[12:01] <hatredx> so stick to checkinstall till I get it down pat in manual mode... k, thanks.
[12:01] <owh> I have two dapper questions which may or may not be related. After each reboot, I am forced to run sudo ipmasq, otherwise there is no internet traffic. The second problem is that on some occasions, that is sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, the on-board ethernet adapter does not come up. The adapter is a VT6105 [Rhine-III]  (rev 86). Any suggestions?
[12:02] <julian> what must i enter in jdbc driver class field when connecting to mysql
[12:02] <\666> does anyone know how to get windows xp back? since i only want one computer as linux (thisone) but the other is going be windows xp and i have no solution i dont have boot disc or what so ever
[12:02] <tanath> my 'main menu' app won't let me make any changes. i check a box to add something, then after a moment it unchecks itself and has no effect
[12:02] <LjL> hatredx: if a package isn't available in the official repos, tries the ones that source-o-matic lists first. if those fail too, google, and if you find something, asking here to make sure the package is sane won't hurt. ONLY use Debian packages (as in, packages for Debian not Ubuntu) if you really have to, if ever. DON'T add Debian repos anyway, install single packages. DON'T attempt to use rpms
[12:02] <\666> why cant we attemp RPS?
[12:02] <\666> rpms*
[12:03] <hatredx> rpm's are the devil!
[12:03] <\666> so is my name
[12:03] <owh> :)
[12:03] <\666> ,==
[12:03] <LjL> hatredx: don't even think of using Debian packages for things that aren't just very stand-alone applications.
[12:03] <\666> <==

[12:12] <dave-ubu> hi - im trying to migrate a web server from windows to linux - i've installed LAMP but am looking for an open source alternative to CPANEL / PLESK - any suggestions ?
[12:12] <Nemes> pinkster, kill it
[12:12] <pike__> pinkster: pkill appname or killall appname or xkill which gives you a nice skull cursor to click on it with
[12:12] <super-6-1> pike_ok
[12:12] <super-6-1> pike_: ok
[12:12] <pike__> super-6-1: you can scan and see access points?
[12:12] <super-6-1> yes
[12:12] <preem_> dave-ubu: try ISPConfig
[12:13] <pike__> super-6-1: you using wpa or wep or is it open?
[12:13] <super-6-1> pike_: wep
[12:13] <dave-ubu> cheers Preem
[12:13] <neocoretech> @pinkster or use the system monitor to have a graphical process list, to kill the processes from ;)
[12:13] <Pupeno> mc44: according to other sources, bootcamp is not needed if you use refit and that guide tells me to install bootcamp (and doesn't mention anything about wether I should run bootcamp's wizard or not). And it *doesn't* mention FileVault at all.
[12:13] <preem_> no probs, havent tried it myself, but always wanted to, have to get it sometime :)
[12:14] <nblracer> what is the best way so i can have a program start when the computer is turn on (tomCat)?
[12:14] <pike__> super-6-1: i dont know howto do this in gui just console but this is how i typically connect. sudo iwlist wlan0 scan; sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid whatevername key 23423423; sudo dhclient wlan0
[12:14] <pinkster> nice
[12:14] <pinkster> solved
[12:14] <pinkster> thx
[12:14] <super-6-1> pike_: ok
[12:14] <Pelo> nblracer, menu > system > prefs > sessons
[12:14] <hjmills> pinkster, what did you use in the end?
[12:14] <m1r> ok, no luck, laptop dont boot of REMOVABLE , cdrom is broken,think only input is floppy
[12:14] <m1r> what method for install should i use ? :/
[12:15] <Devyll> dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of proftpd:
[12:15] <Devyll>  proftpd depends on libpq4 (>= 8.1.4); however:
[12:15] <Devyll>   Package libpq4 is not installed.
[12:15] <stefg> !install  m1r
[12:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about install  m1r - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:15] <stefg> !install |  m1r
[12:15] <ubotu> m1r: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - See also !automate
[12:15] <Pelo> m1r, can you boot from a usb flash drive ?
[12:15] <m1r> laptop dont accept removable boot
[12:15] <orangey> Hey all!
[12:15] <m1r> i tryed boot puppy but failed
[12:15] <m1r> also put removable cdrom , fail
[12:16] <tanath> can anyone help me add synaptic to the gnome menu?
[12:16] <slicknick> i could use a good, newb user friendly iptables guide if anyone has a recommendation?  im trying to allow ssh connections. any recommendations?
[12:16] <ikonia> tanath: its already there
[12:16] <orangey> I work with a medical journal, and we are talking now about trying to arrange a professional grade text in collaboration with wikipedia. With whom should we be talking on the issue?
[12:16] <tanath> when i try to add it with the 'main menu' app, it won't work
[12:16] <tanath> the box unchecks itself after a moment
[12:16] <Pelo> tanath, it should already be in menu > system > admin > synaptic pakcage manager
[12:16] <ikonia> orangey: wikipedia would be a good start
[12:16] <mc44> orangey: someone from wikipedia?
[12:16] <tanath> it's not
[12:16] <tanath> neither is add/remove apps, and i can't add that one either
[12:16] <pike__> slicknick: well easiest recommendation is firestarter or another gui front end
[12:17] <Gecko> Hey there. I have an issue with the latest kernel update. Normally my sata disc is discovered as /dev/sdc, but with the kernel update, it is discovered as /dev/hde, and I get endless DMA timeouts. Anyone know anything about this?
[12:17] <orangey> ikonia: shoot.. Wrong channel.
[12:17] <Pelo> tanath, main menu occasionaly wonT' update until  x is restarted
[12:17] <orangey> thank you for the catch.
[12:17] <ikonia> tanath: it should already be there uder system --> administration  --> synaptic package manager
[12:17] <stefg> !uuid | Gecko
[12:17] <ubotu> Gecko: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell:  blkid  (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[12:17] <Devyll> can anybody tell me what do I have to install to have libpq4 >= 8.1.4   ??????????????/
[12:17] <tanath> Pelo, i know it should be, but it's not and i cannot add it. when i check the box to add it, it unchecks itself after a moment... o.O
[12:17] <jrib> tanath: check permissions on ~/.local/share/applications/ and its children
[12:17] <Gecko> stefg: the problem is not the uuid, as the partition is discovered all right. The issue is with the endless DMA timeouts
[12:17] <pike__> slicknick: id grab an iptables script from google though to give you an idea. you should be able to find one with comments and ssh is pretty common
[12:17] <m1r> stefg ty i will check
[12:18] <slicknick> word
[12:18] <slicknick> thanks
[12:18] <Pelo> tanath, don'T know what to tell you
[12:18] <m1r> pelo, nothing that can do input on that laptop but floppy
[12:18] <whatthehe> Ok, I have a problem here
[12:18] <slicknick> is it possible to run VMware, and start a guest machine without the GUI?
[12:18] <whatthehe> In firefox, if I open file.html, it works
[12:18] <whatthehe> But if I open file.html?lang=ENG
[12:18] <whatthehe> it doesn't
[12:18] <Pelo> m1r, there is an installer that works through windows,  wbeui or something
[12:19] <tanath> jrib, owner has rw...
[12:19] <whatthehe> It goes 404
[12:19] <stefg> Gecko: read the link and find out why device names move back and forth from scsi-emulation names to ide names
[12:19] <tanath> jrib, (and i'm owner)
[12:19] <Nippa> Where would I go to find documentation on package versions in different versions of ubuntu?
[12:19] <whatthehe> And it opened fine under windows
[12:20] <Pelo> Nippa, http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[12:20] <varka> Nippa: http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[12:20] <Nippa> Pelo, varka  thanks, that looks like exactly what I'm looking for :)
[12:21] <tanath> in ~/.local/share/applications/ there are several instances of some apps, particularly the two i'm trying to add...
[12:21] <not_a_k> i have 2 gigs of ram. after a few days of running my machine reports I have some 300-400 megs of ram
[12:21] <not_a_k> when i run the free command
[12:21] <stefg> Gecko: hdparm and libata don't go along well
[12:21] <tanath> there's 9 synaptics, and 7 add/removes
[12:21] <not_a_k> any idea why my ram just disappears?
[12:21] <tanath> what's up with that?
[12:21] <ikonia> not_a_k: proably being used for caching
[12:21] <ikonia> not_a_k: its a good thing that ram is being used
[12:21] <nblracer> Pelo that did not work
[12:22] <Bakefy> Can someone here help me diagnose my computer?
[12:22] <tanath> they don't show up in the menu though
[12:22] <jrib> tanath: you checked the permissions on those files as well?
[12:22] <not_a_k> ikonia: it's my total ram that's being reported wrong
[12:22] <nblracer> what is the best way so i can have a program start when the computer is turn on (tomCat)?
[12:22] <not_a_k> ikonia: i'm looking at the right number here
[12:22] <ikonia> not_a_k: what is your total ram being reported as
[12:22] <Pelo> nblracer, make a desktop lancher and put it in  /home/user/.config/autostart
[12:22] <tanath> jrib, yeh, all have normal permissions, except one
[12:22] <not_a_k> Mem:        386872     373800      13072
[12:22] <not_a_k> that's way off the mark
[12:23] <ikonia> thats 3 gig
[12:23] <tanath> jrib, google earth has more restrictive permissions, but owner has rw
[12:23] <nblracer> i need it so, like apache, once the computer is on with out loggin the server is working
[12:23] <Bakefy> I have a problem.  I installed ubuntu, but when grub loads it, the monitor auto turns off.
[12:23] <ikonia> oops
[12:23] <ikonia> 300 emg
[12:23] <miketp> anyone got a treo 700w working as a modem in ubuntu yet?
[12:23] <not_a_k> ikonia: no that's 380 some megs
[12:23] <miketp> with sprint connection manager/wine or wvdial
[12:23] <napsy_> Where does the database of installed packages reside in ubuntu?
[12:23] <not_a_k> on a clean boot it says 2 gigs
[12:23] <ikonia> not_a_k: up - so under "total" you've got 300 meg
[12:23] <pinkster> which is the best photoshop alternative? gimp?
[12:24] <stefg> !apt | napsy_
[12:24] <not_a_k> ikonia: yeah. first column of free
[12:24] <miketp> pinkster: yes
[12:24] <ubotu> napsy_: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[12:24] <pinkster> good
[12:24] <ikonia> not_a_k: what does top report
[12:24] <not_a_k> ikonia: same thing
[12:24] <napsy_> stefg: i ment physically on the disk
[12:24] <ikonia> not_a_k:  and cat /proc/meminfo  | head
[12:24] <ikonia> the total column
[12:24] <ikonia> memtotal
[12:24] <varka> pinkster: you can have a look at pixel also: http://www.kanzelsberger.com/pixel/?page_id=12
[12:25] <KooGooShii> is anyone able to help me, ive go the libdvd files i need (libdvdread3/libdvdcss2) but fiesty doesnt seem to want to mount dvds, or even show up in my LIST OF (df -ha / fdisk -l), i dont know how to make it read or mount
[12:25] <not_a_k> ikonia: same :/
[12:25] <ikonia> not_a_k: how strange.
[12:25] <pinkster> yes i was looking just at it
[12:25] <pinkster> i saw a comment about being a good alternative
[12:25] <pinkster> but most ppl say gimp
[12:25] <tanath> i deleted all the synaptic shortcuts, and when i check the box in the 'main menu' app it makes two of them, then the box unchecks itself, and it still doesn't show in the menu
[12:25] <needbackup> hey!
[12:26] <needbackup> Could anyone around here help me a little but?? Please :S
[12:26] <ikonia> needbackup: whats the question
[12:26] <stefg> !anyone
[12:26] <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?
[12:26] <varka> pinkster: well, i like it, but if you are familiar with gimp...
[12:26] <NickPresta> @needbackup: As your question. We can only help you if we know your problem.
[12:26] <ikonia> I wonder if he wants a backup......?
[12:26] <CarlFK> I had dapper on my laptop. the 'slider' on my trackpad worked like a mouse wheel. I wiped it and installed feisty, now I get no slider action.  any idea how to get it back?
[12:26] <jrib> tanath: pastebin: find ~/.local ! -user $USER -exec ls -ld '{}' \;
[12:26] <pinkster> i'll have to get familiar with it
[12:27] <pike__> tanath: not sure of best solution but i think you can just rm -fr ~/.gconf; pkill gnome-panel   might work
[12:27] <pinkster> i use photoshop a lot
[12:27] <pinkster> dreamweaver alternative?
[12:27] <tanath> jrib, returned nothing
[12:27] <CarlFK> pinkster: nvu
[12:27] <varka> pinkster: i dont think so, so i chose pixel, as its has an almost compareable gui
[12:27] <tanath> pike_, that sounds a little drastic... won't that kill a lot of my settings?
[12:27] <CarlFK> pinkster: it isnt DW, but it is a nice html editor
[12:27] <thomas_> yo everyone, what must i do to access ubuntu server via putty???
[12:28] <thomas_> from a remote computer?
[12:28] <ikonia> thomas_: enable telnet or ssh
[12:28] <thomas_> i have ssh
[12:28] <winbond> what is super cow?
[12:28] <thomas_> bu it says the connection timed out
[12:28] <CarlFK> thomas_: apt-get install openssh-server
[12:28] <Aerotwelve> Hey everyone, how would I get started making Ubuntu apps? What are most apps in? I'd assume C++, but isn't that Microsoft?
[12:28] <ikonia> thomas_: are you running ssh server on the server
[12:28] <tanath> pike__, that sounds a little drastic... won't that kill a lot of my settings?
[12:28] <CarlFK> Aerotwelve: python
[12:28] <KooGooShii> is anyone able to help me, ive go the libdvd files i need (libdvdread3/libdvdcss2) but fiesty doesnt seem to want to mount dvds, or even show up in my LIST OF (df -ha / fdisk -l), i dont know how to make it read or mount
[12:28] <ikonia> Aerotwelve: that question suggests your not ready to make apps
[12:28] <stefg> thomas_: sudo apt-get install openssh-server, help with putty is in ##windows
[12:28] <pinkster> nvu is good with css?
[12:29] <thomas_> oh
[12:29] <thomas_> ic
[12:29] <Aerotwelve> Well, obviously I'm not ready, I'm just curious at what things are in.
[12:29] <jrib> tanath: weird, if you delete the syanptic*.desktop stuff in ~/.local/share/applications/ it should just return to normal.  Maybe restart your panel as someone just suggested
[12:29] <thomas_> ...
[12:29] <thomas_> i need root
[12:29] <thomas_> ...
[12:29] <CarlFK> pinkster: I think so
[12:29] <ikonia> no
[12:29] <ikonia> you need sudo
[12:29] <thomas_> i mean, i jsut tried something else
[12:29] <thomas_> and i need root
[12:29] <stefg> !root | thomas_
[12:29] <ubotu> thomas_: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[12:29] <thomas_> but i dont have root
[12:29] <ikonia> you don't need root
[12:29] <pike__> tanath: thats my approach when something doesnt work. 1. shoot it 2. light it on fire 3. beat it to death with a hammer
[12:29] <thomas_> like i have teh root user
[12:29] <tanath> jrib, i did delete all the ones that had extras, but when i try to make another one, it makes 'em two at a time
[12:29] <Aerotwelve> Use sudo
[12:29] <thomas_> but eveyrpassword is incorrect
[12:29] <CarlFK> Aerotwelve: http://www.ubuntu.com/community/developerzone/bounties
[12:29] <tanath> pike__, lol
[12:29] <kitche> Aerotwelve: most c++ and C++ is not microsoft it's just c with object oriented programming operating systems tend to be in C
[12:29] <thomas_> is there a default password for root???
[12:29] <jrib> tanath: you shouldn't have to make anything
[12:29] <ikonia> thomas_: you don't need root
[12:29] <miketp> any idea why my treo 700wx would show up in "lsusb" and this disappear?
[12:29] <jrib> !root > thomas_ (see the private message from ubotu)
[12:30] <tanath> jrib, yet my menu is lacking certain items...
[12:30] <thomas_> ubotu?
[12:30] <jrib> tanath: did you restart gnome-panel after deleting the files?
[12:30] <CarlFK> jrib: no PMs if the user isn't registered, right?
[12:30] <ikonia> thomas_: read the private message you've been sent
[12:30] <tanath> jrib, i think i may have removed them before i upgraded, and now can't seem to get them back
[12:30] <kitche> thomas_: use sudo insead
[12:30] <Trixsey> The ATI drivers in Linux decreased my performance by ~50% compared to the Windows drivers... Could something be wrong or do they really suck that hard?
[12:30] <tanath> jrib, no
[12:30] <thomas_> alright
[12:30] <kitche> Trixsey: they are horrible even in Windows
[12:30] <jrib> tanath: try: killall gnome-panel
[12:30] <stefg> Trixsey: they suck that hard
[12:31] <pike__> Trixsey: ati drivers are...well theyre bad
[12:31] <jrib> CarlFK: right (by default, but there is a setting where you can allow pm's from unregistered users)
[12:31] <Aerotwelve> Thanks, I was just curious about what things are in. once I start learning in this kind of area. Thanks.
[12:31] <nblracer> Pablo i dont think thats what i want, i need to set the Java_home, and start Tomact as soon as posable, when turning on a computer/restarting
[12:31] <lwizardl> if I want to make a iso image of a disc in my cdrom drive what do I type in term
[12:31] <tanath> jrib, gah. now certain tray icons don't show :-/
[12:31] <jrib> tanath: and synaptic is still missing?
[12:31] <pike__> lwizardl: cat /dev/cdrom > file.iso is one way or use dd
[12:32] <cafuego> lwizardl: dd if=/dev/hdX of=./cd.iso bs=512
[12:32] <tanath> jrib, yeah
[12:32] <tanath> jrib, still does the same thing
[12:32] <ikonia> cafuego: I don't trust that technique, as thats not really an iso image, just a block level copy
[12:32] <thomas_> i tired it, but it askkes for root
[12:32] <thomas_> because permison is denied
[12:32] <jrib> tanath: weird, see if it happens with a new user, just to confirm it's a confiugration issue
[12:32] <cafuego> ikonia: Yes, which is an iso.
[12:32] <thomas_> ubotu is another channel?
[12:32] <lwizardl> I've tried "dd if=/dev/cdrom of=cd.iso"
[12:32] <SirBob1701> so how well are mavell nics supported in linux? getting new mobo
[12:33] <ikonia> thomas_: no - it asks for your user password
[12:33] <lwizardl> and it errors
[12:33] <stefg> !root | thomas_
[12:33] <ubotu> thomas_: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.

[12:33] <tanath> jrib, oy. another time, i have more pressing concerns to work on first, like this video walkman no one will help me with :-/ thanks for the help so far though
[12:33] <stefg> kitche: no, L.A..R.T :-)
[12:34] <Bakefy> is there a chance that my video card just plain doesnt work?>
[12:34] <NickPresta> Which video card do you have?
[12:35] <lwizardl> well right click worked
[12:35] <Bakefy> nvidia x800
[12:35] <varka> lol
[12:35] <tanath> anyone know how to get a video walkman working in ubuntu?
[12:35] <lando786> hey what is a good binary news reader for ubuntu/
[12:35] <pike__> Bakefy: what is the card?
[12:35] <thomas_> so what exaclt must i type in? sudo thomas apt-get install openssh server?
[12:35] <pike__> Bakefy: nm ;p
[12:36] <ikonia> thoma_no
[12:36] <NickPresta> I thought the X800 was from ATI (to compete with the 6800)
[12:36] <ikonia> thoma sudo $command
[12:36] <tanath> i tried installing the sonicstage software that came with it, but it says i need to restart and log in as admin :-/
[12:36] <KooGooShii> is anyone able to help me, ive go the libdvd files i need (libdvdread3/libdvdcss2) but fiesty doesnt seem to want to mount dvds, or even show up in my LIST OF (df -ha / fdisk -l), i dont know how to make it read or mount
[12:36] <stefg> thomas_: sudo apt-get install openssh-server (as said before)
[12:36] <pike__> lwizardl: pan is the standard if you want features i think
[12:36] <ikonia> thomas_: as the link and message from ubotu told you
[12:36] <thomas_> it says
[12:36] <lando786> are there any binary newsgroup readers for ubuntu that support nzbs/
[12:36] <thomas_> E: could not oepn lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 permission denied)
[12:36] <Bakefy> pike_ I have had linux working on this machine before, but I upgraded to 7.04  and got the 64bit
[12:36] <ikonia> use sudo
[12:37] <ikonia> sudo $command
[12:37] <stefg> thomas_: please stop neing ignorant and consider carefully readinf the answers you get
[12:37] <thomas_> E; unable to lock the administration directory (/Var/lib/dpkd/), are u root?
[12:37] <ikonia> thomas_: can you read what people are typing to you ?
[12:37] <pike__> Bakefy: i have no exp with 64bit but id assume the nvidia drivers would work fine for your card
[12:37] <thomas_> sry , its jsut i spend nowe 6 days to get this to work
[12:37] <ikonia> thomas_: show me the exact command you typed
[12:37] <froyd> hey friends, how do i change ownership of a folder ?
[12:37] <Bakefy> pike_ now when I turn on the machine (after a fresh text based install) it turns off the monitor after grub loads linux
[12:37] <ikonia> thomas_: 6 days !!!! did you not consider reading some docs
[12:37] <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? are there problems with the glibc/gcc upgrade?
[12:37] <thomas_> apt-get install openssh server
[12:37] <froyd> chgrpd ?
[12:38] <ikonia> thomas_: you not using sudo
[12:38] <pike__> Bakefy: have you tried the installer from nvidia.com ?
[12:38] <thomas_> oh!
[12:38] <LjL> froyd: chown
[12:38] <froyd> LjL: thx
[12:38] <LjL> thomas_: and it's "openssh-server"
[12:38] <Lilacor>  Bakefy I used Kubuntu x64 and the drivers worked fine.
[12:38] <knoppix_> gudde morsche
[12:38] <thomas_> oh
[12:38] <thomas_> ic
[12:38] <dxdemetriou> when I try to read a dvd-r it don't auto mount on dvdrom and I must do manually. if I try it on dvdrecorder it says that I must specify the fs but also don't work. I have this problem from Breezy and now I am on Feisty without found what's wrong. I am sure that reads them because it writes them
[12:38] <Lilacor> Bakefy: it took a while to get a it working but it worked.
[12:38] <thomas_> alright, thank you very much. im sry for my ignorance and appologize if i offended anyone
[12:39] <xyverz>  huh.  I jsut found the dockapp bar in kde.  makes my life easier having my dockapps. :-)
[12:39] <dxdemetriou> *the dvd+r are ok
[12:39] <Bakefy> pike_ - Lilaco I can't get anything.  as soon as grub loads linux the monitor turns off
[12:39] <xyverz> never bothered looking before
[12:39] <kitche> dxdemetriou: what is the dvd+r for data or movie?
[12:39] <startswithz_> I need help manually mounting a usb drive in knoppix
[12:39] <Bakefy> pike_ - Lilaco whats my next step?
[12:39] <ikonia> startswithz_: join #knoppix
[12:39] <KooGooShii> is anyone able to help me, ive go the libdvd files i need (libdvdread3/libdvdcss2) but fiesty doesnt seem to want to mount dvds, or even show up in my LIST OF (df -ha / fdisk -l), i dont know how to make it read or mount
[12:39] <dxdemetriou> kitche, for anything is the same thing
[12:39] <startswithz_> ikonia there is no response :(
[12:39] <KooGooShii> possibly same problem as dxdemetriou o_O
[12:39] <ikonia> startswithz_: then wait
[12:39] <ikonia> startswithz_: then wait in #knoppix - this is ubuntu support only
[12:39] <kitche> dxdemetriou: see what your syslog says
[12:40] <dxdemetriou> kitche, I tried the dmesg and says that tries to read out of space
[12:40] <BDBMX> can anyone tell me why i cant use the root account on my new ubuntu install?
[12:40] <varka> Bakefy: what card do you really have? an x800 or an nVidia, as the x800 is ATI
[12:40] <kitche> KooGooShii: movie dvds don't get mounted
[12:40] <not_a_k> dropping in and out of sleep has restored my total ram count

[12:40] <Bakefy> hmmm... just a se
[12:40] <ikonia> BDBMX: because root is an account wit no password
[12:40] <KooGooShii> all dvds dont get mounted
[12:40] <kitche> dxdemetriou: then it's a bad dvd+r or your burning bad ones all the time
[12:40] <ikonia> with
[12:40] <KooGooShii> i can burn blank dvds
[12:40] <KooGooShii> but i cant read any dvds other then those burned in ubuntu
[12:41] <BDBMX> theres no pass on by default?
[12:41] <ikonia> BDBMX: there is no usable password
[12:41] <killaz> hi guys I found a bug in ubuntu wher can I post this bug report.
[12:41] <killaz> where*
[12:41] <smallfoot-> can you boot ubuntu with the CD in a SATA DVD ?
[12:41] <stefg> KooGooShii: look in /etc/fstab if your dvd-ewntry is right
[12:41] <LjL> !bugs > killaz    (killaz, see the private message from Ubotu)
[12:41] <ikonia> killaz: launchpad, but please be sure its a bug
[12:41] <kitche> !launchpad | killaz but what kind of bug is that
[12:41] <ubotu> killaz but what kind of bug is that: launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's Bounty and Bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/
[12:41] <ikonia> smallfoot-: depends on your motherboard
[12:41] <james296> for some reason Im unable to add items to the startup manager...
[12:41] <BDBMX> how do you mean no "usable" password?
[12:41] <clayg> I've been on 6mo+ warcraft binge so I've been using xp.  I want to grab ubuntu, a new version but don't want to have alot of Hassles with my laptop.  Last one I used was Dapper, are any released after that as stable?
[12:41] <james296> how can I fix this problem?
[12:41] <smallfoot-> ikonia, not possible on all?
[12:41] <ikonia> BDBMX: it has a password, but not one thats usable
[12:41] <KooGooShii> it doesnt show when i fstab -l
[12:41] <LjL> BDBMX: you can't login as root, it means just that.
[12:41] <jrib> james296: pastebin: find ~/.local ! -user $USER -exec ls -ld '{}' \;
[12:41] <ikonia> smallfoot-: did you read what I said "it depends on your motherboard" - I didn't say it wasn't possible
[12:42] <thomas_> bye
[12:42] <clayg> before i know dapper was "better" than edgy evn when edgy was stable
[12:42] <BDBMX> ??
[12:42] <killaz> this bug makes it impossible to use he nvidia out
[12:42] <thomas_> thannks you vero your help
[12:42] <stefg> KooGooShii: cat /etc/fstab
[12:42] <ikonia> BDBMX: stop asking and read the links you've been sent
[12:42] <smallfoot-> ikonia, my motherboard doesnt have any AHCI option
[12:42] <SirBob1701> so how well are mavell nics supported in linux? getting new mobo
[12:42] <dxdemetriou> kitche, that I said before, I am sure that is ok because it works if I try to mount it manually on dvdrom, and the same disk on dvdrecorder doesn't work but it wrote it. exact what says is: attempt to access beyond the device
[12:42] <LjL> ikonia, BDBMX: it lists a hash that doesn't correspond to any password, i'd rather say
[12:42] <BDBMX> lol
[12:42] <BDBMX> ok
[12:42] <ikonia> LjL: thats a better desciption
[12:42] <james296> huh???
[12:42] <ikonia> smallfoot-: so if your board does'nt support it, how do you expect it to work ?
[12:42] <kitche> killaz: what makes you think this is a buyg exactly though
[12:42] <KooGooShii> only thing that shows up thats not a hdd is this
[12:43] <KooGooShii> cat /etc/fstab
[12:43] <KooGooShii> err
[12:43] <zcat[1] > BDBMX: "do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password"

[12:43] <Bakefy> oops
[12:43] <jrib> james296: sorry, you see the stuff after "pastebin:"?  That is a command for you to put in the terminal.  After you do taht, put the output on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org and give us the url
[12:43] <kitche> dxdemetriou: just means it's reading outside where the disc has data on it
[12:43] <Raziekiel> Every time I try to boot from cd (using both 6.06 and 7.04) I get the Kernal Panic Not syncing IO-APIC + Timer error. I tried using noapic like it said, but that didn't work either. What does this mean?
[12:43] <tiekyl> Is there any applications that can be used to embed a terminal onto the desktop?
[12:43] <stefg> KooGooShii: change that to /dev/scd0
[12:43] <varka> zcat[1] : there is no spoon ^^
[12:43] <kitche> killaz: maybe your xorg.conf is setup wrong it happens a lot of times
[12:43] <killaz> kitche: well this is also found in debian. I searched on it and it reported in debian. It's about a X Int10 module not loaded...
[12:43] <KooGooShii> how do i do that?
[12:44] <dxdemetriou> I have this question a long time before: are there also dvd devices that aren't implemented correct in linux because of close drivers?
[12:44] <stefg> !fstab | KooGooShii
[12:44] <Bakefy> Lilaco, varka, turns out it is an ATI x800
[12:44] <ikonia> dxdemetriou: no
[12:44] <james296> ok I added it
[12:44] <ubotu> KooGooShii: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[12:44] <killaz> kitche: Xorg unable to load xf86ExecX86int10 bug
[12:44] <james296> now what
[12:44] <KooGooShii> ty
[12:44] <KooGooShii> hopefully this works
[12:44] <CarlFK> why does top show 96%us, but the total of all the things running is at most 20% ?
[12:44] <jrib> james296: give us the url
[12:44] <james296> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24148/
[12:45] <ikonia> CarlFK: are you sure its not %90 of the %20 is "user" used
[12:45] <Bakefy> Lilaco, varka, Its been awhile since I built it.  THis is my mothers computer.  Its ASUS i know that.
[12:45] <ikonia> CarlFK: check the columns to make sure
[12:45] <CarlFK> and my system keeps bogging.... load is at .7
[12:45] <DJ-Stone> how can I install openssl0.9.8e on ubuntu server 7
[12:45] <killaz> kitche: I see it's already reported in launchpad.
[12:45] <ikonia> DJ-Stone: use synaptix or apt-get
[12:45] <james296> oh wait a minute
[12:45] <ikonia> synaptics
[12:45] <james296> I screwed up...

[12:46] <varka> Bakefy: sry, i cant tell you anything useful about ATI

[12:46] <DJ-Stone> i want 0.9.8e
[12:46] <Riky> hi guys i have a doubt i've tried to change my resolution to 1280x1024 but when i restart the gdm service it turns back to 1024 x 768 and i know that resoution is correct cause i use it when i had windows on my pc, what i'm doing wrong!?
[12:46] <ikonia> DJ-Stone: no - thats openssl - not openssh
[12:46] <james296> ok nevermind, its the same thing
[12:46] <DJ-Stone> sry..
[12:46] <jrib> james296: try to prefix what you say with my name or I will miss it
[12:46] <DJ-Stone> you are right
[12:47] <CarlFK> ikonia: um... it is whatever top's default columns is - I am never too sure what I am looking at, but this is a fairly fresh feisty install, and something is dragging things
[12:47] <DJ-Stone> openssl 0.9.8e
[12:47] <kitche> killaz: seems like it's not an xorg issue but the nvidia driver itself
[12:47] <ikonia> DJ-Stone: openssl 9.8e is not pakage for ubuntu
[12:47] <james296> how do I do that?
[12:47] <DJ-Stone> says under snapshot it is.
[12:47] <Bakefy> Surely ATI works in Linux
[12:47] <ikonia> DJ-Stone: show me the url
[12:47] <killaz> kitche: oh what makes you think that?
[12:47] <tiekyl> is there any way to embed a terminal onto your desktop?
[12:47] <DJ-Stone> sec
[12:47] <kitche> killaz: debian closed their bug stating it's a driver issue
[12:47] <killaz> kitche: that means an older driver should work...
[12:47] <varka> Riky: please paste your /ect/X11/xorg.conf here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[12:47] <not_a_k> what's the deal with this new "generic kernel" concept? is this explained somewhere? do i not need hardware specific kernels?

[12:49] <Paradoxx> da
[12:49] <ikonia> DJ-Stone: not if you don't even know how to access it, that suggests you don't understand what and how it will change your system
[12:49] <kitche> killaz: yes that is the Xserver
[12:49] <DJ-Stone> I ask, how do I install openssl0.9.8e in ub 7.04 server
[12:49] <CarlFK> DJ-Stone: the only thing on the 'snapshot' that you 'need' is the installer.  after that, it just uses the same repository mirros
[12:49] <winbond> anyone in here a hometheatre fool?
[12:49] <jrib> james296: well a bunch of your user files are owned by root
[12:49] <DJ-Stone> I know it coudl break my system, i am prepared for that
[12:49] <CarlFK> DJ-Stone:  so if you wan't to break your system, it isn't very hard.. :)
[12:49] <killaz> kitche: I only know Xorg and Xfree86, but ubuntu comes only with xorg right?
[12:50] <james296> ummm, that didnt work though...
[12:50] <DJ-Stone> ya it's never hard to break a linux system
[12:50] <kitche> killaz: yep xorg is modular so xserver=xorg
[12:50] <jrib> james296: do you have any special ownership of files setup in your HOME?
[12:50] <DJ-Stone> So... how do I setup my sources.list to use snapshot instead of 7.0.4
[12:50] <james296> let me check
[12:50] <ikonia> DJ-Stone: read up on gusty
[12:50] <islan> DJ-Stone, but then again, not so hard to fix it sometimes\
[12:50] <killaz> kitche:  ah so you thought I hacked ubuntu and intsalled XFree86 ;-)
[12:50] <tiekyl> ubotu: I'm working on installing it right now, but it sounds like the program I have that opens a terminal with f12 at the top of my screen (yakuake?).  I'm working on figuring out a way to embed it right onto my desktop, almost like conky.

[12:51] <mikeyribbs> how do i install it?
[12:51] <varka> DJ-Stone: #ubuntu+1
[12:51] <kitche> killaz: no since nvidia does not work on 1.3 yet it seems
[12:51] <PreZLaptop> Another 8 months until my next uptime milestone
[12:51] <james296> no
[12:51] <Ahcoeur> somebody knows lex & yacc tools ? Thank you
[12:51] <Bakefy> looks like windows wins again
[12:51] <Administ1atorX> Do you think Canonical will sign a patent deal with Microsoft, like Novell has? I just read on OSNEWS.com that Xandros signed a deal with them as well.
[12:51] <Administ1atorX> Just want your thoughts
[12:51] <DJ-Stone> so if I change fiesty to Gutsy
[12:51] <james296> it still doesnt work...
[12:51] <CarlFK> Ahcoeur: I kinda know about them... whats the Q?
[12:51] <DJ-Stone> .... in sources.
[12:51] <killaz> kitche: so what do you think I should do next? Can I use nv for my tv out?
[12:51] <ikonia> Administ1atorX: thats best in #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:52] <jrib> james296: ok, then lets make sure all of your files are owned by your user: sudo chown -R $USER: ~
[12:52] <mikeyribbs> any one?
[12:52] <ikonia> DJ-Stone: read the links
[12:52] <Raziekiel> Every time I try to boot from cd (using both 6.06 and 7.04) I get the Kernal Panic Not syncing IO-APIC + Timer error. I tried using noapic like it said, but that didn't work either. What does this mean?
[12:52] <killaz> or go back to ubuntu 6.10
[12:52] <PreZLaptop> BTW - where should I request a patch be included in the kernel (it is available in the wild)
[12:52] <DJ-Stone> i read them, contain no info about updating to new Gutsy release.
[12:52] <stefg> Raziekiel: that means the kernel doesn't like your machine
[12:52] <killaz> cause I need my tv out... this box is my PVR in spe...
[12:52] <chuck> what is the german ubuntu channel on irc?
[12:52] <ikonia> DJ-Stone: you've not read them
[12:52] <jrib> chuck: #ubuntu-de
[12:53] <james296> nothing happened
[12:53] <ikonia> DJ-Stone: they are too quick to read in 2 minutes
[12:53] <stefg> !de | chuck
[12:53] <ubotu> chuck: Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de
[12:53] <DJ-Stone> no.....
[12:53] <Raziekiel> stefg: I've installed it before on here, is it something I've changed in my bios? The only thing I've changed is adding a new CPU cooler
[12:53] <DJ-Stone> maybe for someone who reads at slow speeds
[12:53] <CarlFK> Ahcoeur:  you want flex and bison packages
[12:53] <kitche> killaz: seens liek you need nv-tv-out
[12:53] <jrib> james296: restart the session properties (and you still aren't putting my name in your messages -- it makes it hard to follow you)
[12:53] <MugginsM> hrm, python packages in feisty amd64 seem really broken
[12:53] <PreZLaptop> ooh! my next uptime milestone is the highest milestone in the uptimed default config :)
[12:53] <ikonia> DJ-Stone: the link explains all about gusty - and how to update to it
[12:53] <jrib> MugginsM: why?
[12:53] <CarlFK> Ahcoeur: http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/devel/flex
[12:53] <ikonia> DJ-Stone: its clear you've not read all that in 2 minutes,
[12:53] <MugginsM> clearsilver is busted, psycopg2 is busted, any others?
[12:53] <KooGooShii> changing to /dev/scd0 didnt do anything
[12:53] <james296> jrib sorry
[12:53] <winbond> i need a atsc card that i want to use with the LMCE , looking for good quality picture
[12:53] <KooGooShii> cause /dev doesnt containt scd0
[12:53] <MugginsM> jrib: python-clearsilver doesn't work at all on feisty/amd64
[12:53] <stefg> KooGooShii: reboot
[12:54] <MugginsM> python-psycopg2 works a bit but then segfaults
[12:54] <KooGooShii> ok
[12:54] <ikonia> PreZLaptop: we don't care about uptime showing off, its for people who don't maintain their boxes
[12:54] <killaz> kitche: but does nv has glx?
[12:54] <MugginsM> (yes, other people have reported fixes)
[12:54] <MugginsM> I'm just worried there are other python package problems too
[12:54] <winbond> can anyone recommend any?
[12:54] <ikonia> winbond: check the hardware compatability list
[12:55] <james296> "jrib" so do I have to log off to restart session properties?
[12:55] <james296> "jrib"so do I have to log off to restart session properties?
[12:55] <jrib> james296: no, just close it and open it again
[12:55] <winbond> ikonia, ty, good idea
[12:55] <james296> close what?
[12:55] <jrib> james296: session properties
[12:55] <james296> the startup manager?
[12:55] <james296> thats what I have been doing
[12:55] <Ahcoeur> CarlFK are u there ?
[12:55] <jrib> james296: ok, but do it now after this last command
[12:55] <killaz> damn why is this tv out such a hell always
[12:56] <CarlFK> Ahcoeur: yup
[12:56] <DJ-Stone> seeing how I found it in a google search in ... less than 2 minutes of reading...  gutsy sources.list ubuntu which lead me to here.. with the simple answer... http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-446250.html
[12:56] <DJ-Stone> thank you for the info.. :) it worked out .
[12:56] <james296> nevermind
[12:56] <james296> it works
[12:56] <james296> :d
[12:56] <mc44> DJ-Stone: gutsy is likely to break
[12:56] <killaz> nv, nvidia thing is also a hell...
[12:56] <mc44> a lot
[12:56] <jrib> james296: try not to run gui apps with sudo
[12:56] <ikonia> mc44: don't start him off
[12:56] <PreZLaptop> ikonia, don't maintain their boxes? are you suggesting that its impossible to have a long uptime on a properly maintained box?
[12:56] <ikonia> PreZLaptop: I don't want to discuss it
[12:56] <DJ-Stone> now time to try to break the machine mawhahhah!
[12:57] <PreZLaptop> heh, course you don't.
[12:57] <BecenG> pike_: it didnt work
[12:57] <jrib> DJ-Stone: why don't you just put it in a virtual machine?
[12:57] <Mikeh> I installed a dark theme for GTK, Beryl & Metacity, and now all my default fonts are light grey, hard to see on the few programs websites with white backgrounds & default fonts, any way to change them without changing the theme?
[12:57] <ikonia> PreZLaptop: this is a support channel so its not appropriate
[12:57] <DJ-Stone> that would be to much like easy :p
[12:57] <DJ-Stone> and i am to lazy to finish installing my vmware.. i am at .. disk partion.
[12:57] <ward_> does anybody know a good gamepad to MIDI application?
[12:57] <ward_> i want to use my gamepad as a MIDI controller
[12:57] <ward_> can' find anything for linux...
[12:58] <jrib> DJ-Stone: vmware is installed with a single command
[12:58] <PreZLaptop> ikonia, do I lose my support if my machine has been up over a certain amount of time? because its 'poorly maintained'? ;)
[12:58] <mc44> DJ-Stone: ok then, but please don't use this channel for gutsy support
[12:58] <ikonia> PreZLaptop: I've just explained why I don't feel it appropriate to discuss it
[12:58] <killaz> I will be very glad if Ubuntu tries to deal with the nv,nvidia tv-out hell .....
[12:58] <PreZLaptop> ikonia, I'm needling you man.
[12:59] <ikonia> killaz: its nothing to do with ubuntu
[12:59] <CarlFK> DJ-Stone: check out qemu  - I like it better than vmware.  (but it is only so usefull for testing )
[12:59] <killaz> ikonia: explain....
[01:00] <ikonia> killaz: issues with nvidia/tv out are nothing to do with ubuntu
[01:00] <tanath> can anyone help me get this video walkman working?
[01:00] <PreZLaptop> ikonia, however you *DID* ignore my REAL question - ie. who to talk to/email/etc. about a kernel patch being put into the ubuntu kernel build.
[01:00] <CarlFK> tanath: probably not.  best to post about that on the forums
[01:01] <pike__> tanath: i dont know what a video walkman is..what are you trying to do with it? transfer files?
[01:01] <ikonia> PreZLaptop: what sort of patch ?
[01:01] <ikonia> PreZLaptop: I missed the question on a patch
[01:01] <tanath> pike__, ever hear of a walkman?? the newest ones do video as well
[01:01] <tanath> pike__, yes
[01:01] <PreZLaptop> ikonia, a patch that will enable the sierra wireless cards (common in laptops with 3G networking support, common on the better Lenovos) on driver load.
[01:01] <killaz> the bug is not a ubuntu issue, I agree. But why is it such a hell to make tv-out work. I mean I dont need to reconfigure my sound for example. Maybe I'm thinking to easy?!?
[01:02] <ikonia> PreZLaptop: have you written the patch ?
[01:02] <PreZLaptop> the patch is available in the wild, but I tried to compile a kernel with the support - kernel compiled fine, the restricted modules was another matter, some kind of black magic going there
[01:02] <PreZLaptop> ikonia, no, I found it online
[01:02] <killaz> I dont need to configure my monitor to work....
[01:02] <PreZLaptop> on the LKML
[01:02] <tanath> pike__, like a video ipod...
[01:02] <CarlFK> killaz: is TV out = s-video ?
[01:02] <ikonia> PreZLaptop: if you feed it in to the upstream kernel it will get included eventually once its classed as stable
[01:02] <killaz> so why tv-out you need to edit redit, and rere-edit the config....??
[01:02] <PreZLaptop> ikonia, someone already put them upstream into the kernel, which is why its on the LKML
[01:03] <pike__> tanath: yeah if you cant mount it and drop the correctly encoded video..id check forums
[01:03] <CarlFK> killaz: kuz you didn't get it right the first time :)
[01:03] <ikonia> PreZLaptop: sit tight then, its on it way
[01:03] <tanath> pike__, i can transfer files via usb connection, but it doesn't see them. you need to use the sonicstage software
[01:03] <Ahcoeur> CarlFK look your private chat :p
[01:03] <PreZLaptop> ikonia, that doesn't help me now, which is why I was asking if it could be included in the patches unbuntu applies to vanilla kernels
[01:03] <killaz> CarlFK: true :-)
[01:03] <ikonia> PreZLaptop: I doubt ubuntu will accept that sort of patch
[01:03] <lwizardl> hi
[01:03] <pike__> tanath: might consider vmware. its a little drastic but should work for running the app in xp.. or seamless desktop i guess which uses qemu
[01:04] <KooGooShii> hmm, changing to /dev/scd0 didnt work after reboot
[01:04] <martman_> is it possible todo a minimal/console install from a normal cd(like the ones you get in the mail)?
[01:04] <PreZLaptop> I would be content to patch the kernel myself then compile my own, but I've yet to find instructions on how to get the restricted modules to compile properly
[01:04] <ikonia> PreZLaptop: however you could package it yourself for your own personal use, you seem pretty aware of how eveything works
[01:04] <lwizardl> I'm trying to get qemu to work so I could install xp inside 7.04
[01:04] <PreZLaptop> I got the kernel/headers compiled fine, and could boot off that, but the restricted modules would not compile for love or money
[01:04] <KooGooShii> still not mounting dvds, it mounts blank dvds, but doesnt read/mount data/video dvds
[01:04] <ikonia> PreZLaptop: there is a guide on the ubuntu forums
[01:04] <killaz> CarlFK: but I didnt need to get my monitor to work the first time....sorry I'm just frustrated. I mean I tried everything, configured many times to come to know it's just a bug.
[01:04] <CarlFK> lwizardl: /join #qemu :)
[01:04] <cweagans> martman_: do an ubuntu server install
[01:04] <mc44> PreZLaptop: you could try on #ubuntu-kernel for questions about accepting patches, or file a bug
[01:04] <lwizardl> k
[01:04] <CarlFK> killaz: is TV out = s-video ?
[01:04] <PreZLaptop> ikonia, the part about restricted modules was terse at best, just plain wrong at worst.
[01:05] <martman_> cweagans can i do that without downloading a new iso?
[01:05] <PreZLaptop> mc44, 'k - coz there are a lot of lenovo (ie. thinkpad) users about - and being able to use the sierra wireless card is a big win
[01:05] <zero-9376> can someone tell me why i might have an extra wifi0 interface showing up in ifconfig that doesnt actually exist on my system?
[01:05] <PreZLaptop> one less reason to boot to windows, the 3G networking works under linux :)
[01:05] <cweagans> martman_: you could install the base system and remove everything you dont need, but other than that, no
[01:05] <zero-9376> its not in /etc/network/interfaces
[01:05] <killaz> CarlFK: I dont get your question. Ae you asking if I have s-video? ues I have s-video....
[01:06] <killaz> ues = yes*
[01:06] <CarlFK> killaz: is tha tthe TV out you are tyring to get working?
[01:06] <KooGooShii> gah dont remember who was helping me ~_~
[01:06] <killaz> on my MX/MX400 gfx card I have a s-video tv-out yes...
[01:06] <pike__> zero-9376: i use an atheros card and for some reason have same thing.. an ath0 that i use and a wlan0 that if i take down renders the ath0 useless.. never really investigated it
[01:06] <pike__> zero-9376: in feisty that is
[01:07] <stefg> KooGooShii: maybe the device is somthing else (i admit that i took a shortcut and guessed that it will be scd0... ) But i still think that the device name for the optical drive in fstab is the cause.
[01:07] <KooGooShii> ah
[01:07] <CarlFK> killaz: it might help if you didn't call it TV.  s-video is easier than TV.  TV generally implies modulation to a TV channel
[01:07] <PreZLaptop> though I will say it would be nice to be able to compile the restricted modules as easily as I compile the kernel, without having to modify files to change versions/etc.
[01:07] <KooGooShii> so how do i go about narrowing it down?
[01:08] <stefg> KooGooShii: and see if there's a link like /dev/dvd that points wrong
[01:08] <MugginsM> I think the whole point of the restricted modules being restricted is that they don't allow that kind of nice usability :)
[01:08] <KooGooShii> i know my hd(a-d) and sd(a-b) are my hdds, then i see cdrw,cdrom,dvdrw,dvd
[01:08] <xipietotec> is gtk2.4 in feisty?
[01:08] <CarlFK> killaz: i was able to get my nvidia card to treat the vga and s-vid as sepearate monitors, and used TwinView to get the s-vid to work
[01:08] <KooGooShii> dvd links to hdb
[01:09] <KooGooShii> as with dvdrw
[01:09] <killaz> CarlFK: what ubuntu Feisty?
[01:09] <KooGooShii> how can i change that to link to cdrom
[01:09] <KooGooShii> hmm
[01:09] <KooGooShii> cdrom/cdrw both link to hdb too
[01:09] <killaz> CarlFK:  with* Ubuntu Feisty?
[01:09] <KooGooShii> man this is so confusing lol
[01:09] <zero-9376> pike_: yeah im in fiesty too, i have two wireless cards ath0 and wlan0, then there is the extra wifi0 card, just tried disabling it and it killed ath0 card, well looks like there is a reason to keep it around
[01:10] <CarlFK> killaz: i think it was Feisty... but I found some stuff on the web after googeling,
[01:10] <fuu|4fk> yo!
[01:10] <fuu|4fk> :o
[01:10] <Stormx2> How do I kill X and everything that depends on it?
[01:10] <killaz> CarlFK: Are you using nv or nvidia?
[01:11] <CarlFK> killaz: nvidia (i think...)
[01:11] <Mikeh> I installed a dark theme for GTK, Beryl & Metacity, and now all my default fonts are light grey, hard to see on the few programs websites with white backgrounds & default fonts, any way to change them without changing the theme?
[01:11] <NickPresta> @Stormx2: Try Control+Alt+Backspace..
[01:11] <stefg> Stormx2: ctrl-alt-backspace
[01:11] <louis_> or ctrl alt f6
[01:11] <Stormx2> NickPresta: That will start it again
[01:12] <Stormx2> Ctrl + Alt + F6 just switches to tty6
[01:12] <louis_> ah k
[01:12] <killaz> CarlFK: lsmod | grep nvidia
[01:12] <NickPresta> Oh. You want to be at a functional console after you kill X?
[01:12] <evilxhwnd> hello, when i try to use iptables i get the following error: iptables v1.3.6: can't initialize iptables table `nat': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?). I am using Kernel 2.6.21 and it was compiled with iptables support. Anyone have any ideas?
[01:12] <Stormx2> NickPresta: mhmm.
[01:12] <Gothfunc> if canonical offer commercial services for ubuntu support, what happens to their income when they make ubuntu TOO easy to use? ;o
[01:12] <mage__> hey when I switch to like ctrl+alt+F1 through F6, it doesn't change the screen properly
[01:12] <dekos> hi there, i've just installed feisty fawn and there's no voice
[01:13] <dekos> have no idea what's the problem
[01:13] <neverblue2> i want to run gedit on a file I am accessing during my ssh session
[01:13] <mage__> "no voice"
[01:13] <Stormx2> "no voice"?
[01:13] <CarlFK> killaz: im not near that box - it is at home, I am on my laptop at my GFs
[01:13] <macd> evilxhwnd, did you 'sudo insmod iptables'
[01:13] <tanath> dekos, any other sounds?
[01:13] <Gothfunc> and will they take steps to ensure this doesn't happen? :P
[01:13] <slicknick> any idea why this isnt allowing sshd connections? http://pastebin.4programmers.net/2442
[01:13] <macd> Gothfunc, you always have "end users" and they always need support.
[01:13] <m1r> does anyone know what is elf described in this procedure ? http://www.toms.net/rb/tomsrtbt.FAQ
[01:14] <stefg> evilxhwnd: i'm pretty sure yor selfcompiled kernel is misconfigured (and doubt that it will be troubleshooted in here)
[01:14] <Gothfunc> macd:  maybe you would need LESS the better the software is
[01:14] <Gothfunc> macd: i'm mostly joking anyway
[01:14] <mage__> heh
[01:14] <m1r> i need it for floppy installation process
[01:14] <evilxhwnd> macd, insmod says "insmod: can't read 'ip_tables': No such file or directory" but modprobe works and when i do modprobe ip_tables -l i get /lib/modules/2.6.21.1/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.ko
[01:14] <Nutubuntu> Hi all. Looking to upgrade from Dapper to Feisty, starting with a new hard disk, but ending with my current /home from my old HD copied over. Later I hope to add a second HD as a RAID 1 mirror; for that I think I'll need LVM. Sanity check?
[01:14] <dekos> tanath, what do you mean by "other sounds"? i can open every songs or movies with my player but i don't hear anything
[01:15] <tanath> dekos, that's what i meant. you don't get any sound at all, right?
[01:15] <dekos> tanath, yes
[01:15] <tanath> dekos, did you check the volume on your speakers, and the volume control in ubuntu?
[01:15] <Despero> hey all, quick question. Is it alright to install Ubuntu on a hard drive that is currently formatted as NTFS with WinXP installed/
[01:15] <Despero> ?
[01:15] <Stormx2> So, any ideas on killing X totally?
[01:15] <evilxhwnd> so the module exists and loads. yet i still get that error.
[01:16] <stefg> !raid | Nutubuntu
[01:16] <ubotu> Nutubuntu: Raid and LVM --> very easy guide for alternate CD : http://users.piuha.net/martti/comp/ubuntu/raid.html Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[01:16] <m1r> yes despero
[01:16] <macd> evilxhwnd, and does it load, or did you not paste everything? assuming ip_tables module loads, ip_tables should work
[01:16] <Nutubuntu> t/y stefg :)
[01:16] <mage__> Gothfunc: some people have trouble grasping that all ball joint valves work in such a way that if you move the handle inline with the pipe, its all the way on
[01:16] <kitche> m1r: that is a very old howto
[01:16] <tony> hi.. can anyone tell me how to multi-task with an app that won't let the mouse cursor out of its window boundaries (enemy territory).. i
[01:16] <evilxhwnd> wel, there are no errors in dmesg
[01:16] <evilxhwnd> they're *
[01:16] <neverblue2> i want to run gedit on a file I am accessing during my ssh session, how do I do that?
[01:16] <tanath> dekos, go to System > Prefs > Sound, and play around in there. see if you can get any sound from that
[01:16] <m1r> kitche, u know any better option for floppy install ?
[01:16] <macd> evilxhwnd, and you do have a policy named NAT?
[01:16] <kaot> Stormx2: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop
[01:16] <mage__> Nutubuntu: dont *need* lvm for that
[01:16] <mage__> Nutubuntu: lvm just makes resizing areas like /home easily done, but if you allocate enough space for the OS and put /home on the end, you just expand the /home when necessary
[01:16] <pike__> neverblue2: you on another linux machine?
[01:16] <dekos> tanath, yes i did
[01:16] <kaot> Stormx2: (assuming gnome)
[01:16] <neverblue2> linux all around
[01:16] <Stormx2> kaot: Thanks. Yeah, gnome
[01:17] <evilxhwnd> well, i tried running iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
[01:17] <evilxhwnd> and get that error
[01:17] <pike__> neverblue2: ssh -X ipaddress
[01:17] <evilxhwnd> so, maybe i don't have a policy
[01:17] <Gothfunc> mage__: if i knew what you were talking about i'm sure i'd be impressed by the metaphor ;)
[01:17] <dekos> tanath, it doesn't work
[01:17] <macd> evilxhwnd, try sudo insmod iptable_nat
[01:17] <tanath> tony, alt+tab?
[01:17] <pike__> neverblue2: xforwarding is turned on i think in ubuntu's /etc/ssh/sshd_config file
[01:18] <_joe> let's say i selected several packages to be purged via dpkg, but they can't be removed because other packages depend on them, how can i toggle them back from "to be purged" status?
[01:18] <Despero> m1r: I read somewhere that's it's possible but not 100% efficient. did I understand that wrong?
[01:18] <evilxhwnd> macd, insmod: can't read 'iptable_nat': No such file or directory
[01:18] <neverblue2> so I need to have xforwarding enabled on the "connecting to" machine
[01:18] <tanath> dekos, is sound playback set to esd?
[01:18] <tony> tanath, it doesn't work.. the game won't allow any desktop based shortcuts to be used
[01:18] <tony> tanath, there is a red border around the window also
[01:18] <m1r> Despero , i would recomend partition magic , make one empty partition and put ubuntu there
[01:18] <neverblue2> on the machine I am sshing into*
[01:18] <kitche> m1r: only oen UI see is this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromHardDriveWithFloppies
[01:18] <budershank> mythtv-users
[01:18] <nickrud_> _joe, I'd try apt-get install --reinstall first
[01:18] <neverblue2> is that correct pike_ ?
[01:19] <eln01> can anyone lend a hand config dell 1390 wireless?
[01:19] <macd> evilxhwnd, then its very possible iptables support was not properly compiled into your kernel, or your just missing some modules, try to reconfigure your kernel then rerun make modules.
[01:19] <Gothfunc> *analogy?
[01:19] <m1r> ty kitche
[01:19] <pike__> neverblue2: on the server machine then just connect to is using the -X switch
[01:19] <tanath> tony, any particular reason you need to multitask while running the game?
[01:19] <_joe> nickrud_: aight, will do. thanks :)
[01:19] <kitche> m1r: you can try this also if you wanted http://efod.se/blog/archive/2006/11/29/installing-ubuntu-on-a-machine-with-no-cdrom-drive
[01:19] <tanath> tony, why not just quit when you need to do other things?
[01:19] <tony> well i like to idle on the server i'm administrating and do other things
[01:19] <Nutubuntu> Whoops -- gotta go ... thx all, back later :)
[01:19] <dekos> tanath, it is set to automatic
[01:19] <pike__> neverblue2: but you need an  x server running on client machine
[01:19] <tony> it helps attract players
[01:19] <tanath> tony, if you don't need the gui (X) you can switch to a virtual terminal
[01:19] <neverblue2> hmm
[01:20] <neverblue2> it seems to be a bit complicated
[01:20] <tanath> dekos, try esd
[01:20] <evilxhwnd> macd, alright, ill take another whack at it. i found a guide for gentoo http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Iptables_for_newbies and i have the same stuff enabled with my build. ill try again.
[01:20] <neverblue2> is there a tutorial, or what is it called that I am trying to do?
[01:20] <macd> evilxhwnd, is there any reason your compiling it?
[01:20] <dekos> tanath, i've changed it everywhere to esd but there's no difference
[01:20] <BDBMX> does anyone know why it wouldnt be able to mount a drive that cfdisk reports as being ext3?
[01:20] <tanath> dekos, also, make sure your speakers are plugged in the proper place (like, not the mic spot)
[01:20] <evilxhwnd> macd, what do you mean?
[01:20] <pike__> neverblue2: very easy as long as you are on a desktop environment and not working from just a shell. just open a terminal and type ssh -X whevercomputer -l username
[01:20] <kitche> BDBMX: look at dmesg
[01:20] <macd> evilxhwnd, iptables is enabled by default on ubuntu kernels
[01:21] <webmaren> my widescreen stopped working
[01:21] <neverblue2> pike_, its not really that easy
[01:21] <dekos> tanath, when i was running the ubuntu cd everything worked fine
[01:21] <m1r> kitche, this old laptop dont have lan card or cd rom :/
[01:21] <evilxhwnd> yea, and i used the same config from kernel 2.6.20? that comes with feisty
[01:21] <neverblue2> pike_, is it ssh tunnelling?
[01:21] <tony> k thanks tanath for ur help i'll read up on virtual terminal.. gtg cya
[01:21] <m1r> so my only option is "old" tutorial it seems
[01:21] <kitche> m1r: then you can't do a install from floppy
[01:21] <BDBMX> [ 2905.747608]  VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev sdb.
[01:21] <BDBMX> [ 2905.747608]  VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev sdb.
[01:21] <BDBMX> [ 2905.747608]  VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev sdb.
[01:21] <m1r> :/
[01:21] <BDBMX> sorry for flood
[01:21] <macd> evilxhwnd, Im still confused as to why your compiling a kernel
[01:21] <evilxhwnd> just changed it the processor to match my Athlon64
[01:22] <Despero> what does this mean: Note: most current Linux distributions, including Ubuntu, do not support write-access to NTFS partitions; only read access is supported. Write-access is available through commercial packages or in some experimental open-source packages which may be risky to use. See NTFSReadWrite for more info.
[01:22] <pinkster_> question, i installed amarok and i try to play a mp3 and it says "no mp3 support" and it hungs up. any idea?
[01:22] <macd> Ubuntu ships an amd_64 kernel
[01:22] <tanath> dekos, when you installed, how did you do it?
[01:22] <kitche> BDBMX: it would be /dev/sdb1 probably
[01:22] <BDBMX> ahh
[01:22] <BDBMX> lol sorry
[01:22] <stefg> !ntfs-3g | Despero
[01:22] <ubotu> Despero: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[01:22] <m1r> will browse some more but this dont seem good
[01:22] <evilxhwnd> macd, yes, but i wanted my own without useless modules. there is a huge difference between ram useage when using a prebuilt kernel and mine.
[01:22] <tanath> dekos, there's a shortcut when running the live version to 'install to disk'. if the live disc worked, you might try that
[01:23] <tanath> dekos, (if you can't get it wokring)
[01:23] <evilxhwnd> i only removed useless hardware drivers
[01:23] <startswithz_> would you guys recommend using the amd64 version of ubuntu or the i386 version on an amd computer?
[01:23] <macd> evilxhwnd, then you can just choose not to load the unused ones, by using blacklisting, but yeah try recompiling, you'll need to configure the entire kernel
[06:44] (noiesmo/#ubuntu) shokar: also after you make changes try reload windows desktop manager ie beryl
[06:44] (steve___/#ubuntu) anyone use kubuntu with thinkpad touch pad and nub?
[06:44] (kkathman/#ubuntu) what is the main gnome configuration tool command ?
[06:44] (shrimants/#ubuntu) ohhhh, srry. rodgo, just format the partition using either your other OS or using a boot disk
[06:44] (RodGo/#ubuntu) its just that i used to login as admininstrator, but then changed my login name
[06:45] (RodGo/#ubuntu) and now i cant login
[06:45] (warbox/#ubuntu) !alsa
[06:45] (ubotu/#ubuntu) If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[06:45] (PurpZeY/#ubuntu) steve___: If you are having touchpad problem, I'd recommend looking into qsynaptics.
[06:45] <imac1> did somebody have a screen resolution question?
[06:45] (RodGo/#ubuntu) then i tried to rename the /home/administrator dir to my new login name
[06:45] (RodGo/#ubuntu) and i cant enter gnome
[06:45] (shrimants/#ubuntu) imacl, it was resolved
[06:45] <RodGo> when i enter my login and pass i get an error and just cant enter
[06:45] <shokar> noiesmo: would my other desktops show in my buttom tray?
[06:45] <Ahadiel> RodGo: Your home dir doesn't need to be named the same as your username
[06:45] <shokar> like in an icon?
[06:45] <imac1> if so you must edit a file located at "/etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:46] <steve___> Purpzey: is that a tool i can run?
[06:46] <mage__> is there any place to see a list of updates? like I just want to see a list of updated packages for fiesty
[06:46] <RodGo> but how i can undo this modification
[06:46] <noiesmo> RodGo: you will need to chown -R username:usename path/directory to reset purmissions for new use
[06:46] <PurpZeY> steve___: Well, before you do that, what is the problem with your touchpad?
[06:46] <RodGo> and then?
[06:46] <RodGo> the dir used to be /home/administrator and the login was administrator
[06:46] <steve___> purpzey: it works, but the speed is coupled to my normal pointer
[06:46] <RodGo> when i changed the username from administrator to rodgo
[06:46] <noiesmo> shokar: to rotate cube try Alt+Ctrl+arrow key
[06:46] <steve___> purpzey: so, it's too fast
[06:47] <PurpZeY> steve___: Normal pointer being a USB mouse or some such?
[06:47] <steve___> the thinkpad keyboard nub
[06:47] <shokar> onlky arrow key that works is the up one, and that doesn't make a cube
[06:47] <shrimants> rodgo, wow that really messed crap up. if nothing else, boot from the live CD, mount the HD, copy your /home partition to external source, and do a clean install of ubuntu
[06:47] <shokar> it turns my current windows into thumbnails
[06:47] <mage__> chown rodgo:rodgo /home/administrator; mv /home/administrator /home/rodgo <-- trying to do that?
[06:48] <nat3> I have old machine, and don't want to upgrade from warty
[06:48] <PurpZeY> steve___: Can you adjust the sensitivity on the nub?
[06:48] <robert98374_> Hello Everyone!

[06:48] <RodGo> i can login in a terminal
[06:48] <RodGo> i cant enter gnome

[06:49] <RodGo> but i tried to do a mv to my home file
[06:49] <noiesmo> RodGo: just use the terminal to run command
[06:49] <RodGo> and couldnt
[06:49] <mage__> ah
[06:49] <shrimants> did u do the chown first?
[06:49] <noiesmo> RodGo: you'll need to use sudo
[06:49] <shokar> i have 1 question which is related, how do i know which desktops I have?
[06:49] <steve___> i just ran qsynaptics, it says the synaptic driver isn't installed

[06:52] <shrimants> ah
[06:52] <shrimants> lol
[06:52] <Nutubuntu> kurtti -  has it ever worked? If you have tried several apps and consistently failed to record, I'm thinking it's hardware

[06:53] <kurtti> I remember it worked earlier.. But I'm not sure
[06:53] <Nutubuntu> kurtti -  has it ever worked? Is it a new burner? Can you swap it out for a known-working unit?
[06:54] <clutchmm> I just got a new 250gig external usb hdd, do I need to format it, or can I just use it like a flash drive?
[06:54] <kurtti> it's my laptop's burner
[06:54] <kurtti> I guess it worked earlier
[06:54] <imac1> clutchmm: you shouldn't have to format it if you don't want to bother with doing so
[06:54] <n2diy_> clutchmm:  plug it in, what happens?
[06:55] <lekremyelse1> iv got a problem with beryl can someone help me?
[06:55] <clutchmm> n2diy_: my system opens a file browser to it, that's why I was asking
[06:55] <PurpZeY> lekremyelse1: maybe, what's the problem? if not see #beryl
[06:56] <shrimants> clutchmm, its probably in NTFS, i recommend formatting a chunk of it in FAT32
[06:56] <shokar> Hey, does anyone know how to add workspaces even after the picture on the bottom tray was accidently removed?
[06:56] <n2diy_> clutchmm: that it is good, the file system has been found.
[06:56] <spike723> anyone running ubuntu with extended desktop on another display?
[06:56] <imac1> clutchmm: you can also download ntfs-3g
[06:56] <lekremyelse1> when i enable it the top of the window where all the controls are disapear
[06:56] <kurtti> Could it be about the driver?
[06:56] <damageDOne> Dr_willis: Okay all sorted. Everythings working great. Thanks a lot for your help. I have to say it's people like you who make free software the best kind of software to use. Cheers
[06:56] <robert98374_> spike723 what version of Ubuntu are you using/
[06:56] <shrimants> shokar, you can do right click, edit panel, and then add it from there
[06:56] <robert98374_> ?
[06:56] <imac1> clutchmm: ntfs-3g will allow safe read/write access to ntfs drives
[06:56] <spike723> 7.04
[06:57] <n2diy_> clutchmm: the system sees it as another drive.
[06:57] <damageDOne> Also THANKS to everyone else who helped me.
[06:57] <clutchmm> I already have ntfs-3g that's how I mounted my win2k partition :)
[06:57] <shokar> shrimants: you are awsome
[06:57] <PurpZeY> lekremyelse1: I've seen a lot of people with that issue...Go to #beryl or #ubuntu-effects they can help you
[06:57] <clutchmm> n2diy_: yes, it opens as a blank drive that I have to unmount to unplug
[06:57] <lekremyelse1> ok
[06:57] <lekremyelse1> thx
[06:58] <shrimants> shokar, i would be if i could fix my own problems too
[06:58] <shokar> :P
[06:58] <Tom47> damageDOne: have admired yr own persistence
[06:58] <shokar> Wow, my cube still doesn't work, geezus im about to cry
[06:58] <shrimants> to be honest, i've had just about all of these problems before lol
[06:58] <n2diy_> clutchmm: ok, so you can play with it like any other storage device.
[06:58] <imac1> clutchmm: are you able to drag and drop files into the file browser?
[06:58] <kurtti> nutubuntu, any ideas how to test it?
[06:58] <clutchmm> I am planning on moving my VMs to the external drive so I can share them with my other systems
[06:58] <shokar> shrimants: the beauty of a new OS
[06:59] <xjkx> I saw a video on youtube where the desktop was 3d, what i need to do
[06:59] <Nutubuntu> kurtti -  last thought - can you READ from it?
[06:59] <imac1> clutchmm: are you able to drag and drop files into the file browser so far?
[06:59] <robert98374_> does fluxbox work well on Ubuntu?
[06:59] <kgibbs000> when i type hostname -f  it gives the full hostname with domain and all -- when i try to ssh into it from another machine it states host does not exist    any thoughts
[06:59] <kurtti> nutubuntu, yep
[06:59] <clutchmm> imac1: I haven't tried adding anything to it, I wanted to see if I needed to format it first
[06:59] <Nutubuntu> kurtti - and you're sure it's a R/W device?
[06:59] <shrimants> im trying to find a file that has all the devices listed and their "callsign", or however the OS actually uses the devices. i need to set my subwoofer and speakers (built in) as one device
[06:59] <kurtti> yes
[06:59] <imac1> clutchmm: if you can add files to it, you don't need to reformat it
[07:00] <clutchmm> imac1: k just a sec
[07:01] <Tom47> robert98374_: imho its very limited for others they admire its speed ... its all about tradeoffs and the eyes of the heholder ... try it and see
[07:01] <imac1> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24175/ can anyone tell me what is wrong with my cd reader drive?
[07:01] <Nutubuntu> kurtti - sorry, but I don't know what else to ask or try. I don't think it's likely that it's the driver, if you can read from the device.
[07:01] <clever> how do i connect to a bluetooth device with hcitool?
[07:01] <vIkSiT> hmm, has anyone here installed phpmyadmin through apt-get?

