06] <Regnus> I have the Nvidia quadro FX 120M
[04:06] <blizz> por_fueg0: it doesn't really work at the moment, i even lose the working wlan connection as soon as i bridge it
[04:06] <tikka> [ 4457.152284]  usb 1-4: usbfs: interface 0 claimed by ftdi_sio while 'brltty' sets config #1
[04:07] <aryah> perhaps using binary drivers?
[04:07] <shawn34> jscal doesn't save my calibration settings after reboot, how can I prevent this?
[04:07] <MenZa> Hadron: You installed the one from nvidia.com then
[04:07] <por_fueg0> blizz, for the 2 computers to see each other, they're going to have to be on the subnet. that's controlled by the router
[04:08] <Hadron> MenZa: aha I see. No I used the new "restricted driver" settings which supposedly are the nvidia ones.
[04:08] <blizz> por_fueg0: yes, they're on the same subnet already. but only one box is connected to the router via wireless
[04:08] <blizz> the second box is connected to the wireless box, so it would be something like a forwarding access point
[04:08] <Hadron> MenZa: I am loath to fiddle with them now they are working.
[04:08] <MenZa> Hadron: That is correct, but only the drivers from nvidia.com install the configuration utility in the menu
[04:08] <Hadron> MenZa: that sucks. Half a job done :(
[04:08] <MenZa> Hadron: It's a really, really simple procedure
[04:09] <MenZa> Hadron: I'll guide you through it if you want me to
[04:09] <Hadron> MenZa: I know I can run nvidia-settings from the command line so all is not lost.
[04:09] <MenZa> Hadron: well
[04:09] <timmyw29> wow... lol. I'm so going with an nvidia card from now on.
[04:09] <MenZa> Hadron: you can create a menu item for it
[04:09] <timmyw29> ATI isn't worth the hassle.
[04:09] <Hadron> MenZa: ok. lets do that.
[04:09] <r00tintheb0x> man that SO much better
[04:09] <MenZa> right, Hadron
[04:09] <MenZa> Right click the application menu and choose "Edit menus"
[04:10] <Hadron> k
[04:10] <MenZa> (give me... one second)
[04:10] <Tomatix> How can I restore a deleted file?
[04:10] <MenZa> Tomatix: go to the system tools menu item and add a new item
[04:11] <Tomatix> uhh
[04:11] <MenZa> Hadron: for the icon, choose /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/nvidia-settings.png if it exists
[04:11] <wols_> Tomatix: non ext3, you basically can't
[04:11] <MenZa> er
[04:11] <MenZa> Tomatix, that was meant for Hadron
[04:11] <MenZa> ;)
[04:11] <MenZa> Hadron: see above
[04:11] <dooglus> Tomatix: is it in the recycle bin?
[04:11] <Tomatix> wols_, I am using Ext3
[04:11] <Tomatix> no it isn't
[04:11] <wols_> Tomatix: uthen undelete is not possible
[04:12] <Tomatix> okay
[04:12] <dooglus> Tomatix: then undelete can be expensive
[04:12] <Tomatix> it isn't that important
[04:12] <wols_> Tomatix: backups
[04:12] <MenZa> Hadron: Are you following so far?
[04:13] <j1tters> anyone know if there is a window blind effect anywhere in gnome?
[04:13] <Kjellviz> whats the best way to go about getting "video calls" on ubuntu ?
[04:13] <Ar-Pharazon> Hi everyone, can someone answer a quick question about partitions please?
[04:13] <Hadron> no probs. Its ok, I just did the locate for nvidia-settings. Problem is that my new menu items are not sticking for some reason.
[04:13] <Kjellviz> meaning i can show my windows using parents video from my webcam
[04:14] <kmag> Ar-Pharazon: just ask, don't ask to ask
[04:14] <MenZa> Hadron: not sticking?
[04:15] <macpo3> I've managed to disable the shutdown, suspend and restart options using "system->administration->login window", but the hibernate option still shows, does anyone know where I can disable hibernate?
[04:15] <Hadron> MenZa: dont apepar for some reason in the menu editor after I confirm closure of the new menu-item dialog. This might be linked to a bug in gnome wher eI cant change the date and time either from the clock applet.
[04:15] <MenZa> Hadron: huh O.o
[04:15] <kmag> Ar-Pharazon: what's your partition question?
[04:15] <Ar-Pharazon> Ok , so I'm installing Kubuntu, I need a partition. It should be Logical and Ext3, correct?
[04:15] <Hadron> MenZa: thanks for your time, but its ok. Maybe I just try to install the nvidia drivers anyway.
[04:16] <aryah> it doesnt have to be logical
[04:16] <Hadron> I'm familiar with comamnd line and X to fix it if it screws up.
[04:16] <Ar-Pharazon> Should it be?
[04:16] <MenZa> Hadron: hmm, it sounds odd if you can't create a launcher
[04:16] <aryah> depends. if youve allready got a lot of primary partitions, yes
[04:16] <tommy> i installed my wireless(DWL-510, with ndiswrapper), but its not working propperly. It hangs on a random basis. But whenever im transiffering any larger file, i lose connection when i have transiffered about 20MB.
[04:17] <Ar-Pharazon> I have 2 windows partitions so I guess that's a yes?
[04:17] <aryah> i think so
[04:17] <kmag> Ar-Parazon: I like to use 3 partitions, (ext2 for /boot, ext3 for /, and ext3 for /var)
[04:17] <aryah> but a swap as a primary partition would be nice
[04:17] <Ar-Pharazon> I'm not sure I quite follow.
[04:18] <Ar-Pharazon> And what's the difference between logical and primary, anyway?
[04:18] <kmag> Ar-Pharazon: DOS partitions (the system usually used on x86 disks) are recursive
[04:18] <aryah> its technical. the partition table has an index of partition, the primary partitions are on the first 'page' of this index. the last entry is the pointer to the next pages. those on the first page are called primary, those on other are logical
[04:18] <blizz> asdasdasdsa
[04:19] <kmag> Ar-Pharazon: you can only have 4 primary partitions
[04:19] <bbrazil> Ar-Pharazon: you can only boot from primary. logical are inside primary or logical
[04:19] <frank_> does anyone know a program that visualizes mouse clicks with a red circle or something?
[04:19] <bbrazil> Ar-Pharazon: you can only have 4 partitions in a drive/logical/primary
[04:19] <aryah> though grub can boot from anywhere
[04:19] <kmag> Ar-Pharazon: the logical partitions are actually sub-partitions of one of the primary partitions
[04:19] <frank_> I'm using pyvnc2swf to make videos of my desktop but vnc does not send inforamtion when where a mouse is being clicked
[04:19] <blizz> whoops, sorry for the spam
[04:19] <frank_> as said in the manpage of pyvnc2swf i should use a addiational tool to visualize mouseclicks

[04:20] <Kjellviz> whats the best way to go about getting "video calls" on ubuntu ?
[04:20] <marc> alguien espaol?
[04:20] <Ar-Pharazon> I see.
[04:20] <gcosmin> can some one help me?
[04:20] <erUSUL> !es | marc
[04:20] <ubotu> marc: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[04:20] <Ericc> gutten morgen
[04:20] <erUSUL> Kjellviz: ekiga, skype
[04:20] <marc> porke?
[04:20] <Ar-Pharazon> So what's the point of having them in the first place?
[04:21] <Kjellviz> erUSUL: thought skype didnt support video calls in linux?
[04:21] <erUSUL> Kjellviz: my bad confused it with ip phone calls
[04:22] <Kjellviz> aha :P
[04:22] <erUSUL> Kjellviz: ekiga can do video calls though
[04:22] <kmag> Ar-Pharazon: partitions give you independence between sets of data.  I put /var in its own partition so that all of the data churn in /var doesn't adversely affect other partitions (fragmentation, running out of space, etc.)
[04:22] <Kjellviz> but, im not locked to using the same app for video as calls, i could put up a webcam stream maybe?
[04:22] <kmag> Ar-Pharazon: I also like to have an encrypted home partition
[04:23] <Kjellviz> erUSUL: ok, im gonna check it out, but do you know if it can place calls to windows comps ?
[04:23] <Ar-Pharazon> What's in /var?
[04:23] <erUSUL> Kjellviz: it uses standar protocols afaik
[04:24] <Kjellviz> i see theres a windows version on their website
[04:24] <erUSUL> Ar-Pharazon: VARiable data ;P
[04:25] <Ar-Pharazon> So it's user created stuff.
[04:25] <callidusfox> I asked this question yesterday and do not know if there was a response as I closed the computer without looking. Anyway.

[04:26] <d2812> Is there anyway to remove the password for the Keyring Manager? I'd like to have my laptop to be able to connect to the wireless network before I have signed in, i.e. if i turn it on, then leave it for 5 mins to make a coffee.

[04:28] <Kjellviz> erUSUL: ok, i think it'll be easier (for my parents) if i set up a stream, you know any programs/sites that work with linux ?
[04:28] <nuu> Ar-Pharazon, as long as you don't have more than 4 primary partitions on the same disk, it doesn't matter
[04:28] <stifler> it's a new game, it's not yet listed
[04:28] <Ar-Pharazon> Oh ok then.
[04:29] <aMMuNix> stifler I'd say it isn't worth paying for
[04:29] <Ar-Pharazon> Thanks for the help.

[04:31] <MrMiste1> !nvidia
[04:31] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto

[04:35] <Kjellviz> can i install Noatun on a gnome desktop ?
[04:35] <MrMiste1> dabide: i recommend fluxbox "sudo apt-get install fluxbox"
[04:35] <Penguinista> dabide:  You can install any of them.  Do a quick google search to find one that you like and install with apt.
[04:35] <Pelo> dabide,  if you want light,  fluxbox seems popular
[04:35] <MrMiste1> good advice, penguinista
[04:35] <Penguinista> Excellent suggestion, MrMistel.
[04:35] <Kjellviz> or put simpler, can i install and use programs written for KDE even if im running Gnome ?
[04:35] <dabide> kk ill try fluxbox, thx

[04:39] <Lamego> linlin, because gedit is a program on your path, you don't need aliases for that
[04:39] <phazeman> faileas: whats really buggering me ist that i can't choose reiserfs from the live cd install.. i just can't understand why they did't include it there when the text based installer does allow you to install on reiser
[04:40] <faileas> erm
[04:40] <faileas> phazeman: its there on mine
[04:40] <MrMiste1> timmyw29, did you get it to go full-res?
[04:40] <omha> phazeman, you can install with reiser on live
[04:40] <phazeman> linos: it's because the command you are typing is a program, that is located under one of the directories that is in the PATH
[04:40] <omha> i did it
[04:40] <timmyw29> i got it to go the res that i'd used on windows for who knows how long

[04:41] <timmyw29> redo the xorg configure tool thing
[04:41] <omha> phazeman, its in my egdy and feisty cd's
[04:41] <phazeman> linos: echo $PATH will show you the full path
[04:41] <`3DGuy> hello
[04:41] <sjapbnc5> What theme do you guys recommend
[04:41] <phazeman> omha: i'm speaking about feisty. i didn't see it there today
[04:41] <sjapbnc5> on kde
[04:41] <`3DGuy> this is my first time installing ubuntu
[04:41] <`3DGuy> and i have a problem
[04:42] <faileas> how big a swap for 1 gb ram?
[04:42] <Mikeh> Hi all, I am using aMSN for webcams, but I would like to use Kopete instead, as aMSN is a bit hard to deal with. My problem is even though Kopete rcognizes the webcam, none of the invites ever process.
[04:42] <Sonderblade> faileas: 0
[04:42] <faileas> Sonderblade: no need for it?
[04:42] <linos> phazeman:  great, thank U
[04:42] <phazeman> linos: YW
[04:43] <`3DGuy> Whenever I boot the cd and choose option 1. Start or Install Ubuntu, the ubuntu logo then shows, then after a few mins of loading, it goes to a blank screen as if it was loading, but nothing happens
[04:43] <Sonderblade> faileas: no need
[04:43] <faileas> thanks
[04:43] <Mikeh> faileas, at that size you *shouldn't* need swap. But a good rule of thumb if you want one is the same size as your RAM
[04:45] <tinh> Mikeh, swap should be twice as the RAM size?
[04:46] <faileas> no way i'm getting a gig of swap for a 10 gig partition ;p
[04:46] <phazeman> Mikeh: not when you have a gig of RAM... when you have 256 Mb - yeah.. twice a ram
[04:46] <MikeS__> HELP
[04:46] <`3DGuy> Whenever I boot the cd and choose option 1. Start or Install Ubuntu, the ubuntu logo then shows, then after a few mins of loading, it goes to a blank screen as if it was loading, but nothing happens <-- does anyone experience this?
[04:46] <rachyandco> Hi any keyring experts here?
[04:46] <Mikeh> tinh, there are many opinions but it is all transitory
[04:46] <MikeS__> my drives are coming out Sd vs. Hd
[04:46] <MikeS__> grub wont boot
[04:47] <MikeS__> error 17!
[04:47] <tinh> Mikeh, I read it somewhere on the net
[04:47] <Mikeh> famous last words tinh ;)
[04:47] <Spyrock> quel server :o
[04:47] <rachyandco> why do we always have to give another password when using wep in wifi with network manager
[04:47] <tinh> Mikeh, I have 2GB RAM, should i have 4GB swap?
[04:47] <Mikeh> no
[04:47] <deviantintegral> I'd just like to confirm that if I use mdadm --grow on a raid5 set, that lvm can then use the additional space?
[04:47] <Mikeh> that's far more than you need
[04:47] <Spyrock> pas petit le server :p:p:p:p
[04:48] <tinh> I don't think I need 4GB swap ;)
[04:48] <Sonderblade> if you have that much ram you don't need any swap at all
[04:48] <Mikeh> I have two gigs as well, I set a 2gig swap, and so far the only time I've used ANY of it was while buring DVDs
[04:48] <faileas> well
[04:48] <ubuntu> spanish??
[04:48] <faileas> this is my test system
[04:48] <faileas> she runs XP, vista and ubuntu
[04:48] <faileas> maybe solaris, i haven't decided ;p
[04:49] <Sonderblade> if a program starts swapping it is probably because of a memleak and you would be better off with the kernel killing the process
[04:49] <phazeman> faileas: your test system really should feel miserable... like a salad :)
[04:49] <MikeS__> Any reason my Xbuntu sees my drives as SCSI when they are IDE?
[04:49] <faileas> phazeman: its shitty
[04:49] <phazeman> faileas: LOL :)
[04:50] <`3DGuy> hmm nevermind seems like nobody can help me here
[04:50] <faileas> its a packard bell, hour and half battery life. screws come loose randomly, gets scratched despite the fact its sitting at home most of the time
[04:50] <Heag> Gwar - Linux Penguin Attack.mp3
[04:50] <phazeman> Mikeh: if they are STATA, they probably would be seen as sdX, but IDE.... - may be some issue with the CDRW ?
[04:50] <Lhademmor> Hello please help: I want to start firefox, but it says it's already running... How can I find "running applications" and shut down invisible firefox?
[04:51] <Kjellviz> humm
[04:51] <phazeman> faileas: my testing system is dead unfortunately... the damn USB port burnt the whole motherboard... so i don't have any linux at home anymore
[04:51] <phazeman> Lhademmor: killall firefox; firefox; (in the terminal)
[04:51] <vegar__> why on earth doesn't ubuntu mount network shares through either Places-> Network or Place-> Connect to server ? This behaviour of requiring all applications to implement the smb protocol to open files over the network is absolutely ludicrous
[04:51] <Kjellviz> someone please tip me about a mp3 player that has a browsable media library like the newest windows media player, itunes, and latest winamp
[04:51] <Kjellviz> for linux :P
[04:52] <Lhademmor> "firefox: no process killed"...?
[04:52] <phazeman> Kjellviz: amarok ?
[04:52] <lolman> Lhademmor: do the same for firefox-bin
[04:52] <phazeman> Lhademmor: ps -ef | grep mozilla
[04:52] <phazeman> ahh.. firefox-bin... my mistake :)
[04:52] <MikeS__> phase: if  you are talking ot me, the are in fact IDE NOT scsi, or sta
[04:52] <Kjellviz> phazeman: ok ill check that one out =)
[04:52] <Nom-> Evening :)  Can anyone suggest a nice front-end for vpnc/pptp ?  I'd like an easier way to manage vpn connections
[04:53] <faileas> hmm
[04:53] <Lhademmor> You mean "killall firefox-bin; firefox-bin;" ?
[04:53] <vegar__> Nom: network manager plugin
[04:53] <phazeman> Mikeh: yeah, i was... weird. what do you see about it in the dmesg ?
[04:53] <faileas> dosen't ubuntu give you a choice of desktop environments  when you install from livecd? o0
[04:53] <lolman> Lhademmor: you don't need the end bit, just killall firefox-bin
[04:53] <phazeman> Lhademmor: killall firefox-bin, then try to run mozilla firefox from the menu
[04:53] <lolman> Then you can start firefox normally :)
[04:54] <TehRealNexGe1> faileas; no
[04:54] <faileas> bleh
[04:54] <Lhademmor> Working! :)
[04:54] <faileas> i didn't need a wired connection then
[04:54] <ompaul> !envy
[04:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about envy - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:54] <Nom-> vegar__: hmm, that does seem to be installed, but i don't see any options?
[04:54] <lolman> !info envy
[04:54] <ubotu> Package envy does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[04:54] <MikeS__> phast: i'm mikeS not mikeH...  and I've been reading about error 17 in grub for hours.... and here is what i've found.
[04:55] <Nom-> vegar__: Ah, scratch that, just found the plugins for it
[04:55] <mpupu> where do I configure ubuntu to stay in the same directory when I exit mc?
[04:55] <Kjellviz> phazeman: ye that seems more like it :)
[04:55] <linos> phazeman:  quick question about $PATH.  what file or is it the OS that initailizes that uses $PATH
[04:55] <MikeS__> i go into grub, try root (hd1,0) it says: no drive
[04:55] <Pepsi> Hey guys
[04:56] <MikeS__> I try root (sd1,0) it says error parsing
[04:56] <shiryu> please someone can tell me how to print in a lexmark? i send a archive to be print but nothing happens
[04:56] <UberPsyX> hi guys, i have a wireless internet connection running with a belkin wireless desktop card, it has a bcm4318 chipset and im only getting an 82% connection rating. i have had it running at a 100% before but it dropped when (for reasons i will not go into) i reinstalled ubuntu it lost the 100% connection. any ideas on how to get it working better?
[04:56] <Pepsi> I seem to be having a problem with my wireless usb adapter and anm I noob in linux
[04:56] <shiryu> please someone can tell me how to print in a lexmark? i send a archive to be print but nothing happens
[04:56] <phazeman> linos: it's the shell that uses path and knows to search programs that you are trying to run
[04:56] <shiryu> please someone can tell me how to print in a lexmark? i send a archive to be print but nothing happens
[04:56] <MikeS__> grub root cannot recognize anything it seems
[04:57] <Pepsi> I seem to be having a problem with my wireless usb adapter and anm I noob in linux
[04:57] <shiryu> please someone can tell me how to print in a lexmark? i send a archive to be print but nothing happens
[04:57] <shiryu> please im desesperate
[04:57] <phazeman> MikeS__: thats odd. i was gonna tell you to check your /etc/fstab but grub is prior to that
[04:57] <Pepsi> lol
[04:57] <shiryu> please someone can tell me how to print in a lexmark? i send a archive to be print but nothing happens
[04:57] <mx-zoom> shiryu: stfu
[04:57] <Pepsi> Shiryu stop spamming
[04:57] <shiryu> mx-zoom what?
[04:58] <Pepsi> He said
[04:58] <Pepsi> Shut the fuck up
[04:58] <faileas> shiryu: its polite to ask once than wait. if someone knows, they will pipe up
[04:58] <zoom> lol
[04:58] <MikeS__> phase: grub wont even boot the XP drive, I believe the error is in the detection of Sd vs. Hd
[04:58] <AdministratorX> shiryu: What Lexmark printer do you have?
[04:58] <phazeman> MikeS__: did you do something with your HD's lately ? what could cause the problem to appear ?
[04:58] <shiryu> x2350
[04:58] <Nom-> vegar__: I was right the first time, can't see anything in (what i assume) is the right place  ... System => Administration => Network ?
[04:59] <Pepsi> Im anxious to use linux but my belkin54g usb isn't working any ideas?
[04:59] <phazeman> MikeS__: did you touch cables ? switch anything ?
[04:59] <AdministratorX> Have you downloaded the linux drivers from Lexmark?
[04:59] <shiryu> no where i download it?
[04:59] <AdministratorX> If so have you installed them?
[04:59] <MikeS__> phase: I am first intall on this computer. I've installed ubuntu on 3 other computers, this is my first install of xbuntu, I recentnly installed the additional HD
[04:59] <daurn> hi all
[04:59] <AdministratorX> Lexmark.com
[05:00] <shiryu> ok thanks
[05:00] <daurn> AFAIK, I need to apply an "ATA passthrough" patch
[05:00] <daurn> anyone know about this?
[05:00] <phazeman> MikeS__: and since you installed the additional HD yo uahve that problem ?
[05:00] <AdministratorX> look for Support / Drivers
[05:00] <MikeS__> phase : I'm an electrical engineer, so i'm confident the drives are installed correctly
[05:00] <Pepsi> Anyone have a wireless usb or card?
[05:00] <stelki> Is there any site to check out supported/unsupported hardware? I'm having certain issues with a P5N32-SLI motherboard.
[05:00] <ompaul> !language | Pepsi
[05:00] <ubotu> Pepsi: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[05:00] <Pepsi> Sorry?
[05:00] <Pepsi> !language
[05:00] <ompaul> about two minutes ago
[05:00] <Pepsi> Oh okay.
[05:00] <AdministratorX> That how I installed my Lexmark c522n
[05:01] <Pepsi> sorry
[05:01] <phazeman> MikeS__: you installed ubuntu, everything was just fine and then you installed a new HD and it won't start up now ?
[05:01] <MikeS__> phaseman: gpartition did not work, so I used UBCD to partition and format the new drive
[05:01] <Slart> stelki: there are sites that list compatible stuff and sites that list incompatible stuff.. I don't know the url's by heart.. google might be useful
[05:01] <user_> cristyiiii
[05:01] <daurn> ok... so... someone: I need to remove an ATA password from a sata drive on my laptop
[05:01] <luigi> hola
[05:01] <phazeman> MikeS__: are you sure you partitioned the correct drive ?
[05:01] <ompaul> !it | luigi
[05:02] <ubotu> luigi: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[05:02] <daurn> I've tried: sudo hdparm --security-unlock MYHDDPASSWORD /dev/sda
[05:02] <Slart> stelki: here's one http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Hardware-HOWTO/
[05:02] <MikeS__> phaseman: no, this particular computer has never had ubuntu on it  before, its an older computer, and xubuntu things the drives are scsi, hence it lables them sda and sdb
[05:02] <luigi> alguien me dice como configurar correo y amule?
[05:02] <daurn> but I get:
[05:02] <stelki> Slart: Thanks, appreciate it

