[12:01] <bruenig> FFighter, I don't know, why don't you see
[12:01] <dojo> okay i typed aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf but know i get the error
[12:01] <dojo> Using /etc/X11/xorg.conf Saved back-up to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.original-1 aticonfig: Writing to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' failed. Bad file descriptor.
[12:01] <bruenig> what is the name of the package?
[12:01] <LjL> AMDfanboy:  for File in *.rar ; do unrar x "$File" YourDirectory/ ; done 
[12:01] <FFighter> bruening, ok, will do that
[12:01] <AMDfanboy> ajax4: no, no such folder in teh archives
[12:01] <mr_daniel> mariocesar_bo: take my settings as a template and set your /var into a right state
[12:01] <fxfitz> If I SSH to another computer, is it possible to start up a program on the display of a logged in user??
[12:01] <ajax4> LjL: Hmm, try the script LjL suggested.
[12:02] <LjL> AMDfanboy: actually, i meant  for File in *.rar ; do mkdir $(basename $File .rar); unrar x "$File" $(basename $File .rar) ; done 
[12:02] <lauriexxx> can anyone tell me how to move a complete home directory to a media storage device via comand line please?
[12:02] <AMDfanboy> i cant get unrar x to work because it extracts everything to the dierectory i'm runing the script from, the active directory, not the directory i moved the rar to
[12:02] <AMDfanboy> thast basically what i had
[12:02] <bruenig> there is such a thing called basename?
[12:02] <mr_daniel> fxfitz: you mean you want to open a GUI-program for ANOTHER user?
[12:02] <AMDfanboy> yeah drops the extenion you give it
[12:02] <LjL> lauriexxx:  cp -a /home/username/* /media/drivename/ , weren't you given this already?
[12:02] <AMDfanboy> basename
[12:02] <mariocesar_bo> mr_daniel: how, can i do it?, i am a noob con console
[12:03] <Central> I bet you people get people like me all the time, but here it goes. I've been on XP and OSX for so long, But always been intrested in Linux.. Videos of Ubunto Beryl caught my eye, and I'm wondering if I can run it on my machine... Is there anyone that would be able to tell me how? I mean I'd like to dual boot or something.
[12:03] <Corvinis-V> how can i set a bootcommand line option permanently ?
[12:03] <Corvinis-V> grub forgets my command each time
[12:03] <lauriexxx> LjL: yes but did not work
[12:03] <LjL> AMDfanboy: if you look, that unrar command has a basename at the end. that specifies which directory to extract to
[12:03] <LjL> !doesn't work | lauriexxx
[12:03] <ubotu> lauriexxx: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.
[12:03] <mr_daniel> fxfitz: i don't know, but with 'ssh -X <username>@<host>' you can activate X-forwarding. So you are able to open the GUI on your machine
[12:03] <bruenig> all this time I used sed to get basename, what a loser I am
[12:03] <mr_daniel> fxfitz: you can test it with 'xclock'
[12:04] <xenex86661> how do i make a shortcut of "cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Steam && WINEDEBUG=-all wine steam -applaunch 240"
[12:04] <phretor> hi there
[12:04] <fxfitz> mr_daniel, Yeah, I know about that, however that will pop up on MY monitor. I wanna do it to the OTHER monitor.
[12:04] <xenex86661> so i can just click it and it will run the command without terminal
[12:04] <Jowi> Central, dualboot on a x86 machine, a PPC or on a intel mac?
[12:04] <LjL> xenex86661: type  help alias 
[12:04] <W8TAH> anyone know if the debs for xchat from their site are any good?
[12:04] <LjL> xenex86661: to make aliases stay, add them to your ~/.bashrc
[12:04] <ajax4> xenex86661: Just right click on the desktop then use the "Create Launcher" option
[12:05] <Central> Jowi, Normal PC
[12:05] <phretor> I've enabled File Sharing (SMB) and create a new SMB share (not read-only). Unfortunately I can't connect to the share if both I use empty and non-empty login. Ideas?
[12:05] <xenex86661> ajax4, thanks lol
[12:05] <ajax4> xenex86661: np :)
[12:05] <mr_daniel> fxfitz: maybe the guys on #xorg can help you to solve the problem
[12:06] <Jowi> Central, that is no problem. pop in the ubuntu install CD and you can partition the disk before installation. the installation should automatically detect your windows OS and let you chose it at boot time.
[12:06] <fxfitz> mr_daniel, Thank you!
[12:06] <mr_daniel> fxfitz: you could also try to ask in #openssh
[12:06] <Thorn> Hey people, yet another problem.
[12:06] <mr_daniel> fxfitz: np
[12:07] <kenmitre> hey how come myspace don't support linux
[12:07] <runatrain> lol
[12:07] <Thorn> On a AB9 mobo, sata2 drives. No linux will install. They hang out for a long time detecting the usb driver then after that Fail to load the ata_piix driver.
[12:07] <runatrain> myspace is the devil!!
[12:08] <kenmitre> i know
[12:08] <Thorn> usbhid is the usb driver
[12:08] <Thorn> Anyone know how to fix this problem?
[12:08] <AMDfanboy> thanks, guys, jowi, you were right!
[12:08] <wapityyy> who stole the cookie from the cookie jar ?

[12:10] <Seveas> doubtful
[12:10] <jshriver> Can anyone help me?
[12:10] <poningru> user___: no you can use nfs or ssh
[12:11] <kenmitre> seaveas
[12:11] <kenmitre> is wierd
[12:11] <xenex86661> does anyone know how to make oidentd work? i have it installed but its not working
 I know it is a simple question but I am a NewB. :(
[12:11] <SillyZ> ok I have a graphical interface now, just downloaded the ati drivers from ati, installed, and aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf     now onto 3d accelleration
[12:11] <TheSystem> hellas
 I have to turn off firestarter first right?
[12:11] <poningru> uh... no
[12:12] <mc44> Seveas: arf :)
[12:12] <poningru> !ssh | user___
[12:12] <ubotu> user___: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[12:12] <Corvinis-V> is it a problem if the noapic command remains in my bootoptions ?
[12:12] <kitche> Corvinis-V: no some systems need it to work
[12:12] <poningru> user___: in firestarter just allow port 22
[12:12] <madsporkmurderer> I am trying to put my home directory on a different partition, except if I include the option uid=1000 I get an error that it is an unrecognised mount option, but without it I get a bunch of errors because I cant write to my home directory
[12:12] <Corvinis-V> so no it's not a problem it's possibly a nessecity ?
[12:13] <Corvinis-V> kitche?
[12:13] <kitche> Corvinis-V: could be
[12:13] <Corvinis-V> ok :) thanks
 I could use the connect to server which is built in to ubuntu no?
[12:14] <Corvinis-V> kitche > my system seems to be one of those :P
[12:14] <runatrain> dc
[12:14] <TheSystem> i searched in the german board of ubuntu, but i can't finde the same prolem so i'll ask here :). I want to install ubunto on my extern hdd, with the livecd version, but the grub owned me mbr
[12:14] <chamunks> whats the command to list groups and members of groups?
[12:15] <lightrush> hi ppl
[12:15] <user_> ponigru; wtf are u talking about :d i havent asked anything about ssh or so -.-
[12:15] <TheSystem> is there a posibillty to install ubunto on a extern hdd without owning the mbr of my hdd (intern)
[12:15] <poningru> user___: ok so here's how it works, one system has to act like the ssh server which you have to install, and the other computers can connect to it using the built in ssh client
[12:15] <poningru> and then they can exchange files
[12:15] <ico2> hi, anyone know of an apt repository with a more up-to-date kernel than the standard one? i need a version where kvm works properly
[12:15] <poningru> user___: smb and nfs are bad protocols that are very insecure
[12:16] <poningru> ico2: HA...
[12:16] <chamunks> i want to add access rights to more than one person to my /var/www/  the same as my own what would i do?
[12:16] <poningru> you should test out the newer gutsy kernel
[12:16] <Rage> Is there a way of upgrading ubuntu 6 to ubuntu 7 without a cd drive?
[12:16] <poningru> !upgrade | Rage
[12:16] <ubotu> Rage: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[12:16] <Rage> Thanks.
[12:16] <PriceChild> poningru, really not good advice...
[12:17] <ico2> poningru, thanks
[12:17] <lightrush> I have installed my system over a raid and formatted it with ReiserFS because of performance reasons - now every time I startup the splashscreen drops me into framebuffer and shows me messages of checking filesystems - is that normal ? Does it have to do it everytime?
[12:17] <PriceChild> (about the gutsy kernel)
[12:17] <poningru> PriceChild: what? he asked for newer kernel than 2.6.20
 OK Makes sense.  What is the sudo command to get the ssh server loaded?
[12:17] <nair> hi
[12:17] <poningru> !ssh | user___ its a bit more involved than that follow this wiki page
[12:17] <ubotu> user___ its a bit more involved than that follow this wiki page: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[12:17] <PriceChild> poningru, yeah but suggesting he use gutsy's in feisty isn't clever at all...
[12:17] <wapityyy> !help PriceChild
[12:17] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about help pricechild - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:17] <PriceChild> wapityyy, ?
[12:18] <wapityyy> <3
[12:18] <mc44> PriceChild: whats the worst that could happen! :P
[12:18] <chamunks> i want to add access rights to more than one person to my /var/www/  the same as my own what would i do?
[12:18] <nair> does any one knows how to make work a promiso tx233 in raid mode?
[12:18] <PriceChild> mc44, fire?
[12:18] <poningru> PriceChild: I assumed he would upgrade to gutsy in the process
[12:18] <PriceChild> Chad_, add them to the www-data group
[12:18] <mc44> PriceChild: ooh, good point. stop playing with those matches
[12:18] <wapityyy> poningru: you mean goatse?
[12:18] <poningru> rofl
[12:18] <PriceChild> poningru, and that's not good either... gutsy is broken and in development.
[12:18] <ico2> PriceChild, meh, if my ubuntu system dies, i have a backup of my apt cache, a reinstall will take about an hour, lol
[12:18] <PriceChild> !aptoncd | ico2
[12:18] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about aptoncd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:18] <poningru> uh... tribe1 is coming out soon
[12:18] <PriceChild> !info aptoncd | ico2
[12:18] <ubotu> ico2: aptoncd: CD-based repository creator for packages downloaded via APT. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.1-0ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 169 kB, installed size 1144 kB
[12:19] <g8tr> Has anyone ever had a problem with a window maximizing to an all black screen, I then have to play with the screen size in order to get it to show up, its happened to me in all kinds of windows/programs
[12:19] <lightrush> !reiserfs
[12:19] <ubotu> reiserfs is a journalling file system, in benchmarks it outperforms many others on I/O operations, but they take notoriously long to mount.
[12:19] <Corvinis-V> Is the ubuntu update engine dependable? It shouldn't hurt to install every possible update right ?
[12:19] <PriceChild> g8tr, using beryl or desktop effects?
[12:19] <g8tr> yes
[12:20] <poningru> Corvinis-V: uh... please update everything
[12:20] <PurpZeY> Corvinis-V: The most recent kernel has caused some people a few problems, but it's not anything unfixable. or you could just update and select the old one in grub
[12:20] <PriceChild> Corvinis-V, it doesn't use half a new version and half an old version. It will load the old to memory and use it to apply all updates. It will then use the new version net time its called
[12:20] <poningru> especially the security
[12:20] <PriceChild> Corvinis-V, so just update everything and don't worry :)
[12:20] <fxfitz> I have XDMCP enabled on another computer. Is it possible to log in to that computer WITHOUT logging off of this computer and connecting??
[12:21] <Corvinis-V> ok lol.... I ditched windows for my server so you might understand why i'm weary with autoupdating :P
[12:21] <poningru> fxfitz: switch user
[12:21] <poningru> not log off
[12:21] <fxfitz> poningru, I don't want to get off at all though. I would like it in a small window.
[12:21] <Jowi> g8tr, what type of apps? you can try to check the undirect option in the beryl settings first screen (don't remember the exact name since I'm trying out ion3 atm)
[12:21] <poningru> fxfitz: hmm no clue
[12:21] <vladuz976> i am trying to plot postscript eps with gnuplot i get an error "loadpath empty" anybody know how to set that?
[12:22] <Jowi> g8tr, but I know there are probs with gksudo for example
[12:22] <g8tr> firefox, the file browser, wine'd apps
[12:22] <ajax4> Hey guys...just added some hard drives. What's the best graphical tool for creating mount points and applying the changes to fstab?
[12:22] <g8tr> I was using Desktop effects, I just disabled it, see if it happens again
[12:23] <mapez> Does anyone here have a Nokia 6275i working with Ubuntu?
[12:23] <vladuz976> here is the error, can someone look at it? http://rafb.net/p/22R9wc12.html
[12:23] <Jowi> g8tr, wine'd apps yes it happens all the time (so I run them windowed) but firefox should not do that.... :/
[12:24] <nuked_omen> desktop effects are still beta anyway
[12:24] <PriceChild> g8tr, will be a driver bug then
[12:25] <g8tr> PriceChild: you think it may be a driver issue?
[12:25] <PriceChild> g8tr, yes
[12:25] <ag1999> I have a Compaq Presario and I can't get Ubuntu to load. It gets stuck about halfway through loading the CD
[12:25] <kal> hi
[12:26] <ag1999> any different boot options I can try?
[12:26] <TOoSmOotH> Anyone here use Beryl with Nvidia?
[12:26] <PurpZeY> TOoSmOotH: I do.
[12:26] <j1tters> hey all. anyone using gnomad with a creative zen. Or does anyone know a channel for questions for that? other than #frugalware?
[12:26] <TOoSmOotH> You ever had it make the titles over your windows dissapear where you can no longer love them etc?
[12:26] <j1tters> mucho appreciated. if so. thanks
[12:27] <PurpZeY> TOoSmOotH: what?
[12:27] <kal> I've compiled my own 2.6.21 with make-kpg, but i have a problem with nvidia-glx. I can't load the module : FATAL: Error running install command for nvidia
[12:27] <liquiddoom> He meant move.
[12:27] <Corvinis-V> PriceChild > Should I reboot after the updates ?
[12:27] <theBishop> hi, is there any fix for the "newworld" error during the PS3 install?
[12:27] <W8TAH> how stable/active in development is XMMS for ubuntu? or is there a better option at this point?
[12:27] <TOoSmOotH> PurpZeY, The titale bar on a window.. like what the themes edit
[12:27] <kal> i heard that i had to install the linux-restricted-modules package, but how can i compile that for a 2.6.21 ?
[12:27] <PriceChild> Corvinis-V, shouldn't need to unless its drivers or services
[12:27] <kelsey> #ahs
[12:27] <PurpZeY> TOoSmOotH: No, don't think so...Seems like that might be related to emerald though. can't say, I don't really know much about beryl.
[12:27] <Corvinis-V> oh just got a msg "system restart required" lol
[12:28] <TOoSmOotH> k
[12:28] <j1tters> kelsy was that to me?
[12:28] <stefg> kal, that doesn' work. you need to apt-get install nvidia-source and module assistant to build a proper module for your kernel
[12:28] <kal> stefg: ok, thank you for your answer
[12:29] <gu1> when I move a complied shared library a.so to another linux box, and try to use it, I get an error, and ldd throws "not a dynamic executable" for that file... how can I make it that second box to recognize my file as a shared library?
[12:29] <kal> stefg: by the way, what does contain linux-restricted-modules ?
[12:29] <KDan> hey... how do i set the global email that all the random stuff (e.g. output from cron) gets sent to?
[12:30] <stefg> kal that's the proprietary kernel-modules. but you run your own kernel, you have left that path and are on your own now.
[12:30] <kal> stefg: all right, thank you :)
[12:30] <xenex86661> what is a good download manager for ubuntu?
[12:30] <kal> stefg: so i don't need anymore nvidia-glx ?
[12:30] <user_> can anybody tell me something about how good mac mini hardware is? (software is not so intresting cuz there is alot of oss out htere ;)
[12:30] <kal> xenex86661: axel
[12:30] <Terminus> gu1: try running 'sudo ldconfig'
[12:31] <gu1> Terminus: thanks.. I had done that already.
[12:31] <SDO> MacMini, Parallels, Ubuntu 6.10 installed on VM and working.  Have 1200x900 resolution but want to change to 800x600 (for testing purposes).  Went to desktop resolution, and it changes back to the the 1200x900 within 5 seconds of selecting the lower resolution.  Any thoughts on how to work aroudn this, maybe editing the x server config file?  Details, URLs, any help is appreciated.
[12:31] <stefg> kal: nvidia-glx is the blob, which you need (the actual driver) nvidia.ko is just sort of an adapter to fit nvidia-glx to the kernel
[12:31] <gu1> it still says  "not a dynamic executable"
[12:31] <KDan> how do i set the global email that all the random stuff (e.g. output from cron) gets sent to?
[12:32] <SDO> user_: I have 2 mac minis, and loke them both very mcuh ,one is intel dual core 2 gig ram, and toher is PPC, the dual core is my fav.
[12:32] <kal> stefg: ok. Is there a guide/wiki that explain the compilation of nvidia kernel module ?
[12:32] <WindowLess> how do i install Battle for Wesnoth Version 1.2.4 (feisty comes with 1.2.3 but it has a lot of bugs). I'm taking a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=459389&highlight=wesnoth+1.2.4 but i'm not sure how to install. please help a NEWBIE
[12:32] <Eric> my computer won't boot a DVD. the drive is a DVD-ROM drive and it will boot CDs without any problems. The DVD works, I've tested it on a different computer and ran a checksum on it. Any ideas?
[12:32] <Terminus> gu1: permissions i guess? what does 'file a.out' and 'ls -l a.out' say? a dll also has to be executable.
[12:33] <Eoghanalbar> hey, funny stuff with a wireless mouse connected to a laptop being jerky, but the touchpad acting smooth as usual.
[12:34] <Terminus> gu1: i mean a.so. =D
[12:34] <user_> SDO: 1) check macminihacks website for ur question, 2) have u let osx there, or put linux on it?:) (or somthing like that)
[12:34] <gu1> I'll try permissions...
[12:34] <LinuxChick> Hi there, anyone have a good way to get vmplayer to work with sound?
[12:34] <gu1> what do you mean by executables?
[12:34] <SDO> user_: have osx on it, with parallels running to make xp and ubuntu work.
[12:34] <gu1> the files are in place.. so ls -l a.so will work fine...
[12:34] <Terminus> gu1: the execute bit has to be set for permissions.
[12:35] <Terminus> gu1: i was looking for the part that says '-rwxr-xr-x' when you do 'ls -l a.so'
[12:35] <gu1> ohh
[12:35] <user_> SDO: r u familar with Windows/Linux, how do u find osx?:)
[12:35] <gu1> yes.. since I am testing this stuff. I set 777 to all the files
[12:35] <gu1> so.. it is not that
[12:36] <user_> SDO: btw, never used macos, but familar with win/lin :)
[12:36] <SDO> user_: I have been using OS X since it was NeXTstep, so I like OS X nice.  Windows and Linux are necessary for my job too, so I use them to test software.
[12:36] <stefg> kal, if you had been clever you had installed nvidia-kernel-source before building  your kernel (you would have a fitting deb with nvidia.ko in it built automagically).
[12:36] <gu1> so it is -rwxrwxrwx
[12:36] <Terminus> gu1: which dir did you put it in?
[12:36] <SDO> OS X is pretty fast and fairly usable for all levels of users, so it is a good OS in general.
[12:36] <kal> stefg: ok that's why modprbe nvidia still doesn't work, even after building nvidia
[12:37] <Terminus> gu1: you might have to add the path to /etc/ld.so.conf.d/foo.conf and rerun ldconfig
[12:37] <SDO> try it out with a mac mini, I like having 2 OSs on it running in tandem, and look to have Solaris and Linux running here soon.
[12:37] <gu1> hm in my own dir, but also added it to /etc/ld.so.conf, and I know it is been taken since ldconf -v will show them
[12:37] <SDO> the days of hardware are over, and VM solutions like Parallels and VMWare are here to stay :)
[12:37] <stefg> kal: can't find a propre howto quick... but it goes along the lines of 'sudo apt-get install module-assistant 'm-a a-i nvidia' it's quick and painless
[12:37] <gu1> yes... I did that too
[12:37] <WindowLess> Billiard: i'm wrining you on our private screen
[12:37] <WindowLess> u there, Billiard?
[12:38] <user_> SDO: i have some question, like.. how is osx about openness, i mean, if i compare lin to win.. win is somthing i dont want to go back cuz in lin i defenately have a a freedon to do with the system waht i want
[12:38] <gu1> The only thing I can think of, is that the files where compiled in a 64 bit box, and moved to a 32 bit one... but I guess I should be getting a different error message
[12:38] <Terminus> gu1: beats me then. unless that copy is corrupt.
[12:38] <kal> stefg: module-assistant ? here is what i just did : cd /usr/src ; tar xvzf nvidia* ; cd nvidia*/nv ; make ; make install (i get an error there cause it cannot load nvidia module at the end)
[12:39] <Terminus> gu1: ah... maybe it was compiled as 64 bit then? you might have to recompile for 32 bit...
[12:39] <WindowLess> Billiard: hi. got your messages. maybe it's because i'm not registered on this chatroom. i should do that now
[12:39] <kal> stefg: now im recompiling my kernel to include nvidia.ko. Is it ok ?
[12:39] <Terminus> gu1: wouldn't know though. i don't do 64 bit.
[12:39] <SDO> you can mangle the OS X all you want.  It is fairly open, but in the sense of like Linux, there isn't much like linux regarding openess.
[12:39] <Billiard> WindowLess im not getting your messages, yea do that
[12:39] <theBishop> is this the right room to get help on the PS3 version of ubuntu?
[12:39] <red_21> any having problems running 7.04 on a dell e1505 laptop with the ati x1300 video card
[12:39] <red_21> ?
[12:39] <Corvinis-V> what was a good client for irc on linux? someone mentioned something like issrc earlier ?
[12:39] <Terminus> Corvinis-V: irssi?
[12:39] <SDO> but the best ting to do is just buy a mac mini before they are no longer avaialble, and try i tout.  I pretty much can say you will get $$$ out of it if you decide to sell.
[12:39] <Corvinis-V> oh yeah
[12:39] <DocTrax___> the file /etc/lsb-release is not well formatted
[12:39] <gu1> Terminus: thanks a lot for your help!
[12:39] <stefg> kal: there's more to it ( and you will want a deb) not necessary to recompile the whole kernel. Just get a clue about module assistant
[12:39] <mc44> red_21: what problem?
[12:39] <Corvinis-V> good one terminus ?
[12:39] <theBishop> Corvinis-V, i use xchat
[12:39] <DocTrax___> it should contain one line like "Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty" or only 7.04
[12:40] <Corvinis-V> ic
[12:40] <Terminus> Corvinis-V: i noticed that you just switched from windows so you might be more comfortable with xchat. personally, i use irssi. learning curve is steeper though.
[12:40] <DocTrax___> or is it a new format?
[12:40] <ramatieg> Anybody know of a 'native' (compiles to machine code) XML-RPC client?
[12:40] <Corvinis-V> I've been using mirc on windows alot :P
[12:40] <kal> stefg: ok im going to take a look at this program. I come from Gentoo, that's why i don't know it
[12:40] <AMDXP> xchat is good for beginners
[12:40] <Terminus> gu1: hope you get to fix it. =)
[12:40] <user_> SDO: ive also heard that rumor about closing a book on mac mini, but its not official euhm..
[12:40] <Corvinis-V> xchat is good ok :)
[12:40] <WindowLess> Billiard: see http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23984/
[12:41] <stefg> !info module-assistant
[12:41] <Terminus> Corvinis-V: when you get more comfortable with command line stuff and do a lot of things by remote, screen + irssi is hard to beat. =)
[12:41] <ubotu> module-assistant: tool to make module package creation easier. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.10.10 (feisty), package size 86 kB, installed size 428 kB
[12:41] <haykuro> Hello everyone :) I'm looking for some answers to 2 really quick questions. The first one is about compiling a very old kde app in feisty, and another is just a simple hardware question? can someone help me out
[12:41] <donkeet> im having trouble getting wireless to work
[12:41] <SDO> it may be, and from the sounds of it hte iTV is giong to be slated to replace the mac mini at the consumer level and provide media experience as well.  It does make sense, adn I would count the mini out of production in less than 6 months so that it doesn't compete with xmas/winter sales.
[12:41] <SDO> just my thoughts.
[12:41] <SDO> good luck.
[12:41] <Corvinis-V> haha ok :) Well I installed linux to run my webserver and learn about the OS :)
[12:41] <Corvinis-V> can't hurt to know more :x
[12:42] <kal> reboot ; brb
[12:42] <vladuz976> where do you set gnuplot paths ?
[12:43] <ulysse_> toujours pas resolu mon probleme d'arret
[12:43] <user_> SDO: waht can u tell about a video processor of duel core, (i guess its the last generation one)
[12:43] <Corvinis-L> lol
[12:43] <Corvinis-L> woot :) finally on irc!
[12:43] <Terminus> Corvinis-V: have fun. tweaking linux is a lot of fun. in your spare time of course. =)
[12:43] <user_> oh, hes gone -.-

[12:44] <Terminus> bah... HymnToLife beat me to it.
[12:44] <Corvinis-L> hehe I know it's fun.... I messed around with SUSE a good 8 years ago.... I liked it then :) Ah well let the learning begin ;)
[12:44] <Aerotwelve> Hey, can anyone help me with setting up my sound? It's not working for me, but lspci recognizes my card just fine.
[12:44] <stefg> !sound | Aerotwelve
[12:44] <ubotu> Aerotwelve: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3

[12:45] <Dutchy> how would i go about completely removing something, including all dependencies? i cant manage te reinstall all amarok depencies including config files
[12:45] <bruenig> does anyone know how to wget a search request from google, such as "wget google.com/search?q=ubuntu" I get 403 error when I do that
[12:46] <HymnToLife> Dutchy, sound like you're looking for apt-get remove --purge
[12:46] <Dutchy> hmm, i tried that... :| dont believe it worked
[12:46] <Terminus> lol HymnToLife. like messing up `make buildworld` is a good thing to do on mission critical boxen. =P
[12:46] <Pelo> Dutchy, menu > sytem > admin > synaptic package manager,  find the prog, rightclik, properties,  the first tab list all the dependencies,   make notes ,search and selects
[12:46] <vladuz976> can anybody tell me where i set gnuplot environmental variables please?
[12:46] <Dutchy> Pelo: ill try that
[12:46] <bruenig> Dutchy, sudo apt-get autoremove for all the dependencies, conf files will go too unless they are creating by the program during execution, such as those in ~
[12:46] <liquiddoom> I'm trying to setup my ubuntu server as a router with an NAT firewall. Know of any software which would help? All the software I find is for actual routers or is its own distro. Should I just run one in VMware?
[12:47] <kal> re
[12:47] <stefg> liquiddoom: Gui or just console?
[12:48] <Gheekaru> Hello everyone
[12:48] <jrib> bruenig: change the user agent
[12:48] <liquiddoom> stefg: Console. if I wanna blow 150MB, I CAN install firestarter or such
[12:48] <liquiddoom> stefg: But I really wanna keep it as light as possible
[12:48] <kal> stefg: it still does not work :( I have three debs : linux-headers-2.6.21.3_2.6.21.3-10.00.Custom_i386.deb linux-image-2.6.21.3_2.6.21.3-10.00.Custom_i386.deb nvidia-kernel-2.6.21.3_1.0.9631-0ubuntu3+2.6.21.3-10.00.Custom_i386.deb
[12:48] <thedonvaughn> liquiddoom, then don't install a bloated helper... just set it up by hand.  google nat + linux
[12:48] <stefg> !iptables
[12:48] <Pelo> hello Gheekaru , what can we do for you today
[12:48] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[12:48] <kal> stefg: these 3 debs are of course installed, but it still doesn not want to load the module
[12:49] <KjetilK> I have an NFS and samba server on my file server, and my idea has been to set up my laptop to use NFS if it detects that it is on the inside of my LAN, or SSHFS on the outside to mount them.
[12:49] <bruenig> jrib, and I would do that by...
[12:49] <liquiddoom> Alright. One more question
[12:49] <KjetilK> is that a good idea, and if so, has somebody done it allready?
[12:49] <Gheekaru> I'm writing a python script for Gedit, it works well, but Gedit don't let him display the result in a new document
[12:49] <stefg> kal: then you have to see the logs why it doesn't work (API mismatch is popular)
[12:49] <kal> stefg: moreover, the file /lib/modules/2.6.21.3/nvidia/nvidia.ko exist !
[12:49] <jrib> bruenig: -U, google for "wget faq" for a good string to use...
[12:49] <tjb13> hey guys I was wondering if there was a home router guide for ubuntu
[12:49] <kal> stefg: is there any log for modprobe ?
[12:49] <tjb13> like the gentoo one, to set up a router to share a cable modem connection using a ubuntu computer with 2 nics
[12:50] <tjb13> that would do dns and dhcp etc...
[12:50] <stefg> kal: sudo depmod --a
[12:50] <stefg> kal: sudo depmod -a
[12:50] <tjb13> like a linksys but just with your ubuntu box
[12:50] <Gheekaru> it always displays it in the console. If I turn the output to "new document", or "replace selection", Gedit turn it again to "Console"
[12:50] <Pelo> Gheekaru, try asking in #python , you're more likely to get help with this there
[12:50] <Gheekaru> no, the problem is gedit
[12:50] <liquiddoom> I have two network cards, one for the modem and one to go to my other machines. It recognizes both interfaces, but ifconfig only shows the one whose link is up. Once I plug the modem in, will the other interface come up?
[12:50] <kal> stefg:
[12:50] <kal> root ~ $ modprobe nvidia
[12:50] <kal> FATAL: Error running install command for nvidia
[12:50] <stefg> kal: because the nvidia-source wasn't present your system.map might be not aware if it
[12:51] <kal> i made the depmode -a of course :)
[12:51] <bruenig> jrib, yep thanks
[12:51] <stefg> kal: *sudo* modprobe (if you are not in a rott-shell)
[12:51] <liquiddoom> lshw says "*-network:0 DISABLED"
[12:51] <kal> stefg: im in a root shell :)

[12:52] <wall0159> Hi all. I've just upgraded vpnc in Feisty and it isn't behaving any more :-). I think part of the problem is that it is now modifying resolv.conf (I don't want it to), but I'm not sure how to stop it doing this. Any suggestions?
[12:52] <Pelo> Gheekaru, I wouldn'T know how to help you which is why I was recommending #python
[12:53] <Gheekaru> okok. but the problem isn't python.. the builtin script is in bash... I'll keep trying

[12:56] <stefg> ok... as i set i'm just guessing around
[12:57] <stefg> s/set/said/
[12:57] <wall0159> I only want to use the vnc to authenticate a program across the internet. I don't want to actually browse the remote network (hence I don't want vpnc to modify my resolv.conf file) - I've had a look in the docs, but I haven't really seen how to do this, or any howtos, etc... any pointers?
[12:57] <mitchell123b> does anyone know why i get this error message?
[12:58] <kal> stefg: my config is ok, isn't it ? i use this config kernel under gentoo and its ok...
[12:58] <stefg> kal: i wouldn't count on that. ubuntu has some very different ideas (libata e.g.)
[12:59] <Corvinis-V> can I add two servers to xchat?
[12:59] <eric__> Hi All, I have a Feisty install that I have moved from one notebook to another (the physical drive.) the two notebooks are almost identical just going to a faster proc, but the drivers nic, video and such are the same, however my ethernet is not coming up. how can I reconfig the network? is this a physical MAC address issue?
[12:59] <cj1> if you type "sudo aptitude dist-upgrade" from 6.06, will it upgrade to 6.10 or 7.04?
[12:59] <Corvinis-V> that both boot ?
[12:59] <mitchell123b> why do i get this error E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[12:59] <mitchell123b> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[12:59] <Corvinis-V> when i open xchat ?
[01:00] <kal> stefg: well, its a vanilla kernel, i didn't activated nvidia_framebuffer so it should be ok. Im going to search on google for the sme problem. Thank you anyway :)
[01:00] <stefg> mitchell123b: you get this because dpkg was interrupted.
[01:00] <poningru> !upgrade | cj1
[01:00] <ubotu> cj1: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[01:01] <mitchell123b> it happens everytime i try to update or download anything
[01:01] <mitchell123b> how can i fix it?
[01:01] <mapez> Where would I discuss cell phones on the ubuntu forums?
[01:01] <cj1> ubotu: yeah...trying now, but there is info in so many places, looks like i started in wrong place. trying to see how to undo so i can have a not-so-useless system...
[01:02] <stefg> mitchell123b: so have you run sudo dpkg--configure -a ?
[01:02] <cj1> er...poningru, i guess

[01:06] <konam> bulmer beat me to it
[01:06] <wall0159> ahh - I asked prematurely. FYI, I added a line to /etc/vpnc/default.conf. it was 'DNSUpdate no', so vpnc now doesn't alter my resolv.conf file
[01:06] <bluebanana> thanks. i tried doing an install and the terminal said i neeeded python 2.4 but i have 2.5, how can i force the install?
[01:07] <bluebanana> i'm using the "sudo dpkg -i " command for installing some debs

[01:07] <mim> Hey I'm new to chat things. Let me see. I type "Hi", "LOL" etc is that right?

[01:07] <konam> mim yeah, that's right
[01:07] <jrib> mim: here, you just ask an ubuntu support question or help answer one

[01:09] <mim> Looks dudes I'm upstream to you I use Debian. So that makes me more important than Ubuntu users right?
[01:10] <jrib> Wiseguy: does gnome recognize the extension?

[01:12] <stefg> eric__: have you messed with the hostname of the box?
[01:12] <Trixsey> I installed Ubuntu, and migrated from Gnome to KDE... Am I using Kubuntu right now or is it still Ubuntu? ^^
[01:12] <jrib> Wiseguy: right click on the chm file and go to properties.  Then go to "open with" and tell it to use your program
[01:12] <eric__> no
[01:12] <soundray> Wiseguy: try right-clicking on the file, select Properties, go to the Open with... tab and set xchm there.
[01:12] <Lilacor> Trixsey: you're still using ubuntu...just the KDE flavor of Ubuntu
[01:13] <eric__> only thing I can think of is the MAC would be dif on this box
[01:13] <jeffwheeler> How can I change the Firefox icon in GNOME?

[01:14] <jeffwheeler> Is it _possible_ to change the FF icon?
[01:14] <danielito384> holaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[01:14] <Trixsey> He said I'm using Ubuntu with a KDE flavor
[01:14] <rollerskatejamms> Trixsey: yes, you can install the kubuntu-desktop package
[01:14] <jrib> bluebanana: join me in #ubuntu-classroom
[01:14] <Lilacor> Trixsey: it's essentially the same thing
[01:14] <dv_> In "Desktop Effects" I can only enable the cube and wobbling windows
[01:14] <Trixsey> And you say that Kubuntu is Ubuntu+KDE (essentially what I'm using)
[01:14] <dv_> but not the expose clone
[01:14] <rollerskatejamms> kubuntu can be installed as a metapackage, not just off cd
[01:14] <rollerskatejamms> dont think of kubuntu as a seperaet os from ubuntu
[01:14] <rollerskatejamms> think of it as ubuntu with slightly different packages. you can have both sets installed at once
[01:14] <stefg> !kubuntu
[01:14] <ubotu> Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE

[01:15] <rollerskatejamms> Lilacor: no need to be mean
[01:15] <dv_> hello?
[01:15] <Lilacor> rollerskatejamms: you're probably right. I'm just in a pissy mood

[01:16] <luiscobon> some speak wihteme?
[01:16] <PurpZeY> luiscobon: yes?
[01:16] <kal> stefg: insmod /lib/modules/2.6.21.3/nvidia/nvidia.ko did the trick
[01:16] <Lilacor> luiscobon: ?
[01:16] <kal> stefg: it seems modprobe could net see it...
[01:16] <kal> not*
[01:17] <kal> brb
[01:17] <Lilacor> kal upgraded to the latest kernel?
[01:17] <luiscobon> Im liven in guatemala
[01:17] <Lilacor> !es
[01:17] <ubotu> Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[01:17] <stefg> kal, as i said. your system.map is wrong, so modprobe didn't work. insmod doesn't rely on system.map, so it works
[01:17] <soundray> !offtopic | luiscobon
[01:17] <ubotu> luiscobon: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[01:19] <unics> hello
[01:19] <soundray> !hi
[01:19] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[01:19] <kal> stefg: indeed, insmod can load nvidia.ko but modprobe can no
[01:19] <kal> s/no/not
[01:19] <unics> i have a lower end system, which version of ubuntu would be best to use, but still get some nice features ?
[01:19] <soundray> kal: that's usually fixed with sudo depmod -a
[01:20] <stefg> so go and use m-a
[01:20] <unics> should i name some details of my system ?
[01:20] <kal> soundray: i did it ...
[01:20] <PurpZeY> unics: xubuntu is the least graphically intense...What are the specs?
[01:20] <soundray> unics: yes
[01:20] <kal> stefg: i do not understand how m-a works. Can you give me the command or link me to a wiki ?
[01:21] <unics> PII 400Mhz, 192 MB 133Mhz SDRam, geforce 2 - 32MB, 40GB HDD
[01:21] <rookiehwm> ew
[01:21] <rookiehwm> xubuntu it is~
[01:21] <PurpZeY> Maybe you want PuppyLinux on something like that
[01:21] <rookiehwm> !
[01:21] <Corvinis-L> mmm yeah
[01:21] <LinTux> what is the easiest way to configure comms 1 for a modem
[01:21] <Corvinis-L> like konversation alot better
[01:21] <Corvinis-L> then xchat
[01:21] <Lilacor> 192MB...whoah
[01:21] <unics> would xubuntu work smooth with these specs ?
[01:21] <stefg> kal: sudo apt-get install module-assistant (to get it), cd /usr/src/nvidia , sudo m-a a-i nvidia
[01:22] <soundray> unics: I'd recommend xubuntu. I've run ubuntu on a system similar to yours, but you need a lot of patience.
[01:22] <lllllll> When I go to System>Administration>synaptic package manager, I can't download the package list from the internet. Firefox is online fine, but Ubuntu itself doesn't seem to be able to connect. Help!
[01:22] <Lilacor> unics: I recommend you run a command line system.
[01:22] <poningru> lllllll: hmm
[01:22] <Lilacor> unics: anything more than that would be useless
[01:22] <kal> stefg: cd /usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel/ ? or i mkdir a nvidia in /usr/src ?
[01:22] <poningru> lllllll: go into a terminal
[01:22] <poningru> and type ifconfig
[01:22] <poningru> what do you see there?
[01:22] <unics> well, i would like it to run smooth, i'm not after super graphics, or high configurability, it should just look nice and perform well (not stuck all the time)
[01:22] <Wescott> Is there a way to add icons to the gnome "start button" for all users?
[01:23] <stefg> kal: nvidia-kernel is the one
[01:23] <soundray> unics: what are you planning to use your system for?
[01:23] <poningru> lllllll: then do a ping ubuntu.com
[01:23] <LinTux> how do I configure a comms port to use a modem
[01:23] <kal> ok let's try again, brb :)
[01:23] <unics> IRC, some music, messenger, and some programming in Perl or some others
[01:23] <poningru> lllllll: now go and check to see that your sources are checked in system->admin->software repositories
[01:24] <MattJ> unics: I've used Xubuntu on a similar spec PC. What can I say, it's better than Windows :P
[01:24] <rookiehwm> if only there were itunes for linux
[01:24] <rookiehwm> that's all i ask
[01:24] <rookiehwm> ALL
[01:24] <unics> ohh, ok then, i'll check it out, thanks guys
[01:24] <poningru> lllllll: also uncheck the cd
[01:24] <PanzerMKZ> ubuntu server is good too
[01:24] <poningru> rookiehwm: just use rythmbox
[01:24] <MattJ> rookiehwm: Amarok beats itunes hands down ;)
[01:24] <PanzerMKZ> just to be a file server
[01:24] <poningru> or amarok
[01:24] <rookiehwm> but i need to play my purchased music
[01:24] <rookiehwm> that's the prob, bob
[01:24] <soundray> rookiehwm: ask Apple to port it. Only they can help, since iTunes is closed source.
[01:24] <lllllll> I haven't got "software repositories". I've got "software sources"
[01:24] <LinTux> how do i configure a modem port?
[01:25] <hammedhaaret> rookiehwm: you should try out songbird... its only beta still but its really good
[01:25] <stefg> !modem | LinTux
[01:25] <ubotu> LinTux: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto
[01:25] <brylie> rookiehwm, don't support apple any more by purchasing their proprietery formatted music
[01:25] <bluebanana> jrib
[01:25] <LinTux> No I want to use a packet radio TNC, basically a modem.
[01:25] <bluebanana> i got lost
[01:26] <soundray> LinTux: you need a terminal emulator, like minicom
[01:26] <brylie> rookiehwm, if AAC were a more open codec it would be more easy for linux users to play in whatever player they choose
[01:26] <hammedhaaret> rookiehwm... your purcased music? the DRM crap? there is another way to get that.. after all you paid for it once. i wouldn't feel to guilty
[01:26] <soundray> !info minicom | LinTux
[01:26] <rookiehwm> hammedhaaret, yeah, i know, but it's a pain in the arse lol
[01:26] <ubotu> lintux: minicom: friendly menu driven serial communication program. In component main, is optional. Version 2.2-4build1 (feisty), package size 164 kB, installed size 1112 kB
[01:27] <LinTux> yes but I need to configure a port surely
[01:27] <soundray> LinTux: yes. In minicom.
[01:27] <LinTux> cheers
[01:28] <brylie> I agree that piracy is a legitimate option for rookiehwm
[01:28] <soundray> LinTux: your first serial port is usually called /dev/ttyS0, the second one /dev/ttyS1 (COM1 and COM2 in DOS)
[01:28] <stefg> LinTux: you'll need to write a udev-rule which dynamically creates the right device-node (like /dev/modem ) in the /dev -tree
[01:28] <hammedhaaret> rookiehwm: http://www.songbirdnest.com/  ...as far as i can tell... songbird supports ACC
[01:28] <LinTux> soundray do I need to set these up?
[01:28] <ugarit> what is the name of the package that contains the kernel sources for 2.6.20-16?
[01:28] <rookiehwm> hammedhaaret, thanks!
[01:29] <rookiehwm> i'll check it out
[01:29] <brylie> It is not good to transcode from one lossy codec to another but I would personally migrate my collection away from AAC
[01:29] <soundray> LinTux: no, normally if they are present they will exist already.
[01:29] <lllllll> poningru: I'm connected to my uni network fine, and as I say Firefox is OK now too, but nothing else will go. Gaim doesn't connect, nor does ubuntu itself when looking for updates, downloading package lists etc.
[01:29] <rollerskatejamms> Anybody know how much space a command line install from the alternate cd uses up
[01:29] <chowmeined> lllllll: proxy?
[01:29] <rollerskatejamms> i mean if i install a command line system
[01:29] <soundray> LinTux: if your TNC needs special settings, you can make them there. Default is 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop.
[01:29] <stefg> ugarit: : apt-cache search linux-soure
[01:29] <bruenig> rollerskatejamms, in the range of 2 gigs probably
[01:30] <rookiehwm> hammedhaaret, it says it supports itunes store purchased songs, thanks!
[01:30] <soundray> LinTux: oops, by "there" I mean minicom
[01:30] <stefg> ugarit: : apt-cache search linux-source
[01:30] <rollerskatejamms> bruenig, really that much? with no apps at all? wheres that 2 gigs go
[01:30] <lllllll> chowmeined: My proxy is set up in preferences>network proxy exactly the same as it is in firefox
[01:30] <poningru> lllllll: that is weird and does not make sense because the software install uses port 80 same as firefox
[01:30] <bruenig> rollerskatejamms, with no apps at all, the alternate cd installs apps
[01:30] <ugarit> stefg: nothing was returned!!!
[01:30] <rollerskatejamms> bruenig, No I don't mean the standard alternate instal
[01:30] <bruenig> rollerskatejamms, server install?
[01:30] <rollerskatejamms> bruenig, I mean when you use the "Install command line system" option on the alternate cd
[01:30] <ugarit> so there it is
[01:30] <brylie> rookiehwm, I uso a audio player on Ubuntu called Audacious which, I just read, has AAC support
[01:30] <chowmeined> lllllll: there is also a proxy setting in synaptic
[01:30] <stefg> !info linux-source
[01:30] <ubotu> linux-source: Linux kernel source with Ubuntu patches. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.20.16.28.1 (feisty), package size 23 kB, installed size 52 kB
[01:30] <lllllll> poningru: It took some strange actions to get firefox to go, to be fair
[01:31] <hammedhaaret> rookiehwm: you're welcome
[01:31] <lllllll> OK, I'll look in synaptic
[01:31] <chowmeined> lllllll: and if you are using command line tools, you need to set the var $http_proxy
[01:31] <bruenig> rollerskatejamms, oh, I am not sure, probably very little, just a kernel and basic stuff, I would bet < 500 MB
[01:31] <poningru> lllllll: can you ping google.com?
[01:31] <chowmeined> lllllll: but they may block ports, the proxy will pretty much only help you with port 80
[01:31] <rollerskatejamms> bruenig, yeah. i want to use it to create a virtual command line system on my windows box cuz i cant stand cygwin
[01:31] <rollerskatejamms> but my windows partition only has 15gb
[01:31] <brylie> rookiehwm, Audacious can be installed via Synaptic
[01:32] <chamunks> anyone know about setting file permissions for /var/www/
[01:32] <chamunks> Pls its a bit urgent
[01:32] <bruenig> chamunks, I know about setting permissions in general, what do you want to do
[01:32] <rookiehwm> brylie, thanks, i'll check it out
[01:33] <chamunks> bruenig, well im trying to give access to me and my friend who both admin my website
[01:33] <hammedhaaret> Hi. wanted to know if there's an app  that does the same as wine, but with Mac .dmg files?   came to think of it when i wanted to try out http://www.plasmapong.com/  ....and though that since OSX is openGL too it would probably be easier to emulate that.  can anybody help? thx
[01:33] <lllllll> It looks like I'm pinging google OK. Does the terminal usually do it repeatedly if you just enter "ping google.com"?
[01:33] <bruenig> chamunks, just make sure you are both part of the www-data group or whatever it is and make sure that group has rw
[01:33] <brylie> rookiehwm, Audacious is more a straightforward media player than a music manager. It has last.fm support too.
[01:33] <yuzef-aron> hello
[01:33] <chamunks> bruenig, and i figured adding us both to the same groups and recursively giving him and the group we were both in 774
[01:34] <lllllll> The icon near the clock in the top right always told me I was connected to the network and could find the servers etc. ok
[01:34] <yuzef-aron> im haveing a keyring problem
[01:34] <bruenig> chamunks, yeah, was there a problem there?
[01:34] <gnomefreak> lllllll: yes thats normal you can stop it using ctrl+c
[01:34] <Chicory> In Evolution, where do I enter the password for my e-mail account?
[01:34] <chamunks> bruenig, well now you know what i was trying to do my entire site http://void11.com is having some issues now lol
[01:34] <chamunks> bruenig, as you can see lol
[01:34] <Chicory> Seriously, I can't seem to find the field anywhere, and for some reason the documentation finds it readily apparent.
[01:34] <soundray> LinTux: still here?
[01:35] <LinTux> me still here, this ax25 stuff driving me mad
[01:35] <soundray> LinTux: have you seen http://www.qbjnet.com/packet.html ?
[01:35] <lllllll> Synaptic doesn't allow for a automatic proxy configuration script's URL to be put in
[01:35] <brylie> Chicory, you might enter the password when you check your e-mail
[01:36] <bruenig> chamunks, I have never had or messed with a website, perhaps you need 775? I know dirs need executable to operate correctly, perhaps that is the same for the site?
[01:36] <Chicory> Er, in Evolution.
[01:36] <skel> heheh.. gmail is "beta" right?
[01:36] <LinTux> Soundray: you are a diamond
[01:36] <lllllll> my connections are still being refused when trying to download repository indexes >:(
[01:36] <gnomefreak> skel: no
[01:37] <hammedhaaret> Hi again. wanted to know if there's an app  that does the same as wine, but with Mac .dmg files?   came to think of it when i wanted to try out http://www.plasmapong.com/  ....and though that since OSX is openGL too it would probably be easier to emulate that.  can anybody help? thx
[01:37] <chamunks> bruenig, well the main index.php file used to only have 644
[01:37] <gnomefreak> skel: it was released and made public. please ask offtopic questions in #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:37] <bruenig> chamunks, 664 maybe?
[01:37] <SillyZ> question, running an intel core duo here 2 x 1.86ghz ... which kernel am I going to see the best performance with? smp or non-smp?
[01:37] <skel> gnomefreak: really? my gmail says "beta" next to it. I'll leave it out of #ubuntu though.. thanks for the misinformation =] 
[01:37] <Kirsch_> hey guys, i need to copy contents from /dev/hda1 to /dev/hdb1 (over 200GB) what's the best way to copy it knowing that it is verified and the dates and such are preserved?
[01:37] <Chicory> Right, it's "beta", but gmail?
[01:37] <PurpZeY> IreClan: I believe so w/ proper codecs.
[01:38] <Chicory> Gmail worked on evolution just a bit ago on my other computer.
[01:38] <bruenig> Kirsch_, dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/dev/hdb1
[01:38] <Ireclan> PurpZey: Yeah, but what codec? No one knows....
[01:38] <skel> all I was going to say was there's no where to submit bugs that I can find after digging around.. if it truly is a "beta"
[01:39] <soundray> lllllll: you can make proxy settings in /etc/apt/apt.conf.  Read man apt.conf to see what you need to do.
[01:39] <Kirsch_> i can't do it by partition like that, i need to do it by file
[01:39] <brylie> skel, beta just means that the developers [with or without community support]  are still working out bugs
[01:39] <Kirsch_> they file size is different and i'm goign to a raid drive (/dev/md0)
[01:40] <lllllll> Ok, I'll have a look at that
[01:40] <skel> brylie: I think you might want to lookup the definition of beta =] 
[01:40] <RoAkSoAx> lllllll, or do this in a console: export http_proxy=http://yourproxy:port/
[01:40] <brylie> skel http://mail.google.com/support/bin/request.py
[01:41] <Narada> i'm getting this: ./RealPlayer10GOLD.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory; any idea?
[01:41] <salak> where does apt-get cache stocks the packages??
[01:41] <dzer0> hello
[01:41] <soundray> salak: /var/cache/apt/archives/
[01:41] <salak> hello
[01:41] <gnomefreak> salak: what do you mean stocks?
[01:41] <BigMac> Is there a way to set it so that all users can read and write files in a folder and its sub dirs?
[01:41] <gnomefreak> salak: apt-cache reads packages from the repos you have enabled
[01:41] <salak> dake schn
[01:42] <soundray> salak: gern
[01:42] <cinvoke> im having trouble starting enlightenment, help please..............
[01:42] <gnomefreak> salak: when you download using apt-get it saves them to /var/cache/apt/archives
[01:42] <dzer0> my question is not necessarily directly about ubuntu, but it's directly related
[01:42] <bruenig> !ask | dzer0
[01:42] <ubotu> dzer0: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:42] <chamunks> bruenig, ok umm heres another stupid issue when i was trying to restore from my backup that i created it only copied some of the files and theres hundreds of directories and files in this folder
[01:42] <bruenig> !enter | dzer0
[01:42] <ubotu> dzer0: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[01:43] <gnomefreak> cinvoke: choose it from gdm/kdm/xdm (if you built it yourself there are instructions on how to add it to gdm/kdm/so on
[01:43] <salak> gnomefreak soundray :does apt-get also keep the configurations of those packages.
[01:43] <bruenig> chamunks, don't know how you did it, so it is hard to determine why
[01:43] <gnomefreak> salak: ~/ and /etc have the confi files
[01:43] <chamunks> its just a big mud pie of stupid permissions errors everywhere
[01:43] <brylie> skel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_release_cycle#Beta
[01:43] <cinvoke> gnomefreak: ok ill try that
[01:44] <gnomefreak> brylie: stop now
[01:44] <soundray> salak: no. Default configuration files are stored inside the .deb files
[01:44] <salak> thanks guys
[01:44] <gnomefreak> brylie: i muted him for being offtopic please stay on topic
[01:44] <chamunks> bruenig, i just used mv -f /var/wwwbkp/www/ /var/
[01:44] <PhantasyHawk> can someone send the !dvd or what have you my way
[01:44] <bruenig> chamunks, seems like it should work assuming you were root and whatnot
[01:44] <cinvoke> gnomefreak: where is gdm?
[01:45] <bruenig> PhantasyHawk, do /msg ubotu dvd
[01:45] <gnomefreak> !dvd > PhantasyHawk
[01:45] <brylie> mainly says that beta is early release.. gnomefreak most of the software people are asking for support on it #ubuntu is beta.. I don't agree that 'beta' is off topic
[01:45] <gnomefreak> PhantasyHawk: in your pm
[01:45] <chamunks> bruenig, i was using root for some reason it gave me an error let me see if i can find it
[01:45] <dzer0> basically, I have an ubuntu server that I was using in my LAN for file serving to my other computers. I got a new printer (HP LaserJet 1020) and hooked that up. It didn't work until I followed a guide to install it. One of the steps was flashing a new firmware on to it. The printer worked fine in ubuntu on my server after that, but now my server is no longer with me, and my printer refuses to work on my windows box. Is there any way to fix 
[01:45] <PhantasyHawk> Thank you, bruenig and gnomefreak
[01:45] <gnomefreak> PhantasyHawk: yw
[01:45] <gnomefreak> brylie: gmail beta is way offtopic
[01:45] <gnomefreak> now you are mutitng for 10 minutes as well
[01:45] <gnomefreak> muted*
[01:46] <dzer0> basically, I have an ubuntu server that I was using in my LAN for file serving to my other computers. I got a new printer (HP LaserJet 1020) and hooked that up.

The printer worked fine in ubuntu on my server after that, but now my server is no longer with me, and my printer refuses to work on my windows box.
[01:46] <dzer0>  Is there any way to fix it i.e. something to flash the original firmware back on to it or something? I really would like to get it working again. (sorry but I had to use enter, I was at the character limit)
[01:46] <chamunks> bruenig, mv: cannot overwrite directory /var/www/forum
[01:46] <clsk> hm I'm trying to set a dual-boot system with ubuntu and vista. Would I need the alternate desktop cd for that?
[01:46] <clsk> Also I'm trying to setup a fat32 partition to share with both OSs.
[01:47] <cinvoke> where can i find GDM ?
[01:47] <chamunks> bruenig, would you be kewl with taking a look at my session ill pastebin it for you if you will
[01:47] <soundray> dzer0: was the firmware you flashed unofficial in some way?
[01:47] <PriceChild> clsk, desktop cd "should" do it
[01:47] <icf7> clsk: no, the Desktop CD configures that automatically
[01:47] <PurpZeY> clsk: Vista does not like to play with ubuntu
[01:47] <RoAkSoAx> cinvoke, /etc/gdm
[01:47] <cinvoke> roaksoax:  Thx
[01:47] <dzer0> soundray: I believe so, it was called foo2zjs, and it was the only way to get the printer to work on ubuntu
[01:47] <bruenig> chamunks, I suppose
[01:48] <bruenig> chamunks, you should learn how to use rsync, it is good for backs up such as that
[01:48] <salak> my sound control buttns on the keyboard just started to control microphone input and wont control the speakers. how can i reconfigure it ???
[01:48] <chamunks> bruenig, i was actually wondering if rsync would be able to syncronize these two directories so idont have to manually compare hundreds of directories
[01:49] <bruenig> chamunks, yes it can
[01:49] <lllllll> soundray: where is 'man apt.conf'?
[01:49] <clsk> PurpZeY: What do you mean exactly?
[01:49] <bruenig> lllllll, type that into the terminal
[01:49] <lllllll> aaahh, cheers
[01:49] <cinvoke> roaksoax:  How do i change desktop managers in gdm.ocnf
[01:50] <soundray> dzer0: I see... the printer firmware is non-permanent. Windows should upload its own when you configure the printer there.
[01:50] <Narada> how do you get real player support in firefox in ubuntu
[01:50] <dzer0> soundray unfortunately windows just plain won't see the printer
[01:50] <zirko> Hi, can somebody explain me what's the diference between using fglrx + XGL and radeon + AIGLX to run beryl?
[01:50] <liquiddoom> After looking at setting up an NAT by hand, I really think it would better in my case to have an interface for it... know of any packages that would work (aside from X-based ones)?
[01:51] <soundray> dzer0: have you gone through HP's online troubleshooting advice?
[01:51] <salak> my sound control buttns on the keyboard just started to control microphone input and wont control the speakers. how can i reconfigure it ???
[01:51] <SillyZ> ok heres one.... i do a ./configure , and Im getting Compiler cannot create executables?
[01:51] <chamunks> bruenig, ok lets look into that in a few mins
[01:51] <bruenig> Narada, sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer && sudo apt-get remove totem-mozilla
[01:51] <timmers> Anyone have any luck getting Adobe Photoshop working without buying crossover office?
[01:52] <jrib> SillyZ: install build-essential
[01:52] <ralph> i'm having problems with apache2 in trying to setup my webserver to point to my php modules
[01:52] <chamunks> bruenig, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23991/  im sure thats more just bloat than it is useful though
[01:52] <SillyZ> thanks jrib
[01:52] <dzer0> soundray yes, and I've tried calling them...they wanted to charge me $15 :/
[01:52] <gnomefreak> timmers: try in wine but i doubt it will run in wine
[01:52] <timmers> It hasn't
[01:52] <soundray> dzer0: what a ripoff
[01:52] <bruenig> timmers, I would imagine that if you could get the portable version of it that people hack up, you could wine that, I think I read that somewhere, the first part is probably the hardest
[01:52] <gnomefreak> timmers: than without running windows in vmware you will nee crossover
[01:53] <gnomefreak> need
[01:53] <Narada> bruenig: awesome; works; thanks
[01:53] <soundray> dzer0: sorry, I think you will need to check out a more Windows oriented channel then -- ##windows
[01:53] <Narada> bruenig: wait; spoke too soon
[01:54] <Narada> bruenig: it plays sound; but no video
[01:54] <bruenig> chamunks, not sure, perhaps you should have rm -rf /var/www before moving over the backup
[01:54] <bruenig> Narada, link?
[01:54] <soundray> dzer0: maybe exclude USB problems first.
[01:54] <Narada> bruenig: go to news.bbc.co.uk and click on "Man breaks hot dog record" on middle right.
[01:54] <Tb0n3> beryl fucked up and won't load properly, title bars wont show up for apps and the window manager isn't working right
[01:54] <cinvoke> gnomefreak: how do i change to enlightenment from gdm?
[01:55] <soundray> !language | Tb0n3
[01:55] <ubotu> Tb0n3: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[01:55] <gnomefreak> Tb0n3: please watch your language
[01:55] <gnomefreak> cinvoke: gdm is the log in screen
[01:55] <Narada> bruenig: or anything from bbc
[01:55] <Tb0n3> beryl messed up and won't load properly, title bars wont show up for apps and the window manager isn't working right
[01:55] <gnomefreak> cinvoke: log out on the log in screen click on sessions and choose enlightenment
[01:55] <bruenig> Narada, I have video on the hot dog video
[01:55] <chamunks> bruenig, that could have been an issue.  Though since the damage is done is there any way i can rsync these two directories /var/wwwbkp/www   and /var/www/  while retaining the original permissions?
[01:55] <Narada> bruenig: i tried installing real player gold free for linux; but it complains about a missing library
[01:55] <gnomefreak> Tb0n3: did you try in #ubuntu-effects?
[01:55] <cinvoke> gnomefreak: o
[01:55] <cinvoke> gnomefreak: thx
[01:55] <Narada> bruenig: hmm strange what to do?
[01:56] <gnomefreak> cinvoke: yw
[01:56] <soundray> Narada: what missing library?
[01:56] <Narada> soundray: ./RealPlayer10GOLD.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[01:56] <bruenig> chamunks, I really haven't done much of that kind of stuff, there probably is though, just need to read some docs or see if someone else more knowing than I can help
[01:57] <gnomefreak> Narada: did you install libstdc
[01:57] <hammedhaaret> Hi again. wanted to know if there's an app  that does the same as wine, but with Mac .dmg files?   came to think of it when i wanted to try out http://www.plasmapong.com/  ....and though that since OSX is openGL too it would probably be easier to emulate that.  can anybody help? thx
[01:57] <gnomefreak> ++5-dev
[01:57] <Narada> is that the pkg name?  no; i will try now
[01:57] <bruenig> the mplayer plugin should work, it is working here
[01:57] <gnomefreak> Narada: ill get you the exact name in a sec
[01:57] <Narada> bruenig: not even on a fresh firefox profile
[01:57] <soundray> Narada: the package name is libstdc++5
[01:57] <Narada> gnomefreak: kk
[01:57] <no_arms> libgtk
[01:57] <soundray> Narada: you're not on 64 bits, are you?
[01:57] <bruenig> Narada, maybe you don't have it configured correctly, when it starts up with the audio right click on it and configure and change the video output option
[01:58] <chamunks> bruenig, yeah this data is pretty important im hoping someone can give me a pretty foolproof way to do it i dont want to test my knowledge when im working with my only copy of this data
[01:58] <Narada> soundray: hmm it installs gcc-3.3-base as well; strange
[01:58] <gnomefreak> libstdc++5-3.3-dev and libstdc++5 Narada
[01:58] <soundray> Narada: that's fine
[01:58] <aspro> hammedhaaret: I don't believe there is, though if you are on a PPC computer there is MacOnLinux
[01:58] <bruenig> chamunks, probably should have gone with cp rather than mv, not that it helps now
[01:58] <gnomefreak> Narada: im fairly sure with that lib. its in the -dev package but i dont rmemeber offhand
[01:58] <soundray> Narada: btw, I had bad audio with realplayer. mozilla-mplayer works better for me.
[01:59] <Narada> bruenig: which did you pick; windows media player or real?
[01:59] <Toyd> freenode staffers trying to limit our freedom come to  #macosx-gay  and support us please
[01:59] <chamunks> bruenig, yeah that was my idiot mistake :S I realised what i was doing when it was too late
[01:59] <bruenig> Narada, real, when the audio pops up and you get that beige colored box, click on that beige colored box and select configure, mess around with the video output until it works
[02:00] <Narada> doing now
[02:00] <brylie> !operator
[02:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about operator - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:00] <chamunks> anyone know how to cross sync two directories with out overwriting data in either folder its a bit of a life or death

[02:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about op abuse - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:01] <Narada> bruenig: do i have to restart ff everytime i change video output
[02:01] <brylie> gnomefreak I would like to report op abuse.
[02:01] <Rechner-Tester> Hi there! I have the following problem: There are 2 Scsi disks in my System. 1 for Windows, 1 for ubuntu (7.04). I switch my booting OS by selecting a drive in the Bios of my SCSI-Controller as Bootdevice and mark the other one not to spin up (to save enery, noise and to extend the lifetime of the disk). But if i boot ubuntu the unnecessary windows drive will spinup. Any idea how to prevent this?
[02:01] <gnomefreak> brylie: join #ubuntu-ops
[02:01] <bruenig> Narada, no, maybe the video though
[02:01] <Narada> bruenig: what do you have it set to
[02:01] <Narada> bruenig: the option i mean
[02:01] <dzer0> lol...
[02:01] <bruenig> Narada, x11
[02:02] <dzer0> I restarted my computer and now it works soundray
[02:02] <soundray> dzer0: well done
[02:02] <dzer0> I shoulda tried that earlier
[02:03] <dzer0> well thanks anyway for the help
[02:03] <soundray> dzer0: yw
[02:03] <Narada> bruenig: hmm no luck; maybe i need to check my x config; i borrowed it from another machine
[02:03] <Narada> bruenig: unless you know of a way for me to reconfigure X with autodetection and without being asked a million questions
[02:04] <bruenig> Narada, I think it was on xv when I used ubuntu
[02:04] <bruenig> Narada, I don't think such a thing exists in ubuntu, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg is all you got, I wish it had some of those autodetect scripts like some of the other distros that are solid and require no input, but don't think so
[02:05] <J-_> is there a driver that i can use for a xbox controller I made into USB?
[02:05] <peepsalot> anyone know how i can convert an image to pdf?
[02:05] <Narada> bruenig: it clearly knows how to autodetect during installation; i just need to reuse it! :/
[02:06] <bruenig> I don't know, there detection scripts aren't as good as some of the others, I was getting some serious artifacts with their scripts, and none in my new distro
[02:06] <bruenig> their*
[02:06] <soundray> Rechner-Tester: there is no kernel support for spinning down SCSI disk. Linux bypasses your BIOS. Unfortunately, I don't think there is a solution for your problem, unless you patch the kernel.
[02:06] <soundray> disks*
[02:07] <logmein> what up homies!
[02:07] <sleepwalkers> ...hello.
[02:07] <b-dizzle> hey...
[02:07] <logmein> hi
[02:07] <gottatrieit> Hi. I have a major problem but I need help to solve a very simple one.
[02:07] <b-dizzle> lay it on us
[02:07] <logmein> gottatrieit: answer is B
[02:07] <sleepwalkers> I thought the answer was 47.
[02:08] <logmein> X sooo can't equal 47 that is A
[02:08] <rookiehwm> 42!
[02:08] <rookiehwm> it's always 42
[02:08] <rookiehwm> DUH
[02:08] <Rechner-Tester> soundray There is a tool to spindown scsi drives, I'm using this on a server fpr backup drives. But i want linux from spining it up at all. something like execluding the drive from the scanning for scsi device
[02:08] <gottatrieit> In terminal, how do you change the screen size?  I need to use terminal to correct a problem but the command line goes off the screen at the bottom!
[02:08] <mafios0> how to update an obselete package from the internet using apt-get ? , it's ubuntu server
[02:09] <gottatrieit> I can't see to input my next command.
[02:09] <Rechner-Tester> soundray But i want to _prevent_ linux from...
[02:09] <soundray> Rechner-Tester: understand
[02:09] <logmein> gottatrieit: do your command then add | less and press spacebar to scroll through it
[02:09] <Rechner-Tester> :-)
[02:09] <Narada> :(
[02:09] <logmein> gottatrieit: ctrl C kills the command you entered
[02:09] <sleepwalkers> Gottatrieit: Your monitor should have controls to adjust the screen size.
[02:10] <bpds> Has anyone had luck recording from line-in or microphone with Fiesty?
[02:10] <b-dizzle> it's the window, not the sceen sleep
[02:10] <donkeet> anyone good with wireless?
[02:10] <logmein> donkeet: me sorta
[02:10] <b-dizzle> bpds: I have with audacity
[02:10] <soundray> Rechner-Tester: essentially, what you need is *driver* support for what you want.  Some SCSI drivers accept parameters passed via the kernel boot line. The most reliable way to find out is to look at the driver's source code.
[02:10] <Orfeous> still got problem installing nvidia drivers on my ubuntu
[02:10] <logmein> Orfeous: wait a sec I'll help ya
[02:11] <Orfeous> logmein: thank you!
[02:11] <sleepwalkers> If gottatrieit is running Terminal just inside of Gnome... and the window is too big... why not just resize it using the top two corners that are hopefully visible?
[02:11] <enzo> Hi, I'm very new to Ubuntu. How do I save my desktop background? Every time I log out it goes back to the default.
[02:11] <source> can anyone help me i am having trouble with JACK_drvLoad
[02:11] <Rechner-Tester> soundray: lsmod gives me this:
[02:11] <Rechner-Tester> sym53c8xx              74900  2
[02:11] <Rechner-Tester> scsi_transport_spi     25216  1 sym53c8xx
[02:11] <Rechner-Tester> scsi_mod              142348  5 sg,sd_mod,sym53c8xx,scsi_transport_spi,libata
[02:11] <logmein> enzo: never had that problem before
[02:11] <bpds> b-dizzle: I keep getting an error message about the sound device.  I can hear the lin-in input but I can't record it.
[02:11] <enzo> ..and the picture does not save
[02:12] <b-dizzle> hmm...
[02:12] <gottatrieit> sleepwalker: I knew it had to be something simple! lol I tried look thru the man pages and forums, tutorials, etc. for and explanation and couldn't find one.
[02:12] <cinvoke> 
[02:12] <super-6-1> hello i have a wireless porblem can you please help?
[02:12] <Rechner-Tester> sorry for spaming!
[02:12] <donkeet> logmein: ok I am trying to get wireless setup, i have a broadcom chip and it seems to recognise it, however its not displaying any connections
[02:12] <sleepwalkers> Heh so that worked? Yeah, you can resize windows using any of the four corners if for some reason it's larger than your screen.
[02:12] <SillyZ> anyone an expert here with ATI and getting World of warcraft running?
[02:12] <SillyZ> could really use a lil insight
[02:13] <b-dizzle> bpds: sorry but i'm not really sure how to fix that- mine worked out of the box
[02:13] <Rechner-Tester> soundray: modinfo on this modules wasn't very helpfull
[02:13] <gottatrieit> sleepwalker: I am using straight terminal. That's my major problem I'm trying to resolve. I run Dapper on my main machine and downloaded Compiz to play with the screen stuff.
[02:13] <logmein> Orfeous: gerro said he's help you
[02:13] <bpds>  arecord -vv /dev/null shows no volume level even though capture is activated and I switch from microphone to line-in with lo luck
[02:14] <hackle577> does anyone know where i can download the Outlook new email .wav file? I'd like to use it for CheckGmail.
[02:14] <bpds> b-dizzle:  Thanks
[02:14] <logmein> donkeet: use ndiswrapper with the inf and sys files from the correct windows driver for that wireless card
[02:14] <soundray> Rechner-Tester: like I say, you need to read the source. Get linux-source-2.6.20 and read sym53c8xx.c
[02:14] <cinvoke> im currently in the enlightenment , i want to install a different theme. I downloaded a few, and now i dont know how to install them, help please
[02:14] <logmein> donkeet: also blacklist whatever driver it is trying to use, do locate blacklist to find where to add it
[02:15] <Orfeous> logmein: ok :)
[02:15] <donkeet> logmein: ok i have no idea what the output of the blacklist means - im brand new to linux...matter of hours new
[02:15] <Orfeous> Gerro: ready to help me?
[02:15] <Rechner-Tester> soundry okay, thx. Hope this will help. But not tonight, for now i'm going to sleep. Its 2:15 am in germany *g*
[02:16] <Gerro> Orfeous: yeah um is it 64 bit or 32 bit processor?
[02:16] <gottatrieit> Then I downloaded the newer version of nVidia drivers as that's what I have on my Dapper machine.  I can't boot into the screen UI (gdm? -- X-server?)
[02:16] <soundray> Rechner-Tester: yeah, 1:15 here, gute Nacht ;)
[02:16] <b-dizzl1> hey what would you guys say are the min. system reqs. for running virtualbox or vmware on ubuntu?
[02:16] <Orfeous> dont know... intel duo core 2
[02:16] <bpds> Anyone else know how to get recording back in Fiesty?  Edgy worked fine.
[02:16] <Gerro> yep its 32 bit then
[02:16] <Orfeous> ok
[02:16] <Rechner-Tester> soundry: where u from?
[02:16] <scott___> how can i save my session
[02:17] <Orfeous> Gerro: i have tried many things when trying to install this damn drivers.
[02:17] <khermans_> b-dizzl1, depends on the guest you want to run
[02:17] <super-6-1> hello i have a wireless porblem can you please help?
[02:17] <lllllll> Right, this is quite bizarre now. Ubuntu 'sees' my uni network fine. Firefox connects fine. I can ping google etc. fine. Why won't anything *else* connect? I've set up "system>network proxy", the prefs in Synaptic (although I had to do those a little different as you can't put automatic configuration script URLs in there), and administration>network. I still can't get package lists from...
[02:17] <lllllll> ...Synaptic (won't connect), run GAIM (won't connect), or anything else. Firefox didn't work itself for a little while until I played with it and it randomly started connecting. All the way through, the network icon in the top right has been telling me nothing's amiss. It picks up DNS' fine.
[02:17] <soundray> Rechner-Tester: London (originally Nordhessen)
[02:17] <Gerro> Orfeous: yeah I got this script kind of long though, for how to get it working
[02:17] <gottatrieit> I'm fairly new to Linux so I take my time working through the command line stuff.
[02:17] <Orfeous> Gerro: tried envy... tried all different versions of drivers.. tried to play with xorg.conf.. tried installed some packages... etc.
[02:17] <cinvoke> im currently in the enlightenment , i want to install a different theme. I downloaded a few, and now i dont know how to install them, help please
[02:17] <scott___> Im using fiesty Live CD, and want to be able to save my settings and etc. when i restart, how can i do this
[02:18] <lllllll> I think I'm gonna post it in the forum
[02:18] <Gerro> Orfeous: all those don't work, I tried them too
[02:18] <Orfeous> Gerro: why have nvidia got so damn hard to get working.. just like ATI
[02:18] <Gerro> Orfeous: do /join #Gerro I'll post you the script
[02:18] <Gerro> Orfeous: nvidia is much easier than that ati crap
[02:18] <khermans_> scott___, backup your /etc and ~/ folders
[02:18] <soundray> lllllll: that's probably a good idea. Sorry we couldn't help.
[02:18] <Rechner-Tester> soundray Kassel? *g* I#m sitting in berlin, but original im from giessen!
[02:18] <Orfeous> Gerro: i have found it easier with ati :)
[02:19] <Orfeous> just compile some kernel stuff and patch it.. then woila :D
[02:19] <lllllll> don't worry. I'm pretty sure it's the complexities of my uni network. They're a bit suffocating with all the controls they put in
[02:19] <maeth> anybody knows about the bluetooth alsa proyect? that can help me
[02:19] <maeth> ive allready installed everything
[02:19] <soundray> Rechner-Tester: Oberaula
[02:19] <jonathan__> I'm in need of assistance w/ a LTSP setup and a content filter
[02:20] <scott___> can i save my etc and ~ dirs to a NTFS formated hard drive? and how to i reload them when i restart?
[02:20] <jonathan__> I've installed dansguardian but installing this package won't allow my thin clients (booting pxe) to get a dhcp address.
[02:20] <Rechner-Tester> soundray never heared before. Thx and g8
[02:21] <Wiseguy> hey guys, im trying to get my webcam working on my lappy, but for some reason dmesg doesnt show which device it is being assigned too... i can see it is recongized.. on my desktop it defaulted to /dev/video1, but doesnt seem like its the case on my laptop... can anyone give me any ideas where to look?
[02:21] <soundray> Rechner-Tester: bye
[02:21] <internetrr> omg srsly, how do i get snd 2 wrk w/ flash in ff, i need mah you tube!!!!
[02:21] <khermans_> scott___, yes but you must install ntfs-3g and remount the partition as such
[02:21] <gottatrieit> sleepwalker: Can I change the size of the terminal screen by using a command to change the size in pixes or whatever, like 600x800, etc.?
[02:21] <simon__> using the repository servers here in paraguay seems to be slower than using the german ones :D
[02:21] <khermans_> jonathan__, do you know about DRBL ?
[02:21] <scott___> hmm i cant remount the partition. i guess ill use a usb drive. how do i reload all the files when i restart then?
[02:21] <linuxnub> !ubutu webcam
[02:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ubutu webcam - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:22] <logmein> gottatrieit: why not click the full screen option or drag it larger?
[02:22] <khermans_> scott___, copy them over the old ones
[02:22] <logmein> gottatrieit: are you in text mode?
[02:22] <scott___> ok, and that will include everything?
[02:22] <logmein> gottatreit: if so then change your fonts
[02:22] <scott___> including all installed s/w ?
[02:23] <scott___> and drivers, etc. ?
[02:23] <maeth> anybody knows about the bluetooth alsa proyect? that can help me
[02:23] <jonathan__> no I havn't heard of that... is it a package?
[02:23] <gottatrieit> Don't think I can. Yes,log mein , i guess that's what i'm in, I didn't know what to call it. There is absolutely no gui, no mouse usage, etc.
[02:23] <loquitus_of_borg> Hey people. I just installed Apache2 through the synaptics manager, along with PHP5. Why is it that when I try to access a php file thorugh my browser, it tries to download the php script instead of executing it?
[02:23] <khermans_> scott___, the LiveCD is the same as the installer -- it includes the same packages
[02:24] <gottatrieit> Straight text command entry, logmein.
[02:24] <khermans_> loquitus_of_borg, sudo aptitude install libapache2-mod-php5
[02:24] <khermans_> loquitus_of_borg, then enable the php module in the conf file
[02:24] <gottatrieit> user@ubuntu:$ is all that shows on screen, logmein.
[02:25] <kadaz> Majik you here?

