[12:01] <preaction> kane77: write one
[12:01] <tovella> Jowi: wow, i didn't know it was simply a matter of loading a module - don't do much with ntfs anymore.
[12:01] <bofh80> kane77, cos, in my very extreme opinion, it's bloatware
[12:01] <callidusfox> Anyone uses PGP encyption for email ? Can someone tell me if I need to give me private key to the person I want to have secure communication with? I understand that the public key is for signature, and so it the private key for actual encryption ?
[12:01] <bofh80> kane77, ie, it sucks
[12:01] <pietro10> callidusfox: I think so
[12:01] <irielion_> hey i just bought a new laptop and the system keeps freezing, witht he message: BUG: soft lockup detected on
[12:01] <irielion_> CPU#0!
[12:01] <Jowi> same here tovella, I haven't touched it in years. but I do have some friends (amazing by itself I know!)
[12:01] <irielion_> IIm really out of ideass
[12:01] <pietro10> irielion_: kernel fault - reinstall
[12:01] <dusty1> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23653/
[12:01] <TakeOut{u}> because something being 64bit is not a matter of just going, yay its 64 bit, especially with a whole VM and language
[12:01] <dusty1> i think i did it right..
[12:02] <preaction> callidusfox: no, you keep your private key private. you encrypt with your private key and decrypt with the public key
[12:02] <n2diy> callidusfox: no don't give your private key to anyone, just your public key.
[12:02] <irielion_> pietro10: i already did reinstall
[12:02] <Jowi> callidusfox, the public key you can give away to whoever you want. the private key is for signing.
[12:02] <siloko> anyone used a toshiba rescue disk to create a virtual machine in feisty (bit of a long shot I know!!)??
[12:02] <irielion_> pietro10: i did cd check and the check passed
[12:02] <pietro10> dusty: enable the Universe, Multiverse, and Restricted repos - else I don't know
[12:02] <kane77> preaction, there is already one for 32bit and according to java's principles write once run anywhere it should run no matter what (as long as jvm exists for the platform/os)
[12:03] <callidusfox> Jowi: n2diy: preaction: but then anyone can get my public key and decrypt the email even if I sent it not to them ?
[12:03] <tom_> hi i don't know if this is the right place to ask, but its about foss and the first on my bookmarks list so ill give it a shot. I work as an IT technician for a company, the guy that did the job before me designed a database, with tables and forms for a gui. along with reports, in microsoft access. I have migrated the data (tables) to mysql, but want to drop the access bulk altogether. However the database is vb heavy, and any efforts to open or convert are
[12:03] <tom_> fruitless. Is there an easy migration route for this, to any free software alternative, php? oo.org-base? anything?
[12:03] <pietro10> irielion_: Can you update your Linux kernel or does the screen freeze before you can?
[12:03] <preaction> kane77: so you answered your own question?
[12:03] <dusty1> pietro10: how do i do that?
[12:03] <dyrne> siloko: just get a torrent for xp
[12:03] <nickrud> !source-o-matic > dusty
[12:03] <pietro10> torn_: OpenOffice.org 2 has a database you can use
[12:03] <siloko> i was hoping to do it abov board . . .
[12:03] <kane77> preaction, not realy I still dont understand why it isn;t available :/
[12:03] <carolyn> r00tintheb0x, nope :/
[12:03] <pietro10> !access | torn_
[12:03] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about access - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:03] <dusty1> sorry i am somewhat new etc
[12:03] <pietro10> !database | torn_
[12:03] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about database - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:04] <irielion_> pietro10: well i can use it and sometimes it just works, i also updated of course, all lot of bugs have been reported witht hsi message and it seems to have to do with wireless
[12:04] <nickrud> !sourc-o-matic
[12:04] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sourc-o-matic - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:04] <nickrud> I cannot type today
[12:04] <irielion_> pietro10: however they are claimed to be resolved
[12:04] <r00tintheb0x> carolyn, you need to register so we can PM back and forth...
[12:04] <tom_> pietro10: yea, but is there an easy way to migrate my existing db to oo.org?
[12:04] <siloko> bloody annoying yo buy the os with your laptop but don't actually get the os :(
[12:04] <r00tintheb0x> i cant concentrate with text flying by @ 400mph
[12:04] <pietro10> It should already work as the file format is compatible
[12:04] <preaction> kane77: because nobody wrote one
[12:04] <bofh80> tom_, i believe i came across something very similar to what your looking for, how ever i will have to try and look it up again, as i well, forgot what it is :(
[12:04] <carolyn> r00tintheb0x, register where?
[12:04] <r00tintheb0x> here in irc.
[12:04] <pietro10> irielion_: I can't help you then, sorry. Try talking to the guys at #linux
[12:04] <dusty1> wow its hard to keep up and read what everyone is saying
[12:05] <dyrne> carolyn: /msg nickserv register somepassword
[12:05] <nickrud> dusty1, you need to go to http://ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic and follow the instructions there to rebuild your sources (at least)
[12:05] <tom_> bofh80: if you could that would be great, any opertunity to save money and my boss gives me a pay rise :D
[12:05] <pietro10> dusty1: I know
[12:05] <r00tintheb0x> carolyn, type this in this channel window: /msg nickserv help register
[12:05] <kane77> preaction, no there is written plugin...
[12:05] <pietro10> :-X
[12:05] <r00tintheb0x> or you can give me one of your messenger addresses
[12:05] <siloko> i suppose i could use vmware converter from within my xp install - but that involves booting into xp :)
[12:05] <noob> why doens't bittorrent show up in my menu?
[12:05] <stefg> tom_: OOo-BAse is probably your best shot, but be ready to re-implemet the VB stuff in one of OOo's macro languages. #openoffice should be able to give you hints
[12:05] <Jowi> callidusfox, http://aplawrence.com/Basics/gpg.html
[12:05] <r00tintheb0x> like MSN Yahoo or AIM.
[12:05] <pietro10> noob: Applications -> Internet
[12:05] <siloko> something i'm not keen on . . .
[12:05] <Azhi_Dahaka> has anyone configured an ati radeon xpress 200 on 6.06?
[12:05] <pietro10> But you only need to double-click on a .torrent file
[12:06] <dyrne> siloko: youve already been tainted just holding the rescue cd. might as well reboot :)
[12:06] <preaction> callidusfox: or this: http://www.gnupg.org/(en)/documentation/howtos.html
[12:06] <tom_> stefg: yea thats what i thought, but the amount of code is huge, its been built over like 3 years
[12:06] <n2diy> callidusfox: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography
[12:06] <pietro10> !ati | Azhi_Dahaka
[12:06] <ubotu> Azhi_Dahaka: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:06] <carolyn> r00tintheb0x, it says i'm already registered
[12:06] <noob> pietro10: It's not there, I just installed ubuntu, it should be there
[12:06] <Azhi_Dahaka> are the binaries neccesary?
[12:06] <siloko> dyrne: lol
[12:06] <tom_> stefg: i was really looking for an automated conversion
[12:06] <Azhi_Dahaka> necessary?
[12:06] <stefg> tom_: ever heard the term vendor lock in?
[12:06] <bofh80> tom_, but since your problem is specfically with the VB, as such you've migrated the actual data, and i assume the VB is used as an Interface to the access data, is the problem that you need a whole new interface or that you don't code VB so can't understand the call he's making etc?
[12:06] <pietro10> noob: you only need to double-click a .torrent file
[12:06] <r00tintheb0x> carolyn, thats probably because your IRC nickname is super generic
[12:06] <r00tintheb0x> make it like carolyn_yourbirthday
[12:06] <r00tintheb0x> like
[12:06] <tom_> stefg: i know, not my fault, the techie before me made the bed, now ive gotta lie in it
[12:06] <r00tintheb0x> carolyn711979
[12:07] <pietro10> but if you really need a torrent, just go to Applications > Add/Remove and search for torrent or bittorrent
[12:07] <r00tintheb0x> then you can register
[12:07] <nickrud> noob, if you really want the bittorent menu item, enable it in system-prefs-main menu
[12:07] <dyrne> carolyn: or carolyn_ssn_mothersmaidenname
[12:07] <dusty1> i hate being new.. lol first time using ubuntu i use to be good with mandrivia a few years ago but yea..
[12:07] <tom_> bofh80: no i can code in vb, but thers just that much code that it would take me a hell of a long time to do it
[12:07] <novato_br> how can I get to install the codec h264 no ubuntu?
[12:07] <bofh80> uhm, does Mono compile VB code?
[12:07] <noob> nickrud: Aha thanks
[12:07] <pietro10> noob: Right-click on the Applications Menu and choose Edit
[12:07] <tom_> bofh80: i just want out of microsoft access
[12:08] <userfriendly> HI!
[12:08] <bofh80> tom_, yeah, it's completely unfriendly hehehe
[12:08] <stefg> tom_: i'm not talking about whose faut it was, but how to break the vendor lock. better asks the OOo experts if there is a conversion of VB possible (which i doubt)
[12:08] <nickrud> that's a nice change
[12:08] <tom_> bofh80: lol
[12:08] <userfriendly> I have a question
[12:08] <nickrud> !ask
[12:08] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:09] <userfriendly> If I install Ubuntu 7, will it erase all my files?
[12:09] <tom_> stefg: yea i was only joking lol, i looked into vb conversion, but no methods seem much past alpha
[12:09] <osxdude> !ubuntu
[12:09] <ubotu> Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com
[12:09] <nickrud> userfriendly, not unless you tell it to
[12:09] <PriceChild> userfriendly, no, you can make it shorten the windows partition and put ubuntu on the end
[12:09] <PriceChild> userfriendly, please keep backups just incase you make a mistake or things go wrong
[12:09] <whonicca> can someone help me install ubuntu please
[12:09] <dusty1> nickrud: i  did the auto generate thing you sent me to now what heh..
[12:09] <userfriendly> I mean over my 6.6 install
[12:09] <stefg> tom_: so you have a brilliant of sharpening your profile and tidying up the messy VB-code... Two-in-one :-)
[12:10] <pietro10> userfriendly: depends on what you do
[12:10] <stefg> *opportunity
[12:10] <Jowi> userfriendly, if you already have linux installed and the /home folder in a seperate partition then just tell it not to format /home
[12:10] <pietro10> userfriendly: otherwise, sorry
[12:10] <lancer> Okay - I give up - need to ask help. I've got about 8Gb of student files transfered onto a dir on my desktop via \cp -puRf so permissions etc are the same. I'm thinking I should be ROOT to make a DVD from the directory... when I try it seems to freeze up in nautilus CD-burner (launched via sudo command line)... I thinjk the way to do this is to log in as root (from log in screen) but it won't let me :-(
[12:10] <userfriendly> OK, thanks! Bye!
[12:10] <nickrud> dusty1, a sec
[12:10] <tom_> stefg: ha yea, in 3 years time lol
[12:10] <dv83r> ive downloaded a couple themes from gnome-look.org , they come as  blah.desktop, and i cant install them from the system>themes menu
[12:10] <VeganChick001> speaking of installing ubuntu, a grad student friend of my dad's did some usability testing for windows users (no linux experience) and 4/6 were given default setup options on install that would've wiped their entire windows system off
[12:10] <dv83r> im on fiesty fawn
[12:10] <osxdude> I have windows, and I had to reinstall. Now I have to activate. I have no internet connection because when I installed it it went right to the end of the 30-day period. How can I configure the wireless connection?
[12:11] <osxdude> !windows
[12:11] <ubotu> For help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows or your nearest mental health institute. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and !equivalents
[12:11] <erUSUL> lancer: you should be able to burn a dvd as normal user...
[12:11] <whonicca> how many partitions does the normal installer make? ext3 and a swap?
[12:11] <VeganChick001> but apparently ubuntu says that you don't need any documentation to dual-boot w/ windows
[12:11] <dusty1> nickrud: thanks
[12:11] <TehRealNexGen> hi ive got a problem creating an iso http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x194/TehRealNexGen/screenshot1.png
[12:11] <noob> oh god, there is almost too many people here :)
[12:11] <whonicca> is reiserfs significantly faster than ext3?
[12:11] <tom_> ill try on the openoffice channel
[12:12] <lancer> No I can;t erUSUL because the normal user can't access the files with their user ownerships
[12:12] <pietro10> I just wound up wiping out Beryl
[12:12] <nickrud> dusty, you need to copy it to the right location, but first make a backup of the first one:  so:  in a terminal, type cp /etc/apt/sources.list ~/Desktop/sources.list.old
[12:12] <pietro10> It is still on but not functional
[12:12] <gif89apro> anyone know how to modify /etc/hosts to include a host file from another machine on my network?
[12:12] <Falstius> whonicca: not for daily use, only specialized benchmarks.
[12:12] <mangojambo> vai caga ..
[12:12] <erUSUL> lancer: not even for reading?
[12:12] <mangojambo> i mean, hello guys ..
[12:12] <dyrne> gif89apro: other than just appending the file?
[12:12] <pietro10> Never mind I fixed it
[12:12] <whonicca> Falstius: but is it still un par with ext3 for daily use?
[12:12] <Goop> osxdude: You are not helping anyone with windows problems here. Dont jsut tell people they are crazy
[12:12] <whonicca> on*
[12:12] <Jowi> lancer, first, you should use gksudo instead of sudo with GUI apps. second, see if the DVD media is bad. third, use a different application to burn with.
[12:12] <pietro10> mangojambo: hi
[12:13] <osxdude> Well I have a windows problem.
[12:13] <gif89apro> dyrne: yes, i want to have one master list that all my machines use
[12:13] <lancer> Jowi, gksudo - I'll try :-)
[12:13] <osxdude> Goop: well I have a windows problem
[12:13] <Falstius> whonicca: yeah, although it lacks some of the compatibility of ext3fs.  I used it for awhile on my home directory and it only cause headaches.
[12:13] <nickrud> erm, dusty1 did you see that thing I wrote for dusty above ;)
[12:13] <Falstius> gif89apro: yeah, you can with nis+.
[12:13] <Goop> osxdude: >.< sorry, i thought someone else had the prob lol
[12:13] <whonicca> Falstius: how so, im in the middle of installing and i picked reiserfs ;O
[12:14] <pietro10> osxdude: what's your problem?
[12:14] <Goop> osxdude: will it not let you on the internet on windows?
[12:14] <gif89apro> Falstuis: can you explain please?
[12:14] <whonicca> might have to reinstall if all im doing is looking for trouble
[12:14] <dyrne> gif89apro: im no expert the easiest way might be to use fuse to mount the /etc dir of the main machine and make a link to that file in the mounted dir. i dont know how to point to another hosts file path. i guess id use sshfs or somethine
[12:14] <stefg> a guy called osxdude has a windows-problem... hmm, could that be a case for #troll-alert ?
[12:14] <pietro10> You probably have a linmodem :-)
[12:15] <Jowi> no stefg it should be #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[12:15] <Rodel> how do i uninstall a package via terminal?
[12:15] <Falstius> whonicca: I think it is harder to resize, and there aren't windows drivers for it like there are for ext3fs (ofcourse I don't dual boot anymore).  It also got really screwed up when I had my harddrive partitioned strangely and I thought I'd lost all of my data.
[12:15] <osxdude> I had to reinstall windows (just a reconfig install) and for some reason there was no "pre-activation" period so I could never configure my wireless adapter.
[12:15] <PriceChild> osxdude, please go to ##windows for support
[12:15] <osxdude> ok, thanks!
[12:15] <gif89apro> dyrne: well, i thought there was a way to do something like #include \\server\path-to\hosts  but can't find any documentation like that
[12:15] <lancer> Okay Jowi  - I'ts at the "calculating size" stage of DVD creation - this is where it kind of halted before.
[12:16] <gilos> yea... finally got the 1680x1050 resolution working!
[12:16] <Corbeaux> I'm trying to reinstall GRUB on an HP-DL380 with Ubuntu Server (Feisty), I tried using the rescue option on th install CD but I'm probably entering the wrong options for root(hdx,y). Anyone has suggestions?
[12:16] <Falstius> gif89apro: you set up one machine on the network as an nis server.  The others as clients.  they can share almost any configuration file, but primarly it is used for hostnames, ssh keys, and logins.  You'll have to google for detailed instructions.  It isn't terribly complicated, but you should be very comfortable with the command line.
[12:16] <pietro10> Java has something called the DLJ in the restricted zone
[12:16] <Jowi> lancer, if it still fail, see if you get the same result on a different DVD-/+RW (re writable discs are heaven sent for weird burning problems)
[12:16] <gif89apro> Falstius: oh yes, i prefer command line to anything else... i'll look it up
[12:17] <pietro10> Corebeaux: In terminal type sudo install-grub (hda0)
[12:17] <pietro10> Replace (hda0) with (sda0) for SCSI
[12:17] <lancer> Jowi,  Y'think I should leave it a couple of hours? Like - maybe it's tarballing or soemthing befoire write and just takes a long time?
[12:18] <Corbeaux> pietro10, we tried that already i think, we also tried sda1
[12:18] <Jowi> lancer, honestly no idea.
[12:18] <lancer> Jowi, I've used these type disks before. Brand new. It's also not up to the "write" part yet.

[12:20] <irotas> can anyone recommend a simple standalone calendar application from the Ubuntu repository?
[12:20] <lancer> Other way around this problem: (I prefer command line where possible) - what would be the mkisofs options to create a dir of say /home/myhomedir WITHOUT including the full path (e.g. everything iside /home/myhomedir) but preserving all long filenames etc and maybe even permissions if possible?

[12:23] <whonicca> does anyone know how well reiserfs works with ntfs filesystems?
[12:23] <pietro10> startx
[12:23] <whonicca> can i copy things on my ntfs drive onto my reiserfs drive and vice versa with no problem?
[12:23] <Fawaz> nope
[12:23] <sx66_> when I want to edit my xorg.config nothing shows up?
[12:23] <pietro10> whonicca: from ntfs, yes
[12:24] <darwin81> How can I change the sound that plays when Ubuntu starts up?
[12:24] <pietro10> to ntfs, no - get ntfs-3g
[12:24] <tom_> bofh80: yea i thought it was just for .net stuff though, ill have a look thanks :P
[12:24] <lancer> New angle: How can I log into desktop from log in screen at startup, but as ROOT ?
[12:24] <Pelo> lancer, sudi -i I beleive, or maybe with gksu -i,  someting along those lines
[12:24] <pietro10> Fawaz: you forgot X11!
[12:24] <pietro10> You'll have to try again, I'm afraid :-(
[12:24] <bofh80> tom_, i'm not a developer myself, more a network admin, but my friend has a VB program with an Access database, and i was lookin for methods of doing the same thing :)
[12:24] <Falstius> whonicca: the filesystem is pretty irrelevant for that.  If you can r/w to each drive you can copy.  (install ntfs-3g for ntfs read write)
[12:24] <pietro10> !ntfs
[12:24] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[12:25] <phylogenesis> I ran the upgrade again, and it finished downloading the files, and started installing stuff, I left (said about an hour left) for 5 minutes, when I come back it's just sitting here on my desktop
[12:25] <stefg> lancer: you would have to override a couple of defaults... you don't to need to login to a root desktop, running nautilus with root priv's can do anything
[12:25] <noob> which is the best gtk direct connect (dc++  program) in ubuntu repos?
[12:25] <tom_> bofh80: oh right, well im just fed up of it, weve got such old hardware at work, access is so slow
[12:25] <leonpant> darwin81 go to System->Preferences->Sound and Tabs Sound.Change the login sound
[12:25] <bofh80> tom_, i'd assume you might have to change the access calls to SQL calls yourself tho . . .. . .. how many of them there are i'm not sure obviously :P ...... unless they'll still work with it in access format on linux
[12:25] <pietro10> phylogenesis: wait
[12:25] <Fawaz> pietro10: i typed all the command u gave me all show "command not found" any other cclues?
[12:25] <phylogenesis> the update manager is closed, and when I try to run it from the command line (nothing happens when I go System->Administration->Update Manager)
[12:26] <phylogenesis> I get Traceback (most recent call last):      File "/usr/bin/update-manager", line 32, in <module>
[12:26] <phylogenesis> from UpdateManager.UpdateManager import UpdateManager    ImportError: No module named UpdateManager.UpdateManager
[12:26] <pietro10> Fawaz: reinstall do you have the LiveCD?
[12:26] <tom_> bofh80: no ive migrated the data to mysql already and changed the calls
[12:26] <bofh80> tom_ yeah ,access sucks big time . . . oh cool . .. . .
[12:26] <pietro10> phylogenesis and Fawaz need to reinstall

[12:27] <pietro10> Then i don't know what to do Fawaz
[12:27] <Fawaz> pietro10: shouldn't be reinstalling my last option?
[12:27] <pietro10> irotas: you're welcome
[12:27] <tom_> bofh80:so i dunno, may end up having to rewrite it all in php lol

[12:28] <phylogenesis> pietro10:  reinstall 6.10?
[12:28] <pietro10> get 7.04 instead
[12:28] <bofh80> tom_, heheheh, well installing Mono is easy enough, the interface is nice i believe (i might have looked at it before, i can't remember) . . .
[12:28] <kalon33> phylogenesis: do you have enough space on your drive, and edgy-updates repository enabled ?
[12:28] <Pelo> osxdude, where do you want to move your /home folder to ? a diffrent partition ?
[12:28] <bofh80> tom_, it's availble in Add / Remvoe(i think), and Synaptic
[12:28] <osxdude> Pelo: I want to move it to a second HDD I have in my PC.
[12:29] <phylogenesis> I have enough hard drive space, I don't know about the edgy-updates repository
[12:29] <kalon33> phylogenesis: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[12:29] <zach> hey all, anyone know how to set it up so you can use a flash drive to kinda, 'extend' system memory (or is using it as swap the only way?)

[12:29] <ubotu> phylogenesis: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[12:29] <lancer> ubotu, I don't think you understand my question - I need to run DVD writer (nautilus one) as ROOT because I'm using it to access files under multiple user permissions. But nautilus-cdwriter (similar name) won't run because it fails to perform taks when run from standard user desktop even with sudo etc etc... and Ubuntu won't let me log in as ROOT from log in screen to get around it (Fedora never did this to me)
[12:30] <pietro10> ubotu is a bot he is not intelligent
[12:30] <tom_> bofh80: hmmm doesnt look promising, seems it can just run .net based vb projects, nothing in applications sucha s access or excel
[12:30] <Pelo> osxdude, boot up the live cd,  mount both hdd,  move the /user  folders the new hdd ( not /home)  then edit fstab to mount the second hdd to /home as a mount point
[12:30] <gratuit> I'm currently using bluefish to edit my html, and am looking for a script or program that will publish(i.e. upload any files changed since last time I uploaded) my webpage files, is there anything anyone recommends?(I'm using an ftp client now, but I want something automated that I can just type <command> and be done)
[12:30] <pietro10> just type gksudo in a terminal followed by the command
[12:30] <kalon33> phylogenesis: go in System, administration, software sources, updates and see if edgy-updates is enabled
[12:30] <tom_> gratuit: something like rsync?
[12:30] <tom_> maybe
[12:30] <lancer> It's still not working under gksu -i :-( :-( :-(
[12:31] <pietro10> if that doesn't work then type gksudo -s, hit enter, enter your password, then enter the command
[12:31] <lancer> This is SOOO stupid.
[12:31] <pietro10> !su
[12:31] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[12:31] <pietro10> You just need to do gksudo -s
[12:31] <lancer> pietro10, same problem with su
[12:31] <pietro10> OK
[12:31] <Pelo> lancer,  man gksu , see if that is the correct option,  I said I was just guessing
[12:31] <osxdude> Pelo: I use an NTFS drive that auto mounts because of ntfs-config. But anyway...   okay, I will do that now.
 like that but one that operates over ftp
[12:31] <pietro10> Right-click on the files to burn, and change the owner to you and/or enable write access
[12:32] <tom_> gratuit: im not sure, cant your coax rsync to cooperate with ftp?
[12:32] <lancer> su does not work, sudo does not work and neither does gksu
[12:32] <google_> 
[12:32] <pietro10> So you need to manually change permissions

[12:45] <cheeseboy> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/scd0,
[12:45] <cheeseboy>        missing codepage or other error
[12:45] <PiNE> i have been trying to change my default browser in gaim but i can't find where i change it.  i assume it is somewhere in the prefs section, does anyone know where it is?
[12:45] <cheeseboy>        in some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
[12:45] <cheeseboy>        dmesg | tail  or so
[12:45] <cheeseboy> wth?
[12:46] <Pelo> wht1,  some ppl have had various issues after updating to the latest kernel,   you might need to reconfigure your video card,
[12:46] <bofh80> tom_, it does, but it won't take more than an hour to discern if your going to get anywhere
[12:46] <a> ok  i have a toshiba a 60-170  and i want to use kpowersave, is possible?
[12:46] <cheeseboy> how i mount cd drive??
[12:46] <jrib> PiNE: system -> preferences -> preferred applications doesn't work?
[12:46] <Pelo> a ask in #kubuntu
[12:46] <VeganChick001> i'm having problems splitting an ISO file...
[12:46] <wht1> pelo, how can i reconfigure it? also, when was the newest kernel released?
[12:46] <tom_> bofh80: yea, ill think about it more on monday morning i think :D
[12:46] <gonzaloaf_work> Pelo, I have myspell-es installed and still I cannot do a spellcheck in spanish
[12:47] <Pelo> cheeseboy,  cd drives should mount automaticaly
[12:47] <gonzaloaf_work> Pelo, nor in english
[12:47] <Pelo> wht1, about 4 days ago
[12:47] <wht1> pelo, i've kept up to date entirely and this resolution issue just happened right now
[12:47] <cheeseboy> it gave me error
[12:47] <wht1> pelo, ok well how can I reconfigure it?
[12:47] <PiNE> jrib, of course it is the system default, not gaim's.  i should have thought of that... but it probably would have taken days!  thanks.
[12:47] <Pelo> gonzaloaf_work, you probably need to enable it in the preferences,  you can also try asking in #openoffice.org
[12:47] <bofh80> erUSUL, i understand this, but are they not going to include any bug fixes at all ?
[12:47] <kalon33> phylogenesis: you could try  sudo apt-get -f -m dist-upgrade but it is risky... maybe you won't be able to use your install after...
[12:47] <gonzaloaf_work> Pelo, they dont talk
[12:47] <Pelo> wht1, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[12:48] <wht1> thank you
[12:48] <Pelo> gonzaloaf_work, not every channel is as busy as this one , you need some patience
[12:48] <Pelo> gonzaloaf_work, and you actrualy need to ask a question for them to answer
[12:48] <bofh80> erUSUL, i'm not screaming for updates to main programs, or new versions of this or that, just simple security and a few bug fixes . . . . .or do they simply move straight onto the next version, if so, when can i start updating beta style :)

[12:50] <phible> hi all! just a quick question: i've just found a bad bug in evolutino (segfault). I know exactly where it crashes (just debugged it) and want to report it. Is it better to report it at launchpad or directly at upstream?
[12:50] <Elfboy> can some one tell me that this means E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[12:50] <Elfboy> E: Unable to lock the download directory
[12:50] <ikonia> gonzaloaf_work: you need to install different dictionary languages and set the default language
[12:50] <Ropechoborra> Hiz
[12:50] <Pelo> cheeseboy, have you tried a regular cd ?
[12:51] <gonzaloaf_work> ikonia, done
[12:51] <ikonia> Elfboy: use sudo
[12:51] <cheeseboy> yes
[12:51] <erUSUL> phible: use launchpad
[12:51] <ikonia> gonzaloaf_work: then if it doesn't work log a bug
[12:51] <Elfboy> <--fells stuoid
[12:51] <cheeseboy> its mounted as read only
[12:51] <gonzaloaf_work> ikonia, what packages do you refer?

[12:51] <VeganChick001> where do the files go when you split a file w/ terminal?
[12:51] <kalon33> use synaptic
[12:51] <phible> erUSUL: OK, thanks :)
[12:51] <ikonia> gonzaloaf_work: what packages ??? you told me you where using opensofice
[12:51] <ikonia> cheeseboy: cdroms are read only
[12:51] <cheeseboy> cd-rw
[12:51] <tom_> bofh80: shooting people always sounds good at this time lol
[12:51] <Pelo> cheeseboy, I assume that you might have to change permission   try  sudo chmod 755 /path/
[12:51] <hagabaka> how can i search which package in the repository has */bin/ipsec?
[12:52] <erUSUL> phible: in the bug report there is a link you can press that says something like "also affects upstream" use that to
[12:52] <whta> ok Pelo, i've never had to run through any of this stuff and I've never even heard of what half of this is. should I continue anyway with the xorg reconfigure? it isn't automatically detecting anything, though I don't know if it should

[12:52] <Thatguy> Hello, I changed motherboards on my PC and had to use a different video card. The X server crashed now, how do I fix?
[12:52] <Elfboy> ok whats is this Make sure you have the 'universe' component enabled
[12:52] <erUSUL> Thatguy: try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'
[12:52] <Pelo> whta, when in doubt just use the default provided
[12:52] <stefg> !beryl | eoy
[12:52] <ubotu> eoy: Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[12:52] <gonzaloaf_work> ikonia, I mean.. what else pkgs do I need to install to do what I want?
[12:52] <Thatguy> 1 sec, I'll try
[12:53] <ikonia> gonzaloaf_work: whatever dictionary your using, for example ispell
[12:53] <Pelo> whta, and you might need to add the extra resolutions you need to the xorg.conf file
[12:53] <eth`> !eth` | bitlbee
[12:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about eth` - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[12:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bitblee - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:53] <cheeseboy> ugh
[12:53] <cheeseboy> wth
[12:53] <erUSUL> hagabaka: dpkg -S string
[12:53] <ikonia> eth`: why are you saying peoples names to the bot ?
[12:53] <hagabaka> erUSUL: that only searches installed package right?
[12:53] <cheeseboy> how i m,ount cdrom as read-write ???
[12:54] <cheeseboy> command
[12:54] <Ropechoborra> cheeseboy you cant
[12:54] <erUSUL> hagabaka: may be...
[12:54] <phylogenesis> kalon33:  it won't even let me remove them :-(  It says fix broken packages first!
[12:54] <cheeseboy> its a cd-rw
[12:54] <cheeseboy> its a cd-rw
[12:54] <cheeseboy> how i m,ount cdrom as read-write ???
[12:54] <erUSUL> !find /bin/ipsec
[12:54] <hagabaka> i want to search in packages in the repository
[12:54] <Thatguy> erUSUL, I am now confused while at this screen
[12:54] <ikonia> cheeseboy: you don'
[12:54] <ubotu> File /bin/ipsec found in openswan
[12:54] <hagabaka> not the filesystem
[12:54] <ikonia> cheeseboy: you need an application to burn to it
[12:54] <hagabaka> hmm
[12:54] <Ropechoborra> cheeseboy you can use a tool or a command to record it, but cannot mount it with a write permission
[12:54] <cheeseboy> it cabnt becausde it isnt mounted right
[12:55] <bofh80> erUSUL, heheh, oops, security updates where not ticked in synaptic......now i have new kernel to install lol . . .. .
[12:55] <Ropechoborra> Uhm
[12:55] <schilling> ikonia, is there a way to avoid this 10 second delay in phpsysinfo?
[12:55] <schilling> is this a normal bevaviour?
[12:55] <ikonia> schilling: re-write the php
[12:55] <erUSUL> Thatguy: confused?
[12:55] <Ropechoborra> cheeseboy did u try with sudo?
[12:55] <Elfboy> is there something that will help me get kdirc to install
[12:55] <cheeseboy> yes
[12:55] <schilling> ikonia, so this is not a bug it's a feature? ;)
[12:55] <cheeseboy> ITS NOT MOUNTED right
[12:55] <Thatguy> I'm  not sure what driver I need
[12:55] <ikonia> cheeseboy: you need to use a program to write to it, you don't mount it
[12:55] <ikonia> cheeseboy: don't shout
[12:55] <kalon33> phylogenesis: try to reinstall them, not remove
[12:56] <erUSUL> Thatguy: which card do you have?
[12:56] <ikonia> schilling: the 10 second delay is "info" gathering
[12:56] <cheeseboy> well ive said it 8 times and ustill dont understand
[12:56] <Thatguy> onboard graphics for the ABIT IP-95
[12:56] <cheeseboy> nothing can open the cd because its not mounted right
[12:56] <ikonia> cheeseboy: no - your don't understand
[12:56] <erUSUL> Thatguy: nvidia chipset?
[12:56] <ikonia> cheeseboy: youd didn't ask to open the the cdrom, you asked to mount it read and write
[12:56] <Thatguy> Maybe
[12:56] <cheeseboy> ubuntu says its nor m,ounted right
[12:57] <Thatguy> I think so, as google says
[12:57] <erUSUL> Thatguy: lspci | grep VGA
[12:57] <schilling> ikonia, ok. i c thanks. i though there is something like proftpd with this reverse dns lookup thing
[12:57] <phylogenesis> kalon33:  I can't do anything, it only gives me the option to mark for remove, mark for complete removal, and unmark
[12:57] <Thatguy> But I'm still in the menu thing, or is that a selection?
[12:57] <ikonia> cheeseboy: I don't know - its your box, but you've asked a different question. What do you actually want to do
[12:57] <phylogenesis> and when i choose remove, it automatically set python to mark as upgrade
[12:57] <cheeseboy> mount mty cd drive
[12:57] <phylogenesis> and I can't change it :-(
[12:57] <ikonia> schilling: reveser dns can be used by any ap
[12:57] <ikonia> cheeseboy: just put a cdrom in and it will mount it
[12:57] <cheeseboy> it wont
[12:57] <phylogenesis> it ignores unmark->python
[12:58] <cheeseboy> for 10th time
[12:58] <phylogenesis> well it ignores anything->python
[12:58] <erUSUL> Thatguy: here i read that it has via unicrhome ...
[12:58] <ikonia> cheeseboy: mount it manually
[12:58] <bofh80> cheeseboy, how many different CD's have you tried ?
[12:58] <cheeseboy> so i want manual command
[12:58] <PriceChild> cheeseboy, /mount /dev/hdc /media/cdrom
[12:58] <cheeseboy> wat ive been asking for
[12:58] <ikonia> cheeseboy: drop the attitude - you asked for it to be mounted read-write a minute ago, people are getting it wrong because your changing the question
[12:58] <dyrne> cheeseboy: mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt
[12:58] <kalon33> phylogenesis: try to install a package, the one you want, to see if it will recover automatically
[12:58] <PriceChild> dyrne, don't mount things on /mnt... bad practice
[12:58] <PriceChild> dyrne, /mnt/foo is ok though
[12:58] <dyrne> cheeseboy: be nice ikonia contributes alot of his time here :0
[12:58] <cheeseboy> my question was always the same u just missed a part or something
[12:59] <kalon33> (from synaptic)
[12:59] <bofh80> i'll bet he's been popping a DVD into his CDrom drive over and over
[12:59] <Thatguy> I'm sorry, I stupid, does that mean I select "via"?
[12:59] <ikonia> cheeseboy: I'm no going to argue - but your question was how do you mount it read-write, not how do you mount it because it won't mount
[12:59] <erUSUL> Thatguy: yes select via as graphic driver
[01:00] <Thatguy> I'll see if it works
[01:00] <Thatguy> 1 sec
[01:00] <bofh80> cheeseboy, have you tried a CD that you haven't melted cheese onto ?
[01:00] <VeganChick001> how do i modify the split command? if i put 100m after split, it tries to split that!
[01:00] <noob> I can't download more than one torrent, why?
[01:00] <noob> how do I change it?
[01:00] <PriceChild> bofh80, please drop the attitude
[01:00] <dyrne> VeganChick001: split -b 100m
[01:00] <erUSUL> Thatguy: you have to go through all the other questions to get a new xorg.conf
[01:00] <irielion_> ey when the system freezes hwo can i find out what went wrong, i know that i get a "bug soft lockup detected on cpu0",, but i need to know when, cuz in failsafe i have no problems
[01:01] <bofh80> PriceChild, i'm just askin . . . :P
[01:01] <cheeseboy> it wont mount
[01:01] <cheeseboy> saying read-write error
[01:01] <ikonia> irielion_: soft lockup is normally a chipset/cpu unsupporteed feature or a hardware error
[01:01] <ikonia> cheeseboy: you caan only mount it read only
[01:01] <cheeseboy> i put command u guys gave
[01:01] <cheeseboy> greg@gfundies:~/eggdrop$ sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0
[01:01] <cheeseboy> mount: block device /dev/scd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
[01:02] <ikonia> cheeseboy: ls -la /dev/cdrom please
[01:02] <cheeseboy> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2007-06-01 14:25 /dev/cdrom -> scd0
[01:02] <b0wlman> Anybody know a good .avi player which doesnt loose sound sync?
[01:02] <riddlebox> is there any way to stop ubuntu from asking for a password to connect to my wireless everytime I boot?
[01:02] <phylogenesis> kalon33:  well I think it's reinstalling stuff right now
[01:02] <ikonia> cheeseboy: is there a cdrom in the drive now ?
[01:02] <irielion_> ikonia: yes i understand that, but i need to know which module is causing this problem
[01:02] <cheeseboy> yes
[01:02] <dyrne> b0wlman: mplayer is the answer to every media question :)
[01:02] <cheeseboy> but its same no matter what
[01:02] <Jordan_U> b0wlman, VLC, Totem

[01:03] <ikonia> cheeseboy: you can't mount an empty cdrom drive
[01:03] <phylogenesis> kalon33:  I went through the list and chose reinstall (it gave me the option for the second one, then suddenly I could choose it for others, and it crashed the update manager thrice)

[01:08] <kbrooks> What is the simpolest backup regimen that I can do that protects my files?
[01:08] <bofh80> cheeseboy, have you tried a blank CD ?
[01:09] <cheeseboy> no
[01:09] <irielion_> ahgrrr you lousy people, nobody knows how to get that message
[01:09] <cheeseboy> i dont have blank one
[01:09] <stefg> !backup | kbrooks
[01:09] <ubotu> kbrooks: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning
[01:09] <bofh80> cheeseboy, when i had a similaly screwed Drive, it would note when a blank CD was put in, but nothing else
[01:09] <bofh80> cheeseboy, oh . . .. uhm ./
[01:09] <wastrel> "UBUNTO"
[01:09] <FFighter> Anyone ?
[01:09] <elYase> crimsun, Jordan_U , I suppose my option is headphone and mic, they are both at maximum, how do i test the mic, is there any application?
[01:09] <FFighter> I really need a hand here!
[01:09] <RoAkSoAx> coque, para ayuda en espanhol entra a #ubuntu-es
[01:10] <n2diy_> FFighter: can you ping your router?
[01:10] <wastrel> ping
[01:10] <bofh80> cheeseboy, done any updates to ubuntu yesterday?
[01:10] <Jordan_U> Fathefner, Try going to the GRUB menu when you boot and use "e" to edit and remove the "splash" and possibly "quiet" kernel parameters
[01:10] <lancer> I'm wanting to use mkisofs to dump student work onto a DVD-ROM (make iso image, burn later). What are all the options I should take into account? MAN page a bit overwhelming (and not too easy to understand what they mean)
[01:10] <crimsun> elYase: sure, there are a bevy of apps.  Sound Recorder, arecord, Audacity, etc.
[01:10] <nautilus> im back
[01:10] <Jordan_U> elYase, audacity
[01:10] <cheeseboy> no
[01:10] <FFighter> n2diy_, I don't have a router
[01:11] <Fathefner> Jordan_U, i just cant boot onto ubuntu
[01:11] <VeganChick001> will i be able to recompile files that i split in terminal, once i have the split files in OS X?
[01:11] <elYase> crimsun, Jordan_U , those are useful to try the mic?
[01:11] <bibbybob> anyone have any oscon discount codes of doom?
[01:11] <nickrud> kbrooks, sbackup is ok
[01:11] <n2diy_> FFighter: how are you connected to your sisters box? Crossover cable?
[01:11] <makuseru> hi, does anyone know where i can download folding@home for linux? the http://folding.stanford.edu/download.html site i guess got somthing mixed up, because under where it says linux, the downlaod is a .exe
[01:11] <FFighter> n2diy_, Here's the layout: I've got a usb modem (speedtouch usb) which connects to the internet, then a eth0 that directly connects to the XP machine
[01:11] <Fathefner> Jordan_U, it says some about unix
[01:11] <bofh80> cheeseboy, if you open the file browser, the DVD drive should be listed in the right hand list yes~?
[01:11] <Jordan_U> elYase, They are audio recording / editing programs
[01:11] <cheeseboy> yes
[01:11] <cheeseboy> but wen i click error
[01:12] <bofh80> cheeseboy, same readwrite error?
[01:12] <Jordan_U> Fathefner, Removing the splash screen should let you see any error messages you may be getting
[01:12] <cheeseboy> yes
[01:12] <FFighter> n2diy_, directly through ethernet wired network
[01:12] <n2diy_> FFighter: the eth0 cable needs to be a crossover cable for a direct connection.
[01:12] <Jordan_U> Fathefner, Can you be more specific?
[01:12] <riddlebox> is there a way to stop the system from asking my for a password to connect to the wireless connection everytime I boot?
[01:12] <haggard> makuseru: it works, despite the fact that it's an .exe
[01:12] <FFighter> n2diy_, It worked fine when I had XP installed
[01:12] <elYase> crimsun, Jordan_U , i tried sound recorder and the progress bar doesnt advances, it means no signal is at input no?
[01:12] <AD|Ubuntu> Gah!
[01:12] <FFighter> n2diy_, both LAN (windows network) and the internet connection sharing
[01:13] <AD|Ubuntu> Anyone wanna take a venture at helping me? ....again
[01:13] <bofh80> cheeseboy, normally i'd say the drive was toast, but since it works in ubuntu, i'm not sure . . . . . you haven't edited /etc/fstab at all ?
[01:13] <gbw> hi, how can i install mvn under feisty? apt-get cant find the package
[01:13] <bofh80> cheeseboy, works in windows rather
[01:13] <makuseru> haggard: what do i open it with
[01:13] <kalon33> phylogenesis: locked up, what do you mean with that ?
[01:13] <n2diy_> FFighter: Ok, can you ping your sisters box?
[01:13] <kalon33> *by that
[01:13] <cheeseboy> ya..
[01:13] <phylogenesis> the computer froze, Windows style
[01:13] <bofh80> cheeseboy, "ya...." you've edited /etc/fstab ?
[01:13] <FFighter> n2diy_, Nops, I can't... btw, I followed this tutorial: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91370 but couldn't make it to work
[01:13] <FFighter> n2diy_, Maybe seeing my ifconfig output would help ?
[01:13] <Jordan_U> !anyone | AD|Ubuntu
[01:13] <ubotu> AD|Ubuntu: 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?
[01:14] <phylogenesis> kalon33:  had to hold down the power button to shutdown, then reboot
[01:14] <kalon33> phylogenesis: oh, quite serious... could you reboot ubuntu ?
[01:14] <bofh80> cheeseboy, just now when people where trying to help....or like earlier or yesterday ? :)
[01:14] <Hillview> having a problem installing 7.0.4 (amd64) on one of my pc's.. the livecd boots and starts loading X, then seems to get to the ubuntu/gnome splash screen before it apparently panics and reboots instantly.. any ideas I can try?
[01:14] <n2diy_> FFighter: yes, pastepin the output of ifconfig.
[01:14] <FFighter> n2diy_, I guess that the problem is my modem... it creates a "nas0" interface and also ppp0
[01:14] <makuseru> haggard: what do i open it with?
[01:14] <premier_> hello, I have an ati radeon X1400 Mobility whatever... I've had to reconfigure the drivers several times, because it keeps reverting to mesa for apparently no reason
[01:14] <premier_> is there anyway to deal with this annoyance?
[01:14] <phylogenesis> kalon33:  yeah, that worried me, but I shutdown, rebooted, and here I am
[01:14] <erUSUL> Hillview: maybe some boot option can help
[01:14] <haggard> makuseru: the Linux F@H client is console only (no GUI screensaver). When you download it, you might have to make it executable. In the terminal, type "chmod +x <F@H_name.exe>" (I forgot what the filename is).  Then, to run it, type "./<F@H_name.exe>"
[01:15] <erUSUL> !boot | Hillview
[01:15] <ubotu> Hillview: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto
[01:15] <phylogenesis> kalon33:  trying again...
[01:15] <Hillview> erUSUL, thanks :)
[01:15] <n2diy_> FFighter: ignore the modem for now.
[01:15] <lancer> Would this work: mkisofs -o ../backupwork.iso -V backup2007 * ...or would I loose thigns like permissions on files?
[01:15] <uberushaximus> !info cpufreqd
[01:15] <ubotu> cpufreqd: fully configurable daemon for dynamic frequency and voltage scaling. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.2.1-2 (feisty), package size 77 kB, installed size 340 kB
[01:15] <makuseru> haggard: why is the 64bit tar.gz?
[01:15] <FFighter> n2diy_, Ok, just a min
[01:15] <FFighter> n2diy_, and thanks for helping =)
[01:16] <Garold> if I want to install xinetd, do I have to uninstall inetd first?
[01:16] <topcat1027> can somebody help me, i'm having troubles installing joost through wine
[01:16] <kalon33> phylogenesis: Is it booting correcty now ?
[01:16] <phylogenesis> kalon33:  I'm on Linux right now
[01:16] <erUSUL> lancer: you will loose permisions unless you use rockridge (mkisofs -R) extensions iirc. i recomend to use tar and then burn the tar file(s)
[01:16] <n2diy_> FFighter: nada, I enjoy problem solving. :)
[01:16] <phylogenesis> it booted and that's what I'm using now (still Edgy Eft though :-) )
[01:16] <haggard> makuseru: just extract it first (either use the GUI program or type "tar -xvzf <F@H.tar.gz>"
[01:16] <bofh80> topcat1027, heheheheheh. i got the same problem. i even tried vmware to no avail . . ..  i think cedega might work, but installing the cedega CVS is free, but complicated, i haven't tried that yet
[01:17] <AD|Ubuntu> Alright, I have a problem. Earlier today I tried dual booting Vista and Ubuntu with Vista installed first. I shrank the Vista volume and created a 20gig Ubuntu partition. I installed Ubuntu onto the partition, but when grub loads it doesnt have an option to boot the Vista partition. I know the Vista volume is still there because I can see it in ubuntu. Can anyone help? Ive looked on the support forums. The FAQs, and have searche
[01:17] <dyrne> topcat1027: run winecfg  to edit settings. other than that id suggest /join #wine
[01:17] <kalon33> phylogenesis: could you open a terminal and type sudo apt-get check ?
[01:17] <FFighter> n2diy_, I'm having problems pasting it to pastebin.com (internet errors from the pastebin app) do you have another site where I could paste it ?
[01:17] <topcat1027> dyrne, nobody is in the wine room
[01:17] <makuseru> haggard: im not a 64bit platform
[01:17] <FFighter> ops, I meant INTERNAL not INTERNET errors
[01:17] <topcat1027> or if they are they aren't talking
[01:17] <Fawa1> i just installed Ubuntu server and it booted with command line how can i start X server? when I type X it says X: cannot stat /etc/X11/X ( No such file or dirictory)
[01:17] <topcat1027> dyrne, what is winecfg to edit settings?
[01:17] <Jordan_U> AD|Ubuntu, Have you tried running: sudo update-grub
[01:17] <dyrne> winehq i mean
[01:17] <phylogenesis> I can, but I'm reinstalling all those packages, and so far it's working
[01:18] <phylogenesis> kalon33:  until it fails, I'm just gonna wait
[01:18] <riddlebox> Fawa1,  startx
[01:18] <n2diy_> FFighter: things are quite in #ubuntu-classroom
[01:18] <AD|Ubuntu> Im new to the whole linux thing Jordan so I dont know what that is.
[01:18] <kalon33> phylogenesis: okay
[01:18] <haggard> makuseru: then download the x86 version
[01:18] <AD|Ubuntu> Do I just open a terminal and type sude update-grub?
[01:18] <FFighter> n2diy_, Just got there
[01:18] <kalon33> phylogenesis: if it's reinstalling, we will wait the next step ^^
[01:18] <Jordan_U> AD|Ubuntu, That is a command to run in the terminal to tell GRUB to re-detect what operating systems are available to boot
[01:18] <lancer> erUSUL, I tried tare, but it stuck everything into a subdir of the folder it was pointed to. When I went into the directory to get around this I ran out of dids space - looks like it may have been trying to include the tar file itself. ( tar pzcvf tarball.tgz . )
[01:19] <AD|Ubuntu> alright ill try
[01:19] <makuseru> haggard: im saying why is the x86 version an exe and the x64 not
[01:19] <lancer> *disk
[01:19] <AD|Ubuntu> brb
[01:19] <nickrud> Fawa1, you need to install X first, along with a desktop.  sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg for the minimum
[01:19] <Ezep> agh, too much people!!!!!
[01:19] <haggard> makuseru: i don't know, but the x86 version does work just fine despite the fact it's .exe
[01:19] <erUSUL> lancer: check the -R switch for mkisofs then
[01:19] <phylogenesis> kalon33:  "changes applied"
[01:20] <nickrud> Fawa1, and twm for the smallest desktop
[01:20] <Thatguy> erUSUL, it didn't work, x still won't start
[01:20] <Thatguy> what was the reconfigure code again?
[01:20] <phylogenesis> holy crap, 615 updates available?!
[01:20] <Fathefner> Jordan_U, it wont boot to the ubuntu log on screen
[01:20] <elYase> crimsun, Jordan_U , when i speak i hear my own voice so the mic is workin, but any of the capturing programs are getting enything, what can it be?
[01:20] <lancer> "Generate SUSP and RR records using the Rock  Ridge  protocol"? what is that erUSUL ?
[01:20] <Fathefner> Jordan_U, can i just reinstall
[01:20] <Jordan_U> Thatguy, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh
[01:20] <Fawa1> riddlebox: I get "The program 'startx' is currently not installed to istall it type sudo apt-get install xinit.. when i try to install i get pachake not available but is refferfed by another package..
[01:20] <Fathefner> Jordan_U, it might help that its a duel boot
[01:20] <Thatguy> 1 sec
[01:20] <AD|Ubuntu> Jordan ill brb
[01:21] <AD|Ubuntu> Need to reboot
[01:21] <Fawa1> riddlebox: the server if offlien btw using the CD
[01:21] <pcapazzi> How do I include SIS SATA RAID drivers in the UBUNTU Install?
[01:21] <nixnoob> im having trouble adding a workspace switcher to my top panel... im using xubuntu
[01:21] <riddlebox> Fawa1, someone else suggested, sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg I beliece
[01:21] <riddlebox> believe
[01:21] <lancer> I think you are right erUSUL - burned direct CD is going to stuff everythign up with read only - right?
[01:21] <chombee_> Hi folks. Currently I have a desktop with an nvidia graphics card and their driver works very well for 3D game stuff. Do Intels drivers compare well to nvidias on ubuntu?
[01:21] <premier_> I just ran apt-get update, and I got a few warnings... the last one said: "E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead."
[01:22] <kalon33> phylogenesis: yes, don't forget you are upgrading :p
[01:22] <Jordan_U> elYase, They may be set to use the wrong input device, in Audacity the preference is in Edit -> Preferences -> IO
[01:22] <premier_> W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://security.ubuntu.com feisty-security/restricted Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubu               dists_feisty-security_restricted_binary-i386_Packages)
[01:22] <lancer> I'm gettign random errors on command line: kernel: [ 1764.822494]  EDAC MC0: UE page 0x2c, offset 0x0, grain 4096, row 0, labels "": i82860 UE <[01:22] <phylogenesis> kalon33:  well I set it to update all of them (in the update manager)
[01:22] <gemidjy> how can I tell dhcp not to overwrite my /etc/resolv.conf with its DNS's ?
[01:22] <nzvip> Everytime I start a program which steals full screen, X crashes.  Any way to force all programs to open in an window?
[01:22] <erUSUL> lancer: that's not the problem the problem are the user:group info and the rwxr-x--- estuff ... as i said -R can be used with mkisofs to preserve that info iirc
[01:22] <kalon33> phylogenesis: if update-manager works, it's better yes
[01:23] <Jordan_U> premier_, Did you edit your sources.list by hand or with a script?
[01:23] <Fawa1> riddlebox: show i connect the dsl cable to install the package?
[01:23] <premier_> Jordan_U: well, I used to edit it by hand, but since edgy, its been weird
[01:23] <kalon33> phylogenesis: it should be quite long
[01:23] <premier_> I mean fiesty
[01:23] <Jordan_U> premier_, Can you pastebin your sources.list ?
[01:24] <Thatguy> Jordan_U, cool, now how do I start the x server without restarting?
[01:24] <phylogenesis> kalon33:  Yeah, after the reinstallation I checked synaptic and it didn't list anything under broken, then I ran updates
[01:24] <Jordan_U> Thatguy, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[01:24] <phylogenesis> now I have to go to work
[01:24] <krasher> hey guys anyone can help me? i'm trying to clean up my menu... i'm trying to remove this herd of system icons and reinstall the good old gnome-control-center... but alacarte don't let me do this...
[01:24] <Rodel> what package do i need to play swf files in totem?
[01:24] <phylogenesis> kalon33:  hopefully it'll succeed while I'm gone
[01:24] <nzvip> O_o What's wrong with ctrl + alt + backspace?
[01:25] <phylogenesis> kalon33:  thanks for your help, I'll be back in about 10 hours
[01:25] <kalon33> phylogenesis: do you receive me in pv ?
[01:25] <kalon33> will let you my mail
[01:25] <phylogenesis> kalon33:  yes, and replied like 3 times
[01:25] <phylogenesis> kalon33:  albeit the first time took me a while
[01:25] <Jordan_U> Rodel, You can't play swf files in any normal media player, swf is flash, .flv is the video format that flash uses
[01:25] <NemesisD> hi guys im trying to get some data off a tape drive and im getting i/o error at the beginning of tape, error not recoverable, what should i do?
[01:25] <lancer> NOTE: multiple source directories have been specified and merged into the root
[01:25] <lancer> of the filesystem. Check your program arguments.  <= I'm assuming I've left of a flag to preserve recursive directories erUSUL ?
[01:25] <kalon33> if you aren't registered, the server censored you
[01:25] <Rodel> Jordan_U so do you know of a flash player?
[01:25] <premier_> Jordan_U: http://pastebin.ca/529524
[01:25] <phylogenesis> oh yes, I'm not registered
[01:26] <phylogenesis> it won't let me register, I don't know why
[01:26] <dyrne> NemesisD: might ask in #linux as well
[01:26] <phylogenesis> "/msg NickServ register ********
[01:26] <phylogenesis> " and it doesn't work
[01:26] <phylogenesis> when I try to log in
[01:26] <Fathefner> can i reinstall ubuntu
[01:26] <Jordan_U> Rodel, The regular flash player for Firefox, if you want to grab the .flv file from a youtube video or some sort it will be in /tmp while you are playing it
[01:26] <dyrne> Fathefner: yes but what is the problem?
[01:26] <Thatguy> Jordan_U, it flashs a couple times then gives me the same "Failed to start" message. What am I doing wrong? Is there a way to have EVERYTHING autoconfigured like when its gets first installed?
[01:27] <Rodel> /ns register 154546
[01:27] <Rodel> hmmm
[01:27] <Rodel> sily things
[01:27] <b0wlman> r
[01:27] <kalon33> phylogenesis: "on login, you should type /msg NickServ IDENTIFY *******"
[01:27] <Jordan_U> Thatguy, try running the reconfigure command again but choose "vesa" as the driver
[01:27] <phylogenesis> received
[01:27] <wastrel> phylogenesis eh.
[01:27] <Thatguy> k, 1 sec
[01:27] <phylogenesis> right, it just tells me that phylogenesis is not registered
[01:27] <pcapazzi> Can someone help me with loading modules?
[01:27] <wastrel> so you can register it?
[01:28] <wastrel> also, "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny"
[01:28] <Fathefner> dyrne, just problem i can get to the log on screen but i cant do anything in the logon screen i moves so slow i just want to reinstall i have nothing on this ubuntu so im not going to lose anything
[01:28] <phylogenesis> well, now it worked
[01:28] <Boshi> whats the diffrence between OSS Mixer And the Alsa Mixer?
[01:28] <lockd> is there a way to set Qemu to use a CD even if it can't find one in the drive currently?
[01:28] <Jordan_U> pcapazzi, sudo modprobe <module name>
[01:28] <wastrel> Boshi:  oss is open sound system and is a different sound framework than alsa
[01:29] <erUSUL> Boshi: OSS is a compatibility layer ontop alsa
[01:29] <lancer> What's the difference between tar.gz and .tgz ?
[01:29] <kalon33> phylogenesis: so you are now registerad ?
[01:29] <Boshi> wastrel: which one is better?
[01:29] <kalon33> *red
[01:29] <wastrel> Boshi:  well, since ubuntu uses alsa - alsamixer :] 
[01:29] <Boshi> erUSUL: aha i see
[01:29] <erUSUL> lancer: none only the choosed suffix
[01:29] <phylogenesis> kalon33:  yes, and the update failed "failed to write commit log" but I have to go or I'll be late for work
[01:29] <phylogenesis> kalon33:  see you later
[01:29] <kalon33> okay
[01:29] <premier_> lancer: I think one is just a short form of the other... I'd say use .tar.gz if you have the choice
[01:30] <dyrne> Fathefner: try maybe alt-ctrl-f2 then login then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop  then sudo apt-get remove -purge xserver-xorg then sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop.  but that seems a little drastic
[01:30] <phylogenesis> (gone)
[01:30] <Boshi> wastrel: i changed mine to Oss beacuse i couldnt start Sauerbraten
[01:30] <lockd> but both OSS and ALSA can handle each other, is that true?
[01:30] <dyrne> Fathefner: or just boot from cd and reinstall
[01:30] <premier_> Jordan_U: are you going to make a suggestion for my sources list?
[01:30] <kalon33> phylogenesis: have a nice day, it's sleeping time for me !
[01:31] <Jordan_U> Boshi, Instead use ALSA and a program called aoss to get oss applications working ( aoss <application name> )
[01:31] <pcapazzi> thank you
[01:31] <Fathefner> dyrne, will it install over the previous ubuntu install
[01:31] <pcapazzi> jordan_u thank you
[01:31] <Frederick> folks how can I get opengl for java in ubuntu?
[01:31] <dyrne> Fathefner: are you dual booting with xp or another os?
[01:31] <Thatguy> Jordan_U, well... it worked but now when I log in I get a unusable white screen. should I have mentioned that I had Beryl installed?
[01:31] <dyrne> Fathefner: or just ubuntu
[01:32] <Fathefner> dyrne, duel boot with xp
[01:32] <Boshi> Jordan_U: hmm oki what does it do?
[01:32] <kalon33> see you all !
[01:32] <Thatguy> byez
[01:32] <Thatguy> lol
[01:32] <dyrne> Fathefner: a well then if you do the cd reinstal be careful to select the ubuntu partition to install to
[01:32] <Jordan_U> premier_, Other than line 39 and 41 being the same is looks fine, one of the repos might have just been temporarily down
[01:32] <Fathefner> ok
[01:32] <Boshi> Jordan_U:  i have two soundcards in my computer one built in and one exterior
[01:33] <Jordan_U> Thatguy, Did you install Beryl with XGL?
[01:33] <Thatguy> 1 sec
[01:33] <premier_> Jordan_U: well, I keep getting broken downloads and warnings from apt-get... synaptic just waits and waits for downloads that never come
[01:33] <Jordan_U> Boshi, It provides a compatibility layer so that applications built for OSS can work with alsa
[01:34] <Boshi> Jordan_U:  wow nice thats good! ;) thank you man!
[01:34] <elYase> somebody help me please!!!!!
[01:34] <premier_> !ask
[01:34] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:34] <premier_> !help
[01:34] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[01:34] <Boshi> Jordan_U:  one more thing sorry for being a pain in the ass hehe
[01:34] <pyrogan> !viewports
[01:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about viewports - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:35] <Jordan_U> premier_, Do you need the repo from cl.naist.jp ? since I have never heard of it I don't know if it is reliable or not
[01:35] <Boshi> Jordan_U: but why do i get bad sound when i raise the volume on vlc?

[01:35] <joseph> Will someone please help me I need a program to check for errors for ubuntu I changed my network setting and now program open super slow
[01:35] <Thatguy> Jordan_U, I did this EXACTLY http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu_Feisty_with_nVidia
[01:35] <elYase> why does any program gets input from my microphone, soundrecorder audacity, why, i am sure it is working cause i hear my self
[01:36] <tomex> Will K3b run under Ubuntu?
[01:36] <premier_> Jordan_U: maybe not... trying to remember what that is... it might be CJK language support
[01:36] <premier_> tomex: of course it will
[01:36] <erUSUL> tomex: sure
[01:36] <Boshi> tomex:  yes
[01:36] <lameran> hi
[01:37] <tomex> thanx
[01:37] <lameran> anyone konlodegeable of wireless?
[01:37] <lameran> thanks
[01:37] <lameran> need help ASAP
[01:37] <premier_> tomex: add yourself to the cd group (cdrom or something)
[01:37] <lameran> trying to set it as AP
[01:37] <elYase> why does any program gets input from my microphone, soundrecorder audacity, why, i am sure it is working cause i hear my self
[01:37] <premier_> tomex: otherwise, it will give you all sorts of trouble
[01:37] <dyrne> joseph: you edited /etc/hosts file? make sure 127.0.0.1 localhost whateverisyourhostname   is in there
[01:37] <Boshi> tomex  or you can choose Gnomebaker
[01:37] <Jordan_U> Boshi, You are probably reaching the limit where quieter sounds are already as loud as they can go so they are the same level as louder sounds, this creates very bad sounding distortion, try raising the system volume more instead
[01:37] <spheard> how do you call an american mobile from the uk "1-xxx-xxxblah"
[01:38] <joseph> dyrne how do I go about doing that?
[01:38] <Boshi> Jordan_U: i have done that to the max
[01:38] <dyrne> joseph: gksu gedit /etc/hosts
[01:38] <Jordan_U> !anyone | lameran
[01:38] <ubotu> lameran: 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?
[01:38] <dyrne> joseph: let me know what the 127.0.0.1 line says
[01:38] <PreZLaptop> *sigh* is there an EASY way to get an ubuntu kernel compile WITH restricted drivers?
[01:38] <PreZLaptop> the kernel compile part is easy enough
[01:39] <Jordan_U> Boshi, check that all channels are up in alsamixer ( run "alsamixer" from the terminal )
[01:39] <PreZLaptop> the restricted drivers don't compile so well with the instructions I found online
[01:39] <lameran> PreZLaptop: asx Shuttleworth
[01:39] <Boshi> Jordan_U:  oki
[01:39] <joseph> dyrne its not in there what should I do?
[01:39] <lameran> ok my problem is about setting AP with linxu
[01:39] <Jordan_U> PreZLaptop, Why do you need to compile a custom kernel?
[01:39] <dyrne> joseph: add it. check to see what your hostname is first by typing 'hostname' in the terminal
[01:39] <dyrne> joseph: thats you problem
[01:39] <srbaker> what's the difference between abiword and abiword-gnome ?
[01:40] <Boshi> Jordan_U:  oki it came up
[01:40] <PreZLaptop> Jordan_U, a kernel patch that is not included in the default kernel
[01:40] <joseph> dyrne ok what do I type
[01:40] <dyrne> srbaker: anything -gnome is bad :)
[01:40] <PreZLaptop> I have compiled many a kernel before, the kernel itself is not the problem
[01:40] <PreZLaptop> its the restricted drivers
[01:40] <dyrne> joseph: 127.0.0.1     localhost whateverhostname
[01:41] <Boshi> Jordan_U:  the Master Volume is set to 100
[01:41] <srbaker> dyrne: why?
[01:41] <PreZLaptop> and the instructions I found online for doing it are unclear at best
[01:41] <PreZLaptop> (just plain wrong at worst)
[01:41] <joseph> dyrne yes I did that I need to know what do I add to the gedit file
[01:41] <marisa> hi i have a intel centrino core2duo laptop with ubuntu installed and the sound doesnt works anyone knows how can i solve it?
[01:42] <dyrne> srbaker: its complicated and i dont feel like rationalizing my prejudices. just my opinion im very often wrong :)
[01:42] <lameran> nobody got experiecne with AP in lnuc?
[01:42] <Jordan_U> marisa, when you run "alsamixer" in a terminal do you see anything?
[01:42] <erUSUL> !sound | marisa
[01:42] <ubotu> marisa: 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
[01:42] <dyrne> joseph: that line you need to put the 127 line in hosts so it associates localhost and your hostname with the loopback
[01:44] <marisa> Jordan_U, if i run alsamixer on a terminal i see a black screen but i dont know what it is
[01:44] <krasher> hey guys anyone can help me? i'm trying to clean up my menu... i'm trying to remove this herd of system icons and reinstall the good old gnome-control-center... but alacarte don't let me do this...
[01:44] <Jordan_U> lameran, If you want to set up an access point try firestarter
[01:45] <joseph> dyrne the file looks like this what should it look like?
[01:45] <joseph> # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
[01:45] <joseph> ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback

[01:47] <Boshi> Jordan_U:  are you there?
[01:47] <krasher> anyone can tell me why my tty screens shows invalid characters when i use ^, ~ or other signlas?

[01:49] <premier_> Hello, when I installed ubuntu (6 months ago) I set acpi to off (because I had to) but now I don't... however, ubuntu keeps resetting my grub menu.lst to turn off acpi
[01:49] <homanj> lameran: sudo apt-get install irssi
[01:49] <crouic6> Hello, is there somebody who can help me with my printer under feisty ?
[01:49] <homanj> how do i see how much free disk space i have via the command line?
[01:49] <crouic6> z600 drive
[01:49] <premier_> homanj: df -h
[01:49] <dyrne> joseph: ah just look here http://www.lockergnome.com/nexus/linux/2004/10/20/using-the-etchosts-file/
[01:49] <Jordan_U> premier_, You need to remove the noacpi option from the automagic kernel config section in your /boot/grub/menu.list
[01:50] <Rprp>   ChanServ Chinatown Gfgf Noxic^bssy Quis|afk Rprp steefke Sylvestre Westplaya
[01:50] <crouic6> hello
[01:50] <premier_> Jordan_U: I know that, its just, it does it without telling me, then I have to go and fix it... but only after I've booted it into noacpi mode
[01:50] <crouic6> I have a little problem with my z600 drive under feisty
[01:50] <premier_> Jordan_U: I want it to stop messing with my head
[01:51] <dyrne> joseph: its very straight forward just do two lines 127.0.0.1 localhost then another 127.0.0.1 hostname
[01:51] <Jordan_U> premier_, Can you post your /boot/grub/menu.lst ?
[01:51] <Jordan_U> premier_, *pastebin your menu.lst*
[01:53] <Damian> Hey Guys
[01:53] <Jordan_U> !hi | Damian
[01:53] <ubotu> Damian: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[01:53] <premier_> http://pastebin.ca/529576
[01:53] <Damian> anyone here on a ibm thinkpad?
[01:53] <premier_> Jordan_U: http://pastebin.ca/529576
[01:54] <premier_> Damian: no, but maybe we can help you anyway... whats up?
[01:55] <Damian> well i ran the live cd the new one ver 7.04 and its recognizing my wireless card as a physical connection card
[01:55] <wastrel> that's normal for thinkpad
[01:55] <wastrel> no big deal
[01:55] <Jordan_U> premier_, look at line 88, that is where Ubuntu looks for what kernel parameters should be added when the menu.lst is updated
[01:55] <Breetai> Hi, Feisty Fawn hangs during startup, after "Activating swapfile [OK] " Anyone have any idea why? I am not even sure where to be looking to see what is calling mountall.sh in the init startup. Any help would be appreciated.
[01:55] <Damian> wastrel how do i change that?
[01:56] <wastrel> eth1      IEEE 802.11b
[01:56] <wastrel> Damian:  you don't, it will work just fine.
[01:56] <wastrel> that's mine above
[01:56] <MaCyBerZita> faq
[01:56] <Damian> wastrel: then how do i enter the ssid and wep code?
[01:56] <MaCyBerZita> hi rum
[01:57] <wastrel> Damian:  oh i dunno, are you using network-manager?  i don't use it because it is annoying.  i just configure my card in /etc/network/interfaces
[01:57] <Jordan_U> Damian, network-manager or network-admin ( System -> Administration -> Networking )
[01:58] <Volsy> Hi, I'm having some trouble installing Ubuntu. Could someone find a minute to help me?
[01:58] <Jordan_U> !ask | Volsy
[01:58] <ubotu> Volsy: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:58] <lancer> Volsy - what's happening?
[01:58] <Damian> Jordan_U i'll try it again once it installs
[01:58] <Volsy> Well, see, I ran the installer and ran GParted to create a new partition
[01:59] <AD|Ubuntu> Jordan
[01:59] <Volsy> My hard drive is a 200gb hard drive with all of it allotted on one primary NTFS partition
[01:59] <AD|Ubuntu> I tried updating grub but, it didnt change anything
[01:59] <Jordan_U> Damian, Is it recognised as a wireless card in the network-manager applet at the top right of the screen?
[01:59] <lancer> Volsy, isn't there an option on the intaller to "use rest of disk"?
[02:00] <Volsy> There is no "rest of disk" because all of it is already allotted.
[02:00] <Volsy> Unless I'm misunderstanding you, which is likely.
[02:00] <CaptainMorgan> is there an official docs for setting up the 7.04 server?
[02:00] <Jordan_U> Volsy, The installer let's you resize your NTFS partition to make room for Ubuntu
[02:00] <Cuog> the option to use the rest of the disk will resize the NTFS partition and use the remaining space for the install
[02:00] <lancer> Volsy, in that case, use Defrag windows or whatever you have there ant then use Partition Magic (recommended) or similar to downsize that partition to make room
[02:01] <Damian> Jordan_U give me a minute here its still installing onto my HD now
[02:01] <Jordan_U> lancer, Gparted does everything that partition magic does
[02:01] <Volsy> Okay, I've tried Partition Magic. I try to use it, and it says it needs to reboot to take effect so it can create the partition or whatever, and when my PC reboots, it doesn't do anything.
[02:01] <Cuog> Does anyone know how to setup dual monitors in 7.04 that aren't just a duplicate?
[02:01] <lancer> Jordan_U, I know but I prefer PM when shuffling around Windows Pertitions.
[02:01] <Jordan_U> Damian, You can check from the LiveCD while it's installing
[02:01] <firefly2442> When I first installed Feisty, it automatically found my NTFS drive and could mount it, but not anymore, could this be a kernel update issue?
[02:01] <Damian> Jordan_U: when i was running the livecd it did
[02:02] <lancer> Jordan_U, what gparted doesn;'t do is repair links, registry etc when partiotions are transposed.
[02:03] <Jordan_U> lancer, As long as you keep windows as the first partition there should be no problem though right *disclamer* I am not a windows user :)
[02:03] <AD|Ubuntu> Can anyone help me to configure grub so it recognizes the Vista partion on my HD?
[02:04] <Jordan_U> AD|Ubuntu, I can try... Can you pastbin your /boot/grub/menu.list ?
[02:04] <lancer> Me neither Jordan_U although I got PM to resize some school computers and that's what stuck ou for me from the experience. The last stage of what it does is to go through registy etc and rename any links which may lead to non existing partitions etc after the work. I use PM if playing with windows, parted if playing with Linux
[02:05] <Death_Sargent> my "ondemand" powermode is fundamentally broken
[02:05] <Death_Sargent> how can I edit it?
[02:05] <lockd> I used windows on a completely separate disk so as to let qemu run on it - that is not an option for most people
[02:05] <riddlebox> is there a way to make network-manager not need the keyring to connect to my wireless network?
[02:05] <lockd> riddlebox: yes, but it still takes the keyring
[02:06] <lockd> riddlebox: is the keyring the same as your password?
[02:06] <Death_Sargent> hello
[02:06] <Jordan_U> AD|Ubuntu, And is Windows on the first partition of the same disk that Ubuntu is on, correct?
[02:06] <Jordan_U> !hi | Death_Sargent
[02:06] <riddlebox> lockd, it is the same as my login yet
[02:06] <riddlebox> yes
[02:06] <ubotu> Death_Sargent: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[02:06] <AD|Ubuntu> yes
[02:06] <lockd> riddlebox: good, then you should be able to use pam-keyring.. searching for the package
[02:06] <Death_Sargent> does anyone know how to edit the powermodes of gnome-power-manager
[02:06] <Boshi> Jordan_U: hehe oki
[02:06] <hydan> hey guys i'm looking for the beeping noise so i can activate it for my xchat client
[02:06] <lockd> riddlebox: sudo apt-get install libpam-keyring
[02:07] <pcapazzi> Hello... UBUNTU recognizes my SATA RAID SIL hardware and the two drives... But it doesn't recognize the existing partition from OpenSUSE... in OpenSUSE the RAID is shown in /dev/mapper/ as sil_ahafadaadiab (part1, part2, part3 etc)...
[02:07] <hydan> where are sounds like that in ubuntu?
[02:07] <pcapazzi> anybody familiar with that?
[02:07] <bruenig> !caps | pcapazzi
[02:07] <ubotu> pcapazzi: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[02:07] <Damian> Jordan_U: ok it's installed where do i go to enter the ssid and wep code?
[02:07] <alakalaka99> In Wubi, does anyone know how to resize the virtual drives, all the things i have done have failed.
[02:07] <lockd> riddlebox: i will pastebin the config or would you rather me message it? only about 3 lines
[02:07] <riddlebox> lockd, I can msg you
[02:07] <Azhi_Dahaka> guys, the terminal app of ubuntu is nice but i'm looking for something more customizable and with tabs
[02:08] <Azhi_Dahaka> any recommendation?
[02:08] <PriceChild> Azhi_Dahaka, the ubuntu terminal has tabs?
[02:08] <LjL> Azhi_Dahaka: the terminal app in Ubuntu *has* tabs.
[02:08] <Jordan_U> Damian, Just connect to the network and it will ask for the password
[02:08] <tomex> what do you recommend for iPod management under Ubuntu?
[02:08] <jrib> Azhi_Dahaka: what do you want to customize?
[02:08] <PriceChild> tomex, amarok
[02:08] <jrib> !ipod > tomex (see the private message from ubotu)
[02:08] <Jordan_U> !ipod | tomer
[02:08] <ubotu> tomer: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto See !rockbox for information on liberating your iPod
[02:08] <bruenig> xterm is pretty customizable
[02:08] <Azhi_Dahaka> it has tabs?
[02:08] <PriceChild> Azhi_Dahaka, right click > create new tab
[02:08] <Azhi_Dahaka> color me surprised!
[02:08] <LjL> Azhi_Dahaka: File / New tab, yes. (or something very similar - i'm on KDE)
[02:09] <bruenig> Azhi_Dahaka, ctrl + shift + t I think is the keyboard shortcut, at least on xfce
[02:09] <Azhi_Dahaka> hehehe... all day opening new instances!
[02:09] <jrib> bruenig: correct
[02:09] <alakalaka99> so anyone know how to make Wubi virtual drives larger?
[02:09] <jrib> Azhi_Dahaka: screen  is even better...
[02:09] <Azhi_Dahaka> screen is nice, but i'm looking for one that my family can use without feeling intimidated
[02:09] <Boshi> Jordan_U: nope still gets crappy when i raise thw voulme in vlc
[02:10] <LjL> jrib: and running bash from vi buffers is better yet, sure
[02:10] <Damian> Jordan_U: i need to specify my ssid though
[02:10] <Jordan_U> Damian, It's hidden?
[02:10] <jrib> Azhi_Dahaka: why have your family use the terminal at all if they aren't comfortable
[02:10] <Azhi_Dahaka> it will happen... you know linux
[02:10] <Damian> Jordan_U i dont see anywehre to type it in in properties
[02:11] <Azhi_Dahaka> it doesn't matter what you do, sometime you will need the terminal
[02:12] <Damian> Jordan_U: the light that usually lights up to show that the wireless card is enabled isnt even on
[02:12] <Jordan_U> Damian, Is your wireless ssid hidden?
[02:12] <Damian> yes
[02:12] <CaptainMorgan> if an isp is blocking a port... say 25? can I use any other port that I specify for the mail services?
[02:13] <Damian> Jordan_U yes
[02:13] <Jordan_U> Damian, Ok, try wifi-radar then, or setting up your /etc/networking/interfaces manually
[02:13] <hydan> where are the default sound files in ubuntu?
[02:14] <Damian> where is wifi-radar?
[02:14] <jrib> hydan: why?
[02:14] <Damian> Jordan_U where is wifi-radar?
[02:14] <Boshi> Jordan_U: nope still gets crappy when i raise thw voulme in vlc
[02:14] <Frederick> isnt vim7 disponible in reps
[02:14] <Jordan_U> Damian, sudo apt-get install wifi-radar ( or install it through synaptic )
[02:14] <jrib> Frederick: it is
[02:14] <hydan> jrib: i'm wanting to have sound notifications in x-chat.
[02:14] <jrib> hydan: /usr/share/sounds/ has a few
[02:14] <lancer> how do I extract a single file from a tar.gz?
[02:14] <Azhi_Dahaka> how can i update firefox in dapper? tried apt-get but it's stuck on 1.5
[02:14] <Jordan_U> Boshi, I don't know what to do then
[02:15] <reddysetgo> what is the difference between ubuntu and kubuntu?
[02:15] <jrib> lancer: double click on it and choose the file you want, then press extract
[02:15] <Azhi_Dahaka> kde
[02:15] <Frederick> jrib: under wich name?
[02:15] <silvernode> azhi:ya it does that
[02:15] <jrib> Frederick: vim-full is probably what you want
[02:15] <Jordan_U> lancer, From GUI or command line?