[07:02] <kurtti> well, have to take this back to the shop then..
[07:02] <ericlsx> OMG, only questions, no answers

[07:10] <shrimants> did you install those packages?
[07:10] <shrimants> you will need libdvdcss2

[07:11] <Noldoaran> hello, someone!
[07:11] <imac1> clutchmm: df -h will show the size of all drives on you system
[07:11] <Colossus> shrimants: Ah, okay. Nobody tipped me off to that one. Thanks.
[07:11] <shrimants> haha, no prob
[07:11] <true_man> why in the theme of channel is not a language written by default?? ))
[07:11] <clever> imac1: all currently mounted drives
[07:12] <shokar> hey, can someone tell me if the desktop cube works with the GTK themes or not?
[07:12] <imac1> clever: yeah, that is what I mean :)
[07:12] <clever> also i perfer cat /proc/partitions over fdisk
[07:12] <clever> doesnt need root
[07:12] <imac1> clutchmm: so what does df -h yield?
[07:12] <clever> less chance of a n00b killing his partition table
[07:12] <imac1> clever: yeah?
[07:12] <clutchmm> imac1: /dev/sda1             233G  2.9M  233G   1% /media/IOMEGA_HDD that is the usb drive, it's the only IOmega hardware I own
[07:13] <imac1> clutchmm: then thats your man :)
[07:13] <Colossus> shrimants: it works! Thank you!
[07:13] <winternacht> Does anyone know how to mount XFS?
[07:13] <imac1> clever: ah, because it is just a list of entries in a text file?
[07:13] <shrimants> lol @ sleep
[07:13] <clever> imac1: virtual text file
[07:13] <clutchmm> imac1: sweet, so will my VMs be cool with FAT32?
[07:13] <m1r> slepping is for pu#$%
[07:13] <m1r> ups
[07:13] <clever> imac1: but you can read it from any uid and it cant make changes
[07:13] <Nutubuntu> sleep is for those who cannot tolerate coffee
[07:13] <GSquared> shorter question: how can I setup a xsession file to set the screen resolution to something specific/use a different monitor than the default
[07:14] <m1r> i must report , after all night installing ubuntu to headless laptop (no cdrom,no boot from usb , no lan port), i got it up and runing
[07:14] <shrimants> sleep is for those who dont spend an excess of 5 hours of non-work-related time in front of the computer and go do such silly things as "hang out with friends".
[07:14] <imac1> clutchmm: they should be ;however, I don't know for sure as I don't work at all w/ VM's, I really doubt file type is an issue for it since fat32 can be read and written to by ubuntu by default
[07:14] <shrimants> jk jk
[07:15] <winternacht> anyone... XFS... how do I mount it?
[07:15] <kgibbs000> i fixed all my problems thank everyone for the help and i will cya tomorrow
[07:15] <m1r> cu
[07:15] <shrimants> wintermacht, whats the problem, do you just not know the command or is it giving you an error or what?
[07:16] <shrimants> try this http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man8/mount.8.html
[07:16] <winternacht> I just dont know the command thanks Ill check that out
[07:16] <shrimants> yup
[07:16] <clutchmm> imac1: well, I'll copy the VM file to the external drive and see if I can access it, if not I'll format a chunk in ext3, what partitioning program would be best for that?
[07:16] <bur[n] er> clutchmm: gparted :)
[07:17] <pwnguin> what controls whether the power off menu shows hibernate / suspend or not?
[07:17] <imac1> clutchmm: "cfdisk" always works nice too, depends if you prefer command line or the gui
[07:17] <clutchmm> bur[n] er: Thanks
[07:17] <imac1> clutchmm: I don't think gparted comes installed on ubuntu's hd installation though
[07:17] <imac1> clutchmm: but cfdisk does
[07:17] <m1r> OMG
[07:17] <shrimants> ok, its been like an hour,  i'll ask again, is there a file that has the devices/hardware list in it? i need to see how my speakers are listed and then edit that file
[07:17] <m1r> i even got wlan working
[07:18] <m1r> tnx to all who helped
[07:18] <bur[n] er> gparted is on the livecd... or available via apt
[07:18] <imac1> shirmants: I think you can use "lspci" to view that
[07:18] <shrimants> imacl, i wanted to edit that file, thats the tricky part
[07:18] <bur[n] er> shrimants: you have usb speakers or something?
[07:18] <clutchmm> imac1: I'm still learning the cli since I have only been with Linux for about a month..... and people think I'm nuts for trying to compile my own kernel for the ps3 :)
[07:18] <pwnguin> lspci isnt a file
[07:18] <shrimants> the problem im having is that the subwoofer and speakers are manipulated different
[07:18] <n2diy_> shrimants: I doubt you'll find your speakers, but you should find your sound card with lshw.
[07:18] <shrimants> everything is built in, its a laptop
[07:19] <winternacht> oh god errors
[07:19] <pwnguin> shrimants: you need to check out alsaconf and alsamixer
[07:19] <shrimants> i have alsamixer
[07:19] <bur[n] er> shrimants: you still won't find "speakers" as n2diy_ pionts out... you'll find your sound card
[07:19] <ramorek> *can anyone help me with the update to fiesty from edgy ?
[07:19] <shrimants> wait
[07:19] <shrimants> i dunno if i do
[07:19] <bur[n] er> !upgrade | ramorek
[07:19] <ubotu> ramorek: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[07:19] <imac1> clutchmm: ooh neat, so you can run something on it other than "yellowdog"?
[07:19] <winternacht> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc
[07:19] <shrimants> bur[n] er, in device manager it lists my speakers
[07:19] <winternacht> oh god no ;_;
[07:20] <pwnguin> shrimants: are they usb or something?
[07:20] <ramorek> im getting errors when updating
[07:20] <bruno> i had a problem during the upgrade of ubuntu
[07:20] <ramorek> Failed to fetch cdrom:[Ubuntu 5.10 _Breezy Badger_ - Release i386 (20051012)] /dists/breezy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz Please use apt-cdrom to make this CD-ROM recognized by APT. apt-get update cannot be used to add new CD-ROMs
[07:20] <bur[n] er> pwnguin: they're built in to shrimants laptop
[07:20] <shrimants> no pwnguin, built in. 2 speakers and a sub
[07:20] <pwnguin> a laptop with a sub?
[07:20] <pwnguin> brutal
[07:20] <bur[n] er> ramorek: comment out that line in your /etc/apt/sources.list file
[07:20] <shrimants> yeah its HUGE its like an inch or something
[07:20] <ramorek> ??
[07:20] <shrimants> lol
[07:20] <ramorek> i delete it ?
[07:21] <Hobbsee> ramorek: yes
[07:21] <shrimants> ramorek, add a # sign before it, dont delete
[07:21] <Hobbsee> ramorek: btw, breezy isnt supported anymore
[07:21] <clutchmm> imac1: Oh yeah!!! I have Feisty on it right now, IBM has released a new compiler that actually uses all 7 SPEs of the ps3's cell processor, all current builds are compiled with GCC which only uses 1 SPE
[07:21] <bur[n] er> ramorek: breezy?!?!?  damn...   alt+f2, type "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" and add a "#" before the CDRom line that is referenced, save the file and run "sudo apt-get update" from term again
[07:21] <bruno> A problem occured during the update. This is usually some sort of network problem, please check your network connection and retry.
[07:21] <ramorek> but im on edgy not breezy
[07:21] <chris_> What's a good virtual machine program that isn't VMWare?
[07:21] <shrimants> ramorek, upgrade to feisty and 90% of your errors will fix themselves
[07:22] <bur[n] er> ramorek: you started with breezy?  went to dapper, then edgy?
[07:22] <ramorek> yea
[07:22] <GSquared> shorter question: how can I setup a xsession file to set the screen resolution to something specific/use a different monitor than the default
[07:22] <shrimants> chris_: google?
[07:22] <bruno> can someone help me?
[07:22] <imac1> clutchmm: ooh, nice, so I suppose you are getting some great performance then eh?
[07:22] <chris_> I figured it was easier wasting other people's time who might have first hand experience with the topic.
[07:22] <ramorek> i think all the files stayed behind
[07:22] <bur[n] er> chris_: innotek's virtualbox
[07:22] <chris_> Thanks.
[07:22] <shrimants> Gsquared, theres a xsession reconfigure command that i cant remember, its in ur xorg.conf file, last commented line. run that
[07:22] <ramorek> i wish i knew how to clean this thing up
[07:23] <n2diy_> GSquared: as a seperate user, with different config files?
[07:23] <shrimants> ramorek, define clean
[07:23] <bur[n] er> ramorek: they didn't... just follow my advice about commenting that line
[07:23] <ramorek> ok
[07:23] <ramorek> clean as in i know kind of how to use this thing but i dont feel like i am in control
[07:24] <bur[n] er> ramorek: read docs.ubuntu.com more often :)
[07:24] <ramorek> im hazzy when it comes to knowing how the whole file system sturcture is and such
[07:24] <GSquared> Ideally I want it to be a multi-user session, basically my computer is connected to either a standard monitor or a projecor, I want a default session for the monitor and a special session for when it is connected to the monitor
[07:24] <shrimants> ramorek, in my experience with the last 5 times ive had to reinstall the OS from trying to get complete control, its actually better not being in complete control
[07:24] <bur[n] er> ramorek: i meant help.ubuntu.com rather :)
[07:24] <ramorek> thankx burner
[07:24] <ramorek> shrimants i like to now whats going on
[07:25] <clutchmm> imac1: Well...... not yet, I said I was "trying" to build a new kernel, the compiler was written for FC 5 and I am having trouble installing it on Feisty, also it is in powerpc architecture so I can only install it on my ps3, the only nice thing is ssh, samba, and vnc from my laptop to my ps3, and I am having trouble finding people to give me a hand
[07:25] <ramorek> im just used to the ease of windows.. but ill get the hang of this
[07:25] <n2diy_> GSquared: so create two users, one for the monitor, and one for the special monitor.
[07:25] <shrimants> ramorek, me too, but every time i got ahead of myself, the system got a critical failure. i figure that until i get the entire thing running so smoothly that i know what each and ever file does, im not gonna mess with the whole administrator type thing
[07:26] <protocol1> whats the best program for VPN access in ubuntu?
[07:26] <protocol1> as a client?
[07:26] <bur[n] er> protocol1: network-manager-ovpn :)
[07:26] <pwnguin> clutchmm: have you tried installing on a dead badger first?
[07:26] <GSquared> n2diy_: but how do I describe in the xession file what resolution to set it to?
[07:26] <shrimants> i mean on windows, im under the administrator account, not the one it makes you set up. but in ubuntu its too delicate to have me blundering around the file system not knowing what im doing
[07:26] <GSquared> or wait, is that what shrimants was talking about?
[07:26] <clutchmm> imac1: I thought I had it but when I tried to compile I got a bunch of errors all from the same file that range from files not found to unused variables
[07:26] <Hillview> hm, anyone familiar with the quake2-data package?  I think I'm missing a step :)
[07:26] <imac1> clutchmm: hmmm, yeah there aren't many ubuntu ppc user I don't think, I am running ubuntu ppc right now off an old imac
[07:26] <bur[n] er> protocol1: but i'd also say that depends on an openvpn server that you connect to... a client is only as good as the server it connects to
[07:26] <shrimants> GSquared, say what?
[07:27] <protocol1> I am looking for a client
[07:27] <shrimants> oh right
[07:27] <bruno> i failed to upgrade ubuntu breezy
[07:27] <GSquared> :)
[07:27] <Nutubuntu> ramorek -  if you're "used to the ease of windows" just give it time. I was too; Ubuntu's easier for virtually everything I do now. Just took awhile to get used to the ease of really easy.
[07:27] <Toulouse> hey guys, what version of VNC should i use? (tightVNC, VNC, others...) for linux to linux in my house
[07:27] <ramorek> cool shrimants i feel the same way learn the system then get into admin
[07:27] <clutchmm> pwnguin: what is a dead badger?
[07:27] <bruno> can someone help me?
[07:27] <n2diy_> GSquared: ah ha, now you know what questions to ask. I don't know, I run a plain jane monitor here, GL.
[07:27] <TaJMoX> windows is easy - but its borked
[07:27] <bur[n] er> bruno: download the feisty iso :)
[07:27] <ramorek> will do nutubuntu
[07:27] <GSquared> :) im trouble, trouble I say! never do it the easy way
[07:27] <PurpZeY> bruno: You have to upgrade from breezy to edgy, I believe.
[07:27] <Toulouse> !vnc
[07:27] <ubotu> VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX
[07:27] <ramorek> just not used to the fact i cant run everyhting i need
[07:28] <shrimants> gsquared: go to /etc/X11 and open xorg.conf. theres a command it will tell you you can run. its like dpkg reconfigure something or the other, its the last commented line. run that command
[07:28] <Toulouse> !freennx
[07:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about freennx - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:28] <TaJMoX> !freenx
[07:28] <ubotu> FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX
[07:28] <Toulouse> which is better?
[07:28] <n2diy_> GSquared: :)
[07:28] <TaJMoX> thanks ubuntu!  i'll check it out!
[07:28] <kurtti> nutubuntu, I just burned a dvd and it worked.
[07:28] <spikeb> ramorek: you might be able to, just a matter of figuring out what does what you need in linux :)
[07:28] <bur[n] er> bruno: you need to go breezy -> dapper -> edgy -> feisty
[07:28] <bruno> yes
[07:28] <TaJMoX> toulouse vnc has been pretty much THE remote desktop for years
[07:28] <clutchmm> imac1: here is my first compilation try, if you or anyone else would like to see it http://paste.f-box.org/181
[07:28] <bur[n] er> bruno: or just download the feisty iso and burn a cd :)
[07:28] <mobutu> actually i would like to know what is the different between VNC REALVNC and TIGHTVNC
[07:28] <Toulouse> yeah
[07:28] <Toulouse> me too
[07:28] <bur[n] er> tightvnc is faster
[07:28] <pwnguin> clutchmm: its similar to a live badger, only dead
[07:29] <Toulouse> can you do file transfers with those???
[07:29] <goban> hi i did sudo apt-get install spe, but i get this: You need to install at least wxPython v2.5.4.1 to run SPE.Get it from http://www.wxpython.org
[07:29] <imac1> kurtti: you had trouble with a dvd burn?
[07:29] <ramorek> bur[n] er i add two ## ?
[07:29] <bur[n] er> tightvnc uses better encoding techniques to give you more speed... no file transfer
[07:29] <shrimants> bur[n] er, cant he just add the feisty repositories to his sources.list and then sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop?
[07:29] <imac1> clutchmm: cool, thx, I shall look at it
[07:29] <clutchmm> pwnguin: ok, so what is a badger? :) other than an animal
[07:29] <kurtti> imac1, actually with cd burn
[07:29] <bur[n] er> ramorek: just one is necessary, but two will work as well
[07:29] <Nutubuntu> kurtti - if dvds burn and cds don't burn ... hardware problem, seems to me.
[07:29] <Toulouse> can any of them do file transfer
[07:29] <Toulouse> ?
[07:29] <bur[n] er> shrimants: nope... not without a lot of pains
[07:29] <Toulouse> the remote viewers
[07:29] <bruno> bur[n] er: ok
[07:29] <ramorek> bur[n] er are all these things in the help doc's ?
[07:29] <winternacht> What ID do I set my disk to in fdisk if I want to make it XFS?
[07:29] <imac1> clutchmm: would it make it easier for you to compile if you had an old imac or something, because if so, you can get them on e-bay for like $50
[07:29] <bur[n] er> ramorek: probably somewhere :)
[07:30] <ramorek> lol
[07:30] <Gruelius> How do i do a network install if i need to use a wireless module?
[07:30] <shrimants> bur[n] er, what if he jsut does a clean install with feisty and then transfers his /home folder?
[07:30] <pwnguin> clutchmm: http://www.strangehorizons.com/2004/20040405/badger.shtml
[07:30] <ramorek> no one has a good blunt guide to ubuntu ?
[07:30] <bur[n] er> ramorek: help.ubuntu.com is a great resource... as are the forums
[07:30] <kurtti> nutubuntu, I'm beginning to think that's the case in here
[07:30] <bur[n] er> shrimants: that's what i'd do :)
[07:30] <ramorek> bur[n] er will do definately
[07:30] <bur[n] er> Gruelius: if it's a centrino, it will just work
[07:30] <TaJMoX> gruelius : use the alternate installer - configure your wireless in the terminal - run the installer
[07:30] <GSquared> shrimants: it looks like this command allows me to reconfigure xorg.conf, but thats the default x11 config, right? how can I create a per-user x11 config?
[07:31] <shrimants> ohhhhhh per user.
[07:31] <n2diy_> ramorek: blunt!!?? ;)  :)  :)
[07:31] <clutchmm> imac1: maybe, I hadn't thought of that, although the ps3 is powerpc64, and I believe the compiler has kind of high system requirements
[07:31] <GSquared> shrimants: or per-global session
[07:31] <ramorek> n2diy_ blunt as in straight out
[07:31] <shrimants> gsquared, i have no experience with multiple users, so im a bad person o ask on that
[07:31] <ramorek> lol
[07:31] <kurtti> Another, thing, I was trying to burn the Feisty image to install it. Now i just burned it to DVD, can I install it from that?
[07:31] <GSquared> no problem
[07:31] <bur[n] er> kurtti: probably... only one wya to find out
[07:31] <pwnguin> there's no reason for the compiler to have large minimmum system requirements
[07:31] <n2diy_> ramorek: ah, i c :)
[07:32] <Nutubuntu> kurtti -  I haven't tried an install from dvd; don't see why it wouldn't work though.
[07:32] <shrimants> i know you can create different login sessions similar to what you would do with Beryl, but i dont know how to get it to load a certain configuration
[07:32] <TaJMoX> remorek : http://www.pcmech.com/article/windows-to-ubuntu-transition-guide/ or http://www.linuxcompatible.org/Windows_to_Linux_Beginners_Startup_Guide_s45308.html
[07:32] <imac1> kurtti: were you having trouble burning dvds?
[07:32] <n2diy_> nick n2diy
[07:32] <imac1> kurtti: if so, how did you resolve this problem?
[07:32] <ramorek> bur[n] er will my beryl still work when i upgrade?
[07:32] <kurtti> imac1, DVD's burn, CD's don't
[07:32] <winternacht> oh man this sucks!
[07:32] <winternacht> I wanna use XFS darnit
[07:32] <winternacht> is XFS just a tyoe 83 in fdisk?
[07:32] <Gruelius> aint a centrino its a rt61 chipsets
[07:32] <GSquared> I know that files here: /usr/share/xsessions/something.desktop are used to create the gnome login screen session choices, I want to somehow add info to that something.desktop file (an xsession file I assume) that will say "when using this sesssion with any user, I want to make my resolution 600x800"
[07:32] <shrimants> winternacht, are the commands not working?
[07:33] <imac1> kurtti: hmm, what program did you use to burn?
[07:33] <pwnguin> winternacht: are you sure?
[07:33] <bur[n] er> ramorek: probably only better... might have to get new drivers, but it's uber-easy in feisty
[07:33] <winternacht> shrimants: I dont think so
[07:33] <ramorek> cool
[07:33] <pwnguin> winternacht: it doesnt like hard power offs at all
[07:33] <kurtti> cdrecord, k3b and many others
[07:33] <Tom47> ramorek begin at System>Help& Support ... its surprising what lies at yr fingertips
[07:33] <ramorek> bur[n] er you think dell will give good support on ubuntu?
[07:33] <winternacht> wikipedia said its cool with hard poweroffs pwnguin
[07:33] <shrimants> winternacht, try running gksudo nautilus
[07:33] <TaJMoX> winternacht : 83 is ext2
[07:33] <pwnguin> ramorek: if you pay for it
[07:33] <shrimants> and then go to the file system, its under /media
[07:33] <bur[n] er> i bought a dell :)
[07:33] <winternacht> ohhh TaJMoX
[07:34] <pwnguin> winternacht: that runs contrary to what my roommate experienced
[07:34] <shrimants> and then right click and mount
[07:34] <imac1> kurtti: could you paste your /etc/fstab file?
[07:34] <bur[n] er> I'm on it right now and it's great and fast :)
[07:34] <PurpZeY> bur[n] er: That takes all the fun away...=)
[07:34] <kurtti> imac1, what for?
[07:34] <shrimants> kurtti, fstab lets you automount
[07:34] <bur[n] er> PurpZeY: it makes the fun start... id on't worry about hardware support... i worry about writing python and php and important things :)
[07:34] <clutchmm> pwnguin: Nice! I'll share that with the Utah channel, they'll love it :)
[07:35] <pwnguin> winternacht: read the wiki more carefully
[07:35] <pwnguin> clutchmm: its an OLD joke
[07:35] <winternacht> ok pwnguin ;_;
[07:35] <kurtti> yeah, but the problem was with burning
[07:35] <imac1> kurtti: well, my pc machine is having just the opposite problem :)
[07:35] <imac1> kurtti: I can burn cd's but not dvd's
[07:35] <n2diy> clutchmm: where are you in UT, my sister lives in SLC.
[07:35] <clutchmm> pwnguin: I like it
[07:35] <shrimants> wintermacht, try gksudo nautilus, then go to /media and right click and mount
[07:35] <kurtti> imac1, let's change the machines
[07:36] <pwnguin> winternacht: my roommate wound up nuking his install in 2003
[07:36] <imac1> kurtti: yeah sure...hehe, but if you post your fstab, maybe we can figure out what is wrong with both of our machines
[07:36] <pwnguin> winternacht: the filesystem was "there" but his files "werent"
[07:36] <Meglo> hey, I installed grub over the MBR and moved the windows partition to the end of the drive (apparently beyond where a partition can be booted?). Windows still boots and grub doesn't even load. Any ideas?
[07:36] <winternacht> pwnguin: Will it kill files that are just being read?
[07:36] <pwnguin> winternacht: full of ^@ characters
[07:36] <bur[n] er> Meglo: set the partition to be "active"
[07:36] <pwnguin> winternacht: it journals meta data, but not the data itself
[07:37] <kurtti> imac1, the cd part in my fstab is  /dev/hdb        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
[07:37] <shrimants> meglo, boot into windows and use partition magic to re-edit the partition table, if all else fails
[07:37] <winternacht> so... if I am just reading back stuff ill be ok?
[07:37] <pwnguin> winternacht: the solution is to not pull cords willy nilly from your UPS
[07:37] <clutchmm> n2diy: I'm "temporarily" in Eureka which is about an hour south-west of SLC, following my house in Provo getting wiped out by a tornado and me having to sue my insurance company to fix it
[07:37] <bur[n] er> no no no
[07:37] <shrimants> not partition table, just partition
[07:37] <bur[n] er> partition magic is crap!
[07:37] <pwnguin> winternacht: and have a UPS
[07:37] <winternacht> cmon pwnguin
[07:37] <imac1> kurtti: darn, that is the exact same entry that I have for my machine :(
[07:37] <Meglo> Heh, well I was using partition magic to create ext3 and linux swap before installing
[07:37] <bur[n] er> that's the problem :\
[07:37] <Meglo> bur[n] er what doy ou mean by setting partition to active
[07:37] <bur[n] er> partition magic is the worst partitioner out there
[07:38] <ramorek> dude !!
[07:38] <pwnguin> winternacht: well, have fun playing with it, just remember the warning while you do and plan around it
[07:38] <bur[n] er> Meglo: open gnome partition editor via the livecd... right click on the ntfs partition... set active
[07:38] <winternacht> what does ext3 have over XFS?
[07:38] <n2diy> clutchmm: roger that. Bummer about the tornado, and the ins. company, GL!!!
[07:38] <kurtti> imac1, could your problem be on your drive? maybe it's only capable on reading dvd's but not burning
[07:38] <ramorek> i keep crashing when i hit shiftbackspace !!
[07:38] <winternacht> is it fast and stable?
[07:38] <bur[n] er> ramorek: upgrade ;)
[07:38] <ramorek> ARRR
[07:38] <ramorek> lol
[07:38] <shrimants> wow i have work in like 8 hours. must sleep. ta ta, every one
[07:38] <ramorek> i was in the process
[07:38] <bur[n] er> ramorek: or google for it.. it's a known beryl thing with breezy
[07:38] <weltschmerz> is there any program to non-destructively clip and concatenate mp3s?
[07:38] <ramorek> shrimants
[07:38] <imac1> kurtti: I sure hope not as it is a dvd burner and says so on the box :)
[07:38] <ramorek> no sleep
[07:38] <ramorek> lol
[07:38] <n2diy> ramorek:  well, stop doing that
[07:39] <pwnguin> winternacht: full data journalling, and it looks like ext2 when not mounted
[07:39] <Meglo> Well I could try that, thanks.
[07:39] <ramorek> its a mistake
[07:39] <bur[n] er> ramorek: just use metacity till you upgrade ;)
[07:39] <_Shade_> hi there
[07:39] <winternacht> ok i guess I will acquiesce to defeat then
[07:39] <_Shade_> how can i connect to a remote desktop on my kubuntu machine using a windows computer?
[07:39] <ramorek> thats another of my nightmares
[07:39] <bur[n] er> _Shade_: get ultravnc client or tightvnc client and type the ip of yoru linux computer
[07:40] <bur[n] er> _Shade_: on your kubuntu machine... run "krfb" and set it up to allow connections with a password
[07:40] <ramorek> i want to vnc into my machine on the same session
[07:40] <_Shade_> bur[n] er: and that's all?
[07:40] <bur[n] er> ramorek: so use vino or x11vnc or krfb
[07:40] <pwnguin> winternacht: if you back up regularly or dont care about your data, it's not a huge problem. esp on laptops.
[07:40] <bur[n] er> _Shade_: that's all... forward port 5900 if you're behind a router and want to access it when away from home
[07:41] <pwnguin> winternacht: but it's designed for data centers where they've got triple redundant power sources
[07:41] <ramorek> bur[n] er do the help docs teach you the cli mode ?
[07:41] <bur[n] er> ramorek: probably... you tell me ;)
[07:41] <pwnguin> winternacht: and hardware that can survive anyways
[07:41] <clutchmm> n2diy: Thanks, I HATE Eureka, it has a pop. of 600
[07:41] <winternacht> oh god i have new problems
[07:41] <ramorek> its help.ubuntu.com right ?
[07:41] <goban> hi i did sudo apt-get install spe, but i get this: You need to install at least wxPython v2.5.4.1 to run SPE.Get it from http://www.wxpython.org
[07:41] <bur[n] er> ramorek: yep... or "system -> help"
[07:41] <kurtti> imac1, what about the problem, you get an error or just a useless dvd?
[07:41] <winternacht> I just did mkfs /dev/sdc1 and it just started on its own does that mean it is formatting as ext3?
[07:42] <_Shade_> bur[n] er: i'm not sure how to forward the port though
[07:42] <imac1> kurtti: I get an error and a useless dvd
[07:42] <bur[n] er> _Shade_: login to your router... it's all done there
[07:42] <pwnguin> winternacht: good question..
[07:42] <imac1> kurtti: then again I have only tried to burn with nautalis so far'
[07:42] <bur[n] er> _Shade_: if they're both behind the router... then don't worry about it
[07:42] <kurtti> combo..nice. I get only the useless cd
[07:42] <clutchmm> n2diy: But my ex-stepdad had an extra house here and let my wife, daughter, and I stay here for just utils.
[07:42] <winternacht> hmm ill just df -l then right
[07:43] <ramorek> bur[n] er are you familiar with any virtual pc progs for ubuntu ?
[07:43] <bur[n] er> yep
[07:43] <winternacht> or fdisk -l
[07:43] <n2diy> clutchmm: and no doubt, they are close knit.
[07:43] <n2diy> clutchmm: that's a good deal, if there is work there.
[07:44] <ramorek> well is there any virtualization apps ?
[07:44] <winternacht> how do I know what type of filesystem my disk is ;_;
[07:44] <bur[n] er> ramorek: there are... vmware, virtualbox, xen, qemu, etc.
[07:44] <bur[n] er> winternacht: gparted? or "sudo fdisk -l"
[07:44] <ramorek> none that support 3d yet ?
[07:44] <winternacht> i did but it just says ID 83
[07:44] <winternacht> ;_;
[07:44] <CapriCorn^80> hi
[07:44] <tarelerulz> amarok, does not use my usb sound card ,but totem and mplayer and the rest of my system use it ?
[07:44] <_Shade_> bur[n] er: i'm not sure if i will manage to login to the router - i am not an administrator there
[07:44] <CapriCorn^80> how can i send message from linux to windows
[07:44] <CapriCorn^80> like we use netsend on windows
[07:45] <bur[n] er> ramorek: nope... though if ti's windows games you want... wine might work.... it plays WoW and Warcraft 3 and Starcraft and Call of Duty and more
[07:45] <ramorek> yea im happy with wow on crossover
[07:45] <RoAkSoAx> winternacht, in a terminal write: sudo fdisk -l
[07:45] <bur[n] er> _Shade_: sounds like you're stuck then
[07:45] <winternacht> ok roaksoax but im formatting atm
[07:46] <bur[n] er> 83 == ext3 I think
[07:46] <clutchmm> n2diy: hell yeah, you can't go anywhere in this town (one gas station or the other) without people getting in your business. No work either, luckily I was a union boilermaker and traveled all over the country for work...... until I screwed up my back and had a doctor tell me I had to change jobs, now I have to sue workers compensation of Iowa to get them to pay for it.
[07:47] <xp_prg_> anyone good at pg_hba.conf postgres config?
[07:47] <_Shade_> bur[n] er: should i have the krfb thingy in tray or somewhere? It dissapeared when i applied these new settings
[07:47] <n2diy> clutchmm: Roger that, GL, before we get booted to offtopic.
[07:47] <CapriCorn^80> how can i send message from linux to windows
[07:48] <PurpZeY> CapriCorn^80: A message?
[07:48] <CapriCorn^80> like we use netsend on windows
[07:48] <bur[n] er> _Shade_: it should be running... doesn't need to be int eh tray
[07:48] <bur[n] er> _Shade_: ps ax |grep krfb in a term to verify
[07:48] <clutchmm> n2diy: yeah sorry :)
[07:48] <n2diy> CapriCorn^80: ftp?
[07:48] <n2diy> clutchmm: I don't care!!!
[07:49] <_Shade_> bur[n] er:  5634 pts/1    R+     0:00 grep krfb
[07:49] <startswithz_> I am trying to reinstall ubuntu right now.  I want my main system on sda1 and my home folder on sda3
[07:50] <startswithz_> in the manual partition what do I do exactly? should I assign sda1 to /boot or /
[07:50] <bur[n] er> _Shade_: hence it's running and awaiting a vnc client :)
[07:50] <bur[n] er> _Shade_: er... i lied, it's not
[07:50] <administrator_> ;l
[07:50] <administrator_> jrhj
[07:50] <CapriCorn^80> like we do it on window .. net send 172.16.4.99 "Your IP address conflicts with one of our Server. Please contact at 237"
[07:50] <xjkx> Starting Tomcat 5 servlet engine using Java from /usr/lib/jdk: (AND THEN IT DOESNT OPEN)
[07:50] <CapriCorn^80> like we do it on window .. net send 172.16.4.99 "hello how are u "
[07:51] <CapriCorn^80> like that
[07:51] <PurpZeY> CapriCorn^80: Is it for intranetwork, or for clients?
[07:51] <administrator_> admistrator
[07:51] <xjkx> tomcat on ubuntu

[07:52] <clutchmm> imac1: does an older imac have good system resources?
[07:52] <kkathman> !tuxracer
[07:52] <ubotu> Tuxracer is now renamed Planet Penguin Racer! The package is planetpenguin-racer in !universe. Enjoy.
[07:52] <_Shade_> bur[n] er: i think i shouldn't close the main window - the output is now different
[07:52] <xjkx> !tomcat5.5
[07:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about tomcat5.5 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:52] <bur[n] er> _Shade_: i think you can... i'm 100% sure
[07:53] <kkathman> i would enjoy it if I knew how to start it hehe
[07:53] <bur[n] er> _Shade_: try to vnc from a pc on the same network to your local ip address
[07:53] <imac1> clutchmm: not really great something like 400mhz and 128mb of ram
[07:53] <sk8inrox> Has anyone ogtten Engage to run succesfully on ubuntu feisty?

[07:54] <n2diy> xjkx: the syntatx is <! target | command>
[07:54] <clutchmm> imac1: hmmm... let me check the requirements for the Octopiler and see if that's enough
[07:54] <xjkx> n2diy: this shit doesnt know tomcat
[07:55] <PurpZeY> !ohmy
[07:55] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[07:55] <bur[n] er> sk8inrox: i haven't got engage to work, but awn works here to show a dock
[07:55] <xjkx> sorry
[07:55] <imac1> clutchmm: k, let me know if it is I'm kinda curious myself :)
[07:55] <n2diy> xjkx: ?? No need to curse.
[07:55] <Small_Mac> how can i uninstall ubuntu/kubuntu without causing windows to be unbootable
[07:55] <sk8inrox> bur[n] er, Yea I'm running AWN now..is there a magnify feature for it?
[07:55] <Small_Mac> i don't have windows cd btw so can't really use it to fix mbr
[07:56] <RoAkSoAx> Small_Mac, when u erase it, you can use tour windows recovery cd to do a : fixmbr on windows DOS
[07:56] <imac1> Small_Mac: format the partition from windows
[07:56] <bur[n] er> sk8inrox: got me, i only played a short time ;)  I'm back to simple gnome panels :)
[07:56] <clutchmm> imac1: nope, here: http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/cellcompiler/requirements
[07:56] <imac1> Small_Mac: I know it can be done, right click my computer and go to manage, I don't remember the steps after that though :)
[07:57] <startswithz_> I cannot get my new install to boot.  I tried to manually partition the harddrive but I think I messed it up.  Can someone help me?
[07:57] <imac1> clutchmm:wow now that is a beefy compiler
[07:58] <sk8inrox> bur[n] er, lol yea, I mainly need a dock that can do magnify and double as a window selector
[07:58] <bur[n] er> sk8inrox: got me... i can tell you the different docks... kiba-dock, awn, engage, and the gdesklet thing (though it doens't show running apps)
[07:58] <imac1> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24175/    can anyone tell me what could be wrong with my cd reader drive based on my messages file?
[07:59] <clutchmm> imac1: yeah, but since each of the 7 SPEs of the ps3's cell is clocked between 2.5 and 3 Ghz I get all hot and sweaty just thinking about it :)
[07:59] <n2diy> sk8inrox: Do you know you can magnify with ctrl - +?
[07:59] <m0u5e> Hey, does anyone know how to see how much memory your GPU has?
[07:59] <Nutubuntu> shift change here too - g'night all
[08:00] <imac1> clutchmm: well I guess you can always spend an arm and two legs for a new macintosh....
[08:00] <imac1> :)
[08:00] <clutchmm> imac1:  and the cell BE(as it's known) can borrow resources from other ps3s that are online and boost it that much more without slowing down the systems it borrows from
[08:00] <n2diy> m0u5e: lshw ?
[08:00] <imac1> clutchmm: you mean like a cluster?
[08:01] <DARKGuy> Hey guys, I'm about to "move" my Linux install to another drive (reinstalling Ubuntu in another drive). The !cloning method is a good & reliable one? I'm thinking on copying all my stuff (home folder, etc, var, and such) and using the method explained in !cloning. Will that work? I also have stuff like the nVIDIA drivers and other packages built from source, what will happen to these since they're not packages?
[08:01] <DARKGuy> !cloning
[08:01] <ubotu> To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type  dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages , move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type  sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade  - See also !automate
[08:01] <adnan_> hi
[08:01] <m0u5e> n2diy: but if we have an integrated graphics card, won't the ram just be whatever we assigned to it? :X
[08:02] <Peppery> Hi, how do I change a fairly default (apart from a few vhosts) apache2 setup under Ubuntu Server to save ALL logs (by date?) and not gzip any?
[08:02] <m0u5e> n2diy: lol it says 33MHz
[08:02] <sk8inrox> n2diy, With AWN dock?
[08:02] <n2diy> m0u5e: I don't know? What does lshw tell you?
[08:02] <adnan_> hi
[08:03] <m0u5e> n2diy: it says 128MB... but i know that cant be the case
[08:03] <clutchmm> imac1: yup, if someone is online(which the ps3 does automatically) and playing a game using 20% of their cell's power, you can borrow up to 70% of their unused power leaving 10% for sudden software boosts and if they need more you will loose some
[08:03] <adnan_> can you unmount partitions
[08:03] <Flannel> Peppery: that's not apache stuff, that's all logrotate stuff.  Er, unless you mean you want apache logging more than it already does.  That's in apache2.conf
[08:03] <n2diy> m0u5e: Well, that is what Linux sees.
[08:04] <m0u5e> :(
[08:04] <Peppery> Flannel: No, the current logs are fine, I just want to keep all of them for archival purposes.
[08:04] <imac1> clutchman: how do you set that up?
[08:04] <imac1> clutchmm: how do you set that up?
[08:05] <sree> hi all
[08:05] <Peppery> !logrotate
[08:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about logrotate - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:05] <sree> have a problem with my wifi card
[08:05] <Flannel> Peppery: alright, that's all done via logrotate, /etc/logrotate.d/apache2 (or something close to that)
[08:05] <PurpZeY> sree: What card?
[08:05] <jlei> hi sree
[08:05] <imac1> sree: any idea of the chipset?
[08:07] <sree> Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5005G 802.11abg NIC (rev 01)
[08:07] <pwnguin> Anyone know how I make the GNOME power off menu show hibernate / suspend options?
[08:07] <jlei> does anyone have a clue why IRC and AIM might be working but not Firefox can't find any servers?
[08:07] <sree> i can see this in lspci
[08:07] <Peppery> Flannel: How would I go about configuring this logrotate?
[08:07] <jlei> I can't ping my router either
[08:07] <Peppery> jlei: Checked your proxy settings?
[08:07] <clutchmm> imac1: you need a program compiled for the cell BE(like a kernel done with Octopiler), there is a program called Folding @ Home that was created by Stanford Univ. for doing research computations. It is fastest on the ps3, but also runs on i386, powerpc, and AMD64 architectures
[08:08] <shwag> looks like Xandros sold out.
[08:08] <jlei> Peppery: no, how do I do that?
[08:08] <imac1> clutchmm:  ooo, sounds interesting
[08:08] <imac1> worth research
[08:08] <n2diy_> jlei: has your router's ip changed?
[08:08] <sree> jlei, imacq: Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5005G 802.11abg NIC (rev 01)
[08:09] <imac1> well, goodnight to all of this channel :)
[08:09] <sree> the funny thing is i can see this in output of lspci
[08:09] <jlei> n2idy: no, it's the same as it always was
[08:09] <Flannel> Peppery: it's all in that file, uh... `man logrotate` has some info on it including examples.  But I don't think you'd be adding anything, just tweaking and/or removing.
[08:09] <n2diy_> jlei: Hmm???
[08:09] <m1r> how do i change video adapter if i placed hdd with install in other pc ?
[08:09] <sree> but when i configure ath0 in network interfaces i get a invalid devide "ath0" error
[08:10] <sx67> how do I install pidgin?
[08:10] <jlei> n2diy: I have a dynamic IP from my ISP
[08:10] <n2diy_> jlei: can you ping your router?
[08:10] <PurpZeY> sx67: You have to compile it from pidgin.im it's not too hard.
[08:10] <jlei> n2diy: but I don't think the IP changed
[08:10] <jlei> n2diy: no
[08:10] <rescon> someone give me a channel that usually has some pretty good convo going on
[08:10] <Small_Mac> anyeone know how i can uninstall ubuntu in a way that'll allow window to still boot correctly, i dual boot right now
[08:11] <jlei> n2diy: destination host unreachable
[08:11] <sx67> I have the source, now what? PurpZeY
[08:11] <clutchmm> imac1: hence my quest to create a new version of Ubuntu just for the ps3, also since all ps3s are the same once it works on one it will work on all because all the hardware is exactly the same, and there is a growing community online at http://www.psubuntu.com dedicated to Ubuntu on the ps3. I wrote a tutorial there for installing feisty on the ps3
[08:11] <Small_Mac> i don't have window cd so i can't fix mbr using window cd
[08:11] <atrus> wifi-radar successfully connects to my AP, but nm-applet just hangs on "attempting to join <network>". what can i do to get this working?
[08:11] <ramorek> question please
[08:11] <n2diy_> jlei: no, you can't ping your router?
[08:11] <ramorek> while updating the Configuring mdadm came up is this normal ?
[08:11] <jlei> n2diy_: no, can't ping the router
[08:11] <n2diy_> jlei:  you can't ping your router?
[08:11] <Flannel> Small_Mac: You need to remove all of ubuntu except grub (on a tiny partition, like 50mb maybe), then you can still boot windows with grub.
[08:11] <sx67> how do you ping in the terminal?
[08:11] <jlei> n2diy_: sorry, was missing _ from your name :)
[08:12] <jlei> n2diy_: destination host unreachable
[08:12] <Peppery> Flannel: Okay, what would I be doing?
[08:12] <PurpZeY> sx67: The instructions are inside the tar...extract the source to a dir in /home, the run ./configure
[08:12] <n2diy_> jlei:  ok, can you ping 127.0.0.1?
[08:12] <Small_Mac> Flannel thank god someone responded, i asked in couple other channels and no one active knew =)
[08:12] <ramorek>  -while updating the Configuring mdadm came up is this normal ?
[08:12] <jlei> n2diy_: yeah, localhost works fine
[08:12] <Small_Mac> Flannel how do i remove all of ubuntu except the grub?
[08:13] <n2diy_> jlei:  ok, can you  ping your ethernet card?
[08:13] <Flannel> Peppery: first, I'd read the man page.  Since it seems pretty informative.  Then, uh, backup what's there, and... try stuff.   I'm not experienced with tweaking it, your guesses are as good as mine
[08:13] <jlei> n2diy_: what's the address of my ethernet card?
[08:13] <Mac19> hh
[08:13] <Mac19> hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
[08:13] <thully> what are people using for iPod support these days?  Everything I've seen is primitive compared to iTunes...
[08:13] <ramorek> anyone ?
[08:13] <Flannel> Small_Mac: where's ubuntu currently?  before or after windows (probably after, I imagine) on the drive?
[08:13] <ramorek> bur[n] er you there ?
[08:14] <Small_Mac> Flannel it's annoyingly before windows, as in if i don't make a choice, it boots ubuntu
[08:14] <n2diy_> jlei:   I don't know!! :)   Run Iifconfig, does that find it?
[08:14] <Flannel> Small_Mac: You know you can change that, right?  That's just in GRUB, not on the drive.
[08:14] <Small_Mac> Flannel window is on C drive, and ubuntu is on some drive with a call letter after C
[08:14] <clutchmm> n2diy: Alright, this is on topic... I fired up Gparted and it found the external drive, but the option to resize the FAT32 partition is greyed out
[08:14] <Small_Mac> Flannel o ok, yeah ubuntu is after
[08:15] <Alysum> hello, my ubuntu is slow and I just noticed that 0% of the 4GB of swap is used, not normal is it ?
[08:15] <ramorek> n2diy_ cna you help me ?
[08:16] <n2diy_> ramorek: maybe, follow along with jlei, and myself, and maybe we can?
[08:16] <RoAkSoAx> Alysum, swap shouldn't be higher than 2GB
[08:16] <ramorek> n2diy_ : is he encountering the same issue ?
[08:16] <Flannel> Small_Mac: well, you'll need a liveCD to be able to delete and shrink the Ubuntu stuff, or you can just erase all of the Ubuntu stuff, and then reinstall GRUB (using the first link in !grub)
[08:16] <jlei> n2diy_:okay, I don't know which of these lines might be my ethernet card. But my inet addr: 192.168.0.102
[08:16] <n2diy_> ramorek: I don't know, what is your issue?
[08:16] <Alysum> ok but thats not the problem here RoAkSoAx!
[08:17] <ramorek>  while updating the Configuring mdadm came up is this normal ?
[08:17] <jlei> n2diy_: i pinged that, and it was okay
[08:17] <startswithz_> can someone help me manually set up the partition table from the install menu for kubuntu 7.04?
[08:17] <jlei> ramorek: AIM and IRC are working for me, but the browser can't find anything
[08:17] <RoAkSoAx> Alysum, if you have a swap partition higher than 2gb, it wont be used so it would be like if you have none
[08:17] <jlei> ramorek: I also can't ping my router
[08:17] <Despero> hey, does anyone know why Firefox auto-update isn't working for me in Ubuntu?
[08:17] <IndyGunFreak> Is there a limit on the folder size an ipod can sync with?
[08:17] <Alysum> really ?
[08:17] <n2diy_> jlei:   you pinged what, I asked you to run ifconfig, and report what your ethernet cand was.
[08:18] <ramorek> jlei : hmm
[08:18] <n2diy_> cand/card
[08:18] <thully> Despero: it doesn't work because it is included with Ubuntu updates
[08:18] <Despero> okay, so that's purposeful then
[08:18] <RoAkSoAx> Alysum, really, so maybe thats why it is slow, because it needs swap but since is higher than 2gb...
[08:18] <clutchmm> n2diy_: any ideas as to why gparted won't give me the option to resize the FAT32 partition of my external drive?
[08:18] <sx67> PurpZeY: Do you know how to fix the resolution on an intel extreme graphics card on a Dell 710m...
[08:18] <Despero> thanks, that's what I was wondering
[08:18] <thully> all updates to firefox come through there
[08:18] <Small_Mac> Flannel k, srry been googling, i'll try that, thx
[08:18] <Small_Mac> !grub
[08:18] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[08:18] <Despero> that makes sense
[08:18] <Despero> cool
[08:18] <ramorek> jlei : ping yourself (127.0.0.1)
[08:19] <n2diy_> clutchmm: is it a Dell machine?
[08:19] <Alysum> but thats funny if there is a big swap instead of taking advantage of it it doesnt uses it
[08:19] <PurpZeY> sx67: Not specifically...You can change your res in xorg.conf, but I don't know anything about particular issues with that.
[08:19] <jlei> n2diy_: i pinged 192.168.0.1
[08:19] <RoAkSoAx> Alysum, yeah that's right
[08:19] <clutchmm> n2diy_: nope, it's an MSI laptop
[08:19] <gwark> hi guys ... where does synaptic download the files to?   i'm reformatting and down want to re-download everything
[08:19] <ramorek> jlei : do you have more than one eth card ?
[08:19] <jlei> n2diy_: it's what ifconfig reported as inet addr
[08:20] <n2diy_> jlei:   is that your ethernet card?
[08:20] <Flannel> gwark: all apt stuff uses /var/cache/apt
[08:20] <jlei> ramorek: I have eth0 and eth1
[08:20] <sx67> brb
[08:20] <ramorek> jlei : are both enabled ?
[08:20] <jlei> n2diy_: that was under eth0
[08:20] <gwark> Flannel, thankyou kindly :D
[08:20] <jlei> ramorek: yes
[08:20] <thully> does anyone know of a good itunes alternative for using iPods in Linux?
[08:20] <RoAkSoAx> Alysum, you will have to resize your partition
[08:20] <Flannel> !ipod | thully
[08:20] <ubotu> thully: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto See !rockbox for information on liberating your iPod
[08:20] <ramorek> jlei : disable the one your not using
[08:20] <n2diy_> jlei:   is that your ethernet card, reported as eth0?
[08:20] <mdkaneda55> hey anyone ever have a prob where at login the GDM login picture stays on screen for quite a while, then no KDE applications work at all, when any ran in terminal, output says something about "only one line in DCOPServer file !"    anyone know what i should do to fix?
[08:21] <Alysum> ok tks
[08:21] <n2diy_> jlei:   ok
[08:21] <jlei> n2diy_: yes, that was under eth0
[08:21] <ramorek> jlei : the one with the inet addr of 192.168. etc.. is the active one
[08:22] <n2diy_> jlei:   ok, what happens when you run ifup eth0?
[08:22] <Small_Mac> Flannel can i do this assuming i'm installing feisty immediately afterwards: boot into windows, delete and reformat the entire partition that edgy currently uses, then shut down, and restart with feisty cd in cd rom (btw this laptop has no floppy drive, if that's at all useful info)
[08:22] <jlei> d2niy_:
[08:22] <jlei> jlei@jlei-laptop:~$ ifup eth0
[08:22] <jlei> ifup: failed to open statefile /var/run/network/ifstate: Permission denied
[08:22] <Flannel> Small_Mac: oh, you're installing feisty?  Just put the feisty CD in, and start installation
[08:22] <jlei> shoot, did I disconnect?
[08:23] <Alysum> its odd qtparted says my swap is 2GB
[08:23] <jlei> n2diy_:
[08:23] <jlei> jlei@jlei-laptop:~$ ifup eth0
[08:23] <jlei> ifup: failed to open statefile /var/run/network/ifstate: Permission denied
[08:23] <Alysum> whist it says 4gb in top cmd
[08:23] <RoAkSoAx> jlei, run sudo ifup eth0
[08:23] <ramorek> jlei : your still here
[08:23] <RoAkSoAx> Alysum, use: free
[08:23] <jlei> oh right
[08:23] <jlei> duh
[08:23] <n2diy_> jlei:   ok, what happens when you run,   sudo ifup eth0?
[08:24] <Alysum> free says 4096544
[08:24] <jlei> n2diy_:
[08:24] <jlei> jlei@jlei-laptop:~$ sudo ifup eth0
[08:24] <jlei> Password:
[08:24] <jlei> ifup: interface eth0 already configured
[08:24] <Small_Mac> Flannel ok, but i wanna fix my grub menu, it's all wierd right now, so many options, one of which is: window xp embedded (what the heck is this), and ubuntu 2.6.10, ubuntu 2.6.10 recovery mode (what is this lol), and also ubuntu 2.6.11 (where did this come from)
[08:24] <ramorek> anyone : im updating and i get "Replace the customized config file /etc/login.defs" should i keep or replace
[08:24] <IndyGunFreak> does anyone know why i can sync all but about 6 songs from my music folder, to my ipod, and i have about 1.8gigs free on my ipod?
[08:24] <ramorek>  im updating and i get "Replace the customized config file /etc/login.defs" should i keep or replace
[08:24] <RoAkSoAx> Alysum, so it is 4 gb
[08:24] <n2diy_> jlei:   and you can't ping eth0?
[08:25] <thully> what software are you using w/ your iPod?
[08:25] <jlei> n2diy_: no, I could ping eth0
[08:25] <IndyGunFreak> banshee
[08:25] <Small_Mac> Flannel also i'd like it to boot into windows by default as u mentioned earlier =) thx
[08:25] <jlei> n2diy_, ramorek: perhaps it was the second ethernet card that was causing trouble after all
[08:25] <n2diy_> jlei:   pinging eth0 works, no errores?
[08:25] <jlei> Firefox finds things now
[08:25] <Alysum> RoAkSoAx: how come it says 2GB in qtparted partition properties then ?
[08:25] <jlei> n2diy_: yes
[08:25] <thully> could the 6 songs be in a non-iPod supported format (i.e. ogg vorbis etc)
[08:25] <Small_Mac> Flannel i was thinking of erasing edgy first because i tried to manually install ndiswrapper and right now that's creating complicated problems
[08:25] <ramorek>  im updating and i get "Replace the customized config file /etc/login.defs" should i keep or replace
[08:26] <jlei> n2diy_: actually everything works now
[08:26] <jlei> n2diy_: I didn't do anything except turn off my wireless card
[08:26] <theshadow> how can I check hard drive statistics from the command line?
[08:26] <RoAkSoAx> Alysum, dont really know but try booting on recovery mode and change partition size with fdisk
[08:26] <ramorek> jlei : i have 2 NIC's and i disable the one not in use
[08:26] <Flannel> Small_Mac: No idea what the XP embedded is, but each of those versions is a different kernel version (each time you get a new kernel).  And all kernels have a standard, and recovery console.  So, # of kernels * 2 + others is the number of items you have.  Nothing "messed up" about it.  If you want to get rid of the extra kernels, you can remvoe them (linux-image-version) from whatever package manager you want (synaptic, for instance).  I
[08:26] <clutchmm> n2diy_: do I need to unmount the drive do partition it?
[08:26] <Alysum> ok
[08:26] <jlei> n2diy_, ramorek: that seemed to have worked :)
[08:27] <jlei> I can also ping the router now
[08:27] <theshadow> clutchmm: I would strongly reccommend that you umount it :P
[08:27] <ramorek> jlei : good stuff
[08:27] <Flannel> Small_Mac: If you reinstall feisty, all the stuff from edgy (including GRUB stuff) will be removed.  So you can remove edgy, the install feisty, or just install feisty.  Both with the same result
[08:27] <gabbarinho> my video resolution options seem to be limited - is there a way I can fix this? I do have the proper drivers installed
[08:27] <ramorek> can somone help me plz ?
[08:27] <ramorek>  im updating and i get "Replace the customized config file /etc/login.defs" should i keep or replace
[08:27] <jlei> n2diy_, ramorek: thanks guys
[08:27] <n2diy_> jlei:  Cool, sounds like a irJq conlfict o or somethin like that?
[08:27] <ramorek> jlei : no prob
[08:27] <Small_Mac> Flannel thx very much for the info, copy/pasting it down =), also does it matter which kernel i boot into, is that wasting my disk space, and would i see the same files in both kernels?
[08:27] <Flannel> Small_Mac: But, booting windows by default is a grub configuration thing (easily done).  Pretty much independant of everything else.
[08:28] <n2diy_> clutchmm: yes.
[08:28] <ramorek> n2diy_ :  im updating and i get "Replace the customized config file /etc/login.defs" should i keep or replace
[08:28] <theshadow> grayscale: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[08:28] <n2diy_> jlei:  Cool, GL.
[08:28] <thully> does anyone know how to rip AAC in Ubuntu?  The wiki instructions produce unusable AAC files...
[08:28] <Flannel> Small_Mac: Your newer kernels have bugfixes and stuff (thats why we get kernel updates).  They both boot to the same rest-of-OS though.  So, almost all of the bugfixes, you won't notice (theyre security/hardware/other behind the scene stuff)
[08:29] <n2diy_> ramorek: I don't know.
[08:29] <ramorek> ohhh ok
[08:29] <Small_Mac> Flannel i think i messed up some stuff in edgy, no idea what hehe, would feisty erase whatever i did to mess things up? and thx for answering all that questions
[08:29] <ramorek> does anyone know what the login.defs file is ?
[08:29] <olivier> Hello everyone, is there anyone familiar with Cedega, and that would be nice enough to lend me some spare time explaining me how to configure it for Guild Wars?
[08:29] <Flannel> Small_Mac: yeah.  Removing edgy and then installing feisty accomplishes the same thing as simply installing feisty.  Only one has an additional step
[08:29] <Twinxor> I'm having a thrilling night BUILDING EMACS WOOOOOO
[08:30] <n2diy_> ramorek: Sorry, I hate updating, and avoid it if at all possible, goes back to DOS 6.0 experineces
[08:30] <ramorek> n2diy_ : lol
[08:30] <ramorek> n2diy_ : i know
[08:31] <Small_Mac> Flannel would the simple install feisty option undo whatever crap i did in edgy, as in erase all files (which i'd like) that i installed in edgy?
[08:31] <Flannel> Small_Mac: yes.  It'll overwrite everything
[08:32] <tru3_man> How to break up Interet?
[08:32] <ramorek> Flannel :  im updating and i get "Replace the customized config file /etc/login.defs" should i keep or replace
[08:32] <ramorek> Flannel :  any ideas ?
[08:32] <Small_Mac> Flannel yay, great, srry for next newbie question: it'd erase both existing kernels right, and also how do i config grub to boot window by default, thx
[08:32] <ramorek> is there any way to view all usrs in this chat ?
[08:33] <Flannel> ramorek: Did you purposefully/knowingly change anything in there?  if not, then overwrite it.
[08:33] <ramorek> Flannel :  ok cool
[08:33] <ramorek> Flannel :  i dont remember maybe if its for beryl ?
[08:34] <n2diy_> ramorek: Yea, LOL now, but back then the restore involved 50 floppies, and three hours at the box. Not fun!
[08:34] <olivier> I repeat my humble request for help: Does anyone have knowledge about the configuration of Cedega? I can't get it to work right with Guild Wars.
[08:34] <Flannel> Small_Mac: Yes. It'll erase everything.  For grub, you'd edit your grub config (/boot/grub/menu.lst) and you'll add one line (safedefault) at the end of your windows entry, and then change the "default" option at the top to "saved" instead of 0.  But, probably be better to ask that after you've installed, since any changes you do now will get erased.
[08:34] <ronocdh> olivier: have you tried the Gaming & Leisure section of the Ubuntu Forums?
[08:34] <tru3_man> Why did beryl think of in general? He brakes the system only (
[08:35] <tru3_man> do I pound from those decorations?
[08:35] <ronocdh> also, have you checked the Cedega site and assured that it supports Guild Wars officially?
[08:35] <n2diy_> bye
[08:35] <Small_Mac> Flannel thx so much, i'll go reinstall now, thx =)
[08:35] <olivier> ronocdh: It is supposed to. Along with my GeForce FX 5200, it is reported to work.
[08:35] <ramorek> OMG !!!!!!!
[08:35] <ramorek>  IM GOING TO SHOOT THIS OS
[08:35] <ramorek> LOL
[08:35] <ronocdh> ok, that's good. have you asked the chaps over at the Gaming & Leisure
[08:35] <ramorek> here we go agaiin
[08:36] <n2diy_> system disconnect
[08:36] <GSquared> ahhh, im getting closer to a good question!:  In X11 I have configured 2 ServerLayout sections for 2 different monitor configurations.  How can I determine with ServerLayout gets used when x11 starts? via the xsession files in /usr/share/xsessions/
[08:36] <n2diy_> I'll be back.
[08:37] <olivier> ronocdh: Rather than asking them, I went around their forums, and searched for the answer. I see the problem I'm seeking to solve, try the solutions, but they don't work right. Must be a rare bug or something.
[08:37] <Assassin`> whats good for video taping beryl
[08:37] <Assassin`> or just like making a video of what your doing
[08:37] <Assassin`> :)
[08:37] <PurpZeY> Assassin`: I've used istanbul with mixed results.
[08:37] <n2diy_> False alarm, sorry. i'm good for 7.5 hours yet, or at least my connection is.
[08:38] <Assassin`> istanbul
[08:38] <Assassin`> is that in the synaptic
[08:38] <ronocdh> olivier: hm, I see. well I would advise you to post... I don't often visit the Gaming & Leisure section, but I've seen some great help happening there. if you do indeed have a special case, I think the odds are good that community troubleshooting will take place. ;)
[08:38] <PurpZeY> Assassin`: I mean, it works just fine...It's just not great. sudo apt-get istanbul
[08:38] <ronocdh> olivier: that said, how's your overall experience with Cedega been? I triple boot my MacBook Pro, and I only use Windows for games.
[08:38] <Assassin`> kk
[08:38] <Assassin`> thanks
[08:38] <ramorek> n2diy_ : good for 7 more hrs ?
[08:38] <Assassin`> i will try it :)
[08:38] <Assassin`> any others to try?
[08:39] <PurpZeY> I think there's one called xvid or something like that
[08:39] <PurpZeY> !info xvid
[08:39] <ubotu> Package xvid does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[08:39] <Flannel> Assassin`: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreencastTeam/RecordingScreencasts
[08:39] <olivier> ronocdh:Overall, I don't play much games, else than guild wars. The native games I played were satisfying enough.
[08:40] <Assassin`> ty
[08:40] <ronocdh> olivier: hm, ok. I'm still hooked on a mod of BF2, actually, and I hear BF2 is officially supported. I may yet check out Cedega. I'll likely give it a spin sometime this summer!
[08:40] <n2diy_> ramorek: Yes, my ISP disconnects after an 8 hour connection, regardless of what I'm doing. It is a major PITA doing down loads.
[08:40] <kraut> moin
[08:40] <ramorek> n2diy_ : why is that ?
[08:41] <ramorek> n2diy_ : what ISP ?
[08:41] <olivier> ronocdh: If I get to work my problem out, windows will only stay on this little box for work.
[08:41] <michup> hi, ive question, what program can i use to create dvd format files, i mean like add menus to my video like in dvd's for example to member weding film?
[08:41] <ronocdh> n2diy_: do you have a good download manager, such as DownThemAll for Firefox, or are you just using torrents? DownThemAll has helped me out a lot at times when I had poor connectivity.
[08:41] <n2diy_> ramorek: ISP policy.
[08:41] <PurpZeY> Some policy.
[08:41] <n2diy_> ramorek: wget
[08:41] <ramorek> n2diy_ : that sucks is that in the US ?
[08:42] <ronocdh> michup: have you tried the classic video editing software suites for Linux? I would assume several, if not most or all, would support DVD creation
[08:42] <n2diy_> ramorek: yes, Carbon County Pa.
[08:42] <ramorek> i wouldnt pay for that
[08:42] <hengha`> I am on Dapper, how to only upgrade php-pear and php5 ? I tried apt-get upgrade php5 but it gave me all the available upgraded packages
[08:42] <RoAkSoAx>  n2diy_ me neither even though i dont live in the states
[08:42] <ronocdh> n2diy_: tough living, man. is that dial-up? and ramorek, in Carbon County, he doesn't really have another option!
[08:43] <ramorek> n2diy_ : oh
[08:43] <ronocdh> (correct me if I'm wrong, of course. I'm in Philly.)
[08:43] <michup> what do you mean by classic video editing?
[08:43] <r4nge> is gij-4.1 The GNU Java bytecode interpreter required for ubuntu?  perhaps a package i installed depended on it but from the looks of it it is a huge cpu hog
[08:43] <michup> i mean which one is classic?
[08:43] <ramorek> damn
[08:43] <ramorek> you cant get satellite ?
[08:44] <ramorek> thats always an option
[08:44] <ronocdh> michup: KinoDV is a popular one. I've just found a link, though, which seems to indicate that DVD menu creation support is lacking in Ubuntu =(
[08:45] <juro_6> hi, I am trying to update PHP on a Ubuntu 6.06 (server edition) to a version > 5.2 . unfortunately this doesn't work. Can anyone tell me, how I should do this?
[08:45] <n2diy_> ramorek: roncodlh, yes, it is tough here, only one phone comapany and cable company. And they inventted cable tv here!
[08:45] <sogen> Hi can someo tell me how i can copy file to usb disk by using terminal ?
[08:45] <RoAkSoAx> juro_6, if you are using apt go to packages.ubuntu.com and verify if that version is available for dapper
[08:46] <juro_6> RoAkSoAx ... checking ...
[08:46] <gabbarinho> how do I set associate extensions with programs?
[08:46] <ramorek> n2diy_ : damn, lol, but cant you do satellite link ?
[08:46] <sogen> can someo tell me how i can copy file to usb disk by using terminal ?
[08:46] <RoAkSoAx> n2diy_, if lived in tofte,mn (where is no more than a resort) and we had much better internet connection
[08:47] <ronocdh> n2diy_: ugh, that's the good ol' US of A for ya. FWIW, Congress is trying to change the definition of broadband to be much more restrictive, meaning that far fewer locations in the US would be classified as having broadband, which should get some attention on the problem. right now anything above 200kbps qualifies as "broadband"!
[08:47] <RoAkSoAx> i only have 220kbps and i pay like $30, it sucks
[08:47] <ronocdh> roaksoax: location?
[08:48] <RoAkSoAx> ronocdh, Peru
[08:48] <r4nge> i see, openoffice requires gij ;/
[08:48] <m1r> hdd transfer problem! , i installed ubuntu on my main laptop (1) , then took HDD out and switch it to old laptop (2) without any input option (no cdrom, lan port or usb boot ), then after many many errors it managed to boot and i installed wlan usb on it to get network accses, now i am stuck with diferent hardware configuration from laptop (1) on laptop (2) and i cant get video adapter to...
[08:48] <m1r> ...work on more then 800x600, any tips what to do to get it to 1024x768 ?
[08:48] <juro_6> RoAkSoAx, there is no package available :( so either I upgrade to 7.04 or compile php?
[08:48] <n2diy_> ramorek: roncodlh,  Had a satellite link with my neighbor, worked great, until rain fade, snow whatever attetunuated tha signal. He moved, and I lost that connection.
[08:48] <ronocdh> roaksoax: ah, I see. man, bandwidth really should be a global priority right now. any issues with net neutrality down there?
[08:49] <RoAkSoAx> juro_6, compile or upgrade
[08:49] <ramorek> n2diy_ : damn, im grateful for my link, and were always complaining down here for fast service like verizon
[08:49] <RoAkSoAx> ronocdh, here it sucks, for 2mbps you can pay up to $300, and ISP keep using firewalls and restrict some services, it sucks
[08:49] <gabbarinho> net neutrality, net scheumality
[08:49] <gabbarinho> the internet is a series of tubes!
[08:49] <maan84> Hello, I'm in BitchX console right now:$ I used Envy program to install latest Nvidia drivers, and after restart x won't start says can't recognize screens, can i somehow install normal nvidia drivers with a sudo apt command and ill be able to get back in? thx^^
[08:50] <juro_6> RoAkSoAx, ok. thanx. btw I pay about 70$ for a 1 Mbps line and 3Gb cap ...
[08:50] <ronocdh> roaksoax: wow! and I thought we here in the continental states had it bad. I'll be living in Germany for a year next year, and I can't wait. I'm sick of always getting the short end of the technological stick >=(
[08:50] <ronocdh> juro_6: location/
[08:50] <Anton99> how i can play flash games in ubuntu? .swf files...
[08:50] <n2diy_> ronocdh: yes, and they are trying to do it with broad band over powerline, which sucks, it whipes out all the hf ham radio operators, including me.
[08:50] <maan84> Or can I reset the whole x system to default somehow? =P
[08:51] <juro_6> RoAkSoAx, Cape Town, South Africa. and my maximum dl speed is about 70Kb/s
[08:51] <RoAkSoAx> ronocdh, at least you have 1mbps, i only have 220kbps and a sucky service
[08:51] <mdkaneda55> maan84: in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file you can change "nvidia" to "nv" or "mesa" and you'll be able to boot graphically again. or you could run "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" from where u are and follow instructions to reset your xorg.conf file to what u want. just make sure u pick "nv" as ur video driver instead of nvidia
[08:51] <ronocdh> anton99: have you configured the Flash plugin for Firefox? are you running 32-bit Ubuntu or 64-bit?
[08:51] <maan84> mdkaneda55 thx ill try it out =)
[08:51] <RoAkSoAx> juro_6, south america have the worst speed connection and the higher prices i believe
[08:52] <RoAkSoAx> at least in peru!!
[08:52] <maan84> lol if i can close bitcx here
[08:52] <m1r> how to reconfigure hardware when HDD moved to diferent PC ?
[08:52] <Anton99> i have 32 bit but i have  64 bit kernel 'n' proc
[08:52] <juro_6> RoAkSoAx, maybe - I wouldn't know what could be worse than this though ....
[08:52] <Anton99> i can reboot to 64 bit
[08:52] <juro_6> RoAkSoAx, my IRC log has more line drops than messages
[08:52] <ramorek> .
[08:53] <ronocdh> anton99: I ask because if you are running 64-bit, Kilz (in the 64-bit Forum) has an excellent script that will get you up and running in no time, it installs 32-bit Firefox and configures the Flash and Java packages
[08:53] <clutchmm> n2diy_: my external drive now has a 118gig ext3 partition that my file browser labeled "disk" to copy a folder to it in the terminal I use "sudo cp -r path/to/folder /disk/folder" right? or is there a different path to the disk?
[08:53] <RoAkSoAx> juro_6, in the mornings i'm so lagged that i cant even use irc
[08:53] <RoAkSoAx> it is useless
[08:53] <gabbarinho> linux can use a FAT32 partition for reading/writing files, right?
[08:53] <juro_6> RoAkSoAx, maybe it isn't your connection but the people who haven't had sleep ;)
[08:53] <juro_6> gabberinho, yes
[08:54] <n2diy_> clutchmm: drag and drop?
[08:54] <Anton99> ronocdh where i can get it? i have compiled ffox but i need prog who can play .swf's and .flv's
[08:54] <gabbarinho> I was thinking that if I was going to dual-boot with a windows, i'd have a common partition just for storing videos, music, etc
[08:54] <RoAkSoAx> juro_6, hahaha oh it is the freaking firewall ISP is using!!
[08:54] <ronocdh> clutchmm: that syntax seems fine. remember to look up the exact location of your external drive as /dev/sda2 or whatever
[08:54] <bastid_raZor> linux can use ntfs to read/write as well
[08:54] <ramorek> dude i fi had restrictions on what i payed for ide go nuts
[08:54] <ramorek> ide attack my isp
[08:55] <ramorek> lol
[08:55] <ronocdh> anton99: I don't have a link on-hand, but go tot he x86 Ubuntu Forums and a chap there by the name of Kilz, he is the most frequent poster there, and his sig contains scripts that are very helpful
[08:55] <PurpZeY> I had a fight with my ISP a while back.
[08:55] <clutchmm> n2diy_: I was going to try that but I didn't know if one "sudo nautilus" window and one "Places > disk" window would let me do that
[08:55] <RoAkSoAx> ramorek, i call every single day to get this fix, everytime my IP changes it is the same thing
[08:55] <Anton99> ronodchp, thx
[08:55] <n2diy_> clutchmm: go for it!
[08:55] <ramorek> dude but tell them straight out
[08:55] <PurpZeY> They wanted to limit my upstreaming b/c I was downloading torrents. Except that the were absolutely legal legit torrents. But, I am in law school and I yelled a lot and they decided to uncap my bandwidth because I am so friendly.
[08:55] <RoAkSoAx> and we always recieve DoS attacks, and im so sick of it that im starting to give my ISP DoS asweel
[08:55] <ronocdh> gabbarinho: I triple boot OS X, Windows XP, and Ubuntu, and actually for filesharing I've come to use ext3 for everything. there are excellent installable filesystems for OS X and WinXP that make ext3 very usable
[08:56] <ramorek> what ?!
[08:56] <ronocdh> anton99: gladly. sorry I don't have a link; just search for Kilz in the forums and you'll find him fast!
[08:56] <ramorek> dude theyre not supposed to monitor your info
[08:56] <Anton99> ok, thanx
[08:56] <PurpZeY> ramorek: They just noticed my upstream traffic was very high.
[08:56] <ramorek> so what
[08:56] <ramorek> you could be running a server
[08:56] <PurpZeY> ramorek: I shouldn't be.
[08:56] <ramorek> why
[08:57] <PurpZeY> ramorek: I am a residential user. If I want to run a server I can pay for commercial service.
[08:57] <ramorek> no way
[08:57] <Anton99> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202537 here link :P
[08:57] <ramorek> well im happy here you cant get comm access in a resi
[08:57] <pg_apprentice> are there any people here accomplished at connecting to and routing to M$ PPTP VPNs?
[08:57] <PurpZeY> ramorek: And the thing is, I am sharing bandwidth with anyone on my node, so, if I am eating upstream everyone else is getting shafted. So, when they notice a high surge of upstream they cap the account temporarily.
[08:57] <ronocdh> that's it!
[08:58] <ramorek> but you live in a complex or something ?
[08:58] <immibis> ramorek: what is a node?
[08:58] <RoAkSoAx> bye ppl
[08:58] <pg_apprentice> so far I have spent probably 20-30 hours plus at it with feisty
[08:58] <immibis> i mean PurpZeY
[08:58] <ramorek> node = pc
[08:58] <immibis> ok
[08:58] <PurpZeY> ramorek: No...But cable shares bandwidth between users.
[08:58] <ronocdh> anton99: yup that's just what I meant
[08:58] <ramorek> yup
[08:58] <immibis> ok
[08:58] <PurpZeY> immibis: huh?
[08:58] <Anton99> ok, bye-bye :P
[08:58] <ramorek> and theres no dsl ?
[08:58] <immibis> ramorek: never mind
[08:58] <clutchmm> n2diy_: yeah, drag and drop gave me an error that moving to /media/disk didn't have the proper permissions
[08:58] <immibis> i mean PurpZeY again
[08:58] <immibis> sorry ramorek
[08:58] <PurpZeY> ramorek: In my estimation cable here is faster.
[08:59] <ramorek> forget estimation
[08:59] <immibis> lots of users
[08:59] <ramorek> i rather have a dedicated link
[08:59] <ramorek> either way though they should let you use your connection
[09:00] <ramorek> why else do you pay ?
[09:00] <PingFloyd> you also have less privacy on cable
[09:00] <PurpZeY> ramorek: I probably could run a server, but I was upstreaming quite a bit...
[09:00] <n2diy_> clutchmm: roger, kill nautilus, and in a terminal start it as gksudo nautilis.
[09:00] <PurpZeY> ramorek: I agree, that's why I called and made them fix it.
[09:00] <ramorek> thing is alot of "users" dont really use their connections
[09:01] <ramorek> so alot of isps get away with the charges
[09:01] <ramorek> and get pissed when you know something
[09:01] <Phylo> I need help getting my computer online wirelessly.  I just installed Ubuntu 6.0.  I went to System->Administration->Network Manager->Wireless Conneection properties
[09:01] <PurpZeY> ramorek: I am in total agreement with you...And I called and made them fix it back and they did...and I've done similar things since and haven't had a problem.
[09:02] <Phylo> enabled connection, set network name and pass and clicked ok
[09:02] <Phylo> what next?
[09:02] <ramorek> good, i pay for 6 downa nd i was getting 4.7, i called and bothered the hell out of them to the point they removed the cap to what its supposed to be
[09:03] <PurpZeY> ramorek: I did the same exact thing...In fact that was the reason I brought it up. Just to say, they tried to shaft me and I told them no.
[09:03] <Phylo> how do I restart my network stuff?
[09:03] <PurpZeY> WTF is waiterbot and who is sending things?
[09:04] <n2diy_> ramorek: thank you! my isp brags about unlimited access, but they don't mention the 8 hour auto disconnect!
[09:04] <ramorek> lol, cool, good to know theres some of us that actually act on the big guys who try to take us for granted
[09:04] <ramorek> n2diy_ ide call them up and tell them till they put out
[09:04] <PurpZeY> ramorek: I am in law school, very few people take advantage of me in that way.
[09:05] <PurpZeY> ramorek: And if they try they generally get a mouthfull.
[09:05] <ramorek> cool, im just in the field and see how people get done wrong.. and i hate being one of them
[09:05] <sx66> how do you get to safe mode in firefox on ubuntu
[09:06] <n2diy_> ramorek: I have, and the are linux folk, so we get along well, but policy is policy
[09:06] <n2diy_> clutchmm: ??
[09:06] <Assassin`> what about the little icon launchers u guys use?
[09:06] <Assassin`> what is it called
[09:07] <ramorek> not when they advertise otherwise, thats a good lawsuit
[09:07] <PurpZeY> applet
[09:07] <PurpZeY> Not really.
[09:07] <ramorek> 2 min left for the 7.04 !!
[09:07] <ramorek> cool beans
[09:07] <sx66> Assassin`: how do get to firefox in safemode?
[09:07] <PurpZeY> ramorek: You sign a contract, they make terms, if you sign, you abide.
[09:07] <ramorek> oh well, ide tell them im leaving
[09:07] <ramorek> lol
[09:07] <Assassin`> sx66: idk
[09:07] <ramorek> and grab a dish and point
[09:08] <PurpZeY> ramorek: That's precisely why they can make any terms they want...If you don't like it, go somewhere else.
[09:08] <sx66> anyone, know about safemode in firefox?
[09:08] <PurpZeY> sx66: Hold on, I'll look it up.
[09:08] <ramorek> how long are you down for though ?
[09:08] <sx66> PurpZeY: thank you, my buttons just disappeared when I started firefox, therefore safemode is my only hope
[09:08] <PurpZeY> sx66: /firefox -safe-mode
[09:09] <PurpZeY> My bad
[09:09] <PurpZeY> sx66: ./firefox -safe-mode
[09:09] <Assassin`> how do i get the applets
[09:09] <kRN^> re
[09:09] <sx66> no such file or directory PurpZeY
[09:09] <Assassin`> sorry im kinda new ">.<"
[09:09] <PurpZeY> Assassin`: what applets you looking for?
[09:10] <PurpZeY> sx66: did you see my second message?
[09:10] <Assassin`> those nice app launchers you guys use
[09:10] <n2diy_> ramorek: I think your talking to me? I'm only down for the time it takes me to recconnect.
[09:10] <Assassin`> instead of the taskbars at the top and bottom
[09:10] <sx66> I typed the second in the command line: ./firefox -safe-mode PurpZeY
[09:10] <Assassin`> you know like the ones that dance in beryl
[09:10] <ramorek> well
[09:10] <Assassin`> :)
[09:11] <ramorek> it should be like 2 sec ?
[09:11] <ramorek> then you just resume your d/l
[09:11] <PurpZeY> sx66: You might have to run it from the firefox directory...I'm not sure...I mean, I literally copied that off the firefox help page. You may have to include firefox-version or whatever...
[09:11] <PurpZeY> Assassin`: You talking about a dock?
[09:11] <Assassin`> i guess so
[09:11] <PurpZeY> !info kibadock
[09:11] <ubotu> Package kibadock does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[09:11] <computx> sx66 try  /usr/bin/firefox -safemode
[09:11] <puff> Hm, my keyboard is acting wacky... how do I check what sort of keyboard it thinks I'm using, and possibly reset it?
[09:12] <Assassin`> what?
[09:12] <Phylo> how do I restart my network?
[09:12] <PurpZeY> Assassin`: Most people like kibadock
[09:12] <Assassin`> it doesn't exist in feisty
[09:12] <Assassin`> i think thats the one i read about
[09:12] <n2diy_> ramorek: no, it takes that long for kppp to come back up, more like 30 to 60 seconds.
[09:12] <econobeing> whenever i click a link in gaim or skype it opens the link in konqueror, how can i make it open in firefox?
[09:12] <Assassin`> in the forums
[09:12] <Assassin`> but i don't know where to get it
[09:12] <PurpZeY> Assassin`: It might not be in the repos...I'm not positive, but you can download it. just google kibadock
[09:12] <Assassin`> and im tired
[09:12] <Phylo> can I upgrade to fiesty from edgy eft using a live cd?
[09:12] <Assassin`> ok

[09:14] <ramorek> i just upgraded to fiesty and no restart is required?
[09:14] <PurpZeY> axisys: Did you run it in safe mode?
[09:14] <Phylo> Madpilot:  ok, 'cause to upgrading Fiesty hardcore crashed my computer (had to completely wipe everything and reinstall WinXP and Ubuntu 6, Fiesty wouldn't install alone)
[09:14] <PurpZeY> Sorry.
[09:14] <PurpZeY> sx66: Did you run it in safemode?
[09:15] <n2diy_> ramorek: there i no where to move to, this town has one phone company, and one cable company, and they are both the same company.  :/
[09:15] <Madpilot> Phylo, ouch. My Breezy->Dapper install puked on me, but since then I've gone Dapper->Edgy->Feisty w/o issues...
[09:15] <sx66> it launch a normal window of firefox...
[09:15] <n2diy_> i/is
[09:15] <ramorek> damn
[09:15] <ramorek> ok does anyone know why this is happening ??
[09:15] <PurpZeY> sx66: You ran that command suggested above, safemode ran, and it gave a regular window? Someone else had suggested a different way to run safemode
[09:16] <|johnybot|> Any one know how to stop firefox from freezing when a tab with a flash movie is closed?
[09:16] <Phylo> Madpilot:  the problem started when my connection crapped out on me after downloading 645 of 649 MB of the install
[09:16] <Phylo> that was so gay...
[09:16] <ramorek> the update to fiesty finished and my top bar wont work wtf is up with the update?
[09:16] <Phylo> Madpilot:  you use Ubuntu wirelessly?
[09:16] <ramorek> how do i restart ?
[09:17] <clutchmm> n2diy_: crap the folder I want to move was created by vmware server and has a space in it, how do I get around spaces in file names in the terminal?
[09:17] <Phylo> ramorek:  restart what?
[09:17] <PurpZeY> ramorek: Not sure, but can't you just run shutdown from term?
[09:17] <PurpZeY> or powerdown
[09:17] <Madpilot> Phylo, no, I use long pieces of Cat5 to reach the internets. Safer that way.
[09:17] <ramorek> my box, i finsh'd the update and nothing works and i have a blank little dialog boc that wont close
[09:17] <|johnybot|> sudo shutdown now ?
[09:17] <sx66> PurpZeY: the command of /usr/bin/firefox -safemode ... launches a regluar window
[09:17] <Phylo> ramorek:  oh yeah duh
[09:17] <ramorek> phylo : ??
[09:17] <Phylo> Madpilot:  lol, WHAT?
[09:18] <PurpZeY> sx66: Try that command, but with safe-mode
[09:18] <Madpilot> "sudo shutdown -r now" - that'll restart the thing - (-r is 'restart')
[09:18] <Phylo> what it -h?
[09:18] <Phylo> halt?
[09:18] <Madpilot> Phylo, um, Cat5 = standard network cable - you know, the blue stuff.

[09:18] <ramorek> how do i know if the update worked ?
[09:18] <n2diy_> clutchmm: I don't know.
[09:19] <Phylo> Madpilot:  can you help me connect wirelessly?  I've done it before, I know it works
[09:19] <sx66> PurpZeY: the command of "/usr/bin/firefox -safemode" what? what do you mean safemode?