[05:02] <daurn> anyone able to help?
[05:02] <MikeS__> phaseman: yes, correct drive, it shows ext3 and swap correctly
[05:02] <AdministratorX> No Problem
[05:02] <nub19> i have no "soundmixer" in my fluxbox :s
[05:02] <Slart> stelki: here's another http://www.linux-drivers.org/
[05:02] <luigi> ok
[05:03] <MikeS__> phaseman: maybe I will just remove grub and boot via bios...
[05:03] <phazeman> MikeS__: i just don't understand you. did you just install an xubuntu on a clean drive (when wiped it out with some tool) and it won't startup on you and never did startup ?
[05:03] <nub19> so i how can pump up the volume?
[05:03] <shiryu> administratorx i find the driver but it only work in windows
[05:03] <stelki> Slart: sweet.
[05:03] <daurn> is it possible to use hdparm on a sata device?
[05:03] <AdministratorX> what that model number again?
[05:03] <daurn> hdparm -I works...
[05:03] <phazeman> MikeS__: if you type "phaz" and press tab your IRC client will complete my nickname correctly ;-)
[05:04] <phazeman> MikeS__: It's _phazeman_
[05:04] <shiryu> x2350
[05:04] <MikeS__> phaseman: it's an older drive, I installed by removing partition and let xubuntu partition, ok, will do phas tab
[05:04] <phazeman> otherwise i can't see you type to me..
[05:04] <AdministratorX> hold a sec, let me check
[05:04] <phazeman> MikeS__: phaZ
[05:04] <MikeS__> phazeman: OHHH
[05:04] <phazeman> ;-)
[05:04] <nub19> i have no "soundmixer" in my fluxbox :s can i install this?
[05:04] <phazeman> lol
[05:04] <daurn> anyone listening to me?
[05:04] <dooglus> daurn: I'm not
[05:04] <tyro> :D
[05:05] <nub19> i have no "soundmixer" in my fluxbox :s how can i make the sound go higher?
[05:05] <pjl3dm> is there anyway to convert the Live CD ubuntu into alternate cd (text based installer)
[05:05] <tyro> dunno
[05:05] <phazeman> MikeS__: do yo uhave a dualboot on that drive or only ubuntu/xubuntu ?
[05:05] <vlitzer> nub19: start a console and type alsamixer
[05:05] <MikeS__> phazeman: wow, this is great! ok, sorry, i'm new to this irc.
[05:05] <phazeman> MikeS__: hehe
[05:05] <cr3> how to make cpufreq to show more frequencies to choose? it shows only 2.8 Ghz and 2.4Ghz
[05:05] <daurn> dooglus: then how did you see my msg to reply to? ;)
[05:05] <Slart> daurn: as far as I know hdparm only works on pATA disks.. not SATA
[05:06] <Slart> daurn: try with sdparm instead.. it's designed for scsi disks
[05:06] <daurnimator> Slart: hdparm -I works though
[05:06] <daurnimator> oh
[05:06] <MikeS__> phazeman: I have two drives, the original XP and the new (used but correctly partitioned) drive, installed xbuntu on the new drive.
[05:06] <phazeman> MikeS__: ok, when you installed, where did yo utell it to install the GRUB ?
[05:06] <Slart> daurnimator: yes.. some stuff works.. like timings etc.. but most of the stuff doesn't
[05:06] <cr3> how to make cpufreq to show more frequencies to choose? it shows only 2.8 Ghz and 2.4Ghz
[05:07] <daurn> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install sdparm
[05:07] <daurn> Package sdparm is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[05:07] <daurn> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[05:07] <daurn> is only available from another source
[05:07] <MikeS__> phazeman: that might be the problem, I went to advanced then said to install on sd1 vs. the default of sd0
[05:07] <daurn> slart: where do I get the thing? :P
[05:07] <Slart> daurn: google it.. it's out there.. I dl'ed and compiled it yesterday for another reason
[05:08] <AdministratorX> Looks like there is no Linux driver for you system, do you see a close match?
[05:08] <phazeman> MikeS__: looks like it. i think you have to reinstall GRUB, but you better ask some other users since the last time i ussed linux was about a year ago
[05:08] <cr3> how to make cpufreq to show more frequencies to choose? it shows only 2.8 Ghz and 2.4Ghz
[05:08] <MikeS__> phazeman: I was thinking the sd1 issue might be a problem, but grub comes up, I went to the file and it seems there are references to Hd0 and Hd1
[05:08] <phazeman> cr3: can't you just google ? geees... you asked 4 times already and i've found the howto in 1 second on google...
[05:08] <phazeman> cr3: http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/CPUFreq
[05:08] <shiryu> close match? sorry but english is not my native language what is that administratorx
[05:09] <daurn> ok, I've got it
[05:09] <Slart> cr3: you might not be able to.. I don't think cpus can scale frequencies as they wish.. there are some steps available.. I only have 3 diff frequencies
[05:09] <phazeman> MikeS__: sd1 means it's sata or scsi...
[05:09] <MikeS__> phazeman:there are also references to Sd0 and Sd1
[05:09] <gabe_> How do I exit X server?
[05:09] <phazeman> when you installed on sd1 - this is the odd thing if you tell me that you have only ide
[05:09] <MikeS__> phazeman: yes, I understand the Hd vs Sd
[05:09] <faileas> cntrl alt backspace i think
[05:09] <daurnimator> Slart/ anyone: how can I remove a hdd password with sdparm
[05:10] <phazeman> gabe_: you want to restart or go to different runlevel ?
[05:10] <MikeS__> phazeman: think the issue is why xubuntu thinks my drives are Sd vs. Hd
[05:10] <phazeman> MikeS__: thats very odd....
[05:10] <AdministratorX> When you check under System > Adminitration > Printing, is there a model number close to your printer model number?
[05:10] <Slart> daurnimator: I have no idea.. I didn't even know you could have passwords on harddrives..
[05:10] <MikeS__> phazeman: it seems to confuse xubuntu. And I think the core of my problem is this confusion
[05:10] <phazeman> MikeS__: did you try installing the original ubuntu and not xubuntu ?
[05:11] <MikeS__> phazeman: I was thinhking of doing that... but will have to 'get' that version... which is about what I'm thinking will have to be done
[05:11] <shiryu> no administratorx
[05:11] <MikeS__> phazeman: I have had success with Ubuntu and this  is the fist attempt at install of Xubuntu
[05:12] <shiryu> but thanks i think i must go to windows to print this, thanks
[05:12] <MikeS__> phazeman: i WAS thinking the lower requirements of X would be better for this machine
[05:12] <cox377> hey all, does anyone user NCFTP?
[05:12] <nub19> @vlitzer alsamixer is the shiznick ;)
[05:12] <phazeman> MikeS__: you know that you always can isntall flux or kde or anything you want. it's easy with ubuntu
[05:12] <phazeman> MikeS__: but i always prefer to install the oroginal distro as a main base
[05:12] <faileas> yay KDE ;)
[05:12] <vlitzer> it is posible to install kubuntu from ubuntu just apt-get the kubuntu meta package?
[05:13] <JoeR> hey
[05:13] <vox754> !kubuntu
[05:13] <ubotu> Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE
[05:13] <Myrtti> vlitzer: yes.
[05:13] <vlitzer> nice, thanks
[05:13] <JoeR> I got ubuntu loaded up anyone know about fixing wireless issues?
[05:13] <Myrtti> vlitzer: the metapackage being kubuntu-desktop
[05:13] <JoeR> Id donate 5$ :P for a solution
[05:13] <neopsyche> greetings
[05:13] <neopsyche> question .. does anyone know if vista runs on 32 bit chips?
[05:13] <faileas> yes
[05:13] <faileas> it does
[05:13] <zbrown> MikeS__: Ubuntu and Xubuntu have the same core, whether your drives are labeled sd* or hd* is irrelevant, both will do the same when setting up your system.
[05:13] <JoeR> yes it does
[05:13] <zbrown> neopsyche: yes they do
[05:14] <JoeR> Can anyoe help me?
[05:14] <jtole_> hey guys
[05:14] <MikeS__> phazeman: I will first try to remove grub and see if booting off the bios works. I'll lose the dual boot option... Yes, I was thinking that should be irrelevant... however..
[05:14] <zbrown> JoeR: what wireless card/
[05:14] <rick_> Hello, can someone please help me with external usb hard drive?
[05:14] <jtole_> real quick, is there a command I can run to tell if I have a package installed on my system?
[05:14] <rollerskatejamms> What's a good app for converting movie files to dvd format?
[05:14] <AdministratorX> You might want to try any base JetInk printer then, It does not look like there is a All In One driver that works for your printer under linux
[05:14] <JoeR> Its wireless USB adapter belink54g
[05:15] <neopsyche> hmm
[05:15] <neopsyche> wow thats cool
[05:15] <jtole_> rollerskatejamms, ffmpeg, mencoder
[05:15] <MikeS__> phazeman: I was researching this and someone said the error 7 was because ubuntu did not understand the correct drive paramethers
[05:15] <rollerskatejamms> jtole_, gui apps?
[05:15] <rick_> Hello, can someone please help me with external usb hard drive?
[05:15] <neopsyche> Im thinking of changing chip from turion 64 x 2 to a core duo t2300
[05:15] <jtole_> rollerskatejamms, don't know but ffmpeg is one of the best
[05:15] <MikeS__> phazeman: and hwen they put them in some file, it suddently started working...
[05:15] <neopsyche> then i will get an ati 1600 gfx
[05:15] <neopsyche> 128mb ram
[05:15] <neopsyche> onboard
[05:15] <JoeR> Any idea zbrown?
[05:15] <neopsyche> as opposed to geforce 7200 with 64 onboard
[05:15] <gabe> When installing the lastest nvidia drivers in text mode after shutting down X server, I get "no precompiled interface found to match your kernel"
[05:16] <MikeS__> phazeman: I cant seem to get to be able to edit the necessary file
[05:16] <zbrown> JoeR: yup, private message?
[05:16] <JoeR> Sure
[05:16] <rick_> Hello, can someone please help me with external usb hard drive?
[05:16] <rollerskatejamms> I'm going to try devede
[05:16] <Lilacor> I'd say roughly half of the questions on this channel are related to wireless.
[05:16] <MikeS__> phazeman: how can I get permission to edit? I think I need sudo edit
[05:16] <Lilacor> rick_: what seems to be the trouble?
[05:16] <faileas> hmm
[05:17] <rick_> When I plus it in and ntfs-3g is installed I get an unable to connect
[05:17] <MikeS__> phazeman: oh, I can install the edit, then go to terminal and start the edit pgrm with sudo edit
[05:17] <faileas> if i need root, i use sudo with the first user's password right?
[05:17] <rick_> Unclean shutdown
[05:17] <omha> faileas yes
[05:17] <zbrown> JoeR: Are you identified with the nickserver?
[05:17] <daurnimator> ANYONE know how to remove an ata password?
[05:18] <rick_> Do I need to scan the hard drive>?
[05:18] <Lilacor> rick_: then boot the box in windows, and shut the box down cleanly with the usb drive connected
[05:18] <wladimir> does anyone knows a good pdf reader for the terminal, which makes use of the framebuffer?
[05:18] <rick_> Can I not scan it with linux?
[05:18] <cox377>  and i run get -R XXX directory all it does it download the folder names and not the files with them, anyone got any ideas?
[05:18] <Lilacor> rick_: no
[05:18] <gabe> Any ideas on my "no precompiled interface found to match your kernel" error?
[05:18] <faileas> omha: thanks, used to distros with root, and windows so, wanted to check
[05:18] <Lilacor> rick_: boot it with windows and safely remove the device
[05:18] <rick_> Why not, what is restricting this operation?
[05:19] <wladimir> does anyone knows a good pdf reader for the terminal, which makes use of the framebuffer?
[05:19] <Lilacor> rick_: you yanked the HDD's usb cable without a "safe removal"
[05:19] <omha> faileas, you can also use sudo -i its the same as su but using user pw
[05:19] <JoeR> zbrown i need to register
[05:19] <JoeR> one sec
[05:19] <zbrown> JoeR: ok, thats what I was hoping
[05:19] <rick_> How do I do it safely in linux env?
[05:19] <Yorkshire> hello can anyone help me with a little problem please :D
[05:19] <Lilacor> rick_: mount... umount
[05:20] <silvertip257> what's up Yorkshire - ask =)
[05:20] <rick_> ok thanks Lilacor
[05:20] <daurn> :(
[05:20] <wladimir> does anyone knows a good pdf reader for the terminal, which makes use of the framebuffer?
[05:20] <faileas> omha: sudo will do, i'll just need to get used to it, swapping over from another distro so there's a little learning curve
[05:20] <Lilacor> rick_: with ntfs-3g.. ntfs-3g, umount
[05:20] <silvertip257> sorry no wladimir
[05:20] <wladimir> mhh, :
[05:20] <arthanix> are there any workaround for the devfs problem?
[05:20] <Yorkshire> Ive downloaded the drivers for my geforce 6 series but i can install because it says the xserver is running....
[05:20] <rick_> I have to mount and unmount with ntfs-3g?
[05:20] <rick_> What is I make the fs ext3?
[05:21] <Lilacor> rick_: if you want rw access to the volume, yes
[05:21] <silvertip257> ok Yorkshire ... I've read about this, but have not personally done it yet
[05:21] <Nom-> ok 2 things if anyone has any ideas:  1. The terminal is sending through some wierd stuff when I do things like alt-leftarrow (3D for instance) anyone know how to fix that?
[05:21] <rick_> if
[05:21] <Floker> yorkshire: loop up your query
[05:21] <Nom-> Acutally 2 i can find for myself, just need the page on > 3 button mice :)
[05:21] <rick_> Can I scan it with linux if damage occurs?
[05:21] <Lilacor> rick_: then you can mount it without ntfs-3g
[05:21] <Yorkshire> floker: eh
[05:21] <jonaskoelker> ... question
[05:21] <jonaskoelker> I'm trying to build iwlwifi
[05:21] <Lilacor> rick_: of course, it's native to linux
[05:21] <jonaskoelker> when I try, I get "Makefile not found at '/lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/source'"
[05:21] <iehova> Hi everyone. This is probably really n00bish, but i'm trying to get my friend's ipod to connect to her feisty computer, and nothing happens when the ipod is plugged in, except the screen brightens for a second.
[05:22] <rick_> Can you give me an example of the command?
[05:22] <jadacyrus> Is there a way to install linux-restricted-modules w/out nvidia-kernel-common ?
[05:22] <iehova> It isn't recognized or mounted by ubuntu
[05:22] <silvertip257> Yorkshire:  you will most likely need to install the drivers via terminal ...
[05:22] <Lilacor> rick_: you can scan the ntfs disk with your ntfs utilities but I haven't had any luck with having  it cleaned up without the use of windows
[05:22] <iehova> Can anyone point me in the right direction?
[05:22] <Floker> why is that?
[05:22] <Lilacor> rick_: fsck.ext3 <volumename>
[05:22] <rick_> I don't even know how to scan with ntfs utilities
[05:22] <rick_> I can't find them
[05:23] <Yorkshire> silvertip257: i have done, i did "sudo sh [Filename]  and it starts the install then says it cant continue while running an x server
[05:23] <Lilacor> rick_: look them up under your package manager
[05:23] <Lilacor> iehova: usually IPODs use HFS+
[05:23] <rick_> ok
[05:23] <rick_> thankjs
[05:23] <wlands> why sound doesn`t work on ubuntu 7.04?(
[05:23] <Floker> yo yorkshire, you dont have to do it the hard way
[05:23] <omha> Yorkshire, telinit 3
[05:23] <Yorkshire> ok??
[05:23] <Floker> just type in sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new
[05:23] <Lilacor> iehova: look for the volume underneath 'fdisk -l'
[05:24] <Floker> if youre using feisty, it is quite likely to work
[05:24] <Yorkshire> i installed thta driver and it messed up the screen resolutions etc
[05:24] <Lilacor> iehova: see if the volume is even detected with 'lsusb -vv'
[05:24] <Floker> thats okay
[05:24] <iehova> Thanks Lilacor, i'll try it now
[05:24] <Floker> you gotta change your xorg.conf neways
[05:24] <arthanix> I'm having problems booting after I installed my raid driver. I get the message "mount: unknown filesystem type: devfs" and the kernel panics.. I'd love some help. :)
[05:25] <Floker> i suppose you have changed the "nv" to "nvidia" after installing that package, right?
[05:25] <meridian> Hi, I am trying to install Ubuntu on a partition alongside XP, it keeps telling me that it is unable to find a root
[05:26] <iehova> Lilacor, lsusb -W doesn't work, and fdisk -l showed nothing.
[05:26] <Lilacor> iehova: did you use sudo?
[05:26] <gcbdm> What's the ndiswrapper package called in the desktop cd?
[05:26] <Lilacor> iehova: and I didn't put "W" I put two "Vs"
[05:26] <iehova> Oh, sorry. =/
[05:27] <Lilacor> iehova: it's okay, just read carefully
[05:27] <riotkittie> Err.
[05:27] <iehova> Lilacor: fdisk -l shows only the windows partition, and the three linux partitions
[05:28] <r00tintheb0x> iehova, fdisk -l shows all partitions on a system.
[05:28] <wlands> can anyone help me with sound on ubuntu?
[05:28] <acr0nym> !ask
[05:28] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[05:28] <acr0nym> lol what was it?
[05:28] <r00tintheb0x> wlands, have you checked on http://www.ubuntuforums.org yet?\
[05:28] <iehova> r00tintheb0x: Yeah, and I can't see the ipod there.
[05:28] <Lilacor> iehova: did you list your usb devices with lsusb -vv ?
[05:28] <r00tintheb0x> iehova, what do you mean ?
[05:28] <r00tintheb0x> ohhh
[05:29] <r00tintheb0x> you're trying to get your IPOD cracking with Ubuntu?
[05:29] <Lilacor> r00tintheb0x: that seems to be the case, yes
[05:29] <frojnd> does anyone know for any good program for edit mpg format?? I just bought handy cam HDTV and picture is great, I just need some program to edit movies...
[05:29] <iehova> Lilacor: lsusb -VV shows only "lsusb (usbutils) 0.72
[05:29] <iehova> "
[05:29] <Kalisto> r00tintheb0x, upgrade from Dapper to Feisty went without a hitch ;)
[05:29] <Lilacor> iehova: use two LOWERCASE vs
[05:29] <iehova> oh... OK
[05:30] <r00tintheb0x> oh yeah, last night.
[05:30] <staffa> hello, I don't understand the sense of -proposed -security and -updates directories of and ubuntu repository... any help or somewhere to read about them?
[05:30] <r00tintheb0x> good deal Kalisto, i didnt think you'd have much trouble.
[05:30] <gcbdm> What's the ndiswrapper package called in the desktop cd? Because I keep trying to use the cdrom as a reposotory
[05:30] <riotkittie> omfg. i'm dumb.
[05:30] <riotkittie> hahahahahaha
[05:30] <iehova> Lilacor: lsusb -vv just seems to hang...
[05:30] <meridian> Hi, I am tring to install Fiesty fawn on a partitioned drive, the installer keeps prompting that its unable to find a root
[05:31] <Kano64> hi, the mesa-utils package must be broken on amd64
[05:31] <Kano64> glxinfo kills X
[05:31] <Lilacor> iehova: if that is the case, there may be something seriously wrong with your box
[05:31] <Kano64> with vesa in xorg.conf
[05:31] <Lilacor> iehova: I get output right away with 'sudo lsusb -vv'
[05:31] <mister_roboto> meridian, did you format the partition and put a filesystem on it?  like ext3 or reiser?
[05:31] <iehova> Lilacor: Oh... right then... erkk
[05:32] <Kano64> also 915resultion needs a patch for g33
[05:32] <sander__> how can i do to auto start a shell program together with a wmaker when starting a session?????
[05:32] <meridian> mister_roboto, it has a partition, I created that through the Ubuntu partitioning utility
[05:33] <mister_roboto> meridian, did you tell it to put "/" on that partition?
[05:33] <Lilacor> sander__: use your .login file perhaps?
[05:33] <thrice`> are there any reliable pidgin packages around ?
[05:34] <sander__> Lilacor: where are this .login ?
[05:34] <Lilacor> sander__: or maybe your .Xsession file.. I fergit
[05:34] <meridian> I guess not, do not really remember. Should I recreate the partition in Ubuntu
[05:34] <thrice`> !pidgin
[05:34] <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.
[05:35] <meridian> i have Xp pro running on the primary partition (C:) D: is reserved for ubuntu and there is another, F for windows data.
[05:35] <Lilacor> sander__: nevermind, I don't see it under my shell
[05:35] <sander__> Lilacor: is some thing about .xinitrc that you can say?
[05:35] <Lilacor> iehova: so you're saying you don't see anything with 'sudo lsusb -vv' ??
[05:36] <Lilacor> sander__: I think that's the file I was thinking about
[05:36] <tomcatt> does anyone have any ideas on how to fix the dcopserver
[05:36] <jokoko> im on the live cd, about to install.. how do i know what drive grub will map to? i have /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc, and i want to install grub to sdc, not touching a or b at all
[05:36] <sander__> Lilacor: ok, i'll see here
[05:36] <meridian> mister_roboto, i have Xp pro running on the primary partition (C:) D: is reserved for ubuntu and there is another, F for windows data. can u provide me with a link with info on ubuntu partitioning ?
[05:36] <trenq> hi fellas, what's a good web development tool voor ubuntu?
[05:37] <trenq> web design
[05:37] <iehova> Lilacor: No, nothing. Just hangs there.
[05:37] <jokoko> how can i verify that hd0 = sda?
[05:37] <sander__> Lilacor: do you know what is the command line to put in the file? (exec program.sh ???)
[05:37] <thrice`> is getdeb.net generally a reasonable site ?
[05:37] <Sephnroth> gonna build a new server pc soon and fresh install of ubuntu for it.  is there any sensiable way of backing up apache and then restoring it other than copying htdocs and the config file across the network? :P i presume i can just do that safely
[05:37] <Lilacor> sander__: can't you just list the entire command with its path?
[05:37] <thrice`> !getdeb
[05:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about getdeb - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:38] <Lilacor> iehova: what about 'lshw' ?
[05:38] <Zambezi> Which one? vsftpd or glftpd?
[05:38] <The_Belgain> hi, i've got a vmware problem - maybe someone can help.
[05:39] <The_Belgain> during the installation of vmware-server using the default ubuntu packages on feisty, the postinst script fails to run - the error is that it's attempting to use eth0 as a network connection, when this connection doesn't exist
[05:39] <mister_roboto> meridian, partitioning is partitioning. if you have a partition used as drive D right now on windows and you want it for linux, reformat the partition when you're at that point in the installation. if you don't understand how to do that, i'm afraid it's beyond the scope of an irc chat. you'll have to google and read up
[05:39] <iehova> Lilacor: It just shows USB
[05:39] <iehova> That's it
[05:39] <phazeman> MikeS__: sorry... it was a boss alarm... i will come back later...
[05:40] <Sephnroth> also, in wine, is there any way to make a virtual desktop at like 1024x768 and force it to NOT resize the window, but to stretch instead? i wanna play an old 640x480 game in a window whilst im doing other stuff, but its horrid to play in such a small window
[05:40] <The_Belgain> i want it to use wlan0, but it isn't prompting me for the connection (it's not running in interactive mode)
[05:40] <Sephnroth> but wine keeps resizing it to the program res :(
[05:40] <andre_pl> when I'm using ps | grep something how can I tell ps not to return the grep? I know there was a trick to this but i can't remember
[05:40] <Lilacor> iehova: are you using 'sudo lshw' ????
[05:40] <iehova> Yep
[05:41] <sander__> Lilacor: i need to auto load idesk program, and i  don't got... :(
[05:41] <mayorbuttes> Hey guys, how do I get a cli login rather than a gui one?
[05:41] <someone> can someone point me to a document page where I can find information why the 7.04 won't recognize my floppy drive?
[05:41] <meridian> mister_roboto, oh no. I mentioned before that I partitioned it using Ubuntu itself, I need a unix partition, a windows partition will not work .. win is not even able to do anything on that partition
[05:41] <Lilacor> iehova: what kind of goofy hardware are you using?!@?$!@
[05:41] <DgrMouse> The_Belgian: I have just finished installing vmware on my new server and didn't have aproblem with the ports
[05:41] <iehova> Lilacor: Just some old p4 box. Everything else works perfectly...
[05:41] <gcbdm> Anyone know how I can get ndiswrapper from the desktop install CD? I tried adding the cdrom to me reposoroty. ut apt-get still can't find ndiswrapper
[05:42] <The_Belgain> if i run the VMware server console, the option to create a VM is greyed out
[05:42] <meridian> mister_roboto, I just needed info on how to create a root mount point while recreating the partition with ubuntu
[05:42] <Lilacor> iehova: do you get any output with 'sudo lspci -vv' ???
[05:42] <The_Belgain> i'm guessing this is because vmware server wasn't correctly configured?
[05:42] <mayorbuttes> gcbdm: Are you sure it's even on the disk? i didn't think it was.
[05:42] <mayorbuttes> Hey guys, how do I get a cli login rather than a gui one?
[05:42] <DgrMouse> can someone assist me in how to configure a decent firewall with port redirection to my vmware machines?
[05:42] <gcbdm> mayorbuttes: I can't find it manualy, but everyone keeps telling me it.
[05:42] <mayorbuttes> DgrMouse: Ubuntu comes with a firewall already
[05:43] <mister_roboto> meridian, the installer will give you the choice of mount point for the partition when you're at that point. choose "/" for the mount point for the root
[05:43] <mayorbuttes> !iptables | DgrMouse
[05:43] <ubotu> DgrMouse: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[05:43] <Lilacor> The_Belgain: I'm not sure if you're supposed to be able to make a VM using server
[05:43] <faileas> hmm
[05:43] <DgrMouse> I can't work out Firestarter.. I must be noob :)
[05:43] <iehova> Lilacor: Yeah, that gives a lot of info
[05:43] <Lilacor> mayorbuttes: ctrl+alt+F1->F6
[05:43] <meridian> mister_roboto, thanks for the help
[05:43] <someone> can anyone point me to a document page where I can find information why the 7.04 won't recognize my floppy drive?
[05:43] <mayorbuttes> Lilacor: I mean permanently
[05:44] <pietro10> Hi
[05:44] <faileas> i got a 128 bit wep network i'm trying to connect to, i don't seem to be able to. is there something i'm missing? i tried manual config and roaming mode...
[05:44] <pietro10> I just installed Ubuntu Studio
[05:44] <The_Belgain> hmm.. i thought it could - so what's the easiest way for me to create a new win2k install under ubuntu (i.e. a fresh windows install from a CD)?
[05:44] <pietro10> I have problems with X11
[05:44] <mister_roboto> Lilacor, i've only used vmware server on windows but you can definitely create a new vm with it
[05:44] <Lilacor> mayorbuttes: sudo apt-get remove xserver ubuntu-desktop
[05:44] <pietro10> I didn't have them with Ubuntu or Kubuntu, though
[05:44] <pietro10> When it goes to start X11, X11 crashes with signal 11 (ha) and it gives me a garbled text user interface attempt with the error clearly readable
[05:44] <Lilacor> mister_roboto: okay.
[05:44] <Nom-> Ah, crapola... Evolution uses OWA now instead of direct connections (Exchange server)
[05:44] <mayorbuttes> Lilacor: hah, no no :p. I mean, I just don't want to login via a gui. I still like xserver
[05:44] <DgrMouse> Lilacor: Are you having problems with vmware?
[05:44] <mister_roboto> Lilacor, some people confuse vmware player with the server and you can only play vm's with the player
[05:45] <Zambezi> Anyone would like to share a paranoid setup for vsftpd?
[05:45] <Lilacor> DgrMouse: no
[05:45] <DgrMouse> Lilacor: my bad.. isread
[05:45] <DgrMouse> ^misread
[05:45] <pietro10> Is there a tool for reconfiguring X11
[05:45] <Lilacor> Zambezi: my super paranoid configuration would be to have it shutoff when I'm not using it.
[05:45] <magnetron> Zambezi: i you were paranoid, you would not trust someone from IRC to setup your FTP server
[05:46] <arpharazon> Hello again
[05:46] <defrysk> Lilacor, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:46] <Lilacor> mayorbuttes: then just remove ubuntu-desktop and take the xserver out of your rc files
[05:46] <mister_roboto> magnetron, lol   good answer
[05:46] <hylje> can i install packages matching a regexp but excluding some packages from it?
[05:46] <someone> can anyone point me to a document page where I can find information why the 7.04 won't recognize my floppy drive?
[05:46] <hylje> (apt-get, aptitude?)
[05:46] <defrysk> Lilacor, run defaults
[05:46] <iehova> Lilacor: dmesg gives info about attached scsi removable disk sdb, but then keeps repeating 'sdb: READ CAPACITY failed, status=0, message=00, host=1, driver=00 / sense not available / Write protect is off / Mode sense: 00 00 00 00 / assuming drive cache: write through'
[05:46] <arpharazon> When I go to KInfoCenter and click OpenGL on the left the screen goes black, then I get the login screen.
[05:47] <Lilacor> defrysk: huh?
[05:47] <arpharazon> I don't think it's supposed to be happening... is it?
[05:47] <defrysk> someone, mount /media/floppy
[05:47] <[hydra] _> how would i take a program off the list that apt installs, what happened was i tried to install a program and it didn't get configured properly but now every time i run apt-get it runs through the dpkg --configure script even if thats not what i apt-get installed
[05:47] <defrysk> Lilacor, probably i misunderstood your question
[05:47] <bkc> i am installing 7.04 desktop on dimension 5100, the sata drive gets assigned /dev/sda, but then sda gets assigned to the cdrom and partition manager gets confused.  proc  shows the sata moved to scsi2.  is there a boot opt to treat the cdrom as ide?
[05:47] <someone> defrysk, doesn't work...gets errors
[05:47] <Lilacor> defrysk: I didn't have a question about xserver. mayorbuttes did however.
[05:48] <peyo> cze
[05:48] <heroin> bkc: wow thats one weird error
[05:48] <pietro10> Hello. Is there a command-line tool for reconfiguring X11?
[05:48] <defrysk> someone, mount /media/floppy0
[05:48] <defrysk> try that
[05:48] <someone> defrysk, still gives errors
[05:48] <heroin> pietro10: xorg-reconfigure i believe
[05:48] <pietro10> OK, I'll try it now. be back if it doesn't work
[05:48] <pietro10> exit
[05:48] <defrysk> someone, umount /media/floppy ; mount /media/floppy
[05:49] <tomcatt> !ubotu dcopserver
[05:49] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dcopserver - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:49] <someone> defrysk, attempt to access beyond end of device
[05:49] <Lilacor> iehova: install hfsutils
[05:49] <inflex> anyone installed vmware workstation 5.5 into Ubuntu 7.04 ?
[05:49] <defrysk> someone, umount /media/floppy and remove the floppy and try another one
[05:49] <Lilacor> inflex: I've installed 6, not 5.5
[05:49] <inflex> I try but it barfs out when it goes to build the new vm modules using the kernel source
[05:49] <iehova> Lilacor: ok
[05:50] <inflex> Lilacor: darn, I'm only licenced for 5.5 atm
[05:50] <someone> defrysk, already tried 3 that works on other computers
[05:50] <defrysk> someone, whats the errormessage ?
[05:50] <defrysk> (in short)
[05:50] <magnetron> inflex: what did the VMware support tell you?
[05:50] <iehova> Lilacor: done, and now?
[05:50] <Lilacor> inflex: find the patch that's floating out there so you can run the install
[05:50] <arpharazon> Umm... Can anyone? I get kicked back to the login screen when I click OpenGL in KInfoCenter.
[05:50] <inflex> magnetron: "Refer to our forums" *sigh*
[05:51] <inflex> Lilacor: ja, looking around again
[05:51] <Lilacor> iehova: I don't understand why your system doesn't understand 'lsusb'
[05:51] <DgrMouse> how do i do a port re-direction in the iptables firewall?
[05:51] <mjr> arpharazon, your opengl acceleration driver isn't working very well then
[05:51] <magnetron> inflex: that's bad
[05:51] <someone> defrysk, it gives a long output of error messages.
[05:51] <defrysk> someone, weird
[05:51] <someone> defcon_, Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0
[05:51] <arpharazon> mjr, Can I fix it?
[05:51] <defrysk> and other floppies work fine ?
[05:51] <CyberCod> Hello everyone, is it possible to get the new GAIM (Pidgin) on ubuntu 6.06?
[05:52] <inflex> magnetron: tell me about it :(  esp since I've paid quite a lot for it
[05:52] <Lilacor> CyberCod: yes, download the tarball and install it.
[05:52] <inflex> magnetron: this is what they send u to - http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&externalId=1623
[05:52] <defrysk> CyberCod, find it at getdeb.net , works and installs fine
[05:52] <CyberCod> I'm getting some errors having to do with xml-perl
[05:52] <CyberCod> defrysk   awesome thanks will look
[05:53] <someone> defrysk, , Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0
[05:53] <Lilacor> iehova: what does your /var/log/messages say when you insert the ipod?
[05:53] <magnetron> inflex: what linux distributions do they support?
[05:53] <inflex> Lilacor: I didn't wnat to move to v6.0 yet because they usually either time-out the licences or they force-enable debug in them
[05:53] <defrysk> someone, sorry
[05:53] <Lilacor> inflex: I see
[05:53] <inflex> magnetron: well, put it this way, I got it to run no problem on Slackware and it's not supported :(  They say Ubuntu should be supported but nothing about 7.04
[05:53] <Lilacor> Grrrr.. SCIM is pissing me off
[05:54] <cox377> does anyone know why in ncftp  and i run get -R XXX directory all it does it download the folder names and not the files with them, anyone got any ideas?
[05:54] <magnetron> inflex: they just say or "Ubuntu" or they say "Ubuntu 6.06"?
[05:54] <iehova> lilacor: nothing. Not that i can see
[05:55] <inflex> magnetron: I'd have to check again - but I'm digging through the forums atm
[05:55] <someone> Does anyone have any links to document pages where there are troubleshooting guides for floppy drives? I have searched ubuntu on my own all day.
[05:55] <Zambezi> magnetron, I will of course look through it alot. I just want something to work on cause it's really hard to begin from zero.
[05:55] <jokoko> wow, ubuntu is very hard to install.. to bad there is no way to figure out which of my discs grub refers to as (hd0), wouldnt want to install it to the wrong disk... :P
[05:55] <Myrtti> hd0 is the primary master
[05:56] <GigaClon> anyone have this problem, when I save files from firefox, sometimes it creates the file on the disk but its size is 0
[05:56] <Kano64> jokoko: most easy way: power off all others
[05:56] <thrice`> jokoko: there is a TON of documetnation on how grub works.  try searcing yourself
[05:56] <defrysk> jokoko, hd0 is the master boot record
[05:56] <Myrtti> or that ^
[05:56] <Kano64> then you can boot with bios selection of right disk
[05:56] <thrice`> the grub config file even provides information
[05:56] <dabide> hi, i just installed xubuntu on my edgy server (as backup-option to access the internet, if  my notebook breaks down) - how can  i set it to NOT start at systeem bootup? i'd like to sartt it via the terminal, onlly if i need itt
[05:57] <tayfun> e you
[05:57] <bruenig> make sure gdm doesn't run at boot
[05:57] <pike_> dabide, sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove    then to start manually sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[05:57] <defrysk> apt-get remove gdm
[05:57] <Lilacor> cox377: the easy answer is this... the ftp server you're trying to do a recursive suck on isn't allowing you to do so
[05:57] <magnetron> Zambezi: https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/index.html will give you a start. but actually FTP is not for the paranoid - the passwords are sent unencrypted
[05:57] <dabide> i'll tryy thhx
[05:57] <defrysk> xfce should also start witn startxfce (manually)
[05:58] <Yggdrasil> is therre a way to have a different wallpaper on each desktop?
[05:58] <jokoko> Kano64: ty, did that last time i installed, just thought there was a smart way to do it
[05:58] <iehova> Lilcaor: It's the same as with dmesg, it gives info about attached scsi removable disk sdb, but then keeps repeating 'sdb: READ CAPACITY failed, status=0, message=00, host=1, driver=00 / sense not available / Write protect is off / Mode sense: 00 00 00 00 / assuming drive cache: write through'
[05:58] <inflex> Yggdrasil: might have to change to a different WM
[05:58] <Lilacor> iehova: tail -f /var/log/messages under one terminal window
[05:58] <iehova> Lilcaor: Actually, it wasn't exactly the same
[05:58] <iehova> but "READ CAPACITY failed" etc.
[05:58] <Lilacor> iehova: . . .
[05:59] <Lilacor> iehova: and unplug the ipod.. then plug it back in to see if you get any system messages at all
[05:59] <Moniker42> i just deleted something in KDe
[05:59] <Moniker42> how do i get it back, no trashcan?
[05:59] <Kano64> jokoko: the most smart way would be an edition option in the installer for hdX mapping - the devices.map file before actually installing grub. maybe there will be an installer soon that handles that right, just not for pure ubuntu ;)
[05:59] <iehova> lilacor: nope...
[06:00] <elnimr> what is that mixer thing for configuring sound
[06:00] <pike_> Moniker42, hopefully, if its not in trash then id just let it go
[06:00] <Yggdrasil> inflex, i know kde can do it
[06:00] <defrysk> Moniker42, trashcan is available as applet , rightclick empty spot on panel select add applet then select the trashcan
[06:00] <Yggdrasil> im blaying with compiz feature
[06:00] <Yggdrasil> thought desktops would wbe nice
[06:01] <Moniker42> defrysk: thanks :)
[06:01] <Moniker42> a design app decided to crash spontaneously
[06:01] <elnimr> hey what is the mixer
[06:01] <defrysk> beryl runs nicely on kde
[06:01] <elnimr> thing
[06:01] <Moniker42> corrupted the save as well
[06:01] <elnimr>  for configuring soujnd
[06:01] <elnimr> '
[06:01] <Lilacor> iehova: do ANY of your usb devices work?
[06:02] <timmyw29> i'm on the lookout for a search app, preferably gui, that i can use to just search my whole filesystem of sub-folders etc
[06:02] <timmyw29> any clues>
[06:02] <timmyw29> ?
[06:02] <Tom47> timmyw29: beagle?
[06:02] <Moniker42> timmyw29: the searchbar in nautilus perhaps?
[06:02] <ynnk> hi
[06:03] <ynnk> Where is sshd logs ???
[06:03] <Lilacor> ynnk: probably under /var/log/...
[06:03] <magnetron> timmyw29: beagle
[06:03] <timmyw29> thanks guys i'll give 'em a look
[06:03] <timmyw29> i'm completely new to linux, just installed xubuntu today
[06:03] <ynnk> Lilacor: no :(
[06:03] <timmyw29> this has been a great channel for help btw
[06:03] <timmyw29> muchly appreciated
[06:03] <Tom47> timmyw29: thunar then
[06:04] <peyo> lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
[06:04] <dr_willis> timmyw29,  locate command is darn handy also. :)
[06:04] <MikeS__> phazeman: It's OK, I figured it was something like that.... I'm on live CD so cant download the ubuntu distro.
[06:04] <iehova> Lilacor: There was an external hard drive were working earlier... but now nothing is
[06:04] <Lilacor> iehova: reboot your box and then try to list the usb devices
[06:04] <defrysk> timmyw29, if you like the old norton commander you might be insterested in mc , it rocks!
[06:04] <MikeS__> phazeman: I also went to terminal and typed in grub: i tried the 'root' command and it not working
[06:05] <frojnd> does anyone know here for any program that can edit .mpg video and support some effects??
[06:05] <timmyw29> sweet, i've got a few to look at now :)
[06:05] <defrysk> timmyw29, and for 2pane managers you might like gnome-commander
[06:05] <MikeS__> phazeman: I know you are not 'here' now, just updating you. I will use UBCD to remove grub and see if I can boot on one hd alone
[06:05] <dr_willis> frojnd,  depends on what you are wanting to do exactly. I use that avidmix program
[06:06] <iehova> Lilacor: Booting up and the ipod is flashing, so USB works
[06:06] <laser-> I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a Dell Inspiron 6400. I'm trying to boot the CD, the Ubuntu Logo appears and the "load bar" or whatever. after a period of time I'm getting a blank screen. Any way to debug this?

[06:06] <robdeman> hi folks, I installed cxxstream (XBMSP) t0 stream to my Xbox Media Center... but how do I make the 'ccxstream' service run at startup?
[06:06] <Lilacor> iehova: yes but the fact that you're unable to CONNECT anything to it leads me to believe that there's something funny going on with your usb subsystem
[06:07] <iehova> Lilacor: it works?!

[06:07] <aa_> cool
[06:07] <iehova> Lilacor: I doln't know why, but it works... perfectly.
[06:07] <MikeS__> phazeman: thanks for  your help. I have to reboot the system now.
[06:07] <iehova> Thanks for all your help, Lilacor.
[06:07] <frojnd> dr_willis: I wanna crop vide, paste more videos together and some effects like slow motion,...
[06:07] <gabe> how come when I type dir in the terminal it doesnt list anything that is on the desktop?
[06:07] <ediskrad> anyone can help me??
[06:07] <Lilacor> iehova: okay, then install gtkpod

[06:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kdeinit - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[06:08] <ediskrad> oks men :)
[06:08] <staffa> which is de difference between ubuntu-updates and ubuntu-backports?
[06:08] <Lilacor> !ask > ediskrad
[06:08] <frojnd> dr_willis:how can I install it, are there any repos or do I have to download deb file?
[06:08] <laser-> or for the very least how can I get some info on what the ubuntu loader is doing?
[06:08] <gabe> How come typing dir in the terminal doesnt list the files on the desktop?

[06:09] <aa_> staffa: updates are newer versios of the package in the current distro. Backports are versions that are in newer distros changed for your current distro
[06:09] <defrysk> gabe, try ls
[06:09] <defrysk> gabe also man ls

[06:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dcop - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:09] <gabe> it just says dekstop examples
[06:09] <FutureMarine> can I have some help please not to be pushy or anything
[06:09] <Zambezi> magnetron, I'm going to force SSL. No SSL, no transfer.
[06:09] <Lilacor> gabe: probably because you didn't specify the directory
[06:09] <gabe> it says gabe@gabe-desktop
[06:10] <robdeman> anybody? how can I make something like 'ccxstream -f -F /var/run/ccxstream.pid -P s3cre7 -r /u/documents -S video=/u/videos -S audio=/u/mp3' run at startup?
[06:10] <magnetron> Zambezi: i would recommend scp instead
[06:10] <defrysk> gabe, ls /path/to/your/destiny/
[06:10] <FutureMarine> I put in the alternate xubuntu dapper drake cd and it loads but after the hardware detection it sits there doing nothing
[06:10] <Lilacor> FutureMarine: sounds like you might have to install a command line system first
[06:10] <frojnd> dr_willis: can u pass me that repo plese ?
[06:10] <frojnd> please*
[06:10] <FutureMarine> how do I do that
[06:10] <imran> hello?
[06:10] <pike_> gabe, the desktop there is the computer's name not the directory youre in. type 'hostname' for example and it will respond with desktop
[06:10] <dr_willis> FutureMarine,  you did check the md5sum on the cd?/iso file?
[06:10] <MrMiste1> robdeman: go to sytstem>>prefernces>>sessions and go the to the startup tab
[06:10] <Pelo> gabe,  that is user @machine-name,  you want your desktop   cd Desktop ,   case sensitive
[06:10] <FutureMarine> I dont get what md5sum means
[06:10] <marshall> how do you mount a cd image (.iso)?
[06:11] <Zambezi> magnetron, But I want to limit the access to the directories cause I have private files on the harddrive too.
[06:11] <Lilacor> FutureMarine: when you first boot the DVD/CD, it gives you the option of installing a command line system.
[06:11] <pike_> marshall, use the loop option line mount -o loop file.iso /mnt
[06:11] <FutureMarine> o no how do I check the md5sum
[06:11] <staffa> aa_: I undertand updates, but I don't catch backports... can you tell me a bit more about them?
[06:11] <Lilacor> FutureMarine: md4sum just verifies your files
[06:11] <robdeman> MrMiste1: Ok.. and should I move the freshly compiled cxxstream to something like /usr/bin/locale ?
[06:11] <defrysk> FutureMarine, md5sum <file>
[06:11] <FutureMarine> how do I check the md5sum file I am new at linux
[06:11] <marshall> pike_, ok, thanks man
[06:11] <Lilacor> robdeman: usually 'make install'
[06:12] <defrysk> FutureMarine, the result should match the given md5sum
[06:12] <gabe> thank you
[06:12] <robdeman> Lilacor: there is no make install target defined
[06:12] <MrMiste1> robdeman: you can do, but it shouldn't be neccessary as long as your command points to what you wanna do
[06:12] <rp3> whats a good video editor for amd64?
[06:12] <pike_> gabe, pwd or 'print working directory' will tell you youre location also
[06:12] <Lilacor> robdeman: where did you run that command from?
[06:12] <vbabiy> Hey is there a way to put a chooser on gnome like to one on OSX for login
[06:12] <admintroy> I am really lost with this port re-direction.. can someone assist if possible please?
[06:12] <robdeman> MrMistel: Well I just compiled cxxstream in /home/rob/cxxstream
[06:12] <Lilacor> robdeman: did you run it from the same directory where the program was compiled?
[06:12] <FutureMarine> so what are the installation steps for my situation
[06:12] <staffa> aa_: are backports the way to put in a distro software that initially was not in it?
[06:13] <aa_> staffa: yes
[06:13] <pike_> vbabiy, what is a chooser?
[06:13] <Lilacor> FutureMarine: first verify your CD image to see if you have a bunk image or not
[06:13] <robdeman> Lilactor: what exactly do youy mean? I have just compiled cxxstream in my homedir and there is no 'make install'
[06:13] <pike_> vbabiy, like click a username icon?
[06:13] <ediskrad_> hi again
[06:13] <dabide> hi, i just asked how to get rid of auto-starting xubuntu on my edgy server (i want to start it manually only if i need it) - so i removed the gdm entries and uninstalled it, as i was told 2mins ago, but now in the server terminal i cant start xubunut again, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start fails, and sudo xfce start is not found
[06:13] <aa_> staffa: but take some packages like the kernel, edgy has kernel 2.17.10/11 but one day someone might backport 2.6.20
[06:13] <vbabiy> pike_:  yea
[06:13] <zbrown> staffa: not necessarily software that wasn't initially in it, could also be a newer version of a piece of software that has significant updates to it
[06:13] <FutureMarine> how do I verify the cd its one of the options before you install it right
[06:13] <ediskrad_> i'll ask again
[06:13] <robdeman> Lilactor: the readme file says how I can manually start the server using the commandline -- but I need this to be done at boottime
[06:13] <MrMiste1> robdeman: keep it in your home cxxstream and do ctrl-alt-backspace to try it (bear in mind it will restart x and close your current apps)
[06:13] <aa_> bah 2.6.17
[06:13] <staffa> aa_: ah good example!
[06:14] <bruenig> dabide, startxfce4
[06:14] <dr_willis> FutureMarine,  there should be an option at the initial boot screen
[06:14] <ediskrad_> i trying to load a module of ipw2200.1.2.1 patched driver
[06:14] <Lilacor> FutureMarine: you want to verify the .ISO image
[06:14] <pike_> vbabiy, hmm i dunno.
[06:14] <vbabiy> pike_:  ok thanks pike
[06:14] <ediskrad_> sudo insmod ipw2200.ko rtap_iface=1
[06:14] <Lilacor> FutureMarine: I'm not sure.
[06:14] <robdeman> MrMistel: You mean using Gnome?
[06:14] <dr_willis> thers also md5sum tools for windows - to verify the iso file.
[06:14] <MrMiste1> yep
[06:14] <ediskrad_> i et error: insmod: error inserting 'ipw2200.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module
[06:14] <robdeman> ah
[06:14] <staffa> aa_ and zbrown so, the key word is significantly different?
[06:14] <pike_> vbabiy, there is autologin so maybe that would enable it. gksu gdmsetup
[06:14] <Lilacor> robdeman: you didn't run a ./configure and then a make at all?
[06:14] <FutureMarine> ok I did the option of detecting the cd thats the right one?
[06:14] <dabide> bruenig: : thx, that did it
[06:15] <MrMiste1> robdeman: are you using gnome?
[06:15] <robdeman> yes
[06:15] <robdeman> now I am
[06:15] <MrMiste1> i see
[06:15] <FutureMarine> ok I did the option of detecting the cd thats the right one?
[06:15] <cyzie> hello, i have a ubuntu disk from shipit. is it possible if i can copy all the cd content to a http server  then install the OS over the network?
[06:16] <aa_> ok, I need to disable gdm, and gnome, and boot a different window manager...what is the best way for this?
[06:16] <MrMiste1> why do you need to disab;e gdm to boot a different wm?
[06:16] <FutureMarine> I did the option of detecting the cd for defects and now it stopped again
[06:16] <FutureMarine> I have the system requirements
[06:17] <MrMiste1> FutureMarine: Sounds like it could be your cd drive, is it whirring really really fast, mine get's read errors
[06:17] <gabe> How do I stop x server?
[06:17] <MrMiste1> kill x?
[06:17] <gabe> yea
[06:17] <FutureMarine> Yea it does that then it stops and does it again but then I can install ubuntu version 5.04 and that installed right
[06:17] <robdeman> folks: where should I nomrally put a binary file such as cxxstream?
[06:18] <cox377> lila
[06:18] <robdeman> I dont want cxxstream to be in my home dir, thats so chaotic :0
[06:18] <rollerskatejamms> My sister is either brilliant or completely stupid.
[06:18] <staffa> do backports have a previous stage like updates has proposed?
[06:18] <rollerskatejamms> She manages to make firefox freeze up whenever she goes to myspace, no matter what the operating system.
[06:18] <bkc> for the record, regarding sda being reassigned from sata to cdr device during boot, the kernel option hda=ide-scsi seems to have fixed that
[06:18] <p1ls> how can i end sudo session?
[06:19] <boxnetnet> type exit
[06:19] <ShackJack> rollerskatejamms - Myspace is completely stupid :)
[06:19] <vbabiy> hey pike_ i found it in the Login Window dialog you can choose how to log in
[06:19] <rollerskatejamms> ShackJack, Well that's true but besides the point.
[06:19] <pike_> rollerskatejamms, its myspace trust me
[06:19] <ShackJack> rollerskatejamms - prolly a plugin on one of the dumb Myspace pages causing it...
[06:19] <bytekode> rollerskatejamms: or gecko is a slow, pos rendering engine :P
[06:19] <gabe> so, how do you shut down X server?
[06:19] <p1ls> how can i end sudo session?
[06:19] <rollerskatejamms> bytekode, yeah what do you use? Konqueror?
[06:19] <pike_> vbabiy, yeah i was playing around with it. i managed to crash gdm but didnt find that feature your looking for :)
[06:19] <ShackJack> gabe - CTRL-ALT-Backspace
[06:19] <bytekode> iceweasel (recompiled to remove bloat and speed it up) :D
[06:19] <boxnetnet> sudo /etc/init.d/X11 stop   or simular
[06:20] <dr_willis> gabe,  to do what exactly ? i normally just stop the GDM service
[06:20] <pike_> vbabiy, ah
[06:20] <rollerskatejamms> bytekode, ah ok
[06:20] <gabe> doesnt that just log out?
[06:20] <rijo> how can i find out the name of my internal ethernet card? its installed but i dont see the name anywhere
[06:20] <Myrtti> ifconfig
[06:20] <dr_willis> gabe,   sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop  (or restart) or (start) :)
[06:20] <FutureMarine> how do I fix my cd rom problem I have to buy a new one right?
[06:20] <rollerskatejamms> bytekode, Cuz I hate it when people suggest Konqueror. Blah blah yes khtml is a "great" renderer. But the text in konquerer is SO UGLY
[06:20] <ShackJack> gabe - well it ends Xsesson - or go to C/L and sudo init 1
[06:20] <bytekode> rollerskatejamms: i agree, khtml is amazing, but i hate konqueror :/
[06:20] <gabe> i do that but then it stops half way through
[06:21] <jueqel> My Recently created pdf's are coming out as garbled text on my pda. This is the case for print-to-file and OOo's export-to-pdf. (old pdf's unaffected). I've tried different fonts (times, courier, etc.). Any advise on what I should look for? (using 7.04 feisty)
[06:21] <rijo> Myrtti: doesnt show the name
[06:21] <aa_> MrMiste1: because I don't want it running
[06:21] <Myrtti> rijo: try lspci
[06:21] <aa_> MrMiste1: maybe I could get it to skip the login screen
[06:21] <rijo> Myrtti: neither =/
[06:21] <rollerskatejamms> bytekode, btw you know how sometimes fonts show up weird on some sites in linux? like on utorrent.com for example. You can fix that by replacing the default fonts with their liberation equivalents
[06:21] <Myrtti> is it pci/pcmcia card?
[06:21] <Neil-> anyone know how I can play rtsp streams, ie bbc news, though a proxy? mplayer doesnt progress from 'connecting to [address] ', vlc, gxine, dont work either
[06:22] <robdeman> MrMiste1:  sytstem>>prefernces>>sessions this is only when I log into Gnome right? I need to execute something just at server start.. not on login to Gnome
[06:22] <rijo> Myrtti: its on the motherboard
[06:22] <Myrtti> so it *should* be pci
[06:22] <dr_willis> robdeman,  for SYSTEM type things.. theres the rc.local script
[06:22] <bytekode> rollerskatejamms: try installing the microsoft fonts package... it's like msttcorefonts or something similar
[06:22] <MrMiste1> ah, maybe you should put that into a little bash script
[06:22] <MrMiste1> and do chmod +x 'scriptname'
[06:22] <robdeman> rc.local ah
[06:22] <ShackJack> rollerskatejamms - the vista fonts are really cool - stick 'em in your .fonts folder in your home dir...
[06:22] <dr_willis> linux is all about layers. :)
[06:22] <MrMiste1> then just run it ./scriptname
[06:22] <rollerskatejamms> bytekode, yes that works too if you set firefox to use them. but the liberation fonts are fonts made to be equivalent to those, but GPLd
[06:23] <FutureMarine> I have another xubuntu cd and it says Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical clock 0
[06:23] <ShackJack>  dr_willis - like onions and ogres?
[06:23] <dr_willis> !find liberation
[06:23] <FutureMarine> during installation
[06:23] <rollerskatejamms> I prefer not to use fonts that are technically illegal for me to use
[06:23] <Rodel> Couple quick questions: 1) How do i set up programs to launch at login? and 2) How do i get sound to work?
[06:23] <dr_willis> ShackJack,  more like Legos and Cakes. :)
[06:23] <ubotu> Package/file liberation does not exist in feisty
[06:23] <bytekode> rollerskatejamms: the liberation fonts are nice too, but i don't use them
[06:23] <h4wk0> !find libjack
[06:23] <ubotu> Found: libjack0.100.0-0, libjack0.100.0-dev, libjackasyn-dev, libjackasyn0
[06:23] <rollerskatejamms> I use the liberation fonts on principle
[06:23] <dr_willis> Cake... Droooooooll...
[06:23] <ShackJack> rollerskatejamms - meh - legal schmegal
[06:23] <MrMiste1> Rodel, are you using gnome?
[06:24] <h4wk0> !sound > Rodel
[06:24] <Rodel> MrMiste1, I think so?
[06:24] <FutureMarine> I have another xubuntu cd and it says Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical clock 0
[06:24] <MrMiste1> rodel: go to system>>preferences>>sessions, then the startup tab, and enter what you want to run
[06:24] <FutureMarine> what do i do
[06:24] <dr_willis> FutureMarine,  you got a floppy drive in that box?
[06:24] <MrMiste1> FutureMarine: sounds like your disk drive
[06:24] <someone> Does anyone have any links to document pages where there are troubleshooting guides for floppy drives? I have searched ubuntu on my own all day.
[06:24] <dr_willis> FutureMarine,  may want to disable the floppy in bios. ive heard of others with floppy issues.
[06:24] <ShackJack> someone - what's a floppy drive :)
[06:25] <FutureMarine> I just installed it because its a laptop that I have to connect the floppy drive
[06:25] <Neil-> mplayer http_proxy://myproxy.something.com:8080/http://wm-acl.bbc.co.uk/wms/news/media_acl/mps/fix/news/world/video/96000/bb/96939_16x9_bb.wmv
[06:25] <Neil-> this works perfectly
[06:25] <FutureMarine> When I did that before it had another error but with the HD
[06:25] <Rodel> Alright, Thanks MrMiste1 and h4wk0
[06:25] <Neil-> but the mplayer plugin doesnt connect
[06:25] <Neil-> any ideas?
[06:25] <nexous> When I drag my .ttf font into ~/.fonts it's not listed in fonts.
[06:26] <MrMiste1> !sound > mrmiste1
[06:26] <ShackJack> nexous - you have to refresh font list via C/L or just log out and back it...
[06:26] <MrMiste1> !sound
[06:26] <faileas> anyone familar with compiling ralink  RT61 driver in ubuntu feisty? i seem to be getting a LOT of errors compiling
[06:26] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[06:26] <nexous> ShackJack: I have logged out and logged back in
[06:26] <faileas> i followed the instructions on the wiki
[06:27] <nexous> ShackJack: I dragged the font to the folder, but it doesnt appear listed.
[06:27] <robdeman> hey I feel rc.local does not execute
[06:27] <psaux> hi guys
[06:27] <robdeman> is there any logfile?
[06:27] <buggy> guten abend
[06:28] <ShackJack> nexous - is the font in that folder?
[06:28] <nexous> ShackJack: No, also where is trash located in the system? (file system)
[06:28] <ShackJack> /home/yourdir/.Trash
[06:29] <FutureMarine> What other ubuntu os's work on laptops with the specs I have
[06:29] <FutureMarine> pentium one 233 mhz, 2.2 gig hd, 128 megs of ram
[06:30] <h4wk0> FutureMarine; Your prob best to use xubtuntu - which has a less whoring User API
[06:30] <ShackJack> nexous - to refresh fonts via C/L:  fc-cache -f -v ~/.fonts
[06:30] <FutureMarine> I have xubuntu and having problems installing it
[06:30] <FutureMarine> I need step by step help installing it
[06:31] <msingh> does the ubuntu live cd come with wish/tk - what about remote desktop?
[06:31] <ShackJack> FutureMarine - boot form CD - click install icon on desktop :)
[06:31] <FutureMarine> a live cd?
[06:31] <ShackJack> FutureMarine - sure, why not...
[06:31] <FutureMarine> because I only have the install cd
[06:31] <nexous> /home/nexous/.fonts doesn't exist, i thought that was created with msstcorefonts?
[06:31] <FutureMarine> were can I find the xubuntu live cd
[06:32] <ShackJack> nexous - nope you have to make it - core fonts go somewhere else...
[06:32] <vox754> msingh: yes Tcl8.4  and Tk8.4 are available, but none of the other packages I think... BWidget, IWidgets and so on.
[06:32] <bluefox83> ok, how do i get ubuntu to cleanly unmount a nfs shared folder? i tried the whole sudo umount ip:/Shared thing and even removed the entry from /etc/mtab and it still says resource is busy
[06:32] <h4wk0> !xubuntu
[06:32] <ubotu> xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of Gnome. For more info, see http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop". | For support, see #xubuntu | See also: !ubuntu and !xubuntu-channels
[06:32] <nexous> ShackJack: okay and should I move my ttf to fonts:/// or /home/nexous/.fonts?
[06:32] <dabide_> how can i figure out which graphics  card i've got installed using xubuntu?
[06:32] <msingh> vox754, thanks! what about remote desktop?
[06:32] <h4wk0> FutureMarine; http://ubuntu-cdimage.datahop.it/xubuntu/releases/7.04/release/
[06:32] <ShackJack> nexous - not necessarily, but I'd put new fonts you add there, that way if you reinstall and your home dir is in separate partition, you get them all back :)
[06:33] <omar-linux> installare tls in ubuntu?per amsn
[06:33] <nexous> ShackJack: Alright.
[06:33] <ShackJack> nexous - Fonts installed from repos don't go in .fonts generally
[06:33] <ShackJack> nexous - and I find the Vista font Candara quite pretty for the OS :)
[06:33] <FutureMarine> thanks
[06:34] <dr_willis> I just found docs on installing the vista fonts under linux. :)
[06:34] <nexous> ShackJack: It's ProFont, I'm using it for programming, would the PCF Fonts be easier to install/
[06:34] <Rodel> Is it possible for me to open the source code for the programs already on my computer?
[06:34] <ShackJack> dr_willis - yep - drag 'em into your /home/yourdir/.fonts folder :) end of docs...
[06:34] <faileas> I'm having problems compiling the driver for the ralink RT51 wifi card http://pastebin.ca/514201 thats what i get. i was following the wiki and was using the latest source from the OEM
[06:35] <faileas> wondering if someone could tell me whats wrong
[06:35] <dr_willis> ShackJack,  you missed the point of 'getting the fonts' :)
[06:35] <vox754> msingh: I don't think it is included in the Live CD but most probably it is in the repositories, though I've never used it.
[06:35] <bluefox83> how do i find out what is accessing a shared directory?
[06:35] <jueqel> would using windows fonts cause PDF's to go garbled?
[06:35] <dr_willis> ShackJack,  had to get that powerpointviewer to get them in the first place and cab extract them
[06:35] <FutureMarine> so what is a OEM installation?
[06:35] <darknet7> can anyone help me with a question on installing a printer in xubuntu?
[06:35] <ShackJack> dr_willis - ah... Vista fonts are on Bittorrent :)
[06:35] <dr_willis> ShackJack,  no need to even use bittorrent :)
[06:35] <msingh> shame.. knoppix used to come with it.. was handy
[06:35] <dr_willis> ShackJack,  wonder if the way i did it was even legal. heh heh.
[06:36] <ShackJack> Rodel - in general proggies on your computer are already compiled, you need to get source code, then recompile...
[06:36] <Neil-> mplayer http_proxy://myproxy.something.com:8080/http://wm-acl.bbc.co.uk/wms/news/media_acl/mps/fix/news/world/video/96000/bb/96939_16x9_bb.wmv lets me watch an rtsp stream via command line, but the mplayer mozilla plugin cant connect
[06:36] <Neil-> any ideas
[06:36] <ShackJack>  dr_willis - legal schmegal - they're pretty - specially Candara !
[06:36] <dr_willis> ShackJack,  http://plasmasturm.org/log/457/   even has a script.
[06:36] <Me2resh> hi, is there any way i can convert .vob file to avi or mpeg, or even burn it on DVD disk on ubuntu ?
[06:36] <dr_willis> ShackJack,  trying candra now.. it seems to hace some odd.. characters heh
[06:36] <Rodel> Shackjack - So to find source code do i have to search around online?
[06:36] <luna7kiss> hi, my beryl kills my video. I cannot play any video when beryl is loading. I am thinking that it has something to do with the rendering path. What's the default one that ubuntu 7 uses?
[06:36] <dr_willis> ShackJack,  im too used to the old ones i guess
[06:36] <nexous> ShackJack: Would the PCF Fonts be easier to install/
[06:37] <abuzuke> i have just installed xubuntu and i have 3Com ethernet device but i cannot reach it so i cannot use my internet connection, what can i do?
[06:37] <ShackJack> Rodel - yes, ususally there is a link for it on the proggie website, or you can get it from the distros (usually has src in "program" name)
[06:37] <Me2resh> hi, is there any way i can convert .vob file to avi or mpeg, or even burn it on DVD disk on ubuntu ?
[06:37] <ShackJack> nexous - PCF, sorry not familiar - TTF isn't hard at all...
[06:37] <luna7kiss> hi, my beryl kills my video. I cannot play any video when beryl is loading. I am thinking that it has something to do with the rendering path. What's the default one that ubuntu 7 uses?
[06:37] <vox754> msingh: anyways, if you are doing some Tcl/Tk programming I suggest you ActiveTcl from Active State, a full featured distribution of Tcl with packages and documentation
[06:37] <bluefox83> luna7kiss, that's actually a rather common problem, depending on yoru card beryl can do anything from crash your video to just make it laggy...solution is to switch window managers inthe beryl manager before playing a movie...
[06:38] <nexous> ShackJack: I ended up moving to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msstcorefonts.
[06:38] <nexous> ShackJack: No luck.
[06:38] <pietro10> Hello again. I don't have xorg-reconfigure. I'll clarify my statement from eariler: X11 generates SIGSEGV (11) when loading
[06:38] <luna7kiss> bluefox83, i am on i810
[06:38] <ShackJack> nexous - no luck with what?
[06:38] <nexous> ShackJack: Even after running fc-cache.
[06:38] <msingh> vox754, nah i have some other dependencies that make things difficult (on say windows)
[06:38] <luna7kiss> luna7kiss, does ubuntu 7 use aiglx or xgl?
[06:38] <leagris> Me2resh, if these vob are from a DVD you made yourself you can use avidemux. Either way, decyphering DVD  may be outlawed in your country.
[06:38] <bluefox83> luna7kiss, that would be why, i810 has like 24 bits of onboard video memory..hardly any at all
[06:39] <luna7kiss> bluefox83, but my beryl does not lag at all
[06:39] <abuzuke> i have just installed xubuntu and i have 3Com ethernet device but i cannot reach it so i cannot use my internet connection, what can i do?
[06:39] <luna7kiss> bluefox83, in fact, it runs smoother than my friend's ati 9200
[06:39] <ShackJack> nexous - if your fonts are in that dir it should work... Not much more to it, really... You could add 	FontPath	"/home/mydir/.fonts" under the "Files" section of your xorg.conf, I suppose...
[06:39] <vox754> msingh: ActiveTcl is available for Windows and Linux. You code it once, and it mostly runs the same on both platforms.
[06:39] <dr_willis> abuzuke,  you are refering to a normal wired network card?
[06:39] <bluefox83> luna7kiss, beryl isn't exactly stable, it's still a work-in-progress..there are going to be some bugs
[06:40] <k31th> humm is AMD64 version of ubuntu just a PITA ? should i just run 32bit version if i want a nice easy life? seems getting firefox to work with amd64 is an ass?
[06:40] <Me2resh> leagris, it is not copyrighted, it is a dvd someone made for me, and i copied the .vob file only and need to burn it as dvd again - tell me more about avidemux please
[06:40] <luna7kiss> bluefox83, hmm ok
[06:40] <vox754> !flash64
[06:40] <ubotu> You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava
[06:40] <k31th> vox754: yeah i see that, but is that just the begining of my hell?
[06:41] <k31th> i mean im i going to get hell like this everyday? + is running amd64 going to be any faster?
[06:41] <vox754> k31th: yes. Also don't use words like a** here
[06:41] <k31th> ok
[06:41] <k31th> vox754: so it is going to be a pain?
[06:41] <leagris> Me2resh, if your intend is to burn it on DVD again, all you need to do is put these vob files in a directory VIDEO_TS and burn it to DVD. You may like to use k3b which has build in DVD project authoring and presets suitable for this.
[06:42] <msingh> whats the default root passwd for the livecd?
[06:42] <w1jrm> can anyone here tell me how to set up my Ubuntu to file share, I want to run my storage server with ubuntu but have to be able to share it with MS Windows platform PC
[06:42] <FutureMarine> it might be toor
[06:42] <leagris> msingh, livecd has no root password
[06:42] <msingh> then how do i go root?
[06:42] <vox754> k31th: yes, it is going to hurt. Unless you are doing some crazy programming numerical analysis to study molecules, stick to 32 bit.
[06:42] <dr_willis> sudo -s
[06:42] <leagris> msingh, sudo
[06:42] <w1jrm> Ubunutu PC will primary as a server for backups and storage
[06:43] <nexous> This is pissing me off, All I need is 1 single font installed and it's not working.
[06:43] <leagris> Using the live CD so will enable you to hack in any box you put it in :/
[06:43] <k31th> vox754: thanks man.
[06:43] <darknet7> Anyone with time to help with a question for installing printer?
[06:44] <msingh> hm there is no clisp package?
[06:44] <leagris> Especialy if the box is running linux. I recall this to admins so they lock bootcd, bios settings and these minimal prevention
[06:44] <weeder> hi, anyone have any idea how i can run su over ssh
[06:44] <FutureMarine> ok what the hell is the problem with this installation because everytime it has an error because there is no fd0 and then when I plug it in and start it in safe mode to install it it sits there with a blinking thing
[06:44] <Dreamkey> type 'su'
[06:45] <harry> is there a GUI frontend for gnuplot
[06:45] <weeder> su wont auth over ssh
[06:45] <secret> Hey guys!
[06:45] <Skreet> su won't auth in Ubuntu, by default.
[06:45] <Skreet> Did you set a root password?
[06:45] <Skreet> i.e. 'sudo passwd'
[06:45] <ShackJack> nexous - do you get preview of fonts in .fonts folder when browsing...
[06:45] <weeder> no but it works  wehn im at the machine just not over ssh
[06:45] <Jack_Sparrow> I saw a post that you could have an automatic logon in Ubuntu.  Is that for the new version or will Dapper do it as well?
[06:45] <Skreet> You can either do that, or 'sudo bash' to get a root shell.
[06:45] <FutureMarine> now I have a hdc device error
[06:46] <Skreet> weeder: Oh, that's strange.
[06:46] <Skreet> What version?
[06:46] <weeder> sudo bash worked
[06:46] <weeder> its 7.04
[06:46] <Skreet> Yeah, it's a slick workaround.
[06:46] <nub19> is there a better alternative for amarok? pos keeps on crashing
[06:46] <weeder> thanks
[06:46] <Skreet> My server is 6.04LTS, and su works over ssh, but it may be a su limit.. I'm not sure where the su configs are, check man su?
[06:46] <secret> Can someone tell me where the Temporary Internet Files are within Ubuntu? (Eqiv-windows: C:\Documents and Setttings\Joe Fruit\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files.
[06:46] <secret> ?
[06:47] <Skreet> secret: That's a good question, you can probably clear them from the browser...
[06:47] <leagris> FutureMarine, don't you have those onboard SATA controler with PATA emulated for CDROM there are no linux module to drive it?
[06:47] <nub19> is there a better alternative for amarok? it keeps on crashing
[06:47] <bluefox83> is there a way to compile something and make it into a .deb for easy installation?
[06:47] <dr_willis> secret,   in .firefox or .mozilla i belive
[06:47] <FutureMarine> What do I do?
[06:47] <Skreet> nub19: Better is a matter of persepective, you might check xmms, or beep-media-player.
[06:47] <secret> No, I want to keep them and copy the videos which stream onto my borwser..
[06:47] <secret> rowser
[06:47] <leagris> :debmake
[06:47] <Skreet> Neither are as feature-full.