[02:15] <Jordan_U> dal, What chipset?
[02:15] <pmcdonnell> Hi - for a celeron EM64T processor, would I use a i386 or amd64 install image?
[02:15] <Jordan_U> Boshi, Yes, but VLC already uses alsa
[02:15] <jrib> reddysetgo: ubuntu has gnome by default and kubuntu has kde by default, but both versions use the same repositories
[02:16] <Frederick> jrib: thanks!
[02:16] <dal> Jordan_U,   something called NETGEAR
[02:16] <Icehawk78> pmcdonnel - amd64

[02:16] <Azhi_Dahaka> my audio card doesn't work on feisty
[02:16] <lancer> Jordan_U, command line please - really big tar.gz that tends to seize up the GUI
[02:16] <Jordan_U> dal, Can you be more specific, what model, USB or PCI, etc?
[02:16] <jrib> reddysetgo: hi
[02:16] <reddysetgo> jrib: can the software inter change?
[02:16] <dal> Jordan_U,  PCI
[02:17] <Azhi_Dahaka> i spent all day to find out that there's a bug with the kernel of feisty
[02:17] <jrib> reddysetgo: yes, you can use the same programs regardless of your environment
[02:17] <Jordan_U> dal, can you pastebin the output of "lspci" ?
[02:17] <vox754> pmcdonnell, NO i386
[02:17] <devin__> anyone here updated from .15 to .16?
[02:17] <dal> type that into terminal, Jordan_U ?
[02:17] <devin__> because it just screwed up my laptop
[02:17] <Fawa1> anyone please?
[02:17] <Jordan_U> dal, Yes
[02:17] <pmcdonnell> vox754, and now I'm confused.
[02:17] <reddysetgo> jrib: ok thank:) On a side note, this kubuntu feels kinda like knoppix
[02:17] <AD|Ubuntu> Alright. Im here for good now.
[02:17] <jrib> reddysetgo: well knoppix uses kde as well
[02:17] <Frederick> jrib: why tab completition does not work on it?
[02:18] <AD|Ubuntu> Now, how do I edit the grub confi
[02:18] <AD|Ubuntu> config
[02:18] <reddysetgo> jrib: ic
[02:18] <Boshi> Jordan_U:  i know but Sauerbraten
[02:18] <dal> Jordan_U, give me a minute please
[02:18] <vox754> pmcdonnell, amd64 won't work with certain things, i386 is better for desktop users
[02:18] <jrib> Frederick: on what?
[02:18] <Frederick> I mean I want to open a file and the path isnt using atuto completation
[02:18] <devin__> anyone have problems with .16 updating?
[02:18] <jrib> Frederick: in vim?  have you installed vim-full?
[02:18] <devin__> i upgraded and when it restarted it was hosed
[02:18] <Fawa1> i get " could not open default font fixed'   when i try starting X server .. anyone might know how could i fix this?
[02:19] <devin__> i'm scared to update my other systems
[02:19] <pmcdonnell> vox754, it would be for a server
[02:19] <reddysetgo> jrib: i have ubuntu and kubuntu and xp on this drive should i dare to install the other one?
[02:19] <jrib> reddysetgo: if you want to try something new, I say go for it
[02:19] <Icehawk78> I have a scripting question for anyone who knows how to write them. I'm trying to rename photos from a digital camera through the command line (it's on a server and I've got no UI ). I'd like to just rename everything to DCIM_0001.jpg, DCIM_0002.jpg, etc.
[02:19] <vox754> pmcdonnell, then you are good
[02:19] <jrib> Icehawk78: use "rename"
[02:20] <reddysetgo> jrib: how many osses will grub support?
[02:20] <pmcdonnell> vox754, ok, thanks
[02:20] <jrib> reddysetgo: I don't know
[02:20] <devin__> i have a problem, all my devices don't work, and by devices i mean even the usb ports are turned off
[02:20] <mhaque> anyone really good at using samba?
[02:20] <abasinisvacant> Jordan_U,  you still here?
[02:20] <jrib> !anyone | mhaque
[02:20] <ubotu> mhaque: 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?
[02:20] <Jordan_U> reddysetgo, You can have KDE and gnome installed on the same installation of Ubuntu, no need to have Ubuntu and Kubuntu on two separate partitions
[02:20] <jrib> !samba > mhaque (see the private message from ubotu)
[02:20] <Jordan_U> abasinisvacant, no
[02:20] <vox754> pmcdonnell, but don't come later asking for help to play games and stuff
[02:20] <reddysetgo> jrib: lol i am going to down load edubuntu and c lmao
[02:20] <Jordan_U> abasinisvacant, :)
[02:20] <abasinisvacant> Jordan_U,  ok, where may i post the output?
[02:20] <jrib> reddysetgo: see what Jordan_U said, it applies to edubuntu as well
[02:20] <abasinisvacant> pm?
[02:20] <pmcdonnell> vox754, I don't even play games on my desktop ;-)
[02:20] <Jordan_U> !paste | abasinisvacant
[02:21] <ubotu> abasinisvacant: 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)
[02:21] <reddysetgo> ok
[02:21] <Frederick> jrib: yep vim full
[02:21] <abasinisvacant> Jordan_U, can i just PM?
[02:21] <Semper> my nigga.
[02:21] <Jordan_U> abasinisvacant, I don't think so, I don't think freenode allows large amounts of text to be sent at once, even in a PM
[02:21] <Semper> O.o
[02:21] <jrib> Frederick: how are you trying to tab complete?
[02:22] <Boshi> Jordan_U:  i know but Sauerbraten
[02:22] <LjL> Semper: if you have an Ubuntu support question, ask. if you just want to throw in random borderline offensive sentences, find other places.
[02:22] <abasinisvacant> Jordan_U, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23669/
[02:22] <hydan> thanks jrib :)
[02:22] <mhaque> how do you setup samba as a domain control?
[02:22] <Jordan_U> Boshi, Yes, for Sauerbraten use aoss
[02:22] <devin__> i need some help having ubuntu recognize the system timer.
[02:22] <benoit> hi
[02:22] <Semper> @LjL: i was just messing around
[02:22] <Semper> blah.
[02:23] <Boshi> Jordan_U:  aha oki
[02:23] <LjL> Semper: well, this is not the right channel for messing around. we're busy enough with ubuntu support.
[02:23] <benoit> i've got a problem with dual screen with X300 and voodoo3, on feisty
[02:23] <benoit> can someone help me?
[02:23] <Semper> @LjL: alright. sorry
[02:23] <Boshi> Jordan_U:  i have it on ALsa Mixer now and Sauerbraten worked
[02:23] <breadstic> hi guys, i just tried to install ubuntu on my desktop, but now i'm just getting grub error 17 when i try to boot. I think it's something to do with me tellling it to install on my scsi drive and having the boot record on the primary ide drive (where the windows partition is). How do i fix it?
[02:23] <Boshi> Jordan_U:  strange
[02:23] <connor> I have a problem with my wireless
[02:23] <NickPresta> Out of curiosity and to confirm my research - when I get errors about SQUASHFS and "cannot read sr0 ...", this means the CD burn was not done properly, correct?
[02:23] <LjL> i doubt i can help, benoit, but stating the problem would give you some more chances of finding someone who can.
[02:24] <connor> The wireless network isn't recognized on Windows OR Ubuntu
[02:24] <devin__> what version is everyone running?
[02:24] <benoit> i dont understand stating? (sorry... i'm french)
[02:24] <LjL> devin__: all 1074 of us?
[02:24] <jrib> benoit: stating ~ explain
[02:24] <connor> but the other computers work and the wireless indicator light on the router is on
[02:24] <reddysetgo> Ljl: have you seen scoobydoo in here ? He was helping me with this setup and said he had good luck with ubuntu on a amd machine
[02:24] <devin__> yes all
[02:24] <benoit> ok :)
[02:24] <NickPresta> @devin__: Kubuntu 7.04.
[02:24] <Semper> LjL
[02:24] <LjL> reddysetgo, i was away until shortly ago
[02:25] <dal> connor, i think i have the same problem
[02:25] <devin__> i upgraded from .15 to .16
[02:25] <Semper> how would i get this named dropped so i may register it?
[02:25] <devin__> and now the system doesn't have any devices
[02:25] <ProN00b> my mp3player has a problem with linux
[02:25] <LjL> Semper, you mean your nickname? it's not registered.
[02:25] <reddysetgo> Ljl: ok
[02:25] <NickPresta> @devin__: Oh, my kernel version. 2.6.20-16-generic
[02:25] <connor> dal: When I'm on Windows or Linux, no networks show up
[02:25] <Semper> LjL someone told me it was but nobody has used in a long time im not sure if they dropped it or not
[02:26] <LjL> Semper: apparently they dropped it, as it's currently not registered
[02:26] <dal> connor, on my linux, networks show up, but it still does not connect
[02:26] <connor> dal: it's not possible that the linux is screwing up the windows, right?
[02:26] <PriceChild> Semper, please head to #freenode for freenode support.
[02:26] <VeganChick01> I split a file using terminal...what's the code to rejoin the split sections?
[02:26] <dal> connor, probably not
[02:26] <jshriver> Hi having a cddb problem
[02:26] <PriceChild> VeganChick01, cat file1 file2 > foo ?
[02:26] <devin_> it's the strangest thing
[02:26] <LjL> VeganChick01: using "split"?
[02:26] <dal> Jordan_U, you still there?
[02:27] <benoit> when i try to configure dual screen, my first screen (X300 - CRT screen) works well, but the second (voodoo 3, LCD) is black. The desktop seem to be extented,as i can move my mouse 'out' of the first screen
[02:27] <tirkan> hey there...is everyone ok?
[02:27] <Semper> @LjL: thankyou
[02:27] <jshriver> Sound Juicer finds the sound tracks fine but doesnt handle mp3.. I like ripperx but it doesnt find the track info... any suggestions?
[02:27] <ProN00b> my mp3 player is a normal usb mass storage device, it requires a fat16 formatting, when connected to linux it first seems perfectly ok and shows all files i put on it from windows and linux, but when i want to load new music on it, it gets on the player, but the player doesn't detect that new music anymore, there has to be some slight difference in how linux and windows handles fat16 that makes it incompatible
[02:27] <benoit> When i disable my first card (X300), the voodoo 3 works well
[02:27] <Jordan_U> dal, yes
[02:27] <reddysetgo> scoobydoo28139: I can't see the names here how do you fix this?
[02:27] <dal> Jordan_U, have you figured out the problem?
[02:27] <devin_> it has auto log in, but while it is logging in i have mouse control and everything, then when finally logs in to the account the system time and everything else is missing, then mouse dies, and nothing responds, not even the system buttion. I try plugging in a mouse but the lazor doesn't even turn on.
[02:28] <jordan> Hey guys, im having some real trouble getting wireless to work on my Dell Lat. c610
[02:28] <LjL> !away > Knoeki    (Knoeki, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:28] <tirkan> does anyone have problems or ever had problems with the text color on some websites when usint ubuntu 7.04?
[02:28] <Jordan_U> dal, No, I am not familiar with your card :(
[02:28] <Azhi_Dahaka> is it possible to upgrade from Dapper into Ubuntu Ultimate 1.3?
[02:28] <Semper> would anyone have an idea when blender may come out for the 7.04
[02:28] <dal> Jordan_U,  if i were to get a different card, which one would you suggest?
[02:29] <dal> Jordan_U, one that's cheap and realiable
[02:29] <LjL> Azhi_Dahaka, Ubuntu Ultimate Whatever is not an official Ubuntu distribution of any kind.
[02:29] <Azhi_Dahaka> oh... that's bad
[02:29] <LjL> Azhi_Dahaka: it's possible to update from Dapper to Edgy, and it's possible to update from Edgy to Feisty (which is the most recent version)
[02:29] <lockd> Semper: blender is available on feisty
[02:29] <Azhi_Dahaka> But Feisty hates my audio card
[02:29] <reddysetgo> Ljl: is there a linux channel here? or is it all ubuntu?
[02:29] <dinkle> im using feisty ubuntu and i cannot get amarok to sync to my ipod.  it apparently sends the files to the ipod but when unplugged, i cannot see them on the ipod can anyone help?
[02:29] <Semper> @Lockd: for ubuntu 7.04?
[02:29] <LjL> reddysetgo: *this* channel is about Ubuntu. try #linux for a generic channel.
[02:29] <VeganChick01> PriceChild: i split the file into about 30 parts, can i still use that code?
[02:30] <VeganChick01> ljl: yes, using the split command
[02:30] <PriceChild> VeganChick01, how did you split them?
[02:30] <connor> It's not possible for Linux to screw up the wireless on the Windows half of a dual-boot, right?
[02:30] <jordan> Is there a trick to get a WN321G wireless USB dongle to work on a Dell Latitude C610?  When I plug it in, the system goes either VERY slow or freezes
[02:30] <LjL> VeganChick01: yes, cat will do it
[02:30] <reddysetgo> Ljl: tks peace out
[02:30] <LjL> !pm | tirkan
[02:30] <ubotu> tirkan: 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.
[02:30] <VeganChick01> just type in "cat" then all the file names then "> foo"  ?
[02:30] <lockd> Semper: yes 7.04.. and use tab completion for names
[02:31] <PriceChild> VeganChick01, I "think" that'll work :)
[02:31] <LjL> VeganChick01: in the right order.
[02:31] <Semper> lockd: tab completion?
[02:31] <VeganChick01> ljl: right, ok thanks!
[02:31] <LjL> !tab > Semper    (Semper, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:31] <Boshi> Jordan_U:  i have it on ALsa Mixer now and Sauerbraten worked
[02:31] <Boshi> Jordan_U:  strange
[02:31] <Jordan_U> dal, Look here for a good list of cards and how well they work in Ubuntu: Look for ones that work "out of the box"
[02:31] <BB22> any good torrent site for movies?
[02:31] <Semper> !LjL: like this?
[02:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ljl: like this? - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:31] <Semper> x.x
[02:31] <Jordan_U> dal, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported
[02:31] <Nighteye> Hi
[02:32] <LjL> Semper: without the exclamation mark perhaps
[02:32] <VeganChick01> i really dislike the fact that terminal doesn
[02:32] <VeganChick01> doesn't say what it's doing during simple commands that take a while
[02:32] <CWar> howdy ... i got a problem with copying large files from an xp pc to xubuntu ... "Specified network name no longer available"
[02:32] <Nighteye> secret
[02:33] <Azhi_Dahaka> how can i force an update on firefox?
[02:33] <Jordan_U> VeganChick01, You can often use -v  ( for verbose ) to get more output from a command
[02:33] <Azhi_Dahaka> it's stuck on 1.5
[02:33] <VeganChick01> i'm always afraid it's frozen
[02:33] <VeganChick01> Jordan_U: thanks
[02:33] <Jordan_U> Azhi_Dahaka, What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[02:33] <CWar> azhi ... can you just remove then reinstall?
[02:33] <Azhi_Dahaka> 6.06 LTS
[02:33] <Azhi_Dahaka> Can't upgrade to Feisty
[02:33] <Azhi_Dahaka> Hates my audio card
[02:34] <Semper> azhi what do u meen
[02:34] <Semper> ati?
[02:34] <lockd> audio card
[02:34] <Boshi> you cant upgrade from 6.06 to feisty
[02:34] <Semper> oh.
[02:34] <Semper> sorry misread.
[02:34] <lockd> Boshi: is it possible at all?
[02:34] <LjL> it's possible by upgrading to Edgy first.
[02:34] <Boshi> it has to be a newer verison then 6.06
[02:34] <Jordan_U> Azhi_Dahaka, You know that you need to go Dapper -> Edgy -> Feisty, not directly to Feisty right?
[02:34] <tirkan> LjL I got a problem, I can't clearly see the text in some websites because the text is in white color. is there anyway of doing that?it also happens even more when I'm using a dark theme
[02:34] <Regenerater> hey...does some one know how I can get write access to windows...I can easily get read only access. also, then i look at the properties of the windows folder it says the owner is root but I can't login as root. I guess I need to change the owner. Can this be done?
[02:35] <Regenerater> i've got ubuntu 7.04
[02:35] <Boshi> lockd no not if you have 6.06
[02:35] <Jordan_U> !ntfs-3g | Regenerater
[02:35] <ubotu> Regenerater: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[02:35] <vox754> !ntfs | Regenerater
[02:35] <ubotu> Regenerater: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[02:35] <lockd> Boshi: didn't realize there were 2 versions in between
[02:35] <Semper> is there anyway to establish a direct link with my computer and another (girlfriends) which i can run commands to?
[02:35] <LjL> tirkan, the theme should have very little to do with how text in *sites* is displayed, as the theme doesn't affect your web browser in any way. a quick workaround is, select the text with the mouse.
[02:35] <Boshi> lockd ^^ ;)
[02:35] <lockd> Boshi: or more.. I just hope I am able to upgrade to the next seamlessly
[02:35] <Jordan_U> Semper, Yes, ssh
[02:35] <LjL> lockd: there is only one version inbetween, Edgy.
[02:35] <tirkan> LjL I got Ubuntu 7.04
[02:36] <thechris> I don't have any CD-R's, can I use a DVD-R or DVD+R for burning the ISO for ubuntu?
[02:36] <Boshi> lockd hmm what version do you got?
[02:36] <Jordan_U> thechris, Yes
[02:36] <CWar> just curious ... why is the ntfs3g thing better than samba?
[02:36] <bruenig> thechris, yes you can put the cd iso on a dvd or alternatively there is a dvd iso
[02:36] <thirdy> is there a library in xmms?
[02:36] <LjL> CWar: how are the two related?
[02:36] <lockd> Boshi: 7.04
[02:36] <thechris> bruenig: where is the dvd iso?
[02:36] <Boshi> lockd thats the latest one
[02:36] <Jordan_U> thechris, If you don't want to "waste" a DVD there is a larger DVD image also with more on it
[02:37] <CWar> doesn't samba let you access your windows shares from a linux box?
[02:37] <Jordan_U> thechris, But the standard iso will work just fine on a DVD
[02:37] <Jordan_U> CWar, Yes
[02:37] <lockd> Boshi: right.. but it will be possible to upgrade to next version by just changing the repositories and running update?
[02:37] <connor> It's not possible for Linux to screw up the wireless on the Windows half of a dual-boot, right?
[02:37] <bruenig> thechris, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/7.04/release/
[02:37] <CWar> so, what does ntfs3g do that samba doesn't?
[02:37] <VeganChick01> darnit...so i split an iso because i couldn't get it from my ubuntu partition to my OS X partition...but now it's not an iso anymore!
[02:37] <LjL> CWar, ntfs-3g is a hack, ehm i mean "driver", for reading and writing NTFS filesystems. Samba is a networking filesystem to let you access Windows shares (or shares files to a Windows machine). they're totally not realted.
[02:37] <tirkan> LjL humn...I see...so, apart from selecting the text with the mouse, there's nothing else that can be done?is just that, it happens in loads of websites with white or grey background.
[02:37] <Boshi> lockd dont worry the when a new verison it will be in the Synaptiv Packet MAnager
[02:37] <bruenig> thechris, it doesn't install anything more, it just has a bunch of extra software on it that you can access if you add the dvd as a repo via apt-cdrom
[02:38] <LjL> CWar, what does a bicycle that a microwave oven doesn't?
[02:38] <CWar> ntfs3 assumes the hard drive is installed on the system? i missed that part (hence asking the question)
[02:38] <Jordan_U> connor, You are correct, it's not
[02:38] <lockd> Boshi: thanks
[02:38] <Boshi> lockd dont think you have to change tje repositories
[02:38] <LjL> CWar: of course it does, it's just a normal filesystem.
[02:38] <Boshi> lockd your welcome ;)
[02:38] <jshriver> :)
[02:38] <LjL> CWar: SMB is a *network* protocol, and Samba is an implementation of t.
[02:39] <Boshi> Is it anyone else having problem with the sound then me?
[02:39] <LjL> CWar: you can't use Samba to access local harddrives, just as you can't use ntfs-3g to access network shares.
[02:39] <thechris> how good is the 64 bit support in ubuntu in terms of media support, kde support, and just in general
[02:40] <LjL> thechris: not very, if by "media support" you mean Flash, codecs, and such amenities.
[02:40] <CWar> ljl ... dude, i get it already ... you know me than me ... i bow before your awesome knowledge ...
[02:40] <LjL> thechris: there shouldn't be a problem with KDE at all.
[02:40] <LjL> CWar: no need to be sarcastic.
[02:40] <thechris> LjL: what of the 32bit ubuntu?
[02:40] <tirkan> LjL that is also a big problem because it happens the same when I'm usind word documents or presentations
[02:40] <LjL> thechris: what of it?
[02:40] <CWar> ljl ... oh, i was too busy trying to change the spare tire on my microwave to notice i was being sarcastic
[02:41] <hendaus> please can anyone give me vcdgear for kubuntu, thanx?
[02:41] <Jordan_U> thechris, Basically, everything open source works, 90% of proprietary stuff doesn't ( but 100% can be made to work with a little work )
[02:41] <Tiradin> How can I check my CPU performance in Ubuntu?
[02:41] <chip273> hello
[02:41] <Azhi_Dahaka>  how can i jump from a customized dapper into edgy?
[02:41] <Jordan_U> Tiradin, "top" in a terminal or System -> Administration -> System Monitor
[02:42] <Tiradin> thanks
[02:42] <thechris> Jordan_U: thats good.  I'm trying to move away from gentoo.  Things tend to install and work in gentoo, but I can never upgrade without hassels.
[02:42] <jrib> !upgrade > Azhi_Dahaka (see the private message from ubotu)
[02:42] <Tiradin> oh yea... my CPU isn't liking this very much, haha
[02:42] <tirkan> LjL could still use some of ur help :o
[02:42] <AD|Ubuntu> matthew
[02:42] <Jordan_U> Azhi_Dahaka, gksu "update-manager -c"
[02:42] <Tiradin> jumping from 44% to 95% usage, lol... i'm gonna close Xchat, toodles.
[02:42] <Boshi> Jordan_U:  i have it on ALsa Mixer now and Sauerbraten worked
[02:42] <LjL> CWar, you were under the impression that two totally different things were the same, or somehow very similar, and one was better than the other. that impression was totally wrong, and i think my analogy conveyed that fact to you. now you won't tell other people wrong things, which i assume is why you believed wrong things to start with. if you didn't want clarifications, you shouldn't have asked.
[02:42] <Boshi> Jordan_U:  it didnt work earlier
[02:43] <LjL> tirkan: i'm afraid i don't quite know. i don't use GNOME, for a start, and this sounds like a GNOME related problem.
[02:43] <thirdy> how do I login to the root?
[02:43] <Jordan_U> Boshi, I saw your comment the first times, no need to repeat, I just didn't have a response :)
[02:43] <thirdy> I'm using xubuntu
[02:43] <LjL> thirdy: first question: why?
[02:43] <Phaqui> Hello, does anyone have a clue why I can't get aMSN to work properly? It just starts up, then gives me the update screen, and sort of quits, I see an icon in the tray, but I can't click it or anything!
[02:43] <LjL> thirdy: second question: do you know about sudo?
[02:43] <Azhi_Dahaka> ok... all my stuff installed via automatix will be overwritten?
[02:43] <AD|Ubuntu> matt
[02:43] <thirdy> I need to install java
[02:43] <LjL> !automatix > Azhi_Dahaka    (Azhi_Dahaka, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:43] <LjL> !java > thirdy    (thirdy, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:43] <thechris> I had been told that the newest version of gnome will allow you to keep the file save dialogs open in "advanced" mode.  Is this true?
[02:44] <Azhi_Dahaka> !WorksForMe
[02:44] <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.
[02:44] <AD|Ubuntu> matt
[02:44] <AD|Ubuntu> yes
[02:44] <tirkan> LjL yes it is.Well, I'm using Beryl Window Decorator though :o
[02:44] <rory096> so, why should i switch to linux?
[02:44] <CWar> the real reason stopped by (and it wasn't to spar with ljl) was to ask about copying large files from an xp pc to xubuntu ... I get an error ("Specified network name no longer available") about 50% through the copy
[02:44] <LjL> tirkan: that might be the culprit, i'd say. try disabling it and see if there's any difference.
[02:44] <AD|Ubuntu> hey
[02:44] <Azhi_Dahaka> ok, so a plain vanilla install of Dapper should upgrade to Edgy without hitches, right?
[02:45] <jrib> Azhi_Dahaka: yes, in theory :)
[02:45] <LjL> CWar: well, now you know that ntfs-3g isn't going to solve that. however, are you using smbfs or cifs? you should use the latter, as the former is deprecated (both are part of Samba)
[02:45] <AD|Ubuntu> you
[02:45] <jrib> AD|Ubuntu: do you have an ubuntu question
[02:46] <hendaus> bruenig:  can u give me vcdgear for linux ?
[02:46] <AD|Ubuntu> you
[02:46] <tirkan> LjL I'v tried that already...not a change.the thing is that it's been like this ever since I installed Ubuntu 7.04.in pages with dark backgrounds it displays the text perfectly, but in other with white or grey backgrounds it doesnt
[02:47] <CWar> cifs doesn't ring any bells ... i've tried it using drag/drop on xp's file manager and also tried using WinSCP ... both give the "spec net name no longer avail"
[02:47] <LjL> bruenig: hendwhat?
[02:47] <Boshi> jordan sorry
[02:47] <bruenig> LjL, hendaus is a nick
[02:48] <LjL> CWar: so basically, the *Ubuntu* box is the one serving files (and you have the Samba server installed on it), while the Windows box is the client?
[02:48] <bruenig> hendaus, what do you mean vcdgear
[02:48] <LjL> !pm > bruenig    (bruenig, see the private message from Ubotu) | i see... you can use this
[02:48] <bruenig> ah but I want to benefit the others
[02:49] <hendaus> bruenig:  thanx, i have found one :)
[02:49] <CWar> i've got the files on the xp machine and it's from that pc that i'm trying to copy them over the local net (wired 100) to a shared dir on the linux box
[02:50] <Allex> does anyone know why i cant install the nvidia drivers without the x-server crashing?
[02:50] <tirkan> LjL ok,nevermind...i'll sort it out anywayz!
[02:50] <tirkan> or ask for help.lol
[02:51] <LjL> CWar: alright, but the shared dir is on the Linux box, that's the important part. means Samba is running on the linux box. now, as to why that would happen... not sure, perhaps the linux box tries to go into standby mode after a while or something?
[02:51] <lancer> Allex, Nvidia have always been a bit of a problem because they refuse to open source their drivers, so pick up on their crashes is slow. Often, you need to have stopped X in order to install them.
[02:51] <CWar> it's funny b/c the share never drops off ... the copy just terminates ... i can immediately copy a smaller file over without doing anything to restart/reset the connection
[02:52] <CWar> it's only the big files (100M+ or so) that cause the error
[02:52] <Regenerater> awesome, thanks for that all go
[02:52] <brendonjt> hi all
[02:52] <hendaus> bruenig: dont ignored me coz i remember oneday u gave me vcdgear,but i have found it another time :) thanx
[02:52] <hendaus> LjL:  i found it :)
[02:53] <boojah> does anyone know if there is a fix to the "black windows" bug in nvidia with beryl?
[02:53] <Regenerater> hey brendonjt
[02:53] <klotho> hello.. I'm trying to install sun-java6-jre and I can only see java5 in the repository... what should I do to get 6?
[02:53] <jrib> klotho: what version of ubuntu?
[02:53] <Melophobic> hi
[02:54] <klotho> the previous verison
[02:54] <klotho> version
[02:54] <jrib> klotho: what is the actual number or name?
[02:54] <Vaske_Car> Ubuntu & Vista Dual Boot - where to find good tutorial?
[02:54] <klotho> apparently there were some problems with feisty with my laptop
[02:54] <brendonjt> klotho: check ubuntu guide it tells you how to install java and also the ff plugin
[02:54] <ProN00b> how do i enable mp3 preview in nautilus ?
[02:54] <Jordan_U> boojah, I have seen it talked about in the forums, try asking @ #ubuntu-effects or #opencompositing
[02:54] <Melophobic> can anyone tell me what is the best driver for intel
[02:54] <klotho> I have 6.10 installed
[02:54] <jrib> klotho: enable backports if you are on edgy
[02:54] <Melophobic> i810 or intel?
[02:54] <jrib> !backports > klotho (see the private message from ubotu)
[02:54] <Dev0205> Hi, anybody familiar with Enemy Territory?
[02:54] <JABJabJAB> Im trying to build a feisty live CD from scratch, up until now i have extracted the squashfs  made my changes (installed LVM and plugins,mplayer) then mksquashfs resquashed it and mkisofs, this works fine but i was curious how ubuntu does it.
[02:54] <JABJabJAB> i ran debootstrap feisty /blah http://archicves....        chrooted to the new system and install linux kernel. now i know i can just install the packages that i want eg ubuntu-desktop but is there a proper way to build debian based systems from scratch
[02:55] <SlimeyPete> Dev0205: I used to play it
[02:55] <Azhi_Dahaka> offtopic: anyone has Year Zero by NIN?
[02:55] <Jordan_U> !offtopic | Azhi_Dahaka
[02:55] <ubotu> Azhi_Dahaka: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[02:55] <Dev0205> Do you recall a way to make it auto connect to an IP from the program launcher? :)
[02:55] <thirdy> cannot create directory: permission denied
[02:55] <wols_> JABJabJAB: imho using apt-get to install the stuff you want is the proper way. as long as you have base-system all set up and installed
[02:55] <crimsun> JABJabJAB: yes.  See the Debian New Maintainer's Guide (http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/) and the Ubuntu Packaging Guide (http://help.ubuntu.com, 6.10 tab)
[02:56] <lancer> Nooooo - I've tried making a big tar.gz of student files ready to burn to DVD. The tar.gz is 5.8Gb... when I try to burn it to DVD it says "There was an error writing to the disc: Unhandled error, aborting" and when I try writing as file it says "File too large for filesystem" which is rubbish, as I've deleted all the original files and have 14 Gb free space to play with - what do I do now?
[02:56] <SlimeyPete> Dev0205: blimey...no, sorry
[02:56] <Boshi> Jordan_U:  if i dont take the volume to the maz the the sound doesnt get bad
[02:56] <The> Does anyone know how to change the user images at the login window?
[02:56] <CWar> azhi ... is that the NIN song about tring to get large files from xp to linux? if so, that's not really off-topic at all
[02:56] <LjL> CWar, if you google that error, you'll see there's more than 10000 articles, but few of them deal with Samba, while the majority deal with Windows. none apparently deal with Ubuntu. so i'd suspect it's a Windows problem really - although as of now, the only meaningful suggestion i've found is http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/winvista/1179618958 , which is still very generic.
[02:56] <ThePioneer> Hey whats up everybody!
[02:56] <Jordan_U> lancer, FAT does not support files > 4 GIG
[02:57] <fsckr> besides xmms is there an mp3/media player like winamp for ubuntu? I liked k-jofol for xmms but that does not work on ubuntu.  I have yet to see that work since I first started using ubuntu dapper
[02:57] <boojah> any ideas why my windows lags so much when i resize it? even worse in beryl.. i have 3d rendering and 22000 fps in glxgears..
[02:57] <LjL> fsckr: beep media player, and the new incarnation of it.
[02:57] <brendonjt> fsckr: have you tried amarok
[02:57] <Boshi> Jordan_U:  hmm totem to
[02:57] <lancer> Jordan_U, so I use "split" or something to make two parts and cat to join them and it would be okay? Does ISO996 ore whatever have to rely on FAT restrictions?
[02:57] <Hunix> Does anyone know how to change the user images at the login window?
[02:57] <LjL> !players > fsckr    (fsckr, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:57] <CWar> i've googled the error (which is a windows error), and the actual links are mostly forum posts where people have the same prob w/o solution ... i don't get the same error when copying the same files from xp to xp
[02:58] <fsckr> LjL, can you change to look of it and not just the skins?  And yea brendonjt i use amarok now
[02:58] <Melophobic> can anyone tell me what is the best driver for intel
[02:58] <Melophobic> i810 or intel?
[02:58] <LjL> fsckr: i don't really know, i'm on KDE and use Amarok.
[02:58] <v1nc1> Hello all.
[02:58] <Clinton__> Is it possily to use xmodmap to map a key to multiple keys?
[02:58] <VeganChick01> i split an ISO file into a bunch of files and transferred them from my ubuntu partition to my OS X partition...but then what i rejoin all the files, the properties of the ISO have been lost...
[02:58] <klotho> cool, that backports works...
[02:58] <crdlb> Melophobic, the intel driver has the advantage that it will do widescreen without 915resolution
[02:58] <klotho> thanks!
[02:58] <fsckr> ok LjL thx
[02:58] <Khrajin> How do you change window colors in Gaim>IRC?
[02:58] <Jordan_U> lancer, Oh, sorry, for some reason I though you were writing to FAT, nvm :)
[02:58] <v1nc1> Does anybody know if Feisty is compatible with Intel Wireless Draft N?
[02:58] <brendonjt> fsckr: that is what i use and found it the best
[02:59] <Khrajin> v1nc1: Probably not.
[02:59] <fsckr> yea amarok so far is what i like as well
[02:59] <Khrajin> v1nc1: No clue though honestly.
[02:59] <Melophobic> crdlb: tkx
[02:59] <Hunix> Amarok is very good
[02:59] <fsckr> i just like eye candy :P and the ability to change the shape
[02:59] <mx-zoom> amarok pwns
[02:59] <lancer> :-( Doesn't like the errors Ubuntu is giving him now that he's trying to do essential backups.
[02:59] <ProN00b> how do i enable mp3 preview in nautilus ?
[02:59] <Hunix> I just dont get what the mood option is for ahah
[02:59] <v1nc1> anybody have ubuntu running with intel wireless draft N???
[03:00] <ThePioneer> Does anybody know of a good dvd burner for 7.4?
[03:00] <v1nc1> i'm about to buy a dell laptop!
[03:00] <Jordan_U>  v1nc1 I know that the infrastructure for pre-N is there in devicescape, I don't know about intel's drivers in particular
[03:00] <p1ls> cool
[03:00] <ThePioneer> Or ubuntu in general
[03:00] <Jordan_U> ThePioneer, Video or Data?
[03:00] <mx-zoom> ProN00b: see if there is a packages called mpg123 or mpg321
[03:00] <ThePioneer> Video
[03:00] <LakomLacen> amarok sux on ubunti cos it's a KDE app
[03:01] <Khrajin> Khrajin: test
[03:01] <boojah> has anyone tried out the new wine version?
[03:01] <v1nc1> Jordan_U: for wireless N could i download restricted repositories and get it working
[03:01] <ThePioneer> boojah: how is its?
[03:01] <ThePioneer> it**
[03:01] <Hunix> Does anyone know where you can change the user image at the login window?
[03:01] <LakomLacen> boojah: compiling mine right now
[03:01] <Jordan_U> v1nc1, I have no idea
[03:01] <minhlt> hi everyone
[03:01] <v1nc1> crap
[03:01] <boojah> ThePioneer: no idea.. compiling it now
[03:01] <abasinisvacant> hello, i have a 'netgear' wireless card.  i'm trying to get it to work on my ubuntu feisty.  now, i found my router and such, and it seems like all should work well, but something's still wrong, i can't connect still.  can someone help?
[03:02] <minhlt> what's the best FTP client fo ubuntu?
[03:02] <pchilds> Is the newest release of ubuntu stable? Just curious.
[03:02] <v1nc1> minhlt: filezilla
[03:02] <Hunix> gFTP
[03:02] <ThePioneer> I have it but don't no any good windows programs to use it with...
[03:02] <Boshi> Jordan_U: could it be that vlc volume is to high?
[03:02] <Jordan_U> Hunix, System -> Administration -> Login Window
[03:02] <defcon> is there a script I can get to mount and set disks to automount in fstab?
[03:02] <Jordan_U> Boshi, I have no idea
[03:02] <Boshi> Jordan_U: oki
[03:02] <Hunix> Jordan_U Thanks
[03:02] <Boshi> bye everyone
[03:02] <linos> I need help.  I installed java for my ubuntu 6.10 edgy eft using the './j2re-1_4_2_13-linux-i586.bin' command in the shell.  How can I uninstall the java program?
[03:02] <v1nc1> nobody's running wirless N???
[03:02] <Boshi> Jordan_U: bye and thanks for all help ;)
[03:03] <minhlt> thank you
[03:03] <rory096> so, why should i switch to linux/ubuntu?
[03:03] <Khrajin> Excluding Gaim and Kopete, what is a good IRC chat client that allows color customization and channel alerts when someone types your name?
[03:03] <Khrajin> rory096: why not?
[03:03] <ProN00b> mx-zoom, thanks
[03:03] <v1nc1> Khrajin: i think pidgin may
[03:04] <Jordan_U> rory096, Depends on what you do, and if Linux suits those needs better than windows
[03:04] <ThePioneer> Anybody know what I can use to burn a dvd video with ubuntu?
[03:04] <Melophobic> rory096: simply because it isnt windows
[03:04] <Melophobic> lol
[03:04] <rory096> Khrajin: laziness? hardware not working?
[03:04] <Khrajin> Melophobic: lol
[03:04] <brendonjt> does anyone here use KEEP to back up there system?
[03:04] <lancer> Okay - CD burner can make 8Gb DVD of iso image of Elephants Dream no problem, but it won't let me Archive a single tar.gz of 5Gb onto DVD so I'm assuming DVD+R has a max size of single files. Anyone know how to split it to correct sizes?
[03:04] <v1nc1> rory096: because i said so
[03:04] <Khrajin> Khrajin: are you on vista or something?
[03:04] <CoUdErMaNn> hi everyone
[03:05] <brendonjt> hi
[03:05] <Regenerater> v1nc1: i have wireless network card
[03:05] <Khrajin> rory096: Are you on vista or something?
[03:05] <Jordan_U> Khrajin, You shouldn't talk to yourself in public :)
[03:05] <v1nc1> Regenerater: is it Draft N?
[03:05] <rory096> Jordan_U: i dont do much more than browse the internet and use irc. last time i tried linux (using fedora), my wireless card wasnt supported, so i could even do that. presumably, i wont have that problem now, (since my computer is the laptop dell is preinstalling ubuntu on), but will i have other problems?
[03:05] <Khrajin> Jordan_U: :P thx
[03:05] <rory096> Khisanth: at the moment, unfortunately, yes, but i'm considering whether to switch back to xp or to install linux (or dual boot)
[03:06] <CoUdErMaNn> I am really  hapy with ubuntustudio great distro! congratulations (y)
[03:06] <Khrajin> rory096: What do you use your computer for?
[03:06] <v1nc1> shi* i'm about to hit the buy button!
[03:06] <rory096> Khrajin: mostly the internets
[03:06] <Khrajin> rory096: i heard it is like a series of tubes
[03:06] <Khrajin> rory096: Any games?
[03:06] <v1nc1> seriously, nobody's used wireless n?
[03:07] <Khrajin> v1nc1: It's not in mainstream yet.
[03:07] <Regenerater> v1nc1: i am using one now
[03:07] <v1nc1> khrajin: are drivers available
[03:07] <rory096> Khrajin: usually not, but if i do switch to linux, i'd be running windows on a different partition. i'm kind of just trying to figure out if i want to mainly use windows, or mainly use linux
[03:07] <v1nc1> ?
[03:07] <Khrajin> v1nc1: No idea.
[03:07] <defcon> is there a script I can get to mount and set disks to automount in fstab? my sda1 isnt mounting
[03:07] <defcon> how do I do this
[03:07] <defcon> >
[03:07] <defcon> ?
[03:07] <v1nc1> Khrajin: i know it's not mainstream but it will be
[03:07] <Khrajin> rory096: Would the windows partition be for games, or to have access to windows-only non-game programs?
[03:08] <v1nc1> thus i won't to purchase with n
[03:08] <Jordan_U> rory096, Just because your laptop is the same model as the one Dell is installing Linux on, does not mean it has the same hardware, the regular model comes with broadcom wireless and ATI graphics, which is pretty bad when it comes to Linux support ( moreso the ATI card, since broadcom support no longer requires NDIS in Ubuntu )
[03:08] <rory096> Khrajin: probably both, but i probably wouldn't use either very often
[03:08] <boojah> wine 0.9.38 works with wow here.. still something wrong with how the terrain gets in range in opengl though... anyone else had this problem?
[03:08] <Khrajin> rory096: I have a Dell E1500/6400 and I'm running Ubuntu and Windows dual partition on it.
[03:08] <v1nc1> crap
[03:08] <pchilds> Can someone tell me about the feisty upgrade?
[03:09] <Khrajin> !feisty
[03:09] <ubotu> Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) is the latest version of Ubuntu. Upgrading to Feisty: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FeistyUpgrades - Downloading: http://www.ubuntu.com/download - For BitTorrent downloads, see !Torrents
[03:09] <linos> I need help.  I installed java for my ubuntu 6.10 edgy eft using the './j2re-1_4_2_13-linux-i586.bin' command in the shell.  How can I uninstall the java program?
[03:09] <pchilds> Are there any real perks from edgy?
[03:09] <A_b> I need to purchase a new computer for fall classes in IT and need to run windows xp (min) and was wondering about the Dell Ubuntu computers. Where can I find specs??
[03:09] <Khrajin> pchilds: it's shiny
[03:09] <rory096> Jordan_U: didnt dell say they'd work with the hardware manufacturers to make sure the hardware's supported? (i dont have a graphics card, though, i mainly just care about my wireless card working, but if it doesnt, i have a second, external one anyway, that's supposed to work well with linux)
[03:09] <boojah> linos: have you tried synaptic?
[03:09] <Khrajin> A_b: www.dell.com ?
[03:09] <dawn_chorus> pchilds, all sorts.  restricted drivers manager is the best.
[03:09] <Regenerater> linos: why would you want to?
[03:10] <rory096> Khrajin: have you had any major problems?
[03:10] <lancer> Looks like ISO9660 does not support filesize of more than 4.2Gb
[03:10] <dawn_chorus> pchilds, but if edgy is working smooth for you, why upgrade?
[03:10] <wastrel> edgy is nice
[03:10] <Khrajin> rory096: It took a bit of manipulating to get the ATI drivers working right. But I play World of Warcraft on it.
[03:10] <Jordan_U> rory096, Did you actually buy the one with Ubuntu pre-installed or just the same model with windows pre-installed, because they are not the same hardware
[03:10] <Jordan_U> ?
[03:10] <defcon> How do I get a DISK UUID
[03:10] <defcon> ?
[03:10] <rory096> Khrajin: using wine?
[03:10] <defcon> !UUID
[03:10] <ubotu> To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell:  blkid  (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[03:10] <A_b> Khrajin: not much there but will try again, haven't been there in a week :)
[03:10] <pchilds> I am happy with edgy for the time being.
[03:10] <rory096> Jordan_U: i have the same model, not the preinstalled ubuntu one
[03:11] <Khrajin> rory096: yeah
[03:11] <dawn_chorus> blkid = block id ?
[03:11] <linos> Regenerater:  I installed this package using the command line method instead of synaptic manager.  so not I would like to learn how to uninstall this program just for my sake later
[03:11] <TakeOut{u}> linos apt-get remove package
[03:12] <Khrajin> rory096: I need to know tho... the qusetion I asked about programs
[03:12] <Jordan_U> rory096, Then you will probably have to install bcm43xx-fwcutter to get your wireless to work, the one with Ubuntu pre installed uses an intel card and the same model with windows uses ( I think ) a broadcom card instead
[03:12] <lancer> Anyone know what this message I keep getting in terminal is? kernel: [ 8431.554010]  EDAC MC0: UE page 0x2c, offset 0x0, grain 4096, row 0, labels "": i82860 UE
[03:12] <rory096> Khrajin: i'd be using windows mostly for non-game programs, though perhaps also some games. it wouldnt be often, though
[03:12] <Regenerater> linos: can you see it in add/remove programs?
[03:12] <linos> TakeOut{u}: will that command work even though I used a command like ././j2re-1_4_2_13-linux-i586.bin to install the program?
[03:12] <Khrajin> rory096: If there are no games then look into VMware Player, if there are games just do a dual-boot and load up XP
[03:13] <rory096> Jordan_U: is that as annoying to install as ndiswrapper?
[03:13] <linos> Regenerater: checking hold on
[03:13] <Khrajin> rory096: Feisty auto detected all of my hardware excluding video card.
[03:13] <Khrajin> rory096: including wifi card
[03:13] <spiderman_> hi there, im trying to install bluez package and getting following error, " checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables " can anyone tell me what to do?
[03:13] <Khrajin> rory096: and download KNetworkMAnager, it is the best thing to come to Feisty
[03:13] <rory096> Khrajin: hmm, vmware didnt occur to me. where could i find a vmware image of windows? (or would i have to make it myself?)
[03:13] <Khrajin> !vmware
[03:13] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player"), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. For VMWare Server, instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers
[03:14] <Jordan_U> rory096, No, it's very easy, you just install the application and it asks you if you want it to download the firmware for your card automatically
[03:14] <dooglus> spiderman_: use synaptic to install it - don't build from source
[03:14] <Khrajin> rory096: Would have to make it yourself, but not difficult. Effectively you create an ISO from yoru Windows CD
[03:14] <rory096> Jordan_U: ah, that sounds like a nice change
[03:14] <rory096> Khrajin: ok
[03:14] <dinkle> hey for some reason i cannot add programs to run at start up help?
[03:15] <Regenerater> or linos: you might be able to use this command in terminal:sudo apt-get remove <package>
[03:15] <abasinisvacant>   can someone help me set up my WEP key under linux ubuntu for my wifi card (Netgear)?
[03:15] <blahblahx> hi
[03:15] <Jordan_U> rory096, You will have to enable Community Maintained software first, do you know how to add a repository with System -> Administration -> Software-sources ?
[03:15] <thirdy> sudo install
[03:15] <lockd> dinkle: applications or modules/services?
[03:16] <linos> Regenerater:  it does exist in the add/remove applications
[03:16] <thirdy> sorry wrong terminal
[03:16] <dinkle> lockd, applications.  i add them in sessions, and it is like they do not save.
[03:16] <spiderman_> what is synaptic? where can i get it
[03:16] <Khrajin> rory096: Learn Apt. It's cool. :D
[03:16] <Khrajin> spiderman_: Synaptic should be already installed
[03:16] <Khrajin> !synaptic
[03:16] <ubotu> synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
[03:16] <Jordan_U> !synaptic | spiderman_
[03:16] <ubotu> spiderman_: please see above
[03:16] <dooglus> spiderman_: system > admin > synaptic
[03:16] <Khrajin> rofl
[03:16] <linos> Regenerater:  so I could basically move it from there, correct?
[03:16] <rory096> Jordan_U: i suppose i could figure it out
[03:16] <Regenerater> linos: then i guess just untick it in there and it should remove it
[03:16] <Regenerater> yeah
[03:16] <rory096> Khrajin: Apt?
[03:17] <blahblahx> is it possible to install ubuntu to an external firewire drive?
[03:17] <Regenerater> linos: this page has some commands that might help too https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/add-applications/C/advanced.html
[03:18] <Jordan_U> blahblahx, Yes, But I think it takes some extra configuration to do it
[03:18] <lockd> dinkle: you are logging out?
[03:18] <blahblahx> is there a link?
[03:18] <blahblahx> for me?
[03:18] <Khrajin> !apt | rory096
[03:18] <ubotu> rory096: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[03:18] <spiderman_> im getting this error when i open synaptic, E: Type 'x' is not known on line 44 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:18] <spiderman_> E: The list of sources could not be read.
[03:18] <spiderman_> Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem.
[03:18] <spiderman_> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[03:18] <Khrajin> rory096: The benefit of Apt is it is very robust and you can add in packages via hte command line
[03:18] <linos> Regenerater:  thanks for your help
[03:19] <Regenerater> abasinisvacant: I think you can use System>administration>network
[03:19] <Jordan_U> spiderman_, Did you edit your sources.list recently?
[03:19] <blahblahx> can i have a link for installing ubuntu to an external hard drive?
[03:19] <rory096> and i would use apt as opposed to synaptic?
[03:19] <dinkle> lockd, i dont understand i need to log out before going into sessions?
[03:19] <blahblahx> synaptic is fueled by apt
[03:19] <spiderman_> i dont no
[03:19] <ubuntuEdgy> sorry about that
[03:20] <Regenerater> sweet as linos still learning myself
[03:20] <rory096> ah, i see
[03:20] <AD|Ubuntu> Sorry
[03:20] <AD|Ubuntu> I was in the shower and my cousin got on.
[03:20] <AD|Ubuntu> I do actually have an Ubuntu question
[03:21] <kadaz> is there swf standalone player for playing offline swf games?
[03:21] <Jordan_U> spiderman_, Can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[03:22] <Regenerater> kadaz: http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/
[03:22] <AD|Ubuntu> Earlier today I partitioned my HD to make a small sector to put ubuntu on. But after installing Ubuntu onto the HD grub doesnt come up with an option to boot the other Vista partion
[03:22] <kadaz> installing now
[03:22] <kadaz> thxs
[03:22] <spiderman_> i edited source list to change boot menu option yesterday
[03:22] <CWar> on the swf offline thing ... i just use the firefox addon that lets you save swf files to your hard drive, then load the swf file in firefox ... it works
[03:23] <Regenerater> cool CWar
[03:23] <Jordan_U> kadaz, Gnash is still very Beta though, since it has to be reverse-engineered
[03:23] <lockd> didymo: i don't know much about sessions in Gnome
[03:23] <lockd> didymo: err, mischan

[03:24] <pm2> Strange problem with Ubuntu 6.06lts server - during install, if I press NumLock on the keyboard, the keyboard stops being responsive.  When I hit numlock, the numlock light goes on for a splitsecond, then goes off, and no other keys work.  This is a USB keyboard on a Dell server, using the amd64 install cd.  Anyone heard of this before?

[03:28] <lockd> dinkle: i don't know much about sessions - but I feel that is a bigger problem
[03:28] <dinkle> lockd, any ideas on the sessions issue?
[03:28] <dinkle> hmmm.
[03:29] <etherclear> how do I access a rwx samba share from bash if I don't know its name?
[03:29] <lockd> dinkle: i would advise trying to figure out the freezes first, but I know the least thing about that kind of problem
[03:29] <dinkle> lockd, ok thanks i appreciate it.
[03:29] <Ninina> EADG__: ok I'll try there...I'm doing "why you should use ubuntu" as my final speech for SP111 =P

[03:31] <Khrajin> Khrajin:

[03:40] <Nuked> why is it that amarok refuses to decode streamcast streams?
[03:42] <Melophobic> !intel
[03:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about intel - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:42] <comradeC> whats the command to get info on what driver xorg is currently using?
[03:42] <rory096> Khrajin: it appears that it should work ok, i'll do the install next week (as soon as i get home)
[03:42] <Khrajin> rory096: Great. Good luck :D
[03:42] <rory096> does ubuntu have a thing on the install disk to squeeze partitions, or should i use gparted?
[03:43] <Pelo> rory096, gparted is on the install cd
[03:43] <rory096> ah, perfect
[03:43] <Cretep50> o thanks anyhow
[03:43] <rory096> thanks

[03:44] <m1r> did anyone here get DWL-G122 C1 usb wlan to work ?
[03:44] <Pelo> m1r,  your best bet is to look up the model in the forum
[03:44] <m1r> pelo, tryed , and solved onlyhalf
[03:45] <vsmatck> was there a problem with nvidia-glx and the last kernel update?
[03:45] <Pelo> m1r,  what's the half that is still bugging you ?
[03:45] <Hillview> would disabling apci in the bios cause ubuntu to reboot after X is started from the install cd, by chance?
[03:45] <m1r> that half is that i cant conect to SSID
[03:46] <Pelo> vsmatck, many ppl have had problems with the last kernel update,  either try reinstalling the driver or boot the previous kernel,
[03:46] <Pelo> m1r, then you should search specificaly on that problem
[03:46] <m1r> ok i go check , tnx pelo
[03:46] <Pelo> vsmatck, so many ppl have had problems in fact that I would expect a patch shortly
[03:46] <vsmatck> Pelo, ok I'll just run the old one until a new kernel thanks.
[03:47] <Pelo> vsmatck, best of luck

[03:51] <VeganChick01> can someone explain to me the difference between kubuntu and xubuntu? i know that kbuntu has a KDE base while xubuntu has an xfce base, but that doesn't really tell me anything...
[03:51] <otero> lol
[03:51] <otero> thats the diff
[03:51] <Pelo> VeganChick01, each of those are desktop manager also with their own set of default applications,
[03:51] <Khrajin>  VeganChick01: That's really the main difference. It's just mostly the pre-installed desktop manager
[03:51] <Jordan_U> VeganChick01, Xubuntu has lightweight applications
[03:52] <Khrajin> Does the website come up on this? http://70.191.82.58/
[03:52] <Pelo> Khrajin, seems a tad on the slow side, it hasnT' loaded yet
[03:53] <Pelo> VeganChick01, is your question answered or do you require more info ?
[03:53] <rookiehwm> VeganChick01, it's really personal preference
[03:53] <rookiehwm> i like gnome, so i stick with reg. ubuntu
[03:53] <rookiehwm> xubuntu is like diet ubuntu
[03:53] <VeganChick01> pelo, no not really. if you can give more info, that'd be great
[03:53] <VeganChick01> does it help that i'm a native OS X user?
[03:53] <returnnull> hey all. i had a problem with feisty when i tried, where when i logged in, certain things wouldn't load, like the desktop switcher and stuff. desktop icons wouldn't load, no menus. i had to kill "bonobo-activation-server", and some things at least would then come back. i'm wondering if there has been any developments there.. if anyone knows how to fix it, maybe? it's the one single thing that's stopping me from using ubuntu all the time. i got fed up
[03:53] <returnnull>  and switched back to windows, and nobody needs that. save me? ^_^
[03:54] <rookiehwm> VeganChick01, OS X is secksy.
[03:54] <rookiehwm> but you knew that
[03:54] <VeganChick01> all of the ubuntu distros seem really cramped to me...
[03:54] <Pelo> VeganChick01, ifyou are an osx user youwill probably find gnome more familiar  that is the default desktop in ubuntu vanilla
[03:54] <VeganChick01> rookiehwm: yes, i know that
[03:54] <rookiehwm> lol
[03:54] <VeganChick01> Pelo: but its ugly :/
[03:54] <minhlt> has Ubuntu linux supported USB TV?
[03:54] <rookiehwm> VeganChick01, but you can make it purty
[03:55] <rookiehwm> art.gnome.org
[03:55] <rookiehwm> and gnome-look.org
[03:55] <Pelo> VeganChick01, you can change the themes and stuff ,  you donT' have to stick to the defaults
[03:55] <Jordan_U> VeganChick01, The default brown is an Ubuntu thing, not a Gnome thing :)
[03:55] <Pelo> VeganChick01,  you can even make it look like osx, threr are loads of themes to let you do that
[03:56] <rookiehwm> imho kde is uber oogly
[03:56] <rookiehwm> gnome is where it's at <3
[03:56] <returnnull> anyone have any idea what i'm talking about? :)
[03:56] <minhlt> pls help me
[03:56] <Pelo> I don'Tlike kde either
[03:56] <Pelo> minhlt, what with ?
[03:56] <me22> What package do I need to configure grub? I'm assuming I'm not expected to do it manually...
[03:56] <minhlt> has Ubuntu linux supported USB TV?
[03:57] <Jordan_U> me22, What do you need to change?
[03:57] <Khrajin> !mythtv | minhlt
[03:57] <ubotu> minhlt: MythTV is a TV framework for Linux - Instructions for using with Ubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV
[03:57] <VeganChick01> pelo: i know, i might just make it look like os x...if i try to find nice themes, i get cranky that they don't look "just right". and i can never find someone to help me change them...the art rooms are perpetually dead :(
[03:57] <Pelo> Khrajin, your page didn't load
[03:58] <Khrajin> Pelo: Know much about Apache?
[03:58] <minhlt> thank you :)
[03:58] <Pelo> VeganChick01, modifyuing a theme in gnome should be as simple as unpacking  one that is close enough and modifing the pcs inside
[03:58] <Pelo> Khrajin, nada , zip, ziltch
[03:59] <VeganChick01> Jordan_U: I know I can get rid of the brown, but the boxy-ness is really ugly to me. i think it's little better than windows...
[03:59] <VeganChick01> pelo: i can't find one that's close enough...and idk how to modify anything inside
[03:59] <Pelo> VeganChick01, boxiness ? you mean scare corners ?  you can get rid of that easily enough
[03:59] <rookiehwm> VeganChick01, you'll like gnome's new desktop effects
[03:59] <Khrajin> How can I setup my network to make Apache work outside of my network? I've passed 80 thru to my Apache server. In my local network if I goto my outside IP address I get the webpage, but if you go here you don't get it. http://70.191.82.58/
[03:59] <Jordan_U> me22, What do you need to change?
[03:59] <rookiehwm> shadows and wobbly windows
[03:59] <me22> Jordan_U: I want to change the UUID to move ubuntu to another partition.  I'll also have to add windows and such, later.
[04:00] <Pelo> VeganChick01,  the "stuff inside" is mostly picks,  you can trade pcs for some from other thems that you like,
[04:00] <AnRkey> I have just decreased the size of my ntfs partition and create a new Ext3 partition with the freed up space. But now when I mount it I can't write to the partition. Anyone got any idea's
[04:00] <AnRkey> i have tried using mount -o rw
[04:00] <Jordan_U> me22, No, you don't need to do any of that, just run "sudo update-grub" after you have moved it
[04:01] <Pelo> Khrajin, there is an #apache
[04:01] <lancer> Yayyy! Finally - CD-writer does seem to be doing it's things - as long as I large tar.gz down into 1Gb pieces.

[04:16] <zerogt86> hey guys, i'm trying to update to 7.04 from 6.10 and am running into an error when the update manager is fetching some of the files.  does anyone have any suggestions?
[04:16] <lancer> VeganChick01, stick with Xubuntu if you like it - slicker
[04:17] <AnRkey> Jordan_U, That works as root
[04:17] <defecacy> most probably it's the repository that is not set
[04:17] <Jordan_U> VeganChick01, Oh, I thought you meant the difference between Ubuntu / Fedora / gentoo
[04:17] <AnRkey> Jordan_U,  so do i chmod the partition or the mount point now?
[04:17] <lancer> zerogt86, run synaptic to update all as well as the update manager - one may fix problems the other can't pick up.
[04:17] <cntb> zerogt86, chk backports in /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:18] <cntb> comment out
[04:18] <VeganChick01> Jordan_U: no, i decided to go with ubuntu when i had those 3 choices. sorry, i mentioned the 3 ubuntu distros i was considering in an earlier post
[04:18] <Jordan_U> AnRkey, If it's just data then chown it, if it is an install DO NOT chown it all :)
[04:18] <zerogt86> lancer, i believe everything is up to date, ill check again in synaptic.
[04:19] <zerogt86> cntb, what should i look for in /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[04:19] <thirdy> nice automatix2
[04:19] <Jordan_U> VeganChick01, the difference between K/X/Ubuntu s is just the selections of default packages, the applications themselves are the same and all applications can be installed on all versions
[04:19] <AnRkey> Jordan_U, chown the mount point or the partition?
[04:19] <p1ls> zero, what you want to find
[04:19] <gilo1>  I messed up an apt-get  application that I installed and manually removed it.. now I can't reinstall it with apt-get or remove it... is there a way to reset apt-get for that app?
[04:19] <lancer> zerogt86, once all up to date, run distro update from there. I got errors when I did this, it failed somewhere. When I ran it again it said it was updating to 6.10 :-8 but after it did (heart attack because I'm dial up so it's like... 3 days) it had actually given me 7.04
[04:20] <thirdy> is there a perfect friendly linux(xubuntu) site/guide for newbies?
[04:20] <p1ls> gilol, you tried apt-get remove application?
[04:20] <ToN_D2> can anyone help me?
[04:20] <Pelo> gilo1,  just apt-get install appname
[04:20] <gilo1> yep it fails on me
[04:20] <Jordan_U> AnRkey, The mountpoint, remember to do a -R for recursive
[04:20] <VeganChick01> Jordan_U: that's the only difference? so i should just pick the one that's prettiest? lol

[04:21] <gilo1> for apt-get install I get it's already latest version
[04:21] <lancer> zerogt86, just let it continue - if you end up having to kill it, run it again - should resume from where you left off.
[04:21] <ToN_D2> Pelo =\ ty
[04:21] <p1ls> it should be working then

[04:22] <Jordan_U> VeganChick01, Well not quite, for instance I think that Gnome has more power management options than XFCE, but Gnome can be installed on Xubuntu too. There is basically an Ubuntu base and the GUI is just another application on top of that base, you can have all three installed at once even!
[04:22] <TitanP4> is there a quick refrence chart for commands
[04:22] <lancer> zerogt86, doesn't start - you mean the computer won't boot?
[04:22] <godtvisken> Does anyone know about recording with audacity with a USB mic (it's actually webcam). The mic works fine in Skype, but I can't seem to record in audacity
[04:23] <VeganChick01> Jordan_U: power management?
[04:23] <Pelo> TitanP4, I think therer is one in here  http://revision3.com/forum/showthread.php?t=84
[04:23] <zerogt86> lancer, i mean the update process stops and tells me an error when it can not fetch a certain file
[04:23] <Pelo> godtvisken, I would start by checking the input device in audacity is properly selected
[04:23] <zerogt86> lancer, the only think i can do is close it
[04:23] <TitanP4> great thanks I will check it out looks like lots of stuff there
[04:24] <Pelo> godtvisken, it,s probably not called input device
[04:24] <gilo1> oh, it might work, I just did a touch on the missing file that apt-get was looking for and it went ahead with the uninstall
[04:24] <godtvisken> Pelo: ok
[04:24] <lancer> Okay zerogt86, what file can't it get? I'm thinking you should go into synaptic repository settigns and select a repo source manually.
[04:25] <thirdy> how do I check how much space left in my xubuntu partition?

[04:25] <Jordan_U> VeganChick01, Like what to do when you unplug your laptop for instance ( though now that I think of it I am sure XFCE does in fact have options for that ), all I mean is that if there is a feature that you want that XFCE does not have you might consider switching to Gnome or KDE
[04:25] <Pelo> thirdy, doesnT' thunar tell you ?
[04:25] <Falstius> thirdy: df -h
[04:26] <Jordan_U> VeganChick01, A good example is that you can't use network-manager in XFCE
[04:26] <thirdy> thunar??
[04:26] <VeganChick01> Jordan_U: i haven't really noticed a difference in features

[04:29] <Jordan_U> VeganChick01, In XFCE you will have to use a more clumsy interface like wifi-radar
[04:29] <Pelo> godtvisken, does your usb mic have a devtree or something like that ,  maybe it is another device in that list,  try them all one by one ,  that's realy the only option I can give you , maybe someone else knows better
[04:29] <codename> how do i recover my XORG.CONF File
[04:29] <EADG__> codename: didn't you back that up a few days ago?
[04:29] <codename> No, I lost the code.
[04:30] <Pelo> codename,  there is loikely a bacikup named  xorg.conf~  just rename it
[04:30] <StrontiumDog> codename, you should have a xorg.conf.bak or somesuch in /etc/X11 just copy it over your xorg.conf
[04:30] <EADG__> codename: do you still have the backed-up file?

[04:31] <Pelo> godtvisken,  possibly, I'm no good with hardware issues,  I've been very lucky on that front and I haven't had to figure anything out
[04:31] <Jordan_U> VeganChick01, In what way the same, in look or in functionality?
[04:31] <gravemind> StroniumDog- thanks - will it work on cds also? I don't have any blank dvds

[04:32] <StrontiumDog> gravemind, it will make DVD,VCD and SVCD.  VCD or SVCD will work in most DVD players

[04:33] <AnRkey> Jordan_U, Thanks a stack! it's working like a charm. I had to chown the mount point but only once the partition was mounted and presto. Our community makes me proud to be an Ubuntu user :)
[04:33] <rookiehwm> i never found enlightenment easy to use
[04:33] <rookiehwm> or useable at all for that matter
[04:33] <lancer> zerogt86: can you access - http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy-commercial/main/binary-i386/  ?
[04:34] <Pelo> rookiehwm, I didn'T say easy, I said bright and shinny
[04:34] <zerogt86> lancer, i havent tried, let me see
[04:34] <Ha_> I used gparted to copy a my / and /home partitions from the old drive to a new drive, confirmed fstab UUIDs, and installed grub on the new drive but grub cannot mount some partition. What am I missing?
[04:34] <Colro> Is there a way to mount an ISO in Ubuntu? Sorry if it's a dumb question, no clue what I'm doing :)
[04:34] <zerogt86> yes i can
[04:34] <Jordan_U> VeganChick01, Well The functionality is never going to be exactly the same since the menus are different ( although other than the apple menu OSx's panel doesn't do much ) but the look you can easily get by just finding the graphic that OSx uses or cheat and grab it from a screenshot, then right click the panel and set it as the background
[04:34] <zerogt86> lancer, yes i can
[04:34] <zerogt86> lancer, should i download the file?
[04:34] <Falstius> Colro: sudo mount -o loop my.iso somedir
[04:35] <Pelo> rookiehwm, you must admit, enlightenment looks fabulous
[04:35] <lancer> zerogt86, I'm not expert here, although I'd assume that if you download it and put it into wherever the package management is puttting them, it should resume from there.
[04:35] <Pelo> Ha_,  nothing that I can think of
[04:35] <rookiehwm> Pelo, i agree
[04:35] <rookiehwm> but for actual use, i'll stick to guhnome
[04:35] <NemesisD> hi, im trying to help someone get some data off a tape drive, we did tar tvf /dev/st0 and we got no output, not even errors, but we are using the verbose flag, what gives?
[04:36] <Pelo> rookiehwm, I like gnome to
[04:36] <Ha_> It just gives an obscure Error 17, can't mount partition. Any way to determine which partition it can't mount?
[04:36] <Ha_> All partitions mount fine with the livecd of course
[04:36] <lancer> NemesisD, maybe it's a really big tar ?
[04:36] <zerogt86> lancer, you have any idea where all the files are getting saved?
[04:36] <Jordan_U> VeganChick01, I have never really seen a good complete reproduction of OSx's look but many people try, I think that Linux looks better when you try to make it look good rather than just making it look like something it's not, but that's just me
[04:36] <matthew1429> Hi guys, if I wanted to install another distro on with ubuntu for testing purpuses, would you guys give it it's own partition?  how would you go about installing fedora after ubuntu?
[04:36] <lancer> zerogt86, not off the top of my head - let me see...
[04:36] <NemesisD> lancer, but it goes to a new flashing prompt, i would understand if it just stuck there while opening it, but it acts like its done
[04:37] <VeganChick01> Jordan_U: yeah. i just had a lot of problems trying to edit themes for ubuntu b/c i couldn't edit the stuff I wanted to
[04:37] <matthew1429> im having wayy too many problems with samba on ubuntu and wanted to see if another distro will solve them
[04:37] <Jordan_U> VeganChick01, This is a theme I like, there are OSx look alike instructions on the same site: http://www.taimila.com/orange-look.php
[04:37] <micahspoop> gah, themes
[04:37] <micahspoop> Im having trouble even getting mine to work
[04:38] <theTrav> how do I change my resolution to 1280x720 ?  I put it in my xorg.conf but the option doesn't appear
[04:38] <VeganChick01> ooh! i really like this! but idk what they did...http://static.flickr.com/30/57293900_c06fc516a8_o.png
[04:38] <theTrav> is there a command I can run to specify resolution from a terminal window?
[04:38] <micahspoop> I just installed gtk dev and relating stuff and I can't seem to get my theme manager to recognize the theme I compiled
[04:38] <Ha_> Is copying a partition to a different sized partition (using dd) supposed to be possible?
[04:39] <Jordan_U> VeganChick01, That is a window manager called enlightenment, I don't like it myself
[04:39] <lancer> zerogt86, would /var/cache/apt/archives be right? Check if it's got other files from your work.
[04:39] <VeganChick01> pelo: is this link default enlightenment or heavily modified? http://static.flickr.com/30/57293900_c06fc516a8_o.png
[04:39] <VeganChick01> Jordan_U: why don't you like it?
[04:39] <zerogt86> lancer, ill check now
[04:39] <Falstius> Ha_: if the other partition is larger, it should work but the usable space will be the old one.
[04:39] <Khrajin> Can anyone see this webpage? http://70.191.82.58
[04:39] <Pelo> VeganChick01, I donT' realy know  I've never installed it
[04:40] <Ha_> Falstius: ugh, serious? gparted shows the space as the full partition size
[04:40] <LaLLOuS> hello again , whats the name of a console utiliy to surf the internet on ubuntu? something like lynx ?
[04:40] <Ha_> Falstius: I guess copying with dd is out then
[04:40] <rookiehwm> lynx
[04:40] <rookiehwm> or links
[04:40] <rookiehwm> or links2
[04:40] <kbreit> I just installed ubuntu server and it's not coming with a routing table for the Internet, just my LAN.  Any reason?
[04:40] <crdlb> LaLLOuS, links2 elinks lynx w3m
[04:40] <LaLLOuS> ok letme try it rookiehwm thanks
[04:40] <Jordan_U> VeganChick01, All of the screenshots I have seen of it look out dated
[04:40] <zerogt86> lancer, i'm not sure if thats correct, but i'll copy the file in there anyway
[04:40] <Pelo> VeganChick01, give the wikipedia article a look , the screenshots are usual pretty close to default
[04:40] <Ha_> What's the recommended way to copy a drive?
[04:40] <NemesisD> lancer, you're brilliant
[04:40] <Simple1> (first time not using a guided install)  I'm trying to use both, my primary hard and my slave drive as one continuous space in this install of Feisty Fawn.  Can anyone help?
[04:41] <lancer> Thanks NemesisD - for what?
[04:41] <NemesisD> lancer, he neglected to tell me that there was nothing before the flashing cursor, which would indicate that the command is still being executed
[04:41] <lancer> NemesisD, oh - right - really big tar hey no problem :-)
[04:41] <NemesisD> he led me to believe that he was back at the bash prompt but theres like 20-40gb of data on there and its still working

[04:41] <ubotu> Simple1: 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
[04:41] <Jordan_U> Simple1, I don't think that that is possible with the LiveCD installer
[04:41] <EADG__> Khrajin: page doesn't load and ping returns 'unknown host'
[04:41] <Falstius> Ha_: the partition is the physical space, the filesystem (which is what you'd copy with dd) is the usable space.  You can use "sudo cp -a from to" to copy all of the files (and keep the ownership, permissions, etc).  There's also backup tools.
[04:41] <Khrajin> Odd.
[04:41] <Simple1> I see
[04:42] <Colro> I'm trying to run a game directly out of my Windows harddrive with wine, and so far it works great, but I can't save or anything because it says it's unable to write to the disk. Can I run the game as root or something to fix this?
[04:42] <LaLLOuS> rookiehwm do u know in which package links is located
[04:42] <LaLLOuS> ?
[04:42] <Falstius> Colro: you probably need ntfs write support (try ntfs-3g)
[04:42] <Lo_Pan> you probably need the fuse ntfs crap
[04:42] <lancer> zerogt86, copy it there (check permissions and stuff just in case) and then rerun manager - it should now bypass the file
[04:42] <Jordan_U> !ntfs-3g | Colro
[04:42] <ubotu> Colro: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[04:43] <LaLLOuS> i am not able to find the surfing console
[04:43] <Colro> Thanks much :)
[04:43] <matthew1429> do you have to "defrag" in linux?
[04:43] <lancer> matthew1429, no
[04:43] <Pelo> matthew1429, no , welcome to this is not windows
[04:43] <matthew1429> :)
[04:43] <lockd> LaLLOuS: links is available in links package
[04:43] <ziroday> does anyone know how to set the default program e.g. Mplayer instead of totem and amarok instead of rhythmbox
[04:43] <VeganChick01> Jordan_U: the screenshots for the original enlightenment look really ugly and outdated yes, but i've found some really nice themes for it
[04:44] <Ha_> Falstius: the new partitions mount and look fine (and even have the same UUIDs) but grub can't mount /
[04:44] <LaLLOuS> rookiehwm it is elinks
[04:44] <Simple1> I'm really going to be slaving the whole system across the network, but the best burners I've got are on that machine and I use them frequently..  so I didn't think server edition would be wise..  I'll check out the alternate cd
[04:44] <LaLLOuS> !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[04:44] <matthew1429> that's not a minor point
[04:44] <matthew1429> im obviously a noob
[04:44] <Pelo> ziroday, find a file,  right click , properties,  open with , you need to do it for each file type
[04:44] <zerogt86> lancer, it didnt work but i think im going to try using synaptic to reinstall bzip2 and see if that fixes the error
[04:44] <matthew1429> and have gotten used to little crap things like having to clean up your hd because it wasn't stored right
[04:44] <VeganChick01> i want a bigger display! :(
[04:45] <Khrajin_> Can anyone see this webpage? http://70.191.82.58 (try #2)
[04:45] <matthew1429> so using gparted to free another partition for another distro isn't preceded by anything
[04:45] <matthew1429> great
[04:45] <lancer> zerogt86, is pretty much sounded like a "can't download" error - I'd try changing the repo first.
[04:45] <ziroday> Pelo: if you have already done that and the default is something you dont want do you know how to change it?
[04:45] <Arex> Can someone tel me how to chmod /usr/share/firefox/chrome so I can add files to it
[04:45] <Colro> Another dumb question, is there a Linux media player that's able to play Shoutcast radio stations like Winamp can in windows?
[04:45] <returnnull> i'd offer you a free 6" if you weren't vegan, etc
[04:45] <cables> Colro, install Streamtuner, it's great.
[04:45] <Stettin|work|ESB> is tehre any way to access active directory resources (windows 2003 server) without administrator access to add an Ubunut machine to the domain?
[04:45] <Pelo> ziroday, same way, once you have added an app to open with , you can select it in the properties
[04:46] <Aerotwelve> Can anyone help me with starting the LiveCD? I always get the "Failed to start the X server" error message. In the x server output, my last messages are "(EE) VESA(0): No matching modes (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. Fatal server error: no screens found.
[04:46] <EADG__> Khrajin_: same, same :/
[04:46] <ziroday> Pelo: thanks ill try
[04:46] <Arex> Can someone tell me how to chmod /usr/share/firefox/chrome so I can add files to it
[04:46] <cables> Arex, you shouldn't do that
[04:46] <zerogt86> lancer, what should i change the repo to?
[04:46] <Pelo> Aerotwelve, you need the alternate install cd,  I'm guessingyou have an nvidia or ati video card ?
[04:46] <Jordan_U> Arex, That is not safe!
[04:46] <Arex> Why, I need to fix something cables
[04:46] <cables> Arex, just do alt-f2 and do "gksudo nautilus /usr/share/firefox/chrome"
[04:46] <Aerotwelve> Yep, thats it
[04:46] <bknitram> Can I get midi to play in totem or do I have to use timidity?
[04:46] <Pelo> Arex,  sudo chmod  755  /path
[04:47] <lancer> zerogt86, you should have a choice between "default" and specific countries - try *any* of the others
[04:47] <ziroday> Pelo: thanks youre a genius dont know how ididnt see that before
[04:47] <cables> Arex, although it's not a great idea to change permissions
[04:47] <Flannel> Arex: Don't chmod it, just become super user to add the stuff.
[04:47] <Arex> Nvm
[04:47] <Arex> I found an alternative command
[04:47] <cables> Arex, it's really best to just hit alt-f2 and do "gksudo nautilus"
[04:47] <Pelo> Aerotwelve,  you need to dl and install from the alternate install cd it is text based , you can install hte proper video drivers afterwards
[04:47] <lancer> zerogt86, you will need to refresh the availabilities list to do it
[04:47] <Arex> I didn't know you can just Move, files.
[04:47] <Aerotwelve> Alright, will do. Thanks.
[04:47] <Pelo> ziroday,  you were dazzled by the lovely interface
[04:48] <Aerotwelve> Pelo: Theres no way to do it from the LiveCD, even though I'm at a command prompt right now?
[04:48] <Ha_> Arex, if you change files in /usr/share/firefox/* they'll possibly be modified with a future patch
[04:48] <zerogt86> lancer, look at the error again : Failed to fetch http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy-commercial/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2); wouldnt sub process bzip2 be causing the error?
[04:48] <ziroday> Pelo: yeah know all i gotta do is work out how to seek through .flv files :z
[04:48] <Colro> Cables, I just installed streamtuner and found the station I'm wanting, but it gives an error "failed to execute child process "xmms" (no such file or directory).
[04:48] <m1r> Pelo , ty
[04:48] <lancer> Aerotwelve, yes there is - you need to reconfigure Xorg - but that can be fiddly
[04:48] <Pelo> Aerotwelve, I donT' think so,  unless you are using the DVD it has the alternate install on it , you can get ti from the boot menu
[04:48] <cables> Colro, do this in a terminal: < sudo aptitude install xmms >
[04:48] <Arex>  Can someone tell me why it says this
[04:48] <Arex> root@NoM:~# mv $HOME/userContent.css $HOME/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/chrome/
[04:48] <Arex> mv: target `/root/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/chrome/' is not a directory: No such file or directory
[04:48] <Arex> root@NoM:~#
[04:49] <Aerotwelve> Lancer/Pelo: Alright, I'll go grab the alternative CD. Thanks for your help.
[04:49] <Pelo> ziroday, I don't think you can, I never found out how
[04:49] <Jordan_U> zerogt86, No, because the file failing to download is causing the bzip2 error :)
[04:49] <Cosmo_>  I am trying to play a video file inside swiftfox but when it asks to install the plugin it comes back with the error "Unknown Plugin (video/divx) how do I fix it?
[04:49] <ziroday> Pelo: i keep trying
[04:49] <Pelo> m1r,  did you find waht you needed ?
[04:49] <zerogt86> lancer, ok, then how do i change my repository list?
[04:49] <cables> Arex, it might be easier to just do what I said, so you can just drag and drop.
[04:49] <felipe__> Has anyone been playing with myth tv? I need help my music is not showing on the listing
[04:49] <m1r> yes , obviously was network manager error Pelo
[04:49] <Ha_> Arex, you shouldn't be copying files into your home dir as root
[04:49] <Jordan_U> Cosmo_, Don't use swiftfox http://getswiftfox.org
[04:49] <m1r> i removed it and now working

[04:52] <m1r> tritium, my usb wlan card not workin
[04:53] <tritium> m1r: ah
[04:53] <ziroday> justinb: netwrok manager
[04:53] <cables> justinb, what does "network stumbler" do?
[04:53] <m1r> now without all ok
[04:53] <justinb> it just finds all open wifi signals
[04:53] <m1r> Pelo ? that sounds too much for my knowledge m8 :)
[04:53] <justinb> and logs them
[04:53] <m1r> minerale :)
[04:53] <lancer> zerogt86, what about the country one though? The one that's a pull donw list?
[04:53] <VeganChick01> ok, i think i'm going to back up my os x hd, and then install xubuntu and enlightenment :D
[04:54] <justinb> thanks, ziroday...but i'm looking for more of a "wardriving" type of app.

[04:55] <m1r> bye m8
[04:56] <VeganChick01> Jordan_U: i have been dualbooting :P
[04:56] <lancer> zerogt86, that page I gave you - the guy "solved" it by not having any 3rd party. All you need is to have it succeed just the once for the distro upgrade, then switch what you like back on.
[04:56] <pietro10> gilo1: Sguil, IDS Policy Manager, and CEREBUS
[04:56] <thirdy> whats the egames for linux?
[04:56] <VeganChick01> is there way to use os x programs in xubuntu?
[04:56] <gilo1> snort is a network intrustion prevention and detection system
[04:56] <ziroday> justinb: well if wardriving what u into check out this site http://sectools.org/
[04:56] <Aerotwelve> Polo or Lancer: Alright, I've got the alternative CD booted on this laptop. What option do I want, Install in text mode?
[04:56] <Jordan_U> deadowl, Don't use NDIS wrapper with broadcom cards, for the vast majority ( all ? ) it is no longer required, use the native drivers with bcm43xxfwcutter instead
[04:56] <zerogt86> lancer, ok i'll try that

[04:57] <pietro10> VeganChick01: Xubuntu stands for the Xfce, not Mac OS X - and no, you can't

[05:00] <IcemanV9> tritium: video group? let me check ...
[05:00] <tritium> IcemanV9: aye
[05:00] <cables> tritium, I read that fglrx can only work with one user at a time

[05:00] <oTEK> what is the command to turn my terminal to super user?

[05:00] <tritium> IcemanV9: did you mean at the same time?
[05:00] <cables> oTEK, sudo -i

[05:01] <lancer> zerogt86, I would try minimalist - turn off any non essential repos - just have the main - see if that lets you through.
[05:02] <pietro10> The "all-knowing" part, I mean?
[05:02] <IcemanV9> tritium: my wife and I are using the same laptop (i didn't want my wife to use my userid; she always mess it up)
[05:02] <pietro10> I don't anymore
[05:02] <lancer> zerogt86, oh - yes - do them
[05:02] <tritium> IcemanV9: :)
[05:02] <zerogt86> lancer, the only repo up is the main
[05:02] <pietro10> zerog186: go to System -> Preferences -> Software Sources and add the Universe, Multiverse, and Restricted by checking their checkboxes
[05:02] <VeganChick01> Jordan_U: if i have rEFIt installed, will that carry over when I reinstall xubuntu?
[05:02] <pietro10> yes
[05:03] <pietro10> You're speaking to a Mac OS X multibooter
[05:03] <Jordan_U> pietro10, Yes
[05:03] <Aerotwelve> Anyone good with partitioning here? Can anyone explain what this line means? "resize SCSI1 (0,0,0), partition #2 (sda_ and use freed space
[05:03] <lancer> Aerotwelve, probably you want a VESA driver (basic) to get it going
[05:03] <IcemanV9> hmm... don't see video group. i reckon it is not doable. :(
[05:03] <thirdy> deadowl, thanx!
[05:03] <thirdy> finally
[05:03] <cables> IcemanV9, it isn't doable.
[05:04] <pietro10> Aerotwelve: that simply resizes your hard disk, which is SCSI
[05:04] <Azhi_Ubuntu> my friend told me to install beagle
[05:04] <Aerotwelve> Oh, alright, thanks.
[05:04] <lancer> Aerotwelve, it means you already have something on the drive - it's offereing to use the remainder space.
[05:04] <cables> IcemanV9, you can't have more than one user using fglrx at the same time. ATI makes crappy LInux drivers :(
[05:04] <Arex> How can I find out my FireFox path?
[05:04] <zerogt86> pietrol0, they all are checked
[05:04] <pietro10> Arex: which firefox
[05:04] <cables> Arex, what firefox path?
[05:04] <Azhi_Ubuntu> i can't see it?
[05:04] <cables> Arex, you mean where your settings are stored?
[05:04] <Arex> Firefox web browser
[05:04] <IcemanV9> cables: nvidia works with more than one user at the same time?? (just curious)
[05:04] <Arex> Mozilla Firefox
[05:04] <cables> Arex, where your settings are stored?
[05:04] <Jordan_U>  Arex "whereis firefox" :)
[05:04] <Aerotwelve> lancer: Alright, yeah, I have a Windows partition. Before I hit yes, is there any way I can resize my Windows partition if needed later on?
[05:04] <cables> Arex, what part of Firefox?
[05:05] <cables> IcemanV9, yep
[05:05] <lancer> Hahaha - Arex "which firefox" is the command to type into a console
[05:05] <pietro10> Aerotwelve: yes - but defrag your windows one first
[05:05] <cables> Aerotwelve, yes, you can resize when it's installed
[05:05] <zerogt86> lancer, i think im going to reboot and try again.  thanks for the help
[05:05] <Arex> Please enter the installation path of the Mozilla, SeaMonkey,
[05:05] <Arex> or Firefox browser (i.e., /usr/lib/mozilla):
[05:05] <Arex> I donno
[05:05] <Aerotwelve> cables/pietro10: Alright, thanks.
[05:05] <Arex> Im installing flash
[05:05] <Aerotwelve> Also, Ubuntu plays nice with Vista, correct?
[05:05] <IcemanV9> dang!
[05:05] <pietro10> It should!
[05:05] <Jordan_U> Aerotwelve, Yes
[05:05] <lancer> Aerotwelve, your best be would be to defrag windows prior to the install and then use maybe Partition Manager to drag it to the size you want - then install Liinux after that.
[05:05] <cables> pietro10, there really is no need to defrag it, it just means you're spending the time defragging instead of resizing
[05:06] <Aerotwelve> lancer: Okay, I'll do that. Thanks.
[05:06] <lancer> Aerotwelve, I don;t know - Vista may have nasty things in bootloader
[05:06] <pietro10> cables: if you don't defrag first, you could lose parts of files by mistake
[05:06] <pietro10> and that means corrupt hard disk
[05:06] <Colro> I'm trying to mount an ISO, and I ran mkdir /mnt/iso to create a mount point already, but when I run the command "sudo mount -o asdf.iso /mnt/iso" it tells me that it can't find /mnt/iso in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[05:06] <cables> Aerotwelve, the LInux installer will actually give you the option to automatically resize it to the size you want, there's no need to use the separate partitioner. And DO defrag it first, if you don't, it can cause problems.
[05:06] <m1r> funnyest thing with this rt73 driver that i didnt even put anything into /etc/network/interfaces
[05:06] <pietro10> Coiro: You should mount into /media
[05:06] <cables> pietro10, oh, I guess NTFS support isn't totally worked out then. I didn't have a problem, but that's just my system.
[05:06] <Aerotwelve> cables: I'll defrag it now. Thanks.
[05:06] <Falstius> Colro: mount -o loop (the loop part is important)
[05:06] <Jordan_U> pietro10, Only if you are using a *very* poorly designed partitioning program :)
[05:07] <pietro10> oh boy
[05:07] <lancer> Aerotwelve, if I were you, I would get another hard drive - completely clean - to play on to test drive Linux. That way it donesn't fail *and* take out Windows with it.
[05:07] <pietro10> ok what a misconception
[05:07] <cables> NTFS is such a crappy FS
[05:07] <pietro10> And now you can write to it in Linux!
[05:07] <pietro10> !ntfs
[05:07] <gravemind> lols
[05:07] <cables> basically parted uses a hacked-up implementation of NCT
[05:07] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[05:07] <jscinoz> hey guys i'm making a small script to add to the "open with" choices for ISO files, my question is this: what variable should i use in the script to refer to the file that called it? %1 or something else?
[05:07] <Aerotwelve> lancer: I would, but my only option is a laptop right now, and unless I carry around an external drive
[05:07] <Jordan_U> pietro10, You should not need to defrag to resize a partition
[05:07] <cables> i mean ntfs
[05:07] <Aerotwelve> Also, would Windows' built in defragger
[05:08] <cables> Jordan_U, you shouldn't, but parted is using a hacked up implementation of ntfs because Microsoft won't release the specs.
[05:08] <Aerotwelve> be sufficient?
[05:08] <pietro10> jscinoz: close, it's $1
[05:08] <jscinoz> thanks :)
[05:08] <cables> Aerotwelve, it should be, yeah.
[05:08] <lancer> Aerotwelve, they are more expecnsive than larger ATA drives, but you can slot in and out laptop drives just the same
[05:08] <pietro10> that is, if you want to use that to open the file
[05:08] <cables> Jordan_U, so it sometimes messes up drives
[05:08] <kadaz> what the command to save a file @ console?
[05:08] <pietro10> kadaz: what do you mean?
[05:08] <lancer> Aerotwelve, for the defrag - yes - don't use 3rd party defraggers - do it from the OS
[05:08] <cables> kadaz, what do you mean by "save a file?"
[05:08] <Flannel> kadaz: Save?  That'd depend on how you had it open
[05:08] <kadaz> save etc
[05:08] <cables> lancer, 3rd party defraggers can be better
[05:09] <Aerotwelve> Alright, and I'll consider a new drive before I do this. Thanks guys.
[05:09] <kadaz> Iam in nano and I want to save a text file that I edited
[05:09] <Jordan_U> cables, You don't need to with parted, I have never had any problems and the official documentation explicitly stated that you don't need to defrag NTFS to resize it
[05:09] <lancer> cables really? I dojn;'t use Windows much - can you recommend any?
[05:09] <Flannel> kadaz: ctrl-O is save in nano.
[05:09] <pietro10> OH - Hit Ctrl+X. It will ask you to save changes. Hit Y and hit ENTER.
[05:09] <cables> Jordan_U, what do YOU use then?
[05:09] <Azhi_Ubuntu> tilda is cool
[05:09] <Jordan_U> cables, parted
[05:09] <pietro10> What is tilda?
[05:09] <kadaz> ok
[05:09] <Arex> Hello my flash installation says this in the terminal
[05:09] <Arex> Please enter the installation path of the Mozilla, SeaMonkey,
[05:09] <Arex> or Firefox browser (i.e., /usr/lib/mozilla):
[05:09] <pietro10> !repeat | Arex
[05:09] <Azhi_Ubuntu> how can i make it run without me having to start up a terminal and typing tilda?
[05:09] <cables> Jordan_U, parted is the only good non-destructive one on Linux
[05:09] <etherclear> exit
[05:09] <jscinoz> pietrol0, can i ask you some questions in PM regarding my script? I dont want to spam the channel.
[05:10] <pietro10> Arex: just type "which firefox"
[05:10] <Flannel> Arex: Whats wrong with the flash from the repositories?
[05:10] <kbreit> How do I add a persistent route in ubuntu server?
[05:10] <piratepenguin> anyone wanna talk to me on SIP? I'd like to test it :)
[05:10] <dr_willis> Arex, you are manually runnign the flash isntaller?  why?
[05:10] <pietro10> jscinoz: yes
[05:10] <ubotu> Arex: 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
[05:10] <justinb> what's tilda?
[05:10] <brylie> a console' similar to some games, that appears from the top of the screen when you hit a keyboard shortcut pietro10
[05:10] <Arex> Flannel, Every single time I run flash, firefox crashes, so doesnt all other browsers
[05:10] <Jordan_U> cables, http://man.linux-ntfs.org/ntfsresize.8.html "Defragmentation is NOT required prior to resizing because the program can relocate any data if needed, without risking data integrity."
[05:10] <dr_willis> ~~ is the tilda
[05:10] <ian_> my system isn't automounting usb devices after a while, how do I restart the auto mounter? is that part of gnome? what process to I relaunch?
[05:10] <Arex> dr_willis, its  a tilde not tilda
[05:10] <jscinoz> !loopback > jscinoz
[05:10] <dr_willis> arex singular or plural?
[05:11] <cables> lancer, I use a PerfectDisk trial. It does a good job of consolidating free space and defragging system files that the Windows defragger can't catch. Also, Diskeeper, which makes the defragger used in Windows by default, has a commercial version w/ more features.
[05:11] <EADG__> is tilda like Yakuake?
[05:11] <dr_willis> Look its a flock of Tildas!
[05:11] <Arex> dr_willis, im not from mexico.
[05:11] <jscinoz> sudo mount -o loop $1 /media/$1
[05:11] <lancer> cables - cool :-)
[05:11] <kadaz> do state repostiories much different that ca ones?
[05:11] <dr_willis> we alwys called them 'squiggles' :)
[05:11] <EADG__> Gabo. GABO. GABO!!
[05:11] <cables> Jordan_U, I never defragged first, but I've heard here that sometimes the ntfs implementation used in parted can sometimes screw up and kill stuff.
[05:11] <Arex> which firefox

[05:11] <lancer> I call it "lil maggot" but it never caught on ;-)
[05:11] <cables> Jordan_U, I never had a problem resizing undefragged partitions
[05:12] <defcon> how do I mount a drive so all users can access it?
[05:12] <brylie> a console' similar to some games, that appears from the top of the screen when you hit a keyboard shortcut EADG__
[05:12] <cables> Arex, what exactly are you trying to do?
[05:12] <dr_willis> defcon,  depends on the filesystem and kind of drive
[05:12] <Khrajin_> Is it possible to have data on port 80 be forwarded to port 555 via /etc/apache2/ports.conf?
[05:12] <ian_> usb mass storage devices aren't automounting, what process handles that in the standard ubuntu gnome desktop?
[05:12] <brylie> tilda is a console' similar to some games, that appears from the top of the screen when you hit a keyboard shortcut EADG__
[05:12] <defcon> dr_willis, ext3
[05:12] <defcon> dr_willis, its a main drive /media/sda1
[05:12] <pietro10> ian_ I don't understand why it is not automouting - maybe a corrupt USB drive?
[05:12] <Arex> cables, get flash that doesn't crash my browser EVERY time I use it (e.g. Youtube)
[05:12] <dr_willis> defcon,  normally for ext3 - you would  treat it as any other filesystem/ext3/drive - by setting permissions on the files/dirs.
[05:13] <EADG__> brylie: Ahh, I see. is like Yakauke :)
[05:13] <Jordan_U> cables, That probably is more of a correlation than causation, people who don't defrag often are more likely to also not check their file system for corruption
[05:13] <cables> Arex, what version of flash do you have installed?
[05:13] <dr_willis> defcon,  what i do on mine . is make a subdir for each user and chown that for that user.
[05:13] <endo2016> can anyone point me a some docs on how to setup sw RAID1?  Note that i do not want the root partition to be RAID; just two spare HDD where the installation does not reside.  All the docs I've found assume you want to install on RAID
[05:13] <dooped> I hate ubuntu and now it has messed up my boot, i cannot get back into windows
[05:13] <pietro10> Arex: please don't install it yourself! Here's what you do:
[05:13] <pietro10> !flash | Arex
[05:13] <ubotu> Arex: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash

[05:13] <defcon> dr_willis, good idea
[05:13] <mafios0> where to configure my network internal interface to use a static ip like 192.168.0.1
[05:13] <mafios0> ?
[05:13] <ian_> pietro10: no, everything works after a fresh boot, just after a while it stops
[05:13] <Arex> pietro, I am following the instructions on that page
[05:13] <lancer> pietro10, no - I imagine it's "taken" the slot for sda1 and the drive is now going through sdc1 which does not automount - dmesg would confirm
[05:13] <ian_> pietro: manually mounting it works, just a pain in the butt
[05:13] <pietro10> ian_: weird, I don't know what to do
[05:13] <alex319> i am having sound problems
[05:13] <dr_willis> defcon,  just picked up a NDAS hard drive last week also. :) a networked enabled HD.
[05:13] <Arex> IT WANTS to know the firefox installation path
[05:13] <defcon> dr_willis, I will try and chown a dir for the user thankyou for the help
[05:13] <NemesisD> lancer, got an error :| input output error after it was running that tar tvf
[05:13] <alex319> with my browser
[05:13] <Jordan_U> mafios0, System -> Administration -> Networking
[05:14] <alex319> is there anyway i can fix it
[05:14] <cables> dooped, unless you know how computers work, don't screw around with your MBR. Ask nicely and maybe one of us will consider helping you.
[05:14] <mafios0> i don't wana use ifconfig i wana use the network file in ubuntu server
[05:14] <Flannel> Arex: You've been given the answer multiple times.  Please stop.
[05:14] <defcon> dr_willis, nice, gotta get me one of those
[05:14] <mafios0> Jordan_U the files
[05:14] <defcon> hehe
[05:14] <mafios0> no grafical interface here
[05:14] <lancer> NemesisD, possibly corrupt drive / wrong format?
[05:14] <Arex> Flannel, NOBODY will explain to me what exactly to do!!