[09:19] <econobeing> how can i re-start my mic...daemon?
[09:19] <ThamHKI> PLEASE HELP ME!!
[09:19] <PurpZeY> sx66: You ran /usr/bin/firefox -safemode | I am suggested /usr/bin/firefox/ -safe-mode
[09:19] <PurpZeY> !caps
[09:19] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[09:19] <|johnybot|> we can?
[09:19] <|johnybot|> i mean what?
[09:20] <pg_apprentice> OMFG... I am about to cry
[09:20] <ramorek> dude
[09:20] <econobeing> my mic works for a while, but then just stops
[09:20] <ramorek> both my bars are frozen right after the update and i dont know what to do
[09:20] <PurpZeY> econobeing: Have you looked at alsamixer?
[09:20] <sx66> PurpZeY: does not work...:(
[09:20] <pg_apprentice> I just connected to the MS VPN some 20+ hours after initially starting to try
[09:20] <econobeing> what about alsamixer
[09:20] <Phylo> ramorek:  Try Ctrl+T
[09:20] <PurpZeY> sx66: What happens?
[09:20] <econobeing> i messed around with alsamiser to get my mic working in the first place
[09:21] <Phylo> ramorek:  does a terminal pop up?
[09:21] <econobeing> but then it'll just randomly die
[09:21] <ramorek> no
[09:21] <econobeing> but now*
[09:21] <ramorek> i can get one open thanks to the shortcut i had on the desktop
[09:21] <sx66> unable to locate: PurpZeY
[09:21] <Phylo> ramorek:  oh, then what is wrong with "sudo shutdown -r now"?
[09:21] <Madpilot> ThamHKI, do not PM people without asking first. Thanks.
[09:21] <ramorek> let me try
[09:21] <ThamHKI> Madkiss: Hi, I create one partition fat32 for extrat iso cd of ubuntun 7, and now, how I change boot for active partition of iso???
[09:22] <PurpZeY> sx66: What I am saying is, run firefox, the same way you did when you took the screen shot, the same dir etc...but instead of safemode safe-mode, is that what you did?
[09:22] <Phylo> ThamHKI:  why did you create a fat32 partition for Linux?
[09:22] <|johnybot|> ThamHKI: you want to boot a partition containing the CD's contents?
[09:22] <gordonjcp> ThamHKI: you can't create partitions on CDs
[09:22] <ThamHKI> |johnybot| yes
[09:22] <sx66> PurpZeY: yes
[09:23] <|johnybot|> ThamHKI: no clue but i thought i'd clear it up for some one who is good with ubuntu
[09:23] <PurpZeY> sx66: But running it, safemode works but it doesn't do anthing?
[09:23] <Tom47> ThamHKI what is your first language please
[09:23] <ThamHKI> |johnybot| :\
[09:23] <netdaemon> anyone play gnome-nethack?
[09:24] <Tazdevil> netdaemon: No is it a good game
[09:24] <sx66> PurpZeY: I get no buttons, I need to run safe mode to uninstall a theme that hides them..
[09:24] <ThamHKI> Tom47: I speak portugue more not have help in channel portuguese :{
[09:24] <netdaemon> Tazdevil, i wouldn't know, it crashes =\
[09:24] <longhorn> hi all
[09:24] <Tazdevil> netdaemon: ooops yup that would be hard to gather
[09:24] <Tom47> ThamHKI ah ... ok thats unfortunate
[09:24] <longhorn> what
[09:25] <ThamHKI> Tom47: you can help me ??
[09:25] <longhorn> yes
[09:25] <netdaemon> so i'm trying to figure out why
[09:25] <longhorn> what you would know
[09:25] <netdaemon> i'd very much like to play it
[09:25] <Tom47> ThamHKI i am having problems understanding what you are asking to be honest
[09:25] <longhorn> what
[09:25] <econobeing> so, any ideas how to get my mic to not stop working at random times?
[09:25] <denardo> Hi, all. I'm trying to set up the line in fstab for a vfat partition readwritable in both Linux and Windows but am a bit baffled by it. I had it working before my first attempt to upgrade to Feisty trashed my root partition (it's better after a reinstall).
[09:25] <n2diy_> what's up cowboy?
[09:25] <Phylo> is there any way to upgrade to Fiesty from Edgy using a Fiesty CD instead of downloading?
[09:25] <ThamHKI> Tom47: hum, if you want, i say again my problem..
[09:26] <|johnybot|> Tom47: he has the files from the 7.04 cd on a partition and wants to boot from that as if it were the CD
[09:26] <Tom47> ThamHKI can you say it differently please may have more luck
[09:26] <n2diy_> Phylo: sure, boot it, and run it.
[09:26] <ThamHKI> Tom47 lol :P
[09:27] <|johnybot|> Any one know how to stop firefox from freezing when a tab with a flash movie is closed?
[09:27] <n2diy_> longhorn, whatz up?
[09:27] <PurpZeY> sx66: Can you get a menu bar in firefox?
[09:27] <Phylo> n2diy:  do you know how to restart network connections without restarting the computer?
[09:27] <denardo> I *think* that's what's causing my Firefox & Thunderbird to complain that they're already running.
[09:28] <|johnybot|> yah
[09:28] <|johnybot|> have to kill em manually
[09:28] <Tom47> ThamHKI perhaps you need to burn th iso onto a cd ????
[09:28] <sx66> PurpZeY: no I can not, the screen shot of what you saw was with no menu bar, no text nothing, that theme disabled all of that...
[09:28] <bastid_raZor> normally if you stop the flash movie it will not crash
[09:28] <|johnybot|> yes, but i am an idiot
[09:28] <bastid_raZor> but trying to close the tab while a flash movie is playing it does crash.
[09:28] <crazee> ThamHKI - I have been trying to do what you are attempting
[09:28] <pirx> does anyone know what is the proper way to recompile some program in ubuntu that has been installed with apt? i want fork capability in apache, which i dont seem to have gotten by default
[09:28] <|johnybot|> and lazy
[09:29] <crazee> There are some guides around
[09:29] <crazee> But it has all failed for me
[09:29] <ThamHKI> Tom47: I resize my hd of 160GB and make 3 partions, one of 10GB FAT32, one of 1GB FAT32 and one 1GB linux swamp. I extrat all files of iso cd ubutun for partition 1GB FAT32 and now I want change boot of WIN for partition 1GB FAT32 for instalation Ubuntu!
[09:29] <crazee> Still I think itis worth a shot
[09:29] <denardo> What's baffling me most, I think, is umask.
[09:29] <PurpZeY> sx66: straight of Firefox wiki: /path/to/firefox/firefox -safe-mode
[09:30] <PurpZeY> sx66:     *  A window called Firefox Safe Mode with some troubleshooting options appears. At that point, you can either continue to Safe Mode or select some troubleshooting options and restart Firefox in normal mode to apply the changes.
[09:30] <bastid_raZor> ThamHKI you are retarded
[09:30] <ThamHKI> bastid_raZor Oo
[09:30] <PurpZeY> bastid_raZor: I think his english is just bad.
[09:30] <crazee> ThamHKI - try this link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2782630#post2782630
[09:31] <Phylo> yes, but painfully bad, I'm not even sure what he's trying to do
[09:31] <clutchmm> ok, I transferred my win2k VM to my external drive, but when I try to open it, I get an error that I don't have permission
[09:31] <crazee> ThamHKI scroll to the INSTALL FROM HARD DISK section
[09:31] <Phylo> though bad English is much better than just plain stupid
[09:31] <bastid_raZor> even if his engrish is bad, FAT32??
[09:31] <crazee> He is trying to boot from an iso image
[09:31] <Phylo> bastid_raZor:  I was wondering that too
[09:31] <sx66> PurpZeY: http://i11.tinypic.com/6bk8jkp.png
[09:31] <ThamHKI> crazee: thanks man
[09:31] <crazee> Which is theoretically possible, but I haven't been able to make it work
[09:31] <Phylo> ThamHKI:  you can't burn that .iso as a cd?
[09:32] <clutchmm> anyone have any ideas?
[09:32] <gabbarinho> just curious, have people found ways to use most mp3 players with linux?
[09:32] <ThamHKI> Phylo: not have cd for burn :P
[09:32] <gabbarinho> I am referring to the portable kind - ipod, creative, etc
[09:32] <crazee> FWIW, my cdrom drive is busted
[09:32] <Phylo> ThamHKI:  hmm, yeah I have no idea how to boot from an .iso
[09:33] <PurpZeY> sx66: I don't understand what I am to take from that. That's the extension you installed? If it is, why not try to bring the buttons back how it says?
[09:33] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho: i got a Apacer one and it works fine just have to remember to shift-delete
[09:33] <crazee> So sometimes booting from iso can be a lifesaver
[09:33] <thanhcrypt> \help
[09:33] <carlos_> how can I play two monitors on ubuntu ? I did conect a monitor on my laptop, and both screens display the same thing, how can I make it an extension of my laptop ?
[09:33] <|johnybot|> and my friends sony one works
[09:33] <gabbarinho> what does the shift-delete command do? :)
[09:33] <ThamHKI> Phylo: no more iso, now i extrat all files of iso for partition :P
[09:33] <sx66> PurpZeY: The arrow is not there...:(
[09:33] <denardo> Hmm. Unless I can fix this, I can't really use Linux here.
[09:33] <|johnybot|> denardo: fix what?
[09:33] <Phylo> ThamHKI:  yeah, but I still have no idea :-(  sorry
[09:34] <PurpZeY> sx66: Try turning off beryl, see if the arrow is there...Otherwise, I honestly, personally don't know, I'm sure someone else will.
[09:34] <ThamHKI> Phylo: np :|
[09:34] <denardo> Check the stuff I've typed in here. Trying to get Firefox & Thunderbird to work together with both Windows and Ubuntu...
[09:34] <PurpZeY> sx66: *I* think, you are running the safe mode command wrong...just my opinion. Maybe someone in #firefox would know better.
[09:34] <sx66> how do you turn off beryl?
 xinerama
[09:35] <carlos_> insmod, I can see that
[09:35] <deepsa>  what is the name of the component that intercepts key "shortcuts" from my keyboard's volume knob, and adjusts the volume while printing the mini-graphic in the center of the desktop?  It's got to be some gnome-daemon of some sort, right?
[09:35] <Phylo> sx66:  I think you can right-click the beryl manager gem (icon)
[09:35] <carlos_> insmod, thanks
[09:35] <PurpZeY> sx66: Right click on the diamond, select window manager, change to gtk
[09:35] <denardo> which was working until trying to upgrade to Feisty trashed my root partition, and I now have to recreate what I had in /etc/fstab
[09:35] <sx66> thanks
 :)
[09:35] <Phylo> sx66:  yeah what PurpZeY said
[09:35] <carsten> hi! Everytime i try to create an directory with "mkdir" i get an error, stating "no space left on device", but according to "df -h" there are over 10 Gigs free, what is wrong?
[09:35] <|johnybot|> so you want windows and linux to share a fat partition?
[09:36] <denardo> |johnybot|: Right.
[09:36] <Audi200Turbo> omg how many ppl can fit in a channel :O :P
[09:36] <deepsa> any idea ?
[09:36] <|johnybot|> sis you already make the partition?
[09:36] <|johnybot|> so*
[09:36] <carlos_> insmod, it is not in the repository :S
[09:36] <denardo> |johnybot|: Yes
[09:36] <bastid_raZor> denardo: it is normally a bad thing to have two OS's on one partition
[09:37] <insmod> carlos: should just be an xorg option
[09:37] <aimtrainer> denardo, if you want to use a partition with linux and winxp you can also unse ext3 and fsdriver in xp - then you d have large file support
[09:37] <denardo> bastid_raZor: I know. This is however a pretty well documented thing, except that I don't understand the /etc/fstab struff
[09:37] <|johnybot|> denardo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[09:37] <carlos_> insmod, did you mean that it is already installed ?
[09:38] <madsporkmurderer> To get my dvb card to work I have to 'sudo modprobe cx88-dvb' after every reboot; is there a way to do this permanently so that I don't have to do it every time?
[09:38] <insmod> carlos: should be
[09:38] <sx66> what is the server for firefox?
[09:38] <ThamHKI> Hi, I need know if i can have partition linux swamp before instalation Ubutun?
[09:38] <carlos_> insmod, ok thanks I will see
[09:38] <PurpZeY> sx66: server?
[09:38] <Parabol`> firefox should be on here
[09:38] <Parabol`> if they have a channel i'm sure its on freenode
[09:39] <PurpZeY> sx66: Oh, it's just #firefox
[09:39] <denardo> |johnybot|: That page seems quite clear. Trying it now. Thanks.
[09:39] <bastid_raZor> ThamHKI: you have to have swap before install of !Ubutun!
[09:39] <crazee> ThamHKI - read this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=441918
[09:39] <carsten> according to "df -i" there are enough inodes free, too
[09:39] <|johnybot|> denardo: back when i was suckling MS teat, i had the same thing working
[09:40] <bastid_raZor> heh
[09:40] <ThamHKI> crazee: I read more one work this programa worked download again of iso alternative
[09:40] <ThamHKI> I use iso server ubutun
[09:40] <ThamHKI> ubuntu*
[09:40] <davina> carsten, have u tried fsck on the filesystem?
[09:40] <buggy> hay anyone - being clutzie - i can't figure out to install a different ubuntu theme from preferences/theme - any help?
[09:41] <ferronica> any application like LIMEWIRE available in ubuntu 7.04 ?
[09:41] <sdf> hi i have rar file i want unzip it but it has password how can i break it??
[09:41] <PurpZeY> buggy: Where did you download the theme from?
[09:41] <|johnybot|> ThamHKI: program called acetoneISO can make iso from a folder
[09:41] <ThamHKI> thx for all...
[09:41] <crazee> ThamHKI - you can tell it to use the iso that you have already downloaded
[09:41] <davina> ferronica, you can download a linux version of limewire from the limewire website
[09:41] <Phylo> sdf:  by finding where you stored the pass for it
[09:41] <sdf> hehe
[09:42] <ferronica> davin: it wont available in synaptic
[09:42] <buggy> its not a special downloaded one - it's a stock one that came w/ububtu fiesty 7.2
[09:42] <carsten> davina, i can touch files for example "touch bla" works, but "mkdir bla" -> no space left on device i can run fsck, but do i have to reboot to fsck the partition?
[09:42] <PurpZeY> buggy: just double click
[09:42] <|johnybot|> buggy : 7.2?
[09:42] <sdf> phylo any programs for break (know) password?
[09:42] <Parabol`> what type of passwords
[09:42] <buggy> hmnmm - hang on - said being clutzie ya know....
[09:43] <Phylo> sdf:  doubtlessly
[09:43] <davina> carsten, is the filesystem where you are trying to mkdir on a different disk to the main / filesystem?  if so then i think you can just dismount it and fscj /dev/hda1 or whatever it is foryou
[09:43] <Phylo> PurpZeY:  indeed, not my lack of answer
[09:43] <sdf> phylo what do you mean?
[09:43] <cafuego> sdf: There are lots, most use dictionaries. if the password is not enough and contains weird characters, you're probably SOL.
[09:43] <Parabol`> his reasons for asking arent any of our business
[09:43] <Parabol`> this is a support channel
[09:43] <Parabol`> not a be-nosey channel
[09:44] <|johnybot|> buggy : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2743613
[09:44] <Phylo> sdf:  There is no doubt that there are programs to break passwords for .rar files
[09:44] <buggy> whatever latest release of ubuntu - 7. something - the double click did not work
[09:44] <Parabol`> glad to see you're one of thoes that causes office gossip
[09:44] <sdf> ok
[09:44] <davina> ferronica, no but there are installation instruction that are fairly easy to follow
[09:44] <carsten> davina, okay i will try that
[09:44] <ferronica> davina: okay
[09:44] <Parabol`> sdf almost all of them require you purchase them
[09:44] <PurpZeY> Parabol`: Not an issue of office gossip...In my estimation, I'm not going to tell someone how to crack a file.
? like to cause trouble!
[09:45] <Parabol`> no, i dont like people being douches
[09:45] <bastid_raZor> heh,
[09:45] <Parabol`> he didnt ask for his opinion on what he was doing, he asked for help
[09:45] <Parabol`> sdf:  they are all brute force, so it could take a very long time
then look in the mirror -- ad be sick
[09:45] <gabbarinho> i noticed there's a version of ubuntu for older computers called xbuntu
[09:45] <|johnybot|> yay
[09:45] <Parabol`> funny, looks like i'm helping him
[09:45] <|johnybot|> i love xubuntu
[09:46] <gabbarinho> is it limited by comparison in any way?
[09:46] <sx66> ah...
[09:46] <immibis> what are the system requirements?
[09:46] <Phylo> Parabol:  and I said I wouldn't help because cracking passwords is not #Ubuntu related (especially .rar files)
[09:46] <Parabol`> gabbarinho: not really
[09:46] <|johnybot|> it is faster
[09:46] <Parabol`> gabbarinho:  just a different desktop manager
[09:46] <PurpZeY> gabbarinho: xbuntu is almost the same, just less graphically intense.
[09:46] <gabbarinho> my computer isn't _that_ old, but if it runs faster I don't see why I shouldn't use it instead
[09:46] <immibis> i have an old laptop with a slow processor (i think 133mhz) and 32mb of memory
[09:46] <gabbarinho> right
[09:46] <levander> Is there any "Expand All" button in Nautilus?
[09:46] <immibis> and a really slow hdd
[09:46] <gabbarinho> wow, 133mhz!
[09:46] <|johnybot|> hehe
[09:46] <Parabol`> gabbarinho: yeah, some people dont like xfce, i dont mind it :)
[09:46] <carsten> i made an sudo dumpe2fs /dev/hdb1 the result is here ->  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24186/
[09:46] <immibis> MHZ not ghz
[09:46] <Phylo> can Beryl run in Xubuntu?
[09:46] <gabbarinho> yeah!
[09:46] <davina> ferronica, there is a .deb package that will make it easy to installso download that one
[09:46] <PurpZeY> Phylo: I don't imagine so, but I don't really know.
[09:47] <denardo> |johnybot|: Thank you! Firefox is now running fine.
[09:47] <ferronica> davina: can you please give me the link?
[09:47] <insmod> xfce 3 was good 4 sucks
[09:47] <|johnybot|> To run the Desktop CD (LiveCD + Install CD), you need 128 MB RAM to run or 192 MB RAM to install. The Alternate Install CD only required you to have 64 MB RAM.
[09:47] <|johnybot|> 
[09:47] <|johnybot|> To install Xubuntu, you need 1.5 GB of free space on your hard disk.
[09:47] <|johnybot|> 
[09:47] <|johnybot|> Once installed, Xubuntu can run with 64 MB RAM, but it is strongly recommended to use at least 128 MB RAM.
[09:47] <davina> ferronica, http://www.limewire.com/download/download.php?version=linux_deb
[09:47] <insmod> but then again cde rocks
[09:48] <immibis> maybe it was 64mb then i'm not sure - it runs ubuntu v5 breezy
[09:48] <denardo> |johnybot|: BTW, I would love to get off MS teat, but I'm depending on one app for my work that only seems to run under Windoze (dogmelon Note Studio, a personal Wiki for PALM OS and Windoze)
[09:48] <Parabol`> i've got 7.04 on my 2.12ghz c2d macbook
[09:48] <Parabol`> and it FLIES
[09:48] <gabbarinho> this computer is a 1.33GHZ - so OK in that respect, but i only have 256mb of RAM
[09:48] <PurpZeY> gabbarinho: You'll be good to go with xubuntu, I think.
[09:48] <gabbarinho> ubuntu does run ok, certainly much faster than windows xp did
[09:49] <sx66> PurpZeY: can you send me the link for the firefox safemode?
[09:49] <Parabol`> oh my god
[09:49] <Parabol`> my gf's cat just farted
[09:49] <|johnybot|> hahaha
[09:49] <Parabol`> and it smells horrid
[09:49] <Parabol`> its laying next to me on the couch
[09:49] <gabbarinho> I'll have to give it a try! it's just too bad that I didn't leave space on my hard drive to be able to create a new partition without getting rid of this unbuntu install from three days ago
[09:49] <PurpZeY> sx66: It was literally from the firefox home page but just a sec.
[09:49] <carsten> davina, i cant umount it, it says device is busy
[09:49] <Tom47> thats def "off" topic lol
[09:49] <Parabol`> lol i know
[09:49] <Parabol`> i can taste it
[09:49] <Phylo> How can I check how much RAM I have?
[09:49] <PurpZeY> gabbarinho: I don't think you'd need a clean install, I think you can just change desktop managers.
[09:49] <Parabol`> couldnt help it, sorry guys
[09:49] <gabbarinho> so... erm, xubuntu will run the same applications, right?
[09:49] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-base i think
[09:49] <|johnybot|> yes
[09:50] <gabbarinho> oh? sorry - i have no idea what that means :)
[09:50] <PurpZeY> sx66: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode#Linux
[09:50] <|johnybot|> open terminal
[09:50] <Madpilot> Phylo, in terminal, "free -m"
[09:50] <|johnybot|> type:  sudo apt-get install xubuntu-base
[09:50] <davina> carsten, you'll need to close any nautilus file browsers and also any Terminal session that are 'cd'ed there
[09:50] <PurpZeY> gabbarinho: ubuntu and xubuntu are the same "guts" so you'd just need to change the desktop manager...Like switching from gnome to xfe
[09:50] <Parabol`> couldnt he just install xfce ?
[09:50] <simone_> hi, i have a problem with ubuntu live cd. I have tried ubuntu 7.04 32 bit and ubuntu gutsy amd64 daily build. Both gave me the following error: "can't access tty; job control turned off". In casper.log i have some errors related to /dev/loop* and squashfs. My hw is "asus m2npv-vm | amd 3800+ socket am2 | 1gb ddr2 ram | pioneer dvr 112d". Any suggestion?
[09:51] <gabbarinho> ah...
[09:51] <Parabol`> there would be no point in doing base would there?
[09:51] <PurpZeY> Not that I can think of
[09:51] <|johnybot|> you'd be installing all the less resource hungry alternatives
[09:51] <gabbarinho> so GNOME, xfce - these things are just shells?
[09:51] <gabbarinho> sort of like windows 3.11? (sorry for the analogy)
[09:51] <PurpZeY> pretty much
[09:51] <davina> carsten, alternative reboot you machine with the live cd and non of your hard disks with be mounted and you can fsck from there
[09:51] <|johnybot|> Window managers
[09:51] <Parabol`> johny yeah but hed still have all the normal "bloat" of ubuntu
[09:51] <carsten> davina, i did it, the fsck said that /dev/hdb1 is clean. did you had a chance to look in my e2dump file?
[09:51] <Phylo> It says it only detects 216MB of my RAM, but I have 512.  I added one a 256MB RAM chip, how can I make use of it?
[09:51] <Spliffster> good morning
[09:51] <silvernode> anyone know of a good movie creator for ubuntu?
[09:51] <gabbarinho> I tried entering the command in terminal - "couldn't find package xubuntu base"
[09:52] <Parabol`> silvernode: a camcorder
[09:52] <Tom47> simone have you checked the cd for erors
[09:52] <|johnybot|> xubuntu-desktop sorry
[09:52] <PurpZeY> It's only 10 to 4...not morning yet
[09:52] <Parabol`> yeah
[09:52] <Parabol`> I need to goto bed
[09:52] <Parabol`> she was tired and i wasnt, so i moved to the couch lol
[09:52] <davina> carsten, well thatsgood. i didnt see you mention e2dump as i have only just logged in today
[09:52] <silvernode> parabol:are you hinting to me that there is no movie making software for linux?
[09:52] <robert98374_> How do you find the color code for a specific color?
[09:52] <Parabol`> silvernode: no i was trying to be funny :-\
[09:52] <gabbarinho> ooooh
[09:52] <gabbarinho> very cool
[09:53] <Spliffster> can anyone tell my why the following line is in my /etc/hosts after installing feisty: 127.0.1.1 schleppi # where schleppi is my hostname !?
[09:53] <gabbarinho> so this package was already on my hard drive!?
[09:53] <Parabol`> robert98374_: i use photoshop or gimp
[09:53] <gabbarinho> i can't wait to learn this stuff so i can make use of it
[09:53] <Traveler04> hi -  i have a problem - on my ubuntu 7.04 my poweroff icon disappeared - now i can only suspend or hibernet, but cannot poweroff my pc. Anyone had a similar problem?

[09:53] <|johnybot|> robert98374_: i use kolourpaint, the MS clone
[09:53] <silvernode> hmm well i guess there is no software that allows you to create a video in linux :-(
[09:53] <Hillview> hm, I think I broke something with aptitude.  not exactly sure how or why, but my X server won't start unless I reinstall the NVIDIA driver from nvidia.com.. when I reboot, it complains about a kernel conflict.  any ideas how I can fix? :)
[09:53] <Parabol`> Spliffster: so you can resolve yourself via name?
[09:53] <clutchmm> can someone tell me how to access my virtual machine I just copied to my external usb drive?
[09:53] <Parabol`> silvernode: there has to be
[09:53] <immibis> you could sudo shutdown -h now
[09:53] <davina> Spliffster, thats your local loopback
[09:53] <|johnybot|> silvernode: Kino
[09:53] <PurpZeY> wow the channel just blew up.
[09:53] <Rage> Hi, how do I make packages that have been kept back upgrade?
[09:53] <madsporkmurderer> To get my dvb card to work I have to 'sudo modprobe cx88-dvb' after every reboot; is there a way to do this permanently so that I don't have to do it every time?
[09:53] <silvernode> awesome
[09:53] <Spliffster> Parabol`: wouldnt that be 127.0.0.1, subtile difference! why 127.0.1.1 ?
[09:53] <immibis> Traveler04: you could sudo shutdown -h now
[09:54] <Parabol`> ahh
[09:54] <Parabol`> i didnt catch that
[09:54] <robert98374_> well i am just trying to find a specific color from my wallpaper for conky
[09:54] <Parabol`> Spliffster:  you have MS-Blaster :P
[09:54] <wols_> madsporkmurderer: echo cv8-dvb >> /etc/modules
[09:54] <Spliffster> davina: my local loopback, 127.0.1.1 not 127.0.0.1
[09:54] <PurpZeY> madsporkmurderer: I would think it might be hard b/c you are running sudo, and it requires a password...maybe someone else might know...but it seems to me it might be tough.
[09:54] <Parabol`> maybe its a bug
[09:54] <Parabol`> somone wasnt paying attention
[09:54] <Spliffster> Parabol`: i don't have any ms junk
[09:54] <Parabol`> Spliffster:  it was another one of my bad jokes
[09:54] <scapor> madsporkmurderer: sudo echo cv8-dvb >> /etc/modules
[09:54] <Spliffster> good morning ;)

[09:55] <davina> Spliffster, yeah your right i didnt see past the 127.... lol.  not sure in that case.
[09:55] <robert98374_> Is fluxbox easy to install on Ubuntu?
[09:55] <|johnybot|> yes!
[09:55] <madsporkmurderer> Thanks
[09:55] <scapor> PurpZeY: :)
[09:56] <Parabol`> everyone needs a macbook
[09:56] <|johnybot|> robert98374_: sudo apt-get install fluxbox
[09:56] <gabbarinho> i can't believe you can do all this stuff through typing commands
[09:56] <davina> carsten, looks ok.  have you tried remounting the disk and doing mkdir again?
[09:56] <scapor> someone with bluetooth knowledge ?
[09:56] <Spliffster> who the fuck came up withthe idea of using 127.0.1.1? i have never seen this and i do not recall reading about it 10years ago when i read O'Reeillys TCP/IP book. am I missing a new RFC ?

[09:56] <gabbarinho> how does the OS know where to go download these things?
[09:57] <Spliffster> yes, yes peeps ... i try to be comformant
[09:57] <Parabol`> Spliffster:  its called someone screwed up :)
[09:57] <carlos_> how can I detect inactivity on my laptop ? I already know how to turn my monitor off, I know that exist gnome power-manager but sometimes it didn't ,
[09:57] <reverseblade> gabbarinho, OS or firefox ?
[09:57] <wols_> SORMANOV: just change it to the ptoper ip and be done with the whining
[09:57] <|johnybot|> robert98374_: never instaled it so i dno
[09:57] <robert98374_> |johnybot| lol
[09:57] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho: yes
[09:57] <gabbarinho> the OS - i am talking about commands like sudo apt-install [program] 
[09:57] <SORMANOV> wols_, ?
[09:57] <reverseblade> carlos_, /etc/acpi
[09:57] <PurpZeY> gabbarinho: Magic..; )
[09:57] <scapor> gabbarinho: the urls are stored in a file /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:57] <Spliffster> Parabol`, wols_: i'll file a bug report then ... but when they laugh about me i'll point at you :-P
[09:58] <reverseblade> gabbarinho, apt looks at the deb file. IT is written in the deb file that you downloaded
[09:58] <Spliffster> j/k gonna google for it
[09:58] <PurpZeY> gabbarinho: Each of the packages has the information in it...
[09:58] <Parabol`> lmao
[09:58] <Parabol`> Spliffster: sounds good
[09:58] <davina> Spliffster, it seems if you ping any 127.x.x.x address you'll get a response, so maybe it doesnt matter
[09:58] <wols_> SORMANOV: not you Spliffster. nick complete
[09:58] <carlos_> reverseblade, it is a directory o configuration text ?
[09:58] <SORMANOV> k
[09:58] <gabbarinho> ah... so i guess the more obscure programs wouldn't be on that list
[09:58] <Parabol`> davina:  its about standards
[09:58] <scapor> gabbarinho: those servers are called "repositories";  you can install software of 'am not only by commands but also by the package mananger or by selecting "add/remove applications" in the applications menu
[09:58] <Parabol`> maybe its RFC 1149 , or w/e the carrier pidgen one was :P
[09:58] <gabbarinho> I see
[09:58] <carsten> davina, yes, I just remounted it. "touch davina" works, but "mkdir davina" does not work. i am in /media/hdb/ebooks  if i go to /media/hdb and try an mkdir sth i get an "permission denied"
[09:58] <reverseblade> carlos_, you can look at instead of asking me. it is a dir with many files
[09:58] <denardo> Woohoo! For the first time ever, I can actually print on my Canon PIXMA MP150, using Feisty.
[09:59] <PurpZeY> gabbarinho: It's not even necessarily more obscure, certain packages are supported and verified, so they are in the repos....
[09:59] <gabbarinho> xubuntu still seems to be downloading/installing
[09:59] <|johnybot|> yay
[09:59] <gabbarinho> I see
[09:59] <carlos_> reverseblade, ups sorry I can see that those are scripts
[09:59] <Spliffster> davina: ok, looks like 127.0.0.0 is treated as class A net then. however, it looks strange to me after 15 years of having 127.0.0.1 ... there must be a reason .. gonna check facts
[09:59] <gabbarinho> still - for a windows and mac user, this is amazing stuff
[09:59] <Parabol`> Spliffster: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1149.html
[09:59] <Spliffster> ty
[09:59] <Spliffster> !
[09:59] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho: that makes me cry a little
[09:59] <robert98374_> ok well i am going to go see brb
[09:59] <gabbarinho> i mean... as long as a console without graphics doesn't automatically give you heart attacks, this makes installing things EASIER
[10:00] <Parabol`> Spliffster:  you should read it, you will enjoy it
[10:00] <Madpilot> gabbarinho, lots of obscure stuff available by apt - there's about 17,000 packages in Ubuntu's repositories...
[10:00] <reverseblade> carlos_, that's all you need I suppose. Study them, and you will understand
[10:00] <gabbarinho> ah
[10:00] <Parabol`> apt is very nice
[10:00] <PurpZeY> gabbarinho: Most things you'd need, you can get using sudo apt-get, there are exceptions...but...
[10:00] <carlos_> reverseblade, ok thanks
[10:00] <Parabol`> aside from portage, apt is my fave
[10:00] <gabbarinho> well, I think i am having a religious experience
[10:00] <Parabol`> haha
[10:00] <scapor> gabbarinho: sure it does; but as I said you can also do it graphically (with point and click with your mouse) and it's also quick and easy
[10:00] <zentux_> hi, is there a aplet for public files share  for gnome ?
[10:00] <Spliffster> Parabol`: checking ... hope its not the evil bit ;-/
[10:00] <gabbarinho> right
[10:01] <gabbarinho> what is that command again? sudo apt-get _____?
[10:01] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho: oh, i need an MSN client... search in Synaptic Package Manager... Pidgin, AMSN...
[10:01] <KomiaPoika> hi
[10:01] <gabbarinho> what does that mean, exactly?
[10:01] <scapor> gabbarinho: apt-get install
[10:01] <|johnybot|> Choice is fun
[10:01] <PurpZeY> gabbarinho: sudo-apt get install
[10:01] <KomiaPoika> how can i install egroupware 1.4 using apt-get?
[10:01] <|johnybot|> sudo- run as super user
[10:01] <gabbarinho> ah, thanks
[10:01] <davina> Spliffster, seems 127.0.0.1 is just used for a name for localhost and 127.0.1.1 is uses for hostname instead of a 'normal ip' i guess so it loops back incase you dont have a network card
[10:01] <|johnybot|> apt-get the program
[10:01] <|johnybot|> install telling it what to do
[10:01] <KomiaPoika> |johnybot|: packages still are with version 1.2
[10:01] <Spliffster> Parabol`: aaaargh the pigeon rfc and i was hoping for info ... it's always a good laugh again
[10:01] <gabbarinho> aha
[10:01] <Parabol`> lol Spliffster
[10:02] <gabbarinho> so... i could type in 'sudo apt-get install gimp' and i'd get gimp
[10:02] <|johnybot|> yes
[10:02] <gabbarinho> this is incredible
[10:02] <ramboza> test
[10:02] <Parabol`> yes
[10:02] <|johnybot|> KomiaPoika: repos only have 1.2
[10:02] <gabbarinho> i mean really guys
[10:02] <Spliffster> Parabol`: check this, the definitive solution to supress cracking on the internet: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3514.html
[10:02] <PurpZeY> gabbarinho: Also, you may run into the problem of trying to install a package that is not in the repositories you access..There are a few additional repositories...I wouldn't add them now, but if you ever get an error "Need X repository" you'll know, then just see the wiki or the channel and add it to your list.
[10:02] <Parabol`> lol is this your first experience with package managment gabbarinho  ?
[10:02] <gabbarinho> ah... thanks for the info :)
[10:02] <gabbarinho> yes!
[10:02] <|johnybot|> KomiaPoika: need to install manually
[10:02] <Parabol`> hehe
[10:02] <netdaemon> well found the solution to the gnome-nethack crashing prob...
[10:03] <Parabol`> i remember my first time :P
[10:03] <Madpilot> gabbarinho, actually, the Gimp is already installed in Ubuntu - you don't even need to apt-get it :)
[10:03] <netdaemon> now i need to make it more permanent
[10:03] <gabbarinho> i am totally converted
[10:03] <KomiaPoika> |johnybot|: how
[10:03] <gabbarinho> well, right, i noticed!
[10:03] <Parabol`> gabbarinho:  the removal of packages is nice as well
[10:03] <gabbarinho> and it would always automatically retrieve the latest version, right?
[10:03] <Parabol`> gabbarinho:  have you used apt-cache search yet either?
[10:03] <Parabol`> if you arent sure of the exact name of a package, that is for finding it :)
[10:03] <gabbarinho> i guess i have some experience with packages in mac os x - but it's nothing like this
[10:03] <Spliffster> davina: this sounds about correct. only difference is that all systems i use there use 127.0.0.1 for years and since tcp/ip was invented. why does edgy use 127.0.1.1 for loopback. it's just my curiosity that wants to be satisfied ;)
[10:03] <Madpilot> gabbarinho, latest version that is in Ubuntu's repositories, yes
[10:04] <gabbarinho> no - i am afraid that i don't know what that means
[10:04] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho: it would use the ubuntu specific version, not necissarily the latest
[10:04] <davina> carsten, you'll need to change the permissions so you can create files e.g. sudo chown carsten /media/hdb/ebooks      this'll make you the owner
[10:04] <gabbarinho> right
[10:04] <PurpZeY> gabbarinho: You'll get a little icon in your "Tray" that will tell you to update...It generally installs updates for gnome, ubuntu, and popular software packages.
[10:04] <gabbarinho> so what if a program isn't ubuntu-specific? what would actually be different?
[10:04] <Parabol`> alright guys im going to bed
[10:04] <gabbarinho> ah, that's great
[10:04] <Parabol`> i'll talk to you all later
[10:04] <gabbarinho> bye :)
[10:04] <PurpZeY> gabbarinho: It might still be in the repos.
[10:04] <|johnybot|> KomiaPoika:  sorry outa my league
[10:04] <davina> Spliffster, well until you mentioned it i didnt realise that my /etc/hosts has the same 127.0.1.1 for my hostname lol
[10:04] <vicente> anyone in maine here? im bored and linux-less
[10:04] <gabbarinho> i mean, how would the program itself be different?
[10:05] <PurpZeY> gabbarinho: if not, you'd have to download it and install it according the install in the package.
[10:05] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho: if its not in the repos, try to download a .deb file
[10:05] <makuseru> how can i exreact a .7z?
[10:05] <gabbarinho> i still don't quite understand the difference between all the distros
[10:05] <PurpZeY> gabbarinho: Well, take pidgin for example (the newest version of gaim) it is platform independent.
[10:05] <gabbarinho> are some programs GNOME specific and others KDE specific, etc?
[10:05] <Spliffster> oh: to whom it may concern: i have installed feisty on my laptop and upgraded my dekstop workstation from edgy. all went extremely smoot, hardware support is just awful. desktop is slim and polist. upstart seems to make a difference for boot time. CONGRATULATIONS!
[10:05] <PurpZeY> gabbarinho: Some are.
[10:06] <gabbarinho> yesterday i tried to get a program called "sopcast" to run - but it's an rpm package so i couldn't even figure out how to install it
[10:06] <Spliffster> feisty is an awful release
[10:06] <Spliffster> gabbarinho: install alien
[10:06] <PurpZeY> gabbarinho: But those probably serve a specific task for each manager. . .
[10:06] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-rpm-files-in-ubuntu.html
 it is the same it is what it needs that may be diff--- a distro puts versions that work with each  other
[10:06] <gabbarinho> "sudo apt-get install alien" would work?
[10:06] <Spliffster> gabbarinho: sudo apt-get install alien; alien some.rpm # will convert it into a deb package
[10:07] <davina> gabbarinho, yes an no, if you use gnome and want to runa kde program, the synaptic package manager will usually download any kde dependancies that are needed, however sometime this could be quite a lot of stuff and so you need to make sure your root partition is big enough
[10:07] <PurpZeY> gabbarinho: Should work, yes.
[10:07] <sx66> /server irc.mozilla.org
[10:07] <sx66> #firefox
[10:07] <[1] carsten> davina, i went in every directory and made an "sudo chown carsten:carsten *" if i look at "ls -al" everything belongs to user carsten group carsten.
[10:07] <PurpZeY> Hi welcome to #firefox.
[10:07] <gabbarinho> ah
[10:07] <Assassin`> anyone have kiba-dock?
[10:07] <sx66> ahh
[10:07] <PurpZeY> !anyone
[10:07] <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?
[10:07] <Assassin`> how do you get icons on it
[10:07] <Spliffster> PurpZeY: lol
[10:08] <Assassin`> wow
[10:08] <ramorek> DUDE !
[10:08] <davina> [1] carsten, did that fix it. can you "mkdir davina" ? lol
[10:08] <ramorek> im goin to windows or mac
[10:08] <gabbarinho> gee, it's installing
[10:08] <PurpZeY> Assassin`: Did you read the wiki?
[10:08] <ramorek> i give up
icons suck
[10:08] <Assassin`> yea
[10:08] <sx66> PurpZeY: that command does not work...user, or command error...:(
[10:08] <|johnybot|> ramorek: cya then
[10:08] <PurpZeY> ramorek: Update failed?
[10:08] <PurpZeY> sx66: What command?
 man xterm
[10:08] <Assassin`> i just want the terminal up there
[10:08] <Assassin`> wow
[10:08] <[1] carsten> davina, "mkdir davina" still says "no space left on device" "sudo mkdir davina" succeeds
[10:08] <Spliffster> ramorek: what is the problem ?
[10:08] <ramorek> i went in and i couldnt see crap on the desktop it was all scraatchy
[10:08] <gabbarinho> it's asking me to put in my ubuntu CD - is there a way to skip that and get the file online instead?
[10:08] <Assassin`> i read the kiba-dock wiki
[10:08] <Assassin`> for ubuntu
[10:09] <ramorek> had to load gnome session and its theonly wway itll work
[10:09] <sx66> PurpZeY: /path/to/firefox/firefox -safe-mode
[10:09] <PurpZeY> sx66: Did you run that exact command?
[10:09] <Spliffster> ramorek: are you usingthe live cd ?
[10:09] <ramorek> no
[10:09] <davina> [1] carsten, let me just look at mine brb
[10:09] <sx66> Indeed I did
[10:09] <ramorek> im on the HD
[10:09] <sx66> PurpZeY: Yes
[10:09] <Assassin`> butt... you should just be able to drag it there right
[10:09] <ramorek> i was lost for a while though
[10:09] <Spliffster> ramorek: so you have instaleld feisty, right ? (7.04) ?
[10:09] <PurpZeY> sx66: Right, what you need to do is run /bin/usr/firefox/firefox (I think)...I'll check...but that's just an example you are using there.
[10:09] <ramorek> i updated but im not sure if this thing is good to go
[10:10] <gabbarinho> by the way, xubuntu has been downloaded - how would i actually start it instead of ubuntu?
[10:10] <Spliffster> ramorek: updates can be tricky, especially if you have customizes (and maybe screwed) things in your system. have you been hand editing config files ?
[10:10] <ramorek> nope
[10:10] <Spliffster> ok
[10:10] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho: in the log in screen there is a sessions button
[10:10] <ramorek> i just hit replace on all the dialog boxes
[10:11] <Spliffster> so you didn't get diffs during update (of onfig files) then ?
[10:11] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho: just choose xubuntu or xcfe and log in
[10:11] <gabbarinho> ah
[10:11] <ramorek> ?
[10:11] <gabbarinho> great - thanks :
[10:11] <Phylo> How can I make Ubuntu detect my second RAM chip?
[10:11] <Spliffster> ramorek: never mind
[10:11] <ramorek> so my ? is
[10:11] <gabbarinho> looks like a bunch of programs have been added to my applications menu too
[10:11] <|johnybot|> Phylo: that sound like a bios problem
[10:11] <Assassin`> omg
[10:11] <Spliffster> ramorek: sou you have been upgrading, not been paying attention what the system ask and now where is the problem ?
[10:11] <gabbarinho> i assume those are xubuntu programs
 enlightenment is better
[10:11] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho: xubuntu uses less resource hungry alternates
[10:12] <ramorek> is this think good to go or what ? do i have to run the gnome session from now on since i updated as opposed to the xcl session ?
[10:12] <PurpZeY> gabbarinho: Generally when you use sudo apt-get it will install any necessary dependcies.
[10:12] <ramorek> spliffster im not to knowledgable on ubuntu
[10:12] <Spliffster> ramorek: what is your problem ,,, gnome-session crashing on login ?
[10:12] <ramorek> no the other one
[10:12] <ramorek> the xcl one
[10:12] <PurpZeY> sx66: /usr/lib/firefox/firefox safe-mode
[10:12] <|johnybot|> insmod: im a slave to the panel, what can i say
[10:12] <Spliffster> which is "the other one[tm] " ?
[10:13] <davina> [1] carsten, on the directory/folder above where you are doing mkdir, does the owner i.e. you have write permission?  it may mean having to dismount the drive doing chmod o+w /media/hdb, also make sure you are the owner too, additionally do chmod o+s,g+s and then any files created, even by root will always have the right owner/group on them
 i am all term
[10:13] <Spliffster> ramorek: sorry, i do not know what xcl is, are you running gnome ?
[10:13] <thagoat> neone with info on how to dl mopvies on irc/
[10:13] <ramorek> now i am
[10:13] <ramorek> i guess ill just keep running it cause it works
[10:13] <bonii> I have installed Feisty. It comes by default with Compiz. How Do I remove Compiz and install Beryll??
[10:13] <PurpZeY> thagoat: movies on irc?
[10:13] <Spliffster> and before you have been running xfce ?
[10:13] <ramorek> i just with i knew what was going on
[10:13] <thagoat> BONII APT-GET INSTALL BERYL
[10:14] <PurpZeY> bonii: Just install beryl.
[10:14] <gabbarinho> i believe i installed alien, but i can't find it
[10:14] <ramorek> spliff i dont know
[10:14] <|johnybot|> thagoat: www.packetnews.com
[10:14] <Spliffster> ramorek: i am a bit lost about your ase, i just joined the room. maybe you need to explain me what your problem is. pleeeease.
[10:14] <bonii> thagoat: But I would have to remove Compiz right??
[10:14] <PurpZeY> gabbarinho: just type alien at term
[10:14] <PurpZeY> bonii: no.
[10:14] <ramorek> ok spliff
[10:14] <Spliffster> ;)
[10:14] <gabbarinho> ah, there we go
[10:14] <Phylo> ramorek:  use Ubuntu 6.10, I think there are a lot of problems with 7.04
[10:14] <neocakra1> hihi
[10:14] <Phylo> everywhere I turn, people are having trouble installing Fiesty
[10:14] <[1] carsten> davina, "drwxr-xr-x 16 carsten carsten 4096 2007-04-01 21:38 hdb" this is the mount point
[10:14] <wulei> is in?
[10:15] <Spliffster> Phylo: 7.04 is as good as 6.10. if you need stabe, go for 6.04LTS
[10:15] <thagoat> maybe, if so apt-get remove compiz
[10:15] <bonii> PurpZeY: Wont it create any clashes or problems. I will go for apt-get install beryll?
[10:15] <|johnybot|> hehe gabbarino
[10:15] <gabbarinho> wooo, dos commands work
[10:15] <ramorek> phylo i got in to 7.0 on gnome
[10:15] <simone_> Could anyone help me? I have a problem with ubuntu live cd. Thanks
[10:15] <PurpZeY> bonii: I have both atm...When I installed beryl I did not get rid of compiz and the wiki doesn't tell you to, so, I think you're good.
[10:15] <thagoat> feisty is great except for audio
[10:15] <Phylo> ramorek:  I just don't want to see someone go Winblows or Mac
[10:15] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho: try using ls instead of dir
[10:15] <PurpZeY> simone_: Describe the problem?
[10:15] <ramorek> but im not sure if i should trust it or if its in condition to be used as an everyday OS
[10:16] <Spliffster> thagoat: i have excatly the opposite experience. my 5.1 card works now in feisty
[10:16] <davina> [1] carsten, that looks like it should work then.
[10:16] <thagoat> lol phylo
[10:16] <bonii> PurpZeY: Thanks
[10:16] <bruno_> i burned an iso to upgrade ubuntu breezy -> feisty but when i launch the CD what does i choose?
[10:16] <simone_> hi, i have a problem with ubuntu live cd. I have tried ubuntu 7.04 32 bit and ubuntu gutsy amd64 daily build. Both gave me the following error: "can't access tty; job control turned off". In casper.log i have some errors related to /dev/loop* and squashfs. My hw is "asus m2npv-vm | amd 3800+ socket am2 | 1gb ddr2 ram | pioneer dvr 112d". Any suggestion?
[10:16] <gabbarinho> wow, better
[10:16] <thagoat> nice my realtec sux
[10:16] <gabbarinho> what does "ls" stand for?
[10:16] <PurpZeY> gabbarinho: I always thought it was list
[10:16] <gabbarinho> makes sense
[10:16] <bruno_> install or update the drivers?
[10:16] <davina> gabbarinho, ls is a command line command to list the contents of a directory
[10:16] <gabbarinho> is there an equivalent of "cd"?
[10:16] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho: cd
[10:16] <gabbarinho> i guess i'm already in the desktop
[10:16] <gabbarinho> oh.
[10:16] <PurpZeY> ramorek: I only speak for myself, and personal experience, but my uptime on my laptop is over 8 days...and my desktop probably 15-20.
[10:17] <[1] carsten> davina, thank you for you help. i will just try to create the directories with sudo.
[10:17] <davina> gabbarinho, ls is like dir
[10:17] <[1] carsten> bye
[10:17] <thagoat> uptime on desktop...64 days  hahahaha
[10:17] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho: when you start a terminal you start in /home/username/
[10:17] <gabbarinho> so... er...
[10:17] <ramorek> im wondering how in the world DELL will deal with the problems ? if i got in cause i almost figured it out and i have some xperince imagine some reagular windows transitioner
[10:17] <PurpZeY> gabbarinho: You'll know when you switched desktops. xcfe is going to look different than gnome.
[10:17] <|johnybot|> desktop is in /home/username/Desktop/
[10:17] <gabbarinho> what is this ~$ thing?
[10:17] <gabbarinho> right
[10:17] <Spliffster> ramorek: i have just recently upgraded my evrey day desktop from edgy to feisty (7.4) this desktop is highly customized (beryl, skins, gnome-config) and runs a bunch of daemons for my daily development work (such as mailserver, ldap, kerberos, etc.) i have not had a single problem after upgrading. and it is running 4 weeks now (uptime 29 days). ...
[10:17] <gabbarinho> more minimalist, i suppose
[10:18] <gabbarinho> less pretty... but then again - no brown is a plus
[10:18] <PurpZeY> gabbarinho: That indicates your privaliges.

[10:20] <forever> hi there
[10:20] <forever> i want to know how can i format my ipod in linux?
[10:20] <forever> is there any way to use linux system in ipod?
[10:20] <thagoat> not yet forever
[10:20] <forever> hi
[10:20] <forever> anybody can help me about ipod in linux?
[10:20] <thagoat> butr soooooon!!
[10:20] <forever> i can t format it in ubuntu
[10:20] <|johnybot|> http://www.ipodlinux.org/
[10:20] <gabbarinho> there we go
[10:20] <forever> and if i have to format can i use it with ubuntu system
[10:20] <thagoat> goodl uck
[10:20] <gabbarinho> would "alien blah.rpm" install the file?
[10:21] <|johnybot|> no
[10:21] <thagoat> anyone use VNC to comtroll there second pc?
[10:21] <|johnybot|> sudo alien -i package-name.rpm
[10:21] <Spliffster> forever: there is a bunch of software out there to be usied with an ipod on linux. go google for it. depending on your favorite gui toolkit there is a lot of choice
[10:21] <gabbarinho> what is the sudo command, exactly?
[10:21] <PurpZeY> gabbarinho: for any program, if you don't know how to use it 'man <programname>' so man alien would help you out there...Or ask here...=)
[10:21] <vicente> thagoat: i usually use ssh but i have used vnc before
[10:21] <PurpZeY> !sudo | gabbarinho
[10:21] <ubotu> gabbarinho: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[10:21] <gabbarinho> ah
[10:22] <gabbarinho> thanks!
[10:22] <PurpZeY> gabbarinho: Basically, root is not great for everyday use, b/c you can mess things up, sudo helps to avoid that
[10:22] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho: if the file name is package-name.rpm just type pa then hit tab
[10:22] <|johnybot|> auto complete!
[10:22] <Spliffster> gabbarinho: in english. sudo is used to run programms as other an other user, for example as root (the admin user). therefore you do not need to log out and log in again all the time
[10:22] <thagoat> vicente: did u get a lotof "can't eject volume" errors with vnc
[10:22] <ramorek> is anyone in here good with linux ?
[10:23] <|johnybot|> ramorek: i am!
[10:23] <Spliffster> ramorek: i am using it for 15 yeas, but good ... well
[10:23] <thagoat> thst would be most of us ramorek
[10:23] <clutchmm> I was about to install a new VM with vmware server, but I want to install FC 5 or 6 and neither of them where on the list, the closest thing was Red Hat Linux "I believe it's closest", will that work or should I choose "other"?
[10:23] <puff> forever: One thing to watch out for, 5th gen ipods have encrypted firmware, so they are not yet usable with linux.
[10:23] <PurpZeY> gabbarinho: Auto-complete w/ tab works in most irc programs too...just type the beginning of a name, and then tab and poof full name
[10:23] <gabbarinho> aha
[10:23] <m1r> how to reconfigure all hardware on ubuntu HDD transfer ?
[10:24] <gabbarinho> well, i entered the alien command - i guess it worked
[10:24] <ramorek> ok then someone tell me what happend when i upgraded and restarted, when i login under the x(something) session it looks all scratchy and messed up and when i log into gnome session it works ?
[10:24] <PurpZeY> gabbarinho: Also, a lot of people have their IRC client to look for their name and colorize that line, so if you are talking to someone specific, that helps.
[10:24] <Spliffster> gabbarinho: did it spit a deb out ?
[10:24] <gabbarinho> is there a way i can, well, tell?
[10:24] <gabbarinho> hmm... not on the desktop
[10:24] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho: what were you installing
[10:24] <PurpZeY> gabbarinho: what was in the rpm?
[10:24] <gabbarinho> it's a program called sopcast
[10:24] <gabbarinho> TV streaming
[10:24] <PurpZeY> gabbarinho: Try running it
[10:24] <sx67> PurpZeY: should i put sudo /path/to/firefox/firefox -safe-mode
[10:24] <|johnybot|> in terminal type sopcast
[10:24] <thagoat> irc movie downloads?
[10:24] <gabbarinho> oh, right
[10:24] <thagoat> neone
[10:25] <PurpZeY> sx67: If you get a permissios error, yes.
[10:25] <gabbarinho> command not found, it says
[10:25] <makuseru> hwo can i find out my processor speed from a terminal?
[10:25] <gabbarinho> the command was "sudo alien -i package.rpm" right?
[10:25] <Spliffster> ramorek: try the fllowing. create a test user and log into xfce. if this works well but not with your old youser. your xfce profile is screwed up. i am no xfce user (not for a long time) and therefore can't give you detailed instructiosn how to fix it. it must be somewhere in your home dir in a .xfce* file or folder
[10:25] <sx67> PurpZeY: it just says command not sound
[10:26] <Spliffster> soundcard not configured ?
[10:26] <Spliffster> :-P
[10:26] <PurpZeY> sx67: run it with sudo.
[10:26] <gabbarinho> it basically... waits for a few seconds, then it allows me to enter commands again
[10:26] <PurpZeY> gabbarinho: Sounds about right.
[10:26] <gabbarinho> there is no indication that anything occurred
[10:26] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho: try typing just sop then use tab to auto complete
[10:26] <ramorek> does it matter what session i log into ? is there a difference between xfce and gnome ? should i just ignore it ?
[10:26] <gabbarinho> nope - not found
[10:26] <PurpZeY> |johnybot|: Is it possible it needs to be compiled?
[10:27] <sx67> PurpZeY: still command not found
[10:27] <PurpZeY> ramorek: It doesn't matter except if you care which manager you're using.
[10:27] <Spliffster> ramorek: xfce/gnome/kde share the xwindow configuration and tht's about it. the desktop specific configs are stored seperately by every environment. so yes, it does matter.
[10:27] <PurpZeY> sx67: cd /usr/lib
[10:27] <gabbarinho> here's something interesting though - now when i double click on the rpm, it OPENS
[10:27] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho: try sp-sc
[10:27] <gabbarinho> previously i was told that this type of file was not recognized
[10:27] <ramorek> but theyre all the same shh.. ?
[10:27] <gabbarinho> sp-sc?
[10:27] <forever> i just want to format my ipod in ubuntu, can anybody tell me if i can pls?
[10:28] <Spliffster> gabbarinho: probably alien
[10:28] <PurpZeY> gabbarinho: That means alien installed properly, you can probably extract it using the GUI now...but it sounds like johny is helping you and knows more than I.
[10:28] <Spliffster> ramorek: no they are not
[10:28] <thagoat> ok secret for ssh connections?
[10:28] <Spliffster> otherwise there wouldnt be gnome/xfce/kde if they were the same ;-P
[10:28] <ramorek> whats the difference ?
[10:28] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho: type sp-sc in terminal
[10:28] <PurpZeY> ramorek: The difference is mostly preference.
[10:29] <ramorek> like ?
[10:29] <ramorek> they all look the same to me
[10:29] <Spliffster> ramorek: do you want to do a philosophy hour with Dr. Spliffster or fix your problem ?
[10:29] <|johnybot|> sp-sc is the executable file
[10:29] <gabbarinho> no reaction, unfortunately - command not found
[10:29] <ramorek> lol
[10:29] <thagoat> anyone use ssh to control their second pc?
[10:29] <Spliffster> ramorek: they differ ... just try and experiment with em
[10:29] <Deadmeat996> hello
[10:29] <ramorek> my MAIN goal is to figure out if this thing can be counted on for everyday operations
[10:29] <Spliffster> ramorek: it is really a matter of _taste_
[10:29] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho: why not try using VLC to stream video
[10:30] <thagoat> vlc is great
[10:30] <porthose_> how do I export all my emails in evolution and save them to a file
[10:30] <ramorek> well gnome is running better for me .. faster that is.. is that a difference ?
[10:30] <gabbarinho> this is a special program that streams certain foreign channels
[10:30] <gabbarinho> it's p2p software essentially
[10:30] <PurpZeY> ramorek: Yes.
[10:30] <gabbarinho> i use it to watch the english premier league
[10:30] <sx67> PurpZeY: http://i17.tinypic.com/4le5cv9.png
[10:30] <ramorek> ok maybe i get the idea.. some sessions work better for certain people
[10:30] <PurpZeY> gabbarinho: I will look and see if there is any documentation
[10:30] <PurpZeY> ramorek: right
[10:30] <forever> how to format ipod in ubuntu pls?
[10:30] <gabbarinho> well... i can see the package now, at least
[10:30] <ramorek> see how simple that was
[10:30] <ramorek> lol
[10:31] <silvernode> hey whats a good firewall for linux?
[10:31] <gabbarinho> and i guess i can instead these tarz.bz2, tgz things
[10:31] <thagoat> a router
[10:31] <ramorek> so how do i figure out if this thing can be counted on for everyday operations ??
[10:31] <thagoat> lol
[10:31] <gabbarinho> er, install
[10:31] <PurpZeY> sx67: Stop trying to run /path/to/firefox
[10:31] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=258049
[10:31] <ramorek> and not crash on me out-of-the-blue ?
[10:31] <PurpZeY> sx67: type this into term ls | grep fire
[10:31] <thagoat> ubuntu doesnt crash
[10:31] <PurpZeY> @thagoat
[10:31] <ramorek> not for you at least
[10:31] <Spliffster> ramorek: xfce (when well configured) should be faster/slicker. gnome is a fully bload Desktop environment with the focus on minimizing features/displayed options (really xen!) and then there is kde, it has everything but a kitchen sink and it wil tell you in every dialog. you get a kazillion of options you probably never need. it's a question of preferences, your preferences
[10:31] <|johnybot|> step 1 download http://download.sopcast.org/download/sp-sc.tgz
[10:32] <thagoat> fuck kde
[10:32] <PurpZeY> !ohmy
[10:32] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[10:32] <gabbarinho> oh, wow
[10:32] <Carb0n> I'm having suspending my laptop (running Feisty)
[10:32] <Spliffster> thagoat: kde is cool, yous depends on _your_ needs!
[10:32] <thagoat> sorry
[10:32] <ramorek> thanks spliff
[10:32] <Spliffster> yw
[10:32] <ramorek> now my other ques.
[10:32] <Carb0n> when it wakes up, X can't come back
[10:32] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho: tell me when you r done that
[10:32] <thagoat> left windoze for a reason kde sux
[10:32] <ramorek> how do i figure out if this thing can be counted on for everyday operations
[10:32] <PurpZeY> Carb0n: Some people have problems wth suspend to memory.
[10:32] <PurpZeY> ramorek: Use it for a few days?
[10:33] <|johnybot|> ramorek: use it everyday
[10:33] <Small_Mac> what program in windows can i use to burn kubuntu onto a blank cd, thx
[10:33] <sx67> PurpZeY: two commands come up for ls | grep fire: they are firefox, and mozilla firefox, no savemode
[10:33] <|johnybot|> Small_Mac: Nero
[10:33] <gabbarinho> done!
[10:33] <thagoat> nero
[10:33] <Carb0n> PurpZeY: Even hibernating does't work properly
[10:33] <PurpZeY> sx67: Ok, just type firefox safe-mode
[10:33] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho: is it on your desktop?
[10:33] <gabbarinho> yep
[10:33] <thagoat> hibernate or suspend is tragic
[10:33] <ramorek> so i have to test this OS out ?
[10:34] <PurpZeY> Carb0n: My laptop hiberates and it takes so long to come back I might as well reboot.
[10:34] <simone_> during the boo of ubuntu live cd (7.04 and gutsy daily build) I have this error: "can't access tty; job control tuned off". Then i have a minimal bash "(initramfs)". Media is ok. Any idea?
[10:34] <|johnybot|> right click it and select extract here
[10:34] <Spliffster> ramorek: a linux system is usually stable. if it starts doing things wrong or strange, google for error messages. usually any problem can be solved in a short time (you get a lot of detailed error logs). if you cant resolve the problem via google, come here and have the error messages or logs ready and you will be helped!
[10:34] <forever> come on, i need help people to format my ipod in linux
[10:34] <PurpZeY> ramorek: We are telling you it works. You want to know if it will work everyday. If you don't believe us you have to try.
[10:34] <gabbarinho> done
[10:34] <forever> help people to format my ipod in linux
[10:34] <ramorek> i know but i did for a while and ended up rebooting on winxp for a while
[10:34] <|johnybot|> open terminal
[10:35] <ramorek> cause ubuntu kept freezing on me
[10:35] <PurpZeY> forever: www.ipodlinux.org
[10:35] <|johnybot|> cd Desktop
[10:35] <forever> help people to format my ipod in linux
[10:35] <Carb0n> PurpZeY: It didn't have problems with the default kernel.  When I updated the kernel all trouble started showing up
[10:35] <gabbarinho> and cd sp-sc, i suppose?
[10:35] <|johnybot|> cd sp-sc
[10:35] <Spliffster> forever: if you want to run linux on your ipod, check this: http://www.rockbox.org/ ... but be assured. you need quiet some linux knowledge
[10:35] <|johnybot|> yes
[10:35] <PurpZeY> forever: I just gave you a website.
[10:35] <Carb0n> PurpZey: Know any method to resolve it?
[10:35] <Gothfunc> just installed ubuntu feisty server on my desktop.  everything goes smoothly until i get tot he login prompt.  my keyboard doesn't work.  when i reboot my keyboard works, until i get to the login prompt.  help :(
[10:35] <forever> PurpZeY thx
[10:36] <sogen> gabbarinho: how i can split files?
[10:36] <ramorek> OK, so how is it i can figure out if the xfce session is all screwed up ?
[10:36] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho: sudo cp sp-sc /usr/local/bin/
[10:36] <forever> PurpZeY: im going there to see
[10:36] <PurpZeY> Carb0n: I personally don't want to suspend to RAM. b/c I just assume shutdown so I've never even tried, like I said hibernate takes so long, it's not even woth it.
[10:36] <Carb0n> PurpZey: OK
[10:36] <PurpZeY> ramorek: If you can't get into it properly, it's probably not right.
[10:36] <gabbarinho> done!
[10:36] <Spliffster> ramorek: create a new user in gnome, log out, log into xfce. if the new user can log in and the old can't come back here
[10:36] <ramorek> so if gnome works with the same usr then stick with gnome ?
[10:36] <forever> Spliffster: im going to analyze
[10:37] <SerCanii> hi, How can I connect my ubuntu via samba server? I insstall samba and create a folder but when I try to reach my ubuntu it ask me user name and pass, I create an acc but still I cant login :(
[10:37] <|johnybot|> http://linuxtoy.org/deb/gtksopcast_0.1.1-1_i386.deb download and run
[10:37] <Spliffster> forever: good luck
[10:37] <sx67> PurpZeY: http://i8.tinypic.com/4y4zs49.png
[10:37] <nathan_murr> thats funny, any sudo command from alt-f2 won't work anymore - for instance sudo nautilus....
[10:37] <Spliffster> forever: i have seen it on a friends iRiver, rockbox really rox!
[10:37] <PurpZeY> ramorek: Many people use gnome b/c it's standard for ubuntu install.
[10:37] <iseng>  /server phoenix.ui.edu
[10:38] <gabbarinho> hmm, that takes me to a webpage and not a direct download link
[10:38] <ramorek> where can i learn all about the filessytem how it works and the sudo, and all that ?
[10:38] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho:  oops
[10:38] <sx67> PurpZeY: the command launches it I believe in safemode, but just searches for it...
[10:38] <Spliffster> ramorek: if xfce does only not work with your user, how about fix it ? :-P
[10:38] <|johnybot|> http://linuxtoy.org/files/deb/gtk-sopcast_0.2.8-1_i386.deb
[10:38] <gabbarinho> a webpage with... chinese!
[10:38] <ramorek> ok spliff how ?
[10:38] <gabbarinho> got it :)
[10:39] <Spliffster> ramorek: first make sure xfce does work with another user, create one, log into xfce with the new user. if you can confirm it is only your user, then we get to the next step ... one after another.
[10:39] <|johnybot|> it opens with package installer (gdebi
[10:39] <ramorek> why do i fin linux so darn intimidating ?? i hate windows !!! why god did i learn it ?

[10:53] <gabbarinho> nothing i can think of, johny
[10:53] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho:
[10:53] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho: damn im outa halp juice :(
[10:53] <|johnybot|> help*
[10:53] <gabbarinho> sopcast will do nicely for now
[10:53] <gabbarinho> hehe
[10:53] <ramorek> is xubuntu the OS ?
[10:53] <phanto1> can somebody tacke a look at my alsa install it givs mee after the install this message : No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found. I dont install it for the first time it functiond befor .
[10:54] <cry0x> ramorek, no, it's only the desktop environment xfce and associated programs
[10:54] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho: you know you can press up in a terminal to get your previous commands?
[10:54] <Spliffster> ramorek: this will take a min. in the meanwile some help to make your desicion. xfce is good if you have a slow cpu or not much ram (say below 500mb) gnome on the other hand is convenient if you have a recent pc (say not older than 4-5 years)
[10:54] <CocoAUS> what's the command to rename a partition?
[10:54] <momo> there is the link for the screen shot http://img371.imageshack.us/my.php?image=capturemomomomodesktopzv2.png
[10:54] <DarkED> bionoid: that seems to be the one i was missing... will let you know if anything else goes foul, but thank you!
[10:54] <gabbarinho> you mean scroll up? i noticed that - an improvement on dos
[10:54] <bionoid> DarkED: np :)
[10:54] <PurpZeY> sx67: You with me still?
[10:54] <sx67> yes
[10:54] <sx67> hold on
[10:54] <|johnybot|> CocoAUS: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=342168
[10:55] <ramorek> is there a sys preferences to see ram in ubuntu ?
[10:55] <sx67> ooo....
[10:55] <gabbarinho> i am gonna have to get used to typing again - but that's something i expect i'll enjoy
[10:55] <Spliffster> ramorek: xubuntu is "only" the desktop environment. you have choice there between many DE's. the linux kernel, GNU userland tools and the daemons (like webserver, mailserver, etc.) make up the operating system.
[10:55] <gabbarinho> especially as a laptop user (keyboard > trackpad)
[10:55] <cry0x> ramorek, System Monitor, or type "top" or "free" in the terminal
[10:55] <CocoAUS> thanks johnybot
[10:55] <sx67> IT WORKED$#($)#Q
[10:55] <PurpZeY> gabbarinho: If you have problems with your touchpad, there are even packages to help with that.
[10:55] <PurpZeY> sx67: What changed?
[10:55] <sx67> dude that took way too long for (2 hours) for safemode fire fire
[10:55] <Gothfunc> hi, just installed ubuntu feisty server on my desktop.  everything goes smoothly until i get tot he login prompt.  my keyboard doesn't work.  when i reboot my keyboard works, until i get to the login prompt. the keyboard stops working exactly after "setting up console font and keymap" on startup.  same happens in single user mode.  how can i fix this?
[10:55] <|johnybot|> momo: make sure the window is in focus
[10:55] <Spliffster> gabbarinho: aaargh ...i  feel your pain with laptop keyboards ... where was that fscking [ again ? ;)
[10:56] <CocoAUS> i'm actually looking to name the partition rather than just the mount folders
[10:56] <gabbarinho> well, i think it's the hardware rather than the software that's the problem there - or perhaps my fingers :)
[10:56] <ramorek> ok spliff its done
[10:56] <sx67> it is back to default PurpZeY
[10:56] <|johnybot|> momo: press tab to highlight ok
[10:56] <sx67> I disabled addons
[10:56] <neil_feisty> what could i use in gnome for bluetooth app
[10:56] <|johnybot|> momo: then pres enter
[10:56] <gabbarinho> my keyboard is actually reasonable
[10:56] <Spliffster> ok ramorek try to log in with your user and xfce ... it should hopefully work now
[10:56] <PurpZeY> sx67: How did the safemode window finally come up? Did you do something different?
[10:56] <phanto1> Can somebody please tacke a look at my alsa install it givs mee after the install this message : No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found. I dont install it for the first time it functiond befor .
[10:56] <neil_feisty> what could i use in gnome for bluetooth app
[10:56] <PurpZeY> sx67: Was it hiding behind the other window?
[10:56] <gabbarinho> i wish i had one of those thinkpads though
[10:56] <Spliffster> ramorek: good luck
[10:56] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho: usually you dont have to type anything but its faster if you know what your doing
[10:56] <ramorek> k brb
[10:57] <sx67> I closed all windows, restarted the command prompt, typed everything back in and it worked
[10:57] <gabbarinho> what other kinds of stuff do you do in terminal?
[10:57] <cry0x> everything
[10:57] <gabbarinho> well, i suppose you can do *everything*
[10:57] <Spliffster> |johnybot|: so how do you write your messages in irc without typing ... zen !? :-P
[10:57] <PurpZeY> sx67: Alls well that ends well I suppose. Glad it worked out.

[10:58] <ramorek> is there a diff ?
[10:58] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho: try installing lynx (sudo apt-get install lynx)
[10:59] <Spliffster> zaggynl: the ubuntu update manager tells you about updates and you also get a change log. i know its not the same as advisories but they seem to be pretty fast rolling out updates
[10:59] <gabbarinho> is there a shortcut to bring up terminal?
[10:59] <Stilling> can someone help me with ubuntu
[10:59] <zaggynl> Spliffster, sure thing, I was wondering if there was an archive, I'

[10:59] <Stilling> i have a little problem
[10:59] <|johnybot|> ctrl-f2 i think

[11:00] <tarelerulz> What is the name for  the package for encyripted dvd ?
[11:00] <sx67> I did, it prob got lost because of your handel
[11:00] <ramorek> the session was XGL not XFCE
[11:00] <ramorek> is there a diff ?
[11:00] <gabbarinho> ah, good idea - thanks

[11:00] <Stilling> who can help me with bash: ./sc: cannot execute binary file please
[11:00] <Spliffster> ramorek: is there a specific reason you want to use xgl ?
[11:00] <tony_> who
[11:00] <gabbarinho> ah, lynx - i've heard of this for years
[11:00] <ramorek>  no its just the default one that was set
[11:01] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho: after you install lynx just type lynx in the command line and hit enter
[11:01] <Spliffster> gabbarinho: prolly because lyx got superseeded by links and then by w3m ? :-P
[11:01] <gabbarinho> man, this is like using DOS all over again
[11:01] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho: now your browsing with power!!!!

[11:02] <muriu> |johnybot|, does openoffice have a feature like the office clipboard in windows office?
[11:02] <Spliffster> ramorek: if oyu are not going to use fancy 3d stuff, you do not need xgl. if you want a really stable system, you might want to leave xgl aside untill you get a bit familliar with the system
[11:02] <phanto1> Can somebody tacke a look at my alsa install it givs mee after the install this message : No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found. I dont install it for the first time it functiond befor .

[11:03] <ramorek> alot of icons are not working
[11:03] <gabbarinho> man
[11:03] <gabbarinho> how do I enter a URL?
[11:03] <Spliffster> ramorek: abou your concerns about stability. altough i am using beryl i would not recommend it to someone who demands a super stable environment. beryl is still beta.
[11:03] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho: press g
[11:03] <|johnybot|> then type url
[11:03] <muriu> |johnybot|, its a feature in windows office which you use to automatically copy staff from the intenet. As in, the moment you say copy, its already pasted in some clip board
[11:03] <Stilling> ramorek can you help me please?
[11:03] <ramorek> ohh
[11:03] <Spliffster> beryl works with gnome, kde and xfce
[11:03] <ramorek> <<ramorek is only good with networking NOT linux, lol
[11:03] <gabbarinho> oh man
[11:03] <crdlb> ramorek, what video card do you have?
[11:04] <gabbarinho> this is ridiculous!
[11:04] <|johnybot|> muriu: ubuntu should have a global clipboard
[11:04] <Spliffster> ramorek: btw, if you don't want/need xfce: sudo apt-get remove --purge xubuntu-desktop
[11:04] <ramorek> ati something
[11:04] <phanto1> Can somebody tacke a look at my alsa install it givs mee after the install this message : No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found. I dont install it for the first time it functiond befor .