[06:47] <bluefox83> O.o
[06:48] <nub19> want something with an autofill of the playlist
[06:48] <Skreet> 'Sorry, I don't know anything'.
[06:48] <Kjellviz> Skreet: sorry to jump in the middle, but not as feature full as what ?
[06:48] <Skreet> Kjellviz: Amarok.
[06:48] <Skreet> His original question was a replacement for amarok
[06:48] <Kjellviz> Skreet: aha
[06:48] <Neil-> Hey.. To get the Mozilla development files there are two options 1. mozilla-devel package (includes pkg-config files) 2. gecko-sdk .. Where do I get these?
[06:48] <Neil-> dont see either in the repos..
[06:48] <leagris> bluefox83, ther is a tutorial on making deb package somewhere on the ubuntu wiki.
[06:48] <Skreet> brb'
[06:48] <secret> Dr_willis: where do the cookies go?
[06:48] <Kjellviz> well amarok started once on my comp
[06:49] <dr_willis> secret,  in the same place somewhere.
[06:49] <ShackJack> nub19 - Exhaile is coming along nicely - good if you use GNOME, thought it doesn't seem to read WMA files...
[06:49] <Kjellviz> now it just doesent start ><
[06:49] <secret> where is that place?
[06:49] <nub19> i'm using fluxbox
[06:49] <nub19> exhaile works on it?
[06:49] <nub19> only have mp3s
[06:49] <r00tintheb0x> back, had to go to work and exchange tapes in the LTO3 drive
[06:49] <r00tintheb0x> :)
[06:49] <ShackJack> I dunno about fluxbox, but most WMS just load the extra libraries ot run the proggies (a la Amarok/KDE)
[06:49] <dr_willis> secret,  its ALL in the .mozilla dir. :)
[06:50] <secret> ok
[06:50] <bluefox83> leagris, having trouble finding it :(
[06:50] <Neil-> My INSTALL file says: To get the Mozilla development files there are two options 1. mozilla-devel package (includes pkg-config files) 2. gecko-sdk .. Where do I get these?
[06:50] <nub19> is there a site with all the shortcuts listed in linux?
[06:50] <ShackJack> "secret: Dr_willis: where do the cookies go?" - in my tummy! :)
[06:50] <dr_willis> nub19,  what shortcuts?
[06:50] <dr_willis> ShackJack,  im on a diet. :)
[06:50] <secret> Yeah lol, I thought I would recieve some sort of joke with that line :D
[06:50] <nub19> like what does alt+shift + f1 do
[06:51] <nub19> how to run an app directly
[06:51] <nub19> etc
[06:51] <abuzuke_> i have just installed ubuntu and i have a 3Com ethernet device but i cannot use internet connection?
[06:51] <Kjellviz> Skreet: where to find this Exhail ?
[06:51] <dr_willis> nub19,  id say check the gnome docs for that info. :) and the keybinding/shortcut perferance tool
[06:51] <robdeman> OOOPS!
[06:51] <dr_willis> nub19,  gnomes 'shortcut keys' are specific for ggnome - not 'linux' :)
[06:51] <robdeman> I did a chmod -R 0777 /home/rob/ --> now I have big problem slogging into Gnome?
[06:52] <ShackJack> Kjellviz - http://www.exaile.org
[06:52] <radioaktivstorm> hello! anyone know how to deal with a fussy linksys router? I have here an unsecured linksys router that allows access to the internet based on MAC address. i added mine to the list, and it works (occasionally) other times it does not assign me an ip. any pointers?
[06:52] <nub19> whats the equivalent of start - execute (windows) in fluxbox?
[06:52] <Kjellviz> ShackJack: ahhh thanks, i was misspelling it ><
[06:52] <ShackJack> Kjellviz - I spelld wrong - :(
[06:52] <robdeman> Gnome is bitching about $HOMR should no be writable by otehrs.. ~home/.dmrc... ??
[06:52] <abuzuke_> i also cant see that device on network configuration window
[06:52] <tessercat> Gnome is right.
[06:52] <ShackJack> Kjellviz - it's just starting but nice - aim to be a gtk alt to amarok...
[06:52] <abuzuke_> it only shows my dial-up modem
[06:53] <abuzuke_> anyone can help me to solve this problem
[06:53] <vegar__> How am I supposed to play movies from an SMB share with VLC or any other video player except Totem?
[06:53] <secret> Where do I find this folder with the Internet temp files? I've been looking for hours within the file system.
[06:53] <ShackJack> vegar__ - eh? shouldn't matter if you'r playing from a share or local file...
[06:54] <secret> mozilla.dir? nope
[06:54] <tessercat> secret: for your browser?
[06:54] <ShackJack> secret - yep /home/yourdir/.mozilla/
[06:54] <vegar__> when i'm browsing with nautilus the files are of type "smb://" which apparently requires all applications to implement the smb protocol
[06:54] <bulmer> abuzuke: what do you get when you type "nm-tool"
[06:55] <tessercat> whut ShackJack said
[06:55] <ShackJack> secret - then firefox and dfewefij.default, etc...
[06:55] <bluefox83> whats the link for the official ubuntu wiki?
[06:55] <benpi> hi everyone
[06:55] <vegar__> ShackJack: I agree.. it SHOULDN'T matter, but apparently it does
[06:55] <qiyong> on smp, why my top doesn't show all the cpus?
[06:55] <kbrooks> sorry to be offtopic
[06:55] <kbrooks> but
[06:55] <nub19> whats the shortcut to minimalize all windows?
[06:55] <benpi> I've hard kernel freezes (with untainted kernel, no binary drivers etc.),
[06:55] <ShackJack> vegar__ - in what way - you'll need to be more specific - Open With should do the trick...
[06:55] <leagris> bluefox83, http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/packagingguide/C/index.html
[06:56] <ShackJack> nub19 - add show desktop thingie to your panel...
[06:56] <tessercat> nub - you should have an icon on one of the panels
[06:56] <leagris> !packagingguide
[06:56] <ubotu> The packaging guide is at http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/packagingguide/C/index.html - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/New for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DeveloperResources - See also !backports
[06:56] <kbrooks> is there a rss to email svc on the internet
[06:56] <radioaktivstorm> nub19 ctrl alt d
[06:56] <benpi> ... and I don't know where to look at, any tip ?
[06:56] <shea_> anyone know offhand what happens when i click a panel launcher that points to a webpage?
[06:56] <Clarrisa_2008> why do I get the errors:  NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts
[06:56] <kbrooks> bc id like to get new rss stuff by email
[06:56] <shea_> what handles that, etc
[06:56] <ShackJack> tessercat - though he uses Fluxbox IIR...
[06:56] <abuzuke_> bulmer, it says nm-tool is not installed yet?
[06:56] <secret> Let's just assume I watch a video on Youtube ok? where is it downloaded to my computer?
[06:56] <shea_> because it's causing my system to freeze hard, strangely enough
[06:56] <secret> has to be somewhere there...
[06:56] <Clarrisa_2008> when I try to reload apache2,  Why do I get several lines that say: NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts
[06:56] <shea_> trying to find it in gnome docs
[06:56] <vegar__> ShackJack: try this: Places -> Network -> Find a host with content and try to play it back
[06:56] <leagris> bluefox83, all these docs belong to the developer seciont of the wiki
[06:56] <robdeman> anybody?
[06:56] <nub19> thanks radioaktivstorm ;)
[06:56] <bulmer> abuzuke: perhaps install it a part of network-manager tools
[06:57] <robdeman> I gave my home directort 0777 rights... now Gnome is al f'ed
[06:57] <radioaktivstorm> np nub19!
[06:57] <abuzuke_> bulmer, well how can i get that tool?
[06:57] <tessercat> nub - if there's no desktop icon, right click on a panel and "Add to Panel". There's a lot of stuff to fiddle with.
[06:57] <leagris> secret, video is streamed and not saved localy
[06:57] <nub19> i want a minimal startbar tessercat
[06:57] <secret> no, it's saved man, in windows I could go into my temp files and copy the file and keep it
[06:57] <bulmer> abuzuke: try  apt-get nnetwork-manger  perhaps..am not sure if thats the correct package name
[06:58] <secret> from youtube
[06:58] <Clarrisa_2008> when I try to reload apache2,  Why do I get several lines that say: NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts
[06:58] <leagris> secret, you may mangae to grab the url and I read about a tool for grabbing UT videos somewhere in multivers or universe
[06:58] <vegar__> ShackJack: Open with won't do the trick, because nautilus will tell vlc to open an smb://whatever file.. but vlc like many other applications don't implement the smb protocol
[06:58] <Funkah> Never done that on windows, Sec.
[06:58] <Taejo> bulmer: network-manager, not nnetwork-manger
[06:58] <secret> freeflashgrabber is stupid
[06:58] <abuzuke_> bulmer, well i don't have the internet connection
[06:58] <Funkah> Try flashgot.
[06:58] <Kjellviz> ShackJack: it seems to be nice enough indeed (but im a linux n00b, so gtk means nothing to me ^^ )
[06:58] <Funkah> That gets them fine.
[06:58] <bulmer> abuzuke: there per Taejo
[06:58] <Funkah> One Windows, at least..
[06:58] <bulmer> twas my fat fingers
[06:58] <emonkey> is on the normal live CD gparted installed?
[06:58] <shea_> secret: it'd be in ~/.mozilla/firefox/<yourprofile>/cache
[06:58] <secret> flashgot is gay
[06:58] <shea_> prolly
[06:58] <secret> thanks
[06:59] <shea_> Cache even
[06:59] <Rodel> Does anyone know of a place that has the source code for Gnome Games?
[06:59] <abuzuke_> bulmer , ?
[06:59] <shea_> but don't expect to be able to just see it like a regular file
[06:59] <shea_> :P
[06:59] <ShackJack> vegar__ - maybe open app then and pick the file?
[06:59] <radioaktivstorm> nub19, if you dont like that shortcut, can always change it under system>preferences>keyboard shortcuts under gnome
[06:59] <wolfeySI> hello guys.. i read a lot on internet about xorg and toshiba portage r100 with trident card... seems lots of us have problems with very small resolution when using battery power. switching to console and back to X helps, but isnt there a better way?
[06:59] <ShackJack> Kjellviz - you mean Exaile?
[06:59] <emonkey> ntfs resizing on installing with the live CD should be no problem?
[06:59] <shea_> secret: there's an extension called UnPlug which does okay.
[06:59] <Kjellviz> ShackJack: yap
[07:00] <vegar__> ShackJack: and how am I supposed to find the network share through the open file dialog?
[07:00] <ShackJack> Kjellviz - gtk is the "widgets" and other support stuff used to make GUI for GNOME...
[07:00] <leagris> secret, the tool to download yt videos is youtube-dl
[07:00] <secret> ~/.mozilla/firefox/<yourprofile>/cache what do I do with this? run in a terminal?
[07:00] <bulmer> abuzuke: try  apt-get network-manger  perhaps..am not sure if thats the correct package name
[07:00] <secret> <-- new to linux
[07:00] <faileas> I'm having problems compiling the driver for the ralink RT51 wifi card http://pastebin.ca/514201 thats what i get. i was following the wiki and was using the latest source from the OEM followed instructions from the wiki as well as the readme. anyone have any ideas?
[07:00] <leagris> secret, install youtube-dl
[07:00] <ejack> I am pretty sure that my wireless card is shot and is causing Ubuntu to crash when it tries to load the driver for it. How do I stop the driver for a specific device from loading? (Basically just disabling the device)
[07:01] <tesser> rodel - there's probably info on gnome.org. I'd say the best way to get the source would be to use whatever version control system gnome uses.
[07:01] <Frogzoo> vegar__: smb://hostname/directory    will do it
[07:01] <DanaG> oh hey, does XFCE have a way to browse network folders like gnomevfs does?
[07:01] <shea_> raiding an app's local cache is probably less desirable
[07:01] <bluefox83> it shouldn't be this hard to figure out how to create a .deb when compiling something from source D:
[07:01] <DanaG> I want to edit things over ssh.
[07:01] <Kjellviz> ShackJack: so u ment that Exaile aim to become the "official" mediaplayer for gnome ?
[07:01] <ShackJack> vegar__ - When I open totem.. .it just shows my "Places"... or you can type in network:/// manually...
[07:01] <secret> this is like, woah man.
[07:01] <faileas> hmm
[07:01] <faileas> wait
[07:01] <secret> linux is so intriguing, yet difficult
[07:01] <vegar__> You guys fail to understand that most applications DO NOT implement the SMB Protocol... if they get a smb:// type url.. they won't know what to do with it
[07:01] <faileas> where does ubuntu keep its kenel headers if installed?
[07:01] <ShackJack> Kjellviz - well not "official" - that's Rhythbox... but me no likey Rythmbox
[07:02] <DanaG> s/SMB/gnome-vfs
[07:02] <bluefox83> secret, it's not as difficult as it looks, just play with stuff and you'll figure it out :)
[07:02] <shea_> secret: well, er, it's a directory.  replace <yourprofile> with some profile you find in ~/.mozilla/firefox/
[07:02] <DanaG> or kioslaves.
[07:02] <vegar__> and Totems SMB implementation is crappy to say the least
[07:02] <shea_> and go there with nautilus or a term
[07:02] <ShackJack> Kjellviz - but it uses the GTK "widgets" vs. amarok using KDE libraires (which is why amarok takes longer to load generally)
[07:02] <tesser> secret some of the people who designed it experimented with hallucinogens :D
[07:02] <shea_> but firefox doesn't keep its cache as regular filenames
[07:02] <Frogzoo> vegar__: nautilus is quite happy with smb://
[07:02] <vegar__> Frogzoo: yes but every other app is not
[07:02] <tesser> maybe not linus
[07:03] <shea_> it renames the files into some hash of the data
[07:03] <DanaG> It's gnomevfs-aware.
[07:03] <shea_> it looks like
[07:03] <vegar__> try for instance opening a media file in vlc from nautilus... nautilus will give the application an smb:// type url and it won't know what to do
[07:03] <secret> :) ok but they need to fix it and make a simple "Internet Temporary Files Including the video you just watch secret" directory.
[07:03] <ShackJack> vegar__ - when I type network:/// in the location bar to open file I get my SMB network..
[07:03] <shea_> you can go there with a terminal, and then type 'file *'
[07:03] <nub19> what are new cool programs to apt-get these days?
[07:03] <DanaG> But is there a way to do that in xfce?
[07:03] <shea_> file is a program that tells you what is in a file
[07:03] <diablos_raven> can anyone help with wine
[07:03] <shea_> it'll identify everything in Cache/
[07:03] <shea_> secret: heh, that'd be a bit odd :)
[07:03] <Frogzoo> vegar__: other mounts should have loopbacks, but anyhow
[07:04] <wolfeySI> hello guys.. i read a lot on internet about xorg and toshiba portage r100 with trident card... seems lots of us have problems with very small resolution when using battery power. switching to console and back to X helps, but isnt there a better way?
[07:04] <Kjellviz> ShackJack: aha, ok thanks for explaining, and no i dint fancy rhytmbox either :P
[07:04] <secret> it would work though eh?
[07:04] <secret> then I would know where it is
[07:04] <shea_> it'd be a pretty user-specific thing, probably better to do it via extension
[07:04] <ShackJack> Kjellviz - I like amarok, but because it's based on KDE libraries (QT4) it's got some quirks when running under GNOME
[07:04] <Kjellviz> ShackJack: the only thing i miss from windows right now is video on skype, and a really good AND nice looking media player
[07:05] <vegar__> The problem is when you try to open files from a network share using Nautilus, Nautilus will give the application opening it an smb:// type url.. and that will in most cases not work since most applications do not implement smb
[07:05] <Kjellviz> ShackJack: like not starting at all ? :P  cos it doesent start at my comp ><
[07:05] <ShackJack> Kjellviz - Yeah WMP11 is actually pretty nice - there is SKype on linux but I dunno about video...
[07:05] <Kjellviz> from what ive heard it doesent support video
[07:05] <tesser> wolfeySI - so is that a video driver problem?
[07:05] <ShackJack> Kjellviz - no it starts maybe you'r missing some libraries from KDE
[07:05] <DanaG> s/SMB/gnomevfs/ again
[07:06] <Kjellviz> ShackJack: not only was WMP11 pretty nice, but so is winamp imo
[07:06] <astomper> How do I find the IP address of my networked printer?
[07:06] <wolfeySI> tesser: it seems os
[07:06] <wolfeySI> so
[07:06] <Kjellviz> ShackJack: it started once, then crashed, and hasent started since
[07:06] <wolfeySI> tesser: it's a known bug it semes
[07:06] <wolfeySI> seems
[07:06] <ShackJack> Kjellviz - I'd try sudo aptitude remove --purge amarok and then sudo aptitude install amarok and should install on dependecie for ya..
[07:06] <secret> In windows, you just type in %temp% in a run command, and there you have it-afolder full of videos, cookies and everything else you've viewed on the net. However, windows was annoying with its "Windows has detected a problem and needs to close the program"...
[07:06] <diablos_raven> does anyone know anything about wine
[07:07] <DanaG> The app has to support gnome-vfs, not SMB directly.
[07:07] <ShackJack> diablos_raven - just ask question ;)
[07:07] <tesser> wolfeySI - I would submit a bug report to whoever is responsible for your video driver. I've noticed some stuff with the nvidia ones I was thinking of submitting.
[07:07] <PriceChild> diablos_raven, try asking the question... or join #winehq
[07:07] <tich> i am trying to resize a partition, right now it is 15gb and i have 30 gb allotted but i can't make seem to make the 15gb partition bigger only smaller.  how would i do this?
[07:08] <ericamarias> oi
[07:08] <diablos_raven> i have installed a game with wine and it loads just fine but the graphics crap out on me
[07:08] <shea_> secret: yes, that's the temporary cache.  firefox uses its own temporary cache, and renames all the files as hashes, probably for faster lookup.
[07:08] <aa_> so I installed a window manager, can I add it to the sessions on choice for gdm?
[07:08] <Kjellviz> ShackJack: im trying a reinstall from synaptic pkm
[07:08] <leagris> diablos_raven, wine is good for health in low amount. It may ruine your liver if abused ;D
[07:08] <limecat> is there a simple way to unmount the /home partition?
[07:08] <ericamarias>  :) alguem do brasil?
[07:08] <PriceChild> diablos_raven, checked winehq's app database?
[07:08] <DanaG> My nvidia driver sometimes will go *BLINK*......................*BLINK*........................*BLINK*.................
[07:08] <diablos_raven> its in the apps database
[07:08] <shea_> secret: really, the fact that it's convenient to run %temp% and get all your recently viewed stuff is a side-effect of how windows caches stuff.  it's got a lot of problems.  a better solution is to install something that specifically gets that cache for you.
[07:08] <DanaG> it's quite horribly annoying -- and it makes it impossible to continue working.
[07:08] <ShackJack> Kjellviz - O.K. - I wouuld do "completely remove" then install...
[07:08] <tesser> wolfeySI usually submitting a bug just means giving someone an email address.
[07:09] <t3h0n3> Hail thy Ubuntu
[07:09] <secret> ok, good idea.
[07:09] <shea_> secret: but it would be nice sometimes.  there is probably a way to get the filenames back from firefox, but i dunno how :)
[07:09] <ShackJack> Kjellviz - and depending on how you "left it" amarok sometimes starts but only shows as tray icon...
[07:09] <morpheus74> I'm running Ubuntu 6.10, and installed the Kmymoney application.  When the application installed, a bunch of K libraries were installed too, but when I try to remove Kmymoney using synaptic and selecting "complete removal", only the Kmymoney application is selected for removal.  How can I remove all the packages that were installed with Kmymoney?
[07:09] <diablos_raven> i checked the database first before i installed and i can hear the game but it gives me a black screen
[07:09] <Kjellviz> ShackJack: ye seems i need to.... (btw know of a good "norton commander" type of file browser?)
[07:09] <leagris> kj0ttdeig, mc
[07:09] <ShackJack> Kjellviz - like midnight commander?
[07:09] <secret> Woah, I never knew females used linux -howcool!
[07:09] <DanaG> Cool app: EtherApe.
[07:09] <shea_> oh
[07:10] <secret> in a non-descriminating way
[07:10] <shea_> secret: hey found it.
[07:10] <limecat> Im trying to resize my /home partition up by 19GB, and need to unmount it.  Ive shut down GDM (sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop) and left the /home directory, but it wont let me umount it. Any ideas?
[07:10] <scar> ANYONE: how do i minimize my konversation, (or if not this client, which client should i use to do this), in order to minimize it to the taskbar ??? as w/gaim or w/e
[07:10] <shea_> secret: in firefox, go to about:cache in your address bar
[07:10] <secret> where?
[07:10] <Kjellviz> ShackJack: theres no icon in systray for amarok, yes like midnight, is it avail for linux ?
[07:10] <shea_> and click 'list cache entries'
[07:10] <Kjellviz> ShackJack: was using total commander on windows
[07:10] <leagris> secret, here I am if you count females using linux :)
[07:10] <secret> LOLOLOL
[07:11] <ShackJack>  Kjellviz - there's something like that for Command line, and I think a GTK equivilent...
[07:11] <secret> where's the catch in the address bar?
[07:11] <Deathshead> hi there everyone, i Cannot get ubuntu to see my windows shared folder, can anyone gimme a hand?
[07:11] <shea_> ?
[07:11] <shea_> type 'about:cache'
[07:11] <Q_Continuum> ZOMG - womens on Teh Internets? Can't happen! http://www.bnac.biz/images/im%20in%20ur%20base%20nerding%20it%20up.jpg
[07:11] <DanaG> Oh, how can I get gnome-settings-daemon not to use the ugly large transparent volume icon?
[07:11] <Kjellviz> ShackJack: found to in add/remove apps; gnome commander and krusader
[07:11] <ShackJack>  Kjellviz - sudo aptitude search commander
[07:12] <leagris> Q_Continuum, here I am http://www.noiraude.net/ :)
[07:12] <ShackJack> http://www.nongnu.org/gcmd/
[07:12] <scar> Deathshead: did u mount it?
[07:12] <secret> shea where, sorry?
[07:12] <Deathshead> Scar, i tried too, but it times out, been trying with nautilus too but it just dosnt see it.
[07:12] <morpheus74> I'm running Ubuntu 6.10, and installed the Kmymoney application.  When the application installed, a bunch of K libraries were installed too, but when I try to remove Kmymoney using synaptic and selecting "complete removal", only the Kmymoney application is selected for removal.  How can I remove all the packages that were installed with Kmymoney?
[07:12] <kj0ttdeig> i assume you meant Kjellviz, leagris?
[07:12] <Deathshead> been at it for 6 hours now.
[07:12] <shea_> like you're going to a webpage
[07:12] <p1ls> im lookin for a good fluxbox file manager
[07:12] <scar> Deathshead: what is the exact cmd u used
[07:12] <shea_> instead of 'http://blah.butt.com' type 'about:cache'
[07:12] <secret> yes
[07:12] <secret> and type catch?
[07:13] <scar> Deathshead: i had a huge prob last night, and found a way lol
[07:13] <secret> k
[07:13] <shea_> cache not catch
[07:13] <tesser> morph try "mark for complete removal" right click option in synaptec
[07:13] <Deathshead> scar what did ya do?
[07:13] <scar> Deathshead: what is the exact cmd u used
[07:13] <Deathshead> lemme find it,....
[07:13] <Kjellviz> ShackJack: hehe your stuck on using terminal for installing ? =P  i prefer gui =P
[07:14] <ShackJack> Kjellviz - sometimes GUI is more handy - for example, I don't have to open synaptic just to search for packages...
[07:14] <scar> Kjellviz: how do i minimize my irc client to taskbar
[07:14] <ShackJack> Kjellviz - plus easier to give instructions, rather than open window X, click tab Y, etc...
[07:14] <limecat> does ANYONE know how to mount the /home partition?
[07:14] <ShackJack> Kjellviz - do not fear the command line! ;)
[07:14] <Deathshead> sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=myusername //o.o.o.o.o sharename /mnt/files
[07:14] <Kjellviz> scar: no idea, guess that depends on what irc client you are using, im using opera
[07:15] <scar> Kjellviz: opera irc client? does it allow u to do that?
[07:15] <scar> im using konversation cuz it came w/it
[07:15] <leagris> scar, you may want xchat-gnome so you can have it hiden and iconed on the toolbar
[07:15] <ShackJack> scar - no minimize button on your IRXC winders ;)
[07:15] <dekc> hi can someone help me install my geforce?
[07:15] <Kjellviz> ShackJack: hehe im not agraid of the terminal, i just prefer guis, its easier on the eyes :P
[07:15] <radioaktivstorm> anyone know how to deal with a fussy linksys router? I have here an unsecured linksys router that allows access to the internet based on MAC address. i added mine to the list, and it works (occasionally) other times it does not assign me an ip. any pointers?
[07:15] <ShackJack> leagris: scar - you can hide GAIM buddy list, but not indiv chat windows to tray...
[07:15] <scar> Deathshead: just try loggin in as sudo
[07:16] <scar> ShackJack: yeah i know
[07:16] <scar> ShackJack: i cant figure it out
[07:16] <scar> ShackJack: on irc
[07:16] <Deathshead> how do i do that?
[07:16] <scar> Deathshead: type su and hit enter
[07:16] <akyra> halo
[07:16] <Deathshead> k
[07:16] <ShackJack> Kjellviz - here type this in sudo rm / -r ;)
[07:16] <scar> Deathshead: should ask for a pw if u havnt set one alredy
[07:16] <limecat> radioaktstorm: why are you using mac filtering?
[07:16] <DanaG> One odd thing about my Netgear router:
[07:16] <Kjellviz> scar: yes and no, you cannot minimize only the irc chat to systray, but the whole browser
[07:16] <ShackJack> Kjellviz - just kidding - dont do it!
[07:16] <scar> Deathshead: wait im sorry
[07:16] <bokey> ShackJack, no
[07:16] <DanaG> It gives me an ip address with the lease time set to 30 YEARS.
[07:16] <limecat> you ARE aware that that is an incredibly minor deterrent?
[07:16] <scar> Deathshead: type sudo passwd
[07:16] <secret> hahaha there it is lolz your so cool shea..
[07:16] <bokey> Kjellviz, no!
[07:17] <DanaG> Thus, if I don't release it, next time I come back I don't get an IP.
[07:17] <scar> Deathshead: then enter ur pw, and then type su and hit enter, then enter ur pw agai nto login as root
[07:17] <shea_> yay
[07:17] <ShackJack> bokey - he knows I'm kiddin :)
[07:17] <Deathshead> got it
[07:17] <dekc> how can i install my nvidia geforce?
[07:17] <tesser> radio - update your firmware? maybe that's fixed and you just need to update.
[07:17] <akyra> what torrent client should i use? (I tried bittorrent and azureus: i don't like them)
[07:17] <Deathshead> im in
[07:17] <Kjellviz> hehe chill im not removing root ><
[07:17] <DanaG> Well, if nobody's given it back, then somebody must have it.  I know, let's ask who has it!
[07:17] <ShackJack> brb
[07:17] <bokey> ShackJack, idiot! that will wipe his / partition
[07:17] <TehRealNexGen> dekc: you mean drivers?
[07:17] <scar> Deathshead: u have ntfs?
[07:17] <DanaG> (even though I have it set to give that IP only to ME, by MAC address.)
[07:17] <dekc> yes
[07:17] <Kjellviz> bokey: he said he was kidding ^^
[07:18] <Deathshead> yep, again,i just need to assess files on my xp shared folders..
[07:18] <secret> no your not, how do we save them?
[07:18] <scar> ok
[07:18] <scar> now
[07:18] <Kjellviz> but indeed a dangerous thing to jokw about :P
[07:18] <secret> =(
[07:18] <scar> type
[07:18] <zbrown> Is there any performance loss in a kernel thats SMP on a system thats not SMP?
[07:18] <secret> your cool anyhow
[07:18] <bokey> Kjellviz, yes. I did that a year ago and I got banned for it
[07:18] <scar> Deathshead: mount /your/drive/to/be/mounted /virtual/folder -t ntfs -o umask=0002
[07:18] <DanaG> 'rm /' is NOT something to joke about!
[07:18] <assasukasse> hi, is ip-forwarding active on ubuntu kernel?
[07:18] <Kjellviz> had mass fun during the 90s writing "yo guys hit alt-f4 for free porn" on irc ^
[07:19] <akyra> what torrent client should i use? (I tried bittorrent and azureus: i don't like them)
[07:19] <scar> Kjellviz: bahaha
[07:19] <astomper> How do I find the IP address of my networked printer?
[07:19] <Deathshead> k scar..
[07:19] <diablos_raven> any ideas
[07:19] <Kjellviz> bokey: ye can see why that can lead to punishment hehe
[07:19] <bokey> Kjellviz, yeah
[07:19] <Fuzz> hey don't suppose anyone can help me, i was upgrading to Feisty when we had a power cut and it no longer boots
[07:20] <scar> Fuzz: im having same prob kinda
[07:20] <limecat> astomper: you could try pinging your entire network, or doing a portscan for port 9100
[07:20] <bulmer> astomper: your printer is next to you?
[07:20] <scar> Fuzz: at leastr was
[07:20] <Frogzoo> Fuzz: clean install
[07:20] <Deathshead> so it would be like mount /mshome/computer name/mp3?
[07:20] <leagris> ShackJack, faster in typing sudo `mount | grep "on / " | awk '{ printf "dd if=/dev/zero of=%s\n",$1 };`
[07:20] <guncha> hello
[07:20] <scar> bulmer: ihave my printer, its wireless to my router and my comp is connected to my router directly... probs with printing?
[07:20] <silent_> would it help wine if I copied a whole system32 folder from a windows install?
[07:20] <morpheus74> How can I remove the k packages that were installed on my Ubuntu machine?
[07:21] <secret> akyra: Utorrent is the best = and demoniod for your torrent. Do you've membership?
[07:21] <Frogzoo> silent_: nope, you will break wine for sure
[07:21] <silent_> morpheus, use synaptic
[07:21] <secret> I have code if you need it.
[07:21] <dekc> where do i get the drivers for nvidia?
[07:21] <scar> Deathshead: ???
[07:21] <akyra> secret: no i haven't
[07:21] <TehRealNexGen> dekc: use synaptic and install nvidia glx
[07:21] <silent_> Frog, just install the ones that are needed?
[07:21] <astomper> bulmer: yes
[07:21] <silent_> dekc, what video card?
[07:21] <limecat> Shouldnt he enable the restricted drivers?
[07:21] <bulmer> scar you can view the configs of your rotuer via its web page? then see what ip addresses it doled out
[07:21] <Kjellviz> ohh noooo, utorrent doesent support linux ? /cry
[07:21] <akyra> secret: i knew utorrent was only for windows
[07:21] <Frogzoo> silent_: you shouldn't need any mostly
[07:21] <Deathshead> scar the command, unsure on the format.. of the folder.
[07:21] <Frogzoo> !appdb | secret
[07:21] <ipx> Is there a networktool that can see how stable the internet has been?
[07:21] <ubotu> secret: Appdb is a database of apps & help for programs that run under wine: see http://appdb.winehq.org
[07:21] <dekc> nvidia geforce MX 4000
[07:21] <dekc> 128MB
[07:21] <ipx> I want it all logged, since my fucking isp is fucking shitting me
[07:21] <scar> bulmer: once i know it, what do i do then
[07:21] <bulmer> astomper: does it have a panel to check the configs?
[07:21] <astomper> limecat ok
[07:22] <PriceChild> !ohmy | ipx
[07:22] <ubotu> ipx: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[07:22] <morpheus74> silent_, the problem is, I don't know what the k packages are.  I installed kmymony and a bunch of k libraries were also installed.
[07:22] <Frogzoo> ipx: ifconfig ?
[07:22] <astomper> yes it does bulmer
[07:22] <limecat> from my understanding, using restricted driver manager > apt-get install nvidia-glx
[07:22] <r00tintheb0x> anyone know where to score a list of good repos?
[07:22] <silent_> do you use Kde?
[07:22] <nitro4ce> how do i change the wm? using gnome
[07:22] <ipx> Frogzoo: I want to monitor it
[07:22] <PriceChild> ipx, "stable" is a relative term
[07:22] <phatmonkey> how can i access the network shares i've mounted under places from the shell without mounting them again in a real location?
[07:22] <secret> Ok mybad, sorry just installed linux yesterday and keep forgetting about the differences between this and windows.
[07:22] <bulmer> scar: what do you want to do with your printer?
[07:22] <ipx> Frogzoo: like, go to bed and then come back and see how my internet access have been tonight
[07:22] <ipx> Frogzoo: it goes down once every 1-2hours for about 1 min
[07:22] <bulmer> astomper: then use the control panel to check the configs and find out what ip address it has
[07:22] <dekc> but if i install nvidia-glx X would not start
[07:22] <secret> so maybe can't use utorrent for linux, bittorrent is good.
[07:22] <ipx> Frogzoo: im getting frustrated since i get disconnected frmo every single dota i play
[07:22] <leagris> ipx, what kind of connexion do you use?
[07:22] <silent_> ipx, you want a frontend for the firewall?
[07:22] <morpheus74> silent_, no, I use gnome
[07:23] <ipx> leagris: adsl
[07:23] <tesser> ipx leave ping running on some server
[07:23] <astomper> bulmer, very easy, glad you guys are so cool.
[07:23] <tesser> dos it
[07:23] <darwin81> Is their a cooler looking frontend for Mplayer than gmplayer?
[07:23] <leagris> ipx, do you ppp over your linux box or ethernet behind a router box or bridge ?
[07:23] <DanaG> You can always Wine Torrent.
[07:23] <silent_> morpheus, then search for kde and remove it
[07:23] <ipx> leagris: router
[07:23] <TehRealNexGen> dekc: er i dont exaclty know what you want, do you want restricted drivers?
[07:23] <limecat> please, does ANYONE know how to unmount the /home directory?  Im in init 3, and out of the home directory, but i need to umount it, and it keeps giving me "device is busy"
[07:23] <ipx> leagris: a hardware router (linksys wrt54gl)
[07:23] <dekc> i want to enable 3d acceleration
[07:24] <silent_> dekc, what video card?
[07:24] <bulmer> limecat: on ubuntu you have to go to level one  2-5 is the same
[07:24] <dekc> nvidia geforce MX 4000
[07:24] <Frogzoo> ipx: change your lcp-echo-failure in /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider
[07:24] <silent_> ok
[07:24] <bobsumone> hi, im trying to access swat from the command line on Ubuntu Server (Feisty)
[07:24] <leagris> ipx, only the router box can monitor the wan link status. But you still be able to ping a stable host on the ned at intervals from your box
[07:24] <bulmer> astomper: okay good luck
[07:24] <limecat> bulmer:  init 3 runs graphical?
[07:24] <silent_> go into synaptic and install nvidia-glx
[07:24] <Kjellviz> man.... gotta love commanders <3
[07:24] <bobsumone> it does nothing as far as i can tell
[07:24] <limecat> thanks, tho, ill try that
[07:24] <dekc> but if i install nvidia-glx from synaptic X would not start
[07:24] <bulmer> limecat: 2-5 last time i checked on mine
[07:24] <limecat> brb
[07:24] <TehRealNexGen> silent_;already said that
[07:24] <AreYouForReal> I need help with setting up a linksys WUSB54GC wireless adapter on ubuntu. I am using a guide on the ubuntu site, but am stuck at a step... pm me if you can help, thanks!
[07:24] <kkerwin> Hi, anyone know of software for linux to make use of the fancy stylus feature on some convertible laptops?
[07:24] <limecat> bulmer: hmmmm, ok
[07:24] <silent_> dekc, did you edit xorg.conf to set Driver = nvidia?
[07:24] <astomper> bulmer: thx
[07:24] <Fuzz> Frogzoo: hard to keep track here i was upgrading from dapper
[07:24] <Frogzoo> limecat: default runlevel is 2 - which runs the gui - there is no text only runlevel
[07:25] <bulmer> limecat: 2-5 last time i checked on mine are the same*
[07:25] <kittyhawk> hi
[07:25] <silent_> dekc, make sure you install the restricted packages too
[07:25] <dekc> i tried with nvidia and nv but nothing
[07:25] <Deathshead> i just wish this stupid share folder would show up in nautilus.,.. jeez.
[07:25] <radioaktivstorm> limecat....my brothers computer gets kicked when i use when i use the WEP or WPA
[07:25] <silent_> dekc, try uninstalling nvidia-glx and installing nvidia-glx-new
[07:25] <tesser> ipx maybe ping the router too to make sure the problem isn't between you and the router.
[07:25] <Frogzoo> Fuzz: let me guess, your /home is on the same partition as the linux install?
[07:26] <leagris> ipx, if not too dumb, your router has a log feature you can brows. If more clever it has snmp probing but these are only on professionnal grade equiupments.
[07:26] <kittyhawk> my USB mouse is having trouble - every few seconds it seems to "get stuck".  running dmesg shows that it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting
[07:26] <Fuzz> Frogzoo: yeah
[07:26] <ipx> tesser: it isnt :) I've tried during a downtime
[07:26] <kittyhawk> anyone have any ideas as to what I could do about that?
[07:26] <panzor> kittyhawk, is your USB port working?
[07:26] <tesser> ipx cool
[07:26] <dekc> well i tried to download the .run file on nvidia site
[07:26] <silent_> dont use that
[07:26] <Eposig> hi
[07:26] <Frogzoo> Fuzz: you're gonna have to boot a live cd & move your /home somewhere else, like to a new partition
[07:26] <ipx> leagris: Im using a custom firmware on it so maybe it does. Gonna check it out! :)
[07:26] <bobsumone> hi, im trying to access swat from the command line on Ubuntu Server (Feisty)
[07:26] <Deathshead> whats an easy way to see if my ubuntu box even sees my xp box?
[07:26] <bobsumone> it does nothing as far as i can tell
[07:26] <tesser> ipx simplest thing to do is start pinging some server at a low rate
[07:26] <Frogzoo> Fuzz: then do a fresh install
[07:26] <h4wk0> Right guys, im reinstalling my ubuntu, so i can have a seperate /home partion
[07:26] <dekc> but the download doesn't start it just show me a text file
[07:26] <silent_> well.. you might have to use parts of that installer, but not the whole thing
[07:26] <panzor> kittyhawk: is your USB port working?
[07:27] <h4wk0> What do you recommend i partion it to
[07:27] <silent_> it conflicts with the package manager
[07:27] <Fuzz> Frogzoo: i can do that, was just wondering if tehre was anyway to rescue it?
[07:27] <ipx> tesser: okok :) That's my alternative!
[07:27] <AreYouForReal> having problems setting up a WUSB54GC wireless adapter on vers. 7.04, can anyone help? i am trying out linux for the 1sttime.
[07:27] <kittyhawk> panzor: I tried a different port; same problem
[07:27] <bluefox83> does anyone know an *easy* way to create a .deb file out of source?
[07:27] <Frogzoo> Fuzz: not really possible to help from this end - a failed upgrade might/might not be fixable, but not from here
[07:27] <panzor> kittyhawk: have you tried using another mouse and see if that works?
[07:27] <wolfeySI> hello what can i do if i have same bug as https://launchpad.net/ubunthu/+bug/76120
[07:27] <Fuzz> Frogzoo: ok thanks
[07:27] <silent_> dekc, do a sudo apt-get update || sudo apt-get upgrade
[07:28] <kittyhawk> no, I suppose that's a good idea.  I'll see if I have an old one.
[07:28] <panzor> kittyhawk: okay
[07:28] <bobsumone> is there even a ubuntu server user in here?
[07:28] <silent_> and make sure you have those restricted packages installed via synaptic
[07:28] <snook> !wireless | AreYouForReal