[05:20] <Jordan_U> linux_user400354, Yes
[05:20] <alex319> and my usb headphones selected
[05:20] <dedi> where i find the config file for mouse settings in X ?
[05:20] <NemesisD> lancer, all the things ive seen from googling have been accessing the device directly
[05:20] <Jordan_U> !ntfs-3g | linux_user400354
[05:20] <lancer> Nem, /dev/st0 is merely the partition number for the drive that contains the tar.gz file you're after
[05:20] <ubotu> linux_user400354: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[05:20] <Arex> Flannel, I put 'which firefox' into a new terminal, it gave me a path, I entered the path on the installer, and it said this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23677/
[05:20] <Azhi_Ubuntu> thx cableroy_
[05:20] <tonyyarusso> Arex: 'which firefox' will actually give you a symlink as its result, so you could skip a step by doing ls -l `which firefox` (with backticks)
[05:20] <lancer> NemesisD, /dev/st0 is merely the partition number for the drive that contains the tar.gz file you're after
[05:20] <NemesisD> lancer, so just ls -lah /dev/st0?
[05:21] <alex319> ?
[05:21] <lancer> NemesisD, no - that would show nothing - try it and confirm
[05:21] <Flannel> Arex: it's looking for just the directory.  Not the file.  You want simply /usr/bin it seems.
[05:21] <bruenig> Arex, /usr/lib/firefox is the asnwer
[05:21] <NemesisD> lancer, i trust you, what should i be ls'ing?
[05:21] <alex319> lol
[05:21] <bruenig> answer*
[05:21] <Khrajin_> What is a good FTP hosting package?
[05:21] <Azhi_Ubuntu> brb to bother a little more
[05:21] <lancer> NemesisD, you need to make a folder - like "/media/tapedrive"
[05:21] <Azhi_Ubuntu> gonna try the sessions thingie
[05:21] <dr_willis> bruenig,  yea - i was thinking that as well. :)
[05:21] <dooped> can i fix my drive off of the live cd and get rid of grub?
[05:21] <Azhi_Ubuntu> ;)
[05:21] <Arex> bruenig, No. It isn't - according to this installer.

[05:21] <NemesisD> lancer, ok and then what would the mount look like im terrible at mounting
[05:21] <NemesisD> oh wow that sounded wrong...
[05:22] <bruenig> Arex, what is this you are installing?
[05:22] <justinb> clear
[05:22] <Flannel> dooped: you need a windows CD to restore the windows MBR
[05:22] <lancer> NemesisD, then try "mount /dev/st0 /media/tapedrive"
[05:22] <snuf2> I have just set up ubuntu and discovered my ordinary account gets root privileges with sudo by reentering its password. I have also given a password to root and can now use root for root privileges as well. I am thinking of removing all root privileges from my regular log in so root has to be used. Would that cause any problems?
[05:22] <redcard> dooped: Not really, no.  You need your windows CD and you can recover that way.
[05:22] <dr_willis> dooped,  to get rid of grub you have to install some other bootloader to the MBR.
[05:22] <alex319> my usb headphones dont work on my firefox broswer but does for my rythmbox player what should i do
[05:22] <Khrajin_> !ftpd

[05:22] <Flannel> snuf2: There's no point to doing it.  Why do you want a root account?
[05:22] <bruenig> looks like flash plugin
[05:22] <Arex> beuenig, Flash.
[05:22] <cables> dooped, you need a Windows CD
[05:22] <bruenig> Arex, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[05:22] <endo2016> !raid
[05:22] <alex319> me?
[05:22] <Supaplex> while booting the 7.04 cd, what can I do to allow my usb keyboard to function? the ps/2 ports just don't seem to work.

[05:22] <dooped> ok flannel i have that do i  select fix?
[05:22] <lancer> Nem that should OPEN the drive in daid directory - your tar file will then be inside the /media/tapedrive" directory
[05:22] <alex319> i have to fix my flash pluggin?
[05:22] <redcard> snuf2: Umm.. you can remove your account from /etc/sudoers ,yes. (I think that's where it's at)
[05:22] <nalioth> Flannel: ping
[05:22] <lancer> NemesisD,  that should OPEN the drive in daid directory - your tar file will then be inside the /media/tapedrive" directory
[05:22] <Flannel> nalioth: ack
[05:23] <gilo1> !GProftpd
[05:23] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gproftpd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:23] <Arex> flashplugin-nonfree is already the newest version.
[05:23] <snuf2> Flannel: I need root privileges for some things but I would like an account that cannot not get root privileges at all.
[05:23] <bruenig> Arex, so it is already installed
[05:23] <IcemanV9> endo2016: please use '/msg ubotu raid' - that way you can see the message without being scrolling out of your view :D
[05:23] <Flannel> snuf2: You don't need a root account.  Ubuntu has been designed to not need/use the root account.
[05:23] <Arex> bruenig, I WANT flash that will STOP CRASHING  EVERY TIME i use it!
[05:23] <lancer> NemesisD, if you get it to mount (so ls /media/tapedrive shows the tar file) then tar command will work from the /media/tapedrive/xxxxx.tar.gz file
[05:24] <redcard> snuf2: THen just create another user account.  Second user accounts do not have sudo permission
[05:24] <cold> I'm trying to run a game through wine that requires the CD to play, but it says it can't find the CD even when it's in...it was working fine an hour ago or so, what could've caused this? I've tried rebooting :x
[05:24] <bruenig> Arex, calm down on caps, the flash you get in flashplugin-nonfree is exactly the same as the flash you get from adobe
[05:24] <bruenig> Arex, it has to be since they only put out binary
[05:24] <DVS01> are there any good typing programs for linux, such as an equivalent of mavis beacon? something that can teach someone typing
[05:24] <Arex> Then please, can you assist me in making my flash sto crashing every single time I use it? ^-^
[05:24] <dooped> Flannel: quick explanation on how to use the windows cd to fix please?
[05:25] <NemesisD> lancer, would nautilus actually show a tar.gz in /media/tapedrive?
[05:25] <redcard> Arex: Maybe you have a hardware problem?  Bad RAM?
[05:25] <lancer> NemesisD, yes, if the drive was mounted.
[05:25] <dr_willis> flash crashing - may or may not get fixed by 'reinstalling' flash. (i doubt if it will get fixed)
[05:25] <bruenig> Arex, I can't maybe someone else can. I have never had that problem since flash 7 at least
[05:25] <cables> dooped, boot from the Windows CD, and you should see somewhere an option to go into the Recovery Console
[05:25] <aleka> How do I configure GNOME to stop grouping windows from the same program in the task bar?
[05:25] <Arex> dooped, a recovery disk?
[05:25] <ziroday> DVS01: theres loads under Add/Remove
[05:25] <Arex> bruenig, when I used windows it works fine, the only problem is-it only crashes when I try to go to a different page
[05:25] <dooped> I have the windows xp disk
[05:26] <Arex> bruenig, on any browser
[05:26] <DVS01> ziroday: sounds good
[05:26] <cables> !who | dooped
[05:26] <ubotu> dooped: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[05:26] <dr_willis> dooped,  the windows cd boot process has a *hit F8  (or somthing) message to get to the 'rescue/recovery mode/shell'
[05:26] <lancer> NemesisD, mounting basically creates a link from /media/tapedrive to /dev/st0 but in a way that you can access the data
[05:26] <Arex> dooped, boot from the windows recovery disk
[05:26] <snuf2> redcard: Thanks for the info but would giving root a password and removing my account from soduers as you described interfere with how ubuntu works.
[05:26] <Arex> dooped, try #windows
[05:26] <ziroday> DVS01: np
[05:26] <redcard> snuf2: It should not.  No..
[05:26] <bruenig> Arex, it will go down after intensive flash usage occasionally, like if I watch 10 youtube vids in a row, it will go down occasionally, but generally it is ok
[05:26] <cables> Arex, I'm helping him, this is a fine channel.
[05:26] <NemesisD> lancer, theorhetically, would file roller work on this or would that be a bad idea?
[05:26] <redcard> snuf2: Honestly, though, what you are describing is not necessary.
[05:26] <dooped> Thank you dr.
[05:26] <Arex> cables, calm. alright.
[05:26] <foxx> hey guys i woke up this morning my linux box's screen is saying that my res is way to large, how can i change the res in the recovery mode? i dont know the command
[05:26] <dooped> cables:piss off
[05:27] <bruenig> Arex, just open a terminal, killall firefox-bin, and then restart firefox, restore session, takes 3 seconds and your good to go, in face if you want, just create a launcher that does that if it is a huge issue
[05:27] <Azhi_Dahaka> how hmm
[05:27] <TakeOut{u}> !ohmy | dooped
[05:27] <ubotu> dooped: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[05:27] <Jordan_U> foxx, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh
[05:27] <redcard> dooped: That's twice you've said that.  Watch the language.
[05:27] <cables> dooped, I'm explaining how to help, despite the fact that you insulted us all and the OS we use.
[05:27] <bruenig> fact*
[05:27] <Azhi_Dahaka> sessions doesn't store changes after i close it
[05:27] <Arex> bruenig, If I watch >1< youtube video, my browser goes gray and crashe.s
[05:27] <foxx> thanks jordan
[05:27] <dr_willis> dooped,  assuming of course that MS/company saw fit to give you a REAL windows cd.
[05:27] <lancer> NemesisD, would be a good idea, but you need to mount the /dev/st0 device to a folder or nothing will be able to see what's on it. Until mounted to some directory, the drive is effectivly "off"
[05:27] <Khrajin_> Where would the 'welcome message' file be from ProFTPd be located?
[05:27] <Arex> dooped, we can just stop helping you if you keep acting that way
[05:27] <Jordan_U> foxx, np
[05:28] <NemesisD> lancer, i had him do that and it appears to be working on it as we speak
[05:28] <bruenig> Arex, well flash is closed, they make crappy flash, we are stuck accepting it or not using it I suppose
[05:28] <dooped> dr_willis: yup i put this clunker together, baught the real deal
[05:28] <NemesisD> lancer, i assume it will take a bit because of how darn slow tape drives are
[05:28] <cables> dooped, we are volunteers. We are not paid. If you want paid support, Ubuntu offers that. Otherwise, you'll just have to be polite to us.
[05:28] <lancer> NemesisD, once it's mounted, all the reading you've done on tar files will work from there.
[05:28] <alex319> my usb headphones dont work on my firefox broswer but does for my rythmbox player what should i do
[05:28] <Arex> dopped, may I add, we choose to do this.
[05:28] <snuf2> redcard: Maybe you are right that it is not necessary but I going to try it that way (it will then be working in the same way as my Fedora install which I am used to)  -may be I will change later - thanks for your help.
[05:29] <NemesisD> lancer, im essited! :D
[05:29] <Arex> However, I am 99% skilled on windows support more, so I usually hang around #windows ^-^
[05:29] <cables> Arex, it's dooped, not dopped :)
[05:29] <lancer> NemesisD, did it work?
[05:29] <Arex> Oh really?
[05:29] <NemesisD> lancer, still going
[05:29] <cables> Ah, he's probably /ignored me, even though I've tried to help him despite his crap
[05:29] <redcard> dooped: At this point what you are describing is Windows support issues, not Ubuntu issues.  Please respect that we are trying to help you, but that restoring your MBR for Windows operation is not an Ubuntu support issue.

[05:31] <Stettin|work|ESB> is it possible to make a desktop shortcut run as a super user? I can't connect to Battle.net for Warcraft 3 in Wine with the desktop shortcut, but if I launch from terminal with sudo it works fine
[05:31] <lancer> NemesisD, not sure - depends what it was. If ext3 then you should be okay without saying. Otherwise, try mount -t vfat /dev/st0 /media/tapedrive
[05:31] <Arex> redcard, what?
[05:31] <cables> dooped, this is what happens when you treat volunteers who want to help you badly... they STOP wanting to help you. It's really not that big a surprise.
[05:31] <oTEK> eadg_ mind sending it to my email?
[05:31] <lancer> NemesisD, vfat = fat32 format
[05:31] <Arex> redcard, what Did I do???
[05:31] <riotkittie> When I was borrowing *cough cough* my neighbor's wireless, i was able to connect to the internet full time. i have since gotten a FON router, and while i was able to connect to my own network at one point, now i put my wireless card in and i cannot get online. nm-app says something like i have no hardware tho my card does show up under iwconfig or whatever. (its a d-link with an atheros chip). and my passwords and whatever are stored and
[05:31] <riotkittie> proper :[
[05:31] <Azhi_Ubuntu> it doesn't stores the settings

[05:32] <cables> Arex, don't pull that, that doesn't apply.
[05:32] <redcard> cables: He is attempting to recover his MBR.  That's a windows program, on a windows OS.
[05:32] <riotkittie> free speech has to do with the government. not people on the internet.

[05:32] <justinb> Brue, so helpful
[05:32] <NemesisD> lancer, we aren't sure, we definitely know it was recorded on some flavor of unix, and we just got an error saying we must specify filesystem

[05:33] <cables> dooped, if you insert your Windows CD, you will see a way to get to the Recovery Console. Go to the Recovery Console and type "fixmbr". This should repair your Windows MBR and restore the ability to run Windows.

[05:33] <Arex> DVS01, microsoft office is made by microsoft, you could try WINE but I highly doubt it would work.
[05:33] <ziroday> DVS01: crossover office (you have to pay but thier are torrents)
[05:34] <DVS01> cool
[05:34] <DVS01> how similar is it?
[05:34] <NemesisD> lancer, so mount -t /dev/st0 /media/tapedrive ?
[05:34] <dooped> Its funny how you all know soooo much and are the "gods" of code, till some one needs simple instructions then its lots of sas and back talk, cause i am upset about losing my boot
[05:34] <ziroday> Arex: actaully MS office works well in linux
[05:34] <bruenig> DVS01, no it actually allows you to run microsoft office

[05:37] <cables> Jordan_U, after that, it's a lost cause
[05:37] <redcard> andymeows: You find one and start working on it ;)
[05:37] <tonyyarusso> andymeows: http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate
[05:37] <DVS01> how fast does it perform? close to native? i have a 30mbit/5mbit connect, so it uses up some cpu sometime =P
[05:37] <lancer> NemesisD, The  argument following the -t is used to indicate the file system type.  The file system types which are  currently  supported include:  adfs,  affs,  autofs,  coda, coherent, cramfs, devpts, efs, ext, ext2, ext3, hfs, hpfs,  iso9660,  jfs,  minix,  msdos, ncpfs,  nfs,  nfs4,  ntfs,  proc,  qnx4, ramfs, reiserfs, romfs, smbfs, sysv, tmpfs, udf, ufs, umsdos, usbfs, vfat,  xenix,  xfs, xiafs.   Note  that  coherent, sysv and xen
[05:37] <lancer> ix are equivalent and that xenix and coherent will be removed at  some  point  in  the future  use sysv instead. Since kernel version 2.1.21 the types *ext and xiafs do not exist anymore. Earlier, usbfs was known  as usbdevfs.
[05:37] <Azhi_Ubuntu> i tried everything on the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup but i couldn't make tilda to load when i stert up my sesion
[05:37] <andymeows> Thanks guys
[05:37] <cables> DVS01, FULL speed. Not 3/4, or any fraction... it runs as if it were on Windows.
[05:37] <jason__> shitch ubuntu is takes less dixk space
[05:37] <mneptok> cables: do you think major torrent releases run on top of uTorrent? i assure you Ubuntu doesn't. ;)
[05:37] <Azhi_Ubuntu> it just doesn't add to the startup items
[05:37] <bruenig> DVS01, in terms of the networking, it will download at same speeds, it probably consumes a slightly larger amount of RAM, but that is just because you have wine running too
[05:37] <cables> mneptok, I mean as a client, not a server...
[05:38] <mneptok> cables: clients are servers with torrents
[05:38] <LordLimecat> question, why would restricted modules break my audigy2?
[05:38] <cables> mneptok, good point :)
[05:38] <DVS01> well ram isnt much of an issue
[05:38] <desire> hello, recently my sound volume have been very soft; even though it's on full volume level
[05:38] <mneptok> cables: the tracker is a wholly separate thing
[05:38] <linos> how to uninstall a program in ubuntu 6.10 edgy eft if apt-get remove command doesn't work
[05:38] <lancer> Okay - I have to go - see y'all
[05:38] <ziroday> desire: check your pcm levles
[05:38] <NemesisD> lancer, nooo
[05:38] <LordLimecat> is above issue a known problem?  should i report it?
[05:38] <NemesisD> i got not a block device error
[05:38] <cables> mneptok, I'm just saying that right now, one of the best GUI clients is uTorrent, and it runs nicely in Wine.
[05:38] <Arex> May I inquire, what exactly does 'Linux Servers' version look like and differ from this? (Probably a lot hehe)
[05:38] <desire> ziroday: it's on full
[05:38] <lancer> Okay - I'll leave IRC on but I'm in shed tidying a few things
[05:39] <cables> Arex, you mean Ubuntu Server?
[05:39] <LordLimecat> Arex: its commandline only IIRC
[05:39] <Arex> cables, yes.
[05:39] <dooped> yes dr. i realize that but i was needing back to windows to keep my info there
[05:39] <ziroday> Arex: theres no default gui(only comman line)
[05:39] <cables> Arex, for starters, it's text only :)
[05:39] <linos> does anyone know  how to uninstall a program in ubuntu 6.10 edgy eft if apt-get remove command doesn't work
[05:39] <cables> Arex, no mouse
[05:39] <jason__> i have 40gb hd 512 ram 2.0mhz p4 cpu would xubuntu or kde or just plain ubuntu be the best
[05:39] <cables> !repeat | linos
[05:39] <ubotu> linos: 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
[05:39] <Arex> ziroday, ok thats what I thought
[05:39] <Flannel> linos: How did you install it?
[05:39] <Arex> cables, I don't think that would be so easy to use?
[05:39] <Arex> LOl
[05:39] <dooped> going to try a boot from window cd fixmbr
[05:39] <bruenig> dooped, I gave you a single command that would fix it
[05:39] <ziroday> jason__: ubuntu would run fine on that
[05:39] <NemesisD> lancer, what would not a block device indicate
[05:40] <cables> dooped, good idea, that's what we've been telling you all along.
[05:40] <Jordan_U> linos, Can you pastebin the output?
[05:40] <cold> is it possible to force normally full-screen programs to run in a window in wine?
[05:40] <DVS01> what desktop manager should i use on a p3 1.2ghz, 512mb ram? would gnome run ok?
[05:40] <ChikbuKai> hi pplz
[05:40] <cables> DVS01, it would run fine.
[05:40] <tonyyarusso> DVS01: yeah
[05:40] <DVS01> cold: you can make wine start in a virtual desktop. it will be fullscreen, but that full screen is just a window
[05:40] <jason__> doesnt xubuntu take les disk space
[05:40] <dooped> bruenig: that was the boot fixmbr got it
[05:40] <LordLimecat> also, is it normal to have to manually install linux-restrictedmodules?
[05:40] <desire> Ziroday: it's on the loudest level (full)
[05:40] <ziroday> DVS01: maybe just
[05:40] <riotkittie> DVS01: GNOME will run fine but i say try a number of them out and go with the one you like the best
[05:40] <Khrajin_> is there a command for apt-get to reinstall something?
[05:40] <ziroday> desire: dunno then
[05:40] <foxx> jordan~ this is about the question i asked you earlier, i typed the command in it works and then when i reset im still having the same problem, the xserver is still an incorrect ress
[05:40] <DVS01> sounds good
[05:40] <dooped> bruenig: tks
[05:41] <bruenig> dooped, no, you can do it within linux with that find command
[05:41] <ziroday> foxx: have you edited the resolution in xorg?
[05:41] <cable> dooped, I'm cables from before. I actually tried to help you, but you obviously didn't want my help.
[05:41] <MnemonicNeko> just a quick question to ppl? how come the ubuntu i just burned wont boot from the cd?
[05:41] <dooped> bruenig: crud! i must have missed it
[05:41] <cable> MnemonicNeko, does your system normally boot from CDs?
[05:41] <riotkittie> bbiab. if i can actually get a connection when i boot into a distro. gah.
[05:41] <MnemonicNeko> yeah
[05:41] <desire> Ziroday: thx for trying anyways
[05:41] <Jordan_U> foxx, Did you select only the resolutions you wanted when asked by dpkg-reconfigure ?
[05:41] <lancer> NemesisD, I think your question to ask is "I have a tar.gz on a tapedrive, which I think it /dev/st0. I dojn't know how to mount the drive, particularly because I can't remember the format it is in. Can someone please help me figure it out?" - not a block device means either /dev/st0 is not correct (is it /dev/st1 ?) or it may be that you have wrong fs type.
[05:41] <Flannel> MnemonicNeko: if you open the CD in afile browser, do you see a bunch of files? or just an iso file?
[05:41] <linos> Jordan_U:  I install java for my firefox browser using the command './j2re-1_4_2_13-linux-i586.bin'
[05:41] <cable> MnemonicNeko, okay. Try running the CD integrity check.
[05:41] <bruenig> dooped, yeah scroll up, it is find /dev and a bunch of other stuff after it
[05:41] <foxx> im still learning linux .. so whats this xorg
[05:41] <bruenig> !xorg
[05:41] <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
[05:42] <MnemonicNeko> ok
[05:42] <ziroday> !resolution | foxx
[05:42] <ubotu> foxx: please see above
[05:42] <ChikbuKai> gonna give ubuntu a try, had some questions - im gonna go dual boot and  know there are some raw tools for reading/writing to ntfs drives comments on reading ntfs drives from ubuntu?
[05:42] <TakeOut{u}> !ntfs
[05:42] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[05:42] <bruenig> !ntfs-3g | ChikbuKai
[05:42] <ubotu> ChikbuKai: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[05:42] <foxx> thanks ubotu
[05:42] <MnemonicNeko> if that dont work, what? just try reburning the cd?
[05:42] <linos> Jordan_U:  and now I cannot uninstall it from the command prompt.  why not?  any idea
[05:42] <cable> !ntfs | ChikbuKai
[05:42] <ubotu> ChikbuKai: please see above
[05:42] <NemesisD> lancer, im reading on google that you aren't supposed to mount tape drives because they are character devices and youre supposed to use tar/mt directly
[05:42] <ziroday> ChikbuKai: ntfs read + write support is brilliant
[05:42] <bruenig> !thanks | foxx
[05:42] <dooped> bruenig: to much typ in here i will look thank you very much
[05:42] <ubotu> foxx: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[05:42] <cable> ChikbuKai, NTFS is easy to use in Ubuntu 7.04
[05:42] <Flannel> MnemonicNeko: check the md5 of the ISO, burn at 4x.
[05:42] <ChikbuKai> ok, great
[05:42] <MISTERTibbs> chikbukai, be very careful with dual boot
[05:42] <MnemonicNeko> hehe
[05:42] <MnemonicNeko> thanks
[05:43] <MnemonicNeko> il try that right now
[05:43] <lancer> NemesisD, okay - you may be right there - I might have given you a red herring
[05:43] <Flannel> MnemonicNeko: But, If it doesn't boot at all, make sure you have lots of files on the CD, not jsut the iso, since then you burnt it wrong
[05:43] <cable> bruenig, oh, the unjustness. I don't get thanked for helping dooped :(
[05:43] <bruenig> cable, take a look at the command
[05:43] <Jordan_U> linos, Apt-get can only remove programs that were added through apt / dpkg, that is one reason why you should try not to install things manually
[05:43] <NemesisD> lancer, i still appreciate the attempt, i think my next step is a retension
[05:43] <ChikbuKai> will the Ubuntu installer install a boot manager (grub i guess) or should i use another?
[05:43] <MnemonicNeko> what would be the best prog to do so? i used archive manager
[05:43] <dooped> cable: I am sorry i got lost in the text
[05:43] <cable> dooped, I'm sure.
[05:43] <Azhi_Ubuntu> ok... if you want to flame me, FINE, do it
[05:43] <ziroday> ChikbuKai: use grub
[05:43] <lancer> NemesisD, I haven't used tape before - what happens when you type ls /dev/st0 ?
[05:43] <dooped> cable: thank you
[05:43] <Azhi_Ubuntu> but, i can't add tilda to the sessions menu
[05:44] <Jordan_U> ChikbuKai, GRUB will be installed
[05:44] <Azhi_Ubuntu> i do EXACTLY this: Click on System->Preferences->Sessions
[05:44] <bruenig> ChikbuKai, yeah it installs it by default and automatically detects your windows installation and sets it up so that you can pick which one at boot
[05:44] <NemesisD> lancer, the guy im helping on the phone is doing something right now, i have a feeling it doesn't work though, ill ask him though
[05:44] <ChikbuKai> will ubuntu and grub offer to repartion my drive for me, or should i partition with a partition manager first?
[05:44] <Azhi_Ubuntu> Startup Items->Add
[05:44] <linos> Jordan_U:  is there anyway to remove this ./j2re-1_4_2_13-linux-i586.bin install?
[05:44] <cables> ChikbuKai, Ubuntu will offer to partition for you.
[05:44] <MISTERTibbs> chik I would partition myself
[05:44] <ziroday> ChikbuKai: an peartitionre is in on the live cd
[05:44] <Azhi_Ubuntu> type /usr/bin/tilda
[05:44] <lancer> NemesisD, most things in /dev need to be mounted but then again - that's why you've found a page to point out an exception
[05:44] <bruenig> ChikbuKai, it will give you the option to automatically resize it for dual boot, partition the whole drive, or manually partition in the installer
[05:44] <Flannel> linos: not easily, No.
[05:45] <Azhi_Ubuntu> accept->Close
[05:45] <Azhi_Ubuntu> what am i missing?
[05:45] <Flannel> !enter | Azhi_Ubuntu
[05:45] <ubotu> Azhi_Ubuntu: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[05:45] <cables> ChikbuKai, it also includes a partitioner in the installer. If it doesn't give you the option to resize, just hit manual mode and you can resize it manually.
[05:45] <Azhi_Ubuntu> ok
[05:45] <NemesisD> lancer, yeah everyone im talking to says they swore off tape drives some time in the 80s :P
[05:45] <ChikbuKai> i have 40 gb free so i have room, will this is nondestructive to my exsisting data i assume
[05:45] <MISTERTibbs> i'm dual with XP.  I got error 17 three times and had to reinstall xp.  PITA
[05:45] <Jordan_U> NemesisD, They are still the best way to do large incremental backups
[05:45] <cables> MISTERTibbs, that's very abnormal.
[05:45] <bruenig> ChikbuKai, yeah, make sure you tell it to use the free partition and you will be fine
[05:46] <linos> Flannel:  oh no.  damn I screwed up pretty bad then
[05:46] <Azhi_Ubuntu> ok... if you want to flame me, FINE, do it but, i can't add tilda to the sessions menu.
[05:46] <Azhi_Ubuntu> i do EXACTLY this: Click on System->Preferences->Sessions, Startup Items->Add, type /usr/bin/tilda, accept->Close. what am i missing?
[05:46] <MISTERTibbs> finally figured it out.  I placed a small partition at the beginning of the disk, 2nd partition for xp, 3rd for ubuntu.  no problems after that
[05:46] <Azhi_Ubuntu> when i reopen Sessions tilda is missing... :(
[05:46] <NemesisD> Jordan_U, or so i hear. From all the trouble Ive had with this one I am skeptical ;)
[05:46] <Flannel> linos: only things that you install through package management can be removed via package management.
[05:46] <ChikbuKai> there is a dell partition for diagnostic software, is it gonna be a sore thumb?
[05:47] <ziroday> ChikbuKai: nol eave it alone it will be fine
[05:47] <bruenig> Azhi_Ubuntu, that happens sometimes, seen a few people in here with the same issue, that the changes don't remain, never figured out what the problem was, I would think off the top of my head that it is a permissions issue, perhaps whatever file it writes to has been made ro or even owned by root
[05:47] <MISTERTibbs> shouldne't be an issu
[05:47] <cables> ChikbuKai, it shouldn't. I left that alone and it's fine
[05:47] <ChikbuKai> k, im glad the ntfs read write is solid :) last i had read it was all kinda beta
[05:47] <cables> ChikbuKai, it's fairly solid now
[05:48] <MISTERTibbs> chik, defrag before u install ubuntu!
[05:48] <ChikbuKai> k
[05:48] <MISTERTibbs> ???

[05:56] <ChikbuKai> how much space should i give ubuntu anyone?
[05:56] <Jordan_U> ziroday, it can
[05:56] <nix> ChikbuKai: about 2 GB would be comfortable
[05:56] <gabbarinho> hmm, ubuntu didn't like that
[05:56] <ziroday> Jordan_U: my bad then
[05:56] <Jordan_U> ChikbuKai, At least 5 GIG I would say
[05:57] <Neily> ok tnx!
[05:57] <EADG__> ChikbuKai: how much space do you have?
[05:57] <gabbarinho> I don't even have proper display drivers installed yet - maybe that's why
[05:57] <Jordan_U> gabbarinho, What kind of card do you have ( nvidia / ati ) ?
[05:57] <bruenig> nautilus cd writer absolutely can write .iso
[05:57] <gabbarinho> nvidia - an old one (GeForce 2 Pro)
[05:57] <ChikbuKai> 120gb drive 42 free
[05:57] <Azhi_Ubuntu> hmm
[05:57] <gabbarinho> I grabbed the drivers, but er....
[05:57] <ziroday> gabbarinho: try envy
[05:57] <Azhi_Ubuntu> this is weird
[05:57] <gabbarinho> you know. exit x and type in console codes
[05:57] <ChikbuKai> 20gb maybe?
[05:58] <bruenig> Neily, do grep cdrom /etc/fstab
[05:58] <nix> ChikbuKai: very nice
[05:58] <gabbarinho> complete gibberish to me, I'm afraid
[05:58] <Jordan_U> gabbarinho, Try system -> administration -> Restricted driver manager
[05:58] <Azhi_Ubuntu> apt-get update shouts an error tellimg me to run apt-get update
[05:58] <jarrod> where would i find the drivers for a external hard drive ? it did not  recognize the drive when i plugged it in.
[05:58] <EADG__> ChikbuKai: 20gb is good. 2x your ram for the swap.
[05:58] <ziroday> gabbarinho: the drivers are a pain to install manaually use envy
[05:58] <spiderman_> hi there, im getting this error at startup " there was an error at starting gnome setting deamon " in ubuntu 7.0.4 , can any one suggest me what to do ?

[05:58] <bruenig> jarrod, after you plug the drive in, wait 5-10 seconds and do dmesg
[05:58] <gabbarinho> huh, my monitor just flickered
[05:58] <ChikbuKai> does the linux file sys outperform ntfs or is it equivalent?
[05:59] <dr_willis> ChikbuKai,  i hear it does.

[05:59] <gabbarinho> oh, my card appears in the driver thingy

[05:59] <royel> where is grub.conf located in fiest?
[05:59] <nix> ChikbuKai: kinda' equivalent
[05:59] <royel> fiesty*
[05:59] <bruenig> royel, /boot/grub/menu.list
[05:59] <bruenig> royel, /boot/grub/menu.lst*
[05:59] <Jordan_U> royel, /boot/grub/menu.lst
[05:59] <gabbarinho> "because software is proprietary, it cannot easily be changed to fix future problems"
[05:59] <royel> bruenig: doh, ty :)
[06:00] <BigMac_> So I now have php5 installed, is there a certain directory I have to put all my php stuff into like in windows 'htdocs'?
[06:00] <gabbarinho> I am amazed that my wireless adapter works without any work on my part
[06:00] <ShadowRelic> I'm planning on installing Ubuntu tomorrow, what are the chances of me having driver troubles?  And are there any preventative messures I can take to avoid them?
[06:00] <bruenig> ShadowRelic, what hardware
[06:00] <ziroday> ShadowRelic: what hardware?
[06:00] <nix> ShadowRelic: you can try the live cd to check hw compatibility
[06:00] <ShadowRelic> I have a Gateway M285 tablet
[06:01] <gabbarinho> enabled the default drivers... hope this works :)
[06:01] <bruenig> Shadowpillar, nix makes a good point, when you put the disc in, it loads a live cd and you don't have to install it
[06:01] <bruenig> ShadowRelic, ^
[06:01] <bruenig> tablet seems iffy to me
[06:01] <gabbarinho> I am amazed how well this runs on only 256mb of RAM
[06:01] <godtvisken> Does anyone know about jokosher? i get the error "Device 'hw:0' is busy" when I try to record.. I have nothing to my knowledge open that would affect this
[06:01] <ShadowRelic> awesome
[06:01] <Azhi_Ubuntu> i'm getting an error about a signature
[06:01] <bruenig> Azhi_Ubuntu, did you use automatix?
[06:02] <gabbarinho> well, guess i better reboot - thanks, guys
[06:02] <ChikbuKai> so with NTFS 3G i can read my ntfs files, what about in winxp reading linux file system?
[06:02] <bruenig> ChikbuKai, fs-driver.org
[06:02] <ChikbuKai> k
[06:02] <ziroday> ChikbuKai: yeah i think you can google it
[06:02] <Azhi_Ubuntu> erm... yeah
[06:02] <Azhi_Ubuntu> what it a mistake?
[06:02] <ShadowRelic> im planning on putting my current version of windows (tablet editon) into a VM and using it from Ubuntu, will the tablet features continue to work?
[06:02] <deegee> ShadowRelic: If you have Windows XP installed you can download Wubi and insatll Fiesty ontop of Windows
[06:02] <bruenig> !automatix | Azhi_Ubuntu no support here
[06:02] <ubotu> Azhi_Ubuntu no support here: Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[06:02] <dedi> does anyone know how i can activate the 1600dpi of my razer diamondback? (currently i have a negative mouseaccel and that sucks :)
[06:03] <godtvisken> !WorksForMe
[06:03] <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.
[06:03] <linas__> wow this is one busy channel
[06:03] <Jordan_U> Shadowpillar, They should, although I am not sure about pressure sensitivity
[06:03] <Azhi_Ubuntu> so, basically: I'm screwed
[06:03] <bruenig> ShadowRelic, tablet seems very iffy to me, virtual machine even more so
[06:03] <ShadowRelic> deegee: would that be to dual boot?
[06:03] <Madpilot> linas__, this is pretty standard for #ubuntu
[06:04] <cold> Does anyone know how I can transfer my entire profile (all of my settings) for Firefox from Windows to Ubuntu? I've got access to my entire Windows profile folder for it, but I have no idea where or what to do with it in Ubuntu.
[06:04] <bruenig> Azhi_Ubuntu, install fresh copy and don't use automatix or try to chase down the problem yourself, we don't support automatix issues
 it says no dock devices found
[06:04] <deegee> ShadowRelic: Yes. But only your windows partition The linux is a virtaul drive on NTFS
[06:04] <bruenig> cold, get the profile, move it to /home/username/.mozilla
[06:04] <bruenig> cold, start firefox
[06:04] <Azhi_Ubuntu> but the apt-get is an automatix issue?
[06:04] <deegee> ShadowRelic:I am running now on my Toshiba Tecra laptop
[06:04] <cold> Alright, I'll try putting it there
[06:04] <ShadowRelic> if i get everything working with the live CD, will it be the exact same when i actually install it on my harddrive?
[06:04] <brodi> yes
[06:04] <bruenig> Azhi_Ubuntu, likely, most of what automatix does is apt-get software
[06:05] <deegee> ShadowRelic: It should
[06:05] <linas__> Madpilot, this is mad. I wanted to talk about a carzy problem on my brand new dell/ubuntu box ... but I can't hear myself think
[06:05] <Madpilot> Azhi_Ubuntu, you could try replacing your sources.list with a non-automatix-mangled one, see if this goes
[06:05] <EADG__> ShadowRelic: .... and faster :)
[06:05] <ChikbuKai> ok, so ntfs - no problem, disk space - no problem - linuxfilesys to xp - no problem - expect performace boost - realy no problem....im a happy camper
[06:05] <bruenig> cold, by profile do you mean the randomly named thing or the mozilla/firefox/randomly named thing
[06:05] <cold> Whichever one I need, I've got my windows drive mounted :)
[06:06] <bruenig> cold, move the entire mozilla volder
[06:06] <bruenig> folder*
[06:06] <Azhi_Ubuntu> where can i get a non-mangled one?
[06:06] <Madpilot> linas__, there are side channels that're quieter - the national or regional Ubuntu team channels, for example
[06:06] <Azhi_Ubuntu> on ubuntu's site?
[06:06] <ShadowRelic> can back up my current windows configuration by transfering every file onto an external harddrive?
[06:06] <Chikubu> bruenig - when you log off and back on fast some irc servers keep you logged on using old nickname, some servers have a command to kill your ghost so u can get your nickname back
[06:06] <tomex> I installed mp3gain from the terminal, but I don't see it in the menu. where is it?
[06:06] <Madpilot> Azhi_Ubuntu, one second
[06:06] <bruenig> Azhi_Ubuntu, fresh install, you are likely getting gpg errors with the extra automatix repos
[06:06] <ziroday> linas__: waht exactly is wrong?
[06:07] <r00tintheb0x__> hmm
[06:07] <r00tintheb0x__> heh
[06:07] <Madpilot> Azhi_Ubuntu, http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[06:07] <cold> erm, how can I move it with the terminal or something? I'm unable to see the .mozilla folder in /home/user, guessing it's hidden..
[06:07] <deegee> ShadowRelic: I went gonzo and no backup of anything but you should.
[06:07] <r00tintheb0x__> Anyone need help on some advanced problems, let me know.
[06:07] <linas__> Madpilot, perhaps a linux-firefox-flash channel? yesterday, my brand new flsh pluginworked. Today, firefox goes grey when I go to youtube.
[06:07] <r00tintheb0x__> I like the hard ones.
[06:07] <bruenig> Chikubu, yeah you should be able to, that command is run from the irc client I would assume right?
[06:07] <ziroday> cold: in natilius press ctrl+h too see hidden files
[06:07] <Nighteye> sup
[06:07] <cold> alright, thanks
[06:07] <Azhi_Ubuntu> wow... ATI on Dapper seems like a REAL PITA
[06:07] <Madpilot> linas__, try reinstalling Flash?
[06:07] <Chikubu> yeah i couldnt remmber the command, but doesnt matter the ghost finaly died
[06:08] <skimonsta> hey all
[06:08] <Tiekyl> Hello
[06:08] <Jordan_U> Azhi_Dahaka, ATI in general is a PTA in linux
[06:08] <ShadowRelic> would copying the C: drive work?  do OS files need to be in a certain spot on the hard disk?
[06:08] <r00tintheb0x> Alright then, all better
[06:08] <r00tintheb0x> :D
[06:08] <ziroday> r00tintheb0x: i get random kernel panics with my at76c wireless drivers?
[06:08] <Frogzoo> Azhi_Ubuntu: depends which card really - 9600 was no hassle
[06:08] <linas__> Madpilot .. I suppose ... thanks
[06:08] <nix> !hi | skimonsta
[06:08] <ubotu> skimonsta: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[06:08] <EADG__> r00tintheb0x__: how do i set up duel consecutive consoles on duel monitors?
[06:08] <r00tintheb0x> ziroday, what's the dump look like?
[06:08] <Nighteye> not sure
[06:08] <Azhi_Ubuntu> the install instructions are HUGE
[06:08] <iswm> I'm having a weird wireless issue.. I'm able to connect to the network, but I can't get anything to resolve. 'host google.com' just returns ";; connection timed out; no servers could be reached" Anyone have an idea what could be going on?
[06:08] <Azhi_Ubuntu> compared to Feisty
[06:08] <r00tintheb0x> EADG__, elaborate, i dont know what you mean.
[06:08] <ziroday> r00tintheb0x: err messy lol
[06:08] <r00tintheb0x> EADG__, you mean dual video cards?
[06:08] <r00tintheb0x> ziroday, where'd you get the drivers?
[06:09] <r00tintheb0x> kernel?
[06:09] <r00tintheb0x> or compiled them?
[06:09] <skimonsta> how would I tell ubuntu to activate my network interfaces at startup but to not assign ip address's either statically or dynamically?
[06:09] <buck> hi \o/
[06:09] <ziroday> r00tintheb0x: came with fiesty
[06:09] <Madpilot> Azhi_Ubuntu, yeah, ATI support in Dapper & Edgy was a pita. Feisty is much easier...
[06:09] <MiMiC> any1 know how to find out which tty* name is the tablet for my PC?
[06:09] <r00tintheb0x> ziroday, what kernel version?
[06:09] <Madpilot> ubotu, enter | r00tintheb0x
[06:09] <ubotu> r00tintheb0x: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[06:09] <Frogzoo> skimonsta: /etc/network/interfaces
[06:09] <r00tintheb0x> sorry Madpilot i'll work on that, i know im bad about it.
[06:09] <ziroday> r00tintheb0x: latest from ubuntu
[06:09] <EADG__> r00tintheb0x: single card, duel outputs. I want to stay in cli but have tty1 on monitor 1 and a seprate login, tty2 on the other monitor.
[06:09] <r00tintheb0x> I get passionate about helping people out.
[06:09] <deegee> ShadowRelic: You should do a full backup and you should Ghost your system. That way you have a recovery method if all goes wrong. Also since you have a tablet research further and make sure you feel comfortablr. That is why LIVE CD and wubi was suggested to you.
[06:10] <r00tintheb0x> ziroday, have you tried downgrading kernels for testing?
[06:10] <buck> is it possible to get Terminal to remember my shells, so I don't have to reopen them all when I start it up again?
[06:10] <ziroday> r00tintheb0x: still have the same issues
[06:10] <r00tintheb0x> EADG__, what is the model of your video card?
[06:10] <Chikubu> what kinda open source linux games are out there? links?
[06:10] <red_> i need some ati drivers to get a better display output
[06:10] <MiMiC> any1 know how to find out which tty* name is the tablet for my PC?
[06:10] <r00tintheb0x> ziroday, what exact kernel version?
[06:10] <EADG__> r00tintheb0x: fx5200 nvidea
[06:10] <ShadowRelic> deegee: is there a free alternative to nortan ghost?
[06:10] <Azhi_Ubuntu> i overwrite /etc/apt/sources.list with the one of source-o-matic?
[06:10] <skimonsta> Frogzoo: I mean what are the specifics...do I say address 0.0.0.0...
[06:10] <ziroday> Chikubu: what type of game?
[06:10] <skimonsta> or is there another command?
[06:10] <ziroday> r00tintheb0x: gimme a min
[06:10] <termitor> hello all,
[06:10] <Jordan_U> red_, System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager
[06:11] <r00tintheb0x> ok ziroday
[06:11] <Tiekyl> Chikibu: Have you checked the Linuxappfinder?
[06:11] <Chikubu> im a real time strategy - role player - 3rd person shooter type
[06:11] <termitor> so, i'm want testing gnustep , what packages it cool for use with gnustep ?
[06:11] <deegee> ShadowRelic: Try the UltimateBootCD resource
[06:11] <r00tintheb0x> EADG__, this may help: fx5200 nvidea
[06:11] <Chikubu> no, im a a greenie (sounds better than linux newbie), but ill look now
[06:11] <ShadowRelic> deegee: thanks
[06:11] <justinb> Shadow: ghost for linux http://freshmeat.net/projects/g4l/
[06:11] <r00tintheb0x> let me finish w/ ziroday and i'll help you out some more.
[06:12] <ziroday> r00tintheb0x: kernel 2.6.20-16-generic
[06:12] <ziroday> r00tintheb0x: thanks
[06:12] <deegee> ShadowRelic:NoProb I just hope I helped
[06:12] <dedi> does anyone know how i can activate the 1600dpi of my razer diamondback? (currently i have a negative mouseaccel and that sucks :)
[06:12] <grndslm> mneptok:  i don't get what's so special about bittornado...
[06:12] <r00tintheb0x> ziroday, whats the exact make/model of your wifi card?
[06:12] <red_> i dont have that
[06:12] <red_> im running 6.10
[06:13] <ziroday> r00tintheb0x: Linksys WUSB11 v2.8
[06:13] <Azhi_Ubuntu> Yeah!!! IT WORKED!!!
[06:13] <red_> 7.04 is having problems with ati video cards is what ive been told
[06:13] <Azhi_Ubuntu> IT'S ALIVE!!!!
[06:13] <termitor> so , what DE or WM use with GnuStep?
[06:13] <cold> christ, it hasn't even taken me a full day to fall in love with multiple desktops
[06:13] <Tiekyl> Does anyone know if its possible to install themes on ubuntu with the default window manager? I've heard its not, metacity doesn't like them
[06:13] <qman> red_: 7.04 runs great on my laptop, ATi radeon xpress 200M
[06:13] <Azhi_Ubuntu> WAIT!!!
[06:13] <Azhi_Ubuntu> qman: how did you make it SOUND?
[06:13] <ziroday> qman: you dot 3d? like beryl?
[06:13] <r00tintheb0x> ziroday, feisty i take it?
[06:13] <Stettin|work|ESB> I think specificaly x800 chipsets are causing problems
[06:13] <red_> ive got an ati radeon 1300 and it wont load X
[06:13] <qman> yes, I have hardware acceleration
[06:13] <ziroday> r00tintheb0x: yep
[06:14] <qman> with the ati package in the rops
[06:14] <gabbarinho> darn, turning on effects hung up my system
[06:14] <qman> repos*
[06:14] <ziroday> r00tintheb0x: sorry i gotta go lunch :( really sorry
[06:14] <Azhi_Ubuntu> i CRIED BLOOD to make my audio card sound
[06:14] <kski> has anyone had issues with their laptop saying it's running on ac power all the time with the new 2.6.20-16 kernel on 7.04?
[06:14] <r00tintheb0x> ok thats ok.
[06:14] <gabbarinho> I guess I won't get to see this beryl thing
[06:14] <qman> my sound worked on the live CD, no extra setup
[06:14] <dedi> i have a x800 and it runs well, just beryl only runs with xgl and there you cant have dual head
[06:14] <red_> but i need to get my resolution back
[06:14] <r00tintheb0x> EADG__ you have 2 VGA outs?
[06:14] <qman> I've also used the VGA out on my laptop, it works
[06:15] <EADG__> r00tintheb0x: yes
[06:15] <Azhi_Ubuntu> weird... theres no sound for me on either the livecd or the local install
[06:15] <red_> where can i get the drivers for this
[06:15] <Azhi_Ubuntu> i had to fall back to dapper for sound
[06:15] <red_> for kubuntu they were easy to get
[06:15] <Azhi_Ubuntu> the funny hing was that feisty was completely convinced that it was outputting sound fine... just there wasn't any sound coming out of the speakers
[06:15] <qman> red:_ just to get it functional, you should use the driver "ati", but the proprietary driver (for hardware acceleration) is "fglrx"
[06:16] <r00tintheb0x> Azhi_Dahaka, what kind of computer do you have? Make and Model please.
[06:16] <r00tintheb0x> EADG__, you get my private message?
[06:16] <r00tintheb0x> hi netham45
[06:16] <netham45> hi r00tintheb0x
[06:16] <Azhi_Ubuntu> it's a build one... the mb card is a MSIRS482M4
[06:16] <netham45> 2 questions
[06:16] <lancer> I'm getting this error happening a lot: What is it? lancer-desktop kernel: [19479.197604]  EDAC MC0: UE page 0x2c, offset 0x0, grain 4096, row 0, labels "": i82860 UE
[06:16] <r00tintheb0x> Sure netham45
[06:16] <Jordan_U> red_, I am running Feisty fine with my ATI card, I definitely recommend upgrading
[06:16] <r00tintheb0x> whats up
[06:16] <EADG__> r00tintheb0x: no. Send pm to EADG pls.
[06:16] <red_> hmm
[06:16] <red_> i couldnt even get it to boot off of the cd
[06:16] <netham45> 1) anyone know how hard it is to set up 5 monitors on Ubuntu?
[06:17] <netham45> 2) anyone know the inital install size?
[06:17] <EADG> hi
[06:17] <red_> im using a dell laptop with ati radeon 1300 video card and it will not load X for me
[06:17] <red_> tried in ubuntu, and kubuntu
[06:17] <qman> does anyone here have an Nvidia GeForce 8600GTS? I'm thinking about buying one, and I'd like to know if it works well under Ubuntu
[06:17] <red_> same problem
[06:17] <red_> thats why I have to use 6.10
[06:17] <r00tintheb0x> netham45, no and no
[06:17] <gabbarinho> how do I "exit X"?
[06:17] <r00tintheb0x> i know it can be done though netham45
[06:17] <netham45> x.x
[06:17] <netham45> ok
[06:17] <Azhi_Ubuntu> r00tintheb0x, i saw a LOT of bug reports with the same issue: Audio seems to play, only that there's nothing coming out of the speakers
[06:17] <gabbarinho> I am not even sure what that means - I think X is the graphical interface
[06:17] <netham45> gabbarinho, try ctrl+alt+F1
[06:18] <netham45> yes it is
[06:18] <demo_N> How do i open a bin/cue file in ubuntu?
[06:18] <qman> gabbarinho: several ways. to stop X altogether, "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop"
[06:18] <gabbarinho> so... if I entered that command, I'd have a console?
[06:18] <Tiekyl> And remember...ctrl-alt-f7 to get back
[06:18] <Azhi_Ubuntu> the audio chipset is SB450... ATI HDA SB
[06:18] <r00tintheb0x> Azhi_Dahaka, join #guruhelp if you'd like me to resolve the issue.
[06:18] <gabbarinho> ah, thanks
[06:18] <r00tintheb0x> i have a hard time seeing
[06:18] <qman> gabbarinho: to restart it, "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart", or press CTRL+ALT+Backspace
[06:18] <r00tintheb0x> its hard for me to keep up w/all this text
[06:18] <netham45> NOONE EVER PRESS ALT+PRINT SCREEN+B!!!
[06:18] <netham45> it panics the kernel into a reboot
[06:18] <netham45> :)
[06:18] <gabbarinho> better write those down :)
[06:19] <netham45> 1 more question
[06:19] <netham45> how hard is it to resize an NTFS partition???
[06:19] <Tiekyl> what? ..buttons that I'm not supposed to push? o.O
[06:19] <netham45> Tiekyl, try pressing them
[06:19] <qman> netham45, that depends on who you ask, how fragmented your partition is, and how full it is
[06:19] <netham45> all at the same time
[06:19] <netham45> well
[06:19] <netham45> better question: can I resize an NTFS partition?
[06:20] <qman> netham45, I've generally been very successful doing it, just make sure you defrag and that you have at least 5GB of free space
[06:20] <gilo1> is there a package for BASE (a front end for snort) for ubuntu?
[06:20] <gabbarinho> the nvidia readme says I should "exit X" - I assume that means I should enter the sudo command to turn it off altogether
[06:20] <netham45> I have 25gb free now
[06:20] <red_> yes, X is the graphical interface
[06:20] <netham45> lololololololololololololol
[06:20] <gabbarinho> how would I navigate to the desktop where the driver file is stored?
[06:20] <netham45> Tiekyl pressed the buttons I told him not to.
[06:21] <gabbarinho> that wasn't too clever of him!
[06:21] <qman> gabbarinho, yes, that's what it means...you should switch to a terminal, CTRL+ALT+F1, and stop X, then run the install script
[06:21] <Jordan_U> gabbarinho, Don't install the nvidia drivers from nvidia.com
[06:21] <netham45> the buttons I said cause a kernel panic
[06:21] <clever[rev] > gabbarinho: what?
[06:21] <netham45> and a reboot
[06:21] <qman> gabbarinho, however, you should try the ubuntu package first
[06:21] <gabbarinho> oh. er.
[06:21] <gabbarinho> I did
[06:21] <qman> gabbarinho, sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[06:21] <m_m_m> When I choose "Suspend" from the Quit box, my desktop computer just shuts off completely. When I choose "Hibernate", it seems to hibernate but then reboots normally. Or it freezes up on a black screen.
[06:21] <gabbarinho> er, I thought it was not exactly full featured
[06:22] <qman> gabbarinho, then run nvidia-xconfig (I think?) and restart the X server
[06:22] <gabbarinho> the desktop effects did not turn on, for example (it crashed)
[06:22] <qman> after that, you should have hardware acceleration
[06:22] <katie> Yeah, you really shouldnt press ctrl-print screen-b... :(
[06:22] <netham45> lol
[06:22] <netham45> it's alt+print screen+b
[06:22] <netham45> if a defrag crashed, how f**ked would I be?
[06:23] <katie> Er..that. My bad. Now I feel even more stupid...
[06:23] <qman> netham45, boot windows, and let it run chkdsk, then defrag, then shut down properly
[06:23] <netham45> katie, are you tiekyl?
[06:23] <gabbarinho> it's a little frustrating to learn everything anew
[06:23] <netham45> qman, I am running a defrag
[06:23] <netham45> (Im in windows
[06:23] <katie> Yes
[06:23] <netham45> ok
[06:23] <gabbarinho> but compared to linux ten years ago, it seems quite user-friendly
[06:23] <netham45> hey, I warned you. :)
[06:24] <katie> Its like telling someone not to push a bean up their nose...
[06:24] <netham45> lol
[06:24] <gabbarinho> is there any specific reason the nvidia drivers are not recommended?
[06:24] <qman> netham45, if the system is unable to defrag itself, you're probably going to have trouble
[06:24] <wweasel> I have a very odd problem which I can't diagnose.  Since I upgraded to feisty, and therefore to the feisty version of network-manager, most of the time I connect to my wireless network it requires multiple tries.  Once I connect, it's completely stable.  My edgy laptop still connects on the first try. Strange...ideas?
[06:24] <netham45> Ok
[06:24] <qman> netham45, you may want to try booting a windows PE CD or NTFS DOS, and defrag from there
[06:24] <Bicchi> How do I increase the mouse cursor size without having to install a new theme?
[06:24] <netham45> qman: I am booted into my install of XP
[06:25] <Jordan_U> gabbarinho, Since they are not managed by synaptic they won't get updated when you get a kernel update, instead they will just break
[06:25] <netham45> I don't even have Ubuntu installed yet
[06:25] <Jordan_U> gabbarinho, It's also much harder to install them
[06:25] <gabbarinho> ah... well, unfortunately synaptic tells me that the drivers will not be supported anyway - it's a "legacy" driver
[06:25] <zeeeee> i'm trying out the quake 4 linux demo on ubuntu 6.06 lts, but while the video is running very smoothly, the game's response to my input is super-laggy...can anybody help?
[06:25] <katie> Bicchi: I *think* you can change it by going into the mouse options
[06:25] <Khrajin_> zeeeee: Could be too intense for your hardware.
[06:25] <qman> netham45, yes, but the system may have a lot of fragmented files it can't access while it's running. A windows PE CD or NTFS DOS would have a better chance at it, since none of the files on the drive would be open
[06:26] <Bicchi> katie: but the bigger ones are red. i just want a plain white bigger icon.
[06:26] <m_m_m> Anyone know how to get hibernate & suspend to work?
[06:26] <gabbarinho> I thought the synaptic drivers weren't working correctly because I couldn't change my screen resolution, and also because the desktop effects did not turn on, but perhaps that isn't the case
[06:26] <r00tintheb0x> hu mneumonic
[06:26] <netham45> qman, the files that are fragmented are some DVD's I copied to my HD.
[06:26] <qman> netham45, I also suggest running chkdsk if you're unable to defrag, you may have some errors
[06:26] <Frogzoo> zeeeee: use the budgetdedicated wine repo
[06:26] <wrath__> 0
[06:26] <netham45> Windows has been on this PC for 2 weeks, it better not be that fragmented.
[06:26] <Jordan_U> gabbarinho, Did you use Restricted Driver Manager or just install the package with synaptic?
[06:26] <dedi> i guess cat /proc/* | grep whatever wasnt a good idea :)
[06:26] <zeeeee> Khrajin_: i doubt it, i'm on a very new machine, and also the video as i said runs super smoothly
[06:26] <gabbarinho> and man, it's absolutely BLINDING to use a CRT after years of LCD use
[06:26] <katie> Bicchi: If you scroll down all the way, and all the ones are still red, you should be able to just install new cursors, not neccissarily a new theme.
[06:27] <netham45> I have 5 CRT's on my desk.
[06:27] <zeeeee> Frogzoo: i'll have to look that up, don't know what it is...
[06:27] <netham45> http://home.comcast.net/~netham45/monitors.jpeg
[06:27] <qman> netham45, then perhaps it's just a software error, maybe rebooting will fix it?
[06:27] <Khrajin_> zeeeee: Um, are you running it thru wine?
[06:27] <BigMac_> Is there anything I need besides the PHP5 package (includes apache) to get the mailto( function working in my php sites?
[06:27] <deegee> m_m_m: I have same issue with 7.04. My prob is my swap partition is too small
[06:27] <gabbarinho> I believe I used the synaptic as somebody suggested here
[06:27] <zeeeee> Frogzoo: i don't see what wine has to do with it though
[06:27] <Frogzoo> !wine | zeeeee
[06:27] <ubotu> zeeeee: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[06:27] <zeeeee> Khrajin_: no
[06:27] <r00tintheb0x> Anyone got any "hard" problems they want to throw @ me, please feel free to do so.
[06:27] <Frogzoo> zeeeee: oh, it's not a wine app? ok, nvm
[06:27] <Khrajin_> zeeeee: Running it native?
[06:27] <gabbarinho> you must have a big desk!
[06:27] <zeeeee> Frogzoo: nope
[06:27] <netham45> qman, it is going fine, I was wondering what would happen if it failed. sorry.
[06:27] <zeeeee> Khrajin_: yeap
[06:28] <Khrajin_> r00tintheb0x: Maybe look into zeeeee's prob?
[06:28] <zeeeee> Frogzoo: you can get quake 4 linux demo from the id site
[06:28] <Frogzoo> zeeeee: in that case, probably best to upgrade to feisty for latest libs
[06:28] <gilo1> gabbarinho, I fixed all of my nvidia problems at work and home today by editing the xorg.conf file and adding the horizontal and vertial syncs under the monitor section.  It allowed me to go to 1680x1050
[06:28] <r00tintheb0x> zeeeee... whats goin on.
[06:28] <r00tintheb0x> Summarize for me.
[06:28] <Jordan_U> gabbarinho, Then the reason it wasn't working was probably just that when you install from synaptic in installs the drivers but doesn't configure X to use them
[06:28] <zeeeee> r00tintheb0x: i'm trying out the quake 4 linux demo on ubuntu 6.06 lts, but while the video is running very smoothly, the game's response to my input is super-laggy.
[06:28] <gabbarinho> er... erm... that sounds great, except I have no idea what you are talking about :)
[06:28] <fenixnegro> f-16 mrf
[06:28] <lockd> what's the way to reset hostname if I changed it in /etc/hostname?
[06:28] <gabbarinho> ah, I see
[06:28] <netham45> is there a multi-head display configuration(like the display applet in Windows) in Ubuntu?
[06:28] <lockd> i got locked out from opening any more x terminals and i'm scared to reboot
[06:29] <Jordan_U> gabbarinho, If you use the restricted driver manager you just click "enable" and it works :)
[06:29] <netham45> or available at all?
[06:29] <qman> netham45, yes, all you have to do is configure the xorg.conf file
[06:29] <r00tintheb0x> zeeeee, what do you have for your mouse and keyboard?
[06:29] <r00tintheb0x> IMPS/2?
[06:29] <dr_willis> netham45, for nvidia cards theres a command line tool. But you cant reconfigure the stuff on the fly as fare as i know
[06:29] <r00tintheb0x> are you using /dev/psaux or /dev/mouse in xorg.conf?
[06:29] <zeeeee> r00tintheb0x: usb, usb
[06:29] <dfgas> anyone use a x10 tv remote?
[06:29] <Bicchi> katie: do i install them with synaptic or download the ones in gnome-look.org
[06:29] <qman> netham45, systems have been set up such that there were 6 independent heads to one machine, 6 monitors, 6 keyboards, 6 mice, 6 X sessions
[06:29] <r00tintheb0x> ok zeeeee
[06:29] <m_m_m> deegee: is a gig big enough? that's about how big my swap partition is.
[06:29] <gabbarinho> er, wait a minute, the restricted drivers thing *is* what I used
[06:30] <anhvuitinhvt2008> eee
[06:30] <anhvuitinhvt2008> ban oi
[06:30] <anhvuitinhvt2008> xin key nhu the nao`
[06:30] <gabbarinho> it says here, "nvidia accelerated graphics driver (legacy)" - in use
[06:30] <katie> Bicchi: I believe you download the ones in gnome-look.org . I'm not much help on this honestly, I joined the chat for help on installing themes myself...
[06:30] <Khrajin_> qman: How do yo udo that?
[06:30] <gabbarinho> bah. i feel like a n00b. which i suppose i am
[06:30] <m_m_m> r00tintheb0x: suspend and hibernate do not work for me.
[06:30] <qman> gabbarinho, then the driver is installed and running, you should have hardware acceleration
[06:30] <Jordan_U> gabbarinho, Your card is too old for Desktop Effects ( the legacy driver does not support them )
[06:30] <deegee> m_m_m: The docs I read online is the swap should match your installed memory. My swap is 250meg and memory is 1 gig. There could be other issues
[06:30] <gabbarinho> ah, I see
[06:31] <Jordan_U> gabbarinho, But you should have 3D acceleration
[06:31] <gabbarinho> well, I can live with out them... it's just that the FIRST thing people said to me in this channel is "try beryl! try beryl!"
[06:31] <Colro> Can I mount a .nrg (nero image file similar to .iso) in ubuntu, or is there there a simple way to at least convert it to iso?
[06:31] <Jordan_U> gabbarinho, Yea, search for Beryl on youtube and you'll see why :)
[06:31] <gabbarinho> will do!
[06:31] <Khrajin_> Colro: With Nero you can save as .iso
[06:32] <qman> Khrajin_, by carefully configuring X ;)  I wish I still had the link to show you
[06:32] <lockd> Colro: what does file tell you it actually is?
[06:32] <gabbarinho> does it just make things pretty or add features as well?
[06:32] <katie> I was told several times to NOT even try beryl...
[06:32] <Khrajin_> qman: Is there a name for it?
[06:32] <gabbarinho> why, katie?
[06:33] <qman> from what I've seen, beryl can be a tad unstable, but nothing restarting a couple processes can't fix
[06:33] <katie> gabbarinho: Something about it being a beta. Its a sticky in a couple of the forums, and my brothers guru said its really unstable unless you are really knowledgable
[06:33] <Jordan_U> gabbarinho, It adds tons of useful features ( like OSx's expose ) and even more completely useless bling :)
[06:33] <katie> Dont know how much I trust my sources though
[06:33] <gabbarinho> ah
[06:33] <gabbarinho> oh! that's great! i use expose all the time on my powerbook
[06:33] <Khrajin_> katie: I dont know how much I trust your sources either ;)
[06:34] <gabbarinho> does it work on those intel graphics things in laptops?
[06:34] <Jordan_U> gabbarinho, expose + multiple desktops = heaven :)
[06:34] <katie> Khrajin_: Why do you think I'm looking for help in here? :-p
[06:34] <gabbarinho> oooooh.
[06:34] <Jordan_U> gabbarinho, Yup
[06:34] <Khrajin_> !expose
[06:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about expose - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:34] <gabbarinho> great - just ordered a cheap dell this morning
[06:34] <qman> gabbarinho, I've had Compiz (similar to beryl) running on a dell laptop with intel 915 graphics
[06:34] <Khrajin_> Jordan_U: What is expose?
[06:34] <gabbarinho> expose is the mac thing. you know.
[06:34] <Khrajin_> Sounds oftly familiar.
[06:34] <Jordan_U> gabbarinho, Since intel releases open source drivers you don't even need to add any drivers as they are there by default, and work great
[06:35] <grndslm> any suggestions for torrent client?  i'd rather not use ktorrent with gnome. . .
[06:35] <clever[rev] > fresh install of 7.04 and sound isnt working right now
[06:35] <gabbarinho> ah, great
[06:35] <clever[rev] > no alsa or oss devices that i can see
[06:35] <Khrajin_> grndslm: See if utorrent works
[06:35] <Khrajin_> !torrent
[06:35] <ubotu> Torrent clients: Azureus (Java), BitTornado (Shell with python front-end), KTorrent (KDE/Qt), rTorrent (C++) -  Bittorent FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html
[06:35] <Jordan_U> Khrajin_, It is a feature to show all your windows at once
[06:35] <qman> grndslm, I use bittornado, but it's not exactly good
[06:35] <ziroday> grndslm: deluge
[06:35] <Khrajin_> Jordan_U: thx
[06:35] <Colro> fixed the last problem, thanks :)
[06:35] <grndslm> Khrajin_:  no wine, please!
[06:35] <ziroday> !deluge | grndslm
[06:35] <ubotu> grndslm: deluge is a new Bittorrent client, created using Python and GTK+, intended to bring a native, full-featured client to !GTK environments such as GNOME and Xfce - See http://deluge-torrent.org/ for more information
[06:35] <gabbarinho> I hope I can get all the laptop things working... short-cuts for brightness adjustment, things like that
[06:35] <mneptok> grndslm: see PM
[06:35] <grndslm> ziroday:  hmm... deluge looks interesting
[06:35] <katie> Has anybody had any issues with installing themes?
[06:35] <ziroday> grndslm: its good
[06:35] <clever[rev] > any ideas on how to fix the audio?
[06:36] <gabbarinho> I am really liking what I'm seeing - looks really elegant, simple, un-bloated
[06:36] <Colro> I'm trying to play Starcraft via WINE and have the .iso mounted, but it keeps complaining about not being able to see the CD...am I screwed unless I actually burn it?
[06:36] <qman> grndslm, I recommend strongly against Azureus, it tends to crash a lot, because Java can't handle the number of simultaneous connections and file handles
[06:36] <ziroday> Colro: try cedega
[06:36] <grndslm> yes, i don't run java anything
[06:36] <grndslm> i'd rather run k-apps or wine than java
[06:36] <qman> agreed
[06:37] <grndslm> trying deluge
[06:37] <kadaz> how can I install sh programs?
[06:37] <qman> "sh script-name"
[06:37] <gabbarinho> do people use the default media player?
[06:37] <kadaz> k
[06:38] <gabbarinho> I am surprised it doesn't...er, run anything.
[06:38] <gabbarinho> not even mp3's
[06:38] <qman> gabbarinho, you need to install codecs for it
[06:38] <Jordan_U> gabbarinho, They can't include proprietary codecs for legal reasons
[06:38] <qman> gabbarinho, they can't include them by default because of copyright and patent issues
[06:38] <gabbarinho> oh, I see
[06:38] <gabbarinho> so what do people use? VLC?
[06:38] <ziroday> gabbarinho: you need to install them in Add/Remove
[06:38] <Jordan_U> gabbarinho, It should offer to install them for you when you try to open them though
[06:39] <qman> gabbarinho, for instant gratification, yes, but you can also install a series of codecs from the Universe for the default player
[06:39] <gabbarinho> I see
[06:39] <madman91> hey guys,, why do i get errors from wget when downloading certain files.. the error is something like http://8080 invalid host name ..
[06:40] <aum> how do I set up X to give me a massive virtual desktop that I can pan around with?
[06:40] <Colro> what's the command to unmount something? i keep getting an error saying I'm not root when I try to do it by merely right clicking on it
[06:40] <aum> Colro: sudo umount /path/to/mountpoint
[06:40] <Colro> ah, umount, was trying unmount ;\
[06:40] <arbol> can somebody help me in private?
[06:41] <kadaz> how can I change file permission in usr folder?
[06:41] <katie> What is the name for the screen with the orange loading bar at the beginning of a session? Is that the splash screen?
[06:41] <gabbarinho> tar.gz., rpm - what are these things?
[06:41] <qman> kadaz, look at the man page for "chmod"
[06:41] <Jordan_U> gabbarinho, I don't know if you know this already but Dell has recently started selling some PC's with Ubuntu pre-installed
[06:41] <Khrajin_> !rpm
[06:41] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[06:41] <Khrajin_> !tar.gz
[06:41] <kadaz> k
[06:41] <gabbarinho> are they roughly like packages in OS X?
[06:41] <ubotu> Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression
[06:41] <gabbarinho> oh, yes, I saw that
[06:42] <arbol> can somebody help me in private?
[06:42] <gabbarinho> they didn't offer it as an option for my laptop, hmm
[06:42] <qman> gabbarinho, .tar.gz packages are usually the source code
[06:42] <madman91> hey guys,, why do i get errors from wget when downloading certain files.. the error is something like http://8080 invalid host name ..
[06:42] <qman> gabbarinho, ubuntu uses debian packages, .deb extension
[06:42] <r00tintheb0x> Anyone with advanced problems, please dont hesitate to contact me. If i dont answer right away, thats because im in #guruhelp. :D
[06:43] <qman> gabbarinho, though, you should use apt-get whenever possible
[06:43] <Aerotwelve> How long will it take to resize my partition? I'm sitting at the text based installer, and it's been saying 0% for a while.
[06:43] <dr_willis> r00tintheb0x,  we will send all the troublemakers to you. :)
[06:43] <gabbarinho> oh - I was just trying to install Flash and it offered me those two options
[06:43] <r00tintheb0x> zeeeee, EADG, Azhi_Dahaka clear your screens... i accidentaly pasted too much
[06:43] <r00tintheb0x> lol
[06:43] <dr_willis> Aerotwelve,  and the partition size is?
[06:43] <gabbarinho> (.tar.gz. and rpm)
[06:43] <r00tintheb0x> zeeeee, lemme know when its done.
[06:43] <Jordan_U> gabbarinho, It's only one laptop model and two desktops currently, But I called Dell before the Deal and they helped me pick something out that would be Linux compatible, I don't know if it was just the one salesman though
[06:43] <r00tintheb0x> zeeeee, Azhi_Dahaka!
[06:43] <r00tintheb0x> zeeeee, Azhi_Dahaka when you see this... PM me and we'll continue.
[06:43] <Gartra1> im mlooking for a good p2p client
[06:44] <arbol> anybody can help me???????
[06:44] <ryancr> anyone have varicad running on feisty??
[06:44] <gabbarinho> ah
[06:44] <Gartra1> anyone?
[06:44] <gabbarinho> I am gonna have to pick up a book on ubuntu
[06:44] <micahspoop> Gartra1: I use aMule
[06:44] <Aerotwelve> dr_willis: I chose to resize my disk, I said 60%, and my minimum size needed was 60 gigs, so I'd say around 70-80ish gigs?
[06:44] <crockodie> can someone teach me about ubuntu effects
[06:44] <gabbarinho> totally baffled at the moment
[06:44] <qman> arbol, try being more specific
[06:44] <Gartra1> micahspoop: does have a GUI?
[06:44] <katie> Has anyone been able to change the splash screen on ubuntu?
[06:45] <kadaz> ok I got the chmod for file permissions, but what about folder perms?
[06:45] <chat_noir> Hello! Seeking help on a major bug in Feisty powerpc...
[06:45] <arbol> I need to build a nat server with bandwidth shaping!!!
[06:45] <micahspoop> Gartra1: Aye capn'
[06:45] <kadaz> is it different?
[06:45] <Jordan_U> crockodie, Do you have an intel or Nvidia card?
[06:45] <qman> kadaz, no, it's the same, but the "execute" permission means directory listing to folders
[06:45] <crockodie> i have ATI CARD
[06:45] <Aerotwelve> dr_willis: I also can't hear my harddrive spinning at all, I don't think it's doing anything.
[06:46] <Jordan_U> crockodie, Is it supported by the open source drivers?
[06:46] <crockodie> but how
[06:46] <defcon> gnome better than kde?
[06:46] <dr_willis> Aerotwelve,  id be very very very patient with it.   I rember why i always use 2+ hds for my Linux installs
[06:46] <kadaz> chmod [user] [+-] [rwx]  foldername  ~ this will unlock the folder permissions and subfolders/files?
[06:46] <qman> arbol, you'll probably get more help in #ubuntu-server
[06:46] <Aerotwelve> dr_willis: Alright, I"ll just leave it going for a while. Thanks.
[06:46] <arbol> can someone help me to build a nat server with bandwidth shaping???
[06:47] <qman> kadaz, to get subfolders and files, use the -R option for recursive
[06:47] <gabbarinho> how do I navigate to a directory in terminal?
[06:47] <qman> kadaz, to add read permission for everyone, do "sudo chmod -R +r foldername"
[06:47] <Aerotwelve> This probably wouldn't recognize any AC input at this time, would it?
[06:47] <Lilacor> gabbarinho: 'cd'
[06:47] <ryancr> i installed the deb from varicad, but running it i see the splash screen for a second then it gives me an Abored (Core Dump) message
[06:47] <gabbarinho> oh. like dos.
[06:47] <Aerotwelve> It's a laptop, and I wouldn't want it to run out of power during something important...
[06:47] <arbol> can someone help me to build a nat server with bandwidth shaping???
[06:47] <kadaz> k
[06:47] <ryancr> Aborted*
[06:48] <micahspoop> arbol: perhaps you need a more network/it oriented channel
[06:48] <Lilacor> gabbarinho: if you don't know how to use the basic command line, you're in trouble
[06:48] <gabbarinho> yeah, I am
[06:48] <gabbarinho> and I don't
[06:48] <arbol> ok thanks
[06:48] <qman> gabbarinho, it's similar to dos, but far more powerful and flexible
[06:49] <qman> gabbarinho, copy -> cp, move -> mv, dir -> ls, del -> rm
[06:49] <dr_willis> sililer to dos in the same way a Model T Car is similer to a   Dragster! :0
[06:49] <dfgas> anyone using a lexmark X1270?
[06:49] <katie> gabbarinho: there are plenty of good tutorials out there to teach you the basics als
[06:49] <crockodie> i try glxinfo | grep direct it say X Error in failed request
[06:49] <Jordan_U> !terminal | gabbarinho
[06:49] <ubotu> gabbarinho: 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
[06:49] <Lilacor> !power management
[06:49] <Colro> So I just installed beryl, set it up somewhat, and it's...not doing anything at all :\
[06:50] <gabbarinho> thanks :)
[06:50] <qman> gabbarinho, anything you can do on the system, you can do in a terminal, if you know how to do it. learning to use it is a valuable asset.
[06:51] <katie> So is there anyone in here that knows much about themes/splash screens in feisty?
[06:51] <kadaz> gman ie sudo chmod -r +rw xmms
[06:51] <BigMac_> Hey, I just installed PHP5 on Ubuntu 7.04, is there anything else I need to install because the mailto( function is not working?
[06:51] <Frogzoo> !themes
[06:51] <ubotu> Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy
[06:51] <qman> kadaz, it's case sensitive, you must use -R, not -r
[06:51] <katie> I've found my themes, I'm having a lot of trouble installing them, though.
[06:51] <chat_noir> Can somebody help me on a major issue in Ubuntu Feisty PowerPC please?
[06:51] <qman> kadaz, but yes, otherwise correct
[06:52] <gabbarinho> phew, managed to install flash
[06:52] <Lilacor> BigMac_: might be more helpful to ask in #php
[06:52] <BigMac_> Lilacor: Can't, it is full
[06:52] <kadaz> k
[06:52] <katie> I scrolled through the sections in the forums about installing them, but there were only the same questions, no answers.
[06:54] <eMonster|Vista> anybody uses rpm?
[06:54] <qman> eMonster|Vista, rpm is for redhat, not ubuntu
[06:54] <eMonster|Vista> yeah but you could still use it right
[06:54] <qman> !rpm | eMonster|Vista
[06:54] <ubotu> eMonster|Vista: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[06:54] <chat_noir> I have a major bug in Ubuntu Feisty powerpc... can anyone help???
[06:55] <n2diy> oMonster|Vista, yes.
[06:55] <clever[rev] > how would i go about fixing my audio on 7.04?
[06:55] <clever[rev] > im not seeing any sound cards
[06:55] <gabbarinho> beryl looks nifty
[06:55] <chat_noir> same problem here!
[06:55] <dr_willis> clever[rev] ,  whats your sound card?
[06:55] <clever[rev] > onboard something
[06:55] <clever[rev] > it works fine under win98
[06:55] <qman> clever[rev] , you need more details than that
[06:55] <Comrade-Sergei> my ubuntu will not pick up my ipod when i plug it in how can i trouble shoot this?
[06:55] <dfgas> !changethemes
[06:55] <ubotu> To change your themes, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy.  Kubuntu users should visit https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CustomizeKubuntu.
[06:55] <qman> clever[rev] , do an lspci, and find your sound card's chip
[06:55] <clever[rev] > not shure where i can get the details
[06:56] <dr_willis> clever[rev] ,  has it EVERworked under linux? work under the live cd?
[06:56] <clever[rev] > and i dont see anything under lspci that looks like it
[06:56] <clever[rev] > gedit was spiting tons of alsa errors from the livecd
[06:56] <qman> clever[rev] , if your sound card is ISA, you're going to have a very "fun" time getting it to work, unfortunately
[06:56] <dr_willis> night all
[06:56] <clever[rev] > probly because it couldnt find a alsa device to plauy sounds
[06:56] <clever[rev] > qman: its onboard audio
[06:56] <n2diy> eMonster|Vista: yes, I use RPMs.
[06:56] <eMonster|Vista> see rpms are useful
[06:57] <Colro> Am I doing something wrong here? I installed beryl, set it up somewhat (mainly a couple keybinding changes) and it's...not doing anything at all :x
[06:57] <chat_noir> this chat room suck. Why am I getting ignored like that? This is a serious problem I have.
[06:57] <katie> ubotu: I just looked at that site, and I see the same instructions as everywhere else. It tells me to use the .tar.gz file, and I try to tell it to install, and it says that its the wrong format.
[06:57] <mneptok> chat_noir: that attitude may have something to do with it
[06:58] <n2diy> ! patience | chat_noir