[11:04] <ramorek> ahhh
[11:04] <crdlb> specifics are important :)
[11:04] <ramorek> how do i learn the grep and sudo and all that ??
[11:04] <muriu> |johnybot|, could you please offer more specific instructions? i just cant find it.
[11:04] <Spliffster> ramorek: please if you talk to me, can you prefix your msg with my name so i keep track of you .. otherwise its hard in this spamfest channel

[11:05] <Spliffster> ramorek: http://ora.com has very nice books about linux and unix tools. the first thing you might want to make yourself fmmiliar with is the shell. bash usually on linux. try "man bash" in a shell. this is the bash's manual page
[11:06] <muriu> |johnybot|, you don't understand my question. That process is exactly what im trying to avoid by using the clip board thing
[11:06] <hans_> Hi! anyone have any familiarity with Ubuntu 6.06 server and can explain why it does not read ubuntu /var/spool/cron/crontabs ? hehe
[11:06] <ramorek> ok
[11:06] <crdlb> ramorek, you don't need Xgl then
[11:06] <crdlb> if you haven't installed fglrx
[11:06] <ramorek> i dont know
[11:06] <|johnybot|> muriu: you could also highlight text, go into the document and press left and right mouse button at the same time
[11:06] <phanto1> Can somebody tacke a look at my alsa install it givs mee after the install this message : No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found. I dont install it for the first time it functiond befor .
[11:06] <crdlb> ramorek, using the default driver, beryl will just work (after installing it of course)
[11:07] <ramorek> so spliff no beryl ?
[11:07] <Spliffster> hans_: just a guess, is the cron daemon not running ?
[11:07] <ramorek> is beryl what was causing the shift+backspace restart though ?
[11:07] <crdlb> ramorek, no Xgl was
[11:07] <crdlb> and you don't need Xgl
[11:07] <ramorek> oooh so i delete it or ?
[11:08] <crdlb> if you use the default driver, not the ati proprietary driver
[11:08] <crdlb> ramorek, run: fglrxinfo
[11:08] <hans_> Spliffster: ya, it is. but it only reads from /etc/crontab and /etc/cron*
[11:08] <xima> Hello, i got a problem with linux. it stands that the package is wrong, so my system cant start update
[11:08] <Spliffster> ramorek: it depends on your needs. if you want a super stable desktop, no dont use beryl. if you want eye candy: open synaptics and install beryl. be prepared to fiddle with config files ... although it  worked here soem ppl have problems (hardware support)
[11:08] <gabbarinho> when is it expected to go "1.0"?
[11:08] <phanto1> Can somebody tacke a look at my alsa install it givs mee after the install this message : No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found. I dont install it for the first time it functiond befor .
[11:08] <ramorek> ok. so why do i only have 2 workspaces ?
[11:09] <|johnybot|> momo: sorry i just read up on it
[11:09] <|johnybot|> momo: no there is no equivalent
[11:09] <Spliffster> hans_: is it supposed to read in the spool dir ? i have no 6.06 so i cannot verify the man page. paths are lised in the manpage. it prolly is a compile time configuration and if you want to change it you must recompile. or just symlink ?
[11:09] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho: what is 1.0?
[11:10] <bionoid> phanto1: not sure for that error message but multimedia greatly improved for me on a number of other issues by installing the package called gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse
[11:10] <Spliffster> ramorek: you can configure workspaces. most linux newcomers don't even use 2 ;)
[11:10] <ramorek> spliffster :
[11:10] <momo__> #ubuntu-fr
[11:10] <Spliffster> ramorek: system > administration > somewher ;)
[11:10] <ramorek> spliffster : how do i clean up this machine? i.e get rid of crossover linux and such
[11:11] <ramorek> spliffster : is root like the c: ?
[11:11] <Gothfunc> fesity server boots with the wrong keymap.  i am in init=/bin/bash.  how do i change the keymap via console? :s  the google search is a maze
[11:11] <Gothfunc> *feisty
[11:11] <gabbarinho> oh, er
[11:11] <Spliffster> ramorek: the simplest way is open synaptic. search for the packages and remove them
[11:11] <hans_> spliffster: well, it seems to be a rather typical place to have user-specific crontabs, but maybe ubuntu has it in a slightly different path, perhaps, i will have a look. this is the default in webmin, so thats where im going from
[11:11] <gabbarinho> how can i make VLC my default player for video files?
[11:11] <|johnybot|> ramorek: http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/i/tr/downloads/images/mk/10_things_linux_filesystems.jpg
[11:11] <Spliffster> hans_: i see, i'd RTFM (without trying to be rude)
[11:12] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho: are you in gnome or xfce?
[11:12] <hans_> spliffster: no problems, thanks for the tip
[11:12] <gabbarinho> still in gnome
[11:12] <Spliffster> ramorek: / is like c: in some whay, just there are no drive names in linux. you can mount any partition anywhere you like
[11:12] <TheUnknownOne> Is there a GNOME program out there that acts like GarageBand for Mac, in that you can create music just from the provided assorted loops?
[11:12] <JackPhil> Hi all, where to download a compiled  xine-fontconv?
[11:12] <|johnybot|> i believe you right click on a video file and go to properties
[11:13] <ramorek> hmm
[11:13] <ramorek> interesting
[11:13] <|johnybot|> one of the tabs lets you set it
[11:13] <gabbarinho> aha
[11:13] <gabbarinho> a question, johny - when you selected a stream in sopcast, did it bring up your video player?
[11:14] <|johnybot|> it buffered a bit then popped up the video
[11:14] <TheUnknownOne> Is there a GNOME program out there that acts like GarageBand for Mac, in that you can create music just from the provided assorted loops?
[11:14] <re-align> Hmm, #ubuntu-offtopic is dead...:/
[11:14] <aMMuNix> what's the command to get all the devices and their "/dev/..." path, "cat" something...
[11:14] <ramorek> so how does anyone know how to access things from the cli ?
[11:14] <gabbarinho> ah, well it buffers for me, but the video never appears - i am wondering if that's because i don't have a program associated with the type of file it uses
[11:14] <ramorek> is theres no dev names ?
[11:15] <|johnybot|> TheUnknownOne:  http://www.jokosher.org/
[11:15] <mc44> ramorek: "access things"? what things?
[11:15] <Spliffster> ramorek: if you want to edit a text file typ: gedit /home/myhome/somefile.txt
[11:15] <TheUnknownOne> |johnybot|: Thanks.
[11:15] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho: the % percent keeps going to 100 then it shows up
[11:15] <gabbarinho> i guess it just hasn't reached 100% yet
[11:15] <Spliffster> ramorek: or if you want to do without X, replace gedit with vi, vi is a bit a different editor ... so you might have to learn it first. vi is extremely powerfull once you get around it's concept
[11:16] <TheUnknownOne> |johnybot|: While I remember, do you know a way to run kscreensaver as default on GNOME and Xfce?
[11:16] <aMMuNix> what's the command to get all the devices and their "/dev/..." path, "cat" something...
[11:16] <ramorek> can i use ubuntu strictly in text? thats what ide like to master
[11:16] <ramorek> i think it'll help alot on understanding the sys
[11:16] <|johnybot|> TheUnknownOne: no clue :(
[11:17] <Spliffster> aMMuNix: if you are looking for block devices then it is "mount" if you are looking for pci devices, then its "lspci" if you are looking for usbdevs "lsusb" HTH
[11:17] <TheUnknownOne> |johnybot|: It's OK, thanks for the link to jokosher.
[11:17] <re-align> ramorek, yes, you can, it just takes practice and the ability to look up commands for the command line.
[11:17] <Phylo> I tried to update my system (download and install updates through Update Manager), it locked up while installing stuff, now when I try to boot I get "[17179570.736000]  Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0, 0)
[11:17] <Phylo> "
[11:17] <Spliffster> aMMuNix: or are you looking for "ls -l /dev" ?
[11:17] <|johnybot|> ramorek: http://www.insidesocal.com/click/2007/05/a_month_on_the_command_line_da.html
[11:18] <aMMuNix> Spliffster, no, something beginning with cat
[11:18] <Phylo> wtf do I do?
[11:18] <gabbarinho> oh... i see, it's set to use "MPlayer" by default
[11:18] <Spliffster> ramorek .... if you hit "CTRL+ALT+F1" you get a plain old console (no XWindow).... ALT+F7 to go back to X.
[11:18] <gabbarinho> I am not sure that I have that
[11:18] <aMMuNix> sorry for the dumb question, but I remember using it to see see a list of all my input (I think) devices and their path in /dev/
[11:18] <ramorek> ok one final task before i leave today, can someone help me setup vnc so i can login under one session ? and not creat like a million sessions ?
[11:18] <Spliffster> well aMMuNix cat is a programm to dump data to stdout
[11:19] <ramorek> spliffster : thanks
[11:19] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho: what is
[11:19] <re-align> Phylo, it sounds like that machine's <censored>. I'd try reinstalling from a CD.
[11:19] <TheUnknownOne> Phylo: have you tried rebooting it?
[11:19] <aMMuNix> Spliffster, any way you can think of using it to get the devices output then?
[11:19] <Spliffster> ramorek: in gnome you have an administration utility to configure "Remote Desktop Logins" it uses vnc ... check the admin section in the menu
[11:19] <Phylo> re-align:  holy christ, I've installed Ubuntu 8 times so far
[11:19] <ramorek> if im logged in why does cli say login ?
[11:19] <gabbarinho> in the config tab, sopcast is set to use MPlayer
[11:19] <TheUnknownOne> Phylo: Which version of Ubuntu is it?
[11:20] <Phylo> 6.10
[11:20] <TheUnknownOne> Ah. Try 7.04 now.
[11:20] <Phylo> and it happens when I boot it, so yeah I've rebooted
[11:20] <Spliffster> aMMuNix: cat /dev/random # for example ... but this doesn't do anything usefull
[11:20] <Phylo> can't
[11:20] <ramorek> wait brb let me switch
[11:20] <Phylo> 7.04 won't install
[11:20] <|johnybot|> try typing mplayer in the terminal
[11:20] <Phylo> I've tried that 4 or 5 times too
[11:20] <TheUnknownOne> Phylo: What kind of error messages do you get?
[11:20] <Phylo> lockups
[11:20] <TheUnknownOne> Oh.
[11:20] <re-align> Phylo, reinstall 6.10 then.
[11:20] <aMMuNix> Spliffster, found it : "cat /proc/bus/input/devices"
[11:21] <gabbarinho> it lists a couple of programs - i guess i don't have them
[11:21] <re-align> And don't try upgrading to 7.04
[11:21] <Phylo> I didn't
[11:21] <Spliffster> ramorek: because you are on a multithreaded multiuser system. if you are on the console anyone can log in ... you might be another user or you might want to log into the same account again
[11:21] <Phylo> I just tried to update
[11:21] <TheUnknownOne> If reinstalling 6.10 doesn't work, try taking a backward step and install 6.06.
[11:21] <aMMuNix> Spliffster, sorry, it doesn't give the path in /dev
[11:21] <re-align> At least...until you find and fix tthe problem causing tthe lockups..
[11:21] <Spliffster> aMMuNix: great :)
[11:21] <TheUnknownOne> 6.06 is still supported and will be for a long time.
[11:21] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho:  sudo apt-get install mplayer
[11:21] <TheUnknownOne> In the meantime, try submitting a bug report.
[11:21] <aMMuNix> Spliffster, but still that is what I was looking for :P
[11:21] <NET||abuse>  /join #ffmpeg
[11:21] <gabbarinho> getting it now
[11:21] <TheUnknownOne> Do you think the problem is with your computer somehow?
[11:22] <re-align> Phylo, this is one reason it's good to have your /home on its own partition...
[11:22] <Phylo> TheUnknownOne:  Windows works on it fine
[11:22] <Spliffster> aMMuNix: also check out "lspci"
[11:22] <gabbarinho> oh. yikes - it looks like i have an outdated version of sopcast too
[11:22] <aMMuNix> just that Spliffster?
[11:22] <TheUnknownOne> Phylo: That says nothing about its Linux compatibility.
[11:22] <|johnybot|> oh i dont have program ubuntu: sudo apt-get install program windows: search for downlad...search for crack...
[11:22] <Spliffster> yep, i guess wou'll find the same info there
[11:22] <Spliffster> and more
[11:23] <gabbarinho> it's version 0.2.8 - there's a 1.0.2 available :)
[11:23] <Phylo> TheUnknownOne:  right, that just means my hardware is fine
[11:23] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho: the underlying program is 1.0.2
[11:23] <gabbarinho> ah
[11:23] <TheUnknownOne> Phylo: Well, that's true. But it also says that some of it might not like Ubuntu.
[11:23] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho: the GUI is 0.2.8
[11:23] <gabbarinho> oh, I see
[11:23] <Phylo> re-align, I can boot on what I think is a backup it must have made before updating, but when I did, I tried to get online, and the network manager didn't even show the option for wireless
[11:24] <TheUnknownOne> Phylo: My laptop came with Windoze and it took me months to install Ubuntu Edgy, let alone Feisty.
[11:24] <gabbarinho> looks like i have mplayer now, so i will retry
[11:24] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho: cross fingers
[11:24] <gabbarinho> :)
[11:24] <TheUnknownOne> Phylo: I have to go, good luck with Etchy.
[11:24] <gabbarinho> hurrah, the "player" link is now active
[11:25] <re-align> Phylo, I'm having my own issues with Network-Manager so I can't help you with that.
[11:25] <gabbarinho> it works!
[11:25] <gwark> I want a dual boot system ... should I have XP on the first or second partiton (of the same drive) ??
[11:25] <Spliffster> ramorek: check what beryl can do for you: http://spliffster.homeip.net/tmp/gaim-text.png
[11:25] <Spliffster> ramorek: and much more :)
[11:26] <gabbarinho> i wonder how to prevent it from opening full screen
[11:26] <gabbarinho> oh, got it
[11:26] <gabbarinho> hurrah! it works!
[11:26] <ramorek> so how do i get it the easy way ?
[11:26] <ramorek> same steps as edgy?
[11:26] <hellvie> Hey, how can i install ubuntu on a pendrive?
[11:26] <Spliffster> ramorek: no
[11:27] <Spliffster> ramorek: enable the universe and multivese repos and to an apt-get install beryl
[11:27] <ramorek> spliffster :
[11:27] <Spliffster> it all ships with feisty, just doesn't install by default
[11:27] <zwnj> seems nvidia kernel module doesn't support suspend/hibernate.  does it mean when i have a nvidia graphic card, i either can play movies and 3d stuff, or have suspend/hibernate support on feisty?
[11:27] <mm2000> hello dudes! I want to install mysql4, anyone knows how i can do that?
[11:27] <ramorek> spliffster : can you explain that to me
[11:27] <Spliffster> open synaptics
[11:27] <crdlb> ramorek, there's a guide in the topic of #ubuntu-effects
[11:27] <gwark> i have installed this a few times now ... is it best to give Ubuntu or WinXP the first sector of a Hard Drive (ie: <XP> - <ubuntu> - <fat32> )   ???
[11:27] <ramorek> spliffster : last time i enabled them everytime i went to update it gave me errors
[11:27] <Spliffster> i mean open "synaptic"
[11:28] <Spliffster> ramorek: i haven't tried it with feisty .... btu many have and i haven't heared problems. it's more integrated into the distro than ever. so it should work smootly
[11:28] <|johnybot|> gwark: dont matter none
[11:28] <|johnybot|> gwark: but you should have swap near center i believe
[11:29] <carrasco> Hello, I would like to know how put a script to be executed on the boot. Someone can help me?
[11:29] <preaction> ramorek: i installed it just a few hours ago and it worked rather well after i removed some bad hardware from my system
[11:29] <gwark> |johnybot|: ok, i appreciate the help :)
[11:29] <gwark> thankyou
[11:29] <aMMuNix> how do I leave full screen mode in VMWare?
[11:30] <gabbarinho> hmm - one more question, johny
[11:30] <|johnybot|> aMMuNix: ctrl alt enter
[11:30] <preaction> how a dying PCI port could interfere with everything else on the system i'll never know. maybe it's the southbridge
[11:30] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho: shoot
[11:30] <aMMuNix> thanks |johnybot|
[11:30] <Spliffster> ramorek: however, you must make sure to have a 3d capable video card with linux drivers. if your vid card is not supported, forget it. if you have an nVidia or intel card ... posabillity of support is high
[11:30] <Spliffster> ramorek: same goes for aTI, however they seem to have shady drivers ...
[11:30] <Spliffster> at least the 3d accelerated drivers seem to be a source of many problems with ati cards
[11:30] <gabbarinho> there are sop:// links on the schedule page
[11:30] <zwnj> seems nvidia kernel module doesn't support suspend/hibernate.  does it mean when i have a nvidia graphic card, i either can play movies and 3d stuff, or have suspend/hibernate support on feisty?
[11:30] <aMMuNix> should the mouse in VMware be slow?
[11:30] <ramorek> spliffster : i had it working on edgy
[11:31] <gabbarinho> but firefox doesn't seem to know that it should open them in sopcast
[11:31] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho: can you send link again
[11:31] <gabbarinho> sure: http://www.myp2p.eu/Matches/Match2.htm
[11:31] <ramorek> spliffster : all my drivers should be the same ?
[11:31] <crdlb> ramorek, did you upgrade to feisty or was it a fresh install?
[11:31] <Spliffster> ramorek: so you are sure to go. enable univers andm ultiverse. open synaptic. install the beryl packages, reboot. good luck (and remeber of beryl crashes, it will fall back to metacity, so you will be able to login in in any case)
[11:31] <mm2000> http://pastebin.ca/539687
[11:32] <ramorek> <<upgraded
[11:32] <crdlb> ramorek, then there's more you need to do
[11:32] <aMMuNix> should the mouse in VMware be slow?
[11:32] <Spliffster> aMMuNix: unless oyu have vmware-tools in the vm instaled, the mouse is slow
[11:33] <ewanm89> aMMuNix: Do you have cmware tools installed on the virtual machine?
[11:33] <aMMuNix> no I don't
[11:33] <ramorek> spliffster : whats metacity
[11:33] <Spliffster> aMMuNix: that's the problem
[11:33] <aMMuNix> how do I install it then?
[11:33] <ramorek> spliffster : hey can i ask you something about your desktop in a PM ?
[11:33] <ewanm89> aMMuNix: server or player?
[11:33] <aMMuNix> server
[11:33] <Spliffster> ramorek: metacity is the default window manager of gnome. it will be replaced by the beryl windows manager when bery is installd. if beryls wm fails, metacity is loaded again ... gracefully
[11:34] <ewanm89> It is in one of the menus at the top
[11:34] <ramorek> spliffster : hey can i ask you something about your desktop in a PM ?
[11:34] <Spliffster> ramorek: the launcher is called avantwindow-manager .... i get this asked all the time :-P
[11:34] <Spliffster> *avant-window-navigator
[11:34] <Spliffster> ;)
[11:34] <ewanm89> aMMuNix: VM menu
[11:34] <Spliffster> sure .. pm me
[11:34] <aMMuNix> thanks ewanm89
[11:34] <ewanm89> np
[11:35] <aMMuNix> can I do this while the machine is running?
[11:35] <ewanm89> You have to do it in each VM.
[11:35] <aMMuNix> only have 1
[11:35] <ewanm89> So while it is running.
[11:35] <Spliffster> aMMuNix: you must do it while the guest is running!
[11:35] <aMMuNix> ah :P
[11:36] <ewanm89> aMMuNix: It takes over the cd into the guest.
[11:36] <ramorek> spliffster : avant comes in synaptics ?
[11:36] <Spliffster> ramorek, nope
[11:36] <ewanm89> aMMuNix: Mounts an iso image with vmware drivers and utilities on it.
[11:37] <|johnybot|> gabbarinho: umm no clue
[11:37] <aMMuNix> I don't understand ewanm89
[11:37] <ramorek> spliffster : did you get the PM ques
[11:37] <gabbarinho> that's ok - i'll figure it out, or try to :)
[11:37] <ewanm89> Just run it
[11:37] <aMMuNix> I have
[11:37] <Spliffster> ramorek: here are feisty install instructions http://awn.wetpaint.com/page/Ubuntu+Feisty+Repository choose the svn version. be aware that this is BETA software
[11:37] <aMMuNix> already mounted an iso before that
[11:38] <Spliffster> ramorek: and here is the official site of "Avant Window Navigator" http://code.google.com/p/avant-window-navigator/
[11:38] <Spliffster> ramorek: i'll be right back ... gonna smoke one

[11:39] <ramorek> spliffster : one thing
[11:39] <ramorek> spliffster : wheres the vnc manager?
[11:39] <aMMuNix> mouse is still slow ewanm89
[11:40] <_Codeman_> is LjL around?
[11:40] <ewanm89> aMMuNix: Have you actually installed them (cdrom drive in guest).
[11:40] <aMMuNix> ohh,, no :P
[11:40] <aMMuNix> nevermind, I understood it wrong
[11:41] <ramorek> spliffster : how come beryl is still installed but when i click select windows manager > beryl it wont work ?
[11:42] <crdlb> ramorek, run fglrxinfo
[11:42] <crdlb> and pastebin the output
[11:42] <ramorek> how do i go about the pastebin again ?

[11:44] <crdlb> ramorek, well your fglrx is broken
[11:44] <crdlb> ramorek, pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[11:44] <ramorek> im guessing w. the update?
[11:45] <Spliffster> ramorek: prolly wrong x configuration
[11:45] <crdlb> ramorek, how did you install fglrx on edgy?
[11:45] <ewanm89> aMMuNix: What is the os of the vm?
[11:45] <aMMuNix> windows XP
[11:45] <ramorek> i duno, just followed steps on beryl site
[11:45] <|johnybot|> aMMuNix: XP!!!!!!!!!!!

[11:46] <ubotu> david: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[11:46] <Spliffster> ramorek: i'd advice you to do one step after another, vnc or beryl ? hehe
[11:46] <ramorek> lol
[11:46] <ramorek> vnc first
[11:46] <aMMuNix> why ewanm89?
[11:47] <|johnybot|> windows 98 or 98se?
[11:47] <ewanm89> aMMuNix: I was hoping the bot would pickup on it
[11:47] <david> im trying to install nvidia drivers for my 7600GT but im pretty new to this so havent really got a clue. ive followed the instructions on the nvidia site, but it doesnt work =S
[11:47] <ewanm89> se

[11:47] <aMMuNix> oh lol
[11:47] <crdlb> david, use the restricted drivers manager
[11:47] <mc44> david: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[11:47] <ramorek> spliffster : ?
[11:47] <Spliffster> ramorek: System > Administration > Remote desktop ... there you can configure the vnc server. if you have a firewall, make sure vnc ports are allowed from the other computer
[11:48] <david> 7.04 the latest one off the site
[11:48] <|johnybot|> dak: http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[11:48] <ramorek> spliffster : 5900
[11:48] <|johnybot|> david** http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[11:48] <ramorek> spliffster : ?
[11:48] <sutabi> Is there a way I can change my screen resolution  higher then 1024x768 from the admin panel? I know I can edit my X11 conf file but then I need to restart my x11
[11:48] <mc44> david: then go into System->Admin->restricted driver manager
[11:48] <david> i tried the restricted drivers maanger, but accoridng to the nvidia i had to unistall some packages so this is no longer available
[11:48] <Spliffster> ramorek: ya ... depending on your settings prolly 5901
[11:48] <mc44> |johnybot|: why recommend that for feisty? its not needed
[11:48] <Spliffster> ramorek: i'd have to RTFM this myself. check "man vncserver" for detailed port informations
[11:48] <ramorek> spliffster : how do i change the vnc servr settings ?
[11:48] <crdlb> it's not needed on any release
[11:49] <crdlb> envy is terrible
[11:49] <mc44> well, quite
[11:49] <mc44> david: I don't understand, what did you uninstall?
[11:49] <Spliffster> ramorek: i guess you'd do this in /etc
[11:49] <|johnybot|> sutabi: after you edit xorg.conf just ctrl-alt-backspace
[11:49] <aMMuNix> ewanm89, should I install my graphics card's driver on my VM? just finished installing the OS and VMware tools
[11:50] <ramorek> spliffster : /etc?
[11:50] <david> sec ill link the instructions
[11:50] <Spliffster> ramorek: i have never changed vnc ports in ubuntu's setup ... just when i have set up vncserver manually ... so i do not know fro mexperience. unless you do not need to change ports .. save this xcercise for later
[11:50] <sutabi> |johnybot|: Is there a way I cna save a sesison of my gnome applications running?
[11:50] <mc44> david: in general it is a bad idea to install the drivers from nvidia
[11:50] <sutabi> |johnybot|: since that kills them all :\
[11:50] <ramorek> spliffster : default port = 5901 or 5900 ?
[11:50] <Spliffster> ramorek: /etc is the global config directory where most applications such as vncserver store their config files
[11:51] <Spliffster> 5900
[11:51] <guest1181031568> frf
[11:51] <Spliffster> ramorek: it's 5900 here on my desktop
[11:51] <|johnybot|> sutabi: the gnome apps would be running on the X window so i dont think so
[11:51] <david> whys that?
[11:51] <ramorek> spliffster : and everytime i vnc it opens a new session ?
[11:51] <david> surely the drivers would be better than generic drivers that come with the system>#
[11:51] <david> ?*
[11:51] <ramorek> spliffster : theres no way to just login to the current session ?
[11:51] <mc44> david: no, ubuntu ships with packged versions of the divers which work and update properly
[11:51] <crdlb> david, the exact same driver is installed by the restricted drivers manager
[11:52] <bionoid> I've had my Feisty running quite well since I installed it - but I have one problem that I'm unsure how to solve. I have an Intel 945GM graphics adapter, but the drivers have _extremely_ poor 3D performance. For example Google Earth is completely unusable, need at least 30 minutes to complete the 2-second start animation. Anyone have an idea what might cause this?
[11:52] <Spliffster> ramorek, vnc usually should be attached to a current session. what you describe is known as xdmcp
[11:52] <ramorek> let me try it out
[11:52] <david> ah k, so i kinda messed up my following thier siet huh?
[11:52] <david> site*
[11:52] <mc44> yes
[11:52] <crdlb> bionoid, glxinfo|grep direct
[11:53] <crdlb> in a terminal
[11:53] <david> http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=72490 - thats the site i used
[11:53] <bionoid> crdlb: direct rendering: Yes
[11:54] <ewanm89> aMMuNix: no, I don't think it is neccersary. (I'll check in a mo)
[11:54] <mc44> david: er... those are instructions for Fedora!
[11:54] <crdlb> mc44, bottom of the post
[11:54] <david> its says further down about ubuntu/debian
[11:54] <Spliffster> ramorek: i have just tested it. the builtin remote desktop exports your current login session as a standalone vncserver session would do
[11:54] <bionoid> I forgot to mention: Compiz runs very smoothly. But G.E. does not, and Parallels have horrible graphics performance as opposed to when run on Windows on the same hardware
[11:54] <mc44> david: ah, sorry :)
[11:54] <bionoid> er, and by Compiz, I mean Beryl
[11:54] <david> =)
[11:55] <ramorek> spliffster : in english ?
[11:55] <crdlb> bionoid, well no idea tbh
[11:55] <helpme> hello
[11:55] <helpme> how can i view my hardware info via terminal?
[11:55] <ramorek> spliffster : ohhh it uses the same session
[11:55] <crdlb> helpme, lspci
[11:55] <Spliffster> bionoid: there is no virtualizing solution yet which can take advantage of 3d accelerated hardware. therefore performance of xompiz+beryl in a virtual machine is to be expected poor
[11:55] <ramorek> spliffster : ok i cant login using the local command...
[11:55] <mc44> david: so, you removed the restricted-drivers, what else did you do?
[11:55] <helpme> the command didnt work
[11:56] <david> everything that the site told me to lol
[11:56] <bionoid> Spliffster: Yeah I know but that's not my question. I'm not trying to use 3D from within the VM - I run Beryl on Host OS and it's smooth. But Google Earth on host os is horrible, and 2D graphics performance is parallels is absoluetly ridiculous
[11:56] <xukun> is there something like visio for linux?
[11:56] <Spliffster> ramorek: sorry, what des not work? try the following on the comamnd line: vncviewe localhost
[11:56] <ramorek> spliffster : ok now it does
[11:56] <Spliffster> *vncviewer localhost
[11:56] <Spliffster> ok
[11:56] <ramorek> spliffster : let me try from another pc
[11:56] <Spliffster> :)
[11:56] <Spliffster> ok
[11:56] <bionoid> Spliffster: But when I ran windows both host and guest it was much smoother (and, google earth et al runs just fine)
[11:57] <david> i just tried envy that johnnybot linked and it looks like its reinstalled all the packages that the site told me to uninstall =S
[11:57] <|johnybot|> xukun: http://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:oC7EgJ9iLr4J:www.osalt.com/visio+visio+linux+alternative&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=ca
[11:57] <|johnybot|> http://www.osalt.com/visio**
[11:57] <Spliffster> bionoid: windows does not use 3d accel for the window manager ... only the expensive vistas do. so beryl is different fro mwindows
[11:57] <aMMuNix> ewanm89, how can I add custom display resolutions then?
[11:57] <crdlb> david, noooo
[11:57] <david> uh oh?
[11:58] <crdlb> egads
[11:58] <|johnybot|> david: dont listen to me im an idiot
[11:58] <david> lol
[11:58] <|johnybot|> a big one
[11:58] <hiways85> hi
[11:58] <mc44> david: have you spent a lot of time installing your system so far... :)
[11:58] <|johnybot|> hiways85: hello
[11:58] <bionoid> Spliffster: ..
[11:58] <Spliffster> ya ?
[11:58] <david> newp, only took about 10 minutes to install the os, think i should start again? then leave it as it is?
[11:59] <bionoid> Spliffster: Yeah but you're still not touching the question I'm asking, just stating some seemingly unrelated random facts. Thanks anyway
[11:59] <|johnybot|> david: only need the nvidia drivers if your doing 3d stuff
[11:59] <mc44> david: if it doesn't work now, your best bet is to reinstall and turn on the nvidia drivers using the restricted manager, which takes about 5 seconds :)
[11:59] <hiways85> can i hide my ip in opera
[11:59] <|johnybot|> hiways85: use a proxy
[11:59] <Spliffster> bionoid: yo usay beryl is slow in parralels ? well it's a known fact. or did i miss you question ?
[11:59] <DarkED> any idea what i'm missing here? > http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24191/
[11:59] <aMMuNix> how can I add a custom display resolution to my virtual machine?
[12:00] <bionoid> Spliffster: No that is NOT what I'm saying at all.
[12:00] <Spliffster> mmmm'kay
[12:00] <DarkED> i have those .dll's in GTASA's directory
[12:00] <david> well im eventually going to be installing games, such as WoW so i just want to be able to get the best 3d performance
[12:00] <gnomefreak> bionoid: what is your question?
[12:00] <DarkED> do they need to go somewhere else?
[12:00] <hiways85> thanks johny
[12:00] <|johnybot|> DarkED:  maybe that is better in a wine channel
[12:01] <ewanm89> aMMuNix: I think there is a vmware display driver somewhere (might be amongst the tools or in windows drivers, also try from windows update).
[12:01] <DarkED> |johnybot|: it's cedega, NOT wine
[12:01] <|johnybot|> cedega uses wine
[12:01] <yobrien> use windows if you want the best performance for windows games
[12:01] <aMMuNix> alright
[12:01] <bionoid> gnomefreak: In some scenarios my GM945 performs extremely poorly on Feisty. Google Earth is one example - it's so slow it's not even funny (30 minutes to start, 2 minutes to open a menu etc), but Beryl runs smoothly. Also 2D graphics performance in a virtual machine is completely ridiculous (1fps)
[12:01] <Spliffster> isn't gogole earth running in wine ?
[12:01] <ewanm89> aMMuNix: I'll look myself when 98se is installed.
[12:01] <bionoid> Spliffster: No.
[12:01] <aMMuNix> ok
[12:02] <aMMuNix> thanks
[12:02] <gnomefreak> bionoid: i dont see a quetions there
[12:02] <david> i like ubuntu though, and ive read that some people actually get better performance when using wine
[12:02] <gnomefreak> Spliffster: no there is a linux build
[12:02] <bionoid> gnomefreak: The question was whether or not anyone else has experienced this on the 945GM chipset, and/or if there is some non-default driver that might help
[12:02] <Parmenion> afternoon chaps
[12:02] <crdlb> Spliffster, it uses qt, picasa on the other hand is winelib
[12:02] <|johnybot|> Parmenion: afternoon?
[12:02] <|johnybot|> Parmenion: its 3am!
[12:03] <david> either way, which would be the better drivers to use? the in built drivers or the ones from nvidia site?
[12:03] <Parmenion> or early evening =)
[12:03] <crdlb> david, neither
[12:03] <Parmenion> time differences XD
[12:03] <|johnybot|> Parmenion: haha
[12:03] <gnomefreak> bionoid: you have the 3d driver installed and working properly?
[12:03] <Spliffster> crdlb: oh that wwas picasa, right
[12:03] <mc44> david: as I said, use the drivers by activating the restricted driver manager
[12:03] <crdlb> david, system>administration>restricted drivers manager: check that
[12:03] <ewanm89> Parmenion: irc is international, g'day works better, or hello.
[12:03] <david> yeah i did what the site said, i think i need to reinstall
[12:03] <mcmunt> Anyone know of a plugin to remember track play location in rhythmbox?
[12:04] <|johnybot|> bonjour allo n'tag conichiwa
[12:04] <bionoid> gnomefreak: As far as I know, yes. Beryl runs very smoothly - don't really have any other 3d program to test except for Google Earth
[12:04] <david> but once thats done, would they be the better ones to use?
[12:04] <gnomefreak> bionoid: google earth is not a good test. we dont support google earth and it is slow on any pc with any video card some slower than others
[12:05] <Defient> I love Ubuntu
[12:05] <ewanm89> bionoid: Try nexuiz.
[12:05] <|johnybot|> Defient: ill write that in my diary
[12:05] <mc44> david: yes! they are easier to install, they are packaged correctly for ubuntu and they won't break when the kernel is updated
[12:05] <Parmenion> ewanm89, true, the habit is ingrained too deeply into me :P
[12:05] <Defient> Nexuiz is eats up plenty of cpu power
[12:05] <bionoid> gnomefreak: Hm yeah I know it's not terribly fast - but on the same hardware on Windows it runs very smooth (at least in comparison) hence my driver question
[12:06] <bionoid> ewanm89: Ok will do
[12:06] <gnomefreak> bionoid: and shut beryl down before running another 3d app. game/google earth/so on
[12:06] <david> kk lol thanks, im gonna go reinstall =)
[12:06] <bionoid> gnomefreak: Yeah tried that, not any smoother in metacity
[12:06] <david> thanks for the help
[12:06] <david> no doubt ill be back later cause i broke something lol
[12:06] <Spliffster> bionoid: what 3d car do you have, which drivers are you using ?
[12:06] <Spliffster> *card
[12:06] <gnomefreak> Spliffster: intel card
[12:06] <bionoid> Spliffster: Intel 945GM with the i810 driver
[12:06] <Defient> go get Nvidia
[12:06] <Spliffster> ah
[12:07] <Defient> =)
[12:07] <ewanm89> Defient: I chose the most resource intensive oss game
[12:07] <yobrien> been using a running instance or firefox for 6 days ... its up to 75.4 mb resident memory .... a freshly started instance is 26 mb ...... guess i should finally close it
[12:07] <recoy^> hello
[12:07] <|johnybot|> yobrien: is that in linux?
[12:07] <|johnybot|> recoy^: allo
[12:07] <ewanm89> Oy, at least intel drivers are opensource software.
[12:07] <yobrien> |johnybot|: yeah
[12:07] <mc44> yobrien: pah, I don't close mine until I get up to 2-300 :)
[12:08] <bionoid> ewanm89: what's nexuiz?  140mb! hehe
[12:08] <Spliffster> i815M/915m/945m are very low end 3d cards. don't expect much of the card and expect even less fro mthe drivers (ATM) i have a 915 in this laptop (the odler brother of the 945) and its just about enough to be used with beryl ... not much more. i suspect crappy drivers
[12:08] <|johnybot|> bionoid: it is a FPS
[12:08] <|johnybot|> first person shooter
[12:08] <ramorek> spliffster : it wont work
[12:08] <ramorek> spliffster : can i use vnc viewer 4 ?
[12:08] <Spliffster> bionoid: you may want to use the properity linux drivers fro mintel ... they have soem edvantage
[12:08] <bolt> Anyone familiar with atftpd who can tell me what the heck is going on here? No clients recieve files, they're just timing out immediately. This is the server log: http://pastebin.ca/539728
[12:08] <linux_user400354> hello. im using the instructions here to setup internet connection sharing using firestarter. http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php i am able to ping and vnc and ssh between the computers now but the other computer still cant access the internet. i even tried echo "1" >  /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward on the computer that is sharing the connection and it didnt help. any ideas?
[12:08] <bolt> it's my first attempt at network booting, btw. i've got the two computers (server/client) connected to a switch, along with a third machine acting as a dhcp server, telling the client about the server
[12:08] <recoy^> anyone know how to get flash to work for the drapper amd64
[12:08] <tarzeau> bionoid: tried www.sauerbraten.org yet?
[12:08] <recoy^> for firefox
[12:09] <Spliffster> ramorek: what won't work? and what do you see ... what error message ?
[12:09] <|johnybot|> i gotta go pass out
[12:09] <yobrien> mc44: at least it hasnt crashed .... its run longer than i thought....
[12:09] <Spliffster> ramorek: AFAIk you can use any recent vncviewer such as vncviewer, relavnc or tightvnc
[12:09] <bionoid> Spliffster: Yeah I know it's low-end, but it still is smooth in Windows on the exact same hardware. So I'm still blaming some piece of software ;-)
[12:09] <bionoid> tarzeau: No, will have a look
[12:09] <mc44> yobrien: not been using flash then? :)
[12:09] <tarzeau> bionoid: there's also packages for it
[12:09] <yobrien> mc44: flashblock is my friend :)
[12:10] <Spliffster> bionoid: READ drivers. have me say it once more ?
[12:10] <yobrien> plus greasemonkey helps for flash videos
[12:10] <ewanm89> !drivers
[12:10] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about drivers - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:11] <ramorek> spliffster : when i use the local ip i can get in... but i see everything extremely slow
[12:11] <_hassan_> hi everybody, while discussing with a colleague about the MS Xandros deal, he said he heard that Ubuntu (canonical?) is also talking to MS, is there any truth in what he says?
[12:11] <Spliffster> bionoid: to your rleave ... intel will open up their driver development for linux. whil this is nice, it will take soem time to get decent opensource-ish drivers
[12:11] <hwolff> hi
[12:11] <aziz> Bonjour All
[12:12] <ewanm89> Hi
[12:12] <crdlb> ewanm89, /what/ proprietary intel drivers?
[12:12] <Spliffster> ramorek: this is probably because you are creating a loop back. your local vncviewer is exported again and again and again .. try fro manother computer or another account
[12:12] <aziz> hello All
[12:12] <zaggynl> Anyone knows how I can stop xmms from going to the next 'track' when the current one fails for whatever reason?
[12:12] <ewanm89>  Spliffster bionoid: you may want to use the properity linux drivers
[12:12] <ewanm89>                      fro mintel ... they have soem edvantage
[12:12] <nicker> My ubuntu doesn't load in my second hard drive, help anyone?
[12:12] <KomiaPoika> hi
[12:13] <crdlb> ewanm89, there are no proprietary intel drivers
[12:13] <Spliffster> ewanm89: no thinks, been there doen that. i am fine with the oss drivers. works here like a charm. bionoid seems to have problems tho
[12:13] <bionoid> ewanm89: just ignore him, he doesn't actually read, he just writes
[12:13] <_hassan_> crdlb: is the ipw3945 opensource?
[12:13] <linux_user400354> recoy^ yes, i found a really good guide that doesnt require installing a 32 bit firefox
[12:13] <crdlb> _hassan_, video drivers I mean
[12:13] <_hassan_> crdlb: i see
[12:13] <ewanm89> bionoid: I decided that.
[12:13] <aMMuNix> ewanm89, is it done?
[12:14] <ewanm89> aMMuNix: Doing hardware detection now.
[12:14] <aMMuNix> k
[12:14] <ramorek> spliffster : ok im out for tonight, later and thanks !!!!
[12:14] <bionoid> Anyway, AFK thanks for your input people
[12:14] <ewanm89> Bye
[12:14] <ramorek> all : peace !
[12:14] <Spliffster> ewanm89: i just suggested the linux drivers to bionoid a few lines before you. bionoid doesn't read, he just writes ;)
[12:14] <KomiaPoika> i try to connect sony dsc-h2 camera, let it declare as memory stick but it donet work. error is: Jun  5 12:14:35 OSN00241 kernel: [42964874.630000]  usb 5-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 10  but then nothing happens
[12:14] <ramorek> all : thnx for the help
[12:15] <ewanm89> Your bickering like old grannies now.
[12:15] <gnomefreak> Spliffster and bionoid can you guys please stop bikering
[12:15] <ewanm89> s/Your/You're/
[12:15] <Spliffster> well i didn't start ;)
[12:16] <Spliffster> well i didn't start ;)
[12:16] <gnomefreak> Spliffster: i didnt ask who started it
[12:16] <linux_user400354> recoy^ are you there?
[12:16] <ewanm89> aMMuNix: 15 restarts later.
[12:16] <Spliffster> i ma just here to help. i can't if peopl a) canot ask and b) resuse to read :) so long.... i am not payed for this
[12:17] <aMMuNix> ewanm89, what? :P
[12:17] <leohartx> is anybody here know the deferent between ubuntu & Fedora ?
[12:17] <gnomefreak> leohartx: yes everything for the most part
[12:18] <leohartx> which one is more popular
[12:18] <ewanm89> aMMuNix: I hate the number of times win98se restarts on install.
[12:18] <aMMuNix> ah lol
[12:18] <gnomefreak> leohartx: dont know, we dont support fedora here. try asking in #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:18] <Spliffster> leohartx: ubuntu is more desktop centric, fedora more company friendly
[12:18] <Frogzoo> leohartx: they're just different distros - the packages are put together from 2 different groups of people, using different packaging tools - apt vs rpm
[12:18] <leohartx> gnomefreak:can you tell me ?
[12:19] <bolt> Anyone familiar with atftpd who can tell me what the heck is going on here? No clients recieve files, they're just timing out immediately. This is the server log: http://pastebin.ca/539728
[12:19] <bolt> it's my first attempt at network booting, btw. i've got the two computers (server/client) connected to a switch, along with a third machine acting as a dhcp server, telling the client about the server
[12:19] <mc44> leohartx: ubuntu is better! fact.
[12:19] <mc44> (facts may not be true)
[12:19] <leohartx> really ?
[12:19] <gnomefreak> mc44: you know better than that
[12:19] <leohartx> oh
[12:19] <gnomefreak> leohartx: join #ubuntu-offtopic and ask
[12:19] <leohartx> ok
[12:19] <mc44> gnomefreak: hey, I added a disclaimer  :)
[12:20] <Spliffster> ;)
[12:20] <Frogzoo> bolt: firstly, the dir must be mode 777 & same for files
[12:20] <Spliffster> mc44: altough funny it may confuse new users
[12:20] <Defient> oh snaps!
[12:21] <Frogzoo> bolt: best way to test is 'atftp localhost' & see if you can get/put files
[12:21] <leohartx> Frogzoo: what is mode 777 mean ?
[12:22] <Frogzoo> leohartx: rwxrwxrwx
[12:22] <leohartx> Frogzoo: ?
[12:22] <linux_user400354> leohartx: i means read write and execute is allowed for the owner, the group, and all others
[12:22] <Spliffster> Frogzoo: man chmod
[12:22] <gnomefreak> Spliffster: he is correct
[12:23] <ewanm89> aMMuNix: Go into the display settings, and click advanced.
[12:23] <aMMuNix> ok
[12:23] <unixpaul> Hello
[12:23] <unixpaul> is there an apache 2.2 backport for dapper?
[12:23] <gnomefreak> no
[12:23] <unixpaul> I had a look but couldn't find one

[12:24] <leohartx> is anybody here know how to get system's IP ?
[12:24] <gnomefreak> leohartx: ipconfig
[12:24] <Spliffster> unixpaul: you are doomed to use pre forking ... muwhahahah .. j/k
[12:24] <mc44> gnomefreak: eww, thats a windows tool :)
[12:24] <leohartx> and anothers way ?
[12:24] <gnomefreak> oops
[12:24] <gnomefreak> ifconfig
[12:24] <unixpaul> preforking ok
[12:24] <ewanm89> aMMuNix: Then you should be able to set custom resolution.
[12:25] <aMMuNix> from where?
[12:25] <gnomefreak> leohartx: are you running ubuntu?
[12:25] <leohartx> i used to
[12:25] <clarkey> hi I have a problem with Open office 2,2 running on feisty simply it doesnt spell check when I start a spell check it says there are no spelling mistakes and closes again. I see the problem which is in the spell check window below there is no dictionary selected but I cant get to it as it is always below a popup. any help much appreciated
[12:25] <leohartx> but i have prob with my graphic card
[12:26] <gnomefreak> leohartx: if you are not here for support with ubuntu please join #ubuntu-offtopic and ask your questions
[12:26] <aMMuNix> ewanm89, from where?
[12:26] <jonty> hi having fun getting my lexmark x2350 working: have followed advice from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=49714. driver has installed nicely but does not cause anything to happen when a test page is printed. Anyone got any advice?
[12:27] <ewanm89> aMMuNix: In the display settings.
[12:27] <violetsnow> Should I expect screen redraw issues with 8mb of video ram.I am running on an iBook G3 500- dual USB
[12:27] <aMMuNix> ewanm89, where? right click properties > settings?
[12:28] <aMMuNix> the resolution I want isn't there, I need a wide (16:10) resolution
[12:29] <Defient> modify xorg
[12:29] <aMMuNix> I'm on a VM of windows
[12:30] <violetsnow> Any one have experence running ubuntu on an ibook?
[12:30] <Spliffster> aMMuNix: if your feisty desktop runs in a vmware vm, then install vmware toosl, the'll adjust the screen automaticly trough their vid driver
[12:30] <bolt> Frogzoo: yay!
[12:31] <aMMuNix> the other way around Spliffster
[12:31] <aMMuNix> fiesty is the host
[12:31] <ewanm89> aMMuNix: Yeah, unfortunatly no widescreen resolution, click view autofit guest.
[12:31] <aMMuNix> no possible way ewanm89?
[12:32] <Frogzoo> bolt: kewl
[12:32] <Spliffster> aMMuNix: oh, then install vmware tols in the windows guest, it will automaticly adjus the windows screen size to your vm window size
[12:32] <aMMuNix> woot, I tought fit guest to window will stretch!
[12:33] <Spliffster> aMMuNix: there should be another option (assuming you have arecent vmware version)
[12:33] <aMMuNix> I think I do
[12:33] <britt> in feisty, how can I disable tapping on my synaptics touchpad? Simply anabling SHMConfig in xorg.conf doesnt seem to work
[12:33] <Spliffster> aMMuNix: i am sure it works that way, doing it here. but you _must install_ vmware tools in the guest
[12:34] <aMMuNix> what works that way?
[12:34] <ewanm89> Spliffster: He has vmware tools installed.
[12:34] <Spliffster> ok
[12:34] <ewanm89> Spliffster: I'm having same problem.
[12:35] <frolle> I am having some troubles with beryl. When i minimize my windows, its kinda laggy, any ideas?
[12:35] <Spliffster> aMMuNix: do you want to adjust the local xservers resolution or the resolution of a guest os ?
[12:35] <gnomefreak> frolle: try asking in #ubuntu-effects
[12:35] <aMMuNix> resolution of the guest os
[12:35] <ewanm89> aMMuNix: Ust fit guest to window, and quick switch mode.
[12:35] <aMMuNix> k
[12:36] <aMMuNix> good enough, thanks
[12:36] <Spliffster> aMMuNix: are you running vmware server 1.0.2 and have vmware tools installed (and running) in your windows guest?
[12:36] <aMMuNix> 1.0.3
[12:36] <aMMuNix> and I have vmware tools installed on guest
[12:37] <ewanm89> Spliffster: Yes, he has else he wouldn't be able to do as I just said.
[12:37] <aMMuNix> and running..
[12:37] <aMMuNix> yes, fit guest to window works
[12:37] <linux_user400354> woo!!!!!!!!!!! finally got internet connection sharing working in ubuntu!!!
[12:37] <ewanm89> I can't get it fullscreen yet.
[12:37] <Spliffster> aMMuNix: if you then select "autofit guest" in View (vmware console) windows screensize should be adjusted to the guest's windows size. if not, it's a bug or misconfiguration.
[12:38] <jonty> clarkey: have you set the default language in open office? (tools - options - language settings - languages)
[12:38] <aMMuNix> maybe I can stetch the window, to the wanted resolution, then get fullscreen mode
[12:38] <Spliffster> ewanm89: ok ty for info
[12:39] <jin> hi
[12:39] <Spliffster> ewanm89: is your guest a console client or a gui client ?
[12:39] <jin> how do you convert rmvb to avi on Ubuntu?
[12:39] <ewanm89> Spliffster: GUI, win98se
[12:40] <clarkey> jony: yes I have it is set as English (Australian)
[12:40] <aMMuNix> ewanm89 and Spliffster, I had guest autofit enabled, stretched it to the exact resolution I wanted, disabled autofit, fullscreen'd and voila :D
[12:40] <Spliffster> ewanm89: i have tested this feature with xp and 2K, have you checked if vmware tools support w98 propperly? AFAIK eighter w95 or 298 needed a restart at any resolution change
[12:41] <flipendo> hi
[12:41] <Spliffster> aMMuNix: "auto fit window" is off here "autofit guest" is on.
[12:42] <tarzeau> jin: with mencoder?
[12:42] <aMMuNix> problem solved Spliffster, I just wrote what I did in order to achieve that ;-)
[12:42] <Spliffster> cool!
[12:42] <jin> tarzeau, yea, just found it
[12:42] <aMMuNix> pretty lame solution, but I'm fine :)
[12:42] <jin> but it is hard to work with it wihtout a GUI
[12:43] <aMMuNix> anyway, thanks for the help ewanm89 and Spliffster, I have to go now, bye :)
[12:43] <Spliffster> it's really cool that vmware server is not in the feisty repos ... so i dont have to recompile the vmware kernel modules every time a security patched kernel is released :)
[12:43] <Spliffster> cu aMMuNix
[12:43] <clarkey> Jonty: Fixed I think I musn't have had the language installed changed to us english and it works
[12:43] <Thumann> hey, i'm trying to move my debian users to a new ubuntu box, but my ubntu doesn't use a shadoww file?
[12:43] <Spliffster> s/not/now/
[12:43] <jonty> clarkey: ok what are the settings in language settings - writing aids? are the spell checker, user dics and options checked?
[12:43] <ewanm89> Spliffster: Mine is good enough, I just have a border top and bottom.
[12:44] <billy> hello folks is there an application for creating slide shows ? thanks :)
[12:44] <Spliffster> billy: gave OpenOffice a go ?
[12:44] <gnomefreak> billy: openoffice impress
[12:45] <billy> thanks Spliffster and gnomefreak :)
[12:45] <Zubbb> hello, with nautilus, I make a link to a directory, then I open that link, now, when I click on the UP icon, it opens not the parent directory of the link target, but the parent directory of the link, is it possible to disable that?
[12:45] <Luxurious> Hi guys.
[12:47] <jonty> clarkey: ok - have fun!
[12:47] <burepe> how do I boot ubuntu in verbose mode? I am at the grub menu.
[12:47] <Luxurious> I have some installation instructions for Redhat Enterprise Linux, and I'm trying to translate them into Ubuntuian.  Reckon anyone can help with that?
[12:48] <clarkey> Jonty: thanks 4 ur help
[12:48] <gnomefreak> burepe: take the word splash and quiet out of the boot options should give you a full black screen with the info on it (that is most verbose as it gets
[12:48] <Zubbb> burepe, look for "quiet" and remove it
[12:48] <Luxurious> Ah, come to think of it, don't sweat it.
[12:48] <preaction> Luxurious: might be faster to start from scratch, the two package managers and philosophies are quite different
[12:49] <asdf5> Is it possible to force ubuntu to detect the harddrive as an IDE disk or is only SCSI possible if SCSI is detected?
[12:50] <burepe> gnomefreak Zubb my system is totally messed after upgrade. Is there anyway to do it without booting up? because I can't boot up. That is what I am trying to figure out.
[12:51] <preaction> asdf5: i don't understand the question. if it's scsi, the drive is /dev/sd??, if it's ide, the drive is /dev/hd??.
[12:52] <Spliffster> Luxurious: as preaction said, installation instructions differ very much between fedora/redhat based distros and debian based distros. the basic steps may be the same (boot manager, paritioning, locale settings) but the package management is where the difference is felt the most. debian/ubuntu uses deb instead of rpm. a very robus solution. i have been forced to used redhat for years by my employer. i can tell you from experience
[12:52] <Phylo> How do I restart my network connections without restarting Ubuntu?
[12:52] <simone_> are there bugs in ubuntu 7.04 and 7.10 with asus m2npv mobo?
[12:52] <preaction> Phylo: sudo invoke-rc.d networking restart
[12:52] <usr_rob_> --alt preset standard string don't work in grip, any suggestions ?
[12:52] <predaeus> burepe, hit "e" or what it is called (it tells you in the grub menu) to edit the current entry then edit it (keys are told there) just remove the splash and quiet words from the kernel options line. it won't be stored though only for that boot.
[12:52] <Luxurious> Spliffster, preaction: Thanks a lot, I'll reinstall with Red Hat EL
[12:52] <burepe> phylo sudo eth0 down
[12:52] <burepe> then do up after
[12:52] <burepe> phylo sudo eth0 up
[12:52] <asdf5> preaction: exactly. My disks are SCSi /dev/sdXX but i'd like to have them as IDE. Is it possible to change (is it a setting, a program) or is it fixed as SCSI (it is defined by hardware)
[12:53] <tororm> hi guys, just installed ubuntu 7.04 and am trying to make my screen resolution to anything higher than 800x 600, my video card is: a geforce6100, inbuilt, and i am using an  samsung syncmaster 151s monitor that has previously been used for 1024 768, can anybody help?
[12:53] <burepe> predaeus thanks
[12:53] <gnomefreak> !fixres | tororm
[12:53] <ubotu> tororm: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[12:53] <preaction> asdf5: you're talking about hardware. hardware is. why do you need scsi to pretend to be ide?
[12:54] <tororm> thanks!
[12:54] <Spliffster> asf
[12:55] <asdf5> preaction: hardware, ok. I would like IDE because i have vmware and would like to be able to dual boot. To run a partition in vmware as "raw disk" the disk must be IDE
[12:55] <Phylo> it said invoke command not found
[12:55] <Phylo> @preaction
[12:55] <Phylo> and burepe:  I'm not sure eth0 is my connection
[12:55] <preaction> Phylo: that's all it said? the command is "invoke-rc.d", not just "invoke"
[12:56] <Spliffster> asdf5: there used to be ide emultion for scsi .... IIRC it was in pre 2.x kernels and was maily used for cd-rom drives. why would you want to bend a scsi interface to an ide interface? after all it's just a driver fro a subsystem and by that, probably more efficiant than some hacked over compatibility layer
[12:56] <Phylo> "sudo:  invoke:  command not found"
[12:56] <Phylo> oh
[12:56] <Phylo> I forgot the -
[12:56] <burepe> phylo  how are you connected?
[12:56] <jin> ogm are video files right?
[12:56] <burepe> phylo do ifconfig
[12:56] <burepe> and that should tell you
[12:56] <preaction> Phylo: otherwise you could, instead of using invoke-rc.d, use "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart"
[12:56] <Phylo> burepe:  it might be eth0, I just remember looking through my connection stuff before when someone was helping me and there was eth0 and ath0 (I think)
[12:57] <Phylo> preaction:  aha, that's what I was told last time
[12:57] <predaeus> jin, run file on the file to get it's type. ending can be arbitrary. "file filename.ogm"
[12:57] <Phylo> preaction:  (sudo /etc/init.d/...)
[12:57] <Phylo> thanks guys
[12:58] <asdf5> Spliffster: I would like IDE because i have vmware and would like to be able to dual boot. To run a partition in vmware as "raw disk" the disk must be IDE
[12:58] <Spliffster> asdf5: umm, i see, makes sense
[12:58] <usr_rob_> anyone who knows the right string to put in grip config ? (--alt-preset standard will not work)
[12:59] <asdf5> Spliffster: :-) thanks. I'm glad it makes sense - english is hard when you aren't used to writing it :-)
[12:59] <asdf5> Splifster: I guess it'll be easier to just do it some other way
[01:00] <asdf5> Bye all
[01:00] <Spliffster> asdf5 vmware server 1.02 supports raw scasi disks
[01:00] <Spliffster> oh ... he's gone. pitty

[01:02] <backblue> hi, why perl modules, are so old? :) anyone tells me?
[01:02] <see> hello, i have installed vmware server on a ubuntu 64bit mac pro, but i cant boot any virtual machines i create, anybody else has this problem?
[01:02] <slav1> hi, is anyone able to help me with a small problem i'm having?
[01:02] <Spliffster> backblue: dunno, it's not recommended but you can use cpan to upgrade them
[01:03] <Gnea> !ask | slav1
[01:03] <ubotu> slav1: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:03] <cidwel> i have a question, when i try to install beryl using the wizard in feisty, everytime that i reboot the xorg system crashes and  i have to reinstall the nvidia drivers in order to relaunch xorg
[01:03] <backblue> Spliffster: yes, i know.
[01:03] <Spliffster> backblue: it must have to do with dependencies in the package system.
[01:04] <slav1> I just installed ubuntu from the Live CD, and when I went to reboot, I took the disc out, but the boot menu didn't appear, so i had to boot again with the CD in,which means to me ubuntu isn't installed properly for some reason
[01:04] <cidwel> anyone knows how to fix it? >_>
[01:06] <slav1> so yeah, i'm willing to reinstall, but now the space i freed up for ubuntu on my hard drive isn't empty anymore, and i'm not sure about the options for installing
[01:06] <slav1> should i just format the partition?
[01:06] <Tom47> cidwel you may get more joy in #ubuntu-effects
[01:06] <Gnea> slav1: just use the same space again and reformat it, and make sure that grub writes to the MBR of the disk
[01:06] <Spliffster> slav1: if you do not have to worry about the data, reformatting is the best way
[01:07] <slav1> if i choose to format a partition on my HDD, the rest of the data on the other partitions will be fine, right?
[01:07] <Spliffster> yep
[01:07] <slav1> ok
[01:07] <Spliffster> as long as it isnt a PEBCAK problem
[01:08] <slav1> im a bit jumpy with installing OSes ever since i forgot to backup 30GB of music
[01:08] <Spliffster> Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard
[01:08] <slav1> haha
[01:08] <slav1> well, to be honest, i've only ever used windows
[01:08] <slav1> and im dual-booting ubuntu with vista
[01:09] <Spliffster> slav1: this should work fine, as long as grub is installed into the MBR of the first disk. grub can then boot vista or ubuntu
[01:09] <slav1> yeah, ive read about that
[01:09] <Gnea> slav1: oh, you only lost 30g? that's not bad.
[01:09] <Spliffster> heheh
[01:09] <Gnea> :)
[01:09] <Declan> hey people I'm wondering if someone could give me a hand. I set up a previous ubuntu but i had a keyboard AND mouse problem and I was wondering will this new release, 7.04, be any different? :S
[01:09] <Gnea> total HD failure
[01:09] <slav1> wow
[01:09] <slav1> thats horrible
[01:09] <Spliffster> slav1: by the way, make backups .... sorry couldn't resist
[01:10] <Gnea> everything was gone. e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g.
[01:10] <slav1> i felt terrible when i lost 30GB, i cant imagine what losing 80GB felt like
[01:10] <Gnea> i had perhaps 4g of it backed up
[01:10] <Declan> wow thats pretty gay
[01:10] <DarkED> have a little issue here:  cedega: Depends: xlibs (> 4.1.0) but it is not installable
[01:10] <Gnea> probably not as bad as losing 1TB :)
[01:10] <slav1> haha, the funny thing is i made a check-list of everything i needed to back-up, and i calculated how many dvds i needed
[01:10] <burepe> Declan, other people might say different, but I messed my system up upgrading. It has been out for weeks. I wouldn't do it yet
[01:10] <slav1> and then when i was done, i was like, "hmm, i wonder why i have 9 spare DVDs..."
[01:11] <slav1> famous last words
[01:11] <DarkED> i try to install xlibs but it's not installable, also these packages replace it:  libxft1 xkb-data
[01:11] <Gnea> Declan: there's a place for that comment.
[01:11] <DarkED> what do i do?
[01:11] <Spliffster> hehe
[01:11] <slav1> so, back to my problem
[01:11] <slav1> im in the ubuntu installer
[01:11] <Gnea> slav1: that's awesome. well it's only music so it's not the end of the world. :)
[01:11] <Declan> i'v had SuSe for a wile but i miss pretty ubuntu
[01:11] <slav1> and ive selected the manual option
[01:12] <slav1> and ive found the partition i made for ubuntu
[01:12] <ubuntu-fan555555> why firestarter can"t  be launched in ubuntu?
[01:12] <slav1> and i checked the Format? box
[01:12] <Spliffster> ubuntu-fan555555: it can, but you must sudo firestarter
[01:12] <Declan> an now GRUB wont load cause I had to open recovery console and do chkdsk on my harddrive
[01:12] <Spliffster> ubuntu-fan555555: or are you referring to the firestaretr daemon
[01:12] <slav1> but when i go Forward, it tells me "No root file system defined"
[01:13] <varka> DarkED: dapper, edgy, feisty?
[01:13] <DarkED> varka: kubuntu 7.04 feisty
[01:13] <Gnea> Declan: that's weird, chkdsk should only modify the system registry, not the mbr
[01:13] <Spliffster> slav1: go back and select the linux partition. then edit the details, in path enter "/" withiut quotes
[01:13] <Declan> i no
[01:13] <Declan> but it refuses to load grub now
[01:14] <slav1> Spliffster: cheers,, that worked
[01:14] <BadRobot> hello pc saviors ,I'm trying to reinstall ubuntu,but now i'm having some problems with the boot It says @ the beggin of boot :  GRUB loading please wait... ERROR 15,so how could i fix ?Should reinstall GRUB?
[01:14] <Spliffster> Declan: it's documented in the ubuntu wiki how to restore grub. all you need is a boot disk (install live cd would do)
[01:14] <Gnea> welp, that's what you get for running a traitorous distro - j/k.  actually, you should be able to just boot the cd and restore it that way
[01:14] <steven43126> Anyone using mysql workbench in feisty, how did you install it i'm having a hard time finding a package of it for linux yet i see references to one in a few posts ?
[01:14] <Spliffster> slav1: also make sure to tick the format checkbox on the root partition
[01:14] <slav1> yeah, i did (Y)
[01:14] <BadRobot> thx
[01:15] <Spliffster> ok
[01:15] <BadRobot> that was fast
[01:15] <Declan> I suppose so but I was getting bored of OpenSuSe and thought i would try a fresh install of Ubuntu
[01:15] <slav1> so yeah, i dont have much experience with linux OSes
[01:15] <BadRobot> Is it Open SuSE that bad?
[01:15] <Tiradin> Can anyone help me set my linux machine up on a Windows/Mac network?
[01:15] <slav1> ive been using them in my computing course at university, and liked it
[01:16] <Gnea> BadRobot: it's SuSe, it's bad by default - great if you don't care what runs under the hood
[01:16] <slav1> learning C programming basics
[01:16] <BadRobot> I like Ubuntu really much but there are a few nice looking distros around
[01:16] <Spliffster> slav1: i am working for 15 easy with various unices every day, nor do i know much. there's so much to explore!
[01:16] <Frogzoo> Tiradin: samba for the windows env't - mac - does anyone still use netatalk?
[01:16] <Small_Mac> anyone could tellme what to do to modify grub menu so window loadds by default?
[01:16] <Spliffster> *years not easy
[01:16] <slav1> its a requirement for first year aerospace engineering students
[01:16] <Spliffster> lol
[01:16] <Tiradin> Frogzoo: As far as I know, the Mac just connects to the Windows network fine...
[01:16] <slav1> i just love the command interface
[01:16] <enriko> hi
[01:17] <Frogzoo> !samba | Tiradin
[01:17] <ubotu> Tiradin: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[01:17] <slav1> it really feels like you're using a computer
[01:17] <enriko> i have a problem with my ubuntu
[01:17] <Tiradin> Frogzoo: I'd assume if samba isn't already on my machine it's in apt-cache?
[01:17] <Spliffster> slav1: yea it "gots powers!"
[01:17] <Gnea> Small_Mac: edit menu.lst and make the windows selection on top of the linux selection, or just remove the word 'default' from all of the non-windows selections
[01:17] <Small_Mac> anyone could tellme what to do to modify grub menu so window loadds by default?
[01:17] <Small_Mac> o

[01:17] <Nemes> I'm finding this error message when I try to play the Matrix DVD with xine: "The source cannot be read. Maybe you don't have enough rights for this, or source does not contain data (e.g:not disc in drive). (Error reading NAV packet.)" Does anybody know what could be the reason?
[01:17] <Small_Mac> Gnea where is the menu.lst
[01:17] <BadRobot> My brother installed some distro called PCLinux OS 2007 that destroyed desktop pc
[01:17] <DarkED> varka: ok, will try
[01:17] <Gnea> Small_Mac: in /boot/grub/
[01:18] <Small_Mac> Gnea thx
[01:18] <slav1> i renamed xterm 'hack.exe' on my account at uni, and my tutor saw it and was like, "riiiiiight..."
[01:18] <BadRobot> Ubuntu rocks
[01:18] <slav1> but i love it
[01:18] <slav1> hack the mainframe
[01:18] <enriko> my user on ubuntu is in the sudoers list but is not able to administrate users anymore, or burn cds
[01:18] <Spliffster> slav1: hehe
[01:18] <enriko> and i dunno why
[01:18] <tarzeau> slav1: know nethack ?
[01:18] <[HU] gnanet> Hello, i have a dual monitor setup (15" and a 19" on one Nvidia FX5200), where i don't know how to specify the primary display. Anyone could help me?
[01:18] <slav1> heard of it
[01:18] <DarkED> varka: yes, that package is installing, along with many others
[01:18] <DarkED> varka: maybe we hit paydirt :)
[01:18] <Gnea> slav1: you do know that hacking doesn't involve changing something, but rather taking what's there and making it do something it wasn't originally intended to do, but in a positive fashion, right?
[01:19] <slav1> of course
[01:19] <steven43126> no mysql workbench users here ?
[01:19] <Gnea> oh ok good
[01:19] <varka> DarkED: as long as it solves your problem with cedega...
[01:19] <DarkED> varka: still wont install, it NEEDS xlibs apparently
[01:19] <Gnea> there's nothing worse than an ignorant brainwashed idiot who uses the word 'hack' like the media would use it
[01:19] <Spliffster> [HU] gnanet: i do not know your specific card. the first thing with nVidia is to get their properitary drivers. you get nice tools to use your hardware and configure x-windows
[01:19] <slav1> i just like to perpetuate the stereotype that all hackers are evil and use command prompts
[01:19] <slav1> :P
[01:19] <enriko> anyone can help?
[01:20] <Gnea> enriko: using what command?
[01:20] <[HU] gnanet> Spliffster: i have a binary driver, i configured TwinView, and one monitor is on DVI and the other on DBUS
[01:20] <varka> DarkED: there was a dummy xlibs .deb package for  dapper, but i haven't found any for feisty, at least thats what you should look after
[01:20] <enriko> the problem is that my user for some reason is not in the administrator list
[01:21] <DarkED> varka: ok, i'll try that... thanls
[01:21] <enriko> anymore
[01:21] <DarkED> thanks* even
[01:21] <varka> np
[01:21] <enriko> and i can't get it in
[01:21] <Spliffster> slav1: the term hacker is nowadays often mis interpreted. hackers are not evil. read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker
[01:21] <enriko> i tried just adding it to the sudo group
[01:21] <enriko> but still i get no administration privilege on the gnome
[01:21] <enriko> that means for example i can't burn cds
[01:21] <Spliffster> [HU] gnanet: you might better off asking in an nvidia forum, cause it's their driver, they know it.
[01:22] <enriko> :(
[01:22] <Declan> I know this question may be a bit off topic in a linux forum but is Vista much better than XP?

[01:22] <brainiac> vista sucks... my kollege got himself a dell with vista oem... we unpacked, set it up started and got 4 error messages... lol
[01:22] <Declan> brainiac: lol
[01:23] <Spliffster> Declan: i hear different stories. ppl on recent hardare with 64bit vistas prais it, others on older hardware and/or 32 bit vista hate it. it defenately burns a lot of ressources.
[01:23] <Small_Mac> Gnea could u look at: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24201/ and tell me what i should change? thx alot
[01:23] <hellvie> hey, how can i install ubuntu on usb pendrive?
[01:23] <simone_> I have the following problem: ubuntu live 6 does not boot with dma enabled. If i disable dma with options "nodma ide=nodma" works fine. Ubuntu 7.04 and 7.10 doesn't work. They give me "can't access tty....." and some other errors /dev/loop* and sqashfs related.
[01:23] <brainiac> which brings me to my question... can anyone tell me where i can get xwinwrap? it doesn't seem to be in the standard ubuntu sources and i want it to run a ss on the desktop background
[01:23] <Spliffster> Declan: on a side note, it was also reported o swallow little kittens alive, so it must be evil:-P
[01:24] <Gnea> brainiac: heh, sonic dla?
[01:24] <Declan> Spliffster: lmao
[01:24] <brainiac> sonic dla?
[01:24] <Gnea> with vista
[01:24] <Declan> Spliffster: I'l definitely stay away from it now
[01:24] <Gnea> brainiac: the DLA patch usually fixes those right up
[01:24] <slav1> hey, jsut another quick question. when ubuntu finally finishes installing and it reboots the computer, should i take the Live CD out?
[01:24] <backblue> what is the name of ubuntu devel channels?
[01:25] <brainiac> thx I#ll google that
[01:25] <Small_Mac> Gnea srry, but i put my grub menu.lst on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24201/, could u take a glimpse and tell me what i should change, thx
[01:25] <Gnea> Small_Mac: already looking at it, sorry
[01:25] <ziroday> who here is a genius with wifi and specifically the at76c503a drivers causing random kernel panics?
[01:25] <Declan> Spliffster: It looks so shiny even though I've heard it has immense driver incompatibility
[01:25] <Small_Mac> Gnea no, srry for bothering ya =)
[01:25] <brainiac> wait... is dla patch for MS? I'm running feisty with beryl
[01:25] <slav1> anyone?
[01:25] <Gnea> Small_Mac: what you want first? home or embedded?
[01:26] <Small_Mac> Gnea home, since i have no idea what embedded came from
[01:26] <Tom47> slav1 remove it
[01:26] <slav1> cheers
[01:26] <Gnea> brainiac: no i was referring to your friend's dell lol
[01:26] <slav1> i'm heading off now

[01:26] <slav1> you guys have been extremely helpful
[01:26] <slav1> thanks

[01:26] <Declan> slav1: all the best
[01:26] <Gnea> slav1: have fun
[01:26] <brainiac> oh I c... na... we iallready installed xp 64
[01:26] <Spliffster> Declan: it seems to me, that there is really no need for the latest and greates from redmond. they have stripped all innovative features from vista, so it's basicly an XP with a 3d desktop. and as i keep saying: never change a winning system. why upgrade t obeta test another 2 years? but ths is something fro #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:27] <Spliffster> good luck sladen
[01:27] <brainiac> can anyone tell me where I can get xwinwrap?
[01:27] <Spliffster> i mean slav1
[01:27] <Gnea> brainiac: haha, yeah, vista sucks
[01:27] <Declan> Spliffster: thanks man. much appreciated
[01:27] <Tiradin> Hm.... Samba's pretty self explanatory...

[01:30] <Gnea> Declan: works out of the box
[01:30] <Gnea> plug it in and go
[01:30] <clinton1> how can i send alt through vnc instead of it being used on my computer?
[01:31] <ZeroA4> Declan, it is. i use one. Your mouse is USB ?
[01:31] <PurpZeY> ziroday: What type of problems? Have you checked the forum?
[01:31] <Declan> ZeroA4: No it is PS/2
[01:31] <ZeroA4> Declan, Works too
[01:31] <Gnea> Declan: they still make those? was the mouse plugged in at the time of install?

[01:32] <Declan> ZeroA4: I am living proof they still make them :) Yes it was plugged in. I also had keyboard problems. It wasn't USB either. And it is a new computer
[01:32] <Gnea> bruno__: well yeah, you need to launch a dvd player program and tell it to actually play the dvd
[01:33] <PurpZeY> KorN[CM] : Did you make the recent kernel upgrade? if so, did his problem occur since then?
[01:33] <brainiac> Kor: U gut thenewest nvidia drivers installed
[01:33] <Declan> Gnea: I am living proof they still make them :) Yes it was plugged in. I also had keyboard problems. It wasn't USB either. And it is a new computer
[01:33] <KorN[CM] > I installed nvidia-glx
[01:33] <Small_Mac> Gnea do you happend to know how i could get rid of the 2.6.20-15 kernel and use the -16 one? not just taking it out of the grub menu
[01:33] <KorN[CM] > and also have tried nvidia-glx-new
[01:33] <Gnea> Declan: hehe, i still have some too
[01:33] <KorN[CM] > no kernel upgrade
[01:33] <PurpZeY> KorN[CM] : has it worked at all in the past?
[01:33] <Declan> Gnea: class :)

[01:34] <Small_Mac> Gnea k thx, is there benefit to keeping it?
[01:34] <Gnea> Small_Mac: not sure, last i knew they were having problems with -15 and -16
[01:34] <Declan> Gnea: I have a USB keyboard though and I'm tempted to bring it out cause I can use it with my XBox 360 too
[01:34] <KorN[CM] > it has, but broke when we installed nvidia-glx-new
[01:34] <Small_Mac> Gnea can i remove it with adept manager or synaptic? if so what's the name of the thing i'm uspposed to remove
[01:34] <Small_Mac> Gnea ic, is there a newer one like -17?
[01:34] <KorN[CM] > when I removed them, error states no driver
[01:34] <Gnea> Declan: i would make sure that cat /dev/psaux  gives you odd characters while moving the mouse around first
[01:34] <ZeroA4> Declan, Did you edit any config files ?
[01:34] <KorN[CM] > (removed nvidia-glx-new that is)
[01:35] <PurpZeY> KorN[CM] : Why not do a remove, of nvidia-glx-new... and also the nvidia-glx...and then reinstall the nvidia-glx?
[01:35] <brainiac> Korn: check your X11.conf
[01:35] <Gnea> Small_Mac: apt-get update && apt-cache search <base kernel package name>
[01:35] <bruno__> Gnea: but when i put the dvd in the player it makes a little noise
[01:35] <Declan> Gnea: I have no idea what you just said
[01:35] <clinton1> how can i send alt through vnc instead of it being used on my computer?
[01:35] <KorN[CM] > k im going to uninstall both now
[01:35] <Gnea> Declan: open a command prompt, type this:  cat /dev/psaux
[01:35] <Small_Mac> Gnea thx alot
[01:35] <Gnea> Declan: then move your ps/2 mouse around
[01:35] <PurpZeY> brainiac: I am being curious, not argumentative...what would he check in xorg?
[01:36] <Gnea> Declan: do you get garbled characters all over the terminal?
[01:36] <brainiac> I had to change a device property in LTS to Nv to make it work
[01:36] <Small_Mac> Gnea do i don't type <base keernel package name> word for word right, just insert whatever i'm looking to remove?
[01:37] <Declan> Gnea: It can't find it
[01:37] <KorN[CM] > how do I list packages (such as nvidia-glx) that are installed?
[01:37] <Gnea> Small_Mac: ok, if the base name is kernel-image-2.6.20-16, then you would type: apt-cache search kernel-image
[01:37] <iFries> I have a problem with Azureus in ubuntu. Should I ask here or at the azureus support? Anyway: I installed Azureus, and forwarded ports, but azureus gives a red dot with text: Firewalled. Anyone got a idea ? Thanx
[01:37] <Gnea> Declan: can't find what?
[01:37] <Small_Mac> Gnea k thx alot =)
[01:37] <PurpZeY> brainiac: Interesting...It's so bizarre...I mean, I guess it's just an issue of hardware...I did an install on my desktop, and my laptop, and I had basically no hardware issues at all...and basically no problems...My uptime on my desktop was 18 days untl about 5 minutes ago when I did a reboot for an update.
[01:37] <iFries> Forgot to say: downloading works, uploading doesn't
[01:38] <Declan> Gnea: As in cmd says "cat: /dev/psaux: No such file or directory"
[01:38] <burepe> I got this problem after upgrade to fiesty. I can't figure out how to fix it. Any suggestions? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2785305#post2785305
[01:38] <KorN[CM] > how do I list packages (such as nvidia-glx) that are installed?
[01:38] <Gnea> Declan: then your system has no support for your ps/2 mouse
[01:38] <ubuntu-fan555555> how to install vtk in ubuntu?
[01:38] <soundray> KorN[CM] : dpkg -l nvidia*
[01:38] <Emess> hi, i tried to install feisty on a clean box and had so many errors i had to turn back to edgy, however i still have a problem with acpi and mounting on boot from the live cd, and when teh desktop finally loads it doesnt recognise any harddrives to install to
[01:38] <Gnea> Declan: or a module needs to be loaded
[01:38] <PurpZeY> KorN[CM] : You can check in synaptic.
[01:38] <Emess> error codes are "ACPI: Getting cpuindex for acpiid 0x2" and after swap is said to be ok "mount: function not implemented" any ideas?
[01:38] <rmxz> Hi guys.   I just bought one of those Dell laptops pre-installed with ubuntu and was wondering if this is a good place to ask questions about things like difficulty getting a microphone to do anything.
[01:38] <PurpZeY> soundray: dpkg -l will list all installed packages?
[01:39] <Gnea> rmxz: sure, what model # did you get?
[01:39] <soundray> PurpZeY: yes
[01:39] <ZeroA4> Gnea, but it isnt /dev/input/mice ? for USB and PS/2 ?
[01:39] <rmxz> The E1505N
[01:39] <PurpZeY> rmxz: It is not a good place, it is the best place, maybe save for the forums.
[01:39] <Gnea> ZeroA4: /dev/input/mice is USB, /dev/psaux is PS/2
[01:39] <brainiac> Now, can anyone tell me how to get a screensaver running on the desktop background? I read 100 threads and all point out to have xwinwrap installed but I can't find that naywhere...
[01:39] <KorN[CM] > cant check synaptic, running in command line!
[01:39] <Declan> Gnea: No support? Then how come I am able to use it at this moment?
[01:39] <soundray> PurpZeY: plus available ones. You can use grep ^ii to filter
[01:40] <Gnea> rmxz: if you open a terminal window, do you get any result if you type: alsamixer?
[01:40] <soundray> KorN[CM] : dpkg -l nvidia* | grep ^ii
[01:40] <PurpZeY> KorN[CM] : dpkg -l nvidia* (@ soundray)
[01:40] <bruno__> Gnea: in vlc i click on file -> open a disk and after?
[01:40] <ZeroA4> Gnea, i think /dev/psaux is PS/2 only but /dev/input/mice is for both ps/2 and usb!
[01:40] <burepe> rmxz: just ask your question and wait and if someone knows the answer they will say. It can take time. You might find the ubuntu forums better depending...
[01:40] <Gnea> Declan: lol - when doesn't it work?
[01:40] <helpme> welcome to ubuntu chubs_
[01:40] <enriko> now both my ubuntus can't burn cds

[01:40] <enriko> on a laptop and on a desktop
[01:40] <burepe> rmxz your mic is not working? what is it doing?
[01:40] <Gnea> Declan: and what device is the mouse pointed to in /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[01:40] <rmxz> It shows Mic for Input So - but no graphic above it.
[01:40] <supermodified> hey everyone, its slav1
[01:40] <enriko> can't either mount cdroms
[01:40] <supermodified> im having problems

[01:41] <KorN[CM] > I can see the nvidia-glx-new when running dpkg -l but when running apt-get remove nvidia-glx-new it says its not installed