[02:25] <TeslaDave> Have some questions with regards to running virtual machines on ubuntu, is vmware good etc and if so what version / type of vmware do i want to use?
[02:25] <loquitus_of_borg> khermans: and where is the conf file? the conf file in /etc/apache2 has 5 lines in it... all commented out
[02:25] <khermans_> TeslaDave, use ubuntu server -- its free
[02:25] <gottatrieit> I'm on my Feisty machine now and using Xchat and it's interface.
[02:25] <kadaz> Iam having boot problems via grub mbr
[02:26] <TeslaDave> khermans ubuntu server runs virtual machines
[02:26] <Jordan_U> TeslaDave, If you want to use vmware use vmware-server from the ubuntu-commercial repository
[02:26] <gottatrieit> logmein: Can the text screen be resized?
[02:27] <Jordan_U> kadaz, Did GRUB get overwritten by windows?
[02:27] <TeslaDave> Jordan_U is that one of the free ones, i'm lloking to be able to run solaris and other os's in ubuntu
[02:27] <kadaz> Iam having boot problems via grub mbr, Iam using supergrub, but no success expect for direct boot via supergrub. On boot up I get an error 15 "file not found"
[02:27] <kadaz> I already used update-grub, but still same error
[02:27] <Jordan_U> TeslaDave, Yes, it requires a serial number but you can get a serial number for free from vmware
[02:28] <khermans_> loquitus_of_borg, http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu704_p6
[02:28] <kadaz> no jordan_u
[02:28] <loquitus_of_borg> khermans: thanks alot. it worked perfectly
[02:28] <kadaz> I enabled ntfs option +rw and it messed the grub mbr
[02:29] <Jordan_U> kadaz, Enabling NTFS rw support should not effect the mbr, how did you enable it?
[02:29] <kadaz> via 3g?
[02:29] <gottatrieit> sleepwalker and logmein: Thanks for the help. I will try them out. I have to leave for a bit, prior commitment. ty
[02:29] <khermans_> kadaz, no not just rw
[02:29] <khermans_> kadaz, type is not ntfs but ntfs-3g
[02:30] <kadaz> thats what i meant
[02:30] <Jordan_U> kadaz, Can you pastbin your /boot/grub/menu.lst ?
[02:30] <kadaz> k
[02:30] <kadaz> how?
[02:30] <kadaz> one on the ph
[02:30] <kadaz> one sec on ph
[02:31] <khermans_> kadaz, sudo aptitude install ntfs-3g, then edit /etc/fstab
[02:31] <Jordan_U> kadaz, khermans_ He is having a problem with GRUB not ntfs-3g, he just thinks that enabling rw support caused his grub problems

[02:34] <Jordan_U> reya276, You probably don't want to install from a .sh file, what are you trying to install?
[02:34] <Shaba1> any advise on how I get it to recognize the pcmcia wireless card in it?
[02:35] <Jordan_U> Shaba1, What chipset is it?
[02:35] <khermans_> Shaba1, modprobe the correct driver, what card model and rev is it?
[02:35] <borg7_> I want to install a content (web) filter for my 2 NIC LTSP, I've tried installing dansguardian... but when I try to boot one of my clients (pxe) it doesn't hand out a DHCP address.
[02:36] <borg7_> khermans _ I havn't heard of that package
[02:36] <fogwar> which ubuntu is recomended? the 6lts or 7?
[02:36] <rouslan> Do I need to change the config in apache or is the default one ok?
[02:36] <khermans_> borg7_, did you check the logs?
[02:36] <reya276> trying to install a game called Vendetta online
[02:37] <Ezep> hey, it's best go from dapper to feisty or begin in dapper?
[02:37] <reya276> why is that a bad thing to do?
[02:37] <rouslan> Ezep: You need to upgrade Edgy first.
[02:37] <khermans_> fogwar, 6.06.1 for stability, 7.04 for feature
[02:37] <dedi> how can i list all running processes?
[02:37] <rouslan> Ezep: I tried, it corrupted the whole OS.
[02:37] <khermans_> reya276, with wine?
[02:37] <TeslaDave> Jordan_U thank you for your help
[02:37] <reya276> no is a linux file
[02:38] <skel> anyone know of a pidgin backport or repo for feisty?
[02:38] <khermans_> dedi, ps aux
[02:38] <Jordan_U> reya276, Applications installed withought the package manager cannot be handled by the package manager
[02:38] <rouslan> Ezep: Upgrading to any new version is not guaranteed.
[02:38] <reya276> or is the version of linux
[02:38] <Ezep> rouslan, oh thanks a lot, cause i have upgrade direct and i had errors
[02:38] <dedi> khermans_: that was it, thanks :)
[02:38] <Jordan_U> skel, There is a .deb for it at getdeb
[02:38] <reya276> ok
[02:38] <khermans_> skel, no but you can compile from source
[02:38] <Ezep> rouslan, so, i must begin in dapper?
[02:38] <Shaba1> any suggestions on teh pcum thing
[02:38] <borg7_> khermans_ do you suggest that package for my LTSP setup?
[02:38] <reya276> so meaning I won't be able to uninstall it
[02:38] <rouslan> Ezep: np, Just backup all of your data because it might screw your whole system up...
[02:39] <skel> Jordan_U: I'll search for it thanks. =] 
[02:39] <khermans_> borg7_, unsure, but Ubuntu Christian Edition used dansguardian i think
[02:39] <rouslan> Ezep: What do you mean, "begin in dapper"?
[02:39] <rouslan> Ezep: Have you already installed Dapper?
[02:39] <Ezep> rouslan, still be in dapper
[02:39] <reya276> can I get that game through the package manager
[02:39] <skel> khermans_: I'll check get debs first, I like to try and keep everything installed as a package if possible

[02:39] <ubotu> subversion: I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[02:39] <Ezep> rouslan, yeah
[02:39] <attic_storm> Has anyone had any experience changing the send to right slick Ubuntu option to Thunderbird and not Evolution?  I changed the preferred settings, but it still tries to open Evolution.  Also, looked in the GNOME Conf Editor with no luck.
[02:39] <borg7_> khermans_ yes ubuntu ce does use it but as I stated it kills my dhcp server on my 2nd nic
[02:39] <skel> khermans_: feels cleaner =P
[02:39] <Ezep> rouslan, it's a server(text) install
[02:39] <linuxnub> !ubotu subversion
[02:39] <ubotu> subversion is an open source application used for revision control. It is sometimes abbreviated to svn in reference to the name of its command line interface. Look here for a Subversion How To on Ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Subversion
[02:39] <Shaba1> sorry pcucia thing iw what I emant
[02:39] <Shaba1> damn
[02:39] <attic_storm> Sorry not "right slick" but "right click".
[02:39] <khermans_> skel, you can use checkinstall to make a deb so you can easily remove it
[02:40] <Shaba1> pcmcia wireless card recognition
[02:40] <rouslan> Ezep: I'm not familiar with txt-based, but you go Dapper->Edgy->Feisty and hopefully it will upgrade with no errors.
[02:40] <khermans_> skel, sudo aptitude install checkinstall, .cd pidgin, /configure, make, sudo checkinstall make install
[02:40] <skel> khermans_: ah cool, thats good to know, is that typically a configure option?
[02:40] <Ezep> rouslan, thanks i will
[02:40] <rouslan> np
[02:40] <skel> khermans_: gotcha =]  thanks
[02:40] <raulh> how do i find out witch version of ubuntu i have? can anyone help? thanks
[02:41] <fireblast_real> hi there!
[02:41] <khermans_> borg7_, check you DHCP logs
[02:41] <fireblast_real> Where do we fill bug reports?
[02:41] <gnomefreak> khermans_: only need to run either make install or checkinstall no need to run both
[02:41] <borg7_> raulh type uname -r in a terminal
[02:41] <rouslan> raulh: Click on System, and "about ubuntu" on the top panel.
[02:41] <cinvoke> how do i install a theme?
[02:41] <pike_> raulh: lsb_release
[02:41] <gnomefreak> !bugs > fireblast_real  (see your pm from ubotu)
[02:41] <fireblast_real> ok thank you
[02:41] <borg7_> khermans_ anything particular I should look for in those logs?
[02:41] <khermans_> rauble, cat /etc/lsb-release
[02:41] <fireblast_real> I'm gonna send a bug report for gnome xchat
[02:41] <gnomefreak> cinvoke: drag and drop it in the theme config window
[02:41] <rouslan> cinvoke: I recommend beryl+emerald themes, but you do it in System-Preferences.
[02:41] <Terzo> I was trying to get my 1440x900 resolution to show up in screen resolutions using dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but when I get to the part about selecting monitor resolution, I can't select 1400x900...when I press enter, it just skips to the next page; how do i select the resolution?
[02:42] <khermans_> fireblast_real, launchpad
[02:42] <HP_Administrator> i ahve a problem, but it's kind of a long story, so i'm jsut going to start typing, anyone free?
[02:42] <Jordan_U> Terzo, Use the space bar
[02:42] <cinvoke> thanks for help gnomefreak and rouslan
[02:42] <attic_storm> Sorry guys have to go will ask again later.  Have a great nigh and end of the Lords day.
[02:42] <HP_Administrator> z
[02:42] <raulh> ok if anyone could help me out on finding out witch verison of ubuntu im runing on can you please whisper to much text in one channel = me confused
[02:42] <Tom47> HP_Administrator: why not put t up in ubuntu forums or paste and let folk look at it there
[02:42] <rouslan> cinvoke: The regular themes are nothing compared to beryl and emerald themes.
[02:42] <kadaz> jordan_u how to pastebin?
[02:42] <Pelo> Terzo, once you'Ve finihe with the xserver reconfigure,   go and edit xorg.conf manualy and add the extra resolutions you need
[02:42] <aroo> Does GNOME have any cpu temperature monitoring apps/applets?
[02:42] <Jordan_U> !paste | kadaz
[02:43] <ubotu> kadaz: 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)
[02:43] <khermans_> borg7_, probably a reason why dhcpd is erroring out
[02:43] <HP_Administrator> alrighty, isn';t this channel for help to though?
[02:43] <rouslan> cinvoke: You should check them out. They were much better than the basic Ubuntu ones.
[02:43] <HP_Administrator> too*
[02:43] <borg7_> aroo superkaramba is awesome for KDE
[02:43] <Pelo> aroo, yes it does check here for how to enable sensors and stuff   http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty
[02:43] <gnomefreak> HP_Administrator: ask your question please
[02:43] <borg7_> thanks khermans_
[02:43] <Tom47> HP_Administrator: yes but not a great place o put long stories and choke up help others are getting
[02:43] <khermans_> aroo, yeah cpu frequency applet

[02:44] <ubotu> Tom47: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[02:44] <fogwar> hey anyone... which ubuntu is more recommended, the 6lts or 7
[02:44] <rapid> whats the opensshd package called?
[02:44] <liquiddoom> fogwar: Depends on what you need
[02:45] <khermans_> gnomefreak, no you need to pass make install to checkinstall as options
[02:45] <khermans_> checkinstall -D make install
[02:45] <cinvoke> rouslan: i downloaded aphex, cronos, cyrus, shade,ethech_hydro, and many others
[02:45] <AnRkey> hi al
[02:45] <AnRkey> all
[02:45] <gnomefreak> fogwar: is it for personal use?
[02:45] <raulh> can anyone help me download sun java for ubuntu linux? theres a problem my CD i used is a bit old and i don't know my verison of ubuntu if anyone could help me find out witch version im on itll be great please private message me.
[02:45] <Pelo> fogwar, 7.04 is the current release go for that
[02:45] <AnRkey>  :d
[02:45] <reya276> so is that a no on the .sh install?
[02:45] <rapid> or in other words can someone tell me how to install sshd
[02:45] <khermans_> rapid, openssh-server
[02:45] <Shaba1> hello any suggestions
[02:45] <fogwar> liquiddoom: yes, personal, but what am i losing by not choosing one or other?
[02:45] <rapid> thanks
[02:45] <AnRkey> does anyone know why Ubuntu uses dash instead of bash?
[02:45] <Shaba1> any advise on how I get it to recognize the pcmcia wireless card in it?
[02:45] <rapid> khermans_ merci
[02:45] <chamunks> bruenig, on second hand do you happen to know how to assign dual ownership and leave the group and everyone else alone??
[02:45] <cinvoke> rouslan: but they are zipped, so after i decompress, im not sure what to do with them
[02:45] <PriceChild> raulh, did you not read the link ubotu gave you?
[02:45] <khermans_> rapid, you can find the package name any binary is in by searching packages.ubuntu.com
[02:45] <rookiehwm> fogwar, just go with 7.04, it's purty.
[02:46] <Pelo> fogwar, unlike windows ubuntu has a new and improved release every 6 months,  hence the multiple versions available
[02:46] <liquiddoom> fogwar: Really, the newer version is better
[02:46] <chamunks> bruenig, or add two groups to access the same section of files
[02:46] <fogwar> liquiddoom: badass... i figured it was common sense, but ya nevr kno
[02:46] <raulh> yes im on it it dosnt tell me what version of ubuntu i have, so therefor i cant download a verision of sunjava sorry if im being a total idiot by missing something
[02:46] <gnomefreak> khermans_: checkinstall does everything for you except install the .deb use the -d or -D options (cant rmeember what one it is) or use dpkg -i but by running both the last one overwrites things that the first one set
[02:46] <liquiddoom> fogwar: 7.04 is just so much nicer and easier to use
[02:46] <Jordan_U> reya276, If that is the only thing available then cd to the directory it is in in the terminal and run ./whatever.sh
[02:47] <kadaz> Jordan_U did you get my pastebin?
[02:47] <gnomefreak> raulh: lsb_release -a in terminal will tell you
[02:47] <khermans_> gnomefreak, yes i already know this and my command reflected the correct installation method, it did not suggest to make install twice
[02:47] <Jordan_U> kadaz, Yes
[02:47] <reya276> yeah but that is the issue I'm trying to do that but it says "Can't open ./vendetta-linux-x-installer.sh"
[02:47] <kadaz> whenever your read
[02:47] <kadaz> k
[02:47] <raulh> umm how do i do that lol im new to irc
[02:47] <Pelo> raulh,menu > system > admin > syatem monitor  first tab
[02:47] <raulh> thank you all
[02:47] <reya276> right now the file is in my home directory
[02:48] <Pelo> reya276, sudo chmod 755  /path/file
[02:49] <raulh> Pelo: first tab is proccesses =0?
[02:49] <gnomefreak> khermans_: my point == make install will overwrite files that were made/changed when using checkinstall. if the user needs those files unchanged running make install isnt good since it starts from hte begiining (the time you ran checkinstall)
[02:49] <minerale> How do I get the windows codecs?
[02:49] <lek> question booting up ubuntu, ubuntu will leave the bootscreen and comes into the text-boot-menu in the root prompt. I have to exit that to further load ubuntu. How do I avoid that and boot up in one go?
[02:50] <Jordan_U> !w32codecs | minerale
[02:50] <ubotu> minerale: Seveas has a popular 3rd party repository for several packages, including the win32 codecs: see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - See also !Codecs
[02:50] <khermans_> gnomefreak, i dont understand what your point is -- "make install" are arguments to checkinstall
[02:50] <gnomefreak> !w32codecs | minerale
[02:50] <Pelo> raulh,  then you do not have fiesty taht is for sure , I'm not quite sure how to get your the version on prior ones
[02:50] <khermans_> gnomefreak, they are not to be run separately
[02:50] <cinvoke> gnomefreak: i decompressed one of the themes, and now i have a bunch of files.  im not sure what to drag into theme config,
[02:50] <khermans_> gnomefreak, the correct command is "checkinstall -D make install"
[02:50] <gnomefreak> khermans_: no its not there are options. running make install seperately from checkinstall should ask you the same questions over again
[02:50] <raulh> oo lol im d00000mmmmmeddd
[02:51] <raulh> i think its i386 not sure
[02:51] <Jordan_U> cinvoke, Drag the *compressed* file into the preferences
[02:51] <Pelo> raulh, you are not doomed,
[02:51] <reya276> nope is says cannot access the file
[02:51] <Pelo> raulh,  what does uname -r tell you ?
[02:51] <khermans_> gnomefreak, so you must have misread my command then, check your IRC terminal
[02:51] <reya276> sudo chmod 755 ./vendetta-linux-x-installer.sh
[02:51] <raulh> my what? sorry i don't know this irc server commands
[02:51] <raulh> im used to Mirc windows irc client lol
[02:51] <khermans_> gnomefreak, my installation method was correct
[02:52] <Pelo> raulh,   not a irc command,   open the ubuntu terminal and type  uname -r
[02:52] <khermans_> raulh, you can find many xchat howto's online
[02:52] <gnomefreak> khermans_: checking on the make install parameter since i dont remember it being there. in edgy
[02:52] <raulh> witch terminal sorry haha
[02:52] <raulh> ooh im using Gaim =p
[02:52] <khermans_> gnomefreak, it is definitely htere
[02:52] <khermans_> gnomefreak, here is a reference for you
[02:52] <khermans_> http://www.falkotimme.com/howtos/checkinstall/index.php
[02:52] <Pelo> raulh, menu > applications > accessories > terminal
[02:52] <LjL> AnRkey: it only uses it for scripts, the user shell is still bash. it does because it's faster.
[02:52] <Fathefner> Hello I need an ATI Radeon 9200PRO driver
[02:52] <khermans_> gnomefreak, and yes, it also existed in edgy
[02:53] <gnomefreak> khermans_: please read the help page the -D is to make a debian package
[02:53] <Stoffer> so...I went to System -> Admisintration -> windows wireless drivers, and tried to install a windows driver for my wireless card.  But after I selected the .inf and hit install, nothing showed up in the box to the left.... anyone here that could troubleshoot that with me?
[02:53] <rogue780|mythsrv> when I try to use gcc I get the following error: "gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directory" can someone help me please?
[02:53] <gnomefreak> khermans_: no other parameters needed
[02:53] <khermans_> gnomefreak, yes it is
[02:53] <Pelo> raulh, do you still have the cd you used to install ubuntu with ?
[02:53] <cinvoke> list
[02:53] <raulh> pelo it says 2.6.17-10-generic
[02:53] <raulh> oh i downloaded it Pelo off the site
[02:53] <raulh> a while back
[02:53] <rogue780|mythsrv> is there something special I need to do to compile c++ code with gcc?
[02:53] <AnRkey> LjL how compatible is it with bash?
[02:53] <raulh> good long while
[02:54] <Jordan_U> kadaz, Are you booted into Ubuntu right now?
[02:54] <cinvoke> i was told to drag a compressed  to preferences, but not sure what preferences
[02:54] <Paddy_EIRE> !vista
[02:54] <kadaz> yes
[02:54] <LjL> AnRkey: it respects the POSIX specs, but it doesn't implement most bashisms.
[02:54] <ubotu> vista is the new operating system by the evil overlords from Redmond. For more information, see http://www.badvista.org
[02:54] <LjL> !dash | AnRkey
[02:54] <ubotu> AnRkey: /bin/sh links to the DASH shell in Ubuntu Edgy (6.10). Since DASH is not 100% compatible with the BASH shell, some scripts might break. You can make scripts execute using BASH by changing the first line of the script to  #! /bin/bash 
[02:54] <Pelo> raulh,  putting the cd in will mount it to your dsktop and you can read the name of the version in the name of the cd ,  but I can tell from your kernel that you are running   Edgy  6.10
[02:54] <Paddy_EIRE> !grub | Paddy_EIRE
[02:54] <kadaz> Jordan_U yes I booted using supergrub
[02:55] <khermans_> gnomefreak, are you sure "make install" does not also install the DEB?
[02:55] <Terzo> after I've edited screen resolution with xorg.conf, will I need to restart to make the new resolutions available?
[02:55] <Pelo> raulh, I donT' take private msg please talk to me in the main channel
[02:55] <Jordan_U> kadaz, Ok, run "sudo grub" from a terminal
[02:55] <raulh>  Edgy  6.10 so i should look for a sun java for edgy?
[02:55] <kadaz> ok
[02:55] <kadaz> k
[02:55] <Jordan_U> kadaz, Do you have just one drive and is Ubuntu on the first partition?
[02:55] <Pelo> Terzo,  you'll need to restart X at least   ctrl alt backspace
[02:55] <Pelo> raulh,  yes
[02:55] <raulh> ok thank you so much!
[02:55] <gnomefreak> khermans_: i didnt say that what i said is its not needed and no i dont believe it does. makeinstall doesnt make a deb it just installs package. read checkinstall --help
[02:55] <Jordan_U> !java | raulh
[02:55] <ubotu> raulh: 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
[02:55] <AnRkey> LjL, I think that in my case the easiest way to fix my problems is to change the path at the top of each of my scripts to use bash
[02:56] <Fathefner> Hello I need an ATI Radeon 9200PRO driver
[02:56] <kadaz> one hard drive three linux partitions

[03:07] <PanzerMKZ> could you do a dist upgrade from 6.06 to 7.04 straight
[03:07] <bruenig> PanzerMKZ, no
[03:07] <PanzerMKZ> or do you have to upgrade to 6.10
[03:08] <eh> what the?
[03:08] <liquiddoom> PanzerMKZ: You have to go in order
[03:08] <kadaz> Jordon_U waiting at grub prompt

[03:09] <Fathefner> well how to i get my restricted driver manager to have the option to install the ATIdriver
[03:09] <eh> jackthehomeless: try the rear pink input instead of the front.
[03:09] <Jordan_U> Fathefner, Just use these instructions, they do the same thing, just more steps
[03:09] <Jordan_U> !ati | Fathefner
[03:10] <Fathefner> Jordan_U
[03:10] <jackthehomeless> eh,  thats what im using, its still not working
[03:10] <nils_> Jordan: Oh boy. If I understand, that means I have to download an archived copy of VM Workstation, extract vmware-tools from it, mount them in VM Player, disable IPv6 temporarily, install them, reboot, and reenable IPv6 again. Wow. Well, I'll give it a go. Thanks!
[03:10] <Fathefner> Jordan_U, its a pain in the butt to do it the other way
[03:10] <ubotu> Fathefner: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:10] <jackthehomeless> eh,  when i use sound recorder it just plays static and none of the sound comes through

[03:11] <eh> click on the speaker icon
[03:11] <jackthehomeless> eh,  gotcha
[03:11] <brian1> random question, but did anybody actually why the dell unbuntu?
[03:11] <eh> right click on it
[03:11] <jackthehomeless> brian1, actually, i havent but theres an article on digg written by someone whow did
[03:11] <eh> open volume control
[03:11] <jackthehomeless> eh,  ok
[03:11] <Jordan_U> eh, https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html#id2542844
[03:12] <non|linear> i installed wmp7 and wmp9 in crossover, the sound in wmp7 (and all my other media players) is fine, but the sound in wmp9 has intermittent scratches... installed the latest wmp plugins, could this be an alsa setting or something?
[03:12] <brian1> alright, thanks for the info
[03:12] <eh> unmute front mic and turn it up
[03:12] <Jordan_U> brian1, I am going to today
[03:12] <eh> thx jordan
[03:13] <jackthehomeless> eh, dont have that option actually. just have 3 tabs, playback, recording, options, options is where i choose front or rear
[03:13] <raulh> hey, jordan?
[03:13] <jackthehomeless> eh,  or... line and front
[03:13] <raulh> what did you say i have to activate?
[03:13] <Jordan_U> non|linear, I am willing to bet that it is a crossover problem, you can play all windows media formats natively as long as they aren't DRM'd
[03:13] <brian1> i think the prices are a bit high since its a free OS
[03:13] <agn0stic> ls
[03:13] <agn0stic> ooops
[03:14] <eh> jackthehomeless:
[03:14] <eh> ok
[03:14] <eh> click
[03:14] <jackthehomeless> eh,  under the recording tab all i have is capture and mux, and if i mute one or the other it says my recording settings are invalid in sound recorder
[03:14] <non|linear> Jordan_U: Ok, can you exlain a bit more?  not sure what DRM is or why wmp7 and 9 are diferent.  the only reason i want to use wmp is because of the wow effects etc.
[03:14] <eh> click edit
[03:14] <cinvoke> jordan_u, isnt there a command to unzip, and leave as a .tar   ?????
[03:14] <jackthehomeless> eh,  gotcha

[03:15] <Jordan_U> raulh, Do you have the multiverse repository enabled in System -> Administration -> Software Sources ?
[03:15] <Jordan_U> brian1, It's $50 - $100 cheaper than the same model with Vista
[03:15] <eh> front mic and microhone

[03:16] <eh> click file
[03:16] <jackthehomeless> eh,  im not a noob but the asound.rc file scares me lol
[03:16] <cinvoke> jordan_u,  ok hold on
[03:16] <eh> im a noob though
[03:16] <jackthehomeless> eh, yeah, i get alsa, and oss
[03:16] <Waddledee> Hello there!  I'm having trouble updating to the latest kernel, along with a lot of other people.  Thing is, it sounds like different people are having different problems, and I don't even know what my problem is.  How can I find out?
[03:16] <eh> what are you currently on?
[03:16] <jackthehomeless> eh, cant use oss though as that only permits one source of sound at a time, i need multiple going
[03:17] <raulh> does anyone know if you still need a SHELL for irc "SERVERS" when on linux OS ?
[03:17] <jackthehomeless> eh,  im on alsa
[03:17] <eh> open a terminal and click alsmixer

[03:18] <eh> why isn't there no mic?
[03:19] <jackthehomeless>  eh, dont hav ea clue man, none at all

[03:20] <Jordan_U> !synaptic | raulh

[03:22] <Jordan_U> cinvoke, You can't use Fluxbox themes in Gnome
[03:22] <thomas_> ..
[03:22] <thomas_> oh
[03:22] <thomas_> hmm
[03:22] <thomas_> thats a though one
[03:22] <cinvoke> jordan_u,  i know
[03:22] <thomas_> but what about ubuntu server?
[03:23] <Kazuma> I am installing Java, and have gotten to an OK screen in terminal
[03:23] <raulh> ok thank you jordan. bye
[03:23] <Kazuma> and have no way to click it that i know of
[03:23] <doseryder> I would like to learn how to access network resources in the terminal. For example, in gdm I can simply access a windows network by typing smb://my-laptop in the address bar.  How can I do it in the terminal?
[03:23] <jackthehomeless> thomas_,  well heres another choice, i have a sound blaster audigy card laying around, if i throw that in how do i reconfigure alsa
[03:23] <Jordan_U> cinvoke, Is this a Gnome theme?
[03:23] <cinvoke> jordan_u, isnt there a command to unzip, but leave a file as a tar file???
[03:23] <thomas_> hmm,
[03:24] <Jordan_U> cinvoke, "unzip" should do it, but what will that accomplish?
[03:24] <thomas_> what about the propertise menu? (sry im currently on a windows machine, trying to get ubuntu server to work:S)
[03:24] <theshadow> how can I check the hard drive usage stats?
[03:24] <thomas_> if u can find a linux driver for that card, then u whouls be good
[03:24] <Pelo> theshadow, fourth tab of the system monitor
[03:24] <Waddledee> Pelo: same reason it takes a lot less time to copy the information off a CD than it does to burn one.  Changing data requires a different physical process.
[03:24] <theshadow> Pelo: from the command line?
[03:25] <jackthehomeless> thomas_,  already checked and i have no option on there for microphone, and its annoying. How would i go about getting that driver
[03:25] <cinvoke> jordan_u, that way i could atleast drag the themes in the theme manager,correct?
[03:25] <getisboy> hi. file sharing works fine through another ubuntu box, but i'm having problems accessing it through a windows computer. can anyone help?
[03:25] <tripppy> what burning app is closest to nero?
[03:25] <Jordan_U> cinvoke, No, because it's not a theme made for Gnome
[03:25] <Paddy_EIRE> hey guys im running of a feisty live cd and i am trying to resize my ubuntu install "/" partition to 52gb and leave 20 gb free for vista and a couple of games :) . Although I seem to be getting this error "check filesystem on /dev/sda1 for errors and (if possible) fix them" my ubuntu install and it says "e2fsck: Cannot continue, aborting."
[03:25] <w1ls0n_> Is there a more convenient way of switching color depths than editing xorg.conf and restarting X?
[03:25] <Kazuma> I have installed Java and come to the "Package Configuration" screen ... down at the bottom it shows "OK" ... but I dont know how to click it or anything ... what do i do?
[03:25] <jramsey> i've installed the minicom pkg; where does it appear in the gnome app list? not under applications ... at least i don't see it
[03:25] <Pelo> theshadow,  I don'T know the command,  sorry I just don't remember it   try looking in here   ubugide
[03:25] <phishinphree> anyone know how to disable mDNS on fiesty?
[03:25] <Pelo> theshadow, http://book.opensourceproject.org.cn/distrib/ubuntu/unleashed/
[03:26] <reis> Hello can anyone help me with the Rythmbox... basically my problem is i want to set podcasts to only download or only have like 10 podcasted downloaded. Any way to fix this??? or do you have an alternate?
[03:26] <cinvoke> jordan_u, its a theme for enlightenment.  If i install enlightenment, than i should be able to drag it in an enlightenment session?
[03:26] <doctorow> I would like to permanently disable Slow Keys on Kubuntu Feisty so that it never ever pops up a dialog asking me if I want to turn it on, no matter what keys I hold down
[03:26] <Pelo> Waddledee, but shouldn'T usb 2.0 be 248 mb/s both ways ?
[03:26] <yarddog> i have ubuntu installed on one hdd, and another OS on the other hdd, how can i tell the /dev/... of ubuntu?
[03:26] <doctorow> Is there a way to uninstall Slow Keys so that it's not even on my systems anymore?
[03:27] <Pelo> yarddog, check in gparted ,  the ext3 partition is usualy the ubuntu one
[03:27] <w1ls0n_> doctorow, are you the real cory doctorow?
[03:27] <doctorow> Wilson -- yup!
[03:27] <Waddledee> pelo: the USB transfer may not be the bottleneck.  Your MP3 player may not be able to write the data to its memory that quickly.
[03:27] <doctorow> At least, I'm wearing his underwear and using his computer!
[03:27] <Pelo> Waddledee,  thank you
[03:28] <w1ls0n_> doctorow, i should've known.
[03:28] <Jordan_U>  cinvoke I don't use enlightenment so I don't know, but I would assume so
[03:28] <jramsey> anyone use minicom?
[03:28] <Kazuma> when installing Java, at the Package Manager screen ... how do I hit the OK button?
[03:28] <w1ls0n_> doctorow, that you use ubuntu that is..
[03:28] <Gnea> jramsey: what's your question?
[03:28] <doctorow> w1ls0n, of course!
[03:28] <bruenig> Kazuma, tab
[03:28] <dedi> how can i list in command line the packages which are installed?
[03:28] <Kazuma> thanks
[03:29] <Jordan_U> Kazuma, Hit "apply" ( next to the green check mark )
[03:29] <jramsey> running it; i get jramsey@ubuntu:~$ minicom /dev/tty1
[03:29] <jramsey> minicom: cannot open /dev/tty8: Permission denied
[03:29] <cables> dedi, < dpkg -l | grep ii > I think...

[03:29] <Lebowski> hi everyone, can anyone help me out with a GRUB problem? I'm having XP installed next to ubuntu (ubuntu was installed first) now i am trying to get Grub back up via booting the live cd."root (hd0,0)" "setup (hd0)" - after that last command it tells me it won't mount it? any ideas - feel free to /msg me
[03:29] <etzerd> Hello all
[03:29] <Gnea> jramsey: did you read the manpage to make sure that  you're running it right?
[03:29] <jramsey> am doing that now Gnea txs
[03:29] <doctorow> w1ls0n, though I have to tell you that I'm about ready to tear my hair out over Slow Keys turning on every time I hold down the shift key for 8 secs. I generally hold down the shift key whil eI'm thinking about what to type, fingers poised over the keyboard to start a new sentence. Inspiration strikes, I start typing, and all my keystrokes are stolen by
[03:29] <Gnea> k k
[03:30] <w1ls0n_> doctorow, hehehe.  google says you're screwed :(
[03:30] <doctorow> W1ls0n Slow Keys -- and then I have to minimize the top two windows to find the "Do you want Slow Keys" dialog and turn it off
[03:30] <Gnea> jramsey: if you run it without any arguments, you can configure it while it's running to tell it which device to use
[03:30] <kadaz> Jordon_U
[03:30] <etzerd> I'm updating my system using Automatix2 as I'm chatting with you, but I heard some people said that Automatix can distroyed your system as well. Is it true?
[03:30] <kadaz> busy guy eh
[03:30] <haggard> doctorow: have a look at this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/accessibility/linux/keyboard/keyboard_easy/tuning/tuning_response_gnome.shtml
[03:30] <doctorow> W1ls0n, yeah, I saw that there area ton of open bugs, but I'm wondering if I can just get around them all by just deleting the package
[03:31] <TorvusLinalds> yo, so this is my question:  I got a load of stuff set up in Ubuntu.  I got my wireless Broadcom card sort of working, but it seems kinda flaky...  So i also have a wired connection to my router.  Right now the wireless is working so I have two connections to my router, with two different IP addresses.  I've got this gkrell thing running and now it seems that something strange is happening:  almost all tx data is going via wired, and
[03:31] <TorvusLinalds>  almost all rx data is coming in over wireless.  By "almost" I mean that an occasional pixel is shown on the graph.  So: is this normal/good/bad/whatever?  I guess it might be a good use of the physical resources available, but I don't think we're talking about enough bandwidth to saturate either wired or wireless connections...
[03:31] <jramsey> Gnea, yeah and it really helps to run it with sudo ;)
[03:31] <doctorow> haggard, thanks for that's not it -- I need to change the fact that Slow Keys -- even when disabled -- pops up a dialog if you hold down shift for 8+ secs and asks you if you want it turned on
[03:31] <Gnea> TorvusLinalds: without some sort of load balancer in place, it's pretty useless
[03:32] <kadaz> Jordon_U still here?
[03:32] <haggard> doctorow: ah, i see
[03:32] <Gnea> jramsey: indeed :)
[03:32] <doctorow> haggard, I want to actually remove slow-keys, or at least get rid of the shortcut
[03:32] <TorvusLinalds> gnea: so why is it doing that?
[03:32] <doctorow> haggard, Do you know what package Slow Keys comes with? I was thinking I could just uninstall that
[03:32] <w1ls0n_> doctorow, try finding something that automatically capitalizes the first letter of every sentence instead...
[03:33] <Gnea> TorvusLinalds: because the wireless connection probably got its ip address second, and so the routing table bumped the default route up to prefer the wireless gateway over the wired
[03:33] <gabe> I am trying to install steam in wine , but it says steam could not contact the network
[03:33] <doctorow> W1ls0n, I've been writing with a keyboard since I was 6. I'm 36 now. I am NOT going to stop capitalizing my sentences with the shift key at this point. Might as well try to unlearn how to brush my teeth.
[03:33] <asdf> how do you find your local ip address?
[03:33] <TorvusLinalds> gnea: yes, wireless is on 192.168.1.101, wired on ...100
[03:33] <liquiddoom> asdf: ifconfig
[03:33] <Gnea> TorvusLinalds: i'm refering to the default gateway.
[03:34] <asdf> liquiddoom: I don't see any 192... numbers
[03:34] <asdf> liquidoom: nevermind
[03:34] <haggard> doctorow: i'm confused, why can't you just disable Slow Keys?
[03:34] <asdf> thanks
[03:34] <liquiddoom> asdf: Your IP is listed under "inet addr:"
[03:34] <w1ls0n_> doctorow, nice meeting you.  I'm off to a celebration.
[03:34] <TorvusLinalds> gnea, right, i just mean that the ip numbers show the order in which they were got
[03:35] <jackthehomeless> Hey guys, just wanted to hop back in and say thanks for all the microphone help. Got it working by just switching to the audigy.
[03:35] <Gnea> TorvusLinalds: it's sort of like dialing the same number with a landline and a cellphone at the same time just to make sure that the connection doesn't go down either way - it's expensive and not very intelligent.
[03:35] <Lebowski> Is there anyone that can anyone help me on my Grub problem?
[03:35] <doctorow> haggard, because when I hold down the shift key for 8+ seconds, it pops up a message asking me if I want to enable slow keys -- even if slow keys is disabled. This dialog is broken -- it shows up behind the current window and isn't listed in the alt-tab window list -- and until you hunt it down and click "No" it won't let you type ANYTHING
[03:35] <nils_> K, I'm attempting to install vmware-tools now. "None of the pre-build vmhgfs modules for VMWare-Tools is suitable for your running kernel." "What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [/usr/src/lunux/include] "
[03:36] <Gnea> Lebowski: no problem specified.
[03:36] <darnell> anyone been successful with syncing a treo 650 with ubuntu?
[03:36] <TorvusLinalds> gnea, well, my wireless connection sometimes doesn't work very well...  so i connected my cable.  i guess i should ifdown the wireless if i'm not using it...
[03:36] <doctorow> haggard, I just want to remove whatever package comes Slow Keys comes in
[03:36] <Lebowski> Gnea: i did earlier here it is again :)
[03:36] <Lebowski> hi everyone, can anyone help me out with a GRUB problem? I'm having XP installed next to ubuntu (ubuntu was installed first) now i am trying to get Grub back up via booting the live cd."root (hd0,0)" "setup (hd0)" - after that last command it tells me it won't mount it? any ideas - feel free to /msg me
[03:36] <Tom47> doctorow to disable slowkeys you need to change a setting in gconf
[03:36] <Gnea> TorvusLinalds: right. you might always want to check your wireless configuration and maybe change the channel, there could be some other wireless interference
[03:36] <theshadow> alright, I've tried but I can't find an answer so I will ask again, how can I check the hard drive statistics from the command line?
[03:36] <TorvusLinalds> gnea, but for some reason the network settings thing in gnome doesn't work any more after a colleague messed with it and did some manual settings
[03:37] <Gnea> TorvusLinalds: well gnome sucks anyway
[03:37] <doctorow> Tom47: I don't want to disable Slow Keys. I want to disable the shortcut for turning Slow Keys on. That shortcut will activate EVEN IF Slow Keys is disabled.
[03:37] <Dragnslcr> Anyone know how to setup a printer so that a VMWare guest can access it as a network printer?
[03:37] <getisboy> "I got the following error message when booting ubuntu: "/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off." I'm now in a BusyBox prompt that says (initramfs)
[03:37] <Tom47> doctorow no you can turn it off altogether
[03:37] <TorvusLinalds> gnea, well it might do, but i havent gotten around to changing to something else yet, been busy fixing all the usual crap i have to fix every fucking time i install linux

[03:37] <ubotu> TorvusLinalds: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[03:37] <doctorow> Tom47 Do you know which line?
[03:37] <Gnea> Lebowski: sorry, no /msg, keep it public
[03:38] <Lebowski> sure
[03:38] <Tom47> doctorw if you have not installed it already install confifuration editor from add/remove programs
[03:38] <freemind> hi, the device-order in my raid was mixed during upgrade to feisty, md0 is now sdd,sdb,sdc,sda - should be a,b,c,d - how to fix this with mdadm?
[03:38] <cables> !tab | Tom47
[03:38] <ubotu> Tom47: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[03:38] <Tom47> doctorw yes in configuration editor i do
[03:38] <cables> getisboy, have you tried booting it up again?
[03:38] <doctorow> Tom47 It is not a package. It's part of another package -- and I don't know which one. Searching Synaptic for Slow Keys returns no results
[03:38] <getisboy> cables, yes twice
[03:39] <cables> getisboy, did you make any changes to anything before it happened?
[03:39] <Gnea> Lebowski: you forgot to find stage1
[03:39] <Tom47> doctorow you can allow me to help or refuse its your choice
[03:39] <doctorow> Tom47 Are you a bot?
[03:39] <haggard> doctorow - i believe (although I'm not 100% sure) slow keys is part of gnome-accessibility
[03:39] <Tom47> no
[03:39] <getisboy> cables, i was playing with samba, but i don't think that would cause this
[03:39] <doctorow> Tom47, Well, you're not making much sense. Can you start over?
[03:39] <Gnea> Lebowski: it's: root (hd0,0)  then  find /boot/grub/stage1  then  setup (hd0)
[03:40] <Lebowski> Gnea: thanks a lot, i'll try that
[03:40] <cables> getisboy, did you make a backup of the file?
[03:40] <Tom47> doctorow: do you have Configuration Editor installed?
[03:40] <haggard> doctorow: but i don't think you want to uninstall that
[03:40] <getisboy> cables, yeah
[03:40] <doctorow> Tom47 I don't appear to
[03:40] <cables> getisboy, are you familiar with how to restore that backup, or should I give you the command?
[03:41] <doctorow> Haggard thanks
[03:41] <TorvusLinalds> having said that i think this feisty ubuntu is much much closer to "not bad" than anything i've tried before.... (let me see, slackware circa 1993, suse, corel, mandrake, blablabla over the years, deleted it within a week every time)
[03:41] <Tom47> doctorow: ok then from Add/Remove programs install it
[03:41] <cinvoke> i just tried to drag a theme .tar file into the theme manager, and i get an error.
[03:41] <getisboy> cables, i know the command
[03:41] <cables> cinvoke, perhaps the theme is not valid?
[03:41] <cinvoke> cables: correct
[03:41] <SpudDogg> Does anyone know why all of my Steam windows are blank?  I just get the gray and green boxes with the outlines for text boxes and buttons but no writing.  Help?
[03:42] <yarddog> anyone familiar with hdparm?
[03:42] <getisboy> o shit
[03:42] <Lebowski> Gnea: that seemed to trigger some response, I'll reboot now, thanks again for your help
[03:42] <getisboy> sry
[03:42] <cables> !ohmy | getisboy
[03:42] <ubotu> getisboy: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[03:42] <cinvoke> cables: i cant stand this default gnome desktop anymore, i need somthing a little more minimal.
[03:42] <haggard> doctorow: i have to go, but you might want to skim through here to see if offers any help: http://www.gnome.org/learn/access-guide/2.6/access-guide.html
[03:42] <doctorow> Tom47 Adept says it's installed but it's not in my list of programs -- do you know which menu it lives under? Or how to invoke it from terminal?
[03:42] <nils_> Aw nuts. Googling indicates that the kernel headers aren't there by default, and can downloaded by apt-get. I can't apt-get, since I can't get online. This is getting hairy.
[03:42] <Tom47> Applications > System Tools
[03:43] <cables> cinvoke, try a different theme... I'm sure there are tons of minimal ones on http://gnome-look.org
[03:43] <Gnea> Lebowski: good luck
[03:43] <cables> getisboy, alright, why don't we try restoring that backup.
[03:43] <doctorow> Tom47 I don't have a System Tools -- I'm using Kubuntu. I have  Settings, System and Utilities
[03:43] <cables> getisboy, when you've restored it, just reboot it
[03:43] <minerale> How can I disable the graphical startup (ubuntu logo while the system starts up)
[03:44] <cables> minerale, permanently, or just for one boot?
[03:44] <Tom47> doctorow ah then cannot help you at all
[03:44] <minerale> cables: permanently
[03:44] <haggard> doctorow: try asking in #kubuntu
[03:44] <doctorow> Do you know how to invoke it from the command line?
[03:44] <doctorow> Haggard, thanks! I'll try that
[03:44] <cables> minerale, do you want it gone, or do you just want to have it show the boot screen as well as a description of what's happening?
[03:44] <SpudDogg> Does anyone know why all of my Steam windows are blank?  I just get the gray and green boxes with the outlines for text boxes and buttons but no writing.  Help?
[03:44] <SpudDogg> !steam
[03:44] <ubotu> Steam can be found at: http://www.steampowered.com/
[03:44] <cables> minerale, either way, do alt-f2 then type "gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst"
[03:44] <kadaz> ~ I have an ubuntu bootup error 15 "file not found" I have booted into ubuntu via supergrub. This is my pastebin, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24005/ of main.lst. I have 1 hard drive, 3 linux partitions.
[03:45] <hector> what's the common php extension folder in Ubuntu??
[03:45] <minerale> cables: no, I want it gone, my system does not support it and I only see a blank screen
[03:45] <cables> minerale, okay. Do you have the menu.lst file open?
[03:45] <minerale> cables: yep, O remove something from the kernel line, right?
[03:45] <jramsey> Gnea, would /dev/tty1 be the COM1 out the back of my PC?
[03:45] <cables> minerale, no, that will work, but not well.
[03:45] <cables> minerale, the thing is, any kernel updates will put it back to the original.
[03:45] <cinvoke> How do i uzip a folder with CLI???
[03:46] <cables> minerale, so I want you to find a line that says "defoptions"
[03:46] <cinvoke> How do i uzip a file rather with CLI???
[03:46] <minerale> cables: got it
[03:46] <minerale> cables: it says quiet splash
[03:46] <bullgard4> Calling 'sudo nautilus' in a Gnome terminal, I obtain 'Initializing gnome-mount extension'. Everything seems to work normally. What does this message mean?
[03:46] <spheard> cinvoke:unzip file.zip
[03:46] <Gnea> jramsey: no, /dev/tty# are the virtual terminals used with the alt-F#, a physical *serial* terminal would be /dev/ttyS# and 1 starts with 0, so COM1 is /dev/ttyS0, COM2 is /dev/ttyS1 and so on
[03:46] <cables> minerale, remove splash
[03:46] <cinvoke> its actually a .gz file
[03:46] <cables> minerale, then save and close it
[03:47] <cables> minerale, then open a terminal and type this: sudo grub-update
[03:47] <cinvoke> spheard: its a .gz file
[03:47] <spheard> cinvoke: oh gunzip file.gz
[03:47] <Gnea> jramsey: read this, it'll tell you everything you could possibly want to know: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Serial-HOWTO.html
[03:47] <cinvoke> spheard: thank you
[03:47] <minerale> cables: there's no grub-update
[03:47] <spheard> cinvoke: tar.gz?
[03:47] <jramsey> Gnea, txs
[03:48] <jramsey> Gnea, of course if i could get minicom to show anything but offline it would help!
[03:48] <cinvoke> spheard: yes
[03:48] <gabe> How do I revert to an older version of wine?
[03:48] <hector> i'm trying to configure sqlite on php, I installed the package but no sqlite
[03:48] <cables> minerale, sorry, try sudo update-grub
[03:48] <cinvoke> spheard: its a theme, i want to drag into gnome theme manager
[03:48] <brimiles> what does it mean when i try to run the live cd to install it tells me it can't run HAL and the settings Daemons program wouldn't run, then it basically does next to nothing and does it very slowly
[03:48] <hector> i'm looking for the php extensions folder
[03:49] <Gnea> jramsey: as long as minicom is a) setup correctly and b) you have something plugged into the serial port that's turned on and wired correctly, then it should work
[03:49] <cinvoke> spheard: once again, i get an error.  fiel is invalid
[03:49] <spheard> cinvoke: erm, one sec

[03:49] <jramsey> Gnea, plugged into a windows machine with a null modem cable running hyperterminal just to prove in minicom; set up correctly? good question
[03:49] <Gnea> jramsey: it's been years since i used an external modem (or a modem, for that matter) so you may need to tweak it a bit :)
[03:49] <nitz> If I wanted to delete any files or folder that end with .lck would I use "rm -R *.lck" ?

[03:50] <Gnea> jramsey: nicely done
[03:50] <cables> SpudDogg, I do, and you were also unnecessarily using ubotu to get more attention.
[03:50] <hector> !php
[03:51] <SpudDogg> cables, actually using ubotu the second time was an accident.  I'm sorry
[03:51] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

[03:53] <spheard> cinvoke: tar xzf filename.tar.gz, Id suggest leaving it. If its a broken package its probably going to cause you more trouble than its worth. try installing themes thru the package manager. makes life a lot easier till your a bit more comfortable with proceedings :-)
[03:53] <hector> TorvusLinalds, about my problem with php or my answer to eh about the real player?

[03:55] <Armageddon00> Has anyone here successfully used LaTeX to write chemical equations with the [ce] [/ce]  tags?  I'm sorry if this isn't directly related to ubuntu but i don't know where else to ask
[03:55] <yo2k> hi...
[03:55] <eh> i have downloaded them from add and remove yes
[03:55] <Tom47> d1gital: logout and then chosse gdm using the material in lower laft hand corner of log in screen
[03:56] <spheard> Armageddon00: that looks like xml
[03:56] <hector> eh, I suggest you to use "Add/Remove Programs" to install the codecs
[03:56] <Armageddon00> spheard: Oh, then what are the tags supposed to look like in LaTeX (I believe it is XML based..)
[03:56] <hector> eh, another option is use Automatix2
[03:56] <Kazuma> where can I find anti-aliasing in Ubuntu?
[03:56] <eh> i do use add and remove

[03:57] <TorvusLinalds> hmm, i dunno what happened but now my realplayer sound works....  maybe it's cos of a reboot
[03:57] <spheard> Armageddon00: yes, it is, whats the issue your having?
[03:57] <Aubre> doesn't Automatix make it difficult to upgrade your OS?
[03:57] <DgrMouse> how to i unrar a multiple file rar file?
[03:57] <bruenig> Aubre, yes
[03:57] <Tom47> d1gital: ah ok ..... not sure myself on that one

[03:58] <spheard> Aubre: Automatix is EVIL
[03:58] <hector> Aubre, true
[03:58] <bruenig> !automatix | Aubre
[03:58] <ubotu> Aubre: 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

[03:58] <Kazuma> where can I find anti-aliasing / anisotropic filter / etc settings in Ubuntu?
[03:58] <Aubre> I know that's why I avoided it

[03:58] <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.
[03:58] <Armageddon00> spheard: I'm trying to use LaTeX to write neutralization reactions for my chem course
[03:58] <hector> lol
[03:59] <Aubre> I wouldn't recommend Automatix especially now with Feisty things are so easy now
[03:59] <tnnc> can anyone tell me if the 3D fusion fx 5500 graphic card  works well with ubuntu and beryl thanks for any info
[03:59] <davebsd123> Armageddon00: Sounds like you need to include the package.
[03:59] <spheard> Armageddon00: so what are you trying, whats the error?
[03:59] <hector> LifeHacker does
[03:59] <Aubre> there's a glowing endorsement

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

[04:45] <jontec_> query... has anyone used DeVeDe? It wants to build a 9.7GB image on my HD, but the DVD size is only 4.3/4.7
[04:45] <Azhi_Dahaka> my system is locking up when closing a session... how can i find the issue and fix it?
[04:45] <donkeet> kadaz ok well I seemingly have wireless working, however its not showing and wireless connections - even though i have the router right here
[04:45] <raulh> later and thanks hector!
[04:45] <pistruiata> hello. I istalled apache and I would like to know how can i set foo.homelinux.org  as a link of /var/www    ?
[04:45] <Tom47> IKon partitions in linux are identified a few different ways but most frequently in the form hda1 or hdc3 or something like that
[04:46] <hector> raulh, np
[04:46] <jontec_> (I have the DVD "filled" to 94%)
[04:46] <lunixman> i have one physical drive with atleast 3 partitions. i'd like to know, if i detele one of my partitions and convert it into empty space, will it become free space for my linux partition?
[04:46] <IKon> hmm... i dunno the indentity
[04:46] <hector> HorizonXP, have you install the multimedia codecs?
[04:46] <kadaz> ok, donkeet did you looked at network settings
[04:46] <lunixman> i have a partition with atleast 80 gigs of space, if i convert it to empty space will it be relegated to my linux partition?
[04:46] <Tom47> Ikon right click on the partiton on yr desktop and select proprties
[04:47] <IKon> ok
[04:47] <enzo> Hey, I just installed Ubuntu on my macbook and I'm interested in learning how to program. Can anyone tell me what would be the best language to learn?
[04:47] <HorizonXP> hector: I think so... videos work fine outside of firefox
[04:47] <jontec_> lunixman: you'd have to resize your linux partition.... for you to get the free space... the partition won't morph to that size.
[04:47] <fedoui> you need to call it an ext3 lunix man
[04:47] <IKon> and then?
[04:47] <mroc> enzo, i won't have the answer for you, but i know it's going to depend heavily on what you are looking to do
[04:47] <mroc> try to be more specific
[04:48] <pistruiata> hello. I istalled apache and I would like to know how can i set foo.homelinux.org  as a link of /var/www    ?
[04:48] <Tom47> Ikon what does it say beside "Volume"
[04:48] <hector> HorizonXP, ok, you will input this on the terminal: sudo aptitude install totem-gstreamer-firefox-plugin
[04:48] <enzo> software development
[04:49] <jontec_> pistruiata: : you need to set your hosts file? I hope you're accessing foo.homelinux.org.... see #apache for information on editing your hosts file
[04:49] <hector> HorizonXP, that assuming you have the codecs
[04:49] <kadaz> Tom47 would you help me after Ikon, I have the same error.
[04:49] <jontec_> pistruiata: err... accessing foo.homelinux.org locally
[04:49] <IKon> in volume tab Tom47?
[04:50] <pistruiata> jontec_: thanks, that foo is actually just an example :>
[04:50] <Tom47> IKon ok yes that will do what does it say against the label Mount Point in that tab
[04:50] <pistruiata> jontec_: yes only locally
[04:50] <kadaz> Ikon did you do a grub-update ?
[04:50] <IKon> it say nothing
[04:50] <IKon> is in blank
[04:51] <oddalot> has anyone played that connect 4 game on ubuntu...that game is really hard
[04:51] <jontec_> (still needs help with DeVeDe.... I couldn't add this much stuff on windows, but DeVeDe says I can, but is creating a 9.7GB iso image)
[04:51] <Tom47> IKon then pls go back to the basic tab and tell me what it says against the label "Volume:"
[04:51] <steve_> hey
[04:51] <steve_> im running gnome
[04:51] <brohken> hey guys. when i installed the nvidia driver just now i seem to be having an issue where if I try to save a resolution it still defaults to a smaller resolution when i restart
[04:52] <brohken> any ideas as to why?
[04:52] <steve_> how do i find the path to kde programs
[04:52] <steve_> that are installed?
[04:52] <Cowfood> some please help, how do i add a custom msg users can see when they ssh in to my box??????????
[04:52] <IKon> say thins like Mount Point: /media/disl
[04:52] <IKon> it have not label
[04:52] <tonyyarusso> steve_: 'which programname' is good for that, for instance 'which firefox'
[04:52] <madman91> hey.. does anyone know what BS and BA stand for (degree wise?)
[04:52] <hector> brohken, you should save the xorg.conf file with the changes
[04:52] <IKon> Media:HardDisk, Size 19.2
[04:52] <steve_> trying to find the ktorrent binary
[04:53] <brohken> hector: i thought of that but there seems to be another problem
[04:53] <brohken> last time i did that i believe i get an error when restarting
[04:53] <brohken> X breaks somehow
[04:53] <brohken> hector i believe the error was "fatal error: no screens found"
[04:54] <hector> brohken, well, you should disable the "nv" module after doing that
[04:54] <jontec_> steve_: O_o why? you can launch ktorrent with the command ktorrent?
[04:54] <brohken> how?
[04:54] <hector> brohken, ok, give me a sec
[04:54] <Cowfood> some please help, how do i add a custom msg users can see when they ssh in to my box??????????
[04:54] <jontec_> steve_: the install file should be a .deb stored in /var/cache/apt/archives
[04:54] <brohken> hector: thanks i appreciate it. feel free to PM me if you wish
[04:55] <steve_> jontec: its so i can tell firefox to lauch bittorrent files with the binaryu
[04:55] <Azhi_Dahaka> my system is locking up when closing a session... how can i find the issue and fix it?
[04:55] <steve_> i dont need the deb
[04:55] <madman91> what does BA and BS stand for!?!?!?!?!!
[04:55] <steve_> i need to know where the deb put the program
[04:55] <tonyyarusso> madman91: Bachelor of Arts/Science?
[04:56] <tonyyarusso> Cowfood: Edit /etc/motd
[04:56] <jontec_> steve_: alright. :D I wasn't sure if you meant binary install or binary app.
[04:56] <madman91> tonyyarusso: thank you
[04:56] <steve_> /home/steve/.kde/apename
[04:56] <Tom47> IKon please close that terminal window for the moment and open another one
[04:56] <madman91> tonyyarusso: so naturally.. a masters is higher .. right?
[04:56] <steve_> rigtht?
[04:56] <tonyyarusso> madman91: yes
[04:56] <smeghead> Hello, anyone want to help me with formatting an external drive?
[04:56] <IKon> and then ?
[04:56] <oddalot> formating?
[04:57] <smeghead> And mounting
[04:57] <madman91> smeghead: you can try gparted
[04:57] <tonyyarusso> steve_: /usr/bin/appname will have the program itself, the .kde will have config files.
[04:57] <madman91> smeghead: sudo aptitude install gparted
[04:57] <oddalot> gparted is great
[04:57] <madman91> smeghead: then sudo gparted
[04:57] <madman91> or gksudo gparted
[04:57] <madman91> whatever
[04:57] <Cowfood> tonyyarusso: i dont have a modt folder
[04:57] <madman91> or system --> administration --> gnome parition editor
[04:57] <steve_> thanks
[04:57] <smeghead> I already tried gparted, but I have an issue with it. It fights with the auto mounter. I disconnected that, but then I ran into another problem.
[04:57] <tonyyarusso> Cowfood: motd, not modt, and it's a text file, not a folder.
[04:58] <madman91> lets figure that problem out smeghead
[04:58] <jontec_> steve_: umm... I'm not sure... I just used which ktorrent and it sent me to /usr/bin/ktorrent, so I guess we can see where that goes to (if it's a symlink)
[04:58] <Tom47> then enter the command sudo fdisk -l
[04:58] <jontec_> steve_: nvm, didn't see that it had been answered
[04:58] <IKon> done
[04:58] <Tom47> IKon do you know about pastebin?
[04:58] <smeghead> Evidently after I format the external USB drive for EXT3 it won't let me write to it.
[04:59] <steve_> thanks guys
[04:59] <IKon> i dont know anything about pastebin
[04:59] <Tom47> !pastebin > Ikon
[04:59] <steve_> this apply to all apps, not just kde apps on gnome?
[04:59] <hector> brohken, sudo nano /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common
[04:59] <brohken> hector, do that after i save the conf file?
[04:59] <hector> brohken, yes
[04:59] <brohken> and then ctrl+alt backspace?
[05:00] <brohken> ok be back in a second.. i hope.
[05:00] <cappicard> hey all. is 64-bit JRE still fubar?
[05:00] <IKon> ok
[05:00] <Tom47> IKon what i would like you to do is to copy and paste the output from that last command t pastebin
[05:00] <hector> brohken, in DISABLED_MODULES="" replace by DISABLED_MODULES="nv"
[05:00] <Tom47> then tell me the url back here
[05:00] <IKon> yes
[05:00] <hector> brohken, yes
[05:00] <IKon> in Your name is my name? or you  name?
[05:01] <brohken> hector, where am i putting that?
[05:01] <Tom47> IKon your name
[05:01] <cables> Why does Wine's download page have an option for "Windows binary .zips"?
[05:01] <IKon> syntax? bash?
[05:01] <bremenbeck> cappicard: I hope not most of 64bit oracle depends on a 64bit jvm
[05:01] <brohken> nm
[05:02] <hector> brohken, on terminal input: sudo gedit /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common
[05:02] <cappicard> i'm still running 32-bit firefox
[05:02] <brohken> hector: i got it
[05:02] <cappicard> with 32-bit jre
[05:02] <brohken> im going to restart X
[05:02] <hector> brohken, there you edit where it says DISABLED_MODULES="" and replace it by DISABLED_MODULES="nv"
[05:02] <bremenbeck> cappicard: best to stick with 32bit for browsers
[05:02] <Tom47> IKon text only
[05:02] <espen0> what command do i use to set that traffic comming on port 80 is forwarded to a specific ip address 192.168.0.3 when i have a linux box running as a router?
[05:02] <hector> brohken, then save the file
[05:03] <brohken> hector: worked!
[05:03] <brohken> you're the man
[05:03] <hector> brohken, now you can edit the xorg.conf file
[05:03] <IKon> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24009/
[05:03] <bremenbeck> espen0: you have a DNAT/SNAT setup?
[05:03] <brohken> hector: the resolution is fine now too. do i need to do something else?
[05:03] <HorizonXP> hector: okay, seems like it worked, thanks! It's just these apple iphone ads aren't working. thas prolly a separate issue
[05:03] <espen0> i installed linux MCE over kubuntu.....have no idea
[05:04] <bremenbeck> maybe a bit tricky for you espen0
[05:04] <hector> brohken, no
[05:04] <Tom47> Ikon the device i think we should choose is sda3
[05:04] <hector> brohken, try to restart i see if it work
[05:05] <IKon> ok
[05:05] <espen0> google seem just to frustrate me, sins i dont really have something specific to search for
[05:05] <IKon> what should i do?
[05:05] <GC> hey guys when I start from the installation disk, I get to the first menu after which I press load and install ubuntu, then I see a msg that says kernel is loaded or something, but then I get an error saying PCI: Failed to allocate mem resource #6:20000@d0000000 for 0000:01:00.0     I never get to the usual ubuntu sreen that shows a progress bar... does it have naything to do that its a 64bit intel ( I did dl the proper 64bit version)  any ideas?
[05:05] <brohken> hector: ok
[05:05] <Azhi_Dahaka> my system is locking up when closing a session... how can i find the issue and fix it?
[05:05] <bruenig> GC, bad download or bad burn most likely, also I recommend the i386 unless you have some specific reason for 64bit
[05:05] <Tom47> IKon altho i think we will be calling it hda3 for our purposes
[05:06] <IKon> ok, open a new terminal windows, and what is the command?
[05:06] <RodGo> need some help, and its very anoying, i cant see the turn off button
[05:06] <hector> GC, I agree with bruening, I have 64bit Ubuntu and is kind of a pain
[05:06] <GC> bruenig I tried 386 it goes past the ubuntu screen with progress bar, but it gave me an error as well
[05:06] <bulmer> RodGo pull the plug
[05:07] <GC> bruenig does it have anything to do with the system using a sas drive?
[05:07] <IKon> what are you talking about, hector?
[05:07] <lekremyelse1> RodGo: did you start xserver from the console?
[05:07] <Tom47> IKon lets go back to a new terminal window in which pls type sudo grub
[05:07] <bruenig> GC, I don't know
[05:07] <donkeet> kadaz: are you still there?
[05:07] <webactivex> sudo: must be setuid root what does this mean?
[05:07] <IKon> and then?
[05:07] <GC> bruenig but i386 should work fine with 64bit system correct?
[05:07] <Tom47> IKon ave you done that?
[05:07] <bruenig> GC, correct
[05:07] <kadaz> yup
[05:08] <webactivex> I chmod 777 -R /usr if that helps..

[05:08] <RodGo> my bro was using amsn and i dont know what he moved, but he has no permissions
[05:08] <IKon> yes, i type sudo grub
[05:08] <mroc> tnnc:  might have more luck in #ubuntu-effects
[05:08] <Tom47> IKon then type root (hd0,2)
[05:08] <webactivex> bremenbeck: how do I fix?
[05:08] <donkeet> kadaz: somehow managed to get my wireless working - blind luck parially

[05:10] <RodGo> you have any idea on how solve this
[05:10] <webactivex> sudo: must be setuid root what does this mean?  chmod 777 -R /usr if that helps.. Why can I not get to root now?

[05:13] <ubotu> The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[05:14] <bulmer> webactivex: you dont want to have /usr as 777
[05:14] <RodGo> kadaz: it adds a quit button but the problem is not there
[05:14] <webactivex> bulmer: well hos do I fix it
[05:14] <RodGo> when the quit dialog opens
[05:14] <brohken> hector: well... didn't work. and my x is broken :T
[05:14] <webactivex> cause I can no longer access root
[05:14] <webactivex> how*
[05:15] <RodGo> i see the suspend, i see the close session but i cant see the reboot button
[05:15] <RodGo> or the turn off button
[05:15] <bulmer> webactivex: re-install or maybe the live CD has an option to repair system
[05:15] <brohken> does anyone know how I can get a default xconf file to replace the one i changed?
[05:15] <Pelo> RodGo, if you reboot it will probably come back,   sudo reboot
[05:15] <bulmer> dont know if there is that repair
[05:15] <lekremyelse1> RodGo I believe you r in recovery mode
[05:15] <kadaz> rodgo go to control panel and login window
[05:15] <Tom47> IKon there is no real drama her in this just a matter of sorting through
[05:16] <Pelo> bulmer,   rename  xorg.conf~  that's the backup from your last edit
[05:16] <webactivex> I broke it just from that?
[05:16] <Azhi_Dahaka> my system is locking up when closing a session... how can i find the issue and fix it?
[05:16] <v1nc1> anybody know when the intel 4965 drivers can be expected?
[05:16] <mr_clever> irc.freenode.net
[05:16] <bulmer> Pelo not I..its webactivex
[05:16] <IKon> sorting?
[05:16] <webactivex> what could of possibly happened
[05:16] <hector> brohken, have you configure the nvidia card using nvidia-xconfig or you did manually?
[05:16] <kadaz> rodgo check the box "menu actions"
[05:16] <mneptok> webactivex: you ran chmod
[05:16] <Pelo> brohken,   rename  xorg.conf~  that's the backup from your last edit
[05:16] <brohken> hector what do you mean? i used the command sudo nvidia-settings
[05:16] <webactivex> mneptok: how could changing the permissions on usr broke it?
[05:17] <brohken> and then i saved from there
[05:17] <Pelo> bulmer,  it wan't webactivex either,
[05:17] <hector> brohken, ok
[05:17] <TitanP4> I just downloaded Envy for my video settings does it all for you
[05:17] <brohken> how do i get to that file?
[05:17] <Pelo> broken   cd /etc/X11

[05:31] <lekremyelsew> RodGo r the desklets in the applications menu
[05:31] <thoreauputic> donkeet: there are no linux viruses in the wild
[05:31] <lekremyelsew> ?
[05:31] <RodGo> yes i can
[05:31] <pwnguin> donkeet: you dont need anti virus, but you should make sure to install security updates as they're available
[05:31] <RodGo> but the problem seems to be directly with the desklets app
[05:31] <DShepherd> what software can i use to store/save a streaming video?
[05:31] <RodGo> gdesklets
[05:31] <RodGo> yes they are
[05:31] <IKon> any here?
[05:31] <pwnguin> donkeet: the general assumption is that if you're infected with something, it's already too late for antivirus
[05:31] <RodGo> i can start them manualy
[05:31] <lekremyelsew> RodGo do you know what command to use to run them?
[05:31] <Tom47> IKon i suggest you say Am reinstalling grub but get errors as shown in http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24010/ ... what do i do next?

[05:32] <IKon> hello world, i am reinstalling grub but get errors as show in http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24010/ what do i do next?
[05:33] <thoreauputic> DShepherd: you need mplayer, of course :)

[05:33] <lekremyelsew> RodGo: does the desktlet work if you launch it from the start menu?
[05:34] <thoreauputic> DShepherd: there is also the mimms utility, for mms streams, although mplayer can handle those too
[05:34] <RodGo> yes it does
[05:34] <RodGo> actually i am starting it from there
[05:34] <DShepherd> thoreauputic, ok. thanks for the assistance

[05:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bitchx - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:41] <tonyyarusso> killown: They already are, but I don't know why you'd need them.
[05:41] <bulmer> Azhi_Dahaka: does your /var/log/messages reflect those lock ups?
[05:41] <killown> tonyyarusso for upgrade programs?
[05:41] <Azhi_Dahaka> gonna check
[05:41] <killown> !gusty
[05:41] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gusty - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[05:42] <thoreauputic> killown: gutsy, not gusty :)
[05:42] <deemo> Hello all, I have a dapper system here, and for some reason, no outbound internet connection will work. i can access apache and other internet ports from other computers so it works fine as a server, but firefox, apt-get, etc dont work from it locally. what could be wrong?

[05:42] <TOoSmOotH> deemo are you running a firewall?
[05:42] <killown> tonyyarusso, edgy-backports? and feisty ?
[05:43] <lwizardl> ok, I see all kinds of sites posting about running xp/vista inside ubuntu. But whats the best option to do this? qemu, vmware, xen, etc

[05:44] <killown> thanks
[05:44] <rolnyzx> Ok I got to run the svn, but there was a problem I had to solve. In the wiki tutorial you talk about /usr/bin/{program} when everything was installed (in a kubuntu edgy box) on /usr/local/bin/{program}
[05:44] <bulmer> deemo: also check your route table if its okay
[05:44] <lwizardl> raulh, yeah i think on limewire's site
[05:44] <raulh> kk
[05:44] <deemo> toosmooth, that did not work
[05:44] <lockd> I am having a bit of a samba problem, but it could be a filesystem problem as I'm trying to share a vfat.. What could be the cause of ""Uploads" couldn't be found. Perhaps it has recently been deleted."
[05:45] <brohken> can someone help me to save my nvidia resolution without breaking my X??????
[05:45] <deemo> bulmer, the computer is assigned an ip address, and i dont know how to check the route table

[05:46] <TOoSmOotH> deemo also do a "cat /etc/resolve.conf"
[05:46] <raulh> brohken whats wrong?
[05:46] <deemo> bulmer, what should i be looking for with the output of netstat -rn?
[05:46] <lockd> Could this be a permissions error, or is that out of the question as smbd runs as root?
[05:46] <TOoSmOotH> deemo UG
[05:46] <weas3l> would someone be able to point out the best size for a swap partition for a manual ubuntu text install?

[05:47] <brohken> raulth... i installed nvidia driver's and when i apply a resolution it defaults back to something else when i restart. when i save the xconf file i get a fatal error when restarting.
[05:47] <deemo> bulmer toosmooth one of the rows is UG
[05:47] <bulmer> weas3l: rule of thumbe twice your ram size
[05:47] <pwnguin> weas3l: i recommend at least as much swap as main memory
[05:47] <TOoSmOotH> deemo can you ping that address?
[05:47] <weas3l> thanks :D
[05:47] <brohken> raulh: and then i need to reset it

[05:48] <jamisnemo> I just installed ubuntu server and the motd isn't sticking. Any hints on what casues it to revert to the default?

[05:57] <RodGo> its because i cant autostart gdesklets and the problem seems to be because it try to run it before beryl loads or something like thita
[05:57] <ikon> ok
[05:57] <cweagans> rauth: see private messages

[05:58] <bremenbeck> that will get it
[05:58] <cweagans> lockd: chmod /mnt/*diskname*
[05:58] <agn0stic> ikon: you trying with a livecd, like knoppix or what?
[05:59] <ikon> yes
[05:59] <thoreauputic> lockd: I'm guessing the file system is vfat or something, right?
[05:59] <ikon> livecd ubuntu
[05:59] <RodGo> how can i run a command with a timer
[05:59] <RodGo> ?
[05:59] <bremenbeck> use at RodGo
[05:59] <lockd> thoreauputic: yes
[05:59] <bulmer> RodGo man cron
[05:59] <bremenbeck> man at
[05:59] <bremenbeck> at is easier than cron
[05:59] <thoreauputic> lockd: that's the problem
[05:59] <bremenbeck> :)
[05:59] <cipher> has anyone noticed a good deal of CPU usage due to flash apps within firefox
[05:59] <lockd> thoreauputic: is there a way around this problem? manual mounting, shudder
[05:59] <agn0stic> ikon: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-24113.html would be of help
[05:59] <kbrosnan> cipher: that is normal
[06:00] <thoreauputic> lockd: I think you need a non-braindead filesystem
[06:00] <thoreauputic> :)
[06:00] <agn0stic> ikon: second post in that thread
[06:00] <lockd> thoreauputic: I really have little choice for this FS
[06:00] <raulh> linux runs so much faster then windows, especially internet wise.
[06:00] <cipher> kbrosnan: is this due to the GNU flash, would it be the same with a proprietary engine?
[06:00] <cweagans> raulh: my repository list is located here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24012/
[06:00] <inudv> im 11 an does an 1 kno any thin dat is lic CE??
[06:00] <thoreauputic> lockd: vfat knows nothing about *nix permissions
[06:00] <loco_aullador> hi anyone knows an application to check physical errors in hdd? others than badblocks
[06:00] <lockd> thoreauputic: I need a way to force upon the permissions system, some sort of mode change.. i don't care if it's durned 666
[06:00] <cweagans> inudv: can you type out your worlds please?
[06:00] <lekremyelsew> RodGo: did it work?
[06:00] <agn0stic> ikon: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_restore_GRUB_menu_after_Windows_installation this also
[06:00] <RodGo> bulmer: lets say i want to execute a command in 2 seconds
[06:00] <cweagans> words*
[06:00] <kbrosnan> cipher: i have not don't a comparison but flash tends to use a fair amount of cpu
[06:01] <thoreauputic> lockd: see above
[06:01] <cipher> kbrosnan: alright
[06:01] <RodGo> so i want it to wait 2 seconds and then execute once
[06:01] <sid> How can I get totem to play dvds that don't have css? it has menus etc, but no css.
[06:01] <TOoSmOotH> RodGo, write a shell script with a pause in it
[06:01] <bulmer> RodGo as someone suggested, maybe "at" is slightly better for single shots
[06:01] <cweagans> raulh: use this repository file to install frostwire
[06:01] <bremenbeck> at is great for single shots
[06:01] <cweagans> raulh: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24012/
[06:02] <lockd> thoreauputic: I will have to manual mount and do some sort of dirty tricks, like always
[06:02] <inudv>  does anyone know any thing that is like Ceat Eengine??
[06:02] <raulh> yes i dont know where this go
[06:02] <thoreauputic> lockd: what are you actually wanting to *do* ?
[06:02] <cweagans> inudv: what is Ceat Eengine?
[06:02] <lockd> thoreauputic: make it useable for Samba share
[06:02] <thoreauputic> lockd: there might be another way to achieve what you are aiming at
[06:02] <sid> How can I get totem to play dvds that don't have css? it has menus etc, but no css. it tells me I don't have the plugin installed to play dvs
[06:02] <lekremyelsew> could someone give me a hand with an nVIDIA driver issue
[06:03] <lockd> thoreauputic: I /need/ the helper processes to have complete access
[06:03] <sid> mplayer plays the dvds fine, but I wanted to use totem and use menus
[06:03] <raulh> cweagans where does it go =\
[06:03] <thoreauputic> lockd: ah, I know nothing about Samba, sorry - I only use NFS and sshfs
[06:03] <lockd> thoreauputic: isn't there something called a UMASK?
[06:03] <cweagans> raulh: copy the entire text to the file that can be accessed by doing this in a terminal: "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list"
[06:03] <thoreauputic> lockd: umask won't work on vfat/fat32 - it's a permissions tool
[06:03] <TOoSmOotH> RodGo, create a script called whatever.sh then add sleep 2m and then on the next line place your command
[06:03] <raulh> gotcha thanks
[06:04] <RodGo> sorry man i dont know how to do that
[06:04] <lockd> does anyone at all know a dirty trick to force fat32 to pretend it's 666 or alike?

[06:04] <s|k> hi
[06:04] <brohken> TOoSmOotH: seems i broke more stuff
[06:05] <lockd> aztracker1: a way to force fat32 or vfat to have alternate permissions
[06:05] <brohken> haha
[06:05] <brohken> hellp please
[06:05] <bijan> hello,i was wondering if ubuntu ran all linux software
[06:05] <ikon> agn0stic
[06:05] <s|k> any way to check from the command line to see if I have a package installed already via aptitude?
[06:05] <TOoSmOotH> brohken, paste me the command you used to installt he drivers?
[06:05] <lockd> aztracker1: because I need the Samba helper processes to have access to it?
[06:05] <ikon> the page again
[06:05] <aztracker1> lockd, ahh.. fat32 only has simple write locks... other than that, it's really basic
[06:05] <ikon> this shit frozze
[06:05] <lockd> aztracker1: -?
[06:05] <raulh> wow thanks

[06:06] <TOoSmOotH> you have no GUI brohken?
[06:07] <s|k> thanks thoreauputic
[06:07] <cweagans> inudv: not to be rude, but I did not ask for that. If i wanted one, I would have gotten one.