[06:58] <Comrade-Sergei> my ubuntu will not pick up my ipod when i plug it in how can i trouble shoot this?
[06:58] <Barurot69> when will firefox in ubuntu be updated? Windows version already updated
[06:58] <chat_noir> I've been polite, and ask a clear question
[06:58] <snerfu> chat_noir, you didn't really ask a tech question.
[06:58] <r00tintheb0x> Anyone with advanced problems, please dont hesitate to contact me. If i dont answer right away, thats because im in #guruhelp. :D
[06:58] <chat_noir> Yes it was
[06:59] <clever[rev] > qman: 00:0f.0 PCI bridge: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21152 (rev 03)
[06:59] <chat_noir> At least you could ask me further details
[06:59] <snerfu> Oh maybe I missed it
[06:59] <clever[rev] > qman: does that look like it might be a sound card?
[06:59] <katie> chat_noir, it still takes a bit of patience, maybe.
[06:59] <qman> Barurot69, once it is approved for compatibility and such, it should be added to the repos
[06:59] <n2diy> chat_noir: I just logged in, so I missed the original question.
[06:59] <qman> clever[rev] , probably not, look for "Multimedia Audio Device"
[06:59] <chat_noir> Ok, I have a major sound issue in  Ubuntu Feisty Powerpc
[06:59] <clever[rev] > dont see that at all
[06:59] <clever[rev] > i'll pastebin it
[06:59] <hydan> i've jammed my printing chord into the back of the printer as hard as i can. i've made sure everything is secure, and yet my machine doesn't detect the printer!chord in
[06:59] <hydan> help!
[07:00] <qman> clever[rev] , mine is "00:04.0 Multimedia audio controller: nVidia Corporation CK804 AC'97 Audio Controller (rev a2)
[07:00] <qman> "
[07:00] <grndslm> ehh....wasn't deluge in the edgy repository?  not seeing it in feisty
[07:00] <kadaz> gman, does those permissions include mkdir?
[07:00] <hydan> please.
[07:00] <qman> kadaz, what do you mean?
[07:00] <clever[rev] > qman: http://pastebin.ca/530606
[07:00] <chat_noir> Does'nt detect any sound drivers after a clean install
[07:00] <kadaz> gman, I've done sudo chmod -r +rw xmms   but trying to create a folder called skins, yet its denied
[07:01] <Comrade-Sergei> HELP! my ubuntu will not pick up my ipod when i plug it in how can i trouble shoot this?
[07:01] <kadaz> with a _R
[07:01] <kadaz> -R
[07:01] <Barurot69> what version of ubuntu will run on macintosh 512?
[07:01] <qman> clever[rev] , you're right, no sound card is in that list. it must require a module that isn't installed
[07:01] <chat_noir> This is an Emac Powerpc G4
[07:01] <clever[rev] > the pc itself is a dell
[07:01] <grndslm> Comrade-Sergei:  what Filesystem is on the ipod...HFS or FAT??
[07:01] <clever[rev] > optiplex gx1
[07:01] <grndslm> ...look in the settings on the ipod
[07:01] <madman91> grndslm: i believe it is fat32
[07:02] <Comrade-Sergei> grndslm, fat32
[07:02] <grndslm> madman91:  i thought there were different ones...
[07:02] <grndslm> some have hfs
[07:02] <grndslm> Comrade-Sergei:  have you tried gtk-pod ?
[07:02] <clever[rev] > qman: the kernel was complaining that the bios was too old(1999) and it wasnt trying to use acpi and it said to try acpi=force
[07:02] <qman> kadaz, try "sudo mkdir skins; sudo chmod 777 skins"
[07:02] <Comrade-Sergei> grndslm, its a os problem
[07:02] <clever[rev] > qman: there was a acpi enable/disable in the bios so i added it to grub's conf and it seems to be taking effect
[07:02] <Comrade-Sergei> or a ipod firmware problem...
[07:02] <clever[rev] > qman: not shure if thats related or not
[07:03] <grndslm> Comrade-Sergei:  what exactly is the problem? do you get errors?
[07:03] <chat_noir> the bug seems to have to do with the 2.6.20 kernel that comes with Feisty, but I did'nt found any solution yet
[07:03] <Comrade-Sergei> grndslm, on windows yes , linux no
[07:03] <kadaz> gman, thanks, what was that?
[07:03] <mneptok> Comrade-Sergei: make sure the iPod is in disc mode
[07:03] <grndslm> well, if you get errors on windows...it could be the player
[07:03] <Comrade-Sergei> grndslm, on winxp it says usb device not recognized
[07:03] <qman> clever[rev] , it's quite possible that the sound card is ISA, though it would take some more research to find out. I suggest you look for what hardware options are available in your model, at least to narrow it down
[07:03] <grndslm> Comrade-Sergei:  disc mode & gtk-pod should work
[07:03] <Comrade-Sergei> mneptok, it should still connect even if its not
[07:04] <mneptok> Comrade-Sergei: no
[07:04] <clever[rev] > qman: all isa and pci slots are on a seperate board comming off the motherboard
[07:04] <Comrade-Sergei> mneptok, it has before
[07:04] <mneptok> Comrade-Sergei: without disc mode it is not a mass storage device and presents itself only to iTunes
[07:04] <qman> clever[rev] , yes, but all the onboard hardware must be either PCI or ISA, they merely don't use a slot
[07:04] <Comrade-Sergei> mneptok, grndslm ok how do i set fot disc mode
[07:04] <clever[rev] > qman: yeah but it would need a seperate isa bus or go out to the seperate board and back in
[07:04] <Barurot69> what version of ubuntu will run on macintosh 512?
[07:05] <mneptok> Comrade-Sergei: from within iTunes, or by resetting the iPod
[07:05] <taurusivy> my acroread-7.01 fails to start, except the splash logo,
[07:05] <taurusivy> what could be the problem??
[07:05] <mneptok> Barurot69: none
[07:05] <Comrade-Sergei> mneptok, so reboot it?
[07:05] <Colro> anyone fairly experienced with beryl? :\
[07:05] <crimsun> taurusivy: you likely want to be using 7.09, not 7.01...
[07:05] <mneptok> Comrade-Sergei: no, a reset involves more that that
[07:05] <dfgas> hpw do you install a usplash?
[07:05] <Hillview> hi.. just installed 7.0.4 amd64, and I'm having a bit of trouble.. anyone know the proper way to kill x/gdm so I can install display drivers?  envy and the synaptic drivers aren't working for me.
[07:05] <qman> clever[rev] , most systems have several PCI buses, it's not uncommon to have onboard ISA hardware from that time period
[07:05] <Barurot69> is there a linux out there can run on 512?
[07:05] <taurusivy> i am running feisty
[07:05] <Comrade-Sergei> mneptok, its just up and center hold right>
[07:05] <clever[rev] > qman: ahhh i'll have to reboot to 98 and see what details i can get out of it
[07:05] <qman> clever[rev] , though, it could just as easily be PCI, I don't know, as it's not loaded
[07:06] <mneptok> Comrade-Sergei: http://www.gizmocafe.com/portable-audio/ipod-disc-mode.aspx
[07:06] <Comrade-Sergei> mneptok, well now atleast its charging via usb
[07:06] <qman> clever[rev] , either way, more information is needed
[07:06] <crimsun> taurusivy: http://debian-multimedia.org/pool/main/a/acroread/
[07:06] <taurusivy> but 7.01 works well on dapper
[07:06] <clever[rev] > qman: also my bios lacks usb keyboard drivers
[07:06] <Lilacor> Barurot69: I have ubuntu 7.04 running on 256
[07:06] <clever[rev] > qman: so grub doesnt respond to my usb keyboard
[07:06] <clever[rev] > qman: need a second ps2 keyboard to select 98
[07:06] <taurusivy> ok, i'll try that, thanx a lot
[07:06] <grndslm> clever[rev] :  with alternate cd or desktop?
[07:07] <n2diy> Barurot69: I don't know what an Apple 512 is , but look at the PPC kernels.
[07:07] <gabbarinho> any random suggestions on cool things to do with ubuntu?
[07:07] <clever[rev] > grndslm: desktop cd
[07:07] <qman> clever[rev] , not sure if that can be fixed or not, you'd probably have to find someone who knows more about grub
[07:07] <gabbarinho> favorite programs, perhaps?
[07:07] <clever[rev] > qman: either upgrade my bios or add usb support to grub i think
[07:07] <Barurot69> ppc version?
[07:07] <clever[rev] > newer bios's can make usb keyboards look like ps2 ones to old crap like dos/grub
[07:08] <astronouth7303> how do I add a new resolution?
[07:08] <n2diy> gabbarinho: kstars?
[07:08] <mneptok> Barurot69: Debian, OpenBSD, and NetBSD have m68k ports
[07:08] <gabbarinho> what's kstars?
[07:08] <astronouth7303> my LCD is widescreen, native 1680x1050
[07:08] <Comrade-Sergei> mneptok, thats wrong its center down to get to diskmode
[07:08] <clever[rev] > qman: booting...
[07:08] <Lilacor> gabbarinho: what are you installing an OS for? are you just bored/curious?
[07:08] <n2diy> gabbarinho: a planetarium
[07:08] <mneptok> Comrade-Sergei: k. dunno what iPods do what :)
[07:09] <gabbarinho> er... a planetarium? :)
[07:09] <mneptok> Comrade-Sergei: but disc mode should allow Ubuntu and Rhythmbox to see it
[07:09] <Comrade-Sergei> mneptok and it says "ok to disconnect" when it isnt mounted...
[07:09] <Vuroth> Anyone have an idea why grub would fail to install?
[07:09] <Barurot69> thanks man
[07:09] <gabbarinho> well... partly bored/curious
[07:09] <clever[rev] > qman: in win98 now
[07:09] <Lilacor> gabbarinho: and the rest?
[07:09] <gabbarinho> also, windows xp just does not run very well on this six year old PC
[07:09] <Comrade-Sergei> mneptok, i use anarok , and it doesnt see it, neither does nautilus
[07:09] <gabbarinho> so I am glad to find out ubuntu does run better on it
[07:10] <defcon> how do I logoff another gnome session
[07:10] <Lilacor> gabbarinho: how much memory do you have on it?
[07:10] <qman> gabbarinho, programs that start with K are usually KDE apps, while things that start with G are gnome apps. You can install both if you like, but they'll depend on major parts of the desktop system they're written for, so don't be surprised if it uses a lot of disk space to have both
[07:10] <clever[rev] > qman: 'crystal pnp audio system ...'
[07:10] <gabbarinho> one of the things I wanted to find out was if there was an expose-like feature in it - and it seems to have that too
[07:10] <Lilacor> defcon: log onto that session and 'logoff'
[07:10] <defcon> Lilacor, i cant i dont know how with fluxbox
[07:10] <gabbarinho> just 256mb here, but I have a much newer laptop too
[07:10] <mneptok> Comrade-Sergei: you might want to take it to an Apple store. iPods should "just work" in Fiesty, and every one i have seen does.
[07:10] <defcon> i just want to log it off or close it somehow
[07:10] <qman> clever[rev] , oh boy...I have a thinkpad with one of those, and I have only gotten it to work one time. Rebooted, and it never worked again.
[07:10] <Smegzor> hi, I'm trying to get an external modem (56k speed com+) working with ubuntu fiesty.  It is a winmodem, but its external.  I have tried to get ubuntu to detect it, and failed.  How can I tell if ubuntu has detected it at bootup?
[07:10] <clever[rev] > lol
[07:10] <Lilacor> gabbarinho: it's not production level software yet so be aware of that
[07:11] <clever[rev] > i got several pci cards laying arround
[07:11] <clever[rev] > qman: i can probly just shove one in and its 'fixed'
[07:11] <Lilacor> gabbarinho: can you add more memory to that box?
[07:11] <gabbarinho> sure, i understand
[07:11] <qman> clever[rev] , if you can, I suggest a soundblaster 16 based card
[07:11] <getoo> i have a little problem with my windows being all open , as i click on hte panel it will not open
[07:11] <Barurot69> try this man http://lowendmac.com/compact/512k.shtml
[07:11] <Comrade-Sergei> mneptok, i know it used to, now it doesnt! this really sucks
[07:11] <clever[rev] > qman: then its just a matter of making 98 default to the correct one
[07:11] <qman> clever[rev] , they are very well supported under linux
[07:11] <gabbarinho> I could, but I probably won't - it's really almost useless these days
[07:11] <getoo> i have to close the application and restaret it
[07:11] <getoo> any fix for this
[07:11] <Lilacor> gabbarinho: okay, donate it to the local charity and move on then
[07:11] <getoo> this happends with pidgin and firefox
[07:11] <jonathan_> hi
[07:12] <clever[rev] > qman: i have 4 diff sound cards which ive tested under linux(not counting this) and they all work fine
[07:12] <mneptok> Comrade-Sergei: put on your Anger Face and hit that Apple Store
[07:12] <skimonsta> anyone know what the specific syntax would be to tell the interfaces file to activate 4 nics but not to assign address's?
[07:12] <defcon> How do I logoff another user in ubuntu
[07:12] <gabbarinho> I was going to do something like that
[07:12] <clever[rev] > qman: 3 of them onboard
[07:12] <jonathan_> what happen with gaim?
[07:12] <Comrade-Sergei> mneptok, i got it from ebay!
[07:12] <gabbarinho> but it would probably be charity toward me if somebody took me :)
[07:12] <gabbarinho> er, took it
[07:12] <clever[rev] > probly wont have trouble with the pci cards
[07:12] <Comrade-Sergei> mneptok, where is the dev man in ubuntu , maaybe i can find it there
[07:12] <getoo> defcon: when i have two users loged on my laptop the mouse stops working
[07:12] <clever[rev] > and even then i have a selection to pick from:P
[07:12] <tiekyl> Has anyone in here been able to successfully install a new theme/splash screen?
[07:12] <getoo> the touchpad i mean
[07:12] <qman> clever[rev] , sound support is getting very good, actually, just some older models, especially ISA cards, are impossible to autoconfigure, and really difficult to set up
[07:12] <mneptok> Comrade-Sergei: lsusb
[07:12] <tiekyl> (Er...sorry if I seem impatient :-/)
[07:13] <clever[rev] > qman: i can extract the current ioports/dmachannels/irq for my crystal card
[07:13] <clever[rev] > qman: no idea where to feed linux with that though:P
[07:13] <Lilacor> gabbarinho: installing linux on an older computer such as yours makes the hardware useful
[07:13] <clever[rev] > qman: is that crystal card isa or pci you think?
[07:13] <jonathan_> how to register in freenode?
[07:13] <qman> clever[rev] , it's passed as arguments to the modprobe statement
[07:13] <jonathan_> somebody can help me?
[07:13] <qman> clever[rev] , probably ISA
[07:13] <grndslm> ehh....wasn't deluge in the edgy repository?  not seeing it in feisty
[07:13] <jonathan_> to register on freenode?
[07:13] <Comrade-Sergei> mneptok, hmm not there it says ipod in /media however (it says this even when not mounted)
[07:13] <clever[rev] > qman: ahhh and ugh:P
[07:13] <defcon> pkill -KILL -u USERTOLOGOFF
[07:13] <defcon> got it
[07:14] <Comrade-Sergei> mneptok, if i sudo del this will it work then?
[07:14] <clever[rev] > qman: you know how i might force a 3rd ide controler(isa) into a linux system?
[07:14] <clever[rev] > qman: so id have 3 channels and 6 devices max
[07:14] <gabbarinho> yeah, it does certainly run much better than with xp
[07:14] <Vuroth> ..assuming you can install ubuntu on your older hardware.  So far, I'm striking out.  ubuntu won't partition or put grub on my MBR
[07:14] <qman> clever[rev] , adding a PCI drive controller should have no problems, granted that the hardware is supported
[07:15] <qman> clever[rev] , make sure if you buy a new one that it has linux support listed
[07:15] <r00tintheb0x> Anyone with advanced problems that no one else can seem to solve... please don't hesitate to contact me. If i don't answer right away, thats because im in #guruhelp. :D
[07:15] <clever[rev] > qman: the motherboard has 2 onboard controlers and the isa card only has 2 ioport options so i cant put it in a empty 3rd slot
[07:15] <gabbarinho> I've found over the last year that I don't use many Windows specific program anyway, so if this works better for me, I'm in a mind to switch
[07:16] <clever[rev] > qman: i was guessing the onboard ide controlers might have been more flexible and could be moved to non standard ioports/irq and still work
[07:16] <tiekyl> gabbarinho: you a gamer? (Curiosity)
[07:16] <gabbarinho> really glad to find out that openoffice is much, much better than the staroffice i used ten years ago
[07:16] <grndslm> ziroday:  how'd you install deluge?
[07:16] <Comrade-Sergei> mneptok, i do a sudo rmdir /media/ipod  and it says its not enpty (the ipod isnt even connected)!
[07:16] <gabbarinho> not really
[07:16] <[-frost-] `linux> I have a question about my video, I just installed VLC, but this was also doing it with all the other video players. The sound works perfect, but the video seems to not appear, and if it does it flickers a bit
[07:16] <gabbarinho> i play one thing - pro evolution soccer
[07:16] <skimonsta> anyone know what the specific syntax would be to tell the interfaces file to activate 4 nics but not to assign address's?
[07:16] <Hillview> having trouble getting a decent resolution with feisty fawn and my nvidia 7950gt card, any ideas?
[07:16] <qman> clever[rev] , probably not, but PCI devices have this magical thing called IRQ sharing
[07:16] <tiekyl> gabbarinho: kay..haha, thats the only reason why i still need windoze...(nuff chat though)
[07:17] <clever[rev] > qman: yeah irq sharing helps but i havent heard of io port sharing:P
[07:17] <gabbarinho> right... well, one can always dual-boot
[07:17] <Comrade-Sergei> I got a directory in my /media called "ipod" when its not connected how do i rid of this?
[07:17] <Quan_Chi> Hello
[07:17] <clever[rev] > qman: so i'll wind up with 2 secondary ide controlers which probly wont go well
[07:17] <qman> clever[rev] , ah
[07:17] <tiekyl> Yup...
[07:18] <gabbarinho> on a typical day, the ONLY application I run is firefox - because of web apps i can use e-mail, word processing, etc
[07:18] <clever[rev] > qman: http://visualflex.net/gigagon/lge/3ide+.htm is the settings for my isa ide controler
[07:18] <qman> Hillview, install the proprietary nvidia drivers; the package is nvidia-glx
[07:18] <clever[rev] > qman: its ioport options are either *Primary
[07:18] <clever[rev] > (1F0-1F7) 	*Secondary
[07:18] <clever[rev] > (170-177)
[07:18] <tiekyl> I have a tendancy to try to find any available application to mess around with...
[07:18] <qman> clever[rev] , since the system has ISA slots, it's likely the onboard controller is also ISA
[07:18] <Hillview> qman, from synaptic?  I did that.
[07:19] <qman> Hillview, run nvidia-xconfig, then restart X
[07:19] <clever[rev] > qman: posibly /me looks
[07:19] <Lilacor> gabbarinho: ubutnu does that quite welll then
[07:19] <qman> Hillview, then you should be able to change your screen resolution much higher
[07:19] <Hillview> qman, okay, ty :)
[07:19] <gabbarinho> yeah, it seems to!
[07:20] <gabbarinho> my only concern is whether it will run properly on my new laptop (just ordered today) with all the power-saving features, etc
[07:20] <clever[rev] > qman: http://docs.us.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/ban_gx1/ has info on the motherboard
[07:20] <tiekyl> Has anyone in here been able to change themes or splash screens? I would at least like to know if its just me that the standard advice doesn't work for, or if its bcuz of metacity

[07:21] <clever[rev] > qman: sounds like its a pci ide controler
[07:21] <qman> indeed
[07:21] <eMonster|Vista> clever[rev] : that is soundcard
[07:21] <clever[rev] > atleast the 2 onboard ones
[07:21] <qman> clever[rev] , then it may be possible, but the BIOS might not like that very much
[07:22] <clever[rev] > eMonster|Vista: i pasted info for both the soundcard and ide controlers
[07:22] <clever[rev] > qman: yeah the bios may still cause problems
[07:22] <hylje> whaaaaaaaaaaaat
[07:22] <eMonster|Vista> clever[rev] : do you like that soundcard? i thought they make really nice sound.
[07:22] <_Codeman_> I asked about this before but I forgot the steps and I think I screwed it up, but how do I implement linux's version of Internet Connection Sharing?
[07:22] <Lilacor> gabbarinho: I'm having power management woes at the moment. :(
[07:22] <clever[rev] > eMonster|Vista: it works under win98 but not under linux yet
[07:22] <hylje> my X just gone about 50 pixels leftward
[07:23] <clever[rev] > eMonster|Vista: and its onboard so i cant replace it just add others beside it
[07:23] <gabbarinho> that's a shame
[07:23] <qman> clever[rev] , I believe "cs4236" is the module for your soundcard, though you'll have to pass IRQ, I/O, DMA arguments to it and such, and even then, quite lucky
[07:23] <eMonster|Vista> clever[rev] : it is one of the oldes crystal chipsets
[07:23] <eMonster|Vista> i confused it with cs 4230, which was good
[07:23] <clever[rev] > i'll google and check its man pages
[07:23] <eMonster|Vista> 4630
[07:23] <boiboi> erm, is it possible to resize a portion of my hardisk which is curretnly formatted with ntfs for ubuntu?
[07:24] <qman> boiboi, yes, make sure your partition is defragged and you've shut down windows properly, then use gparted to resize it
[07:24] <Hillview> qman, so I didn't miss anything.. kill x and gdm, run nvidia-xconfig, and restart x?  I forgot to take notes, sorry.
[07:24] <qman> Hillview, yes
[07:24] <kadaz> How do I disable html opening in bluefish ~!
[07:24] <Lilacor> boiboi: 'parted'
[07:25] <Hillview> hm, didn't seem to work =(
[07:25] <Madpilot> kadaz, rightclick on an HTML file, go Properties->Open With, choose another app
[07:25] <skimonsta> no one here wise in the ways of ubuntu networking?
[07:25] <qman> Hillview, are you running 7.04? open System - Administration - Proprietary Drivers (I believe)
[07:26] <pkweb> hello i have a big problem
[07:26] <qman> skimonsta, what's your question?
[07:26] <boiboi> |qman: i have two partitions, one is for windows and one is for my documents.I want to sacrifice 10gb from the documents partition for ubuntu... what  should i do?will that delete my documents?
[07:26] <Hillview> qman, yes.. 7.0.4, amd64 disc I burned the other day
[07:26] <kadaz> madpilot, how can I edit open with?
[07:26] <skimonsta> anyone know what the specific syntax would be to tell the interfaces file to activate 4 nics but not to assign address's?
[07:26] <kadaz> and remove bluefish
[07:26] <tiryanabunny> can anyone help me with an fglrx problem?
[07:26] <qman> boiboi, no, it will reduce the amount of free space on which ever partition you choose to resize
[07:26] <kadaz> madpilot I changed options in bluefish already
[07:26] <sheekta102> How come every time I delete a file in the GUI, it doesn't delete at all but instead creates a hidden copy of itself that I can't delete?
[07:27] <qman> boiboi, and leave it free so you can install ubuntu in another partition
[07:27] <Madpilot> kadaz, just switch the default radio button to the app you want to use
[07:27] <Azhi_Ubuntu> guys, how can i check if the hw 3d accel is on?
[07:27] <kadaz> k
[07:27] <Vuroth> Anyone able to help me figure out why my quantum fireball HD can't be partitioned or have grub installed by ubuntu.
[07:27] <pppoe_dude> hi very quick question: if i reduce the tx power (dBm) does that translate to less transmission power? or is it the other way around?
[07:27] <[-frost-] `linux> I have a question about my video, I just installed VLC, but this was also doing it with all the other video players. The sound works perfect, but the video seems to not appear, and if it does it flickers a bit
[07:27] <c0ldfront> hi
[07:27] <boiboi> |qman : i see, but which file format do it make it to so that windows could access it?
[07:27] <pkweb> when i use restricted drivers for my graphic card (nVIDIA GeForce2 Ti) max. resolution is 800 x 600 and 60 Hz
[07:27] <pppoe_dude> i.e. is less dBm = less transmission power? = more battery life?
[07:27] <kadaz> madpilot where is the default radio buttom
[07:28] <_Codeman_> I asked about this before but I forgot the steps and I think I screwed it up, but how do I implement linux's version of Internet Connection Sharing?
[07:28] <pkweb> pls help
[07:28] <Madpilot> kadaz, the button in Properties->Open With that shows what the default app is for the filetype...
[07:28] <qman> boiboi, none of the available linux filesystem types can be natively used by windows; however, if you use ext3, you can install a driver in windows to access it
[07:28] <tiryanabunny> I can't get my computer to fully recognize my graphics card... can anyone help me figure out how to get the ATI proprietary driver to work properly?
[07:28] <sheekta102> !ati
[07:28] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:28] <pkweb> ok i try tihs drivers
[07:28] <tiekyl> boiboi: just trying to understand your problem, as it might be the same as something ive been wondering, you trying to resize hte partitions without having to do a complete reinstall?
[07:29] <Azhi_Ubuntu> sheekta102: how can i check if the driver is accelerating propery?
[07:29] <qman> _Codeman_, you'll need to configure iptables. I'm not positive, but I think firestarter can help you out
[07:29] <tiekyl> or is that me just understanding...
[07:29] <sheekta102> What version of ubuntu are you running?
[07:29] <visham> hi folks
[07:29] <julius> hello
[07:29] <Azhi_Ubuntu> dapper
[07:29] <visham> help me installing a usb adsl modem on breezy
[07:29] <kadaz> madpilot Iam updating krusader and with krusader it uses html
[07:29] <tiryanabunny> I have followed the instructions listed, but it keeps telling me "Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0"."
[07:29] <boiboi> qman, but, i think the installer doesn't have that...  TO:tiekyl, yes, i want to try ubuntu without sacrificing my files or windows
[07:29] <sheekta102> I run feisty.. and have an nvidia but I see mine listed in the system settings
[07:29] <Azhi_Ubuntu> i already made all the steps on the howto, but i don't notice anything different
[07:30] <sheekta102> under restricted drivers
[07:30] <Madpilot> kadaz, are you running KDE or Gnome?
[07:30] <kadaz> gnome
[07:30] <_Codeman_> qwan: Thanks, iptables thing jogs my memory a bit :D
[07:30] <brylie> you know anything about python sur?
[07:30] <kadaz> I need to remove the assocation
[07:30] <qman> Azhi_Dahaka, run glxgears with the option to show all the extra info and the fps
[07:30] <c0ldfront> Yo my back, forward, and middle buttons on my mouse dont work in ubuntu
[07:30] <c0ldfront> any idea on howto fix this
[07:30] <sheekta102> How come every time I delete a file in the GUI, it doesn't delete at all but instead creates a hidden copy of itself that I can't delete?
[07:30] <tiekyl> boiboi: Ohh...so you don't have ubuntu installed yet. Aside from the backup, and possibly trying the livecd, I just used the installer and it worked beautifully, my windows files stayed safe
[07:31] <visham> usb adsl modem help
[07:31] <Madpilot> kadaz, you don't need to remove it, just change it to another app
[07:31] <julius> i'd like to ask a technical question ! My acer 1642 WLMi has a led that don't work. I have to edit the file /etc/modprobe.d/options and add the line : "options ipw2200 led=1". A friend of mine can't get the caps lock led working. Can I do something similar ? How can i list all the materials led ? (<[07:31] <visham> model: Huawei smartax 841
[07:31] <qman> c0ldfront, you have to define them to do something in xorg.conf, I suggest looking on ubuntuforums, as there is a good thread there on it
[07:31] <str4> sup
[07:31] <Nighteye> hey
[07:31] <boiboi> tiekyl: what should i click in the installer?
[07:31] <str4> unsure
[07:31] <kadaz> its not on default bluefish but firefox, but it still opens with bluefish
[07:31] <Nighteye> secret
[07:31] <tiekyl> boiboi: Have you tried to run the installer yet and aborted it or have you not tried yet?
[07:32] <Azhi_Ubuntu> i see three color gears and lots of info on the terminal
[07:32] <c0ldfront> ok thanks qman
[07:32] <taurusivy> The bug is fixed up
[07:32] <Madpilot> kadaz, odd. You right-click on an HTML file - any HTML file - and go Properties, then the Open With tab, and it says Firefox, but double-clicking on an HTML file opens it in Bluefish?
[07:32] <taurusivy> acroread could not start because its conflict with ilbscim,
[07:32] <qman> Azhi_Dahaka, lots of extensions available means you have the driver properly installed
[07:33] <tiekyl> So..anyone in here been able to successfully change theme/splash screen in feisty?
[07:33] <kadaz> madpilot no
[07:33] <taurusivy> the workaround is to perform 'export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim'
[07:33] <Azhi_Ubuntu> ok... how can i make the desktop snappier with this?
[07:33] <Madpilot> kadaz, then I'm confused as to what is happening, and how you've got your Open With options set. Be clearer, please?
[07:33] <tiekyl> madpilot: about your answer to kadaz...isn't that something you can change in the prefered applications? am i misunderstanding?
[07:34] <kadaz> madpilot krusader is asking put install lib from within "searching for tools" window
[07:34] <Madpilot> tiekyl, Pref Apps only covers a few apps - web, email, a couple more
[07:34] <kadaz> I click on link and it opens with bluefish, I already removed the ass with bluefish, but opens with.
[07:35] <boiboi> tiekyl: i have tried it on another comp, but one thing is,i want grub to load windows as first choice instead of ubuntu, as i have other users on my comp.
[07:35] <Madpilot> kadaz, what? I've never used krusader - don't even know what it is - but this sounds like a krusader bug, then
[07:35] <julius> nobody for my "shift lock" led ? :p
[07:35] <tiekyl> madpilot: isnt bluefish web?
[07:35] <qman> boiboi, that's simple, all you have to do is change a line in menu.lst
[07:35] <Colro> Kind of dumb question, but I used another LiveCD for a different distro and it had a pretty nifty system status type thing on the desktop that showed current speeds in/out and processor useage and such -- is there a similar app for ubuntu?
[07:35] <kadaz> madpilot bluefish is an html editor and I could remove bluefish or seach for in lib and man install.
[07:36] <boiboi> qman,:erm, which line? haha
[07:36] <tiekyl> boiboi: or just make them choose, or they dont get to use windows ;-)
[07:36] <Madpilot> tiekyl, yes, it's an HTML/CSS/coding app
[07:36] <qman> boiboi, change "default 0" to the number that windows is; the file is located in /boot/grub/
[07:36] <Azhi_Ubuntu> Trent_REz: can i PM you?
[07:36] <qman> boiboi, you must use sudo, as it requires root permission
[07:36] <Madpilot> kadaz, it sounds like krusader's preferences are screwed up somewhere.
[07:36] <kadaz> ill restart krusader
[07:36] <tiekyl> madpilot: i just figured that would change what it opened HTML files with, which just kind of confused me on your statement. Sorry.
[07:36] <qman> boiboi, the file is very well commented and should explain itself quite clearly
[07:37] <boiboi> i see :) thanks... but where can I find the menu.lst file?
[07:37] <qman> boiboi, the file is /boot/grub/menu.lst
[07:38] <Colro> Kind of dumb question, but I used another LiveCD for a different distro and it had a pretty nifty system status type thing on the desktop that showed current speeds in/out and processor useage and such -- is there a similar app for ubuntu?
[07:38] <boiboi> qman:erm, sudo? erm sudo what? sorry that I am not good with it
[07:38] <Lilacor> How do I adjust my power management so my box doesn't go to sleep mode automatically? the GUI doesn't seem to have much effect upon this :(
[07:38] <Madpilot> kadaz, um, why are you using a KDE file manager app in gnome? No wonder things are messed up.
[07:39] <Lapinux> i seem to be having a problem sharing a folder in my home dir over a windows network, can someone help me out?
[07:39] <tiekyl> colro: there was a plaintext type display right on the desktop on the live cd?
[07:39] <Vuroth> Executing 'grub -install (hd0)' failed.  This is a fatal error.
[07:39] <qman> boiboi, editing the file requires root access. I suggest you do the following:
[07:39] <Colro> yeah
[07:39] <wehttamb_> hi
[07:39] <Colro> it was Damn Small Linux
[07:39] <Colro> looked pretty neat, not a big deal if you don't know of anything similar that works on Ubuntu =p
[07:39] <r00tintheb0x> DSL rocks.
[07:39] <tiekyl> colro: I was messing with something earlier today that looked like that..
[07:39] <qman> boiboi, open a terminal (applicatoins - accessories - terminal), and type "gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst"
[07:40] <wehttamb_> i just installed supertux and i can not run. i need to run to complete the first level but i cant get tux to run
[07:40] <minostro> sdfg
[07:40] <qman> boiboi, then enter your password, edit the file, and save it
[07:40] <kadaz> madpilot its a file manger, wont it work with any distro?
[07:40] <wehttamb_> does anyone know how to run?
[07:40] <minostro> hello
[07:40] <tiekyl> colro: It was called..conky . I had a bit of problem getting it to work just right for me, but I didn't care that much. Should be a good starting point though.
[07:40] <Lilacor> wehttamb_: yes, and I can walk too!
[07:40] <Madpilot> kadaz, no idea, but why not just use Nautilus?
[07:40] <minostro> somebody xgettext utilities
[07:40] <minostro> ?
[07:41] <wehttamb_> how do i make tux run then?
[07:41] <Colro> alright, thanks. I should just look up whatever it is that DSL used, it was just pretty neat to have, nothing that's a big deal
[07:41] <r00tintheb0x> pop him in the tail with a wet towel wehttamb_
[07:41] <minostro> I want to make *.pot file
[07:41] <wehttamb_> lol
[07:41] <kadaz> thanks for the tip. I bought total commander, but no linux lib's
[07:41] <tiekyl> colro: its definently work checking out though, it looked pretty darn cool
[07:41] <wehttamb_> what key do i press on the keyboard to make him run then
[07:41] <Lilacor> wehttamb_: what program are you talking about?
[07:41] <minostro> but xgettext is not create the *.pot file
[07:41] <wehttamb_> please be serious
[07:41] <wehttamb_> supertux
[07:42] <minostro> :-(
[07:42] <qman> Colro, try "top", probably not the same thing, but it's pretty informative and useful
[07:42] <julius> i ask my question again...
[07:42] <julius> i'd like to ask a technical question ! My acer 1642 WLMi has a led that don't work. I have to edit the file /etc/modprobe.d/options and add the line : "options ipw2200 led=1". A friend of mine can't get the caps lock led working. Can I do something similar ? How can i list all the materials led ? (<[07:42] <Madpilot> kadaz, Gnome's file manager is at Places->Home
[07:42] <kadaz> Nautilus?
[07:42] <tiekyl> Has anyone in here changed hte theme/splash screen in Feisty?
[07:42] <wehttamb_> i would like to make tux run in supertux
[07:42] <boiboi> qman:thanks !then, i remember also on my other comp, i have problems with permissions on my usb hardisk and IDE hardisk, is there anyway that i can have owner permissions on them?
[07:43] <qman> boiboi, yes, there are two options. You can either take ownership, or grant permissions to everyone on the locations
[07:43] <qman> boiboi: to change permissions, use the chmod command. to change owners, use the chown command. the man pages for each should be very descriptive
[07:43] <Madpilot> kadaz, Places->Home starts Nautilus, yes
[07:43] <boiboi> ok
[07:44] <boiboi> qman: thanks
[07:44] <Lilacor> wehttamb_: what keys have you tried?
[07:44] <boiboi> with those info, i can now try out installing ubuntu...thanks!
[07:44] <wehttamb_> space, up, enter
[07:44] <qman> boiboi, no problem, hope you have a good experience :)
[07:44] <tiekyl> Another q: Is the splash screen the screen with the orange loading bar?
[07:44] <wehttamb_> it says it is configurable but i cant find it
[07:44] <tiekyl> boiboi: Good luck!
[07:44] <non|linear> is there any way to get webcam in gaim?
[07:45] <wehttamb_> i can change all the other keys but it doesnt show the key for run
[07:45] <qman> non|linear, it likely requires a plugin
[07:45] <tiekyl> kopete has support for webcams though, i havent seen any in gaim
[07:45] <BlueEagle> tiekyl: The webcam support in Kopete is buggy at best.
[07:46] <non|linear> hrm, any idea which?
[07:46] <boiboi> thank you!
[07:46] <Lilacor> wehttamb_: http://supertux.lethargik.org/wiki/User_Manual
[07:46] <kadaz> madpilot I like duel window switching for multitasking.
[07:46] <wehttamb_> ok thx
[07:46] <tiekyl> blueeagle: its still there though. Have you seen any other IM programs with decent cam support?
[07:46] <qman> non|linear, I don't think any of the ones that come with it will do that; if it does have support, you will probably have to install one
[07:47] <BlueEagle> tiekyl: Not for *nix, no.

[07:48] <skiff> whats a good FTP client with a lot of features, that resembles FlashFXP in windows?
[07:48] <tiekyl> Is it possible to install new themes with ubuntu out of the box? (Without changing window manager, etc)
[07:48] <skiff> or better for that matter
[07:48] <julius> skiff, FileZilla ?

[07:49] <qman> non|linear, try here: http://pidgin.im/about.php/
[07:49] <skiff> thanks
[07:49] <kadaz> madpilot does grnome have a better file manger simlular to krusader?
[07:49] <Azhi_Ubuntu> how can i install kde, in case that i want to switch from gnome?
[07:49] <Madpilot> tiekyl, of course. System->Prefs->Theme
[07:49] <skiff> Azhi_Ubuntu, sudo apt-get kubuntu-desktop
[07:49] <Madpilot> kadaz, no idea. I've always just used Nautilus.
[07:49] <skiff> Azhi_Ubuntu, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[07:49] <clever[rev] > qman: all i did was modprobe the driver and i appear to have fixed it
[07:49] <skiff> there
[07:49] <clever[rev] > qman: finding headphones to test
[07:49] <clever[rev] > qman: didnt even give it a single arg:P
[07:49] <tiekyl> Madpilot: Sorry if I keep repeating the question, I just haven't been able to do it successfully. I keep having "invalid file format"
[07:50] <qman> clever[rev] , if it does work, consider yourself extremely lucky ;)

[07:50] <Azhi_Ubuntu> ok... if i update from Dapper to Edgy, i lost all my extra packages and configs?
[07:50] <julius> nobody for me ? How can I activate material leds of the keyboard ?

[07:51] <clever[rev] > qman: i heard that:O
[07:51] <Magilla> it's very exciting, so nobody tell me how it ends
[07:51] <qman> clever[rev] , and if it does work, just add the module to /etc/modules
[07:51] <clever[rev] > now to just auto load it
[07:51] <tiekyl> madpilot / ubotu: I've read that article already, and I can't figure out why it is rejecting my .tar.gz files.
[07:51] <clever[rev] > i was thinking shove the modprobe in /etc/rc.local:P
[07:51] <kadaz> qman where is terminal located in ubuntu
[07:51] <Madpilot> Magilla, everyone dies in the end. Including the penguin. :P
[07:51] <qman> clever[rev] , just add the module name to the end of that file
[07:51] <Magilla> :(
[07:51] <Madpilot> tiekyl, where'd you get the .tar.gz?
[07:51] <Magilla> :P
[07:51] <EADG> hehe, r00tintheb0x negitave on both dmesg
[07:51] <clever[rev] > qman: ading...
[07:51] <non|linear> qman: checking the link thnx ;p
[07:52] <Azhi_Ubuntu> Magilla: snape kills dumbledore
[07:52] <qman> apparently gaim got renamed to pidgin
[07:52] <Magilla> noooooo
[07:52] <clever[rev] > qman: rebooting to test
[07:52] <tiekyl> madpilot: gnome-art, and it doesn't seem to be a particular file, i've tried it with several.
[07:52] <clever[rev] > qman: also after i added 'acpi=force' to the kernel args suspen disapeared from my list of shutdown choices in gnome
[07:53] <Madpilot> tiekyl, leave the tar.gz on the Desktop, open the Theme app, and just drag & drop the tar.gz in
[07:53] <alienseer23> why do I love Ubuntu? I just had to emergency downgrade my motherboard, processor, and lost about 87% of my memory, but this is the same hdd, and the same install of GNU/Linux-Ubuntu...
[07:53] <tiekyl> madpilot: "The file format is invalid"
[07:53] <qman> clever[rev] , it probably doesn't know how to handle your hardware and actually put it into suspend modes
[07:53] <alienseer23> top that Windows
[07:53] <feistyman> I'm having memory problems. I've got an 80 gig harddrive that isn't close to being full, but it says I only have 1 gig of room left. Anyone have a solution?
[07:54] <clever[rev] > qman: and before i added that it thought the bios was too old and shut acpi off totaly:P
[07:54] <nockii> hi, folks. how can i change monitor resolution to 1280x1024 if this value is not present in gui config tool?
[07:54] <clever[rev] > qman: somehow giving me more options

[07:55] <Colro> Does Ubuntu have a built in firewall or something? I've got my Azureus port forwarded in my router and it's still screaming at me that I have a NAT problem :p
[07:55] <clever[rev] > qman: and i know it supports acpi because it has an enable/disable option for it in bios
[07:55] <r00tintheb0x> Anyone with advanced problems that no one else can seem to solve... please don't hesitate to contact me. If i don't answer right away, thats because im in #guruhelp. :D

[07:55] <KevinD> anyone helps to explain why? /dev/sda6              38G  634M   36G   2% /home
[07:56] <qman> clever[rev] , yes, but some early acpi implementations didn't follow standards perfectly...
[07:56] <eMonster|Vista> KevinD: 2% is used out of 38GB
[07:56] <clever[rev] > qman: and its apm interface gives more features at this version?
[07:56] <Lapinux> can anyone here familiar with sharing folders in ubuntu explain something to me, or tell me if im missing something...?
[07:56] <feistyman> 'm having memory problems. I've got an 80 gig harddrive that isn't close to being full, but it says I only have 1 gig of room left. Anyone have a solution?
[07:57] <minostro> somebody help me with xgettext
[07:57] <qman> clever[rev] , the acpi interface component may not follow standards, so the system doesn't know how to use it because it lacks the custom windows drivers
[07:57] <minostro> please
[07:57] <kadaz> gksu /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator
[07:57] <eMonster|Vista> feistyman: disk space is not memory
[07:57] <clever[rev] > qman: ahhh
[07:57] <KevinD> yes, but the occupation is 634M
[07:57] <dr_drsh> I have a built-in SD card reader on my laptop, but It doesn't seem to work, I insert the card and then nothing, do I need to mount it manually or the sd-reader is not supported?
[07:57] <qman> clever[rev] , or, the system may have been intended to use a combination of both via custom drivers
[07:57] <Vuroth> It looks very much like I will not be able to install ubuntu, period...
[07:57] <eMonster|Vista> so it is rounded to 2%

[07:58] <feistyman> sorry eMonster/Vista, I guess i should have said space problems.
[07:58] <clever[rev] > qman: first it allways gave,2nd i beleive is from the kernel option i added as it said
[07:58] <feistyman> Have a suggestion?
[07:58] <KevinD> ok, i see, thanks
[07:58] <glen_r> Lapinux: What's your problem?
[07:58] <cycom> So...can I get my media buttons on my Dell to command VLC? They work great in Totem and Rythmbox, but I want em to do stuff in VLC!
[07:59] <Vanax> Any way i can get some help with my ati drivers to make it not so laggy between alt+tab?
[07:59] <tiekyl> Umm...is there a mouse shortcut to change window managers? o.O
[07:59] <qman> feistyman, run "df -h" to check how big your partitions are
[07:59] <qman> and how full they are
[07:59] <feistyman> qman, ok
[08:00] <Vanax> Anybody/
[08:00] <qman> feistyman, it may be that you've merely run out of space on one partition, due to a misjudgement when you set it up
[08:00] <feistyman> qman, I did a wubi install awhile back.
[08:00] <qman> Vanax, are you running the proprietary drivers, fglrx?
[08:00] <tiekyl> I just broke my gui....-_-
[08:01] <Vanax> I dont know. i jsut installed ubuntu last night lol.
[08:01] <non|linear> gman: are there binaries for debian for pidgin?
[08:01] <qman> Vanax, then you should install them
[08:01] <qman> Vanax, they will allow hardware acceleration
[08:01] <Lapinux> glen_r: im just wondering if im missing something, i went to system > administration > shared folders, i then shared a folder in my home dir but am unable to connect to the share from a windows machine because my user and pass is rejected
[08:01] <Vanax> qman, how do i go about doing this
[08:01] <tiekyl> Is there a way to tell what window manager you are using?
[08:01] <pkweb> i install nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel-common what i must install, when want my graphic card do corectly?
[08:01] <feistyman> qman, it says the total size is 5.8 gig. Anyway to change that?
[08:02] <MistaED> hey all, my swap partition was just 'remade' by fedora7 and now there's no UUID associated with it, how do you regenerate a UUID for a partition?
[08:02] <qman> feistyman, you can resize your partitions by booting the live CD and using gparted
[08:02] <Khrajin> Anyone ever work with Ubuntu?
[08:02] <gravemind> every time I use DeVeDe, I get garbled audio. What gives?
[08:02] <qman> !ati | Vanax
[08:02] <ubotu> Vanax: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[08:02] <Lapinux> glen_r: i had to "smbpasswd -a user" to ass my user and a pass to be able to access the share, how is a average user supposed to know this needs to be done
[08:02] <clever[rev] > MistaED: the uuid is allready made and in the swap but i forget how to extract it from the device
[08:02] <Khrajin> Anyone ever work with Request Tracker?
[08:02] <Colro> How can I burn an ISO to a CD in Ubuntu? =\
[08:02] <glen_r> Lapinux: Sorry, I thought you were referring to folder permissions on the same box.  I don't have experience with sharing with a windows box :-(
[08:03] <MistaED> clever[rev] , it's sudo vol_id -u <device>
[08:03] <pkweb> i now try it
[08:03] <Lapinux> oh
[08:03] <MistaED> but sda2 is bringing back nothing, there's no UUID
[08:03] <clever[rev] > MistaED: ahhhh
[08:03] <clever[rev] > lol
[08:03] <clever[rev] > you could just mkswap it again
[08:03] <feistyman> qman, I installed this originally from Windows using wubi. Is there another way, and will a live cd even work if I didn't use it in the first place?
[08:03] <Vanax> brb gonna try isntalling it
[08:03] <MistaED> bad fedora7, bad!
[08:03] <clever[rev] > from the current distro
[08:03] <magi> is there any package which contains mongrel?
[08:03] <joe__> yeah
[08:03] <qman> feistyman, I don't know what wubi is
[08:04] <clever[rev] > !wubi
[08:04] <ubotu> wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html
[08:04] <clever[rev] > qman: i heard a few days ago that the installer runs under winblows
[08:04] <MistaED> clever[rev] , aha that made a UUID, cheers
[08:04] <feistyman> It's that new method of installing Ubuntu through Windows.
[08:04] <clever[rev] > qman: probly if you say cant burn a cd or boot from it
[08:04] <qman> ah
[08:04] <clever[rev] > you can just dl and run the installer within winblows and not have to burn anything
[08:05] <qman> feistyman, in that case, I gave you the wrong solution, you'll have to allocate more space to ubuntu using the wubi installer
[08:05] <feistyman> qman, would I have to reinstall Ubuntu from scratch/
[08:05] <qman> feistyman, I don't know; you'll have to find someone who knows more about wubi
[08:06] <parepakisslang> hello. is pidgin already available on synaptic/apt? i want to replace gaim w/o hassles.
[08:06] <feistyman> ok
[08:08] <natecull> Trying to upgrade from edgy to feisty - having a heck of a time with repository MD5SUM/GPG errors
[08:08] <tiekyl> What type of program is metacity? is it a window manager? or is gnome the window manager?
[08:08] <natecull> sometimes I'll get an error on a file, go load up the url in Firefox, it'll show one version of say 'release', I hit reload, and up comes a later version
[08:08] <qman> tiekyl, gdm is the window manager, metacity is a theme management system
[08:09] <natecull> I think my ISP is transparently caching HTTP pages from the ubuntu.com repositories but apt-get isn't being very smart about forcing it to get the latest
[08:09] <natecull> is there any known fix for this?
[08:09] <tiekyl> qman: okay, thank you.
[08:09] <natecull> makes using update-manager heck of dodgy
[08:10] <qman> natecull, if your ISP is caching the pages, I'd imagine you'd have to complain to them
[08:10] <oTEK> !changethemes
[08:10] <ubotu> To change your themes, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy.  Kubuntu users should visit https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CustomizeKubuntu.
[08:11] <natecull> qman: I'm only guessing that that might be it because I've had issues with ugrading Ubuntu in the past and that's what I was told by various Ubuntu people the problem was
[08:11] <natecull> I have no idea what my ISP really is doing. The only program that's ever given me trouble with web fetches has been apt-get and friends
[08:12] <natecull> It's doing it again right now:
[08:12] <natecull> Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy-security/universe/binary-i386/Packages.bz2  MD5Sum mismatch
[08:12] <natecull> Reading package lists... Done
[08:12] <natecull> E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[08:12] <Vanax> So, it still doesnt work, and its laggy >.<
[08:12] <qman> Vanax: did you install the driver, run aticonfig, and then restart X?
[08:12] <natecull> so then I go to that Packages.bz2 url in Firefox, hit reload, and voila, it changes
[08:13] <Vanax> umm, no i installed, and then checked it to run, then restarted
[08:13] <r00tintheb0x> If there is anyone with advanced problems that no one else can seem to solve, please don't hesitate to contact me. If i don't answer right away, thats because im in #guruhelp. :D
[08:13] <natecull> there's a magic option setting somewhere in apt to make it always force non-caching or something isn't there?
[08:14] <qman> Vanax, ok; open up a terminal and try this: "grep fglrx /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:14] <qman> "
[08:14] <qman> if it shows up a line, it's configured correctly
[08:14] <minostro> xgettext
[08:14] <minostro> nobody
[08:14] <minostro> ?
[08:14] <Vanax> it says "Driver                      "fglrx"
[08:14] <qman> Vanax, run fglrxinfo
[08:15] <qman> in that terminal
[08:15] <natecull> Bug 33505 is what I'm talking about: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/33505
[08:15] <low_on_ram> hello all! I am working on a small project here to convert an old laptop to a digital photo frame. This laptop has a broken IDE connector on the mother board and so the only way I can boot up is using an external CD-R drive. I've booted the system up in Ubuntu. Now what I want to do is boot the system up in Ubuntu and use a network to fetch the photographs. Could someone point me in the right direction for doing this? Specs: NEC Versa FXi Lite, P3
[08:15] <low_on_ram> 600MHz, 192MB Ram NO HDD.
[08:15] <Vanax> mmk, what am i looking for?
[08:15] <natecull> is there a way to set -o options for apt so it always runs with, eg, -o Acquire::http::No-Cache=True
[08:15] <natecull> ?
[08:15] <qman> does it say "Mesa" in it?
[08:16] <Vanax> no
[08:16] <qman> all fglrx?
[08:16] <Vanax> fglrxinfo
[08:16] <Vanax> display: :0.0  screen: 0

[08:16] <qman> then it appears your driver is properly installed
[08:16] <qman> you should have full hardware acceleration
[08:17] <endo2016> i'm about to create a filesystem on a RAID1 device, any suggestions on what format to use? reiser, ext3, ... ?
[08:17] <qman> endo: that depends on what types of files you will have
[08:17] <Vanax> mmk im gonna restart and see how this works, and then im gonnna try and run wow
[08:17] <endo2016> media... movies, mp3s, ...
[08:18] <Madpilot> endo2016, ext3 is Ubuntu's default...
[08:18] <qman> endo: reiser is good with small files, XFS is good with big files, ext3 is on the slow side, but the most compatible (tried and true)
[08:18] <low_on_ram> also I would like the system to boot up from the CD Rom drive and then pass load linux on a USB drive. Unfortunately the system does not directly boot from a USB device :(
[08:18] <qman> endo: in that case, I'd suggest xfs myself
[08:18] <endo2016> hmm
[08:18] <endo2016> okay
[08:18] <r00tintheb0x> low_on_ram, get a pen drive and mount it as swapz0r
[08:19] <endo2016> I'll try that then ... thanks
[08:19] <endo2016> grr ... no mkfs.xfs ...
[08:19] <low_on_ram> r00tintheb0x, if I have a swap partition on a flashrom based device, it could be a bad idea.
[08:19] <low_on_ram> flash based devices have a limited num of writes

[08:24] <low_on_ram> r00tintheb0x, but I would like to work on it today.
[08:24] <r00tintheb0x> low_on_ram, what do you have to work with is what i am asking.
[08:24] <r00tintheb0x> What hardware?
[08:25] <r00tintheb0x> SD card? CF card? Pendrive?
[08:25] <low_on_ram> r00tintheb0x, CF and an SD card + card reader
[08:25] <minostro> I talk to in english to
[08:25] <Tiradin> Can anyone tell me how I can import font files from my windows partition?
[08:25] <Tiradin> as working fonts in Ubuntu
[08:25] <low_on_ram> r00tintheb0x, I have both a CF and an SD card.
[08:25] <r00tintheb0x> ok what are their sizes?
[08:25] <low_on_ram> r00tintheb0x, 1GB each
[08:26] <Colro> Hmm, is it possible to see my IP on the network then, qman? I know I've got everything configured properly
[08:26] <r00tintheb0x> low_on_ram, have you installed ubuntu yet?
[08:26] <skiff> hey when I try to add my LAN printer I get the following msg saying that port 631 will be opened and cupsys user (system user, not created by me) might be exploitable for an attack, how do I prevent that from happening and how do I secure all the other system users ?
[08:26] <r00tintheb0x> Colro, i dont understand what you're asking.
[08:26] <qman> Tiradin, install the msttffonts package
[08:26] <low_on_ram> r00tintheb0x, installed linux on the CF/SD card? I do not have an HDD for the laptop. The laptop does NOT boot from anything other than the CD R drive.
[08:27] <Tiradin> qman: I meant other fonts, I've already installed msttfonts pacakge.
[08:27] <qman> Colro: open up a terminal and do ifconfig
[08:27] <Colro> Ah, I said earlier that I'm trying to open a port for a program, and I've got it all configured properly and the port forwarded in my router, but it's still not working. I know with the same settings it works in Windows, so I was woundering if perhaps Ubuntu had a hidden firewall or is useing HDCP despite what I've told it to do.
[08:27] <minostro> are you help me with xgettext
[08:27] <minostro> ?
[08:28] <Brade1> where can i go to get help on burning an iso on to a cd using Windows XP
[08:28] <Brade1> Pro
[08:28] <Colro> god damn, it is useing the wrong IP -- I told it to setup a static IP to .50 and it just went right on ahead and used DHCP instead :/
[08:28] <qman> Tiradin, there is a ttf library, however, you'll have to place the fonts in the correct folder, which I'm unsure of
[08:28] <natecull> Brade1: you'll need a third party CD burning tool I believe
[08:28] <Tiradin> qman: thank you for your help... there's probably some way for me to figure it out
[08:28] <Brade1> ok bye
[08:29] <BFTD> Hi, on my laptop just before the login screen appears on boot up, it crashes and locks up, if I restart the machine without shutting off the laptop, it works fine, but other then that it crashes every time, how do I find out whats wrong?
[08:29] <Brade1> how long will it take?
[08:29] <Colro> Well, going along with it and useing the DHCP IP fixed it, but could there be a reason why Ubuntu isn't letting me use a static IP?
[08:29] <qman> BFTD, try pressing CTRL+ALT+F1 after it crashes

[08:30] <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
[08:30] <qman> BFTD, if you get a terminal, log in and run "dmesg" to get some hints as to what's happening
[08:30] <redcard> Colro: What does "System -> Administration -> Network say?
[08:30] <BFTD> qman I tried that, its unresponsive to anything
[08:30] <Brade1> soz
[08:30] <Brade1> did any1 help me then?
[08:30] <r00tintheb0x> oooh low_on_ram
[08:30] <hydan> so thanks whomever responded... thank you thank you thank you!!!
[08:30] <r00tintheb0x> i see, you dont even have a hard drive.
[08:30] <natecull> BTFD: also try looking in /var/log/messages after you manage to get it to start and see if there's anything logged for the previous boot
[08:30] <low_on_ram> r00tintheb0x, :D the IDE connector on the mobo is broken.
[08:31] <Colro> that's what I used to set up my wired connection to use a static IP of *.50 instead of a random DHCP IP of *.100+ -- it says it's useing the .50 address, but apparently it's not
[08:31] <r00tintheb0x> that sucks low_on_ram, get an external HDD or something.
[08:32] <natecull> Brade1: are you asking for a utility that will burn ISOs from Windows XP?
[08:32] <low_on_ram> r00tintheb0x, I've tried getting an ext HDD. This model is an antique and I could not get anything on the internet.
[08:32] <minostro> thanks for your help
[08:32] <minostro> bey
[08:32] <minostro> bye
[08:32] <bitwiseshiftleft> question: does anyone know of a project (preferably in ubuntu, but elsewhere too) which aims to support intel's turbo memory?
[08:32] <redcard> Colro: I'd be curious what ifconfig says your IP address is (In Terminal)
[08:32] <r00tintheb0x> so low_on_ram you want to install ubuntu to a SD card?
[08:33] <slytherin> I have 2 questions (unrelated to Ubuntu). Is FAT32 file system UTF8 compliant? Is iPod software UTF8 compliant?
[08:33] <redcard> Colro: For me, personally, I use DHCP and have my router set to assign an IP based on MAC address
[08:33] <bitwiseshiftleft> slytherin: i'm pretty sure fat32 is not UTF8 compliant
[08:33] <qman> slyski, FAT32 does not support UTF8 natively, however, it can be forced, but if you plan to use windows with it too, that's a bad idea
[08:33] <low_on_ram> r00tintheb0x, preferably on the SD card. I was thinking that if I can start the booting up from CDR drive and somehow redirect the boot sequence to say that linux is on so and so device, I can avoid the CDR drive getting trashed.
[08:34] <Colro> Well, I usually just setup a static IP of .50 and leave the DHCP addresses to the other computers in the house so that I can easily forward ports here without having to change it every time my IP changes
[08:34] <qman> oh, silly tab completion, I meant slytherin
[08:34] <Colro> But for some reason it's just ignoreing my settings and useing DHCP anyway
[08:34] <slytherin> qman: bitwiseshiftleft: Thanks for inputs. I don't use Windows so that should be fine. Any idea about iPod?
[08:35] <natecull> Brade1: try http://www.petri.co.il/how_to_write_iso_files_to_cd.htm
[08:35] <redcard> Colro: You don't have roaming mode on in System->Administration->Network , do you?
[08:35] <low_on_ram> r00tintheb0x, and since I have 192MB RAM, I can run minimal num of applications, run X ONLY for running a photo slideshow viewer, I can get away with having no swap.
[08:35] <qman> slytherin, I don't know about ipod, I don't have one myself
[08:35] <k_direktorate> hi
[08:35] <bitwiseshiftleft> slytherin: I just use my ubuntu machine to charge my ipod.
[08:35] <Colro> Nope.
[08:35] <k_direktorate> does anyone now hae could i install my usb printer?
[08:36] <k_direktorate> please
[08:36] <qman> k_direktorate, if it's a "winprinter", either the driver is in the list, or you can
[08:36] <qman> 't use it
[08:36] <slytherin> bitwiseshiftleft: The reason I am asking this is that I plan to rip a CD for my friend's iPod and was planning to name tracks in my native language.
[08:36] <r00tintheb0x> low_on_ram, you should install the server version to a pen drive.
[08:36] <redcard> Colro: Hmm.. I dunno what to suggest there, then..
[08:36] <r00tintheb0x> then install fluxbox or something
[08:36] <k_direktorate> i don't think i get the piont ....
[08:37] <ohnoimdead> just got a lifebook p7230 ultra-portable.  it runs feisty like a dream BUT i can't get the dang built-in cam to work.  any suggestions?
[08:37] <bitwiseshiftleft> slytherin: if either of you has itunes, i think itunes and ipod support utf8
[08:37] <qman> k_direktorate, many new usb printers lack proper hardware to save money, so the driver software makes up for it; however, it is only written for windows, and people have to write the software for linux
[08:37] <bitwiseshiftleft> but i'm not sure
[08:37] <low_on_ram> r00tintheb0x, ok. but how do I get the CDR to load linux from  the SD card ?
[08:37] <k_direktorate> oooo
[08:38] <qman> if you have such a printer, dubbed "winprinters", either the driver is in the list, or it won't work
[08:38] <k_direktorate> aha
[08:38] <k_direktorate> ok
[08:38] <slytherin> bitwiseshiftleft: I will try anyway. If needed I will convert names later
[08:38] <k_direktorate> thk
[08:38] <r00tintheb0x> what do you mean low_on_ram ?
[08:38] <r00tintheb0x> load linux from the SD card?
[08:38] <r00tintheb0x> GRUB should be able to do that.
[08:39] <Tiradin> I'm looking for the formatting fonts for Windows... it was called "Tahoma"
[08:39] <Tiradin> Nice looking font, wanted to use it on Ubuntu.
[08:39] <qman> r00tintheb0x, I think what low_on_ram means is, the system will not boot from the SD card, so (s)he needs to boot initially from a CD
[08:39] <Tiradin> there's already a TTF of it on my windows partition, isn't there a way I can transfer it over to Ubuntu?
[08:39] <slytherin> Tiradin: install packafe msttcorefonts
[08:39] <Akuzed> I'm having trouble with my laptop. I cannot seem to connect to the internet(this is another laptop obviously). How do I check to see if it has a wireless device in it so that I am not trying to connect to what cannot be connected to.
[08:39] <Madpilot> Tiradin, sure. Linux can use TTF fonts.
[08:40] <Madpilot> ubotu, fonts | Tiradin
[08:40] <ubotu> Tiradin: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer
[08:40] <slytherin> Tiradin: or perhaps you can copy the TTF file.
[08:40] <low_on_ram> r00tintheb0x, qman is right. That is the problem I have :(
[08:41] <n30n> How do i put the "network-manager" package on the buttom bar instead of the top.
[08:41] <n30n> it's the one that controls both wireless and wired
[08:42] <ohnoimdead> n30n right click on the bar and select "Add to panel"
[08:42] <ohnoimdead> network monitor should be in the list of widgets you can add.
[08:42] <yoyovoe_> hi
[08:42] <bitwiseshiftleft> Akuzed: type iwconfig
[08:42] <slytherin> n30n: Right click on the netwok manager in top panel and click remove from panel. And then add it on bottom panel.
[08:43] <r4nge> with 7.04, it seems as though it comes with GCC but no /usr/include files... is this normal?
[08:43] <ohnoimdead> anyone have any experience getting a laptop built-in camera to work in feisty?
[08:43] <Flannel> r4nge: gcc isn't installed by default.  You'll need to install build-essential, that'll include all the goodies
[08:44] <endo2016> if i want to setup LVM on a SW RAID device, can i just point cfdisk at the raid device and create a new primary partion of type Linux LVM?  (wiki instructions seem to assume you are using the alternate CD)
[08:44] <slytherin> r4nge: No it is normal. Do you have build-essential package installed? Also check is you have ubuntu-desktop package installed
[08:44] <Akuzed> bitwiseshiftleft: Thank you. It has told me there is no wireless extensions. Is that telling me what I assume is pretty obvious?
[08:44] <low_on_ram> ohnoimdead, I saw an article sometime back and it said that the author had difficulty getting hte laptop's camera working (I think the laptop was an HP model)
[08:44] <r00tintheb0x> oooh qman and low_on_ram
[08:44] <_Codeman_> so if I just changed my iptables do I need to reboot?
[08:44] <n30n> How do i add that network-manager icon to the bottom bar instead of the top bar
[08:44] <r00tintheb0x> low_on_ram, does it have a floppy drive?
[08:44] <ohnoimdead> POOP!
[08:44] <slytherin> Flannel: on 7.04 build-essential is installed if yu have ubuntu-desktop installed
[08:44] <bitwiseshiftleft> Akuzed: yes.
[08:44] <r4nge> slytherin, i just find it weird, what good is gcc without the standard library?
[08:44] <n30n> it doesnt appear to be in the "add to panel" things
[08:45] <Tiradin> Stupid question.. how do I change user to root in terminal?
[08:45] <ohnoimdead> i've got this cute little cam and i can't use it!?!
[08:45] <Flannel> slytherin: no, that's not true
[08:45] <low_on_ram> r00tintheb0x, nope. No floppy drive either :(. Trust this one is one of a kind antique piece. :D
[08:45] <bitwiseshiftleft> Akuzed: However, you might have a wireless card and no driver.  not sure how to check for that.
[08:45] <n30n> Tiradin, sudo
[08:45] <Tiradin> ah..
[08:45] <Tiradin> thank you
[08:45] <slytherin> Flannel: It has been true from 6.10. Prove me wrong :-)
[08:45] <bitwiseshiftleft> Akuzed: Ubuntu is pretty good about including wireless drivers, but they might have missed yours
[08:45] <r4nge> Flannel, gcc is on my ubuntu 7.04 and i didnt install it
[08:45] <r4nge> Flannel, actually i should double check that
[08:45] <low_on_ram> ohnoimdead, I do not know if you can use it or not. Someone reported that natively fiesty does not recognise the webcam. I am not say "oh no you are dead"
[08:46] <ohnoimdead> r4nge "sudo apt-get install build-essential"
[08:46] <Flannel> slytherin: http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/metapackages/ubuntu-desktop  no build-essential, and no libc6 either, so b-e cannot be installed
[08:47] <Tiradin> how about the copy files command?
[08:47] <Akuzed> bitwiseshiftleft: THank you very much. I know there was one before, but after an unfortunate incident some number of months back things have not been the same. Never let your generally computer illerate sister try and use linux.
[08:47] <Flannel> r4nge: gcc is apparently installed with ubuntu-desktop (so by default), but nothing else is.  That I can see.  gcc might be used for other languages, I'm not sure the rationale behind installing it.  But you can install b-e easily enough (and it's on all Ubuntu media)
[08:47] <Tiradin> in terminal... have to sudo it
[08:47] <phylogenesis> what is the Ctrl+Alt+Delete combination for Ubuntu?
[08:47] <Tiradin> n30n: Do you know the command in Terminal to copy a file from <dest a> to <dest b>
[08:47] <Tiradin> ?
[08:47] <r4nge> Flannel, i would have no prob getting gcc working properly, just found this weird that it's on there but you cant even compile a simple program with it out of the box
[08:48] <ohnoimdead> tiradin "cp [source]  [destination] "
[08:48] <Tiradin> ohnoimdead: Thank you
[08:48] <Oriona> Tiradin, mv source dest
[08:48] <r00tintheb0x> qman, can grub not write a boot record to a SD card?
[08:49] <ohnoimdead> tiradin cp for copy, mv for move
[08:49] <Tiradin> Nod... i figured that
[08:49] <Tiradin> thank you both,
[08:49] <Oriona> oh he said copy, yeah
[08:49] <stiv2k> where does firefox store my bookmarks?
[08:49] <Flannel> r4nge: Ubuntu is setup so that you needn't compile.  That's why.  Traditionally gcc isn't even installed.  I don't know why it is in 7.04
[08:49] <r4nge> yeah, wasnt in my 6.10 server edition
[08:49] <Tiradin> hmm
[08:50] <BlueEagle> r4nge: Well you might bug-report it. Afaik gcc should not be in "OTB" but installed with build-essentials.
[08:50] <Oriona> Tiradin, try: cp -Rp source dest
[08:50] <Oriona> if ur having issues
[08:50] <Tiradin> I was transferring a font into a directory VIA the ubuntu HowTo, and recached my fonts... but it didn't detect the TTF file that's in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-tahoma/
[08:50] <thirdy> how do I install tuxracer from the Terminal?
[08:50] <r4nge> BlueEagle, first i have to go through my logs but i;m 99.9% sure i didnt install gcc on my own
[08:51] <BlueEagle> tiradin: Did you re-build your font library?
[08:51] <r4nge> Flannel, you confirm that gcc is installed by default?
[08:51] <Flannel> r4nge: that's correct, you didn't.  Its required by ubuntu-desktop.  In 6.10, it was only a recommends.  I'm sure it was upped to depends for a reason.
[08:51] <Tiradin> BlueEagle: fc-cache -f -v?
[08:51] <r4nge> Flannel, gotcha
[08:51] <Flannel> r4nge: it's most likely not a bug.  Just a design decision that we don't know about.
[08:51] <hwolff> where can I find older ubuntu packages? kvnpc in Version 0.8.7 does not work with vpnc 0.4.x
[08:51] <BlueEagle> tiradin: That's the one, yes.
[08:51] <slytherin> thirdy: sudo apt-get install planetpenguin-racer
[08:52] <Tiradin> BlueEagle: Yes I did, I watched as the folder i put in went by, it said "0 fonts, 0 dirs"
[08:52] <r00tintheb0x> If there is anyone with advanced problems that no one else can seem to solve, please don't hesitate to contact me. If i don't answer right away, thats because im in #guruhelp. :D
[08:52] <BlueEagle> tiradin: Double check privileges on the directory and files so that all have read on them.
[08:52] <ohnoimdead> if i can find a win driver for the built in cam is there anything like ndis for input devices?  i'm just shooting in the dark here.
[08:53] <r00tintheb0x> no ohnoimdead
[08:53] <low_on_ram> r00tintheb0x, does my problem classify as a something that requires a "guruhelp"?
[08:53] <Tiradin> BlueEagle: In terminal I did a sudo mkdir... how do I change the parameters so everyone can read it?
[08:53] <r00tintheb0x> no low_on_ram :)
[08:53] <r00tintheb0x> if you want it to it can.
[08:53] <r00tintheb0x> :)
[08:53] <low_on_ram> r00tintheb0x, ok.
[08:53] <ohnoimdead> r00t, you are really breaking my balls here.  ;)
[08:53] <thirdy> How do I know if my drivers are latest?
[08:53] <BlueEagle> tiradin: man chmod
[08:53] <r00tintheb0x> lol ohnoimdead
[08:53] <Tiradin> BlueEagle: Thank you, i'm reading it
[08:53] <_Codeman_> Any iptables gurus around?
[08:53] <ohnoimdead> ok, i'm gonna go cry like an emo kid.  l8er all.
[08:54] <r00tintheb0x> ohnoimdead, what are you trying to get to work?
[08:54] <dedi> can i prevent the system accessing sda while booting? getting a huge spam of "attempt to access beyond end of device" everytime, with lags. the disc is already managed by dmraid, so i dont need direct access or maybe even listed
[08:54] <ohnoimdead> the built-in cam in my lifebook 97230
[08:54] <low_on_ram> r00tintheb0x, he's trying ot get fiesty to detect and use his laptop's inbuilt webam
[08:54] <low_on_ram> *webcam
[08:54] <r00tintheb0x> aah, i can help with that.
[08:54] <r00tintheb0x> Lowram, you need to google for...
[08:54] <ohnoimdead> sorry make that p7239
[08:54] <r00tintheb0x> lemme think.
[08:55] <ohnoimdead> OOOOOO!  even if you could point me in the right direction r00t that would be great.
[08:55] <gabbarinho> hey, there is a 64 bit version of ubuntu, right?
[08:55] <gabbarinho> I never understood that properly - is 64 bit "faster"?
[08:55] <nockii> i can't fix it. the resolution is wrong and i need 1280x1024. somebody know what to write in xorg.conf to fix it?
[08:56] <ohnoimdead> nockii, what is the video card?
[08:56] <tritium> nockii: I gave you the info earlier...
[08:56] <low_on_ram> ohnoimdead, it sounds like an exclusive japanese model
[08:56] <thirdy> What's the best package manager?
[08:56] <BlueEagle> gabbarinho: 64bit is more precise atleast.
[08:56] <tritium> !fixres > nockii
[08:56] <Tiradin> BlueEagle: I'm sorry I actually don't understand what it's trying to tell me.
[08:56] <r00tintheb0x> low_on_ram, how do you plan to initally boot, from CD?
[08:56] <gabbarinho> more precise? precisely what does that mean? :)
[08:56] <_Codeman_> gabbarinho: do you have a 64 bit processor?
[08:56] <Tiradin> BlueEagle: I'm not sure which options I should change to on the file :/
[08:56] <BlueEagle> tiradin: sudo chmod -R a+rx /usr/share/fonts/
[08:56] <gabbarinho> no, I don't - I'm wondering what it would mean if one did
[08:56] <low_on_ram> r00tintheb0x, yes. the system can only boot from CD or from IDE HDD, which doesn't exist anymore.
[08:56] <thirdy> How do I update Automatix's list?
[08:57] <r00tintheb0x> low_on_ram, put the SD card in, boot from CD, and see if it'll let you install to the SD card.
[08:57] <BlueEagle> tiradin: -R = recursive, a = all, +rx add read and execute permissions.
[08:57] <r00tintheb0x> I can get the card to boot i think.
[08:57] <_Codeman_> gabbarinho: oh, I see
[08:57] <low_on_ram> r00tintheb0x,  ok I will try that.
[08:57] <Tiradin> BlueEagle: Thank you, I would of never gotten it! lol
[08:57] <BlueEagle> tiradin: It takes some getting used to reading man pages. :)
[08:57] <BlueEagle> !automatix
[08:57] <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
[08:57] <Tiradin> :)
[08:57] <gabbarinho> because...er, there must be a reason that we have 64 bit processors, but no one has ever explained to me why
[08:57] <low_on_ram> r00tintheb0x,  you mean to try it on the laptop I presume
[08:58] <r00tintheb0x> yes, sorry.
[08:58] <slytherin> gabbarinho: 64 bit is faster
[08:58] <hwolff> does anyone know where I can get an older version of a package?
[08:58] <nockii> ohnoimdead: Gigabyte PCI-E NV GV-NX76G256D-RH GF7600GS 256Mb
[08:59] <gabbarinho> "faster"? :)
[08:59] <ohnoimdead> nockii, thanks!!!
[08:59] <ohnoimdead> at least now i can scrounge around for a possible driver...
[08:59] <slytherin> gabbarinho: faster than 32 bit
[08:59] <low_on_ram> r00tintheb0x, the Ubuntu live CD has an option "Boot from Hard Disk". Can it be used for anything?
[08:59] <endo2016> is there a VFS utility that will resize partitions (similar to resize_reiserfs)?
[08:59] <gabbarinho> well, yes, I supposed as much
[09:00] <r4nge> i c, on my server with 6.10, i installed g++ in addition to gcc, g++ has libc6-dev (which has stdio.h, etc) and a dependency
[09:00] <gabbarinho> but faster how, how much faster, why faster - does anyone really understand it?
[09:00] <r4nge> as a
[09:00] <slytherin> endo2016: what is VFS?
[09:00] <BlueEagle> gabbarinho: I bet a quarter that google does.
[09:00] <endo2016> oh my
[09:00] <endo2016> XFS
[09:00] <_Codeman_> lol
[09:00] <gabbarinho> you've got a bet!
[09:00] <ShawnMcCuan> slytherin: VFS is a filesystem :)
[09:00] <endo2016> hehe
[09:01] <slytherin> endo2016: if XFS support is inbuilt then gparted should help you with resizing
[09:01] <BlueEagle> gabbarinho: http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=1665
[09:01] <joacim_> what is the status of powerpc support for feisty. i know it's beeing faded out (and there was no offical cd for powerpc), but are the powerpc updates/repos in sync with the rest. (i'm trying desktop-effects and the bugs reported for cube+workspace switcher does not seem to be exactly the same as I experience). Maybe other packages are older in the powerpc repos??
[09:02] <gabbarinho> thanks for the link
[09:02] <BlueEagle> gabbarinho: Don't thank me. Thank google.
[09:02] <BlueEagle> (and where's my quarter?)
[09:03] <slytherin> Does anyone know what is default bitrate for vorbis encoding in sound-juicer?
[09:03] <charles> I type in sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to change my monitor resoultion and it does not work
[09:03] <charles> *Resolution
[09:03] <San_Tehnik> Hi people)
[09:03] <barnball> can someone help me fix an xterm error?
[09:03] <slytherin> sx66:  You have to restart X server.

[09:05] <slytherin> sx66: which graphics card?
[09:05] <r00tintheb0x> i know that I can do it.
[09:05] <r00tintheb0x> but it'd probably be done without the ubuntu installer.
[09:05] <_Codeman_> So, where are all the iptables gurus?

[09:08] <m0u5e> r00tintheb0x: dell inspiron 1150, ubuntu feisty 7.04
[09:08] <bobsumone> seems to be a problem in the dns because ubuntu wont resolve host names
[09:08] <slytherin> crdlb: is that equivalent to 160kbps?
[09:08] <barnball> google said something about permissions...but where? not sure what i ned to do...
[09:08] <m0u5e> r00tintheb0x: microsoft intellimouse optical usb (the one with the back and forward on each side)
[09:08] <slytherin> crdlb: Oh, you already answered
[09:08] <_Codeman_> r00tintheb0x: these are the commands I was told to use, not sure they worked tho
[09:08] <_Codeman_> http://pastebin.tj-coding.com/18
[09:09] <dedi>  /dev/sda should not be used for I/O buffering. any ideas how to deactivate?
[09:09] <slytherin> crdlb: and where does sound-juicer store all the preferences?
[09:09] <crdlb> slytherin, you can set the encoding profile in the preferences
[09:09] <barnball> xterm: error 32, errno 2: no such file or directory
[09:09] <barnball> reason: get_pty: not enough ptys

[09:12] <bobsumone> ShadowRelic: use samba
[09:12] <ShadowRelic> bobsumone: how?
[09:12] <bobsumone> im assuming your doing ubuntu-windows right?
[09:12] <gabbarinho> interesting stuff - though it's a shame that this 64 bit stuff is currently useful to about .1% of the computing population
[09:13] <bobsumone> shadowrelic: what is your network made up of?
[09:13] <ShadowRelic> i have a live cd, if i can get it working then im going to install it perminatly

[09:14] <ShadowRelic> i had to change my wireless to WEP to connect
[09:14] <slytherin> thirdy: .rar ia archive format
[09:14] <bobsumone> the live cd's you gotta read the docs on how to get in to the admin and check your packs, ect
[09:14] <thirdy> yeah
[09:15] <thirdy> Xarchiver doesn't recognize it
[09:15] <ShadowRelic> ok

[09:15] <hagabaka> i removed an apt source which has a higher version of a package, which i have installed. what command should I use to downgrade the package to the current highest version in the sources?
[09:15] <_Codeman_> thirdy apt-get install rar I think
[09:15] <thirdy> how do I do dat in Terminal?
[09:16] <thirdy> It worked
[09:16] <endo2016> what is the command to destroy logical volumes in LVS volume groups (opposite of lvcreate)

[09:19] <ziroday> !frostwre | thirdy
[09:19] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about frostwre - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[09:19] <boiboi> hi all
[09:20] <boiboi> i need help for grub bootloader
[09:20] <slytherin> coldfront: don't think there is one by default, you can set.
[09:20] <thirdy> !frostwire
[09:20] <gabbarinho> what's the keyboard shortcut for "show desktop"?
[09:20] <ubotu> frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire.  For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire
[09:20] <ziroday> !frostwire | thirdy
[09:20] <ubotu> thirdy: please see above
[09:20] <r00tintheb0x> coldfront, you can use your wheel on your mouse over them
[09:20] <r00tintheb0x> i think.
[09:20] <slytherin> gabbarinho: ctrl+alt+d
[09:20] <thirdy> is it safe?
[09:20] <coldfront> that doesnt work for me root
[09:20] <gabbarinho> thanks
[09:20] <slytherin> boiboi: ask the question
[09:20] <Madpilot> coldfront, Ctrl+Alt+Left|Right Arrow switches desktops
[09:20] <boiboi> is there anyone who can help me with grub?
[09:20] <sx66> slytherin, the command you said to do...I typed it in and restarted the terminal it is running local boot scripts [OK]  and been sitting there for 40 minutes
[09:20] <r00tintheb0x> boiboi, i can.
[09:20] <coldfront> thanks madpilot
[09:21] <rolo> HI
[09:21] <coldfront> thats nice:)
[09:21] <ziroday> hey r00tintheb0x
[09:21] <Madpilot> coldfront, also, hover your mouse over the desktop switcher on the panel, and move your wheel up & down.
[09:21] <boiboi> slytherin: i need set grub to load windows by default, instead of ubuntu, how should i do it?
[09:21] <_Codeman_> what package do I need for a 3Com 3c905b?
[09:21] <slytherin> sx66: what was output of that command?
[09:21] <r00tintheb0x> hi ziroday
[09:21] <_Codeman_> ethernet adapter*
[09:21] <gabbarinho> is it possible to add rar support to archive manager?
[09:21] <ziroday> r00tintheb0x: got ur message
[09:22] <sx66> the one that was to -restart
[09:22] <rococo> coldfront: you can also set "switch to desktop X" in the preferences-->keyboard shortcuts. I use alt+number keys.
[09:22] <_Codeman_> gabbarinho: I think "sudo apt-get install rar" does
[09:22] <_Codeman_> did for me anyway
[09:22] <sx66> slytherin, the one to restart
[09:22] <gabbarinho> I can enter that anywhere in terminal?
[09:22] <slytherin> boiboi: If you know how to open terminal, then from terminal do - gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst - in that file you should find an option for default OS
[09:23] <_Codeman_> yes
[09:23] <gabbarinho> does "sudo" stand for anything?
[09:23] <slytherin> sx66: Is your a laptop?
[09:23] <sx66> yes
[09:23] <_Codeman_> "super use do" I think
[09:23] <boiboi> i am there, someone told me to set the default from 0 to something else, but what is the something else?
[09:23] <_Codeman_> user*
[09:23] <Madpilot> ubotu, sudo | gabbarinho
[09:23] <ubotu> gabbarinho: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:23] <sx66> I hard shut it down slytherin
[09:23] <llol> hello
[09:23] <gabbarinho> ah, i see, thanks
[09:24] <slytherin> sx66: is yours a laptop?
[09:24] <llol> is there anyway to make the default password size smaller?
[09:24] <_Codeman_> kane77, Hey, you helped me with iptables the other day, I'm not sure if I screwed something up but it's not working :P
[09:24] <llol> instead of 6 characters?
[09:24] <sx66> yes slytherin
[09:24] <gabbarinho> wow, codeman - that's magical
[09:24] <boiboi> slytherin:i am scared if i edit the wrong number, then i can't load any OS
[09:25] <gabbarinho> now I am beginning to see why linux is cool
[09:25] <r00tintheb0x> linux...
[09:25] <r00tintheb0x> man, i love it.
[09:25] <slytherin> sx66: is the power plugged in?
[09:25] <llol> amen to that
[09:25] <_Codeman_> I <3 linux too!
[09:25] <llol> LMAO
[09:25] <gabbarinho> so that package was already on my hard drive as part of the ubuntu installation?
[09:25] <sx66> Yes
[09:25] <llol> hey guys is there a way to change the default password size?
[09:25] <gabbarinho> I can see how when I finally learn how to use this thing properly, it'll really be of benefit
[09:25] <kane77> _Codeman_, and what was it? internet sharing?
[09:25] <sx66> slytherin, yes
[09:26] <r00tintheb0x> Who had the GRUB problem?
[09:26] <_Codeman_> kane77: Yes, sorry
[09:26] <slytherin> boiboi: Buddy, you have the list in file itself. Check the number correctly.
[09:26] <slytherin> sx66: try unplugging the power and restart thge machine
[09:26] <boiboi> slytherin: how do i check?
[09:26] <sx66> I had typed in sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[09:27] <kane77> _Codeman_, a second
[09:27] <sx66> irc://irc.freenode.org/slytherin,isnick: I am going to unplug and restart

[09:27] <gabbarinho> man, the built-in PDF reader is fast
[09:27] <gabbarinho> is that available for windows too?
[09:28] <slytherin> boiboi: please don't paste here.
[09:28] <slytherin> boiboi: how many occurances of word 'title' do you see there?
[09:28] <_Codeman_> gabbarinho: Probably not :P
[09:28] <endo2016> anyone know what this error means:dm_task_set_name: Device /dev/mapper/store-media not found?  I get trying to run mkfs.xfs on a LVS logical volume called /dev/store/media ??
[09:28] <gabbarinho> too bad
[09:28] <gabbarinho> well, I am glad I finally gave ubuntu a try
[09:29] <m0u5e> !copypaste
[09:29] <gabbarinho> are there any other packages I can magically unlock?
[09:29] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about copypaste - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:29] <m0u5e> !paste
[09:29] <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)
[09:29] <gabbarinho> er... let me rephrase that question, there must be tons of them
[09:29] <Lilacor> evince is the pdf reader gabbarinho
[09:29] <boiboi> slytherin: 4th one is the windows installation
[09:30] <_Codeman_> gabbarinho: http://packages.ubuntu.com
[09:30] <gabbarinho> thanks, guys
[09:30] <_Codeman_> no problem :D
[09:30] <slytherin> boiboi: ok, so you have to change value of 'default' from 0 to 3
[09:30] <gabbarinho> darn, looks like linux only
[09:30] <kane77> _Codeman_, put this in a .sh file http://pastebin.ca/530794 and chmod +x it... (you should change the eth0/1 for proper interfaces)
[09:31] <n30n1> I need help with samba
[09:31] <Goldboy_Turk> selam
[09:31] <gabbarinho> adobe acrobat reader is one of the most unpleasant things about using windows
[09:31] <gabbarinho> slow to load, resource heavy, crash-prone
[09:31] <gabbarinho> AND it kills babies
[09:31] <kane77> _Codeman_, eth0 is the interface that has internet eht1 is the one that wants :)
[09:31] <boiboi> ok... then save it?
[09:32] <Lilacor> gabbarinho: I don't think it's so bad.
[09:32] <kane77> gabbarinho, and kittens... oh wait Internet Explorer kills kittens...
[09:32] <Lilacor> gabbarinho: maybe you haven't disactivated many of its plug-ins
[09:32] <yemu> hi, anyone uses compiz? i have problems with scale plugin and screencorners - moving the mouse to the corner is not activating scale
[09:32] <slytherin> boiboi: yes. save and restart
[09:32] <yemu> and the option is set in compiz-settings
[09:33] <slytherin> gabbarinho: I agree, Evince is best
[09:33] <ziroday> yemu: use beryl
[09:33] <gabbarinho> possibly - but i always remember it being slow, even in the DOS days
[09:33] <gabbarinho> (and yes, it's IE that kills kittens)
[09:33] <giany911> hello all .. i need some help to config the partitions, i want to install ubuntu :D
[09:33] <TakeOut{u}> gabbarinho, and web developers :P
[09:33] <yemu> ziroday, i know - i also used beryl but now beryl and compiz unite (beryl is moved to compiz) so i decidec to give compiz a try
[09:34] <yemu> with beryl i also have some problems with scale
[09:34] <n30n1> yemu, i'm messing with that stuff too. are you using compiz or beryl manager as the modification tool
[09:34] <Goldboy_Turk> hi
[09:34] <yemu> it stops working from time to time without any reason
[09:35] <kane77> _Codeman_, now you can run this script if you have feeling it doesnt work (remember to run it as root...) alternatively you can put it into rc.local to have it start at very startup (even before anyone logs in)....
[09:35] <yemu> n30n1 - i;m not sure if i understand what you mean
[09:35] <OracleGD> FFFFFFFAAAAAAGGGGGSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
[09:35] <TakeOut{u}> stupid spammer..
[09:36] <_Codeman_> kane77: I think the problem might be that the ethernet card doesn't have drivers atm... not sure
[09:36] <_Codeman_> for the second computer that is
[09:36] <thirdy> Any Media Library for xubuntu?
[09:37] <n30n1> yemu, unless i'm mistaken when you have benrly running with the little red dymond on the top panel, you can choose which program you want to run to make the screen do all the crazy stuff it does with the cube and such
[09:37] <n30n1> yemu, gives you a choice of beryl or compliz and some other one too
[09:38] <yemu> i can choose compiz from beryl manager??
[09:38] <giany911> guys .. im just trying to install ubuntu and i got to the partitioning part, it says the first partition will be mounted in /media/hd3 .. and it is a ntfs partition .. is that how it should be?
[09:38] <n30n1> yemu, you should be able to if you have it installed right. DO you see the red cyrstal thing in your top panel
[09:39] <r00tintheb0x> wee
[09:39] <r00tintheb0x> we
[09:39] <NaNO2x> huge netsplit?
[09:39] <Lilacor> wheee! netjoin!
[09:39] <r00tintheb0x> yep
[09:39] <Lilacor> boiboi: what filesystem is on the usb drive?
[09:39] <yemu> not now, beaause i had started compiz from console withj compiz --replace
[09:39] <boiboi> ntfs
[09:39] <giany911> guys .. im just trying to install ubuntu and i got to the partitioning part, it says the first partition will be mounted in /media/hd3 .. and it is a ntfs partition .. is that how it should be?
[09:40] <n30n1> !samba
[09:40] <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
[09:40] <Lilacor> boiboi: then use ntfs-3g to mount it
[09:40] <_Codeman_> that has got to be the bigest net split I've seen (I normally hang in smaller channels :P)
[09:40] <Kjellviz> anyone got a tip on a good torrent app for ubuntu?  (on windows i prefered utorrent, so something thats similar would be nice=)
[09:40] <gabbarinho> so, inevitable question - is there an emulator for windows programs?
[09:41] <r00tintheb0x> _Codeman_, they were bigger in the late 90's early 00's
[09:41] <Lilacor> Kjellviz: bittorrent itself works okay... azuerus works okay
[09:41] <_Codeman_> gabbarinho: wine
[09:41] <yemu> n30n1 - ok, i can choose compiz or beryl from beryl-settings
[09:41] <yemu> they both work
[09:41] <Lilacor> gabbarinho: what sort of programs?
[09:41] <ziroday> gabbarinho: sorta, theres WINE
[09:41] <gabbarinho> wine? beer? whiskey?
[09:41] <yemu> but scale doesn't work rih compiz
[09:41] <Lilacor> WINE is not an emulator
[09:41] <gabbarinho> no, you drink it, right?
[09:41] <crdlb> yemu, you have to click in the top right
[09:41] <Frogzoo> !wine
[09:41] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[09:41] <gabbarinho> well... it's a TV streaming thing
[09:42] <Lilacor> gabbarinho: I used dosbox to play x-com 2 last weekend
[09:42] <Kjellviz> Lilacor: was using azureus on windows a while, there it was a huge memory hog and also totally jammed my connection, is the linux version any different ? =P
[09:42] <ziroday> Kjellviz: use deluge
[09:42] <gabbarinho> oh, cool - you know, i never even tried that in windows, but i'd like to
[09:42] <_Codeman_> Lilacor: I knew what he was asking... he doesn't know what else to call it...
[09:42] <r00tintheb0x> deluge rocks.
[09:42] <ziroday> !deluge | Kjellviz
[09:42] <ubotu> Kjellviz: deluge is a new Bittorrent client, created using Python and GTK+, intended to bring a native, full-featured client to !GTK environments such as GNOME and Xfce - See http://deluge-torrent.org/ for more information
[09:42] <n30n1> yemu, okay use compiz, beryl-settings and beryl never worked right and everything would freeze or stop working when i did it
[09:42] <Frogzoo> Kjellviz: it's a huge memory hog - java is mostly platform neutral
[09:42] <Lilacor> Kjellviz: try it out
[09:42] <yemu> crldb - ok, i get it, but is it possible to activate scale by just moving?
[09:42] <Ademan> gabbarinho: i used dosbox to play star wars: dark forces a while ago :-) (basically doom with star wars sprites)
[09:42] <MrC> g'morning fellas
[09:42] <r00tintheb0x> torrentflux rocks more
[09:42] <r00tintheb0x> w00t!!!
[09:42] <ziroday> !torrentflux
[09:42] <gabbarinho> yeah! i remember that
[09:42] <crdlb> yemu, no it was patched to behave like that
[09:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about torrentflux - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:42] <Ademan> hey is it possible in linux to "lock" a socket so that no other program can use it?
[09:42] <gabbarinho> and of course there's scummvm
[09:42] <r00tintheb0x> morning MrC
[09:43] <Lilacor> dosbox works quite well IMHO
[09:43] <Kjellviz> ziroday: thanks ill try Deluge =)
[09:43] <yemu> n30n1 - after the last kernel update my freeze problems with beryl dissapeared
[09:43] <gabbarinho> I wouldn't mind playing the ol' wing commander games again
[09:43] <MrC> does anyone knows how to put ubuntu uspalsh back,i've just unistalled ubuntustudio and i would like to have the ubuntu usplash back
[09:43] <thirdy> how do I make the Terminal trasparent like the one shown in wikipedia
[09:43] <yemu> crldb, that's bad for me :-( one more pointless click
[09:44] <n30n1> yemu, oh really. I just voided beryl
[09:44] <Frogzoo> thirdy: try options
[09:44] <n30n1> avoided*
[09:44] <gabbarinho> is wine difficult to use?
[09:44] <_Codeman_> grr I can't seem to get an IP on the second computer
[09:44] <Frogzoo> !appdb | gabbarinho

[09:44] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[09:44] <ziroday> gabbarinho: what programs do u want to run?
[09:44] <yemu> crldb, do you know if it's possible to rotate cube with mouse wheel near the screen edge?
[09:44] <n30n1> _Codeman_, what is the second computer
[09:44] <Frogzoo> gabbarinho: the budgetdedicated repo has a more up to date version, the older versions suck pretty much
[09:45] <gabbarinho> ah
[09:45] <crdlb> yemu, I don't believe so
[09:45] <gabbarinho> I use a streaming program that's available only for windows
[09:45] <n30n1> it is. it's fun too
[09:45] <_Codeman_> it's a 400MHz running xubuntu
[09:45] <_Codeman_> it has a 3Com eth adapter
[09:45] <thirdy> !appdb for xubuntu
[09:45] <n30n1> _Codeman_, trying to get the internal IP on your local network?
[09:45] <gabbarinho> it has a couple of malaysian channels that i use to watch english premiership games, if anybody knows what I am talking about
[09:46] <boiboi> i don't know how to use ntfs-3g to mount it
[09:46] <MrC> Vc  da onde Gabbarinho?
[09:46] <_Codeman_> n30n1: yes, well, internet sharing
[09:46] <yemu> crldb, ok, so i'm swithing back to beryl :-)
[09:46] <gabbarinho> e da onde?
[09:46] <yemu> i'll wait more for the merge to complete
[09:46] <_Codeman_> but I have a router so it would be an internal address
[09:47] <gabbarinho> sorry, I speak only english and pig latin
[09:47] <gabbarinho> actually, i don't even know how to speak pig latin
[09:47] <n30n1> _Codeman_, if you go to the network tools in prefs on that system and run a netstat it gives you the internal ip
[09:47] <n30n1> it will show up as "gateway"
[09:48] <thirdy> Wat's the best GUI for linux?
[09:48] <n30n1> Or i think so off the top of my head
[09:48] <lonwas> got a wierd problem that I've not been able to diagnose properly yet; every now and then an application just dies
[09:48] <lonwas> Running 7.04
[09:48] <gabbarinho> hey, this beryl thing - it runs off genome, and isn't it's only thing, right?
[09:48] <gabbarinho> gnome, rather
[09:48] <lonwas> Anyone got any clue what might be causing it?
[09:49] <lonwas> Might be reading some blogs or whatever in Firefox and suddenly it closes
[09:49] <MrC> So ,could anyone give a clue how to put my usplash back?
[09:49] <Frogzoo> lonwas: how much ram/swap ?
[09:49] <lonwas> 1024 MB RAM and 1.5 GB of swap
[09:50] <MrC> all that
[09:50] <MrC> !!!
[09:50] <boiboi> help! i need help with installing flash player, it say my platform(x86_64) not supported
[09:50] <Frogzoo> lonwas: ff crashes for me very occassionally - not enough to be a problem though
[09:50] <MrC> you can get it with Automatix2
[09:51] <Frogzoo> boiboi: that's because it's not
[09:51] <lonwas> Frogzoo, FF was just an example
[09:51] <magnetron> !flash64 > boiboi   (read private message from ubotu)
[09:51] <lonwas> Cedega dies quite often, as well as other apps
[09:51] <magnetron> !automatix | MrC
[09:51] <ubotu> MrC: 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
[09:51] <MrC> search onIBOI
[09:51] <Frogzoo> lonwas: run memtest for several hours - also check /var/log/messages for evil
[09:51] <MrC> ok
[09:52] <MrC> try then ubuntu-extras
[09:52] <sx66> I run sudo aptitude install beryl emerald-themes, and beryl only configures only during that session, how Do i get it always
[09:52] <magnetron> MrC: he has ubuntu for 64bit
[09:52] <Frogzoo> lonwas: if that doesn't fix it, you maybe will have to consider one of your libraries is corrupt
[09:54] <_Codeman_> Are these normal (other than the last 2, I know those are): eth0, eth1, eth0:avah, eth1:avah, lo, wlan0
[09:54] <r00tintheb0x> _Codeman_, yes
[09:55] <_Codeman_> I can't fore the life of me figure out why I don't have internet on the other computer :/
[09:55] <wyld> anyone there now?
[09:55] <sx66> How do you install beryl?
[09:55] <ziroday> wyld: only 1040
[09:55] <_Codeman_> wyld: Is there a question?