[01:41] <supermodified> when i reboot, in the BIOS it tries to boot from the DVD drive, and the it comes up with "Missing Operating System"
[01:41] <rmxz> my mic doesn't show up in the "Sound Recorder" menu thing.
[01:41] <Tom47> supermodified: welcome/ congratualtions
[01:41] <soundray> KorN[CM] : that's a strange package name
[01:41] <PurpZeY> KorN[CM] : Did you run it using the | grep ^^i modifier?
[01:41] <burepe> rmxz, I don't follow. Where does it say that?
[01:41] <PurpZeY> soundray: That occured to me too.
[01:41] <rmxz> any sound regularly?  Not from the microphone - it plays sound just fine.
[01:41] <helpme> hello chubs
[01:41] <helpme> chubs
[01:41] <helpme> talk here
[01:42] <helpme> ask your question here
[01:42] <Declan> and what do you mean "and what device is the mouse pointed to in /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?"
[01:42] <rmxz> burbe: perhaps I typed the wrong thing.
[01:42] <Gnea> rmxz: ok, in alsamixer, check the 'Mic', does it say MM above it?
[01:42] <soundray> KorN[CM] : can you do a 'dpkg --get-selections | grep nvidia-glx'
[01:42] <rmxz> Nope, no MM above 'Mic'
[01:42] <Gnea> rmxz: is the volume up?
[01:42] <no0b> There's something wrong with my internet.
[01:42] <soundray> Guys, do you know of a repository that has emacs22 for feisty?
[01:42] <burepe> rmxz I don't know off the top of my head and my system is down. Sorry I can't be of much help.
[01:43] <rmxz> Gnea: perhaps not - let me check if I can find the volume :)
[01:43] <no0b> It's fine here, but webpages are slow too load.
[01:43] <Gnea> rmxz: if you up-arrow, it should increase it - also check the Mic Boost
[01:43] <Gnea> rmxz: just select Mic and press the up arrow
[01:43] <KorN[CM] > nvidia-kernel-common (using grep ^ii)
[01:43] <soundray> no0b: consider disabling ipv6
[01:43] <rmxz> THANKS GUYS - Volume was 0
[01:43] <PurpZeY> KorN[CM] : I think you can leave that.
[01:43] <Gnea> have fun :)
[01:44] <rmxz> now "cat /dev/dsp | od -h " shows stuff which I assume means it works !!!
[01:44] <Frogzoo> soundray: I have a repo to emacs 23 ?
[01:44] <PurpZeY> KorN[CM] : This is not my area of expertise, although, I don't really have one...
[01:44] <rmxz> WOW!   This sure is better than Microsoft Support :)
[01:44] <chubs_> cant read ur msgs
[01:44] <ubuntu-fan555555> Is vtk-tcl instead of vtk in synaptic?
[01:44] <PurpZeY> KorN[CM] : I've never heard of the new nvidia-glx-new package.
[01:44] <Declan> rmxz: lol no kidding!
[01:44] <iFries> I have a problem with Azureus, it does download, but it won't upload. Azureus gives the notice: Firewalled, but I have forwarded the port I use. On windows it worked.. in ubuntu it doesn't. Anyone knows how to help? Thanks!
[01:44] <PurpZeY> rmxz: And friendlier...=)
[01:45] <Frogzoo> rmxz: ah - wait til you get the bill
[01:45] <soundray> Frogzoo: ooh, that's alpha, isn't it?
[01:45] <rmxz> burepe, Gnea - where do I send the paypal :)
[01:45] <rmxz> to pay the bill
[01:45] <Emess> no ideas?
[01:45] <Tom47> soundray http://peadrop.com/blog/2007/01/06/pretty-emacs/
[01:45] <Gnea> rofl
[01:45] <Emess> aha no sydney or Ayres rock?
[01:45] <KorN[CM] > 'dpkg --get-selections | grep nvidia-glx' - gives nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-new and both have deinstall next to them
[01:45] <PurpZeY> iFries: It's possible the firewall isn't at your router side, but in ubuntu...I've never really messed with the built in firewalls.
[01:45] <no0b> soundray: excuse me what is this ipv6 friend?
[01:45] <Gnea> rmxz: i'll let ya know when they stop giving me a paychek ;)
[01:46] <PurpZeY> rmxz: Mind if I ask you a question...What made you go with ubuntu on the new pc?
[01:46] <rmxz> PurpZeY - long long time Unix user who never worked in a Windows shop.
[01:46] <soundray> Tom47: super, thank you!
[01:46] <PurpZeY> rmxz: good deal.
[01:46] <preaction> iFries: did you configure the ubuntu firewall?
[01:46] <supermodified> i just finished installing ubuntu, and i rebooted and had the Live CD out, and in the BIOS it tries to boot from the DVD drive, and the it comes up with "Missing Operating System"
[01:46] <supermodified> any help?
[01:46] <soundray> !ipv6 > no0b, please read the private message from ubotu
[01:46] <rmxz> Had other linuxes before - but never one totally pre-installed - and in the past had IT help me set them up.
[01:47] <iFries> preaction: I didn't even know there was one ...
[01:47] <iFries> :$
[01:47] <preaction> !firewall | iFries
[01:47] <ubotu> iFries: 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).
[01:47] <Declan> Gnea: Did I mention I'm on Windows atm. The command "cat" on windows just replicates what I type
[01:47] <PurpZeY> supermodified: What kind of install? Is it partition?
[01:47] <mwe> supermodified: it sounds like grub didn't install correctly
[01:47] <burepe> rmxz: you can pay me back by getting good at ubuntu and then fixing my broken system :) (it will probably still be down till then)
[01:47] <supermodified> yeah, partition
[01:47] <KorN[CM] > the package nvidia-glx-new is in synaptic
[01:47] <clarkey> Hi everyone,
[01:47] <preaction> iFries: i'd suggest using Firestarter, it's rather simple
[01:47] <PurpZeY> supermodified: with what other os?
[01:47] <supermodified> i made a partition on my first HDD
[01:47] <KorN[CM] > we went into restricted repos
[01:47] <supermodified> vista
[01:59] <KorN[CM] > from this guide:
[01:59] <p99m> hi all.   have a question about changing the permission on an external firewire dvd-r/w drive from read only to read and write.   can anyone help - thanks
[01:59] <KorN[CM] > http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_setup_nvidia_drivers_in_7.04
[01:59] <PurpZeY> preaction: I think the problem is not that he wants a firewall, but that he is getting firewall errors and the ports are open on his router.
[01:59] <iFries> preaction: Ok, going to take a look at that. Thanks
[01:59] <preaction> iFries: by default, ubuntu ships with no unnecessary open ports (which is a Good Thing)
[01:59] <mwe> supermodified: did you choose to install grub on the MBR?
[01:59] <iFries> It is
[01:59] <supermodified> the MBR?
[01:59] <no0b> thank you. however my ISP is a rip off. theey said they would provide internet access too all internet members for the month of june, but the internet access is at 64kb/s? OLO!LO!LOLO!LO!LOLO!LO!LOOL!LOLO!LO!
[01:59] <Parmenion> master boot record
[01:59] <supermodified> no idea
[01:59] <no0b> free internet access because of inturuptions caused in may
[01:59] <burepe> p99m can you write click on a file in the hard drive and change the permissions via the gui?
[01:59] <soundray> no0b: keep this out of here, please.
[01:59] <Parmenion> supermodified, it installs to there by default
[01:59] <KorN[CM] 2> sorry not sure what happened there
[01:59] <PurpZeY> KorN[CM] : This guide doesn't say to use this package.
[01:59] <Frogzoo> soundray: http://debs.peadrop.com/dists/feisty/backports/
[01:59] <no0b> k :(
[01:59] <iFries> PurpZeY: yes, thats my problem :)
[01:59] <rmxz> Oh - while I'm at it - there was another annoyance with the pre-install Dell Ubuntu.
[01:59] <p99m> burepe no
[01:59] <no0b> x] 
[01:59] <supermodified> so what am i supposed to do about GRUB?
[01:59] <mwe> supermodified: you just let the installer do it's thing not doing any changes to the boot loader options?
[01:59] <PurpZeY> supermodified: What is the other operating system?
[01:59] <KorN[CM] 2> well I followed the guide
[01:59] <supermodified> vista
[01:59] <rmxz> On the Dell1505N After an apt-get update all the lines in my grub.conf that had (hd0,2) got changed to (hd0,0) - so it didn't want to boot.
[01:59] <rmxz> Until I booted from a live CD and changed it back.
[01:59] <KorN[CM] 2> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_setup_nvidia_drivers_in_7.04
[01:59] <p99m> burepe  it says permissions cannot be changed
[01:59] <mwe> !grub | supermodified try this:
[01:59] <ubotu> supermodified try this:: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[01:59] <rmxz> Anyone here in a position to tell Dell or Ubuntu or whomever should know that such an annoyance happened?
[01:59] <PurpZeY> rmxz: That's annoying as a preinstall.
[01:59] <PurpZeY> rmxz: I doubt it highly.
[01:59] <burepe> rmxz, was it an upgrade to fiesty?
[01:59] <mwe> supermodified: that explains how to reinstall grub. I'd try that.
[01:59] <supermodified> cheers
[01:59] <KorN[CM] 2> any ideas?
[01:59] <rmxz> nope - it had fiesty pre-installed.
[01:59] <KorN[CM] 2> how to remove all nvidia drivers and go back if possible?
[01:59] <rmxz> I did a (possibly bad) mix of playing with apt-get and their GUI thing at the same time.
[01:59] <burepe> p99m, sorry  I am not sure
[01:59] <rmxz> Hope that didn't confues it.
[01:59] <PurpZeY> preaction: You said there are no automatic open ports unnecessary, how do you open the ports up?
[01:59] <clarkey> Hi everybody I have a problem with the power management system. It used to work perfectly but I installed some update when it said there was updates available (something about linux kernel i think it was about a week ago) and now after previously recognising it power management no longer recognises that I have a battery it doesnt show the battery icon or power options when on battery anymore it is a mystery to me any help would
[01:59] <clarkey> be very apreciated thanks clarkey
[01:59] <PurpZeY> Korn[CM] 2: If you are actually running in graphical term
[01:59] <KorN[CM] 2> no
[01:59] <KorN[CM] 2> command line
[01:59] <PurpZeY> I'm sorry that's what I mean.
[01:59] <PurpZeY> t
[01:59] <burepe> rmxz actually that could be my problem too. Could you explain what was hd0 and what was 2
[01:59] <preaction> PurpZeY: it's not that he wants or doesn't want a firewall, the linux kernel has a built-in firewall. firestarter is merely a way to configure iptables (the kernel's routing/firewall system)
[01:59] <p99m> burepe this is driving me nuts.  no one seems to know how to change this.
[01:59] <KorN[CM] 2> doing this for a friend who's having troubles
[01:59] <PurpZeY> preaction: got it.
[01:59] <burepe> p99m is the drive empty?
[01:59] <soundray> p99m: what's the filesystem on your external disk?
[01:59] <rmxz> Well - when I went to grub under /dev/sda3 it had a menu.lst~ as well as a menu.lst
[01:59] <PurpZeY> Korn[cM] 2: Ok, so, I think, and I'm honestly not 100% on it...that you can safely remove all of the nvidia compoents from the command-line, and start again from the beginning following the guide, or sudo-apt get.
[01:59] <PurpZeY> sudo apt-get.
[01:59] <rmxz> and doing a "diff" gave me that clue.
[01:59] <p99m> burepe no it is not empty.  i have a data DVD in the drive and it mounts and is readable.    it is just that there is no permission to write to it.
[01:59] <mwe> preaction: by default there are no iptables rules, though.
[01:59] <KorN[CM] 2> how to remove all nvidia components from command-line?
[01:59] <hc_> smb?
[01:59] <hc_> ?? samba
[01:59] <hc_> samba?
[01:59] <PurpZeY> Korn[CM] 2: So you go ahead and dpkg -l nvidia* | ^^ii like before, and then remove those packages.
[01:59] <rmxz> diff "root (hd0,2)" was in the menu.lst~ and "root (hd0,0)" in the menu.lst
[01:59] <mwe> preaction: since nothing is listening there is no real need
[01:59] <Tom47> !samba
[01:59] <ubotu> samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[01:59] <PurpZeY> Korn[CM] 2: Then sudo apt-get install those packages.
[01:59] <p99m> burepe i can write to the disc fine with my windoze op system
[01:59] <iFries> preaction: I just installed Firestarter width the Add/Remove button in the Applications menu. Now how do I launch it? I can't find it anywere.
[01:59] <bs> hi all
[01:59] <KorN[CM] 2> it refuses to remove the packages
[01:59] <soundray> KorN[CM] 2: before you get yourself into more trouble -- can you restate for me what the problem is right now?
[01:59] <mwe> iFries: alt-f2, type gksudo firestarter.
[01:59] <hc_> Hm. How do I connect my Mac to a shared folder on Ubuntu?
[01:59] <bs> how can i install the kernel sources for my current kernel? i need to built a kernel module
[01:59] <KorN[CM] 2> package nvidia-glx-new is not installed, so not removed
[01:59] <PurpZeY> soundray: Thank you...; )
[01:59] <Parmenion> guys, how do i increase the frequency of the monitor?
[01:59] <nahi-> hello
[01:59] <mwe> hc_: have you configured a shared folder?
[01:59] <iFries> mwe: thanx
[01:59] <nahi-> i recently installed ubuntu and im having problem working my wireless
[01:59] <rmxz> burepe: ugh - my IRC thing scrolled so far I'm not sure I was answering what you asked...
[01:59] <Frogzoo> bs: sudo apt-get install kernel-source
[01:59] <nahi-> its there but it dosen't find anything
[01:59] <PurpZeY> nahi-: What card?
[01:59] <soundray> KorN[CM] 2: was that your reply to me?
[01:59] <Parmenion> its a laptop with the intel  Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller
[01:59] <KorN[CM] 2> ah to purpzey
[01:59] <PurpZeY> Korn[CM] 2: Work with soundray, he is more qualified I think.
[01:59] <hc_> mwe: yeah, I did it using System -> Administration -> Shared Folders
[01:59] <soundray> KorN[CM] 2: please use the nicknames
[01:59] <KorN[CM] 2> soundray, problem is as follows: kernel module 9755 x module 9631
[01:59] <nahi-> PurpZeY, Intersil corpotation Prism 2.5 wavelan chipset
[01:59] <Frogzoo> bs: just build-essential though is enough - you don't need the kernel source
[01:59] <nahi-> and this is the first time i use linux :$
[01:59] <burepe> rmxz. I saw something in my system that makes me think I am having the same problem you had can you explain it clearly for me?
[01:59] <KorN[CM] 2> sundray, this is for nvidia-glx-new and nvidia-glx (which seem to have me in trouble)
[01:59] <mwe> hc_: I think it works like a windows shared folder if I'm not mistaken. can a mac see windows shared folders by default?
[01:59] <burepe> mwe yes
[01:59] <soundray> KorN[CM] 2: just having a look at the guide you followed, sec
[01:59] <KorN[CM] 2> k
[01:59] <rmxz> burepe: I'll try.     After a few rounds with apt-get and Ubuntu's GUI equivalent I updated 50 packages that Dell pre-installed. One was apparently the kernel.
[01:59] <hc_> mwe: Dunno. I used samba on my Ubuntu-server, and my mac connects perfect to it.
[01:59] <burepe> rmxz, yeah I think that is my problem too
[01:59] <rmxz> burepe: After doing that - and after a reboot - I got the grub menu - but most choices gave some sort of error about not being able to mount the device.
[01:59] <mwe> hc_: oh well
[01:59] <mwe> hc_: in that case it can
[01:59] <nahi-> PurpZeY, can u help me please?
[01:59] <iFries> preaction: Think that the firewall IS the problem. I see a lot of connections on my azureus port being blocked
[01:59] <rmxz> burepe: I then booted from a live CD and mounted each of the partitions.
[01:59] <mark_> when will the next lts version be released?
[01:59] <mwe> hc_: did you make the folder a samba folder or nfs?
[01:59] <rmxz> burepe: looking for one with a directory called "grub"
[01:59] <PurpZeY> nahi-: I am looking to see if there are any known issues on the forum.
[01:59] <burepe> rmxz same for me so far
[01:59] <burepe> ok
[01:59] <nahi-> okay
[01:59] <mwe> hc_: I think the menu you refer to lets you choose
[01:59] <hc_> mwe: Yeah. So now I have to figure out how to connect. I get "wrong username or password" when I try to connect.
[01:59] <rmxz> burepe: within /dev/sda3 I found the grub directory - and saw it contained a "menu.lst" as well as a "menu.lst~"
[01:59] <mark_>  when will the next lts version be released?
[01:59] <hc_> mwe: smb. Tried with nfs as well.
[01:59] <Jake1443> does anyone know how to stop ubuntu caching thumbnails.  I want it to display thumbnails just not store them in the .thumbnail folder
[01:59] <rmxz> burepe: I did a "diff menu.lst menu.lst~" and saw a couple sets of differences.
[01:59] <mark_>  when will the next lts version be released?
[01:59] <mwe> hc_: hmm
[01:59] <nahi-> PurpZeY, when i click on the network in the tray i see the wireless but i say no wireless networks found
[01:59] <rmxz> burepe: one was the (expected) set of new lines for the new boot option for the new kernel.
[01:59] <supermodified> hey, is ubuntu.com not working for anyone else?
[01:59] <KorN[CM] 2> if I reinstall nvidia-glx drivers, problem is as follows: when trying to startx: Nvidia kerne module has the version 1.0-9755 but this x module has the version 1.0-9631
[01:59] <Frogzoo> Jake1443: remove write permission on the directory?
[01:59] <PurpZeY> nahi-: I understand, I see there might be some related issues.
[01:59] <rmxz> burepe: the other changes were that the old file had a bunch of lines that read "root (hd0,2)"
[01:59] <nahi-> okay:)
[01:59] <PurpZeY> supermodified: i was having a small problem with it.
[01:59] <hc_> supermodified: ubuntu.com works nice here.
[01:59] <rmxz> burepe: and in the same place the new one had "root (hd0,0)"
[01:59] <PurpZeY> nahi-: what model laptop?
[01:59] <graveson1> i am looking for a simple guide to mencoder/ffmpeg ( not sure which one is more easier) . basically the simplest way to convert from any format to any format
[02:00] <nahi-> hp companq nx9000
[02:00] <nahi-> PurpZeY,  hp companq nx9000
[02:00] <rmxz> burepe: I could paste my menu.lst if you want - but I forget how/where to paste stuff for IRC
[02:00] <Jake1443> ok
[02:00] <supermodified> ok, its working now
[02:00] <nahi-> rmxz,  www.nomorepasting.com
[02:00] <Jake1443> there must be another way
[02:00] <hc_> rmxz: http://pastebin.com is nice.
[02:00] <tru3_man> what create bootable floppy disk?
[02:00] <soundray> KorN[CM] 2: can you do a "apt-cache policy linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-16-generic" and tell me if it says "Installed:" and if so, what version
[02:01] <burepe> rmxz do it in this channel #kansailug
[02:01] <Jake1443> does anyone know how to stop ubuntu caching thumbnails.  I want it to display thumbnails just not store them in the .thumbnail folder
[02:01] <mwe> hc_: can you "connect" to the folder from the local host?
[02:02] <PurpZeY> nahi-: Just bear with me, I am reading a thread
[02:02] <nahi-> PurpZeY,  take your time :)
[02:03] <KorN[CM] 2> soundray: installed: 2.6.20.5-16.28 candidate -2.6.20.5-16.28 version:2.6.20.5-16.28 0

[02:03] <hc_> mwe: I find it, but it says it can1t view the content of the folder.
[02:04] <rmxz> burepe: OK - I'm on #kansailug now.
[02:04] <tru3_man>   ???
[02:04] <HET2> da
[02:04] <HET2> i am here
[02:04] <PurpZeY> nahi-: Ok, I think I can help you with this, I will just be giving you instructions from this forum thread, but it seems they should work...If you have trouble following me, we can make a separate chan, but it shouldn't be too bad...ready to go?
[02:04] <soundray> KorN[CM] 2: that's good. Now the same for "apt-cache policy nvidia-glx-new" please
[02:04] <nahi-> yes PurpZeY :)
[02:04] <HET2> now can someone tell me why the wlan driver i was using yesterday makes my machine crash today
[02:05] <nahi-> PurpZeY,  but u have to bear with me also im a newbei
[02:05] <PurpZeY> nahi-: no worries.
[02:05] <mwe> hc_: because of athorization issues?
[02:05] <KorN[CM] 2> soundray: there are two different versions (on the version table)
[02:06] <PurpZeY> nahi-: The scenario here is actually that there may be too many drivers in fiesty and they are fighting with each other so we are going to figure out what is there and what we want to get rid of.
[02:06] <hc_> mwe: dunno. Didn't say.
[02:06] <nahi-> PurpZeY,  okay:)
[02:06] <PurpZeY> nahi-: Do you know about paste bin?
[02:06] <nahi-> yes i work in tcl so i paste and get pastes alot
[02:06] <supermodified> ok, im trying to reinstall grub
[02:06] <soundray> KorN[CM] 2: what's on the line that says "Installed:..."
[02:06] <supermodified> and ive mounted the partition
[02:06] <mwe> hc_: the thing is linux accounts do not automatically work a samba accounts. I'm not sure if the gui thing is supposed to take care of that, though.
[02:07] <Jake1443> frogzoo i cant find it
[02:07] <PurpZeY> nahi-: Ok, so I'll give you 3 commands and you can pastebin the output to me ok?
[02:07] <PurpZeY> !pastebin
[02:07] <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)
[02:07] <nahi-> okay :)
[02:07] <Jake1443> i have gone to config editor
[02:07] <supermodified> and im supposed to use this command: grub-install--root-directory=/mnt/root/dev/hda
[02:07] <hc_> mwe: so how do I add a samba user?
[02:07] <KorN[CM] 2> soundray: 1.0.9755+2.6.20.5-16.28 0 and then under that there are two lines starting with 500 and 100, followed by a different version number 1.0.9755+2.6.20.5-15.20 0
[02:07] <supermodified> do i replace dev/hda with the location of the linux partition?
[02:07] <mwe> hc_: smbpasswd -a <youruser> then type your password when prompted
[02:07] <ubuntu-fan555555> Is vtk-tcl a replacement of vtk in synaptic or apt?
[02:08] <supermodified> in my case, /dev/sdb2
[02:08] <PurpZeY> nahi-: lsmod | grep orinco , lsmod | grep hostap , lsmod | grep prism2
[02:08] <Spliffster> supermodified: be carefull
[02:08] <supermodified> yes?
[02:08] <Spliffster> if you want grub to install into the MBR of the disk, use /dev/sdb
[02:08] <hc_> mwe: okey, works now. Thank you!
[02:08] <iFries> !azureus

[02:08] <soundray> KorN[CM] 2: okay, now I need the output of this please: "modinfo nvidia | grep vermagic"
[02:08] <supermodified> thats what i want, i guess
[02:09] <Spliffster> if you use /dev/sdb2 and this is a windows partition, windows ont boot, cause the mbr cannot boot ntldr
[02:09] <Jake1443> does anyone know how to stop ubuntu caching thumbnails.  I want it to display thumbnails just not store them in the .thumbnail folder
[02:09] <supermodified> /dev/sdb2 is definietely my linux partition
[02:09] <supermodified> i ran fdisk -l
[02:09] <mwe> hc_: yw
[02:10] <hc_> Now I just have to figure out how to get proper rights.
[02:10] <nahi-> PurpZeY, http://nomorepasting.com/paste.php?pasteID=80853
[02:10] <mwe> hc_: yeah. you need to mess with smb.conf
[02:10] <Spliffster> supermodified: ok ... never mind, if you want to install into the disks mbr, use /dev/sdb otherwise you would know if you'd want to install it somewhere else.

[02:10] <Spliffster> supermodified: out of curiosity ... what is sda? is this your primary boot partition (ie flagged as boot disk in fdisk?)
[02:10] <PurpZeY> nahi-: Egh, running in root eh...Anyway, this shouldn't be hard to fix.
[02:10] <mwe> hc_: last link
[02:11] <Spliffster> supermodified: i mean your primary boot device
[02:11] <nahi-> PurpZeY,  yeh i thought it would be better in root
[02:11] <hc_> mwe: Thanks!
[02:11] <nahi-> i can logout thow ;p
[02:11] <guardian> hi, is there a gui to format partitions on ubuntu feisty ?
[02:11] <supermodified> yeah, sdb2 is my primary boot partition
[02:11] <PurpZeY> nahi-: Ok, so you need to blacklist one of these drivers, namely prism2_pci do you know how to do it?
[02:11] <graveson1> i am looking for a simple guide to mencoder/ffmpeg ( not sure which one is more easier) . basically the simplest way to convert from any format to any format
[02:11] <supermodified> sbd1 is my windows vista parition
[02:11] <nahi-> PurpZeY,  no...
[02:12] <Spliffster> supermodified: and is sdb your primary boot drive? if sda is your boot drive, the you want to install grub into /dev/sda
[02:12] <hc_> mwe: weird. It says "writable = yes" in /etc/samba/smb.conf
[02:12] <PurpZeY> nahi-: You said you are running in command line though right?
[02:12] <nahi-> yes
[02:12] <Frogzoo> Jake1443: you're not looking
[02:12] <supermodified> well, the boot asterisk is next to sdb2
[02:12] <Spliffster> ok!
[02:12] <Spliffster> /dev/sdb must be it
[02:13] <soundray> KorN[CM] : okay, you seem to have the latest kernel module (version 9755), which should go with nvidia-glx-new. Maybe the older nvidia-glx package is interfering. Try 'sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx' and say yes if it asks.
[02:13] <mwe> hc_: there may be other options taking effect
[02:13] <nahi-> im never getting an hp laptop ever again next laptop will def be a dell laptop
[02:13] <supermodified> so i install grub into the windows partition?
[02:13] <hc_> mwe: like what? Looks fine to me.
[02:13] <guardian> hi, is there a gui to format partitions on ubuntu feisty ?
[02:13] <PurpZeY> nahi-: Ok, so, use either nano or vi...if you don't know the difference use nano. and nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist    Add a separate line, blacklist prism2_pci
[02:13] <Spliffster> sdb is not a partition, it holds a partition table. so you are installing in no partition but at the very beginning of sda itself
[02:13] <hc_> I can try to copy my smb.conf from my server.
[02:13] <KorN[CM] > soundray: it is now removed (we have removed it before)
[02:14] <KorN[CM] > soundray: now whats next?
[02:14] <Spliffster> supermodified: the so called MBR
[02:14] <supermodified> ah, k
[02:14] <tlhiv> hi folks ... can someone help me with XrandR?
[02:14] <PurpZeY> nahi-: Do that, and try to reboot. I have to go shut my roommates alarm clock off, I will be afk right quick.
[02:14] <mwe> hc_: back up what you have, though.
[02:14] <orbin> guardian: try gparted
[02:14] <guardian> ok
[02:14] <mwe> hc_: but yes
[02:14] <nahi-> PurpZeY,  okay
[02:14] <tlhiv> every time i try to rotate my screen using `xrandr -o inverted` the X server crashes
[02:14] <soundray> KorN[CM] : 'sudo apt-get --reinstall install nvidia-glx-new'
[02:14] <Jake1443> frogzoo i dont want to turn off thumbnaisl i just want to stop them caching
[02:14] <Spliffster> supermodified: whenever something goes wrong, you can use the install disk to boot sdb2 again
[02:15] <supermodified> but can i damage my install of windows?
[02:15] <helpme> chubs go to #beryl
[02:15] <helpme> chubs go to #beryl
[02:15] <Spliffster> supermodified: that's right. at least you can damage windows bootup sequence
[02:15] <Frogzoo> Jake1443: there's an option there for what you want
[02:15] <battlesquid> i'm experiencing some major issues with nautilus here. i was cleaning up in my homedir, using nautilus to move and delete files. at one point when i deleted a file (just a plain text file, as far as nautilus is concerned) it starts using 50% cpu and hangs. i have tried even rebooting but the problem is persistent.
[02:15] <soundray> Jake1443: you could just set the directory unwritable
[02:15] <KorN[CM] > soundray: it is done
[02:15] <nahi-> PurpZeY, it opend a conf file
[02:15] <Spliffster> supermodified: but your windows install can be fixed
[02:15] <PurpZeY> nahi-: is it called blacklist ?
[02:15] <nahi-> yup
[02:15] <Spliffster> supermodified: i mean could ... hopefully could :)
[02:16] <nahi-> i just add blacklist prism2_pci anywhere ?
[02:16] <battlesquid> how can i find out what's wrong with nautilus?
[02:16] <supermodified> haha
[02:16] <soundray> KorN[CM] : time to try and restart X: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start
[02:16] <Jake1443> frogzoo there is one called thumbnail limit
[02:16] <PurpZeY> nahi-: Add a new line at the bottom.
[02:16] <Jake1443> but not mazx size
[02:16] <nahi-> okay
[02:16] <Jake1443> max
[02:16] <nahi-> saved
[02:16] <nahi-> :)
[02:16] <nahi-> leme reboot
[02:16] <nahi-> brb
[02:16] <mwe> hc_: perhaps you need to change the linux file permissions of the folder
[02:16] <KorN[CM] > soundray: is the full command "restart x: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start"?
[02:16] <supermodified> ok, so just to clarify, i'm installing grub in sdb1, which is the partition table for my windows partition, while sdb2 (my linux partition) is flagged as the boot disc
[02:17] <Spliffster> supermodified: if you are worried, you must make a copy of the vistas mbr. there are plenty of infos on the web how to do so with dd
[02:17] <Fenyx> Good morning.
[02:17] <soundray> KorN[CM] : no 'sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start'
[02:17] <Frogzoo> Jake1443: oh I c
[02:17] <mwe> hc_: samba can restrict access but it can't grant permissions you wouldn't normally have
[02:17] <battlesquid> if i force quit nautilus it opens 3 new nautilus windows!
[02:17] <battlesquid> i'm experiencing some major issues with nautilus here. i was cleaning up in my homedir, using nautilus to move and delete files. at one point when i deleted a file (just a plain text file, as far as nautilus is concerned) it starts using 50% cpu and hangs. i have tried even rebooting but the problem is persistent.
[02:17] <Jake1443> frogzoo but i set the directory to list files and seems to be working :)
[02:17] <froyd> hy guys guys know if ssh uses udp as well as tcp ?
[02:18] <Spliffster> supermodified: you should install grub into sdb which is no partition but the MBR. none of your partitions will be tuched. just make sure to stay away fro mthe disk where windows is installed on
[02:18] <battlesquid> how can i find out what's wrong with nautilus?
[02:18] <mwe> hc_: what's the security level set to?
[02:18] <KorN[CM] > soundray: starting gnome display manager.... OK
[02:18] <hc_> mwe: No idea. Where do I change it?
[02:18] <Spliffster> supermodified: grub-install --root-dir=/mnt/... /dev/sdb
[02:18] <PurpZeY> Sorry, this is utterly off-topic, feel free to ignore, but how classy is it that howard the duck is on tv at 8 am..very classy.
[02:18] <soundray> KorN[CM] : is that all that happens?
[02:18] <mwe> hc_: smb.conf, security=
[02:19] <KorN[CM] > soundray: yeah thats it
[02:19] <KorN[CM] > soundray: dont we need to start x??
[02:19] <mwe> hc_: you could try chmod 777 the folder for testing purpose as well. change it back though. it's not safe
[02:19] <Jake1443> frogzoo  now i am not getting any thumbnails at all
[02:19] <soundray> KorN[CM] : that's what that does.
[02:19] <nahi-> PurpZeY,  its working thanx alot :) can u paste me the command again,
[02:19] <soundray> KorN[CM] : Hit Ctrl-Alt-F7 and tell me what happens
[02:19] <KorN[CM] > soundray: nothing happens, just back at the command line
[02:19] <PurpZeY> nahi-: blacklist prism2_pci
[02:20] <nahi-> and the other one
[02:20] <KorN[CM] > soundray: done, nothing
[02:20] <nahi-> to enter the blacklist
[02:20] <soundray> KorN[CM] : still at the prompt?
[02:20] <PurpZeY> nahi-: well, nano etc/modprobe.d/blacklist but in gnome you'll have to use sudo (and if you prefer) gedit
[02:20] <KorN[CM] > soundray: when i typed in start x it worked
[02:20] <hc_> mwe: found something weird when I tried to chmod.
[02:20] <hc_> hc@leo:~$ sudo chmod 777 /media/sdb2/Bilder/Canon\ EOS\ 400D/
[02:20] <hc_> chmod: changing permissions of /media/sdb2/Bilder/Canon EOS 400D/: Read-only file system
[02:21] <KorN[CM] > soundray: trying to change screen res now to 1024X7668
[02:21] <KorN[CM] > soundray: thanks you!
[02:21] <nahi-> okay PurpZeY  thanx alot :) the linux channel on dalnet didn't have a clue about that
[02:21] <mwe> hc_: there you go ;)
[02:21] <nahi-> brb leme move out of here
[02:21] <soundray> KorN[CM] : what resolution do you have now?
[02:21] <KorN[CM] > soundray: no more changes from my end tob e made :)
[02:21] <KorN[CM] > 1024X768
[02:21] <mwe> hc_: sdb2 is not mounted rw
[02:21] <pebs74> anyone know a web interface app for ftp server I could use??
[02:21] <supermodified> Spliffster: i get a 'cannot create directory `/mnt/../boot/grub': Permission denied' error. should i use sudo?
[02:21] <soundray> KorN[CM] : so you're sorted?
[02:22] <KorN[CM] > soundray: thanks so much!
[02:22] <Jake1443> frogzoo looks like i cant set the thumbnails to display at the same time as not cache....i just have to turn them off
[02:22] <hc_> Hm. Well, I can just copy to the server, and then back to my Ubuntu desktop.
[02:22] <Jake1443> :(
[02:22] <PurpZeY> soundray: I really wish I had followed that, I was helping nahi-, can you give me the extremely short version of that fix...just the steps?
[02:22] <soundray> KorN[CM] : well done you for having the patience
[02:22] <low_on_ram> Hello all. I have an NEC Versa Lite Fxi laptop with 600MHz P3, 192 MB Ram, NO HDD. This laptop will ONLY boot from the CD Rom now and not from any USB devices. GRUB cannot see the USB pendrive (1GB) but fdisk can. I want to know the ideal way to get this system up and running. CD reads are a bad thing for this computer because it takes far too long to boot up using xubuntu live CD.
[02:23] <mwe> hc_: and set security=user in smb.conf as well
[02:23] <soundray> PurpZeY: I was digging in the dark, more or less. The apt-get --reinstall install nvidia-glx-new fixed it.
[02:23] <Aaron__> hi all. since this is my first irc with xchat i will settle down and watch. :)
[02:23] <PurpZeY> soundray: got it.
[02:23] <PurpZeY> !hi | Aaron__
[02:23] <ubotu> Aaron__: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[02:23] <Aaron__> thank you :)
[02:24] <guardian> is there a way to make ubuntu rescan my ide drives ? i reformated an ntfs partition into an ext3 partition but i can't see it in nautilus
[02:24] <neil_feisty> guardian, have u mounted it already
[02:24] <soundray> PurpZeY: fixing X via IRC can be a pain, because people can't just pastebin their xorg.conf or Xorg.0.log -- we really need a CLI script for pastebinning again...
[02:25] <guardian> neil_feisty: well /etc/fstab still contains old ntfs settings
[02:25] <PurpZeY> soundray: that would be nice.
[02:25] <Frogzoo> guardian: update /etc/fstab - then 'sudo mount -a'
[02:25] <hc_> mwe: did that, wouldn't work.
[02:26] <soundray> PurpZeY: logging off now... You're doing good work here, keep it up
[02:26] <PurpZeY> soundray: Thanks...Trying...=)...Take it easy.
[02:27] <Aaron__> hmm. i realize i have alot to learn with ubuntu. always worked with yuck windows, but it was time to change to linux.. i'm afraid i'm a complete n00d with that lol
[02:27] <guardian> can't /etc/fstab be updated automatically to reflect the changes ?
[02:28] <Azhi_Dahaka> how can i update firefox in 6.06 to the last version?
[02:28] <PurpZeY> Aaron__: I was a complete noob 3 weeks ago...Now I help people troubleshoot...Granted, nothing major or crazy, but you learn fast...
[02:28] <Frogzoo> guardian: no tool that does that afaik
[02:28] <main2> i selected the 'memtest86' option from my grub menu
[02:28] <main2> to check my ddr memory, its 1GB
[02:29] <main2> about how long / how many tests does it take to find out?
[02:29] <main2> its bussy for 30+minutes now
[02:29] <Aaron__> :) thank you i hope i will aswell. ohwel i guess i can ask lots of things here. :)
[02:29] <mwe> hc_: you need to mount the file system read+write or it wont work no matter how you configure samba
[02:29] <Funkah> Aaron__:  Yup, lots of people seem to be able to ask LOTS about linux.
[02:30] <PurpZeY> Aaron__: This is such a good resource and you would not believe what is on the forums...I mean, almost any problem you have, someone else has had it.
[02:30] <Jango> hey, how does one shut down X and log out of it completely to just get to a shell?
[02:30] <xsnake> Is there antivirus software for Ubuntu
[02:30] <Aaron__> for example: i worked with mIRC that has its own language. kinda basic, but worked fine. i wonder xchat has something like that asweel?
[02:31] <Azhi_Dahaka> how can i enable read/write on a ntfs partition? I'm on 6.06
[02:31] <Jango> hey, how does one shut down X and log out of it completely to just get to a terminal?
[02:31] <PurpZeY> Aaron__: I haven't done irc-scripting in maybe 6-7 years, but I hear that there are other clients better than xchat for irc scripting.
[02:31] <ZeroA4> xsnake, yes. There are pay, freeware and even a opensorce AV...
[02:31] <Moduliz0r> why does sound coming through JACK audio server sound choppy?
[02:32] <Aaron__> ic and which might that be if i may ask?
[02:32] <ZeroA4> xsnake, but they server more to clean windows virus from windows files that you have acess via linux
[02:32] <ewanm89> Moduliz0r: is realtime audio activated?
[02:32] <Jango> hey, how does one shut down X and log out of it completely to just get to a terminal?
[02:32] <Moduliz0r> ewanm89: I dont know, how do I tell?
[02:32] <guardian> ok thx
[02:32] <PurpZeY> Jango: Just a moment, I'll get you that command.
[02:32] <aricz> Jango: ctrl+alt+backspace I think..
[02:33] <Frogzoo> Jango: ctrl alt f1-f6 - you can leave x running
[02:33] <mc2003> good evining guys...2 q when i have compiled something from source how do i u install it..and if i want to update a program installed this way(compiled) and i want to upgrade it i have to uninstall it?
[02:33] <Jango> i need to exit out of X to install the nvidia driver
[02:33] <PurpZeY> aricz: I thought ctrl+alt+bkspc restarts X again.
[02:33] <mwe> PurpZeY: xchat is great for scripting. it supports perl as well as python
[02:33] <aricz> I think it ends the X session..
[02:33] <PurpZeY> mwe: Foiled again.
[02:33] <Jango> it doesn't
[02:33] <Jango> just takes you back to the login screen
[02:33] <supermodified> im back
[02:33] <low_on_ram> PurpZeY, mwe supports Ruby too
[02:33] <Aaron__> mwe: :) hmm time to learn a new lingo for me then.. i guess perl will doe fine?
[02:34] <mwe> low_on_ram: and tcl/tk
[02:34] <Jango> any way to stop x completely?
[02:34] <Moduliz0r> ok ive enabled realtime, it sounds better
[02:34] <Moduliz0r> but
[02:34] <aricz> ctrl+alt+backspace ends X session.. at least here
[02:34] <Moduliz0r> still choppy
[02:34] <low_on_ram> mwe, muhaha!
[02:34] <mwe> Aaron__: yeah. personally I prefer python, though.
[02:34] <Jango> aricz:  it just takes me back to the login screen
[02:34] <xsnake> ok, freeware would be good, any ideas what to search for in package manager?
[02:34] <aricz> jango, well, it ends the X session to me..
[02:34] <aricz> :)
[02:34] <supermodified> i installed GRUB again, and GRUB runs when i boot up, but when i run ubuntu, it says there's no such partition, and when i try and start vista, it just hangs at the Starting Up screen
[02:34] <Jango> heh..
[02:35] <varka> Jango: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[02:35] <aricz> . /etc/X11/gdm stop .. ?
[02:35] <aricz> ohhh..
[02:35] <Aaron__> :) i might aswell learn python then
[02:35] <aricz> :))
[02:35] <supermodified> anyone?
[02:35] <Jango> okay, thanks
[02:35] <varka> oops
[02:35] <Funkah> supermodified:  The joys of trying to dual-boot.
[02:35] <supermodified> yeah, tell me about it
[02:35] <supermodified> not very happy at the moment
[02:35] <Reilithion> Ok, I'm right-clicking on a file and using Open With... and I've added a program twice in there -- each time with different commandline options.  I don't mind it being in there twice, but I can't tell which one is using which option.  Can I edit their names somehow?
[02:36] <kimmey> I had some problems with grub myself, but it was not more than a few things in the config I had to fix
[02:36] <Barry> Hello. When I perform 'sudo apt-get upgrade' in Feisty, I'm told that the packages "linux-headers-generic" and "linux-image-generic" have been kept back. How can I get these to upgrade, too?
[02:36] <supermodified> care to elaborate?
[02:36] <Aaron__> time to go and see where i can get that python
[02:36] <mwe> Aaron__: I think the oopd features of python are better
[02:36] <mwe> Aaron__: you have it already
[02:36] <mwe> Aaron__: default ubuntu has it
[02:36] <PurpZeY> Barry: That is the new kernel upgrade, there were some problems with it, some people had that upgrade problem, but, in my personal estimation, there is no real need to do them.
[02:36] <Aaron__> ah.. lol shows what i know so far..
[02:37] <Barry> Aaron__: You already have Python. Get information about it at www.python.org -- it's a great language!
[02:37] <mwe> Aaron__: install diveintopython. it's a great ebook
[02:37] <Funkah> If it can't be done in basic then it's not worth doing!
[02:37] <Moduliz0r> anyone know why JACK audio sounds choppy like theres an inteferrance?
[02:37] <mwe> Aaron__: sudo apt-get install diveintopython
[02:37] <Aaron__> thank you mwe. i will go there and see. thank you all for helping. i think i'l be back soon :)
[02:37] <supermodified> so no one can help me with my GRUB issues?
[02:38] <flami> Hi im trying to mount a ubuntu iso with : "mount -t iso9660 -o loop /home/josi/images/ubuntuamd64.iso /mnt/iso" and i get the error " mount: Not a directory" ... whats wrong?
[02:38] <Aaron__> byebye all. see you next time
[02:38] <PurpZeY> !mountiso | flami
[02:38] <ubotu> flami: To mount an ISO disc image, type  sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint>  - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[02:38] <fragspaz> hey
[02:38] <mwe> supermodified: what happened when you tried reinstalling grub?
[02:38] <ewanm89> Moduliz0r: Are you using an integrated soundcard?
[02:38] <supermodified> the installation worked fine
[02:38] <Moduliz0r> ewanm89: Yes, but its only JACK that does this
[02:39] <supermodified> then i rebooted, BIOS came up, the GRUB ran
[02:39] <supermodified> i had the option of what to boot
[02:39] <Moduliz0r> ewanm89: it's a RealTek 5.1 one
[02:39] <nofxx> hello....my cube desktop was working yesterday.....nothing today..... other effects are working... 7.04 intel 945GM gpu
[02:39] <supermodified> tried booting ubuntu, and was told that the partition didnt exist
[02:39] <nofxx> any ideas
[02:39] <Barry> PurpZeY: Thanks for the information. Is there anything I can do to make the package manager stop telling me there are five updates available that it won't give me?
[02:39] <supermodified> tried booting vista, and it hangs on the starting up screen
[02:39] <varka> flami: did you create the mountpoint directory before?
[02:39] <fragspaz> i just finished installing ubuntu - and i cant load it becuase grub didnt load... i have a 320gb sata drive which i run windows xp home on (4 partitions, all used by win) and i just put in an IDE 40gb drive which i instaleld ubuntu onto... grub didnt show during load
[02:39] <PurpZeY> nofxx: Do you still have the 4 desktop choices in the righthand corner?
[02:39] <flami> yers
[02:39] <adnan> hi
[02:39] <flami> varka,  yes , its there
[02:40] <nofxx> PurpZeY: no bro.. they are gone
[02:40] <supermodified> fragspaz, you're having the same problem as me
[02:40] <mwe> supermodified: hmm
[02:40] <PurpZeY> nofxx: Running beryl or just desktop effects?
[02:40] <varka> flami: then i also see no mistake
[02:40] <flami> varka,  if i chose a mountpoint that does not exist i get a different error :/
[02:40] <low_on_ram> is there anyway to start xubuntu live cd without the X server starting up?
[02:40] <ewanm89> Moduliz0r: Jack utilises the card more and a lot of integrated soundcards can't handle it.
[02:40] <nofxx> PurpZeY: just desktop effect
[02:40] <fragspaz> well how does one fix this problem then
[02:40] <adnan> how do I turn my work space a s a cube
[02:40] <supermodified> havent figured it out yet
[02:40] <mwe> supermodified: don't know about the vista issue, but it sounds like menu.lst might have the wrong partition for ubuntu
[02:40] <Moduliz0r> ewanm89: Can I do anything about it?
[02:40] <PurpZeY> supermodified: I really can't help you, beyond to say, I hear that vista doesn't play well with others.
[02:41] <supermodified> damn
[02:41] <PurpZeY> nofxx: Have you checked if desktop effects is still on?
[02:41] <Moduliz0r> ewanm89: it's a medium-high end board...
[02:41] <supermodified> anyway to uninstall ubuntu and go back to the Vista boot?
[02:41] <adnan> yes they are
[02:41] <nofxx> PurpZeY: yes.. they are working... only the cube dont

[02:41] <Funkah> If vista's on it's own partition, surely it can't be interfering?
[02:41] <PurpZeY> supermodified: doesn't mean it won't work at all. I'm just saying I've heard that.
[02:41] <nofxx> PurpZeY: i have that YES line on glxinfo
[02:41] <PurpZeY> nofxx: Ok, there is one thing that got set wrong for me that was easy to fix let me just get that variable.
[02:42] <adnan> how do I turn on cube workspace in ubuntu
[02:42] <adnan> its on
[02:42] <supermodified> anyway to uninstall ubuntu and go back to the Vista boot?
[02:42] <nofxx> PurpZeY: cool xD waiting.... I can install beryl too ... there are more effects and options, right ?
[02:42] <adnan> how does cube wokspace work
[02:42] <PurpZeY> nofxx: If you want eyecandy, beryl is the way to go.
[02:42] <fragspaz> hello? anyone got a free hand?
[02:42] <supermodified> i guess ill need the vista boot disc, right?
[02:42] <ramboza> hello, is there a way to make ubuntu grub bootloader look like in SuSE 10.0 ? I mean clean background, animated timer and without text area for menu entries?
[02:43] <supermodified> fragspaz, you need to reinstall GRUB
[02:43] <supermodified> i had a link on how to do it
[02:43] <supermodified> wait, ill find it
[02:43] <Funkah> supermodified:  Might be easier to just wipethe partitions and fresh install vista.
[02:43] <adnan> anyone
[02:43] <fragspaz> is it difficult super?
[02:43] <Moduliz0r> Can Ubuntu handle 2 separate sound cards?
[02:43] <adnan> how does cube work space work
[02:43] <supermodified> Funkah: out of the question, i have too many important files in my Vista partition

[02:44] <Azhi_Dahaka> is there a way to make ubuntu 6.06 update to 6.10 from the command line? i'm logged in via ssh
[02:45] <Funkah> Why would you install something you can't work at all?
[02:45] <kuja> Anyone know why my first harddrive is recognized as /dev/hdc?  The way everything is setup it should be /dev/hda
[02:45] <PurpZeY> nofxx: Meanwhile, if you don't want to use beryl, the following command may help gconftool-2 type int set /apps/compiz/general/screen0/options/hsize 4

[02:49] <nahi-> hey PurpZeY i detected the wireless network but its not connecting to it....
[02:49] <Barry> fragspaz: Sorry, buy you're beyond my level of being able to help. (I'm just a penguinista in training.)
[02:49] <fragspaz> aha k ill just try it
[02:49] <fragspaz> thanks for your help
[02:49] <PurpZeY> nahi-: Is it a secure network?
[02:50] <nahi-> no its not
[02:50] <Parmenion> PurpZeY, its kinda like grkrellm except it writes directly to the screen
[02:50] <PurpZeY> nahi-: And what happens when you try to connect?
[02:50] <Parmenion> its in quite a number of screenies
[02:50] <nahi-> it loads up to 28% and stops
[02:50] <Barry> My update manager stays in a mode where it says I have five updates available, but the updates are to the Linux header and kernel, and it won't upgrade them. Can I get update manager to stop saying the updates are there?
[02:50] <PurpZeY> nahi-: Also, please tell me the model again I shut that thread on the forum.
[02:50] <PurpZeY> nahi-: Is it at all possible for you to just test with another network?
[02:51] <PurpZeY> nahi-: 28% what sort of tool you using to connect to the network?
[02:51] <nahi-> PurpZeY, i dunno i just hit on the network and choose my wireless to connect to
[02:51] <Aaron__> hmm strange... i wanted to go to another server, so i added another one. but as soon i did a connect the xcahat closed. ?

[02:53] <zek> Hello I am trying to install Ubuntu 7.04 on my parents pc.  I am using a live cd.  It worked fine on my comp.  It is extremely slow and is locked up currently. Is there away at boot to install instead of loading the live os
[02:54] <nahi-> activation stage configuring device
[02:54] <frank_> when i open the file with totem it says i have to install the gstreamer plugin and shows me a synaptic-styled window, but it is already selected as "installed"
[02:54] <nahi-> PurpZeY,  activation stage configuring device
[02:54] <nahi-> and its stops
[02:54] <frank_> i have "reinstalled", completely removed, new-installed the gstremer plugin... without any success
[02:54] <PurpZeY> nahi-: Ok, what model is it again?
[02:54] <frank_> can somebody please help me?
[02:54] <PurpZeY> nahi-: How did you get to that window?

[02:54] <supermodified> ok, im giving installing ubuntu another shot, just a quick question

[02:54] <PurpZeY> nahi-: The model of the computer?
[02:55] <supermodified> should i create a partitition for ubuntu, or just leave free space and let the installer manage it all
[02:55] <frank_> varka: yes, mplayer plays .rams but not .wmvs
[02:55] <nahi-> PurpZeY,  model of computer is hp compaq nx9000
[02:55] <PurpZeY> nahi-: Oh, ok, so you have the two little fake LEDs up there in the tray?
[02:55] <nahi-> that was the wireless model
[02:55] <nahi-> PurpZeY,  sorry ?:
[02:55] <PurpZeY> nahi-: Got it...No problem.
[02:55] <supermodified> anyone?
[02:56] <kuja> GRUB sees my first harddrive as the first IDE device, hd0 just fine, but when booting into Ubuntu, the device is recognized as /dev/hdc.. shouldn't it be /dev/hda?
[02:56] <tuna-fish> please help, all the help I can find from the ubuntu site is for mounting windows partitions, apparently ext3 should be handled automatically or something.
[02:56] <tuna-fish> So i bought a new hd, plugged it in partitioned and formatted it etc, but now it doesn't mount automatically on boot, and the mount option in gparted is greyed out. what to do?
[02:56] <frank_> varka: should i use strece in order to examine the files opened by totem? maybe it tries to open the wrong path or something
[02:56] <kuja> GRUB's device.map file also says that (hd0) is /dev/hda
[02:56] <frank_> varka: this is the only option left... i simply have no idea why it doesn't work
[02:56] <PurpZeY> nahi-: Pastebin this please: sudo iwlist eth0 scan
[02:56] <nahi-> okay
[02:57] <varka> frank_: mplayer makes no use of gstreamer plugins afaik. for totem you need them and for w32codecs you need the pitfdll plugin also
[02:57] <frank_> varka: *strace*, sry
[02:57] <nahi-> PurpZeY,  root ?
[02:57] <kuja> Anyone know why (hd0) isn't /dev/hda, but is instead /dev/hdc?
[02:57] <PurpZeY> nahi-: Just use sudo, it's much safer.
[02:57] <frank_> varka: i can't find pidfdll in synaptic, do i have to install it manually?
[02:58] <nahi-> PurpZeY,  eth0      Interface doesn't support scanning.
[02:58] <varka> frank_: gstreamer0.10-pitfdll
[02:58] <PurpZeY> nahi-: Got it, just a sec.
[02:58] <nahi-> k

[02:59] <slynux> any help??
[02:59] <zek> Why would the live cd run like an infected xp system on my parents pc when it worked fine on mine.  Mine is a little older both Dell Dimensions.
[02:59] <frank_> varka: it doesn't work: totem: search for suitable codec?
[02:59] <nofxx> PurpZeY: hm... no go on that command... tryed before... after enabling effect....  gonna try beryl I guess... thanx for the help !
[02:59] <varka> frank_: you have totem-gstreamer installed, not totem-xine?
[02:59] <frank_> when i click "yes" it offers me to install (the INSTALLED) gstreamer plugins
[02:59] <PurpZeY> nofxx: if you like graphics and that sort of thing beryl is the way to go .
[03:00] <frank_> varka: one sec, checking
[03:00] <varka> frank_: do you have that problem on a particular videofile or on all WMVs ?
[03:00] <vendetta_assassi> hello ppl ! Could someone help me with speedtouch usb and ubuntu ?
[03:00] <frank_> varka: i have totem-gstreamer installed, not totem-xine
[03:00] <slynux> Heyyyyyy
[03:00] <sharkp> Hi guys
[03:01] <frank_> varka: on all wmvs (and rams on totem)
[03:01] <sharkp> Who has ever used uck?
[03:01] <slynux> any idea about MIME problem?????????
[03:01] <ubuntuEdgy> if only we had one player to haddle all media , like windows media 11
[03:01] <frank_> varka: the ram files are playable with mplayer and they are 100% not drm'ed or something
[03:01] <PurpZeY> nahi-: stop network manager. run this command then try to connect again: sudo dhclient eht0
[03:02] <varka> frank_: strange, but i have no idea, sry
[03:02] <frank_> ubuntuEdgy: vlc was supposed to handle all files but on my ubuntu installation it simply doesn't work
[03:02] <frank_> varka: ok thanks anyway
[03:02] <nahi-> PurpZeY,  brb
[03:03] <ubuntuEdgy> Frank , yeh it has lost of potential but sadly you cant even change a skin.
[03:03] <ubuntuEdgy> its always loads the default on on start up.

[03:04] <sharkp> Who has ever used uck?

[03:07] <mattl> mc44: how so? i don't get anything when i search for restricted?
[03:07] <PurpZeY> zek: Neither, depending on what channel you want to be in.
[03:07] <PurpZeY> nahi-: Run, lsmod | acpi, I just want to make sure the acp is out. . .
[03:07] <mattl> mc44: nah. i was, then i was using Debian.. now i'm trying these feisty disks.
[03:07] <zek> this is the general help for all things ubuntu
[03:07] <zek> right
[03:07] <PurpZeY> zek: Yes.
[03:07] <spikeb> yep zek
[03:07] <mattl> mc44: makes it easier to moan at jono if i use Ubuntu occasionally ;)
[03:08] <zek> does anyone have any experience with ltsp
[03:08] <mc44> mattl: are you sure the restricted repository is enabled?
[03:08] <sharkp> Who has ever used ubuntu customization kit?
[03:08] <maikol> how can i get apt-get to forget about packages that are installed on the system. for soem reasion, xfonts-* is failing to be removed and i cant install anything because of them.
[03:08] <PurpZeY> nahi-: Also, have you made sure your card is turned on.
[03:08] <nahi-> PurpZeY,  soul@sanctuary:~$ lsmod | acpi
[03:08] <nahi->      Battery 1: charging, 56%, 00:32:32 until charged
[03:08] <nahi-> soul@sanctuary:~$
[03:08] <nahi-> PurpZeY,  yes it is turned on
[03:09] <mattl> mc44: it's not the restricted repository.. i got rid of that, it's the packages.. linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-15-generic, linux-restricted-modules-common, linux-restricted-modules-generic and linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-16-generic...
[03:09] <mc44> mattl: yeah, those packages are in the restricted repository
[03:09] <mattl> mc44: i mean sudo apt-get remove linux-restricted-modules* --purge works fine for me, but yeah.
[03:09] <mattl> are they? hm.
[03:09] <PurpZeY> nahi-: lshw | grep wire
[03:10] <zek> does anyone know if my problem with the refresh freq going to high is normall for ati cards?
[03:10] <zek> or if there is a way to fix it without shutting down?
[03:10] <mc44> mattl: so thats possibly why they aren't showing up
[03:10] <mattl> mc44: i can still apt-cache search them without restricted repo. sure they're not in whatever-you-guys-call-main ?
[03:10] <nahi-> PurpZeY,  http://www.nomorepasting.com/paste.php?pasteID=80856
[03:11] <PurpZeY> zek: I am just theorizing, but I imagine that is in xorg.conf, so it'd require an x-restart once you figured out how to fix it, which I honestly don't know.
[03:11] <frank_> if it goes on like this "uh no you have to install restricted-bad-ugly-hitler packages" I'm in the mood to make a "ubuntu-pirate-nazi-communist" edition...

[03:11] <mattl> frank_: what multimedia are you trying to play?

[03:12] <frank_> elkbuntu: sry i only wanted to make it clear how much it sucks ;)
[03:12] <PurpZeY> zek: Well, if you have a refresh rate problem, you'd have to fix that first. but ctrl alt bksp would it to restart x after that.

[03:13] <zek> PurpZey: i have a Radeon 9250 pci card.  is the ati driver really that bad?
[03:13] <mattl> frank_: right. mp3 is legally difficult in much of the world. which country and you in?
[03:13] <frank_> elkbuntu: ok sry but i'm german so it is offensive to me, too

[03:14] <PurpZeY> zek: I don't really know from personal experience, but I hear the drivers can really be a bear.
[03:14] <elkbuntu> frank_, other people don't know that until you say it, until then they take it as disrespect
[03:14] <frank_> the university which i'm going to invented mp3 and everybody here in germany uses lame encoder without copyright issues

[03:14] <lbawinowns> Hello, I'm not sure wheter it's bevause of GNOME or maybe not even because anything OS-related. But is the windows background color always the same? Since when I edit a Forms color to a form in Lazarus, there is no color change. Is it because of GNOME?

[03:14] <ewanm89> frank_: apt-get install lame?
[03:14] <mattl> mc44: now to just dig through and find any lurking firmware.
[03:15] <frank_> elkbuntu: sry i really didn't want to offend someone
[03:15] <lbawinowns> techie1 - maybe NTFS3g?
[03:15] <techie1> I try to download script as ber ubuntu instructions to terminal but it did not download
[03:15] <PurpZeY> nahi-: It sort of looks like your connected, have you tried running mozilla or anything?
[03:15] <mattl> mc44: i was quite pleasantly surprised that it popped up and offered me to disable my wireless card.
[03:15] <elkbuntu> frank_, you'll know to be more careful next time then :)
[03:15] <nahi-> PurpZeY,  im connected to wired now leme remove the cable and try
[03:15] <techie1> I will try that lbawinonwns

[03:15] <techie1> !NTFS#g
[03:15] <zek> hopefully dell can pressure ATI to make better drivers until then Microsoft will always be better for gaming.  Ati and Nvidia are pretty much all there is in GPUs.  I dont have any experience with nvidia but linux will never be successful for gaming until both can actually work
[03:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ntfs#g - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[03:17] <elkbuntu> frank_, australia, but social discussions happen in #ubuntu-offtopic, so if you need to ask more, ask there
[03:17] <techie1> i will be back latter.thnaks.
[03:17] <zek> actually they work really well- lots of options and config tools
[03:17] <jlu> the only bad thing with ntfs3g is that is can't be used if windows is in hibernation.
[03:17] <spikeb> heh
[03:17] <ewanm89> frank_: Save as wave, open in audacity and export as mp3 (you'll have to tell audacity where lame is in the prefrences first).
[03:17] <spikeb> lucky you, then.

[03:17] <slavik> I opened the proper inbound ports for SMB (137-139 and 445) but still can't browse windows network (if I disable the firewall, everything is fine) ...
[03:17] <nahi-> PurpZeY, i did i removed the cable and tried to connect i opend the browser and nothing
[03:18] <frank_> ewanm89: I tried this but the encoding scrambles the file up, a 10sec recording has a length of 7834min
[03:18] <forever> hi people
[03:18] <slavik> are there extra ports that I have to open?
[03:18] <zek> all i did was install the driver from the support page for ATI. and compared to what are xp drivers bad. Nothing is better
[03:18] <forever> hi guys, i somebody give me a help here
[03:18] <PurpZeY> Hmmm...That was curious.
[03:18] <ewanm89> frank_: What bitrate did you record it at?
[03:19] <zek> i did hear somewhere that ATI was going to improve its linux drivers hopefully its true
[03:19] <frank_> ewanm89: i used the default settings, no idea
[03:20] <zek> what do you guys use that works for games
[03:20] <zek> sorry works well
[03:20] <ewanm89> frank_: Who big is the .wav?
[03:20] <thyazide> is there a way to update the in built repositories? some how i managed to delete them out of my system and i need to restore them so i can update... any suggestions?
[03:21] <axel_s> Hi, I just installed Ubuntu for the first time but don't know the root pwd... I've not entered one at any time..
[03:21] <mc44> !sourceomatic | thyazide
[03:21] <ubotu> thyazide: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[03:21] <zek> axel_s:
[03:21] <frank_> just a few 100k
[03:21] <axel_s> I've only entered a pwd for my user
[03:21] <frank_> erm sry: ewanm89: just a few 100kb
[03:21] <PurpZeY> nahi-: I can't really figure it out...I mean, it looks like you are connected.
[03:21] <nahi-> PurpZeY,  nothing :(
[03:21] <zek> axel_s: it should be the same as ur user pwd.  it just is confirmation
[03:22] <zek> so u dont screw something up
[03:22] <nahi-> PurpZeY,  it says activating wireless connection and stuff and nothing
[03:22] <mc44> axel_s: there is no root password, use sudo for root, using your user password
[03:22] <PurpZeY> nahi-: Try this command, ping 127.0.0.1
[03:22] <ewanm89> frank_: Could you send it to me (/dcc send /path/to/file)?
[03:22] <thyazide> thank you ubotu

[03:23] <markybhoy> Hi,  has anyone done a manual partition setup with ubuntu ?  im getting errors when trying to set mine up.
[03:23] <nahi-> PurpZeY,  im on wired now
[03:23] <Frogzoo> nahi-: thanks for sharing your ping trace
[03:23] <axel_s> mc44, thanks!
[03:23] <frank_> ewanm89: eh one sec, i already deleted the recording and my brother theft my headset, but this afternoon i'll have it back
[03:23] <frank_> ewanm89: are you regularly here in this channel?
[03:23] <Myrtti> \o/
[03:23] <PurpZeY> nahi-: Goto system --> admin --> network
[03:23] <nahi-> Frogzoo, yw :)
[03:24] <brylie> I gave an xUbuntu minimal disk to somebody and he installed it. how  do we get a display manager [gdm?]  to start when he boots his computer?
[03:24] <PurpZeY> nahi-: And wireless is an option, yeah?
[03:24] <ewanm89> frank_: Yes, but I suggest recording it in audacity in the first place.
[03:24] <nahi-> PurpZeY,  its built in the laptop
[03:24] <zek> Anyways my big question is how to install ubuntu on my parents dell dim. when it is as slow as a dead sloth and it freezes every time i load a program.  I am using livecd
[03:24] <RabidWeezle> how can I set the gtk window border to a different color? I have tried multiple themes, but the active border stays blue
[03:24] <PurpZeY> nahi-: And you've rebooted recently since all this?
[03:24] <nahi-> PurpZeY,  yes
[03:24] <forever> im trying to install ipodlinux in my ipod, but i found an error when i type the command in terminal appears me an error: ./ipodpatcher --scan
[03:24] <frank_> ewanm89: alright, thank you. I'll come back to you, ok?
[03:25] <nahi-> PurpZeY,  one min leme conf it manually
[03:25] <PurpZeY> And I take it you are talking to me on this computer, so if you unplug it you get disconnected?
[03:25] <nahi-> PurpZeY,  yes i do :)
[03:25] <ewanm89> frank_: If I'm still around.
[03:25] <PurpZeY> Can someone else help out a bit with this wireless issue?
[03:26] <nahi-> brb leme try to connect again
[03:26] <PurpZeY> nahi-: I mean, I'm sort of stumped, b/c it seems like you are connected.
[03:26] <forever> im trying to install ipodlinux in my ipod, but i found an error when i type the command in terminal appears me an error: ./ipodpatcher --scan
[03:26] <thyazide> WOW! im so behind.... lol
[03:26] <forever> i need help to install ipodlinux
[03:26] <thyazide> 65 updates....
[03:26] <zek> i could really use help. I need to have it installed today.  Their xp os has junkware they never removed + possibly adware................... etc.  They want me to install feisty because my comp works so they can use the internet, etc.
[03:26] <forever> can anybody help me to install ipodlinux pls?
[03:26] <mc44> zek: whats the problem?
[03:27] <PurpZeY> zek: what's the issue?
[03:27] <zek> i cant load the livecd and use the install program
[03:27] <zek> for some reason
[03:27] <RabidWeezle> changing color of window border of an active window, does anyone know how?
[03:27] <PurpZeY> zek: what happens when you try to get into gnome on the livecd?
[03:27] <brylie> what file do I append gdm.start to in order for it to start when the computer is turned on
[03:28] <Ng> RabidWeezle: not offhand, but if you search google for making metacity themes, you should find something :)
[03:28] <Ng> brylie: gdm should be started automatically when you boot, it should have a symlink in /etc/rc2.d/
[03:28] <zek> PurpZeY: it takes about 5min + to load. It freezes when i dblclick on the install
[03:28] <mc44> zek: how old is the computer? :)
[03:28] <PurpZeY> zek: You can try the alternate install CD. or if it's an old machine use xfce
[03:28] <zek> about 2 years it is newer than mine
[03:29] <zek> and livecd worked fine on mine
[03:29] <zek> both are dell dim.
[03:29] <brylie> Ng, I gave somebody the wrong install disk and it installed a text ased system.. no xfce
[03:29] <tritium> !enter > zek
[03:29] <PurpZeY> zek: That is bizarre....You can try the alternate CD.
[03:30] <zek> tritium: what 3H
[03:30] <zek> PurpZeY: can i install it from the boot page
[03:30] <tritium> zek: 3H?
[03:30] <mc44> zek: no, you need a different CD
[03:30] <zek> tritium is 3H u know 1 proton 2 neutrons
[03:31] <zek> an isotope of hydrogen
[03:31] <mc44> zek: shame superscript doesn't work on irc :)
[03:31] <zek> i know
[03:31] <brylie> I have installed command line only system before and didn't know [after apt-get install xfce]  how to get the window manager to start with the computer
[03:31] <tritium> zek: no, that's deuterium.
[03:32] <tritium> 3 neutrons...
[03:32] <mc44> tritium: no, 3H is tritium
[03:32] <zek> no its not
[03:32] <mc44> tritium: normal H has no neutrons
[03:32] <nahi-> :(
[03:32] <nahi-> nothing wa3
[03:32] <zek> yeah if u use it as a screen name know what it means
[03:32] <nahi-> PurpZeY,  even on manual conf its not working
[03:32] <PurpZeY> nahi-: It's sort of beyond me, I mean, iwconfig shows you are connected.
[03:33] <tritium> zek: take it easy
[03:33] <PurpZeY> nahi-: your iwconfig is identical to mine.
[03:33] <nahi-> its saying activating device and freez on 28%
[03:33] <zek> tritium: what did you mean by your comment
[03:33] <PurpZeY> tritium: Maybe you can help him out a bit? His card is all configured, iwconfig is returning his ESSID and all that, but he can't actually connect. . .
[03:33] <tritium> zek: the original one?  PLease avoid hitting enter instead of punctuation
[03:34] <zek> tritium: !enter > zek
[03:34] <zek> that one
[03:34] <nahi-> PurpZeY,  my router is d-link
[03:34] <tritium> !enter | zek
[03:34] <ubotu> zek: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[03:34] <nahi-> is there anything i should conf in it maybe ?
[03:34] <mc44> zek: he is saying, please type in paragraphs and sentences, rather than pressing the enter key every two words
[03:34] <tritium> zek: see ubotu's response above
[03:34] <tawooh> question: i have mounted a new drive to my computer and the fstab file is set for rw, user... yet the system will not let me access the drive for read/write, anyone know what might cause this??
[03:34] <forever> plsss help me, i want to use this command: ./ipodpatcher --scan
[03:34] <sainzeo> does anyone know where the icons are located for the weather applet?
[03:35] <mc44> tawooh: what is the file system?
[03:35] <PurpZeY> nahi-: I am honestly stumped on the issue...I mean, I figured once you got the drivers all set it would be no worries...The card is clearly recognizing the network, so the card is working..you said it's no security, so I just dn't get it.
[03:35] <tawooh> etc3 i belive, but let me check
[03:35] <forever> how to use it: ./ipodpatcher --scan
[03:35] <PurpZeY> nahi-: I am sure someone here can help you, I know you are just one easy step away. I just don't know what that step is.
[03:35] <forever> im trying to install ipodlinux
[03:36] <PurpZeY> forever: No one is ignoring you...I just think no one knows.
[03:36] <zek> well why didn't you say so instead of using obscure symbols. you could have told me in a paragraph. /n
[03:36] <nahi-> heheh PurpZeY  yes well sanx a lot thow u helped me...
[03:36] <brylie> I'm trying to help somebody put Ubuntu on their system. Right now they have a command line system which doesn't help them much. It is a lightweight computer so would gnome be ok or would xfce be better and how does he get the display manager to start automatically when he powers up his PC?
[03:36] <zek> jk tritium
[03:36] <tawooh> mc44: ext3 file system...
[03:36] <PurpZeY> nahi-: If you just lay low on the chan for a few minutes someone can probably help.
[03:37] <zek> why is that your screen name
[03:37] <forever> ok man
[03:37] <nahi-> PurpZeY,  yup i will
[03:37] <PurpZeY> nahi-: Meanwhile, I will look it up a bit.
[03:37] <nahi-> PurpZeY,  sanx :)
[03:37] <LordTureis> brylie: so what you have installed now is the server edition of ubuntu?
[03:37] <sainzeo> does anyone know where the icons are located that the ubuntu weather applet uses?
[03:37] <ubuntu-rocks> what permissions do you usually set on user scripts?
[03:37] <MenZa> brylie: Xfce is a good, light-weight alternative to Gnome.
[03:38] <PurpZeY> nahi-: Just explain your problem to the channel periodically and I'm sure someone can help.
[03:38] <brylie> no xubuntu, LordTureis. I accidentally gave him a minimal install.
[03:38] <Memories> Hello everyone!
[03:38] <LordTureis> brylie: sudo apt-get install xubuntu
[03:38] <Memories> how are you all
[03:38] <Memories> i'm facing trouble with my Genius scanner on edgy!
[03:38] <zek> Does anyone know what the server version of edubutu includes. Does it have gnome or kde etc...
[03:38] <nahi-> PurpZeY, i was happy that i got rid of windows
[03:38] <tritium> zek: that's what ubotu is for.  You should have gotten a query from him.
[03:39] <brylie> LordTureis, and that will auto-configure x for him and set it to start with his PC LordTureis ?
[03:39] <Memories> after plugging it in i got Xsane runing, where it detected it in the list! when i pressed on ok
[03:39] <Memories> it gave me this error : error failed to open device `gt68xx:libusb:002:004':invalid argument.
[03:39] <nahi-> im facing a problem with my wireless pci built in card its identified and i can see the wireless network but for some reasons i cant connect to it
[03:39] <brylie> hehe I double said your name
[03:39] <LordTureis> brylie: it should.  we'll help you through it if it doesn't
[03:39] <zek> tritium: what is ubotu
[03:40] <tritium> zek, mc44: yes, I was not thinking clearly earlier
[03:40] <brylie> ok cool i'll give him a call
[03:40] <thai> Hi everybody, what is the popular / powerful irc client on feisty? I'd like to join some chat rooms on irc.freenode.net
[03:40] <tritium> zek: he's our bot in this channel
[03:40] <PurpZeY> zek: It's a bot on the channel that says things so nobody has to type.
[03:40] <forever> i need to use chmod to don t get permitions error, anybody help me?
[03:40] <forever> i get permition denied error
[03:40] <PurpZeY> nahi-: I just don't understand, b/c it LOOKS like it's connected.
[03:40] <MenZa> LordTureis: sure he doesn't want xubuntu-desktop?
[03:40] <tawooh> what is the command to run the file browser from term??
[03:40] <MenZa> nautilus <folder> tawooh
[03:40] <Hor|zon> tawooh, nautilus
[03:40] <nahi-> PurpZeY,  yup but its not
[03:40] <zek> wait. what do you mean?
[03:40] <LordTureis> MenZa: oh right ! sry
[03:41] <thai> tawooh: i think firefox
[03:41] <forever> anybody help me to use chmod coz i have permitions denied error
[03:41] <Memories> error failed to open device `gt68xx:libusb:002:004':invalid argument. <<== wht does this error stand for ?!
[03:41] <MenZa> thai, that's the webbrowser, not the file browser.
[03:41] <LordTureis> brylie: xubuntu-desktop !! not just xubuntu!
[03:41] <thai> forever: sudo chmod
[03:41] <forever> ok
[03:41] <Frogzoo> !permissions | forever
[03:41] <MenZa> forever: what are you trying to do? Make a file executable or what?
[03:41] <brylie> LordTureis, ah yea.. ok :)
[03:41] <zek> are questions about edubuntu allowed on this channel or will that generate more irate responses directed toward me?
[03:41] <ubotu> forever: 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
[03:42] <tawooh> would it cause a problem to access the drive using sudo nautilus to read/write??
[03:42] <LordTureis> brylie: k.  Thought perhaps you'd already left
[03:42] <MenZa> tawooh: you're using the ntfs-3g driver?
[03:42] <thai> what's the popular / powerful irc client on feisty? can anybody help me?
[03:42] <Frogzoo> tawooh: don't do sudo nautilus
[03:42] <LordTureis> thai: what are you using now?
[03:42] <PurpZeY> nahi-: Just so I can keep looking, what is it exactly that network manager tells you?
[03:42] <MenZa> thai: xchat if you want a guy, irssi if you want a terminal client
[03:42] <tritium> thai: irssi and xchat
[03:42] <MenZa> gui*
[03:42] <thai> feisty
[03:42] <forever> im trying to execute a file
[03:42] <ewanm89> thai: Graphical? Or CLI?
[03:42] <nahi-> PurpZeY,  conifguring device
[03:42] <Hor|zon> irssi > x-chat if you can get over the learning curve
[03:43] <MenZa> forever: sudo chmod +x <filename>
[03:43] <thai> thanks, i'll try it
[03:43] <LordTureis> thai: technically I"m using gaim
[03:43] <LordTureis> pidgin
[03:43] <Hor|zon> eew
[03:43] <LordTureis> heh
[03:43] <MenZa> tawooh: if you do want to open nautilus with root permissions, do gksudo nautilus, not just sudo
[03:43] <forever> i want to run iPodPatcher
[03:43] <tawooh> why should i not use sudo nautilus to write to a drive that won't let me write to it any other way??
[03:43] <ikaroweb> #j ubuntu-it
[03:43] <tawooh> gotcha
[03:43] <zek> Are questions about edubuntu allowed?
[03:44] <MenZa> tawooh: well, you could create an fstab entry for it, which would give your regular user permission, if setup properly
[03:44] <MenZa> !fstab
[03:44] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[03:44] <MenZa> also
[03:44] <MenZa> !mount
[03:44] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[03:44] <tawooh> i did creat the fstab entry...
[03:44] <nahi-> PurpZeY, its using a 169.* ip but the wired is on 192.*
[03:45] <MenZa> 192.x.x.x is local, nahi-
[03:45] <PurpZeY> nahi-: Try using wifi radar instead of network manager
[03:45] <roland> hi
[03:45] <nahi-> MenZa,  yes local to connect to my wireless
[03:45] <nahi-> PurpZeY, okay leme install it
[03:45] <bolt> Can I somehow prevent the keyring thing from showing up, asking for my password? I have the same password on my keyring/login, and I want it to use that one.
[03:45] <PurpZeY> nahi-: Some of these pages are saying that it worked for them.
[03:45] <roland> i have some webmin problem i get Error - Access denied for 192.168.0.3 when trying to acces webmin running on a server here
[03:45] <tawooh> /dev/hdb1       /mnt/drive      ext3    rw,user        0       0
[03:45] <tawooh> that is the fstab entry for the drive in question...
[03:46] <MenZa> tawooh: ooh, ext3. I'm not really that apt with ext3 flags, but give me a second
[03:46] <nahi-> PurpZeY, im trying wifi radar
[03:47] <tawooh> and this UUID crap is quite annoying
[03:47] <Frogzoo> !uuid
[03:47] <ubotu> To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell:  blkid  (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[03:48] <nephilim> can please anyone help me reinstall lilo after i reput winblows ?
[03:49] <MenZa> that is pretty weird, tawooh
[03:49] <tawooh> gksudo nautilus then??
[03:50] <tawooh> what would a noauto option added to that drive do?? i forget...
[03:50] <nephilim> I have an UBUBTU 7.04
[03:50] <ubuntu-rocks> how come I can't run "crontab -e"? I get "error reading /home/user1/.nano_history:permission denied"
[03:50] <nephilim> ... somebody ?
[03:51] <ubuntu-rocks> how do I setup crontab? for the user or for root using sudo?
[03:51] <PurpZeY> !root
[03:51] <ubotu> do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[03:52] <ubuntu-rocks> i've disabled the root account
[03:53] <nephilim> can I rewrite my lilo in mbr ? with the ubuntu CD ?
[03:53] <vakosel> hi all ! new to the community .. i run ubuntu 7.04 on virtual box. i installed VBadditions and after using VBoxManage to make a shared folder( till now everything ok ) when i try to mount my shared folder with : moutn _t  vboxsf   "shardfolder" /mnt/share  i get an error:   /sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: No such device
[03:53] <nahi-> PurpZeY,  activation stage: configuring device 28% and it halts!!
[03:54] <PurpZeY> nahi-: On wifi radar too?
[03:54] <vakosel> any idea?
[03:54] <nahi-> i didn't install wifi radar
[03:54] <nahi-> i just prismstumper
[03:54] <kimmey> How may I have writepermissions to my removeable usd-disks?
[03:55] <kimmey> I only get read when I put the usb-cable in :-P
[03:55] <nahi-> PurpZeY,  no wifi radar
[03:55] <PurpZeY> try wifi radar
[03:55] <nahi-> swscanner
[03:55] <nahi-> im installing that
[03:55] <iFries> I have a problem with my azureus. If i launch it it starts up, and when the program shows up it flashes and it disappears. Is there a way to see if it is running or that it is crashed ?
[03:56] <no0b> Hey guys

[03:56] <ubotu> Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer
[03:56] <no0b> could someone tell me a program so that I can create PDF's?
[03:56] <kimmey> openoffie can
[03:56] <PurpZeY> nahi-: I am going to have a cigarette. It appears that this may be a known issue, but the two recommended solutions are to try to set it up manual...OR use wifi radar
[03:56] <iFries> no0b: OpenOffice.org

[03:59] <spheard>  iwconfig wlan0 mode master - this sets my laptop as a wireless accesspoint. Will I need to set up dhcp too?
[03:59] <Toaster> XD
[04:00] <zek> tritium i never got a response about why you chose that as a screen name

[04:01] <aMMuNix> close synaptic?
[04:01] <dougalater> slave hard drive mount and permissions problem<<< can some one poit me in the right direction?
[04:01] <no0b> How cool is that? you don't pay anything for this open office.org programs, and you can save as PDF. Yet, on windows, you need a program to save as PDF and it will cost you $200+.
[04:01] <no0b> xD ubuntu rules
[04:01] <aMMuNix> it does no0b :)
[04:01] <spheard> if I set my laptop as a wireless accesspoint. Will I need to set up dhcp too?
[04:02] <aMMuNix> can someone go through installing the bleeding edged version of gstreamer with me? (from where to get source till using the program)? or at least some of the stuff I wouldn't be able to do myself?
[04:02] <cygnus128> spheard: that depends on whether you mind statically assigning IPs to client machines

[04:03] <|Buck|> anyone help
[04:03] <nahi-> synaptic
[04:03] <cygnus128> nahi-: you must have some other process that does something with packages
[04:03] <no0b> do you have another terminal open? or is the system updating?
[04:03] <aMMuNix> yes synaptic, the package manager
[04:03] <cygnus128> synaptic, dselect, etc
[04:03] <no0b> restart
[04:03] <nahi-> cygnus128, first time on linux.
[04:03] <no0b> then try again