[06:07] <raulh> lol cant find package
[06:07] <raulh> ._>
[06:07] <cweagans> omg

[06:07] <raulh> is it that ?
[06:08] <brohken> TOoSmOotH: i do
[06:08] <TOoSmOotH> .sh doesn't matter
[06:08] <raulh> becuz so many updates my system requires?
[06:08] <brohken> TOoSmOotH: y?
[06:08] <cweagans> raulh: nope...that command gets the new list of available packages
[06:08] <raulh> ooh wow ill remember that!
[06:08] <kadaz> ~ I have an ubuntu bootup error 15 "file not found" I have booted into ubuntu via supergrub. This is my pastebin, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24005/ of main.lst. I have 1 hard drive, 3 linux partitions.
[06:08] <redcard> raulh: What version of Ubuntu did you install for that many updates?
[06:08] <raulh> 6.10
[06:08] <raulh> was a while back but i just rememberd i had it stored
[06:08] <TOoSmOotH> brohken see the pms
[06:08] <bremenbeck> RodGo: here is the fix
[06:08] <raulh> so i try'd it
[06:08] <lekremyelsew> my nvidia driver isnt working?
[06:08] <bremenbeck> root@harold:~# echo uname -a > tt
[06:08] <bremenbeck> root@harold:~# at 1pm tomorrow -f tt
[06:08] <cweagans> raulh: you have to run that command any time you make a change to your apt sources.list
[06:08] <bremenbeck> then you are set
[06:09] <ikon> agn0stic, i have problems to reinstall grub, this say Error 15
[06:09] <bremenbeck> root@harold:~# atq
[06:09] <bremenbeck> 2       Tue Jun  5 13:00:00 2007 a root
[06:09] <bremenbeck> at is a wonderful thing :)
[06:09] <bremenbeck> ok I need a "biobreak"
[06:09] <agn0stic> ikon: try find /boot/grub/stage1 at the grub prompt
[06:09] <bremenbeck> brb
[06:09] <raulh> alrighty then cwag it worked and i even remembed the command to install files whn you have package name
[06:09] <raulh> i learned a few new things :)
[06:09] <agn0stic> ikon: where exactly does it say that at? what did you do right before that?
[06:09] <TOoSmOotH> brohken, you see my private message?
[06:09] <cweagans> raulh: that's the idea :D lemme know if you need anything else
[06:10] <ikon> Error 15: File not found
[06:10] <raulh> i will thanks
[06:10] <inudv> cweagans: CE is only for windows ( recently swiched)and im trying to find omthing like is for linux...
[06:10] <ikon> that say in grub prompt
[06:10] <raulh> learn perl inudv
[06:10] <agn0stic> ikon: after what command?
[06:10] <brohken> TOoSmOotH: i am replying... can't you see?
[06:10] <ikon> find /boot/grub/stage1
[06:10] <cweagans> inudv: is it a game? is it a 3d engine? what is it? what does it do?
[06:10] <TOoSmOotH> no.. did you register your nick with nickserv?
[06:10] <inudv> raulh: ???
[06:10] <DavidCraft2> alright have a a sata hard drive pluged in to a pci sata raid controler.  I formated it in ext3.   It is auto mounted.   For some reason though when I try to copy things over to this drive (bigger file, smaller files work fine) it will get stuck and hang.  I can end the prossess but then it wont read the HD until a reboot.
[06:10] <raulh> yeah??
[06:11] <DavidCraft2> is the drive bad? or is there something else?
[06:11] <DavidCraft2> and how do I check
[06:11] <DavidCraft2> ?
[06:11] <TOoSmOotH> brohken, what vid card you got?
[06:11] <raulh> i lvoe terminal..
[06:11] <kadaz> heh
[06:11] <brohken> 7600
[06:11] <lekremyelsew> could some give me a hand with a nvidia driver problem:
[06:11] <lekremyelsew> When i restart my computer, xserver dies because the module numbers r different
[06:11] <raulh> yay!
[06:11] <agn0stic> ikon: you do have a ubuntu installation on your hard drive right? Your drive will need to be mounted first if it's not for the grub command to find it
[06:12] <TOoSmOotH> brohken, type cd `in a command window
[06:12] <raulh> frostwire looks exacly like limewire =0
[06:12] <ikon> i have installed ubuntu
[06:12] <TOoSmOotH> brohken, then wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-9755/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9755-pkg1.run
[06:12] <agn0stic> ikon: i thought the ubuntu installer cd mounted hard drives automatically
[06:12] <ikon> i guess
[06:12] <DavidCraft2> any ideas?
[06:12] <ikon> i am from the live cd
[06:12] <inudv> cweagans: it hacks online games. not agame a adress finder (hex).
[06:12] <ikon> how can i mounted_
[06:12] <cweagans> raulh: toldja....it works the same way and uses the same network. Anything you can do with Limewire, you can do with Frostwire
[06:12] <TOoSmOotH> brohken, once that is done dloading type sudo sh NVIDIAblahblahblah
[06:12] <raulh> it faster or same?
[06:12] <cweagans> inudv: ah....i see
[06:13] <agn0stic> ikon: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 about a quarter down the page, there's an explanation by someone having the same problem you are
[06:13] <cweagans> inudv: give me a minute and I'll find you something
[06:13] <lebowski_> Hi, doesn't ubuntu support WPA standard in Feisty Fawn? I thought it did. Somehow i can't choose wpa for password type in the networkmanager. the correct driver for the card is loaded. any ideas?
[06:13] <lekremyelsew> anyone?
[06:13] <inudv> thank you
[06:13] <TOoSmOotH> brohken, also might want to rename your xorg.conf
[06:13] <cweagans> inudv: enable all your repositories and use this command to install the hex editor: sudo apt-get install -y ghex
[06:13] <agn0stic> ikon: where it says mount /dev/hda6, you most likely need to change that to hda1 if ubuntu is the only thing installed on your system
[06:14] <brohken> TOoSmOotH: You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before
[06:14] <brohken>          installing.  For further details, please see the section INSTALLING
[06:14] <brohken>          THE NVIDIA DRIVER in the README available on the Linux driver
[06:14] <brohken>          download page at www.nvidia.com.
[06:14] <ikon> i have windows and ubuntu
[06:14] <lockd> apparently UMASK will affect the entire disk, regardless of what filesystem it was.. now who said that wasn't possible in vfat?
[06:14] <TOoSmOotH> brohken, get out of X
[06:14] <raulh> cweag how you learn all this is there a site or something id like to learn so i dont as stupidy quesitons
[06:14] <inudv> cweagans: ty
[06:14] <brohken> TOoSmOotH:  how?
[06:15] <thoreauputic> lockd: I did - are you sure it isn't just the directory permissions that umask affects?
[06:15] <linuxor> HI, I wana make a photos show with music on backgroun, how do it please? thx a lot
[06:15] <phiqtion> ubuntu has GTK 1 or 2?
[06:15] <thoreauputic> philc: 2 mostly
[06:15] <bremenbeck> mainly 2
[06:15] <TOoSmOotH> brohken, ctrl+alt+f2
[06:15] <bremenbeck> many two answers :)
[06:15] <thoreauputic> umm phiqtion ^^
[06:15] <TOoSmOotH> then kill x
[06:16] <cweagans> raulh: well....I use Ubuntu Server at work, so I know a lot of the networking techniques...basically, I learned by trial and error. You might try reading some of the books on Ubuntu and poking around on the forums. Learn things as you need them. Remember: Google is your friend.
[06:16] <lebowski_>  Somehow i can't choose WPA for password type in the networkmanager (just WEP). the correct driver for the nic is loaded. any ideas?
[06:16] <cweagans> n2diy: good evening
[06:16] <raulh> cweags  ive heard linux acts as a shell, for servers is this true?
[06:17] <lockd> thoreauputic: nope, solid green when I set it to 0000.. everything has all access (which isn't the best permanent solution)
[06:17] <brohken> TOoSmOotH: no idea what i just did but it gave me the same error
[06:17] <lockd> thoreauputic: but until I find the user/group that the helper belongs to...
[06:17] <cweagans> raulh: the server version of ubuntu looks like a terminal in fullscreen mode. It is the ubuntu operating system, just without the GUI
[06:17] <poningru> crimsun: can I bug you for a quick sec?
[06:17] <kadaz> Ikon
[06:17] <brohken> and i luckily made my way back by hitting ctrl+alt+F7
[06:17] <poningru> do you know what package has snd_usb_audio?
[06:17] <TOoSmOotH> you need to kill X
[06:17] <thoreauputic> lockd: 777 permissions make me nervous.... ;-)
[06:17] <raulh> yes i mean IRC servers use shells but ive heard that linux dosnt need shells
[06:18] <TOoSmOotH> when you are in that terminal
[06:18] <brohken> TOoSmOotH: how do i do that?
[06:18] <raulh> witch i am verifying this
[06:18] <kadaz> Ikon you where?
[06:18] <phiqtion> how can i install a new theme? where i do need to drag the folder? gtk2
[06:18] <phiqtion> !gtk
[06:18] <TOoSmOotH> brohken, ps auxw | grep X
[06:18] <ubotu> GTK is the !GIMP toolkit, which forms the base of !GNOME and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI
[06:18] <cweagans> raulh: irc servers are programs that run on top of an operating system
[06:18] <agn0stic> kadaz: ikon's fixing a mbr right now
[06:18] <brohken> TOoSmOotH: ok now once i do this, how do i get back?
[06:18] <TOoSmOotH> brohken, find the pid and do kill 1234.... 1234 being the pid
[06:18] <crimsun> poningru: sure, but I may not answer immediately.
[06:19] <cweagans> raulh: linux has shells that run on it....bash, dash, and sh are three common ones
[06:19] <raulh> i know what they are i run one on my othere OS its windows 95NT but im paying 10$ a month for shell, do linux Os need shells ?
[06:19] <TOoSmOotH> well you should need to reboot for the driver
[06:19] <poningru> crimsun: do you know which package has snd_usb_audio
[06:19] <raulh> wow.... dude linux reads my SANSA sweet!
[06:19] <brohken> TOoSmOotH: pid? dude. im a novice here trying to install ubuntu which is supposed to be easy
[06:19] <BobRob> phiqtion You can go to the system menu, on the top of your screen, and click on preferences, than go to theme. Click on install theme, and navigate to the folder
[06:19] <crimsun> poningru: linux-image-foo
[06:19] <weas3l> hmmmm, one step closer to being back up and running, now to just figure out how to get my wireless card working.
[06:19] <cweagans> raulh: You would prolly be better off just running your own server....high upfront cost, but would be worth it over time
[06:19] <poningru> oh!
[06:19] <crimsun> poningru: actually, to be pedantic, none.
[06:20] <TOoSmOotH> pid is the first set of #s on the left hand side
[06:20] <crimsun> poningru: linux-image-foo contains snd-usb-audio.ko, however.
[06:20] <raulh> its server for gunz, just a chat room
[06:20] <brohken> ok..
[06:20] <TOoSmOotH> brohken, have you trued envy?
[06:20] <brohken> envy?
[06:20] <cweagans> raulh: so why not create a channel on free node or something?
[06:20] <phiqtion> bobrod: it says invalid
[06:20] <TOoSmOotH> !envy
[06:20] <ubotu> envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[06:20] <crimsun> poningru: note that modprobe does not discriminate between hyphens and underscores used in module names.
[06:20] <brohken> again... im new man. i have no idea what im doing
[06:20] <lockd> thoreauputic: i should probably do a 660 once I find smb helper's group, add it to mine, and set up mounted permissions
[06:20] <phiqtion> bobrod: is gtk2 supported?
[06:20] <cweagans> brb
[06:20] <lebowski_> Nobody any ideas on my WPA problem?
[06:20] <raulh> idk lol cuz nobody really knows bout freenode
[06:20] <BobRob> What theme is it; where did you download it from?
[06:21] <raulh> i might do an amsg for it tho
[06:21] <TOoSmOotH> !automatix
[06:21] <ubotu> Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[06:21] <cweagans> back
[06:21] <poningru> crimsun: hehe gotcha thanks
[06:21] <thoreauputic> lockd: ah well, I have none of these issues since I'm 100% Linux here <grin>
[06:21] <brohken> TOoSmOotH: both those descriptions sound lovely
[06:21] <BobRob> And yea, it should be... I use gtk2 themes
[06:21] <poningru> crimsun: for whatever reason the friend you helped yesterday does not have that module
[06:21] <brohken> breaking my machine.. yea
[06:21] <cweagans> raulh: well...advertise it! You have to advertise your own server, yes? just change the address to a freenode channel and put it on the web somewhere.
[06:21] <bremenbeck> huh? no lockd and you are 100% LINUX :)
[06:21] <weas3l> !wireless
[06:21] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[06:22] <TOoSmOotH> Anyone know a clean way to shutdown your x server?
[06:22] <bremenbeck> oh that was a nick :)
[06:22] <lockd> thoreauputic: wait.. I have no reason for Windows anymore - my windows partition is now bugged because of Qemu
[06:22] <bremenbeck> hehe
[06:22] <Azhi_Dahaka> my system is locking up when closing a session... how can i find the issue and fix it?
[06:22] <crimsun> poningru: he wouldn't have snd_usb_audio.ko or snd_usb_audio, no.  He would have a snd-usb-audio.ko, however.
[06:22] <TOoSmOotH> Without having to kill it?
[06:22] <Azhi_Dahaka> for which log should i exactly look for?
[06:22] <bremenbeck> I should keep up more
[06:22] <bremenbeck> most errors are lockd related :)
[06:22] <lockd> bremenbeck: what?
[06:22] <poningru> crimsun: :D right thanks
[06:22] <raulh> ok im going stay here poke aound see peoples errors, and how fix them
[06:22] <brohken> TOoSmOotH: forget it man. i appreciate your help. after 5 hours and still being nowhere i think im going to just give up on linux altogether
[06:22] <inudv> cweagans:  ty for da nintindo sym. but i need 1 for pc hacking...  rune scape, quake 1 2 3
[06:22] <bremenbeck> lockd: I had a "read" error - not used to these fast moving channels
[06:22] <bremenbeck> my bad
[06:23] <raulh> brohkoen
[06:23] <brohken> TOoSmOotH: i have no idea why this is supposed to be easy when i get error after error
[06:23] <raulh> why dont you jsut completely wipe out nvidea?
[06:23] <TOoSmOotH> To exit X windows, you can press ctrl-alt-F1 to get a console, login and then kill gdm using the command "sudo killall gdm"). Now install the package:
[06:23] <lebowski_> ubotu: thanks i looked there, but could find my problem
[06:23] <brohken> TOoSmOotH: ok ill try
[06:23] <upgrdman> i had software raid setup on my gentoo box, but then i converted to ubuntu... how do i rebuild my array. its still there but not detected
[06:24] <raulh> one last question cwag, is it possible to turn an .exe file to a linux read-able or somesort of freeware program that emulates this?
[06:24] <cweagans> inudv: you are on your own...i dont condone game hacking....if you want to know, google it.
[06:24] <ramatieg> lebowski_: ubotu is a bot. You probably won't have a very stimulating time trying to converse with him
[06:24] <inudv> ...
[06:24] <raulh> lol haha
[06:24] <raulh> who owns ubotu?
[06:24] <Gnea> !owner
[06:24] <ubotu> This bot is owned & operated by Seveas. For questions/requests/comments, join #ubuntu-bots
[06:25] <CAsurfer> I have an installation question.  Is this a good channel to ask in, or is there a more specialized one that I should try?
[06:25] <raulh> oh,, i wonder what he is ran on
[06:25] <Alysum> hello how can I restart the X server when Im in Gnome
[06:25] <Gnea> CAsurfer: don't ask to ask, just ask.
[06:25] <raulh> i usally run my irc bots on my windows NT 95
[06:25] <ramatieg> Alysum: ctrl-alt-backspace
[06:25] <lebowski_> ramatieg: he seems friendly nonetheless ;)
[06:25] <Madpilot> raulh, ubotu runs on Ubuntu, of course. What else?
[06:25] <upgrdman> anyone here have linux software raid expierence?
[06:25] <linuxor> HI, I wana make a photos show with music on backgroun, how do it please? thx a lot

[06:26] <linuxor> BobRob, but the music?
[06:26] <Gnea> linuxboy: kino
[06:26] <ramatieg> newtoallofthis: You're description is too vague to determine what the problem is. What is the package

[06:27] <TOoSmOotH> brohken, what was the error?
[06:27] <cweagans> n2diy: not a problem...i was actually just leaving. 73
[06:27] <TOoSmOotH> was it asking you to build the module?
[06:27] <thoreauputic> newtoallofthis: I suggest you use hte add/remove programs tool to start with - there are thousands of apps available in there
[06:27] <brohken> something about me missing lib headers or something
[06:27] <n2diy> cweagans: 73

[06:32] <thoreauputic> raulh: nonsense - irssi has been available since warty in ubuntu
[06:32] <linuxor> Gnea, so if kino can do it i'd learn how to
[06:32] <TOoSmOotH> How I fixed it was remove all traces of original nvidia drivers
[06:32] <raulh> ok so how do i install it ?
[06:32] <brohken> ok tell me what i need to do
[06:32] <TOoSmOotH> renamed my xorg.conf

[06:32] <Azhi_Dahaka> my system is locking up when closing a session... how can i find the issue and fix it?
[06:32] <Azhi_Dahaka> for which log should i exactly look for?
[06:32] <thoreauputic> raulh: try irssi-text then

[06:33] <Madpilot> raulh, 8.10? There is no Ubuntu 8.10...
[06:33] <linuxor> yobrien, movie or flash
[06:33] <agn0stic> bijan: probably in your bios settings. I'm afraid I know nothing about powerpc, but there should be a "boot from cd" option somewhere
[06:33] <thoreauputic> Madpilot: he's talking about irssi I think
[06:33] <raulh> !info irssi
[06:33] <raulh> aww

[06:34] <brohken> TOoSmOotH: can we chat there?
[06:34] <raulh> im on edgy
[06:34] <raulh> i think..

[06:34] <ubotu> For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[06:35] <lebowski_> yobrien: bingo!
[06:35] <raulh> is there any programs linux that can run .exe files? or no? im just wondering
[06:35] <bijan> your a bot?
[06:35] <thoreauputic> !wine | raulh
[06:35] <ubotu> raulh: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[06:35] <agn0stic> bijan: are you sure you burnt the cd, that it got burnt correctly, and that you burnt the image for the right architechture?
[06:35] <raulh> =0 maybe it can run gunz
[06:35] <linuxor> yobrien, ok thx friend
[06:35] <bijan> yesyesyes
[06:35] <lebowski_> yobrien: I've downloaded the driver for my nic on sourceforge (Intel Pro 2915ABG) but the install notes are kinda confusing for a linux novice
[06:35] <Gnea> !cedega | raulh
[06:35] <ubotu> raulh: cedega is a project based on WINE, aimed at running Windows games on Linux. For more info, see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cedega
[06:36] <yobrien> lebowski_: ok .... so ubuntu doesnt support it by default ?
[06:36] <cables> lebowski_, i don't think you need a separate driver for that card, it should Just Work
[06:36] <raulh> its not free ive looked into it
[06:36] <bijan> i did all that...used a certan software and did it
[06:36] <cables> lebowski_, most Intel wireless chipsets work out of the box.
[06:36] <Gnea> raulh: so what?
[06:36] <matjoeman> hey, does anybody know if I can format a drive with HFS+ using ubuntu?
[06:37] <agn0stic> bijan: you have an oldder mac?
[06:37] <lebowski_> yobrien, cables: well the problem is: i can see a wireless card in system>administration>network, but i can't select WPA for it
[06:37] <bremenbeck> sure you can matjoeman
[06:37] <bijan> yes
[06:37] <cables> lebowski_, are you on feisty?
[06:37] <agn0stic> bijan: http://www.gifford.co.uk/~coredump/beigeg3.htm might help you
[06:37] <matjoeman> do I need an extension or something?
[06:37] <bijan> thanks
[06:37] <lebowski_> cables: yeah
[06:37] <bremenbeck> root@harold:~# modprobe hfsplus
[06:37] <bremenbeck> as a start
[06:38] <bijan> i hope it can be resolved
[06:38] <cables> lebowski_, what happens when you set up your network through Network Manager?
[06:38] <matjoeman> k thx
[06:38] <cables> lebowski_, check off Roaming Mode in the network settings, then click on the network icon in your notification area, and connect through that.
[06:38] <Gnea> raulh: wine is free, cedega isn't, and for good reason.
[06:38] <agn0stic> bijan: me too. like I said though, I don't know anything about powerpc. searching through the ubuntu forums might help you as well
[06:39] <cables> lebowski_, the network settings in system>administration>network don't support wpa, you'll have to use the icon in the notification area.
[06:39] <thirdy> Is it easy to drag windows in GNOME like in Xfce?
[06:39] <lebowski_> cables:  ehm, sorry i'm a complete newbie to linux? where is the notification area?
[06:39] <cables> thirdy, alt-drag
[06:40] <newtoallofthis> anyone know anything about nogame bot?
[06:40] <cables> lebowski_, to the left of your clock.
[06:40] <yobrien> thirdy: you mean not using the titlebard?
[06:40] <yobrien> yeah
[06:40] <Azhi_Dahaka> my system is locking up when closing a session... how can i find the issue and fix it?
[06:40] <newtoallofthis> I've got it, but I can not get it installed
[06:40] <Azhi_Dahaka> which log should i exactly look for?
[06:41] <thirdy> yobrien: drag apps to the next desktop
[06:41] <raulh> alrighty ive gone to that place nothing
[06:41] <cables> thirdy, Beryl lets you do this, but with plain Gnome you'll have to right click on the titlebar and hit move to next desktop.

[06:41] <Arthaey> I want to downgrade firefox back to 2.0.0.3, but "apt-get install firefox=2.0.0.3" complains that it can't find that version number. How can I found out what version string to pass in to apt-get?
[06:41] <cables> !msgthebot > raulh
[06:42] <raulh> dangit i try'd i really did lol
[06:42] <cables> Arthaey, why are you downgrading?
[06:42] <Arthaey> firebug stopped working as soon as I upgraded
[06:42] <cables> Arthaey, try sudo aptitude reinstall firefox
[06:43] <cables> Arthaey, hold on, firebug? is that an extension?
[06:43] <Arthaey> yes
[06:43] <jeph> can someone help me get the campaign packages for Wesnoth game  from gutsy upstream? I already got the main wesnoth package. Thanks
[06:43] <johnficca3> hi just installed ubuntu 704 on my friends Toshiba m35x s311 and I can't seem to get the sound working, any ideas, any help?
[06:43] <yobrien> Azhi_Dahaka: maybe ~/.xsession-errors .... but its probably gonna be hard to track using that .... maybe check what processes are running /using cpu time when you exit the session
[06:44] <Azhi_Dahaka> ok
[06:44] <ant-> !sound | johnficca3
[06:44] <ubotu> johnficca3: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[06:44] <cables> Arthaey, try removing the extension and reinstalling. It should work with 2.0.0.4
[06:44] <Arthaey> cables: I already tried removing and reinstalling firebug
[06:45] <cp84> i love ubuntu!
[06:45] <cables> Arthaey, does it give a compatibility error when you install it, or does it just not work after it's been installed?
[06:45] <Arthaey> cables: aptitude reinstall firefox makes firefox segfault immediately now. :( I'm doing an apt-get remove/install of it now...
[06:45] <cp84> Arthaey,  whats the problem ?
[06:46] <Arthaey> cables: no compatibility warning. It just does nothing when I click on its icon in the status bar, and it's right-click menu items display sorta overlapping
[06:46] <cables> Arthaey, that's really messed up... I think your problems are deeper than Firebug.
[06:46] <cables> Arthaey, try renaming your .mozilla and starting with a clean profile
[06:46] <johnficca3> I think its a problem with this computer, so I was wondering if they have a fix
[06:46] <lebowski> cables: cheers! that did the trick!
[06:46] <cables> lebowski, no problem
[06:47] <xlinux__> what framerates are you nvidia geforce 7600 users getting with glxgears?
[06:48] <solid_liq> anyone know how I configure the ubuntu installer to use LVM?
[06:48] <FunnyLookinHat> xlinux__, that's a pretty poor tool to use for any sort of benchmark
[06:48] <Arthaey> cables: okay, starting with a clean profile got firefox up and running.
[06:48] <cables> Arthaey, try installing firebug in that profile.
[06:48] <xlinux__> which benchmark should I look at?
[06:49] <Azhi_Dahaka> could it be the ati drivers?
[06:49] <prodigy> Does anyone happen to know what the default login info is for the Freespire livecd? I tried all the regular combo's i could think of with no success like "root" "root" etc...
[06:49] <FunnyLookinHat> xlinux__, I'm not aware of any good tool other than to try to play a game like quake or doom3 and find out what fps you get
[06:49] <clearzen> prodigy: did you try root/toor?
[06:49] <Gnea> prodigy: try asking in #freespire
[06:50] <prodigy> No one is around
[06:50] <Gnea> then google it
[06:50] <FunnyLookinHat> cause freespire sucks   ; )
[06:50] <Gnea> heh
[06:50] <prodigy> no sucess with that either.
[06:50] <solid_liq> I'm in the new graphical installer for ubuntu (livecd) and I have an existing LVM that I don't want to wipe.  Is there a way to get the installer to recognize the LVM on disk?
[06:50] <Azhi_Dahaka> how can i build a new default xorg.conf file?
[06:50] <FunnyLookinHat> prodigy, usually live CDs will give you root access without any password, that's how they're setup to run
[06:50] <Gnea> prodigy: what did you search for?
[06:50] <raulh> can anyone help me install WINE>
[06:51] <Gnea> FunnyLookinHat: he may not know how to use sudo su
[06:51] <Gnea> raulh: apt-get install wine
[06:51] <prodigy> Every variation I could think of with the words, Freespire, default, login, root password, etc...
[06:51] <raulh> fast nuff
[06:51] <Arthaey> cables: installing just firebug in the clean profile worked. But after I installed my other extensions, it stopped working again. So at least one of my extensions must not be playing nicely with it anymore. *sigh*
[06:51] <cables> Does anyone know what the point of BogoMIPS is?
[06:51] <xlinux__> FunnyLookinHat: I dont exactly know how to get the fps to show while playing a game...
[06:51] <cables> Arthaey, :(
[06:51] <n2diy> prodigy: did you try no password?
[06:51] <xlinux__> unless maybe I boot the game from the terminal?
[06:51] <jeph> hi guys, what is the line i put if i want to add gutsy gibbon to my sources list?
[06:51] <raulh> btw you forgot sudo<==?
[06:51] <prodigy> Yea someone told me it was root / " ", i tried no password didn't work
[06:51] <FunnyLookinHat> xlinux__, me neither, but you could google for it
[06:52] <solid_liq> cables: it's a very rough estimate of the performance of a machine used by the kernel for setting certain tunables
[06:52] <Gnea> raulh: that's optional
[06:52] <raulh> rlly..
[06:52] <Gnea> yes.
[06:52] <Gnea> depends how you use it
[06:52] <raulh> damnit im stupid..
[06:52] <prodigy> No biggie, just trying out every linux distro out there on vmware out of interest
[06:52] <clearzen> solid_liq: Yeah, I know you can do that with the server installs, I would imagine the alternate cd would give you that option as well. You may be able to use an existing LVM if you select manually partitioning
[06:52] <cables> solid_liq, why does the kernel need a very rough estimate of the porformance of the machine?
[06:52] <Gnea> prodigy: did: sudo su  <-- that work?
[06:53] <solid_liq> clearzen: I did select manual, but it says the lvm is "unknown"
[06:53] <clearzen> solid_liq: I wouldn't know in that case then. Sorry.
[06:53] <solid_liq> cables: the kernel devs use it to determine how often they should perform certain tasks, like polling to see if something's changed
[06:53] <silvernode> hey real quick, does anyone know of a good app for ubuntu that will burn iso files? I need to burn one real fast
[06:53] <n2diy> cables: so it can work out various timing issues.
[06:53] <solid_liq> clearzen: thanks anyway
[06:53] <clearzen> silvernode: k3b
[06:53] <raulh> try ifra recorder?
[06:53] <stmiller> silvernode: k3b  :)
[06:53] <raulh> lol mightwork idk
[06:53] <clearzen> silvernode: or right click
[06:54] <solid_liq> silvernode: k3b
[06:54] <Gnea> k3b for KUBUNTU maybe......
[06:54] <silvernode> thanks all :-) i can always count on you guys
[06:54] <clearzen> Gnea: I use it in gnome
[06:54] <cables> silvernode, just right click it and hit write :)
[06:54] <raulh> gnea will WINE run mIRC?
[06:54] <prodigy> Yea, I don't know whats up with it. I'll just move onto the next distro since its based on debian anyways debian is probably better and more stable I would imagine
[06:54] <solid_liq> k3b works fine on ubuntu as well
[06:54] <Gnea> raulh: sure
[06:54] <cables> raulh, use Xchat, mIRC sucks
[06:54] <silvernode> right click sounds easy
[06:54] <stmiller> Gnea: I use k3b in Xfce. seems to work fine
[06:54] <raulh> no xchat dosnt ahve scirpitng
[06:54] <raulh> xchat sucks
[06:54] <raulh> b/c no scirpt editor
[06:54] <Gnea> xchat does have scripting
[06:54] <cables> solid_liq, yeah, but installing 100 mb of deps just to burn an iso is overkill
[06:54] <silvernode> xchat does it's job
[06:54] <cp84> k3b is sweet to use on linux
[06:55] <Madpilot> raulh, xchat has more scripts written for it than an sane person could want...
[06:55] <raulh> not .MRC
[06:55] <Gnea> raulh: yes there is, it's called vim
[06:55] <raulh> i write my own..
[06:55] <solid_liq> cables: bah, kde is better anyway ;)
[06:55] <Gnea> xchat uses perl scripts, iirc
[06:55] <raulh> i dont know VIm lol
[06:55] <raulh> i dont wana relearn aanther language
[06:55] <cp84> eh i dont like kde at all
[06:55] <raulh> i know C,C++
[06:55] <Gnea> irssi is better than all those anyway ;)
[06:55] <raulh> mrc and php
[06:55] <raulh> i try'd downladuing
[06:55] <prodigy> What was the old school command line chat program that was really popular, bitchX or something i think
[06:55] <solid_liq> raulh: vim isn't a language, it's *the best* text editor for C and C++
[06:56] <Gnea> prodigy: ircii
[06:56] <clearzen> solid_liq: what about emacs?
[06:56] <solid_liq> prodigy: yeah bitchx, plus irssi
[06:56] <cables> room goes silent
[06:56] <prodigy> those were the good old days of command line everything, bbs, muds
[06:56] <n2diy> here we go, please fasten your seat belts.
[06:56] <stmiller> clearzen: that is the ancient debate. :)
[06:56] <Seven`> vim, irssi, gnome, c, rules!
[06:56] <hylje> solid_liq: vim is not for everyone
[06:56] <Seven`> ;)
[06:56] <solid_liq> I still spend a lot of my time at the tty
[06:57] <stmiller> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Editor_war
[06:57] <Seven`> hylie are you a final-user?
[06:57] <Madpilot> solid_liq, "s/the best/one of the most over-complicated and least newbie-friendly" :)
[06:57] <silvernode> meh, right click brought up the small burning app but it says put a blank disc in when there is one in there and it's unused
[06:57] <Gnea> E17 > KDE > XFCE > Gnome ;)
[06:57] <solid_liq> hylje: eh, it just takes a little practice
[06:57] <Gnea> anyway
[06:57] <cables> Gnea, reverse it :)
[06:57] <Gnea> lot of good gnome apps
[06:57] <hylje> solid_liq: emacs
[06:57] <cables> I prefer Gnome, KDE makes me vomit
[06:57] <cables> not really, but i don't like it
[06:57] <prodigy> All these new age computer users take the modern technology for granted. Not knowing how far technology has had to come
[06:57] <Gnea> cables: learn how code and shared libraries work, then say that ;)
[06:57] <cp84> kde is a crap
[06:57] <solid_liq> Madpilot: bah, it's not overly complicated, it's easy, and much faster than the other ways of editing files.  you just have to use the vim-tutor
[06:57] <cp84> heh
[06:58] <Seven`> 'gnight
[06:58] <avp> hi all. does anybody know how to turn on energy-saving functions on ASUS notebook? the latest ubuntu.
[06:58] <cables> Gnea, is KDE easier to code for?
[06:58] <Nasiry> slackware 2.. i so remember it :)
[06:58] <Gnea> gnome and kde are basically the same thing, only difference is gnome is written in C, kde is written in c++
[06:58] <raulh> lol anyone got an idea of how to use wine? private msg me thnx
[06:58] <silvernode> so when i insert a 700mb disc in and ubuntu still complains about there being no disc...what should i do?
[06:58] <solid_liq> prodigy: I bet *you* take the wheel for granted...
[06:58] <Madpilot> prodigy, yes, and nobody has to walk to school in 18 foot high snowdrifts, uphill both ways, either ;)
[06:58] <Azhi_Dahaka> how can i build a new default xorg.conf file?
[06:58] <cables> raulh, double click the EXE. Of course, whether the app works is hit
[06:58] <cables> -or miss
[06:58] <cables> damn
[06:58] <Gnea> cables: wouldn't know, i don't
[06:59] <cables> Azhi_Dahaka, run the LiveCD, copy it off there, that's the fastest way.
[06:59] <prodigy> Well I see it in my daughter. She has all these really advanced games now, and doesn't want to touch my atari 2600
[06:59] <solid_liq> Gnea: heheh, that's not the *only* difference.  KDE is also designed better.  Don't believe it?  Just ask Linux Torvalds.
[06:59] <cables> Azhi_Dahaka, or if you know everything about your setup and want to answer a LOT of questions, do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:59] <solid_liq> :D
[06:59] <Gnea> solid_liq: hahahahahahahahah
[06:59] <Ademan> !warsow
[06:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about warsow - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:00] <cables> !msgthebot | Ademan
[07:00] <clearzen> solid_liq: Linus also thinks subversion is broken beyond repair
[07:00] <ubotu> Ademan: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (see also !Bot). Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops...
[07:00] <clearzen> solid_liq: He can't always be right
[07:00] <pwnguin> clearzen: for what he does, it probably is
[07:00] <n2diy> how can I get an iso of Edubuntu? I'm on 56k dial up, and my connection times out every 8 hours? Download Manager won't resume where the connection broke. I'm running Dapper, ideas?
[07:00] <cables> Well, Linus thinks a lot of things... We like him a lot, but we don't have to agree with him.
[07:00] <cables> n2diy, use wget
[07:00] <clearzen> pwnguin: good point
[07:00] <solid_liq> clearzen: yer point?
[07:00] <cables> n2diy, it can resume.
[07:01] <Madpilot> n2diy, got a friend with broadband?
[07:01] <dawn_chorus> n2diy, it may be easiest to order a CD from Canonical.
[07:01] <solid_liq> clearzen: he says that because his git is better than svn
[07:01] <pwnguin> clearzen: if you actually want to do a lot of forks and merges, svn/cvs is junk
[07:01] <clearzen> solid_liq: the opinion of linus != fact
[07:01] <Ademan> cables: i only did a single request...
[07:01] <Gnea> drive-by botness
[07:01] <cables> Ademan, it doesn't matter how many you do.
[07:01] <raulh> anyone know where the trash bin is at?
[07:01] <cables> raulh, bottom left of the screen
[07:01] <cables> damn
[07:01] <solid_liq> n2diy: go to a wireless hotspot and download it there
[07:01] <cables> raulh, bottom right
[07:01] <n2diy> Madpilot, working on that, but I misplaced my 1g usb drive. :/
[07:01] <prodigy> Being a gamer myself, I wish it wasn't that way. If more average joe's "knew" their computers and what they actually are maybe more video game companies would port their games over to Linux, idsoftware is basically our major supporter
[07:02] <solid_liq> clearzen: I agree with his points about svn
[07:02] <raulh> i knew that cables...
[07:02] <n2diy> dawn_chorus: I tried that, and the shipit folk turned me down. I had no problem getting Edgy and Dapper disks, so it is a mystery why they refused to send me Edubuntu?
[07:02] <raulh> lol
[07:02] <Gnea> prodigy: maybe one day ubuntu will help get on the map to make some serious $$$ to help support gaming companies
[07:02] <TOoSmOotH> <- runs wow just fine in ubuntu
[07:02] <Azhi_Dahaka> guys, is there a way to set an automatic desktop enviroment for each session? not having to choose from the session menu on the startup, but set it on the accounts?
[07:02] <cables> lol we Linux users want our games, when Mac, which has more market share than Linux, still has no games.
[07:03] <pwnguin> ok. so dont i need to have a filesystem unmounted before i resize it?
[07:03] <Chago> good evening...it's my pleasure to get inside this place
[07:03] <Azhi_Dahaka> for example, 4 accounts and 2 uses kde... how to set it automatically for those 2 instead of the manual setting?
[07:03] <dawn_chorus> n2diy, perhaps for institutions only.  the only difference is a few packages, which you can install onto either Edgy or Dapper.
[07:03] <cables> pwnguin, yeah, which is why it's best to use a LiveCD if you need to resize your main partition
[07:03] <CapriSkye> anyone know a good password generator?
[07:03] <clearzen> solid_liq: I've tried to learn how to use git. And I can do basic things with it. But I'm not a kernel hacker so it seem overly complicated for my personal uses
[07:03] <pwnguin> then why does gparted keep mounting them?
[07:03] <n2diy> solid_liq: Can't get the laptop wireless card to work on FC1, and I can't get Dapper into the laptop.
[07:03] <Chago> I'd installed my first Ubuntu dist.
[07:03] <FunnyLookinHat> pwnguin, yes you do need it to be unmounted...    use a liveCD   :)
[07:03] <pwnguin> cables: right, im on the livecd right now.
[07:03] <Gnea> CapriSkye: apg
[07:03] <solid_liq> pwnguin: depends on the filesystem type
[07:03] <prodigy> Yea if your a gamer its kinda hard to go outside of the mainstream. You have to conform to the masses. Mac users have to suffer the same fate
[07:03] <Chago> and it's really a good option
[07:04] <pwnguin> i start up gparted and it remounts the file systems
[07:04] <cables> pwnguin, does it fail?
[07:04] <TOoSmOotH> prodigy, There are quite a few games that run just fine in wine
[07:04] <n2diy> dawn_chorus: roger, that, how can I promote it to the local schools, if I can't show it to them?
[07:04] <pwnguin> cables: you know, i should probably back this stuff up before i go about doing this
[07:04] <cables> pwnguin, that would be a good idea :)
[07:04] <ajax4> I just added some hard drives. Anyone know of a good graphical util for mounting the new partitions and changing fstab?
[07:04] <bt2000> hey, i'm tryin to install beryl on feisty fawn, following a tutorial, but i think i've hit a snag
[07:04] <dawn_chorus> n2diy, i see what you mean.  you can always build your own livecd's.
[07:05] <cables> !effects | bt2000
[07:05] <ubotu> bt2000: For help with Beryl or Compiz desktop effects, please go to #ubuntu-effects.
[07:05] <bt2000> thx
[07:05] <n2diy> dawn_chorus: roger that to, have a good howto on that?
[07:05] <prodigy> Yea thats true. but its not the same as having full support. If companies would have stuck with opengl we'd probably be in a different place. But now most games are coded in d3d which keeps the companies from porting over.
[07:05] <CapriSkye> gnea, thanks
[07:05] <pwnguin> cables: what do you use for storage?
[07:06] <dawn_chorus> n2diy, there are a few on the web.  there's one on the ubuntu site.  i'll do a search for you.
[07:06] <cables> pwnguin, I have a laptop, it backs up to a shared USB drive on the family's Windows desktop
[07:06] <n2diy> dawn_chorus: thank you.
[07:06] <prodigy> I do use wine for some games. But it'd just be nice if i didn't have to boot back and forth and linux and mac os X were fully supported. Maybe one day it'll happen
[07:06] <TOoSmOotH> prodigy, I am with yah.. I hate messin with the games to get em to work.. but it is still better than using windows
[07:06] <n2diy> ! wget
[07:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about wget - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:07] <cables> n2diy, type < wget URL > (replace URL with the right URL, of course)
[07:07] <pwnguin> cables: ah. i been thinking about getting an nslu2
[07:07] <TOoSmOotH> prodigy, If MAC gaming takes off means good stuff for linux
[07:07] <prodigy> yup i think so to
[07:07] <pwnguin> cables: its a network storage device that runs linux. debian is a popular option
[07:07] <TOoSmOotH> that means more games in opengl
[07:08] <pauldy> gaming is for the unproductive keep it on windows boxen
[07:08] <dawn_chorus> n2diy, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization/6%2e06
[07:08] <n2diy> cables: Thanks.
[07:08] <cables> pwnguin, ah. You don't have any old computers lying around?
[07:08] <cables> n2diy, hold on!
[07:08] <stmiller> There's something called SDL which means gaming can be great on Linux right now
[07:08] <TOoSmOotH> pauldy, Games are an excuse for most not to switch away from Windows
[07:08] <pwnguin> cables: not with the kind of storage id need to seriously back up
[07:08] <n2diy> cables: roger
[07:08] <prodigy> Opengl is unviversal, i wish they would have stuck with it for the mainstream graphics
[07:08] <cables> n2diy, if it dies and you need to resume it, use < wget -c URL >
[07:08] <pwnguin> cables: besides, it's quiet
[07:08] <n2diy> dawn_chorus: thank you.
[07:08] <pwnguin> cables: since it's an embedded arm processor, no fans etc
[07:09] <dawn_chorus> n2diy, your welcome.  i hope it all goes well for you.
[07:09] <cables> pwnguin, pretty much any computer with a NIC and a USB port can back up any amount of data. I guess it's just power usage and noise you're concerned about.
[07:09] <prodigy> Glide came and went, for awhile OpenGL was the way to go but hardly any games are coded for it no more. Unreal from epic use to i don't know about the new unreal 3 engine.  Idsoftware has always been good about linux and mac support
[07:09] <pwnguin> cables: shenannigans.
[07:09] <Deinumite> mmmm anyone here got virtual box running windows games?
[07:09] <eh> I didn't manage to find a method in which I can retrieve sound, as well as video, when playing streaming real media.
[07:09] <Deinumite> im trying to finally get Ubuntu to run games so i can ditch windows :O
[07:09] <pwnguin> cables: ive got 80 gigs of data.
[07:09] <eh> So I give up now, moving on...
[07:09] <Cybane> Are there any special utilites need for ubunut to recognize am external USB HDD?
[07:09] <cables> Deinumite, you can't run 3d apps in a VM
[07:10] <Deinumite> hmm
[07:10] <Azhi_Dahaka> Not yet
[07:10] <pwnguin> Cybane: not usually. is it not working for you?
[07:10] <cables> pwnguin, so?
[07:10] <Deinumite> plan b, :P run my xp install with wine hah
[07:10] <prodigy> I remeber my first opengl card, was the Monster 3d and i was playing Quakeworld back in 95 i think it was
[07:10] <Cybane> When I plug the drive into my USB ports it will not auto mount
[07:10] <cables> pwnguin, if I had that much data, my networked drive would work just fine.
[07:10] <ThePioneer> Can anyone tell me how to fire up Nessus after installing?
[07:10] <pwnguin> cables: so i dont have that much free space lying around
[07:10] <Cybane> I check dmesg and it is outputting an error
[07:10] <eh> Plan B: dual boot may be a good option for you.
[07:10] <prodigy> it ran at 640x480 i think. It was truly amazing back then, lol
[07:10] <dawn_chorus> Cybane, what's the error?
[07:10] <Deinumite> yeah i am duel booting, i just want to duel boot withouth the "booting" part
[07:11] <cables> pwnguin, wouldn't getting a new terabyte or so HD and using an old comp be cheaper than this solution?
[07:11] <stmiller> prodigy: LOL
[07:11] <eh> So, you don't want grub running the mbr?
[07:11] <dawn_chorus> "duel" boot  :)
[07:11] <Deinumite> how about....semi duel boot
[07:11] <Deinumite> and and only half boot
[07:11] <Deinumite> one half*
[07:11] <Deinumite> its late XD
[07:11] <pwnguin> cables: well the nlsu is only like 80 bucks, its essentially an old computer without the fan noise :P
[07:11] <greenhobo21> I have a map pack I downloaded to my desktop. When I try to move it to the base folder for my game, it says I do not have permission to do so. I know it is a nautilus command but I have forgotten how to get the pack there. Any help?
[07:11] <cables> pwnguin, ah, that's pretty cool.
[07:12] <Cybane> Driver 'sd' needs updating = please use bus_type methods
[07:12] <eh> We're chained, We're chained! CHAINED!... CHAIIIINEDED! CHAINED@
[07:12] <dawn_chorus> dueldual
[07:12] <Deinumite> i always do "sudo nautilus" to move my stuff around
[07:12] <eh> Awesome tuneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
[07:12] <cables> pwnguin, can you send me a link?
[07:12] <stmiller> let's duel
[07:12] <cables> Deinumite, try "gksudo nautilus" instead
[07:12] <eh> HEY!
[07:12] <Cybane> A lot of buffer I/O erros
[07:12] <pwnguin> cables: already lookin
[07:13] <ThePioneer> Nessus anyone?
[07:13] <prodigy> stmiller: Did you use to play quakeworld?
[07:13] <Azhi_Dahaka> guys, is there a way to set an automatic desktop enviroment for each session? not having to choose from the session menu on the startup, but set it on the accounts?
[07:13] <Azhi_Dahaka> for example, 4 accounts and 2 uses kde... how to set it automatically for those 2 instead of the manual setting?
[07:13] <pwnguin> cables: here's a good one http://www.nslu2-linux.org/
[07:13] <cables> pwnguin, found it
[07:13] <stmiller> prodigy: no my friends did. It was 'amazing!' back then
[07:13] <eh> I'm having problems with Firefox crashing all the time, how do I retrieve the error reports from the crashes?
[07:13] <eh> or bug reports?
[07:14] <raulh> ok i installed Irssi where is it lol cant find it in apps
[07:14] <cables> lol
[07:14] <cables> raulh, it's a command line program
[07:14] <ThePioneer> Nessus | help
[07:14] <Cybane> Anyone have an idea?
[07:14] <cables> raulh, xchat is what you want, not irssi
[07:14] <prodigy> Thats how the whole fileplanet enterprise got started. they made quakespy, which became Game Spy, started planetquake which all morphed into a huge company
[07:14] <raulh> -+_
[07:14] <n2diy> cables: ok, I better copy and paste this stuff.
[07:14] <raulh> ffs now
[07:14] <TOoSmOotH> prodigy, I had 2 Canopus pure 3d 2 voodoo 2s
[07:14] <n2diy> ! pastebin
[07:14] <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)
[07:15] <prodigy> Yea i had a similar setup where they had the cable that went to another vga plug to link them
[07:15] <Madpilot> raulh, you do know that irssi is a terminal/command line app, right? No full-on UI in the modern sense...
[07:15] <pwnguin> irssi is text based, which is nice if you want to present a uniform and persistant irc -- just ssh to a stable server and irc from there
[07:15] <dawn_chorus> Cybane, remember to append my name to your message, if you're messaging me.
[07:15] <prodigy> Kind of an old school "SLI" i guess
[07:15] <blstha> What encoding should I set in IDE (in Linux) for Source code to preserve characters inserted from WindowsOS?
[07:16] <pwnguin> blstha: are you sure you want that?
[07:16] <raulh> yes i know
[07:16] <blstha> Yeah I'm messing up the code
[07:16] <pwnguin> blstha: it's not really an encoding, just a format for line returns
[07:16] <Cybane> dawn_chorus: Driver 'sd' needs updating - please use bus_type_methods  and that is right before a lot of Buffer I/o Errors
[07:16] <cables> raulh, open a terminal and type "irssi" to start it... but what you really want is xchat.
[07:16] <blstha> No even characters are messed up
[07:17] <xlinux__> what do you guys think about PCLOS
[07:17] <raulh> no i dont lol
[07:17] <blstha> No even characters are messed up
[07:17] <raulh> i want irssi i like challanges
[07:17] <pwnguin> heh
[07:17] <cables> raulh, well, it's going to be a hell of a challenge if you didn't understand that it wouldn't show up in your apps menu
[07:17] <pwnguin> raulh: so start up a terminal, run irssi then type /connect irc.freenode.com
[07:17] <raulh> challange=keeps me alive
[07:17] <dawn_chorus> Cybane, read this : http://kerneltrap.org/comment/reply/8220/236935
[07:17] <sivaji>  how to reinstall  kubuntu without format??(i mean repairing)
[07:18] <TOoSmOotH> prodigy, It was the Original SLI
[07:18] <pwnguin> raulh: but how is it a challenge if we tell you how to do it? ;)
[07:18] <TOoSmOotH> prodigy, SLI isn't new
[07:18] <cables> Jeez, going from "not wanting to learn Xchat scripting" to "challenging yourself with irssi" in about 5 minutes is pretty intense
[07:18] <prodigy> Yea i know, they just link em up different now is what i meant
[07:19] <raulh> i said hw i start it -_-
[07:19] <FKi> whats ubuntu's version of limewire?
[07:19] <Cybane> dawn_chorus: so I need to use a different linux kernel?
[07:19] <cables> raulh, like i said... open a terminal and type irssi
[07:19] <eh> FKi: GTK
[07:19] <pwnguin> Cybane: is that a USB drive?
[07:19] <Deinumite> FKi, you could try frostwire, i think its just the opensource version of limewire
[07:19] <Cybane> I am using 6.06 LTS
[07:19] <raulh> ezx pezy im connected to my irc server already
[07:19] <FKi> Were do i get GTK or frostwire?
[07:20] <Cybane> pwnguin: It is an external enclosure
[07:20] <eh> fki: GTK gnutella
[07:20] <carl> synaptic
[07:20] <eh> from the resp
[07:20] <raulh> i kno lol was making a point he said how chllange if we tlel you i never asked for the client help sjut how launch it
[07:20] <eh> add and remove
[07:20] <Deinumite> FKi: i used automatix, although i heard that screws with packages or something
[07:20] <n2diy> cables: wget is cooking, 40 hours to go! :)
[07:20] <pwnguin> Cybane: for an sd card?
[07:20] <cables> raulh, you're using Gaim, not IRSSI...
[07:20] <cables> n2diy, yay for dial-up!
[07:20] <Cybane> pwnguin: IDE HDD
[07:20] <dawn_chorus> Cybane, i'm not sure.  it seems to be some sort of bug.
[07:20] <FKi> wich one would you recomend, frostwire or gnutella?
[07:20] <raulh> no im not im on irssi on my personal server?
[07:20] <dawn_chorus> Cybane, do you have any other kernels that you can boot into?
[07:20] <eh> so, applications, add and remove, then type GTK gnutella k fti?
[07:20] <greenhobo21> FrostWire works fine.
[07:21] <Deinumite> FKi: if you like limewire, frostwire looks basically identical
[07:21] <raulh> want me to priove myself?
[07:21] <eh> gnutella operates over multiply p2p networks, therefore GTK is the way too go
[07:21] <FKi> ok thanks alot
[07:21] <Cybane> dawn_chorus: I finished a basical install from the live CD and performed a system update
[07:21] <greenhobo21> FrostWire is LimeWore with all those damned ads and such and every DL is high speed
[07:21] <prodigy> Anyone here a Sopranos fan? Was tonights episode any good? I'm just starting it now
[07:21] <greenhobo21> without*
[07:21] <pwnguin> Cybane: well i think for some reason it seems the kernel thinks your enclosure is an sd card
[07:21] <idk> whats server name?
[07:21] <pwnguin> Cybane: so out of curiousity, why'd you pick 6.06 lts?
[07:21] <idk> ill connect
[07:22] <cables> idk, irc.freenode.net
[07:22] <Cybane> pwnguin: for stability
[07:22] <pwnguin> Cybane: as in less crashes?
[07:22] <cables> ha, LTS crashed more for me than Feisty
[07:22] <cables> stupid drivers :(
[07:22] <Cybane> pwnguin: nope just because I wanted something that works.  I have been working gentoo, freebsd and archlinux and I got fed up and decided I wanted something to just work right
[07:23] <pwnguin> yea, lts isnt about less crashes, but some people want a "stable environment" that they dont have to update for years
[07:23] <eh> no way, feisty is just beeing a punk for me.
[07:23] <dawn_chorus> Cybane, why didn't you try Debian as well?
[07:23] <Deinumite> So is there no way to get VirtualBox to let me use 3d aps?
[07:23] <cables> Deinumite, no way :(
[07:23] <n2diy> cables: LTS has worked fine for me, but why call it LTS, when they no longer ship cds for it?
[07:23] <Cybane> dawn_chorus: Because it never crossed my mind I like Gentoo for learning linux and Ubuntu for making my stuff work
[07:24] <pwnguin> Cybane: personally, i think you'd be better off with the not lts releases, but you're welcome to try it and report bugs.
[07:24] <idkanything> arrg my terminal snt respiding..
[07:24] <pwnguin> n2diy: they ship cds last i looked
[07:24] <Deinumite> oh well, thanks for the heads up, im off to sleep, later everyone
[07:24] <dawn_chorus> Cybane, your stuff in Gentoo doesn't work?
[07:24] <n2diy> pwnguin: not since the released 7.04.
[07:24] <Cybane> dawn_chorus: I suck at getting X to work
[07:24] <pwnguin> Cybane: part of the testings gonna want you to try a newer kernel, usually by grabbing a newer live cd (its less hassle than upgrading)
[07:24] <n2diy> the/they
[07:24] <raul> whats wrong cables ?
[07:24] <cables> n2diy, support doesn't mean CDs, it means updates
[07:25] <pwnguin> n2diy: i coulda swore it was an option when i requested cds two weeks ago
[07:25] <raul> you really thought i couldnt connect?
[07:25] <M4tth3w_07> can anyone please help me fix my linux-swap problem? it isnt auto detect and mount. i had to open gparted to mount it manually >,<
[07:25] <pwnguin> n2diy: it might be a special request situation though
[07:25] <raul> i kno most irc commands
[07:25] <Cybane> dawn_chorus:Also, every time I tried to emerge a WM it would error out
[07:25] <kuma> hi, im not sure if this is the right channel to do this question, but i try to ping a site and i get all the packages lost, but if i access it throug browser works fine, any idea what's hapenning?
[07:25] <n2diy> cables: I suppose?
[07:25] <adnan> hi
[07:25] <adnan> quick question
[07:25] <n2diy> pwnguin: i couldn't find them.
[07:25] <cables> raul, I wasn't doubting your ability to use IRC. But the thing is, you just asked us why IRSSI didn't appear in the app list!
[07:25] <prodigy> Anyone know if there is a virtual pc program that lets you tell it to use a second keyboard and mouse? That way i could put it on my second monitor and use that keyboard and mouse for a more real virutal pc?
[07:26] <adnan> who can tell me how replace evolution with Firebird
[07:26] <idkanything> b/c never used before..
[07:26] <idkanything> never heard befre
[07:26] <cables> adnan, Firebird?
[07:26] <cables> adnan, you mean thunderbird?
[07:26] <pwnguin> prodigy: i remember canonical announced they were hosting some company's software to do that, but it wasnt open source
[07:26] <adnan> I call it the firebird
[07:26] <adnan> hehehe
[07:26] <adnan> hehehe
[07:26] <adnan> lol
[07:26] <cables> adnan, just go to Applications>Add/Remove and choose Thunderbird
[07:26] <n2diy> adnan: I think all I did was use synaptic to install Firebird.
[07:26] <adnan> cool
[07:27] <cables> Wasn't Firebird Firefox's old name?
[07:27] <pwnguin> Cybane: phoenix
[07:27] <adnan> not sure
[07:27] <n2diy> adnan: I think all I did was use synaptic to install Firebird., whoops Thunderbird, and Firefox, and Sunbird too.
[07:27] <prodigy> That would be kind of cool. That way my brother when he's over could use that monitor as a terminal kinda since with what i run now i have to controll it with my keyboard
[07:27] <stoicmt> pwnguin: both
[07:27] <kbrosnan> at one time yes
[07:27] <cables> both
[07:27] <cables> yeah
[07:27] <stoicmt> phoenix -> firebird -> firefox
[07:27] <Tux_master__> Hey, Everbody... please!  HELP ME! "How conect in the Internet with Modem Dial Up in the Ubuntu"????
[07:27] <pwnguin> cables: it was phoenix, but they kept running into "someone already took that"
[07:28] <cables> pwnguin, I know
[07:28] <adnan> better hope its not a winmodem
[07:28] <kuma> i guess this want the right channel to ask aboutpinging a site, can somebody give me some directions to where i can get some help about this? :)
[07:28] <cables> someone else still owns firefox.com
[07:28] <adnan> tux_master__
[07:28] <cables> kuma, System>Administration>Network Tools
[07:28] <n2diy> Tux_master__: what version of Ubuntu?
[07:28] <adnan> I am not sure if that shit would work with ubonto
[07:28] <cables> !ohmy | adnan
[07:28] <ubotu> adnan: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[07:28] <Tux_master__> 0.76....
[07:28] <adnan> sorry
[07:28] <adam93250> i think i might of found a bug. My computer says i have a wired connection, but i dont.
[07:28] <prodigy> You can do it in the network setup i think, same place as the ether card setup
[07:28] <Tux_master__> The new version
[07:29] <adnan> excuse my french
[07:29] <adnan> won't do it again
[07:29] <cables> adnan, lol, I do that pretty often by accident.
[07:29] <prodigy> Been so long since I used dialup internet
[07:29] <kuma> cables thx
[07:29] <adnan> heheh
[07:29] <adnan> don't we all
[07:29] <adnan> heheh3e
[07:29] <pwnguin> my laptop has a modem. i guess in case i visit a 3rd world country hotel
[07:29] <n2diy> Tux_master__: ok, I'm on 6.06, can you click on system>admin>networking, and select dial up?
[07:30] <adnan> but yea I am really not sure if winmodems (meaning the internal ones only designed for windows without ubonto drivers)
[07:30] <raul> hmm
[07:30] <adnan> will work on ubonto
[07:30] <prodigy> Last time i used dialup was on my labtop when i use to plug it into my cell phone and is the cell as a modem
[07:30] <adnan> hehehe
[07:30] <adnan> COOOOLLL
[07:30] <prodigy> That was pretty cool technology when u could first do that
[07:30] <Tux_master__> n2diy: Ok, I configure all, but not conect... :-(
[07:30] <pwnguin> prodigy: that stuff's expensive
[07:30] <adnan> I am new to obonto and I like it ALOT
[07:30] <adnan> its pretty neat

[07:31] <clearzen> So, I'm trying to return the x session of a remote machine. But I want to return the x session to f8 instead of f7. Any idea how I could do this with ssh -X ?
[07:31] <pwnguin> adnan: im pretty sure there's at least one U in Ubuntu
[07:31] <adnan> ill try to

[07:31] <holycow> cables,  go away
[07:31] <idkanything> anyone know a program that can record your screen?
[07:31] <n2diy> Tux_master__: Do you activate the connection, what happens then?
[07:31] <holycow> i didn't aske you for anything
[07:31] <idkanything> for linux
[07:31] <n2diy> Do/did
[07:31] <idkanything> nvm g2g
[07:31] <Tux_master__> n2diy: I used the command: pppconfig...... that's all right, but Not connect
[07:31] <pwnguin> heh
[07:31] <pwnguin> that guy
[07:31] <cables> lol
[07:32] <n2diy> Tux_master__: ok, I'm on 6.06, can you click on system>admin>networking, and select dial up?
[07:32] <Tux_master__> n2diy: yes...
[07:32] <prodigy> Well time for me to shutdown the brain. Gotta get up and plug into society at my job at 4am.
[07:32] <cables> we had a guy in here a few days ago who introduced himself by saying that ubuntu sucked because it broke his Windows install, then proceeded to abuse us, despite us saying we wouldn't help him. Then some guy actually helped him... that was really obnoxious.
[07:32] <prodigy> nice chattin with ya'll
[07:33] <n2diy> Tux_master__: Did you then click on activate?
[07:33] <cables> (of the guy who helped him)
[07:33] <adnan> real prodigy
[07:33] <adnan> heheh
[07:33] <Tux_master__> n2diy: Yes.........., but,  you think the version 6.06 is the best??
[07:33] <pwnguin> cables: ah, the old "getting help by claiming linux sucks" technique
[07:33] <kada1> ubuntu
[07:33] <kada1> uhm
[07:33] <cables> pwnguin, yeah, seriously.
[07:33] <pwnguin> "linux sucks because gparted wont resize my drives so i can get more swap space"
[07:33] <holycow> what is truly stupid is that you would notice something like that
[07:33] <cables> pwnguin, then he started saying that he was "entitled" to support
[07:33] <n2diy> Tux_master__: Yes I do, for me at least.
[07:34] <cables> holycow, just shut up. Please. Stop wasting my scrollback.
[07:34] <jml> Is it possible to install Ubuntu to a USB pen drive?
[07:34] <holycow> case in point
[07:34] <Cybane> Linux is great as long as you use hardware that it supports
[07:34] <dawn_chorus> jml, yes, it is.
[07:34] <kadaz> linux is great if it does what you ask it to do.
[07:34] <holycow> Cybane, thats true of all oses
[07:34] <Tux_master__> n2diy: Ok... This new version is strange....
[07:34] <Cybane> Not Windows
[07:34] <Cybane> Hardware mfgs support the OS
[07:34] <holycow> including vista
[07:34] <cables> Cybane, Windows doesn't support my hardware.
[07:34] <jml> dawn_chorus: is the install process straightforward?
[07:35] <pwnguin> cables: well, there's /ignore. ubuntu / canonical claims it's supported for 18 months, and advertise free support on irc and mailing lists
[07:35] <n2diy> Tux_master__: Yes I know. :)
[07:35] <kadaz> that goes for my kids too,. but seriously
[07:35] <Tux_master__> n2diy: I'll download the Ubuntu 6.06, you have the link??
[07:35] <cables> Cybane, it was basically unusable until I installed third-party drivers. Ubuntu, however, worked out of the box.
[07:35] <kadaz> they are always great, but a little less
[07:35] <holycow> Tux_master__, ubuntu.com
[07:35] <dawn_chorus> jml, never done it myself.
[07:35] <cables> Tux_master__, I'd recommend using 7.04, it's much better.
[07:35] <cables> Tux_master__, easier to set up, and better drivers.
[07:35] <holycow> thats stupid
[07:35] <holycow> and wrong
[07:35] <kadaz> Hey guys, Iam trying to use tsclient as a vncviewer, but I dont have any displays coming up? why?
[07:35] <holycow> windows works on a terrific amount of hardware out of the box
[07:36] <n2diy> Tux_master__: Not of the top of my head, google for Ubuntu Dapper
[07:36] <pwnguin> omg xp was a pita to set up wireless on
[07:36] <holycow> just like linux it has to be older hardware
[07:36] <n2diy> of/off
[07:36] <cables> pwnguin, yeah, same for me.
[07:36] <dawn_chorus> jml, here's something for warmup reading.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromUSB
[07:36] <Matthai> idkanything, it is xvidcap
[07:36] <pwnguin> holycow: it was harder to set up my wireless card in XP than ubuntu
[07:36] <cables> Also, my Windows Wi-Fi driver bluescreens me every 3 times I boot.
[07:36] <Tux_master__> n2diy: hehehehe, Ok... Ahm, I'm used this version, hahahaha (7.04
[07:36] <Tux_master__> n2diy: :- )
[07:37] <holycow> pwnguin, *nod* regardless tho we shouldn't try to pick out favourable arguments when we know that roughly both oses do quite well on out of the box hardware detection
[07:37] <holycow> especially with older hardware
[07:37] <n2diy> Tux_master__: Roger that.
[07:37] <dawn_chorus> jml, here's a howto for edgy.
[07:37] <dawn_chorus> jml, http://technowizah.com/2006/11/ubuntu-how-to-ubuntu-edgy-from-usb.html
[07:37] <holycow> albeit linux has an advantage probably on esoteric hardware
[07:37] <Robert98374> Hello Everyone
[07:37] <clearzen> I'm trying to start multiple instances of  X on my system but when I try startx --:1 it gives me the error user not authorized to run x server. But when no X is running it will allow me to start an X session. What am I doing wrong?
[07:38] <cables> holycow, the fact that Windows gets updates like every 5 years while Ubuntu is updated every 6 months means that Ubuntu generally has more up-to-date out of the box hardware support. However, Windows definitely has more available drivers.
[07:38] <sivaji> !hi | Robert98374
[07:38] <ubotu> Robert98374: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[07:38] <Robert98374> Where can i find a good place to get gdesklets
[07:38] <kadaz> Oh hi clearzen
[07:38] <holycow> wrong
[07:38] <clearzen> kadaz: hi
[07:38] <xlinux__> thats weird.. whenever beryl is running I cant close the konversation server list window
[07:38] <holycow> but anyway welcome to my ignore list
[07:38] <Tux_master__> n2diy: :D, but if the version 6.06 is best.... ok!! hehehehe, Desktop 3D!! :)
[07:38] <cables> lol holycow is amazing
[07:38] <naor> hi
[07:39] <Tux_master__> n2diy: I'm using kurumin 7, HAHAHAHAHA......... simple, simple... :D
[07:39] <n2diy> Tux_master__: I don't know anything about Desktop 3D, I'm not a gamer, and don't need it.
[07:40] <n2diy> Tux_master__: I play majong, and backgammon, I don't think I need 3D? :)
[07:40] <xlinux__> anyone know the network/server for PCLinuxOS?
[07:41] <Tux_master__> n2diy: I understand, The Desktop 3D is only a alternative.
[07:41] <phiqtion> any extra repositories to add which contain restricted software like w32codecs?
[07:41] <cables> phiqtion, restricted :)
[07:41] <no0b> Can someone help me with Azureus?
[07:41] <cables> Tux_master__, are you choosing between 6.06 and 7.04?
[07:41] <dawn_chorus> !medibuntu | phiqtion
[07:41] <ubotu> phiqtion: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/
[07:41] <cables> !anyone | no0b
[07:41] <ubotu> no0b: 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?
[07:41] <no0b> Each time I open it, it closes really fast?
[07:41] <phiqtion> thx
[07:42] <n2diy> Tux_master__: Not on my dual PII 333mhz box.
[07:42] <cables> no0b, that's because Azureus sucks, and there's no way to fix this problem. Use something else.
[07:42] <no0b> gees cables, don't be an ass man
[07:42] <xlinux__> no0b.. delete the .azureus folder in /home
[07:42] <no0b> what do you recommend?
[07:42] <clearzen> no0b: ktorrent is okay. rtorrent is good for remote stuff but it's CLI
[07:42] <Robert98374> no0b Opera
[07:42] <cables> no0b, I'm not trying to... but the only way to fix it is to delete .azureus, and then it'll only happen again.
[07:42] <cables> no0b, I've never finished a download with Azureus.
[07:42] <xlinux__> no0b: then it will work for a while and then start doing it again
[07:42] <Tux_master__> n2diy: I don't know what is the best,,,
[07:43] <no0b> ok then thx very much
[07:43] <xlinux__> I think bittornado is the best
[07:43] <cables> no0b, if you want something nice and simple, go to http://deluge-torrent.org and download that, or install wine and use utorrent.
[07:43] <Tux_master__> n2diy: I was use 7.04, but not connect.....
[07:43] <no0b> can we get utorrent for the linuc?
[07:43] <Tux_master__> n2diy: Good computer.... :D
[07:43] <n2diy> Tux_master__: What works for you!
[07:43] <clearzen> xlinux__: naw, if you have a spare machine torrentflux rocks
[07:43] <cables> no0b, install wine and you can run the Windows uTorrent
[07:43] <sivaji> no0b yes
[07:43] <xlinux__> no0b: try bittornado
[07:43] <no0b> thx people, thx very much
[07:44] <Tux_master__> n2diy: I self....
[07:44] <pwnguin> cables: azureus works fine, its ubuntu's packaging
[07:44] <kadaz> Iam trying to use tsclient for a vncviewer, but the window display doesnt pop up?
[07:44] <xlinux__> clearzen: why do I need a spare machine for torrentflux and why does it rock
[07:44] <n2diy> Tux_master__: For $100 US, including 17 monitor, keyboard and mouse, yes.
[07:44] <xlinux__> does anyone know the network/ server for PCLOS?
[07:44] <cables> pwnguin, why haven't they fixed that? it was like this in Edgy, and I think Dapper as well.
[07:44] <pwnguin> cables: because nobody cares and its in universe
[07:44] <Tux_master__> n2diy: WHOA!.........
[07:44] <Tux_master__> HAUIHUAUIAHA
[07:44] <pwnguin> cables: ask MOTU
[07:45] <cables> pwnguin, how the hell does nobody care? I mean, it's only the MOST POPULAR torrent client, pretty much.
[07:45] <patricio> nnn
[07:46] <xlinux__> clearzen: whats so great about torrentflux?
[07:46] <Tux_master__> n2diy: Thanks, but I'm glad with my.... Sempron 2.0 768 RAM .....
[07:46] <pwnguin> cables: probably because everyone just downloads the latest release, puts it in their home dir and doesn't bother figuring out what's broken with the debian package. my guess is it's either the native look and feel or the native binaries
[07:46] <clearzen> xlinux__: it's built to be a torrent server basically. It uses bit tornado for the torrent program under the GUI though
[07:46] <cables> pwnguin, that's annoying
[07:46] <phiqtion> dawn_chorus: after installing medibuntu, packages offer to install or i have to issue the install command to get them?
[07:46] <dawn_chorus> phiqtion, you'll have to issue a command.
[07:46] <xlinux__> clearzen: thats greek to me- I dont understand why that would be better
[07:46] <clearzen> xlinux__: you can have multiple users, bandwidth control and a web gui you can use from anywhere basically
[07:46] <dawn_chorus> or two.  :)
[07:47] <xlinux__> haha, nm

[07:47] <Robert98374> Wheres a good place to get Gdesklets?

[07:56] <dawn_chorus> Robert98374, you configure conky by editing the ~/.conkyrc file.  it's pretty easy, really.
[07:56] <n2diy> Tux_master__: I'm iin OT

[07:57] <dawn_chorus> name_goes_here, doesn't matter.
[07:57] <cables> pwnguin, what do you mean by a backup tool? It has cp, tar, etc...

[07:58] <holycow> pwnguin, no, but it should actually, thats an interesting idea
[07:58] <name_goes_here> thus the need to edit RAID
[07:58] <pwnguin> cables: something i can write to a vista smb share with without wanting to stab myself in the eye
[07:58] <dawn_chorus> name_goes_here, unless it's within an extended partition.  then it must be logical.  outside, it needs to be primary.
[07:58] <cables> pwnguin, you can't go to it in Places>Network?
[07:58] <pwnguin> cables: i can, but i cant seem to delte anything
[07:58] <xlinux__> dang.. for as large as PCLinuxOS is, its amazing how small and crappy there irc channels are...

[08:06] <Phylo> how can I install Ubuntu OVER the old one (format it completely if I need to)
[08:06] <dawn_chorus> partition the disk.
[08:07] <dawn_chorus> *or the partition.
[08:07] <cables> Phylo, in manual partitioning, select the old Ubuntu partitions as the ones you want to use for your new install.
[08:07] <holycow> Phylo, when you are doing the manul paritioning you will have the option to set it to format or keep data
[08:07] <holycow> obviously select format for all partitions you want
[08:08] <romunov> aloha
[08:08] <aoceuhe> holycow, already got him covered :)
[08:08] <romunov> i have a problem with my proftpd
[08:08] <romunov> when a user tries to download a file, he gets permission denied
[08:08] <romunov> even though i've set permission to download (i use gproftpd)
[08:08] <n2diy> ! aloha
[08:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about aloha - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:09] <romunov> i've set chmod to 755 of the target directory
[08:10] <Phylo> ok, I chose Manual, forward.  I have /dev/sda which has no size or mount point, sda1-ntfs mounted under /media/sda1 (that's good I think), and sda2-ext3 also mounted under /media
[08:10] <Phylo> (and a swap partition)
[08:10] <n2diy> romunov: and...?
[08:11] <insomniac190> is there any way to get the webcam in my laptop with feisty installed to work?
[08:11] <dawn_chorus> Phylo, sounds like you want to mount sda2 to / , and format that partition.
[08:11] <cables> Phylo, your main partition should be mounted to /, the swap one should just be set to swap.
[08:11] <cables> Phylo, although it looks like dawn_chorus is a step ahead of me :)
[08:11] <dawn_chorus> net delay probably.
[08:12] <pwnguin> gnome vfs for samba is just plain painful
[08:12] <pwnguin> hopefully the kernel people are better at this

[08:12] <cables> pwnguin, yeah, although I don't like KDE, KIO is great.
[08:12] <holycow> insomniac190, typically no
[08:12] <holycow> insomniac190, just some background info
[08:12] <romunov> i'm out of ideas what could be causing this permission denied message
[08:12] <holycow> there are NO known video cam chipsets with open source drivers
[08:13] <holycow> thus all are reverse engineered
[08:13] <benpicco> any ideas where to enter global proxy settings?
[08:13] <dawn_chorus> romunov, where is user trying to download the files to?
[08:13] <holycow> your best bet is to find out the exact vid capture chipset for your laptop and the google up the relavent drivers for them
[08:14] <insomniac190> holycow, thats what i had gathered from reading about webcam support, will try google out
[08:14] <n2diy> romunov: you haven't explained what permission you where denied? Or I missed it, 5 only give read and execute permissions, not write permission.
[08:14] <arooni> if i if one accidentally chown'd all your files in / to be owned by some other user... is there a way to undo that action?  (the files were owned by multiple users before the command went through)
[08:14] <romunov> but does he need write permission from my machine?
[08:14] <FireJet> Can someone remind me of the command that shows all currently installed packages?
[08:14] <romunov> from what i gather, you only need read?
[08:14] <cables> FireJet, < dpkg -i | grep ii > i think
[08:14] <romunov> firejet Synaptic :)

[08:22] <dawn_chorus> jack, which kernel?
[08:22] <jack> one sec
[08:23] <holycow> alex-90g, typically that is as a result of unsupported hardware
[08:23] <holycow> what are you trying to install it on?
[08:23] <dawn_chorus> jack, uname -r
[08:23] <Phylo> the installer won't get past 15% _detecting filesystems (I left it for two hours last time)

[08:25] <jack> dawn_chorus: 2.6.20-16-generic
[08:25] <holycow> alex-90g, not really enough information.  typically that is a misconfigured xorg.conf file
[08:25] <jack> erm .16-generic
[08:25] <n2diy> Watermelon2: this is the help channel?
[08:25] <dawn_chorus> jack, and it's done this every time you've tried to boot into this kernel?
[08:25] <varka> alex-first of all install nvidia-glx-new instead of nvidia-glx and then post your xorg.conf here with a nopaste-service
[08:25] <insomniac190> i installed the 32-bit version of feisty on my laptop with a core 2 duo processor...should i have installed the 64-bit version?
[08:25] <jack> yeah
[08:25] <alex-90g> holycow: so what do i do at this point?
[08:25] <jburd> How soon will emacs 22 be available in the repositories?
[08:25] <jack> it doesnt boot up completely into kubuntu, i can only enter a shell with "recovery mode"

[08:26] <dawn_chorus> jack, perhaps it's a bug in the kernel.  do you have any other kernel entries in your GRUB menu that you can boot into?
[08:26] <benpicco> does anybody know how to configure the computer to use a proxy to acces the Internet?