[10:37] <mathstatic> whoa pipelines...
[10:37] <sx66> codeman, sign back on MSN please
[10:37] <r00tintheb0x> No one may know yours... paste it every 15 mins or so and someone will eventually respond.
[10:37] <shane_> _codeman_: I don't want to use samba, I just want my pc to work on this little network with my laptop
[10:37] <crimsun> shane_: your question is short on details.
[10:37] <r00tintheb0x> shane... you want to have no security enabled?
[10:37] <shane_> Okay right here's the full story
[10:37] <RodGo> ok sorry and thank you for your time
[10:37] <sx66> How do I view my old xconf in a live cd to correct the video card?
[10:38] <r00tintheb0x> shane_, i believe if you read the default config file it'll break the file down piece by piece and explain what each option does.
[10:38] <_Codeman_> shane_: dude, samba IS what your looking for... nothing just works!
[10:38] <r00tintheb0x> yes samba is what you want.
[10:38] <r00tintheb0x> i use it at work.

[10:39] <sx66> How do I fix my xconf back to the original from a live cd?
[10:39] <Frogzoo> shane_: quickest way to get started would be to install smb4k and use it to access windows shares
[10:39] <shane_> frogzoo: What is smb4k...

[10:48] <soulfreshner> is there some command / script I can run to find a list of packages that are installed, but >not< part of a package's dependenncies ?
[10:48] <r00tintheb0x> shane_, now you doin over ther.
[10:48] <r00tintheb0x> e
[10:48] <silent_> soulfresher, you mean find useless packages?
[10:48] <mathstatic> Thats what hardware sequencers are for ;)
[10:48] <r00tintheb0x> soulfreshner, most the dependencies get taken out.
[10:49] <sx66> codeman, how do I fix my sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf from a Live CD
[10:49] <r00tintheb0x> sx66, once again, "nvidia-xconfig"
[10:49] <silent_> soulfreshner, deborphan can show what it thinks to be useless packages
[10:49] <soulfreshner> or even the other way around - recursively list the dependencies of a package
[10:50] <r00tintheb0x> that... it can actually do i think.
[10:50] <soulfreshner> how?
[10:50] <_Codeman_> sx66, sudo apt-get install nvidia-xconf
[10:50] <r00tintheb0x> apt-cache depends packagename
[10:50] <boyet> can i install xgl and compiz to my intel chipset?
[10:50] <r00tintheb0x> that'll show you dep's
[10:50] <r00tintheb0x> =)
[10:50] <_Codeman_> then run it like r00tintheb0x said
[10:51] <wols> soulfreshner: apt-rdepends, deborphan, debfoster
[10:51] <wols> soulfreshner: or simply use aptitude to install stuff
[10:51] <J-_> how long does it usually take to get an email to confirm that a PGP key is mine?
[10:51] <wols> boyet: no need for xgl. use composite extension
[10:51] <sx66> codeman, could find packages
[10:51] <sx66> could*not
[10:51] <boyet> how cn i do that

[10:52] <Hug_> hey I've this file "divx611-20060201-gcc4.0.1.tar.gz" on my desktop,, how to install?
[10:52] <r00tintheb0x> i like installing winamp themes on xmms.
[10:52] <r00tintheb0x> it makes it look terific
[10:52] <r00tintheb0x> k
[10:52] <r00tintheb0x> skins, themes
[10:52] <wols> Hug_: why? most/all mediaplyers already support divx
[10:52] <soulfreshner> wols - my problem is not installing stuff, it's uinstalling... for instance if you install a dummy package that depends on a lot of other packages, you can only uninstall the dependencies on by one...
[10:52] <r00tintheb0x> aptitude install vlc
[10:52] <wols> soulfreshner: I told you
[10:53] <boyet> wols my system is only celeron can it work on compiz?
[10:53] <wols> soulfreshner: best long time solution is to use aptitude
[10:53] <wols> boyet: yes
[10:53] <r00tintheb0x> boyet, how fast is your proc?
[10:53] <wols> boyet: what viedodriver do you currently use?
[10:53] <_Codeman_> sx66, oops: sudo apt-get install nvidia-xconfig
[10:53] <boyet> do you hav any idea on how to install compiz?
[10:54] <boyet> well its a shared 3.2ghz intel chipset
[10:54] <r00tintheb0x> sx66, if you "sudo -i" you can just become root and stop sudoing so much. I used to have a problem with sudoing also... but after i learned the I in sudo... it was bliss from then on.
[10:54] <r00tintheb0x> :)
[10:54] <wols> boyet: probably i915 driver
[10:54] <sx66> codeman, not found
[10:54] <noiesmo> sx66, the system you want to fix xorg.conf you should be able to boot into recovey mode then login and then use sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:54] <wols> sx66: section universe
[10:54] <wols> !universe

[10:54] <Huffalump> boyet, you might try #ubuntu-effects where compiz is discussed

[10:55] <r00tintheb0x> thats a l33t r00m n4m3
[10:55] <noiesmo> sx66, if you are running live cd the instructions you are trying with nvidia-xconfig will not work
[10:55] <boyet> where can ifind that network
[10:55] <wols> Hug_: that is noz a codec problem. it's video overlay (viedo driver) problem
[10:55] <Huffalump> boyet, you would type the command:  /join #ubuntu-effects
[10:55] <wols> boyet: what network?
[10:55] <Hug_> wols I see
[10:55] <r00tintheb0x> chicka bow wow
[10:56] <wols> Hug_: what driver do you use, what videocard do you have?
[10:56] <ncd> what is "firefox Gnome Support" about?
[10:56] <Huffalump> sounds like gnome support for firefox

[10:56] <thirdy> Make sure you don't have another window manager running.
[10:56] <r00tintheb0x> Hug_, you need to use the nv module instead of the nvidia one.
[10:56] <thirdy> how do I make my window manager stop?
[10:57] <r00tintheb0x> for it is borqued.
[10:57] <Hug_> wols I dunno it comes with the motherboard
[10:57] <sx66> how do I run as root?
[10:57] <wols> Hug_: that's noz whaz I asked

[10:58] <Hug_> wols so what do you mean?
[10:58] <r00tintheb0x> but i'll sudo to restart the network or something like that.
[10:58] <sx66> sudo I does NOT WORK
[10:58] <r00tintheb0x> im going to go smoke a cig...brb
[10:58] <wols> Hug_: what I wrote. driver and videocard
[10:58] <r00tintheb0x> no no
[10:58] <r00tintheb0x> "sudo -i"
[10:58] <r00tintheb0x> one space
[10:58] <r00tintheb0x> lower case.
[10:58] <wols> sx66: then you are SOL. boot in single user mode
[10:58] <wols> sx66: and fix your sudo
[10:58] <_doswell> word
[10:59] <Huffalump> type more in all caps
[10:59] <Huffalump> that'll fix it
[10:59] <sx66> lol

[10:59] <_Codeman_> lmao
[10:59] <flowingfire> Hi there everybody.  Does anybody know how to get Beryl working with nvidia-glx-new?  I just tried four times and had four disasters, so I figured it would be best to ask.. (There used to be directions on the Beryl site, but the wiki got bot-hacked.
[10:59] <_Codeman_> he's in live cd... does it work in live?
[11:00] <Kjellviz> anyone have a idea why i dont have all the buttons in gnomemaker thats shown in this pic; http://www.taimila.com/images/orange-look/gnomebaker_shot.png ?

[11:04] <TheMoebius> Ive set my LD_LIBRARY_PATH in .bashrc so it works when i start something from a terminal but not when i start a program from the main menu or a run prompt or something? I do i set environment variables systemwide?

[11:04] <r00tintheb0x> now its MY turn to ask a question
[11:04] <Ace_NoOne> Huffalump: that said something about NDISWRAPPER - but being a Linux newbie I'm not sure what that means
[11:04] <wols> soulfreshner: dpkg -l
[11:04] <r00tintheb0x> !!!
[11:04] <Gothfunc> wols: what do you mean?

[11:04] <soulfreshner> ta wols
[11:04] <wols> Gothfunc: that currently the London timezone is really GMT+1.
[11:04] <Gothfunc>  change our
[11:04] <Huffalump> Ace_NoOne, *if* that is accurate, then it means you'd have a little extra work to do.
[11:04] <Gothfunc> oops
[11:05] <soulfreshner> Enselic_ - huh? autocompletion for what?
[11:05] <Enselic_> soulfreshner: nm
[11:05] <iwcd> can anyone tell be why kftpgrabber stalls files im trying to download please
[11:05] <Gothfunc> wols: well we DO have daylight saving
[11:05] <Gothfunc> wols: so it's incorrect
[11:05] <Ace_NoOne> Huffalump: complicated? where cna I find information
[11:05] <Enselic_> iwcd: why not use wget?
[11:05] <wols> Gothfunc: yes. and GMT has no dalylight saving. but UK does
[11:05] <wols> GMT doesn't follow DST
[11:05] <wols> Gothfunc: and no it's not incorrect
[11:05] <r00tintheb0x> ok, im making a samba server that is going to bind to the windows active directory server using winbindd. This samba server is also going to be our NIS and NFS server. For some reason, i can pull users and groups from the AD with gwbinfo... but i can tconnect to samba shares through the AD accounts.
[11:05] <r00tintheb0x> It gives me some funky error.
[11:06] <Gothfunc> wols: this really is the first i've heard of this.  i'm not sure it's right at all.  looking it up now
[11:06] <iwcd> Enselic - i need a pret client - is that one?
[11:06] <Huffalump> Ace_NoOne, I would try a google for ndiswrapper yourwifimodelname or else 'setting up ndiswrapper' which should return some instructions that'll glaze your eyes over
[11:06] <Ace_NoOne> ok, thanks Huffalump
[11:06] <thirdy_> exut
[11:06] <thirdy_> exit
[11:06] <thirdy_> exit
[11:06] <thirdy_> quit
[11:06] <r00tintheb0x> lol
[11:06] <Huffalump> haha
[11:06] <r00tintheb0x> laul@you
[11:06] <thirdy_> sorry
[11:06] <Enselic_> iwcd: pret?
[11:06] <r00tintheb0x> durtie durrrr
[11:06] <wols> Ace_NoOne: what chip is on your wireless card?
[11:06] <kadaz> how do I install vendetta-linux-ia32-installer.sh
[11:06] <Enselic_> iwcd: wget downloads files from the internet
[11:07] <Ace_NoOne> wols: I have no idea; it's an ASUS WL-138g
[11:07] <r00tintheb0x> sh vendetta-linux-ia32-installer.sh
[11:07] <thirdy_> cd
[11:07] <r00tintheb0x> just like that.
[11:07] <r00tintheb0x> :D
[11:07] <wols> Ace_NoOne: usb, pci, pcmcia?
[11:07] <kadaz> I did that but i couldnt make dir root/bin
[11:07] <Ace_NoOne> wols: PCI
[11:07] <r00tintheb0x> okay...
[11:07] <wols> Ace_NoOne: lspci
[11:07] <thirdy_> how do I return to Terminal from bitchx?
[11:07] <Ace_NoOne> wols: huh?
[11:07] <r00tintheb0x> you need to make a directory to put this in... and be root when you're doing it.
[11:07] <iwcd> Enselic - ill give it a go ta
[11:07] <wols> Ace_NoOne: run it
[11:07] <wols> thirdy_: /exit
[11:07] <r00tintheb0x> when you run that sh command, you have to sudo it or sudo su -
[11:07] <Ace_NoOne> wols: oh, I haven
[11:07] <Huffalump> wols: he's not in Ubuntu yet
[11:07] <thirdy_> wols, thanx!
[11:07] <Ace_NoOne> 't installed ubuntu yet
[11:08] <Enselic_> iwcd: wget http://www.somed.com/some/file.zip
[11:08] <r00tintheb0x> thirdy, i forget man.
[11:08] <r00tintheb0x>  /?
[11:08] <r00tintheb0x> i think will bring up a command list
[11:08] <r00tintheb0x> or the F keys
[11:08] <Ace_NoOne> wols: I wanted to sort out the WLAN issue before installing Ubuntu (because otherwise, I'd be cut off)
[11:08] <kadaz> ok?? so make the dir put the file in the directory run with with sh then  sudo it?
[11:08] <_Codeman_> so if my iptables is correct (which I'm NOT swearing to) and the cards seem to work ok... why else can I not get internet conn sharing?
[11:08] <r00tintheb0x> no
[11:08] <TheMoebius> how do I set my CLASSPATH so it worked in on things not launched from a terminal session?
[11:08] <r00tintheb0x> once you move it... then "sudo sh vendetta-linux-ia32-installer.sh"
[11:08] <r00tintheb0x> or
[11:08] <r00tintheb0x> sudo ./vendetta-linux-ia32-installer.sh
[11:09] <r00tintheb0x> will probably work.
[11:09] <abhinay> how to transfer data to Nokia N72 ? help ?
[11:09] <Huffalump> Ace_NoOne, when I google for "ubuntu wl-138g" I get results that show it works.
[11:09] <Ace_NoOne> Huffalump: I just found http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=80406&highlight=wl-138g
[11:09] <r00tintheb0x> lol wth
[11:09] <Ace_NoOne> Huffalump: are there any drawbacks in using NDISWRAPPER (as I understand it, it uses the Windows drivers!?)
[11:10] <r00tintheb0x> that was obscure
[11:10] <RodGo> r00tintheb0x: hi are you there?
[11:10] <r00tintheb0x> yeah, its windows.
[11:10] <r00tintheb0x> yeah RodGo whats crackin.
[11:10] <RodGo> i solved my problems
[11:10] <Gothfunc> wols: london is always GMT :|
[11:10] <r00tintheb0x> see!!!

[11:10] <RodGo> :(
[11:10] <strikeOne> hi
[11:10] <r00tintheb0x> well, the important thing is you solved it.
[11:10] <wols> Gothfunc: no
[11:10] <r00tintheb0x> :)
[11:10] <r00tintheb0x> what?!
[11:10] <r00tintheb0x> lol
[11:10] <Huffalump> Ace_NoOne, the main issue is a philosophical one.  If you are opposed to non-Free software, then you wouldn't use ndiswrapper.
[11:10] <RodGo> i cant open files
[11:10] <wols> Gothfunc: but suit yourself
[11:10] <RodGo> i recovered my mimes
[11:10] <r00tintheb0x> Thats ok!
[11:10] <r00tintheb0x> :D
[11:10] <Ace_NoOne> Huffalump: yeah, I know :) but short of buying a new card...
[11:11] <Gothfunc> wols: ok, i'd be willing to accept a contradiction, but do you have any evidence?
[11:11] <Ezep_Notebook> how could i disable the blocked ttys in X?

[11:11] <r00tintheb0x> sorry RodGo, im getting delirious

[11:11] <strikeOne> were there any changes or is it down?
[11:11] <RodGo> when i click on a pdf or image file for example
[11:11] <RodGo> y get this dialog box
[11:11] <Huffalump> Ace_NoOne, then the pragmatic road takes you to using ndiswrapper which makes use of the existing Windows blob... and voila!
[11:11] <r00tintheb0x> ok
[11:11] <r00tintheb0x> whats it say
[11:11] <Ace_NoOne> Huffalump: so performance is just the same? also, I hardly understand what this guy is saying about getting it to work: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=80406

[11:14] <BrokenSeo> hi all, there is a way to add tags to files via beagle?
[11:14] <Ezep_Notebook> how could i disable the blocked ttys in X, making them available to access?
[11:14] <RodGo> its wear, i just took the screen and i can open the png file
[11:14] <RodGo> but i cant open the other files :s
[11:14] <Gothfunc> Huffalump: so?
[11:15] <Huffalump> cyanid3, I see answers when I use Google...
[11:15] <r00tintheb0x> cyanid3_, what are the permissions on it?
[11:15] <Huffalump> Gothfunc, just adding to the discussion.
[11:15] <Gothfunc> Huffalump: P
[11:15] <r00tintheb0x> wait
[11:15] <Gothfunc> :P
[11:15] <r00tintheb0x> lol
[11:15] <BrokenSeo> no way?
[11:15] <cyanid3_> permissions on what?
[11:15] <_Codeman_> Gothfunc: Yes, it is geographical, but w/o DST... factor that in it GMT+1 no matter what!
[11:15] <r00tintheb0x> sorry... im tired. try a shutdown -h now
[11:15] <r00tintheb0x> nothing cyanid3_ i was trippin.
[11:15] <viller> stefg: what help do I get from that?
[11:15] <boyet> where can i find a list of application software for dapper
[11:15] <cyanid3_> ok
[11:15] <Huffalump> laced cigis
[11:15] <Ezep_Notebook> hey, could anyone help me?
[11:16] <_Codeman_> why it no worky?!?!?!?!?!?!
[11:16] <r00tintheb0x> if that doesn't work... then you'll have to try init 6 or init 0
[11:16] <viller> stefg: it has no information on my problem (Misc section 10)
[11:16] <Huffalump> it needs more punctuation marks!!!
[11:16] <r00tintheb0x> _Codeman_, cause you said worky.
[11:16] <r00tintheb0x> HA!
[11:16] <r00tintheb0x> :D
[11:16] <cyanid3_> r00tintheb0x, shutdown -h just gives me usage instructions
[11:16] <r00tintheb0x> no
[11:16] <Gothfunc> _Codeman_, wols: ok, so the effective time is GMT+1, but the timezone is GMT.
[11:16] <_Codeman_> Huffalump: will it work better that way?
[11:16] <r00tintheb0x> "shutdown -h now"
[11:16] <cyanid3_> and init 6 gives init: timeout opening/writing control channel /dev/initctl
[11:16] <stefg> viller: if you read it you will be able to write a proper bash-script (and ignore the #toc mark, scroll up to the index)
[11:16] <BrokenSeo> boyet, search "packages.ubuntu" on google
[11:17] <Huffalump> _Codeman_ only if you get the secret combination right.
[11:17] <r00tintheb0x> cyanid3_, have you googled at all?
[11:17] <_Codeman_> Gothfunc: sounds good to me :P
[11:17] <Gothfunc> because GMT doesn't move from the UK
[11:17] <cyanid3_> google what? :|
[11:17] <Gothfunc> to iceland :s
[11:17] <r00tintheb0x> timeout opening/writing control channel /dev/initctl
[11:17] <_Codeman_> r00tintheb0x: true dat
[11:17] <boyet> brokenseo can i use dapper to setup internet cafe?
[11:17] <r00tintheb0x> its all over the internet.

[11:17] <viller> stefg: I only want this very simple thing. I don't want to learn bash scripting for that
[11:17] <Huffalump> cyanid3, google "/dev/initctl" and find answers
[11:17] <BrokenSeo> sorry?
[11:17] <cyanid3_> thank you

[11:19] <_Codeman_> Seriously, I can't figure out why my ICS isn't working, iptables should be good, computers are hooked up and showing green...
[11:19] <r00tintheb0x> lobster
[11:19] <boyet> im planning to setup an internet cafe business in our home and almost all of the cafes here are using ms xp how about to break the tradition
[11:19] <r00tintheb0x> ics? what do you have 2 nics?
[11:19] <r00tintheb0x> or  yeah.
[11:19] <r00tintheb0x> :)
[11:19] <Huffalump> boyet, that's an excellent idea.
[11:19] <r00tintheb0x> :)
[11:19] <r00tintheb0x> awesome!
[11:19] <_Codeman_> 2 computers completely
[11:19] <r00tintheb0x> boyet, i think you'll do fine!
[11:20] <viller> stefg: how the fuck do I look it up if the chapters are about things I don't need
[11:20] <boyet> well am planning to set a 10 unit client and 1 unit server
[11:20] <r00tintheb0x> make the server SUPER uber!
[11:20] <RodGo> r00tintheb0x: i now understand that error, it tells me to rename the file so i can open it
[11:20] <RodGo> when i rename it i can open it
[11:20] <RodGo> why is that?
[11:20] <r00tintheb0x> ok RodGo
[11:20] <r00tintheb0x> cause its already there?
[11:20] <r00tintheb0x> i duno
[11:20] <kadaz> r00tintheb0x not working
[11:20] <kadaz> /root/bin does not exist!
[11:20] <kadaz> Create it? [yn]  read: 70: arg count
[11:20] <kadaz> Where would you like to install the Vendetta executable? [/root/bin]  read: 70: arg count
[11:20] <boyet> 5units will be dappers and 5units xp 9because of this guys gamers)
[11:20] <_Codeman_> r00tintheb0x: 2 different computers
[11:20] <r00tintheb0x> /root/bin?!
[11:21] <RodGo> oh sorry, thank you for your help i will leave now
[11:21] <r00tintheb0x> what are you installing kadaz ?
[11:21] <thirdy> wols, finally
[11:21] <kadaz> vendetta online
[11:21] <r00tintheb0x> what is that, a game?
[11:21] <kadaz> yah
[11:21] <boyet> the server wud be of course dapper?
[11:21] <r00tintheb0x> move it to /usr/local/games
[11:21] <r00tintheb0x> and do it there.
[11:22] <kadaz> k
[11:22] <r00tintheb0x> make it /usr/local/games/vendetta/bin
[11:22] <r00tintheb0x> make it /usr/local/games/vendetta/sbin
[11:22] <r00tintheb0x> so on and so forth, it probably wont ask you all that but you get the idea right?
[11:22] <boyet> but i kinda woried for the lifespan support of dapper
[11:22] <stefg> !LTS
[11:22] <ubotu> LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server.
[11:22] <kadaz> yup
[11:22] <Gothfunc> ok so it labels the timezone BST (GMT+1), but we use GMT as our timezone, not BST.  i think that is where the confusion is :o
[11:22] <r00tintheb0x> !LMNOP
[11:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about lmnop - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:22] <Andeh> Hey
[11:22] <Andeh> can anyone help me with fluxbox?
[11:23] <r00tintheb0x> sorry, tourettes syndrome.
[11:23] <r00tintheb0x> mmm fluxbox.
[11:23] <thirdy> me too
[11:23] <Gothfunc> i think it needs clarification, like BST (Summertime GMT+1)
[11:23] <r00tintheb0x> what do you need help with Andeh
[11:23] <thirdy> how do I start fluxbox?>
[11:23] <r00tintheb0x> startx
[11:23] <r00tintheb0x> hopefully
[11:24] <Andeh> r00tintheb0x: I just uninstalled my self-compiled version of fluxbox and used the ubuntu repository one instead (apt-get) and now when i go to Fluxbox Menu, System Styles and User Styles are both empty and i'm stuck with a crappy gray one!
[11:25] <thirdy> Andeh, how did you gow to Fluxbox Menu?
[11:25] <Andeh> I went to the fluxbox page and downloaded the styles and copied them into /usr/share/fluxbox/styles and the menu still doesnt show them
[11:25] <boyet> i cannot find softwares for cs and etc. games...so for the meantime ill use some the units msxp...but if time comes game dev supports online games then that will be the time ill migrate everything to ubuntu
[11:25] <Andeh> thirdy: I right clicked the desktop
[11:25] <shiftplusone> hey, does anyone here know about/use twin?
[11:26] <wols> shiftplusone: what is twin?
[11:26] <Huffalump> boyet, you could also introduce them to "new" games like Savage or any thing interesting you find on happypenguin.org
[11:26] <shiftplusone> terminal/command-line window manager type thing
[11:27] <Huffalump> boyet, Savage 2 is perfect for Ubuntu @ net cafes
[11:27] <Enselic_> iwcd: wget url
[11:27] <shiftplusone> wols: http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/utils/twin
[11:27] <Andeh> r00tintheb0x: ?
[11:28] <boyet> well in cebu were 10yrs late in tech...were stoneage yet
[11:28] <buggy> hay there - new kubuntu distro loaded here - can't remember how i added kubuntu channel under the ubuntu channel - ant ideas?? using xchat
[11:28] <Huffalump> boyet, its the same in most net cafes in eastern europe
[11:28] <shiftplusone> ok, can someone tell me how to load a mouse driver while in text mode?
[11:28] <cyanid3_> ended up restarting by doing reboot -f :\
[11:29] <Huffalump> boyet, I think ubuntu is perfect for a net cafe.  People play the games they know.  CS isn't *incredibly* better than the half-dozen games just like it.
[11:29] <boyet> really? ill surf the savage
[11:29] <boyet> well where can i find online games for ubuntu
[11:29] <Huffalump> boyet, it's like IM.  some countries use mostly ICQ, other mostly Yahoo, others mostly Google, others mostly.... you see?
[11:29] <BrokenSeo> can i tag file with beagle and then be able to search for tag? can i use personalized tag?
[11:29] <_Codeman_> buggy: /join #kubuntu
[11:29] <_Codeman_> that what your looking for?
[11:29] <GeorgeAScott> i know it got a lot of nay saying, but i'm trying to use ubuntu as a router.. and i'm having trouble with the dhcp server
[11:30] <Huffalump> boyet, I dig through HappyPenguin to find games.  Some games are super lame, some are fantastic.  You have to dig because it's not well organized, but there is a huge amount of information.
[11:30] <buggy> yes - but being a clutz - can't remember how i did it ... :o(
[11:31] <GeorgeAScott> bad subnet/mask combination is the error i'm getting
[11:31] <_Codeman_> buggy: what are you trying to do, I'm not sure I follow you?
[11:32] <boyet> ok then ill try to setup alll my pc to dapper but then xp will be always on standy if complaints from clients flooding my floor
[11:32] <Huffalump> boyet, besides you can play WoW on Ubuntu :D
[11:32] <buggy> _coleman - sorry - will try to make clear - can't remember how i added kubuntu channel using xchat
[11:33] <wolfAlfa> hello, I'm searching for the pam-devel package in ubuntu, does anyone know it's name please
[11:33] <buggy> opps codeman
[11:33] <sleepster> I used apt to download Beryl and now I am wondering how I "activate" it
[11:34] <Huffalump> buggy, are you talking about adding a setting to run on start up?
[11:34] <boyet> ok what about feisty is it stable enough to load on my cafe?
[11:34] <_Codeman_> to join #kubuntu type "/join #kubuntu" to leave it type "/part kubuntu"
[11:34] <Huffalump> sleepster, the best way is to join #ubuntu-effects
[11:34] <stefg> !beryl | sleepster
[11:34] <ubotu> sleepster: Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[11:34] <Huffalump> boyet, I was fighting the urge to yell "dont use dapper!" but instead use edgy or feisty, yes.
[11:35] <_Codeman_> buggy: Unless you mean as an autojoin channel when you connect
[11:35] <boyet> y dont use
[11:35] <buggy> huffalump - yes would like to have xchat start with kubuntu channel instead of unbuntu - so i'am in right channel for questions etc...
[11:35] <sleepster> thanks
[11:35] <shiftplusone> hmm... is there a way to make something start itself in say tty2 and boot the rest as normal?
[11:36] <Huffalump> boyet, sure Dapper is the safe route, but I would test edgy or feisty to see if they give you trouble.  Is your hardware homogenous?  Most netcafes have a huge assortment of mixed boxes, which could make that testing a little tougher.  But I'd slap a new version so you get the latest firefox and other software to impress your clientele, slap on Beryl for sure, and some other whatnots.
[11:36] <buggy> _codeman - yes to that
[11:36] <boyet> ya ur right ill let them see eye candy!
[11:36] <_Codeman_> buggy: xchat->networklist then select freenode
[11:37] <_Codeman_> click edit
[11:37] <boyet> but what about the lifespan support for feisty
[11:37] <robyn> !list
[11:37] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[11:37] <_Codeman_> go to "Channels to join:" and put "#kubuntu"
[11:37] <GeorgeAScott> okay... resolved the issue with the dhcp server starting.. i think.. now dns isn't working
[11:37] <stefg> boyet: for a dedicated server (an 'appliance' used as proxy, gateway, fileserver) dapper might be the better choice. on the desktop you'll have trouble getting the latest version of important software. dapper has Firefox 1.5 and OOo 2.0 by default
[11:38] <Huffalump> buggy, in your menu bar, go to XChat, then Network List, select the particular network you want to modify (freenode) and click the edit button... there you will see the script area to set the /join #whatever channels
[11:38] <buggy> _codeman - thx being - tired an crazy - got it going - thx so much
[11:38] <Huffalump> oh sure _Codeman_ beat me by 10 minutes, hahaha
[11:39] <stefg> boyet: and don't waste your time with edgy (to give an honest opinion)
[11:39] <_Codeman_> lol
[11:39] <_Codeman_> Huffalump: I do my best :P
[11:39] <boyet> so then ill wait feisty to arrive this month
[11:39] <Huffalump> boyet, what do you mean to wait for feisty?  For what it's worth, I had great experiences with Edgy.
[11:40] <buggy> _codeman - need to make a log - so when i do a reinstall will remember - allot of stuff to resetup ya know.... getting better though  :o)
[11:40] <_Codeman_> buggy: Yeah, I completely understand :)
[11:41] <boyet> i ordered feisty last month on ubuntu homepage and i dunno for how long this wud arrive in cebu
[11:41] <Huffalump> ah.
[11:41] <robyn> aiuto
[11:41] <Huffalump> boyet, no bandwidth to just download?  surely a net cafe must...
[11:42] <buggy> _Codeman - reloded from kubuntu - edgy to newest fiesty - just keeps getting beter 'n' better huh?
[11:42] <robyn> lista
[11:42] <robyn> !list
[11:42] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[11:42] <_Codeman_> yeah, I'm liking Ubuntu quite well :P
[11:42] <boyet> ya but dont know how to burn an iso image...any i ordered 3pcs of feisty...wud that be enough to install on 11units including the server?
[11:42] <_Codeman_> Well, I use Kubuntu too lol
[11:43] <Q_Continuum> So...sometime starting Monday I'm expecting my Ubuntu-loaded Dell to show up... :D
[11:43] <Ninjubuntu> im a bit busy at the moment, but moving from windows to ubuntu was the best fricken decision i ever made
[11:43] <boyet> how about kubuntu feisty that too is coming
[11:43] <Huffalump> boyet, 1 CD is enough to install on all the clients.  the server is a different ISO.
[11:44] <buggy> I have ubuntu as another session start - runs allot faster then kde kubuntu - but like the look of kubuntu better - each to his i guess....
[11:44] <Huffalump> boyet, once you install feisty, you can very easily add KDE (kubuntu) or XFCE or any others with some simple line commands which will automagically download & install that stuff.  very easy.
[11:44] <knoeki[DSS] > buggy: hrm... there where some things in KDE I diddn't like..
[11:45] <knoeki[DSS] > buggy: for example, I couldn't configure my taskbar/quickstart bar properly.
[11:45] <knoeki[DSS] > buggy: I could get 2, but one of them would be waaaaaaaay too big... and can't make it smaller =/
[11:45] <boyet> ok then i'm sold to your opinion hoping thats an honest
[11:45] <buggy> yea i know - i'm finding there are more apps that are better for listening to podcasts - burning etc etc
[11:45] <knoeki[DSS] > so Gnome it is for me.
[11:46] <Phylo> I'm trying to burn my newly downloaded Fiesty image, using InfraRecorder, and I'm getting the blue screen of death everytime I try to scan devices!  (including when I run it)
[11:46] <buggy> thats an easy one - rt/clk on task bar and ca resize
[11:46] <Huffalump> boyet, once you download an ISO file, you just burn it to CD  (like on Windows, you know how you probably use Nero?  that's what you do with an ISO)
[11:47] <Akuma_> whats the command to get partition usage info again? like space used?
[11:47] <Huffalump> buggy, and don't forget ktorrent :D
[11:47] <Phylo> are there any other free .iso burning programs that work (not like this did) on Windows ME?
[11:47] <knoeki[DSS] > buggy: problem is, you can only resize ONE of them... the other will be bigger... or I just couldn't find the option.
[11:47] <buggy> huffalump - nero has a debian out - have you seen it ? it's real nice
[11:47] <Huffalump> buggy, nope... but I will check it out now that you mention it
[11:47] <buggy> yea i use strickly fiefox
[11:47] <Huffalump> Phylo, you have questions about Windows?  This might be the wrong place.
[11:48] <ubuntuMan> wats the best software to burn dvd/cd in ubuntu
[11:48] <SlimeyPete> k3b
[11:48] <_Codeman_> Huffalump: "automagically" that's an awesome word :P
[11:48] <Huffalump> cromulent, indeed!
[11:49] <pai> i want to remove secondlife from my feisty notebook. its installed in a folder on desktop. how do i remove it/
[11:49] <buggy> yup yup the list goes on an on - maybe i'll get tired of it by end of month and go to ubuntu - ha
[11:49] <Phylo> Huffalump:  kinda, but my issue is with burning an Ubuntu .iso image using a program recommended by the ubuntu site
[11:49] <boyet> ya lately i burned a downloaded feisty but a waist the cd i burned wont autostart
[11:49] <boyet> i set to a minimum speed still it wont creat a bootable cd
[11:50] <ubuntuMan> boyet: U boot from cd or harddisk on ur bios
[11:51] <buggy> huffalump - check at the nero site they have a free beta that works great or a paid one for $20 bucks - pretty cheap compared to windoze one that's $70 bucks
[11:51] <emoo> i dont get the title bar on apps and minimize/close buttons when i run beryl, i use to just run emerald to get them but its not doing anything...just my system ? or am i missing something
[11:51] <Mandarinn> hi
[11:51] <boyet> ya i tried to boot first the cd then the hd still i cant load the disk...maybe a problem to the cd i used..
[11:51] <pai> i want to remove secondlife from my feisty notebook. its installed in a folder on desktop. how do i remove it/
[11:51] <Mandarinn> hi
[11:51] <Mandarinn> all
[11:52] <Mandarinn> any one from Australia?
[11:52] <Huffalump> Phylo, just google for 'free cd burner' and I saw some software free for 30 days... that's long enough to burn and switch to Ubuntu :D
[11:52] <TheMoebius> hey for some reason changes I make in beryl-manager arn't taking effect and I can't change themes with emerald theme manager....
[11:52] <Huffalump> boyet, out of curiosity, did you try on another machine?  I trust your test machine is set to boot from CD first in the bios...
[11:53] <Huffalump> TheMoebius, try #ubuntu-effects
[11:53] <buggy> well guys going over to kubuntu channel - will probably be back before the month's out ..... cya
[11:53] <buggy> thx again
[11:53] <Huffalump> thanks buggy
[11:53] <boyet> ya i tried
[11:53] <Phylo> it's all for XP
[11:53] <_Codeman_> cya buggy
[11:54] <boyet> but maybe everything will be solved once feisty knocks my door
[11:54] <_Codeman_> well guys I think I'm gonna go to bed, night all
[11:54] <buggy> huffalump - i was a big fan of nero when i used windoze - if u see me around again let me know how u like it....
[11:54] <buggy> later
[11:54] <boyet> huffalump what time in your place mine is 6:00pm night
[11:54] <Huffalump> Phylo, you might be the last human still suffering with Windows ME.   try adding "windows me" to your search.  I still find software that says XP and ME on it.
[11:55] <Huffalump> boyet, 1p
[11:55] <Huffalump> buggy, same for me so I am checking it out
[11:55] <Huffalump> boyet, I am in Romania
[11:55] <buggy> ok great - sure you'll like it
[11:55] <Phylo> I was hoping not to do this bloody search again.  Yes, I might be the last human suffering ME, (I'm TRYING to ditch it!)
[11:56] <Huffalump> Phylos, even Nero says it works on ME
[11:56] <Phylo> I spent an hour last time (when I got Edgy Eft), I found Cheetah CD Burner, which worked
[11:56] <Geoffrey> ...
[11:56] <Phylo> but it was a 30 day trial
[11:56] <Huffalump> Phlylo, it looks like they all work on ME
[11:56] <Phylo> and it ran out
[11:56] <Geoffrey> Phylo
[11:57] <Huffalump> buggy, oooooo 64-bit! :D
[11:57] <boyet> huffalump tnx very much for everything i am sold out to ubuntu and it rocks my world,,truly
[11:57] <Huffalump> Geoffrey, have you tried #australia on DALnet ?
[11:57] <lynxz> SlimeyPete: Thanks for your help yesterday regarding my DVD-drive. After removing it from an EIDE slot and connecting to a regular IDE-slot it worked like a charm.
[11:57] <boyet> more power to ya all huffalump
[11:57] <Huffalump> boyet, good luck with the new business!
[11:57] <SlimeyPete> lynxz: ah, right

[11:59] <Geoffrey> whats the website
[11:59] <Dabaconboy> hey guys just having a bit of trouble with the net on ubu at the mo. my ethernet card is not recognised by 6.06.1 i have tried sudo ifconfig eth0 up however this doesnt come up with much. any help appreciated
[11:59] <Chai_Sangeen> im trying to make freevo launch at startup, im using ubuntu feisty with command line install and no gdm.  I start freevo with "freevo -fs" command. can anyone help?
[12:00] <stefg> Dabaconboy: does lspci | grep net come up with something?
[12:00] <Dabaconboy> erm not tried it yet
[12:00] <john> hi
[12:01] <Dabaconboy> but ubu is on this machine so id have to go to try it
[12:01] <john> i am having huge issues with my radeon x1600 and fglrx
[12:01] <john> i can not get it to work
[12:01] <john> i am stuck in vesa
[12:01] <Huffalump> john, you want to join #ubuntu-effects
[12:01] <john> wehn i try the drivers from the ati website i have to go back to vesa
[12:01] <john> they will be able to help me?
[12:01] <Huffalump> yessir
[12:01] <roryy> Chai_Sangeen: perhaps you could add that command to /etc/rc.local?
[12:02] <wols> !ati | john
[12:02] <john> thanks
[12:02] <ubotu> john: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:02] <Chai_Sangeen> roryy: i didn't try that...
[12:02] <wols> Chai_Sangeen: ~./xsession
[12:02] <stefg> Dabaconboy: so to help people help you find out what your hardware is. lspci list all devices on the bus, 'lsmod' all loaded modules. Check if theres a corresponding kernel module for your hardware loaded first
[12:02] <wols> Chai_Sangeen: ~/.xsession
[12:02] <Chai_Sangeen> wols: okay let me check the file out...
[12:02] <john> thanks
[12:03] <mwe> in /etc/networks I have link-local 169.254.0.0. I don't know how it got there. Don't you think it's safe to delete that?
[12:03] <Dabaconboy> stefg: ok then il try that thanks
[12:03] <RainCT> Hi
[12:03] <john> i tried using the guide here:  http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Feisty_Installation_Guide
[12:03] <john> didnt work
[12:03] <john> so ill try this one
[12:03] <RainCT> how can I see a list of all partitions in the terminal?
[12:03] <Chai_Sangeen> wols: okay file is open do i just add that command ?
[12:04] <stefg> RainCT: sudo fdsik -l
[12:04] <wols> RainCT: cat /proc/partitions
[12:04] <stefg> wols: fdsik -l is just prettier :-)
[12:04] <stefg> fdisk*
[12:04] <wols> stefg: will that display partitions on all disks?
[12:04] <stefg> yup
[12:05] <roryy> Chai_Sangeen: i believe ~/.xsession will only be of use if you have X installed
[12:05] <RainCT> ok thanks stefg wols
[12:05] <Chai_Sangeen> roryy: i have openbox
[12:06] <Chai_Sangeen> roryy: but at startup it just goes to the command line...
[12:06] <graveson1> where can i find info on configuring ssh
[12:06] <wols> roryy: freevo depends on X
[12:06] <roryy> Chai_Sangeen: so what do you want to happen at startup?
[12:06] <wols> Chai_Sangeen: install a displaymanager
[12:07] <Chai_Sangeen> roryy: wols i just want freevo to start at boot time...
[12:07] <stefg> graveson1: man ssh ? :-)
[12:07] <wols> graveson1: /usr/share/doc/ssh/
[12:07] <sacater> is that a command?
[12:08] <Chai_Sangeen> roryy: wols this is really minimal install and id like to leave it that way.. only required software.
[12:09] <wols> Chai_Sangeen: answer roryy's question
[12:10] <Myrtti> root?
[12:10] <lello> salve
[12:10] <lello> non so come funziona qualcuno mi potrebbe spiegare
[12:10] <wols> pax vobiscum
[12:10] <Myrtti> !it | lello
[12:10] <ubotu> lello: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[12:10] <Chai_Sangeen> wols:  already did.... "Chai_Sangeen: roryy: wols i just want freevo to start at boot time..."
[12:10] <Phylo> ffs...
[12:11] <ndee> hey there, I'm looking for a program to burn any video format to a DVD. I know there was a tool but I don't remember it.
[12:12] <ndee> it was open source and it could convert anything to that DVD Format
[12:12] <alesan^nc> hoto
[12:13] <Dabacoboy> hey guys
[12:13] <KDan> how smooth is it to upgrade from a debian install to an ubuntu install?
[12:14] <Myrtti> I wouldn't do it
[12:14] <Myrtti> the packages aren't that compatible
[12:14] <KDan> hmm
[12:14] <Dabacoboy> mentioned earlier about not being able to find ethernet card
[12:14] <KDan> Myrtti: define "not that compatible"?\
[12:14] <stefg> KDan: bad idea
[12:14] <KDan> I'm talking about a server
[12:14] <wols> KDan: "will break"
[12:15] <wols> KDan: debootstrap
[12:15] <KDan> damn
[12:15] <stefg> KDan: bad idea, still
[12:15] <alesan^nc> hi
[12:15] <KDan> ok..
[12:15] <wols> Dabacoboy: well?
[12:15] <KDan> question 2
[12:15] <alesan^nc> where can I set that vi has syntax highlighting and so on?
[12:16] <Dabacoboy> not worked
[12:16] <KDan> if i've been developing on ubuntu servers for the last year, and now i'm about to deploy to the prod server and run things there
[12:16] <wols> Dabacoboy: lspci does work. always
[12:16] <KDan> will i have lots of trouble if i let the server be a debian server?
[12:16] <KDan> or will it all be fairly similar to ubuntu?
[12:16] <Terminus> alesan^nc: put 'syntax on' in your ~/.vimrc or type :syntax on after starting vim.
[12:16] <wols> KDan: fairly similar but I'm biased
[12:16] <KDan> wols: what would you say are the major differences, if any?
[12:16] <Dabacoboy> it just goes to the next line not appearing to do anything
[12:17] <wols> KDan: sid vs stable
[12:17] <KDan> sid?
[12:17] <Terminus> alesan^nc: and you have be running vim, not vim-tiny which is installed by default on feisty.
[12:17] <wols> ubuntu is based on debian sid aka unstable
[12:17] <KDan> ok, so debian stable will have much older packages?
[12:18] <wols> Dabacoboy: lspci runs as user or root without a problem. so I don't believe you
[12:18] <stefg> KDan: the delta between ubuntu and debian increase with every release. Just think of upstart and libata are
[12:18] <alesan^nc> Terminus, good thank you
[12:18] <wols> KDan: right now: no. debian stable was just released
[12:18] <wols> stefg: debian uses libata
[12:18] <KDan> aha. well if i was thinking of going with 6.06 for the LTS, then deb would be even more recent actually?
[12:18] <wols> KDan: yes
[12:19] <KDan> interesting.
[12:19] <alesan^nc> Terminus, if I want to throw away vim-tiny  should I simply install vim or also deinstall something?
[12:19] <Dabacoboy> il type what i get
[12:19] <Dabacoboy> matt@matt-desktop:~$ lspci
[12:19] <Dabacoboy> matt@matt-desktop:~$
[12:19] <KDan> so your recommendation, if my choice is between "figure out debian and use that instead" and "try to dist-upgrade to ubuntu", is to go for the first option?
[12:19] <wols> KDan: why dist-upgrade to ubuntu if you already run it?
[12:20] <KDan> i have ubuntu on my dev servers
[12:20] <KDan> e.g. VM's, local server sitting under my desk, etc
[12:20] <KDan> the server i'm looking at now is a dedicated server we're renting from serverbeach
[12:20] <wols> Dabacoboy: lspci -v
[12:20] <Emerald> hello everyone.
[12:21] <KDan> it came with debian on it - i was originally planning to dist-upgrade to ubuntu
[12:21] <KDan> now it sounds like perhaps this is not such a great idea
[12:21] <graveson1> i have installed an ssh server and client ( 2 desktops). i can connect from the server to the client but not vice versa. Do i need to have the server software installed on the client as well?
[12:21] <KDan> graveson1: yes
[12:21] <Dabacoboy> ......
[12:21] <Dabacoboy> matt@matt-desktop:~$ lspci -v
[12:21] <Dabacoboy> matt@matt-desktop:~$
[12:22] <wols> Dabacoboy: what system is this?
[12:22] <KDan> graveson1: install the ssh server on both machines if you want to ssh into both machines
[12:22] <Dabacoboy> ubuntu 6.06.1
[12:22] <KDan> ok thanks guys. I gues i'm going to go read a bit more about debian
[12:22] <graveson1> KDan: thanks
[12:22] <wols> if lspci is not working your machine is broken
[12:22] <KDan> to help make up my mind
[12:22] <KDan> graveson1: pleasure
[12:22] <KDan> thanks for the warnings though
[12:22] <stefg> graveson1: no...  if you just need to log in from box #1 to box #2, only box #2 needs rhe server installed
[12:22] <Dabacoboy> install fresh copy of ubu then??
[12:22] <KDan> i imagine i was preparing myself a world of pain
[12:23] <KDan> stefg: he wants to log in both ways
[12:23] <razdaman> hi there - I want to resize arond 300 photos from some high resolution til 800*600 ... does there exist a program for doing this fast? (without the need to resize the photos manually..)
[12:23] <wols> Dabacoboy: cat /proc/bus/pci/devices
[12:23] <KDan> razdaman: ImageMagick
[12:23] <Flannel> Dabacoboy: Yes.  Since it appears you're missing some rather core files.  No telling whatelseyou may be missing.  (Sounds like an unfinished install)
[12:23] <KDan> razdaman: it'll do exactly what you want
[12:24] <KDan> razdaman: from a command line. you may have to write a shell script around it
[12:24] <wols> Flannel: he is not missing lspci or it would say "command not found"
[12:24] <graveson1> stefg: i need to log in both directions
[12:24] <Stormx2> looks like last.fm runs off ubuntu :)
[12:24] <stefg> graveson1: the both box need to run a server
[12:24] <Flannel> Dabacoboy: hmm, wols has a good point.
[12:24] <Dabacoboy> blank file
[12:24] <graveson1> stefg: thnx
[12:25] <wols> Dabacoboy: what kernel version
[12:25] <razdaman> KDan: kay thanks, will look into that
[12:25] <juice`> anyone knows any *GOOD* bandwidth meter with option to generate graphs? i tried many of them, and they were working terrible (like one graph had it's perspective destroyed but one big peak connection, so the scale went up from 10Mbps to 500Mbps and i couldnt see anything)
[12:25] <Dabacoboy> how do you check that
[12:25] <wols> Dabacoboy: uname -a
[12:25] <Chai_Sangeen> roryy: i just wanted to thank you, adding "freevo -fs" to /etc/rc.local did the trick, many thanx
[12:27] <Dabacoboy> Linux matt-desktop 2.6.15-26-386 #1 PREEMPT Thu Aug 3 02:52:00 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux

[12:28] <wols> Hausberg: /etc/default/rcS
[12:29] <wols> Dabacoboy: (re)install kernel and reboot. if that doesn't work, reinstall the OS
[12:29] <Dabacoboy> how do you do tht (soz im a noobie)
[12:30] <wols> dpkg -i <kernel package>
[12:30] <Terminus> alesan^nc: just install vim. i didn't have to remove vim-tiny.
[12:30] <alesan^nc> Terminus, thanks
[12:30] <Dabacoboy> kernal package is...?
[12:30] <wols> dpkg -l | grep linux-image
[12:31] <Dabacoboy> ta
[12:31] <stefg> Hausberg: sudo tzconfig
[12:31] <Terminus> alesan^nc: aside from ~/.vimrc, you can also do some funky stuff with ~/.vim/ just read the manual. it's a bit complex. =D
[12:31] <wols> !info tzconfig
[12:31] <ubotu> Package tzconfig does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[12:31] <djmaster> kalimeraaaaaaaaaa
[12:32] <Dabacoboy> dpkg: --install needs at least one package archive file argument
[12:32] <waxyfresh> how do i add a menu bar that displys stuffy?
[12:32] <wols> Dabacoboy: as I told you
[12:32] <wols> Dabacoboy: re download the kernel pacakge, and install it
[12:32] <Dabacoboy> ok then
[12:32] <stefg> wols: that's a part of the libc-package
[12:33] <alesan^nc> Terminus, do you have any idea if I can also use syntax highlighting with "less" ?
[12:33] <waxyfresh> whats the comand line tem for opening the sond panel?
[12:33] <stefg> waxyfresh: yo mean alsamixer?
[12:34] <waxyfresh> term/sound^
[12:34] <wols> stefg: I am guessing the gnome thing for it
[12:34] <waxyfresh> im not sure
[12:34] <djmaster> kanenas ellinas yparxei??
[12:34] <Terminus> alesan^nc: i don't think so. i just use 'view' instead. it's vim but read-only.
[12:34] <stefg> waxyfresh: so it's... errm... alsamixer
[12:35] <alesan^nc> ok thanks

[12:51] <Dabacoboy> whats the best filesystem to use in ubuntu 6.06.1
[12:52] <Goop> Dabacoboy: FAT or FAT32.
[12:52] <brosioz> hi all
[12:52] <brosioz> is better compiz
[12:52] <blahblahx> why not ext3
[12:52] <brosioz> or beryl ?
[12:52] <roryy> Dabacoboy: unless you have specialized requirements, just use the defaults (ext3, in this case)
[12:52] <Dabacoboy> ok then ta
[12:52] <Goop> Oh, OK. I'm not really used to Ubuntu yet ^_^
[12:52] <blahblahx> ok
[12:53] <wols> Goop: you cannot install ubuntu in fat
[12:53] <blahblahx> yeah use ext3
[12:53] <Goop> blahblahx: To be honest, I'm using this now because my Windows install is broken.
[12:53] <blahblahx> you might like it
[12:53] <blahblahx> and stay a while

[12:53] <Goop> blahblahx: I'm running from the LiveCD.
[12:54] <blahblahx> ooooh
[12:54] <Goop> and yes, I like it ^_^
[12:54] <blahblahx> do you need any help?
[12:54] <Goop> well, i would like NTFS write access, so i can fix hal.dll
[12:54] <wols> !ntfs-3g
[12:54] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[12:54] <blahblahx> try installing NTFS-3G
[12:55] <Goop> I tried, but I can't install it.
[12:55] <blahblahx> beat me too it
[12:55] <wols> blahblahx: kinda hard with a livecd
[12:55] <blahblahx> try linux mint
[12:55] <Goop> It says I need to edit souces.list, but it's read-only for me
[12:55] <wols> Goop: iirc knoppix uses ntfs-3g out of the box in their live cd
[12:55] <blahblahx> it mounts them automatically
[12:55] <wols> Goop: sudo
[12:55] <preem_> just open synaptic
[12:55] <blahblahx> its a seperate linux distro
[12:55] <preem_> and select universe and mutilverse
[12:55] <blahblahx> based off ubuntu
[12:55] <preem_> then search for ntfs-2g
[12:55] <blahblahx> but it has codecs installed
[12:55] <preem_> 3g*
[12:55] <sharperguy> any idea why GDM isn't loading, and just giving a timer icon? (I can't give more info than that because I'm not at the computer)
[12:55] <wols> blahblahx: wrong
[12:55] <preem_> has to work, worked for me several times on liveCD
[12:55] <blahblahx> and it uses ntf3g to mount wiindows partitions
[12:55] <wols> oh. mint. sorry
[12:56] <luca> hi everyone
[12:56] <blahblahx> just try it
[12:56] <blahblahx> hi luca
[12:56] <wols> Goop: run "mount". does it say ntfs anywhere?
[12:56] <luca> can someone help me compile the kernel enabling the support to proprietary drivers please? :)
[12:56] <wols> luca: what drivers?
[12:56] <luca> blahblahx: hi
[12:56] <blahblahx> you just have to install them
[12:56] <blahblahx> you dont have to recompile
[12:57] <luca> wols: my nvidia proprietary drivers and internet wireless card
[12:57] <rOb3rt> pls help me about FTP
[12:57] <blahblahx> !binary drivers
[12:57] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about binary drivers - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:57] <luca> no they function perfectly
[12:57] <luca> the point is that I want to compile the kernel
[12:57] <wols> luca: no need to compile a kernel
[12:57] <wols> !nvidia luca
[12:57] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nvidia luca - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:57] <wols> !nvidia |luca
[12:57] <ubotu> luca: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:57] <Goop> wols: currently,  I'm using this mount command "sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/windows -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=0222
[12:57] <wols> luca: what wireless card
[12:57] <luca> just a second
[12:57] <wols> Goop: that won't work
[12:57] <rOb3rt> i install proftpd my router is forwarded to port 21 but still cant see in extrnal ip
[12:57] <wols> Goop: "read only" only
[12:58] <blahblahx> !linuxmint
[12:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about linuxmint - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:58] <wols> r0bby: 20, 21 and some high ports for pasv support
[12:58] <Goop> I can't find NTFS-3G in Synaptic.
[12:58] <blahblahx> !mepis
[12:58] <ubotu> Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems)
[12:58] <wols> Goop: it's in universe
[12:58] <luca> the driver is 'intel PRO/Wireless 3945'
[12:58] <wols> Goop: do what blahblahx said.don't use the ubuntu livecd
[12:58] <rOb3rt> so u mean u must open port 20 and 21 in my router ?
[12:58] <wols> luca: no need to a kernel compile either
[12:59] <minerale> Hello, how can I have ubuntu automatically log me in when I turn it on?
[12:59] <luca> wols: I know there is no need, but I wanted to try the newer one and understand how to compile one
[12:59] <rOb3rt> can u  exactly tell me what port should i open for my FTP
[12:59] <wols> luca: install kernel-package
[12:59] <Goop> wols: So I should use Knoppix LiveCD instead?
[12:59] <wols> rOb3rt: I told you already
[12:59] <luca> wols: already installed
[12:59] <wols> Goop: any live cd that already comes with ntfs-3g support
[12:59] <roryy> minerale: system -> admin -> login window, security tab
[01:00] <rOb3rt> 20 ans 21 ?
[01:00] <wols> luca: it comes with docs. read them
[01:00] <luca> wols: oh ok thanks :)
[01:00] <wols> rOb3rt: and some highports for PASV support
[01:00] <Goop> OK, I heard a lot about Knoppix being easy to use, so I'll use that. Temporarily, then it's back to Ubuntu. ^_^
[01:00] <wols> Goop: knoppix is way better as a live cd, ubuntu is a lot better when installed
[01:01] <Goop> 'K. Cya all when I come back to Ubuntu!
[01:01] <Emerald> Hello.  I am new with Ubuntu...   I am trying to get my computer to work for me.     I have figured out that there are two paths, Gnome and KDE......what is the better choice
[01:01] <rOb3rt> can u tell me how to create user/pass for ftp
[01:01] <wols> Emerald: there is no better. personal preference
[01:02] <wols> rOb3rt: by default it most probably uses system accounts
[01:02] <wols> rOb3rt: just use scp from ssh. much better than ftp
[01:02] <wols> more scure too
[01:02] <wols> *secure
[01:02] <The-Compiler> Hi
[01:02] <roryy> or rsync over ssh
[01:03] <rOb3rt> wols can i use my root user/pass in ftp ?
[01:04] <fivetwentysix> I don't know if this is the right channel to ask this but I am using Ubuntu and I don't know if this is a Koversation question or a Ubuntu question, but anyways; When I open a link by clicking on it, it opens Screem and not my web-browser. How can I change it so that if i click a link it'll open my web-browser instead.
[01:04] <rOb3rt> wols can u check it ftp://cable-202-8-235-235.d-one.net
[01:05] <wols> rOb3rt: no root access with ftp
[01:05] <rOb3rt> aw
[01:05] <wols> would be stupid if it worked
[01:05] <rOb3rt> wols is it working now ftp://cable-202-8-235-235.d-one.net ?
[01:06] <rOb3rt> can u check it
[01:06] <alesan^nc> is there a way to install a complete development environment
[01:06] <alesan^nc> I am installing packages as I need them it's frustraitng
[01:06] <wols> alesan^nc: apt-get install build-essential
[01:06] <wols> IDEs are anjutah, kdevelop, rawhide,etc (this is all for C/C++)
[01:07] <rOb3rt> so how can i create user/pass for ftp
[01:07] <alesan^nc> I am using vi and kdevelop
[01:07] <wols> depends how your ftp server authenticates users
[01:07] <wols> there are several methods
[01:07] <rOb3rt> its say opps both local and anonymous is disables
[01:07] <rOb3rt> connection closed by the remote
[01:08] <alesan^nc> error: linux/sys.h: No such file or directory <- ??? which package I mostly need?
[01:08] <roryy> alesan^nc: have you installed build-essential ?
[01:08] <wols> alesan^nc: kernel headers
[01:08] <alesan^nc> roryy, just installed
[01:08] <alesan^nc> wols, they are installed... let me check again...
[01:09] <rOb3rt> aw
[01:09] <rOb3rt> can u teach me howto config ftp
[01:10] <wols> r0bby: forums has a howto somewhere for proftpd
[01:10] <alesan^nc> linux-headers-generic is installed
[01:10] <wols> !info linux-headers-generic
[01:10] <ubotu> linux-headers-generic: Generic Linux kernel headers. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.20.16.28.1 (feisty), package size 23 kB, installed size 52 kB
[01:11] <wols> that is not the right one
[01:11] <rOb3rt> a
[01:11] <rOb3rt> ww
[01:11] <wols> what are you trying to compile?
[01:11] <rOb3rt> vsftpd
[01:11] <wols> unless it's a virtual package
[01:11] <shinkansen> HOW TO START BERYL AT STARTUP?
[01:11] <wols> rOb3rt: I didn't ask you, but good choice. you need a system user (sudo adduser for example) for it
[01:11] <wols> rOb3rt: edit /etc/vsftpd.conf to enable anon access
[01:12] <Stormx2> shinkansen: Don't shout; check the wiki.
[01:12] <wols> !effects | shinkansen
[01:12] <ubotu> shinkansen: For help with Beryl or Compiz desktop effects, please go to #ubuntu-effects.
[01:12] <roryy> linux-headers-generic depends on  linux-headers-2.6.20-15-generic
[01:12] <wols> roryy: k
[01:12] <alesan^nc> wols, a little library wrote by a friend of mine. it's about tcp connections and networking.
[01:12] <shinkansen> okay thanks
[01:12] <wols> alesan^nc: http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=linux%2Fsys.h&searchmode=searchword&case=insensitive&version=feisty&arch=i386
[01:12] <alesan^nc> #include <linux/sys.h>
[01:12] <roryy> alesan^nc: p'rhaps the compile flags need to be set correctly
[01:12] <wols> alesan^nc: so include the proper directory
[01:13] <wols> alesan^nc: /usr/include/linux/sys.h is the proper place for the file. ubuntu apparently doesn't honor this
[01:13] <wols> alesan^nc: fix your dev environment then
[01:13] <kkerwin> Hi. Is there anyway that I can make grub boot a floppy disk image, instead of a floppy drive?
[01:13] <mohsin> helllo
[01:13] <mohsin> dear
[01:14] <mohsin> dear i can't see any boootsplash
[01:14] <mohsin> i don know y
[01:14] <roryy> wols: you sure about that?  I've compiled non-ubuntu kernel modules on ubuntu without weird tweaking; they find the linux headers without problems.
[01:14] <alesan^nc> wols, shall I copy sys.h there or is there a better approach?
[01:14] <mohsin> can any body help me
[01:14] <Gnea> kkerwin: qemu or vmware
[01:14] <rOb3rt> wols can u check it ftp://cable-202-8-235-235.d-one.net
[01:14] <kkerwin> Gnea: damn, you're good. Vmware.
[01:14] <MPS> hi all
[01:14] <rOb3rt> both port 20 and 21 is open
[01:14] <gioele> hi
[01:14] <wols> roryy: I am pretty sure yes. either you have the ubuntu kernel headers in your include path or you use /usr/include/linux
[01:15] <mohsin> hay buddies i ask u peoples a question plz answer me if u don mind
[01:15] <wols> rOb3rt: I don't think so
[01:15] <wols> !ask | mohsin
[01:15] <gioele> are debian-multimedia .deb packages compatible with feisty?
[01:15] <ubotu> mohsin: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:15] <mohsin> dear i can't see any boootsplash
[01:15] <mohsin> i don know y
[01:15] <mohsin> it realy annoying me
[01:16] <kkerwin> Gnea: I'm looking at this page: http://ramblings.narrabilis.com/wp/using-your-physical-disk-with-vmware-server-to-boot-windows-xp/ which explains the problem that I'm having very well. I just don't have a floppy drive.
[01:16] <mohsin> evry time seeeing the black screen
[01:16] <mohsin> all the times
[01:16] <rOb3rt> waaa maybe i cant able to FTP
[01:16] <Gnea> gioele: it's not a good idea to mix debian .debs with ubuntu and vice versa, since they were not specifically designed for each other - the only thing they share is the package management system
[01:16] <rOb3rt> wols can u give the high pssv port for vstpd
[01:16] <kkerwin> mohsin: We may need more info to help solve your problem. Can you provide anything more than that?
[01:17] <MPS> having a problem with my swap partition. recently i updated to kernel 2.6.20-16 (from the repo). i noticed that my hibernating doesn't work anymore. so i switched back to original kernel 2.6.20-15. now i don't have any swap mounted. if i try swapon -a it returns: 'swapon: cannot stat /dev/disk/by-uuid/02131c79-6c9c-4b40-abd6-e6a5dbbf40ce: No such file or directory.
[01:17] <mohsin> yeah i can paste my menu.lst
[01:17] <wols> rOb3rt: no. it depends on whatever you set
[01:17] <mohsin> u an refer from it
[01:17] <Alessandro> hi
[01:17] <gioele> Gnea: I know... anybody know where I can find lame 3.97 for Feisty?
[01:17] <rOb3rt> i set the default port 21 and open the original 20
[01:17] <fdr> hello! please, how do I install the plugin to watch realplayer videos in firefox?
[01:17] <wols> gioele: compile it yourself to a .deb?
[01:18] <gioele> wols: I was looking for a shortcut ;)
[01:18] <kkerwin> Gnea: I'm sorry, I see that you're busy now. But did you have any advice that could help me before?
[01:18] <MPS> anyone know how to fix this? sda5 is my swap partition and the link to sda5 in the dir by-uuid is the following: 870c91cd-4b4f-4038-a654-2c09fa93b443 -> ../../sda5 . WTH have i another UUID of my swap partition??
[01:18] <jrib> !realplayer > fdr (see the private message from ubotu)
[01:18] <wols> gioele: laziness won't be tolerated :)
[01:18] <rOb3rt> wols cant even login my ftp in local
[01:19] <wols> MPS: I dunno why but just update your fstab with the nre UUID
[01:19] <mohsin> wols plz refer this
[01:19] <mohsin> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23701/
[01:19] <Alessandro> hi guys, I was trying to install ati drivers, using http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=305665, I got up to the point where you restart the x server, but it froze at command prompt and now I get
[01:19] <gioele> wols: checkinstall?
[01:19] <Alessandro> Failed to start x server
[01:19] <mohsin> i cant seee any bootsplash while booting up my system
[01:19] <Gnea> kkerwin: that's quite interesting... well, it's vmware, it doesn't matter if you have a real floppy drive attached or not, it'll simply accept it and you should be able to direct a floppy image file at it to use in place of the actual drive
[01:19] <MPS> wols: just put the new uuid into my fstab? or is there any utility to do so?
[01:19] <iwcd> can someone help me please - I have tried various ftp programs an ubuntu and some under Wine - All connect ok bt I cannot download any files
[01:19] <wols> MPS: dunno of any utility
[01:20] <kkerwin> Gnea: Ahh, I see.
[01:20] <mohsin> wols are u seeing it
[01:20] <mohsin> ?
[01:20] <iwcd> can someone help me please - I have tried various ftp programs an ubuntu and some under Wine - All connect ok bt I cannot download any files
[01:20] <kkerwin> Gnea: Sounds like a hack to make another hack work. -grin-
[01:20] <MPS> wols: ok, and when rebooting it will also find my hibernating signature and resume?
[01:20] <wols> MPS: hopefully but no clue
[01:20] <kkerwin> Gnea: Thanks for the idea. Very creative.
[01:20] <Gnea> kkerwin: well, yeah, that's what it's designed to do ;)
[01:20] <MPS> wols: hehe, ok. i'll try and come back
[01:20] <mohsin> wols
[01:20] <mohsin> ?
[01:21] <kkerwin> mohsin: Please be patient.
[01:21] <mohsin> okay
[01:21] <wols> mohsin: I don't like or use bootsplashes
[01:21] <mohsin> but i can't even see the text
[01:21] <mohsin> i don knoe whats happening backdoor
[01:21] <MPS> wols: at least, it "mounted" my swap. ok, rebooting and try to resume my hibernate state
[01:23] <MrC_> hi what is the best icon themes for ubuntu?

[01:24] <mohsin> wols are u there ?
[01:24] <Frogzoo> !themes | MrC_ really, it's a matter of taste

[01:25] <alesan^nc> what is the package in ubuntu that has complete kerrnel sources?
[01:25] <SlimeyPete> alesan^nc: linux-source
[01:25] <Frogzoo> alesan^nc: apt-cache search kernel
[01:25] <pushboy> Excuse me. Who can tell me why it is only sound when I use  to play  "*.rmvb".
[01:25] <roryy> *blink*
[01:26] <mohsin> pushboy its seems to be a codec prob
[01:26] <qq77777777> because it doesn;t surport rmvb
[01:26] <pushboy> thank you
[01:26] <mohsin> try to install realplayer
[01:26] <Frogzoo> pushboy: missing codecs? mpg maybe?
[01:26] <pushboy> I will try again
[01:27] <mohsin> okay
[01:27] <mohsin> wols are u seeing the menu.lst
[01:27] <mohsin> or not
[01:27] <kkerwin> Gnea: The page that I'm looking at says to make the disk on the floppy first, and then take the image from that disk. Do I need to do anything special since I don't have a floppy, or can I just take a dd image of those files and be good to go?
[01:28] <MPS> wols: thank you, it works. had the same thing under edgy and tried the same to change fstab but there it didn't work. dunno why.
[01:28] <john_> hi
[01:28] <channeL7> anyone know of a program for slideshow creation with music?
[01:29] <john_> i am trying to get a sh script i wrote to boot automatically with ubuntu
[01:29] <john_> it loads my video drivers
[01:29] <kkerwin> channeL7: OOffice Impress?
[01:29] <john_> fglrx isnt loading properly
[01:29] <Flannel> !bum | john_
[01:29] <Alessandro> hey guys can someone help me? I followed the tutorial to install ati driver's on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=305665, when I got to the point of restarting the x server the computer halted at the terminal, and when I restarted it the x server fails to start. and I'm stuck, any help please?
[01:29] <ubotu> john_: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto
[01:29] <john_> and this script does the trick
[01:29] <Gnea> kkerwin: you should be able to find any number of floppy images via google, mount one of them on a loop device and copy the necessary files to it, unmount it and it should simply 'work'
[01:30] <kkerwin> Gnea: That works too. Thanks yet again.
[01:30] <channeL7> kkerwin: this is too basic and doesn't allow for manipulation of music at specific frames
[01:30] <john_> ubotu: it sais /etc/rc.local doesnt exist when i type it in
[01:31] <Frogzoo> alesan^nc: feisty?
[01:31] <kkerwin> channeL7: So more like a Windows Movie Maker type of thing. One sec. I forgot the name of the program.
[01:31] <Frogzoo> Alessandro: feisty?
[01:31] <Frogzoo> alesan^nc: tab malfunct, soz
[01:31] <Alessandro> fiesty?
[01:32] <Frogzoo> Alessandro: which distro are you on?
[01:32] <mildner> good morning
[01:32] <Alessandro> ubuntu
[01:32] <Alessandro> sorry forgot to mention
[01:32] <Flannel> Alessandro: which version of ubuntu?
[01:32] <Alessandro> umm....
[01:32] <mildner> any help for DVB-T sticks
[01:32] <Flannel> Alessandro: lsb_release -r
[01:32] <iwcd> can someone help me please - I have tried various ftp programs an ubuntu and some under Wine - All connect ok bt I cannot download any files
[01:32] <Alessandro> 7.04
[01:33] <kkerwin> channeL7: Try kino. Also, you can find any number of different movie editors for linux that should be able to give you similar functionality, if this one doesn't suit your style.
[01:33] <john_> alessandro, are you the one at osxx86.info and insanelymac?
[01:33] <Alessandro> no, I just aquired ubuntu today
[01:34] <pushboy> Hi, who can tell me how to use gnome instead of  KDE . I want to change back gnome.
[01:34] <Panda200x> John, I take it your on insanely mac? :D
[01:34] <john_> have you used hackint0sh?
[01:34] <john_> i am
[01:34] <channeL7> kkerwin: thanks for the help, was also suggested the dvd-slideshow but will try both
[01:34] <john_> i am actually The Crator
[01:34] <john_> from osxx86.info
[01:34] <Panda200x> :P
[01:34] <john_> i run that site
[01:34] <Panda200x> :O
[01:34] <Alessandro> i see
[01:34] <john_> i have always kept up to date in teh ububuntu world
[01:35] <Panda200x> Nice design for the site
[01:35] <mildner> any help for DVB-T Sticks
[01:35] <roryy> pushboy: i think you can select your desktop environment at login
[01:35] <john_> thanks
[01:35] <kkerwin> channeL7: I haven't heard of dvd-slideshow, but you may have better luck with it as its features are likely to be more simplified and specialized to what you want to do (slideshow) rather than making a movie in general.
[01:35] <john_> it is macinscott2
[01:35] <john_> surprisingly after i did it though, adsense earnings arnt paying for the hosting anymore
[01:35] <pushboy> rooy : i did .but it still is KDE
[01:36] <john_> panda, what is your account name?
[01:36] <john_> on my site?
[01:36] <roryy> pushboy: so you select GNOME at login but ended up with KDE ?
[01:36] <Panda200x> On osxx86? or insanely mac?
[01:36] <Panda200x> i'm not on osxx86
[01:36] <roryy> john_: not to be rude, but could we keep the conversation here to ubuntu support?
[01:36] <john_> osx-x86
[01:36] <john_> ok
[01:36] <john_> insanelymac then
[01:36] <Panda200x> :P PM's then
[01:36] <john_> :)
[01:36] <Alessandro> so can anyone help me :(
[01:37] <john_> panda
[01:37] <iwcd> can someone help me please - I have tried various ftp programs an ubuntu and some under Wine - All connect ok bt I cannot download any files
[01:37] <john_> it wont let me, my nic isnt registered
[01:37] <mrynit> does anyone know about java? I am trying to run eclipse and it is running slowly b/c it is using the wrong version of java. ubuntu defaults all java things to 1.4 but i need every thing to be on version 6
[01:37] <pushboy> roryy:  yes I do. But after I restart ,it change back kde
[01:37] <Panda200x> oh, freenode :P
[01:37] <john_> yeah
[01:37] <roryy> Alessandro: have you looked at the ATI instructions on the Ubunti wiki?
[01:37] <Panda200x> < Your looking at my username
[01:37] <john_> whats ur insanelymac id?
[01:37] <john_> :)
[01:38] <john_> what do you think of insanelymac's new ownership?
[01:38] <Alessandro> well its now unable to open display and I'm stuck at a terminal window
[01:38] <john_> u gonna leave and come join my site? hehehehe
[01:38] <Flannel> john_: #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:39] <roryy> pushboy: hm.  I'm not sure how to change the default session, sorry
[01:39] <john_> sorry flannel, bumped into a fellow hackint0sher :)
[01:39] <Panda200x> :P
[01:40] <wols> Alessandro: check your /var/log/Xorg.log
[01:40] <roryy> pushboy: if i recall correctly, 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm' makes GDM the login manager; maybe that will result in a gnome session at login
[01:40] <john_> insanelymac is down...
[01:40] <Panda200x> yeah :P
[01:40] <john_> lol

[01:55] <jhaig> I'm installing a package (Google Earth from the Medibuntu repository, as it happens) and Synaptic is giving a list of packages that will be "Unchanged".  If they are going to be unchanged, why is it listing them?
[01:56] <Nokan> hello
[01:56] <Filthpig> hi, I want to make a short video of my desktop, what program do you suggest I should use? (If there is a program with a gui, that'd be nice)
[01:56] <Nokan> how i can see the list of the users in my xchat?
[01:56] <logixoul> wow, this Medibuntu thing looks nice
[01:56] <Seveas> jhaig, probably because they should be upgraded
[01:56] <logixoul> Filthpig: maybe screenkast
[01:56] <logixoul> Filthpig: or xvidcap
[01:57] <jhaig> Seveas: Thanks, that makes some sense.
[01:57] <Filthpig> alright, thanks
[01:58] <Trynemjoel>  Filthpig  recordmydesktop + gtk-recordmydesktop perhaps

[02:00] <Allex> ehm, maybe a dumb question but how do i move windows around with the mouse with beryl switched on?
[02:00] <logixoul> It's supposed to just work.
[02:01] <logixoul> Or you don't see titlebars?
[02:01] <logixoul> If you don't, then just run emerald.
[02:01] <Allex> no, the bars are removed with beryl on
[02:01] <logixoul> Alt+click works too.
[02:01] <logixoul> right, run emerald.
[02:01] <Allex> what does that mean?
[02:01] <logixoul> alt+f2 emerald enter
[02:02] <logixoul> you should get used to the frequent use of shell commands like that on linux.
[02:02] <SlimeyPete> emerald is the application which provides the title bars etc.
[02:02] <logixoul> Windows spares you a lot of these ;)
[02:02] <SlimeyPete> the Beryl Manager makes things a bit easier ;)
[02:02] <Allex> i get a message saing that the file isenst found (emerald)
[02:03] <logixoul> then use your package manager to install emerald
[02:03] <logixoul> makes sense, doesn't it?
[02:03] <logixoul> ;)
[02:04] <Allex> haha, tnx
[02:05] <ErParucca> hi guys! I'm experiencing some troubles with my extigy sine I installed feitsy. the card gets setted up at 48KHz instead 44K and the sound is not good. can someone of you tell me where can I find some more resources? I don't know how to change the playback rate. thanks ;)
[02:06] <logixoul> kde or gnome?
[02:06] <ErParucca> I'm using gnome, but I'm quite familiar even with the command line
[02:07] <ErParucca> I was able to swithc the default sound card from the integrated sigmatel to the external extigy but as in windows xp I have to set the playbark rate to 44KHz or the USB channel won't reach the needed rate to transfer the date as other devices are also connected (an external HD, a printer and a webcam)

[02:11] <blackatron> does anyone know if /dev/fd0 is removable media such as flush >
[02:11] <LjL> logixoul, /var is for data that is supposed to change very often. "variables". /usr is the place where most of the userland system lives, and it's supposed to never change except when you install or remove programs.

[02:37] <noob> ok
[02:38] <Dabaconboy> wols, is that allon one line or do i split them at the comma

[02:40] <ZeroA4> blackest, usually yes... linux does not have a registry so its detectes hardware at boot... if you HD keeps it order (ie hda ) is shoulf boot with little problem
[02:41] <allan__> how do I become root using a file manager?
[02:41] <IdleOne> blackest, shutdown and install the hardware in the new box and then see what happens
[02:41] <ZeroA4> allan__, gksudo nautilus
[02:41] <IdleOne> blackest, backups are always a good idea
[02:41] <allan__> thanks
[02:41] <Fenyx> !patience
[02:42] <allan__> why is that, whenever I run wlassistant in GNOME, it does not ask for a password?
[02:42] <predaeus> allan__, if you install another distro which installs grub, the mbr entry will be changed so that grub will look for the boot menu in the /boot partition of that other distro, so if you just wipe that you will be forced to fix the grub mbr entry to get into the old distribution. but I am not sure what you have because you said it is still booting only the old distros anyway.
[02:42] <buckdeer> Hi, I'm having trouble with hi-resolutions on an 845 chipset based mother board (Mercury).