[07:29] <AreYouForReal> yea, i tried that ubotu, i am stuck at a step that doesnt seem to be working for me
[07:29] <bluefox83> !debmake
[07:29] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about debmake - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:29] <bluefox83> dangit
[07:29] <silent_> isnt ubotu a bot?
[07:29] <akyra> i need a torrent client :(
[07:29] <bluefox83> tes
[07:29] <dekc> i have installed nvidia binary X.org driver
[07:30] <dekc> then "sudo nvidia-glx-config enable"
[07:30] <snook> AreYouForReal, when the native driver doesn't work-out, use ndiswrapper if you don't need WPA, just use WEP
[07:30] <kittyhawk> panzor: I don't have one, but you think it's probably a hardware problem?  Maybe I'll just go buy a new mouse
[07:30] <bluefox83> akyra, qbittorrent is nice...
[07:30] <dekc> and X crashes
[07:30] <leagris> ipx, most DSL line flapping is due to extreme or non suitable environment. Over attenuated line due to length, noise due to oxydizations on some joints, failure, misplacement of POTS/DSL filters. You realy should check the DSL part. Your router may list tracs of Field Error Correction FEC, Header Error Correction HEC, Attenuation remote DSLAM and near end RotuerModem, Signal to noise SNR fahr en near...
[07:30] <bokey> Kjellviz, no idea
[07:30] <kkerwin> Anyone know of any software for linux that supports tablet pc operation?
[07:30] <akyra> thank bluefox83
[07:30] <panzor> kittyhawk: if your other USB stuff is working, that's what I'd bet on
[07:30] <Kjellviz> bokey: ok
[07:30] <silent_> dekc, go into synaptic and search nvidia. look for restricted modules
[07:30] <kittyhawk> thanks
[07:30] <AreYouForReal> snook, i am using 64-bit version, and linsys hasnt come out with 64-bit drivers, or so ive read, so i cant use ndiswrapper
[07:31] <dekc> i have only this 2 NVidia binary X.Org 'legacy' driver||||||||NVidia binary X.Org driver
[07:31] <snook> oh, that's over my head, sorry AreYouForReal
[07:31] <panzor> you're welcome
[07:31] <akyra> ehm, it's qt. I'm a gnome user. Something in gtk?
[07:31] <AreYouForReal> np
[07:31] <ipx> leagris: right. :) I just got a new el-adapter from my ISP for my modem to swap it with the old one (The old one wasn't any good and could cause it to crash or something) so i swapped it
[07:31] <Frogzoo> akyra: azureus works well
[07:31] <ipx> leagris: may have been since then
[07:31] <kittyhawk> now another question: I'm getting periodic hard-lockups, maybe once an hour or two
[07:31] <ipx> leagris: that's why i want to monitor yt
[07:31] <ipx> leagris: so i can test out both
[07:31] <silent_> dekc, are you running fiesty?
[07:31] <tesser> dekc: did you try installing the nvidia drivers using the Restricted Drivers Manager?
[07:31] <panzor> akyra: I've had problems with azureus, I use bittornado
[07:32] <kittyhawk> I have no idea how to troubleshoot them
[07:32] <leagris> ipx, the most usefull data your router can report are from the ATM line status
[07:32] <dekc> i installed with adept i have kubuntu 7.04
[07:32] <silent_> dekc, in synaptic > settomgs > repositories
[07:32] <silent_> enable restricted
[07:32] <ipx> leagris: These words make no sense to me anyways. I think I've found a way to log from the router now, hope it works..
[07:32] <forum2006> hey anyone have a good howto to get trac and lighttpd working?
[07:33] <bobsumone>  anyone in here using ubuntu server?
[07:33] <silent_> bob, I've used a debian server before
[07:33] <ipx> leagris: I found snmp now
[07:33] <leagris> ipx, DSL work ofer an ATM line. Synchronization loss, data cell errors increment counters your router can list about the ATM line.
[07:33] <Kjellviz> krusader is giving me an error; "cannot talk to klauncher", how can i remedy this ?
[07:34] <silent_> isntall gnome
[07:34] <leagris> ipx, these counters may be pollable by SNMP or directly at the router's line status
[07:34] <ShackJack> Kjellviz - that's one of those KDE quirks I mentioned ;)
[07:35] <dekc> silent_, was already enabled
[07:35] <DanaG> Oh hey, how do I put GDM in xnest?
[07:35] <Fuzz> if i put /home onto its own partiton and then have to reinstall will i have to reconfigure/redownload all the software i had?
[07:35] <ShackJack> Kjellviz - might check to see if it was installed...
[07:35] <silent_> dekc, in synaptic package manager, search for nvidia and look for linux-restricted-modules
[07:35] <graveson1> how can make sure to external disks(ntfs) always mount on the same filesystem when rebooting. i have created the fstab entries but no luck. It only works when i mount it manually
[07:36] <ShackJack> Fuzz - you won't have ot reconfig, but you will have to reinstall but your settings will all be there..
[07:36] <Kjellviz> afk kid woke up
[07:36] <Darkfox> hi all... how can i find a history of what was fixed for each kernel-image-2.6.20* release from 2.6.20-15 up?  i got a kernel panic and want to know if it's fixed in the latest release before filing an ubuntu bug (it's fixed in the vanilla kernel...)
[07:36] <leagris> ipx, if your router run a linux firmware you can have thes counters by cli/shell in cat /proc/net/atm/devices
[07:36] <bobsumone> silent_: I cant get swat to launch
[07:36] <wolfeySI> what can i do to bug developers some more at this bug https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/76120
[07:36] <dekc> found only that 2
[07:36] <ShackJack> Fuzz - course reinstalling is a piece of cake with repos...
[07:36] <dekc>  NVidia binary X.Org 'legacy' driver||||||||NVidia binary X.Org driver
[07:36] <tesser> Fuzz - yeah. Usually that kind of stuff goes in /usr/local. Maybe you can partition that too.
[07:36] <bobsumone>  its all command line, so most of the ubuntu documents online are useless to me
[07:36] <ipx> leagris: yup it's on linux
[07:36] <silent_> you want it to autostart on boot? That's pretty much the only way I know (the only way I've used)
[07:36] <bluefox83> is there something you can do during the make process to get it to spit out a .deb file?
[07:37] <bluefox83> like make make-deb or something?
[07:37] <leagris> ipx telnet/ssh our router and cat /proc/net/atm/devices
[07:37] <user5284> is it true that some computer manufacturer has begun to ship computers with ubuntu installed on them? which company is this?
[07:37] <graveson> how can make sure to external disks(ntfs) always mount on the same filesystem when rebooting. i have created the fstab entries but no luck. It only works when i mount it manually
[07:37] <bluefox83> user5284, yes, several, but most prominant id Dell
[07:37] <bluefox83> *is
[07:37] <Darkfox> bluefox83: you need the special debian control files to build a .deb.  if you have the source for a debian/ubuntu package and want to build the binary, you use dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us
[07:37] <tesser> anyone ever get ubuntu ipsec client to work with nortel contivity?
[07:38] <zbrown> user5284: http://www.system76.com and http://dell.com
[07:38] <user5284> bluefox83: is there some web site about computers for sale with ubuntu installed?
[07:38] <graveson> how can make sure to external disks(ntfs) always mount on the same filesystem when rebooting. i have created the fstab entries but no luck. It only works when i mount it manually
[07:38] <user5284> bluefox83, zbrown: thanks
[07:38] <zbrown> yup
[07:38] <admintroy> how can i change the permsiions of a read only ntfs drive?
[07:38] <Flannel> user5284: systemz76.com sells Ubuntu computers
[07:38] <admintroy> permissions ^
[07:38] <silent_> bobsumone, you want it to autostart on boot? That's pretty much the only way I know (the only way I've used)
[07:39] <silent_> dekc, have you updated?
[07:39] <ipx> leagris: Gah, there aint no atm-folder in /proc/net
[07:39] <bluefox83> Darkfox, ok, well basically all i am doing is createing a .deb for pidgin cus i can't seem to find one anywhere and my girlfriend is going to want it once i have it installed...
[07:39] <kittyhawk> hi.  I'm having periodic lockups - X stops, virtual terminals stop, if there's sound playing, it gets stuck on a single tone - everything seems to be down
[07:39] <lnx> Hello.  I just installed winamp alpha1 for linux.  I converted it from a rpm to a .deb
[07:39] <PriceChild> !alien | lnx
[07:39] <kittyhawk> anyone have any ideas on how to troubleshoot that?
[07:39] <ubotu> lnx: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[07:39] <lnx> it installed, but the winamp.exe file is not running
[07:39] <dekc> silent_, not yet
[07:39] <DanaG> Winamp for Linux is essentially abandoned.
[07:39] <silent_> kittyhawk, do you know what drivers you're using?
[07:39] <Flannel> lnx: it's winamp.exe?  sounds like that's a wine thing
[07:40] <silent_> xmms is winamp for linux :P
[07:40] <DanaG> In fact, it was abandoned at least 2 or 3 years ago.
[07:40] <Darkfox> bluefox83: looks like someone already built a deb... if you trust them... :)  http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-pidgin-200-on-ubuntu-feisty-with-plugin-pack.html#more-203
[07:40] <lnx> yeah it installed to /usr/local/Winamp/winamp.exe
[07:40] <bluefox83> i don't see why anyone would want winamp on linux when there are so many far better alternatives...
[07:40] <ipx> hm
[07:40] <ipx> winamp?
[07:40] <lnx> I converted it to a .deb with alien
[07:40] <DanaG> AVS and Milkdrop, that's why.
[07:40] <lnx> then just ran it
[07:40] <leagris> ipx, it may report via SNMP though. You will have to find where are the counters on the SNMP tree
[07:40] <dekc> sudo apt-get update ||| apt-get upgrade right?
[07:40] <admintroy> how can i change the permisions of a read only ntfs drive?
[07:40] <lnx> actually winamp for linux alpha1 just came out
[07:40] <bulltitan> yesterday i took a look into my sources.list but it looks like a lot is missing can anyone take a look at it and tell me what you think
[07:40] <silent_> lnx, winamp is slow and sluggish, I had NO problem installing foobar2000 with wine. Foobar is superior to winamp.
[07:40] <hylje> link
[07:40] <kittyhawk> silent_: I'm using nvidia drivers for video, and also ralink drivers for my wireless card
[07:40] <bobsumone>  silent_: actually, im wondering if swat is what I should use to edit the .conf or what
[07:41] <ipx> leagris: okok :)
[07:41] <silent_> kitty, nvidia-glx?
[07:41] <bulltitan> here's the paste http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22716/
[07:41] <Flannel> bulltitan: pastebin it
[07:41] <kittyhawk> silent_: yes
[07:41] <lnx> but does it have a good media library able to browse shoutcast radio and tv?
[07:41] <ShackJack> admintroy - I think you have to install ntfs-3g to make it read/write - only reads by default...
[07:41] <Arex> All, When I try to use Logmein on my Linux, it always shows this http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/9669/screenshotpk2.png
[07:41] <grumbel> I think I remember once seeing a programm that can detect unused packages based on actual use (based on access time or so), does anybody know the name?
[07:41] <ipx> leagris: I get some settings to fill in; Location, Contact, Name, RO Community and RW Community. What should I put there?
[07:41] <silent_> does the whole system lock up or just X? can you take a look at the logs and see why it crashes?
[07:41] <Flannel> bulltitan: nope, that's everything
[07:41] <admintroy> ShackJack: thanks for the info.. is it a dowloadable package?
[07:41] <bulltitan> oki thanks
[07:41] <silent_> lnx, use vlc for that
[07:42] <ShackJack> admintroy - it's in repos - sudo aptitude install ntfs-3g
[07:42] <admintroy> thanks
[07:42] <silent_> bobsumone, yes swat edits the smb.conf file
[07:42] <silent_> makes it really easy
[07:42] <ShackJack> admintroy - then you get NTFS config tool under menu to enable read/write
[07:42] <kittyhawk> silent_: I should mention I'm still booting with the kernel from edgy because I couldn't get the wireless drivers to build against the 2.6.20 kernel
[07:42] <lnx> vlc for shoutcast and shoutcast tv?  I know there are media players that can play .nsv and other kinds of streams, but I want the ability to browse winamp's online media libraries
[07:42] <ShackJack> admintroy (it appears after installing, that is)
[07:42] <dekc>  Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[07:42] <bobsumone>  silent_: well im wondering how do I access it from the command line?
[07:42] <dekc> triyng to update
[07:43] <kittyhawk> silent_: the whole system - virtual terminals stop responding if I happen to be using them at the time
[07:43] <bobsumone>  sudo swat -s smb.conf
[07:43] <bobsumone> does nothing
[07:43] <leagris> ipx, community serv a en Access control on the SNMP probing/acting Read/write. You should have some names here and put the same names on the tool you'd like to use on the ubuntu box to read/write the SNMP components
[07:43] <kittyhawk> silent_: what logs should I check?
[07:43] <Arex> All, When I try to use Logmein on my Linux, it always shows this http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/9669/screenshotpk2.png - Can someone tell me how I can get logmein to work
[07:43] <DanaG> Recently?  Where's winamp "recent">?
[07:43] <silent_> I'm not sure, but I know you can 'sudo nano /etc/inetd.conf'
[07:43] <ShackJack> dekc you must have both synaptic and add/remove program open - gotta close 'em
[07:43] <silent_> and take the "#" comments out from swats entry
[07:43] <silent_> then reboot
[07:43] <dekc> lol i forgot it open
[07:43] <admintroy> ShackJack: could not find ntfs-3g package :(
[07:43] <bobsumone> silent_: was last to me?
[07:43] <bobsumone> or the other dude?
[07:44] <kittyhawk> silent_: I'm also confused :)
[07:44] <dekc> ok updated
[07:44] <Arex> All, When I try to use Logmein on my Linux, it always shows this http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/9669/screenshotpk2.png - Can someone tell me how I can get logmein to work
[07:44] <silent_> sorry kittyhawk, jumping between 3 differnet people :P
[07:44] <ShackJack> admintroy - hmmm should be in default repos - you have universe and multiverse enabled?
[07:44] <admintroy> yup -both
[07:44] <Flannel> Arex: what does logmein do?
[07:44] <silent_> kittyhawk, have you updated/upgraded all packages?
[07:45] <akyra> Flannel: maybe you're referring to hamachi
[07:45] <dekc> but nothing to do i have the same packages
[07:45] <admintroy> i'll do an update
[07:45] <silent_> bobsumone, "sudo nano /etc/inetd.conf"
[07:45] <kittyhawk> silent_: everything but the bunch that came in today, although as I said I still boot with the 2.6.17 kernel
[07:45] <ShackJack> admintroy - what does sudo aptitude search ntfs give you?
[07:45] <Flannel> Arex: that's an activeX control I believe.  So you won't be able to do that.  Luckily, Linux provides many other options ot login to remote PCs
[07:45] <silent_> bobsumone, remove the # commenting before swat
[07:45] <Flannel> ShackJack, admintroy, no need to sudo for search
[07:45] <ynnk> Somebody has tested cacti?
[07:46] <ShackJack> Flannel - erp you're right - force of habit :)
[07:46] <silent_> kittyhawk, try upgrading the kernel?
[07:46] <kTz-> i have a lil question about wine and counter strike 1.6 ; is ti possible to have 100 fps always ? or i must wait new release of wine ?
[07:46] <kittyhawk> silent_: I can't get my wireless drivers working on the new kernel
[07:46] <silent_> bobusmone, then reboot, since that's the only way I know of
[07:46] <dekc> silent_, do u have the good link to download the .run file on nvidia site?
[07:46] <DanaG> lnx: where did you find "just came out"?
[07:46] <silent_> kittyhawk, I see. have you tried defaulting to vesa video and seeing if the crashes stop?
[07:46] <dekc> cuz  with synaptic just don't work
[07:46] <DanaG> For Winamp.
[07:47] <lnx> I typed winamp for linux in google
[07:47] <lnx> it had the top three listings
[07:47] <admintroy> ShackJack: libntfs-dev libntfs-gnomevfs libntfs8 ntfsdoc ntfsprogs and ntfstools
[07:47] <bbrazil> kTz-: your eyes work at ~20FPS, why would you need that?
[07:47] <lnx> i've typed it in before but to no end
[07:47] <silent_> lnx, vlc + foobar2000/wine
[07:47] <lnx> so this is recent
[07:47] <bobsumone>  oh ok silent, i get what your saying
[07:47] <bobsumone> let me try
[07:47] <ShackJack> admintroy - weird - what version of ubuntu are you running?
[07:47] <lnx> let me checkout foobar2000
[07:47] <admintroy> Dapper drake
[07:47] <jubuntu> hello
[07:47] <kittyhawk> silent_: I'm sorry I just realized that I am in fact using the open source "nv" driver
[07:47] <lnx> my question is does it have a decent media library able to browse winamp's libraries
[07:47] <silent_> its a windows native program, you have to enable wine hardware acceleration to 'emulate'
[07:47] <ZeZu> eyes work a bit faster than 20 fps, 23fps is the abs. min. for video
[07:48] <kTz-> (bbrazil) get the game fluid, for pro gaming, if nlow fps the game is slow
[07:48] <lnx> winamp's shoutcast tv and radio
[07:48] <ShackJack> admintroy - hmmm that might be in - not in repos for Dapper...
[07:48] <silent_> kittyhawk, try enabling nvidia
[07:48] <kittyhawk> silent_: okay.
[07:48] <lnx> that's all I want back really
[07:48] <bobsumone>  silent_: there is no # in .inetd.conf
[07:48] <rollerskatejamms> IHow do I rip DVDs with k3b. I select rip dvd, then the source, and then nothing happens.
[07:48] <silent_> kittyhawk, 'sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf (i think)
[07:48] <admintroy> ShackJack - can I add other repo's to get it?
[07:48] <ShackJack> admintroy - that's the proggie at any rate - maybe search to see if it works for dapper and install manually (though I should think it would be in the repos if it did)... Or get on the Feisty express!
[07:48] <silent_> bobsumone, can you put your inetd on pastebin.ca please
[07:49] <kittyhawk> silent_: thanks, bbs
[07:49] <DanaG> !mediubuntu
[07:49] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mediubuntu - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:49] <Flannel> !medibuntu
[07:49] <DanaG> !medibuntu
[07:49] <ubotu> medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/
[07:49] <DanaG> eep.
[07:49] <bobsumone>  silent_: its on a diff computer
[07:49] <ShackJack> admintroy - check out http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710
[07:49] <silent_> bob, can you ssh in?
[07:49] <admintroy> ShackJack - I woudl ob\ve to, but I have spent 3 days setting this machine up with everything I needed, but now all I need to do is transfer data from my ntfs dirves :(
[07:49] <silent_> or boot the other computer
[07:50] <ShackJack> admintroy - see above...
[07:50] <silent_> if you're on windows you can use putty
[07:50] <bobsumone>  silent_: nope, its the only nix machine
[07:50] <silent_> or if you're on linux ssh <ip>
[07:50] <M3G4crux> hi2all
[07:50] <bobsumone>  silent_: putty?
[07:50] <silent_> puTTy
[07:50] <silent_> do you have ssh on the other machine?
[07:50] <lnx> by the way here is the link to winamp for linux
[07:50] <lnx> http://librenix.com/?inode=1377
[07:50] <bobsumone> well what should I be looking for?
[07:50] <Rodel> could anyone here help me install garnome?
[07:50] <bobsumone>  i don't think i configed the ssh
[07:50] <lnx> and http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Winamp_3_for_Linux/1002748075/1
[07:51] <bobsumone>  im kinda working from the ground up still
[07:51] <silent_> you shouldnt have to config it, it should work
[07:51] <silent_> http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[07:51] <Wulfie_road> hey folks - I just setup feisty on my dell laptop and it can't seem to find my wireless network
[07:51] <silent_> try acessing it, using its ip
[07:51] <Wulfie_road> any thoughts?
[07:51] <admintroy> ShackJack - cheers for the info .. I'm on it now :)
[07:51] <ShackJack> admintroy - NP
[07:52] <bobsumone> nothin
[07:52] <ShackJack> admintroy - though if you can install it, Feisty's really bitchin' ;)
[07:52] <bobsumone> no ping response either
[07:52] <silent_> no ping?
[07:52] <bobsumone> no ping
[07:52] <silent_> what did you install on the server?
[07:52] <bobsumone>  but im probably fuckin something up along the way
[07:52] <ShackJack> Wulfie_road - what type of encryption does your network use?
[07:52] <bobsumone> i put lamp on
[07:52] <Wulfie_road> ShackJack: wpa-personal
[07:52] <kittyhawk> silent_: do you know if there's a way to make nvidia-glx work on all installed kernels?
[07:53] <bobsumone> i started working on the openLAPD
[07:53] <silent_> kittyhawk, no, is it not working?
[07:53] <ShackJack> Wulfie_road - and wireless card definately working and has drivers installed?
[07:53] <kittyhawk> silent_: no, it's not
[07:53] <Foon> oi folks
[07:53] <silent_> have you tried installing nvidia-glx-new? and make sure you have restricted modules
[07:53] <Wulfie_road> ShackJack: well the drivers are installed and if I do ifconfig it shows the card and its mac address - first time trying to connect to a network
[07:53] <silent_> what video card are you using?
[07:54] <kittyhawk> silent_: I didn't know about nvidia-glx-new
[07:54] <jkelly_> hi guys, i need help getting a microphone to work in kubuntu feisty, i'm using an intel mac mini, sound card is intel high definition audio
[07:54] <Wulfie_road> ShackJack: the wireless network list is completely empty - there should be at least 5-8
[07:54] <Foon> a friend of mine just told me that his fingerprint usb drive's hidden partition (with the fingerprint software on it) has been infected by a virus
[07:54] <Foon> but the partition is read-only
[07:54] <Foon> how would he go about making it writable?
[07:54] <ShackJack> Wulfie_road - network card on?
[07:54] <bluefox83> hey that .deb someone linked me to of pidgin works really well...
[07:54] <kittyhawk> silent_: it's a pretty old one, a TNT2 or something
[07:54] <bbrazil> Foon: what filesystem is it?
[07:54] <sparr> Is there any way to make bash (or some other shell) expand wildcards in the order the files are present on the drive?
[07:54] <Foon> FAT
[07:55] <silent_> kittyhawk, hmm, that shouldn't have any compatibility issues
[07:55] <tux_wears_a_tux> is there a way to install KDE without removing GNOME ?
[07:55] <Foon> not FAT32, just FAT.. so FAT16
[07:55] <Flannel> tux_wears_a_tux: sure.  Just install kubuntu-desktop
[07:55] <silent_> bobsumone u still here somewhere?
[07:55] <Foon> er, well, FAT
[07:55] <Foon> anyway, yeah
[07:55] <silent_> Foon man mount
[07:55] <bbrazil> Foon: hmm, that should be writable without any issues. Try sudo remount -o remount,rw /mount/point
[07:55] <ShackJack> tux_wears_a_tux - yep just install kubuntu-desktop then select at login screen under sessions
[07:55] <kittyhawk> silent_: no, I think it's just that the package installs the driver for only a single kernel, and since I'm not using the latest installed kernel, it doesn't work
[07:55] <Wulfie_road> ShackJack: I think so - I don't think it can be turned off via hardware - and I have enable wireless checked
[07:55] <bbrazil> Foon: bah, sudo mount -o remount,rw /mount/point
[07:55] <kittyhawk> silent_: but I don't know exactly what's going on.
[07:56] <tux_wears_a_tux> shackjack: thanx
[07:56] <silent_> kittyhawk, can you live without wireless... do you have restricted repository enabled? There may be drivers available
[07:56] <Kjellviz> aite
[07:56] <Kjellviz> what is klauncher ?
[07:56] <Foon> I'll relay that to him and see what happens, but I think he said he has already tried mounting it under ubuntu
[07:56] <tux_wears_a_tux> shackjack: how would i uninstall it
[07:56] <ShackJack> Wulfie_road - in terminal what do you get for  iwlist eth1 scan?
[07:56] <Arex> Flannel, are you there?
[07:56] <Flannel> Arex: I am
[07:56] <kittyhawk> silent_: I can't - that's my only net access.  There's instructions for getting the drivers working on the ubuntu website, but they didn't work for me
[07:57] <ShackJack> tux_wears_a_tux - usual way - or sudo aptitude remove --purge kubuntu-desktop
[07:57] <Arex> About this, <Flannel> Arex: that's an activeX control I believe.  So you won't be able to do that.  Luckily, Linux provides many other options ot login to remote PCs
[07:57] <Wulfie_road> no scan results
[07:57] <Flannel> Arex: that's what I said.
[07:57] <Arex> I can connect to a PC running windows how
[07:57] <Broccoly> is moving my root partition / to another physical partition a difficult task?
[07:57] <ShackJack> tux_wears_a_tux - or just d/l a kubuntu live cd if you just want to snoop around...
[07:57] <kittyhawk> silent_: I've just been living with the crashes, but it's getting old
[07:57] <silent_> kittyhawk, Where were these installation instructions on the site?
[07:57] <tux_wears_a_tux> shackjack: ok
[07:57] <silent_> kittyhawk, can you link me?
[07:58] <kittyhawk> silent_: let me see if I can find them
[07:58] <Kjellviz> ShackJack: what is klauncher and can i install it on gnome ?
[07:58] <shawn34> i have a dvd burner with lightscribe, does linux support that
[07:58] <kittyhawk> silent_: btw thanks for being so helpful
[07:58] <ohzie> Is there an easy way to tell what my agp aperture is?
[07:58] <ohzie> Whatever the hell that is?
[07:58] <ShackJack>  Kjellviz - should be in repos with description
[07:59] <cypher1> does anyone know of a local ubuntu mirror at new jersey ?
[07:59] <Flannel> Arex: there are a few methods, VNC, RDP.  RDP requires no additional software on windows.
[07:59] <jubuntu> ohzie AGP aperture is how much memory your card has
[07:59] <silent_> kittyhawk, no prob
[08:00] <ohzie> jubuntu: Then why is there an option for how much memory my card has that's seperate from the aperture setting?
[08:00] <Kjellviz> ShackJack: maybe in the non gui repos :P  cant find in add/remove progz
[08:00] <roadboy> some may tell me the permissions for /dev/sd* ?
[08:00] <Arex> Flannel, could you give me a wiki or something to set one of them up
[08:00] <akyra> i made a fresh install of feisty on a sata but the new entry doesn't appear on grub. any ideas?
[08:00] <silent_> roadboy, /dev/sdx is just a device
[08:00] <jubuntu> ohzie is this in bios?
[08:01] <silent_> you have to mount it to access it
[08:01] <ohzie> jubuntu: No, in cedega.
[08:01] <silent_> man mount
[08:01] <Wulfie_road> ShackJack: btw its a intel pro 2915 which uses the ipw2200 driver which is loaded
[08:01] <cypher1> roadboy, do you want to recreate files under /dev ?
[08:01] <roadboy> silent_, i know. i need the permissions for disk drives. some app did changed permissions 777, i need to change back.
[08:01] <jubuntu> ohzie don't know never used cedaga
[08:01] <ShackJack> Kjellviz - should be the same though I guess it's not in there... at least not as as indiv package...
[08:01] <silent_> man chmod
[08:01] <cypher1> roadboy, check man makedev
[08:01] <Flannel> Arex: Unfortunately no.  there doesn't seem to be anything in the wiki about it.  You might search the forums, if not there, google.
[08:02] <Zelian> hey guys, could someone help me?
[08:02] <ShackJack> Wulfie_road - did the iwlist give you anything?
[08:02] <silent_> !ask
[08:02] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:02] <Wulfie_road> ShackJack: nothing
[08:02] <Zelian> :P
[08:02] <Wulfie_road> ShackJack: well - No scan results
[08:02] <Zelian> its a grub issue
[08:02] <Zelian> error 25
[08:02] <silent_> fun stuff
[08:02] <Kjellviz> ShackJack: nah couldnt find it, guess im gonna try another commander instead
[08:02] <roadboy> silent_, you only need to do ls -la /dev/sd* and tell me the permissions for the sdX drives
[08:02] <Joe_CoT> question: if i had a problem with usb dying after a period of time (works fine, later usb shuts off), what project would a file a bug report in in launchpad?
[08:02] <cypher1> roadboy, you can use makedev to recreate factory device files
[08:02] <ShackJack> Kjellviz - yeah if you're using gnome try to use gnome apps... KDE apps can be finicky in gnome...
[08:02] <silent_> oh, you want default permissions?
[08:03] <silent_> one sec roadboy
[08:03] <jubuntu> ohzie sorry
[08:03] <furenku> hello! does anyone know of a reliable howto for compiling FST on Ubuntu Studio (im having trouble with gtk+-2.0 and other library dependencies)
[08:03] <Tangrim> dite
[08:03] <Zelian> everytime i turn off my comp error 25 pops
[08:03] <roadboy> cypher1, if i use makedev, i'll lose something.
[08:03] <Foon> bbrazil: I haven't gotten a reply back from him yet, but the problem is that the partition is read-only from what I understand, he can't even reformat it under windows
[08:03] <Tangrim> comment je peux tuer x ?
[08:03] <KromiX> hey whats a good program on ubuntu to encode videos from divx/xvid to .wmv, but not one at a time something that I can put in like 20 videos and have it queue it and do them all while im at work ???
[08:03] <ShackJack> Wulfie_road - is roaming mode enabled?
[08:03] <Foon> bbrazil: but it's gotta be writable somehow because a virus was able to sneak on, ... so how?
[08:03] <Wulfie_road> it is
[08:03] <cypher1> roadboy, i think you can recreate just sda files.. check the manpage
[08:03] <Kjellviz> ShackJack: ye but the gnome commander dint appeal to me
[08:03] <Wulfie_road> ShackJack: it is - and I can't seem to disable it
[08:04] <leagris> Tangrim, CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE (keyboard) or killall X or killall -9 X
[08:04] <ShackJack> Wulfie_road - hmmm  Ionly know basic wireless troubleshooting - hopefully someone else here cna help..
[08:04] <cypher1> roadboy, i believe thats the best and safest way to recreate it
[08:04] <roadboy> cypher1, i don't need to recreate, i only need changing the permissions back to default
[08:05] <silent_> roadboy rw- rw- ---

[08:05] <leagris> niriven, Enemy Territory :D
[08:05] <KromiX> Can Any1 recommend a good video converting software (namely divx/xvid to .wmv) that does bulk converting so I can leave multiple files queued and converting while I work etc ?
[08:05] <silent_> Zelian, every time your computer turns OFF?
[08:06] <ShackJack> niriven - yeah kxmame using any arcade rom made before 1985! :P
[08:06] <Foon> bbrazil: ?