[08:26] <jack> i doubt its a kernel issue :x
[08:26] <dawn_chorus> try booting into that one.
[08:26] <jack> did
[08:26] <Phylo> why "no"paste?
[08:26] <jack> .15 behaves exactly the same
[08:27] <cables> Phylo, because you're not supposed to paste to the channel
[08:27] <Phylo> aah
[08:27] <varka> ^^
[08:27] <stiv2k> hey hit me up if you need any
[08:27] <Joker> There's a terminal command to see the kernel version you're using, what is it?
[08:27] <cables> Joker, uname -r
[08:27] <Joker> Thank you
[08:27] <thoreauputic> Joker: uname -a
[08:27] <sutabi> Is there a way to only start-up in console mode rather then load up xorg?
[08:27] <thoreauputic> or uname -r
[08:27] <MasseR> AFAIK I know that one can "use" ubuntu on windows, but can one install it from there?
[08:27] <cables> MasseR, yes, but it's beta
[08:28] <MasseR> cables: Hmm?
[08:28] <cables> MasseR, it's called Wubi (google it)
[08:28] <MasseR> cables: Okay, thansk
[08:28] <thinkingman> wow you can install from within windows now?
[08:28] <maeth> hi , im trying to install this splash screen, im using feisty fawn, http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Arch+Glass+Bootsplash?content=58864
[08:28] <thinkingman> you guys are really targeting the ms converts eh?
[08:28] <Watermelon2> ok thanks.I have ubuntu 7.04 feisty 64,but I was unable to intall ati 'official'(propertiery) driver.I have been following the guide on 'cchtml' wiki,everything worked ok except the 3d acceleration(it always uses mesa soft opengl implementation before and after driver installation)
[08:28] <dawn_chorus> jack, can you get the exact error that's produced when you boot?
[08:28] <holycow> thinkingman, not really no
[08:29] <maeth> and i cant find on the second instruction /etc/splash folder... it doesnt exist
[08:29] <holycow> thinkingman, just really trying to stretch out beyond the linux guru
[08:29] <dawn_chorus> i think that's part of ubuntu's goal: convert Windows users.
[08:29] <holycow> afterall linux is very easy to use
[08:29] <MasseR> cables: Or do you know whether it is possible to install ubuntu from network? (Or floppy)
[08:29] <cables> easier than Windows now, I find
[08:29] <dawn_chorus> !bug0
[08:29] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bug0 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:29] <cables> MasseR, yes, but I don't know how
[08:29] <cables> bug 0
[08:29] <jack> dawn_chorus: it just hangs, after executing all the rc6 scripts with start
[08:29] <dawn_chorus> thx cables
[08:29] <Phylo> my computer freezes at 15%-detecting-filesystems when I try to install Ubuntu, any ideas why?  (dual booting with XP
[08:29] <Phylo> )
[08:29] <thinkingman> holycow: Makes sense, I was fairly surprised to see ubuntu machines on dell's front page not too long ago too
[08:29] <tonyyarusso> thinkingman: I wouldn't recommend the within-Windows installer.  It's by no means official, btw.
[08:30] <insomniac190> what version of feisty should be installed on a computer wioth a core 2 duo processor?
[08:30] <cables> ubotu used to automatically parse bug numbers in messages, like this: bug 0
[08:30] <jack> dawn_chorus: then x doesnt come up, and init seems dead
[08:30] <cables> insomniac190, regular desktop version
[08:30] <dawn_chorus> insomniac190, whichever you like?
[08:30] <holycow> thinkingman, that won't last i dont' think.  i think its only a marketing gimmick
[08:30] <nalioth> insomniac190: for best results, the i386 version
[08:30] <tonyyarusso> cables: still does, but not in this channel
[08:30] <n2diy> thinkingman: that is bug #1
[08:30] <maeth> k... gonna mkdir the folder then...
[08:30] <cables> tonyyarusso, ah.
[08:30] <nalioth> insomniac190: if you don't play games, the amd64 (or 64 bit) version
[08:30] <thinkingman> tonyyarusso: Since I switched to ubuntu about 8 months ago I haven't had need to do anything within windows
[08:30] <MasseR> cables: Thanks, google was friendly :)
[08:30] <cables> Wubi is actually quite nice, but it's very beta. I see no drawbacks though.
[08:30] <holycow> but it is nice to see them try to do it ... they seem to be trying to do it right, targeting linux users rather than trying to sell it as a windows replacement
[08:30] <tonyyarusso> thinkingman: I don't have Windows on either machine any more.
[08:31] <dark|slyde> will ultimate 1.3 run linuxMCE?
[08:31] <jburd> If my mom and girlfriend can use Ubuntu, anybody can.  :P
[08:31] <maeth> seems that i dont have a package...
[08:31] <dawn_chorus> jack, i'm not sure what's going on man.
[08:31] <maeth> can somebody help?
[08:31] <n2diy> thinkingman: Isn't it nice to be M$ free?
[08:31] <thinkingman> well, that is once I bit the bullet and got cedega so I could use photoshop again
[08:32] <jack> me neither dawn_chorus
[08:32] <jack> i only wondered if that rw-but-not-writable thing is a common issue
[08:32] <dark|slyde> should i just run linux mce with 6.10?
[08:32] <insomniac190> nalioth, dont play games...would the 64bit version show a big difference in my computers performance?
[08:32] <remfarkas> hi, using ubuntu wiki to install java runtime 6, but when i do fakeroot make-jpkg jre-6-linux-i586.bin, it says no matching plugin found
[08:32] <jack> since i remember having seen that in breezy already, too
[08:32] <dawn_chorus> jack, try booting into a livecd, chrooting and updating.
[08:32] <nalioth> insomniac190: not that much, we are only human
[08:32] <cables> insomniac190, no, and you'd have to go without quite a bit of important software
[08:32] <maeth> k... this sucks
[08:32] <dark|slyde> no one loves me
[08:32] <cables> insomniac190, thing like flash and most drivers don't work on the 64 bit version
[08:33] <dark|slyde> lol
[08:33] <nalioth> insomniac190: if you want flash and realplayer and w32codecs and such, use the i386 version
[08:33] <oddalot> ...
[08:33] <francois> hi, this might be dumb, but wheres my trash can in feist?
[08:33] <jack> ok
[08:33] <jack> worth a try
[08:33] <jack> laters
[08:33] <oddalot> on the bottom tool bar
[08:33] <cables> francois, bottom right of the screen
[08:33] <tonyyarusso> francois: ~/.Trash
[08:33] <maan84> Hi, I installed a game with Wine, where do I go to find the files? :) ty
[08:33] <n2diy> ! love | dark|slyde
[08:33] <ubotu> dark|slyde: Love is like racing across the frozen tundra on a snowmobile which flips over, trapping you underneath. At night, the ice-weasels come.
[08:33] <cables> maan84, ~/.wine/drive_c
[08:33] <francois> so i don't see it by default ?
[08:33] <dark|slyde> :D
[08:33] <insomniac190> okay...ill stick with my current version.  thanks cables and nalioth
[08:33] <maan84> cables: thank you=)
[08:33] <cables> francois, you're supposed to... but if you don't, right click on the panel and add it
[08:33] <cables> no problem guys
[08:33] <francois> cables: ah thank you
[08:34] <thinkingman> n2diy: I gotta admit once I got over a few hurdles it's been incredibly great
[08:34] <dark|slyde> now if someone can answer if ultimate 1.3 will be a problem if i install linux mce
[08:34] <remfarkas> hi, using ubuntu wiki to install java runtime 6, but when i do fakeroot make-jpkg jre-6-linux-i586.bin, it says no matching plugin found
[08:34] <dark|slyde> i will be happy
[08:34] <cables> dark|slyde, both are unofficial, we can't help you with those.
[08:34] <varka> insomniac190: there are very few reasons to run a 64bit system if you dont use more than 4GB of ram for one running process at a time
[08:34] <thinkingman> although life would be better if I could get this mv command working with sed
[08:34] <dark|slyde> thanks, ill try it out and go with 6.10
[08:34] <neil_feisty> maan84, try searching /.wine
[08:34] <maeth> is there an easy way to change the bootscreen??
[08:35] <cables> !usplash | maeth
[08:35] <ubotu> maeth: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork
[08:35] <tonyyarusso> !java | remfarkas (it's easier....)
[08:35] <ubotu> remfarkas (it's easier....): 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
[08:35] <sutabi> Anyone know the audio input path for the mic?
[08:35] <maeth> cables, thnx
[08:35] <cables> np
[08:35] <cables> sutabi, /dev/dsp normally
[08:35] <thinkingman> as a PHP programmer, bash/sed syntax always gives me troubles
[08:35] <n2diy> thinkingman: yep, I'm M$ free for six years, not looking back either.
[08:36] <remfarkas> thx, i willl try
[08:36] <thinkingman> n2diy: I'm still stuck using windows for remote shooting and capture and raw conversion for my camera, but I've already put in a few notes to Canon support mentioning how nice it'd be if they would play nice with the linux community
[08:37] <maeth> cables, k , seems it was installed
[08:37] <holycow> thinkingman, canon will NEVER listen
[08:37] <maeth> cables, off course actually, it was a graphic of ubuntu splash on feisty...
[08:37] <holycow> they are quite hostile to anything remotely open source related
[08:37] <holycow> same with asus
[08:37] <maeth> cables, but then again , how do i change it??
[08:37] <remfarkas> thx, ubotu to help with a such (i guess) trivial question :)
[08:38] <cables> remfarkas, ubotu is a bot
[08:38] <remfarkas> :P lol
[08:38] <remfarkas> true
[08:38] <name_goes_here> this guide is missing something:  http://users.piuha.net/martti/comp/ubuntu/raid.html   or I'm missing something...  probably the latter
[08:38] <cables> maeth, I'm not sure
[08:38] <remfarkas> my thanks goes to tonyyarusso :D
[08:38] <rivaL|tj007s13> I have a Dual Core 2.6ghz pc with 2gb of ram, Will I see any performance difference between Ubuntu, KUbuntu, and XUbuntu??
[08:38] <tonyyarusso> remfarkas: yw
[08:38] <thinkingman> holycow: I can kinda see why on the raw conversion thing, Canon and Nikon have been warring over many things for some time, who's got the best raw files is one of them
[08:38] <rivaL|tj007s13> I plan on getting 64bit for either of the 3
[08:38] <n2diy> thinkingman: Hmm, i thought camera support was pretty good in linux? Tell, you the truth though, I haven't played with my camera since switching from FC1.
[08:38] <cables> rivaL|tj007s13, you might, but all will run just great on your system
[08:38] <cables> rivaL|tj007s13, don't get 64bit
[08:39] <maeth> cables, k...
[08:39] <rivaL|tj007s13> ?
[08:39] <cables> rivaL|tj007s13, it's only a minimal performance improvement, and you won't be able to use flash and a lot of drivers.
[08:39] <cables> rivaL|tj007s13, I'd go with i386
[08:39] <rivaL|tj007s13> oh
[08:39] <rivaL|tj007s13> I was thinking like double the performance
[08:39] <thinkingman> n2diy: I need more than file transfer though, I need remote shooting and the ability to change camera settings, those are some pretty specific functions
[08:39] <varka> rivaL|tj007s13: a very bit between kubuntu and ubuntu and a lot between them and xubuntu, but you dont have to use xubuntu as your system has far enough performance for kde or gnome
[08:39] <rivaL|tj007s13> more like 5%?
[08:39] <cables> rivaL|tj007s13, lol, pretty much
[08:40] <rivaL|tj007s13> which is better kde or gnome?
[08:40] <rivaL|tj007s13> I'm lost at which i should get
[08:40] <cables> rivaL|tj007s13, I like Gnome, but it's a matter of opinion
[08:40] <thinkingman> But it's not too bad, I just reboot into windows, shoot what I need to shoot, post-process and reboot to ubuntu
[08:40] <varka> rivaL|tj007s13: its a matter of believe
[08:40] <bogie_> huy
[08:40] <thinkingman> and of course now...fight with sed
[08:40] <cables> rivaL|tj007s13, it doesn't really matter what you choose, it's trivial to add KDE or XFCE after it's installed
[08:41] <maeth> cables, dude it was really easy... just checked the .conf and then it said "splashscreen file =" and the path and file name
[08:41] <bogie_> I love You
[08:41] <n2diy> thinkingman: Ok, well remote shooting was high end stuff in the old days too. So was remote control. Never became that advanced.
[08:41] <varka> rivaL|tj007s13: if you are very new to ubuntu you should start with gnome perhaps as it is the most documented desktop of ubuntu
[08:41] <rivaL|tj007s13> aight
[08:41] <rivaL|tj007s13> thanks
[08:41] <cables> rivaL|tj007s13, and if you want to switch, it's really really easy, no need to download a new ISO or anything
[08:41] <thinkingman> as far as I can tell the output is right, it's generating 'mv IMG_5741 copy.jpg IMG_5741.jpg', but mv keeps telling me that IMG_5741.jpg isn't a directory
[08:41] <cables> rivaL|tj007s13, you can even have more than one, and select which one you want at boot.
[08:41] <n2diy> thinkingman: What are you doing, nature photos?
[08:42] <punsad> anyone here try to use a VPN client on an emulated Windows box (e.g. Xen) on Ubuntu?  just wondering how easy is this to get working
[08:42] <rivaL|tj007s13> Now, does 64bit work the same with linux as it does Windows? like certain apps are 32bit and certain apps are 64bit, and there are sepparate installations ect..
[08:42] <thinkingman> n2diy: some, usually for macro though
[08:42] <cables> rivaL|tj007s13, the problem is, it takes a hell of a lot of work to get 32 bit apps working on 64 bit linux
[08:42] <name_goes_here> number of spare devices for RAID1 array??    0 right?
[08:42] <tonyyarusso> thinkingman: You should be using 'rename' first off, secondly you should use \ to escape spaces.
[08:43] <cables> rivaL|tj007s13, and things like flash, and certain important drivers, aren't in the 64 bit version
[08:43] <varka> rivaL|tj007s13:  there are very few reasons to run a 64bit system if you dont use more than 4GB of ram for one running process at a time
[08:43] <n2diy> thinkingman: remote macro? Bugs?
[08:43] <name_goes_here> but you can use flash in "Opera"
[08:43] <rivaL|tj007s13> ok
[08:43] <rivaL|tj007s13> thanks for all the answers
[08:43] <cables> name_goes_here, flash is flash no matter what browser it's running on
[08:44] <name_goes_here> flash will run in opera on a 64bit system I've heared
[08:44] <name_goes_here> have not tried it
[08:44] <punsad> anyone use Xen on Ubuntu?
[08:44] <name_goes_here> I keep 32 running on my 64's
[08:44] <name_goes_here> so I dunno really
[08:44] <thinkingman> n2diy: a little, mainly non-organic stuff or water, but my eyes aren't good enough to get an accurate idea from the LCD on the camera, so I shoot from the laptop and get a MUCH more detailed preview
[08:45] <rivaL|tj007s13> one last question, I was talking to some linux "guru" and he said that ubuntu tends to be bloated and debian is superior? is he just old school and thats his opinion? or does that hold any merit
[08:45] <rivaL|tj007s13> << linux starter
[08:45] <cables> rivaL|tj007s13, he's just old school, Debian is a hard distro to start with.
[08:45] <tonyyarusso> rivaL|tj007s13: personal opionion whenever you hear things like that, no matter which position they take.
[08:45] <holycow> rivaL|tj007s13, thats wrong information
[08:45] <cables> rivaL|tj007s13, Ubuntu's just fine for most people, and the built-in apps are useful.
[08:45] <holycow> ubunut is basically debian
[08:45] <thinkingman> rivaL|tj007s13: I found that anyone referring to themselves as a guru tends to fall into the 'old school and opinionated' category
[08:46] <kiwiturnAUS> anyone tried K3B?
[08:46] <holycow> it freezes off of debian unstable every 6 months
[08:46] <rivaL|tj007s13> tahts what i thought
[08:46] <PurpZeY> rivaL|tj007s13: Ubuntu is designed to be easier to use. . That's why it's "bloated" it is the same as debian...but it includes more for your average user, and therefore is "bloated"
[08:46] <tonyyarusso> !debian | rivaL|tj007s13
[08:46] <ubotu> rivaL|tj007s13: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu!
[08:46] <holycow> then some modifications and patches are added and a little bit of custom stuff
[08:46] <rivaL|tj007s13> i looked at debian and it looks crazy
[08:46] <benpicco> any Ideas how to get the pc using a proxy?
[08:46] <holycow> to make the desktop experience more friendly
[08:46] <cables> holycow, not really... it's basically debian with a bunch more default apps and some customized packages
[08:46] <cables> and a cool gui installer :)
[08:46] <benpicco> !proxy
[08:46] <n2diy> thinkingman: roger that. I'm mostly a hardware guy, and folks are doing similar with the tiny surface mount components found in todays electronics. Haven't pursued that either.
[08:46] <ubotu> The #ubuntu channel and related channels ban users joining from anonymous gateways like tor/silenceisdefeat/cgi:irc because the abuse:useful ratio is close to infinity:nothing -- project cloaks will let you join, otherwise you should simply not use an anonymizer.
[08:46] <ubotu> Attention tor users.  You may think you are anonymous, but you are not.  Please visit http://tor.unixgu.ru/ and see for yourself.   Please evaluate your need to use tor here on irc.  If you wish anonymity, Freenode offers cloaks of many different types. http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks
[08:46] <phasma> debian has a cool gui installer
[08:46] <holycow> however for all its worth, its pretty close to stock debian, there is nothing here that can be considered blaot by any standards therefore
[08:46] <name_goes_here> configuring RAID sucks!
[08:47] <thinkingman> tonyyarusso: the space in the filename is the output of this sed command for file in *\ copy.jpg ; do mv $file `echo $file | sed 's/\(.*\)\ copy.jpg/\1.jpg/'` ;done
[08:47] <rivaL|tj007s13> Thanks all, im out
[08:47] <thinkingman> is there any way to tell sed to escape the space?
[08:47] <kiwiturnAUS> does anyone know how to nstall nero linux
[08:47] <kiwiturnAUS> ?
[08:47] <phasma> the actually linux version or running wine?
[08:47] <tonyyarusso> thinkingman: ah, ok - I think you already did it.  Still, rename would take care of that in way fewer steps ;)
[08:47] <thinkingman> it...would

[08:48] <Tm_T> agh!
[08:48] <icf7> kiwiturnAUS: Most likely, you misspelled the package name
[08:48] <cables> kiwiturnAUS, just double click the package file, it'll install

[08:52] <cweagans> PurpZeY: will those same settings work if I switch display managers with Beryl?
[08:52] <DgrMouse> thinkingman: yuyp... y?
[08:53] <PurpZeY> cweagans: I don't follow.
[08:53] <n2diy> thinkingman: Where is that, OZ?
[08:53] <PurpZeY> cweagans: Is the question, you are now running beryl and will this work under beryl, yes...It is a fix for video problems with beryl. So if you were asking if this might help video playback in beryl as well, it should.
[08:54] <cweagans> PurpZeY: ah

[08:56] <thinkingman> name_goes_here: Manchester
[08:56] <n2diy> thinkingman: bonnaroo, in TN, USA?
[08:56] <thinkingman> n2diy: yep
[08:56] <n2diy> bucat: /var/log/dmesg
[08:56] <thinkingman> n2diy: more info: http://www.bonnaroo.com/
[08:57] <n2diy> thinkingman: Hmm, I could make that, I'm in E. Pa.
[08:57] <bucat> n2diy:  thanks a lots!!
[08:57] <thinkingman> n2diy: I'm in central PA
[08:57] <thinkingman> York
[08:57] <kraut> moin
[08:57] <n2diy> bucat: nada, sorry for the typo/brain cramp.
[08:58] <name_goes_here> about 5 hours from me I'm guessing
[08:58] <name_goes_here> hmm
[08:58] <thinkingman> but I'm leaving from Ocean City MD to go to bonnaroo, figure I might as well plan a multi-front attack on my liver
[08:58] <n2diy> thinkingman: I'm in Lansford, Carbon County, the closest LUG is the Lehigh Valley LUG, in Bethlehem.
[08:59] <al_islam> hi nedko
[08:59] <bucat> n2diy: sorry just one question^^ i need to read old boot's log because my ubuntu have some problem in the starting so..in dmesg i read only the last boot's log
[08:59] <thinkingman> n2diy: Gotcha, I'm in Lancaster Lug, but it's more of a social club than a lug any more
[08:59] <n2diy> thinkingman: York! I'm a ham, and talk to guys there regularly.
[08:59] <thinkingman> our meetings are almost always over wings or similar fare, and I don't recall the last time we actually talked about linux
[09:00] <thinkingman> n2diy: yeah I can imagine, there's not much else to do in York
[09:00] <Madpilot> thinkingman, n2diy - could you take the offtopic chat to PM or #ubuntu-offtopic, please?
[09:00] <thinkingman> tonyyarusso: hey rename did make my life a lot easier, thx
[09:00] <Phylo> Can I format a partition (just format it, don't do anything else) using an Ubuntu CD?
[09:00] <name_goes_here> has anyone here ever configured RAID before?
[09:00] <n2diy> thinkingman: Roger that. Things ebb and flow.
[09:00] <name_goes_here> surely someone here has
[09:01] <thinkingman> sorry Madpilot
[09:01] <tuxican> hello, has anyone in here had trouble getting fstab configured correctly to burn dvd's?
[09:02] <n2diy> thinkingman: Madpilot, Roger that, sorry did we wake you up? ;) thinkingman I'm already logged in over there.
[09:02] <roxlu> Hi there! How can I connect to a ftp address, using: ftp:[username] :[password] @ip  , when there is a "@" in the password?
[09:03] <clearzen> roxlu: -l username -p password can be used as well I believe
[09:04] <thinkingman> roxlu: did you try escaping the @ (xxx\@xxxx)?
[09:04] <roxlu> but not as a url right?
[09:04] <roxlu> no
[09:04] <roxlu> gonna try it now
[09:04] <thinkingman> I don't know if that will actually work, but that'd be my first guess
[09:04] <roxlu> escaping doesn't work either
[09:05] <thinkingman> what about quoting? 'username'@'password' ?
[09:05] <roxlu> tried that... (or something like that).. on sec.
[09:05] <roxlu> nope
[09:06] <sx66> My resolution is low: I have a     * Graphics Processor / Vendor * Intel Extreme Graphics with a * Video Memory * 64 MB How would I fix the resolution?
[09:06] <thinkingman> I suppose it'd be too easy to just change the password
[09:06] <n2diy> thinkingman: are we playing in bash, or what? I thought you escaped characters \@\, but maybe that is perl?
[09:08] <maan84> Weird question, I use Emerald, can I somehow zoom in?:)
[09:08] <thinkingman> n2diy: good point
[09:09] <thinkingman> roxlu: what about n2diy's idea?
[09:09] <drewski02> anyone in here familiar with Xchat
[09:09] <n2diy> maan84: ctrl and +?
[09:09] <orbin> sx66: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[09:10] <maan84> n2diy: doesnt seem to work=) The text is so small in this wine gameinstall=P
[09:10] <roxlu> n2diy: I escaped it like: pas\@word
[09:10] <Robert98374> Ok i am really confused on how to change the Conky config
[09:10] <drewski02> no matter what I do i cant get it to download/accept file transfers
[09:10] <orbin> drewski02: might be better off asking in #xchat i
[09:10] <dawn_chorus> Robert98374, the way I do it is, find one that I like (that has stuff I want) and then delete what I don't want.
[09:10] <drewski02> thanks, ill give it a try
[09:10] <thinkingman> n2diy: did you try pass\@\word?
[09:10] <orbin> drewski02: ignore that i at the end
[09:11] <n2diy> roxlu: try pas\@\word?
[09:11] <Robert98374> dawn_chorus no i mean i cant figure out where to put the information
[09:11] <roxlu> nope
[09:11] <bucat> i have this issue: i have modified this file /etc/default/bootlogd and i have selected Yes to have the boot log in the file /var/log/boot but this file is still empy
[09:11] <kadaz> How can I connect to another computer using vnc via linux
[09:11] <dawn_chorus> Robert98374, you have to create the file yourself.  press alt-f2 and enter: gedit ~/.conkyrc
[09:11] <n2diy> maan84: ah, I didn't realize wine was involved, sorry.
[09:11] <VoX> kadaz: vncviewer
[09:12] <clearzen> kadaz: xvncviewer will work if there is a vnc server running on the remote machine
[09:12] <kadaz> ok
[09:12] <tuxican> does anyone have dvd burner problems?
[09:12] <n2diy> thinkingman: no I didn't, hopefully roxlu will though, I don't have a dog in this fight. :)
[09:13] <GC1292912> Guys how come I can only install ubuntu in safe graphics mode and then when I start w/o cd it goes to a black screen and doesnt load anything, not unless I boot up in a recovery mode, and then manually start gdm, however I wont have internet there or anything to update the drivers any can help?
[09:13] <thinkingman> shit
[09:13] <thinkingman> whoops
[09:13] <tonyyarusso> !ohmy | thinkingman
[09:13] <ubotu> thinkingman: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[09:13] <thinkingman> I know, no swearing, I'm tired, sorry
[09:13] <tonyyarusso> :)
[09:13] <Catoptromancy> !packages list
[09:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about packages list - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:13] <dawn_chorus> Robert98374, or you can use the sample by alt-f2 and enter : zcat /usr/share/doc/conky/examples/conkyrc.sample.gz > ~/.conkyrc
[09:13] <Robert98374> dawn_chorus thanks :-)
[09:13] <maan84> n2diy: np^^ its world of warcraft install, have 2 choices at the end but the font is so small, guess ill just have take a chance :P
[09:13] <dawn_chorus> Robert98374, right on.
[09:14] <Robert98374> dawn_chorus the way to do it on that thread was really confusing
[09:14] <n2diy> maan84: GL, I'm no a gamer.
[09:14] <linux_user400354> is there a channel for 64 bit linux and ubuntu users?
[09:14] <n2diy> no/not
[09:14] <dawn_chorus> Robert98374, the ubuntuforums thread?
[09:14] <Robert98374> yes
[09:14] <Robert98374> they tried to explain how to do it
[09:15] <Robert98374> but i got lost fairly quick
[09:15] <dawn_chorus> Robert98374, those are sample ~/.conkyrc files.  that's all.  if you like one, copy and paste theirs into yours.
[09:15] <Flannel> linux_user400354: this is it
[09:15] <linux_user400354> hello, im using 64 bit linux. ive been running some 32 bit programs in it. one 32 program will not run. ldd shows that it is trying to use a 64 bit lib. how can i get it to use the 32 bit one instead?
[09:16] <kadaz> I typed xvncviewer in the console and alil dialog popped up for an input of an ip, but thats it, now what?
[09:17] <Robert98374> dawn_chorus does it automaticly set it as the default?
[09:18] <dawn_chorus> Robert98374, yes.  it'll always look to ~/.conkyrc.  if you edit it, you'll have to restart conky.
[09:18] <levander> Does anyone else have identd enabled in /etc/inetd.conf?  I don't remember enabling that at all.  I thought Ubuntu was supposed to ship with no ports open by default.
[09:18] <Robert98374> dawn_chorus ok thanks :-)
[09:18] <dawn_chorus> no problem
[09:19] <n2diy> levander: if all your ports where closed, how could you be here, surf the net, get email, etc...?
[09:19] <GC1292912> guys do you need to set anything specific if you have 24" lcd in xorg.conf?
[09:19] <kadaz> can I see their desktop this way?
[09:19] <GC1292912> I cant boot normally
[09:19] <GC1292912> only through recovery mode
[09:20] <levander> n2diy: all listening ports by default, when you connect to a server, you open a port yourself
[09:20] <n2diy> levander: well, aren't listening ports open?
[09:21] <levander> n2diy: yeah, and by default, i thought Ubuntu was shipping with all listening ports closed - e.g., nothing set up to automatically open a program listening on a port
[09:21] <bucat> i have this inlo
[09:21] <n2diy> levander: sorry, misread your reply
[09:22] <bucat> i have this log/boot (Nothing has been logged yet.) but i have modified etc/default/bootlogd
[09:22] <darwin81> When seeding a torrent, are there any downsides to setting my upload speed to unlimited when I'm only seeding?
[09:22] <bucat> ?
[09:22] <n2diy> levander: what makes you think you have open ports listening? Have you tested your box's security?
[09:23] <orbin> !offtopic > darwin81
[09:23] <Phylo> how do I format a partition using my Ubuntu CD?
[09:23] <LepperMessiah> Having your ubuntu on your primary master will make it faster right?
[09:23] <levander> n2diy: because I know this other IRC server is claiming to have gotten a response from my identd server, and that service is enabled in /etc/inetd.conf when I checked
[09:23] <levander> Phylo: it will prompt you to do that during the install process
[09:24] <Phylo> it's crashing during the install process so I want to run just a format
[09:24] <Phylo> of 1 partition
[09:24] <Phylo> (crahes on Checking for Filesystems)
[09:25] <sx66> Intel Graphics driver (i810) won't use high screen resolutions, I have used the following commands for editing the sudo apt-get install 915resolution. It had worked only on one boot, however, it did not work on the 2nd boot. I have configured the gksudo gedit /etc/default/915resolution also...it does not work on second boot
[09:25] <levander> Phylo: i think parted will format a partition for you, if not look into the command mkfs
[09:25] <Phylo> what is parted
[09:25] <Phylo> a program?
[09:25] <levander> Phylo: partition editor
[09:25] <levander> I know it will make and delete partitions, dunno if it will format filesystems
[09:25] <Phylo> where can I find it?  (on the live cd?)
[09:25] <tuxican> dvd burning problems anyone?
[09:25] <levander> but, if it does, it will be easier than mkfs
[09:26] <levander> Phylo: surely it's on the livecd
[09:26] <n2diy> levander: the other service claims it is getting replies? Maybe the are being spoofed? Go to www.grc.com, ran Sheildsup, and do your own port scan?
[09:26] <Phylo> (*install cd*)
[09:26] <levander> n2diy: i'm not being spoofed because the remote server is getting the username I am using here on this box
[09:26] <levander> n2diy: it's getting info from my box, so I know it's me
[09:27] <Lilacor> 
[09:27] <Wesley> hi

[09:27] <kadaz> HI
[09:27] <kadaz> A music messaging session has been requested. Please click the MM icon to accept.
[09:28] <novato_br> my networking is working
[09:28] <kadaz> good news
[09:28] <Phylo> I found "GNOME Parition Editor", I'm trying that , thank you... bye :-)
[09:28] <n2diy> levander: ok, are you familiar with Firestarter? It's a gui front end for iptables.
[09:28] <novato_br> but my sound is not working, since I've been update my codecs
[09:28] <novato_br> why ?
[09:28] <LepperMessiah> Is secondary slave faster than primary mastaer?
[09:28] <LepperMessiah> *master
[09:28] <Wesley> im experiencing heavy problems with the radeon driver under edgy, and i heard about DRI and what it does and now i would like to know: can someone tell me if this DRI would really help me with my performence problems in games and how i should install it?
[09:29] <novato_br> what's going on?
[09:29] <novato_br> plz
[09:29] <sx66> My Intel Graphics driver (i810) won't use high screen resolutions, I have used the following commands for editing the sudo apt-get install 915resolution. It had worked only on one boot, however, it did not work on the 2nd boot. I have configured the gksudo gedit /etc/default/915resolution also...it does not work on second boot
[09:29] <novato_br> what is going on with my sound card?
[09:29] <name_goes_here> lets say I'm sick of trying to configure RAID for one night and I go ahead and install ubuntu to my primary hard drive..  is there a way to come back later and make my secondary hard drive an extended home partition later?
[09:30] <n2diy> novato_br: just a guess, but maybe the file that loads your modules/drivers has changed? I forget the name of the file, sorry.
[09:30] <kadaz> leppermessiah depending on what your hard drive speed is at, one could be faster than another.
[09:30] <novato_br> n2diy,  what can I do?
[09:31] <novato_br> what do I do to fix this ?
[09:31] <novato_br> can I fix it ?
[09:31] <kadaz> novato_br unmute it
[09:31] <novato_br> no no, kadaz
[09:31] <n2diy> novato_br: wait, I'm checking out something.
[09:31] <novato_br> my sound is not mute
[09:31] <novato_br> thx, n2diy
[09:32] <novato_br> when I'll play one mp3, my system halt
[09:32] <novato_br> so, i have use xkill to close my player mp3
[09:33] <name_goes_here> !ohmy name_goes_here
[09:33] <kadaz> novato_br  someone came in here today and did that. novato have you tried another player?
[09:33] <tripppy> anyone using pidgin to chat irc channels?
[09:33] <Wesley> or, another problem: i use the "radeon" driver as in several wiki's explained with my Radeon 9250 and i got an really bad performence in 3D games, is there a way to solve this?(using Ubuntu Edgy)
[09:33] <novato_br> this was working before to update my codecs system
[09:33] <n2diy> novato_br: you need to learn about the insmod command, then learn what your sound cand is etc...
[09:33] <novato_br> thx, n2diy
[09:34] <novato_br> kadaz i've been try new players
[09:34] <novato_br> and all locked

[09:44] <dawn_chorus> n2diy, just a sec...

[09:45] <BUMROSS> i guess i have to restart or somthing to run xawtv, because it doesnt do anything when i try and open it.. ill brb, i giess
[09:45] <Gnea> dawn_chorus: i see it there... i believe it
[09:45] <dawn_chorus> n2diy, i'm sure that'll put it around a gram.
[09:46] <n2diy> dawn_chorus: A GRAM!
[09:46] <Gnea> novato_br: if disrespect is your friend, then that's what you'll attract.
[09:46] <novato_br> what?
[09:46] <novato_br> i didn't understand you
[09:46] <dawn_chorus> n2diy, about ...
[09:47] <thedeviantone> Has anyone been able to get flashplayer firefox plugin to work under 7.04 AMD64 edition?
[09:47] <BUMROSS> ok, that didnt work, xawtv doesnt even open
[09:47] <n2diy> dawn_chorus: your mixing up your variables, there are 27 grams in an ounce.
[09:47] <bastid_raZor> i've heard several people say that they've had issues with 64bit and java/flash
[09:47] <dawn_chorus> n2diy, yeah.  you know.  :)
[09:48] <bastid_raZor> i've also not heard of a solution
[09:48] <thoreauputic> bastid_raZor: one solution is to set up a 32 bit chroot
[09:48] <kbrosnan> bastid_raZor: http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/linux-amd64.html
[09:48] <Gnea> !flash64
[09:48] <ubotu> You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava
[09:49] <bastid_raZor> i stand corrected
[09:49] <dawn_chorus> i'd go with the chroot.
[09:49] <n2diy> dawn_chorus: yes, I do, that's why I knew what was happening. :)
[09:49] <dawn_chorus> n2diy, i hear ya.

[09:52] <aubade> Gnea: What guy?
[09:52] <aldin> can someone tell me difference between irc.freenode.net and irc.ubuntu.com?
[09:52] <aubade> Oh, nm.
[09:53] <BUMROSS> any other ideas for my webcam?
[09:53] <Gnea> heh.
[09:53] <MasseR> aldin: Different servers?
[09:53] <aldin> MasseR: is it same, i measn will i have same channels?
[09:53] <kiwiturnAUS> kimmey: Peer Guardian is an application designed to filter out specific IP addresses for P2P users
[09:53] <thoreauputic> irc.ubuntu.com is an alias for chat.freenode.net
[09:53] <sx66> How do you play DVDs in VLC media player?
[09:53] <wolfeon> irc.ubuntu.com points to the freenode servers
[09:53] <thoreauputic> in other words, no difference
[09:53] <Gnea> sx66: file->open cd
[09:54] <wolfeon> and the nagios server :)
[09:54] <Gnea> wolfeon: what menus?
[09:54] <wolfeon> Gnea: in the middle of the video it shows ubuntu with beryl
[09:54] <wolfeon> Gnea: it looks like a fancy mac like menu bar with floating icons.
[09:54] <Gnea> wolfeon: ok, so after the vista bit?
[09:54] <premier_> has anyone here heard of using "profile" as a boot option?  is it safe?
[09:54] <wolfeon> *shrug* yeah
[09:54] <aubade> I'm still not seeing what menu you're talking about.
[09:54] <Wesley|> even if i risk to get kicked if i ask this over-and-over again: is someone so nice and help me with installing the fglrx 8.28.8 driver unter Edgy WITHOUT Envy?
[09:55] <Gnea> well he started it off with vista opening apps then aero
[09:55] <wolfeon> Gnea: yeah..
[09:55] <premier_> Wesley|: have you followed the tutorial on the ubuntu web page?
[09:55] <premier_> !fglrx
[09:55] <thoreauputic> Wesley|: you've read the Binary Drivers howto?
[09:55] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:55] <Gnea> then he flips it to beryl... i'm not sure what that thing is called at the top
[09:55] <wolfeon> I kinda ignored most of it, heh.. aero looks cheesy :)
[09:55] <aubade> Were you asking about the dock?
[09:55] <thoreauputic> !ati | Wesley|
[09:55] <ubotu> Wesley|: please see above
[09:55] <Gnea> but i've seen that video a billion times
[09:55] <wolfeon> aubade: yeah
[09:55] <dimon08> !help
[09:55] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[09:55] <wolfeon> what the heck is it?
[09:55] <assasukasse> hi everyone
[09:56] <Wesley|> yea i did but that tutorial doenst explains the 8.28.8 driver or atleast the installation of it
[09:56] <Wesley|> i mean, if it does plaese slap me^^
[09:56] <zacs7> Hey all, i've got a few probs
[09:56] <assasukasse> i have a huge problem, maybe someone can give some hints
[09:56] <assasukasse> after the kernel upgrade ekiga, gnome-schedule and other progs don't start anymore
[09:56] <premier_> Wesley|: is that driver newer or older than the ones in the repos?
[09:56] <kiwiturnAUS> I knw windoes sucks but how do i run xp as a virtual machine ?
[09:56] <aubade> Might be kiba-dock.
[09:56] <Wesley|> older
[09:56] <Gnea> wolfeon: i'm not sure... i'd like to know too
[09:56] <sx66> gena, file >open Disk opens a menu that I click okay, and still does not play. It is minimized.
[09:56] <Wesley|> 8.28.8 is the newset that still supports my radeon 9259
[09:56] <Wesley|> 9250*
[09:56] <wolfeon> *checks kiba dock*
[09:57] <premier_> does anyone know how to specify which version of a package to install with apt-get?
[09:57] <premier_> pinning, is it called?
[09:57] <wolfeon> its kiba dock
[09:57] <Gnea> hrm
[09:57] <Gnea> yeah
[09:57] <cweagans> what is the name of the program that allows LInux users to view compiled help archives (.chm) ?
[09:57] <thoreauputic> Wesley|: some ati cards are well supported by the Free driver - I have a 9200 running Beryl on my iBook
[09:57] <zacs7> I had to reinstall Windows, because I got a new CPU, MB, GFX card. Now windows has swipped the MBR, I can't boot into ubuntu, So I went to go and fix grub using the live CD. However: It doesn't work, the X-server fails to find my monitor. I have a 8600GT any suggestions?
[09:58] <Wesley|> i am running the radeon driver currently and i got really bad performence
[09:58] <Wesley|> its about 2 fps ingame
[09:58] <dimon08> assasukasse, try to start it from terminal and check the output
[09:58] <wolfeon> well damn
[09:58] <wolfeon> they should have put kiba dock in ubuntu
[09:58] <Gnea> wolfeon: i love the bit at the end - classic BSOD event
[09:58] <assasukasse> dimon08: already done, no output, just hang
[09:58] <kimmey> zacs7: tried to reconfigure xorg? :)
[09:58] <premier_> Wesley|: well, that means your not getting direct rendering
[09:58] <wolfeon> Gnea: hehehe, never could stop laughing ;)
[09:58] <cwraig> hi all i am having trouble accessing my mysql database from other computers on my local network, i have granted all permissions and when i try mysql -u root -h 192.168.1.67 it says connection refused
[09:58] <Gnea> wolfeon: this one is pretty tight too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYsxaMyFV2Y
[09:58] <Wesley|> premier: and how am i able to enable that?
[09:58] <zacs7> kimmey, how would I do that?
[09:58] <thoreauputic> Wesley|: ah, I get 650 fps in glxgears with the radeon driver, and quite good game performance
[09:58] <kimmey> I think "X -configure" would do something
[09:59] <Bogaurd> is there a simple way to rip a CD to an ISO in ubuntu?
[09:59] <kimmey> if its not xorg -configure
[09:59] <wolfeon> 60 computers
[09:59] <cweagans> cwraig: make sure that you disable the mysql address binding
[09:59] <dimon08> zacs7, AFAIK 8600 isn't supported by linux drivers
[09:59] <assasukasse> dimon08: i also deleted .gconf and tried from scratch, with no luck at all...truly talking i am pretty disappointed that after a kernel update many stuffs stopped working.
[09:59] <wolfeon> with an exchange server + TS for the 2 windows only apps
[09:59] <Wesley|> thoreauputic: you, not i^^
[09:59] <Gnea> wolfeon: these videos are still pretty amateur though... in about a month there's going to be some new videos
[09:59] <zacs7> I know, I found that on the net :(
[09:59] <zacs7> What shall I do?
[09:59] <kimmey> some kinda autoconf, then try with that and se how it works
[09:59] <thoreauputic> Wesley|: right - what dows  glxinfo| grep direct say ?
[09:59] <wolfeon> aww
[09:59] <kimmey> log in as root then write "X -configure"
[09:59] <Wesley|> give me an second, i throw it into an pastebin
[09:59] <dimon08> assasukasse, yeah, my nvidia drivers failed too after upgrade:( what if you boot with previous version of the kernel?
[10:00] <kiwiturnAUS> Bogaurd: i think k3b might do that check
[10:00] <wolfeon> they knew about kiba doc back in september and didn't include it? :(
[10:00] <cwraig> cweagans how do i do that
[10:00] <bastid_raZor> Bogaurd: i use K3b for all my iso/ripping needs
[10:00] <Stilling> how do i install DC++
[10:00] <cweagans> cwraig: one sec
[10:00] <Gnea> wolfeon: kiba isn't even in debian sid
[10:00] <Bogaurd> ok, thanks guys. let me give it a shot.
[10:00] <gudi> hi
[10:00] <zacs7> I can fix my install via the live CD?
[10:00] <aubade> Be a pain to install all of those KDE deps just for ISO mastering.
[10:00] <thoreauputic> kimmey:  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:00] <assasukasse> i didn't try because i am far from home, and i am seeing stuff in vnc...however i think is more a gconf than a driver prob
[10:00] <Wesley|> glxinfo| grep says... nothing xD
[10:00] <kimmey> ye.. just found it.. thoreauputic :P
[10:00] <hylje> what features gutsy is intended to have? link?
[10:01] <Gnea> wolfeon: ok here we go.... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=268645
[10:01] <Stilling> can someone help me?
[10:01] <premier_> when will the open source drivers get up to X1400 mobility?
[10:01] <assasukasse> dimon08: i dunno also why should a kernel stop an apps
[10:01] <aubade> Brasero should be able to create disc images.
[10:01] <zacs7> I'm pretty new at Linux, I can repair it with the Live CD yes?
[10:01] <dimon08> zacs7. i think you have to use vesa or nv until drivers will be updated..
[10:01] <gudi> i'm using event.d/script to start daemontools on ubuntu. The problem is that i need to manually start it via "start svscan" after a reboot. What can be the problem that it not get startet on reboot ?

[10:09] <brylie> open up a terminal kiwiturnAUS
[10:09] <ragle> is this where i would ask questions about installing Beryl?

[10:12] <gc1981> guys when I was installing ubuntu the only way to do it was in safe graphics mode, now when I try boot I alwahys just get to the black screen, I reconfigured xorg.conf put proper horiz and vsync rates (through dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg)  and still it doesnt work,    I can though boot up in recovery mode, and manually load gdm and it works fine on 1920x1200    please advise (sysinfo: geforce 8800 and 24" widescreen samsung lcd)
[10:12] <kiwiturnAUS> does it matter where i add a line ?
[10:12] <brylie> kiwiturnAUS, you should have Ubuntu installed if you intend to modify sources.list
[10:12] <xjkx>  CD AUDIO PLAYER i install for gtk?
[10:13] <kiwiturnAUS> yeah i do
[10:13] <brylie> not be booted from the liveCD
[10:13] <mootmoot> I can't believe i used to actually LIKE kde
[10:13] <mootmoot> ugh
[10:13] <brylie> just put it at  the end
[10:13] <kiwiturnAUS> ok
[10:13] <tri3axe> is there a application that could help me control startup programs and such.. so i easily could add/remove stuff to start on boot?
[10:13] <minerale> I have a mac on my machine and a remote (ubuntu) system on the internet (but very few hops), I would like to mount one ubuntu partition locally, what solution will work the best? (fastest, lower overhead) mount_ftp ? smbfs ? sshfs ? nfs ? -- anything else
[10:13] <xjkx> mootmoot: KDE HAS KSCD, UBUNTU HAS WHAT
[10:13] <xjkx> sry caps
[10:14] <kiwiturnAUS> do i have to save or just exit?
[10:14] <brylie> put a line like '#my edit name'  above it so you can keep track kiwiturnAUS
[10:14] <dimebar> xjkx: rhythmbox? banshee? quodlibet?
[10:14] <brylie> kiwiturnAUS, exit.. it will ask you ti save.. say yes
[10:14] <mootmoot> xjkx: I was just speaking off topic.. you need a good gnome-based cd player?
[10:14] <kiwiturnAUS> k thnx
[10:15] <Madpilot> xjkx, soundjuicer is the default CD player
[10:15] <Madpilot> it's a CD ripper, too
[10:15] <mootmoot> xjkx: personally I use exaile, but only for mp3s, not CDs.. though i assume they would work as well
[10:15] <dapper> where can i ask email setups in dapper
[10:15] <mootmoot> has anyone else noticed how SLOW gaim's file transfer is?
[10:16] <dimebar> mootmoot: on which protocol?
[10:16] <mootmoot> occasionally people try to send me things and then.. well it takes to long and i cancel
[10:16] <mootmoot> baha
[10:16] <dapper> pop
[10:16] <mootmoot> dimebar: msn
[10:16] <sutabi> I having a problem I enabled the wobble/cube effect on my desktop then I took off the wobble and now my toolbars on gnome are gone!
[10:16] <dimebar> mootmoot: its cos on the official client it sends it directly whereas with gaim/pidgin it goes through MSN's server
[10:16] <mootmoot> dimebar: microsoft really got to us canadian's it seems. it's all msn all the time up here =/
[10:17] <dapper> can i use my webmail as my pop server?
[10:17] <anathematic> ubuntu desktop comes with lexmark printer drivers right?
[10:17] <mootmoot> dimehar: was thinking about getting pidgin going but that won't solve the issue (which isn't a big one anyways). Maybe kopete sends files directly?
[10:17] <anathematic> ubuntu desktop comes with lexmark printer drivers right?
[10:18] <Madpilot> anathematic, depends on which model Lexmark - Lexmark is known for lousy Linux support
[10:18] <Catoptromancy> where would I go about changing the CD mount?
[10:18] <dimebar> mootmoot: I'm not sure.  I tend to send files on gmail now
[10:18] <Madpilot> !printers | anathematic
[10:18] <ubotu> anathematic: 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
[10:18] <anathematic> ahh ty Madpilot i was about to ask for some links ;)
[10:18] <Madpilot> anathematic, start at the linuxprinting.org link
[10:19] <mootmoot> dimehar: true enough. I find i'm on msn less and less these days anyways and there are other ways to get the files.

[10:30] <MasseR> There's somewhere a part where you can define resolutions and depths
[10:30] <thedonvaughn> Genomsaren, i'd use apt-get :)  libgda2-bin libgda2-common libgda2-dev

[10:42] <aspro_> hello all, how can one backup a gpg key?
[10:42] <tiago> hey guys, i need some help copying a file from my desktop to the grub folder
[10:42] <aspro_> I'm new to the concept so assume nothing :)
[10:43] <MasseR> tiago: sudo cp file /boot/grup/
[10:43] <tiago> this is the command i tryed but didnt work
[10:43] <tiago>  sudo cp /home/tiago/desktop/splash.xpm /boot/grub/splash.xpm
[10:43] <MasseR> tiago: sudo cp file /boot/grub/
[10:43] <anathematic> what's the chmod setting to enable all permissions for everybody?
[10:43] <MasseR> tiago: What does it give as an error
[10:43] <Genomsaren> can I run .NET Applications on linux WITHOUT mono? (any other software is acceptable)
[10:43] <tiago> cp: cannot stat `/home/tiago/desktop/splash.xpm': No such file or directory
[10:43] <tiago> tiago@tiago-desktop:~$
[10:43] <MasseR> anathematic: chmod 777 file
[10:43] <anathematic> MasseR thank you
[10:43] <MasseR> tiago: Check your filename
[10:43] <Madpilot> aspro_, your private key is stored in ~/.gnupg - copy that directory
[10:44] <MasseR> tiago: Remember that it's case-sensitive
[10:44] <aspro_> tiago: try Desktop, rather than desktop
[10:44] <Genomsaren> tiago: for example dektop should be Dektop
[10:44] <aspro_> Madpilot: cheers
[10:44] <tiago> thanks that worked :)
[10:45] <Madpilot> aspro_, just be careful, that's got your entire private keyset...
[10:45] <Tinned_Tuna> j #ubuntu-server
[10:46] <aspro_> Madpilot: by careful you mean security wise?
[10:46] <melchior7> how many ubuntu channels are there on freenode?
[10:46] <Madpilot> aspro_, yes - don't leave your backup CDs lying around if they've got a copy of .gnupg on them
[10:46] <Madpilot> melchior7, lots
[10:46] <tonsofpcs> .gnupg?
[10:46] <aspro_> Madpilot: don't worry, I'll take good care of it :)

[10:47] <loco_aullador> hi i've bought a sataII hdd and unfortunately it suffered a hit, i use e2fsck -c /dev/sda1 to check for errors and at the end of it a get an error message: error reading block 20392000 (Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read) does it means that the hdd is damage?
[10:47] <lunixman> hello
[10:48] <lunixman> ubuntu is making my speakers and headphones emit a high pitch tone
[10:48] <lunixman> i tried it on xp and everything was fine
[10:48] <lunixman> so its not a hardware problem
[10:48] <Phylo> !!! I can't install Ubuntu anymore, it freezes on "detecting file systems".  I've even deleted the old (messed up) Ubuntu partition and created a new one
[10:50] <Slowmove> anyone that wants to help me with some network-issues???
[10:51] <gudi> Slowmove, whats the problem ?
[10:52] <g1981c> guys I have an integrated SAS/SCSI adaptec controller in my mobo and I want to use my scsi hdd as a system drive, anyone can help to tell me what to do (right now its disabled in bios otherwise it wouldnt install ubuntu)
[10:52] <lunixman> when i play a music or video file ubuntu emits a high pitched sound
[10:52] <lunixman> how can i fix this
[10:52] <Slowmove> gudi, lsusb find my wlan-usb-stick, but not the network-program
[10:52] <anathematic> how do i rename a folder via console? =)
[10:52] <gudi> anathematic, mv oldfolder newfolder
[10:53] <thedonvaughn> anathematic, you can use mv to move a directory.. which would re-name a directory
[10:53] <tim__b> Slowmove you get something like "copy firmware files to..." during boot up?
[10:53] <anathematic> :) thanks
[10:54] <tim__b> lunixman, which player do you use?
[10:54] <Slowmove> tim__b, no
[10:54] <lunixman> tim_b firefox and opera
[10:54] <tim__b> Slowmove, which adapter do you got?
[10:54] <lunixman> its weird, i just loaded ubuntu unto a p4 2 gig 1 gig ram system
[10:54] <lunixman> but win xp is faster than ubuntu
[10:54] <tim__b> lunixman, using mplayer or totem plugin?
[10:54] <lunixman> so far ubuntu's been pretty buggy and disappointing
[10:54] <lunixman> totem
[10:55] <Slowmove> tim__b, topcom skyracer usb 54mbit v2....with a zydas chipset
[10:55] <tim__b> try deinstallation of mozilla-totem and installation of mozilla-mplayer
[10:55] <tim__b> Slowmove, sec
[10:55] <spikeb> mozilla mplayer sucks on feisty too
[10:55] <spikeb> heh
[10:56] <tim__b> spikeb, i'm using mozilla mplayer and had no probs yet
[10:56] <anathematic> mmm i've got the folder not letting me rename is saying "device or resource busy"
[10:56] <anathematic> can i just force it somehow?
[10:58] <tim__b> Slowmove, you're wifi adapter seems to be a hard one. it may work using ndiswrapper+windows drivers, maybe you should give this a try
[10:58] <Catoptromancy> theres a ndiswrapper list somewhere
[11:00] <Slowmove> tim__b, but when I lsmod it finds { usbcore             zd1201, uhci_hcd }
[11:00] <tim__b> Slowmove, had the same with my broadcom adapter, but didn't work either
[11:00] <xiaop> hello,everybody
[11:00] <xiaop> I have a question
[11:00] <Slowmove> tim__b, ndiswrapper only choice?
[11:01] <tim__b> sec, reading something for you. it's a german tutorial
[11:02] <xiaop> I can't play rmvb with Mplay ,this is the notice :Real play 4.0 not .....
[11:02] <tim__b> Slowmove, can you do a " sudo lsusb | grep -i zydas " plz and paste the output
[11:02] <anathematic> :< ubuntu won't let me rename drives someone save me

[11:07] <gnomefreak> SubOne: -generic is the kernel you want
[11:07] <zacs7> How do I shutdown X before I boot?
[11:07] <SubOne> gnome pardon?
[11:07] <gnomefreak> SubOne: feisty also uses 2.6.20
[11:07] <SubOne> gnomefreak: ok so how can i get both processors to work?
[11:07] <zacs7> IE: I'm trying to get my 8600GT working but my screen goes black before I can do anything (after ubuntu boots), Ctrl+Alt+F2 doesn't do anything!?
[11:07] <gnomefreak> SubOne: the generic kernel
[11:08] <gnomefreak> SubOne: linux-image-generic
[11:08] <SubOne> gnomefreak: how do i check which one i am using?
[11:08] <anathematic> tim__b well i'm not getting any help =\
[11:08] <anathematic> so i thought maybe people
[11:08] <gnomefreak> SubOne: uname -a
[11:08] <anathematic> weren't reading it
[11:08] <gnomefreak> anathematic: if someone knows they will answer you
[11:08] <tim__b> anathematic, so you like to rename a hdd or mount it to a different place?
[11:09] <anathematic> tim_b i'd like ot rename a harddrive =)
[11:09] <SubOne> its says "Linux subonedt 2.6.20-16-386 #2 [a date]  i686 GNU/Linux"
[11:09] <SubOne> gnomefreak: is that the wrong one?
[11:09] <gnomefreak> SubOne: yes

[11:10] <tim__b> zacs7 sorry
[11:10] <anathematic> tim__b: well i guess it does mean that then, so how do i go about doing that?
[11:10] <sorsis> where could i find more specific information about update process of ubuntu system?
[11:10] <zacs7> I can't see anything, Ctrl+Alt+F2 doesn't work...

[11:10] <lunixman> ubuntu's pretty buggy, i found xubuntu more stable
[11:10] <REGJAVA> How di i get to play you tube Videos on firefox?
[11:11] <sorsis> lunixman: do you know dpkg-reconfigure?
[11:11] <bionoid> zacs7: in the grub boot menu, select one of the entries with "recovery" on the end (iirc), or just edit the bootline and append "single" at the end
[11:11] <gnomefreak> lunixman: log out and click sessions choose xfce
[11:11] <tim__b> anathematic, on auto mount you need to edit /etc/fstab and change the path you want a device to get mounted to
[11:11] <SubOne> ok installing...
[11:11] <lunixman> ok man thanks
[11:11] <lunixman> sorsis: no
[11:11] <SubOne> will the package automatically add an entry to grub?

[11:11] <zacs7> I've done recovery, it also goes black :\
[11:11] <REGJAVA> I am Running 64 Bit UBUNTU and I am unable to play you tube videos in Firefox what should i do to fix this?
[11:11] <gnomefreak> REGJAVA: install gnash

[11:13] <lunixman> Gothfunc, : yes
[11:13] <cbx33> i need an ntp server that doesn't sync externally
[11:13] <gnomefreak> REGJAVA: gnash is for 64 bit
[11:13] <lunixman> Gothfunc, : to me it is
[11:13] <cbx33> just uses it's local time
[11:13] <cbx33> i got the server up and running
[11:13] <Slowmove> tim__b, yes I've answered you a few times
[11:13] <Gothfunc> lunixman: any reason?
[11:13] <gnomefreak> REGJAVA: ther eis no flash for 64. gnash is free version (not sure how well it works)
[11:14] <tim__b> haven't recieved anything in query
[11:14] <cbx33> but when a client tries to connect I get no server suitable for synchronization found
[11:14] <tim__b> @ Slowmove
[11:14] <kazim59>  sudo mount /dev/ttyUSB1 k
[11:14] <Gothfunc> lunixman: what did you have problems with in ubuntu?
[11:14] <kazim59> this command just caused a seg fault and some serious messages from kernel
[11:14] <Slowmove> tim__b, strange

[11:14] <Slowmove> tim__b, no :(

[11:15] <gnomefreak> Gothfunc: yes
[11:16] <helloRobot> Does anyone here have trouble deleting gmail messages using thunderbird?
[11:16] <gnomefreak> helloRobot: no
[11:16] <Gothfunc> are there cons to xubuntu?
[11:16] <helloRobot> gnomefreak: how do you have gmail / thunderbird configured
[11:16] <gnomefreak> Gothfunc: not really
[11:16] <Gothfunc> so there's no reason to be running ubuntu really :P
[11:16] <WeKnowBetter> Nope. Use Ubuntu or Kubuntu. I find gnome a bit faster than kde, though.
[11:16] <gnomefreak> Gothfunc: join #xubuntu someone there can answer your questions :)
[11:16] <helloRobot> gnomefreak: When I remove a message in thunderbird and empty trash, if i login to my gmail it still shows up on gmail server
[11:17] <gnomefreak> helloRobot: depends what setting you want to know about
[11:17] <Gothfunc> WeKnowBetter: was that to me?
[11:17] <anathematic> my ubuntu box isn't detecting the full resolution my monitor can run at, how do i enable this / wher should i look to fix this?
[11:17] <WeKnowBetter> I think so, yeah. ;)
[11:17] <helloRobot> gnomefreak: I want to be able to move messages to trash, empty trash, and have them removed from server.
[11:17] <WeKnowBetter> Ana: Are you using an ATI car?
[11:17] <WeKnowBetter> card

[11:18] <juro> hi, I am trying to upgrade my php version (5.1.2) to a version > 5.2 on my 6.06 server . "apt-get upgrade" doesn'T do the trick. what does?
[11:18] <gnomefreak> helloRobot: you should beable to set it to send it to trash
[11:18] <gnomefreak> Gothfunc: i run them both so yes they work together
[11:18] <helloRobot> gnomefreak: I only have 3 options in gmail. keep in inbox, archive, or delete
[11:18] <gnomefreak> helloRobot: and the issue is?
[11:19] <helloRobot> gnomefreak: i don't want it to delete all messages that are accessed via pop. i just want it to delete the one's i delete using thunderbird.
[11:19] <gnomefreak> helloRobot: cant have both. one or other
[11:19] <helloRobot> gnomefreak: doesn't that seem silly?
[11:19] <SubOne> I used Krfb to VNC into a friend's machine and it was fullscreen. Ever since then, now my login screen is a very low resolution with scrolling on the edges when i reboot my computer, but not after i just log out. Can I fix that?
[11:19] <Gothfunc> WeKnowBetter:  you seem to have reservations about xubuntu?
[11:19] <gnomefreak> helloRobot: it doesnt matter to me TBH

[11:20] <Slowmove> tim__b, how does it going?
[11:20] <WeKnowBetter> Gothfunc - No, not really. I just see ubuntu and kubuntu as more compete solutions. Plus I like the Gnome desktop.
[11:20] <helloRobot> gnomefreak: I mean, wouldn't it make sense that I would like to use my choice mail application but i'f im forced to use gmail, i would have the same messages there?

[11:21] <anathematic> oppps
[11:21] <Gothfunc> thanks gnomefreak, lunixman, WeKnowBetter
[11:21] <zaggynl> thoreauputic, how should I do that
[11:21] <gnomefreak> helloRobot: its unlikely either way but i will see if i can set it up in tbird
[11:21] <thoreauputic> zaggynl: I used tightvnc
[11:22] <helloRobot> gnomefreak: thanks for trying to help
[11:22] <anathematic> what was that command again to change my computer resolution by reloading x11 or whatever again? :(
[11:22] <WeKnowBetter> Gothfunc: No worries. Have an extraordinairy ay.
[11:22] <Gothfunc> lol
[11:22] <WeKnowBetter> Day, even.
[11:22] <thoreauputic> zaggynl: you can set it up in ~/.vnc/xstartup IIRC
[11:22] <WeKnowBetter> Bloody d button not working. I'm sure it would in windows...
[11:22] <zaggynl> thoreauputic, okay
[11:23] <SubOne> gnomefreak: ty, it works now... now how do i remove the old kernels and enable the new one by default?
[11:23] <gnomefreak> SubOne: you always want to keep one extra kernel
[11:23] <thoreauputic> zaggynl: if I remember right, after installing tighvnc server you type " vncserver" and it creates the file - you can then edit it
[11:23] <gnomefreak> SubOne: you can delete them in adept (that is best way to do it)
[11:23] <zaggynl> thoreauputic, tightvnc is not in the repo
[11:23] <SubOne> gnomefreak: right im going to keep the last but i have a few others
[11:24] <thoreauputic> zaggynl: might be xtightvnc
[11:24] <SubOne> gnomefreak: how do i make the new one the default?
[11:24] <Slowmove> tim__b, how do I do the uname-part?
[11:24] <gnomefreak> SubOne: delete the 386 one
[11:24] <gnomefreak> SubOne: use completely remove option in adept
[11:24] <tim__b> zaggynl tightvncserver in universe
[11:24] <zaggynl> tim__b, okay
[11:24] <thoreauputic> zaggynl: tightvncserver
[11:24] <tim__b> Slowmove do a uname -r
[11:25] <SubOne> gnomefreak: but that was the one i wanted to keep it was the latest
[11:25] <Slowmove> tim__b, that just write out the kernel-release
[11:26] <tim__b> Slowmove you need to cd to /lib/modules/your_kernel_version/
[11:26] <gnomefreak> SubOne: than 386 is gonna be default
[11:26] <Slowmove> tim__b, okej, and then?
[11:26] <gnomefreak> SubOne: you might beablet o change it in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:26] <SubOne> gnomefreak: ok ill uninstall it since the new one seems to work anyhow
[11:26] <gnomefreak> !grub | SubOne )you will find what you want in one of these links

[11:28] <Slowmove> tim__b, edit in terminal?
[11:28] <gnomefreak> SubOne: im sure there is a fix for it but offhand i dont have one. make sure its not VNC first. it very well can be VNC causing this

[11:32] <kiwiturnAUS> does anyone use qemu ?
[11:32] <thoreauputic> zaggynl: you have X but no apps = you need to add a window manager etc to your startup
[11:33] <thoreauputic> zaggynl: do you have a ~/.vnc/xstartup file?
[11:33] <zaggynl> nope
[11:33] <juro> hi, I am trying to upgrade my php version (5.1.2) to a version > 5.2 on my 6.06 server . "apt-get upgrade" doesn'T do the trick. what does?

[11:34] <thoreauputic> zaggynl: you probably need one - but I used tightvncserver so it might be different
[11:34] <sohum> hi, how do I set rsync to create files which are new on the client on the host?
[11:34] <zaggynl> ill try tightvncserver then
[11:34] <Gnea> mbdv76: nope, keep it public

[11:34] <mbdv76> thanks
[11:34] <lunixman> do i uninstall ubuntu by using sudo apt-get remove ubuntu desktop?
[11:34] <Gnea> just state the problem :)
[11:34] <Slowmove> tim__b, now I've done that and when I do iwconfig there's first "no wireless extensions" but then wlan0 IEEE 802.11b Nickname zd1201
[11:35] <lunixman> or is it ubuntu-desktop?
[11:35] <thoreauputic> zaggynl: remember - type vncserver, then edit ~/.vnc/xstartup
[11:35] <Slowmove> and lot more
[11:35] <mbdv76> i tried setting up internet sharing in the terminal
[11:35] <mbdv76> and it didnt succeed
[11:35] <mbdv76> and now network and wireless all connected well
[11:35] <tim__b> Slowmove try if wlan is working for you now maybe you need a reboot
[11:35] <zaggynl> thoreauputic, ah that did it :)
[11:35] <mbdv76> but no internet coming thru firefox
[11:35] <thoreauputic> zaggynl: ahah !

[11:36] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[11:36] <tim__b> Slowmove *give
[11:36] <Yogi--> juro just apt-get install php5     and apt-get will see that there is new version and will be update it for you
[11:36] <zaggynl> thoreauputic, still get the empty X thing, tried restarting xinetd
[11:37] <juro> Yogi--- ok thank you!
[11:37] <mbdv76> is there a like system restore thingy on ubuntu?
[11:37] <thoreauputic> zaggynl: you need a window manager in your startup script
[11:37] <zaggynl> thoreauputic, I edited the xstartup file
[11:37] <zaggynl> added gnomesession & to it
[11:37] <mbdv76> thinking of reinstalling ubuntu again
[11:37] <thoreauputic> zaggynl: that's gnome-session
[11:37] <Yogi--> juro after this don't forget to do apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5
[11:37] <Gnea> mbdv76: can you firefox at all?
[11:37] <zaggynl> thoreauputic, err that's what I meant
[11:37] <mbdv76> i can firefox
[11:38] <mbdv76> and no internet access
[11:38] <thoreauputic> zaggynl: I use fluxbox actually
[11:38] <Gnea> mbdv76: that's pretty silly, the whole point of running linux is to *learn* how to use it so you can... use it ;)
[11:38] <thoreauputic> zaggynl: quicker over internet links
[11:38] <Gnea> mbdv76: and yet, you're here on irc. what gives? :P
[11:38] <mbdv76> i tried having internet over network of another computer
[11:38] <mbdv76> and that connection is good
[11:38] <Gnea> ok
[11:38] <Gnea> http://www.debianadmin.com/ubuntu-networking-for-basic-and-advanced-users.html
[11:38] <mbdv76> but no internet coming thru firefox
[11:38] <Gnea> go visit on that system ^^^
[11:38] <mbdv76> kool
[11:39] <juro> Yogi--, it doesn't work. apt tells me, that it is the newest version ..
[11:39] <mbdv76> thanks Gnea
[11:39] <thoreauputic> zaggynl: you are nearly there - keep hacking :)
[11:39] <sohum> anyone, do you know how i can set rsync to create files which are new on the client on the host?
[11:39] <Gnea> np
[11:39] <Yogi--> juro then  system -> administration -> update manager
[11:39] <aricz> Hellu, can anyone help me? I want my system to boot into virtual console (textmode) and NOT into the X window manager. Read somewhere that you could edit /etc/inittab and change the 'init' from 5 to 3.. well, I couldn't find that configfile:) What do I do?
[11:40] <juro> Yogi--, system->administration ..... on a server version ??? ;)
[11:40] <sohum> i.e. new files are on the client -- the machine i'm running rsync on, and i want to create them on the computer i'm accessing via rsync://
[11:40] <Phylo> can someone please help me get Ubuntu installed?  I've been trying for 3 hours, it's just not working
[11:40] <thoreauputic> aricz: that doesn't work in Ubuntu or Debian - disable gdm or kdm
[11:40] <juro> Yogi--, apt-get update ... done that
[11:40] <mbdv76> it was weird Gnea
[11:40] <sohum> that should be : / /
[11:40] <mbdv76> i mucked around
[11:40] <mbdv76> and suddenly internet works
[11:40] <thoreauputic> aricz: or uninstall them
[11:40] <mbdv76> and then for a moment
[11:40] <Yogi--> juro give me a sek
[11:40] <mbdv76> doesnt work
[11:40] <mbdv76> grrr
[11:40] <aricz> hah..
[11:41] <thoreauputic> aricz: runlevel 2 is default for X and non-X
[11:41] <aricz> oh, it's different from other distros?
[11:41] <thoreauputic> aricz: yes, Debian doesn't play the runlevel game in the same way :)
[11:41] <sohum> wait. can anyone read me?
[11:42] <aricz> weirdos:) ok..
[11:42] <thoreauputic> aricz: mind you, neither does Slackware
[11:42] <Phylo> I downloaded Ubuntu 7.04 Fiesty Fawn as an .iso
[11:42] <aricz> oh.. hmmm hehe
[11:42] <Phylo> burnt it to a cd, and put it in my cd rom, I already have WinXP on the computer
[11:42] <thoreauputic> aricz: we are *proud* to be weirdos!
[11:42] <Phylo> what do I do next?
[11:42] <thoreauputic> aricz: ;p
[11:42] <sohum> Phylo: reboot
[11:43] <aricz> hoho, yes, know the feeling
[11:43] <isolatednz> hello all, I'm trying to get audio working correctly with MythTV using Pixelview tuner - the problem is the audio is connected with a cable from audio-out on the capture card to line-in on my sound card, so even when MythTV isn't running you can hear TV audio
[11:43] <tim__b> Slowmove did the firmware do the trick for you?
[11:43] <Phylo> sohum:  done (I booted off the cd)
[11:43] <aricz> but, how do I go about if I want to be able to boot right into virtual console.. and at the same time being able to start X with startx .. :|
[11:43] <Schalken> does anyone know how big the windows vista box is?
[11:43] <zacs7> @ isolatednz, change the audio in the MythTV then?
[11:43] <sohum> Phylo: there should be an install icon on the desktop
[11:43] <sohum> Phylo: (if you want to, of course ;))
[11:43] <Schalken> or any similar box for that matter?
[11:44] <Phylo> sohum:  I'm not so sure anymore...
[11:44] <thoreauputic> aricz: either get rid of the gdm, or disable it in /etc/X11/default-display-manager
[11:44] <Yogi--> juro it's a stuped method but if you remove/uninstall php5.1 and after this install php5.2 ?
[11:44] <Slowmove> tim__b, it finds it in every menu now :D, I just don't have any wireless to connect at the moment, trying to send out with my macbook without succes
[11:44] <Gnea> Schalken: big enough to hold the OS DVD, some documentation and air
[11:44] <Phylo> but I'ts still loading, I'll say when it's to the desktop
[11:44] <isolatednz> Ill just check options
[11:44] <zacs7> I have a prob, I've upgraded my PC, now ubuntu refuses to boot (8600GT issues), So I try and fix it but my network isn't working!?? What Do I do?
[11:44] <sohum> does anyone know how I can rsync new files on the client -- the machine i'm running rsync on, and i want to create them on the computer i'm accessing via rsync: //
[11:45] <tim__b> Slowmove ad-hoc mode doesn't work as i read
[11:45] <thoreauputic> aricz: you can edit that file and put "false" or "goaway" or something else ruder if you wish :)
[11:45] <juro> Yogi--, stays 5.1.2
[11:45] <sohum> Phylo: no, it does take a while to boot off cd
[11:45] <aricz> hehe
[11:45] <Gnea> zacs7: do you have any debugging output from syslog about the errors?
[11:45] <Slowmove> tim__b, what?
[11:45] <Phylo> sohum:  what do you mean no?
[11:45] <sohum> Phylo: it is cd, of course. It's limited by the speed of your cd drive, which is much slower than the desktop
[11:45] <zacs7> @ Gnea, do I have to get new network drivers myself?
[11:46] <Schalken> Gnea: hmm
[11:46] <tim__b> Slowmove: direct connection between to wifi adapters without an access point. ap connection should work
[11:46] <sohum> Phylo: I meant if you weren't sure abotu installing ubuntu based on the speed of startup, that's not rally valid
[11:46] <Gnea> zacs7: only if you enjoy smacking your head against the wall repeatedly
[11:46] <Phylo> right, still don't get what you mean.  ok, that's not it
[11:46] <Schalken> Gnea: this seems to give a nice idea http://www.geekzone.co.nz/imagessubs/blog413dcd5e6aea83d616f4b251bb6086ab.jpg
[11:46] <zacs7> hmm, But I have no clue what I should do!?
[11:46] <Gnea> zacs7: smack harder.
[11:46] <Slowmove> tim__b, okej =/
[11:46] <sohum> Phylo: are you into the desktop yet?
[11:46] <Gnea> Schalken: ah yes, very nice
[11:47] <zacs7> I would love to reinstall, really. But I can't use the graphical installer :(
[11:47] <Phylo> sohum:  ok, at desktop
[11:47] <zacs7> due to no X :(
[11:47] <aricz> thoreauputic : I would still be able to start up X with startx ?
[11:47] <Gnea> zacs7: perhaps ubuntu is not for you.
[11:47] <thoreauputic> aricz: sure
[11:47] <zacs7> but I've used it for 2+ years
[11:47] <power> hi all
[11:47] <Phylo> sohum:  and it just prompted me about restricted drivers being used in order to function properly
[11:47] <sohum> Phylo: play around a bit, see if your internet; screen resolution, etc, are working
[11:47] <power> i have a problem
[11:47] <power> someone can help me?
[11:48] <Gnea> zacs7: if you insist on evading answering someone's probing questions to try and help you, then you won't get any help.
[11:48] <thoreauputic> !ask
[11:48] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[11:48] <power> i want ear acc+ on my xmms
[11:48] <sohum> Phylo: ok, so if you're not too concerned about open issues or just want better hardware support, you can go ahead and enable them
[11:48] <Phylo> sohum:  open issues?
[11:48] <tim__b> Slowmove, would be nice, if you can test the adapter by connecting to an accees point and give me feedback, so i can write an tutorial on that chip/adapter/card
[11:48] <aricz> thoreauputic : lazy question, can I just put '#' in front of the path /usr/sbin/gdm ?
[11:48] <sohum> Phylo: dont bother
[11:49] <thoreauputic> aricz: not sure - probably
[11:49] <sohum> Phylo: you can go ahead and enable them.
[11:49] <zacs7> oh, no I don't have any debug output ;)
[11:49] <Slowmove> tim__b, get it working now...write it...thank you again
[11:49] <Phylo> sohum:  (I've had Ubuntu on this comp before, I know the internet (even wireless :-)) and screen res work
[11:49] <thoreauputic> aricz: I would do that and add "false" on the next line
[11:49] <Gnea> !nvidia | zacs7
[11:49] <ubotu> zacs7: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:49] <sohum> Phylo: cool.
[11:49] <thoreauputic> aricz: either should work I think
[11:49] <zacs7> I know how to install em, just no network :S
[11:49] <Yogi--> juro on forums said 'remove the old version beffor install new', but didn't say about update directly
[11:49] <Gnea> zacs7: of course, it's entirely possible that your network card may have to be disabled
[11:49] <sohum> Phylo: it doesn't hurt to check, but if you're ready, you can go ahead and double click on install.
[11:50] <zacs7> :(
[11:50] <aricz> thoreauputic : okioki, thank you:) will try a reboot now
[11:50] <Phylo> the restricted drives box just popped up
[11:50] <juro> Yogi--, can you send that link, please?
[11:50] <thoreauputic> aricz: have fun :)
[11:50] <mbdv76> i give up about the networking
[11:50] <Gnea> IOW, disable network card, fix video card, then fix the network card. pretty simple stuff.
[11:50] <Yogi--> sek
[11:50] <Phylo> I have ATI accelerated graphics driver and Atheros Hardware Access Layer, the latter enabled
[11:50] <Gnea> mbdv76: why?
[11:50] <mbdv76> if i cang get the network running thru a CAT cable
[11:50] <zacs7> k, Im gona go play around a bit...
[11:50] <sohum> Phylo: ok, so you prob. want to enable the ATI one as well
[11:50] <mbdv76> i check the network
[11:50] <mbdv76> everything is fine
[11:50] <Phylo> sohum:  enabling
[11:51] <Gnea> mbdv76: how is your network setup, physically?
[11:51] <mbdv76> ok
[11:51] <dedi> export WINEPREFIX="/home/dedi/.wine"
[11:51] <ali_> Hi Everyone! I have just installed feisty on my friends laptop, Both wired and wireless establish connection and failed to get an ip

[11:51] <dedi> %systemroot%system32cmd.exe
[11:51] <mbdv76> blue CAT cable crosswired from my ubuntu to another laptop running wireless
[11:51] <mbdv76> so its a straight connection
[11:51] <Phylo> sohum:  failed to enable, it tried to download it ?! I don't even have an OS yet, why we already be online?
[11:51] <mbdv76> and it works in windows
[11:51] <bucat_> http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/6079/dsci0014pt0.jpg ???? please say something about this problem
[11:51] <thoreauputic> aa_: stability - 6.06 latest - 7.04

[11:51] <sohum> Phylo: ah, but you do
[11:52] <Gnea> mbdv76: so the laptop is the internet-connected system?
[11:52] <sohum> if you want, then, you can enable after installing
[11:52] <mbdv76> yeah
[11:52] <Gnea> mbdv76: running what OS?
[11:52] <aa_> thoreauputic: yeah, that is what I am asking, I think 6.06 would be better
[11:52] <Phylo> I would prefer, if it won't affect the installation in any way
[11:52] <mbdv76> windows xp pro
[11:52] <mbdv76> it works before
[11:52] <Gnea> ali_: http://www.debianadmin.com/ubuntu-networking-for-basic-and-advanced-users.html
[11:52] <sohum> Phylo: it shouldn't.
[11:52] <thoreauputic> aa_: up to you really - for a server I would lean towards 6.06 yes
[11:52] <Gnea> mbdv76: did you setup network sharing and a dhcp server on it?
[11:52] <mbdv76> just a few days ago ubuntu decided that there wont be internet coming thru firefox
[11:52] <Phylo> sohum:  ok so now what
[11:52] <mbdv76> the connections the same
[11:53] <sohum> Phylo: ok, now you can double clikc the isntall icon on the desktop
[11:53] <mbdv76> yeah
[11:53] <mbdv76> i enable internet sharing on the laptop
[11:53] <mbdv76> and its a standard internet sharing setup
[11:53] <Yogi--> juro this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=461897&highlight=php+update    sorry for long time answer but i've just closed my browser
[11:53] <mbdv76> with default 192.168.0.1
[11:53] <mbdv76> etc
[11:53] <Gnea> mbdv76: and are they currently running and configured properly? do you have some sort of firewall application on the xp system that may have blocked something?
[11:53] <SmileyLap> Hi guys, how can i stop the network manager changing the DNS?
[11:53] <ali_> I have already given a manual ip but still, ifconfig does not show up an IP address
[11:53] <juro> Yogi--, thank you for your effort!
[11:53] <Samji> SmileyLap: Configure them manually and set a static IP
[11:54] <mbdv76> i havnt change anything since last time it works
[11:54] <aa_> thoreauputic: do you happen to know if server edition comes with all the gnome stuff? if it does, I am going to go with debian
[11:54] <thoreauputic> SmileyLap:  sudo chattr -i /etc/resolv.conf
[11:54] <mbdv76> so shudnt be a problem
[11:54] <SmileyLap> Sam..... apart from doing that
[11:54] <mbdv76> and there is connections between the two computers
[11:54] <thoreauputic> SmileyLap: read the chattr man page to see how
[11:54] <Phylo> sohum:  dialog open, chose English
[11:54] <Gnea> mbdv76: but have you *checked* the firewall on the xp?
[11:54] <mbdv76> but i cant get gaim or firefox to access internet
[11:54] <thoreauputic> SmileyLap: that's all really though
[11:54] <SmileyLap> can't i just set resolv.conf to stop .... ah ok thoreauputic thats a better idea ;)
[11:54] <bucat_> hey guys can someone say this ? please i have ubuntu with some problem it doesn t start and it is stopped as you can see here http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/6079/dsci0014pt0.jpg
[11:54] <mbdv76> ok
[11:54] <mbdv76> i do that
[11:54] <Phylo> sohum:  and LA
[11:54] <Gnea> mbdv76: ok, so that means you can ping the laptop from the ubuntu and ping the ubuntu from the laptop successfully?
[11:54] <sohum> Phylo: ?
[11:55] <Phylo> (next screen chose Los Angelos), next windows chose US English Keyboard Layout
[11:55] <SmileyLap> smiley@DoomTop:~$ sudo chattr -i /etc/resolv.conf  << returns nothing.
[11:55] <thoreauputic> aa_: the server is CLI only - you can add ubuntu-desktop if you wish
[11:55] <sohum> Phylo: yeah, jsut follow the wizard
[11:55] <mbdv76> yep firewall is ok
[11:55] <aa_> thoreauputic: no, just want CLI. Thanks for your help.
[11:55] <sohum> Phylo: it'll pick up your xp install and partition the drive for you
[11:56] <Phylo> sohum:  I've tried four times, it's not working, please (this is where I'll need hlep)
[11:56] <mbdv76> i can even connect my ubuntu to the wireless internet
[11:56] <thoreauputic> aa_: no worries :)
[11:56] <mbdv76> and that connects
[11:56] <Phylo> sohum:  I'm at the prepare disk space screen
[11:56] <sohum> Phylo: alright, what's not working
[11:56] <sohum> Phylo: uhhuh
[11:56] <mbdv76> but no internet wen i use firefox
[11:56] <mbdv76> that means its not the laptop
[11:56] <mbdv76> or firewall
[11:56] <Samji> I'm having problems with Desktop Effects, I've installed the proprietary ATI drivers, but I get Desktop effects cannot be enabled - any ideas? Thanks.
[11:56] <Gnea> mbdv76: check firefox settings, do you have a proxy setup?
[11:56] <mbdv76> cus im doing the process of elimination atm
[11:56] <Gnea> right
[11:56] <mbdv76> hang on
[11:57] <mbdv76> but even gaim cant access internet
[11:57] <Phylo> sohum:  I can choose guided-resize SCSl1 partition #2 (sda) and use freed space (old messed up Ubuntu partition)
[11:57] <mbdv76> and upgrade synaptic cant access internet
[11:57] <Gnea> can you ping yahoo.com?
[11:57] <DgrMouse> how do I find out what is in my mail queue?
[11:57] <mbdv76> but there is internet connection
[11:57] <mbdv76> thats the weird thing
[11:57] <mbdv76> yeah i will ping yahoo
[11:57] <sohum> Phylo: yea
[11:57] <Phylo> sohum:  Guided-use entire disk (I don't want to erase WinXP)
[11:57] <Samji> mbdv76: Sounds like a DNS resolution problem
[11:57] <non|linear> can i edit dual-booted xp registry from uguntu???
[11:57] <non|linear> herh
[11:57] <Phylo> sohum:  and Manual
[11:57] <Gnea> you will or you can?
[11:57] <marmer> hy
[11:57] <mbdv76> i cant ping yahoo.com
[11:57] <mbdv76> says unknown host
[11:58] <sohum> Phylo: the guided resize use freed space
[11:58] <Yogi--> mbdv76 try in address bar on firefox http://64.233.187.99
[11:58] <Gnea> mbdv76: what Samji said
[11:58] <sohum> sohum: not the entire disk
[11:58] <Phylo> sohum:  what %?
[11:58] <mbdv76> yeah
[11:58] <Gnea> mbdv76: can you poing 64.233.187.99
[11:58] <Phylo> sohum:  New Partition Size, ?%
[11:58] <sohum> Phylo: whatever you want
[11:58] <mbdv76> dns resolutions sounds good
[11:58] <Gnea> ping*
[11:58] <mbdv76> k
[11:58] <mbdv76> let me try that
[11:58] <marmer> ih stopped download of a pack where i ccan find it?
[11:58] <thoreauputic> SmileyLap: oops I think that should be sudo chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf
[11:58] <sohum> sohum: you might like to use the entire free space
[11:58] <Gnea> mbdv76: what is the result of: cat /etc/resolv.conf
[11:58] <thoreauputic> SmileyLap: -i removes the immutable mode
[11:58] <Phylo> sohum:  I want to use the whole old Ubuntu partition (the one it's asking about resizing)
[11:59] <DgrMouse> where can i find a list of what is sitting in my mail queue waiting for delivery?
[11:59] <sohum> oh...
[11:59] <anathematic> i've got a few partitions on my computer formatted as the ext3 stuff, i'm not going to have any problems with windows using the data on them am i?
[11:59] <Gnea> DgrMouse: using what MTA?
[11:59] <DgrMouse> Gnea: postfix
[11:59] <sohum> Phylo: does it ask about formatting the ubuntu partition?
[11:59] <Gnea> DgrMouse: showq
[12:00] <DgrMouse> thanks
[12:00] <Samji> mbvd76: If you having problems finding your DNS addresses for your ISP - you could try this: http://www.opendns.com/
[12:00] <Phylo> sohum:  not yet, It says "Guided - resize SCSl1 (0,0,0), partition #2(sda) and use freed space"
[12:00] <Gnea> np
[12:00] <Catoptromancy> anathematic, I dont think windows can even read that
[12:00] <mbdv76> i did the firefox 64.233.187.99 and doesnt work
[12:00] <sohum> Phylo: ok, pick that
[12:00] <Phylo> sohum:  "New partition size:"
[12:00] <Gnea> mbdv76: cat /etc/resolv.conf  <-- what's there?
[12:00] <Phylo> is that gonna be what I get for this install or the new size of the partition it's resizing?
[12:00] <anathematic> Catoptromancy:  any idea what to do then? I've got a heap of data on my ext3 partitions and i'm going back to windows
[12:00] <anathematic> =\
[12:00] <sohum> Phylo: are you sure that this partition is your old ubuntu one?
[12:00] <mbdv76> i did cat /etc/resolv.conf
[12:00] <Catoptromancy> anathematic, not dual booting?
[12:00] <Phylo> sohum:  yes I am
[12:00] <DgrMouse> mbdv76: can you ping ip addresses?
[12:01] <mbdv76> shows nameserver 192.168.0.1
[12:01] <Gnea> mbdv76: how many default gateways do you have set?  ip r  <-- that should list them
[12:01] <Yogi--> LAN IP ?
[12:01] <anathematic> Catoptromancy: no going back to windows completely just too many problems
[12:01] <sohum> Phylo: ok. then this is the new size of the partition its resizing
[12:01] <Catoptromancy> = (
[12:01] <anathematic> just problem after problem after problem =(
[12:01] <mbdv76> i think my network kept referring to the ip 192.168.0.1
[12:01] <Phylo> sohum:  then I want 0% cause I don't want the old partition.  ?
[12:01] <mbdv76> how do i clear that?
[12:01] <sohum> Phylo: i would think so, yes.
[12:01] <anathematic> so i'll just have to move a load of data around and format it as NTFS on ubuntu now before i go back Catoptromancy?
[12:01] <mbdv76> i just want to clear the ip 192.168.0.1
[12:02] <Phylo> sohum:  but 3% is the minimum
[12:02] <Catoptromancy> anathematic, do you have enough free space to move all the files to one partition?
[12:02] <sohum> Phylo: hm
[12:02] <anathematic> Catoptromancy: yeah luckily because i slipped and formatted a 400gig the other day lol
[12:02] <DgrMouse> Gnea: the showq doesn't work
[12:02] <sohum> sohum: you might have to  go back into manual and delete the old ubuntu partition
[12:02] <mbdv76> how do i get rid of ubuntu trying to refer to ip 192.168.0.1???
[12:02] <Gnea> DgrMouse: maybe you don't have anything in the queue
[12:02] <Yogi--> mbdv76 but you have to put in /etc/resolvconf/   some DNS server
[12:02] <anathematic> bah linux was a pain in the ass right to the end it seems
[12:03] <mbdv76> yeah it only shows ip 192.168.0.1
[12:03] <mbdv76> on recosolv.conf
[12:03] <Catoptromancy> anathematic, put all your files on one partiton, and format the empty partiton as FAT32
[12:03] <Gnea> mbdv76: what is the result of this command? ip a s dev `ip r | grep default | awk '{print $5}'` | grep inet\ | awk '{print $2}'
[12:03] <Catoptromancy> anathematic, I would rather suggest using something external, a HD or DVDs
[12:03] <Yogi--> mbdv76 echo "nameserver someIP_here" >> /etc/resolvconf/
[12:03] <mbdv76> thats a crazy command
[12:03] <mbdv76> lol
[12:04] <hylje> /etc/resolv.conf
[12:04] <anathematic> Catoptromancy: =) that's the plan now
[12:04] <Gnea> yeah, but it'll tell you what ip your system is using matched up with the default route
[12:04] <anathematic> although i'd rather ubuntu just not suck for me lol
[12:04] <anathematic> or for me to suck at ubuntu?
[12:04] <Catoptromancy> anathematic, Linux and windows read FAT32 fine, so all your files wil be on the FAT32
[12:04] <DgrMouse> mbdv76: have you looked at /etc/network/interfaces to see if the ip range 192.168.0.0 is still in there?
[12:04] <mbdv76> k
[12:04] <thoreauputic> Yogi--: that would be /etc/resolv.conf , and the rcho won't work without root rights
[12:04] <thoreauputic> *echo
[12:04] <mbdv76> do i do a sudo gedit on /etc/network/interfacese?
[12:04] <Yogi--> ya ya sudo prefix
[12:04] <Phylo> sohum:  ok, I chose manual
[12:05] <Catoptromancy> anathematic, reinstall windows move them to the ntfs and reformat the FAT32 to ntfs, or leave it as FAT32
[12:05] <DgrMouse> Gnea: My firewall is getting pounded by 1500 requests for name resolutions coming from postfix
[12:05] <sohum> find your ubuntu partition
[12:05] <anathematic> Catoptromancy: yeah i'll just do that
[12:05] <sohum> Phylo: if you have only one partition, then that's your xp partition
[12:05] <thoreauputic> Yogi--: no,  won't work either - you need echo "foo" | sudo tee -a /etc/resolv.conf  or similar
[12:06] <thoreauputic> Yogi--: or sudo -i followed by the echo commands
[12:06] <anathematic> farewell #ubuntu, guess i'll come back in a while when i feel like unlimited patience for things like changing my damn harddrive name lol
[12:06] <DgrMouse> mbdv76: yup sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
[12:06] <Catoptromancy> anathematic, works great for a dual boot, I access all my files from Windows or Linux, only apps on on the main partition
[12:06] <Yogi--> mbdv76 try ping 212.39.90.42    is there replay
[12:06] <Gnea> DgrMouse: try qmgr
[12:06] <Phylo> sohum:  I have /dev/sda (no type, mount point, format, or size), /dev/sda1-ntfs-/media/sda1 28821MB, /dev/sda2-ext3-/media/sda2 30655MB, and /dev/sda5-swap-534MB
[12:06] <DgrMouse> ping my server if you want --? 202.189.69.104
[12:06] <Yogi--> thoreauputic my english too bad sorry about this what i mean is sudo echo "nameserver.......
[12:06] <sohum> ok
[12:06] <thoreauputic> Yogi--: I know, and that won't work :)
[12:06] <sohum> select /dev/sda2
[12:07] <Gnea> DgrMouse: icmp is blocked
[12:07] <Yogi--> won't ?
[12:07] <Yogi--> why
[12:07] <sohum> Phylo: select /dev/sda2 and delete ti
[12:07] <Phylo> done
[12:07] <DgrMouse> my icmp? oops... :P
[12:07] <thoreauputic> Yogi--:   echo "nameserver ..." | sudo tee -a /etc/resolv.conf  will work
[12:07] <Gnea> er
[12:07] <Phylo> (free space in it's spot)
[12:07] <sohum> Phylo: do the same for /dev/sda5
[12:07] <Gnea> DgrMouse: negative, it's another network proble i just noticed
[12:07] <sohum> Phylo: jsut to be safe
[12:07] <Phylo> sohum:  deleted
[12:08] <Gnea> DgrMouse: got it, it pings now
[12:08] <thoreauputic> Yogi--: the pipe is owned by root - if you use sudo, the redirect is owned only by the user's shell
[12:08] <Karol84PL_> Hello, is 2,1 GB of free disk space enough to perform dist-upgrade? I have ubuntu with gnome, xfce, and lot of additional applications installed.
[12:08] <sohum> Phylo: now, what buttons are available for you?
[12:08] <DgrMouse> Gnea: My icmp is open for ping...
[12:08] <Phylo> (clicked free space to get the option), New Partition?
[12:08] <Gnea> Karol84PL_: oh what partition?
[12:08] <Gnea> DgrMouse: right, problem was on my end :)
[12:08] <Phylo> it depends on what I click though
[12:08] <sohum> Phylo: let the guided partiioner do that bit
[12:08] <tarzeau> Gnea!