[02:42] <ubotu> buckdeer: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[02:43] <thingy> buckdeer, tried installing xserver-xorg-video-intel ?
[02:43] <buckdeer> ubotu: yeah, I've tried restarting, rebooting.
[02:43] <buckdeer> ...and I've been thru' various HOWTOs and manuals to fix this
[02:44] <buckdeer> thingi: It is running the i810 driver.
[02:44] <`cYr|x_> i need help
[02:44] <Dabaconboy> wols: the modprobe 813t00 didnt work it said
[02:44] <Dabaconboy> FATAL: Module 813T00 not found.
[02:44] <ZeroA4> buckdeer, resolution are guessed by the X from you monitor, you video card and your xorg.conf
[02:44] <allan__> predaeus, the other distro I installed did not install grub on the MBR
[02:44] <buckdeer> ZeroA4: in this case, there's a problem with the BIOS from which it gets the info.
[02:44] <wols> doh. modprobe 8139too
[02:44] <buckdeer> I've explicitly stated the ModeLine and it still won't work.
[02:45] <Dabaconboy> lolz ta
[02:45] <wols> blackest: what vieocard? if it's a 9xx one, the i810 driver is the wrong one
[02:45] <Ajits> To open windwos explorer we use windows+E to see directory structure from C prompt. what is equivalent command to see directory structure from root in ubuntu.
[02:45] <predaeus> allan__, oh yea, right you said that.That must be the reason, I do not know too much about grub and installing it into another partition or so.
[02:46] <buckdeer> wols: i845
[02:46] <`cYr|x_> need help... my KDE system program wont run... it says KDE SU return error
[02:46] <`cYr|x_> need help... my KDE system program wont run... it says KDE SU return error
[02:46] <thingy> buckdeer, The  xserver-xorg-video-intel package has a patched version of the i810 driver which fixed resolution problems that the i915resolution utlity used to fix.
[02:46] <wols> buckdeer: k. then i810 is the right one
[02:46] <buckdeer> Ajits: Alt-F2 -> /
[02:46] <ZeroA4> buckdeer, sometimes it helps commentig out parts of you xorg.conf that explicits frequencies and resolutions... letting X guess directly from hardware... OR you can make modelines to explicit pass to X a resolusion+frequecy combo
[02:46] <allan__> if I reinstall that other distro and choose to install its grub on the MBR, will it fix my problem?
[02:46] <buckdeer> ZeroA4: Yup, tried all that too!
[02:46] <Ajits> buckdeer:thanks :)
[02:47] <ZeroA4> buckdeer, :(
[02:47] <buckdeer> ZeroA4: As I said, I tried vesa and i810 drivers
[02:47] <buckdeer> Tried with and without Modelines
[02:47] <buckdeer> Still runs only at VGA (640x480)
[02:47] <ZeroA4> buckdeer, but i did not talked about changind drivers
[02:48] <Enselic_> ,nvu
[02:48] <buckdeer> No, but I've tried every trick available in the book
[02:48] <Enselic_> !nvu
[02:48] <ubotu> nvu is a WYSIWYG and code dual-function HTML editor for easily creating web pages.  The original developer is working on a full rewrite; meanwhile, another is doing bugfixes.

[02:48] <ZeroA4> buckdeer, i talk abou comenting out frequecies and resolutions in xorg.conf
[02:48] <allan__> predaeus, in your opinion, will reformatting be my best option?
[02:48] <noiesmo>  buckdeer if ctr montior maybe set HorizSync & VertRefresh in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:48] <buckdeer> ZeroA4: Yes I tried w/ and w/o freqs and res.
[02:48] <wols> allan__: what exactly is your problem?
[02:49] <wols> buckdeer: what does the log say?
[02:49] <ZeroA4> buckdeer, i run out of ideas
[02:49] <allan__> wols, please see this for complete details http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=461719
[02:49] <allan__> the terminal instructed me to repair my filesystem
[02:49] <predaeus> allan__, I do not know. But I think it will not be necessary. Removing a distro from your disk or reinstalling it might not fix the /home file system. Not sure what is going on there. I don't understand exactly what is happening, still scanning the forum entry.
[02:49] <SoulChild> Does anyone have an idea why grub writes wrong root partition to menu.lst???

[02:51] <buckdeer> wols: I think this is a freak occurrence with Edgy+some lesser known  Mercury motherboard. Higher res was possible with older distros.
[02:52] <predaeus> allan__, so by now you fixed the ubuntu grub entry to also boot DL tight?
[02:52] <predaeus> s/tight/right
[02:52] <SoulChild> allan_ no, it happens whenenever i install a new kernel in synaptics,...
[02:52] <Vorbote> allan__: first off, you don't run fsck on mount points, you do it on *device files*
[02:52] <allan__> pradaeus, I edited my ubuntu's grub entry to put DL
[02:52] <predaeus> ok
[02:53] <allan__> Vorbote, I ran fsck using a live CD
[02:53] <Vorbote> allan__: and those device files must be either unmounted or mounted read-only.
[02:53] <Vorbote> allan__: on /dev/hd[blah]  or /dev/sd[blah] ?
[02:53] <allan__> Vorbote, dev/hd
[02:54] <Vorbote> allan__: what was the error message?

[03:10] <jrib> ctothej: the wiki looks kind of disorganized, there's also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Firefox2AMD64Flash9Java .  I haven't set this up, so it's probably best to read through everything to get an idea of what has to be done and then choose the one you think makes the most sense and is easy to follow
[03:10] <novato_br> it's eth0
[03:10] <Horscht> where do I configure what the mountpoints in places -> my computer point to?
[03:10] <novato_br> eth0= ethenert0

[03:13] <HELP_ON_LIVECD> hack for what?
[03:13] <LjL> livingdaylight, you're looking at the wrong page. you shouldn't be compiling it, there's a .deb package available for Ubuntu.
[03:13] <wols> livingdaylight: use vmware. but that' snot supported here
[03:13] <livingdaylight> LjL, Change to the root directory of the sources and execute the configure script: ./configure.
[03:13] <livingdaylight> LjL, oh...sorry
[03:14] <livingdaylight> wols, i need something that is supported coz i need help with it :S
[03:14] <sivaji> Akuma_ check kmix if u r kubuntu use
[03:14] <HELP_ON_LIVECD> how do I make a .deb package?
[03:14] <sivaji> Akuma_ check kmix if u r kubuntu user
[03:14] <HELP_ON_LIVECD> !deb
[03:14] <ubotu> deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click on them (Ubuntu) or right-click and select Kubuntu Package Menu->install (Kubuntu)

[03:14] <HELP_ON_LIVECD> thnx
[03:14] <LjL> livingdaylight: well actually, the .deb that is available is for the non-open-source edition, so you might still prefer to compile it. but if you wanted something simple, compiling is not it
[03:14] <Horscht> how can I find out, what /dev/ entry my phisical CD Drive is?
[03:14] <livingdaylight> wols, unless you can tell me how to use VMware?  :p

[03:16] <livingdaylight> LjL, but how to use it? sorry if that sounds ridiculous, but i'venever used it. After i've installed Vmware what do i do basically?
[03:16] <zepeuga> thx
[03:16] <Akuma_> wols: thanks
[03:17] <ZeroA4> livingdaylight, to use VMware player you have to make a VM... VMplayer does not make it by itself but uses premade VMs
[03:17] <livingdaylight> LjL, i've got vmware player installed, but don't know where to go fromhere. Even though i'd prefer to support open-source, but that can come with time once i get my head around virtualization
[03:17] <sivaji> how to set firefox as my default browser when i click a link i want that to be opened  with firefox
[03:17] <jrib> sivaji: system -> preferences -> prefferred applications
[03:17] <Tom47> is the vmware-server-tools package in feisty intended for installation in the guest feisty or the host feisty/
[03:17] <livingdaylight> ZeroA4, so, if i've downloaded kubuntu; how do i now convert the iso into VM if that is what youre saying i need to do
[03:18] <ZeroA4> livingdaylight, you can make a VM using sites like easyvmx.com or using other VMwares like VMware Server. VMware Server is free too
[03:18] <yagami> can i use beryl on my laptop? i don't know whether its got 3dgraphic accelerator cards- a toshiba satellite.
[03:18] <LjL> livingdaylight, for vmware player, you need to somehow create the virtual machine files, as vmplayer theoretically only supports running "pre-made" virtual machines. the site http://www.easyvmx.com lets you do that easily
[03:18] <LjL> livingdaylight: with virtualbox, once you have the .deb package installed, you just start it and follow the wizard to create a new virtual machine.
[03:18] <ZeroA4> livingdaylight, no you will not convert
[03:18] <sivaji> jrib no such submenu in  kubuntu system
[03:18] <cabuloso> how do i configure the desktop effects on ubuntu ? i already enabled them and all is working, but i'd like to change some preferences...
[03:18] <ZeroA4> livingdaylight, you will have a new computer
[03:18] <jrib> sivaji: try #kubuntu if no one here knows
[03:18] <ZeroA4> livingdaylight, a virtual computer inside VMware
[03:19] <livingdaylight> ZeroA4, but i need to designate an os?
[03:19] <ZeroA4> livingdaylight, you will have to install a OS
[03:19] <ZeroA4> livingdaylight, yes
[03:19] <stefg> livingdaylight: it might be easier if you download a preinstalled vmware install of ubuntu from the vmware-site. You can get your feet wet without needing to go through an install
[03:19] <jrib> cabuloso: you can install gnome-compiz-manager and use that
[03:19] <ZeroA4> like any new computer
[03:19] <ZeroA4> new enptu computer
[03:19] <yagami> anyone?
[03:19] <ZeroA4> empty
[03:19] <livingdaylight> stefg, how do you suggest?
[03:19] <cabuloso> jrib, i'll try that. thanks !
[03:19] <yagami> i can't even boot with the live cd. starts gdm and then gets stuck :(
[03:20] <livingdaylight> LjL, the virualbox deb is not open-source?
[03:20] <ZeroA4> livingdaylight, The VMware Site has pre-made VMs to download
[03:20] <ZeroA4> livingdaylight, you can find in other sites too
[03:20] <LjL> livingdaylight: no, it isn't. VirtualBox comes in two editions, the open source one and the proprietary one, with some additional features. only the latter is available as a pre-compiled .deb; the former is available in source form only
[03:21] <ZeroA4> livingdaylight, Ive naver used VirtualBox but it works the same i supose
[03:21] <livingdaylight> ZeroA4, ok, so i've got vmware player  installed. Now i need to go to vmware website and pick an os?
[03:21] <LjL> ZeroA4: except i'm afraid there aren't many pre-made images available for it around yet
[03:21] <sumigamer> hey guys i got kde with a magazine cd and i want to install it on ubuntu. The problem is that the cd contains many diff, folders such as kdenetwork, kdegames, etc.
[03:21] <sumigamer> which do i installl first???
[03:21] <Znuff> Hi. Feisty has 2.6.20?
[03:21] <ZeroA4> LjL, yeah... but he mention it
[03:22] <stefg> livingdaylight:  http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/directory/844
[03:22] <ziroday> sumigamer: didnt the magazine give you instructions?
[03:22] <sumigamer> no..

[03:22] <ZeroA4> livingdaylight, VMware player plays VMs
[03:22] <allan__> I ran sudo e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/hda2 hoping that it will fix my filesystem but it did not
[03:22] <LjL> livingdaylight: err, i meant just http://isv-image.ubuntu.com/vmware/
[03:22] <ZeroA4> livingdaylight, you need a VM
[03:22] <livingdaylight> ZeroA4, where do i get a VM?
[03:22] <ZeroA4> It can be a empty VM. where you have to install a OS
[03:22] <ziroday> sumigamer: well then i wouldnt recommend trying to install kde as things will just get messy, use apt and get kubuntu
[03:22] <allan__> I edited the first post of this thread to add the output http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2765551#post2765551
[03:22] <ash_> Question... I have a duel boot system... with two hard drives.. one ext3 and one winfat32... the winfat32 is a serial drive and even though ubuntu places it in "My computer" or whatever it doesnt load the drive untill I double click on it and type in admin root password... is there any way to setup and have thatHD booted by default at startup?
[03:22] <ZeroA4> or a VM with a pre-instaled OS
[03:23] <LjL> livingdaylight: you've just been given an url. several, actually
[03:23] <sumigamer> i already have kubuntu 7.04 live install cd
[03:23] <ziroday> ash_: you could make a script
[03:23] <sumigamer> but i chose to install ubuntu...
[03:23] <ziroday> sumigamer: well do you want kde?
[03:23] <livingdaylight> LjL, ok, i just see your url has many zips any of those are VM's that'll open with vmware, correct?
[03:23] <ash_> ziroday: I admit that when it comes toscripts I am absolutely clueless on how :(
[03:24] <ziroday> ash_: same lol
[03:24] <LjL> livingdaylight: well, you will have to unzip them first (and then you'll find a .vmx file is contained in them, and that's the one that VMWare opens), but basically yes
[03:24] <aliask> Hi there all. A friend just accidentally formatted the wrong NTFS drive. Are there any linux programs that can recover that sort of thing?
[03:24] <ash_> Heh.. is that the only way?
[03:24] <sumigamer> yeah.....i sure want to try it out. i mean if i have those packages, why not use them??
[03:24] <ziroday> ash_: its the only way ive heard of tho
[03:24] <ash_> ziroday:  Noooooooooooo :( Just kidding.. okay.. thanks bud
[03:24] <LjL> aliask: quick formatting, or full formatting?
[03:24] <livingdaylight> LjL, i think i got it... let me deal with that...thx
[03:24] <aliask> LjL: mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1 <- whatever that is
[03:25] <ash_> ziroday: It's not THAT hard to type in admin password.. I'm just lazy :D
[03:25] <ziroday> sumigamer: well if you have the kubuntu disc you can go into synaptic and make the disc a repo, then install kubuntu ontop of your ubuntu
[03:25] <livingdaylight> LjL, looks like they take a while to download
[03:25] <aliask> He said it didn't take too long, so I'm guessing that it didn't do a full wipe
[03:25] <ziroday> ash_: if you could work out the mount command i could write you a scripr
[03:25] <sumigamer> but i would be able to select between the two, right???
[03:25] <ziroday> *script
[03:25] <ziroday> sumigamer: yes
[03:25] <LjL> livingdaylight, that's quite unsurprising - they're full-blown pre-installed Ubuntu system, they're bound to be at least as big as an Ubuntu CD.
[03:26] <sumigamer> so how do i do this??
[03:26] <ash_> ziroday: I'll figure it out bud... I'm just being lazy.. thank you for the offer though
[03:26] <ziroday> sumigamer: i just explained it to you......
[03:26] <LjL> aliask: quick formatting. you can probably recover some files, but not just magically recover the full filesystem as you left it.
[03:26] <LjL> !info testdisk > aliask
[03:26] <ziroday> ash_: sure
[03:26] <LjL> !info magicrescue > aliask
[03:26] <ziroday> ash_: thanks
[03:26] <novato_br> what did you mean, wols, whit:  "novato_br: if you don't hae a atheros wlan card, that entry is wrong" ?
[03:26] <Tom47> I am confused about where the package vmware-tools modules for Linux (kernel 2.6.20) is installed ... in the host or the guest
[03:27] <aliask> LjL: Thanks for the pointer
[03:27] <stefg> ash_: you can add it in /etc/fstab, but be aware that it's not riskless to have your win-drive mounted. you could accidentally damage your windows by doing stupid things in Linux then, too
[03:27] <sumigamer> yeah, but the cd contains other stuff too.........kde is just one folder out of the many linux software.
[03:27] <allan__> I had filesystem problems after installing another distro on another partition... I ran sudo e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/hda2 as I was advised but it did not work
[03:27] <ZeroA4> Tom47, the guest
[03:27] <allan__> can anybody help me repair my filesystem?

[03:34] <ransu75> Hi again :) I have also a problem with a vpn connection by PPTP to a windows 2000 server. I got the connection but I can not browse the windows netowrk, what can be wrong ?
[03:35] <stefg> low_on_ram: of course... but I'd think more in the direction of a diskless client.. so ide is broke, so no hd ever will work in that box again?
[03:35] <ZeroA4> novato_br, pvt
[03:35] <novato_br> mine too
[03:35] <novato_br> i can't pvt
[03:35] <novato_br> i'm not registered on freenode
[03:35] <ZeroA4> humm?
[03:35] <novato_br> how can i register on freenode?
[03:35] <low_on_ram> stefg, no. No IDE HDD can work on this laptop now :(. The connector does not sit in place properly.
[03:35] <kbrooks> IF I WANT TO USE PARTIMAGE can i dop down to single user mode and unmount / ?
[03:36] <hepcat57> does anyone know of any desktop sharing apps where i can host on ubuntu and share w/ Win users over the web?

[03:38] <Webodora> package
[03:38] <RabidWeezle> Alright, just updated from edgy to feisty and I can't access my windows machines over the wireless network anymore using places>network link. I can ping a pc on the network, and of course I am online using the router... any help?
[03:39] <livingdaylight> ZeroA4, i'm downloading it... it does what i thought vmware did. That is select an iso and make a virtualos out of it
[03:39] <novella> Im get ubuntu with the live cd and I havent got a line
[03:39] <predaeus> yazeed_, please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly. thank you.
[03:39] <stefg> low_on_ram: is this machine in a network with a server which could act as a PXE-boot server?
[03:39] <VoX> what does this mean? Message from syslogd@Hagalaz at Sat Jun  2 23:35:10 2007 ...
[03:39] <VoX> Hagalaz kernel: [25591.316000]  Eeek! page_mapcount(page) went negative! (-1)
[03:39] <ZeroA4> livingdaylight, but i think its not waht you want
[03:39] <Kalevi> omfg.. there are 1112 people online and nobody even can help??? f hell..
[03:39] <livingdaylight> ZeroA4, ok... ?
[03:39] <bigcx2> Webodora: have you tried eagle-usb-utils
[03:40] <stefg> low_on_ram: so you just use that as a terminal (thin-client) which would even solve the low-on-ram problem
[03:40] <low_on_ram> stefg, this machine cannot be on a network.
[03:40] <Webodora> bigcx2 yes but there is lot of version
[03:40] <bigcx2> that should do the trick
[03:40] <low_on_ram> stefg, how can I convert this system into a thin client? Any articles? Or should I just stfw?
[03:40] <Frogzoo> VoX: kernel bug I'd say
[03:40] <RabidWeezle> Alright, just updated from edgy to feisty and I can't access my windows machines over the wireless network anymore using places>network link. I can ping a pc on the network, and of course I am online using the router... any help?
[03:41] <bigcx2> if you do an apt-cache show it will tell you how to go about installing it
[03:41] <stefg> low_on_ram: edubuntu makes extensive use of that, maybe start at !edubuntu
[03:41] <stefg> !edubuntu
[03:41] <ubotu> Edubuntu is an Ubuntu derivative aimed at schools and educational institutions. For more info, see http://www.edubuntu.org
[03:41] <low_on_ram> aah thank you.
[03:41] <stefg> !ltsp
[03:41] <ubotu> LTSP is the Linux Terminal Server Project, which adds thin-client support to Linux servers. See chapter 3 of the !edubuntuhandbook, http://www.ltsp.org and/or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Terminal_Server_Project
[03:41] <low_on_ram> stefg, thank's for the pointer.
[03:42] <livingdaylight> stefg, can i ask you about vmware... is it like a live cd or can i while i'm in one virtual os or another use it and have it use hard drive to save programs/applications and music and documentation and lose it when i exit?
[03:42] <rsl> Quick question: nicotine or museek?
[03:43] <livingdaylight> rsl, i use nicotine+
[03:43] <rsl> livingdaylight, ever looked at museek?
[03:44] <yagami> anyone here use beryl on a toshiba satellite?
[03:44] <ipx> well, i smoke but i'll take the music before the nicotine for sure.
[03:44] <ipx> : >
[03:44] <livingdaylight> rsl, sorry ^^ so, my opinion is not objective
[03:44] <mignea> hy all
[03:44] <yagami> i am having trouble using livecd- it just freezes up on me soon after gdm starts.
[03:44] <livingdaylight> rsl, but i use nicotine+ and i know it rocks
[03:44] <stefg> livingdaylight: it's just like having a separate, new computer (with its own harddsk) the only difference is just that it is /virtual/ using resources of your actual computer
[03:44] <stefg> !virtualizers | livingdaylight
[03:44] <ubotu> livingdaylight: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu or !qvm86), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications
[03:44] <rsl> I think I'm gonna follow suit. If only because nicotine+ is a higher release number than museek+
[03:46] <whonicca> for some reason i cant enable the nvidia drivers via the restricted drivers applet, this is a clean install of ubuntu, http://pastebin.ca/531368 is my xorg.conf, and heres a screenshot of the applet  http://www.zshare.net/image/2113595d0e0d41/ , can someone please help me out
[03:46] <rsl> livingdaylight, did you compile or install from repos?
[03:46] <livingdaylight> thx, stefg, i always thought before that like a live cd because it is virtual that all saved data gets lost upon exiting. but it remains accessible the next time i go back into the virtual os is what i understand you to say... i hope...thanks again
[03:46] <ROnewbie> Hi all; I need some help figuring out why my wireless card won't connect. I'm running Feisty on an MSI S271X laptop, with an RT61 card. I followed ALL the help pages in the forums, and I've been struggling with this for over 3 weeks now. Any available gurus, please help!
[03:47] <livingdaylight> rsl, there is in the repos, but not the latest 1.2.6; for the latest 1.2.7 you need to compile :
[03:47] <Ikitt> j/j #ubuntu-it
[03:47] <rsl> livingdaylight, you on the latest or repo?
[03:47] <livingdaylight> rsl, on the latest - its worth it ^^
[03:47] <fivetwentysix> What's the easiest way to install GTK+-2.0?
[03:47] <whonicca> for some reason i cant enable the nvidia drivers via the restricted drivers applet, this is a clean install of ubuntu, http://pastebin.ca/531368 is my xorg.conf, and heres a screenshot of the applet  http://www.zshare.net/image/2113595d0e0d41/ , can someone please help me out
[03:47] <livingdaylight> rsl, although the one in the repos works just fine too
[03:48] <rsl> oooh new version came out yesterday.
[03:48] <Aerotwelve> Hey everyone: Last night I was told that it would be possible to use my new ati card with Ubuntu by running a text install and installing some drivers afterwards. I get "Failed to start X Server" errors. Any thoughts?
[03:48] <hepcat58> Trynemjoel: looking for more of a web conferencing solution...have tried yugma (no linux hosting yet) and installing windows host software under wine...no luck yet
[03:48] <dr_willis> Aerotwelve,  whats the specific card?
[03:48] <E42> hi , ive got XFCE and i want to delete the "Inne" can someone help me ?? screen here ; http://img400.imageshack.us/my.php?image=200706021545311024x768sov7.png
[03:48] <Trynemjoel> hepcat57, What about Skype?
[03:48] <VoX> Frogzoo: who would i report it to?
[03:48] <Aerotwelve> dr_willis: ATI Mobility Radeon X1600.
[03:49] <dr_willis> Aerotwelve,  not sure how well the ati fglrx drivers support that. You can always install it and see.
[03:49] <dr_willis> !fglrx
[03:49] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:49] <Aerotwelve> Thanks, I'll try them.
[03:49] <dr_willis> i forget the exact command to ijnstall them from the shell
[03:50] <Aerotwelve> And how am I to get them to the laptop?
[03:50] <andrewmac> What's good for a shared partition between windows and linux? FAT32?
[03:50] <SoulChild> !hibernate
[03:50] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hibernate - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:50] <nox-Hand> Where do I set fonts? In /home/myuser/?
[03:50] <ziroday> andrewmac: yeah fat32 is good
[03:50] <dr_willis> Aerotwelve,  i use the apt-get system. to install them. You got no network connection on that laptop?
[03:50] <dr_willis> !ifs
[03:50] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ifs - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:51] <E42> anyone know how to delete this "inne" ?? http://img400.imageshack.us/my.php?image=200706021545311024x768sov7.png
[03:51] <dr_willis> Theres a tool that lets windows read/write to ext2/3 filesystems
[03:51] <dr_willis> easier then haveing a dedicated fat32 partition
[03:51] <Aerotwelve> dr_willis: I should be able to, my other laptops did work out of the box. I'll attempt it, otherwise I'll do a direct connection to use apt.
[03:51] <stefg> andrewmac: if you can live with fragmentation and 4 Gb filesize-limit...
[03:51] <jrib> nox-Hand: system -> preferences -> fonts
[03:51] <livingdaylight> ZeroA4, you see, i'm just learning this virtualization thing so i can convert my laptop to Linux too (currently working from Desktop) Due to business needs i have to have xp on my laptop but if i can suss this virtualization out then i can install Linux / install vmware, and run xp that way! good idea?
[03:52] <dr_willis> Aerotwelve,  theres several packages that  will get downloaded.
[03:52] <ZeroA4> livingdaylight, yes
[03:52] <andrewmac> I still don't understand why there is no native NTFS support... but it's all good :D
[03:52] <ZeroA4> livingdaylight, that what i do
[03:52] <stefg> livingdaylight: given you have at least 512 MB of am in that Notebook
[03:52] <livingdaylight> ZeroA4, yea!? cool
[03:52] <ZeroA4> livingdaylight, i am at my jobs computer
[03:52] <rsl> livingdaylight, thanks a lot for the help. :)
[03:53] <dr_willis> andrewmac,  i hear thentfs support under ubuntu has gotten quite good.
[03:53] <livingdaylight> stefg, i sure do, infact gonna increase it to 1gb to be on the safe side
[03:53] <ZeroA4> i did a dual boot and instaled VMware with XP on Ubuntu
[03:53] <livingdaylight> rsl, np ^^ see you there! i have the same nickname
[03:53] <ZeroA4> livingdaylight, i manage to setup the XP to use less than 128MB
[03:53] <livingdaylight> ZeroA4, and running xp for example via vmware is as quick and safe?
[03:53] <predaeus> E42, what is an "inne"? you could also ask in #ubuntu-pl or #xubuntu or #xfce
[03:54] <ROnewbie> Anyone ? RT61 wi-fi card installed, drivers too, network manager sees all my wireless network, but it won't connect to any of them, encrypted or not.
[03:54] <ROnewbie> Ideas ?
[03:54] <ZeroA4> i stoped a lot of servies folling blackviper.com reference
[03:54] <ROnewbie> *networks
[03:54] <livingdaylight> ZeroA4, coz live cd's are so noisy but of course this is totally different, but i just wondered whether it being less 'direct' it might be a bit slower
[03:54] <ZeroA4> livingdaylight, it is quick... but XP is resorce hungry...
[03:55] <E42> predaeus, inne means OTHER , there are activators to diablo2 and warcraft3 i want to delete them i dont need them there. And on ubuntu-pl they are all asholes , they dont answer me -.-
[03:55] <marco_linux> hi
[03:55] <predaeus> andrewc_, Microsoft does not tell how NTFS works, that's why. The drivers available have been reverse engineered as far as I know.
[03:55] <hepcat58> Trynemjoel: does skype support desktop sharing under *nix?
[03:55] <livingdaylight> ZeroA4, yea, my xp on my lenovo R60e is dead-slow
[03:55] <livingdaylight> ZeroA4, i mean in a relative sense. As long as it is not even slower ^^
[03:55] <Trynemjoel> hepcat57, The app you mention appear to launch from the website, but you can't start a session?
[03:55] <predaeus> andrewc_, sorry wrong nick
[03:55] <Temery> !
[03:55] <Temery> salut
[03:55] <predaeus> andrewmac,  Microsoft does not tell how NTFS works, that's why. The drivers available have been reverse engineered as far as I know.
[03:56] <ZeroA4> livingdaylight, test it... a new instaled XP in a VMware can run fast
[03:56] <livingdaylight> ZeroA4, and it is vmware-player you use in your case aswell?
[03:56] <Aerotwelve> dr_willis: Alright, I just ran the apt command, which means I guess I do have a network connection. Anyway, It said "linux-restricted-modules-generic is already at the latest version, and at the bottom it reads 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded"
[03:56] <ZeroA4> livingdaylight, yes
[03:56] <livingdaylight> ok
[03:56] <predaeus> E42, please don't use swear words here. trying to keep this channel family friendly.
[03:56] <dr_willis> Aerotwelve,  farther down the list it mentions a comman to activate the fglrx drivers
[03:56] <E42> predaeus,k sryt
[03:56] <ZeroA4> livingdaylight, i will capture a screen for you
[03:57] <C_Kode> Ubuntu 7; how do you install glibc-devel?
[03:57] <livingdaylight> ZeroA4, ok, thanks!
[03:57] <Aerotwelve> dr_willis: Those will work even though they are for an older version of Ubunutu?
[03:57] <predaeus> E42, sorry I do not know how to alter the existing application menu, only how to add more options in an extra directory.
[03:57] <hepcat58> Trynemjoel: you mean yugma?  Yes, they are currently "working" on desktop sharing for the linux version...it's Java based so I'm hoping soon
[03:57] <andrewmac> lol predaeus, I'm pretty sure NTFS is nicely documented :P
[03:57] <E42> predaeus,thanks anyway !
[03:58] <dr_willis> Aerotwelve,  the diff tween feisty and the last are minor. they  'should' of been done automaticially. but might of failed
[03:58] <C_Kode> Anyone?  I see glibc-doc, but do not see glibc-devel in the package manager
[03:58] <bobsumone> this friggan server is driving me nuts
[03:58] <Trynemjoel> hepcat57, i beleive VNC works for sharing your desktop
[03:58] <bobsumone> check this out, im runing ubuntu server (7.04) and im trying to do a router
[03:58] <predaeus> andrewmac, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ntfs 2nd paragraph, but this is offtopic and should not be discussed more deeply here. sorry for bringing the topic up again.
[03:59] <bobsumone> got the hardware
[03:59] <bobsumone> set up the dhcp
[03:59] <bobsumone> did the iptables
[03:59] <bobsumone> *drum roll*..... nothing
[03:59] <Trynemjoel> but maybe not in the way you wish :S
[03:59] <Aerotwelve> dr_willis: Alright. I ran the first command "sudo apt-get update". I got this message. "E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11 Resource Temporarily Unavailable)" and "Unable to lock the list directory". Can you tell me what these mean?
[04:00] <Frogzoo> bobsumone: 'nothing'? what's the problem?
[04:00] <dr_willis> Aerotwelve,  means you got somthing else running the package manager tools for some reason
[04:00] <stefg> !info libc6-dev | C_Kode
[04:00] <ubotu> c_kode: libc6-dev: GNU C Library: Development Libraries and Header Files. In component main, is optional. Version 2.5-0ubuntu14 (feisty), package size 2947 kB, installed size 12236 kB
[04:00] <bobsumone> Frogzoo: the packets are being lost at the server I guess
[04:00] <DD_busy> hey
[04:00] <bobsumone> i can ping the server
[04:00] <Aerotwelve> dr_willis: Can I force close whatever is using it in some way?
[04:00] <bobsumone> but i cant resolve hosts or ip's outside of the 192.168.1.x network
[04:01] <ZeroA4> livingdaylight, http://img124.imageshack.us/my.php?image=capturadatelafv3.png
[04:01] <dr_willis> Aerotwelve,  you see any open?  could be a lock file that never got released
[04:01] <dr_willis> !aptfix
[04:01] <ubotu> If Adept crashed on you and your database is locked, try this in konsole:  sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a 
[04:01] <Frogzoo> bobsumone: sure it's not a dns issue? are you running a local dns server?
[04:01] <DD_busy> anyone free to give some assistance with beryl? I have it working for the most part but there's some issues I need to iron out
[04:01] <livingdaylight> ZeroA4, its taking its time to download ^^
[04:02] <humbolto> something is very wrong with my feisty!
[04:02] <dr_willis> DD_busy,  that pretty much describes Beryl :)
[04:02] <ZeroA4> livingdaylight, your nick is a song from a-ha, isnt it ?
[04:02] <stefg> !beryl | DD_busy
[04:02] <C_Kode> stefg: thanks
[04:02] <ubotu> DD_busy: Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[04:02] <bobsumone> frogzoo: see thats what I figured, I did the bind9 but it didnt seem to help much
[04:02] <livingdaylight> ZeroA4, yes! James Bond movie theme
[04:02] <Rynoo> I have an older Dell Latitude CPI, trying to install Ubuntu, however I can't figure out how to boot from cdrom (the usualy F-keys are not doing the trick) anyone know?
[04:02] <dr_willis> Rynoo,  you ever gotten this thing to boot off the cdrom?
[04:03] <humbolto> When I use linux-generic image, my CPU is stuck at max-speed, top shows over 70% CPU but there are now tasks in the list presented below, which would indicate that!
[04:03] <bobsumone> frogzoo: i kinda cross linked the dns server info to the server itself. I set the DNS for the whole network as the DNS i got from the comcast router
[04:03] <Rynoo> drif: never, it was given to me this morning
[04:03] <Aerotwelve> dr_willis: I ran the above command, nothing echoed on the screen, so I thought it went okay, but I'm still having the same problems. And since I'm not in a graphical mode, I would have no idea how to check for running programs, lol.
[04:03] <livingdaylight> ZeroA4, but the name also has other sources which inpired me rather, but you're right
[04:03] <stefg> !boot | Rynoo
[04:03] <ubotu> Rynoo: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto
[04:03] <humbolto> I have no CPU hungry apps open at all.
[04:03] <Rynoo> dr_willis: sorry, no.
[04:03] <hepcat58> Trynemjoel: yes VNC would work in general, but the problem is these are clients so they are not on my network, and I'm in an office situation where I don't have a dedicated IP
[04:03] <ZeroA4> livingdaylight, my Ubuntu and XP are im Brazilian Portuguese
[04:03] <humbolto> When I use i386 kernel, everything is normal!
[04:03] <dr_willis> Aerotwelve,  sounds to me like somthing crashed and goofed up the apt subsystem.
[04:03] <dr_willis> Aerotwelve,  could try the old windows-fix and reboot.
[04:03] <Aerotwelve> Reboot? heh.
[04:04] <livingdaylight> ZeroA4, Sweet... i can see Ubuntu in the background and XP in the smaller window
[04:04] <jrib> C_Kode: what do you want glibc-devel to be?
[04:04] <inv_arp[work] > bah.. whats the apt-get package that install gcc build tools etc..
[04:04] <C_Kode> jrib: I was installing SDL-dev and it required it
[04:04] <jrib> inv_arp[work] : build-essential
[04:04] <inv_arp[work] > thx
[04:04] <bobsumone> hmmmm i think i missed something in iptables.....
[04:04] <ZeroA4> livingdaylight, thats my work computer..
[04:05] <jrib> C_Kode: how were you installing sdl-dev?  If you used APT, it should automatically take care of dependencies
[04:05] <livingdaylight> ZeroA4, you have your panel at the bottom i see... intersting^^ also do you use workstations?
[04:05] <bobsumone> hey Frogzoo: when I turn loggin on through iptables, where does the log end up?
[04:05] <fivetwentysix> Where can i install GTK+-2.0 and GDK+-2.0
[04:05] <jrib> fivetwentysix: you already have them
[04:05] <ZeroA4> livingdaylight,  What youi mean ?
[04:05] <C_Kode> jrib: it kept telling me it the package didn't exist.  I had that same problem installing MySQL-devel
[04:05] <ctothej> jrib: those links worked out great. i'm up and running with 32bit firefox Flash and Java fully working. thank you.

[04:06] <jrib> C_Kode: pastebin the command you used, the full output, and your sources.list please
[04:06] <Gasten> Argh!! All my programs chrashes whrn I try to boot them!
[04:06] <C_Kode> SDL is now installed.
[04:06] <C_Kode> got to go
[04:06] <spawn311> has anyone experience firefox cutting off web page headers during printing?
[04:06] <livingdaylight> ZeroA4, some call 'em workstations, or Desktops....one can make as many as one likes generally you see about 4 at the bottom
[04:06] <livingdaylight> ZeroA4, or workspaces?
[04:06] <sahil_> anyone know how to overclock a laptop for higher FSB ?
[04:06] <predaeus> Gasten, run them in a terminal/console to see if they print error messages you could use to pinpoint the problem.
[04:07] <ZeroA4> livingdaylight, not much
[04:07] <dr_willis> spawn311,  ive seen that - check the printer settings/default paper size for a start
[04:07] <fivetwentysix> jrib: The configure file in Anjuta when creating a project says No package 'gtk+-2.0' found and 'gdk-2.0'
[04:07] <Gasten> I pres the icon, the "program starting"(or whatever it sais in english) comes up, and then dicapears.
[04:07] <ZeroA4> livingdaylight, getting using to i yet
[04:07] <stefg> !offtopic | sahil, please go to #hardware
[04:07] <ubotu> sahil, please go to #hardware: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[04:07] <livingdaylight> ZeroA4, enables less clutter... So, you can have for example 4 different applications in each one rather than all crowded in one window
[04:07] <Gasten> predaeus: I cant even opena xterm!!
[04:07] <ZeroA4> livingdaylight, i did remove them from this computer
[04:07] <jrib> fivetwentysix: you need the corresponding -dev package to compile with them.  But, anjuta is in the repos, no need to compile
[04:07] <Trynemjoel> hepcat58, sounds very much like you could use Groove from Microsoft Office 2007 :)
[04:07] <Gasten> predaeus: trying another tty
[04:07] <predaeus> Gasten, yes
[04:07] <ZeroA4> livingdaylight, i am using at home
[04:07] <fivetwentysix> jrib i installed anjuta from the repos
[04:08] <fivetwentysix> I'm trying to create a GTK 2.0 project with Anjuta
[04:08] <ZeroA4> livingdaylight, trying to get used to it
[04:08] <fivetwentysix> but it returns those errors i mentioned
[04:08] <jrib> fivetwentysix: oh I see.  Well make sure you have build-essential and libgtk2.0-dev
[04:08] <Trynemjoel> hepcat58, logmein.com also has a remote access service, but not sure if they will satisfy the needs with respect to that it's customers that will bec connecting to the computer
[04:08] <novato_br> !wallpapers
[04:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about wallpapers - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:08] <stefg> fivetwentysix: all the gtk-*-dev packages installed?
[04:08] <novato_br> what?
[04:08] <wols> novato_br: that "ath0" entry in the interfaces file you pasted is wrong
[04:08] <livingdaylight> ZeroA4, i love it. For example i have X-chat in one window, Amarok in another, Firefox in the third, and gimp inthe fourth
[04:09] <Aerotwelve> dr_willis: Alright, when trying to apt-get, I "cannot resolve 'us.archive.ubunutu.com". Does this mean I have no wireless connection?
[04:09] <fivetwentysix> Just installed build-essential
[04:09] <novato_br> what, wols ?
[04:09] <predaeus> fivetwentysix, you need the -dev packages
[04:09] <stefg> fivethere you have it... that's not enough
[04:09] <livingdaylight> ZeroA4, just right-click and 'add workspace'
[04:09] <fivetwentysix> and libgetk2.0-deb installing now :-)
[04:09] <wols> novato_br: you pasted "ath0". that is wrong
[04:09] <dr_willis> Aerotwelve,  wirless? ICK :)
[04:09] <ZeroA4> livingdaylight, :)
[04:09] <novato_br> ZeroA4, plz what wols does he mean?
[04:09] <novato_br> cool
[04:09] <Gasten> predaeus: seems nomal in the tty..
[04:09] <novato_br> wols,
[04:09] <fivetwentysix> Thank jrib, been searching the repositries for ages looking for the right package to install
[04:09] <dr_willis> Aerotwelve,  sounds like it to me. i suggst using a wire for a while. That may be the cause of the whole issue.
[04:09] <novato_br> pvt, plz
[04:10] <Aerotwelve> dr_willis: Alright, I'll go plug it in, thanks.
[04:10] <wols> novato_br: ath0 is not eth0 as you said. there is no "eth0" in your /etc/network/interfaces
[04:10] <Gasten> predaeus: but it stil deoasn't work in the gui...
[04:10] <ZeroA4> novato_br, humm
[04:10] <dr_willis> Aerotwelve,  if it had been wired during install.. it might of allready did all the work. :) perhaps..not sure.
[04:10] <livingdaylight> ZeroA4, my VM is still downloading... so gonna pop out ... thanks amigo... hasta la proxima
[04:10] <novato_br> i cant understand very well him, Zeelot
[04:10] <novato_br> ZeroA4,
[04:11] <Gasten> predaeus: I'll try a reboot.
[04:11] <predaeus> Gasten, does dmesg, or /var/log/syslog or /var/log/xlog (or what it is called) report anything unusual?
[04:11] <wols> novato_br: paste your /etc/network/interfaces again. this time in a pastebin
[04:11] <ZeroA4> wols, ok i transleated to him
[04:11] <ZeroA4> livingdaylight, :)
[04:12] <wols> novato_br: do not /msg me. /ignore novato_br
[04:12] <novato_br> sorry
[04:12] <novato_br> wols, plz
[04:12] <novato_br> i need your help
[04:12] <Antipeibol> hola?
[04:13] <livingdaylight> Antipeibol, !es
[04:13] <Myrtti> *yawn*
[04:13] <novato_br> are you say my networking configuration file should be eth0 or ath0 ?
[04:13] <Gasten> predaeus: nothing in dmesg, and either syslog and xlog doesn't exist.
[04:13] <boojah> i need some help.. im trying to get the nvidia beta driver (100.14.06) to work.. but i miss the nvidia-kernel-module. I have the kernel module for the 9755 driver.. how do i get the one i need?

[04:13] <wols> boojah: boojah what videocard do you have?
[04:13] <boojah> 8800 gts
[04:13] <n2diy> I have an IBM Thinkpad 760xd, which won't boot from the cd, any ideas how to install Dapper on it?
[04:13] <spawn311> dr_willis: what the problem? the printer?
[04:13] <wols> boojah: the driver you got from nvidia comes witht he kernel module. but you need to compile it
[04:14] <spawn311> or was it the web browser
[04:14] <predaeus> Gasten, hm weird, well if you changed nothing try to restart X or so with "sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart".
[04:14] <wols> boojah: and 97.55 will work fine for you
[04:14] <Gasten> predaeus: ok
[04:14] <dr_willis> spawn311,   i saw the other day - the system was defaulting to the larger a4 paper by default on my printers. I had to change it to US legal for me.
[04:14] <boojah> ok... but i only have the binary..
[04:14] <predaeus> Gasten, this will bring down your irc client or course
[04:14] <thirdy> Desktop menu won't show up
[04:14] <Gasten> predaeus: yes.
[04:14] <thirdy> pls help
[04:14] <boojah> 9755 works.. but i have a bug
[04:14] <boojah> want to test the beta
[04:14] <thirdy> I'm using xfce
[04:14] <novato_br> wols, thx you
[04:14] <Gasten> predaeus: Will alt+ctr+bckspace work aswell?
[04:14] <spawn311> dr_willis: after u change the from a4 to letter did everything print correctly?
[04:15] <predaeus> Gasten, it is not recommended, I think the other method respects lock files more and so on.
[04:15] <Gasten> predaeus: ok.
[04:15] <boojah> how do i compile the right kernel-module?
[04:15] <boojah> don't i need the source then?
[04:16] <dr_willis> spawn311,  i think so. havent noticed the issue since.
[04:16] <whonicca> for some reason i cant enable the nvidia drivers via the restricted drivers applet, this is a clean install of ubuntu, http://pastebin.ca/531368 is my xorg.conf, and heres a screenshot of the applet  http://www.zshare.net/image/2113595d0e0d41/ , can someone please help me out
[04:16] <dr_willis> spawn311,  but i got so many networked pc's and printers. i cant be sure. :) ive had many other printing issues with web sites and brpwsers. but not seen thatissue recently
[04:16] <fivetwentysix> gtkmm/accelgroup.h: No such file or directory
[04:16] <spawn311> dr_willis: which web browser were you printing from? firefox?
[04:16] <fivetwentysix> gtkmm/window.h: No surhc file or directory
[04:16] <Luxurious> Hi guys.
[04:16] <fivetwentysix> Is there anything else I need to install?
[04:17] <wols> fivetwentysix: gtkmm-dev package I guess
[04:17] <wols> !info gtkmm-dev
[04:17] <Aerotwelve> How do I stop an apt process?
[04:17] <dr_willis> spawn311,  mainly firefox.. but on different machines and os's
[04:17] <ubotu> Package gtkmm-dev does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[04:17] <fivetwentysix> E: Couldn't find package gtkmm-dev
[04:17] <predaeus> whonicca, this is definitely a bug. you could install the drivers yourself. I think you need nvidia-glx and restricted-drivers... packages for that. then change the "nv" in the xorg.conf drivers section (make backup of xorg.conf first) to "nvidia"
[04:17] <Luxurious> I was wondering, do you guys know a solution that would allow you to remotely control a music library for Ubuntu.  The thing is I want my computer to act as a library for my music and play it upon request remotely (it's connected to an amplifier and speakers).
[04:17] <whonicca> predaeus, thank you
[04:18] <fivetwentysix> libgtkmm-dev?
[04:18] <wols> fivetwentysix: packages.ubuntu.com
[04:18] <Gasten> predaeus: it seems to work now. thanks!
[04:18] <nox-Hand>                         vmware, and run xp that way! good idea?
[04:18] <nox-Hand> 06:51 -!- nodar [n=nodar@86.72.140.8]  has quit ["Quitte"] 
[04:18] <nox-Hand> 06:51 -!- linuxor [n=linuxor@222.130.188.112]  has joined #ubuntu
[04:18] <nox-Hand> 06:52 -!- linuxor [n=linuxor@222.130.188.112]  has left #ubuntu ["Leaving"] 
[04:18] <nox-Hand> 06:52 < dr_willis> Aerotwelve,  theres several packages that  will get [07:18]  [nox-Hand(+ei)]  [8:#ubuntu(+Lcfntz #ubuntu [Act: 2,3,4,5,7,9,10,12,13] 
[04:18] <nox-Hand> [#ubuntu] 
[04:18] <nox-Hand> wtf o_o
[04:18] <predaeus> whonicca, then you just reboot to load the drivers. should work but sometimes something messes up. then just edit xorg.conf and change it back to "nv" again to use the old drivers to fix the problem.
[04:18] <dr_willis> heh
[04:18] <nox-Hand> Sorry to everyone.. ***goes to hide***
[04:18] <spawn311> dr_willis: do u know of good web browser that is non-mozilla (aka not firefox) based so I can see if that is the issue or not?
[04:18] <Panda200x> Opera?
[04:18] <Trynemjoel> no worries nox-Hand  :P
[04:18] <dr_willis> spawn311,  could go try opera
[04:18] <wols> spawn311: konqueror?
[04:18] <Aerotwelve> Konquer?
[04:19] <spawn311> ok thanks guys
[04:19] <dr_willis> spawn311,  but i recall other odd printing issuesd with it ages ago.
[04:19] <dr_willis> Then again - printing anything these days from a web site - often has issues it seems :(
[04:19] <spawn311> can't knock until u try it
[04:19] <Aerotwelve> Does anyone here know how do stop an ongoing apt process?
[04:19] <predaeus> whonicca, so you will at least be able to surf the web looking for solutions or joining this irc channel. the nv drivers stay on you system if you do not remove them. good as a backup solution.
[04:19] <wols> Aerotwelve: kill
[04:19] <predaeus> Gasten, ok, nice. but still weird.
[04:20] <Allex> Hi everyone
[04:20] <Aerotwelve> wols: My command line says: "26% [Connecting to us.archive.ubuntu.com] " and I can't type anything in. Is there any sort of key command?
[04:20] <wols> Aerotwelve: ctrl+c perhaps. or just kill apt-get
[04:20] <dr_willis> Aerotwelve,  sounds to me like its downloading stuff from the server and taking its time.
[04:20] <Gasten> predaeus: Yes. Never happened before. I haven't even been messing with my configs lately. and the computer have worked fine the past 6 hours :/
[04:20] <Allex> does anyone know how to ad Widgets with beryl?
[04:21] <wols> !effects | Allex
[04:21] <ubotu> Allex: For help with Beryl or Compiz desktop effects, please go to #ubuntu-effects.
[04:21] <Allex> tnx
[04:21] <Aerotwelve> dr_willis: Hmm, They're all getting resolve errors, though, so I assumed it was nothing.
[04:21] <predaeus> Gasten, hm yes. nice thing with linux is that you can just restart the X server instead of rebooting the whole machine.
[04:22] <Gasten> predaeus: Yes. saves time :)
[04:22] <dr_willis> Aerotwelve,  that sounds like  networking is not confgured right then
[04:22] <borivali> I need help configuring the resolution of login screen
[04:22] <Panda200x> Can someone help me get DWL-G520+ Drivers for  the Live CD (or help me get wifi working.)
[04:23] <wols> Panda200x: what chip does that card use?
[04:23] <al_islam> hi
[04:23] <Panda200x> i ran lspci, so I got this http://img242.imageshack.us/img242/2546/chipsetnq7.png
[04:23] <al_islam> hi
[04:23] <al_islam> hi
[04:23] <Panda200x> :P Kinda new to linux and Konsole
[04:23] <al_islam> hi
[04:23] <al_islam> hi
[04:23] <Panda200x> Hello
[04:23] <predaeus> borivali, I think it should be the same as your desktop's resolution. if the wallpaper of the login theme does not fit, you probably need another theme or need to edit it.
[04:23] <al_islam> how are yoy???
[04:24] <Panda200x> dunno
[04:24] <borivali> how do I do that
[04:24] <al_islam> are you english??
[04:24] <roryy> al_islam: if you want to just chat, please join #ubuntu-offtopic ; this channel is for ubuntu support
[04:24] <Panda200x> I speak english
[04:24] <Panda200x> :P
[04:24] <predaeus> borivali, what login screen do you mean? the gdm/kdm login?
[04:24] <al_islam> oh very good??
[04:24] <wols> Panda200x: you need to download the acx driver, compile and install it. get the firmware to /lib/firmware/ and from then on it's like any other wlan
[04:25] <Panda200x> Cheers :D
[04:25] <al_islam> im arabic put i learn english
[04:25] <predaeus> borivali, I mean, the gnome or kde login screens, right?
[04:25] <borivali> yes I think so - its the one that I have to type in my name and passwd
[04:25] <al_islam> from where are you
[04:25] <Panda200x> #ubuntu-offtopic for talking
[04:25] <Panda200x> ;)
[04:25] <borivali>  I had changed the resolution for desktop but why does it not change for the login as well
[04:26] <al_islam> panda200x
[04:26] <wols> !ot | al_islam
[04:26] <ubotu> al_islam: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[04:26] <predaeus> borivali, yes, if you have e.g. a widescreen monitor it might be stretched or so. depends on the theme. look at art.gnome.org  and gnome-look.org for gdm (gnome login) themes
[04:26] <borivali> then?
[04:26] <predaeus> borivali, you can install them just by dragging the downloaded package onto the gdm login manager window
[04:26] <al_islam> how are you ubtou
[04:27] <predaeus> borivali, the settings application, not sure what exactly it was called, just drag the theme file (whole package) onto that to install.
[04:27] <ziroday> ubotu is a bot
[04:27] <ubotu> Yes, I can confirm that I am a bot. http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots for all information.
[04:27] <borivali> is there no way to keep this login theme
[04:27] <Cockroach> anybody know about mdadm?

[04:27] <ubotu> Cockroach: 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?
[04:27] <Cockroach> yep sorry
[04:27] <wols> Panda200x: do not randomly /msg people. /ignore Panda200x
[04:28] <Panda200x> :/ ok
[04:28] <predaeus> borivali, not sure. you could look for where it is installed then check it's config files and probably also resize the background image to your liking.
[04:28] <low_on_ram> stefg, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromUSB  exactly what I wanted
[04:28] <Cockroach> why do i get this when trying to grow a raid mdadm: Need to backup 5376K of critical section..
[04:28] <pietro10> Hello, anyone there?
[04:28] <LjL> no
[04:28] <Enselic_> !ftp
[04:28] <borivali> In system-->preferences-->screen resolution wont it change using this ?
[04:28] <ubotu> FTP clients: !Nautilus, !gFTP (for !GNOME) - !Konqueror, !Kasablanca, !KFTPGrabber (for !KDE) - See also !FTPd
[04:29] <Enselic_> !Nautilus
[04:29] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nautilus - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:29] <borivali> I have Ubuntu 7.04
[04:29] <predaeus> borivali, yes, but this will also change your desktops resolution then
[04:29] <Cockroach> and then this comes up "mdadm: Cannot set device size/shape for /dev/md1: Invalid argument" how do i solve this?
[04:29] <stefg> low_on_ram: yeah, that's what i menat. But you still need a custom-CD which will enable you to boot the OS from an USB stick, if you can't boot directly
[04:30] <low_on_ram> stefg, will this not help me? http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Making-a-GRUB-bootable-CD-ROM.html
[04:30] <m`kay> Hi guys.
[04:30] <borivali> I had done this thng but the login screen resolution did not change only the desktop resolution changed
[04:30] <predaeus> borivali, if you are interested you could look at http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/GDM and http://live.gnome.org/GnomeArt/Tutorials/GdmThemes to see how a gdm theme basically is made up and how it works.
[04:30] <m`kay> is 1.2.4 planned for feisty?
[04:30] <m`kay> is wesnoth 1.2.4 planned for feisty?
[04:31] <predaeus> borivali, hm I think it should use the same setting not sure though. It must use the xorg.conf setting though.
[04:31] <predaeus> borivali, typically the desktop and the login window both use the same as far as I know.
[04:31] <borivali> where is that file? xorg.conf
[04:31] <borivali> I would think so too
[04:31] <fivetwentysix> Hmm
[04:32] <jrib> m`kay: it should get synced from debian
[04:32] <stefg> low_on_ram: yeah, that's the right howto... but watch out how your menu.lst looks. there might be different device names according to how grub from CD sees the stick (if he's able to) and how grub on the USB stick would see it.
[04:32] <jrib> m`kay: it should get synced from debian (for gutsy)
[04:32] <Cockroach> no one can help with mdadm?
[04:32] <fivetwentysix> I can't seem to find a package that has the gtkmm files
[04:32] <m`kay> jrib for gutsy, but not for feisty?
[04:32] <fivetwentysix> Needed tocompilea GTKproject
[04:32] <borivali> Let me see if I can find xorg.conf and edit it
[04:32] <madsporkmurderer> does anyone know the correct NAT settings for qtorrent? I cant find mention of them anywhere but from the perfomance it appears that some are needed
[04:32] <jrib> m`kay: feisty is frozen, no more new packages.  Once it gets into gutsy, it may be backported
[04:32] <jrib> !backports > m`kay (see the private message from ubotu)
[04:32] <predaeus> borivali, be careful with that. make a backup of it before you edit it, because if you do it wrong your graphical desktop will not load on start and you will have to fix it in text mode. it is located at /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:33] <low_on_ram> stefg, grr! This is my first time messing around with linux at this low level.
[04:33] <low_on_ram> stefg, I will see how it goes. If it works, I will send you a message :)_
[04:33] <m`kay> jrib or can i install the wesnoth-gutsy-packages in feisty? frozen, there comes FF204 by updating :-/
[04:34] <stefg> low_on_ram: yeah, but on the other hand: you can use a broken machine for something useful. no way of getting any more work done with it on win
[04:34] <predaeus> borivali, to check if the settings work, you do not need to reboot, just restart the graphical front end (the "X server") with "sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart"
[04:34] <rebrai> wow
[04:34] <reddos> non riesco ad entrare nella chat ubunti it
[04:35] <jrib> m`kay: you shouldn't, but you can try to recompile the gutsy package (add the deb-src line and use apt-get -b)
[04:35] <low_on_ram> stefg, in the grub console I typed root (hd0,0) and then find / . I got "possible files are: vmlinuz initrd.gz xubuntu-7.04-alternate-i386.sio
[04:35] <jwtodd> hey ... i'd like to do a fresh install of feisty as i move from edgy. is there a way i can export the apt config stuff so that i can just feed the config to the new system? i use synaptic. thx.
[04:35] <Tsuamia> How can I change my res without using my mouse?
[04:35] <Tsuamia> terminal?
[04:35] <low_on_ram> stefg, I am assuming that it is the cdr drive.
[04:35] <fivetwentysix> What package contains <gtkmm/accelgroup.h>
[04:35] <Myrtti> jwtodd: dpkg --get-selections > packages
[04:35] <rebrai> wow its pretty alive in here
[04:35] <low_on_ram> Tsuamia, a long time back I used to use Ctrl+Alt+Numpad +
[04:35] <jwtodd> excellent. much appreciated :)
[04:36] <low_on_ram> Tsuamia, I am not sure if it works even now.
[04:36] <stefg> low_on_ram: if there's no hd no more thenit sounds plausible
[04:36] <roryy> fivetwentysix: packages.ubuntu.com lets you search for what package has what file
[04:36] <jwtodd> myrtti ... and on the import side?
[04:36] <low_on_ram> stefg, then where is the USB stick? I actually formatted it using fdisk (it was mounted on /dev/sda). I cannot see it on grub list
[04:36] <Tsuamia> low_on_ram: Thank you so much
[04:37] <rebrai> are there any graphical extension like beryl? how can i install them?
[04:37] <eldunco> Does ubuntu server come with a window manager preinstalled? If so which one and how to start it.
[04:38] <jrib> !beryl > rebrai (see the private message from ubotu)
[04:38] <txolox> hola
[04:38] <jrib> eldunco: no
[04:38] <wols> eldunco: no
[04:38] <eldunco> k
[04:38] <madsporkmurderer> does anyone know the correct NAT settings for qtorrent? I cant find mention of them anywhere but from the perfomance it appears that some are needed
[04:38] <wols> eldunco: you need to apt-get X
[04:38] <Myrtti> jwtodd: when you're done, you do dpkg --set-selections < packages and...
[04:38] <Myrtti> jwtodd: (I'm looking over my notes)
[04:38] <fivetwentysix> Thanks roryy for pointing that function out!
[04:38] <qtgeo> a big bravo to the developing team and all the staff for the realease 7.04
[04:38] <eldunco> sounds good, i appreciate it
[04:38] <wols> madsporkmurderer: depends what port you use for incoming. it's variable
[04:38] <jwtodd> much appreciated
[04:39] <Myrtti> jwtodd: apt-get -u dselect-upgrade should do the trick
[04:39] <madsporkmurderer> wols: i cant find any settings to change in relation to ports- are they in a config file somewhere?
[04:39] <jwtodd> excellent myrtti!!!
[04:39] <jwtodd> thx again.
[04:39] <wols> madsporkmurderer: I dunno. netstat -anp |grep LIST |less
[04:39] <wols> madsporkmurderer: as root
[04:40] <jwtodd> hope to see you all again on the "feisty side" of life :)
[04:40] <Cockroach> how do i upgrade my kernel?
[04:40] <Aerotwelve> Hey everyone: I'm trying to install these restricted ATI drivers, and one of my steps was to Make sure fgrlx is not disabled with: gksudo gedit /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common and I get an error that says GTK WARNING **: cannot open display: Does this mean it's disabled?
[04:40] <wols> Aerotwelve: no it means gedit cannot run
[04:40] <prekker> hi
[04:40] <wols> Cockroach: apt-get a new one
[04:40] <Aerotwelve> wols: Alright, thanks.
[04:41] <m`kay> is there an versionless unstable brunch for ubuntu like debian sid?
[04:41] <wols> Aerotwelve: sudo nano <file> instead
[04:41] <Cockroach> wols: what should i choose? it's for a P4 server
[04:41] <wols> m`kay: there is gutsy. ubuntu+1
[04:41] <wols> Cockroach: -686
[04:42] <Cockroach> ..don't follow?
[04:42] <madsporkmurderer> wols: qtorrent isnt mentioned
[04:42] <rebrai> beryl
[04:42] <CaLeRo> hola
[04:42] <rebrai> loha

[04:42] <rebrai> no only english
[04:43] <piratepenguin> if I'm on ubuntu using gnome, and I want KDE too, can I just install kubuntu-desktop?
[04:43] <madsporkmurderer> wols: yes, im currently seeding 2 torrents
[04:43] <CaLeRo> ok
[04:43] <Myrtti> piratepenguin: yes
[04:43] <wols> madsporkmurderer: then it will show
[04:43] <dr_willis> piratepenguin,  thats how i do it.
[04:43] <piratepenguin> Myrtti: cheers
[04:43] <piratepenguin> ah cool

[04:44] <Luxurious> dr_willis, I mean bundled
[04:44] <dr_willis> Hmm thats not it. aplay perhaps?
[04:44] <stefg> low_on_ram: (was on the phone) hmmm, so your bios won't recognize the usb-port it seems. that means taht you have to boot the kernel from CD to be able to mount the USb stick as root-fs
[04:44] <wersdaluv> is it possible for me to install xubuntu over ubuntu without changing the black loading screen?
[04:44] <dr_willis> of course it may depends on the specific kind of audio file
[04:44] <Luxurious> Aplay you say?
[04:44] <dr_willis> !info aplay
[04:45] <ubotu> Package aplay does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[04:45] <dr_willis> Luxurious,  used tobe oodles of console based sound player/tools - but not used themin years
[04:45] <stefg> low_on_ram: that gets more and more ugly... no way of attching it to a net and using it as a netbooting thin-client?
[04:45] <fivetwentysix> Ok I don't get it
[04:45] <larson9999> i recently upgraded and now mplayer halts when i swap windows instead of keeping playing like it used to.  is there a setting for that?
[04:45] <low_on_ram> stefg, I do not want to get the network running on this system as yet.
[04:45] <Trubbis> anyone knows how to install winxp after ubuntu? it stops in booting of winxp-install-disk and refuses to do anything....
[04:45] <fivetwentysix> Why won't my compiler find gtkmm/accelgroup.h
[04:45] <fivetwentysix> I've installed every package that contains that file
[04:46] <fivetwentysix> BUt my compiler still says it's not found
[04:46] <Luxurious> dr_willis, well, I'm actually going to write a web interface for a music server (to play the music on the server), I'm not quite sure system command line calls are the way, but better to explore it than not.
[04:46] <wols> Trubbis: wrong channel. #windows
[04:46] <madsporkmurderer> wols: right, found it- it was listed under python
[04:46] <wols> fivetwentysix: where on your system is the file? and is it in your g++ include path?
[04:46] <Trubbis> wols, na, dont think they would know, windows is windows....
[04:46] <madsporkmurderer> wols: is the port number the one after LISTENING
[04:46] <froggy_> hello i have a problem
[04:46] <wols> Trubbis: irrelevant. It's OT here
[04:46] <low_on_ram> stefg, I want it to just boot into linux that I want to install on a USB pen drive. Ofcourse since hte USB drive won't directly boot, I need the cdr drive to initiall boot up and then "hand over" the booting to the USB pen drive
[04:46] <wols> madsporkmurderer: no
[04:47] <stefg> low_on_ram: see, you have to boot the kernel from CD-Rom, that means your /boot is on a readonly partition. every kernle update will be trouble
[04:47] <Aerotwelve> Alright, it finally booted up. Thanks, dr_willis and everyone else. Any chance I will be able to use open source ati drivers in the future, so Ubuntu can upgrade them like all others?
[04:47] <froggy_> ubuntu start one time yes and 3 no i have intel 945gm chipset video
[04:47] <Trubbis> wols, its not ot on most linux-forums so i cant see why it would be here?!
[04:47] <madsporkmurderer> wols: the on after that one then?
[04:47] <low_on_ram> stefg, why would I want a kernel update?
[04:47] <low_on_ram> stefg, by kernel update you mean when new versions of kernel are released right? Sort of upgrading right?
[04:47] <wols> Trubbis: cause this is a ubuntu only forum. not for windows
[04:47] <stefg> low_on_ram: because  there is one? because of security patches

[04:48] <low_on_ram> stefg, that is true. but this one will never be on the network and hanging on the wall. No network, no keyboard just a display :D
[04:48] <Trubbis> wols, I have to do something IN ubuntu to make it posible to install windows later
[04:48] <Luxurious> I like that!
[04:48] <stefg> low_on_ram: rather look into smart boot-manager. this is sort of a bios extension which possibly enables you to boot the real McCoy from USB
[04:49] <low_on_ram> stefg, I will check the smart boot manager then
[04:49] <fivetwentysix> wols: /usr/include/gtkmm-2.0/gtkmm/accellabel.h I have 2.4 installed as well
[04:49] <froggy_> ??
[04:49] <fivetwentysix> wols: how do i know if the destination is set in my g++ config fi;e?
[04:50] <andrewmac> What is the best MSN client ? Pidgin is really pissing me off, it randomly closes :S in the middle of conversations..
[04:50] <fivetwentysix> andrewmac: Try Gaim.
[04:50] <andrewmac> ..
[04:50] <andrewmac> GAIM == Pidgin
[04:51] <Myrtti> no, it's not
[04:51] <Watermelon2> hmm amsn?
[04:51] <mneptok> andrewmac: you can try aMSN
[04:51] <wols> fivetwentysix: is  /usr/include/gtkmm-2.0/gtkmm/
[04:51] <wols> is  /usr/include/gtkmm-2.0/gtkmm/ in your include path?
[04:52] <fivetwentysix> How do i see my include paths?
[04:52] <wols> Trubbis: is enough unallocated harddisk space available?
[04:52] <wols> fivetwentysix: depends how you set them
[04:52] <wols> there are several ways. one way is to look at the commandline of g++
[04:52] <Trubbis> wols, yes, i can install win2003server but not xp
[04:52] <rab1d> anyone have any problems with the latest updates breaking firefox
[04:52] <wols> Trubbis: then you can do thing. not a ubuntu problem
[04:53] <wols> *nothing
[04:53] <ROnewbie> Anyone ? RT61 wi-fi card installed, drivers too, network manager sees all my wireless network, but it won't connect to any of them, encrypted or not.
[04:53] <ROnewbie> *networks
[04:53] <Trubbis> wols, partly, ubuntu puts grub in mbr and thats wat causing problem for xp, 2003server is little more accepting on that part
[04:54] <black_> following problem, i can boot with root being on raid 5, and i can boot if root is luks encrypted .... but i cant boot if i try both
[04:54] <wols> Trubbis: no. XP just overwrites grub on install
[04:54] <c01100011> is there an all in one blue tooth management gui application
[04:55] <Trubbis> wols, yea, normally, but in my case (not for a friend of mine for whom it works) winxp wont boot the installation, it hangs on "checking hardware configuration".
[04:55] <fivetwentysix> wols is there a way to set it in Anjuta?
[04:55] <stefg> !bluetooth
[04:55] <ubotu> For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[04:55] <wols> fivetwentysix: project settings usually
[04:55] <Trubbis> wols, so winxp cant accept the grub in mbr and therefore im stuck
[04:55] <wols> Trubbis: that is simply untrue

[04:56] <c01100011> thanks stefg - how can i retrieve a list of the bot commands ?

[04:56] <Fawa1> i have font problem when starting X server
[04:57] <Trubbis> wols, well, i cant find any other explanation, found someone on the net saying it was like that, but if you have any other ideas then i would be very glad to hear
[04:57] <Fawa1> can anyone help
[04:57] <matthew> Hey all. I have a Feisty installation on a drive, but no grub installed. Is there a way to boot that installation with a LiveCD or something?
[04:58] <wols> Trubbis: I don't care. it's a windows problem. and I just gave you a solution you wanted to hear. your choice if you don't take it. HAND

[04:59] <low_on_ram> stefg, that's funny. when I do root (hd0,0) and then find /<tab> it lists vmliuz initrd.gz xubunutu....iso ... what could this partition be? It cannot be the CDR drive, can it"?
[04:59] <wols> low_on_ram: hd0,0 is first partitn, first disk
[04:59] <low_on_ram> wols, I do not have a HDD
[04:59] <stefg> low_on_ram: no... possibly it is the wanted usb?
[04:59] <low_on_ram> *an
[04:59] <wols> low_on_ram: if you boot from usb, you do
[04:59] <wols> low_on_ram: your usb stick
[05:00] <low_on_ram> stefg, then how did those files get onto the USB stick? I did not copy them. I did not boot up from the USB stick either.
[05:00] <low_on_ram> hmm
[05:00] <Fawa1> when starting X server i get "could not open default font" error
[05:00] <stefg> low_on_ram: i don't know what CD you are using to get grub now..
[05:00] <grodius> can someone link me to the multiverse and universal repos

[05:02] <gael> hello
[05:03] <c01100011> great, i got my blue tooth mouse to work with ease, but is there a gui to manage connecting to bluetooth devices?
[05:03] <low_on_ram> stefg, wait, how come then I could format /dev/sda1/2 ? They could not be CDR partitions because it was explicitly marked as FAt16 in fdisk. Will check it out.

[05:07] <low_on_ram> stefg, got it! Thanks for that. I was getting messed up in my mind about this. Damn! Then I would have to actually boot a kernel from the CDR drive. OMG! I also have to put the modules on the CD.
[05:07] <mh_le> wols: yeah, I just can't tell where the error is..
[05:07] <Nom-> The scrollwheel works fine, but no thumb buttons

[05:08] <fivetwentysix> I feel like the configs are totally screwed up
[05:08] <wols> mh_le: bigger chance than getting one here. have you pasted your master.cf there?

[05:19] <fuzzy_logic> hi people.. since i updated my kernel to the newest version my intel wireless card doesn't work anymore.. also when i boot an old kernel it doesn't work.. does anyone have an idea why that is the case?
[05:20] <giany911> orbin: http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/6646/prefeg7.png
[05:20] <lashus> i dunno, im newbie too ;p
[05:20] <lashus> and need help ^^
[05:20] <lashus> can't update anything by apt-cdrom, because it don't mount my cdrom :/
[05:20] <fivetwentysix> How do i set my GTK include directory?
[05:20] <n2diy> orbin: ? How can I install Dapper on a box that won't boot from a cd rom?
[05:21] <fuzzy_logic> lashus: why don't you do that?
[05:21] <wols> fivetwentysix: you start by reading gcc docs
[05:21] <marco_linux> My Ubuntu stopped copying CDs to ISO. I am getting the following error message: "Error trying to open /dev/hda exclusively (Device or resource busy)"
[05:21] <lashus> umm fuzzy_logic dunno xD
[05:21] <lashus> fuzzy_logic what command i should use ? mount /nameofdrive /cdrom0/ ?
[05:22] <wols> fuzzy_logic: redo your wireless driver
[05:23] <wols> lashus: what error do you get when trying to install something?
[05:23] <orbin> giany911: ... i don't see that dialog when i open prefs.  probably b/c i don't have a mutli-channel sound card installed.  sorry, don't think i can help.
[05:23] <m1r> i have little symlink problem with vsftpd , when i do mount --bind /var/www/3tcable /home/ftp/3tcable , then i lose data after reboot
[05:24] <Wooksta> im having a problem with ubuntu feisty server... i have an old box which was running ubuntu desktop (edgy eft) and i just re-installed to fiesty server but now every time when the system tries to start it gets back grub, i get a "Starting up..." message and then the system resets, how can i debug this issue?
[05:24] <orbin> !install > n2diy (see pm from ubotu)
[05:24] <lashus> I'm using /cdrom/  as CD-ROM mount point
[05:24] <lashus> CD-rom mounting
[05:24] <lashus> E: Failed to mount the cdrom.
[05:24] <marco_linux> Hello there!! I am getting the error "Error trying to open /dev/hda exclusively (Device or resource busy)" when trying to copy a CD.
[05:24] <marco_linux> Any Clue!!!
[05:24] <marco_linux> ?
[05:24] <stefg> low_on_ram: i just read that SBM is incapable of handling USB devices... bad luck. So your options are: 1.) update bios to a version which can boot fro usb, 2.) have a really ugly custom boot CD which boots the kernel and initramfs, then mounts the flash drive as root-fs. 3.) fixing the ide connector (possible to attach a IDE flash drive to it)
[05:25] <neonleon8> neonleon
[05:25] <neonleon8> woot
[05:26] <lashus> wols
[05:27] <marco_linux> Hi, does anyone know how to fiz this problem? Error trying to open /dev/hda exclusively (Device or resource busy)
[05:27] <lashus> marco_linux reboot pc ?
[05:27] <fdr> hello! please, what is the name of the program used to view and change gnome internal registry?
[05:27] <pmo> hey, i have a problem with my sound-drivers i think, when i plug in my headphones, the sound works fine, but the sound doesnt mute from the speakers.. im on a HP DV* laptop with ubuntu 7.04.
[05:27] <marco_linux> I tried that.
[05:27] <spikeb> fdr: gconf-editor
[05:28] <fdr> spikeb, thanks! I couldn't remember it
[05:28] <spikeb> you're welcome fdr :)
[05:28] <low_on_ram> stefg, I was reading the same thing and I guess I am cluster fscked. 1) - NEC does not update the bios for this laptop anymore. 3) IDE connector is broken on the mobo. The only way I can think of fixing it is by soldering those tiny .5mm leads. No way can I do that.
[05:28] <low_on_ram> stefg, so the only option left for me is to make a custom CD R
[05:29] <low_on_ram> stefg, any pointers on how to make this CD?
[05:29] <henrysotocalaboz> hello everybody...from Venezuela
[05:29] <Wisdom07> hello
[05:29] <low_on_ram> henrysotocalaboz, no hello to people NOT from Venezuela? hehe!
[05:29] <neonleon8> hello to Venezuela
[05:29] <henrysotocalaboz> hello neon....How are you???
[05:30] <Wisdom07> when i tried to configure my dsl connexion its asked me to turn to root so howi could do that ?
[05:30] <neonleon8> i'm pretty good. thanks, how about yourself?
[05:30] <henrysotocalaboz> well, just learning this new program... It's my first time... Where are you from???
[05:30] <marco_linux> Hi people, the error is still there: Error trying to open /dev/hda exclusively (Device or resource busy)
[05:31] <stefg> low_on_ram: do a normal alternate xubuntu install, then take the USB stick to another machine (which reads ext3) and make a bootable CD like the previous howto said, but copy the complete /boot dir from the usb-drive to the CD, too
[05:31] <wols> Wisdom07: with sudp
[05:31] <neonleon8> can you force and unmount of the device ?
[05:31] <phlak_user> hi
[05:31] <wols> Wisdom07: sudo
[05:31] <lashus> wols
[05:31] <lashus> pm
[05:31] <Wisdom07> wols i'im newbie so i should write in the terminal sudo?
[05:32] <lashus> yup
[05:32] <stefg> low_on_ram: and ho we already found out grub sees the CD as (hd0) so adjust the menu.lst accordingly
[05:32] <wols> lashus: do not /msg people randomly. /ignore lashus
[05:32] <lashus> wols rotfl <wols> lashus: what error do you get when trying to install something?
[05:32] <henrysotocalaboz> well I'm leaving now...hope you feel good!!!!!
[05:33] <lashus> i asked on pm
[05:33] <henrysotocalaboz> byr
[05:33] <henrysotocalaboz> bye
[05:33] <Wisdom07> wols
[05:33] <lashus> umm nevermind
[05:33] <lashus> bb
[05:33] <marco_linux> It worked now but only after umount as root. Error trying to open /dev/hda exclusively (Device or resource busy)
[05:34] <neonleon8> i feel good
[05:34] <marco_linux> Why Ubuntu is like that?
[05:34] <phlak_user> im haveing problems running Google Earth on Edgy Eft (ATI Radeon Graphics)
[05:34] <Kalisto> why does pam drop root priv on pam_mount on exit? ie therefor no unmount can be done.
[05:34] <marco_linux> Just to copy a CD you have to have root access
[05:35] <Kalisto> marco_linux, google it
[05:35] <henrysotocalaboz> how can i do with the G++
[05:35] <wols> henrysotocalaboz: do what?
[05:35] <henrysotocalaboz> help
[05:35] <Kalisto> gcc?
[05:35] <low_on_ram> henrysotocalaboz, what is your question?
[05:35] <henrysotocalaboz> How can I compiler the G++
[05:36] <faight> "There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon" < --- how do i fix? thanks
[05:36] <marco_linux> but this was supposed to work out of the box.  Copying CDs is a very simple task.
[05:36] <phlak_user> he wants to install the g++ package
[05:36] <Kalisto> henrysotocalaboz, google gcc
[05:36] <low_on_ram> henrysotocalaboz, do you have ubuntu up and running?
[05:36] <wols> henrysotocalaboz: install build-essnetial
[05:36] <rab1d> any suggestions for a firefox that starts up and immediately core dumps
[05:36] <henrysotocalaboz> yes it is running
[05:36] <wols> henrysotocalaboz: install build essential
[05:36] <wols> rab1d: rn it from an xterm
[05:36] <wols> *run
[05:36] <Kalisto> rab1d, reinstall or install from source
[05:37] <henrysotocalaboz> is it the essential in the ubuntu's cd??
[05:37] <rab1d> wols: from xterm, thats where i know its core-dumping
[05:37] <henrysotocalaboz> how can I get it?
[05:37] <Aerotwelve1> Hey everyone, if I running Gnome, and I using KDE apps, will that harm anything? I just installed Ubuntu, and I using Konversation to type this, and realized it is a KDE app.
[05:37] <elhyte> Hello
[05:37] <rab1d> Kalisto: reinstall, i tried apt-get remove followed by apt-get install
[05:37] <rab1d> on the pacakge firefox
[05:37] <elhyte> I have a problem witgh liferea
[05:37] <Wisdom07> i'm new bie and  when i tried to configure pppoecon its aske dme to turn in root session so how?
[05:37] <Kalisto> Aerotwelve, no problem
[05:37] <elhyte> liferea-add-feed doesn't work on Firefox
[05:37] <Juhaz> Aerotwelve1, no, it doesn't harm anything, but it will use bit more memory to have both sets of libraries running at the same time
[05:38] <RainCT> Hi
[05:38] <pmo> hey, i have a problem with my sound-drivers i think, when i plug in my headphones, the sound works fine, but the sound doesnt mute from the speakers.. im on a HP DV* laptop with ubuntu 7.04.
[05:38] <RainCT> is it possible to have wvdial not overwritting resolv.conf?
[05:38] <dabobo> hey
[05:38] <Wisdom07> i'm new bie and  when i tried to configure pppoecon its aske dme to turn in root session so how?
[05:38] <wols> RainCT: chattr +i it
[05:39] <wols> Wisdom07: sudo
[05:39] <Aerotwelve1> Alright, thanks, juhaz and Kalisto. Anyway, as I said, I on a new install. Everything seems to work out of the box besides wireless and my apostrophe key. When I try to type an apostrophe, I get a system beep and sometimes I get this character: .  Any thoughts on how to change this?
[05:39] <dabobo> i'm a newbie and I don't know what this is
[05:39] <fdr> I'm afraid I deleted some system file I shouldn't have... is there a way to check for every installed package if all the included files are still present on the filesystem? thanks!
[05:39] <thornomad> Quick Question: is there an easy way to send e-mail from the command line?  I have looked at mailutils and nail ... however, these seems like overkill.  I just want my cron jobs to email me on occasion ... I don't EVER need to recieve mail at all ... any ideas ? thanks
[05:39] <wols> thornomad: man mail
[05:40] <RainCT> wols: can you explain this please?
[05:40] <elhyte> Nobody uses liferea with firefox ?
[05:40] <hocmin> I've got a printer installed through Gnome's interface, but I'm not able to print to it through firefox.  How can I fix this?
[05:40] <wols> RainCT: man chattr
[05:40] <fdr> I was thinking of some dpkg or apt option but I can't find it...
[05:40] <ziosa> hi, i have a problem with configure matrox mga g200...help me!
[05:40] <thornomad> wols: that isn't installed on the server by default ... i only know how to do it via mailutils ... which install exim4 ... which I don't want
[05:40] <RainCT> wols: ok thanks
[05:41] <marco_linux> Can't copy CDs with Ubuntu. Error trying to open /dev/hda exclusively (Device or resource busy)
[05:41] <wols> thornomad: a unix system without mda or mta is broken
[05:41] <elhyte> Please, nobody uses Liferea ?
[05:41] <wols> marco_linux: is your cd /dev/hda?
[05:41] <wols> !anyobody | elhyte
[05:41] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about anyobody - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:42] <wols> !anybody | elhyte
[05:42] <ubotu> elhyte: 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?
[05:42] <pomalley> i just added 2 gigs of ram to my computer and now ubuntu is running comically slowly. is this a known problem or am i going to have to do some research?
[05:42] <thornomad> wols: hmm ... okay ... I may be lost.  I don't know anything about mda or mta.  I have successfully used mail and nail ... however, was just trying to find something simpler
[05:42] <trenq> hi guys anyone know if I can use my sonyericsson k800 as modem for my ubuntu laptop?
[05:43] <bbrazil> pomalley: research I'd say. Howmuch ram do you have total, what's your arch, and what's your workload?
[05:43] <wols> thornomad: there are simpler, leander mtas than exim. but exim is very easy to use
[05:43] <thornomad> wols ... all right, maybe i will just look into disabling its port listening stuff for exim
[05:43] <Aerotwelve1> Does anyone know why Ubuntu refuses to type a comma? I press it and sometimes I get a system beep, and other times I get a . Any thoughts?
[05:44] <rab1d> kalisto: doing an apt-get remove firefox followed by apt-get install firefox, is what you meant by reinstall
[05:44] <rab1d> ?
[05:44] <pomalley> bbrazil: yeah, that's what i was afraid of. i have 4gb total now, just running feisty x86 (not 64 bit) and this is with no workload (just on boot, and starting gnome)
[05:44] <wols> thornomad: apt-cache search mda. apt-cache search mta
[05:44] <erUSUL> rab1d: or adding --reinstall to the install command
[05:44] <bbrazil> pomalley: that's odd. you're on 686 or later I presume?
[05:44] <thornomad> wols: oh ... wow ... that is a lot of options.  okay, let me look through them thanks!
[05:45] <marco_linux> Can't copy CDs on Ubuntu. Error trying to open /dev/hda exclusively (Device or resource busy)
[05:45] <pomalley> bbrazil: whatever the default that it gives is
[05:45] <bbrazil> pomalley: I'm asking about your processor
[05:45] <elhyte> My first question was " I have a problem with Liferea and Firefox, liferea-add-feed doesn't work on it"
[05:45] <Przemcio78> ubuntu or vista? this is the question :)
[05:45] <elhyte> So sorry for my approximative question
[05:45] <Przemcio78> wrong place to pose such questions though :)
[05:45] <pomalley> bbrazil: oh, yeah, duh. pentium d 950, pretty good.
[05:45] <bbrazil> pomalley: is the new ram thesame spec as the existing stuff
[05:46] <faight> "There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon" < --- how do i fix? thanks
[05:46] <wols> pomalley: a p4 is never good
[05:46] <pomalley> bbrazil: yeah, it's exactly the same as what i already had, just 2 more sticks
[05:46] <pomalley> wols: yeah, yeah, whatever ;-)
[05:46] <Kalisto> rab1d, yes
[05:46] <marco_linux> Can't copy Cds on Ubuntu Feisty. "Error trying to open /dev/hda exclusively (Device or resource busy)"
[05:46] <bbrazil> pomalley: what happens if you remove the old sticks?
[05:46] <xsnake> How can I find printer drivers for my Brother MFC8500 printer?
[05:46] <wols> !patienc | marco_linux
[05:46] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about patienc - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:46] <rab1d> ok it looks like if i run firefox-bin (not the firefox scripty in /usr/lib/firefox) i get 'error while loading shared libraries: libmozjs.so'
[05:46] <wols> !printing
[05:46] <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
[05:47] <bbrazil> pomalley: and what happens when you remove the old sticks, and put the new sticks in their slots?
[05:47] <Luxurious> I installed apache2 but all it ever does is launch apache.  I even did apt-get remove apache, didn't say it existed.
[05:47] <pomalley> bbrazil: haven't tried that yet, i just booted once
[05:47] <elhyte> So if anybody have this problem ( liferea-add-feed doesn't work on Firefox) please call  the solution to me)
[05:47] <wols> rab1d: reinstall ffox then
[05:47] <Luxurious> That's Apache 1.3 it launches, by the way.
[05:47] <pomalley> bbrazil: xp works fine
[05:47] <bbrazil> pomalley: I'd also suggest measuring 'slower'
[05:47] <rab1d> wols: i did
[05:47] <bbrazil> pomalley: ram checks will naturally take more time, so allow for that
[05:47] <xsnake> ok, thanks
[05:48] <ompaul> pomalley, and xp will not stress test ram like other software
[05:48] <pomalley> bbrazil: haha ok. but i was even getting errors on various gnome startup things. (like gnome-settings daemon has failed to start, or whatever)
[05:48] <giany911> guys i have a 5.1 sound card and i can't control the volume ! .. i can only control the speakers separately ... front rear side
[05:48] <bbrazil> pomalley: that sounds like bad ram
[05:48] <bbrazil> pomalley: run memtest86, should be a boot option
[05:48] <wols> pomalley: and run it overnight
[05:48] <ompaul> bbrazil, it might not help - been there with that one
[05:49] <rab1d> wols: i reinstalled a couple different ways even removed my profile from my home directory, same problem
[05:49] <wols> rab1d: could be a bad plugin. did you run ffox from an xterm?
[05:50] <tmroland> hi

[05:57] <crdlb> noobster, yes you need to remove a hidden file to make nvidia-glx work again
[05:57] <youshotwhointhew> can i restore the DSDT from the install disk?
[05:57] <youshotwhointhew> anyone??
[05:57] <noobster> crdlb which one?