[04:03] <cygnus128> nahi-: yeah, restart is the simplest
[04:04] <nahi-> okay brb
[04:04] <aMMuNix> can someone go through installing the bleeding edged version of gstreamer with me? (from where to get source till using the program)? or at least some of the stuff I wouldn't be able to do myself?
[04:04] <dougalater> lol when all else fails.restart
[04:04] <cygnus128> |Buck|: do you have the root password?
[04:04] <|Buck|> cygnus128: I never set a password for root
[04:04] <no0b> does anyone have troubles when they put the os on stand by?
[04:04] <no0b> when I go to turn it back on, I get nothing.
[04:04] <cygnus128> |Buck|: you should still be able to start in single user mode and fix up your /etc/group
[04:05] <Dianora> hello
[04:05] <dougalater> mine tends to just shut down noob
[04:05] <Buck> cygnus128: how do I start in single user mode?
[04:05] <Dianora> ok
[04:05] <no0b> mine just does nothing, no splash screen, no nothing
[04:05] <no0b> everytime same thing
[04:05] <dougalater> weird.
[04:05] <no0b> I have learnt too leave stand by alone
[04:05] <dougalater> mine keeps sayin i cant access or write ot my slave
[04:05] <cygnus128> Buck: well, it has been awhile since i had to do that..since the lilo days so with grub i am not sure of the exact steps
[04:06] <olivier> Hello! Is there anyone with experience with Wine or Cedega? I'm trying to run Guild Wars, I worked on it alot and the most I got out of Ubuntu is to load it with Wine, but it is so laggy that it will be unplayable...
[04:06] <Buck> cygnus128: I'l'l find out.. thank you
[04:06] <cygnus128> when the machine first starts up there should be some way of getting a boot console
[04:06] <no0b> I had too do a fsdk I think at one stage
[04:06] <ubuntu-rocks> i'm trying to redirect the output of commands run with sudo, here is my command from a script. sudo usr/bin/java -jar /home/user1/demo.jar /dev/ttyS0 jdbc:mysql://servername/user1 users1 password & >> /home/user1/test.log
[04:06] <Buck> olivier: guild wars is very graphically intense, you probably won't be able to run it properly
[04:06] <cygnus128> at the grub console you will type linux single
[04:06] <nephilim> no0b	xD ubuntu rules <- lol and this distro i maybe the hardest to make a clean install, without problems, and there is no recovery solution
[04:06] <nephilim> thanks anyway
[04:06] <aMMuNix> olivier #winehq might get you better responses
[04:06] <nephilim> keep ... whatever you doing
[04:06] <tritium> nephilim: huh?
[04:06] <PurpZeY> aMMuNix: I was just AFK for a minute...I was helping nahi- with his wireless...the drivers are installed and everything wiconfig returns as if he is connected...but networkmanager just keeps returning "configuring" so I suggested wifi-radar, but if it doesn't work, I'm not sure what else to tell him.
[04:06] <cygnus128> Buck: but googling grub single user should do it
[04:07] <no0b> eh?
[04:07] <olivier> Thanks!
[04:07] <no0b> put the cd in and type in fsdk (i think)
[04:07] <no0b> there's you recovery
[04:07] <no0b> r
[04:08] <aMMuNix> PurpZeY sorry I don't know much about networks\wireless
[04:08] <PurpZeY> aMMuNix: It's no worries, I just feel bad....
[04:08] <dougalater> do i have to tell my comp the IP of a seperate router conneted to my ethernet hub if i wanna ftp to something?
[04:08] <m1r> purpzey , which wlan card =?
[04:08] <thyazide> I've attempted to force my system to boot into 1280x1024 by editing my xorg.conf to include the resolution, but for some reason the new beta driver from nvidia that's compatible with my 8600 gfx card refuses to use the res... I'm stuck in 1024x768, when i know this monitor works in 1280x1024... any suggestions?\
[04:09] <PurpZeY> m1r: a prism, I have the exact model if I scroll up...I found a guide, I helped him with the drivers and it is recognizing properly.
[04:09] <PurpZeY> m1r: http://www.nomorepasting.com/paste.php?pasteID=80858
[04:09] <m1r> kk sec
[04:10] <no0b> Ok people, you all take care right-eo/peace =D
[04:10] <dougalater> lata noob
[04:10] <CesarAndreu> hey, I'm on Ubuntu and I want to know, is there any way to make my memory stick like a second partition or something to continue this partition?
[04:10] <cygnus128> ross: so YOU are the one who has the username that i want ;)
[04:10] <CesarAndreu> It's an SD card and I have it 100% empty =/..
[04:10] <gilo1> thyazide, check your xorg.conf and see if you have vertical and horizontal sync settings
[04:11] <Fylk> Hey, some one want to help me with configuring grub?
[04:11] <thyazide> one second...
[04:11] <m1r> purpzey
[04:11] <m1r> can i pm you ?
[04:12] <dedi> i delete files (via console, not trash) and dont get free space? :S
[04:12] <PurpZeY> absolutely.
[04:12] <ross> cygnus128: its not registered so I'll probably get D/C soon :)
[04:12] <OracleGD> Where the bitches at my niggas?
[04:12] <karrotx> nice
[04:13] <karrotx> that was a very fast response
[04:13] <ross> lol
[04:13] <ross> owned
[04:13] <karrotx> is tritium a bot?
[04:13] <tritium> karrotx: ;)
[04:13] <tritium> no, karrotx
[04:13] <karrotx> damn
[04:13] <karrotx> nice work
[04:13] <tritium> I just happen to be at the airport, waiting for my plane, with nothing to do but watch :)
[04:13] <ross> lmao
[04:13] <karrotx> haha
[04:13] <ross> thats classic
[04:14] <ross> does anyone else think  that x-chat is buggy?
[04:14] <ross> it crashes heaps for me
[04:14] <preem_> i use x-chat, doesnt crash
[04:14] <ross> particularly when adding new servers and connecting etc
[04:14] <ross> hmm odd
[04:14] <ross> for me, sometimes the window just closes
[04:14] <preem_> bu, how many networks are you connected to ?
[04:15] <zek> tritium i never got a response about why you chose that as a screen name
[04:15] <ross> I had it set to auto-connect to Ubuntu Server initially, I removed that connection
[04:15] <ross> and then it closed
[04:15] <tritium> zek: I never saw your question.
[04:15] <preem_> strange
[04:15] <tatters> How do I get KDE start menu to scroll rather than expand it's lists.....
[04:15] <zek> now u have
[04:15] <preem_> i have it auto-connect on 2 networks, and it doesnt crash
[04:15] <tritium> zek: long story
[04:16] <thyazide> http://www.nomorepasting.com/paste.php?pasteID=80863 <== heres the section of my xorg.conf for the resolutions
[04:16] <ross> I'm not sure, maybe it's something I'm doing wrong :s
[04:16] <ross> while I'm here
[04:16] <zek> tritium:  im installing edubuntu i have time if you want to tell it.
[04:16] <preem_> eh, what can u be doing wrong :P it proly depends on several things we just cant think off atm .P
[04:16] <ross> did anyone else have to use the nvidia config tool after installing the restricted drivers to get decent performance in Feisty?
[04:16] <gilo1> thyazide lets see your monitor section
[04:16] <tritium> zek: nah, it's offtopic, and I'm about to board a plane
[04:17] <ross> I needed to get the nvidia tool to reset my x config to nvidia standards before it all worked sweetly
[04:17] <ubuntu-rocks> anyone care to take a gander at my last post about Redirecting the output of commands run with sudo?
[04:17] <selutha> so quick question I am running an intel 920 pentium D, If i remember right that allows me to run 64-bit. Which brings the question should i move to 64 or is 32 still the way? I have less than 4 gig of ram
[04:17] <ross> preem_: yep, I'll try and get a consistent crash occuring first
[04:17] <karrotx> sudo ls &> taco.txt
[04:17] <thyazide> http://www.nomorepasting.com/paste.php?pasteID=80864
[04:18] <preem_> ross: kk, then file a bug report i:)
[04:18] <zek> tritium: ok i just wanted to know why you didnt choose deuterium
[04:18] <ross> preem_: will do, thanks :)
[04:18] <spikeb> selutha: 32
[04:18] <ubuntu-rocks> this is my command which doesn't output to my log file. sudo usr/bin/java -jar /home/user1/demo.jar /dev/ttyS0 jdbc:mysql://servername/user1 users1 password & >> /home/user1/test.log
[04:18] <tatters> hmm kopoete crashed on me again,tis a pain in the proverbials
[04:18] <preem_> no probs mate
[04:18] <PurpZeY> nahi-: Any luck?
[04:18] <zek> or triton
[04:18] <preem_> ubuntu-rocks: permissions probs ?
[04:18] <nahi-> back downloading wifi-radar
[04:19] <bdunn> Can anyone tell me how to get around the 1.4TB limit on a partition?
[04:19] <nahi-> PurpZeY,  need a few mins to finish wifi-radar
[04:19] <PurpZeY> nahi-: Ok, someone else is helping me a bit some, we are working on it.
[04:19] <ross> that compiz maximize bug in feisty is a real pain
[04:19] <ross> anyone know when a fix is going to be released?
[04:19] <PurpZeY> nahi-: Don't go too far...=)
[04:19] <aMMuNix> what bug ross?
[04:19] <nahi-> okay PurpZeY  most greatful
[04:19] <gilo1> I would verify those number, they look really low.  Setting those to the proper numbers fixed mine so I could go to 1680x1050
[04:19] <nahi-> i think its finish leme try
[04:19] <ubuntu-rocks> this command i posted is in a script in the user directory and i'm not sure how to check for a permission problem
[04:19] <PurpZeY> nahi-: No problem, I love these sorts of things. . .
[04:19] <PurpZeY> nahi-: As bizarre as that is.
[04:19] <thyazide> ok
[04:19] <ross> Bug #83399
[04:20] <nahi-> PurpZeY,  i love tcl problems
[04:20] <nahi-> lol
[04:20] <ross> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/83399
[04:20] <nahi-> i think i need to reboot
[04:20] <spheard> Has anyone got a sample dhcpd configuration file? I cant find one anywhere.
[04:20] <preem_> ubuntu-rocks: are u executing the command with same user as in which folder ur trying to output, so user1?
[04:20] <thyazide> i think whats in there was a default auto generated config when i was having some problems with nvidia drivers a while back... might be whats causing it
[04:20] <aMMuNix> cause I'm having a bug with the title bar too when maximized
[04:20] <nahi-> rebooting brb
[04:20] <zek> So anybody gotten a Dell Ubuntu
[04:20] <aMMuNix> not same thing, nevermind
[04:20] <spheard> zek Ive got a dell ubuntu
[04:20] <ubuntu-rocks> preem - yes
[04:21] <pikeshouse88> what specs spheard
[04:21] <ross> aMMuNix: no worries
[04:21] <ross> aMMuNix: the bug report says its been fixed in a newer ver
[04:21] <ross> aMMuNix: but I'm unsure as to when that will be released
[04:21] <ubuntu-rocks> the command works just that i am not getting the test.log file populated
[04:21] <gilo1> supposedly feisty has a problem with detecting your monitor properly and that's what is causing the nvidia drivers to fail and not work at higher resolutions.  I found an article on the ubuntu forums after I had reinstalled the nvidia drivers multiple times.
[04:21] <aMMuNix> wait ross, it's the bug where the titlebar is unclickable? it clicks the thing behind him?
[04:21] <zek> what graphics card. spheard
[04:21] <ross> aMMuNix: yes
[04:21] <ross> aMMuNix: thats the one
[04:21] <ross> aMMuNix: you cant minimize it unless you right click in the taskbar
[04:21] <aMMuNix> ross, then that's the one I'm having! really really annoying
[04:21] <dedi> i delete files (via console, not trash) and dont get free space?
[04:22] <preem_> ubuntu-rocks does the file exists ?
[04:22] <ross> aMMuNix: I know, the fixes dont work properly either
[04:22] <spheard> pikeshouse88: zek. fraid its not one of their ones, :-) but I think Im going to get one in a couple of weeks
[04:22] <ross> aMMuNix: unless you can live with wobbly windows
[04:22] <ross> aMMuNix: or a beta build of compiz
[04:22] <preem_> if not, try 1. create empty file, or 2. output with ">" not ">>"
[04:22] <karrotx> ubuntu-rocks: i dont know what you were doing wrong with your command but "sudo ls &> taco.txt" works
[04:22] <aMMuNix> ross, does the same with wobbly to me
[04:22] <aMMuNix> plus
[04:22] <aMMuNix> ross, I found that after moving (using alt) it fixes, temporarily

[04:23] <ubuntu-rocks> the test.log file exist
[04:23] <aMMuNix> bah
[04:23] <ross> wobbly does fix it for me, but its so irritating
[04:23] <aMMuNix> not here :\, happens less often, but still happens
[04:23] <ross> its a bug that should've been picked up earlier
[04:23] <ross> because it affects functionality so badly
[04:23] <ross> I'd actually prefer just to have compiz without any plugins
[04:23] <ross> as long as it works
[04:23] <preem_> hm strange, ubutnu-rocks, change chmod 777 if not already
[04:23] <zek> I wanted to know if they had drivers for the printers and graphics cards
[04:23] <preem_> then im out of ideas :P
[04:24] <ubuntu-rocks> preem, tried that already :)
[04:24] <preem_> :s
[04:24] <preem_> sry then mate,
[04:24] <ross> well, I gotta get going
[04:24] <ross> uni tomorrow morning

[04:24] <preem_> np
[04:24] <aMMuNix> can someone show me how to download latest source files from CVS and install them? (gstreamer)
[04:25] <tritium> zek: are you registered?  I queried you.
[04:25] <tarzeau> aMMuNix: you'd take the current gstreamer debian source package, and make an update from the cvs version
[04:25] <tarzeau> aMMuNix: www.linuks.mine.nu/irc/debian-packaging/
[04:26] <aMMuNix> tarzeau, will that link explain step-by-step?
[04:26] <aMMuNix> tarzeau, I'm still pretty new

[04:36] <carlos_> how can I config two monitors on ubuntu ?
[04:36] <JJ_Offshore> hi
[04:36] <brian1> carlos_: i have the same question, can anyone help us?
[04:37] <tuskernini> PurpZeY: killx command not found... i cant see firefox.. it just says it is still running in ps -e | grep firefox
[04:37] <DJ-_-> man!! i got dc lol
[04:37] <carlos_> brian1, I found information in google but it does not work
[04:37] <DJ-_-> and took me a while to figure it out...did not know till it showed ctcp received dj-_1 lol
[04:38] <Soth> tuskernini> kill, not killx
[04:38] <carlos_> brian1, you must config /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:38] <Scunizi> carlos_, brian1 You can find info on dual monitors here.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaMultiMonitors?highlight=%28monitors%29
[04:38] <brian1> carlos_: ah,  I'll check that out
[04:39] <DJ-_-> btw I am on sourceforge and on gparted downloads
[04:39] <Malachi> How can I format a flash drive?
[04:39] <DJ-_-> Malachi use fdisk
[04:39] <DJ-_-> on terminal try man fdisk
[04:39] <DJ-_-> must help you out a bit
[04:39] <tuskernini> Soth: haha.. and i did not think that...
[04:40] <Malachi> DJ, I can probably figure it out, but what about someone who needs a GUI?
[04:40] <Malachi> Anywhere  I can point them?
[04:40] <brian1> Schunizi: Thanks, that looks helpfull
[04:40] <DJ-_-> oh
[04:40] <DJ-_-> Gparted :D
[04:40] <Malachi> Okay, thanks.
[04:40] <DJ-_-> thats what i just heard from someone here
[04:40] <DJ-_-> np
[04:40] <carlos_> Scunizi, does it work ? even when we don't have nvidia card ?
[04:40] <tuskernini> Soth: echo $? returned 0 but the process is not killed...
[04:41] <Scunizi> carlos_.  nope.. what do you have?
[04:41] <NET||abuse> Hi all, i'm having an absolute nightmare with my wifi... i have an atheros based internal wifi card, so it's using madwifi, but the system will not maintain the connection,
[04:42] <NET||abuse> my laptop is being rendered virtually unusable because of this goddamn error..
[04:42] <carlos_> Scunizi, Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller
[04:42] <nahi-> PurpZeY,  kdelint coult not launch gksudo could not find gksudo executable
[04:42] <brian1> When I try and open synaptic and I get
[04:42] <brian1> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[04:42] <brian1> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[04:42] <brian1> And when when I open up the terminal and run that nothing happens. Can any help me out?
[04:42] <PurpZeY> nahi-: Ok, I think I have a fix.
[04:43] <nahi-> okay :)
[04:43] <Rex_> good morning all...
[04:43] <Dr_willis> brian1,  ya used a 'sudo' at the front of the command?
[04:43] <fm> good afternoon
[04:43] <nahi-> Rex_,  morning :)
[04:43] <dbrewer_rjr> how can i get netstat to show me the port number instead of the service name when i -tap or -tnp? it just says *.smtp
[04:43] <brian1> yes
[04:43] <Scunizi> carlos_,  and it has two outputs?  or is it a laptop?  either way it should work just not with the nVidia setup..
[04:44] <brian1> Dr_willis: Yes, and after that It asked for the password which I entered and then it told me it was wrong. I continued to try, but it still told me it was wrong
[04:44] <Rex_> does anyone know how to install gDesklets? I have copied them to ~./gDesklets. The question is now, how to get them on my desktop.
[04:44] <fm> can somebody tell me where to change the settings of the gnome spellcheckers that spellchecks everything but doesn't have any menu I could find
[04:44] <carlos_> Scunizi, it is a laptop, and it has an aoutput to conect a external monitor
[04:44] <Dr_willis> brian1,  you are using the proper (sudo user, the first user's) password?
[04:44] <gilo1> try a netstat -an
[04:44] <Scunizi> carlos_, if it's not already installed you'll need the 915resolution driver that's in synaptic, then you'll have to configure xorg.conf by hand.
[04:44] <dbrewer_rjr> how do i know what port smtp is running on?
[04:44] <DJ-_1> why am i getting disconnected?
[04:45] <Scunizi> carlos_, there's lots of post on that on www.ubuntuforums.org (how to configure by hand)
[04:45] <modulus> i have a problem with ubuntu 7.04. it can't produce more than one sound at a time, although i have it set for alsa and software mixing is activated.
[04:45] <PurpZeY> nahi-: First, open the black list again, you need command line?
[04:45] <nahi-> PurpZeY,  i ran wifi-radar from root it worked :)
[04:45] <nahi-> i have it
[04:45] <PurpZeY> nahi-: Wait, so wifi-radar works?
[04:45] <nahi-> from root console
[04:45] <DJ-_-> why is freenode disconnecting me?
[04:45] <brian1> Dr_willis: Yes, I'm using admin password
[04:45] <gilo1> DJ-_- left the room (quit: Nick collision from services.).
[04:46] <DJ-_-> no before that
[04:46] <tuskernini> PurpZeY: killall -9 <processID> did not work... can i try something else? dont want to restart
[04:46] <Dr_willis> brian1,  try opening a root shell with 'sudo -s'
[04:46] <nahi-> nano etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[04:46] <PurpZeY> nahi-: I'm not even sure what to make of that...but, I think we can make it work this way. I was working it a little poorly so. . .
[04:46] <DJ-_-> brb
[04:46] <carlos_> Scunizi, ok thanks, does it exist another solution ? well, because I can see on my external monitor the same thing than my screen laptop
[04:46] <PurpZeY> nahi-: Right, so run that, and then, go to that line you added.
[04:46] <nahi-> PurpZeY,  ur pvt
[04:47] <nahi-> okay
[04:47] <NET||abuse> Does anyone else here use an atheros chip for their wifi? I really really really need a dig out with it here??
[04:47] <nahi-> it opend a new file PurpZeY
[04:47] <brian1> Dr_willis: It's telling me this now: bash: sudu: command not found. Maybe I typed it wrong. I'll try again and then ill try opening a root sheel with 'sudu -s'
[04:47] <nahi-> PurpZeY, nano etc/modprobe.d/blacklist ?
[04:47] <NET||abuse> My laptop is just totally unusable without some kind of modification to the way nm-applet is using it
[04:47] <PurpZeY> if it's a new file, you didn't open the right file.
[04:47] <modulus> does anyone know if festival and/or espeak use alsa or oss sound?
[04:47] <Dr_willis> brian1, 'sudo -a'
[04:48] <PurpZeY> nahi-: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[04:48] <dbrewer_rjr> how do i know what port smtp, pop3, and imap are running on? i am having firewall problems and need to check
[04:48] <brian1> Dr_willis: Okay
[04:48] <Dr_willis> brian1,  err sudo -s
[04:48] <Dr_willis> :)
[04:48] <PurpZeY> nahi-: If you are in a gui, I'd run gedit.
[04:48] <brian1> haha, alright
[04:48] <Scunizi> carlos_ , laptops can be strange.. if you're currently able to view the same thing on both monitors then it sounds like you're ok..If you want different things on each you'll want to look at xinerama and how to use it in xorg.conf.
[04:48] <nahi-> no worries im in
[04:48] <nahi-> what to add ?
[04:48] <fm> where can u switch off the thing that underlines wrong spelled words in red everywhere please?
[04:48] <NET||abuse> I'm in a kitchen with 3 laptops, 2 windows, and my ubuntu laptop, all 3 have been online and the 2 windows ones are online now.. but the ubuntu one continuously drops the connection when it even detects the network.
[04:48] <carlos_> Scunizi, ok thanks
[04:48] <Scunizi> carlos_, xinerama does not depend on your driver
[04:48] <NET||abuse> it is a matter of life and death that i have this laptop online today
[04:49] <PurpZeY> nahi-: Actually, I'd like you to take out that last line we added...We're going to start from the top, but I think it should work this time and take less time.
[04:49] <m1r> abuse
[04:49] <NET||abuse> life and death of a job .. :(
[04:49] <m1r> wlan or lan ?
[04:49] <nahi-> PurpZeY,  okay :)
[04:49] <NET||abuse> m1r: wlan
[04:49] <m1r> pvt ?
[04:49] <carlos_> Scunizi, ok I will search so much more about xinerama
[04:49] <Scunizi> carlos_, it is also a feature of "X" so it's not really a program you download, just a feature you turn on.
[04:49] <NET||abuse> m1r: what's pvt?
[04:49] <brian1> Dr_willis: Now, how do i do what you said?
[04:49] <nahi-> okay when i exit wifi-radar from console it froze
[04:50] <DJ-_-> can anyone help me install Gparted?
[04:50] <nahi-> okay PurpZeY  do i need to reboot ?
[04:50] <Dr_willis> brian1,  that gives you a root shell.  use your commands from there.
[04:50] <gnomefreak> DJ-_-: sudo apt-get install gparted
[04:50] <PurpZeY> nahi-: no. not yet.
[04:50] <gilo1> dbrewer_rjr maybe you're intested in using firestarter?  its a gui for your firewall that has all those pre-defined and you add them by name.
[04:50] <DJ-_-> thanks
[04:50] <PurpZeY> nahi-: So, save that, then run: lsmod | grep orinoco , lsmod | grep hostap , and lsmod | grep prism2
[04:50] <PurpZeY> nahi-: and pastebin that to me
[04:50] <nahi-> okay
[04:50] <ubuntu_> hi
[04:51] <ubuntu_> i m running ubuntu now
[04:51] <dbrewer_rjr> i am having probs with the router firewall. I know all of the predefined settings. port forwarding is not working. i need to know what it thinks it is using.
[04:51] <ubuntu_> and i have a question
[04:51] <DJ-_-> welcome ubuntu_
[04:51] <dbrewer_rjr> gilo1:i am having probs with the router firewall. I know all of the predefined settings. port forwarding is not working. i need to know what it thinks it is using.
[04:51] <PurpZeY> ubuntu_ you've come to the right place.
[04:51] <ubuntu_> would it be advisible to use kubuntu?
[04:51] <gnomefreak> ubuntu_: go ahead and ask if someone knows they will answer you
[04:51] <brian1> Dr_willis: So put this sudu -s 'dpkg --confifure -a'
[04:51] <PurpZeY> ubuntu_: kubuntu and ubuntu are exactly the same, the only difference is the graphical front-end
[04:51] <ubuntu_> i had some troubles trying it, can it be that there are some bugs in it yet?
[04:52] <gnomefreak> ubuntu_: whatever you want. install ubuntu than sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop adn you can use both
[04:52] <modulus> anyone any clue why ubuntu can't play more than 1 sound at a time? alsa, mixing activated, HDA audio card.
[04:52] <gilo1> dbrewer_rjr you should be able to google those.... that's not really a ubuntu question :p
[04:52] <gnomefreak> modulus: as of feisty it can
[04:52] <flukebox> :O
[04:52] <flukebox> hmm
[04:52] <DoubleDiode> /exit

[04:52] <nahi-> PurpZeY,  http://nomorepasting.com/paste.php?pasteID=80867
[04:52] <DJ-_-> gnomefreak why kubuntu desktop?
[04:52] <flukebox> hhasdhfashdfkjha

[04:52] <gnomefreak> DJ-_-: that is the name of kubuntu package
[04:52] <flukebox> nice name :D
[04:52] <dbrewer_rjr> gilo1: it it mos def an ubuntu question. i said i know the derfault ports, no need to look them up!! the defaults are not working and i need to check for an alternate configuration
[04:52] <gnomefreak> flukebox: stop spamming
[04:52] <Dr_willis> brian1,  suDO DO DO ... 'sudo -s' gives you a root terminal, then all commands you enter as ran as root.
[04:52] <flukebox> hee hee
[04:52] <DJ-_-> only the desktop package?
[04:52] <flukebox> ohh hoo
[04:53] <modulus> gnomefreak: mine can't.
[04:53] <nahi-> flukebox,  wich one ? lol the computer?
[04:53] <flukebox> no one is talking to me
[04:53] <gnomefreak> DJ-_-: it installs a bunch of other apps
[04:53] <DJ-_-> ah k
[04:53] <nahi-> or nahi? lol
[04:53] <flukebox> nahi ......nahi is nice name
[04:53] <flukebox> >P
[04:53] <ubuntu_> so there are no known bugs or things in kubuntu and it doesn t matter if i use it or ubuntu?
[04:53] <nahi-> flukebox,  oh sanx thats my real name ;p
[04:53] <gnomefreak> modulus: it can there is something wrong than.
[04:53] <brian1> Dr_willis: Alright, thanks
[04:53] <gnomefreak> !sound | modulus
[04:53] <tuskernini> flukebox: ask your question
[04:53] <ubotu> modulus: 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
[04:53] <flukebox> wow!
[04:53] <flukebox> i have no question :-(
[04:53] <gilo1> dbrewer_rjr sorry, must have missed that, things scroll by so fast in here.
[04:53] <flukebox> i am feeling bored
[04:54] <DJ-_-> umm....I just tried sudo apt-get install gparted its done and now where can i find it
[04:54] <nahi-> flukebox,  lol
[04:54] <ubuntu_> it seemed to me like a kubuntu is a project and not yet perfect
[04:54] <Dr_willis> DJ-_-, try the shell 'sudo gparted'
[04:54] <gnomefreak> flukebox: join #ubuntu-offtopic for random chatter
[04:54] <DJ-_-> uh k
[04:54] <Rex_> flukebox, then maybe you could tell me how to put desklets on my desktop... ;)
[04:54] <dragon> 
[04:54] <DJ-_-> thanks
[04:54] <PurpZeY> nahi-: Ok, so we are going to create a new type blacklist.
[04:54] <gnomefreak> ubuntu_: nothing is perfect. if you have problems with it file bugs
[04:54] <gnomefreak> dragon: english please
[04:54] <dbrewer_rjr> how do i know what port smtp, pop3, and imap are running on? i am having firewall problems and need to check for alternate configuration
[04:54] <nahi-> PurpZeY,  okay:)
[04:55] <modulus> hmm, i'll check those websites, although i've been checking around and zero luck.
[04:55] <DJ-_-> i m beginning to love linux :D
[04:55] <tuskernini> flukebox: ok then you are in the wrong channel... go to #chat or something else... good luck
[04:55] <Dr_willis> #hotLinuxChat
[04:55] <frolle> DJ-_-, glad to hear :)
[04:55] <battlesquid> how can i prevent *something* from putting my screen into standby mode when i'm watching movies etc? it's very annoying... i've looked in system->preferences->screen saver, and that's set to an hour. the screen goes to standby after about 10-15 minutes
[04:55] <tuskernini> Rex_: you still have not been able to do that?
[04:55] <tuskernini> Rex_: did you install it with synaptic?
[04:56] <PurpZeY> nahi-: So, do a sudo gedit (or nano) /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-for-prism
[04:56] <modulus> battlesquid: iirc there's a power management thing, but i forget where
[04:56] <thyazide> YAYA... real resolution!
[04:56] <ubuntu_> gnomefreak so there are the same bugs like in ubuntu if there are bugs. i experienced some difficulties while trying it which i didn t have with ubuntu, thats why i m askin
[04:56] <thyazide> ./dance
[04:56] <Rex_> tuskernini: nope. I grabbed the source from the site.
[04:56] <nahi-> okay PurpZeY  new file
[04:56] <PurpZeY> yup
[04:56] <battlesquid> modulus, i've looked at the normal power management in prefs, it's not that
[04:56] <gnomefreak> ubuntu_: cant help without knowing the issue but try asking in #kubuntu
[04:56] <PurpZeY> nahi-: Is your nick registered?
[04:56] <tuskernini> why dont you just install it via synaptic?
[04:56] <nahi-> PurpZeY, no :(
[04:56] <nahi-> leme do it
[04:56] <gilo1> djbrewer_rjr try making your connections and doing a netstat-an at the same time.
[04:56] <enasni> is there a program i can use that mirrors a window? so it's back-to-front
[04:56] <Rex_> tuskernini: I never thought to check the repos... going to do that now.
[04:57] <ubuntu_> thanks for the help, really quick support here
[04:57] <iratik> I need some guidelines on setting up office networks with ubuntu - perhaps some sort of LDAP setup is what i have in mind, does anyone have any links or places to look for this type of thing?
[04:57] <modulus> hmm, so does anyone actually own an HDA audio card and has it working correctly?
[04:57] <Nahi> okay runatrain  done :)
[04:57] <Nahi> PurpZeY,  done :)
[04:57] <dbrewer_rjr> is there a way to make netstat print the 25 instead of *:smtp? i want it to print *.25 , etc for all services. i have firewall problems
[04:57] <ubuntu_> ah yet another question, is it possible to install linux and after that windows and getting access on my mp3 and movie files from both systems?
[04:58] <ewanm89> modulus: I have a HDA card, working properly, most of the time.
[04:58] <tarzeau> dbrewer_rjr: yes drop -n
[04:58] <gnomefreak> ubuntu_: better to install windows than linux
[04:58] <tuskernini> Rex_: the repos are huge... sometimes you get lucky
[04:58] <tarzeau> dbrewer_rjr: err, add it
[04:58] <modulus> dbrewer_rjr: not sure if it's still there but there used to be a file called /etc/services with port bindings.
[04:58] <ubuntu_> but i can get access on all files from both systems?
[04:58] <tarzeau> modulus: yes but that's not the problem
[04:58] <gnomefreak> ubuntu_: set windows as a fat32 and its fairly easy
[04:59] <YanZh> hi
[04:59] <Rex_> tuskernini: thanks. I am installing the base now. I don't think that contains the applets, but it may help launch the ones I got. THanks for your help.
[04:59] <someperson> hey I am trying to install Ubuntu 7.04 using the live cd and I keep getting an error: cannot access tty: job control off
[04:59] <enasni> is there a program i can use that mirrors a window? so it's back-to-front?
[04:59] <someperson> it works w/ the older version though
[04:59] <gilo1> djrewer_rjr it will have some extra stuff, but just do a netstat -an|grep 25
[04:59] <YanZh> how do you know the uuid of a disk?
[04:59] <modulus> ewanm89: did you do anything special or it worked by itself?
[04:59] <tuskernini> Rex_: hope it works.. good luck.. there are loads of applets
[04:59] <someperson> can anyone help?
[05:00] <modulus> my card does several weird things, namely can't play simultaneous files and at the beginning of playback it makes strange noise.
[05:00] <DJ-_-> i need help
[05:00] <THJ> Is it possible to set up a PXE server that will boot something that will install Ubuntu? I'm thinking either fully or something like debootstrap. Anyone got some helpful pointers?
[05:00] <DJ-_-> I am getting disconnected from freenode all the time
[05:00] <tarzeau> THJ: yes
[05:00] <tarzeau> THJ: you can use debian-installer w/ preseeding, see here:
[05:00] <DJ-_-> so i have to ghost and come back what could be the possible error

[05:07] <tarzeau> pmo: yes
[05:07] <bobstro> i'm having an ssh-add/ssh-agent problem. my first session succeeds (am asked for ssh key passphrase) but second simply hangs. same happens with ssh and putty. same keys on another host work fine.
[05:07] <ewanm89> Moduliz0r: What does "asoundconf list" give?
[05:07] <pmo> to show you tarzeau ?
[05:08] <tarzeau> pmo: yes, maybe just a short one

[05:08] <DJ-_-> ok
[05:08] <pmo> err lags
[05:08] <Moduliz0r> CMI8738 is the PCI (second) one
[05:08] <gnomefreak> mythili: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[05:08] <Moduliz0r> Intel is my realtek internal one
[05:08] <tarzeau> pmo: could be anything... can't tell
[05:08] <mythili> gnomefreak, uname -a is 2.6.20-15-386
[05:08] <pmo> ok
[05:09] <ubuntu__> d
[05:09] <pmo> must be beryl doing it then :/
[05:09] <mythili> gnomefreak, this is the version im using 2.6.20-15
[05:09] <enasni> does anyone else have any idea how to flip a window/desktop? so you see an exact mirror image of it
[05:09] <gnomefreak> mythili: than you need to sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade  once the kernel is updated install the headers for that kernel
[05:09] <tarzeau> enasni: if you find out, can you tell me? gurkan@linuks.mine.nu i'm interested too
[05:09] <bobstro> enasni:  in real time you mean?
[05:09] <enasni> tarzeau: yes of course
[05:09] <tarzeau> bobstro: yes
[05:09] <enasni> bobstro: yes
[05:10] <ewanm89> Moduliz0r: Goodnews, it can detect them, alsa just not loading them.
[05:10] <Moduliz0r> ewanm89: How do I make them work separately then? the Intel one to do all the normal stuff and the PCI one just to do JACK?
[05:10] <mythili> gnomefreak, it is already there
[05:10] <Hartock> hi all
[05:11] <dedi> http://www.pokerstrategy.org.uk/about/?referer=Dedicated
[05:11] <dedi> sorry, fc
[05:11] <Moduliz0r> Hartock: Hi
[05:11] <ewanm89> Moduliz0r: Lets get alsa to see them fully first?
[05:11] <Moduliz0r> ewanm89: Ok
[05:11] <mythili> gnomefreak, no need to do these step since all readt there
[05:11] <Moduliz0r> ewanm89: This is what you meant by alsa mixer, right? http://user.pixplanet.net/1/Problems/alsamixer1.png
[05:11] <chjunior> firefox for ubuntu is ALWAYS breaking.....
[05:11] <THJ> tarzeau: Niiice. I found PXE boot images for Ubuntu Edgy. :3
[05:12] <tarzeau> THJ: but edgy is old?
[05:12] <tarzeau> chjunior: firefox for anything is ALWAYS breaking!
[05:12] <chjunior> tarzeau, ok, I'm dreaming
[05:12] <Moduliz0r> chjunior: I've had 0 crashes so far and I've been using Ubuntu for about 2 months
[05:12] <THJ> tarzeau: Doh. Yes. I know that. I use Feisty. Sorry. Brain in wrong gear.
[05:12] <mythili> gnomefreak, then what to do
[05:12] <ewanm89> Moduliz0r: No, that is alsamixer gui, I meant type alsamixer at the commandline.
[05:13] <THJ> tarzeau: *changes his url*
[05:13] <Moduliz0r> OH!
[05:13] <Moduliz0r> now I have something
[05:13] <Moduliz0r> lol
[05:13] <THJ> tarzeau: feisty has them too.
[05:13] <sheff> mm
[05:13] <tarzeau> THJ: yes of course :)
[05:13] <nutterpc_> there's something satisfying in having a fully working linux install isn't there

[05:14] <Bakefy> I am having trouble getting any signals with my wireless
[05:14] <Moduliz0r> chjunior: Ubuntu Studio = win
[05:14] <mythili> gnomefreak, if you know tell me i want to start from here
[05:14] <THJ> tarzeau: Haha. Probably not with PXE. They probably image the hard drive directly using some specialized machine.
[05:14] <chjunior> Moduliz0r, what?
[05:14] <Bakefy> I can see the networks, I just can't connect or see their signal strenth
[05:14] <tarzeau> THJ: possible
[05:14] <dragon> AnthOnYhO ??
[05:14] <Moduliz0r> chjunior: Ubuntu Studio is just Ubuntu with media tools
[05:14] <mythili> gnomefreak, are you getting me are not

[05:14] <Moduliz0r> ewanm89: Yeah
[05:15] <chjunior> Moduliz0r, who is talking about ubuntu studio or windows?
[05:15] <alchemus> does anyone know if there's a gnome equivelent of the kde product kpgp?
[05:15] <gnomefreak> mythili: configuration error does not help me at all
[05:15] <Moduliz0r> chjunior: What about Windows?
[05:15] <mythili> gnomefreak, it means
[05:15] <gnomefreak> mythili: without the error i cant tell you how to fix it
 chjunior: Ubuntu Studio = win
[05:15] <modulus> win as in the verb.
[05:15] <Moduliz0r> You aren't faminlar with internet language
[05:16] <chjunior> oh, sorry

[05:28] <modulus> DJ-_-: maybe the codec repositories are slow.
[05:28] <ewanm89> Run "sudo asoundconf set-default-card CMI8738"
[05:29] <Nahi> anyone up for a hard one in networking ?
[05:29] <bobbob1016> DJ-_-, it could be that server that you are downloading from, are you in the US?  I found it faster when I removed us. from my repo list
[05:29] <mythili> gnomefreak, i try this tomorrow & tell you
[05:29] <DJ-_-> bobbob16: well I am trying to download something else from firefox and that is also at a mere 7 kbps
[05:29] <Moduliz0r> ewanm89: but the CMI is the PCI one which I want for JACK
[05:29] <DJ-_-> I am in Sri-Lanka far far from US
[05:29] <mythili> gnomefreak, need to say anything to me
[05:29] <bobbob1016> DJ-_-, I'm just saying that was my experience with slow repos
[05:29] <gnomefreak> mythili: good luck
[05:29] <Nahi> anyone up for a hard one in wireless networking ?
[05:29] <ewanm89> Moduliz0r: Oops my mistake, s/CMI8738/Intel/
[05:30] <Moduliz0r> ok
[05:30] <bobbob1016> DJ-_-, it does sound like your repos though, is the internet speed ok apart from that?
[05:30] <mythili> gnomefreak, ok thanks for your co operation
[05:30] <fotoflo> herm, i have a question, i have an ubuntu box and a windows box on the same router connected to the internet, and theres a website i need to connect to.  the windows box can connect, but the ubuntu box fails to load the page
[05:30] <DJ-_-> bobbob1016: first i installed and got the updates it was perfect but just now it has fallen
[05:30] <DJ-_-> bobbob1016: also the router shows no other activity is on
[05:31] <brum> fotoflo: sound like dns
[05:31] <Nahi> i have a problem with my wireless internet card there were 3 drivers, i blacklisted them, but they are still there, and i have like 3 devices where there should only be one.
[05:31] <Pupeno_> hello.
[05:31] <bobbob1016> DJ-_-, yeah, but your normal internet speeds, when you go to websites
[05:31] <fotoflo> brum: how do i fix it?
[05:31] <DJ-_-> bobbob1016: fallen
[05:31] <Pupeno_> How do I find the version of a ubuntu only having the file system (not running it)?
[05:31] <bobbob1016> DJ-_-, is it slow on normal websites?
[05:31] <DJ-_-> ya
[05:31] <brum> on the ubuntu box, can you ping 4.2.2.2
[05:31] <fotoflo> brum, if i nslookup from the terminal, i get the address
[05:31] <Moduliz0r> ewanm89: done
[05:32] <fotoflo> brum, i can use most of the internet as usual
[05:32] <DJ-_-> bobbob1016: yes it is slow
[05:32] <brum> fotoflo: just one site then?
[05:32] <Moduliz0r> ewanm89: ive got my menu click sound back on the internal sound card :D
[05:32] <Moduliz0r> ewanm89: Does that mean its all fixed?
[05:32] <ewanm89> Moduliz0r: Moduliz0r Are you using qtjackcontrol?
[05:32] <fotoflo> burm: yeah
[05:32] <bobbob1016> DJ-_-, I doubt it would be ubuntu, it could be your network, or just the codec repos
[05:32] <fotoflo> 64 bytes from 4.2.2.2: icmp_seq=1 ttl=242 time=235 ms
[05:32] <DJ-_-> or adobe?
[05:32] <brum> fotoflo: can you ping that website by ip?
[05:32] <ewanm89> Moduliz0r: You want jack to work on the other one now?
[05:33] <Moduliz0r> ewanm89: I dont know, its on the menu as JACK Control
[05:33] <bobbob1016> DJ-_-, it could be your internet
[05:33] <brum> fotoflo: does it resolve correctly when pinging by name?
[05:33] <Moduliz0r> ewanm89: Yes
[05:33] <ewanm89> Moduliz0r: Yes then.
[05:33] <DJ-_-> bobbob1016: no activity on and besides it is night
[05:33] <Moduliz0r> ewanm89: Ok, its open now, click "Setup..."?
[05:33] <fotoflo> brum, yeah i can ping
[05:33] <modulus> DJ-_-: it would be very strange if ubuntu would suddenly have degraded network throughput, but i guess all things are possible.
[05:34] <ewanm89> In setup change interface to hw:2
[05:34] <bobbob1016> DJ-_-, it could be your internet, not if YOU are doing anything, I mean it could be your ISP
[05:34] <fotoflo> brum, by ip, but not by hostname
[05:34] <Moduliz0r> ewanm89: why 2?
[05:34] <ewanm89> s/2/1/
[05:34] <Moduliz0r> thought it was 1
[05:34] <Hoxzer> :/ Hi pojat
[05:34] <DJ-_-> bobbob1016: well no chance because I just tried the other pc its fine
[05:34] <brum> fotoflo: is this an internal site?
[05:34] <Rocco> Hello. Where can I find a Ubuntu LiveCD download? There seems to be no link on the downloads page.
[05:34] <fotoflo> no

[05:42] <jrib> Woody___: yes and no, you can use nspluginwrapper to get flash to work and you can use blackdown java pugin for a java plugin but it's java 1.42 (or something similar)
[05:43] <brum> fotoflo: what is it?
[05:43] <dankgreenchile> i can still connect to an AP using iwconfig even though its not dhcp'd in ifconfig right?
[05:43] <Moduliz0r> ewanm89: hw:0 is still CMI
[05:43] <fotoflo> brum: from /etc/host :
[05:43] <CarlFK> iFries_: it is generally better to just use the versions that are in the ubuntu repos
[05:43] <fotoflo> 192.168.9.100 www.kuaibbs.com
[05:43] <Woody___> jrib: okay thanks, do you have any idea about how can i install the driver of Nvidia Geforce Go 7400?
[05:43] <fotoflo> brum: the site used to be hosted locally...
[05:43] <brum> fotoflo: that would be a problem
[05:43] <ewanm89> Moduliz0r: np
[05:44] <jrib> !nvidia > Woody___ (see the private message from ubotu)
[05:44] <kanzie> What support do I have for a G15-keyboard in feasty?
[05:44] <jrib> Woody___: you should be able to just use the restricted drivers manager in your menu
[05:44] <barnaba_> hi
[05:44] <Woody___> ok jrib
[05:44] <brum> fotoflo: figured when you said it wasn't local that /etc/hosts was safe ;)
[05:44] <barnaba_> anybody using GemX for xchat?
[05:44] <MuffY> I installed Xubuntu, and when i run a Xfce session, my internet connection won't work (WLAN). But if I logout and choose GNOME, inet works fine (am chatting to you in GNOME now)
[05:44] <fotoflo> brum: ive deleted that line, now how do i clear the cache?
[05:44] <iFries_> CarlFK: I hear from a lot of people that the azureus version in the repos is bad
[05:44] <fotoflo> heh
[05:44] <CarlFK> iFries_:  or if you must get the cutting edge version, this will help keep your box sane: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpdatingADeb
[05:44] <Woody___> jrib: but its not found there
[05:44] <fotoflo> well good line of attack there
[05:44] <brum> fotoflo: shouldnt have to
[05:44] <jrib> Woody___: where?
[05:44] <CarlFK> iFries_: bad?
[05:45] <fotoflo> just remove it and lookup?
[05:45] <Sean> Hello?
[05:45] <fotoflo> BAM!!
[05:45] <brum> fotoflo: it will not check DNS and not the hosts file per waht is defined in host.conf
[05:45] <fotoflo> heh thanks
[05:45] <Sean> ^:ADCC C:\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

[05:45] <maikol> what brings gconf-schemas
[05:46] <fotoflo> it reads hosts from file every time it does any lookup?
[05:46] <soyporti> does anyone install enlightment in ubuntu feisty??
[05:46] <brum> fotoflo: yes
[05:46] <jrib> Woody___: then try the instructions on the wiki that the bot sent you
[05:46] <brum> fotoflo: checks that first, then bind (dns)
[05:46] <Woody___> ok jrib
[05:46] <fotoflo> order hosts,bind \n multi on     <---
[05:47] <brum> fotoflo: yes

[05:56] <zonneur_> thanks
[05:56] <kanzie> noone that has g15?
[05:56] <Moduliz0r> How would I switch round hw:1 and hw:0?
[05:56] <Q_Continuum> So - what methods exist for me to quickly back up what apps I have installed (listed set of packages) and rapidly re-install them?  (say, as a backup, or for cloning a machine after doing a base-install)
 but how to use automatics
[05:56] <andrago> hi
[05:57] <Veinor> I'm having problems getting my wireless connection to work.
[05:57] <gerhard> hi, i have a problem with my usb device. it is formatted in reiserfs but when i open it my music collecton looks like the following image: http://picpaste.de/pics/Pantallazo.1181059014.png but when i go into root nautilus, i can view the collection. how can i set it so that i can view it from normal user mode?
[05:58] <lalit> anyone help me !
[05:58] <nedecor> zonneur_: google search it, install it, run it, install it under the plugins tab
[05:58] <frb-work> how do I use acls in ubuntu 6.06? I installed the acl package, but it says operation not supported
[05:59] <slmnhq> Q_continuum: were you also planning to automate the restores and do them over the network?
[05:59] <Veinor> it says I have a 3945ABG, which should work automatically on Ubuntu, and it does, since I can see networks on wifi-radar, but I can't connect to them.
[05:59] <Nahi> is there a way to partition the hard disk while im on with out re-installing the system
[05:59] <Moduliz0r> How do you swap sound interfaces? I need to swap hw:0 with hw:1
 thank you
[05:59] <frb-work> are acls not in "defaults"
[06:00] <zonneur_> i'll try it now
[06:00] <gerhard> hi, i have a problem with my usb device. it is formatted in reiserfs but when i open it my music collecton looks like the following image: http://picpaste.de/pics/Pantallazo.1181059014.png but when i go into root nautilus, i can view the collection. how can i set it so that i can view it from normal user mode?
[06:00] <slmnhq> Moduliz0r: can you please explain your problem in a little more detail?
[06:00] <nedecor> Moduliz0r: is hw0 an onboard soundcard?
[06:00] <Q_Continuum> slmnhq: possibly - mainly looking for using short-term for lots of testing of a system, but long term server-support would be handy
[06:00] <Moduliz0r> hw;1 is onboard
[06:00] <Moduliz0r> and hw:0 is a PCI sound card
[06:00] <Moduliz0r> I need to switch the addresses
[06:01] <nedecor> Moduliz0r: why?
[06:01] <Moduliz0r> so hw:0 is the onboard one
[06:01] <Moduliz0r> because hw:0 is the one all programs are using
[06:01] <Moduliz0r> and its the wrong card
[06:01] <Q_Continuum> slmnhq, specifically my arrived-yesterday dell :D
[06:01] <felixhummel> hi! how can I enable remote desktop in edgy / where do I find a tutorial?
[06:01] <Moduliz0r> I wanted the other card for JACK only
[06:01] <andrago> I installed ntop on ubuntu server SLE, anyone knows if by default the eth0 will be set on promiscuous mode?
[06:02] <Moduliz0r> does anybody know how I can switch the hw numbers?
[06:02] <M_T_C> Why would a windows .ttf, when I install it on linux, give me only boxes as I type? (The same font, installed on mac OS, does the default-to-helvetica thing)
[06:02] <gerhard> on the image you can see the folders which are on the usb drive but i cant access them
[06:02] <slmnhq> Q_Continuum: hmm.. I'm not sure if Ubuntu has such a feature
[06:03] <DJ-_-> bobbob1016: isp having some backbone problem
[06:03] <DJ-_-> bobbob1016: google ping >950ms :S
[06:03] <slmnhq> Q_Continuum: this may get too complicated, but you could create a "golden disk" and use that to restore system
[06:03] <Q_Continuum> slmnhq, server-support isn't neccessary
[06:03] <Q_Continuum> but can one export a list of packages that Synaptic can pull back in?
[06:04] <trpr> Q_Continuum: maybe you are thinking of something like Ghost?
[06:04] <gribelu> hello.. is there any quick way to remove (or list) the build dependencies of a package after "apt-get build-dep <package>" .. i rebooted and forgot to save the list :/
[06:04] <nedecor> Moduliz0r: run gconf-editor
[06:04] <Q_Continuum> trpr: No, more like post-install "here install this list of packages"
[06:04] <Moduliz0r> nedecor: where from here?
[06:04] <nedecor> Moduliz0r: then go to /desktop/gnome/sound/default_mixer_device
[06:04] <chiquitilla> hello
[06:04] <Q_Continuum> there we go, duh
[06:05] <Q_Continuum> Synaptic - File->Generate package download script
[06:05] <nedecor> Moduliz0r: Alt-F2, type in gconf-editor press enter
[06:05] <Moduliz0r> Im in gconf editor
[06:05] <Moduliz0r> but
[06:05] <Moduliz0r> if I change this value
[06:05] <Moduliz0r> to hw:1
[06:05] <DJ-_-> thanks for all the help people....I gotta study for the 1st year BSc exams on Sunday....I will configure this box a little later and come here for help thanks again
[06:05] <Moduliz0r> will all programs by default use hw:1?
[06:06] <nedecor> Moduliz0r: anything that uses gnome as the host for sound
[06:06] <nedecor> Moduliz0r: everything else you will have to configure manually
[06:06] <Moduliz0r> so is the no way to actually change hw:0 to hw:1 and hw:1 to hw:0?
[06:06] <gerhard> hi, i have a problem with my usb device. it is formatted in reiserfs but when i open it my music collecton looks like the following image: http://picpaste.de/pics/Pantallazo.1181059014.png but when i go into root nautilus, i can view the collection. how can i set it so that i can view it from normal user mode?
[06:06] <gerhard> on the image you can see the folders which are on the usb drive but i cant access them
[06:06] <Veinor> I'm having problems getting my wireless connection to work. it says I have a 3945ABG, which should work automatically on Ubuntu, and it does, since I can see networks on wifi-radar, but I can't connect to them.
[06:06] <b08y> Moduliz0r: but you can change what is hw:0 and what hw:1
[06:07] <nedecor> Moduliz0r: correct.... unless you change the order in which the modules load... which might be possible with modules.conf
[06:07] <r00tintheb0x> hello all
[06:07] <asfak_> can i have my image on bootloader ? any helpful links ?
[06:07] <nedecor> Moduliz0r: but I'm not sure in that area....
[06:07] <Moduliz0r> b08y, nedecor: How do I change what is hw:0 and hw:1 then?
[06:07] <gerhard> THANKS YOU ARE SO HELPFUL
[06:08] <b08y> Moduliz0r: if thats meant to alsa, make sure, the first one that is supposed to be hw:0 that module has to be loaded first!
[06:08] <nedecor> Moduliz0r: there may be a way to do it in modules.conf, but I've never don it, maybe bo8y knows
[06:08] <Cowfood> hey i was wondering if there is a cool app i can run in gnome that shows my system resources, temp ect.. like a stat bar?
[06:08] <Moduliz0r> b08y: I'm reasonably new to Linux, could you help me?
[06:08] <Emess> iv got a windows box that connects to teh internet with wifi, and i want ubuntu to use that wifi connection over a cat5 cable, any way to do that without samba?
[06:09] <Emess> kinda need the internet on it
[06:09] <b08y> Moduliz0r: well second there should be a nice tutorial to do so, but currently i should have one in german
[06:09] <WaxyFresh> is there a way i can set my background to be a animated movie?like a gif or whatever they are?
[06:09] <Moduliz0r> well where is modules.conf?
[06:10] <beni> Moduliz0r: locate modules.conf
[06:10] <beni> in shell
[06:10] <Moduliz0r> thanks
[06:10] <Moduliz0r> but didnt get much

[06:10] <b08y> not one of them!
[06:10] <b08y> ;)
[06:11] <slmnhq> Moduliz0r: the PCI bus is detecting and reporting one card before the other... usually this happens when an addon card is better/faster than the onboard device
[06:11] <Moduliz0r> I know
[06:11] <Cowfood> hey i was wondering if there is a cool app i can run in gnome that shows my system resources, temp ect.. like a stat bar?
[06:11] <Moduliz0r> slmnhq: yeah its a PCI card, cheap but good. But I really need them swapped :(
[06:11] <slmnhq> Moduliz0r: you can verify this by looking at the output of lspci -v
[06:11] <Ali_ix> Cowfood: try harwade info applet or concky
[06:11] <b08y> Moduliz0r: /etc/modules is the file
[06:11] <WaxyFresh> is there a way to disalbe cut/paste from keybored comands?my keyboreds messed up and likes to cut/paste on its own
[06:11] <Ali_ix> !info concky
[06:11] <nickrud> Moduliz0r, modules.conf is now /etc/modprobe.d
[06:11] <ubotu> Package concky does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[06:11] <Moduliz0r> ok

[06:13] <Cowfood> Thanks Waxy
[06:13] <slmnhq> Moduliz0r: I know that with  ethernet, it's possible to specify which mac address should get which alias
[06:13] <bobsumone> its an old NTFS that I want to make into ext3

[06:14] <Moduliz0r> :(
[06:14] <Cowfood> Hey can i use windows xp Remote Desktop feature to log into ubuntu or do i have to use VNC?
[06:14] <slmnhq> Moduliz0r: you'll have to google this problem... you've run into PCI bus timing issues now
[06:14] <Moduliz0r> I dont understand all of this, the Intel one was always hw:0 until I put a new card in and now its moved to hw:1
[06:15] <Ali_ix> Cowfood: you should use vnc
[06:15] <bobsumone> Moduliz0r: switch the cards around
[06:15] <bobsumone> maybe it assigns the numbers off of the slot number

[06:15] <nedecor> bobsumone: :?
[06:15] <Moduliz0r> bobsumone: The Intel one is onboard
[06:15] <bobsumone> ah
[06:15] <sipior> bobsumone: if the device name of a partition is /dev/hdc4, for example, you would do: mke2fs -j /dev/hdc4
[06:15] <bobsumone> because I had a similar issue
[06:16] <b08y> Moduliz0r: it only matters which entry is first
[06:16] <b08y> no more!
[06:16] <Moduliz0r> :(
[06:16] <b08y> im currently searching 4 a nice tutorial
[06:16] <Moduliz0r> ok
[06:16] <Moduliz0r> I was hoping it would be simple :/
[06:16] <bobsumone> sipior: let me try that really quick
[06:16] <b08y> Moduliz0r: btw cat /proc/asound/cards

[06:18] <Moduliz0r> but ethernet is different :(
[06:18] <nox-Hand> I got myself a fully configured and ready for use server. Currently used for document storage and music player (and streamer). Now it's happily sitting in my room doing nothing but that. It's bored and I was wondering whether someone has some fun ideas of what to use it for? (Not porn or torrent leeching, no....)
[06:18] <pruis> hey, can anybody suggest me nice tool UML modeling?
[06:19] <Q_Continuum> Okay, I'm migrating from one machine to another, both running an updated copy of Feisty - I'm not worried about apps (I figured out easy way to export and import package lists) but what is the easiest way to move my user profile over?
[06:19] <slmnhq> Moduliz0r: yes it is unfortunately... you'll have to google around or those smarter then myself on the list will have to help you
[06:19] <Moduliz0r> Ok...
[06:19] <Moduliz0r> Dont think I haven't tried Google
[06:19] <bobsumone> sipior: will this make an ext3 partition?
[06:20] <stefg> Q_Continuum: just copy your /home/<username> -dir over
[06:20] <sipior> bobsumone: yep, the -j adds a journal
[06:20] <slmnhq> Q_Continuum: how about you rsync your home directories
[06:20] <b08y> Moduliz0r: http://alsa.opensrc.org/MultipleCards
[06:20] <b08y> there we are! ;)
[06:20] <bobsumone> journal? aka 4 log?
[06:20] <Q_Continuum> slmnhq: I was also planning on using the method as a backup too - I suppose I could do an rsync that way - can you rsync two directories on one box?
[06:20] <Moduliz0r> ill take a look b08y
[06:21] <slmnhq> sure
[06:21] <slmnhq> Q_Continuum: sure
[06:21] <Q_Continuum> sweet
[06:21] <sipior> bobsumone: in case the system dies before cached data is completely fluished to disk. when the system comes back up, the journal is replayed, mitigating filesystem damage
[06:21] <slavik> I am having firewall and samba issues ... what ports do I need open for samba to work properly?
[06:21] <donferna> is it possible to remove the places menu from gnome?
[06:22] <Q_Continuum> now, by doing it from the user's profile that I'm rsyncing, do I lock out any files that then wouldn't get copied? (should I do it from another user via su?)
[06:22] <bobsumone> slavik: 445 it says, but i never got it to work
[06:22] <bobsumone> i think the old ones where 135-149
[06:22] <bobsumone> *139
[06:22] <slavik> bobsumone: I foudn that if I disable the firewall, everything works properly
[06:24] <bobsumone> slavik: well, I had the same problem
[06:24] <bobsumone> but I decided to just allow all tcp traffic to and from my 192.168.x.x network
[06:24] <bobsumone> but not to the net, this works fine for me
[06:25] <cr3_> what application do you recommend me to use for downloading files(http/ftp)? (srx I'm not native)
[06:25] <RedJelloBreath> hi
[06:25] <seiflotfy> hi guys
[06:25] <bknitram> cr3_, Places -> Connect to server
[06:25] <bobsumone> sipior: now that I have done what you said it still shows an NTFS partition in fdisk -l
[06:25] <seiflotfy> i have a problem any1 mind to help me out
[06:25] <seiflotfy> or else i fear fromating
[06:26] <b08y> Moduliz0r: http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/11448/
[06:26] <bknitram> seiflotfy, just ask your question
[06:26] <sipior> bobsumone: well, you'll have to change the partition type in fdisk. partition types are not the same as filesystem types
[06:26] <bobsumone> ah
[06:27] <RedJelloBreath> when i start virtualbox i get a message to  do :sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup   when i do that i get this message:  Look at /var/lib/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong
[06:27] <seiflotfy> my mime is somehwo screwed: exmaple i cant open pdf fiels with evince it tell me "Unhandled MIME type: application/x-extension-pdf
[06:27] <seiflotfy> i cant open alot of stuff anymore
[06:27] <RedJelloBreath> in /var/lib/vbox-install.log to
[06:27] <RedJelloBreath> it says :
[06:27] <RedJelloBreath> Makefile:73: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel$
[06:27] <bobsumone> see what I want to do is wipe the disk, re-partition, and set ready it for use
[06:28] <bobsumone> its a slave disk, not a boot disk either
[06:28] <sipior> bobsumone: then repartition first, then make filesystems as needed on each partition
[06:28] <Moduliz0r> Oh now im officially lost
[06:28] <RedJelloBreath> where can i get the sources of my current Linux Kernel
[06:28] <bobsumone> sipior: yes but im having trouble figuring out exactly how to do that
[06:29] <brian1> i need a good ftp client, gFTP wont install
[06:29] <b08y> Moduliz0r: looked at my pastebin=?
[06:29] <sipior> bobsumone: in fdisk, remove all partitions from the disk. then add partitions as you need
[06:29] <Q_Continuum> anyone know how big a i386 (only) mirror is right about now? www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/mirror shows 170GB for 4 archs, curious what 1 would be
[06:29] <brian1> can anyone name one?
[06:29] <Moduliz0r> b08y: Thats where Im at now
[06:29] <sipior> brian1: i dig ncftp
[06:29] <Moduliz0r> whats index=-2 for?
[06:29] <afief> brian1, doesn't nautilus do the job?
[06:29] <seiflotfy> any1?
[06:29] <seiflotfy> my mime is somehwo screwed: exmaple i cant open pdf fiels with evince it tell me "Unhandled MIME type: application/x-extension-pdf
[06:30] <brian1> afief: I don't have that
[06:30] <bobsumone> sipior: i would figure as much, but what is the command line for it? --help dosent have the word "remove" anywhere in it
[06:30] <afief> brian1, the file browser under gnome, it's installed by default in ubuntu
[06:30] <Moduliz0r> so im in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[06:30] <Moduliz0r> and
[06:30] <slavik> how can I specify a network/netmask for firestarter rule? (192.168.0.0/16 is fine?)
[06:31] <Moduliz0r> asoundconf list returns...
[06:31] <Moduliz0r> CMI8738 and Intel
[06:31] <sipior> bobsumone: for deleting partitions? fdisk /dev/hdb (or whatever), then type "d" and then the number of the partition you want to blow away. be sure to wrtie the table back out to disk when you're done ("m" gives the help menu, iirc)
[06:31] <Moduliz0r> I need the CMI8738 as hw:1 and Intel as hw:0
[06:31] <Moduliz0r> what do I need to change
[06:32] <sipior> bobsumone: a warning: don't remove partitions that are currently mounted :)
[06:33] <Stormx2> How can I tell how much RAM I am using from the command line?
[06:33] <brian1> afief: still not still seeing it
[06:33] <Stormx2> Not for any specific command, just total.
[06:33] <bobsumone> sipior: ok well this thing dosent look mounted, at least parted wont see it
[06:33] <sipior> Stormx2: free
[06:33] <enok> It is now telling me that I can't install the PPP program because I have i386?
[06:33] <afief> brian1, places->home. press ctrl+l enter the ftp address you want(ftp://ftp.mysite.com)
[06:34] <sipior> Stormx2: but that's a bit misleading, you'll want to look at the "-/+ buffers/cache" line
[06:34] <bobsumone> sipior: now you said the number of the partition, you mean the ID in fdisk? and by write the table back you mean use the mkex2fs command again?
[06:35] <Moduliz0r> b08y: this is already at the bottom of my alsa-base file, does this help? options snd-cmipci mpu_port=0x330 fm_port=0x388
[06:35] <neohack> slm
[06:35] <neohack> arkdalar
[06:35] <sipior> bobsumone: yes for the first one. for the second question, i mean type "w" when you're done to commit the partition table to disk

[06:35] <neohack> :D

[06:36] <bobsumone> ok let me try this
[06:36] <brian1> afief: oh i got you now. But, thats not really what I'm looking for, I want something like a client
[06:36] <bobsumone> sipior: now I have sdb (aka for hdb) and sdb1, i want to fdisk sdb right?
[06:36] <nedecor> is there a a way to run something in the terminal with out it quitting after execution, whenever I run gnome-terminal -x randomprogram, it quits after randomprogram terminates
[06:37] <sipior> bobsumone: yep
[06:37] <bobsumone> ok
[06:37] <afief> brian1, well I never used anything but gftp, but this is a client too
[06:37] <mage__> fdisk -l and make sure its right from that first ;)
[06:38] <Moduliz0r> b08y: I've changed it like this then: http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/11452/

[06:41] <ewanm89> spiekey: kde-look.org has a few, else google is your freind.

[06:42] <mage__> aconbere|work: check the conf
[06:43] <bobsumone> what type should I make it? i see alot of option here when I list the know typs
[06:43] <b08y> hmm looks okay now open that file again and paste it here(pastebin ofcourse ;))
[06:43] <ewanm89> Moduliz0r: Didn't asoundconf set-default-card work?
[06:43] <mage__> aconbere|work: something is commented out, splash or something stupid
[06:43] <Moduliz0r> no it didnt

[06:43] <Moduliz0r> well

[06:43] <sipior> bobsumone: type 83
[06:44] <bobsumone> but I was wondering if I should do LVM or anything odd ball like that
[06:44] <aconbere|work> yeah I guess I've never even bothered with screenrc didn't even think to look there
[06:44] <sipior> bobsumone: the one that just says "Linux". i'm not lying to you!
[06:44] <bobsumone> lol k
[06:44] <bobsumone> i believe u :))
[06:44] <brian1> im not good with installing things i just download, someone want to get me started? (im not very experienced with ubuntu, as you could probably tell)
[06:44] <b08y> Moduliz0r:  hmm looks okay now open that file again and paste it here(pastebin ofcourse ;))

[06:45] <erUSUL> brian1: use Aplications>Add Remove Apps
[06:45] <aconbere|work> mage__: I grepped the man page first :)
[06:45] <brian1> erUSUL: yes, but the app i need is not in there
[06:45] <erUSUL> brian1: or System>Admin>Synaptic
[06:45] <erUSUL> brian1: do you have all repos enabled?
[06:45] <Moduliz0r> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24263/
[06:45] <aconbere|work> which ... given the size of the screen man page probably wasn't my best first starting point

[06:45] <demo_N> where do i get any documentation for enabling TV out in UBUNTU?
[06:46] <demo_N> TV out any one?
[06:46] <gnomefreak> !mythtv | demo_N
[06:46] <ubotu> demo_N: MythTV is a TV framework for Linux - Instructions for using with Ubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV
[06:46] <brian1> erUSUL: er, hpw do that?
[06:46] <mage__> demo_N: TV out is typically video card specific
[06:46] <gabe_> How come sometimes my window pane title bars become unusable so I have to minimize or close a bottom by right clicking it in the app bar at the bottom?
[06:47] <sipior> demo_N: well, "tv out ubuntu feisty" works well in google. the third link looks promising
[06:47] <Moduliz0r> b08y: did that paste help?
[06:47] <demo_N> mage_ : i can do that in windows ; but not in UBUNTU?
[06:47] <b08y> Moduliz0r: i look second
[06:47] <Moduliz0r> k
[06:47] <ticky> what's the command line to find out which group/s i'm member of
[06:48] <gnomefreak> groups?
[06:48] <ticky> gnomefreak: yes. something like "whoami" but for groups
[06:48] <b08y> Moduliz0r: whichone should be the first?
[06:48] <gnomefreak> ticky: the command is groups
[06:48] <b08y> Moduliz0r: the cmi?
[06:48] <Moduliz0r> the first should be my Intel (onboard) one
[06:48] <Moduliz0r> but its putting the cmi one first
[06:48] <mage__> demo_N: its video card specific, which means it depends on what video card you have :p
[06:48] <Moduliz0r> i only put it in today
[06:49] <demo_N> I have a NVIDIA gforce 6150
[06:49] <mage__> ticky: could just grep /etc/group for your name ;)
[06:49] <DaveG|> how would i remount a plug in DVD RW drive with a different parameter?
[06:49] <demo_N> its a inegrated one!
[06:49] <Moduliz0r> the cmi one is a PCI one
[06:49] <ticky> thanks a alot gnomefreak
[06:49] <gnomefreak> yw
[06:49] <b08y> Moduliz0r: yeah i understood
[06:49] <Moduliz0r> b08y: Ok
[06:50] <mage__> demo_N: I don't think anyone here knows off the top of thier head
[06:50] <aricz> thanks to whoever told me about getting rid of 'splash' in boot/grub/menu.lst .. woho:)
[06:50] <ticky> why can't i change the permissions of a folder with "drwxrwsr-x" if i am a member of the group this folder belongs to ????????
[06:51] <mage__> demo_N: might need to search around google or possibly ubuntu forums
[06:51] <ewanm89> aricz: If you want all the messages get rid of quiet too.
[06:51] <salvo> hey lads
[06:51] <salvo> I have a quick question
[06:51] <aricz> telepathic.. I was about to ask about it.. danke!
[06:51] <salvo> is there a way to search with apt-get ?
[06:51] <DaveG|> can anyone help me with installing quake 4 for linux? i'm trying to copy over the pk4 files but it always says either I/O error or Permission denied. Can anyone help me?
[06:51] <bobsumone> sipio: ok now that ive got this thing working how do i get it working?
[06:51] <bobsumone> salvo yes
[06:51] <lamalex> salvo: apt-cache search
[06:51] <demo_N> mage_: ok will check with google
[06:51] <bobsumone> but use apt-cache
[06:51] <salvo> thanks guys
[06:52] <salvo> you ROCK!!!
[06:52] <maik_> mage_: the problem is that the cards with more than 100milliWatts I cant buy in Germany :(
[06:52] <Dr_willis> DaveG|,  those are 2 vastly different error messages. :)  you may want to give more details.
[06:52] <bobsumone> salvo
[06:52] <mage__> ticky: I thought only the owner can change permissions
[06:52] <eX|Joe> Guys, I have a pretty strange question.  I am looking for the best modular, scalable, secure CMS that is open source.
[06:52] <bobsumone> check out aptitude also
[06:52] <sipior> bobsumone: if you've got a partition, just run mke2fs -j /dev/whatever
[06:52] <Moduliz0r> b08y: Any ideas?
[06:52] <mzanfardino> what is the CLI commend to calculate disk space usage for a specific directory (and it's subdirectories)?
[06:52] <ticky> mage: i didn't know that
[06:52] <b08y> Moduliz0r: yeah, sec i making pastein
[06:52] <Moduliz0r> Oh ok
[06:52] <Jowi> mzanfardino, du
[06:53] <bobsumone> sipior: im still new to this whole thing still
[06:53] <salvo> bobsumone: I am looking for a command line util
[06:53] <Shak-> I was using my notebook as usual... then when I booted it up today I'm stuck on the Grub screen, I get error 18
[06:53] <ticky> mage__: : i thought as long as you had file permitions you could do anything
[06:53] <aricz> and, shame on me, how do I reboot from virtual console?
[06:53] <sipior> bobsumone: no worries
[06:53] <mage__> maik_: oh, well anything using prism 2.5/ 54g works in linux I dont really know about external connectors
[06:53] <mzanfardino> Jowi: I knew that! :) thanks
[06:53] <ticky> mage__: i mean, Write permissions
[06:53] <bobsumone> but i at least kinda know wtf im doing :P
[06:53] <Moduliz0r> aricz: sudo reboot?
[06:53] <Shak-> anyone know how to fix error 18? I read its something about the hard disk bigger than what the bios supports, so I got the super grub disk but that wouldnt fix it
[06:53] <b08y> Moduliz0r: paste that into that file http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/11453/
[06:53] <DaveG|> Dr_willis does this help you understand? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24265/ xD
[06:53] <bobsumone> sipio and also, I did do the mkex2fs thing
[06:54] <mage__> ticky: well, permissions are a step back from writing to a file
[06:54] <getBoa> hi y'all why the firefox doesnt play sound in flash websites?
[06:54] <mage__> it doesn't?
[06:54] <sipior> bobsumone: in that case, you just need to add a line to your /etc/fstab file. i'll paste an example...
[06:54] <bobsumone> im just trying to get this thing added to the system perminently so I can share it to the samba network
[06:54] <Jowi> getBoa, see here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash#head-f036b17c3150dd72f58d952a0e13094568c9f92e
[06:54] <bobsumone> let me read the file first
[06:54] <bobsumone> im good w/ code
[06:54] <Moduliz0r> Ok then ill see you in a few minutes
[06:55] <getBoa> Jowi, cheers mate

[06:56] <aap__> and in my code => #include <stdio.h>
[06:56] <dynamite> http://nopaste.php-q.net/298741 >> can anyone tell me why my twinview wont work?
[06:57] <Moduliz0r> I think it may have worked :D
[06:57] <Moduliz0r> Yes, I believe it has
[06:57] <DaveG|> can anyone help me with this? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24265/
[06:57] <aricz> woho.. \o/
[06:58] <mage__> DaveG|: that looks like a read error
[06:58] <b08y> Moduliz0r: what does cat asoundrc says?
[06:58] <mage__> DaveG|: I got errors like that when i tried to use a dodgy card reader
[06:59] <Moduliz0r> No such file or directory
[06:59] <Moduliz0r> now JACK wont work :(
[06:59] <Moduliz0r> 17:58:39.832 Post-shutdown script terminated with exit status=256.
[06:59] <DaveG|> ah, mage__ .. i hope the disk isn't buggered :(
[06:59] <Moduliz0r> argh
[07:00] <b08y> Moduliz0r: w8, what does cat /proc/asound/cards
[07:00] <mage__> DaveG|: is that a CD?
[07:00] <DaveG|> mage__ DVD
[07:00] <Moduliz0r> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24266/
[07:01] <mage__> ah, if it was HD it could be no read permissions, but I guess root doesn't care
[07:01] <PatrickBic> hi
[07:01] <DaveG|> mage__ i've read this, but i've got no idea how to do it
[07:01] <DaveG|> http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/linux/quake4/#head-55969ff8b38fad088ee915b4e7da3480efcf5046
[07:01] <PatrickBic> is there some way to make a netinstall with only 1 floppy?
[07:01] <Moduliz0r> b08y: they seem to be the right way round, but now JACK wont start on hw:1
[07:01] <mage__> DaveG|: give me the line for /media/whateveritwas when you type mount
[07:02] <b08y> Moduliz0r: you may need to configure jack again?
[07:02] <limbeaux> any idea why beryl loses title bars when i run it?  i guess the best question would be do you think it is beryl or my video drivers?
[07:02] <Moduliz0r> b08y: Oh hell no, how do I do that?
[07:02] <DaveG|> mage__ i don't type mount, it automatically mounts itself
[07:02] <mage__> well, thats not working now is it?
[07:02] <mage__> :)
[07:02] <b08y> Moduliz0r: well try sudo apt-get --purge jack, and afterwards apt-get install jack ;)
[07:02] <Moduliz0r> ok
[07:03] <FutureMarine> I was wondering what the system requirements for fluxubuntu is?
[07:03] <Henica> Hey guys. I need to find a mouse and keyboard macro that I can use on ubuntu. Any ideas?
[07:03] <DaveG|> mage__ well i don't know how to mount a USB DVD-RW drive :P
[07:03] <mage__> umount /dev/something ; mount /dev/something /media/QUAKE4 -o rockridge
[07:03] <Moduliz0r> E: Invalid operation jack
[07:03] <DaveG|> mage__ how do you find out what it is?
[07:03] <Moduliz0r> Bah
[07:03] <Moduliz0r> why should it need reinstalling anyway?
[07:03] <mage__> DaveG|: it just gives you a device, and ubuntu automounts it on you
[07:03] <Moduliz0r> i've set it to alsa hw:1
[07:03] <boka> SR71-Blackbird, howdy
[07:04] <mage__> # mount | grep QUAKE4
[07:04] <SR71-Blackbird> boka, hey
[07:04] <Henica> Anyone?
[07:04] <FutureMarine> I was wondering what the system requirements for fluxubuntu is?
[07:04] <boka> SR71-Blackbird, so you can see lots of ubuntu experts here. :)
[07:04] <mage__> FutureMarine: its the buntu part that'll suck up lots of disk space
[07:04] <b08y> Moduliz0r: eh first question what did you do , and when does that ocur?
[07:05] <Moduliz0r> when does what occur? JACK erroring? whenever I start it
[07:05] <mage__> FutureMarine: find something 300mhz or better, and grab a 4gig or better drive
[07:05] <bobsumone> sipio: ok, i got the file open here (fstab) and im looking at it, it seems fairly simple but I want to make sure im doing this right
[07:05] <bobsumone> sipio: your still here right?
[07:05] <b08y> Moduliz0r: try that "sudo apt-get remove --purge jack"
[07:05] <Moduliz0r> k
[07:05] <Moduliz0r> isnt it jackd?
[07:05] <b08y> jackd
[07:05] <b08y> ;)
[07:05] <Moduliz0r> lol
[07:05] <FutureMarine> mage_: Will it work on a pentium one 233 mhz and 128 megs of ram with 1.8 gig hd with a external 40 gig hd

[07:08] <Moduliz0r> Still does it.
[07:08] <FutureMarine> mage_: When I start it up I get a buffer read error to the hdc how do I get past that?
[07:08] <dynamite> http://nopaste.php-q.net/298741 >> can anyone tell me why my twinview wont work?
[07:08] <mage__> whoopsies
[07:08] <mage__> DaveG|: i didn't read that correctly
[07:08] <mage__> norock :)
[07:08] <DaveG|> mage__ tried that too =/
[07:09] <mage__> DaveG|: are you sure thats the right device file?
[07:09] <FutureMarine> mage_: When I start it up I get a buffer read error to the hdc how do I get past that?
[07:09] <DaveG|> mage__ yep
[07:09] <Moduliz0r> great
[07:09] <DaveG|> mage__ mounted it w/o norock and it mounted
[07:09] <Moduliz0r> Now im missing loads of packages and JACK is a fag
[07:09] <mage__> DaveG|: good, now run mount, and give me the line about that
[07:10] <stefg> FutureMarine: the best use you can make of a machine like that is to rip the 1,8 GB hd out (to save power) and use it as a netbooting thin client for a more powerful machine
[07:10] <b08y> Moduliz0r:  now install it again "apt-get install jackd"
[07:10] <khadija> always i have problem with configuration of samba

[07:10] <JuJuBee> Any help with http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24270/ ? Dist-upgrade issue...  From dapper to feisty.
[07:10] <b08y> Moduliz0r: does what, and when ;)