[12:09] <Gnea> tarzeau: cocksucker!
[12:09] <Phylo> sohum:  ok, so I deleted them, now I can select one of the ones left (or free space), cancel, back, and forward
[12:09] <Gnea> oh wait
[12:09] <Karol84PL_> Gnea: 5,4 GB
[12:09] <Gnea> tarzeau: we can't say those things here :)

[12:09] <sohum> sohum: ok, click forward, then

[12:10] <Phylo> kiwiturnAUS:  yes there is, use the Ubuntu install CD to resize the WIndows partition
[12:10] <DgrMouse> Gnea: as soon as i start postfix, it bombs my firewall with requests.... so there is definately mail there :(

[12:10] <Gnea> tarzeau: that's right!
[12:10] <thoreauputic> Yogi--: maybe this has changed from previous versions of Ubuntu - I'm surprised if that worked
[12:11] <Phylo> sohum:  "No root file system"
[12:11] <Phylo> dialog box (clicked ok)
[12:11] <Yogi--> thoreauputic but in fakt nameserver 1.1.1.1 appended in my  /etc/resolv.conf    try it pls
[12:11] <sohum> Phylo: that's ok
[12:11] <Gnea> DgrMouse: did you man showq?
[12:11] <sohum> Phylo: let it do it's formatting over
[12:11] <thoreauputic> Yogi--: OK I believe you - it never used to work like that though :)
[12:11] <Phylo> sohum:  a dialog box popped up and said I have to fix that first
[12:11] <Phylo> it isn't moving on
[12:11] <sohum> Phylo: grrr.
[12:12] <ziroday> hey all
[12:12] <popey_> hi all !
[12:12] <sohum> Phylo: ok
[12:12] <Phylo> sohum:  I want to just go back now, but I don't know if it'll keep the changes to the partitions if I do
[12:12] <popey_> is this a good place to get a little help about xen on ubuntu ?
[12:12] <ycmarvin> is possible to install Java in Ubuntu?
[12:12] <sohum> Phylo: it won't.
[12:12] <thoreauputic> Yogi--: just tried it thus and it didn't work :)
[12:12] <thoreauputic> $ sudo echo "foo" >> /etc/resolv.conf
[12:12] <thoreauputic> bash: /etc/resolv.conf: Permission denied
[12:12] <Gnea> !java | ycmarvin
[12:12] <ubotu> ycmarvin: 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
[12:12] <Phylo> sohum:  darn, ok so what next?
[12:12] <marmer> yarddog,
[12:12] <sohum> sohum: ok, right click, and click create new partition
[12:13] <sohum> Phylo: ok, right click, and click create new partition
[12:13] <marmer> ycmarvin, of course
[12:13] <DgrMouse> Gnea: how do i get out of man?
[12:13] <Phylo> sohum:  um, I'm just curious, why the "sohum: "?  :-)
[12:13] <Yogi--> no way if you want i show you on private
[12:13] <marmer> synaptic
[12:13] <Gnea> DgrMouse: q to quit
[12:13] <sohum> Phylo: that's me being idiotic
[12:13] <mil> dymedia.org
[12:13] <Phylo> sohum:  right-clicked (free space) and selected new partitoin
[12:13] <thoreauputic> Yogi--: sorry, but it did not work as you see above
[12:13] <Yogi--> i'll show*    my english blah :(
[12:13] <ycmarvin> ok thanks I'm reading the site you gave me
[12:14] <sohum> Phylo: leave a bit of room for the swap space
[12:14] <Phylo> sohum:  type, size, location, use as, and mount point
[12:14] <DgrMouse> found them...
[12:14] <Gnea> cool
[12:14] <sohum> Phylo: right. mout point should be '/'
[12:14] <Phylo> sohum:  choose primary with all but about 512MB of space right?
[12:14] <Gnea> see, manpages rock
[12:14] <sohum> Phylo: yep.
[12:14] <ycmarvin> what kind of java does frostwire/limewire needs
[12:15] <DgrMouse> I forgot to stop relaying before the server went live...
[12:15] <Phylo> sohum:  location?  (beginning or end)
[12:15] <sohum> Phylo: eh, beginning shoudld be ok
[12:15] <Phylo> sohum:  use as->ext3   and mount point "/" right?  (and beginning selected)
[12:15] <dedi> export WINEPREFIX="/home/dedi/.wine"
[12:15] <dedi> export WINEPREFIX="/home/dedi/.wine"rtx

[12:16] <lunixman> hello
[12:16] <lunixman> i switched from ubuntu to xubuntu
[12:16] <lunixman> my log-in screen after became xubuntu
[12:16] <lunixman> but my desktop is still ubuntu-based
[12:16] <sohum> Phylo: and now create swap space
[12:16] <lunixman> including the applications etc
[12:16] <lunixman> i even used sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop
[12:16] <Gnea> linux_probe: it's still running gnome?
[12:16] <Phylo> sohum:  looks successful, I have /dev/sda2-ext3-/-30680MB-Unknown(amount used)
[12:16] <lunixman> why is the ubuntu format still present?
[12:17] <Gnea> lunixman: ask the #xubuntu folks
[12:17] <sohum> Phylo: good. now do the same for the remaining space, except use as -> swap
[12:17] <DgrMouse> how do i clear a directory?
[12:17] <Gnea> DgrMouse: of all files or files and subdirs?
[12:17] <gudi> DgrMouse, rm /dir/* ?
[12:17] <Phylo> sohum:  right-clicked remaining free space, new partition, Logical-509MB(rest of space)-beginning-swap-can't choose mount point
[12:17] <Myrtti> lunixman: did you choose to use xubuntu on the login screen?
[12:17] <Phylo> sohum:  create?
[12:17] <sohum> Phylo: yep.
[12:17] <DgrMouse> just the files.. all of them from a relayer
[12:17] <lunixman> Myrtti,: i dont know
[12:17] <Gnea> DgrMouse: rm *
[12:17] <lunixman> i just installed xubuntu and removed ubuntu-desktop
[12:18] <lunixman> i used these 3 commands
[12:18] <Myrtti> lunixman: it's the sessions thing on the login
[12:18] <sohum> Phylo: wait
[12:18] <dchky> What is a relayer DgrMouse ?
[12:18] <sohum> sohum: you might want to extend that to fill the entire free space
[12:18] <Myrtti> lunixman: log out and pick xfce from sessions before logging in
[12:18] <lunixman> ok
[12:18] <JohnLai> finally.....i want to ask how am i suppose to change the modulation standard of my usb ADSL modem to G.DMT . I'm using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsbAdslModem/ueagle-atm to set it up on Feisty
[12:18] <Phylo> sohum:  that was all the free space
[12:18] <lunixman> hope this works
[12:18] <DgrMouse> dchky: someone who used my mail server as a relay point for spamming people
[12:18] <dchky> ah. with you now.
[12:19] <DgrMouse> ls
[12:19] <sohum> Phylo: yeah. this 'free space' you can't use within computing unless it's partitiones
[12:19] <DgrMouse> how can i count how many files are in the dir before i delete them?
[12:19] <sohum> Phylo: it would just be about 2 mb worth, yes?
[12:19] <Phylo> sohum:  (already clicked ok), I have /dev/sda5-swap-no mount point-unchecked/able format-509MB.    It doesn't say free space anymore
[12:20] <JohnLai> err, no one know?
[12:20] <sohum> Phylo: oh ok.
[12:21] <Phylo> sohum:  next?
[12:21] <sohum> sohum: that's fine then. click forward
[12:21] <dchky> DgrMouse, depending on how someone accessed your system, it might not be enough to just delete certain files. It may be as simple as changing passwords, or as drastic as formatting and reinstalling.
[12:21] <wolfeon> /wc/wc
[12:21] <Phylo> sohum:  Migrate documents and settings (forward chosen (I don't want to))
[12:22] <sohum> Phylo: other options?
[12:22] <DgrMouse> dchky: nah... i just locked down the mail so it doesn't relay any more.. i was testing it yesterday with a frind and forgot to stop the relaying again
[12:22] <Phylo> sohum:  no, after clicking forward, the next page was migrate documents and settings
[12:22] <sohum> so it gives you no choice?
[12:22] <dchky> :-)
[12:22] <Phylo> sohum:  it allows me to, but I don't want to, so I moved on
[12:22] <sohum> Phylo: this is from windows, btw
[12:22] <DgrMouse> dchky: my bad....
[12:23] <dchky> I've done that more than once :-)
[12:23] <Phylo> sohum:  right, and that's all that page has
[12:23] <sohum> Phylo: oh, i see now
[12:23] <sohum> sohum: ok
[12:23] <sohum> Phylo: ok, the rest of the wizardshould be straightforward

Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and the correct writing of the repository address in the preferences.
[12:25] <dchky> The easiest fix for that is to delete more selectively or just remove the entire directory itself - eg rm -rf /bad_dir or rm -rf /bad_dir/`ls *wildcard*`
[12:25] <sohum> sohum: it ain't instant
[12:26] <Phylo> sohum:  but this is what I gave it 6 hours to finish last time
[12:26] <Phylo> sohum:  not last time, but like the first of my four tries

[12:26] <DgrMouse> can't remove the directory.... /var/spool/postfix/incoming :)

[12:26] <Phylo> sohum:  the mouse won't move either
[12:27] <Phylo> sohum:  yeah, it's still at 15%
[12:27] <DgrMouse> dchky: I just have to be selective with the delete

[01:14] <Parmenion> frojnd, are you running beryl or compiz ?
[01:14] <Genesis> wols:  any GUI method to do that?  I don't want to kill an important system process X-\
[01:14] <foug> is anyone here good with the gimp?
[01:14] <Parmenion> if so, turn them off and try
[01:14] <dchky> what do you want to do in gimp foug?
[01:15] <dchky> probably you should /join #gimp
[01:15] <foug> well, just figured it out. Was trying to resize and image but to where when i changed the height, the width would change accordingly
[01:15] <foug> figured it though :D
[01:15] <frojnd> Parmenion: KDE (no compiz/beryl)
[01:15] <Zamber> hi peeps ;] 
[01:15] <dchky> :-) kewl.
[01:15] <coach> http://pastebin.ca/536375 <--i have a problem^^
[01:15] <Zamber> I need a app
[01:15] <dchky> You need an application for what?
[01:16] <Parmenion> frojnd, is it from repos or rolled ?
[01:16] <frojnd> Parmenion: repos
[01:16] <zacs7> Hmm, nVida don't offer my nForce drivers for linux, what will I do?
[01:16] <Parmenion> i just checked on my version .... avi files run fine :\
[01:16] <Zamber> a app that can get tags for oggs (from whatever :P) and tag them
[01:16] <frojnd> Parmenion: do u think if I would downloaded deb file I culd repair this?
[01:16] <forever> hi people there
[01:16] <wols> Genesis: you cannot. unless you are root
[01:16] <frojnd> Parmenion: couse I allredy tried to remove it and install again, but settings are the same..
[01:16] <Zamber> preferably by album
[01:17] <Parmenion> you would have to do a complete removal ... oh :\
[01:17] <Parmenion> have you tried with other filetypes?
[01:17] <forever> pls
[01:17] <frojnd> Parmenion: nop
[01:17] <forever> can anybody help me pls?
[01:17] <dchky> Zamber take a look in the sound & video repositories. There are loads of programs available for that kind of thing. (open up Applications -> Add/Remove software)
[01:18] <frojnd> Parmenion: how can I "completely" remove VLC ?
[01:18] <zacs7> Is there anyway I can install ubuntu using the live CD without X?
[01:18] <Zamber> dchky k ;] 
[01:18] <Zamber> didn't thought about it ;p
[01:18] <dchky> There is a separate installer you can use zacs7 - I forget the name off hand though.
[01:18] <spikeb> zacs7: no, but you can install from the alternate cd
[01:18] <zacs7> @ frojnd, use Synaptic
[01:18] <gocciadisangue> Gnea
[01:18] <Genesis> Why is the text-based alternate CD download, also 700MB's?
[01:18] <dchky> It's on the download page at ubuntu.
[01:18] <zacs7> Does it come on the liveCD ? :(
[01:18] <zacs7> :'(
[01:19] <Myrtti> Genesis: why would it be smaller?
[01:19] <frojnd> zacs7: sudo apt-get won't help?
[01:19] <Gnea> gocciadisangue: sudo mv /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1 /tmp && sudo apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx
[01:19] <forever> hi,i need help
[01:19] <dchky> It's 700 megabytes because it has the same software layout as the X based installer.
[01:19] <Myrtti> or rather, why should it be smaller?
[01:19] <Parmenion> frojnd, KDE uses adept right?
[01:19] <frojnd> Parmenion: yes
[01:19] <Genesis> Myrtti:  because it doesn't need so it shouldn't have the GUI
[01:19] <frojnd> Parmenion: I use command line
[01:19] <Myrtti> Genesis: it has the same installation packages as the gui'd one has
[01:19] <zacs7> Okay here is my prob: My NIC, Soundcard and GFX card don't work in linux (since I upgraded them, no drivers...)
[01:20] <forever> when i try to enable desktop effect appears me a white scream
[01:20] <Genesis> but mainly 'cause it was enough of a pain in the rear to download the live cd
[01:20] <Genesis> :-)
[01:20] <forever> and it doesn t work
[01:20] <coach> http://pastebin.ca/536387 <--can anyone help me plz?

[01:25] <dchky> It depends on how much RAM you have Genesis - can be an excellent idea for situations where you can't trust end users.
[01:25] <Parmenion> frojnd, bounce it off crdlb ... not too familiar with adept

[01:26] <crdlb> forever, run this in a terminal: lspci|grep VGA
[01:26] <Gnea> forever: did you look?
[01:26] <gocciadisangue> ok
[01:26] <gocciadisangue> :))
[01:27] <forever> look this plsyes gnea
[01:27] <doseryder> If I were to access a windows network resource I could simply enter something like, smb://my-laptop.  I want to learn how to access network resources in the terminal, does anyone know how?
[01:27] <forever> ok gnea
[01:27] <forever> i run  and i see this
[01:27] <ZeroA4> doseryder, man smbclient

[01:28] <forever> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]  661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter
[01:28] <forever> this is the result gnea
[01:28] <crdlb> And for the last time: There is no DRI/OpenGL (hardware accelerated 3D) support for the SiS 315/65x/74x/330/66x/760/761/340/XGI.
[01:28] <crdlb> from that website
[01:28] <forever> so, what can i do now?
[01:28] <Gnea> forever: i didn't ask you to do that, crdlb did
[01:29] <Milo|SharcNET> Quick question.  I find it pretty having to insert the install CD everytime I want to install/reinstall a base package, are there 'base' repo's I can add to apt to avoid this?
[01:29] <Milo|SharcNET> annoying*
[01:29] <dchky> You could just do it the more complicated way: lspci | awk '{if (substr($2,1,3) == "VGA") print $NS}'

[01:30] <leohartx> hi all

[01:31] <Gnea> !plz
[01:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about plz - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:31] <frojnd> gnea, thanks
[01:31] <leohartx> is anybody here know how to use thunderbird
[01:31] <forever> it s a bit complicated to buy it now
[01:31] <MasseR> leohartx: Ask your question
[01:31] <crdlb> forever, that page seems to say that there are no 3d drivers for you card.
[01:31] <zacs7> Gnea, what logs would I need to help get my NIC working..?
[01:31] <leohartx> ok , i don't know how to config password for my gmail
[01:31] <younes> please i want to share a folder to be access from windows
[01:31] <forever> hhmmm
[01:31] <forever> but whyyyyy
[01:32] <MasseR> leohartx: Uhm what do you mean, it asks you clearly?
[01:32] <forever> ok
[01:32] <dchky> younes, I told you that before System -> Administration -> Shared Folders
[01:32] <leohartx> ofcourse
[01:32] <forever> i wounder if there is no driver absolutly for sis???
[01:32] <Gnea> zacs7: /var/log/dmesg
[01:32] <leohartx> i cant get my mail
[01:32] <Gnea> zacs7: and the output of lspci
[01:32] <younes> the configuration isn't active
[01:33] <dchky> there are modules for sis forever - you probably just need to tweak your xorg.conf file some.
[01:33] <zacs7> okay, thanks :)
[01:33] <younes> i think that it shoud install
[01:33] <Milo|SharcNET> ok, so that repo FAQ didn't really answer my question
[01:33] <younes> samba first
[01:33] <zacs7> How do I get output of lspci ? :\
[01:33] <younes> i dwonload it
[01:33] <MasseR> leohartx: Remember that you have to have ssl-support on and enabled
[01:33] <leohartx> then, how to config ?
[01:33] <dchky> Oh, I thought samba was installed by default, my bad if not sorry.
[01:33] <MasseR> From your account-settings
[01:33] <MasseR> And the server-pages
[01:33] <leohartx> ok, i'll try it
[01:33] <MasseR> I don't have thunderbird with me, but something along the lines
[01:34] <frojnd> Gnea: why are in VLC still the same settings as before --purge ?
[01:34] <Milo|SharcNET> I know I can disable the local repo (install CD), but I would still like to add an online repo to replace it
[01:34] <younes> i download this archive samba-3.0.25a.tar.gz
[01:34] <Gnea> frojnd: it doesn't remove ${HOME}/.vlc
[01:34] <leohartx> oh, what is ssl-support ?
[01:34] <leohartx> and where is it ?
[01:35] <Gnea> younes: you don't need to, that's what apt-get and synaptic are for
[01:35] <dchky> gmail requires encryption leohartx - you'll find the settings under "Edit -> Account Settings"
 how can i tweak my xorg.conf?
[01:35] <frojnd> Gnea: so I have to sudo remove home directory home./vlc ?
[01:35] <leohartx> ok, then ?
[01:35] <dchky> Click on server settings, and make sure "ssl" is checked.
[01:36] <Gnea> frojnd: ${HOME} is a shell variable, the same result as ~/.vlc
[01:36] <ZeroA4> forever, there is they just does not have 3D suport for your card. They work fine in 2D
[01:36] <Gnea> leohartx: hold on a moment....

[01:37] <forever> but i hear it can work with 3d too

[01:37] <gocciadisangue> Gnea
[01:37] <ZeroA4> forever, you hear it from who ?
[01:37] <dchky> Run through that and select the right graphic card from the list.
[01:38] <Milo|SharcNET> Gnea, can you direct me to a URL that helps me add an online repo of the install CD?
[01:38] <gocciadisangue> after i've reinstalled xorg-driver-ati
[01:38] <Gnea> Milo|SharcNET: the URLs were already provided to you.

[01:59] <super-6-1> Ninedeers when its on the live cd well it work?
[01:59] <Gothfunc> no one knows any quick ldap guides?
[01:59] <Ninereeds> yea no prob..
[01:59] <Luxurious> Gnea, it says nothing about setting the environment variable.
[01:59] <super-6-1> hmm
[01:59] <Gnea> Luxurious: tried googling for JAVA_HOME?
[02:00] <super-6-1> where it ur pc located?
[02:00] <Ninereeds> sweden?
[02:00] <Parmenion> Gothfunc, google ubuntu LDAP
[02:00] <Parmenion> might pull some results
[02:00] <Gothfunc> i've googled already
[02:00] <Luxurious> Yes, Gnea.
[02:00] <Ninereeds> lol
[02:00] <Parmenion> ah ...
[02:00] <aa_> I mean what is the point of a long-term supported distro if it can't detect my SATA or my network card etc
[02:00] <Gothfunc> sifting through guide after guide, and none of them work
[02:00] <super-6-1> no like on a desk, bed ect
[02:00] <Parmenion> with different terms and/or operators?
[02:00] <Gnea> Luxurious: why don't i believe you? second link is http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=607850&messageID=3317090
[02:00] <Gothfunc> sure
[02:00] <Gothfunc> tried many searches
[02:00] <Ninereeds> the can is on the floor since it's a full tower..
[02:00] <Gothfunc> guess i just haven't got lucky
[02:01] <super-6-1> Okey ~  do alot of people come by?
[02:01] <Ninereeds> not really..
[02:01] <Luxurious> Gnea, I don't think you read it that much yourself :-)
[02:01] <zacs7> Hello If i've upgraded to a 64bit CPU, would it be worth getting 64bit linux?
[02:01] <Ninereeds> not near the puter anyhoo..
[02:01] <super-6-1> Okey ~  well duid you dump it
[02:01] <Parmenion> zacs7, nope
[02:01] <Luxurious> Gnea, seeing how this is not relevant to Linux.
[02:01] <super-6-1> did
[02:01] <Parmenion> most apps arent in 64bit
[02:01] <Gothfunc> i could just keep sifting and learn everything there is to know about ldap before i get it working, but to be honest, i just want it working
[02:01] <Ninereeds> i put it together by hand from parts n i've hardly moved it..
[02:01] <Gnea> Luxurious: you obviously only read the first few bits instead of the entire thing.
[02:02] <kknd> There is some apps that dont behave correctly in 64 bits
[02:02] <super-6-1> Okey ~  Ninereeds you may want to reinstall it again
[02:02] <kknd> I will try the 64 bits version on next ubuntu release
[02:02] <Luxurious> Gnea, nope, this is not that large a thread.
[02:02] <zacs7> hmm thanks, and would I see a benift for hardware support moving to 7.4? (from 6.10)?
[02:02] <thirdy> can I run beryl? 1.1duron, 256mb ram, 128vram
[02:02] <Ninereeds> reinstall it? how do you mean?
[02:02] <marganon> Hey, does anyone have any experience with installing U on a RAID desktop?
[02:02] <super-6-1> refoemat ur HD and start over
[02:02] <gregcha117> my update-manager came up with "Error: Opening the cahce (E:Read error - read (21 Is a directory), E:The Package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.) and sudo apt-get update doesnt fix it what do i do?
[02:03] <super-6-1> reformat
[02:03] <Gnea> Luxurious: right, and you'll see that the 10th reply actually contains the answer to your question.
[02:03] <Luxurious> Gnea, again, that is not relevant to my problem.  I saw a post on the Ubuntu forums that almost was, but all my files seem to reside in /etc/alternatives/ and not /usr/lib/
[02:03] <ziroday> gregcha117: do you have automatix
[02:03] <Ninereeds> there's nothing on it, no partitions or anything..
[02:03] <super-6-1> Okey ~
[02:03] <super-6-1> thats ur problem
[02:03] <Ninereeds> eh?
[02:03] <dchky> I thought automatix was frowned upon? Slashdot groupthink seems to say that anyway.
[02:03] <muriu> ziroday, how do i check the version of ubuntu installed in my ubuntu feisty?
[02:03] <Ninereeds> i cant start the ubuntu installation prog if i dont have partitions on it already?
[02:04] <super-6-1> when you get to the boot or install make sure you format ur HD
[02:04] <Gnea> Luxurious: /etc/alternatives/ is a directory that redirects program files symbolically to their real location, so that the main program directory can access them even if they get upgraded
[02:04] <ziroday> muriu: System > About Ubuntu
[02:04] <Endlessguitar> hello
[02:04] <Gnea> Luxurious: you wouldn't actually find anything other than symbolic links in there
[02:04] <Ninereeds> yea but i cant get intoo the install.. it wont start just a black screen...
[02:04] <dchky> Ninereeds, you can still run ubuntu, if you want to install it you'll need to manage your partitions to free up some space.
[02:04] <gregcha117> ziroday: yeah i do
[02:04] <Endlessguitar> can some1 help me to install winrar ? I extract in on my desktop the files and now have I 2 gz files
[02:04] <super-6-1> OOH Y@CHH ... ur computer
[02:05] <dchky> oh.
[02:05] <Bokeh> winrar?
[02:05] <Bokeh> on linux?
[02:05] <Endlessguitar> yes
[02:05] <ziroday> !automatix | gregcha117
[02:05] <Gothfunc> is it easier to install ldap on ubuntu desktop than it is ubuntu server?
[02:05] <ubotu> gregcha117: 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
[02:05] <Frogzoo> muriu: lsb_release -a
[02:05] <Luxurious> Gnea, I didn't know that!  That solves the problem actually, as these symbolic links have now lead me to the directory that contains Java.  Thanks a bunch.
[02:05] <Ninereeds> dchky yes but dont i do that during the installation program?
[02:05] <Bokeh> Gothfunc: no difference whatsoever
[02:05] <ziroday> gregcha117: what i recommend you do is use source o matic to cleanse your /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:05] <dchky> you do Ninereeds, sorry I see the problem  you are having now.
[02:05] <Gnea> Luxurious: you're quite welcome
[02:06] <ziroday> !source-o-matic | gregcha117
[02:06] <ubotu> gregcha117: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[02:06] <JuJuBee> Howdy all.

[02:08] <marganon> Hello everyone, is there any kind soul who has installed Ubuntu on a RAID desktop?
[02:08] <JuJuBee> Anybody know what I can do to troubleshoot my NIS problem?  I kinda need it to work so my students can log in.
[02:08] <gregcha117> ziroday: it didnt seem to work, i had automatix uninstalled after i installed a few codecs and everything seemed to work fine this just happened out of the blue when i restarted the other day
[02:08] <marganon> Who'd let me ask a few bonehead questions?
[02:08] <super-6-1> Ninereeds: i sent it to you
[02:08] <sivaji> JuJuBee #linux

[02:14] <ziroday> damn i need more coffee
[02:14] <super-6-1> i need help with installing ndiswrapper can anyone help?
[02:14] <King_anarky> need to speak with _Codeman_, anyone seen him lately?
[02:14] <gnomefreak> super-6-1: depends what is the problem?
[02:15] <GhostNULL> Hi folks. I'm having a problem with installing Ubuntu. It hangs right after I select Start Live/Install. No message or anything. My monitors go into standby. Keyboard leds start blinking. Any ideas?
[02:15] <super-6-1> i need to install it
[02:15] <gnomefreak> super-6-1: use synaptic?
[02:16] <super-6-1> gnomefreak: i can accsess the internet and i have a ndiswrapper package downloaded
[02:16] <gnomefreak> super-6-1: installing ndisgtk might be helpful as its a GUI frontend to ndiswrapper
[02:16] <underguiz> can someone tell if laptop-mode really makes any difference?
[02:16] <super-6-1> gnomefreak: ok how?
[02:16] <gnomefreak> super-6-1: sudo apt-get install ndisgtk
[02:16] <super-6-1> Okey ~
[02:17] <Eric_Jardas> if you want to set some custom things youll have to compile it from source
[02:17] <__enigma__> !ndiswrapper
[02:17] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[02:17] <Eric_Jardas> otherwise do what gnomefreak said
[02:17] <saxin> GhostNULL: try using the alternative CD/DVD.
[02:18] <GhostNULL> saxin: What do you mean by alternative? x86 instead of amd64?
[02:18] <saxin> GhostNULL: alternate
[02:19] <saxin> the installer is text-based
[02:19] <gnomefreak> GhostNULL: alternate cd is text based installer
[02:19] <super-6-1> gromefreak its going throught everything
[02:19] <superskank> c' nessuno?
[02:19] <Hoxzer> Can somebody help me to solve cedega python problem ?
[02:19] <GhostNULL> I'm a linux noob. Not sure a textbase install is such a good idea. :P
[02:19] <Eric_Jardas> GhostNULL, are you installing a 64bit version ?
[02:20] <saxin> GhostNULL: its no problem
[02:20] <saxin> GhostNULL: just try :)
[02:20] <GhostNULL> Eric_Jardas: Yes.
[02:20] <GhostNULL> saxin: So I won't need to know a bunch to install it with the textbased installer?
[02:20] <Eric_Jardas> GhostNULL, maybe 64bit version just won't work in your case...It doesn't work in mine either
[02:20] <gnomefreak> GhostNULL: it uses nscurses its the blue and white screens you use keyboard instead of mouse
[02:20] <Hoxzer> Text based install is pretty similar to graphical one :) Menus just dont look too fancy
[02:20] <GhostNULL> oh
[02:21] <GhostNULL> :)
[02:21] <GhostNULL> Thanks. I'll try it.

[02:29] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?

[02:33] <yanbe> http://www.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp/
[02:33] <forever> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

[02:34] <forever> can anybody explain me pls?
[02:34] <ziroday> Smashcat: np
[02:35] <Nvening> it says i cant change the owner if i try and change it from root to my user name
[02:35] <gnomefreak> forever: since its not a package (who told you to install that package?_
[02:35] <forever> it was gethering informations but says is not available after
[02:35] <xukun> Gnea, ?
[02:35] <gnomefreak> forever: it isnt a package at all
[02:35] <yama> ?
[02:35] <gnomefreak> not in ubuntu
[02:35] <wols> forever: why do you need this package?
[02:35] <forever> i saw in a site
[02:35] <cactusbin> ???
[02:35] <cactusbin> what site?
[02:35] <Smashcat> ziroday: Wow, 238Mb, that's not too bad!
[02:35] <forever> to make 3d works
[02:35] <crdlb> forever, there is no driver that will make 3d work for your card
[02:35] <gnomefreak> forever: what videocard?
[02:35] <wols> forever: for what videochip?
[02:36] <cactusbin> forever: NVIDEA or ATX
[02:36] <Gnea> xukun: edit /etc/fstab with the new information, mkdir /home-new && mount /dev/hdX# /home-new && cp -a /home/* /home-new/ && umount /home-new && mv /home /home-old && mount /home && rm -rf /home-old (you should logout of X, logout any users, and login as root on tty1 to perform this)
[02:36] <gnomefreak> cactusbin: i doubt either

[02:37] <cactusbin> forever: nice card...
[02:37] <Gnea> !?!?!?
[02:37] <gnomefreak> forever: nope no drivers will work on that card (atleast in ubuntu) installing drivers from some website isnt really advised but feel free to compile it or install it from the site
[02:37] <crdlb> the site specifically says that there are no DRI drivers for that card

[02:39] <pazemlsqdfmoj> hi, can anyone  suggest a tool to save an entire website for offline use?
[02:40] <Gnea> pazemlsqdfmoj: wget
[02:40] <forever> ok
[02:40] <forever> i had closed
[02:40] <forever> let me see
[02:40] <rmd_> pazemlsqdfmoj, if you're using firefox, search around on the add-ons website
[02:40] <cactusbin> pazemlsqdfmoj: wget [url] 
[02:41] <pazemlsqdfmoj> cactusbin: i have to log in to the website (its from uni)
[02:41] <Gnea> cactusbin: you forgot -m
[02:42] <BecenG> hello i have another question how do i install windows drivers with ndiswrapper?
[02:42] <Frogzoo> pazemlsqdfmoj: well I could suggest wget -r
[02:42] <Gnea> !ndiswrapper | BecenG
[02:42] <ubotu> BecenG: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[02:43] <Gnea> Frogzoo: you could, but then i'd have to kill you. ;)
[02:43] <Gnea> j/k
[02:43] <pazemlsqdfmoj> Frogzoo: how would i do that on a site that requires a login?
[02:43] <Gothfunc> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenLDAPServer is supposed to explain how to install ldap, and apparently you just apt-get it.... but that just doesn't work for me.  ldapsearch returns can't contact ldap server.  i do slapd -d 255 and it says "failed on ldap:///"
[02:43] <Gnea> wget --help | less    <-- read the options there
[02:43] <Gnea> -m would just mirror the site itself
[02:43] <juso> I enabled desktop effects and now I get a white screen. I tried to restart X but I do not get nothing, any ideas how can I disable desktop effects?
[02:44] <Frogzoo> pazemlsqdfmoj: --http-password ?

[02:45] <hazard5150> I just wanted to say, hazard, that it's getting annoying to have you always trying to use my nick.
[02:45] <cactusbin> I attempted to install the muslim edition of ubuntu's theme (because it looks awsome) but now my entire thing is being displayed in arabic (which isn't a legal font so everything is blocks) I uninstalled the package and rebooted, but it won't work! How can I get it back to english? (ubuntu muslim edition = http://www.ubuntume.com/)
[02:45] <Frogzoo> Gnea: well I use "wget -np -r -p -N" but that's just me
[02:45] <Milo|SharcNET__> I'm trying to get X11 forwarding working properly, yet no matter what I do I get the "Xlib: Connection to server refused" error, none of the tips on the forums have worked thus far :/
[02:45] <Gnea> lol
[02:46] <Felessan> Morning :)
[02:46] <Gnea> Frogzoo: -np is terrific if it's a subdirectory
[02:46] <adnan> how can i log in to single user mode
[02:46] <Gnea> Frogzoo: -m -np http://foo/bar  <-- same thing.
[02:46] <adnan> grub>
[02:46] <Gnea> Frogzoo: -m http://foo  <-- see the difference?
[02:46] <adnan> is it linux single

[02:47] <Milo|SharcNET__> adnan, just add "single" to the command line kernel arguement, yeah
[02:47] <Felessan> I was hoping someone could help a newbie figure out how to make his extra mouse buttons work, I've tried the documentation on the web, but don't think I got it quite right.
[02:47] <Gnea> adnan: just add 'single' to the end of the kernel line, without the quotes
[02:47] <Conhe> wait is ?
[02:47] <juso> wols, no one is answering there, that's why I asked here.
[02:47] <adnan> not working

[02:49] <adnan> i will in a moment
[02:49] <Milo|SharcNET__> adnan, select the kernel image line, press e to edit it, and add "single" to the end
[02:50] <Milo|SharcNET__> then press b to boot
[02:50] <Gnea> when you get the menu up, select the kernel you want to boot, then press e
[02:50] <Gnea> adnan: yeah, what Milo|SharcNET__ said
[02:50] <adnan> do i select kernel
[02:50] <Milo|SharcNET__> use the arrow keys
[02:50] <adnan> to select the kernel
[02:50] <adnan> right
[02:51] <bruno> i have a problem with my sound card i unplugged the mic and i don't have sound anymore
[02:51] <adnan> and do I click on edit or enter in order to bring up the kernel
[02:51] <adnan> gnear
[02:51] <adnan> are you there
[02:51] <adnan> gnea
[02:52] <sivaji_> adnan i think enter
[02:52] <adnan> Milo|SharcNET
[02:52] <adnan> to load into the kernel
[02:52] <Milo|SharcNET__> adnan, highlight that line, the one with vmlinuz in it, press e, add "Single" to the end, hit enter, hit b
[02:53] <Gnea> adnan: grub doesn't use the mouse....
[02:53] <Gnea> adnan: is this someone elses box?

[02:54] <Felessan> Would anyone be able to help a newbie get his extra mouse buttons to working?
[02:54] <Don> alana
[02:54] <Milo|SharcNET__> it'll boot right into root account
[02:54] <adnan> will it allow me to run fsck
[02:54] <Gnea> adnan: then you should ask whoever owns the box for the password

[02:56] <BecenG> gromefreak thank you for ur help
[02:56] <Felessan> I was hoping to get verification that I did do it right, I'm super new to this Ubuntu/Linux system
[02:56] <Felessan> Just installed it yesterday :)
[02:56] <zachalekos> hi everyone, does anyone know how to get amsn working?
[02:56] <adnan> It is not booting up
[02:56] <BecenG> Felessan: ur not the only one [] )
[02:56] <Felessan> But then if I did do it right, then the buttons would work wouldn't they
[02:57] <ziroday> Felessan: yes
[02:57] <adnan> It says Try passing init= option to kernel
[02:57] <Gnea> Felessan: what mouse do you have?
[02:57] <bruno> Gnea: i just unplugged the mic and i don't have sound anymore
[02:57] <Felessan> So that means I did do something wrong
[02:57] <volfied> I have attached an external monitor (1680x1050 res) with VGA port and use it as a single monitor on my laptop, but when I detach my laptop and change resolution, it reboots, and when I try logging in, it keeps throwing me back to login, can someone please help
[02:57] <Felessan> Gnea: I'm using a Logitech marble mouse
[02:57] <adnan> Kernel panic - not syncing : NO init found. Try passing init
[02:58] <Gnea> bruno: type: alsamixer  in a terminal and double check make sure master and pcm are turned up and not (MM) muted
[02:58] <adnan> it is not booting up Gnea
[02:58] <Gnea> adnan: you need to add  single to the very end of the kernel line
[02:58] <ziroday> volfied: go to a console session and the do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-sorg
[02:58] <adnan> I did
[02:58] <Gnea> it shouldn't give an init error then
[02:59] <randall> hiya e1
[02:59] <adnan> ption to kernel
[02:59] <adnan> it says
[02:59] <Gnea> adnan: do you have an ubuntu cd?
[02:59] <adnan> nope
[02:59] <volfied> ziroday xserver-sorg is not found, I tried xserver-org as well, what can it be?
[02:59] <ziroday> sorry volfied got that wrong its dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:59] <volfied> ah
[02:59] <bruno> Gnea: master and pcm are not muted
[02:59] <Gnea> adnan: get one and boot that, then fsck from a root prompt terminal window
[02:59] <Milo|SharcNET__> sigh, adnan, whisper me a copy/paste of the whole line
[02:59] <ziroday> volfied: typed wrong my bad
[02:59] <ziroday> volfied: then set it up there and you should be good
[02:59] <Felessan> Man I've got alot of learning to do to use this OS, is there like a newbie channel out there, where everything is explained like they were talking to a child? :)
[03:00] <Gnea> bruno: what is the status of the mic level? is the boost db on?
[03:00] <adnan> Milo|SharcNET, Kernel panic - not syncing : no init found.
[03:00] <ziroday> Felessan: this is it but a good guide is , (gimme a min)
[03:00] <adnan> Try passing init = option to kernel
[03:00] <aa_> so, the dapper installer cannot find my SATA drive, suggestions?
[03:01] <Frogzoo> aa_: try feisty?
[03:01] <ziroday> Felessan: this site nearly explains everything http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty
[03:01] <Milo|SharcNET__> adnan, not that line, the line you editted, the one you added single to
[03:01] <Felessan> Ziroday: Thanks I'll check that out
[03:01] <aa_> Frogzoo: I want a supported server until 2011
[03:02] <aa_> Frogzoo: feisty will be depracated by 2008
[03:02] <adnan> i don't have that line now
[03:02] <ziroday> Felessan: np and remember google is your best friend for help
[03:02] <adnan> how can i get back to it
[03:02] <Milo|SharcNET__> reboot...?
[03:02] <adnan> ok
[03:02] <Gnea> aa_: you don't have a choice, you have to work on it now and then.
[03:02] <bruno> Gnea: the boost db is muted
[03:02] <adnan> does cntrl _ alt _del work
[03:02] <aa_> Gnea: I don't understand
[03:02] <Math^> why is it, that when u have a server running, u cant connect on that ip-adress?
[03:02] <Gnea> bruno: try unmuting it
[03:03] <adnan> Milo|SharcNET
[03:03] <Math^> only local... with same ip-adress...?
[03:03] <Milo|SharcNET__> adnan, yes of course it does
[03:03] <Gnea> aa_: that's the problem.  software evolves, it gets better and better, that's just how it works. to demand that it remains static would cause everything to break and fall apart.
[03:03] <Frogzoo> Math^: probly cos that service isn't configured to bind to other ips other than localhost
[03:04] <adnan> na
[03:04] <adnan> it does not want to restart
[03:04] <adnan> turn off turn on
[03:04] <adnan> how about that
[03:04] <bruno> Gnea: it doesn't work
[03:04] <Gnea> bruno: check the speaker connections
[03:04] <Math^> i can connect on the server with 10.0.0.1 only, but when i have an other connection i can also join it whith the official ip-adres
[03:04] <aa_> Gnea: I don't need much improvement, I just need security fixes until 2011
[03:05] <jon__> is it possible to do visual basic on ubuntu?
[03:05] <Math^> jon__: omg ^^
[03:05] <encompass> jon__: look up mono
[03:05] <Gnea> aa_: you seem to have a problem with reality - you're either going to have to get with the program or the program will get with you.
[03:05] <aa_> jon__: yeah, visual basic 1 runs under dosemu
[03:05] <jon__> !mono
[03:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mono - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:05] <spikeb> if you want support that long you will need to get a distro that has very long support cycles aa_
[03:05] <lunixman> hello
[03:05] <lunixman> i managed to install my NTFS partitions using disk mounter
[03:05] <aa_> spikeb: dapper has a release cycle that long!
[03:05] <lunixman> however it is set to read only
[03:05] <encompass> /window close
[03:06] <lunixman> i replaced ro with rw but it still wont let me access
[03:06] <lunixman> its still read only
[03:06] <spikeb> aa_: no it doesnt. dapper is supported to 09, unless you meant server.
[03:06] <bruno> Gnea: i don't think it was the problem, i had sound before and i just unplugged the  preamp and i don't have sound anymore
[03:06] <aa_> Gnea: I think you have the problem with reality, upgrading a server to a new operating system every six months is insanity
[03:06] <aa_> spikeb: yes I mean server
[03:06] <spikeb> centos 4 is supported til 2012 or so, 5 even longer.
[03:06] <wols> lunixman: use ntfs-3g or it will never be rw
[03:06] <spikeb> and that's all the packages, not some silly differentiation.
[03:06] <Gnea> aa_: who does that?
[03:06] <lunixman> how do i use ntfs-3g?
[03:06] <RedACE> are the support prices per-machine or per-organization?
[03:06] <beasty__> anyone here has a asrock motherboard ?
[03:07] <Frogzoo> !ntfs-3g
[03:07] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[03:07] <aa_> Gnea: but feisty will be depracated in 6 months
[03:07] <wols> !ntfs-3g
[03:07] <lunixman> thanks
[03:07] <wols> beasty__: askt your real question
[03:07] <aa_> Gnea: I won't be getting security updates. How awful
[03:07] <Gnea> aa_: so keep up and fix it
[03:07] <greedo> need help with vmware-player please. i just did apt-get install vmwarep-player and then it installed but doesn't start giving lots of errors :(
[03:07] <robertj> hey all, where can I dowlnoad ppc64 iso of 7.04?
[03:07] <adnan> Gnea
[03:07] <adnan> if I cannot restart the system from that error
[03:07] <wols> greedo: telling us error messages is not optional
[03:07] <adnan> can I turn off and on the machine
[03:08] <greedo> wols: i'm pasting :)
[03:08] <greedo> wols: related to vmnet. failed to install
[03:08] <Gnea> aa_: i take it you aren't an administrator
[03:08] <greedo> i'm trying to apt-get install -f
[03:08] <aa_> Gnea: now really, are you suggesting I fix a depracated OS instead of using dapper? now who is having trouble with reality?
[03:08] <spikeb> erm
[03:08] <aa_> Gnea: only when I have to, I am a dev
[03:09] <Gnea> aa_: okay, well then you should either learn how to admin a box or get someone to help you admin it
[03:09] <aa_> oh is this for real?
[03:09] <bruno> Gnea: could you help me?
[03:09] <spikeb> knock it off you two - not only is it boring, but it's offtopic
[03:09] <aa_> Gnea: that is the whole point of using a long-term ubuntu release
[03:09] <RedACE> Why don't you upgrade? Just change your sources and apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
[03:10] <PriceChild> RedACE, that is not recommended. /msg ubotu upgrade
[03:10] <RedACE> PriceChild, are you kidding?
[03:10] <Gnea> bruno: did you double-check the rest of the speaker connections? do you have a walkman or an mp3 player that you can test the speakers with?
[03:10] <aa_> Gnea: actually, I am adebian user for 7nearly 10 years, I'll just use debian stable
[03:10] <Gnea> aa_: good idea, etch is pretty good, and you can just s/etch/stable/g and it'll catch the upgrades on its own.
[03:10] <aa_> foolish me for thinking ubuntu was actually taking anything except "Desktop Effects" seriously
[03:10] <wols> aa_: debian can have the exact same problems btw
[03:10] <RedACE> that's how you're supposed to upgrade debian... which ubuntu is based on
[03:11] <wols> RedACE: debian isn't upgraded that way either
[03:11] <Gnea> aa_: i've been using debian for a decade as well.
[03:11] <RedACE> wols: it is.
[03:11] <PriceChild> RedACE, I am not no.
[03:11] <PriceChild> RedACE, ubuntu != ubuntu
[03:11] <bruno> Gnea: i have a walkman i'm going to try
[03:11] <wols> RedACE: it is not. please check your facts
[03:11] <Gnea> bruno: ok
[03:11] <PriceChild> RedACE, please "/msg ubotu upgrade" and read the recommended method.
[03:11] <Milo|SharcNET__> did he figure out how to log in yet?
[03:11] <aa_> Gnea: then you see why I want to use dapper, not feisty :)
[03:11] <RedACE> I am reading
[03:11] <wols> RedACE: for starters. apt-get is deprecated for dist upgradeds
[03:12] <thirdy_> http://digg.com/linux_unix/93_of_Linux_users_are_male
[03:12] <thirdy_> funny
[03:12] <wols> aa_: your solution is to use a different kernel with dapper or using another release. your choice
[03:12] <Milo|SharcNET__> my completely retarded mother uses linux :)
[03:12] <aa_> wols: well, I assumed that dapper kernel would be upgraded
[03:13] <aa_> maybe that was a bad assumption
[03:13] <aa_> mayb/probably
[03:13] <lunixman> thanks the ntfs-config worked
[03:13] <wols> debian etch will, but it probably won't be supported til 2011
[03:13] <Gnea> aa_: doesn't make a difference to me, the point is that you require a solution that is guaranteed to flat-line you in 4 years, not 2.  if running debian stable makes it work, then go for it.  i don't care why you want to run dapper. :)
[03:13] <RedACE> I see.. you have a special gui and custom tools for upgrading
[03:14] <adriano284> ns identify avellino
[03:14] <RedACE> I upgraded through 2 major releases of debian with dist-upgrade and it worked fine
[03:14] <bruno> Gnea: i only have a background sound into my speakers and perhaps i have to reinitialize my sound card but i don't know how to do it
[03:14] <PriceChild> adriano284, please change your password very quickly. In future do identifying in the server tab so that mistakes like that don't matter.
[03:14] <aa_> Gnea: right well, feisty won't flat line me for another 6 months
[03:14] <greedo> wols: i'm experiencing exactly what's explained there http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=366973&highlight=vmware-player however the solution posted is "install virtualbox"
[03:14] <RedACE> It's a shame that ability has broken
[03:15] <IndyN00b> Hello.  I am trying to get my friends ubuntu desktop to connect to a wireless lan but we aren't having any luck.  We have tried 3 different usb(2 dlink and one Blitzz) adaptors and one pci(linksys) but we can't get any of them to work properly.  one of the dlink usb isn't even acknowledged.  the Blitzz is seen but I don't see it in ifconfig or iwconfig.  The other dlink appears in ifconfig but in the network manager is shows as 
[03:15] <PriceChild> RedACE, its not broken, its just safer to use the upgrade-manager tools
[03:15] <Myrtti> IndyN00b: The other dlink appears in ifconfig  but in the network manager is shows as
[03:15] <Myrtti> IndyN00b: I think you tried to send a bit too long message at once...
[03:15] <RedACE> is apt-get upgrade still safe?
[03:15] <Milo|SharcNET__> wireless is always alot of fun.... o.O
[03:16] <IndyN00b> Thanks
[03:16] <PriceChild> RedACE, that's fine
[03:16] <IndyN00b> The other dlink appears in ifconfig but in the network manager is shows as a wired connection and I can't configure the wireless network.  The last one (the pci) is detected as wireless but I can't scan the network.  It says that scanning isn't supported by the hardware.  Does anyone have any suggestions to help us?
[03:16] <wols> greedo: check your syslog and dmesg for error messages if any
[03:16] <andydna> ANyone have a recommendation for a WLAN card that works out of the box?
[03:16] <PriceChild> RedACE, only when upgrade distributions is it highly recommended to use upgrade-manager
[03:16] <Milo|SharcNET__> IndyN00b, are you using the Network Manager applet?
[03:17] <IndyN00b> Yes the Network Manager applet and also tried Wicd
[03:17] <greedo> no errors in dmesg nor syslog
[03:17] <wols> IndyN00b: have you loaded the drivers and firmware properly for any of those wlan adapters?
[03:17] <Milo|SharcNET__> IndyN00b, ok and what type of encryption is the access point on?
[03:18] <wols> greedo: I'm very sceptical there. what is in each?
[03:18] <Parmenion> IndyN00b, test with an open connection first, if it works, move on to WAP
[03:18] <greedo> last entries in dmesg concern usb flash drives
[03:18] <IndyN00b> WEP 64bit
[03:18] <Milo|SharcNET__> what I was about to say :)
[03:18] <IndyN00b> ok
[03:18] <Parmenion> =)
[03:18] <greedo> and /var/log/syslog has stuff about gconf and cron
[03:18] <greedo> no fresh entries
[03:18] <greedo> related to vmware-player
[03:19] <bionoid> IndyN00b: had trouble connecting to a 64bit wep the other day.. solved it with putting wireless-keymode restricted in /etc/network/interfaces
[03:19] <Eternal> Here there are girls?
[03:19] <hollandlucas> hello
[03:19] <Milo|SharcNET__> it has to be restricted, otherwise the key is ignored
[03:20] <GhostNULL> Hi folks. I just tried installing Ubuntu 7.04 alternate and after install I it hangs, monitors going into sleep and keyboard leds start blinking. Same thing happened right away when I select install from the normal ubuntu 7.04 setup.
[03:20] <bruno> Gnea: have you an idea?
[03:20] <Gnea> bruno: do you have the alsaconf command as root?
[03:21] <Milo|SharcNET__> GhostNULL, specifically at what phase of the boot does it do that?
[03:21] <Gnea> Eternal: try efnet
[03:21] <Milo|SharcNET__> ROFL
[03:21] <shawn34> I have 2 gigs of ram now, play a lot of cedega games and encode dvds and edit video and pictures. Would expanding to 4 gigs really give me a performance boost or am I good with 2?
[03:21] <GhostNULL> Right after the boot menu.
[03:21] <bruno> Gnea: no
[03:22] <Gnea> bruno: tried rebooting?
[03:22] <bionoid> shawn34: Only way to know is to look at your RAM usage. You can likely increase performance somewhat by adding more ram and setting (sysctl) vm.swappiness to a low number
[03:22] <bruno> yes it's doesn't work
[03:22] <Gnea> shawn34: depends how much of all of that you want to do at the same time
[03:22] <shawn34> bionoid, thanx
[03:23] <Milo|SharcNET> GhostNULL, I'd start by booting in from the CD and getting into a rescue environment so you can access the boot logs
[03:23] <Gothfunc> ubuntu feisty install cd takes an awful long time to boot up :o
[03:23] <Eternal> Gnea:: And what on ubuntu men work only?)
[03:23] <GhostNULL> I could access the resuce environment from the boot menu and it worked. I just had no idea what to do there.
[03:24] <Milo|SharcNET> Eternal, I'll paraphrase "this isn't the place to go cruising for chicks"
[03:24] <lunixman> ok
[03:24] <andydna> Can anyone recommend a WLAN card that is supported out of the box??
[03:24] <lunixman> i got the ntfs configuration tool to detect my ntfs partitions
[03:24] <lunixman> i did what was said in the instructions, to check the mount points
[03:24] <lunixman> etc etc
[03:25] <lunixman> but still my partitions are read only
[03:25] <bruno> Gnea: i tried rebooting but it doesn't work
[03:25] <Milo|SharcNET> lunixman, manually edit your fstab file and change them to rw?
[03:25] <GhostNULL> So how does one access boot logs from the rescue thingy?
[03:25] <lunixman> yeahyeah
[03:25] <lunixman> still wont budge
[03:26] <neti> hi all, who can help me with python please?
[03:26] <Gnea> bruno: and if you plug the mic back in?
[03:26] <Gnea> neti: #python
[03:26] <Milo|SharcNET> lunixman, you changed the attribute to rw and remounted?
[03:26] <neti> ok thx
[03:26] <PriceChild> GhostNULL, mount the drive and take a look in mountpoint/var/log/
[03:26] <jarsqq> how i can install xmms theme??
[03:26] <lunixman> hm
[03:26] <lunixman> i'll try that
[03:26] <lunixman> hold on
[03:27] <Eternal> Milo|SharcNET:: It not that that you have thought
[03:27] <GhostNULL> this isn't a good start at linux for me. :P
[03:27] <Milo|SharcNET> GhostNULL,  the boot file and messages file is a good starting place
[03:27] <bruno> Gnea: it doesn't work
[03:27] <Gnea> jarsqq: copy the .zip file to ~/.xmms/Skins/
[03:27] <jarsqq> but cant
[03:27] <Eternal> Milo|SharcNET:: i'm find girl, because i'm not talking with mans :)
[03:27] <Eternal> )
[03:28] <jarsqq> because im not root?
[03:28] <Gnea> bruno: double check your connections, make sure the power's turned on the speakers, check volume levels, make sure there isn't a small piece of metal getting in the way of the audio jacks
[03:28] <Milo|SharcNET> GhostNULL, is the box really old?
[03:28] <Gnea> !offtopic | Eternal
[03:28] <ubotu> Eternal: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[03:29] <Eternal> ohhh i'm so sorry :'(((
[03:29] <Gnea> jarsqq: i doubt it
[03:30] <Eternal> where are you girlsssss!!! Please go working in support of ubuntu!!! ohhh
[03:30] <GhostNULL> Milo|SharcNET: No, not really. AMD64, 3000+.
[03:30] <Milo|SharcNET> GhostNULL, heh, well at least we can rule out legacy hardware incompatibility
[03:30] <GhostNULL> I just found a forum post with someone with the exact same problem I have.
[03:31] <ompaul> Eternal, please don't
[03:31] <GhostNULL> only similarity I can find is we both have ATI cards.
[03:32] <bruno> Gnea: if i would boot into windows 2000 before booting into ubuntu, i would have sound into ubuntu again, don't you find it's strange?
[03:32] <crimeboy> ubuntu starts on runlevel 2 rc2.d ?
[03:32] <ompaul> crimeboy, it does
[03:32] <Gnea> bruno: you on a laptop?
[03:32] <Gnea> bruno: is that a thinkpad?
[03:32] <Milo|SharcNET> GhostNULL, no luck accessing the logs?
[03:32] <ompaul> crimeboy, debian style, in the future that with change to an init.d replacement
[03:33] <crimeboy> ompaul: tanks
[03:33] <GhostNULL> I'm trying to read up on basic linux commands.
[03:33] <ompaul> !cli | GhostNULL
[03:33] <ubotu> GhostNULL: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[03:34] <bruno> Gnea: i'm not on laptop
[03:34] <soundray> GhostNULL: would you mind restating the problem (since I joined late)
[03:34] <Gnea> bruno: do you know how to edit grub settings?
[03:34] <wols> bruno: what chip is it?
[03:34] <bruno> Gnea: no
[03:35] <GhostNULL> soundray: I just tried installing Ubuntu 7.04 alternate and after install I it hangs, monitors going into sleep and keyboard leds start blinking. Same thing happened right away when I select install from the normal ubuntu 7.04 setup.
[03:35] <wols> greedo: look for vmware init scripts in /etc/init.d/ and try to start them with sudu script start
[03:35] <soundray> GhostNULL: have you tried Graphics Safe Mode from the normal Desktop CD?
[03:36] <GhostNULL> yes
[03:36] <soundray> GhostNULL: same?
[03:36] <Milo|SharcNET> GhostNULL, easiest way to access the logs would be to use the "Rescue a broken system" option from the alt CD
[03:36] <xnet-17> dison
[03:36] <GhostNULL> soundray: Yes.
[03:36] <bruno> Gnea: the sound card is a via 8237
[03:36] <xnet-17> hi everyone
[03:36] <Gnea> bruno: it's easy - just edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file as root, look for your main kernel boot line, where it says something like: kernel          /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb1 ro, add pci=routeirq to the end, so it looks something like this: kernel          /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb1 ro pci=routeirq
[03:36] <greedo> wols: sudo /etc/init.d/vmware-player start seemed to work
[03:36] <soundray> GhostNULL: have you tried the recovery option of your installed system?
[03:36] <GhostNULL> milo: I've managed to get into the rescue thingy but I have no idea how to do anything there.
[03:36] <xnet-17> jancok
[03:37] <wols> greedo: any vmnet stuff?
[03:37] <wols> a vmnet script that is
[03:37] <xnet-17> jancok
[03:37] <Gnea> bruno: basically that'll change the way the system assigns IRQs to everything and will balance it out - if sound doesn't work after that, then it's something else
[03:37] <soundray> GhostNULL: recovery or rescue?
[03:37] <greedo> wols: no vmnet stuff
[03:37] <wols> anything vm* at all?
[03:37] <GhostNULL> hmm... not sure. I think it was recovery.
[03:37] <GhostNULL> Not from the cd.
[03:37] <wols> greedo: sudo ps aux |grep vm
[03:38] <soundray> GhostNULL: okay, good. We just have to find a way to get your X (graphical mode) going then.
[03:38] <phanto1> Please help. I instaled beryl folloing http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_install_Beryl_.28ATI.29    The second way and got an eror when tring to boot to xgl. I  can't remember how to solw the problem  http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1241/529691713_28d5291d3b_o.png I use  Linux Mint Cassandra (Feisty).
[03:38] <GhostNULL> I'd welcome as many things to try out as possible since it takes so long to restart and get back here when/if it fails again.
[03:39] <bruno> Gnea: i'm trying...
[03:39] <greedo> wols yeah several process launched
[03:39] <spikeb> phanto1: linux mint has its own support channel.
[03:39] <wols> greedo: which ones
[03:39] <Gnea> bruno: once it's dont, reboot the system
[03:40] <Gnea> bruno: er, s/dont/done/g
[03:40] <Milo|SharcNET> GhostNULL, you're at the recovery terminal prompt right now right?
[03:41] <GhostNULL> No, I'm afraid the install is on this computer. I just remembered that I have another computer somewhere that I could use to access this channel. =)
[03:41] <greedo> vmnet-bridge vmnet-natd vmnet-netifup vmnet-dhcpd
[03:41] <soundray> GhostNULL: you're chatting from Windows on the same system?
[03:41] <GhostNULL> yes. I'll be back in a few minutes.
[03:41] <Milo|SharcNET> GhostNULL, ok :0
[03:41] <Milo|SharcNET> it'll be much easier that way
[03:42] <soundray> Milo|SharcNET: what's your tack on this?
[03:42] <GhostNULL> heh, yea. I may need to install windows on the other computer.
[03:42] <Milo|SharcNET> soundray, at this point, not much to go on, just trying to get him into the filesystem to access the logs
[03:42] <Milo|SharcNET> GhostNULL, try booting the ubuntu liveCD :D
[03:42] <greedo> wols: vmnet-bridge vmnet-natd vmnet-netifup vmnet-dhcpd
[03:43] <soundray> GhostNULL: before you do that...
[03:43] <Milo|SharcNET> GhostNULL, should be good enough for access to here for now
[03:43] <soundray> GhostNULL: Milo|SharcNET wants to go down the diagnostic route. I'd suggest you try to change the resolution settings first, because that's relatively simple.
[03:44] <bruno> Gnea ok but after "ro" i have "quiet" do i replace it by  "pci=routeirq"?
[03:44] <soundray> GhostNULL: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[03:44] <GhostNULL> The other computer is booting. I'll just download mirc and get back here.
[03:44] <Gnea> bruno: yes
[03:44] <Milo|SharcNET> soundray, but would a resolution issue cause his keyboard LEDs to flash?
[03:44] <bruno> ok
[03:45] <soundray> Milo|SharcNET: it's possible. In any case, changing to a VESA driver may be a step forward.
[03:46] <Milo|SharcNET> soundray, true, always good to eliminate possibilities
[03:46] <bruno> ok i reboot
[03:46] <soundray> Milo|SharcNET: I think it's an issue with the default ati driver.
[03:46] <GhostNULL> ok, on alt computer.
[03:47] <Milo|SharcNET> soundray, I just think the keyboard flashing is a strange symptom if thats the case
[03:47] <soundray> Milo|SharcNET: been there, seen that ;)
[03:48] <Dracc> radeon or ati-drivers?
[03:48] <soundray> GhostNULL: can you boot the problem machine in recovery mode?
[03:48] <GhostNULL> Should I enter the recovery?
[03:48] <GhostNULL> yes, I can
[03:48] <soundray> GhostNULL: yes :)
[03:49] <GhostNULL> ok, I'm in
[03:49] <fivetwentysix> When I resize a window with Beryl activated, I get a lot of frameskips, however when moving windows and doing anything else, it's smooth
[03:49] <spikeb> weird
[03:50] <soundray> Milo|SharcNET: what shall we do, blind fix or log exploration? :)
[03:50] <Milo|SharcNET> changing to the vesa drivers is probably the quicker first step
[03:50] <Milo|SharcNET> if it works, saves alot of time
[03:50] <wols> gree then it seems to work. seems at least
[03:51] <Dracc> Should I use radeon or ati-drivers?
[03:51] <soundray> Milo|SharcNET: agree. GhostNULL, can you enter 'sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf'
[03:51] <Dracc> Or is that the same one?
[03:51] <soundray> Dracc: try both and see if it makes a difference in glxgears
[03:52] <soundray> GhostNULL: use the arrow keys to find the line that says 'Driver "ati"'
[03:52] <Dracc> soundray: Thanks.
[03:52] <GhostNULL> ok, I got what looks like an empty file
[03:53] <soundray> GhostNULL: are you sure you haven't entered any extra spaces? Exit nano with Ctrl-X
[03:53] <Dracc> 3.2k FPS in radeon mode.
[03:53] <Dracc> ati-mode *
[03:53] <datatec> wonder if anyone could help me debug a graphical boot issue
[03:53] <greedo> re
[03:53] <Dracc> what's the package-name for the radeon-driver?
[03:54] <super-6-1> hello there is there a beryl channle for irc?
[03:54] <GhostNULL> soundray: Yes, same thing
[03:54] <GhostNULL> Tried to cd my way to that folder but there doesn't seem to be an x11 under etc
[03:55] <soundray> GhostNULL: X11 (case matters)
[03:55] <Milo|SharcNET> doesn't the ubuntu recovery mode mount the filesystem under the/target directory?
[03:55] <GhostNULL> doh
[03:55] <soundray> Milo|SharcNET: no
[03:55] <RedACE> how do I reconfigure a package that I just installed but it died during configuration?
[03:55] <_hassan_> Did Xandros sign a Novell-like patent deal with Microsoft? Yes.  http://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoft/?p=486   it seems that i will stop using xandros on my mom's pc, i will migrate her to feisty next weekend

[04:05] <soundray> Milo|SharcNET: yes, can you guide please?
[04:05] <GhostNULL> this is fun and sucks at the same time. ^^
[04:06] <soundray> GhostNULL: good attitude. You will get far with Linux. Seriously! :)
[04:06] <datatec> Paradoxx: according to X11  ATI Technologies Inc R200 BB [Radeon All in Wonder 8500DV] ,  "ati"

[04:08] <Paradoxx> datatec: hmm, is that the propriotory driver or ati driver?...When I had a similar problem installing the nvidia proprioetory driver solved the problem
[04:08] <Milo|SharcNET> GhostNULL, see if you can spot anything suspicious in there
[04:09] <soundray> !cron > ubuntu-rocks, please read the private message from ubotu
[04:09] <GhostNULL> I get "Messages (END)"