[05:59] <minerale> Hello, how do I disable the graphical startup thing, I don't think my video card supports it
[05:59] <lekker> starting up Ubuntu, i'm not getting any error messages, but come into a root-console, with I have to"exit" to go to the login screen,   how to login directly
[05:59] <ToiletDuk> minerale: if you want only text and disable GDM/X, edit the inittab
[05:59] <ToiletDuk> set to 3 instead of 5
[06:00] <roryy> ToiletDuk: that is not correct in ubuntu (or debian)
[06:00] <minerale> toiletduk: no, I'm talking about the ubuntu logo as it startups
[06:01] <erUSUL> minerale: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and get rid of the splash boot option in the entries you like
[06:01] <roland_> when i start ubuntu i see no bootscreen, no messages, no progress bar.. nothing.. its a black screen until i get in the login screen .. what can i do to fix this..
[06:01] <roland_> its videocard related
[06:02] <roryy> roland_: you could also try disabling the bootsplash (points to what erusul said)
[06:02] <youshotwhointhew> anyone with experience fixing a farked DSDT?
[06:02] <humbolto> Why is it, that I have no CPU frequency scaling with the generic kernel but with the i386 it works?

[06:06] <giany911> ...dudes ..i need a bit of help, how can i delete the annoying Examples folder?
[06:06] <silvernode> lol\
[06:06] <silvernode> idk hide it heh i never tried to delete it
[06:06] <silvernode> now i want to get rid of it too
[06:07] <giany911> rolf
[06:07] <Guy_> Does anyone know if the version of 7.04 on the Dell offering is the 64 bit or 32 bit version?
[06:07] <giany911> rofl
[06:07] <giany911> i did it :))
[06:07] <giany911> sudo rm Examples
[06:07] <BlueEagle> giany911: "The dell offering"?
[06:07] <silvernode> dell is selling computers with ubuntu now
[06:08] <wols> giany911: sudo rm -rf Examples
[06:08] <giany911> i did it :)
[06:08] <silvernode> they just signed a contract with cononical
[06:08] <Guy_> Yup.  I have one on order and I am getting the Core 2 Duo  T7200 @ gig processor.
[06:08] <giany911> phew
[06:08] <wols> Guy_: 32
[06:08] <giany911> thanx
[06:08] <xcd> why do you have to sudo to do it ... the link is created under your username... and not root
[06:09] <Guy_> Hmm.  I may have to do something about that then.  Looks like time to download the 64 bit.  :)
[06:09] <silvernode> lol i just right clicked on examples folder and told it go to trash and it did lmao
[06:09] <wols> xcd: to make sure it deletes under any circumstances. we didn't know that
[06:09] <xcd> yeah
[06:09] <xcd> it's a symbolic link
[06:09] <Przemcio78> teletubbies are gay http://youtube.com/watch?v=U7XC-c70VyI
[06:09] <xcd> the real folder is in /usr/share/example-content
[06:09] <Guy_> I put together a system with the 2 gig processor and 2 gigs of ram.  It can not get here fast enough.
[06:10] <silvernode> oh
[06:10] <wols> kc5goi: and an intel integrated graphics?
[06:10] <kc5goi> yup
[06:10] <silvernode> I hate integrated
[06:10] <silvernode> lol
[06:11] <kc5goi> I wanted to build out speed and I decided to pass on the video care upgrade.
[06:11] <silvernode> i love how my ubuntu is bugging me to update firefox
[06:11] <eddyMul> I'm running Feisty. Feisty has python-django-0.95. I noticed Gutsy has python-django-0.96. Can I install a Gutsy package in Feisty?
[06:12] <wols> speed and integrated graphics rarely mix
[06:12] <silvernode> Yeah i like having a good graphics card cuz then i can use beryl
[06:12] <kc5goi> I am not too interested in Beryl but it does look cool.
[06:12] <balarka> who
[06:12] <spikeb> beryl works fine with intel's integrated stuff.
[06:13] <LadySerena> BSD guru here, trying to make sense of linux ...... if all wired network devices are labeled "eth", how do you know which chipset each device uses?
[06:13] <BlueEagle> eddymul: In theory, yes. But you're unlikely to get support for it. You'll need to install python-django and gutsy from source me thinks.
[06:13] <silvernode> really?
[06:13] <BlueEagle> eddymul: If you're not comfortable compiling your own apps you might be off without gutsy or finding a substitute.
[06:13] <giany911> does any1 know how to see the names and no the ids in gaim/pidgin on yahoo?
[06:13] <wols> LadySerena: first loaded driver is first
[06:13] <balarka> WHO #gnome-chi | specialkevin
[06:13] <spikeb> silvernode: yeah. in fact, intel's onboard video stuff is among the best supported driver wise :)
[06:13] <BlueEagle> !build-essential
[06:13] <ubotu> 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!)
[06:14] <LadySerena> so .... you have to read your device log to find out which is which?
[06:14] <wols> LadySerena: also dmesg will tell you
[06:14] <silvernode> spikeb:yeah i bet since its widely used with so many new computers
[06:14] <eddyMul> BlueEagle: I'm (very) new to Ubuntu
[06:14] <LadySerena> dmesg is device log
[06:14] <kc5goi> Spikeb, that is one reason I am staying with the intel card.  I need serial ports so I get to learn how to deal with usb based serial port adapters.  I am not to worried about it.  Should be ease.
[06:14] <spikeb> silvernode: and the specs and drivers are open.
[06:14] <iuc> hello
[06:14] <LadySerena> seems rather counterintuitive, though
[06:14] <iuc> well i'm here for some help with ubuntu
[06:15] <Demolitio> I have a problem: I just clean-installed ubuntu, and have absolutly no sound when I test it in sound preferences.... the alsa service is enabled, and the volume is at max. most I was able to get was my speakers to pop when I selected/deselected the analog/digital switch option for my card (i'm using an Audigy 2 ZS). suggestions?
[06:15] <BlueEagle> eddymul: But are you familiar with linux in general and compiling packages in a unix system?
[06:15] <eddyMul> BlueEagle: I've had Gentoo before. ;)
[06:15] <iuc> can you install ubuntu if you only have one hard drive?
[06:15] <silvernode> spikeb:makes sense but i never tried a new PC with ubuntu yet im still runnin my 2004 amd 1.83ghz cpu and ati radeon 9600
[06:15] <iuc> AND have windows too
[06:15] <eddyMul> BlueEagle: I'm fine w/ compiling. But I'd prefer apt to take care of it for me
[06:15] <kc5goi> apt rocks.
[06:15] <BlueEagle> eddymul: Well if you learned anything from the emerges then you should be capable of replacing python-django and insall gutsy from source.
[06:15] <spikeb> silvernode: hehe
[06:16] <spikeb> silvernode: how does it work on that? :)
[06:16] <iuc> what, ubuntu?
[06:16] <perlmonkey> hello guys
[06:16] <eddyMul> BlueEagle: how do I install "gutsy" from source?
[06:16] <perlmonkey> i have joined ubuntu, just switched from debian
[06:16] <eddyMul> BlueEagle: I have a rough idea of how to install python-django from source...
[06:16] <iuc> (i'm a linux noob btw)
[06:16] <BlueEagle> eddymul: Well if there aren't any pre-buildt for you then compining is your only choice. You may find pre-buildt python-django for debian that might (stress MIGHT) work in ubuntu.
[06:17] <BlueEagle> eddymul: Then you probably might benefit from putting it off. :)
[06:17] <perlmonkey> the install went ok but my resolution is stuck at 800x600, (highest option i got in resolution settings) how do I change it higher?
[06:17] <silvernode> spikeb:everything works great but if i enable the restricted graphics driver beryl won't work anymore and all i can do is play wow which also freezes once i start running around for 10 secs
[06:17] <kc5goi> I have toyed with linux for 7 years.  So far I have been the most impressed with the way Ubuntu takes Debain and makes it so easy to work with.

[06:17] <perlmonkey> thank you BlueEagle
[06:17] <eddyMul> BlueEagle: Is it possible to add gutsy as an apt source when I'm running Feisty?
[06:17] <thirdy> I've installed KDE
[06:17] <spikeb> silvernode: consequence of having an ATI card rather than an older computer
[06:17] <iuc> ok ok so here's my question:  Is it possible to dual boot and/or install ubuntu on one hardrive on my laptop?
[06:17] <BlueEagle> eddymul: Hang on while I find out what Gutsy actually is. :)
[06:17] <eddyMul> BlueEagle: Gutsy = Feisty +1
[06:17] <radioaktivstorm> hey, anyone know why epiphany is being stubborn and refuses to remove my old expired personal certificate? can i remove it manually?
[06:18] <thirdy> how do I switch to KDE?
[06:18] <kc5goi> iuc, in theory yes but I have not done it.
[06:18] <silvernode> spikeb:you think it's that freezing WoW tho? Or couyld it be that the processor needs to be pushed a little more so it can handle stuff?
[06:18] <BlueEagle> eddymul: Then I would recomend two things: Ask in #ubuntu+1 and don't use it until it's stable.
[06:18] <iuc> thirdy: thanks alot
[06:18] <eddyMul> radioaktivstorm: epiphany-extensions might be the package you're looking for.
[06:18] <roryy> thirdy: when you login you can choose what type of desktop to use
[06:19] <spikeb> silvernode: probably also the issue with WoW as well.
[06:19] <BlueEagle> eddymul: Why would you want gutsy at this early stage anyways?
[06:19] <spikeb> silvernode: ATI cards have issues with wine/cedega
[06:19] <radioaktivstorm> thirdy, if you installed it kde , then you can log out and find it in the sessions menu on the login screen.
[06:19] <marco_linux> Can't copy Cds on Ubuntu Feisty. "Error trying to open /dev/hda exclusively (Device or resource busy)"
[06:19] <eddyMul> radioaktivstorm: it exposes a .... "certificate viewer".
[06:19] <Armageddon00> Anyone know how to change keyboard input to Cyrillic?
[06:19] <eddyMul> BlueEagle: for python-django-0.96
[06:19] <BlueEagle> eddymul: What do you need .96 for?
[06:20] <marco_linux> Can't copy Cds on Ubuntu Feisty. "Error trying to open /dev/hda exclusively (Device or resource busy)"
[06:20] <eddyMul> BlueEagle: for work.
[06:20] <radioaktivstorm> eddyMul, ive gotten the epiphany-extensions and added the certificate viewer, but when i use it to try and remove my old certificates, it simply comes up with a dialog that says ok cancel...both of which do nothing
[06:20] <Demolitio> I have a problem: I just clean-installed ubuntu, and have absolutly no sound when I test it in sound preferences.... the alsa service is enabled, and the volume is at max. most I was able to get was my speakers to pop when I selected/deselected the analog/digital switch option for my card (i'm using an Audigy 2 ZS). suggestions?

[06:21] <zblat> hi, can anyone help out? I was trying to reinstall feisty (dual booting with windows), and I think I pretty much botched it ^^ I deleted my ubuntu parition and was created a new one, but when I continued with the install, I got an error saying "the ext3 file system creation for partiion XXX failed"
[06:21] <silvernode> spikeb:I remember when ppl loved ati cards, now everyone likes nvidia but i can't stand em although my buddy has a nvidia and WoW works kfine in ubuntu. All i know is that although nvidia makes a lot of linux drivers, they make it a pain to get installed when ati just has an auto installed just like windows.
[06:21] <BlueEagle> eddymul: And install the build-essential package before compiling.
[06:21] <BlueEagle> eddymul: That ought to work.
[06:21] <eddyMul> radioaktivstorm: well, that's as far as I can help you. sorry....  :p
[06:21] <iuc> ok i have one more question: last time i installed ubuntu was before i had windows. the install was of 7.04 and went fine. i got to the log in screen, put in my s/n and pass, and bam; just a bright orange screen with a mouse pointer that i can move around. nothing happens, ever. i even left it on for three days. just that orange screen and pointer, nothing else. how do i make that not happen?
[06:21] <eddyMul> BlueEagle: got it. thanx.
[06:21] <mirak> is there a way to copy my system partition files to another partition ?
[06:21] <iuc> (i've got windows again btw)
[06:21] <spikeb> silvernode: nvidia's drivers are managed by the restricted drivers manager now :)
[06:21] <radioaktivstorm> eddyMul, thanks  anyway :) its not to big a deal
[06:22] <spikeb> silvernode: i dont like nvidia (the company) any more than you do, but they have far superior linux drivers
[06:22] <spikeb> brb
[06:22] <marco_linux> Can't copy Cds on Ubuntu Feisty. "Error trying to open /dev/hda exclusively (Device or resource busy)"?
[06:22] <zapzig> can someone tell me how to convert a video_ts folder to iso using mkisofs? I have no audio_ts folder
[06:22] <BlueEagle> marco_linux: How are you attempting to copy the cd?
[06:23] <perlmonkey> BlueEagle: I followed your advice and restarted X but my resolution is still stuck at 800x600 and i can't change it any higher
[06:23] <BlueEagle> perlmonkey: Did you read the whole advice from ubotu?
[06:23] <alesan^nc> zapzig, watch a growisofs tutorial to make videoo-dvds
[06:23] <silvernode> spikeb:true I actually got a card for my b-day but my dad got PCI express and my dell 3000 did not have a port for it since at the time it was made those ports weren't very popular so i can't use it with the 3000 or this computer which is home built.
[06:23] <iuc> REPEATING IN CASE NO ONE NOTICED: ok i have one more question: last time i installed ubuntu was before i had windows. the install was of 7.04 and went fine. i got to the log in screen, put in my s/n and pass, and bam; just a bright orange screen with a mouse pointer that i can move around. nothing happens, ever. i even left it on for three days. just that orange screen and pointer, nothing else. how do i make that not happen?
[06:23] <perlmonkey> I'm not sure :-/
[06:23] <alesan^nc> zapzig, there are really good tutorials out there

[06:24] <perlmonkey> thanks
[06:24] <linuxnub> !ubutu
[06:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ubutu - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:24] <eddyMul> iuc: ....... reinstall? it seems like X or GNOME might be messed up
[06:24] <linuxnub> !ubutu xwindows
[06:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ubutu xwindows - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:24] <iuc> eddymul: did that many many times
[06:25] <Luxurious> Can someone explain to me when Apache 1.3 starts when I can't even find it in the process list?  (I only see apache2)
[06:25] <BlueEagle> linuxnub: What are you looking for?
[06:25] <snerfu> !ubutu kvm
[06:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ubutu kvm - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:25] <linuxnub> lol nothing just trying to learn how to use ubotu
[06:25] <iuc> i think u mean ubuntu
[06:25] <zapzig> alesan^nc, where can they be found
[06:25] <roland_> why does ubuntu has Banshee Music Player but the icon is missing from the menu ?
[06:25] <roland_> after installed
[06:25] <BlueEagle> linuxnub: ubotu does answer to /msg so you don't flood the chan.
[06:25] <eddyMul> iuc: hm.... is your /home in a separate partition from / (root)?
[06:25] <marco_linux> Can't copy Cds on Ubuntu Feisty. "Error trying to open /dev/hda exclusively (Device or resource busy)". Any clue?
[06:25] <linuxnub> k
[06:25] <cottima> I am not really a fan of ubuntu mainly because of how it has handled root and the graphical tools do not seem to interact with commandline tools.
[06:25] <alesan^nc> zapzig, come on write growisofs video dvd on google
[06:26] <cottima> could someone explain?
[06:26] <iuc> eddymul: i have no idea. i am a noob among linux noobs
[06:26] <BlueEagle> marco_linux: It's hard for me to help you if you don't answer my questions.
[06:26] <alesan^nc> cottima, the root thing is horrible, I agree
[06:26] <BlueEagle> marco_linux: How are you attempting to copy the CD?
[06:26] <marco_linux> Yes, I am trying to copy the CD.
[06:26] <eddyMul> iuc: so I assume you just "clicked next". hm...
[06:26] <Henry_Bean> hi, i'm having a problem with nvidia propietary module... i'm getting an "irq 18: nobody cared" error and doesn't load the module... i have to use the free one... i'm using nvidia-glx-new (driver version 1.0.9755) and kernel 2.6.20-16-generic... the full output of /var/log/kern.log is in http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23742/ ... anybody has some hint to give so where i can start to look?
[06:26] <kc5goi> The more I read the more I am sure I want to Ghost the drive when I get my Dell and install the 64 bit version.  Either that or get a second hard drive.  Hmmmm.  So many ways to play.
[06:26] <Aerotwelve1> Hey everyone, can I install the standard Windows fonts, so my web pages will display like they would in Windows? I noticed Ubuntu uses different default fonts.
[06:26] <BlueEagle> marco_linux: HOW? Which application are you using? Have you got more than one cd-player?
[06:26] <georgevl> Anyone feel like helping me install Ubuntu on my machine? (didnt get any help in forums)
[06:26] <BlueEagle> marco_linux: how are you trying to copy the cd?
[06:27] <iuc> eddymul: pretty much. is /home supposed to be in a sep. partition from /root ?
[06:27] <BlueEagle> georgevl: What is the problem
[06:27] <BlueEagle> ?
[06:27] <linuxnub> /!ubotu how to fix xwindows login
[06:27] <eddyMul> iuc: not necessarily
[06:27] <marco_linux> I have only one CD-player! I am trying to copy using GnomeBaker.
[06:27] <iuc> eddymul: kk
[06:27] <eddyMul> iuc: have you tried checking the integrity of the install cd?
[06:27] <eddyMul> iuc: if I'm not mistaken, if you boot from the install cd
[06:27] <iuc> eddymul: yep it checks out fine
[06:27] <marco_linux> The "wodim --devices" gives the same error.
[06:28] <cottima> alesan^nc, i have never done a linux project, but need a base system then a ltsp system on top, got any ideas for distros?
[06:28] <eddyMul> iuc: hm.... so the cd is not damaged. so it might be software....
[06:28] <georgevl> BlueEagle: I cant get through a blank screen when booting
[06:28] <BlueEagle> marco_linux: What you probably want to do then is to first make a .iso-image of the master CD and then burn it.
[06:28] <radioaktivstorm> Aerotwelve1 if youre looking to change the fonts as far as the gui goes, i think its in system>preferences>fonts there you can change them to whatever. if in firefox is the rpoblem, try edit>preferences and set new default fonts
[06:28] <BlueEagle> georgevl: When does this blank screen appear?
[06:28] <marco_linux> That's what I am trying to do.
[06:28] <eddyMul> iuc: is it ubuntu or kubuntu or xubuntu?
[06:28] <BlueEagle> (ie. what is on-screen before it?)
[06:28] <kc5goi> talk to you guys later.
[06:28] <georgevl> BlueEagle: before getting into the GUI
[06:28] <marco_linux> I am trying to create an ISO image of the CD.
[06:28] <alesan^nc> radioaktivstorm, it's better to install those that are called microsoft core fonts
[06:28] <iuc> eddymul: also, this happened with the live cd. so i tried downloading the alternate thing. checked integ as well, same problem. just saw your last question. it's ubuntu.
[06:29] <georgevl> BlueEagle: the status bar is showing prior to the blank screen
[06:29] <alesan^nc> cottima, even if I don't like the root thing, ubuntu's great.
[06:29] <eddyMul> iuc: what's your graphics card?
[06:29] <BlueEagle> marco_linux: dd if="/dev/hda" of="~/isoimage.iso"
[06:29] <shawn34> is there a video resizing calculator for linux?
[06:29] <georgevl> BlueEagle: I can cntrl+alt+backspace (not a freeze)
[06:29] <BlueEagle> georgevl: Have you tried specifying VGA safe mode on the grub boot screen?
[06:29] <iuc> eddymul: its one of em onboard ones but it's acceptable for it i think lemme check rly quick
[06:29] <alesan^nc> marco_linux, to create an image: dd if=/dev/hdX of=image.iso bs=2k
[06:29] <BlueEagle> georgevl: Another option is using the alternate install cd.
[06:29] <alesan^nc> hdX shall be modiffied accordingly to your cdrom
[06:30] <georgevl> BlueEagle: indeed. tried a few things. also tried i386 and amd64 distros
[06:30] <Aerotwelve1> radioaktivstorm: I looked around and couldn't find Times or Tahoma, which I assume are Windows only. Is there any way I can install them, or are they proprietary?
[06:30] <marco_linux> There is no way to do it win graphic mode?
[06:30] <mirak> in general there are no hard links in linux installs distributions ?
[06:30] <spiffi> hello guys, I need to connect to an xp box via ubuntu and vice versa. how can i achieve this
[06:30] <georgevl> BlueEagle: Alternative install cd?!
[06:30] <alesan^nc> Aerotwelve1, they can be installed for sure
[06:30] <BlueEagle> georgevl: Yes. It's the old text-mode installation routine.
[06:30] <eddyMul> spiffi: what do you mean by "connect"? file sharing?
[06:30] <alesan^nc> Aerotwelve1, try to google for ms core fonts ubuntu
[06:30] <BlueEagle> georgevl: Nice if the live-cd doesn't want to play with your graphics setup.
[06:30] <alesan^nc> bye
[06:31] <georgevl> BlueEagle: Interesting... how do I get intrustionc on that?
[06:31] <shawn34> does anyone know if there is a video resizing calculator for linux?
[06:31] <georgevl> BlueEagle: My vga is nv 6600
[06:31] <BlueEagle> marco_linux: Also make sure that the CD sin't mounted before trying to make an iso-image of it.
[06:31] <spiffi> eddyMul: i need to connect via the internet from work to home.,,
[06:31] <georgevl> BlueEagle: (times two) PCie
[06:31] <iuc> eddymul: ok here's what i have - mobile intel(r) 915gm/gms,910gml express.  it's internal, 60hz, and 128.0 megs
[06:31] <radioaktivstorm> oops, sorry, i thought that they were already installed and you were trying to change the displayed fonts....Aerotwelve1
[06:31] <thirdy> I'm using xfce, how do I switch to KDE?
[06:31] <BlueEagle> georgevl: I've got no experience with that exact card. :/
[06:31] <eddyMul> iuc: that's weird... intel graphics should work very well.....
[06:31] <thirdy> I've installed KDE
[06:31] <Aerotwelve1> Alright, I'll look around for them. Thanks, alesan^nc and radioaktivstorm
[06:32] <radioaktivstorm> np ^^ good luck
[06:32] <eddyMul> iuc: I don't know what's going on at this point..... sorry......
[06:32] <iuc> eddymul: exactly thats why i don't think graphics are the problem
[06:32] <georgevl> BlueEagle: Fair enough...I just hoped I can somehow install first and get on the net and look for help then...
[06:32] <eddyMul> spiffi: the easiest way I can think of is SSH.
[06:32] <radioaktivstorm> thirdy, kde  should be on the login screen under sessions. if you click sessions, it should come up with your choices
[06:32] <georgevl> BlueEagle: I installed in VMWARE under Win and works great... was thinking of switching
[06:33] <cottima> is there a way to block certain users from command line or at least have two systems with certain user being blocked from the base system?
[06:33] <georgevl> BlueEagle: "hoping" more like
[06:33] <eddyMul> spiffi: but that would only allow your XP box to connect to your Ubuntu box, but not the other way around....
[06:33] <thirdy> I've installed kubuntu-desktop with aptitude, how do I switch to KDE???
[06:33] <iuc> eddymul: right. so if its not graphics, what else could the problem be?
[06:33] <marco_linux> ok. If I umount it as root it works.
[06:33] <eddyMul> spiffi: well, for the other way around, you can (gasp) enable remote desktop.
[06:33] <georgevl> Anyone else who can help me with NVidia 6600 x 2 setup?
[06:34] <radioaktivstorm> thirdy, kde  should be on the login screen under sessions. if you click sessions, it should come up with your choices. log out then sessions then kde
[06:34] <spiffi> eddyMul: why the "gasp" :O
[06:34] <marco_linux> but it is a litte bit disappointing that I have to login as root, umount the CD in order to copy it.
[06:34] <iuc> eddymul: also, i want to install ubuntu onto the same hd as i have windows on. i've heard that this's possible, so how do i do this?

[06:46] <snail_> Cockroach, i don't see anything...
[06:46] <jiffer> how do i get like my windows application over to this
[06:46] <LjL> jiffer: you install WINE and then you install your Windows applications over it. (at least, that's one possibility)
[06:46] <georgevl> All the articles I have found for Nvidia 6600 are almost a year old and I would really like to setup Ubuntu here....
[06:46] <jiffer> ok
[06:46] <georgevl> please help
[06:47] <LjL> jiffer: don't expect all (or even many) of your Windows applications to work. this is not Windows.
[06:47] <jiffer> how do i get wine
[06:47] <LjL> !wine > jiffer    (jiffer, see the private message from Ubotu)
[06:47] <jiffer> can you send me a link mate
[06:47] <jiffer> i'm using a 32bit
[06:47] <LjL> jiffer: just did
[06:47] <fsckr> jiffer, ubuntuguide.org is your friend
[06:47] <LjL> fsckr: when it doesn't give totally ill advice
[06:47] <SlimeyPete> georgevl: you want to install your graphics drivers?
[06:47] <irbdavid> hiya - the 7.04 installer doesn't show anything on my screen when i put the disc in
[06:47] <snail_> i'm having issues with getting my wireless card to work , is there any more specific channel i should goto or does anyone here have an idea on it , ive followd the wiki on it and it's still not working
[06:47] <fsckr> for the most part its ok
[06:47] <irbdavid> just gets as far as selecting the install option, then nothing
[06:47] <fsckr> i haven't had any problems so far knock on wood
[06:48] <jiffer> so is this a good OS
[06:48] <fsckr> jiffer, yep
[06:48] <jiffer> it seems much harder to use
[06:48] <radioaktivstorm> thirdy, how goes the install? did kubuntu desktop  come on nicely yet?
[06:48] <fsckr> only because you need to read
[06:48] <jiffer> i know
[06:48] <SlimeyPete> jiffer: it's not harder, really...it's just different.
[06:48] <fsckr> you can't expect to just know what you are doing
[06:48] <georgevl> SlimeyPete: I cant get through the install... boots into a blank screen
[06:48] <jiffer> yeah
[06:48] <irbdavid> same problem here
[06:48] <Demolitio> Demolitio: I'm having problems getting sound playback to work on a freshly-installed ubuntu install.... alsa service is enabled, and the volume sliders in volume control are up to max and unmuted. suggestions? I'm using an SB audigy 2 ZS

[06:49] <youshotwhointhew> hello, can anyone give me some advice -- i think my DSDT is farked
[06:49] <SlimeyPete> jiffer: have you found the Add/Remove Programs or Synaptic applications yet? Take a look at them. You might be impressed by how easy they make things :)
[06:49] <Armageddon00> Anyone know why SCIM would complain that my ushortints aren't the right size and my chars aren't either, then it says "You might want to consider using the GNU C Compiler" when i ./configure?  I have gcc installed (obviously...)
[06:49] <_dank> how do i make xchat not connect to this channel on startup
[06:49] <jiffer> ok i'll do that mate
[06:49] <SlimeyPete> georgevl: how are you installing them? Via the Restricted Hardware Manager?
[06:49] <Cockroach> @snail_ nevermind
[06:50] <jiffer> does anyone have a link so i can get the new itunes
[06:50] <georgevl> SlimeyPete: I dont get any such options... I choose Start/Install Ubuntu and it gets to a blank screen
[06:50] <LjL> jiffer: i don't think iTunes will run on Ubuntu.
[06:50] <mneptok> georgevl: desktop or alternate CD?
[06:50] <jiffer> oh mate there is always a way
[06:50] <SlimeyPete> georgevl: try installing from the alternate CD
[06:50] <georgevl> mneptok: desktop
[06:50] <Rynoo> Did anyone else just have problems with the latest ubuntu firefox update?
[06:51] <mneptok> georgevl: SlimeyPete has the idea
[06:51] <georgevl> SlimeyPete: dont know how to :-( , whats the alternate cd?
[06:51] <LjL> jiffer, maybe. however if you want to basically only use Windows/Mac programs, i don't see the point of using Ubuntu. use a Linux player instead, methinks.
[06:51] <jiffer> i still can't seem to find the right WINE installer
[06:51] <georgevl> mneptok: do i download from somewhere?
[06:51] <mneptok> georgevl: http://montreal.canonical.com/torrents
[06:51] <SlimeyPete> georgevl: you can get the alternate CD from the download page on ubuntu.com. It uses an alternate installer program which does not use graphics (but it's still fairly simple to use)
[06:51] <LjL> jiffer: "wine installer"?
[06:51] <mneptok> georgevl: you can find the torrent for the i386 alternate CD there
[06:52] <jiffer> i want t cross platfore windows apps so i can open them on un
[06:52] <georgevl> EXCELLENT! Thank you both!
[06:52] <SlimeyPete> georgevl: you may find that once Ubuntu is installed, your graphics will work fine. If they don't, you'll be able to boot into the system at least - so you can start fixing things manually.
[06:52] <jiffer> someone said something about wine program so i can open windows programs on them
[06:52] <LjL> jiffer, you need to enable Universe and then install the "wine" package. the guide i gave you has detailed instructions.
[06:52] <pmo> i have a problem, i tried to make my sound driver work properly, installed oss-linux_v4.0-1002_i386.deb... and now the system is messed up, no sound, does anyone have a clue how to remove it and get the default one back? i can remove or install oss-linux, and alsa doesnt work. anyone know what i have to do?
[06:52] <LjL> jiffer, the someone was me.
[06:52] <Voodoonix> i recently installed a game on ubuntu, the game works fine but. there is no sound
[06:52] <jiffer> ok
[06:52] <LjL> jiffer, you don't need a "wine installer". you just need to follow that guide.
[06:52] <jiffer> your link didn't work
[06:52] <SlimeyPete> jiffer: Wine allows you to run some Windows programs, yes
[06:53] <LjL> !software > jiffer    (jiffer, see the private message from Ubotu) also, this is a more general guide about installing software on Ubuntu

[06:53] <LjL> !doesn't work | jiffer

[06:54] <mneptok> jiffer: OpenOffice not working?
[06:54] <SlimeyPete> jiffer: if you look in the System menu, there's something called Synaptic. If you run that, and add the "Universe" repository & click Reload, you'll be able to search for Wine and install it from there.
[06:54] <Joe_CoT> hey guys, what's the command(s) to disable acpi entirely?

[06:56] <LjL> jiffer: running Windows programs isn't the point of Ubuntu. at all.
[06:56] <SlimeyPete> jiffer: like LjL said. Also, you can make more software available by accessing the Repositories screen from the menus at the top.
[06:56] <jiffer> see i've been using CROSS-PLATFORM but my 30 day trial is up
[06:56] <bahnhof> mneptok: you just do it. and then you drown. :] 
[06:56] <LjL> jiffer, follow. the. guide. and if it "doesn't work", as you said, you need to DESCRIBE what does not work.

[07:00] <LjL> jiffer: you will need to pastebini the exact error you're getting.
[07:00] <LjL> !paste > jiffer    (jiffer, see the private message from Ubotu)
[07:00] <jiffer> i want ot be able to have steam and ventrillo
[07:00] <roryy> Teddy_Ramone: i'd guess unsupported hardware.  What computer is it?
[07:00] <roland_> wine is shit
[07:00] <Rynoo> LjL: unfortunately, I can't use firefox to visit that website, and lynx is garbage.
[07:00] <LjL> !language | roland_
[07:00] <aroo> jiffer: ventrilo is not going to work in wine very well
[07:00] <_dank> everything, except gts-sa has worked on win
[07:00] <ubotu> roland_: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[07:00] <Sir-Integra> or can someone possibly point me to  a channel where i can  get help.
[07:00] <majnoon> <<found a live minix cdrom
[07:00] <astomper> !wine
[07:00] <_dank> i mean wine
[07:00] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[07:00] <bharat862004> roland_: it depends on how u use it
[07:01] <KuzuX> hey
[07:01] <LjL> Rynoo: then use the #flood channel
[07:01] <KuzuX> i have a problem
[07:01] <irbdavid> georgevl: the standard (non-alternate) cd boots into a live-cd mode before you launch the installer, just got to let it get to the point where it can start X11 before the display comes up
[07:01] <mneptok> Rynoo: w3m
[07:01] <Teddy_Ramone> roryy: p4 530, asrock I865gv, nvidia 5500, 768 mb ram; do you need sth else?
[07:01] <bharat862004> KuzuX: wat prob
[07:01] <astomper> does anyone know of a program to convert .ogg to mp3?
[07:01] <KuzuX> while booting,the loadscreen becomes a console and shows many warnings:
[07:01] <bur[n] er> astomper: use "soundconverter"
[07:01] <roland_> bharat862004: i use it with 'wine program.exe'
[07:01] <snail_> when i iwconfig my wireless card and tell it to conect to a specific essid , it only shows the first letter if i iwconfig , and if i iwlist scan , it never shows results even though i'm sitting next to the router
[07:02] <Quintin> astomper: mencoder.  although you're going to lose quality
[07:02] <roland_> where program.exe is a old game, like heroes III or might and magic VIII
[07:02] <bharat862004> one  at a time plz
[07:02] <KuzuX> [time since start of boot] Buffer I/O error on device hdc1,logical cluster something
[07:02] <bharat862004> why dont u PM me
[07:02] <KuzuX> around 100 of them
[07:02] <perlmonkey> thanks for the help guys
[07:02] <KuzuX> but there's one more problem
[07:02] <astomper> Quintin: I'll lose quality no matter what program I use, won't I?
[07:02] <Teddy_Ramone> roryy: got some idea?
[07:02] <KuzuX> i don't have the device "hdc1"
[07:02] <KuzuX> :D
[07:02] <Quintin> astomper: yes.
[07:02] <LjL> astomper: correct.
[07:02] <perlmonkey> what's the max resolution which is safe to set for a 17" monitor normally?
[07:02] <roryy> Teddy_Ramone: i'm looking at the wiki for clues...
[07:02] <tommy__> hello, i just upgraded my Edgy to Feisty.. But my X wont start now
[07:02] <bur[n] er> Quintin: astomper:  mencoder is a term-based app while "soundconverter" is a GTK based gui... "soundkonverter" for KDE-based
[07:02] <Teddy_Ramone> thx
[07:02] <aroo> 1152x864 ?
[07:03] <tommy__> Fatal Error: No Devices found
[07:03] <perlmonkey> aroo: thanks
[07:03] <tommy__> or something
[07:03] <aroo> perlmonkey: 1024x768 for absolute safety probably
[07:03] <roryy> Teddy_Ramone: you can look too: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[07:03] <aroo> perlmonkey: depends on the monitor though I guess
[07:03] <roland_> wtf i enabled 'workspaces on a cube' and there is no cube
[07:03] <perlmonkey> i see
[07:03] <roland_> in desktop effects
[07:03] <bur[n] er> perlmonkey: wide?  if not... 1280x1024 probably  1024x768 as aroo says will work for sure
[07:03] <perlmonkey> thanks
[07:03] <astomper> Quintin, LjL, bur[r] ner: thx all
[07:03] <aroo> roland_: press shift+arrow key
[07:03] <roryy> Teddy_Ramone: is this booting using the ubuntu CD ?
[07:03] <Sir-Integra> roland_,  set a hotkey
[07:04] <Teddy_Ramone> roryy
[07:04] <aroo> roland_: oops i mean ctrl+alt
[07:04] <bahnhof> tommy__: do you use the closed source drivers (fglrx or nvidia)?
[07:04] <Teddy_Ramone> roryy: yep
[07:04] <tommy__> no, i use the via drivers
[07:04] <roland_> i just want to grab the window and move it over by dragging it to the edge of the screen to go to the next side of the cube, this worked 1 hour ago on the livecd and after the install too, and now it does not work
[07:04] <tommy__> tried both xserver-xorg-video-via and unichrome
[07:04] <roland_> and i did not change anything in any configuration
[07:05] <roland_> except setting 24 bith depth in Xorg config
[07:05] <bahnhof> tommy__: did you check your xorg.conf for any changes the update might have done?
[07:05] <KuzuX> any help for my problem?
[07:05] <snail_> KuzuX, what's that?
[07:05] <Teddy_Ramone> roryy: can sound card make any difference? 'cos mine is integrated with motherboard and it makes problems even for windows
[07:05] <tommy__> i just got this laptop back from rep, so i dont remember the config, does not have a backup.
[07:05] <KuzuX> hile booting,the loadscreen becomes a console and shows many warnings:
[07:05] <snail_> i'm in here waiting on help, but in the mean time i'll take a show
[07:06] <KuzuX> [time since start of boot] Buffer I/O error on device hdc1,logical cluster something
[07:06] <tommy__> so i dont have have anything to compare upagainst
[07:06] <KuzuX> around 100 of them
[07:06] <KuzuX> but i don't have the device "hdc1"
[07:06] <snail_> hmm
[07:06] <roryy> Teddy_Ramone: i don't know; i'm just looking for any references to i865gv on the wiki
[07:06] <jiffer> ok
[07:07] <snail_> try taking out all other hdd's ?
[07:07] <jiffer> how do i know what version of ubuntu i'm using
[07:07] <jiffer> ?
[07:07] <skulrid> hello
[07:07] <snail_> hi
[07:07] <jrib> !version > jiffer (see the private message from ubotu)
[07:07] <KuzuX> snail_:what do you mean by try taking out all other hdd's ?
[07:07] <jiffer> also i'm trying to download the right version of wine
[07:07] <jiffer> but i don;t know where to get it
[07:07] <snail_> KuzuX, turn the computer off , unplug all the hard drives except the one with ubuntu on it
[07:07] <jiffer> non of the links the guide gives me works
[07:07] <jrib> jiffer: system -> administration -> synaptic, search for wine
[07:08] <sacater> jiffer: sudo apt-get install wine
[07:08] <tommy__> ...
[07:08] <KuzuX> ok,i'll try that
[07:08] <tommy__> i cant se no apparent alterations of my xorg.cong
[07:08] <tommy__> conf*
[07:08] <bahnhof> tommy__: next thing to check would be /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[07:08] <cottima> where would I find an explanation of how the root user works and the interaction between graphical (admiin) tools and command line (admin) tools?
[07:09] <skulrid> I was trying to instal flash plugins cause I couldnt open some "games" (on miniclip for ex), now I cant see videos on youtube or any flash app. firefox is also very unstable closing without warning (sometimes it says something about fscommand protocol not associated with any program). please help overhere... thnks
[07:09] <jrib> !sudo > cottima (see the private message from ubotu)
[07:09] <czedlitz> is there a command in terminal to find out what nvidia driver i have installed ?
[07:09] <LjL> jiffer: will you just please enable Universe and then install WINE from Synaptic as the guide says? and if that fails, will you please be *very specific* about what errors you get? otherwise, you'll just waste your time and ours.
[07:09] <jrib> _dank: in the server preferences you can tell xchat not to auto-connect to this cahnnel
[07:09] <jrib> czedlitz: apt-cache policy nvidia-glx
[07:10] <roryy> Teddy_Ramone: nothing on the wiki or in the bug list for i865gv
[07:10] <jiffer> is there a way i can just go on a website and download something then open it like i can in windows
[07:10] <_dank> jrib: thanks
[07:10] <czedlitz> i didn't use apt to install them though
[07:10] <czedlitz> i used the package from the website
[07:10] <jrib> jiffer: no that's not recommended. What is so difficult about checking a box and hitting apply exactly?
[07:10] <LjL> jiffer: no, because Ubuntu works differently. actually, it's much easier than that, as the whole downloading and installing will be done for you. you just need to READ to know what to click.
[07:11] <happy1890> can anyone suggest a good ip scanner for ubuntu
[07:11] <wols> happy1890: nmap
[07:11] <jrib> happy1890: nmap?
[07:11] <happy1890> my trying to ping sweep my network
[07:11] <snail_> when i iwconfig my wireless card and tell it to conect to a specific essid , it only shows the first letter if i iwconfig , and if i iwlist scan , it never shows results even though i'm sitting next to the router
[07:11] <happy1890> do know the cmd for a sweep with nmap
[07:11] <jiffer> ok
[07:11] <jiffer> can someone tell me here to get started on how to use this OS
[07:12] <Zubzodak> hey - running 6.10 on a lenovo 1.6 c2d - problem is this: transcend external hard-drive storejet 3.5 (one of those things thats a case that you put a hard-drive in and connect via USB) doesn't show up at all . doesn't mount, and i dont think it shows in /dev . anyone have any ideas ?
[07:12] <LjL> !documentation | jiffer
[07:12] <ubotu> jiffer: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com
[07:12] <Lunar_Lamp> Now that itunes seems to be offering DRM-free music, I'd like to buy some.  Is it possible to use the itunes store/ITMS on linux?
[07:13] <new2ubuntu> um
[07:13] <DBO> Lunar_Lamp, with Wine yes you can run the windows version of itunes
[07:13] <thirdy> can I easily install GTK?
[07:13] <thirdy> using apt?
[07:13] <jrib> thirdy: I'm pretty sure you already have it
[07:13] <Lunar_Lamp> DBO, so there is no linux-interface that hooks in? I know there used to be one, but then apple changed the system so it broke.
[07:13] <LjL> thirdy: GTK is installed by default.
[07:13] <wols> thirdy: if you install gnome, you have grk
[07:13] <DBO> thirdy, you a Kubuntu user or somesuch?
[07:13] <wols> *gtk
[07:14] <LjL> thirdy: if you need to *compile* something that needs GTK, then you need libgtk2.0-dev
[07:14] <DBO> Lunar_Lamp, the best way and safest way is to use Wine to run iTunes
[07:14] <thirdy> xubuntu, currently installing kununtu-desktop
[07:14] <Lunar_Lamp> DBO, ok :-)
[07:14] <Aerotwelve1> Alright, I have one more thing to iron out here, wireless internet. When I use the System > Administration > Network tool, I only see Wired connection and modem. Does this mean Ubuntu doesn't recognize my card?
[07:14] <Lunar_Lamp> Thankyou
[07:14] <LjL> thirdy: then you do have GTK.

[07:15] <radioaktivstorm> DBO, wine can run itunes? didnt know that. i still like banshee though ^^
[07:15] <cottima> jrib:  thank you.  I have used previous versions of ubuntu and when I need to use command line tools to do a job it either busts the system in some form, the command does not affect the system how i want, or the graphical tools must be used (and the graphical tools are not usually accessable), any idea on what i should read?  Oh, by the way I am not a good linux user using desktop environments but want to do more command line and i use the na
[07:15] <zootm> thirdy: IDE for what language? It's pretty subjective in any case.
[07:15] <jrib> cottima: I can't think of a case where using command line tools would conflict with the gui tools
[07:15] <DBO> radioaktivstorm, everything but version 7.0
[07:16] <andrewmac> Anyone know how to change the opacity of the taskbar in GNOME?
[07:16] <thirdy> zoomtm, C/C++ I'm a devc++5 person
[07:16] <jrib> cottima: you got cut off at "use the na..." by the way
[07:16] <DBO> Lunar_Lamp, that reminds me, get version 6.0, 7.0 has issues with Wine
[07:16] <ltibor65> Hi guys! How can I mount an ext3 filesystem in fstab for everybody with read-write rights? I have now this: /dev/hda4 /media/hda4     ext3    defaults        0       2. What to change?
[07:16] <radioaktivstorm> DBO, crazy
[07:16] <Lunar_Lamp> DBO, right, version 6 will still work fine with ITMS?
[07:16] <the_ringmaster> right click on the bar and select preferences
[07:16] <DBO> Lunar_Lamp, should work fine =)
[07:16] <radioaktivstorm> andrewmac, right click on the panel
[07:16] <jrib> ltibor65: if it's ext3, you use chmod or chown appropriately just like any other file on your system
[07:16] <Lunar_Lamp> DBO, let the experimentation commence! :-)
[07:16] <redcard> Lunar_Lamp: Have you downloaded ANY songs from the ITMS in Itunes 7?
[07:16] <radioaktivstorm> go to preferences

[07:16] <runa> i have created a script that writes somewhere a random file. i want to use this script to make gnome random wallapaper but when i use it the wallpaper does not change because the screen needs refresh or reload; how can i do it?
[07:17] <andrewmac> Not the top bar, the bottom one.. opacity doesn't seem to be in the preferences.
[07:17] <ZeroA4> !br
[07:17] <ubotu> Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigado.
[07:17] <jrib> runa: how are you setting the wallpaper?

[07:19] <TashKavarish> I'm looking into a laptop to replace my current system, the big problem I have is finding one with 1- ubuntu compatibility 2- gigabit lan 3- a less than year's wage pricetag, anyone know of good information sites how to find such a thing?

[07:19] <rubydo> Hi, using Feisty 7.04, my system frequently locks up, becoming responsive roughly for one second every minute. If I use those seconds of responsiveness to check 'top', nothing particularly strange comes up - firefox-bin is top with 25%, but even kill -9 on that doesn't make the system resposive again. Anyone any hints?
[07:19] <jrib> fuzzy_logic: just make sure you are in the right location
[07:19] <runa> jrib : can u tell me one
[07:19] <skulrid> I think I have, how do I enable them?
[07:19] <fuzzy_logic> jrib: i am.. so i just need to paste those lines in the terminal?

[07:19] <Azhi_Dahaka> hi
[07:19] <jrib> runa: gbackground  popped up in a search
[07:20] <nekyinboots> I can do that from inside Synaptic?
[07:20] <Azhi_Dahaka> i installed ubuntu and kubuntu-desktop
[07:20] <jrib> fuzzy_logic: yes, that should work
[07:20] <Azhi_Dahaka> is there a way to switch between gnome and kde?

[07:20] <nekyinboots> How do I install KDE
[07:20] <redcard> rubydo: Hmm.

[07:26] <jrib> !anyone | jiffer
[07:26] <ubotu> jiffer: 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?
[07:26] <jiffer> i got a error
[07:26] <zYe_> how can i change my root password?
[07:26] <jrib> !root > zYe_ (see the private message from ubotu)

[07:26] <gravemind> redcard: so, what do I do with this .deb file? just double click it?
[07:26] <Wisdom07> redacrd i used it but it doesnt work!
[07:26] <Azhi_Dahaka> How can i recover anything?
[07:26] <snail_> jiffer, not to be mean but read this http://www.sabi.co.uk/Notes/linuxHelpAsk.html
[07:26] <jiffer> does anyone know about errors
[07:26] <tommy__> bahnhof: That section only holds three parameters, Identifier, driver and busID
[07:26] <redcard> The CVS Mplayer one.. just right click on it.
[07:26] <tommy__> Bussid is right according to lspci
[07:26] <jrib> jiffer: be specific and state your problem on a single line please
[07:26] <getoo> where is .gaim in pidgin ?  i am trying to erase all the users and saved passwords  , but theres no dir to be seen
[07:26] <gravemind> yeah that's the one I'm downloading
[07:26] <getoo> i meant pidgin
[07:26] <redcard> gravemind: It should say something like "Install with GDebi" or something
[07:27] <bahnhof> tommy__: what is the Driver entry?
[07:27] <tommy__> via
[07:27] <Noda> Hello
[07:27] <snail_> getoo, i dont know but ive heard somthing like .purple
[07:27] <jrib> Azhi_Dahaka: what do you want to recover?
[07:27] <redcard> gravemind: THen the Installer will pick up any extra stuff you need, and you should be good to go
[07:27] <getoo> snail_: thanx
[07:27] <getoo> that dir is there
[07:27] <getoo> thank u
[07:27] <nekyinboots> Sorry bounced.... Do I install Kbuntu desktop or just Kde?
[07:27] <snail_> =)
[07:27] <irbdavid> how do I install a bootloader from the livecd?  i need to put one on my windows harddrive, and the installer didnt do that it appears
[07:27] <snail_> getoo, glad to help
[07:27] <Azhi_Dahaka> my session
[07:27] <bahnhof> tommy__: and does the identifier appear in the corresponding Section "Screen"?
[07:27] <Noda>  Could anyone help me with a slight issue?
[07:27] <Noda>  I want to install ubuntu studio so it shows up as an option on the ubuntu login screen
[07:27] <Noda>  Can I do that?
[07:27] <gravemind> redcard: oh, ok. I downloaded it instead of install with GDebi. I'll just open it when it's done
[07:27] <jrib> nekyinboots: kubuntu-desktop will give you a setup just like kubuntu users get (so you'll have the kde programs to go along with your kde desktop)
[07:27] <Azhi_Dahaka> i wanted to switch to test kde but now i have a black screen

[07:29] <radioaktivstorm> nekyinboots....depends, kubuntu-desktop has abunch of apps packaged with kubuntu, and the kde-core....well its the core. so its got less extras with it :) hope that helps
[07:29] <asdf> redcard: that's not an option
[07:29] <irbdavid> thanks
[07:29] <Azhi_Dahaka> the one on the poweroff menu

[07:30] <redcard> asdf: It might be holding down control and clicking.
[07:30] <jrib> Azhi_Dahaka: hit ctrl-alt-f1 and enter 'sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart'  (or kdm if you switched to that)
[07:30] <jiffer> how do i uninstall this OS
[07:30] <docta_v> is there an easy way to disable an lvs node or do you have to delete it/add it
[07:30] <wols> nekyinboots: with apt-get
[07:30] <tommy__> bahnhof: Thanks anyway!
[07:30] <LjL> nekyinboots:  sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop 
[07:30] <asdf> redcard: that doesn't do anything
[07:30] <jiffer> anyone know how to UNINSTALL THIS OS
[07:30] <wols> jiffer: you overwrite grub in the MBR and delete the partition
[07:30] <Azhi_Dahaka> ctrl+alt+f1 does nothing
[07:30] <sibot> woah

[07:31] <sibot> and i was joining it :P
[07:31] <sibot> i am in the ubuntu channel right :S?
[07:31] <Azhi_Dahaka> nope
[07:31] <DBO> rubydo, lets find a solution now =)
[07:31] <snail_> jiffer, in windows right click on my computer , goto manage , then like disk utilities , and from there you should be able to format partitions
[07:31] <LjL> sibot: yes
[07:31] <cello_rasp> hi. does ubuntu-studio have a good fruityloops analog yet?
[07:31] <LjL> snail_: that will leave him with a broken bootloader however
[07:31] <jiffer> ok so i have to b e in windows to do it
[07:31] <jiffer> ?
[07:31] <Noda> Guys, can I install UbuntuStudio so that I can choose it from the Ubuntu login screen/
[07:31] <lockd> jiffer: you install another OS over it

[07:32] <A[D] minS> what i should do ?

[07:33] <A[D] minS> LjL: less than 4 lines
[07:33] <jiffer> i want to get grid of ubuntu
[07:33] <redcard> gravemind: No.. it shouldn't.. try using the Debian file off the DeVeDe website for DeVeDe
[07:33] <LjL> A[D] minS: that's never been a rule.
[07:33] <DBO> rubydo, are you using ndiswrapper?
[07:33] <wols> Noda: man menu.lst it's a text file
[07:33] <martyska> hey
[07:33] <jiffer> i want it totaly removed from my hdd
[07:33] <redcard> jiffer: Then you need to install another OS over the top of it.
[07:33] <LjL> jiffer: install and run "ms-sys", then format the Ubuntu partition from Windows. you've been told this already however.
[07:33] <wols> jiffer: I told you how
[07:33] <wols> redcard: no
[07:33] <Noda> thanks wols
[07:33] <A[D] minS> LjL: as far as i know more than 5 lines use pastebin
[07:34] <martyska> you say in englisch
[07:34] <Subman> omg... all this work jsut install WINE
[07:34] <jiffer> ok
[07:34] <jiffer> Peace out everyone
[07:34] <rubydo> DBO: I'm pretty sure I'm using bcm43xxx but I may still have ndiswrapper installed - let me check...
[07:34] <gravemind> redcard: the devede download they have isn't .deb, it's tar.bz2
[07:34] <jiffer> catch ya on the flip
[07:34] <redcard> gravemind: Hmm..
[07:34] <LjL> A[D] minS: well, you know wrongly... next time you'll keep it in mind.
[07:34] <DBO> rubydo, "smod | grep ndiswrapper"will let you know
[07:34] <martyska> o co chodzi??
[07:34] <jrib> Azhi_Dahaka: that should reboot your computer a little more safely than just hitting reset on your case
[07:34] <Azhi_Dahaka> Welll... that did nothing
[07:34] <Aerotwelve1> Hi everyone, I'm trying to install some wireless card drivers, and they say to run "make". When I try to run it, I get this message: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23753/ How do I resolve this? Thanks.
[07:34] <shiryu> #azureus
[07:35] <redcard> gravemind: I don't know what to suggest, honestly, at this point.  I thought you can force the DeVeDe to install.  Does anyone else here know how to force a package to install?
[07:35] <DBO> rubydo, "lsmod | grep ndiswrapper" will let you know  (sorry, typo last time)
[07:35] <asdf> anyone know how to remap "right-click" to F12?

[07:36] <Gazoo> can anyone help me get wireless working with the live cd
[07:36] <wols> Gazoo: most wlans need firmware which is non-free. so I doubt it
[07:36] <shiryu> anyone can help me?
[07:36] <rubydo> DBO: Did the lsmod, nothing returned, so I don't have ndiswrapper. I do have bcm43xx though: http://pastie.caboo.se/67262
[07:36] <LjL> shiryu: ubuntu doesn't have a firewall.
[07:36] <Gazoo> what
[07:36] <snail_> one more time.... I have followed the ubuntu guide for using ndiswrapper to get a working wifi card, and have not been able to connect either because the iwlist scan doesn't turn up anything (despite being arms reach away) or because after i set the ESSID , doing iwconfig shows only the first charactor in the essid slot , does anyone has a decent tutorial/guid to troublshooting my wireless issue
[07:36] <nekyinboots> Gazoo, I couldn't get my wireless card working without a install
[07:36] <Azhi_Dahaka> any ideas to find out why it did get stuck?
[07:36] <wols> shiryu: there is no ubuntu firewall per se. ubuntu doesn't have a default firewall
[07:37] <Gazoo> i just want to get my lappy on my accesss point
[07:37] <shiryu> LjL but when im in azureus it says that it is blocking me
[07:37] <DBO> rubydo, ok, we need to see if thats the problem (Im better dollars to donuts it is)
[07:37] <wols> snail_: do you have a wlan device? check with ifconfig -a
[07:37] <pmo> is there any recovery tool for ubuntu?
[07:37] <DBO> rubydo, to do that though I need you to run the computer for a bit with that module not loaded
[07:37] <LjL> shiryu: probably your router.
[07:37] <DBO> can you do that?
[07:37] <skulrid> Ljl now I get this error, any idea?:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23755/
[07:38] <shiryu> wols but when im in azureus it says it is blocking me
[07:38] <shiryu> LjL how i change it
[07:38] <brian__> pmo: file recovery?
[07:38] <snail_> wols, my wireless cards picked up at eth1
[07:38] <wols> shiryu: do you have a router? hardware router?
[07:38] <shiryu> or i dont know
[07:38] <Noda> wols: what do I add to my menu.lst to have the UBuntuStudio?
[07:38] <LjL> shiryu: i don't know, it's your router
[07:38] <wols> Noda: the kernel for ubuntustudio
[07:38] <shiryu> i think no wols
[07:38] <jrib> Azhi_Dahaka: check logs in /var/log I suppose
[07:38] <cottima> is there a way to force sudo to use a root password w/o enabling the root user, or at least have the user enter his password and a system or group password?
[07:38] <LjL> skulrid, why on earth are you trying to install ktorrent from source?
[07:38] <Noda> Where does one get that?
[07:38] <pmo> something that restores default ubuntu settings but keeps my files?
[07:38] <jrib> cottima: yes, man sudoers.  But why?
[07:39] <Azhi_Dahaka> maybe some kind of Gentoo complex?
[07:39] <shiryu> mm and you know if i can install utorrent in ubuntu?
[07:39] <pmo> like if i mess up the system
[07:39] <rubydo> DBO: Do you mean turn off my wireless?
[07:39] <snail_> shijirou, get ktorrent , it's the same thing
[07:39] <bruenig> shiryu, utorrent through wine works perfect, ktorrent is not the same
[07:39] <gravemind> redcard - the source came with an install.sh, which I ran
[07:39] <wols> Noda: if you've installed ubuntustudio you better have a kernel for it already
[07:39] <gravemind> now I need to find where it put the program
[07:39] <quio> Hello everyone.
[07:39] <brian__> pmo: keeping /home on a separate partition - that way if you have to reinstall you just don't format /home partition
[07:39] <DBO> rubydo, I want you to blacklist the module actually, then reboot and see if you still get the issue
[07:39] <snail_> i couldn't get utorrent to work for me , and i just apt-get ktorrent...
[07:39] <skulrid> LjL k torrent crashed once, now it wont start (i see it on system monitor but the program doesent load at all, same goes to azureus), I tryed to UNinsstall/reeinstall with synaptic and nothing works, now I was trying that...
[07:40] <wols> snail_: but he will have the same problem
[07:40] <Gazoo> ok , looks like this live cd is worthless too
[07:40] <bruenig> gravemind, you are going to need to look through the install.sh and see what it is doing
[07:40] <shiryu> but how i install it bruenig in ubuntu, i think it can only be installed in windows
[07:40] <pmo> ok just that i messed up oss-linux
[07:40] <aadil> hi
[07:40] <pmo> now i have no sound
[07:40] <gravemind> bruenig: redcard - it starts up from the applications menu, so far so good
[07:40] <LjL> skulrid: what a terrible idea. the fact that you see it on the system monitor means that it *is* running, but just frozen. kill it.
[07:40] <hydan> i've got an idea for gnome that maybe some ubuntu developers can implement. like most gamers who want as little slowdown as possible, I usually swap over to openbox when gaming. it would be cool if there was some type of application that switched off all unnecessary applications in your gnome desktop before you started to game, and of course the application would allow you to switch them back on after you got through.
[07:40] <bruenig> shiryu, sudo apt-get install wine, go get utorrent.exe and then do "wine utorrent.exe"
[07:40] <Noda> wols: oh, so I have to install is separately on another partition or something?
[07:40] <rubydo> DBO: I see what you mean - the problem is that the lockups are pretty random - this one came after the laptop had been idle for about an hour
[07:40] <LjL> skulrid:  killall ktorrent  in a terminal. and don't go out of your way installing source tarballs just because a program locks up.
[07:41] <wols> Noda: have you installed ubuntustudio yet? and yes it needs its own partition
[07:41] <shiryu> ok ill try it thanks bruenig
[07:41] <rubydo> DBO: And sometimes it will run for hours without problems
[07:41] <Noda> oh.
[07:41] <DBO> rubydo, can you do it tonight maybe?  I will be here tomorrow
[07:41] <Moduliz0r> is there any small gui programs I can use to host a VPN for me and a friend?
[07:41] <quio> I have been trying ubuntu for a little while now and am curious as to how I could turn an mp4 movie into a playable dvd on a dvd player.  Any helpful sugeestions or sites I might look at?
[07:41] <skulrid> LjL already killed it LOTS of times in fact, it doesent work...
[07:41] <brian__> LjL: why don't use source tarballs if programs keep locking up?
[07:41] <jaavii> olas
[07:41] <gravemind> skulrid: restart?
[07:41] <DBO> rubydo, then you dont have to sit there and watch it, just let it run overnight
[07:41] <brian__> LjL: I use what works
[07:41] <LjL> skulrid: if you're seeing it on the system monitor, it's *not* been killed.
[07:41] <Noda> wols: I used wubi to install Ubuntu, and on the wubi support thing, it said that I could install ubuntu studio under ubuntu so I would not need separate linux instalations
[07:41] <snail_> wols, as for my wireless card it's eth1 , which i know is weird for in slackware it was eth1 as well , and when i unplug it eth1 goes away , so it's eth1 there's no doubt in that
[07:42] <skulrid> yes restarted the system lots of times too
[07:42] <LjL> brian__: have you read the discussion? i think not.
[07:42] <rubydo> DBO: That's a good idea. Let's imagine I do that and it's trouble free - what would I do then?
[07:42] <bruenig> quio, ffmpeg, dvdauthor and mkisofs and growisofs is what you would need, and some time to figure out how to use them
[07:42] <wols> Noda: then do it
[07:42] <LjL> skulrid: then why would you be seeing it on the system monitor? you mean *after* starting it then?
[07:42] <skulrid> Ljl I see it then I kill it and it disappears, when I try to ruun the program it comes again onthe monitor
[07:42] <CandyMan> Guys can you help me please? It keeps saying my external HDD is read only when I know it isn't. What do I do?
[07:42] <cottima> jrib:  I will say I make thing scomplicatied, but i am thinkking that if I need to do something my user will be on a root (sudo) level always, which I am guessing i am thinking wrong, that and some of my admin users are just for adding and disabling users (these people are computer illiterate on the most part
[07:42] <Noda> But I don't know howwwwww
[07:43] <Noda> I'm really new to this whole linux thing :<
Do I need all 3 or just 1.
[07:43] <snerfu> Is there a version of parted on the livecd like gparted or qtparted?
[07:43] <DBO> then we would first try and see if there is a fix for that module, a more recent version available, or simply move you onto ndiswrapper and see if that fixes it =)
[07:43] <LjL> skulrid: ok then kill it again and remove the ~/.kde/share/apps/ktorrent directory (careful, this will remove your downloads as well)
[07:43] <bruenig> quio, all four
[07:43] <skulrid> Ljl on startup I think it isnt on monitor, i comes after I press the program icon to start it up
[07:43] <DBO> rubydo, ^^
[07:43] <wols> CandyMan: what filesystem on the hdd?
[07:43] <wols> snerfu: yes
[07:43] <jrib> cottima: also in man sudoers, you can see how to give people access to only certain commands.  That seems like a better way to do it.  Remember, only users you put in the "admin" group can sudo
[07:43] <rubydo> DBO: gotcha :-)
[07:43] <gravemind> quio: you can also get devede - do a google search for their website (the package in synaptic is buggy)
[07:43] <snerfu> Thanks wols
 OK Thanks I appreciate the help.
[07:44] <DBO> rubydo, you know how to blacklist a module (or capable of googling it)
[07:44] <azzamat> does anyone know a site that describes how ubuntu can be controlled/used entirely from the command line? or at least a list for all the functions of the default gnome desktop?
[07:44] <skulrid> Ljl I save my downloads on a desktop folder, how do I prevent not loosing them?

[07:44] <wols> CandyMan: your umask is wrong in the mount options
[07:44] <unique> how can i allow my normal user to be able to wheel to the root ? so i can su to root...
[07:44] <skulrid> oh sory
 I will only need this one app?
[07:45] <jrib> !sudo > unique (see the private message from ubotu)
[07:45] <CandyMan> wols: How do I sort it out?
[07:45] <LjL> skulrid: remove that folder. or rename it. type  mv ~/.kde/share/apps/ktorrent ~/ktorrent-backup 
[07:45] <thirdy> KDE nice, the coolest desktop I've seen since win95=)
[07:45] <wols> CandyMan: ubotu gave you a link
[07:45] <sibot> can anyone give me the terminal command for getting java for Fiesty Fawn?
[07:45] <jrib> !java > sibot (see the private message from ubotu)
[07:45] <wols> !java | sibot
[07:45] <ubotu> sibot: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[07:45] <gravemind> quio: yes. You have to install the mplayer package from their site though, or the audio won't work properly
[07:45] <ompaul> !root | unique (we don't discuss that here - you can do what you like in the privacy of your own command line, root is not a supported user on ubuntu)
[07:45] <ubotu> unique (we don't discuss that here - you can do what you like in the privacy of your own command line, root is not a supported user on ubuntu): sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root").

[07:45] <skulrid> LjL whats the best way to remove the ~/.kde/share/apps/ktorrent directory ?
[07:45] <LjL> skulrid, i just gave you a command i think
[07:46] <sibot> ooookay!
[07:46] <radioaktivstorm> thirdy, you got your kde up and running? wonderful :)
[07:46] <bruenig> quio, do grep cdrom /etc/fstab
[07:46] <snail_> jrib, can you pipe me the java and flash (if there is one) little quick pm things
[07:46] <Luxurious> Hi
[07:46] <skulrid> sory dindt see it
 Thanks I prefer a single app to 4 especially since I'm new to this OS.
[07:46] <cottima> jrib:  I will man sudoers.  I have a better question though, if I have to use terminal to get to some graphical configuration tools (but are not on the menu), is there a list of the graphical tools names.  For example if I did not have the network config graphical tool was missing from the menu, what would I type in terminal to run it (graphically)?
[07:46] <Luxurious> Do you guys know how to change the master system volume from the command line?
[07:46] <LjL> Luxurious: "man amixer"
[07:46] <gravemind> quio: me too : )
[07:46] <thirdy> radioaktivstorm, yeah thanx everyone!
[07:46] <eX|Joe> does anyone know what program uses chkconfig?
[07:46] <wols> Luxurious: alsamixer
[07:46] <jrib> snail_: you can ask ubotu too, just type: /msg ubotu java
[07:46] <Luxurious> Thanks a fat bunch LjL !
[07:46] <LjL> Luxurious: ("amixer set Mater 50%")
[07:47] <snail_> thanks
[07:47] <LjL> wols: alsamixer doesn't let you do that
[07:47] <draco_> buntu-fr
[07:47] <gravemind> quio: it has dependencies you need to install though, but that is easy to do
[07:47] <qman> hey, is there any way to alter the label a CD drive gets? I have two drives of the same make and model, and it's difficult to tell which is which in some applications
[07:47] <bruenig> quio, do grep cdrom /etc/fstab and paste the output
[07:47] <jrib> cottima: gksudo command, to find out the names, just right click on the ubuntu icon for the menu and go to "edit menus".  I don't know of a list somewhere
[07:48] <Luxurious> Thanks a lot!!  @ LjL&wols
[07:48] <cottima> thank you for your help and patience jrib!
[07:48] <jrib> cottima: np
[07:48] <CandyMan> wols: Still no joy
[07:49] <wols> CandyMan: what is your mount line?
[07:49] <azzamat> anyone know how i can control all the gnome/ubuntu functions from the command line?
[07:49] <cottima> does anyone have experience with LTSP?
[07:49] <ompaul> qman, you can choose some mount points, please paste the contents of "df -h" and "mount" and "cat /etc/fstab" in http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[07:49] <quio> Bruenig /dev/hdb        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0

[07:49] <wols> azzamat: how would gnome from the commandline work? kinda unpossible...
[07:49] <bruenig> quio, which one is your dvd drive,?
[07:49] <thirdy> 251mb ram used, 4mb free, damn
[07:50] <wols> thirdy: free ram is a myth
[07:50] <thirdy> why?
[07:50] <wols> thirdy: if you have free ram, your OS is broken
[07:50] <azzamat> wols, i mean the functions that are on display, such as gdmflexiserver, /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh, update-manager etc
[07:50] <wols> all "free" ram is automatically diskcache

[07:51] <lockd> gravemind: no commas
[07:51] <gravemind> lockd: thanks : )

[07:51] <asdf> does anyone know how to call a right-click menu from the terminal?
[07:52] <bruenig> asdf, don't believe you can
[07:52] <ompaul> qman, where is the confusion that all looks straight forward
[07:52] <shawn34> Ubuntu will not display my monitor at the correct refresh rate regardless of what I do, someone please help. I have these annoying lines running through the screen
[07:52] <qman> ompaul, in programs like Gnomebaker, the drives have the same label, there is nothing to distinguish which is which
[07:52] <asdf> bruenig: is there a way to map a "right-click" menu to a certain key command like F12?
[07:52] <qman> they are called "BENQ DVD+-RW" or something along those lines
[07:52] <gravemind> quio: before you install quio, install its dependencies by running this command: sudo apt-get install python python-support dvdauthor vcdimager mkisofs ttf-freefont python-gtk2 python-glade2
 it is   /dev/hdc
[07:53] <gravemind> quio: lol, I mean before you install devede
[07:53] <CandyMan> wols: Sorry about that my PC froze
[07:53] <bruenig> asdf, not sure, it is mapped to something on my keyboard, so I guess it is possible, I didn't do it though
[07:53] <skulrid> LjL it worked, ktorrent now running. thank you
[07:53] <asdf> I'm trying to map F12 to "right-click" because I have a mac
[07:54] <gravemind> asdf: you don't have a right clicking mouse?
[07:54] <CandyMan> wols: There is nothing under mount point, mount settings and file system
[07:54] <asdf> gravemind: I only use the touchpad
[07:54] <radioaktivstorm> ompaul, this article on memory management is fascinating!
[07:54] <bruenig> quio, this script should be able to convert any video file you have and then burn it to a dvd
[07:54] <bruenig> quio, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23757/
[07:55] <gravemind> asdf: I found myself in the same situation at one point. I wish they made a right clicker on the touchpad. I ended up buying a microsoft usb mouse
[07:55] <ompaul> radioaktivstorm, read kernel sources if you want beyond the fascinating ;-)
[07:55] <tsikis> hello there
[07:55] <bruenig> quio, just run it with ./script nameoffile (or whatever you call the script)
[07:55] <shawn34> Ubuntu will not display my monitor at the correct refresh rate regardless of what I do, someone please help. I have these annoying lines running through the screen
[07:56] <sm> morning all
[07:56] <sm> how do I change my window manger in a system-friendly way ?
[07:56] <skulrid> LjlL but my Firefox prob remains (after trying to install macromedia plugins and stuff) it is very unstable, cant see youtube videos or flash app, closes without warning on some sites...
[07:56] <radioaktivstorm> :D
[07:56] <qman> shawn34, you need to find the exact numbers for your monitor, and enter then in xorg.conf
[07:56] <sm> dpkg-reconfigure somepackage to change /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager ? but which package ? is there a better way ?
[07:56] <logixoul> Hi. I don't understand one part of Typo3's README.Debian - http://nopaste.com/p/aKMDtX2lO - can someone please explain it?
[07:56] <shawn34> qman, i did
[07:56] <ompaul> qman, so if the problem is your CDs / DVDs then what I used to do stick a cd in and then write the names on the drive,
[07:56] <shawn34> qman, exactly
[07:57] <CandyMan> Hello can someone help me with my external HDD please? It comes up as read only and won't let me write to it
[07:57] <shawn34> qman, its displaying at 55 instead of 60
[07:57] <irbdavid> i can't seem to get this grub lark to work - at boot up i just get 'grub' printed in the top left of my screen and nothing else - can't enter any commands or anything
[07:57] <zoom> what is the better prog between vlc and mediaplayer please ?
[07:57] <wols> logixoul: owner of the typo3 files
 I'll still have to get the 4 apps you suggested though correct.  My appologies I am a NewB
[07:57] <erUSUL> CandyMan: ntfs?
[07:57] <qman> ompaul, not the media, both drives are the same make and model, and gnomebaker uses the vendor string instead of device or mount point to identify them. I was wondering if there's a way to change it
[07:57] <wols> logixoul: needs to be www-data
[07:58] <shawn34> zoom, matter of opinion, id say mplayer
[07:58] <irbdavid> i have ubuntu on a separate drive to windows, and the bios boots from the windows drive first (sda1)
[07:58] <bruenig> quio, did you install that script?
[07:58] <CandyMan> erUSUL: Yeah
[07:58] <zoom> thx shawn34
[07:58] <wols> CandyMan: paste your mount line in a pastebin. I asked you this before
[07:58] <rambo3> logixoul , change tje ownership of /var/www
 No not yet I thought I need the apps first
[07:59] <bruenig> !find mkisofs
[07:59] <ubotu> Found: mkisofs
[07:59] <erUSUL> !ntfs | CandyMan
[07:59] <bruenig> !info mkisofs
[07:59] <ubotu> CandyMan: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse

[07:59] <wols> erUSUL: he doesn't use ntfs
[07:59] <asdf> Anyone out there know how to map the "right-click" menu to a keystroke?
[07:59] <bruenig> !info growisofs
[07:59] <ubotu> Package growisofs does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[07:59] <gravemind> quio: are you going to install devede?
[07:59] <bruenig> !find growisofs
[07:59] <ubotu> File growisofs found in dvd+rw-tools
[07:59] <logixoul> rambo3: the actual site is in my home dir, /var/www contains merely a symlink to it. So, what dir should I chown and to whom should I chown it?
 I am confused now wether I should install the 4 you suggested or devede???
[08:00] <CandyMan> ro nosuid nodev uid=0 gid=0 umask=0222 nls=utf8 errors=continue mft_zone_multiplier=1
[08:00] <logixoul> rambo3: if I chown /home/logixoul/CMS/ to logixoul, would that be enough?
[08:00] <wols> CandyMan: that is  not the full line
[08:00] <thirdy> is it ok if the ram usage is 90% of my total ram?
[08:00] <CandyMan> wols: That is all I have
[08:00] <logixoul> rambo3: well, it belongs to logixoul anyway
[08:00] <bruenig> quio, ok do this command, should set it all up: sudo apt-get install dvd+rw-tools mkisofs dvdauthor ffmpeg && cd /usr/local/bin && sudo wget http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23757/plain/ -O video2dvd && chmod +x video2dvd
[08:00] <rambo3> !lamp | logixoul
[08:00] <ubotu> logixoul: 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+)
[08:00] <wols> CandyMan: that does nothing. try again
[08:00] <thirdy> is it ok for my generic 256mb ram?
[08:00] <logixoul> rambo3: thx
[08:00] <wols> CandyMan: it's only options
[08:01] <ompaul> qman, ahh, so, Edit, Preferences, Devices and double click on the device name
[08:01] <qman> thirdy, that's fine, as long as you aren't experiencing problems; swap space makes up for insufficient RAM
[08:01] <gravemind> quio, bruenig: the 4 packages bruenig suggested may work, but they will most likely require you to use the command line to do all the work. DeVeDe is just a graphical frontend of those programs that lets you make dvds more easily
[08:01] <CandyMan> wols: Well what should I do?
[08:01] <wols> CandyMan: paste the line that mounts it
[08:01] <thirdy> qman, ok thax
[08:01] <__aib> does anyone know about the VMWare-server packages I see on packages.ubuntu.com? do they allow me to do a complete install of vmware server??
[08:01] <wols> not the options only
[08:01] <qman> ompaul, thanks, that's exactly what I needed
[08:01] <CandyMan> wols: That is all I have, everything else is blank
[08:02] <devil_> help i cant put                  =Game("StarWars")        into an  openoffice2.0 spread sheet cell
[08:02] <wols> CandyMan: suit yourself then. HAND
[08:02] <ompaul> qman, you're welcome
[08:02] <CandyMan> wols: What? So you're not going to help me?
 OK I ran it.
[08:02] <ompaul> devil_, you can if you format cell as text -
[08:02] <wols> CandyMan: either you give me the info I need or I cannot help you. bye
[08:02] <qman> CandyMan, we need the entire mount line, not just the options
[08:03] <wols> CandyMan: and the errors you ecnounter too if any
[08:03] <sahil> Anyone know how to increase the speed of Ubuntu ?
[08:03] <wols> sahil: buy a faster PC
[08:03] <sahil> lol, a more "soft" solution?
[08:03] <tsikis> guys i got a problem with my network i got vista on one pc and ubuntu feisty on other the problem is i cannot enter the vista share even with firewall off and file sharing on it keeps asking for username password
[08:03] <tsikis> ?
[08:03] <sahil> i wanna hold of, cuz if i get anew one it will be a macbook
[08:03] <brian__> sahil: install xubuntu
[08:03] <qman> sahil, if your swap space is full, you might allocate more; find out with the "free" command
[08:04] <gravemind> sahil: there are some guides on the ubuntu forum that are pretty good
[08:04] <sahil> i have a 1.7 Ghz with 1 gig ram
[08:04] <asdf> gravemind, bruenig: sudo apt-get install mouseemu restores F12 to right-click
[08:04] <radioaktivstorm> heh. xubuntu works wonders ^^
[08:04] <sahil> but my FSB is only 600 MHz
[08:04] <dani> hi
[08:04] <mneptok> sahil: and Ubuntu is slow when compared to ... ?
[08:04] <qman> sahil, that should handle ubuntu just fine
[08:04] <gravemind> asdf: nice. Did you try it yet?
[08:04] <wols> sahil: this I don't believe. unless you run on water or liquid n2
[08:04] <dani> I have a new laptop with an intel gma X3100 and ubuntu live doesn't boot
[08:04] <asdf> gavemind: yep
[08:04] <sahil> It is fine, just a lil slow with beryl
[08:04] <CandyMan> Here is a screenshot http://img236.imageshack.us/img236/4908/screenshotrj1.png
[08:05] <wols> sahil: hint: your CPU FSB is quad data rate
[08:05] <tommy__> I encounter the error: No Devices detected
[08:05] <mneptok> sahil: so don't use Beryl
[08:05] <asdf> pretty simple stuff: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/utils/mouseemu
[08:05] <tommy__> when trying to start X
[08:05] <qman> sahil, that's a graphics card issue; get a better video card (but you can't if you have a laptop)
[08:05] <sahil> I have a 256 MB ATI card
[08:05] <mneptok> sahil: in a laptop?
[08:05] <wols> sahil: be happy you managed to run beryl at all
[08:06] <devil_> ompaul cool thanks
[08:06] <qman> sahil, the amount of memory on it is not as important as the chip's speed and capability
[08:06] <gravemind> asdf: great. I'll remember that if I put ubuntu back on my macbook. (I wonder if there's a darwin or a windows equivalent : )
[08:06] <CandyMan> wols: So what do I do? I don't even know if it's mounted properly
[08:06] <sahil> its a year old, just doesnt handle the full screen fire on close smoothly
 What is the site to go to in order to download yours?
[08:06] <ScottAS> sahil: Asus are releasing an External Graphics Processing Unit especially for Laptop Users this year. I thought you may find it useful. :)
[08:07] <gravemind> quio: I had it a second ago
[08:07] <sahil> I am thinking of upgrading this one so i can use it for like another 3 years or so
[08:07] <sahil> my lappy is 2 years old
[08:07] <gravemind> quio: http://www.rastersoft.com/programas/devede.html
[08:07] <gravemind> quio: the files you need are at the bottom
[08:07] <mneptok> sahil: dude. you're seriously asking how to "speed up Ubuntu" because one effect of a bleeding edge unsupported compositor is "a little slow"?  :)
[08:08] <gravemind> quio: you also have to install the dependecies with this command (in case you missed it earlier): sudo apt-get install python python-support dvdauthor vcdimager mkisofs ttf-freefont python-gtk2 python-glade2
[08:08] <sahil> yes
[08:08] <linuxnub> whats the command line for uninstalling a program
[08:08] <mc44> mneptok: gotta have fast fire dude, get with the 21sat century!
[08:08] <wols> sahil: get a decent videocard for linux (ie not ati based)
[08:08] <xcd> lol
[08:08] <bruenig> quio, ok so now just do video2dvd filename and it should go
[08:08] <mc44> linuxnub: sudo apt-get remove program
[08:08] <xcd> i remember back in the day when people were like
[08:08] <linuxnub> thanks
[08:08] <xcd> "get a decent nic card: i.e. 3com"
[08:08] <missc> -exit
[08:08] <CandyMan> Please help me
[08:09] <qman> sahil, it's your graphics card; age isn't really as much of a factor as type and speed of video card
[08:09] <bruenig> quio, make sure you have a blank dvd in the tray
[08:09] <qman> sahil, nvidia cards work much better in linux
[08:09] <sahil> qman, can u suggest a good card
[08:09] <sahil> nooooooooo
[08:09] <sahil> with nvidia you get the black window bug
[08:09] <magnetron> sahil: the intel cards are the best supported in linux
[08:09] <thompa> anyone know of a way to copy damaged music cds?