[07:12] <Moduliz0r> sudo apt-get install qjackctl
[07:12] <Moduliz0r> Thats it.
[07:12] <erUSUL> !samba | khadija
[07:12] <ubotu> khadija: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[07:12] <mage__> well dvds can be formatted iso9660
[07:12] <Moduliz0r> You know what
[07:12] <DaveG|> mage__ also it says i think it's only for the CDs. but still :( i don't get why it isn't having it
[07:12] <Moduliz0r> im going to reinstall Ubuntu
[07:12] <Moduliz0r> It needs it.
[07:13] <khadija> yeah i download it the file how can i install it
[07:13] <b08y> Moduliz0r: well, if you like it that way. ;)
[07:13] <khadija> samba_3.0.24-2ubuntu1.2_i386.deb

[07:13] <mage__> mount /dev/scd2 /media/QUAKE4 -t udf -o norock
[07:13] <c1|freaky> is ther thunderbird 2.0 for ubuntu?
[07:13] <khadija> samba_3.0.24-2ubuntu1.2_i386.deb
[07:13] <stefg> FutureMarine: does 'just fine' include a large page shown in firefox ? :-\ ... but a buffer read error on hdc indicates either a damaged CD or a broken CD-ROM drive
[07:14] <mage__> DaveG|: if all else fails just pirate it
[07:14] <jujimufu> I have downloaded gnome-bluetooth, bluez, gammu and wammu, and I have set up gammurc to have a pin, namely 5432. But when I run wammu and it detects my phone, on my phone I am asked whether I want a connection with the computer. I say yes, and it asks for a password. I put the password I have pre-arranged, but it says "connection failed". Any ideas?
[07:14] <anto9us> Moduliz0r: back up your home directory, all application prefs and stuff should be stored there
[07:15] <DaveG|> mage__ i can't unmount it now.. it keeps saying its busy..
[07:15] <mage__> DaveG|: or use someones windows box to copy it to your linux box
[07:15] <Paddy_EIRE> hey guys for some reaso frostwire will not run on my laptop, as far as I know the jre is installed
[07:15] <Moduliz0r> ok
[07:15] <Moduliz0r> well im out
[07:15] <Moduliz0r> Thanks all who have helped me
[07:15] <mage__> DaveG|: something has it open
[07:15] <Dimensions> Hiya ... i want to use wget to download a file from server .... if i want to save a file to another directory is this command fine ? sudo wget -o /dir/gif http://url/url/index/abc.gif
[07:15] <FutureMarine> stefg: That doesnt make since because I got the other ubuntu to work on it and didnt have any problems do you know if fluxubuntu has the 2.6 kernel because I can get my machine to work with 2.4 and thats for older hardware and computers
[07:16] <mage__> lsof -n | grep QUAKE4
[07:16] <mage__> or just make sure you're not ibrowsing it in nautilus or whatever file browser
[07:16] <mage__> DaveG|: also can't be cd'd to /media/QUAKE4
[07:17] <DaveG|> mage__ got it going again now
[07:17] <DaveG|> i just unplugged it xD
[07:17] <ohzie> How do I find out the ip address of a windows machine whose name I know? I don't want to walk downstairs. =O
[07:17] <ohzie> Is there any way to resolve a machine's windows network sharing name or whatever to an ip address?
[07:17] <Paddy_EIRE> anyone know why frostwire would not be detecting the jre
[07:17] <scapor>  can someone help my with bluetooth ?  I'm able to send files from my phone to my pc but not the other way around.  gnome-obex-send says it's unable to make a bluetooth connection ; more info at: http://pastebin.ca/539468

[07:18] <Yashy> # lsusb
[07:18] <Yashy> Bus 001 Device 005: ID 04b0:0309 Nikon Corp.
[07:18] <Yashy> Can someone point me how to mount this?
[07:18] <stefg> FutureMarine: all *buntu's share the same base system, so of course it has the same 2.6.20 kernel as full blown ubuntu. To be honest, The *buntus are targetted to halfway recent hardware, so rather try Damn Small Linux or DeLi-Linux instead on that machine
[07:18] <scapor> mage__: that shouldn't change anything, or should it ?
[07:18] <jujimufu> scapor: what programs are you using?
[07:18] <Yashy> I see no disks listed in dmesg, and can't find any documentation on this. Thanks in Advance!
[07:18] <scapor> jujimufu: I tried gnome-obex-send and nautilus-sento
[07:19] <teamwork> Yashy, a camera?
[07:19] <mage__> scapor: well sometimes phones have recieving blocked
[07:19] <DaveG|> mage__ thanks for the help
[07:19] <DaveG|> :)
[07:19] <Yashy> teamwork: yes
[07:19] <scapor> mage_ I already received files from other ppl's phones and a pc
[07:19] <FutureMarine> stefg: so there is no other ubuntus I can use for this machine
[07:19] <jujimufu> scapor: obex should do it. I am using it from kde and it's sending files from the pc to the phone just fine.
[07:19] <scapor> mage_ and I think that was without "pairing"
[07:19] <jujimufu> scapor: do you get a specific error or something?
[07:19] <ohzie> Yashy: I wish I knew how to help. :[ When I plugged my camera in it said OH HELLO THIS IS A CAMERA. WOULD YOU LIKE TO DOWNLOAD IMAGES? and I was like omg yesssssssss!
[07:19] <teamwork> Yashy, do you have automount set to yes in "Removable Drives and Media"?  Just curious.
[07:19] <aconbere|work> wc
[07:19] <ohzie> That was gnome if it helps any.
[07:19] <scapor> jujimufu: well, it gives an error (check pastebin)
[07:20] <Paddy_EIRE> could some help me determine why frostwire will not run, as far as I know the JRE is installed
[07:20] <scapor> http://pastebin.ca/539468
[07:20] <bobsumone> Yashy: dont quote me byt you might have some issues w/ that as most cameras default NTFS
[07:20] <jujimufu> scapor: care to paste the link again?
[07:20] <noble> Anyone good with network manager and OpenVpn?
[07:20] <scapor> jujimufu: (just did ;))

[07:20] <jujimufu> scapor: oh, right, didn't see that :P sorry
[07:21] <Yashy> teamwork: Where can I check? (not my machine, and I'm remote). I don't see anything with $ ls -ld /etc/aut*
[07:22] <nickrud> Paddy_EIRE, sudo update-alternatives --config java  <-- that will show the java's installed, and allow you select the default
[07:22] <makki> hi
[07:22] <teamwork> Yashy, there's a "Cameras" tab in "Removable Drives and Media" within the GNOME menu.  Not sure if you can do anything like that remote. But if dmesg shows nothing when you plug it in, something else is not working.
[07:23] <Yashy> teamwork: using xfce not gnome
[07:23] <makki> when i try ti install somthing from terminal it ask me for cd!!
[07:23] <klav> hi! new dell lappy here. Any idea how i can activate these nvidia drives? The restricted drivers manager is not activating it
[07:23] <klav> drivers*
[07:24] <teamwork> Yashy, and when you plug in the camera (turned on) into the usb port, dmesg returns no device names?
[07:24] <makki> when i try to install somthing from terminal it ask me for cd!!
[07:24] <jujimufu> scapor: I can't help ya, sorry. I don't know what might be wrong. What other bluetooth packages have you downloaded?
[07:24] <ohzie> klav: Oh man, what kind of video card is it?
[07:24] <ohzie> Other than 'nvidia'
[07:24] <RedJelloBreath> anybody use windows in virtualbox --  must i enable IO APIC
[07:24] <teamwork> makki, you mean when using apt-get or aptitude?
[07:24] <dynamite> http://nopaste.php-q.net/298741 >> can anyone tell me why my twinview wont work?
[07:24] <makki> yes
[07:25] <klav> ohzie: its the 256MB NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300 TurboCache
[07:25] <scapor> jujimufu: bluetooth and bluez-utils etc
[07:25] <jujimufu> scapor: have you downloaded gnome-bluetooth?
[07:25] <teamwork> makki, you need to edit your sources.list file.  'gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list'  Comment out (that is, place a # in front of) the line that says CD.
[07:25] <ohzie> klav: Do me a favor and go open a terminal and type 'lspci'
[07:25] <scapor> jujimufu: yup
[07:25] <klav> ohzie: this is the new ubuntu laptops dell are offering. just came today! :)
[07:25] <makki> ok i try
[07:26] <teamwork> u can do it!
[07:26] <klav> ohzie: sure let me do that one sec got to run downstairs :(
[07:26] <ohzie> klav: Oh! And it's running feisty?
[07:26] <ohzie> Kk
[07:26] <jujimufu> scapor: hm...
[07:26] <carajean> hey guys quick question. I changed my xorg.conf and i cant get into the gui to change it. i tried sudo vi xorg.conf but is there another editor that is easier to use?
[07:26] <carajean> anything other than vi
[07:26] <scapor> jujimufu: and bluez-gnome
[07:26] <mc44> carajean: nano
[07:26] <carajean> so sudo nano xorg.conf    ???
[07:26] <scapor> jujimufu: I already managed to pair 'am but that didn't make it any better
[07:26] <ohzie> Yeah nano is awesome
[07:26] <jujimufu> scapor: do you have kbtobexclient?
[07:26] <RedJelloBreath> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:27] <klav> ohzie : yes it is
[07:27] <klav> :)
[07:27] <scapor> jujimufu: that is kde spicific, I don't have it
[07:27] <carajean> so this will work in the command line where everything is black and the text white?
[07:27] <Hor|zon> carajean, yeah like that
[07:27] <RedJelloBreath> yes
[07:27] <scapor> jujimufu: but I have gnome's bluetooth manager
[07:27] <mc44> carajean: yes, /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:27] <Hor|zon> ctrl + o to save ctrl + x to close
[07:27] <Hor|zon> if I REMEMBER RIGHT
[07:27] <Hor|zon> woops
[07:27] <carajean> sweet guys thanks so very much
[07:28] <scapor> jujimufu: gnome-obex-send and gnome-obex-server are gnome's sending and retrieving programs
[07:28] <klav> ohzie: what am i looking for?
[07:28] <jujimufu> scapor: yeah, I was about to type that. But that's what I have, and it works. And what error does gnome's bluetooth manager
[07:28] <ohzie> klav: The great thing about Dell's linux laptops is that they're not doing any hardware support, because they're tooooo awesome or something. It's possible that the repositories for those drivers haven't been put into the config file where they're supposed  to be.
[07:28] <jujimufu> scapor: give?
[07:28] <klav> ohhhhh i see
[07:28] <klav> that makes sense
[07:28] <scapor> jujimufu: ** (gnome-obex-send:13593): WARNING **: Unable to make a Bluetooth connection. and ** (gnome-obex-send:13593): WARNING **: Unable to initialize OBEX client source
[07:28] <klav> cause im not seeing nvidia here
[07:28] <ohzie> klav: Just to verify that it actually is, indeed, what is advertised, and to get the numbers off the beginning of the line for your graphics card
[07:28] <scapor> those are when I send with gnome-obex-send
[07:28] <ohzie> Just to make sure
[07:28] <klav> oh it is
[07:28] <klav> under video
[07:28] <ohzie> Here, I'm using an nvidia card too
[07:28] <ohzie> And it worked fine
[07:29] <jujimufu> scapor: have you tried using gammu?
[07:29] <ohzie> So my repository settings must work for you. Let me try and find them.
[07:29] <klav> oh ok under VGA compat control i see the card
[07:29] <klav> thanks
[07:29] <ohzie> You wouldn't, perchance, know where they are kept?
[07:29] <scapor> jujimufu: I did, and gnome-phone-manager, both are not able to connect
[07:29] <mc44> klav: whats the error you get from restricted manager?
[07:29] <klav> mc44: none
[07:29] <klav> i click activate and i just dones't activate
[07:29] <Henica> Okay.. let's try again. Hey guys. I need to find a mouse and keyboard macro that I can use on ubuntu. Any ideas?
[07:30] <JuJuBee> Can someone please help me?  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24270/  I can't get past this error in dist-upgrade.
[07:30] <jujimufu> scapor: so you have defined the phone's hcid in gammurc, right?
[07:30] <scapor> jujimufu: oh no I didn't :)
[07:31] <scapor> jujimufu: but it could find the phone
[07:31] <jujimufu> scapor...
[07:31] <jujimufu> scapor: yeah, do hcitool scan
[07:31] <scapor> jujimufu: but it couldn't connect.  it timed out.  hcitool scan shows the phone's mac addres
[07:31] <alexmcpherson> Hello
[07:31] <darryl> Any of your guys got  PPTP working with Ubuntu?
[07:32] <hyphenated> Henica: what do you mean?
[07:32] <jujimufu> scapor: get the phone's mac address and then, in gammurc (either /etc/gammurc or ~/.gammurc ), write port = MACADDRESS where MACADDRESS is the exact mac address from hcitool.
[07:32] <TMM> hi! I've got a question: I've got a system with evolution here, and the ~/.evolution/mail/local/Inbox file is exceeding 2Gb, evolution dumps core with a SIGXFSZ (File size limit exceeded)
[07:32] <Mars^> Hi all
[07:32] <mc44> klav: are you connect to the internets on it?
[07:32] <Mars^> i have a question
[07:32] <TMM> I've tried to make a file with 'dd' and that just kept on going further than 2Gb
[07:32] <klav> i am not
[07:33] <PriceChild> JuJuBee, hey there
[07:33] <TMM> filesystem is XFS, has anyone ever seen that ?
[07:33] <Mars^> is beryl installed in ubuntu or i have to do it myself?
[07:33] <klav> i have to reset my wireless
[07:33] <darryl> I almost have it working, but I get the "Cannot determine ethernet address for proxy ARP" - anyone here know how to work around that?
[07:33] <klav> forgot my PW :(
[07:33] <PriceChild> JuJuBee, i guess you're upgrading from one version of ubuntu to the next?
[07:33] <scapor> jujimufu: but gammu itself showed me the pmacaddres ... so it found it :(
[07:33] <mc44> klav: hrm, try putting in the ubuntu cd and doing "apt-cdrom add" in the terminal
[07:33] <klav> k
[07:33] <JuJuBee> PriceChild, from dapper to feisty.
[07:33] <PriceChild> !upgrade | JuJuBee
[07:33] <ubotu> JuJuBee: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[07:33] <hyphenated> TMM: it's a UNIX thing.. you have to open files specially
[07:33] <PriceChild> JuJuBee, you can't just "skip" versions
[07:33] <jujimufu> scapor: oh... I don't know then.
[07:33] <alexmcpherson> Hi, running from a live cd because cant boot up, and well, i dont know how to use ubuntu. How do I access my hard drive, so I can delete certain folders before I reinstall my OS? [from msdos, it just gives access denied)
[07:34] <mc44> klav: (sudo)
[07:34] <PriceChild> jujimufu, you ahve to go go through edgy
[07:34] <klav> k
[07:34] <Crav> I've got an HP DV8305us laptop with an ATI radeon xpress 200m. Is there any way to get the S-Video out to work?
[07:34] <fdr> hello! I remember there is an ubuntu derivative specialised in video editing and multimedia in general.. unfortunately I don't remember its name. Can anybody please name it?
[07:34] <scapor> jujimufu: thanks anyway
[07:34] <jujimufu> PriceChild: what the?
[07:34] <JuJuBee> Pricechild : so I have to go to edgy first then to feisty.
[07:34] <PriceChild> !studio | fdr
[07:34] <ubotu> fdr: ubuntustudio is a site for the artist who wishes to use Ubuntu as their Digital Audio Workstation. It contains all the best parts of Audio/Graphical/Visual components from the Ubuntu repositories, and extra! Available at http://www.ubuntustudio.com. Or visit #ubuntustudio.
[07:34] <fdr> precisely :)
[07:34] <TMM> hyphenated: O, I never knew, and evo doesn't apparently, is it a fopen() flag?
[07:34] <clever> !hci
[07:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hci - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:34] <PriceChild> jujimufu, whoops that was for JuJuBee sorry
[07:34] <jujimufu> scapor: yeah, sorry I can't help ya. I am new in bluetooth too, you see..
[07:34] <dxdt> .c
[07:34] <hyphenated> TMM: dd is smart enough to use the special flag. evolution isn't
[07:34] <stefg> fdr: ubuntustudio
[07:34] <fdr> PriceChild, thanks
[07:34] <PriceChild> JuJuBee, yes :)
[07:34] <jujimufu> PriceChild: lol, ok :P
[07:34] <klav> mc44: cd was auto detected im stilltype that?
[07:34] <Henica> I need a program that will record my mouse and keyboard movements, that will do the automated task for me.
[07:34] <TMM> hyphenated: so... what do I do now? delete mail?
[07:34] <dxdt> Hey everybody!
[07:35] <Henica> But all the ones I've been using are Windows only.
[07:35] <JuJuBee> Wish someone pointed that out earlier this morning...
[07:35] <mc44> klav: did it ask you to add it as a repository? (i don't remmeber the dialog)
[07:35] <hyphenated> TMM: well, that's hard if you can't load up evolution.. :-)
[07:35] <clever> TMM: www.php.net/fopen
[07:35] <TMM> hyphenated: yeah... so I delete all mail? is that really the only way?
[07:35] <JuJuBee> K, thanks PriceChild... Guess I restart the process...
[07:36] <PriceChild> JuJuBee, change your sources list back first ;)
[07:36] <JuJuBee> Yea, thanks.
[07:36] <JuJuBee> What will happen if I have to go home (shut down computer and restart at  home?
[07:36] <klav> mc44: asked if i want to run pagckage manager
[07:36] <mc44> klav: er, ok just do the command in a terminal anyway, can't hurt :)
[07:37] <klav> same outcome
[07:37] <klav> asked me if i wanted to run package manager
[07:37] <mc44> klav: you did "sudo apt-cdrom add" in the terminal?
[07:37] <klav> yep
[07:37] <klav> it mounted cd
[07:37] <klav> then ran
[07:38] <mc44> klav: ok, try restricted manager again then, leave the cd in
[07:38] <Crav> I've got an HP DV8305us laptop with an ATI radeon xpress 200m. Is there any way to get the S-Video out to work?
[07:38] <Mars^> Is beryl installed in ubuntu by default?
[07:38] <TMM> hyphenated: got any smart ideas? :)
[07:38] <Crav> Mars^: no
[07:38] <klav> mc44: same thing. :( i hit activate and it did not do anything
[07:38] <hyphenated> TMM: truncate the file using dd, and hope evolution can handle a corrupted inbox
[07:38] <klav> mc44: continues to say "not in use"
[07:39] <eX|Joe> guys i have an interesting problem.  i do dpkg -l | grub mysql and get mysql-server-5.0
[07:39] <eX|Joe> i do apt-get remove mysql-server-5.0 and it says its not installed
[07:39] <El-aLEX> Mars^, Is compiz installed in ubuntu feisty by default
[07:39] <lamalex> crav: i haven't found one yet
[07:39] <eX|Joe> wtf?
[07:39] <soundray> Crav: check http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Tvout
[07:39] <TMM> this really is a stupid limitation
[07:39] <jujimufu> El-aLEX: no, compiz is not. But AiGLX is installed by default, and you can install beryl (a composite manager, something like compiz but more stable) very easily
[07:39] <b0lland> Hi #ubuntu, I'd like to package ~60 GB into 4 GB volumes, to be able to burn it on DVD:s. What's a good program to use? I wouldn't mind some compression too. I tried both rar and arj, doesn't seem like they can handle that big volumes.
[07:40] <hyphenated> TMM: or fix evolution ;-) ask them to provide a patch after reading a page like this one...http://kasperd.net/~kasperd/comp.os.linux.development.faq#O_LARGEFILE
[07:40] <JuJuBee> PriceChild : can I safely shutdown  my computer, go home and restart and start the process again?
[07:40] <mc44> klav: hmm, you can try following the instruction for doing it manually, using
[07:40] <lamalex> soundray: those directions are for old cards
[07:40] <PriceChild> JuJuBee, this is remote?
[07:40] <mc44> !nvidia | klav
[07:40] <lamalex> not newer ones
[07:40] <ubotu> klav: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:40] <klav> ty mc44
[07:40] <yeniklasor> Do you know a good TV Tuner setting up website?
[07:40] <eX|Joe> b0lland: try izarc
[07:40] <JuJuBee> PriceChild : No, my laptop.
[07:40] <soundray> lamalex: the 200M is a few years old
[07:40] <eX|Joe> its simular to winzip but better
[07:40] <PriceChild> JuJuBee, I don't know how many packages you already upgraded to feisty so i'm not sure what's best...
[07:40] <b0lland> eX|Joe: alright thanks
[07:40] <ftp3> I installed ubuntu server, but it does not have perl cpan.. I tried "install Bundle::CPAN" no luck, searched apt for cpan, no luck... anyone ave any other ideas?
[07:40] <eX|Joe> use no compression tho b0lland
[07:41] <JuJuBee> Will it "downgrade" anyway?
[07:41] <jujimufu> b0lland: just to give you a tip: you better not zip the files. If you zip a file, and the dvd has just a single one scratch, all of that file will be ruined, and if you don't have that you won't be able to open the other files either. I'd suggest you just copied the files into directories and split them into 15 dvds; this way, it'd be safer for your files.
[07:41] <PriceChild> JuJuBee, downgrading isn't supported
[07:41] <JuJuBee> so am I screwed?
[07:41] <PriceChild> JuJuBee, especially when you've broken it like this :P
[07:41] <JuJuBee> Thanks, I deserved that...
[07:41] <PriceChild> JuJuBee, not screwed
[07:41] <eX|Joe> jujimufu: I just told him not to compress it
[07:41] <PriceChild> JuJuBee, hopefully it'll be ok :)
[07:41] <mc44> klav: you want to use nvidia-glx-new
[07:42] <JuJuBee> Hope doesn't usually know where I live ;)
[07:42] <Zambezi> Anyone know how I can solve this problem: rar: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by rar). I'm using Dapper.
[07:42] <klav> mc44: how can i activate this?
[07:42] <eX|Joe> b0lland: you can also save it in ISO mode.  which should allow you to do a direct image burn
[07:42] <alves_rn> hello
[07:42] <jujimufu> eX|Joe: a) I didn't see it as I was looking at what I was typing, b) I just explain why he shouldn't compress it, c) don't be so bitchy about it, stuff happens, ok? :)
[07:42] <TMM> hyphenated: Il take a look at it, I can't imagine that would be a huge problem in itself, I just don't have the time now since I'm here trying to fix a computer... I never knew about O_LARGEFILE, and I've been hacking for quite a while now :)
[07:42] <eX|Joe> b0lland: which, in case there were a scratch on the cd, should prevent corruption.
[07:42] <klav> mc44: with the package manager?
[07:42] <mc44> klav: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new
[07:42] <godzirra> Heya guys.  Is there any way to use the text installer from the default Feisty CD?
[07:42] <alves_rn> is anyone using wine in feisty?
[07:42] <b0lland> eX|Joe: ok sounds cool :)
[07:42] <klav> mc44: ty
[07:43] <klav> i will try that soon as i get this hooked up to the web
[07:43] <hyphenated> TMM: you only find out about it after problems exactly like what you had ;-)
[07:43] <soundray> godzirra: no. For text-based installation, you have to use the alternate CD
[07:43] <mc44> klav: eh, you don't need to be on the web
[07:43] <godzirra> I'm on a laptop and trying to install Ubuntu (Feisty) is not working.  As soon as it passes the first screen, its giving me a weird white screen.
[07:43] <klav> oh!
[07:43] <klav> ok then
[07:43] <eX|Joe> jujimufu: i'm not bitching, im just stating...  i appreciate your comment because it was very valid and brought up a very good point.
[07:43] <klav> i try now :)
[07:43] <mc44> klav: or at least you shouldnt, its on the cd
[07:43] <godzirra> soundray: Sigh.  I'm at work and don't have another CD to burn it to.
[07:43] <godzirra> soundray: Is there any way to figure out why its doing weird stuff to my screen?
[07:43] <eX|Joe> jujimufu: but with him using iso mode, it should solve that issue.
[07:43] <b0lland> eX|Joe: looks like win32 only tho
[07:43] <godzirra> Ahh.  How odd.  It worked that time.  That was weird...
[07:43] <soundray> godzirra: have you tried safe graphics mode?
[07:44] <klav> mc44: says package not found
[07:44] <eX|Joe> err, i thought i saw it in package manager
[07:44] <TMM> hyphenated: well, thanks, I'll try to dick around with split a bit, and retrive the 'newest' half of the inbox file
[07:44] <godzirra> Yeah, that was the first thing I tried.
[07:44] <jujimufu> eXistenz: ISO would just make it easier to categorise the files and prepare the images to burn the DVDs. It has nothing to do with compression...
[07:44] <godzirra> Maybe the vga=771 thing worked.
[07:44] <TMM> hyphenated: I'll try and fix evo tomorrow... crappy shit :(
[07:44] <soundray> godzirra: let me guess, you have an ATI card
[07:44] <godzirra> Nvidia.
[07:44] <godzirra> ATI is teh devil.
[07:44] <mc44> klav: ahhhh, ok. I know the problem. Do "sudo apt-get update", with the CD in. Then use restricted driver manager again :)

[07:44] <clutchmm> I just setup an external usb drive on my desktop and shared it, I can access it from my laptop but I would like it to show up in the file browser side menu so I can access it from other programs. How do I do that?
[07:45] <soundray> godzirra: that's good, if you get past this initial hurdle, it will probably be fine
[07:45] <godzirra> Argh.  Apparently I downloaded the live cd.  sigh.
[07:45] <Mars^> Is Beryl absorbing memory heavy?
[07:45] <eXistenz> jujimufu: wtf?
[07:45] <klav> mc44: herm it wants the interwebs :(
[07:45] <godzirra> Hrm.  I downloaded the desktop edition.
[07:45] <godzirra> why did it boot me into the live cd?
[07:45] <alexmcpherson> Speaking of live CD's, how do I access the files on my hard drive? (looked in the documentation and not found out yet)
[07:45] <mc44> klav: right, but it should still have added the cd
[07:45] <soundray> godzirra: desktop=live
[07:45] <klav> it did
[07:45] <godzirra> Oh wait.. there's an install icon?  this is so odd.
[07:46] <mc44> klav: ok try the restriced manager again
[07:46] <klav> i see that - but now its hanging on a address
[07:46] <godzirra> ok, I'm going to go try installing again.
[07:46] <klav> can i force close term?

[07:48] <ubotu> antisystem32: 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)
[07:48] <fac3less> paste2.org is better ;)
[07:49] <klav> mc44: grrr ill just come back to this when i get it on the internet  - might be eeasier
[07:49] <klav> thanks a bunch though
[07:49] <jujimufu> eXistenz: that was going for eX|Joe
[07:49] <mc44> klav: no! we can fix it!
[07:49] <mc44> klav: :)
[07:49] <klav> ok ! i stay
[07:49] <soundray> nofxx: if the server allows root access by ssh, you can 'sshfs root@server ~/mnt'
[07:49] <klav> :)
[07:49] <mc44> klav: go into System-Admin-Network and disable all the networks
[07:50] <nofxx> soundray: thats the problem bro.... ubuntu dosent hav root , right?
[07:50] <PriceChild> !sudo | nofxx
[07:50] <ubotu> nofxx: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[07:50] <soundray> nofxx: is your client ubuntu, too?
[07:50] <nofxx> yes... both ubuntu
[07:51] <nofxx> PriceChild: tnxbro.. but that wasnt the problem .. xD
[07:51] <PriceChild> nofxx, ubuntu doesn't have root, we use sudo...?
[07:51] <soundray> nofxx: I have no suggestion, other than enabling the root account on the server, which is not recommended.
[07:51] <soundray> nofxx: you could set up nfs, though.
[07:51] <nofxx> PriceChild: i wanna edit remote files using sshfs
[07:51] <Mars^> how can i use beryl on ubuntu? Is there any deb for GNOME?
[07:51] <klav> mc44: easy way to do that? im not seeing anything to disable - i just unchecked what was checked
[07:52] <klav> is that does it :/
[07:52] <nofxx> soundray: hm... i see..
[07:52] <PriceChild> nofxx, well if you login with a user in the admin group then you can use sudo
[07:52] <mc44> klav: should do, try sudo apt-get update again
[07:52] <\x6e\x65\x72\x64> I have a question regarding USB storage, does ubuntu use write-back or write-through by default and how do I toggle this behavior?
[07:52] <soundray> PriceChild: please read carefully: *sshfs*
[07:52] <nofxx> PriceChild: I loggin as an admin user there... but it dosent allow me to edit files root files...
[07:52] <PriceChild> whoops misread the acronym :P
[07:52] <klav> mc44: just said Failed to Download
[07:53] <klav> did try CD
[07:53] <redmonkey> hello. i'm able to play or rip audio cd's with grip. it always says "no disc". somebody help me please!
[07:53] <klav> didn't*
[07:53] <godzirra> What is the best way to partition your drive?
[07:53] <PriceChild> nofxx, so why can't you just login with ssh?
[07:53] <mc44> klav: but it got to the end?
[07:53] <redmonkey> i'm NOT able i meant :)
[07:53] <klav> yes
[07:53] <nofxx> soundray: all I want is a way to edit files in my local gedit... heheh.... without the laggy scrolling of the terminal screen
[07:53] <nofxx> there is a jedi way to do it?
[07:53] <mc44> klav: it didn't try the cd? but it did the first time? :s
[07:54] <soundray> godzirra: you mean partitioning scheme?
[07:54] <godzirra> Yes, sorry.
[07:54] <klav> mc44: im sorry it did i see it now
[07:54] <soundray> nofxx: 'sudo -X user@server sudo gedit /etc/something'
[07:54] <soundray> nofxx: oops sorry
[07:54] <mc44> klav: cool, try restricted manager again :)
[07:54] <soundray> nofxx: 'ssh -X user@server sudo gedit /etc/something'
[07:55] <soundray> godzirra: how much hard disk space do you want to give to Ubuntu?
[07:55] <klav> mc44: same results
[07:55] <godzirra> 70 gigs.
[07:55] <Flip-flop> buenas
[07:55] <soundray> godzirra: how much RAM do you have?
[07:55] <godzirra> I'm sick of vista.  I hate it.  And I've been a long time linux user on the server side. ;)
[07:55] <godzirra> a gig.
[07:55] <godzirra> And this is for a laptop.
[07:55] <godzirra> If that matters.
[07:55] <jujimufu> can anyone help me out with bluetooth?
[07:56] <HET2> where do i get the developer man pages?
[07:56] <mc44> klav: :( ok, don't worry, you should probably just try getting your internet to work. what does "apt-cache policy nvidia-glx-new" say?
[07:56] <jujimufu> My phone sees the pc, the pc sees the phone, but I am asked a pin on my phone, and I give the pin I have in gammurc, but it doesn't work
[07:56] <soundray> godzirra: make / 12 GB, swap 1.1 GB and give the rest to /home
[07:56] <hyphenated> HET2: install the "manpages-dev" package
[07:56] <HET2> hyphenated, thanks so much
[07:56] <nofxx> soundray: that will lauch gedit on the remote , right  ? i dont have gedit there... hehe.. only local
[07:56] <godzirra> soundray: Doesn't most stuff go in /var and /usr?
[07:56] <godzirra> soundray: I don't usually have much in my home directory at all.
[07:57] <soundray> godzirra: that way you have plenty of room for software, enough swap to support suspend and no unnecessary fragmentation
[07:57] <klav> mc44 : says "installed: (none) Canidate: (none) "
[07:57] <soundray> godzirra: yes, most software goes in /usr
[07:57] <soundray> godzirra: then you're unusual -- most people use computers to work with data ;)
[07:57] <mc44> klav: ok, sorry, don't want to waste more of your time, probably quickest just to get your internet working
[07:57] <godzirra> lol
[07:57] <godzirra> I guess I'm used to running webservers.
[07:57] <klav> mc44: thanks !! ill be back when i get hooked up
[07:58] <klav> thanks again
[07:58] <godzirra> Where everything is usually in /var/www
[07:58] <JuJuBee> What is the best way to backup my homedir to an external drive?
[07:58] <godzirra> I've never used linux for a desktop for the most part.
[07:58] <CheshireViking> !backup | JuJuBee
[07:58] <ubotu> JuJuBee: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning
[07:58] <Henica> *sighs*  Okay guys, come on. x.x;  I need a mous eand keyboard macro recorder that I can use on ubuntu.
[07:59] <Henica> mouse*
[07:59] <mc44> klav: don't forget to turn networking back on :)
[07:59] <soundray> godzirra: on a web or database server, it can make sense to have a separate /var and leave /home on the / partition
[07:59] <TitanP4> hello
[07:59] <n2diy> JuJuBee: from Nautilus, right click on your home directory, archive it, and copy the .tgz file to an other disk.
[07:59] <klav> mc44: haha thanks will do
[08:00] <godzirra> soundray: I'm trusting your opinion.  I don't need a seperate boot partition?
[08:00] <soundray> Henica: macro recorders are a backward concept, which is why it'll be difficult to find a program for it.
[08:00] <godzirra> Why are they a backward concept?
[08:00] <TitanP4> I have a small problem. I installed a email notifier program , found it useless so I uninstalled it but the prefrence box still appears on startup
[08:01] <soundray> godzirra: it can be needed in certain circumstances, but it's better to do without one.
[08:01] <godzirra> Sorry, I'm full of questions today. ;)
[08:01] <clever>  hcitool cc 00:07:A4:8D:CF:F9
[08:01] <clever> Can't create connection: Input/output error
[08:01] <TitanP4> cant seem to get rid of it
[08:01] <clever> ARG
[08:01] <godzirra> soundray: why is having seperate partitions on the same drive a good idea?  Besides backup reasons?
[08:01] <andy___> How does one go about setting up the nvidia kernel module? I'm having trouble with it.
[08:01] <soundray> godzirra: you've got to ask yourself, why would you want to record macros? To perform repetitive tasks? Better to write a script
[08:02] <Henica> Why is it a backwards concept? I wan tthe mouse to move for me so I can fill out the forms needed to do my job easier. It's getting annoying that after two years that I have to go back to doing it the old way.. which barely leaves me enough time ot get the customer out of my store in under 20minutes.
[08:02] <soundray> godzirra: mainly because you can upgrade without losing your /home
[08:02] <godzirra> soundray: I suppose thats true.  When I think of Macros I think of stupid repetitive tasks in boring online games. ;)
[08:02] <godzirra> soundray: ahh.  Good reason.
[08:02] <soundray> godzirra: s/upgrade/fresh install/
[08:03] <godzirra> Makes sense.
[08:03] <soundray> Henica: Tab key not working for you?
[08:03] <trpr> godzirra: i think another justification is to prevent certain areas of the filesystem from growing too large.. ie the reason for having /var off in its own partition. most people don't need to worry about this sort of stuff
[08:03] <trpr> godzirra: as for myself, i have never bothered transfering my home partition from one install to another. i usually just start over.. but thats another justification
[08:04] <titun> where can I download a .deb file for google earth?
[08:04] <titun> google gives me a .bin file to download, can I install from a bin file?
[08:04] <soundray> Henica: I didn't intend to hurt your feelings.
[08:04] <zaggynl> titun, you can mount those files
[08:04] <titun> zaggynl: how do i mount the file?
[08:04] <godzirra> Ok, the all important question... how the hell do I turn off my system beep.  I think my coworkers are going to hurt me....
[08:05] <Henica> ... With a macro, I can fill out the 4 pages of forms in 2 seconds.
[08:05] <Henica> Without it it takes ages.
[08:05] <zaggynl> !bin
[08:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bin - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:05] <zaggynl> !images
[08:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about images - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:05] <PriceChild> titun, yeah, download that file then "sudo ./name_of_file.bin"
[08:05] <Henica> I don't want to switch back to Windows.
[08:05] <PriceChild> zaggynl, that isn't a cd image
[08:05] <Henica> But I may have to if I cannot find one of these programs that will make it work.
[08:05] <soundray> godzirra: System-Preferences-Sound-System Beep
[08:05] <titun> PriceChild: thanks..... checking it out
[08:05] <godzirra> Ahh.. ok.  Is there an easy way to switch to a different window manager?  I'm a big fan of ...  (I'm sort of ashamed to say this) blackbox.
[08:06] <soundray> Henica: please keep your text on one line. What kind of forms are you filling in -- browser forms?
[08:06] <zaggynl> PriceChild, did he mean a binary or a .bin file?
[08:06] <trpr> titun: from cmd line try 'file <thefileyoudled>' and it will tell you what you are dealing with. its probably a shell script which you can execute as PriceChild indicated
[08:06] <godzirra> Although I guess I'd lose all the cool gnome-ish stuff that Ubuntu seems to be famous for. ;)
[08:06] <PriceChild> zaggynl, google earth comes as an executable .bin
[08:06] <titun> trpr: humm..... ok let me try
[08:06] <zaggynl> oh
[08:06] <zaggynl> chmod 777 the bin file
[08:06] <soundray> godzirra: if it works like other wms, you have to just install it. Then you can select it at login time.
[08:07] <zaggynl> then ./filename.bin
[08:07] <Henica> No it's a program. And I need to figure out if I can do this or not.
[08:07] <zaggynl> heck, chmod +x might be enough
[08:07] <titun> zaggynl: ok
[08:07] <godzirra> ok.  Hrm.  Disabling the system beep just did it in X.  Not in the console.
[08:07] <soundray> Henica: please answer my questions then. Have you tried the Tab key instead of moving between fields with the mouse?
[08:07] <Henica> There are 64 questions that everyone has a basic answer for. I press one button it fills 95% of it out.
[08:07] <Henica> Yes.
[08:07] <Henica> I ahve.
[08:07] <Henica> have*
[08:08] <soundray> Henica: I sense a case of poor interface design here...
[08:08] <Henica> I do as well.
[08:08] <Henica> But I cannot change the program.
[08:08] <godzirra> ah!  rmmod pcspkr
[08:08] <Henica> So I must deal with it.
[08:08] <redmonkey> what codecs or whatever do i have to install to be able to listen an to rip audio cd's please?
[08:09] <bytecolor> Henica, what is the program?
[08:09] <titun> I have a 256 kbps cable modem connection for internet, this cable also holds tv channels, how do i know which tv tuner card will work in feisty
[08:09] <soundray> Henica: try xmacro. Warning: it was very basic when I last looked at it.
[08:09] <Henica> It's a program distributed by my cooperate office.
[08:09] <krecha> yo
[08:09] <redmonkey> the program grip for example always says that there is 'no disc' inserted
[08:09] <Henica> And I'll give it a shot.
[08:09] <titun> i have heard mythtv is a good software to watch tv
[08:10] <boka> !mythtv
[08:10] <ubotu> MythTV is a TV framework for Linux - Instructions for using with Ubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV
[08:10] <trpr> godzirra: hehe. thats a neat idea. i have visible bell on now for X, but when i switch to plain old console the beeps drive people around me crazy
[08:10] <redmonkey> !audio
[08:10] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[08:10] <Mars^> Hi all. I installed beryl from add/del but i dont know hoe to set up window decoration
[08:10] <Mars^> Coyld you help me?
[08:10] <soundray> godzirra: to make this permanent, you should probably blacklist pcspkr

[08:11] <bytecolor> beeping computers should be struck at least three times with a large mallet
[08:11] <andy___> I need help configuring my kernel source files for the nvidia driver. When I run the installer their website has, it tells me it cannot find the kernel source tree for the currently running kernel, and that my source files may not be installed/configured correctly. I know they're installed, so how do I configure them?
[08:11] <godzirra> soundray: I will after I get it installed.
[08:11] <soundray> bytecolor: have you got a recipe for other people's mobile phones? :)
[08:12] <bytecolor> heh, <sigh> no
[08:12] <Mars^> guys help me
[08:12] <godzirra> god (zirra) helps those who help themselves. :)
[08:12] <soundray> godzirra: come back here and enter "/msg ubotu blacklist" when you're ready.
[08:12] <godzirra> soundray: I already googled it ;)
[08:12] <godzirra> soundray: thanks for all your help.
[08:13] <soundray> godzirra: dang, you're fast
[08:13] <soundray> :)
[08:13] <godzirra> Hehe.  I'm a programmer by trade.  First thing I do is google something when I find something I don't know
[08:13] <godzirra> Ever jump into a programming channel and ask a question thats on the top of the google list if you google it?
[08:13] <godzirra> Smart people only do that once. :)
[08:13] <po> g,
[08:14] <Henica> Now if only I could figure out how to make it work. -.-; Ugg.
[08:15] <soundray> godzirra: when it comes to packaged software, my first stop is /usr/share/doc/packagename/ rather than google.
[08:15] <soundray> Henica: start with /usr/share/doc/xmacro/README
[08:16] <suyog> does ubuntu keep a log of all files accessed by a user in the current session? Please help me.
[08:16] <Henica> Read it. It doesn't say /how/ to run it.
[08:16] <po> Which purpuse have the subdirectories on /usr/lib ? I any case they aren't searched by ld.so.
[08:16] <Mars^> how can i cahnge theme if i have beryl?
[08:17] <soundray> Henica: have you tried entering xmacrorec in a gnome-terminal?
[08:17] <attickid> mars use emerald theme manager
[08:17] <godzirra> It feels so wrong to have a 50 gig /home partition... It goes against everything my poor little sysadmin heart stands for.
[08:17] <godzirra> ;)
[08:17] <Henica> Soundray - Only been using ubuntu for a few weeks now.. could you explain what you mean?
[08:17] <bitmvnch> godzirra: what's wrong with a big /home? ;)
[08:17] <godzirra> bitmvnch: I've never ran linux as a desktop.  Only as a server.
[08:18] <bitmvnch> godzirra: still, there are users in the loop, eh?
[08:18] <godzirra> bitmvnch: And any user that needs a 50 gig home directory on a server needs to be slapped. :)
[08:18] <bitmvnch> i suppose 50G needs context in size of overall storage(s).
[08:18] <Mars^> attickid: i installed beryl from add/del but i cant find emerald theme manager in there
[08:18] <godzirra> bitmvnch: not usually.  Its my own personal webserver.
[08:18] <bitmvnch> godzirra: sure but maybe 100 users, eh? ;)
[08:18] <godzirra> bitmvnch: This is for a laptop.  heh
[08:18] <suyog> someone, please? where can i view the log of all files accessed by a user within the last few hours? :-(
[08:18] <bitmvnch> godzirra: oh yeah if it's just you, man, that's probably a lot ;d
[08:18] <bitmvnch> give that to /opt
[08:18] <bitmvnch> or /var
[08:18] <soundray> suyog: there is no such thing
[08:18] <godzirra> bitmvnch: Thats what soundray suggested.
[08:18] <godzirra> Hrm.  Maybe I should just make a 20 gig home partition and make the other 50 gigs /
[08:19] <bitmvnch> yeh if you want to just give a bunch of space to some big pile of stuff, /var or /opt, i vote for /opt unless your /var is over half of /
[08:19] <suyog> soundray, oh.... are u sure? because every file has a "last accessed" metadata, no?
[08:19] <bitmvnch> godzirra: not a bad idea, never underestimate the value of personal, internet-located temp space.
[08:19] <godzirra>  bitmvnch I have no idea whats g oing to be on it so far.  I've never had a linux laptop :)
[08:19] <bitmvnch> oh, wait, you said this is for the laptop
[08:19] <attickid> Mars^:I'm a new baby to linux..I just added the packages and once I got the red diamond..I click on it..and there is theme manager srry I cant help you
[08:19] <bitmvnch> well, your /home is going to be full of porn, mp3s, and source code you don't understand
[08:19] <bitmvnch> :-P
[08:19] <godzirra> Yes
[08:19] <lamalex> godzirra, if this is a desktop, make a big home
[08:19] <godzirra> bitmvnch: lmao
[08:19] <godzirra> bitmvnch: I have a desktop for that.
[08:19] <Small_Mac> Flannel: srry to bother you, but i remember u showed me how to delete old kernels, if your here, could u tell me how to do that again (i wanna get rid of the 2.6.20-15 kernel that shows at boot screen, i could just edit grub menu file, but i wanted to get rid of it, especially since i don't know how big a file the old kernel is)
[08:19] <bitmvnch> lol
[08:19] <godzirra> lamalex: why?
[08:19] <soundray> Henica: gnome-terminal is in Applications-Accessories-Terminal. It's the power user's interface to Linux
[08:20] <oriez> i tried to change the keyboard setting to control my muster volume with my keyboard but its control the microphone volume instead
[08:20] <godzirra> lamalex: and how big is "big"?  20 gigs enough?
[08:20] <Henica> Okay, I got there. What do I need to do now?
[08:20] <goban> whyso@whyso-desktop:~/_spe$ speYou need to install at least wxPython v2.5.4.1 to run SPE. python-wxgtk2.8 is already the newest version. help???
[08:20] <trpr> godzirra: hehe. i am so much more productive w/ my laptop. i used to do all my development on my desktop but i've moved that activity. desktop is for fun and playing games ;)
[08:20] <godzirra> trpr: well, my desktop at work is linux.  My desktop at home is windows (specifically for playing games and downloading porn ;) and I have an old linux server to run my webservers.
[08:20] <soundray> suyog: there is no list. The access timestamp is a filesystem feature.
[08:21] <godzirra> so 50 gig / and 20 gig /home sound ok for a laptop?
[08:21] <Mars^> attickid: where do you have that theme manager?
[08:21] <lamalex> godzirra, switching them would be better
[08:21] <godzirra> lamalex: again, why? :)
[08:21] <lamalex> 20gb / and 50gb /home
[08:22] <godzirra> lamalex: I'm not against that, but I like knowing why I'm doing something before I do it =)
[08:22] <soundray> suyog: you could try something like 'find ~ -amin -120 -print0 | xargs -0 ls -ult'
[08:22] <lamalex> 1 second
[08:22] <godzirra> Sure
[08:22] <lamalex> talking to my boss
[08:22] <godzirra> heh ok.
[08:22] <attickid> Mars^: System>Preferences (a green diamond) using ubuntu 7.04
[08:22] <trpr> godzirra: its allot more space than i have available. i have a single 30gb partition. i'm not a big fan of carrying my home dir from install to install so this works for me
[08:23] <alexmcpherson> Hey, I just managed to mount my hard drive, but now it says that i do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents. How would I re-set the permissions? I can not go into windows since thats why I'm on linux right now - I wanted to get a few files just to upload them to the web for backup.
[08:23] <Mars^> attickid: did you installed it from add/del?
[08:23] <oriez> i tried to change the keyboard setting to control my muster volume with my keyboard but its control the microphone volume instead
[08:24] <bjames> hi all - I've killed /etc/X11/xorg.conf - can someone walk me through copying the file from my live CD onto the hard drive?
[08:24] <soundray> alexmcpherson: don't modify the permissions, that's a recipe for disaster.
[08:24] <attickid> Mars^:hold on
[08:24] <alexmcpherson> soundray: Okay, so how would i go about accessing the files?
[08:24] <soundray> alexmcpherson: are you still on the live CD?
[08:25] <alexmcpherson> yes
[08:25] <lamalex> godzirra: if you're using your laptop for most things, almost all of your files get stored in /home
[08:25] <attickid> Mars^: http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,130923-page,1-c,linux/article.html this web was so helpful to me
[08:25] <lamalex> you're used to a server where everything is in /var and /opt
[08:25] <klav> Bad news :( so i finally got connected to the internet - updated and then installed the nvidia drivers.. and now x won't start
[08:25] <dxdt> there is some basic command that will generate a decent xorg
[08:25] <soundray> alexmcpherson: make a directory for storing the files temporarily: 'mkdir ~/transfer'
[08:25] <godzirra> Yeah, I really am.
[08:25] <dxdt> but I dont' remember what it is :(
[08:26] <goban> whyso@whyso-desktop:~/_spe$ speYou need to install at least wxPython v2.5.4.1 to run SPE. python-wxgtk2.8 is already the newest version. help???
[08:26] <greyfrog> bjames: run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:26] <soundray> alexmcpherson: then copy the protected files to that directory with admin rights: 'sudo cp /path/to/file ~/transfer/'
[08:26] <alexmcpherson> Done...
[08:26] <dxdt> that is what it is
[08:26] <bjames> greyfrog: when booted into the liveCD?
[08:26] <greyfrog> bjames: that should recreate the xorg.conf file
[08:26] <lamalex> really only gets application binaries and /configuration stuff, and even a lot of that goes into your /home
[08:26] <klav> Do i need to reinstall? :(
[08:26] <greyfrog> bjames: boot into a terminal, not the live cd, and run that command
[08:27] <dxdt> bjames: no just on your broken xorg computer.  Not live cd.  you can get to a terminal with ctrl+alt+F1 or F2 or etc
[08:27] <alexmcpherson> erm. i can't even see the protected files. that's the thing. it just throws up the no permissions to view it show
[08:27] <bjames> greyfrog: how do I boot to a terminal?
[08:27] <godzirra> ok, well, its installing.
[08:27] <soundray> alexmcpherson: when you've got them all, change the permissions of all files in the transfer folder with 'sudo chown -R $(whoami).$(whoami) ~/transfer/*'
[08:27] <lamalex> make sense though?
[08:27] <klav> mc44: :(
[08:27] <greyfrog> bjames: see dxdt's reply ;) ctrl-alt-F1
[08:27] <bjames> greyfrog: that's the problem I was trying to fix - when booting a terminal (or actually killing xserver) I get a black screen
[08:27] <adriano284> hi all
[08:27] <mc44> klav: how did you install the drivers?
[08:27] <soundray> alexmcpherson: have you tried my suggestion before you complained?
[08:27] <klav> mc44: just as you said
[08:27] <soundray> alexmcpherson: the secret is in the sudo
[08:27] <godzirra> lamalex: Yeah..  Just seems weird, since I've been a server admin for 10ish years and never had a linux workstation. ;)
[08:27] <lamalex> ha that is weird
[08:27] <mc44> klav: with restricted manager?
[08:28] <klav> mc44: yeah
[08:28] <bjames> greyfrog: I need to do what I said - restore from within a live CD session, or boot to a command line form the live CD
[08:28] <mc44> klav: and what error is x giving?
[08:28] <alexmcpherson> Sounds like a motto... I'll try that. sceptical though so if this works, have a cookie.
[08:28] <klav> mc44: i did sudo apt-get install nvidblaablaa
[08:28] <dxdt> man can you guys DCC me some fire?  It is soooo cold in this building.
[08:28] <klav> mc44: then went to manager
[08:28] <klav> it said :
[08:28] <soundray> alexmcpherson: bah, I can do without your cookies *and* your scepticism.
[08:28] <greyfrog> bjames: you shouldn't need to do that unless something else screwed up as well...
[08:29] <mc44> klav: you didn't need to do the apt-get install thing if restricted manager was working...
[08:29] <bjames> greyfrog; I can't use my distro
[08:29] <alexmcpherson> soundray: the folders have spaces in the names, so I'm guessing I need quotes around...?
[08:29] <bjames> I HAVE to use the live CD in one way or another
[08:29] <RustyJames> How do i use webdav for gmx media center with feisty fawn?
[08:29] <lamalex> alexmcpherson: or like this word1\ word2
[08:29] <alexmcpherson> as in the Documents and Settings folders.
[08:29] <soundray> alexmcpherson: yes. Also use 'sudo cp -r ...' if your copy source is an entire directory.
[08:30] <lamalex> Documents\ and\ Settings
[08:30] <godzirra> lamalex: I meant it seems weird cause I'm used to it being all in /var and /opt ;)  Not that it was weird that I never used linux as a workstation :)
[08:30] <soundray> alexmcpherson: hold on
[08:30] <bjames> greyfrog: basically I need someone to help me mount my main hard drive, then copy the xorg.conf file from the live CD to it
[08:30] <klav> mc44: it just says "Failed to load graphical interface"
[08:30] <lamalex> godzirra: it is weird at first, I went through the same thing
[08:30] <bytecolor> bjames, you dont need X to boot linux, that is the point
[08:30] <dxdt> bjames: and what we are saying is that unless you messed up other stuff, that command will work.  If you messed up other stuff, simply copying your xorg.conf probably won't fix it.
[08:30] <soundray> alexmcpherson: it's better to create a tar archive if you're backing up trees with lots of files.
[08:31] <bjames> bytecolor: actually I do
[08:31] <klav> mc44: the manager wasn't working - remember?
[08:31] <iv1> hello, (7.04) just wanted to ask how I can connect to a server such as:
[08:31] <iv1> \\Lbesrv\public\Semaine_ENAC\PHOTOS ?
[08:31] <greyfrog> bjames: mount should be pretty easy to do... just sudo mount /dev/hdX (hda or hdb what ever you drive is)
[08:31] <klav> oh wait...
[08:31] <bjames> bytecolor: the whole point of the exercise was to fix the problem that as soon I shut xserver (and during boot) the screen is blank
[08:31] <klav> mc44: shit.. it was :( i just wan't connected to the internet - :(
[08:31] <klav> mc44: thats why it wasn't doing anything
[08:31] <klav> mc44: so now - i have to reinstall? :/
[08:31] <bjames> greyfrog: can we move to another channel?
[08:31] <mc44> klav: no
[08:31] <mc44> klav: don't worry :)
[08:31] <klav> :(
[08:31] <RustyJames> How do i use webdav with feisty fawn?
[08:31] <klav> poops
[08:32] <mc44> klav: run "sudo nvidia-config"
[08:32] <klav> from?
[08:32] <mc44> klav: run "sudo nvidia-sconfig"
[08:32] <greyfrog> bjames: I need to leave soon... dxdt is right though
[08:32] <mc44> klav: from the command line?
[08:32] <mc44> klav: press ok on the X error
[08:32] <greyfrog> bjames: you should be able to get another terminal window open after the xserver fails
[08:32] <klav> mc44: ok hermm 1 sec
[08:32] <mc44> klav: and its "sudo nvidia-xconfig" (right 3rd time) :)
[08:32] <bjames> I'll start from the start
[08:32] <bjames> then you all have more context
[08:32] <greyfrog> bjames: if you can't, then you have another problem you currently aren;t aware of
[08:33] <klav> k
[08:33] <greyfrog> bjames: sounds good :)
[08:33] <bjames> my monitor blanks during boot, then when xserver (gdm login thing) start it comes up
[08:33] <lamalex> bjames: do yu have splash enabled?
[08:33] <alexmcpherson> okay, in the filebrowser its there for all of 3 seconds, and root terminal doesn't show anything. Cheer's for the help though. My dinners ready, be back later to get this solved.
[08:33] <mc44> klav: you ran it?
[08:33] <bjames> so I decided to run   sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:34] <bjames> which killed all graphics
[08:34] <klav> mc44: yes
[08:34] <alexmcpherson> and soundray? you dont get your cookie. ;)
[08:34] <mc44> klav: what did it say?
[08:34] <bjames> now only the live CD seems to work
[08:34] <klav> says "wrote to x-conf file
[08:34] <mc44> klav: ok run "sudo nvidia-settings"
[08:34] <Cavallek> what should I use for antivirus ?
[08:34] <lamalex> bjames: boot into recovery mode and run that again
[08:34] <klav> k 1 sec
[08:34] <nofxx> hum... so.. guess the only way to edit the files I want using sshfs is enabling the root acc.... how to do it, and why it isnt a good idea?
[08:34] <dedi> how can i shutdown X (without that it restarts)
[08:34] <alexmcpherson> yeh. well. thanks for the help though.
[08:34] <AlbertoP> hi
[08:34] <bjames> lamalex: how do I boot recovery mode?
[08:34] <bjames> is that from the live CD?
[08:34] <lamalex> no
[08:35] <RustyJames> Did someone ever used WebDAV?
[08:35] <klav> mc44: gtk warning - cannot open display
[08:35] <lamalex> bjames: when you're at grub 1.5 hit esc
[08:35] <bjames> I shall reboot
[08:35] <lamalex> it will say <kernel version> (recovery mode)
[08:35] <mc44> klav: ok, its a gui tool, sorry. Run "startx"
[08:35] <lamalex> bjamesL wait
[08:35] <bjames> hold on
[08:35] <klav> k
[08:35] <lamalex> bjames: wait
[08:35] <jart> i upgraded my monitor in Edgy and no matter what I put in my xorg.conf, ubuntu refuses to display 1680x10550 screen resolution

[08:39] <bjames> lamalex: thank you for the patience so far
[08:39] <lamalex> np :)
[08:39] <lamalex> here to help
[08:40] <RAdams> Okay, great story...
[08:40] <bjames> this is only one of a host of problems with the PC
[08:40] <bjames> you wouldn't believe how much of a phaff it is
[08:40] <lamalex> heh
[08:40] <lamalex> well lets take it one step at a time
[08:41] <lamalex> are you comfortable with the command line?
[08:41] <bjames> it's old (I mean OLD) so I had to flash the BIOS to recognise the drives
[08:41] <bjames> yeah
[08:41] <lamalex> ok good
[08:41] <RAdams> So, I have a Windows XP Pro Install CD (who doesn't?) It's legal and all. So anyway, to install Windows... I have to use
[08:41] <lamalex> :)
[08:41] <RAdams> A FLOPPY DISK
[08:41] <administrador> hola
[08:41] <RAdams> That's right
[08:41] <bjames> the BIOS is fine detecting the drives - it just wont boot from the!
[08:41] <bjames> them*
[08:41] <RAdams> Because Windows can't read my onboard Promise Controller
[08:41] <RAdams> Which Ubuntu reads perfectly
[08:41] <bjames> so I have to boot from the live CD and select "boot from primary hard disk"
[08:41] <administrador> hola
[08:41] <bjames> it's so much hastle
[08:41] <lamalex> yes
[08:41] <lamalex> that sucks
[08:41] <nofxx> painkiler: tnx that works... can I just use passwd , and log in direct as root ?
[08:42] <klav> mc44: ok ran that
[08:42] <klav> mc44: with nv chosen
[08:42] <mc44> klav: ok try startx again
[08:42] <klav> same error: no screen found
[08:42] <ZeroZiat> Hi, umm, Ubuntu is giving me problems with wireless internet.
[08:42] <klav> mc44: we need the internet yet? if not ill bring the lappy in here
[08:42] <bjames> I got an old compactflash (32MB ) and tried to write the MBR to that, but to no avail
[08:42] <scoobydoo28139> can ubuntu run a dell 944 printer through wine?
[08:42] <bjames> I think it needs to be on the other IDE cable
[08:42] <bjames> but one problem at a time hey!
[08:43] <RAdams> scooby, there's a CUPS driver for that Dell series, I'm almost positive
[08:43] <mc44> klav: no shouldn't do
[08:43] <RAdams> I can go look
[08:43] <mc44> klav: but bring the lappy in if it stops you running from room to room :)
[08:43] <bjames> right
[08:43] <bjames> rebooting now
[08:43] <klav> ok yeah i have it now lol
[08:43] <Shrimpy_> is there a way i can run a live cd but on a flash drive
[08:44] <scoobydoo28139> RAdams: ok I been lookin around and aint found much. Its a printer scanner
[08:44] <mc44> klav: ok "cd /etc/X11"
[08:44] <klav> k
[08:44] <rambo3> Shrimpy_, its called install on flash drive
[08:44] <painkiler> nofxx: sudo passwd root
[08:44] <mc44> klav: then "ls", there should be some backup xorg.conf files
[08:44] <rambo3> !install | Shrimpy_
[08:44] <ubotu> Shrimpy_: 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
[08:44] <bjames> booting recovery mode...
[08:44] <painkiler> that will set the password
[08:44] <godzirra> hRM.
[08:44] <RAdams> Scooby: Yeah, one of those all in ones right? I'm hunting now...
[08:44] <klav> k i see them
[08:44] <godzirra> After finishing the install, it looks like it REALLY doesn't want to reboot my system.
[08:45] <godzirra> Its sitting at "The system is going down for reboot NOW!  REbooted from gdm menu."
[08:45] <scoobydoo28139> RAdoms: Yes , all in one, nice printer but it is not worth what dell wanted for it lol
[08:45] <mc44> klav: what do you have (dont need precise filenames :)
[08:45] <bjames> lamalex: am I just to copy the backup of xorg.conf I made,?
[08:45] <Shrimpy_> thanks rambo3. i could not fine the link
[08:46] <bjames> that would be my first guess
[08:46] <RAdams> Scooby: Damn... http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Dell-Photo_AIO_Printer_944
[08:46] <lamalex> sure you could do that first
[08:46] <RAdams> You probably already saw that though
[08:46] <rambo3> Shrimpy_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromUSB
[08:46] <RAdams> That's just stupid
[08:46] <scoobydoo28139> brb looking
[08:46] <klav> xorg.conf.#'s and xorg.conf.backup
[08:46] <RAdams> Offloading processes that are OS-dependant? WTFBBQ?
[08:46] <warbox> someone speak spanish to help me please ??
[08:47] <klav> !es
[08:47] <ubotu> Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[08:47] <warbox> thanks
[08:47] <bjames> lamalex: then startx?
[08:47] <scoobydoo28139> Wah? makes it cheaper? wow i got ripped off! lol
[08:47] <RAdams> warbox: #ubuntu-es
[08:47] <lamalex> give it a shot yah
[08:47] <warbox> thank you guys
[08:47] <RAdams> I feel for you, Scooby
[08:47] <Sp4rKy> please, is there a way to add a group in another group ? in practice it's to add all the users who are on my ldap server to the audio group
[08:47] <RAdams> That's just stupid
[08:48] <bjames> lamalex: ok, seems to be starting
[08:48] <lamalex> nice
[08:48] <scoobydoo28139> RAdoms: thanks :) Ah well its almost paid for:(
[08:48] <droNe_SEXY> http://adbux.org/?r=drone666
[08:48] <klav> poops wheres the format button :(*
[08:49] <bjames> lamalex: so I'm back to my original state - stuck at 640x480
[08:49] <mc44> klav: eh?
[08:49] <klav> mc44: :(
[08:49] <bjames> and probably no screen during boot
[08:49] <klav> mc44: would it be easier to format?
[08:49] <klav> and just reinstall?
[08:49] <b0lland> I'm trying to set a desktop wallpaper in gnome, shouldn't be rocket science I guess, right click, "change desktop background". But in e.g. /usr/share/backgrounds or /usr/share/wallpapers where I have lots of default jpgs, no images are shown in the file list. I have to switch from "images" to "all files" to see them, and then I still can't select them as desktop backgrounds. Really odd, no luck googling it so far
[08:49] <mc44> klav: no :)
[08:49] <klav> :(
[08:49] <lamalex> bjames: for the 640x480, just edit xorg.conf to your desired resolution
[08:49] <mc44> klav: ok "sudo mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.BACKUP"
[08:50] <mc44> klav: er not backup
[08:50] <scoobydoo28139> RAdoms: just one of those ubuntu / linux hang ups. But I am still happy with ubuntu. I am also looking for stuff for my ati tv wonder elete pci card too.
[08:50] <mc44> klav: choose a different name :)
[08:50] <godzirra> Ok, after booting up my laptop after it finished installing, I get the weird white screen of death.
[08:50] <godzirra> thats after it goes past the ubuntu pretty loading screen.
[08:50] <klav> ok
[08:50] <yme1> need help istalling a intel wireless link 4965 mini pci express card (wifi) and making it work
[08:51] <mc44> klav: then "sudo cp xorg.conf.backup xorg.conf"
[08:51] <bjames> lamalex: under "screen" there are lots of resolutions
[08:51] <five_star> hey guys, can anybody point me to a decent guide for installing a webserver on 7.10?
[08:51] <bjames> I just don't get the option from the graphical resolution chooser
[08:51] <klav> the one i just made?
[08:51] <godzirra> I think GDM is killing my laptop
[08:51] <Nahi> PurpZeY, here?
[08:51] <lamalex> bjames: then remove all the oens you don't want
[08:51] <klav> or the real ."backup"
[08:51] <yme1> need help istalling a intel wireless link 4965 mini pci express card (wifi) and making it work
[08:51] <mc44> klav: yeah the other one, not the one you made :)
[08:52] <RAdams> Scooby: ATI support is pretty hairy. I spent a long time mucking with my old ATI 2006 AIW, usually to no avail. Looks like support might get better though: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=735
[08:52] <klav> ok
[08:52] <mc44> klav: startx
[08:52] <five_star> Hey guys, why do programmers always mix up Christmas and Halloween?
[08:52] <klav> mc44: "fatal error - no screens found"
[08:52] <bjames> lamalex: ok, here's the painful part the monitor is 1366x768
[08:52] <five_star> BECAUSE DEC 25 = OCT 31
[08:52] <yme1> need help istalling a intel wireless link 4965 mini pci express card (wifi) and making it work
[08:53] <Nahi> wireless on linux is so sensetive everytime i move my laptop it get disconnected why is that lol pretty weird eh?
[08:53] <lamalex> bjames: and?
[08:53] <iv1> does anyone here know why the wireless-connection to an ORANGE-LIFEBOX doesn't work? It doesn't work the WEP nor the WAP. even if at other places these two guys work very nicely
[08:53] <mc44> klav: ok do "sudo cp xorg.conf.#s xorg.conf"
[08:53] <godzirra> Anyone have any ideas?
[08:53] <scoobydoo28139> RAdoms: if i knew how to add you to a friends list in xchat i would your just full of good reading:)
[08:53] <lamalex> bjames: if it's not listed, just add it
[08:53] <mc44> klav: with one of the numbered backups
[08:53] <Arrick> !openssh
[08:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about openssh - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:53] <bjames> lamalex: I had so much trouble doing this once with that res
[08:53] <klav> does it matter which one? earliest?
[08:53] <Arrick> wtf
[08:53] <Arrick> !ssh
[08:53] <mc44> klav: yeah, earliest
[08:53] <ubotu> SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[08:53] <lamalex> bjames: what trouble?
[08:54] <bjames> lamalex: it not accepting it
[08:54] <bjames> lamalex: it was a while ago now though
[08:54] <Nahi> Arrick, there is only a unix version there will it work on linux ?
[08:54] <lamalex> give it a shot, maybe th new xorg 7.2 it will work
[08:54] <klav> mc44: ok started up
[08:54] <Aces3Up> ha
[08:55] <Aces3Up> ha
[08:55] <Aces3Up> ha

[08:55] <Aces3Up> ha
[08:55] <Aces3Up> h
[08:55] <Aces3Up> ah
[08:55] <bjames> lamalex: it seems to refuse complete the file
[08:55] <klav> mc44: yeah but screen looks stretched
[08:55] <mc44> Aces3Up: stop that please
[08:55] <bjames> lamalex: it's still only giving me 640x480
[08:55] <klav> mc44: but at least its something!!
[08:55] <Aces3Up> what is a good website to check ot?
[08:55] <klav> horrarrryy
[08:55] <lamalex> did you restart x/
[08:55] <bjames> I did Ctrl Alt Backspace
[08:55] <bjames> then sudo startx
[08:55] <mc44> klav: yeah :)
[08:56] <lamalex> are you sure your video card supports that high of a resolution?
[08:56] <Phantomse> Iwas installing some drivers . Backt up my xorg and after that I messt it up. When starting it loads til login and givs the message if I licke too seethe xorg error, after that apears where it left of loading alsa. How doo I get to login  to enter sudo cp /etc/x11/xorg.conf /etc/x11/xorg.conf.good ????
[08:56] <bjames> lamalex: good point
[08:56] <bjames> it is old
[08:56] <klav> mc44: so now am i OK? or should i do something else?
[08:56] <bjames> lamalex: I'm sure it does at least 1024x768
[08:56] <godzirra> It definitely looks like GDM is killing my system.  Is there any way to start ubuntu without starting gdm?
[08:56] <rambo3> Phantomse, rescue mode
[08:56] <mc44> klav: well, the nvidia drivers are obviously not installed correctly :s
[08:56] <bjames> lamalex: I think 1280x1024 as well
[08:56] <klav> mc44: oh
[08:56] <mc44> klav: what does restricted manager say now?
[08:56] <bjames> lamalex: although I think 1366x768 is not compatible
[08:56] <godzirra> wtf.  half the time it works and half the time it doesnt
[08:56] <klav> mc44: well should i be hooked up to the internet?
[08:57] <rambo3> Phantomse, ctrl+alt+f2 too
[08:57] <aricz> godzirra: just try 'ctrl+alt+F1-F6' ..
[08:57] <mc44> klav: na, just see what it says
[08:57] <lamalex> godzirra: check gdm logs?
[08:57] <klav> mc44: all is there - with nvidia UNchecked
[08:57] <r00tintheb0x> Good afternoon you all :)
[08:57] <r00tintheb0x> How is everyone?
[08:57] <Arrick> Nahi, I was hitting that for me
[08:57] <klav> oh no- it says inuse
[08:57] <klav> sorry
[08:57] <Phantomse> rambo3: rescue mode brings the last good xorg or the standard
[08:57] <Nahi> oh okay
[08:57] <EADG>  What program can I install to run programs from a Win XP install (instead of rebooting into XP)?
[08:58] <mc44> klav: right, but not enabled?
[08:58] <Eric_Jardas> EADG, try wine
[08:58] <klav> right
[08:58] <rambo3> Phantomse, none. , you are in text mode
[08:58] <mc44> klav: ok, enable it and run nvidia-settings
[08:58] <Phantomse> rambo3:thancks
[08:58] <EADG> Eric_Jardas: In need to reinstall programs with Wine unfortunatly.
[08:58] <WaxyFresh> ARRG me maties,me and my crew need to upgrade our ship,the SS Firefox V2.0.0.2 to V2.0.0.4,ow do i do this from my ships CLI?
[08:58] <Small_Mac>  is there someway to create an icon on the panel bar that links to a folder? (trying to have a squeaky clean desktop)
[08:58] <slmnhq> EADG, also look into Xen, QEMU
[08:58] <klav> mc44: ok 1 sec brb
[08:58] <Eric_Jardas> EADG, not really
[08:58] <aricz> haha waxy
[08:59] <johnybot> Small_Mac: definately
[08:59] <EADG> slmnhq: will do.
[08:59] <bjames> lamalex: I've removed the "weird" settings and am rebooting
[08:59] <wy> emacs starts using some ugly fonts after I upgraded to 7.04. How do I correct that?
[08:59] <EADG> Eric_Jardas: I'm doing something wrong I fear, any help?
[08:59] <OhMyAudi> Bing bong, Hi all!
[08:59] <johnybot> Small_Mac: set a launcher to run nautilus /home/username/desktop
[09:00] <Small_Mac> johnybot thx, is there a quick tutorial link u know of? or should i hit google now (i don't mind)
[09:00] <Eric_Jardas> EADG, you just have to mount your windows partition into ubuntu and you can run .exe files (the ones that work with wine)
[09:00] <Small_Mac> johnybot o cool
[09:00] <jart> yea so i can't seem to get 915res to work
[09:00] <bjames> lamalex: I think it might be an incorrect refresh rate
[09:00] <Eric_Jardas> EADG, I don't know if that works for all programs but for 2 programs I use it works
[09:01] <lamalex> bjames: incorrect refresh rate usually doesn't force your resolution down i don't think
[09:01] <lamalex> it usually just says like "no signal" or something liek that
[09:01] <jart> 915res didn't work on its own, so i manually edited /etc/default/915... to overwrite a randomly picked mode from '4d' from the listing displayed by 915resolution -l.  Now it lists as having 'Mode 4d : 1680x1050, 24 bits/pixel' available but it still won't seem to work
[09:02] <bjames> lamalex: during boot the monitor says "Unsupported video mode"
[09:02] <alex-90g> hey guys, I have an issue with my ubuntu install. everything seems to be working fine except for my sound. I have a 2.1 speaker system and only seem to be getting sound out of the right speaker. I have a sound card that has no linux drivers (to my knowledge), M-Audio revolution 5.1
[09:02] <EADG> Eric_Jardas: hehe, I tried just that and nothing happens when launching the .exes, but I'll explore that abit further... easier than setting up a new program.
[09:02] <Small_Mac> johnybot srry, but how do i set a launcher in nautilus, (was googling)
[09:03] <bjames> lamalex: but this problem is seperate to the 640x480 problem
[09:03] <rambo3> alex-90g, did you check alsamixer
[09:03] <Eric_Jardas> EADG, like I said, I don't know if it works for all programs but for some that i use, ex. Navicat, it works
[09:03] <Cristian> Hello
[09:03] <johnybot> Small_Mac: right click on the panel, there should be an option to add an item
[09:03] <alex-90g> rambo3, what is that? im a noob
[09:03] <Nahi> i got this while installing ssh client checking whether the C compiler (gcc -g ) works... no
[09:03] <Nahi> configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables.
[09:03] <Cristian> my name is Cristia
[09:03] <Cristian> i fram Brazil
[09:03] <johnybot> Small_Mac: add a custom launcher
[09:03] <alex-90g> rambo3, been using linux 2 days now
[09:03] <Nahi> :(
[09:03] <lamalex> bjames: might be, the unsupported mode might be the resoltuon
[09:03] <Cristian> from
[09:03] <rambo3> alex-90g, it is a termian program . open terminal and type alsamixer
[09:03] <johnybot> Small_Mac: put the command as 'nautilus /home/username/Desktop/
[09:03] <Nahi> alex-90g,  i've been using linux for the past 13 hours
[09:04] <lamalex> bjames: yes it is
[09:04] <lamalex> xorg.conf lists resolutions as modes
[09:04] <Small_Mac> johnybot cool, do u also happen to know the equivalent in kubuntu, hehe
[09:04] <lamalex> try like, 1280x786 and see if it works
[09:04] <txberiu> hullo
[09:04] <lamalex> 1280x1024 i mean
[09:04] <johnybot> Small_Mac: I believe you change nautilus to konqueuer
[09:04] <txberiu> does anybody happen to know how I can get my public key off keyserver.ubuntu.com?
[09:05] <rambo3> alex-90g, up down to change (surround and master or some else) , Esc button so save and exit
[09:05] <bjames> lamalex: that's too big
[09:05] <CarlFK> why would grep think lshw output is not text?  carl@asus17:~$ sudo lshw|grep "capabilities: usb" = Binary file (standard input) matches
[09:05] <bjames> lamalex: I think 1024x768 will have to be the one
[09:05] <lamalex> ok
[09:05] <Small_Mac> johnybot thx, yeah i did ask the same questino in kubuntu but currently no one knows there, so i asked here =)
[09:05] <lamalex> well try another one and see if it works, ever 800x600 will be better
[09:05] <johnybot> Small_Mac: wow im an idiot and i know
[09:05] <lamalex> s/ever/even
[09:07] <EADG> Eric_Jardas: Mirc fires up from the XP partition no prob, I guess it was a problem with the other programs i was trying to run. Thanks for the heads up.
[09:07] <Small_Mac> johnybot srry =)
[09:07] <bjames> lamalex: I think I need to manually specify a refresh rate
[09:08] <rambo3> CarlFK, becouse it is a sudo
[09:08] <lamalex> bjames: you might
[09:08] <CarlFK> rambo3: wasn't the case on 2 other boxes
[09:08] <Eric_Jardas> EADG, some programs just don't work with wine :(
[09:08] <rambo3> CarlFK, then i don't know
[09:09] <alex-90g> rambo3, can you tell me how alsamixer is going to make my sound work properly if there are no drivers for it?
 hey guys, I have an issue with my ubuntu install. everything seems to be working fine except for my sound. I have a 2.1 speaker system and only seem to be getting sound out of the right speaker.
[09:10] <bjames> lamalex: I'm trying dpkg-reconfigure xserver again
[09:10] <bjames> it doesn't seem to have my driver type
[09:10] <bjames> (NVidia)
[09:10] <bjames> so is vga or vesa best?
[09:10] <lamalex> use nv
[09:10] <alex-90g> rambo3, what?
[09:10] <bjames> ok
[09:10] <Eric_Jardas> Can anyone tell me a good desktop recorder that doesn't suck
[09:10] <sundu> hi! new to ubuntu - i have installed it on a existing winXP m/c. When i boot, the boot options are shown - how do i change the order of entries in the menu
[09:10] <rambo3> alex-90g, it means there is a driver or you would't get sound
[09:11] <johnybot> alex-90g: if you get sound out of one speaker it might be a settings issue
[09:11] <kdubois> sundu, you need to modify /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:11] <Jowi> Eric_Jardas, you have a small list here : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts
[09:11] <bluefox83> is there any info about ubuntu signing a deal with microsoft, like xandros, and about a dozen other distros
[09:11] <bluefox83> ?
[09:11] <alex-90g> rambo3, im sorry. don't really know much about this
[09:11] <atlef> Eric_Jardas : recordmydesktop
[09:11] <kdubois> sundu, its pretty well commented, there should be a line in it that says 'default entry = 0', you can change the 0 to whatever you want
[09:11] <lamalex> bluefox82: not yet and hopefully not ever
[09:12] <lamalex> bluefox82: or at least it's still secret
[09:12] <kdubois> (it may not say exactly 'default entry' but something along those lines
[09:12] <alex-90g> rambo3, johnybot, its definitely not a hardware issue as I dual boot windows and it works perfectly fine within that environment
[09:12] <Eric_Jardas> atlef, I have tried it but it sucks, not too good picture and small fps so when I scroll fast the program doesn't record it nice
[09:13] <Eric_Jardas> Jowi, Thank you
[09:13] <johnybot> alex-90g: it could be a driver issue or a settings issue
[09:13] <johnybot> settings are easier to fix
[09:13] <sundu> thanx kdubois - kust trying it now
[09:14] <alex-90g> johnybot, is there a way to see if my sound card is supported at all? a list or something?