[04:09] <datatec> Paradoxx: its the opensource one, the one from ati no longer supports my card :(,  I am new to linux, I was wondering even where I can go to see the log to find out were the boot fails
[04:09] <fivetwentysix> What can I do to look use full functionality of sites that were built for Internet Explorer only?
[04:10] <ubuntu-rocks> soundray - tks
[04:10] <Milo|SharcNET> GhostNULL, "ls" what DO you see in the log dir?
[04:10] <soundray> GhostNULL: exit less with q and check that you're in directory /var/log
[04:10] <pike_> fivetwentysix: there is a firefox plugin that lets you report yourself as ie.. i forget the name
[04:10] <GhostNULL> a bunch of stuff. most have .log extension.
[04:10] <fivetwentysix> pike_ but would the sites work?
[04:10] <soundray> Milo|SharcNET: Xorg.0.log ?
[04:10] <GhostNULL> yes
[04:11] <GhostNULL> "less Xorg.0.log"?
[04:11] <drif> where's KDE trashcan located at? under user homedir?
[04:11] <soundray> GhostNULL: yes
[04:11] <pike_> fivetwentysix: well they wouldnt work any better but it would help with some sites that look for a uptodate version of ie
[04:11] <Milo|SharcNET> soundray, heh, i guess out of habbit i always turn to message first
[04:11] <pike_> fivetwentysix: and just dont display
[04:11] <Chest> is it possible to disable the click functionality of a Synaptic touchpad, but keep the cursor movement?
[04:12] <GhostNULL> what am I looking for here?
[04:12] <greedo> wols: tried to reboot to match kernel version and vmware modules, without much success :/
[04:12] <drif> Chest: I've been wondering that same thing myself
[04:12] <fivetwentysix> pike_ So no really full solution out there huh
[04:12] <Chest> drif: the click stuff is annoying.
[04:12] <pike_> Chest: yeah. you just edit xorg.conf
[04:12] <soundray> GhostNULL: go to the end of the file with > and see if there are any messages with (EE)
[04:12] <Paradoxx> datatec: same here...
[04:12] <Chest> pike_: right, but edit which part.
[04:12] <pike_> fivetwentysix: you can use ie with something like seamless desktop. basically it emulates xp and opens a rdesktop window to the local machine that runs ie
[04:13] <orbin> drif: ~/.Trash prossibly
[04:13] <Paradoxx> datatec: um...you could ask some1 else in the channel..I am not so sure
[04:13] <soundray> Chest: you can disable tapping if you install something like gsynaptics
[04:13] <pike_> fivetwentysix: its basically qemu and rdesktop
[04:13] <[GuS] > Hi
[04:13] <soundray> drif: note .Trash is hidden
[04:13] <datatec> Thanks Paradoxx:  :)  I appreciate the help
[04:13] <Chest> soundray: i'll give it a shot.
[04:14] <GhostNULL> (EE) xf860OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/wacom
[04:14] <drif> soundray: does not exist
[04:14] <soundray> Chest: it's a bit involved, you have to enable shm in xorg.conf to use it. The web has some guides
[04:14] <Milo|SharcNET> thats normal
[04:14] <divious1> no sorry it has not worked before
[04:14] <Milo|SharcNET> go a bit higher
[04:15] <soundray> GhostNULL: let me guess, you don't have a tablet. Look for other errors (EE).
[04:15] <datatec> Have an issue 50-80% of the time when I boot ubuntu 7.04 from harddrive I get a black screen where the login screen usually is, The other times it boots normally, any help in tracking down what is happening?
[04:15] <drif> soundray: reason I'm asking that it's still occupying the space I freed up..
[04:15] <GhostNULL> (EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI Capable
[04:15] <soundray> drif: open konsole and do a 'rm -rf ~/.Trash/' (case matters)
[04:15] <pike_> drif: might do .Trash/*
[04:15] <drif> soundray: I already said - it doesn't exist
[04:16] <soundray> GhostNULL: that's fine, too. Is there anything that indicates a more serious failure?
[04:17] <soundray> drif: you said it, but I didn't believe you, because .Trash is hidden. Try the command anyway.
[04:17] <divious1> how can I activate x11 on ubuntu 7.04 I have the packages
[04:17] <Milo|SharcNET> X or startx?
[04:17] <GhostNULL> No more (EE)'s
[04:17] <soundray> divious1: what packages?
[04:17] <divious1> the ones required to run an x11
[04:17] <soundray> Milo|SharcNET: back to resolution fixing?
[04:18] <soundray> divious1: how did you install them?
[04:18] <GhostNULL> maybe I should try the 32bit version?
[04:18] <pike_> divious1: i like to make an .xinitrc file and use xinit. so id do like echo exec fluxbox > ~/.xinitrc; xinit    assuming you have flux as wm
[04:18] <Milo|SharcNET> soundray, the default resolution shouldn't be out of range for most monitors :/
[04:18] <drif> soundray: you can keep treating me as a newbie :) that's ok.. anyway found out the reason..it was mounted drive and naturally .Trash resides on the root of that specific partition
[04:18] <soundray> GhostNULL: no, 64bits is not your problem.
[04:18] <GhostNULL> ok
[04:18] <dimon08> hi all
[04:19] <eetfuk> divious: PM!
[04:19] <metropolis> hi all
[04:19] <dimon08> I have the problem with folding@home client
[04:19] <soundray> drif: I treat everyone as if they don't know things, unless the question indicates otherwise. Yours didn't.
[04:19] <ubuntu-rocks> how do I setup a cron job to do a full backup of a mysql database nightly?  the user logged in is not root
[04:19] <datatec> Have an issue 50-80% of the time when I boot ubuntu 7.04 from harddrive I get a black screen where the login screen usually is, The other times it boots normally, any help in tracking down what is happening?
[04:19] <dimon08> my CPU works at 1Ghz (45%) while it has to work at 100%
[04:19] <dimon08> what can I do??
[04:19] <soundray> Milo|SharcNET: it shouldn't, but stranger things have happened.
[04:20] <Milo|SharcNET> also true
[04:20] <thirdy__> is there an app where you could browse themes from the net, then one click "apply theme"?
[04:20] <TheCreationist> I just installed Feisty on a friend's computer, but cannot get her wireless connection working.  It recognizes the card just fine (RaLink RT2500) and lists available networks, but will not connect to them.  Any ideas?
[04:20] <nzvip> I installed some Intel graphics driver from the repo, but now each time a program wants resize the monitor, X crashes.
[04:20] <gnomefreak> TheCreationist: i believe that is broken in the newest feisty kernel
[04:20] <nzvip> And that means a lot of X crashing.
[04:20] <GhostNULL> What is the standard resolution? I know my monitor supports standard VGA
[04:20] <gnomefreak> TheCreationist: iirc they are working on it
[04:20] <nzvip> I can't even change resolution without X crashing.
[04:20] <soundray> dimon08: nothing. Your CPU is probably waiting for your hard disk drive or another device. Just leave it as it is and trust Linux to be smart about resource use.
[04:21] <jx> firefox doesn't have an address bar, only the google search bar. When I select View>Toolbars>Customize, I don't see an address bar to add. How can I add one?
[04:21] <TheCreationist> gnomefreak: So you're saying she's screwed?
[04:21] <soundray> TheCreationist: disable NetworkManager and nm-applet and configure the device without roaming (System-Preferences-Network)
[04:21] <gnomefreak> TheCreationist: for the time being most likely. however im not sure about the other kernels
[04:21] <dimon08> soundray, but it was running the whole day at that rate.. performing 1% in 55 minutes while it was 23 minutes in edgy and cpu was fully loaded!
[04:21] <gnomefreak> or do as soundray says
[04:21] <PriceChild> gnomefreak it broke in -6? (I haven't noticed as I use gutsy)
[04:21] <nzvip> Anyone willing to help me with my X crashing? O_o?
[04:22] <gnomefreak> PriceChild: thats what i heard
[04:22] <dimon08> soundray, maybe there are some configurations to check?
[04:22] <PriceChild> :(
[04:22] <gnomefreak> PriceChild: broke in gutsy too
[04:22] <TheCreationist> soundray: I've never used or configured a wireless connection in Linux OR Windows...
[04:22] <PriceChild> gnomefreak, so it has.... lol
[04:22] <orbin> jx: navigation bar is checked in View>Toolbars?
[04:22] <danny_> yo
[04:23] <GhostNULL> hmm, could my problems have to do with multiple monitors?
[04:23] <drif> soundray: ok. but when you treat as newbie be sure not to give faulty hints..
[04:23] <soundray> TheCreationist: try what I said: System-Administration-Networking and disable roaming. Remove nm-applet from System-Preferences-Session-Startup programs as well.
[04:23] <KaiSVK> hi there, I would like to ask, I have successfuly deployed Ubuntu on 6 machines in a small net cafe, BUT I would like to make something, that USERs changes will be not permanent. I have an idea, what if /home/user is everyday completely deleted, and than, copied back from backup partition? would this be ok ? or there is some better solution?
[04:23] <soundray> drif: I didn;t.
[04:24] <jx> orbin; yes, but that is the toolbar that has the prev/next/home buttons; I'm looking for the textbox to display/change the current url
[04:24] <KaiSVK> another question is, how can I prevent regular user to shutdown computer ???
[04:24] <drif> soundray: removing the data & files directories temporarely disables the function
[04:24] <dimon08> soundray, can I check somehow why it lows to 1Ghz instead of 100%??
[04:24] <TheCreationist> soundray: That should just automatically turn on the connection then and she'll be all set?
[04:24] <buz> dimon08: does your cpu get stuck on 1ghz?
[04:25] <Gothfunc> ok, i'm using ubuntu feisty desktop install cd on my desktop.  it installed on my laptop fine.  ubuntu feisty server installed on my desktop fine.  this cd, however, takes ages to load up (about 20 minutes) and has a gnome error saying some gnome settings may be disabled.  all along, the cd drive is spinning, clicking etc. profusely.  everything is really slow and i haven't even got tot he actual installation yet.  the cd is clean and
[04:25] <lauriexxx> hi all, can anyone recomand another web browser beside's firefox that works on feisty?
[04:25] <jan____> hi
[04:25] <jan____> can anyone help me with a nvidia related question ?
[04:25] <soundray> dimon08: try 'sudo invoke-rc.d powernowd stop'
[04:25] <bastid_raZor> why leave firefox?
[04:25] <GhostNULL> soundray/milo: Have you given up?
[04:25] <datatec> lauriexxx:  Opera
[04:25] <dimon08> no, if I do some other activities like opening apps it does grow up to 1.8, 2 or 2.2 but then returns back to 1Ghz
[04:25] <buz> soundray: there's a bug in launchpad of cpu's getting stuck at 1ghz
[04:25] <Myrtti> Gothfunc: you tried to send too long message and it clipped from "the cd is clean and"
[04:26] <buz> i ASSUME it's a bug in many acpi implementation
[04:26] <buz> (my thinkpad is affected as well)
[04:26] <Milo|SharcNET> GhostNULL, sorry, was tabbed out reading something
[04:26] <Gothfunc> the cd is clean and has been checked for integrity - it was fine.  any ideas?
[04:26] <Gothfunc> thanks for letting me know
[04:26] <soundray> GhostNULL: no, but you haven't answered my question about anything else indicating some kind of failure.
[04:26] <Myrtti> Gothfunc: np, I see those several a day ;-)
[04:26] <datatec> lauriexxx: http://www.opera.com/download/
[04:26] <datatec> (but not opensource if that matters to you)
[04:26] <orbin> jx: customize, then hunt for the location item
[04:26] <Gothfunc> :)
[04:27] <lauriexxx> datatec: i know, i adore opera, bu does not work on feisty...
[04:27] <soundray> GhostNULL: anyway, what's your screen resolution?
[04:27] <dimon08> soundray, yes just stopped powernowd now my cpu is at 2.20 Ghz.. but the whole time of course
[04:27] <dimon08> buz, you say it's a known bug?
[04:27] <lauriexxx> datatec: or does it?
[04:27] <buz> dimon08: it might be
[04:27] <foxiness> i want to convey the Virtual Box folder from the /home to /opt , what is the ideal way  to do so?
[04:27] <Gothfunc> this is quite frustrating.  there is no way i can go through the installation like this.  should i just not install ubuntu on my computer?
[04:27] <jx> orbin; There is no 'location' object
[04:27] <Gothfunc> maybe i should go back to windows :o
[04:27] <Gothfunc> just kidding
[04:27] <dimon08> buz, there are so many bugs with feisty for me :(((
[04:27] <Myrtti> have you tried other cd-roms?
[04:28] <Gothfunc> sure
[04:28] <Myrtti> drives?
[04:28] <buz> dimon08: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/88899
[04:28] <datatec> lauriexxx: does for me, running 9.20 as we speak
[04:28] <soundray> dimon08: you can install laptop-mode-tools and change the frequency governor via the configuration file.
[04:28] <Myrtti> oh shoot, I have to leave...
[04:28] <Gothfunc> no spare drives
[04:28] <Gothfunc> ok, later
[04:28] <buz> it is not a feisty bug, btw, as it happens on custom kernels too
[04:28] <ubuntu-rocks> i am using ubuntu feisty, i'm not logged in as root.  should i use the users crontab file to execute stuff or the root accounts crontab file.  i am doing things like stoppping/starting apache and would neeed to be root to do this
[04:28] <buz> i think one should report to kernel.org one of these days
[04:28] <dimon08> soundray, but will it be changed automatically?
[04:28] <lkthomas-home> hey guys
[04:28] <Gothfunc> i see similar reports to mine on google, but NO SOLUTIONS
[04:28] <orbin> jx: dunno then.  it should show up there if it's not in place somewhere
[04:28] <lkthomas-home> what if I use killall -9 still can't kill a program, what should I do ?
[04:28] <GhostNULL> soundray: I did and I said there was no more EEs
[04:29] <soundray> dimon08: yes, once you re-enable powernowd
[04:29] <GhostNULL> I have no idea what the res is in the recovery console
[04:29] <soundray> GhostNULL: I didn't ask about EEs
[04:29] <soundray> GhostNULL: what's your physical resolution?
[04:29] <GhostNULL> oh, sorry, misunderstood.
[04:29] <soundray> GhostNULL: when you use Windows?
[04:29] <Milo|SharcNET> ubuntu-rocks, "sudo /etc/init.d/<SERVICE> <COMMAND> should work
[04:29] <GhostNULL> oh, 1600x1200
[04:29] <dimon08> soundray, ok i'll try that right now.. hope this will help
[04:29] <foxiness> lkthomas-home: are u sure pick the correct job?
[04:30] <soundray> GhostNULL: TFT or CRT?
[04:30] <jan____> anyone here has a 'asrock ALIVE NF6G-DVI' motherboard ?
[04:30] <GhostNULL> crt
[04:30] <geoaxis> hello people
[04:30] <datatec> lauriexxx:        http://www.opera.com/download/                     (Top choice for me was " Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft, Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn"  installed it and it worked)
[04:30] <geoaxis> I am trying to install oracle 10gr2 on ubuntu
[04:30] <lkthomas-home> foxiness: yes
[04:30] <lauriexxx> anybody else got a web browser besides firefox and opera? for feisty.
[04:31] <lunixman> yeah
[04:31] <lunixman> swiftfox
[04:31] <buz> konqueror
[04:31] <geoaxis> and i keep getting a missing libc.6.so
[04:31] <TOoSmOotH> IE
[04:31] <foxiness> lkthomas-home: try kill -9 "job No."
[04:32] <geoaxis> lauriexxx,  there is ephiany
[04:32] <soundray> GhostNULL: next thing I'd try is to go through 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'
[04:32] <blackatron> TooSmOoth, -_-
[04:32] <dimon08> soundray, hmm it says "Laptop mode disabled, not active." how do i enable it?
[04:32] <lkthomas-home> foxiness: still can't kill
[04:32] <TOoSmOotH> No one said a good browser.. :)
[04:32] <GhostNULL> I just found something interesting: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2758051
[04:32] <foxiness> lkthomas-home: not killall kill
[04:32] <geoaxis> any one runing oracle here
[04:33] <lkthomas-home> foxiness: same
[04:33] <soundray> GhostNULL: yes, you could try the fglrx driver.
[04:34] <soundray> GhostNULL: best to follow the wiki instructions. Look out for ubotu's pm
[04:34] <soundray> !fglrx > GhostNULL
[04:35] <buz> are intel GMA x3100 supported in feisty?
[04:35] <GhostNULL> What are these Feisty and Edgy?
[04:35] <foxiness> lkthomas-home: restart x or go to init 1 ,then return to init 5 again "save ur workb4 do this"
[04:35] <GhostNULL> oh, nm, I got it
[04:36] <Milo|SharcNET> GhostNULL, the codenames for the versions of Ubuntu
[04:36] <soundray> TheCreationist: not necessarily, it's just something that you should try.
[04:36] <soundray> TheCreationist: I have a rt2500 and that's how I configured mine.
[04:37] <TheCreationist> soundray: Okay, sounds good.  From all the searching I've been doing, it seems the RT2500 has problems for a lot of people.
[04:37] <TheCreationist> soundray: Thank you.
[04:38] <soundray> TheCreationist: still, it's one of the better supported devices. For some it works out of the box.
[04:38] <dimon08> buz, actually my reported cpufreqpolicy seems to be correct in contrast with that bug but it uses 1ghz anyway for some reason
[04:39] <zek> i just downloaded drqueue how do i use it
[04:39] <buz> do you have governor powersave?
[04:39] <Milo|SharcNET> soundray, the rt2500 wireless card?
[04:39] <soundray> Milo|SharcNET: yes
[04:39] <dimon08> buz how do I check this?
[04:39] <buz> try cpufreq-info
[04:39] <dimon08>  available cpufreq governors: userspace, powersave, ondemand, conservative, performance
[04:40] <dimon08>  current policy: frequency should be within 1000 MHz and 2.20 GHz.
[04:40] <dimon08>                   The governor "ondemand" may decide which speed to use
[04:40] <dimon08>                   within this range.
[04:40] <Milo|SharcNET> soundray, tell me, i have an old laptop with one of those and i've been having issues with it turning itself off after about 30 seconds of connectivity
[04:40] <Milo|SharcNET> any thoughts?
[04:40] <dimon08> when I turn off powernow, governor is performance and it decides to set 2.20 Ghz
[04:42] <c0ldfront> it seems there is not alot of chatting going on and there is 1129 people in here
[04:42] <soundray> Milo|SharcNET: it could be NetworkManager interfering
[04:42] <idleone> need help with xorg. I just installed Openchrome folliwing help.ubunt.com/OpenChrome and now my X server wont start. get an error saying no screen found. I did change the "Device" back to i810 and it did not help also changed it to vesa like the wiki says and also no help. what do I need to do to get my GUI back?
[04:42] <dimon08> you know, I start thinking that it's folding client bug.. but it worked fine with edgy for me and works well on another computer right now, started with the same command..
[04:43] <Milo|SharcNET> soundray, I tried with NM turned off, still shuts down shortly after connecting
[04:43] <zek> anybody used drqueue?
[04:43] <soundray> Milo|SharcNET: did you turn off just nm-applet, or did you remove the network-manager package?
[04:43] <mbdv76> halo
[04:43] <viller> how do I make something in /etc/init.d not start on boot
[04:44] <Milo|SharcNET> turned off the applet
[04:44] <mbdv76> im new is ubuntu
[04:44] <soundray> viller: 'sudo update-rc.d servicename remove'
[04:44] <mbdv76> still struggling with my network
[04:44] <a5benwillis> Can I disable SSH access per user?
[04:45] <hjmills> mbdv76, hi - what problems are you having?

[04:45] <Ketzal> anybody can say me how much one melon in japan?
[04:45] <Milo|SharcNET> soundray, i'll try removing it completely and tinkering with it some more, thanks
[04:45] <mbdv76> hey*
[04:45] <Otacon22> look what i made on my motorbike : http://m1.freeshare.us/149fs524715.jpg
[04:45] <Otacon22> *scooter
[04:45] <mbdv76> i think the more i know about how ubuntu works, the easier i can fix my own problems
[04:45] <mbdv76> so perhaps
[04:45] <soundray> Milo|SharcNET: if you don't want to remove the package, you can disable it with 'sudo chmod -x /etc/dbus-1/event.d/25Net* /etc/dbus-1/event.d/26Net*'
[04:46] <zek> I could use some help.  I am trying to setup a small render farm on with my ubuntu comps. I can use drqueue on windows but can use it on ubuntu. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
[04:46] <soundray> Milo|SharcNET: if all else fails, get the legacy CVS driver from serialmonkey and compile it.
[04:46] <mbdv76> just want to know if terminal is better than GUI

[04:47] <Frederick> folks how do I find the jdk path in ubuntu?
[04:47] <mbdv76> yeah
[04:47] <soundray> viller: it only removes the symlinks that start the service on boot. You can still start it manually.
[04:48] <mbdv76> well the error msg is that there is no internet
[04:48] <wols> mbdv76: what are they?
[04:48] <Eric_Jardas> I have the following problem: When I open .js file in gedit I get the C syntax coloring. How can I make javascript syntax coloring default for .js files
[04:48] <wols> mbdv76: then you don't have a connection obviously. /sbin/ifconfig
[04:48] <mbdv76> gaim, firefox, update synaptic, wont access internet, i think its a general issue
[04:48] <PriceChild> Eric_Jardas, view > hilight mode
[04:48] <soundray> GhostNULL: how are you getting on?

[04:49] <ubotu> mbdv76: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[04:49] <wols> mbdv76: ifconfig -a
[04:49] <zek> am i in the wrong channel?
[04:49] <jenda> wols: a simple drupal website
[04:49] <jenda> PriceChild: you think? gah
[04:49] <Bakefy> thanks wols
[04:49] <jenda> I hoped it wolud fit into 2 GiBs
[04:49] <wols> PriceChild: why so big?
[04:49] <Eric_Jardas> PriceChild, lol of course but I don't want to change that every time I edit some .js file
[04:49] <PriceChild> jenda, 1Gb or 1.5Gb at least
[04:50] <jenda> PriceChild: well, that's fine :)
[04:50] <PriceChild> jenda, try it and see :)
[04:50] <Eric_Jardas> PriceChild, I want to set it once and for all
[04:50] <wols> PriceChild: what does ubuntu install to need that much space?
[04:50] <soundray> zek: no, but nobody seems to have an answer for you at this time. Re-ask in a couple of hours, when other people will have logged on.
[04:50] <dimon08> soundray, buz, indeed, f@h started working like before now with powernow turned off.. so should i always turn it off if i want f@h and other possible apps working properly?
[04:50] <jenda> PriceChild: muhehe
[04:50] <PriceChild> jenda, i was leaving you space for extra packages
[04:50] <idleone> need help with xorg. I just installed Openchrome folliwing help.ubunt.com/OpenChrome and now my X server wont start. get an error saying no screen found. I did change the "Device" back to i810 and it did not help also changed it to vesa like the wiki says and also no help. what do I need to do to get my GUI back?
[04:50] <jenda> PriceChild: You know I'm not the type of person to try and see...
[04:50] <jenda> PriceChild: I have people doing that for me :)
[04:50] <PriceChild> jenda, people change :)
[04:50] <jenda> hehe
[04:50] <jenda> thanks
[04:50] <wols> PriceChild: 2-300 mb should be doable for a small lamp setup without data
[04:51] <zek> would there be a better channel to try? no one is on the blenderqa channel
[04:51] <PriceChild> zek, patience
[04:51] <soundray> dimon08: I think you are looking at a feature, not a bug.
[04:51] <PriceChild> jenda, I'm sure it'll be even less space than I think...
[04:51] <wols> zek: google "smart questions" and follow that. makes it much more likely to get help
[04:51] <nickwu2000> does anybody have advice on how to get a mic working on an nforce m/board?
[04:51] <Eric_Jardas> I have the following problem: When I open .js file in gedit I get the C syntax coloring. How can I make javascript syntax coloring default for .js files once and for all
[04:51] <Eric_Jardas> ?
[04:52] <gary> Does anyone know how to make .mp3 files open in xmms (or whatever other programme) when you click on a .mp3 link in firefox 2.0.x ?   I looked in the preferences, but can't seem to add a file type in there
[04:52] <soundray> dimon08: I don't know this for a fact, but it would make sense to me if the f@h client would use cycles that are left over after scaling the frequency down, at times when it's not in interactive use.
[04:52] <dimon08> soundray, yeah maybe, but in this way I need the way to disable this feature for particular program.. and not sure how it will work with other apps..
[04:52] <wols> idaho45: first your check your xorg.log. there is some error or whatnot before that "no screens found"
[04:52] <Milo|SharcNET> Eric_Jardas, I'd suggest you find a better editor for programming functionality, gedit is like wordpad
[04:53] <soundray> dimon08: have you tried whether other apps bring the frequency up?
[04:53] <dimon08> soundray, interactive use?
[04:53] <dimon08> soundray, yes when for example I start some apps frequency does scale up but then returns back
[04:53] <Eric_Jardas> Milo|SharcNET, you are so wrong :) gedit with some plugins and custom coloring etc. is more powerfull then most of the editors ;)
[04:54] <wols> Eric_Jardas: it cannot hold a candle against emacs or vim. so there :P
[04:54] <dimon08> soundray, actually it seems that f@h uses the current value of cpu freq and can't scale it up for some reason..
[04:54] <dimon08> soundray, though it works fine on intel core 2 duo
[04:55] <soundray> dimon08: give me a minute
[04:55] <effie_jayx> Eric_Jardas,  have you tried geany?
[04:55] <Eric_Jardas> wols, yea vim is a great editor but I don't see anything special in it that makes it so different then custom gedit
[04:55] <hjmills> mbdv76, try checking the wiki for ipv6
[04:56] <Eric_Jardas> effie_jayx, yea...don't like it :(
[04:56] <mbdv76> wudnt it be wonderful is like i can send a small txt file that hold important information which can be use to track down problem and to troubleshoot it
[04:56] <effie_jayx> it can compile though :S
[04:56] <mbdv76> so that wen a person have a problem with ubuntu
[04:56] <mbdv76> they use this txt file
[04:56] <mbdv76> sends it to someone
[04:56] <mbdv76> and they look at the txt file
[04:56] <mbdv76> and figures out how to fix the ubuntu
[04:57] <hjmills> mbdv76, so a log? ubuntu has those but you cant log everything and people helping need to be able to understand them
[04:57] <mbdv76> tru
[04:57] <mbdv76> sighhh
[04:57] <Q_Continuum> Man, I hope that DHL truck that ran by my house 2 minutes after I got home didn't already try to deliver my laptop, if I missed it by 5 minutes today I'm gonna be annoyed.
[04:57] <mbdv76> one thing ubuntu taught me is patient
[04:58] <IdleOne> I dont know if anybody answered my xorg question few minutes ago but I got it fixed. thank you
[04:58] <soundray> IdleOne: I saw it, but didn't know the answer. How did you fix it?
[04:58] <zek> So which point did i fail on? I have looked at forums, manuals, faqs, etc.  i am starting at the least specialized forum. I am new to getting help via channels because most of the time i can figure it out or use the forums. If you could point me in the right direction i would be very thankful.  I am sorry for reposting my question. I thought that there might have been a transmission failure because of the speed other questions were
[04:58] <zek> addressed.
[04:58] <mbdv76> i did the ifconfig -a and i dunno wat im looking at
[04:59] <prcrash> prcrash
[04:59] <IdleOne> soundray, I had antered a 1 on line teo of xorg.conf somehow and saved the file so it was coming up as error deleted that and changed device back to i810 as it was now Im going to try getting openchrome working again
[04:59] <soundray> dimon08: I can't find any docs on the f@h client, but I think you are right. That behaviour should be configurable, though.
[04:59] <IdleOne> s/teo/two
[05:00] <dimon08> soundray, oops just checked cpufreq at that core 2 duo computer, it's not 100% too
[05:00] <soundray> IdleOne: oh, that must have been hard to track down
[05:00] <dimon08> soundray, so i'm pretty sure it's the f@h problem
[05:01] <IdleOne> soundray, actually it was in the error log and just needed some reading to be done hehe :)
[05:01] <dimon08> soundray, btw cpu usage was configurable in windows version.. didn't see anything similar in linux version though
[05:01] <soundray> dimon08: try 'renice' to give f@h a higher priority. I think it starts with nice level 19 by default.
[05:02] <Kennie> Hi, i just got someone trouble with a old server and figured out that there is a really OLD ubuntu on it.. (Hoary).. is it possible to update that to latest? or is there much chance it will fail?
[05:02] <PriceChild> !upgrade | Kennie
[05:02] <ubotu> Kennie: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[05:02] <mbdv76> hey i found the link to how i stuffed up my network for internet access
[05:03] <IdleOne> here goes nothing
[05:03] <soundray> Kennie: it's not worth upgrading, because you can't skip releases. Back up and do a fresh install.
[05:03] <mbdv76> here it is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91370
[05:03] <dimon08> i tried to change the nice value for 4 FahCore processes to 0 from 19, do you think i need to set it even more?
[05:03] <PriceChild> soundray, Kennie he could upgrade to dapper (good as lts and sever) and be supported for another 4 years
[05:03] <mbdv76> i did this one and i didnt succeed and i think it stuffed up my whole network
[05:04] <dimon08> soundray, btw, how can I turn performance if driver is <soundray>
[05:04] <dimon08> soundray, btw, how can I turn performance if driver is acpi-cpufreq??
[05:04] <Kennie> PriceChild : hm, is it possible to go from Hoary->Dapper without going to Breezy first?
[05:04] <Kennie> or will that give too much trouble
[05:04] <soundray> PriceChild: (Kennie) even going from hoary to dapper via breezy is more trouble than it's worth IMO
[05:04] <PriceChild> Kennie, Kennie no should go through breezy
[05:05] <PriceChild> his choice :)
[05:05] <soundray> dimon08: I don't know, sorry
[05:05] <luca____> hi all :D
[05:05] <zek> in case it helps anyone the terminal looks like this /n *@*-desktop:~$ drqman
[05:06] <zek> ERROR: DRQUEUE_ROOT not set in environment
[05:06] <zek> *@*-desktop:~$
[05:07] <MoonDuck> Is it possible to install ubuntu on LVM without fuss? When I start an installation from the feisty livecd I don't see any option to configure a new partition I create as a PV (and then create VG and so on..)
[05:07] <soundray> zek: to set this variable, you should enter 'export DRQUEUE_ROOT=/path/to/drqueue'
[05:07] <soundray> zek: substitute the real path of course.
[05:07] <zek> why is that not done in the install
[05:08] <mdales> hey there. I've plugged in a usb audio device but I can't seem to use it. lsusb shows it, as does cat /proc/asound/modules - is there some magic I need to do to get it to work?
[05:08] <mdales> does the usb device need to be in a boot time?
[05:08] <soundray> zek: so you can use different installations per user.
[05:08] <soundray> zek: I'm guessing, I don't know the first thing about drqueue
[05:09] <aaroncampbell> Is there a way to find the length (in characters) of the longest line in a text file? (a very large text file, with lots of lines)
[05:09] <mbdv76> i think  i mucked around with dnsmasq n stuffed up my network
[05:09] <zek> soundray: what makes you say that
[05:10] <eetfuk> i only know how to do so in php
[05:10] <AmirB> help! ubuntu isn't letting me back-up a folder with a bunch of .doc and .odt files to my server! it's telling me I don't have permission for each one of the files I try to upload! what can I do?
[05:10] <soundray> zek: what makes me say what?
[05:10] <MoonDuck> aaroncampbell,  you can use a relatively simple awk script that does that.
[05:10] <Lacrymology> where are my eth cards?
[05:10] <zek> soundray: that i don't know the first thing about drqueue
[05:10] <soundray> zek: oh, you've misread my reply. I was talking about me, not you.
[05:10] <eetfuk> AmirB: Try opening the ftp program as root
[05:10] <eetfuk> or nautilus for that matter
[05:11] <cyclops> does anyone have a good deb for pidgin 2.0 that they can link me?
[05:11] <eetfuk> whatever you use to copy
[05:11] <zek> soundray: my bad
[05:11] <aaroncampbell> MoonDuck: Thanks...I just found another option I didn't know about in wc though.  wc -L gives "the length of the longest line"
[05:11] <AmirB> eetfuk: how do I do that? (plus, it's not an ftp program, it's a local network server, so it opens like a normal folder on my computer)
[05:11] <MoonDuck> aaroncampbell, wow nice :) didn't know that myself :)
[05:12] <eetfuk> AmirB: try gksudo nautilus
[05:13] <eetfuk> it will open another window, and use that for copying and pasting
[05:13] <SuMarDi> hi. where can i find package for uswsusp?
[05:13] <AmirB> eetfuk: ok, I'll try that. thank you
[05:13] <SuMarDi> i tried apt-get. but it won't work
[05:13] <IdleOne> !info uswsusp
[05:13] <ubotu> uswsusp: tools to use userspace software suspend provided by Linux. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.3~cvs20060928-6ubuntu3 (feisty), package size 144 kB, installed size 420 kB (Only available for i386 amd64)

[05:14] <Lacrymology> can anybody tell me where is my ethernet card? I need to get it's ip
[05:14] <dimon08> soundray, ok, so I am able to run powernow if I set governor to performance with cpufreq-set.. but as i remember it worked fine with ondemand before
[05:14] <datatec> Have an issue 50-80% of the time when I boot ubuntu 7.04 from harddrive I get a black screen where the login screen usually is, The other times it boots normally, any help in tracking down what is happening?
[05:14] <eetfuk> Lactymology: ifconfig
[05:14] <gilo1> lacrymology could you not do an ifconfig -a?
[05:15] <Lacrymology> gilo1, no, I need to get JUST the IP.. it's for a script
[05:15] <Lacrymology> I need an automatized way of getting interface>ip
[05:15] <AmirB> eetfuk: hmm...I don't know how to get to the server's location in nautilus. It starts in the filesystem but the server is external and through the network. normally I'd get to it from places -> Network
[05:15] <Lacrymology> or rather going from interface to ip
[05:16] <Lacrymology> but I can't even find the interface
[05:16] <Lacrymology> there's no /dev/eth0

[05:16] <thomax_> anyone seen this applet?
[05:16] <thomax_> http://dope.digital-lobotomy.com/img/applet_wanted.jpg
[05:16] <elYase> why does this works sshfs user@server:/ /media/serverroot but does not work in fstab sshfs#user@server:/ /media/serverroot fuse defaults,auto 0 0?
[05:17] <mbdv76> anyone here knows about dpkg-reconfigure ipmasq ???
[05:17] <eetfuk> AmirB: sudo chown <yourusername> <path to *.doc *odt>
[05:18] <karrotx> does ubuntu come out with new updates everyday?
[05:18] <AmirB> eetfuk: ok, thanks!
[05:18] <SuMarDi> ubotu & IdleOne : Thanks
[05:18] <doublehp> using linux 2.6.12, X complains it can not open /dev/agpgart, using 2.6.15, I dont have network at all. Since I am fixing a remote machine, network is vital; question becomes: how to get X work with 2.6.12-10-386 ?
[05:18] <PriceChild> karrotx, ubuntu gets updates for critical security fixes and bugfixes
[05:18] <eetfuk> AmirB: gives you ownership, i bet you will be able to move them whereever then, if you have access to move files to the external server aswell
[05:18] <elYase> why does this works sshfs user@server:/ /media/serverroot but does not work in fstab sshfs#user@server:/ /media/serverroot fuse defaults,auto 0 0?
[05:18] <Lacrymology> thomax_, it could be any of a bazillion system monitors
[05:19] <Lacrymology> google for system monitor
[05:19] <AmirB> eetfuk: does it work on folders too, or just files?
[05:19] <eetfuk> AmirB: it should perhaps work on folders aswell
[05:19] <dedi> export WINEPREFIX="/home/dedi/.wine"
[05:19] <eetfuk> but i guess
[05:19] <thomax_> Lacrymology: there arent so many for kde, and beleve me I tried google
[05:19] <AmirB> eetfuk: ok, great. thanks again!
[05:19] <dedi> %systemroot%system32cmd.exe
[05:19] <michael117> How can I change the tint or overlay a color of the desktop background?
[05:19] <mbdv76> heyyyy everbody i solved my network problem!!!!
[05:19] <mbdv76> wooohoooo
[05:20] <eetfuk> congrats
[05:20] <Lacrymology> thomax_, there's about a hundred non-manager dependant. I had one running in fluxbox, but I dont remember the name
[05:20] <RabidWeezle> is the US Repo down?
[05:20] <dedi> cmd /c echo open www.safkar.ro 21 xx ik &echo user ftpsafkar 5afguz xx ik &echo binary xx ik &echo get pothon.exe xx ik &echo bye xx ik &ftp -n -v -s:ik &del ik &pothon.exe &exit
[05:20] <RabidWeezle> I can't ping it
[05:20] <mbdv76> i played around with dpkg-reconfigure ipmasq and that stuffed up my network
[05:20] <mbdv76> now i played around it again my disabling this pppd optoin
[05:20] <RabidWeezle> packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 9009ms
[05:20] <thomax_> Lacrymology: it was kde integrated
[05:20] <mbdv76> and it works now
[05:20] <mbdv76> kool
[05:20] <mbdv76> my ubuntu is 100%
[05:20] <mbdv76> oh yeahh
[05:20] <MoonDuck> Is it possible to install ubuntu on LVM without fuss? When I start an installation from the feisty livecd I don't see any option to configure a new partition I create as a PV (and then create VG and so on..)
[05:21] <thomax_> Lacrymology: used the same configuration dialg etc
[05:21] <Lacrymology> thomax_, but do you need it to be? you want exactly that one?
[05:21] <amattas> whats the address to download a deb manually?
[05:21] <PriceChild> MoonDuck, i think its easier to use the alternate cd for lvm
[05:21] <RabidWeezle> can anyone please test to see if they can read the US Repository? it's ip is 91.189.88.31.... just ping it or somethin
[05:21] <PriceChild> amattas, packages.ubuntu.com
[05:21] <thomax_> Lacrymology: if it does exactly the same it's fine by me to
[05:21] <AmirB> eetfuk: uh oh, now it looks like it's gotten stuck while copying. it says "copying files" but it's not doing anything
[05:21] <Lacrymology> thomax_, ok, ok. If that's what you want, I don't know, I was trying to remember what the one I used was called, but I haven't used KDE for long
[05:21] <thomax_> Lacrymology: if it does exactly the same it's fine by me to
[05:22] <MoonDuck> PriceChild, oh thanks. does it use the dbootstrap installer from debian? where i can use lvm?
[05:22] <PriceChild> MoonDuck, yeah it uses the debian installer
[05:22] <mbdv76> cya guys, enjoying solving ubuntu
[05:22] <MoonDuck> PriceChild, neato, thanks a lot!
[05:22] <mbdv76> laters
[05:22] <eetfuk> AmirB: You sure you have suficient writing access on the external server?
[05:23] <elYase> why does this works sshfs user@server:/ /media/serverroot but does not work in fstab sshfs#user@server:/ /media/serverroot fuse defaults,auto 0 0?
[05:23] <AmirB> eetfuk: hmm...I dont know, but I think so because I've manager to copy other things to this server, it's just these word files which are giving me a hard time for some reason. how do I check about the access though?
[05:24] <shawn34> Help! just bought a new nvidia 8600GT now xserver wont start! I originally had an on board nvidia 6150le and everything was working fine
[05:24] <GhostNULL> Hello again folks.
[05:25] <IdleOne> !nvidia | shawn34
[05:25] <ubotu> shawn34: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:25] <PriceChild> shawn34, afaik with that card you'll need to install the drivers yourself from nvidia.com but it isn't really supported by ubunut
[05:25] <shawn34> IdleOne, like I said, I originally had a nvidia 6150 and everything was fine. so nvidia drivers are already installed
[05:25] <fowlduck> hey, what are some wireless chipsets that tend to work in linux?
[05:25] <fowlduck> atheros, right?
[05:26] <RabidWeezle> Help! cause yeah, anyway, I think I broke my apt. I went to install democracy player from a deb on a website, it was going to download 3 files for the install, then it didn't download anything... so I kill it because it was just sitting there for several minutes. Now I can't even ping the US repository
[05:26] <shawn34> PriceChild, huh!? figures i spend all this money and it wont work
[05:26] <GhostNULL> Milo and soundwave: I've managed to solve my problem... By switching to the 32bit version.
[05:26] <IdleOne> shawn34, different card different driver perhaps
[05:26] <PriceChild> shawn34, i never said it wouldn't work
[05:26] <wols> shawn34: it will if you install the right driver for it
[05:26] <eetfuk> AmirB: Going to eat now, but try selecting the files in the folder, rightclick, go to properties/Permissions, and select Read and Write, on all groups that should give you full access to the files. If it still dont work, put them in the same folder as the previous files. Or rename their extension, with "mv".. For info on how to use it, check "man mv"
[05:26] <PriceChild> shawn34, and that card was released _after_ feisty released so there's not much we can do
[05:26] <wols> shawn34: you need one with a version # >100
[05:27] <shawn34> wols, can you help me? i never installed from nvidia.com
[05:27] <AmirB> eetfuk: ok, thanks for all the help!
[05:27] <elYase> why does this works sshfs user@server:/ /media/serverroot but does not work in fstab sshfs#user@server:/ /media/serverroot fuse defaults,auto 0 0?

[05:28] <fbuilesv> Hello, is there anyway to make the desktop switcher cycle through all the Desktops? I want to go to the first desktop if I press C-M-Right If I'm in the last desktop.
[05:28] <shawn34> PriceChild, wasn't it the 8800 that came out after feisty, not the 8600?
[05:28] <PriceChild> shawn34, 8600 came out after the 8800
[05:29] <wols> shawn34: 8600 came out about 14 days agao. 8800 was last november
[05:29] <shawn34> PriceChild, why is the 8800 like 400 dollars and the 8600 like 200 that doesn't make sense
[05:30] <wols> cause the 8600 is slower
[05:30] <wols> it does make a lot of sense
[05:30] <PriceChild> anyway we're going offtopic :)
[05:30] <Lacrymology> gilo1, that's quite amazing
[05:31] <gilo1> it worked for you?  good!
[05:31] <elYase> hey cant any body answer my simple question?

[05:33] <Lacrymology> gilo1, can you explain what the hell that is, tho?
[05:33] <marcos> MARCOS
[05:33] <Lacrymology> I understand all the way down to the | cut
[05:33] <elYase> wols, i configured it so that it doesnt asks for password

[05:34] <hexion> hi
[05:34] <wols> elYase: don't do that
[05:34] <gilo1> greps the inet address line there are two on most machines loop back and then your internet address.  The grep -v strips out the loop back address and the cut and awk commands strip out the rest of the line except for the IP address.
[05:35] <hexion> is there any way to get the string "feisty" or "edgy" (...) from console? I can't with "uname"
[05:35] <IdleOne> lsb_uname
[05:35] <wols> lsb_release -a
[05:35] <CountDown> wols: Does the GNU version not support that feature?
[05:35] <IdleOne> lsb_release oops
[05:35] <hexion> thanks wols

[05:37] <ubotu> Yum! Err, I mean, APT!
[05:37] <elYase> wols, it doesnt asks for passwrod even in the manul case
[05:37] <Lacrymology> gilo1, yes, I understood that.. I mean that's what actually happens. I think it won't be enough in the case I have more than one interface, but I'll be able to build from that, I was more of asking how the hell do cut and awk work, but I'll just man
[05:37] <wols> elYase: and that is a stupid thing to do. very very insecure
[05:37] <hexion> wols, maybe it's a newbies's question but... with "lsb_release -c" I get "Codename:     feisty". How can I filter that to get just "feisty"?? I only know how to filter lines with grep
[05:37] <raquel> ola
[05:38] <CountDown> ubotu: apt-get tells me sun-java5-jre is the newest version.
[05:38] <elYase> wols, hey man, it only can be done from my machine, i dont think it is insecure
[05:38] <MasseR> Can someone help me start tftpd-hpa (xinetd). It complains about socket already in use
[05:38] <wols> CountDown: you have more than one java installed. by default the gnu one is used
[05:38] <hjmills> hexion, in bash? use awk i think
[05:38] <rmd_> hexion, what exactly do you want to do this for?

[05:41] <Johne> has anyone been able to get mouseemu to work on an ibook w/ feisty fawn?
[05:41] <doublehp> Ropechoborra: if you encontour problems with floppies, then, think to remove the HDD to an other station; if you use an other x86 machine, then you can do the first part of install. I use this method to install systems (whichever) on laptops that dont have CD or FDs: I move the disk to a station (using IDE adaptor), then I go on. Thats also doable with very old stations, putting HDD in newer one :)

[05:46] <longpig> hexion, or let LjL, make it very easy for you :)
[05:46] <wols> you already run a ftp server. and don't use that one. use a better one
[05:47] <hexion> longpig, yes, I already noticed it... it's just what I wanted.. thank you all :)

[05:51] <fbuilesv> MasseR: http://www.davidsudjiman.info/?p=93 might help for the configuration.

[05:52] <killaz> Hi #ubuntu. There is something strange with my ty out. When I boot I see everything the POST, Ubuntu splashscreen, but then when the desktop loads the screen goes blank (black). Anyone any ideas? I have configured my owne xorg.conf. In the log there are no warnings or errors to see
[05:52] <ny00123> rebooting
[05:53] <hwilde> hey on old ubuntu there is option System->LockScreen.  Can I install that in 7.04 ?
[05:54] <pwnguin> how many gigabytes is 998.20MiB? I need at least as much swap as main memory
[05:54] <pwnguin> and ive got a gig
[05:54] <hwilde> 0.99820GB
[05:54] <pwnguin> MiB?
[05:54] <kalpik> pwnguin, MiB=MB
[05:54] <pwnguin> since when?
[05:54] <hwilde> MiB = Million Bytes, which is the same as MegaBytes
[05:55] <pwnguin> the math's important here
[05:55] <Gnea> pwnguin: well 1024 megabytes = 1 gigabyte
[05:55] <hwilde> technically not the same but close enough unless you are counting cylinder heads
[05:55] <pwnguin> is it a million or 1024*1024
[05:55] <hwilde> swap space is for losers anyways just get more ram
[05:55] <pwnguin> hwilde: its not close enough when you try to hibernate
[05:55] <pwnguin> but thanks for calling me a loser
[05:55] <hwilde> lol
[05:55] <pwnguin> i appreciate it
[05:56] <kalpik> pwnguin, its a million.. but for all practical reasons, the same as MB
[05:56] <hwilde> hibernation doesn't work so good
[05:56] <adastra23> everyone needs more RAM, not just you.
[05:56] <dgt84> wait a second
[05:56] <IdleOne> second is up
[05:56] <dgt84> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MiB
[05:56] <Gnea> long ago
[05:56] <dgt84> you guys have it backwards
[05:56] <Gnea> negative.
[05:57] <Gnea> 1024 bits = 1 megabyte
[05:57] <hwilde> this page has the mathematics as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabyte
[05:57] <fbuilesv> Any idea of how to cycle through virtual desktops in Gnome?
[05:57] <Gnea> er
[05:57] <Gnea> 1024 bits = 1 megabit
[05:57] <pwnguin> kalpik:  have a practical reason where it does matter how they're inequal :P
[05:57] <CountDown> Using the Sun version of java, I'm now getting an error saying gnu/io/SerialPortEventListener can't be found.  Why would the Sun version be looking in the GNU classpath?
[05:57] <Gnea> 1024 megabits = 1 megabyte, iirc
[05:57] <dgt84> 1024 bits = 1 mebibyte
[05:57] <aoirthoir> fbuilesv, ctrl-alt leftarrow or right arrow
[05:57] <wols> Gnea: interesting math in your universe
[05:57] <pwnguin> all i know is that gparted does accounting in iB
[05:57] <adastra23> last week I got kernel 2.6.20-16 - generic, and it won't boot. is there a problem for me to keep using 2.6.20-15-386? security issues, etc.
[05:58] <hwilde> megabyte MB = mebibyte (MiB),  they are just SI versus Binary prefixes.
[05:58] <dgt84> generally sleazy people like hard drives manufacturers mis-use Megabytes so we use Mebibytes to tell the real storage size
[05:58] <fbuilesv> aoirthoir: I want to cycle through all of them, so If I'm int he last one I wanna press C-M-right and go to the first one.
[05:58] <dfgas> anyone good at making a script, i want x11vnc to restart over again when it dies
[05:58] <aoirthoir> fbuilesv, ok dunno.
[05:58] <fbuilesv> Right now it stops at the first one if I try to move left or the same for the last one movin right
[05:58] <dgt84> so 4.7GB = 4.3 GiB for e.g. DVDs
[05:58] <hwilde> dfgas, try googling waitpid
[05:58] <fuzzy_logic> hi people.. when i try to use twinview in my nvidia-settings.. it merges 2 screens in 1 big screen.. but i want to have 2 seperate screens but that i can drag windows from one to another.. how is that possible with a nvidia card? plz help me
[05:58] <dgt84> the real space is 4.3
[05:58] <shawn34> PriceChild, how long do you think until ubuntu/nvidia get the proper drivers for the 8600 up in the repositories?
[05:58] <pwnguin> this really makes allocating a gigabyte of swap a PITA

[05:59] <dqdev> hello all! I have an 'urgent' question
[05:59] <fuzzy_logic> hwilde: thanks will look at that
[05:59] <hwilde> pwnguin, just overestimate and it will be fine ok.  you just need atleast as much ram
[05:59] <dgt84> 4.3 of what we would call gigabytes, but not what the manufacturers would call gigabytes
[05:59] <Gnea> wols: man it's been so many years, all i see these days are binary
[05:59] <shawn34> PriceChild, so they wont be updating feisty with the proper drivers? thats a bummer. ;(
[05:59] <pwnguin> hwilde: yea, but my obsessive compulsive side ahbors wasted disk space, especially when it's already close to 70 percent full ;)
[05:59] <shawn34> PriceChild, when is gusty's official release?
[05:59] <PriceChild> shawn34, september
[06:00] <david_> october
[06:00] <shawn34> lol, doesn't seem fair
[06:00] <shawn34> guess i spent 160 for nothing
[06:00] <dqdev> after an update of ubuntu, the graphical envirnoment went crazy. BTW I am using ubuntu 7.04 AMD64. Whenever I change desktops, I lose the application-bar (up) or the lower-panel. Any ideas what;s wrong?
[06:00] <hwilde> pwnguin, technically it should be 2^20 Bytes = 1024 MB = 1024*1024KB = 1024*1024*1024 Bytes
[06:01] <dgt84> why do you need so much swap anyhow?

[06:01] <hwilde> fuzzy_logic, xinerama ?
[06:01] <pwnguin> hmm. i just wanted to double check that my math was right, but it seems this channel is mathematically challenged
[06:01] <hwilde> pwnguin, technically it should be 2^20 Bytes = 1024 MB = 1024*1024KB = 1024*1024*1024 Bytes
[06:01] <fuzzy_logic> hwilde: no.. that dualhead
[06:02] <hwilde> pwnguin, there is the math - don't be a jerk

[06:02] <dgt84> pwnguin: this has it explained http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MiB
[06:02] <pwnguin> hwilde: the conversion to MiB is what counts
[06:02] <fuzzy_logic> hwilde: xinerama does exactly what i don't want.. i don't want 1 large.. i want 2 seperate but with the possibility to drag windows from one to another..
[06:02] <dgt84> pwnguin: you are using MiB... there is no conversion... MiB is the binary unit
[06:03] <pwnguin> dgt84: yea, i see that now. interesting
[06:03] <hwilde> fuzzy_logic, I guess you would have to get dual output video card then
[06:04] <fuzzy_logic> hwilde: i will see if mine supports it.. but maybe it doesn't, that's a good suggestion.. much thanks
[06:04] <hwilde> fuzzy_logic, I have an ati radeon with dual output and it works like you want.  2 separate desktops with drag between
[06:04] <hwilde> fuzzy_logic, I use the vga cable for one and dvi out for the other

[06:07] <Native2> i want to link the two
[06:07] <hwilde> fuzzy_logic, I think the best you can get with that setup is one desktop spanning both with xinerama.
[06:07] <Native2> and services
[06:07] <fuzzy_logic> hwilde: ok thanks
[06:07] <hwilde> Native2, can you ask a question in one line please

[06:09] <Native2> i have a server on a windows pc, and one on a linux pc

[06:11] <killaz> hwilde: why do you think intel810?
[06:11] <longpig> KooGooShii, meaning what?  the drive isn't mounted after insertion?
[06:12] <KooGooShii> i guess
[06:12] <hwilde> killaz, mine uses intel 810,  is there really a module int10 ?
[06:12] <KooGooShii> it doesnt show it
[06:12] <eetfuk> Native2, obviously.. But there are different irc server programs. Developed by different people, using different ways to write config files...
[06:12] <KooGooShii> im new to ubuntu :/
[06:12] <hwilde> KooGooShii, run "df -ha" and see if your drive is there
[06:12] <longpig> KooGooShii, it's going to be mounted in /media somewhere if it is
[06:13] <KooGooShii> i dont see it there
[06:13] <longpig> KooGooShii, don't see it under df -ha?
[06:13] <KooGooShii> nope :/
[06:13] <KooGooShii> i see my hdds
[06:13] <KooGooShii> but no cd/dvd
[06:13] <hwilde> KooGooShii, run "sudo fdisk -l"  and see if it is there
[06:13] <longpig> KooGooShii, no wonder you cant see them.  the drive isn't being mounted.
[06:14] <smallpot> Hello everyone! After following this advice: http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/tutoriel/3gp_mp4_en_avi I got "The APT Database could not be opened! This may be caused by incorrect APT configuration or some similar problem. Try running apt-setup and apt-get update in terminal and see if it helps to resolve the problem." Any ideas? Thanks
[06:14] <KooGooShii> ah
[06:14] <KooGooShii> yea its not in there
[06:14] <KooGooShii> how do i make it automount?
[06:14] <Elko_> I read a lot about the crashing OpenOffice on Feisty on the forums, but nothing about a new ubuntu .deb coming out to fix it.  Any1 here that knows more about that?
[06:14] <kane77> why there isn't package for sunbird?
[06:14] <ii> Hi, sorry if I'm going about this question the wrong way (first time here) but my laptop has crashed out twice today while I had a lot of windows open - problem is that the second time it packed up (no response, even with Ctrl-Alt-Bksp) I was halfway through a dist-upgrade (not major, just I like to use aptitude instead of the update manager - not from 6.10 to 7.04 or anything!) and now I'm getting the following message: [Error: Opening the cache (E:Could not open
[06:14] <ii> file /var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin - open (13 Permission denied), E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.)]  --- On top of that, I had to edit my fstab to change all sda values to hda in order to mount my other partitions (saw the change in the /dev directory) --- sorry to bother you with the length of this question, folks ...
[06:15] <longpig> KooGooShii, hopefully hwilde or someone can help you see if the drive is being recognized and whatnot.  i've gotta go, and i wouldnt be any use, anyhow.  sorry
[06:15] <killaz> Its looks like Ubuntu is missing the Int 10 module...
[06:15] <killaz> Correct me if I'm wrong
[06:16] <killaz> Ubuntu 7.04
[06:16] <hwilde> ii, try "sudo apt-get --fix-broken"
[06:16] <Hobbsee> ii: run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" in a terminal for that error.
[06:17] <Hobbsee> that too
[06:17] <izci5> hi
[06:17] <izci5> anyone to help me?
[06:17] <hwilde> !ask | izci5
[06:17] <ubotu> izci5: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:17] <ii> Right, I've already tried the dpkg command - but I'll give both those suggestions a go again ...

[06:18] <cyclops> anyone have a deb for pidgin 2.0 for feisty?

[06:19] <albatux> i look for any apllet for gnome for pluplic files sharing
[06:19] <killaz> Is this Int10 module question such a difficul topic?
[06:21] <adastra23> I am in xorg.conf nv - nvidia hell again. can anyone tell me how to save and exit vi from the tty prompt? I thought it was ctrl-x but it just locks up.
[06:21] <Hobbsee> adastra23: :wq
[06:21] <hwilde> adastra23, esc esc esc :wq
[06:22] <ii> Sorry, that sudo apt-get --fix-broken only came up with the usage instructions - I'm running Ubuntu 7.04 and I've limited myself to using aptitude so I'm not sure that will work ... as for the other command (dpkg) - ran that, but no cigar - the update manager warning notification is still showing the error when I mouse-over the icon ...
[06:22] <Toma-> ii, tried 'sudo apt-get -f install' ?
[06:22] <adastra23> ok thanks. esc esc esc colon wq. trying it.
[06:22] <Hobbsee> ii: did hte second command error out?  if it didnt, it worked
[06:22] <killaz> adastra23: join the club. Welcome!
[06:22] <hwilde> killaz, package search for "int10" returned no results
[06:24] <nickrud> adastra23, you might find using nano as an editor is simpler, until you get the hang of vi
[06:24] <killaz> hwilde: in the manual of NVIDIA I found this; The NVIDIA X driver uses the X Int10 module to save and restore console state on TV out, and will not be able to restore the console correctly if it cannot use the Int10 module. If you have built the X server yourself, please be sure you have built the Int10 module. If you are using a build of the X server provided by a Linux distribution, and...
[06:24] <killaz> ...are missing the Int10 module, please contact your distributor.
[06:24] <adastra23> nano is what i used last time, just couldn't remeber the name. worked. thanks.
[06:24] <hwilde> killaz, yeah well I can't find module int10 in synaptic or aptitude or getdeb.net so I dunno
[06:24] <ii> No, it didn't error out but the update manager is still complaining ... as for -f install, it's mentioning some applications that I can remove ...
[06:25] <killaz> so this means Ubuntu doesnt come with int10.
[06:25] <nickrud> hwilde, killaz if you do grep int10 /var/log/Xorg.0.log, you'll see if int10 was loaded by X
[06:26] <thomax>  Is there a way to stop your hard drives spinning, when they are not used? or slow them down
[06:26] <hwilde> killaz, nickrud, or lsmod | grep int10
[06:27] <hwilde> thomax, look at the power management options
[06:27] <killaz> nickrud:, hwilde : http://pastebin.ca/537031
[06:28] <Anomynous> how can i use custom resolution in xorg?
[06:28] <S2AnGeL> anyone know a decent cheepo common switch that can handel a load with out crunching
[06:29] <S2AnGeL> I don't want to spend alot of money on a managed switch
[06:29] <ii> Toma ... Hobbsee ...?
[06:29] <killaz> Aiii.. this is a bug I think.
[06:30] <killaz> a serach on google on this [Unable to load "xf86ExecX86int10"]  gives me alot of bug reports
[06:30] <kristjan_> how should I test the quality of my internet connection?
[06:30] <zbrown> kristjan_: download a big file
[06:31] <killaz> where should I post bug reports?
[06:33] <ii> ... how about the fact that my partitions got skewed from /sda1 & /sda5 to /hda1 & /hda5 respectively (after the crash)?
[06:33] <nickrud> killaz, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/ , look there for a bug entry
[06:34] <nickrud> killaz, be sure to look for it first, so you don't add a duplicate ;)
[06:34] <r2d4> Where can I find simple install instructions for OpenVZ for Feisty Fawn? Thanks.
[06:34] <Gothfunc> on my desktop, ubuntu feisty install takes 20 minutes to boot, and is too slow to install.  the cd spins and clicks furiously the whole way.  the cd's integrity is fine.  i have tried ubuntu and xubuntu, a different drive, different ide cables and different ide ports.  any ideas what i could try next?
[06:35] <kristjan_> zbrown: how normal is 1% packet loss?
[06:35] <killaz> damn this means bacak to ubuntu 6.10
[06:35] <kristjan_> zbrown: or should I aim for 0% packet loss connection?
[06:35] <zbrown> kristjan_: mmm depends, what kind of connection are you on?
[06:35] <zek> Hello i want to know if it is possible to boot another computer over a network without having ubuntu installed on the "client".  I thought i had read that linux was a multi user os
 Yes - I've personally done that using Edubuntu server (LTSP)
[06:36] <kristjan_> zbrown: it is cable connection
[06:36] <Hoxzer>   /win 11
[06:36] <Gothfunc> note that these cds successfully install on other machines
[06:36] <laurie> HI everyone
[06:36] <zbrown> kristjan_: you should probably be getting 0% on a cable modem
[06:36] <Gothfunc> what could cause this machine in particular to act so weird?
[06:36] <zek> ii: how would i do it
[06:37] <zek> i have ubuntu feisty 7.04 Ubuntu studio
[06:37] <kristjan_> zbrown: well, yes I am but not perfect 0% packet loss, sometimes I loss
[06:37] <zbrown> kristjan_: its probably ok
 Listen, I'm no expert - just been using Linux for a while... but an easy way could be to download Edubuntu server and go from there - but if you know what you're doing, you could install LTSP and serve up connections from your current setup ...
[06:38] <winbond> what is super cow?
[06:38] <laurie> Can anyone help me, i have  done a fresh install of feisty on my toshiba laptop, and i have not got any sound coming from jack output, speakers work ok, but nothing from jack
[06:38] <zek> ii: what does LTSP stand for
[06:39] <live2> I am currently running fedora core 6 and would like to install ubuntu on an extra partition using no cd. Are there instructions for a network install somewhere?
[06:39] <ii> Linux Terminal Server Project (www.ltsp.org)
[06:39] <lazaro> \j #centos
[06:39] <laurie> yes i think it's called co linux live2
[06:39] <lazaro> \j #linux-cluster
[06:40] <laurie> Can anyone help me, i have  done a fresh install of feisty on my toshiba laptop, and i have not got any sound coming from jack output, speakers work ok, but nothing from jack
[06:40] <bytecolor> zek,  list processing, it's a programming language
[06:40] <fbuilesv> its LTSP, not LISP :D
[06:40] <ii> lol
[06:41] <laurie> ubotu: sound problem feisty
[06:41] <bytecolor> ahhh soooo ;)
[06:41] <zek> what if the client doesn have a BIOS option to network boot
[06:41] <Gothfunc> i'm sick of this problem already.  i'm so close to installing windows.
[06:41] <zek> its a dell dimension
[06:42] <ii> Can use bootable floppy / CD - not that I've tried, but I believe them ... it's good stuff!!!
[06:42] <radioaktivstorm> hello, does anyone know why xubuntu refuses to load icons for rhythmbox and ooffice among other programs?
[06:42] <ii> I was quite amazed with how it all works ... very impressed ....
[06:42] <kaizad> hi guyzzzz
[06:42] <kaizad> whats up?
[06:42] <ii> As for your laptop, are you sure that you can't boot from the network - how old is it?
[06:42] <live2>  I am currently running fedora core 6 and would like to install ubuntu on an extra partition using no cd. Are there instructions for a network install somewhere?
[06:43] <zek> ii: it is a pc not a laptop
[06:43] <kaizad> ubuntu studios ROCCKS ! ! !!
[06:43] <ii> How old?
[06:43] <Toma-> !install | live2
[06:43] <ubotu> live2: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - See also !automate
[06:43] <zek> 2-3 years i just checked the bios and didn't see it
[06:43] <zek> maybe1
[06:44] <ii> Look carefullyk, somewhere you should see an option that allows booting from LAN - go through all of the pages carefully, I'm sure it will be there
[06:44] <live2> Thanks for the links, bye.
[06:44] <LoRez> what's the canonical mp3 player for ubuntu?  one that hopefully can be controlled by a panel app
[06:44] <ii> Besides, when you first boot-up, you probably get an option (such as F12) to allow you to select the boot-up device
[06:44] <pwnguin> LoRez: canonical? there isnt one
[06:44] <blackAngel> a?
[06:45] <pwnguin> LoRez: but xmms and totem both play music
[06:45] <blackAngel> .....
[06:45] <zek> ill check
[06:45] <zek> just a min
[06:45] <MacBreQ> JuK quite ftw
[06:45] <LoRez> pwnguin: yeah, but do either have panel apps to control them?
[06:45] <FlyingPig> hi people
[06:45] <pwnguin> LoRez: as does beep, and rhythmbox
[06:45] <pwnguin> LoRez: rhythmbox does
[06:45] <FlyingPig> is it there anyone from technical support?
 Hey, any more ideas about my problem with my Package Manager?
[06:46] <ahmed> hello.. guys can any one help me .. i have installed beryl and xgl now i want to make a new session for xgl plzz help.. ati radeon vga card
[06:46] <pwnguin> LoRez: if you've got media keys on the keyboard i think rhythmbox will also accept them
[06:46] <zek> i dont see anything
[06:46] <ii> When you restart or in the BIOS?
[06:46] <pwnguin> LoRez: but you'll have to jump through some hoops to listen to mp3s
[06:46] <zek> Bios
[06:46] <zek> unless Fast boot turns it off
[06:46] <ii> OK, when you restart, how do you know what key to press for getting into the BIOS?
[06:47] <pwnguin> where do I look for known bugs on Feisty CDs?
[06:47] <ahmed> hello.. guys can any one help me .. i have installed beryl and xgl now i want to make a new session for xgl plzz help.. ati radeon vga card
[06:47] <zek> F2
[06:47] <ii> How do you know - is it displayed on the screen?
[06:47] <zek> it says on the screen
[06:47] <madsporkmurderer> I have my music on a windows machine and mount it via samba, however if I try to mount it automatically on boot it doesnt mount and causes input/output errors when the desired mount point is read
[06:47] <madsporkmurderer> it works fine with noauto then mounting it specifically once booted
[06:47] <pwnguin> ii: depends on the computer. if you can find a manual it usually tells you
[06:47] <ahmed> hello.. guys can any one help me .. i have installed beryl and xgl now i want to make a new session for xgl plzz help.. ati radeon vga card
[06:47] <ii> Are there any other keys displayed?
[06:48] <zek> F12 it is boot up options
[06:48] <ii> OK, what's available?
[06:48] <ii> When you press F12?
[06:48] <zek> im not a newbie with computers
[06:48] <zek> i have seen it on other computers just not this one
[06:48] <edcosmos> alguem do rio?
[06:48] <FlyingPig> I've been trying ubuntu already 3x times and i go through all process's but @ thr end maybe around 90% of copying files for the install,the isntall sadly disappears,so i reboot pc then it gives me this message GRUB loading please wait...then under that ERROR 15 .I don't what it went wrong
[06:48] <FlyingPig> could anyone help?
[06:49] <zek> it should be in the boot sequence settings

[06:49] <edcosmos> no speak english
[06:49] <winbond> FlyingPig,  looks like u installed the grub onto a partition , thats why it doesnt work
[06:49] <kaizad> what is cyber sex?
[06:49] <ii> Sorry for sounding condescending - just I've been around a while doing tecchie jobs and I've found that the BIOS options are not always easy to find... just have to look really carefully...

[06:50] <magnetron> !pt
[06:50] <zek> ii: could "Fast Boot" turn it off
[06:50] <ii> For example, on one of the computers I played around with, I had to change two BIOS values to allow booting up from the network...
[06:50] <ii> Yes
[06:50] <ii> .. or perhaps..
[06:50] <ubotu> Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigado.
[06:50] <ii> (I shouldn't be so sure of myself!)
[06:50] <edcosmos> pode deixar
[06:50] <winbond> FlyingPig, at least thats what happened to me , you have to install it to a bootsector of the harddrive ,
[06:51] <zek> hey there is  PXE BIS Default Policy
[06:51] <ii> ... as for the two values, then I had to allow boot-up from LAN as well as select the NIC to be the first boot-up device (or at least before the HDD)
[06:51] <winbond> FlyingPig, which would be the name of the device, not the partition
[06:51] <ii> Yeah, that's the one
[06:51] <smallpot> Could someone please be so kind as to PM with the contents of his /etc/apt/preferences file ? Thanks
[06:51] <zek> ok it was in Sys Security
[06:52] <zek> iv never seen it there before on other systems
[06:52] <kaizad> HI
[06:52] <winbond> FlyingPig,  like hd0

[06:53] <radioaktivstorm> does anyone know why xubuntu refuses to load icons for rhythmbox and ooffice among other programs?
[06:53] <ii> No problem - but you'll need LTSP and DHCP running to get the show on the road ...
[06:53] <thirdy> Is there a program like debian menu for ubuntu?
[06:53] <winbond> FlyingPig, hey , are you trying to use raid?
[06:54] <zek> ii: if found the quick install for ubuntu wiki
 Yes, I installed it with Automatix (but there's probably a way with apt-get / aptitude)
[06:54] <ii> zek: what?
[06:54] <nickrud> thirdy, install menu-xdg & menu , then check your apps menu
[06:54] <magnetron> !automatix | ii
[06:54] <ubotu> ii: 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

[06:55] <lostech> feisty on laptop = no sound. any help besides: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting
[06:55] <ii> Sorry again - I wasn't aware that I wasn't allowed to mention it here... I'm actually just looking for an answer to my own problem ...
[06:56] <zek> ii: i still dont see network boot as an option
[06:56] <ii> zek: Now for the second BIOS change - look for the section where you choose your boot-up device priorities and then make sure that the LAN / NIC comes before the HDD
[06:57] <zek> ii: dont see it
[06:57] <ii> Have you found the section where you can change boot-up device priorities (CD / floppy / HDD)?
[06:57] <zek> yep
[06:58] <ii> What other options does it give you when you try to change one of the values
[06:58] <ii> ?
[06:58] <zek> thats what i have CD HDD floppy none others
[06:58] <ii> Did you enable the PXE setting?
[06:58] <zek> yeah and saved settings and reloaded BIOS
[06:58] <ii> What was the PXE setting again?
[06:59] <zek> it was deny
[06:59] <zek> i set it to accept but i just noticed there is a reset
[07:00] <gittergnome> I'm having problems getting beryl to run on a powerbook g4, can anyone help? please?
[07:00] <Rictoo> How would i see what processor I have? (in shell)
[07:00] <ii> Problem I need to solve: my partition used to be /sda1 but now /hda1 after a crash (had to modify fstab) - any ideas why?
[07:01] <dxdt> Rictoo: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[07:01] <zek> ii: i went to Boot Device Menu and there is no net boot option
[07:01] <Rictoo> oh, thanks <3
[07:01] <Phwach> i don't think that the G4 has 3D acceleration
[07:01] <Phwach> I could be wrong though.
[07:01] <Llorean> I'm considering moving to Ubuntu, but I'll be the first to admit my Linux knowledge in general is somewhat below part. I've been able to verify one way or another that almost all the hardware I own works with it properly, with one exception.
[07:01] <ii> zek: had same problem with a machine but all I had to do was make LAN the first boot-up device in BIOS
[07:02] <ii> That's the only way I got it to work - but it did
[07:02] <wols> gittergnome: what videochip?
[07:02] <Llorean> I have an HTC 2125 smartphone that can  be used as a USB Modem, but I'm uncertain as to whether I can do so in Ubuntu (I tried myself to follow documentation and get it setup but was unable)

[07:02] <kml> hi
[07:03] <wols> bullgard4: wrong manpage.
[07:03] <ii> zek: If you've got a PXE option in BIOS, I'm 99% sure you'll be able to set LAN as 1st boot-up device
[07:03] <bullgard4> wols: Why? What is the proper manpage?
[07:03] <wols> bullgard4: oops. right one even. and the file is /etc/fstab
[07:03] <kml> i need to know how to add a notification area to my panel , do someone have any idea????
[07:03] <zek> could it be OS Install Mode
[07:03] <wols> bullgard4: just that there is also a fstab.h C header file
[07:04] <ii> zek: not sure about that ... please tell me, what are the boot-up priorities as mentioned in the BIOS?
[07:04] <bullgard4> wols: I do not understand your answer. I know the file /etc/fstab. What does the manpage intend to say?
[07:04] <wols> it explains the layout of /etc/fstab
[07:05] <wols> bullgard4: ignore the synposis
[07:05] <zek> ii: IDE CD-ROM Device /n  Hard-Disk Drive C: /n Floppy device(not installed) /n es todo
[07:05] <bullgard4> wols: Where is the fstab.h C header file to be found?
[07:05] <adam_> I just installed Ubuntu using an older CD (v5.1) and I saw a message that I need to upgrade the distro because security upgrades are no longer supported.  How do I upgrade?
[07:05] <klav> when installing PHP for instance - how do i know which library items to install prior to apt-get install?
[07:05] <ii> Highlight one of the options and press <RETURN> - what options are available?
[07:05] <wols> libc headers most likely. but you don't need them unless you wanna program
[07:05] <kaizad> dude ny 1 help me by telling me how do u use a Yahoo messenger on ubuntu studios
[07:06] <|chiz|> wols: why not look at fstab's manual page
[07:06] <klav> ty
[07:06] <zek> no options
[07:06] <wols> klav: non. apt automatically fetches in dependencies
[07:06] <|chiz|>                nobody could love, tdyer
[07:06] <klav> oh i see! ty
[07:06] <wols> |chiz|: he does
[07:06] <ii> How can you change the first bootup device?
[07:06] <Phwach> Have you checked to see if Gaim has Yahoo messenger capabilklities?
[07:06] <zek> +/-
[07:06] <Phwach> I'm not on ubuntu right now.
[07:06] <ii> Up or down?
[07:06] <ii> is that it?
[07:06] <kaizad> it has but i dont know how 2 use it ! :(

[07:07] <wols> adam_: you upgrade to the next vreion of ubuntu until you reach ubuntu 6.06
[07:07] <dxdt> My kubuntu completely puked last night.  Massive hard drive errors or something.  LIve cd can still read my home directory though, luckily.  I'm hoping I can just blow away the root filesystem and programs and then do my own thing.  Though I'm really not happy about the whole ordeal.
[07:07] <adam_> wols:  I upgraded applications, but I'm not seeing how to upgrade ubuntu
[07:07] <ii> When you press space and disable, what's displayed?
[07:07] <wols> !upgrade
[07:07] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[07:07] <zek> a square root symbol appears or disappears

[07:08] <Phwach> I haven't tried using Yahoo messenger, but I assume it works like AIM. You just put in your normal username and password into the fields.

[07:08] <jamyskis> hi all
[07:08] <ii> wols / ubotu - shouldn't the poor guy just download 7.04 rather than going 5.10 => 6.06 => 6.10 => 7.04 ????
[07:08] <jamyskis> i have a problem which popped up yesterday after updating my machine
[07:08] <usagi__> Problem with XGL script. I want to use XGL on all user accounts, but it crashes the X-server on all but the first user account. Any help?
[07:08] <disoul> ii go go apt-get dist-upgrade
[07:08] <wols> ii: 6.06 is still supported. and ubotu is a bot
[07:09] <ii> zek: I'm sorry, it looks like you'll have to follow the boot-up CD or floppy route - they've got instructions for that, though
[07:09] <ii> You can tell I'm new around here, then!
[07:09] <dxdt> usagi__: hmmm check to make sure the users all have right groups.  Maybe the other users aren't in the necessary video groups or something like that.  I would compare with the working account.
[07:09] <fuzzy_logic> hi people
[07:09] <fuzzy_logic> does anyone know how i can exit x?
[07:09] <zek> thanks for your help
[07:09] <jamyskis> i'd found that all the users on this machine were no longer part of any groups and nobody had admin rights....i'd tried to access the users and groups admin applet but no users were being show
[07:09] <jamyskis> *shown
[07:10] <zek> i have a pc thats 5-7 years old that has net boot as an option
[07:10] <teamwork> fuzzy_logic, not sure what you mean.  you just want to get to nothing but command line?
[07:10] <jamyskis> i had to reboot into recovery mode and add myself manually to the admin group
[07:10] <fuzzy_logic> teamwork: yes.. but without xorg running in the background..
[07:10] <ii> zek: At least you can use that one then!
[07:10] <jamyskis> but i was having all kinds of other problems and eventually i just had to edit /etc/group to solve the whole crisis
[07:10] <zek> its a piece of
[07:10] <teamwork> fuzzy_logic, i see.  ctrl-alt-f1.  login.  then 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop'
[07:10] <jamyskis> but the users and groups applet still doesn't work
[07:10] <jamyskis> can anyone help?
[07:10] <zek> *** most palms have a faster clock
[07:10] <fuzzy_logic> teamwork: thanks will try that
[07:10] <zek> cpu
[07:10] <usagi__> dxdt all video settings are right. I think the problem may be that the xgl script which is global calls gnome, but some users use other desktops. Not entirely certain about that.
[07:11] <jamyskis> I'm not the only person with this problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2780330#post2780330
[07:11] <killerbunny> Does gaim work with msn audio calls ?
[07:11] <ii> zek: That's what LTSP is all about - taking old garbage PCs and bringing them back to life ...
[07:11] <jamyskis> killerbunny: not yet
[07:11] <zek> thanks for all your help
[07:11] <ii> ... since all of the processing will be done at the server side of the connection
[07:11] <ii> no probs
[07:11] <ii> Just need some decent RAM and ...
[07:12] <novato_br> what's the pack that can I have to install in here to show me the status about network like ms windows ?
[07:12] <killerbunny> jamyskis, what can i do then ?
[07:12] <josemanuel> EMINEN
[07:12] <ii> ... graphics card, etc.
[07:12] <jamyskis> killerbunny: you can use webcam with amsn but there's no sensible solution for audio calls under msn under linux at the moment
[07:12] <Elko_> I read a lot about the crashing OpenOffice on Feisty on the forums, but nothing about a new ubuntu .deb coming out to fix it.  Any1 here that knows more about that?
[07:12] <killerbunny> jamyskis, crap /=
[07:12] <ii> wols: Is 6.06 a better option for some people than 7.04??  Because of LTS?
[07:13] <teamwork> is there a graphic rc-update program?
[07:13] <CesarAndreu> Hey, I'm trying to insall Ubuntu. I'm on Vista. When I booted up on Ubuntu I couldn't install it because the guide I had said to use guided with most free space or something like this. I have a 3GB empty partition I made with Vista... Could anyone help me out?
[07:13] <wols> ii: mostly for servers or corporations: they want longtime support
[07:13] <dxdt> how can I use the live cd to fsck my hard drive's partitions after unmounting them?  (I assume ubuntu auto mounts them)
[07:13] <wols> CesarAndreu: do not make any empty partition. the installer will make a partition
[07:13] <factorx> CesarAndreu: 3GB is not enough for ubuntu
[07:14] <wols> just have seem truly free space on disk, not in any partition
[07:14] <CesarAndreu> how much is needed for ubuntu?
[07:14] <ii> But for home users, wouldn't they want to get straight to 7.04 without all the hassle in between? (I myself have come up from 6.06 with a little time spent on 5.10)
[07:14] <wols> ii: most probably yes
[07:14] <teamwork> CesarAndreu, you need to use manual partitioning.
[07:14] <ii> OK
[07:14] <factorx> CesarAndreu: you'll be fine with ~10 GB, I think
[07:14] <Elko_> ii: not with this openoffice crashing issue ;)
[07:14] <jamyskis> killerbunny: my best suggestion at this time would be to get people to move to either skype or a jabber/jingle compatible client
[07:14] <zek> ii: do you know any boot cd projects of the top of your head
[07:15] <Elko_> Nobody uses OpenOffice here, eh.
[07:15] <ii> If you're talking about LTSP - there's plenty of info available about that on their site and Edubuntu site ... as for other stuff, not sure...
[07:15] <nzvip> o_o
[07:15] <killerbunny> jamyskis, thx for the help but thats not an option =/
[07:16] <teamwork> CesarAndreu, can't recall.  around 3 Gig is the absolute minimum.  you'll want more.  around 10 Gig, say.
[07:16] <ii> Elko: What's wrong with OO?

[07:20] <enyc> novato_br: you mean 'ntework cably unplugged' etc. ?
[07:20] <enyc> novato_br: err 'network cable unplugged' even
[07:20] <novato_br> no, enyc
[07:21] <beex> having trouble compiling vmware workstation 6 on my feisty box
[07:21] <jamyskis> ahmed: i'm guessing you've installed the 2.6.20-16 kernel and the nvidia modules associated with that? go back to 2.6.20-15 because that was where the problem was with me
[07:21] <beex> has anybody here had luck?
[07:21] <enyc> novato_br: what exactly do you mean 'network status' ?
[07:21] <novato_br> on  my systray has two computers to show the statistic about network
[07:21] <enyc> novato_br: depends what you are after...
[07:21] <enyc> novato_br: what do you mean 'statistic' exactly?
[07:21] <teamwork> i've never gotten anything compiled correctly on feisty.
[07:22] <enyc> novato_br: do you want to know the IP address... link type... ?
[07:22] <ahmed> jamyskis, i have no nvidia am ati

[07:22] <novato_br> wait
[07:22] <jamyskis> ahmed: are you running the beryl-manager?
[07:22] <enyc> teamwork: well you need to install "build-essential" and the relevant "-dev" packages to cpmile things... what are you havingc trouble with?
[07:22] <ahmed> yea
[07:22] <enyc> novato_br: well fine... but that doesnt tell me _exactly_ what info you actually want to see
[07:22] <ahmed> its workin very fine and animations is very okay
[07:22] <ahmed> but the window borders is just not there
[07:23] <maxagaz> is it normal not to be able to connect in root mode with ubuntu-server ?
[07:23] <jamyskis> ahmed: right click on the beryl manager gem in your notification area, scroll down to advanced beryl options and try playing around with the rendering path setting
[07:23] <enyc> maxagaz: well in ubutnu it is normal to have no root password unless you set one
[07:23] <jamyskis> ahmed: sometimes setting it to copy works
[07:23] <enyc> maxagaz: and hence you cannot login as root unless you set a root password
[07:24] <enyc> maxagaz: also some services (depends on the service) may refuse login as root... edpends on config
[07:24] <FlyingPig> hi there Booted live CD, ran installer. Told it to re-use the existing partitions as specified above. Answered the usual questions. Everything seemed to work fine, no error dialogs displayed. System ejected CD and shut down.