[08:06] <silent_> o_O
[08:06] <shawn34> is there anything out there for lightscribe to work in ubuntu
[08:06] <shawn34> ?
[08:07] <Zelian> silent_: if i reboot, i dont get the message, only when i turn it off and then on
[08:07] <kittyhawk> silent_: well, I can't find the page to which I was referring (I have a local copy), but while looking I came across some bug reports along the lines of "lockups when running with rt61 drivers" so perhaps that's the answer
[08:07] <silent_> so when its booting or when its shutting down?
[08:07] <kittyhawk> silent_: I'm going to do some more reading and see if this has been solved
[08:07] <silent_> kittyhawk, alright
[08:07] <kittyhawk> silent_: thanks again for your help
[08:07] <niriven> jubuntu: cli?
[08:07] <silent_> kittyhawk, try the ubuntu forums too, they tend to have a lot of solutions

[08:08] <jimmygoon> ~ics

[08:09] <ShackJack> Kjellviz - the windows key
[08:09] <root__> Ok. I'm here. All your problems are solved.
[08:09] <Kjellviz> ShackJack: in keybindings for exaile
[08:09] <mathieu__> bonjour  tous
[08:09] <silent_> Zelian, I would reinstall grub
[08:09] <Kjellviz> ShackJack: hummm didint work at least ><

[08:09] <nexous> What would the best way to go about allowing my windows PC to edit files in /var/www/ without having to keep using file transfers, just edit the file on windows on the direct linux directory.
[08:10] <Zelian> silent_: i did that. I even did a clean feisty install, with no windows

[08:10] <jimmygoon> anyone got an easy primer to internet connection sharing with ubuntu? I really don't want to boot XP for this
[08:10] <Zelian> silent_: another error that pops is "grub loading stage 1.5 Read error"
[08:10] <erUSUL> nexous: use ssh
[08:10] <erUSUL> jimmygoon: firestarte can set up inet sharing afaik
[08:10] <nexous> erUSUL: I will be able to open files in Context(my windows editor) and save it right back from where the file was?
[08:11] <Kjellviz> ShackJack: ye, but it seems there some other app that has the same hotkeys as the default ones for exaile
[08:11] <nexous> erUSUL: I'm not sure to use ssh or samba.
[08:11] <silent_> Zelian can you give me a pastebin of your /boot/grub/menu.lst and output on "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sd*"

[08:12] <Kjellviz> anyone know how to get the mediakeys working ? (play, pause, next etc)
[08:12] <Flannel> admintroy: Which menu?  It shouldn't show up on a program menu, it's just a driver-ish thing to be able to mount ntfs drives rw
[08:12] <JohnStax> Ubuntu roxx! I haven't booted Windows for like 2 weeks! <:o)

[08:12] <Broccoly> is moving my root partition / to another physical partition a difficult task?
[08:12] <Kjellviz> Paddy_EIRE: thanks ill look into that
[08:12] <mathieu__> I need help
[08:12] <matkix0s> So anyone here know if you can play battle field 2 on ubuntu?
[08:12] <silent_> Zelian, NO, use pastebin.ca
[08:12] <Flannel> Broccoly: not really.  Is /boot a separate partition?
[08:12] <Kjellviz> Flannel: thanks to u too :)
[08:12] <shad0w1e> tried to install nvidia-glx and then use the enable, but get some "wfb" kernel not found error + some stuff have different versions. i think kernel module vs nvidia module versions dont match
[08:13] <Paddy_EIRE> silent_, foobar 2000? does that work well with wine and is it opensource
[08:13] <silent_> shadow, I had that exact problem yester
[08:13] <silent_> day
[08:13] <admintroy> ShackJack - the only menu's i have are applications, places and system and i cannot find it in any of these

[08:13] <matkix0s> Why?
[08:13] <shad0w1e> cool, then you should know the quickest and most effective way of solving it :-P
[08:13] <silent_> shadow, I can help you bit it's a really tedious solution
[08:13] <SUDOBash2> i play CS:Source and its laggy...
[08:13] <SUDOBash2> wine
[08:13] <admintroy> Flannel - the only menu's i have are applications, places and system and i cannot find it in any of these
[08:13] <Flannel> Broccoly: alright, Then you'll have to tell grub about the change.  But no, it's not that difficult.
[08:13] <shad0w1e> no freakin way
[08:13] <silent_> shadow, one sec
[08:13] <SUDOBash2> CS:S has steam running also though

[08:13] <silent_> Zelian paste your stuff in and hit paste
[08:14] <Flannel> admintroy: It won't be on any.  That'd be like asking if your printer driver had a menu item.

[08:14] <silent_> OH GOD NOEZ
[08:14] <Zelian> lol
[08:14] <Broccoly> Flannel: I did create a new entry in grub, and pointed the new root to the new partition, is that right?
[08:14] <silent_> oh well, now that its done...
[08:14] <Flannel> admintroy: I don't know if theres anything *to* add.
[08:14] <Clarrisa_2008> when I try to reload apache2,  Why do I get several lines that say: NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts
[08:14] <Zelian> silent_: sorry of its in english
[08:14] <admintroy> i'll check
[08:14] <Zelian> spanish
[08:14] <SUDOBash2> you can try it but if it is multiple cd's/dvd's then it will require you to make it into one dvd and install from that... if you use wine
[08:15] <PriceChild> !paste | Zelian
[08:15] <ubotu> Zelian: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[08:15] <silent_> Zelian, Linux is universal, the titles and stuff dont matter
[08:15] <KromiX> Can Any1 recommend a good video converting software (namely divx/xvid to .wmv) that does bulk converting so I can leave multiple files queued and converting while I work etc ?
[08:15] <silent_> is hda1 your / ?
[08:15] <gabe_> I just installed Beryl and now I have no window pane (minize, maximize) and my terminal screen is just white
[08:15] <Broccoly> Flannel: kernel /boot/*kernel* ro root=LABEL=scsi-raid, that the label of the new partition
[08:15] <ShackJack> Flannel - it does have a menu item for a GUI checkbox to enable ntfs read/write for external/internal drives (a little superfluous, I know)
[08:15] <shad0w1e> ohh w8. i think i found s/t causing the problem
[08:15] <Paddy_EIRE> !avidemux
[08:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about avidemux - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:15] <Zelian> silent_: no
[08:15] <ShackJack> Flannel (ntfs-config)
[08:15] <Flannel> Broccoly: Well, sort of.  GRUB is a two stage bootloader, the first stage(in your MBR) boots to the second stage (on /boot, which reads your menu.lst), you need to update the second one to change the hd numbers, and also change the part in your MBR, so it boots to /boot in the new partition
[08:16] <Zelian> silent_: hda1 is a separate boot partition i made
[08:16] <shad0w1e> man the terminal font is HAWTTT
[08:16] <silent_> shadow, you're missing libraries
[08:16] <FFighter> hello folks
[08:16] <shad0w1e> I just installed the restricted thing..
[08:16] <silent_> restricted modules?
[08:16] <FFighter> I just started using Ubuntu 7...
[08:16] <admintroy> ShackJack - can't find it when i search to add new items into the menu
[08:16] <shad0w1e> it was installed, not enabled
[08:16] <shad0w1e> aparently..
[08:16] <FFighter> and I really need some help on sharing my internet connection with a XP box
[08:16] <matkix0s> !Cedega
[08:16] <ubotu> cedega is a project based on WINE, aimed at running Windows games on Linux. For more info, see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cedega
[08:16] <ShackJack> admintroy - well just type in command line then...
[08:16] <shad0w1e> unless enabling just means switching the driver from "nv" to "nvidia"
[08:16] <gabe_> I just installed Beryl and now I have no window pane (minize, maximize) and my terminal screen is just white
[08:16] <shad0w1e> because I know i moved it back to "nv" because "nvidia" wouldnt boot!
[08:16] <silent_> ok, check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf ... check if "Driver" = "nvidia"
[08:16] <Kjellviz> got em set up in gnome, but they still dont work on Exaile
[08:16] <shad0w1e> should I give rebooting a shot?
[08:16] <ShackJack> admintroy - not like you need to access it on a regular basis ;)
[08:17] <shad0w1e> it is nvidia, just looked
[08:17] <FFighter> Could anyone help me ?
[08:17] <shad0w1e> it changed it back
[08:17] <silent_> shadow, you should be using nvidia
[08:17] <jubuntu> FFighter buy a switch
[08:17] <shad0w1e> lets reboot and see what happens
[08:17] <Paddy_EIRE> gabe_, did you install emerald aswell
[08:17] <gabe_> yes
[08:17] <admintroy> ShackJack - here comes the nob part... hoe do i ude it again?? lol have you got the website address again pls
[08:17] <scar> anyone? im trying to install gcc but it doesnt let me know how
[08:17] <shad0w1e> i cant stand my 2nd screen flashing a gizillion colors
[08:17] <silent_> what video card are you using shadow?
[08:17] <shad0w1e> gonna fix that soon
[08:17] <shad0w1e> 7600GT
[08:17] <ShackJack>  admintroy - huh?
[08:17] <silent_> you're using nvidia drivers?
[08:17] <admintroy> damn dyslexic keyboard
[08:17] <silent_> not nv or vesa?
[08:17] <shad0w1e> I tried to copy and paste the section where i define my 2nd monitor on my other distro and all hell broke lose
[08:18] <shad0w1e> so now id like to get 3d up and running first.
[08:18] <Broccoly> Flannel: but for now, can i keep the mbr as is?
[08:18] <shad0w1e> that might fix the other thing..
[08:18] <shad0w1e> so lets reboot... yay!
[08:18] <ShackJack> admintroy - gksu ntfs-config
[08:18] <mathieu__> on my IBM X40, alsa doesn't recognize the soundcard : lspci says 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01)
[08:18] <Flannel> Broccoly: "for now" being what? before you've moved your partition?
[08:18] <mathieu__> please help me
[08:18] <silent_> Zelian, where do you have grub installed?
[08:18] <Broccoly> Flannel: that is the mbr will point to my old boot, and the old boot will point to the new partition to mount?
[08:18] <phatmonkey> how can i access the network shares i've mounted under places from the shell without mounting them again in a real location?
[08:18] <Zelian> silent_: /boot/grub
[08:18] <Zelian> silent_: hda1
[08:18] <silent_> hdX?
[08:18] <silent_> k
[08:19] <FFighter> anyone ?
[08:19] <gabe_> I just installed Beryl and now I have no window pane (minize, maximize) and my terminal screen is just white
[08:19] <Flannel> Broccoly: no.  Your "old boot" is on the partition that your stuff is on.  stage1 currently points to a partition with nothing on it.  So, your boot moved as well
[08:19] <jubuntu> FFighter what type of cennection do you have?
[08:19] <silent_> in terminal "sudo grub" ... "root (hd0,0)" ... "setup (hd0)"
[08:19] <Flannel> gabe_: #ubuntu-effects for beryl support, thanks
[08:19] <jubuntu> connection
[08:19] <Zelian> silent_: hmm, i did it tomorrow night
[08:19] <admintroy> ShackJack - it didn't do anything :( it wanted to start, but nothing happened
[08:20] <silent_> Zelian, you've tried that already?
[08:20] <Zelian> silent_: today when i booted the same error popped
[08:20] <Zelian> yes
[08:20] <Zelian> silent_: from feisty installation cd
[08:20] <ShackJack> admintroy maybe then just sudo etc...
[08:20] <silent_> Zelian, that's really odd... it sounds to me like your hard drive might be dying... grub shouldn't have a problem booting
[08:21] <Zelian> silent_: my friends think the same...but i dont wanna but a new HD
[08:21] <admintroy> ShackJack - nope.. still nothing
[08:21] <shad0w1e> k I seem to have gotten rid of the 1st error but not the 2nd
[08:21] <ShackJack> You sure it's installed, then?
[08:21] <shad0w1e> which is the versions not matching
[08:21] <silent_> Zelian, disk space is dirt cheap
[08:21] <Zelian> silent_: how can i see if i have bad sectors?
[08:21] <silent_> 320GB for ~90 bucks here
[08:21] <silent_> CAD
[08:21] <shad0w1e> i saw a 500gb external for $100 on slickdeals
[08:22] <DanaG> Is there an easy way to shrink a qemu disk image?
[08:22] <admintroy> ShakcJack - it says it is

[08:22] <Kjellviz> ShackJack: humm got an idea why my amarok aint starting? i completly removed and reinstalled it ><
[08:22] <KromiX> Hey guys, I am trying to convert divx/xvid (.avi's) to H.264(Mpeg4) using Mencoder. Can someone help me just with an example command to have this done I don't know how to do it :-)
[08:22] <admintroy> ShackJack - it says it is
[08:22] <Zelian> silent_: well, here a 160 GB is like $ 300
[08:22] <ShackJack> Kjellviz - nope sorry...
[08:22] <Zelian> silent_: so its not dirt cheap
[08:22] <silent_> wow, where do you live?
[08:22] <MenZa> Kjellviz: is amarokapp running? ps ax | grep amarok
[08:22] <shad0w1e> hey so anyone got other suggestions for me to try and fix this versions not matching on my nvidia?
[08:22] <Zelian> silent_: Argentina
[08:22] <silent_> Zelian, you should move :P
[08:22] <ShackJack> admintroy - sorry dunno what to tell ya, if it's in there it should start with sudo ntfs-config

[08:23] <MenZa> Zelian, silent_, could we move this to #ubuntu-offtopic? Thank you :)
[08:23] <shad0w1e> sweet
[08:23] <ShackJack> admintroy - maybe it's different for the Dapper installs - that web page should tell you...
[08:23] <mario__> guys, i have a problem that nobody seems to be capable to solve
[08:23] <silent_> no we can't, cus its ended
[08:23] <shad0w1e> i think i found it posted on bugs.
[08:23] <Zelian> silent_: sorry
[08:24] <silent_> bah, MenZa's just grumpy
[08:24] <Zelian> silent_: is there any utility to check for bad blocks on my hard drive?
[08:24] <admintroy> ShackJack - have you got the web site addy again? I had to reboot and lost it
[08:24] <silent_> Zelian, yes
[08:24] <shad0w1e> should i just grab the nvidia driver from nvidia? i usually have good luck with that...
[08:24] <fogwar> is there a good xchat script anyone can reccommend?

[08:24] <silent_> shadow, yes and no, you will need the .run, but do not install it
[08:24] <ShackJack> admintroy - http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710  why would yo uhave to reboot?
[08:24] <mario__> Googleearth doesn't work for me
[08:24] <shad0w1e> silent_, let me guess. i use it to build the module?
[08:25] <nexous> On my windows PC I can't save/edit/create new files on my samba.
[08:25] <Zelian> silent_: coz i am afraid if i buy a new HD and this problem still is there
[08:25] <admintroy> ShackJack - it wanted me to after some updates
[08:25] <KromiX> is any1 here good with using mencoder i have a simple question on how to use it
[08:25] <silent_> Zelian, man fsck
[08:25] <shad0w1e> man its funny how ubuntu gives the appearance like its welcoming noobs, with add/remove , update manager, all that other fancy stuff but then in the end youre back at the bash terminal arent you :)
[08:26] <silent_> in your case, in "safe mode" soon
[08:26] <gabe_> #ubuntu-effects
[08:26] <silent_> download the driver from nvidia and put it in home or somesuch, somewhere where its easily accessible
[08:26] <Flannel> Zelian: `sudo touch /forcefsck` and reboot, your computer will fsck on bootup
[08:26] <shad0w1e> k lets do that...
[08:26] <Zelian> silent_: now that i remember, i did a e2fsck -c0 -p -f -v /dev/hda1 while running a live cd
[08:26] <shad0w1e> i read something about this: DISABLED_MODULES="nvidia nvidia_legacy"
[08:27] <Kjellviz> MenZa: uhm yes, several times it may seem >< (im not sure, im no good at linux :P )
[08:27] <shad0w1e> should i disregard?
[08:27] <Zelian> silent_: but didnt found anything strange
[08:27] <eubey> can someone help me configure my soundcard? It supports output through both the line out and the line in ports in windows (Settings change line in jack to rear out) but cant figure out how to do it on linux
[08:27] <silent_> shadow where is this error?
[08:27] <silent_> Zelian, use Flannel's advice
[08:27] <shad0w1e> when I try to run X
[08:27] <silent_> or just fsck right now
[08:27] <shad0w1e> ok sweet, I've got the .run
[08:28] <Zelian> Flannel: i did that
[08:28] <h4wk0> How do i mount /edia/disk to /home/npery/Files
[08:28] <silent_> alright, one sec shadow
[08:28] <eubey> can someone help me configure my soundcard? It supports output through both the line out and the line in ports in windows (Settings change line in jack to rear out) but cant figure out how to do it on linux

[08:28] <h4wk0> Ty
[08:28] <shad0w1e> eubey, maybe lpay with alsamixer at the bash prompt... or use the GUI volume control
[08:28] <mario__> HELP, please
[08:28] <habeeb> h4wk0: you may get an error message if disks filesystem is FAT32 or something...
[08:28] <habeeb> mario__: ?
[08:28] <silent_> before we start, have you made sure to install nvidia-glx-new AND the restricted modules?
[08:28] <shad0w1e> silent_, lets doublecheck
[08:29] <KromiX> I need help with using the right command to have mencoder encode some movie files for me, any1 good at it?
[08:29] <mario__> habeeb, i can't see the earth in googleearth

[08:29] <habeeb> mario__: I have never used google earth, sorry. But earth is quite huge..
[08:29] <admintroy> ShackJack - I just found the problem :)
[08:29] <silent_> oh good lord.... armageddon
[08:29] <molkko> is apt-get -y upgrade and apt-get -y dist-upgrade supposed to work from roots crontab. seems like they do not work?
[08:29] <MenZa> !offtopic
[08:29] <ShackJack> admintroy - cool which was?
[08:29] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[08:29] <mario__> jajaj
[08:29] <shad0w1e> eubey,  sorry
[08:30] <mario__> i'll be back, gotta go
[08:30] <habeeb> He is in deep shit..
[08:30] <admintroy> ShackJack - I had doenloaded ntfs-3g, but not ntfs-config
[08:30] <shad0w1e> odd. ubuntu doesnt seem to come preinstalled with a volume control
[08:30] <admintroy> downloaded^
[08:30] <ShackJack> admintroy - DOH!
[08:30] <shad0w1e> eubey, if you go to applications > accessories > terminal
[08:30] <shad0w1e> and type in : alsamixer
[08:30] <shad0w1e> you get a texty kind of volume control that might let you play with the right things
[08:30] <admintroy> ShackJack - thats what I get for trying to do it at 2:30 am Monday morning for you
[08:31] <silent_> shadow, did you check in synaptic?
[08:31] <ShackJack> admintroy - often you want to install the "main" package any any dependencies will be installed automatically...
[08:31] <silent_> make sure you have restricted repo enabled
[08:31] <shad0w1e> silent_, workin on it
[08:31] <Kjellviz> i wonder why ^^ takes 4 keystrokes in linux and only 2 in windows ><   (not counting shift)
[08:31] <PriceChild> !ohmy | habeeb
[08:31] <ubotu> habeeb: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[08:31] <ShackJack> admintroy - 2:30 pm sunday, here...
[08:31] <silent_> Kjellviz, it takes 12 keystrokes to get rid of malware in windows
[08:31] <silent_> it all works out
[08:31] <priich> How do i write a cdr from feisty livecd ?
[08:31] <shad0w1e> silent_, I have nvidia-glx, not nvidia-glx-new
[08:31] <Kjellviz> hehe
[08:31] <Kjellviz> i werent complaining
[08:31] <h4wk0> habeeb; I get /media/disk is not a block device
[08:32] <habeeb> Kjellviz: it takes 2 in me :/
[08:32] <Kjellviz> im just wondering =)
[08:32] <corevette> priich: are you on windows?
[08:32] <Sinear> hey guys, i have a question about installing ubuntu
[08:32] <ShackJack> silent_ - I'd prefer not to have the malware in the first place ;)
[08:32] <shad0w1e> I was so sure I put in the new...but I guess I can switch it out
[08:32] <silent_> shadow, ok, try those first
[08:32] <nexous> I can't modify files on my windows PC that are located on my linux drive. I'm using samba.
[08:32] <shad0w1e> I have 7600GT
[08:32] <admintroy> ShackJack - now how do i see the drive? as a folder in my file system?
[08:32] <silent_> sinear, !ask
[08:32] <Sinear> why when i hit install on my cd that i downloaded does it flash a few install screens, then my monitor cuts off and doesnt come back on
[08:32] <Kjellviz> anyone got WoW running along with Beryl ?
[08:32] <eubey> shad0wle, ok i see the screen now what, i change to 4 speaker mode?
[08:32] <Sinear> its an lcd
[08:33] <shad0w1e> eubey, hmmm
[08:33] <priich> corevette, no i
[08:33] <shad0w1e> its hard for me to help because I dont get sound on ubuntu at all
[08:33] <priich> corevette, no im on feisty.
[08:33] <ShackJack> admintro - yep.. generally under /media/sda2, etc... I ususally make a shortcut in nautilus for my Places - like to My Documents, etc...
[08:33] <shad0w1e> but you can go left and right and enable / disable / adjust volumes...
[08:33] <corevette> priich: why are you trying to wire on the livecd?
[08:33] <ShackJack>  admintroy ^^
[08:33] <corevette> write
[08:33] <admintroy> ShackJack - I just found it.. thanks for the assistance once again
[08:33] <silent_> you might have to go into system > preferences > sound to enable the device you want
[08:34] <tic1> how would i make a partition bigger using gparted?
[08:34] <priich> corevette because upgrading to feisty hosed my system. Now i want to burn files from my home folder so i can blast this drive clean and start over with a fresh instal.
[08:34] <h4wk0> Hello, trying to 'sudo mount /media/disk /home/nperry/Files' and i get /media/disk is not block device?
[08:34] <silent_> shadow, do you have linux-restricted-modules installed?
[08:34] <shad0w1e> silent_, yes
[08:34] <bbrazil> h4wk0: try /dev/something instead of /media/disk
[08:35] <corevette> priich: you have to write to a new cd...you can't rewire on a cdr that's already been written on
[08:35] <nexous> I can't modify files on my windows PC that are located on my linux drive. I'm using samba.
[08:35] <FutureMarine> I need help with Xubuntu
[08:35] <silent_> and when you restart with the nvidia drivers the nvidia logo flashes all over then X crashes yes?
[08:35] <FutureMarine> ?
[08:35] <priich> corevette, yeah i replaced the cd in the drive with a fresh blank but it still refuses.
[08:35] <Pelo> !nfts-3g | nexous
[08:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nfts-3g - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:35] <_eric`> nexous: install ntfs-3g
[08:35] <Sinear> any ideas why when i try to install ubuntu on my computer, after i hit install it flashes up a few screens of briefly scrolling text then my monitor cuts off and doesnt turn back on?
[08:35] <Pelo> !ntfs-3g | nexous
[08:35] <corevette> refuses to what priich?
[08:35] <tic1> FutureMarine: try #xubuntu
[08:35] <ubotu> nexous: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[08:35] <silent_> Sinear, fiesty?
[08:36] <Sinear> i think so
[08:36] <Sinear> kinda a linux newbie
[08:36] <shad0w1e> eubey, apparently I made things harder than I had to..... if you go into synaptic, you can install "gnome-alsamixer" which will probably make life a lot lot easier
[08:36] <nexous> Pelo: exact opposite.
[08:36] <Sinear> the main ubuntu on the official site
[08:36] <Sinear> 7.0.4
[08:36] <nexous> I need my linux partition on my windows pc. Well really only /var/www/
[08:36] <priich> corevette to burn an iso image to a bkank media.
[08:36] <shad0w1e> or "alsamixergui", or both
[08:36] <ShackJack> Sinear - usually your monitor wan't very "specific" refresh rate/resolution
[08:36] <nexous> But I don't want to run ftp service for it.
[08:36] <alexandroos> I just installed Feisty but when it reboots i get no icons in the menus. someone help me please
[08:36] <Pelo> nexous, ubuntu still needs the speical module to do the job
[08:36] <_eric`> nexous: i dunno if that's possible
[08:36] <shad0w1e> silent_, what now?
[08:36] <Wimpog> GUYS, I have installed Ubuntu Server. How, I'm trying to get cgi-bin directory to work. I have one in ~/public_html/cgi-bin/ I put there small perl script, but when I type the URL in a broswer, the script does not execute, but instead prompts me to download it....
[08:37] <Sinear> what do you mean shackjack?
[08:37] <corevette> which iso image are you burning priich? i thought you already burned feisty
[08:37] <Nubbie> nexous: it is possible, there are ext3 drivers available for windows, from a 3rd party.
[08:37] <nexous> _eric`: It would be Samba that does it. It's just the problem with permissions that I dont know what to do
[08:37] <silent_> shadow, you missed some of my quesions :P
[08:37] <shad0w1e> Wimpog, I'd check apache config and make sure that cgi-bin directory is enabled to have cgi scrips execute from it
[08:37] <shad0w1e> silent_, sorry...
[08:37] <silent_> shadow, do you have linux-restricted-modules installed?
[08:37] <h4wk0> bbrazil; Ok mount worked, however when i cant create folders there - how do i set permissions to me
[08:37] <ShackJack> Sinear - well ubuntu loads gui up and sets your monitor to a resolution and refresh rate - could be your monitor is not likeling what is automatically detected...
[08:37] <_eric`> nexous: i see.. i've never tried that... maybe i should.. that's interesting..
[08:37] <silent_> and when you restart with the nvidia drivers the nvidia logo flashes all over then X crashes yes?
[08:37] <Nubbie> nexous: if you want to view your ext3 partitions from within windows, you must use 3rd party drivers.
[08:37] <ferronica> how to install C Compiler in ubuntu 7.04 to write small programmes, for practice
[08:37] <Pelo> what is the name of that applications that scans an audio /video file to know what codecs it uses ? it's a special application
[08:37] <nexous> Pelo: so your saying I need the nfts... to be able to read/write files that are located on linux partition but edit them via windows?
[08:37] <Sinear> thats what im thinking, ive installed it a long time ago on a crt monitor
[08:37] <alexandroos> I just installed Feisty but when it reboots i get no icons in the menus. someone help me please
[08:38] <Sinear> this time im using a newer lcd
[08:38] <Pelo> nexous, if it is an ntfs partition yes
[08:38] <Wimpog> shad0w1e:  I actually do not see anything in apache2.conf regarding cgi-bin directory... What and how do I enable it?
[08:38] <shad0w1e> silent_,  the screen blinks a  couple of times
[08:38] <eubey> shad0wle, i already have the gnome-alsa mixer instaleld, but i cant figure out how to make the line in switch to an output
[08:38] <shad0w1e> silent_, then gives up
[08:38] <Nubbie> nexous: please listen to me. there are drivers for windows available that will let you read your ext3 partitions.
[08:38] <Pelo> nexous, unless I totaly missread you
[08:38] <_eric`> Pelo: i think he's talking about being in WinXP and accessing files on his Linux partion....
[08:38] <Flannel> Wimpog: apache2.conf isn't used by ubuntu.  And cgi-bin stuff is in virtualhosts anyway, so it'd be in /sites-available
[08:38] <ShackJack> Sinear - not sure how I fixed - I think I changed xorg.conf driver to vesa then restarted X
[08:38] <shad0w1e> eubey, WHOAAA. sorry, i didnt realize your question, cant help you with that..
[08:38] <priich> corevette: umm severa various iso9660 images.. Backing up my old home folder. So i can start fresh over.
[08:39] <Sinear> alright ill fool around with it
[08:39] <Nubbie> pelo: lol.
[08:39] <nexous> Nubbie: Any idea of any? Any suggestions?
[08:39] <shad0w1e> although it might be doable by hand editing some config files
[08:39] <Flannel> Wimpog: and it is.  the default cgi-bin is /usr/lib/cgi-bin
[08:39] <silent_> shadow, have you tried using nvidia-glx-new?
[08:39] <shad0w1e> silent_, not yet
[08:39] <shad0w1e> should i?
[08:39] <ShackJack> Sinear - or set xorg.conf to force know good refresh rate/resolution combox... It ain't pretty...
[08:39] <silent_> try it first
[08:39] <Kjellviz> anybody know how i can get the thunderbird icon? (got the program working just fine, but theres no icon on it in apps menu)
[08:39] <Wimpog> Flannel: apache2.conf isn't used at all???
[08:39] <Sinear> ok
[08:39] <silent_> uninstall glx then install new
[08:39] <faileas> nexous: http://fs-driver.org/
[08:39] <Nubbie> nexous: i haven't used it in a very long time, i forget it's name, but I can attest to it's existence and functionality.
[08:39] <Kjellviz> ive browsed for it and cant find it on my comp
[08:39] <eubey> does anybody know aznything out making the audio line in switch to an audio line out in ubuntu? the windows driver i have for my mobo's sound card supports itbut i cant figure it out in linux
[08:40] <shad0w1e> Wimpog, I'm like so sure that perl scripts are only allowed on a per-directory basis, specified in apache config. let me see if I can find this out
[08:40] <nexous> faileas: Thank you
[08:40] <pmvalente> hello, can anybody help me with some tips to how to install ubuntu with another distro (debian)

[08:40] <Flannel> Wimpog: er, sorry. httpd.conf isnt.  apache2.conf is, but not for that.