[08:09] <mneptok> sahil: you can't replace the graphics in your laptop, can you?
[08:09] <gravemind> thompa: did you try cdrdao yet?
[08:10] <Lella> ohii ciaoooo
[08:10] <gravemind> it works fairly well
[08:10] <qman> sahil, what black window bug
[08:10] <psycho> hola
  OK I downloaded devede-2.13.tar.bz2 and mplayer-cvs-2007-04-11-0-i386.deb My appologies but how do I install them?
[08:10] <thompa> gravemind: nope., tried nothing, the cd in question skips on a few tracks
[08:10] <brian__> are the intel ones actually open source? because I know how those wrapper things work
[08:10] <gravemind> thompa: it uses cdparanoia to check for errors
[08:10] <irbdavid> is there no program that takes you through the grub setup?  the installer didnt even appear to generate a grub.conf file
[08:10] <thompa> gravemind: so its maybe possible to fix?
[08:10] <qman> mneptok, depends on the laptop, but I think he's talking about a desktop
[08:11] <bruenig> quio, that was not my advice, whoever told you to that will have to tell you, right now all you must do is video2dvd whatever.mp4 and it will work
[08:11] <magnetron> quio: you should not download them with a web browser. use synaptic instead, it will download AND install them for you
[08:11] <gravemind> thompa: yeah, give it a try
[08:11] <CandyMan> !ntfs-3g
[08:11] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[08:11] <thompa> gravemind: ok thanks
[08:11] <gravemind> quio: to install them, doubleclick on the mplayer one and that will install
[08:12] <gravemind> quio: then do that command I sent you in terminal if you haven't already
[08:12] <psycho> can anyone help me with an orinoco gold pcmcia card w/ antenna, i have the disk but it only has windows drivers and for some reason i cannot get it to work with feisty
[08:12] <gravemind> quio: tell me when you're done with those
[08:12] <dxdemetriou> Can I make the firefox menus to be all in english? I don't want it to translate them
[08:12] <Wooksta> can anyone help? im having a problem with ubuntu feisty server... i have an old box which was running ubuntu desktop (edgy eft) and i just re-installed to fiesty server but now every time when the system tries to start it gets past grub, i get a "Starting up..." message and then the system resets, how can i debug this issue?
[08:13] <amitron> It seems that OpenGL on my ATI Radeon 9200 card is no longer supported by the drivers! What do I do now?
[08:13] <quio> ok i installed the mplayer-cvs-2007-04-11-0-i386.deb
[08:13] <gravemind> quio: alright, now run the command in terminal
[08:13] <ScottAS> amitron: Does ATi provide a Legacy Driver?
[08:13] <irbdavid> grub configuration?
[08:14] <fresa> hi
[08:14] <ScottAS> Hello fresa.
 What comand??
[08:14] <qman> Wooksta, try #ubuntu-server
[08:14] <fresa> i've a problem trying to get a 8187 wifi card on kubuntu feisty with ndiswrapper
[08:15] <qman> amitron, buy an nvidia card
[08:15] <gravemind> quio: just a sec
[08:15] <maquivex> holas
[08:15] <maximal_> Wooksta: have you tried booting with the verbose option rather than quiet?
[08:15] <gravemind> quio: sudo apt-get install python python-support dvdauthor vcdimager mkisofs ttf-freefont python-gtk2 python-glade2
[08:15] <fresa> i backlisted the 8187 modules, but ndiswrapper still says to me that there is another driver
[08:15] <needhelp> Can anyone name a rar password cracker for GNU/linux/ubuntu ?
 Thank you for your patience. I know it gets frustrating.
[08:15] <fresa> lsmod | grep 8187 is blank
[08:15] <Wooksta> maximal, no i'll give that a try
[08:15] <amitron> ScottAS: what?
[08:16] <eddyMul> BlueEagle: w.r.t. my intent to install gutsy packages: I found out about apt-pinning. Yay!
[08:16] <azzamat> needhelp, the easy way out: googling for the file name
[08:16] <qman> amitron, to my knowledge, ati does not provide a legacy driver. You could attempt to compile an old version manually, but that's not likely to work
[08:16] <gravemind> quio: it's no problem really. When you've done that, extract the devede file you downloaded by double clicking it, doubleclick the install.sh file
[08:16] <Wooksta> maximal_ it still may be a challenge as it resets pretty much straight away after it gets past grub
[08:16] <gravemind> everyone: can you run a .sh file by doubleclicking it?
 By the way the only one i installed was the one I told you I do not know how to install the devede-2.13.tar.bz2
[08:17] <qman> amitron, if you can get a hold of an older nvidia card, I suggest doing so, as nvidia provides legacy drivers for everything as old as the GeForce 2
[08:17] <mirak> can grub be installed on a reiserfs partition ?
[08:17] <needhelp> azzamat: for the rar-file you mean? I dont think I'll find the name elsewhere. Need to extract a rar file when I have forgotten my own password
[08:17] <gravemind> quio: how did you install it? I mean, what steps did you take exactly did you do?
[08:17] <maximal_> Wooksta: it may be that the splash screen is causing the crash - try replacing quiet splash with verbose
 Ok Done.  I extracted the files.
[08:18] <ticky> hi. i'm having issue (Input/output errors) burning ISO dvds . does anybody know how to fix this?
[08:18] <gravemind> quio: do you know how to change directory in terminal?
[08:18] <quio> yes
[08:18] <fivetwentysix> Is it possible to install adobe flash on the x86_64 architecture?
[08:18] <Wooksta> maximal_ , ok i'll give that a shot, cheers :)
[08:18] <gravemind> quio: ok, change directory to the folder you extracted, and do this command: ./install.sh
[08:19] <brian__> fivetwentysix: not to my knowledge, except maybe with WINE
[08:19] <xcd> fivetwentysix: yes there is
[08:19] <xcd> fivetwentysix: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=290785
[08:19] <brian__> xcd: oh, there is?
[08:19] <smallfoot-> is there any CD burning software on the Ubuntu LiveCD ?
[08:19] <gravemind> quio: actually, that should be sudo ./install.sh
[08:19] <xcd> you have to use a 32bit wrapper
[08:20] <xcd> and it's not really an official ubuntu fix or anything.
[08:20] <xcd> but that worked for me
[08:20] <gravemind> smallfoot-: did you try k3b?
[08:20] <pablo_> nas
[08:21] <irbdavid> in the grub menu.lst, should my windows drive be: root (sda1,0)   ? if it's on sda1?
[08:21] <qman> there's a command line utility called "cdrecord", though I'm not sure if it's present in the live environment
[08:21] <tmroland> smbclient provides windows SMB client-side functionality?
[08:21] <varka> fivetwentysix: ndispluginwrapper
[08:21] <xcd> fivetwentysix: this site also does essentially the same process... but this is the one i actually followed myself: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=341727
[08:21] <tmroland> so no need for windows
 I get this output       ./install.sh: command not found
[08:21] <qman> irbdavid, no, all grub devices are (hd#,#)
[08:21] <irbdavid> so....
[08:22] <gravemind> quio: ok, that just means you are in the wrong folder.
[08:22] <pressenter> Good afternoon.
[08:22] <irbdavid> ubuntu is apparently (hd0,0)
[08:22] <qman> irbdavid, look at /boot/grub/device.map, it'll tell you what's what
[08:22] <xcd> fivetwentysix: and it'd be my suggestion to write somewhere what files you installed with dpkg/what symbolic links to delete so when adobe really does come out with an x86_64 version of the player, you can uninstall the old junk you won't need anymore :)
[08:22] <pressenter> How can i get ukrainian language support in ubuntu?
[08:22] <irbdavid> thanks
[08:22] <irbdavid> whats the signficance of the the ',0' ?
[08:22] <gravemind> quio: you should be inside the devede-2.13 folder
[08:23] <qman> irbdavid, the first number is the drive number, the second is the partition number
[08:23] <nuked_omen> pressenter: try system > administration > language support
  My bad.  Let me try again ;)
[08:23] <qman> irbdavid, the first drive is 0, and the first partition is 0
[08:23] <ompaul> pressenter, as you install you will be offered choices, choose the langauge / locale you require
[08:24] <mattloaf1> Hi, everyone... I'm trying to use an Ubuntu Live CD to access a Windows HD in my system... how can I browse the Windows drive file structure through Ubuntu?
 OK that is done.  Went reallll quick though.
[08:24] <fresa> please someone could help with ndiswrapper on feisty?!
[08:24] <gravemind> quio: good, that means it found no errors : )
[08:24] <ticky> does anybody know how can i turn off IDE-SCSI emulation? do i need to recompile the kernel, or what
[08:24] <gravemind> quio: you should be able to find it in applications>sound and video
[08:25] <pressenter> ompaul: But i have my system already installed with polish language support. When i'm trying to use mp3s with ukrainian signs they are all outputted wrong.
[08:25] <irbdavid> grr.  my entry for windows in my menu.lst just causes grub to cycle at boot
[08:25] <gravemind> ticky: is your ide cd drive not working?
[08:25] <qman> mattloaf1, you can mount it read only by doing the following in a terminal: "sudo mkdir /media/drive; sudo chmod 777 /media/drive; sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /media/drive"
  What program is it?/?
[08:25] <qman> mattloaf1, assuming your windows drive is /dev/hda1
[08:25] <irbdavid> 'press esc to enter the menu" repeatedly after selecting windows :(
[08:25] <gravemind> quio: DeVeDe
[08:25] <ticky> gravemind: i'm getting input/output errors, when i try to burn a dvd from an ISO image.
[08:25] <qman> mattloaf1, to get read/write access, you need ntfs-3g
[08:26] <mattloaf1> qman, how do i know what designation my HD has if not hda1
[08:26] <ticky> gravemind: i've read that one of the solutions might be to do that.
 I dont see it there??
[08:26] <ompaul> pressenter, you want to add more fonts, open synaptic package manager and add the ones you need
[08:26] <gravemind> ticky: oh, I don't know then. Sorry.
[08:26] <gravemind> quio: uh oh
[08:26] <ticky> gravemind: that's ok. thanks.
[08:26] <pressenter> ompaul: Ok, will search, thanks.
[08:26] <irbdavid> i need help setting up grub, something critical must be missing
[08:26] <gravemind> quio: try typing devede in the terminal
[08:26] <qman> mattloaf1, that depends on your system; generally, primary IDE master is hda, slave hdb, secondary master hdc, slave hdd, SATA and SCSI drives are sda, sdb, sdc, sdd, etc...
[08:27] <qman> mattloaf1, the number is the partition number on the drive, starting with 1
[08:27] <quio> It says it cannot find vcdimager??
[08:27] <linnuxxy> if i attach a usb device to the computer... how to know where it has been mapped in the /dev directory
[08:28] <irbdavid> is there a setup utility for grub that will do this for me?
[08:28] <qman> linnuxxy, it should be the next available sd device
[08:28] <aman> no
[08:28] <mattloaf1> qman, thank you... i am assuming all of those 'sudo' commands are not on the same line, but entered on different lines?
[08:28] <lockd> anyone had luck with libflash? I can't seem to get the official plugin to work in firefox trunk
[08:28] <Voodoonix> i need some help with a sound card
[08:28] <qman> linnuxxy, so if you have no SATA or SCSI drives or anything else attached, it would be sda
[08:28] <lockd> libflash-mozplugin on any (non-alpha) browser
[08:28] <ama-deus13> hello, everyone
 It runs but it says it cannot find vcdimager
[08:29] <irbdavid> is there a setup utility for grub that will do this for me?
[08:29] <qman> linnuxxy, otherwise, it would be the next available, like sdb, sdc, etc...
[08:29] <linnuxxy> qman it is a serial to usb adaper... not a disc
[08:29] <gravemind> quio: try sudo apt-get install vcdimager
[08:29] <qman> linnuxxy, oh, I thought you meant a flash drive
[08:30] <nekyinboots> Thanks for all the help installing Kubunto Desktop
[08:30] <linnuxxy> is there something in the /proc i may search for?
[08:30] <qman> linnuxxy, I've used a USB to serial port adapter before, and it assigned itself the second default serial port device
[08:30] <ama-deus13> urgent.  i get troubles recording dvd-rw in ubuntu. i download some stuff for my friend, record it to his dvd-rw and then he uses it in windows. problem is that i can't erase that dvd. even being erased in nero it just doesn't want to record
[08:30] <linnuxxy> qman ttySn?
[08:30] <irbdavid> anybody?  i can't boot windows here
  OK did it I'm going to give it a go.
[08:30] <qman> linnuxxy, yes
[08:30] <irbdavid> i want to install a bootloader to the root of my windows drive, right?
[08:31] <linnuxxy> qman... is there something easier than the minicom?
[08:31] <linnuxxy> something like the HyperTerminal?
[08:31] <qman> linnuxxy, I agree, minicom is awful to use, I can't remember what application I used, though; it was more similar to hyperterminal
 Woo Hoo!!!  I will try to burn now.  Lets see how it goes.  Your the best!!
[08:32] <ScottAS> Did someone send me a message?
[08:32] <irbdavid> what does the chainloader do in grub?
[08:33] <Noiano> hello everybody
[08:33] <qman> irbdavid, it loads another bootloader
[08:33] <Noiano> I am looking for a simple beginners guide for iptables...any suggestions?
[08:33] <qman> irbdavid, for example, to boot windows, you would chainload the windows bootloader
[08:34] <irbdavid> if i write grub to the root of sda1 then it will overwrite the windows bootloader though right?
[08:34] <smallfoot-> gravemind, is k3b available from the LiveCD?
[08:34] <nekyinboots> One thing I would like, does anyone know of a good frontend for transcode?
[08:34] <gravemind> quio: great, I
[08:34] <gravemind> I'm glad it worked
[08:34] <gravemind> smallfoot-: I don't know offhand
[08:35] <smallfoot-> okie
[08:35] <qman> irbdavid, it won't overwrite it, it will, however, take it's place in the mbr
[08:35] <idefixx> irbdavid: it will probably overwrite the ms bootsector (u dont want that) if windows is installaed to sda1
[08:35] <qman> Noiano, http://iptables-tutorial.frozentux.net/chunkyhtml/index.html
[08:35] <smallfoot-> because im getting new computer, it has no os, i have no recent os on cd, but i have an old livecd, so i thouht i can use it, to download new iso, and burn
[08:35] <qman> irbdavid, by installing grub "over" it in the mbr, you merely need a chainloader statement to boot windows
[08:35] <Noiano> qman, thanks
[08:35] <linnuxxy> qman : is it GtkTerm?
[08:35] <irbdavid> so it needs 'chainloader +1" in there?
[08:35] <qman> linnuxxy, probably, that sounds familiar
[08:36] <idefixx> qman: no he is talking about sda1 not sda.. sda1= bootsector not mbr
[08:36] <qman> irbdavid, yes
[08:36] <irbdavid> this sucks.  booting i just get a 'grub' prompt that i can't type anything into now
[08:36] <smallfoot-> is there any command, to creat a RAMdisk, so i can download an ISO to the RAMdisk and burn the ISO from the RAMdisk to a CD ?
[08:36] <irbdavid> if i let the bios boot that drive first
[08:36] <rambo3> how do i add free space to my ubuntu parition
[08:36] <qman> irbdavid, it must not be finding the configuration
[08:37] <blue|palm> Hi there, can anybody reccomend a good linux distro for C/C++ development of Linux applications? Ive heard that gentoo is supposedly good for that...
[08:37] <wols> rambo3: resize it
[08:37] <lockd> blue|palm: installing the -dev packages in Ubuntu is fine for that, though
[08:37] <wols> blue|palm: look at the channel you're in
[08:37] <rambo3> wols, orly?
[08:37] <root1> hello
[08:37] <blue|palm> lol i know what channel i am in... Im using ubuntu right now
[08:38] <armio> #chanels
[08:38] <blue|palm> The problem is that ubuntu doesnt always have the latest stuff in the repos...
[08:38] <idefixx> blue|palm: imo they are all the same for that.. gentoo however has the best build support since all the stuff u emerge is beeing build.
[08:38] <tommy__> hello again..
[08:38] <andydufresne> have u ever tried to change icons in pcmanfm?
[08:38] <lockd> idefixx: supposing they all build correctly.. it can be a pain to reconfigure
[08:38] <qman> blue|palm, if you want bleeding edge, then gentoo will have it, but ubuntu is reasonably up to date
[08:38] <idefixx> lockd: i know :)
[08:38] <tommy__> i got my X running again... But now the resolution for too low
[08:38] <jose_miguel> irbdavid, if you free a partition the ubuntu installer will recognice it and you will have the option to install it there. If you don't have space for a partition you need to resize it, maybe partition magic works well
[08:38] <tommy__> and the image gets distorted
[08:38] <irbdavid> okay, i have a bootloader installed on hda1 that can boot linux okay, and a crippled bootloader on sda1 that doesn't do squat.  the bootloader on hda1 gets stuck in a loop if i try to select the windows option - what should i do?
[08:38] <azlon> how can i find out if i have Ubuntu Desktop or Ubuntu Server?
[08:39] <tommy__> so i cant see what i am doing, how can i change the resolution from a different user or from the console?
[08:39] <wols> irbdavid: check the menu.lst entry for windows
[08:39] <irbdavid> wols: its there, i had to uncomment it myself
[08:39] <dudubs> how i can write to windows partitions from ubuntu?
[08:39] <qman> azlon, you had to pick one when you downloaded and burned the CD
[08:39] <lockd> does anyone know how to tell libflash to accept a different MIME type for shockwave?
[08:39] <blue|palm> azlon, type gnome-system-monitor into a gnome-terminal
[08:39] <wols> tommy__: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:39] <jessid> hello. i am trying to use chroot to change the root to /media/disk, but the result of sudo chroot /media/disk is cant change root directory to /media/disk: operation not allowed.... what can i do????
[08:40] <wols> irbdavid: maybe. but it certainly isn't the right entry. or it would work
[08:40] <irbdavid> obviously
[08:40] <qman> jessid, use sudo
[08:40] <wols> jessid: be root
[08:40] <idefixx> irbdavid: where is your windows installaed to?
[08:40] <blue|palm> azlon, then click the system tab
[08:40] <magnetron> jessid: are you shure you want to do that?
[08:40] <azlon> qman: i got it off bittorrent... this is my first time playing with linux
[08:40] <idefixx> irbdavid: partition?
[08:40] <tommy__> realy? cause it works for me when entering another user.. That i just created
[08:40] <dudubs> How I can write to windows partitions from ubuntu????

[08:41] <azlon> qman: can i msg you?
[08:41] <idefixx> irbdavid: if you say you have got a 'crippled' bootsector on sda1 does that mean you overwrote it at some point?
[08:41] <kenjutsu> I have this weird problem and I hope eomeone will be able to help me
[08:41] <Genomsaren> I cant install tar.gz files
[08:41] <kenjutsu> my mouse is randomly turning off and on
[08:41] <irbdavid> okay i'm worried now, ubuntu can't even mount my windows partition
[08:41] <tommy___> i got it, using xrandr -s 4

[08:42] <irbdavid> okay i'm worried now, ubuntu cant even mount my windows partition
[08:42] <idefixx> irbdavid: well thats not good (no problem though) because you killed your windows bottsector.. the one starting the ntldr.
[08:42] <kenjutsu> cuz it works after reboot
[08:42] <magnetron> kenjutsu: i got similar problems with my usb mouse
[08:42] <Aerotwelve1> Would I have to use ndiswrapper?

[08:43] <kenjutsu> I woudnt make sense how would mouse suddenly start working after reboot if it were broken
[08:43] <Genomsaren> I cant install tar.gz files how can I do it?
[08:43] <irbdavid> idefixx: i need a bootloader there to get anything to boot though, right
[08:43] <irbdavid> ?
[08:43] <kenjutsu> but it is off completely
[08:43] <a|K|a> err googling now :\
[08:43] <kenjutsu> optical light off
[08:43] <kenjutsu> ] google didnt come up with anything
[08:43] <jose_miguel> irbdavid, if both disk sda1 and hda1 are on the same machine. You should have only one boot disk, the primary disk. Install there the bootloader and then configure it to chainload windows on the second
[08:43] <wols> Genomsaren: unpack them (tar -zxvf). and then follow the instructions that came with the software
[08:43] <Genomsaren> kenjutsu maybe usb doesnt support its power or not good...
[08:43] <idefixx> irbdavid: you need the windows bootsector there to get windows to load... linux is a different issue.
[08:43] <Genomsaren> ok
[08:43] <kenjutsu> well I dindnt have these problems beforwe
[08:44] <kenjutsu> they only appeared recently
[08:44] <irbdavid> so what should i be doing then?

[08:44] <kenjutsu> after some update I guess. I dont know
[08:44] <Luxurious> Is there a list of wireless card that have support for Ubuntu out of the box?
[08:44] <idefixx> irbdavid: you can restore the windows bootsector with the windows cd.. no prob. but lets take a look at your win partition to see if its allright.
[08:44] <Luxurious> *cards
[08:44] <irbdavid> okay

[08:45] <Aerotwelve1> Hey everyone, I have a question about installing wireless drivers. If I were to install these: http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/ would I have to use ndiswrapper?

[08:45] <irbdavid> there doesnt appear to be an entry for sda1 in my fstab
[08:46] <magnetron> kenjutsu: no, but my problem is related to other stuff as well i suspect
[08:46] <wols> irbdavid: since ubuntu apparently boots you fstab is fine
[08:46] <idefixx> irbdavid: you say its sda1, right? do a 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda' and tell me what type the partition is.

[08:46] <kenjutsu> It's weir cuz it turns off completely :(( I'm confused
[08:46] <kenjutsu> And works again after reboot
[08:46] <thirdy> how do I set permission for menu.Ist?
[08:46] <wols> Genomsaren: install build-essential. also probably autoconf and automake
[08:46] <azlon> qman: ok, i have desktop (thanks to the iso title as you stated), now can i load a LAMP server on here? or do i NEED to have Ubuntu Server?
[08:47] <qman> thirdy, that's menu.lst, a lowercase L
[08:47] <thirdy> oh
[08:47] <qman> azlon, you can install LAMP, but it will be easier to do with the server CD
[08:47] <thirdy> qman, how do I set change permission settings?
[08:47] <bknitram> I'm finding that when I start my computer, swap is never mounted. How can I fix this?
[08:47] <slbkbs> /q !
[08:47] <wols> thirdy: by opening it with root permissions
[08:47] <qman> thirdy, you shouldn't need to. Are you trying to modify it? what editor do you use?
[08:48] <irbdavid> idefixx: "this doesnt look like a partition table. Probably you selected the wrong device"
[08:48] <azlon> qman: why is that? will i have to spend way more time installing LAMP? all i want is a basic wordpress page (to play around with instead of messing with my live page)
[08:48] <irbdavid> definitely the right drive though - 250GB
[08:48] <thirdy> I have Kate, Kwrite, Mousepad
[08:48] <thirdy> qman, I have Kate, Kwrite, Mousepad
[08:48] <qman> azlon, the reason server CD is easier is because it has an install process that does all the packages for you right when you install the system; with desktop, you will have to install and configure all the packages manually
[08:49] <irbdavid> stuff like "partition 1 does not end of a cylinder boundary"
[08:49] <bknitram> I've already checked /etc/fstab, it has swap in it
[08:49] <idefixx> irbdavid: hmm.. try 'sudo cfdisk /dev/sda'
[08:49] <wols> irbdavid: your ubuntu starts fine with grub yes? so why do you bother with all that?
[08:49] <qman> thirdy, run "kdesu Kate /boot/grub/menu.lst" or whichever one you wish to use
[08:49] <thirdy> OK, How do I edit in the terminal?
[08:49] <wols> sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
[08:49] <azlon> qman: frick... will i lose any features by switching to server? i picked desktop because i thought it would be more user friendly...
[08:49] <irbdavid> idefixx: that says there's a single bootable ntfs partition on there, as expected
[08:49] <qman> thirdy, if you want to use nano, "sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst"
[08:50] <qman> azlon, server doesn't have X installed, command line only by default
[08:50] <irbdavid> wols: eh?  trying to get windows to work as well
[08:50] <idefixx> irbdavid: just to be sure.. with cfdisk everything looks fine?
[08:50] <wols> irbdavid: only place you can do that is menu.lst. but feel free to ignore me
[08:50] <bknitram> I'm finding that when I start my computer, swap is never mounted. How can I fix this? fstab says swap should mount unless the uuid is wrong.
[08:50] <qman> azlon, the reason is, generally, you want to avoid having X installed on a server, as it's a security risk and performance hit, especially if you're running a bastion host
[08:50] <wols> irbdavid: most probably you make grub look at the wrong pace for it
[08:50] <irbdavid> idefixx: yes
[08:51] <aman> killtron2000 what are your findings?
[08:51] <idefixx> wols: no he shot his windows bootsector, trying to install grub.
[08:51] <irbdavid> wols: i dont know what i'm doing here tbh
[08:51] <qman> azlon, however, if you want a desktop system, and just to have a web server on it, you should stick with the desktop and install those packages on top
[08:51] <myo> hi all, newb here trying to play dvds on my dell inspiron b130 running feisty.  I keep getting this error: Totem could not play 'dvd:/' I can't find a support post for this
[08:51] <wols> idefixx: he installed grub to sda1?
[08:51] <wols> he installed it to sda. but that doesn't matter at all
[08:51] <idefixx> wols: yep
[08:51] <irbdavid> tried to yes
[08:51] <Flannel> azlon: you don't gain anything by going to server either.  All of the packages are available on both.  In fact, you end up with an identical system, only with different packages installed by default (desktop has GUI, etc)
[08:52] <wols> ok then. boot a windows XP cd. run fixboot and you're done
[08:52] <qman> azlon, there's another easy way out, though, you could install server with lamp then install the ubuntu base package
[08:52] <azlon> qman/Flannel: awesome, that sounds like what i want! should i just search Packet Manager for LAMP or do you recommend something?
[08:52] <azlon> hrmm...
[08:52] <wols> !lamp
[08:52] <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+)
[08:53] <idefixx> wols: well he said he wasnt abel to mount the windows part at all.. so im trying to figure out if it ok. i already told him to look for the win cd.
[08:53] <irbdavid> wols: where's that live on the XP cd?  i had a look for something like that but couldn't find it

[09:06] <azlon> qman: is there a specific pack i should search for in Package Manager (for LAMP on Desktop)
[09:06] <Aerotwelve1> D0es anyone here know the apt-get command for downloading ndiswrapper?
[09:06] <Freakingme> wols thanks, but that does not display my hd activity of a proces
[09:06] <wols> Genomsaren: and configure displays errors at the end

[09:07] <Aerotwelve1> I found it, thanks Freakingme
[09:07] <a|K|a> gravemind err nah
[09:07] <a|K|a> says wrong fs
[09:07] <a|K|a> bad option bad superblock
[09:07] <ticky> i need to use hdparm, and i need to reference to the hard drives as /dev/sdX the thing is.. that i reazlied that there in not such directory, and i checked, /etc/fstab adn the way it identifies the harddrives is by using the UUID, how can i reference to a directory instead?
[09:07] <wols> Genomsaren: you also need various -dev packages of gnome libraries as shown at the end
[09:08] <a|K|a> it is a ext3 filesystem
[09:08] <Freakingme> so there is no one that can tell me how I find what proces causes a lot of HD-activity?
[09:09] <Genomsaren> why they dont put these things in ubuntu as standard??? Or why they dont just compile these things...??? and make setups?
[09:09] <irbdavid> idefixx: okay, that sudo mount works
[09:09] <irbdavid> sorry bout the delay there
[09:09] <a|K|a> gravemind and ideas?

[09:10] <Mach3> im trying to mount my windows drive(s) so i can access my files from linux.  im using the ntfs-3g driver and config tool.  For reference, i have windows on a 2disk raid0 array, and linux on a separate 3rd drive.  I think the problem is that my windows 'drive' is really 2 drives in raid 0.  When i run fdisk -l it shows both individual disks, but not one that represents the raid.  So every time i try to mount sda1 (the first drive in the raid0 array) i j
[09:10] <Genomsaren> I got it...

[09:11] <irbdavid> fixboot M: complained that that didnt exist
[09:11] <idefixx> irbdavid: well as i said.. there is a bootcd/usb/floppy called supergrub. it has an option to restore the ms bootsect. just like the windows cd does. never tested it though.

[09:12] <Genomsaren> yeap it controls bandwith
[09:12] <froggy_> Ubuntu don t want start itself   i have this messagge ACPI unable to turn cooling device [df80cfcc]  'on'

[09:13] <a|K|a> I am trying to mount the ubuntu Filesystem so I can look at the files and configs
[09:13] <k00kla> 
[09:13] <wols> froggy_: use a noacpi kernelparameter in grub
[09:13] <Genomsaren> for example you can say that firefox use only 16 Kb bandwith, kopete 5 Kb etc...
[09:13] <Ropechoborra> I dont think iptables controls the bandwith
[09:13] <Genomsaren> thanks...
[09:13] <wols> !grub | a|K|a
[09:13] <ubotu> a|K|a: 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
[09:13] <sebas_> wols, eudoxos_: I mean a session that has been opened but it is not the one that I'm using
[09:13] <idefixx> Ropechoborra: but QoS does.
[09:13] <wols> sebas_: man kill, killall, pkill
[09:13] <froggy_> wols:  how ?
[09:13] <Ropechoborra> Didnt know :)
[09:13] <wols> Ropechoborra: it does
[09:13] <a|K|a> errr... guys, I am not trying to get ubuntu to work with windows at all
[09:14] <wols> Ropechoborra: well netfilter with tc. iptables is a netfilter control utility
[09:14] <wols> a|K|a: same steps
[09:14] <a|K|a> I am trying to mount a ubuntu filesystem so I can read files
[09:14] <a|K|a> ok
[09:14] <a|K|a> thanks
[09:14] <Freakingme> a|K|a en what is it, that doesn't work?
[09:14] <Freakingme> what software do you use to read the linux fs (ext3 in your case?)
[09:14] <wols> a|K|a: for installing grub. as for mounting: mount /dev/sdaX /mountpoint
[09:14] <a|K|a> haha guys... /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
[09:14] <a|K|a> that is what I get if I try to boot my ubuntu
[09:14] <a|K|a> something went jacked
[09:15] <a|K|a> so I am reading to mount the drive after booting to livecd
[09:15] <wols> a|K|a: you sure the livecd hasn't already mounted it?

[09:17] <ticky> eudoxos_: do you know why sometime when i insert a cd it will mount it as /dev/scd0 (i assume it is using ide-scsi emulation here) and others it mounts it as /dev/hda. I'm having issues burning dvd iso images and one of the reasons i read is the use of ide-scsi emulation. thanks
[09:18] <C_Kode> I really like Ubuntu. but to make it any type of developers box and a major battle.
[09:18] <majnoon> apt-get -i *
[09:18] <majnoon> ??
[09:18] <jrib> C_Kode: not really, just install build-essential and any -dev pacakges for libraries you want to work with
[09:18] <lurke> hello world
[09:18] <a|K|a> C_Kode: what development are you doing?
[09:19] <ticky> helo lurke
[09:19] <Genomsaren> wols: I intalled install-essent...
[09:19] <ompaul> C_Kode, what it is very hard to install your $editor_de_jour and build-essential ?
[09:19] <Genomsaren> wols: what to do now?
[09:19] <a|K|a> I am a web developer and I totally enjoy ubuntu over window
[09:19] <sq89> hi! is there a way to let ubuntu recreate config files, just like it created them during the install? somehow dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg messed up the backup file too, and I'd like to return to the original configuration.
[09:19] <C_Kode> jrib: I've tried.  There are so many deps and those deps fail to compile.
[09:19] <jrib> C_Kode: you don't compile anything.  You install them through APT.
[09:19] <ompaul> C_Kode, you install the packages you need
[09:19] <C_Kode> I'm trying to install pygame.
[09:19] <eudoxos_> ticky: no idea for that, but with 2.6 kernels ide-scsi emulation for burning should really not be needed. Besides, burning tools will query HAL for devices and that will probably hide device name from you, you will just see manufacturer and model name or sth like that...
[09:19] <jrib> C_Kode: sudo aptitude install python-pygame      done
[09:19] <RedGhost> Okay so one day alsa disappeared from available sound devices for no reason and OSS is a bit broken with my laptop so I attempted to install from source and broke the installation procedure. Now volume manager tells me I have no sound devices/gstreamer plugins to configure and I have absolutely no sound, a little help? :)
[09:20] <C_Kode> E: Couldn't find package pygame
[09:20] <Panda200x> I have this problem with sudo apt-get install build-essential
[09:20] <Panda200x> it tells me the package doesn't exist
[09:20] <jrib> C_Kode: that's the wrong package name
[09:20] <jrib> Panda200x: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:20] <Panda200x> Ok, what's the ubuntu pastebin? paste.ubuntu-nl.com or something?
[09:20] <ompaul>  C_Kode   python-pygame
[09:20] <hypn0> Panda200x: don't you need an s on end?
[09:21] <LjL> !pastebin > Panda200x    (Panda200x, see the private message from Ubotu)
[09:21] <ticky> eudoxos_: well. the problem might be that ide-scsi emultation is set. i wan to turn that off completly
[09:21] <C_Kode> Nope, didn't work.  No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.
[09:21] <jrib> C_Kode: then you need to enable universe
[09:21] <dyoung_> I need some help with wpa_supplicant. Who is feelin' saucy?
[09:21] <jrib> !universe > C_Kode (see the private message from ubotu)
[09:21] <eudoxos_> ticky: isn't it just a kernel module? You need to find out why it gets loaded, perhaps listed in /etc/modules?
[09:21] <C_Kode> that was dumb :(
[09:22] <ticky> eudoxos_:  i don'tknow. i have never worked with the kernel
[09:22] <hypn0> Panda200x: no you don't :-)
[09:22] <eudoxos_> ticky:  OK, how did you enable it?
[09:22] <ticky> i didn't
[09:23] <ticky> eudoxos_: i am wonderig if it was enabled by default
[09:23] <C_Kode> It kept claiming I needed smpeg and freetype2.  I couldn't get either to compile.
[09:23] <jrib> C_Kode: you aren't listening.  You don't have to compile
[09:23] <ticky> eudoxos_: otherwise, when when i insert a cd it would mount it as /dev/scdX
[09:23] <C_Kode> jrib: I know.  I have it now.
[09:23] <Panda200x> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23775/
[09:23] <Panda200x> My sources.list
[09:23] <C_Kode> My problem was with freetype2 and smpeg
[09:24] <jrib> C_Kode: ok
[09:24] <tamgo> how do I extract multifile rar archives? I tried utilizing unrar-free and it didn't work. Ark supports the archive, but needs 'unrar' and that is nowhere to be found in the repository (yes, I have uncommented all the repositories in the sources.list).
[09:24] <jrib> Panda200x: everything is commented
[09:24] <Panda200x> oh
[09:24] <LjL> !info unrar | tamgo
[09:24] <eudoxos_> ticky: what do you get something from lsmod | grep ide-scsi?
[09:24] <ubotu> tamgo: unrar: Unarchiver for .rar files (non-free version). In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1:3.7.3-1 (feisty), package size 94 kB, installed size 228 kB
[09:24] <Panda200x> So I need to uncomment all of the apt sources?
[09:24] <LjL> !multiverse > tamgo    (tamgo, see the private message from Ubotu)
[09:24] <irbdavid> okay, think i fixed it
[09:24] <irbdavid> thanks very much idefixx
[09:24] <C_Kode> jrib: thanks for the help.  (and everyone else that offered up help!)  It was appreciated
[09:24] <irbdavid> +others
[09:25] <jrib> C_Kode: np, much easier then chasing dependencies around eh?
[09:25] <irbdavid> wols: et al :D
[09:25] <C_Kode> jrib: dear god! ghah
[09:25] <ticky> eudoxos_: nothing
[09:25] <jrib> Panda200x: uncomment the ones you want/need
[09:25] <LjL> !easysource > Panda200x    (Panda200x, see the private message from Ubotu) | you might find it handier to just use this
[09:26] <ticky> eudoxos_: do you know where can i configure automount?
[09:26] <blazemonger> hi folks
[09:26] <eudoxos_> ticky: that means that the ide-scsi module is not loaded. Good.
[09:26] <tamgo> LjL, I have multiverse activated, I cannot see this package
[09:26] <blazemonger> Ubuntu fiesty is working great on my old dell notebook
[09:26] <RedGhost> Okay so one day alsa disappeared from available sound devices for no reason and OSS is a bit broken with my laptop so I attempted to install from source and broke the installation procedure. Now volume manager tells me I have no sound devices/gstreamer plugins to configure and I have absolutely no sound. I am fairly new to this and don't want to have to reformat and lose all my data I need someone to walk me through fixing this issue.
[09:27] <blazemonger> but on my desktop system ubuntu hates my video card which is a rage 128 so i use debian
[09:27] <LjL> tamgo: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list please
[09:27] <eudoxos_> ticky: I vaguely remember that in recent kernels, even ATA devices are accessed in the same way as SATA ones, which show up ad /dev/sd?
[09:27] <ticky> eudoxos_: i don't know what to do then, because i'm wasteing 1 out of 3 DVDS when i try to burn them
[09:27] <blazemonger> how safe is it to use the PLF repositories..does it have the capability to break things?
[09:27] <virusa> hi all from Georgia
[09:27] <Aerotwelve1> Hey everyone, how do I add wireless drivers to make them work with my wireless card? I believe these are native: http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/
[09:27] <ticky> eudoxos_: i didn't get your question
[09:27] <blazemonger> virusa: mississippi here
[09:28] <virusa> :D
[09:28] <ticky> hi virusa
[09:28] <blazemonger> virusa: small world man
[09:28] <Aerotwelve1> Native means I won't have to mess with ndiswrapper, right?
[09:28] <eudoxos_> ticky: I would think your problem is not related to that. But I have no experience in burning DVDs at all. Don't you set burner's speed too high? What symptoms do you have?
[09:28] <logixoul> hi. how do I make all files that are owned by www-data readable by my user?
[09:28] <virusa> can anyone help me with ubuntu ?
[09:28] <dyoung_> I need some help with wpa_supplicant. Who is feelin' saucy?
[09:28] <blazemonger> virusa: what do you need help with? I'm a newbie to ubuntu but i can try
[09:28] <erUSUL> !anyone | virusa
[09:28] <ubotu> virusa: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[09:28] <virusa>  <ubotu> sorry
[09:29] <tamgo> LjL: http://paste.uni.cc/16042
[09:29] <ticky> eudoxos_:  i use k3b, i set it to burn 5 dvd and it might burn 2 ok and in the third one  it will screw up. the dvd-r's are 16x and i set it to 16x (not auto).. some work. some others don't
[09:29] <logixoul> virusa: uBOTu is a bot ;)
[09:29] <dyoung_> I get a "could not get status from wpa_supplicant" when I run wpa_gui
[09:29] <ticky> eudoxos_: and it's a 4.7 dvd iso image i'm burning
[09:29] <eudoxos_> ticky:  sorry, it was supposed to be /dev/sd?. (meaning: /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc.) Otherwise said: /dev/sd[something]  devices are not necessarily SCSI, they might be SATA or even ATA.
 ouch :D
[09:29] <Genomsaren> all: anybody know how to update Glib or gobject?
[09:30] <xjkx> IF i havent root user i cant use cupsd, how do i do when it asks for root password
[09:30] <Aerotwelve1> No one knows how to add native linux wireless drivers to make them work?
[09:30] <Panda200x> Ok, I made the sources.list from source-o-matic, and it's still presenting me E: Couldn't find package build-essential
[09:30] <xjkx> to add a print
[09:30] <erUSUL> virusa: just ask your question, do not ask to ask a question ;)
[09:30] <logixoul> xjkx: try your password
[09:30] <eudoxos_> ticky: No idea here. Perhaps if you get verbose output from cdrecord (or what it is called, the backend that does the burning) you might be able to get some insight.
[09:30] <wols> Aerotwelve1: depends on the chipset
[09:30] <Panda200x> and I replaced it too, with a backup
[09:30] <virusa> i have a problem with compilation
[09:30] <zabi1> hey
[09:30] <xjkx> To add a printer
[09:30] <xjkx> On ubuntu
[09:30] <hydan> what's this guy using? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvYSZ6zPoac
[09:30] <jrib> Panda200x: did you run 'sudo apt-get update'?
[09:30] <xjkx> !printer
[09:31] <zabi1> has anyone ever used ndisgtk?
[09:31] <Panda200x> Oh wait
[09:31] <Panda200x> fixed
[09:31] <Panda200x> :D
[09:31] <xjkx> !cupsd
[09:31] <ubotu> Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[09:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cupsd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:31] <erUSUL> Aerotwelve1: instruction on how to install those driver are on the web site afaik
[09:31] <hydan> it's not the typical beryl configuration.
[09:31] <Aerotwelve1> wols: Well, http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/ is the link to my drivers. From what I know, they're native. They're made by Intel.
[09:31] <Panda200x> I'm getting the security updates now, thanks :D
[09:31] <zabi1> anyone ever use ndisgtkanyone ever use ndisgtk
[09:31] <logixoul> hydan: look at the god damn video title...
[09:31] <wols> Aerotwelve1: yes
[09:31] <Aerotwelve1> erUSUL: Oh? I'll check.
[09:31] <virusa>  <erUSUL> can you help me with compilation /?
[09:31] <johnficca2> ok so I tried to upgrade to the new ati driver witch was a bad idea cuz I couldn't get it to work, so I reinstalled the xorg-driver-fglrx and now I can't get the ubuntu one to work like it was before...can someone help?
[09:31] <wols> Aerotwelve1: and what is the problem you have?
[09:31] <Genomsaren> wols: you are back
[09:31] <LjL> tamgo: there is a problem in that sources.list, although it's probably not the reason why you can't find unrar. fix it, anyway: feisty-updates is enabled for main and restricted, but not for universe and multiverse. fixed version: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23776/
[09:31] <ticky> eudoxos_: i still don't understand your question. i have one SATA disk which is /dev/sdb and a IDE drive which is /dev/sda and for hte cdrom fstab has this: /dev/scd0  /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
[09:31] <Genomsaren> wols: I intalled install-essent... what shall I do now?
[09:32] <logixoul> Guys, how do I make everything that is owned by www-data readable by logixoul?
[09:32] <erUSUL> Aerotwelve1: you will need 'sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential'
[09:32] <tamgo> LjL, thanks, let me check it out
[09:32] <hydan> logixoul: yes, well, :P I didn't realize 3ddesktop was an actual program, perhaps if i'd googled.
[09:32] <wols> Genomsaren: install the -dev packages for the libs it wants
[09:32] <LjL> tamgo: as for the problem at hand, type  sudo apt-get update  and tell me if you see anything resembling an error. then type  apt-cache policy unrar 
[09:32] <qman> zabi1, tried it once, don't recommend it
[09:32] <Aerotwelve1> erUSUL: Okay, I'll try that.
[09:32] <hydan> logixoul:  but thanks for pointing it out
[09:32] <Genomsaren> wols: i cant install them wi
[09:32] <Genomsaren> wols: i cant install them with apt-get install command
[09:32] <logixoul> hydan: np :)
[09:33] <ticky> eudoxos_: but i read this in several forums. people are having trouble burning iso images bigger than 2.1GB
[09:33] <eudoxos_> ticky: misunderstanding, it was not a question. You can check ls -l /dev/scd1, I think it will be symlink to /dev/something, which is the real device. scd stands for SCSI CD (again, SCSI may actually mean also (S)ATA as well).
[09:33] <johnficca2> now the restricted drivers manager tells me my hardware dosen't need any restricted drivers, witch it dose.
[09:34] <zabi1> anyone ever use ndisgtk
[09:34] <johnficca2> what do I do
[09:34] <tamgo> LjL: I am getting an erorr, check it out: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23778/
[09:34] <a|K|a> well cdfisk had to fix that partition and now I am rocking :)
[09:34] <eudoxos_> ticky: in that case, you should file a bug if you don't get solution in the forums... I know that problem with many ubuntu forums is that people post things like "yes, I have this problem also" or "I tried ... and it worked, but I don't know what it does!"
[09:35] <LjL> tamgo: edit sources.list again and switch to another mirror (for instance, se.archive.ubuntu.com instead of us.archive.ubuntu.com)
[09:35] <ticky> eudoxos_: ls: /dev/scd1: No such file or directory
[09:35] <hagabaka> it would be nice if gdebi had a KDE/Qt UI too
[09:36] <ticky>  i might ironically end up burning the ubuntu dvds under windows
[09:36] <johnficca2> should I do a reinstall ?
[09:36] <ticky> eudoxos_:  i might ironically end up burning the ubuntu dvds under windows
[09:36] <eudoxos_> ticky: sorry, I mistyped what you have in fstab... /dev/scd0 is it.
[09:36] <ticky> eudoxos_: yes. i tried it and same thing
[09:36] <LjL> tamgo: then try sudo apt-get update again (if it works, you can then probably switch back to the US mirrors if you prefer; changing mirrors is just a trick to make apt-get work, really)
[09:36] <tamgo> LjL: change ALL us entries for se entries?
[09:37] <LjL> tamgo: yes. search&replace is your friend ;)
[09:37] <ticky> eudoxos_: well. but i have inserted a blank DVD..
[09:37] <ticky> which is not mounted
[09:37] <tamgo> LjL, yeah, just wanted to make sure. Let me give it a try...
[09:37] <eudoxos_> johnficca2: you may have X configuration backed up in /etc/X11.
[09:37] <virusa> help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
[09:37] <johnficca2> eudoxos_: what do you mean ? what should I do ?
[09:37] <eudoxos_> ticky: you cannot mount, you need raw device access fro burning. Once burned, you can mount.
[09:38] <qman> virusa, ask your question; things like "help me" or "will anyone help?" don't give us any information
[09:38] <eX|Joe> If anyone is willing to help me with the step by step process of installing webgui, i would really appreciate it!
[09:39] <ticky> eudoxos_: i have inserted another cd an it was automounted as /dev/hda
[09:39] <eudoxos_> ticky: I am probably unable to help you. Burn in under windows then and look at bugs.launchpad.net if there is bug filed. If not, do it. People will help you (hopefully)
[09:39] <tamgo> LjL, that worked, thanks!
[09:39] <erUSUL> virusa: use erUSUL: or i may miss your msgs what are you trying to compile ??
[09:39] <johnficca2> when I run fglrxinfo it says something about Mesa not ati
[09:40] <Joe_CoT> hey, I'm at an install-fest and need some help. I'm installing on a G3 PPC, using the ati driver, and I'm getting screen corruption (messed up colors and fonts). anything i can try?
[09:40] <pot> johnficca2 did you add the disable composite extention to the bottom of xorg.conf?
[09:40] <johnficca2> pot: yes

[09:41] <francescofemi> i have a problem: i rebooted my ubuntu and it gave me a grub error 5
[09:41] <pot> johnficca2 : if you're sure you did it 100% right then perhaps your card isnt supported by fglrx
[09:41] <BigToe7000> I lost the game, and so did Meglo
[09:42] <johnficca2> pot: I have a redeon x600
[09:42] <francescofemi> and now all my data is inaccessible to the computer
[09:42] <MISTERTibbs> fran
[09:42] <francescofemi> while trying to fschk it gives me an error
[09:42] <francescofemi> what do you suggest?
[09:42] <johnficca2> pot: and it was working just fine tell I tried to update to the new diver

[09:43] <SlimeyPete> froggy_: error 5 means your partition table is corrupt
[09:43] <SlimeyPete> oops
[09:43] <SlimeyPete> francescofemi: ^^
[09:43] <francescofemi> grub error 5
[09:43] <francescofemi> so what do i do?
[09:43] <eudoxos_> ticky: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_speed_up_CD.2FDVD-ROM
[09:43] <francescofemi> how can i save my data?
[09:43] <pot> johnficca2 : the installer did.   check the date.   also make sure it's fglrx as the driver in the xorg.conf and the composite extention is 0
[09:43] <froggy_> so  SlimeyPete what i can do?
[09:44] <johnficca2> pot: ok
[09:44] <SlimeyPete> froggy_: sorry, I was talking to francescofemi, not you
[09:44] <eudoxos_> ticky:  there is faster way (but will not be preserved after reboot, contrary to the first one: sudo hdparm /dev/hda -d1)
[09:44] <MISTERTibbs> parition is corrupt.  I suggest you reinstall with same partition sizes.  that should retain your data
[09:44] <froggy_> =(
[09:44] <SlimeyPete> francescofemi: try booting the livecd, see if it can mount any partitions
[09:44] <SlimeyPete> francescofemi: it may not be able to, though
[09:44] <qman> pot, in regard to johnficca2's problem, I've had the ati installer create duplicate devices instead of making the correct changes; you might want to look into that
[09:44] <pot> francescofemi : boot from live cdrom - go into terminal - type grub - type root (hd0,0) - type setup (hd0) - reboot
[09:44] <francescofemi> it can't mount my okt my old partition
[09:44] <eudoxos_> ticky:  it runs the same command, but the method described at ubuntuguide will ensure it is being done at every reboot for you.
[09:45] <johnficca2> the installer did make a backup, I just looked
[09:45] <MISTERTibbs> pot: that idea is even better than mine!  I'll have to remember it.  thank you.
[09:45] <johnficca2> didn't*
[09:45] <Aerotwelve1> Hey, can the person who told me to run  sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential contact me again?

[09:48] <Aerotwelve1> Can anyone here help me with installing these drivers? http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/ Will running the makefile set it up for me, or will I need to use ndiswrapper?
[09:48] <RedGhost> ok thanks
[09:48] <Aerotwelve1> They're native linux drivers, fyi.
[09:48] <pot> francescofemi : if you do what i explained in the grub shell it will work
[09:49] <eudoxos_> Aerotwelve1: ipw 1395 drivers are native for linux, it has nothing to do wth ndiswrapper.
[09:49] <MISTERTibbs> pot: is there a wiki or url for your method??
[09:49] <francescofemi> it gives me an error:file not found
[09:49] <eudoxos_> Aerotwelve1:  They are also included in default kernel builds for feisty and if you isntall restricted-modules package, you will get the firmware IIRC also, so everything should work out-of-box.
[09:49] <pot> MisterTibbs : it's on the grub.org docs
[09:49] <francescofemi> and if i try with hda0,1 it's an unrecognized comman

[09:54] <Ropechoborra> Is there a way to install Ubuntu without haveing a CD drive? (and without USB Boot)
[09:55] <eudoxos_> Aerotwelve1: I just looked at the driver is in feisty's kernel (2.6.20-15-generic). The modules is called ipw3945.ko. Try running "lspci  grep Intel" and "dmesg  |grep 3945", that should tell you something
[09:55] <logixoul> Ropechoborra: yes, use wubi
[09:55] <Pelo> carlos, find a music file,  right click properties,  open with ,  select xmms,   repeat for each file type
[09:55] <Ropechoborra> logixoul wubi ? whats that?
[09:55] <logixoul> Ropechoborra: http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html
[09:55] <LjL> !wubi > Ropechoborra    (Ropechoborra, see the private message from Ubotu)
[09:55] <qman> Ropechoborra, if you have a network card, you can use netboot to boot the live CD
[09:55] <Ropechoborra> Thanks! =)
[09:56] <logixoul> Ropechoborra: on the other hand, if you don't use Windows, you can use a VM like VMWare to emulate the install CD iso
[09:56] <logixoul> np
[09:56] <LjL> Ropechoborra: that requires a Windows installation, however.
[09:56] <pot> carlos : Wubi installs over Windows - so you're still using NTFS filesystem as the base, correct?
[09:56] <francescofemi> partition table invalid or corrupt: what does it mean?
[09:56] <agent> How do I make X register the "menu" key on a Thinkpad? xev does not show the correct keycode and there does not seem to be a working keyboard layout.
[09:56] <carlos> Pelo, ups thanks that I did it already, now I want to set xmms as my predeterminated player, it was amarok before
[09:56] <qman> francescofemi, it means exactly what it says, your partition table is corrupt
[09:57] <carlos> Pelo, with my keyboard
[09:57] <logixoul> pot: why ask carlos?
[09:57] <Aerotwelve1> eudoxos_: Hmm, those didn't seem to do much. Typing in the lspci brings up the standard syntax  helper screen, and the dmesg |grep command just yielded a blank screen. Any thoughts?
[09:57] <Pelo> carlos, try in  menu > system > prefs > removable media, and favorite apps
[09:57] <Ropechoborra> I do need the .iso file with Wubi, dont i ?

[09:57] <Pelo> carlos, with the keyboard taht would probably involve a keybaord short cut,   check in the forum
[09:58] <francescofemi> so what can i do?
[09:58] <logixoul> Ropechoborra: wubi downloads the necessary data.
[09:58] <carlos> logixoul, ok sorry, I will try it the best way the next time
[09:58] <eudoxos_> Aerotwelve1:  just type "lspci", it should list your PCI devices...?
[09:58] <francescofemi> havehave i got any chance of recuperating my data?
[09:58] <Ropechoborra> Uhmm.. but if i dont got internet?
[09:58] <francescofemi> or should i just format?
[09:58] <Aerotwelve1> eudoxos_: Yep, that works. Do you want the output?
[09:58] <MISTERTibbs> francesco your data is still there don't be quick to reformat
[09:59] <ScottAS> Can someone kindly aid me with the installation of a NETGEAR WG511 V2 Wi-Fi Adapter?
[09:59] <logixoul> pot: afaik wubi makes ubuntu use a file (located on a ntfs/fat partition) that acts as a virtual ext3 partition

[09:59] <Pelo> francescofemi, then your data is gone
[09:59] <francescofemi> and i remember having 3 partitions on m,y sda disk
[10:00] <MISTERTibbs> ubotu
[10:00] <qman> francescofemi, if you've done anything to the drive since that happened, recovery is extremely unlikely to be possible with mere software
[10:00] <francescofemi> only now the partitionner recognizes only one partition, and it is unallocated space
[10:00] <Pelo> francescofemi,  if you had your /home folder on a seperate partition then the one ubuntu was installed on you just need to mount it again to recover your data, if your data was on the same partition as ubuntu the data is gone
[10:00] <eudoxos_> Aerotwelve1:  paste it somewhere.
[10:00] <Aerotwelve1> eudoxos_: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23780/ Thats my lspci output, it has alot of lines with Intel in it.
[10:00] <francescofemi> if i teke out the disk and link it as usb, is there a possibility of saving data?
[10:01] <qman> francescofemi, that won't help

[10:03] <kalon33> phy
[10:03] <LjL> lockd et al, maybe if the partition table is corrupt, but the filesystem itself is still intact under the hoods, a tool like testdisk - which just tries to reconstruct the partition table - would be best to try first. then photorec, magicrescue or foremost (which i just discovered)
[10:03] <kalon33> *hello
[10:03] <lockd> supposing both actually work - I have only had luck with qemu
[10:03] <eudoxos_> Aerotwelve1: that device is not supported, hence you will need to do that nediswrapper hell.
[10:03] <pot> lockd : vmware server has problems with feisty... but there is a work-around
[10:03] <LjL> lockd: vmware mostly. qemu is free, on the other hand.

[10:04] <lockd> I tried the workaround, and bleh - it built the modules but Windows bugged out the instant it booted
[10:04] <eudoxos_> Aerotwelve1: it works well for some people though; search the web, there is plenty of ndsiwrapper and feisty howtos I bet.

[10:11] <magnetron> lockd: your "optimal" setup seems like checking the email with a calculator and a paper clip
[10:12] <mirak> erUSUL: ah
[10:12] <soyporti> MISTERTibbs: how can i fix it?
[10:12] <Ropechoborra> !paste
[10:12] <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)
[10:12] <magnetron> what is a good war dialer for linux?
[10:12] <soyporti> MISTERTibbs: i don't understand MBR??
[10:12] <MISTERTibbs> MASTER BOOT RECORD
[10:12] <soyporti> what is the meaning of MBR?
[10:12] <lockd> magnetron: nobody has made a better solution, unlike your false analogy.. two setups to keep update are a paid
[10:13] <soyporti> can i fix that?
[10:13] <MISTERTibbs> here's what I did: reinstall ubuntu with a small #1 partition for the boot record
[10:13] <MISTERTibbs> then installed remainder of ubuntu with standard partitions
[10:13] <Flannel> soyporti: How have you partitioned your disks?
[10:13] <qman> yeah, I usually do a 64MB ext2 partition mounted as /boot
[10:14] <kalon33> !MBR | soyporti
[10:14] <ubotu> soyporti: 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
[10:14] <MISTERTibbs> soyporti: are you dual booting????
[10:14] <soyporti> Flannel: i have a NTFS and a swap an a home and /
[10:14] <soyporti> ??
[10:14] <soyporti> i have windows and ubuntu
[10:14] <MISTERTibbs> ubuntu and windoze???
[10:15] <soyporti> yes my sister use w2
[10:15] <soyporti> is not my computer
[10:15] <virusavirusa> do u know any channel about hacking from ubuntu ?
[10:15] <MISTERTibbs> BE VERY CAREFUL GRASSHOPPER!
[10:15] <Flannel> !caps | MISTERTibbs
[10:15] <ubotu> MISTERTibbs: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[10:15] <MISTERTibbs> 1st! defrag windoze.  2 times
[10:16] <magnetron> virusavirusa: general linux hacking skills apply to Ubuntu too
[10:16] <Flannel> virusavirusa: depends on your question.  If it's re: installing/using compilers and such, this will be it.  If it's language specific, freenode has a plethora of language specific channels.
[10:16] <soyporti> it doesn't start
[10:16] <virusavirusa> ok
[10:16] <roryy> soyporti: do you have a ubuntu live CD ?  It would be helpful to diagnose your problem
[10:16] <virusavirusa> dou know any channel about hacking from linux ?
[10:17] <Megadeus> What do I need to do if wpa_supplicant fails to connect to my wireless network on Ubuntu 6.06?
[10:17] <Flannel> !wifi | Megadeus
[10:17] <ubotu> Megadeus: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[10:17] <magnetron> virusavirusa: i know some, but they will flame you. you should read up on the subject in matter
[10:17] <d2812> does anyone know how to map non-standard keyboard keys to actions?
[10:18] <perlmonkey> hi guys
[10:18] <perlmonkey> does anyone know the procedure for deleting raids?
[10:18] <kalon33> d2812: you want to configure some of your keyboard keys with computer actions ?
[10:18] <Megadeus> Flannel: I've tried those. I've had the most luck with this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo, but I've hit a wall.
[10:18] <magnetron> perlmonkey: delete in what sense?
[10:19] <Flannel> !away >> Zvezdichko`sl33p
[10:19] <Burgundavia> virusavirusa: what exactly were you asking about?
[10:19] <_Codeman_> Can someone, please, help me figure out why I can't get internet on my xubuntu system through my kubuntu system
[10:20] <mc44> Flannel: just appending that message ?:)
[10:20] <Robbe> hi, does anyone know a good cms that could have it's fora over several subdomains, and allows digg like posting ?
[10:20] <d2812> kalon33: thats right, I have a couple of keys at the top of the keyboard, like an envelope etc, i like to map that key to something like"firefox http://mail.google.com"
[10:20] <Zvezdichko`sl33p> hmm, what was that supposed o be Flannel ?
[10:20] <perlmonkey> magnetron: make it so mdadm doesn't show it on --detail
[10:20] <linux_probe> oyy, holds head
[10:20] <Flannel> !away > Zvezdichko`sl33p
[10:20] <wols> _Codeman_: is your kubuntu doing NAT?
[10:20] <_Codeman_> wols: I think that's what I did in iptables last night...
[10:21] <Zvezdichko`sl33p> ok, thank you, turning back to my regular nick and using away
[10:21] <_Codeman_> !away >> _Codeman_
[10:21] <qman> !away | qman
[10:21] <kalon33> d2812: I know how to configure some of your computer actions, but I don't know how to personalize it
[10:22] <wols> _Codeman_: don't use a homwgrown nat setup without a clue. run ipmasq
[10:22] <sx66> beryl crashed my HDD
[10:22] <kalon33> Flannel: do you know how to personalize action keys of your keyboard ?
[10:22] <_Codeman_> wols: I got that info from here so that's what I used... thanks for clearing that up for me tho :D
[10:23] <d2812> kalon33: If you know how to find out what the registers as, that would be a great help.  a couple of them already work, like the padlock one locks the screen.
[10:23] <qman> sx66, that's almost impossible...please explain in more detail what happened
[10:23] <d2812> kalon33: but in keyboad shortcuts in gnome thats still ctrl + alt + L
[10:23] <aliasrush> why the hell does the cache in gnome open system monitor show my computer taking up so much memory?
[10:23] <idefixx> sx66: very unlikely, if your hd died it probaly coinsidental.
[10:23] <wols> _Codeman_: does your client box have an IP? you either need to run a dhcp server or assign static ips
[10:24] <qman> aliasrush, the system uses all "free" memory as disk cache whenever possible; this is normal
[10:24] <cottima> have a q, how easy is it to upgrade from one version to another, such as Ubuntu 5.19 to 7.04?
[10:24] <lezi_guy> hey guys bash command to make beryl default with booting?
[10:24] <_Codeman_> wols: my router wont pass one through this computer?
[10:24] <aliasrush> ok.... so I can access things faster, qman?
[10:24] <qman> aliasrush, it will dynamically reduce the amount used as disk cache when other things need more memory
[10:25] <wols> _Codeman_: no. you don't really want a double nat if you already have a router
[10:25] <wols> you need bridging then
[10:25] <aliasrush> cool
[10:25] <lezi_guy> anyone ?
[10:25] <_Codeman_> wols: Yes! lol
[10:25] <wols> _Codeman_: tho double nat does work. it's just ugly
[10:25] <kalon33> d2812: there's a program named hotkeys, installable from synaptic, it may help you
[10:25] <qman> aliasrush, when you're trying to figure out what's in use, consider the memory used as disk cache to be unused
[10:25] <_Codeman_> wols: bridging is what I want tho :P
[10:25] <d2812> kalon33: Cheers, I'll try that.
[10:26] <lezi_guy> bash command to make beryl loading by default?
[10:26] <wols> _Codeman_: bridgeutils
[10:26] <hector> how configure nvidia drivers?
[10:26] <kalon33> d2812: it seems to complete the action of the already installed (because by default) hotkey-setup
[10:26] <Luxurious_> Following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper, doing "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" gives me "FATAL: Error inserting ndiswrapper (/lib/modules/2.6.17-11-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper.ko): Invalid argument.
[10:26] <dad> will this distro suport belkin usb wifi?
[10:26] <kalon33> d2812: you're welcome
[10:27] <_Codeman_> wols: Thanks :D
[10:27] <qman> hector, install them with "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx", configure them with "nvidia-xconfig", then restart X for changes to take effect
[10:27] <wols> bridge your two interfaces, assign the bridge an IP via dhcp and then your client will get one via dhcp too since it's in the same network. and of course enale ip_forwarding
[10:27] <livingdaylight> i downloaded the kubuntu.zip for vmware http://isv-image.ubuntu.com/vmware/ but now it turns out it is Fedora 5???
[10:27] <lezi_guy> lol
[10:27] <dad> will this distro suport belkin usb wifi?
[10:28] <livingdaylight> anyway, it boots up and i don't know what login name and password to submit. Anyone know what the protocol is?
[10:28] <pot> dad yes
[10:28] <qman> dad, hardware support is not distro specific; if a kernel module exists, it's supported, and many are supported via ndiswrapper
[10:29] <lezi_guy> hello
[10:29] <ompaul> livingdaylight, #fedora might
[10:29] <dad> thnx
[10:29] <lezi_guy> your welcome
[10:29] <livingdaylight> ompaul, ok, thx
[10:30] <_Codeman_> wols: I've installed bridge-utils, how do I use it?
[10:30] <g_zoli> hello
[10:31] <wols> read the docs. don't remeber offhand how
[10:31] <mc44> Luxurious_: did you install the driver?
[10:31] <liquiddoom> How do I get apt-cache to show ALL installed packages?
[10:31] <jrib> lezi_guy: why do you need a bash command?
[10:31] <liquiddoom> I can only seem to get it to show statuses of single packages
[10:31] <Luxurious_> Luxurious_: I did do an -i on the .inf file, mc44, yes.
[10:31] <jrib> liquiddoom: aptitude search '~i'   is easier
[10:31] <g_zoli> Sorry I don't speek good english...
[10:31] <mc44> Luxurious_: what does "ndiswrapper -l" say?
[10:32] <Luxurious_> driver present, hardware present
[10:32] <livingdaylight> ompaul, i thought there might be a standard way of loging in to os's using vmware. (its my first time using it)
[10:32] <Megadeus> do I need to remove the wireless entry from /etc/devices/network in order to make Network Manager recognize it?
[10:32] <g_zoli> Pls. help my
[10:32] <liquiddoom> jrib: Problem is, dist-upgrade is running in the background
[10:32] <mc44> Luxurious_: you are on edgy?
[10:32] <qman> Luxurious_, then modprobe ndiswrapper should do it
[10:32] <g_zoli> I want upgrade my Kubuntu6.10 to ubuntu 7.10
[10:32] <ompaul> livingdaylight, well given that vmware is not ubuntu this may not be the place to ask
[10:32] <liquiddoom> jrib: My dad randomly decided to dist-upgrade without telling me... so I'm trying to make a list of what packages were on there incase the upgrade removes any
[10:32] <Luxurious_> mc44: yes.
[10:32] <g_zoli> can I upgrade with Ubuntu live Cd
[10:33] <Luxurious_> qman: It doesn't that's my problem.
[10:33] <livingdaylight> ompaul, ohh.. :S
[10:33] <qman> g_zoli, do you mean 7.04?
[10:33] <mc44> Luxurious_: ok try "sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.8"
[10:33] <kalon33> Megadeus: go in System>Administration>Network and pass your device in automatic mode
[10:33] <Luxurious_> mc44: They're already there.
[10:33] <liquiddoom> jrib: Hey, it worked anyways. Thanks!
[10:33] <roryy> g_zoli: i believe that you need the alternate (i.e., not live ) CD for upgrading
[10:33] <g_zoli> qman: yes...
[10:33] <Flannel> Luxurious_: dpkg -L
[10:33] <Flannel> liquiddoom: dpkg -L
[10:34] <Flannel> liquiddoom: er, -l (lowercase)
[10:34] <qman> g_zoli, if it can be done, it would be done with the alternate install CD
[10:34] <g_zoli> alternate? ok!
[10:34] <Luxurious_> mc44: Weird, huh?
[10:34] <mc44> Luxurious_: ok try this, first make a backup of the file "sudo mv /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper_back"
[10:34] <CheshireViking> !upgrade | g_zoli
[10:34] <ubotu> g_zoli: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[10:34] <Flannel> g_zoli: you can upgrade with the alternate CD.  Of course, you'll still have some packages to download (stuff that won't be on the CD)
[10:34] <askand> Is their some kind of database I can check if my hardware is supported in ubuntu?
[10:35] <Luxurious_> mc44: Done.
[10:35] <mc44> Luxurious_: ok now "sudo cp /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper-1.8 /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper"
[10:35] <CheshireViking> !hardware > askand
[10:35] <eamonn> askand, the easiest way to check if your hardware is compatible is to try the live CD.
[10:36] <Luxurious_> mc44: That's extremely odd.  I get "ndiswrapper-1.1", but no "ndiswrapper-1.8"
[10:36] <kafran> some one have Torrent Leech invites?
[10:36] <mc44> Luxurious_: er... what?
[10:36] <askand> eamonn: yeah but im thinking of bying a new cam and want too know if its supported
[10:36] <mc44> Luxurious_: when do you get that?
[10:36] <Luxurious_> mc44: I'm just as surprised
[10:36] <kafran> or some an other Torrent tracker?
[10:36] <eamonn> askand, ah, in the case: google it.
[10:36] <Luxurious_> mc44: autocompletion in /usr/sbin/ndis...
[10:36] <LjL> !offtopic | kafran
[10:36] <ubotu> kafran: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[10:37] <Megadeus> Kalon33: I'm not seeing any option for automatic mode.
[10:37] <kafran> LjL: :$
[10:37] <mc44> Luxurious_: 1.8 isn't there at all?
[10:37] <Luxurious_> mc44: I'm so sorryh.
[10:37] <Luxurious_> mc44: Seems I installed 1.1 utils accidentally instead of 1.8.
[10:37] <mc44> Luxurious_: heh
[10:38] <mc44> Luxurious_: ok do "sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.8" then "sudo cp /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper-1.8 /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper"
[10:39] <preem_>  Error when calling the metaclass bases
[10:39] <preem_>     unbound method contribute_to_class() must be called with EmailField instance as first argument (got ModelBase instance instead)
[10:39] <Luxurious_> mc44: Okay, that's done.
[10:39] <preem_> :o what exatcly does that mean ?
[10:39] <askand> CheshireViking: can you please help me see if Logitech Quickcam Express is supported..there is like three of them? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCamerasLogitech
[10:39] <mc44> Luxurious_: ok, just "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper"
[10:39] <Luxurious_> mc44: It worked, thanks a bunch!!
[10:39] <kalon33> Megadeus: roaming mode so ?
[10:39] <mc44> Luxurious_: np
[10:39] <DigitalisAkujin> I'm trying to install Ubuntu on an HP DV9000Z laptop. During LiveCD boot I get errors followed by the startup process getting 'stuck'. How would I go about debugging this?
[10:40] <kalon33> (mine is in french so I don't remember the original english term)
[10:40] <Luxurious_> mc44: Really, I really really enormously appreciate it :-)
[10:40] <Luxurious_> Gotta run for dinner
[10:40] <Luxurious_> Thanks a lot, again.
[10:40] <Luxurious_> CIao
[10:40] <Megadeus> No, the only options are "properties," "activate," and "deactivate"
[10:40] <g_zoli>  Rorryy pls :I can with alternate- install my setting and my folder to preserv? (kubuntu to Ubuntu)
[10:40] <CheshireViking> askand, looking at that page, it looks like most are supported, although there is some work compiling drivers
[10:41] <Megadeus> And clicking Properties takes it into a configuration screen that doesn't have "roaming" or "automatic," either
[10:41] <roryy> g_zoli: i'm not quite following you there
[10:41] <[-frost-] `linux> How do I use Beryl in Fiesty Fawn?
[10:42] <sldkfj> I'm trying to add fonts and can't get them to register    (7.)
[10:42] <sldkfj> 7.04
[10:42] <roryy> g_zoli: you currently have kubuntu installed, and you want to change to ubuntu? (i.e., 'gnome' ubuntu)
[10:42] <g_zoli> rorry : yes
[10:43] <g_zoli> but my net -connect is very slow
[10:43] <roryy> g_zoli: i don't know for sure, but I don't think that you can easily 'cross-upgrade' from kubuntu 6.10 to ubuntu 7.04 using only the alternate cd
[10:45] <askand> Does anyone knows if this cam is supported in ubuntu? http://i.pricerunner.com/prod/12_14_0_4_560609l/X8_Toy_Webcamera_Hamster.jpeg
[10:45] <OzZY85> hey people, I am trying to install Ubuntu and it gets stuck on "Configuring network interfaces"
[10:45] <OzZY85> any suggestions?
[10:45] <Tiradin> I have an external hard drive connected to my PC through USB, how do I get Ubuntu to recognize it?
[10:45] <roryy> g_zoli: there is a kubuntu alternate CD too, which might be helpful
[10:46] <roryy> g_zoli: just to check: you don't have a fast internet connection?
[10:46] <Megadeus> does wireless "just work" in any other version of ubuntu? I'm pulling my hair out trying to get it to work on 6.06
[10:46] <g_zoli> I don't ...
[10:46] <kalon33> Megadeus: choose your device in the window, click properties and in the next window check the box on the top left
[10:47] <roryy> g_zoli: hm.  have you downloaded any CDs yet ?
[10:47] <Megadeus> Kalon: okay, I've enabled the device.
[10:47] <OzZY85> can someone pm for help regarding installing Ubuntu
[10:47] <Tiradin> I have an external hard drive connected to my PC through USB, how do I get Ubuntu to recognize it?
[10:47] <g_zoli> roryy : yes I have 1 alternate and 1 live ubuntu 7.04 Cd
[10:48] <OzZY85> wow, out these million users connected no one will help
[10:48] <OzZY85> whats the point of this channel again?
[10:49] <roryy> g_zoli: do you perhaps have the ubuntu 6.10 alternate cd?
[10:49] <g_zoli> rorry: without adsl can I not upgrade?
[10:49] <roryy> g_zoli: well, I downloaded the ubuntu alternate CD
[10:50] <roryy> g_zoli: i'm on dial-up (56k)
[10:50] <Megadeus> Ozzy: you attract more flies with sugar than vinegar.
[10:50] <azzamat> no matter what video app i'm using, they all crash (without error messages) in my default feisty install ... what's up with that?
[10:50] <Megadeus> Also, ask a more specific question.
[10:50] <ScottAS> pot: Having followed the instructions, I can't get it working Re: NETGEAR WG511 V2 Wi-Fi Adapter.
[10:50] <OzZY85> u're correct
[10:50] <Ireclan> Anyone have experience with playing FLV files?
[10:50] <OzZY85> excuse my anger
[10:51] <Mach3> i dualboot windows and kubuntu.  everytime i boot ubuntu and then go back to windows, the time in windows is 4 or 5 hours off.  My time zone is set correctly in both OSs.  so, any ideas how to fix this?
[10:51] <roryy> g_zoli: it took about 30 hours (!).  If you have the patience, and it's affordable, i'd recommend downloading the kubuntu alternate CD
[10:51] <ditoa> UTC problem maybe Mach3 ?
[10:51] <roryy> g_zoli: otherwise it might be easiest to back up your personal data and do a clean install of ubuntu
[10:51] <g_zoli> I have Kubuntu alternate
[10:51] <roryy> ah-ha
[10:51] <ditoa> ubuntu uses UTC offset whereas windows uses GMT offset so that might screw things a bit?
[10:51] <OzZY85> I am installing Ubuntu by live booting it, it gets stuck on "Configuring network interfaces", tried pressing Ctrl-C no use
[10:52] <roryy> g_zoli: great.  have you read the upgrade instructions on the wiki?
[10:52] <OzZY85> been like that for a good 30 mins
[10:52] <Megadeus> Does it do this every time?
[10:52] <azzamat> Ireclan, you should be able to use VLC for those
[10:52] <OzZY85> yes
[10:52] <g_zoli> yes
[10:52] <endo2016> can anyone tell me why my shell's background text color for directories changes based on the mount point I am viewing?
[10:52] <david_> Hola
[10:52] <ditoa> anyone got a decent transcoding app for the xbox 360 that runs on ubuntu?
[10:53] <Megadeus> have you tried with your interfaces both plugged and unplugged?
[10:53] <OzZY85> u mean physically removing my wireless card?
[10:53] <Mach3> ditoa: UTC? i dont know... is there something i should check?
[10:53] <david_> Alguien habla en castellano?
[10:53] <david_> O en Espaol?
[10:53] <Megadeus> You probably shouldn't have to resort to that.

[10:53] <g_zoli> but I want ubuntu .... in wiki was ubuntu to new ubuntu...
[10:54] <OzZY85> how do i remove interfaces, i am not sure what that means
[10:54] <firefly2442> I only get sound from one speaker, is this an issue with alsamixer?
[10:54] <g_zoli> I see the menu of Alternate Ubuntu 7.02
[10:54] <g_zoli> in lines:
[10:54] <Megadeus> hrm. I'm not the most knowledgeable. Have you posted your problem to the ubuntu forums?
[10:54] <roryy> g_zoli: at the bottom of this page -- http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading  -- there are instructions for using the alternate CD with kubuntu
[10:55] <Keneo> hello, I'm using a python script that uses mpeg_stat, but I can't find a place to get mpeg_stat, in hoary it was in ucbmpeg, but ucbmpeg has no installable candidate, so, how can I get it?
[10:55] <OzZY85> nope, i've seen ppl with similar problems there, but with no responses
[10:55] <roryy> g_zoli: unfortunately you need to install gksu for that to work
[10:55] <azzamat> Mach3, don't both OS get their time from the BIOS? maybe ubuntu is messing with it, in which case you could try and sync your time in windows from the net
[10:55] <OzZY85> i'll try some other channels
[10:55] <OzZY85> thanks though

[10:59] <DigitalisAkujin> Question, XFS or EXT3 ?
[10:59] <pirroh> I've to upgrade from a dapper minimal to feisty/gutsy server...
[10:59] <DigitalisAkujin> What's better?
[10:59] <DVS01> are there any good graphical visualization applications designed specifically for people under the influence of LSD or Psilosybin or other hallucinogens?
[10:59] <DVS01> beryl's pretty good for that, but i want more
[10:59] <Bloodstorm> digital: EXT3
[10:59] <eamonn> pirroh, no, same repositories for both desktop and server.
[10:59] <Keneo> eamonn: dpglinux is the pythonscript I want to run, thx, I'l read that page :)
[10:59] <kalon33> pirroh: no
[11:00] <av16ar> hello

[11:00] <Bloodstorm> dvs01, contact me if you found something more cooler then beryl3
[11:00] <Bloodstorm> 3d *
[11:00] <pirroh> eamonn: considering that the footprint on hdd of the server version is 500mb... and my minimal dapper is 250, are there some metapackages that I can install to get an actual server version?
[11:00] <azzamat> Tiradin, try to mount it as a vfat drive, then (sorry, don't know the exact command, i'm sure google does)
[11:00] <DigitalisAkujin> Bloodstorm why?
[11:01] <Bloodstorm> cause ext3 ownz man
[11:01] <DigitalisAkujin> .....
[11:01] <DigitalisAkujin> that's not good enough
[11:01] <DVS01> Bloodstorm: trying to find an xmmp/audacious plugin thats equivalent to winamp's milkdrop
[11:01] <av16ar> I'm searching a text editor able to make a search in several files. Does anybody know any one?
[11:01] <Rastan> hello
[11:01] <pirroh> (I've bought a vps with 6.06 minimal, and I'm trying to get a fresh server install... as much as it is possible without using an iso image :))
[11:01] <Bloodstorm> what prog makes me burn 4x on cd's?
[11:01] <Lacerta> something switches my wlan0 to "managed" every two minutes after which i lose connection! I need it to remain "ad-hoc"
[11:02] <jose__> fjkds\
[11:02] <jose__> dfj
[11:02] <preem_> is it safe to install python2.4-mysqldb_1.2.2 on dapper ?
[11:02] <preem_> pacgake from debian
[11:02] <preem_> its older in dapper repo
[11:02] <kalon33> pirroh: just change dapper references in the sources.list to feisty ones
[11:02] <azzamat> DVS01, have a look for 'projectM'
[11:02] <DVS01> will do
[11:02] <fuzzy_logic> where can i find the linux source? i get the following error message when trying to install something: Makefile:73: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR=<directory> and run Make again..  Stop.
[11:02] <GenNMX> Is there an easy way just to copy all partitions from one HDD to another?
[11:02] <pirroh> kalon: yes, but I guess that minimal install differs from server install
[11:03] <PhantasyHawk> I need to make a launcher to start a wine application, but the program can only be run as root.  Can someone tell me how to go about this?
[11:03] <kalon33> fuzzy_logic: install linux-headers-*** (386 or generic, like your kernel version)
[11:03] <DVS01> azzamat: oo nice
[11:03] <Bloodstorm> what prog makes me burn 4x on cd's?
[11:03] <Bloodstorm> the speed 4x
[11:03] <aaa`> hello, I am trying to install from source but I don't understand a few things...say I DL the tarball to my home directory, then unpack it there, configure, make, and install...at what location does the program now exist?
[11:03] <fuzzy_logic> kalon33: thanks will try that
[11:03] <tier> hi anyone a vaio s1xp? i still have no opengl :-(
[11:03] <jmantra> PhantasyHawk: in the command of field of the launcher make type gksudo in front of the command
[11:03] <fb> hi! my .xinitrc isn#t started at startup. how? what? why?
[11:03] <kalon33> pirroh: it will not install more packages, but update the ones which are installed
[11:04] <Tiradin> This is quite confusing.
[11:04] <DigitalisAkujin> Is there a driver disk floating around somewhere? Ubuntu has that option listed for installing with driver CD but I haven't seen a driver CD anywhere.
[11:04] <azzamat> aaa`, you should first move the tarball to /usr/local, that's where everything goes that you compile yourself
[11:04] <pirroh> kalon33: that's what I was trying to avoid
[11:04] <DVS01> azzamat: is there a way to replace xmms's file selector window to something different? perhaps have it use whatever the window manager uses? xmms's default is a serious pain in the ass due to its apparent weak support for keyboard interaction
[11:04] <fb> i just want xbindkeys to start when X starts. how do i do that?
[11:04] <endo2016> can anyone tell me why my shell's background text color for directories changes based on the mount point I am viewing?
[11:04] <jrib> !startup > fb (see the private message from ubotu)
[11:04] <aaa`> azzamat: thanks a ton, that's the exact info I was looking for
[11:04] <g_zoli> rorry:
[11:04] <g_zoli> what do you think, can I up-date a Kubuntu Kde by Ubuntu Alternate without losing any data or settings?
[11:04] <PhantasyHawk> jmantra: Works perfectly, thank you
[11:05] <DVS01> is there a network-based bookmark integrator? i want all the pcs on my network to share a single bookmark repository. i use firefox across the board, so that should make it a bit easier
[11:05] <kalon33> pirroh: it should only install updated versions, nothing else
[11:05] <g_zoli> #ubuntu-hu
[11:05] <jetscreamer> how do you get the installer to install w/o 'formatting' /
[11:05] <dredhammer> hello how do i add a line to /etc/ld.so.conf ? i have tried and tried but when compiling i still have to type sudo ldconfig for it to take effect
 never
[11:06] <Bloodstorm> jetscreamer, never
[11:06] <kalon33> pirroh: maybe the updated packages depedencies but not more
[11:06] <Bloodstorm> that would corrupt your whole HD
[11:06] <jmantra> Well DV501 you could do it several either using NFS, samba, or NIS
[11:06] <aaa`> azzamat: I tried to Dl the tarball to usr/local but Ubuntu told me I couldn't change the contents of that folder
[11:06] <jetscreamer> Bloodstorm: you're saying i can't install to a pre-existing fs?
[11:06] <Luxurious_> Now, I'm able to connect to the internet using ndiswrapper.  Is there a known problem where your connection gets about 10 times slower than it should be?
[11:06] <pirroh> kalon33: yes, fair enough I gotta say :)
[11:06] <pirroh> thank you
[11:06] <danielle> How do I go about putting movies on my Video Ipod??
[11:06] <Bloodstorm> oh
[11:06] <Bloodstorm> jet screamer
[11:06] <jrib> !ipod > danielle (see the private message from ubotu)
[11:06] <DVS01> jmantra: got any urls i can check out for that?
[11:06] <Bloodstorm> no sorry, can't help any further
[11:07] <azzamat> aaa`, you have to be root to do that (use sudo to move your tarball to /usr/local)
[11:07] <danielle> jrib, Thank you!
[11:07] <jmantra> hold DVS01
[11:07] <hydan> how would go about recording my computer game's framerate, the system's resources and such similar things?
[11:07] <DVS01> thanks
[11:07] <kalon33> pirroh: you're welcome
[11:07] <firefly2442> I only get sound from one speaker, is this an issue with alsamixer?
[11:08] <jetscreamer> how do you get the installer to install / to a pre-existing filesystem and not 'format' the partition
[11:08] <Keneo> eamonn: got a link to mpeg_stat, and got it to work
[11:08] <Keneo> thx :)
[11:08] <preem_> how does one install .egg file ?
[11:08] <kalon33> jetscreamer: you can't, it's a severe risk to do that
[11:09] <wimdows> hi peeps - where on earth does subversion server install to? I want to edit passwd file etc... "which subversion" doesn't give me anything
[11:09] <eamonn> pirroh, sorry, took me a while to track this down, but the most important metapackage I can find on the server version is linux-server. You would think that should be called ubuntu-server, but no...
[11:09] <jmantra> here DVS01 try this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSambaPDC
[11:10] <eamonn> wimdows, try which svn.
[11:11] <eamonn> windows, and the configuration information for subversion is in /etc/subversion
[11:11] <Luxurious_> Hot dam, ndiswrapper is really damn slow for me.  Is there a known cause for such a thing?
[11:11] <Luxurious_> *damn
[11:11] <dredhammer> how do i add a line to ld.so.conf is there some special syntax required?
[11:11] <wimdows> eamonn - cheers, hmm - yeah that seems to come back with usr/bin/svn which is the executable, the config files must reside elsewhere
[11:11] <tier_> hello, anyone an idea where i can get help installing opengl on this gay-fuck-schmock vaio s1xp?
[11:11] <jetscreamer> kalon33: it should be possible somehow.
[11:11] <aaa`> how do you exist a man page?
[11:11] <aaa`> I mean exit
[11:11] <jetscreamer> you could try rtfm.com tier_
[11:11] <azzamat> aaa`, with "q"
[11:12] <jetscreamer> aaa`: what he said
[11:12] <eamonn> wimdows, that's in /etc/subversion
[11:12] <jetscreamer> is that tier_ like on star trek with capt kirk?
[11:12] <jetscreamer> !depmod
[11:13] <tier_> i didnt know that there is a tier on startreck.
[11:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about depmod - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:13] <jetscreamer> it was a title.. when mcoy became a 'father'
[11:13] <jetscreamer> tee-air
[11:14] <GarryFre> tier_ Ok, I know you are frustrated. OpenGL comes as part of linuxes that use graphics. Are you saying, you have no graphical interface or are you saying you need to install drivers for your card to support the OpenGL?
[11:14] <tier_> nno, its german, because i am such an ugly guy
[11:14] <LazyAngel> how do i install ubuntu with software raid (md or dm raid) enabled? Its important since the /data partition isnt recognised the ordinary way...
[11:14] <jetscreamer> ati or nvidia
[11:14] <wimdows> eamonn - cheers, that points me to the config file - where do I setup individual accounts - do I need to create some other file?
[11:14] <jetscreamer> ?
[11:14] <jetscreamer> ati or nvidia, tier_
[11:15] <GLACIER> HI
[11:15] <tier_> i have no problems installing opengl with ati or nvidia only on this shit vaio s1xp i doesnt work
[11:15] <jetscreamer> ah
[11:15] <tier_> i need to find a usrer having done this allready
[11:15] <GLACIER> HDFGFD
[11:15] <GLACIER> KKK
[11:15] <wimdows> LazyAngel - as far as I understood, you simpy use mdadm again and specify your array
[11:16] <tier_> it ha a 9600/9700 M10 RV350
[11:16] <LazyAngel> wimdows: when i boot the livecd its not detected. So i need to enable it somehow before booting the livecd...
[11:16] <kalon33> hello sacater
[11:16] <eamonn> wimdows, you should probably have a read through the subversion book (it's online and there's a quick start). You create the passwd file in /etc/subversion using htpasswd (htpasswd -c /etc/subversion/passwd username). But that's only the start...
[11:17] <GarryFre> What version of ubuntu you trying to get it to work with teir_?
[11:17] <aaa`> azzamat: okay, so I've moved my tarball into /usr/local/ ... now I just do my configure, make, install right there?
[11:17] <LazyAngel> wimdows: or do an alternate installation. think i have done that before. but cant remember how i managed to come to that textbased menu
[11:17] <ninjabob7> i can't compile nqc on feisty! error message at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23790/
[11:17] <wimdows> ok - thanks eamonn
[11:17] <DVS01> jmantra: thanks
[11:17] <tier_> i tried, faisty fawn, dapper drake, edgy, even opensuse 10.2
[11:18] <eamonn> wimdows, there's a *lot* of different ways to set up users on subversion. I use apache2 to serve through http/https. There's also a subversion server, which is completely different.
[11:18] <GarryFre> Ok, hmm, that would b e frustrating.
[11:18] <wimdows> eamonn - yes, I want to use the svn:// protocol - (svnserve -d) and not serve over Apache
[11:18] <LazyAngel> anyone knows how to start the textbased installation? I need it to start mdadm (raid)
[11:18] <preem_> anybody knows of python-mysqldb newest version package ?
[11:19] <preem_> rly need it, its too old in repo :s
[11:19] <tier_> all other devices work perfect. i love ubuntu.
[11:19] <wimdows> LazyAngel - i thought one of the options on the live CD is text based installer...
[11:19] <LazyAngel> nope. just safe graphics mode
[11:19] <wimdows> hmm
[11:19] <DVS01> azzamat: projectm up and running. thanks =D
[11:20] <tier_> i only want this opengl because i want to impress windows user with this cool machine.
[11:20] <kalon33> LazyAngel: it's an option in the alternate install cd
[11:20] <aaa`> are there any sites with information about what are the purpose of the many different directories in Unix?
[11:20] <DVS01> aaa`: yes, ill get you the url in a sec
[11:20] <LazyAngel> kalon33: alternate cd? so i have downloaded wrong cd?
[11:20] <DVS01> aaa`: http://tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/index.html
[11:21] <kalon33> there are 2 cds : the desktop one and the alternate one
[11:21] <GarryFre> Heres something that might hel youteir_ http://felipe-alfaro.org/blog/2006/09/06/ubuntu-edgy-ati-fglrx-dri-3d-acceleration-and-xorg-composite-extension/
[11:21] <kalon33> with different installation modes
[11:21] <DVS01> aaa`: go to http://tldp.org/guides.html and scroll down to "Linux Filesystem Hierarchy" for other formats of that guide
[11:21] <DVS01> GarryFre: i like that url =P
[11:21] <aaa`> DVS01: thanks
[11:21] <tier_> where can i find users with a vaio s1xp?
[11:21] <GarryFre> DVS01 :)
[11:22] <GarryFre> tier_ Try this info ....   http://felipe-alfaro.org/blog/2006/09/06/ubuntu-edgy-ati-fglrx-dri-3d-acceleration-and-xorg-composite-extension/

[11:22] <LazyAngel> kalon33: is it the server cd i should download? or is there some else?

[11:23] <GarryFre> tier_ You mean you tried that solution there and it still don't work?
[11:24] <LazyAngel> kalon33: yepp
[11:24] <tier_> i cant find a solution on this link. maybe my english is to bad
[11:24] <jetscreamer> is there a channel for the installer?
[11:24] <LazyAngel> kalon33: thank you. it wasn't a link to that from the main site. (at least not that i saw)

[11:25] <geokeratz> p47_> yes
[11:26] <geokeratz> p47_> red means something is wrong
[11:26] <jetscreamer> yes, and you should really check the security on your java, p47, if you don't want azureus creating a torrent with a screenshot of you d/l'ing warez
[11:26] <jetscreamer> seriously. hth.
[11:26] <tier_> garryfre is there a solution on this link? i cant find it
[11:26] <geokeratz> p47_> like the file is missing from the sharing folder or your ip has changed...
[11:27] <p47_> geokeratz: yea I have some torrent downloading but azureus show me yellow faces and green faces and red faces and I have all my lets green the let green says NAT OK, but I have red lat in the part of share