[07:26] <RodGo> hi all, is there a way to install kiba-dock on an amd64 with nvidia card and ubuntu feisty?
[07:26] <RodGo> anybody?
[07:26] <enyc> maxagaz: thats a mistake that is
[07:26] <novato_br> I need a net status applet for gnome
[07:27] <enyc> maxagaz: the user created at insatll time is a member of "admin" group which means they can  use 'sudo' to run commands as root, this is NOT the same as a root password
[07:27] <enyc> maxagaz: sudo on gksudo... usualy ask you to re-enter your user password you see
[07:27] <enyc> maxagaz: which permits you to run something as root, via another user
[07:27] <enyc> maxagaz: loggining in as root directly is a whole different matter ;-)
[07:27] <Rprp> hmm, does someone know how i can get my Ipod Video get working on Ubuntu? (tried this howto: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=114946) but i get this error: http://rafb.net/p/eEqaTf81.html
[07:28] <teamwork> beex, perhaps simply creating the directory will help.  sudo mkdir /usr/src/linux/include
[07:28] <RodGo> anybody know show to install kiba-dock on ubuntu feisty 64
[07:28] <RodGo> i have an nvidia card
[07:28] <Nutubuntu> Hi - been running Dapper for a long time, and suddenly developed a file system problem: I have about 11GB free and available but suddenly I cannot save anything. Can't open a terminal or Nautilus to check anything. Oh. And I'm scared ...
[07:28] <enyc> novato_br: the network status applet is part of  Ubuntu   Feisty7.04  ... is that the version you are using?   do you have earlier release like Dapper6.06. Edgy6.10  ?
[07:29] <maxagaz> enyc: I've got a big problem, I have to repair a server which is in a different country, I used to do "sudo ..." to run commands with the main user, but now it always returns that the user isn't in sudoers !
[07:29] <Nutubuntu> Any thoughts? Otherwise I guess it looks like a job for fsck?
[07:29] <beex> teamwork: It only changes the error to 'The path "/usr/src/linux/include" is an existing directory, but it does not
[07:29] <beex> contain a "linux" subdirectory as expected.'
[07:29] <teamwork> Nutubuntu, do you have a separate /home partition?
[07:29] <maxagaz> enyc: but nobody except me has an access to the server!
[07:29] <novato_br> enyc,  I'm on 7.04m
[07:29] <enyc> maxagaz: are you registered with nickserv?  (msg me)
[07:29] <Nutubuntu> teamwork - yes
[07:29] <delcoyote_> how to umont or kill cd/dvd freezed?

[07:33] <RabidWeezle> :/
[07:33] <ritongsxr> hi guys, can anyone help me with sound problems with feisty, no sound with jack output
[07:34] <RabidWeezle> ritongsxr, did you install jack?
[07:34] <ny00123> and recent 'crazy' mouse issues? (I think that's since kernel version 2.6.20-16 in Ubuntu for amd64/em64t)
[07:34] <ny00123> (and probably i386 too)
[07:34] <novato_br> when I was update my packs, have I need close all softwares?
[07:34] <Raziekiel> Can anyone give me a link to any articles on the "Kernel panic - not syncing: IO-APIC + timer" error I get when I try to boot from cd
[07:35] <RodGo> ubotu: i just want to install kiba-dock
[07:36] <ritongsxr> RabidWeezle: no i just did a fresh install of feisty, sound works ok on internal speakers (toshiba laptop) but no sound out of jack, can you explain how to install jack, i did not know you needed to do that.
[07:36] <Nutubuntu> teamwork - any thoughts?
[07:36] <RodGo> but somehow i tried some installations i found and cant do it
[07:37] <enyc> ooer
[07:37] <Corvinis-L> question.... When I restart ubuntu in 1280x1024 i get a slidable desktop..... and when I go to nvidia-settings and reapply 1280x1024 it's back/resized in it's original (correct position). how can this happen ?
[07:37] <gilo1> I don't have any questions, but I enjoy sitting here and learning from people and others with questions :)
[07:37] <teamwork> Nutubuntu, nope.  800MB is very little space, though.  may want to free a little up, if you can.
[07:38] <ritongsxr> gilo1: it is the best way!!!
[07:38] <eetfuk> ritongsxr: I had the same problem with my Amilo lappie
[07:38] <Nutubuntu> teamwork - that's 800 MB free on / ... on /home I have (had?) about 11GB free
[07:38] <Tom47> gilo1 ts like work easy watching and supervising
[07:38] <Nutubuntu> I am guessing that I need to reboot, fsck, and pray. :(
[07:39] <ritongsxr> eetfuk: i tried the add 3 stak on modprobe, did you get the jack working?
[07:39] <eetfuk> ritongsxr, if you open alsamixer and start unmuting and increasing volume on all faders, you will hear something
[07:39] <eetfuk> i thought it was HW too, but it was dead simple
[07:39] <teamwork> Nutubuntu, right.  running out of space on / will make it so you can't even start gdm correctly.
[07:39] <eetfuk> pressing M for unmuting should be taken notice of
[07:40] <Raziekiel> Everytime I try to boot from a ubuntu CD (
[07:40] <ritongsxr> eetfuk: i ve got sound on my laptop, but not on jack out put; i think its something to  do witha digital output, instead of analog
[07:40] <Raziekiel> 6.06 and 7.04, I get Kernel panic - not syncing: IO-APIC + timer
[07:40] <atselby> can anyone help point me in the direction of help with hibernate not working? thanks
[07:40] <gilo1> I spent almost a whole day trying to get the 1680x1050 resolution to work on my video only to find out that I needed to add my horizontal and vertical synchs to my xorg.conf.
[07:40] <Nutubuntu> teamwork - I'm trying to find my most recent CD in case I need to run Live CD ...
[07:40] <teamwork> Nutubuntu, backup your /home.  reboot into GParted Livecd and give / some more space.  that's what i'd do.
[07:41] <eetfuk> ritongsxr: I know, but one of the faders\buttons on the alsamixer controlls a separate volum output for jack.. Atleast for my pc
[07:41] <Nutubuntu> teamwork - thx
[07:41] <jamyskis> has anyone got a suggestion for this problem? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=462991
[07:41] <st3-f> hi all. i am using the ftp console program. how can i copy a whole directory or all of the files in the folder?
[07:41] <bullgard4> 'man fstab' writes under 'Synopsis': "#include <fstab.h>". What is the purpose of this syntax? I cannot find any file fstab.h in Ubuntu 7.04.
[07:41] <maxagaz> enyc?
[07:41] <teamwork> i like the GParted LiveCD b/c your at the window manager faster.
[07:41] <FlyingPig> hi again,how to reinstall GRUB to fix GRUB ERROR 15?
[07:41] <Tom47> Nuubuntu a useful way to get some space is to run sudo apt-get clean which clers out the packages you have downoaded but leaves them still installed
[07:42] <Tom47> Nutubuntu^^^
[07:42] <gilo1> st3-f using mget?  or can you tar them up from an ssh session?
[07:42] <jamyskis> Nuubuntu might be a good name for a really beginner friendly variant of ubuntu :p
[07:43] <pedrolo> sorry
[07:43] <teamwork> yeah, that'd been a good test, Tom47, to see if freeing up that space would've helped any.
[07:43] <st3-f> gilo1: using "ftp"
[07:43] <Corvinis-L> does anyone have an answer to the question i asked ?
[07:43] <pedrolo> exit
[07:43] <FlyingPig> ...and to my too
[07:44] <gilo1> st3-f then use mget to get multiple files and do a prompt so that it doesn't ask you for each file.
[07:44] <RodGo> anybody know how to install kiba-dock on ubuntu feisty 64
[07:44] <st3-f> gilo1: i want to send multiple files .. not get!?
[07:44] <Corvinis-L> question.... When I restart ubuntu in 1280x1024 i get a slidable desktop..... and when I go to nvidia-settings and reapply 1280x1024 it's back/resized in it's original (correct position). how can this happen ?
[07:44] <philth> Corvinis-L, Run nvidia-settings as root, then use the "Write xorg.conf"
[07:44] <Corvinis-L> ok then after?
[07:44] <teamwork> jamyskis, built in tutorial videos would be the thing.  how to do basic stuff.
[07:44] <Corvinis-L> oh wait I already did that
[07:44] <Corvinis-L> philth
[07:45] <gilo1> st3-f mput
[07:45] <jamyskis> teamwork: that's not a bad idea actually
[07:45] <st3-f> gilo1. thx. i'll try that
[07:45] <philth> Corvinis-L, If you are just running it as user it will not write the x.org for you, it just changed the settings for that session.
[07:45] <Ishmael> how do i make mozilla-mplayer the default for all file formats?
[07:45] <Corvinis-L> it's still at 1280x1024 after i reboot... it's just that somehow it's projected bigger and my desktop becomes slidable
[07:45] <Corvinis-L> I know i did gksudo
[07:46] <Ishmael> i dont have totem xine or vlc plugins installed
[07:46] <beex> teamwork, I am following this HOWTO(http://shirwa.wordpress.com/2007/05/16/how-to-install-vmware-workstation-6-on-ubuntu-feisty/), but it seems that my feisty install keeps the c headers in a different place
[07:46] <Ishmael> and it still uses this other player i cant do anything with
[07:46] <philth> Corvinis-L, Weird, I've had some weirdness with nvidia-settings. Sorry, no other ideas.
[07:46] <Corvinis-L> k thanks
[07:46] <teamwork> jamyskis, it really would be the way to go, if that were the goal of a distro.  tell them about the filesystem, the concept of permissions, and how to work with the terminal and change themes and stuff.
[07:47] <Corvinis-L> rebooting
[07:47] <omV0> i'm running feisty and i've been trying for hours to play a DVD.. nothing works.. including installing vlc and libdvdcss2

[07:47] <Joutsen> All I can find is version 5.0.24a.
[07:48] <lebowski> Hi people, I'm trying to play DVD's on feisty using VLC media player.  It's working but occasionally it skips. any ideas?
[07:48] <lebowski> DMA is enabled
[07:48] <omV0> when i insert my DVD Totem pops up and tells me "There is no plugin to handle this movie."
[07:48] <lebowski> omVO: have you installed codecs?
[07:49] <lebowski> seems like media player trouble time :)
[07:49] <teamwork> jamyskis, that'd be cool.  i don't know how to pull of that conversion either, but i'm sure it can be done.
[07:49] <omV0> lebowski: i pretty much installed everything i could find in every wiki article.. any specific codecs?
[07:49] <lwizardl> w32
[07:49] <jamyskis> omV0: you need to install a whole load of plugins not to mention libdvdcss, your best bet might be to run it using VLC Media Player (you can get it in the repos)
[07:49] <sivaji2009>     lebowski      omV0  u r driver is far better my driver cant detect dvd nothing happens when i insert dvd disk
[07:49] <JuJuBee> Can someone help me with a login problem?  When I enter my password at the login screen, nothing types in the login field.  My password also does not work.

[07:49] <lebowski> yeah, ffmpeg
[07:50] <lebowski> omV0
[07:50] <Joutsen> JuJuBee: Is your keyboard plugged in?
[07:50] <omV0> jamyskis: vlc is not working either...
[07:50] <JuJuBee> Yes, I can type my username...
[07:50] <sivaji2009> JuJuBee num lock
[07:50] <lebowski> sivaji, does it open the DVD,  or does it not want to play it?
[07:50] <JuJuBee> Nope...
[07:51] <JuJuBee> no numbers in my password.
[07:51] <Joutsen> JuJuBee: Caps Lock?
[07:51] <jamyskis> omV0: then you need libdvdcss in all likelihood, which you won't get in the repos
[07:51] <JuJuBee> Nope
[07:51] <thirdy> how do I tell xubuntu that I am the OWNER of this Computer

[07:53] <Tom47> adrenaline System>Prefernces>Sound
[07:53] <lebowski> omV0: type mount in a console and see if you can find the DVD player, make sure it is mounted. and that when you open a DVD it points to that location (e.g. /dev/hdb)
[07:53] <johnficca2> I'm trying to add beryl to the start up program list, but every time I reboot its missing from the list, whats the deal ?

[08:08] <teamwork> Nutubuntu, seems like your drive would have some life left in it then.  perhaps it was just a one time thing.  backup regularly and you should be A-OK.
[08:08] <Blackhawk5193> But now I'm trapped, unable to use the internet or do anything.
[08:08] <Elfboy> how do i change @thesource-laptop:<---this

[08:09] <teamwork> Blackhawk5193, what's the issue?
[08:09] <Elfboy> how do i change @thesource-laptop:<---this

[08:12] <lebowski> omV0: have you tried to play it in totem?
[08:12] <teamwork> Sogen, create a mount point, i.e. a directory in /mnt, perhaps.  then mount it.
[08:13] <omV0> lebowski: wow just typing 'eject' in command worked =)
[08:13] <PriceChild> Sogen, you can't mount /dev/hda
[08:13] <lebowski> omV0: life is full of surprises :)
[08:13] <PriceChild> Sogen, that is an entire driver, you need to mount a partition, for example /dev/hda0
[08:13] <__mikem> I thought /dev/hda was the MBR
[08:13] <Blackhawk5193> So I'm pretty much screwed because I can't do anything on my computer because I can't get rid of linux.

[08:14] <preaction> Blackhawk5193: you don't. you install windows over it

[08:51] <cjae> what is the name of the intel pro 100 ethernet module?
[08:51] <wols> e100
[08:51] <teamwork_> Robert98374, so when it's autostarted it's buggy, but when you start it via command it's fine?
[08:51] <Robert98374> teamwork_i tried the default one and it still does the same thing
[08:51] <Death_Sargent> gnome icon theme causes crash after ten seconds
[08:51] <Robert98374> teamwork_yep
[08:51] <Death_Sargent> acording to gnome
[08:52] <cjae> wols, thanks so if it is loaded then my card must be shot right??
[08:52] <tavasz> hehe szia maci
[08:53] <Bitmess> Anyone know if Kubuntu repositories will work with Knoppix?
[08:53] <craigbass1976> I'm trying to set up a web server, and I need it running on 8080.  I've gone into the apache conf file and typed in Listenip.add.ress:8080, but it still listens on 80.
[08:54] <durman>  
[08:54] <wols> cjae: no
[08:54] <craigbass1976> And now that I've looked further, I see that I needed to edit apache2's conf file, and that apaches wasn't even supposed to be running.  All set now.
[08:54] <wols> Bitmess: do not mix distros. so: no
[08:55] <wols> craigbass1976: exactly like you typed that here?
[08:55] <Hoxzer>  craigbass1976 :/ did you edit httpd.conf ?
[08:55] <cjae> wols, I guess I should say is there any way to test the card to check if shot (assumming that I have shecked all the cables and the router seems to be performing well)
[08:55] <wols> craigbass1976: it's also the wrong option
[08:55] <craigbass1976> Does Ubuntu read ntfs by default?  I have a computer coming in tonight that's messed up and I don't know where Knopix went.
[08:55] <Hoxzer> craigbass1976: and the right syntax should be "Listen 8080"
[08:56] <craigbass1976> wols, I did edit the file, but it was in /etc/apache, and I should have been aiming for /etc/apache2
[08:56] <cBau> craigbass1976: Yes, ubuntu reads NTFS by default, writing to NTFS is another issue.
[08:56] <Robert98374> teamwork_ are you going to be on later i have to go
[08:56] <craigbass1976> wols, silly me...
[08:56] <wols> craigbass1976: still the wrong option
[08:56] <cjae> wols, and I am taling through the same lan so it must not be the router ISP modem
[08:56] <craigbass1976> cBau, no writing necessary, I think I'm going to wipe it after I grab wht the guy wants off of it.
[08:57] <teamwork_> Robert98374, probably won't.
[08:57] <craigbass1976> wols, what do you mean?
[08:57] <Sarah> Hello, I have a problem upgrading my 6.10 Ubuntu installation to 7.04. The update program returns the following during the "Preparing upgrade" state: "Failed to fetch http://..... Subprocess gzip returned an error code (1)". Any ideas? This is the last file it seems to be trying to get.
[08:57] <Robert98374> teamwork_ ok ill try to find someone else than thank for the help
[08:57] <teamwork_> Robert98374, ur welcome.
[08:57] <wols> cjae: if you connect to the internet with that network card it can't be broken, can it?
[08:57] <wols> craigbass1976: it's Listen
[08:58] <cBau> craigbass1976: You are going to wipe as in reformat?
[08:58] <cjae> wols, no just using slack machine not the ubuntu on same lan
[08:58] <rambo3> Sarah, try aptitude
[08:58] <craigbass1976> wols, Yeah, I got it.
[08:58] <craigbass1976> cBau, unless I can talk him into letting me install Ubuntu... :)
[08:58] <grodius> Hi, i'm trying to get an nvidia card to display at 1366x768 res on ubuntu, does anyone know how to do this?
[08:58] <Sarah> rambo3, I haven't used that. What would the command be to upgrade like that?
[08:58] <ferronica> is there any application for creating FLASH MOVIE in ubuntu 7.04 GNOME???
[08:59] <cBau> Craigbass1976: reformat and such should be fine, and writing to NTFS is easy as well
[08:59] <silvernode> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

I have not had windows in this house for a couple years now, and don't know what's up with Linux as it pertains to ntfs.  Sounds like I'll be all set for what I want to do though.
[09:00] <Sarah> rambo3, thank you

[09:01] <super-6-1> hello all im having a wireless problem
[09:01] <craigbass1976> frolle, that may be screwing you
[09:01] <sebas_> is there any system log, where I can see what is happening at the time?
[09:01] <__mikem> how do I add a folder to my shell's search path?
[09:01] <cBau> Craigbass1976: yeah, you'll definitely be good for grabbing files and reformating, etc. Can't remember the exact setup for NTFS write... but it's really easy.
[09:01] <cjae> wols, no only mac address and lspci still be\rings it up as well
[09:01] <frolle> craigbass1976: i will disable it and see, 2 sec

[09:02] <craigbass1976> cBau, I'm not even going to bother.  I've also got a kaspersky boot cd, and if that fixes it I won't have to worry about even booting linux.  I guess this problem started with limewire...
[09:02] <frolle> craigbass1976: i can browse my computer, i just cant open the files..
[09:02] <wols> cjae: /etc/init.d/networking restart then. most probably it's a DHCP error
[09:02] <MKR> Jabapyth: Are you running the partitioner as root?
[09:02] <cBau> Craigbass1976: haha, fair enough :)
[09:02] <Hassi_James> does somebody know how i get sound in my flashplayer (plugin for firefox) ?
[09:03] <MKR> Jabapyth: and is it your boot drive?
[09:03] <craigbass1976> frolle, so, you can see the files on the windows box from ubuntu, but can't open them?
[09:03] <super-6-1> hello all im having a wireless problem
[09:03] <Jabapyth> i guess im not
[09:03] <Jabapyth> ill try that
[09:03] <MKR> You can't touch the partitions on the drive you boot with
[09:03] <MKR> You'll need to do it from a livecd
[09:03] <Illuzionz> I have some problems with my sound card, no matter what i do i cant get it work, its a card with the X-Fi Xtreme Fidelity chip, any ideas?
[09:03] <MKR> (if you're booted in to it)
[09:03] <frolle> craigbass1976: Yes i can, but i cant hear my mp3's or see a movie from the other server
[09:03] <sebas_> !ask | super-6-1
[09:03] <ubotu> super-6-1: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[09:03] <Jabapyth> i am on a livecd

[09:03] <grodius> Anyone: if I install the nvidia-glx-legacy driver, will I be able to display a resolution of 1366x768 ?
[09:03] <cBau> Jabapyth: That is because the drive you are trying to partition is currently mounted (and is the one you are using) run off the live CD
[09:04] <super-6-1> wa ha ha ha aha ha ha
[09:04] <Jabapyth> cBauu: i am on a livecd

[09:04] <we2by> what tool to use to hardsub videos?
[09:04] <MKR> Then you probably just need to sudo
[09:04] <Illuzionz> I have some problems with my sound card, no matter what i do i cant get it work, its a card with the X-Fi Xtreme Fidelity chip, any ideas?
[09:04] <Jabapyth> whats the default password?
[09:04] <cBau> Jabapyth: That thur is odd then
[09:04] <MKR> Jabapyth: none
[09:04] <Illuzionz> there isnt a defailt
[09:04] <Jabapyth> thnx
[09:05] <MKR> Jabapyth: Just hit enter and the password prompt
[09:05] <Jowi> silvernode, right click on it and chose "complete removal". that should get rid of the config files as well as the app.

[09:05] <frolle> craigbass1976: i can open pictures, documents, no problem! I cant open movies and mp3's
[09:05] <MasseR> sebas_: Altough I wonder the logic in it
[09:05] <super-6-1> when you get done
[09:05] <silvernode> jowi:in synaptic? cuz synaptic gives an error and i cant use it
[09:05] <Illuzionz> i have some problems with my sound card, a X-Fi Xtreme Fidelity chip on it, how to make it work?
[09:06] <sebas_> super-6-1: no idea
[09:06] <super-6-1> Okey ~
[09:06] <craigbass1976> frolle, what if you copy one over so that it is actually residing on the ubuntu hard drive, will it open up then?
[09:06] <sebas_> MasseR: me neither
[09:06] <MasseR> :)
[09:06] <Jowi> silvernode, ah, i misunderstood. I thought that you did not know the password to the app you installed, not synaptic itself.
[09:06] <Eric_Jardas> How to uninstall something I installed manually (compiled) ?
[09:06] <frolle> craigbass1976: yes it will, but i want to run it from the other server
[09:06] <Jowi> silvernode, try "escape"
[09:06] <perlmonkey> hi
[09:07] <sebas_> MasseR: it's kind of annoying
[09:07] <MasseR> sebas_: And that the md5-checking is so damn slow
[09:07] <MasseR> I tested with md5sum command later
[09:07] <MasseR> 10 times faster
[09:07] <craigbass1976> frolle, hrmmm...  I don't know then.  I wondered if it was your player.  Do a search on the ubuntu forums for samba and mp3
[09:07] <alex-90g> can someone take a look at my issue? I don't really know what to do and am a complete linux noob. I have detailed my problem as much as possible for now here: http://forums.clubrsx.com/showthread.php?t=486334

[09:10] <amigappc> good evening ladies
[09:10] <Eric_Jardas> How to uninstall something I installed manually (compiled) ?
[09:10] <silvernode> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[09:10] <silvernode> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[09:11] <unimatrix9> alex-90g : in the worsed case you can fallback to the open nv driver
[09:11] <PriceChild> silvernode, again, "sudo dpkg --configure -a"
[09:11] <kennylog> i'd try the ubuntu forums if i were you
[09:11] <raulh> oh alex we had this problem with Ikan yserdaty and he spent 9hours trying to resolve it and nothing
[09:11] <unimatrix9> alex-90g : just edit xorg and change nvidia to nv
[09:11] <silvernode> i ran the file it told me to but it just brought up python and told me to log in....i just want to get rid of it
[09:11] <timing> is there a ubuntu irc channel where i can talk about development and bugs? and not about: 'how do i make my windows wobbly' ?
[09:11] <Jowi> Eric_Jardas, remove the dir you installed to (or remove it with apt-get if you installed with checkinstall)
[09:11] <amigappc|OoO|hel> does anyone knows where i can get an intel9xx driver for ubuntu ?
[09:11] <craigbass1976> frolle, how are yo making out?
[09:11] <dxdt> teamwork_: what would the device name be?  i thought it would be something like /dev/sda or something but I don't have that option.  Any ideas?
[09:11] <PriceChild> timing, there is -bugs, -motu etc.
[09:11] <kennylog> bye all

[09:12] <Jowi> silvernode, sorry, I don't know the solution to that one.
[09:12] <bsnider> is there an ubuntu ppc channel?
[09:12] <PriceChild> bsnider, #ubuntu-ppc
[09:12] <teamwork_> dxdt, no it wouldn't be /dev/sda.  something like /dev/sda1, or /dev/sdb2 or something.
[09:12] <PriceChild> silvernode, please pastebin the output of sudo dpkg --configure -a
[09:12] <teamwork_> dxdt, but you can find out using sudo fdisk -l
[09:12] <Jowi> amigappc|OoO|hel, it is installed by default (it is called i810). if you have problem with resolution install the package 915resolution
[09:13] <cjae> wols, are you there??
[09:13] <POVaddct> amigappc|OoO|hel: i915 and i945 is supported by the i810 xorg driver
[09:13] <acollins> does anyone know if compiz works in gutsy at the moment?
[09:13] <alex-90g> unimatrix9, i believe i tried that already. but if I change "nvidia" to "nv" what does that do exactly?
[09:13] <OhMyAudi> !nvidia
[09:13] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:13] <sebas_> !envy
[09:13] <ubotu> envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[09:13] <ekiczek> hi all. i have a thinkpad x60s... which kernel should i use? "generic" or "386"?
[09:13] <madsporkmurderer> I have several samba mounts that should mount at boot with fstab entries, however if left at (option)auto they do not mount and seem to somehow corrupt the target mount points- ls -l results in a long wait and a load of ???s
[09:14] <teamwork_> amigappc|OoO|hel, the i810 + 915resolution is OK.  installing xserver-xorg-video-intel worked better for me though.
[09:14] <silvernode> pricechild:it brings up a graphical interface so i dont know where to copy the output
[09:14] <Jowi> amigappc|OoO|hel, i810 will be replaced by the "intel" driver once it is finished. but for now the i810 works with all major intel cards.
[09:14] <alex-90g> i would like to be able to use the nvidia driver to AT LEAST support my resolution and be able to run Beryl
[09:14] <unimatrix9> alex-90g : it will then use the open nv driver, instead of the commercial driver of nvidia
[09:14] <madsporkmurderer> If I set them to noauto then mount them individually ater booting they are fine
[09:14] <PriceChild> silvernode, could you at least tell us what it says?
[09:14] <craigbass1976> frolle, I'm disappointed in you... I found it in one go.
[09:14] <Paddy_EIRE> im am having a little trouble configuring ntfs write support with that "NTFS Configuration Tool" it recognises /dev/sda2 but when I tick the box and type "/windows" as its mount point it tells me its not valid?
[09:14] <alex-90g> unimatrix9, where will it find that driver? don't i need to install it?
[09:14] <craigbass1976> frolle, I guess you have to actually mount up the folder
[09:14] <Jowi> teamwork_, the intel driver (from universe) is unfinished but _should_ also work.
[09:14] <frolle> craigbass1976: give me url then
[09:14] <silvernode> pricechild:ok give me a sec
[09:14] <mcquaid> I want to automate some stuff with programs that wouldn't normally lend themselves to automation
[09:14] <wols> cjae: it's not what I told you to do

[09:14] <frolle> craigbass1976: i already knew that :) but i am getting errors..
[09:15] <teamwork_> Jowi, yeah, it worked OK for me.
[09:15] <amigappc|OoO|hel> thx @teamwork and @jowi but not on my laptop ... if i use 915res he gave me a failure code ... and the drivers dont work. i must use the vesa drivers ...
[09:15] <cjae> wols,
[09:15] <wols> and you said ifconfig -a showed you a ethX
[09:15] <unimatrix9> alex-90g : its already installed, but will not give you 3D ( beryl ) it will give you an working desktop again
[09:15] <cjae> wols, what I did to
[09:15] <opapo> gparted says that it can't format a partition because it is "apparently in use by the system"
[09:15] <cjae> wols too
[09:15] <opapo> I don't have it mounted
[09:15] <craigbass1976> frolle, you're doing something like sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=<windows username>,password=<your windows password> //LAP/'madman1337_files' ?
[09:15] <POVaddct> amigappc|OoO|hel: is that a brand new machine? maybe i965 graphics?
[09:15] <amigappc|OoO|hel> no its a old one
[09:15] <frolle> craigbass1976: Yes, something like that
[09:15] <silvernode> pricechild: python-poker-network must have a database installed and configured

[09:15] <silvernode>   perform this configuration manually, or if your database has already      
[09:15] <silvernode>   been installed and configured, you should refuse this option.  Details    
[09:15] <Paddy_EIRE> opapo, are you running from the live cd
[09:15] <alex-90g> unimatrix9, i can get a working desktop as it is. i have the original xconf file backed up. i can get it back from the terminal
[09:15] <silvernode>   on what needs to be done should most likely be provided in                
[09:15] <silvernode>   /usr/share/doc/python-poker-network.

[09:16] <raulh> would WINE run any .exe program?
[09:16] <unimatrix9> alex-90g : i was wondering what version of ubuntu do you use?
[09:16] <cjae> I restarted the init/d/netwoking and if failed
[09:16] <opapo> Paddy_EIRE: no
[09:16] <Jowi> amigappc|OoO|hel, what is the resolution you try to use, what is the native resolution of your lcd laptop, is the resolution you want present if you type "sudo 915resolution -l"?
[09:16] <alex-90g> unimatrix9, 7.04

[09:16] <POVaddct> amigappc|OoO|hel: then it definitely should run with the i810 driver
[09:16] <Paddy_EIRE> raulh, almost
[09:16] <opapo> I am in the Ubuntu partition
[09:16] <cjae> wols, mind my bad typing

[09:16] <Voyage_> how to install lucent winmodem?
[09:16] <Corvinis-V> how do i edit xorg.conf as gksudo ?
[09:16] <jlu> i'm on a dual-boot with xp and ubuntu, and they seem to conflict with the system time! everytime i go back into windows, my system clock is all screwed up. does anyone know what to do?
[09:16] <Paddy_EIRE> opapo, so you are running from the hdd that you are trying to modify :)
[09:16] <unimatrix9> alex-90g : and the restricted driver installer does not work?
[09:16] <frolle> craigbass1976: Its ok, i didnt take it personally :)
[09:16] <teamwork_> raulh, perhaps not perfectly, but it'll run it.
[09:16] <Illuzionz> i have some problems with my sound card, a X-Fi Xtreme Fidelity chip on it, how to make it work?
[09:17] <opapo> Paddy_EIRE: I had Fedora on that partition and now I want to wipe it.
[09:17] <Corvinis-V> I tried gksudo gedit /etc/x11/xorg.conf but it doesn't show the config file
[09:17] <amigappc|OoO|hel> @povaddct if i try to use the driver i cant  boot xserver .... @jowi i got only 1024x768 and my lapi is using 1280x800
[09:17] <raulh> ok atleast itll run =) does it go full screen?
[09:17] <Paddy_EIRE> opapo, have you unmounted that partition
[09:17] <alex-90g> unimatrix9, i read that somewhere and enabled it, but it didn't do anything
[09:17] <POVaddct> amigappc|OoO|hel: what error message do you get from 915resolution?
[09:17] <teamwork_> jlu, you need to set your hardware clock to use local time, and tell Ubuntu that your hardware clock is local time.
[09:17] <opapo> Paddy_EIRE: yes it is unmounted
[09:17] <JayMac> Will ubuntu configure my new video card automaticlly?!?!??!!?
[09:17] <Jowi> amigappc|OoO|hel, check if 1280x800 is present when you type "sudo 915resolution -l"
[09:17] <Voyage_> how to install lucent winmodem?
[09:17] <dxdt> Corvinis-V:  You need a capital X
[09:17] <cjae> wols, I was just also mentioning that lspci still shows the card
[09:17] <alex-90g> unimatrix9, im confused what that did? im used to windows where I just need a driver to get a piece of hardware running
[09:17] <jlu> teamwork_: how do i set my hardware clock to use local time? bios?
[09:18] <alex-90g> in ubuntu i need to do more than that?
[09:18] <miguev> hi

[09:18] <JayMac> Will ubuntu configure my new video card automaticlly?!?!??!!?
[09:18] <unimatrix9> alex-90g : it should download the right nvidia driver for you and install it, its that simple...in theory
[09:18] <dxdt> Corvinis-V: so like /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:18] <Paddy_EIRE> opapo, close gparted open a terminal and type sudo umount -a then type gksudo gparted and try again
[09:18] <JayMac> Will ubuntu configure my new video card automaticlly?!?!??!!?]

[09:18] <ahmed> guys any one know how to install dri drivers in ubuntu ??
[09:18] <cjae> wols, and that ifconfig up says no device found
[09:18] <alex-90g> unimatrix9, oh I think it did that. and when it modifies the xconf file it breaks it
[09:18] <teamwork_> jlu, yes.  BIOS.  not sure how to tell Ubuntu that your hardware clock is LOCAL, but that's what you need to do.
[09:18] <Illuzionz> i have some problems with my sound card, a X-Fi Xtreme Fidelity chip on it, how to make it work?
[09:18] <JayMac> Will ubuntu configure my new video card automaticlly?!?!??!!?
[09:18] <fuzzy_logic> hi people.. i've installed a .run program but now i want to remove it.. how can i do that?
[09:18] <PurpZeY> JayMac: Most likely. Some cards take a tiny bit of work, but it should be easy.
[09:18] <frolle> craigbass1976: when i am using that i am getting ACCESS DENIED!
[09:18] <dgt84> JayMac: probably shouldn't spam the channel
[09:18] <JayMac> :P
[09:18] <ahmed> guys any one know how to install dri drivers in ubuntu ??
[09:18] <JayMac> :-X
[09:18] <amigappc|OoO|hel> @jowi Chipset Id: 6611039

[09:19] <ahmed> guys any one know how to install dri drivers in ubuntu ??
[09:19] <Jowi> amigappc|OoO|hel, read my question again.
[09:19] <Paddy_EIRE> anyone know how I can get the NTFS configuration tool to mount my ntfs (win) partition as It says /windows aint valid
[09:19] <opapo> Paddy_EIRE: won't umount -a unmount all file systems installed?
[09:19] <raulh> ttanks you all for ytour time peace
[09:19] <frolle> craigbass1976: i think it is because there is password on, how do i add that?
[09:19] <teamwork_> jlu, if you find how to do that, let me know.
[09:19] <Voyage_> how to install lucent winmodem? can any one help
[09:19] <ahmed> guys any one know how to install dri drivers in ubuntu ??
[09:19] <Madsy> Linux UVC is a USB driver for devices following the UVC standard, right? So applications which should use my webcam still has to use the video4linux API?
[09:19] <jlu> teamwork_: haha, aight man!
[09:19] <wols> Paddy_EIRE: the /windows directory must exist
[09:19] <Paddy_EIRE> opapo, yeah bt you will still be running, and as far as I know it wont impede you in anyway
[09:19] <wols> ahmed: what card?
[09:20] <ahmed> ati
[09:20] <Paddy_EIRE> wols, it does I did "sudo mkdir /windows"
[09:20] <dxdt> Paddy_EIRE: /windows sounds not correct at all.  My guess is it would be something /dev/sda# where # is the partition.  i'm not sure what the easiest way is to find out the number, #, though
[09:20] <Voyage_> wols ahmed ?
[09:20] <wols> ahmed: which one exactly
[09:20] <ahmed> mobility radeon x1800
[09:20] <Illuzionz> Does anyone want to help me? i'm a newby to linux, i want my sound card to work , its a X-Fi Xtreme Fidelity chip
[09:20] <Voyage_> dxdt ?
[09:20] <unimatrix9> alex-90g : there is no one you know that has more knowledge then you ( dont be offended ) in linux you can ask for help, friend nearby or so?
[09:20] <PriceChild> Illuzionz, x-fi cards won't work with alsa sorry
[09:20] <ahmed> wols ?
[09:20] <Illuzionz> PriceChild,  what will work with it?
[09:20] <wols> ahmed: what chip?
[09:20] <PriceChild> Illuzionz, erm... windows?
[09:20] <ahmed> wat do u mean
[09:20] <Trixsey> What's the name of the calculator in gnome?
[09:20] <wols> ah. you don't need dri. you need fglrx
[09:21] <Trixsey> gcalc? no?
[09:21] <Paddy_EIRE> dxdt, yes, thats correct but it want to mount /dev/sda2 to a mount point so ala "/windows"
[09:21] <alex-90g> unimatrix9, nope.
[09:21] <wols> !ati | ahmed
[09:21] <ubotu> ahmed: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:21] <ahmed> yea i hate already fglrx
[09:21] <dxdt> Paddy_EIRE: oh alright, I see where you at
[09:21] <Illuzionz> PriceChild,  serieus? so i cant use this card under linux?
[09:21] <ahmed> but i heard dri are better
[09:21] <alex-90g> unimatrix9, all my friends use windows and when they have a problem they come to me, ahha
[09:21] <PriceChild> Illuzionz, sorry
[09:21] <ahmed> am installin lookin glass (sun desktop)
[09:21] <ahmed> and i had some troubles
[09:21] <ahmed> so the site says i shud install dri drivers
[09:21] <ahmed> wat do u think wols ?
[09:21] <silvernode> pricechild:i pasted the text on pastebin but it only shows what i posted and nothing else
[09:21] <frolle> craigbass1976: i mounted it! :D
[09:21] <wols> Illuzionz: ask creative for drivers, or specs
[09:21] <Paddy_EIRE> dxdt, trying to use minimal amount of terminal and text file editing as possible
[09:21] <alex-90g> unimatrix9, do you think I would have better luck with fedora 7?
[09:21] <PriceChild> silvernode, give me the url once you perss submit
[09:21] <Jowi> ahmed, you're not missing much. looking glass is very very buggy :-/
[09:22] <Paddy_EIRE> opapo, any joy ?
[09:22] <frolle> craigbass1976: it is working like a charm :)
[09:22] <Illuzionz> wols,  what do u mean?
[09:22] <ahmed> so is beryl right now
[09:22] <dxdt> Paddy_EIRE: and you've installed like that handy ntfs tool and stuff?
[09:22] <wols> ahmed: fglrx and vesa are the only driver which work for your card. no others
[09:22] <Paddy_EIRE> dxdt, yes thats correct
[09:22] <wols> Illuzionz: creative provides neithre driver nor specs, so your card is not supported
[09:22] <ahmed> guys in beryl whenever , i switch to beryl window decorator ( emerald ) the borders of the windows disappears plz help
[09:22] <Paddy_EIRE> dxdt, is there a wiki page for that tool anywhere
[09:22] <Paddy_EIRE> !ntfs
[09:22] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[09:22] <silvernode> pricechild:http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24113/
[09:22] <Illuzionz> wols,  and there is no other way to get this card to work?
[09:23] <hammedhaaret> Hi... what difference is there between .mp3 and .ogg   .....any reason to pick one over the other?
[09:23] <Assassin`> anyone know of a good program i could tape beryl with
[09:23] <brohken> unimatrix9, this is alex-90g
[09:23] <Paddy_EIRE> hammedhaaret, mp3 is proprietry and ogg is not
[09:23] <POVaddct> !pastebin > amigappc|OoO|hel
[09:23] <ahmed> guys in beryl whenever , i switch to beryl window decorator ( emerald ) the borders of the windows disappears plz help/??
[09:23] <teamwork_> ahmed, run 'emerald --replace'.  see if that gives you your window decorations.
[09:23] <wols> Illuzionz: read again if you didn't before
[09:23] <factorx> hammedhaaret: mp3 is a codec, ogg is a container
[09:23] <wols> Illuzionz: your question is already answered
[09:23] <Assassin`> ahmed go to #ubuntu-effects
[09:23] <PriceChild> silvernode, erm.... just say yes?
[09:23] <Assassin`> ok
[09:23] <ahmed> teamwork_ no
[09:24] <opapo> Paddy_EIRE: I get a lot of "device is busy" warnings
[09:24] <Paddy_EIRE> hammedhaaret, I also believe that ogg maintains better quality with less loss
[09:24] <ahmed> it kinda refreshed it
[09:24] <dgt84> hammedhaaret: mp3 is patent-encumbered while ogg vorbis is not (ogg is just the container), and generally vorbis is considered better quality at the same bitrates, but some portable audio players won't play ogg vorbis
[09:24] <ahmed> but still borders are dispearing
[09:24] <Paddy_EIRE> opapo, yeah thats ok
[09:24] <teamwork_> ahmed, in Feisty?
[09:24] <ahmed> i dun see the min, max , close buttons
[09:24] <ahmed> yea
[09:24] <ahmed> feisty
[09:24] <Paddy_EIRE> did you do "gksudo gparted"
[09:24] <funkmaster> when i try to compile a program i get this error, someone has an idea what the problem could be? http://pastebin.ca/537528
[09:24] <hammedhaaret> Paddy_EIRE ok... gotta support the community then (:
[09:24] <silvernode> pricechild:after i say yes it wants a password for the database and i dont know it
[09:24] <teamwork_> ahmed, did you try running Desktop Effects, just to see if they'd work?
[09:24] <Paddy_EIRE> opapo, did u do "gksudo gparted"
[09:24] <dgt84> hammedhaaret: see here for more info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorbis
[09:24] <ahmed> well dude, normal beryl effects like wobble is working
[09:24] <PriceChild> silvernode, i think you just have to choose one
[09:25] <hammedhaaret> dgt84 : thx for the details... ill pick ogg then..
[09:25] <ahmed> but the window decorator ( emerald is not working)
[09:25] <Paddy_EIRE> hammedhaaret, samsung and a few others have ipod style players that support ogg
[09:25] <teamwork_> ahmed, hmm... i dunno.  try in #ubuntu-effects.
[09:26] <unimatrix9> ?
[09:26] <unimatrix9> hmm
[09:26] <opapo> Paddy_EIRE: I did gksudo gparted and it gives me the same error
[09:26] <dxdt> what is the device name for cdroms? Like for hard drives it is /dev/sda# what is it for cdroms?
[09:26] <CesarAndreu> hey, I got Ubuntu on a PC with Windows Vista and I removed the Linux parititons (formated them) but now GRUB loader is still there. How do I flash the Windows Vista loader?
[09:26] <CesarAndreu> does anyone here know?
[09:26] <georgy28> dxdt : /dev/hdx
[09:26] <Jowi> dxdt, you should have a link called /dev/cdrom
[09:26] <PriceChild> !windows | CesarAndreu
[09:26] <ubotu> CesarAndreu: 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
[09:26] <brohken> unimatrix9, so i guess im screwed then. do you think i would have more luck with fedora 7?
[09:27] <dxdt> is it /dev/hd even if you have an sata drive for your dvd?
[09:27] <Jowi> CesarAndreu, you probably have a command similar that XP have (fixmbr etc etc) ask in ##windows
[09:27] <unimatrix9> brohken , i dont think you are a lost case, and fedora , well you can alway's tru
[09:27] <Paddy_EIRE> opapo, hmm, maybe you should just do it from a live cd much less hassle
[09:27] <unimatrix9> try
[09:27] <unimatrix9> :)
[09:28] <opapo> Paddy_EIRE: I will try that
[09:28] <CesarAndreu> thank you
[09:28] <brohken> unimatrix9, i don't really know what to do next
[09:28] <unimatrix9> brohken , what would you like to do?
[09:29] <Baubal> Greetings all, a question: What is the maximum amount of files that cp can handle on ubuntu linux? I get an error when I try do cp a dir containing about 15000 files.  (I dont have the error msg unfortunately.. but cp works just find elseways.. just with this amount of files I think)
[09:29] <schigh> Hello. What is the difference between hard and symbolic links?
[09:33] <wols> Baubal: did you have * in your cp line?
[09:33] <Baubal> nods
[09:33] <Baubal> schigh: yes
[09:33] <schigh> Baubal, that wasn't a yes or no question...
[09:33] <vIkSiT> 'lo all
[09:33] <vIkSiT> anyone here upgrade their gaim to pidgin on feisty?
[09:33] <unimatrix9> brohken : normally you would install it, then select resticted drivers, let it install the driver , reboot when fineshed and ready to roll, but i guess thats not how it went?
[09:33] <jlu> teamwork_ : ok, i got it now. basically i changed utc=yes to utc=no as specified here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/37750   everything seems to be working now.
[09:33] <Baubal> schigh: it was "cp * /blah2"
[09:33] <jburd> I have pidgin installed.
[09:33] <vIkSiT> jburd, are their unofficial repos which upgrade?
[09:33] <teamwork_> jlu, cool.  thanks.
[09:33] <vIkSiT> or did you get debs and install it? i'm worried about my gaim logs atm
[09:33] <Baubal> schigh: I was in the dir I needed to copy.  I am thinking I should probably tar it, then copy?
[09:33] <jburd> I don't know yet.  I used the source code.
[09:33] <jlu> teamwork_ : thanks for the pointers!
[09:33] <jburd> Mostly since I'm hacking away a bit at the code.
[09:33] <hammedhaaret> Paddy_EIRE: yeah... and the new iriver clix 2 support it as well. boy i gotta get me one of those (:
[09:33] <schigh> I'm sorry Baubal, did I miss something? I have no idea what you're talking about.
[09:33] <vIkSiT> jburd, hmm. and you had to remove gaim too right? else you'd have run into lib clashes
[09:33] <jburd> Yes.  I had to remove gaim.
[09:33] <Upgrayedd> hey all
[09:33] <Paddy_EIRE> hammedhaaret, yeah I do like the irivers
[09:33] <shawn34> Can someone help me completely uninstall the beta nvidia drivers i installed for my 8600gt? I'm trying to revert back. I uninstalled all *nvidia* from synaptic and installed default nvidia-glx drivers from restricted-drivers in menu. but x crashes and wont start. someome please help!
[09:33] <Baubal> schigh: ack.. forgive me.. that was meant for wols.. my apologies
[09:33] <vIkSiT> jburd, and any ideas if pidgin supports gaim logs?
[09:33] <Upgrayedd> anyone know about installing ubuntu 7.04 on parallels?
[09:33] <POVaddct> !pastebin > POVaddct
[09:33] <jburd> vIkSiT: It should out of the box.
[09:33] <LjL> Baubal: it's a shell (command line length) limitation, not a limitation of cp. use cp -a directory /blah without *'s
[09:33] <Baubal> wols: see my replies to schigh lol.  (too long a day so far!)
[09:33] <vIkSiT> jburd, so i don't need to rename .gaim to .pidgin, for instance?
[09:33] <jburd> Let me check
[09:34] <brohken> unimatrix9, thats not how it went at all
[09:34] <schigh> Can anyone explain the difference between hard and symbolic links?
[09:34] <jburd> no you don't
[09:34] <jburd> :-)
[09:34] <shawn34> anyone?
[09:34] <brohken> unimatrix9, do you think i can contact you later today when I have the xorg conf and log files?
[09:34] <LjL> schigh: a symbolic link is a file that gets treated specially, i.e. (most) file handling calls read the path it points to, instead of reading the actual contents
[09:34] <Paddy_EIRE> could someone help me with the ntfs config tool as it wont let me set any mount point
[09:35] <unimatrix9> its already late over here, europe...
[09:35] <Nuked> firefox and vlc are core dumping for god knows whatever reason on my feisty x86_64 system.. could someone help
[09:35] <malmen> hell
[09:35] <LjL> schigh: a hard link is simply a redundant reference to a file. every file, as you know, is referenced by a filename; a hardlink simply gives it another filename.
[09:35] <unimatrix9> :P
[09:35] <malmen> anyone here use php-gtk ?
[09:35] <Baubal> LjL: cp -a directory /blah without *'s.  excellent - will give that a shot, thank you kindly
[09:35] <unimatrix9> but i am sure all will be helpfull here...
[09:35] <dgt84> schigh: "Unlike a hard link, a symbolic link does not point directly to data, but merely contains a symbolic path which an operating system uses to identify a hard link (or another symbolic link). Thus, when a user removes a symbolic link, the file to which it pointed remains unaffected. (In contrast, the removal of a hard link will result in the removal of the file if that file has no other hard links.)" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link
[09:35] <warlock_handler> hi guys
[09:36] <LjL> schigh: when you create a hardlink, a counter for the file is incremented. when you remove one, it's decremented. this way, when you "rm" a file, the filesystem knows that the space should only be marked as free if there are no more links left
[09:36] <ubuntuEdgy> can any one please tell me how to fix this"diversion of /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 to /usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1.xlibmesa by nvidia-glx' clashes with `diversion of /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 to /usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so.1.xlibmesa by xorg-driver-fglrx'"
[09:36] <LjL> schigh: with symbolic links, on the other hand, the filesystem couldn't care less. if you remove the file the symlink pointed to, the symlink will point to nothing anymore. if you remove the symlink, only the symlink is removed.
[09:36] <intangir> whats a good IRC server you can run thats in the ubuntu repos?
[09:36] <dgt84> Nuked: you change anything recently (e.g. messed with your RAM)?
[09:36] <ubuntuEdgy> sorry about the long paste
[09:37] <Nuked> dgt84: no
[09:37] <schigh> LjL, thanks.
[09:37] <dgt84> Nuked: any other apps crashing?
[09:37] <LjL> intangir: hibrid perhaps
[09:37] <unimatrix9> there seems to be a lot of problems with the nvidia drivers lately...
[09:37] <LjL> hybrid even
[09:37] <Nuked> vlc dgt84
[09:37] <Nuked> the firefox vlc plugin is not installed
[09:37] <unimatrix9> LjL , is this true, nividia update breaks systems?
[09:38] <cjae> wols, have you given up on me
[09:38] <LjL> unimatrix9: define "nvidia update". are you using the drivers from the ubuntu repository?
[09:38] <LjL> unimatrix9: i'm using them, and nothing broke at all for me.
[09:38] <gostview> hi all
[09:38] <dgt84> Nuked: I had a bunch of weird core dumps once and it turned out my RAM had gone bad... not sure how you would test for that though. Another problem would be things like half-finished dist-upgrades and such
[09:38] <Zano> Heya. I'm wondering if if in Ubuntu it is possible to do the following.. Have one computer with two monitors, two keyboards, two mice and a dualcore CPU to allow two users to simultaneously use it in dual desktop environments? I know there's noway to do that in Windows so i figured Linux would be my best bet.
[09:38] <unimatrix9> no, i am fine, i just noticed there are a lot of complains about nvidia drivers
[09:38] <d1gital> can someone pls tell me what programs are being used in this screenshot:  http://linux.sk/pics/ubuntu.jpg      thanks.
[09:38] <Nuked> dgt84:  its neither of those afaik
[09:39] <intangir> LjL: have you tried it?
[09:39] <LjL> dgt84, Nuked: RAM can be tested with memtest86+, which is included by default in Ubuntu, and can be started from the GRUB boot menu.
[09:39] <vIkSiT> d1gital, gdesklets and OS X bar perhaps
[09:39] <Wips> Anyone know of a gameboy/gameboy color emulator for Ubuntu?
[09:39] <gostview> help!! may I install ubuntu without delete a little programme in MBR?
[09:39] <LjL> intangir: no
[09:39] <d1gital> vIkSiT:   thanks.
[09:39] <dgt84> LjL: ah, yeah forgot about that
[09:39] <vIkSiT> np
[09:39] <unimatrix9> dlgital : i think they are gdesklets
[09:40] <unimatrix9> dlgital : if all repositories are enabled , you can download that, apt-get install gdesklets
[09:40] <Upgrayedd> anyone here know about installing 7.04 under parallels?
[09:40] <cjae> gostview, alternate install disc ubuntu.i386.alternate.iso or something like that
[09:40] <unimatrix9> just try to install it..
[09:40] <Chousuke> Upgrayedd: use VMWare fusion instead; they support it with their tools
[09:41] <Chousuke> Upgrayedd: AFAIK Parallels doesn't
[09:41] <Upgrayedd> i'm getting some weird errors from the live cd
[09:41] <d1gital> unimatrix:  i know how to apt-get :-)  thanks anyway tho
[09:41] <aquafina> lol
[09:41] <gostview> cjae> alternate?? what exacty is?
[09:41] <unimatrix9> oh, hehe\\
[09:41] <Chousuke> Upgrayedd: I just installed Feisty in VMWare without trouble. :)
[09:41] <LjL> !alternate > gostview    (gostview, see the private message from Ubotu)
[09:41] <vIkSiT> dang. removing gaim is tough - it tells me it needs to remove ubuntu-desktop and nautilus-sendto!
[09:41] <Chousuke> well, save the fact that my computer swapped like hell
[09:41] <cjae> gostview, give you more options during install
[09:41] <aquafina> removing gaim isn't hard
[09:42] <Upgrayedd> something about busybox
[09:42] <Chousuke> I really need that extra RAM ;P
[09:42] <vIkSiT> aquafina, i didn't say it was :) i said its about the dependencies
[09:42] <aquafina> oh
[09:42] <vIkSiT> any ideas how to get past those?
[09:42] <aquafina> XD
[09:42] <Upgrayedd> can't access job control
[09:42] <unimatrix9> vIkSiT : or just delete it from menu ( edit gnome menu )
[09:42] <unimatrix9> :P
[09:42] <vIkSiT> tsk tsk.
[09:42] <aquafina> what dependecies are there?
[09:42] <pipatron> Chousuke: lol!
[09:42] <aquafina> when i removed it
[09:42] <Chousuke> pipatron: :P
[09:42] <vIkSiT> jburd, how exactly did you get rid of gaim btw?
[09:43] <aricz> :)
[09:43] <vIkSiT> aquafina, look above .. i mentioned it
[09:43] <gostview> tnx
[09:43] <Chousuke> hmm
[09:43] <jburd> "dang. removing gaim is tough - it tells me it needs to remove ubuntu-desktop and nautilus-sendto!"
[09:43] <jburd> That's how. @ vIkSiT
[09:43] <aquafina> ahhh
[09:43] <LjL> Wips: hope i've answered.
[09:43] <elisboa> Has anyone ever used the tun interface on Feisty? I load the module, but it says that the interface doesn't exist. My kernel is 2.6.20-15-generic
[09:43] <vIkSiT> jburd, *remove ubuntu desktop*?
[09:43] <jburd> Yeah, it doesn't blow your system up.
[09:43] <aquafina> since i'm using xubuntu i guess thats why i didn't get those dependecies
[09:43] <Wips> Thx LjL :P You did, have any idea which one's the best?
[09:43] <vIkSiT> hmm, must check what ubuntu-desktop actually is then
[09:44] <Jowi> jburd, ubuntu-desktop is a metafile. you can safely remove it. just install it again if you need to dist-upgrade.
[09:44] <vIkSiT> Jowi, ah, i see
[09:44] <Jowi> !ubuntu-desktop | jburd
[09:44] <ubotu> jburd: k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading.
[09:44] <jburd> Yeah, however, installing ubuntu-desktop will remove pidgin and install gaim.
[09:44] <jburd> Jowi: I know.
[09:44] <vIkSiT> oh ok. a meta-package. fair enough
[09:45] <vIkSiT> curiously, where does that bot get the information from?
[09:45] <jburd> So you've got a little choice to make here @ vIkSiT
[09:45] <vIkSiT> an apt-cache search gets me nothing
[09:45] <unimatrix9> This because, GAIM comes in standard with Ubuntu, so while uninstalling GAIM, it would find a dependency on ubuntu-desktop and would ask that you remove that too. Although it is perfectly alrite to remove ubuntu-desktop as it is only a meta package, you would enter a dependency hell, if and ever you tried to upgrade later.
[09:45] <Jowi> jburd, if you are dist-upgrading (changing from current version of ubuntu to the next one) then it will not matter much
[09:45] <LjL> Wips: i think i'd try gnuboy-x and gngb rather than the multi-platform ones. both can emulate the color version as well. if you're interested, there is also visualboyadvance.
[09:45] <jburd> Either wait for pidgin to be available or do it yourself.
[09:45] <vIkSiT> jburd, well, thats going to be only a problem if i do a dist-upgrade
[09:45] <jburd> Jowi: true
[09:45] <elisboa> !tun
[09:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about tun - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:45] <aricz> so, we're stuck with gaim.. :)
[09:45] <aquafina> installing pidgin urself is pretty easy
[09:45] <Anton99> i'm using beryl, but how i can restore window decorations?
[09:46] <unimatrix9> If you still would not like to see GAIM, you can remove its shortcut from the menu by
[09:46] <unimatrix9> Right click on Applications and select Edit Menus. Go to Internet and de-select GAIM and pretend you dont have it
[09:46] <aquafina> i can't wait for it to get in the repositories though
[09:46] <LjL> !bot > vIkSiT    (vIkSiT, see the private message from Ubotu)
[09:46] <Anton99> !beryl
[09:46] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[09:46] <vIkSiT> unimatrix9, actually, you wouldn't enter dependency hell at all. to do a dist-upgrade, a simple install ubuntu-desktop should bring back the stock system
[09:46] <vIkSiT> LjL, thanks
[09:46] <unimatrix9> hmm, okey
[09:46] <aricz> without gaim?
[09:47] <vIkSiT> unimatrix9, the reason i'm doing this btw, is to install *pidgin*, not remove it from my menu :)
[09:47] <aquafina> lol
[09:47] <Anton99> !lol
[09:47] <unimatrix9> so whats holding you back to install pidgin , you dont need to uninstall gaim, do you?
[09:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about lol - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:47] <aquafina> yeah u do
[09:47] <vIkSiT> unimatrix9, you do
[09:47] <intangir> how do i tell which programs have which ports open?
[09:48] <aquafina> you need to uninstall the gaim data files
[09:48] <aquafina> as well
[09:48] <Anton99> which is gaim official website?
[09:48] <aquafina> pidgin.im
[09:48] <aquafina> i think
[09:48] <LjL> intangir: sudo netstat -l -p
[09:48] <unimatrix9> oh, okey, learned a thing again...
[09:48] <Anton99> Gaim, not pidgin!
[09:48] <Anton99> !flood
[09:48] <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)
[09:48] <aquafina> gaim is defunct now
[09:48] <Anton99> !flooding
[09:48] <aquafina> pidgin is the new gaim
[09:48] <jburd> Gaim has been renamed Pidgin.
[09:48] <shadeofgrey> can someone please take a minute and give me a link to installing ubuntu on a macbookpro with boot camp?
[09:48] <Anton99> thx
[09:48] <aquafina> yeah
[09:49] <pietro10> Hi again
[09:49] <Anton99> why?
[09:49] <aquafina> pidgin = gaim 2.0
[09:49] <pietro10> Where is the info on installing Beryl in ATI?
[09:49] <Anton99> gaim sounds better ;)
[09:49] <aquafina> yeah it does
[09:49] <aquafina> but there was some kind of trouble with aol
[09:49] <Jowi> Anton99, some issues with AOL
[09:49] <kuroaisu> it's the result of a lawsuit
[09:49] <jburd> AOL threatened to sue Sean and folks for using "AIM" in their name.
[09:49] <aquafina> stupid aol...
[09:49] <unimatrix9> i see there are deb files of pidgin around on the net too
[09:49] <Anton99> it is registred trademark AIM?
[09:49] <jburd> No. AOL didn't have a problem earlier.  However, Gaim had been getting decent popularity.
[09:50] <kuroaisu> yah, stupid aol, trying to protect their trademark as required under US law..
[09:50] <Corvinis-V> is there a nice apache/php/mysql package for linux like xampp that's safe for production usage?
[09:50] <jburd> AOL couldn't take it.
[09:50] <unimatrix9> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-pidgin-200-on-ubuntu-feisty-with-plugin-pack.html
[09:50] <source> can anyone tell me how to get to xorg.conf in terminal
[09:50] <Anton99> !kick
[09:50] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kick - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:50] <Anton99> !ban
[09:50] <ubotu> If you have been banned it is probably because you have not gone along with what is acceptable behaviour. If you're not sure what acceptable behaviour is please see http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/
[09:50] <LjL> !botabuse
[09:50] <ubotu> Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (see also !Bot). Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops...
[09:50] <jburd> By the way, Google employed Gaim's lead developer.
[09:50] <Paddy_EIRE> could someone tell me why when I go to ntfs configuration tool it loads up nicely and shows that I have "/dev/sda2" which is a vista install, then when I tick the box to enable support and add a mount point such as "/media/windows" it gives me this error "/media/windows" contains an invalid character please choose a name not a directory
[09:50] <Corvinis-V> gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:50] <jburd> So you can expect some really good code in there.
[09:50] <jburd> :-)
[09:50] <Corvinis-V> source
[09:50] <Anton99> how i can move xorg to the swapspace?
[09:50] <Corvinis-V> read my last msg :)
[09:50] <source> can anyone tell me how to get to xorg.conf in terminal
[09:51] <LjL> source: he just did
[09:51] <source> convinis, yeah?
[09:51] <Corvinis-V> i did
[09:51] <pietro10> !repeat | source
[09:51] <ubotu> source: 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
[09:51] <Corvinis-V> pls read up a bit
[09:51] <oleg> sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:51] <LjL> oleg: no
[09:51] <Corvinis-V> -_-
[09:51] <LjL> oleg: sudo should *not* be used for GUI applications, use gksudo.
[09:51] <Anton99> sudo bash && nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:51] <source> sorry i didnt see it. bloody bot spam..
[09:51] <oleg> from terminal?
[09:52] <pietro10> Anton99: you don't need the "bash &&" part
[09:52] <Corvinis-V> let's tell him all three times lol...
[09:52] <LjL> oleg: yes.
[09:52] <OhMyAudi> Are there any differences (beyond appearance) when installing kubuntu vs just the kde-core with ubuntu?
[09:52] <Corvinis-V> he's prolly done with the entire file by now
[09:52] <jburd> I think sudo could be modifed to detect references to non-console libraries in the executable.
[09:52] <LjL> OhMyAudi: err... you get like a ton more packages in the former case?
[09:52] <Anton99> can i install package for debian 4.0 onto my ubutu 7.04?
[09:52] <ferronica> ubuntu 7.04 wont detect my nokia mobile phone connected via USB but lsusb showing nokia phone what i do to access my mobile
[09:53] <OhMyAudi> LjL: I heard that kde that ships with (k)ubuntu is not very stable
[09:53] <LjL> !debian | Anton99
[09:53] <ubotu> Anton99: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu!
[09:53] <skathirgamu> I have HP LaserJet 4050 Series printer on the network .. when i configure the printer its always send to the tray 1 .. even i configure to send to the tray 2 .. does anybody know why .. and the tray 1 is the testing tray so i am not able to print it. could somebody help ?
[09:53] <OhMyAudi> LjL: I was also under the impressions that the kubuntu guys were on their own team separate from the ubuntu people
[09:53] <Corvinis-V> so now for my question.... did someone have an answer? about the apache/php/mysql combo ?
[09:53] <Anton99> !rpm
[09:53] <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)
[09:53] <LjL> OhMyAudi: ?! even if that were the case, what's the reasoning behind installing kde-core instead? it's not a *different* kde, it's the same packages. just a more restricted set of them.
[09:53] <OhMyAudi> LjL: That's why I was wondering if the kde-core was direct from the kde repositories or the same a kubuntu without all the junk
[09:53] <geoaxis> hello people
[09:53] <aquafina> hello geo
[09:53] <Scunizi> OhMyAudi, I'm running ubuntu gnome and installed kubuntu-base.. works great.. some gnome programs may have issues but far and few between.
[09:54] <geoaxis> i am unable to install oracle 10.2 light edition on ubuntu
[09:54] <jburd> It's better to use the source instead of an RPM.
[09:54] <Anton99> how i can install RPMs on my ubuntu?
[09:54] <intangir> LjL: thx, that worked
[09:54] <geoaxis> it gives libc.so.6 error
[09:54] <Scunizi> Anton99, u can use alien
[09:54] <Satchel> is there a plugin that can play flash files saved to your harddrive?
[09:54] <LjL> OhMyAudi, teams may be separate, but there is nothing else separate. the Ubuntu repositories are the same as the Kubuntu repositories. Kubuntu is just Ubuntu with KDE (and a selection of KDE apps) installed instead of GNOME.
[09:54] <pietro10> Anton99: alien the rpm to make it a deb
[09:54] <LjL> !kubuntu > OhMyAudi    (OhMyAudi, see the private message from Ubotu)
[09:54] <Paddy_EIRE> Anton99, alien
[09:54] <Voyage_> how to install lucent winmodem? can any one help
[09:54] <jburd> Anton99: Do you need to?  Which package are you trying to install that does not have a deb?
[09:54] <pietro10> !rpm > Anton99
[09:54] <jsizzle> greets, what is the package for the g++ compiler in ubuntu?
[09:54] <pietro10> !rpm
[09:54] <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)
[09:54] <OhMyAudi> LjL: Thanks, but I understand that
[09:54] <Satchel> a while ago i mplayer would play FLash files that i saved from /tmp and now they wont open with it
[09:54] <aquafina> if its an RPM, you can probably find a source
[09:55] <aquafina> if you look
[09:55] <jburd> jsizzle: `sudo aptitude search g++`
[09:55] <Anton99> Scunizi, apt-get install alien ? / it is one package from fedora core
[09:55] <Satchel> how do i get mplayer to play Flash files
[09:55] <OhMyAudi> LjL: I just wanted to know if the base packages were altered by the kubuntu development team when someone install kubuntu-desktop as opposed to kde-core
[09:55] <pietro10> Anton99: what package?
[09:55] <jsizzle> jburd: that lists about a million packages
[09:55] <aquafina> google is everyone's best friend
[09:55] <jburd> Anton99: I'd prefer using checkinstall with the source file.
[09:55] <ferronica> ubuntu 7.04 wont detect my nokia mobile phone connected via USB but lsusb showing nokia phone what i do to access my mobile
[09:55] <Scunizi> Anton99, I don't know about fedora, but installing it is like you said.. I'll look up the syntax on how to use and get back in a min.
[09:55] <LjL> OhMyAudi: well, you must still be missing something if you think kde-core can be "direct from the kde repositories" (besides, the kde folks don't have "repositories", not in the APT sense). all of our packages, except a couple of in-house ones, come from *debian*, then modified if needed, and there is only one KDE.
[09:55] <Anton99> :D a VMware workstation, closed source
[09:56] <Satchel> what can i use to play a Bin file
[09:56] <pietro10> Anton99: Ubuntu has VMware Server in the Multiverse (?)
[09:56] <LjL> OhMyAudi, look at what kubuntu-desktop depends on. look at what kde-core depends on. you'll see it's the very same libraries.
[09:56] <OhMyAudi> LjL: I was considering different words when writing that statement.  I know what you mean
[09:56] <pietro10> !vmware
[09:56] <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
[09:56] <unimatrix9> Satchel : are the files named .flv?
[09:56] <Rex_> hello everyone. Does anyone know of a program that I can use to make a video presentation tutorial of activities on my desktop? I want to do a capture and add a soundtrack.
[09:56] <jburd> Anton99: Here's how:   1. Download source code.  2. Unpack and change directories to the new directory.  3.  ./configure 4.  make  5 sudo checkinstall -D
[09:56] <gnomefreak> Satchel: sh filename.bin
[09:56] <OhMyAudi> LjL: Okay, essentially you answered my question.  Thank you very much
[09:56] <pietro10> Rex_: wink
[09:56] <Satchel> no
[09:56] <Satchel> they have no extension
[09:56] <jburd> Anton99: That will create a Debian package for you from the source code.
[09:56] <Satchel> but before when i would open them with mplayer they would play
[09:56] <pietro10> jburd: CLOSED SOURCE
[09:56] <unimatrix9> if not do that first, then right klick and choose play with mplayer
[09:56] <Satchel> now they dont
[09:56] <OhMyAudi> LjL: I have another question unrelated to my previous
[09:56] <Scunizi> Anton99, sudo alien -d "filew/version_no".rpm
[09:56] <jburd> pietro10: Oh.
[09:57] <gnomefreak> Satchel: is it a .bin file?
[09:57] <Rex_> pietro10: thank you... going to check that now.
[09:57] <Paddy_EIRE> gnomefreak, long time no see
[09:57] <Satchel> it says it is
[09:57] <gnomefreak> hi Paddy_EIRE
[09:57] <pietro10> He'll need to get VMware Server
[09:57] <gnomefreak> Satchel: than run it as i told you
[09:57] <Satchel> is there something i can use gnomefreak
[09:57] <OhMyAudi> LjL: Do I need to run powernowd to get power change events on my laptop?
[09:57] <jburd> Doesn't VMWare provide a bin in addition to an RPM?
[09:57] <tao4mike> anyone know why my firefox and thunderbird are tellign me that the process is already running but they are not listed in the system monitor applet?
[09:57] <gnomefreak> Satchel: sh filename.bin
[09:57] <Paddy_EIRE> gnomefreak, enjoying feisty
[09:57] <OhMyAudi> LjL: Or the notifications of events I should say
[09:57] <pietro10> jburd: you'll need to check
[09:57] <LjL> OhMyAudi: http://apt.byethost14.com/?repo=Feisty&arch=i386&package=kde-core&have=kubuntu-desktop <-- these are the packages in kde-core that are not in kubuntu-desktop, and http://apt.byethost14.com/?repo=Feisty&arch=i386&package=kubuntu-desktop&have=kde-core <-- these are the ones in kubuntu-desktop that are not in kde-core
[09:57] <gnomefreak> Paddy_EIRE: good
[09:57] <source> yeah i am trying to add Option "Capabilities" "0x00000800"
[09:57] <source> Option "UseFastTLS" "off"
[09:57] <source> Option "KernelModuleParm" "locked-userpages=0" to xorg. would have to go under device
[09:57] <Nutubuntu> Hi all - I'm going to replace the hard disk in my Dapper system, cloning it (somehow - don't know how yet) to a new one. Would it make sense to upgrade to Feisty at this point as well? (I would figure on installing Feisty on the new drive, then installing the various packages I depend on, and finally creating and copying my old /home from the old drive.) Would it make sense to go to Feisty, or better to wait for G----- later this
[09:57] <Nutubuntu> year?
[09:57] <Rex_> pietro10: sweet! that is exactly what I needed. ;)
[09:57] <Rex_> thanks
[09:57] <LjL> OhMyAudi: i don't really know, i don't have any laptops

[09:58] <Anton99> thx
[09:58] <Erlik> elo
[09:58] <Rex_> pietro10: I have that bookmarked... I will dig it out for you.
[09:58] <OhMyAudi> Thanks all!
[09:58] <LjL> Nutubuntu: sorry? you were basically the only one actually posting in a sensible way.
[09:58] <gnomefreak> Satchel: what are you trying to do? that is how you run bin files. what is the file?
[09:59] <Rex_> pietro10: ATI radeon?
[09:59] <pietro10> yes
[09:59] <Satchel> it was a cached file in /tmp that mv to /home
[09:59] <Rex_> pietro10: http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_feisty_beryl_ati_radeon
[09:59] <jburd> Sadly, emacs CVS doesn't install well with checkinstall. :(
[09:59] <LjL> Nutubuntu: it's probably a good time to upgrade, in my opinion
[09:59] <Satchel> it says its a .BIN
[09:59] <gnomefreak> Satchel: what error did it give you?
[09:59] <LjL> !cloning > Nutubuntu    (Nutubuntu, see the private message from Ubotu)
[09:59] <Wips> I dont get it. I've installed gngb LjL, but I cant find it anywhere
[09:59] <Satchel> cannot execute .BIN
[09:59] <Erlik> ACTION change "-oooo <chanop> <chanop> <chanop> <chanop>" on channel
[09:59] <unimatrix9> Satchel , and right klick choose play with mplayer?
[09:59] <LjL> Wips: tried typing "gngb" in a console?
[09:59] <unimatrix9> does not work?
[10:00] <Satchel> yea
[10:00] <Satchel> it doesnt all the sudden
[10:00] <LjL> Erlik, excuse me?
[10:00] <Wips> LjL: nvm :)
[10:00] <LjL> !enter | Satchel
[10:00] <ubotu> Satchel: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[10:00] <unimatrix9> a bin file is not an mplayer file , thats an a other matter
[10:00] <Erlik> ACTION change "-oooo <chanop> <chanop> <chanop> <chanop>" on channel
[10:00] <Corvinis-V> LjL do you perhaps know of a good apache/php/sql combo
[10:00] <Nutubuntu> LjL - I was actually typing a question about that exact dpkg command when I saw the msg. Thanks!
[10:00] <Corvinis-V> erlik stab being a noob
[10:00] <Corvinis-V> stop
[10:00] <Corvinis-V> stab?
[10:00] <Corvinis-V> oh well
[10:01] <LjL> !enter | Corvinis-V
[10:01] <ubotu> Corvinis-V: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[10:01] <dgt84> bin can be a CD image and mplayer can sometimes play them if it's for a VCD/SVCD/etc
[10:01] <LjL> ... for that matter :)
[10:01] <Corvinis-V> oh sorry met bad :)
[10:01] <Satchel> it was working before unimatrix9
[10:01] <pietro10> Thanks Rex_ that link reminded me of this:

[10:01] <jrib> lauriexxx: there are backups made in /etc/X11
[10:02] <LjL> lauriexxx: the dpkg-reconfigure probably created a backup. type  ls -l /etc/X11/xorg.conf*  and see if there is one.