[08:41] <silent_> alsa-tools-gui
[08:41] <silent_> oh, good
[08:41] <eubey> haha wow way loud
[08:41] <nexous> Wait hold on.
[08:41] <soothsay> Is iptables.up.rules not a good place to put rules for interfaces that may not yet be up at that point in the boot process (e.g. ppp0)? Where is the best place to put them? ifup?
[08:41] <nexous> This is suppose to be via network.
[08:41] <eubey> myu speakers were all the way up dcause i couldnt hear anything, then bam one settitng did it
[08:41] <Wimpog> Flannel: I just put my small perl script into /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ and when I type the url, the script does not execute but downloads
[08:41] <nexous> That program is for if the windows and linux are on the same drive..
[08:41] <silent_> eubey, good stuff
[08:42] <faileas> nexous: smb or windows file sharing then
[08:42] <shad0w1e> Wimpog, for one, the cgi module needs to be loaded. is it specified as a module in apache config?
[08:42] <nexous> Sorry, I should have said that
[08:42] <Flannel> Wimpog: you need to make sure it's +x
[08:42] <nexous> faileas: I'm running samba right now, it's working fine, except I cant save the files back to the drive.
[08:42] <Ericc> just use chmod for that
[08:42] <pmvalente> hello, can anybody help me with some tips to how to install ubuntu with another distro (debian)
[08:42] <Wimpog> Flannel: it is +x for sure
[08:42] <KromiX> I need some help with using MENCODER any1 good with it and all the commands for it?
[08:42] <faileas> nexous: sounds like a permissions issue
[08:42] <Wimpog> shad0w1e: how do I install/enable cgi module???
[08:43] <nexous> faileas: I figured that, but I'm not sure where to go about fixing it.
[08:43] <_eric`> anyone know why my onboard sound crackels at high volumes durring (explosion scenes and other loud events) while playing DivX ?
[08:43] <faileas> :( nor do i
[08:43] <silent_> _eric, it happens to me too
[08:43] <ferronica> How to install "C Compiler" in Ubuntu 7.04 to write small programmes, for practice
[08:43] <crdlb> KromiX, try #mplayer
[08:43] <shad0w1e> Wimpog, I have a line in my apache config that looks like this: LoadModule cgi_module              modules/mod_cgi.so .. although it is a different linux distro so it may not be exactly the same. do you have a section with a bunch of LoadModules?
[08:43] <silent_> adjust your volume settings, level things out..
[08:43] <nexous> faileas: Alright, I'll look around.
[08:43] <_eric`> silent_: so it's just the OSS driver....?
[08:43] <KromiX> thanks
[08:43] <PriceChild> !build-essential | ferronica
[08:43] <Wimpog> Flannel: Basically, what I want to be able to do is execute perl scripts in a browser in each of the user's cgi-bin directory as well as Webserver's main cgi-bin directory
[08:43] <SUDOBash2> ferronica> sudo apt-get install gcc
[08:43] <silent_> _eric, try leveling out your volumes, make sure none is too high
[08:44] <Kjellviz> sldkfj: nope, it doesent find it
[08:44] <sldkfj> /usr/share/pixmaps
[08:44] <ferronica> SUDOBash2: running this command it will do everything
[08:44] <shad0w1e> VISTA????? *barf*
[08:44] <eubey> faileas, what card is it
[08:44] <faileas> ralink r61
[08:44] <silent_> shadow are you using glx-new?
[08:44] <shad0w1e> silent_, probably need a reboot now, or just an X restart?
[08:44] <silent_> I might have to install vista... I NEED to play Crysis
[08:45] <Wimpog> shad0w1e: I don't have lines in apache.conf that have something like LoadModule... I got the latest server edition of ubuntu
[08:45] <faileas> i got it working, but the reception is crappy. i get 30% singal strength sitting NEXT to the router
[08:45] <Ericc> use xwine
[08:45] <silent_> x restart might work, reboot tho... make sure Driver = nvidia in xorg.conf
[08:45] <shad0w1e> Wimpog, hmmm
[08:45] <ferronica> PriceChild:   sudo apt-get install gcc
[08:45] <SUDOBash2> actually
[08:45] <faileas> on vista i can connect to it in the next room
[08:45] <ferronica> PriceChild: this command will do
[08:45] <Wimpog> shad0w1e: do you also have feisty?
[08:45] <eubey> faileas, is it a laptop or a tower?
[08:45] <PriceChild> ferret, build-essential will make sure you have all the important bits
[08:45] <PriceChild> ferronica, ^ eek
[08:45] <faileas> eubey: laptop
[08:45] <shad0w1e> Wimpog, thats not the configuration I'm looking at, so no
[08:45] <SUDOBash2> ferronica> sudo apt-get install build-essential
[08:45] <Wimpog> Flannel: do you use feisty?
[08:45] <PriceChild> ferronica, as in the package
[08:45] <eubey> you may be better off just buying a more linux compatyible card
[08:46] <Flannel> Wimpog: nope
[08:46] <shad0w1e> Wimpog, is apache config in /etc/httpd ?
[08:46] <SUDOBash2> belkin!
[08:46] <faileas> eubey: erm, its open sourced drivers ;p
[08:46] <faileas> the card just... had an attitude problem
[08:46] <Wimpog> shad0w1e: nope, even though httpd.conf exists, main config file is apache.conf
[08:47] <ferronica> SUDOBash2: i did "sudo apt-get install build-essential"  output --> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[08:47] <shad0w1e> Wimpog, I'm thinking I should take a pass because I don't have ubuntu server set up, although if you like I can keep throwing ideas at you, but someone who'se more familiar would probably know exactly where to look
[08:47] <Mikeh> if I partition my /home partition without editing my fstab will ubuntu still boot?
[08:47] <shad0w1e> I'd grep the apache config dir for "LoadModule" to find where they are specified
[08:47] <Wimpog> shad0w1e: thanks anyways
[08:47] <eubey> faileas, haha silly electronics; if it comes down to it, i have a netgear wg511t that was literally plug and play, so i highly reccomend that one if you cant figure ur railone out
[08:47] <faileas> eubey: it sorta works. its just tempremental as hell
[08:48] <eubey> faileas, yeah i had a LInksys card like that, i finally gave up on it cause it didnt support any of the aircrack_ng stuff
[08:48] <spike723_> anyone using k9copy?
[08:48] <shad0w1e> exit
[08:48] <shad0w1e> woopsi
[08:48] <silent_> shadow, wrong window
[08:48] <ReSuBa> hi how can i find my network card     its not  in   /dev/vmnet0
[08:49] <faileas> eubey: i just want it working so i can update the system without needing to use the cable ;p
[08:49] <silent_> shadow, have you installed glx-new and rebooted? remember to make sure Driver = nvidia in /etc/X11/xorg.confg
[08:49] <ReSuBa> non of you know?
[08:49] <ReSuBa> wow
[08:49] <ReSuBa> didnt expect that
[08:49] <eubey> faileas, yeah sry i dunno what could be goin wrong
[08:49] <tuxsplaymate> resuba: do an "lspci -v"
[08:50] <faileas> tis ok
[08:50] <faileas> at least i got the drivers sorted ;p
[08:50] <kidvid> I'm using Dapper.  I keep reading that the Update Manager is supposed to tell me that a new version (feisty) is available, but it hasn't.  Is it supposed to?
[08:50] <Koba> Does anyone know how to set the system setting for the mouse wheel speed?
[08:51] <Mikeh> if I partition my /home partition without editing my fstab will ubuntu still boot??
[08:51] <silent_> koba it's a part of X, not sure
[08:51] <silent_> check xorg.conf settings
[08:51] <ReSuBa> tuxsplaymate:  i did that and it did show me  the stuff  but  my vmware is looking for it in /dev/vmnet0      what would i change  i change it to
[08:51] <Koba> silent_ Yeah, I was either thinking GTK or X
[08:52] <silent_> search it on the ubuntu forums, its gotta be on there
[08:52] <Koba> I'm going to write a python script for it when I find it (I searched all over the forums, no one has a solution)
[08:52] <silent_> hmm
[08:52] <Koba> The only solution is for firefox, because it can set its own scroll speed
[08:53] <shad0w1e> silent_, success!
[08:53] <tuxsplaymate> ReSuBa: do you mean your card isn't actually at /dev/vmnet0 or do you mean that it is but VMware isn't finding it?
[08:53] <silent_> got the new drivers working?
[08:53] <Ericc> I'm wondering what you guys use for torrents with ubuntu?
[08:53] <shad0w1e> well sorta.... now my 2nd screen became my primary, but you know... i think i can probably take it from here
[08:53] <shad0w1e> I figured the "new" driver was for the 8800's n stuff
[08:53] <silent_> cool, didnt have to do that annoying library import after all
[08:53] <tuxsplaymate> Ericc - deluge torrent client
[08:53] <Koba> Ericc: I use uTorrent with wine, it works great
[08:53] <tuxsplaymate> i think its at www.deluge-torrent.org
[08:53] <silent_> yea, it is, though its probably backward compatible to some extent
[08:53] <silent_> I'm running a 8800 GTS with glx-new
[08:53] <tuxsplaymate> deluge is a uTorrent-alike
[08:54] <shad0w1e> interesting, so they use the same driver.
[08:54] <silent_> looks like it, yep
[08:54] <ReSuBa> tuxsplaymate:   thats where  vmware is looking for it but iam not sure    where my card can be located
[08:54] <aubade> Anyone had issues with the installer freezing as it probes for SCSI disks? Alternative disc's text-only that is.
[08:54] <shad0w1e> i wonder if i can just copy my xorg.conf from my other distro over here and it would just work :)
[08:54] <silent_> man, I did so much work on this OS last night, there's not much left to do
[08:54] <silent_> shadow, no
[08:54] <shad0w1e> :-(
[08:54] <shad0w1e> getting dual screens set up was a pain
[08:54] <Koba> tuxsplaymate: Yes, but does deluge allow forced protocol encryption? and legacy connections?
[08:55] <silent_> its a bad idea to mix distro files, you can probably import snippets though, for settings you want
[08:55] <shad0w1e> ill wiki it i guess
[08:55] <shad0w1e> I did that last time..
[08:55] <soothsay> Koba: libtorrent (which Deluge uses) does support encrypted connections
[08:55] <Koba> Alright
[08:55] <soothsay> Koba: rasterbar-libtorrent specifically
[08:55] <h4wk0> How do i change owner of /dev/sda3
[08:55] <silent_> yay, longhorn is almost done downloading
[08:55] <ReSuBa> tuxsplaymate>  ?
[08:55] <tuxsplaymate> Koba: I don't know, does it?
[08:55] <shad0w1e> silent_, on the subject of video cards. one of my outputs is more powerful than the other, i.e. my primary screen should be hooked into the better one. how do i know which is the better one ?
[08:56] <silent_> h4k0, chown
[08:56] <soothsay> Koba: I'm not sure if Deluge has incorporated the option yet.
[08:56] <silent_> h4wk0*
[08:56] <tuxsplaymate> ReSuBa: Yeah, sorry, erm.... do you know what device in your /dev/ is your ethernet card?
[08:56] <ReSuBa> iam not sure its there
[08:56] <Koba> soothsay: Yeah, I just asked because I need that option, badly
[08:56] <Koba> uTorrent does it
[08:56] <silent_> shadow, both ports should be equal
[08:56] <Koba> so until then, I have to stick with uTorrent
[08:56] <shad0w1e> silent_, oh. i remember my old card they werent.
[08:56] <tuxsplaymate> well go and hug uTorrent then
[08:57] <soothsay> Koba: Shaw throttles?
[08:57] <Koba> Woah sparky... You sound like your getting offended...?
[08:57] <silent_> I'm pretty sure rendering on either port shares resources equally
[08:57] <Koba> soothsay: Yes, shaw throttles
[08:57] <h4wk0> chown wont change it!
[08:57] <tuxsplaymate> Someone must know a command to search for an ethernet card? Grep etc
[08:57] <silent_> but if it is more powerful it will be closest to the mobo
[08:57] <shad0w1e> many cards ago i remember looking into it. and each one was driven by a different processor... at least i think
[08:57] <ReSuBa> tuxsplaymate>  how can i find out witch device in my   /dev  is  my card?
[08:57] <silent_> h4wk0, "sudo chown"?
[08:57] <shad0w1e> it was AT$ tho
[08:58] <Ericc> chown -r for recursive
[08:58] <tuxsplaymate> ReSuBa: I'm sure theres a simple command, but i'm not the font of all knowledge, give me a second
[08:58] <silent_> why do you want to chown your devices?
[08:58] <shad0w1e> silent_, thanks for the help.
[08:58] <silent_> yea np
[08:58] <ferronica> PriceChild: what i install
[08:58] <Koba> Oh ummm, where is the setting to change the system font?
[08:58] <silent_> preferences > fonts
[08:58] <ferronica> PriceChild: for C compiler
[08:58] <soothsay> Koba: I just check, it looks like Deluge doesn't support protocol encryption yet.
[08:59] <ReSuBa> tuxsplaymate>   :)  sure i will wait
[08:59] <Koba> silent_: lol, now I feel like a dumbass
[08:59] <silent_> :P
[08:59] <PriceChild> ferronica, build-essential
[08:59] <tuxsplaymate> ReSuBa: try ifconfig
[08:59] <tuxsplaymate> or netstat
[08:59] <BigToe7000> quick
[08:59] <ferronica> PriceChild: which build-essential should i install how could i know
[08:59] <BigToe7000> how do I delete an account in ubuntu?
[08:59] <BigToe7000> in terminal?
[08:59] <PriceChild> ferronica, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[09:00] <silent_> remuser?
[09:00] <BigToe7000> I need this quick
[09:00] <BigToe7000> thanks
[09:00] <silent_> i think
[09:00] <ferronica> PriceChild: i did
[09:00] <shine> hai
[09:00] <BigToe7000> nope silent_ :(
[09:00] <soothsay> BigToe7000: deluser
[09:00] <silent_> ahh thats the one
[09:00] <BigToe7000> thanks
[09:00] <ferronica> PriceChild: output -----> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[09:00] <soothsay> BigToe7000: You probably have to delete their files separately
[09:00] <PriceChild> ferronica, then you have it
[09:00] <silent_> no
[09:00] <tuxsplaymate> do you have /dev/eth0 or eth1 present?
[09:00] <ferronica> PriceChild: okay after that
[09:01] <nitro4ce> hi. gnome doesn't remember the last possition of the gedit window after i close it. (when i open it again, it appears at the top left corner of the screen)
[09:01] <silent_> man deluser, it has options for removing files
[09:01] <soothsay> BigToe7000: You can also do System->Administration->Users and Groups
[09:01] <nitro4ce> btw, the same happens with the terminal. nautilus doesn't have this issue.
[09:01] <BigToe7000> ok guys
[09:01] <silent_> deluser --remove-home --remove-all-files
[09:01] <BigToe7000> now how do I end the 200 'md5sum /dev/zero
[09:01] <BigToe7000> processes?
[09:01] <BigToe7000> in terminal
[09:01] <shine> hi
[09:01] <silent_> kill?
[09:01] <BigToe7000> because I'm using ubuntu server
[09:01] <_eric`> ps
[09:01] <PriceChild> BigToe7000, sudo killall md5sum
[09:01] <_eric`> kill id#
[09:01] <BigToe7000> thanks
[09:01] <peter_> hello
[09:01] <shine> kill all
[09:02] <tuxsplaymate> http://www.sourcemage.org/node/1004
[09:02] <silent_> ps -aux to get pid then kill dash nine
[09:02] <BigToe7000> PriceChild, no process killed
[09:02] <peter_> hello
[09:02] <PriceChild> BigToe7000, don't give out ssh access to random people next time ;)
[09:02] <silent_> ps -aux
[09:02] <PriceChild> BigToe7000, "top" what's the name of the processes?
[09:02] <BigToe7000> oh wait
[09:02] <BigToe7000> when I killed his ssh process
[09:02] <silent_> BigToe7000, ps -aux, kill id
[09:02] <BigToe7000> it killed all his processes too :S
[09:03] <BigToe7000> never mind
[09:03] <erUSUL> BigToe7000: use /etc/security/limits.conf to limit the processes a user can spawn
[09:03] <soothsay> silent_: Yeah, that won't work to well if he had 200 of them
[09:03] <silent_> wait, you gave out ssh access to your system?
[09:03] <peter_> sorry can somebody help me, im trying to get beryl to work, but can'T manage this
[09:03] <silent_> ROFL
[09:03] <BigToe7000> silent_, to the owner of the IRC network I linked to
[09:03] <Sebs> Hey everyone!!!
[09:03] <BigToe7000> :S
[09:03] <PriceChild> Peter, #ubuntu-effects
[09:03] <tuxsplaymate> peter: ask in #ubuntu-effects
[09:03] <peter_> thanks
[09:03] <tuxsplaymate> good work, PriceChild
[09:03] <ferronica> PriceChild: after that what next step
[09:04] <silent_> I actually have ssh ports open to my linux server :O
[09:04] <shad0w1e> silent_, sweet, i got dual disp working!
[09:04] <silent_> kewl
[09:04] <shad0w1e> requires 3d tho
[09:04] <sldkfj> ferronica, go find a deb file and try it out
[09:04] <shad0w1e> it says my refresh is 50hz tho. do i need to worry about that, or is that number off?
[09:04] <shad0w1e> im on twinview
[09:05] <silent_> probly should be 60hz, but 50hz wont hurt anything
[09:05] <juanbond> if i have a set of files with the name of testing-123, how can i rename all of those files with testing123 to testing321 ?
[09:05] <shad0w1e> silent_, I'd like my secondary (CRT) to be 75hz, if possible..
[09:05] <kikr_> Gaim keeps shutting down on its on for some reason...
[09:05] <silent_> crt should be 85
[09:05] <shad0w1e> or 85
[09:05] <soothsay> juanbond: Can you be more specific about the pattern?
[09:05] <Sebs> Excuse me guys, I just downloaded the Ubuntu CD image, burnt it, and even though the internal CD check says it's ok, the installation fails due to a faulty cd at 69ish percent. I tried following the instructions depicted here ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows ) but it's no good. Any ideas on how I can install Ubuntu with the Iso I have, from my own Hard drive? Thanks so much.
[09:05] <soothsay> juanbond: Are all the files exactly identical?
[09:05] <ferronica> sldkfj: i am talking about program like Borland c
[09:05] <Sebs> (Woah thats some long text, I do apologize)
[09:05] <juanbond> I'm sorry.
[09:05] <silent_> Sebs, download a new iso
[09:05] <shad0w1e> but it doesnt seem to be flickring the way a 50/60hz wiould
[09:05] <ferronica> sldkfj: where i can write programme
[09:06] <crdlb> shad0w1e, nvidia abuses the refresh rate in twinview
[09:06] <Koba> Hmmm, before I go testing this out, does anyone know for sure what this option in xorg.conf does? "Option		"ZAxisMapping"	"4 5"" <- I am hoping for scroll speed, but who knows.
[09:06] <crdlb> shad0w1e, it's not really 50
[09:06] <shad0w1e> so I think I'm getting more than 50 despite the fact that it says 50
[09:06] <shad0w1e> ah figured.
 BigToe7000: use /etc/security/limits.conf to limit the processes a user can spawn
[09:06] <SUDOBash2> sebs you might want to check your ide cable
[09:06] <BigToe7000> hmm
[09:06] <silent_> shadow the key to linux... if it works, don't touch it
[09:06] <SUDOBash2> and reburn the disc
[09:06] <BigToe7000> might try that
[09:06] <shad0w1e> thanx
[09:06] <juanbond> They are like: Windows-XP-SP2.vmx and then Windows-XP-SP2-f00x.vmdk where x is a sequential number.
[09:06] <shad0w1e> any way i can get an accurate read?
[09:06] <sirfred> Koba: I think it's just the emulated buttons for the mouse wheel.
[09:06] <Sebs> Well, my CD burner is known for it's stupidity. That's why I wanted to find an alternative to using it.
[09:07] <SUDOBash2> flashdrive
[09:07] <juanbond> I'm basically trying to rename my virtual machine files to match my new virtual machine.
[09:07] <sirfred> Koba: If you reverse the order, the wheel will work reversed.
[09:07] <silent_> koba, zaxismapping enables scroll, doesn't control speed, you need another setting for that
[09:07] <silent_> i dont know what though
[09:07] <Koba> sirfred: Ok, well, I'll keep looking then, I have a hunch this is in the gnome settings, not X
[09:07] <Jordan_U> Sebs, Are you trying to install without a CD?
[09:07] <silent_> or if its possible
[09:07] <Sebs> Exactly, Jordan_U, that's what I'm trying to do.
[09:07] <SUDOBash2> his cd is being sketcy
[09:07] <shad0w1e> Sebs, DVD-Burners cost ~ $30 for a desktop one, on newegg. it isnt worth putting up with ANY bs for that price!
[09:07] <soothsay> juanbond: And what is an example of the new name?
[09:07] <SUDOBash2> sketchy
[09:07] <Jordan_U> !install | Sebs
[09:07] <ubotu> Sebs: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

[09:07] <juanbond> VMPV001-VM01
[09:08] <ferronica> sldkfj: where is Borland c
[09:08] <shad0w1e> ubotu, indeed it can. mine is installed in an image on my NTFS partition
[09:08] <juanbond> I need to rename Windows-XP-SP2 with VMPV001-VM01
[09:08] <Sebs> Hehe. That's a great call, Shad0w1e, but sadly my country is not very friendly with the dollar currency. That would be quite an investment for me at the moment heh.
[09:08] <shad0w1e> I used some weird installer off of XP
[09:08] <shad0w1e> Sebs, lol sorry
[09:08] <Jordan_U> shad0w1e, ubotu is a bot :)
[09:08] <sirfred> I think my sata drive is not working fine under ubuntu. What speed should I expect for UDMA-100 ?
[09:08] <brohan> Hi, my sound suddenly stopped working.. alsamixer kinda went all funny.. so I rebooted and it still isn't working, all my levels are 100% and music won't play with mplayer or anything
[09:08] <soothsay> juanbond: So you want Windows-XP-SP2-f001.vmdk to map to VMPV001-VM01?
[09:09] <sirfred> hdparm -t /dev/sda gives me no more than 29-31 MB/sec
[09:09] <juanbond> sorry soothsay... not to map to it.. i want to rename the files that contain Windows-XP-SP2 with VMPV001-VM01
[09:09] <brohan> Can anyone help with my sound issue?
[09:09] <shad0w1e> crdlb, do you know of any way to get an accurate refresh readout?
[09:09] <juanbond> I was thinking of doing a renaming with a grep?
[09:09] <BigToe7000> erUSUL, can you recommend a good limit for CPU time?
[09:10] <Sebs> Well I guess I'll just see if I can make it work using a Flashdrive then.
[09:10] <soothsay> juanbond: Okay so you want to replace every occurence of Windows-XP-SP2 with VMPV001-VM01 ?
[09:10] <juanbond> Yes :)
[09:10] <ferronica> sldkfj:
[09:10] <soothsay> juanbond: No not grep
[09:10] <Ernz> Hello,  I am having trouble with music-applet 2.10 for exaile
[09:10] <Ernz> It finally compiled and installed without any errors, but I can't see an entry for it in the "Add to panel" app. Any ideas anyone? This is really doing my nut in. Any ideas?
[09:10] <erUSUL> BigToe7000: i only limited the number of processes to avoid fork bombs
[09:10] <Sebs> Thanks guys, take lots of care :)
[09:10] <BigToe7000> erUSUL_, to how many?
[09:10] <crdlb> shad0w1e, no, sorry. I only know about the twinview 50Hz thing because I heard it from RAOF
[09:10] <ferronica> PriceChild: i am talking about program like Borland c
[09:11] <shad0w1e> ah
[09:11] <shad0w1e> so it always says 50 apparently
[09:11] <PriceChild> ferronica, if it has other dependencies then install them
[09:11] <Mikeh> what isa the ;argest size a ext3 part can be?
[09:11] <sldkfj> ferronica, you need to learn to use a search tool.  In ubuntu for programs that are available the most perfect place to start is called Synaptic, it ahs a great search tool for all packages that are available to be loaded and installed.
[09:11] <soothsay> juanbond: One sec
[09:11] <erUSUL> BigToe7000: i used 1000 but that probaby is too high for a ssh user...
[09:11] <silent_> crdlb, do you know of a way to view actual frequency, not what the gui says?
[09:12] <dv83r> im looking for help on VirtualBox for unbuntu, i have installed it, as well as a copy of XP, but cant seem to copy files from my cdrom onto the XP virtual drive
[09:12] <ShackJack> Mikeh - no practical limit
[09:13] <Mikeh> thanks
[09:13] <thug> what do i need to install to get back the " extract here " entry in click right menu while clicking on a rar file ?
[09:13] <juanbond> soothsay, i'm doing a man on rename.. seems that can take a regex
[09:13] <shad0w1e> whats the command to access the nvidia GUI tool? Im trying to reposition my screens a little bit very much
[09:13] <soothsay> juanbond: No. You want to use either mmv or zmv from Zsh
[09:13] <Mikeh> and if I resize my /home part will there be an issue?
[09:13] <boubou> #/join #ubuntu-fr
[09:13] <BigToe7000> erUSUL, thanks.
[09:14] <BigToe7000> also, how do you broadcast a message to all users on a PC?
[09:14] <soothsay> juanbond: I can tell you the command for zmv off the top of my head, but you have to run install zsh
[09:14] <shad0w1e> holy feist! my firefox resizes itself as i drag it onto the 2nd screen to fit the new height!! even M$ doesnt do that! i am thoroughty impressed!
[09:14] <BigToe7000> using terminal?
[09:14] <Sebs> Neh... I just realized my pendrive is only 512mb big... So, anyone has any idea on how to install the Iso I have, without using a CD drive? Thanks once again.
[09:14] <soothsay> juanbond: I'm looking at mmv at how to do it in mmv which is a smaller install
[09:14] <Flannel> !install | Sebs

[09:14] <tbuss> I have a very noob question. How do change the option in gedit to stop overwriting text when I make changes? If I need to insert text in front of other text
[09:15] <Flannel> Sebs: the first link there lists a bunch of methods, see if any work for you
[09:15] <shad0w1e> INS key??
[09:15] <BigToe7000> tbuss, try pressing the Insert key on your keyboard
[09:15] <Sebs> Flannel, thanks, but I have been through that documentation already.
[09:15] <Mikeh> press the insert key tbuss
[09:15] <silent_> nvidia-settings
[09:15] <sldkfj> tbuss, the insert key is like a toggle
[09:15] <Flannel> Sebs: You could get the minimal ISO and put that on your pendrive
[09:15] <Sebs> I'm following instructions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows yet they don't seem to work, or maybe I'm messing it up.
[09:15] <shad0w1e> silent_, thanks
[09:15] <erUSUL> BigToe7000: no problem
[09:16] <tbuss> thankyou everyone,
[09:16] <BigToe7000> also, how do you broadcast a message to all users logged in using terminal?
[09:16] <sldkfj> or the clapper if you have one of those
[09:16] <penguin42> I notice there is a new kernel-image out but kernel-generic doesn't seem to depend on it - why?
[09:16] <sldkfj> 'clap on / clap off'
[09:16] <Mikeh> I'm trying to install the latest driver from nvidia but it says I have an x server running?
[09:16] <Flannel> Sebs: Did you try the alternate CD?
[09:16] <silent_> shadow, not sure if there's an option in there for it tho,
[09:16] <Watchman_> hey guys, im trying to install Ubuntu Studio and im using partition magic to divide my D:\ drive in two, one for my linux area. And PM is saying to me that its better chose EXT2 than EXT3 file system. what shoud i choose?
[09:16] <Sebs> Well, as long as it's a "CD" it won't be any good.
[09:16] <soneil> BigToe7000, wall should do the job. you have to pipe your message into it, however
[09:16] <Flannel> Sebs: but yeah, the minimal (or even server) CD will fit on your thumbdrive
[09:17] <Mikeh> I'm sorry
[09:17] <juanbond> i'll look into those commands.. thanks soothsay
[09:17] <Sebs> That sounds interesting, Flannel.
[09:17] <Ericc> CPU went crazy last night, so I tried solving the prob.. anyone here to help?
[09:17] <erUSUL> Watchman_: ext3
[09:17] <bur[n] er> Watchman_: ext3 is bettter, but don't use partition tragic... use gparted :)  it's on the ubuntu livecd
[09:17] <BigToe7000> soneil, so do I just wall hi | second line | another line?
[09:17] <codename_> Hey can I ask a question?
[09:17] <gan|y|med> hi
[09:17] <Flannel> !ask | codename_
[09:17] <ShackJack> hello
[09:17] <ubotu> codename_: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[09:17] <gan|y|med> i have problems compiling/modprobing fglrx with envy (using feisty, kernel 2.6.21). i found this thread that solves the problem with compiling fglrx - http://www.phoronix.net/forums/archive/index.php/t-1033.html
[09:18] <codename_> Well the thing is for the past month, I've been trying to install my drivers using different methods.
[09:18] <gan|y|med>  but now i cannot modprobe it: 'fglrx: Unknown symbol paravirt_ops'
[09:18] <thug> why i cannot extract rar , tar files while i right click on the files ? there should be a " extract here " entry isnt it ?
[09:18] <Mikeh> I'm trying to install the latest driver from nvidia but it says I have an x server running?
[09:18] <Watchman_> the problem is....i dont want to use gparted...shoot on me...im a windows user...and i want to install linux in my computer without kill my "dark windows side" of it....
[09:18] <codename_> And one time I used AutoMatix and it completley made me reinstall Ubuntu using the LiveCD
[09:18] <codename_> then Envy, it seemed to work, but it was just REALLY glitchy
[09:18] <bur[n] er> Watchman_: you wont' "kill" windows... you just resize it
[09:18] <soneil> BigToe7000, for multiple lines, try " cat <<EOF | wall"  .. type out your message, then enter EOF for the final line
[09:18] <codename_> then one time i tried to do it manually and messed everything up
[09:18] <erUSUL> Mikeh: you have to stop it and do it from cli 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop'
[09:18] <soothsay> juanbond: zmv -n 'Windows-XP-SP2-(*).vmdk' 'VMPV001-VM01-${1}.vmdk'
[09:18] <tannerld> whats a good replacement file browsers/manager (nautilus)?
[09:18] <codename_> my question is, how do I install WORKING Nvidia DRIVERS
[09:19] <codename_> lol
[09:19] <Mikeh> thanks
[09:19] <shad0w1e> krap. now my firefox isnt doing it. I think it was probably set to maximize only on height or something. how do i do that again?
[09:19] <Mikeh> erUSUL, thanks
[09:19] <Flannel> !minimal | Sebs
[09:19] <ubotu> Sebs: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[09:19] <Watchman_> it's not so simple...i thought would be simple using PM...and everythime i think its easy..theres anoter detail they are asking about...
[09:19] <BigToe7000> soneil, how do I seperate the lines?
[09:19] <Emanuele74x1> dsd
[09:19] <Sebs> Flannel: If I install the minimal ISO, using my pendrive, will I be able to get the additional packages from the big iso I own, or will I have to download them?
[09:19] <codename_> Hey Flannel.
[09:19] <gan|y|med> codename_: hi, what ubuntu version and what envy version do you use?
[09:19] <bur[n] er> Watchman_: it is simple... :)
[09:19] <soothsay> juanbond: If I understand your question correctly, that will do what you want with zmv (-n will not actually do anything, only show you want will be done).
[09:19] <silent_> anyone here know if there's a way to set Logitech G5 buttons to X actions? I want tilt wheel left/right to cycle workspaces
[09:19] <soneil> BigToe7000, just hit enter.   it'll keep accepting input until you type EOF
[09:19] <Flannel> Sebs: You're big ISO isn't available at boot time.  You'll have to download them
[09:19] <codename_> Hi Gan, I use Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper LTS
[09:20] <Watchman_> i was planning to simulate step by step a gparted partioningin using virtugal box...to write down the screens and follow it later....someone could help me doing that privately or on msn?
[09:20] <soothsay> juanbond: Give me a minute I can tell you mmv equivalent

[09:20] <soothsay> juanbond: nmv -n 'Windows-XP-SP2-*.vmdk' 'VMPV001-VM01-#1.vmdk'
[09:20] <gan|y|med> codename_: what's the problem. couldn't follow everything. but i am currently fighting with my ati drivers...
[09:20] <shad0w1e> anyway to maximize a windows height but not width?
[09:21] <codename_> The problem is I can't get them to work, one time I installed them I couldn't get to my Login Screen
[09:21] <Watchman_> and yes...if its not graphical usign interface step i cant folow it (its being hard enough alreayd being gui-ded) lol
[09:21] <codename_> the other, It was sooo slow, I couldn't even change my desktop background without having leftover pieces of my previous one
[09:21] <codename_> It could be my processor for the fact that it's 1.8GHZ
[09:22] <codename_> i dunno
[09:22] <gan|y|med> codename_: i am currently running with 50% cpu usage ALL THE TIME ;(
[09:22] <soneil> BigToe7000, see http://pastebin.ca/514465  .. should make it a little more clear
[09:22] <codename_> No but this is UNUSABLE.
[09:22] <codename_> lol
[09:22] <gan|y|med> codename_: what is the problem right now?
[09:22] <soothsay> juanbond: Anyway, I'm not 100% sure I understood the translation you are trying to do so make sure to use the -n flag to see if that's what you want
[09:22] <codename_> Nothing, I reinstalled Ubuntu, now I have no Drivers.
[09:22] <codename_> The past time's I had to reinstall Ubuntu.
[09:22] <gan|y|med> so vesa?
[09:22] <codename_> So I'm trying to get the Drivers to work.
[09:23] <gan|y|med> download the latest envy debs
[09:23] <silent_> what drivers?
[09:23] <codename_> NVIDIA Dirvers
[09:23] <Watchman_> someone can help me doing the partition on pvt or msn?
[09:23] <BigToe7000> ah ok soneil, thanks :D
[09:23] <silent_> ez
[09:23] <openJazz> hi. is anybody aware of a pci or usb wireless n ethernet controller compatible w/ ubuntu
[09:23] <gan|y|med> and ati for me
[09:23] <soothsay> juanbond: You can probably see from the syntax what the commands are going to do
[09:23] <openJazz> even w/ ndiswrapper
[09:23] <silent_> apt-get update/upgrade apt-get install nvidia-glx
[09:23] <Seb962> Ok guys, thanks again for your time!! Ttyl.
[09:23] <gan|y|med> not if you want to have the newest drivers
[09:24] <Clarrisa_2008> where is a howto from switching between CLI and XFCE GDM?
[09:24] <silent_> gan, the newest stable drivers from nvidia are packaged
[09:24] <gan|y|med> silent_: any idea about this?  'fglrx: Unknown symbol paravirt_ops'
[09:24] <Clarrisa_2008> I have an old box and don't need the GUI running all of the time
[09:24] <gan|y|med> in dapper?
[09:24] <dv83r> while running XP in vitrual box i get an error tryin to copy files from my CD to the XP system
[09:24] <gan|y|med> i doubt that
[09:25] <silent_> you're still using dapper?
[09:25] <gan|y|med> he is
[09:25] <juanbond> hey soothsay, i got it working with perl rename command...  rename -v 's/Windows-XP-SP2/VMPV001-VM01/' *
[09:25] <silent_> ...why?
[09:25] <qaws> Hi, how can I set up a printer? It should use LPR protocol. Settings in Windows - connection to localhost - port standart tcp/ip, printer ip 192.168.1.1, port name IP_192.168.1.1, protocol - LPR, queue name - p1, lpr byte counting - disabled, snmp status - disabled
[09:25] <gan|y|med> and the newest ati drivers are not packaged in feisty
[09:25] <Clarrisa_2008> where is a howto from switching between CLI and XFCE GDM?  I have an old box and don't need the GUI running all of the time
[09:25] <silent_> its ATI, don't expect much
[09:25] <otero> what are some must have apps for ubuntu?
[09:25] <gan|y|med> ok, that doesn't help me though
[09:25] <Lhademmor> Hi, I'm trying to compile Pidgin, but I have no clue how to do. Do any of you know of any good links or something?
[09:25] <gan|y|med> i mean, i am used to it
[09:25] <secret> no Graphic Card dissin
[09:26] <_nix_> Clarrisa_2008: Press Ctrl-Alt-F1 to switch to an unused cli
[09:26] <sldkfj> gan|y|med, I think he uses nvidia too, which doesn't have fglrx.  Nvidia has built in glx
[09:26] <otero> pidgin? isint gaim the same thing?
[09:26] <openJazz> Clarrissa_2008: why not just install the server version and manually `startx`
[09:26] <soothsay> juanbond: Okay good. I don't think I've heard of 'rename' before. It looks useful
[09:26] <Lhademmor> otero: I dunno, that's what I wanna find out
[09:26] <gan|y|med> the thing is, it is the kernel developers that are making my life hard
[09:26] <FlashNet3> how do i add user to ssh?
[09:26] <silent_> secret, I whole-heartedly support ATI, the r600 is going to be a revolutionary step in the company's development, I'm just saying ATI's Linux support is less than that of nvidia
[09:26] <Ericc> useradd name
[09:26] <geoaxis> hello people
[09:27] <Ericc> then passwd sets password of user
[09:27] <secret> silent_: true
[09:27] <Ademan> i thought nvu was in the repositories but i can't seem to find it...
[09:27] <gan|y|med> pls dont engage into that...
[09:27] <dv83r> while running XP in vitrual box i get an error tryin to copy files from my CD to the XP system
[09:27] <_nix_> Clarrisa_2008: the following command removes GDM from startup: sudo for i in 2 3 4 5; do mv S99gdm K99gdm; done;
[09:27] <geoaxis> I deleted english langauge translations from ubuntu
[09:27] <otero> im pretty sure its the same thing, I use pidgin on my XP
[09:27] <_nix_> Clarrisa_2008: you can start gdm by issuing: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[09:27] <soothsay> Ericc: He wants to give a user ssh permission, not add a user to the system
[09:27] <Lhademmor> otero: There's bound to be some new feats in 2.x?
[09:27] <geoaxis> now when i start VLC in ubuntu it says  >> cannot set locale to ".
[09:27] <qaws> Hi, how can I set up a printer? It should use LPR protocol. Settings in Windows - connection to localhost - port standart tcp/ip, printer ip 192.168.1.1, port name IP_192.168.1.1, protocol - LPR, queue name - p1, lpr byte counting - disabled, snmp status - disabled
[09:28] <geoaxis> other than that vlc runs smooth
[09:28] <openJazz> has anybody gotten any wireless n card working yet?
[09:28] <geoaxis> any idea how i can get rid of this error
[09:28] <otero> probably, I like it for XP
[09:28] <otero> I want to install VLC
[09:28] <gan|y|med> so any experience with running fglrx on a new kernel (2.6.21)???
[09:28] <geoaxis> openJazz : shoot
[09:28] <jiii> I love Ubuntu.
[09:28] <geoaxis> openJazz:  wireless n card?
[09:28] <fxfitz> Hey whats a good program to burn ISO's in Ubuntu??
[09:28] <silent_> jiii me too
[09:28] <secret> XP is one of the most annoying OS'z ever! Especially that dam error reporting.
[09:29] <sldkfj> otero, they have an install how to for ubuntu on their site
[09:29] <otero> XP = wack
[09:29] <_nix_> i second that
[09:29] <soothsay> Does anyone know where I should be putting a firewall script to run on startup? /etc/iptables.up.rules seems to not work. I think it is because my ppp0 interface is not up by the time it is executed.
[09:29] <geoaxis> fxfitz: xcdroast for linux
[09:29] <geoaxis> k3b if you like kde
[09:29] <silent_> XP = windows 2000 + pretty
[09:29] <dv83r> while running XP in vitrual box i get an error tryin to copy files from my CD to the XP system
[09:29] <jiii> soothsay: Might be a hack:ish way to do it, but /etc/rc.local is executed last.
[09:29] <openJazz> geoaxis: yea, i heard about somebody using a card w/ the same chipset as the wn311b so i'm trying to use it w/ ndiswrapper
[09:29] <otero> im new to ubuntu so its still a lil hard for me
[09:29] <_nix_> place the script in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d or something
[09:29] <fxfitz> geoaxis, I prefer Gnome. O

[09:30] <djmaxmalta> how do i go on undernet server using xchat?

[09:30] <secret> Ok, spelling made it a little shit, but my point is clear.

[09:30] <fxfitz> geoaxis, Thank you! I'll give it a shot.
[09:30] <soothsay> _nix_: I was thinking about that, but is there another way to do it that doesn't run the rules every time the interface comes up?

[09:31] <otero> what do they mean make sure you have a universe mirror? when installing VLC
[09:31] <soothsay> jiii: Why hackish? Is there a more standard way to do it?
[09:31] <silent_> anyone volunteer as refs?
[09:31] <Trippen> can anyone help me with VLC and a sound problem ?
[09:32] <silent_> Trippen, probably

[09:32] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[09:32] <sldkfj> Trippen, not if you're trippin'
[09:32] <otero> what is a universe mirror when installing VLC?
[09:32] <gan|y|med> nobody has ever tried kernel 2.6.21 with ati drivers?? i cannot believe this...
[09:32] <silent_> repositories
[09:32] <Trippen> my sound in vlc when playing a movie has a bunch of cracking sounds like an old record sound from all other apps are fine

[09:33] <misieq> how do i reconfigure xorg under ubuntu 6.06?
[09:33] <otero> sldkfj, what would I add there?
[09:33] <PriceChild> !xconfig | misieq
[09:33] <jiii> soothsay: It is just based on a feeling. There _should_ be a way to do it in an "init" manner, and it is probably supported too, somehow, I simply do not know the correct way. I also know there is a program called "firestarter", however the daemon never started properly on my computer.
[09:33] <silent_> mplayer < VLC

[09:33] <gan|y|med> silent_: yeah, i see that most people aren't. sometimes i hate radical kernel developers
[09:33] <gan|y|med> just sometimes
[09:33] <Rodel> What is GCC?
[09:33] <penguin42> Rodel: The C compiler
[09:33] <silent_> Trippen, do you have a volume control on your panel?
[09:33] <habeeb> penguin42: not only C.
[09:33] <_nix_> gcc = gnu compiler collection
[09:33] <Trippen> silent_,  yes i do
[09:34] <silent_> doubleclick it

[09:34] <penguin42> habeeb: True, but it was a simple answer
[09:34] <Trippen>  ?
[09:34] <silent_> balance out Front and PCM
[09:34] <PriceChild> Lhademmor, /msg ubotu msgthebot
[09:34] <sldkfj> how'e that for a run-on sentence?
[09:34] <sldkfj> how's
[09:34] <silent_> and in VLC use as low volume as possible
[09:34] <Trippen> silent_,  what do you mean balance them out
[09:34] <silent_> make them equal, whatever volume you use
[09:35] <Rodel> has anyone here installed garnome?
[09:35] <openJazz> has anybody gotten an 802.11n or "draft n" or "wireless n" NIC to work?
[09:35] <Trippen> silent_,  so if i want them max i would put thyem both to max ?
[09:35] <silent_> yes
[09:35] <jiii> soothsay: You could try and see if firestarter is anything that you like. I personally always just put my rules in /etc/rc.local anyway, because they are so few and it is so simple.
[09:35] <silent_> and adjust vlc volume accordingly
[09:35] <Lhademmor> Jebus, I love Ubotu!
[09:35] <Trippen> silent_,  are you referring pcm .. and front mic ?
[09:35] <silent_> if there's still a problem make sure you have the latest OSS drivers and try ALSA as well
[09:36] <Trippen> silent_,  i use alsa ..
[09:36] <silent_> Trippen, ok good
[09:36] <silent_> Edit > preferences

[09:36] <Kevlar_Soul> help
[09:37] <Trippen> is it normal when changing the volume on xmms that it changes the volmue on the volume control in the panel is well ?
[09:37] <soothsay> jiii: Thanks but I don't want to use firestarter. I will probably end up using rc.local

[09:39] <wastedfluid> What's the command to activate your swap?  I don't know what to do.  Gparted shows it as NOT formatted.  But I just formatted it off the live cd.
[09:39] <PriceChild> Kevlar_Soul, are you using sudo?

[09:42] <neo__> Hi, do anyone know of a ti-89 like graph calculator for the gnome desktop? (if this is the wrong place to ask then please advise)
[09:42] <wastedfluid> spart? fpart? or something

[09:42] <sportman> hello
[09:42] <silent_> neo__ I would be interested in this as well... you could use a windows utility and wine it
[09:42] <Kevlar_Soul> PriceChild:  I tried it without chat on same
[09:42] <Ericc> try gxgears
[09:42] <Sh3r1ff> wastedfluid: /etc/fstab
[09:42] <Ericc> in the terminal
[09:43] <wastedfluid> ok; thanks man.
[09:43] <Kevlar_Soul> it says it cannot download repository
[09:43] <codename_> ok i got it, so if something goes wrong, I can restore my config file from the LiveCD
[09:43] <sldkfj> runjun,  /var/log/Xorg.0.log   it should show if it's activated
[09:43] <silent_> what would go wrong? what did you change?
[09:43] <new-B> i don't see icon install in my Desktop
[09:43] <codename_> no im trying to install my Nvidia Drivers
[09:43] <codename_> but sometimes it messes everything up
[09:43] <silent_> oh, fun
[09:43] <runjun> sldkfj thanks
[09:43] <silent_> yea, it did that to me
[09:43] <codename_> like I cant even get to the login screen
[09:43] <Ericc> if ur not sure if you have 3d acceleration run "glxgears"
[09:43] <codename_> oh rly
[09:43] <Kevlar_Soul> can I reinstall my synaptic or update repository
[09:44] <codename_> lemme guess you used Automatix?
[09:44] <illriginal> Hey guys, I have a wireless USB adapter (belkin) and I wanted to know if it's possible to get it to work?
[09:44] <silent_> if you're not that familiar with linux and how it works, maybe you should hold off on the install
[09:44] <SyL> what is the default username and password for sharing folders with smb?
[09:44] <codename_> ya think so?
[09:44] <silent_> I used synaptic and edited xorg
[09:44] <runjun> sorry how would I put that into the terminal?
[09:44] <codename_> but then that means no DIGG.COM for me
[09:44] <codename_> lol
[09:44] <silent_> why?
[09:44] <wastedfluid> Sh3r1ff:  I have a screenshot I want you to look at of Gparted if you could help me for a sec
[09:44] <codename_> Digg sucks without my GFX drivers
[09:44] <cables> SyL, there isn't. There are some weird issues with the default samba config.
[09:44] <codename_> its slow
[09:44] <codename_> lol
[09:44] <codename_> its ok
[09:44] <silent_> ah
[09:44] <codename_> :D
[09:44] <sldkfj> runjun,  you can try also what eric said,   in a terminal do    glxgears -printfps
[09:44] <cables> digg's comment pages take like 30 seconds to load for me
[09:44] <SyL> cables: so how do I access it?
[09:45] <cables> it's terrible
[09:45] <secret> good job g|y|med
[09:45] <silent_> were you using vesa?