[09:16] <bjames> lamalex: keyboard variant?
[09:16] <lamalex> depends where you live
[09:16] <bjames> UK
[09:16] <bjames> I use a "normal" keyboard
[09:16] <bjames> ;)
[09:16] <lamalex> idk, i live in the US
[09:17] <godzirra> Argh.  Half the time I can't get ubuntu to boot right on my laptop.  It gives me this white screen where the white slowly fades in and covers all my screen (which freezes my laptop)
[09:17] <bjames> I shoul duse idk?
[09:17] <godzirra> anyone have any suggestions?
[09:17] <keck0f> hi.
[09:17] <mage__> uh
[09:17] <lamalex> is it asking you to select from a list or enter something by hand
[09:17] <bjames> by hand
[09:17] <mage__> godzirra: is that after you turn it on?
[09:17] <bjames> it's referring me to a file with loads of crap in
[09:17] <lamalex> you can probally just hit enter
[09:17] <mage__> godzirra: this laptop im sitting at, half the time I open it up and fire it up that happens
[09:17] <lamalex> and not put anything
[09:18] <mage__> its because the monitor wiring is broken :)
[09:18] <Yitram> hey there really are ppl here
[09:18] <mage__> so I've been keeping this particular laptop in the same screen position
[09:19] <bartzitz> hello, after switching to a different user session and then switching back touchpad speed gets insane, and scroller moves the cursor along with scrolling the page. tweaking mouse speed in preferences doesn't help. is there any way to reset the mouse state without restarting X?
[09:19] <bjames> lamalex: I'm thinking maybe I should disable glx?
[09:19] <keck0f> how can i allow switching from X to terminal using "Ctrl+Alt+Fn"? (modify a line in /etc/X11/xorg.conf but what line)
[09:19] <bjames> lamalex: it's asking me for modules to load by default
[09:19] <mage__> keck0f: how did you disable that?
[09:19] <lamalex> bjames: leave what it has
[09:20] <keck0f> mage__: it's disabled by default. btw: Ctrl-Alt-Backspace works and kills X but Ctrl-Alt-Fn does not work, why?
[09:20] <alex-90g> rambo3, I found this on alsa-projects website: http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=Midiman%2FMAudio&card=Revolution+5.1.&chip=ICE1724+%28Envy24HT%29&module=ice1724
[09:20] <alex-90g> it seems to want me to install something
[09:21] <godzirra> mage__: no, thats EVERY time I try and start X.
[09:21] <mage__> keck0f: ubuntu fiesty? works for me
[09:21] <mage__> godzirra: oh just X?
[09:21] <mage__> interesting
[09:21] <godzirra> Yes.
[09:21] <Dutchy> When i try to remove gaim (apt-get remove gaim) it wants to remove ubuntu-desktop too, does that matter? or is it some sort of meta-package
[09:21] <godzirra> Well, it worked fine when I booted into recovery mode anyways.
[09:21] <Yitram> I have a Buffer I/O error...but its not for a CD or a Floppy disk....the drive its indicating is my windows hard disk.....it appears 100 or so times during bootup, and i think its slowing it down...my significantly slower laptop boots ubuntu quicker than my laptop.  I've looked around the forums but nothing seems to describe my situation.  If anyone has any ideas I'm open to them
[09:21] <godzirra> but it happens 100% of the time if I type startx in recovery mode.
[09:22] <mage__> keck0f: I just checked it on my "follow instructions" computer
[09:22] <Paddy_EIRE> hey guys, I have just installed ubuntu to a friends computer successfully.. until I reboot and I get grub error 18
[09:22] <keck0f> mage__: 6.06 lts amd64 server
[09:22] <klav> hermm :(
[09:22] <klav> i'm still getting "Cannot start x"
[09:22] <bjames> lamalex: restarting (again...)
[09:23] <rambo3> alex-90g, scroll down untill  vi /home/xxx/.asoundrc
[09:23] <mage__> keck0f: pastebin xorg conf and gdm.conf
[09:23] <klav> mc44: sorry to bother you again :( x won't start on restart
[09:23] <mage__> keck0f: if its disabled in xorg.conf I'd notice it, but I'm thinking its disabled in the gdm.conf
[09:24] <mag_> hello I installed a program with wine but now I don't k now how to eject this program I don't know where is it
[09:24] <h4wk0> /home/xxx/.wine/drive_c/Program\ \Files/
[09:24] <bartzitz> hello, after switching to a different user session and then switching back touchpad speed gets insane, and scroller moves the cursor along with scrolling the page. tweaking mouse speed in preferences doesn't help. is there any way to reset the mouse state without restarting X?

[09:26] <bjames> lamalex: magic!

[09:26] <mag_> h4wk0: I have  archivos de programa that is like Programs files in spanish but I there aren't enything
[09:26] <bjames> lamalex: it seems to work now (once x has started)
[09:26] <Mikeh> Paddy_EIRE, did you use the live CD or alternate install
[09:26] <bjames> although I still get a blank screen during boot
[09:26] <lamalex> cool
[09:27] <h4wk0> Paddy_EIRE; read this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=77042

[09:27] <lamalex> bjames. look in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:27] <lamalex> see if splash and quiet are there
[09:27] <Paddy_EIRE> Mikeh: live cd
[09:27] <alex-90g> rambo3, creating that file is all I need to do?
[09:27] <jazz113> #ubuntu -m irc.recycled-irc.net
[09:27] <h4wk0> error 18 is a bios cylinder limit
[09:27] <Mikeh> http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/GRUB <<< that has some info on GRUB error 18 Paddy_EIRE
[09:28] <Mikeh> basically you have to create a small ext2 partition at the beginning of your disk and mount it to /boot Paddy_EIRE
[09:29] <fxfitz> My sound control doesn't work in Ubuntu. When I'm playing a song, I can go and set the volume to mute and it doesn't mute, it keeps playing. If I set the volume to really low it doesn't go lower either. Can anyone help??

[09:30] <Nahi> You will not be able to change your system settings in any way (install, remove or upgrade software), because another process is using the packaging system database (probably some other Adept application or apt-get or aptitude).

[09:30] <Nahi> and i just rebooted my system....
[09:30] <lamalex> bjames: sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:30] <Mikeh> Do all soundcard drivers suffer from only one program being able to use them at a time? or can I tweak that somehow?

[09:31] <lamalex> or quiet?
[09:31] <bjames> both quiet and splash

[09:33] <hoffmanc> I don't see a ruby-doc package, is there something I am missing?
[09:33] <phylogenesis> I installed Beryl according to http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu_Feisty_with_XGL but it still won't run
[09:33] <etank> thanks teamwork
[09:33] <teamwork> ur welcome :)
[09:33] <bjames> there is one 2.6.15.26-386 and one 2.6.15.28-386
[09:33] <phylogenesis> it just flashes back to the default window manager

[09:34] <lamalex> both
[09:34] <bjames> ok
[09:34] <mage__> etank: well I have an SD card reader so I used that, even when im in windows to copy apps to my palm
[09:34] <klav> Hi - is there an easy way to reinstall?
[09:34] <teamwork> klav, reinstall ubuntu?
[09:34] <klav> teamwork: yes :(
[09:34] <maan84> Anyone have any idea why Beryl have stopped working after changing to the latest drivers? ty
[09:34] <mc44> klav: you don't need to reinstall, it won't suddenly make nvidia drivers work properly
[09:34] <etank> mage__: yeah. i dont have an sd card reader so that is the problem.
[09:35] <klav> mc44: well - x won't start no matter what i do
[09:35] <teamwork> klav, is your Ubuntu operational as of now?
[09:35] <klav> even uninstalling all nvidia drivers
[09:35] <etank> mage__: i found an app that lets you mount the card when it is still in the device.
[09:35] <mc44> klav: did you try copying that same backup as before?
[09:35] <fxfitz> Does anyone know why my Master in alsamixer doesn't affect the sound? Only PCM does.
[09:35] <klav> well - have to keep doing what mc44 suggested and replace my xorg.conf
[09:35] <klav> with an older one
[09:35] <etank> mage__: the problem is that i have to get it installed first
[09:35] <klav> then start x
[09:35] <Emess> iv got a windows box with wifi and i need to share that connection with kubuntu over lan, anyway to do that? kubuntu currently has no internet connection
[09:35] <mage__> aye
[09:35] <klav> mc44: yes i did
[09:35] <RAdams> fxfitz: that happens to a friend of mine too!
[09:36] <klav> but i have to keep doing it
[09:36] <fxfitz> RAdams, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/93600
[09:36] <klav> comp won't start up x unless i go through that again
[09:36] <mage__> etank: trying out the palm tools is still on my todo list, I've only tried using the network sync redirector :)
[09:36] <mc44> klav: well no, you only need to keep doing it if you keep trying to install nvidia
[09:36] <fxfitz> RAdams, Thats the only thing I can find. But it doesn't tell me a way to fix it! :'(
[09:36] <klav> no i uninstalled
[09:36] <Nahi> fxfitz, how can i fix this ? why is this showing up?? You will not be able to change your system settings in any way (install, remove or upgrade software), because another process is using the packaging system database (probably some other Adept application or apt-get or aptitude). Please close the other application before using this one
[09:36] <mc44> klav: uninstalled what?
[09:36] <etank> mage__: thats cool. thanks.
[09:36] <fxfitz> Nahi, What???
[09:36] <klav> mc44: i went to the manager and it said it was uninstalling glx
[09:36] <shiftplusone> Hey, can grub boot from a bootable iso on the HD?
[09:37] <RAdams> Nahi, do you have another installer open?
[09:37] <RAdams> fxfitz: I'll keep you posted if I find the fix
[09:37] <bjames> lamalex: ok now I have a scrolling command boot
[09:37] <fxfitz> RAdams, Thanks!
[09:37] <bjames> better than nothing

[09:37] <Paddy_EIRE> Mikeh: how am I supposed to know what 512mb is in bytes?
[09:37] <mage__> klav: could just edit your x conf to use a different driver
[09:37] <hoffmanc> Paddy_EIRE: use google
[09:37] <bjames> 512 X 1024 X 1024
[09:37] <RAdams> Nahi: delete the lock file in the var folder. I'm not on my Ubuntu box so I can't check the full path. Someone tell him?
[09:38] <hoffmanc> Paddy_EIRE: "512 megabytes in bytes"
[09:38] <Paddy_EIRE> hoffmanc: are you Mikeh
[09:38] <julius> hello, I'd like to put ubuntu repository on dvd. I've already download them and use debpartial. Now I have to use debcopy to take the informations that are in my Packages.gz and copy the deb of my local repository to put them in the 4 folders. But it doesn't work ? can you help me please ?
[09:38] <lamalex> bjames: did you ever have the boot splash?
[09:38] <teamwork> shiftplusone, yes that's possible, though I don't know how to do that.  the KNOPPIX folks do that all the time.  google "knoppix install" or chat in #knoppix.
[09:38] <klav> mc44: well - I'm really new to all of this - so it's frustrating :(
[09:38] <bjames> lamalex: nope - not until the gdm login
[09:38] <klav> mc44: so i wouldn't even know how to do that :(
[09:38] <phylogenesis> lamalex:  that just says the same thing as the wiki
[09:38] <bjames> but I'm happy with it now
[09:39] <shiftplusone> teamwork, thanks, I'll try finding that
[09:39] <Nahi> RAdams, what the file name and extension
[09:39] <lamalex> ah really? I guess they updated it
[09:39] <r00tintheb0x> Hello everyone!
[09:39] <bjames> lamalex: thanks very much for the help
[09:39] <lamalex> it used to be different
[09:39] <lamalex> what happens with yours?
[09:39] <bjames> lamalex: would it be too much bother to help me with the boot problem as well? I understand if you're busy
[09:39] <r00tintheb0x> If anyone has any advanced problems that haven't been answered yet... feel free to ask me your questions. Im pretty good at resolving advanced problems.

[09:40] <Paddy_EIRE> hoffmanc: that calc or the ubuntu installers manual partition editor is broke
[09:40] <mc44> klav: if you reboot without playing with restricted-manager you shouldn't need to do anything to get x started any more
[09:40] <lamalex> phylogenesis: run it from the commandline
[09:41] <bjames> lamalex: basically I think to solve the problem I need to change the IDE cables over so the compactflash is on the first cable (so the BIOS will boot from it) and the system and media drives are on the other cable
[09:41] <lamalex> see what it gives you
[09:41] <iconos> I have instaled the ati driver from ubuntu repositoires
[09:41] <bjames> if I just switch them over will Linux have a fit?
[09:41] <phylogenesis> run what command?
[09:41] <r00tintheb0x> cool teamwork
[09:41] <r00tintheb0x> shiftplusone, what seems to be the problem.
[09:41] <lamalex> bjames: you don't want your hard drive on the same cable as your cdrom
[09:41] <bjames> i.e. hda -> hdb or something
[09:41] <bjames> lamalex: I think you misunderstand
[09:41] <klav> mc44: i didn't touch it this time
[09:41] <r00tintheb0x> shiftplusone?
[09:42] <lamalex> iconos: what version of beryl is it
[09:42] <lamalex> check synaptic or do beryl --version it hink
[09:42] <klav> mc44: now on restart it says... cannot mount selected partition... :(:(:(:(
[09:42] <klav> sigh.
[09:42] <hoffmanc> does anyone know how to generate the rdoc documentation for ruby, when it was installed using apt?
[09:42] <mc44> klav: er... did you alter any other settings
[09:42] <shiftplusone> r00tintheb0x, do you by any chance know if it is possible to boot an iso image from the HD using grub?
[09:42] <iconos> lamalex beryl 2.0
[09:42] <klav> mc44: no...
[09:42] <bjames> lamalex: at the moment on the first cable I have two hard drives - system and media, on the second I have a compactflash card (in IDE mode) and a CDROM
[09:42] <lamalex> launch the beryl-xgl command
[09:42] <neverblue> i am getting single mouse presses acting like double clicks, something happen in that latest update?
[09:42] <klav> i went through and did sudo cp xorg.conf.number xorg.conf
[09:42] <klav> then startx
[09:42] <mc44> right
[09:42] <r00tintheb0x> yes it is shiftplusone
[09:43] <dfgas> anyone in here use a usb sound device?
[09:43] <bjames> as the BIOS refuses to boot from the large hard drives I want to put the compactflash on the first IDE cable and boot from that
[09:43] <klav> didn't touch a thing - did some Firefoxing then restarted
[09:43] <dave_> i installed ubuntu ona 1024x768 monitor, but have changed to a 1280x1024 monitor. i can change to 1280 using nvidia-settings but on restart its lost. how can i keep the 1280 res?
[09:43] <phylogenesis> lamalex:  what's iconos' issue?
[09:43] <mc44> klav: where are you getting the error?
[09:43] <bjames> but both hard drives will be on different cables to the CDROM so wont slow down
[09:43] <klav> mc44: directly on boot
[09:43] <lamalex> phlogenesis: installation, i think he just wants a howto
[09:43] <r00tintheb0x> Want me to elaborate shiftplusone ?
[09:43] <klav> before the Ubuntu loading screen
[09:43] <shiftplusone> r00tintheb0x, I was reading something about 'burning' it on a CD formatted partition... is that the way to go?
[09:43] <klav> i have 5 options
[09:43] <klav> the 5th is reinstalling OS  :/
[09:44] <Nahi> RAdams, /var/lock but the folder is empty do i remove the whole folder ?
[09:44] <keck0f> mage__: Ctrl-Alt-Fn does not work if gdm is not running and i start X with command "X". where could it be configured?
[09:44] <iconos> lamalex on synaptic  I get: beryl:

[09:44] <shiftplusone> r00tintheb0x, and yes please, google not helping much... thought I didn't dig through too much.
[09:44] <bjames> lamalex: does it sound like something do-able?
[09:44] <phylogenesis> lamalex:  what command should I execute?  run the beryl-manager, or run beryl, ?
[09:44] <mc44> klav: ok, try reinstalling, it shouldn't take long

[09:45] <lamalex> stefg: do you mean free $$ or free libre
[09:46] <phylogenesis> lamalex:  it says no XComposite extension
[09:46] <Nahi> r00tintheb0x, when i open adept manager it says that there is another installer open which there isn't...
[09:46] <stefg> vmware isn't libre at all it's just beer-free

[09:47] <bjames> lamalex: any ideas on my boot problem, or should I make myself some food while you help aldarsior?
[09:47] <r00tintheb0x> ONLY what is inside the " 's
[09:47] <phylogenesis> lamalex:  is it safe to just follow the xgl setup again from the start, or will I need to remove stuff first?
[09:47] <Nahi> r00tintheb0x,  okay
[09:47] <r00tintheb0x> it should shiftplusone =) and you're welcome.
[09:47] <stefg> aldarsior: what do you need it for? you couldn't mean to run windows....

[09:47] <aldarsior> stefg: to run vms that are servers...

[09:49] <Nahi> r00tintheb0x, its still there...
[09:49] <r00tintheb0x> klav, install your kernel headers and download/install the .sh driver package from nvidia.com
[09:49] <teamwork> wow!  rtfm in ubuntu channel!
[09:49] <aldarsior> lamalex: but I'm LAZY
[09:49] <aldarsior> fine :-(

[09:49] <lamalex> I'm happy to help
[09:49] <klav> r00tintheb0x: thanks although i have no idea what you mean or how to do that :)
[09:49] <mc44> klav: er, possibly, but I'm not sure
[09:49] <mc44> r00tintheb0x: thats a pretty bad suggestion
[09:49] <iconos> lamalex: I get the ati logo on the k menu, on click I get : Driver does not provide the FireGL X11extensions!!
[09:49] <r00tintheb0x> klav, pasting the output of ps -aux ?
[09:50] <Paddy_EIRE> could someone help walk me through this install of feisty, I need to have a seperate /boot partition but the partiton tools just keep mounting the drives before they format them and then throwing errors at me
[09:50] <r00tintheb0x> klav, alternatively you can just reboot.
[09:50] <klav> it's formatting now
[09:50] <klav> can't reboot

[09:53] <jrib> Wuselchen: /join #ubuntu-de
[09:53] <death_ray> MrGreen, yes, except flash and wine...
[09:53] <Paddy_EIRE> teamwork: could you not walk me through the creation process for these partitions it would be faster, feisty not the alternate.. i never use the alternate
[09:53] <KnifeyMcShanker> Anyone have any idea what is going on?
[09:54] <sainzeo> does anyone know of a nautilus script for todos?
[09:54] <phylogenesis> nvm fount it :-)
[09:54] <iconos> lamalex: with synaptic i get Depends: beryl-core but it is not going to be installed
[09:54] <iconos>  Depends: libberylsettings0 but it is not going to be installed
[09:54] <iconos>  Depends: libberyldecoration0 but it is not going to be installed

[09:54] <jrib> !paste | iconos
[09:54] <MrGreen> death_ray: guess thats a no then... I live on the web lol
[09:54] <ubotu> iconos: 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)
[09:54] <death_ray> MrGreen, and some codecs. But just use mplayer, 32 bit firefox and recompile wine and you will be perfectly fine
[09:54] <r00tintheb0x> Okay mc44 notated! :)
[09:54] <lamalex> iconos: what version of ubuntu?
[09:54] <stefg> aldarsior: !beryl | iconos
[09:54] <MrGreen> death_ray: thanks man
[09:54] <stefg> !beryl | iconos
[09:54] <ubotu> iconos: Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[09:54] <death_ray> MrGreen, 32 bit firefox works with 64-bit Linux
[09:54] <iconos> lamalex: 6.10
[09:54] <mc44> r00tintheb0x: :) in feisty is should just be a couple of clicks to get them working
[09:54] <death_ray> MrGreen, np
[09:54] <Wips> I'm looking for a bittorrent-client like Utorrent, for Ubuntu.. Anyone have any recommendations?
[09:54] <MrGreen> yeah sort of work around
[09:55] <stefg> sorry aldarsior ... wrong highlight
[09:55] <r00tintheb0x> klav, "aptitude reinstall nvidia-glx" should do it.
[09:55] <death_ray> Wips, look no further then azureus
[09:55] <MrGreen> 32 bit runs fine
[09:55] <lamalex> iconos: that howto is for feisty, do you have the beryl repo added to your /etc/apt/sources.lst?
[09:55] <Wips> ok, thx death_ray..
[09:55] <r00tintheb0x> mc44, i know... im just all about using the latest and greatest... i KNOW the one on NVIDIAs site is the latest, although the one in the repos may be also.
[09:55] <death_ray> MrGreen, unless you have +4GB ram... no real point to swap now. Unless you are a dev?
[09:55] <teamwork> Paddy_EIRE, well, if I were you, I'd use the GParted Livecd to set up my partitions, and then I would use the installer to create mountpoints etc.
[09:55] <iconos> lamalex: yep :)
[09:55] <Lr5> Anyone knows how to fix "failed to set xfermode"?
[09:55] <r00tintheb0x> mc44, sorry... i dont  think of the beginners sometimes :)
[09:55] <Nahi> r00tintheb0x,  http://nomorepasting.com/paste.php?pasteID=80885
[09:55] <mc44> r00tintheb0x: its not even to do with being a beginner, the ones in the repos are updated with kernel updates
[09:56] <Paddy_EIRE> anyone wanna help me partiton my hdd im running from a live cd (feisty) and wanna get started, but I need a seperate /boot or I get grub error 18
[09:56] <aricz> Wips : go for Ktorrent.. almost like Utorrent
[09:56] <Small_Mac> is there some easy way to add icons for applications to the desktop
[09:56] <death_ray> Wips, azureus wins hands down - it works on windows and Linux
[09:56] <r00tintheb0x> Oh mc44 ... i'll keep that in mind :)
[09:56] <iconos> lamalex: http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org
[09:56] <lamalex> small_mac, right click, add launcher
[09:56] <teamwork> Paddy_EIRE, what filesystem are you using?
[09:56] <death_ray> Wips, It is the number one bittorrent client atm, seriously :)

[09:56] <aricz> fanbwoy.. :)
[09:56] <Wips> death_ray: Heh, well.. I chose utorrent before azureus on windows though :P
[09:56] <death_ray> Wips, ah I see :)
[09:56] <ismaelabdlrhmn> can't get x screen after booting feisty. HELP!
[09:56] <Wips> death_ray: : Why do you like it so much?
[09:56] <Small_Mac> lamalex where's add launcher tho hehe
[09:57] <Paddy_EIRE> teamwork: ext3
[09:57] <death_ray> Wips, configurability - if you want it
[09:57] <stefg> Paddy_EIRE: so you obviusly have already investigated ... what's the problem that's causing the grub error?
[09:57] <ismaelabdlrhmn> It mentioned that there's no screen.
[09:57] <death_ray> Wips, oh yeah, i also get +25 kbps with it :)
[09:57] <death_ray> Wips, I used to be on utorrent, btw it works on linux
[09:57] <Paddy_EIRE> stefg: yes
[09:57] <ismaelabdlrhmn> I've got a x1300 ATI Mobility Radeon.
[09:57] <stefg> Paddy_EIRE: what's the problem that's causing the grub error?
[09:57] <Paddy_EIRE> stefg: thats why i need the separate /boot
[09:58] <stefg> Paddy_EIRE: what's the problem that's causing the grub error?
[09:58] <death_ray> Wips, if you are really attatched, utorrent works 100% on Linux
[09:58] <Kirsch> hey guys, i installed ubuntu server and i'm loving it so far, but i can't figure out why cpan didn't install, can anyone tell me which package I need? I can't find it... tried using apt-cache search cpan but none of those are the right one
[09:58] <aricz> Wips, just go for Ktorrent.. try it, you'll like it if you liked Utorrent on wxp.. easy peacy
[09:58] <don_> join #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:58] <Paddy_EIRE> stefg: it needs a seperate /boot as it has an older bios but a big 250gb drive
[09:58] <Nahi> r00tintheb0x, http://nomorepasting.com/paste.php?pasteID=80885
[09:58] <death_ray> Wips, or you could stay with utorrent :)
[09:58] <aricz> death_ray : do they have utorrent for linux?
[09:58] <death_ray> aricz, its supported through wine
[09:59] <aricz> death_ray : you mean he has to emulate windows-environment to use utorrent..
[09:59] <death_ray> aricz, by the utorrent devs
[09:59] <Aeren> oops, i think i screwed it up :s, apt-get says: The package ndas-admin needs to be rinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[09:59] <r00tintheb0x> Nahi, "kill -9 6981 6982 5384"
[09:59] <shiftplusone> r00tintheb0x: hey, istead of mapping the iso to hdZ, how would I (if possible) use a ramdisk for it?
[09:59] <Paddy_EIRE> aricz: runs great in wine
[09:59] <stefg> Paddy_EIRE: i see, you're hitting the 137 GB limit... any chnace to update the bios?
[09:59] <death_ray> aricz, its not as bad as it seems
[09:59] <Aeren> what shall i do now? :s
[09:59] <r00tintheb0x> shiftplusone, that im not too sure of
[09:59] <aricz> death_ray : but why, when we have ktorrent? :)
[09:59] <death_ray> aricz, just double click the .exe and it runs
[09:59] <vid> hi, i'm installin 7.04 right now. I will have separate partition for data, and separate for system. I have 200GB drive, and plan to install few more OSes. How much do you think i should reserve for Ubuntu system?
[09:59] <r00tintheb0x> !google "boot iso" ramdisk | shiftplusone
[09:59] <Nahi> no such process
[09:59] <death_ray> aricz, ktorrent is not as good, bad interface, poor speeds, and very little configurability
[09:59] <Nahi> r00tintheb0x, no such process
[09:59] <r00tintheb0x> Nahi, "ps -aux |grep adept"
[09:59] <ismaelabdlrhmn> How could I fix X to work well?
[09:59] <Paddy_EIRE> stefg: na, the quickist solution i thought would be to have the seperate /boot
[09:59] <death_ray> aricz, azureus and utorrent lead at present
[10:00] <aricz> poor speeds? I get the same speeds I had on utorrent winxp

[10:00] <AmirB> hey, I have a firefox extension (fireshare) that's telling me that I have to change my firewall settings to use it, but as far as I know, I don't have a firewall! Is there some secret firewall on ubuntu that i don't know about or something? And if not, how can I fix the problem?
[10:00] <Smygis> !info blender
[10:00] <r00tintheb0x> whatever is relevant to your grub install shiftplusone

[10:00] <stefg> Paddy_EIRE: might be, but a proper bios never hurts. So do you have a dual boot machine or is this an ubuntu-only box?
[10:00] <Aeren> and pretty content about it
[10:01] <death_ray> aricz, but then again they all do the same thing...
[10:01] <Nahi> leme try if it will work
[10:01] <mag_> I cant see anythin on .wine/driver_c/Archivos de programa and when I try to reinstall swat it says that is allready installed on this machines
[10:01] <mag_> lol
[10:01] <Paddy_EIRE> stefg: ubuntu only and has one big blank drive in it
[10:01] <mag_> what should I do ?
[10:01] <death_ray> aricz, i tried them all and found azureus or utorrent to be on top. I publish my own torrents so i stuck with azureus
[10:01] <aricz> yep, it's just if you were used to utorrent setup, go for ktorrent.. the same 'feel' to it
[10:01] <r00tintheb0x> Nahi, did it kill the process? Does Adept work now?
[10:01] <Polyneux> Hey folks, I'm not really sure whats going on but I have an executeable and apparantly I dont have an application suitible for handling it >.>
[10:01] <Nahi> r00tintheb0x,  trying
[10:01] <r00tintheb0x> !google test
[10:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about google test - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:02] <Aeren> Polyneux: is it an .exe?
[10:02] <death_ray> aricz, i must say, hats off to the wine devs... the fact that utorrent IS on linux is because they are basically rewriting the win API...
[10:02] <teamwork> r00tintheb0x, only the gentoo bot does that, i think.  :)
[10:02] <Wips> death_ray: So you're saying I might actually get higher downloads-speeds with ubuntu? :D
[10:02] <death_ray> Wips, correct
[10:02] <death_ray> Wips, if set up correctly
[10:02] <Wips> How much we talking?
[10:02] <Nahi> r00tintheb0x, no it dosent :(
[10:02] <AmirB> hey, I have a firefox extension (fireshare) that's telling me that I have to change my firewall settings to use it, but as far as I know, I don't have a firewall! Is there some secret firewall on ubuntu that i don't know about or something? And if not, how can I fix the problem?
[10:02] <aricz> strange
[10:02] <r00tintheb0x> ah teamwork :)
[10:02] <death_ray> Wips, i got a 15% increase, but I only have a 4 mbps line :(
[10:02] <shiftplusone> r00tintheb0x: hmm... don't quite understand how the mapping thing works and what it's for..... well.. not the Z part.
[10:02] <r00tintheb0x> teamwork, is there a list of commands for ubotu?
[10:02] <Aeren> AmirB: do you have a router?
[10:02] <r00tintheb0x> shiftplusone, "man grub"
[10:02] <Polyneux> Aeren: It doesnt have an .exe extension (I installed two versions the "Linux" one (the one I'm trying to work) and the Windows one, the Windows one had an .exe but the Linux one doesnt... If that makes a difference.
[10:03] <AmirB> Aeren: yes, I do.
[10:03] <Aeren> or adsl-modem or such
[10:03] <Wips> death_ray: : yeh, that's what I have too
[10:03] <Polyneux> Aeren: *Downloaded not installed
[10:03] <aricz> death_ray : what about rtorrent? know if that one's good?
[10:03] <death_ray> Wips, what speeds do you get? Im curious?
[10:03] <death_ray> aricz, sorry, no idea
[10:03] <Aeren> Polyneux: try to right-click
[10:03] <Aeren> and then permissions
[10:03] <stefg> Paddy_EIRE: so i'd make 1.) 128 MB /boot, ext2  2.) 10 GB / , ext3 3.) 512 MB swap 4.) rest /home , ext3 . you might split the rest to have a separate drive for all the media files
[10:04] <Wips> death_ray: I've been up to 500 kb/s I think.. either it was with DC++ or Utorrent.. dont remember, but usually I top 200 with utorrent.. when I find good torrents
[10:04] <Aeren> and then give it the permission to execute
[10:04] <Wips> death_ray:  And you?
[10:04] <iconos> lamalex: I've just malformed my beryl repository downloaded and changes applied
[10:04] <Paddy_EIRE> stefg: how do I go about doing that
[10:04] <aricz> 500kb/s? :))~~
[10:04] <Polyneux> Aeren: That did the trick! Thanks ^^
[10:04] <Aeren> np

[10:04] <Wips> aricz: Yeah, I think so.. might be false memory though :P
[10:04] <stefg> Paddy_EIRE: tha installer will guide you through it
[10:05] <Paddy_EIRE> stefg: thats why Im here its not
[10:05] <iconos> lamalex: synaptic downloaded and installed ok ...
[10:05] <Aeren> someone: apt-get says: The package ndas-admin needs to be rinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[10:05] <Aeren> what shall i do?
[10:05] <ismaelabdlrhmn> Hey, X experts help me!
[10:05] <Wips> death_ray: ah, k.. Where do you download your torrents? I never get that high, only when I'm really lucky.. but I'm usually not.. having a hard time finding the good torrents
[10:05] <aricz> yesss, I'm interested in trying:)

[10:06] <benchMarc> hi
[10:06] <death_ray> Wips, I mostly use private torrents (between friends) and if i go public ill go semi-public that means demonoid
[10:06] <iconos> lamalex: shuld I restart ??
[10:06] <Paddy_EIRE> stefg: it wont create these partitons as the installer partitoner is giving me options start or end of drive so if I create a 3rd part then it sys i can have the beginning before the end and some other nonsence
[10:06] <benchMarc> hope here are some real Ubuntu pro's :P seems like no one can fix this problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=462314
[10:06] <benchMarc> posted it also on some other forums, no one knows what it is
[10:06] <death_ray> Wips, Its the reason why I get so high... but for the hit torrents (recent ones) I always get around 250
[10:06] <TitanP4> Hello I was wondering if anyone can help me with GRUB
[10:06] <stefg> Paddy_EIRE: you can't use auto partitioning... use the manual option insteadf
[10:06] <Wips> death_ray: yup, I use demonoid too. Between friends? What do you mean? like scene-torrents and such?
[10:07] <death_ray> Wips, no, you can publish your own torrents, and encrypt them
[10:07] <Paddy_EIRE> stefg: that is the manual option :D
[10:07] <lvijay> hi, ever since i upgraded to feisty (from edgy) my eth1 (wireless) configuration is lost.  it used to be that i could say "ifdown eth1" and so on but now when i do, it says "eth1 interface not configured"
[10:07] <lvijay> how do i get it back to the way it was
[10:07] <death_ray> Wips, you only allow who you want... the university i attend is filled with people who torrent on the same network (private) as I
[10:07] <Nahi> anyone help me You will not be able to change your system settings in any way (install, remove or upgrade software), because another process is using the packaging system database (probably some other Adept application or apt-get or aptitude). Please close the other application before using this one
[10:08] <Fawaz> i installed open ssh server on my ubuntu server box but when i try to log in wiht a clien t i get Host key verification failed. what am i missing?
[10:08] <iconos> lamalex: with sudo beryl I get deb http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org edgy main
[10:08] <iconos> deb-src http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org edgy main ....
[10:08] <Small_Mac> is there someway to tell konsole to start in a different folder then my home folder
[10:08] <klav> mc44: OK! fresh install - everything looks good. should i leave nvidia alone for awhile? or whats the first step
[10:08] <death_ray> Wips, anyway, have fun torrenting... lol and dont forget to seed :) cya
[10:08] <aricz> :)
[10:08] <chamunks> is there a way i can chroot a specific user on my computer so they only have access to their home folder
[10:08] <Nahi> r00tintheb0x_, still the same dude....
[10:08] <stefg> Paddy_EIRE: so quit the installer for a moment and just use gParted to preconfigure the partititons.
[10:08] <TitanP4> I have a dual boot sytem I want to change my default operating system
[10:08] <Wips> death_ray: I have almost 3.00 ratio at Demonoid. So you dont have any invites to any private trackers? :D
[10:08] <mc44> klav: ok, first, whats it the nvidia card you have?
[10:08] <TitanP4> not sure how
[10:09] <benchMarc> what's the proper way to uninstall a font?
[10:09] <RAdams> K-Rich: is it one of those new Ubuntu pre-loaded machines?
[10:09] <klav> mc44: 256MB NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300 TurboCache
[10:09] <Paddy_EIRE> stefg: it auto mounts the partiton before it formats and throws me the error that the partiton is mountd
[10:09] <benchMarc> because i installed the Tahoma font, and in Word the font shows how it should look like. But when i set it as as desktop font, then all the characters are blocks
[10:09] <Small_Mac> is there someway to tell konsole to start in a different folder then my home folder
[10:09] <r00tintheb0x_> Nahi, one sec.
[10:10] <Nahi> okay r00tintheb0x_
[10:10] <K-Rich> RAdams: yeah it is upgraded to 1gb ram and 256 nvidia
[10:10] <stefg> Paddy_EIRE: so unmount them
[10:10] <chamunks> is there a way to only allow a user access to their home directory?
[10:10] <Aeren> hmmmm, apt-get says: The package ndas-admin needs to be rinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[10:10] <klav> K-Rich: what was the issue you were having with the video card?

[10:14] <r00tintheb0x> Nahi, are you root or your regular user?'
[10:14] <darwin81> Are there any other frontends available for mplayer other that gmplayer?

[10:14] <teamwork> i see it all the time.

[10:15] <mc44> K-Rich: hmm? you used medibuntu to install the nvidia drivers?
[10:15] <benchMarc> my NetworkManager is screwed o.O it doesn't show any wireless lans. when i disable/enable wireless the problem isn't solved, neither is it when i disable/enable networking
[10:15] <mag_> could someone help me with wine please !
[10:15] <r00tintheb0x> skenmy, im using skype and it returns nothing for me either.
[10:15] <Paddy_EIRE> stefg: where? jeeeze ONE BIG UNFORMATTED DRIVE and I am running from a live cd, you been reading what I've been saying
[10:15] <Paddy_EIRE> stefg: nevermind
[10:15] <r00tintheb0x> Nahi, when its done, try "adept" again.
[10:15] <skenmy> I'm having trouble getting Teamspeak working with aoss
[10:15] <stefg> Paddy_EIRE: ok... now i understand
[10:15] <Nahi> r00tintheb0x, http://www.nomorepasting.com/paste.php?pasteID=80887
[10:15] <skenmy> It just keeps segfaulting
[10:16] <Nahi> check it out
[10:16] <chamunks> is there a way to only allow a user access to their home directory?
[10:16] <skenmy> http://www.pastebin.be/2446
[10:16] <foobar> how do shared hosts forward domains to the right place? eg, how does going to abc.com:80 and xyz.com:80 on the same server end up at the correct instance of apache?
[10:16] <Quintin> chamunks: For what purpose?  desktop user or ssh?
[10:16] <mc44> klav: you have internet working?
[10:16] <klav> yes
[10:17] <PurpZeY> Nahi: How'd you get it to work?
[10:17] <K-Rich> mc44: no just multivers and did apt-get install nvidia-glx
[10:17] <r00tintheb0x> Nahi, looking
[10:17] <Quintin> foobar: HTTP 1.1 headers contain a field with the requested domain.  if only the ip address is used, or there is no vhost setup, it goes to the first configured vhost
[10:17] <stefg> Paddy_EIRE: so quit the installer, unmaout all drives, get a terminal and type 'sudo cfdisk'
[10:17] <Lr5> Looks like adding "irqpoll" to boot line solved the problem, should have listened to the installation before asking...
[10:17] <LjL> !away > kramAWAY    (kramAWAY, see the private message from Ubotu)
[10:17] <mc44> K-Rich: ah
[10:17] <Nahi> PurpZeY, no idea it just worked lol
[10:17] <chamunks> Quintin, ssh in particular but learning the way to do it both ways would be exellent
[10:17] <r00tintheb0x> Nahi, "dpkg --configure -a"
[10:17] <r00tintheb0x> Nahi, do that.
[10:17] <mc44> klav: ok, lets try restricted manager again
[10:17] <klav> oh ready!
[10:17] <r00tintheb0x> Nahi, then...
[10:17] <foobar> Quintin, so how would I set this up on my own server?
[10:17] <PurpZeY> Nahi: For real? like you just rebooted one time and it just worked...damn, that is bizarre.
[10:17] <r00tintheb0x> "sudo aptitude -y install adept"
[10:17] <Yitram> ok can anyone explain Buffer I/O errors and how to fix them?
[10:17] <r00tintheb0x> and Nahi what part of "use pastebin.ca not the pastebin of your choice" did you not understand?
[10:18] <mc44> klav: right, don't panic if it doesn't work :)
[10:18] <Quintin> chamunks: There shouldn't be much of a need for this, really. If you want somethign where user can only upload files, but not use ssh, there is scponly shell
[10:18] <r00tintheb0x> Nahi, if you use your pastebin again... i'll ignore you.
[10:18] <klav> mc44: so enable from manager?
[10:18] <Quintin> foobar: google for apache virtual host
[10:18] <mc44> klav: yep
[10:18] <klav> k brb
[10:18] <Quintin> foobar: read docs on apache
[10:18] <Lr5> Yitram: I have been told they are the sign of dead hardware
[10:18] <r00tintheb0x> I have a reason for pastebin.ca... i can put /raw/ in there and take out all the formatting.
[10:18] <Celt> I need some serious help with the forums.
[10:18] <bjames> lamalex: righ then - I'm back
[10:18] <foobar> Quintin, well i don't necessarily want to run apache as the web host for each domain!
[10:18] <klav> mc44: oh then reboot? or is there more
[10:18] <Nahi> PurpZeY, yup but i need to try multiple times to connect to my wireless
[10:18] <Yitram> well then its saying that my Windows hardisk is dead
[10:18] <klav> its in the other room
[10:18] <mc44> klav: nope, reboot
[10:18] <foobar> that's the problem with using apache's virtual host support
[10:18] <klav> k
[10:18] <bjames> lamalex: more stupid questions on their way
[10:18] <Yitram> i just booted windows yesterday
[10:18] <PurpZeY> Nahi: Whatever, it works.
[10:18] <Nahi> r00tintheb0x, i only know this one
[10:18] <r00tintheb0x> what was that Nahi ?
[10:18] <rambo3> foobar, there is turorial on debian-administration
[10:18] <PurpZeY> !pastebin | nahi
[10:18] <ubotu> nahi: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[10:18] <Yitram> and its been doing this pretty much since the beginning
[10:18] <r00tintheb0x> please repeat... i cleared my screen.
[10:18] <Quintin> foobar: you cannot run two daemons on the same port on unix.  you can on NT, but it's messy.
[10:18] <Nahi> PurpZeY, yup me is happy
[10:19] <Lr5> Yitram: My windows on other computer died that way
[10:19] <PurpZeY> r00tintheb0x: He was having a major wifi problem earlier.
[10:19] <keitaro> is there an working Dreamcast emulator on Linux?
[10:19] <chamunks> Quintin, i jsut have a friend of mind who needs ssh access to my system from time to time and he can be a bit of a trickster
[10:19] <r00tintheb0x> PurpZeY, who was?
[10:19] <Yitram> so should i be getting a new hard drive?
[10:19] <Small_Mac> is there someway to change the default command line folder to something other than the home folder?
[10:19] <foobar> yes i understand this, but surely there is a way to forward port 80 to a different server
[10:19] <PurpZeY> r00tintheb0x: Nahi.
[10:19] <ismaelabdlrhmn> fatal server error: no screens found. XIO: fatal IO error 104 on X server ":0.0" after 0 requests... HELP!
[10:19] <Yitram> or could it mean my MB is going bad?
[10:19] <r00tintheb0x> oh PurpZeY
[10:19] <Quintin> chamunks: then don't give him access.
[10:19] <PurpZeY> r00tintheb0x: Sorry, maybe I misread you. . . .

[10:19] <mobutu> mean ?
[10:19] <LjL> Celt: try #ubuntuforums
[10:19] <Quintin> Celt: /join #ubuntu-forums
[10:19] <Yitram> well thats why i'm asking here lol
[10:20] <klav> mc44: same thing as last time. it's not responding
[10:20] <Celt> ok thanks.
[10:20] <mc44> klav: not responding?
[10:20] <Lr5> Yitram: and in my case, it wasn't hard disk, it was something else
[10:20] <r00tintheb0x> Nahi im GIVING you the URL of the paste bin i want you to use... once again... its http://pastebin.ca
[10:20] <Lr5> as the hard disk works on this computer
[10:20] <klav> mc44: i click enable and nothing happens
[10:20] <Yitram> since i haven't seen anything on the forums that describes what i got going on
[10:20] <r00tintheb0x> PurpZeY, i think you did ;)
[10:20] <foobar> ie take abc:80 to serverip:8080 and xyz:80 to serverip:8000
[10:20] <mc44> klav: are you connected to the internet?
[10:20] <klav> mc44: yes
[10:20] <chamunks> Quintin, well hes not malicious or anything its just he can tend to do annoying things n it would be kewl to learn how to restrict access
[10:20] <klav> ill double check
[10:20] <Nahi> r00tintheb0x, http://www.pastebin.ca/542348
[10:20] <mc44> klav: do sudo apt-get update
[10:20] <r00tintheb0x> thank you Nahi for using pastebin.ca
[10:21] <Quintin> chamunks: what you ask is non-trivial.
[10:21] <Nahi> lol
[10:21] <LjL> mc44 why can't you just give up on the restricted driver thingie and install it manually?
[10:21] <Lr5> Yitram: I have had some help from "pci=nomsi" and "irqpoll" additions to boot line
[10:21] <r00tintheb0x> Nahi, "sudo -i"
[10:21] <bjames> lamalex: can you help with my boot problem (mentioned earlier)?
[10:21] <Lr5> Or well, that was Windows
[10:21] <Lr5> my one was linux
[10:21] <klav> mc44: k
[10:21] <mc44> LjL: because it brok when installing it manually
[10:21] <Nahi> nothing
[10:21] <Lr5> Yitram: Let's just chat about it until someone else notices. :D
[10:21] <r00tintheb0x> Nahi, then put your password in and try "aptitude -y install adept" again.

[10:22] <bjames> ok lamalex seems to be busy - can anyone help with this:
[10:23] <Lr5> Yitram: it hadn't worked before either, but had to take it off when it started doing that
[10:23] <LjL> mc44: "x is broken" = "i will reinstall" seems the norm lately, for some reason
[10:23] <payam> hi
[10:23] <Yitram> well the only reason i ask is that i only get the buffer IO errors on blocks 10-13 of hdb and hdb1
[10:23] <payam> Do you know Borta?
[10:23] <bjames> I've got a motherboard that will refuse to boot from my system drive, so my plan is to swap the IDE cables and boot from a compactflash card (in IDE mode)

[10:23] <chamunks> Quintin, blast well i hoped it would be simple
[10:23] <LjL> Yitram, broken HD?
[10:23] <payam> Shit he kissed a man
[10:23] <bjames> will this kill Linux?

[10:25] <LjL> Yitram: no
[10:25] <Yitram> no?
[10:26] <LjL> Yitram: no, don't try scan and defrag.
[10:26] <LjL> Yitram: if the HD has bad sectors, it's quite likely that a chkdsk or a defrag will kill what's left of your filesystem.
[10:26] <LjL> Yitram: defrag isn't a testing tools, besides
[10:26] <Yitram> true
[10:27] <klav> mc44: reboot a success!
[10:27] <kdubois> defrag? ext doesnt need to defrap ever
[10:27] <klav> yum
[10:27] <flavioribeiro> whats the permission that all users can read edit and change the archives in a directory?
[10:27] <mc44> klav: see. told you it was easy :)
[10:27] <dfgas> are there any external sound sound cards that will work in ubuntu that are super cheap
[10:27] <LjL> kbrooks: we're not talking about ext. and that's not true anyway.
[10:27] <Yitram> i'm not near that computer right now.....so i can't do anything for another half hour or so til i get off work and then 3 minutes back to my apartment

[10:32] <ikonia> dave ok - the desktop is starting but the window manager is not launching properly. Are you using "desktop effects"
[10:32] <Yitram> i'll get back on here after I do that
[10:32] <Yitram> later all
[10:32] <kjackson793> good day... I recently installed ubuntu and my resolution was set at 1024x768 ... somehow it got reset to 800x600 ...  I installed an update and it returned to 1024x768 ... now its back at 800x600 and when I go to the screen resolution setting window by only choices are 800x600 and 640x480 ... I'm sure I need to set my monitor type but can't find where to do that.  and why would it be ok at first then magically switch?
[10:32] <cchance> Is Ubuntu 7.04 ok to work on an Acer Aspire 5100 how would it perform
[10:33] <ikonia> cchance: depends on the spec
[10:33] <Paddy_EIRE> stefg: the partitons could not be queued in gparted nor the ubiquity tool so I did them 1 at a time unmouting each time, then ran the installer with manual partitioning.. hopefully when this finishes installing no grub error 18
[10:33] <stefg> !fixres | kjackson793
[10:33] <ubotu> kjackson793: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[10:33] <dave> ikonia yes, but the probs only started after re-config x cos it wasnt starting in 1280x 1024 like it shudw with new monitor
[10:33] <elfranger> Hi all
[10:33] <cchance> ikonia, Whats the minimum
[10:33] <ikonia> cchance: its listed on ubuntu.com
[10:33] <kjackson793> ubotu.. I'll try that...
[10:33] <ikonia> dave are you using an nvidia card /
[10:33] <ikonia> ?
[10:33] <orbisvicis> ok, whats wrong with this instead <dd if=/home/Ubuntu/lhumen/Desktop/memtest86+-1.70.bin of=/dev/fd0> if i get names like  ?"?? ??      ??????.???    ??b#????.?r"  ?.?h ?
[10:33] <mag_> in #winehq
[10:33] <elfranger> does anyone know of a proxy server that has a web interface for adding sites to be blocked or similar?
[10:34] <ikonia> obsethryl: well, you'll need a file system on /dev/fd0 and you've not said a block size
[10:34] <stefg> Paddy_EIRE: good... so i was prepared to guide you through good old fashioned (TM) manual partitioning on the console
[10:34] <obsethryl> ikonia: ????
[10:34] <bluefox83> no fix to my bug >.>
[10:34] <ikonia> obsethryl: yes
[10:34] <obsethryl> ikonia: hi in anycase :P
[10:34] <ikonia> obsethryl:  hello there !
[10:34] <orbisvicis> lol, ikonia, obsethryl orbisvicis, lol
[10:34] <obsethryl> ikonia: i dont remember asking something, it must be the orbisvicis guy
[10:34] <obsethryl> :P
[10:35] <ikonia> obsethryl:  sorry
[10:35] <dave> ikonia yes geforce 6600 256mb
[10:35] <Paddy_EIRE> stefg: that tool actually is what I am reading about at the moment... thx your a gent anyhow
[10:35] <iconos> Hello, I'm on Ubuntu 6.10, I wantto  ATI Radeon Xpress 200M 3d renderyng for Bryl, any help .. ?
[10:35] <stefg> Paddy_EIRE: and i agree that ubiquity and gParted need serious work
[10:35] <ikonia> dave there is a glitch with certain cards where the framebuffer driver wants 32 bit colour (???) you have to reset it to 24 bit and the menu bars re-appear
[10:35] <ikonia> iconos: how about ask a question
[10:36] <lamalex> iconos: try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=321766
[10:36] <dave> ikonia i said no to framebuffer on x setup shud i say yes?
[10:36] <lamalex> that worked for me on edgy
[10:36] <orbisvicis> ikonia, does bs=512 count=2  sound good ?
[10:36] <Paddy_EIRE> stefg: what is the least hassle way of discovering what the bios is (manufacturer) so If at a later date wanted to upgrade it
[10:36] <orbisvicis> for a floppy
[10:36] <usagi__> my kubuntu64 install stopped at openoffice-java common and isnt moving what could be the problem?
[10:37] <bruenig> usagi__, #kubuntu
[10:37] <ikonia> dave no, I know its not obvious but even though you said "no" to framebuffer the nvidia driver needs this setting
[10:37] <ikonia> orbisvicis: bs=512k
[10:37] <narg> So I'm going to install Ubuntu on a machine, but I probably will rarely if ever see it again; it will be used just for basic productivity/web/etc. I'm more familiar with kubuntu, but should I go Ubuntu on it? (is ubuntu more independent than kubuntu?)
[10:37] <ikonia> orbisvicis: (don't forget the k or kb or m)
[10:37] <stefg> Paddy_EIRE: feed model and make of your box / mobo and 'bios' to google
[10:37] <orbisvicis> oh, thanks ikonia
[10:37] <bruenig> narg, independent?
[10:37] <ikonia> narg: both are the same
[10:37] <narg> bruenig: self sufficient
[10:37] <bruenig> narg, same
[10:38] <ikonia> narg: they are both the same - produced by the same business
[10:38] <bluefox83> narg, kubuntu just uses a different desktop environment than ubuntu, if it';s just going to be a headless server, ubuntu will be fine :)
[10:38] <dave> ikonia, so what should i do? it was all ok running the old monitor at 1024x768. i was just wanting to get x working on startupp at 1280x1024
[10:38] <bobsumone> hey stupid question time!!
[10:38] <bobsumone> hey stupid question time!!
[10:38] <bruenig> !repeat | bobsumone
[10:38] <ubotu> bobsumone: 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
[10:38] <bruenig> !ask | bobsumone
[10:38] <ubotu> bobsumone: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[10:38] <narg> bluefox83: it will be a desktop thing. I realize the difference between them ;)
[10:38] <ikonia> dave you need to have a quick search on the forum for the correct setting as I can't remember the command.
[10:38] <bobsumone> can I change the color of the text displayed by ubuntu server's default settings?
[10:38] <ikonia> dave it a command you pass directly to the nvidia driver one time
[10:38] <dave> ikonia any search tips
[10:39] <bruenig> bobsumone, edit /etc/profile
[10:39] <ikonia> dave nvidia 32 bit colour compiz
[10:39] <bluefox83> narg, then base it on which one you prefer to use, because kubuntu and ubuntu are basically the same thing
[10:39] <ikonia> dave something along those lines
[10:39] <iconos> lamalex: thks , with glxinfo |grep rendering I get direct rendering: no   But I'lll read first the link, thks any way
[10:39] <bobsumone> bruenig: what am I looking for?
[10:39] <`davo> hey, how do I password protect a folder outside of the terminal?
[10:39] <bruenig> bobsumone, it is complex, you probably should read the documentation
[10:39] <tuxcrafter> how do i print a document in booklet and duplex mode from a document that has multiple portrait and landscape orientated pages  with openoffice?
[10:39] <lamalex> iconos: if you get "no" then fglrx isn't installed properly

[10:41] <bruenig> bobsumone, yeah, the color codes are like \033]  for red or something, hard to know without reading docs
[10:41] <bobsumone> hai ikonia :)
[10:41] <bluefox83> wow, i'm amazed xchat rendered all that russian text O.O
[10:41] <ikonia> errr hi

[10:41] <ikonia> mag_: you get good wine support in #winehq
[10:41] <ikonia> AmirB: ip addr
[10:41] <stefg> bluefox83: that's not xchat, but the wise decisison of ubuntu to employ utf-8 :-)
[10:42] <AmirB> ikonia: thanks
[10:42] <mag_> ikonia:  in winehq anypeople answer
[10:42] <ompaul> bobsumone, how hard is:  setterm -foreground black -background white -store
[10:42] <ikonia> mag_: pardon ?
[10:42] <heiner> AmirB: which one, you could have many
[10:42] <shiftplusone> r00tintheb0x: hey, didn't work, map --rehook isn't recognized and without it I get error 22... or 21... don't remember.

[10:42] <ikonia> mag_: then wait
[10:43] <ikonia> mag_: they will answer
[10:43] <Corvinis-V> might be a stupid question: but how do i make a shortcut to a folder in linux ?
[10:43] <bobsumone> oh shit i know these color codes, lol
[10:43] <mag_> mmm I have all the moring on that channel
[10:43] <mag_> ikonia:    mmm I have all the moring on that channel

[10:43] <bobsumone> its the old 16 bit color codes from back in the day
[10:43] <ikonia> bobsumone: there is no need for bad language
[10:43] <ompaul> !language | bobsumone
[10:43] <ubotu> bobsumone: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[10:43] <bobsumone> im sorry
[10:43] <leagris> bobslaede, ANSI color codes
[10:43] <stefg> Corvinis-V: man ln
[10:43] <bruenig> bobsumone, here do this: echo -e "\033"
[10:43] <ikonia> mag_:  try #wine
[10:44] <r00tintheb0x> shiftplusone, any reason you dont want to burn a cd? Do you not have a burner?
[10:44] <mag_> ikonia: ok
[10:44] <bruenig> oh it stops after the next command, woops
[10:44] <elfranger> dows anyone know squid?
[10:44] <ikonia> elfranger: yes
[10:44] <bobsumone> ah
[10:44] <ikonia> elfranger: do you have a question
[10:44] <elfranger> yes
[10:44] <bobsumone> cool
[10:45] <elfranger> I have squid running, and also managing it through webmin...
[10:45] <ikonia> elfranger: ok
[10:45] <shiftplusone> r00tintheb0x: have a burner but don't have rw cds, plus it's something I wanted how to do a while ago
[10:45] <ikonia> elfranger: webmin is the devil
[10:45] <elfranger> can I add a list of URLs that I want to be blocked?
[10:45] <RAdams> elfranger: webmin loves you. YOU WILL LOVE WEBMIN END TRANSMISSION
[10:45] <ikonia> elfranger: you need to create a blacklist - this can be done in a flat file or through a database such as mysql
[10:45] <elfranger> how?
[10:46] <ikonia> elfranger: read the docs
[10:46] <elfranger> hehe, ok
[10:46] <elfranger> I will give it a try again
[10:46] <stefg> elfranger: /etc/hosts ... put 127.0.0.1 in front and they are redirected to your own box
[10:46] <ikonia> elfranger: squid docs walk you through black listing. You can add mass lists using regex
[10:46] <ikonia> elfranger: its quite good
[10:46] <stefg> elfranger: scratch... didn't read carefully
[10:47] <phidef_> salu
[10:47] <r00tintheb0x> shiftplusone, i dont remember exactly how to do it... but i know its possible. Try looking around here: Writing extended state information... Error!
[10:47] <r00tintheb0x> oops
[10:47] <iconos> lamalex: I'm downloading the link driver ... or should I retry synaptic  fglrx ??
[10:47] <r00tintheb0x> shiftplusone, i dont remember exactly how to do it... but i know its possible. Try looking around here: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=com.ubuntu%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=gM0&q=%22boot+from+iso%22+linux&btnG=Search
[10:47] <r00tintheb0x> there you go shiftplusone

[10:48] <r00tintheb0x> No problem shiftplusone
[10:48] <Rubiks99> hi, how can i change the ip address of ubuntu server from the terminal (no gui)
[10:49] <ikonia> Rubiks99: change the interfaces file
[10:49] <Quintin> Rubiks99: man interfaces
[10:49] <Rubiks99> ??
[10:49] <ikonia> Rubiks99: change the interfaces file
[10:49] <ikonia> man interfaces
[10:49] <Rubiks99> it only has terminal
[10:49] <ikonia> yes
[10:49] <null7238> what's a good ftp server out there that's secure and supports virtual users?
[10:49] <Rubiks99> it server, there is no other interface (atleast i dont htink so
[10:49] <ikonia> use a text editor to read the man pages for "interfaces" then from that info change the interfaces file
[10:50] <Rubiks99> oh
[10:50] <Rubiks99> !
[10:50] <Rubiks99> interface
[10:50] <stefg> haha
[10:50] <Rubiks99> so how do i change the interface?
[10:50] <Barbelos> I remember once that I changed a setting somewhere, so that a command would automatically be run with admin-priviliges, but now I can't find it again. Something about sudoers lists. Anyone know where or how?
[10:50] <Rubiks99> im rly new to linux
[10:50] <ikonia> Rubiks99: read the man page
[10:50] <Rubiks99> man page?
[10:50] <Rubiks99> main page?
[10:50] <ikonia> Rubiks99: type "man interfaces"
[10:51] <Rubiks99> man interfaces
[10:51] <Rubiks99> in google
[10:51] <ikonia> in a terminal
[10:51] <rbs-tito> Rubiks99: In a shall!
[10:51] <rbs-tito> *shell
[10:51] <Rubiks99> alright
[10:51] <Rubiks99> sry if i seem slow
[10:51] <Rubiks99> man interfaces
[10:51] <ikonia> no - in a shell
[10:51] <Rubiks99> sry, wrojn keyboard
[10:51] <ikonia> not in here
[10:51] <stefg> *note* IRC clients are /not/ your terminal, and typing passwords in it to be shouted to the world can be quite annoying
[10:51] <Wips> I'm trying to edit which program Opera opens the torrents in, from bittorrent to Azureus.. I know how to do it, but not where to find Azureus
[10:52] <RAdams> Wips: Look in /opt/azureus
[10:53] <Jabapyth> where is application data stored? (is there a specific place?)
[10:53] <Wips> nothing there..
[10:53] <Wips> I dont know .. It just installed itself
[10:53] <Some_Person> whats something cool you can do with Ubuntu?
[10:53] <hylje> Some_Person: develop python apps
[10:54] <Some_Person> i said cool, not hard work!
[10:54] <johnybot> Some_Person: play nexiuz
[10:54] <stefg> Some_Person: typing /j #ubuntu-offtopic to a irc client is a very cool hack
[10:55] <Rubiks99> alright, i now know what i need (or at least thing i do), so how can i leave this manual?
[10:55] <johnybot> Some_Person: you could watch a movie in ascii
[10:55] <Some_Person> no it isn't
[10:55] <rbs-tito> Rubiks99: Press q to leave
[10:55] <Rubiks99> *probably a noob question, but yeah...
[10:55] <Some_Person> you can do that in windows!
[10:55] <Rubiks99> thank you\
[10:55] <bobsumone> well that wasnt so hard
[10:56] <Wips> Some_Person: Trying all the different Solitair-versions :P that's actually great fun
[10:56] <bobsumone> but i bet compiling a new kernal might be a chor
[10:56] <Some_Person> boring!
[10:56] <ikonia> Some_Person: join #ubuntu-offtopic for non ubuntu support questions
[10:56] <quangle> hey guys. Just curious. For the following command "nohup java MyProg > /dev/null 2>&1 &", what does "2>&1" mean?

I push enter to boot Ubuntu, and then a strange console thing appears. When tht goes away, I see a blue/purple/black screen with strange symbols like #%$$^&%*%($[[] ] ] . I then turn off my laptop as I'm scared. What is going on???????
[11:01] <bobsumone> did you google it?

[11:01] <caravel> using ubuntu 7.04 installer I have created a tiny separate, additional grub partition which I want to use as a multiOS/distros selector. I access the grub shell and can run commands correctly, but can't display the menu. Can anyone help me debug fix this please ?
[11:01] <Jowi> nicholas76, if the laptop is shaking, call your laptop manufacturer and have the thing repaired.
[11:01] <slavik> nicholas76: select the option to scan the disk
[11:01] <compsman> its supose to shake a little
[11:01] <Ghost_Auk> francois:  .. the eclipse website has a faq for installing & setup
[11:01] <Wips> Where does Ubuntu generally install new applications? I'm trying to find Azureus..
[11:01] <compsman> its going fast
[11:01] <compsman> cd roms are small
[11:02] <slavik> Wips: type 'azureus' into terminal :)
[11:02] <nicholas76> slavik: I did the scan and it said it was OK
[11:02] <francois> Ghost_Auk: do you think you can find me a link ? i've been stuck at this for a day now, which is rediculous,
[11:02] <Jowi> nicholas76, don't put any more CD's in the drive in case it shatters a disc and destroys something important.

[11:02] <Jowi> nicholas76, you said your whole laptop was shaking when you put in the disc.
[11:03] <kekZpriester> default group of a automounted usb storage is 'root', how can i change this?
[11:03] <compsman> i need to get my atheros working
[11:03] <Ghost_Auk> francois  google can find it faster than I could

[11:15] <super-6-1> hello im haveing troble getting linux to reconize my pci wireless card can you help?
[11:15] <jujimufu> I have downloaded gnome-bluetooth, bluez, gammu and wammu, and I have set up gammurc to have a pin, namely 5432. But when I run wammu and it detects my phone, on my phone I am asked whether I want a connection with the computer. I say yes, and it asks for a password. I put the password I have pre-arranged, but it says "connection failed". Any ideas?

[11:16] <Jowi> Arrick, sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start
[11:17] <Arrick> thanks
[11:17] <Arrick> failed Jowi
[11:18] <Jowi> Arrick, details?
[11:18] <compsman> omg
[11:18] <vakosel> sudo apt-get instal linux-headers -uname -r is right?
[11:18] <compsman> the drivers are soo messed up
[11:18] <Arrick> thats all I get is fail in the right side of the screen when I run that command Jowi
[11:18] <acr0nym> !ask
[11:18] <stefg> Arrick: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[11:18] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[11:18] <vakosel> to install headers?
[11:18] <Arrick> I already did that part stefg
[11:19] <stefg> Arrick: should be started automagically then
[11:19] <compsman> omg
[11:19] <Arrick> hrmm
[11:19] <Arrick> ok
[11:19] <Arrick> etc/interfaces is the network seettings rigth?
[11:19] <Jowi> Arrick, "sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart" give you any more details? if not, check the /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[11:19] <compsman> my atheros card is not workin:(
[11:20] <compsman> omg
[11:20] <stefg> !doesn't work | compsman
[11:20] <ubotu> compsman: 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.
[11:20] <ikonia> compsman: you've said that twice
[11:20] <ikonia> compsman: any chance of a better description than "omg"
[11:20] <Arrick> saiud it passed that time, must have been runnning Jowi
[11:20] <compsman> my atheros carddrivers are screwed
[11:20] <Arrick> Jowi, where do i set static IP's?
[11:21] <ikonia> compsman: you've also said that two times

[11:21] <compsman> how can i reinstall the stupid drivers?
[11:21] <timposey> is there a channel for Ubuntu Server Edition?
[11:21] <Xsylotte> question: is there any emule debian package ?
[11:22] <stefg> !p2p | Xsylotte

[11:22] <Arrick> is there a place I can see what a static setup looks like on the server install?
[11:22] <kekZpriester> kann ich irgendwo ndern, was 'defaults' in /etc/fstab bedeutet?
[11:22] <Arrick> static IP that is
[11:22] <phylogenesis> what is a good C++ IDE?
[11:22] <compsman> ok iu guess no one can help me to get my atheros card to work:(
[11:23] <ikonia> compsman: you've given us NO information other than "omg" and "The drivers are screwed"
[11:23] <Jowi> Arrick, /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf should have a "alias" example for a static address.
[11:23] <stefg> Arrick: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24315/
[11:23] <salvador> HOLA
[11:23] <compsman> welll my card is not showning

[11:24] <compsman> tryed it
[11:24] <Arrick> or is that automatic
[11:24] <compsman> it just mess it up more
[11:25] <Xsylotte> how to install it ?
[11:25] <stefg> Arrick: no, that's /etc/resolv.conf
[11:25] <LjL> Xsylotte, like any other package. you make sure you have the Universe component enabled, and then either type  sudo apt-get install amule  in the terminal, or install it from Synaptic.
[11:25] <LjL> !software > Xsylotte    (Xsylotte, see the private message from Ubotu)
[11:25] <Arrick> ok
[11:25] <ikonia> compsman: we can't help you while you describe your problems like that "it messes up" and "its broke" etc etc.
[11:26] <Arrick> and that gets rewritten all the time right stefg ?
[11:26] <Xsylotte> can i find amule in synaptic or ?
[11:26] <compsman> i need the drivers so i can get it running
[11:26] <LjL> Xsylotte: after enabling Universe, of course you can.
[11:26] <stefg> Arrick: yeah... never understood why, but thtat turned inta a dynamic setting :-\
[11:27] <timposey> is there a channel for Ubuntu Server Edition?
[11:27] <Arrick> stefg, thats fine, i can forward the tunnels with putty
[11:27] <bruenig> timposey, no
[11:27] <kitche> timposey: well it's the same really just the kernel might be more kernel specific
[11:27] <desdes> what is the best IRC client for ubuntu?
[11:27] <LjL> !best > desdes    (desdes, see the private message from Ubotu)
[11:27] <LjL> !irc > desdes    (desdes, see the private message from Ubotu)
[11:27] <ikonia> LjL: that factoid is a life saver
[11:28] <Xsylotte> frostwire gone crazy...whatever i search for i get some strange exe files and porn...
[11:28] <LjL> ikonia: of course, i made it.
[11:28] <colbert> any alternatives to Evolution for e-mail? I find it awfully slow and such
[11:28] <compsman> 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. Unknown device 001c (rev 01)
[11:28] <kitche> Xsylotte: umm that's how most p2p are :)
[11:28] <Xsylotte> :D
[11:28] <Xsylotte> lucky me :D
[11:28] <stefg> colbert: try thunderbird
[11:28] <EADG_> colbert: Thunderbird springs to mind.
[11:28] <kitche> colbert: um thunderbird or kmail(kde app)
[11:29] <compsman> now u guys get it?
[11:29] <compsman> its unknown in ubuntu
[11:29] <ikonia> compsman: no its not
[11:29] <Xsylotte> i can't wait 64bit flash :D
[11:29] <ikonia> compsman: thats the definitions from pci'ids file
[11:29] <desdes> is there a DC++ client for ubuntu?
[11:29] <Xsylotte> i hate that i can't open flash in ubuntu. :( and no, iwdon't want to install 32 bit version of firefox and flash.
[11:29] <EADG_> desdes: there are a few, I boils down to personnel prefrance... xchat, bitchX, irssi, wine+mirc, Kchat, etc.
[11:29] <kitche> Xsylotte: you can try nspluginwrapper
[11:30] <Xsylotte> kitche: no thx :D
[11:30] <ikonia> Xsylotte: you'll be waiting a fair while
[11:30] <compsman> wellhow can i fix the drivers?
[11:30] <tarzeau> Xsylotte: hate adobe.com
[11:30] <Xsylotte> heh :D
[11:30] <tarzeau> Xsylotte: or the people creating flash
[11:30] <desdes> yeh think xchat seems good so far
[11:30] <colbert> kmail will work ok on Gnome ??
[11:30] <Arrick> cool
[11:30] <Xsylotte> i hate flash :D
[11:30] <magnetron> install the "gnash" package
[11:30] <Xsylotte> and people that are using it :D
[11:30] <tarzeau> magnetron: that's crap
[11:30] <ikonia> tarzeau: so is saying "I hate adobe"
[11:30] <louis_> your helpful
[11:30] <kitche> magnetron: it only supports like flash5 or so
[11:31] <ikonia> its early
[11:31] <firefly2442> My ubuntu takes a few minutes to load drivers, and sometimes it says "failed" how can I check this? dmesg?
[11:31] <EADG_> desdes: It does the job :)
[11:31] <magnetron> tarzeau: getting better by the day. it supports youtube i've heard
[11:31] <kitche> firefly2442: yes or syslog
[11:31] <magnetron> kitche: not true. almost all flash7 and 8 and many flash9
[11:31] <ikonia> magnetron: 32bit version is progressing much better than the 64 bit - but it is moving. I'm very impressed by the pace
[11:31] <desdes> what do people use as a Direct Connect client on ubuntu?
[11:31] <compsman> omg i need the driversfor ar5007eg so i can use it
[11:32] <ikonia> compsman: you've said about 10 times
[11:32] <tarzeau> compsman: o rly?
[11:32] <compsman> were is the drivers?
[11:32] <ikonia> in the kernel
[11:32] <tarzeau> in my pants
[11:32] <magnetron> !patience | compsman

[11:32] <compsman> ?????????//
[11:32] <LjL> desdes: dcgui springs to mind
[11:32] <kitche> magnetron:  gnu probably hasn't updated the site in a long time like many of their other sites since it still says flash5:)
[11:32] <firefly2442> kitche: what am I looking for? critical errors or something?
[11:32] <desdes> ok i'll check it out
[11:33] <compsman> i just want my card to work
[11:33] <kitche> firefly2442: see if it says anything about devices or errors
[11:33] <ikonia> compsman: we know
[11:33] <ikonia> you've told us 10 times
[11:33] <compsman> well wat am i suppose to do then?
[11:33] <timposey> I currently have a virtual dedicated server using fedora redhat plesk control panel, php, etc... it's not onsite but at a server farm would anyone recommend me switching to ubuntu server edition... The reason for my switch would be better community help and ease of operation that I like in my ubuntu system on my local machine.  Plus it seems that ubuntu is easier to update...
[11:33] <kitche> compsman: is this a wifi card?
[11:34] <compsman> yea a atheros ar 5007eg
[11:34] <kitche> compsman: got madwifi installed?
[11:34] <ikonia> timposey: there is very little reason to switch. Its what your most comfortable with and what suites your needs
[11:34] <compsman> like i sai dunno
[11:34] <kitche> timposey: I haven't found any host that does ubuntu VPS
[11:34] <compsman> i dunno
[11:34] <ikonia> kitche: docs looks like its its supported in the kernel
[11:34] <compsman> wat is madwifi?
[11:35] <UNDERsoN> !kernel
[11:35] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[11:35] <ikonia> compsman: its mentioned in that docs you said you'd read
[11:35] <firefly2442> could it be the DMA interrupt? http://pastebin.ca/542577
[11:35] <kitche> ikonia: well it might be I always install madwifi for atheros wifi cards
[11:35] <timposey> kitche Godaddy says that I can install any software that I want... I may be wrong about the ability to switch...
[11:35] <compsman> i tryed it
[11:35] <compsman> it failed
[11:35] <desdes> do i need to defrag with ubuntu?
[11:35] <colbert> kmail will work ok on Gnome ??
[11:35] <firefly2442> desdes: no, you're probably using a journaled file system
[11:35] <compsman> fail to make
[11:35] <kitche> timposey: any software but not an operating system
[11:35] <LjL> desdes: under normal conditions, no
[11:35] <sacater> colbert: yes, it will ask to install some libraries but thats about it
[11:35] <Scunizi> colbert, yep.. running it now.. koffice works good too.
[11:36] <LjL> firefly2442: ... and that has to do with defragmentation how? =)
[11:36] <colbert> thx
[11:36] <Darque> Hi, guys...  I'm having a bit of a problem with Feisty Fawn on a laptop.  I'm trying to play video, and it looks like everything loads alright, but then I get a black screen while the audio works fine.  Even weirder, if I move the window around a bit, it starts working until I click somewhere or move the window again.  It's so close to working perfectly that I'm sure it'll work - but how do I make it so I don't need to keep moving the window around a few pi
[11:36] <Darque> xels at a time in order to get picture?  I've tried the regular Movie Player as well as VLC, and they both behave identically in this respect.
[11:36] <magnetron> desdes, no ubuntu handles that automatically
[11:36] <Darque> Er, the video screen is all black, not my whole screen, that is.
[11:36] <firefly2442> LjL: it's the filesystem type no? that's the whole issue with defrags
[11:37] <sacater> Darque: are you using ubuntu's default media player /totem
[11:37] <LjL> magnetron: not really. the filesystem merely puts files in places that are statistically unlikely to cause painful fragmentation
[11:37] <LjL> firefly2442: erm, no
[11:37] <Darque> It has this behavior with the default media player, as well as VLC.
[11:37] <Darque> (Thanks, Sacater.)
[11:38] <sacater> Darque: right ok, do you know what DVD content scrambling system you have installed?
[11:38] <sacater> Darque: otherwise known as libcss
[11:38] <LjL> firefly2442: any filesystem gets fragmented. for some, fragmentation gives bigger performance penalties, for others, less so. and also, as i said, some filesystems are "smarter" in the way they place files. fragmentation still occurs though, it's just unlikely to be a problem, at best
[11:38] <sacater> or libdvdcss
[11:38] <rbs-tito> #openmoko
[11:38] <phylogenesis> How do I check how much RAM I have?
[11:38] <kitche> sacater: he said nothing about dvd playing
[11:38] <rbs-tito> Sorry
[11:38] <LjL> phylogenesis: type "free"
[11:38] <sacater> !DVD | Darque
[11:38] <ubotu> Darque: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[11:38] <firefly2442> LjL: right, I didn't mean that it never occurs, just that you don't really have to worry about it
[11:39] <sacater> whoops
[11:39] <computermc> what is the key to release my mouse from a virtualbox machine?
[11:39] <LjL> firefly2442: but being journalled or not has nothing to do with it
[11:39] <Darque> Uh...  Let me look.  I know I have whatever it should basically come with...  and I installed the file that Synaptic said I needed for WMV playback.
[11:39] <sacater> Darque: is this DVDs or regular video?
[11:39] <m1r0> how to disable compiy from starting ?
[11:39] <LjL> computermc: ctrl+alt i think
[11:39] <m1r0> compiz
[11:39] <Darque> Both, Sacater.
[11:39] <rbs-tito> Speaking of DVDs, when i copy one in Ubuntu it takes over an hour to import it. Using the exact same machine it takes about 20 minutes in Windows.
[11:39] <sacater> Darque: well libdvd MAY help with the dvd's
[11:39] <computermc> LjL: thanks I will try that
[11:40] <compsman> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24317/
[11:41] <compsman> u guys read it?
[11:41] <phylogenesis> LjL:  what part of that is my total detected RAM?  (I suspect it isn't seeing the second 256MB chip)
[11:41] <firefly2442> Is a "DMA interrupt recovery" bad?
[11:41] <LjL> phylogenesis: top left figure.
[11:42] <phylogenesis> LjL:  what are those numbers, KB?
[11:42] <Darque> I have libdvdnav4 installed, as well as libdvdread3.  (If I'm using this Synaptics right.)
[11:42] <compsman> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24317/ is the failer of madwifi
[11:42] <Darque> Lots of experience with Windows, still an Ubuntu newbie, though.
[11:42] <compsman> can any one help me
[11:42] <phylogenesis> What can I do to make use of all my RAM, Ubuntu is only using one chip
[11:43] <see-g> hi there ... does anyone know how to read a Palm Pilot database on a linux machine?
[11:43] <firefly2442> compsman: why are you trying to compile it?
[11:44] <ikonia> firefly2442: because he doesn't listen or read
[11:44] <compsman> well its not working
[11:44] <LjL> phylogenesis: quite
[11:44] <ikonia> shock horror
[11:44] <compsman> omg
[11:44] <ikonia> ooho another "omg"
[11:44] <compsman> its not working
[11:44] <stefg> phylogenesis: you can edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add a boot-parameter like 'mem=2048M' to force the usage of 2 GB. how much ram you've got?
[11:44] <ikonia> another "its not working"
[11:44] <firefly2442> compsman: it's in the repo, madwifi-tools
[11:44] <compsman> the site dont help...
[11:44] <ikonia> all we need now is "its messed up"
[11:45] <phylogenesis> stefg:  512MB, it's only using 256MB, as if 512 was plenty in the first place
[11:45] <Arrick> hey all again
[11:45] <Arrick> on the newest server distro, how does one revonfigure the network interface, because i moved my VM and its not seeing the interfaces anymore
[11:45] <Arrick> reconfigure
[11:46] <stefg> phylogenesis: so add mem=512M to the kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:46] <ikonia> Arrick: the interfaces file
[11:46] <Arrick> as in reinstall the interface actually
[11:46] <Arrick> ikonia, I mean install the NIC