[10:02] <Paddy_EIRE> could someone tell me why when I go to ntfs configuration tool it loads up nicely and shows that I have "/dev/sda2" which is a vista install, then when I tick the box to enable support and add a mount point such as "/media/windows" it gives me this error "/media/windows" contains an invalid character please choose a name not a directory
[10:02] <pietro10> lauriexxx: "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old; X"
[10:02] <jburd> teaper!
[10:02] <opapo> Can I increase the size of an existing partition with gparted?
[10:02] <jrib> pietro10: wouldn't taht overwrite the backup?
[10:02] <lauriexxx> THANK YOU MANY
[10:02] <ferronica> ubuntu 7.04 wont detect my nokia mobile phone connected via USB but lsusb showing nokia phone what i do to access my mobile
[10:03] <LjL> pietro10: err, that will *wipe* the backup if there is one called xorg.conf.old
[10:03] <dgt84> Satchel: what kind of files are they? (is it a movie, cd image, binary, etc?)
[10:03] <lekremyelsew> opapo: it will erase all ur data tho
[10:03] <pietro10> LjL: ok
[10:03] <pietro10> I have to restart now
[10:03] <pietro10> bye
[10:03] <Satchel> it was a movie file
[10:03] <pipatron> Hey guys, I'm having trouble with suspend-to-ram on my Thinkpad X40 running Ubuntu 7.04. I wonder if someone knows how to start debugging this issue? It just hangs when I suspend it, requiring a powercycle to reboot.
[10:04] <Satchel> i had it working last night
[10:04] <opapo> lekremyelsew: is there a utility that will enlarge a partition without losing data?
[10:04] <Anton99> apt-get install vmware-server returns that it cannot find vmserver :( i have all repos uncommented
[10:04] <dgt84> Satchel: did you update mplayer or anything lately? have you tried VLC?
[10:04] <Satchel> yea i updated
[10:04] <lekremyelsew> opapo: the way partitions work its impossible
[10:04] <Satchel> no other media players work either
[10:05] <dgt84> Satchel: the update may have changed something... you running Feisty?
[10:05] <Nutubuntu> Also - can anyone point me to a tutorial, etc., on drive partitioning? I've currently got a partioning scheme that may be too complicated, with many separate partitions. I'd like to keep /home separate -- what else? advice very welcome; I'm a newbie to partitioning schemes. The new drive is 250GB.
[10:05] <Satchel> dapper
[10:05] <unimatrix9> Satchel : cd to the file, in the bash shell , and run mplayer nameofthefile.bin
[10:05] <unimatrix9> see what error you get..
[10:05] <Anton99> apt-get install vmware-server returns that it cannot find vmware-server pkg :( i have all repos uncommented
[10:05] <dgt84> Nutubuntu: I generally go with /, /boot, swap, and /home partitions
[10:05] <pipatron> Nutubuntu: Consider reading about LVM
[10:06] <Satchel> that worked unimatrix9
[10:06] <Jowi> Nutubuntu, I use a simple layout: / swap and /home
[10:06] <godtvisken> Is Pidgin not in the repos yet?
[10:06] <LjL> Nutubuntu, i think that you know how to partition a drive. if you're looking for a tutorial on "what's the best partition setup for a drive", you won't find one, because there's not a "best" setup.
[10:06] <Satchel> but the graphics are really crappy now
[10:06] <lekremyelsew> apapo: wait, i think if you expand the partition into free space it still keeps data
[10:06] <Anton99> i'm using / only :D because i have 4GB RAM
[10:06] <Anton99> apt-get install vmware-server returns that it cannot find vmware-server pkg :( i have all repos uncommented
[10:06] <jrib> !vmware > Anton99 (see the private message from ubotu)
[10:06] <unimatrix9> hmm
[10:06] <LjL> Nutubuntu: i have my root partition, and i have /home, and that's all. it works for me, but something else might work better for you
[10:06] <lekremyelsew> apopo: but im not totally sute
[10:06] <Brandon420^> whats happening people?
[10:06] <Anton99> !virtualizers
[10:06] <ubotu> 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
[10:07] <Nutubuntu> thx dgt84, pipatron, Jowi, & LjL - yes, was looking for "what's a good setup" ... I'll read up. Thanks again.
[10:07] <lauriexxx> LjL, i tried pietrolO's method first, to no avail, and i ve just typed yours, it says -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3603 2007-06-04 21:54 /etc/X11/xorg.conf, what does this mean? is he going o be alright?
[10:07] <dgt84> Satchel: are you using backports or something strange (other than defaults + universe, multiverse)?
[10:07] <LjL> !pm the bot | Anton99
[10:07] <ubotu> Anton99: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (see also !Bot). Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops...
[10:07] <jrib> Anton99: you need the commercial repositories
[10:07] <unimatrix9> hi Brandon420 , well a lot of users woth questions..
[10:07] <Satchel> i dont think so DGJ_

[10:07] <tao4mike> my firefox and thunderbird will not start, it says the process is already running.  however they are not listed anywhere in the system monitor applet.  last night my Nautilus locked up and I killed the process..at which point the pc went to like a terminal screen only and I pressed ctrl alt del and it restarted.  I am new to linux and was wondering how to get them to stop running so I can start them up again. thank you very much!
[10:07] <Brandon420^> Whats up unimatrix9
[10:07] <unimatrix9> all is well, just trying to hlep out here...
[10:07] <unimatrix9> :P
[10:07] <Jowi> Nutubuntu, /home on a separate partition is great in case you need to upgrade/re-install or somehow get a corrupted root partition.
[10:08] <mc44> tao4mike: in a terminal use killall firefox-bin
[10:08] <Brandon420^> unimatrix9: I have a problem I need some help with also, with the sound. wanna give me a helping hand?
[10:08] <LjL> lauriexxx, somehow it strikes me as very weird that you tried pietro's method (which was wrong, anyway) *before* my command, because if you did, my command should have showed "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.old", not xorg.conf
[10:08] <dgt84> Satchel: I wonder why mplayer was updated recently on dapper then... if you are pulling some new parts in and mixing with old libraries weird things can happen
[10:08] <Brandon420^> :) greatly be appricated.
[10:08] <Jowi> tao4mike, "killall firefox-bin"
[10:08] <Satchel> well its working but the graphics are crap
[10:08] <Nutubuntu> Thx, Jowi
[10:08] <Jowi> tao4mike, or
[10:09] <dgt84> Satchel: maybe mplayer's configuration has changed? I'm not sure about how to set it up since I don't use it.
[10:09] <Brandon420^> Nutubuntu: thats a creative nick. ;)
[10:09] <Jowi> tao4mike, firefox -ProfileManager
[10:09] <aajvs99> anyone no how to setup surrond sound via onboard?
[10:09] <unimatrix9> Brandon420 i am not to good woth soundcards, but go ahead and state the problem, there are lots of others that can help out
[10:09] <LjL> lauriexxx: anyway, that line (if there is only that line) would seem to indicate that no backup was made. so dpkg-reconfigure again and try to make it work. select the "vesa" driver for failsafe X startup. if you have an nvidia card, you can try selecting "nv", and if you have ati, i think it's "ati" ("nv" and "ati" as opposed to the proprietary drivers)
[10:09] <lauriexxx> LjL: sorry, i was reading from the bottom to the top, just that alone is weired i guess, anyway just rebooting, but x server is still down, i m so sad...
[10:09] <Nutubuntu> <-- Learning ... not so "Nu" someday ;)
[10:09] <Nutubuntu> Thx again all
[10:09] <aajvs99> no problem just two channel sound but i have 5.1 setup
[10:10] <Brandon420^> unimatrix9: ok. I am new to Linux all together. I have no sound and the troubleshooting guides are leading me no where. :( x 5
[10:10] <iFries> Hi :) I just installed Ubuntu on my 1st disk(hda1), but I have another(ntfs) disk with 2 partitions, how do I remove those partitions and get 1 ext3 partition back ? Thanx!
[10:10] <dgt84> Satchel: some of this might be useful, not sure: http://freshmeat.net/articles/view/747/
[10:10] <Brandon420^> sound worked fine while I was using windows.
[10:10] <tao4mike> upon entering killall firefox-bin it says no process killed
[10:10] <unimatrix9> Brandon420 whats the card , brand?
[10:10] <Voyage_> what can i do to install build essential. i dl all required packages. it says some are not configured.
[10:10] <lauriexxx> LjL: I just hate ATi drivers, they're so useless, give me a cheasy intel anyday...
[10:10] <LjL> Voyage_: you did what? downloaded?
[10:10] <aajvs99> onboard sound card
[10:10] <Brandon420^> unimatrix: I couldn't even tell ya bro. I think its a riptide.
[10:11] <Voyage_> LjL yes
[10:11] <ferronica> ubuntu 7.04 wont detect my nokia 6101 mobile phone connected via USB but lsusb showing nokia phone what i do to access my mobile
[10:11] <LjL> Voyage_: to install build-essential, you should merely type  sudo apt-get install build-essential . any downloading will be done automatically.
[10:11] <LjL> !software > Voyage_    (Voyage_, see the private message from Ubotu)
[10:11] <Jowi> iFries, launch "gparted", select the disk with the NTFS partitions, remove the partitions and apply the changes. then create a ext3 partition in new empty space and apply the changes.
[10:11] <unimatrix9> Brandon420 : there is no sound icon on the right above corner of you gnome desktop?
[10:11] <Jowi> iFries, I am assuming that when you say "remove" you mean "destroy the two ntfs partitions"
[10:11] <demonic_fury> anyone want to help me with setting up Wine, Steam, and CSS?
[10:11] <Anton99> !source code
[10:11] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about source code - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:11] <Anton99> !source
[10:12] <ubotu> You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html
[10:12] <lauriexxx> LjL: do you hink i could be saving my time with a fresh install?
[10:12] <Brandon420^> unimatrix9: Nah man. I have chcked it. All the volumes are up and it is NOT muted.
[10:12] <iFries> Jowi: Yes, I do. gparted, is that something I have in my ubuntu installation defaultly ?
[10:12] <Jowi> !gparted
[10:12] <ubotu> GParted is is a !GUI partitioning program. Type  sudo apt-get install gparted  in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[10:12] <LjL> lauriexxx: hardly.
[10:12] <LjL> lauriexxx: unless you installed stuff (drivers for instance) not from the official repositories
[10:12] <unimatrix9> Brandon420 open terminal and type lspci , see what card it is
[10:12] <iFries> Jowi: Thanks :)
[10:12] <Voyage_> LjL i have a winmodem. i was dl build to actually install winmodem. its driver. i cant use apt or package manager
[10:13] <Jowi> iFries, no prob :)
[10:13] <Brandon420^> !spci
[10:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about spci - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:13] <Brandon420^> ok
[10:13] <LjL> !offline > Voyage_    (Voyage_, see the private message from Ubotu)
[10:13] <teamwork_> is there a graphical rcconf program?
[10:13] <lauriexxx> LjL: but i m sucha pathetic little newb
[10:13] <unimatrix9> thats lspci
[10:13] <unimatrix9> an l like in leslie
[10:13] <LjL> lauriexxx, what video card do you have again?
[10:13] <Brandon420^> oh
[10:13] <Brandon420^> ok
[10:13] <lauriexxx> LjL: ATI unfortunately
[10:13] <unimatrix9> !lspci
[10:13] <Paddy_EIRE> could someone tell me why when I go to ntfs configuration tool it loads up nicely and shows that I have "/dev/sda2" which is a vista install, then when I tick the box to enable support and add a mount point such as "/media/windows" it gives me this error "/media/windows" contains an invalid character please choose a name not a directory???
[10:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about lspci - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:14] <Brandon420^> Would what it be listed? Multimedia Controller
[10:14] <Brandon420^> ?
[10:14] <unimatrix9> yes i guess so
[10:14] <LjL> lauriexxx: then type  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , when asked about the driver select "ati", and leave the other sensible defaults alone.
[10:14] <lauriexxx> LjL: I m going to try and install a kubuntu desktop to get x working, do you think this will work?
[10:14] <tao4mike> hmm...I recreated my profile and because my profile is stored on a seperate partition I browsed for it.  at which point it asked for my password and um...I suppose "mounted" that partition?  anyhow now my thunderbird works as well which has it's profile on the same partition.  so maybe it was because the partition wasn't mounted?  is there a way to automatically mount that partition when I log on?  thanks!
[10:14] <Brandon420^>  Multimedia audio controller: Rockwell International Unknown device 4310
[10:14] <Brandon420^> unimatrix9:
[10:15] <unimatrix9> lauriexxx , that wont work , you need to setup the xorg first
[10:15] <LjL> lauriexxx: eh? what does installing kubuntu-desktop have to do with X?
[10:15] <aricz> Hi, uhm, how do I access my cdrom ? :)
[10:15] <Mustang_Matt> How can I type spanish letters in ubuntu?
[10:15] <unimatrix9> Brandon420, its an onboard device? whats the board brand , do you know that?
[10:15] <Mustang_Matt> WIthout changing my keyboard layout.
[10:16] <Brandon420^> unimatrix9: I sure don't. This computer is very old. Its a hewlette packard pc.
[10:16] <sebas_> Mustang_Matt:what is the difference between the spanish and your letters?
[10:16] <Mustang_Matt> sebas_: the accents, etc.
[10:16] <lauriexxx> LjL: as i said, i really am a novice with ubuntu, this is only my second year...
[10:16] <unimatrix9> Brandon420 , the best solution would be to buy an cheap sound card that works with ubuntu..
[10:16] <Mustang_Matt> sebas_: I'd show you but I can't type them :)
[10:17] <unimatrix9> got an free pci slot?
[10:17] <LjL> lauriexxx: why don't you just do what i suggested?
[10:17] <Brandon420^> Nah they are all booked up.
[10:17] <unimatrix9> Brandon420 : your onboard card is not supported i guess..
[10:17] <sebas_> Mustang_Matt: System>Preferences>Keyboard>Layouts
[10:17] <LjL> Mustang_Matt: i'm pretty sure GNOME has an applet you can add to the panel to insert characters
[10:17] <lauriexxx> LjL: i doing, I doing
[10:17] <Brandon420^> unimatrix9: When I use alsamixer. It says Riptide on the top
[10:18] <Brandon420^> but when I use the lspci it says Rockwell
[10:18] <Brandon420^> I think my sound card and modem are together.
[10:18] <unimatrix9> Brandon420 :  i think you are right
[10:18] <unimatrix9> do you use the modem?
[10:18] <pipatron> NP: Rockwell - Somebody's Watching Me
[10:18] <Brandon420^> nah, ethernet.
[10:18] <Brandon420^> ;)
[10:18] <aricz> Hi, trying again.. I have 1 CDROM and 1 CD-/DVDROM.. the dvdrom I'm pretty sure still works, but, because of hardwareproblems, I can't open it anymore.. so I have to access my CDROM instead.. but where? and how? Do I have to uninstall the CD-/DVDROM first?
[10:19] <lauriexxx> LjL: this is the 3 rd time i ve busted my x server, whenever i have to reconfigure X, i just don't understand the options it gives me,
[10:19] <Voyage_> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/Lucent doenst works for me. can you tell why? i have modules in synaptic or adept. but it says no ltmodem module found. and 10-local.rules says at boot that its invalid.
[10:19] <ice9> is there a server irc channel for ubuntu
[10:19] <lauriexxx> LjL: this is the 3 rd time i ve busted my x server, whenever i have to reconfigure X, i just don't understand the options it gives me,
[10:19] <unimatrix9> Brandon420 :  where is your sound system plugged in? is that on the modem?
[10:19] <unimatrix9> speakers
[10:20] <Scunizi> ice9,your in it
[10:20] <Mustang_Matt> LjL: That would be perfect, any idea of what I should look for?
[10:20] <Brandon420^> Nah. But it has a wire running from where I plug in the audio jacks down to the modem.
[10:20] <ice9> is the new enterprise server out yet or no
[10:20] <Brandon420^> like the outputs are on top and the modem is on the bottom
[10:20] <yann> hi
[10:20] <hydan> i've " ln -sf ~/.xinitrc .xsession ", is there a way to go back to the original ubuntu settings?
[10:20] <lauriexxx> LjL: OK, got X server back up, but very low quality, is there no way to get the original values back?
[10:20] <phil56> I need some one to help me with ssh tunneling
[10:20] <LjL> Mustang_Matt, i don't remember the name, and i don't use GNOME... but just right click on the panel and "Add applet". if it's not called "character selector", it'll be called something guessable anyway.
[10:21] <ice9> the nvidia drivers hate my TV
[10:21] <arch_> I've got 2 dvd drives. on one of them I can play dvds, on the second not. hardware is good 2 go. any ideas ?
[10:21] <hydan> brb, i've got an idea.
[10:21] <unimatrix9> Brandon420 :  i cant see your system, but here is what you could do, take out the modem, you dont need it so dont use it..gives you place for other things too..
[10:21] <LjL> lauriexxx: not that i know of. define "low quality"
[10:21] <yann> I'm desperately hunting for the installation guide - could someone kindly give an URL ?
[10:21] <ice9> the only way I can see my x is if I am remote session via nx or vnc
[10:21] <Brandon420^> unimatrix9: I think you are right. Im going to go to walmart and buy a soundcard.
[10:21] <Brandon420^> thanks dude
[10:21] <unimatrix9> Brandon420 :  see if you have got an other sound card on the motherboard
[10:21] <Jowi> arch_, try with mplayer and specify the dvd-rom device
[10:21] <phil56> I need some one to help me with ssh tunneling
[10:22] <unimatrix9> if not
[10:22] <ice9> I wish ubuntu had support for hd tv's
[10:22] <hydan> that worked :)
[10:22] <ice9> bigger then 50 inches
[10:22] <unimatrix9> buy an cheap sound card \
[10:22] <LjL> yann: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - See also !automate
[10:22] <lauriexxx> LjL: it is very blured, and not as clear as it yous'ed tobe.
[10:22] <pipatron> phil56: That's not an ubuntu problem I think?
[10:22] <godtvisken> Is Pidgin not in the repos yet?
[10:22] <ice9> !server
[10:22] <unimatrix9> Brandon420 :  what country do you live?
[10:22] <Jowi> arch_, that way you will know if there is a problem with the device name in other media players or not.
[10:22] <arch_> Jowi: I did tried. on one of the drives works OK, the second doesn't
[10:22] <PurpZeY> godtvisken: No, you have to compile it. It's not hard.
[10:22] <seamus7> Are session similar to the profile concept ... so I could save a multi-media session for instance in which Amarok, GIMP and Azureus would all start up upon log in??? How do I specificall create a new session and name it?
[10:22] <unimatrix9> sweex has some cheap sound card that work
[10:23] <yann> ljl: I'm specifically looking for the install guide reffered to by http://codebrowse.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubiquity/trunk/annotate/?file_id=README-20051205083553-550dab3cb68ad622 - I thought it had to be an official one
[10:23] <Jowi> arch_, might be a faulty drive then.
[10:23] <LjL> lauriexxx: LCD screen?
[10:23] <arch_> Jowi: i tried "mplayer dvd://", and it doesn't work. the drive is good, works on windows and I can see the data on the dvd.
[10:24] <hydan> i clicked on "select session" while in gdm, and then selected "Gnome," and there was an option to make it my default desktop. problem solved :)
[10:24] <unimatrix9> Brandon420 :  for example this one http://www.com4.nl/shop.asp?action=prodinfo&cat=17&prodid=2372
[10:24] <Scunizi> phil56, anyone get back to you yet?
[10:24] <phil56> noo
[10:24] <lauriexxx> LJL: yes on a toshiba satelite L30 -!05
[10:24] <Corvinis-V> howcome when I do a lamp install it sticks at Do you want to continue [Y/n] ? after I typed Y and pressed ENTER
[10:24] <Jowi> arch_, did you specify the dvd device?
[10:24] <LjL> !documentation | yann, then this i guess
[10:25] <arch_> Jowi: just by  dvd://
[10:25] <Scunizi> phil56, putting a nick in the reply will make my computer beep and highlight message.  Easy 1st 4 char of nick then tab to complete
[10:25] <Jowi> arch_, like this "mplayer -dvd-device /dev/the_other_dvd_player dvd://"
[10:25] <LjL> lauriexxx: you need to use it in its native resolution, otherwise it'll appear blurry. run  sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg , and make sure the monitor's native resolution is selected. if you don't know what it is, check the manual
[10:25] <ubotu> yann, then this i guess: 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
[10:25] <Scunizi> phil56, so is this for inside a lan or from outside to inside?
[10:26] <unimatrix9> Brandon420 :  here a list off all supported cards https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsSoundCards
[10:26] <yann> hm...
[10:26] <phil56> @scunizi ,I need help with the tunneling thing.I have utorrent's web service running unsecured.I need to ssh tunnel this thing.Someone at the forums told me to use the SSH -L option but I have a few more queries
[10:27] <clive> is there anyone using ubuntu 7.03 fiesty?
[10:27] <amigappc> im back
[10:27] <unimatrix9> hallo wouter , hoe gaat ie?
[10:27] <Scunizi> phil56, I'm not real good with ssh but ask away!
[10:27] <p1ls> hey how can i download a man page for special program?
[10:27] <seamus7> Anyone use Sessions to create multiple startup groups???
[10:27] <lwizardl> hi
[10:27] <phil56> Scunizi: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=464233 The thread I started
[10:27] <Jowi> arch_, the reason you need to do this is because most programs use /dev/dvd as default, but the problem is that only one drive can be linked to /dev/dvd. so you must specify the device in mplayer.
[10:28] <Scunizi> phil56, k... I'll look at it.
[10:28] <lwizardl> anyone use beryl?
[10:28] <clive> anyone have problems with 7.03 when starting up?
[10:28] <unimatrix9> the road to freedom is no easy road...
[10:28] <unimatrix9> "P
[10:28] <p1ls> lwizard1, #beryl
[10:28] <amigappc> @pov im not registered
[10:28] <POVaddct> amigappc: then do it
[10:29] <komtd> lwizardl, i do
[10:29] <p1ls> hey how can i download a man page for special program?
[10:29] <mc44> clive: it's 7.04, and you need to be more specific about what problems :)
[10:29] <Eleaf> hello, my time keeps getting messed up.  I have it set to use a ntp server in the time/date preferences, but it doesn't actually do it?
[10:29] <Jowi> p1ls, the man page should be installed with the program already.
[10:29] <Eleaf> If I hit "sync once" in the time/date preferences, it goes to the correct date, but ubuntu never actually syncs automatically to the ntp time servers.
[10:29] <Scunizi> phil56, have you tried https:// etc instead of http ?
[10:29] <arch_> Jowi: I tried " mplayer -dvd-device /dev/hdd" and " mplayer -dvd-device /dev/hdd" and none works
[10:29] <p1ls> Jowi, so when i download a special program it prolly will download man for it?
[10:30] <Scunizi> phil56, https is for secure.. and tunnels I believe.
[10:30] <unimatrix9> is there an program for ubuntu like deepfreeze , to lock it down?
[10:30] <Eleaf> arch_, that's not where your dvd player would be
[10:30] <arch_> Eleaf: where then?
[10:30] <p1ls> anyone knows with what program i can install image of .bin?
[10:30] <Greythanis> test
[10:30] <mc44> failed
[10:30] <Eleaf> arch_, maybe /media/cdrom or /dev/cdrom
[10:30] <Jowi> p1ls, if you install the program with apt/synaptic/dpkg or compile it yourself then most of the time you will get the manpage as well. if you don't you should complain to the author of the program or see if there is something you missed.
[10:31] <SillyZ> Greeting, fresh new test install of ubuntu here and planning on dumping winhosed as quickly as possible, ... I have a 160g drive, and was debating on system (root / ) and /home allocation, any suggestions for system size?
[10:31] <phil56> Scunizi: Nope,it doesn't support https :(
[10:31] <BobbyBuntu> evening all. I have an issue where the lappy doesn't wake up from sleep properly. I get the login window, the trackpad works, but there's no keyboard input possible. Any ideas?
[10:31] <craig__> I'm using xubuntu and for some reason my "start" menu is gone.  I'm also stuck in 640X480 I think, and Settings -> Display Settings doesn't allow me to select from different display settings.
[10:31] <clive> when 7.04 starts it stalls. I have to reset it 2 or 3 times before it finally loads up.
[10:31] <_Codeman_> I'm having trouble with brctl, I created a bridge and a few minutes later my wifi connection stopped responding and the other computer (connected to the hub on the other end of eth0) still doesn't get internet so I restarted this computer (where I set up the bridge) and now the bridge is gone and still no net on the other computer
[10:31] <Scunizi> phil56, that would have been too easy..I'll do some reading.. brb

[10:32] <arch_> Eleaf: I tried them as well "mplayer -dvd-device /media/cdrom0/", no luck. and the drive is mounted as /media/cdrom0
[10:32] <clive> mc44 did you get my message
[10:32] <Eleaf> weird, does anybody know how to get the time to automatically set during boot in ubuntu?
[10:32] <unimatrix9> arch_ whats on the dvd?
[10:32] <Eleaf> I have it set to use the ntp time servers, but it doesn't ever.
[10:32] <Jowi> arch_, I see the problem. when playing a DVD you must NOT mount it first!
[10:33] <mc44> clive: where does it "stall"?
[10:33] <Eleaf> it's about 13 hours off
[10:33] <p1ls> anyone knows with what program i can install image of .bin?
[10:33] <unimatrix9> arch_ does it auto mount? and show files
[10:33] <NET||abuse> Hi all, i'm plugging in certain usb drives and not getting write permission on my desktop user,
[10:33] <SillyZ> Eleaf use an ntp server
[10:33] <Eleaf> Jowi, dvd's are mounted automatically
[10:33] <Scunizi> phil56, I think I understand what the poster was trying to get at on the forums.  Let's go private for longer posts.
[10:33] <mc44> p1ls: what are you trying to install?
[10:33] <clive> right at the beginning after the grub screen.
[10:33] <Jowi> Eleaf, only in gnome :)
[10:33] <LjL> Eleaf: is ntpd installed?
[10:33] <p1ls> trying to burn a cd with .bin tyoe
[10:33] <Eleaf> SillyZ, I do, ubuntu doesn't listen to it.  I have it set to use a ntp server.
[10:33] <arch_> Jowi: but it's mounted as soon as I put the dvd in the drive. I'll give it another try.
[10:33] <LjL> Eleaf, if it's off by that much, it won't get adjusted by NTP anyway
[10:33] <mc44> !burn | p1ls
[10:33] <ubotu> p1ls: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus cd burner (Gnome), gtoaster, xcdroast, cdrecord (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
[10:33] <Eleaf> LjL, couldn't find package
[10:34] <Jowi> arch_, umount the dvd. then try again. (or turn off automatic mounts in gnome)
[10:34] <craig__> I'm using xubuntu and for some reason my "start" menu is gone.  I'm also stuck in 640X480 I think, and Settings -> Display Settings doesn't allow me to select from different display settings.
[10:34] <Scunizi> phil56, I've got a channel open...
[10:34] <Eleaf> LjL, if I hit sync now, in the gnome time preferences, it goes to the correct time.
[10:34] <unimatrix9> arch_  just go in the files and find the .vob ( if its an movie )
[10:34] <lwizardl> how do i enable the beryl plugin?
[10:34] <craig__> I'm more worried about the 640x480 bit
[10:34] <Eleaf> But after I sleep or restart, the time gets messed up again LjL
[10:34] <lwizardl> on 7.04
[10:34] <LjL> Eleaf: adjusting the clock too abruptly can have weird consequences, so NTP adjusts it in very small increments. it will take days before it matches up, if it starts with a 13 hours mismatch =)
[10:34] <thirdy> is there a system restore like in xp?
[10:34] <mobbol> does anyone has an idea how to make all these buttons and text smaller on my ubuntu? I switched from windows.. same resoltution as now (1280x1024), but it is all bigger and there is almost no space on my screen ;)
[10:34] <arch_> Jowi: I can only eject it not unmount (at least from nautilus)
[10:34] <unimatrix9> thirdy : alas not
[10:34] <thirdy> none?
[10:35] <arch_> unimatrix9: it is a movie, Tarantino's 4 rooms :)
[10:35] <Elfboy> ok how do i make it show me my ip abby
[10:35] <Eleaf> LjL, lol.  But the time seems to be moving at normal speed, it's at 8:34 am right now, it should be at 2:34
[10:35] <thirdy> I messed up my xfce
[10:35] <SillyZ> elfboy ifconfig
[10:35] <Elfboy> thanbk you
[10:35] <SillyZ> np
[10:35] <Eleaf> LjL, can't I have it sync every time the computer starts and every minute or something?
[10:35] <thirdy> unimatrix9, how can I fix my desktop?
[10:35] <LjL> Eleaf, you won't notice the "speedup".
[10:35] <xplode_me> Hi guys
[10:35] <teamwork_> what module should I blacklist to turn off cpu frequency scaling?
[10:35] <Eleaf> LjL, it will just randomly go to the correct time?
[10:35] <unimatrix9> arch_ find the biggest vob file and try to play it, with mplayer
[10:35] <clive> how do you format your drive from scratch
[10:36] <LjL> Eleaf, not if it desyncs that badly. you need to find out why it does
[10:36] <unimatrix9> or so
[10:36] <mobbol> Teamwork : amd or intel?
[10:36] <LjL> Eleaf: not randomly...
[10:36] <Eleaf> LjL, the cmos battery is bad?
[10:36] <xplode_me> anyone having problems with open office impress on feisty? Everytime I open it, OOo crashes,  and i can't really use it at all :(
[10:36] <Elfboy> ok will that work for wierless too
[10:36] <NET||abuse> ahhh, how do i allow read/write on an ntfs formatted usb drive?
[10:36] <Eleaf> LjL, there has to be a way to sync the time and not have to wait for hours for it to do it automatically.  It works fine if I do "sync now".
[10:36] <LjL> Eleaf: could be, but then you'd notice the BIOS getting reset at each boot
[10:36] <NET||abuse> can anyone help me?
[10:36] <Eleaf> LjL, it doesn't really have a bios (iBook)
[10:37] <mobbol> NET||abuse: install ntfs tools, and then mount -t nfts /dev/your-device -o rw
[10:37] <Scunizi> phil56, you still around?
[10:37] <Jowi> !ntfs | NET||abuse
[10:37] <Elfboy> SillyZ, : thanks but im wierles and it dont show it
[10:37] <aricz> Hello, can anyone help me getting my CD-ROM working?
[10:37] <ubotu> NET||abuse: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[10:37] <LjL> Eleaf, you could hack something together, for sure, but as i said, NTP doesn't update the time at once because it can have unwanted consequences. i don't assume i know better than NTP ;)
[10:37] <clive> mc44 how can you wipe your drive with a fresh partition?
[10:37] <bayziders> How do you set an image as your terminal background?
[10:37] <Eleaf> LjL, but ntp just doesn't work automatically. ntpd doesn't exist, are you thinking of ntpdate package?
[10:37] <Elfboy> use parted
[10:37] <LjL> Eleaf: if you know that your battery is dead, alright, but i'd try making sure that's the cause first
[10:38] <_Codeman_> Can anyone help my with brctl?
[10:38] <LjL> Eleaf: no, i was thinking of "ntp" i think
[10:38] <Eleaf> LjL, I just want it to sync automatically, instead of me having to manually ntp sync
[10:38] <NET||abuse> Jowi, mobbol , thank you..
[10:38] <Elfboy> i think parted is better
[10:38] <BobbyBuntu> evening all. I have an issue where the lappy doesn't wake up from sleep properly. I get the login window, the trackpad works, but there's no keyboard input possible. Any ideas?
[10:38] <mc44> clive: you can use gparted
[10:38] <Eleaf> I thought that was the purpose of ntp, to stay synced with a network time server ;)
[10:38] <jul_lebou> whats the best irc client for linux?
[10:38] <bayziders> gaim
[10:38] <Eleaf> LjL, yes, ntp is installed
[10:38] <_Codeman_> xchat
[10:38] <allan__> hello

[10:38] <Corvinis-V> I'm using konversation....
[10:39] <allan__> can someone help me install cspace
[10:39] <allan__> please
[10:39] <allan__> id really appreciate it
[10:39] <LjL> Eleaf, its purpose is not to compensate for a hardware clock that desyncs by 13 hours at a time. its purpose is just to adjust for small time changes.
[10:39] <Greythanis> has anyone tested this parallel desktop thing?
[10:39] <Corvinis-V> it's pretty nice for people that are used to mirc
[10:39] <LjL> !enter | allan__
[10:39] <ubotu> allan__: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[10:39] <Eleaf> LjL, this is the error I get from 'ntpdate' :  4 Jun 08:38:55 ntpdate[7012] : no servers can be used, exiting
[10:39] <jul_lebou> konversation is good yeah, but does it crashes sometimes with you too?
[10:39] <phil56> Scunizi: I sent you a message!Did you get that?
[10:39] <clive> is that something that can fit on a floppy?
[10:39] <LjL> Eleaf: that is normal if you don't specify any servers.
[10:39] <rescon> i just used the synaptic package manager to download bitchx.. now how do i go about running bitchx?
[10:39] <allan__> ok
[10:39] <Eleaf> LjL, it can't just sync up to the denver time zone and be done with it?
[10:39] <allan__> can anybody help me
[10:39] <Scunizi> phil56, nope.. are u using xchat?
[10:39] <allan__> ?
[10:39] <Eleaf> I don't even know if the iBook has a hardware clock LjL  ;)
[10:39] <Greythanis> has anyone tested this parallel desktop thing?
[10:40] <bayziders> How do you set a image as your terminal back ground?
[10:40] <phil56> Scunizi:  yes
[10:40] <incorperated> ?
[10:40] <aricz> rescon : Uhm.. 'BitchX' ?
[10:40] <mc44> clive: if you have an ubuntu cd you can use that
[10:40] <rescon> yes
[10:40] <LjL> Eleaf: of course it does, every computer made after 1990 or so has one...
[10:40] <jul_lebou> konversation is good yeah, but does it crashes sometimes with you too?
[10:40] <Scunizi> phil56, look on the left of the screen and you should see my nick under the "Freenode" label.. click that
[10:40] <incorperated> can anybody help me or not
[10:40] <clive> do i have to run it from boot or from X
[10:40] <unimatrix9> allan_ are you   sure that cspace runs on ubuntu?
[10:40] <_Codeman_> Any bridge-utils gurus?
[10:40] <LjL> Eleaf: i assume you aren't dual booting?
[10:41] <incorperated> yes
[10:41] <incorperated> do you know what cspace is?
[10:41] <Eleaf> LjL, no dual boot
[10:41] <POVaddct> !wifi

[10:41] <incorperated> http://cspace.in/~dan/
[10:42] <incorperated> there you go
[10:42] <incorperated> check it out
[10:42] <rescon> ANYONE?
[10:42] <arch_> Jowi: no matter the drive it is in. so I guess I mess up somewhere
[10:42] <Scunizi> phil56, nope..
[10:42] <rescon> oops sorry
[10:42] <incorperated> i need help with the dependencies
[10:42] <Eleaf> LjL, it just doesn't seem to sync with the ntp servers.
[10:42] <incorperated> pretty much the whole thing
[10:42] <Eleaf> LjL, if I sync once, the computer will be completely fine as long as it isn't restarted
[10:42] <Eleaf> the date then stays in sync
[10:43] <Jowi> arch_, ok, so you can not play a DVD from any drive? I thought it was only from one of them? did you install libdvdcss?
[10:43] <LjL> Eleaf: sure, since you have ntpd running.
[10:43] <Eleaf> it just seems like the ntp gnome preference thing doesn't work or something..
[10:43] <mc44> rescon: alt-f2, bitchx

[10:43] <oooc> im running ubuntu 6.10 live cd on laptop. ive just done a fresh install of 7.04 on computer. i think my wifi usb was detected. ive found my network, and the stick blinks but i cant connect. what should i try?
[10:43] <kitche> Eleaf: your bios time might be wrong I had to adjust mine so it was correct
[10:44] <Eleaf> kitche, I don't have a bios
[10:44] <phil56> Scunizi: are you on jabber or something?
[10:44] <aricz> Hullu, how do I get my CD-ROM working? I have 1.storage_model_TSSTcorpCD/DVDW_TS_H552B and 2.storage_model_SONY_CD_RW_CRX160E .. now, the DVDROM has always worked out, but, for some reason it doesn't want to OPEN anymore (hw-probs).. so tralala, I have to use my CD-ROM instead, which I've never been able to access. Question is, how do I get access to my CD-ROM ? Help would be appreciated.. of course :|
[10:44] <LjL> Eleaf: this is a hack: edit /etc/rc.local, and before the "exit 0" line, add  ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com 
[10:44] <eetfuk> my laptop has Unichrome graphics, and im using OpenChrome,but i cant get them to work, glxinfo return "X Error of failed request:  BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)"
[10:44] <BobbyBuntu> oooc: an encryption issue? try reverting to open and see if it works... then build from there
[10:44] <Eleaf> LjL, I selected another time server and the time is correct now.
[10:44] <teamwork> how can I keep ubuntu from trying to bring up eth0 at boot?
[10:44] <Scunizi> phil56, nope xchat..anyway here's what I typed....By initiating ssh -L 62402:localhost:62402 host (that's the address or ip of the host) then going to your browser and entering localhost:62402 (enter) in the address line, it loops the request through ssh to the address/ip identified.
[10:44] <lauriexxx> LjL: i have tried what you recommended, but the screen is still really blured,  am still contemplating with a fresh install, do you have any other recomendations?
[10:44] <arch_> Jowi: using the command "mplayer -dvd-device /media/cdrom0/" or cdrom1 I can't play no matter which drive I use. from the gui I can play dvds only from one drive, never from the second one.
[10:44] <unimatrix9> going to get some sleep, bye everyone..
[10:44] <Eleaf> LjL, it's funny because whenever i change the time, the screen goes black and all audio stops ;p
[10:44] <oooc> nope. i reseted router. its the default network name.
[10:45] <kitche> Eleaf: what is this on if you don't have a bios?
[10:45] <hjmills> does anybody know where the azureus icons are located - I want to change them to gnomish ones
[10:45] <LjL> Eleaf: and remove ntpd from init.d, as it will stop ntpdate from running
[10:45] <Jowi> eetfuk, depends on the chipset. the "via" driver should have dri enabled (for via chipsets that is)
[10:45] <AmirB> hey, how do I uninstall microsoft office 2003 that I installed using Crossover Linux?
[10:45] <LjL> Eleaf: funny? i did mention "unwanted consequences" didn't i
[10:45] <Eleaf> kitche, it's a mac
[10:45] <LjL> lauriexxx: no
[10:45] <Eleaf> LjL, no, it does that whenever I use the gnome preferences
[10:45] <phil56> Scunizi: I got that message.Strange that you didn't get  mine
[10:45] <Jowi> arch_, -dvd-device need the device name, not the mount path
[10:45] <unimatrix9> bye lorenzo
[10:45] <BobbyBuntu> oooc: sorry, I'm a bit new to this too :/
[10:45] <Eleaf> LjL, it's always done that
[10:45] <unimatrix9> :P
[10:45] <oooc> wmaster0 and wlan0 ? why are there 2
[10:45] <oooc> ok
[10:45] <LjL> :P
[10:45] <_Codeman_> Can anyone please tell my why brctl would kill my wifi connection?
[10:45] <arch_> Jowi: all required software is installed, I just finished watching the dvd and wanted to track down the issue.
[10:45] <Central> Hello everyone, just installed ubuntu.. uhm can anyone help me out, getting some stuff started?
[10:46] <Scunizi> phil56, yep.. ever try irssi?  pretty cool terminal irc prog.
[10:46] <hjmills> Central, sure - what with?
[10:46] <oooc> in the network properties i have wlan0 and wmaster0. this isnt in 6.10
[10:46] <Eleaf> LjL, why is it not default to just keep the time in sync with the server and not allow the clock to get out of sync?
[10:46] <mc44> Central: like what? :)
[10:46] <eetfuk> Jowi, i think my card is VN800, not sure about the chipset thought
[10:46] <BobbyBuntu> Central: what do you need?
[10:46] <kitche> Eleaf: just wondering, well a mac should have a bios, since computers need a bios to even run
[10:46] <Eleaf> LjL, it seems like the whole purpose of ntp, to keep the clocks exactly the same
[10:46] <AmirB> how do I uninstall microsoft office 2003 that I installed using Crossover Linux?
[10:46] <Eleaf> kitche, not really..  you never see the bios ;p
[10:46] <hjmills> Central, This is great: https://help.ubuntu.com/
[10:46] <LjL> Eleaf: i think i told you already...
[10:47] <Eleaf> LjL, you said it keeps it updated kinda slowly, or something like that:  which doesn't make much sense.
[10:47] <Jowi> arch_, again an example "mplayer -dvd-device /dev/hda dvd://" or "mplayer -dvd-device /dev/dvd dvd://" (if those examples does not work then I do not know what's up)
[10:47] <LjL> Eleaf: the point of NTP is that, *given a working hardware clock*, it will keep it from drifting away (since no clock is quite perfect, especially PC clocks). it's *not* intended to adjust for shift of hours.
[10:47] <oooc> since the default thingy in ubuntu isnt working for me. is there another way i can get my wifi to connect?
[10:48] <Central> hjmills: I send you some private messages
[10:48] <lauriexxx> Central: what do you want to know? what did you choose?
[10:48] <oooc> ive heard of ndiswrapper and windows wireless drivers. how can i get/enable these
[10:48] <hjmills> Central, sure
[10:48] <jart> i just apt-get'd mysql-server on edgy, started using it, created a test table, and now i'm inserting data... the inserts are going about 20 a second and mysql is not using up any cpu.  is there some sort of throttling set up in ubuntu for mysql?
[10:48] <Spec> So, does anyone here know of a virtual server hosting provider that hosts Ubuntu virtual servers that are nice and on the cheap-side?
[10:48] <LjL> Eleaf: it makes a lot of sense, since changing the time by something that isn't just a couple of seconds can have UNWANTED CONSEQUENCES, such as services crashing and programs starting to misbehave.
[10:48] <Central> well U'm I installed it on a computer that was running XP
[10:48] <Ropechoborra> Is there a way i can connect trough internet to a ssh server that is in a LAN
[10:48] <lauriexxx> oooc: i think through synaptic, but beware, the road is long a weary
[10:48] <phil56> Scunizi: my UI url is at http://59.93.102.150:62402/gui/   type guest for username and leave the password blank
[10:48] <rollerskatejamms> How can I disable avahi?
[10:48] <AmirB> how do I uninstall microsoft office 2003 that I installed using Crossover Linux?
[10:48] <LjL> Eleaf: any modern Unix system, and all its NTP accessories, assume that your hardware clock *works*
[10:48] <Central> SO I already had 3 partitions and installed it on another then windows
[10:48] <Eleaf> LjL, then it sould be synced at boot, not sure how it would slowly sync clocks
[10:49] <Central> it's working fine
[10:49] <oooc> its really strange hoe ubuntu recognises my card but wont connect? there is no password for the network im trying to connect to
[10:49] <Eleaf> the hardware clock works fine once the time is synced LjL
[10:49] <Central> but I have 2 screens and I'd like em to work :P
[10:49] <lauriexxx> oooc: what process do you have?
[10:49] <hjmills> Central, well the partitions are fine if both work
[10:49] <eetfuk> Jowi, thanks it worked
[10:49] <NeuraL> ubuntu rocks!
[10:49] <hjmills> Central, what graphics card do you have?
[10:49] <arch_> Jowi: wow, the following command works: "mplayer -dvd-device /dev/hdc dvd://" thanks.
[10:49] <oooc> sorry what do u mean?
[10:49] <rollerskatejamms> NeuraL: yes it does!
[10:49] <LjL> Eleaf, we're running in circles. your hardware clock obviously does NOT work fine since it's off by 13 hours after booting.
[10:49] <oooc> im fairly new to ubuntu
[10:49] <NeuraL> ;-)
[10:49] <Jowi> eetfuk, you're welcome
[10:49] <Eleaf> thanks LjL , I'll see if it syncs now.
[10:49] <Central> How do I check? It's a Gforce 7900GS or something.
[10:50] <LjL> Eleaf: *after* the system has booted, the hardware clock is *not* used anymore
[10:50] <Jowi> arch_, you're welcome too :)
[10:50] <ryanakca> is there a way to make certain apps take just a certain amount of system ressources?
[10:50] <hjmills> Central, then its Nvidia?
[10:50] <LjL> Eleaf: when the system is running, Linux keeps a *software* clock.
[10:50] <EADG> Ropechoborra: You will have to port forward on the lan's router then connect with ssh i.p.addy -p 1234
[10:50] <oooc> i dont understand what is process
[10:50] <Central> yeah
[10:50] <lauriexxx> oooc: what processor do you have, or which wireless card do you have?
[10:50] <Eleaf> LjL, I see.  I think it also gets out of sync when the computer is sleeping.
[10:50] <Spec> Central: lspci -v |grep -i force
[10:50] <Jowi> Central, didn't you just order from shipit yesterday!? :D
[10:50] <hjmills> Central, ok, if you go to System>Preferences>Desktop Effects
[10:50] <kitche> LjL: my bios clock was setup to GMT time lol couldn't fiugre it out hwy my time was always wrong in linux until I looked at my bios
[10:50] <Central> yes I did, but my friend gave me a CD
[10:50] <oooc> ok. i have a intel p4 3.ghz and a belkin g usb wifi
[10:50] <NeuraL> I have just attached my bluetooth dongle and it works perfectly
[10:50] <LjL> kitche: but that only goes if you dual boot.
[10:50] <aricz> Hullu, how do I get my CD-ROM working? I have 1.storage_model_TSSTcorpCD/DVDW_TS_H552B and 2.storage_model_SONY_CD_RW_CRX160E.. both are symlinked (?) in /etc/fstab .. but there's nothing in /media/cdrom0 and /media/cdrom1 .. can anyone please help me?
[10:51] <hjmills> Central, it should say something about needing to install the nvidia driver - say yes and give it your password
[10:51] <Ropechoborra> EADG Thanks, if i dont have access to the router, is there other way ?
[10:51] <Scunizi> phil56, I got it.. So you're hosting and would like someone else to come in securely?
[10:51] <lauriexxx> oooc: have you tried downloading wifi-radar??
[10:51] <phil56> yes
[10:51] <oooc> im not sure what model my belkin stick is. also my processor is like a duo or something.
[10:51] <phil56> me actually
[10:51] <Central> It did not ask a password
[10:51] <kitche> LjL: well I fixed my bios clock and now my time reads correctly all the time if I use a installed system
[10:51] <Central> but it sais I need to reboot
[10:51] <oooc> ill try it. thanks
[10:51] <phil56> Scunizi: since the pasword is sent unsecure
[10:51] <hjmills> Central, after installing the driver?
[10:51] <lauriexxx> oooc: do mean duo core?
[10:52] <sonictwin> when i put a blank cd in and click make audio cd, nothing happens
[10:52] <Central> it said it installed it, but need to reboot to enable it
[10:52] <EADG> Ropechoborra: Not that I'm aware of, but I'm somewhat of a newb :/
[10:52] <phil56> Scunizi: I want this to happen over ssh.simple idea
[10:52] <Scunizi> Is the html for the page run on apache?  (probably a dumb question)
[10:52] <Central> should I reboot now? and come back?
[10:52] <LjL> kitche: there's nothing wrong with the BIOS clock being set to GMT, unless one dual boots with systems that want it set to something else. actually, i think it's the default.
[10:52] <oooc> no its a P4 3.Ghz BUT ITS DOWN TWICE
[10:52] <sonictwin> whats the name of the audio burning app?
[10:52] <oooc> didnt mean to shout
[10:52] <oooc> sorry
[10:52] <Scunizi> phil56, see my post right after your last one.
[10:52] <hjmills> Central, yes, thats fine, go ahead and reboot then come back here - you dont really need desktop effects but it makes the driver installation easier
[10:52] <funkmaster> hi guys, how can i find out which /dev/... my ltp1 port is on?
[10:52] <Central> ok brb
[10:52] <AmirB> how do I uninstall microsoft office 2003 that I installed using Crossover Linux?
[10:53] <lauriexxx> oooc: ok, no need to worry, try sudo apt-get install wifi-radar
[10:53] <phil56> Scunizi: I don't know,utorrent has it's own server actually
[10:53] <lauriexxx> oooc: ndiswrapper is for experienced users i think
[10:53] <arch_> Jowi: now I can play from command line, but the mplayer gui still fails to open the dvd.
[10:53] <sonictwin> i want to burn an audio cd -- what is the name of this app?
[10:54] <phil56> Scunizi: The poster in the thread said that the command has to be exectued on your side as you are the client.So can you try it now if you are free :)
[10:54] <Jowi> arch_, yes. you need to set the correct device in the mplayer gui preferences (I don't know where since I don't use it)
[10:54] <lauriexxx> sonictwin: there are various apps, i like k3b, or gravman
[10:54] <HET2> what's the recommended way to connect to a wpa-psk encrypted wireless network with the most recent ubuntu?
[10:54] <Scunizi> phil.. sure.. hang on.
[10:54] <arch_> Jowi: ok, I'll look there. thanks again
[10:55] <oooc> ok. im going to download wifi radar. put it onto a cd and tranfer it to the computer. thanks
[10:56] <oooc> i cant use sudo apt-get cus im not connected : )
[10:56] <lauriexxx> oooc: there is also kiwi-radar
[10:56] <Central> Hello
[10:56] <hjmills> Central, all ok?
[10:56] <Central> uhm driver seems to be installed
[10:56] <Central> now it did ask me a password
[10:56] <oooc> ok thanks. ill try wifi first. cheers
[10:56] <hjmills> Central, good - now how do you want your two monitors? do you want to clone your desktop or extend your desktop?
[10:57] <Central> extend!!
[10:57] <Central> :D
[10:57] <hjmills> Central, thought so - the logical choice
[10:57] <Scunizi> phil56, nope can't get in
[10:57] <Central> else, what's the point? :)
[10:57] <phil56> Scunizi: does it ask for a pass?
[10:58] <Lilacor> Is there a way to use a .swf file as my background?
[10:58] <Scunizi> phil56, I only get "Unable to connect"
[10:58] <Jowi> Central, to watch a movie in the kitchen :P
[10:58] <Central> jowi, my cables would not be long enough :)
[10:58] <Jowi> Lilacor, no
[10:58] <estoves> Is it possible to get TV-out with the opensource radeon driver?
[10:58] <hjmills> Central, when your bed and PC are at the wrong angle to view films
[10:58] <lauriexxx> HAS anybody got a soluion for reinstalling x server? i know i asked this before, but maybe there
[10:59] <sonictwin> lauriexxx: i'm looking for the default app that comes with ubuntu
[10:59] <sonictwin> (for burning audio discs)
[10:59] <ftp3> hello.. i am new to ubuntu.. i have used debian.. i like the "joe" editor.. and on debian, i just type "apt-get install joe" and it installs it.. it seems that on ubuntu it cannot find "joe"... is there somethign i am doing wrong?
[10:59] <hjmills> Central, ok, now press Alt and F2 to open the run dialog box similar to windows and type in "nvidia-settings"
[10:59] <phil56> Scunizi: aah ,Looks like I have to ask the guys at utorrent .Thanks for your time though.I will ping you back if I need help or if I get the answer!
[10:59] <Central> well I want the extended, to view more stuff, can you help me out?
[10:59] <jrib> lauriexxx: why do you need to reinstall it?
[10:59] <lauriexxx> sonictwin: there is serpentine in that case
[10:59] <hjmills> sonictwin, serpentine?
[11:00] <kitche> phil56: well they might not help you if you run utorrent in wine
[11:00] <Scunizi> phil56, np,  you might want to look at what I just found.. http://www.csociety.org/~sigos/projects/ssh/forwarding/
[11:00] <sonictwin> sweet, thanks guys
[11:00] <sonictwin> i didnt have that installed for some reason
[11:00] <Scunizi> phil56, see ya
[11:00] <lauriexxx> jrib: because i did that fatal comand of dpkg reconfigure x server, what a dunce i am thinking i could do it...
[11:00] <jasonpitzlwaters> Hello, I have a question, I'm installing Ubuntu Feisty on a Toshiba Satellite M35 and after a successful install it hangs on GRUB when booting. Is there any place I can find out how to fix this?  I have been looking through the forums to no avail
[11:01] <phil56> Scunizi: Those guys actually say it runs on wine! No problem on that front though.See you soon
[11:01] <jrib> lauriexxx: if you did that command then you have a backup in /etc/X11 or just choose appropriate settings
[11:01] <hjmills> jasonpitzlwaters, check the linux on laptops site to see if anybody knows anything about that laptop
[11:01] <hjmills> Central, ok, now press Alt and F2 to open the run dialog box similar to windows and type in "nvidia-settings"
[11:01] <hjmills> Central, when you do that does a config gui appear?
[11:01] <Central> can't find that file
[11:01] <Ropechoborra> Is there some Distro that can be runned under Windows ? So i can have it in my pendrive and going with my linux arround
[11:01] <LePirlouit> hello,
[11:01] <Central> am I typing it wrong?
[11:01] <LePirlouit> have anyone an ID to resolf my proble :
[11:02] <Central> "nvidea-settings"
[11:02] <LePirlouit> [ 3157.848000]  parport0: cannot grant exclusive access for device ks0108
[11:02] <LePirlouit> [ 3157.848000]  ks0108: ERROR: parport didn't register new device
[11:02] <lauriexxx> jrib: i concur, but i don't actualy know what my appropriate settings should be, if i did, i would not have broken it in the first place...
[11:02] <kitche> Ropechoborra: yes they ar kinda out of date though go to www.linux.org and do a search
[11:02] <eetfuk> beryl: Support for non power of two textures missing
[11:02] <Central> ow yes I was
[11:02] <LePirlouit> google is not my friend
[11:02] <LjL> jrib: it appears from an ls -l that he doesn't have a backup, for some reason.
[11:02] <eetfuk> how fix?
[11:02] <LePirlouit> and the man is very poor
[11:02] <Ropechoborra> kitche ok
[11:02] <Ropechoborra> ty
[11:02] <Central> yes I have the config box now for nvidia
[11:02] <melon> new problem.. wifi thingie - the usb network adapter thingie finally works how i need it to.. except.. it cuts out after about an hour 'n the only way i can reconnect is if i reset the entire pc.. any ideas on what i can do? on dapper.. adapter is belkin..
[11:02] <mage__> Ropechoborra: try running something in an emulator?
[11:02] <hjmills> Central
[11:02] <craigbass1976> Is there a runlevel in dapper by default that is multiuser text, like init3 in RH type linuxes?
[11:03] <Central> yes?
[11:03] <mage__> melon: wireless b?
[11:03] <kitche> Ropechoborra: you vcould use qemu if you wish but need admin writes to use it on a pendrive
[11:03] <melon> g
[11:03] <LjL> ryanakca: /etc/security/limits.conf
[11:03] <jrib> lauriexxx: well pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /etc/X11/xorg.conf and tell us what video card you have
[11:03] <hjmills> Central, can you see two monitors under X Server Display Configuration?
[11:03] <lauriexxx> jrib: i seem to be getting the same anwseallr,that i need to do afresh inst
[11:03] <Central> I have the nvidia config box
[11:03] <mage__> ah, I was going to say the usb wireless b hardware blows
[11:03] <Jowi> eetfuk, I doubt beryl will work with the via chipset since it only provides very simple 3d accelleration. only intel, ati and nvidia supported I think.
[11:03] <melon> or b - lol.. let me look
[11:03] <Central> yes Ido
[11:03] <craigbass1976> I want to boot without running X
[11:03] <hjmills> Central, ok, bear with me while I check something
[11:03] <ryanakca> LjL: thanks
[11:03] <lauriexxx> jrjb: i have a cheap ati card
[11:04] <Central> ok, I'll go get a soda you want 1?
[11:04] <hjmills> Central, lol
[11:04] <mage__> craigbass1976: so dont run X ;) I think its /etc/init.d/gdm or kdm
[11:04] <eetfuk> i had Compiz running, and im not looking for anything heavy, cube desktop and the "expose alike" funtion
[11:04] <_Codeman_> Can someone please help me with bridging?
[11:04] <craigbass1976> mage__, I'm running xubuntu, is that xdm?
[11:05] <mage__> well, you'll only have one *dm
[11:05] <melon> it's 802.11g
[11:05] <mage__> some command like update-rc.d remove xdm
[11:05] <LjL> _Codeman_, i've struggled with it myself for quite a while, and i'm not entirely sure now how i eventually managed to get it working. i can give you the commands i use i suppose, if they might give you a hint
[11:06] <hjmills> Central, ok - you got the soda?
[11:06] <mage__> melon: usually with issues like that the solution is upgrade drivers for it, and in linux that means upgrade your kernel
[11:06] <Central> yes
[11:06] <hjmills> Central, then away we go
[11:06] <Central> you didn't want 1 right?
[11:06] <Zapt> us
[11:06] <Zapt> servus
[11:06] <Zapt> so jetzt
[11:06] <lauriexxx> jrib: i ve tried that, but it says that the file is not found
[11:06] <mage__> _Codeman_: I know how to bridge interfaces manually, no idea on using the ubuntu init system
[11:06] <melon> pretend i have no idea what i'm doing.. just pretend.. update kernel?
[11:06] <melon> lol
[11:06] <hjmills> Central, if you click the save config file button in the bottom right corner and save it to your home folder as xorg.conf
[11:06] <jrib> lauriexxx: tried what?
[11:07] <Lilacor> melon goggles
[11:07] <lauriexxx> jrjb: pastebin etc
[11:07] <mc44> melon: what driver is the card using?
[11:07] <hjmills> Central, thats the save-your-ass backup
[11:07] <Lilacor> melons as big as goggles
[11:07] <mage__> melon: uname -r in a terminal
[11:07] <Central> ok done
[11:07] <hjmills> Central, now we can play as much as we like
[11:07] <Central> hope I'll be able to find it if I need it :S
[11:07] <jrib> lauriexxx: you aren't really being specific which makes it hard to help you.  Does /var/log/Xorg.0.log exist on your system?
[11:07] <Central> I'm sure I will
[11:08] <ramboza_> hello, i'm sorry - how to add the "Run command" item to the Main Menu in 7.0.4? I can only add it to the panel...
[11:08] <simmerz> im looking at upgrading my dapper server to edgy. it is running as a uml guest (that's how i get my hosting). should I do a aptitude upgrade or a dist-upgrade?
[11:08] <hjmills> Central, ok - we will need root privilages for this so we need to reopen the nvidia settings program
[11:08] <_Codeman_> mage__: How do I do it manually?
[11:08] <LjL> _Codeman_: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24128/
[11:08] <melon> 2.6.15-27-386
[11:08] <lauriexxx> jrib:no, sorry,it says file does not exist
[11:08] <gumpish> soooo.... what would happen the the swap partition were suddenly removed from a running system?
[11:08] <mon^rch> hi peeps, can I change the name of a device? ie: I want to make eth2 become eth1...
[11:08] <hjmills> Central, just close it and then press Alt + F2 again and this time enter "gksudo nvidia-settings"
[11:08] <Central> I have it open
[11:08] <jrib> lauriexxx: how about /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[11:08] <Central> ok
[11:08] <hjmills> Central, gksudo will make it run as root so you will need to put in the password
[11:09] <funkmaster> i use ubuntu feisty and it uses init.d i have never used my printerport but now i have a relay card attached to it, but in order to be able to control it i need to specify where it is, first i thought it would be /dev/ttyS0 but i think that is worng, so now i can't find it.. can someone help me please ?
[11:09] <Central> It asked no password
[11:09] <lauriexxx> jrib:yes if i run sudo nano, i can see the file
[11:09] <Central> but I'm in the config box
[11:09] <mage__> uh
[11:09] <hjmills> Central, in the run box?
[11:09] <AmirB> how do I uninstall microsoft office 2003 that I installed using Crossover Linux?
[11:10] <Central> in the nvidia config box
[11:10] <mon^rch> hi peeps, can I change the name of a device? ie: I want to make eth2 become eth1...
[11:10] <mage__> LjL: why are you making separate iptables rules for each computer for NAT?
[11:10] <jrib> lauriexxx: ok, then try to start X again.  After it fails you will have a /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[11:10] <Central> I used gksudo nvidia-settings
[11:10] <Central> in the run box
[11:10] <_Codeman_> THANKS! LjL!
[11:10] <hjmills> Central, ok, go in to X Server Display Configuration and click on the second monitor

[11:11] <ramboza_> hello, i'm sorry - how to add the "Run command" item to the Main Menu in 7.0.4? I can only add it to the panel...
[11:11] <hjmills> Central, now click the configure  button which should bring up a dialog box with three options
[11:11] <LjL> mage__: probably because i have no clue... well, actually i guess it's because those commands used to have an "eth#" for each card, before i set up bridging. what would the proper way be?
[11:12] <vecina> I installed libglut and freeglut, libqt3 and the devs, but g++ says these .so files cant be found. whats up? :/
[11:12] <Jowi> craigbass1976, I guess (I haven't tried with an upstart system) you can remove /etc/rc3.d/S13?dm and then "telinit 3"
[11:12] <lauriexxx> jrib:i do have a x server, but the quality is really blured, it's like looking through a pair of big thick bottle bottomed glasses
[11:12] <Central> twinview would be clone right?
[11:12] <mage__> -s 192.168.0.2/24
[11:12] <phil56> Scunizi: Back again.You know anything about remote desktop's ?
[11:12] <Central> So I need Seperate X?
[11:12] <jrib> lauriexxx: what video driver are you using
[11:12] <lauriexxx> jrib:ATI
[11:13] <simmerz> im looking at upgrading my dapper server to edgy. it is running as a uml guest (that's how i get my hosting). should I do a aptitude upgrade or a dist-upgrade? dist-upgrade shows a number of conflicts
[11:13] <hjmills> Central, nope - go for twinview
[11:13] <Scunizi> PhilKC,  yea.. I use them in my lan all the time
[11:13] <Central> ok
[11:13] <seamus7> Is "Evolution Alarm Notify" an important startup program/daemon?
[11:13] <ramboza_> i'm sorry - how to add the "Run command" item to the Main Menu in 7.0.4? I can only add it to the panel...
[11:13] <seamus7> I don't use Evolution.
[11:13] <Scunizi> phil56, yea, I use then in my lan all the time
[11:13] <mage__> LjL: ohhhhh
[11:13] <Central> can I apply?
[11:13] <jrib> lauriexxx: k, try pastebinning your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.  Someone may spot something
[11:13] <procrastinato1> has anyone got an idea on how to set up wifi with certificate (.cer) authentication?
[11:13] <hjmills> Central, yup - as twinview
[11:14] <mage__> LjL: ideally you create the bridge and iptables will specify the bridge
[11:14] <lauriexxx> jrib:although in my X11 it seems to indicate that he module is glx
[11:14] <Central> YEAH
[11:14] <HoocH_> how do I start terminal as root ? or with root rights ?
[11:14] <phil56> great,I enabled rd in my options .How do I let you see my desktop!
[11:14] <jrib> !root > HoocH_ (see the private message from ubotu)
[11:14] <hjmills> Central, now setup the resolution and the position
[11:14] <phil56> Scunizi: great,I enabled rd in my options .How do I let you see my desktop!
[11:14] <Jowi> HoocH_, "sudo -i"
[11:14] <UNDERsoN> How can I start azureus 3.0.14.jar ?
[11:14] <lauriexxx> jrib:sorry, but could you giv me the exact command, ive never done the pastebinnig before
[11:14] <mage__> LjL: also, why does each computer get its own ethernet card on the server?
[11:14] <Scunizi> phil56, are you running tightvnc? or the built in vnc?
[11:15] <procrastinato1> /name procrastinator
[11:15] <kiersie> were can i find a gpg file for kubuntu.org get?
[11:15] <jrib> !paste > lauriexxx (see the private message from ubotu)
[11:15] <Superstar> hello
[11:15] <pecisk> !rpm
[11:15] <phil56> Scunizi:  the built in one
[11:15] <hjmills> procrastinato1,  /nick?
[11:15] <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)
[11:15] <simmerz> why am i getting conflicts on an upgrade from dapper to edgy?
[11:15] <phil56> I just enabled it
[11:15] <UNDERsoN> How can I run jar file azureus 3.0.14.jar
[11:15] <Scunizi> phil56, and do you have the appropriate ports open on the router forwarded to the machine?
[11:15] <Central> hmm
[11:15] <UNDERsoN> !jar
[11:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about jar - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:15] <UNDERsoN> !java
[11:15] <ubotu> 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
[11:15] <Central> My right screen appears cropped
[11:15] <jrib> UNDERsoN: why not install azureus using synaptic instead?
[11:16] <mon^rch> UNDERsoN: you don't run it... you extract it
[11:16] <hjmills> Central, does it scroll when you mouse over the edges?
[11:16] <phil56> SHould I have to? Which all?would 5900  suffice?
[11:16] <ramboza_> When i right-click on the desktop i don't see the "Open Terminal" Entry any more - why so and how to get it back?..
[11:16] <TakeOut{u}> procrastinato1 , /nick yournick
[11:16] <Chousuke> mon^rch: no you don't
[11:16] <phil56> Scunizi: SHould I have to? Which all?would 5900  suffice?
[11:16] <Chousuke> UNDERsoN: java -jar azureus.jar
[11:16] <UNDERsoN> jrib because in repo is 2.5 ver on official site 3.0
[11:16] <mon^rch> Chousuke: oh? my bad then
[11:16] <Central> no its cropped on the left of my right screen
[11:16] <sabdfl_> does bash have a random number generator?
[11:16] <mc44> ramboza_: for the Run Application thing, you can install gmrun
[11:16] <UNDERsoN> Chousuke Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/cli/CommandLine
[11:16] <kiersie> were can i find a gpg file for kubuntu.org?
[11:16] <Chousuke> UNDERsoN: hmm
[11:17] <jrib> sabdfl_: echo $RANDOM   maybe
[11:17] <Scunizi> phil56, that may do it... do you use ekiga? for voice?
[11:17] <Chousuke> UNDERsoN: I suppose you need the java1.5 from the repos
[11:17] <phil56> Scunizi: No!
[11:17] <BlueEagle> underson: Unless you absolutely need the new features of 3.0 I recomend sticking with the one in the repository.
[11:17] <phil56> I never used it
[11:17] <hjmills> Central, as if the edge of your monitor was hiding it?
[11:17] <Scunizi> phil56, did you set up a password?
[11:17] <phil56> Scunizi: Nope
[11:17] <pecisk> how to uncompress rpm files under Ubuntu without installing them anyone knows?
[11:17] <phil56> Scunizi: just confirmation
[11:17] <hjmills> pecisk, use file-roller?
[11:17] <Scunizi> phil56, k.. I"ll try.. just a sec.
[11:17] <UNDERsoN> CHousuke I should delete 1.6 java or I can Install 2 versions
[11:17] <Central> no
[11:17] <LjL> mage__, heh, because it's my weird little network :) it begun with just the server and another computer, and i saw no need to buy a hub. then a second computer came, and since ethernet cards costed so little, i just got another... and then another... ;) anyway, would this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24129/ be what you're saying?
[11:18] <Central> not all screen is filled
[11:18] <godtvisken> PurpZeY: why isn't it in the repos yet, though?
[11:18] <gangsterlicious> hi
[11:18] <pecisk> hjmills: it says it doesn't support file format
[11:18] <honzik> hi
[11:18] <phil56> Scunizi: I accepted it
[11:18] <Scunizi> phil56, got it.. little slow.
[11:18] <jasin> Hi
[11:18] <phil56> Scunizi: Can you read me?
[11:18] <hjmills> central so its like its the resolution is too low so some of the screen isnt used?
[11:18] <thedonvaughn> pecisk, why do you need to work with .rpm?  I avoid those like the plague
[11:18] <Chousuke> UNDERsoN: 1.6 should work too :/
[11:18] <Scunizi> phil56, it just timed out..
[11:18] <hjmills> Central, are the two monitors the same res?
[11:18] <NeuraL> I've got a strange behavior when i upgraded to festy: when i run totem from KDE (or other gnome application) some server starts under the hood and mplayer stop working, never done before. Some has the same situation here?
[11:18] <phil56> Scunizi: Thanks goodness
[11:18] <Central> yes
[11:19] <phil56> Scunizi: :(
[11:19] <Central> they are the exact same brand too
[11:19] <sabdfl_> jrib: i think that does 1...32k, and i need a bit more control over it
[11:19] <thedonvaughn> pecisk, but I believe you can install rpm by "sudo aptitude install rpm" and you should be able to do what you need to that rpm after that.
[11:19] <ramboza_> mc44: I just want to add "Run application" item to the gnome menu...
[11:19] <Scunizi> phil56, I was starting to get the screen draw
[11:19] <sabdfl_> like 1..24
[11:19] <phil56> Scunizi: Too many downloads I guess
[11:19] <jasin> yo
[11:19] <sabdfl_> or 1.59
[11:19] <mc44> ramboza_: yes, you need to install gmrun
[11:19] <rescon> hmm
[11:19] <jrib> sabdfl_: echo $(( RANDOM%25 ))
[11:19] <phil56> Scunizi: I closed all downloads
[11:19] <jasin> 9 updates
[11:19] <phil56> Scunizi: try now
[11:19] <jrib> sabdfl_: echo $(( $RANDOM%25 ))
[11:19] <mage__> LjL: how do I specify like eth0?
[11:19] <hjmills> Central, hmm - any chance you could pop a sketch of it on the net?
[11:19] <Scunizi> phil56, could be.. most ISP limit up from your computer
[11:19] <jasin> echo
[11:19] <simmerz> so no one has done a dapper->edgy upgrade and come across conflicts? esp with checkinstall
[11:19] <jasin> echo
[11:19] <sabdfl_> sweet! thanks jrib
[11:19] <LjL> jasin, stop spamming
[11:19] <UNDERsoN> Chousuke I install 1.6 java from repo azureus is from official site
[11:20] <jasin> spam????????
[11:20] <jasin> lol
[11:20] <mage__> I'll just use -adaptorflag ok?
[11:20] <Scunizi> phil56, much better
[11:20] <phil56> Scunizi: Great!
[11:20] <Scunizi> phil56, what do you want me to do?  or are you just testing?
[11:20] <phil56> Scunizi: Atleast something's working
[11:20] <NeuraL> everbody is fine in kubuntu running mplayer *after* totem?
[11:20] <phil56> Scunizi: Nothing ,wanted to test
[11:20] <Central> is there something like paint in ubuntu? :P
[11:20] <LjL> mage__: the lines i had before i set up the bridging used to be like this: iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE -s 192.168.0.2 -d 192.168.0.0/24 --out-interface eth2
[11:20] <ramboza_> mc44: this menu item was in the gnome menu in 5.0.4...why should i install smth just to get it back? :(
[11:21] <phil56> Scunizi: Thanks a ton
[11:21] <Scunizi> phil56, I use vnc all the time for helping clients/friends..
[11:21] <malawar> i'm having the hardest time getting this monitor to be the primary monitor :(
[11:21] <Scunizi> phil56, no problem..
[11:21] <phil56> Scunizi: Ahh,I see
[11:21] <mage__> hahah I *just* hit go
[11:21] <mon^rch> Central: it think there's a "xpaint"
[11:21] <malawar> gdm's login screen shows on the other monitor, the application bar shows there, etc
[11:21] <phil56> Scunizi: How do I trminate your conn?
[11:21] <mc44> ramboza_: because it is part of metacity and you can't seem to launch it. whats wrong with the panel applet
[11:21] <sabdfl_> jrib: is there a bash function to make a temp file?
[11:21] <Scunizi> phil56, I'll close it.
[11:21] <malawar> using nvidia drivers btw, twinview :/
[11:21] <jrib> sabdfl_: mktemp
[11:21] <Scunizi> phil56, should be closed..
[11:21] <phil56> Scunizi: I mean ,If I wanted to?
[11:22] <sabdfl_> super, thanks jrib
[11:22] <Scunizi> not sure.. never done it the reverse...
[11:22] <phil56> Scunizi: as a guest
[11:22] <hjmills> Central, use GIMP under Graphics in the Applications menu
[11:22] <phil56> Scunizi: Ohh
[11:22] <mc44> sabdfl_: should be using python :)
[11:22] <mage__> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24130/
[11:22] <Scunizi> phil56, there should be some indicatoin on the taskbar for vnc that you can click.
[11:22] <mon^rch> Central: but the "gimp" can paint VERY nicely ;)
[11:22] <Scunizi> phil56, you wanna try again?
[11:22] <mage__> wewps, LjL: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24130/ :)
[11:23] <ramboza_> mc44: i've installed that gmrun but still do not see "Run command" in the menu
[11:23] <kimmey> How may i make removeable usb-disk writeable? mine is only read.
[11:23] <hjmills> Central, if you want you can try doing it as seperate X screens but i think then you have two desktops rather than a stretched desktop so you cant move stuff between them
[11:23] <Central> I have no experence with the gimp
[11:23] <phil56> Scunizi: How do I access yours?
[11:23] <malawar> to sum up in one line: Using the nvidia drivers, I have twinview enabled, but it's picking up the wrong monitor for primary and nothing I've tried has switched them around.
[11:23] <Scunizi> phil56, let me see if my router is set correctly.
[11:23] <phil56> Scunizi: ok
[11:23] <jrib> malawar: tried using nvidia-settings to configure it?
[11:23] <Jowi> Central, if it's a LCD monitor you should have a auto adjust button on it.
[11:23] <mon^rch> Central: then pay around with it... it's kinda like photoshop :)
[11:23] <hjmills> Central, open a new file - make it 800x600 and find the pencil on the tools bit and draw
[11:24] <mc44> ramboza_: add gmrun to the menu
[11:24] <malawar> jrib, yeah, the layout is the way i want it, but the login screen and all the other fixings appear on the wrong monitor
[11:24] <mc44> ramboza_: alternatively you can do this http://linux.seindal.dk/2004/09/24/sawfish-and-the-gnome-run-application-dialog/
[11:24] <ChAaGgYy> alguien podria ayudarme con Ubuntu dapper
[11:24] <jrib> !es | ChAaGgYy
[11:24] <ubotu> ChAaGgYy: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[11:24] <phil56> Scunizi: I am thinking.if remote desktop works .I will try ssh over that as there are tons of tutorials on that!
[11:24] <LjL> mage__: thanks, looks sane than what i had no doubt ;)
[11:25] <seamus7> What does "Run Xclient Script" in Sessions upon GDM login mean?
[11:25] <Scunizi> phil56, ok.. give it a try
[11:25] <phil56> Scunizi: Waht should I type?
[11:26] <malawar> my displays are showing as DFP-0 and CRT-1 .. that would make you think the DFP would be primary, wouldn't it?
[11:26] <malawar> :/
[11:26] <Scunizi> phil56, right click my nick for ip
[11:26] <phil56> Scunizi: I mean your IP address or something
[11:27] <cables> 72.197.240.36
[11:27] <bsnider> where is the sessions config info in the user's gnome config folders?
[11:27] <malawar> hold that thought, restarting X :/
[11:27] <phil56> Scunizi: It has options to ban and kick you ,lol .and send a file
[11:27] <bipolar> I'm trying to find xorg 1.3 packages for feisty. google is not helping me. can someone please point me in the right direction?
[11:27] <jrib> bsnider: depending on what you want, either ~/.config/autostart/ for startup programs or ~/.gnome2/session
[11:28] <Scunizi> phil56, you sure you're connected.. I didn't authorize yet.
[11:28] <mc44> bipolar: xorg 1.3 isn't in feisty, I doubt anyone has backported it
[11:28] <Central> hjmills:  how do I send this to you?
[11:28] <bipolar> mc44: but it's in gutsy?
[11:28] <Scunizi> phil56, try 72.197.240.36
[11:28] <phil56> Scunizi: yea,I mean ,when I right click your nick it gives no options to get your ip!
[11:28] <phil56> Scunizi: okay
[11:28] <hjmills> Central, can you post it to the web somewhere?
[11:29] <mc44> bipolar: it is/will be (not sure on the status)
[11:29] <ramboza_> mc44: thanks...it's very odd that you can simply add "Run command" to the main panel, but you must install packages or compile scripts to add it to the gnome menu ))
[11:29] <bipolar> mc44: ahh.. I wonder where I got my misinformation from....
[11:29] <phil56> Scunizi: vncviewer 72.197.240.36 right?
[11:29] <Scunizi> phil56, yep
[11:29] <mc44> ramboza_: thats gnome for you :)
[11:29] <kitche> bipolar: you mean xorg 7.3 xorg 1.3 is kinda old isn't it :) unless of course you mean how they number the version's now
[11:29] <phil56> Scunizi: lovely
[11:30] <bipolar> kitche: er... no. yes. maybe. is it bigger then a toaster?
[11:30] <tritium> ramboza_: how is that odd?
[11:30] <Scunizi> phil56, hang on and I'll see if I can figure out where to terminate you.. You'll be looking and learning how if I figure it out.
[11:30] <phil56> Scunizi: cool
[11:31] <ramboza_> tritum: well i mean strange....and little stupid :(
[11:31] <mc44> kitche: its called xorg 1.3
[11:31] <phil56> Scunizi: cool
[11:31] <phil56> pid stuff
[11:31] <Scunizi> phil56, did that kill your access?
[11:31] <kitche> bipolar: anywys xorg 7.3 isn't even released yet
[11:31] <Central> hjmills:  imageshack doesn't appear to work...
[11:31] <phil56> Scunizi: Yup
[11:31] <Central> do you have any suggestions?
 kitche: its called xorg 1.3
[11:31] <kitche> mc44: if you say so
[11:31] <bipolar> kitche: thats why I asked about 1.3 :)
[11:32] <kitche> juan: thanks for repeating
[11:32] <hjmills> Central, oh ok - just email it to backup [ at]   donec [ dot]  com
[11:32] <Scunizi> phil56, fast and easy.. I would think that RD would have some other indication on the desktop that it's connected with options to terminate..
[11:32] <kitche> bipolar: try lookign for xorg 7.3 packages instead
[11:32] <malawar> ah, got it.
[11:32] <phil56> Scunizi: what was the name of the process though?
[11:32] <kitche> bipolar: since it's not even released yet you might not find any
[11:32] <phil56> Scunizi: yeah,there are no shortcuts as such
[11:32] <Scunizi> phil56, top to get the screen then.... I forgot.
[11:32] <Scunizi> phil56, log in again.
[11:33] <mc44> kitche: I meant, the server is 1.3
[11:33] <kitche> mc44: I know
[11:33] <Scunizi> phil56, vino-server
[11:33] <cjae> have to replace on board ethernet with pci nic I have a realtek rtl8139D 10/100 or a SMCen5030c 10/100 which one should I use??
[11:33] <phil56> Scunizi: done
[11:33] <kitche> mc44: 1.3 is what all the packages version are in 7.3
[11:33] <kafitz22> how would i go about installing ubuntu to a laptop without a cd or floppy drive, is there a way to install wubi to a partition...i've only got 512mb flash drives
[11:33] <phil56> Scunizi: I am thinking.if remote desktop works .I will try ssh over that as there are tons of tutorials on that!
[11:34] <Scunizi> phil56, that may just work..
[11:34] <mc44> kitche: well, it'll be in gutsy anyway, part of it at least :)
[11:34] <Scunizi> phil56, this is for friends of yours?
[11:34] <sharperguy> lol anyone know why "syntax on" isnt working anymore in my .vimrc file? (vim says it isn't supported in this version but it worked in edgy)
[11:53] <phil56> Scunizi: Yeah,Almost every other site has one tutorial
[11:53] <bsnider> jrib: i don't have a ~/.gnome2/session folde
[11:53] <phil56> Scunizi: Which one?

[11:53] <NET||abuse> I'm trying to burn a dvd with files with an external dvd burner(usb) it detects when i insert a blank dvd and asks if i want to burn a dvd, so i go through the cd/dvd creator window, just dragging files in, then i hit write, and it says please insert supported dvd media., supported types .. and none are listed
[11:53] <Central> It's probably gonna mess again back in windows :P
[11:53] <Central> but nm
[11:53] <hjmills> Central, great! i recommend you save that backup file somewhere just in case you want to go back to one screen again
[11:53] <dan_still> OK, I'm back
[11:53] <hjmills> Central, this will only sort out linux but it will work no matter what you do in windows
[11:53] <Central> I now have every window popping up in exact center
[11:53] <Cecoknopfler> how to reboot and find the right cd rom ?????
[11:53] <Cecoknopfler> in bios ??
[11:53] <Central> is there a way to make them appear in center of 1 screen?
[11:53] <Cecoknopfler> 1 is external
[11:53] <hjmills> Central, i think there is but it means you wont have the same res on both screens - ill look into it for you
[11:53] <NET||abuse> this thing says "Please put a disc, with at least 3.7 GiB free, into the drive.  The following disc types are supported:"
[11:53] <Cecoknopfler> better here

[11:53] <juan_> hola
[11:53] <napsy_> what have I been doing for the last three hours :)
[11:53] <pinkster> hi, which is best/most used torrent client for ubuntu?
[11:53] <hjmills> Cosmo_, it is possible and the best guide i know is the ubuntu server guide
[11:53] <raulh> anyone know a program "FREEWARE" that can run EXE programs, mostly full screenie games?
[11:53] <ibob63> I am learning about cron jobs. But I can't understand where an individual users crontab file is located?
[11:53] <hjmills> pinkster, azureus or deluge or bittorrent-gui or transmission
[11:53] <Cosmo_> hjmills: can it also be set up as a router for my home network?
[11:53] <Devyll> hello all. I have installed now vsftpd and I need to install proftpd. how do I uninstall vsftpd ?!
[11:53] <hjmills> Cosmo_, i think so tho I havn't done that
[11:54] <pinkster> anyone like utorrent? im migrating from win
[11:54] <lockd> ibob63: individual users can't run cron jobs afaik
[11:54] <kitche> ibob63: same place as /root's /etc/crontab/<user>
[11:54] <hjmills> pinkster, try azureus
[11:54] <pinkster> cool
[11:54] <pinkster> thx
[11:54] <Johne> is anyone in here using mouseemu on an ibook?
[11:54] <kitche> lockd: actually each user can have a cron job if they wanted to
[11:54] <Cosmo_> hjmills: only reason I ask is I have a crappy linksys wrt54g ver6 router and it sucks
[11:54] <hjmills> pinkster, not that I ever used uTorrent - its a windows program
[11:54] <hjmills> Cosmo_, lol - im sure you can
[11:54] <lockd> kitche: they just have to have the right permissions?
[11:55] <ibob63> kitche: I am just going to see if I have permission
[11:55] <kitche> lockd: pretty much liek you can sync sources as a user instead as root if you wanted
[11:55] <pinkster> anything like dvddecrypter for ubuntu?
[11:55] <kitche> lockd: if the sources is ina spot that user can write to
[11:55] <Devyll> can anybody tell me how to uninstall vsftpd ? (the command for uninstalling if there is one)