[09:45] <Sh3r1ff> wastedfluid: where is the screenshot?
[09:45] <Sh3r1ff> tannerld: gftp
[09:45] <wastedfluid> tannerld: gftp
[09:45] <Kevlar_Soul> can one do a manual updatge?
[09:45] <cables> SyL, you have to edit a config file... I fixed it once for my friend, who uses Samba, but I forget what I did.
[09:45] <Kevlar_Soul> update?
[09:45] <Kevlar_Soul> manually
[09:45] <wastedfluid> Sh3r1ff:  give me a second.  I'm going to take it now
[09:45] <codename_> so any good sites to get music?
[09:45] <codename_> lol
[09:45] <aLeSD> hi all
[09:45] <SyL> ok, thanks...
[09:45] <jshriver> greetings
[09:45] <silent_> codename_, are you using vesa drivers now?'
[09:45] <codename_> since my drivers are completley screwed.
[09:45] <Do``> Could someone help me find out why every application fails to launch when i double click on a e.g. video file in Krusader?
[09:45] <jshriver> what modules have to be loaded to use USB memory drives?
[09:45] <codename_> Nah, you said hold off on them.
[09:45] <codename_> I think I will.
[09:45] <illriginal> codename: www.albumbase.com and download nicotine, that's a p2p program
[09:46] <silent_> vesa drivers are default
[09:46] <wastedfluid> Sh3r1ff: Nevermind.  I think swapon fixed it.. lol.
[09:46] <codename_> Is it safe?
[09:46] <aLeSD> what's the name of the application that let me install all the proprietary stuffs in ubuntu ? like codecs  etc etc
[09:46] <codename_> I don't wanna go to jail.
[09:46] <codename_> lol
[09:46] <silent_> you're probably using them right now
[09:46] <Desmo> guys. can i change the 2 menu bars in ubuntu to 1 single bar ??
[09:46] <wastedfluid> aLeSD: synaptics package manager?
[09:46] <Ericc> alesd I would like to know that too
[09:46] <codename_> Illriginal is it safe
[09:46] <kalon33> Kevlar_Soul: usually it should work correctly after a few minutes
[09:46] <aLeSD> lol ..
[09:46] <kalon33> did you try ?
[09:46] <illriginal> codename... unless you plan on downloading over 100,000 songs.. i wouldn't worry about it.
[09:46] <sldkfj> codename_, when a driver is screwed they help in nvidia's forum at their website
[09:46] <wastedfluid> Desmo: tried dragging them on right click / properties?  you can put them both at the top.. or bottom
[09:46] <GomoX> Hey
[09:47] <secret> Do'': Good question, happens to me alot with the same..
[09:47] <aLeSD> ok ... I can't read dvds with totem it says that need a plugin ... do you know which one ?
[09:47] <Nalleman> Is there anyone that knows what i have to do to get tv out running?
[09:47] <GomoX> How do I get subversion to know that my default CLI editor is vim and not nano??
[09:47] <codename_> Yeah I understand, but I'm really new to Linux (Like a month into it.)
[09:47] <secret> happens with firefox too
[09:47] <codename_> I've got the basics down.
[09:47] <Sh3r1ff> aLeSD: libdvdcss2
[09:47] <Desmo> i dont want both at top, i would like to see only one
[09:47] <Kevlar_Soul> What is the code for updating your repository?
[09:47] <sldkfj> jsut a thought...
[09:47] <codename_> but i cant compile my own KERNEL or anything
[09:47] <codename_> lol
[09:47] <aLeSD> yessss
[09:47] <Do``> secret: it mostly happens to video files to me.. the rest of the files can usually be opened by only 1 program
[09:47] <Desmo> if it is possible of course
[09:47] <jshriver> aLeSD, I know what you're talking about by forget the name, looking it up
[09:47] <illriginal> Does anyone know if Belkin's USB Wireless Adapter is compatible with Ubuntu Feisty?
[09:47] <Ericc> packetages are not a good idea sheriff
[09:47] <secret> I just restart, it then seems to fix itself
[09:48] <Sh3r1ff> Ericc: packetages?
[09:48] <Kevlar_Soul> COULD NOT DOWNLOAD ALL REPOSITORY INDEXES
[09:48] <Do``> secret: nothing helped here, i tried reassigning avi files to mplayer
[09:48] <Kevlar_Soul> Error
[09:48] <silent_> codename, if you use ubuntu, you will never have to compile a kernel in your life
[09:48] <silent_> :P
[09:48] <habeeb> !caps
[09:48] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[09:48] <Epistax> Howdy. Ubuntu did not recognize my monitor (marked it as generic) and so gave me limited resolution options. I know how to manually add them in xorg.conf, but I was wondering if I could instead tell Ubuntu what kind of monitor I have so it can figure it out for itself.  Is this possible, and if so how? Thanks!
[09:48] <Do``> secret: but that doesnt help either
[09:48] <MKS> is there any 'canned' package that migrates windows user settings (ie, outlook) to ubuntu just as their is on the initial installation?
[09:48] <Ericc> packages*
[09:48] <secret> what file extension are you trying to play
[09:48] <secret> ?
[09:48] <secret> avi?
[09:48] <secret> ok
[09:48] <Ericc> it can break ur system
[09:48] <PriceChild> Epistax, if it didn't figure it out on instillation... I doubt it can now. not until gutsy when we get xrandr 1.2 will it be any better :)
[09:48] <Do``> secret: mostly, yes
[09:48] <Sh3r1ff> Ericc: what do you mean packages are not a good idea?
[09:48] <kalon33> Kevlar_Soul: in a terminal : sudo apt-get update
[09:49] <silent_> Do, VLC
[09:49] <Ericc> its not a good idea to install codecs packages
[09:49] <MKS> I want to import users from XP to ubuntu
[09:49] <Do``> secret: the only thing i noticed is that it happens when there are more possibilities to open a program with
[09:49] <derrin> Does anyone know how to get the mic working with feisty on the thinkpad z61m?
[09:49] <Sh3r1ff> Ericc: why not?
[09:49] <Ericc> because it can break ur system
[09:49] <Epistax> PriceChild: Alright fair enough. :)
[09:49] <habeeb> MKS: import users?
[09:49] <silent_> derrin, nope, haven't done mic stuff yet sorry
[09:49] <PriceChild> Epistax, sorry. :)
[09:49] <Do``> secret: i dont want to use vlc :( is there any other possibility? mplayer works just fine when i start a video from the terminal
[09:49] <Sh3r1ff> Ericc: never had any problem with it
[09:49] <Do``> secret: or any other file manager
[09:49] <Ericc> luck boy...
[09:49] <habeeb> MKS: why not just create them?
[09:49] <Desmo> other question, im using an imac which has only 1 mouse button.. how do i acces my rightclick menu ??
[09:49] <Ericc> I had, and learned the hard way
[09:50] <MKS> habeeb: yes, i think so
[09:50] <Ericc> just check in google.. everyone says its not a good idea
[09:50] <secret> man I don't know, I'm more windows orientated, ask med or prince
[09:50] <MKS> i'm migrating from xp and want to bring favorites and email
[09:50] <jshriver> I can't remember the name, just remember you could use it to install 3rd party software Google EArth was one of them
[09:50] <silent_> Desmo, use a dif mouse, i hate those mice
[09:50] <habeeb> MKS: I mean.. what good will you get by importing users from XP?
[09:50] <Do``> secret: thanks
[09:50] <secret> silent
[09:50] <secret> ask silent
[09:50] <GomoX> hmm update-alternatives did it
[09:50] <wastedfluid> Sh3r1ff:  If I re-size my swap(Ubuntu set it up at @ 1.83gbs) to something like 500mb.. and I just reboot into ubuntu, do I have to turn the swap off then back on?  or will it just pick up from there?
[09:50] <Do``> silent_: are you around?
[09:50] <runjun> it showed some gears turning for glxgears and then printed some numbers, does that mean it's running? sorry total noob at this stuff
[09:50] <Flannel> MKS: If you install feisty, theres a part in the installer that you can do that
[09:50] <MKS> habeeb: I'm doing this for a friend and they want their favorites bringought
[09:51] <Desmo> silent: yes and buy an othr system... no seriously, any ideas?
[09:51] <MKS> yes, i'm already past the installer
[09:51] <Desmo> keyboard shortcut or something ?
[09:51] <MKS> I disconnected the XP drive when I did the install
[09:51] <habeeb> MKS: Aww...
[09:51] <geoaxis> ok here is the exact error : Locale not supported by C library.
[09:51] <geoaxis>         Using the fallback 'C' locale.
[09:51] <MKS> habeeb: I had issues with grub and it's on my second day with this!
[09:51] <Sh3r1ff> wastedfluid: it will detect the swap partition, so you don't have to do anything
[09:51] <habeeb> MKS: What issues?
[09:51] <_nix_> geoaxis: you probable have the language set to something like EN_<cc>
[09:51] <wastedfluid> Sh3r1ff: k.
[09:52] <Ericc> runjun: what fps are you getting?
[09:52] <MKS> habeeb: error 17, unknown format or such...
[09:52] <jshriver> aLeSD, it's called Automatix
[09:52] <runjun> 7400 fps
[09:52] <PriceChild> Kevlar_Soul, please kill any processes that may be using it, and make sure you use sudo.
[09:52] <Ericc> okay its working
[09:52] <Sh3r1ff> !automatix
[09:52] <geoaxis> _nix_: where can i check this (/etc/locale?
[09:52] <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
[09:52] <Ericc> congrats
[09:52] <habeeb> MKS: hm... it doesn't tell you what partition has the invalid format?
[09:52] <MKS> habeeb: I'm directiing it to boot off hd1 vs. hd0
[09:52] <_nix_> geoaxis: I selected English, India during install and my language was set to EN_IN. I get the same warning but everything works fine otherwise
[09:52] <jshriver> http://www.getautomatix.com/
[09:52] <silent_> /s -m irc.gamesurge.net
[09:52] <_nix_> geoaxis: just a sec
[09:53] <otero1> whats best bittorrent client for ubuntu?
[09:53] <PriceChild> jshriver, please don't suggest automatix in this channel
[09:53] <silent_> right... Gim
[09:53] <habeeb> otero1: "best"..
[09:53] <PriceChild> jshriver, see ubotu's message above
[09:53] <jshriver> sorry
[09:53] <Sh3r1ff> otero1: azureus
[09:53] <Desmo> wait i found my answer, F12 is same as rightclick for mac users :) thx anyway
[09:53] <MKS> habeeb: yes, it did... but it was not invalid... would not even boot off hd0, lots of problems
[09:53] <jshriver> for codecs just look at mplayers website
[09:53] <PriceChild> !mp3 | jshriver
[09:53] <otero1> thanks
[09:53] <runjun> alright it seems to be going thanks sldkfj and ericc
[09:53] <Kevlar_Soul> PriceChild:  im using sudo, sincerely I just turned on the computer and there is nothing else working except this chat
[09:53] <Ericc> runjun: not a prob enjoy linux
[09:53] <jshriver> What kernel modules have to be loaded to use a USB mass storage device?
[09:53] <aLeSD> mmm ... maybe I have to install external repository
[09:53] <habeeb> MKS: Have you tried using Lilo? Grub's syntax is complex and you may have messed it up.
[09:53] <MKS> habeeb: I'd like the installer sections that went out and got the xp users vs. just doing it manually
[09:53] <jshriver> for some reason when I plug in my key it doesnt show up
[09:53] <ubotu> jshriver: 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
[09:53] <PriceChild> Kevlar_Soul, well then I don't believe you :)
[09:54] <habeeb> MKS: I don't know how to do that.
[09:54] <_nix_> geoaxis: I dunno.. maybe there should be something in the settings panel in GNOME
[09:54] <MKS> habeeb: i went terminal, grub, root (hd1,0) and it failed
[09:54] <kitche> jshriver: see what dmesg syas about any usb device
[09:54] <MKS> that is  the correct command format
[09:54] <jshriver> dmesg and /var/log/messages dont say anything when I plug it in
[09:54] <silent_> jshriver, for multimedia, use VLC
[09:54] <geoaxis> _nix_: i did remove all english translations
[09:54] <MKS> habeeb: it kept thinking sd1 but its hd1
[09:54] <jshriver> silent_, thanks, I'm cool with multimedia was trying to help aLeSD
[09:54] <habeeb> MKS: you have two hard drivers?>
[09:54] <_nix_> geoaxis: oh.. k
[09:54] <silent_> ah
[09:54] <MKS> habeeb: yes
[09:55] <secret> So the helix player is an .rm player eqiv right?
[09:55] <jshriver> silent_, agree VLC is nice :)
[09:55] <MKS> habeeb: one xp (original) the other clean for ubuntu
[09:55] <secret> anyone?
[09:55] <jshriver> Now if I can get my memory key working
[09:55] <_nix_> geoaxis: that should not cause any less functionality however.. besides that warning
[09:55] <silent_> alright, I just installed Ventrilo, anyone have a server I can join?
[09:55] <juanbond> Why am I not able to ping my Ubuntu Server by hostname?
[09:55] <MKS> habeeb: there has to be a way for me to automate the process, just like they do in the install
[09:55] <aLeSD> do I have to add medibuntu repository ?
[09:56] <siloko> yo dudes
[09:56] <juanbond> I can ping it by IP but not hostname.. I'm trying to ping from Windows.
[09:56] <geoaxis> _nix_:  correct , no loss of functionality , just irritating error
[09:56] <kitche> juanbond: does the machine your pinging from now the hostname
[09:56] <PriceChild> aLeSD, have you read wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats ?
[09:56] <secret> use music player to play an mp3 it it cuts out, almost like it's buffering.
[09:56] <linuxnub> hey how can i get my drives to show up in "my computer"
[09:56] <aLeSD> ok sorry
[09:56] <habeeb> MKS: I don't understand what your GRUB problem has to do with the import of XP users..
[09:56] <kitche> juanbond: now/know have to put the machine in your host file for windows
[09:56] <tarelerulz> Does  Ndiswrapper have know problems with the gui config tools that come with Ubuntu 7.04?
[09:56] <_nix_> geoaxis: righto. as soon as I know how to change that., I'll let you know. :-)
[09:56] <juanbond> is there a way to broadcast that just like normal windows machines?

[09:57] <MKS> habeeb: it is the reason i was unable to import users during install... i had to remove the xp drive
[09:57] <PriceChild> bah
[09:57] <Nalleman> Is there anyone with a DELL inspiron with intel graphics that knows how to get tv out via the s video output?
[09:57] <Ericc> you mean using the windows shared folder juanbond?

[09:57] <Lhademmor> Dammit, I can't compile Pidgin
[09:57] <Thialfihar> Hallo-a.
[09:57] <habeeb> MKS: still... what do you hope to do with GRUB? GRUB is just a bootloader it won't import your users for you.
[09:57] <_nix_> Lhademmor: yeah something seems to be broken in there. I wasn't able to compile either.
[09:58] <_nix_> Lhademmor: :-(
[09:58] <juanbond> not sharing a folder, but being able to broadcast the hostname just like if i were to connect another windows machine to the network, it allows me to ping by computer name
[09:58] <Thialfihar> I'm on Feisty, right.. and when Java is running I often can't get any sound to work in other applications. Anyone got an idea why that is and how I could fix it?
[09:58] <habeeb> MKS: I, unfortunately, can't help you fix your import problem, but I still don't get what GRUB has to do with it.
[09:58] <Kjellviz> uhm, any idea why my volume control on the keyboard all of a sudden adjusts volume for microphone instead of master volume ?
[09:58] <patba1> hi, i'm getting "out of memory" errors and crashes since i upgraded to feisty. is increasing swap an option, and if so, how can i do it?
[09:58] <MKS> habeeb: forget grub. I understand it, but for some reason it was not working correctly
[09:58] <Lhademmor> _nix_: And it's when Gutsy arrives we get it in repos?
[09:58] <MKS> habeeb: at this point, all i want to do is import users and their settings
[09:58] <juanbond> from ubuntu, i can ping my laptop (joe-lt), but can not ping from my laptop to my ubuntu machine (vmpv001)
[09:58] <_nix_> Lhademmor: lets hope for it.
[09:59] <MKS> habeeb: i want to do it automatically, like they do during the install
[09:59] <Rodel> patba1: i believe you can expand swap space by expanding hte partition
[09:59] <patba1> Rodel: do you think increasing swap is a good way to go for this type of problem?
[09:59] <Fattay> Hey Guys. I've plugged in my Logitech USB headset.....and went to System>Preferences>Sound. I tested it, and I can hear the beep through the headphones...but how do I make sure the voice recording is working?
[09:59] <habeeb> MKS: I see. I can't help you with that. I thought it was a GRUB problem. Try asking again in the channel in case someone else can help you, or posting in the forums. I'm not really experienced in Feisty.
[09:59] <penguin42> juanbond: I just wonder from the name, is your ubuntu machine a VM on vmware or the like?
[09:59] <Rodel> patbam: no idea... i just got Ubuntu yesterday...
[09:59] <habeeb> brb
[09:59] <MKS> habeeb: ok, many thanks for your help

[10:00] <Lhademmor> :P
[10:00] <_nix_> kalon33: thanks..
[10:00] <shad0w1e> nice. now that 3d is working i can play unreal tournament :)
[10:01] <shad0w1e> its pretty good stuff
[10:01] <juanbond> my ubuntu machine is a physical box running vmware server.
[10:01] <_nix_> Lhademmor: would you like to trial run it? I'm on a dsl machine right now.
[10:01] <kalon33> you can download it at this link, but I don't know if it is compatible with feisty versions of dependencies.
[10:01] <jshriver> if you plug in a USB drive and it doesnt show up in dmesg or lsusb what do you recommend be the next step?
[10:02] <juanbond> had to install samba now can ping it by hostname from windows machine :)
[10:02] <Fattay> Can anyone help me with my Logitech USB Headset Issue?
[10:02] <RedGhost> Probably a stupid question, but I've been going through all the preferences menus and I can't seem to find it. Where can I change the size of the icons on the desktop? (Ubuntu/Gnome)
[10:02] <Jordan_U> jshriver, Do any other usb devices get recognized?
[10:02] <jshriver> yeah
[10:03] <jshriver> have a USB mouse
[10:03] <Rodel> what does "checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables" mean?
[10:03] <Jordan_U> Rodel, What are you trying to compile?
[10:03] <_nix_> Rodel: you probably don't have a C compiler installed
[10:03] <_nix_> try gcc --version and check the output
[10:03] <Kjellviz> are there any equalizer in ubuntu, or even in exaile?
[10:03] <Rodel> gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 (Ubuntu 4.1.2-0ubuntu4)
[10:03] <kalon33> RedGhost: in the Nautilus preferences
[10:03] <Jordan_U> Rodel, You need at least the "build-essential" package, but you probably don't need to compile anything from source anyways
[10:04] <zYe_> what should i use to unpack .rar's
[10:04] <_nix_> Rodel: try "unset CC" and then ./configure
[10:04] <Jordan_U> !rar | zYe_
[10:04] <ubotu> zYe_: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[10:04] <_nix_> Rodel: and "unset CFLAGS" too
[10:05] <RedGhost> kalon33, thanks.
[10:06] <Lhademmor> _nix_: What do you mean?
[10:06] <patbam> hmm, i've already got 1.4 gigs of swap http://ruphus.com/stash/gpartedshot.png and stuff still crashes. is that unusual?
[10:06] <Rodel> what is gawk?
[10:07] <SlimeyPete> patbam: sounds like your problem isn't swap-related
[10:07] <kitche> patbam: depends why's it's crashing swap doesn;t mean a thing if a program crashes
[10:07] <Rodel> patbam: im not sure... i have 4 gigs swap space...
[10:07] <_nix_> Lhademmor: are you going to install pidgin from the gutsy repos?
[10:07] <diana> hi, i have a question regarding 64 and 32 bits,
[10:07] <Lycus_> Can someone help me getting my NFS server on Feisty Fawn working? When connecting to it via OS X I am told Uname/Pw are invalid, though it never asked me to enter them.
[10:07] <Lhademmor> _nix_: Dunno how I do that, actually...
[10:07] <_nix_> Rodel: gawk is the gnu's version of awk
[10:07] <codahale> Anyone know how to get sun-java* to install with a noninteractive debconf frontend?
[10:07] <Rodel> whats awk?
[10:07] <kalon33> RedGhost: you have "Icon view by default" (or something like that) in Nautilus file manager preferences and the zoom level you choose here applies to your desktop too
[10:08] <SlimeyPete> diana: shoot
[10:08] <patbam> the most suspicious program is firefox, but i downloaded swiftfox and tried that, and it crashes as well
[10:08] <diana> i have an amd 64 bit processor, cani install ubuntu i386 or do i have to install the 64 bit version
[10:08] <PriceChild> diana, i would suggest using 32bit
[10:08] <SlimeyPete> diana: you can install the 32-bit version
[10:08] <obsethryl> codahale: apt-get ?
[10:08] <penguin42> Lycus_: Try adding 'insecure' as one of the options in /etc/exports
[10:08] <SlimeyPete> diana: in fact, I would recommend doing so.
[10:08] <obsethryl> diana: you can install i386
[10:08] <diana> and what is the difference?
[10:08] <Sephnroth> i've been using the amd 64 version
[10:08] <PriceChild> SlimeyPete++
[10:08] <kitche> patbam: how is it crashing htough segfault or something else?
[10:08] <Fattay> How do I install the USB Audio Drivers?
[10:08] <Sephnroth> the only problem i've had so far is with xineorama
[10:08] <obsethryl> to be honest i love my 64bit *ubuntu box
[10:08] <_nix_> Lhademmor: its ok.. i'lll do a manual trial run when I get back to my ubuntu box. I'll prpbably ruin my sources.list but I can afford a reinstall
[10:08] <patbam> kitche: insufferably long hanging
[10:08] <Lycus_> penguin42: I just add a line 'insecure' ?
[10:09] <codahale> obsethryl: Right. But the noninteractive debconf frontend doesn't present the DLJ accept dialog, and dpkg fails. I'm writing an automated script to do this, so an interactive dialog kind of kills the project.
[10:09] <penguin42> diana: I'm running the 64 bit, to be honest I might have prefered teh 32 bit - getting stuff to work on 64 is more work
[10:09] <PriceChild> diana, i just posted on the matter, see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=456026
[10:09] <SlimeyPete> diana: the 32-bit version won't quite make full use of your processor and you can't have more than 3GB of RAM. But the software support is better.
[10:09] <patbam> and sometimes i see an "out of memory" error in the terminal. but once, i believe it was set off because of inkscape, not ff. also, nautilus has crashed, and i get a nautilus error on startup
[10:09] <PriceChild> SlimeyPete, 4Gb
[10:09] <kitche> patbam: that doesn't mean anything well besides you might have got hit by a bug that was fixed months ago
[10:09] <penguin42> Lycus_: No, I assume you have a line something like  /blah  machine(rw,something,blah)   ?
[10:09] <fxfitz> Does Ubuntu Server Edition come with a window manager??
[10:09] <SlimeyPete> PriceChild: indeed.... typo :) Thanks for the correction, though.
[10:09] <Lycus_> penguin42: Right
[10:09] <Rodel> what is awk?
[10:09] <diana> well, for the ram, my mb only supports 2
[10:09] <binskipy2u> hey guys.. anyone familar with the columns on "distrowatch.com" site? on the last column of ubuntu, will ubutnu update that far?
[10:09] <penguin42> Lycus_: OK, so make it /blah machine(rw,insecure,blah)
[10:09] <patbam> kitche: would said bug have been fixed by updates? i install them all
[10:10] <obsethryl> codahale: hmm have you checked the sources for automatix?
[10:10] <binskipy2u> how can i know how far, a default system install of ubuntu will update
[10:10] <alesan> hi where can I disable the infamous -nolisten tcp option of the X server?
[10:10] <_nix_> Rodel: It is mainly used for manipulating text data.
[10:10] <binskipy2u> for each package?
[10:10] <obsethryl> codahale: you may find what you see there in more detail
[10:10] <codahale> obsethryl: This is on a server. Automatic isn't even in the picture.
[10:10] <Rodel> how do i get gawk?
[10:10] <diana> is it that much faster to use 64 with amd 64?
[10:10] <mjr> diana, not much, generally
[10:10] <_nix_> Rodel: you probably have it installed. try awk --help to check out.
[10:10] <kitche> patbam: yep
[10:10] <geoaxis> _nix_:  i solved the problem : in /etc/environment : i unset LANG variable
[10:10] <penguin42> diana: There are debates about that - depending on the hardware some people reckon it is actually slower
[10:10] <kitche> patbam: I have to get off it's thundering
[10:10] <patbam> kitche: so tha twould rule that out right?
[10:11] <kitche> patbam: pretty much
[10:11] <Ericc> I'm got a media related question about using ssh to play a media file over ssh
[10:11] <patbam> kitche: ah ok, thanks.
[10:11] <Lycus_> penguin42: Ok, I followed the NFSHowto on Ubuntu's wiki, should I replace "@myclient" with the machine's hostname or IP?
[10:11] <diana> another question
[10:11] <_nix_> geoaxis: oh..k thanks :-)
[10:11] <patbam> kitche: but you think swap is not the issue?
[10:11] <Ericc> anyone familiar with playing media over ssh?
[10:11] <Fattay> How do I install USB AUDIO DRIVER so that my logitech usb headset will work?
[10:11] <patbam> or not a solution, at least
[10:11] <Ericc> some help would be appreaciated
[10:11] <penguin42> Lycus_: Yeh replace the @myclient by the name of the machine you want to be able to access it
[10:11] <mjr> penguin42, also depending on operations; if you're banging the cache operating on pointer tables it'll probably be slower ;)
[10:11] <chasetoys> how can xchat be less ugly?
[10:11] <geoaxis> Ericc:  why do you need to play media over ssh
[10:11] <kitche> patbam: yeah it's not that and I know the bug is fixed that would hang firefox for a long time
[10:12] <PriceChild> Ericc, that's hardly a nice way of doing things... even if it is possible
[10:12] <diana> when i put a data cd or dvd in my rom device, it doesn't show the icon on the desktop, any ideas on how to do this?
[10:12] <Ericc> alright because I have all my media on a ssh server
[10:12] <Lycus_> bwahaha, success, thanks, penguin42
[10:12] <geoaxis> chasetoys:  use a better gtk theme
[10:12] <_nix_> geoaxis: maybe an "unset LANG" in the shell would do that temporarily for all the processes spawning from there
[10:12] <chasetoys> geoaxis, how can id o that
[10:12] <penguin42> Lycus_: No prob
[10:12] <Ericc> geoaxis: can you join #eeric for help on this?
[10:12] <geoaxis> chasetoys:  use latest version of Gnome and GTK
[10:12] <S0me1> Hi all
[10:12] <mjr> Ericc, I've done that, "ssh foo cat recording.vob | xine stdin://" style :] 
[10:12] <chasetoys> geoaxis, i have beryl ?
[10:12] <Fattay> Anyone.....can anyone assist me..
[10:13] <Ericc> alright can you guys join #eeric for help on this?
[10:13] <Ericc> plz*
[10:13] <Ericc> too crazy here
[10:13] <blackgraz> heh
[10:13] <mjr> Ericc, I imagine totem should be able to use sftp://host/dir/file urls via gnome-vfs
[10:13] <S0me1> I want buy new laptop, which vendor you prefer?
[10:13] <S0me1> I want hardware work from A-Z
[10:13] <S0me1> your advice plz
[10:13] <_nix_> S0me1: what's not working? and which ubuntu version you're using?
[10:13] <S0me1> and which model ?
[10:13] <Ericc> well.. windows does it auto
[10:13] <Rodel> how do i know if i have gawk?
[10:13] <callidusfox> What would be the command to delete all folders that are less than 1 megabye ? (I want to clean the crap in my music directory)
[10:14] <PriceChild> !offtopic | S0me1
[10:14] <Ericc> its not a matter of finding codecs mrj
[10:14] <ubotu> S0me1: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[10:14] <mjr> Ericc, I haven't talked about codecs
[10:14] <Lycus_> penguin42: Though, for some reason, it tells me I have no write access.
[10:14] <penguin42> S0me1: There are some vendors who now officially support Ubuntu
[10:14] <_nix_> Rodel: enter 'awk' in the terminal. You should see some output other than no such command..
[10:14] <Ericc> alright, because I'm just saying that windows does this automatically
[10:14] <S0me1> penguin42: like ?
[10:15] <Ericc> I'll check out that site, thx mrj
[10:15] <Fattay> How to install Ubuntu USB Audio Drivers on Fiesty?
[10:15] <BleSS> backports is to install version more news, is it correct?
[10:15] <penguin42> S0me1: Well I know Ubuntu announced a relationship with Dell last week *for certain models* - and I think there are some others; but many vendors hardware works
[10:15] <jintxo> NetworkManager is a fine peice of software, but I only get the "vpn connections" menu if I have my NICs set up for DHCP. is there any way to make it show with manual configuration?
[10:15] <Federico90> hi all
[10:15] <S0me1> I want laptop Camera,modem ...etc
[10:15] <aLeSD> is it a good idea to add medibuntu ?
[10:15] <nandoviski> algum brasileiro ai??
[10:15] <penguin42> Lycus_: Check for the rw in the options line in your /etc/exports, also check your userids match
[10:15] <S0me1> I do not want try test the laptop
[10:15] <aLeSD> nao
[10:15] <diana> how do i get nautilus to put the mounted icon of my cd/dvd rom on my desktop when it mounts the device?
[10:16] <PriceChild> !br | nandoviski
[10:16] <ubotu> nandoviski: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigado.
[10:16] <Federico90> where can i see the /dev/x of an audio device?
[10:16] <nandoviski> valeu
[10:16] <Sephnroth> anyone know if its possiable to force wine to stick the virtual desktop to a certain size and KEEP it, stretching the contents to fit? i wanna play some old games in a window, but the virtual desktop keeps autoresizing to the games original full screen size - which for old games can be 320x240 or 640x480 :( much too small :(
[10:16] <Lycus_> penguin42: rw options are there, how do I check for userids matching?
[10:16] <_nix_> Federico90: for reference is /dev/sound/pcm... in here
[10:16] <geoaxis> S0me1:  please explain , dont wat to try test laptop
[10:16] <penguin42> Lycus_: On both machines type 'id'
[10:16] <Sp4rKy> aLeSD: why it shouldn't be one ?
[10:16] <Rodel> _nix_: awk does nothing
[10:17] <Fattay> Why is no one replying to me? :(
[10:17] <Federico90> _nix_:i havent the sound folder
[10:17] <Lycus_> penguin42: They don't match.
[10:17] <callidusfox> stifler: then you be the first one
[10:17] <geoaxis> Fattay:  can you post question again
[10:17] <penguin42> Lycus_: NFSs permission handling is pretty dumb; it relies on Unix UIDs being the same for the user permissions to work
[10:17] <_nix_> Rodel: try awk --help, you should see some output. that means gawk is installed
[10:17] <callidusfox> What would be the command to delete all folders that are less than 1 megabye ? (I want to clean the crap in my music directory)
[10:17] <penguin42> Lycus_: If you can't get matching UIDs then something like samba might actually be better
[10:17] <kalon33> geoaxis: USB audio devices drivers install for Fattay
[10:18] <Lycus_> penguin42: I've heard NFS is much faster than Samba, Samba is pretty slow for me.
[10:18] <bartosz> hey can anyone help with eggdrop and with ubuntu?
[10:18] <_nix_> Federico90: maybe you're on different hw. that was only for reference for what a sound device node might look like
[10:18] <Rodel> _nix_: it returns "awk: not an option: --help"
[10:18] <S0me1> I mean , when I buy the new laptop , I wish everything work smoothly, I do not want miss some hardware and not work
[10:18] <Fattay> I've Plugged in my Logitech USB audio headset....and it plays back fine in sound properties and stuff...but I can't get it to pick up the microphone.......
[10:18] <bartosz> i have a problem with tcl scritps
[10:18] <Fattay> I think I need to install the USB audio drivers or something (googled it) but idk how.
[10:18] <geoaxis> Fattay:  hmm
[10:18] <Federico90> _nix_: it should be dsp or dsp1
[10:18] <_nix_> Rodel: ok you've got gawk installed. Are you trying something with it?
[10:18] <bartosz> export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=</home/bartosz/tcl8.4.6/unix>  that line wont' work
[10:18] <S0me1> your advice HP,Dell,TOSHIPA, and wish model
[10:18] <silent_> in gaim, if I close my chat window with all my tabs, how can I get it back? all I get is my buddies list
[10:18] <Federico90> _nix_: where can i find the name of the device?
[10:18] <geoaxis> Fattay:  your primary drivers are alsa right?
[10:19] <Fattay> Not Sure geoaxis...
[10:19] <penguin42> Lycus_: That may indeed be true - so the other fix would be to make the userid the same
[10:19] <_nix_> Federico90: righto, when it's not, usually a symlink is made
[10:19] <hotellina> ciao people
[10:19] <Rodel> _nix_: im trying to install garnome and when i run it it goes through some stuff and it says "checking for gawk... no"
[10:19] <Lycus_> penguin42: Any idea how that would be done
[10:19] <Fattay> Sound playback is currently under auto detect.
[10:19] <penguin42> bartosz: Those < and > shouldn't be there
[10:19] <_nix_> Rodel: lemme check. .just a min
[10:19] <Rodel> _nix_: but it says i have mawk... what ever that would be
[10:20] <Federico90> _nix_: there're no sym link
[10:20] <penguin42> Lycus_: Under ubuntu you would have to edit your /etc/passwd with something like vipw  and change the uid then do a chown -R on your home directory to fix up all the file ownership
[10:20] <geoaxis> Fattay:  can you go to prefereces >> sound
[10:20] <Federico90> maibe i've found the device in the system pannel
[10:20] <_nix_> Rodel: mawk?? oh.. k its quiet equivalant to gawk anyways.
[10:20] <S0me1> ?
[10:20] <geoaxis> and tell us wats your sound capture set to
[10:20] <Fattay> USB Audio Device
[10:20] <Fattay> is what its set to
[10:21] <Aresilek> how do i telnet to an unsuall port in Kubuntu?
[10:21] <_nix_> Federico90: do you have any multimedia player installed? try playing a sound file and check out the contents of /proc/<pid>/fd/
[10:21] <geoaxis> hmm
[10:21] <callidusfox> What would be the command to delete all folders that are less than 1 megabye ? (I want to clean the crap in my music directory)
[10:21] <Federico90> _nix_: k
[10:21] <Rodel> _nix_: so what would be causing "checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables"
[10:21] <geoaxis> Fattay : set it to Alsa , what happens then
[10:21] <penguin42> Aresilek: telnet hostname portnumber
[10:22] <Fattay> Set it, and then close or test?
[10:22] <penguin42> callidusfox: Please don't keep repeating so often - your question is not actually a simple one
[10:22] <mjr> !build-essential | Rodel
[10:22] <ubotu> Rodel: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[10:22] <callidusfox> penguin42: sorry. Though it was.
[10:22] <_nix_> Rodel: i've never compiled GARNOME myself. however a default install of ubuntu with the build-essential package should be enough for a c compiler with exec support et al.
[10:22] <geoaxis> Fattay:  test
[10:22] <tich> i have a partition that can't find a mount point --i know that it is possible to manually set one but i don't know how.  could someone give tell me what i am to do?
[10:22] <sebas_> callidusfox, check the rm manual: man rm
[10:23] <Agip> hi
[10:23] <Agip> need help installing a .run
[10:23] <Aresilek> thanks penguin42
[10:23] <Agip> how do I install a .run file?
[10:23] <geoaxis> Fattay:  i hope you have unmuted what ever you want to use?
[10:24] <hotellina> hey guys!!!! I need a little help on ubuntu installation can you help me?
[10:24] <sebas_> agip, you have to run it from the terminal
[10:24] <matthew> is there an application that lets you check your internet connect?  a terminal application.
[10:24] <penguin42> matthew: ping
[10:24] <_nix_> matthew: ping
[10:24] <callidusfox> sebas_: there is only file name there, not size
[10:24] <sebas_> agip for example ./hello.run
[10:24] <Fattay> Yes I unmuted it.
[10:24] <_nix_> oops
[10:24] <Fattay> Umm
[10:24] <Fattay> I get an error when I do test
[10:24] <matthew> penguin42, _nix_: i just need to know if its working, not test how fast.
[10:24] <Agip> sebas don;t understand
[10:24] <tich> how would i set a mount point for a partition?
[10:25] <Aresilek> how do i browse the network in kubuntu
[10:25] <penguin42> matthew: Sure, pick something that works - e.g.   ping www.ubuntu.com
[10:25] <geoaxis> Fattay:  can you describe the error , error code etc
[10:25] <Aresilek> ?
[10:25] <Fattay> Failed to construct test pipeline for 'gconfaudiosrc ! audioconcver ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile= chat'
[10:25] <_nix_> matthew: if its sending packets and recieving replies -- that means you have a network up and running
[10:25] <geoaxis> Aresilek:  which network , windows ?
[10:25] <Sleepy_Coder> brb. :p
[10:25] <Fattay> And then it freezes my sound preferences.
[10:25] <Aresilek> yes geoaxis
[10:25] <Federico90> _nix_: found it is /dev/snd1
[10:25] <Federico90> _nix_: tnx
[10:25] <matthew> penguin42, _nix_: what about to know what my ip address is?
[10:25] <Federico90> bye bye
[10:25] <_nix_> Federico90: congrats
[10:25] <geoaxis> Aresilek:  typut smb://address in konqueror
[10:25] <geoaxis> \\address should also work
[10:26] <ziggy23> How do I disable completely iptables for testing purposes?  How do I re-enable when done?
[10:26] <penguin42> matthew: Ah that can be tricky, especially if you are through routers that NAT you
[10:26] <geoaxis> but u would need to mount stuff for playback
[10:26] <Agip> is it with the sh command?
[10:26] <sebas_> agip: imagine that the file .run is named foo.run and is located in a directory. Then you have to do the following: open the terminal and write /path/to/directory/foo.run
[10:26] <geoaxis> media playback,
[10:26] <Fattay> Did you get that error msg geoaxis?
[10:26] <Mikeh> Hi all, I am using aMSN for webcams, but I would like to use Kopete instead, as aMSN is a bit hard to deal with. My problem is even though Kopete rcognizes the webcam, none of the invites ever process.
[10:26] <nix> matthew: ur machines own IP address should come up with ifconfig
[10:26] <Kr0ntab> word... I just bought an Ubuntu Dell laptop.  :-)
[10:27] <Agip> sebas: like sudo sh /path/to/directory/foo.run?
[10:27] <nix> Kr0ntab: congrats
[10:27] <penguin42> Kr0ntab: Hey good luck!
[10:27] <geoaxis> Fattay:  yes , looking it up
[10:27] <matthew> mix: thanks.
[10:27] <Fattay> Okay.

[10:27] <sebas_> agip: i don't remember if you have to use sh, try with and without and you don't have to use sudo necessarily

[10:29] <Xenos767> does anyone know of where I can get a video recorder that records videos from live action on your computer, that's for linux/ubuntu?
[10:30] <geoaxis> Fattay:  much easier to read on pastebin
[10:30] <nix> soumou: oh..k I read the post incorrectly that you were inviting up over
[10:30] <nix> heheh
[10:30] <Fattay> I know, but I don't know how to the dmesg...lol I'm a total noob man.....I just installed ubunutu yesterday...
[10:30] <Fattay> What exactly do I need to type?
[10:30] <Fattay> in Terminal?
[10:30] <soumou> nix, sure come, but will you split the airfare with me ... i got you a free place to stay
[10:30] <erisco> I have mounted a CD but where can I browse what is on it?
[10:30] <soumou> and if interested some female companionship ...
[10:31] <SlimeyPete> erisco: where did you mount it to?
[10:31] <erisco> SlimeyPete, I just stuck a CD in my drive
[10:31] <geoaxis> Fattay:  dmesg >> mine.txt  ( this basically puts all in info of dmesg command in mine.txt file)
[10:31] <nix> soumou: thanks.. you got a free place here too.. spreading the spirit of Ubuntu eh?
[10:31] <SlimeyPete> erisco: ah. Is there not a cd icon on your desktop?
[10:31] <soumou> yes
[10:31] <erisco> SlimeyPete, yes
[10:31] <Fattay> Okay cool. Where is the mine.txt file located at then?
[10:31] <SlimeyPete> erisco: click on it.
[10:31] <geoaxis> Fattay:  then you need to do the same for second command :  lspci -v >> lspci.txt
[10:31] <kalon33> Fattay: in your home ddirectory
[10:32] <erisco> SlimeyPete, it opens it in sound juicer... but it is a media/data CD and I want the data
[10:32] <geoaxis> Fattay:  on the path where you exectuated the command
[10:32] <nix> soumou: I'm not sure but ati devices are not exactly very friendly with linux
[10:32] <sebas_> agip: please write sebas_ because I close my client
[10:32] <geoaxis> use pwd (print working directory ) to see which path
[10:32] <BleSS> does backports is to install the newest packages versions, is it correct?
[10:32] <erisco> SlimeyPete, I thought it would mount on media/cdrom but nothing is there
[10:32] <SlimeyPete> erisco: ah. Try right-lciking, see if there are any options. Otherwise, load up the file manager and navigate to /media/cdrom0
[10:32] <kalon33> Fattay: in your home directory, if you haven't changed of directory (with cd command)
[10:33] <sebas_> agip: no i haven't
[10:33] <Lycus> I have one other silly question. I have my Ubuntu hostname set as thoth - but other computers on my network don't recognize this, and say invalid hostname. However, it recognizes other computers, such as my OS X machine named setesh - is there something I need to do to get other computers to associate my Ubuntu machine's hostname with its IP?
[10:33] <soumou> nix: real quick = i got a 2nd system i want to practice on .  it's a desktop with raid 5 (3 160gb hd's) and i just put a 4th hard drive on it and disconnected the raid array ...
[10:33] <ziggy23> I am having NAT issues.  For testing I want to disable the firewall n Ubuntu.  How do I do that?
[10:33] <Aresilek> What's a good VNC client for kubuntu
[10:33] <erisco> SlimeyPete, no options other than the cd juicer, and there is nothing in cdrom0 or cdrom... which doesn't seem possible because I have already taken the music from it just now successfully.
[10:33] <Lycus> Aresilek: I use xvnc4
[10:33] <geoaxis> Lycus: well here is the thing
[10:33] <ryanakca> anybody know of a simple way to set up a chroot so that the user has access to two programs (screen and irssi), and a shell? I haven't been able to get something quick to set up and jailkit gives me errors.
[10:34] <geoaxis> Lycus:  you need a central authority to say who is who
[10:34] <soumou> so before over coming my challenges on the laptop , i simplyi was going to get up up on the 4th hd of the desktop
[10:34] <BleSS> hi al!!
[10:34] <SlimeyPete> erisco: not sure then, sorry :/
[10:34] <nix> soumou: real quick? I think you should turn on the system and see what happens ;-)

[10:34] <geoaxis> i think Mac machines negotiate them selbes who is who
[10:34] <erisco> SlimeyPete, when I first put in the CD it asked if it was to be treated as a media or data CD.. and it had a browse option... that worked fine... now it is always treated as a media
[10:34] <JEnnYKolbexx> how do i set an application to start when i log in to my desktop

[10:34] <BleSS> does backports is to install packages more actualized, is correct?
[10:34] <habeeb> Anyone here using KMess and not able to login in MSN?

[10:34] <nix> soumou: good idea. hey is the live cd working one the laptop?
[10:35] <Lycus> kalon33: Can I enable it myself, or is it simply not there?
[10:35] <Joshooa> when I am using the 3d desktop, isn't there a keyboard shortcut I can use to switch sides of the cube, or to make the mouse able to move between them without dragging a window?

I selected 1280x1024x16 on startup (VGA) and when it was starting up with the orange bar, i could tell that the resolution was 1280x1024 because the ubuntu symbol and bar were both tiny.  Then it reverted to 800x600 when the ubuntu interface appeared.  what do i d

[10:35] <Chetwin> Hi all.  Is there any way to enable 3d acceleration with the open source nvidia driver??
[10:35] <geoaxis> Fattay:  ok my bad you had to do a lsusb instead of lspci
[10:35] <soumou> the "live CD" working on the desktop?   unfortunately i don't even know what you are refering to ..
[10:35] <codename_> is there any music storing programs like Itunes?

[10:36] <nix> soumou: you can try the general compatibility of ubuntu using the live cd.
[10:36] <erisco> how can I verify if a CD is mounted?
[10:36] <soumou> i kinda just want to get her up and running on the 4th hd of the desktop, then learn , then get back to the laptop with the ati card that i am stuck with
[10:37] <linuxnub> ok tried to fix fstab so that my other hard drive will show up in "my computer" and i then was unable to reboot back into ubuntu after that so any help plz
[10:37] <Fattay> geoaxis: Is this what you need? http://pastebin.ca/514584
[10:37] <soumou> all i have done so far is download 7.04 and burn a cd of it
[10:37] <penguin42> codename_: Amarok under Kubuntu as another player
[10:37] <nix> erisco: enter 'mount' in the terminal. one the lines should say cdrom
[10:37] <linuxnub> my ubuntu drive is /dev/sdb and my OTHER drive is /dev/sda
[10:37] <geoaxis> Fattay:  yes
[10:37] <FakeOutdoorsman> !nvidia > FakeOutdoorsman
[10:37] <soumou> is the "live cd" something different?
[10:37] <Aresilek> Lycus: can i do an apt-get for xvnc4
[10:37] <Aresilek> ?
[10:37] <superkirbyartist> How can I emulate the right mouse button?
[10:37] <nix> soumou: what you've downloaded is probably a live cd
[10:37] <soumou> k
[10:38] <Jordan_U> linuxnub, Do you have a backup of your /etc/fstab?
[10:38] <nix> its a bootable disk with a full working ubuntu installation on it.
[10:38] <soumou> so just shove it in there now.  or reboot ?
[10:38] <linuxnub> no
[10:38] <soumou> yeah, i already had it boot before from the cd
[10:38] <Lycus> Aresilek: xvncviewer
[10:38] <nix> soumou:  yup that;s pretty much what everybody else is doing
[10:38] <linuxnub> i went into livecd and commented out my changes and then booted bak in
[10:38] <erisco> nix, nautilus says it is mounted yet $ mount does not
[10:38] <Aresilek> ok
[10:38] <soumou> and up came all this garabage
[10:38] <Lycus> Aresilek: or xvnc4viewer
[10:38] <erisco> nix, how can I mount it manually?
[10:38] <spoune> lu
[10:38] <Aresilek> once wine downloads
[10:38] <superkirbyartist> How do I emulate the right mouse button?
[10:38] <nix> erisco: in the terminal, enter mount /cdrom

[10:39] <linuxnub> my chage = /dev/sda    / ext3   defaults,user, noauto   1  1
[10:39] <geoaxis> Fattay:  when you use logitech audio , you have unmuted the input section in gnome mixer ..right?
[10:39] <nix> that should mount the disk. the command "mount | grep -i cdrom" should show you a line detailing the mount status
[10:39] <spoune> what
[10:39] <Fattay> geoaxis: Heh...And that would be where?
[10:40] <superkirbyartist> After running mouseemu, what do I do?
[10:40] <zoidberg> hey guys
[10:40] <nix> zoidberg: yo
[10:40] <geoaxis> Fattay:  dbl click the mixer icon

[10:40] <codename_> how do I install my NVIDIA Drivers for Ubuntu 6.06
[10:40] <Jordan_U> linuxnub, You say you commented that line ( /dev/sda    / ext3   defaults,user, noauto   1  1 ) ?

[10:41] <geoaxis> zoidberg:  but you should have that already
[10:41] <soumou> or night depending on if you are currently in india as you type
[10:41] <geoaxis> Fattay:  any luck
[10:41] <Jordan_U> linuxnub, You can't assign a partition other than your root partition a mountpoint of "/"
[10:41] <linuxnub> and then rebooted back in fine after that but i still cant see my other drive in "my computer"
[10:41] <jordyan> oi
[10:41] <codename_> what was that link again?
[10:41] <jordyan> como que faz pra entrar em outro canal ?
[10:42] <linuxnub> ok so where do i assign it at

[10:42] <Jordan_U> linuxnub, Make a folder that you want to use as a mountpoint
[10:42] <geoaxis> Fattay:  try it with logitech
[10:42] <Jordan_U> !nvidia > codename_
[10:42] <linuxnub> like /media/sda  ??
[10:42] <nix> soumou: boy pretty messy on that page. You already have ubuntu installed on the laptop?
[10:42] <Jordan_U> linuxnub, Yes
[10:42] <codename_> i didnt get the message

[10:43] <codename_> How do I Install my NVIDIA Graphics Driver for Ubuntu 6.06?
[10:43] <Fattay> geoaxis: Everytime I choose a usb audio in sound preferences, my sound pref's freezes and I have to force quit.
[10:43] <linuxnub> look right?
[10:43] <Jordan_U> !dvd | aLeSD
[10:43] <ubotu> aLeSD: 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
[10:43] <aLeSD> it says that it needs the plugin but I installed the dvdcss2
[10:43] <Lycus> Aresilek: Sorry, typo, xvnc4viewer
[10:43] <Aresilek> whoops
[10:43] <Fattay> geoaxis: The microphone wasn't muted.
[10:43] <aLeSD> Jordan_U:                    I have it
[10:43] <Aresilek> :-P
[10:44] <nix> soumou: it does look like messing with the kernel.. modules.. Xorg.. what I can assure you is that it will make up for a good technical intro to linux for you.
[10:44] <nix> :-)
[10:44] <Jordan_U> aLeSD, Have what?
[10:44] <spoune> where channel french please

[10:45] <soumou> nix , thank you ... i am up for a good introduction to linux with any challenges it may provide me with
[10:45] <Jordan_U> aLeSD, Use VLC to play the DVD then
[10:45] <soumou> no , i do not have unbuntu on the laptop
[10:45] <soumou> i am trying , as i type on this laptop, to put it on a desktop
[10:45] <Jordan_U> aLeSD, Totem-gstreamer does not support DVD playback
[10:46] <darko> hola
[10:46] <geoaxis> Fattay:
[10:46] <spoune> do speak french
[10:46] <soumou> so that i can get back to this channell and seek assistance for messing with the kernal or whatever that means
[10:46] <geoaxis> waht about line in
[10:46] <spoune> do you speak french
[10:46] <Aresilek> Lycus: how do i use it now?
[10:46] <Fattay> geoaxis: Yes?
[10:46] <nix> soumou: that's the spirit sir. you gotta be a little persistent in there.
[10:46] <nix> soumou: good luck
[10:46] <vlitzer> what to do when you recently installed ubuntu and "no operating system" is encountered?
[10:46] <soumou> quick ? re: putting it on the desktop
[10:46] <kalon33> spoune: me, yes
[10:47] <aLeSD> very nice vlc ... mmm I have a problem with the driver nvidia ... I put the proprietary ones in the trash .. I can't stant it more
[10:47] <vlitzer> currently i am on the live cd..
[10:47] <Xenos767> are there any good video recorders for linux out there?
[10:47] <Lycus> Aresilek: Just type xvnc4viewer in a terminal, then type the server info as asked
[10:47] <Aresilek> ok Lycus
[10:47] <soumou> how do i go about putting a 160 gb partition on the 300 gb 4th hard drive (which currently has a windows image on it)
[10:47] <kalon33> spoune: tu devrais aller sur le chan #ubuntu-fr qui regroupe les francophones pour le support
[10:47] <nix> vlitzer: you can try to reinstall grub
[10:48] <soumou> so basically re-formatting it with the ubuntu installation cd?
[10:48] <nix> soumou: not really necessary
[10:48] <Aresilek> Lycus:  main:        Your connection has been rejected. :-O :-S
[10:48] <soumou> k, so just blow it away with the ubuntu cd installation?
[10:48] <nix> soumou: windows image? is it a disk dump or a windows _installation_
[10:48] <Lycus> Aresilek: Have you connected to the VNC server before?
[10:48] <nix> soumou: if that won't hurt you, you can got for it.
[10:49] <Aresilek> Lycus: yes, it's an ultraVNC server
[10:49] <soumou> it's an acronis true image of the existing raid 5 on the desktop (which i have backed up on external usb hard drive)
[10:49] <Aresilek> Lycus: i've connected with ultravnc before
[10:49] <ebirtaid> 30948
[10:49] <ebirtaid> er
[10:49] <geoaxis> Fattay:  is line in muted?
[10:49] <vlitzer> nix: how i can do that? i cant boot my recently installed ubuntu
[10:50] <Fattay> geoaxis: Everytime I go to sound preferences, it freezes and I have to force quit. And no, It's not muted.
[10:50] <nix> soumou: the partition utility on the live cd is capable of resizing existing partitions facilitating the creation of new partitions for ubuntu
[10:50] <_lelik1_> !ru
[10:50] <geoaxis> Fattay:  ok here is the thing , the underlying driver to linux sound is alsa
[10:50] <ubotu>    #ubuntu-ru       /  Pozhalujsta vojdite v #ubuntu-ru dlq pomoshchi na russkom qzyke
[10:50] <Lycus> Aresilek: What did it ask before it rejected your connection?
[10:50] <soumou> k, thx
[10:50] <Aresilek> server
[10:50] <Aresilek> hmmm
[10:50] <geoaxis> what is needed here is a routing of microphone sound to the alsa sound in
[10:50] <Aresilek> it didn't ask for the password
[10:51] <geoaxis> that could be configuratino issue you would need to resolve manually
[10:51] <Lycus> Aresilek: Are you sure the server is running right now?
[10:51] <Fattay> geoaxis: Meaning...
[10:51] <erisco> can you mount a directory as a CD? And if not, how do I make an iso out of a directory of files?
[10:51] <Fattay> geoaxis: I'm not hearing anything out of any speakers now. Not my speakers or my headset.
[10:51] <nix> vlitzer: the command 'sudo grub-install /dev/hdX' should install grub on the hard-drive where hdX is either hda,hdb,hdc,hdd -- depending ur hdd's position
[10:52] <geoaxis> Fattay:  you may need to restart
[10:52] <vlitzer> nix: thanks a lot!
[10:52] <zoidberg> hey guys i have two video cards...one onboard intel and another nvidida riva tnt....i just installed the riva card using the nvidia guide that someone posted a minute ago....how do i enable dual screen if i have a monitor hooked to both cards each?

[10:55] <mh_le> s/han/had
[10:55] <mjr> zoidberg, usually you have a dual output card, though, but that's an option
[10:55] <TehRealNexGen> either use twinview with a dual output

[10:57] <wastedfluid> hey guys;  is there a terminal command, or a package I can download, that you can type 'name' and it shows you network input, and output in MB?
[10:58] <Lycus> Aresilek: Sorry, I am not too knowledgeable about the technical aspects of VNC - someone else here may be. xvnc4viewer worked fine for me out of the box.

[10:59] <kulaga> how to i set up TCL scripts on ubuntu???????
[10:59] <nix> soumou: anytime.. :-)
[10:59] <phazeman> Pycckuu: yeah.. i speak :)
[10:59] <Rodel> what is the terminal command for installing stuff "sudo apt-get filename" ? or something close to that
[10:59] <soumou> basically, i have my boot sequence set on the desktop to boot from cd
[10:59] <PriceChild> Rodel, sudo apt-get install foo
[10:59] <JEnnYKolbexx> in commandline
[10:59] <phazeman> Pycckuu: but you have to go to ubuntu-ru
[10:59] <erisco> if I have a directory of files I want to make into a data disk... how can I just make an image instead of an actual disk? an Iso?
[11:00] <Pycckuu> phazeman muzhik!!!
[11:00] <Rodel> PriceChild: Thanks
[11:00] <faileas> Rodel: apt-cache search fileame?
[11:00] <soumou> and with the 7.04 cd in there it is giving me some kind of windows error.  and asking me to boot to safe mode ,etc
[11:00] <Clarrisa_2008> oh man this frustrating!!!  I can't do any administrative tasks from from Xfce/Xubuntu, because it keeps saying "Enter your password for administrative tasks"  I give it my root password, which WORKS GREAT by the way inside a terminal using SU or SUDO, but it won't accept it in the GUI
[11:00] <soumou> i guess it is grabbing that from the 4 th hard drive
[11:00] <Clarrisa_2008> please help anyone?
[11:01] <nix> soumou: the live cd is probably havin some problem with the raid 5.
[11:01] <CheshireViking> Clarrisa_2008, it should be talking about your user password, not the root user password
[11:01] <phazeman> Clarrisa_2008: you should give it YOUR password. your users...
[11:01] <geoaxis> Clarrisa_2008:  you need to give your user password
[11:01] <soumou> so, the question is how to i boot from a cd with 7.04's one large file on it and install it before it gets to lesser boot devices
[11:01] <_lelik1_> Pycckuu: ya govoru
[11:01] <geoaxis> its like doing sudo
[11:01] <Rojer> Ya russkii
[11:01] <geoaxis> no su
[11:01] <soumou> the raid 5 is completly disconnected and turned off in bios
[11:01] <geoaxis> not*
[11:02] <wastedfluid> hey guys;  is there a terminal command, or a package I can download, that you can type 'name' and it shows you network input, and output in MB?
[11:02] <nix> soumou: whoa hold it.. how have you burned the cd?
[11:02] <soumou> eg the power cords and sata cords are physically disconnected to save myself from myself ..... hehe
[11:02] <erisco>            how do you make an ISO image??
[11:02] <Dekkard> Is there a bug with applets crashing?
[11:02] <soumou> it' s in  a iso form
[11:02] <aricz> Hi, how do I change textmode (resolution) in console?
[11:02] <JEnnYKolbexx> gkrellm maybe u can display etho and so on traffic
[11:02] <Rodel> whats the latest version of libxml?
[11:02] <geoaxis> wastedfluid:  you mean you want to collect the network stats for indivisual processes
[11:03] <nix> you mean you have a cd with a large somefile.iso _inside_ the cd ?
[11:03] <soumou> so maybe then the desktop doesn't recognize it and i have to create a bootable files or something
[11:03] <Fattay> geoaxis: I've pmed you....can you reply? I won't take up much time I promise.
[11:03] <soumou> exactly
[11:03] <nix> erisco: mkisofs <directory-tree>
[11:03] <silent_> hmm... I like xchat
[11:03] <wastedfluid> geoaxis: No.  I want a terminal command, or package I can download, that I can use in a terminal.. that will show how many megabytes I've sent in/out.  Just a little package that shows my network adapter, and usage statistics
[11:03] <Clarrisa_2008> phazeman, cheshireviking, geoaxis, I tried just using my own password, and instead now it returns "failed to run network admin as user root"  so now it doesn't even ask for a password when I try an admin task
[11:03] <geoaxis> Fattay:  i dont see ur PM
[11:03] <soumou> yes one large iso with 700kb or something
[11:04] <nix> soumou: you have to select an option like, "burn image" in whatever burning software you are using and poing to that iso image.
[11:04] <faileas> kb?
[11:04] <Dekkard> should be meg
[11:04] <geoaxis> Clarrisa_2008:  is this the first user you added

[11:05] <geoaxis> wastedfluid:  well i think you can already see network in and out from top

[11:05] <wastedfluid> well, Not sure about top, but I know ifconfig ath0 shows my wireless adapters statistics
[11:05] <wastedfluid> thanks!!
[11:05] <geoaxis> naaa sorry
[11:05] <Fattay> geoaxis: Was that to me?
[11:05] <cables> Does anyone know where I can download the default Feisty desktop background image? I accidentally deleted it.
[11:05] <obsethryl> hmm what is interesting is that i see a lot of suse users in here as well
[11:05] <Dekkard> Is there a bug with applets crashing?
[11:05] <soumou> nix, to be honest i don't know what the capacitys are of my buring cd software, that was the first time using it ...  i will go check
[11:05] <geoaxis> Clarrisa_2008:  which groups does your user currently belong to
[11:05] <Clarrisa_2008> geoaxis, I have been using ubuntu without the the XFCE Desktop for over a year.  I had it set up only as a LAMP server, then I loaded xubuntu desktop today.  As far as the users are concerned, I have Root, and Myself added, so I guess yes, I'm the first user that I loaded
[11:06] <Rodel> Does anybody know the newest version number of libxml?
[11:06] <nix> soumou: umm maybe install WinRAR and open the file with it. you should see a filesystem in the iso
[11:06] <obsethryl> an in  - topic question, is there news regarding a 64bit edition of ubuntustudio please?
[11:06] <Clarrisa_2008> geoaxis, how can I check that from a terminal?
[11:06] <PriceChild> obsethryl, #ubuntustudio
[11:06] <soumou> yes , 714646 bytes on the iso image of 7.04
[11:06] <obsethryl> PriceChild: oh that is not supported in here as well?
[11:06] <geoaxis> Fattay:  still havent got your PM
[11:06] <nix> soumou: sure thing ..
[11:06] <faileas> soumou: megabytes ;p
[11:06] <PriceChild> obsethryl, you'll get a better answer there ;)
[11:06] <soumou> k , i got winRAR on the desktop, but i guess i should quickly put it on this laptop
[11:06] <cables> obsethryl, it's not an official Ubuntu version
[11:06] <Fattay> geoaxis: I sent it. Can you PM me or something?
[11:07] <harry> can I tell apt-get to run in the background so that while it does its thing, I can use gnuplot at the same time?
[11:07] <soumou> cuz it will be quicker than reconnecting all the power and sata cords to the raid 5 on the desktop
[11:07] <geoaxis> wastedfluid:  thats for the network card it self
[11:07] <faileas> harry: definately
[11:07] <obsethryl> PriceChild: cables: thank you
[11:07] <nix> soumou: righto. winrar is capable of opening an iso file to see what's inside.
[11:07] <harry> faileas: how?
[11:08] <nix> the iso file is like an acronis image of the cd itself
[11:08] <nix> hehehe
[11:08] <Clarrisa_2008> geoaxis, how do I check what groups I'm a member of.  I can open a terminal an SU, or sudo.  but can't remeber the command for group membership
[11:08] <faileas> harry: erm minimise the terminal. open gnuplot. get things done. ? ;)
[11:08] <geoaxis> groups
[11:08] <Fattay> geoaxis: I can see yours, can you see mine?
[11:08] <soumou> done installing winRAR
[11:08] <harry> No I mean from the same terminal
[11:08] <SimonFoster> groups
[11:08] <soumou> how to open the iso ....
[11:09] <SimonFoster> /groups
[11:09] <harry> like you can do with wget
[11:09] <faileas> nix: actually no, its a sparce file format IIRC, its not as efficient as an image made by a proper archival tool i suspect
[11:09] <geoaxis> Clarrisa_2008:  with your current user , type groups
[11:09] <faileas> soumou: i know for a fact 7zip can open them, in windows
[11:09] <nix> soumou: right click the iso and click open with.. select winrar
[11:09] <siloko> Clarrisa_2008: type groups <username>
[11:09] <soumou> k got it
[11:09] <soumou> open...
[11:09] <nix> faileas: like an image. though very very raw
[11:10] <dinkle> anyone have an issue with amarok putting music on your ipod but then you not being able to see it?
[11:10] <faileas> nix: kinda like DD i supose?

[11:10] <Rawplayer> hey, why is syntax highlighting not in vim version 7.0.235
[11:10] <Clarrisa_2008> geoaxis, siloko, it's says I'm a member of www-data and apachegroup

[11:10] <nix> faileas: exactly
[11:10] <steveire> Hey. I want to install AMP on my laptop to try out some cmses etc. Can you point me to a better more up to date guide than https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[11:10] <geoaxis> Clarrisa_2008:  i think you aslo need to be part of admin group
[11:10] <soumou> what do i do with it?  ... run the 'start.exe' ... but i guess not cuz where i really want it is on the same cd to boot the desktop and not on the hd of this laptop, huh?
[11:10] <faileas> right, wifi sorta works,range is VERY bad tho, and... battry monitor dosen't seem to see the battery. damn
[11:10] <Clarrisa_2008> geoaxis, can I add myself to an Admin group or something
[11:10] <faileas> hmm
[11:11] <faileas> soumou: start.exe is a launcher to install windows gnu software ;p
[11:11] <nix> soumou: nope you do not run anything from the iso opened in WinRAR.
[11:11] <geoaxis> Clarrisa_2008:  sure , can you bring gnome-users from within su
[11:11] <faileas> *Foss
[11:11] <Clarrisa_2008> what is the actual command and group name?
[11:11] <faileas> it won't do you much good to install
[11:11] <Clarrisa_2008> geoaxis how?
[11:11] <kurisu> hey guys, i have 2 PCI busses hidden behind transparent bridges... and i think this is why i cant see my pci wifi card, can anyone help me please???
[11:11] <nemesys571> I killed the sound mixer and now I don't have a volume control icon on the taskbar
[11:11] <nix> soumou: find the option that sounds like burn an image in your burning software and point it to the iso file
[11:11] <Clarrisa_2008> and why are you saying gnome?  this is xfce i"m using
[11:11] <Fattay> geoaxis: Are you receiving my PM messages?
[11:11] <nemesys571> not even after restarting
[11:11] <soumou> k, so i guess i should go boot the desktop from that image i have on the 4th hard drive and download winRAR to that drive?
[11:12] <soumou> oh, i see where you are going ...
[11:12] <Seb962> Fattay: Is your nickname registered through Nickserv?
[11:12] <Fattay> Don't think so...
[11:12] <soumou> do i need to exist winRAR first?
[11:12] <geoaxis> do a  gksu users-admin from console ..when as root
[11:12] <ubuntu_> What's the procedure to add a second SATA hard drive on my machine? 1. plug it in 2. mount  it 3. partition it 4. create an ext3 filesystem, is that correct?
[11:12] <nix> soumou: I hope so :-)
[11:12] <Rodel> how do you browse or search a package list?
[11:12] <nix> soumou: yeah you can close winrar

[11:15] <Seb962> Tee-hee.  I do have a small concern regarding installing Ubuntu from a flash drive. I'm using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick as my reference, and I always get a black screen whenever I boot with my usb. Help is appreciated! :)
[11:15] <nix> soumou: never used that but there should be something in the manual on burning an image
[11:15] <soumou> it give me the options to (1) backup, (2) copy , (3) data, (4) tools
[11:15] <magnetron> Seb962: did you make the usb stick bootable?
[11:15] <soumou> i'll have a look around .. brb
[11:15] <geoaxis> Clarrisa_2008:  got new groups
[11:15] <Seb962> Yes Magnetron, I did.
[11:16] <nix> soumou: just a second, i'll check. what version of roxio is that?
[11:16] <magnetron> Seb962: maybe that part got messed up?
[11:16] <soumou> found it already
[11:16] <ubuntu_> would you recommend using mkfs.ext3 to partition the disk?
[11:16] <nix> soumou:  great
[11:16] <soumou> burn an image is available
[11:16] <Clarrisa_2008> geoaxis, you lost me? got new groups?
[11:16] <zoidberg> hey guys
[11:16] <SimonFoster> ext3? yes
[11:17] <geoaxis> Clarrisa_2008:  did you add your user to admin adm groups yet
[11:17] <Seb962> Well, I tried it twice from scratch. I do see that hidden file that' supposed to be there.
[11:17] <nix> ubuntu_: mkfs.ext3 will format the disk. for partitioning use cfdisk or maybe gparted
[11:17] <ubuntu_> ok great, so that happens before I set a mountpoint and everything
[11:17] <Clarrisa_2008> geoaxis, No, what is the command for that?
[11:17] <SimonFoster> yes
[11:17] <zoidberg> i really want desktop effects (especially 3d rotating workspaces) to work on my video card...but i dunno if it can...its the onboard intel i810....can anyone help  me?
[11:17] <geoaxis> Clarrisa_2008: or perhaps wheel , not really sure which groups are there in xubuntu
[11:17] <ubuntu_> fdisk or cfdisk is good for paritioning i heard
[11:17] <nix> cfdisk will provide you with a nice GUI
[11:17] <SimonFoster> I use fdisk.
[11:18] <nix> mee too
[11:18] <ubuntu_> Ok I think I can figure th rest of this out, this forum is GREAT, thank you so much for offering help
[11:18] <geoaxis> Clarrisa_2008:  as i said user gksu users-admin , when logged in as root
[11:18] <nix> anytime..
[11:18] <Seb962> Magnetron: Well, I tried it twice from scratch. I do see that hidden file that' supposed to be there (
[11:18] <Seb962> (ldlinux.sys)
[11:19] <geoaxis> Clarrisa_2008:  wait let me retarct my statement
[11:19] <nix> lol
[11:19] <geoaxis> you are using Xubuntu so users-admin should not be there by default
[11:19] <SimonFoster> ubuntu_: How big is the disk?
[11:19] <Rodel> What is "X"?
[11:20] <magnetron> Seb962: your succes may vary with different usb sticks
[11:20] <kurisu> does anyone know about hidden PCI busses, found lots of references but no solutions... someone must know
[11:20] <siloko> SimonFoster: type df at the terminal
[11:20] <nix> Rodel: The X Windowing System is affectionatly called X
[11:20] <soumou> nix: cool, thx a bunch ... a ubunch!!!!!   .... burning image now 2:21 time remaining , so i guess i got boot the desktop from this cd
[11:20] <SimonFoster> or du? :-)
[11:20] <soumou> and you can go to sleep finally
[11:20] <Seb962> Magnetron: Gotcha... Maybe reformating the FAT32 stick I have to Fat16 would do the trick?
[11:20] <geoaxis> Clarrisa_2008:  you need usermod -G groupa groupb groubc login
[11:20] <nix> kurisu: maybe lspci -vv
[11:20] <nix> soumou: ok there..
[11:20] <siloko> SimonFoster: well du will gove you a long list of dir's without using swtiches :)
[11:21] <nix> soumou: good luck.
[11:21] <Rodel> nix: what would the package to install X be called
[11:21] <soumou> thanks again!!!
[11:21] <zoidberg> can anyone help me
[11:21] <zoidberg> i really want desktop effects (especially 3d rotating workspaces) to work on my video card...but i dunno if it can...its the onboard intel i810....can anyone help  me?
[11:21] <phazeman> is there any photographer in the room ?
[11:21] <nix> Rodel: what are you currently using? ubuntu?
[11:21] <magnetron> Seb962: depends on which version of syslinux you are using. only the last versions support fat32
[11:21] <nemesys572> I killed the sound mixer and now I don't have a volume control icon on the taskbar, not even after restart, how do I get it back??
[11:21] <Seb962> Magnetron : Yup. I'm using the latest one, triple checked that
[11:22] <Rodel> nix: im using Ubuntu 7.04
[11:22] <magnetron> Seb962: then i am out of ideas
[11:22] <Seb962> Magnetron: Thing is, that it's my only usb stick >.< And I know I can't rely on my Cd burner to read this iso.
[11:22] <silent_> oh man that was some good food
[11:22] <nix> if you are having a nice user interface complete with windows and menus.. then you probably have X installed
[11:22] <kurisu> nix: lspci does not show card
[11:22] <Gerro> does anyone here use a digital camera?? anyone!
[11:22] <magnetron> Seb962: i was fiddling around with an USB stick, but finally resorted to borrow a DVD drive
[11:23] <mjr> zoidberg, should be able to. If your acceleration is not working, try changing default color depth to 16 in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, I recall i810 might've needed that. (Though you can check in /var/log/Xorg.0.log if that's the reason)
[11:23] <nix> kuriso: oh.. k not very familliar with the topic. sorry for wasting ur time.
[11:23] <Rodel> nix: would it then also be enabled at this point?
[11:23] <Seb962> Magnetron: Hahahaha. I think I'm on that same train.
[11:23] <nix> Rodel: righto.
[11:23] <zoidberg> mjr, how do i know if my acceleartion is working
[11:23] <magnetron> Gerro: hi, what is your question?
[11:23] <Rodel> nix: then why would i get this error "checking for X... no   configure: error: X is required, but it was either disabled or not found."
[11:23] <kurisu> nix: no problem thankful for any suggestions atm... this is driving me crazy
[11:24] <mjr> zoidberg, glxinfo | grep direct
[11:24] <nix> Rodel: you need some package that contains the development files for X
[11:24] <jcapote> has anyone run into a problem, where places->connect to server does nothing at all, no matter what connection, auth info you put in?
[11:24] <tinker123> Hi, I am a bit confused.   I just did a clean install of 7.04.    I heard that it would ask me if I wanted beryl and if I wanted proprietary drivers.  It didn't really ask me anything at all.  Am I mistaken?
[11:24] <Rodel> nix: which package would that be? do you know?
[11:25] <Seb962> Tinker123: Don't you need Synaptic for that?
[11:25] <nix> Rodel: I'm not very sure on this one but a search on the site: packages.ubuntu.com with the -dev packages should help
[11:25] <zoidberg> mjr, it says that extension GLX is missing on diplay ":0.0" and cannot find RGB GLX vixual
[11:25] <Gerro> Seb962: apt-get and aptitude as well as wget
[11:25] <AD7si1> Hi all, I've installed apache 2.2 via synaptic, the service is started but http://localhost/ produced 'unable to connect' where should I be looking?
[11:25] <ReSuBa> Does any one know what file i can edit to remove some starting services in VMware?
[11:25] <tinker123> Seb962:  I don't know, that is why I am asking
[11:25] <zoidberg> mjr, is acceleration not enabled?
[11:25] <Gerro> Seb962: and dpkg
[11:25] <zoidberg> mjr, how do i enable it again
[11:25] <mjr> zoidberg, indeed it is not
[11:25] <Seb962> Gerro: Excuse me ? What do you mean :D
[11:26] <Seb962> Tinker123: Let me check that information for you real quick
[11:26] <magnetron> tinker123: hi, which graphics card do you have?
[11:26] <nix> AD7Si1: try http://127.0.0.1/
[11:26] <tinker123> thanks
[11:26] <Gerro> Seb962: learn to use a terminal
[11:26] <tinker123> magnetron:  I have no idea
[11:26] <Gerro> Seb962:
[11:26] <AD7si1> nix same deal. it's as if it isn't there.
[11:26] <Seb962> Gerro: Sure but... What for?
[11:26] <zoidberg> mjr, how do i enable it again?
[11:27] <magnetron> tinker123: actually, compiz is much easier to install than beryl. would you like to try that first?
[11:27] <tinker123> Basically, I was interested in Beryl only so I could tile windows on my desktop
[11:27] <Sh3r1ff> AD7si1: try /etc/init.d/apache2 start, could be it just isn't ru nning
[11:27] <Gerro> Seb962: you wanted to know how to do an installation without synaptic
[11:27] <mjr> zoidberg, please reread what I already said
[11:27] <Gerro> Seb962: course there also is compiling from source if you want to tweak things your own way
[11:27] <tinker123> magnetron:  I am just confused why the installer didn't ask me any of this.  Was it supposed to?
[11:27] <JC_Denton_> Is there any sis m760gx tv out support?
[11:27] <Seb962> Gerro: Naw. I was telling Tinker123 that he might need synaptic to fetch Beryl.
[11:27] <FFighter> f
[11:27] <FFighter> hello
[11:27] <Seb962> Gerro: I'm just having some instalation USB concerns.
[11:27] <FFighter> I REALLY need some help
[11:28] <AD7si1> Sh3r1ff: thanks. now I get an error message (No apache MPM package installed) which I will go fix.
[11:28] <Sh3r1ff> tinker123: because it is not default in the install, if you want it, you must add it afterwards
[11:28] <Gerro> Seb962: the beryl packages listed on synaptic don't work
[11:28] <tinker123> ah okay, I got the impression the install asked
[11:28] <FFighter> I've got an working dsl internet connection after some time breaking my head to configure my speedtouch usb modem to work under ubuntu
[11:28] <anyo> hi guys! how can I access my sony memory card reader in ubuntu ....... I stick the card in and nothing happens - where are these files
[11:28] <FFighter> so far, it is working nicely
[11:28] <Gerro> Seb962: 2.1 version screws up on both computers I have, might want to try 2.0
[11:28] <Seb962> Gerro: Got ya.
[11:28] <FFighter> But I want to share this connection with a XP box...
[11:29] <iMilad> Just a simple question. If I install a program using deb packages will i be notified of its updates?
[11:29] <Gerro> Seb962: the beryl site doesn't even list 2.1 when I checked, is that like some last minute overnight beta?
[11:29] <PriceChild> iMilad, only if its int he reois
[11:29] <PriceChild> *repos
[11:29] <FFighter> I tried all the guides out there with no success
[11:29] <ubuntu_> for the last step to finally mount the disk, I have to edit /etc/fstab and add my disk in there right? Otherwise I have to mount this hard drive everytime I boot my computer correct?
[11:29] <PriceChild> iMilad, which by your not apt-get'ing i guess you don't
[11:29] <FFighter> Could anyone help me ?
[11:29] <tinker123> Okay, so the I am asking about Beryl because I want the ability to tile, cascade windows etc like I can on other deskotps.  I am not married to the idea of beryl.  What is the easiest way to get what I want?
[11:29] <kurisu> ubuntu_: correct
[11:30] <iMilad> PriceChild, tx
[11:30] <Stormx2> Hey. How might I run a trace-route under ubuntu?
[11:30] <ubuntu_> ok great, thanks
[11:30] <Gerro> tinker123: go to beryl site and grab the ubuntu packages you'll need then install compiz and and emerald
[11:30] <FFighter> anyone ?
[11:30] <Elfir3> bonsoir
[11:30] <magnetron> tinker123: that is no problem. if you want desktop effects, check "System" >> "Preferences" >> "Desktop effects"
[11:30] <Gerro> tinker123: you'll also need correct drivers for your card and xgl server on top of xorg
[11:31] <tinker123> Gerro:  thanks for the info, I see it is going to be a project
[11:31] <tinker123> I will schedule it for another time
[11:31] <FFighter> how to share a dsl internet connection with a XP box ? My modem has an additional interface (bridge) that may be making thins more difficult
[11:31] <Elfir3> can someone help me with my joystick ? i works as all the buttons where "turbo" button ... and I don't know how to configure it :/
[11:31] <HungryCakes> I have a question about ./configure-ing gstreamer-0.10.12
[11:32] <HungryCakes> When it checks for XML, it says I need libxml2 for glib2 builds, but I already have it in synaptic
[11:33] <secret> haha there we go :D
[11:33] <tinker123> Next question.  I did a clean install because upgrading from Edgy wouldn't work.  I had a custom sources.list.   It was customized because a version of ubunut before I used one of the earlier versions of automatix which hosed my sources.list and I have been on my own since. Since I have started over with a clean install, if I use a modern version of automatix, and I leave my sources.list alone,  will that be enoug
[11:33] <tinker123> h to prevent future problems using the update manager to upgrade to the enxt version of ubuntu?
[11:34] <homanj> !automatix | tinker123
[11:34] <ubotu> tinker123: 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
[11:34] <secret> Ok, I've been trying to install real player and have officially given up trying to do it by myself, please help?
[11:34] <Rodel> What is happening here "In file included from glitz_glx_drawable.c:30:" "glitz_glxint.h:34:19: error: GL/gl.h: No such file or directory"?
[11:35] <tinker123> ubotu:  thanks for the info
[11:35] <secret> the wiki command doesn't help either... it's the wrong command
[11:36] <secret> =(
[11:36] <stefg> tinker123: it's just not economical to let automatix hose your system over and over again. Just read the docu, everything that automatix tries to do can be achievd properly.
[11:37] <CheshireViking> secret, try this, maybe this is a different how-to? http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_install_Multimedia_Player_.28RealPlayer_10.29
[11:37] <Seb962> Stefg: Tinker is gone :(
[11:37] <stefg> Seb962: thanks for noticing... took me to long to type
[11:37] <Seb962> Stefg: Sorry, wasn't quick enough heh
[11:38] <bech> bonne nuit all
[11:38] <Gerro> does anyone know where ubuntu stores the "camera album" that it so lovingly hides all my photos away in where I can't find them.

[11:44] <ThePioneer> Anyone know of anything I can use to enhance my audio? for totem
[11:44] <kenji> hi, I have a samsung sc-d352 video camera and I wish to download my video records in ubuntu, I plugged it in the usb port and I get this May 27 16:26:46 laboratorio kernel: [17188354.092000]  usb 1-2.1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5

[11:44] <tinker123> Okay, I will take everyone's advice to avoid automatix.   Is EasyUbuntu safe?   If not, what is the easiest way to get DVD playback working?
[11:45] <kenji> the next step is?
[11:45] <Gerro> where is ubuntu's digital camera album located? it just imported my photos and now I'm lost...
[11:45] <CheshireViking> !seveas > tinker123, See the private message from Ubotu
[11:45] <magnetron> Jozxyqk: The only program you will need for that is probably the mixer. double click that speaker in the upper right corner
[11:45] <ThePioneer> Can anyone help me with totem?
[11:45] <Gerro> ThePioneer: look up gstreamer and install every damn one of them
[11:45] <tinker123> CheshireViking:  I can't, I am not an IRC expert
[11:45] <UnNaturalHigh> I am curious if anyone here has had the problem with amarok on ubuntu, where that, it doesn't display the smart playlists after the first install and start?
